a suggestion: when we get troll attack using images could there be a button that a moderator could turn off images for all untill the the troll gets bored. Just an idea?

Ed (dali), Thursday, 5 June 2003 13:16 (twenty-one years ago) link

i forgot to check the IP, sorry: has the one up-thread been blocked?

mark s (mark s), Thursday, 5 June 2003 13:16 (twenty-one years ago) link

64.246.11.102 has been "banned"

Alan (Alan), Thursday, 5 June 2003 13:37 (twenty-one years ago) link

theres another 16063 addresses on 'Everyone's Internet' though, with it being an ISP, they'll might have a different one on that range next time?

gareth (gareth), Thursday, 5 June 2003 13:47 (twenty-one years ago) link

could you explain a bit more for me -- I'm hard of understanding and I don't have much time to do all this while I'm working. What is "Everyone's Internet"? is the poster on a range 64.246.x.x ? (Also, I'll need to see all the posts details before they're deleted to do anything more than ban a single IP address)

Alan (Alan), Thursday, 5 June 2003 14:12 (twenty-one years ago) link

"Everyone's Internet" is an ISP that has a lot of addreses in the 64.246.x.x range.

(I happen to know this, cos the company I work for uses them for hosting; therefore we have servers in that address range)

caitlin (caitlin), Thursday, 5 June 2003 14:23 (twenty-one years ago) link

They wouldn't be a scottish firm would they?

Ed (dali), Thursday, 5 June 2003 14:25 (twenty-one years ago) link

Oddly enough, no. They're based in Texas.

Pls remove the picture on the "Scatalogical Lyrics" thread on ILM.

Sterling Clover (s_clover), Thursday, 5 June 2003 17:14 (twenty-one years ago) link

it's now on the radiohead thread too

Yanc3y (ystrickler), Thursday, 5 June 2003 17:14 (twenty-one years ago) link

i got rid of the pic on the radiohead thread

jess (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 5 June 2003 17:14 (twenty-one years ago) link

eh, there is an incredibly unsafe for work pic on the What Happened To Geir thread on ILM: What happened to Geir?

DV (dirtyvicar), Thursday, 5 June 2003 17:15 (twenty-one years ago) link

i feel a bit ill now, actually

This thread has been tubgirled AGAIN as well.

nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 5 June 2003 17:21 (twenty-one years ago) link

Good work Sterling, beating me to the punch.

Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Thursday, 5 June 2003 17:26 (twenty-one years ago) link

i went to go take care of it, but can i say that i'm really thankful i didnt have to?

jess (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 5 June 2003 17:29 (twenty-one years ago) link

Its appeared on ILE once before the tub girl stuff at that IP address here.

Im at home today so its not such a biggie. But please people, if you post a link to the message itself it can be edited with being viewed directly.
(Just click on the admin link for any message and replace the message id with the one for the offensive post in the URL and you got nothing but html of tubgirl.)

Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Thursday, 5 June 2003 17:35 (twenty-one years ago) link

PHWOAR LOOK AT THE BOLD TAGS ON THAT ONE

Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 5 June 2003 17:50 (twenty-one years ago) link

Good old gaping anuses, who got that post before I?
Bang Part 2.

Im of half a mind that we keep the post and remove the image so we can keep track of the aliases and the IP addresses being used.

Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Thursday, 5 June 2003 19:03 (twenty-one years ago) link

OK, we have about five or six in a row from the same IP. You'd think they'd show some creativity instead of using old old old (like five or six years) pictures from E/N sites.

Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Thursday, 5 June 2003 19:11 (twenty-one years ago) link

Something incredibly obscene and horrible just happened here-- p2p song/artist mislabeling: a crime against humanity

s1utsky (slutsky), Thursday, 5 June 2003 19:15 (twenty-one years ago) link

Tubgirl's getting 'round, she's on the "I hate sex." thread now too. This is crazy!

nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 5 June 2003 19:17 (twenty-one years ago) link

We been dealing with it all afternoon, same two pics, same IP.
I suggest we add a couple of if statements to the code to stop loading of redcoat.net and goatse.cx servers. More effective then IP banning at the moment perhaps.

I Hate Sex link was deleted.

Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Thursday, 5 June 2003 19:19 (twenty-one years ago) link

(Hopefully I will never ever EVER encounter the phrase "good old gaping anuses" again)

Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 5 June 2003 19:21 (twenty-one years ago) link

Can't we just use the GPS and launch an Intercontinental Balistic Missile at Calum whoever this fucker is?

nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 5 June 2003 19:22 (twenty-one years ago) link

Why thank you Dan.

Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Thursday, 5 June 2003 19:22 (twenty-one years ago) link

As I think one or two people on this board are aware, visiting a link on this thread: Song Poems: RFI turned out to be a disaster for my computer, which was imediately infected by a Backdoor.Apdoor.bIŽm trojan horse (jfhwlsg.exe) and a series of glossalalia trogan proxies
(snip)
The American Song Archives is one such rogue site

Forwarding Burden, I and many of my friends have been to the ASPMA site at least a hundred times, including that page, and have _never_ had a problem. I took a look at the source code for the page, too, and don't see anything that could be an exploit.

