@FlackBot: Tell FlackBot define flack]

@Amithkk To be honest... I really don't have the capability of understanding that statement yet.

@Amithkk I should probably try a little harder next time to figure out what that means...

@FlackBot: Define flack

Amith kk

Q: How to run a shell script when a new USB storage device is detected?

I want a script that dumps the log and starts logging on it as soon as a usb mass storage is plugged (with the file 'OKdump' on it).And if anything abnormal(Like a error that is visually present) is detected i want it to take a screenshot and save it on the same drive.

Q: How to increase space in /home, by adding an extra hdd?

My current system is laid out across two drives: 40GB for / and /swap (dev/sdb) 1TB for /home (dev/sdc) As my /home drive is running out of space, and storage is cheap, I've bought a 2TB drive with the intent of expanding /home across that drive too (so /home is spread over two drives/3TB). ...

11.04 home home-directory

Alvar

@StefanoPalazzo no :( the end of the song came. now it's a new song. HARDSTILE FTW (very good for studying)

Stefano Palazzo

Alvar

12:34 PM

@StefanoPalazzo it was like half a song :D

I've got this radiohead album, I just noticed it's 3400 kbps

Alvar

@StefanoPalazzo that's just a big lol

grooveshark.com/#/playlist/Daft+Punk+Remix/56428352

it's the derezzed remix...

Stefano Palazzo

that's some data :P

it's a good song as well, unbelievably, since it's not hardstyle ;-)

:P

@Alvar Hey I know that one

rocks out

Alvar

@StefanoPalazzo yeah

@StefanoPalazzo I might be able to beat that...

Stefano Palazzo

I listen to lots of classical music and jazz. But when I have some electronica, it's usually dubstep

hope that's not too weird :P

Alvar

the highest I can find tight now in .flac is 720kbps

Stefano Palazzo

12:42 PM

yeah that's CD quality (~600-950)

i.e. 44,100 kHz

Alvar

@StefanoPalazzo well I listen to death metal, daft punk, hardstile, curtis mayfield and some simialr...

@StefanoPalazzo my headphones cant go higher up than 29k hz...

brb apparently I need to eat.

Stefano Palazzo

@Alvar heh, 44.1 is the sample rate. so it's 44100 samples per second, each of which is a 16 bit number (that is from 0 to 65535 - the volume of the current sample)
