@ThatREDACTEDGuy that is a certain way to be lacerated

That REDACTED Guy

@JourneymanGeek Doesn't matter, had cat

12:40 AM

@JourneymanGeek found random cat on the street. Picked it up and hugged it.

That REDACTED Guy

Wife's friend found a random cat on the street. Picked it up and adopted it two days ago.

Spent $1500 on vet and cat stuff.

My wife visited the cat today. My "no we can't ever have a cat I'm allergic" wife.

Does not appear to be trying to lacerate me

@ThatREDACTEDGuy :O

That REDACTED Guy

@NotDog Appear to be eating pistacchios

That REDACTED Guy

12:57 AM

Yay, been in a room for ten minuets and got two stars already :D

1:16 AM

@ThatREDACTEDGuy Did not notice the pistachios tbh

Journeyman Geek

1:31 AM

its not being hugged. And will likely murder you in your sleep.

@ThatREDACTEDGuy maybe she's trying to build up an immunity

.... two people told me we suddenly needed passwords on one or all the systems in the other block to change the volume.

speaker on one pc was plugged into the wrong port ._.

1:54 AM

@JourneymanGeek not from 3 miles away

2:28 AM

@NotDog Hey man, I'm dipping my toe into the Ethereum scene now too

I'm capping out with CUDA at around 20-21 MH/s on both a laptop GTX 1060 and a desktop GTX 1080, which I find odd

I have them both connected to my server's geth instance with SSH and port forwarding, so the server bears the burden of all the P2P syncing with the blockchain, and the geth JSON-RPC format is very lightweight so the bandwidth cost on my local boxes is almost zero

I'm just a little confused why the 1080 can't give me more, or whether CUDA is lagging behind OpenCL... Windows 10 anniversary and latest game-ready Nvidia drivers on both boxes

3:16 AM

Aquantia-based 10GbE NICs now available

It's about f---ing time home networking got an upgrade!

When you have wireless networking protocols that can operate faster than a typical wired connection, you have a problem.

Jun 5 at 20:31, by bwDraco

Gigabit Ethernet is quite literally bottlenecking 802.11ad.

3:51 AM

meh.

@bwDraco that's a big can

in practise it rarely doess.

Maybe if you're literally sitting on top of the AP

but then your body would block the signals

arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/12/802-11ad-wifi-guide-review

> Sitting a couple of metres away from the router

10m for most of a house? bah

and here I am running 20m cables...

4:14 AM

> As well as 802.11ad, it packs in six gigabit Ethernet ports with dual-gigabit link aggregation, a quad-core 1.7GHz processor (unspecified, but likely ARM-based), two USB 3.0 ports for sharing printers and files, and it'll be the first router to have in-built Plex server support.

I wish good luck to them at compiling plex server for ARM.

It's a pain.

@allquixotic something to do with GDDR5X

Basically the 1080 is sub-optimal

Mining seems to be very sensitive to memory synchronisation though in exactly what way I haven't figured out

By synchronisation I mean timing

@Avery The processor is an Annapurna Labs Alpine AL-514.

Eww.... server is only downloading at 1.3MB/s D:

I might have to rethink running it through the powerline.

For example reducing the core clockspeeds of my GTX 1070 by 40% makes zero difference to the mining hash rate or power consumption, but increasing the memory speed by 8% increases hash rate by 20% without any change in power consumption either.

@bwDraco and I assume that's armv8?

4:26 AM

@Avery No, ARMv7-A. Cortex-A15.

@NotDog most people mine with amd cards though

@bwDraco aha, I see

@Avery and?

"Most people" don't mine at all. Those that do either use whatever hardware they have lying around already (Nvidia) or are professionals that specifically buy tons of cards purely for mining (AMD)

@NotDog s/cards/ASICs/

@NotDog by people I mean miners

@Bob ethereum is designed to be ASIC resistant

4:34 AM

@NotDog oh, you're talking ethereum

sorry, must've missed that

@Avery I'd still argue most people mine with Nvidia cards. A few people mine professionally with arrays of hundreds or thousands of cards but those most certainly aren't most miners.

GTX 1080 aside Nvidia cards this generation aren't that bad at mining.

If you're buying a new card for mining then AMD still provides more performance per dollar cost but Nvidia still holds something like 80% market share of the existing market

@allquixotic I've tested CUDA vs OpenCL on both Windows and Linux and there's basically zero difference. There's maybe a 5% advantage on Linux overall but that applies equally to both

Can someone who's familiar with the Oculus Rift take a look at this:

Can I use head turning to control the mouse in Oculus Rift's Virtual Desktop app?

