@grim pelican in a vm
@rough sapphire by fuzzing you mean the generating garbage input to try and get unintended side effects right? Im not familiar
that's safer yea
you're connecting to a network of the most talented hackers on the planet, you need to take serious precaution
With the goal of finding a sexy effect you want from the thingy
@summer rampart that's the โ of it
Like crashing
gist, even, what the hell keyboard
FIST
That's the fist of it!
@grim pelican aside from vm, what else?
Wow gdude is online
As my old sysadmin would say: Also a verb
Oh, it's 0115 lmao
i'm not a great person to ask, i know very little about security and pentesting
xx is the dude to ask
a vm is a pretty good start though, i believe that's what HTB recommends
I guess vm on athe throwaway laptop would be best
you can check the subreddit and discord server for more help
a vm with an isolated network is good enough, no need to go all out with a burner laptop
I woke up before 10 for no reason
@rough sapphire my router is my cellphone 
though a throwaway with kali on it would be dope
I was too busy with my family @tame pier
also, make sure you scan your own public IP to make sure you don't accidentally expose something spicy to the internet
my voice is my password verify
oh then that's good
Did mention it in the announce channel haha
probably don't even need to scan yourself then
@rough sapphire why?
You mentioned you were busy when I checked, wasn't sure what that mean gotcha
Jackbox role when
Haha
it'd be pretty bad if someone managed to capture your IP, saw that your router web interface is exposed to wan, and that it happens to have a public exploit
god the mods here suck
Ikr
Sniped
Plebs
but if you're hotspotting yourself, you should be safe on that front
hahaha
Fisk is fool
there's another off topic name if i've ever seen one
!otname add fisk-is-fool
:ok_hand: Added fisk-is-fool to the names list.
I'm pretty sure the names aren't changing
hahahahah
@rough sapphire ๐ค wouldn't they need to be in the same wan as my router to do anything tho?
!otn s fisk
!otname add channel-names-never-change
โข donโt-read-fisk-while-drinking
โข fisk-im-gonna-mute-you
โข fisk-is-fool
โข fisk-the-tag-master
โข fiskenslaktโs-sjukledighet
โข long-fisk-dm-sessions
:ok_hand: Added channel-names-never-change to the names list.
The names were the same yesterday, and the day before, though
it is now yea
@lime gazelle wan = wide-area network. Unless you're behind a corporate network or some other interesting setup, this means the internet
@rough sapphire oh.
you're probably thinking of lan, which is the local network
No well, I thought you meant like
A city's or country's network
Idk if I'm remembering shit wrong from school tho 
China?
Thanks to entrenched interests and fucking bullshit politics, in the USA at least
well, sure, I get what you mean, but at that point you're already exposed to the rest of the internet and intermediate devices will happily route to you
you usually can't expose ports on LTE devices as you might share a public facing IP with another device and that just can't really happen, depending on your providers NAT implementation
but it's better to check anyways, better safe than sorry
nmap your public facing ip is the easiest way, I guess
Yes, though if you have the RAM 3 or 4 GB is better
Hm
Could I afford to get it to 4 if my machine has 8?
Like idk what the ideal ratio is
Yes
that's fine
It'll only use the RAM it needs
The setting just specifies the maximum amount it can utilize
just download more RAM
Yes
Quick poll: in an rpg, which do you think makes for a cooler character? Guns, Swords, bare handed?

@solid pollen cloudflare?
Cloudflare deliver certificate ? Didnโt know
@solid pollen It's a combination of Cloudflare and Let's Encrypt
I wonder if anyone else remembers Crash Twinsanity
good game but very much defined by its soundtrack, haha
Idk if having a topical chat for async is a good idea
Seems a bit too specialized
Well, async seems like a big topic to me, but that's why I'm doubting
It is, yeah. It's come up before as well. At the moment, I think a lot of the questions we see related to asyncio are related to discord.py and I'm not sure we see enough activity yet to really warrant a seperate topical channel. On the other hand, a lot of major frameworks are upping their asyncio support, like Django will do in their upcoming 3.0 release. I guess we'll have to keep an eye on it to see if there's enough asyncio-specific activity to warrant a channel.
