Q: Hmmm. Answer then support?

ubashuI have no idea what to do about this answer I came across while reviewing. So I bought a System76 laptop, and it doesn't let me install anything. They gave an answer and then a phone number. Right or wrong?

 
@NathanOsman so Fabric has picked up on two NPEs that Play Console hasn't reported yet
 
wait, I thought Verizon sold its 700MHz rights to T-mobile?
 
wat
 
hm, guess not.
 
@Seth I heard there was a merger coming. Total merger.
 
12:31 AM
Oh wait, that was T-mobile buying TV station licenses iirc.
@RobotHumans really? T-mobile and Verizon's networks aren't even compatible..
 
And it was T-mobile and sprint, not verizon
 
Ah
 
@Seth yeah they bought the 600Mhz spectrum
 
same problem though :P
 
@RobotHumans I wonder if this will actually happen...
cause it's basically Google Fi
 
12:32 AM
The stock market guys seem to think it will come off. I'm not so sure.
 
come off?
 
be successful/happen
 
ah
@NathanOsman you should add the Fabric plugin to your AS
 
12:53 AM
@NathanOsman also, would we be able to monitor all chat rooms for pings and notify?
because it'd be interesting to be able to add the relevant chat if it doesn't exist
 
1:22 AM
I honestly regret not taking a gallon of coffee with me today
 
@SergiyKolodyazhnyy you need a door alarm ;)
 
@Seth define door alarm plz
 
@SergiyKolodyazhnyy so you can sleep but when someone enters the lab it wakes you up ;)
 
I hope it's not someone smacking me in the face with a door
@Seth I probably could make one with my RPi but placing one at work would probably be frowned upon by my managers
 
@SergiyKolodyazhnyy better: Get a small microcontroller and use that. Have it ping your phone when the door opens. You can attach it with double sided tape and have it ping your phone. That way it bothers no one.
But yeah, I guess it's possible it would upset your managers :/
 
1:32 AM
Actually, this sounds like a nice project. I'm going to be learning statistical/computational languages this summer, so I probably could make a door sensor and log how many times some one walks through my door or something like that
 
Hue
 
I'm just slightly at loss for ideas. There's plenty of resources for learning things, but I wanted to find some kind of project so that I can make something practical with the languages I'm learning
 
1:53 AM
@SergiyKolodyazhnyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
@TheXed ?????????????
 
Long time no see!
 
ikr ? I've been slightly MIA. How's it going ?
 
@SergiyKolodyazhnyy actually I have been very MIA as well...
 
@TheXed Basically what happened is that in like mid-March, mid-April I realized my schoolwork is going to get tough, so I was kinda staying more and more away. Plus after the school was over, I got into trouble on the relationships front, so that was another thing keeping me away.
I'm working again now, so I should probably be here Tuesdays and Thursdays all day
 
2:04 AM
@SergiyKolodyazhnyy it's all good...basically same thing...but school work in a different way...
And I got some new toys that have been keeping me busy in my free time as well...
 
@TheXed oh ? More raspberry stuff I'm guessing ?
 
No....new camera...new filters for said camera....
and the weather has finally turned nice so I can use the camera and not freeze my b@lls off....
 
The weather in Denver has been hectic. Snow in the middle of may,hail during my finals week,and hail yesterday. My girlfriend asks me like "So when Denver will finally have Summer" and I'm like , I've no idea, probably never
 
Well if Denver is anything like here...we only have two seasons "hot, or cold"
and neither are pleasant...
 
2:22 AM
@ThomasWard so, mind answering me this one ?
Note: CISCO IPSec can be achieved via StrongSwan and a lot of configuration, but it's tricky. PPTP is not secure anymore. ANd L2TP over IPSec requires both L2TP and IPSec configuration. Pick at your leisure, although my answer explains PPTP — Thomas Ward ♦ Jun 3 '15 at 16:38
PPTP isn't secure, so what's the alternative then ? Is ssh tunneling a good alternative ?
 