There are two Oculus Rift apps I know of that allow you to use your PC in VR: [BigScreen](https://www.oculus.com/experiences/rift/1018613041536358/) which is free, and [Virtual Desktop](https://www.oculus.com/experiences/rift/911715622255585/!! ) which is $12. Now Virtual Desktop has some advantages over BigScreen that may justify the price difference, but it seems to have one disadvantage. In Virtual Desktop, you move the mouse around using either the arrow keys of the Oculus Remote or the joystick of the…

I would post this question on the site, except the system won't let me at the moment.

why not?

4:54 AM

@NotDog O_O

@NotDog I wonder how much memory frequency headroom my 1080 FE has

currently geth on my server is taking an age to sync to the blockchain >_<

It says "You've asked 3 questions recently, some of which have not been received very well by the community. Everyone learns at their own pace, and it’s okay to make some mistakes. However, the reception your questions have received thus far might ultimately block your account from asking questions entirely.

It's been 0 days since you asked your last question. We ask that you wait 1 days before asking again. Use this time to revisit your previous questions, editing to address any issues that folks have pointed out in comments."

can't do any mining while it's doing that I think

Q: Rolling question rate limits are now network-wide

When you think of Q&A sites, you think of a place where you come to get answers to your questions. But, where do those answers come from? What doesn't immediately stand out for many folks is that it's not our software that's giving them answers, it's other people that are taking the time to share...

anyone knows how to restart a raspi from ssh?

I'm failing to do so

huh

sudoing worked, even though autocomplete said that it failed.

Good night.

6:08 AM

@Avery for me it's echo "1" > /sys/class/gpio/gpio4/value (I have a watchdog that forces open a relay on the power rail with that pin.)

huh, nice

but wouldn't that cause data loss?

@Avery this one is static, and loads to ram.

though the watchdog is here mostly to reboot it in case it hangs up.

the watchdog is just a couple of transistors, diodes, capacitors and resistors, linked to a normally closed relay.

and pin 4 is simply linked to a transistor that powers the relay.

6:26 AM

I've thought about grabbing an old/cheap ATX PSU and using it for an rpi

why is windows 10 still using assets from windows vista agh

@Avery because that's not windows 10

it is

also, lol, I was on that screen last night

anyway. that's winpe

not win10

winpe?

6:30 AM

Windows Preinstallation Environment

Windows Preinstallation Environment (also known as Windows PE and WinPE) is a lightweight version of Windows used for the deployment of PCs, workstations, and servers, or troubleshooting an operating system while it is offline. It is intended to replace MS-DOS boot disks and can be booted via USB flash drive, PXE, iPXE, CD-ROM, or hard disk. Traditionally used by large corporations and OEMs (to preinstall Windows client operating systems on PCs during manufacturing), it is now widely available free of charge via Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK). == Overview == WinPE was originally intended...

oh, that.

hm, technically winpe 10 since they synced the version numbers

Well you got what I mean.

> why is winpe using same assets since windows vista?

@Avery eh, my answer remains the same... it doesn't use win10 style because it isn't actually win10

happy?

6:31 AM

updating the style (and possibly bringing in a new ui layer?) would be a pain and isn't really necessary

at least update the checkmark to be metro ugh

shouldn't be that hard

you see that screen for maybe an hour total, and most of that is sitting there waiting for it to install

@Avery there's two ways about it. bring in the unified UI libraries, which is very, very complex, or hack something that looks similar, which is somewhat fragile and annoying to maintain

user image

or... just don't bother

They chose to not bother

and, hey, if that minimises weird bugs... I'm all for it

that's a better question :p

6:32 AM

the new recovery environment is annoying enough

if it makes you happy, the new (CU) post-install pre-login setup is all shiny and new

I know

I have my microphone disabled.

Hard disabled.

@Avery mine is hard disabled too, I kinda dropped honey on it, had to put it down.

hi

hey, rahul

@Avery WinPE is frigging amazing!

@satibel 'yo!

@Rahul2001 hm?

@Avery I've used it extensively for recovery and malware removal.

It's basically like a live version of Windows

@Rahul2001 I use linux for malware removal

7:32 AM

@Avery Has its caveats

15 minutes of Google Translate "dotto"

user226528

7:51 AM

15 minutes? The camera bobs so much, I am not sure I can watch 1 minute of it.

user226528

A heads-up for you guys: "Chat room" in French is not "Salle de chat".

morning

@FleetCommand n'est il pas?

user226528

@satibel Google Translate says it is, but it means "cat room".

user226528

"Chat room" is "Salle de tchat", apparently.

7:58 AM

@FleetCommand I can definitely tell you we often write "chat" without the t, but pronounce it with a "t" (like the English pronunciation).

its almost like a foreign language

user226528

@satibel Don't you call it "salon de discussion" or "clavardoir"?

@FleetCommand we can, though, it is often just abbreviated to "salon".

the official name is "eblabla" for chat.

helo boiz n gurlz

of course, nobody except academicians use that.

tchatche is an alternative, but not used either.

