@OKAY,PANIC. blank stare

Is that something bad

...And again the flag troll.

Meh

@GnomeSlice cloudflare provide dns and proxy services to combat DDOS attacks

Is that good

7:03 PM

and also a little bit of CDN.

so this should make SE more resiliant to such things

@TZHX Bit of an overreaction to their self-inflicted DDOS.

Meh

@GnomeSlice look at it this way, they can put up stackegg without breaking everything again

I wasn't really around for that

Mad Scientist

@JasonBerkan They've been experimenting with CloudFlare for far longer than the Stack Egg thing ;-)

7:05 PM

Seemed fine when I was messing with it

was fun times

cloudflare is a pretty good service.

more people hate code golf and anime now.

@GnomeSlice StackOverflow was inaccessible that morning for me.

@GnomeSlice stackegg ddosed SO

7:06 PM

What? How?

Hahaha

@MadScientist Do you know if mods can see who flagged what? Or did SE close that hole?

(I imagine it's even better if the dev/operations team know it's going to be put on the site as opposed to the MD just signing up for it and telling noone)

@GnomeSlice too many concurrent requests + too long keepalive, iirc

@Unionhawk :(

Mad Scientist

@Frank in chat?

7:06 PM

@GnomeSlice tl;dr - Every SO page request resulted in an open connection to the server, which quickly ran out of connections.

@MadScientist Yes

Was it just buggy coding then?

And again, flag troll.

Or did somebody DDOS it on purpose

Mad Scientist

I think the home mods are supposed to be able to see stuff, I can't

7:07 PM

ur a flag troll

I have come to believe it's someone targetting me specifically.

@Frank I like how you just assume every flag against you is somebody 'trolling'.

@GnomeSlice more like unexpected emergent property with the config

@Unionhawk Nice one. Sure showed me!

@MattGiltaji Explain it like I'm five.

7:07 PM

@GnomeSlice "buggy coding" is one way of saying it, bit harsh. unanticipated consequences. :)

Aha.

it generated far more requests than they expected it to

I remember hearing about some people doing mean things with stackegg, but I missed that too.

@murgatroid99 I feel so vindicated now.

Wasn't sure if that was the same thing.

7:08 PM

and so their server just couldn't cope.

@GnomeSlice that was a different thing

@GnomeSlice balpha.de/2015/04/the-making-of-stackegg

Specifically, the "Self-inflicted DDoS" section.

"you can only counterflag messages that have been flagged" -- well, ok, system. that makes sense.

@TZHX gg

I think that means the flag was already cleared though.

yeh

just it's a poor error message.

7:09 PM

lmao

@GnomeSlice Over 20000 exceptions in 5 minutes. I would hate to be in charge of that.

Ate lunch (bowl of noodles and a drumstick). Am still hungry. Please advise.

well, if they're all caught it's no problem. :)

@TZHX Still, imagine the OCD

@Yuuki EAT BOWL

@OrigamiRobot You cannot eat that.

idjit

Apparently, there is a Get ye flask shirt

NO THE WIKI IS LIE

Oh well

Wait, no, I'm just stupid, it's discontinued on the wiki

And I scrolled too far up and only saw "Available shirts" above it

fredley

@Sterno No idea, so annoying

7:19 PM

@MadScientist iirc if you're A) A mod and B) A room owner where the flag took place, you can see who the flagger is so long as the flag is active.

Redditor opens an E-sports bar and gaming lounge

@Wipqozn I thought it required some digging data magic

or something really stupid like that

@Unionhawk Oh you do need to go digging to find it

You could probably script it, in fact, someone has, I am sure

Vastu sastras incorporate traditional Hindu and in some cases Buddhist beliefs.

You guys aren't very helpful.

@OrigamiRobot Probably not.

I do need to start getting back to playing that every saturday, though.

@OrigamiRobot Maybe.

@Wipqozn You came to the wrong place for help.

@Frank Yes

@Wipqozn Poutine. Sheesh.

@Wipqozn You need to play Rebecca Black songs?

@JasonBerkan No see, this is helpful.

@Frank not sure if starbait

@GodEmperorDune Wasn't going for it.

7:54 PM

@Wipqozn Rings

@Wipqozn wings

@GodEmperorDune I see what you did there, and I both respect and hate you for it.

user15026

@Wipqozn Poutine made with onion rings with chicken wings as a side.