I see
I just thought that because yesterday I was dealing with a guy mixing two event loops in #databases
Has anyone of you tried to follow these guys lessons?
(One sec)
If so, what would be a good follow-up to this?
Should I ask in #cybersecurity ?
@sand goblet thanks for that spotify share, this is awesome
i'm on totem hokum, aka, the flight of the bumblebee acapela, this is crazy
that's very fun to listen to, very well done
Ducks or geese?

Hello guys. I have made a discord bot which I can talk to as a bonus using selenium and the Cleverbot. The selenium has stopped working on my RPi though and I have realized that using selenium is not the best way anyways. Are there some free simple chatbot alternatives with free API's? Just for fun? I have not found any. All I have found are bots to schedule reminders and administrative stuff like that. Any ideas for a way to go?
@sand goblet I wonder if anyone else remembers Crash Twinsanity - I've stopped caring about anything Crash, what with the complete joke that the recent racing game was.
There's a lot of games I didn't play because the let down that was Link's Awakening.
link's awakening was a let down for you?
how?
I mean, it was very much The Experimental Game at the time
heck, even the remaster is, what with the dungeon maker
"can we make this game?" "yeah sure whatever"
it is however an excellent remaster
Do something other than use your phone @robust sierra
i'd rather use compooter than roll around in bed uncomfortably for half an hour
thats fair enough... the light from the screen will stop the sleep hormone production tho. :)
i know, but i cant help it
i tend to get up and walk around for 5 mins.
hm
looks like feeding is done, so back to sleep for me.
just joined this server but it is crashing my iphone and the only way to fix it is by leaving this server can someone let the mods know
maybe dont use an iphone
not sleeping doesnt seem like a good idea anymore...
@robust sierra spend some time using as little electricity/internet as possible
that sometimes helps me clear my mind and/or relax
pretend there's been a power outage
i thought about doing that
go and draw or jot down notes or take a walk or something
play with your pet if you have one
yea paradoxically youll be sleeping less by trying to become sleepier ๐ in my experience itll be a lot easier to drift asleep afterwards, thats all
idk, ymmv
someone said instagram is written in python.. is that right?
that's the website afaik
oh.. hmm
I'm trying to figure out how they host the images and provide fast access
on the app
With a CDN, of course
cdn?
Yes
hmm I tried to look it up but couldn't find any resources
oh wait
found this
One of the questions we always get asked at meet-ups and conversations with other engineers is, โwhatโs your stack?โ We thought it would beโฆ
Yep cloudfront CDN
hmm I'm just interested in how they store images (it says S3) and reference them for each user
thanks.. let me see how this ties in together
what ever
Well there's new exchange students and I'm head of one of them
Intresting day so far
that's an understatement
indeed
what happened
supreme court found UK Government unlawfully prorogued parliament
BoJo was told he did a naughty
whats gonna happen now
parliament goes back into session like nothing happened
boris has said before he'll ignore the law, so now we get to see if he does that... again.
he's said if SC overturned the prorogue he'd just prorogue again
I think he'll be gone before he can pull us out with no deal.
he's got something big riding on no-deal.... i'm sure.
same as Jacob Rees-Mogg
Tho, he's just a tax dodger... and new rules coming in would upset him.
parliament could hold a vote of no-confidence which would trigger a general election
I think they were going to go with a unty goverment lead by ken clarke
or something
hard to fucking tell at this point
i say hand the power back to the monarchy.
one thing that's clear is boris is fucked
before parliament was prorogued parliament passed a law to prevent a no-deal brexit
so...
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
does the eu care about that law
The only way Parliament VONCs it up is if they immediatealy vote in a caretaker government
which would be my favourite world
having Jeremy Corbyn voting Ken Clarke in as PM
Ken Clarke is a good choice for a caretaker i think
I mostly agreee - but he doesn't want a second referendum though
which is a bit of an issue
He just wants to do a Norway and put Brexit to bed
yes but if he were to be caretaker PM i suspect he'd have to listen to the rainbow coalition of people who put him there
all the opposition, plus the recently kicked out tories could very feasibly form a caretaker government
but I don't think it will happen
and we'll just have the election post october
plus the french demanding a minimum of a 2 year extension
uk is that one kid in class who keeps deliberately corrupting the word document to get assignment extensions
tbf, it does feel like Brexit dragging on for years more is perfectly feasible
which means more listening to morons discuss it and wanting to die
What the france is asking for ?
