@JourneymanGeek Seems easy enough! :P eviltrout.com/2014/01/22/embedding-discourse.html

Journeyman Geek

@Bob discourse is pretty heavy in terms of resource usage, and is pretty involved in setting up and running ;p

Bob

@JourneymanGeek I think I can spare the resources :P

Journeyman Geek

@Bob: minimum of 1gb ram on the host. for a forum?

Bob

Yea... I think I can spare the resources :P

Journeyman Geek

@Bob: and the setup process is slightly complex, and assumes you're not using the server for anything else ;p

It is, thank $deity, well documented

Bob

08:02

@JourneymanGeek That's why I have everything running in vservers :P

Heck, the site itself is going to run on a vserver behind nginx reverse proxying on another vserver

I'm heavily abusing containers.

Heavily considering it.

@JourneymanGeek I'll probably try Isso first.

My main concern would be whether it can filter spam or not.

holy shit

@JourneymanGeek Hosted Ghost is... expensive: ghost.org/pricing

Journeyman Geek

08:40

5 dollars a month? That isn't VERY bad

unless you're having more instances, but at some point...

also for spam filtering akimset + wordpress works well ;p

@Bob: what language/db is ghost?

Bob

@JourneymanGeek For 10,000 views...

@JourneymanGeek node.js, I forgot what db

Journeyman Geek

That is quite a lot

Bob

@JourneymanGeek could be used up in a few minutes, if you get linked from somewhere

then your blog is down until you pay more

no thanks.

@JourneymanGeek SQLite, apparently.

Journeyman Geek

thats potentially quite light

Bob

@JourneymanGeek You can also chuck it on MySQL or Postgres if you want :P

Journeyman Geek

08:47

lol. postgres or sqlite is good

Bob

I'll probably use SQLite

should'nt be too hard to migrate to Postgres if it ever grows... which it probably won't

Journeyman Geek

sqlite has no server, postgres is tiny

Bob

@JourneymanGeek I know that :P

Journeyman Geek

I know that ;p

Bob

xD

Journeyman Geek

08:49

if I had a node.js instance for anything other than dispatch proxy....

(and I run that on my desktop ;p)

Bob

@JourneymanGeek Hm?

Journeyman Geek

lol

I tend to stick to stuff than runs on PHP cause most of what I have running anyway runs on it

Bob

urk

problem: isso runs on python, ghost runs on node, both need their own port...

@JourneymanGeek eww php :P

Journeyman Geek

yeah ;p

it may be shitty, but there's a load of stuff I use on it

(rutorrent, ttrss, wordpress....)

Qt Creator is awesome.

It's simple and powerful.

pokes at path of exile

I've heard good things about it, but its taking ages to download

Journeyman Geek

09:52

ahh finally!

Bob

10:04

@JourneymanGeek Ghost is beautiful :D

Bob

10:27

weeeee

Journeyman Geek

meh, this keeps disconnecting

Bob

blog.vulpin.com

:D

I need a different theme, though.

@JourneymanGeek what keeps what? :P

Heh, I like how the "share this post" thing isn't actually linked to anything :P

Journeyman Geek

Bob

o.O

Bob

10:52

o.O

@JourneymanGeek you there?

Journeyman Geek

kinda ;p

Bob

:\

Could you do a tracert for me?

Journeyman Geek

yeag

from my system or a VPS?

Bob

@JourneymanGeek your system

Journeyman Geek

one moment

Bob

11:00

(please scrub the last hop, and your first few as well - I'm only interested in the cogent ones)

Journeyman Geek

pastebin.com/sYAT9qyV

Bob

@JourneymanGeek thanks

damn, it's through he

I'm trying to find another cogent trace :P

@JourneymanGeek is it alright if I share that trace with support?

Journeyman Geek

no problem

Bob

thanks!

