not 1000, including <CRF> like email then? :o

satibel

though it does respect the size read, it doesn't read out of buffer.

so it probably queries the file size, and allocates a zeroed-out buffer for the whole file. Then tries to read it.

I made the mistake of creating a folder on a filesystem that always says that a file exists, whatever the name.

"New folder (7892)" is still not available.

@satibel How?

ln -s /dev/null /file

Why are CPU Photos so beautiful anyway?

XKCD

Gonna feel even dumber when I realize that all this time he's been talking into a bluetooth thingy and we're not actually friends.

djsmiley2k

@XKCD I laughed

Burgi

lol

its the mouseover that makes it

Rahul2001

2:25 PM

@Burgi Indeed

It's almost like Munroe actually heard my complaints

Burgi

the comic on its own isn't very good

but the mouseover is the better punchline

djsmiley2k

yup

Burgi

its interesting that most of the people standing in the sharepoint election are indian

Journeyman Geek

lol

(notes at least 2 of our mods are at least ethnic indian ;p)

Burgi

it was more a comment on the technology

Journeyman Geek

2:33 PM

ah

I've heard a lot of hatred for sharepoint on SF's offsite chat

Burgi

when i did my SP course 90% of the people there were ethnically indian/pakistani

@JourneymanGeek the M$ documentation for it is incomprehensible

Journeyman Geek

Documentation often is ;p

Burgi

and the barrier to entry is super high

djsmiley2k

Are we talking about 'running' sharepoint, as apposed to being an author on sharepoint?

@Bob too*

Q: Can i rebuild a JBOD?

i have some old hardware that failed years ago and I still got 2 HDD in there, both where configured as a JBOD. Is there a way to dump theses drives on one HDD and remove/rebuild the JBOD with the actual hardware no more available ?

can't he litterally just copy the files off?!

obv you need to know which files xD

Burgi

@djsmiley2k both?

djsmiley2k

@Burgi I used to do some funky stuff with sharepoint in a old job, as a author, no idea about actually hosting the thing tho

Burgi

its a faff and a half

djsmiley2k

A: Situation where it is imperative to have Windows as part of dual boot?

Personally I think of Windows as a second class alternative OS to Ubuntu and all Windows applications as second class alternatives to first class Ubuntu applications. Therefore the only value of Windows for me is to run applications that don't run at all in Ubuntu or run poorly, and all of the ap...

Man, my Drive was supposed to be delivered an hour ago

brb, monkey attack

Oliver Salzburg

Spank that monkey!

Journeyman Geek

IN SOVIET RUSSIA, MONKEY SPANK YOU!

Burgi

are monkey attacks a thing in india?

jokerdino

Only in some places.

Rahul2001

@Burgi Uh huh

Burgi

3:56 PM

even in cities?

Rahul2001

They entered from a window, and ransacked the fridge

djsmiley2k

i remember a guy i used to work with told me in south africa they had monkeys that'd do stuff that like

he used to grab em, and chuck em outta the window into the swimmin pool

they didn't like that xD

Rahul2001

@djsmiley2k You cannot just grab them

jokerdino

I think monkeys are considered vermin in some areas.

Burgi

do you not have those screens over your windows?

Rahul2001

3:59 PM

@Burgi Nah

jokerdino

Are you in Greater Delhi?

Rahul2001

@JourneymanGeek huh?

@jokerdino *cough* This is the internet, I'm disclosing nothing, mate

I'm not even in Delhi

Or maybe I am

You shall never know

jokerdino

Lol

Rahul2001

:P

Journeyman Geek

@Rahul2001 the programmer @Burgi mentioned

Rahul2001

4:01 PM

@JourneymanGeek I think that was @Burgi

djsmiley2k

@Rahul2001 lol

this guy was a pro water polo player

and a ex life guard

he also did tumbling in brazil

he was Fast

jokerdino

Flash?

djsmiley2k

No, he wasn't the flash :P

Rahul2001

@JourneymanGeek I... think you should just shut this down before it gets overblown superuser.com/questions/1212463/…

Journeyman Geek

hm, purged comments, closed question

Don't really see what else I can do short of nuking the question and I see no reason to

djsmiley2k

4:08 PM

@JourneymanGeek nuke the answer that adds nothing

tho that might make Karel post more crap :/

Journeyman Geek

the question itself is closed

and I'm going to sleep ;p

4:39 PM

@Burgi What a mess there is these days...

Aren't you afraid to come out?

Burgi

nah, i've grown up with terrorism

its also not the first terrorist attack in manchester

its like me asking you if you are afraid to go outside with Palestinian rockets

world keeps turning

@Rahul2001 why don't you have screens?

Rahul2001

Eh, monkeys aren't a big problem

Heh, teachers in my school sometimes make jokes about kids being homosexual, and honestly, it's just disgusting

And it's kinda shocking because my school has a pretty big pro LGBT+ campaign

Boris_yo

5:02 PM

@Rahul2001 Kids must stop watching US mainstream controlled by illuminati. They want to degrade and destroy humanity and leave 500,000 of smartest people to themselves.

Avery

5:19 PM

@Rahul2001 that's nice

except the thing above that

We have a teacher who's like, making racist, sexist and homophobic/transphobic insults every single lesson

and weirdly, only I care.

Rahul2001

@Avery It's pretty much the same here

Avery

@Rahul2001 that sucks

Rahul2001

5:49 PM

@Avery indeed.