UK to sort its political shit out
i mean anyone with any fucking brains realised this wasn't going to be a short done and dusted process
there's like ~40 years of shared law to undo
that's non-trivial
anyone with any fucking brains shockingly few of those about
hey guys, i wanna know like the main differences btw the sql databases(mysql, postgres, etc).I belive postgres is the most popular, what is the actual reason?
and how is it diff from mysql
except for the syntax
It's a big ask to try to get people to explain that over a messaging service
They differ in more ways than they don't
You should seek an exhaustive list online if you need one
TL;DR (don't expect 100% accuracy): use postgresql for new stuff and use the rest if you need support for others
Ideally it shouldn't matter if you use an orm well
an ORM can't make up for the weaknesses of any particular DB
All an ORM is doing is shifting the problem away from your code to the library's code - which can definitely cause more issues than it solves in some cases
I use mysql because I have a fastcomet account with unlimited mysql databases
okay
Postgre is generally considered the best nowadays
Mostly sqlite with Android dev, but MySQL/PostgreSQL otherwise.
Yeah
most of my stuff is pretty small so i just use sqlite
does anyone play Fate/Grand Order by any chance?
it's a decent VN, a horrible anime, a somewhat decent anime
and a shitty gacha game that I play for no reason since a long time already
Oh, it has some mangas too
tbh the only thing FGO has from Fate are the main characters
the other hundreds of characters are just for the game
never read the mangas, I played the VNs and the game because a friend told me it was cool
she thought I was going to quit
now she doesn't play anymore and I do
-3-
she got into Granblue Fantasy
they're manipulative games that make you want to collect characters in a really slow way :/
it's 5 am, can I die
I suppose you can ๐

lol, Java 11 has a new feature to run a single source code file as a main module without compiling it separately first... anyone have any guesses what the feature is called?
||Java scripting. That won't be confusing to anyone at all||
Really..
@grave phoenix this isn't related to just in time compilation, i mean without making a bytecode .class file
Java scripting
wat
may I see the documentation? I couldn't find it
or I did find it and failed to recognize it
okay, that's what I was looking for
It didn't
@vestal briar Yep, been like that for a while
@solid pollen Chinese bootlegs, woo!
Intersection? Looks like a U-turn type thing
I mean the math symbol
Oh, yes that's it.
wow jupyter is really user friendly, do you guys like it?
Finally, a half-decent meme that can educate you if you didn't know:
Basically a bad request
and bad coffee
Tea*
HTTP 418
http 420: come back later im too blazed
@vapid bluff 420 is used for "payment required" officially
But when Twitter is down for maintenance they use it with the message "enhance your calm"
@vestal briar Yes, some guy (It's Mark Nottingham, chair of the IETF HTTP Working Group)
Yes
He's since reversed and started a procedure to make it an official status code, though
Cool
I can see where he was coming from, but it wasn't well thought-out
people like their memes
Yeah, looks like he jumped into popular libraries and tried to get them to kill it
It's a relatively low number and they probably wanted to actually use it for something
Haha
Maybe someday I should write a django app that can replace 5xx codes with 7xx

Acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire testifies before the House Intelligence Committee on the process & handling of a whistleblower compla...
aw shit here we go
he goin jaaaaiiiil
i read the actual complaint
it's seriously damning on its own
never mind the actual redacted transcript which is also damning
he's the director of national intelligence
and trump did quite obvuious crimes
with shit loads of evidence
So who's going to jail?
well it should be trump
he threatened to withhold military funding from ukraine unless the president investigated joe biden
using federal funds as a bargaining chip to fuck over your political rivals is very not legal
oof
joe biden's son*
yeah and by proxy joe biden
he tried to argue that joe biden was corrupt
and influenced the ukrainian government to not prosecute his son
while he was VP
which is total bullshit
so anyway, a whistleblower came forward and was like "not cool man"
and then people put pressure on trump to release the transcript of the phone call
so trump released a redacted version
which is still super incriminating
like... they tried to cover this up by not publishing the original transcript as they should have and classifying it for "national security reasons"
That's beause it falls under job security and, in this case, it's a national job, so national job security.
