Expresate

I mean, the same goes for government. I'm a "member" of the EFF and even though support is currently for the Title II classification to remain, just a few years ago they were bringing the FCC to court over their previous attempt at the "Open Internet Order," claiming it was too overreaching. I support net neutrality, and also the Title II classification, but people have a legitimate argument when they express fear of potential regulatory misuse. Maybe it's an argument that's mostly relevant in the US.

You can say that again

Please expand on this. Do you mean Title II or do you mean the concept of net neutrality? Would you prefer organizations pick and choose what content you see on the web and how fast you can access it? A lot of people seem to think that the regulation IS net neutrality, and because a regulation is bad, net neutrality is bad.

As someone who now plays with Volt, I like.

i wish food made me happy

What would you consider a good bit? 800?

I got it to work and got around to about 15k. Then they vote kicked me for idling :/

That's... worrying.

Does this still work? I tried it for kicks n giggles, but notta.

so many pyros. And I'm one of them. Hmmpph.

Have you stabbed anybody over Teriyaki sauce in the past year?

My local amateur radio club added me to their mailing list. Now, I don't see the need for passwords on mailing lists, generally. It seems in this case it hides who else is on the list. That's all well and good. But consider the following: 1. The server generates a password for you 2. It emails your password to you in plain text 3. The email is unencrypted 4. It continues to do so every month S E C U R I T Y

If he hasn't stabbed anybody over limited edition corporate promotions, then he's not welcome here.

I am become Ham.

But everyone knew it. It was glorious.

I'll just sit here and quietly mourn the death of ggnore

Hiya folks. I didn't see a topic on this, so I thought I would start one. Many of you may already know. I'm also a little late to the party (news was broken on Monday by Cisco Talos). If you downloaded version 5.33 of CCleaner recently, you also downloaded a multi-stage payload on top of it. It looks like it was a watering hole attack, so it's unlikely the payload will DO anything to you (they were supposedly targeting big tech giants, including Cisco themselves), but you still don't want a mysterious malware backdoor on your PC. Cisco recommends you not only uninstall CCleaner, but also re-image your machine (or just restore to a date prior to August 15th). If you really want to keep CCleaner, then update to 5.35 immediately. Thank god I didn't install that update (still on 5.23). More info: http://blog.talosintelligence.com/2017/09/avast-distributes-malware.html http://blog.talosintelligence.com/2017/09/ccleaner-c2-concern.html http://www.techrepublic.com/article/ccleaner-hackers-attacked-microsoft-intel-cisco-and-other-tech-giants/ https://www.pcworld.com/article/3225407/security/ccleaner-downloads-infected-malware.html

Yep. My trust in Piriform/Avast is shaken, though. " During the installation of CCleaner 5.33, the 32-bit CCleaner binary that was included also contained a malicious payload that featured a Domain Generation Algorithm (DGA) as well as hardcoded Command and Control (C2) functionality" -Talos I think the regular installer comes with a 32 bit binary as well. There's nothing in Talos' rundown that suggests only 32bit systems were at risk. That would be pretty silly for malware designed to target tech giants.

I actually think our mods handle the war room pretty well, all things considered. (except for the BS infraction that Brain got.) Not even being sarcastic. The Binocracy is the only way that matters, though. To be honest, it sounds like they're just trying to avoid the shitstorm that is the rest of the internet, but are failing hilariously.

Yep. Chances are there's an amateur radio society in your town/city/village. If you're interested, I'd look in to it as they probably host courses, or at the least are willing to help someone get started in their favorite hobby. It's just an exam for a license, and you get to operate on all/some HF channels depending on country/license class.

QGTG

I'm starting a ham radio course tomorrow. Afternoons on Tuesdays for a few weeks. Then a test for a license! I will enter a man, and leave a 60something dude from Minnesota. I'm looking at the prep material, and these are some codes that are "commonly used." QRS – Send more slowly QRL – Is the frequency in use QRM – Interference QRN – Static QRX – I will call again QRZ – Who is calling QSB – Signal Fading QSL – That is correct – OK – Yes QSY – Change Frequency QTH – My location is It'd be nice if the acronym even remotely correlated with what their meaning is.

words of wisdom

Yep. Here's hoping Hide Fedora gets fixed. I checked the guy's twitter and he's aware, anyway.

can they outsource Bethesda's QA to libraryofbabel.info? Surely there's a perfect game code in there somewhere. Yes, I have been a heavy mod user since Oblivion.
