@Dave It doesn't take that long surely haha. I don't understand why large organisation even use them. I presume it's due to to bandwidth concerns but, I can't see why! Using Explicit proxy's just involves the client sending a PAC request to the server and, it's done - I think.

@Dave too much Jargon ahhhh. I only know of port 80 lol. I'm feeble.

Can a moderator deal with this guy?

he has rolled the question back 3 times so far.

@barlop - So at this point what is your question? Seems like you can self-answer that question at this point.

@Ramhound I stopped at 'I have anger issues'

@Ramhound hahahahaha he did $1000 worth of damage over a notification. That's too funny

"You could have just asked me to edit it. but editing MY post and changing it's structure it what really pissed me off. As I said, I have anger issues, dont mess with me."

LOL

I seriously just hurt myself by rolling on the gound, hitting my head on a brick wall, passing out for 5 minutes and forgetting i did so and continued to laugh out loud.

@Ramhound wtf. Why am I unable to comment on the post?

Because you're not leet enough

@qasdfdsaq I blame @random for that -.-

you have enough reputation? or is that a stupid question because you changed your name again and i don't regonzied your name

@qasdfdsaq my last question got removed </3

@Ramhound tell him to put his computer in the tumble dryer ;)

I gave him an answer..

@Dave you got called out! Look at the comment below it hahah

i saw

i only answered his question with an answer that he can relate to.

lol

which is totaly not acceptable and will deleted by the community eentualy

@Dave Link?

great job.

@NateKerkhofs has lost his chill

@Dave - You don't think there is a way to do it, then say that, don't troll the person

@Dave ahah seems fair

@R.Doto Why do you call me out on it?

@Dave At least I replied with a reasonable answer

Even though he probably didn't deserve it

Ah, thought there wasnt an answer for that.. I guess i was wrong which is why my answer was that he has to deal with it.

lol

@Dave If there isn't a solution say that don't troll the person

@Dave The answer is ignore Ramhound

lmfao

I hope that first line of my answer wasn't too cynical?

I can be nasty too.

Nah, you got it spot on Nate

@Ramhound I'm not sure how to flag this: offensive or moderator?

@NateKerkhofs - Flag the question?

@NateKerkhofs Flag Ramhound as offensive.

@NateKerkhofs I flagged rude or abusive.

no, your comment

about the roach turds

my comment seriously?

@NateKerkhofs I was messing with you,man ;)

Wait roach turds< I didn't see no roach turds

@qasdfdsaq @Ramhound Why don't you just ignore each other or find your own playground

First time I log onto chat people are talking about genitals, second time people are on about roach turds.

WTF is this? SuperUser chat or KinkyUser chat?

@DavidPostill I did months ago

Roach turds might have a good macronutrient profile. Good deal.

@qasdfdsaq wait, this isn't kinkyuser chat!? Damn . I'm lost.

which sounds even less appealing than shit bugs

@NateKerkhofs debatable; )

...wat.

@ArtOfCode I think I've gone off SU chat forever.

And yes, I did specifically google the scientific superorder of roaches so I could sound smart

@NateKerkhofs hahaha

@qasdfdsaq I just arrived, and I'm having pretty serious doubts about staying longer than necessary ;)

All these upstarts coming in here trolling everybody and talking about all kinds of offensive nonsense that's off-topic and annoying... sigh... I liked it when RA was a nice peaceful place for tech enthusiasts

@ArtOfCode woah. That hit me right in feelings

@allquixotic ...

@allquixotic You are aware that chat rooms are one of the few places we're allowed to go off-topic, right?

@allquixotic It wasn't me! I never upvote people.

@R.Doto anytime...

@NateKerkhofs Allowed, yes, but being unnecessarily crass and immature is not something we've traditionally been in RA. And it's on the very fringe of what might be considered tolerable, too (might even cross that line in some peoples' opinion).

Oh, don't worry. There are far worse rooms.

He's probably talking about me. Offensive nonsense is my middle name.

