Anyone got experience setting up VPN on Server 2012? I keep getting an error about connecting to something reserved for routers only

Journeyman Geek

youtube.com/watch?v=3zoTKXXNQIU this is cool

Einsteins Grandson

02:08

anybody know how to solve this?

I have a jar package full of source files in Java

the problem is that all the files are in some strange encoding

it is supposed to be UTF-8

but when i open the package in NetBeans, I see something like chinese characters

;o)

and NetBeans says :

File cannot be safely opened with encoding windows 1252. Do you want to continue opening it?

when i try to open any of the source files

tapped-out

have you tried opening it in other editors?

(notepad++, sublime tex)

Einsteins Grandson

i did

notepad++ works

so what options do i have?

just creating new project in netbeans

and then ctrl+c , ctrl+v of all the source files?

tapped-out

that's one option

Einsteins Grandson

what is the other?

is this a problem of Netbeans 7 only?

tapped-out

02:23

or you could maybe convert the format to something else (ASCII, UTF-16) with notepad++

i'm not sure

Einsteins Grandson

Netbeans 6 didn't have it?

tapped-out

not sure, been a while since i've been in netbeans

Einsteins Grandson

so Notepad++ will convert all those crazy chracters like á ä.... into a ?

tapped-out

it did for me when i had a similar prob

YMMV

Einsteins Grandson

ok

ymmv?

what do you mean?

tapped-out

02:27

your mileage may vary

Einsteins Grandson

ok

tapped-out

meaning it might not work out for you like it did me

Einsteins Grandson

:o)

tapped-out

yeah. hope that helps

Einsteins Grandson

ok

now i have all the source files without non- English characters

now i should create jar packages from all those source files right?

or what?

Do Cisco routers usually have protecting from brute forcing? I have an M350 or something at my house, but I put DDWRT on it, and I can't remember

Journeyman Geek

by cisco, do you mean consumer linksys routers?

ekaj

Well, I meant like a business access point I guess

Journeyman Geek

03:02

ahh

ekaj

03:12

Looks interesting, going to try it - lifehacker.com/5978098/…

However, wouldn't your internet speeds be limited by the speed of the computers it's passing through?

I don't think Hamachi established a direct link between A and B, but I could be wrong

Journeyman Geek

I thought it only used their servers to broker the connection

then its peer to peer

ekaj

Could be, I'll have to look that up

Well, accourding to softonic it's P2P, so I guess you's right

Einsteins Grandson

03:38

what's wrong if NetBeans says:

SnakeDoc

ewww. netbeans

Eclipse FTW lol

Einsteins Grandson

public class UFOTest extends junit.framework.TestCase

package junit.framework does not exist

?

SnakeDoc

this is telling you that class UFOTest is extending TestCase from the junit.framework package

HackToHell

Humble bundle added more games o0

Einsteins Grandson

do I have to import junit.framework?

SnakeDoc

03:39

if the package does not exist, it means it can't find it... likely not in your library includes

Einsteins Grandson

I have JDK 1.7

SnakeDoc

you should be able to right click on the Jar file for that library (package) and set it to be included in the build path

Einsteins Grandson

It's not in there?

HackToHell

@EinsteinsGrandson that's olllld

SnakeDoc

Junit would be some 3rd party package/library

JDK 1.7 is not old HackToHell

Einsteins Grandson

03:40

what do you mean?

HackToHell?

SnakeDoc

he doesn't know what he's talking about Einsteins

HackToHell

whoopsie ;p version number mashup

SnakeDoc

we'll let it slide this time HackToHell ;-P

java numberings are werid... thanks to sun

1.7 == 7

anyways, einsteins -- this means Junit package/library is not in your build path, or its in the build path but not imported to your class (so your class can't see it)

at the top of your class, you should do something like

import junit.framework.*;

see if it still has a compilation problem

Einsteins Grandson

ok

SnakeDoc

just starting out in java?

its a great language to learn

Einsteins Grandson

03:45

Junit.jar is in JDK1.7 or not?

SnakeDoc

not that i know of

Einsteins Grandson

so i have to download it?

SnakeDoc

junit.sourceforge.net

i'd grab the jar from there -- create a folder in your netbeans called "lib" then copy it to there -- then you should be able to right click the jar file, and there should be some option somewhere to "add to build path"

Einsteins Grandson

Netbeans automatically sets up JUnit, but it is on the test classpath only. You are probably creating these test classes in your main source tree? That is not going to work, Netbeans has a separate area in your project structure to put unit tests.

