@Serg uses PlebFox
 
12:04 AM
same, 48
 
I have 8k rep and I still can't ask questions :p
 
@Zacharee1 take lessons from Panda. He has over 400 questions
i think . . .
 
He has a lot for sure
 
554 to be exact
 
Want to hear a funny story?
 
12:11 AM
@TheXed just tell, don't ask
 
@Serg well maybe with that attitude I won't tell :-P
 
O_o I haz attitudez ?
 
yesssssss
 
oh, jeez , Scoobs
 
zoinks**
 
12:14 AM
Okay here it is...
So my sister in law has been living in my basement for the last 8 months or so..
and her bedroom is right under my living room...
the other day I made a internet radio streaming device with one of my rpi's...
and if it loses power for some reason the last radio station will start playing after it turns back on...
and there are big speakers hooked up to it...
well apparently exactly that happened last night...
and she freaked out and ran up stairs and woke me up...
and told me the tv was freaking out...
because she knew nothing about it...
it was like 4 in the morning
 
Lol , i can imagine her horror
 
lol
 
"We haz dee-mons "
 
the risks of living with a Linuxer
 
before she came up...she sent me a text to tell me to turn down the tv...
then she came up to find nobody watching tv, and the tv wasn't even on...
I was like why did you assume it was me watching tv at 4 in the morning?
 
12:19 AM
rich turner is legit though, i think he is one of the PMs in charge of WSL
and he wants to provide support for WSL in AU?
 
@edwinksl why not...it is Ubuntu...kind of...
 
We do support Bash on Windows
 
i don't think we have a consensus, do we
 
we have meta post about that somewhere
 
I thought it was decided by the mods
 
12:22 AM
oh is it? link plz
 
meanwhile he seems to keep answering all those questions and spamming front page :/
 
hmm

Q: Do we consider "Ubuntu on Windows 10" the same as an official Ubuntu flavour? Do we support it? To what extent?

kosAs many will have heard of, Microsoft will distribute a stock Ubuntu installation to be run on Windows 10. Source. Someone has made the point that being this the result of a partnership with Canonical, questions about it should be supported. Per the Help Center: Questions that you may ask: ...

 
hardly definitive
also no inputs from le diamonds
 
yeah...
 
12:26 AM
@edwinksl well, basic answer is "yes, Ubuntu on Windows is on-topic"
 
hmmmm
this is getting fun:
 
@Zacharee1 nice pic
 
hey wait...does that mean powershell will be on topic?
 
uh no...?
 
@Zacharee1 to dark...but nice bokeh...
 
12:29 AM
@TheXed I can lighten it
 
@Zacharee1 why not?
I mean on powershell...
 
@TheXed because Bash on Windows is an Ubuntu product. Powershell is still MS
unless I'm missing something
 
@Zacharee1 have you not heard? powershell is now open source and available on linux?
 
wat
great...
I'd say we follow the guidelines in the Help Center then
> Running third-party applications on Ubuntu.
 
@TheXed OK , but ew . . .
 
@Serg I never said it was a good idea...
 
If the question is about getting it to work on Ubuntu, it's fine
But if the question is about how to use it, I think that's OT
 
@Zacharee1 it might get into 50 shades of gray area . . . because questions about how to use bash technically belong on stackoverflow ,but we still support 'em.
 
@Serg we support programming in Bash, but I think that's a special case
and it has to be on Ubuntu of course
@TheXed how's this:
 
I am just saying if Bash on Windows is fair game, then so should Powershell on Ubuntu.
 
12:38 AM
:p
 
@Zacharee1 it's a special case , but it extends also to other shells , like ksh and csh and tcsh,and those don't even come by default with Ubuntu.
 
i don't see why powershell scripting should be on-topic here
 
@Zacharee1 better, but when I click to make the picture bigger it gets blocked by the web filter lol...
 
@TheXed like I said above, I'm pretty sure Bash is a special case, and it's only acceptable if it's Ubuntu. Since Bash on Windows is also a Canonical product (sort of), that should mean it's on topic
 
it doesn't ship with ubuntu
 
12:38 AM
@TheXed lol
 
@edwinksl technology Bash doesn't ship on Windows either...
 
@TheXed yeah, but we don't support Windows normally, and BoW is a Canonical product
 
but bash ships with WSL
if we support WSL, then we support bash scripting in WSL
 
@Zacharee1 but nobody says we have to support every Canonical product?
 
@TheXed actually...
> Services provided by Ubuntu and Canonical.
 
12:41 AM
Okay then it should be askubuntuandcanonical.com...
 
lol
 
@TheXed but long URLs are never visited
askuc.com?
 
