@ByteCommander How's this :

>>> x=1
>>> while math.pow(1.5,x) <= 100 :
...      print int(math.pow(1.5,x))
...      x+=1

Right, but anyway, I think I am going to make a doctor's appointment about the possibility of me having worms from kissing too many pugs and being kissed back by too many of them at the same time... :D And now having a very odd increased hunger that doesn't seem to be stopped by actually eating food...

nah

@ByteCommander I'm gonna deal with percentages, so lets limit range from 1 to 100

@Serg Better, but I'd prefer base 1.35 :)

And max_brightness needs to be parsed from /sys/class...

@ByteCommander no need for that, we can use dbus to just deal with percentages

We can?

9:10 PM

yes

but I think operating on direct point values would be better...

yup, but it would require root power

and i don't want that

:-/

You might have a good argument there.

this is interesting but may take time to figure out

close as unclear and maybe bash this answer which seems not to fit askubuntu.com/q/806771/367990

So does dbus take integer or float percentages there @Serg?

9:17 PM

@ByteCommander integers only. I'll give you a function in a sec

Okay.

I wonder if those percentages will give me the precision I want in the lower range of brightness values.

@ByteCommander Here ,

@ThatBrazilianGuy yes you can

qdbus org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Power /org/gnome/SettingsDaemon/Power org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Power.Screen.SetPercentage $INT

thanks, testing

@ByteCommander problem with brightness is that a lot of things depend on graphics card. So , AMD for example gives me bigger steps, but intel has smaller steps. It's just really tricky topic

9:35 PM

Seriously, when are they going to make Firefox 48 available? It was released this morning...

$ cat bright.sh
#!/bin/bash

i=1
bri=1
while test $bri -lt 100 ; do
   i=$(bc <<< "$i+1")
   bri=$(bc <<< "1.35^$i/1")
   test $bri -gt 100 && bri=100
   qdbus org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Power /org/gnome/SettingsDaemon/Power org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Power.Screen.SetPercentage $bri
   sleep 2
done

@Serg Made this script to see the steps visualized, but they are not optimal yet...

We should design a formula that takes in how many steps we want to have and a value to make the curve more or less steep. But it always should correctly end at 100, rounding down to 100 if the value is bigger makes the last step look odd.

>>> x=1
>>> my_list = []
>>> while math.pow(1.25,x) <= 100:
...       val = int(math.pow(1.25,x))
...       if val not in my_list:
...          my_list.append(val)
...       x+=1
...
>>> print my_list
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, 14, 18, 22, 28, 35, 44, 55, 69, 86]

@ByteCommander look at this

what's with the numbers?

@Zacharee1 we're science'ing here

uh huh

9:43 PM

@Zacharee1 rocket launch codes. Don't tell anybody.

lol

@ParanoidPanda this ppa seems to have it launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-security/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

@Serg Why u math.pow(1.25, x) instead of 1.25**x ?

@ByteCommander because I come from C background

OT askubuntu.com/questions/806797/whois-domain-privacy

9:45 PM

Stupid C.

also because i am no python expert , so shuddup everybody

@ByteCommander you did not just say that

takes out rocket launcher

Lol

changes launch codes quickly

Isn't a lot of Ubuntu written in C++?

sure it is.

9:46 PM

Yeah, Unity for example is C++ , I has ze sorze codez

so when you dis C you dis your favorite OS

C language is powerful because it's close to the hardware, but that does not mean it's syntactically beautiful.

Arduino is pretty

eh, all the languages have issues

Serg should make python script to launch brute force attack on this rocket launcher

Assembly language is becoming more popular now

9:48 PM

Btw, how many NSA agents are probably monitoring us now that we mentioned rocket launchers etc. 4 times? Any bets?

@ByteCommander let's see... 10000000

hai @NSA

Hey Uncle NSA officer! Nothing to worry here, we're just kidding :)

we ain't hackers at all

@ByteCommander many probably . I know people're recording my phone calls back to Ukraine, their recording system failed bunch of times , and played back the things my grandmother said back to me lol many times

o.O

9:50 PM

kid+ding

That can't be NSA though.

@Serg that's something called lag

I get that a lot with my phone in low service areas

Sounds more like [not sure which third world country to insert here]'s "secret" service...

