@Ariane: while it would do for now, consider upgrading the power supply when its possible
and most people (myself included!) tend to overspec the PSU.
@JourneymanGeek Yeah, well, it's a very very budget build, so. :p
Overspec?
ya, get a significantly more powerful power supply than needed
I blame being half an engineer in my case
Journeyman and I get biggers PSU's than we need we we got spare capacity if we upgrade later. That way we only have to buy one CPU.
@JourneymanGeek Half engineer, half dog ?
lol
@Hennes: did 2 years of undergrad engineering
and my dad and bro are engineers
@Hennes: one does not preclude being the other ;p
@JourneymanGeek electrical?
00:12
@tapped-out: naturally
my dad's mechanical, brother is mechanical turned environmental
i'm aspiring to be an EE, wanna double major with CS once i get to college
wanna know a dirty secret about EE?
these days its about 50% computer science
and you learn hardly any hard skills
i've gotten that impression from my dad's long rants about it
(25+ years in the field)
lol
good
cause disillutionment was one of the reasons I quit EE
(the other is, it takes a VERY inspired teacher to get me to math. Ironically the one guy who managed it was a econs lecturer)
00:24
Deleting 23476 items from c:\windows\softwaredistribution. (569MB)
23 thousand items? Holy batshit updates
@Hennes is it done updating or do you still have more to go?
Hello Users which are also Super.
It is done updating
Finished that 4 hours after I started installing windows
Configured to basic desktop. Ran diskcleanup, removed XPS
I come in peace, from the land of Administrators of Systems.
Just doing a net stop wuauserv Del softwareDistribution (those 23k files) netstart wuaserv
00:27
Would it be acceptable to this channel to submit a software "shopping" question?
buy the purple one!
;-)
@jscott absolutely. shoot!
Noted
Can anyone recommend some vehicle maintenance software? Doesn't need to be super detailed, but does need to track multiple vehicles (cars and motorcycles).

I could just Google Docs it. But it would be cool to have notifications of reports, etc. oob.
I still use paper and folders for that kind of stuff.
Also, OSS or pay-for, I don't care as long as it works. Must work on Windows... Linux and OSX would be bonuses.
00:28
And'oh yeah, should have done that 3 months ago' alerts when I read them
@Hennes Me too, one of the last things I need to transition. :) Nothing like oil stained lists of part numbers without info.
What's /softwaredistribution?
@Ariane Windows Updates
It doesn't delete its own update install packages?
@Ariane Not exactly. You can stop the service and nuke the dir to gain some space.
00:32
But that folder contains the updates' install packages?
@Ariane un install packages
like if you ever needed to revert it
Oh. Sounds useful though.
most people don't need it so it saves some space if you get rid of it
deleting /softwaredistribution would be particularly useful for me once i get my W7 machine back
60 GB OS SSD whose free space has been dwindling for quite some time
My own folder is just 120 MB.
the equivalent folder(s) for XP is/are...?
00:42
I have no idea.
Maybe Google knows.
Sorry, I did so much searching my level of laziness has reached a paramount.
@tapped-out I think it's the same path
Don't have an xp box left to check though
i'm sitting in front of one now :P
for a few more days, at least
huh. so there is a softwaredistribution folder that's about 300 MB
there's also a whole bunch of compressed $NtUninstall...$ folders that total up to about 200 MB on disk
and a $hf_mig$ folder with an additional 500 MB
The folder has the same name on XP
I didn't tell you this, but you can nuke those too. Leave the $hf_mig$ dir though.
eh, not gonna bother, still got 27 gig of a 40 gig disk free
00:55
Well, later gents/ladies. Thank you for your hospitality here. I should like to visit with you again.
The disk I just installed to is 55 GiB. 30 OS, 25 FAT32 for backups
Freeing up 1 GiB helped
01:29
manlab is hillarious

One more reason to hate the Secure Download Manager.
It assigned itself as the default editor for .c files. What the fuck.

