12:00 AM
guess the distro
 
@Serg um... okay?
 
Ah, crap, i don;t gave color ink in my printer
 
@Serg Print the one with MEPIS
first distro I ever used
 
@Zacharee1 @Serg anything I should know about specifically...? I don't think we just delete posts at users' requests
 
@ThomasW. we wantz teh secretz
So I just learned something rather interesting
these chocolate covered almond squares say they contain nuts
 
12:10 AM
@ThomasW. you know how to read that stuff , there's nothing special.
 
crazy huh?
 
well
i'll delete these this time. but allow me to leave you both with a tidbit of knowledge:
stupidity begets stupidity. don't rely on us to clean up your posts :p
o/ @Quill
 
who else do we rely on , if not our beloved mods !
 
@ThomasW. hey, @Serg was the one who couldn't delete his stuff on time
 
@ThomasW. hi
 
12:12 AM
wait, did @ThomasW. just leave?
 
returns to lurking
 
oh
 
@Zacharee1 well you were the one who couldn't read it until I told you what encoding it was !
 
his avatar disappeared
 
you can both stop now :p
 
12:12 AM
Of course my message timed out by then
 
@Serg yeah, but you had a full minute to delete it :p
 
Hmm... @RPiAwesomeness, how long did it take for your Unix Stickers order to arrive?
 
@ThomasW. but fake arguing iz fun
 
It's been a month since I placed my order.
 
more mods?
 
12:12 AM
@Zacharee1 all teh mods :)
 
gret
 
sigh . . . fine, it's all my fault . . .
 
huehue
hue
 
@Serg @Zacharee1 that said, i did read the content. Probably not the best place for that, here.
 
@ThomasW. shhh :p
 
12:14 AM
@ThomasW. I was just asking in base64 if the new user was trolling us or not. Since me and Zach don't speak any common language except english, it's hard to hide our communication
 
¿no español?
 
@Serg i know as I said i read the content. Point is: there's better communication methods and places for such messages, encoded or not.
so, anyways, anyone hear about how the next openssl is going to break everything :P
 
@Zacharee1 YO no hablo espanol , mucho burrito and taco
 
xD
@ThomasW. again?
 
@ThomasW. again?
 
12:17 AM
QFRob21hc1cu
doesn't work :/
@NathanOsman cp cat
 
@ThomasW. where did you hear this?
 
@NathanOsman Yes, again. Opaque functions bring breakages.
 
great minds think alike ?
 
@NathanOsman NGINX and ZNC bug reports in Debian
 
Ah, good catch.
 
12:19 AM
"All structures in libssl public header files have been removed so that they are 'opaque' to library users. You should use the provided accessor functions instead"
bye bye structs
 
lol
 
hello, accessors.
or backwards compatibility customcode
 
ooh
 
I'm trying to remember what I did for python-ewp, since it used a handful of OpenSSL functions.
 
Speaking of base64 , i made functions for it
read64()
{
  printf "%s" "$(base64 -d <<< "$@")"
}

write64()
{
  base64 <<< "$@"
}
 
12:21 AM
Just holding pointers to the structs should be okay, right?
@Serg That ain't Perl...
:P
 
@NathanOsman bash to be precise :)
well, mksh . . . but it works in bash too
how would python do it ?
 
> Since some structures have become opaque you can't directly access the member any more. You might need to create backward compatible macros or functions if you still want to support older versions of OpenSSL. A suggested way of doing that is:
> #if OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER < 0x10100000L
> #define OBJ_get0_data(o) ((o)->data)
> #define OBJ_length(o) ((o)->length)
> #endif
 
screw it
fine
 
I don't think you can reply to a message with 4-space-indented code.
 
12:23 AM
meh
 
And messages that span multiple lines can't have markdown characters :D
 
:P
 
I know - it needs some work.
 
@NathanOsman Well, in any case, that's the 'suggested' way to do it
and depending on all the things being accessed, that can be........ evil
esp. if you call a ton of structs
 
12:30 AM
@NathanOsman so, I assume some of your stuff does SSL, maybe time to jump ahead and poke things before the evil arises? :)
 
@ThomasW. What do you mean?
Hectane does SSL but it uses Go's own crypto functions. NitroShare uses Qt, which abstracts the SSL / TLS functionality.
 
