@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ I feel violated.

Not by me; I am merely a vessel

~o-o~

(^ that's glasses)

Hey baby. You're quite the ... spectacle

@Bart groan

Curvy

mission accomplished

This isn't gonna get awkward

What makes you say so? :P

It already was :P

Tavern on the Awkward

The Awkward Tavern :P

@Bart Well we found your weakness

need off-topic question >_<

Why can't a gray pony find a spammer when it needs one?

@Derpy I can go and ask a "why do we need a downvote feature when we have close votes?" if you want

@Derpy This is so annoyingly lacking an "n"

I wanna reach out to the screen and correct it

@Derpy What do you need a spammer or off-topic question for?

@Tinkeringbell test Chuncai off-topic canned comments.

also, unrelated.

Ah. Just wait, something will turn up :)

@Tinkeringbell @JourneymanGeek would you two get mad if I asked the room to switch to Pig Latin until @M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ lowers his spelling-correctness standards?

Hmmm. I mean, we did Caps lock day :P

I think as long as you can get the room to go along with it, and aren't seriously hindering other, serious, discussions...

Also, be careful with new users, don't make them feel mocked ;)

Can moderators view deleted comments in chat (not on the site)?

Yes, we can see deleted chat messages, why?

Pure and innocent curiosity.

pure and innocent, huh :P

"pure and innocent" + forest = ERROR: DOES NOT COMPUTE

@Derpy IX NAY ON THE BIG SAY!

@forest yes, unless we make it that we don't

got it

so if you need something gone gone, like a wrongly typed in password, get a mod first

(or edit, then call a mod...)

No it's fine. I was just curious.

I have sad tidings today. I will be, at least partially, working with the co-worker, at least in January, too :(

this was a fun watch

Apparently the support for our mailserver software recommends that we disable password hashing

and instead save passwords in a normal reversible encryption

ha

some support

Apparently, support over here doesn't read, write or speak Dutch :/

They have some simplified smtp auth mechanism called apop cram md5 and for that to work you need to disable irreversible password hashing

And the support engineer says even though you're already using TLS for coms that is necessary

@Tinkeringbell I almost want to make a joke about y'all never colonising india, but its unfunny in many ways

I kinda like that remark already though :P

Perhaps we should've, huh?

well you tried malaya

and the brits kinda sneakily took half of it

@Magisch Sounds like you're working on a project just as fun as mine.

With just as many, if not more, best practices ;)

they got us for 350 years 😲

and myself

@andmyself I must admit I'm not that up to date on what we did and didn't colonize, or for how long. ;)

... waiting for Twitter to notice the Sailor Moon question on the HNQ list...

@Derpy why would twitter care?

> I saw a question on SE that implies that not-straight couples have to be censored in media!!!

considering the past, totally possible for something like this to happen

the rule of probabilities speaks against that

there is something with the potential to almost every day, but nobody cares that much

and online outrage has harsh diminshing returns

I agree, if by probability you mean "no one crazy enough will notice it before it is gone"

I think it's time to stop trying to defend SE from Twitter, and just make it a good place in general ;) All this 'but Twitter' is getting a bit... tiring ... when you see the same behaviour on SE.

@Tinkeringbell 's reaction to reading "twitter" in the tavern

listening to the parrot's tweet

one spammy profile, two spammy profiles, three spammy profiles, four spammy profiles, five spammy profiles...

six spammy profiles, seven spammy profiles....

do the 10k moderator tools include some tool to act on these profiles?

nope

and moderators are advised not to either unless they actually post spam

@Magisch A bit yeah... But it's the same everywhere on SE ;)

@ArtOfCode there have been some discrepancies on this very claim. Ask the dog

Those profiles get indexed by search engines and in turn damage our reputation.

@Derpy 10k moderator tools are useless against user accounts...

@andmyself Yep, I've assumed too. Will have to steal the parrot diamond then.

weird.... the canned off topic closure message it TOO LONG?

aaaah, so they cheat on the links, using relative ones. Good to know.

The title of this question was edited, but I'm not sure it was an improvement.

pretty sure the meaning has been changed...

That made no sense at all...

I agree that it's better now

hail the parrot! :D

@Derpy I'm on mobile now. But I've always been taught not to destroy unless there's posts, too.

@ArtOfCode not exactly

They're not encouraged to, but they're not encouraged not to. It's just usually not worth the effort (although my data disagrees with that).

