oops room goes silent

@jokerdino Gentoo remains my "favorite" distro, but the compile times bug me enough that I only use it on my desktop and media server, everything else is debian

@HackToHell you broke the room with the car!

jokerdino

@Paul i was about to try debian yesterday but couldn't.

HackToHell

@Paul And the car broke down

jokerdino

need to download iso and create a liveusb

HackToHell

Need help with the iso ?

Gimme the link

Tom Wijsman

1:07 PM

@Paul Well, there's a multitude of solutions to get rid of most of that. See my above config which is heavily optimized towards cutting it down. As you have multiple computers you could even create a binary package host and only have one computer do the work, or use distcc to get everyone to compile together.

Paul

@jokerdino There are a bunch of options to getting a debian install going. One amusing way is to do a PXE boot and install it direct from a mirror, without any installation media at all

Tom Wijsman

And if you run stable (instead of testing like me) you should receive less updates overall.

HackToHell

Do what @Paul said, it might work

jokerdino

@Paul that sounds interesting. but my network might block off the installation half way through :S

Tom Wijsman

@jokerdino How exactly would it block?

HackToHell

1:08 PM

The link man <_>

Paul

@TomWijsman yeah, I was using distcc but also multiple arches and managing it was no longer fun. So I use debian for the servers I don't want to tinker with, and gentoo for the fun ones

jokerdino

@TomWijsman when you hit the download limit?

Tom Wijsman

@jokerdino Speed or bandwidth?

jokerdino

B/w

Tom Wijsman

Hmm, yeah, you probably want to consider gathering the necessities over time and then switching over.

(Or download part of it over some public WiFi connection)

jokerdino

1:10 PM

that might work..

Tom Wijsman

Then put it on USB.

jokerdino

yeah

Paul

@jokerdino your ISP doesn't have a local mirror?

jokerdino

my school network probably doesn't

( i live in a boarding school...)

Paul

@jokerdino If you live in a boarding school you should have figured out how to bypass the restrictions by now :)

HackToHell

1:12 PM

Well said

jokerdino

@Paul i tried but they have covered all the routes.

only port 80 is open.

and then you have a scary web filter

Paul

@jokerdino 80 goes to a proxy I take it?

jokerdino

hi @Mokubai

Paul

@jokerdino Do ssl sites work?

jokerdino

80 goes to a local login server.

@Paul some https sites are whitelisted

HackToHell

1:13 PM

What login server ?

jokerdino

1.1.1.1

Paul

@jokerdino Catch and release

jokerdino

when you start your browser in a new session, you need to login in 1.1.1.1 and then you can browse as normal

@Paul hm?

Journeyman Geek

@jokerdino: so wierd. I test unzipped the file on my copy

Paul

@jokerdino Nothing, thats just what they are called where you have a login server like that - usually you are automatically directed to it

jokerdino

1:16 PM

@Paul yes. I dont know the terminology. thanks

@JourneymanGeek so, how do i proceed?

Paul

@jokerdino I managed to bypass one at a hotel a while back

Journeyman Geek

@jokerdino: good question

jokerdino

@Paul well, i am not a black / white hat :/

@JourneymanGeek :P

HackToHell

@jokerdino so you are a grey one

Paul

@jokerdino Me neither - I just wanted to see it would work

jokerdino

1:17 PM

@HackToHell lol

@Paul you might want to try our network here too :))

HackToHell

@jokerdino Please search for a god forsaken http proxy over port 80 that is not encrypted !

Paul

@jokerdino Often those catch and release systems let DNS out to the outside world, or even ping. You can tunnel a VPN over either of these

HackToHell

You will eventually find one after days

jokerdino

@HackToHell where do i search? they block all proxy listing sites

HackToHell

Tor too didn't work right ?

@jokerdino please w8 monsieur

Journeyman Geek

1:19 PM

maybe md5 sum the files?

jokerdino

@Paul heh I wouldn't mind trying but i am not that technically knowledgeable either.

@JourneymanGeek good idea?

Journeyman Geek

@jokerdino: dl.dropbox.com/u/32285937/dino/md5.txt

Paul

@jokerdino Yeah, you need a domain and a name server to do DNS tunnelling. But man it put a smile on my face when I got it to work. Then I just switched my 3G connection back on and go on with what I had to do

HackToHell

@jokerdino hacktohell1.bo.lt/59bnn

jokerdino

woah, go easy on the pings

HackToHell

1:21 PM

@Paul Always wanted to try that out

jokerdino

@JourneymanGeek google chrome thinks it is in dutch o.O

Journeyman Geek

lol

jokerdino

@Paul i don't own a domain and others :/

@HackToHell thanks

HackToHell

@jokerdino analogbit.com/software/tcp-over-dns

Journeyman Geek

@jokerdino: free domain. nameserver is tricky

HackToHell

1:23 PM

I still have to try it out though, it might not work

@JourneymanGeek Found this freedns.afraid.org

Journeyman Geek

lol

I have had a .co.cc for ages

jokerdino

well, let's hold this bypassing talk

i am gonna install kies for now

and after a couple of months, ill go home and do whatever i want with the restrictionless network

Paul

@jokerdino Firmware for these phones is pretty big too - what is your limit?

jokerdino

50 MB per download

there is NO daily / weekly / monthly download AFAIK

@JourneymanGeek hm how do i find the md5sum here?

