Root Access

@Dog that is correct I would want an x86 device idealluy

I ran pfSense off a laptop with a built-in not-Realtek NIC.

@William Intel Compute Stick?

@William the raspberry pi sized thing is a bit of a bummer

I can make it larger

High-end modern smartphones are probably more powerful, but also more expensive.

1:19 AM

honestly I just don't want to lugging around 2 laptops

NUC class machines then

@JourneymanGeek hongkiat.com/blog/space-saving-mini-pcs

Eh, you won't get much more than an Atom or at best Core-Y performance but that's enough for most things.

@Dog but aren't most packages arm now a days such that if I get ubuntu running on my phone it should probably run just as well if not bettter?

Fuck, I don't know the difference between Core-M and Core-Y anymore... ffs drugs have broken my brain.

@Dog better than a raspi

1:22 AM

!!tell 46741975 facepalm

@Dog something either went over my head or is very suttle

If you want something that's got more ports, there's these chinese industrial PCs with laptop class hardware and 2-4 ports

@William phones are not very flexible platforms

++ IO

@William I'm a cat

@JourneymanGeek Eh, hardware and connectivity wise they're better than most PCs

@Dog you trade off mobile networking for... er...

1:24 AM

Software... well uh depends what OS you run

I suppose you can go OTG and hang many many things off USB?

software is basically written per platform

actually that's a very similar issue with many consumer routers

I want a way that I run ubuntu next to windows with my laptop such that suspend and resume work properly

I was thinking of 3d printing a box to put a raspberry pi type computer in tapped to the back of my computer

oh

@JourneymanGeek Well you get WiFi, NFC, Bluetooth, IR, FM, analogue audio, USB, and HDMI connectivity, as well as touch, hard-button, visual, and audio input and output. It's actually quite versatile.

if its just linux, those slimline atom boxen look like a better bet than the dongle pcs

1:28 AM

You can use it as a light switch, or even a lighting controller. Or a wireless IP motion sensor, audio recorder, text display, audio alert system, room temperature and humidity sensor, barometer, GPS receiver, motion/orientation sensor, etc.

one of these days I'll switch back to ubuntu

but right now with school I can't

It's got cameras, ambient light sensors, IR rangefinders, capacitive sensors, magnetic sensors, etc. Quite a lot of useful stuff.

linus on youtube held up a pretty powerful computer the size of a SSD computer

I don't have much faith in my phone

considering how much it crashes

lol

Old Android phones can be used for anything from a mousetrap trigger to a weather station. Or a drone controller, communications relay, crash detector, electrical meter monitor, and a shit ton of other things. Even a shower temperature controller.

1:34 AM

have you done this?

or in the case of the old galaxy note, a one shot water heater.

becasue I have installed & made minor custom ROMs and they are a pain

can't imagine installing ubuntu on a phone will be any easier

@Dog I have a plan related to this. It's gonna take me a long while to get around to designing and making it, but I think you'll like it.

Details will be disclosed later

@JourneymanGeek Tbh, try hard enough and you can probably trigger a battery explosion through software on most rooted phones.

@rahuldottech I doubt it, I don't like anything.

Hmm

I need more IRL friends, to drag me out of this spiralling whirlpool of debt, drugs, and depression.

2

make sure they aren't spendthrift, depressed potheads.

1:58 AM

@Dog I think that's the first sensible thing I've seen you say in a very long time

I hope that you'll follow through and get decent friends

2:28 AM

@rahuldottech Yeah but I gotta establish my own internal worth as a ~~person~~ cat before that can happen, which I'm finding difficult, given my lack of supportive parents, social net or peer group

@Dog YOU CAN DO THE THING!

also cats don't need external validation

I've never heard anyone say "Good Cat!"

oh man

there are extremely loud snoring noises from the other vendor's desk

Scotland has a fairly good safety net for taking care of it's dejected hoomins but the system doesn't work quite so well for its despondent cats :-(

.... the dude is making noises like he's dying

3:10 AM

hm

I might need to ask a main site question

for some reason since we switched domains my work PC has been switching off the themes service automatically

you mean like uxtheme patcher themes?

no, the standard stuff

Not sure whether its some strange GPO thing or something crashing

Wonder where @Bob is. Not heard from him for a while.

so I'm probably going to get this ebay.com/itm/…

its only 35 dollars

oh should be fun

they're a bit janky I hear

3:18 AM

yeah on second thought

its only 1GB

well they're cheap cause its an older model and they never sold well

Huh. Ozzie Vodafone only has "5000+" mobile sites? UK Vodafone has 15,000+ and they suck

but the price kinda makes it interesting

I should probably upgrade to W10 first

and try WSL

yeah terrible idea

heh

my dad runs windows 10 on a core 2 duo with a gig of ram ;)

3:25 AM

I have one specfic app(mathematica) that I know doesn't run on W8 so I have been holding out to upgrade

I'm guessing it won't wrong on W10 also but I am not sure

@Dog floof

3:47 AM

okay having a weird issue

4:31 AM

@Dog Best of luck. Don't give up. We're all rooting for you.

