Are there really no tools to view raw NBT of MCA files?

#

I'm just looking to dump all entities in a region to restore one from old backup. Might need to figure out Amulet API and write a python script for that...

mca?

Yes, anvil format for region files.

#

From my experience I haven't found any working MCA lib

olive marlin

Ok, I got amulet to parse the entities MCA file.

What the hell are the shoving into dict keys?

>>> d.value.keys()

olive marlin
#

Ok, they seem to, improperly, try to simulate NBTFile as dict.

#

And when you as for keys, it gives you all values pepela

Cool.

Does it have Facebook integration?

#

So apparently with the Facebook outage the techs can't get physical access to the rooms they need because the system that controls their keycards is also down

source?

magic river
#

No source but other people talking about it and trying to get proof

#

^ the source I had referenced this but did not provide it

tropic flame

magic river
#

I don't get the meme

#

Their VPN and internal chats and stuff all seem to have gone down too so that would make the badge thing somewhat more likely

#

Would still be kind of nuts though

mortal zinc
#

or some other bizarre lockdown protocol or something

magic river
#

I wonder if they trigger the fire suppression gas for that

#

You know, the death cloud

mortal zinc
#

lol

whole prawn
#

the fire suppresion kicks in and destroys stuff further

magic river
#

Nah, the fire suppression is harmless to the machines

mortal zinc
#

if anyone was upset by this, that tweet would be good distraction, i've never seen so many companies reply to a single tweet like that

magic river
#

It does a good job of killing everything else though

#

People, bugs, pets, you name it

placid thicket
# magic river I don't get the meme

Just yesterday a whistle blower said Facebook knew about election related things so the meme is that Facebook shut down and ran.

Spirit Halloween is a seasonal popup that rents abandoned or disused stores for spooky month

magic river
#

It's mostly okay to be around if there is no fire, although maybe don't stick around too long

#

Anything with that much fluorine makes me nervous

magic river

If the fire is hot enough though it'll turn in to hydrogen fluoride, that's one of the "fun" chemicals

Forgot to bring charger with me, now I am doomed to be marsed

magic river
#

So a person who claimed to be a FB employee was posting on /r/sysadmin earlier saying someone pushed a BGP change that broke all their routes and locked them out of remote access to push a fix

#

That means someone had to go to at least one and possibly several datacenters to apply a fix directly

#

But then you get the story that their badge system was also down

#

Their BGP setup was definitely broken though, they stopped advertising all of their routes

start buying now

vernal moth
#

Or just don't

#

Because you should invest ethically

#

In good companies

mild rune
#

well yeah

unkempt drift
#

ethics? psshhh 🤑 🤑

mortal zinc
#

so don't invest in facebook?

#

heh

vernal moth
#

I don't think you should invest in companies that try to actively destroy society

magic river
#

So my project manager just casually asked me how long it would take to turn an existing system in to a HIPAA-compliant electronic health record (EHR) system

#

I mean, she didn't ask it like that, she asked how long it would take to build a new feature to store prescription data

golden gust
#

and then he cried

vernal moth
#

Urg, WhatsApp is back online again too, all the people I moved over to telegram will just move back :/

golden gust
#

wait, I can send mini feet pic over telegram? brb

magic river
#

Yeah, looks like it's all back

vernal moth
golden gust
#

brb, sending 3rd leg pic

#

do note you may need to zoom in a lot

mortal zinc
#

actively tries to destroy society, interesting

golden gust
#

haven't they done studies about actually tying to actively like, radicalise people?

mortal zinc
#

i mean people are good at that by themselves

golden gust
#

Yea, but these platforms intentionally aim to stir up the mess in the quest of earning profit off it

limber knotBOT
#

wasn't there a leak of facebook internals regaridng that recently?

