Hi all.
Would you delete an answer if someone changed their question to make your answer look stupid?
 
hey
 
3:12 AM
I don't mean they intentionally made it look stupid.
 
@WinEunuuchs2Unix very interesting question! no, I'd edit original answer

Q: Allow to run a python script but not allow to read its content

JohshiI want to demonstrate a client how my python script works on my server to which I'll give him access. Also, I don't want him to be able to see the code of the python script, only run it. Is it possible to do somehow by a means of Linux? Maybe by creating an additional login?

 
I mean original question
 
I can't edit their question.
 
if its not your own and you dont have over 10000 rep it will need to be approved by mod
but a mod will be able to see previous edits
otherwise yes, edit/delete your answer probably
 
3:14 AM
That's my inkling too. Not edit, but delete.
 
@WinEunuuchs2Unix kinda depends on the situation.
 
They posted a suspend question without screen shot. I posted an answer with screen shot. They changed their question with screen shot like mine and they don't even have options like my power settings.
Weird thing is they had 78 hours battery life remaining and the best my laptop can do is like 3 to 4 hours.
 
eh, the indicator isn't always accurate.
mine often starts out saying I have 20 hours for the first few minutes.
 
maybe they had an 8088 with a tractor trailer truck battery
sorry meant to be a joke, 8088 was first IBM PC cpu.
 
:)
 
3:19 AM
sup?
 
anyway when they changed the question to post a screenshot of power settings it made my answer with screenshot of power settings look stupid as if I didn't read their question properly.
Well it's 9:22 and 3:54 comes early. so night all. thanks for listening.
 
Night?
 
@WinEunuuchs2Unix well there's not much you can do in that situation. If you can, edit your answer to be more correct. Otherwise just delete it.
 
What is your favorite hatchback?
 
3:48 AM
@TheXed I like all hatchbacks
 
someone threw a rock at my windshield
 
Wut.
 
i come back to parking lot, get into the car , and in front if my face basically cracked windshield with indent
 
@Serg Is the crack large or is it just a chip?
 
3:59 AM
@serg that sucks :(
 
@NathanOsman large. Driver's side is efded up
that's another 350$ . . . .if not more.
 
Oooh. That's not good. If it was just a chip, those can be repaired pretty easily.
 
@NathanOsman it was a rock a size of baseball and half. ain't no small chip :/
 
Is there a golf course or baseball field nearby?
 
@NathanOsman it was a rock. i found it on my hood.
 
4:02 AM
Ah, never mind then.
That sounds intentional.
Does your insurance cover vandalism?
 
No idea. I'll have to call and check.
 
Hopefully they do and the deductible is low.
 
most importantly, i didn't cross anyone
 
could be a random person who was too high
 
#colorado
 
4:04 AM
@Serg Jacob, maybe? :D
 
@NathanOsman he flew all the way from Europe to do that ? Improbable
 
I'm kidding, of course. I don't think he's that type of person :)
 
i know, I'm kidding too.
 
Yeah, I'm with @edwinksl - probably just some drunk.
 
welp, Mom will be super happy about this :/
 
4:06 AM
i mean, s*** happens, i am sure she will understand
 
Well, it's not your fault.
 
I'll need to charge up my phone and show you the pic later
 
cof-cof Hi, and sorry to interrupt, hehheh, but does anyone here know how I might make my icon clearer on my profile page?? Everyone's icon looks clear but mine!
 
@Serg ok, i am curious how much damage a rock can do
 
@Numi What resolution did you upload?
 
4:09 AM
@edwinksl you keep swearing man alive!!!
 
(By the way, don't ever feel bad for interrupting - that's what we're here for.)
3
 
Um, I think 34x32? or something...
 
Thanks! I feel welcome:)
 
@Numi You'll need to upload a higher resolution image or it will appear blurry at larger sizes.
 
4:10 AM
lol
 
heehee!
@Nathen Ok! I'll try that! What size do you recommend?
 
@Numi 328x328 is the largest size used on the network. So if you can get one at least that large, that would work the best
Failing that, 164x164 would appear crisp to everyone but Retina/HiDPI users.
Don't be afraid to upload a larger image, though - it will be scaled down automatically.
 
Ah, I see. Thank you so much!
 
No problem.
 
You're so nice:)
 
4:16 AM
We like to think of this room as one of the more friendly ones :)
 
I'll keep that in mind for future reference.