5:13 AM

wtf is this edit: superuser.com/review/suggested-edits/790137

Like

Do people not have better things to do with their lives?

oh wait

it was a stupid test

arghh

5:29 AM

@rahuldottech I like how much attitude bots have these days

hey rahul, do you have working knowledge of automatons?

@Nick yes

(ref: tutorialspoint.com/automata_theory/…)

@rahuldottech In the above automaton, given some binary input, what would be output?

or is that not how automatons work.

automatons push old people down stairs and steal their medicine

@Nick I actually have no idea what this is

I imagine 0000 giving output aaaa here.

5:33 AM

I thought you were talking about robotics and stuff. Which I do have extensive experience with.

@rahuldottech funny thing about audits is... sometimes I think they affect legit users more than roboreviewers

I could be wrong.

@JourneymanGeek How so?

@rahuldottech I personally find them annoying if I want to knuckle down and wipe out the queue

and I'm not a fan of the new "colour" indicators

what colour indicators?

5:37 AM

oh red dot and so on

as opposed to the blue box with numbers

not sure what you're talkin' bout

@rahuldottech oh the current review queue indicator is recent

5:55 AM

@Nick Sounds right.

FSMs are fun

until you need to deal with concurrency, at which point the best thing to do is cry in the corner while your carefully constructed understanding of the world burns down around you

@Bob there's no out arrow anywhere and I can't think anything returns anything until final state is reached. I'll die if someone asks me to build a circuit for this logic.

So, ok, I'm building a lexer.

github.com/NickKartha/LexLuthor

It's been on my plate for a month. Tried learning it, many many times. I've actually just forgotten how to do it.

6:19 AM

@Nick oh wait, there's no output here

a is a state, not an output

lol

this is for validation/matching

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU TRIED TO DO BUT I SAW IT!

it'll terminate/accept if you go 0 from b

@JourneymanGeek coo

6:22 AM

@rahuldottech Bot Overflow is thawed now

oops

that was supposed to be an edit

@JourneymanGeek ok. thank you, i guess.

Oh I meanr @rahuldottech

@JourneymanGeek lmao

@JourneymanGeek i didn't see. what was it?

@Nick It's a secret

@JourneymanGeek Shhhh

6:33 AM

Well whatever it was he tried to do

I've opened my first real issue on GH

github.com/Lex-Luthor/Lex-Luthor.github.io/issues/1

^someone squatting a subdomain

That's weird. It sends me different places. Now it forwarded to lexiflynn.me

wait, that's where it pints to now

think i'll get some rest

see ya'll

good night

er, afternoon

10:54 AM

HEY SO

I SLEPT FOR ALMOST FOUR AND A HALF HOURS!?

11:19 AM

@Nick I'm not sure if you understand how github pages work

If the dude's username is Lex-Luthor, the only github domain he can get is Lex-Luthor.github.io

Conversely, if your username is not Lex-Luthor, you can't get the domain, regardless of whether or not a user with that username exists and if they've got the repo.

The only github (sub-)domain you can get is <your-username>.github.io

12:08 PM

That proves my phone is using aptX with my PXC 550 \o/

12:27 PM

@rahuldottech not enough. Go back 2 bed

lol @ "2"

@JourneymanGeek lol

le sigh

After updating VLC to 3.0.4 on Stolas, I get TDRs trying to play H.264 videos using the default (DirectX) renderer. It works with OpenGL, though.

Something isn't interacting well with the Raven Ridge Radeon Vega Graphics...

1:36 PM

hola

HOLLLAAAAAAAAAA

H O L L A

~~H! O! L! A!~~

1:52 PM

lol

so ... Verge made a "how to build a $2000 PC" ... and it is as bad as you would expect it to be

there might be a shitstorm incoming :D

@tereško linko?

How we built a $2000 custom gaming PC

(it's a video on youtube, and yes, they already closed the comments)

►

brb

@Bob you will want a beer

2:07 PM

tbh that dosen't sound like very much money

it not the parts that are the main issue (though, the choice of chassis is terrible and PSU is questionable), but the build process

@tereško I see filming from the top is current trend... Kitchen TV programs, fashion etc.

what enraged me the most: why are you putting in the CPU last ?!?

