3:02 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz this reads like my direct supervisor is allowed to harras me
 
@kalina WTF?
 
@BenBrocka it was said jokingly, I still wasn't impressed
 
@badp Difficulty is exclusively determined by the mission's level relative to yours
Fighting Terramorphus becomes "Normal" at level 50
@badp I like how her clothes texture looks like it was drawn on with crayons at that graphics setting
 
I once rolled my suit trousers up in an office
because it was too hot.
I comaplined that the women could wear linen trousers, or skirts
 
3:06 PM
@kalina No, but being harassed by your direct supervisor is a different kind of harassment.
 
was told I was just being silly.
If I was still there, i'd have gone in, in a skirt. just to prove the point.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz harassment is harassment
 
Excema on the back of my knees, so it was agony.
 
eye twitch combo ×2
 
you know how much I love bitching and whining.
don't you, @badp
 
3:07 PM
@kalina Well yes. But the law treats them slightly differently, insofar as harassment by direct supervisors has been illegal for far longer than harassment by people who aren't your boss.
 
@djsmiley2k Kilt it up
 
(There are also slight differences in, for instance, your employers liability for the actions of your coworkers vs. their liability for the actions of your boss, though this varies wildly by jurisdiction.)
 
Aren't kilts normally wool?
 
14%
 
3:08 PM
Your boss has more responsibility for those directly below them too?~
 
@djsmiley2k I think so. Probably different sorts of materials though
 
@BenBrocka still don't think that' would of had the desired effect ;)
 
@kalina Sue, take the money, run, etc.
 
@fredley I don't think one supposedly "joking" comment would net much money
 
well that was clever, just locked me out of mysql ¬_¬
 
3:10 PM
@kalina Worth a shot
Just keep a diary of every comment over the course of a few months
 
@kalina No, but document document document, so that when future incidents occur, you can point to a 'pattern of behavior'.
 
@fredley Than blackmail.
 
chat.se is my log
 
@kalina Poor you
 
3:11 PM
I religiously complain about everything that happens here
 
oh really?
 
Have you tried talking to the offender in person? He might not be deliberately malicious
 
:P
 
therefore the internet has everything negative in my existence logged with dates and times
@badp no, I never complain about anything. Not once. Ever.
@CruelCow I have already assumed he wasn't being
 
oh okay.
 
3:12 PM
@kalina Yeah, you're like the least complainy person here.
 
/me ponders how old @kalina is
 
@badp except you, I like complaining about you
 
@djsmiley2k It's in the chat log somewhere
 
because we have a constant misunderstanding of each other
 
scary.
 
3:13 PM
Most of our ages are public
 
also, kalina, you seem less angry now
fredley, well I'm 29 for whatever it's worth,.
 
@djsmiley2k nobody celebrated my birthday
 
@kalina And me, when I hit my "Close everything!" mood.
 
in fact, I was actively told it wasn't important
 
@kalina oh yes I rmemeber its near mine
 
3:13 PM
Complaining about badp is part of Bridge culture.
 
6th feb?
 
@kalina that's wrong
 
no, my birthday is on a date that is far more important to the western world's economy than the 6th of feb
 
Feb 14 at 10:41, by fredley
@kalina Happy Birthday!
 
thanks @fredley just give it away
this is why I can't have nice things
 
3:14 PM
@kalina :(
 
Going by your co-workers comments.... you already have nice things.
 
every time I try and withhold information somebody jumps in and gives my game away
 
@kalina Will it make it up to you if I post that card again?
 
@djsmiley2k hey, this is harassment
 
@kalina You are 'withholding' publicly available data!
 
3:15 PM
now, wtf did I accidently set the password to on this mysql.
 
@djsmiley2k root/root
 
@kalina Sorry, couldn't resist.
fredley, i wish :<
 
@fredley obscurity
 
@djsmiley2k Still harrassment
 
is it illegal though?
 
3:16 PM
@kalina Security by obscurity == !security
 
@kalina two weeks late, but grats on not being a teenager anymore.
 
without making any attempt to stop me...
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz <3
 
Hey, how come I never get a heart!?>
 
@djsmiley2k were you not born with your own heart?
 