@NathanOsman walk up to the bits and poke them
 
@Zacharee1 What if they bite?
 
and test-compile against 1.1.0 in Experimental
 
then they're 8 times too big @NathanOsman
 
12:31 AM
Oh, I get it.
 
and fix before it becomes a problem :)
 
you have cancerous code
 
@Zacharee1 Hahaha. LOL. ROFL. BBQ.
 
BBQ xD
 
@Zacharee1 that'd be the code i've been working on recently - it's not scalable it becomes like cancer eating up system resources the more it needs to work
 
12:32 AM
wat
 
I'd love some BBQ right now
 
@ThomasW. You should have seen a WordPress plugin I came across that I had to get working for a client...
 
it was never written to scale :)
 
lol
 
@NathanOsman oh god, WordPress
say no more :P
 
12:32 AM
huehuehue
 
I will say PHP no more.
 
lol
 
@NathanOsman do you want to take ubutnu?
 
HPH
 
or @KazWolfe, you want ubutnu?
 
12:33 AM
@Zacharee1 Is there a ubutun?
 
no, but I could make one
 
I bet there's an ubutun of questions with that.
 
omg shut up
 
@NathanOsman Hi, dad.

@Zacharee1 BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE A "CEPS LOCK" KEY.
 
@NathanOsman GET A STICKER
 
oh cool - if I hold down shift i can type small letters.
 
CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL
 
@NathanOsman you didn't know that? O_O
 
12:37 AM
@NathanOsman you're a dev, you can write program for caps locks. Figure it out !
 
@Zacharee1 </sarcasm>
 
@KazWolfe omg you found the question?
ive only seen images
 
The best answer . . . ROFL
 
And that's why we don't use Yahoo Answers.
 
12:41 AM
lol
 
I don't know why this is relevant, but I feel like somehow it is:
 
one question : why ? ^
 
One answer: no clue.
 
@NathanOsman
wait
 
Lol.
 
12:43 AM
No , the owner would say something like: "Why dress my cat into Yahoo sailor costume ? BECAUSE I CAN !!! "
 
@NathanOsman there, it's square now
 
O... kay.
So that's for the ad sidebar?
Or what exactly is it for?

> "I like this milk, oh yes I do, it comes in gallons, white not blue. You can drink it from a cup, you can sip it, you can sup. Have it with a little ham, have it with a bit of jam. I like this milk, oh yes I do, and if you try it, you will too."
 
1:20 AM
lol
 
> "I am sorry to see that no one has answered your questions. After searching extensive data bases and records I must conclude there is no such person as Sam I am. Perhaps you should redirect your question to Will I Am as I suspect that Sam I am died with Dr. Seuss. If you did not know that Dr. Seuss was dead please do not read the previous sentence."
 
i am ded . . .XD
 
excelleent.
 
lol
 
1:24 AM
rifles through @Serg's pockets for loose change
 
@JourneymanGeek you need a derp Ubuntu logo. Does ubutnu work for you?
 
> "Tuscan Whole Milk" can be re-arranged to say "I'll know mustache". Coincidence? I think not."
 
@KazWolfe do you want to be the filling in a steel sammich? THIS IS HOW YOU BECOME A FILLING IN A STEEL SAMMICH!
 
1:25 AM
@JourneymanGeek those are chinese coins, i hope you can make use of them in Singapore

1:26 AM
I have an image to maintain
 
@JourneymanGeek har har
But it's so perfect ^^ see?
 
@KazWolfe LOL:
> "You wouldn't believe how much more interesting my commute is now that I have something to do other than just stare out the window! I'm using it right now to post this review and I never"
 
ha!
 
> "My copilot and I both used these during our "daily grind" transcontinental flights from San Diego to Minneapolis. We had to modify them a bit to fit snug against the instrument panels (when we bought them we didn't realize the planes we fly don't have steering wheels!), but in the end it did the job. With our laptops firmly in place we were able to focus our attention on what really mattered, participating in raids with our WoW clan."
> "During our last flight we were so immersed in trying to take down Eranikus that we overshot Minneapolis by a full hour and a half before some annoying flight attendant interrupted us, babbling something about "FAA and F16 fighters.""
 
xD
 
$8k!!??
fixed version of ubutnu
makin' some good rep over at SU
 
@NathanOsman the first review?
 
