speaking of lava, stealth unnerf of lava in dark age of camelot... hilarity. i know it was ages ago, but i still giggle because i had friends that lost all their gear for trying to WALK on LAVA.
the one i remember was a pile of people all running towards it... by the time they realized they were taking damage it was to late. and it was waves of people jumping to their doom.
yeah, it was a "shortcut" that they un-nerfed and didn't tell anyone.
"Hey, let's un-nerf the lava shortcut" "Shouldn't we tell them they'll lose all their crap?" "Shouldn't they have not been walking on lava in the first place?" "Fair point" "Okay, let's watch. This is going to be hilarious."
I just see it getting sticky around where the shared kernel thing happens, so I was wondering how that was handled. It's NP not knowing... I mean, if I knew, I wouldn't ask.
Oh well, back to the cleaning. The counter is up next... then the floor.
@JourneymanGeek lxc seems like sort of a predecessor to docker. according to the reading, lxc supports non-native arch, but docker doesn't. that's sort of why i was wondering how it was done in lxc
@hbdgaf: Actually, you're running an x86 container, and telling it to pass all the programs you run to qemu to execute
"Also, because of limitations in qemu-user-static, a few packages from the “host” architecture are installed in the container. These are mostly anything that requires the use of ptrace (upstart) or the use of netlink (mountall, iproute and isc-dhcp-client)."
Performance will suffer. But it depends on what you're doing with it I guess.
If it's an Nvidia card and you simply want it for CUDA, then it might work fine.
Gaming... er, not so much.
Wow, I guess I never realized just how high the bandwidth requirements for PCI-E actually are. Even eSATA doesn't come anywhere close. Not by a long shot.
I have Google Music on my phone. The phone plays the music but instead of playing through the phone's speakers, I pipe the audio to the PC through Bluetooth.
I'm troubleshooting various issues with my Ubuntu system. I've been asking them in the AskUbuntu forum, but they haven't been getting a lot of attention. That could easily be my fault for various reasons, but I wonder if I might have more success (due to more exposure to a larger audience) post...
Askubuntu tells me I'm at risk of getting blocked from asking any questions. I'd be grateful if the community would help me out with what i ask for, and if the question seems inappropriate, offer suggestions rather than closing it or marking it as inappropriate or unspecific and stuff.

I got it fixed! Never noticed that small switch under dirt at the bottom side of my machine, something like here. Yes, it was apparently a hard lock problem. Thank you for your general debugging instructions, learnt a ton. — user25257 Sep 22 '11 at 0:00
I was going through the "first post" review queue, and I came across this answer. I thought "93 rep? No answers? Seems fishy". I looked at his profile, and he has answers dating back to Oct 15th. What's up with that?

@Whaaaaaat Exactly :D Can't wait to see what it's like :D
Also, PSA: Purchasing my CPU today!!! :D :D
Kinda funny. I deposited a bunch of money at my local bank and then withdrew some of that for paying for components. Little did I know until later that the bank counted the $180 withdrawal as a deposit.
So, I had $600 in my account instead of the $260 I should have had
Dangit. Just realized that @blade19899 beat me to the dev version of Firefox :P
FYI: I'm about to turn on a new web accelerator on askubuntu.com. In theory, nobody should notice anything except it will be a bit faster for anonymous users (especially if they are far from NYC). Please be on the lookout for complaints and report them to me here in chat. @tomontime or on meta.
Wow. Seems to be working... and pretty low latency from here.
