Simon Sheehan

@studiohack oh hey! Just got home, noticed your message

Oliver Salzburg

Neat-o, yesterday was day 700 of my superusery

Journeyman Geek

nice ;p

Simon Sheehan

woo

I was on for like 400 some days straight

then sort of disappeared for the past year :P

Oliver Salzburg

What blows my mind is, I'm still behind on my SO days

Even though I have been a mod for over a year :P

SO is so omnipotent :P

Simon Sheehan

12:58 AM

wow haha

Oh hey, im close to you!

704 days, 6 consecutive

Just clipped my laptop off a ceiling fan... not sure how

Oliver Salzburg

The thing is, my consecutive days have always only been broken by a single day for quite some time. And I still haven't taken over my SO days

SO content is really powerful :P

Simon Sheehan

I'm not much of a programmer haha. I can't really seem to get too into any other sites besides SU

Well actually MSO i used to visit a lot

Ariane

Hey. Apart from µTorrent, does someone have a torrent client they could suggest?

Oliver Salzburg

@SimonSheehan Well, that's awesome, I guess ;D

Simon Sheehan

@Ariane Transmission. Easy, lightweight

Oliver Salzburg

1:02 AM

@Ariane qbittorrent

Simon Sheehan

Simon Sheehan, Canada

2.6k 1 10 22

MSO, not bad

274 days, 1 consecutive

Oliver Salzburg

@SimonSheehan Get dat 10k on SU boy!

Ariane

@SimonSheehan Dowsn't seem to be available for Windows.

Simon Sheehan

@OliverSalzburg It was so hard to get 5k :( But yes! always on the lookout for something to answer :)

@Ariane sourceforge.net/projects/trqtw

Un-official, but a port of it

Oliver Salzburg

@SimonSheehan I see you around all the time. Actually, I was surprised right now that you aren't 10k

Simon Sheehan

1:05 AM

Open source, updated to the stream regularly as far as i know

@OliverSalzburg Haha I've been lurking a lot for the past year, I was pretty inactive. But yeah, I'm working my way up :)

Ariane

@SimonSheehan Dunno, unofficial port...

Simon Sheehan

@Ariane Has 233 5 star reviews haha, I think thats credible

But hey, up to you of course

Simon Sheehan, Canada

5.7k 5 27 50

windows-7 windows linux mac osx firefox ubuntu

See, not many answers :p

Compared to most people

Oliver Salzburg

@SimonSheehan You don't need a lot, quality over quantity ;)

Simon Sheehan

@OliverSalzburg :) Indeed, you know it. My questions usually earn me more rep than my answers :p

Ariane

@Simon Well, feel like trying it out.

Oliver Salzburg

1:07 AM

@SimonSheehan Quality questions are just as welcome as quality answers

Simon Sheehan

@Ariane Okay! It's a well used client on *nix/OS X, that's just my experience

@OliverSalzburg :) Indeed. I'll have to add a bookmark for MSU again too

Oliver Salzburg

@SimonSheehan I have both MSU and SU pinned, but, well, it's kind of my job :P

Simon Sheehan

@OliverSalzburg You make a good point ;) I did run for moderator before, but realized I didn't have the time haha

Actually I think it was the election you won! :P

Simon Sheehan

Triple monitors? VERY fancy!

Also, what are you using to get that nifty looking darker chat room?

Oliver Salzburg

1:13 AM

@SimonSheehan github.com/oliversalzburg/se-chat-dark-theme

Also: stackapps.com/questions/3724/super-user-dark-theme

Simon Sheehan

Oh wow, i like the look of this!

Ariane

@SimonSheehan So far I find the interface unpleasant but I'll keep trying it.

Simon Sheehan

@Ariane It is meant to be fairly minimal and light, not something usually found on windows :p

@OliverSalzburg Dumb question of the day - how do i use it? :P

It's been a while since i used extensions like this haha

Oliver Salzburg

@SimonSheehan What browser are you using?

Simon Sheehan

@OliverSalzburg Le firefox

Oliver Salzburg

1:16 AM

@SimonSheehan You'll need an extension called Stylish. It will allow you to load github.com/oliversalzburg/se-chat-dark-theme/blob/master/…

Ariane

Yeah, well, minimal and light doesn't haaaave to be unpleasant. But that's just a question of habit, I guess. A Windows user won't just fall in love with a Mac/Linux originated interface, just like Mac users will probably not like something "Windows style".