@JasonBerkan makes a good point, though. I am Canadian, so therefore Poutine is the logical choice.

At least I'm pretty sure that's what he meant by "sheesh".

@Wipqozn i've been taking notes on how to attempt to be the worst

7:56 PM

@GodEmperorDune You've learned well.

synthwave taking over bandcamp

@Wipqozn Pretty much. If poutine is available, it is the obvious choice.

HamStare @Wipqozn

I think I'd rather have wings...

BUUUUUUUUUUT

It's been a while since I've had poutine, but I had wings a week ago I think

or two weeks

point is, it's been a while since I had poutine.

So I should do that.

7:59 PM

So anyway, since I got the super sekrit ending in The Talos Principle, I've heard that I may appear as one of the messengers for people on my friends list who play after me.

I saw the poutine food truck last week. It was a sign of spring.

I got all 3 endings since the game doesn't stop you from going back and getting the non-bad endings.

@OrigamiRobot depending on the times. probably

@JasonBerkan I like how, in Canada, the poutine truck is the sign of spring and not grass

Because we all know we won't be seeing grass for another month.

@Wipqozn I saw grass last week. Then we got 6" of snow yesterday. My kids built some awesome snowmen, though.

SNOW? IT'S APRIL?

It's Canada

@Lazers Oh, that's ugly. You don't want to do that.

IF THERE WAS SNOW IN APRIL HERE, THERE'D BE RIOTING AND WHISPERS OF THE END TIMES

@Unionhawk I KNOW, I'M REMARKING ON THE DIFFERENCE IN CLIMATE

8:02 PM

@JasonBerkan We got about the same Monday night through Tuesday morning.

@Lazers ohgodwhy

@OrigamiRobot There's whispers of the end times whenever you get snow, so how is snow in April any different?

@OrigamiRobot This snow is more like what the rest of y'all get. It was above zero by the evening and it will all be melted away by the end of today.

@Unionhawk I'm not sure he realizes just how many command blocks that would take.

AND THEN REFREEZE TONIGHT?

THAT'S A TRADEMARK NC SNOW

8:04 PM

@OrigamiRobot Yes. It will be another few weeks before it stays above freezing over night.

Yesterday my bus started sliding sideways when the driver stopped at a red light. It was fun.

CANADIANS ARE CRAZY

@OrigamiRobot Crazy awesome?

Seregios Dual Blades are kinda c--p though. Burn through sharpness too quickly to take advantage of the unique effect.

ok, seriously? you're self censoring "crap"?

@Lazers rofl golf videos?

@OrigamiRobot Watch your language!

Instead of self-censoring, how about just not saying those words? All your doing by self-censoring is drawing more attention to it.

Mecarobot Golf

Mecarobot Golf is an arcade-style golf video game released for the Super NES. The game was originally released in Japan as Serizawa Nobuo no Birdie Try (芹沢信雄のバーディトライ, "Nobuo Serizawa's Birdy Try"). The general theme of Mecarobot Golf is a near-futuristic golf course where humanoid robots are considered to be second-class citizens. A robot named Eagle is blocked from participating in the world's professional golfing tournaments due to discrimination. Eagle has the ability to play golf better than a human being but is denied the chance to do so. A benefactor purchases Eagle and builds a golf course...

@badp what is beamer?

10:16 PM

@GodEmperorDune It's as pictured. It's kind of like powerpoint as in you use it to produce slides to go with your talk. Except you completely delegate the graphics to it.

That lets you focus 100% on what you're writing.

It also produces PDF files, so your presentations are guaranteed to show up correctly no matter what sort of potato you're using to beam them with.

@badp so like a powerpoint with template slides?

Days since I have heard a frozen song: 0

@GodEmperorDune basically.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Sterno Yes, you can disable auto-attack altogether in the game options; turn on auto-pause for target destroyed, and remember to reassign all of your party members when that happens, and you're g2g.

let it go, @Unionhawk

10:19 PM

It just makes it easier to focus on your slides and hard to do inappropriate things with them.

@badp i hope those are not beamer examples

@GodEmperorDune They are not. Those are example of inappropriate things.

Of course if you try hard enough you can force Beamer into producing them.

There was that slide with the bullet points and the bunny and the hotdogs.

I can't find it anymore. :(

This will do though.
