I'm back!

@IanC o/

I think the beef I made expired 2 days ago

@ByteCommander Can you test this quick script then?

weather ()
{
declare -a WEATHERARRAY
mapfile -t WEATHERARRAY < <(lynx -dump "http://wxdata.weather.com/wxdata/weather/local/<german ZIP>:4:GM?cc=*&unit=f&dayf=1" | xmlstarlet sel -T -t -m "/weather/cc" -c "tmp" -n -c "flik" -n -c "t" -n) ;
echo -ne "Today:" ${WEATHERARRAY[2]} "-" ${WEATHERARRAY[0]}"º" "Feels Like:" ${WEATHERARRAY[1]}"º"
}

weather

You need to install xmlstarlet

sudo apt install xmlstarlet

Oh, and it needs lynx as well

or use curl instead of lynx

bytecommander@BC-AlkaliMetal:~$ weather
Today: Clear - 62º Feels Like: 62ºbytecommander@BC-AlkaliMetal:~$

11:07 PM

It worked

curl works too. I need to suppress its output

Darn, I can't see how to suppress the headers from the curl

@ByteCommander answer posted, a little funky, but workable. I might edit it later, but depends on my schedule.

@Serg And what about 7-16?

> If it is before 7 , the brightness will be set to 25%. If it is 16 - 22 , the brightness will be 50%. If it is after 22, you will have 75% brightness.

Also, this looks wrong:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
from __future__ import print_function

@ByteCommander It's basically 7 - 16 will be 0.5

@ByteCommander that's protection from idiots who try to run python3 code with python3

@Serg but you said that for 16-22

@ByteCommander I got the sunrise and sunset thing to work. =)

11:19 PM

@ByteCommander typo

Well, post/correct your answers, I'll review and test them tomorrow.

i think that once i hit 31.5k, i'm going to put out three +500 bounties.

Correction "python2 code with python3"

sun ()
{
declare -a WEATHERARRAY
mapfile -t WEATHERARRAY < <(lynx -dump "http://wxdata.weather.com/wxdata/weather/local/<german ZIP>:4:GM?cc=*&unit=f&dayf=1" | xmlstarlet sel -T -t -m "/weather/loc" -n -c "sunr" -n -c "suns" -n) ;
echo -ne "Sunrise:" ${WEATHERARRAY[1]} "Sunset:" ${WEATHERARRAY[2]}
}

sun

@ByteCommander the idea is that it checks value in config file <= current time

11:22 PM

@KazWolfe the internet will never forget you said this

@edwinksl then the internet will see

Q: Dell XPS 15 Microdia Webcam shows up eventually

I have a Dell XPS 15 L521X. Years ago I was running Ubuntu on it, and the Webcam worked. Then I upgraded and it stopped working, and I've never been able to get it working again. If I look at the output of lsusb, nothing is detected. mike@longshot ~⭐ lsusb Bus 002 Device 003: ID 8087:07dc Inte...

ubuntu arch-linux camera

hello

11:37 PM

GUH

so tired

need to study for test

test on what?

history

idk what the tests are like yet

history of what?

US

textbook or book books?

11:40 PM

textbook

you'll do fine

we don't go over anything in class though

what do you do in class?

our teacher loves to talk about random things and let us out 5+ minutes late, which is when the next class starts

on Thursdays I have to walk to the other end of a probably quarter mile campus after the class

ouch. sounds bad. but you're good at detail. if you've read the book, you'll do fine.

11:42 PM

we'll see..

Let's see: Brits lost, North won, Dewey lost, Vietnam. That covers it.

heh

What did Benjamin Franklin do that was so important

Does that refer to him being a Founding Father?

@chaskes nice summary

almost time to get @MarkKirby to 10k

newspapers, women, went to England, moral voice of constitutional convention.

11:45 PM

@ByteCommander changed a few things , now the config file uses range

We're only up to mid 1700s

I think

@edwinksl Those comments on the gmail/firefox question were a pretty wild ride

wut

@chaskes heh yeah

@Zacharee1 so scientific revolution and all that good stuff?

idk

I'm so tired :(

I think I'm actually getting sick

I only ever get colds or headaches: none of the stuff that can keep me out of class

11:48 PM

Franklin is very important for hist of sci/tech in US

dammit, something broke

although I did manage to get out twice in the past two years because my cold lasted all week, leading to a 100F fever

@Serg snap

@Zacharee1 go play some MC then

hmm

tempting

the 1.11 snapshot just came out and there are some really cool new features :p

or, you know, fix people's AMDs here

or, even better, do your 20 in 10 minutes' time

11:50 PM

yeah

@Zacharee1 Every time someone uses imperial units, a kitten dies.

waiting on that

@ByteCommander Or I die from a 100F fever :p

Fixed

@Serg unsnap

OK, i'm not touching the code until tomorrow probably

11:51 PM

@Serg can you take my test for me?

@Zacharee1 No, you don't. You'd die from 100C though.

@Zacharee1 in java ?

@ByteCommander you think?

@Serg History

do you know Java though?

@Zacharee1 That 100°C will kill you? Oh yes, I'm sure of that.

hm. mc 1.11 has some interesting features

11:52 PM

@ByteCommander sarcasm?

but i don't see anything that would be good server-side really.

sarcasm

@KazWolfe the insta-wires are nice

using the new Observer blocks

@Zacharee1 Sort of. I blazed through Java 1 without any text book, just watched a video on youtube and used my C knowledge, but Java 2 ( data structures, stacks, linked lists, etc. ) left me emotionally scarred mostly due to my professor. But yes, i know some Jabba

lol

@KazWolfe? ^

what

oh.

slack

11:54 PM

that worked, just added the webinterface of the snap store to the external sites section of next cloud ;)