3:16 PM
@djsmiley2k Because you harras people?
 
Hmmm yes, but my stomach tried to consume it.
@fredley i'm naturally evil, I can't help it :(
 
@kalina For a mere 9 months out of every decade, we have the same digit at the front of our ages. So, 9 months from now, you may resume making me feel old at every opportunity.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz as somebody who is 9 years older than me, you're still old
and whichever way you look at it
 
Dang, I'm old :(
 
@kalina :(
 
3:18 PM
@LessPop_MoreFizz simply has a higher high score
 
I will always be young in comparison
 
old people need hearts too!!
 
but out of all of the old people in here, you are my favourite @LessPop_MoreFizz
 
@djsmiley2k Nah; I'm the same age.
 
@fbueckert you are 29?
are you serious?
 
3:19 PM
@kalina Well shucks.
 
@kalina Yes
 
I didn't think you were that old
 
@kalina I've made it known several times.
 
/me waits until @kalina realises she's hanging with the fogies.
 
3:19 PM
You've acknowledged it at least once, too.
 
@kalina I'm sorry
 
@kalina You two are ok by the (age / 2) + 7 rule
 
@fbueckert you know me and my short term memory, you should be grateful I remember who you are on a day to day basis!
but 29? really?
wow
 
@djsmiley2k mysql has passwords now. Interesting
2
 
why can't I find mysqld
:<<<<
 
3:21 PM
I think @kalina's mind can't grasp that concept.
 
@djsmiley2k grep -r mysqld .
 
oh, you already do have runner2, Mana
 
@fbueckert no I would have said you were mid 20s
 
@fredley whereis mysqld
 
@kalina When he's 30, then it will be creepy
That's a different decade altogether
 
3:21 PM
@fredley It's already creepy.
 
yes but now that I've found out that most of the bridge is 29
 
@djsmiley2k find / | grep mysqld
 
I can't really make comments about people being 30
 
ps aux | grep mysqld?
 
fredley, I've stopped it
 
3:22 PM
which mysqld
 
Need to start it with --skip-grant-tables and reset.... again ¬_¬
 
@djsmiley2k slocate mysqld|rm -rf /
 
@kalina I dunno about most of the bridge. But there's certainly a pronounced concentration of individuals at that specific age.
 
Actually I have no idea what which is meant to be used for
 
no mysqld in (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin)
@kalina Oh how nice you are.
 
3:23 PM
@kalina It's ok to abuse people for making the mistake of being old
 
@BoltClock gives you the path of the command that would run if you issued its argument
 
@djsmiley2k I have a history of making people destroy their PCs during my IRC days
my favourite method was in the late 90s
 
@BoltClock which is useful if you're messing with virtualenv
 
@kalina we are like kindred spiriots
 
when the "Messenger service" was still enabled by default and NAT wasn't as widespread
 
3:23 PM
/exec deltree c\:\
 
I would set my PC name to Microsoft and then net send people on IRC messages about how I knew who they were and the software piracy agency were on their way
 
for example, which echo will let you know why echo isn't using your super awesome fork of echo
 
@djsmiley2k sudo rm -rf /
 
@fredley must try harder....
 
@kalina Time to shred hard drive
 
3:24 PM
@fredley I think it was something like 1 in 10 people would format
 
@djsmiley2k :(){ :|:& };:
 
the number of people who literally cried once they found out
I guess I've always been partially evil
 
@kalina Trolocaust
 
find -name /test -type f -print1| xargs "perl split ({})" | xargs rm -rf {} or something....
 
@kalina and to think we've been on the same IRC network for years.
 
3:25 PM
more modern ones is sending SQL scripts to support people
 
@kalina by your comments I presume your IRC no more? :D
 
@kalina That's quite frankly brilliant.
 
@kalina I absolutely hated that service.
 
that contained sql to list all databases and them drop them
but didn't contain the words "drop database" anywhere in the script
 
It was the first thing I turned off when I reinstalled an OS.
 
3:26 PM
support people shoudln't have grant/drop
 
@djsmiley2k their own sql instances with their own test databases
 
Huh. Suns coming out. Maybe I can get some work done after all.
Later bridge.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz o/
 
@kalina ah, then its their own stupid fault.
 
