12:00 AM
either way, business people still use them quite regularly.
 
@Serg I have no idea how to do that in GTK, sorry.
I don't even know if it is possible.
I have to look stuff up in the GTK docs just to put buttons on the screen.
 
@Serg how did you get the window transparent?
 
I have seen people do it with cairo module but i just want something built in
 
@Serg doesn't cairo come included with pythons Gtk3 module? It comes on Rubys gems
 
you can always tell a CelticWarrior comment by how frank and to-the-point the message is
A read only message in USB flash drives is usually and indication of imminent failure. It's clearly an hardware issue and you already know that: I tried to do it in both Windows & Ubuntu but failed. — CelticWarrior Nov 3 at 0:28
 
12:01 AM
@IanC theres a function for that in Gtk. But it works different to what i want. Ill show example once im at work in an hour
 
It's called a Pointing Stick?
ergh
 
yes
 
at least J-mouse sounds cool
 
of the 8 accounts that followed me on twitter in the last 30 days, only 2 are still following me.
twitter spam is so obnoxious.
 
not sure what ro take . . .sandwich or burger . . .or maybe rice bowl of sorts
 
12:09 AM
@Serg pho
 
@Zacharee1 no pho on college campus
eh, whatever. sandwich it is
 
nooooooo
 
alright, finished Ruby's course from codecademy
 
@IanC how was it ? Worth trying ?
 
yeah, in the beginning it was a bit boring, because it was aimed towards total beginners (so someone with no background can start there)
but in the end it introduced some stuff I didn't know, like procs/lambdas, modules, mixins
and gave a better idea on how Ruby works
 
12:23 AM
@Seth ohhh i see you shit posting on r/ubuntu
 
@edwinksl :p
 
Oh look, starbucks has another version of holiday cup
 
@Serg is it purple?
 
 
@Seth why do you have a flair? not fair
 
12:32 AM
I'm offended that it isn't purple
 
@Zacharee1 it is not. Triggered
 
It's too festive!!
 
i am offended you are offended
 
@edwinksl I'm offended you didn't capitalize your "I"
 
tsk
 
12:33 AM
I'm also offended that you're offended that I'm offended and that you "tsk"ed at me because I was offended that you didn't capitalize your "I" when you said you were offended that I was offended
 
Lights arent colored , all white. White supremacy agenda ?
 
confirmed
 
how's that for a sentence?
 
I am offended it doesnt have chinese characters on it because there is chinese holidays coming too
 
@Zacharee1 the kind that earns you a D in english class
 
12:35 AM
... ... offended ... ... offended ... ... offended ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... offended ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... offended ... ... ... offended
@Serg HOW DAHRE THEY
 
Dahre ? Oo
Sounds like like a name
 
seriously though, why are people angry that Starbucks isn't making their cups Christmas-ey? Why do they think it's an attack against Christianity?
@Serg meant to sound regal
 
@Zacharee1 poor attempt, try harder plzzz
 
@Zacharee1 because nowadays people are offended by just about anything and seriously speaking, the civil rights movement has shot itself in the dragonballZ
 
@edwinksl ubuntu member :p
 
12:39 AM
an attack on Christianity would be if Starbucks put a menorah and a hijab/burka making fun of a cross or something.
Christmas isn't even really Christian....
 
We need people to stop , STFU, and realize that we are all on this planet together, so instead of "im offended" competitions we need to work together
4
I am not sure how to explain better but seriously people need to chill . . .a lot . .
 
@Serg good thing people are so accepting towards opinions they don't share, huh?
 
@Zacharee1 yep, and thats another big problem. Hopefully newer generations will be better at opinions than " F#ck you, starbucks" . at least i hope
 
@Serg we newer generations are the problem in a lot of cases
or do you mean future gens?
 
@Zacharee1 future ones. Millenials failed
 
12:44 AM
heh
 
ok, it took me like 10 tries to win once at my asteroids game.. maybe it needs to be easier
btw, did you find some time to take a peak at the code @Serg?
 
@Seth fancy. i am jelly
 
@NathanOsman this should also be tweeted:
6 hours ago, by IanC
lol
 
A... tad short... don't you think?
And not really all that verbose - even for Twitter.
 
but it's perfect
 
12:50 AM
r/nocontext though
 
it reflects pretty much exactly the attitude of this room :p
 
25,290 messages is a lot.
 
zach dominates
 
lol
@NathanOsman it's more messages than we have starred
 
Did you say we don't star enough?
7
 
12:53 AM
no
but you're welcome to infer that
 
man, one of my most starred messages, if not the most, is a "lol"
5
 
lol
Alexa is too quiet
 
@Seth That is legit funny.
Now if only Roombas were voice controlled...
 
