[12:41:25] <FatPhil> you're not liable for any of that, card companies will often fail to tell you that.

[12:57:12] <cmn32480> seems suspiciously high
[12:57:37] <Bytram> no kidding! at least 80-90% are spammy
[12:58:38] <cmn32480> that stinks. Are people using the API to create accounts, or are they just creating them manually/
[12:58:52] <cmn32480> "I don't know" is also an acceptable answer

[13:02:31] <cmn32480> they all look totally legit...
[13:03:06] <Bytram> no missing ASCII lookalike chars, either. :P
[13:04:20] <Bytram> those are just nicks having 4 or more words in 'em
[13:04:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> don't think the api has the ability to create accounts
[13:05:28] <Bytram> not *natively*, but if I wanted to start a business with ready-made nicks on our site... would be easy enough to do.
[13:06:07] * cmn32480 finds himself amazed at the stupidity of people every day.
[13:06:15] <cmn32480> what point would that serve?
[13:06:59] <Bytram> just a simple math question with random, text-based challenge would prolly block most of those
[13:07:14] <Bytram> two + [ ] = six
[13:07:27] <cmn32480> might be an idea for implementation
[13:07:33] <Bytram> [ ] minus seven = 3
[13:07:47] <cmn32480> NC can implement it in 5 or 6000 lines of code
[13:07:59] <Bytram> eight / 4 = [ ]

[13:08:56] <cmn32480> it'd match my butt?
[13:09:20] <cmn32480> I mean... it has a colon
[13:09:31] <cmn32480> that'd be sphincteriffic
[13:09:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> bots don't have butts, so effective
[13:09:43] <Bytram> if you can't do the math, then the new account screen would just up and fail with a message. Invalid response. Please try again.
[13:09:50] <Bytram> butt out?
[13:09:58] * cmn32480 giggles
[13:11:34] <Bytram> ISTR that there are certain rules/laws that go into effect once a size gets a sufficient number of accts.
[13:12:25] <Bytram> at 10K+ I'm sure we've passed the threshold for *something*

