@Psycogeek You use that feature on your smartphone?
@Boris_yo Yes that is what i was referring to, the idea that there is a way to find a song using the computer.
It would be cool to find an alogrythm (and program) that discovered duplicate Videos, on my disk too. but it would have to be pretty sofisticated. if they start in different places, are different codecs and compression rates and all.
@Psycogeek FYI there's is similar program but for images. Works pretty good actually.
@Boris_yo I have a few image dupe programs, they work good.
00:24
@Psycogeek Are you still on your shift? You seem to be here a lot of time.
@Boris_yo what is a shift?
Yes i am still working, I am always working, but i never concider babysitting a computer to be a big effort.
@Psycogeek Shift, your work shift. You know part time, full time? When you change someone who worked 8 hours, you take his shift and work another 8 hours until somebody replaces you?
@Psycogeek What's is big effort in your opinion? Working at construction yard?
@Boris_yo there is only one me, nobody replaces me :-( .
@Boris_yo Sure , that is real work. or doing paperwork, that is horrible work. In fact if prison inmates would do my paperwork, i would gladly make the licence plates instead :-)
@Psycogeek You mean you come and work your 8 hours and the company closes until tomorrow? Unlike production work where work is 24/7 and people replace people?
@Psycogeek So you hate physical work and paper work but love digital work (computers)?
@Boris_yo No more like i wake up work when i want to, the more work i do, the more i get paid, stop whenever i want. dont work enough i eat top-ramen , and live under a bridge.
00:36
@AmberRoxanna Welcome to Root Access chat for Super Users! Please don't ask if you can ask or if anyone's around; just ask your question, and if anyone's free and interested they'll help.
@Psycogeek Seems like paid for performance work...
@Boris_yo I like physical work too, like the computer, would even get greasy under a car, but paperwork Uggg, most terrible thing .
@Psycogeek Like accountant? Eewww?
@Boris_yo not for me, i am sooo happy there are people who love to do that.
@Psycogeek What qualifications were required for you to have to take your current position?
00:40
@Boris_yo I worked my way up my own ladder :-)
Aparentaly spelling was not one of the qualifications.
@Psycogeek What were qualifications for your initial place on ladder?
@Boris_yo Idiot with a camera, i could aim it, and push the button, and fix up battery packs and mics and all , enough to start doing "professional" video work for pennies an hour at first.
Took the camera to places where back in that time only TV would have ever done so, and shot people , and sold them pictures of themselves on a thing called VHS tape. Now there are 1 million idiots with cameras. but i am still sorta good at it comparably.
@Psycogeek You are professional photograph? Wedding photograph or any occasion photograph? Do you have guys to be paparazzo?
00:57
@Boris_yo professional videography, although I have also done photography rarely when requested. Even did a "1 man band" both at the same time. 99% of the time it is not broadcast, it is never porn. I would not be so good at paparazzi and the type of "news" they have today, where there is 300 camera people in one place fighting over the same overhyped story. (while 50 other stores go unseen)
both paparazzi and news people, have to be very agressive to get thier shots in these situations, they would walk all over me.
@Psycogeek Being paparazzo is a question of one's morals... Well gotta travel to astral realm now to calm my spirit and wake up like newly born. Cya!
@Boris_yo sleep well, the car alarms are lullabies

03:32
yay, Apache httpd 2.4 is going in Ubuntu 13.10
@somequixotic I might finally get to try that event MPM :P
but PHP would have to be in FastCGI anyway, so... might as well go nginx :S
Bob

o.O
> One problem with Lighty is that it leaks memory like a sieve. I audited it for a little bit and I gave up, it's a mess. I'd steer clear of it, it will quickly ruin your day if you throw a lot of traffic at it.
Don't you use lighttpd, @JourneymanGeek?
yeah I do
on a 2 bit vps as well
not much traffic tho
hm
I need new speakers
Bob
Bob
@JourneymanGeek 2 bit?
04:14
lol
256mb is hardly any ram ;p
Bob
Bob
ah
I've got a couple sites running off 128 :P
one was that win8 challenge stats site. got a tiny bit of traffic
all others are used solely by myself (and a couple others, in the case of the file sharing one) :P
thats from the server running wordpress for me
Bob
Bob
it's still getting a visit every few days O.O
must be a spider
apparently uptime is 12 days
Bob
Bob
huh
that's... pretty high mem usage actually
what are you running?
