is there any method for comparing two strings in windows, in like command prompt?

just compare something simple like 4df5df6s5a33floweriu65f65 with another string like it?

Ash

Now I know how to do this : I will follow excactly what @HackToHell did.

Does anyone have a spare VPS that has ~1 gigs of space ? I'll download goldfish there and I'll rsync it onto my computer .

@JourneymanGeek this is the part where you jumps in and says yes.

@Bob or you could do that ;p

sammyg

PS C:\Windows\system32> $a = "HELLO"
PS C:\Windows\system32> $b = "Hello"
PS C:\Windows\system32> $a -eq $b
True
PS C:\Windows\system32> $b = "OLLEHO"
PS C:\Windows\system32> $a -eq $b
False
PS C:\Windows\system32>

how do i make it case sensitive?

Bob

@Ash Hm?

Sure.

What do you need?

Ash

goldfish it is then : android.googlesource.com/kernel/goldfish.

I can't clone them .

Bob

@sammyg ss64.com/ps/syntax-compare.html

sammyg

@bob found it

PS C:\Windows\system32> $a = "HELLO"
PS C:\Windows\system32> $b = "Hello"
PS C:\Windows\system32> $a -eq $b
True
PS C:\Windows\system32> $a -ceq $b
False
PS C:\Windows\system32>

nice

HackToHell

16:30

@Ash Actually I have 1 gigs of space

Bob

@Ash you got a pubkey for me?

HackToHell

Oh well use @bob's vps

Ash

@Bob sorry , I don't Understand.

Bob

oh god

just how do you intend to use rsync?

pubkey => public key

Ash

I barely used rsync .I dont know how this works.

Bob

16:34

uh.

@HackToHell you can walk him through it if you want :P

goldfish has finished downloading

I have the account all set up

Ash

@Bob what..!

Bob

@Ash how do you intend to download it?

rsync, scp, sftp...

I can set up http if you want

Ash

@Bob I think I will go with http.

Or I learn rsync :p

Bob

@Ash compressed? split up? just plain?

the whole thing is ~700MB

Ash

@Bob plain.

Bob

16:38

@Ash so you don't even want it compressed? O_O

why not just git clone then?

Ash

@Bob It gets stuck at around 200Mib.and I have to do it all over again.

Internet connection here sucks.

Bob

@Ash then you probably want something that does connection resume

Ash

Yeah , But with Git you have to do it all over again , isn't it ?

but I can always resume with http.

Bob

@Ash can you extract xz?

Ash

Yeah , I will try and do it.

@Bob got it.

tar -xJf file.pkg.tar.xz ??

HackToHell

16:48

@Bob Oh well I'm too late anyway

Bob

@Ash You should be able to just xf

J will work too

Compressed 700 MB to 33 MB LOL

Ash

Black magic ??

HackToHell

Oh whee time to check if the init.rc script I wrote works

@Bob wow

Git y u no compress

Bob

@Ash phoebe.vulpin.com/goldfish.tar.xz

@HackToHell Heh.

@JourneymanGeek finished with yours yet?

If not, I might as well try now, considering I've just set up the other webserver

HackToHell

Nope, i think he is asleep now

fuck, messed up.

Bob

16:53

@HackToHell what was the link?

HackToHell

Phone doesn't boot

Ash

@Bob thanks.

HackToHell

@Bob one sec

Bob

crap

@Ash don't download it yet

I'm testing right now, but the compress might have failed

explains the 33 MB :P

HackToHell

repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-11.0

and then followed by the usual repo sync

Ash

16:55

@Bob tell me when its ready.

Bob

@Ash sure

I'm trying to use pxz, which might be broken :\

Ash

@HackToHell just one question , what would you do with it. (Like I'm Five :p)

or write a blog about it later :p

Bob

@Ash Yea, looks like it's still gonna be about 600-650 MB

Ash

Ok.That will do :)

Bob

17:10

@Ash phoebe.vulpin.com/goldfish.7z

@HackToHell repo?

Ash

@Bob thanks again.

Bob

@Ash to decompress... if you're on linux, install p7zip-full

if on windows, grab 7zip

Ash

ok @Bob

Bob

uh.

@HackToHell the repo init thing is asking for a name :P

you wanna pick one?

or I could just give you ssh access

HackToHell

I don't know why it asks

Bob

17:14

@HackToHell should I use HackToHell?

HackToHell

I prefer the latter

Ok I suppose

Bob

annnnnd it wants an email -_-

I used [email protected] :P

HackToHell

I don't use it ;p

Never mind, I don't think it's needed

I'm not going to commit anything :D :P

Bob

@HackToHell whatever, I'll give you ssh

I'm trusting you to not abuse this

pubkey?

allquixotic

@Bob never trust a cat

HackToHell

17:22

@Bob I will not !

@allquixotic :(

I'll start the download tomorrow, I kinda fucked up my phone

Bob

@HackToHell paste as code please

HackToHell

oops

2 mins up

one sec

Bob

I hope you got that.

HackToHell

Err I didn't .-.

Bob

...

HackToHell

17:26

Sorry .-.

Got it !

Bob

@HackToHell Does it work?

@HackToHell lemme know when you finish with it so I can clean up a bit

Ash

I will too

HackToHell

17:45

@Bob I'll try later ... nothing is working in my phone

Bob

@HackToHell ...try with your computer

Ash

17:57

@Bob just one question , I can usually download files at about 120KBps but this file only at around 15KBps.Can you do something about it ?

Bob

o.O

@Ash this is hosted in the US...

