4:00 AM
@hbdgaf yep. that helps
Now I understand that I don't understand.
 
since /sbin/init is a binary, it isn't going to be different (in general) from system to system right?
 
depends the version of init :P
 
well duh
 
Anyone ever watch MunchGamer on Youtube?
 
and patches from downstream
 
4:01 AM
Aand...I just totally interuppted.
Please ignore that.
 
Well could someone make an md5 sum of their /sbin/init for me?
chkrootkit is saying mine is infected, but I'm not so sure.
 
md5sum /sbin/init
ee1273b685ac2dd41232b0bb9afa6de3 /sbin/init
that's debians...
 
@Lucio ?? functionality != use case. functionality is a something it does. so a feature as granular as you can make it and keep it independent is an app. this way the most people possible can use your snap-in. then if you build something cool that uses loads of apps, it's still simple to pip install the whole load of them... so no matter what you're winning.
 
:P
 
@Seth Would, but I am using my Mac, sadly :(
 
4:02 AM
@RPiAwesomeness Man, that is sad ;P
I personally find Macs annoying... could just be me.
 
@Seth I know. Sister's rabbit chewed through my other power cord so the battery is dead.
Wish I had gone with expedited shipping
 
@RPiAwesomeness O_O
 
Dangit Amazon! Hurry up!
 
@hbdgaf but what if apps share models?
 
@Seth PRECISELY!
Sadly, the rabbit didn't get fried
 
4:04 AM
@Lucio that's fine. you can do that.
 
Almost wish it had...
 
what annoys me of Apple is the whole "your mac isn't yours but ours" thingy
 
Then I would need to write the same model two times.
@hbdgaf ok
 
And lucio just keeps talking about coding.
 
@RPiAwesomeness It would have taken a big bite to do that..
 
4:04 AM
@RPiAwesomeness :D
 
@RPiAwesomeness I know! And here you are forced to use a MAC of all things D:
;P
 
@Seth I think it got knibbled on and then slowly as I used it tore more and more. I noticed the charging starting to fail for a while...dang rabbit
 
@Seth Ubuntu:
md5sum sbin/init
492929ab56a74117f682a6002cbd74fa sbin/init
 
@ThomasW. nope :)
tired :)
 
4:05 AM
not really.

take the oath and social thing as an example:
you have to use oauth to get social media integration right? so ask the oauth app to authenticate for you. then the only thing in your social media app is the post a like, tweet, etc button set.

i wasn't telling you to replicate models.
 
@RolandiXor damn you and your tiredness, then.
slaps @RolandiXor until he wakes up
 
@ThomasW. I knew that guy was the spammer
 
sleeps
 
@RolandiXor zaps with electricity
@RPi calm down dude.
 
4:06 AM
@RPiAwesomeness the engineers have to ban in the backend, mods aren't gods anymore
also, don't outburst again, I don't want to flag you
 
Oh.
Sorry
 
@RolandiXor can you look at this users back histoyry
 
ZABIVAT' VREMYA!
 
I think it'll be interesting..
@KitSox Heya, just in time for some tasty spam.
 
AH!!!!! BOT HATH ARRIVED! RUN!
 
4:07 AM
@Braiam What version of init do you have? init --version?
 
@Seth wth I just destroyed him!
 
@RolandiXor That spammer?
 
@RolandiXor good.
 
okey, next retag party: blacklist...
 
4:08 AM
wait, why is he still there @RolandiXor ?
 
Whoa. Lots of spam lately it seems....
 
Because he had two accounts
 
@Seth He's goine
 
I am honestly, literally, tired.
 
@RPiAwesomeness We've had an interesting 2 hours of it..
 
4:08 AM
At least one of them
 
@Braiam there are legitimate use cases for blacklist - modprobe blacklist would be the case in point.
 
@hbdgaf Use kernel and modprobe, no need for "blacklist" too.
 
@hbdgaf yeah, the problem is that there are several legitimate use cases for the tag ;)
 
@Seth Noy to mention at least a good month of occasional Love/Marriage/Baba Ji thingy
*not
 
@RPiAwesomeness you know you can edit your chat right?
 
