@bertieb protip. KEEP THE STANDARD IN FRONT OF YOU
I did that for the first 20 or so cables. And I will do so if I do it again
@ThatBrazilianGuy kids wouldn't know about life without auto mdix
@Burgi and power
@rahuldottech debatable
 
2:21 AM
ow
The headline is misleading though
 
> 'we can't be bothered with the effort and cost of migrating and hosting 50 million old MP3s.'"
2
Sounds about right.
 
Nearly no one cared ;p
 
 
1 hour later…
3:35 AM
ok. TWF
I just signed and sent in my contract renewal.
They literally emailed me at 5, and said "hey, could you sign this and send this in by tommorrow"
I was like "k"
then they sent me a new one now, asking me to send it in by today
 
Make sure it's the same... Don't want them to slip in changes and then give you a rushed deadline to have it back by.
 
4:02 AM
Its the same other than the date.
 
4:25 AM
Is it scanned, or typed? If typed, export all the text to a .TXT file, on both contracts, and run it through a diff-like program
 
Bob
4:36 AM
@CanadianLuke or just open them together so they cover the same space, and alt+tab between them real quick
 
 
1 hour later…
5:43 AM
hm
I don't remember installing printer and scanner drivers...
but its all there
 
6:22 AM
How to disable or turn off internet for firefox?
Is there any setting at about:config ?
 
er whaaaat?
Ok, what are you really trying to do?
Why do you want a browser without internet?
 
Not allowing a user to use internet on Firefox
 
(windows 7)
 
What do you want to let the user use firefox for then?
or just break the browser?
 
6:25 AM
@JourneymanGeek Yes, probably.
 
how about setting the proxy to localhost?
and not having a proxy there?
 
Actually I want to disallow user to use internet on particular PC
 
it would essentially break connections
hm
You are tacking the problem at the wrong place
 
Assume use has no technical idea how settings work
 
If firefox is broken, they can use another browser
Why not disable the network adaptor and be done with it?
 
6:27 AM
@JourneymanGeek Yes, i thought for setting bad random proxy earlier but I don't want to change anything in proxy looking for any other ways....
 
for extra fun and plausible deniabilty, connect them to a spare router connected to nothing
 
@JourneymanGeek no they'll not. (since they don't have any idea for that :p)
@JourneymanGeek Actually i need to handle just 1 or 2 users not many :) and they are technically poor in troubleshooting things on computer
 
@Pandya the router option sounds even better
also makes it easier to fix later
 
I first thought for just enabling "offline" mode but Firefox will trun it of if "try again" is pressed
 
you can also block certain clients at the router(s)
 
6:31 AM
I don't have access to router.
 
you don't need to!
 
Do you know any settings in Firefox (excpet proxy) that can broke networking?
 
7:25 AM
@MichaelFrank What you need to do in July
 
 
1 hour later…
8:55 AM
@JourneymanGeek -_-
 
@rahuldottech you would be amazed how much ghetto 12v poe is out there
 
morning
 
> The BBC report, citing a UK-based price comparison site, said that 1 gigabyte (GB) of mobile data cost $0.26 in India (£0.20), compared with $12.37 in the US, $6.66 in the UK, and a global average of $8.53.
@JourneymanGeek I wouldn't, I've made some myself.
 
9:10 AM
@rahuldottech indian phone plans are insane in the best way
 
@JourneymanGeek IKR!!
@JourneymanGeek tbh I didn't even know there were standards for PoE until I looked into it after making my own
Or that most operated on 48V
I just used an Ethernet breakout and used the non-primary lines for 12V power.
 
@rahuldottech IIRC (and @Bob can confirm) - unifi uses 12v over ethernet.
A lot of analog cameras use baluns with cat 5 for both power and data
 
> Far away in Gurgaon, a suburb of capital Delhi, Ramnath Mandal, employed as a driver, pays less than $3 a month for unlimited free calls. With that he gets 42GB of 4G data, at 1.5GB a day, which he uses for viewing videos and for WhatsApp calls to his family and friends in the state of Bihar. That's less than 6 cents per GB - 70 times cheaper than what Mr Sen pays for his 4G data in London.
I have the same plan!
 