@ArtOfCode I'm wholly uninterested in seeing RA devolve into The Bridge.

(or what TCR used to be before everyone left)

WTF is the bridge

@qasdfdsaq Gaming chat. Notorious.

Though that wasn't the one I was thinking of.

@ArtOfCode Is it on StackExchange?

Checked SO meta recently?

@qasdfdsaq Yep.

Ta

I should go check it out

I just gave him an answer.. It was a good unprofessional answer.

@ArtOfCode No, and now I never will. :) Thanks for the... info.

@allquixotic To be fair, it's probably waaay off the front page by now. -103 last time I checked.

-103?! holy moly

@ArtOfCode Link plz

that might be a downvote record

Whatever managed to hit -103, I wanna beat it

There are a lot of flags coming from this room...

@NathanOsman lol

@NathanOsman The starred list should give you an idea why

Look, this conversation is now drawing flags. I suggest the topic is changed.

Yes, please change the topic.

And heh, I was wondering why 3 mods turned up in here all at once

Well, hello @ArtOfCode.

Um, was something flagged?

Make that four

Please attempt to not inflame the situation more...

@KitZ.Fox Evening. Mod meetup in a different room now, is it?

xD

Calling people out doesn't really help.

@ArtOfCode Guess it's your turn. I got the invite, but late for the party. I brought cookies though.

Foreign mods usually don't come in here unless something is flagged for mod attention.

@hichris123: "My comment was a unprofessional response. There's no real way that I know of in order to turn off these messages, which was I was letting the OP know that he needs to get used to it. "

;) @qasdfdsaq ;) all these stars

@bwDraco Yeah I think about a dozen things got flagged

I think it started around here: chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/25861083#25861083

@KitZ.Fox My turn? I'm going to say it's Journeyman's turn, given this room's on his site :)

@hichris123: i did remove my response though.

Let's all take a deep breath. Calm down. And let's discuss something else.

I can't remember the last time I was over here. I forgot how clean the color scheme is.

It's like 5AM in JmG's timezone though

@NathanOsman It's 5:39 AM in his time zone, UTC+8.

@ArtOfCode Oh right. I forgot.

@KitZ.Fox I never get chat drama on my sites :(

@Dave I... actually wasn't referring to you.

Oh wheew

Gotta say this is the most mods I've ever seen in one channel at a time.

@ArtOfCode Sorry. Want me to send some folks over?

@qasdfdsaq I don't think you do... that would involve getting this chatroom nuked.

Ooh another one. Wow :D

Although if you wanna apologize for whatever bad thing you did, feel free @Dave. ;)

@barlop seems like we're only two that can have controlled banter ;)

@KitZ.Fox Heh. Maybe not, my lot not giving me trouble is probably a good thing.

@ArtOfCode Nuking this chatroom? On SO meta? I don't understand the connection

!!/ping

Lets me deal with everyone else's drama instead.

@bwDraco pong

Mod raid apparently

@qasdfdsaq pfft. this is nothing.

@R.Doto i'm not normally described as controlled - apart from once when I was wrestling a girl.. which was only because I didn't want to be accused of rape.

@qasdfdsaq So here's a rundown: the C++ Lounge decided it was a good idea to have inappropriate conversations, and then attack the mods who tried to help solve the issue.

@ChatBotJohnCavil human?

@hichris123 This chatroom has been a friendly place for tech enthusiast discourse for years. It's also the official Super User chatroom. To understand who is the problem (namely, people using offensive language, crass statements and general trolling), one only needs examine who has most recently begun "contributing" to the chat over the past few hours.

@ArtOfCode sounds familiar

@allquixotic Me me me!

If there are several new users who have decided to come in here and try to make a mess of this place, there is a simple solution: remove the offending users.

@R.Doto There are a lot of people in favour of nuking their room right now.

@allquixotic am I included? :(

@allquixotic Lemme go read the transcript.

Wait no, I just walked in at inoppurtune moments

No. We haven't attempted to bring it back to topic yet.

