@allquixotic he keeps saying tweeties...
@ThatBrazilianGuy this is a bit arkward but do you mind of I copy the answer to superuser.com/questions/699278/… here superuser.com/questions/492562/… ?
(well, I did give you the original answer for purposes of 'damnitwhatdoIdowiththisbounty' but I'd like to cover my rear)
 
8 hours ago, by That Brazilian Guy
Or should I say... notwork badumtssss
 
1:44 AM
@JourneymanGeek I didn't come up with this answer originally, so I suggest you ask the original author. He usullay hangs around in RA ;p
 
 
2 hours later…
3:37 AM
@ThatBrazilianGuy that's what you get for installing php
 
4:35 AM
There's also a unicode-handling bug in the URL request library, and we're storing the passwords unsalted ... so if we salt them with emoji, we can close three issues at once!

@XKCD LOL
 
Azure Portal is being awesome today
 
4:55 AM
Bleh whenever my connection dies, the ssh shell simpy hangs up
Can't use Ctrl+C to make it go away
After some 5 mins, spits out broken pipe and die
Anyway to stop this ?
I am just gonna kill the process
ah yes that works
 
Bob
5:29 AM
@HackToHell it does that every day
@HackToHell use mosh instead? :P
 
@Bob Can't open the port ranges needed for mosh :/
@Bob :S
Mosh is pretty fun tho
Free persistence ftw

Q: What is the default idle timeout for OpenSSH?

BanjerI can't seem to find an answer to this simple question, which I need for some compliance documentation. On a default install of CentOS 6.5 (OpenSSH 5.3p1-94.el6), after how long of being idle will a user's SSH session be terminated? I believe the following can be set to increase the idle time...

TCPKeepAlive will cause it to die faster, but also force it to die when it could technically survive the interruption

Q: Way to avoid ssh connection timeout & freezing of terminal tab

KzqaiWhen I connect via ssh terminal to certain servers, it timeouts and "freezes" the terminal (doesn't accept, doesn't disconnect, can't Ctrl-C to kill the ssh process or anything). This is in Ubuntu's Gnome-terminal, though it seems to be pausing the terminal input/output, and doesn't affect the o...

 
Aha, lemme push it to a smaller value
 
Bob
> Press Enter, ~, . one after the other to disconnect from a frozen session.
TIL
 
Somehow I can never find the proper answer on google
@Bob yay!
 
5:35 AM
I'm watching finding dory right now...
This is fun!
 
Now that my connection speed is at a steady 2Mbps
I can actually stream it :D
 
@HackToHell arrr!
 
I can stream HD on youtube !
whee
 
Ugh.... Can I easily mark my internal drives at non-removable? :/
I feel like Windows should know this by now.
Like... Why would I want to eject my System drive?
 
ravage eject
 
Bob
5:49 AM
@MichaelFrank that's a driver thing iirc
 
@Bob Ahh... it could be.
 
6:03 AM
yay! craigslist is cool. sold my older motorcycle in the same day it went up for sale. And i am not dead either :-)
3 dealers wouldnt touch it, lazy peops missed out.
 
6:20 AM

@Bob what is a drop bear? i should know.
 
@Psycogeek the first rule of dropbears is you do not talk about dropbears
Them Thylarctos plummetus
 
don't make me wiki now.
wiki dun got everything.
 
6:53 AM
That's probably photoshopped.
No one's ever seen a dropbear and lived.
 
yea artist depiction
 
7:18 AM
this is prolly more realistic
 
@Bob the fact every meal has to be a BBQ and held on the beach
and that all the animals there are trying to murder you
 
heh
 
@JourneymanGeek is that skyrim ... ?
 
er. No, would be a strange mod
its violent, ;p
 
7:33 AM
a load of canadian geese were causing traffic chaos this morning as they wandered back and forth across the inner ring road
 
that waas ..... weird
and violent too
 
this user is posting the same answer to multiple questions: superuser.com/users/611470/kevin-tu
 
I'm not seeing it ._.

A: WMI Provider Host taking up half of CPU?

Kevin TuTry to enable WMI activity log in event log, (enable "show analytic and Debug log" in view option of event viewer), check which WMI query is running in Microsoft-Windows-WMI-Activity/Operational and trace log. Or you can consider to rebuild wmi repository: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/askp...