Bob
@JourneymanGeek 48V passive actually
 
Bob
9:18 AM
not 802.3af/at
 
i've HNQ'd
 
Bob
though the pro one technically supports is
but even then it only comes with a passive injector
@rahuldottech yea, uh, that's not really poe
point of poe is it's meant to work with data over the same lines
even the nonstandard passive that unifi uses works for that
 
9:41 AM
@JourneymanGeek Helpfully, it's on the keystone jacks themselves :D
Unhelpfully, both A and B variants are on there
leading to the old coin-toss moment
 
@Bob ahh yes I read about that
 
Just pick one and stick with it
Or do them straight through like a barbarian
 
10:12 AM
@Pandya what about parent controls?
 
Bob
10:33 AM
@bertieb if you're in Australia, use A for anything wall wired. if you're in America, use B
or was it the other way around
 
I think I read something about DOD wanting A
Could be wrong
 
well your house will be ready for the CIA next time trump is in town
 
11:27 AM
I went for B ;-P
well, past-bertieb went for B, and who am I to argue with him?
 
he was an idiot
 
He did almost lose a few fingers...
 
nods
 
@Bob wait. If you use B for the wall, what do you use A for?
 
Bob
@JourneymanGeek ...we use A for the wall
 
11:44 AM
@bertieb I seem to recall advising you to do exactly this, maybe.
 
Well in that case, thank you as well :D
 
@JourneymanGeek weird timing concidering how i was talking about hosting 1million mp3s on on a remote ntfs storage... (in a single dir)
Maybe our mysterious flagger, is a myspace employee ;D
 
 
1 hour later…
12:49 PM
@JourneymanGeek still makes me sad tho
 
Ah Brazil, where you'll be gunned down in the street, but at least your 737 MAX pilots are better than the US's....
3
> But the changes were enough that Brazilian authorities cited a need for additional pilot training on the 737 MAX even while the FAA allowed the system to go essentially unmentioned in US operation manuals.
@rahuldottech People never learn
 
2:00 PM
I wrote a line of bash and it made me happy :-)
docker image ls | awk '{ print $3 " " $4 }' | sort | uniq | awk '{sum+=$2} END {print sum}'
 
 
1 hour later…
3:09 PM
@Bob Contracts are usually written in fonts that make it difficult to read through lots at a time... That's why I'd prefer a program do it for me
 
3:25 PM
@ThatBrazilianGuy returns total size of all images?
/me guesses
Why sort then uniq?
I'm guessing that $3 and $4 is the name, and the size of all the images?
 
3:37 PM
Question, I am thinking about locking a website down to the office's IP address and people would need to connect to the office via a vpn to access the website. However, Sonicwall NetExtender only routes local traffic through the vpn, is there a way to setup the router to send traffic from a local address to the website?
 
3:53 PM
@CharlieBrumbaugh So like port forwarding?
 
@CanadianLuke It that what it would be? I am not a sysadmin so I really don't know what needs to happen here
If you try to access the DB at 10.10.10.8 that routes through the VPN but accessing youtube would not. What I need is for example.com to route through the VPN as well
if that makes sense
 
@djsmiley2k Yep!
@djsmiley2k Because if we don't, then we get:
wordpress 4 9451d745d1dd 408MB
wordpress 4.9.8 9451d745d1dd 408MB
wordpress latest 9451d745d1dd 408MB
Same image, same ID, different tags
 
4:14 PM
@djsmiley2k Have I missed something? What mysterious flagger?
 
@djsmiley2k ID and size, so we can sort and uniq the IDs
 
@CharlieBrumbaugh That's too open ended to answer. Do you have a SysAdmin at your workplace?
 
@CanadianLuke Not at the moment.
 
There's going to be a few moving parts you'll need to be familiar with before a viable answer will be available. You'll need to understand Your VPN Solution and how it works on an intimate level (why is some traffic VPNed, while other traffic isn't); understand your web server's configuration (i.e. having multiple incoming zones, pointing to different virtual hosts, etc), and routing information for your networks.
 
4:36 PM
^------------- THIS.
 