Simon Sheehan

Gotcha, installing now

@Ariane Indeed, we don't like the windows style ;)

As much as people bash the Mac's... I've really enjoyed mine from day 1

Ariane

Bahahaha. I'm the exact contrary. I find every single detail about how a Mac is designed irritating. Well maybe not physical design, because I actually like it, but the OS.

Simon Sheehan

Good thing we have preferences for operating systems, everyone likes it differently

Mind you, I do own a high end desktop as well, that runs windows

@OliverSalzburg this is awesome, thanks!

Oliver Salzburg

@SimonSheehan And just because I feel no shame in promoting my work: addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/se-chat-reply-helper and addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/…

Simon Sheehan

1:20 AM

Got the KBD one, needed it!

Ariane

Uuuuugh. No sorry. Transmission is just too unpleasant. Nope.

Oliver Salzburg

Awesome :)

Other people using the stuff I wrote is a pleasure for myself :)

Because it means I didn't just waste time on my own ideas :P

Simon Sheehan

hahaha good point my friend

Mozilla needs to hurry up and approve it ;)

Oliver Salzburg

@SimonSheehan I have no idea what's up with that

I have actually been slipping down in the queue the last week

Ariane

Okay, this is a bad port. I installed it through a proper installer, but it's not on Programs and features. They assume people are gonna think this is like a Mac and they should just browse to the app's folder and delete it. Sigh.

Simon Sheehan

1:22 AM

@OliverSalzburg Happens all the time with most people, guess it takes a bit.

@Ariane oh great... sorry for the bad recommendation!

Oliver Salzburg

@SimonSheehan Yeah, I don't want to complain to them. The reviewers are volunteers, kinda like SE mods ;P

Ariane

Well I guess it's surely a good client on the other platforms, if you're used to the platforms. You couldn't know, I doubt you used the port.

Simon Sheehan

@OliverSalzburg yep, its true. I'm on nightly builds of firefox, so I see all the bugs haha

Oliver Salzburg

Also, they gave me good advice in the past

Simon Sheehan

@Ariane As a mac user, nope, never had to use the port :p

Ariane

1:24 AM

Wow, awesome. Can't delete the folder, it's being used by another program. Yet nothing on the task bar or notification area. Yup, poop port.

Simon Sheehan

@Ariane Open task manager and kill QT, likely

Oliver Salzburg

btw! That Minecraft server recuse action earlier was one the most pleasant "support calls" I ever handled on our site

In case any of you caught that

Ariane

@SimonSheehan Yeah I did that. It was daemon-something.exe though.

Simon Sheehan

@Ariane ah okay

@OliverSalzburg oh? what happened?

Ariane

" The minecraft folder is taking up 17GB of your 20GB quota on the volume. This is your issue "

Simon Sheehan

1:27 AM

Woah

Thats a big minecraft folder

Oliver Salzburg

@SimonSheehan I guess you had to be there. I just moved it to another room to not pollute this one

I deleted the room with all the gory details

Ariane

Gory details? o.o

Simon Sheehan

@OliverSalzburg damn haha

Q: How can I reimage my virtual server to not have size caps to individual directories?

As a prenote, I am extremely new to networking in general, and my knowledge is very minimal, even for things you guys would consider basic. I will try my best to keep up with any advice you have to offer. Before I describe my issue, let me go ahead and establish my hardware/software: Hardware ...

Q: Outlook Express 6 - How can I transfer newsgroup messages to a new PC

I use Outlook Express 6 to read newsgroups and had the messages from numerous servers downloaded on my PC. The PC became unbootable, but with all files intact, and now I want to migrate the existing messages to the new installation of OE6 on the replacement disk. I can't find any procedure for ...

migration outlook-express newsgroups

Outlook express.... wait what

Oliver Salzburg

As far as I understand the partitioning was set up by the service provider

@SimonSheehan Migrate to 1990.stackexchange.com?

Simon Sheehan

@OliverSalzburg Yea haha, im going to leave a comment for him telling him to upgrade :p

Oliver Salzburg

Seems like Mr. Synetech is on the job though

Simon Sheehan

1:33 AM

I thought outlook was dead to the world finally

guess i was very wrong

Ariane

Wow, qBT's interface's French translation isn't perfect, but I think it's actually better than µTorrent's.