@Zacharee1 It's not lag , when it plays back to me each sentence my grandmother said in the last 1.5 minutes

oh

that far back o_O

9:51 PM

Lol

And we all are on NSA watchlist anyway, because Linux

yep

so hax0r

1337

d0g3

gg linux

9:52 PM

1337 h4xx0r d0g3

wow

@Serg Maybe Ukrainian nuclear physicians have developed a time machine in a bunker below your grandma's house?

most definitely

why is my browser saying this page is not secure :O

@Serg can you help me with the script more (as in write it for me :P)?

@CodeX because it's HTTP

Or the Doctor was visiting her and the TARDIS caused some time interferences...

9:54 PM

@Zacharee1 no it is HTTPS

whoa, HTTPS

@ByteCommander Could be. Actually, as far as my hometown is concerned , they used to have lots of Manganese ore and mines there. In 2008 when i came back, i think all the radiation was affecting me so much, that i would get like 2 or 3 deja vu in my mind per day.

I was really WTF'ing for like a week and half there before i got used to it

Manganese is radioactive? o.O

@CodeX it's because SE hasn't fully moved over to supporting HTTPS. You can connect, but a lot of things are still HTTP

@Zacharee1 Sure, I can

9:54 PM

checking periodic table again...

@ByteCommander lol

@ByteCommander I don't know . . . probably not . . . But we also have electro station not too far from my town , it's like a few miles. By Denver's standard, not too far

anything can be radioactive...

@Zacharee1 yeah it sends mix content .. but still browser never shows website is not secure

There are no natural radioactive Mn isotopes.

9:56 PM

@CodeX because the connection is secure. There are just elements that aren't. Your browser only yells at you when the certificate is invalid

Two purely synthetic isotopes can be radioactive though.

@ByteCommander they MADE one

exactly :p

I guess the amount of NSA eyes on us just doubled now that we added radioactivity to our topics xD

@Zacharee1 nope something is wrong

no...

9:57 PM

@ByteCommander wait till we tart talking about tor and onion nodes

@ByteCommander what about radioactive launch codes? :D

*start

@Serg can I have those back?

THANKS SERG

now nsa is really coming

a code can hardly be radioactive as it's just a piece of information and not matter...

9:58 PM

@Zacharee1 onion nodes ? or onion rings ?

@ByteCommander you don't seem to pick up on sarcasm. Maybe you need a sarcometer

2

@Serg both would be nice

:p

@Zacharee1 Sorry, I only have a give-a-fuck-o-meter...

user image

2

sigh

@Serg scriptz? I'm going to ask a question about it, in case rep can entice you :p

@Zacharee1 give me path to servers folder and plugins folder again

Plugins is /home/Servers/PLUGINS/

10:01 PM

script ?

user image

Servers plugins are under /home/Servers/<Servername>/public/plugins/

@Zacharee1 so we want to know which plugins are not there, and what else ?

That's it. I just need to know which plugins I have in the PLUGINS folder that aren't anywhere else

But I do have another script need if you want :p

Awww, I just got an invitation to the Summerbreeze festival starting at August 17, but I can't go... :´-(

what's that?

10:08 PM

2-3 more hours...

then I might get ot go home

user image

@Zacharee1 that aren't anywhere else . . . . In other words, that plugin must be not found in any /home/Servers/<Servername>/public/plugins/ . Correct ?

yeah

What if /home/Servers/Blah/public/plugins/ has plugin_blah , but /home/Servers/Bleh/public/plugins/ doesn't have it ?

Ignore it.

10:10 PM

OK . . . so only find those that are missing

I do have a few more specific plugins in one server folder, but that's it

got it

yep

working on it

@Zacharee1 A German rock/metal festival from 17th-20th August summer-breeze.de/en/bands/index.html

10:11 PM

oh hmm

can someone fix my pi?

@ByteCommander ah

@TheXed get some blueberries

I prefer banana creme...or chocolate creme

A friend of me goes there with a bunch of others and now they have a ticket left as someone had to decline.

@CodeX I understand the logic, but I have never gotten the syntex right.

10:12 PM

@ByteCommander :/

This would be such a great opportunaty, but I can't...

@TheXed maybe because you spelled while wrong..like syntax ? :P

@CodeX wouldn't doubt it.

