Bharadwaj Raju

@grooveplex I just had a edit review from you and I approved it

Same question too

@Edity what edit have you just proposed!

grooveplex

It keeps on failing

Edity

Good Nigh....

Bharadwaj Raju

It's directory not dictionary

Edity

what?

Bharadwaj Raju

Edity

Ok good night

grooveplex

Maybe because my newfound hobby "embedding images" is too repetitive and the system thinks: "Hey buddy, calm down"?

Bharadwaj Raju

Nope.

Hello buddies :D

I am not very much familiar with multiple user accounts.., so I need some help answering to this comment. (does having multiple accounts => multiple home partitions ?)

I have some question I have 2 users, userA and userB then userA have 1G space and userB have 1G space so I need increment sapce userA to 4G How can I do this? — Rayan_skofw 6 mins ago

what does this mean ? 👆 👆 👆

terdon

09:32

@SeverusTux Not necessarily. You could do it that way if you like (/home/userA is one partition and /home/userB another) but it seems a little silly to say the least. The OP might also have some kind of quota system in place. More likely, they're confused.

Bharadwaj Raju

@blade19899 I didn't see it in context (of the ChromeOS answer) :)

Yeah, when I read the question I wondered how the maintainer could have missed that

@terdon no functional difference in this case, IMO

terdon

@muru Yeah, I tried that damn it. Let me try again.

muru

And by default the table shows up after the initial wall of text

@terdon anyway, it's not like you need it. You're a full 120 points above the second guy :D

Byte Commander

@terdon @muru It worked for me after applying that other modification which should make the table show up at the top of the page and not at the bottom.

terdon

@muru True, but I can still be curious can't I? :P

muru

10:10

@ByteCommander it works even without that. The table position is just awkwardd

Byte Commander

Without this I could not see it either though.

muru

Strange

Byte Commander

(Firefox)

terdon

@ByteCommander What modification is that?

muru

in 2016 Ask Ubuntu Moderator Election, yesterday, by muru

var qstatus = document.querySelector('.post-text');
qstatus.insertBefore(table, qstatus.firstChild);

replace the document.querySelector('.question-status').appendChild(table) line with these

Byte Commander

10:12

Exactly. That line is somewhere close to the end of the script @terdon

terdon

Nope, no difference.

muru

@terdon Use noscript or something like that?

Byte Commander

Btw, is this answer of me valid enough to stay there or should I delete it and VTC the question as dupe of the second link. It is not an exact enough duplicate, I think, but the answer is basically link-only and if it wasn't mine I would probably flag it. Opinions? askubuntu.com/a/787261/367990

terdon

@muru Nope. And other user scripts work for for various SE sites. I have a few.

Byte Commander

@terdon Is Greasemonkey (or similar) installed and enabled, do you see that the script is active on the site?

muru

10:14

@terdon anything in the console?

terdon

@ByteCommander Nope. No greasemonkey (I think the chrome equiv is tampermonkey and I can't install it for some reason) it is also not needed. I do see the script as installed and activated in chrome://extensions/

@muru Nope. No errors, no mention of the script, no nothing.

Byte Commander

Hmm... No idea, I'm a Firefox fanboy.

I only use Chromium for sites that use an unhealthy amount of resource-hungry JS...

terdon

Weird. Doesn't work on google-chrome either.

@ByteCommander I go back and forth between the two every couple of years or so. I'll use one, get pissed off at it, switch to the other. Rinse, repeat.

Hi all

Sometimes I see these questions and I wonder why they were allowed on this site when they were posted, like this one askubuntu.com/q/187071/530811

It's over 4 years old, but nowadays these questions would be closed immediately, like did you even do research, and please elaborate on your question since it's kind of short.

The rules must have changed

This would be a bad quality question nowadays, rightly so

@grooveplex Not really. A lack of research was never a reason to close a question, it's a reason to downvote it.

blade19899

^That command does not display a file that is over 24 hours old?!

The file in question is - now - 26 hours old

Anybody know how to 'fix' it?

terdon

@blade19899 find /some/dir/ -mtime 1

   -atime n
          File  was  last  accessed n*24 hours ago.  When find figures out
          how many 24-hour periods ago the file  was  last  accessed,  any
          fractional part is ignored, so to match -atime +1, a file has to
          have been accessed at least two days ago.

Or, find . -mtime +0 which is probably what you want.

Is anyone here good with JS?

and JQuery

Rinzwind

I like javascript

Zacharee1

but are you good at it? :p

Rinzwind

I earn my living coding in JS

Zacharee1

well then I think you can help

:p

Rinzwind

12:28

still no qualification though ;-)

Zacharee1

you're probably better than I am

OK

jokerdino

Rinz lands a knocking punch.

Zacharee1

So I have this JQuery script that queries my server manager for some data. It then returns that data in the console log. I want to take just one piece of that data and display it on the web page. Currently, trying to show the raw data just gives me [Object object]

Here's the JQuery and such

                                        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",
                                            },

Let me get what it returns

Rinzwind

"Currently, trying to show the raw data just gives me [Object object]"

If that is the case you probably need to add a .value to the object.

