00:29 * Ali gently boops Cepheid nosie
00:30 <Cepheid> Hoi.
00:30 <Schism> H'okay. This fish does NOT want to be caught. Back to town I go to find an investigation worth doing.
00:30 <Schism> And sell the trade-in items. Wonder how much I'll get.
00:31 <Schism> Hello there. FIVE King Armor Spheres today?
00:32 <Schism> That. That's quite the haul, today.
00:32 <ADragonDreaming> I have those
00:32 <ADragonDreaming> where do those come from?
00:32 <Schism> Daily login bonuses today are insane.
00:33 <Schism> * Sell all trade-in items.
00:33 <Schism> * The return is 348,400z. Proceed?
00:33 <Cepheid> King armor spheres, far as I can tell, originate from master rank limited bounties.
00:34 <Schism> And that puts me above a million zenny. Just a few million more until I can take part in the War of Emperium--wait, no.
00:36 * Ali rolls around, she's bored and not sure what to be doing.
00:37 <ADragonDreaming> special item packs.
00:37 <Schism> Yup.
00:41 <Cepheid> Can't really type in game.
00:42 <Ali> Oh also Cepheid, factorio updated to 18.4
00:42 <ADragonDreaming> hoi
00:42 <Cepheid> So just mention target and I'll gear up.
00:42 <Cepheid> Yeah I saw. Already updated server.
00:42 <Schism> I'm tempted to go after those general 'hunt EVERYTHING' event quests.
00:43 <ADragonDreaming> go for it
00:43 <Cepheid> Sounds fun. Sure. Which one?
00:43 <Schism> Let's start with Ancient Forest and work from there.
00:43 <ADragonDreaming> post and we'll review and go
00:45 <ADragonDreaming> I am brining blast weapon, since universally effective.
00:46 <Schism> Aye.

02:34 <Schism> Quest. 1/1.
02:34 <Cepheid> Right, right.
02:34 <Cepheid> It'll open up after the cutscene.
02:35 <Schism> Slot added.
02:37 <Schism> Do I also have to throw a flare, or...
02:38 <Cepheid> Are you fighting him?
02:38 <Schism> Not yet.
02:38 <Cepheid> You have to find him first.
02:38 <Cepheid> And start fighting him.
02:38 <Cepheid> Such is story quests.
02:43 <ADragonDreaming> which monstar?
02:46 * PrincessRainbows noms on a bit of hay while waiting for pizza
02:51 <Schism> Nergigante.
02:52 <Schism> Ohey. Effluvia Resistance 1. This will SURELY NOT BE IMPORTANT.
02:52 <Cepheid> Yep.
02:52 <Cepheid> So, what's next on the quest list?
02:55 <Schism> Not quite sure.
02:59 <Schism> I've an optional one: Talons of Ice and Fire. I think it's Legiana and Rathalos.
02:59 <Cepheid> It's four monsters.
02:59 <Cepheid> According to Kiranico..
03:00 <Cepheid> Legiana, Odogaron, Tzitzi, and... Deviljho?
03:00 <Cepheid> Gotta be off on that last one.
03:00 <Cepheid> I'm pretty sure it's just Legiana and Odo.
03:00 <Cepheid> I'm game for murdering them.
03:01 <Schism> Sounds good.

03:12 <Cepheid> I'm getting a headache, and a rising fever.
03:13 <Schism> Sounds like a good stopping point.
03:13 <Cepheid> Yep.
03:13 <Cepheid> That said, my mother watched us that last hunt.
03:13 <Schism> What'd she have to say?
03:14 <Cepheid> Mostly shocked at how quickly we killed Odo.
03:14 <Schism> We didn't get in each others' way as often, either.