@Zacharee1 Why would anybody want more than 60 FPS?

@ByteCommander if they have a 144Hz monitor, but then Ubuntu would adjust.

10:15 PM

They could not see a difference anyway.

exactly

The human eye is able to differentiate about 10-20 pictures per second IIRC. Probably it was 12 or 14.

24

is what they decided was good enough to not see

Sure? Hmm... Close enough.

Maybe you're right.

Linux Users Reporting Windows 10 Anniversary Update Hoses Their Dual Boot Partitions hothardware.com/news/…

10:16 PM

@ByteCommander it's the original film framerate

@CodeX on the star wall already

7 hours ago, by Mateo

Haha: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/08/windows-10-anniversary-update-delete-partitio‌n

xD

@ByteCommander oh I didn't see that ..mine worked fine

I just remembered that I was about to write an epic security answer again...

returning back to that...

10:18 PM

@ByteCommander tell when it's done so I can DV

Wait until tomorrow, I have all my points for today already collected

@ByteCommander exactly, DV

But you can remind me in 1h to go and watch Doctor Who.

user136984

Love this! :D

user136984

Iron maiden - The Pilgrim

10:20 PM

@ByteCommander new episodes?!

I prefer the Trooper IIRC.

@Zacharee1 test me this

find /home/Servers -path "*/public/plugins/*"

TV reporter mistake GTA 4 cheat codes for secret military codes thenextweb.com/video/2016/08/03/gta-cheat-military-codes xD

dammit

@Serg doesn't match anything because it ends with /

10:21 PM

No, from 2013

@Zacharee1 i edited it

@Serg shall I pastebin?

Doctor Who 2005, Season 7, Episode 7: "The rings of Akathen" tv.com/shows/doctor-who-2005/the-rings-of-akhaten-2640436

@ByteCommander aww

@Zacharee1 yeah

10:22 PM

kk

I started with the new season 5 with Matt Smith as 11th Doctor.

Mr Robot 2016 Season 2 Episode 4 http:// no links . com

@Serg how do I save output to a file? >> file.txt?

@Zacharee1 single >

thx

o_O askubuntu.com/questions/806808/…

10:27 PM

Back to the future...

@Serg had a little trouble copying from PuTTY pastebin.com/aAW7RebX

@ByteCommander lol

Or the Doctor visited again.

hohoho

No, that was Santa.

sigh

bowties are cool

user136984

10:29 PM

This is a fun song:

user136984

Iron Maiden- Doctor Doctor

user image

@Zacharee1 so each folder is a plugin ?

no

some plugins create folders for config and such

only the .jar files are plugins

ah . . . sense makes it

user136984

10:32 PM

Washington transport officer charged with aiding Islamic State

user136984

Anyway, goodnight! :)

@ParanoidPanda that's how you say goodnight?

Hmm... The more I think about it, the more this answer is going to be a lazy one instead of an epic one... :-/

@ByteCommander that'll get the most points and you know it

shrug

10:43 PM

@Zacharee1 paste.ubuntu.com/22093573

Czech it out

@Zacharee1 Speaking of bowties... askubuntu.com/q/806811/367990

@Serg I think it's missing something. All plugins came back not found

Except the ones that don't exist anywhere

so it's like it's reversed

yeah it looks like you made it return ones that are on the ACTIVE list

@Zacharee1 Oo, wait.....i know .....it needs basename

it is searching for full path

duuuuh

ah

:p

@Zacharee1 paste.ubuntu.com/22094780

try now

10:55 PM

evening!

yay!

hmm

Advanced_Portals exists though

@Zacharee1 exists where ? which server ?

Main

hmmm, true

what about others ?

they don't seem to

Does it have something to do with the underscore maybe?

11:02 PM

@Zacharee1 are both plugin and the symlink spelled properly ?

( no offence )

aha

do I need to set up "make" to recognize .c files and compile them with gcc?

The original is Advanded lol

that was it :p

Well, there you go, Zach ! In addition to help you figure out your plugins thingy, i also fixed spelling . . . .that was a good day

I mean, I'm following a tutorial @Serg recommended, and he uses 'make' to compile, but running make with a ex1.c file returns
*make: *** No rule to make target 'ex1'. Stop.*

11:04 PM

@Serg lol

oh, I think I found a question here

@IanC I think make wants makefile script to exist in same folder

@Serg zach is annoying amirite

Well it seems to work now. Should I ask a question on SO?

