@allquixotic heh, I use NUCs as home servers

Those kitties never get old.

@CircusCat That didn't make much sense. Maybe you meant: caaaaaaat2, caaaaaat, caaaaat2, caaaaaaaat2, caaaaaaat, caaaaat

Ahh the beautiful lesser known 2cats
 
2:19 AM
Hmm
 
Bob
floof
 
2:58 AM
gm!
@IAmABot lovely kittens
 
3:57 AM
a
 
roar
 
 
4 hours later…
7:51 AM
man you lot are quiet today
 
Bob
fuck
police barricade
first, a news van. then, a police barrier.
 
Bob
8:16 AM
@JourneymanGeek eh... stuff to do
so, they closed off the street mall
 
 
2 hours later…
9:48 AM
.... spend 2 hours installing a game.

Then it needs to update immediately
Damn it future. THIS IS NOT WHAT YOU SHOULD BE LIKE.
 
Bob
10:04 AM
@JourneymanGeek so apparently a quick trip to the shops is a longer walk than a normal workday -_-
wait no
that drive earlier in the afternoon was good for 500 steps each way :P
driving = walking? :D
 
Drive over a dump might be the same as a step
 
10:50 AM
Hey, got a small doubt.
Just pressed F4 button to close my chrome
When I relaunched it and did Ctrl+Shift+T, the whole session I closed came back in the same state I left everything in.
Does this still work even after a reboot?
 
@Nick yes
 
install vivaldi
 
cool :)
@Avery how is it any better than chrome?
 
Keep in mind though
Your session doesn't get restored
 
a browser by some developers who left opera
 
10:55 AM
The same pages open up again
 
based on chromium
 
There's a difference
 
it's much better than chrome
 
@Nick
 
@rahuldottech sounds annoying
 
10:56 AM
more customizable and everything
 
@Nick how?
It's very useful
 
also has tiny changes that are lifesavers, like a trash button that shows your last closed tabs and sessions, and you can recover those individually etc
 
There is a separate setting for restoring your session
 
also it doesn't relay everything to google
 
@rahuldottech downloading vivaldi rn. Let me see if it's as good as you guys say.
My HPC training for the day is over. Just learnt basic CUDA programming.
Stuff is difficult.
packing up, ttyl
 
11:59 AM
@Bob o0
your step tracking is a wee bit bogus
 
Bob
@JourneymanGeek well... half hour drive, wrist movements...
actually the way there was more like 1.5 hours
traffic jams and wonky maneuvering
why isn't there a proper off-/on-ramp there
THEY CROSSED THE STREAMS
 
0_0
THEY CROSSED THE STREAMS?
lol
I wonder if there's some point where kids are actually too young to get the reference.
 
Bob
@JourneymanGeek really wonky roads
I'm never driving that way again
got off the motorway following the orange and red - basically a 1km long u-turn
meanwhile a huge stream of cars trying to get on the motorway following the blue
yes, it's the same road. the same single-lane road
whole bunch of people trying to turn off, whole bunch of people trying to turn on
(as normal as that kind of chaos is in asia, it's not normal here :P)
spent >30mins on that 1km -_-
 
12:19 PM
lol
some parts of asia are...
oh actually
 
Bob
12:59 PM
@DavidPostill I wasn't in that one ;)
not so much a full jam anyway - I can cope with those
 
2:14 PM
@JourneymanGeek Fiiiiiiiinally got around to setting up Synergy on my laptops...
It's actually magic.
 
2:30 PM
when it works ;p
 
roar
 
2:51 PM
the upstream is a small fraction of what I expect, and I'm hard-wired... do you think it could be Intel NIC interrupt moderation or something?
I have an Intel I219-V as part of a cheapo ($65) Z170M mobo
they advertise up to 880 Mbps upstream, so <200 is probably something wrong with the equipment, or perhaps the server I was speedtesting against
 
I'm going to pretend you're not complaining about your upload speeds...
 
not complaining, just trying to make sure I get what I'm paying for and that at least one of my devices can sniff +/- 10% of advertised
 
oh, setting the jumbo packets to 4088 bytes helped a lot
 
dat ping tho
 
2:57 PM
now let's test from ethernet, shall we?
10.747ms ping, 22.49mbps down, 2.09mbps up.
 