SnakeDoc

i work in eclipse so it may be slightly different for netbeans

lets back up -- what are you trying to accomplish?

simply compile a file?

Einsteins Grandson

03:47

no

i have the whole project

and there a testing class

in it

which i want to run

to test if the project works as it should

is doing what it should be doing..

SnakeDoc

hmm...

Einsteins Grandson

i had all those source files - all of them .java....

created empty NetBeans project

and copied all the source files into directory : src

SnakeDoc

is there a structure to the source files (as in their package folders)...

for example... if i were to have some project in a package com.mytest.package

my directory structure would be

com/mytest/package

Einsteins Grandson

in the project direcotry there are only 2 directories

-nbproject

-src

and 2 files

SnakeDoc

actually... this link looks like it might help you reimport the entire thing as new project with existing source

jclec.sourceforge.net/…

Einsteins Grandson

03:52

-build.xml

-manifest.mf

SnakeDoc

its a guide for setting up some other project, but should be mostly the same...

HackToHell

whee live.bittorrent.com

SnakeDoc

this will let netbeans do the work for you and create all the imports for the classpath ,etc

Einsteins Grandson

ok

Junit is not in JDK?

SnakeDoc

:/

not that i know of

Junit is a library for testing

3rd party library

Einsteins Grandson

03:54

do i have to download it and add to my project: Add required libraries ?

SnakeDoc

depends if its already included in your project (somewhere in some directory) or not... but from what you posted above, it does not sound like it's there

junit.sourceforge.net

Einsteins Grandson

as in the guide you sent me link for?

SnakeDoc

that's junit's project homepage - you could download the jar from there

Einsteins Grandson

OK

i will do it

SnakeDoc

if your project has it as a dependency (sounds like it does) then ya you'll want to download it first and have netbeans import that in as well

Einsteins Grandson

03:56

ok

SnakeDoc

basically on that guide, it looks like hwere it talks about adding the jclec4-bas jar file you'll just swap that to the junit jar file

Einsteins Grandson

hamcrest-core.jar also?

Plain-old JAR

Download the following JARs and put them on your test classpath:
junit.jar
hamcrest-core.jar

SnakeDoc

if that is needed by ur prject then yes

Einsteins Grandson

i am not sure, but i will add it also ...

SnakeDoc

code.google.com/p/hamcrest/downloads/list

looks to be fore hamcrest but i could be wrong

never heard of that library before

don't worry Einsteins -- once you figure out how to get things going in netbeans/eclipse, its must smoother sailing from there

Anyone awake know how to turn on nginx logs..? lol

I tried editing nginx.conf and adding access_log on; then resetting, but it didn't work

I take that back, I was trying to open a directory as a text file.. sorry

Bob

hrm

should I be worried that an LED on my computer's front panel is flickering?

how the heck does it even flicker?

(this should be constantly illuminated, and the matching one on the other side on the same circuit, in parallel, is fine)

Journeyman Geek

what is the LED supposed to do? ;p

Bob

uhh

be an annoyingly bright blue light

xD

Journeyman Geek

I mean, what's the purpose of the LED? ;p

power?

lol

my desktop is currently covered in things with blue lights ._.

keyboard, external sound card, USB hub/mouse bungee.... Prolly should set the mouse to match.

Bob

@JourneymanGeek illumination

:P

it lights up when my computer turns on

that's... about it.

Journeyman Geek

10:16

(though the desktop has white LEDs, and the motherboard and speakers have green ones...)

power indicator LED then ;p

ahh

Bob

@JourneymanGeek not really, that's on the switch itself

this is one of four additional LEDs :P

Journeyman Geek

If it dosen't do anything, why worry? ;p

Bob

well, the flickering is annoying :P

and I'm wondering just how it's happening

if it's a short, or has the potential to short, then that's bad..

likewise if the PSU has a failing (3.3V?) rail

Journeyman Geek

you'd want to start by working out how those lights are powered? ;p

Bob

uhh

uhm

wire going into the mess inside the computer

-_-

Journeyman Geek

10:18

...

I thought only sata used 3.3 V for some reason

most things were 5 or 12V

ekaj

Should be a set of jumpers on your mobo that go to the wires

Journeyman Geek

what case?

