Microsoft has become so money hungry..
an engg org i'm part of couldn't afford to maintain office 365 for all its members.. so we were going to lose our engg domain emails, etc..
tried to back up my One Note and Mail.. but it was next to impossible..
One Drive doesn't let you download those files without corrupting them.. so had to manually login to OneNote and save them one by one offline.. (cuz it doesn't let you export them to anything else)
and still haven't figured out how to save Emails.. because Outlook mail support was withdrawn, so can't download it anymore..
literally no way to save emails to offline..
@rough sapphire They weren't backed up already... ?
what do you mean
I mean, did you not already have backups of e-mails?
no I didn't.. :< all of them were online.. never had a reason to back them up elsewhere before
Ouch.
the point is.. this is Enterprise behavior.. I hate this.. they try to keep you locked in..
trapped
they brought it all the way back from the ibm days
Every business should have backups. Microsoft gives you the ability to do so. Waiting until the last minute when you have none is not Microsoft's fault.
bright flint
painstakingly wrote out a list in alphabetical order to find out .sort() exists after... 
rough sapphire
there's no way to make back ups
and this is a personal account.. just with the institute's domain..
@bright flint Well, won't make that mistake again!
bright flint
Indeed, what made it worse was i'm using "Windows 7 Extreme Lite" ( 1GB ) so my keyboard's layout has reset so my " is where the @ is atm... which makes typing terrible haha
like they've flipped places
rough sapphire
Extreme Lite?
bright flint
I'm used to " being on 2
Yeah it's just a striped down windows 7
i'm sure one exists for 10
rough sapphire
Is this a pirated copy?..
bright flint
I downgraded after getting fed up with windows 10 bloatware, that and the fact i sometimes work with VM's, which i tested it on first and it ran like a charm.
rough sapphire
Windows 7 probably isn't a good idea to downgrade to - considering it'll be EOL in less than a year.
January 14, 2020
bright flint
It's not a legitamate windows 7 no, but for what it is, and what my needs are for it, it's perfect.
rough sapphire
Yeah I wouldn't trust anything on that machine then.
You have no idea if there's a keylogger, RAT, or some other questionable piece of software baked in
rough sapphire
Considering how ransomware is going these days, highly doubt it.
bright flint
I know it was a joke
tame pier
Are you actually using that on your primary personal machine?
bright flint
:p
bright flint
No christ just the Vms
rough sapphire
also..this is where I live
bright flint
How would you go about scanning for rats on an OS?
like, would this be an external or internal process.
rough sapphire
Well, if it's a compromised system from the ground up like a pirated OS, you can't really trust anything it gives you.
tame pier
External, and lots and lots of time
rough sapphire
First thing you'd do is disconnect it from the internet, which if it's a laptop... makes it a little complicated.
Not many people can make a working faraday cage for a laptop, and still use the laptop lol
rough sapphire
If it's actually compromised, anyone who's compromised it wouldn't let you know as that goes against the entire point.
Β―_(γ)_/Β―
yeah they just take pictures of your family and sell them on the dark web..
through the webcam
Your accounts, microphone, camera, anything you do on the system.
when you login..when you're home..
bright flint
Even my youtube python tutorial history? Gosh.
rough sapphire
Yeah, the WHEN you login is incredibly important.
Because then they'd attack when they'd know you were asleep or AFK
so they can come over and steal your kidneys
$70k a pop on the black market..
I mean, I wouldn't go THAT far
im just adjusting for inflation.. not really sure about the going rate.. it used to be 50k a few years ago
bright flint
I want to engage in more banter on the matter but i'd be breaking tos
but yeah, i hope whoever it is before they harvest me atleast optimize my code.
rough sapphire
@rough sapphire Says the person who sells kidneys on the black market... π€
hey I still have both of mine.. (im sure.. because there's no scars) lol
That doesn't mean you don't sell other people's kidneys
logic
lol
bright flint
-Will donate kidney for python tutoring
bright flint
Trade?
bright flint
bartering with my kidney haha
rough sapphire
you'll get banned from all of discord for even joking about things like this.. I imagine
like IP banned..
then fbi at your door
and end up on the news
without a kidney.. because they need to pin you on a charge.. they'll take one anyway
so now you have no kidney.. no money and no python
mo kidneys mo problems
easiest way to end up with MRSA.. bathtub kidney harvesting..
rough sapphire
and they'll ship you to california.. in a shipping container
@rough sapphire Is that a Shameless reference?
never seen it before
wow.. someone out there is stealing all my plot ideas huh
anyways.. once you're in california.. they'll get you hooked on heroin to manage the pain
bright flint
I'm actually at a crossroad now that you guys brought up the fact the OS is probably infected. Do i A) install a legit OS of my choice, but deal with the loss of performance due to bloatware B) Live fast die young
rough sapphire
and that's why you should never give a mouse a cookie
why so concerned about bloatware... is your system low end on specs?
it should be Live little die young.. lol..
bright flint
Nope, but for gaming performance i've achieved 1:1 performance using the dodgy lite windows 7
I cant achieve this with legit windows 10 on a VM
rough sapphire
Legitimate VMs if you're actually using it for testing. Otherwise, I'd suggest using your OEM copy of Windows 10.