Okay fine...askcanonical.com
 
that would suggest we are employed ($$$) by canonical
 
12:42 AM
TO META
@NathanOsman we're going to change the URL to askcanonical.com
 
TO META WE GO
 
I would be glad to be employed by Canonical
 
@edwinksl we aren't? its no wonder I never received a check!
 
@TheXed i got mine though!
jk
 
Let's hold Marco hostage until they hire us! :D
 
12:43 AM
I did get a nice little askubuntu shirt and some stickers once though...
 
j/k, of course.
 
@NathanOsman or are you O_0
 
SUSE apparently did like that im Ubuntu fanboy, so they didn't employ me
 
@Serg they did so they didn't employ you?
 
@Zacharee1 it happens...it will be alright...
 
12:45 AM
@Zacharee1 well some time ago i applied for internship with suse in China, for the lulz tho
 
But they liked that you liked Ubuntu o they didn't employ you?
 
I want to be the VP of "cloud operations" - whatever that is.
 
I want to be the President of antique technology restoration....
 
@Zacharee1 no idea. i didn't even hear from them after i submitted my application
 
heh
 
12:47 AM
@Serg I applied a few years ago, even had a couple interviews, but no.
I would have been on the Unity team.
 
@NathanOsman if you work for the Unity team I will be forced to severe all ties with you.
 
@TheXed Don't worry, I don't :P
 
Who is to say its not in your future though...
 
Soon I'll probably go to downtown and sit on the sidewalk with a sign saying "Will write bash and python scripts for food"
 
@Serg don't forget powershell...
 
12:49 AM
@TheXed i never knew powershell , so i don't have to forget it :p
 
WHy would you forget it?
 
@Serg or maybe we should get paid at a rate of $5 per 1 rep
 
Wait...am I supposed to like this Rich Turner guy?
 
@edwinksl with that rate i'd make 140,000 $ already.
Heck, i wouldn't mind 5 cent per 1 rep
 
@edwinksl in how long?
Because in 6 years I would only have made 49k...
which I make that in my day job...a year...
 
12:55 AM
@TheXed but since you do this in your free time anyway...
 
@Zacharee1 right...but I guess if I made money doing it it could be a job...
 
you'd be pretty far below the povety line, so you could probably get wellfare :p
 
$ wcalc 49000/6
 = 8166.67
 
@Zacharee1 No I mean imagine if I did this full time...
 
Hey, that's extra 8k per year
 
12:57 AM
@TheXed exactly
 
@Serg 30% Goes to Obama/Trump/Clinton...
 
@TheXed TRUMP TURMP TURMRP TURMPR
 
@TheXed well, still some extra money.
 
@Zacharee1 I wasn't trying to start a debate about who should be the most lame person in the world...
 
The Republicans could have run a toaster against Hillary and won. But they had to pick the only person on the planet worse than her...
 
12:59 AM
But I am writing in Snoopy...
 
@TheXed TRUMPT RURMPT TURMRPT TURMPT RUTMP
 
@Zacharee1 TURNIP

@NathanOsman TURMRPTURMR<TP
 
AFK.
 
uh , catnip for president , 2016 ?
 
1:00 AM
He turned up all right....right in time to "make America great again"
 
someone did it
@TheXed to make america great again again
 
@Serg catnip could probably do as good of a job as either of these people...
 
what have I found O_O
 
@TheXed the cat population of the US would actually like it
 
And I am a cat owner...
So if my cat is happy I am happy...
 
1:02 AM
when people make fake meth advisories with catnip
 
i'm . . . slightly confused as to what's going on with my github . . .
 
@TheXed and vise versa
@Serg wat do
 
Well time for me to oack up and go home...
it was real, and it was fun...real fun...
 
we need a catnip room
 
1:16 AM
ducking ducker duck
 
wat
 
just one of those moments when i wish i saved my money and used it to get a "nanodegree", or some certification", or whatever else
 
heheh why
 
because . . . at least i could have put my money into TEFL certification, and go teach Ingles in China. . . . their certification is like 250 $. At the beginning of the summer I had 500 $. End result is that I paid for car insurance and send money to grandmother back in Ukraine . . .
I've 100$ left
and mad parents . . .
 
start a GoFundMe
 
1:23 AM
My bitcoinz!
 
@NathanOsman did your bitcoins get stolen too ?
 
No.
I don't have any.
 
1:35 AM
Hi
Anyone here know anything about flashing roms on an android?
 
A little bit.
 
Im trying to replace the rom on an old phone...
 
2:04 AM
WHo are we funding and why?
 
@TheXed Zach proposed that i start gofundme campaign to raise money so that i can get money to get TELF certified and go to China teach English
One of the guys i know did that actually. He raised money for his trip to China
 
@Serg how much does that cost?
I mean just the cert...
 