golden gust
#

Theres been stuff going back years of them doing that type of shit iirc

magic river
#

Oh I had that BGP skynet tweet in my timeline just below where I stopped scrolling

mortal zinc
#

trying to get people hooked yeah

magic river
#

Didn't the whistleblower say they were basically doing studies that showed they were doing that but it also increased engagement so 🤑

#

They knew it was a problem, they didn't care

#

Although they only did the study after they released the thing, of course, that's how the tech industry works 😄

limber knotBOT
vernal moth
#

Yes, Facebook is actively trying to destroy society

#

Their business model is evil by design

#

And over all the years, there were enough leaks and investigations to document that

magic river
#

Huh, no sources for this other than twitter grapevine but apparently they had a backup IRC server for if everything else went down but at some point moved it onto the same infra the BGP issue took out

golden gust
#

Literally.

#

The first fucking rule you learn when you first start toying with your own shit

magic river
#

And their door locks apparently link your badge with their LDAP service which was also on the same network

golden gust
#

Don't host important "oh fuck" resources on the hardware which will make you scream "oh fuck" when it goes down!

vernal moth
#

The Facebook backup IRC thing is known

#

Like that they have that

#

Apperently every engineer needs to login once a year as a test

magic river
#

For a while today some of them were trying to coordinate via a discord server but it got leaked

vernal moth
#

Moving that to their own infra is stupid, just like the self hosted status page, but oh well

#

I wonder if they will be doing their own post mortem

magic river
#

A lot of domain lookup/purchase systems reported facebook.com was available to buy today because they use their own registrar and of course it was down too

#

Those lookup systems didn't know how to handle the whole registrar going away

vernal moth
#

Sadly non could actually register

magic river
#

Right, since it would have to go through their registrar to do so and... whoops

warm anchor
vernal moth
#

Without thinking about it for a second

#

They would revoke it anyways, but you could have an hour or so of fun

warm anchor
#

Yeah!

mortal zinc
limber knotBOT
#

I mean, it's not really Facebook, it's the people on facebook that make it so destroying society is the most profitable and the society which rewards such behaviour in form of capitalism

#

who would've thought that free market capitalism wasn't a stable system... oh right, the guy who invented it thought of that 👀

golden gust
#

facebook chooses to actively encourage and exploit those activities, but, I mean, yet to hear of an alternative system 🤷‍♂️

mortal zinc
#

jail/prison

limber knotBOT
#

I mean, that wiki social network exists

#

WT.Social

golden gust
#

oh god, that sounds... weird...

mortal zinc
#

btw, that "Hello literally everyone" tweet, yet to see countries respond to it xD

limber knotBOT
#

also tbh some of those FB leaks read like the company is already fighting against their profit optimization AI pushing shit lol

golden gust
#

they do as little as they can to try to rat out the edge case ultra extremism that occurs on their platform

magic river
#

Any social media that has recommendations is to some extent doing the same thing

golden gust
#

they do fuck all about it until it hits that point

warm anchor
#

Man wiki social network sounds like a place for nerds rierunrunrun

golden gust
#

casual reminder that the 6th was organised on FB and twitter even moreso than it was on parler iirc

magic river
#

The recommendation system might have even started out as trying to be helpful but then it got A/B tested with the metric being engagement

golden gust
#

(Well, organised as much as you can organise a room of headless chickens, but, still)

magic river
#

Or in Facebook's case I'm pretty sure they hired psychologists to learn how to tune it to be more addictive

#

They didn't just stumble in to it due to poor metrics

ancient bolt
#

love the new github colorblind mode

#

big fan of the green -> blue change

magic river
#

It didn't seem to do anything when I turned it on

ancient bolt
#

am not colorblind, just prefer those colors

#

it turns greens to blues and reds to oranges

lament patio
#

Anger and fear are what draw the most engagement at the end of the day

golden gust
#

it just aims to get rid of the most offending colors which people are blind to

#

So, if your eyes are already broken, god knows what you'd see, I mean, if you're in dark mode most of the colors are white on X, so, 🤷‍♂️

ancient bolt
#

This new theme swaps colors like red and green across github.com for orange and blue