bright flint
32-bit
tame pier
you want ancient windows, but 64 bit, and fast, and free
bright flint
I'd pay for a legit copy of the above
rough sapphire
It's weird you want Windows 7 of all things
bright flint
that isn't the issue haha
vapid bluff
xp has a 64bit iirc
tame pier
Yes it does
vapid bluff
back in windows 7 you could jump straight into xp mode
tame pier
You install a legit OS and enjoy not being destroyed by any backdoors or, I dunno, WORMS
How about that RDP CVE
bright flint
fake or legit, your information is still getting harvested.
rough sapphire
At no point would I ever recommend any type of pirated OS. That's just... wow
@bright flint What?
As in, Microsoft is doing it or just in general?
tame pier
The telemetry is trivial to disable, and I'd rather MS have my info than some Nigerian prince
tame pier
rough sapphire
@bright flint I don't know about that whole your information is still getting harvested statement.
You're also being rather broad about the statement. Are you talking web trackers, advertisements, built-in OS tracking?
bright flint
Well microsoft is doing it ,then when you use your browser every website these days has trackers
pick your poison
tame pier
I love how pirate's apparently have your best interests in heart and no fiscal motivations whatsoever while M$ is out to destroy everything you love
bright flint
no
rough sapphire
You do realize uBlock Origin and NoScript exist?
bright flint
I'm currently drink all the poison atm.
rough sapphire
So your browser argument is moot
tame pier
If you're concerned about privacy Scott's your man
vapid bluff
there are some places where piracy is literally the only viable option
some countries have very lax copyright rules so people cansell pirated CDs in shops
and accessing legit stuff is either impossible or exorbitantly expensive as a result
rough sapphire
@vapid bluff That's not what they're arguing, and that's not a topic I'd like to get into right now.
What they're saying is that there are trackers on every site, and Microsoft tracks you regardless. That's their argument for using a pirated system.
bright flint
Listen, the day i can run a Grift 95 in under 5minutes in VM on a legit copy of windows is the day i leave my nigerian prince.
rough sapphire
Now mind you, you can very easily disable trackers using the likes of uBlock Origin, NoScript, as well as forcing HTTPS on all sites that have a ruleset with HTTPS Everywhere
Also can disable the telemetry on Windows as well. But, they much more prefer to use a pirated version by who knows.
bright flint
the same telemetry that enables it's self, every update?
rough sapphire
Let's play Devil's Advocate.
bright flint
I find it mad how we got from talking about lists to microsoft creating a black market in OS's to avoid bloatware.
rough sapphire
Which do you find more intrusive?:
Telemetry that is enabled on every single Windows 10 system?
or
A pirated Windows 7 made by a group/individuals you don't know, without a changelog of what they've added/removed?
vapid bluff
@rough sapphire my point wasnt directed at you specifically, i was commenting on the general pirates vs ms convo going on
rough sapphire
@vapid bluff Ah, gotcha
bright flint
It might just be my configuration that yields me the best results going down this route compared to others on a legit windows.
rough sapphire
@bright flint I'm not sure if continuing this conversation will get us anywhere. It's your choice, but you should know the implications of your actions of continuing to use a pirated system.
Have a good rest of the day o/
bright flint
I guess I'll uninstall it from all my VMs and keep tweaking until i can achieve 1:1 performance again. As my last attempt resulted in stock motion haha.
tame pier
If you really care about performance, just install any Linux distro π
bright flint
My friend has been trying to convert me to linux for years, but i hate terminals.
fast hemlock
Linux Mint
bright flint
I see. Is there anywhere i can compare OS performance?
Like, i'd still probably need to have windows on a machine due to games? or i'd be stuck running them on a VM on linux i guess or?
tame pier
I thought your windows were in VMs
bright flint
Yeah they are
My primary is still windows 10
I've never used linux before
I'm asking if i was to convert fully, i take it i'd still probably need windows vms for most games?
I've no idea what is supported for linux
if you get me?
tame pier
if you game a lot then you're probably not ready for linux
rough sapphire
maybe just partition and boot windows for games?
bright flint
Sounds like a good idea.
solid wolf
I've had good luck booting to Windows, then using a Linux VM
In most use cases, at least
rough sapphire
@solid wolf The only issue is that they're using a pirated Windows 7 ( there was a long conversation, and I don't fault you for not reading the entire thing )
solid wolf
Ohh big oof
rough sapphire
Yeah, so that's why the "Why not just use Linux?" question came up
@solid wolf you could read it.. it's full of organ harvesting details and everything..
solid wolf
But I'm writing teens of lines of code
rough sapphire
I think it's a very detailed account of the dangers of OS pirating.. may be it can be an article or a paper..
me too.. but hey .. im still here.. lol.. this place helps me keep my sanity when dealing with Lisp..
bright flint
1) Performance issues using legit windows on VM due to being more bulky/bloatware.
2) Major security issues using Pirated OS which is sad due to it running like clockwork.
3) Crying looking at the terrible trade-offs for both options.
4) Why not just use Linux? -Games T_T
-update-
5) Legal Issues```@rough sapphire @rough sapphire @solid wolf
rough sapphire
well you skipped over consequences of using pirated OS completely..
sand goblet