04:18
its mostly php doing it
just wordpress ;p
Bob
Bob
...wut
my bandwagon VPS only has one day of uptime
I distinctly remember apache using a LOT more
Bob
Bob
that explains the mail I had
@JourneymanGeek heavily reduced maxes
04:20
I'm attracting spambots tho
Bob
Bob
also, daily cron restarts
that's after accessing ajaxplorer
@JourneymanGeek it does :P
;p
the 1gb vps might end up going with ngnix
Bob
Bob
lol
I'm currently considering nginx on my 512
NOT familiar with the host so, not likely journeymangeek.com will be moving there
Bob
Bob
oooor might grab the 1gb
@JourneymanGeek you actually got that domain? o.O
04:23
@Bob: planning on trying out discourse on it
lol
yeah
Bob
Bob
I'm still trying to think of a domain name D:
been trying to get the hang of blogging ;p
I also own lupinenet.com (which might get assigned to the 1gb instance) and lupinenet.co.uk (which I own for nostalgia's sake)
Bob
Bob
if anyone could suggest a name, that would be very much appreciated :P
wait. @JourneymanGeek round fluorescent tubes replaced with LEDs?
yup
lol
found a place that sells em by accident.
Bob
Bob
could you link me to a product page or something? :P
I suspect they might be what we're looking for
got a couple of circular fluorescent lights in the basement that need to be replaced
04:29
not sure if they sell outside here, or who the actual supplier is
Bob
Bob
@JourneymanGeek oh, I'll probably end up looking for a local supplier
and as I said, the brand is bloody ungooglable
;p
apparently they exist on fleabay
yeah, thats what we did
they also replaced our building lighting with LEDs ;p
Bob
Bob
gah
seems the only places I can find them are on.. well, alibaba
04:35
@Bob dobob.com is available :-)
Bob
Bob
and I'm not even looking for a specific brand
@Psycogeek O.o
maybe
@Bob What kinds of things you going to have on it, and what kind of people do you want to attract?
how about Pay-Bob.com :-)
Bob
Bob
@Psycogeek eh, probably a blog
@Bob computer type? linux type blog? server blog?
funny thing is the journeyman geek name was an accident ;p
I wanted something unique (and originally it was "The Journeyman Geek" ) partially cause I liked the name journeyman, and I go by geek
04:40
surprisingly Paybob.com is open
Bob
Bob
@Psycogeek iunno :p
probably a lot of focus on general computer shenanigans
!!xkcd new
arggg, i finnaly kinda settle on a socket 1155 and the Z77 boards have a lot of unhappy customers, lots of sata this and USB3 that issues.
I need all that stuff to work all the way around
Move over to haswell, and there are few people in that realm yet, and they are giving excuses for the bugs "oh its not all worked out yet" well then why is it for sale .
Intel still has not confirmed if thier chipset 9 (wtf that is) might not be for haswell which is 1150. i observe no hope on the horizon, if they still have not worked out the old bugs for the usb3 and all the sata ports working up to par.
Being 100% happy with my present motherboard, and it still having 10% higher ratings (now obsolete) than this.
Mabey people just whine to much now. but even the asus sabertooth Z77 only has 63% 5star.
failing drivers , onboard audio still sucks, DOAs, CPU socket connection points to flimsey, luckey to make it into the bios for the first 2 days of assembly, Virtu is useless. People giving 4 stars still when the first board they had was DOA.
If they send me a board and it is DOA, they are going to lose more stars than days it takes me to find out it was not my fault.

Japanese commercials are... weird.
yeah, they are
08:01
@JourneymanGeek Not every dog behaves like that you know... Far from it.
@Bob Well this one is at least too long. I wonder if Giga Pudding is synthesized in a lab... I want one anyway.
Bob
Bob
@Boris_yo apparently it's pretty standard length (and they get cut short for TV broadcast)
@TiagoEspinha Welcome to Root Access chat for Super Users! Please don't ask if you can ask or if anyone's around; just ask your question, and if anyone's free and interested they'll help.
@Bob I never saw such lengthy commercial for food product. Maybe it's standard length for Japanese TV. The more lenghy commercial is, the stronger is brainwashing effect. Do you hear sometimes commercial playing in your mind for no reason? How about some weird song you heard on radio? Brainwash.
