Well, you could use a Python back-end that uses SQLite...

I haven't worked with that yet, but Python all the things anyway.

@ParanoidPanda Which one?

Zacharee1

Now if only there were tutorials for that

hey, I might be able to pass the PA permit test

Byte Commander

Zacharee1

whew

Byte Commander

Holy cow!? This answer is basically saying "I have no idea about anything you asked" and still got two upvotes???

A: Ubuntu Touch - Unable to delete 5 pictures in on go

Has anyone come across this issue before, where if you try to delete 5 or more pictures (after selecting them all together), on confirming the delete, the gallery crashed and will close down? I haven't experienced this issue. Is this a known bug or is there a workaround for it? I could...

Nathan Osman

Linode just doubled my RAM.

Zacharee1

@ByteCommander NAA to the extreme

Byte Commander

Definitely.

Who the heck upvoted this??

Zacharee1

Maybe they were using my Tor nodes

which @Serg set up for me :p

Byte Commander

You own a tor node?

Zacharee1

7:06 PM

no

Serg joke

Byte Commander

Aha.

I once played with the thought of running one, but then realized that my upload bandwidth is far too low.

Zacharee1

heh

I did look up the silkroad onion address for idk why

probably on the NSA list now :p

Byte Commander

silkroad?

Isn't that some online black market-like place?

Zacharee1

The drug trafficking black market on the dark web?

Byte Commander

^ that.

I've hit the return key instead of the apostrophe...

Zacharee1

7:09 PM

ze dark und skary dark veb

lol

Byte Commander

An SE site about the darknet just started btw.

[deepweb.se]

Zacharee1

am I speaking German yet?

ooh

[darknet.se]

cool

Hmm...

7:10 PM

dunno if you're serious

Byte Commander

Seems not to have a magic link yet.

Zacharee1

Well it's still a proposal

closed after 21 days in beta

Byte Commander

Aww...

Too bad.

Do they say why?

Zacharee1

and darknet.se just doesn't exist

@ByteCommander not enough active users, not enough questions per day, not enough answers per question

Deep Web – deepweb.stackexchange.com

Q&A site for parts of the internet that cannot be indexed by traditional search engines

Closed after 21 days in beta.

user136984

There is a fat bitty hamster on me right now eating me jumper... :D

Byte Commander

7:12 PM

It did exist, I was active there on a few days during private beta, but then obviously forgot about it...

Zacharee1

@ParanoidPanda o_O wat

Byte Commander

@ParanoidPanda Any non-fat animals around?

user136984

@ByteCommander: No.

Byte Commander

Fat wood pigeons, fat hamsters, fat pandas... You should keep your chocolate cake depots secret.

Zacharee1

@ParanoidPanda wait you have a hamster?

user136984

7:13 PM

Yes, I also have lighting so must turn off...

Zacharee1

gimme the hamster

Byte Commander

Probably even your earthworms are obese. :-/

Zacharee1

@ParanoidPanda had a chance to check out encryption in NitroShare yet?

Instructions for testing out TLS (encrypted transfers) with NitroShare are finally here: https://gist.github.com/nathan-osman/a3233f77c44ee66911823524a6ebe70e

Byte Commander

Is this SPAM? askubuntu.com/a/787890/367990

It's that guy's only post here and he posted nearly the same on Super User as well, but both questions are about said Quickbook software. The shortened link seems to redirect to their homepage (or a good fake maybe?)

Zacharee1

@ByteCommander shortened link, obvious scam site

Videonauth

@ByteCommander definitively spam

lands you on a page for a support service

Byte Commander

Yes, after examining that linked page closer, I think so too. Definitely.

Videonauth

alas its the support site for the software in question but well what value does that answer have really ?

Mateo

7:36 PM

@NathanOsman sweet

Zacharee1

Can you guys try going to x-p-w.tk/cp.php and seeing what happens?

Videonauth

se a login page but took approx 15 seconds to show up

Zacharee1

kk

don't care about times yet

just the general security

@Videonauth and if you log in with admin zaqxsw?

(obviously going to change that login)

Videonauth

well the next site was suprisingly fast to display ;)

Zacharee1

well there's nothing there :p

Byte Commander

7:40 PM

@Videonauth Not an official support page though. Also, shortened link, only posts ever, bad writing style, and the site has no WOT rating.

Videonauth

this is why i said spam

Zacharee1

@ByteCommander u WOT m8?

Byte Commander

I do.

Zacharee1

sigh

Byte Commander

mywot.com

It's a Firefox add-on that shows ratings for web sites.