I got the ping down to 4 ms - how far away could a server be, with such a low ping? My computer -> copper Cat5e -> router -> copper Cat5e -> ONT -> fiber -> local circuit box -> long run fiber -> Verizon office
speed of light * 0.75 in ethernet roughly, maybe a little faster in fiber...
lots of twists and turns...
 
I get 9ms with no fiber
 
according to Wolfram Alpha, in 4 ms, light traveling in a vacuum would travel 1199 km.
so that means my 4ms ping could be from a server anywhere in my region, believably
multiply it by 0.2 or so to factor in losses from twists and turns and such, and that's still about 200 km
Comparison between my internet and @ThatREDACTEDGuy 's
 
amusingly, my weakest link... is in the last 10 m or so... ;p
 
@allquixotic agh I just watched a bit of the asdfmovie1-10 compilation and forgot how terrible it was
 
3:30 PM
I want to buy a game on Steam just to see how fast I can download it
 
@allquixotic Just get something free like DOTA2 or Path of Exile?
Neverwinter Online is pretty big
 
why would a router hand out non-sequential ip addresses? 192.168.1.1 .. .2 .3 .6.. then random .88
 
@MichaelFrank eww, Cryptic
 
heh... yea.
 
@user2476549 DHCP server algorithm to try and prevent race conditions I think
their server seems to be throttling my download to 100 Mbps
 
4:14 PM
@user2476549 because not a new client?
 
4:33 PM
My turtle....
he's left his food bowl like this
HOW?!
 
Is your pet sick?
(sorry, not an expert on pets)
 
4:48 PM
@JourneymanGeek that will never happen for as long as I live. #AllHailPissingContests
hey, could someone help me set up an IRC channel.
If the first thought that come to your mind is, "That's too easy, can't you do it yourself?". Then, don't say anything. I don't need your help in that case.
If that wasn't your first thought, then could you kindly consider helping me?
#FeedTheHelpVampireSoHeWontComeBack
:/ guess you're all too dead to help. Leave it, then.
 
@IAmABot Can I have one? PLEEEEEASE?
 
@Avery Just installed it.
 
well
hope you enjoy it.
 
hot pink seems nice but hey, can't I make custom themes?
 
@DavidPostill Hi! I'm Goku!
 
5:02 PM
@ThatREDACTEDGuy Cool. My 11yr old baby brother is also Goku.
@ThatREDACTEDGuy Ah, yes, DragonBall. That's refreshing.
^ This is pretty stunning, tbh. Can't wait to migrate from chrome to vivaldi.
It's gonna be ruff.
 
@Nick It'd be "ruff" for @JourneymanGeek :D
you know, to print every digit of 999999999999999!!!!!!!! probably takes several terabytes of space
 
5:21 PM
well, firstly. Gamma function optimization. Secondly, storage optimization. Thridly, why the hell would you do it?
 
5:34 PM
@Nick Huh... I wonder if calc does that
"Thridly", because it's in a starred message of mine :P
 
@Nick You'd near as makes no odds still be using Chrome.
Vivaldi uses Blink which means it's basically YAFCB (Yet another Chrome Browser)
Chrome/Webkit/Blink is the new "Hey, let's reinvent the wheel!" fad facilitator.
 
@allquixotic Give me a few days to actually begin to comprehend it. I'm thinking you said "General Purpose graphic cards leased through a cloud network charge like hell"
@Mokubai Google official support feels comfy. That's why.
@Mokubai Is there a complete compendium of YAFCBs?
I was staring at that F for a few minutes until it hit me xD
@Mokubai I remember webkit from my css days. Blink sounds familiar. lmggt.
 
@Nick Blink is basically a fork of Webkit, which is the engine that Chrome uses, and pretty much every so-called "new" browser you'll find
 
Yeah, I remember Torch. It did torrents.
 
5:49 PM
You're not changing from Chrome, you're just using a different skin with a marginally different feature set and possibly some older bugs.
 
