@allquixotic At least you don't have to listen to homphobic people, or people arguing that 11 year olds deserve death penalty .____.

I don't have a response to that, but next time they play loud religious stuff I am so tempted to play brazilian vodoo music

@DavidPostill Took you a while to install :P

DavidPostill

@Bob Yeah. It wouldn't surprise me if my 3 year old laptop is not as fast as your gaming rig ;P

Bob

@DavidPostill My 'gaming rig', yea...

It's 5 years old by now

And was mostly mid-range when new :P

DavidPostill

Most of the time was installing the updates.

Bob

Updates take a while on any machine :P

Try installing that big Win7 cumulative update. Might speed things up for next time.

DavidPostill

5 minutes to load my programs how I like them ...

Bob

15:54

HDD?

Some laptop HDDs are especially bad.

DavidPostill

@Bob I'm avoiding that like the plague. Don't want Windows 10

@Bob Yes.

Bob

@DavidPostill The cumulative update has nothing to do with 10. It's like a mini service pack.

DavidPostill

Ah. OK. I only have 10 GB / month bandwidth so I'm very mean with downloads

allquixotic

@DavidPostill It would surprise me if your 3 year old laptop is as fast as my gaming rig

Burgi

15:56

@DavidPostill i had that one as an audit too

allquixotic

i7-6700K, Schoedinger's Graphics Card (it's a GTX 1080 if I think it is, but if I open the box to look, it's really just a 980 for now), three SSDs, MaxCache, hardware RAID, 64 GB DDR4...

Journeyman Geek

lol

DavidPostill

@Bob Do you know how big it is?

Bob

@DavidPostill ...that's rather ridiculously low

allquixotic

it constantly phases in and out from a 980 to a 1080

@DavidPostill you on limited LTE or something?

DavidPostill

15:58

@Bob It's the biggest package from my mobile provider.

I'm stuck with mobile tethering for the moment.

Bob

Microsoft... wut?!

DavidPostill

@allquixotic H+ whatever that is. I think it's between 3G and 4G

Developer

is Tor really anonymous ?

DavidPostill

If I go over 10 GB it is 2 UKP per 100 MB.

Bob

@DavidPostill 476 MB for Win7 x64.

But it's not guaranteed to actually help, so it might not be worth doing for you.

@DavidPostill ...have you considered a different provider, or are they all that bad? o.O

And I thought the $10/GB here was bad.

@Developer No. Nothing is.

TOR is a tool.

DavidPostill

16:02

@Bob Thanks. I'll leave that for now. I've used 3/4 of my bandwidth in 1/2 month :/

Bob

It's not a panacea.

Developer

@Bob how people get away with it then :)

DavidPostill

@Bob I will look around when my contract expires.

They were all about the same when I bought it.

Bob

@Developer Because some people know how to use their tools effectively, and others simply aren't big enough targets, and (most) others simply aren't doing anything illegal in the first place.

@DavidPostill Ah. Ugh... contracts.

@DavidPostill It's technically just a collection of all updates you've probably installed already over time. I'm actually not 100% sure if it replaces them, though. If it does, that should speed up future update installs (smaller dependency graphs).

I'll try it in a VM if I remember tomorrow.

Ooh, actually... I could spin one up on azure?

...nah, they probably already have updates installed

allquixotic

@Developer There's "using Tor" (like downloading Tor Browser on Windows), then there's USING Tor (like running Tails, going to extra lengths to secure your connection, taking physical measures to prevent snooping on RF or physical signals, etc., and layering your connection even further inside Tor using stego, port knocking, and message-layer crypto).

simply connecting to the Tor network does not guarantee anything, and may even make it easier for APTs to spy on you if you're stupid.

That Brazilian Guy

16:07

APTs?

Journeyman Geek

advanced persistant threats

DavidPostill

@Bob Don't worry about it :P I'm more worried about size than install speed. I only install stuff if I really want it. I have the update service disabled.

Journeyman Geek

in essense though, if someone knows you're using tor or encryption, and think you're up to no good, they'll be taknnga closer look ;p

qwertyuiop

Ohahaha

fucking hilarious

DavidPostill

@Bob Oh, and thanks for the PowerShell hint. Last time I went looking for it (before Xmas, I think) MS had withdrawn it.

Star me for saying penis then ban me for saying penis but leave the star up JUST TO RUB IT IN EVEN HARDER

@qwertyuiop what is?

@qwertyuiop you were suspended?

qwertyuiop

Yes

jokerdino

she digging some history

qwertyuiop

Does it tell you when that happens

jokerdino

hold on. what

qwertyuiop

16:09

I thought you always watched for me getting suspended just to gloat

That Brazilian Guy

2 hours ago, by qwertyuiop

Instead they star stupid meaningless crap like "!!penis" or "hi"

Do I sense a little... (•_•) ( •_•)>⌐■-■ (⌐■_■) penis envy?