@SergiyKolodyazhnyy Whatever you do, do not use PPTP. IIRC, it send the auth in clear text
 
@AndroidDev OK . . . So . . . why there's no giant red flag warning on that post ?
Also . . . it's a bit spoopy
 
2:55 AM
[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Manually reported answer: My ubuntu doesn't proper update by teGTGTHGHG on askubuntu.com
 
"Perl – The only language that looks the same before and after RSA encryption." - Keith Bostic
Hahahaha
 
4:01 AM
@Seth That's pretty similar to George's joke:
https://t.co/1Y6RO06O72
 
@NathanOsman Hah! I'd forgotten about that one.
Or missed it.

@TheWanderer just pulled all the changes and wow. You done been busy.
Can we put the Stack Exchange logo and stuff back in yet?

8:16 AM
this is from the other day? What's going on?
 
8:40 AM
TIL you can't post answers on AU when drunk. :-D
 
You will be charged and booked under AUI.
 
"Answer Under Influence" – I like it.
Yesterday I went past one of the central train stations and tourist areas in Berlin and there was a black guy holding up a large sign that said "Nazi = Nationalism + Zionism". Now I'm confused.
 
Hello :)
 
haha that does take a bit of unravelling
 
@cl-netbox: Hi there!
 
8:44 AM
@DavidFoerster Good morning David ! :)
@terdon Hey cool terdon - well done and fully deserved ! :) Congratulations ! :)
 
He's either implying that Zionists were complicit in the (attempted) extermination of Jews during the Holocaust or he's implying that they were complicit in a conspiracy to make people believe there was a Holocaust when there wasn't.
Both alternatives are similarly disturbing.
 
@DavidFoerster sadface
 
Fair enough. That makes sense.
 
nm, I don't think it's worth it.
@DavidFoerster I am sorry.
 
My other confusion about this: isn't Zionism a nationalistic ideology already? That would mean "Nationalism + Zionism = Zionism".
 
8:55 AM
yes
 
@DavidFoerster Hitler was a zionist :=)
 
@Rinzwind That would explain so much. /s
 
That was before the holocaust though
Germany before 1941 made agreements for Jews to return to Israel and paid for it.
"The Transfer Agreement" it was called. The British are the ones that divided Palestine into two states.
 
I don't think that makes Hitler a Zionist. Zionist aims merely aligned with his own aims in this specific instance.
 
@DavidFoerster yeah welll... to be a zionist you need to be a jew :+
 
9:03 AM
My flatmate used to be a (modern) Zionist.
 
basically what makes you a zionist: being a jew and firmly believe the creation of a jewish homeland. So it is "nationilism" but without actually having said country to be nationalistic of.
(and for a zionist that sentense ends with "YET")
 
@Rinzwind That was the case for most nationalists in the beginning when the idea of "nations" just started to take hold.
Which is the original intended meaning of "Deutschland, Deutschland über alles".
 
So true :)
And now Uber is a taxi service
 
At some point people just started to mean something different when they sang it. In that sense I'm glad it's not part of Germany's national anthem any longer.
 
hi
 
9:08 AM
Hi Anwar, nice to see you!
 
Hi Anwar!
 
The only good national anthem is the dutch. It is the oldest and tells about the relationships with other countries. Not about being the best there is. Or about eradicating others
o/
 
@Zanna In this context right now I can't help but imagine that to be a Bellamy salute.
 
phew still time to edit
 
@Rinzwind Germany's national anthem is about building a nation that provides a place where all Germans can live together happily and in peace (as opposed to a bunch of culturally German fiefdoms fighting each other).
France's national anthem is about beating the asses of the armies of their invading monarchist neighbours and drown its soil in their blood.
 
9:13 AM
@DavidFoerster the current one. Not the original one :)
The spanish one has no words (they removed them cuz they where too nationalistic)
 
@Rinzwind The current one is the previous one minus one stanza.
 
oh ok
 
ours is crap.
 
@Zanna @DavidFoerster :)
 
Good morning @Anwar @Rinzwind @Zanna ! :)
 
9:15 AM
nice to see you all!
Our anthem is all about the country (though the country wasn't in existence when it was written) and its environment. Originally it was written taking both part of the Bengal as 1.
 
