00:03 bnchs__; even one student who failed, recieved a perfect maximum score
00:03 schestowitz-TR; excellent
00:03 schestowitz-TR; all happy
00:05 bnchs__; this was because the scores got mixed up while the server was down for maintenance
00:06 bnchs__; the server was down because of some problem with microsoft's SQL server
00:06 bnchs__; and due to the web server getting overloaded
00:07 schestowitz-TR; lol

00:10 bnchs__; btw the overload started this semester when students wanted to see their scores
00:10 bnchs__; it fucked up with the SQL server
00:12 schestowitz-TR; 'server' [sic
00:12 XRevan86; bnchs__: The server-side of an SQL-capable RDBMS or MSSQL?
00:12 schestowitz-TR; well, technically it sometimes serves crackers
00:12 schestowitz-TR; but that's now what's intended by the buyer or licensee
00:12 XRevan86; The ambiguity is confusing.
00:12 bnchs__; its MSSQL
00:13 XRevan86; Could've been MS Access :)
00:14 schestowitz-TR; accessed by crackers, too
00:14 schestowitz-TR; did they try to trademark "Access"?
00:14 schestowitz-TR; and "Server"?
00:14 schestowitz-TR; "Weare THE server... in sql"
00:14 bnchs__; there's also crackers fucking up the scores of students (setting them to 0) to fuck with them
00:14 schestowitz-TR; and THE windows in a windowed environment"
00:14 schestowitz-TR; "and WORD processor"
00:14 bnchs__; the score goes up to 20
00:15 schestowitz-TR; but then students can complain
00:15 schestowitz-TR; and it gets investigated
00:15 schestowitz-TR; they would not complain if it is high
00:15 XRevan86; bnchs__: It's possible that the issue is not MSSQL but the qualification of the people who'd choose MSSQL :)
00:15 schestowitz-TR; it's like when someone pays you back too much change
00:15 schestowitz-TR; at a shop, not a friend
00:15 XRevan86; Could be a banal SQL injection.
00:15 bnchs__; yes i'm pretty sure they would keep it a secret
00:15 schestowitz-TR; most people will keep quiet
00:16 bnchs__; XRevan86: our entire country's websites rely on MS IIS 8.5
00:16 bnchs__; except the personal websites
00:16 XRevan86; bnchs__: My condolences.
00:16 bnchs__; they're hosted on nginx
00:16 XRevan86; bnchs__: Personal websites are allowed to be more secure, got it :)
00:16 bnchs__; (because the personal websites are hosted by sane people, and not bought by microsoft)

00:19 schestowitz-TR; toss out

00:19 XRevan86; bnchs__: It's as if in an office people would secure their personal belongings with premium Schlage locks while the company policy is to use a garden lock from MasterLock everywhere.
00:19 schestowitz-TR; bnchs__: I'm sure they have an up-to-date "anto"virus software
00:20 schestowitz-TR; so the money is wasted on more malware
00:20 bnchs__; our ISP's website is also hosted on ASP.NET
00:20 schestowitz-TR; instead of exiting the trap
00:20 bnchs__; with most of their page size being microsoft bloatware JS and CSS
00:20 XRevan86; bnchs__: The standard solution is to wrap that piece of crap in a reverse proxy.
00:20 schestowitz-TR; or varnish?

10:57 schestowitz-TR; geoge etc.

11:04 schestowitz-TR; bp announced record PROFITS
11:04 schestowitz-TR; for a family of 5 it can easily exceed 200 pounds
11:04 schestowitz-TR; and we never turn on the heating here
11:04 psydroid2; reducing power consumption and heating is becoming more important than ever
11:05 schestowitz-TR; so the usage is conservative, mostly home appliance and a bunch of laptops
11:05 schestowitz-TR; so my point is:
11:05 psydroid2; in that race x86 is out
11:05 schestowitz-TR; energy-efficient computers.
11:05 schestowitz-TR; we can now market them better
11:05 schestowitz-TR; cost of acquisition versus cost of running per annum
11:06 psydroid2; I made this calculation several years ago
11:06 schestowitz-TR; your $1000 wintel laptop might cost you $1400 in 5-10 years
11:06 schestowitz-TR; a $100 pair of raspi machines, working in tadem, might cost 200$
11:06 schestowitz-TR; %200
11:06 schestowitz-TR; $200
11:06 schestowitz-TR; it's that "TCO" BS