6:02 PM
How do I build one?
 
fork chromium.
 
@Nick If you're asking us how to build a browser, I don't think you know enough programming to be able to do so
 
I don't think you know me enough to assume so much
If I don't know, I learn, kid. Just like you.
 
Nah, just saying
 
@Avery Is that how the rest of them did it?
 
6:04 PM
Please don't call anyone 'kid"
@Nick usually.
 
@rahuldottech Freedom of speech.
 
@Nick Dude. Are we going to do the whole thing again?
 
I just realized. You guys suck.
No we're not
gn
 
well, if we suck, then why are you still here?
 
Okay, someone confirm this for me
 
6:12 PM
yes
 
I see some text floating around
 
there's this hough
I also spotted it yesterday
 
Opened meta?
 
'here' is a link, and is redirecting to https
 
yeah
 
6:19 PM
🦊
 
@Nick please remember to Be Nice. If someone has requested not to be called 'kid', and you don't respect that... that's not nice, and is in fact childish. So - please respect people's wishes when they ask you not to call them something in the future. Thank you.
Also, there's absolutely nothing wrong with minors coughs ;)
 
@Mithrandir :)
 
@rahuldottech wonders if you're older than me
 
@Mithrandir I'm 16, what about you?
 
So yes, you're older.
 
6:26 PM
Yeah
 
I recently turned 15.
 
I remember seeing a meta post of yours, on scifi, I think?
 
I'm in the midst of doing laundry and drama happens. 😶
 
@rahuldottech likely, I'm active there
 
6:27 PM
\o
 
@Mithrandir There should probably be a chat room for minors on SE :P
 
there is one on SO
 
@Avery ooooh linky?
My internet connection is failing me and I really wanted to watch a movie, damnit.
 

 Teenage Programmers Chatroom

A chat room for everybody! No age restriction, but be mature. ...
 
I'm gonna be needing a new phone
 
6:29 PM
also

@CircusCat what happened
 
@CircusCat You cannot be serious...
Are you okay?
 
@Avery both are not-very-active
 
(please consider unblocking me)
 
@CircusCat oww
 
@rahuldottech indeed
 
6:31 PM
@CircusCat (@bwDraco asks you to consider unblocking him)
@Avery 'ts a pity
 
Don't inhale any of those fumes.
 
6:49 PM
@Avery Exploding phone happened
Losing all my data and my backups also happened, because my memory card is water resistant and shock resistant but not being on fire resistant, even though it looks totally intact
Oh and three fire engines turn up way quicker than ambulances.
 
you kept the backups for your phone.... inside your phone?
YDW.
 
don't keep backups
problem solved
 
lol
 
that's what I do
 
well done you?
I value stuff like photos of my kids.
 
7:02 PM
I use google photos
 
I have photos backed up, not much else
 
me too :D
so you DO have backups
lol don't tell lies.
 
I meant my pc
and servers
 
I back em up
@Avery what would you looe?
errr lose?
 
it's easy to backup my pc but not sure how I'd backup my servers
 
7:03 PM
@Avery FTP, duh :P
 
rsync
seriously tho if you have stuff you care about, and you don't back it up, you're an idiot.
 
I should make it work
 
@CircusCat Samsung?
 
@Mithrandir yup
 
.... yeah gonna say
what gives that away
 
7:07 PM
go to media @CircusCat
 
@djsmiley2k On a memory card, yeah.
 
@Avery I wrote a load of scripts for mine
easy, slow but easy
@CircusCat .... not sure if dumb.
or just didn't actually care about backups
 
@djsmiley2k I am dumb, yes.
 
ah ok
well that sucks, sorry
 
But what else am I meant to back it up on?
 
7:08 PM
...
google cloud?
dropbox?
ask me and you can back up to my server?
 
@djsmiley2k Yeah with a mythical 1000GB mobile data allowance?
 
;D
you pwn that places wifi
 
@djsmiley2k The hostel wifi that barely works on a good day?
 
yus
 
Yeah it'd take 3 months to upload one day's photos
 
7:10 PM
I guess this is why I'm good at my job lol
I make things happen :/
post the damn thing to me
 
@CircusCat OTG cable + USB HDD
Alternatively, don't play with fire?
 
