@Anwar do you have an example? I can imagine generalizing a(n older) question would also answer a new question adequately. I am pretty sure I did it in the past to prevent repeating the answer practically.
I don't want to give example. but yes, I have
....When I did, it was mostly editing the title and/or tags, which are often more specific then needed,
... I haven't noticed anything like that from you.

[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Offensive body detected: How to free up CPU by monobogdan on askubuntu.com
ayyyy mint
17:42
appears
AT&T just bought Time Warner.
@NathanOsman so now they have DirecTV and Time Warner?
wait
ALL of Time Warner?
AT&T reaches deal to buy Time Warner for more than $80 billion; announcement later Saturday - Wall Street Journal http://on.wsj.com/2eT72HG
$80 billion. So I'd say yes.
Remember when ATT was Bell and had to be split up because they had a monopoly over communications?
Because it seems like they don't
and because we need our daily dose of trump
17:49
Like I need my daily dose of syrup of ipecac.
well that's a new bug. for no reason i was parted from all rooms o.O
A bug in SE?
Noooo
There's no such thing.
@ThomasWard I occasionally get logged out in the middle of chatting
It's a feature.

Q: Odd narrow layout of Feed on Android

Thomas WardThis is a little odd, but the Android application's feed shows really narrow for items even on a wider screen. Below is a picture of the layout on the screen of my Galaxy Tab E and how the narrowness is evil. Note this only seems to be on the feed, and not specific site pages or questions/answe...

^ that's a bug too
(also, i think Apple screwed up my phone repair. I can get my fingernail stuck on the home button, the edge is high up and sharp.)
@ThomasWard Is that a Tab S2?
@Zacharee1 Tab E. As stated in the post.
@ThomasWard um... screenshots are a thing :P
ah
oh lol
17:52
@KazWolfe Yes, but I wanted to include the border of the device for size-consideration
@KazWolfe also faster to do that since I was posting from my iPhone to Meta.SE, so picutre embed was seconds rather than time consuming
i can probably grind my pencap down on my iphone's touchid button.
@KazWolfe sounds like a plan
maybe not a good one, but a plan
well, i can, so...
this phone's already worthless.
iphone, generation old.
17:54
right
phones are stupid cheap after a while
so. SET SAIL FOR THE OP4
oooh, i forgot this was on my playlist... this is the music I listen to when I go to squish flags xD
Why does Windows remove the WOL flag every time it boots?
My Note 4 is still surprisingly expensive
@NathanOsman you've already narrowed down the problem. Third word in your message.
17:55
lol
hmmm.... I think it's flags squishing time...
Let the flags cower in fear.
Behold, for the flags, they shall cower in Fear! >:D
18:02
mods need to clear 1000 flags a day
18:19
Hello people!
@CristianaNicolae hello.
Greetings
@NathanOsman the flags have felt my wrath.
other things now on my radar.
@PhilipKirkbride greetings!
18:35
Wut.
Gogs doesn't support HEAD requests.
I'd like to have comments cleaned up on that post (except my last one and muru's maybe) askubuntu.com/q/840499/367990 Any mod around?
was wondering why it got so many DVs
See the title in the first revision.
yeah. I clicked on revision :)
does this answer make sense? askubuntu.com/a/383094/61218 (only click if you have enough time)
@Anwar close Q as off-topic or went away. It's mainly asking how to configure Win XP.
18:51
Thanks. That was what I am thinking.

Why does sometimes a spam post deleted with just 1 flag?
2
Gotta reboot, my hud-service is happily munching 25% CPU and >600MB RAM
@Anwar Ninja moderator.
And my Android VM stopped booting :-/
BRB
18:55
@Anwar Diamond-powered nuke-flags of post and spam destruction
@ThomasWard aha. That makes sense.
@ByteCommander I think it's a moderator flag (as Thomas said), rather than deletion. Because other times I see deleted by <modname>
it is :P
that's what @ByteCommander meant
"Ninja Moderator" means it was struck down by one of us before the community got a chance at it. That said, for 'spam' it's better to just purgify as spam :)
so we have all these weird horror clowns running around
and one of our tv stations decided it is a good time to show Stephen Kings It _O-
lol
@Rinzwind we had an issue with horror clowns terrorizing people on campus here. One of them thought it'd be a decent idea to try and freak me during my evening walk home.
Did not end well for them.
the subsequent swift police response helped.
Ah. So if a post is deleted as Spam, it will always be shown as "Deleted by community". right?
18:59
they caught 2 in Holland. 15 year old boy and a 14 year old girl
Off-topic: And I'm grabbing a glass of beer while my other hand digs deep into a large bag filled with potato chips... All these, because I kinda feel like celebrating. One year at my actual job! Cheers, guys! :-)
@Anwar If you take enough non-mod spam flags, Community will automatically delete, lock, and relay it to the spam system to try and train it to be caught in the future. Takes only one mod spam flag to execute the same exact fire-raid on the post.
@Anwar it helps that certain music on my playlist kicks me into a "Burn the Flags Queue" mood, and into a higher level of antispam activity, which is one reason that one post Smokey reported was insta-nuked
Oh. That's what I was assuming. It was a flag raised by mod. Not the use of deletion button on the post
@ThomasWard got it. Nice way of modding :)
@Anwar a similar playlist is one I listen to when going onto FPS games. Except that one fuels the wrath. This one fuels the fight against spam. :)