Ahh my new rom just finished compiling.. (exciting)

A lot of the time users keep posting stupid pictures, it takes up a massive amount of space and clouds any dialogue

that isn't happening at the moment

@ArtOfCode So the -103 post on SO meta is related to some clusterf*** in the C++ Lounge?

@qasdfdsaq Precisely.

so i've seen the chat in a much worse state and nobody complaining about it

Mmkay.

TOPIC CHANGE! Did anybody else think the 'Mr.Robot' TV series was great!?

Guess I'll avoid it then. I quite like the mods in this room. Namely JmG.

@R.Doto This is a computer chat

@KitZ.Fox yummy munch munch

unfortunately it's like in tennis.. most people there aren't interested in the tennis

I'm not familiar with Mr. Robot, @R.Doto. I'd like to hear more about it.

@barlop it was about a TV series on Computers and networking ;)

@KitZ.Fox: its a really good tV series

OMG, Clippy. Hilarious.

Was it like reality TV about sysads?

rottentomatoes.com/tv/mr-robot/s01 @KitZ.Fox

So...IT people as heroes?

@KitZ.Fox Think... Arrow, but an IT geek instead.

Awesome.

Although I prefer Jessica Jones.

@MichaelFrank beautifully said

Marvel >> DC. (imo)

I like Arrow

JJ is really good. I've watched the first 5 or so episodes.

My wife loves it as well, which is a bonus.

@KitZ.Fox They had that war in Mos not long ago... how it didn't result in another Shogging I don't know.

I watched the first three, then holidays and I was like whut? and damn.

@KitZ.Fox it was really accurate though! Gives you a buzz haha

@R.Doto Oh snap, like saving the world with regex? I love that stuff.

It makes me crazy when TV shows just make stuff up that sounds plausible ... unless you actually know anything about it.

@ArtOfCode Oop. I shouldn't have brought it up. I was not trying to be controversial.

@qasdfdsaq @R.Doto Oh snap, like saving the world with sex? I love that stuff. (source)

@KitZ.Fox shrug nobody challenged it, so...

@MichaelFrank BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

@KitZ.Fox oh no hah. It was more "crush the world's largest largest corporation and then earth implodes and we evolve into lizards" type of show

Oooh. Even better.

@R.Doto I didn't watch that far... but I don't remember any lizards. o.O

I could totally create a GUI in visual basic, but I'm not sure how that's relevant to tracking whatever thing in real time.

@MichaelFrank hahahahah, I can never take CSI seriously.

@KitZ.Fox The GUI allows you to enter an IP address!

@qasdfdsaq Yeah. I could do that too. I could totally mask the input as well, to enforce input validation.

It would probably be more effective to write a query against the datasource though.

@MichaelFrank it's complicated tehe

@KitZ.Fox What about if all the input was also in stars, so that nobody could see what you're doing over your shoulder?

@MichaelFrank Don't be silly. If it was all stars, then everyone would know your password.

hunter2

@KitZ.Fox Don't swear at me! Good thing I have maturity filters on!

SELECT case when IPAddress = 'Dave' THEN NULL else IPaddress END as IP_Address from Ipaddresses where address_type = 'Malicious evildoer'

@KitZ.Fox where address_type = 'neighbours cat' sounds better

@Dave Nice.

;]

Hmm. Should have done that against the user id. Better roll that one back.

@qasdfdsaq - I apologize for my comment.

On the other hand, Daves are generally pretty cool...

@Ramhound that was romantic. I think I might cry.

We have a TV channel named Dave

@qasdfdsaq ew TV

Wasn't there a show named Dave?

@KitZ.Fox There's a local show here called Step Dave.

@KitZ.Fox Dave's show?

Dave Chapelle

Evidentally my kernel changes with marshmallow 6.0 for my s4 still didnt fix my microphone issue after recompiling and installing.. ;{ -- FML

@allquixotic and @DavidPostill See my ping in Ask a Superuser Moderator

@Dave new microphone? ;)

@R.Doto, It works fine.. It's just being stupid :[ w marshmallow

@Dave ...yep, I'm not going to M :P

@allquixotic Eh, for just an AP it doesn't really need to do much.