1:07 AM
@NathanOsman I added you to Steam...
@NathanOsman I am sure someone is working on VC'ing their Roombas

Q: Recover accidentally removed website

MrJack McfrederA friend of mine has accidentally removed his website from plesk panel 😞 Is there a way to recover his website files and MySQL database thank you,

 
@TheXed Cool.
You can see what I've been playing :D
 
cities skylines?
 
I see Cities Skyline is 50% off, but I am affriad if I buy another game from Steam this week my wife is going to have my head...
 
maybe get her to play too?
 
1:11 AM
@TheXed It was 75% off before.
You waited too long.
@edwinksl :D
 
Nah...I was already overbudget with the steam link :-P
and the nighthawk...
and the amazon echo dot (which is pretty cool BTW)
 
Netgear Nighhawk
No...not that one...
 
There's another one?
 
1:17 AM
@TheXed "up to up to 1750Mbps" ??? Where were you when I was choosing myself a router ?
 
@Serg I happened across it last night, it was on sale on amazon for 67 dollars.
I paid 72 total for it
 
hmm, not bad
 
it retails for 200
 
My current router is a TP-Link N600, its not a bad router...
just wanted something a "little" faster
 
1:22 AM
Well, I needed just "something" because fighting my poor old Netopia 3000 is just pain in the Aaaaawesome part of the body
 
@Serg oh, so it wasn't the most starred message! :p
I was checking the messages I starred, there's a Rebecca Black video?
 
WiFi goes down ? Enable it, and DSL connection goes down. DSL comes back ? Aaaand it's lost within 5 minutes. And then I spend about 3 hours digging around my router settings until I give up , and then it comes back on again
Aug 28 at 19:05, by Serg
 
oh, sorry @NathanOsman (and I basically admited my crime of liking it :D)
 
Why in the name of cucumbers is that message starred ?
 
I don't even know how to type this!
 
1:26 AM
It was some UTF character
Nov 5 '15 at 20:57, by Serg
Doing self evaluation for my job, and it's asking "what are your weaknesses" . . . .um, bacon ?
This one was funny ^
I'm not quite sure what to do with this one: askubuntu.com/q/855181/295286
Spam ? Doesn't really seem like. Not broad. On topic , pretty much - using 3rd party app on Ubuntu
 
I think it's a bit broad
like, he doesn't ask something specific about using it, just how to use it
 
1:57 AM
@Serg That isn't true.
They combine channels to get those numbers.
It's a bit of tricky advertising.
 
I knew it looks too good to be true
 
lol Windows 10 home is rated 2.6 on microsoft.com xD
 
Sounds about right ;p
 
dammit network indicator, where did you go ?
 
2:16 AM
@Seth I think this might be near you iob.imgur.com/uYGg/TndPPA9eIy
> Winlock Eggspress, in Winlock WA. Between Seattle and Portland
 
Only 100 miles from me :p
 
Noooo
 
@Seth Jorge's meta post about the HWE change should be featured, IMHO
 
You have to go there
 
@muru Mind giving me a quick overview? I tried to read it earlier today but finals are frying my brain and I didn't understand it :/
@Zacharee1 google maps says 2 hours driving
 
2:19 AM
And?
:p
 
@Seth essentially, in 14.04 and older, all the linux-generic-lts-* packages were supported for the duration of the release and you could stay on one of them, until the 5th point release. Now, there's just on such package, and people will be automatically upgraded from, say, 4.8 to 4.12 to 4.16 and so on.
(unless you stay on the kernel released with the original LTS version)
 
When it comes to BTRFS:
rebalance is the new defragment. — Nathan Osman 13 secs ago
 
@muru Ah, ok.
That makes sense
 
I think I'm gonna make my own network indicator. nm-applet slightly pisses me off right now . . .
just slightly though
 
2:55 AM
@Serg I'm thinking about using nmcli lately, the nm indicator is a bit buggy
the wifi connections available wasn't showing in the indicator, but I could find it and connect through nmcli
 
@IanC yeah, that's the same thing I was thinking.
 
never seen that one before, but it's hilarious xD
 
How convenient that WiFi and microwaves run on 2.4 GHz
dammit numbers . . .
 
um.... why do you need a network manager indicator?... I just plug the blue wire into the router and forget about it.
 
wifi can run on 5GHz though
and I recommend using it, unless you're me with the stupid BIOS whitelisted Lenovo and the cheap Atheros card...
 
3:00 AM
@Seth worse range tho
 
^--- this
 
although my thinkpad does 5GHz so yay
 
@JourneymanGeek range schmange
 
@Serg the reasoning behind that is funny
 
@JourneymanGeek sure but how much range do you need?
 
3:01 AM
@Seth 5ghz has trouble getting through walls
 
@Seth that's if you have ac network , I'm unfortunately stuck with bg :)
 
@Serg b is 5GHz ;)
 
granted I need a repeater in my apartment
 
@JourneymanGeek true, but how many walls do you have lol
 
@Seth lots
also b is 2.4 ghz
 
3:01 AM
I'm sorry, you're right.
 
