Does anyone happen to know if there is a way to get mount -a to mount something twice in fstab?
I'm trying to mount two different subvolumes on my btrfs system
oops. It works :V
 
quack?
 
Ell
@JourneymanGeek More like a heisenbug
 
I'm uncertain what you mean ;p
 
12:36 AM
How old are you people?
 
Ell
1:10 AM
@qasdfdsaq How old are you? :O
 
Over 9000
 
Somewhat over 217 dog years :p
I think.
 
1:34 AM
just happened
 
Dumps?
 
@allquixotic "This error has been linked to excessive paged pool usage and may occur due to user-mode graphics drivers crossing over and passing bad data to the kernel code." :(
 
@bwDraco none
 
2:01 AM
:(
 
Ell
night folks :)
 
didn't have enough pagefile for dumps apparently
fixed
 
Oh wow thats a nice fancy error message
Blue screen of sadness :(
 
Someone teach me how to edit the blue screen into an endless dancing-dolphin .SWF (with no error code)
That would be nice

Q: How to select grub entry via PS2 port?

Mike XuWe want to output the grub entry to serial port and select the grub entry on another machine via serial port. We have two machines. For the machine with built-in serial port, we followed the instruction at [1] and successfully configured the grub and can select the grub entry from a remote ma...

I'd love to ask what he's actually trying to do.
 
sounds like binding serial ports across devices just reading that
by just reading that*
but still funny to read
After reading the actual question, I cant stop laughing.
Im really confused, I'm thinking he may be confusing playstation 2 port with an PS2 port possibly
Playstation Linux ;)
 
2:42 AM
is a PS/2 port even bidirectional?
and modern systems still have headers

openSUSE Leap 42.1 is here!
Deploying the upgrade on my old laptop. 1.08 GB to download...
1,937 packages to download, my god...
I plan to deploy the upgrade on my production server in a few weeks or so.
It helps that we finally upgraded our Internet connection...
 
4:20 AM
@JourneymanGeek push 2 buttons wrong, move to fast to say ok, and "free file sync" will fully replace (argg) everything as selected, but it does provide a "ya know thatas a lot of changes" final requester you then ignore cause you seen it to many times.
then use some crapppy recovery software to recover only the first cluster , of a fargmented mess drive, and your all set.
. . . to format it and start again.
 
openSUSE Leap is a very special system. It's built on an enterprise core (SUSE Linux Enterprise, which had most of its source code released several months ago), but unlike CentOS, it ships with a large library of community-maintained packages.
It's the best of both worlds, unlike any other distribution out there.
 
so the answer to the question is. you screwed up, did you learn your lesson. it is possible some non-free high quality forensic software could get those 2% of files you have not yet overwritten off. try 3 backups next time , or observe VERY carefully everything that will occur before hittting the button.
 
4:39 AM
@bwDraco Nice, I've been wanting something like that for a long time
If it uses systemd and has stable kernel updates available from KernelCare, it might make a great base system for a dedi
 
> openSUSE Leap 42.1 is full of virtualization solutions. QEMU 2.3.1, VirtualBox 5.0.6 and Docker 1.8.2 makes openSUSE Leap 42.1 a perfect base system to distribute applications. Set up is easy with YaST, so you’ll be able deploy solutions quickly and easily. GNOME boxes, virt-manager, and virsh are also useful to sysadmins using openSUSE.
Precisely what you need.
 
@Psycogeek: and literature on file recovery for SSDs is entirely clear as mud.
 
@bwDraco heh, I need containers, but OpenSUSE is usually pretty good with AppArmor; maybe they'll include the lxd patch soon
machinery-project.org is pretty damn cool
^^ That's a fairly important talk for an LXD user like me, so I'm going to be trying to attend
 
5:05 AM
@JourneymanGeek oh yea proper trim and garbage cleanup of a SSD doesnt leave psudo deleted files laying around.
I keep forgetting that, is Not a HD.
 
@Psycogeek: There's a paper that says the opposite too.
 
that data you were trying to keep secret , will be hanging out in worn cells, data that you wanted to get back though, will be gone :-)
when they were 64gig drives and all , it was a big joke to even have multiple backups of that and your flash chips and all tossed on a 1T drive. now that it IS the 1T drive :-) And before it was back it up a lot because it IS going to fail. so there is still Back it up because undelete recovery may very well be much harder.
almost might make a person turn thier trashcan back on :-)
there are 3rd party programs that vastly extend the functinality of a recycle bin, where they versioned stuff, and even "recycled" parts and pieces in updating and overwrite the same operations and all. I used one for some time, but the complexity of all the stuff it would cling to was too high to want to deal with.
 
