and then call those with if else?

Rinzwind

no?

Zacharee1

idk

Rinzwind

you want to set the alert anyways so no if needed :-)

Zacharee1

I'm trying to display this in an HTML div, not in a JS alert

Rinzwind

I'd use a tenary

Zacharee1

13:01

?

Rinzwind

html = (status == 0 ) ? "<img alertred.png>" : "<img alertgreen.png>";

Zacharee1

Do I replace html with my div id?

Rinzwind

you change the innerHTML of the div id yes

Zacharee1

ok

Rinzwind

or add to it.

Zacharee1

13:03

But right now I'm still having issues with the numplayers thing

I have this:

                                            var d = JSON.stringify(data);
                                            var t = JSON.parse(d);
                                            document.getElementById('data1').innerHTML = t[numplayers];

but it shows nothing on the page

(in the data1 div)

grooveplex

maybe wrap numplayers in "quotes"?

Zacharee1

undefined o_O

grooveplex

like t['numplayers'];?

Zacharee1

yeah

grooveplex

Then maybe try console.log(t) and show us the output

Zacharee1

13:05

hang on

console.log works fine

grooveplex

chances are, there's no numplayers key

Zacharee1

I used backticks

there is

scroll up a bit

Rinzwind

@Zacharee1 NO single quotes!

Zacharee1

@Rinzwind I did it by accident :p

Rinzwind

or doubles

grooveplex

13:06

Try t[0]["numplayers"]

Rinzwind

@Zacharee1 they one I used worked for me ;-)

Zacharee1

@grooveplex blank

blegh

Anonymous

@Mateo is that media converter site legit?

Zacharee1

@Rinzwind I have to parse dynamically though, because that output will change

Do I need to stringify data, then parse it then display it I think?

grooveplex

I would do l['query']['numplayers'] if l held the output of json.loads(t)

in Python

Zacharee1

13:10

lson.loads now?

grooveplex

Maybe that helps

Zacharee1

this is JS

grooveplex

I know

Zacharee1

idk how to convert :p

grooveplex

But maybe, try t["query"]["numplayers"]

Maybe it works?

Zacharee1

13:11

I could try

grooveplex

This is it

Zacharee1

hey hey hey

I got 0

grooveplex

It's working for me

Zacharee1

good

grooveplex

woohooo

I got to go now

If there's something you want me to see, pleae @mention me

Zacharee1

13:12

kk

I shall

now I just need to make sure that 0 can change :p

Mateo

@onebree who knows, was the first result...

Just don't do the ones that request email or any info

Zacharee1

it changes!

@Rinzwind is there a way I can make this script refresh itself every few seconds?

Rinzwind

@Zacharee1 Sure. easiest is to reload the page(?)

Zacharee1

I mean automatically

Mateo

I suppose it could still inject somecode int the mp3 ;p

Rinzwind

13:14

otherwise you need to crate a "timeout"

Zacharee1

hao

put setTimeout() around the function?

grooveplex

Yes

Well

Zacharee1

Doesn't like it

Putting it around this:

                                        jQuery.ajax({
                                            url: "https://xpw1.no-ip.org:8443/server",
                                            type: "GET",
                                            headers: {
                                            "X-Access-Server": "ab0a58a5-0be6-4501-9596-c1c9784a356f",
                                            "X-Access-Token": "8f22b1f6-d197-4fc1-8e60-decd6c89c74a",
                                            },

grooveplex

oh no wait

SetInterval is what you need

@Zacharee1

Zacharee1

yeah

OK so I need to wrap that in another function

grooveplex

13:20

yep

Zacharee1

then make setInterval run that

grooveplex

I like the way you're thinking

Maybe like this

ugh

gist.github.com/anonymous/ece7e773bbb5a74b8363a21bd2a358ab @Zacharee1

Zacharee1

I did it ! :D

oh

grooveplex

I think you might also like jsonprettyprint.com

Zacharee1

heheh

I put the code in a function and then referred to the function with setInterval

I might

grooveplex

13:23

That's a way to do it

Zacharee1

Now I need to get the rest of the data to display as well

well the data that I want

Then I need to format it :p

grooveplex

I can help you

Zacharee1

uh oh

the players elements looks like another array

eh, I'll get to it eventually

grooveplex

Here's the JSON you sent us, pretty printed: gist.github.com/anonymous/51071a558cb773d908277b0f8426c71a