@Anwar The lyrics of Germany's national anthem were written when the idea of "nations" was still quite young and what is now Germany was a collection of rivalling fiefdoms.
So it makes sense for both of them for similar reasons but different historical contexts.
In fact, it makes sense that national anthems will frequently turn out to be about nations that don't exist yet because they usually adopt a suitable and popular anthem once they become nations.
 
boxy! :)
 
makes sense!
@cl-netbox good morning :)
 
Should this answer survive?
 
9:27 AM
@Anwar oh that's very interesting. I must read about it
 
@TheWanderer I see the meme economy flourishes.
 
@cl-netbox morning :) just walking to work now so not exactly here
 
@Zanna you are typing while walking ? I'm having problems to not make typos while sitting in front of the keyboard ... :D
 
Lol
 
@Zanna :D
 
9:35 AM
Is it possible to get old package files after they are superseded by a new version?
@DavidFoerster have you just flagged that Drunk comment?
 
@Anwar yes : sudo apt install <package-name>=<version-number> :)
 
Not that one. When one version is removed from repo
Oh. It was an audit then!
 
@Anwar Then you can download the .deb file and install it manually with dpkg or gedebi :)
 
From where?
 
@Anwar from a ftp server which hosts old versions :)
 
9:42 AM
Oh. Ok, give me the link of version 50 of google chrome :)
 
@DavidFoerster Or he's implying that nationalists and zionists are both equally abhorrent and comparable to Nazis.
 
@terdon That's possible but then he's using odd notation.
 
@DavidFoerster You're talking about some guy holding up a sign in a train station. The notation is the least odd thing about it :)
 
Hi terdon - good morning to you ! :)
 
o/
 
9:45 AM
@terdon Sure, but there are more effective ways to communicate that meaning that would be readily available and suitable to the chosen environment, so I find your interpretation plausible but less likely.
 
Shrugs, that seems like the obvious meaning to me. Just putting two horrible things together to make a third horrible thing.
 
Yes, however afaik most people would write "Bad thing 1 + Bad thing 2 = Super bad thing" and not the other way around.
 
@Anwar here it is -> slimjet.com/chrome/… ! :)
 
Usually "C = A + B" (when used outside of a mathematical context) is used to mean "C is a combination/composition of A and B".
…whereas "A + B = C" means "If you join A and B you get C."
They're logically equivalent but carry different intent.
 
@cl-netbox Oh. I didn't actually want you to search for that. Just wanted to know if they were preserved somewhere. But thanks. I may need it :)
 
9:51 AM
@Anwar You're welcome - here are more old versions -> slimjet.com/chrome/google-chrome-old-version.php ! :)
 
@DavidFoerster Yes, but why are you expecting logic from something like this?
 
@DavidFoerster went on Imgur this morning and every post was about this.
 
@TheWanderer That's exactly what I meant.
@terdon No but I can still use logic to think about possible meanings and how I likely I find it that somebody would use a certain notation to express a particular (hypothesised) meaning.

Q: How to find similatrites between two files?

PraveenKumarHi i am new for linux i have two files in that one have sequence_id (file_1) and another has sequence_id with sequence (file_1). I have to do if the if the sequence_id (file_1) present in file_1 to be stored in new file. Example: File_1 lcl|NW_002477239.1_gene_517 lcl|NW_002477243.1_gene_364 ...

 
11:17 AM
@SergiyKolodyazhnyy OpenVPN (I think there's an openvpn in a box setup script), or IPSec.
Theres also a warning now.
 
    if (mEmail.getText().toString().isEmpty()) {
                 setHint(mEmail, R.string.activity_authenticator_email_required);
             } else if (mPassword.getText().toString().isEmpty()) {
                 setHint(mPassword, R.string.activity_authenticator_password_required);
              } else {
                  startAuth();
              }
@NathanOsman what if neither field has content? ^
 
11:34 AM
@NathanOsman @KazWolfe Haaalp. Google isn't doing it for me :( --^
 
11:46 AM
@AndroidDev Looks like the native bindings of the Python module are incompatible with a native library installed on your system.
Considering the symbol name I'd say the offending library is part of the Python implementation itself.
What's the Python version on the system, from where did you get the wiringpi module and does it have any release infos?