0
A: WMI performance monitors not available

Kevin TuBackup %windir%\system32\wbem folder, and switch to %windir%\system32\wbem and run mofcomp Wmi.mof since this is the MOF file for this Win32_PerfRawData class. If still fails, consider to rebuild WMI Repository: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/askperf/2009/04/13/wmi-rebuilding-the-wmi-reposit...

ok wording is a little more different than i originally thought
 
and the links
he DOES seem to focus on WMI questions, true
 
7:39 AM
they came up next to each other in review queue
 
yup ;p
I opened up and skimmed ALL his questions when you mentioned it ;p
 
not having them side by side made me think they were identical
 
XD
This is why ALL THE SCREENS are nice
 
i only hit the queue now before work
still worth flagging up i think as they aren't brilliant quality
 
meh, while short, I feel they seem to be self contained
 
7:45 AM
he's done 12 in 2 hours
keep an eye on him, i think he may be trouble! ;)
 
lol
Most of my troublemakers are on chat ;)
 
i'm still banned from flagging can you take a look at:

A: No Accelerate button/tab on Intel Rapid Storage window

johnniewalkerI had to shrink the last partition of the hdd I want to accelerate. After that I was able to set the hdd as "Accelerated device".

 
Bob
@Burgi TBH, those answers mostly look decent and this is where a gentle guiding hand would really help.
Some would be better off as comments.
 
@Burgi you should see some of my early answers ;p
 
Bob
But most seem to answer the question, and are fairly well tailored to the questions.
 
7:49 AM
i'll be honest i think you nuked my very answer
 
Bob
@Burgi ?
 
my first answer on SU got nuked because it was terrible and irrelevant
 
@Burgi actually, no
as far as I can tell anyway
this is the oldest one I can find that wasn't deleted cause the question was superuser.com/a/1006265/10165
 
Bob
lol
also, 12 short answers in 2 hours isn't that crazy
when you're hunting down a single topic...
apparently when I first joined I was doing up to 5 a day o.O
 
8:00 AM
@JourneymanGeek i'm pretty certain there was an earlier one
 
@Burgi unless you had another account...
 
it might have been on SO now that i think about it
 
ah
I have ONE answer in SO I think
and its something embarassingly non technical

A: Deobfuscating C++ source code

Journeyman GeekIn this specific case, you could just try this link to the latest devel files - I just worked out it was the version being wrong - the link says 4.5 and the current version is 4.5.1.

 
8:04 AM
it was accepted AND +6!
 
"hey, what happens if I change the link... waaaait"
 
i do have more rep than you there....
:)
 
n00b ;)
 
Bob
8:25 AM
A
 
i'm probably going to regret that :)
 
dang skunks, i understand that it is thier only defencive system, but you dont see me shooting at everyone who startles me
 
...
 
I need to popularise an exotic and expencive dish using them. Pole Kitty Kabobs?
 
is the smell really that bad?
 
8:32 AM
@Burgi Back then, did the code already have the comment that explains how to obtain the readable source?
 
@OliverSalzburg we were looking at @JourneymanGeek's first SO post, the link was for lazy people :)
 
Each dog gets HIT hard about 3 times before they learn the diff between kitty and pole kitty. Luckily we are done with that for both dogs. That requires the dog to take a bath to wash it off, and still the scent can linger for a day or 2 after. Beyond that generally about 2 times a month something else or a car splatters one, and the whole block smells of it for days.
All because they not only feed the ducks, but overfeed the ducks two times over. it has brought in racoons, river rats (in the creek) , skunks breeding like flies, and now opossums. I do live in a city , just suburban style.
 
@OliverSalzburg it didn't. And they probably fixed the link by now
 
8:48 AM
when the dog gets hit with a full load from even the smallest of skunks, they start freeking out and trying to smear it off on anything. sliding thier face across the dirt, grass or carpets. the smell makes your eyes water, and all food tastes like skunk butt for the rest of the day :-) yea it is that bad, when they do a full spray.
 
we just get foxes and squirrels
 
no foxes yet, but the squirrles love the duck food too. wiped out all my cherries this year (all 12 of them) without me getting one.
and the squirrles really do "store" food for the winter, or what i call plant seeds :-) they have stored food in the roof, burried in planters and in the ground. I dont think they really know where they put anything after though :-)
 
agreed
my parents lawn is covered in holes where the squirrels have forgotten where they buried the food
 
9:04 AM
"There must be a better way to tackle any problem than banning children from feeding the ducks." If it was kids manually feeding the ducks , it would be no problem. here we have 2 idiots , that supply masses of "bird food" as in purchanced at the pet store, plus any old bread they have.
 
it doesn't help that my dad goes out after they have buried it, digs it up and bins it
 
plus they know the axium of feeding the wildlife and then stopping during winter (etc) starving them , so they insure that they do it rain or shine non-stop.
 