03:16 <Cepheid> Geezus.
03:16 <Cepheid> I used all the melding tickets I've gotten.
03:16 <Cepheid> I got 3 Handicraft jewels.
03:16 <Schism> Whatcha get?
03:16 <Schism> Oh, nice!
03:17 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, the steel melding tickets got me..
03:17 <Cepheid> Also, these tickets seem to be a Master Rank thing. They're actual tickets you just trade in for feystones.
03:17 <Cepheid> So you can get a ton of decorations from it.
03:18 <Schism> Huh. That's a nice set of jewels I'm not going to be able to use for a while.
03:18 <Cepheid> Couple more earplug gems are the most of interest.
03:19 <Schism> Brace/Vit 4, Slider/Release 4, Fort/Handi 4, Flawless/Vit 4, and Destroyer/Protection 4.
03:19 <Cepheid> Geezus.
03:19 <Schism> How do the Silver ones measure up?
03:19 <Cepheid> They tend to be level 2-3 jewels.
03:20 <Cepheid> Steel tend to be lower-tier 1-3 jewels.
03:20 <Schism> Got two Release level 3 jewels. *sigh*
03:20 <Cepheid> No real reason to hold onto the tickets as far as I know. They aren't used for anything else.
03:20 <Cepheid> Hey, dun knock it.
03:20 <Schism> Oh, they're useful, but two of them are not.
03:20 <Cepheid> Free Element/Ammo Up isn't bad.
03:20 <Cepheid> True.
03:21 <Schism> And I already -had- one.
03:21 <Schism> They're useful for melding, I guess.
03:21 <Cepheid> Upgrade that handicraft charm once..
03:22 <Cepheid> And I can get maxed out handicraft.
03:23 <Cepheid> Handicraft Charm III requires..
03:23 <Cepheid> Xeno'Jiiva gems, claws, dragoncore ore, and...
03:23 <Cepheid> An unknown item.
03:23 <Cepheid> Probably a commendation.
03:25 <Schism> Probably.
03:25 <Cepheid> ... Really? I only needed an Odo gem to get up to Master's Charm III, as I already have all the items to go go from II to III.
03:25 <Cepheid> Meanwhile, III->IV requires unknown parts. All unknown parts.
03:25 <Schism> Well then. o3o This worked out well for both of us.
03:26 <Cepheid> Still, Affinity +15% isn't bad.
03:26 <Schism> Moar Parashrooms for me, I think.
03:27 <Cepheid> Especially as I somehow acquired an Expert Jewel+ 4, which grants +2 to Critical Eye, further boosting affinity another 10%
03:28 <Cepheid> And I also got 2 expert jewels 2, which get me critical eye +1 for each. I can reach +7.
03:28 <Cepheid> Which grants a staggering 40% affinity.
03:29 <Schism> Meanwhile, I've decided to drop a few mats on a Friendship Charm 3.
03:30 <Cepheid> Nice.

03:31 * Cepheid checks mushroomancer skill, since mushrooms work with wide-range.
03:32 <Cepheid> Huh. You can eat Mandragoras with it for a Max Potion effect.
03:32 <Cepheid> Which is impressive.
03:32 <Cepheid> Given that you can hold 10 mandragoras.
03:32 <Schism> And grow them... o.o
03:33 <Schism> Didn't you say there was a change to Layered Armor?
03:33 <Cepheid> There was supposed to be according to the patch notes.
03:33 <Cepheid> But I don't see it myself.
03:33 <Cepheid> Unless it was in regards to the new items added in general.
03:33 <Schism> Strange.
03:34 * Ali hugs Cepheid, hates to be a pest but how long are they going to be up longer? She is only checking cause she kinda needs a distraction if possible but understands if they want to keep hunting.
03:35 <Cepheid> Anyways..
03:35 <Cepheid> I'm actually heading off to bed.
03:35 <Schism> Gowan, Cephy... awr.

13:44 <Koopz> i seem to have the high ground now
13:46 <Koopz> i wrote a cronjob that automatically kills any process owned by www-data and called cron every 5 minutes
13:47 <Lumindia> ?
13:47 * Lumindia sits on Koopz
13:47 * Lumindia brushes
13:48 <Koopz> had a hacker constantly running a bitcoin miner on my server with a binary he called "cron"
13:48 <Lumindia> ah
13:48 <Lumindia> so you've basically just made a 'search and destroy' process to counter it?
13:48 <Koopz> exactly
13:48 <RazorSharpFang> Wait, you've got a hacker on your machine and you're not nuking the machine?
13:49 <Koopz> he's using *some* web server based vulnerability to run this crap on my server but i can't figure out how
13:49 <RazorSharpFang> How about take the server offline?
13:50 <Koopz> yeah that's probably a good idea with 10 domains and their mailboxes being used by customers
13:50 <RazorSharpFang> Oh, you're in some deep trouble
13:51 <Koopz> eh make it 20 domains
13:51 <RazorSharpFang> Was it one of the customers' vulnerabilities do you think?
13:51 <Koopz> well...
13:52 <Koopz> no, not really... afaik the only websites left running on this old thing are outdated Typo3 installations that we once set up
13:53 <Koopz> and we didn't migrate those yet because the new webserver doesn't run PHP 5.4 ;D
13:53 <RazorSharpFang> Maybe the vulnerability is in the old version of PHP
13:53 <Koopz> could be
13:53 <Koopz> it's certainly not SSH
13:54 <Koopz> no logins aside from mine in the logs
13:54 <RazorSharpFang> What makes you think they're not editing those?
13:54 <Koopz> because www-data doesn't have write access on logs owned by root
13:55 <RazorSharpFang> Well, what if they escalated their privileges?
13:55 <Koopz> and if he had root access he'd probably do other things
13:56 <RazorSharpFang> Still, that's very concerning, but at least you're keeping the miner to a minimum.
13:58 <Koopz> if i can trust my "minerkiller.log" he hasn't deployed his batch of files ever since i setup that cronjob
13:58 <Koopz> which was 2 days ago
13:58 <RazorSharpFang> I guess you can check your installed services against the CVEs and hope it's not a new vulnerability
13:58 <Koopz> oh no i wouldn't dare to do that
13:59 <Koopz> i'd probably die from shock
13:59 <RazorSharpFang> Uh
13:59 <Koopz> we're talking about a Debian 6

