I think what he means is it sounds like the output of Flack overstow

Woah. 300% guys!

Like, you'll be CPU'ing at 3 times the speed of sound!

Also, I learned today that, when you put two NVMe drives into a RAID0, it's actually performing at the speed of light

No joke

These are truly marvelous times

@JourneymanGeek no idea why he pinged me though:-)

so stupid question, third week trying to solve my upnp problem. Have this switch I bought. It only seems to work if I hook it to my open-wrt router which dishes out a dhcp address (192.178.x.x) whatever address. Is it unrealistic to connect it to my modem, which has what appears to be dhcp capabilities and then assign my router the local subset? In other words I want to bypass my router but only for a couple devices (non-attackable)

The switch in its current configuration offers out addresses in the same subnet on behalf of the router (so does my extended configured as an access point) so everything is on the same subnet. But I was unable to locate the switch, when I connected the Cisco modem and connected the Internet port to the modem and connected my pc to one of the LAN devices

But it's current configuration doesn't get around my blocked ports, lol

And port forwarding refuses to work on open-wrt (tried many times and wouldn't cause my Windows Xbox app not working) out of ideas :-(

@Ramhound throw the xbox in a DMZ?

Tried, that just involves firewall forwarding all ports to one location on open-wrt but I can't get forwarding to work at all. It's possible my configuration is wrong, but something like, cantouseeme doesn't even work when I load up utorrent (with not torrents) but simplest program to use (already installed)

Was actually trying to do that with the switch :-$

But if the switch only works behind my firewall that doesn't help :-$

@allquixotic those are incredibly noisy

if you can, a proper split system is best

Oh hey, Microsoft made a thing to convert MBR disks to GPT without breaking anything

It might even work on the disk you're currently booted into? Unclear

Holly 🐮

Well Microsoft is going to convert people to GPT eventually.... or require it they don't make a tool like that without a plan

Figures

I had a 3TB MBR for years wanted GPT for that entire time, difficult or risky, that tool would have been nixe.

Can't decide between going to F&F or waiting till tomorrow :$ no work tomorrow (yeah me)

Does the t420 thinkpads suppprt sata 3 6gb sec in the hard drive bay?

Ping me thanks. Found conflicting stuff on google

@William probably

How would I test it

Because I have a t420 and a sata 3 ssd in it

See what speccy says what revision of SATA is being used

or look up the specifications of the laptop

Or do a benchmark

Testing it sounds easier lol black magic is what they use right?

I could probably look at what year did sata 3 become mainstream wouldn't be perfect but would be a himt

@William anything newer than Sandy bridge should support it.

Or run a program and it tells you in less than 5 seconds

😜

Yeah my laptop just died on phone. Will check when I a find place to charge

Score!

"That's the reason why I asked you to describe your scenario. Consoles like Xbox & Playstation are not working with IGDv2 and you will need to compile miniupnpd without IGDv2 support."

Figured out why upnp isn't working :-)

quack

@William actually. did you try googling it? forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-T400-T500-and-newer-T/…

Yeah I saw something like that I'm assuming it is until I test it

When reading from an SSH session using PuTTY (plink), I keep seeing the escape code ESC]0;. Does anyone here know what that means? I could understand an opening bracket, but have never seen a closing one used in an escape sequence.

@WasabiFan I have no idea, but that smells like something for the main site.

OK, thanks for the sanity check; it seemed like it might be something obvious that I'm just too oblivious to understand.

I have a suspicion that it's a code for setting the title, but can't find any reference for it :(

or some odd codespace thing, which often happens with putty and windows.

@WasabiFan you could use windows subsystem for Linux if on w10 if you want it to disappear

Haha, rubber ducky method FTW :D tldp.org/HOWTO/Xterm-Title-3.html

assuming he's on windows 10, and that's a lot better on creator

lol

@WasabiFan that's what I actually Hope happens for people asking questions in here ;)

@William I'm trying to stream from the session for an app I am writing, so I wanted to understand it to make sure I wasn't blindly deleting content. It looks like I need to kill things between that escape code and BEL.

though

he has a point...

why plink?