Hi guys, I'm a Ph.D. student from the Netherlands. We're doing a study on the paints of integrating and maintaining integration with external APIs (i.e. web APIs). If you've ever been involved in this kind of task, could you spare 30~45 minutes of your time in a Skype call with me? As a reward, we're raffling a $50 Amazon voucher amongst the participants.
Since i don't understand your study dubject, i suppose I'm not concerned. ^^
08:13
Obviously that was meant to be "pains" and not "paints".
@Gr33n Hey there! You're pretty special, aren't you? :)
@Kwaio, no problem. I realize I'm looking for very specific people :)
Bob
Bob
@Boris_yo that's not the length played on TV
american commercials (full length) are about that long too
@TiagoEspinha That's interesting because long time ago another guy was doing study on analytical software he created for Stack Exchange network for statistical analysis. He also offered voucher which I won in the end because I helped his analysis.
Bob
Bob
@TiagoEspinha you might have more luck in the SO chatrooms
08:19
@Bob You are not familiar with API integration?
Bob
Bob
while there are quite a few programmers here, we cover a pretty broad range (and not all of us are, of course)
@Boris_yo eh, not enough for half an hour of material :P
@Bob Didn't know. Looks like I am used to Russian adverts. They are short, especially vodka ones...
08:44
Well, vodka pretty much advertises itself
@OliverSalzburg If so, why need adverts? To remind you are alcoholic and your ass belongs to [vodka name]?
Does anybody here buy apparel online rather than offline? How do you buy something you can't measure on yourself? Is that "crapshoot"?
You order 3 different sizes and send back for free the ones that won't fit.
@Boris_yo: see if they have a sizing guide
But i still won't buy that online because i'm way too lazy
@Kwaio Which means paying for shipping back?
@Kwaio I thought lazy people buy online actually? Didn't you mean this sentence the other way around?
08:54
heh
I think showing such a sensational picture of what is essentially a potential bomb is irresponsible and dangerous, whatever the text says, but it's for you to choose whether to keep it — harrymc 28 mins ago
harrymc seems to be throwing a huge fuss over this :/
@JourneymanGeek Does not always help. How many times you measured size that was supposed to be for you but are putting it on realized you need something smaller/bigger?
@Boris_yo: nearly never ;p
@JourneymanGeek And with shoes?
@Boris_yo: I'm a 12EE
its about the only way I get my size
@JourneymanGeek 12EE is specific size measure?
08:57
yeah
extra wide
@Boris_yo Most of the time, the returning fees are refunded.
@Boris_yo I prefer going to the store than going to the post office to send back stuff
@Boris_yo Illogical laziness
@Kwaio In USA maybe... And they refund by credit card, right?
@Boris_yo I don't know, I live in France, and have never actually tried online apparel stores.
Bob
Bob
screw it
@JourneymanGeek buying one of the WLS 1GB VPSes :P
Here in Israel people now exploit the opportunity of ordering from Amazon in USA since it turns 2x cheaper. They orient on certain measures: US and Europe sizes. They order tons of apparel guys! Local businesses complain about loss of revenue.
09:02
@Boris_yo, yeah, StackExchange is the place to come to nowadays when you need input from developers
@Bob, thanks! I'll give it a try.
@TiagoEspinha: tho, SU has a slightly wider/odder skillset
@Bob Why not buy VPS fir your home for one-time fee and stop bothering with passing monthly recurring over VPS you have no full control over?
@JourneymanGeek, true, but that's not necessarily a bad thing ;)
Bob
Bob
@Boris_yo 1. internet is expensive and slow here
2. internet is expensive and slow here
3. internet is expensive and slow here
4. it's hard to keep a good uptime if the power acts up
also, permanant IP address
Bob
Bob
09:03
5. hardware is far more expensive and hard to maintain
6. did I mention internet being expensive and slow here?
@JourneymanGeek strangely enough, my IP appears to be static...
@Bob: mine is, but its on IP blacklists ;p
Bob
Bob
o.o
@Bob Unless you buy enterprise level UPS?
Bob
Bob
@JourneymanGeek what are you doing over there? :P
@Boris_yo then the "one-time fee" rises into the thousands
also, battery replacements.
@JourneymanGeek Spammer?
09:05
@Bob: wierdly? Can't recieve e mails when I set up a server
Bob
Bob
also, you appeared to have ignored a key point, which I will repeat again for your benefit: internet is expensive and slow here
cause yanno, all dynamic addresses are spammers
Bob
Bob
@JourneymanGeek receiving emails has nothing to do with blacklists
that's just for outgoing...