@Rahul2001 hey jung boi

8:06 AM

@FleetCommand i call it French English, to go with Brazilian Spanish

@Burgi Franglais or Frenglish

@FleetCommand which words are you talking about?

@satibel i like Frenglish :)

user226528

Never mind. The French guy who laughed at me for saying "cat room" is gone and I behaved admirably, considering how unsocial I am. All in all, it is he who lost anything in the way of reputation.

@FleetCommand eh, he's probably from 15-18 (a chat somewhat akin to a dumber /b/)

Stop smurfin' around, you

8:26 AM

@Rahul2001 eew, 4 spaces.

@satibel whazrongwiddat?

@Rahul2001 2 spaces master race :p

@satibel ew no

I'll just go back to tabs

user image

elastic tabs ftw.

Whoa... What does that?

8:39 AM

@MichaelFrank elastic tabstops

basically, it groups tabstops together, so you just use one tab.

Journeyman Geek

hm, one of my systems is being an annoying pain in the rear.

@satibel what the hell is this WebDAV thingy

I mean, I know what it is

How do I make it work on non-IIS windows?

@Rahul2001 use a webDAV server.

@satibel man

I'm having too much trouble getting letsencrypt to work

ACME Server Returned: Unexpected error - Response: {
  "type": "urn:acme:error:malformed",
  "detail": "Error creating new authz :: Invalid character in DNS name",
  "status": 400
}

@Bob Do you know what this is? ^

@Rahul2001 I'd say you have an Invalid character in DNS name

@satibel I don't

"bleh.ml"

what's invalid in that?

9:51 AM

@Rahul2001 context

@Rahul2001 command?

@Bob I just ran letsencrypt.exe, and followed through with the instructions for FTP

When is asks for hostname, do I put in bleh.ml or http://bleh.ml or https://bleh.ml?

All three give me errors

btw, @Rahul2001 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebDAV#Server_support

@satibel I have neither

9:55 AM

which server do you use then?

I think he's using Abyss

@Rahul2001 are you still there?

Oliver Salzburg

10:13 AM

My inability to log into O365 is caused by technical difficulties on MS side

@satibel yeah sorry

Oliver Salzburg

They probably got crypted :P

user image

@MichaelFrank @satibel yep, abyss

@Rahul2001 hostname, not URL

10:14 AM

@Bob so that should be just bleh.ml, right?

still gives an error

Oliver Salzburg

@Rahul2001 Which one?

@OliverSalzburg one sec

huh, this is weird

it just stopped responding

@OliverSalzburg "hey, could you execute this totally not suspicious file named popcorn time"?

@satibel ok, send it over

Okay, it just shut itself without saying anything

10:27 AM

@Rahul2001 is this an important server?

@Bob uh, kinda?

why?

@Rahul2001 was wondering if you could give me ftp access to try :P

@Bob sure

I don't have anything on the server yet

I'll be afk for about an hour though

so... bbl

11:27 AM

Holy Moley setting custom ringtones on an iPhone is difficult.

@Bob Ping me when you're back

11:42 AM

@Rahul2001 ping

@Bob one sec

@Rahul2001 you can send details on telegram if you don't want to paste a password here

or I could set up a ftp server... hm.

(I usually don't like ftp)

@Bob yeah, telegram

@Rahul2001 nvm I'll set up my own

actually wait

@Bob just check telegram ;p

11:45 AM

@Rahul2001 don't bother

you're hosting this locally on Windows right?

@Bob yeah, gave you ssh & ftp

firewall.

@Avery hm?

@Rahul2001 worksforme

don't use ftp

IIRC you're trying to get letsencrypt running

11:46 AM

use manual

use manual auth and it'll ask you for yoru webroot

use sftp

dang

user image

@Rahul2001 ^

it accepted the domain name fine

are you sure you didn't type any other funny characters?

@Bob yeah

11:48 AM

@Rahul2001 ^ try doing what I did above

but I was trying ftp

@Bob sure

@Rahul2001 if it's on the local server, don't bother with ftp

@Bob wait

it worked!

btw, after it's done you should point your webserver at those certificates, using the same path because that's where the auto-renew will put them

don't copy the certificates out

@Bob okay, cool

11:50 AM

don't move the letsencrypt exe after it's generated because the autorenew uses that path too

if yout webserver can't read them (because user permissions) either fix permissions or tell LE to dump them in a different path

you can use --certoutpath to tell it where to put them

read letsencrypt.exe -? and the wiki, starting github.com/Lone-Coder/letsencrypt-win-simple/wiki/Basic-Usage and github.com/Lone-Coder/letsencrypt-win-simple/wiki/…

(they focus on IIS examples but it's still a decent description of how it works)

@Bob where do I find the private key? Is it saved to a file?