Q: Microsoft ad blocks all links other than on the ad

TakkatToday I have a weird issue with this Microsoft ad: As soon as this ad was loaded (which takes its time) I can not click on any other links on this tab. Before the ad was loaded everything is as expected. Links on other tabs are not affected. Paradoxically the issue occured on I.E. 11 on Windo...

 
1:06 PM
Brb. I'm going to top a pizza for lunch.
Hooray for pre-made pizza dough.
 
1:24 PM
That aint food :=)
 
@Rinzwind true ! pre-made pizzas are chemical products ! :D
 
I shall be dining here later today:
 
@Rinzwind looks nice :)
 
@cl-netbox If you're worrying about "chemicals" in your food I have bad news for you… ;-P
 
my water is contaminated with chemicals
 
1:30 PM
I have been going there almost every at least once for the past 3 years @cl-netbox
My record is 8 days in a row
 
Artichoke hearts, green bell peppers, red onions, Gorgonzola, Edam, and Tilsit cheese. =]
@Rinzwind The Netherlands appear to have crazy good sushi for relatively little money. I had some almost every time I went there and it was always awesome.
 
@Rinzwind that does look good
 
@DavidFoerster are those "real" products on the pre-made pizza you mentioned ?
 
@NathanOsman You broke something!
sending Firebase notifications crashes the app now
 
@cl-netbox Only the dough is pre-made. I prepared the sauce and toppings myself.
Though for the toppings "prepare" just means "cut into suitable pieces".
 
1:44 PM
@DavidFoerster ah okay - then I misunderstood it ... that of course is not chemical food ! :)
 
Yeah. It's as "chemical" as a self-assembled sandwich made of bought bread.
 
@DavidFoerster anyway, what you described can be very tasty I think. :)
 
wait no @NathanOsman it's Fabric. It's outdated...
 
@DavidFoerster yes, we are a fishing country too.
 
@Rinzwind …and a huge hub for overseas imports.
 
1:55 PM
@Rinzwind and the leading nation in the flowers and tomatoes industry ... :)
 
Big export is "dance" and "trance"
@cl-netbox More seeds than actual flowers :)
and powdermilk to china :X
 
Since about a week Berlin's markets are swamped with cheap Dutch tomatoes.
 
2:11 PM
That's impossible. Our tomatoes aint cheap.
 
They're far cheaper than average (across the year) and the labels say "Netherlands" for country of origin.
They're pretty good for this time of the year.
 
Funny :-) The tomatoes I last bought came from Spain :P
@DavidFoerster of course :=) anything dutch is good this time of year.
 
@Rinzwind only at this time ? :D
 
@cl-netbox that sentence is true whenever it is typed :=)
 
hahaha
 
2:17 PM
Yep, next up are strawberries.
 
I dont like strawberries :P
 
Dutch fruits and vegetables always ripen a little earlier than their German counterparts.
 
@DavidFoerster maybe that's because of "some interaction" from the famous Dutch Chemical Industry @Rinzwind ? :D :D :D
 
@cl-netbox: I think they just mastered hydroponics.^^
 
@ParanoidPanda for you ->

Q: How can I map my Bamboo tablet to the entire screen after increasing screen resolution?

user129518The physical drawing area on my Wacom Bamboo MTE-450 pen tablet corresponds perfectly with the edges of the screen when the resolution is 1024x768. However, when I increase it to 1152x864, the tablet is still only mapped to the 1024x768 pixels in the upper left portion of the screen, so the pen r...

Happy nibbling :=)
 
2:23 PM
@Rinzwind you are sooo cute - panda will love it ! :D
 
Wtf. I ate the whole baking tray of pizza.
Time for ice cream.
 
