However, better than no points, so I shouldn't complain too much :D

My highest answer has 60 goats and is accepted . . . lags behind ByteCommander dramatically

Terrance

My highest question is 8

But then again, it is my only question. ;)

highest question is 22 though

@Serg You have 2 million people reached though, twice as many as me.

Terrance

WOW!

320K for me

8:43 PM

that too . . .I'd like to double my goats though

aaand somebody downvoted my perfectly valid answer

seems like that someone mixed up double-goats and downgoats...

eh . . . some people are just too afraid of extra material. I hate that. By definition downvote signifies answer is not useful. My answer provides proper solution and plus some extra. People need to learn how voting system works.

@NathanOsman well Gamecube games play...

Sure , we can go around clapping to simple and short answers , but it is kind of disappointing to see when thoughtful and detailed answers get -1

@TheXed It actually works?

8:50 PM

Yeah...but it is harder then hell to play gamecube games with a keyboard

Hmm If I could only get my xbox 360 controller to work with it...

then I can get Iso's of my wii games...

and party!

@KazWolfe georgethedev.xyz \o/

It was solved by adding the "passHostHeader = true" flag to Traefik in the configuration for that website's frontend.

ubuntu.com finally has an ssl certificate!

Waiting on their score on ssl labs: ssllabs.com/ssltest/…

Drum roles, Ubuntu.com's score is...

> "A"

Mine is A+. Winning!

9:06 PM

Let's check nitroshare.net...

user136984

I am now running Ubuntu GNOME 16.10 with GNOME 3.22!!! :D

A+ too, high-five @blade19899 :)

@NathanOsman sweet got that figured out...

@NathanOsman you just opened up a whole world of gaming possibilities on my PC :-D

@NathanOsman **Virtual High Five!

@TheXed Apparently, certain DVD drives can rip Wii discs directly. I might see if I can get my hands on one...

9:10 PM

SSL Server Test: eurobytes.nl (Powered by Qualys SSL Labs)

Worse case scenario is I can download them but I rather not waste my bandwidth if I don't have to...

@NathanOsman that and trying to find them can be challenging...

When I have time, gonna try to get Public Key Pinning (HPKP) to work.

user136984

Apart from all being a bit slower than on 16.04, no real big difference.

user136984

Well, at least no big visible difference.

Not too happy with Yakkety?

Or are you talking about something else?

9:16 PM

a+ here too :D

i wish it told us how to improve things.

user136984

@ByteCommander: Yakkety. It's just really slow...

user136984

I haven't had such a slow Ubuntu version not in a VM before...

@blade19899 playing with fire, eh?

o.o corsair has amazing keyboard prices right now.

i might finally jump

and the corsair server hug-of-death targeted itself

9:39 PM

@KazWolfe where?

right now their entire server is on fire i think

gah, i can't decide between MX Blue or MX browns

how clicky are the browns? anybody have them?

good evening!

Reason #105 not to like MySQL - disk usage is absolutely 100% ridiculous.

What are those files?

user136984

@ThomasWard By the way, isn't "offtopic" normally hyphenated? I think it at least makes it easier to read even if it's not necessary.

@NathanOsman innodb stuff

Pffft. I'm not amused.

This is why I use PostgreSQL.

Well, okay, there are other reasons too.

the two logs stay the same size all the time

it's just the ibdata that grows

It still seems stupid.

10:55 PM

The file doesn't compress well...

What's in it?

binary data i think

user136984

Goodnight! :)

@KazWolfe Shouldn't it be all zeroes though until some data gets entered?

...and therefore have a really high compression ratio?

@NathanOsman let's make a compression algo that removes all the zeros.

Lol, that's my joke.

11:06 PM

no, because it does logs/caching/indexing/etc.

(or i honestly don't know, that's just how it is, and no, you need those files there for InnoDB to work.

Then my comment stands:

29 mins ago, by Nathan Osman

It still seems stupid.

Blue Jays lost :(

Go Cubs!

calling it now, cubs choke.

@KazWolfe ಠ_ಠ

they're 1-2 in the series, losing 11-8

Gah.

Bad day for sports.

11:19 PM

i mean, if the cubs win tonight, it'll be tied.

knowing the cubs, they'll go to 3-3 in the last game.

Yeah, probably.

top 9, Dodgers hit a homerun to make the score 1-0, and the Cubs lose.

Specifically, they lose bottom 9, bases loaded, 3 balls, 1 strike, 2 outs.

dinky hit to second baseman who gets the easy out at first.

No, it will be tied after the ninth and the Dodgers will knock it out at the top of the 10th.

Let's at least keep everyone on the edge of their seat for one more inning :D

i think bases loaded bottom 9 is pretty good

Okay, fair enough.

11:22 PM

no. sorry, not 2 outs.

1-0 Dodgers, 1 out, runners on all bases. 3 balls, 1 strike.

I see where this is going...

Cubs are up and hit a dinky hit to shortstop. Dodgers get a double-play.

the heartbreak.

The curse.

Will last forever

Or until nobody cares anymore.

Curse of the Billy Goat

The Curse of the Billy Goat is a sports-related curse that was supposedly placed on the Chicago Cubs Major League Baseball (MLB) franchise in 1945 when Billy Goat Tavern owner Billy Sianis was asked to leave game 4 of the World Series against the Detroit Tigers at the Cubs' home ballpark of Wrigley Field because the odor of his pet goat (named Murphy) was bothering other fans. He was outraged and allegedly declared "Them Cubs, they ain't gonna win no more," which has been interpreted to mean that there would never be another World Series game won at Wrigley Field. The Cubs have not won a World...

All they need to do is let that exact goat back into the stadium.

It's not going to smell any better 70 years later...

it's not going to be alive anymore

That's... kinda my point...

and because the curse requires the same goat to be in the same place...

in the same condition it was...

there's no breaking the curse.

Source: BS Degree in Voodoo, Hexes, Curses, and Charms

> "Sam Sianis, nephew of Billy Sianis, has been brought out onto Wrigley Field with a goat multiple times in attempts to break the curse: on Opening Day in 1984 and 1989 (in both years, the Cubs went on to win their division), in 1994 to stop a home losing streak, and in 1998 for the Wild Card play-in game (which the Cubs won)."

Okay, that is legit funny.

11:29 PM

any regular live goat will sate the curse temporarily, but won't break it.

but here's the issue.

In order to break the curse, that specific goat needs to be present at the World Series at Wrigley Stadium when the Cubs are playing.

But because the curse blocks the Cubs from getting to the World Series...

Catch-22

The Cleveland Indians haven't won a World Series since 1948.

I mean, it's theoretically possible to also break the curse just by having that same goat there, but the only surefire way to break the curse is to have the goat there during the world series.

I think for the former though, you need to burn a certain type of incense while saying the exact same words spoken to apply the curse, but only backwards.

You may or may not also need a blood pentagram around home plate with the goat in the center for this.

wat...

@KazWolfe I dare you to run it askubuntu.com/questions/839418/java-program-help-needed

@Zacharee1 k compiling and uploading to your server

thx

It returns: "sorry, but Ask Ubuntu isn't the place to ask for people to do your homework, especially when the homework has nothing to do with Ubuntu." Weird, because it's a double array. — Zacharee1 13 secs ago

@KazWolfe nooooooo