Q: I am no longer able to see the cursor

mikeI am running T.T. 16.04. As I was opening Pokerth to play I inadvertently clicked on the maximize button when the screen was already maximized, expanding it to the point where I cannot see the radio buttons or the edge of the desktop(clock, off button, etc). I cannot grab the screen with my mouse...

19:06
@CristianaNicolae Congratulations! :D
@ThomasWard I caught the conversation in the middle, but apparently there are some clowns dressing as clowns around here too, but I'm worried things will end up badly, if they decide to scary people in the wrong place in the wrong time
@IanC well the person who scared me got a heavy flashlight in their face. I tend to carry a heavy MagLite flashlight with me at night, and a tactical flashlight
tac flashlight for brigher light, MagLite for defense and light.
helps as a core inside my fist too - means heavier damage to them when I defend myself.
oh here in Holland one of those clowns ran into a 14 year old boy that is the current regional karate champ.... that clown had to run for his life _o-
that said, I caught a few of them so the one's scream of pain brought forth the police that were nearby
at least 5 were arrested
and i got off with a warning to not beat people in the face (SELFDEFENSE!)
@CristianaNicolae That's why I commented there.
never wait for the police and never admit to anything >:-D
I was told that by the police when I thrashed a chair onto someone when he punched someone in the face breaking that mans glasses (he got 100s of pieces into one eye)
19:11
I think they put one of those clowns to run in a city up to the north coast, at least so I heard, haven't spotted any yet, but I've heard a friend from work and his sister spotted one in my city
@Rinzwind considering they were going to tase me, the 'self defense' info I gave them was to prevent the tasing.
their friends scattered, but a bunch were caught
i had a witness nearby (security cameras)
@ThomasWard if a clown shows up all bets are off :D :D taser or no taser
@Anwar - That OP could make a typo or a pure mistake. Some people don't momorize well the name and the number of a specific distro, so, if asked, they can mess them up.
@Rinzwind if a clown shows up and startles me at night (or anyone for that matter), all bets are off, I will protect myself.
@IanC - Thank you! I rise my glass for you! :-)
19:15
@ThomasWard agreed. mind though I do not limit that to clowns :=D
Guys, I must say that what you're discussing here about clowns sounds pretty weird to me. I have never imagined that clowns could be scary and/or aggressive. Besides of that, usually, clowns are liked by people.
@CristianaNicolae wanna see a pix of one? It is not like they dress up as normal clowns
There was a ceramic clown that hung in my bedroom on the wall when I was 3 years old and I was absolutely terrified of it.
It scarred me for the rest of my life.
I can never look at a clown the same again.
In Sweden one of those clowns stabbed a man
That doesn't help...
19:16
Anyway, I usually see clowns at circus. Rarely on street.
what clown are you talking about?
the one they arrested in holland was using these->
@Anwar past few weeks some idiots dress up as a clown with a horror style mask and knives to scare people (and some even stab people)
@Zacharee1 seems like your area of expertise askubuntu.com/questions/840560/…
@Rinzwind ah. Got it.
dont know if it also happend outside of Europe though. In Holland a lot of them and I know of 1 in Sweden
