35:00 <gee_man> i wonder if twitter's patched this buffer-overflow exploit:
36:00 <gee_man> 1. create a bunch of users with very short usernames
36:00 <gee_man> 2. fill up an entire tweet with these usernames
36:00 <gee_man> 3. rename the original usernames to very long ones
37:00 <gee_man> 4. profit!
41:00 <gee_man> i guess you can't really have special characters in usernames
41:00 <gee_man> it'd mess up memory tho
42:00 <gee_man> if multiple attacks were staged on the same cdn server, you could manipulate ram if it's not encrypted
42:00 <gee_man> a big like .gif explits
42:00 <gee_man> *exploits
42:00 <electrohead> o/
42:00 <gee_man> ey electrohead
43:00 <gee_man> i guess it requires knowing the source code
49:00 <gee_man> not really tho, it just require determining how much ram is being reserved for the elevated instance
49:00 <gee_man> you could manipulate where it already outputs something, such as a tweet, and replace it with a dumped memory page
50:00 <gee_man> that way you don't need to insert special characters
54:00 <BlackBishop> lol
54:00 <electrohead> how are y'all doing today?
54:00 <gee_man> any word on when you're starting?
54:00 <gee_man> i'm ok, not sure if bonny's still up
55:00 <gee_man> it's going to be a beautiful day
05:00 <BlackBishop> electrohead: I just discovered superbro
06:00 <electrohead> what's that?
06:00 <electrohead> gee_man: not yet, but I'm actually going to check my messages right now
06:00 <BlackBishop> https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7786486/
06:00 <BlackBishop> superwog ? :/ netflix says superbro here
08:00 <gee_man> 'wog' is considered racist to a lot of people
08:00 <gee_man> 'superwog' here in aus, but your vpn would tell you that
11:00 <electrohead> lol
11:00 <electrohead> and gah, nothing yet
11:00 <gee_man> have you considered applying for credit until your first paycheck?
12:00 <electrohead> I already have a credit card
12:00 <electrohead> :p
12:00 <gee_man> i'm just thinking if your fridge is bare, then it might be time to use it, if it's not maxed out
13:00 <electrohead> heh
14:00 <gee_man> i'm not one to give financial advice, sorry
16:00 <electrohead> woah woah
16:00 <electrohead> lol, hey mate
16:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> kia ora mate :)
16:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> what's happening
17:00 <electrohead> nothing much here, just being somewhat lazy today
17:00 <electrohead> you?
17:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> same ol same ol
17:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> working or should i say pretending to work
18:00 <electrohead> heh
18:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> we got what i think is this wacko coming to check us out all the time but everytime we approach her she takes off
19:00 <electrohead> as in a boss, or someone you don't know?
19:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> someone we dont know
19:00 <gee_man> jeeeez
19:00 <gee_man> do they seem aussie?
20:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> unknown all ive seen is the women in interior light
23:00 <electrohead> ooooohhhhh
24:00 <electrohead> today is labor day
24:00 <electrohead> it's a holiday, so the shop is closed
24:00 <electrohead> heh
24:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> yeah this wacko has being at it since the 3rd
26:00 <BlackBishop> now 30 years to the bank :)
27:00 <BlackBishop> well, I'll finish faster but... 
27:00 <gee_man> well, if i ask you again about this wacko and you say "i don't remember" and superiors ask you similar queestions, then i guess it'd be time to start introducing gas masks
28:00 <gee_man> the thing about having powder blown in your face is you don't remember shit, but do whatever they say
29:00 <gee_man> it's probably possible to build up a tolerance to it, but it's not worth the sideaffects
29:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> congrats bro
31:00 <BlackBishop> Snoopys_Gunship: thanks... took them long enough. should of been done 6 months ago
35:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> well bro could be worst you could be building and it goes on for 18 months
40:00 <BlackBishop> gee_man: lol
41:00 <BlackBishop> Snoopys_Gunship: at least I'd knew... 
41:00 <BlackBishop> but here.. they say it's done, but it's not. no electricity yet, no parking yet, no gas, still lots of dust .. the doors aren't in... 
41:00 <BlackBishop> but it's done... as far as they care
42:00 <BlackBishop> you can't live there... but it's done.
