7:00 AM
lol
 
which has sand inside the usb
 
I probably just mucked it somewhere
@Edity if you have nothing useful to say...
 
you filled it up with SAND
 
@Fabby ahh, hell.
 
I'm still blaming the drive, not lubuntu...
 
7:00 AM
I'll just nuke the haiku install
so am I ;p
 
STAB IT UNTILL IT DIESS
oh wait
usb checker?
 
nuke it in the dark, then shoot it till it glows
 
bad blocks?
 
oh, the USB key will boot a regular livecd
shrug
 
there's a pink HAIKU flying through the sky, lets delete it, booms
 
7:02 AM
@Fabby eh. Its cool. I'm trying again
kinda tempted to grab laptop -2 (which is newer) for this
it even has an SSD
 
HAppeh 2017 !
I've caught up to the rest of the world too
 
Will Portal 2 run on Intel graphics?
 
not great
but might
Intel graphics not all made the same tho ;p
 
intelllll graphics.... SUCK
 
Polymath? Why am I not surprised???
:D ;)
Smoke! BRB
 
7:18 AM
no dont smoke @Fabby
 
Bugger off, mum!
 
hm. Same issue with a real install ._.
ahh bother.
 
@Fabby lol k then
 
Time to go surf
Man, 2016 feels like yesterday right?
 
7:22 AM
Couldn't resist that crappy joke
 
@NathanOsman it can, not well.
and anything less than 60fps is unacceptable.
 
._.
That was it
 
@IanC have a nice time getting wet XD
 
@Fabby heh, sorted. nomodeset worked
damn, its been too long since I installed linux on crappy spare hardware :)
 
7:31 AM
:D :D :D
@KazWolfe 25fps is acceptable, 30 fps is good, 60 is GREAT!
Anything above that is a waste of CPU/GPU cycles...
 
(Its a c2d T2300, with 512 mb of ram, integrated graphics, and a spare HDD - 30gb I think)
 
@Serg :D :D:D
 
anyway, now that I know the problem I can just sort it out on this install then proceed with my original plan
 
@Edity Hopefully the beach won't be too dirty and there will be some waves :)
 
lol
 
7:34 AM
@JourneymanGeek Good enough for lubuntu! :)
 
Well, time to go, see yall later!
 
@Fabby its quite literally the oldest "in production" machine I have
Even has a 4:3 screen
(I actually have something older... but its probably not maintainable)
 
 
this is DDR2 (meh) sata (and I've upgraded something only slightly newer to SSDs) , gigabit ethernet, 2 channel abg wifi...
 
okay, stop advertising Microsoft.
 
7:37 AM
That's why I carry a Lubuntu USB stick around on my keychain....
 
Someone has a Windows problem? Boot lubuntu!
 
eww GMA 950
 
has anti-virus, tons of utilities, ...
 
winbuntu 10 linus edition
 
7:38 AM
Some even ask me to install in on their machine...
 
lol
I tend to favour KDE
but meh
I quite literally want a minimal desktop here
 
GNOME
 
"minimal" = lxde
 
@Edity er. No.
LXDE or XFCE
 
wth???
 
7:39 AM
I'm curious about lxqt
 
see you guys later
 
Ciao
 
I wonder if remastersys has a working build yet
 
@JourneymanGeek is it released yet ?
 
@Serg not properly, no
much like nearly every other project I seem to be following
 
7:46 AM
"We will soon be switching to LXQt instead of LXDE in Lubuntu, because that's where the development focus is. We don't know when, but it will be soon."
@Serg How was the proletarian champagne?
:) ;)
BRB
 
@Fabby actually my parents had bourgeois champagne. But I'll probably chase it up with some bourbon
 
:D :D :D
next time: Champagne + 1 table spoon of vodka + 1 table spoon of your favourite fruit liqueur...
2 and you're very tipsy!
>:-)
 
Also, Happy New Year, @Fabby ! I was running around , but now that i am back to my laptop, just wanna say , thanks for bringing me into AU room back in 2015 , and just for all the advice over time.
Hopefully, 2017 will be good for you and all that
 
:) YW ;)
I hope 2017 will be better than 2016.
 