@djsmiley2k not really, part of my job is to provide sql scripts to fix stuff
 
3:27 PM
exec="/usr/bin/mysqld_safe"
prog="mysqld"
;;;;; SIGH
 

 The Comms Room

ServerFault's lobby
This is *NOT* a place for 'Live Support', ask on the main site. // If you type in your password it will show as stars!
that works too ^^
 
heh
 
I sent "Mooooooooooooooo goes the cow" to all the devs in my old company
accidently when I was playing with batch scripts
 
@tombull89 Yeah, my password is *******
 
no one else had netsend turned on but them ¬_¬
 
3:28 PM
@fredley uses edit button
 
@fredley only a seven character password?
 
fredley, oh wow, mine too.
 
Mine is ******************
 
@kalina Yeah, obviously
It doesn't work in plaintext quotes though: hunter2
 
@kalina That cuts down the search space by quite a lot, thank you
 
3:29 PM
my my, what a long one.
 
my favourite password is 'secret'
 
restarts his password cracking job
 
@badp All passwords are probably hunter2
 
lol
 
There's a certain string you can Google for, and it gets you a load of HP printers that are directly exposed to the internet.
 
3:29 PM
@badp @badp, master hacker.
 
oh, HP ones.
 
my password is obviously !<uR5eUB10w4r£!
 
fee3Zoh4 one of my spare passwords for you all
 
@kalina Needs more NPCs
 
3:30 PM
in The Comms Room, Mar 2 '12 at 21:49, by tombull89
No way would anyone make their printers directly accessible via the internet. Oh, no no..wait, what?!
 
hmmm bash.org
 
@fredley LOLOLOL
 
there has to be some of me on there somewhere assuming they don't delete old stuff
 
@kalina I would've rather guessed "I LOVE TARANTULAS."
 
My password is @badp 15 8@D @7 \/1D30g@/\/\35
 
3:31 PM
Fuck passwords, my public key:
ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQC1Oy26KJZVIo3lEYy+J0+Z/3r0/pI3FNB0M5oi3JVUzZZ/m8MG‌​kYMRGwbgDk9Q168QAb6peBbRWVJvvaPwAvSW9FAW1gOCx10uT1eOyE7ABPaEdjm6LOZ7XIWyVMxwxF2Nm‌​qAIQr3J+8BLayv1WmIqiGjx2Sq7Ri7qY5+OAoE9LIUApLaoNKk2ypusL5JAP73CrgSgcnPBWZ+GMZPKag‌​jkf8Zzdkp/4d9DGtN4ArNd1otXk7b0+TxfFPNblulZAguMEmlw6hamJVznq1zhgbcADLepXFktH7YbzVe‌​YkahPaCZbZAF1taomDsZuirSfSjY5qnClUen3EY4PsAI/iUhv tom@tom-mbp
 
My password is "12345".
 
That would actually make a pretty good password
 
lol fredley
 
@BenBrocka mainly because it's a passphrase rather than a password
 
There's functionally little difference. It's not like "password" limits you to a single word
 
3:34 PM
now mysql won't die :¬_¬_¬¬_¬_;
@BenBrocka++
 
@djsmiley2k Is something keeping the process alive?
@djsmiley2k sudo /etc/init.d/mysqld stop

yey all gone
 
@badp I don't love them at all
spiders freak me out
 
@kalina That's why it would've been a good password!
 
@djsmiley2k All depends on the site of course
 
3:40 PM
@badp it contains dictionary words, l2security
 
@badp My password is 1000 spiders. Not the words, the spiders
 
also, if you did admit your secret, deep love for tarantulas, it would've been ruined forever
@kalina it also contains spaces. SPACES MAKE EVERYTHING SUPER SECURE

Q: How to start the Morgan's Spiral quest chain?

Nathan SabrukaThere is a jump puzzle in Morgan's spiral, but it can only be activated while the tower is "in bloom". However, many risen party poopers seem to have for sole purpose the destruction of the tower, making the puzzle impossible to complete (in fact, impossible to start). There is a series of events...