11:12 psydroid2; as for Intel I think they see the writing on the wall and have actually been involved with RISC-V for a few years through people they planted at SiFive via Intel Capital
11:12 schestowitz-TR; falkon on my system is very fussy about https://home.techrights.org
11:12 psydroid2; it's actually AMD that has kept x86 alive for selfish/short-term reasons
11:12 schestowitz-TR; not sure why, but it's debian 10, not latest falkon
11:13 psydroid2; I'm on Debian bookworm here, maybe that makes a difference
11:13 schestowitz-TR; ah, ok
11:13 schestowitz-TR; so it'll be supported soon

15:12 bnchs; "Verify your identity To access your Brave balances, you'll need to verify your identity on Uphold. When starting the verification process, please have a valid government-issued photo ID, and be ready to take a live selfie with your laptop or phone camera."
15:12 bnchs; you can payout, you just have to deanonymize yourself
15:12 bnchs; good private currency
15:13 SomeH4x0r; people just have to understand evildoers can make "privacy" claims as well
15:14 SomeH4x0r; and if a big company claims it doesn't track you, it should be *more* suspicious
15:14 bnchs; so BAT is private until you want to exchange it for money
15:17 bnchs; they have added gemini (not related to the protocol but the crypto exchange site), and that site also requires government ID aswell
15:18 bnchs; so BAT is not a real cryptocurrency, centralized to brave and only 2 exchange sites, and not private due to the sites being KYC
15:18 bnchs; is this just virtual scrip
15:19 SomeH4x0r; just paying you for providing your data, so they can abuse it later
15:20 SomeH4x0r; new "currencies" these days should not be trusted
15:22 MinceR; maybe you can convert it to some other cryptocurrency or move it elsewhere without using Uphold
15:22 MinceR; but who cares, the whole system is fragile as hell and won't run on any of the BSD-s

They went to Harvard and Yale and make six figures a year, and live in gated communities that force the bad guys to stay out with rent-a-cops, and so they see the situation like a scientist trying to study something second hand through a device.

18:56 DaemonFC; Probably in getting me pulled over more.
18:57 DaemonFC; schestowitz, So our landlord's apartments over on Grand Ave got a home invader the other day.
18:57 DaemonFC; We almost moved in over there.
18:58 DaemonFC; I thought, "Why oh why don't these people have a gun?" and then I read that the guy didn't even have to bust down the door or anything. He knocked, and said he was a city worker, and they just let him in.
18:59 DaemonFC; When someone says they're a city worker, and especially if you look through the peephole and it's this: https://www.lakemchenryscanner.com/2022/02/10/round-lake-man-charged-with-impersonating-police-officer-committing-home-invasion-in-waukegan/

18:59 TR Bot; Round Lake man charged with impersonating police officer, committing home invasion in Waukegan
18:59 DaemonFC; Oh, they changed the story.
18:59 DaemonFC; THIS GUY said he was a police officer. LOL
19:01 DaemonFC; This is exactly why I have several locks on the door. If they start trying to break it down, it gives me time to grab a gun out of the safe, load it, and shoot them. If I have to. Meanwhile, they'd be out there for 10 or 15 minutes making a hell of a lot of noise. And they'll be a lot better off if the police get 'em first.
19:03 DaemonFC; I have no idea how people are this stupid, that they live HERE and I keep reading about "Oh, I thought it was a cop so I let them in." or worse, "Yeah, he sneaked into my house.... No I didn't lock the door.".
19:03 DaemonFC; Most criminals will just move on to some easier victim if you do the slightest thing to deter them, like locking your doors or not leaving the car running at the gas pump.
19:04 DaemonFC; Bruce Schneier covered this, I believe.