@NotDog Man, how long does this blockchain syncing fucking take? It's been running on my OVH box with symmetrical GbE for well over 12 hours and only this far:

> > eth.syncing
{
currentBlock: 2372157,
highestBlock: 3951699,
knownStates: 0,
pulledStates: 0,
startingBlock: 0
}

and I can't get a single mining reward until it's done

ah, the .pfx?

wait wat

it's up to 54GB of data, too, which is hideous

12:17 PM

OH HELL YEAH

I GOT HTTPS

@Bob Thanks a ton

@Rahul2001 do you have ACT?

@jokerdino nope, why?

thinking of getting it.

12:32 PM

Has anyone here used cherokee?

cherokee-project.com

Seems really cool

@Rahul2001 nw

@Rahul2001 oh, make sure the scheduled task exists, and try a renew run

otherwise you might randomly lose https in 90 days :P

@Bob will do :)

@Rahul2001 yea usually LE saves one private key file and one cert chain file

though I can't remember how the Windows one does it

@Rahul2001 I'd rather run standard than "really cool"

that said, I don't like apache, soooo... nginx it is :P

@Rahul2001 your next job (after checking renew): fix your ssl setup :P

ssllabs.com/ssltest/…

first you need to fix your certificate chain

you're only sending the site certificate atm. you need to send the intermediate, otherwise it won't work for most people

@Bob Hm, I thought I was sending it too... Which file is the intermediate one?

@Rahul2001 uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I've only ever used the Windows thing once, for a remote-desktop-gateway on IIS :P

one sec, lemme dig

@Rahul2001 use -chain.pem, I think

and use -key.pem for the key

@Rahul2001 does your webserver take pem?

12:44 PM

@Bob yep

cool, use those then

the pfx exists for those using Windows' certificate stores, like IIS

it's an all-in-one (private key, certificate, chain)

I'd recommend not using all-in-ones if only because IIRC some webservers are braindead and will happily send your private key too..?

My server software is stupid though

@Rahul2001 the other thing you'll probably want to fix:

> ECDH public server param reuse Yes

It will support either HTTPS or HTTP

@Bob huh

@Rahul2001 blog.qualys.com/ssllabs/2017/01/13/whats-new-ssl-labs-1-26-5 apparently it's just the webserver being dumb and there's not much you can do short of switching to a new webserver, assuming there's no config option for it community.qualys.com/thread/…

@Rahul2001 ...maybe you're supposed to run two separate copies? :S

@Rahul2001 oi, run nginx! :D

(on linux preferably)

12:48 PM

@Bob it's a limitation of the free version

weird.

Yeah, right now I have command prompt set up, asking HTTP users to visit via HTTPS

-_-

But this is why I'm thinking of shifting to cherokee

fixed your cert chain yet?

12:49 PM

@Rahul2001 make me

@Rahul2001 y no nginx :(

@Bob nope, it's acting up

@Bob huh. Maybe I'll give it a try after all ;p

Does it have a decent htaccess equivalent? ;p

@Rahul2001 nup. those configs go in the server conf files

@Bob huh, ok

it's a performance thing

recursively checking .htaccess all the way down the path is slow

lighttpd supports .htaccess if you really need it, and @JourneymanGeek uses it I think

12:51 PM

one file to rule them all

personally, short of supporting some dodgy apps, I've found I've not ever needed .htaccess

even then, most not-dodgy apps are getting smarter and supporting nginx :P

@Bob I use it sometimes to restrict access to certain directories, and for redirects

@Rahul2001 you can do that in nginx, you just do it in the main conf files

Huh, works for me

(which can be split into multiple files via includes, but shouldn't be scattered within the webroot)

12:52 PM

Also, clean URLs?

@Rahul2001 doable. I did it for my try-server :P but it depends what you're doing specifically...

I mean. Just about everything is doable. But some things are easy, some things are harder...

@Bob I think I'll set it up with apache for now, then learn nginx and shift later

@Rahul2001 :(

@Bob -_-

@Rahul2001 lol, offer for a server is still open if you feel like playing around

12:54 PM

@Bob I know, I'll be sure to ask if I ever need it :D

@Rahul2001 heh, I'm trying to convince you to take it :P

what kind of server?

@jokerdino lxd container of dubious durability

well, if you need a more stable one, I can do that too

how much is it?

but for messing around the slightly questionable ones are easier :P

12:57 PM

I have wanted to have a server for myself haha

@jokerdino hm? if you want a full one of your own... you can get a dodgy-ish one for $10/year

these are 3EUR/month

if you just want one to experiment on, I can give you one for free, but it's not really a server as in hosting stuff long-term :P

thought I could get a server for my crappy blog and do some other things on it as well.

like using the server as a sync for taskwarrior or something.

for more long-term stuff, I can do that too but that's waiting on a different dedi of mine being fully updated/installed properly
