anonymous2

Yep.

Henry WH Hack v2.0

It my very honor to be the first to get the nice question badge on Devops.SE Meta! :)

Wait is that how you spell it?

@anonymous2^

anonymous2

@HenryWHHackv2.0 Congrats

Henry WH Hack v2.0

Yeah

A: What should the name of our main chatroom be called?

Have a look at Wikipedia's explanation of a Site Reliability Engineer, which starts like so: Site reliability engineer (SRE) is a job description given to software engineers focused on reliability, scalability, and the development of cloud computing infrastructure, known as Site Reliability E...

SRE build walls

do you know who else build walls?

anonymous2

Looks great. ;)

Sorry, not replying fast: I'm multiasking.

Henry WH Hack v2.0

Should I wait before selecting the winning name?

anonymous2

Working on a meta post, reviews on AU, studying biology from MIT, and working on a sermon for church. :)

anonymous2

@HenryWHHackv2.0 Generally, I think that's left to community voting, but I could be mistaken.

Let me just see what happened on IoT exactly.

I remember I suggested the winning name, but I think it was the most upvoted as well.

Q: How should this site's general chat room be named?

Unable to find the general chat room for this new site and thus assuming it does not yet exist: How should our main chat room be named? It is custom to use a clever play of words on the topic of the site.

anonymous2

@HenryWHHackv2.0 Yeah, I'm there.

Henry WH Hack v2.0

And @Ghanima accepted it and applied it to the room.

anonymous2

@HenryWHHackv2.0 Right. He's a mod.

Henry WH Hack v2.0

Wait he? How do you know Ghanima gender?

@anonymous2 I want you to do something for me.

anonymous2

@HenryWHHackv2.0 What's that?

Henry WH Hack v2.0

13:10

Undelete a room.

anonymous2

@HenryWHHackv2.0 Okaaaayyy... Which one?

Henry WH Hack v2.0

@anonymous2 Go here: chat.stackexchange.com/… and look for a room call weapons discussion center. (Then you founded it.)

anonymous2

in Weapons Discussion Center, 24 secs ago, by Stack Exchange

anonymous2 has undeleted this room.

Henry WH Hack v2.0

Yes

Now give my back my RO.

anonymous2

@HenryWHHackv2.0 You still have it.

Henry WH Hack v2.0

13:18

Thank You! :)

anonymous2

@HenryWHHackv2.0 No problem; my pleasure. :)

Henry WH Hack v2.0

You and Aurora0001 can be my side mods.

I know you know you can suspend me from the chat.

anonymous2

@HenryWHHackv2.0 Yes, sir. ᱾᱾᱾🔨 ᱾᱾᱾🔨 ᱾᱾᱾🔨

@HenryWHHackv2.0 Great!

Hi! :)

Aurora0001

Hello

Henry WH Hack v2.0

I have created:

A demo forum again.

this time using AskBot

a SE look alike.

@Aurora0001 Behold my forum:

xx301.askbot.com

demo forum

Oh yes I forgot

How are things?

Aurora0001

@HenryWHHackv2.0 Not bad

Henry WH Hack v2.0

Yes it looks a lot like SE.

Aurora0001

@HenryWHHackv2.0 In typical Q&A style, one question, and it's closed ;)

Henry WH Hack v2.0

16:25

Yeah

I'm going to delete the post.

Since I am an admin on the site.

It's the closes I ever been to a SE moderator.

@Aurora0001 If you sign up you can become user number 3. LOL!

Aurora0001

@HenryWHHackv2.0 Well, if you get high-rep privileges on a site (like a beta site... hint hint) you get moderation powers, of course

Henry WH Hack v2.0

I knew it.

Henry WH Hack v2.0

16:53

@Aurora0001 I need some advice.

Aurora0001

@HenryWHHackv2.0 Hmm, what about?

Henry WH Hack v2.0

Becoming a mod on a SE site. Where should I start?

How should I start?

When should I start?

Aurora0001

Well, it helps to be a big contributor to a site—if you're truly interested in the topic, and you're going to be on that site whether you're a moderator or not, I'd guess that's the sort of person who makes a good moderator.

See, you keep doing it.

What does it mean?^

@Aurora0001 Thanks! :)

Aurora0001

I don't know, and honestly, it's probably best to let it lie now.

No need to dig up old issues

Henry WH Hack v2.0

17:07

I know but the JE is so strange.

Oh yeah

Congrats on being the first with a 100+ post on IOT.SE.

Aurora0001

Oh yeah, I am past that mark now

Henry WH Hack v2.0

Q: How do I protect my home from IoT devices being compromised and being used for DDoS attacks?

I am trying to understand the vulnerability of my home IoT devices. From what I understand, the big DDoS last year was caused by compromised IoT devices with generic or default usernames and passwords. All my IoT devices are behind my firewall (like my thermostats - Honeywell). They connect to ...