Yep, it will be. We'll make it better
 
7:53 AM
March 2015-May 2016 was an annus horibilis
Funny how this stupid thing got 7000 views so I decided to expand my answer a bit from the original
 
@Serg thanks! <3 Hope it's an awesome year for you
 
Good Morning!
You're up early for New Year!
(or still up???)
@serg: As a +30K user: can you get me a listing of my most viewed answers???
(so I can review them)
 
@Fabby um . . .not quite sure how would i do that . . . Give me a sec to figure out
 
@Serg Hey @Serg (and everyone) happy new year!
 
@JacobVlijm happy new year!
 
8:04 AM
Welp, shiz, i guess Chinese censorship is blocking me from watching one of the streamers
dammit
 
Fabby I'm up late for me haha, and I've been to sleep
 
@JacobVlijm Hey Jacob, all alone! Happy MMXVII!!! :D
@Serg Proxy server....
 
@Serg sorry for delayed reply to your message - I woke up earlier, saw a dupe, dropped a vote, went back to sleep hahaha
 
@Zanna You would have loved my antipasti and pasta yesterday!
 
Vegan deliciousness?
 
8:06 AM
@Fabby Don't exactly wanna alert my ISP by using proxy, but i guess, i'll do so if i can't figure out anything
 
@Zanna Yup
@Serg Your ISP doesn;t care... The NSA might however! :D
Antipasti was all vegan by default, pasta was home-made pesto sauce with cheese as an option. :)
Well... Except for the foie gras appetiser!
that was definitely not vegan.
:)
(No cruelty to animals: Belgian production, the foie is a by-product of the tits&arse duck production.)
 
@Fabby I'm already a linux user and non-native american, so technically I'm on NSA list somewhere already
 
:D :D :D
 
@Zanna nice hat! :)
 
Thanks :)
 
8:12 AM
haha what a joker :p
 
:)
 
funny how 2017 doesn't feel any different!
 
I am waiting for 2017 to arrive. It's scheduled to arrive on Jan 9.
 
:D How many will get that reference without googling it?
 
And then I will go gooby gooby.
 
8:16 AM
I guess if you don't observe the gregorian calendar and are orthodox catholic or something?
 
@WinEunuuchs2Unix We'll make it feel different. Slowly but surely
 
@Serg Don't get me wrong I have positive feelings for the coming year. I thought there was great progress in 2016 globally too.
 
@WinEunuuchs2Unix we got the same hat & it looks better on him hahaha, but thanks!
 
Hats, hats everywhere
 
@Zanna Happy new year!!!
 
8:24 AM
@JacobVlijm hope it's a great one for you :)
 
@Fabby Have a great 2017!! (I am slow on my phone :) )
 
:D ;) Health, happiness, and lots of interesting scripts!
AFK
 
@Fabby :)
Wait, let's put on a hat...
 
baack
@JacobVlijm HNY :)
@Serg VPN
 
@Edity Happy new year!!!
 
8:38 AM
MMXVII dawns on us
in with the new out with the old
thats how it goes
 
8:49 AM
night everyone
 
9:00 AM
@WinEunuuchs2Unix Your PS in this answer isn't really relevant to the question... Mind removing it? (upvoted already)
 
9:16 AM
@Fabby Done and ty :)
 
Thank you! Care for me to edit next time this happens and you're not on-line?
 