#

that's what github says

#

can confirm

magic river
#

Oh you have to go change your theme too

#

I figured turning the preview feature on would switch to the appropriate theme

golden gust
#

gg

magic river
#

The blue is nicer but the yellow is harsh

ancient bolt
#

yeah i like the blue but would prefer the red. They should just let you choose your preferred colors lol

magic river
#

Plus at this point I'm trained to look for that darker green to spot the part of a line that changed

golden gust
#

sometimes I question wether companies doing stuff to aid with disabilities actually speak to those with disabilities

ancient bolt
#

uh, probably

golden gust
#

or if they do and people with disabilities are just done with it all and are more than happy to even get minimal effort out of them

#

Well, I mean, discords thing is just to turn everything grey, which, idfk how that makes sense for anybody unless you're able to use light more for everything, which, I can't

ancient bolt
#

they state this change is specifically targetted towards those with colorblindness in the red/green spectrum. Won't apply to all forms of colorblindness

#

hilariously doom eternal has some amazing accessibility options

magic river
#

The releases refresh is awful

ancient bolt
magic river
#

They hide most of the release notes even though it says the point is to make them better

#

It's not just some JS to load the rest of the release notes either, that shit actually goes to a new page

golden gust
#

jesus

#

but, hey, you can discuss releases now

#

Facebook techs spent the day rummaging through drawers looking for one of these

golden gust
#

😄

warm anchor
#

I think I had one of those still. Somewhere in the dark abyss of my basement

magic river
#

Why would you have one of those?

warm anchor
#

A very old printer… waa is that a 9 pin

golden gust
#

it's a typical connection iirc

warm anchor
#

A really old printer that could connect onto your router for local network to discover iirc

golden gust
#

Yea, some printers and shit used that a whiiile back

magic river
#

DB-9 to RJ-45 cable

golden gust
#

I don't think it lasted long or anything, but, it still was a thing

magic river
#

That's how you configure cisco gear

warm anchor
#

Damn

golden gust
#

Yea, used those cables on my CCNA course

#

it's just a typical serial connection more or less

warm anchor
#

They could’ve call me. I will sell them one for a cheap price of $200

#

Yeah zcat is right. It’s just not mainstream

magic river
#

TIL isn't not actually RJ-45, it's just called 8P8C

warm anchor
#

Same amount of pin?

magic river
#

Yeah, RJ-45 has a slightly different shape though, it has a little key sticking out of it

warm anchor
#

When in doubt just plug it in PepeLa

#

Wiggle a bit

#

In my old shop we have so many served cable coz people don’t know about the clip that you have to hold down to release cable dedrie

limber knotBOT
#

when in doubt, use a hammer

warm anchor
#

People are reallllllllly dumb back then

#

Not much better now though lol

magic river
warm anchor
#

Nice

golden gust
#

nowadays the clip is just like, weak af

limber knotBOT
#

they also break on cheap connectors lol

warm anchor
#

On purpose I think so people don’t send entire machine down with it even they yoink them

vestal jasper
#

the plastic degrades slightly over time I imagine

warm anchor
#

Lol

golden gust
#

and they'll often have a boot of "soft" plastic made out of the hardest plastic they could figure to call soft, so even when you're pushing hard they just don't get there fully

vestal jasper
#

but also yeah new ones suck in general

toxic bone
#

is facebook still down?

vestal jasper
#

I hope so

toxic bone

limber knotBOT

warm anchor

I end up using a lighter

#

And melt the outer plastic casing a bit

#

LOL

golden gust
#

if you're in a domestic environment, gigabit is not that importante

#

Like, sometimes you just need to get it plugged in

warm anchor
#

Yeah plus cat5e is a whole lot cheaper

#

Most business customer will not give a flying fuck

rich elbow

aye

limber knotBOT
#

cat5 != cat5e

rich elbow
warm anchor

My bad pheonix

golden gust

smh

limber knotBOT

cat5 will not do gigabit, cat5e will

warm anchor

I was referring to cat5e

golden gust

do places even still sell cat 5?

