@ashkitten ........ was this program create as part of a contest to use as many libraries as possible?!?

@Elizafox @er1n Pretty sure that would kill the roots of the plant. Also wouldn't account for any waste left on the plant.

@Elizafox @er1n To a depth of multiple feet?

@Elizafox @er1n The reason we don't do that is it leaves parasites in the topsoil. You need to bury waste at a certain depth to keep them from infecting more people. The average human health went through the ROOF went we discovered that.

@DialMforMara @Satsuma @LottieVixen @phildini @weird_hell A more formal game might be easier while everyone figures out their limits with this group?

@zyabin101 I guess I could wrap that into an sh file and alias it ;)

Is there a *nix CLI tool to ROT13 things on the fly? So I could do something like "foo.txt > ROT13 | tail" ?

#unix #linux

@weird_hell @oatmeal @LottieVixen @Satsuma @LottieVixen @phildini @DialMforMara I was thinking we give each user a loggin with a long password and have them ssh in.

It DID lead to fanfiction about him.

@HTHR Our Prime Minister, who has spoken French all his life, got mon amour and mon ami mixed up on national TV, while in Quebec AND STILL WON THE ELECTION.

@DialMforMara @phildini @weird_hell @LottieVixen @Satsuma @LottieVixen A server is just a computer running the right software. In this case it isn't REALLY even a server, just a *nix box running some basic tools. If I find a spare computer I'll just toss mint, *buntu, or Damn Small Linux on it and tell it to automatically install security updates. Then I give each of you a user account and show you how to log in.

@phildini @weird_hell @LottieVixen @DialMforMara @Satsuma @LottieVixen Do you have a spare linux server laying around? Sadly, I don't have one. I'll keep an eye out for random computers laying around the trash piles though, wouldn't take something powerful.

@weird_hell @phildini @LottieVixen @Satsuma @DialMforMara @LottieVixen I would note, I did suggest (sexy) masks.

@weird_hell @phildini @LottieVixen @Satsuma @DialMforMara @LottieVixen Not that I know of? I figured someone would just host it locally and nuke it when we were done, and there would still be less chance of it leaking then with anything on social media or email.

@theycallmemo @mona hello!

Arg. #AGQD and #AGDQ2018 and #AGDQ18 all count as different hashtags. I thought you could search #AGDQ and get all three of those.

Dammit, horror games on #AGDQ2018 the rest of the night. Too spoopy for me.

That said, I love how they must look from the perspective inside the game. You are a scary monster hiding in a room ready to bash the player. Suddenly the player runs into your room, backwards, presses up against the wall, doges you without looking at you, then suddenly presses a cup against the wall and fires through the ceiling like they were shot from a rocket.

@cybermeow Errr, extra short form: You trick it into reading one of two bits of memory that are public based on if a private bit is 0 or 1. Then you measure how long the CPU to read that bit of public memory, which tells you what the hidden memory is. Do that over and over again and you get all the memory bit by bit.

That make sense?

@cybermeow From https://twitter.com/gsuberland/status/948907452786933762 So you make two arrays in memory. Now pick memory you aren't allowed to read: if that bit is a one, read what is in array one. If it is a 0, read what is in array two. Now, it will stop you from getting these results, but it will do this before it realizes it. But now it has either a value from array1 or array2 in cache. We are allowed to read those, so get the CPU to do that and see which answer arrives faster. That tells you if the memory you can't read is 0 or 1.
