Must... resist... temptation... to deploy... death spike...
12:04
<@TheWatcher>
Death spike?
12:58
<@gnolam>
This API has a function that could impale the hapless operator if used unwisely.
12:58
<@gnolam>
The API docs are, as usual, woefully inadequate, but even they state that it should be used "with the utmost caution", if ever.
12:59 * Emmy spikes gnolam a little
12:59
<@gnolam>
Given that the machine that it controls is... down in Europe somewhere... and I have no idea if anyone is nearby, I'm thinking I should probably hold off on implementing it. For now.
13:01
< Emmy>
naughty! no haxxing!
13:02
< Emmy>
i'm assuming this is not a public api though, so why would it be so problematic?
13:04
< Emmy>
also, i'm a little unclear, is this a *literal* impalement, or digitial?
13:07
<@TheWatcher>
You do get to work on the most interesting things, gnolam.
13:27
< Emmy>
Well, they never said it was work...
13:45
< Emmy>
Ooh, i got a delivery yesterday, and they used bubblewrap~
13:46
< Emmy>
the good kind of bubblewrap~
13:49 * Emmy pop pop pops
14:13
<@gnolam>
Emmy: literal impalement.

ooh gory~
15:37
< Emmy>
...why does a device like that have an api?
15:40
< abudhabi_>
Internet of Things. :V
15:43
< Emmy>
yeaaa... I'm still a firm believer of the adage "don't put internet on things you're not comfortable with being handled by your retard neighbour kid"

(gnolam does industrial control stuff, he probably has intranet type access to it)

16:55 * TheWatcher eyes nuclear.eu, eyes the html on the site, very seriously doubts that message

You know how it is, "Internet of Things" is short for "Internet of Things that Shouldn't be on the Internet". :)
16:57
<@TheWatcher>
It appears to be utterly unchanged since 2013, and may be since 2006...
17:57
< Emmy>
XD
18:28
<@gnolam>
Emmy: It's not a web API (darned kids, get off my lawn!). It's a regular local driver that communicates with external hardware over RS-232. I have remote access to the computer it's on though.
18:30
<~Vornicus>
what the hell does the "impale the operator" button do when it's not a massive health and safety violation
18:31
<@gnolam>
Punch holes in things.
18:32
<@gnolam>
Normally initiated by the operator by a button on the actual machine, because they presumably know not to do it when they are in its way.
18:34
<~Vornicus>
of course
18:34

18:41
<@gnolam>
And while it shouldn't really be a problem to add a software button as well (again: they should know when they're not in the way), I'm not going to try testing it remotely on a machine I can't see with my own eyes, because *I* don't know if there are people in the way.
18:43
<@gnolam>
... dammit.
18:43
<@gnolam>
I need to find out what the actual punch is made of.
18:43
< abudhabi_>
18:45
<@gnolam>
So that when viewing the hardware info, instead of "Has hole punch" listed in its capabilities, it says "Menaces with spikes of tungsten carbide" or whatever.
18:46
< abudhabi_>
Strike the Earth!
18:47
< Emmy>
gnolam, ah, pfew, that makes more sense
18:55
< Emmy>
personally, i vote for making it the 'osha violator' button
19:12
<@gnolam>
Well, I could become the first person to fulfill that bash quote and actually stab someone in the face over the internet...
19:39
< Emmy>
PoIPAAS?
20:03
<@gnolam>
PoIP?
20:07
< abudhabi_>
Punch over IP.
20:07
< abudhabi_>
As a service.
20:12
<@gnolam>
Ah.
20:13
<@gnolam>
Have woken up at 04:00-04:30 three nights in a row, so my brain is pretty much mush by now.
20:18 * Emmy offers a blender to gnolam

Emmy: if I ever start a sex toy business, I'm going to sell a strap-on with a little hardhat on and a painted-on safety vest called the "OSHA Violator".
22:08
< Emmy>
hehehe