HAMMERTIME!
HAMMERTIME!
 
9:17 AM
Um... that was unexpected
!!rconfused
 
@Rahul2001 halt
 
HAMMERZEIT!
 
and there's a few more
 
@Bob @allquixotic is that you?
 
9:18 AM
is what who?
WHERE?
HOW?
WHOM?
AND WHO IS THAT GENTLEMAN LURKING IN THE RED AND WHITE SHIRT?
 
:P
 
This might be an annoyed me, but:
If you can answer the question then Please answer elss let others answer it, but dont tell me what i have to do. thanks but no thanks — Richa 5 mins ago
 
i think @Rahul2001 is too young for mc hammer
 
Feel free to chuck in downvotes
Cant touch this! Tadabumda
 
@Burgi I think you may be right
 
9:21 AM
@Hennes DV'd
 
@Hennes lol
 
CAPS, ASAP, fresh attitude. And not enough coffee in me
Bad combo
I can fix the not enough coffee part though.
 
Hmm I need coffee too
Ah crudcakes 50 items in inbox
Nobody replies for 3 months => You send a "FINAL WARNING" email => 50 people respond in a day
 
Bob
lol
 
@Burgi I know
@JourneymanGeek Well, the file still looks bad, I just updated the link to it in the question :P
 
9:27 AM
Latte!
 
!!caat
 
is that now a meme on that question?
 
nope
its @qwertyuiop being @qwertyuiop
!!catdrop
 
9:31 AM
Not that cat.
 
Sorry, that was my friend...
 
I feel sick
 
what did i miss?
 
@Burgi my friend typing 'whaaaaatttssss uuuuuppppppp'
 
ah ok
 
9:43 AM
You let your "friends" use your StackExchange account?
 
Wow the RX 480 sucks
 
hmm, what to do, what to do. the simple 480 (assuming those are real specs) very cheap, would still save lots of power, and my present card does do enough for all my needs.
none of them really can do "4K" like the previous ones did 2K
they can pull it off, but not for the hard stuff at full 60rate anyways, so there will always be one more step to get full 4k running up to par.
 
I'm resigned to the fact I'll need a Fury X2/RX 590XXX/GTX 1180 Ti/Dual GTX 1080's in SLI to get proper 4K
 
@Bob So I installed the Samsung Magician software for my SSD. There's no drivers here...
 
9:50 AM
'proper'?
 
Bob
@MichaelFrank ...usually the built-in ones, or possibly the controller's drivers :\
Chipset drivers? idk
How's it attached?
What's your motherboard?
 
SATA 3.
 
@JourneymanGeek 120Hz Deep Color HDR!
Or just 120Hz
 
Urf... Some Gigabyte thing, it's been too long.
 
ahh
@qwertyuiop and DP 1.3 I guess
 
9:51 AM
Cause after spending a year with a 120/240Hz monitor, it's basically 120 or GTFO
@JourneymanGeek DP 1.4 more likely
At least for the deep color/HDR stuff. 1.3 could probably handle 4K120 with standard 24-bit
 
@qwertyuiop heh, yeah. And the monitors and...
 
Bob
@qwertyuiop wait wasn't it supposed to be good -_-
 
Both AMD's and NVidia's current gen cards support DP 1.4
@JourneymanGeek Well the monitor I want has been overdue for 3 months
@Bob It's supposed to be, but psychogeek's screenshot says otherwise
 
Bob
it's on par with a GTX 770!
that's gotta be a joke
 
General availability was supposed to be today so I'm still searching for proper reviews
 
Bob
9:52 AM
faulty benchmark? :\
Or did AMD just epically fail
 
Evidently AMD didn't send out pre-release review samples, or the NDA hasn't been lifted yet.
 