Q: How to make Drives visible to OS if they are connected to raid but raid is not configured

Ashish GahlautSo I have 4 drives that are "Unconfigured Good". They are not in any virtual drive. I want to present them without change them to "JBOD". How to make my drives visiable to OS keeping them as seprate drives (not putting them into any kind of RAID)?

 
4:34 AM
Network is down.
 
yup
same here
 
interesting read quora.com/…
 
@edwinksl Yeah, he raises some good points.
 
5:03 AM
@NathanOsman it's not for me
Happy first day of spring! And the Random Acts Of Kindness day!
 
Spring?
Which hemisphere are you in?
 
 
he is in australia i think
or new zealand?
 
5:04 AM
@Serg O_o
 
@edwinksl @NathanOsman
 
That's nasty.
 
@Serg that cigarette xD
 
you cant see long lines but they're there
 
@ƎpᴉʇʎXD I thought Spring doesn't start there until Sept. 21?
 
5:05 AM
and it's like caved into the salon of the car
 
nvm then
 
wow is it that easy to crack a windscreen
 
so yeah . . . .my windshield is fuuuuuuuunked
 
I am maintanince mode proof!
moving on
does someone know the python application for debian ?
 
Application for what?
 
5:07 AM
@NathanOsman erm, coding stuff
 
You want an application for coding Python on Debian?
 
yes.
 
Komodo Edit is your best bet.
Unless you have $70, in that case I'd get Sublime.
 
haaay haaaw'r y'awlll doin?
 
i'l try then :)
@JamesTobin howdy
 
5:09 AM
how are things going man?
 
hmm coding stuff>
 
Time to kill UEFI!
 
amen!
 
5:10 AM
DIE UEFI!
 
KILL KILL WITH COLD BLUE STEEL
lol
 
@ƎpᴉʇʎXD what Python stuff are you even talking about ? what do you wanna do ?
 
@Serg time to start a new age... of python coding..
(basically, i am beginning to learn python)
screw you .deb packages, gonna straight to python on windows
 
UEFI, due to your constant infringment on the rights of computer users by blocking their access to modify parts of their computers that belong to them, and your biased support of Microsoft products making retro operating systems as well as operating systems not written to your code unable to function, you are sentenced to a lifetime in the land of history. You are hearwith banned from the commonwealth of new computers, and no longer have the right to participate in their activities...
and to enjoy their rights. Any effort to circumvent this ban will result in a death sentence
 
@ƎpᴉʇʎXD good ! I'm sure you'll love Python. it's a beautiful language.
 
5:15 AM
@JamesTobin but.. uefi.. hackintosh ....
 
I like qbasic and qb64
however I am having dificulty...
@ƎpᴉʇʎXD say quackintosch
smackintosch
 
@Serg i'm hoping so
 
frackintosch
blackintosch
 
uefiintosh
 
eew
Ugly Evil f* Innovation
 
5:18 AM
anyways, I already know print
mmm, steak and mushroom pie and cola
here lies uefi, killed by james tobin, you will be missed. wait, i can revive it... TIME FOR HACKINTOSH
 
Unacceptable Erasing of Feature Implementation
Here lies UEFI, murdered by James Paul Alexander Tobin, Jr. on July the thirty-first, 2016. You will never be missed.
 
It's... uh... August 31 :)

Back to the future confirmed?

Q: http paranoia/concern

Thomas ByerlyI am currently creating a personal "local" website. I do not plan on port fowarding to make it accessible to those outside my network. Will that be good enough for security, what about people on the same local network as I am, how can I block any other pcs from accessing my website, or password p...

 
where do I report repository errors?
 
belongs on security se
 
@JamesTobin lauchpad
 
what about EFI, is it murdered or alive
 
5:26 AM
We are aware of issues that have briefly affected Stack Overflow and Stack Exchange QA sites, we are investigating.
 
@NathanOsman Jinx!
 
Lol.
If you think that's funny, wait a few more seconds until the feed bot posts it too.
 
come on feed bot
COME ONNNN
you know the drill, 5 min to identify, 3 min to code, and 5 min to apply changes
don't panic
 
I forgot the command to find out what specific release of ubuntu I have. what was it?
I think it was a uname command. what was the parameter?
@ƎpᴉʇʎXD
 
hmm?
lsb_release -a
 
5:34 AM
thank you! that worked
that's my report
spammahs
 
@Serg just installed pycharm. what do i do now?
 
We are aware of issues that have briefly affected Stack Overflow and Stack Exchange QA sites, we are investigating.
 