Hi guys. Any OS expert here?

Simon Sheehan

@LewsTherin OS?

Lews Therin

Operating system?

Oliver Salzburg

@LewsTherin No, we are all idiots

Journeyman Geek

dedup set up ;)

Simon Sheehan

Well, which operating system?

Journeyman Geek

1:36 AM

@LewsTherin: I don't think anyone here's ever written an OS

as far as I know

Simon Sheehan

Then we can narrow down the experts

Journeyman Geek

hell, I know only one person who's written part of an os

Lews Therin

Well it shouldn't matter. As long as you know about pages and virtual addressing

And address translation

Oliver Salzburg

@LewsTherin Pages? Letter or A4?

Simon Sheehan

Shoot us the question, and we will try to help you :)

Journeyman Geek

1:37 AM

@Ariane: I'm partial to qbitorrent

Lews Therin

@OliverSalzburg Sigh... lame

Journeyman Geek

runs on almost anything

Ariane

@JourneymanGeek I do like it so far. It's like uTorrent minus ads and actually a little better.

Oliver Salzburg

@LewsTherin Don't blame me for your inaccurate statements

Lews Therin

Lol.. what? Why would you link OS pages to A4 pages?

So I know that memory/RAM is divided into pages. But when the OS allocates memory to a process's variables and shiz it could be all over the place. Now, virtual addressing gives the idea to the CPU that the process is stored in contiguous memory.. right?

Oliver Salzburg

1:40 AM

@LewsTherin I wouldn't. I was merely making a statement that should make it clear to you that your request was missing context

Journeyman Geek

@Ariane: yeah, and the boring backend stuff works well.

Lews Therin

@OliverSalzburg OK. We're digressing :)

Ariane

Lol, understood.

Oliver Salzburg

Also, I'm all about the paper

Journeyman Geek

Amusingly, I don't use that UI any more, I have it complied for my raspi

@OliverSalzburg: and dip pens.

Lews Therin

1:41 AM

So I don't understand how it gives the process the idea of contiguity though.

Journeyman Geek

speaking of which, oh snap, there's a new version of qbitorrent.

Lews Therin

Page table

A page table is the data structure used by a virtual memory system in a computer operating system to store the mapping between virtual addresses and physical addresses. Virtual addresses are those unique to the accessing process. Physical addresses are those unique to the hardware, i.e., RAM. Role of the page table In operating systems that use virtual memory, every process is given the impression that it is working with large, contiguous sections of memory. In reality, each process' memory may be dispersed across different areas of physical memory, or may have been paged out to a back...

Oliver Salzburg

@JourneymanGeek SURPRISE

Simon Sheehan

I just use utorrent on here

Lews Therin

I'm reading that. And part of it doesn't make sense

Oliver Salzburg

1:42 AM

...it didn't fix the issues you were hoping for

Journeyman Geek

@OliverSalzburg: I'll need to compile it

and thats a pain in the ass.

@OliverSalzburg: the main issue is a raspi is a pain in the tail to compile.

Ariane

Just wish it had that feature I've always wished for in a bittorrent client, where it would always use as few torrents as possible to fill the maximum possible bandwidth. Like, if I'm downloading 10 files and all 10 of them could fill my 1.8 MB/s of bandwidth, well, it would be nice if it would download them one by one at 1.8 MB/s instead of all at once at 180 KB/s.

Oliver Salzburg

@JourneymanGeek Indeed

Simon Sheehan

@OliverSalzburg Sadly your lovely style doesn't work so well on meta i feel :(

Lews Therin

Lulz, I get the feeling that I should be looking at another stackexchange site? :P

Oliver Salzburg

1:44 AM

@SimonSheehan The SU black theme?

Simon Sheehan

@OliverSalzburg yeah :(

Journeyman Geek

@Ariane: I think you can work around that with torrent queueing

Simon Sheehan

Oliver Salzburg

@SimonSheehan It's not set to

Simon Sheehan

Seems titles are a bit dark , i think

Ariane

1:45 AM

What's this passion with people customizing websites' looks? There was that guy who massacred mine a while ago. xD

Oliver Salzburg

@SimonSheehan I always only used ^http://superuser.com for the target

I actually disable the dark theme the other day :P

Journeyman Geek

not everyone likes pink

Oliver Salzburg

For the site that is. Chat is still dark

Simon Sheehan

@OliverSalzburg ahh haha

Journeyman Geek

or psycogeek's theme, which I refer to as high contrast MY EYES MY EYES.