4:09 AM
@Braiam Yeah. Habit I guess
 
@Seth fair point. i think blacklist or some iteration of modprobe-blacklist could give specificity to say "i want to block peripheral xyz" in a hyper-specific tag.
 
tags aren't for hyper specific though..
 
Heh. MC people look so funny when crouched...
 
@Braiam that's really fair, and i think i addressed it.
 
@Braiam Well they're the same.. so I feel okay.
 
4:10 AM
@hbdgaf What?
 
chat-lag and moving before the callback fired or something
 
Ah. Mistaken ping. No problema
 
@Seth people wanted and got model tags for specific mac models or dell models at one point right?
 
@hbdgaf a more explicit example would be Post & Message, both ares different but share the User model.
 
@hbdgaf I get that when my upstream sucks
 
4:12 AM
my up and down are both pretty killer... promise
@Lucio different apps can share the same database and use foreign keys.
 
@hbdgaf they have them, though they shouldn't. Be even talked about merging the mac tags, but no one had enough rep in those tags.
 
@hbdgaf ahhhhhh
 
relevant to one of the ongoing discussions: meta.askubuntu.com/q/7733/169736
 
@Seth i made that point and got shut down. i think the blacklist make it more specific subtype is more valid than a model tag.
 
4:15 AM
@Seth oh fk... they went and did it...
that's freaky
 
in a way
Could someone explain this to me?
xinit /usr/bin/xterm -- :1
what does it do?
 
@Seth enter and tell me
 
OT: corned beef and cabbage came out pretty well. i have enough left over for lots of reubens, vegetable/veggie and beef stew, and corned beef and cabbage proper. cooking in bulk ftw.
 
@hbdgaf Dude. Uber jealous right now. Love corned beef.
@Seth Yeah, that helpouts is cool...wonder if I'll ever use it...
 
@RPiAwesomeness 3 hours of my life gone. 12 meals or so made.
 
4:18 AM
@hbdgaf Dude. Still jealous
 
If only I understand German..
@hbdgaf thanks for the examples. Helped a lot. Now is a matter of put hands at work :)
 
@Lucio who SpeakenSie Deutsch? and np. it's one of those things. i know what he meant, and i respect the crap out of the approach, it's just a little harder to set up out of the gate.
 
@Lucio It did what I thought it would, shut down the X server and run xterm. It just forgot to give me focus on that xterm window.. So I was stuck lol.
 
xD

Q: Are we gonna become MODS when the community dies?

Marco de BorgataThe risk is getting higher and higher you know. sdhfvberymncvbehudswqsdhgw7q6f5XRTXCRTdc54drtfsdhfvberymncvbehudswqsdhgw7q6f5XRTXCRTdc54drtfsdhfvberymncvbehudswqsdhgw7q6f5XRTXCRTdc54drtfsdhfvberymncvbehudswqsdhgw7q6f5XRTXCRTdc54drtfsdhfvberymncvbehudswqsdhgw7q6f5XRTXCRTdc54drtfsdhfvberymncvbehud...

@RolandiXor --^
Can you figure out if they have the same IP address Roland? Then we can tell if a IP ban would help.
 
@Seth TOR
 
@RolandiXor Are they using it?
 
@Seth yes
 
don't worry and keep flagging
 
i half expect the next question to be an eat the rich propaganda thingamabob... since there's a mod=god community dies parallel in there...
 
4:23 AM
Dec 19 '13 at 0:57, by Lucio
@hbdgaf Sometimes I can't understand a single word of what you say.
Guys I'm out
 
@Lucio sorry. i connect loose dots. i can't make that one any clearer.
 
don't worry, you don't need to do so :)
My clock has passed from 01:23 so... I don't know, wanted to use that as an excuse :P
 
@Lucio weak
 
He's not giving up.
 
@RolandiXor We can't let this go on..
I think we should get the devs to turn required registration on. That outta slow them down.
 
4:26 AM
@Seth there is nothing we can do short of hiring an assassin if you get what I mean
 
if not stop them.
 
I'm still thinking through this one...
One sec...
 
hehe
 
Hmmm...another one of the no WiFi after upgrade issues: askubuntu.com/questions/400186/…
 
@NathanOsman he will. it's just a "he's not a spartan. if the community is big enough, one retard can't possibly win" thing.
 
