@Ave Que pasó?

Ave

I'm not on US international I can't type spanish or ptbr properly

That Brazilian Guy

Can't you just change the logic layout? Or you mean your keyboard doesn't have the physical keys?

Ave

I touch type a lot of different layouts, so lack of text on keys doesn't matter.

That Brazilian Guy

Then what?

Ave

12:47 AM

But yeah, I don't even know how to type the right chars

That Brazilian Guy

You just have to type á é í ó ú à ã ô ç ü

Oh no wait they killed the last one, poor ü.

Q: How to know you've outgrown your equipment?

I have only started shooting recently, as a hobby. I use Canon EOS M100. I use a EF to EF-M adapter to use EF 50mm f/1.2L USM. The camera seems to have trouble focusing and light metering (with auto ISO overexposing the image a lot). The red AF assist light seems to be hitting the lens. Should ...

@bwDraco ^

bwDraco

Choice of equipment honestly boils down to your intended application. For me, as a sports photographer, I have some very specific requirements for the job. If you're doing photography as an art, the requirements are much more limited.

Burgi

you applied for any jobs this week?

@allquixotic how do I use that "ILO/KVM"... thing? Does it being "KVM" means I can use virt-manager to manage it?

Journeyman Geek

naw

here its a keyboard/video/mouse over IP setup

you typically use a java thing on a website for it

allquixotic

@ThatBrazilianGuy no, it's not that kind of KVM

I'm working on it btw, it's because I chose zstd compression

ubuntu bionic grub can't boot zstd compressed filesystem

In the /etc/fstab of installed ubuntu bionic system I specified compress=zstd for the btrfs root filesytem After runing 'sudo btrfs filesystem defragment -r -czstd /' the system booted to a grub shell. I could boot again by running 'sudo btrfs filesystem defragment -r -clzo /' and specifying compress=lzo in the /etc/fstab. There is also a new bug in the btrfs tools: btrfs does recognize the option '-clzo' but not '-c lzo'.

grub2 (Ubuntu)

Undecided / Confirmed

It asks me to use IE... or Java... or both.

@ThatBrazilianGuy I'm using IE :P

I have Linux both at work and at home.

Journeyman Geek

there's literally a little arm processor with a odd little specific video card

allquixotic

@JourneymanGeek Matrox IIRC, and it has its own public IP

while being "cool" they have a terrible attack surface and are historically quite vulnerable (and poorly maintained with fixes)

Journeyman Geek

@allquixotic the ones I remember were a odd little company

not matrox

allquixotic

and this one is extremely old, so it has no compatibility updates to modern stuff like html5

Journeyman Geek

and yes, and sometimes only work with specific versions of java

That Brazilian Guy

3:35 AM

@JourneymanGeek Huh? "a little arm processor with a odd little specific video card"? Are we talking about the same thing? Isn't it a management software for remote access?

Journeyman Geek

@ThatBrazilianGuy its hardware for full remote access to physical hardware right down to the bios

allquixotic

@ThatBrazilianGuy a KVM-over-IP solution is literally a computer attached to your computer

it's a "yo dawg" computer

Michael Frank

yo dawg

Snap.

Journeyman Geek

On most dedis you can literally mount an ISO over your browser and boot into it

@MichaelFrank Woof

allquixotic

you login to the KVM-over-IP (which has its own public IP and processor and RAM and storage) and it acts as a sort of physical layer remote desktop to the server

@JourneymanGeek that's how I'm having to fix this now

That Brazilian Guy

3:36 AM

So is @allq's server a literal bare metal server?

Journeyman Geek

@ThatBrazilianGuy yup

allquixotic

@ThatBrazilianGuy yes

Wat.

Launchpad Janitor does not use Launchpad

https://launchpad.net/~janitor says "Launchpad Janitor does not use Launchpad." If it doesn't use Launchpad, why does it have an account on Launchpad solely to declare that it does not use Launchpad? ~janitor is considered invalid by Lp vocabularies so it we cannot use it in searches.

@Bob ya

@Bob zstd on zfs will be nice; I'm looking forward to the open source community further demonstrating their superiority over proprietary Oracle Solaris ZFS by adding a superior compression alg

it should go through OpenZFS first -- that way, the zstd implementation in the on-disk format (and the way it's detected and stored in metadata) is consistent from BSD, to illumos, to ZOL

I still remember being curious about operating systems when I was in high school, when virtualization opened a world of operating systems and software to explore.

bwDraco

Hmm...

WRT arrogance issues... It seems my self-control has not kept pace with increasing decision-making agency. This is resulting in arrogant decisions that have been increasingly dangerous over the last few weeks and months. I am finding myself doing unsafe things over my parents' orders. What should I do?

I am being given more freedom to take initiative (which, among other things, led me to finally acquire my first credit card), but at the same time, I fear that this expanded freedom is not matched with an appropriate level of control.

I can be a responsible person, and when I am able to control myself, can avoid abusing said freedom. But I've long had self-control problems, and I fear that the lack of improvement in this front can stall further growth or even cause me to get in serious trouble.

Wolfenstein 3D

Wolfenstein 3D is a first-person shooter video game developed by id Software and published by Apogee Software and FormGen. Originally released on May 5, 1992 for MS-DOS, it was inspired by the 1981 Muse Software video game Castle Wolfenstein, and is the third installment in the Wolfenstein series. In Wolfenstein 3D, the player assumes the role of Allied spy William "B.J." Blazkowicz during World War II as he escapes from the Nazi German prison Castle Wolfenstein and carries out a series of crucial missions against the Nazis. The player traverses through each of the game's levels to find an elevator...

Because mine is somewhere between a family of 3-4 in a medium or large house, accoring to the coop

DavidPostill

@bertieb lol. most people don't. your provider can give your your annual consumption figures.

bertieb

And I, uh, live alone in a smallish place

@DavidPostill I have mine

And they seem high

So I wondered what other folks' were

Burgi

> Small house/flat – One or two bedrooms

With an annual gas output of 8,000kWh and an electricity output of 2,000kWh

For a small house or flat with one or two occupants, the average monthly utility bill is £61, which is an annual cost of £734, based on the annual energy output above.

@rahuldottech I think those migrants must've set up a renderfarm consisting solely of P4s, to account for that energy usage...