Are you sure the timing wasn't just a coincidence? That site is a very, very popular one, and I'm on a couple mailing lists that discuss song-poems -- I'm positive that someone would've said something by now were there a problem, and Phil Milstein is a "known figure" in the outsider music community: I'd be very surprised if he's planting trojans on websites. (Have you tried emailing him? It's possible that his site was hacked.)

Phil (phil), Thursday, 5 June 2003 19:23 (twenty-one years ago) link

Looks to be about 10 pictures from those two sites on ILM, 3 on ILE at least including one of each to this thread.

If at all possible we should add an if or switch statement to the 'ihttp to IMG SRC' routine to convert those to a picture of Ma$e or something.
But it does look as if the attack has ended at the moment, I just cracked a cold one to entertain myself with too, ohwell.

Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Thursday, 5 June 2003 19:28 (twenty-one years ago) link

convert to ma$e!!!

James Blount (James Blount), Thursday, 5 June 2003 19:35 (twenty-one years ago) link

If you have a browser that can apply a .css file to pages viewed, (Mozilla and safari can do this), create a text file called something like imageblock.css

add these lines to the file

A:link[HREF*="redcoat.net"] IMG { display: none ! important } A:link[HREF*="goatse.cx"] IMG { display: none ! important }
IFRAME[SRC*="redcoat.net"]  { display: none ! important }
IFRAME[SRC*="goatse.cx"]  { display: none ! important }

save the file and select in s the style sheet to be used by your browser. In Safari open the preferences and select the advanced tab. No more tubgirl.

You can also use this to block banner ads and the like.

Ed (dali), Thursday, 5 June 2003 19:36 (twenty-one years ago) link

sorry that should be

A:link[HREF*="redcoat.net"] IMG { display: none ! important }

A:link[HREF*="goatse.cx"] IMG { display: none ! important }

IFRAME[SRC*="redcoat.net"]  { display: none ! important }

IFRAME[SRC*="goatse.cx"]  { display: none ! important }

It occurs to be that ilx could use css in this way to block undesirable content.

Ed (dali), Thursday, 5 June 2003 19:39 (twenty-one years ago) link

I doubt my browser is new enough, seeing as it really, really doesn't like css sites but that sounds like an even better soln for those with such ability.

Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Thursday, 5 June 2003 19:42 (twenty-one years ago) link

time for a new browser (unless its work in which case you'll have to lean on someone to give you a new browser which will let you prevent the office being polluted with anal fountain pics)

Ed (dali), Thursday, 5 June 2003 19:54 (twenty-one years ago) link

'Are you sure the timing wasn't just a coincidence?' Very sure - I actually witnessed something download, far faster than I could react, although I couldn't at first find where in my system where they'd nestled. I managed to loacte each of the offending files (ten) - all created on the date I visited the site - over the next few days.

'Phil Milstein is a "known figure" in the outsider music community: I'd be very surprised if he's planting trojans on websites'. As opposed to a "known figure" in Motown -- is outsider music going all Motown? I too would be surprised.

Forwarding Burden, Thursday, 5 June 2003 20:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

time for a new browser

OS system doesn't support anything newer, VC++/hard drive won't allow a third browser.

Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Thursday, 5 June 2003 20:09 (twenty-one years ago) link

what OS?

Sommermute (Wintermute), Thursday, 5 June 2003 21:20 (twenty-one years ago) link

Can a moderator delete Jon Williams's needless giant-picture posts on the "Indie Guys With Trucker Hats" thread? I felt that the discussion there, however heated, was really interesting, and now it's a mess.

J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Thursday, 12 June 2003 20:20 (twenty-one years ago) link

Can someone please do something clever and resize the larger than life puppy picture I posted on here

ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 12 June 2003 23:23 (twenty-one years ago) link

Hello all. I was bored and fiddling with the database to see what changes Alan made. He changed the database command that generates the New Answers page so it took 10 times longer to compute, which explains why not just that page but the whole site has been sluggish since I quit. I've restored the page to how it was. I'm sorry the New Answers page keeps being fiddled with.

I apologise for letting him near the server. Is there anyone here who has a clue what they're doing re:SQL that can take over?

Graham (graham), Friday, 13 June 2003 09:49 (twenty-one years ago) link

Well, that was just lovely of you, wasn't in Graham.

RickyT (RickyT), Friday, 13 June 2003 09:51 (twenty-one years ago) link

Actually, fuck it. Exactly why are you such a rude, arrogant little shit?

RickyT (RickyT), Friday, 13 June 2003 09:55 (twenty-one years ago) link

er, cup of tea and a biscuit mr tunnicliffe?

gareth (gareth), Friday, 13 June 2003 09:58 (twenty-one years ago) link

Because the alternative is jumping off a bridge?

Graham (graham), Friday, 13 June 2003 10:05 (twenty-one years ago) link

I am sad to write this, but if we're going public.

In response to worries about slower response times I did indeed try changing the main newanswers query -- I experimented back and forth between my new code and graham's, with no obvious difference I could detect. I was worried about the slow down -- it predated my changes and i don't know where it came from. Graham noticed a difference between his and my code and here he is telling me about it.

I will not access the server ever again. Graham do not ever write to my personal e-mail address again.

I cannot work co-operatively on a project like this with someone who makes it unpleasant to work on. Does anyone else want to try working with graham?