hmmmmmm
On July 8 this year, more than three million unregistered .uk domains β including household brands from Mars.uk, Heinz.uk, and Maltesers.uk to Colgate.uk and Lipton.uk β will be released to the general public to purchase.```that's....
baaaad.
sand goblet
they're basically parking the domains early
then they'll auction them off
this, all before the domains are available to the public
gentle moss
One large registrar registered millions of .uk domains and claimed they were doing so on their customers' behalf β even when those customers hadn't asked them to.```i remember this
sand goblet
that's probably 123-reg
gentle moss
it was
sand goblet
lol
gentle moss
they would register a .uk for "free" with every .co.uk
sand goblet
I feel like that company should have been sued into the ground by now
gentle moss
Nominet should auction them off
yeah, 123reg is a wretched hive of scum and villainy
sand goblet
I remember because they wouldn't let me configure my DNS records properly
I wasn't able to not have subdomains pointed at their services
gentle moss
they've got limited record options
sand goblet
like their webmail
and then I tried to move nameservers and realised I couldn't do that either
gentle moss
well they've improved that, you can now pick your own name servers
sand goblet
this was probably a decade ago
gentle moss
they're just subclass as a service provider
really nominet should offer those brands to the brands
before making them public
having some random twat own mars.uk or some such
just not helpful
and allowing the registrars to capitalise on it