Paul

@jokerdino The ones at XDA are 120MB

jokerdino

1:26 PM

well crap

BloodPhilia

Hey people! :D

Paul

Perhaps kies will be able to download it in chunks

Tom Wijsman

@jokerdino Kies means Choose.

BloodPhilia

Anyone here who could give me some router advice? :D

Per chance

jokerdino

@TomWijsman What language?

Tom Wijsman

1:27 PM

@jokerdino: Dutch.

jokerdino

@TomWijsman Interesting

Paul

@BloodPhilia What are you after?

BloodPhilia

Well! I was looking for dual-band/N/stufflikethat

And got to this

netgear.nl/home/products/wirelessrouters/high-performance/…

Wanted to know if anyone could tell me something about it

Paul

@BloodPhilia Oooh, I think I have one of those

BloodPhilia

@Paul Anything you could share about it? (:

jokerdino

1:29 PM

@JourneymanGeek all of them seems to match?

Paul

@BloodPhilia Well I don't think it was that specific model, but it was in the range

BloodPhilia

@Paul That's okay!

@Paul Anything you can tell me about the specs or something? (:

Paul

@BloodPhilia Well, the good news is that it has simultaneous dual-band, which some don't, which means you can run the two radios at the same time, with their own ssid if you like. Also, I recall that it has lots of antennas inside, which is good for signal and interference

@BloodPhilia The bad news is that mine is now stored in a cupboard and replaced with a Cisco Linksys E4200 because I was getting some flakiness and decided the netgear was the problem

@BloodPhilia But I changed many things in an effort to isolate it so it may have been fine

BloodPhilia

@Paul Ye... I've had some baaaad experiences with Cisco

Linksys department

Paul

@BloodPhilia I have since decided that I will only ever get APs that can be upgraded with dd-wrt

@BloodPhilia I think the problem is that no matter what AP you look at, someone will have a bad story. Just like hard disk brands.

BloodPhilia

1:35 PM

@Paul Yes, but alas, these are my own experiences :p And there are several

Tom Wijsman

@BloodPhilia .nl, how come you guys end up at Dutch stuff?

Journeyman Geek

@jokerdino: wierd then. Are you sure you unziped the right file?

jokerdino

hmm

i can be stupid

BloodPhilia

@TomWijsman I am Dutch, Tom :p

Oh wait, it's BloodPhilia!

HackToHell

The blood hound

Tom Wijsman

Is it really you? We haven't seen you for a long time... :D

Paul

@BloodPhilia Yep, I can say the same about netgear :) this is my point

BloodPhilia

@Paul fair enough :D

Journeyman Geek

@BloodPhilia is not a hound

he's a cat

Tom Wijsman

1:38 PM

@JourneymanGeek: So, there's three cats in the room now.

jokerdino

@JourneymanGeek ok how do i unzip it now?

HackToHell

ik !!

BloodPhilia

@TomWijsman It is really me, yes! I've been consumed by my studies and other stuff

@TomWijsman Three cats?

Journeyman Geek

@jokerdino: pick the file ending with .1 and unzip it with 7zip?

HackToHell

@TomWijsman and a penguin

jokerdino

1:38 PM

@JourneymanGeek i think i am doing the same.

i feel like a utter noob

Tom Wijsman

@slhck is not a penguin

Blog - Stack Exchange: Let’s Play The Guessing Game

Jeff Atwood on February 29, 2012

We’ve observed a particular pattern of questions emerging on several Stack Exchange sites.

All these questions are effectively guessing games.

I remember myself playing this a bit childish, but in some ways awesome game, where you control a tank, and can pick up and stack turrets (and maybe something else) from enemy tanks you kill. Maybe they also had different platforms (and if it’s one with wheels then technically it’s not a tank, but hey). It was around 2000 (or maybe even earlier) and the game had 3D graphics. …

HackToHell

@Mokubai ooh Mr.Vulture

Q: Font recognition software

Manytimes I come across bitmaps with nothing but text paragraphs, so I was looking for a software that can semi-automatically identify the font used, the para alignment, line spacing and color, bold, italics. Would an OCR package include such a tool?

Q: Is there a program that can scan an image and tell you what font type it's using?

Is there a program that can scan an image and tell you what font type it's using? Possibly by dragging a box around a sample for example.