warm anchor
#

Can you even get cat5 nowaday??

golden gust
warm anchor

Yeahhhhh

limber knotBOT

I had one in a router package just recently

warm anchor

Lmao

tf

warm anchor
#

Real cheap stuff!

golden gust
#

hey, finders keepers

#

Probs some warehouse in the middle of nowhere in which they've generated a lifetime supply of the stuff they've gotta get rid of

limber knotBOT
#

"most Cat 5 cables actually meet Cat 5e specifications, though they are not specifically certified as such"

#

so maybe it will actually do gigabit but they just cheaped out on the certification ¯_(ツ)_/¯

warm anchor
#

I mean

golden gust
#

All that really changed is that they added a thing in the middle of the lead

warm anchor
#

For local network you don’t really need that in household

#

Tbf

golden gust
#

for shortish runs, it's probs not gonna be an issue

limber knotBOT
#

wat

golden gust
#

if you had long runs of cat5, it probs would hit giga

limber knotBOT
#

using a NAS without gigabit speed is a slog

warm anchor
#

I will bet not every house has NAS dedrie

golden gust
#

most people don't have a NAS

limber knotBOT
#

most people are stupid so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

warm anchor
#

Most people only has one hard drive pheonix surprisedpika

You do know that there is a whole world out there other than you pheonix?

magic river

gigabit isn't enough for a NAS Reeeeee

golden gust

oh, phoenix, get a lot of this

#

People use WIFI!

limber knotBOT

I mean

wifi is faster than ethernet

magic river

I ordered an RT3200

limber knotBOT

warm anchor
#

You know people call everything wireless WiFi here in the State

#

Phoenix will have a fit

limber knotBOT
#

I have accepted a long time ago that the US is just insane

magic river
#

I was going to wait for a router that has a USB 3 port on it (SoC supports it, everyone either only wires up 2.0 or leave it out entirely)

warm anchor
#

LOL

magic river
#

Decided I could just buy another one if/when that happens or just get a NAS

warm anchor
#

Just buy more NDMe

golden gust
#

just gonna make a phone call over the cellular wifi

limber knotBOT
#

yeah, using a router for network storage is often not ideal

#

at least not if you want fast speeds

#

really depends on how powerful their cpu is I guess

warm anchor
#

Pheonix do you know this magical thing you can run internet through your power outlet!!!! It’s like magic!!

limber knotBOT

I remember people setting towers on fire because of 5G. Towers that weren't even doing 5G, only 4G...

If they can’t see it, they don’t get sick

In a decade when everyone is on 802.11ax wifi congestion should be less of a thing

rich elbow

hiding them where? are they in microwave now?

#

😮

golden gust
#

Yea, we had one set up in flames somewhere within this kinda region

warm anchor

You mean bots on Facebook? surprisedpika

#

Never before seem surprisedpika

magic river
#

I think some nations use their firewalls to DDoS things they don't like

#

You post winnie the pooh images? Weird, someone misconfigured China to send facebook.com traffic to your home computer

nimble depot
#

and you mentioned river crabs, twitter is going there too

magic river
#

I'm sure some botnets use facebook for C&C too, yeah

#

Easier than trying to hide an IRC server

nimble depot
#

Now a days matrix is all the rage for C&C

#

I been monitoring a few of those for a while, they do a damn good job of hiding what's actually pulling the strings

#

I seen discord used as C&C for some malware too. It's actually a clever idea because Discord would not be suspicious unlike a random host in, let's say DPRK

magic river
#

Use multiple C&C mediums and have the bots themselves distribute the message between them

