@JourneymanGeek I haven't slept much lately, so today after 10 hours of work I truly do not feel awake at all still

KronoS

12:32 AM

anybody use ddrescue before

I have a bad hdd that I'm trying to recover data from

but I can't seem to mount the image after copying

I did copy the entire disk (/dev/sde), so there are technically multiple partitions in there

but I can't seem to get it to mount

Bob

@KronoS how are you mounting it?

kpartx?

KronoS

just mount

Journeyman Geek

Kpartx would work. Mount won't

KronoS

mount -t ntfs -o r,force,offset=32256

I'll try kpartx

Journeyman Geek

12:48 AM

Forensics wiki has a good guide on it. I'd link but I'm on a phone.

KronoS

I''ve been looking at that, but I must've missed the kpartx part

actually I found a ask ubuntu question that quoted the forensics wiki

loop3p1 : 0 1701990410 /dev/loop3 218129509
loop3p2 : 0 543974724 /dev/loop3 729050177
loop3p4 : 0 51635 /dev/loop3 2692939776

that's the output

how exactly now do I mount those?

Journeyman Geek

You mount/dev/loopx as per normal

Bob

@JourneymanGeek @allquixotic we playing anything today?

allquixotic

1:03 AM

@Bob depends on what you guys want and when you're available. I have to wake up early tomorrow

Bob

@allquixotic ah, maybe not then. I'll be available 3 hours from now, no idea about geek. How's tomorrow night?

Journeyman Geek

mothership.sg/2016/06/…

@Bob as far as I know I should be fine.

allquixotic

@Bob tomorrow night should be good

3 hours from now is far too late for me to start playing

Bob

Ah. Ok - you alright for tomorrow, @JourneymanGeek

Journeyman Geek

1:20 AM

Yup

Bob

Great

allquixotic

@Bob I think I can get electronbeam into SoaSE with us

she lives in my time zone minus 1 hour, so that's four separate timezones in one game, though, same continent as me, so still only 3 continents

ping to her probably 80-90 msec

Journeyman Geek

'only 3 continents' :p

Maybe it's foreshadowing?

Ctrl+W is the first keypress in a chord in VS2015, so maybe the next thing they tweet will be the second?

A new feature involving compiler warnings?

allquixotic

lol

Bob

@allquixotic cool. Are we starting a new game, then?

Even number of players would be nice :P

allquixotic

@Bob if I successfully get them to join? probably, yeah

Bob

@allquixotic new to the game, or old player?

Though it is kinda through the middle of the night...

electronbeam

2:18 AM

hi

I'm here

Bob

'lo

allquixotic

@electronbeam heya

@Bob new

Journeyman Geek

Woof. I'm onna bike.

Bob

@allquixotic Then geek won't be the newest player anymore? :P

Technically, we started around the same time... but @JourneymanGeek took a while to go through the tutorial :P

Journeyman Geek

Actually....

Bob

2:29 AM

@JourneymanGeek Or, you started before me?

Then I won't be the newest anymore!

electronbeam

I'll look into this game at some point

oldmud0

Agh

c++ is like a blank sheet of paper, except when you write on it people yell at you to write between the imaginary lines

Bob

@JourneymanGeek How do you reach the pedals?

oldmud0

wow he couldn't even reach for the "g" on his keyboard, how could he possibly reach the pedals?

There's an imaginary C++ professional in the back of my head yelling at me every time I make a mistake on my code.

Like when I put my includes in the cpp instead of my hpp.

Or when I include an empty destructor method.

It's very hard programming these days, especially with such a guilty conscience like mine.

My conscience tells me now that 75% of my code is wrong 75% of the time.

Bob

2:54 AM

@oldmud0 When I write C++ it usually crashes :P

Granted, I've only ever really used that language for competitions

oldmud0

I felt like I wasn't a real man until I could learn c++

Looks like I'm not a real man either way

holy cow 10 years ago our microSD cards had 128 MB. Now they have 128 GB

All right I officially give up on C++

Screw this, what the heck do I use for cross-platform dev beside gayva

Simon Sheehan

@oldmud0 Python?

Journeyman Geek

@Bob clearly I sit in a basket.....

oldmud0

python is for kids now?

and fast scripting

Q: Which programming languages are multi-platform, fast, and object-oriented with non-limiting low-level os access?

I've been a web developer for a few years, and I want to get into desktop program development. I'm looking for a language that will allow me to write programs which are: Multi-platform, supporting Windows, Mac, and Linux, either by default or with little work. Create programs which are fast. Is...

Bob

3:03 AM

Heh. I use LINQPad for fast scripting

oldmud0

java is a dead horse for casual programming

security exploits every other week

what, you think I should try monty python?

Journeyman Geek

Yeah.

oldmud0

Ugh, I think telling people I program in python is like telling an engineer that I still build with lego bricks

I mean it works very well but I didn't take the step further

Journeyman Geek

You do realise a lot of serious, useful software, including key Linux distribution software is in python right?

oldmud0

yeah

Journeyman Geek

3:12 AM

Is apt a toy?

oldmud0

depends on how you use it ;)

Bob

It has super cow powers!