Zacharee1

oooh

grooveplex

13:28

That's way easier ^^

What kind of data will the players key hold?

Zacharee1

Names

so strings

grooveplex

Are you sure you want that to display on your site?

But okay

I think a for loop could help you with that one

Zacharee1

well it's in with the setInterval stuff

hang on though

grooveplex

What about we move to our own room>

Zacharee1

sure

blade19899

13:29

Does anybody know why Microsoft SNDS blocks every new IP adres I buy?

Zacharee1

@blade19899 they hate you

blade19899

@Zacharee1 I already know that; still, how can I keep myself from SNDS?

Zacharee1

lol

Rinzwind

@Zacharee1 be careful with those :)

Zacharee1

@Rinzwind well we're doing setInterval now

Room for grooveplex and Zacharee1

I really should print this out and pin it on my wall:

Zacharee1

@Rinzwind me?

Bharadwaj Raju

@Zacharee1 He means that meta question, probably

Zacharee1

14:18

ohhh

because I am too ;p

Bharadwaj Raju

22 hours ago, by Serg

@Zacharee1 roses are red, violets are blue, i am a n00b, but so are you

Thomas W.

@Zacharee1 how so?

Byte Commander

VTC or delete this Q: askubuntu.com/q/787317/367990

Zacharee1

@ThomasW. I now have an API key on my website

it gives access to file deletion

dunno how to hide it or anything

Well I need to go for maybe 20 mins

Thomas W.

14:34

@Zacharee1 Nothing I can really suggest on improvement

the question is whether the requestor reaching in has to provide said API key

and if so, then you're limited on options

short of just shutting the port to only IPs you trust

Byte Commander

Close/delete this Q, OP asked the same 3 hours earlier and does not really react on the comments requesting information. askubuntu.com/q/787316/367990

terdon

Done

Bharadwaj Raju

That OP... Reverted Arronical's edits and replaces ' (quote) with ` (backtick), resulting in a hideous appearance

Why would anyone actively revert a good edit?

Byte Commander

Maybe he can't accept critic and perceives this edit as that?

Bharadwaj Raju

sigh

When asked for info:

> Is that all I can get from you???

Too many people seem to think we read minds

Stefano Palazzo

14:48

One little error message from the software centre and this guy is already opening terminals and ttys and running commands.

2016 will not be the year of the linux desktop :\

Bharadwaj Raju

We need to abstract away

In every case where a GUI error needs Terminal info, apps should have some sort of 'More details' button that basically shows the output of commands that provide said info

Basically the same thing happens, except users don't need to see the Terminal or enter any command

Stefano Palazzo

Update manager does this

Rinzwind

@BharadwajRaju no

@Zacharee1 no

Stefano Palazzo

Gives you the whole terminal if you want to

Rinzwind

@Zacharee1 this one

3

A: help understanding sudo -s

What does the root and # mean in the second command line tag? It means you edit the system as "root". That is 1 more level up than from "sudo" and 1 more up from your normal users activities ... what does this mode allow you to do ... and (almost) all permissions checks are neglected...

Bharadwaj Raju

14:52

Yes, something like that

@Rinzwind why no?

terdon

Expecting to run a full Linux system without ever seeing a terminal seems impossible to me. I think you will need to sacrifice some features and customizability as OSX does and as Ubuntu seems to be going for. At what point down that rabbit hole does it stop being Linux though?