@Bob: I think its alsamixer related

:/

so, I'm at debian 7.9 on several webserver and mailserver machines I maintain, how much crap will the dist-upgrade to jessie hand me by now? anyone experienced in that? I'm mainly running nginx with TLS only, php5-fpm, dovecot, postfix, mysql

@Julius, not sure.. I compile everything from source though.

@Julius: I created my own distro recently which is essentially a LFS distro that runs off of USB. Its nice! it even has the new kde plasma desktop on it.

@Julius: However just getting the darn thing to boot took ages due to the amount of time required to compile everything.

@Dave OK, this is for a hosting company I work for, and I've had to compile openssl and nginx from sources already, so those will be in trouble :/

@bwDraco - I am leaving. Enjoy that conversation. I was trying to only involve moderators. I appreciate the help.

@Ramhound: I'm sorry about this. Nobody should be making insults of this sort towards anyone.

oh and postfix and clamsmtpd were from source too I think, shit, I have to check all those

I'd really want to understand why @qasdfdsaq has been engaging in this kind of conduct towards you, but I might not be able to help.

< still uses qmail+clamscan+rblsmtpd+courierimap

OH spamassassin too+vpopmail

@bwDraco What the huh what?

@qasdfdsaq: It seems you've been posting comments that are being interpreted as harassment by @Ramhound. Can you explain why?

At what point does the debian upgrade become obligatory anyway?

@bwDraco No idea, I haven't said anything to him for weeks.

@bwDraco That was me talking to allquixotic.

Course Ramhound thinks the world revolves around him, so I'm not surprised he likes to fabricate harassment into everything I say.

@qasdfdsaq Why do you believe so? That's precisely what we consider harassment.

@bwDraco Because of exactly what he's saying to you right now?

I've said nothing to him for weeks, he lurks around accusing me of harassment.

Ramhound has had some issues in the past but this does not mean this kind of harassment is justified.

@bwDraco What exactly do you consider harassment here? Stating the truth?

Being terse is not an "issue"

> Ramhound thinks the world revolves around him

@qasdfdsaq This is opinion, not a factual statement.

He's being harassed by non-existent material.

This is precisely what he said.

What's that got to do with me?

@qasdfdsaq: You've failed to demonstrate how Ramhound is acting in a selfish manner.

I have not communicated with him for weeks. Perhaps you should both look up harassment in a dictionary?

@qasdfdsaq No, but you did refer to him with an indirect insult.

sigh can we not?

@qasdfdsaq: In order to understand your grievance, it's important to show precisely what you don't like about Ramhound. We can't help you resolve this dispute without more information about what happened.

There is no dispute.

If he doesn't like what I say, there's the block function.

It's not my duty to pander to everyone who takes offense to every other word.

OK, both of you need to take a few away from the keyboard.

My apologies for going on a disgusting tangent

Should have known better than letting my mind swerve like that

I'll try to stick to the CoC from now on

@ArtOfCode Well I was playing STO but someone kept pinging me -_-

@qasdfdsaq So ignore it.

@ArtOfCode It's making loud noises every time it happens.

It's neither of your fault, but you're both part of it, so stop.

HAMMERTIME!

Oh wait, I just found the mute button

@qasdfdsaq You can turn those off. See the speaker icon?

!!tell qasdfdsaq test

@qasdfdsaq It's just a fucking test, now go away

I did, it's still making the noise

Now refresh every chat page you have open

@Ramhound any thoughts re my answer superuser.com/questions/1008125/…

@ArtOfCode I can't find every chat page I have open.

That's part of the problem :-(

@qasdfdsaq How many tabs have you got?

Not to mention I probably have a half dozen open on my work PC too

About 200 on my PC and 200 on my work PC

Only needs to be the current workstation

200? Jesus.

@ArtOfCode 200 is nothing...

Well I'm remote desktop'ed into my work PC and getting sound through there too

I have 800 on my desktop.