A is 5ghz and somewhat uncommon
 
I got it mixed up with a
 
Once we got that, range problems disappeared.
 
and you can use A with AC
 
 
@NathanOsman yeah more antennas never hurts
@Serg yeah, got it mixed up with a.. :/
really though, get a router with 5GHz.
 
@NathanOsman I have a cheap asus N56U + a repeater + a second AC AP with its 2.4 ghz signal power turned all the way down....
 
Simultaneous dual band if you can.
 
Well , I need some router right now. I'll figure it out later when I have more money and time
 
@Serg my old router was a D-Link DIR-600 with DD-WRT.
It was less than $30.
 
3:03 AM
I buy my routers used
 
tbh, I'm trying to delay AP upgrades until I can actually afford the setup I want
 
ain't got no time to buy brand new
 
And if it weren't for speeds being limited to 100 Mbps, I would still be using that one.
 
@NathanOsman dlinks suck in my experience
 
@JourneymanGeek Even with DD-WRT?
 
3:04 AM
Meh, I got two new ones on Amazon, cheapo though
 
Actually, the only router I've ever bought new was a router/modem combo and then I couldn't even use it for long lol
 
Because I am stuck with DSL, and whatever was in Goodwill needed cable
 
@Serg that's unfortunate :/
 
I want either mesh or enterprise APs and a pfsense box
 
@JourneymanGeek don't we all :P
 
3:05 AM
and a pf sense box is rediculously good value if you don't need wifi
@Seth Mesh APs make a ton of sense for me
but they arn't really out on the market here
180 usd gets me aliexpress.com/item/…
 
I just need something that can promise and deliver gigabit without (1) choking and (2) needing constant reboots.
 
@NathanOsman my asus does that
my dlink... does not
 
NOW you tell me :D
I have never seen AC speeds above 230-240 Mbps though.
Has anyone achieved better?
 
my printer requires g.. so no :/
 
@Seth can run them side by side
 
3:07 AM
@JourneymanGeek printer still dies when I do that
which is weird, but true.
 
Ah, printers.
 
Ooo, found something interesting, Cisco wireless router, a/b/g/n , 10/100/1000M Ethernet : newegg.com/Product/…-pla--Network+-+Wireless+Rou‌​ters-_-N82E16833422811&gclid=CP79yum_z9ACFQkJaQodYMUOCA&gclsrc=aw.ds
 
We can put a man on the moon but we can't put ink on paper.
 
Do they have a new spec yet to speed up 1000 Mbps Ethernet or is that still the limit?
 
@Serg That actually looks pretty good?
 
3:08 AM
@WinEunuuchs2Unix 10gbps over copper is a thing for ages
 
why does chat not format the link properly
 
@WinEunuuchs2Unix 10 GbE
But that's not a new thing.
 
there's also iirc 2 'slower' better than gigabit standards in the work
 
Do they have laptops with 10GbE?
 
@WinEunuuchs2Unix Probably not...
 
3:09 AM
No
 
You're lucky to get a workstation with 10 GbE.
 
There's few desktops with it either
and maybe one or two consumer routers
 
Well at least they have the 10GbE spec now.... stuff will roll out in a few years.
 
● Denial-of-service (DoS) prevention (ping of death, SYN flood, and IP spoofing)
● VPN pass-through with IP Security (IPsec), Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP), and Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP)
 
3:13 AM
They've had the spec for ages
I mean even over copper
just pricy
 
You would need USB4 though and other PCIE improvements to support 10 Gbps though right?
 
USB4 isn't even out yet
 
I think it just does normal PCIe
 
Maybe USB4 will have to be fibre :)
 
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2.5GBASE-T_and_5GBASE-T is new and not very supported
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10_Gigabit_Ethernet#10GBASE-T has started turning up on consumer boxen
 
3:16 AM
Well 2.5 and 5 Gbps are steps in the right direction right?
 
eh. Not sure of the value if there's affordable 10gbe gear
 
@WinEunuuchs2Unix considering thunderbolt 3 can do 40gbps... I guess?
 
Did you guys just say 10 Gbps was rare on desktops and non-existant on laptops?
 
I wouldn't really stand to gain anything from that yet.
 
3:19 AM
@JourneymanGeek people were saying yesterday never buy Dlink and your link (no pun intended) says one is for sale at $1470 giving 10 Gbps.
 
pricy but meh, not that bad
 
really though. thunderbolt 3. 40gbps. 5GBps. Insane.
 
You would need at least two devices with support for 10 GbE to get any benefit.
 
@WinEunuuchs2Unix I was meaning more the cards
 
@Seth When an actual product achieves those speeds, then we'll clap :P
 
3:19 AM
and tbh short range, point to point connections to a nas is where 10gbe can be handy
 
We all know how it goes with theoretical maximums.
 
