Q: Is it bad practice to use your real name online?

On some accounts I use my real name on-line(G+/fb/wiki/Personal blog), others(Q&A/Gaming) I use an alias. My question is: Security and privacy wise, what can people do with my real name? What are the harm, and dangers of using your real name on-line.

If people are so dim that they need to use an internet reputation metric that involves social media...I don't really want to work there anyway.

blade19899

Too tired to fully grasp the concept of your comment. But, i just got bored at work, so, decided to ask something.

hbdgaf

It wasn't directed at you, it was directed at the nature of the question. If an employer thinks my personal beliefs have anything to do with how I do my job, they already think so little of me and my ability to separate life and work that I don't really want to work for them

@blade19899 ^^ clarification for the tired.

blade19899

Thanks! And thats what i think also!

If i doe a great job, and am a Cosplayer(am not) outside of the office. Should that really matter to my boss. As long as i do my job the best i can, then it shouldn't matter

Q: Bad edit made to my question about dmraid

This is the question in question. Dima edited my question which prompted a reopen. Then dima answered the new version of the question. Problem is, Dima's edit is wildly different from the question I asked. Dima basically says "duh, add the uuid of the device to your fstab". This is a fantastic ...

@djeikyb - check my comment. see i it helps

WOOT! chili for the next 2 weeks is made. meal preparation done in the most efficient fashion possible.

djeikyb

@hbdgaf thanks for the suggestion. in my case, boot wasn't being held up, it was just that the devices didn't show up

Braiam

@djeikyb you maybe want to rollback your question, no?

djeikyb

i rolled back the edit and answered it

is it not showing up for you?

hbdgaf

Oh, well then something bailed. If everything were designed perfectly, a bail would have returned false... and the wrapper would have seen that. And the nowait option would then have tried to mount it again. Until pure awesome followed. Then, it's hard to expect anything to be designed perfectly.

maybe I just updated the answer, now I see the revisions and it's there

@djeikyb just removing the tag ;) I don't think is relevant

djeikyb

@hbdgaf i'm shocked that i didn't think back then to just add an upstart job thing to automate the dmraid command

@Braiam cool deal, yeah, the tag isn't that useful, especially since my method of solution is so generic

hbdgaf

interpret context. back then upstart was a little alien for everyone if it was that long ago

Braiam

djeikyb

i do hope @Dima posts a question/answer. it really does seem useful info to have here in general

@hbdgaf well, whatever init script was around at the time to hack on

hbdgaf

1:22 AM

upstart was around some time ago, and people didn't feel as right with it... so they didn't write scripts that otherwise would have been written b/c change is painful and they knew init scripts would eventually be deprecated. so instead of writing deprecated awesome, they elected not to write at all

djeikyb

haha, unfortunately, just two months before that question i recommended using upstart to enable wake-on-lan every boot: askubuntu.com/a/47923/8515

?

@JourneymanGeek no i m not wasting your time

Journeyman Geek

ahh, you did something someone asked you to

bad news is? yeah

Do you still have the system running? Can you look at attributes and tell me if there's any in pink?

@Utkarsh: see above

Utkarsh

yea system is running but still this is happening often

and no nothing is pink

Journeyman Geek

there's got to be something in pink

you are having errors in data

at the very least you have bad clusters

so you mean that i have to change my HDD?

Journeyman Geek

Yes you do.

but i can't as i am poor

can't i repair this one?

You can run linux off a thumb drive

maybe

will it?

but you can't trust it.

Utkarsh

wouldnt it be slow?

better than not working at all.

Here's the thing. life means compromises.

I'm trying to see how best we can minimise the pain

and to do that, I need to know exactly how bad your HDD is

Utkarsh

1:02 PM

okay thanks

wait

can you take my system on remote?

Journeyman Geek

I don't want to

Utkarsh

then how would i tell you the condition of my HDD

Journeyman Geek

I want to teach you to fish. Not hand you a fish

Utkarsh

okay

please tell me how to?

how could i tell you the condition of my HDD? are there any tools?

@JourneymanGeek

Journeyman Geek

I just told you what tool and where to look

Utkarsh

1:05 PM

but i cant see anything pink

Journeyman Geek

hm

wait

did you run gsmartcontrol with sudo?

Utkarsh

no, i just went to dash and typed "gsmart..."

Journeyman Geek

protip

almost all diagnostic tools need root access

do it again as sudo

Utkarsh

okay

Journeyman Geek

this is an example of a drive with bad sectors

(Yeah, I am still running it, though not as a boot drive)

Utkarsh

1:07 PM

but why are you putting your data on risk?

Journeyman Geek

good news? You probably do not need a new HDD

Bad news?

I have no idea what's wrong

Utkarsh

hmmmm....

Journeyman Geek

that dosen't explain the errors in the error log tho

Utkarsh

and one thing more,

Journeyman Geek

as for the data?

Utkarsh

1:09 PM

this happened since i started to shut down my pc from mains without shutting down properly

Journeyman Geek

Its all backed up or transient

hm

and your system fscked no?

Utkarsh

i ran this command but still

Journeyman Geek

OH

Utkarsh

i also dual boot

?

Journeyman Geek

cyberciti.biz/faq/…

you need to adjust it a bit (sudo su, not su -) but that will force your drive to check

if that dosen't work? back up and reformat

I'm out of ideas at this point

okay dear

i will try this all

if still, i will reformat

thanks again

Journeyman Geek

neither

its installed before either of them

Braiam

@AvinashRaj I have no freaking idea what you are talking about, and even if I had I probably wouldn't know the answer either

Journeyman Geek

@AvinashRaj: more specifically its stored in the boot sector

so, its in neither

Master boot record

A master boot record (MBR) is a special type of boot sector at the very beginning of partitioned computer mass storage devices like fixed disks or removable drives intended for use with IBM PC-compatible systems and beyond. The concept of MBRs was publicly introduced in 1983 with PC DOS 2.0. The MBR holds the information on how the logical partitions, containing file systems, are organized on that medium. Besides that, the MBR also contains executable code to function as a loader for the installed operating system — usually by passing control over to the loader's second stage, or i...

