IoT.SE Meta: Where we still hate fun!

Videonauth

well i didnt even see the post at all

Henry WH Hack v2.0

I saw it.

Aurora0001

I can still see it since I have the 1k privilege

Henry WH Hack v2.0

@anonymous2 I knew something about your post was off topic. ;)

Please note that with the anticipated slowdown in traffic during the end-of-year holidays, we will not be evaluating this site for public launch until after the new year. — Robert Cartaino ♦ Dec 20 at 18:50

Thank You Robert! :)

@Videonauth How are Things?

Videonauth

actually trying to wake up

Henry WH Hack v2.0

11:18

Ok

I am running Ubuntu and Kali Linux in VMware.

@anonymous2 Hi! :)

anonymous2

@HenryWHHackv2.0 Yes. To be honest, I posted it very quickly, and was actually planning on ending it, "How can we promote Iot.SE during the holidays?"

@HenryWHHackv2.0 Hi!

Henry WH Hack v2.0

@anonymous2 I need some a vise (advise).

anonymous2

@HenryWHHackv2.0 Oh?

Henry WH Hack v2.0

@anonymous2 I want to nominate myself as a moderator for this site but I don't want to look silly.

help

Aurora0001

I wasn't the one you asked, but I say go for it!

Henry WH Hack v2.0

19:32

anonymous2

@HenryWHHackv2.0 I would say go for it too.

If you aren't afraid of not making it, nominate.

Aurora0001

Also, in terms of participation, you can always start asking questions now, which I think will look good for you (and help us all!)

anonymous2

@Aurora0001 I agree.

Aurora0001

As well as that it's a good backup plan in case you need the rep to keep your privileges

anonymous2

@Aurora0001 ...and it helps the site!

Aurora0001

19:34

@anonymous2 so everyone wins!

anonymous2

@Aurora0001 Especially you Helmar and Ghanima. ;)

Aurora0001

You're only 1 point away from being tied with me :P

in the nominations

anyway, it's not a popularity contest

anonymous2

@Aurora0001 I don't think I made a good impression on Robert Cartaino with that meta post.

Aurora0001

Well, everyone has a few Stack Exchange faux pas actions

Henry WH Hack v2.0

What do you guys think about about my (In Completed)post is it good or bad?

Aurora0001

19:36

Looks fine, though I think you typoed 'pro tem'

Henry WH Hack v2.0

fixed

anonymous2

@HenryWHHackv2.0 Looks excellent.

Henry WH Hack v2.0

What to but next?

Aurora0001

You can talk about anything really

Review queue activity?

Henry WH Hack v2.0

no

Is my activity on the other SE sites valid?

anonymous2

19:40

@HenryWHHackv2.0 You can put it in; it helps people know what your abilities are. Just don't devote too much of your nomination to that. At least, IMHO. :)

Aurora0001

@anonymous2 I agree. In order of priority, you could talk about: activity/contributions to IoT.SE, activity on SE in general, qualities you think you have

Actions here speak the loudest I think

Henry WH Hack v2.0

But I have no actions here. :( Yet

Aurora0001

You can change that today if you like - even voting is great

As mentioned here: stackoverflow.blog/2010/10/vote-early-vote-often

Every vote you give, up or down, shapes the site

anonymous2

@Aurora0001 ...which is why we should definitely use votes... carefully.

Henry WH Hack v2.0

I will close this disscussion with a mod's opinion.

@Ghanima what do you think about me running for MOD is it a good or bad thing?

When he or she comes to the room I will get the answer to moderation and everything.

anonymous2

19:50

@HenryWHHackv2.0 He.

@HenryWHHackv2.0 Everything... that's a tall order. If that's what's expected of mods, maybe I should withdraw my nomination. ;)

Henry WH Hack v2.0

It's a joke based on that 42 thing you know. ;)

the meaning of life the universe and everything or so.

Aurora0001

I doubt Ghanima will be back today

Henry WH Hack v2.0

Introducing Amazon Echo

Aurora0001

Seems strange that comments and likes are disabled

:P

Henry WH Hack v2.0

Yeah

Can I become a "cough" RO?

Notice the "cough" part.

Aurora0001

I shall leave that decision to Ghanima, who is a chat mod

Henry WH Hack v2.0

Ah I already asked:

Dec 6 at 22:18, by Henry WH Hack v2.0

Can you make me a room owner? Please.

Aurora0001

20:15

What do other ~~sites~~ chats do in terms of room owners?

Other SE chats I mean

Henry WH Hack v2.0

What do you mean by terms?

Aurora0001

I just mean do they tend to have 1 or many owners?

I think we should probably just wait until the pro tems are chosen and give them room ownership

That seems fairest to me

Henry WH Hack v2.0

Yes

all of the AUGCR ROs are mods: chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/info/201/…

strange.

but fair.