@JourneymanGeek 3 days ? omg !
Bob
Bob
05:07
@JourneymanGeek Uhm.
You should have stopped it two days ago.
And taken a disk image.
@Bob: I can't boot the system till its done
I'll let it finish, do a backup and reformat
05:31
its the second time its happened
Bob
Bob
06:06
@JourneymanGeek You shouldn't be. This is where a Live CD + ddrescue should be used...
Ah, whatever :P
Good luck.
lol
I'm gonna let it finish then do a file level backup
then reformat and see if it happens again
I don't have enough space for a full image

@JourneymanGeek o.O

pxenet.blogspot.co.at
what about it?
language dude
Pat
Pat
yes u right...
the point is that you guys banned me and that with that blog making fun of your censorship I'm really getting attention...
I do believe shift-enter should let you newline without a new line
You were banned cause you were breaking rules, despite getting warned about it
Pat
Pat
09:03
what you say is lame, Enter means new lien, posting is click the posting button..
it works that way on mobile mode
Pat
Pat
you know now in my blog I set the rules and the rule there is to show how moderators here work...
jurneyman if you were working for me as a programmer I would enjoy firing you ...
neat. cause I'm not a programmer
Pat
Pat
that's why you say such a lame things...
eh, all I did was try to talk you through fixing things so you could avoid a ban
which you did anyway
Pat
Pat
09:06
you did what??? you were a good one? sorry I do not remember...
is your name one of the ione that now are portrayed as AH in my blog???
Pat
Pat
?
I suggested you post other answers as well
and try to broaden your horizons with respect to the site
which of course, didn't happen
Is he banned? There's no banner at the top of his account.
Pat
Pat
well I'm sad things turned down this way... now I'm planning other web sites about this and associated sites... it's going to be fun...
09:08
Or is it the low-quality questions filter?
You're a real person. I figure I can reason with you, and by behaving like a grown up, we can all fix things
@tombull89: he posted a bunch of answers promoting a bit of software he wrote, and nothing else. People called him out on it, he got somewhat annoyed
Pat
Pat
well probably now is a bit late for fixing things... don't u think?
eh. It works both ways, really
What did you do, to prevent this?
Ah, was this the SMS sender thing? Yes, that was quite excessive.
Pat
Pat
I never spammed, my answers mentioned one of my applications ONLY when required... that's it..
09:10
naw
Pat
Pat
disclosing afiliation?? no way in a site where all my answers are heavily edited...
@Pat: but you only posted those answers, and often in a similar way
to the point where I THOUGHT you were a spambot
People do this!
It works out, when you post other answers
That's the thing though, if you're posting answers just to mention your product, that will get you banned.
Pat
Pat
Only when requiered.. I never mention the app when the app was not needed.. that's not spamm...
we only edit to fix up things like links and spelling
Ok, what we have here is a difference in terminology.
09:11
From the FaQ: If you are not comfortable with the idea of your contributions being collaboratively edited by other trusted users, this may not be the site for you.
Basically a large proportion of the answers you posted were very similar answers about your software
Pat
Pat
naaaahhh you guys edit Whatever... about being a bot, well bots do not start blogs...
eh. Not my fault you seemingly failed the turning test.
Wait it's ServerFault you're banned from, not SuperUser
Pat
Pat
one of my applications is a PXE server, you guys do not have much experince with PXE thhen I have answer all the not well answered questions on PXE
that does not imply I'm a bot...
09:13
Wow. March 30th 2014.
Pat
Pat
Wow WHAT?
Your ban. On ServerFault. Is til 2014.
Pat
Pat
I been banned everywhere.... by
@tombull89: yeah
If you were banned everywhere you wouldn't be here either
Pat
Pat
by a bunch of keyboard warriors here...
09:14
eh
Gee, thanks. I think everything I said went over your head completely
Pat
Pat
that's cause your system is really a funny one...
It works pretty well for a lot of people.
Pat
Pat
dont give me that... so lame...
This is the "suspended" account banner. This appears on your ServerFault page, not on any other site.
Pat
Pat
well see my points and all systematic downvoting started by you guys...
09:16
If you're really confident that you're not a spammer, take it to mso.
@Pat: here's the thing. I see you're unhappy with the system here. No one's keeping you here
eh, you asked about that on MSO, didn't you?
there's no systematic downvoting. Stuff like this, I just VTC or flag.
Pat
Pat
of cousrse that's why started the first of my blogs...
I think you're just bitter that we arn't taking what you says at face value, since the system dosen't work for you
:9545864 I take offense to your statement that "this fucking site does not let to use the enter". It should be "this fucking site does not let me use the Enter key".
@RegDwighт: XD. Yay ELU! ;p
09:18
Yay, dog who looks cuter than Cerberus!
Bob
Bob
@Pat ...What has this got to do with me?
@Pat That is how it works in the vast majority of chatting applications. It's simply easier to send the message without reaching for the mouse.
@tombull89 Makes it even better. Why was I pinged about this?
I only created a ServerFault account, what, yesterday?
@Bob Dunno. I'm surpised he's still around, to be honest.
Bob
Bob
09:35
@tombull89 Eh. I don't get that either.
@Pat, just a thought, on your blogspot site you'll need to put something along the lines for "content licensed from StackExchange under CC-Wiki" or you'll end up hearing from StackExchange. You link back to the answers and questions though, so that's the only thing you'll need to do.
Bob
Bob
Rather large ego to go in, ignore the rules, ignore (or attack) those who try to point out the rules, complain about the subsequent ban, and continue ignoring everything others say.
@tombull89 Hm. Has SE ever chased anyone down for copyright violation?
Apparently if I don't reconnect my microphone after waking up the computer from sleep, the recorded audio will be garbage
I learned that after a 1hr recording session O__O
Bob
Bob
o.O
At first I thought it was the Expression Screen Recorder that was the problem. So I restarted that, and did the recording again. I was not happy when I found that the audio was garbled again :P
Why I didn't test before doing it again....
Bob
Bob
09:39
What kind of garbage?
Horribly distorted?
White noise?
Bob
Bob
@OliverSalzburg ...I assume you meant the former :P
Distortion, but not the noise kind
Bob
Bob
that's even better! /s
As if the recorded samples were put together in the wrong order