19:04 TR Bot; More refined than domestic flies
19:04 DaemonFC; schestowitz, If EARN IT passes, then more people should use Tor and Tox.
19:04 DaemonFC; It's harder to break a stick in a bundle.
19:05 DaemonFC; For any site that doesn't require you to log in, or else it won't work at all, that's already not a terrible idea.
19:06 DaemonFC; Facebook has a Hidden Service on Tor, amusingly enough.
19:06 DaemonFC; The purpose is not privacy, it's to evade bans targeting Facebook in entire countries.
19:07 DaemonFC; The government sees Facebook as an endless source of information. People are informing on themselves all the time. They admit to crimes or at least leave evidence laying around everywhere.
19:08 DaemonFC; The feds have arrested and pursued charges against 765 people according to the last article I read, regarding January 6th.
19:08 DaemonFC; But their evidence is mostly people carrying their cell phones on them while they were in the buildings and taking pictures of themselves where they should not have been and posting them to Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
19:09 DaemonFC; After that, in a far distant second, is the always popular "people who didn't like them calling the police to say 'hey, that's him!'".
19:09 DaemonFC; Everyone out there has enemies.
19:10 DaemonFC; Enemies that will use anything they can to hurt them with.
19:10 DaemonFC; In at least one case, it was a battered woman in North Carolina that the local cops weren't doing anything about her husband.
19:11 DaemonFC; So she calls the feds and reports him for being in the riot, and they haul him off, and she goes to divorce court and he can't respond because he's in jail.
19:12 DaemonFC; Then, they go and look at all of the state mugshot and motor vehicle department records, matching faces.
19:12 kingoffrance; well the funny part is they call people "keyboard warriors"
19:12 DaemonFC; So there's not much you can do about some ways in which the government can find and attack you and gather evidence, but there are some things you can do.
19:12 kingoffrance; looks like that's the cops
19:13 kingoffrance; its meant to provoke ppl
19:13 DaemonFC; They could have not been there, obviously, but they could have also worn a handkerchief and some sunglasses and not bragged on social control media, and not taken their phone.
19:14 DaemonFC; Pride goeth before a fall.....
19:14 DaemonFC; People who want to gloat and don't think they'll get in trouble generally don't plan for not being in trouble later.
19:15 DaemonFC; Obscuring their faces would have taken away the ability to point and say "That was me! I was there! I did that!".
19:15 DaemonFC; So empty boasting is getting these people months or years in jail.
19:16 DaemonFC; Trump is now dangling pardons, maybe, three years from now. But their sentence will be carried out before then. And he could have pardoned them all in one letter for 14 days in January of last year, and didn't.
19:17 kingoffrance; part of politicianing is surely offer solutions to problems you create
19:17 DaemonFC; Pardons don't actually do much for you after the sentence is over with. Like, I could write the Governor of Illinois asking for a pardon, and if somehow I got one, all it would do is qualify me for a records expungement.
19:17 DaemonFC; Which I already have as part of my plea deal.
19:19 DaemonFC; And taking a pardon is admitting that you were guilty, which is worse than where I'm already at, because I plead no contest, which legally means I do not admit guilt, I'm just agreeing to accept punishment because I probably couldn't win outright in court.
19:19 DaemonFC; <kingoffrance> part of politicianing is surely offer solutions to problems you create
19:20 DaemonFC; Yeah, but I'd just recommend getting an expungement if you don't already have a criminal record dating back before the incident.
19:20 DaemonFC; Taking one admits you were wrong. When the government offers one, it's almost always political.
19:20 DaemonFC; Like, the UK offered pardons to people convicted of homosexuality, and many rejected the pardons. Refused to take them.
19:21 DaemonFC; LIke, "Fuck you. I didn't do anything wrong. Keep your stupid pardon!".
19:21 DaemonFC; But they also grant them to people who are dead, who they know can't refuse them and make a statement about why they refused one
19:22 DaemonFC; They drove Alan Turing to commit suicide after forcing chemical sterilization on him, for the convenience of society at the time. Holding him to their standards.
19:22 DaemonFC; Then years after he killed himself, oh here's a pardon. You're still guilty, but here's a pardon.
19:23 DaemonFC; It's always easier to give pardons to dead people, so it's what usually happens. They don't want an incident.
19:23 DaemonFC; The UK pardoned Turing for being driven to suicide by the state. How magnanimous of them.
19:24 DaemonFC; Trump gave one to women who were found guilty of voting.
19:24 DaemonFC; Like, let's just rip open old wounds.
19:25 DaemonFC; Next, naturally, is a pardon for slaves who were guilty of escaping and violating the Fugitive Slave Act, I guess.
19:25 DaemonFC; The irony of pardoning people for violating unjust laws, and thus finding them guilty with no further recourse, is lost on idiot politicians who are almost always conservatives.
19:26 DaemonFC; In their minds, they bury the hatchet, because they have no deep understanding of the legal system, or they hope their voters don't.