DavidPostill

@qwertyuiop You're making it worse by rubbing it ;)

Journeyman Geek

@qwertyuiop wierdly

jokerdino

no idea when it happened.

Journeyman Geek

they tell us when people get kicked

but not suspended

qwertyuiop

16:10

@ThatBrazilianGuy ...

Developer

@allquixotic I know someone who had been attacking adsense on my website

they live in same town as me, but google analytic point in different country

qwertyuiop

@jokerdino Somewhere between 0.5 and 3 hours ago

Developer

I think they are using TOR

allquixotic

@Developer how can you be sure it's them if it points to a different country?

jokerdino

@qwertyuiop the star probably triggered the flagger

allquixotic

16:11

and how do you know it's Tor? have you mapped the inbound IPs to known exit nodes?

qwertyuiop

@allquixotic: Can't remember if you answered or not - do you play Ark yourself or just experimenting with the server?

Developer

@allquixotic cuz there friend told me, he is jealous of my website

allquixotic

@qwertyuiop I play it. not much recently but might get a server started now that I have MWAHAHAHAHAHA number of CPU cores

DavidPostill

It's about to fall off the wall anyway ...

qwertyuiop

Ah I saw your reply now

Being suspended refreshes your page and the alerts for pings go and disappear

How many cores is "MWAHAHAHAHAHA " exactly?

Didn't you say you wanted someone to test because you didn't have a powerful enough PC to run the cilent yourself? Or was that just cause you were at work at the time

That Brazilian Guy

16:13

It's Adventure Time | (• ◡•)| (❍ᴥ❍ʋ)

WTF Spotify, seriously

Burgi

my boss has just restarted a server 5 mins before 5pm and it hasn't come back up....

qwertyuiop

16:17

You're like the best service I've discovered this year and yet the most basic functions are inconsistent as fuck

jokerdino

he just wants to ruin your weekend

qwertyuiop

Like, "Copy URL/share/link" doesn't exist on the desktop client

And the side bar functions don't exist on the mobile client.

That Brazilian Guy

@qwertyuiop echo (float)"MWAHAHAHAHAHA";

qwertyuiop

@Burgi That's why you run a cron job to disable the "sudo" "reboot" and "service" commands after 12pm each Friday

Urgh ffs. Where is my soldering iron, I need to fix a broken contact in my vibrator

That Brazilian Guy

@qwertyuiop The bandcamp web interface won't auto advance to the next song. Whereas the Bandcamp app only lets you play each album a handful times and then it demands money.

qwertyuiop

16:20

I've GIVEN THEM MONEY and they still show me ads saying GO PREMIUM TO REMOVE ADS!

And I get occasional popups sayings "You've discovered a premium feature, click here to unlock premium!"

Seriously though where is my soldering iron

That Brazilian Guy

@qwertyuiop support.spotify.com

qwertyuiop

Oh there it is, I've been uusing it as a back scratcher

Now I've lost my light switch. Urgh

Fucking IoT/connected technology/modern shit

When I was a kid, you couldn't lose soldering iron tips because you couldn't replace them with back scratcher tips

When I was a kid you couldn't lose light switches cause they were bolted to the wall. And you couldn't get loose contacts on vibrators because they didn't have USB ports.

Things were so much simpler back then

allquixotic

@qwertyuiop 16. plus HT

@qwertyuiop the latter

qwertyuiop

@allquixotic :-o

Xeon-WS?

Or dual-proc?

allquixotic

dual proc - on my OVH box

MG-128

qwertyuiop

16:28

Ah wait we're talking about your new server not a home PC

allquixotic

Haswell E5-somethingsomethingv3 x 2

qwertyuiop

<== derp me

allquixotic

home box is still a quad-core

boring old quad core... with high single-thread perf :)

qwertyuiop

Yeah same

I was glad to see pretty much everything I do on my PC is still faster on my quad-core Skylake than the new Broadwell-E's

Bob

@qwertyuiop pretty sure it does..?

@allquixotic oh, you upgraded?

allquixotic

16:37

@Bob ya... that's how I'm running my existing stuff and standing up SmartOS concurrently

@qwertyuiop did the launch of Broadwell-E this week only include Core i7 Extreme, or is it also Xeon E5-v4?

not that I'm very excited about the prospects of Xeon E5-v4, compared to v3. Probably pretty trivial

Rahul Basu

17:04

@qwertyuiop why did you get suspended?

@Developer take a look at deepweb.se while it is still available

DavidPostill

@RahulBasu I believe he got a drive-by flag for a "rude" word. We can't say what it is in case it upsets your mum ;)

The star wall will give you a clue ...