Rinzwind

@BharadwajRaju no as in the "newbie detected" see the link ;-)

Byte Commander

@StefanoPalazzo Me?

Rinzwind

@terdon not true

Stefano Palazzo

@ByteCommander yes :)

well no, the guy you responded to

Byte Commander

14:53

What would you advise instead?

terdon

This might be a good thing and is probably necessary if Linux is to become the default Desktop OS, but I've never understood why that is even a target.

Stefano Palazzo

You can run terminals and stuff. That's fine.

Rinzwind

@terdon mu mother users Ubuntu and does not need a terminal ;-)

terdon

@Rinzwind I said full, as in taking full advantage of what the system offers.

Rinzwind

@terdon and here i disagree

Stefano Palazzo

14:54

@ByteCommander don't know. It was just frustration talking I guess.

terdon

@Rinzwind Sure. And I convinced my ex to as well. I still had to tweak it for her every now and then.

Rinzwind

the terminal is NOT a problem. It is the biggest asset we have

Bharadwaj Raju

@terdon The terminal is never going away. But we can minimize it's need for beginners, still keeping it's power for advanced users

terdon

@Rinzwind Exactly.

Rinzwind

we need a big ass company

terdon

14:54

Why?

Rinzwind

commericials on TV and radio

Bharadwaj Raju

This ^

terdon

Why should Linux aim to become the standard Desktop OS?

Stefano Palazzo

@Rinzwind yeah, with a super rich sponsor, and the cream of the open source community working for them

maybe an astronaut.

Byte Commander

:)

Rinzwind

14:55

when there is an MS or apple advert on tv instantly have one following with Linux

Byte Commander

Not to forget, it's the first African in space.

terdon

@ByteCommander Who?

Bharadwaj Raju

Mark Shuttleworth

Nathan Osman

Lol.

Rinzwind

good q. I don't think we should or have to ;-)
all we need is a sane model. not even needs to be about money

Byte Commander

14:56

The super rich sponsor astronaut behind Ubuntu.

Bharadwaj Raju

-- Ubuntu founder

Stefano Palazzo

Mark Shuttleworth, Isle of Man, United Kingdom

4.1k 1 13 24

unity juju maas ubuntu-core 11.04 openstack launcher

Zacharee1

@ThomasW. The key needs to be provided, but it's on the site in plain text as part of a JQuery function.

Rinzwind

@StefanoPalazzo he aint rich enough

terdon

@BharadwajRaju Oh. Hadn't realized he'd been to space.

Stefano Palazzo

14:56

Well maybe a company then

Like IBM

Rinzwind

redhat and suse are also not big enough

terdon

@Rinzwind Yup. It just doesn't make sense to aim for desktop dominance. Frankly, I think it would be a bad idea to achieve it anyway.

Nathan Osman

Oracle, amirite? :D

Rinzwind

and IBM is just a patent troll :X

Byte Commander

@Rinzwind No? So you suggest selling it to Bill <Billyboy> Gates? I guess there's more money... :-/

Rinzwind

14:57

@ByteCommander there are more

Elon Musk

Byte Commander

Never heard.

Bharadwaj Raju

Elon Musk might be a great sponsor

Rinzwind

@ByteCommander space-x? Tesla?

jokerdino

lol

Byte Commander

Aha.

Stefano Palazzo

14:58

Linux and GNU are absolutely wonderful, cutting edge, polished, and just work.

Rinzwind

Jack Ma?

jokerdino

alibaba?

Stefano Palazzo

It's just that silly desktop thing that's broken

Bharadwaj Raju

GNOME's desktop is simple and polished

Rinzwind

@jokerdino he spent gazillions helping others :X

Bharadwaj Raju

14:59

Though they seem too fond of feature removal

Rinzwind

ehm

Nathan Osman

But... but this is the year of the Linux desktop.

As was 2015, 2014, 2013...

