@NathanOsman That Windows ME USB scanner demo though ;)

Nathan Osman

Was that the one with the BSOD on stage?

Serg

Em .... got it in 2008 but they were around for years already

Or was it 2009?

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman ME bluescreened onstage?

hbdgaf

@NathanOsman That's the one.

Serg

Speaking of bsod. Our University reimaged all pcs over the summer but now they all bsod once a student logs out

Zacharee1

12:04 AM

lol

Serg

So i have to tell every one asking that this is normal behavior.

Zacharee1

"Normal"

hbdgaf

I only get in the naughty zone if I run out of beer, energy drinks, or jalapeno cheetos.

Zacharee1

Well we're on-topic

:P

There's the ":P" for you guys

hbdgaf

BSOD on all university computers when one student gets naughty. I only get naughty when something ridiculous /explanation.

Zacharee1

12:07 AM

ok..

....

Nathan Osman

Lol. So Facebook was down earlier today, apparently. So what does everyone do? They flock to Twitter to complain about it.

hbdgaf

@Zacharee1 Now you know why I was happy to find someone local I can play chess or talk with. We can relate. I can't make that previous statement any clearer.

@NathanOsman Did twitter get slower/go down?

Nathan Osman

No, but that would have been hilarious.

Then everyone would flock to Instagram...

Serg

Tumblr would be next

Nathan Osman

I was going to say MySpace - but then I felt old.

hbdgaf

12:10 AM

Dominoes buddy. The domino effect would have been epic.

Zacharee1

Look at this amazing theme thingy:

hbdgaf

@NathanOsman MySpace. The place for people that will never graduate from highschool.

It didn't start that way, but once facebook came around - that's what it turned in to.

Zacharee1

poor MySpace

brb

Nathan Osman

It used to be everything Facebook is now - except with very wild colors and terribly customized pages.

("terribly customized" doesn't sound quite right.)

hbdgaf

Yeah. It did.

@NathanOsman How about CSS+JS monstrosities that would make Brendan Eich cry.

Nathan Osman

12:13 AM

Yeah, and lots of people were still on dial-up back then.

hbdgaf

So, evidently I browse kickstarter too much kickstarter.com/projects/skarp/…

Zacharee1

@hbdgaf I dunno. That sounds cool

hbdgaf

I'll just go change in to my hipster pants, so cool matters.

Zacharee1

:\

hbdgaf

It is cool though, and I hope they get a production run.

Zacharee1

12:21 AM

Well they're like 6x over their goal

Mateo

@hbdgaf huh, did they show someone shaving with it?

Zacharee1

Not yet

It's still a little dangerous apparently

hbdgaf

@Mateo No, that's what I was driving at.

Zacharee1

But it's got a projected release of March 2016

If, for whatever reason, you end up in a Spanish-speaking area/country never say estoy excitado

hbdgaf

I'm more of a "we have a pilot production release of 100 units. here's what those hundred people have to say... we need to do a real production run."

so, my Dad got a new phone and I was setting it up for him when something (I'm not sure if it was Google sync or that stupid Verizon backup app) decided it needed to install any app that had ever been installed on his old phone, regardless of whether it was currently installed on it or not.

Nathan Osman

@hbdgaf was just looking at that audio issue... it may be an issue with ALSA channels - they appear to be set to mono only. This could be a configuration issue only but it may also be a weakness of the driver ("Beats Audio" is not so well supported). Presently I have no idea how to fix this. Beats Audio should be renamed to Beast Audio ;)

@danidee wireless issues can be due to kernel bugs - so filing a bug report on launchpad is the first way to deal. The kernel guys often say "try the latest kernel to see if its resolved" ... so that could be your next action and you can add what you've tried to the bug report

Q: Is there any benefit to using IPv6 on my home network?

@Fabby lol. No. blade19899. A half vampire that has all the benefits of a vampire but is still a human, is to cool to give up for "Mr.Back-up" :)

Now, to food making I go.

Go is really doing something weird here with os.RemoveAll()... it's leaving the directory intact but inaccessible to the current user.

@NathanOsman Was it the pwd you removed?

@Fabby I like to see this : always have a recent system backup available ! ... what I always say as well ... =)

Nathan Osman

@Fabby Before you start helping me, I must warn you that this is on Windows :P

The app works fine on Linux.

Fabby

@cl-netbox Good one! From not on I'll add to my answers that PS1 always will contain this string! :D

@NathanOsman Let me rephrase: did you remove the CWD?

(Current Working Directory = M$ speak for pwd)

I used to be a M$ SysAdmin...

cl-netbox

@Fabby :D

Fabby

Actually I think I'm still an MCP...

Back at the time, the WinNT3.51 ones didn't have an expiration date...

:P

@Fabby no, not the working directory.

In fact the program actually creates the directory it tries to remove a few seconds later.

And yes, I carefully close all open files in the directory.

It looks like I'll have to reduce this to a simple test case and possibly file a bug.

Fabby

@NathanOsman Just stating the obvious...

I should have known better then to state the obvious with someone as thorough as you @NathanOsman

>:-)

Nathan Osman

Oh I didn't mean to come across that way. Sorry.

I forgot to put ":P" at the end of each sentence.

Just wanted to save you from asking the usual questions. ("Did you try turning it on and off again?" :P)

Fabby

@NathanOsman :D No! you didn't come across like that! That's why I put the smiley in there...

Nathan Osman

Okay.

Fabby

(I should have put one on the first line as well!) :P ;-)

@NathanOsman :D :D :D

I just tried looking at it from a system's perspective: if it's a bug, what would be a workaround? @NathanOsman

off to cook dinner!

Well, it doesn't actually affect the runtime of the application itself due to the way things are set up. BUT - it causes the unit tests to fail and it would represent a bug in Go's runtime.

So although a workaround isn't needed for the app to run, I still (sadly) need to address this.

Q: pam_tally2 doesn't count fails over ssh

I have added line auth required pam_tally2.so deny=3 unlock_time=180 to my /etc/pam.d/login file, and that's fine and dandy in tty, after 3 attempts testuser gets suspended. However, that very same line in /etc/pam.d/sshd produces no effect. xieerqi:$ ssh testuser@localhost Password: Passw...

ssh pam

Anybody willing to enlighten me on the science of pam modules ?

@Serg ... would prefer to kill some mugs of coffee (mixed with vodka or whatever you put in it) with you ... =)

Serg

@cl-netbox trust me , I would prefer that, too :)

Unfortunately, I'm at work, so no alcohol allowed.

A: Trouble automounting an SD card on Trusty

To mount the card automatically at /mnt in a running system you need an additional udev rule. Without the rule, the card is mounted in /media/username. The configuration in /etc/fstab is the wrong place for that or you have to plug the card before you boot your system or you have to start mount ...