Happy new year
 
happy 2017
 
9:32 AM
Be my guest Fabby... You know people do it all the time without asking... Nice of you to ask though :)
speaking of going off-line... it's 2:30am... so we'll see you all tomorrow.
 
yeah I just dive in and edit whatever I want :/
 
very british thing to do :p
 
hmm when you put it that way I feel like I should stop :S
 
jk
 
:)
 
9:45 AM
(:
 
@edwinksl If you wanna answer, I will upvote, if not, I will VTC
 
nah seems like a silly mistake, nothing really worth answering
let's VTC
 
I agree, I wouldn't answer it myself.... voted
 
Did you know that Ubuntu is behind one of the largest supercomputers
 
10:00 AM
somehow i think i read somewhere tianhe runs on kylin
 
Windows would implode on such a machine.
Happy New Year to all
2
 
happy new year @Takkat :)
 
I believe this to be one of the best New Year's mornings I had since I drank only one single glass of Champagne, not more... (all of the family still suffers from a kind of millenium-flu which was a real party stopper).
 
user136984
@KazWolfe: Did you see my question and how it's doing this morning? :D
 
user136984

It's got 25 upvotes, 686 views, and 3 favourites already!

Q: Will Ubuntu automatically adjust to the leap second at the end of the year (2016)?

Paranoid PandaThe BBC reports: An extra second will be added to the world's clocks on New Year's Eve in order to stay in sync with the Earth's rotation. Does this mean that I have to do anything so that my Ubuntu machine keeps in time with this or will it automatically adjust itself to not be a second ...

 
user136984
Now, I never expected that...
 
user136984
When I first saw how many upvotes I had got I thought it must have been a serial upvoter, but then I saw it was just on the one question!
 
@Zanna Don't! I only ask people who are regularly in chat...
 
@ParanoidPanda have another one
 
10:18 AM
@ParanoidPanda stackexchange.com/questions?tab=hot it is a HNQ
 
@edwinksl I vote for you to convert that to an answer and ping both me and @Zanna and we'll both upvote!
 
good question, kinda didn't think of that myself
 
@Fabby I don't think I can stop, I'm a compulsive editor by now
 
:D I was working in 2000 so did not catch the millennium flu!
Glückliches Neujahr!
 
user136984
@Serg: Thanks :)
 
user136984
10:21 AM
@Takkat: Really? Didn't expect it to end up there...
 
user136984
I guess it's showing up on those adverts across the whole SE network then?
 
user136984
That would explain it...
 
@Fabby I caught it from my workplace.
@ParanoidPanda yeah HNQ is win - grats \o/
 
user136984
Thanks :)
 
user136984
I was like wow, this is too much when I saw it there... :D
 
user136984
10:24 AM
Especially so high up.
 
user136984
That is nice. :)
 
Whenever votes shoot up it is highly suspicious of a HNQ. On both, questions and answers.
 
holly shiz @edwinksl
 
lmao this band is pretty f-ing awesome
i am enjoying it
 
10:28 AM
The guy in the beginning says "Hi, we are Los Colorados and would like to present German folk song, Du Hast"
omg , i'm lolling
 
why are they half naked though
maybe i shouldn't ask
 
I have no idea why
AHAHA, omg, they added some kind of ukrainian folk song to it too
 
lmao glad you enjoyed it
 
My god, if i could star it more than one time i would
 
lol
 
10:58 AM
 
i've never been listening to katy perry . . . but wow . . .
i think i don't have brain power no more to say anything else . . .
it's just cool
 
yeah it is very "folksy" and awesome
 
@ParanoidPanda Have you seen Rob Halford singing with Babymetal together ? youtube.com/watch?v=jQhGviF42rQ

user136984
11:20 AM
@Serg: Indeed I have! :D
 
user136984

@Mitch cool design....
reading this makes me tired askubuntu.com/questions/866727/…
 
@_@
 
yeah my face exactly...
 
:.(
 
OP is xenophobic dumba$$ : travel.stackexchange.com/q/85277 I can't belive mods of that community didn't close the question, because that has nothing to do with traveling aside from OP coming to Australia 9 months ago. It's just basically a question " how do I ask the slanted-eyed people to give me way?"
 