[19:29:57] <TurkeyWaddle> "There is no reason why companies like Apple cannot design their consumer products and apps to allow for court-authorized access by law enforcement, while maintaining very high standards of data security. Striking this balance should not be left to corporate board rooms.”"
[19:30:20] <TurkeyWaddle> I would call him a douchebag but that gives doucebag's a bad rap
[19:32:20] <Bytram> If *you* can get in, then so can the "bad guys"... I do not want *either* of you to have access,
[19:33:00] <chromas> Sounds like something a bad guy would say.
[19:33:03] <Bytram> feigned ignorance/stupidity, or maybe it just comes naturally?
[19:33:15] <TurkeyWaddle> That isx exactly the point and no amount of magic wand waving or lawyering will change that
[19:33:27] <nutherguy> "high security with a back door" is just one of the newest oxymorons
[19:33:40] <TurkeyWaddle> ^^^
[19:33:50] <Bytram> singing to the choir!
[19:33:53] <nutherguy> Something cool today:
[19:34:08] <nutherguy> no dine-in restaurants open, so I gave up and headed for home.
[19:34:23] <Bytram> High security with a back door == back door.
[19:34:28] <nutherguy> Saw something called "the burger joint" with lots of cars, so I stopped
[19:34:39] <nutherguy> Old gas station/garage - ancient place
[19:34:51] <nutherguy> they put tables under where the gas pumps used to be
[19:34:59] <nutherguy> all the bay doors in the garage are open
[19:35:03] <nutherguy> nice and air
[19:35:17] <nutherguy> watresses are located where the old pay counter was
[19:35:25] <nutherguy> and right outside the door is a food truck
[19:35:30] <nutherguy> works out great!!
[19:35:52] <Bytram> great thinking!
[19:35:58] <chromas> But do you still get gas?
[19:36:04] <nutherguy> Oh yeah - my burger was great!
[19:36:08] <TurkeyWaddle> Just in time for summer
[19:36:11] <nutherguy> gasoline across the street
[19:36:30] <TurkeyWaddle> smells like napalm in the morning?
[19:36:38] <nutherguy> Nothing better!
[19:36:53] <Bytram> I've occasionally thought someone could make a killing by setting up "food truck" meals in the foyer at, say, Home Depot or Lowes.
[19:37:47] <nutherguy> I may have to introduce the wife to the new form of "night out" at an old gas station
[19:38:35] <nutherguy> The architecture is cool - we talking all the structural support beams are rough cut 4x12
[19:39:07] <nutherguy> The longest beam, about 50 ft - not sure if it was one piece, or a couple jointed together
[19:39:20] <Bytram> Nothing fancy; hot dogs, burgers, sausages. With toppings like chili, mustard, ketchup, relish. cardboard carrying holder. Easy peasy. and a captive audience,
[19:39:51] <Bytram> youza! that's a big beam!
[19:40:19] <nutherguy> Ten Mexicans will manhandle it into place in a few minutes, LOL
[19:40:34] <nutherguy> They might cheat and use some kind of hoist though
[19:40:39] <Bytram> or 15 americans?
[19:40:59] <nutherguy> Depends on the Americans - some of them can't lift 20 pounds
[19:41:15] <Bytram> say what you will, but I've seen some of those guys *work* and with no complaint
[19:41:26] <Bytram> yuppers
[19:41:51] <nutherguy> I know they'll work, been working with them for - holy cow, I guess it's over 30 years now
[19:42:23] <Bytram> My life is better for having met them, and I hope the feeling was mutual.
[19:42:30] <Bytram> nod nod
[19:42:36] <TurkeyWaddle> Americans?
[19:42:51] <nutherguy> Some, anyway. There are the bad ones . . .
[19:42:57] <Bytram> mexicans/etc.
[19:43:18] <Bytram> I live in a hyge meting pot of a city.
[19:43:21] <Bytram> *huge
[19:43:38] <Bytram> on any given day I could meet someone from any opf 50 different countries
[19:44:04] <Bytram> and I've learned how to say thankyou in over 20 of 'em!
[19:44:12] <Bytram> that;s it.
[19:44:26] <Bytram> nap time
[19:45:04] <TurkeyWaddle> naps++
[19:45:04] <Bender> karma - naps: 111
[19:45:06] <Bytram> after a big lunch and it being warm, can't stay awake. Besides didn't sleep long last night.
[19:45:13] <Bytram> back in a whijle
[19:45:25] <Bytram> naps++ indeed!

[19:52:30] <TurkeyWaddle> because a paper towel roll just falls apart on you
[19:53:01] <guy_> Well, only if the data is abrasive, TurkeyWaddle
[19:54:23] <chromas> Could just pass status=progress to dd
[19:55:11] <guy_> yeah, more than one way to skin a cat, but the cat don't like any of them
[19:55:19] <TurkeyWaddle> or wet
[19:55:39] <TurkeyWaddle> cat's get all the abuse

[19:57:38] <TurkeyWaddle> oh, you're not spending "other people's money" on a corporate budget. I see
[19:59:37] <TurkeyWaddle> Well at least it makes sense that the 384% can be way off. Looks like that's an estimate of the data you expect to move, but garbage in garbage out
[20:00:21] <chromas> I dunno if I can trust a site with not article or comment datestamps
[20:03:49] <TurkeyWaddle> I think the link to a myspace page dates it a bit
[20:04:36] <TurkeyWaddle> jk
[20:05:06] <TurkeyWaddle> first cataloged by archive.org on 8/10/2017 so at least that old
[20:05:50] <TurkeyWaddle> or snapshot I should say
[20:06:44] <TurkeyWaddle> Interestingly the "tutorial info" block upper right had a date in it at the time of that snapshot
[20:06:53] <TurkeyWaddle> 8/10/2017
[20:08:11] <TurkeyWaddle> same date in a 1/29/2019 snapshot
[20:09:31] <kyonko> dd can't be that simple
[20:09:38] <kyonko> i used it as a kid to make boot disks
[20:09:46] <kyonko> but in DOS, you had to use rawrite
[20:09:57] <kyonko> i don't remember it as rawwrite
[20:10:41] <kyonko> then things got weird fast and its now a yes or no answer: can it do that?
[20:11:30] <guy_> In the Linux world, most of us keep our clothes on when working with hard disks - PPE is important in hazardous environments
[20:17:32] <kyonko> how delicate are HDD's really?
[20:17:45] <kyonko> took me a while to figure out that one about the monster magnetic fields
[20:18:37] <kyonko> I assume HDD's to be delicate if RAID is a thing
[20:35:29] <guy_> Fewer and fewer hard drives care about magnetic fields any more
[20:35:41] <guy_> They've mutated to be immune
[20:36:25] -!- TurkeyWaddle has quit []
[20:36:32] <guy_> I think it's related to size - an 80 gig external disk halfways filled a backpack thirty years ago
[20:36:43] <guy_> today, I put 250 gig in my shirt pocket
[20:37:31] <guy_> Then, there are USB drives, that don't care about magnetism either - I can put a dozen 250 gig drives in my pocket