3:43 PM
@badp oh well
 
@badp ...and other things would be?
 
and before any of you try, I retired that password years ago and now use something much longer
 
zxcvbn is pretty good at being overly conservative
 
@BenBrocka perhaps
 
Hmmm. Perhaps I should try using Chinese passwords. It might be difficult to enter them in some places though
 
3:44 PM
the main issue is the lack of "i"
@YiJiang'sEvilClone that's what makes password with spaces kinda secure: it's literally impossible to use them everywhere
 
The good thing about 1337 is that there's often no canonical way to change a certain letter. H might be |-| or just H, so it's not as easy as just saying "okay now check for 1337 of all dictionary words"
 
@BenBrocka it makes it hard to bust a password as a 1337-ified word and automatically assess that password's security for the façade it is
 
@badp hate when shit blocks spaces in passwords. They're basically free entropy in passphrases (even if it's not much depending on how it's used, it's free)
 
@BenBrocka I just use password, nobody will ever think I'm stupid enough to use that.
 
but it's just yet another substitution rule in software that does try 1337-ified words
 
3:46 PM
I use password1 just in case they DO think I'm stupid enough to use password
 
i use my name, I'll never forget that.
 
@BenBrocka For really secure stuff, I trick them by using no password at all.
Look at them, trying to guess a password that doesn't exist!
 
Also I can't help but feel that @YiJiang'sEvilClone's plan to rely on unicode for password is most likely doomed
 
Honestly a dictionary of the top 100 most common passwords & rejecting all passwords in the list would probably be much better for actual security than most password rules
 
@badp It's fine, just make sure you've got a webpage that will display the password so that if you're on a computer with an odd keyboard you can just copy/paste it in.
 
3:48 PM
@BenBrocka "tarantulas" isn't in that list. It's also a pretty terrible password
 
Yeah, but it's far supperior to Password1
I wish zxcvbn had a usable password meter script. It seems not too, which was surprising
 
@BenBrocka I know Gmail and Hotmail rejects common passwords, names of people and states and a few other commonly used passwords
 
@BenBrocka uh...
 
That or there's something I'm not seeing in the offical github
 
> score from 0 to 4: 0
 
3:49 PM
In addition to the usual password-o-meter
 
When I need to use an unsecure password that I can communicate to others
I just use secret
because then when people ask me "what is your password"
I can say "it is secret"
 
@badp I've seen that, but I was too lazy to build my own meter just to play with it
 
and confuse the hell out of them
 
@BenBrocka just throw that value in a progressbar element or whatever it's called
 
And I don't want to actually implement it yet, it's probably a bit harsh for what I'd be using it for
@badp True. The site I was hoping to use it on doesn't use jquery UI so I wasn't even thinking of that
I just hoped I could just slap it on the page and mess with it
 
3:52 PM
of course it won't work on anything but the latest and greatest
 
This site literally doesn't use jquery of any kind yet
 
I conclude that I never left a footprint on QDB
 
I didn't really want to add it + jQuery UI just to test something. Plus the script itself is pretty brutal on load times for a very simple form
 
@BenBrocka so it's not perfect and it doesn't do all the things?
 
@kalina What? would be good for that
 
3:54 PM
It is, the site's just not actually using any JS yet (I think)
It's pretty bare bones
 
@fredley true
 
What's your password?
Yes. What?
What?
Yes.
etc.
 
Now I wonder if R:TW II will actually feature live action cutscenes
 
the password to my work PC is always the name of the product we make in leetspeak
 
@fredley Who's on first?
 
3:55 PM
@BenBrocka What?
 
"the name of the product we make in leetspeak" would be a pretty good password too
@fredley What's on third
 
@BenBrocka cba typing out all of that
when people watch me typing in my password I always hit backspace every other character
since they're too busy looking at the letters
 
@kalina I hope the deleted characters spell out F-U-C-K-Y-O-U
 
@fredley I'm not that good
if I actively tried to spell something out with the deleted characters, I'd get my password wrong
 
@kalina I think you should just glare at the person trying to shoulder surf until they back off
 
3:59 PM
I save my glaring until somebody has annoyed me
 
There are people you aren't annoyed at?
 
I don't think that comment is fair