@JourneymanGeek so . . . in that article the guy got 10Gb NIC , right ?
 
@Serg yup
Don't bother ;p
 
@JourneymanGeek Only if your NAS has SSDs or NVMes.
Don't expect to get those speeds out of spinning disks.
 
@NathanOsman I suppose, but you'd be building that yourself anyway sooooo
 
3:20 AM
@NathanOsman sure, but consdiering USB 3.1 is only 10gbps..
 
I suppose an obscenely huge RAID could do that... maybe...
 
@NathanOsman get a small one and use it as a caching drive
 
well . . . it makes no sense to have 10 Gb on LAN , at least IMHO
 
that will help writes anyway
 
The point being, if you were crazy enough, it might be afforable.
 
3:21 AM
As it stands now, I have 15+ devices on the network - only three are gigabit.
So it will take some time before 10 GbE means anything.
What I would really like to see is gigabit WLAN speeds.
Not just promises either. Like actual real-world results.
 
Wireless is already saturated and AC doesn't seem to work.
 
My phone has UFS 2.0, so storage isn't the bottleneck here.
And the NAS can ingest data at about 450-480 Mbps.
There's room to grow here :P
 
only actual real world test I could find. Granted, using special hardware, but it at least shows those speeds are possible with the spec. Other hardware is still the bottleneck.
 
Um . . .I found this answer. It basically says, "read the date man page" . . . I'm not quite sure if it deserves 7 upvotes it got
 
@Seth 2600 GB/s. That is insane.
 
3:28 AM
Downgoated and left a comment
 
@NathanOsman even Ram isn't 2600 GB/s is it?
 
No, it is faster than that.
 
really... I thought it was slower :(
 
DDR3 has a maximum speed of 6400 MB/s.
No wait.
 
exactly!
DDR2-400 PC2-3200 3200 MB/s
DDR2-533 PC2-4200 4266 MB/s
DDR2-667 PC2-5300 5333 MB/s
DDR2-800 PC2-6400 6400 MB/s
 
3:32 AM
DDR3-1333 (what I have) is 10.6 GB/s.
 
nice... mine is much slower.
although it really doesn't matter because I can't type that fast anyway :p
 
DDR4 can get to 20 GB/s.
@WinEunuuchs2Unix There isn't much of anything anyone can do that fast :P
 
not true, the US Treasury can print money that fast!
 
True.
 
I wonder what my ram speed is.... hang on
 
3:35 AM
what the heck do i have ?

hello.
 
I can't afford a fireplace, but I could take that old 37" toshiba LCD TV on the living room floor and run the old Shaw Cable fireplace tv show on it.
 
@WinEunuuchs2Unix they have a channel that's just a fireplace burning, don't they?
 
lol
 
@NathanOsman they used to have it 20 years ago... I don't want to sign up for Shaw cable again... I only have their internet... I just want to find some video of fireplace burning
 
@NathanOsman I think you are reading it wrong. Unless I am doing the math wrong it's just 2.5GB/s
 
3:48 AM
2.5GB/s sounds more down to earth :)
 
@Seth Reading what wrong?
 
@NathanOsman sorry, this.
 
@Seth Stupid me. I meant 2600 MB/s.
:P
...which is pretty much what you said.
 
...which sounds like the speed of RAM thereabouts
anyway....time to watch the news and laugh at them before going to sleep....night all :)
 
@WinEunuuchs2Unix youtube.com/…
 
4:01 AM
@WinEunuuchs2Unix No, no, no. RAM is much faster than that.
@JourneymanGeek For bonus points, short a couple wires and you'll get the nice warm feeling of a fireplace as well.
(Yes, I'm kidding.)

I know in *nix community we like to say "RTFM" but an answer with fscking 7 upvotes just for saying exactly that , "just read the manual", is SO rules thrown out of the window
 
lol
@Serg I usually accompany that with the appropriate part of said manual
Makes them look even dumber ;)
 
@JourneymanGeek well, the guy didn't even provide any part of the said manual. Funny enough, after I downvoted and commented, some guy upvoted it and left me comment saying "well serg, it was posted within minutes as accepted answer". That doesn't give excuse for an answer that is basically gives OP nothing
 
yup. but I'm awesome ;)
 
awesome doesn't mean you can sacrifice quality for quantity ;)

@terdon So Linux is geeky but not nerdy... TIL. What a great infographic...
 
More geeky than nerdy anyway. At least according to that. And yeah, that is a cool graphic. Just a random internet find.
And, as always, there's a relevant xkcd!
The definitions I grew up with were that a geek is someone unusually into something (so you could have computer geeks, baseball geeks, theater geeks, etc) and nerds are (often awkward) science, math, or computer geeks. But definitions vary.