4:27 AM
Seems to be very prevalent.
 
^--- List of users that recently joined.
 
@NathanOsman might be helpful.
@RolandiXor Gotta do something. Required registration would stop a script, if he's using one.
 
so you're saying point value for prejudice on flags against new user questions/answers/edits? that could work.
 
I doubt it. I couldn't even get a script auto-posting stuff to SE last I tried.
 
4:29 AM
good luck
 
@NathanOsman I dunno.. it's not hard.
 
vhjcd
 
Holy Guackamole! My Mac's fan is LOUD!

Q: It's way too easy to spam the site. How can we make it harder without sacrificing usability to new (legit) users?

SethAfter the last (not so big thanks to Shog(\o/)) blast of spam a couple users and I (with a mod) decided to run some tests. We found that it's extremely easy to post a spam question. Ridiculously easy. One thing we noticed about these spam users is that most of them are unregistered. ...

 
@NathanOsman you ain't as smart as spammers ;)
 
4:29 AM
@NathanOsman you didn't have a ton of email addresses or a captcha solving service in your pocket. either one could have put you over the threshold i think.
 
i'ld be interested to know if the email addresses used to bulk register are from one domain, and if they are if that's a private domain - so the spammer can just create infinite accounts - or if they have a gmail creation bot/service.
 
Best thing to do: ignore him.
(And flag of course.)
 
i said that before...
 
that's what we've been doing..
 
4:32 AM
then why are we talking about it still...
 
@NathanOsman Good point...No comment, no answer. Flag/Downvote. Do we lose rep for down-voting?
 
flags auto-downvote as community.
 
No need to downvote.
 
@hbdgaf oh you mean here? guess we could do that.
 
Ah. No more down-voting for me
 
4:37 AM
 
@NathanOsman not any more...
30 rounds left. it's an ammo conservation game at this point ;)
 
@hbdgaf i have a bunch of ammo left :P
/me went and spent some time on IRC :P
 
Me too :P
 
Sorry guys, but I have to go do other things now. See ya later.
 
79 sniper flag-rounds available
2
 
4:39 AM
Later on @Seth
 
but only enough energy to fire 20 :/
/me is tired
 
@ThomasW. you know what i meant.
 
@hbdgaf I know. But still :P
 
lol, I still have more than half full ammo
 
@Braiam how many flag-rounds?
 
4:41 AM
more than half of the maximum ;)
 
so... > 50, < 75 ?
 
I'm going offline shortly.
 
btw, you might be interested askubuntu.com/questions/402598/…
 
@RolandiXor crap then we'll be on our own
 
good.
:D
 
4:43 AM
i'm more a scout than a sniper. i'm looking for a melee boink unlimited ammo weapon than a number of rounds for the sniper rifle ;) since it's a game of whackamole and all.
 
no but on a serious note... I'm feeling my human limitations creeping up on me.
 
@RolandiXor votes to remove your diamond powers
@RolandiXor well, good night.
 
@ThomasW. good night!
 
@RolandiXor LIES IT IS NOT A GOOD NIGHT AND NEVER WILL BE A GOOD NIGHT
YOU HAVE FAILED, GOOD SIR! YOU HAVE FAILED!
 
I leave you in the capable hands of @Braiam, your mod for the night.
 
4:43 AM
@RolandiXor have a better one. i'm sure you'll have lots to do tomorrow.
 
(random pick)
 
@RolandiXor NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
 
ping him for everything (don't)
 
@RolandiXor we'll just ping you in your absence :P
force you to wake up every 5 minutes
 
just ping each other a lot, and make sure you have desktop notifications turned on :)
 
4:44 AM
@Braiam - So, I found this spam post ;)
 
my computer is muted and will be asleep :)
 
@RolandiXor @ThomasW. Do you wish me a good evening, or mean that it is a good evening whether I want it or not; or that you feel good this evening; or that it is a evening to be good on?
 
I changed my mind.
Let's just make the guy a mod after all and go to bed.
 
@NathanOsman About what?
 
@RPiAwesomeness none of those.
 
4:46 AM
Yes. Let us do that.
 
Good Grief...
 
Give him his own site and make him mod of that.
 
Ask Ubunut.
 