Bob
5:23 AM
Yay, fuse holders arrived
Now where did I put that soldering iron...
 
100 fuses, 100 fuse holders, one has to wonder what (mad scientist) bob is doing to his router.
 
MOAR POWER!
@Bob ^
this might be useful for you to know ;p
 
"subpar USB Type-C cables" good luck fining the par ones, i think they stole all the copper and sent it to china.
Benson Leung is going to have fun writing up 99 one star reviews.
 
Bob
@JourneymanGeek Not that useful, TBH. I've already found the good cables :P
Monoprice has a nice high (low?) gauge but shoddy connectors.
Anker is good.
Tronsmart is just as good but much cheaper and ships to Aus.
@Psycogeek s/router/Pebble charging cable/
(I got some cheap replacements, it only charges at some 100mA anyway, but the pins stick out too far and are at risk of shorting. Gonna splice a fuse into it.)
 
5:48 AM
@Bob: on USB 3?
 
Rebooting the laptop to complete the openSUSE Leap 42.1 upgrade.
...and there you have it!
(Will have some screenshots of the Xfce desktop in a bit.)
 
@Psycogeek very interesting reading, thanks for posting that!
oh, I see that JMG posted it earlier
thanks anyways
 
@allquixotic :)
(I'm not yet a cable snob)
 
6:08 AM
i have more bad usb cables than things to connect them to.
 
how the fuck do I get a job, and move the hell out
im sick of this house and this area
 
hoof-it , go from business to business begging.
 
its too hard and I cant be bothered anymore
 
@RecycleBin: kickass resume and proper targetting.
(I had help with the former. I do the latter like a chess boxer)
 
I dunno if I should bother
 
6:11 AM
 
supporting yourself is hard
 
then it is off to college with you where you will spend 40 days and nights getting drunk, and leaving with a piece of paper making you 2% more qualified in reality and 200% more qualified on paper.
 
especically with paying bills bills bills
 
@bwDraco nice looks like windows 3.1
 
the goverment is shit, the edication system is shit
its not that im spoiled that I cba to support myself
 
6:16 AM
no denying that, so that just leaves being the one person who isnt.
 
I cant handle any more shit
thats what it is

Q: As and when the lab top is open it automatically type '1111111111111111'.

Tashi ZangpoI am using acer laptop with window 7 basic. As and when it is on and window is displayed, it starts to type '11111111111111111' without any stop. Any body with the solution.

Type 0s really fast, and your all set for binary
 
the job center put me in a job that was innapropiate, so why fucking bother
to get stressed cus some bastards put me in the wrong job that im failing at
there also shit!
 
not good at stripping at a bar?
the make-up job at the morgue didnt work out?
 
no cus some shit will happnen then too
in this stupid hellhole
 
6:29 AM
detroit?
 
well what other hellholes are there? Washington DC?
 
im wasting my time here arnt I...
 
antarctica ?
 
bye
 
6:32 AM
you cant really leave, the recycle bin has a restore option.
 
I cant be deleted of course
 
nope comes right back after a boot.
 
how do I lower this android brightness beyond the system default
 
they use "overlays" to do it, i dislike them, because it is an effort for the processing. Vellis autobrightness (for example) has option for it, quite a few other programs. as there is no ability to turn down the light beyond how it was made.
 
I am just a space on the HDD of bits and even smashing the hdd does not mean im, deleted
id be recycled into some other metal object
if the drive was destroyed
 
6:40 AM
@RecycleBin: I sold real estate.
Was terrible at it, but I learnt a few useful lessons.
 
well I worked in a call centre getting pissed about for something that wasnt my fault
 
Bob
@JourneymanGeek Anker and Tronsmart (and probably Monoprice) manufacture type-C cables
 
on top of everything else so No Im done
 
Bob
ok time to test my frankencable
 
IM SICK OF BEING STRESSED
 
6:43 AM
@RecycleBin: Breathe
I lost my job cause my customers were outsourced to canada
CANADA
 
Bob
Test: successful! :D
 
call center , any one of them is stress. either peoples problems, or harping on people that dont want to friking talk to you to begin with. Is a job, not a life :-)
 
Bob
Charges Pebble normally.
Fuse blew when I tested an intentional short.
 
so the job centre were shit, the job was shit, my counceller was shit, my health is shit my family is shit
the government only care about wealthy people
 
@Bob That's really bad design. It should trip some form of overload protection in the charger, not blow a fuse. This isn't a high-power device.
 
6:48 AM
why am I on this planet
 
So... there was a bunch of really hot gas...
 
