Tavern on the Meta

yea I personally have no issues with that profile, I'm just curious about it :P

Hi @rlemon :)

Came in here curious about something on stacksnippets and am glad you are here too

I am curious exactly how sandboxed it is. It seems like it allows almost too much flexibility. For example, if it can crash the browser with an infinite loop that means it runs until crash. Does that also mean if that loop were issuing ajax requests it would run forever?

I pop in every now and then

I haven't got too into the stacksnippets yet

I have a script that brute forces imgur for random images. that could be fun, and potentially NSFW to test on

Seems like it could be exploited.

lol

7:47 PM

I pulled 75K images and easily half of them were porn

So win-win then?

for bandwidth I was pulling the thumbnail versions

too small for anything useful

If the stacksnippets were used to poll to stackoverflow, would the poll be killed, or would snacksnippets be banned?

Automatically by script.

Q: What is too much self-promotion, and where do we draw the line?

from imgur?

Uhm, which part did you think was from imgur?

i don't know

lol okay

I'm confused

/sits in corner

@rlemon Hah. TMI.

So stacksnippets can run from an answer on stackoverflow. They run from stacksnippets.net. If you place a setinterval that constantly ajaxes content from stackoverflow, and ran it from the answer, would the interval be killed or would it cause stacksnippets.net to be banned do you think?

7:52 PM

no..I am not sure..should we close it

I would

read the FAQ

formatting is in there

> Thanks, it solved the problem.

or maybe i'm missing the point

rene

No, it might get deleted if it has 3 dv

by a 10k-er in 2 days

or by a 20k-er now...

If you close it it becomes a rejected migration which is not good for sure

hmm

7:54 PM

How hard should we try to exploit stacksnippets.net in order to prevent actually malicious attempts in the future?

Dear School,

I know you _love_ to make things "challenging", but does that really mean you have to block google drive, even though we are encouraged to use it?

Thanks.

well the best way is convert it to a string so we can see it and copy it and paste it to see. so a litle script like this may work <?php $file = file_get_contents(url); $string = simplexml_load_string($file); echo $string; ?> this will out put your xml as a String that can then be viewed by ot...

Q: Could we have some spam titles early?

We're scheduled to get some genuine spam dumps eventually, which is awesome. But I just figured out how to run Bayesian algorithms in Python, which just happens to be the language our friendly neighborhood Smoke Detector is written in. What a coincidence! Yes, I'm planning on putting this learni...

@SantaClaus I ran into that once. Made me hate school IT departments for all time.

@Undo I ended up having to pastebin a document to myself to get it from google drive on my phone (through 3G) to a school computer so I could print it.

@Sam ah.

@Undo pokes Tim

nah, I've poked Tim before about it.

8:44 PM

Well, yeah, but... I already poked him. ;P

I don't really want us to be a pain :P

@Undo Smokey's dead.

@Undo What did you break this time?

!!/alive?

Apparently everything

!!/alive?

SmokeDetector

@Undo ... did I miss something?

@Undo It only seemed to work on the odd-numbered computers in the left half of the lab. And only if your student number ended in 4. And only to the students whom happened to bring their headphones to listen to music while everybody else was still trying to get on Google Drive.

8:54 PM

That's why I tend to bring my own stuff against school rules and tunnel through to my EC2 server if I have to be in a computer lab.

(this after I build up enough respect with the teachers for them not to unconstitutionally rip my property from my hands)

Sam

@Undo Congrats with the Bayesian algorithm.

@SantaClaus oh cmon really?

@hichris123 Yeah?

I have no idea if that's actually unconstitutional, it just seems like it is :P

@Undo I need to set up a tunnel from EC2 to my closet server, 'cause I kinda want to know if my build of chromium is still running... :/

@SantaClaus That's stupid. At least ours only blocks tumblr... ;p

8:57 PM

@hichris123 We don't "block" anything besides porn (I think - never actually tried). Twitter, tumblr, etc work great all day long.

@SantaClaus ... then how is Google Drive blocked?

We block things about trying to get around the block. :D

@hichris123 Its not exactly blocked. Somehow they fucked up our chrome and explorer configurations so that HTTPS google doesn't work (and any HTTP attempt redirects to HTTPS)

hah.

"back when I was in college"....

But they don't block anything. But I swear they throttle everything.

Unless you're in history class...netflix works just fine there...

resnet was JUST being added to the dorms. My sophmore year, I set up my own ppp server on the student-admin'd linux box so that I could dial in.