@ekaj: >_> if they are fan-wire powered I might have an answer ;p

Bob

splits off from a red and black of one of the 4-pin peripheral molex connectors

apparently +5V and ground

@JourneymanGeek hey, that was a random guess - I know green LEDs like ~2.4V :P

but there's three other LEDs in parallel that are fine

just one flickering

so just one dying :\

but I didn't even know LEDs could flicker like that (given a steady power supply)

that molex connector is on the same line coming out of hte PSU as two SATA HDDs and a small fan in the front (also on 5V)

now I'm going to put my computer back together :P

Journeyman Geek

10:38

@Bob vaguely informed guess in my case. Read up on power back when I was going to use what I had lying around for my current desktop

Bob

@JourneymanGeek I guess it could be the fan, but... the other LEDs on the same line are fine :P

Journeyman Geek

One psu lacked molex, the other sata

hmm

could be a bad connection

the LEDs are in parallel so if the power voltage was low it would act the same way

Bob

pretty consistent flickering

like, pulse on off on off

if I had to guess, maybe 5 times a second

:S

Journeyman Geek

thats odd

so fairly fast

Bob

not the kind of flicker from flourescent lights

I have never seen a LED do this on its own

Journeyman Geek

10:48

yeah

Bob

yeouch

7 upvotes before I finished my answer (ok, some delay due to googling and verifying that it was Slowaris where killall kills all

So it started quite rapidly.

I don't think cat works like that >_>

First question was how do I concatenate two files.

Now, a dozen edits later, it is about words per file

Oliver Salzburg

@JourneymanGeek That sounded very condescending :D

As much as a chat message can sound anyway ;D

Hennes

11:53

I also edit my stuff after I spot typos our wanted to clarify, but it helps to think of a question, formulate it and only then hit post

Oliver Salzburg

Journeyman Geek

blah, net is REALLY slow today

pathping is really cool tho

HackToHell

Ice Age was super realistic !

Oliver Salzburg

@JourneymanGeek What's pathping? I was thinking about mtr when you said that :P

...which is also very cool

Journeyman Geek

12:08

@OliverSalzburg: @Bob mentioned it, its like a cross between ping and tracert

Oliver Salzburg

So is mtr :D

Journeyman Geek

linux? ;p

Oliver Salzburg

Yeah

Journeyman Geek

I was gonna ask about that at some point ;p

Oliver Salzburg

that's cooler than pathping ;p

Oliver Salzburg

Is the only way to create a CrashPlan account through their application?

Man, I really don't know why I still use this piece of crap

Journeyman Geek

lol

I had problems with it too

Oliver Salzburg

I'm trying to get this thing installed on a system for weeks now

weeks!

Journeyman Geek

12:21

not bothered to reinstall it for now :/

>_>

mine just stopped backing up ;p

Oliver Salzburg

First, it wouldn't work due to folder redirection being set up

So I tore that whole thing down just to install CrashPlan

Now it won't let me register an account because they don't use the proxy that is configured for the system

And I can't create an account on their website...

Why?!

Journeyman Geek

<_<

Oliver Salzburg

And they have first-class non-support as well

Journeyman Geek

lol

don't most computer companies?

Oliver Salzburg

"Have you tried rebooting?" "OK, have you tried reinstalling?"

Journeyman Geek

12:23

(my current favourite mouse maker not withstanding)

"Have you tried turning it off and on?"

Oliver Salzburg

I don't believe this... seems like I can't even log in with another account O__O

Journeyman Geek

>_>

erroring, or just doing SFA?

Oliver Salzburg

Tries for 2 minutes, then tells me there's a "network error"

Journeyman Geek

>_>

Oliver Salzburg

The funny thing is, they do support proxies, but you can only configure them once the application is running

Makes sense, right?

NO!

:D

Journeyman Geek

12:25

lol

suuuuuureeeeee it does

(and now, I'm actually being contracending, not to you tho ;p)

grab a phone and use that for setup?

Oliver Salzburg

It's a remote system

Journeyman Geek

blah

at this point, a lead pipe (do they even make lead pipe) sounds like a good idea ;p

HackToHell

@JourneymanGeek your computer is named Athena :D

Do you read Percy Jackson and stuff ?