Zacharee1

7:42 PM

do you know the meme?

Byte Commander

(Web Of Trust)

No.

Zacharee1

sigh

SmokeDetector

[ SmokeDetector ] All of this user's posts are spam: user 557877 on askubuntu.com

Anyone know SQL?

user136984

@NathanOsman: I've been unable to start NitroShare...

Zacharee1

7:43 PM

hwell hwell hwell @SmokeDetector

@SmokeDetector lol, they had an account on Super User, but it looks like it got banned

Byte Commander

@SmokeDetector I know. I told you so.

user136984

@Zacharee1 @ByteCommander: My hamster is huge for a Dwarf, almost the size of a Syrian actually... :D

Byte Commander

@Zacharee1 I spam-flagged his post there too. Obviously those guys are faster than we.

Zacharee1

lol

pics

Videonauth

whos playing with smokey :) ?

user136984

7:45 PM

And why does the lighting only happen when I actually have my computer on?

Byte Commander

@Videonauth o|

Zacharee1

@ParanoidPanda lighting?

user136984

Yes... It knocked out some of my electronic devices in the past so I don't take any chances now and just have to switch everything off...

Byte Commander

@ParanoidPanda Your negative aura.

user136984

:D

user136984

7:47 PM

@ByteCommander: Perhaps it's just the Hamsters of Heaven are excited around me. :P

Byte Commander

It fried the phone socket of my FritzBox once. Internet continued to work, luckily...

Zacharee1

Are we talking about lightning?

user136984

I think my hamster is probably diabetic though... :(

user136984

@Zacharee1: Yes, sorry, that's what I meant... :D

Zacharee1

ahh

Byte Commander

7:48 PM

Well, can we please have this finally spam-flagged to death? askubuntu.com/a/787890/367990

Someone who still has 15k+ rep should protect the question as well.

Zacharee1

pew pew

Byte Commander

@Zacharee1 Your bullets are too small.

Seth

You should listen to Barack Obama. That guy knows what he is talking about.

Zacharee1

PEW PEW

Byte Commander

Luckily Eric Carvalho took out his mod bazooka and nuked it :D

Zacharee1

7:50 PM

KABOOM

I'm the SFX generator

Seth

I don't know why that guy wastes his delete votes on spam..

They don't do much.

Byte Commander

While we have already warmed up the deletion guns, what about this one? askubuntu.com/a/787164/367990

Zacharee1

Already flagged

Seth

@EricCarvalho you should flag stuff like this as spam instead of (or at least along with) voting to delete it. That will get it deleted faster and harder :)

Byte Commander

No idea how that managed to get 2 upvotes though.

Zacharee1

7:53 PM

@ByteCommander My Tor nodes. I thought we went through this

:p

Seth

@ByteCommander da bleep?!

Byte Commander

7:57 PM

Reminds me of CaH.

I had that as white card yesterday.

Zacharee1

lol

Anyone know what the inverse of INSERT INTO is for MySQL?

Byte Commander

PULL OUT maybe?

(joke, just another reference to CaH ;D )

Zacharee1

lol

phew

got rid of the old credentials

Videonauth

8:23 PM

@ByteCommander you not like me, are you ? ;)

Rinzwind

@Zacharee1 que? what do you mean by "inverse"?

Zacharee1

There's INSERT INTO, but no direct translation for DELETE FROM

I figured it out though

Byte Commander

@Videonauth What do you mean?

Videonauth

well your latest comment ;) just wait for the first people to down-vote my answer

I answered with the first solution which came to my mind

Byte Commander

I'm not saying it's wrong, I just say that in general, using sudo should be preferred over entering a root shell (no matter whether using sudo su, sudo -i, ...). And that's a fact.

Videonauth

8:34 PM

well thats o.k., I noted that, well nvm, you might not know why i was saying that

Byte Commander

Now I think I don't know any more what you're trying to say. You can talk openly to me, what's wrong?

Videonauth

nothing with you and nothing i want to say in here

you'll get a mail in a few

Byte Commander

Huh?

Why do you have my mail address?

Videonauth

do i need to have it ? ;)

no used contact this user on launchpad

,)

Byte Commander

Oh... That PGP key...

Well...

Videonauth

8:46 PM

unless you used a fake adress there you should get a mail

btw your email showing public as well on launchpad

Byte Commander

Wait, you can send messages to Launchpad accounts?

O.O

>.<

...

must fix that...