I am writing a script (in Node.js) in which I want to sustain an SSH connection and expose the terminal to a user. Plink seemed the best option for Windows.

Node is aweosme imo

I want to create a node shell at some point

@Dog techreport.com/news/31739/…

eh @jokerdino @HackToHell புத்தாண்டு வாழ்த்துக்கள்

;p

(Tamil new year today. for those who are wondering what the odd script says - it says happy new year...)

@BenN Huh. It does bootloader conversion too, ince.

MBR to GPT is easy

Windows BIOS to UEFI boot is hard

@Bob I appear to have malfunctioning

@Dog ?

@JourneymanGeek holy shit back from the annals of vaporware

> It can even do 85.8% of the lofty Rec.2020 space.

That's not all thatimpressi ve

@Bob :-(

lol

@Dog I'm confused again

yay, repcap

or is that nay, repcap?

Hmm $1500 cheaper than originally anticipated but also dropped 120hz :-(

@Bob OLA REPCAP!

Shame it's displayport 1.2 only. Ffs.

Now to wait for the second gen? Then again it doesn't say it doesn't do 120hz

Just not at 4K

@JourneymanGeek nandri and same to you !

Afghanistan.

All I see is a bunch of squares

might be fonts

you should see a congaline of snakes with arms dancing.

@Bob wtf?

@JourneymanGeek :)

There's a few variations.

Here's a shorter one, same character: ふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふ‌​ふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふふ

@JourneymanGeek by the way, I didn't get the same thing.

It has been fully renovated and it has been fully renovated and it has been fully renovated and it has been fully renovated and it has been fully renovated and it has 5 floors.

odd

hey guys

hi

ooo happy easter to those who dance.

Dog switches to firefox.... and is never seen again?

lol

its also good friday I suppose

yah

My dads birthday tomorrow too

@Bob How... does that work?

@JourneymanGeek Oh, apparently today is also the Bengali new year

@Rahul2001 It doesn't :P

@satibel So you're saying it has been fully renovated?

Man, Riverdale is gooood.

@Rahul2001 happy new year to you too then ;p

@JourneymanGeek :-)

@JourneymanGeek so uh, you know the low-end online.net dedis?

I just found an offer for dual Opteron 248 at $10/month :P

Single core, ~2003 Opteron... and single-thread passmark similar to the Avoton

...at 90W each CPU

they've gotta be losing money on power O_O

0_0

lol

link?

I must say I am somewhat tempted at that price

@JourneymanGeek wholesaleinternet.net/dedicated it's the one with somewhat questionable (6-9Mbps) upstream :P

this needs huge clean up :/

even then it's a terrible question :(

@Bob somehow that provider's webpage gives me bad vibes ;p

@JourneymanGeek lol. they're actually not that bad

more responsive than ovh!

lol

@Bob No favicon on website == RED ALERT!

also, just picked up dishonoured 2 at 50% off ._.

@Rahul2001 wat

lol

I have never used favicon presence as an indicator of trustworthiness

Lol, it was a joke

But FB like button on header? o_O

eh, they're the ones I've used for a couple years

Also, no mobile webpage

only moving to ovh because more ips

@Rahul2001 so?

I prefer sites that are relatively minimal and mobile browsers handle them fine

most dedicated mobile sites are laggy nonfunctional piles of shit

@Bob s/mobile //

the web is a steaming pile of junk mostly

sadness and stuff.

@Bob Mine is super mobile-friendly. Not laggy, and not a pile of shit... :P

@Rahul2001 the fact that it's absed on wordpress refutes at least two of those :P

@Bob It is not based on WP, actually

hm? oh, did I mix it up with someone else? o.O

I hate WordPress.

ah, @JourneymanGeek was the one with wordpress :P

which reminds me, I need to set up Ghost

again

@Bob I use HTMLy. It's super simple and lightweight.

using minimal server specs. With 512MB of RAM or even less

lol

512Mb isn't minimal

@Rahul2001 ...the grammar massacre in the first sentence -_-

It looks interesting, but also unpolished :P

@Bob Yeah, it is.

