Q: Why are the 'xx packages can be updated' lines repeated twice?

When I logged in to my Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit server this morning over SSH, I saw this at the end of the 'welcome' screen: Graph this data and manage this system at: https://landscape.canonical.com/ 18 packages can be updated. 5 updates are security updates. 18 packages can be updated. 5 upd...

@Undo Seriously, who cares ?

Undo

I do, @HamZa!

It's like eighty bytes getting transferred over my network that I don't need!

HamZa

@Undo Have you tried to install those updates ?

Undo

well no

that might make the double-lining go away

and then I would be able to fix it

HamZa

We need to teach it the DRY principle :P

@hichris123 What's going on with you?

@Undo It's probably just a glitch.

A: Why are the 'xx packages can be updated' lines repeated twice?

This is probably due to this bug. It will be gone if you upgrade to 14.04.

Seth

@hichris123 that doesn't mean anything to me :-/

Undo

hmmmm

hichris123

@Seth ... there should be an image there.

Seth

I can see that.

hichris123

But... everything should work.

Am I doing something wrong?

I don't see how I'm supposed to know...

I wish I did.

@Seth You're good at random things, right?

:D

ah..

Unfortunately I have no idea what you're doing because PHP :(

hichris123

@Seth rofl. It's this: gist.github.com/hichris1234/f9c3a070b78144775487

Seth

@Undo Well it seems that bug did what I was going to tell you so..

Good answer :)

Undo

12:14 AM

yup :D

Seth

And very weird bug.

Undo

AU mods have such cute little tiny diamonds ;)

Seth

anyway, I had 73 packages to upgrade :O

@Undo You guys don't? Or is it because it's orange? :P

hichris123

@Seth I have 100... :P Is it just sudo apt-get update?

Undo

Seth

12:15 AM

@hichris123 No. upgrade and dist-upgrade (usually the latter)

Undo

My diamond is bigger :D

Seth

update only updates the package list, upgrade actually updates some things, but dist-upgrade is sometimes needed because upgrade is timid.

Undo

Uhmm... I ran sudo apt-get update and logged out and back in and the number got bigger

Seth

@Undo Yep. You update the package list and it saw more.

Undo

oh

Q: What is the difference between apt-get update and upgrade?

What is the difference between apt-get update and apt-get upgrade? Which should I run first? Do any of them automatically run the other?

command-line upgrade apt

hichris123

function download_attachment($item_id, $attachment) {
  $request = new Google_HttpRequest($attachment->getContentUrl(), 'GET', null, null);
  $httpRequest = Google_Client::$io->authenticatedRequest($request);
  if ($httpRequest->getResponseHttpCode() == 200) {
    return $httpRequest->getResponseBody();
  } else {
    // An error occurred.
    return null;
  }
}

^ See anything wrong with that? :(

Undo

what error does it give you if you run it with php?

hichris123

... how do you add GET vars to php?

Undo

Don't need to. Just see what happens

hichris123

if (!isset($_GET['timeline_item_id']) || !isset($_GET['attachment_id'])) {

Q: PHP passing $_GET in linux command prompt

Say we usually access via http://localhost/index.php?a=1&b=2&c=3 How do we execute the same in linux command prompt? php -e index.php But what about passing the $_GET variables? Maybe something like php -e index.php --a 1 --b 2 --c 3? Doubt that'll work. Thank you!

There's nothing with session....

Wait, outputs different thing now...

Annonomus Person

Wild guess: add <!DOCTYPE html>

(Before any PHP code)

hichris123

Annonomus Person

Add the doctype...

That should help... :/

EC2 is amazing

Annonomus Person

@Undo So 35 mbps?

(Mbyte vs mbit)

Undo

I've seen it do 100 mbps to some servers.

hichris123

12:28 AM

@AnnonomusPerson Trying it...

Annonomus Person

Whaoh! It must have some compression or do you have really fast internet?

Undo

@AnnonomusPerson This is EC2 :P

not my home internet

hichris123

@AnnonomusPerson Nope.

Undo

> Fetched 26.3 MB in 2s (10.5 MB/s)

Annonomus Person

@Undo I thought you meant from home to those servers I see now.

@hichris123 Try adding <html></html> below any code....

And close the PHP, too :P

Final code @HiChris:

`<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<?php
// Verify that the parameters we want are there
if (!isset($_GET['timeline_item_id']) || !isset($_GET['attachment_id'])) {
header("HTTP/1.0 400 Bad Request");

// Authenticate if we're not already
if (!isset($_GET['userid']) || get_credentials($_GET['userid']) == null) {

12:32 AM

fixed that for you ;)

Annonomus Person

thanks!

What was the problem?

hichris123

No fixy @AnnonomusPerson. :(

Annonomus Person

@hichris123 Even with the closing ?> and the doctype?

hichris123

Yeah.

Annonomus Person

Same errors?

hichris123

12:34 AM

No errors really...

Annonomus Person

@hichris123 What about this error?

hichris123

@AnnonomusPerson Nevermind about that one, I didn't do something right.

Annonomus Person

Oh.... been working on the wrong problem :D

What's the problem with the code then?

hichris123

@AnnonomusPerson The image doesn't display.

Hmmm....

Q: Is it a bad idea to not allow users to register with an easy to guess password?

We all know them: password, password123, and letmein are all fairly common passwords and are easy to guess. Still, people use them. Would it be a bad idea to not allow users to use common passwords? I could display an error message with a list of "bad passwords that you cannot use." Should I all...

password

Working on password security.... :/ A pain :P

BTW @hic Move on to something else for now...

hichris123

@AnnonomusPerson Homework. :(

hichris123

@AnnonomusPerson ... I don't. Probably should, though... :/

Annonomus Person

@AnnonomusPerson I know, right!