@Ash you can test with this wholesaleinternet.net/speedtest/100MB.zip

I can get about 270kB/s from the same server, same file

so, yea. maybe this just won't work for you, I dunno

Ash

@Bob

Bob

@Ash you could try one of the parallel download programs

idk

Ash

ok

allquixotic

or set up a spot instance on amazon ec2

Oliver Salzburg

@Ash Nice pic!

Ash

thanks @OliverSalzburg.

I wanted a something like you people had , but ended up with this.

Oliver Salzburg

The only bad thing about changing your gravatar is that it's changed everywhere

Ash

actually it was a ヅ

Stupid DHL phone queue thing

Apparently, I got a parcel today. I got an email telling me about it being delivered today

This morning, I get an email that the parcel was left with my neighbor and that further details were left on a card in my mail box

But there was neither a card nor a parcel

And when I open the tracking site, they ask for your ZIP for you to get detailed information. But when I put in my ZIP, it says it's wrong...

So... wtf

Probably someone sent something to an old address of mine and one of my old neighbors considered it a freebie

HackToHell

I'll see tomorrow @bob, im sleepy ...

Oh. apparently we're trying Cloudflare again....

Michael Frank

20:27

@OliverSalzburg Or the current neighbour took the parcel, then ran over to your letterbox and ate the card! :o

Oliver Salzburg

@MichaelFrank Turns out it was the Glossy Box for my sister :\

Which is some girly thing you get delivered every month and I gave it to her as a gift for her birthday

And I get the notification emails :\

allquixotic

@OliverSalzburg Soon, Google and Amazon will think you're female :D

good ol' targeted ads

Oliver Salzburg

@allquixotic Don't get me started on that shit!

A lot of that stuff is simply based on IP and I used to get tons of girly ads because I shared a connection with my girlfriend

Every other Youtube ad was about hair color products and shit

Drove me nuts

Braiam

> We’re busy breaking Super User by trying to migrate it over to CloudFlare.

I knew it!

allquixotic

20:47

@Braiam you getting errors again?

Mokubai

21:06

Wait, @allquixotic, you're not getting errors on the main site! ?!?!

allquixotic

@Mokubai not yet

Mokubai

It's been flakey and basically unusable for the last hour or so for me. Just came back a few mins ago.

in The Hangar, 16 mins ago, by Bret Copeland

just being honest, talking about this bores me. I'm a dev. If you have complaints about our infrastructure, you should send it to an SRE.

tried bringing it up with said employee ;p

in The Hangar, 13 mins ago, by Bret Copeland

@ratchetfreak maybe your packets are being delivered by boat.

Mokubai

Intriguing...

allquixotic

21:21

*checks to see if Bob is around*

I love "The Sentence" feature of Beats Music

complete the sentence: I'm <at location> & feel like <what you feel like doing> by <who you're with, or 'myself'> to <genre>

>__>

"I'm at work & feel like chilling out by myself to pop" --> Destiny's Child

Mokubai

Huh. Sounds kinda neat. Just don't let any teenage boys near it... "I'm in my bedroom & feel like having a good time with myself to hard rock"

allquixotic

@Mokubai lol

what music do you like @Mokubai ?

Mokubai

Too many different types, rock, pop, metal, dubstep... These days I seem to be listening to a bit of k/jpop...

@allquixotic, you got any particular favourites?

allquixotic

@Mokubai yea ;p

Mokubai

Like?

allquixotic

21:33

@Mokubai Keane, Sting, Angels & Airwaves, Ben Folds Five, Boyce Avenue, Oasis, Ingrid Michaelson, My Chemical Romance, Sylvan, Poets of the Fall... just to name all the English ones ;p many in Spanish also

Mokubai

Personally I try not to only listen to one particular type of music cause there's always something cool around the corner.

allquixotic

@Mokubai well yeah

I'm multilingual so I'm always listening to Spanish/French/Italian songs too

Andrea Bocelli and Charles Aznavour are kinda my gateway into that... from there, Placido Domingo, Julio Iglesias, Juan Bau, ...

Mokubai

Most of those are pretty good artists...

Bocelli I like, I just have to be in the mood to listen to him.

allquixotic

@Mokubai I'm always in the mood for Bocelli ;p

Mokubai

@allquixotic I barely speak English, let alone another couple of languages

allquixotic

21:37

I like so many artists tho. I keep a running "Starred" playlist on Spotify of fun songs I discover while searching

there are two types of artists for me: artists that I like a song by them, and artists that I can listen to their entire album(s) on repeat for an entire day

Mokubai

I know a little french and German, though it's been years since I needed to use them. Picked up a couple of words of Japanese here and there...

@allquixotic I find it difficult to listen to single albums these days

allquixotic

some examples of the former: Jamie Cullum, Chris Botti, Katherine Jenkins, Natalie Cole, Dyango, Leonardo Favio, Counting Crows, Builders, Sia...

the ones I first mentioned I can listen to entire albums on repeat <3

Mokubai

Wait. I thought I could follow people on Spotify. ...

Seems not

allquixotic

@Mokubai you can ;D

Mokubai

Either that or the mobile app just sucks

allquixotic

21:41

that ^

Mokubai

Which wouldn't surprise me, cause it does. It sucks badly

Dawn you autocorrect! When I want to say something sucks then I mean it sucks! It does not mean it had socks!!

allquixotic

lol

open.spotify.com/user/1235454171/starred

Oliver Salzburg

@allquixotic What's there to lol about?

Mokubai

How can a paid service have such a poor app?

Aha!

Oliver Salzburg

23:30

This was fun to make

I like vector graphics

And now it's already so late :(