Oliver Salzburg

Man, I bet RS components put a red flag on my account after this order

Journeyman Geek

@HackToHell: no, I read cryptonomicon

Oliver Salzburg

12:32

I ordered 2 RaspPis and 1 roll of tape to get just a few cents over the amount where they offer free shipping

Journeyman Geek

After that, I ended up getting a greek/roman goddess naming scheme

Oliver Salzburg

Then I selected "send as quickly as possible"

Causing them to send 3 packages

Journeyman Geek

I used to have a juno, I currently have an artemis, and a nyx

XD

Raspis are sent from the UK anyway

other stuff is sent locally

I was quite sure raspi shipping was seperate tho

ooh

HackToHell

artemis sucks, who likes a band of immortal huntresses :P

Oliver Salzburg

Pretty sure they have a stock in Germany from where they dispatched my parcels

Journeyman Geek

12:33

@OliverSalzburg: could you help me test my qtbitorrent build? ;p

@HackToHell: it used to be alice

Oliver Salzburg

@JourneymanGeek Gladly! It really doesn't work right for me

Thinking about ditching it again

HackToHell

@JourneymanGeek lol

Journeyman Geek

@OliverSalzburg: will upload it when I get home ;p

it compiles for me, not tested it downloading yet

can't get my HDD working

Oliver Salzburg

I get I/O errors on like every 10th torrent

Journeyman Geek

oh, not on windows

Oliver Salzburg

12:34

Even if I retry the download 100 times, it will always fail

Load it into µTorrent, works on the first run

Journeyman Geek

its for the raspi, I have the version without the GUI setup ;p

Oliver Salzburg

At first I thought someone is poisoning my torrents :D

@JourneymanGeek Oh, cool

HackToHell

But what do you guys torrent ? :P

Oliver Salzburg

So, yeah, I received a parcel, with 1 roll of 3m duct tape. The shipping was, most likely, more expensive than the tape

And another parcel with 1 Pi Model A in it

And I'm expecting another Model B to arrive shortly :D

Both the tape and the Pi are Made in China

Journeyman Geek

@HackToHell: linux distros, duh!

Oliver Salzburg

12:37

Pi comes from the UK though

Who is making any money off of this stuff?

Journeyman Geek

@OliverSalzburg: wierd, most of the PI production moved to UK

china has its own PI version

Oliver Salzburg

@JourneymanGeek Oh, you're right!

Journeyman Geek

@OliverSalzburg: does that matter? ;p

(the version 2/512mb is UK made. If you have a RED pcb or a version 1, its chinese. V1 sucks in comparison since you can't power it off the same active hub you plug into it)

Oliver Salzburg

@JourneymanGeek Yeah. If you can get a roll of duct tape shipped to your front door for 3eur and the tape was originally made in China...

I think it's relevant :D

Journeyman Geek

I mean "Who is making money off this stuff"

WRT the pi

its a great cheap platform, and since its a success, there's various cheap systems of similar nature

Oliver Salzburg

12:40

I was only referring to my specific order of items ;D

Journeyman Geek

Ahh

Hennes

3 packages? I can see 2 (one with 2 pies, one with the tape).

Oliver Salzburg

Maybe I should have invested in SD cards instead of that stupid duct tape

Hennes

But three is mindnumbing.

Oliver Salzburg

@Hennes Only the model A was available, model B is delayed

Hennes

12:49

Re SD cards: Get one suitable for an OS. (E.g. read up on IOps vs thoughput on SD cards, which differs a damn lot)

E.g. www.tomshardware.co.uk › Performance Charts › External Storage

Oliver Salzburg

@Hennes Last time I looked into one of those horrible "What's the best SD card of a Pi" threads somewhere on the net :P

Hennes

I got a suitabel SD card a long time ago.

No Pi yet though

Oliver Salzburg

Some Kingston card seemed to be highly recommended

I got this Pi to be a MP3 player basically, so, yeah

It's not really for experimenting

It's a drop-in audio playback device :D

Hennes

Fair enough. High power using audio player though

But very flexible

Oliver Salzburg

The flexibility is the important bit

And in the environments where we plan to use this, the power consumption of a Pi will be undetectable

Alternative suggestions are always welcome, of course :) But now I already have the Pi... and I wouldn't want to waste any Pi :P

Hennes

12:56

Oh G-d. Sometimes I feel so dumb when reading physics.stackexchange. Most of that time/space stuff is way above me. And then someone posts something 1st grade like this: physics.stackexchange.com/questions/56741/…