11:57 AM
"stretched eyes"
 
@Mitch was it designed by Cisco ?
 
i have to agree with lightness here
 
@Serg heh. I don't have the rep to do anything about that there :(
and short of flagging/bitching directly to a mod/commenting...
 
you are not even 3k here :p
 
true ;p
 
12:01 PM
please fix
 
also that post is definitely racist
my path has been blocked by all sorts of people
 
lol
I once went to visit a friend in france and we were supposed to meet in paris, since he lives in the middle of nowhere. He insisted on carrying my bag. I said "I can manage it". he told me "no no. I need something to bash these parisians out of the way"
Very universal.
 
urgh that is such a horrible post
 
a simple tap on the shoulder does it most of the times
it is pretty obvious when someone needs to get out of the way
 
12:06 PM
I personally go with a earsplittingly loud, and very polite EXCUSE ME! SORRY!
gotta be loud.
 
that is very sg
 
Well typically singaporeans
"SIAM AH!"
 
eh, more like "KNNBCCB SIAM AH!"
 
I also have the annoyedly polite EXCUSE ME
 
I never say anything, I just wait/dodge/smile&gesture
 
12:07 PM
and the "god, you are an idiot" excuse me.
 
see, this is definitely a dense population thing
we all have tricks to get people out of the damn way
 
The bag?
he's french, he's racist against parisians of any race.
 
lol
 
Sorry, I had to make that a little more correct.
 
@JourneymanGeek have you been to US yet
 
12:09 PM
@edwinksl alas no, not yet
I've been to UK, france, australia, india (many many times), malaysia...
 
oh nice you can be my tour guide in india
 
lol
I invariably end up getting dragged along to visit family
 
Registered just to answer that question. Yay downvotes ( as if I absolutely care about rep there )
 
12:36 PM
You need 125 rep to downvote.
 
@Mitch ooh I'm stealing this one
 
I think he's peversely saying yay to the downvotes he's about to receive...
 
I mean, I can't downvote the posts because I don't have enough rep.
 
yes that is frustrating me right now too
 
What's funny is that the post is tagged culture, as if people are supposed to block tourists by culture.. :/
 
12:40 PM
but the anonymous downvotes get counted at least :)
I upvoted the answer that essentially says "yeah those people think you are saying hi; try not expecting everyone on earth to speak English"
 
@Mitch Where is that?
@Zanna Try again... :P ;)
 
thanks for fixing it Fabby
I could say some things about Australians in my experience, but, I will behave myself
 
@Serg :D It's a funny read though and an excellent answer!
@edwinksl Have you read the answer? Could be Japanese totally oblivious to the culture... Happened to me in Russia too before I spoke a bit more then I do now... (CC @Serg)
@JourneymanGeek and thus starred! :)
@edwinksl Yup! I agree. A tap on the left shoulder and then walk past them on the right...
 
@Fabby Thanks. Answer isn't the best quality and not the type of stuff i like to post. Just had to "blow off some verbal steam".
 
@Fabby yeah i have read some of the answers
yup tapping/gesturing works way better
 
12:49 PM
hm
when did apt get a progress bar?
 
forever :p
you are a real dinosaur
 
lol
Pretty sure my other system has an LTS and it dosen't have a progress bar
 
Apparently apt is fancy cousin of apt-get
 
@JourneymanGeek around 14.04
 
and I've only been running fedora for 2 or 3 years.
ah. I've never run the apt command, only apt get.
which might explain it
also, sg repos actually work 0_0
 
12:51 PM
yeah, i've learned about it only after Seth explained it to me
 
OK, gonna go try to get some sleep. It is 5:54 AM here
 
1:10 PM
I think my answer needs a +1 as it's better then the current answer on the top (as he answered while I was editing the question) @Zanna
 
I will upvote it if you explain how to flash the BIOS
or at least link to a good howto
you can really fubar your machine making a mess of that job right?
 
That's actually off-topic here, I'm just adding that for completeness...
[shrug] and thanks for the edit...
I've heard people having trouble with BIOS updates but never had any myself...
The only way to FUBAR a BIOS update is to shut down in the middle of it
 
probably they misunderstand "firmware bug" anyway? that message is harmless I think?
 