@NathanOsman No no no
 
yes!
 
4:47 AM
Akls Bunto
 
Okay seriously, out!
cya
 
^ THAT ONE
 
Be gone! (The spammer, that is.)
 
(That means goodnight :))
 
4:47 AM
Give him askubunto
 
Too bad Seth left
Akls Bunto man....
 
We can make him a mod of Ask Ubunut too.
 
Yeah, but he'ld have to field more spam posts on askubunto
 
I just. Ask Obunto is also viable
 
@NathanOsman lets make him mod on a closed site that way he can say he had diamondmod but lost it when a site closed down.
 
4:49 AM
I was going for do unto others.
 
@hbdgaf Hmmm. Good point...
:)
 
anyone, no reproducible? askubuntu.com/q/402598/169736
or more like, OP just don't care :(
 
Oh gosh. New user...

Q: We aren't going to stop if u don't make us mods, remember

GeniJust make us mods. We will be good mods after all. Else it would spell a bad end for this community. derfnyjcbuyVYTRCXRExz6456f7derfnyjcbuyVYTRCXRExz6456f7derfnyjcbuyVYTRCXRExz6456f7derfnyjcbuyVYTRCXRExz6456f7derfnyjcbuyVYTRCXRExz6456f7derfnyjcbuyVYTRCXRExz6456f7derfnyjcbuyVYTRCXRExz6456f7derfny...

 
@RPiAwesomeness just post the link along, no need to oneboxing ;)
 
4:51 AM
I'm noticing something.
 
@RPiAwesomeness you'll stop. everything burns.
 
@Braiam Sorry, didn't mean to Onebox i
 
That account is nearly twenty minutes old.
 
So he's waiting a bit to post after creating the account.
No idea if that means anything...
 
4:52 AM
Wonder why...
 
it's the tor thing.
 
@NathanOsman He's also trying to propose edits
 
-5
A: Problem with starting GUI mode in Ubuntu Server

GeniMake us Mods!!!!! //* the Indian Team *//

 
actually, he posted immediately creating the account
 
I invalid'd it with a custom edit
 
4:53 AM
if i were writing it, i would do registration and wait on each step. do question editing, and wait on each step. etc etc. so it's slow to automate over tor if you want consistent success if you think about it
 
we also have the "black magic specialist" spam too
 
Wait - we are rejecting that edit?
 
@NathanOsman I am because it's too minor AND because he's a spam user
 
OH MY NO...

> This edit is by a spam user which is attempting to gain reputation. It is not a "legit" edit in that sense, because it is also too minor a change.
 
4:54 AM
We're getting double spammed!
 
@NathanOsman if you want, you can improve and say that the edit wasn't helpful ;)
 
@NathanOsman that is the reject reason I used
and yes we have double spam
one asshat failure in life noob, and one spambot
 
hoo! my mac is very warm...wow.
 
Call to arms!
 
Fan is also loud. And double spam sucks
 
4:55 AM
you know the sad part, that this distract us from answering questions
 
@NathanOsman PREPARE TO FIRE THE IBMs*!
 
@NathanOsman FORWARD!
 
* Internet Ballistic Missiles
 
@ThomasW. IBMs?
I see
 
inb4
 
4:55 AM
15 secs ago, by Thomas W.
* Internet Ballistic Missiles
 
Ooo...nukes
Internet Nuclear Bomb 4, correct?
 
I thought you meant IBM (the company) :P
 
@NathanOsman lol
@NathanOsman so did the people on IRC before I said Internet Ballistic Missiles
 
Fire some of the old ones and it might just slow him down some :p
 
@NathanOsman then twenty people got banned for being stupid as a result, and everyone stopped talking for a while :P
 
4:56 AM
@ThomasW. OP abuse ¬_¬
 
@Braiam not really. the 20 people who were banned were bitcoin scammers
they were all in the channel scamming at the same time
i nuked them.
:)
 
wait, did the scammers get scammed too?
 
the scammers scammed 20 normal people
the 20 scammers got nuked.
the 20 people who got scammed now know better
 
s/normal/stupid/
 
and nobody argued against the bans.
@Braiam Yes, that.
 
4:58 AM

@NathanOsman That one still gets me xD
Whoop!
