im building a small setup to display the command prompt of my server with usefull information, but if you "fullscreen" the command prompt, it has this maximum width, yet unlimited length, anyone have an idea of its even possible to change this? google is leaving me hanging this morning
@Adnan: Take the tube, get out at Tower-Bridge station, and walk uphaill (away from bridge) towards a Y like traffic split, there is a lovely chineese there that sells Ramen/Noodles, its deliscious
I've been pretty satisfied with Arch. They're intentionally hard on newcomers, making you manually install everything by hand from the command line. But once you've got it working it's exactly what you asked for and literally nothing else.
It reminds me a lot of the kit planes. Building your own airplane is really difficult and a little dangerous. But once you're done you know exactly how everything works.
Still, after installing Arch 2 or 3 times, I wrote a script to do the whole process for me. Thing about programmers is they don't doing the same thing twice.
@kalina Game support is pretty crappy. But for work it's ideal. Particularly because I deal heavily in very dangerous situations from an infosec perspective
Theoretically I can dual-boot into Windows. I mean, It's there. I installed it. I'm pretty sure it's still there.
the problem is more about the userbase than Linux itself, in that the userbase is generally insufferable and will try to force Linux upon you using some crappy hobby project as a solution for why you don't want to use Linux, or using the line "well you can virtualise Windows", or mentioning WINE
I don't care that people think <whatever> is better because it's Open Source
When buying a laptop 3 years ago, I bought 3 windows ones and a macbook air. I used them all for several weeks and kept the one that was the highest quality. The construction on those macs really is above normal.
I don't really like OSX, but the hardware is really well built.
i need to work on a iMax with OSX, i never used one before, but now after 3 months of using it, i developed a hate against it, purely because it doesnt do what i want it to do
and i didnt even start on the abomination they call a trackpad
@TerryChia arch isn't much effort for maintenance. Sure, there's new updates approximately 8 times a day (no, not exaggerating), but the initial setup really is the sticking point. You have to know what you're doing. You have to really know what you're doing.
@TerryChia I've got specific ideas about what I like (LVM, btrfs, full-disk-encryption, etc.) I always have to compromise w/ anaconda or casper. With arch, partition, format, mount everything where you want it, and then run the bootstrap script and it figures out what you did. Pretty nifty.
i7 4 cores (8 hyperthreading) @ 3.10GHz, custom GeForce GTX 465 asus vidcard 4gb GDDR5 VRAM (gift when i visited the Asus HQ), 10gb DDR3 RAM, Asus mainboard, Windows 8.1 Pro DreamSpark/MSDN Dev versionthingie, and a SSD :3
@Adnan well, more the AppSecEU more than the cambridge part.
@TerryChia I dont have one, but according to anandtech the performance is better, but not sustained. So not really a regression, its just more aggressive in ramping it down instead of letting it stay ramped up for a long time.
@Lighty It's very easy to build a circuit which only needs 9v but can deliver upwards of 1 million volts! I used to make them and attach to door handles when I was a kid :-)
@TerryChia yeah, old news. It got even worse for a while, but then most of the non-political types started piping up with :"My opinion on this shitstorm? Let's get some work done".
and, in the rare situation the ones we do want does wind up in the role, he discovers that he cant get anything really done unless he plays the same way as the ones we don't want.
I think there was a Robert Ludlum book based on that once...
the alternative is to just nuke it from orbit, and start over.
I've been asked to implement digital signatures for documents at work. I really need to read up more on the matter but several searches didn't make an obvious approach stand out.