Journeyman Geek

afk a bit. If it helps, my ISP is starhub

Bob

11:11

@JourneymanGeek yea, I'm mostly concerned with cogent at the moment. thanks, though

oh for fuck's sake

it's fixed itself -_-

@JourneymanGeek looks like I'm not filing a ticket today :P

I'll hold onto the traces for next time, though

Journeyman Geek

12:08

Np

Bob

13:00

damn

as nice as ghost is in some ways

it needs search

it needs tagging

I might switch to WP (@JourneymanGeek)

hm

it comes with RSS, but no sitemap

Journeyman Geek

13:17

what is as nice as ghost?

@Bob: WP has one thing in its favour - mindshare ;p

allquixotic

13:44

@HackToHell that has to be deafeningly loud

Journeyman Geek

14:17

@allquixotic: google has earplug dispensers outside their data centers for a reason

;p

Journeyman Geek

14:32

heh

turns out POE has a hidden local server

I'll try it tommorrow, its a load of fun outside being so damned unreliable

I will probably break out the orbweaver if it dosen't keep crashing ;)

I'm probably being slightly more charitable since Its free. I was much too teed off at DIII when I had much smaller cnnection issues ;p

fuck you quora admin

jokerdino

What did you have?

Alraxite

Would CodeBlocks be a good choice for a C++ IDE? I'm learning C++. Visual C++ is over 700 MB and I don't think I'll end up using most of the stuff it offers.

CodeBlocks is only 30 MB.

Well, I mean, I wouldn't require the extra 600 MB stuff that VC++ has to offer, right?

Nvm, I'll go for CodeBlocks then.

There's word in English about consition where you feel sleepy. This word is something like drowny?

Drowsy!

Alraxite

Lethargic?

Yeah, that too.

Boris_yo

Yes. Does that happen to you when you ate meal on lunch?

Alraxite

Not really. Though it's a common occurrence among many.

Just google, you'll find plenty of results.

Ah actually, I was looking at only the IDE. With the compiler and the debugger, the download is at a 100 MB.

@Boris_yo wow considering all the chit chat you engage in, you are actually doing a lot

Q: What's with "space shuttle" IDE cables?

I was recently going through an old box of junky computer components and I happened to notice that one of the old dusty IDE cables had the words "SPACE SHUTTLE" written on it (amid the other somewhat less cryptic information, like "300V" and "105°C"). Then I googled around a little bit and I fou...

hard-drive ide

Yo , my cables been to space :-)

Only if it had 4 layer redundancy , Huge interlockers that connect and disconnect with klugey gloves on, made with pure copper wire and tested 50 ways for certification.

Psycogeek

@hennes superuser.com/a/735288/98855 ""Most cables between a wall socket and a computer are interchangeable."" Suuuureee :-) they use that same connection here to our 120V PSUs and switchable PSUs. Luckily i cant plug that wall end in any 240V places around here :-)

Hennes

The post never specified which country and I consiously added default EU power values. expecting a comment on it from the OP

Also, I added an arrow to the relevant part of the picture

I could have snipped off the other end of the cable, but I was to lazy to do that

Psycogeek

Much and much stuff is now supporting both voltages, but it is rather odd to have the same connection for 2 completely different things.

Hennes

I shuld have checked if sqrt(2) * 240 is 400 though

In my mind 220v and 380v are still 'natural'

Psycogeek

Naw the eropean voltages are the weird ones :-) Us americans have the right voltage :-)

Hennes

It has been ages since we moved from 220 (normal) and 380 (special 3 phase industrial) to 240v

h,mm. sqrt (2) * 240 is 339.

Apparently my knowledge of AC is lacking somehow

Psycogeek

23:41

Here there are so many of those cables, really do not know what device they originally belonged with . Very handy when some are longer and shorter, for cable management.

@Hennes fase is spelled Phase Like a Phaser.

Hennes

Yeah. Dutch "fase". English "phase". Dunglinsh: if (random()) then one else theother;

Fixed however. Thank you for noticing.