19:44 DaemonFC; Congress is considering a bill that would allow people with less than $200 worth of gains or losses in crypto to not have to report it to the IRS.
19:44 DaemonFC; My only guess is the IRS isn't happy getting all of these 1099 statements because someone had $1 worth of activity or something.
19:45 DaemonFC; But the tax laws require it. So they're probably asking Congress to make it stop in those cases.
19:46 DaemonFC; The IRS has never particularly wanted to spend time untangling miscellaneous income under $600 a year from any particular source. So they don't require a 1099 for most things that bring in less than that.
19:46 DaemonFC; You still have to report it, but typically you don't get a 1099-MISC about it.
19:47 DaemonFC; If you get a 1099 from anyone, you need to attach it because the IRS got the information too.
19:48 DaemonFC; For most individual filers, W-2, 1099-MISC, 1099-INT, 1099-B, and 1099-C are the most likely forms they'll encounter at some point.
19:49 DaemonFC; Many people don't realize it, but agreeing to settle an old collections account for less than full value is probably a bad idea. Especially if it's so old that it won't be possible to sue over if they continue to not acknowledge the debt.
19:50 DaemonFC; Say you have a $20,000 bill from the hospital. You live in Indiana and the statute on lawsuits is 6 years. It's been 8 years. You get a bill in the mail from a collection agency saying they'll settle it today for $8,000.
19:50 DaemonFC; So you send them the $8,000. Next January you get a 1099-C for $12,000 of canceled debt (or maybe more if the collection agency claimed to have added interest and then "forgave" the interest it made up).
19:51 DaemonFC; Then you owe the IRS taxes on $12,000+ of additional income for the year and you have a tax problem, on top of the $8,000 the collection agency got. All for something they could never have collected on if you just hung up or threw the bill in the trash.
19:52 DaemonFC; The collection agency is laughing at you because they got more than they paid for the account, which was probably $100 or less if other debt collectors had long since given up on it and sold it as unrecoverable debt.
19:53 DaemonFC; The IRS is happy because you have taxable income.
19:53 DaemonFC; The government has no reason to fix healthcare.

19:53 DaemonFC; As long as people are strongarmed or feel that way about settling, it's money for the tax department every year, even though the bill was based on exorbitantly inflated hospital prices that no insurance company would have paid.
19:54 DaemonFC; So folks with a $100,000 hospital bill may be threatened that they can settle for $30,000 or be sued, so they settle and try to start making payments, and then they get a 1099-C in January for $70,000 in additional income, and now owe the IRS $14,000.
19:55 DaemonFC; Those ads on the radio about the IRS fresh start plan where you wonder how an electrician or a plumber or a nurse gets in that deep with the IRS.....happens to my mother almost every year.
19:55 DaemonFC; She has some hospital after her and "settles" and gets a 1099-C.
19:56 DaemonFC; Then the IRS notices that there's thousands of dollars in 1099-C income she didn't report, and they DO investigate that.
19:56 DaemonFC; Then she gets a letter stating they're correcting her tax return and how would she like to pay them...
19:57 DaemonFC; If it's something that's relatively small (up to several thousand dollars), they just want the money and usually don't go after it as a criminal offense.
19:57 DaemonFC; But nobody likes interest and penalties.
19:58 DaemonFC; My mom's ex was going on and on about how the IRS "cheated him" out of his money. I said, "You didn't file returns for those years and by the time you did, it was too late to get most of the money. You're lucky mom paid to have your taxes filed or else the IRS could go after you for not filing, even if they owed you money every year.".
19:59 DaemonFC; By the time she found out about this, he could have been charged with 8 counts of failing to file a tax return by the feds, and 8 more counts by the state.
20:00 DaemonFC; And she was already married to him. Then she comes at me and snipes "Well, you got married before you knew Mandy.". I said, "Well at least he didn't have 8 years of unfiled taxes he didn't tell me about and 3 girlfriends on the side.".
20:01 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR, People always underestimate the whole heap 'a trouble they'll be in.
20:01 DaemonFC; Speaking of government spying, Illinois has an electronic list of who has car insurance.