What sucks more is how they perceive sexist and racist topics to be unacceptable for conversation and/or humour but not ones related to homosexualitiy and being transgender.

They aren't exactly phobic, but more derogatory. Like a few days ago a teacher saw a guy with neat and well-kept nails and said "Are you gay? Are you sure that you're a boy?"

@Avery WOOHOO! Drives arrived!

Avery

nice!

Rahul2001

6:05 PM

Does anyone here have experience with TrueCrypt?

Avery

Kinda, why?

Also use veracrypt if you want plausible deniability or LUKS/Bitlocker if you don't.

Rahul2001

@Avery I'm thinking of installing it on this USB

Rahul2001

6:17 PM

Okay shit. Shit shit shit..

Avery

But now that you've publicly stated your intentions, the plausible deniability is... harder to get to

use bitlocker/luks

@Rahul2001 what happned

Rahul2001

I texted my best friend (previously girlfriend, were kinda unsure on that thing). Her mum read it. And I'm not allowed to talk to her anymore.

Avery

ouch :(

Rahul2001

Okay, this sucks

That was not the kind of text you ever let your SO's mum read. Not sexual or anything, but still.

Avery

@Rahul2001 if you'd like to talk let me know, I prefer discord but have pmuch everything installed

Rahul2001

6:23 PM

@Avery telegram works for you?

If not, I've been meaning to join discord for ages anyway

Avery

Yep, telegram is OK, but I'm not sure if I should post my number on a public chat.

Do you have signal?

djsmiley2k

yawn

I have no advice

Avery

done

djsmiley2k

sry

woo

jokerdino

6:36 PM

@Avery you don't need to post your number.

Avery

yeah I saw that we don't

(i'm @aveao for all your spamming needs)

OK pinging.

I'm kinda too

I ponged.

7:36 PM

Creating my first decent data backup!

William

@Avery so what is your friends name

keep guessing

Brantly

nope

Can I have a hint

7:41 PM

It only has letters of avertly, and starts with t.

William

Tyler

Avery

bingo

William

I think you should have named it Tylerav

Avery

I didn't name it

William

... so he chose that name

Avery

7:43 PM

yes

tylerav sounds like tylenol

Rahul2001

lol

I have 104GB of data left, and a couple of hours

What should I do?

DavidPostill

@Rahul2001 That's 10 times my monthly data allowance :/

Rahul2001

@DavidPostill Yeah, I have access to my uncle's WiFi connection, and the plan expires in a couple of hours

He's a pretty heave internet user

Total data per month is 240GB for him

Avery

holy hell that's nice

I only get 12

Rahul2001

I should probably set up a couple of seed boxes

Hm, is there a way to tell bittorent clients that you can seed more and therefore allow more connections?

William

7:54 PM

@Rahul2001 who do you have? Cellular networks I dont' believe go that high and my homeline isn't capped

Rahul2001

@William Well, I can definitely seed from my home connection the next month, I'll be out of town. And I also have a 250 GB allowance

@William Airtel

Burgi

8:53 PM

@DavidPostill how did your interviews go?

@JourneymanGeek @Rahul2001 i feel i missed a vital part of the conversation

Rahul2001

@Burgi nothing important

5 hours ago, by Rahul2001

@JourneymanGeek huh?

9 hours ago, by Journeyman Geek

I think this person is brilliant

DavidPostill

@Burgi Haven't heard. It seemed to go very well and the interviewer promised feedback either way (probably by last Friday). So I'm very pissed off they didn't keep their word.

Rahul2001

@DavidPostill :(

DavidPostill

He said I was the only person they've interviewed in 2 years to give the expected answer to 2 of the tech questions, which makes it even worse.

Rahul2001

Send a follow-up email?

DavidPostill

8:59 PM

@Rahul2001 No point.

Michael Frank

Hack them. thumbs up

Rahul2001

@DavidPostill Ask what went wrong nonetheless

DavidPostill

If they wanted me they would have gotten in touch by now.

Rahul2001

@DavidPostill Oh, want me to DDoS them? Or... attack them in other ways?

I'd be more then happy to.

DavidPostill

@Rahul2001 No.

Rahul2001

9:02 PM

(-_-)"

Michael Frank

@Rahul2001 Retaliation over rejection? Cause that works so well...

Burgi

@DavidPostill call them

Ben N

They might have just lost your info; it's worth a shot

Burgi

@Rahul2001 yeah the programmer was me

Rahul2001

@MichaelFrank I was joking

DavidPostill

9:25 PM

@BenN I don't think so. HR has my email and phone number. As does my CV.

Rahul2001

@DavidPostill :(

Burgi

9:59 PM

@DavidPostill i would call them

Michael Frank

10:29 PM

When you finally figure out why your script is giving you the same results for every object... and you realise it's because your code is only checking the ACLs of the same root folder, over and over...

$access = (get-acl -Path $folder.Root)

Ben N

Whoops

Michael Frank

Yeeeeeeaap

That's what happens when you're more concerned with the output looking right instead of making sure it gives you correct results. :/

$access = (get-acl -Path $folder.FullName) - Fixed!

Anyone know any good wifi analyzer utilities? My internet is rough and I live in a basement apartment. Using landlords connection and unsure of where it is, wanted to try and point my antennas to the strongest direction in the hopes of slightly improving it
