facebook is starting to get annoying

mainly due to general display of human stupidity

Nathan Osman

12:20 AM

This USB cable might be a tad too long...

Seth

some serious nostalgia there.

Serg

@NathanOsman There's no such thing as USB cable being too long. They're always not long enough

Nathan Osman

I had the cable connected to a USB extension cable and it must have been too long. The device kept getting power resets.

Serg

what about the connector itself ? Poor contact could cause it

Nathan Osman

Possibly.

I removed the extension cable, so we'll see if that helps.

Serg

12:31 AM

Odd behavior. When I try to move cursor to left monitor, it causes dash to show up

Zacharee1

12:53 AM

good god that was a bad movie

Don't watch The Lazarus Effect

Seth

what's it about?

Zacharee1

1:23 AM

look up a plot summary

I'm terrible at them

Serg

1:39 AM

Anybody ever worked on Elementary OS here ?

I'm considering making a move of installing and developing on Elementary

Nathan Osman

Nope, but you can be sure NitroShare runs on it.

I test it on everything :P

Serg

Lol, OK. That's all that matters then

Thomas Ward

@Serg You are more likely to find those people here, instead of Ask Ubuntu.

but you should already know this.

Serg

I already know this, but I wanted to ask amongst my kin

Zacharee1

your kin?

you traitor?

you're no kin of ours

leave this place and never return

Serg

1:46 AM

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

OK . . . leaves for Elementary, develops indicators there

Nathan Osman

Good job guys.

We just lost one of our best users.

ಠ_ಠ

Serg

"best" is arguable , but I'll say pretty OK

Seth

Considering Roland is also a mod on elementary.se..

Serg

He is ?

Zacharee1

hue

desperately trying to find a GTFO ASCII emote

why is my VPN on???

Serg

1:51 AM

Hue, I turned it on

Zacharee1

damn Russian hackerz...

Serg

I'm actually Ukrainian, but I use Russian proxy

Zacharee1

@Serg the plot thickens...

like those letters ^

Serg

oh,do you now?

Zacharee1

wat

Serg

1:56 AM

Didn't you say I like bold letters just now ?

Zacharee1

uh

Nathan Osman

Hue.

Okay.

Fine, I admit it.

@Serg is my sockpuppet :D

Serg

The plot thinnens . . . .or whatever the appropriate word is

Zacharee1

lol

i believe it

@Serg thins

cause, english

Serg

OK, 谢谢

Zacharee1

Kaz Wolfe

@NathanOsman can i run nitroshare on my printer?

Nathan Osman

As funny as it sounds, probably yes if it's running Debian.

Kaz Wolfe

billboard?

Nathan Osman

2:15 AM

Heck, NitroShare runs on RedHat-based distros too.

Kaz Wolfe

And what about my OS/2 install?

Nathan Osman

For example, I could run NitroShare on my external WD hard drive, assuming Qt 5.x is available since the drive runs Debian.

It's a PPC processor, but that shouldn't affect anything.

@KazWolfe Clarification: the platform must support Qt.

What the... trac.netlabs.org/qt4

Kaz Wolfe

i rate nitroshare: 4/10 - not like Doom

Nathan Osman

So you could run an older version of NitroShare on OS/2.

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman say what now

Nathan Osman

2:18 AM

@Zacharee1 I said the drive runs Debian.

Zacharee1

why

Nathan Osman

Verified through SSH by yours truly.

@Zacharee1 It has to run something - it's a network device.

Kaz Wolfe

Can I run nitroshare on my SNES?

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman why not some weird embedded Linux?

Nathan Osman

I think we've come to the point where we shouldn't be asking "Can I..." but rather "Should I...?"

Zacharee1

2:19 AM

@KazWolfe does Nintendo use Linux?

Kaz Wolfe

@Zacharee1 that's what debian is.

Nathan Osman

@Zacharee1 Because WD knows what they are doing.

Zacharee1

@KazWolfe lol

@NathanOsman seems so...

Nathan Osman

Once you get in via SSH, you quickly realize they care about organizing things.

Zacharee1

wow

Nathan Osman

2:20 AM

Instead of a bunch of shell scripts hacked together, there are properly set up init daemons, etc.

what kernel version

Lemme check...

Hey

yeH

I wonder... where can I buy an ATM?

I need one for... reasons.

Nathan Osman

2:21 AM

@Zacharee1 ----v

I tried un-installing tracker-miner and it worked

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman DIRTY COWWWWWW

@KazWolfe uhhhh

Kaz Wolfe

@Zacharee1 + Shampoo = Clean CoW

Zacharee1

huehuehue

Nathan Osman

@Zacharee1 FIREWALLLLLLL.

2:22 AM

@NathanOsman NOOOOO

:P

Dirty CoW has been patched.

Zacharee1

@KazWolfe not in 2.6

Nathan Osman

I'm not about to brick this drive by trying to update the kernel.

Zacharee1

2:22 AM

do it

i daer u

Kaz Wolfe

@Zacharee1 If you install fluffycow, it will be.

@Zacharee1 i swear it's legitimate

Zacharee1

right...

Kaz Wolfe

it is...

i wonder if dirty cow was in the CIA leaks...

Zacharee1

supposedly they were all pretty outdated

Kaz Wolfe

this existed since 2008

Nathan Osman

2:25 AM

Apparently the kernel is provided by the apm-zermatt package.

Zacharee1

wat

Kaz Wolfe

i think my company's servers are still affected by dirty cow.

brb checking

Zacharee1

what's your IP again?