Q: Report sites that use SE content without following attribution rules here

Popular DemandThere are a number of license-violating clones of Stack Exchange sites popping up that use SE's cc-wiki data without following our Creative Commons attribution terms. Those terms are linked at the bottom of every SE webpage, and are also included as a .txt file in every data dump we produce. The...

And a lot of silence as well
tl;dr yes
Bob
Bob
@tombull89 I want to see one that copies meta... including that question :P
Pat
Pat
you see this is what you guys do; someone not able to cope with me here just banned me for 30 minutes... that's the way you guys play...
@Pat What are you trying to achieve by coming here to complain?
It seems like you're not particularly fond of this community and it seems like the community isn't particularly fond of your contributions (thus, the bans).
Pat
Pat
09:50
where you the one that just banned me?
so what exactly do you want us to do? We've got no power to unsuspend and we're likely a fraction of the people responsible for your issue. I guess you brought it up on meta.stackoverflow, got downvoted, and deleted it. Maybe, just maybe, the issue isn't StackExchage and the community?
No, it takes 6 people to mark a flag as "valid".
Pat
Pat
what do I want you guys to do?? enjoy my blogs!!
@Pat What's the URL?
Pat
Pat
09:51
you'll find it...
then there were 6 people that decided to bann me, good... that's why I'm not going to stop against you guys and these sites...
Okay, found the URL in one of your deleted posts. Nice article
Not going to stop what?
Pat
Pat
you ban me here I talk in my blogs... and people listen... and at the end is going to be bad business for you guys... at the end is always business
I really don't see why you can't put more of that content on SuperUser directly. You can still link to your blog as the source of information. And maybe add a line saying "btw, I'm the author of that blog post". What would be so bad about that?
Pat
Pat
@Oliver I think you didn't find anything...
Pat
Pat
that's not my blog... I will never disclose affiliation on a site that twist my answers upon its convenience....
@Pat Okay, that's fine. Nobody is forcing you to take part in this community
Pat
Pat
Oliver not offense but you are way behind all this story...
But this community has rules. And one of those rules is that your posts don't belong to you once you posted them here
@Pat None taken :)
@Pat That's not your site? Then when, why do I do a who.is on the domain it comes up with a contant with first name Patrick?
Pat
Pat
09:56
community? you moderators??? the ones that just banned me for posting here, you call that community??
@tombull89: its totally his site and his app. That's the whole issue here
Bob
Bob
@OliverSalzburg Just to make things clear, the original content still belongs to you.
@Pat Yes, we do. Usually people aren't banned here
OH OH
THATS why he went quiet
geeze.
Pat
Pat
@tombull89 brain was optionally in your case? I have said that thhat is not MY BLOG
09:58
@Pat: eh, its quite obviously your blog
@Pat bollocks is it.
no one else would give a crap that JUST your questions got banned deleted
"it's not mine" is the oldest trick in the book. I work in a school and that's a kids excuse.
Bob
Bob
@Pat I think we said this above; your current suspension is on ServerFault.
If you are question/answer banned, that is automatic.
It's a cold, heartless machine that does that.
I can't tell if you're a troll or deluded, but you're banned on ServerFault for what the community sees as spamming.
Now I've got something productive to do, and if you're still whining when I come back I'll use another of chat's features: mute/ignore.
Bob
Bob
10:04
o.O
most random downvote on MSO
bleh
mso is just odd
Bob
Bob
@JourneymanGeek that was an answer. with a script as a workaround. unless the script was wrong (and it works here), I honestly don't see any reason for a downvote :S
