[03:22:08] <chromas> Must not be too sensitive if they don't even have a faraday cage
[03:29:24] <chromas> I don't see the problem though
[03:30:09] <chromas> If they want us to have back doors for cops, then they should have their secrets exposed as well. what are they trying to hide?
[07:10:07] <janrinok> chromas, Fnord666 thank you both for your suggestions. Something for me to try today.
[07:16:29] <janrinok> chromas, regarding your 'what are they trying to hide'. The protection might not only be for information but also for protecting the sources and methods of intelligence collection. For example (pure speculation follows): If they have information from a source within the Ukrainian govt then they will want to protect that source but the information he has provided for this investigation might only be confirmation of something that
[07:16:29] <janrinok> they already know. It is important but the source is too valuable to risk. Every nation in the world does this but there are very specific rules regarding who can enter a SCIF and what devices they can introduce. Furthermore, not everybody has the requisite security clearances to grant them access to specific information. This is simple security commonsense.
[07:17:41] <janrinok> Protection of sources is vital

[12:09:20] <Bytram> ~eds Well, I *was* able to push out one story this morning, but need to be *at* work within the hour, so that's going to have to do it until I get home, unless I can somehow edit a story or two on my break using my cellphone. NB: I *do* have a story in the sub queue that should be able to be pushed out pretty easily.

[19:18:35] <Deucalion> Hi guys - what's the editorial mailing list email addy pls?
[19:19:52] <Deucalion> For reference here and now - if you receive any mail regarding Invoice Payment Declined purporting to be from Linode DO NOT click through any links - consign it to trash unread if possible.
[19:20:58] <Deucalion> Found it on the wiki
[19:25:20] <carny> =submit https://www.reddit.com from the all-closed-source-is-dangerous dept.
[19:25:23] <ClownHatLinux> carny, submit failed: Article root node is null.
[19:25:24] <exec> └─ 13Discord Turned Into an Info-Stealing Backdoor by New Malware : discordapp
[19:25:41] <carny> what does that mean?
[19:26:59] <chromas> it means the bot done goofed
[19:27:10] <carny> oh
[19:27:24] <carny> well people need to know about this malware
[19:27:44] <chromas> is there an article or something?
[19:28:07] <carny> it looks like its designed to dox the victim immediately and can drop additional payloads for even worse damage
[19:28:17] <carny> yeah tons
[19:28:32] <carny> just google 2019 discord malware
[19:28:53] <chromas> Try submitting one of those
[19:29:02] <carny> there was one in 2016 but that's different
[19:29:36] <carny> can i submit multiple urls at once?
[19:29:55] <chromas> you can. they'll go to the same sub
[19:30:17] <chromas> Ah, I thought people were claiming that discord itself was malware, but it's just random shit dumbasses are installing
[19:31:06] <carny> but it looks like it comes in through some kind of message input vector
[19:32:50] <chromas> No surprise. Web browsers do the one thing you're explicitly told to not do—execute random, unverified code from the internet
[19:44:33] * Deucalion looks over chromas shoulder.... hmm... not sure telnet somesite.com:80 GET is still applicable these days is it?
[19:46:21] <chromas> yes, but you'll just get a 301 redirecting you to port 443

[19:47:06] <chromas> Probably works better if you put the working link first. Or start the reddit link with a +
[19:47:25] <chromas> The + makes it a see-also link instead of trying to quote it
[19:48:46] <Deucalion> chromas, surely you can hand type a TLS negotiation by now? :D
[19:55:40] chromas is now known as NCommander

[20:05:48] <carny> so +https ...
[20:08:09] <chromas> yeah =submit +https://reddit blah blah https://bleeping
[20:08:29] <chromas> order doesn't matter for + links
[20:10:12] <chromas> or you could use another bot, but I dunno if they take multiple lanks