Looks nicely classified to me
:D
yeah, they tried to sanitize it
and did a really fucking bad job
since it still implicates him in crimes
That was probably the goal, though, but maybe they misjudged it slightly
Release a document that's slightly incriminating, but by far not as incriminating as the real document
If people don't pay attention, they may say "this isn't so bad"
I hadn't heard that it was redacted, but I have seen that latter line a lot: "this isn't so bad" and "is this all?"
yeah, that's probably from people who don't quite realise what a big crime it is
the full transcript would probably still have some people saying that
"idgi, doesn't seem so bad"
I'm not sure, I think the full transcripts has him threatening to withhold financial aid, which is more easily explained as something bad; it's very openly coercion.
There will be people still that don't get it, but far less
spose
if this doesn't fuck him then we might as well just shutdown the united states
yeet
rofl
someone should fix pip
tbh pip is so bad
it won't tell you that you have shit internet it will give you massive red errors and blame it on the pip version or say that pip doesn't exist if you have shit internet though
how is this setup
@fossil solar Looks too much like a Mac
good eh?
No
:D
I like dock panels. I had mine not resize to the width of my screen and auto-hide
now you just need to do
sudo find / -type d -exec touch {}/.DS_Store ;
@rough sapphire suggest me something better
I like Cinnamon personally, but anything other than what you already have.
mine is also auto hide, if u notice i have my cursor on it to show it off in the ss, lol
im on ubuntu mate
@gentle moss knows what he speaks
show me ur themes
I don't really care, both about tweaking and about people that tweak
I can see the attraction, but I usually get bored with it pretty soon and just start doing stuff with my machine
I do change things that help me do those things
i like function really
all i need is like a 2.5 - 3% start bar (or autohide on win 10) and minimum title bar
I've set my borders on i3 to 1px and removed the title bars
Replaced it with the title of the window in focus in the bar
u guys dont use plank?
okay
$mod+d to open applications
My mod key is the windows key
not the most ergonomic, but it's the least conflicting one
Mine is windows as well
anyway, I should make dinner before my gf gets grumpy
wow
....
what?
6 desktops 
"workspaces" or whatever
lol no
that would be so insane
i prefer to work across spaces rather than with windows
it'd be easy to manage with synergy tbh
what are ur specs
on this laptop?
yea
just a question, when we make a new workspace, does the memory divide across?
why are u using ubuntu 16
And the answer to the firsty that wouldn't make any sense, every process just takes the RAM it wants
^
nope
i can jump between workspaces lightning fast
ctrl + alt + left/right arrow
you can move windows across with shift + alt + left/right arrow
jeez 11 days uptime
The majority of things not called gnome or Wayland won't lag on that machine
hah, that's not even my best for this laptop
My workstation at work has been up for 25 days now
I left from work an hour ago, why couldn't you have been doing this back then :(
No idea, I just keep it on my desk as an ornament
nice
I have something similar to Owez
another question
so that extra monitor has its own cpu or connected to laptop?
I use 10 workspaces
I have a laptop I use for school and home and a tv for a nice big screen
Every i3 person does, don't they @oak tangle
I don't use workspaces, I should do though
workspaces are nicer than fucking around with loads of windows
people use another workspace on a monitor or another cpu?
default on lubuntu is 4 i think, i upped it to 6 because i kept running out
my question!!!!!!!!!
if you have an additional monitor
Hopefully nobody here is old enough to be insulted by that sentence
that's 2 monitors per workspace
rather than the 2nd monitor having its own workspace
1 = firefox
2 = terminal layout
3 = Sublime Text
4, 5, 6, 7 = random applications
8 = PyCharm
9 = Spotify
0 = Discord
Yeah
a workspace is just a way to group together a lot of windows, so you only see a group at a time
so if i plug in a monitor i have 6 workspaces but 12 "screens"
it doesn't have any effect on cpu or memory
so basically everyone who uses a monitor with a laptop ,its just another workspace?