Bob
@bwDraco ...that's intentional design on my part.
 
With every USB charger I've used, a short or overload will cause the port to temporarily stop supplying power. There should be no need for a fuse, this can be done in an entirely solid-state fashion.
@Bob What was the issue you experienced?
 
I cant find a damn reason
 
Bob
@bwDraco I'll explain later. Need to clean up.
 
6:49 AM
my friends are shit
education is not very good
 
@RecycleBin: When life gives you a load of shit...
 
these are facts
 
You can either complain about the smell or go gardening.
 
gardening for more shit
thats guarenteed
 
You can grow whatever the hell you want.
 
6:51 AM
we no I cant
 
sure you can
 
@RecycleBin soft ice cream, video games , chockolate , heck the other 999thousand species have no such thing and you dont see them worrying about it
 
I'm not saying everything will be perfect
 
not true
 
Am I saying everything will be perfect?
I don't think I am
 
6:52 AM
no it will be far from it
 
So, whatchagoing to do about it?
 
and I cant be bothered anymore
 
That's a dangerous thing.
What would you want to do with your life?
 
live in my own house, and get a job in what I actually worked hard for
but that wont happnen
 
What did you work hard for?
 
6:57 AM
having a career in my subject
instead of having a job I HATE
 
What's your subject?
 
music
 
Bob
@bwDraco There's issues with PTCs.
I decided a while ago to not buy cheap USB cables anymore.
The knockoff Pebble charging cable was an exception.
Proprietary cable design => difficult to source a high-quality one. And the low charging current (see above re: ~100mA) means cable quality doesn't really matter.
However, there was a problem: the charging pins stick out a bit too far, and the magnets mean it gets attracted to nearby metal surfaces.
Say, a pair of scissors. Oh, look, the scissors bridge the charging pins!
Annnnnd we have a short.
Now, I mentioned above that this is a cheap cable. The conductors are quite thin, and won't carry a high current.
My charger can and will supply 2A.
Do you see the problem here?
Overload protection or not, it won't trip because the cable resistance is too high to draw a high enough current.
It will, however, cause a significant amount of heating. 1A is actually a rather high current, especially if the short goes unnoticed for a while.
I basically had three options: go hunt for a better cable (rather pricey and difficult), or install a fuse (PTC or glass tube).
Looked at PTC fuses first, but they're also relatively expensive, somewhat hard to source, and have issues with performance degradation over time.
Glass tube ended up being easiest.
Also, a sufficiently high current will permanently blow a PTC anyway.
(That's another reason I preferred to add my own fuse: sure, chargers have overload protection, but said protection does not always reset. Boom, dead charger. That's also expensive.)
 
fuse is fast and non resettable
 
Bob
@Psycogeek Traditional fuses, yea. PTCs are resettable if the current isn't too much higher than the trip current.
 
7:12 AM
i use some auto thermal breakers on some stuff, and they just turn right back on once they cool again. I think the best resettable was the "curcuit breaker" with the pop out and all, but they still take heating before they go.

A: How to unwrap a text in Microsoft Word?

Xen2050Can't "Find and Replace" search for the newline character (looks like a different "P"?), and only replace all those with nothing on a selection of text? No macro required? Or Find repeatedly & then delete (with delete key) only through a selection of text?

I prefer just killing people who put linefeeds at the ends of lines in a word processing program , actually solves the problem for much longer :-) I hate when you do that.
"look the printer screwed up the whole document" , uh no it was the typer.
and "tabs are not margins"
 
is it?
 
@JourneymanGeek Click through the link in the answer (preferably in a private/incognito window) and you'll know.
It's SpyHunter again.
 
ahh
ok
gone
 
8:49 AM
superuser.com/questions/996329/… dont you "stop" people from getting on your wifi by using passwords? breeching thier privacy , would that ever be deemed illegal when they are using your stuff?
 
why... do people type... like this...
 
space bar is broken?
 
wouldn'titthenbemorelikethis...?
 
sigh
ELLIPSE ABUSE.
Also, asking for an answer via email.
 
oh.yes,your.right...I.guess.it.would.
 
Bob
8:55 AM
@Leathe I do something similar in chat... though not mid-sentence
mostly to show train of thought? shrug
could probably use a semicolon instead. meh.
 
it is just wrong on so many counts, but somehow i feel he deserves an explaination. like , dont be an idiot , protect your wifi, and if you want peoples personal info write up a 4 page pile of leagalese trash and have them agree to it. you get no help from us for your wicked ways. and BTW your e-mail just got robotted by 5000 spammers.
Have A Nice Day.
 