Guy works without anti-static wristwrap?

oh, he put on some type of strap, but never actually grounded it

2:20 PM

@tereško Looks like fashion bracelets.

yeah

I would install CPU before installing motherboard inside.

bertieb

$2K will just about buy you one of the new NVidia cards, right?

Didn't I hear they're planning to keep the 1080 at it's current MSRP through Christmas

Or somesuch?

@tereško ...is ... is that "anti-static bracelet" just a random wristband?

:D

that's where I understood that I will need a beer with it

or, well, wine was what I had at home (for emergencies)

it's a damned shame that they closed the comments :(

2:25 PM

@tereško What air flight simulator was that video game?

Arma, I think

@tereško ...is he just tossing in random words that sound about right (to him)?

that's not how you choose a PCIe slot

oh god

I'm done

PSU short circuit in contact with the case

all of my wat

nope, not watching any more

@Bob you will miss the thermal paste bukake, if you do not watch till the end

@tereško ...you have my curiosity

I'll skip forward lol

wait. the CPU cooler

jesus. why's that going in first?

:D

2:29 PM

They disabled comments because they cannot deal with arguments?

get those mittens off the CPU pls

I tried so hard to not touch my CPU at all when installing it lol

don't want skin oils on the contacts, don't want skin oils on the heat spreader

@tereško oh no. oooooooooh no. NO. !!no. WHY

@Bob I think that wont really matter all that much, since his AIO does not have fans

so he looked at the nice neat pre-applied paste

and decided it wasn't enough?

@tereško lol. found one of the threads on Reddit: "They're even missing one of the thumbscrews from the cooling system, so it's not properly tensioned against the CPU.
"

@tereško the PSU is a HX850, a perfectly good (if rather overkill) one ... installed with the fans facing the wrong way :S

yess

> Lo siento, no hablo inglés.

This is why we need more language education.

We need people to be able to effectively use more than just English.

If we seriously value diversity, we need people to be able to speak other languages.

Hey friends I need some heeeeeeeeeeeeeelp

So I have this VirtualBox VM with its NIC set as NAT and a 10.x.x.x IP

I need to SSH into it from the host.

How do I set up VirtualBox?

Boy oh boy. I haven't used the VBox shared folders feature in a long time.

2:48 PM

It's quite stupid but I was up until 1 AM and my brain is kinda stalled.

@bwDraco Shared folders need guest addons, which are either Windows or Linux. This guest VM is FreeBSD

14 hours ago, by That Brazilian Guy

So I have this barebones FreeBSD install running on a Virtualbox VM and a file on it

I'll just try "bridge" and see if it works.

YAY IT WORKS

IP in the same subnet, ping, SSH, yay!

But now ssh root@IP asks for a pwd. Root is pwless...

I ran passwd, now root has the really safe pass of root, but ssh rejects it :'(

Hmm... try creating a VHD image and formatting it as FAT32. Windows can mount VHD images natively, and VirtualBox supports them.

Not the newer VHDX, though.

Nah.

Googled "shell sshd[17263]: error: PAM: authentication error for root from [IP]"

That's kinda what I did to transfer data from and to Hyper-V VMs.

PermitRootLogin yes and... I'm in.

@ThatBrazilianGuy lol @ "really safe pass"

2:58 PM

Now to re-download FreeBSD source, the drivers, and re-compile them.

It's easier than trying to mount a (whatever-filesystem-FreeBSD-uses) .vmdk file on Linux.

> driver lottery

RA are you okay...? Need some help? I think we need to have a talk or two.

I'm assuming $0.25/GB here... that's $14.4M of storage.

@rahuldottech Yeah, but the latency is on the order of minutes to hours.

3:06 PM

Hmm... $68 a pop on Amazon. That's not far off.

Also, you need to be able to read the cards. That takes time.

I know, I know. Latency will be terrible

I'm going offline for a few days

Exams

See ya

I'd use a bunch of high-capacity, high-endurance SATA SSDs and SATA to USB adapters if I somehow needed to move PBs of data.

(assuming that 10GbE is not an option, of course, in which case I'd just use SMB)

For the amount of money needed for the disks, 10GbE is going to be the cheaper and easier option.

Because I could get a pair of Aquantia AQtion NICs and a Cat 6 cable for well under $200.

I don't think a crossover cable would be necessary, but not 100% sure about the features the AQC-107 supports...

(the NICs themselves are $90 a pop)

3:24 PM

Yay, driver compiled over a SSH connection!

3:35 PM

In any case, a Cat 6 crossover cable is cheap if it is indeed necessary...

3:59 PM

And I compiled against the wrong source. Yay.

4:50 PM

Driver module loaded.

Let's see if the PPPoE issue is gone.