14:00 <Koopz> this thing really is a sinking ship, i just don't have time to migrate things to the new servers
14:00 <RazorSharpFang> And I presume you're not able to update quite a few things here without breaking compatibility eh?
14:00 <Koopz> if it weren't for Plesk i'd give it a try
14:01 <RazorSharpFang> You'll have to remind me what that is.
14:01 <Koopz> Plesk is a monster of a website and mail management application
14:03 <Koopz> a real abomination if you ask me, having it's hands in most of the stuff running on the server: postfix, qmail, apache2, you name it
14:03 <RazorSharpFang> I'd say it's 50% likely to be that.
14:03 *** Joins: ChaosMageX-HTPC (CMXHTPC@Pony-nc32n2.tx.comcast.net)
14:04 <Koopz> i mean it's nice and all to be able to manage mail accounts using a web interface
14:04 <RazorSharpFang> Gmail does that
14:04 <Koopz> but the way this thing sets up config files that the applications use is just horrible
14:05 <Koopz> to give you an example: there's a vhost where i'd like to setup Let's Encrypt certs
14:06 <Koopz> this version of Plesk is too old to handle generating them by itself and only gives you the option to upload them yourself
14:06 <RazorSharpFang> Wait, you have to manually do that?
14:06 <Koopz> every 3 months, supposedly
14:06 <RazorSharpFang> Wowie.
14:07 <Koopz> there's a trick though: the devs were nice enough to leave the pros the ability to edit specific config files that would get included by the automatically generated apache2 config file for the vhost
14:07 <Koopz> if present
14:08 <RazorSharpFang> It's been quite a while since I messed around with apache2
14:09 <Koopz> the bad thing: Those automatically generated configs mention "vhost.conf" and "vhost_ssl.conf" as those files, but if you actually search for the inclusion of the vhost_ssl.conf file inside that config there's no include to be seen
14:09 *** Joins: Taoki (MirceaKitsu@Pony-7ul.gjo.113.93.IP)
14:09 <Koopz> the dev writing the generator forgot about that
14:09 <Koopz> bug
14:09 <Koopz> now what do?
14:10 <RazorSharpFang> I don't suppose you have their source-code? :3
14:10 <Koopz> you edit the automatically generated file and directly point it to /root/.acme.sh/domain.tld/<here's the cert and key>
14:10 <Koopz> and put a note somewhere to NEVER edit the hosting through the web interface ever again
14:11 <RazorSharpFang> Hmm. What do you think is the likely vulnerability culprit?
14:12 <Koopz> i really don't know... previous attackers somehow found out ftp passwords, uploaded malicous php files in the hosting and requested them
14:13 <RazorSharpFang> Did that do anything?
14:13 <Koopz> well yeah if they manage to upload a web-shell they can do pretty much anything with the www-data user
14:14 <Koopz> but i already checked the ftp logs and access logs of every vhost, nothing like that happened
14:14 <RazorSharpFang> Which user was the process spawned under again?
14:14 <Koopz> also scanned every vhosts's php files but didn't find any obfuscated code bits in existing files
14:15 <Koopz> www-data
14:15 <RazorSharpFang> Something web-based eh?
14:15 <Koopz> which is only used by the web hostings yes
14:15 <RazorSharpFang> Has the miner been found multiple times yet?
14:16 <Koopz> he placed this https://gist.github.com/Koopzington/1241aafcea2b0a2f8f07a9d5c459cf44 in 3 different locations so far
14:16 <Koopz> /dev/shm/systemd, /tmp, /tmp/ICE.UNIX
14:18 <RazorSharpFang> Interesting.
14:18 <Koopz> /dev/shm and /tmp are both locations www-data can write to
14:19 <Koopz> "cron" and "ssh" in the root.sh are both the 32 and 64bit versions of the bitminer
14:20 <RazorSharpFang> Ah, I see.
14:20 <Koopz> hmm... a bash script instantly get's killed off if one command fails, right?
14:21 <RazorSharpFang> No, not usually.
14:21 <Koopz> okay... because in addition to my cronjob to kill the processes i also chowned the crontab file of www-data so he couldn't edit it anymore
14:22 <Koopz> i don't know why "cron.deny" doesn't work on this system so i used that workaround
14:22 <RazorSharpFang> Maybe your system is just that old.
14:23 <Koopz> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
14:27 <RazorSharpFang> Either way you've got your work cut out for you. Is there a reason folk are using tech that's 10+ years out-of-support ?
14:28 <Koopz> because people are scared of updates
14:28 <Koopz> especially distro upgrades
14:28 <Koopz> things are guaranteed to break
14:29 <RazorSharpFang> Okay, but these things are planned. As least for Ubuntu, they have a schedule of releases and support dates.
14:29 <Koopz> and nobody has time to spend a week fixing it while getting customer calls every 5 minutes asking why they don't receive any mails
14:29 <RazorSharpFang> There ought to be a planned upgrade and/or obsolescence method.
14:30 <Koopz> i'm already getting those without anything being broken and our mailserver just straight up refusing the sender server's mail due to them being on a blacklist
14:30 <Koopz> yes, renting a new server and migrating step-by-step to the new one
14:30 <RazorSharpFang> Are you the person who calls the shots on this, or is that someone else?
14:31 <Koopz> i've basically become that person starting this year, yeah
14:31 <RazorSharpFang> You're a brave soul, I hope you can untangle the mess you've inherited.
14:31 <Koopz> due to my coworker and vice-ceo leaving the company in december
14:32 <Koopz> last programming employee
14:32 <RazorSharpFang> What if you also put in your week(s?) notice?
14:32 <Koopz> then my company would be having a bad time
14:32 <RazorSharpFang> But, it wouldn't be your problem anymore, right?
14:32 <Koopz> well, yes
14:33 <RazorSharpFang> I'm more-or-less asking if you're feeling up to the task of fixing what's been neglected for far-too-long.
14:33 <Koopz> i'm confident enough to say i could take care of it
14:34 <Koopz> i just need a clone of me so i have the time to do it
14:34 <Koopz> because currently i'm more or less suffocating under a bunch of tasks that would generate income
14:35 <RazorSharpFang> Hrmm.
14:35 <RazorSharpFang> You'll have to forgive me if I'm starting to doubt the company as a whole right now.
14:36 <Koopz> dealing simultanously with internal tasks that we can't write invoices for isn't as high priority
14:36 <RazorSharpFang> Sounds like you need more staff.
14:36 <Koopz> oh yeah i'd say we're understaffed
14:38 <RazorSharpFang> Certainly sounds like it, and maybe it's been a long-standing thing.
14:39 <RazorSharpFang> How we inherit the sins of the people who came before us.
14:40 <Koopz> everything was fine when my coworker was still there
14:40 <Koopz> now i got work for two
14:40 <Koopz> but eh... off into the weekend now
14:40 <RazorSharpFang> I'm going to express my doubt - it sounds to me like there was some work to be done, that got put off forever.
14:41 <RazorSharpFang> It's "fine" in the way your car is fine without servicing or oil-changes, but it's not fine forever.