@Bob I understand using it in chat, but that question had an excessive amount of ellipsis :P
 
9:11 AM
@JourneymanGeek <3
 
At least use … instead of ...!
 
Bob
@OliverSalzburg Actually, no.
Unless it's an actual publication, please don't use … -_-
 
Bob
same goes for "smart braces"
Yea, typographically correct.
Also wreaks havoc with parsers.
And doesn't even render properly on all devices.
Actually, debatable if it's even typographically correct.
 
9:13 AM
I always use … instead of ... and I have not yet had any problems with it
 
Bob
> the Chicago Manual of Style recommends that an ellipsis be formed by typing three periods, each with a space on both sides
 
If I remember correctly, OSX will even automatically replace one with the other while typing
And, actually I don't even care and was just making a joke :P
 
Bob
@OliverSalzburg If the OS is doing the replacement, the OS is broken
 
So like this . . . then?
 
Bob
@Leathe Yea, that's apparently what that particular style guide recommends.
 
9:15 AM
@Bob I am not aware of any OS that isn't broken
 
Bob
@OliverSalzburg Broken with regards to text input*
 
Tough call ;D
 
Bob
(Side note, MS Word does the same replacement. But that's more okay because the context is a word processor. Random replacements of ... everywhere in the OS? Hell no.)
 
I suppose . . . is more visually appealing than ...
 
And then are smart quotes :/
 
9:16 AM
I prefer C<
 
I also think → is nicer than ->. There! I said it!
 
Bob
The problem with an OS modifying input as you type is the OS doesn't know the context. For example, many programming languages use ... to indicate a variadic function.
 
@Bob Well, you can probably disable it by calling [OSX setWeirdInputHandling weirdInputHandling:false]
 
@OliverSalzburg imo that depends on the font you use :b
 
Bob
@DavidPostill Whoops, that's what I mean above. wtf are "smart braces"? lol
 
9:20 AM
@Bob {
 
What makes them smart :I
 
Or even smart bracket braces
 
Which reminds me of github.com/reinderien/mimic yet again
 
Bob
@Leathe They're usually pretty dumb. Depends on the context the replacement happens in.
 
"Smart bracket braces can mean two different devices, braces which do not require elastics or braces designed at the University of Freiburg in Germany where sensors are mounted onto the teeth." - built in sensors!
 
9:23 AM
Put in all the sensors!
 
Put the sensors in all!
 
9:53 AM
and led lights too
 
you just have to have the right dentist
this guy is great. Although this pic might be NSFW :-)
 
10:08 AM
in kabul food bites you
 
Stupid question, but how can I install the trial of MS Project 2013? I have found my license but no CD. I'm trying to download the trial, but when I do, I keep getting MS Project Server Accounts
Sod off clippy!!!
I've already searched on SU
 
That's the link
But it lies to us
When I actually try to run it, it asks for me a server address/account details ?!?
 
And the application installed is called MS Project Server Account (or similar)
 
10:16 AM
wierd
 
Research shows it supposed have something to do with Sharepoint
Stupid question, but would the serial be the issue? The serial is part of the MSDN I have
I guess I could try the trial and see....
as the trial has a different serial
Right, I'm off to ask IT for help
despite it being a home project
 
clippy is my friend
and rover
 
lol nice nickname
 
wait
If you have MSDN, why not download it from there?
 
10:21 AM
do you really want to know... ready for this..... because IT have updated the security and we're blocked :)
 
I had already copied the serial number for..... back up.... .purposes
 
Another connection?
 
I don't think they will for me...
 
bloody outsourced admins
 
10:22 AM
They hope it will be fixed over weekend so Monday all OK
emails still work, it's just all websites are blcoked
3G / 4G is ok
so my personal laptop is currently tethered to my mobile
but I don't want to download that much via my limited connection
 
can you SSH tunnel?
 
the word SSH makes my insides feel weird
 
I don't know how... :S
OK, software recommendation. IN MS project, we can set a resource, which means their working hours per week and cost.
That'st he only thing I need from project. 1 resouce, just to add the hours of work per week so when I plot all projects I can see how many hours i need to work to finish task by a certain time
Is there any alternative
 
Ledger book (worked for the other 50 years)
 
lol
 
10:32 AM
does it ... If I were to then decide to work an extra hour per week, it would automatically re-calculate
 
arrays?
 
100 years ago nobody ever worked overtime, so we cant be sure that anything of that type was ever tested :-)
 
im best at recycling stuff rather than MS project tbh
 
if you have a ledger and a tornado comes by , it get stored in the cloud for free.
(other than that it rarely gets lost or deleted)