42:00 <BlackBishop> nvm.
43:00 <gee_man> my clipboard is acting super strange
43:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> yeah you are right bro at least here they actually tell you its done and it is
45:00 <gee_man> some crazy celebrity thinks she can short bitcoin by killing me
45:00 <gee_man> time to change my password
51:00 <BlackBishop> anybody comming to fosdem if it'll be in physical format?
51:00 <BlackBishop> s/comming/coming/
55:00 <gee_man> dunno what that is
55:00 <gee_man> i think i have some bad scripts in my uni fedora instance
56:00 <gee_man> whenever i access the internet, it messes with my clipboard something savage
58:00 <gee_man> because of the client i use to remote in, it shares the clipboard, so i think the script tried a buffer-overflow by filling my clipboard with an endless image
11:00 <gee_man> literally just got a command prompt popup
12:00 <gee_man> who the fuck are you?
17:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> fuck me check this dude out
17:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCi2025dfTM
30:00 <gee_man> that dude is awesome
30:00 <gee_man> he's got me thinking i should grow a beard now lol
35:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> fuck the beard look at that food
36:00 <gee_man> i could eat it all, if i prepped
36:00 <gee_man> even when i was skinny, i could eat two pub size chicken parmigianas both with sides at a pub
36:00 <BlackBishop> gee_man: the bestest open source conference in europe
37:00 <gee_man> BlackBishop sounds like a hacker's dream
37:00 <BlackBishop> It's in Brussels in the first weekend of February 
37:00 <BlackBishop> gee_man: or any ops...or dev.... Anything open source related
37:00 <BlackBishop> You can check their YouTube chan for older presentations
37:00 <BlackBishop> Here... This is one that always cracks me up
37:00 <BlackBishop> I was in the room
38:00 <gee_man> make sure you turn your wifi off when you go
38:00 <BlackBishop> https://youtu.be/NSemlYagjIU
38:00 <BlackBishop> Not my problem to secure the phone and laptop :-))
38:00 <gee_man> sorry, the only links i click are from Snoopys_Gunship
38:00 <BlackBishop> K
39:00 <gee_man> sounds cool tho
39:00 <BlackBishop> Well... It's a YouTube link
39:00 <BlackBishop> You can search for it
39:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> ok boring as batshit to me but might be good for gee_man
39:00 <BlackBishop> How to make package managers cry
39:00 <gee_man> i'm not a fan of meeting large groups of people
40:00 <BlackBishop> It's amazing how many software fsck up their package versioning
40:00 <gee_man> i think there's an xkcd comic of how linux conventions' average t-shirt size has increased 300% year on year since 2012
40:00 <BlackBishop> Very fun presentation
41:00 <BlackBishop> It's not only about the people... Think of all the stickers
41:00 <gee_man> lol
41:00 <BlackBishop> I have an idea about a simple website :-))
41:00 <gee_man> that i can order online?
41:00 <BlackBishop> Meh
41:00 <BlackBishop> Too expensive
42:00 <BlackBishop> They're free there
46:00 <gee_man> you're obviously an extrovert
59:00 <BlackBishop> Hell.
59:00 <BlackBishop> Hell no
03:00 <gee_man> ah ok
04:00 <gee_man> i suppose i can put on an act and handle large groups of people, but it's exhausting
10:00 <BlackBishop> I go for the presentations... Even though they are streamed... I am sick and tired of staying all day long at home for the past 2 years
11:00 <gee_man> i've been staying home 95% of my time for 6 years, last 6 months >97%
13:00 <gee_man> last 2 months >98%
13:00 <gee_man> i'm not bragging, just realising out loud
16:00 <BlackBishop> Well... Still not good
17:00 <gee_man> i have to take vitamin d supplements because i don't get out
17:00 <gee_man> sometimes i take the rubbish out tho
20:00 <BlackBishop> Well... I went to that conference each time it happened...
20:00 <BlackBishop> I like it a lot. The presentations are nice.. and there are booths with various projects ... Apache ..debian...google... Mozilla... Many others... 
20:00 <BlackBishop> It's nice to sit and listen
21:00 <gee_man> so they're official devs giving the presentations?