Zacharee1

Hang on

I need to go slowly with this :p

The most I actually know how to do in JS are some alerts, prompts and if else statements

wrong thing

That's what I get back (terribly formatted). There are a few things missing, but I'm mostly interested in showing numplayers, players and whether or not the server is online (which I think is another query I need to run, so not relevant yet)

@jokerdino can you delete the Object {... message? I want to reformat it

thx

Object {status: 1, plugin: "BungeeCord", query: Object, proc: Object}
	plugin:"BungeeCord"

	proc:Object

	query:Object

	hostname:null

	map:null

	maxplayers:20

	numplayers:0

	players:Array[0]

	plugins:""

	time:1465993601988

	type:"minecraftping"

	version:"Spigot 1.9.4"

	__proto__:Object

	status:1

	__proto__:Object

OK. I need to display numplayers, players and status, but I have no idea how to interpret the data in JS

@Rinzwind is this possible without a whole lesson? :p

Rinzwind

12:39

sure :-)

terdon

You just need to use more JQ... oh, wait.

Zacharee1

how then? What function/keyword/class/etc do I need?

@terdon sigh

terdon

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Zacharee1

You'll be good as an AU mod :p

Rinzwind

BungeeCord is the object name ..
$( "#BungeeCord")[ 0 ]
gets you the 1st element

grooveplex

12:40

Does sudo cat /var/log/ufw.log | grep TCP | grep BLOCK | wc -w show how many times TCP was found in a BLOCK rule inside the ufw log?

Rinzwind

and I am not too familiar with jquery but this might work too...

$( "#BungeeCord")['numplayers' ];

Zacharee1

let's try it and see

idk how to display it though :/

i big n00b w/ js

Rinzwind

alert ( $( "#BungeeCord")['numplayers' ] ) ;
?

Zacharee1

oh

OK

Rinzwind

you claimed you know how to do alerts >:=D

Zacharee1

12:43

Well I forgot I can just print functions :p

Rinzwind

sure

Zacharee1

undefined

Rinzwind

and do you understand google's f12?

Zacharee1

And I know Arduino.... tsk tsk to me

@Rinzwind using it rn

Rinzwind

@Zacharee1 then you should be able to just point and click at the object? :-)

Zacharee1

12:44

@Rinzwind yeah, but I want it to show on the page instead of the console

Rinzwind

same thing >:-D

Zacharee1

idk what you mean then

The Dutchman is being weird again! (whiny voice)

Rinzwind

if you know what the object is and know its element ...
put it into a string with html tags and use innerHTML to put that string in a span

Zacharee1

?

seriously, noob

Rinzwind

lol

hmm

ok you have a object yes?

Zacharee1

12:47

this stuff returns a bunch of expandable data in the console log, but trying to display data just gives [Object object]

literal output

Rinzwind

and that is JS telling you you are looking at an object and not an element of that object

The most logical answer is that you need something behind it.

EXAMPLE:

Zacharee1

so then data is the object name

Rinzwind

$('test') will show [Object object] if you alert($('test'))

Zacharee1

yeah

Rinzwind

$('test').value will show the VALUE of test

Zacharee1

12:49

?

well let me test that out

Rinzwind

what lost you already?

Zacharee1

huh?

undefined

What about JSON.stringify(data)

Rinzwind

data will need to be an array

Zacharee1

I have raw data printed to the div now

So that's something

{"status":1,"plugin":"BungeeCord","query":{"hostname":null,"numplayers":0,"maxplayers":20,"map":null,"players":[],"plugins":"","version":"Spigot 1.9.4","type":"minecraftping","time":1465995112192},"proc":{"memory":2018476032,"memoryInfo":{"rss":2018476032,"vsize":43944729640960},"cpu":0,"cpuInfo":{"pcpu":0,"pcpuUser":0,"pcpuSystem":0,"cpuTime":0}}}

Rinzwind

ehm

that is json alright :=)

Zacharee1

12:54

yesh

and then I can use this right? developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/…

Rinzwind

var t = JSON.parse('{"status":1,"plugin":"BungeeCord","query":{"hostname":null,"numplayers":0,"maxplayers":20,"map":null,"players":[],"plugins":"","version":"Spigot 1.9.4","type":"minecraftping","time":1465995112192},"proc":{"memory":2018476032,"memoryInfo":{"rss":2018476032,"vsize":43944729640960},"cpu":0,"cpuInfo":{"pcpu":0,"pcpuUser":0,"pcpuSystem":0,"cpuTime":0}}}');
alert(t['numplayers']);

Zacharee1

ahh

Rinzwind

and done :=)

Zacharee1

might need help with something following this :p

But let me get this in first

Rinzwind

well if it is about maxplayers ...

alert(t['maxplayers']);

>:)

Zacharee1

12:56

no :p

I want to make it so if status is 1, then I have text saying Online in the div

and Offline if it's 0

Rinzwind

easy :=)

Zacharee1

And then I need the player list, but that I can probably figure out

Rinzwind

oh and an image is prettier (offline red alert and online green alert)

Zacharee1

yeah

'tis

Rinzwind

<span id=alert>...<span>

and

$('alert').innerTEXT='offline'
Or
$('alert').innerHTML='<img ...>';

and set it with the status you need