Hungry :(
0:30 till end of day and start of Holiday
and sushi :+)
 
@DavidFoerster are we brothers ? I always do the same - always ! :D
@Rinzwind nice :)
@Rinzwind is sushi the only kind food you eat ? :D
 
@DavidFoerster I am beginning to understand why you haven't updated your profile pic in three years. :P
 
What has 4 letters, sometimes 9 letters, but never has 5 letters.
@cl-netbox nope.
terdy! :-)
 
2:29 PM
@Rinzwind rinz ? :D
 
@terdon That picture was already 5 years old when I added it.
 
@cl-netbox think about it ;-) and then try to find the answer
 
@DavidFoerster Ha! So now that you're old and fat you hide behind your youthful beauty, eh?
:P
 
hint: it was not a question >:-)
@terdon no he hides behind a pizzatray
 
heh
@Rinzwind Argh.. ..
 
2:31 PM
@Rinzwind or a huge pot of ice cream ! :D
 
another one :D
 
The time stamp on the camera says 2013 but it's actually from 2015
 
The difference between "Girlfriend" and "Girl Friend" is that little space in between we call the "Friend Zone".
 
In this case the space is the "friends with benefits zone".
 
2:33 PM
I didn't think it was an image of you.
 
@jokerdino from whom is it then ? :)
 
I don't know. Too scared to expose my ignorance about a celebrity.
 
… now we're working together on something we dialled it back to friends and colleagues.
This is our work in the background btw.
 
:)
 
2:40 PM
@TheWanderer the link is to an image?
 
oops
 
@DavidFoerster looks nice ... but what is it ? :)
 
@cl-netbox kaleidok.co
The presentation video on the landing page was recorded on the same night.
 
@DavidFoerster cool ! hats off ! :)
 
2:44 PM
That reminds me… I should pester her once more to decide on a license for the software that we created.
 
@DavidFoerster do a RGATP licence
 
It's either GPLv3 or AGPL – not much of a difference but I can't just license something without explicit consent of all co-authors.
 
I like the Rinzwind Gets All The Profit license more than GPLv3 or AGPL
 
in Android on Stack Overflow Chat, 1 min ago, by CptEric
you uncultured covfefe
 
cowfefe
 
2:46 PM
@Rinzwind Unfortunately that license would violate the licenses of some of our dependencies. ;-)
 
@Rinzwind HAHAHA ... our great rinzy ... :D :D :D
 
@terdon Now that I think about it I'm actually in a better shape than 8 years ago.
 
Hi!
I came here just to ask for with a classic: why my suggestion was rejected?
 
link please?
 
@DavidFoerster sometimes it's strange : the more you eat, the slimmer you get ! :D
 
@cl-netbox I definitely eat less than 8 years ago (on average). Today was not a common occurrence.
 
@PabloBianchi it was rejected for the reasons described. You basically made a new answer
 
I usually edit wikipedia, but here at askubuntu is a little bit frustrating when I spent time, don't change author intentions, just add a screenshot or reference and the edit is rejected
 
that's not a reference; you've more than doubled the length of the answer
 
I don't agree with the rejection.
It doesn't change the meaning or add a new answer. It explains how to do something based on the existing answer.
I would have accepted it.
 
2:52 PM
@TheWanderer no I'm not. I admit looks a big edit, but it was just screenshots, description of the type of test and how to read the results. Its a pity to create a new answer just for those few things.
 
I agree ^ good edit
 
lemme see
 
I think @PabloBianchi added useful information ! :)
 
@PabloBianchi: If you submit the edit again and send me a link to the answer in question here I'll accept it.
 
hmm
 
2:54 PM
I have the approve this rejected edit button.
No need to do it again.
 
Ah, cool. I didn't know there's such a thing.
 
I like @DavidFoerster's reasoning on the edit.
 
@jokerdino nice button you got there
 
@PabloBianchi Approved
 
Thank you very much to all of you!
 
2:58 PM
@DavidFoerster I think it was a new addition.
@PabloBianchi thank you
