@ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ something you might appreciate and gloat about ;)

My moblile phone data speed (HSDPA internet):

and my home broadband:

Would localhost be the correct host for a mysql connection from node.js?

That Brazilian Guy

@Mokubai Wait, what? Your home broadband is worse than mine? O_o

@ThatBrazilianGuy damn straight my landline sucks

it peaks at around 5.8Mbps when everyone in the neighbourhood is asleep...

Curse those people listening to Internet radio...

That Brazilian Guy

What, were you expecting faster speeds?

And what's a Canadian Luke doing in a British ISP?

I am so confused D:

I have been attempting for a 2 solid hours to get this app working. I do not understand how I cannot get it to work.

@JordanRichards Aren't we all? It's called "human condition".

@JordanRichards I know nothing about node, so I can't help you

Jordan Richards

@ThatBrazilianGuy ok

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

@JordanRichards I've never used it, but I can't help you if I don't know what's wrong

it's all about details -- error messages, log outputs, command lines, and so on and so forth

I need evidence of a problem

so far all I have is "doesn't work"

that's not actionable

Jordan Richards

Yeah

I realized that a moment after I asked.

The truth is, I have no idea either.

I guess the code may just be outdated with twitch's api

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

don't guess; test your theories

Jordan Richards

Yeah, I am so bad at it as I have little knowlage of the api

7:53 PM

Quick question--what happened to the "Too Localized" close vote option? I distinctly remember it being here last time I used the site.

@digitxp got nuked along with NARQ

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

Q: Closing changes: on hold, unclear, too broad, opinion-based, off-topic reasons, bye-bye to Too Localized

After a ton of discussion, work and input from the community, we're rolling out the remainder of major closing changes that you've helped us design, as discussed in these prior posts. They're live, network-wide RIGHT NOW!!! See also: http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2013/06/the-war-of-the-closes/ ...

discussion close-reasons announcements

you must use the site very infrequently :)

> asked Jun 12 '13

@digitxp Too localised and NARQ were prone to people abusing the close-vote system to just rid the site of chaff without having to actually think about why they were closing it

As Stack Exchange continues to expand to serve new audiences, we’re constantly on the lookout for folks who can take the principles and practices we all hold dear and communicate them effectively to the folks who would otherwise find them strange and difficult.

@Mokubai So if you ask a question about an ultra-rare model of random Android tablet or something crazy like that, I'd classify it as OT?

Yep. As per the Help centre Android tabs and phones are off-topic.

I'm a little iffy about Android on a PC though...

8:36 PM

@ThatBrazilianGuy How do you get the CLI version?

@CanadianLuke Ugh... I like those speeds.

If I connect directly to my server and can use a command line to test the speed, it'll be even faster

You guys saw the $15 carboard Goguclus Raft? developers.google.com/cardboard

9:09 PM

@ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ Around? You told me you were familiar with batch so.. Do you happen to know if/how I can pass multiple command to cmd.exe? I know I can pass one with either the /C or /K flags (when calling the cmd program), but how do I pass multiple commands?

I tested with: (in a windows run dialog) cmd.exe /K echo "Test", cls and using a ; instead of a comma, but it always treats it as an extension of the echo command.

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

@Seth I don't recall saying I was familiar with batch, and I rather hate the Windows command prompt, but I think that is because echo tries to eat everything after it ;p

@Seth The Run dialog is very different. Try from within the command prompt window itself

What are you trying to accomplish?

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

cmd.exe /K echo "Test" > fil & cls

type fil

the > fil is just for proof that the echo worked... the file fil gets populated with the output of the echo

@CanadianLuke I'm writing a script in powershell, the problem is it doesn't support everything I want to do. There are some cmd commands that will do it though so I was trying to open a cmd window and run them from there. I was just hoping to do them all at once instead of one at a time.

@ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ Sorry, perhaps it was another user.. Thanks though :)

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

@Seth see my recent message

9:17 PM

@ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ Ah, fancy way of getting around it.

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

use & instead of ,, and put quotes around the entire thing

I think I'll try something without echo as well.

I'd suggest using either a batch file, or a .PS1 file. I'm more comfortable in batch scripting, so I'd recommend batch file personally. You can call other Powershell scripts from the command line

@CanadianLuke Ah, I hadn't thought of that.. The only problem is that means more files to deploy for it to work..