It's not even very hard

magic rune
True, but he said it wasn't possible to join it
sand goblet
I don't think he meant technically possible, he meant technically possible
as in, sure, you could join it, but it still wouldn't work
magic rune
ngl I kinda want to see how well it'd work
sand goblet
most of the commands are locked down
that's just as a safety feature in case someone did accidentally join it elsewhere
but also like, the other servers won't have the role IDs they have here
you couldn't show as verified to the bot
and since the checkpoint channel isn't on the other server, you couldn't verify yourself either
magic rune
Oh nevermind it's literally impossible
tame terrace
@magic rune feel free to, that's why it's open source.
you'd have to change a bunch of stuff to even get it to stop crashing
magic rune
Nah I literally just tried generating an oauth link
tame terrace
but people do set it up for their testing servers, so it's not impossible.
just work.
tame terrace
yeah you'd have to rip out quite a few things to get it working properly, and probably write some stuff.
oak tangle
It's not that impossible to do, but a lot things you'd want to change are semi-hardcoded, since it isn't designed to be flexible
tame terrace
unless your server was a clone of this one

Very space efficient.
Layered keyboards aren't really my thing though.
Too much memorizing.
gentle moss
same reason i don't like Vi
gentle moss
so i've been using remote powershell to make my co-worker's PC make weird nosies every half hour or phone
he's kind of confused about what's going on
stark prawn
If it's one of those old pc's you could open the cd tray.
gentle moss
i can and indeed plan on doing that
although i think i might start playing a few paragraphs of erotic spiderman vs ironman fan fiction
narrow comet
playing?

it talks about keeping your account safe so you view them as someone to trust
vestal briar
Looking at a source
narrow comet
and then they casually say "demand" which raises the urgency
but you still trust them

Hmm

Ah

gentle moss
well tbh, it's a shit attempt at phishing
narrow comet
hit the bottom and fell on a spike

we need at raggy to recover it

especially since it's targeted at a business that hosts its own exchange server

wow

the redacted makes it look more suspicious
gentle moss
huh? i did that
gentle moss

They are secured by a lot of other virus scanners.

That's how you know it's legit.

SO MANY ANTI-VIRUS
narrow comet
quick virus scanner
narrow comet
also
confirm account but doesn't explain what account
do they expect people to be so dumb they just put the details they use for everything in?
stark prawn
'The account'
vestal briar
Emulation looks cool
I wonder how to display it?
Pipe it to pygame or can it just be ran in the terminal
narrow comet
@vestal briar I was just going to do ASCII art output for mine
it's only a 64x32 screen
narrow comet
if you don't do that then yeah you're probably going to have to use pygame or uh
processing
vestal briar
I want to make an distro in the future using linux kernel
Could be a nice game package to program myself
narrow comet
ha
vestal briar
:P
narrow comet
go buy linux from scratch ya doink
narrow comet
o
vestal briar
And develop programss
Then I can port it all to my fancy distro
All will be made on C and python
narrow comet
uh oh
CHIP8's draw operation is a weird hoot
you can have sprites of different heights but not widths
width is 8
it reads (height) bytes and uses the bits
then it does XOR on a chosen screen region
if there was anything already there it sets a flag which is how collision works
so in games you always see things crashing into other things and XORing them for one frame
narrow comet
I just implemented it from a table of what everything does
tutorials are for weak men
gentle moss
so i just text -> speech'd a whole chapter of peter parker porn and he's given up and rebooted his PC
but doesn't realise it's also now a startup script
vestal briar
Hang on let me make my program use 1 char array for all
What are you talking about bisk
gentle moss
the co-worker i'm abusing with text->speech stuff
he's still not figured out which one of us is doing it to him
vestal briar
Ah
gentle moss
he's been doing pranks on everyone else so i figured it was about time i hit him with one
gentle moss
i give him 30 minutes to figure it out
but he loves to listen to music while working and now it's just erotic fanfiction