> If you self host: You'll start with a base cost of around $20/month for a VPS

!!no

nope

I have a 2Tb vps, £7/mo

Fun fact: I'm pretty sure I got all the $x/year VPSs I have via a link @Bob posted way back

o.O

LEB?

Heh, yup :D

ah yea

A happy combination of having nothing that needs more than the bare minimum and being quite content to migrate after a year when the deal expires

'cheap but unreliable and miiiight randomly disappear'

@bertieb most aren't $x for the first year, they're $x/yr perpetually

Heh, yeah

for as long as the company lasts

Which is the service level I'm happy with!

I've had at least one increase

@bertieb yea, that's rare

And another increase because the company disappeared (was bought out)

anyway, I switched to proper dedis a while back :P

Fair enough!

if you were to ask for a recommendation now, I'd say avoid openvz

Stupidly, I was paying £ridiculous/month for a dedi that I didn't really need (dated back to many moons ago)

it's usually on really old and basically unmaintained kernels

KVM is still alright, but a bit pricier

@bertieb what's 'ridiculous'? :P

@Bob £30ish for peanuts of a spec

Horrible expensive, but it was for client stuff so it kept going for years

Probably started in ~2004/2005 and migrated once during that time

Hence peanuts spec

ah

It kinda made sense at the time

@Bob WordPress mostly works :p

Been toying with switching tho

yaaaaaaawn

So dead at work today.

@JourneymanGeek Happy new year :)

lol

My mom would get upset if 1) I did it early 2) did it in anything but tamil ;p

இனிய புத்தாண்டு வாழ்த்துகள்.

Better to type it in Tamil.

It's Read-Only Friday!!!

if ever there were a valid reason to VTC "Unclear what you're asking", that post exemplifies it

Well not any more

what is this cultural phenomenon? is it just laziness? wanting others to do your thinking for you? this question hits the PhantomJS mailing list; subject: "How to read the phantomjs source code?"

lol

@allquixotic vaguely cultural

there's the follow-up question; now tell me, @JourneymanGeek, I know you're not a programmer, but what would you do if you want to know what QString, QVariant or QMap is from, as far as "framework or library"?

Its... complicated

might you.... I don't know.... google it?

@allquixotic fucking google it.

DING DING DING!!!! WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!!

What's Google??

Actually these guys probably have no idea how to synthesise an answer from multiple sources too

@allquixotic a lot of these guys arn't programmers cause they love coding

they're programmers cause its a respectable profession

they're rapidly helping to ensure it's not

and chances are many of them mugged their way through the sort of outdated education that @Rahul2001 and others complain about ;p

@allquixotic kinda sorta

its probably made worse by multiple factors

and there's enough good rockstar devs that most people see those and not the sweatshop crowds

errm

'spread balloon knot' ?

wut

That... I do not want to google.

yeah

there's an image linki n the question

@djsmiley2k I completely missed that on first readthru

i didn't want to click as at work.

Its clean

It's safe

@bertieb this is why I win reviews :D

I took that hit for the team

if i was at home i'd happily click

kinda tempted to delete it actually

urgh

do i really want to call xls2csv from php o_O

No

@djsmiley2k 1 more rep!

oh mah god.

@Twisty Also hi,

i've commented on ur stuff I think o_O

@djsmiley2k you have my permission to party like you have 1999

Who did that! xD

Someone just upvoted my psu answer. xD

@djsmiley2k I just had to find something of yours to upvote

@djsmiley2k You keep filling up the Suggested Edit queue!!! :)

@Twisty You say "filling up", I say "Helping me get to Steward" :P

That's a much better perspective

lol

@Twisty No he doesn't - all the review queues are empty for the first time in living memory :)

I remember when they were empty

a very long time ago

@DavidPostill First time I've ever seen it. What happened to those 1000 questions in the Close queue anyway? I've been wondering that...

