@Braiam @Whaaaaaat?

@RPiAwesomeness /sarcasm

@hbdgaf agreed

Wait...is this a new thing? Using @Whaaaaaat as a phrase?

hbdgaf

it's from family guy. character meg. someone decided to use it as a username to be punny

here's the reference youtube.com/watch?v=d-NYj03wOYA

12:23 AM

Lucio:
@Whaaaaaat Just ping yourself for the next what :D

RPi Awesomeness

@hbdgaf Ah, well...I've never watched Family Guy...so I wouldn't get the reference :P

Whaaaaaat

@hbdgaf Not where that came from. Look at my avatar.

hbdgaf

despicable me ripped off family guy. i'm just peeling the onion

Whaaaaaat

@hbdgaf And they ripped me off in 3rd grade. Shall we keep going?

RPi Awesomeness

lolol

hbdgaf

12:26 AM

i think it just comes back to which one memed. you didn't meme in third grade. fg did. i didn't meme with coffee. i need coffee.... wait i did, but you see what i'm saying. when it gets to be a meme, then there's a starting point.

You pinged me @Braiam?

Braiam

@Whaaaaaat you did, actually

12:29 AM

Ah yes. You need to run for mod.

RPi Awesomeness

I only like 3-4 of the ones that OMG! Ubuntu! chose, but in looking over ALL of the entries, some of them are really amazing. I'm going to do a top-20 writeup on my Blog...

Of the chosen ones, this was my favorite: Reminiscent Rain

hbdgaf

blarg. we clearly have different tastes in wallpaper

Whaaaaaat

I'm going to skip 14.10

hbdgaf

i skip everything non-lts and pull in all the edger bits i want with ppas

RPi Awesomeness

@hbdgaf Which ones do you like?

I changed all the macs in my high school to this once :

@Whaaaaaat You not like Mac?

hbdgaf

I only ever got detention once. It was for breaking some kid's collar bone by accident when he tried to suplex me.

Mac is a spin off of Linux.

hbdgaf

No, Mac is a spin off of a posix compliant system that linux is also a spinoff of

12:56 AM

@hbdgaf so, they made a car out of the flower display out front at this one, using the circle platforms for wheels and tape in the center to look like hubcaps

hbdgaf

Weird. We do odd displays sometimes, but it's usually all product.'

Mateo

so, a big flower car... interesting

oh, got hooked on an anime

seen it on some top tens. haven't watched it yet though

@NathanOsman good? bad?

I liked the keyboard when I first tried it on the nexus

Nathan Osman

Sorry, I lost 3G for a sec. there.

Had to restart to get data back.

At least the screen doesn't die now.

@CharlesGreen Depends on the question. Most of them are a no.

Although as the release date gets closer we tend to loosen up.

@NathanOsman Does your Nexus 5 have data issues? A friend of mine's had a part come loose inside and now wifi and data doesn't work o_O

Nathan Osman

3:24 AM

@Seth It works... I think the problem is partly with Ubuntu Touch and partly with my carrier.

The area I was travelling through at the time is known for poor signal.

Oh dear.

I'm trying to build Firefox OS on a DigitalOcean droplet.

fatal: Out of memory, malloc failed (tried to allocate 440363704 bytes)

I guess the server needs more RAM.

I'll try it again. If it fails, I'll have to spin up a 1GB server.

Journeyman Geek

@NathanOsman: wouldn't building it on your own vm make more sense?

Nathan Osman

Absolutely not. My Internet connection barely squeaks above 1 Mbps.

A droplet will have >100 Mbps.

Meh, I'll just go with 2 GB for good measure.

Retrying build...

Avinash Raj

hi..

i want to do some text processing with python. IS there any link which shows how to do that?

Nathan Osman

5:30 AM

What type of processing?

Python isn't particularly well suited to large amounts of text processing... Perl is better cut out for that sort of thing.

But Python is way easier to use/learn.

muru

"some" is very vague. What do you want to do?

Nathan Osman

Ta-da! I have a build of FirefoxOS for MultiROM: files.quickmediasolutions.com/b2g/signed_b2g.zip

Whaaaaaat

@NathanOsman You are GOD.

Nathan Osman

Uhm, no.

But I enjoyed putting it together.

Whaaaaaat

Yes. FirefoxOS for Multirom

If only my tablet didn't shatter.

Nathan Osman

5:45 AM

I compiled it on a VPS with 2 GB of RAM. Next time I'll use a server with 4 GB of RAM.

It kept exhausting memory until I just said "fine, I'll enable swap."

I ran:

sysctl vm.swappiness=40

... to ensure that stuff wasn't getting sent to swap too hastily.

Even so, the build took nearly two hours and ate 20 GB of space on disk.

Whaaaaaat

why 20gb?

I would have loved you for that. I always wanted to try out FirefoxOS.

But:

Nathan Osman

6:02 AM

:(

@Whaaaaaat Android builds are notorious for taking up extraordinary amounts of space on disk. And FirefoxOS borrows a lot of components from Android.

Journeyman Geek

@NathanOsman Yi. Is the final build that big?

