@Lucio Yes! I don't wear mine that often either. Climate around here is temperate enough that it's only used a little in the late fall and throughout the winter.
But I usually skip it if I know I won't be outside that much (i.e. just going to another warm place)
@RPiAwesomeness First step understand the question. Second, get my mind to find out a solution. Third step, translate my solution back to english. Google was in the middle of all these procedures.
Then, being the n00b at OSes I was, I started up the Live CD I had, started Gparted ... and decidedly deleted the Ubuntu partition. Then, obviously, I was stuck with the GRUB Rescue prompt.
Hooo boyo. Adding attachment support via the email module is not something that should be done at 9:12 at night...
I think I may just wait this one out until tomorrow. I fixed a major bug today, lets not screw everything over because I'm pushing for that little bit extra...
I now want GitHub gear. >.< Just another thing to spend money on that I can't spend money on :P
Around here the manwork required to file the tax stuff with the IRS relating to given or sold products makes most companies (or at least the ones I know) just grind it all up and call it a loss.
We can merge tags, but it's a lot messier than synonymization and cannot be undone without a developer's help, which makes you rather unpopular with the SE staff ;)
@muru polkit currently doesn't exist (or at least it has 0 questions). I'm not sure I can synonymize them until it has one. Were you going to ask a question or should I just retag one?
And which way do you think the synonymization should go?
@Seth polkit is the official name, but no currently packaged stable version of it in Ubuntu or Debian use that name. askubuntu.com/q/614534/158442 prompted the question. I use Polkit in my answer, but had to tag the question `policykit
I can see where it might be considered kind of funny, but I never swear and a) would rather not have my name tied to a "swear word" in the stars and b) would probably just be asked to unstar it tomorrow anyway.
@Mateo I'm rewriting something Nathan started a while ago but didn't ever get finished. I'll leave you to guess what for now.. ;)
(I don't really want to talk too much about it because I'm doing it in my fluctuating free time with no real experience or timeline so it may never come to anything in the end, although I hope not)
@Mateo ding ding. I'm trying to do it in python this time, since I think that's something more people can/will help out with. I know I would have helped with the original project more if it had been python instead of C++.
Nothing against C++ I just didn't (and still don't) know it that well.
@RPiAwesomeness Personal preference really. The python bindings are better documented on the gtk side, but if you're using C++ Qt has pretty nice docs.
well, I always used the propitiatory dirvers... so not as big of a problem. but kind of big since that means out of box might be low-graphics mode type of bad
Two interesting programs, wget and aria2. Although I would recommend aria2. Aria2 can download a file from multiple sources/protocols and tries to utilize your maximum download bandwidth. Really speeds up your download experience.

I asked this yesterday already but got an answer only from @terdon, is someone aware of any native bash trick to expand the content of a variable containing a path without escaping backslashes? i.e. without using read, globs or parsing the variable with with something else, something like a clever way to nest single / double quotes
I know about Make web project writable by apache and other user and I have the same problem, but the solution there is not working for me. I am new to Linux and it is difficult to understand why adduser netbeans is used in the solution. It results in adduser: The group 'netbeans' already exists. ...
@Rinzwind No but I think he gave me the most straightforward solution, which I appreciated, but it's a little disappointing and looks a little strange that bash can't do that natively, even considering not-so-straightforward hacks
In a terminal window, I typed:
mv filename ..\.. [Note the wrong slash.]
Now I can't find it. Gone. I ran some searches and looked through recoverable deleted files. Nothing. Poof. Serves me right for using a Windows machine right before.
Anyone know where it might have gone?
@kos Hang on, I just gave you a way to iterate over files. What do you mean by "expand the content of a variable containing a path"? To do what with it? Parse it or treat it as a path? Could you give an example?
@terdon Referring to the answer I gave yesterday below wich you pointed out that path containing backslashes woud have broke the script, i parsed the output of find in a while loop redirecting it as a string, and I found no way to expand the variable containing such string without escaping the backslashes, so it refers to both cases, the problem is that such variable expanded within double-quotes would automatically escape both spaces and backslashes.
@terdon No it seems not, let me rephrase it a little better: a filename outputted by find and stored in a variable preserves that backslashes contained in the filename, which is actually what i want, but expanding the variable containing such filename within double quotes escapes both spaces (which I'm fine with) and backslashes (which I'm not fine with: file not found while processing the path in the script)
@terdon Sure, thanks for your help. Just running find . | while read line; do mv "${line}" "${line}1"; done in a directory with only one file named "file\ with\ spaces\ and\ backslashes" breaks it
What are some of the common chat items?
I want to understand what people who are more familiar with other chat clients are trying to say to me.

If possible show an example.
Thank you.