Videonauth

there is that little button sayign contact this user

you can hide your personal mail adress but you cant hide that button

but you should hide your email adress, it is under the 'change details'

no worries just wanted to explain to you outside of chat wont send more :)

but you should really hide your email adress on your LP page

Byte Commander

Well, I thought I had it configured like that.

Videonauth

np now you have

Byte Commander

Anyway, it's hidden now and I also changed that boring icon.

Do you use tox btw?

That would be easier to chat in private.

Videonauth

8:58 PM

is it in the repos ?

wanted to install it anyways

Byte Commander

It's a private repo, let me find the instructions link...

tox.chat/download.html#gnulinux

No, stop @Videonauth !

That repository is the official one, but not well maintained.

There's one with community builds that updates more often...

This is what I use @Videonauth software.opensuse.org/…

BRB

The tox.chat repo I first showed you has no 16.04 packages.

Videonauth

ah ok

well now i have tox ;)

btw the mail i have send you is no fake address

Q: Setup RHEL 7 to PXE boot Ubuntu netboot

I'm looking to learn how to setup a RHEL 7 VM instance to PXE boot Ubuntu (and possibly other distros). The VM will be created by the network team at work.

Videonaut never sleeps :)

Videonauth

well in fact i do sleep

edwinksl

9:58 PM

@Videonauth for mod!

Videonauth

about 12-18 hours per week

edwinksl

let's just say i have slept 24 hours once before...

it was extremely disorientating

Videonauth

well then the only thing i can do is flag for mod attention

---> askubuntu.com/questions/674073/…

edwinksl

i gonna flag too

Videonauth

10:15 PM

well hopefully our flags not get declined now

Byte Commander

@Videonauth rolled back the vandalism edits on both Q and A and left a comment.

Videonauth

yep i saw that

i guess he figured out that he cant delete a question which has a certain age

or his account got compromised who knows

edwinksl

@Videonauth you have a rather high number of flags

Videonauth

? you mean what i have flagged ?

edwinksl

yeah almost 700 helpful flags

in 2 months

that's insane

Videonauth

10:25 PM

:)

well i have this page open always and as long im not meditating or something real life im on the page reading merely everything which goes through

Byte Commander

Can we please get askubuntu.com/q/787936/367990 reopened? I edited it and was just about to answer...

You can close/delete askubuntu.com/q/787935/367990 instead.

edwinksl

@Byte wow your edit made a dramatic difference

the question is actually answerable now

Byte Commander

Well, it seems not to reopen now, so I'm going to bed. Good night and see you tomorrow. o/

Goodnight! :)

Can mods give special permission to users to answer protected questions?

Not sure but why should they ?

I am fairly new to the Linux OS. I'm being asked to learn the OS (Ubuntu & Fedora) for computational science purposes.

aaaaaaaah

wai u no replace \n with <br> u stupid js

Nathan Osman

@ParanoidPanda how come it won't start? Are you using the PPA?

Zacharee1

11:47 PM

Anyone know JS?

RPi Awesomeness

I do-ish

Zacharee1

Would you have any idea why var replaced = data.replace(/\n/g, '<br />'); isn't actually replacing \n with <br /> from data?

RPi Awesomeness

Hrm, it worked fine for me

Do you have a paste of the code?

Zacharee1

well

it's a whole PHP, Ajax, JQuery, JS, HTML thingy

RPi Awesomeness

Well, can you show me the JS right around that statement?

Zacharee1

11:55 PM

yeah hang on

setInterval(function() {
                                            $.get("php/bungeelog.php", function(data, status) {
                                                var d = JSON.str
                                                var replaced = data.replace(/\n/g, '<br />');
                                                document.getElementById("logb").innerHTML = replaced;
                                                var objDiv = document.getElementById("logb");
                                                objDiv.scrollTop = objDiv.scrollHeight;

RPi Awesomeness

Oh, I see your issue

Well, maybe

Zacharee1

go ahead

RPi Awesomeness

var d = JSON.str <-- try changing to var data = JSON.str
var replaced = data.replace(/\n/g, '<br />');

Maybe

Zacharee1

Ignore that

it was an unfinished snippet

unused

RPi Awesomeness

Ah, right

Try putting a console.log(data) statement at the top of the $.get func

Zacharee1

11:57 PM

Supposed to be JSON.stringify(data); :p

No, I get data, but it uses \n between lines, which don't break in HTML

$resp in the PHP does have the output enclosed in quotes, so I wonder if that's anything

RPi Awesomeness

Okay, but can you do that and send me a screenshot/copypaste of it?

It might be that the data you're receiving isn't right