14:42 <DokiDokiMagikku> hi
14:43 <DokiDokiMagikku> hello?
14:43 <RazorSharpFang> You must be new to IRC if you're expecting quick responses.
14:44 <RazorSharpFang> I occasionally get answers to questions hours after-the-fact, because they saw the query in their logs as they were catching up.
14:44 <Finwe> o3o
14:45 * Finwe hats on DokiDokiMagikku.
14:45 <DokiDokiMagikku> i know that there will be slow responses
14:46 <DokiDokiMagikku> yesterday I had a great chat on Canternet
14:47 <DokiDokiMagikku> Are there still mods here lol
14:47 <RazorSharpFang> There are. They're around every now-and-then.
14:47 <RazorSharpFang> The trolls are rarely seen around these parts. Turns out they don't stick around.
14:50 <DokiDokiMagikku> I really hate The Last Problem
14:51 <RazorSharpFang> Oh, and what is that?
14:52 <DokiDokiMagikku> Why I hate it?
14:53 <RazorSharpFang> No, what is the last problem?
14:53 <DokiDokiMagikku> The last episode of MLP.
14:53 <DokiDokiMagikku> I think that Magical Mystery Cure would be a better finale.
14:54 <RazorSharpFang> I haven't seen either episode.
14:54 <DokiDokiMagikku> Neither MMC and TLP?!
14:54 <DokiDokiMagikku> When you have stopped watching MLP?
14:55 <RazorSharpFang> Probably season 4.
14:55 <DokiDokiMagikku> MMC was in Season 3
14:55 <RazorSharpFang> What's the synopsis for that one again?
14:55 <DokiDokiMagikku> In MMC Twilight turned into a alicorn
14:56 <RazorSharpFang> I only vaguely remember that episode. It must have been years ago.
14:56 <DokiDokiMagikku> And TLP... It's so bad that you have to watch it your self
14:57 <DokiDokiMagikku> But if you really want me to tell you the story of TLP...
14:57 <RazorSharpFang> I was a naive child back then, those years ago.
14:57 <DokiDokiMagikku> I stopped watching at Season 5
14:58 <DokiDokiMagikku> OK. So let me tell you some of Season 9 so you will understand TLP.
14:58 <DokiDokiMagikku> So in ep. 1-2 Celestia and Luna announce that they are retiring.
14:59 <RazorSharpFang> I will admit though, that since I hadn't even heard of the title of the last episode of MLP, I thought this conversation was going to go very very differently.
14:59 <DokiDokiMagikku> What did you expect this conversation to be?
15:00 <DokiDokiMagikku> We can change the topic at anytime :)
15:00 <RazorSharpFang> I can't even say what I thought it was due to the channel rules UwU
15:00 <DokiDokiMagikku> We can go on priv lol