HackToHell

@Mokubai Umm, you had a picture of you with a vulture(or eagle) in g+

Mokubai

@HackToHell Oh, right. A Mongolian Golden Eagle, his name was Ghengis :)

jokerdino

1:47 PM

@JourneymanGeek maybe do the wget thingie? :((

DragonLord

The question would look like this (I haven't posted it yet):

#How do I identify a font?

*Given the number of users asking font identification questions, I'd like to write a canonical question on how one can identify a font.*

I ran into a font I'd like to identify based on its visual characteristics as seen in some document or image. How do I do so? What tools are available for me to do so?

HackToHell

@Mokubai ooh nice

DragonLord

@HackToHell He was a gorgeous bird, but damn is it intimidating seeing something that size swooping towards you

HackToHell

Holy shit that eagle is going to hit me !

slhck

@DragonLord Not a bad idea if we didn't already have a couple of questions covering that.

Tom Wijsman

@jokerdino: Yeah, just changed mine as well. :D

HackToHell

@Mokubai One was trying to eat my cat, was enormous

Scared the shit out of us

@slhck ...so should I post it?

HackToHell

@TomWijsman Who is that? TS is a parking lot ?

1:50 PM

@DragonLord Well, see the two questions I linked to you above. They basically cover the topic already. Dunno about the quality of the answers, but WhatTheFont and Identifont are there.

Tom Wijsman

@HackToHell s/S is/S in/ :@

@HackToHell Yeah, correct.

@TomWijsman everyone be hating my new gravatar

@HackToHell I knew that he was going for my hand and the food contained there, but damn it was hard to resist the urge to just curl up into a ball or run away

jokerdino

@TomWijsman :P

but it looks... bad

it's gonna spoil my reputation

HackToHell

1:52 PM

really bad

Tom Wijsman

Yeah, doesn't look good.

DragonLord

@slhck Then what options are there for making a canonical question and answer for font identification?

HackToHell

It's like Hello Guys, I am a moron

Tom Wijsman

Hmm, the really tiny version on chat still has to update, all other versions propagated already, that's so nice.

jokerdino

@HackToHell lol

HackToHell

1:53 PM

@Mokubai They can kill us easily, I would have run away :P

slhck

@DragonLord As I said – don't we already have at least one canonical question?

DragonLord

@slhck Okay, I'll add the community-faq-proposed tag.

slhck

@DragonLord Do you have anything to improve on the existing answers? That would be the best time to do so :)

DragonLord

@slhck, thanks.

HackToHell

yeah ! I do not see a T Rex

@DragonLord Well then I would start by actually drafting up a CW-style answer of your own and then post it. We can always make the whole question and its answers CW later.

@slhck: The question author is inactive, so to ensure that the canonical answer is the accepted answer, I will most likely edit the accepted answer. I'm working on it right now.

Boris_yo

So SSD need defragging?

2

A: What does a defrag actually do?

Defragging can do two things: Ensures all the pieces of a file are located in a continuous part of the hard drive. Most files are split into smaller "fragments" that are stuck wherever there is space. At first they will be stored continuously, but gaps/incontinuities will be created when files...

Sathya

4:30 PM

@Boris_yo nope.

@avirk shrugs.

Boris_yo

@Sathya Because of "wear leveling"?

Sathya

@Boris_yo that's one, but primarily because SSD doesnt have any moving parts, so there's no need for the head to move to the area of the disc which is stored

Boris_yo

@Sathya Did you read excerpt about defragmenting SSD taken from lenovo blog?

Sathya

no

Boris_yo

Sathya

4:35 PM

that post is dated, wear leveling is really not much an issue and most SSDs have trim to take care marking deleted files as emoty

honestly, fragmentation on regular hard disks itself is a non-issue, much lesser so on SSDs

Boris_yo

If fragmented files exist, it takes several write commands.

@Sathya Which means undelete, unformat will not work on SSD compared to HDD?

Sathya

depends.

Boris_yo

@Sathya The why Lifehacker.com recommends defragmenting HDD first before migrating to SSD?

Sathya

@Boris_yo "nice to do", "recommends"

not YOU MUST OMG DO IT ELSE BABIEZ WILL DIE

Boris_yo

@Sathya Sorry, I am not proponent of sitcoms.

Sathya

4:37 PM

I don't know how a sitcom is relevant in this

Boris_yo

@Sathya I don't know how your capitalised second sentence is relevant. Unless it wasn't ment for me.

But I assume while defragging is not crucial, it's just a pretty thing to do... @Sathya

Sathya

it means your world won't end if you don't do a defrag. Like I said, fragmentation is a sham, IMO. Do it, don't do it it really doesn't matter. You want to do it, go ahead but I really doubt you'll notice a 0.0004 of a second decrease in file transfer and access.

Boris_yo

@Sathya Got your point. There is Intel Migration software and Intel SSD Toolbox. Know about them? They are recommended for migration and SSD maintenance.

Sathya

nope

SSD Toolbox is neat for stats
