Anyone know how I can track down what processes are performing disk writes?
00:22
<@Derakon>
My computer's not doing anything much right now but I can hear the disk going.
00:23
<@ToxicFrog>
Hmm
00:23
<@ToxicFrog>
lsof will tell you which processes have open files
00:24
<@Derakon>
But not if they're doing anything with them?
00:24
<@ToxicFrog>
Yeah
00:24
<@ToxicFrog>
Your local process manager may have something for IO
00:24
<@Derakon>
Activity Monitor will show data read/written, but not which processes are responsible.

I just realized I have the infrastructure needed to put a sane cap on bodies of water now.
03:26
<@Derakon>
That being the overlay map that tells me what region a given tile is in.
03:26
<@Derakon>
I can just say "If you try to make a body of water and it leaves the region, it's invalid".

< Alek>
given x.php and a type="t" name="y" value="z" form item. how do I put it in the address bar?
05:08
<@Derakon>
Make the form action be GET instead of POST.
05:09
< Alek>
the item gets passed to the script in html normally. but I recall something about it being possible to pass items to scripts via address bar. like google's searches.
05:10
<@Derakon>
Parameters in the URL are GET parameters. You can access them via $_GET or $_REQUEST, if I recall my PHP variable names correctly.
05:15
< Alek>
given an item formatted as above, what would an example be?
05:16
<@Vornicus>
Alek: in the form tag, use method="get" instead of method="post"
05:16
<@Derakon>
http://www.w3schools.com/PHP/php_get.asp
05:16
< Alek>
if I can't change the code or the script.
05:16
<@Vornicus>
And then in the PHP end, you need to use $_GET
05:17
<@Vornicus>
Note that the two are seen by PHP or any CGI are sompletely different - you can have overlapping get and post parameters.
05:18
<@Vornicus>
s/CGI are/CGI as/
05:18
<@Vornicus>
Indeed there is at least one application out there - the one used by my local library - that gives multiple get vars with the same name.
05:19
<@Derakon>
That's not a good idea.
05:19
<@Vornicus>
Indeed it actually goes against the spec.
05:24
< Alek>
hm.
05:25
< Alek>
I have a <form action=script.php><input type=x name=y value=z><input type=a value=b></form> but I want the type x to have a value other than z, and I can't change the code or the script.
05:26
<@Vornicus>
Alek: use a web library in a scripting language to construct the request.
05:26 somnolence [~somnolenc@Nightstar-3790.hsd1.ca.comcast.net] has joined #code
05:26
< Alek>
according to the linked site, I should be able to put into the address bar script.php?y=!z (as the example seems to be name=value) but it doesn't work.
05:26
<@Vornicus>
Alternatively you can learn HTTP and telnet on port 80.
05:27
<@Derakon>
Because the script is pulling from $_POST, which ignores values in the address bar.
05:27
< Alek>
>_>
05:27
< Alek>
hm.
05:27
< Alek>
what's the quickest way to bypass it?
05:27
<@Vornicus>
Use a scripting language to construct and send the request.
05:27
<@Derakon>
Make your own page which does a POST submit and sends the values you want.
05:28
< Alek>
pfft.
05:28
<@Vornicus>
Or that
05:28 * Alek headdesks.
05:28
< Alek>
ok, Derakon has the best idea I've heard. thanks.
05:28
< Alek>
good night.
05:32
< Alek>
gah.
05:32
< Alek>
still no go.
05:32
< Alek>
well, I'll give it a night.

A couple of months ago, they very eloquently stated that they would futz with their network to make any official wiretapping requests useless. Now they found a loophole in the draconian DMCA^2 law that was just enacted, and refuse to give out subscriber information. :)
