@SQuirel hello.

1:36 AM

@NathanOsman nooooooooooooooo.com

@Serg looks gud

maaan, even after making a bounty nobody even commented on my question

I think I'll never know

@IanC what question

Q: Nagle's Algorithm, ACK Delay and Rlogin echo

0

I'm reading about TCP data flow, Delayed ACK and Nagle's Algorithm. So far I understand that: The Delayed ACK implementation on TCP creates a delay on the acknowledgement of segments received to give the opportunity for the application to write some data along with the acknowledgement, thus av...

I'm not sure, is Server Fault the place for questions about TCP/IP protocols?

Stack Overflow might be better.

Especially if we're dealing with very specific questions about the protocol.

1:41 AM

should I make another question there?

It's a bit specific I guess

at first I thought it would fit better either ServerFault or Network Engineering, but Stack Overflow makes sense too now that you mentioned it

SQuirel

Does anyone know anything about ncmpcpp?

Mateo

@NathanOsman not coming up in snap find

andrew.46

'Cracking' questions ok? Easy enough to answer but..... : askubuntu.com/q/831394/57576

@IanC i agree SO would be a better place. as an example, stackoverflow.com/questions/1040462/unclear-on-nagles-algorithm

@Mateo Argh.

1:48 AM

Is there a sort of theme-neutral icon folder , which gtk recognize ?

I really wish they'd improve the docs.

@Serg Yup.

/usr/share/pixmaps

@NathanOsman are you just favoriting everything CC tweets?

Pretty much :P

@edwinksl great! I'll make a question on SO and wish I get luckier

Hmmm . . .I tried saving a 48x48 icon there . . . but the gtk.Image.new_from_icon_name() doesn't recognize it

1:50 AM

might even link the ServerFault question in case the answer wants to claim the bounty there, otherwise the 50rep will go to outterspace

I sort of use that as a criteria for helping decide what gets tweeted. "Is this something I would favorite?" If not, probably not worth tweeting. If so, then I favorite it :D

@andrew.46 heh, up to you, at least it is not super clear to me if OP is doing illegal things or not

@NathanOsman i was the first ever post lol

That wasn't the first.

But you're famous anyway.

A: Is Nagle Algorithm and delayed ACK used for bulk data?

WHAT

5

The idea of the Nagle algorithm was to prevent more than one undersized packet from being in transit at a time. The idea of delayed ACKs (which came from Berkeley) was to avoid sending a lone ACK for each character received when typing over a Telnet connection with remote echo, by waiting a fixe...

Nagle himself answered that dude??

1:55 AM

lol

i mean, we also have shuttleworth answering questions from time to time

Yup, famous people are still people

see, even sergod talks to us mere mortals

<.< wat ?

lolz

@Serg is awesome

Thank you, I do enjoy the attention ! :) Though , i'm not that good

1:58 AM

@Serg rly

notgud

hahahatehjokez

OK, back to breaking my head with gtk icons

they are not loading?

@Zacharee1 you totally sound like you are dreading that history test

@edwinksl ihdc

They're loading alright. Problem is that Gtk shows icons from custom file in very very small size. If I specify stock icon, I can show up to 48x48 icon

2:00 AM

@Zacharee1 then it has to be MC time like nao

@IanC

If I throw my icon into /usr/share/pixmaps folder , it's not treated as stock icon

@edwinksl yep, Kaz and I are playing around rn

or at least trying

@Serg Wait, what?

but are you using them on the Unity panel? Or on some other part of the GUI?

my MC keeps crashing

2:02 AM

@Serg this might be helpful to you: blog.quickmediasolutions.com/2016/03/27/icon-themes.html

@Zacharee1 windows?

Yes, but MultiMC

and it worked in 1.11 just a few minutes ago

now 1.10 is all screwed up

Q: Nagle's Algorithm, ACK Delay and Rlogin echo

alright, I posted the question on SO too, crossing fingers

0

I was suggested to ask here too, since specific questions about protocols are on-topic, but in case anyone is interested the question also has a small bounty on ServerFault. I'm reading about TCP data flow, Delayed ACK and Nagle's Algorithm. So far I understand that: The Delayed ACK implement...

algorithm networking tcp nagle

maybe Nagle himself will answer me :D

Hehe, let's hope so

Or Mr. ACK.

:)

2:08 AM

@IanC you might want to remove the one in server fault in case your SO post gets closed for being crossposted

is it against the rules if it's on topic on both sites?

SO is pretty aggressive for removing crossposts in my experience

i have raised several mod flags about crossposts in SO and they inevitably get removed

@IanC pretty much it's an unspoken rule :)

won't even see the bounty timeout :/

well, I'll delete it then

"Questions with open bounties cannot be deleted"

@IanC oops

2:21 AM

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

remember to escape backslash

what does backslash do here?

you use it to escape *

lol

*lol*

and a bunch of other things

got it

reddit also uses markdown, so naturally, they talk about this reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/comments/3fbrg3/…

@Jakuub well you've have 3 years to improve it. If you don't have the time, then don't answer. — Zacharee1 6 hours ago

@Zacharee1 ^ lol

2:39 AM

:)

I found something this morning, but didn't write it down . . . . mmmmmmm . . . .one of those moments

@NathanOsman no, the "FOR THE MOTHERLAND" thing was me

Mkay, I'm off the clock , so going home . . .

Q: AskUbuntu pages are returning an error when connected to Opera's built in VPN

Oh that one.

But it wasn't tweeted by my fancy app, so it doesn't count :D

okay well that wasn't as great as the title made it seem.

4:45 AM

How's this , guys ?

Already pushed this off to git, since I'll probably stick with unicode squares and stuff

It gets the job done.

wow. wrote code blind and my entire server didn't blow up. cool.

@KazWolfe Sysadmin level . . . over 9000

it's a good feeling when code you write without testing works

Sometimes, I notice a notification icon indicating pending updates, or just the update manager pops up, asking to download some updates. Then, when I want to go through with it, I'm asked for my password. At this point, how do I know that the icon and the window I'm interacting with are indeed co...

Anyone got ideas on this one? :D