@DavidPostill oh just any old random one.
@CanadianLuke err? No
1. run dns internally
2. route everything over vpn
3. sniff users traffic
4. profit!
 
Right, I forgot about step 3... Thanks
 
5:06 PM
Great, now I'm having to tcpdump docker internal networks.
Then the helper script I use saves it as pcap files
And recommends me to use tcptrace to analyze them
But it's not on most distro repos, including mine
So now I'll have to compile from source
Next thing you'll know... sharks!
!!xkcd 349
 
Oh, and that began as looking for a way to analyze a SQL query
Which began as the output of a profiling tool
Which began as an old rusty sword left beside an orphan with a strange amulet
 
5:33 PM
OK, it's easier to wireshark all my interfaces and filter for MySQL.
 
6:02 PM
Fiddling with my old Plextor M5m in an mSATA to USB 3.1 Gen 2 enclosure...
Jan 10 '14 at 5:51, by DragonLord
Ordered a 64 GB Plextor M5M mSATA SSD earlier today
Wow. Can't believe my drive is more than five years old.
Funnily enough, the first one I received from Newegg was exchanged as DOA.
The second one is five years old and still going strong.
 
6:37 PM
OK THIS MAKES NO SENSE.
Same environment, same apps, same scenario, same SQL query.
Yesterday it took 31s to run, today it took 9s.
1/3rd of the time, 66% improvement... Over what?
 
6:53 PM
Half of the star wall is either from Brazil or about Brazil ;P
 
IMO cloud gaming will be a major niche in gaming going forward. While I don't think it's going to replace big gaming rigs, mainstream gamers who can't afford to spend $1,000+ on a premium gaming PC will find this to be a very attractive alternative. Especially when the promise is that a $20 to $50 subscription can deliver an experience comparable to what a $3,000 gaming desktop would enable.
 
OnLive was a huge flop.
Granted, it started 10 years ago and net speeds were lower back then.
 
Google has the advantage of already having much of the infrastructure to support this, though they still had to form partnerships with the likes of AMD and Ubisoft.
 
And IIRC you had to pay a monthly fee for the service and acquire the games.
 
7:08 PM

Now if there was something like Netflix but for games... With no download times, install times, configuration hassle, massive disk space... Hardware requirements...
 
A customized variant of Vega 56 and specialized processors.
 
Yeah, I can see the appeal.

@ThatBrazilianGuy That's the whole promise that today's cloud gaming platforms offer.
 
7:09 PM
Sounds weird, almost against natural tendencies... But... I can see the appeal.
 
@rahuldottech Can you please cut it out with the Unicode/ASCII art?
 
@rahuldottech Dude. Watch your flooding. We don't need another (s)he-who-shall-not-be-named (because-they-already-got-too-many-names)
 
And you can play anywhere, on any hardware.
 
Yeah. On the other hand, I'm not too comfortable with not literally owning my steam collection.
I hate when movies and series disappear from Netflix.
The same for my games... Not nice :-/
Damn you Gameflix! You don't even exist and you're already frustrating.
There are also other challenges: latency, data caps...
 
For enthusiasts, it won't be a complete replacement for local gaming hardware. But even so, it can serve as a way to play away from home, when your big desktop isn't available.
As for me, I'm not too willing to add another subscription, seeing that Astaroth already does everything I need it to do when it comes to gaming, but it's still an exciting new technology to watch.
Couple that to ultra-high-speed, high-capacity, low-latency 5G networks and you've got a dream come true.
 
7:30 PM

@ThatBrazilianGuy Have ytou heard about the time that OpenOffice started rendering its menus using a Cyrlic alphabet while i was trying to write my disseration, and how I learn all sorts of weird things about font handing on linux, build systems, and other oddness.
 
how can I temporarily stop a computer from going into windows 7? I thought of boot.ini but I have an error accessing it "boot configuration data store could not be opened"
BIOS/UEFI has no option to disable hdd and boot options give no option to not boot from hdd
 
@barlop what do you want to do instead?
 
not boot an OS
also the hdd is very hard to access in the laptop so removing the hdd is not an option
 
7:50 PM
stick a nonbootable usb drive in, set bios to boot from usb (and fail?)
 
no. As I said, it has no option to not boot from hdd, so if usb boot fails it boots hdd
 
8:20 PM
ok, hmm, why?
ext4
 
@barlop Any chance of a pic of the BOOT page in the BIOS?
 