19:20
That's scary!
some things are more scary :X
In my town, if someone would dress up like that (scary clown), they would most probably end up at the Police, maybe even with a recommendation for a psychiatric check up.
Never seen any of those clowns in my area of Germany yet...
@ByteCommander Rostock -> dw.com/en/…
warning: link has a pix
oh and says something about one in Kentucky so the US too
A horror clown is a contradiction. Is like saying bitter honey.
19:24
Phh... I'm not coulrophobic.
Besides, that's northern Germany. I'm in the south-west
fine Ill send a few over >:-D
dont want you to feel left out
Speaking about scary clowns though... ^_^
anyone know anything about security cameras?
They are cameras. For security.
At least that's what people claim.
Yes. I know. those are used for security
19:26
@ByteCommander good call :=)
Actually they're made by green aliens to control our minds. I hope you've got a set of tinfoil hats?
Someone smashed my children's pumpkins and broke our concrete statue...
lets see how I do
8 out of 12 :D
3/12 hell yeah!
noob!
19:31
let me see
@CristianaNicolae by the way, what are you working with?
damn, internet is slow today :/
No, I just don't have the mental hard drive space to remember every little detail about Ubuntu...
I have to purge every now and again...
@IanC maybe DYN is being DDosD again...
need food. bbl :+)
I don't think so, I already resolved the pages I'm using, think someone in the house is either downloading something or playing some heavy game @TheXed
7/12
19:37
For real though, I need to know if I where to buy a wireless IP camera, where does it record? At work we have fancy DVR's, but I think that would be overkill for one camera in a residential environment...
That probably depends on the model.
I could imagine there are models with more and less internal cache they can fill up until they have to transfer it anywhere or overwite the old material.
I have absolutely no experience with such things though.
@WinEunuuchs2Unix your post will soon become a good one, it's been linked on one of the mailing lists
20:03
@ByteCommander I would like to know if I can get one that will send the data to my NAS...
Sounds like it should be possible somehow, but again, I'm the wrong person to ask about such stuff.
@ByteCommander another thought would be...
+
+ some software I can't recall at the moment
@TheXed Maybe it would be enough to combine a motion sensor with a lawn sprinkler... That should keep nasty kids away and is probably much cheaper ;-)
Also works against cats leaving their poo on the lawn.
20:32
@Fabby Did that (as also suggested in an answer I already got), but did not work yet. Please see my comment below that answer at askubuntu.com/questions/840479
Why does AppArmor have to be so horribly complicated? :-/
@IanC I am an intern caregiver for a 83 years old lady with Alzheimer's and Diabetes...
@ByteCommander It's easy...
Not for me, as it seems.
So what's wrong?
I'm too tired now to start making full system backups and fiddling with my own guest account.
Remind me tomorrow.
Just looking at the docs makes me want to run away: wiki.apparmor.net/index.php/AppArmor_Core_Policy_Reference
Okay, thanks. Will do :)
20:39
Wow. 10,000 requests to my new server in 15 hours.
These websites get more traffic than I thought.
Serving Pr0n now? ;-)
Oh wait.
Those include the status pings.
ಠ_ಠ
I'll need to find a way to disable those.
It skews the metrics.
square_square
@Fabby I think you need to install a font.