Aurora0001

That seems to be the general policy

Ghanima

20:34

@Aurora0001 I tend to agree

Henry WH Hack v2.0

Here is our mod!^

Ghanima

we have two RO's right now who are fairly active and benevolent, what else could we ask for

@HenryWHHackv2.0 that is really not me to decide ;) now it's up to SE staff (pro tems) and later on it will be up to community (elected mods) I will be as impartial as possible

Henry WH Hack v2.0

(Case Closed)

Aurora0001

@HenryWHHackv2.0 if you haven't read this, you can get a list of what the SE team are looking for in a pro tem mod:

Moderator Pro Tempore

Robert Cartaino on July 27, 2010

There's a bit of a leadership vacuum inside the new Stack Exchange communities in public beta. We've put a lot of responsibility on each group to take ownership of their own site. The Stack Exchange team can act as guide, but we don't always have the domain knowledge to understand the needs of each group. As the Network expands, this stretches our ability to assure that each community's issues are properly addressed.

Henry WH Hack v2.0

I read it a long time ago.

Aurora0001

20:43

Also, here's an interesting fact: if all the users listed at Area 51 posted 1 question a week, we would have 5.4 questions per day

Which would be amazingly good for this early in the beta

Henry WH Hack v2.0

Tip: Don't be scared to post on the site even if you are nervous.

Q: What is the difference between the Internet of Things and and the Internet of Everything?

Just giving the site a try. As the title said: (What is the difference between the Internet of Things and and the Internet of Everything and should I care?) I came cross two concepts the Internet of Things and the Internet of Everything. Can anyone help me understand: How does the two topics di...

ioe

Yeah

That You! :)

Aurora0001

Since it's a definition question, you might want to relate it more to what one specific group define it as, e.g. "Why do Cisco define IoE as _____"

Otherwise it could be opinion based

Henry WH Hack v2.0

Let's say we do no need any reference about Internet of Things but could you add some reference about Internet of Everything please. Some examples about that concept. — Bence Kaulics 1 min ago

Oh No!

Aurora0001

I think he's just asking for a bit of clarification about what you mean by "Internet of Everything"

Henry WH Hack v2.0

like what?

Aurora0001

21:03

I don't know, it's just some people (like me) have no idea what it is at all, so it might be helpful to talk about what you know so far

Just helps people to find what you're asking about more easily when googling

Henry WH Hack v2.0

oh

I'm nervous.

Aurora0001

Don't worry, I was with my first question

And second

And third

It's a bit better now I've done 24 questions though ;)

Henry WH Hack v2.0

Tip: Don't be scared to post on the site even if you are nervous.

Bence Kaulics

@HenryWHHackv2.0 No worries. Just add a link, where did you come across with IoE. So people who has no idea (me actually) will have something to start with.

Henry WH Hack v2.0

This:

Introduction to the Internet of Everything

and this:

Bence Kaulics

21:13

The question itself is promising if there are a concept then we should know difference for the sake of site topic.

Henry WH Hack v2.0

@BenceKaulics Is that video good it's where I first heard of IOE?

Bence Kaulics

Good for me. But are there any article, I am not sure if everyone will take the time to watch a 20 mins video.

Henry WH Hack v2.0

Ah

Aurora0001

@HenryWHHackv2.0 I've tried to answer based on what I could find - hope it's useful

Haven't looked at the video though

Someone else can answer based on that if they like

Aurora0001

21:39

@HenryWHHackv2.0 looks like your question was well-liked after all!

Henry WH Hack v2.0

yep! :)

Bence Kaulics

Video is based on a Cisco Live conference, if the guy sums it up exactly. Then there are some detail which can be highlighted as difference.

Though some official paper could be good from Cisco to prove his words.

Henry WH Hack v2.0

I used concept wrong in my post.

I think.

Bence Kaulics

@Aurora0001 Seems you have taken the lead massively before Helmar.

Henry WH Hack v2.0

@Aurora0001 Did I used the word concept wrong in my post?

Bence Kaulics

21:50

Why do you think it is used wrong?

Q: Does the Google Home record conversations to target advertisements?

Google states that the Google Assistant (the personal assistant that runs on the Google Home, Pixel and the Allo app) uses 'conversation history' for targeted advertising: Does Google use my conversation history to personalize the ads I see? If you interact with the Google Assistant, we ...

that's a little scary

Bence Kaulics

A little?

Ghanima

yea, a little

Henry WH Hack v2.0

@Ghanima I knew I saw you somewhere before.

Ghanima

so you're the stalker?

Henry WH Hack v2.0

21:57

No

Ghanima

good, closes the curtains

IOT and the NSA?

Will IOT create a backdoor into our security and private lives?

Is IOT the ultimate tool to destory Security and Privacy?

Q: How can I check if my IoT devices are infected with the Mirai worm?

I've recently heard about the Mirai worm, which infects vulnerable routers, IoT devices and other internet-connected appliances with insecure passwords. Mirai is suspected of being the cause of some of the largest DDoS attacks in history: Dyn estimated that the attack had involved “100,000 ma...