@Bob could be both
 
@Bob Doubt it
We've seen there is a 2-3x perf per watt improvement.
 
the 480 "launch" was supposed to be today , whatever consists of a launch, it isnt one in my hands :-)
 
And a 100-150w TDP card should then be broadly on par with a 300-400w existing AMD card (e.g. faster than a 390x)
Amazon has it listed, but out of stock, but due toay
 
Bob
9:54 AM
@qwertyuiop 150 W TDP?
GTX 960 is 120 W...
 
@Bob It's marked as 150W but my educated guess is it's somewhere between 100w and 150w.
 
@qwertyuiop that is the main thing i am needing to do mobile, is real actual power savings, for the same work and same picture.
 
Bob
well, Ars is timing out
so I can't actually check :P
@qwertyuiop suppose we'll have to wait for some more concrete reviews
 
A card that draws an average power that's the maximum permitted through both the PCIe port and the PEG port is a recipe for disaster.
 
Bob
oh, wait. a single sample for that Passmark number.
yea, that could be heavily skewed in either direction
I'd want at least 100 samples, and even that's low
 
9:56 AM
Ars UK is working. But no review. No other tech sites have reviews either that I can see
 
Bob
mainstream cards easily get thousands of samples on Passmark
 
and some of them overclocked too I assume?
 
> The good and bad in Apple’s new APFS file system: A ZFS developer’s analysis
 
Bob
some would be, yea
but manual overclocking is still pretty rare
 
This is gonna be a looooong article
Best read that on my 3 hour train trip -_-
 
Bob
9:57 AM
@qwertyuiop oh, I read that the other day
well, skimmed through it
it's... kinda meh.
 
I've been deliberately not opening Ars for several days, because well, I still have 150+ ars tabs open from last summer to close off
 
@Bob Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3. Sandy Bridge, apparently!
 
@MichaelFrank Lol shitty mobo
I have an X58-EXTREME to sell mind you
 
shrug I didn't choose it.
 
Bob
@MichaelFrank You sure you have the SSD on the PCH SATA port, not the Marvell one?
> Chipset:

2 x SATA 6Gb/s connectors (SATA3_0~SATA3_1) supporting up to 2 SATA 6Gb/s devices
4 x SATA 3Gb/s connectors (SATA2_2~SATA2_5) supporting up to 4 SATA 3Gb/s devices
* The SATA2_5 connector will become unavailable when the mSATA connector is installed with a solid state drive.
Support for RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10
* When a RAID set is built across the SATA 6Gb/s and SATA 3Gb/s channels, the system performance of the RAID set may vary depending on the devices being connected.
 
9:59 AM
Maxwell?
Oh you mean Marvell.
 
Bob
@qwertyuiop brainfart
IME those third-party SATA controllers (Via, Marvell, etc.) can behave a bit weirdly at times
 
@Bob Lol the one on my X58 was shite
4x3Gbps SATA ports behind two 2x port multipliers behind a 2-port 3Gbps SATA controller connected to a 2.5Gbps PCIe lane.
 
@Bob Yea, it looks like it's on the Intel controller.
 
Bob
@qwertyuiop ow.
 
Intel Sandy Bridge chipsets were known to have faulty SATA controllers that degraded over time
 
Bob
10:04 AM
@MichaelFrank *shrug*, then. Windows 7?
 
Windows 10 though.
 
Bob
@qwertyuiop the original revision, yea. B3 stepping was fine.
 
Bob
IIRC Z68 came out after B3
and H67 didn't have the ports
so it pretty much only affected original P67
 
Hmm, article just says Courgar Point chipsets
 
> Intel 6 Series Express Chipsets for the Sandy Bridge and Intel Xeon C200 Series, particularly H67, P67 and the first generation mobile chipsets HM65, HM67, QM67, QS67, UM67 might exhibit a defect in the SATA-II controller. All motherboards with Cougar Point chipsets delivered on or after 9 January will have to be exchanged according to information currently available.
 
Bob
oh, Z68 came out before B3
but it apparently isn't affected *shrug*
@qwertyuiop I'm trying to find a good source for the B3 thing
mine's a B3 P67 - I looked it up at the time :P
 
Mine only has 6G ports, so meh
 
Bob
@qwertyuiop yea, I think that was common on H67 boards, which is why I thought they weren't affected :P
 
Mu X58 had the same intel SATA-2 ports and some marvels.
Needed the marvel, to be able to boot from a CDROM.
But disks (spinning rust and SSD) were connected to SAS
 
Bob
10:10 AM
> Intel says it's already developed a silicon fix for the chipset issue, which will be in the hands of motherboard manufacturers by the end of February. According to Intel, the Sandy Bridge motherboard business should be back in full flow in April.
that would be the B3 stepping
pretty sure
 
@Bob Mine's a QM67
@Mokubai Unless you buy cheap shitty Ebay ethernet cable, at which point you get 2-4 pairs of god knows what
 
@qwertyuiop he snatched my phone...
 