Q: The Unicode look of disapproval no longer displays correctly in 16.04 - how do I fix this?

Nathan OsmanThe Unicode look of disapproval no longer displays correctly within Chrome and Firefox in Ubuntu 16.04: As you can see, the Unicode replacement character is shown instead of the correct symbol. This was working fine in 15.04 - what do I need to do to get this fixed?

Meh, now that I know what it looks like, I'mnot going to install a font just to get a look of dissaproval...
>:-)
20:52
@CristianaNicolae that's a noble job, taking care of someone who needs it
that new Dan Browns book movie is cool, not sure if the name is the same in english, it was trasnlated "Inferno" here
I didn't watch "Da Vince's code" but I think the vibe of the movie is very similar
I believe it is inferno here too...
yeah, I thought so, but since sometimes movies are translated differently here.. sometimes it's hilarious the name they come up with compared to the originals
I don't think they could get really creative with a movie named "Inferno" though :p
user136984
Goodnight! :)
@ParanoidPanda Pumpkin!
21:11
i wonder how hard it would be to convince people to switch over to my DNS spinoff root?
Pay them 1$ and they'll come flocking!
(Or does that not answer your question? ) >:-)
No good questions today and a lot of work for only 110 points.
@RPiAwesomeness The cute goat is here! :D
How are you doing???
21:29
@Fabby pumpkin? o.O
What does that mean?
Btw @Fabby The guest-session apparmor thing got more complicated. I need to be able to access an encfs mount point inside the directory I want to unlock.
Old joke: Back in the beginning, @ParanoidPanda was not allowed to stay up late by his parents (even on the weekend) and as he had to go to bed by 23:00 BST (our midnight) I told him stuff like:
Oh, your glass shoes are going to turn back to dirty old ones
Your dress is going to dissapear
(Remember I teased him he was a girl?)
Ah Aschenputtel... How is that fairy tale called in English again?
and: Your charriot is going to turn into a pumpkin
Cinderella
so nowadays it's just "Pumpkin!!!"
21:32
Right... There's a Disney parody of it.
There is probably also a Pr0n parody about Cinderella.
Probably xD
>:-)
Better than Snowwhite with her seven gnomes though...
:D
I just googled it and got a hit! :O
I just made that up, and it seems to be true!
21:36
I call R34 into play.
I better not use that in Slack!
(thanks for the cultural reference @KazWolfe. Never heard of that one.
What are the other 33 rules?
1. Do not mention /b/
2. Do NOT mention /b/
3-32 are up for debate
Rule 35 is "If any given thing does not have Rule 34, someone will make it soon"
Rule 63 is "For any male character, there is a female version, and vice versa"
Rule 69 is "Lol 69"
:D
I like these rules better.
Used to quote them endlessly about 10 years ago (until my then boss forbade them)
[Warning, NSFW maybe ^]
These are the original "official" rules
@Zanna @CristianaNicolae ---^ rule #30
Too bad Helen isn't around any more...
21:42
and this is the wiki-sorta thingy
this is treated as sorta the official one now
but the only rules everyone agrees on are 1, 2, 34, 35, 63, and a couple others
They're good.
@ThomasWard Thanks for news about my post being on the mailing list. Your ping showed up as a message on my smartphone. I had no idea this Stack Exchange could do that.
@WinEunuuchs2Unix behold the awesomeness of app notifications via the SE apps.

Q: POWER8 architecture tag(s)?

RandallI'm looking for answers regarding the POWER8 server architecture. Which tag(s) should I use? I see that there's a tag for 'ppc64le', and also a tag for 'powerpc'. Which one is best?

@ThomasWard Can Ubuntu do that when my UPS turns on (ie power goes off)?
21:49
Yes, it can.
You can set up a script to check the UPS
^ that
And then send an email to you
or use a notification script.
My router does that and shoots me an e-mail
@AskUbuntuMeta i'm nervous because 1rep user
@Fabby I'm too old for that rule
@IanC Thank you for your kind words! Well, I have to admit that this job can be quite scary at times. I remember that exactly one year ago, this old lady was hard to deal with because of her aggressive and unpredictable manifestations. But now, one year after, she is a lot calmer. And me too!
@Zanna I still call rule 30.
21:51
@KazWolfe what you gonna do about it?
@Zanna Nothing. I'm not the Internet Police Cops.
heh I'll deal with them when they show up
@Fabby Huh?! Rule #30? Why do I have the feeling that we are in Star Trek Deep Space Nine?...
this reminds me to write a meta post about how the Sportsmanship badge I just got is misgendering me....
@KazWolfe are there sample UPS scripts around? Also SE used a text message for Thomas's ping which is more meaningful than e-mail, which I tend to ignore when they come first in.
21:54
@Zanna Should it be "Sportswomanship"?...
Sportspersonship
that ^
@Zanna I'm probably twice your age!
although Sportsmanship is supposedly a gender neutral term
Sportshumanship - that's better! We are a species, after all.
21:55
works
Besides, nowadays, sports often lack the human part.
@Fabby I'm just saying, anyone who calls me a girl gonna get a side-eye
Sportsmammalship because there are lots of cat videos on the net.
@CristianaNicolae There is no known Rule #30 of acquisition...
@Fabby uhm
official licensed Trek works have one
21:56
@Zanna There is something as "too politically correct" and we crossed that boundary when Firman became firefighter...
@Zanna like nurse...
@Fabby But if we stick to canon, then there isn't. memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Ferengi_Rules_of_Acquisition
@CristianaNicolae I'm not of your species! I'm a Vorlon...
@Zanna Anything half my age is a "girl"... ;-)
@Fabby I don't see the word man in there
@Fabby nope. ;-)
@ThomasWard erm
@Fabby uhm you missed my second post
21:58
@ThomasWard Ah!
1 min ago, by Thomas Ward
@Fabby But if we stick to canon, then there isn't. http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Ferengi_Rules_of_Acquisition
reprograms @Fabby's brain with Borg Nanoprobes to be more attentive to chat details
@Zanna Nope,, it's gender-neutral, as should be fireman
<--- Trek fan, both canon and non canon
Actually, the first time someone told me the word "firefighter" I thought they said "firefarter"