Firmware viruses do exist, but they're extremely rare...
 
shrug idk. Have an upvote since I agree they should reinstall :S
 
1:17 PM
So I think what he really has is a virus that cannot be removed from Windows while running Windows...
:D :D :D
Thanks1
 
no worries yeah if they have windows it's probably ill in various ways
 
user136984
1:30 PM
For some reason I still don't feel like this is 2017, but I don't feel like it's 2016 still either. It sort of feels like an intermediary period.
 
@ParanoidPanda That's why it's a day off! :P :D
 
user136984
Has the New Year begun everywhere in the world now or is anyone still before 12PM?
 
user136984
I don't know a lot about timezones.
 
user136984
Ah, just checked! And I see that it is so everywhere! :)
 
user136984
And Trump goes into office in 19 days is it?
 
user136984
1:55 PM
The grammar in that last sentence went a bit odd... But anyway... :D
 
groans, before dropping a flashbang into the room
oopsies bang
 
Hi everyone
o/ @ThomasWard
 
@Hizqeel don't bother
orbital weapons strikes are extraordinarily useful against NaA posts.
o/ @Hizqeel
 
got it
 
 
1 hour later…
3:18 PM
lol Netflix just added The Bee Movie
 
BURN IT
 
Hello everybody ! :) Happy New Year to all of you ! :)
 
3:37 PM
@cl-netbox Hello o/ :)
 
@Hizqeel Hello and Happy New Year ! :)
 
HAppy new year :)
 
@Hizqeel Thank you ! :)
 
(Third times a charm ) hat meaning YOU have to hit the rep cap 200 per day than you will get that hat.... :/ Am i right
 
@Hizqeel Don't understand ... does it mean that you got a hat for having more than 200 points on one day ? If yes : Congrats ! :)
 
3:46 PM
o.O
 
@Hizqeel ??? does this now mean yes or no ? :)
 
I mean that there is a hat that say's

hit the reputation cap on three different days
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN??
 
200 rep in 3 days
 
:O ;-(
@cl-netbox No
 
Oh ... Hi @jokerdino ! :) Sorry for yesterday ... the Reds won ... but there are still 19 matches to play ... so there's a chance though ... :)
 
3:50 PM
haha, I like that it was not a thrashing
 
@jokerdino Did you expect that sincerely ? I meant it when I said 50 : 50 ... but for @edwinksl that result was great ... right @edwinksl ? :)
 
We never do well in Anfield. So, I was prepared for a 4-0 but hoping for a win somehow.
 
@jokerdino What ? 4-0 ? Never ! City is too strong for losing with that difference ! :)
 
Last year.
 
@jokerdino Really ? Must have missed that ! :)
 
3:55 PM
@jokerdino Why haven't you got that hat ? You earned 270 in 3 days
 
Good ;P
@Hizqeel 200 in each of the 3 days
 
o.o ok
 
I didn't cross 60 total in 3 days lol
 
:p
 
hmm hostile scousers
 
4:12 PM
>.<
 
?
 
4:30 PM
Scousers are nice really ;)
 
if only i can understand what they are saying :)
 
I can't speak the language, but I understand it hahaha
 
hi
 
Hi Anwar :)
 
hi
 
4:45 PM
@Hizqeel hi :) Just visited your twitter. Wondering which country are you from?
anyway, I actually wanted to ask for a software recommendation for creating picture with text.
 
@Anwar I was thinking the same that you will ask the same question from me :p :)
 
@Anwar ASCII art creator?
 
A Country from whom you got independent :)
 
@Zanna No. An actual image containing some message
 
@Anwar
 
4:47 PM
@Hizqeel I guessed that :)
 
@Anwar :)
@Anwar I am actually just curious I once read your name as Anwar SHAH ....
Are you a shah?
 
@Hizqeel Nah. It's not a family name. It was named after a great scholar.
 
ok I was thinking that in another perspective like Shia Shah @Anwar now got it
 
Well....Any recommendation?
 
5:13 PM
GIMP
or paint...
 
Thanks. Trying GIMP
GIMP distorts texts
