@Hennes shrug
I skipped
 
It is amazing that you need to edit the registry quite a lot as a mere mortal user when settings up your profile on a new computer.
 
@Hennes HKCU = ~/.gnome2/settings/blah? ;p
hkey current user is what it is though
 
it's not HCU tho is it?, it's HKCU?
 
HKCU is the normal abbreviation
 
Aye.
 
6:17 PM
HKU is a different key, HKEY_USERS, but HCU doesn't mean anything as far as I know
 
ok so my phone has finally booted again
it's going through 'preparing apps'
Doesn't that normally happen after an upgrade?!
But I'm running cyanogenmod... hwo did it upgrade o_O
or did I accidently delete the cache or something?
 
@djsmiley2k I have a CM on an old HP Touchpad and it always says "android is upgrading" on boot....
 
This only started happening today
first the power got dodgy, or so I thought
but now I think it was just not showing anything on the screen while 'updating'
 
You can use logcat to find out what it's doing
 
If I was at home, yus
it's preparing sheets, 76 of 119 apps... right now
 
6:27 PM
@djsmiley2k right, it's HKEY_CURRENT_USER in the C++ code constants somewhere
Hive Key
 
preparing sheets, app 118 out of 119. Out of power. Shutting down.
Never happened to me, but I am always scared that it might happen/
 
Windows Registry is just a filesystem with weird terminology
Hive = drive or mount point
Key = directory or folder
most of the default top level keys except for HKLM are symlinks, IIRC
HKCR (HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT) is HKLM\something\Classes, where 'something' might be SOFTWARE but I forgot
@djsmiley2k is going to get afraid of asking questions in here when I write a page every time
 
@Hennes this is the first time I've actively seen it doing anything
the other times it booted to the unlock screen, then the screen went black and nothing.
107 of 119
 
Only 12 more to go
 
119...
 
6:35 PM
120/119
121/119
 
@Hennes :D
 
...
Reminds me of games where I scored 501 out of a maximum of 500 points
 
hehe
Once did that on a test, amusingly, my dad did the same thing when he was a school.
 
Bool, bool; I'm a school. I said bool-bool I'm a school.
 
@allquixotic ...of fish?
 
6:39 PM
NO!
>
 
@allquixotic It's a merge of the HKLM version and the HKCU version
It gets super dicey when programs write the HKCR; where the change actually goes is governed by a complex set of rules
 
Waves. Bed time.
 
Night
 
@Hennes You sleep on the waves? OH NOES ANOTHER FISH!
 
Knish, knish. I'm a fish. I said knish-knish I'm a fish.
 
6:44 PM
kar, kar, give me a star, I said kar-kar, givva star!
 
Hail, hail, I'm a whale
 
 
mah phones still alive.
 
@djsmiley2k asks for a star -> the sun comes here and boils every lifeform on Earth's skin off before destroying the planet
 
I ACCIDENTLY THE SOLAR SYSTEM!
 
6:46 PM
I am your solar system!

Q: Asus eee password reset

PreosoI have an Asus Eee, the operating system is Linux based. I forgot the password but want to keep all the files. I found this http://blog.another-d-mention.ro/misc/eee-pc/reset-system-password-for-eeepc/ Do you believe every model of a linux version has BusyBox, the commands should work for every...

spammer?
 
@djsmiley2k possibly but the link doesn't strike me as an attack page, albeit outdated
 
I just figured they were a blogger wanting some views
 
8:12 PM
HAPPY INTERNATIONAL CAPS LOCK DAY!
5
Caps Lock is a button on a computer keyboard that, when pressed, causes all letters to be generated in capitals until deactivated. It is located in the position of a similar Shift lock key (and sometimes a Ctrl key) found in some other keyboard layouts. It is usually a toggle key: each press reverses its action. Exactly what Caps Lock does depends on the operating system and driver, and the keyboard layout implemented. On non-IBM PC-compatible computers it may also depend on the keyboard hardware. Usually the effect is the same as pressing keys with the shift key depressed; letters are capitalised...
 
lol so this is fun.
got annoyed with DHCP clients not setting their IP to their DNS when it changes
eventually went 'screw it, I'll try and log in to DC1...
and i'm in.
Now, how can I tell if a DNS record was created by the DHCP server or not?
 