@edwinksl oi m8

:)

11:04 PM

@Serg it's because in the tutorial it works without a makefile, thought it would work here too

@Zacharee1 no need to ask the question , consider it my way of repaying you for making all those icons for me in the past :)

:D

would another script be in for future icons? :p

Since I've learned to make app indicators, probably in the future there will be more icon requests, so that's a yes

yay

this idea is a bit more complex though

since some of these plugins have version numbers in the name (and I keep forgetting to take them out), it causes an issue when I update them

I usually end up renaming them to the old version, but that's not a very good method

@Serg My bad! I just made a typo, 'make' recognized the c file and compiled it

11:09 PM

Is it possible to, when I copy plugin_x.x.jar into the PLUGINS folder then run the script, have it see if there are matching names, then delete the older file and symlinks and symlink the newer file to where the deleted symlinks were?

For instance Viaversion

the file names are always Viaversion_x.y.z.jar

x.y.x being the version

Um . . . .probably possible . . . .

So a script that checks to see if there's, say, a Viaversion_0.9.4.jar and a Viaversion 0.9.5.jar, then delete the file that was created earlier (0.9.4), search for its symlinks (they'll have the same name), delete them, then symlink the newer file (0.9.5) to where the 0.9.4 symlinks were.

Pretty complex, at least to me :p

If you don't want to do it, I can keep renaming and stuff

@Zacharee1 i would do it like this : save the new file in some other folder first. Then run script that will delete old plugin in /home/Servers/PLUGINS . . . . , once that done - shove the new plugin into that directory. As for symlinks , it's probably a simple for loop over each script directory

over each *server directory

OK

my brain goes derp

11:14 PM

lol

That makes more sense :p

/home/Servers/BungeeCord/public/plugins/SpongePls/config.yml/home/Servers/Main/public/plugins/Original-Double-Jump.jar

?

This one could be an issuse . . .it' in subdirectories, not in /public/plugins/ folder

the config?

That's not one path there

yml is YAML, a file format

Okay, Doctor Who time. Then completing the answer, then going to bed.

BBL

11:30 PM

@Zacharee1 so is it OK , if I only deal with /public/plugins/ folder on all servers ?

Also . . . is OP here stooped ? stackoverflow.com/q/12897374/3701431

He says his code didn't work, but exactly the same syntax works for me

@Serg the only plugins I care about are the ones under /public/plugins

Like I said before, that path you have above is glitched or something

because config.yml is a file not a folder

@Serg, you know why sometimes the last decimal of a float can be unnacurate on C? Like, I multiplied an 'int' (100) with a 'double' (1.2) and my result, stored on a 'double' was (120.000008)

@Zacharee1 nvm, i copy pasted your pastebin twice, last and first line got joined

@IanC that's not inaccurate, that's the small problems with how computers work

If you know how IEEE 754 floating point standard works, you know that not all values are properly represented

I'll look the standard up, but just so I sort something out, will the representation be the same on 2 different computers?

because in the example output, it seems to be all 0's, guess it would be mentioned if it showed an different last digit

Hmmm , likely yes. All Arithmetic-Logic units on CPUs must conform to that standard . . . or at least that's what i know . . . maybe in reality different computer companies do it differently

@IanC basically IEEE-745 stores everything in 32 or 16 bit long registers. First bit is sign bit, next 8 bits are power, and the rest is fraction , like 0.1234 . Computer always adds 1 to that fraction. So it really is 1.1234 * 2^power

Play with this guy

h-schmidt.net/FloatConverter/IEEE754.html

Oh, and the power thingy is really weird

so , if you have 0000 0010 , it is 2^(-125) . . . why? because we have in binary 0000 00010 is 2 , and that's 2-127 I think . . .

11:49 PM

@Serg That's from 2012 though. Maybe something changed?

@Serg Nice! That's definitely not how I imagined floats were stored

@Zacharee1 Like what ?

@IanC if you play enough with that thing, you can see that some values are reported different from what calculation should be. Especially for small values . So yeah, floats are a peculiar subject