21:00 <BlackBishop> And there are tons of presentations...
21:00 <BlackBishop> Yup
21:00 <gee_man> that would be cool
21:00 <gee_man> might give some insight into the future
21:00 <BlackBishop> Not only official ones... But various people in various projects too...
21:00 <BlackBishop> As long as there is something open source to present
21:00 <BlackBishop> Some big...some small
23:00 <BlackBishop> And there are tons of subjects... 
23:00 <BlackBishop> Anyhow... You can view them on YouTube 
23:00 <gee_man> i've got (yet another) idea for a c program i'm writing - i decided to skip trying to write it from scratch and use existing libraries
23:00 <gee_man> so far, they're all mit license which is good
24:00 <gee_man> sadly, my idea is to do with compression
24:00 <BlackBishop> Hehe
24:00 <gee_man> so i'm probably chasing rabbits down holes
24:00 <BlackBishop> I remember the first time I decided to use a php lib
24:00 <BlackBishop> Then a framework
25:00 <BlackBishop> Life changing decisions
25:00 <BlackBishop> Ow... And using an IDE
25:00 <BlackBishop> :-)))
25:00 <BlackBishop> I can still write stuff using just nano just fine
25:00 <gee_man> yeah, i only just started using vscode within the last 6 months
25:00 <gee_man> before that it was windows notepad
26:00 <gee_man> and the new windows 11 notepad has dark mode, which is good, but it's buggy as hell
26:00 <gee_man> it kept screwing up code that has more than 100 lines
26:00 <gee_man> so i was forced to use vscode
26:00 <gee_man> i prefer vim to be honest
26:00 <BlackBishop> Yeah...dunno... I was a gentoo cli guy since I started
29:00 <gee_man> i've always wanted to join rizon, join as many channels with as many nicks as possible, then use a webscraper to open all the links posted, as well as downloading all the files via ctcp, just for shits and giggles
29:00 <gee_man> might find an exploit or two in the process
30:00 <gee_man> that wouldn't be the cool part tho
30:00 <BlackBishop> Start a honeypot 
30:00 <BlackBishop> I love to see scriptkiddies squirming 
30:00 <gee_man> the cool part would be actually opening the links in sandboxed browsers on the display
32:00 <gee_man> reminds me of when i was interrogated once, had my eyelids taped open doing math problems
34:00 <BlackBishop> That sounds like a meme for closing the alarm in the morning 
34:00 <gee_man> ?
35:00 <gee_man> oh you mean switching off snooze?
37:00 <BlackBishop> Yeah
38:00 <BlackBishop> Imagine the phone asking you to say the Lagrange theorem so you can turn the alarm off :-)))
38:00 <gee_man> lol
39:00 <gee_man> that reminds me, i've been meaning to put my phone away from next to my bed so that i actually have to get up in the morning, rather than in the afternoon
39:00 <BlackBishop> Or the pythagorean to just snooze it
39:00 <gee_man> lol
40:00 <gee_man> pro-tip: don't use mouse bait, it stinks up your walls/house; instead, use mouse traps
46:00 <BlackBishop> Don't have mouse issues
46:00 <BlackBishop> I live in a brand new 11 story building 
46:00 <BlackBishop> All is clean and nice
47:00 <BlackBishop> And routinely maintained
47:00 <gee_man> oh nice
48:00 <gee_man> i keep putting off getting an indoor plant
48:00 <gee_man> i bought a humidifier and warming mat for it, just need to pot and soil and plant now
51:00 <gee_man> not sure how the humidifier will affect my pc tho
52:00 <gee_man> i could run a humid half of the room, and run a dehumidifier next to my pc
52:00 <gee_man> lol
57:00 <BlackBishop> I have the ac that keeps the air clean and humid enough 
58:00 <BlackBishop> It even refreshes the air
58:00 <gee_man> i just realised my bad coding for my assignment, using globals, and unnecessary repeating of updating the same section of a web page, is going to harm my grade
58:00 <gee_man> i'm probably only going to get 80%
58:00 <gee_man> 12% of the final grade
59:00 <gee_man> i have two air purifiers, but the humidifier makes them stupid