250$ for the course
I'm not really going to start a gofundme campaign
 
do you have to take a test to get the cert then?
 
probably
 
2:10 AM
So that would be like another 250-300...
It irks me that money becomes a barrier to people that want to legitimitly improve their qaulity of life...
 
It always has been a barrier
 
It still irks me...
if you did start a gofundme though I would make an honest effort to convince my wife that we need to support you though...
 
eh, don't pay attention guys, I'm just thinkingg out loud. It's not a very legitimate reason for a campaign.
 
I am just saying...out loud that I would support you...
lol I just logged into Rust...
and I am legitimtly scared...
There are all these people on the beach...
and they are fighting...
and it is night time...
can't see anything...
 
3:10 AM
@SQuirel what phone? The process changes pretty drastically from model to model
what does everyone think?

Q: Boot once into non-GUI mode on systemd

MelabI have a Ubuntu 16.04 installation. It is running in a virtual machine and this can cause my laptop to get on depending on what I am doing. I want to know how to boot into a non-graphical multi-user mode WITH networking. I've seen systemctl set-default multiuser.target but that is a persistent...

 
3:25 AM
So you all know the game Minecraft right?
Well Telltale Games is making a Story Mode series for it (I think Episode 7 was just released). It's a game where you choose some prompts and have some decisions, but it's mostly animation and voice acting.
But now someone's recreated Story Mode Episode 2 in Minecraft
So a game based on Minecraft now has a game in Minecraft based off it
Well that was more unexpected than usual:
 
@Zacharee1 sigh
You mean Minecraft: Story Mode?
 
i have not played minecraft in forever
 
me neither
sigh
 
@Serg I should teach you to play SkyWars
 
Im beast at skywars
 
3:33 AM
surrrre
 
.....
But I just slipped out of minecraft
Too kiddish
When I accidentally crash a server people whine
 
@Zacharee1 sounds familiar. Hunger Games + Starwars mashup ? i remember there was a server for that
 
Hypixel
You start on an island over the void
other people/teams on other islands
 
mostly i would hangout on Blockville. You know that one ?
 
all in a ring around a center island
you have chests on your island where you get items armour weapons etc
@Serg not sure
 
3:38 AM
skywars?
 
yes
 
what is skywars?
 
@Zacharee1 i think that's exactly what my friend's son was trying to get me interested in. i played a few times, but as usually - suck at games
 
heh
@TheXed MC PVP minigame
Look it up: skywars hypixel

It's fuging annoying
 
5:59 AM
@NathanOsman Beautiful sir.
 
Well, I do my best :D
 
6:10 AM
@NathanOsman while we're still on topic
 
That is very disturbing.
@RPiAwesomeness queeeeeestion: what brand do you recommend for an entry-level DSLR?
@Zacharee1 you might be able to help with this too ---^
 
I would get other opinions, I'm not really knowledgable in terms of different brands/models, but the T3i is a pretty good entry level
That's about all I know xD
 
Well, that's still more than I know.
 
@Serg The question is, why on earth are all these idiots filming their cats puking on carpet inside? o_O
 
@RPiAwesomeness why do people film people fight without pulling those people apart ?
 
6:16 AM
For points on the Interwebz, I assume.
 
@Serg Because that's a stupid thing to do, and because they're also stupid :P
 
Grr... you Americans are having a big sale over on bestbuy.com but did they decide to do the same up north here? Nope.
 
probably your Canadian sales are OK , so no need to boost them with sales. Or maybe there's not too many things in stock, so no need to get rid of them via sales
and i just overused the word sales
That's what listening to Indian hip-hop does to you
 
6:35 AM
morning
 
Meowning
 
I think i found it finally
the alternative of sudo service lightdm restart is systemctl stop user-121.slice
where user 121 is the lightdm user. It seems the display managers are now started on behalf of separate users, instead of previous approach of using root
that's why sudo kill -9 -1 wasn't working to kill X and all
 
Not really , there used to be lightdm users in past
 
I'm not sure actually who used to start display managers in past. it could be lightdm also.
sorry for all these off-topic rant :D
 
totally on topic

"Know any other dangerous commands that new (and experienced) Linux users shouldn’t run? Leave a comment and share them!" o.0 cc @Serg
@Zanna can't you just vtc 'too broad'? Blacklisting all dangerous commands simply isn't possible.
Leave a comment: "use your common sense. If you're not sure what a command does, Google it first"
 
I could but this question comes up all the time and I'm frustrated that I can't find a good answer
the current comments are sufficient

Q: Why did the command ":(){ :|: & };:" make my system lag so badly I had to reboot?

blade19899 DANGER! Do not run this command to 'test' it unless you are prepared for a crash and/or force-rebooting your system. I was in my Virtualbox running 12.04 trying to compile an app, and while waiting I happened to chance upon a forum where a comment said: Try :(){ :|: & };: Fun, too...