RPi Awesomeness

>.<

Rinzwind

well

I like it how it is now

jokerdino

I like how it is.

Bharadwaj Raju

15:01

Me too

Nathan Osman

Let's all switch to BSD.

Bharadwaj Raju

Only (usable) OS that allows such freedom

BSD? xkcd.com/349

terdon

@StefanoPalazzo Exactly!

Rinzwind

BBL

operation dustcloud starts NOW

Nathan Osman

Case cleaning day?

Byte Commander

15:03

:D

Stefano Palazzo

Years ago I turned up to the Ubuntu Developer Summit with a MacBook :)

terdon

Getting kinda dated, but still worth a read:

cristal.inria.fr/~weis/info/commandline.html

Byte Commander

You either are very fastidious concerning the hygiene inside your machines, or you produce significantly above-average amounts of dust...

Stefano Palazzo

First because my employer gave it to me, but also to make them think :P

Bharadwaj Raju

@terdon That is a great book.

terdon

15:05

@BharadwajRaju Yup. Well, hardly a book, it's an essay.

Bharadwaj Raju

> "Can't you see that everyone is buying station wagons?"

This describes us:

> Bullhorn: "But if you accept one of our free tanks we will send volunteers to your house to fix it for free while you sleep!"

terdon

> Imagine a crossroads where four competing auto dealerships are situated. One of them (Microsoft) is much, much bigger than the others. It started out years ago selling three-speed bicycles (MS-DOS); these were not perfect, but they worked, and when they broke you could easily fix them.

There was a competing bicycle dealership next door (Apple) that one day began selling motorized vehicles--expensive but attractively styled cars with their innards hermetically sealed, so that how they worked was something of a mystery.

That's the best bit :)

Bharadwaj Raju

Agreed.

> volunteers to your house

That's the AU community

Thomas W.

@Zacharee1 And that's visible on the source of the page?

Zacharee1

yeah

I don't have it uploaded yet, so it isn't public, but it will be once I do (of course :p)

cl-netbox

15:11

Hello and good afternoon ! :)

Zacharee1

@cl-netbox morning for 49 more mins here ;p

cl-netbox

@Zacharee1 so : good morning to you ! :)

Bharadwaj Raju

And it's night here (8:41 PM)

Zacharee1

o_O

cl-netbox

@BharadwajRaju so : good evening (night) to you ! :)

Bharadwaj Raju

15:12

What we need to wish is "Good time" instead of "Good <morning|afternoon|evening|night>"

Zacharee1

@BharadwajRaju we could make an if statement with a prompt

jokerdino

cool

@ThomasW. annoying ping

jokerdino

@Zacharee1 why?

user139252

@Zacharee1 Alright, what do I need to do to my MC server before using curl on your script?

Zacharee1

@TheBrownOne you need to do the curl first, then move your server

@jokerdino wasn't sure if he got my reply to him since I didn't use a ping

jokerdino

I see.

Zacharee1

@TheBrownOne I'll tell you what to do. Are you ready to run the script?

@jokerdino not the best choice of words, sorry

Thomas W.

15:21

@Zacharee1 Then you need a different way to do it

or lock out access to the page entirely

Zacharee1

is there?

Thomas W.

i'm not a web developer

go ask one

user139252

@Zacharee1 Wait, move it? Move it where?

Zacharee1

@TheBrownOne When I create a server from the panel on the node (Scales instance) you set up with the script, it'll create a pp-serverna-randomchars folder under /home/. You need to put the server stuff under /home/pp-*-*/public/

user139252

Or, y'know, make a symlink

user139252

15:23

Save my SSD some write cycles.