[23:40:09] <chromas> While my router was beating off yesterday, I discovered my net connection is faster than the router can handle. sheeit
[23:40:30] <kyonko> is this some small isp?
[23:40:36] <chromas> no
[23:40:46] <chromas> Charter cable
[23:40:47] <kyonko> explain like i am 5 your isp
[23:40:51] <kyonko> oh cable co
[23:41:01] <chromas> Sans router I was getting ~120mb/s
[23:41:10] <chromas> router only has 100mb ethernet :(
[23:41:34] <chromas> but it was on sale for $9 at the time so
[23:45:24] <kyonko> wtf
[23:45:35] <kyonko> they let you use your own router?
[23:45:48] <chromas> have my own modem too
[23:46:16] <kyonko> heh, does charter firewall incoming connections?
[23:46:20] <chromas> no
[23:47:48] <kyonko> all broadband isp's firewall incoming connections here
[23:47:59] <chromas> that sucks. even ipv6?
[23:48:11] <kyonko> maybe?
[23:48:53] <chromas> They might be more lax with it because there's no shortage of addresses, whiel ipv4 is always just about to run out, so some ISPs force you through a nat
[23:49:26] <kyonko> yep
[23:49:36] <kyonko> all of them, some of the internal nat is quite deep
[23:51:33] <chromas> Glad I don't have to put up with that
[23:51:36] * chromas rubs his box
[23:52:19] <kyonko> maybe it depends where you live
[23:52:34] <kyonko> because these guys copied everything you did with a gateway
[23:52:39] <chromas> And how old the ISP is
[23:52:41] <kyonko> constant error 502's
[23:52:53] <kyonko> its, cricket wireless, centurylink and mediacom
[23:53:00] <kyonko> sprint pcs same shit
[23:53:12] <kyonko> t-mobile
[23:53:33] <chromas> Hm, don't cell networks prefer ipv6?
[23:53:40] <kyonko> i have ipv6
[23:53:52] <chromas> still firewalled?
[23:53:58] <kyonko> which reminds me I need to visit a channel i'm banned on in efnet
[23:54:13] <kyonko> why shouldn't ipv6 be firewalled, they hate you doing p2p
[23:54:23] <chromas> But I want to torrent
[23:54:41] <kyonko> torrent linux dvd's?
[23:55:11] <chromas> Yeah, that's it. Totally legit Ubuntus and Big Buck Bunny ISOs
[23:55:36] <kyonko> just like usenet
[23:55:41] <chromas> They don't want you to saturate the network but I doubt they care about p2p, at least on cable/dsl
[23:55:49] <kyonko> i remember giganews was still a thing in mid 2010's
[23:56:06] <kyonko> charter doesn't care for p2p
[23:56:08] <kyonko> most do
[23:56:25] <chromas> They just want your monies
[23:56:30] <kyonko> it started around 2007
[23:56:35] <kyonko> with tiscal.it in europe
[23:56:56] <chromas> well, they probably care more now that they're merging with all the media companies who haven't been bought up by disney yet
[23:56:58] <kyonko> they were the first isp to block incoming connections to customers
[23:57:17] <kyonko> disney internet?
[23:58:59] <chromas> where the violent sword attacks have no blood and nobody has sex
[23:59:06] <chromas> or maybe that's just star wars now