O O

There's a construction supply store in outram

bwDraco

@JourneymanGeek Actually, in most configurations, a systemd-based Linux system is not bootable without Python.

Journeyman Geek

@bwDraco not sure I consider systemd useful
... :p

But yeah.

bwDraco

Unless systemd is configured to not use Python at compile time (and this breaks a lot of functionality), Python must be present for the system to boot.

oldmud0

but what if python become botnet

then it end of world

python use in nuclear actors?

@allquixotic oh fack, it's c++ not python

rip me :<

bwDraco

...well, seems not but most distributions do require Python during the boot process (it is often used to access systemd functionality).

Removing Python will break your system in any case.

oldmud0

3:54 AM

and you can fit python in embedded systems too

also cython

Journeyman Geek

@NetworkKingPin Lets see, oldschool blackwidow (aka classic) ultimate, had a taipan for quite a while, then a mamba TE

the taipan's nice for claw grips but I need a wide mouse with my paws and my palm grip

Edity -deleted-

Who is @electronbeam and why is @Rahul2001 asking me about her?

NetworkKingPin

@JourneymanGeek very nice. I have the black widow ultimate aslo. Played with a Naga for a bit then went to the Mamba 2010 editon. And have the Razer Mamba Chroma now.

Journeyman Geek

4:54 AM

the wireless mamba?

NetworkKingPin

@JourneymanGeek Yes

Journeyman Geek

ahh

How does the variable pressure thing work?

That's the main thing that seems shiny about that

(especially since I have a mouse bungee I impulse bought and love to bits)

NetworkKingPin

Yes, Ive only ajusted it a tiny bit. But I fell in love as soon as I first used it.

Journeyman Geek

I do love the build on this tho

Its a little plasticy but they've improved the cord

NetworkKingPin

Ive never used a mouse bungee seems it would be nice if i had to plug it up to charge while i was using it.

Journeyman Geek

5:04 AM

and its a nice chunky mousewheel, and the buttons are in the 'right' places

@NetworkKingPin heh, there's some cheap/decent options

NetworkKingPin

They build some quality products.

Journeyman Geek

I bought a roccat apuri, which wasn't cheap ;p

NetworkKingPin

Looks intense.

Journeyman Geek

Powered USB ports are nice

NetworkKingPin

Can never get enough of those.

Journeyman Geek

5:06 AM

but a normal version feels like something you'd charge a tenner for and throw in free at trade shows

NetworkKingPin

I have a 20 port usb hub under my desk. was 200 Usd. But I got it free when I was bitcoin mining.

@Bob very nice!

Nice answer.

Bob

I just use a wireless mouse :P

NetworkKingPin

@JourneymanGeek all the ports where used though. Had Usb miners and network miners. Had a 1 terrahash Dragon,1 Antiminer s5, 4 5-chip GC3355 Gridseed, and 4 blizzard 1.4mh zeus miners. Was for fun until I decided to sell out.

Q: Do servers hold one website only?

As from what I understand the DNS link the domain name with the IP address of the server the website is stored on, does that mean each server can only hold one website? If they don't, how does calling the server's IP address know which website I want if there are many on the same server?

dns ip webserver

@NetworkKingPin Did you actually make anything, what wiht power and hardware costs? :P

NetworkKingPin

@bob at the time yes. The last thing I got was the 1 Terrahash dragon. Only had it a few months. Then started to see the drop in profit and sold my hardware.

I used maybe 250 of my own money to get started. Made a couple thousand. Electricity bill was not bad at all.

`Some customers hate to call companies on the phone. Certain people don't like personal interactions and prefer to use indirect channels. Other consumers want a public forum to air grievances. However a customer contacts a business, the company must be ready to answer.
According to a Salesforce survey, 78 percent of consumers believe social media will become the primary channel for customer service interactions. Currently, about half of consumers expect a company to answer their questions on Facebook and most will stop doing business with an organization if it doesn't respond to social post…

^ Shows how we as a society become isolated and crippled in normal communication. Did you see anyone having fun without smartphone, tablet on hand? Family comes to theme park or goes camping and their kids faces a glued at screens? How about couple dating where he/she constantly busy with their phones?

Journeyman Geek

@Boris_yo also means phone support can be crap

social networking works cause they look bad if they issue ain't fixed

Bob

Hm. Good chance of repcap :D

NetworkKingPin

@Boris_yo a lot of the time it is probably almost easier to get a live chat to get something done. Although its a huge issue with Social Engineering.

They can never know if you are talking to the actual person who claims to be Mike or an intruder with Mikes details trying to get access to his account.

So I think we will still have some sort of phone interactions with customer service.

Or Rather say a Voice service. Although the same can be done over voice you dont always Know what Mike is going to sound like which could also be Social engineered.

It all comes down to Communication like you said. A lot of the younger generation of people do not want to even order anything through a public McDonalds per say.

Everyone is getting used to Social interactions on the web such as this room ;). Sorry to get off subject to Social Engineering.

Journeyman Geek

9:10 AM

@NetworkKingPin I'd argue these interactions are just as 'real'