Is this Windows DHCP and DNS?
 
yup
I see
if it's static there's no timestamp
So why on earth is it not updating with the new IP I wonder...
 
Are all clients doing this, or only some?
 
8:36 PM
only some
I think updates from this network are blocked or something
but if it's a 'new' ip, it works
 
I think there's a checkbox in the network settings of the client that says "register this connection's address in DNS" or something along those lines
 
yup
that's enabled
i even tried disabling it and re-enablign it
It's almost like, it can't change the ip if it didn't originate from that network
this is the 2nd laptop we've had this issue with - it's when a laptop has been used out on the estate... then can't be connected internally... :/
 
Might make a good SF question
Alas, I do not know the answer :/
 
8:55 PM
ugh the neighbours are back to parking terribly
 
I park normally next to people that park terribly... it's funny when someone can't get in their car.
 
sadly they have parked so badly that i can't get my car into the bay to do that
 
9:22 PM
@MichaelFrank yup
@Burgi accidently nudge em?
like when people park in the parent + child space with no kid
i accidently park my car close
accidently smash my door into theirs
whoops, srry, c%£%wombles.
 
9:47 PM
@djsmiley2k LOL
UNFORTUNATELY I'M NOT PROGRAMMING IN SQL OR COBOL TODAY; MY GROOVY/JAVA EDITOR DOESN'T LIKE THIS CODE :(
PUBLIC CLASS FOO { INT X; INT Y; PUBLIC STATIC VOID MAIN(STRING[] ARGS) { SYSTEM.OUT.PRINTLN("HI!"); } }
 
10:05 PM
30 short of the rep cap with less than two hours to go.
 
What's the fastest way to migrate 21 iphones to new iphones. :|
 
@MichaelFrank iTombs?
iShrooms?
iBiscuits?
 
10:27 PM
Turns out "Here's your new iphone, install iTunes and do a backup/restore." is a good option.
 
yup :)
 
why do i keep playing cod
 
It'll be interesting when the remote reps come in... they probably won't bring their laptops.
 
so many lamers :(

> "I put that down to people using the refund system as a demo," Newman tells me. "I think in the long run, people knowing the refund system is there probably gained us more sales than it lost us."
It probably also cut piracy rates.

> Rust has sold over 5.5 million units, after all.
Wow. Just wow.
This is an object lesson on how being nice to your customers is a Good Idea™.
Granted, it was EA that started this (Origin was the first digital distribution platform to allow refunds) but Valve deserves credit for doing this right.
 
@bwDraco it sold 5,509,983 copies
as of this second.
+-64k but meh
 
@Avery How does the number of owners float over time?
"Oh, we had a few players die so they don't count"
 
by float do you mean go down?
 
Yeah. Well, the numbers go up and down.
Up = new sales.
Down = ????
 
10:47 PM
refunds.
 
There's been 40k refunds on a single day!!! (15/jun to 16/jun)
 
lol
sec
check that backlog
214,126 refund requests were submitted yesterday
Also steamspy is mostly doing crazy maths to calculate stuff, so they all might not be refunds.
 
there's also this. Rust got 300k+ refunds to date.
 
WTF happened Jun 23? Steam sale started?
 
10:51 PM
yup
 
Bob
@allquixotic kcare doesn't support deb9 yet
also, morning all
 
Not to me, thanks
 
11:06 PM
@Avery there is some attrition to banned accounts too
 
Sequential I/O performance suffers a bit, but the low queue depth random I/O numbers are astronomically high.
Jan 7 '16 at 17:53, by bwDraco
Latency and IOPS at low queue depth are the main determinant of storage responsiveness in consumer environments.
...and this is precisely where Optane excels.
 
even 3557 is great