@Bob: iirc thats what the error message said
Bob
Bob
o.o
09:06
I could SEND messages
hillariously
@Bob I got it, I got it. I didn't ignore but tried to offer power feed solution.
and yeah, all dynamic IP addresses tend to be blacklisted
Bob
Bob
@Boris_yo there's no point even considering those when there's more important issues
@Boris_yo: I'm paying 19 dollars a year for a 1gb vps ;p
Bob
Bob
enterprise-grade UPSes are expensive and far from cost and space efficient for a single machine at home
09:07
@BaljeetSingh Welcome to Root Access chat for Super Users! Please don't ask if you can ask or if anyone's around; just ask your question, and if anyone's free and interested they'll help.
(though I suspect there's enough folk here interested in such things to pool and start our own VPS provider ;p)
@JourneymanGeek Then there's a good chance it has crappy specs...
Bob
Bob
and the computer itself would cost about as much as 5-10 years of 'monthly' (actually, yearly) fees for the VPSes I'm looking at
@JourneymanGeek Carrier-grade NAT, maybe ?
Bob
Bob
@JourneymanGeek maybe :P
09:08
@Kwaio: dear god no
I just have port 80 blocked
Bob
Bob
eh
our ISP doesn't seem to care
@Bob: i can probably build/buy a computer thats good enough. Getting rackspace would be the tricky bit
Bob
Bob
That would make an astoundingly poor bomb. — Falcon Momot 7 mins ago
I like this guy :P
How to securely expose a local web server to the internet?
@Bob: friend of mine
09:10
@BaljeetSingh Port forwarding?
Bob
Bob
@JourneymanGeek unless you want to do something like @somequixotic and just set up some VPSes on a dedi
@BaljeetSingh "securely"?
@Bob: longer term idea, hell yes
@Boris_yo i found this site called ngrok, it works (but i dont't trust)
Bob
Bob
@JourneymanGeek looks suspiciously at @JourneymanGeek are you wearing socks?
looks
nope, what do you think I am, a collie?
09:11
@Bob password protected
Bob
Bob
@BaljeetSingh eh. that's normally a function of either your webserver or your application
for example, Apache httpd can do some level of http authentication
@BaljeetSingh: wait, you mean, you have a website on a home box, have port 80 blocked, and want people to access it?
Bob
Bob
you can also have authentication on the application level (e.g. wordpress, drupal, etc.)
@Journeyman no, i have done some work for client and want to show the work to client from my local server, don't want to upload the files to my hosting
@BaljeetSingh: any reason you can't just use dynamic DNS? some of them handle non standard ports gracefully
Bob
Bob
09:14
you'll probably find it easiest to configure http authentication and port forwarding, then
@JourneymanGeek he did say 'secure'
and firewall off all the things
@journeyman i sometime forget things that i have done before, thanks
client-side SSL authentication ?
@Bob: secure has many meanings ;p
Bob
Bob
also, last I checked dyndns was just for ip - not ports
09:14
Why when I shake my smartphone, it turns off? Doesn't shut down but does hard power off? Can it be due to SD card gets loose due to shock?
Bob
Bob
more so if you happen to have a local NAT router
@Kwaio far too complicated for his purposes, I'd say
secure: go to hell (no need now)
Bob
Bob
@Boris_yo more likely the battery
@Bob: there's a feature on some providers that lets you use a non standard port on your router, and not have to explicitly set the port
I can expose, say 8080 to the world, but my dynamic dns provider 'hides' that
Bob
Bob
@JourneymanGeek that would either require an external server, or the dyndns client running on the router
09:15
@Bob: oh, I introduced falcon to serverfault
@Bob Battery has plastic tray that hooks it firmly. You think it moves?
Bob
Bob
@Boris_yo no clue.
@Bob: freedns.afraid.org I was probably thinking this
@JourneymanGeek found new service ngrok, provide password protection too (love it). Earlier thought, it doesn't support password protection. Just want to know, is my data secure with this?
@BaljeetSingh: ok, lets clarify
You want $client to see it, and no one else sees it secure?
09:18
definitely
also my site e.g. is on localhost/hello
i want only localhost/hello to open
not backward acces to my localhost
ooh
I'd guess you would use virtualhosts for that
some one told me to use virtual host, but i don't know how this will work in this matter
how?