@Twisty moderator election effect

;p

Actually I was suprised we didn't get more flags too

\o/

(some candidates in the election I stood in tried to inflate badge and other counts)

How?

The most recent election was downright boring ;)

@Twisty people basically going nuts on meta, queues and flagging

This election... I think people just went "ooh, big queues"

Well fuck

@JourneymanGeek hehe

@Twisty no no no I don't

I add about 3 items / 2 hours

if the queue is filling up that quickly then we need to keep me over 2k ;)

@djsmiley2k Yeah, filling up might be an overstatement. I'll miss seeing your edits in the queue. But now I'll see your avatar in the recent reviews list. That'll be good.

@Twisty you'll still see them i believe?

Only mods skip the queue, or so I'm told.

@djsmiley2k Not sure what you mean? See what?

ok wtf

this printer had 2 jobs on it (not the queue, on the actual device) showing 'deleting'

they wouldn't go away, we powered the device off for an hour

put it back on

the job status changes to 'decomposing'

WTF?!

congrats @DavidPostill

@AndyK What for? ;p

@DavidPostill maybe he finally noticed you're a little blue? ;p

for being elected!

hmmm

ubuntu server, no mimetype \o/

@MaxVernon thx

@allquixotic again?!

@Bob I think he's quoting TFM

oh

hm. I just broke a glass screen protector for my watch

not sure if that's good or bad

another one?!

o.O

just the screen protector, not the screen

I guess it worked as designed, it was cheap and I have a spare.

also, its slightly too large ;p

so it had a tiny bit of a lip around the glass

My tempered glass screen protector lasted all of 3 days before it got a crack

Chip

oh, this broke across

than peeled off.

too large would be an issue, yes

TWSS

something like 2mm too wide.

z\xzxzxxcdd zxcd zxcd zxcd zxcdzxcdzxcdzxcdzxcdzxcdzxczxxd

yes, indeed

is that's what's wrong with your keyboard then?

that's a very good point

hmmm @dog and @Bob can one of you colour in your gravatar?

it's hard to distingush between you at a glaance :(

@djsmiley2k @allquixotic has one too.

@djsmiley2k and I thought theirs was closer to @allquixotic's -_-

I'll change mine in a couple days

ok :D

i just see a small white box with some black in it

you both have 3 letter names

:/

^ possibly my next one

how did I get this system to curl out to the net previously and now it doesn't work :/

hmmmmmmm $HTTP_PROXY is empty

it always thinks it's not a csv.

probably because CSV doesn't have a magic number

but the php docs say this works

the mimetype command works - 'text/csv'

@djsmiley2k But what about @allquixotic and that other guy with the thunderstorm

dunno

not noticed them :P

i just looked at you two and couldn't tell the difference -_-;;;

mah eyes r bad

this screen is bad

@djsmiley2k chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/118/2017/4/12

@allquixotic's names long enough that it instantly stands out

Ignore me if you don't care.

Speaking of Wordpress (earlier); I have a 1.3Gb wp_posts table, which seems to be filled with Jetpack JSON requests

I don't even

@bertieb That's because you are odd ;p

@DavidPostill I think remember having issues with Jetpack request in the past, and doing <something> to try and track the problem down I see what you did there :P

@bertieb drop table 'wp_posts'; ?

@djsmiley2k I'll do that right after I rm -rf / :P

:D

don';t forget --no-preserve-root

Naha, yeah, it was an earlier debugging thing

I smell a DELETE FROM ... WHERE coming up

application/octet-stream; charset=binary

welp

that's what php see's my csv file as o_O

yet mimetype says it's correctly text/csv

Huh; still 1.3G

You win this round, Wordpress

you spelt the where wrong ://

How do I escape < and > in non-code text?
