new CPU, yay! I can run skyrim on high without hiccups. My life is complete!

Oliver Salzburg

@ЯрославРахматуллин Congrats on life completion! :D

Ярослав Рахматуллин

I had to flash the bios for the second time because of a new cpu. Floppies are still good for something!

Bob

00:24

o.O

my BIOS/UEFI loads new firmware from USB mass storage...

I'm not sure it even supports floppies

allquixotic

my UEFI loads new firmware from the internet :P

Ярослав Рахматуллин

Well, yeah. I could probably load a dos from a usb stick. But it's more straight forward to burn a win90se boot disc and load the flash utility and bios off a floppy, because the boot disc probably doesn't support ntfs or usb sticks.

and you cant make music with usb sticks!

Journeyman Geek

blah

got tt-rss installed but it dosen't run :/

Oliver Salzburg

@JourneymanGeek Post more questions, I need the rep! ;D

Journeyman Geek

its not really AUish

and I have no idea where it goes ;p

it says "Exception: TypeError, eventName.include is not a function"

Oliver Salzburg

00:38

Where?

Journeyman Geek

as soon as I log in using the default username and password ;p

Oliver Salzburg

Like, is it from the backend or the frontend?

Journeyman Geek

frontend

Oliver Salzburg

It's too late for me to get into it

Journeyman Geek

now that it mostly works though, I'll just replace it with the current version and see ;p

np

no rush, I need to get back to assignmenting anyway ;p

@allquixotic they all seem .... major problems

@allquixotic It launches in India an July.. do i go for it ?

This question is not being close voted by mods, it's voted upon by users of this site, your question is too localized because idle and maximum temperatures differ from person to person, they depend on ambient temperatures, airflow of your case, and if you did a bad thermal job, you can expect high temperatures.

wonders if this is okay

Journeyman Geek

totally

I posted about the same things moments later

HackToHell

phew ;p

Journeyman Geek

ahahahahaha

apparently my brother told my mom he loves the new keyboard

Bob

o.O

Journeyman Geek

ANOTHER CONVERT TO THE WAY OF THE CLICKY KEYBOARD

Bob

04:41

new keyboard?

oh lol

Journeyman Geek

@Bob: swapped the dead logitech on the shared desktop to a razer blackwidow 2013

Bob

I'm still happy with my free keyboards :P

the day these break (and I'm forced to use one of the crappier ones), I might get a good mechanical one.. but they're so freaking expensive

Journeyman Geek

@Bob: Personally they're worth it

Bob

heh. I've been keeping an eye out for any sales. If that ever happens...

Journeyman Geek

same way I got mine ;p

I actually love this keyboard enough that if I go overseas permanantly, keyboard's going into my luggage ;p

Bob

04:43

are there any laptops using those keys?

Journeyman Geek

nope

Bob

I guess they travel too far

Journeyman Geek

yup

and are relatively complex

Bob

huh

Cherry ML

www.cherrycorp.com/english/switches/key/ml.htm

Low notebook profile, 0.272 inch (6.9mm)
from PCB (no keycap)
3mm travel

So it's definitely possible...

David

Hey, isn't "-y" the "use all defaults" wildcard in RHEL when running scripts that have prompts?

Bob

04:45

still a little thicker than most scissor switches, and might not fit on an ultrabook, but the larger laptops could use one

David

I tried Googling it, but Google isn't being friendly...

Journeyman Geek

I think it really means 'yes to all'

David

Ahh...

Journeyman Geek

so yeah practically speaking that should be the case

the wildcard is program specific tho

Bob

@David when googling flags, enclose it in quotes

like "-y"

otherwise, the - is interpreted as don't include this in the results

David

04:46

Thanks! @Bob... My Google-fu is weak tonight...

So @JourneymanGeek, you think running vmware tools installer with -y would run through the install script without asking questions? I am writing documentation.

Journeyman Geek

@David: ooh, I have no idea

Bob

inspect the source? :P

Journeyman Geek

since vmware tools is for vm guests, why not make a snapshot and try it?

David

That's okay. Next week or this weekend, I will have to try it so I can put it in some documentation for the datacenter I work at.

Thanks guys!

g'night!

Journeyman Geek

ahh damn

apparently I forgot to get the powered hub I need to get eventually off DX, and that would have pushed me up to tracked shipping

Bob

04:50

@David I can take a look at it on Kubuntu, if you want?

The install script should be the same.

David

I gotta get home or my girlfriend is gonna get pissed...

Bob

there doesn't seem to be a -y defined in vmware-install.pl

David

I really appreciate it though!

Bob

perhaps the installer itself has one though

David

hmm... I just had to run through the installer 6 times tonight on client machines. I wanted to try it very bad, but didn't want to have to revert to a snapshot if I didn't have to.