If, it's possible to be automated...

DROP TABLE Users

lol

The horror

@ArtOfCode So neat

@ArtOfCode that is too bad it is gone all wrong. Just keep them for yourself and make a new batch ...

@rene right? Shame really, but I can't go giving people substandard Christmas presents

exactly, call me if you need help processing that first batch ...

Ginger?

Chocolate

Wasn't the parrot addicted to chocolate? isn't it torture to openly display these cookies?

CHOCOLATE!

I'm not addicted. I can't be. Too much chocolate gives me rashes :(

And my medication gives me high cholesterol and blood sugar, can't afford extra

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ Your life seems no fun at this time. Lots of learning, no chocolate (nor any other sugary stuff, it seems...)

Welcome to the Tavern, where people complain :P

Quite the contrary, in fact

I feel alive again

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ I know, you pointed it out a few times ;) :P

Luckily not all the deliciousness in the world is high-calorie carbs

@Tinkeringbell And you still don't know how to cook celery

Or was it tomato paste?

GET OUT OF MY HEAD

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ I still don't like tomatoes, right. :P

I think I do know how to cook celery, I think I cooked and ate a dish with celery when in university ;)

Curse you doggie, he impedes my comprehension and anything I learn when he's around is borked

Not liking tomatoes is probably a bigger issue though, BTW

All those antioxidants

I don't rust :P

Perhaps when I ever need a hip replacement

Says me :)

And guess what? No one knows me better than me! :D

Our bodies are constantly rusting and de-rusting

@Tinkeringbell All the spy cams say otherwise O.O

OK, back to the back

Book

Dangit

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ Heh. There's this Dutch television thing called HuntedNL. People basically try to run and hide from a police task force. The one episode I saw had me squealing from excitement and wanting people to win. Now I'm going to wait until they've all been aired, and binge-watch them :D

But yeah, that show really shows you how many camera's there are, and what kinds of massive trails you leave in your daily life.

The Hunger Games in real life

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ Good luck!

@Mithrandir Sort of. It's a really, really cool show!

Is there parkour involved? :P

It's one of those where you know it's just a show, but also one that comes with rules like 'if you do particpate by e.g. hiding one of the refugees, we're allowed to treat you like an accomplice and place you under arrest'. Which leads to funny situations, like people being 'oh shit, I'm supposed to go on holiday tomorrow!'

@Mithrandir Mmm. Probably not, at least not in the episode I saw. There was some running though!

So... a TV show can get you arrested.

This sounds cool and really weird at the same time

'arrested'.

I don't think it'll lead to a criminal case, but I think they can at least make you sit out a few days/weeks somewhere

Let me see if I can dig up something

Okay, so it's a team of (ex) detectives, employees of the intelligence agency and a cyber unit, and your job is to stay out of their reach for three whole weeks.

So I'm guessing from what I've seen that they can at least keep you locked up for the duration of the rest of those three weeks, if they want to

On a side note, I'd totally like to try and help someone, then with some mad hacker skills delete the entire trail (don't worry, I can't :( ). Basically, be a bad guy for a week or two :P. But beforehand make sure the boss knows I might disappear for a few weeks for 'vacation' so I won't get into trouble at work XD

heh!

Just made a few of them

Need help with those?

No,no that's cheating. You can't post the same picture twice!

I suppose the sorta daily photo is off from me, at least until the weather clears up...

@Tinkeringbell different pictures... there's only like 50 in the first shot, the second one has all 150

Not for long

Enjoy them!

@ArtOfCode are they for sale? ;)

@ShadowWizard nope, they're for presents :P

(also they probably wouldn't survive international postage... so there's that)

150 presents??? Dude you got lots of friends!! :P

@ArtOfCode might freeze a bit in the airplane cargo area but this will be fine. ;)

we just finished adding labels and stamps to 2200 cards

@KevinB marriage?

Oh lol

the machine we usually use to do it brokeded

@ShadowWizard Ya think I'm giving em 1 each? :P

Yup

Wrapped with a ribbon... :P

@Mithrandir or the opposite. Some TV shows try to get convicted murderers out of jail by reopening their case and bringing new evidence the police "missed". Going to be exactly such case this week in the TV show עובדה. :)

@Derpy no

2200? I don't think I even know that many people. I only sent 30 cards.
