@Ϻ.Λ.Ʀ. made a comment.. his question makes no sense, there's a missing part

Simon Klaver

@rene So, which bug should we actively try to avoid now?

rene

choose any of them

What, the deleted:1 in search?

Simon Klaver

We are not allowed to search for deleted questions?
How sad.

Doorknob 冰

that's... not a bug?

A: Arabic diacritic unicode characters break title links

Yup, you found something that is definitely annoying but it's not worth it to fix it. In the words of Jeff: The short answer is "don't do that", and the longer answer is "if you keep doing that, there will be consequences." I'll just reiterate what he said with this:

Here's another…

Shog9

As tempting as it is to mark Unicode as a bug...

Simon Klaver

So basically a bug is defined as: "Any behaviour a mod could want users not to do, for any reason".

some of the reports I don't really care about

@Unihedron you mean by site? I had the idea to gray out sites where you have no account.

Ϻ.Λ.Ʀ.

@rene This bug has already been reported.

But okay, whatever.

What do I have to do with it anyway? I don't have 10k on any sites. (Actually, 2k on ELL suffices, but that's beside the point)

rene

@Ϻ.Λ.Ʀ. Yes, so? Does that make exploiting it OK?

Ϻ.Λ.Ʀ.

I successfully created two instances of drama in my first visit to a chatroom. I should award myself a shame hat @rene. Sorry for breaking stuff and please give this message to SOCVR dudes.

Simon Klaver

Oh, so me accidentally clicking on the link in that chat did not make any difference? (200 rep)

Ϻ.Λ.Ʀ.

@HeidelBerGensis Thanks!

rene

10:20 PM

@Ϻ.Λ.Ʀ. OK, will do :D

Shadow Wizard

@rene this one is pretty hard to exploit though

It's not like reducing user's reputation or breaking UI

rene

I really don't care how easy or hard it is

Shog9

I'm sensing a lot of apathy in here today

Shadow Wizard

Fair enough, I just showed something that is already publicly displayed in MSE for all to find.

Apathy... googling

rene

Knowing it exist is one, using it is something else

@Shog9 We're all blue.

@Shog9 Apathy is a solution to all problems.

@bjb568isceilingkat wasn't it wet wipes not long ago?

bjb568 is ceiling kat

Wet wipes are apathy. Illuminati confirmed.

Shadow Wizard

@rene agree, in general. Thanks for posting the warning. :)

is anyone finding that the whole of the SE network's just become real slow?

Heidel Ber Gensis

@cybermonkey in terms of response?

I keep getting 'Javascript is required for this page to function, which is loaded from an external domain & failed to load'

nope, in Guernsey (so routes via U.K or France)

Say someone got your ISP's account details, and does something illegal (such as uploading some copyrighted material). Your ISP notices & contacts some media rights group as part of a request, & said group contacts your local Police. You haven't done anything wrong, but someone in your household has a BitTorrent client that they use for downloading/uploading legal & uncopyrighted content. In the eyes of the Police, ISP, & court, there's evidence linking you & them to the crime (although you're not responsible), and you (the bill payer) is fined $$$ for something you aren't responsible for. — cybermonkey 14 mins ago

i.e, this:

Q: Router sends password plaintext: is this a serious vulnerability?

Today I went to go & reset my router, but forgot the account password for the ISP. On the (extremely) off-chance of the password being present in the 'Password' field, I went to the appropriate page of the router's configuration settings (which is not secured using HTTPS) & found that the passwor...