No
No it's just anothe monitor
waat so the same stuff gets displayed ?
No
on windowsย 10 you have workspaces too, with win+tab+arrows i believe
You switch between workspaces
so on my laptop and monitor i can have diff workspaces
yes
So one of them has your shell and your discord idk, next one has your editor and what not and so on
and you can switch to a different workspace on either
and i can plug in a keyboard mouse to control the monitor workspace?
How are you talking to is then
you don't need an external monitor to have workspaces
haha
why do u use monitor
imagine a 2nd monitor as just having a bigger desktop that stretches across both screens
i have a laptop now, and i have around 10 workspaces now
it's still 1 desktop
whats the advantage of workspace ?
and still not lag?
You're not understanding what a workspace is iceman
chat (discord and other stuff), mail, web, and some more for specific projects/work stuff
You're vastly overthinking them
what is workspace
Just a set of windows
a copy of my desktop?
no
It is just a display concept
it's just you show and hide some windows together

The effort is completely equal to when you'd displs all at once
so when should i be using workspaces?
It is not seperatijf anything except the window guis
Virtual Desktops, woo \ o /
They can still interact and everything
im on linux, how to navigate
imagine you put a "1" label on half of your windows, and when you press 1, only the windows with that label are visible
I'm like Ves and I too also have 10
Which Linux lol
ubuntu mate
and when you press 2, then only the windows with label 2 are visible
Idk for mate
@fossil solar Either click or CTRL+ALT+ARROW_KEY_UP
4 is default
im using 1st
well, you can move things to the other ones and see how that affects how you work
i can open the same apps in WS2
or different ones
so if i take example of firefox, i can split my tabs across workspaces insted of clogging up all in one?
NO
you can split WINDOWS across workspaces
not tabs
.<
imagine having 4 desks
and on each desk you decide to put different papers
and you can swivel your chair to turn to each desk
okay in one i will open firefox, 2nd discord, 3rd sublime, 4th nothing? something like this
Ahh
well, you can extract half of your tabs to a new window, and move this window to the other workspace
okay
i like to have multiple firefox windows, but it's messy if they are all "normal" firefox, because when you click a link in, for example, discord, it'll open in the last firefox window you gave focus to
so for some i open incognito mode, as these ones don't act like this
i use only firefox xD, its fast
yeah, if you don't have more than a handful of windows, it's less useful
which is the best browser?
1 - chrome / social media
2 - discord only
3 - GIMP usually
4 - terminals when i'm doing shit
5 / 6 - overflow
i use named workspaces, i create them as i need them, just by moving to the name or moving a window to that name
they are destroyed when they don't contain any window and i'm not on them
i always switch to them by typing part of the name
@fossil solar Personally, Firefox. As Chrome/(ium) is going to be killing uBlock Origin and will make it completely useless.
make firefox useless?
@frosty berry Destroyed when not in use? Ew
@fossil solar Make Chrome/ium useless
okay
yeah, or they would accumulate pretty fast
I've got 10 and 4 currently are in use
now i have 10 or so because i had to reboot two days ago, but before that i had 20+
but then chrome got better and i didn't switch
"oh i'll swith one day..."
and now it's rolled around
cha-ching
being lazy pays off
2.0 brought TABS
yeah, that was crazy
It was pretty amazing
"eat that, ie!"
okay so
Then IE never really got it with the whole ad blocking thing
im working on a django project- terminal, sublime, firefox and caja, how should i use my workspaces
however you want, it's just a way to organise things
yerp.
i organise by projects + things that are always there
when i'm doing work on flask projects i keep a browser open in the workspace next to pycharm
so i can just dip back and forth
Don't pay attention to either of them, there's a strict and stringent way of sorting, first you I'm kidding, do it however you want
so i think sublime + terminal in one and forefox in another? ๐ค
Up to you
okay
basically, when you want to see things together, they go on the same workspace, when not, they go on different workspaces
it's like alt-tab, but for multiple windows, basically
Tiling managers ftw!
wut?