#

Now you have to find all of them and figure out which one it came from

nimble depot
#

that would be pretty hard to implement and make sure it is robust

#

I seen poor implementations where taking control over one bot lets me have full control over the entire thing

magic river
#

Signature verification and a counter should stop any hijacking or replay attacks

nimble depot
#

would be one mess to keep it in sync tho and keeping track of who has who to avoid broadcasting it to the entire thing over and over

#

and after all, everyone just skids mirai and calls it a day.

rich elbow
#

and updating medium support if you use exotic stuff like discord

#

it's not like IRC where u implement proto and ur done for good more or less lol

nimble depot
#

IRC has it's own issues too.

rich elbow
#

https, support for generic forum scripts like phpbb, vbul, xenforo, ... and have them "exchange private messages" on forums all over the internet

#

tho it might be difficult to scale

#

as bonus u have tons of dead forums on internet that could be used and abused

nimble depot
#

Yeah that would work, and then some basic (let's say TOR, service to update then with what forum to use or push new scripts)

I still don't have a fucking clock on my second monitor either

#

My main monitor is usually showing something full screen so my desktop basically just doesn't have a clock anymore

serene bolt

the 11 taskbar not having a clock on non primary monitors is god awful

magic river

No clock, no volume control, etc

#

Wasnt that also not a thing on 10?

serene bolt
#

it was with windows 10, not with earlier versions pretty sure

#

windows 7 definitely not

magic river
#

I was using some utility to get it on 7 and I think 8 but I'm pretty sure that was built in to 10

serene bolt
#

windows 10 was the first version to add a clock to other monitors

#

most people used displayfusion to add it on old windows

windows 11 is meh

definitely will be holding off for a year, but I do that with any new windows release anyways

TIL one time Google had a smartcard needed to boot an HSM stored in a safe but the safe combination was stored in a secret manager encrypted using the HSM

#

When shit hit the fan they had to cut the safe open

magic river
#

On call guy was in NYC and didn't have a smartcard there, coworker in Australia couldn't get it out of the safe, coworker in Cali remembered their safe combination but their smartcard was broken. They took a power drill to the safe in Australia to get it open and then learned it was broken too!

#

Turns out both of them were putting the card in backwards

#

It's the beginning of the first chapter

#

Guy in NYC didn't know what he was doing and rebooted the HSM which is what broke it

Looking fine so far on my surface, but I can imagine it scaling horribly on any 4k monitor if you have a dozen of icons there

i guess i can do this which is semi cursed

taskbar on the side is fucking disgusting

serene bolt

the taskbar in 11 is literally a downgrade from 10 in many ways

it looks nice

but that's about it

twin lagoon

that basically sums up the entire w11 experience

warm anchor
#

This is clearly superior experience Michael

#

why would they get rid of positioning

serene bolt

I hate taskbars that are like that but I know quite a few people use it like that, which is even more surprising that they just axed it entirely

warm anchor

I been using it like this since forever

It's not that their doors lock dependent on FB being up, it's probably more like one of their internal services is a common access system that you scan your ID to get into a room

magic river
#

ATs, mojmap, and an effort to write patches that are minimal diff and try to avoid the kind of changes that cause conflicts could make updating to snapshots a possibility

#

Well, I could see doing it with CraftBukkit anyway

#

Spigot and especially Paper do some much more invasive changes

#

It'd probably be a full time job to keep even CraftBukkit up with snapshots though

#

It was a full time job for Dinnerbone to do it for betas back in the day :p

ancient bolt
#

doing it iteratively would help, handle the changes in smaller chunks

#

mojmap will also help a lot

#

right now spigot tooling both cannot be trusted and is not open at all, so we likely won't be able to do any of that as long as we're based on spigot

#

best we could do is do the spigot update ourselves guessing how md_5 would handle the situations which come up

#

but then that means when spigot does release, we gotta go back and remember to check everywhere to see how wrong we were

#

still it could be done. I just don't think anyone wants to go through all of that dealing with anything spigot

#

once it's all on paper I have no doubt people will be lining up to work on that