18:09 * PrincessRainbows licks Ali a lot and wags her tail
18:09 <Ali> It keeps placing them extremely close to the starting area

23:45 <Cepheid> To this day, I still cannot comprehend how vinyl records became popular again.
23:46 <Cepheid> There is no appreciable difference that I can notice between a record, and a digital recording.
23:50 <Cepheid> There's also issues with respect as to the source of the audio imprinted on the records in the first place, as well. Sorry, but I don't think we make records using the tools of that analog age. I'm pretty sure we're just pressing a digital copy of the audio onto a record.
23:52 <Schism> There is a concern there. While a lossless, FLAC encoding of a vinyl record may approach the original sound, there is still some cleanup involved in the sound.
23:53 <Schism> A vinyl record tends to distort, which lends it a dirtier, more organic quality than even a lossless recording.
23:54 <Schism> Because our ears are used to hearing actual voices, instead of synthetic reproductions, this means that in a very real sense, FLAC recordings which have been cleaned up are the audio equivalent of the uncanny valley.
23:55 <Cepheid> I'm inclined to disagree.
23:55 <Cepheid> And besides..
23:55 <Schism> Fair nuff. I'm just spitballing anyway.
23:56 <Cepheid> No sane musician would record a record these days. They'd do recordings to a digital format with a sufficiently high frequency, with sufficiently high accuracy in the data format, and then just print that onto the record.
23:56 <Cepheid> You don't even have to do compression.
23:57 <Schism> Oh. That. Well, that's just nostalgia.
23:57 <Cepheid> If you wanted a proper vinyl record, you'd have to go back to old technology that actually records to a vinyl record. And... no, I can't see anyone sane doing that anymore.
23:57 <Cepheid> That'd be like me going back to 5.25" floppy discs for a game because it's more authentic.
23:57 <Schism> New releases going back to vinyl, nope, that's just folks doing the nostalgia kick.
23:57 <Cepheid> Yeah, but it creates an industry that has no reason to exist.
23:58 <Cepheid> There is legitimately no reason to be producing vinyl records, except to cash in on the nostalgia factor of people.
23:58 <Schism> $Money$.
23:58 <Schism> Yeah, it sucks, but when there's a market...
23:58 <Cepheid> Yeah, I know, I know.
23:58 <Cepheid> It's just... it's stupid.
23:59 <Cepheid> Your wasting space to build the facilities to print the records, make the record players, and you're wasting electricity, and probably materials that could be better used elsewhere.
23:59 <Cepheid> For what?
23:59 * Schism hands Cepheid a small drink of lemon and coke, and puts a tricorne on his head.