Simon Sheehan

1:46 AM

I like this one because im often in the dark, burns my eyes less since im on SU a lot

Oliver Salzburg

Dark theme got too much to maintain, because the SE CSS/DOM is a fucking mess

The SU site theme works fine for most stuff. There is some moderator stuff that isn't adjusted though

Ariane

You're supposed to not be in the dark so you don't need dark interfaces to begin with, but anyway. I think I'm the only one who's normal according to ergonomical studies.

Oliver Salzburg

But it's over 1000 lines of CSS, so it's really hard to maintain properly

Simon Sheehan

@Ariane I like waking up in the middle of the night, so its for me haha

Journeyman Geek

lol

ergonomic studies pick the wrong sample then ;p

Oliver Salzburg

1:49 AM

If there was a proper CSS class structure, it would be a lot easier to maintain

Ariane

LESS?

Oliver Salzburg

@Ariane MORE!

Ariane

@SimonSheehan Sometimes I walk into class and the freaking lights are off, and everyone is looking at their screen. I just don't know how they can do that and not destroy their eyes. I can,t stand it for a long time, and I always end up going to turn the lights on. And guess what, once I was scolded and told to turn them back off. Illogical majority, pff.

Simon Sheehan

@Ariane Game developers and programmers like that... I can do it fine as long as i have glasses on and not contacts

Oliver Salzburg

@Ariane The screen is already giving off light

Ariane

1:53 AM

Even some of the most design-oriented ones do. I swear, I just don't understand the world, heh.

Journeyman Geek

The screen is all the light we need.

3

Ariane

@OliverSalzburg Of course, but looking at a luminous object in the dark is bad for you.

Oliver Salzburg

Why would you turn on more light that is interfering with the screen light?

Journeyman Geek

;p

@OliverSalzburg: I'm fond of bias lighting

I have a light behind my screen

Ariane

Because, basic logic. oo'

Oliver Salzburg

1:54 AM

Please don't give me any "it's bad for you" BS

Simon Sheehan

I have an apple on the back of my screen that gives off light onto the wall behind it :p

Ariane

Tell that to the scientists. Shrug (And to my eye/headaches and concentration problems whenever I try to use a screen in the dark.)

Oliver Salzburg

People are dying all over the world because they have shitty life conditions. I watch my screen with the light off thank you very much

OMG I may go blind and live in a comfy bed for the rest of my life!!!!

Simon Sheehan

@studiohack I feel you will appreciate this jalopnik.com/…

Ariane

Are you feeling okay? You seem really defensive somehow.

Oliver Salzburg

1:57 AM

@Ariane Are you referring to me?

Ariane

Yeah.

Oliver Salzburg

Sorry, I was under the impression of being offensive

Ariane

I'm not sure what the difference is precisely, but for real, are you okay?

Oliver Salzburg

@Ariane Well...

You know...

Actually...

The other day

I hit one of my toes on the frame of the door

and it really hurt

Like, seriously, it hurt like a motherfucker

That was really bad

Ariane

Why, my most sincere apologies for caring. >.>

Oliver Salzburg

2:00 AM

Other than that

I'm fine

Thank you

Journeyman Geek

@OliverSalzburg: my dad has a chair thats made of solid wood. I keep stubbing my feet on it, so I ended up putting big ~~grey~~ red foam door stoppers to cushion them. Funny thing is I've never stubbed my feet since ;p

@Ariane: I have VERY bad reading and computer habits

on the other hand, my prescription hasn't changed in a decade

Simon Sheehan

I have a ton of burns and cuts as the result of too many oil changes

Oliver Salzburg

@JourneymanGeek That's fascinating, but I'm sure you realize that I just used that BS to cook up some context

@OliverSalzburg How am I supposed to bring it up in TL?

at 3/10ths of a cent per hour, discounting traffic costs, assuming each instance only gets charged for the one hour, creating 1000 spot instances and having each one visit a SU site (probably using PhantomJS) would cost only $3 USD

decompression or compression?
