[00:33:00] Is like 21 freedom dollars, literally Is foss [00:57:47] dies [01:39:36] I think they can actually sue for this [01:39:46] IIRC it violates most open source licenses [01:48:53] It's praying on people who think you need to pay three digits for a DAW [01:57:20] <.labster> Apparently it takes seven minutes for the sonic boom from the rocket launch to reach my house [02:06:23] is mexican pesos btw [08:07:18] lol just finished uploading a changed map and 502 error [08:07:19] nice [08:10:31] probably something I did, per usual [08:14:02] > PROBLEM - mw182 MediaWiki Rendering on mw182 is CRITICAL: HTTP CRITICAL: HTTP/1.1 502 Bad Gateway - 8191 bytes in 0.011 second response time [10:37:22] https://fox.nexus/@theresnotime/113125494198913284 [10:37:30] TheresNoTime: do you have something to say or not :3 [10:38:24] BlankEclair: it's been more than a few hours, I can't remember :3 [10:38:29] oh okay lol [11:16:37] Hey TheresNoTime [11:34:18] god i fucking love that i added mediawiki link support in phorge [12:37:04] $421 for audacity is insane 😭 [12:42:07] what kinda audacity is this? [12:43:23] I know someone who lives at a air force base. Dude knows when and what is currently in the air by sound alone [12:43:48] That's not that difficult tbh [12:44:43] Certain aircraft, especially low flying, can have a very distinctive sound and feel [12:51:05] It comes with experience. [12:52:19] Which you get a lot of on an air force base [12:52:43] _lives near a naval base_ [12:52:54] What you don't get a lot of there is sleep [12:53:32] Espically on USAF installations (also everyone becomes a chain smoker within a month) [13:55:45] will be buying [14:00:13] i live less than 25km from the us strategic command 😭 [15:01:15] 6.5km for me [15:26:53] you livd in the omaha area too? [15:27:12] No, to the naval base, not stratcom [15:27:22] No 6.5km to the Naval Base near me [15:36:57] oh [15:37:57] :P [15:38:18] i have to read more carefully [16:02:39] Something I found funny: I am providing services for a Local Authority in Manchester, and they use enterprise software which allows residents of the authority to submit stuff online, and all of their stuff has come through with the IP address if 10.3.3.5 and I giggled when I saw it. [16:02:50] Shows that even local government sometimes get technology wrong [16:03:00] (And someone should probably fix that on their end lol) [16:19:03] @originalauthority can you DM a bit more and I might be able to chase it with MHCLG [16:20:03] I've seen worse from local councils [16:21:15] If you can't [16:26:55] This sounds a bit internal though [16:29:00] Broken central government and security issues with central and local government in the UK I am happy to take a Quick Look at or poke when at work [16:29:22] Although most public facing services should be open source if you can find the repo [16:31:17] [1/2] Yeah. I think this is just a config issue on the LA's side. I wonder if they're using Proxmox or something lol [16:31:18] [2/2] But I doubt CG would be able to do anything as its private software rather than government software, I just thought it was funny [18:56:36] https://youtube.com/shorts/6lnnq55-7cg [20:24:01] its a barm cake [20:55:23] Is mexican pesos btw, is like 21 dollars [20:59:41] [1/3] I found LibreOffice and GIMP [20:59:41] [2/3] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1284257216123240448/Screenshot_20240913_145714_Amazon_Shopping.jpg?ex=66e5f93c&is=66e4a7bc&hm=0a934c7d20aa05ca153994dd8611e5bbb7e04d7025c943f572200fd19ba088fb& [20:59:42] [3/3] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1284257216571900114/Screenshot_20240913_145755_Amazon_Shopping.jpg?ex=66e5f93c&is=66e4a7bc&hm=8c8a103d96a5a022a31d677c57d62221fb05d023953013267c8d108f8b51d379& [21:07:24] oh ok lol [21:58:34] Isnt gimp OSS? [22:00:06] yes it is, is just some guy called "Pixel Classics" putting these programs on disks and selling them [22:00:41] all of those are open software [22:00:57] so when do we sue PixelClassics [22:00:58] That may be violating some kind of copyright [22:01:44] The "no copying" on the disk is so ironic [22:01:53] Also do people even use disks anymore? [22:02:06] I havent had a pc/laptop since about 2012 that had a disk drive [22:03:58] [1/2] I have a WIFI adapter that came with a disk for the driver. [22:03:59] [2/2] But probably for easily installing those programs in computers without Internet, but still, you can grab a USB and put the installer inside (if the installer is offline). [22:05:55] i found his website https://www.pixelclassics.com/ [22:13:23] [1/2] I tried to write reviews to warn people that they are being scammed, but I don't think there's any chance that they'll be accepted on the website [22:13:24] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1284275766061961288/image.png?ex=66e60a83&is=66e4b903&hm=077366e28b9d24496541de92666a9ba60cc99df2a35211b6c82014d629647ad0& [22:47:06] Leave the link on 4 Chan [22:47:12] It’ll be gone in the week [23:01:28] [1/7] I think I may have just stumbled into a rabbit hole; while looking for information on PixelClassics, I found that all of these websites are identical copies of each other, down to the same security certificates: [23:01:28] [2/7] * https://www.pixelclassics.com/ [23:01:29] [3/7] * https://www.asterforce.com/ [23:01:29] [4/7] * https://pixelclassics.co.uk/ [23:01:29] [5/7] * https://paris-design.com/ [23:01:30] [6/7] * https://www.fawaz1.com/ [23:01:30] [7/7] I don't think that these are malicious copies; if they were, then they wouldn't share the same security certificates or copy the site exactly to the last byte with no alterations whatsoever [23:25:38] suspicious things like that operate in bulk [23:32:28] This is extremely similar to the Wikipedia paid editing sites I’ve seen [23:45:56] [1/5] I've analyzed the websites deeper and have found damning evidence that they are owned by the same person (it was already very likely before, but now there cannot be any reasonable doubt that all of these websites are operated by the same person): [23:45:57] [2/5] * All of these domains have a homepage that is identical to that of pixelclassics.com [23:45:57] [3/5] * They all link to pixelclassics.com [23:45:57] [4/5] * They all have the same security certificates as pixelclassics.com [23:45:57] [5/5] * They're all even in the same registrar family (tucowsdomains.com and its subsidiary enomdomains.com) [23:53:38] iirc providers known for low to nonexistent standards [23:53:39] so yeah