Rahul Basu

@DavidPostill she doesn't check this chat room ever

DavidPostill

@RahulBasu Was joking ...

allquixotic

that was sarcasm

Rahul Basu

@DavidPostill I'm trustable 😎

@allquixotic still good to be sure, isn't it?

allquixotic

17:13

no

Rahul Basu

@Developer your website?

allquixotic

Developer.com of course ;)

Rahul Basu

@allquixotic then you would be pleased to know that she is standing and looking over my shoulder right now

@qwertyuiop you were a kid? O_o

jokerdino

nice

Burgi

17:28

@RahulBasu deepweb.se is in closed beta now

@qwertyuiop its a windows box that i don't have access to yet

Rahul Basu

@Burgi so no users can't join anymore?

Burgi

i think so

That Brazilian Guy

17:43

I want some chocolate

jokerdino

hot choc?

That Brazilian Guy

No, candy

DavidPostill

Should last you till Monday ;)

That Brazilian Guy

@DavidPostill 75 GBP? O.o

I want chocolate, not gold

DavidPostill

4.5 kg and 80 cm long

jokerdino

17:53

that should be poison

Rahul Basu

18:07

I eat that much chocolate daily :/

jokerdino

no one eats 4kg chocolate every day

no one is that stupid

Burgi

18:43

welp one of my best friend's wife has given birth...

which means one fewer drinking buddy :(

jokerdino

🤔

qwertyuiop

19:00

@allquixotic E5 V4's have been out for months

@RahulBasu I said !!penis

@RahulBasu Yes, it happens

@Burgi Lol in that case, not your problem in any way shape or form

Burgi

he is a bit scatterbrain

he showed be one of the client websites last week for a few minutes then got called away

i got on with something else

in the meantime he has accidentally FTP'd the wrong files to the server and broken the website

he accused me of it

"you haven't given me access to that site yet"

honestly last week i was seriously considering resigning

nothing is in source control

qwertyuiop

lmao

\you knew this before accepting the job and you still did .... why>

Burgi

because i had no better offers

only some of the servers are backed up (i have no idea what the schedule is)

oh and they haven't disabled or changed the passwords since the old developer left

and the hacked server, he wouldn't let me take it offline or ask the hosting company to spin up a new box

surely you can only know the technically uniques without manually going through all the tags to count the semantic ones?

groceries.asda.com/product/bottled-ale/…

yum yum yum

and only a £1!!!!!

That Brazilian Guy

19:41

There's about 15k articles, so it's about 2.6 tags per article

@Burgi If I don't disable adblock, I can only see the header and the footer 0.o

Burgi

how odd

its a legit site and no adverts on it

That Brazilian Guy

Yes, it's the public facing site of my employer

Burgi

are you still in work?

That Brazilian Guy

Also, it's a complete mess of a nonsensic structure and layout

Burgi

you work for a government agency right?

That Brazilian Guy

19:46

@Burgi "in work" as in, presently at the office, or currently employed?

Burgi

in the office

That Brazilian Guy

@Burgi I work for a government entity, yes

@Burgi It's 16:46 here

TBH, most govenment buildings after 16hs ~~on a friday~~ are ghost towns

Specially, specially the congress ;p

Burgi

well badly structured, impossible to navigate websites are normal for governments

That Brazilian Guy

@Burgi Correct, but I'm not part of the team of those

Rahul Basu

@qwertyuiop wow... That seems a bit harsh

qwertyuiop

20:02

@RahulBasu Being a kid once is a bit harsh?

Or being suspended for saying !!penis?

Either way, I've had worse. As in I've been worse than a kid once, and been suspended for less as well

Rahul Basu

I was talking about the suspension

But whatever...

That Brazilian Guy

@qwertyuiop Well, to be fair he's being a kid for at least 15 years, whereas you've only been one once...

Did you die afterwards? Or you became a cat back then?

qwertyuiop

20:24

@RahulBasu Ah

Your reply pointed at my reply to you asking if I was a kid

@ThatBrazilianGuy U;n stukk wirjdubg ib tge dyubg oart

Rahul Basu

I just realised that I don't know the professions of anyone here, and that is weird, considering the amount of time I spend here...

The only thing I know about @JourneymanGeek is that he makes backups

And @GuitarShoeDave does some kind of work in Canada remotely from the US

Ben N

Dropbox makes my backups

Rahul Basu

;D

@ThatBrazilianGuy works in/for his government

@DavidPostill is a dance teacher

@qwertyuiop is a cat/noodle/becky

That's pretty much all I know

allquixotic

@allquixotic works for, but not in, his government (meaning, the Government is his customer)

Rahul Basu

Nice...

@allquixotic client?

allquixotic

20:37

@RahulBasu client is another word for customer

Rahul Basu

I was under the impression that they aren't synonymous, but whatever

allquixotic

they are in my business/country/industry

DavidPostill

You should watch your computer enviroment (eg, making sure the the cpu doesn't get too hot, don't run too much applications, so on.) You could use tlp. tlp is excellent on many Linux computers. sudo apt-get install tlp

DavidPostill

You should edit your answer and add in the comment. It is part of the answer.
