I'm back now

@ArtOfCode I'm not getting redirected (even with caching disabled)

@NobodyNada scroll up about an hour

tl;dr: HSTS doesn't redirect you unless you've already visited https once

Ah

so... apparently uninstalling python3 causes problems

and there was me thinking python 2 was the system version

Never ever uninstall any Python. Period.

too late :)

this is gonna be a fun evening

many errors

Can you just reinstall?

nope

(also, why'd you uninstall it?)

that's broken too

@NobodyNada in an attempt to fix it

Restart: API quota is 16075.

aaaand now my backup script is dying...

might nuke 600 MB of Chrome cache before I back this up...

My impression of NG right now:

Remember: until proven otherwise, all backups are broken

@Undo this is just me, not NG :)

@Ferrybig which is why I'm doing one now and not relying on yesterday's :P

@DavidPostill Good idea not to post mod stuff in here

It's just suspicious enough that I'd like to see if they post that same thing on SU

@Undo Oops. Noted

@ArtOfCode AskUbuntu is full of questions by people who nuked python... It's fun.

Yep, slowly working my way through those :)

good look then

may the patience be with you

@ArtOfCode Is this uninstall python issue only affecting Ubuntu? Is there a canonical answer yet?

@DavidPostill well I only uninstalled it from ubuntu, so... yes

@quartata Later (as in hours from now), I'll try to rewrite a small example app that reproduces my error so that I can post about it on SO. In the mean time, can you give me a run down of what daemon is doing, so that I can explain it without being eaten alive as a 20K user with most of my posts in Python? :) (also...rubber duck debugging may help too)

The apt package manager becomes unusable, as it is basically a set of Python scripts. SO you have to download and install the basic python packages apt needs manually with dpkg until you can use apt again to install all the rest.

@Undo yay, I'm not the only one randomly linking XKCD stuff in chat

If it can't, I would be very, very surprised

You can do it in a Thread.new, or install a gem.

@QPaysTaxes Yep.

You might want something like github.com/sequelize/sequelize.

solution: don't use postgres

I thought you were using a graph database for this

Errors were encountered while processing:
 gnome-software
 mysql-server-5.7
 snap-confine
 snapd
 ubuntu-core-launcher
 ubuntu-software
 mysql-server

this sounds like fun

ah

rails definitely doesn't

if you did it with nails you'd have to find a graph DB library, but it'd be easier than with rails

which is not necessarily easy

> 157 to remove

157 what?

if I keep telling myself this is a good idea, it'll go okay, right

packages

what are you doing?

attempting to fix my system after removing python 3

I meant "what command wants to remove 157 packages," sorry

sudo apt-get remove --purge libpython3.5 libpython3.5-dev libpython3.5-minimal python3.5 python3.5-dev python3.5-minimal

yep

yep

oh I did that three hours ago

now I'm just nuking the remnants so I can do a clean reinstall

@QPaysTaxes yes

so... this is very broken

/me is glad I have a live usb and full backup

349

349?

xkcd/349

Watch out for sharks.

.......

You got me. Kick button looks sooooo appealing right now.

@QPaysTaxes Congrats on breaking oneboxing!

My thought process: "Wait, why did that not onebox?" hovers over link "ohhhhhh"

@Undo learn the video code, it helps :)

I didn't even glance at the preview

Yep, that's a known way to suppress it

oh, I see what you're doing

@ArtOfCode Or assume that nobody will surreptitiously hide a benign YouTube link.

I don't know how I feel about CHQ being a rickroll training ground :P

this is badly broken

can't write to external hard drive, IO error

Yikes

A while back, I introduced an easter egg in FireAlarm. If a post ID was a multiple of 1,000 (or 10,000, can't remember), it would report that post, except the link would be a rickroll

The problem was, it didn't properly account for edits on the post

So it would often rickroll the same post several times in a row

now it can't even mount the disk

What'd you break, exactly?

uninstalled python 3

Sounds like you'll be reinstalling an OS

Are you on the live usb or the broken OS right now?

I'm tempted to unmount the Windows partition and external drives, and then sudo rm -rf / --no-preserve-root --permission-to-kill-kittens-explicitly-granted just to watch it die

@NobodyNada the broken one

Chrome is still living, apparently

@ArtOfCode See you on mobile :)

23:29 sounds like a good time to reinstall an OS

Just a sledgehammer will do, won't it?

I do still have another functional OS on this PC... and I'd quite like to keep it... maybe another day

afk

@Andy No need, I've reproduced it on Linux and I'm pushing a fix

multiprocessing sucks

@ArtOfCode you can stop trying to install python 3.6 now

@quartata oh, 3.6 is already installed

it's 3.5 I got issues with

hokay

reinstall time

Jeez, I'm so sorry

well, nuke time first. Might reinstall in the morning

Remind me not to give advice on this sort of thing from mobile

someone do me a quick recommendation of screen-capture software for ubuntu?

Comes with gnome-screenshot

very good

I'll record the console and see how long everything lasts before it all dies

Oh you mean video

I usually use ffmpeg

and then I'll have to see if I can salvage the footage...

It has an X11 capture thing

on second thoughts that just isn't gonna work is it

oh well

wait... I'm assuming it doesn't, but should probably check: will sudo rm -rf / remove stuff from unmounted disks

Why are you rm -rf /-ing

Just reformat the partition

I want to see the system melt

but I'd rather not nuke Windows

I have just been informed, however, that doing that is likely to nuke the motherboard's firmware. So, unfortunately, no system-melting for me.

Really?

Never heard that before. Wonder why.
