Fucking dell battery. One minute ago "18 minutes remaining". Now: "PLUG IN NAO OR I'LL SUSPEND"

ewwhite

Well, the dog stepped on the power strip on/off switch under my desk...

I think that was a sign to stop working.

Tanner

I can't log in to the console session using remote desktop. :| It's pissing me off. Should I post a question on SU or SF?

Michael Hampton

@Tanner First check with us to make sure you haven't done something embarrassingly silly. (Of course, if you have, you'll still be embarrassed, just not quite as badly...)

Dennis Kaarsemaker

Plus we get to mock you. Win-win

mossy

@Tanner I asked a question here once.. I wouldn't suggest you do the same.

Dennis Kaarsemaker

23:10

@mossy oh c'mon, it only bled a little

You didn't lose any bodyparts that mattered

mossy

Im kidding

ewwhite

@pauska still using Flux... do you like it fast or do you prefer the slower approach?

mossy

I would ask here first in all situations. Or TomTom will find you.

With that said, I'm going to make dinner.

Be back in a bit.

Tanner

@mossy Meh, I've asked 5 :P I think mostly though I got pity upvotes for things like "halp! my NT server crashed!"

mossy

@ewwhite I prefer Gunnars.

gunnars.com

Tanner

23:14

Glad the NT box is gone... now if I could just get rid of that 2000 one.

mossy

(not really)

ewwhite

@mossy A lot of my traders used those...

sitting in front of 6 x 30" screens.

mossy

Really!?

Hmm

Dennis Kaarsemaker

@ewwhite produce or HFT?

ewwhite

@DennisKaarsemaker HFT.

mossy

23:16

I want the COD frames.

Or these - shop.gunnars.com/steelseries-desmo/d/1011_c_200

They actually have some really nice looking frames.

I appear to have earned another Guru badge

Q: Linux 2.4 GNOME distro

I am looking for it. Can't seem to find anything. Please provide links to iso files also. Thanks

linux

Dennis Kaarsemaker

@voretaq7 s/earned/cheated/

allquixotic

only in the comments do we find that this guy wants a distro with the Linux 2.4 kernel (and GNOME?!) to install MPLS Linux...

hopefully the correlation between ancient Linux, MPLS, and GNOME makes someone's head hurt. I had to spread the pain.

voretaq7

@DennisKaarsemaker what's the difference! Badges Badges Badges!

Dennis Kaarsemaker

23:26

@allquixotic I know there are troll^Wtest items in the review queues. Maybe SE is now doing test bullshit questions as well to test the mods?

@voretaq7 Mushrooms! Mushrooms!

allquixotic

@voretaq7 badges badges badges badges badges badges badges badges badges badges badges... muh-moderator!

and instead of "SNAAAAAKE!" ... hmm.. "BAAAAN!"

voretaq7

@allquixotic now you're getting the idea

Dennis Kaarsemaker

So, my current entries on the star wall are VB, bed breaking and mushrooms. Here's to future employers never googling me!

@allquixotic troll, troll ooooooooooooooooh it's a troll!

allquixotic

@DennisKaarsemaker :D

Zoredache

@allquixotic Is there some other program/thing that is also named MPLS? I can't possibly imagine why someone would want a gui on a linux box doing Multiprotocol Label Switching

allquixotic

23:29

I never could quite grasp the epistemological implications of badgers that are only capable of moving their arms and legs into one of two positions, being preoccupied with mushrooms and horrified of snakes.

voretaq7

@DennisKaarsemaker Evan?

allquixotic

@Zoredache or why they'd want to deploy Linux 2.4 in 2013

Dennis Kaarsemaker

@voretaq7 I've heard that name, but haven't been on SF long enough to enjoy his company

@Zoredache Horrible misspelling of mepis?

allquixotic

@Zoredache no, they're definitely talking about Multiprotocol Label Switching.

A: Linux 2.4 GNOME distro

Stop trying to use ancient software right now. MPLS-Linux is a current (3.x) Linux kernel with MPLS support.

voretaq7

@DennisKaarsemaker Meep Meeps?

allquixotic

23:31

"Stop trying to use ancient software right now." I think I should adopt that as my slogan

Dennis Kaarsemaker

@voretaq7 mepis.org - another debian clone

Michael Hampton

@allquixotic Amazing what 30 seconds with Google can accomplish.

voretaq7

@DennisKaarsemaker mmhmm, It's now Meep Meeps Linux to me.

Dennis Kaarsemaker

re: ancient software

voretaq7

They must change their logo to a roadrunner immediately or face... repercussions

Michael Hampton

23:33

@allquixotic I would have explained it differently on SF. But it's SU...

allquixotic

@MichaelHampton differently as in, more harshly?

Dennis Kaarsemaker

@voretaq7 the wile e. coyote version would be running gnome instead of KDE :)

Michael Hampton

@allquixotic No, I would have said you have to wait until the archaeology team leaves the server room.

Zoredache

someone suggested a full-mesh equivalent to OpenVPN a while back here. Can you remind me, if you are on?

Dennis Kaarsemaker

@Zoredache ipsec tunnels between all sites?

I have that between my dsl router, my parents and a couple of vps'es and colo boxes.

Zoredache

23:45

I think it was tinc that the person was talking about... tinc-vpn.org maybe. It wasn't IPSEC.

Tanner

Somehow I get connected to the "Services" session using mstsc /admin?

Okay at this point I'd rather just ask a stupid question on the site than continue fighting with this :P

MDMarra

@Tanner that can happen?

Michael Hampton

Oh, if I finish the day with 187 rep, I'm going to kill someone.

MDMarra

I haven't repcapped in a week

I've been too busy finally being appreciated at my job now that I'm leaving next week

Tanner

haha

MDMarra

23:51

I've done more architecture design in the last 4 days than the last 9 months

Dennis Kaarsemaker

@MichaelHampton ok, I'll downvote a bunch of your answers.

Michael Hampton

@DennisKaarsemaker You're soooo helpful.

Dennis Kaarsemaker

I aim to please :)

Michael Hampton

Three minutes until my homicidal rampage!

Matt Bear

23:59

@MichaelHampton use a peice of wood

2x4 spree!