Kaz Wolfe

127.35.117.91

Zacharee1

sigh

Kaz Wolfe

2:28 AM

you can also try 104.16.77.187

Zacharee1

brb installing kali and haxxing

Seth

@KazWolfe lol

u so troll

Kaz Wolfe

@Seth dw my second ip is even bettah

Nathan Osman

Isn't 10.0.0.0/24 also private?

Zacharee1

yehs

Seth

2:31 AM

yeah

Kaz Wolfe

10.0.0.0/8 is private, so everything inside of that has to be

Nathan Osman

Oh right, it's class A.

Well, there you go then.

Seth

@KazWolfe CGN?

Kaz Wolfe

@Seth better

Nathan Osman

I recently had to redo all the DHCP assignments on our local network. Using a VPN from a network with subnet overlap is a real pain.

Of course, there's also IPv6 but I don't have measures in place yet to make remote IPv6 access secure, so it's disabled.

Seth

2:34 AM

@KazWolfe I give up

Kaz Wolfe

┌─[1]─[19:28:41]─[kazwolfe@firewolf]

Seth

hah. nice.

Nathan Osman

@KazWolfe Now you're on fifteen new watchlists.

Seth

Yeah I realized it's outside the CGN space.

Zacharee1

and the no fly list

GCN?

Serg

2:36 AM

Quick question, guys. Any idea why would one host on network take like 30 hops to a site, while others take only 8-9 hops ?

Kaz Wolfe

CGN

Carrier Grade NAT

Nathan Osman

Global Cycling Network?

Kaz Wolfe

@Serg inefficient routing?

Nathan Osman

Graphics Core Next?

Serg

@KazWolfe it's handled by same router. Wouldn't inefficient routing be issue at that point ?

Kaz Wolfe

2:37 AM

Global Copper Network

Zacharee1

christ

Kaz Wolfe

@Serg it could have been a temporary inefficiency outside of the network.

Serg

It's repeated though. Websites keep timing out for this computer only

Kaz Wolfe

@Serg traceroute?

also, imagine if all computers in the world were on a single token ring

Serg

@KazWolfe did that on this chromebook host, my Ubuntu host, and win10 host. Only chromebook takes more than 30

Kaz Wolfe

2:39 AM

@Serg oh, it's a chromebook?

are you sure it's not routing through google's monitoring/health servers?

Serg

How do i check that ?

Kaz Wolfe

idk

i'm just making stuff up

Serg

Also , it was on opendns , but kept dropping. Changed to google's servers, it keeps dropping again

Kaz Wolfe

nothing anomalous in the traceroute?

Serg

define anomalous

Kaz Wolfe

2:41 AM

something appearing in one route that doesnt appear in another, etc.

or the point where the traces diverge

Serg

Well , first 5 entries are about the same. At 6th entry it hangs, mine shows 6th entry as * * * , which is the same, but takes long time. 7th entry on my ubuntu is the cloudflare, then IP of the site. Chromebook, on the other hand, shows no reply for like 30 hops.

pmtu 1480

There appears to be two duplicate entries for the modem AND wifi router

Kaz Wolfe

@Serg that's not always weird.

Serg

The only discrepancy that i see is MTU value. On my Ubuntu it is 1500, on chromebook - 1480

there was setting for port forwarding to localhost:8080

removed it just in case

Seth

4:22 AM

@NathanOsman I'm going to try an experiment and put my email in my profile. I'm wondering how much spam you've gotten with yours in your profile though? By spam I mean actual spam not random emails from users..

(anyone else that has their email public is welcome to answer as well)

I'm curious to see if I actually do get any emails from actual people but I'm not really looking to pickup more spammers, if possible.

Nathan Osman

Oh, I wish I had good news.

But I get upwards of 50-60 junk emails a day.

Granted, SpamAssassin catches the majority of them.

Seth

See, right now my gmail gets more false positives than it does actual spam.

I'd prefer to keep it that way.

Nathan Osman

Oh, Gmail, well that might work even better. Their filters are more advanced apparently.

Seth

That gives me another idea. I'll try making it a little difficult to capture for spam bots (assuming that's even still possible) then after a month or two edit it to the full form and see if the amount of spam I get changes.

I can run two tests at once.

I don't really get a lot of profile views so it'll be interesting to see what happens.

Journeyman Geek

@Seth I tried that. No spam, but a few odd help vampires.

Seth

4:28 AM

@JourneymanGeek I'm fine with the odd help vampire.

Nathan Osman

I've only ever once had someone contact me for help.

At least, without a legitimate reason (support for a program I wrote, etc.).

Journeyman Geek

Oh this guy wanted free forensics ._.

Nathan Osman

Lol.

Seth

I've had my twitter up for a while now but I've only ever gotten 2 messages about AU. One was someone thanking me and the other was someone asking for help. Unfortunately they saw I edited something and assumed me to be the author of the answer.. in a topic I know nothing about :/

@NathanOsman see, that's the best, isn't it?

Journeyman Geek

Unless one is hiring me, what happens in ~~vegas~~ SE stays in SE ~~vegas~~

Seth

4:31 AM

Having people use your software must give you a warm, fuzzy, feeling inside.

Nathan Osman

There ought to be a way to mark a message as spam and have SpamAssassin try to watch for similar messages in the future...

Seth

Well I'm off to bed now. Night guys! Thanks for the input :)

tried to wait until after I left eh?

Reuploaded my gravatar. See if that fixes the scaling issues.