20:02 DaemonFC; Then by the time you're pulled over for something it'll be a hat trick. Like speeding, no insurance, and invalid plates.
20:02 DaemonFC; Most states don't have the list. So what some people do is they buy 7 day insurance policies so they can get their plate renewed, let it lapse, and drive the rest of the year without insurance.
20:03 DaemonFC; A guy I worked with did one better.
20:03 DaemonFC; He printed out a fake car insurance card on his computer at home and took it to the DMV to get his plates renewed.
20:04 DaemonFC; I told him, "You know, that might work until you hit someone and the cops go to run it and find out that not only is it fake, but that you presented counterfeit documents to government agency.
20:04 DaemonFC; Also, they could hit you with making false statements to the police.
20:04 DaemonFC; If they pull you over and ask if you're insured and you say yeah and hand them that.
20:05 DaemonFC; All so he could save $30 a month in insurance premiums.
20:05 activelow; falsifying documents adds up to a penalty, probably more than driving without insurance
20:05 DaemonFC; It does!
20:05 DaemonFC; That's a felony and a class A misdemeanor. Counterfeit documents to the government and lying to the police.
20:06 DaemonFC; Simply driving without insurance is only a Class B Misdemeanor.
20:06 DaemonFC; They never like to charge one offense and take it to court.
20:06 DaemonFC; When they can add up numerous charges, you probably won't beat them all.
20:07 DaemonFC; When they went after Kyle Rittenhouse, the state threw in everything, even when the law clearly didn't apply.
20:07 activelow; me? i don't have a car to worry about, and couldn't afford a single petrol charge once a month.
20:07 DaemonFC; They were trying to scare him into pleading out. When he went to trial, the judge threw out "Minor in possession of a long rifle." before the jury was even selected.
20:08 DaemonFC; Because the barrel length was too short, and the prosecutor probably knew it.
20:09 DaemonFC; Granted it wasn't the most serious charge, but it shows you how the state does things. They pile up charges even when they know for sure some won't stick if it goes to court.
20:09 bnchs; whats the deal with Kyle Rittenhouse
20:10 DaemonFC; That charge was thrown out by the judge because the letter of the law said it wasn't illegal for him to have a rifle like that.
20:10 DaemonFC; Then the jury found him not guilty of the rest.
20:10 DaemonFC; Wisconsin's self-defense law applied.

20:11 DaemonFC; Prosecutors always object to people arguing self-defense, because they know that if the jury starts hearing about how the defendant was being assailed, then the prosecutor will likely lose their case.
20:11 DaemonFC; Because at least 1/12 jurors will probably see that when people show up to commit riot and try to take your lawfully possessed gun from you, and you shoot them, well.....
20:11 DaemonFC; Would that juror have done anything differently?
20:12 DaemonFC; So you're doing a jury trial, you play things a little differently than when you're at a bench trial.
20:12 DaemonFC; You argue the law of course, but you also add an emotional element.
20:13 bnchs; i don't get, what did he do
20:13 DaemonFC; When that guy that mugged me pleaded out, the prosecutor read off a summary of what he would have argued to a jury, including my account of what the attacker told me.
20:14 DaemonFC; "Give me everything in your pockets, right now! We're not fucking with you! Everything in your pockets or you're dead!".
20:14 DaemonFC; <bnchs> i don't get, what did he do
20:14 bnchs; i mean Kyle
20:15 DaemonFC; His account was that he was there to help defend private property from looters, rioters, arsonists, etc.
20:15 DaemonFC; That while he was there, and open carry is legal in Wisconsin btw, that some of the rioters attacked him and tried to gain control of his rifle.
20:15 DaemonFC; And that at this point he had to shoot them.
20:16 DaemonFC; The one that lived, Gage Grosskreutz, has a long criminal history.
20:16 DaemonFC; Including domestic violence and lots of drunk driving, including one incident where the entire bodycam footage of a DUI incident got posted to Facebook.
20:16 DaemonFC; He tried to sue but I doubt that's going anywhere.
20:17 DaemonFC; A criminal jury found Rittenhouse not guilty, so that's not evidence. In fact, it's evidence Rittenhouse can use to the contrary.
20:17 DaemonFC; Further, while Grosskreutz was injured, he was committing a crime, for which the state declined to prosecute him.
20:18 DaemonFC; Most reasonable people would agree that when you are engaged in crime, it's at your own risk.
20:18 DaemonFC; This is how certain people rack up 40-50-100 offenses.
20:19 DaemonFC; Because it takes a certain kind of person to ignore EVERY regulation and law and court order that they just don't feel like complying with, and that just leads to trouble every time they let you out.