@hichris123 :D

@Undo Actually, no.

So no homework then.

12:55 AM

It's all homework

Annonomus Person

@Undo :D

Oh, @hichris123 AWS price cuts.

Annonomus Person

How long do you "school"?

hichris123

@Undo Or is it all schoolwork? :P

@Undo Wow.

Undo

@AnnonomusPerson until I get tired and decide to work on Blaze or Wick or Radius or something

Annonomus Person

12:56 AM

I like how everybody is ignoring the fact that I'm having a conversation with myself... :D

@Undo But on average? Like 6hrs? 15?

Undo

Like per day? 3-4ish. I learn fast.

hichris123

@Undo ... which is why I totally want to be you. :P

Annonomus Person

@Undo Uhh...

That's not fair...

Undo

If life were fair...

hichris123

I'm in school from 7:25-3:20 :(

Annonomus Person

12:58 AM

Public schools have like 12hrs total with homework...

(At least mine did)

Undo

I've tasted public school. Not fun.

Actually it was some kind of 'gifted and talented' program, which I think meant they corral all the loudest most annoying kids into the same room.

Annonomus Person

@Undo Half of the time it wasn't even learning... 50+ minutes between classes

@Undo :D Those programs...

Undo

is annoyed at having to type https:// every time I want to see SR

hichris123

@Undo You should see some of my Honors classes... :P

Undo

fun, right?

hichris123

1:00 AM

Actually, yes... kinda.

Annonomus Person

How much work do you have to do @HiChris?

hichris123

We go wildly off-topic sometimes. :P

Annonomus Person

(With HW)

hichris123

@AnnonomusPerson Oh gosh... all of school & 2 hours homework maybe?

Undo

When I was in school I had research, math, then physics. I would do all the research homework in math and usually the math homework too. Then only have the physics homework to do at home :D

Annonomus Person

1:03 AM

And then there are classes like "Managing Money"... I know all of the content so far. Why can't we just test out?

Undo

I just realized you can get an EC2 instance with 49.15 TB of storage :P

Annonomus Person

Cool school idea: could like have a project due every two weeks where we try to incorporate math, science, and other subjects into a coding project and then that count as HW... get time in class.

@HiChris wouldn't that be cool?

@Undo Because 50TB is too much to ask for....

:P

(Actually, isn't it a flaw in base 2-10 conversion?)

hichris123

Nevermind.

Annonomus Person

:P

Maybe public education is a waste of time jk lol

hichris123

@AnnonomusPerson Yeah, cool idea. Actually, GitHub isn't blocked by my school. :D

Annonomus Person

1:06 AM

@Undo BTW the diamond is Unicode, not ASCII

@hichris123 But really, bring a laptop... the only problem would be github :P

(Work together.... reuse code.... no homework!!!)

They build the schools here out of lead-infused bricks to inhibit WiFi and cell reception :P

Annonomus Person

@Undo SAFETY HAZARD!

hichris123

@Undo We have an easy to access in school WiFi network, which you login via your network username/password. :D

Annonomus Person

@hichris123 IIRC it's like "guest" or something like that XD

Undo

@hichris123 You use a proxy, right?

because otherwise they're probably tracking everything you do.

paulstamatiou.com/how-to-surf-securely-with-ssh-tunnel

Annonomus Person

1:10 AM

Or a VPN so it's encrypted

hichris123

@Undo Nah, too much work. :P

Annonomus Person

Or HTTPs everywhere but there'll still be domains.

Undo

@AnnonomusPerson SSH tunneling is encrypted.

Annonomus Person

oh right... :P

Undo

@hichris123 I have to push only like three buttons to get SSH tunneling. Use it on any public wifi network..

Annonomus Person

1:11 AM

@Undo It depends really on what he's doing on public wifi.

Undo

no it doesn't.

hichris123

@Undo Yeah, but you see we use in-school desktops/laptops.

Annonomus Person

@Undo on mobile devices?

Undo

@AnnonomusPerson yup :D

I've done it before, somehow.

@AnnonomusPerson Government being able to track what you do is creepy, even if you're just buying coffee tables on Amazon.

school == government

Annonomus Person

@Undo And that's not creepy itself for you, a 14 year old, to be buying coffee tables?!?!!??!?!?

Undo

1:13 AM

sigh EXAMPLES!

Annonomus Person

(I mean, if that's what floats your boat... it is still a little weird)

@Undo Says who? :P

Undo

:P

I'm going to get a sockpuppet to come in here and irritate you again :P

Annonomus Person

@Undo That'll be pointless... I know about it already...

Undo

not if I work hard to make it look legit

and do it when you aren't suspecting it

Annonomus Person

IPXref when a user's annoying me...

1:16 AM

Annonomus Person

rrrar

Undo

oh, only 396 days left on my suspension!

Annonomus Person

@Undo I could change it back to full....

Undo

@AnnonomusPerson You can't make it go past like 415 days

Annonomus Person

;)

@Undo I can add 19 days for today...

Undo

1:18 AM

oh :(

I can't wait for someone to ask why I'm suspended on mSO.

Annonomus Person

@Undo Oh yeah you can't go on SO or on mSO right? ROTFL

Changes dates

hichris123

@AnnonomusPerson If you change his parent site...

Annonomus Person

YAY!

I wish you could block access to settings....

hichris123

Nevermind. It was auto-protected. :P

Annonomus Person

Why? It's protected....

Undo

@AnnonomusPerson I don't :P