@rahuldottech My USB HDD is full
 
not all phones support otg
 
Samsung has a reputation for their phones exploding.
(is typing on a Samsung at the moment)
 
@Avery Majority of Androids do
 
7:13 PM
none of my androids ever supported it
 
@Mithrandir Yeah. I dislike samsung devices. They have too much bloat, and don't get enough updates
@Avery huh, all of mine have
 
The Edge ones don't explode though, I think. Unfortunately, I don't have one.
 
o_O dont' buy crap phones?
Anywaysssssssssssssss
pizza is en route
should I 1. try and sand these things to make them into shelves
or 2. play games and not do anyhting productive~?
 
This reminds me, I need to write a rant on Motorola
 
why?
 
7:15 PM
@djsmiley2k yum, good for you
 
my 6 whatever it is, is awesome
 
THEY BETRAYED MY TRUST
 
@djsmiley2k that's a good idea
 
ok cool i think i'll do that
tbh the sanding SHOULD be done outside...
 
Motorola is becoming another samsung
A ton of devices
None are updated
 
7:17 PM
oneplus was good but 5 is just ":("
 
@Avery Ohhhhh one sec
 
motorola was always like that
 
@Avery Their moto linup was nice for the first three generations or so
 
> pebble
I'm on rebble team, you know that, right?
 
@Avery yeah
 
7:18 PM
pebble did nothing wrong
they were simply too great
 
@Avery yeah
 
they had the best customer support and they lost a ton of money due to that
 
That's kinda what the vid is about
Watch it
 
they just sent a new pebble when your current one broke
I'm bingeing netflix
 
7:35 PM
Jul 16 '16 at 18:11, by bwDraco
@cat Has it occurred to you that customer support is very, very expensive to provide? It's easily one of the very biggest OPEXes in larger businesses.
 
[_]
EW
I just tried pineapple on pizza
Forgive me Lord, for I have sinned
4
 
@DavidPostill Lol, I've seen that before :P
 
8:01 PM
@DavidPostill that was golden
 
8:18 PM
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
What have they done
 
@rahuldottech Where? Who? When?
 
@DavidPostill I'm watching La La Land
And I don't like this
 
Ah. Never seen it.
 
@DavidPostill Do you watch movies?
I suddenly feel like drinking Cola
[|]
 
@rahuldottech Sometimes. At the moment I'm working through watching Bab5 (again) and also working through Homeland. The last "proper" movie I watched was "The Imitation Game".
 
8:29 PM
@DavidPostill The Imitation Game is one of my favorites
@DavidPostill Do you have any short TV series to recommend?
 
@rahuldottech Yes. Top movie.
@rahuldottech Define short
 
@DavidPostill Binge-watchable in less than a week
 
@rahuldottech What genre?
 
@DavidPostill Any works for me
Action, historical, tech, adventure, mystery, SciFi
 
Each series of Homeland is about 12 hours total.
 
8:33 PM
@DavidPostill I'd rather not watch something with multiple seasons, I won't get time enough for that
 
Hmm. Let me think.
All the best series have multiple seasons :/
 
@DavidPostill Something with two or three seasons maybe?
 
@rahuldottech You could do the Matrix films
 
@DavidPostill You liked them?
 
@rahuldottech Yes.
Twin Peaks?
 
8:37 PM
Cool, okay :)
@DavidPostill Ooh, looks nice :D
 
@rahuldottech The first series was very good. I haven't seen the second series.
 
@DavidPostill Okay!
Thanks :D
 
@rahuldottech Correction - Series 1 and 2 I've seen (30 episodes total). Series 3 I haven't seen (it's ongoing at the moment).
 
OH MY GOD
THIS IS MESSED UP
NO NO NO NO NO

8:45 PM
@Avery SHE GOT MARRIED TO SOMEONE ELSE DAMNIT
21 mins ago, by rahuldottech
@DavidPostill I'm watching La La Land
 
WHO

I HATE THIS
 
I thought you meant your girlfriend