20:22 DaemonFC; But you went in there with an illegal handgun, discharged it, shot the cashier, and escaped for all of an hour with $137. And now there's 6 charges on the docket.
20:23 DaemonFC; Instead of 8 hours of your life for $137, you spend 20 years in prison.
20:23 DaemonFC; So these folks lack a certain perspective.

20:30 DaemonFC; Including taking your kids from you and putting them in an even worse living situation where the foster parents kill your children, and then you sue the state and find out it has sovereign immunity and is not responsible for that.
20:32 DaemonFC; Every year, when you file taxes, you ask the government for the EITC to get a few hundred bucks to help with the expenses.
20:32 DaemonFC; And asking for the credit makes you 1,000 times more likely to have your tax return audited,
20:33 DaemonFC; The government does nothing to help you. In fact, to run up the stock market they dump trillions of fake dollars into the system, causing baby formula to spike to $60 per jar, and then they put it behind locked plexiglass at Walmart.

20:34 DaemonFC; Meanwhile, your rent goes up 27% per year, and was already quite bad because you can't really live with kids in a one bedroom apartment, and each bedroom adds $200-300.
20:34 bnchs; remember the New Jersey Childproof Handgun Law
20:34 DaemonFC; Yeah.
20:35 bnchs; and people threatening gun stores for trying to sell smart guns
20:35 DaemonFC; Illinois requires each gun sold to have a trigger lock.
20:35 DaemonFC; Which is kind of bullshit considering they comply by giving you the cheapest one possible, which a child of 4 can pry off with a flathead screwdriver.
20:36 bnchs; even though i never used a gun before, i find smart guns to be bullshit
20:36 DaemonFC; If you do want to prevent the gun from firing, but want to access it in a timely manner yourself, getting a revolver and a lock that prevents the cylinder from closing is an option.
20:37 DaemonFC; The NRA is against "smart" guns.
20:37 bnchs; like the Armatix iP1
20:37 DaemonFC; One of the reasons is because if a man is really violent towards his partner, he can lock HER out of the gun.
20:37 DaemonFC; So he can shoot her, but she has no chance of picking it up and shooting him.
20:37 bnchs; you have to have a bracelet or some shit
20:38 DaemonFC; There's an easy way to keep from being shot with your gun.
20:38 DaemonFC; We can call it the Rittenhouse Method.
20:38 bnchs; aside from a domestic violence case, imagine in a self-defense case
20:38 DaemonFC; Shoot Grosskreutz before Grosskreutz gets it and shoots you!
20:38 bnchs; you really need to shoot the gun, but you don't have the bracelet
20:39 DaemonFC; Nobody accused Grosskreutz of being brilliant.
20:39 DaemonFC; Video evidence shows he can't sit in a chair without falling out.

23:04 MinceR; and in general, abrahamism has a big hand in humans being confused about morality
23:04 DaemonFC; Even back then they suggested we were on the verge of a major breakthrough. There's actually been more progress in HIV research than Alzheimer's, although again, it's basically running on a treadmill.

23:05 DaemonFC; With HIV they have a bunch of drugs that are quite different from each other, but all suppress the virus. And it's good that there's more drugs, in case of treatment resistance, but it's still running in place.