Zacharee1

@TheBrownOne that too

You'll have to symlink the public folder though, not the pp- one

unless you mirror the structure

@TheBrownOne run this:

sudo bash -c 'source <(curl -sSLk x-p-w.tk/auth/remote/deploy/…;

cl-netbox

Hi @jokerdino ! :)

Zacharee1

it doesn't matter if people see it; they don't have your hostname ;p

jokerdino

Bharadwaj Raju

The curl returns the x-p-w.tk homepage in html

I know because I tried it :) (Curiosity)

Zacharee1

15:28

@TheBrownOne uhhh

oh

sudo bash -c 'source <(curl -sSLk pp.x-p-w.tk/auth/remote/deploy/…;

Try that @TheBrownOne

you'll have to edit the config

Bharadwaj Raju

Yeah that gives a bash script

user139252

What are you installing on my precious little Lubuntu box? D=

Zacharee1

a nodejs instance with npm

it's the server control backend

Bharadwaj Raju

Just to be safe run curl -sSLk http://pp.x-p-w.tk/auth/remote/deploy/c4e93a6b-6dfd-4d8e-93ca-b7d170461887 and inspect output

Ubuntu is officially pasing out the old comercial store (paid deb's)

Bharadwaj Raju

15:33

In favor of paid snaps? :P

user139252

@Zacharee1 Alright, ran the script, says scales has started

Zacharee1

OK

cd /srv/scales

and sudo ./scales stop

user139252

Changed the ports in the config

Mateo

@BharadwajRaju yep :)

Zacharee1

OK. You also need to change the URL to pp.x-p-w.tk @TheBrownOne

As in, put pp. before it

user139252

15:35

done

Mateo

I guess anyone that tried the store will see an email

user139252

Both URLs, right?

Zacharee1

@TheBrownOne yep

Mateo

don't see a site post yet

Zacharee1

now, ./scales start

user139252

15:36

scales has started

Zacharee1

I sees it

Now I'm going to make a new server

How much RAM should I allow?

user139252

This box has 4GB, but my start.sh for spigot is only configured to use 1

Mateo

> In order to make it a good and consistent experience for users
and developers, we will be phasing out the existing commercial
Ubuntu Software Center store (which uses debs). The main Ubuntu
archives will of course continue to work, but commercial apps
should all be delivered as snaps.

Zacharee1

@TheBrownOne I'll do 1GB for now then

Spigot 1.9.4? @TheBrownOne

user139252

Yessir.

Zacharee1

15:38

kk

@TheBrownOne OK, look for a pp-stem-* folder under /home

look at the directory structure and then do your symlinking

user139252

It's there

Zacharee1

Server files need to be under public/

user139252

Alright, do I need to rename my .jar file to server.jar?

Zacharee1

no

I made the exec spigot-1.9.4.jar

user139252

Alright

user139252

15:42

Link is made, then

Zacharee1

starting

Lots of errors. Do you have perms set?

user139252

Sorry, link was owned by root

user139252

Should be good now

Zacharee1

target files need to have access too

OK it looks like it's working

user139252

Should all be owned the right user, now.

user139252

15:47

So, now what?

Zacharee1

it started

Can't seem to connect

you have 25565 forwarded?

user139252

I should...

user139252

Oh wait, do I need to start my server?

Zacharee1

no I did

jokerdino

Minecraft?

Zacharee1

15:48

you manage it from the server manager now

@jokerdino yesh

user139252

What hostname are you connecting with?

Zacharee1

@TheBrownOne the node one: mc.browntech.space

user139252

Let me switch from my AWS tunnel to my home tunnel

user139252

Yeah, it's forwarded...

I have a small problem. I have two accounts on a PC.

15:50

Let me see if it's an iptables issue

@Zacharee1 try again?

still refusing

user139252

I just did the worst thing ever and iptables -I INPUT -j ACCEPT

user139252

Should work.

might be something here

oh

what's the local IP?

user139252

15:54

For my MC server?

user139252

Zacharee1

yeah

user139252

Did that work?

Zacharee1

There's something wrong with the panel or Scales

can you restart Scales?

user139252

Done.

Zacharee1

15:58