^^^^ read it and be enlightened.

Avinash Raj

@JourneymanGeek did we can able to see that?i think no.

Journeyman Geek

er...

I think the sentance structure was a little off there

@AvinashRaj: You generally can't access that, but dd can copy the mbr into an image

then, I donno, you can peek at it with a hex editor or something

(but don't. Its a path that leads to madness. The next thing you know, you will be disassembling software and writing no-op sleds)

hbdgaf

@AvinashRaj wat? the only way i could see that happening is if it were some kind of external raid device that is enumerating wrong.

Avinash Raj

@hbdgaf In this askubuntu.com/questions/387369/windows-8-ubuntu-in-grub creating menuentry for windows in grub will work or not

hbdgaf

@AvinashRaj it doesn't matter how many MBRs you install grub on. that's not the problem. even with no MBR magic updategrub should find windows...i've never EVER had windows on an MBR to get it booting.

Journeyman Geek

@AvinashRaj: there's two disks.

@Wilf that comment was just random, you posted a link about antivirus for linux when I was talking about viruses on windows can't harm a Linux platform. Why did you even write that comment? It wasn't constructive in any way! it was just a statement that there is antivirus for Linux. But you didn't explain why you need it...

Braiam

Avinash Raj

@hbdgaf is that possible to make multiboot linux usb in manual way

hbdgaf

2:39 PM

It's always possible, but it doesn't fix whatever the problem is.

Watch it turn out to be a UEFI windows install and the grub detection scripts were smart enough not to list it instead of listing it and dropping them at a black screen.

Avinash Raj

op asked to delete this askubuntu.com/questions/387464/…

reboot made it work means he did the .bashrc fix or the .profile fix and just had to log out and log back in to get it applied to his XSession probably.

Journeyman Geek

@AvinashRaj: also, I'd note that people can actually read the main site. If I know an answer to something, I would answer ;p

Avinash Raj

@JourneymanGeek if he posted "i rebooted my pc then it works" as answer.It was considered as an answer.

Journeyman Geek

2:51 PM

@AvinashRaj: its kind of a boring answer

hbdgaf

Yes. This is true. I'm not sure where it falls. That's why we have mods. To determine if deletion on request is because of feeling dumb and not rebooting after modifying environment variables or if the answer was already floating around the site and a second question really wasn't necessary.

Journeyman Geek

yup

but commenting for mod attention is less effective than flagging

hbdgaf

i had already flagged it ;)

so some friends are interested in rtl-sdr. i'm debating on trying to implement a police scanner. seems like an open source $30 police scanner beats the pants off of a $300 blinkenbox walkie talkie looking thing.

@Braiam I didn't answer that question beacuse I didn't understand the question fully, like what is the OP actually asking for?

And if that is what he's asking for then it's a dupe..

Braiam

@Alvar he's asking it he can install his windows antivirus in linux, if ubuntu allows it. I'm just answering that you shouldn't install a windows antivirus but a linux antivirus ;)

... that if he's paranoid enough

Alvar

@Braiam if he's paranoid enough eh shouldn't use internet.... viruses aren't as scary as hackers! ;)

hbdgaf

A recommendation of other products might be nice. Say someone who has a linux client? I mean clam is the free solution, but as much as I think AV is retarded... Bitdefender and F-Secure(that licenses their engine and writes their own definitions) both have linux clients if memory serves(on both points).

I used avast last time, it work pretty well. but If I remember correctly it's gone now. That was searching for Windows viruses though..

5:37 PM

I have a question: if I have dual boot: Ubuntu 13.10 (65GB harddrive) and other Ubuntu version (435 GB harddrive), is true that because the hard drive is smaller Ubuntu 13.10 runs faster than the other one?

I had Ubuntu 13.10 as single os on my machine, and it was slower.

Now it is a lot faster!

Why?

Braiam

12

A: Does storage capacity affect hard drive performance?

A generalisation isn't useful, but mostly when talking similar models/same series I'd say the larger drive would be faster due to higher data density in some way (be it more platters and heads, or just denser platters). The bigger model would likely be newer as well and could benefit from firmwa...

イオニカビザウ

@Braiam Exactly my situation. But I didn't understand the answer. Is it yes or no?

Mateo

@Seth yeah, probably, I think it was a scaling problem - I'll redo it on the mac

hbdgaf

partition size doesn't directly affect performance. fragmentation could, as could being at the end of the long list of present files...although not as largely as you are indicating. it's more likely gui responsiveness streamlining. just saying.

i think they're putting a lot of effort in to making unity less slow. i haven't noticed much performance difference across xubuntu installs for the last 3 releases except for breaking the audio applet on x64

Braiam

6:04 PM

@イオニカビザウ basically, the bigger the disk the faster, the nearest to the start of the disk the faster too

@hbdgaf yeah, they are trying to make that unity doesn't require opengl anymore... gnome3 doesn't require HWA, so mmv

@Utkarsh I have a dieing hard-drive on my Ubuntu laptop, I don't do anything important on it and Ubuntu doesn't move things randomly into black-holes like windows does, so I'll let it die a natural death. So If anything is important on there then yes - get it off fast and buy a new one.