@BaljeetSingh: virtualhosts would probably make it hard to go backwards
let me show you!
09:19
ok
and
lupinenet.com are on the same server
you can't get from jmg.com to lupinenet.com
since I used virtualhosts with different document roots
you'd of course, need a domain name for this
Bob
Bob
@JourneymanGeek your random file server? :P
Bob
Bob
@JourneymanGeek easy to get a free domain. dot.tk is going well.
might be using the domain for something else in the future
@Bob: hehe. Lupinenet predates the journeymangeek name ;p
09:22
@Bob Do you see the tray that holds battery?
Bob
Bob
I'm still trying to think of a good name :P
@Bob Never use free domains if you're serious.
Bob
Bob
@Boris_yo couse not
but for a once time thing to do a quick demo?
why the hell not.
@Bob You want free domain for creating quick memos?
Why I hate updating Android apps? Because I risk getting crappy update that will ruin application. Then reverting back is something that Google Play does not offer currently.
@Bob Oh it's demo yeah...
@Bob There were once .CC domains popular but due to them being exploited over and over by spammers they were de-indexed from Google FYI.
Bob
Bob
nope
that was just co.cc (no idea who was running it)
and they were reindexed at some point
.cc is a country TLD
.co.cc was a privately run domain on top of .cc
09:37
.co.cc got shut down at some point too
Bob
Bob
@JourneymanGeek yea
but, again, it was privately run
@Bob Right co.cc and I hated them due to their extensions and length. They were at one time dominating initial Google pages until Google got smarter. And what these domains contained? Malware, extorting software under question, fake virus scanners etc.
Bob
Bob
@Boris_yo you can do that under any domain
there's no rule saying those had to be long or had to be badware
@Bob Very long domain name, ending with co.cc always refused red flag to me. I often stumbled on badware that was concealed from site owner and worked behind the scenes.
@Bob Do what? Add another extension?
lol
my first domain was lupinenet.co.cc
then abandoned it for .co.uk (which I dumped when I had trouble and couldn't be arsed. Was available years later ;p)
09:45
@JourneymanGeek How much dollars per year for that domain?
7 dollars a year for .co.uk
10 for .com
Bob
Bob
@JourneymanGeek lots of $3 specials though :P
@JourneymanGeek Do you use article directories?
what is an article directory?
09:48
@JourneymanGeek ezinearticles.com
@Boris_yo: that looks dodgy
@JourneymanGeek Elaborate on dodgy please?
Bob
Bob
@Boris_yo It makes his dog senses act up.
@Boris_yo: it smells odd? ;p
Bob
Bob
I personally wouldn't go near such a site with a ten foot pole.
09:54
lol?
On the World Wide Web, a link farm is any group of web sites that all hyperlink to every other site in the group. Although some link farms can be created by hand, most are created through automated programs and services. A link farm is a form of spamming the index of a search engine (sometimes called spamdexing or spamexing). Other link exchange systems are designed to allow individual websites to selectively exchange links with other relevant websites and are not considered a form of spamdexing. Search engines require ways to confirm page relevancy. A known method is to examine for ...
@Bob Because you aren't confident in validity of information?
@JourneymanGeek May I know what made you conclude it's a link farm?
@Boris_yo You might catch internet aids from such a website

@Boris_yo: smells funny
@OliverSalzburg I wear iCondom.

09:56
Smart
@JourneymanGeek Dang your dog senses! I am human and I don't get that feeling.
@OliverSalzburg You just inspired me...
@Boris_yo: I think the stock photo userpics would be a giveaway
@JourneymanGeek Where you see stock photos? On the right where authors are? To me it looks like their authentic photos...
You need to learn to smell like a dog ;p
@JourneymanGeek I prefer to smell like a shark. I meant I want perception of shark.
At the end, I misinterpreted sentence as "being charged". You won’t close this book without being charged!
10:13
"You won’t close this book without being changed!" Could also mean that it bored you to death
@OliverSalzburg Is one of possibilities but author doesn't state how changed I will be. That's probably to conceal the fact of how bored I will be?
@OliverSalzburg Success is a conspiracy: ezinearticles.com/?Success-Is-a-Conspiracy&id=7865243

@JourneymanGeek Little you know, @Bob wanted to invite you to his mansion, to swimming pool with chicks. Well, better luck next time.