Nothing wrong with that. I use PDQ Deploy to do it

9:19 PM

Unless I wrote the batch script from within powershell.. not sure it can do that.

Especially if you have all the required files on a network share, it can connect there, run the commands from the server, and be done

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

@Seth PowerShell can do anything; it's a general interface to .NET

hell you could write a feature-complete web browser in PowerShell if you wanted

Thanks guys! You've given me a lot to chew on for a while.

No problem! Good luck

And, as always, keep it blue ;)

lol, now I feel stupid. Looking closer at what @ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ suggested I found that just using cmd.exe /K echo "Test" & cls works just fine. facepalm.

I have zero idea why I didn't think of trying &...

Learned some good stuff anyway. Thanks again!

@CanadianLuke Is that supposed to mean keep using Windows?

9:23 PM

No, keep being a mod :P

Ah, ok cool :P

I was gonna say, I mod the Ubuntu site, I think they'd fire me if I kept using Windows ;)

I mod on Freelancing, but I have a day job :P

lol

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

and slhck mods on SU, but he prefers Mac

BLASPHEMY

Hey, I thought SU was supposed to be the all accepting, any OS goes kind of place. rage quits.

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

9:33 PM

I bet there are some sysadmins who are mods on SO... ?
Brits modding japanese.SE? :P
Believers in Hindu modding Christianity.SE? :P

@ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ hehe

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

actually, more stark than any of those would be: a Free Software Foundation employee modding AskDifferent ;D

Journeyman Geek

lol

@ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ: funny thing is I'm not sure if we have any mods who mainly use linux

:(

Journeyman Geek

(I MIGHT come the closest. I clearly use it more than OS/2)

9:42 PM

Looking at how much blue is in here lately... We should make this the moderator's hangout

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

I'm clearly bucking the trend, with my italicized, black, unicodey name

That's why you can't be a mod :P jk jk!

I'm not convinced, OP just posts shitty answers

I'm doing it based on the link

Very, very shitty answers...

10:13 PM

@CanadianLuke Well that's certainly an interesting way to spell Rebecca lol

... And answering low quality questions, by new users... I'm wondering if there's something else going on with that account...

@JourneymanGeek Are there any other weird things on their account?

Journeyman Geek

other than an answer ban?

Yea

"No man its not possible because windows OS has configured with advanced intelligent settings that will that will automatically identify the primary mouse but you can use that arrow from both of your devices."

I attempted this yesterday, but failed. Spent all day today in putty. I just wanted to ask what would be the best way to approach running a .NET app (twitchmodbot.sourceforge.net) on mono? (I have no idea how I would interact with the interface, as it is designed for windows) I use CentOS 5

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

10:54 PM

@JordanRichards if you're trying to run a GUI, you will need to use a lot more than just putty -- you'll have to start an X11 server, e.g. through Xrdp, then RDP into it, then launch that program from there

looks like that modbot is inherently GUI-based and doesn't support a CLI

Jordan Richards

I have X11 installed, I think

Wow, PowerShell is really awesome.

Jordan Richards

I have no idea how to do it though

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

@JordanRichards no, you need Xrdp (there are other alternatives but this one is the easiest; trust me)

Jordan Richards

@ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ oh ok

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

10:57 PM

then you'll need some kind of desktop environment running within it, so you can get to a command prompt, and run your program :)

(this is all assuming you have mono installed and working already)

Jordan Richards

Is there an acrticle that explains how to do this? It sounds really hard

ÃŁŁǫǛȉЖΦΤїҪ

@JordanRichards trying to do just about anything on CentOS 5 is really hard; either a newer version of CentOS, or another Linux distro, will have more, and more up to date packages, which should make things a lot easier

personally I prefer and recommend Debian Stable, but CentOS 7 should be good, too

Jordan Richards

Yeah

I want to stay on centos5 for the time being

Will you be on tomorrow?

Q: Confusion about connecting Different Wifi Routers

Good day, Here is the situation. I am to propose a thesis topic, about people tracking in our school. The method I choose is to use many wifi routers per building, so that when people connects to it a software(which also I will make) in the PC that is also connected will know that they are cur...