00:00 <gee_man> i've only run the humidiifier for a total of a few hours, even bought a bunch of distilled water for it, but i'm worried about mould
00:00 <gee_man> i've already got mould in the ceiling whenever it rains the smell gets worse
02:00 <BlackBishop> Fix that first
02:00 <gee_man> well, it's public housing, so they sent two sets of plumbers, they couldn't find the leak in the roof, so the senior plumber thought "this is a bigger job than it seems and it costs my plumbers time to fix, which costs me money, so i'll just tell housing we fixed it and there's no leak"
08:00 <gee_man> i even sent them video proof, still, nothing
10:00 <BlackBishop> :-( sorry
12:00 <gee_man> not your fault dude
13:00 <gee_man> i could chase it up with senior management, but it's too much paperwork to file an official complaint, and i think they know this
13:00 <gee_man> such is the state of public housing nation-wide
14:00 <gee_man> it's the way the contracts work for tradies - they want quick-fix jobs and to move onto the next job as fast as possible
15:00 <gee_man> funny thing is i could request a job for a dripping tap, and they'll send out a tradie next day, because they know it's a quick fix
16:00 <gee_man> leaky roof = big job = less money overall
20:00 <gee_man> thanks for listening to me complaining, i should probably do something constructive instead of whingeing
22:00 <BlackBishop> :-)
22:00 <BlackBishop> Yeah... Watch that package manager presentation
22:00 <BlackBishop> It's funny
23:00 <gee_man> i'm straying away from linux wherever possible
23:00 <gee_man> however, i'm not straying away from open source
25:00 <gee_man> Thymesia is a gruelling action-RPG with fast-paced combat and an intricate plague weapon system. In a kingdom where death spreads, play as a mysterious character known by the code name "Corvus". Prey upon your enemies, wield the power of disease and find the truth in your own memories.
26:00 <gee_man> sounds like what my house will be like if they don't fix this leak
32:00 <BlackBishop> The presentation is os agnostic 
32:00 <BlackBishop> It's fun to hear how projects version stuff
34:00 <gee_man> i'm a git, but i don't use it
34:00 <gee_man> i probably should
35:00 <BlackBishop> It's not git related either
35:00 <BlackBishop> Anyhow...watch it when you have time and want a giggle
35:00 <BlackBishop> Worth it...
35:00 <gee_man> ok, maybe
35:00 <BlackBishop> Good lesson on how NOT to version stuff
35:00 <gee_man> heh
36:00 <gee_man> considering my versioning system sometimes involves me exclaiming "why didn't that change? wtf? oh, i'm running an older version"
36:00 <gee_man> maybe i will
36:00 <gee_man> for now, i'm trying to get ahead on my final assignment due in a few weeks
38:00 <BlackBishop> I watch these stuff as a "tv show" of sorts sometime before bed
39:00 <BlackBishop> Sometimes at lunch or breakfast 
39:00 <gee_man> i don't know what breakfast is anymore with my circadian rhythm
50:00 <BlackBishop> That sux.
14:00 <***> Buffer Playback...
14:00 <gee_man> [07:05:03] now my system is running sluggish since it was running smoothly at 2am
14:00 <electrohead> [07:05:18] o/
14:00 <gee_man> [07:05:23] ey electrohead
14:00 <gee_man> [07:06:44] i got through 2 chapters of my textbook last night, i'm feeling pretty proud of that
14:00 <electrohead> [07:07:24] all about programming? or, more than that?
14:00 <gee_man> [07:07:39] well, there was a lot of uml diagrams
14:00 <electrohead> [07:07:47] ahh
14:00 <gee_man> [07:07:50] mostly programming
14:00 <gee_man> [07:08:08] i feel confident i can do the final assignment
14:00 <gee_man> [07:08:34] i'm probably going to crash out soon
14:00 <electrohead> [07:12:03] how long have you been awake for?
14:00 <gee_man> [07:12:14] since about 3pm yesterday
14:00 <gee_man> [07:12:26] so, like, 15 hours
14:00 <electrohead> [07:12:49] damn dude
14:00 <electrohead> [07:12:52] go to sleep :P
14:00 <gee_man> [07:13:32] just gonna print off my notes, then a little housekeeping, then i will
14:00 <electrohead> [07:14:18] lol
14:00 <***> Playback Complete.