@Rahul2001 You let your friends use your phone? o_0
 
@qwertyuiop um... yeah?
 
Don't you know what happens when people snatch phones in schools?
 
10:15 AM
Hi. It's the friend again.
 
slaps "The friend again" around a bit with a large trout!
 
Uh... ouch?
 
@qwertyuiop ? you end up with memorable pictures of body parts that can be used later on in life as blackmail?
 
Lol
 
10:19 AM
@Psycogeek Pretty much, yeah. And the owner of the phone gets in trouble!
 
It's me again

Feeeel the brain draiiiiinnn
Argh, can't decide what Wiki to use
Torn between Tiki, TWiki, and DokuWiki DWiki
 
10:54 AM
why are AMD 480 breakdown pics not showing Stacked memory? instead showing more normal memory?
 
@qwertyuiop my experience with tiki isn't good. users found it too difficult to structure the data
 
I kinda like the idea of the memory also possibly being lower power, and being actually in the heat sink, not the usual paddded or almost insulated ram
 
@qwertyuiop if you buy anything off the world's largest tat bazaar then you deserve exactly what you paid for. If you pay 1/8th the cost of everywhere else, then you can expect the quality to be 1/8th of everything else.
 
@Burgi Yeah I've been finding the interface and what not ... less than stellar
Segregating Wikis and what not... haven't figured out how yet, if it can at all
@Mokubai Hey that tat bazaar is where I sold my 6-core Xeon CPU!
You can't really fudge the quality on that one :-P
 
@Rahul2001 I can kick your friend if you want ;p
 
11:04 AM
@JourneymanGeek no it's me now
 
@Rahul2001 that's exactly what your friend would say.
 
What if his friend is incapable of lying?
 
lol
 
@qwertyuiop is a cat/noodle/Becky @Bob is a fox, @allquixotic is a cat, @DavidPostill used to teach dance
Enough proof?
 
Hmm that's actually pretty convincing
 
11:14 AM
:P
@Burgi thinks he is going to die because of brexit.
 
:-o
 
@JourneymanGeek posted a video of his dog eating pasta yesterday
 
Yeah I missed all of that
 
eating pasta.
 
Swype of weird...
Swype is weird...
 
11:19 AM
I want to punch someone
I punched my bullshit button
GTFO
 
LOL
@Rahul2001 how...?
 
@Burgi Is this true?
 
@qwertyuiop die? No. Not immediately. Devolve into a state of savagery? Potentially
 
11:35 AM
(I just typed that to show my friend how clippy pops up)
 
That's what she said
Yay 88 emails to deal with
=> 88 emails moved to "Deal with later" folder
 
@qwertyuiop ctrl a -> delete
 
@Burgi Sadly not an option
Ctrl-A => Forward to minion might work though
 
@qwertyuiop anyone who dates someone who calls his 'little richard' clippy... is an odd bird
 
how long have you got at your old job?
 
11:44 AM
@JourneymanGeek Say what?
@Burgi 5 weeks
Looks like my minion is likely going to be my interim replacement
 
ANYONE WHO DATES SOMEONE WHO CALLS HIS 'LITTLE RICHARD' CLIPPY... IS AN ODD BIRD?
 
2 months hasn't been enough for HR to figure out if they'll even readvertise my post, let alone move along and do the job.
@JourneymanGeek Who is dating who and who calls his little richard clippy?
 
beats me. Whoever said that I wonder
@qwertyuiop as long as they don't advertise it like this mothership.sg/2016/06/…
 
@JourneymanGeek lol

@qwertyuiop I tend to use btsync for that
 
11:55 AM
didn't okcupid deliberately match incompatible people just to see what happens?
thats a pretty asshole thing to do imho
 
@Burgi Did they? o_0
 
Unless they deliberately fabricated their match rating (which the user can see) I can't see how it'd have much effect.