Bob

04:51

you could also try piping yes into it

David

That would be a good idea too.

Bob

sorry, I can't actually test the installation right now

currently doing something on that VM :P

David

it's okay. I appreciate the input. I gotta leave work anyways. My girlfriend wants me to get home. (end of my shift)

Have a good weekend!

Bob

you too

Bob

07:08

@David use -d

07:52

hm

@allquixotic perhaps Unity isn't as robust as I thought

The program 'codeblocks' received an X Window System error.

Journeyman Geek

08:05

unity... robust?

Bob

@JourneymanGeek VMware Unity. Not Ubuntu Unity.

Journeyman Geek

ahh ;p

Bob

important distinction :P

Journeyman Geek

one I had entirely insufficient evidence to infer ;p

Bob

lol

Journeyman Geek

08:30

ugh

the old reader still hasn't imported my OPML feed

2 days on ;p

amusingly, this is a pretty exciting time for all 2 of us (apparently) who use rss feeds, since everyone's scrambling to fill the gap

Bob

looking at the MSO thread about the removal of accept rates...

I don't understand those people who refuse to answer based on a low accept rate :\

Journeyman Geek

Thats silly

Bob

Even if they feel the asker doesn't 'deserve' an answer, what if someone else has the same question? If they ask, it'll be marked as a duplicate. Of an unanswered question purely because the asker of that one has a low accept rate.

Journeyman Geek

you arn't just helping the asker, you're helping everyone else

Bob

@JourneymanGeek old reader?

Journeyman Geek

08:34

@Bob: the old reader, google reader clone I want to try out

theoldreader.com

Bob

oh, something literally named old reader? :P

Journeyman Geek

yes ;p

Bob

that explains a lot

Journeyman Geek

the old reader

Boris_yo

Interesting what would happen if a person running pirated Windows XP tries to upgrade with Windows 7 OEM legitimate copy?

Journeyman Geek

08:55

its a full install

so nothing

Boris_yo

09:07

@JourneymanGeek But Windows XP file are cracked and this is what W7 upgrade can find. It can find the license has been wrong/used and block install stating "pirated copy".

Journeyman Geek

09:18

OEM != upgrade isn't it?

also I thought upgrade versions check to see if there's a previous windows install

NOT check the keys

Boris_yo

09:34

What means "No Beeps = No Power, Loose Card, or Short."

How do you troubleshoot loose card and electrical short?

Journeyman Geek

09:51

card is simple

remove and reinstall

short is trickier

best way is to take out motherboard and put it on insulated surface

Journeyman Geek

10:07

then benchtest

start with a minimal set of things, and add until it works perfectly, or stops working

Bob

10:17

every time I try to install an unofficial package, I break something :P

Journeyman Geek

lol

like a proper unofficial package, or from source?

Bob

proper package

in this case, teamviewer from a deb package

apparently it has 300 MB of dependencies o.O

earlier, it was codeblocks from a ppa

Journeyman Geek

o0

Bob

from source (ip6tables) worked surprisingly well with some help from slhck and allquixotic :P

I get the feeling it's installing GNOME o.O

or at least all the libraries

Journeyman Geek

10:40

whoot

down to 28 people in the queue before me

Bob

queue?

Journeyman Geek

for importing my google reader feeds into the old reader

I went from 6000 to 3000, to 9000.... and its ALMOST done... over 2 days ;p

Bob

you've got to be kidding me

all that trouble

Journeyman Geek

might have been 6000 to 9000

Bob

so many packages

Journeyman Geek

10:42

lol

XD

Bob

installed teamviewer from a deb package

and it's running with WINE?!

@JourneymanGeek how did it increase?

Journeyman Geek

beats me

my guess is they got so overloaded something went wrong

Ell

Hi guys

Journeyman Geek

lo @Ell

Meh nevermind

I can't type in anywhere else but firefox so apologies for a little bit of junk :3

ls /usr/bin | grep cin

Humm, I'd really like to build something on the Pi right now to make it an RSS terminal :D I'll call it RaSSberryPi or something.

There! I said it! :P

Journeyman Geek

got Oldreader working

HackToHell

> The hair around the universe's plughole is ENTIRE GALAXIES.