Do you guys know how to install linux on a dead badger ?
 
yes
 
download not_a_virus_or_rootkit_downloader.exe
@KazWolfe do the Zavatar
 
@Zacharee1 wat
so...
i tried installing Ubuntu on a squirrel, and it's giving me a weird error message
Remove nut from bay 0. Where is bay 0?
 
It's 7:47 PM . . . do I coffee or do i not coffee ?
 
coffee.
always coffee
 
indeed, always coffee
that's not even a real question
flagged
 
1:50 AM
Yeah, you're right . What am I even doing asking this ? What is life without coffee ?
 
2:00 AM
@Serg always coffee
or i'mma steal it and chug the coffee instead
 
@ThomasW. you can steak it , but i'll noodle it out
 
2:38 AM
@Serg you've gone so far into your puns, you've begun speaking a different language
@KazWolfe Zachary's avatar
unubtu
 
@Zacharee1 Thomas originally misspelled steal as steak
 
:)
 
but yes, i love me sum puns
 
sigh
@Serg help me pressure @KazWolfe into changing his avatar
 
@KazWolfe P = F / A
@Zacharee1 see ? I gave him pressure
 
2:40 AM
@Serg there aren't enough ellipses in the world for you
I just had pho for dinner \^~^/
 
@Zacharee1 nice . . . which meats / veggies ?
 
Chicken and those crunchy sprout thingies
noodles obv
and it was either chicken or pork or beef broth
no idea :p
 
Mmmm, nice. I usually go with beef , meatballs , or the combo of things
 
I combined the transparent noodles with opaque ones :p
my rep on SU was 343. I refreshed and it was 318
no indication of what happened
 
I usually go with the stadard noodles they give. I don't like giving weird requests to waiters, since i know how much i hated those when i worked at a pho place
 
2:47 AM
heh
It was just what they gave us
We got it to go
 
I should go for some pho some time . . . . Pity is that I can't go and have those thick noodles i had in China . . . ./smh
 
spoiled
 
3:03 AM
Maybe. Or maybe I've aquired better taste
 
I'm not changing my avatar, sorry. I like my current one.
 
3:16 AM
@Serg that's something a spoiled person would say
@KazWolfe how dare you
 
Not quite sure if I should report this or not: Eye of Gnome doesn't change wallpaper , if I am using gradient wallpaper. In other words it does change picture-uri key , but not the 'picture-options' key in the relevant schema
 
I need a word that means the opposite of "archive" (as a verb).
 
@NathanOsman uncompress ?
 
> The word archive means to file away. Other ways it can be defined are to collect or pull in. Archive has no direct antonyms. Antonyms only work when you are comparing two words and there is no single word that is the opposite of archive. The closest opposite meanings that are short are to mess up, fail to collect or push away. None of these count as antonyms.
@NathanOsman what's the context?
You could maybe try restore
 
@Zacharee1 I've created a tool called "django-archive" that creates a single compressed tarball from a database and uploaded files. The command to create one is "archive" and I need to name the command that does the opposite (brings the contents back into the database, etc.).
 
3:30 AM
restore
 
that ^
 
3:54 AM
Okay.
 
hai
 
@NathanOsman unarchive, restore, extract...
 
Something isn't alright with my system. Something keeps eating my swap AND my CPU
 
4:10 AM
why is everyone in ubuntu logos
 
Because yolo that's why
 
The dog in JourneymanGeek gravatar looks happy.
I think!
 
is it like ubuntu day or mark shuttleworth's birthday
 
@Edity Born: September 18, 1973 (age 42).
 
4:56 AM
It's my birthday tomorrow if that counts...
 
wow
happy bday
can I remain a pencil
 
Yes, you can remain a pencil.
And thank-you.
 
yay

Q: Is it ok to comment and see if it works before answer?

CollDue96Is it ok to comment an answer to the OP because you can't test it, and then you answer if it works? Or should you just answer?