My record was a hair over 2000.

@Bob 800? %Prophet...

Jeez, people.

Even right now, at work:

And I thought having 50 tabs open at once was a lot

<waiting for greenshot/imgur's slow upload>

@barlop - Your conclusions are on the dot. You ended up figuring it you faster then I could ping you in here. I told you about the limitations of USB 2/3, WinPE, because I didn't know you were selecting in Rufus.

@ArtOfCode I'd have 4x as many if my Chrome hadn't crashed and lost all my tabs a couple weeks back

@ArtOfCode IIRC, there was a feature of either Chrome or Firefox that puts a ":D" on your number of tabs if you have too many for the integer to fit in the little space where it's supposed to be.

I mean, the most I open regularly is 30 or 40 at once while browsing image galleries without a carrousel

@allquixotic Was on mobile Chrome.

Sadly Chrome doesn't have tab search, unlike Firefox so it's not easy to find existing tabs

Mobile FF does the infinity symbol.

@allquixotic That's Chrome on Android

There we go.

@Bob Don't accidentally press enter! :P

@allquixotic Tab recovery :D

(FF's session restore is pretty robust)

Control-Shift-T

Work calls, back... in an indetermine period of time

@ArtOfCode Last I checked, Control+Shift+T only restores tabs in Firefox, not windows

@qasdfdsaq Ah, Firefox. Chrome's version does both.

@Bob Even so, 400 tabs, at 2.5 MB each, that's about a GB of data you have to redownload, from hundreds of servers.

AKA if you accidentally close a window in Chrome, it'll restore the entire window and all tabs in it, whereas firefox will only restore tabs in the current window

@ArtOfCode Ctrl+Shift+N to restore a whole window in FF. Or just reopen the browser if you accidentally closed it.

I believe Bob uses Firefox, I use Chrome

@NateKerkhofs That's where cache comes in.

@NateKerkhofs FF doesn't reload pages on restart, except the active tab.

The other tabs only get loaded if you click on them.

Not to mention if many of those tabs are from the same site, then most resources will be shared (e.g. images, logos, scripts)

about:memory tells me each unloaded tab uses some 0.11 MB of memory (in window objects, there's more elsewhere).

It seems you find Ramhound to be annoying. Can you explain why?

@bwDraco Yes, because he was pissing off Dave

And a couple other people in some comments thread somewhere

Yeah, I flagged Ramhound's comment that sent me on the tangent

which removed his comment and made mine stand out as weird

which caused me a 1 hour ban

@NateKerkhofs o_0

So the solution for next time for me is "don't go on a tangent"

@bwDraco leave it.

People complained about his comment, I said ignore him. That's not harrassment.

Yeah, i'm going to leave it

@ArtOfCode ty

Thank you.

@qasdfdsaq, let's not make threats here.

Wow, a lot of comments being removed today

@bwDraco That's not a threat...

@MichaelFrank The message was immediately pulled.

Ahh... wrong reply.

@NateKerkhofs - I apologize if you took offensive to my comment. I won't even try to justify it.

People are already comparing David Cameron to Major Kong from Dr. Strangelove...

I've not seen Dr. Strangelove but I imagine there are worse things I could compare David Cameron to

@Ramhound apologies accepted. I should have known better myself than to start to analyze your insult

@qasdfdsaq Major Kong is that guy who sits on the falling bomb at the end of the movie, waving his cowboy hat around as he ushers in MAD

Mutually Assured Destruction

@NateKerkhofs Oh. Sounds about right.

Except ISIS doesn't have nukes.

At least, not that we know of

@Ramhound Accepted.

@qasdfdsaq Well, if the bombs drop on Russian soldiers, you might have an international incident

Can anyone tell me the reason Blizzard would put me in Open Beta for Overwatch, then that expires, but gives me no way to actually uninstall it?

Oh god lets not bring the russians into this

I'm half hoping Turkey does go to war with Russia so someone will finally shut that psychotic egomanic up.