@NathanOsman Lol it happened. ^^^
 
Took a while.
 
but still made it :P
 
5:48 AM
@nathan check your twitter
 
@JamesTobin I'll get to it in a sec.
 
[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Bad keyword with email in answer: IP addresses of DNS Queries Show Up Backwards in Wireshark by user589277 on askubuntu.com
 
6:04 AM
@NathanOsman snag.gy/DsST1Y.jpg my openbox build :)
fairly simple
 
Cool.
 
@NathanOsman not completely figuring out fvwm. I see the single click but I cant really get very far
 
@JamesTobin linux distro?
 
fvwm is a window manager
 
The outage appears to have been caused by a routing issue with one or more of our ISP. Things are stable now, will investigate more tomorrow
 
6:25 AM
I thought traffic was routed through Fastly?
 
no new tags for 48 hours on AU. Me gusta.
hey @NathanOsman, can you nuke the smokey posts?
 
Yup.
 
<3
did i start a UEFI war, that ended with UEFI being stronger than ever?
 
I can't tell if this is spam or not: askubuntu.com/a/819455/5
It's not a good answer either way.
 
What's wrong with UEFI?
(apart from it being a PITA)
 
6:33 AM
apparently it's a curse on computing
 
Am I that weird guy who's never had a problem with EFI/UEFI ever?
 
which makes no sense to me because UEFI is awesome once you learn how to use it
@NathanOsman no, i'm here too :D
wait no scratch that. and scratch that scratch that because that's hiren's fault
hey @JamesTobin what if i told you... i'd be able to give you a much nicer forum platform?
@NathanOsman, why does Ubuntu not come with multimedia decoders built in?
 
Patents and legal issues.
 
I may soon lose power
 
And it does ship with some decoders.
OGG Vorbis / Theora IIRC.
 
6:36 AM
huge thunderstorm :o
 
yeah but not stuff like MP3
 
I think it can also do H.264 decoding out-of-box.
@KazWolfe Fraunhofer IIS holds the patent to MP3.
 
because if you want another project volunteer, i could set up a better platform for documentation and discussions on your site.
 
just had lightening extremely close to the house shake my house like I've never felt before
 
@NathanOsman huh. so why can we install it with a checkbox?
 
6:37 AM
@KazWolfe Because that is your "consent" to waiving liability or whatever-you-call-it to install the packages.
I am not a lawyer.
But that's how I understand it.
 
interesting. yay open source
 
@JamesTobin Oh my.
 
though, if canonical wrote their own MP3 decoder, would it be against the rules to bundle it?
 
@KazWolfe You think that's fun... wait until I tell you about GIF...
 
@JamesTobin Do you even UPS?
@NathanOsman do i want to know?
 
6:39 AM
@KazWolfe If it was built using clean room reverse engineering.
 
I have laptop
thankfully
 
@KazWolfe Probably not - it helped push PNG adoption :)
 
my server will prob go down though
 
@NathanOsman so... where is APNG?
 
Where?
 
6:40 AM
well, it exists but was never adopted
so, we need to make @NathanOsman, @Rinzwind, and Jorge Castro mods.
 
@KazWolfe the patents are for the math, not the reimplimentation
LAME is open source but still somewhat patent encumbered
 
@JourneymanGeek urgh. and because of disney, it's never going to ever be released openly.
 
@KazWolfe Jorge already has been one :-)
 
@KazWolfe that's copyright
 
@JourneymanGeek oh, forgive the coffeeless wolf.
i can only think of ways to un-break servers this late lol
 
6:42 AM
Patents expire, just that software moves so fast that by the time a patent expires its probably obsolete
 
@KazWolfe I think nathan is a mod
 
@Rinzwind No he hasn't.
@JamesTobin Yes, but not on Ask Ubuntu.
 
The traditional value in a patent is that it gave you a chance to exploit it as a product
 
@NathanOsman he used to have a diamond? :-P
 
6:43 AM
@JourneymanGeek ...and exclusive rights to sell a product using it.
 
off topic stats: The lowest voted post in the last 30 says is -8, and the highest is 78 (coincidentally mine)
 
@Rinzwind Nope.
You're getting mixed up with someone else.
@KazWolfe Both? :D
 
rather than 'pure' licencing - which more often than not is used to get concessions, money or snarl up competition
 
@NathanOsman just the latter
i can try for the former lol
 
@NathanOsman fine. then force one onto him D:
 
6:44 AM
You too, Rinz
 
@KazWolfe "WINDOZE IS SO MUCH BETTAR THAN LINUCKS."
 
but yeah @JamesTobin hmu i have site ideas for you.
@NathanOsman "Technically incorrect answers are still valid"
"You can solve this problem by deleting your home profile by running rm -rf ~. PLEASE BE ADVISED THIS WILL DELETE DATA"
instant -30
 
Look what happened to Terdon :D
And that was in chat.
 