I mean, sure, if I were expressing an opinion or something.
lol
MSO is just odd! ;p
I was about to ALSO say that its a site where there's actual rep, but we vote like we do on meta sites
and god, the bounty system makes no sense there
Bob
Bob
:P
people bounty features they want
I mean, how does that even work? ;p
10:15
The new PSU arrived \o/
yay
were you having trouble with the old one?
@JourneymanGeek Not enough power :(
or does this have to do with the changes you're making to get moar speed?
ahh
Computer shut off when reaching a certain load on the GFX card
And the new PSU has cable management. Double-Yay :D
Yes, nothing like having PSU that has two feeds for the graphics card, and 1x SATA cable with 3 headers on.
No MOLEX SPAM.
10:18
And when I install it, that will give me the chance to re-install my cooler. Apparently, I installed it 180° rotated and that's why it collided with the new RAM.
Bob
Bob
@tombull89 Two 4-pin molex peripheral to 2x SATA power here :P
Those things are a bitch to disconnect.
@OliverSalzburg: modular connector?
Bob
Bob
And my graphics card is specifically going against instructions and drawing both its aux power from the same cable...
hm
@tombull89: I have a seasonic M12, which is pretty much that
Bob
Bob
waiting for the day my PSU dies spectacularly
10:20
but I only need one video connector so the second is a bitch
@Bob: eheh....
HOW spectacularly?
I have a Novatech PSU, which is a rebadged Corsair.
Bob
Bob
@JourneymanGeek HOPEFULLY without taking anything with it
PSUs almost never do
Bob
Bob
with the cheap crap I'm using, you never know :P
my funkiest PSU is a 450v topower...
with push pull fans
@Bob: I used to be a VERY firm believer in 20 dollar PSUs ;p
never lost a system due to them, ever
10:22
@JourneymanGeek Well, you can attach/detach every single cable individually from the core PSU
Bob
Bob
@JourneymanGeek currently using a 650W... widetech? :S
wierdest cooling design I have EVER seen
hm
case for that seems to be rusting out
Bob
Bob
@JourneymanGeek what's weird about it?
@Bob: two fans
Bob
Bob
..
mine has a giant 120mm fan on the bottom
10:24
the good ones have a 120mm
the shit ones have a 80-90mm
Bob
Bob
@JourneymanGeek still a cheap piece of crap :P
this has a PAIR of 80-90mm fans
its RUSTING
Bob
Bob
hm.. so, somewhat good? :P
@JourneymanGeek or not XD
10:25
I have NEVER SEEN any computer parts rust
@Bob: it has pretensions above its station
Everytime that guy comes, everyone runs off the server :D
he is soo good D:
@OliverSalzburg: ... must be a chemical plant
10:27
@OliverSalzburg that's impossible ...
I live near the sea, EVERYTHING rusts
@JourneymanGeek I actually wanted to find one where they had a chlorine gas plant or something. The whole computer was rusty
computer stuff usually is pretty well protected, even the cheap crap
Bob
Bob
@OliverSalzburg there was that one full of ants
Bob
Bob
an ant nest inside
Chemicals definitely
@Bob Ants got in my HDD once
OOH
and more
the parts in contact with other parts rusted faster
thats PRETTY damned cool
"Dead motherboard. There is an LED on the motherboard that lights up when it has power. Changed the power supply but had no effect. Also the power button rusted into a solid object. "
Win
Bob
Bob
@HackToHell what?
did you manage to salvage it?
10:33
ahh the tropics
I doubt
Oh it worked, I think none got in .... they were behind the circuit board only, there was a lot of white stuff in there :D
had to carefully clean it
Bob
Bob
see that long list of certifications that are probably fake? :P
Bob
Bob
@HackToHell Didn't you hear? Google is the new Microsoft.
@Bob Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
I guess in that case, it's a bad thing :D
I guess it's like Mr Page said in the IO keynote. They're trying to be open, but they're also trying to be practical. He said it in regards to building a mobile OS (like an Android replacement) on web technology (like Chrome OS).
But I thought he had a point in general