8:45 PM
@barlop i'm interested in to why...
 
I just found an option in the BIOS/UEFI to change hard drive from ACHI to ATA, that does that i want, prevents hdd from booting far
@djsmiley2k obviously the reason why useful to disable hdd from booting when having issues booting usb, is because it makes failing to boot from usb much faster if when it fails it doesn't then boot into the OS, so when trying to boot from usb it helps quicken the process.
 
@barlop Can you put network boot after USB? Then if it fails it'll fall to network before the HDD, giving you a chance to CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart before the OS boots.
 
@MichaelFrank even if I put hdd last then it boots it
so when network fails it tries the next thing
 
@Bob For some reason, when I read your comment all I can visualise is someone flicking back and forth while singing the tune from Sandstorm by Darude.
@barlop Well, yea.... it's designed to do that eventually.
 
@MichaelFrank so why did you suggest that?
 
8:55 PM
@barlop To give you time.
 
oh ok
 
USB? Fail. Network? ctrl-alt-del
 
good idea, anyhow I got it to stop booting to OS by changing it from AHCI to ATA
@MichaelFrank yeah I know what you mean
 
Okay cool.
 
yeah but that takes 60 seconds....
 
8:57 PM
I'm sure there must be an option to disable the HDD though... Maybe it's labelled funny?
 
my bios is funny
It has 'removable device' which is usb sticks
but then it also has 'boot usb' which is..... nothing
 
USB FDD, USB HDD, USB ETC...
 
YAH kinda
 
9:29 PM
How many language packs are actually needed for Win10 to function normally?
 
V.7
10:07 PM
Hey all
There's a Pentium 4 2x3GHz SL7Z9 CPU, but it's curious would a mobo Foxconn 915A03-G-8KS handle such CPU?
 
10:34 PM
@V.7 I don't see why not, the processor and the motherboard are both LGA775.
 
V.7
@MichaelFrank Oh, so all LGA775 CPUs are supported?
 
There's not a lot of info on that motherboard around, but most of it points to Pentium 4 and Pentium D.
> Compatibility is quite variable, as earlier chipsets (Intel 915 and below) tend to support only single core Netburst Pentium 4 and Celeron CPUs at an FSB of 533/800 MT/s.
LGA 775, also known as Socket T, is an Intel desktop CPU socket. LGA stands for land grid array. Unlike earlier common CPU sockets, such as its predecessor Socket 478, the LGA 775 has no socket holes; instead, it has 775 protruding pins which touch contact points on the underside of the processor (CPU).The socket had a unusually long life span, lasting 7 years until the last processors supporting it ceased production in 2011. The socket was superseded by the LGA 1156 (Socket H) and LGA 1366 (Socket B) sockets. The distance between the four screw holes for the heatsink is 72 mm, thus such are...
That motherboard is a 915 chipset.
i915G specifically, so you'd only get access to Pentium 4 and Celeron D, I believe.
 
V.7
@MichaelFrank So all LGA775 P4 and CD?
For example SL9C6 and SL7Z9?
 
10:49 PM
Yea, I think Prescott processors should be safe
 
Just watch out if someone throws an egg!
(carry on)
 
Seconds before disaster
 
@V.7 I doubt all
Core duo/ core2 duo was lga775 too
Your best bet is finding a compatibility list for that motherboard
Which ... Is blank
 
As for the SPOILER vuln discussed a couple of weeks back...
Apparently, Ryzen isn't affected, either.
> We believe that our products are not susceptible to this issue because of our unique processor architecture. The SPOILER exploit can gain access to partial address information above address bit 11 during load operations. We believe that our products are not susceptible to this issue because AMD processors do not use partial address matches above address bit 11 when resolving load conflicts.
 
11:04 PM
@JourneymanGeek The motherboard is 915 chipset, so only P4 and Celeron D.
