Hufflepuff found a way to ?confuse? our server, and made it give out a decrypted server seed that was also an active seed.

Tue Jun 23 16:34:47 UTC 2015 <mod6> the Gentoo patches for gcc 4.8.4 changed during this interval from v1.5 to v1.6. Nothing special here. Wonder if there are this many changes to old ebuilds all the time?
Mon Jun 22 19:44:33 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> a decade passes, and the thirteen year old is confronted with the sad circumstance that hanna likes basketball players and rachel likes football players, and to become either you gotta talk to the respective coach, and the coach says you gotta spend all your time practicing. well... he can't readily spend all his time twice over.

Sat May 30 17:38:54 UTC 2015 <asciilifeform> think of it this way (possibly paraphrasing old thread.) imagine you discovered a cache of plutonium bricks in your back yard.