Tiling window managers are pretty cool
i thought my video summed up what workspaces were pretty well
:(
surprised it took so long to get to a resolution on this
<_<
which video
me2, i have i3 laptop
I've never used the tiling function
I usually have tabs
me2, i have i3 laptop
I mean i3wm
wow @gentle moss did u upload that video during this conversation?
Xmonad is a another good one
the window manager
i use i3 too, and i really like tabs, but i use tiling a lot as well
vertical and horizontal splits
could probably be less the case if i used an IDE instead of vim + terminals
but i use it in other cases as well
yeah, i3 is confusing to google for, the ancestor had somewhat of a comparable problem, wmii, as a lot of searches returned microsoft documentation
@gentle moss if you don't say to look at the top to understand what happens, it's not really easy for someone who doesn't know the concept to follow
it's just windows randomly appearing and disappearing
i know that because when i use my computer with someone else, they never know where to look as everything i do is keyboard driven, the focus appears to change randomly
i commonly zoom the terminal a lot and put it fullscreen, so there is no ambiguity
and :only in vim, to close all the other windows
:on for short
yeah
even on windows i'm not very fond of cursors
keyboard warrior for life
this dead cluster on my laptop is killing me though
no tab, tilde or esc
Time to get a new keybard, sounds like
new laptop
this is like 3 years old and it was low-ish spec / quality when i got it
i'll get work to get me one and then repair this one
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
then i'll carry them BOTH around in my giant laptop bag which can easily hold two laptops
and have a total of 6 screens at work
Why tho
hah
Hackerman
i've maxed out screens for my work PC unless i add in another GPU
so the only solution is another laptop
Sounds like you should steal your co-worker's soul computer, then.
"What are you doing with my computer?" "Just gonna borrow it for a bit" "Okay then"
Proceeds to never return it
are all the screens running off the discrete gpu
wait did first gen i7s even have integrated graphics
They did
and DVI + VGA on GPU
i think only some in the range did though G?
idk
and you needed a mobo that would support the integ stuff
I dunno, I had a first gen one that did
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
i know you could get mobos that didn't have IG support
Intel HD3000 is such a piece of garbage anyway
Where Fortnite channel go
My fork knife!
i've had 3 tickets in today from users asking me how to use their software o_O
how am i supposed to know how your financial software / inhouse CRM / whatever shit works?
some people just seem to think any time they can't use a computer that it's a support issue
The missconception is on your side bisk it is a support issue if I can't use my computer
bisk - if you are support, how dare you not know everything about each piece of software ever written, AND how to do their jobs...
then there is the anything with a plug syndrome
we often get customers complaining that their franking machine is broke
and there's fuck all we can do because it's leased from the royal mail, not our problem
just because it has the internet and looks like a printer, doesn't mean it's our shit, STACY
the fuck is a franking machine
It's for franking
frankly i don't know what that means
They add like, postage proofs to letters via a stamp
yeah
it acts as a postage stamp, cancellation and dated watermark in one
so you top up the franking machine and it'll print onto envelopes the postage fee
oh i see
yeah, they send out like
~1500 letters a week

@solid pollen I've heard of it
I received an invite for it but he have school when the event take place
Is it actually a good event?
I don't really know how all of this work I've never done any of that stuff
i got one too, but i don't know that either
i probably won't go though, as i'm not looking for a job
insane clown posse circus?
International Collegiate ~~Programming Competition ~~ Posse of Clowns
Internet coffee pot control
Every day with the 418 refrences
:D
I know this one Russian guy who went to a school that preps students for the ICPC.. to get in you need to show prowess in programming and math..
he graduated and landed a job with [redacted] company.. and on the side also supports his girlfriend (who doesn't even know how to code) to keep her high paying consulting job by coding for her as well o.o insane
hey @coral void how did u make that embed in #discord-bots
>>>
>>> Text goes here
Text Goes here
You can prefix with a single > and space to indent a single line, or three in a row for the remainder of the message to be indented
It's good for
single line quotes
or for longermany line
many detailed quotes
perhaps even command output
It's technically a blockquote, not an embed
I believe discord added it 2-3 months back, drove me nuts because when it was first enabled it didn't require a trailing space, meaning all my >.< faces got messed up and I had to type \'s everywhere
The trailing-space requirement (fix) took about 3 days to get made live
It's neat
yea

People on Android, do you have some problem to connect to discord server too?
yes
latency is very important
is it possible to connect one pc's hdmi port to another pc's hdmi port then connect a monitor to another port on either and use a program to switch between the two?
essentially using a pc as a hdmi hub
HDMI ports in your computer are for output only
the ones your video card or chip uses, at least
I don't think a pc hdmi port could be used as a input
i mean... sort of but not
HDMI can carry lots of data
and even 2 way traffic
you can do ethernet over HDMI, for example
your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should.
