What color is it?
-
Time as a hex color:
-
this i'll have to play with....
-
It's always either a dim green, a dim blue, a dim gray, or -in rare cases - a very dim red.
-
Great, now ThinkGeek can make another impossible-to-read hipster watch.
-
They should have mapped the 0-23 values to the whole 0-0xFF range.
I still see only one possible use for that. @PJH's balls.
-

noted... when i has fun with this i shall have to do that.
i'll actually probably have fun with it in HSV (or other color system TBD) land and convert to RGB because that'll lead to more colors and more interesting patterns.
-
Yeah, circling around H with high S and V would make for less, but more interesting colors.
But that's not the fun geeky 9gag stuff everybody loves because hex numbers are kewl. That's, like, just nerdy, man.

Nerdy â‹™ Geeky
:-P
-
Geeky is that sweet little girl with glasses and a miniskirt who does math well and is kinda shy.
Nerdy is that one guy with white-stained shirt who aced his math class in the first week, told the teacher to screw off with those trifles, and runs away screaming when you try to talk to him.
Filed under: miniskirt optional in that case
-
hmm.... regional dialect difference then.
you got those definitions back to front as far as i'm concerned.
-
That... raises questions. What did you think ThinkGeek was selling, exactly?
-
i had rather assumed it was a mail order groom business that catered to a certain niche market.
-

That... raises even more questions, but I'd rather have them left unanswered.

that's probably wise.

@Maciejasjmj's definitions are, while not exactly how I'd describe the difference, much more aligned with my understanding than they would be the other way around.
-
To me, Geek implies some strong affinity with a hobby, whether that's computers, sports, cars, beers etc. Nerd includes social incompetence and being a bit creepy.

2 to 1 against @accalia and counting.
anyone else want to comment on this matter?

Not really, but I disagree with you, too. @Jaloopa had the most succinct definition I could think of.

IE11 in Windows 10 will not load the page--unlike current browsers, where you can click "more..." to get a "take me there anyway" link, the latter is missing.
-
huh.... well i guess i'm gladd that staradept.com uses a real signed SSL cert (which was expensive btw, but whatever i got it for 6 years (for the cost of 3))
-
(NB: self-signed cert.)
expensive
You're doing it wrong, but at least you're doing it wrong in a better way…
-
Why? It's better than no cert, and since it's only stuff at home that I rarely make public I see no reason to pay for a cert or bother with StartSSL which turn around after the first year, decide that your site is "for a business" and decide to charge you anyway.

Same in Dolphin on mobile, for that matter.

Why not just serve it over HTTP? It's not really like any sensitive data are sent over...
-

Because
- there is stuff on that webserver I want serving over 443
- a different webserver is already running port 80 (a Discourse instance)
-
-
Actually no. It really isn't better than no cert.
So - having accepted my own certificate on other computers (because I know it's safe), if someone somehow manages to impersonate that server I won't get a warning about it when I try to visit my server?
-

Huh? StartSSL free is free even for business use.
@dkf said:Actually no. It really isn't better than no cert.
As long as you enabled trust on your cert (or know it's thumbprint), it's much better than no cert. If you're paranoid, it's even better than a cert from trusted CA, since you can only enable trust on your cert and prevent your browser from accepting a cert for your site that somebody else made and possibly got signed by a trusted CA.

Oh no it isn't. On requesting renewal they emailed me this:
Thank you for requesting a digital certificate with us. However
Class 1 certificates are not meant to be used for commercial
activities or financial transactions according to our policy. For
this purpose please consider upgrading to Class 2 or higher
verification level.
Â
Please see https://www.startssl.com/?app=32 about how to enroll.
Thank you for your understanding.The fact that there were no financial transactions going on that website meant that they were relying on the business use.
They susbsequently linked me to https://www.startssl.com/policy.pdf quoting (with their highlighting):
3.1.2 Classes of digital X.509 Certificates
3.1.2.1 Class 1 Certificates provide modest assurances that
the email originated from a sender with the specified email
address or that the domain address belongs to the respective
server address. These certificates provide no proof of the
identity of the subscriber or of the organization.
Class 1 certificates are limited to client and server
certificates, whereas the later is restricted in its usage for
non-commercial purpose only. Subscribers MUST upgrade to Class
2 or higher level for any domain and site of commercial nature,
when using high-profile brands and names or if involved in
obtaining or relaying sensitive information such as health
records, financial details, personal information etc.
-
Does StartSSL even offer SHA-2 certificates yet?
-

I'd have told them that they were full of shit and flat out refused to give them any money. There are plenty of other CAs, it's not like you can't switch.
If you're just doing your own stuff, single host certificates should be fine. After all, you won't be trying to present a unified corporate image or other crap like that.
-

Nonsense--it's perfect protection: if a browser won't even visit the site, his data can't be stolen.

What makes you think I didn't? I did.

It'd be pretty cool if you could somehow hook this up to your avatar...

My gut tells me that this is possible with Discourse.
-
give me a reason and sockbot will do it.
-
I was thinking javascript and animations. Change the avatar helper to check if it's PJH and return something different.
-
i was thinking automatically uploading a new avatar every minute.
-
-
at this moment, no.
next week.... maybe.
-

Given the current discoursistencies with changing avatars, I imagine that would be like giving Discourse an entire pallet of bottled laxative.

What? No, upload all of them in advance, and switch between them every minute!

That'd require a Discurse change, though, wouldn't it?

vivid imagery. almost worth of @algorythmics

wait.... how do you select previous avatars in discourse? i don't see that option in preferences!!

Javascript magic! @PJH would be able to put it in the HTML 'top of the pages'.
-
$(function() { var oldAvatar = Handlebars.helpers.avatar; Handlebars.helpers.avatar = function(user, options) { if (user.get('username') === "PJH") { // cycling code } else { return oldAvatar(user, options); } }; );
-

So one more reason to try and do it?
-
...unless you're the one who has to clean up the resultant mess?
