  1. Anyone who believes that you could do anything online and remain incognito is a pityful dreamer

    While this is true for most sheeple, it is actually possible (and fairly easy) to use the internet completely anonymously and securely.

  2. These meetings are open and free (as in freedom), you can drink what you want, talk about what you want, and to answer a previous question even windoze users are welcome (or Mac). Only requirement is a little bit of geekiness

    Get a Mac and an iPhone, activate all two-steps authorizations in gmail, hotmail. Easy life.

    Oh dear, here we go... only 9 comments before we get the old "get a Mac"... grow up, if you are not helpful then piss off....by the way, all you Mac owners, did you realise mac OS is based on Linux...now, all bow down and thank the penguin.

    not a mac fanboy, but no..., it isn't. first of all linux is not an operating system, it is only the kernel. second, macos developed their own kernel called darwin, which is PARTIALLY based on BSD (i don't believe any linux code was ported).

  5. Just come back from a short holiday in Thailand, any report about the meeting?

    Sure... We met, we drank, we talked.

    Seriously though, it was nice to get out and meet with a few fellow geeks, hopefully next month we can get a few more people on board.

  6. About a year and a half ago I bought a gnex, which at the time was a 2 year old phone (the nexus 4 had already been released at the time). I think I paid 10k baht for it and I was perfectly happy. I dropped it a few months ago and broke the screen, and was lucky to get an invite for a oneplus1, which is a hardware equivalent of a 25k phone for 14k. No proprietary software, no bloat... Just a good phone at a fair price. We are not all sheeple

  7. i'm kind of on the fence about coming into town tonight, particularly as JJ has now cancelled. are the other 2 of you still committed? what about you @oxfordwill? you never said if you could make it. what is the plan and what is the timeframe?

  8. I remember back in the day custom roms for my xda mini, viewpad tablet etc always ended up getting as hot as a burglar.

    I used to pull me hair out, thank God I ditched it and went Iphone/ipad combo.....it just works!!!

    I don't see the logic. Android with custom roms etc or Apple with no custom roms and little in the way of user config.

    For me it became an obsession, was constantly re flashing if somebody came out with a better one because although they were better there was always a problem with the custom like WiFi would work for a hour then stop, stuff like that.

    With ios you don't get that besides a jailbroken ios has far more ways to configure the device than a custom or rooted android and on a deeper level.

    I can identify with that.. I think some of these Chinese companies could do well targeting their phones at people who like tinkering.

    They did, it's called the one plus one! [emoji6]

  9. You did well then, applying patches they haven't released yet.

    How did you patch all three? Replace Bash with something else?

    dharmabm@userv-OMD:~$ env 'x=() { :;}; echo vulnerable' 'BASH_FUNC_x()=() { :;}; echo vulnerable' bash -c "echo test"
    bash: warning: x: ignoring function definition attempt
    bash: error importing function definition for `BASH_FUNC_x'
    test
    dharmabm@userv-OMD:~$ cd /tmp; rm -f /tmp/echo; env 'x=() { (a)=>\' bash -c "echo date"; cat /tmp/echo
    date
    cat: /tmp/echo: No such file or directory
    dharmabm@userv-OMD:/tmp$
    
    
  10. Have I missed something???

    Like Windows 9

    MS has never been logical in naming. For example look at this list, does it look logical to you ? I don't think so thumbsup.gif

    Nice, and 4.0 was NT, as someone mentioned being missing before. That was the 'enterprise version' that preceded 95, IIRC

  11. Ten years ago I switched to Apple. Microsoft is the biggest bunch of bull shit in the world. If people could not get a bootleg copy it would not be so popular. They just keep changing the version of the operating system to suck simple minded people it to it. Wake there is a better world than Microsoft.

    True, it's called Linux! [emoji6]

    Yeah OK mate, take time to read the two running Shellshock threads won't you?

    all of my systems have received patches already, so what was your point? Are you trying to tell me that Microsoft responds to security vulnerabilities faster than Linux? LMFAO!