Talking about wireless TV do you know a way to send your pc screen on TV without using a hdmi cable?
cast it?
Do you know a good (free) book about x86 assembly ?
no but i have an entire book on the 8084 and 8086
The x86 Assembly Guides by Intel are free.
Or you could buy paperback from Lulu if you want to.
@hollow leaf
It's verbose and detailed, probably not then. :I
@solid pollen if youre searching for beginner friendly assembly do not touch x86, something like MIPS is gonna be a lot easier
MIPS is great for beginners
@tired osprey I want to make (I still have a lot to learn) a compiler for a brand new language so need x86. Actually I already know a bit of asm like registry, stack, instructions and things like that but it's a bit old in my memory so I want to restart from the beginning (or I should say the _start).
In that case I would recommend doing the language part before, usually the parsing and analysis of your parsing results are gonna be at least equally hard if not a lot harder to the assembly.
Furthermore I don't exactly see the point in compiling it to x86 directly, you could either do LLVM or byte code instead which should both be a lot easier
I thought he meant creating a compiler in x86 haha
OMG there is like 2 feet of snow outside ๐ฆ
Nice
The UK is ridiculously bad at handling weather
Tiniest bit of slush snow and it's a national crisis with cars crashing every 30 mins on the news
yeah, the first snowfall is usually not great here lots of accidents but being Sunday it shouldn't be too bad. usually after the first people are like oh it's winter now and drive better lol
is it me or does 27.90 per kg for trail mix seem outrageous
Depends on what's in it.
a kilo is a lot of eats
I'm trying to visualize this in my head cause I'm ordering it online
so i don't know how much i need to last me a weekish for snacks lol
like 0.5kg?
would that be alot?
If you are like me you'd eat 3x as much if you had that much at home.
oh damnnn that is a lot
It's always so tempting to eat 2 full packs of pringles
it's really not
They are just sitting there waiting to be eaten
it's not a lot of trail mix?
I mean realistically you could only eat half a can
๐ค
or do you mean its not a lot of money for trail mix
No, it's not tempting to eat 2 tubes of pringles
Only half a can?
tbh, I ususally don't eat the can.
But you'll be sitting there feeling horrible for the rest of the day
ok ok so i think 0.5 kg should be more than enough
Get a bottle of water and that's how much 500g is
(Minus the weight of the plastic bottle itself)
done ordered my groceries for the week woot!
food is so expensive here
I meal planned everything too
My whole weekend has been purely organizational/cleaning/no-fun
#adulting
also been looking at a new winter jacket I think I found a good one
As a responsible adult you should allow yourself time to unwind.
soon have a few more things on my list than I can
I finally got some time to play games most of the day.
Do need to get some rest from being around so many people all day though.
oh, you have family over?
no, small local card game tournament.
Still about 50 people in a small room though, kind of stressful
I'm just having a marathon of bsg
holy crap 50 people, that is pretty cool, my anxiety would be through the roof lol
I assume it was the mtg prerelease?
yeah
How did you do?
I normally dislike prerelease/sealed, but eldraine was very fun
how did you do?
3/0
Neat
so I was just invited to Microsoft Teams
invitation went to an email I haven't used yet, asks me to make a new account, no biggie
turns out the max password length is 16 characters
????????
are you serious
in this day and age
microsoft pls
If you put a unicode character in a password I wonder if anyone would even include them in an attack
Would it just be invinisible to like everyone
yeah, that's what I usually do when supported
Huh
sprinkle a couple of emojis in there, boom
unfortunately, not a lot of databases have the password encoding set to UTF-8