31:00 <gee_man> dunno how long i slept for last time i slept, but it was for a couple of days
51:00 <electrohead> damn 
13:00 <gee_man> ok i'm going to sleep, nite folks
28:00 <electrohead> g'night mate
34:00 <***> Buffer Playback...
34:00 <electrohead> [12:43:07] lol
34:00 <Bonny> [12:43:08] lol
34:00 <electrohead> [12:43:09] heya :)
34:00 <Bonny> [12:43:12] hey there
34:00 <*buffextras> [12:44:45] [email protected] set mode: +v nozy
34:00 <mickey> [13:29:34] bully
34:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> [14:22:20] fuck
34:00 <mickey> [14:23:58] again?
34:00 <gremlinz> [17:58:07] https://www.reddit.com/r/CatastrophicFailure/comments/x5thxk/amusement_ride_failure_today_4_sept_2021_in_india/
34:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> [18:51:15] damnit gremlinz i was hoping for a big boom and body parts flying lol
34:00 <gee_man> [18:53:19] nothing like being a passenger in a developing country
34:00 <gee_man> [18:53:37] or a developed country, for that matter
34:00 <gee_man> [18:53:50] especially when driving on the wrong side of the road
34:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> [18:55:32] they could say the same for us driving wise
34:00 <gee_man> [18:55:48] it's all relative
34:00 <gee_man> [18:56:44] it's like calling enemies of australia evil, when they see us as evil
34:00 <gee_man> [18:58:08] sometimes i wonder what bullshit will be made up about me next in order to keep people away from me
34:00 <gremlinz> [18:58:37] yea, must admit i was disappointed
34:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> [19:03:53] how are ya gremlinz
34:00 <gremlinz> [19:04:12] bloody marvelous, yaself
34:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> [19:06:19] bloody fantastic
34:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> [19:06:24] nice and warm up here in rocky
34:00 <gremlinz> [19:09:13] nice
34:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> [19:10:23] felt like shit today tho
34:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> [19:10:49] got woken up because the day shift guard had forgotten her mobile so i had to drive to site to do a welfare check on her
34:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> [19:10:57] turns out the phones in the hire car lol
34:00 <gremlinz> [19:11:25] the vehicle you drove to site?
34:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> [19:11:37] yeah lol
34:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> [19:11:47] i rung it and it had dropped between the seats lol
34:00 <gremlinz> [19:11:48] good one haha
34:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> [19:12:35] and while i was here my body decided for some reason to throw up so here i am driving the bus and holding on tight and shes behind me laughing lol
34:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> [19:13:21] altho plus side is no mozzies tonight thanks to the SAF
34:00 <gee_man> [19:14:38] which mosquito-bourne diseases are prevalent in the rockies?
34:00 <gee_man> [19:15:58] also, too little, too late, but i realise now you might've been able to do 24x7 cigarettes/alcohol delivery to get a lighter
34:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> [19:16:18] not in rocky
34:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> [19:16:21] i looked it up
34:00 <gee_man> [19:16:26] ah ok
34:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> [19:16:29] and come on man whats more annoying then a nagging wife
34:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> [19:16:35] a fucking mozzie buzzing around your head
34:00 <gee_man> [19:16:41] lol
34:00 <gee_man> [19:16:57] there was no bug spray in the kitchen?
34:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> [19:19:25] man witht he amount of mozzies here bug spray wouldnt cut it
34:00 <gee_man> [19:20:47] bug spray is formulated to stay in the air (as long as it's not surface spray)
34:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> [19:21:24] thats the problem its mainly outside and trying to keep them outside HENCE the coil for inside
34:00 <gee_man> [19:21:53] ah ok, you've obviously thought this through more than i have, i'll stfu now
34:00 <Snoopys_Gunship> [19:29:54] off course i have ive being here before
34:00 <gee_man> [19:33:18] i still find it weird that paper doesn't catch fire in the microwave
34:00 <gee_man> [19:33:36] i wonder if that's just with modern microwaves, or the type of paper
34:00 <gee_man> [19:34:04] has to be scrunched up, in my experience
