Re: pretend you did (x) thing in the past few weeks and try to call it noteworthy

I have the weirdest problem right now.

Google Chrome does still load youtube videos but it just refuses to play them (i can even click on various points in the video but it only shows the still image of that point like its constantly paused).

Firefox and Internet Explorer still work fine. I've tried reinstalling flash, restarting my pc, and reinstalling chrome yet the problem persists.

It might be that this problem fixes itself withhin a few hours like other problems I had with Chrome before but this is just particularly annoying.

HOWEVER, and this is the best part, embedded videos still work perfectly fine.

Assuming with "embedded videos" you mean video's on here, it might mean your HTML5 player is being cranky, embedded video's here use Flash. Chrome is that one browser too that doesn't let you disable HTML5 YouTube, unless you rename a DLL file to something it can't find.

I had yet another busy Saturday free of getting hit in the head/pinned against a table/strangled.

well as ive suspected it fixed itself by now

yay chrome

i also had a simila problem with flash games on newgrounds once and that fixed itself too, just considerably faster.

I found and exploit in the security system of my school.

I won't go into any details here but I managed to host a LAN minecraft server in the school network though that technically shouldnt be possible.

We had to run to the gym because we were late. God then the stuff we did in there was so tough...

well actually i havent done that much so if you insist:

The way the network in my school works is that everyone has his own account with that he/she can login into the system and their userspace and stuff. Is required to be able to download stuff.

However, there is always a stationary account with that you can login to only that pc, you can still use the internet but downloading has been disabled somehow.

Also every time the pc gets shut off and turned on again it runs a program called "MySHN" that resets whatever you have done outside your userspace on that pc to a pre-defined image.

so basically what i did was go into the stationary account, which has local admins permissions, and used that to access the user management to reset the password of the local "administrator" of that pc (which somehow appearently also overrides the perms of our school's global administrator who should be the only person who has admin perms outside of that stationary account but hey i wont complain)

When I was done there, went into my own account, went to the windows Firewall, clicked on disable and when it prompted to enter the username and password of an administrator account i entered the ones of the local one that i have changed before, which surprsingly worked.

Well at that point i had free play, or so i thought.

I still had to find a way to bypass the fact that the system administrator blocked most network gateway ports, especially those used by 90% of online games to connect to gameservers.

Which means that a regular minecraft lan server does not work because it goes through a port that is blocked.

So I downloaded the regular minecraft server software jar, ran it and used the local ipv4 of that pc as an ip address (the port 25565 used by that server appearently works)

turns out only the host has to actually disable his firewall, and everyone else in the entire school can theoretically join the game.

bam done. Also while i was at it i also found a nice proxy tunnel website that lets me bypass that webfilter.

So yeah, thats about what me and my friends do during recess

Well that's not what my suspicions were but neat anyway.

Mah, my school has a pretty open network on that department. Sure, we can't connect to classrooms we're not in ourselves, but servers of that kind work.