@hbdgaf yea.. but i dont know why some body down voted the quesion..

hbdgaf

@Pramod it wasn't me... but it's probably because they found several similar questions and several bug reports.

like trying to teach you to search before you ask.

Pramod

@hbdgaf may be. But still we need to resolve this issue right.? im just trying to get any one have any work around this issue.. hmm ok ok.

hbdgaf

@Pramod no, we don't resolve bugs on AU. it's in the FAQ

again, the "undeserved downvote" probably trying to teach you to read before you ask.

Oliver Schöning

Sorry for beating a dead horse. But I just don't get the "more secure" aspect of Ubuntu and Linux in general. Surely if a piece of malware convinces you to install it on Ubuntu it can do all the damage it likes? I mean windows 8 gives me a admin warning before I can install or run specific softwares

Braiam

@JorgeCastro if I remove the top 100 it runs out of memory, but it's more than 25k questions

Jorge Castro

hah, awesome, +1!

@Oliver People don't generally install software from untrusted sources

Oliver Schöning

So it's only a matter of mindset then?

Jorge Castro

I don't really understand the question

Braiam

@OliverSchöning there's a saying: the most vulnerable part of any complicated system is their users

Oliver Schöning

7:40 PM

Heh.. nice :)

Seth

@Braiam 25k questions? We even have that many? Wow.

Oliver Schöning

@JorgeCastro I just seem have stumbled upon a lot of "Pick linux because it is more secure" answers. And they just did not really make sense to me..

Jorge Castro

Well, if people get malware from downloading things off the web randomly

you just remove that as an option

Seth

@OliverSchöning You cannot code security. Security is a mindset.

Oliver Schöning

@JorgeCastro What do you mean?

Yeah that is what I am thinking @Seth.

Jorge Castro

7:44 PM

The Debian/Ubuntu model is like a predecessor to the app store

Seth

It is true Linux has a "better" way of handling things, like file permissions, than Windows, and that makes it somewhat more secure.

Jorge Castro

the whole point is to not get software from the web

Whaaaaaat

@Seth Usually. It's hard to sneak stuff on to linux.

The user always knows what is happening.

Seth

No, they don't.

Like I said, it is better than Windows, but certainly not foolproof.

Oliver Schöning

How is software approved then? I mean app stores seem to be a great way of keeping out the competition

Whaaaaaat

If you know what and where to look, you can see everything that is happening.

Every process. Every command executed is logged if you know where to go.

Whaaaaaat

guntbert

@Seth, ok :-)

Seth

thanks for pointing it out :)

Oliver Schöning

@Whaaaaaat I think Microsoft is gonna fire their entire marketing team if they start suggesting to port things to Linux :p

Seth

Did you get your question answered @OliverSchöning?

Oliver Schöning

7:58 PM

If Linux is not really more secure, just less crap gets downloaded from the web. Then yes.

Seth

@OliverSchöning If you install a malicious application, all bets are off, although the Linux permission system might save you, depending on how you installed it.

Oliver Schöning

Cool. I tried around 10 times on my laptop. But it might be blacklisted. I stick with Windows until I buy a new laptop. I am dreaming of buying the Surface Pro 3. But I would not want to install Ubuntu on that.

They should fix Chromium in Ubuntu btw.. At least when I tried it it had the minimize/close symbol on the right.

hbdgaf

The problem isn't just Windows. A lot of the problem is "So, someone downloaded this crack/keygen for 100 different applications. You can't really tell for each one individually, but when it's every application on your box - it gets noticeable FAST"

Jorge Castro

you need to right click on the title bar in chromium and do "use system titlebars"

Only thing I don't feel bad about is that I havent activated windows yet lol

hbdgaf

AU doesn't support piracy. windows, office, adobe, or otherwise. don't go putting words in someone's mouth. pirate-bay is just a set of trackers. they could track ubuntu isos, defcon talks, or any number of other things that are free where torrents are just a distribution medium that reduces server load.

It's not bad.

Stack Exchange doesn't recognize it as a mobile browser.

I will have to file a bug on Meta.

It is remarkably stable.

Seth

You sure that's an SE bug and not a FF-OS one?

@NathanOsman That is good to here.

Nathan Osman

If I remember correctly, they use the User Agent to decide whether you get the mobile version or not.

Whaaaaaat

FFOS looks cool.

I want it.

It is.

I miss my swipe keyboard though.

Seth

@NathanOsman yeah, so perhaps the OS is giving the desktop user agent. Unlikely I suppose.

Nathan Osman

Hang on.

It only fails in chat.

I get the mobile version of the sites.

Whaaaaaat

I EFFING HATE FGITW

Seth

@NathanOsman Oh, ok, odd.

You know there's something wrong when your answer which just WORKS (and was tested) gets ignored to a question where you need ~30 comments for debugging.

Have you tried turning it off and back on again? — Whaaaaaat 13 mins ago

Oh dear..

It does fix problems. I think that is one of them.

It worked for me pretty often.

Lucio

We should have a bot for that

Whaaaaaat

AGREED

Lucio

For every new question, the comment.

Imagine how productive it would be?

Right there. "Have you tried turning it off and on again?"

If the OP says no, close automatically!

Whaaaaaat

Some questions here don't need a reboot though.