Journeyman Geek

its missing one critical thing. Its showing all my feeds

HackToHell

11:21

from cracked.com/blog/…

Oliver Salzburg

Journeyman Geek

XD

Blah, mine still dosen't run ;p

HackToHell

So now that you people have tried almost every other rss reader out there, what is the best ? ;p

Journeyman Geek

sadly?

still google

the old reader is close but seriously, not hiding empty feeds totaly fucks up my mojo

trying to decide if I want to pay for newsblur ( @sathya seems to like it) or hope digg does some magic

if you don't have like a thousand dead feeds like I do, the old reader is the best option

just forget about using the automated import for now

Oliver Salzburg

Well, lots of OSS. Stuff is just going to get better now

Journeyman Geek

11:28

@OliverSalzburg: that's what I keep telling myself ;p

HackToHell

newsblur is a mess, i want something simplistic ;p

going to try oldreader

Oliver Salzburg

@JourneymanGeek Get your code pants and start contributing! :D

Journeyman Geek

@OliverSalzburg: lol, another excuse to learn python? ;p

Oliver Salzburg

I'll try finishing my tt-rss install now

tt-rss seems to be written in PHP though

Journeyman Geek

yeah it is

HackToHell

11:30

@OliverSalzburg is it nice ?

Journeyman Geek

@HackToHell: i'm having trouble getting it to work

and documentation's confusing ;p

HackToHell

:(

Journeyman Geek

which is PRECISELY why I want it set up on a VM

so I can share ;p

Oliver Salzburg

There is an Apache config for tt-rss!

Had to revise my answer ;D

Alright, next step :P

Journeyman Geek

@OliverSalzburg: Your answer worked

Bob

11:33

@OliverSalzburg quck! claim it as a trademark!

Journeyman Geek

the installer is just fucked up

Bob

:P

Oliver Salzburg

@JourneymanGeek Yeah, my config is identical to theirs, I just didn't see it ;D

Journeyman Geek

@OliverSalzburg: I selected apache when installing

your change worked

Oliver Salzburg

@JourneymanGeek Yeah, it just doesn't link the generated config into the apache config folder

HackToHell

11:34

link ?

Journeyman Geek

to?

Oliver Salzburg

My initial approach was to write your own config, but that is not necessary

Journeyman Geek

theoldreader.com that's the old reader

HackToHell

oliver's answer to get ttrss working !

Journeyman Geek

its the best of the lot, but as I said, it has one major annoyance

oh

its on AU

Q: Installing tt-rss : files arn't where they ought to be

I'm currently trying to install the tt-rss package (tiny tiny rss) on ubuntu 12.10 via ubuntu' s official packages. The installation process seems to have worked - but the files I need to run are on /usr/share/tt-rss rather than /var/www/ something. Its obviously not working for me - the database...

HackToHell

11:38

meh I am not trying it then ;p

sigh There are 31592 users in the import queue ahead of you.

sweet mother of snoopy

I was at like 9K, and it took me 2 days >_>

kseen

Hi guys!

HackToHell

hi !

kseen

Could anyone help me with accessing LAN over VPN? I got working VPN server and want to access another machine that is in LAN where is VPN server hosted.

So I got 10.10.100.245 for my machine and 10.10.100.1 for VPN server, the server itself in target LAN has an IP address 10.17.94.16

Journeyman Geek

what OSes?

kseen

11:42

Win

Journeyman Geek

all of them?

kseen

Yep

HackToHell

Is 10.17.xx.xx on the same subnet or not ?

kseen

yes

The target machine, I want to get access to, is 10.17.94.22

Sysadmin on my firm set an static route on 10.17.94.22

So I could access this internal (10.17.94.22) machine through VPN through 10.10.100.1

But I can't remember an IP address I should use to connect to target machine. :)

What it can be?

@HackToHell Do you bro have any ideas about it? :)

HackToHell

I hate VPNs and networking configs are over my head, sorry :(

Ell

11:51

Hi again

I am stuck :/

Oliver Salzburg

@JourneymanGeek Go to /usr/share/tt-rss/lib and run sudo rm prototype.js && sudo wget http://prototypejs.org/assets/2009/8/31/prototype.js

Then it will work

You could also create an installation from scratch or grab a more recent tt-rss package

The version in the package is not compatible with prototype 1.7

Journeyman Geek

in short, the package is just plain fucked ;p

Oliver Salzburg

Has been fixed quite a while ago actually, but yeah :D launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tt-rss/+changelog

Journeyman Geek

also... rum?

well, mine's the current latest package

HackToHell

Set up tt-rss !

It's not working :(

Oliver Salzburg

11:58

@JourneymanGeek The latest in the repository != the latest :P

Journeyman Geek

version in repo is useless ;p

I guess I can gank the config file ... and...

Oliver Salzburg

Well, my installation works ;D

HackToHell

It works for me now ;p

Journeyman Geek

yeah yeah ;p

HackToHell

Need to go to each feed and hit update tho

Journeyman Geek

12:01

how do I remove the alias I created earlier?

HackToHell

The default update time is 15 min and it does not update the feeds after a import :/

Journeyman Geek

@HackToHell: ttrss?