sand goblet
Well fuck
I had an idea
The pi with hassio on it isn't tolerant of power failures and I have to use the shell to start home assistant myself if that happens
So I figured I'd buy a screen for it
So I don't have to move it to a TV every time
But of course I hadn't counted on hassio not supporting gpio for that
gentle moss
hah.
sand goblet
hassio is a locked down linux
there is no shell
so I can't just set up my own drivers
I do have access to docker
wet steppe
hmm
sand goblet
I can even run a privileged container
sand goblet
if you do and you use z-wave
note the stick I have
it's the fucking best
it's an aeotec z-wave stick
wet steppe
ooh
sand goblet
it like
has its own battery
so if I want to pair something I can just remove it from the pi, take it over and press the button
rain spindle
I used a website hooked up to flask to emulate hassio
I don't have enough IOT's to make hassio worth it
sand goblet
I doooo
what I might do is get the official 7 inch pi display
since it's hdmi and that works
twilit marlin
why did the icon change
sand goblet
icon?
wet steppe
I have zero IOT things so far π
twilit marlin
ye icon
sand goblet
what icon
twilit marlin
dunno
sand goblet
I don't have any icon on my display
twilit marlin
some icon
sand goblet
it's just white, see
@rain spindle that's OK but hassio is running on the pi with the display
sand goblet
hassio is a linux distribution
rain spindle
Then I just localhost in
Oh. Your taking about that
Well yeah, I just didn't appreciate having no OA configuration
wet steppe
π€
sand goblet
OK then
wet steppe

twilit marlin
yeah, i'm getting hated for that opinion by most of communities, but that's my point
twilit marlin
well, in some it was straightforward hating lol
sand goblet
but it's just for a month and it is an important cause
oh sure, but I mean, I'm not hatin' on you
gentle moss
ol' school.
sand goblet
don't think I ever saw the video
gentle moss
first track on that album Β¬_Β¬

that's javascript
twilit marlin
and, more, why does codebullet codes games in js
sand goblet
how does that work lol
narrow comet
uhhh
wet steppe
where this
narrow comet
this is simply ridiculous
this doesn't even exist yet
idk if it looked like that I'd be concerned about all the water spilling out
or worse, me
sand goblet
I'm wondering how you get out of the thing
narrow comet
same way you got in?
sand goblet
which is how?
wet steppe
you drop in from the sky
gentle moss
:D
really just makes me think about taking the ladders out of swimming pools in The Sims though
oak tangle
wow, he's really showcasing his total ignorance of what's actually the problem with the potential border beteen Ireland/N-I
half spoke
waiting for him to talk about irish PM theresa may tbh
gentle moss
he almost did a stupid in that regard
talking about irish people in the U.S.: We have millions of Irish and I think I know most of them because they are my friends, we love the Irish
he also seemed unclear when talking about ireland, as if he didn't realise it wasn't part of the UK
narrow comet
what
stark prawn
You use helicopters to get into the pool ofc
narrow comet
"I think I know most of them because they are my friends" what does this even mean?
stark prawn
That they know a few hundred thousand irish people personally,.
narrow comet
sigh
oak tangle
it's just filler talk
jagged fog
The supporters don't even realise how he embarassed himself and how of a utter shitshow that was. Look at the comments in the youtube videos, all the top ones are "Trump is a calm, professional, Genius... a total BadAss President!πππΌ Amen.πΊπΈ" , "Donald Trump... Greatest President Ever !! Trump 2020" , "As an American with Irish decent I'm very proud of our President.", "Obama was a token... TRUMP is a Boss!πΊπΈ" and more whack stuff
Hilarious and scary at the same time
jagged fog
and some wtf like these "President Trump only straight talker of all politicians - all others lie and manipulate as well as donβt deliver and look down on the sheep. There are good men and now we are bringing them out of hiding and giving them their power. Watch and see the good men emerge all over the world"
narrow comet
uhh
that's a falsehood
not seeing a greater number of good men emerging personally
I mean, on a large scale in relation to everyone else
seems to be about the same

Restructuring soon to be large flask app
Splitting the flask thing into an api and frontend flask apps
api is a big rest api to connect to & it handles all backend
Then the "front line" flask app connects the frontend to the api
Getting quite a few repos built up now
