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

TheXed

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...

blade19899

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.

Byte Commander

9:14 PM

Not too happy with Yakkety?

Or are you talking about something else?

Kaz Wolfe

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...

Kaz Wolfe

@blade19899 playing with fire, eh?

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

nathan@sf:~$ du /data

205 MB for a nearly-clean WordPress DB.

Aha!

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.

Kaz Wolfe

@NathanOsman innodb stuff

Nathan Osman

Pffft. I'm not amused.

This is why I use PostgreSQL.

Well, okay, there are other reasons too.

Kaz Wolfe

the two logs stay the same size all the time

it's just the ibdata that grows

Nathan Osman

It still seems stupid.

Nathan Osman

10:55 PM

The file doesn't compress well...

What's in it?

Kaz Wolfe

binary data i think

user136984

Goodnight! :)

Nathan Osman

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

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

Kaz Wolfe

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

Nathan Osman

Lol, that's my joke.

Kaz Wolfe

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.

Nathan Osman

Then my comment stands:

It still seems stupid.

Blue Jays lost :(

Go Cubs!

Kaz Wolfe

calling it now, cubs choke.

Nathan Osman

@KazWolfe ಠ_ಠ

Kaz Wolfe

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

Nathan Osman

Gah.

Bad day for sports.

Kaz Wolfe

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.

Nathan Osman

Yeah, probably.

Kaz Wolfe

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.

Nathan Osman

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

Kaz Wolfe

i think bases loaded bottom 9 is pretty good

Nathan Osman

Okay, fair enough.

Kaz Wolfe

11:22 PM

no. sorry, not 2 outs.

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

Nathan Osman

I see where this is going...

Kaz Wolfe

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

the heartbreak.

Nathan Osman

The curse.

Kaz Wolfe

Will last forever

Nathan Osman

Or until nobody cares anymore.

Kaz Wolfe

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.

Nathan Osman

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

Kaz Wolfe

it's not going to be alive anymore

Nathan Osman

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

Kaz Wolfe

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

Nathan Osman

> "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.

Kaz Wolfe

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

Nathan Osman

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

Kaz Wolfe

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

Kaz Wolfe

@Zacharee1 k compiling and uploading to your server

Zacharee1

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