HackToHell

yeah

Journeyman Geek

damn it, you guys are faster than me :/

HackToHell

Grr, I want it to be like Google Reader :P

Journeyman Geek

12:03

@HackToHell: that's what EVERYONE wants

HackToHell

A rss post does not expand !! it opens up in another box(?) :/

My display is too small for it to that ;p

@JourneymanGeek :P

Journeyman Geek

and thats the funny thing, I don't think anyone else would have made a decent greader clone until this ;p

Bob

just get used to a different reader...

acquired tastes :P

Journeyman Geek

@Bob: blah

Bob

lol

HackToHell

12:04

me wants @OliverSalzburg to hack Tiny Tiny Rss and make it like good old Google Reader :P

Journeyman Geek

@Bob: people like google reader cause it got some stuff seriously right

Bob

well, you should be able to excuse minor differences..

Journeyman Geek

lol

some of this is pretty major

Bob

or, if you wanna provide a list of features, we could try adapting that site

Journeyman Geek

I mean, some is userscript fixable I think

Bob

12:05

the SuperUser RSS Reader! :P

HackToHell

\o/

Now go write it @bob

Bob

can't be that hard, we have a bunch of developers and a rather nice place if we have problems... so... :P

(I've never actually used Google Reader)

HackToHell

what ?

But how do you live ?

Journeyman Geek

lol

Bob

with 777 tabs open

and it actually is that exact number

Journeyman Geek

12:07

@HackToHell: apparently there's a large proportion of the population that hasn't realised how glorious RSS feeds are. Then there's Felicia Day ;p

Bob

@JourneymanGeek tried them before

hated them

far more convenient for me to just visit sites as I want to :P

part of the hate is likely cause the first two clients I tried were Outlook and Thunderbird..

and the feeds I tried were mostly junk

Journeyman Geek

@Bob: that would explain it

HackToHell

@JourneymanGeek lol

Bleh, can't put ttrss on my vps, it needs InnoDB :/

Bob

@HackToHell can't you install that?

HackToHell

It takes up too much memory :(

I have it disabled

Bob

12:09

or pay $1/month for the MySQL server?

HackToHell

I am not doing that :P

Bob

:P

ask @JourneymanGeek if he'll let you use his? XD

Oliver Salzburg

play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.fox.share.ttrss

Neat!

There is already hot new development!

HackToHell

getlilina.org

This looks nice ;p

Journeyman Geek

honestly, I am tempted to make a VM with every web rss client known to man ;p

Oliver Salzburg

12:14

Find one that doesn't use PHP, now there's a challenge!

Journeyman Geek

lol

HackToHell

@OliverSalzburg why o0 ?

Journeyman Geek

there's a good reason for that

lots of rss backends are in PHP

true fact, All my mysql database passwords are truely random, and generated by radioactive decay.

Oliver Salzburg

@HackToHell I just don't like it :P PHP programmers tend to be bad programmers :P

I must know, I've been working with it for years!

Bob

@JourneymanGeek which generator is this?

I forgot :P

Journeyman Geek

12:16

hotbits ;p

Bob

oh yea

I normally use random.org if I ever need true randomness (which is never... meh)

but passwords? eh, KeyPass/Windows' PRNG is good enough

Journeyman Geek

lol

more like its easier

Bob

I'm not that paranoid

HackToHell

@OliverSalzburg lol :P

@JourneymanGeek wanna set up newsblur ? github.com/samuelclay/NewsBlur

And it does not use PHP @OliverSalzburg :P

Journeyman Geek

@HackToHell: looks like too much work

now if someone would create a single django app, with a embedded db... that makes sense ;p

HackToHell

12:21

Good @OliverSalzburg will do it for us :P

Journeyman Geek

lol

HackToHell

Lilina is really nice :D !

Oliver Salzburg

@HackToHell Looks interesting, even though I'm instantly turned off when screenshots are presented on iMacs :D

Journeyman Geek

lol

Oliver Salzburg

Humm tt-rss can not display the original site, can it?

HackToHell

12:24

lol

Journeyman Geek

got it basically running

how do I import feeds?

HackToHell

Lilina ?

Journeyman Geek

tt-rss

not triled Lilina yet

HackToHell

Actions > preferences

Feeds > opml ;p

Journeyman Geek

ahh

yeah doing now ;p

then let me shut this down PROPERLY

then start setting up another VM

nice thing about this is I'm forcing myself to set up the DBs properly, using mysql client, rather than being a pansy and using phpmyadmin

Bob

12:29

lol

Journeyman Geek

ugh, how do I hide empty feeds?

ok, worked that out

I'll try to grok updating later

augh