@NathanOsman what?
 
let's say he told someone to run that command
 
6:46 AM
Jun 23 '15 at 16:57, by jrg
Did we just tell someone to delete their home dir?
2
You can read the sordid details there.
 
do you have that on a clipboard or something
 
Chat search box. Such handy. Very lookup.
 
Jun 23 '15 at 16:56, by terdon
Shit
the most terdon thing lol
 
To be fair, he was really good at owning up to it after.
 
in fact, he manged to boil himself down to one word.
ohmygod that incident never makes me not laugh
 
6:48 AM
oh darn it!!!!!! eeeek!!!!
 
hi @terdon, we love you!
 
I have no idea why that never got made into a bookmark.
 
@JamesTobin you really need to get out more, bro
@NathanOsman should we?
 
I'll get on it right away.
 
MOD ABUSE IS BEST ABUSE
@NathanOsman, it feels like there's something missing
 
6:51 AM
Im looking at this post help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia and trying to determine which package I would use. I have Ubuntu 16.04lts and an Nvidea gtx 960.
 
loveingly kicks @KazWolfe with artisian care and kickery
 
lol
 
@JourneymanGeek what?
 
mod abuse! Best abuse!
 
there's a gap inasmuch as i don't ever see that command getting added to his bashrc
oh. ^~^
I've been to the Bridge. I'm certified for mod abuse levels 15x that exists here
2
 
6:52 AM
I need a witty title.
 
I am allowed to joke about kicking people. I'm not allowed to kick people as a joke ;p
 
"Terdon Learns the Ropes" ?
"rm rf'ers gonna rm rf" ?
 
@NathanOsman, I really feel as though I'm missing something
 
Missing something?
 
we have Terdon shouting DO NOT DO THAT at something that I can't see.
 
6:53 AM
I can get at the contents of the message as a chat mod.
 
FLEE YOU FOOLS!
 
/kick uefi
 
It is, of course, the message that started the whole thing.
 
maybe something was deleted?
 
But I need a title!
@KazWolfe Of course it was!
 
6:53 AM
aww. i wanted to see the command terdon gave
 
If you accidentally emailed the launch codes for the nukes, you would delete the email, no?
@KazWolfe I can look it up...
 
shouldn't that be there for posterity?
 
...IF I CAN GET A TITLE :P
 
"Terdon's Gonna Terdon"?
or no.
 
@NathanOsman title pending
 
6:54 AM
"Backups 101"
 
"Terdon or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love rm"
 
must have been deleted
 
"Ctrl+Z doesn't do what you think it does..."
 
"THAT COMMAND! IT DOES NOT MEAN WHAT YOU THINK IT MEANS!"
 
6:55 AM
"The three little Ubuntu users and the big bad Terdon?"

Hello all. May I ask your advise on something?
 
@Jodamo117 Go right ahead.
 
this is the perfect opportunity to parody dr. strangelove though
 
LOLOLOLOL
 
i mean rm is the nuke command, the parallel is perfect
 
6:56 AM
rm is just remove. ;p
 
@NathanOsman thank you: Im looking at this post help.ubuntu.com/community/… and trying to determine which package I would use. I have Ubuntu 16.04lts and an Nvidea gtx 960.
 
dd is a nuke package.
@Jodamo117 link is borked
 
On Linux, EVERYTHING is a nuke command!
 
lol
 
sorry
 
6:57 AM
"The little rm that could (and did)" ?
 
sudo apt install uefi
 
@NathanOsman would like to create a temp chat channel to chat with you but I cant figure out hwo
@KazWolfe sudo apt purge uefi
 
@Jodamo117 Sorry, the link got cut off. Can you try pasting again?
 
you dont have enough rep i dont think
 
6:58 AM
@JamesTobin I can do that for you.
Note that it will be public.
 
^'
or gallery
 
actually, since UEFI is good for nothing, sudo apt autoremove should do it
HAHAHA
@nathan sure thx
 
You should have been invited to it now.
 
oo i wanna spy on this lol
 
can we do the look?
