@edwinksl That feels... wrong.

Mine took two months to arrive.

BURN!

Probably they were busy finding the right owl to fly it over here...

@NathanOsman Have you got your Hacktoberfest package finally btw?

hahahahaha. The governement is either really stupid or just outright lying to promote an agenda.

@KazWolfe wat

@Seth bit of both.

@KazWolfe probably true.

it's mostly scare tactics combined with ignorance.

after all, you say "hacker," everyone panics.

it's like when you say "cell phones emit radiation"

@KazWolfe is that even Ubuntu?

And why burn?

burn the question.

and i honestly can't tell.

Ah

It's KDE, but Kubuntu doesn't look like that by default

that's not KDE.

I want to say LXDE or similar

What is it? Sure looks like KDE.

Looks like LXDE to me

yeah, it's LXDE.

If it is Ubuntu, it's Xubuntu.

Ah yep, it's got the same logo

Lubuntu

But we don't support Wine/iTunes, so not our problem.

Not Xubuntu

That's xfce

oh, that's right. Xubuntu is XFCE. Lubuntu is LXDE.

There are too many *buntus

Question: who has worked on a *nix system other than Linux ?

Me

@Serg I touched fedora with a stick once

OS X, and some FreeBSD.

@Zacharee1 Fedora is Linux.

Solaris

Oh yeah and Hackintosh

@Zacharee1 still Linux though

@KazWolfe oops lol thought Ubuntu for some reason @serg

@Terrance yuck

@KazWolfe @Terrance oh, oh, purrfect . Need ideas: are there any Solaris/BSD tools that are not available on Linux ?

@Zacharee1 Part of my job

@Terrance I thought Solaris was dead

@Serg er, tools for what, specifically? And, more to the point, why?

i mean, there are unique tools, but i'm pretty sure anything worthwhile's been ported.

@Zacharee1 We have Sun/Oracle servers all over the DC here.

@KazWolfe because I need ideas for python scriptz <.<

@Serg Raspberry Pi: Make me a cup of coffee.

I have a coffee machine, and to make coffee, I need to short something for 30 seconds.

That'll come once I learn how to use GPIO on raspberry

@Serg dladm vs ethtool

Whoo, getting Resurrection Remix officially for the V20 soon

@Serg script ideas - start replicating board games.

And someone else is developing an API for the second screen

And my core source code is now at 1.8 MB!

Woo!

O_o

oh, @Serg. Script idea: Write fake news.

In other words, work for Facebook

fakebook

@Terrance interesting . . . what's dladm do basically ? It seems like a network manager of sorts

@KazWolfe My morals don't allow me that

@Serg It is. I have incorporated in into my scripts for reading what port a server is plugged into.

@RobotHumans Ok. . . That's an idea . . . I'm looking for something of text-processing and system administration type of things, but that's also good

Stupid sinuses.

@Seth Embers

lol askubuntu.com/review/suggested-edits/661808

Umm askubuntu.com/users/638451/hello

whoa

o_O

that is so unimaginative

@edwinksl adwonkzil

do ur seevee

am

yuck

Awwww, I missed the SmokeDetector posts. Look away from the page for a moment and I miss all the fun!

they disappeared in seconds

I didn't get a chance either

Thomas had his orbital weapons pre-warmed for instant strikes...

@ByteCommander do you haz linkz?

@Zacharee1 ooh I hadn't heard that one before. Very good.

yeah it is

linkz for wat?

teh smokez

pls

thx

@ThomasWard you're not suspending hello?

looks like hello is an unregistered user

is it possible to suspend an unregistered user?

@Zacharee1 Moderator spam or rude/abusive flag triggers IP Ban

can't suspend an unregged user, but the IP is sniped.

rip

@ThomasWard what does it look like when you get IP-banned?

@Edity want to see for yourself?

LOL

ummmm..

Do IP bans treat e.g. TOR exit nodes specially?

oh,boy, can't even laugh anymore in this house. Father just freaked out because i was slightly laughing , and oh lo and behold - the usual avalanche of bullcarp of how useless i am

in reference to chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/34555503#34555503

i think so?

@Serg That's no fun!

ikr

@Edity ask meta.se or the meta

i'm busy with other things I have to get done before tomorrow

"When I was 27 . . ." Uh-huh, very happy for you, congratulations

One thing for sure: once i leave this house, I am not coming back here for more than a day or two. Ain't no-one is gonna be calling my gf a chink

"When I was your age, I was 28!"

That's yucky! I would expect an apology for behavior like that. Uncalled for!

VTC off topic

My bad!

@Serg, just remember that you know far more about the world of tech than they ever will, and if you play your cards right, your future will be hundreds of times better than theirs.

@Terrance no apology needed, I'll just leave when i have the chance, and won't come back. Need help ? Call a technician or something. He started taking 100$ each month from me, because "we need to split cost of electricity and internet and some blah blah". But when computer breaks ,oh, Serg fix it

@Terrance wut. he has an account on Ask Different

@Serg Yeah, I don't blame you for wanting to leave. I would do the exact same thing. I found an old friend of mine was treating me like that, and I just left him high and dry. Never returned.

@Serg disgusting

@KazWolfe OK, One would think that he would have asked that question there.

And, @Serg, when you have all the money from a great tech career, you can just put them in the worst (cheapest) old folks' home you can find.

And then, take 67% of the rent from them.

Dang it!! My host was supposed to PXE boot, not go to the OS. UGH!!

@KazWolfe my morals wouldn't let me. I am not the type to screw people over, although I really really want to

You're not screwing them over.

You're simply ensuring they get taken care of, because you don't have the time to.

@Serg Sometimes they need the wake up call that they can't treat people like that.

If anything, you're preventing them from being screwed over because you're too busy being a productive member of society.

@Serg leave the house, never come back XDDDDDD

And as for the rent, they're the ones living there, not you. You're being nice to them by paying a third.

@KazWolfe trick is that I've crappy university job, and right now on vacation , thus no income till like end of January. He knows this and intentionally started it month before i go on vacation

@Serg Don't fix tech.

Just don't even touch it.

Cite liability or something. I bet you can find something in one of the TOS that you can't fix it because you're not an authorized support provider.

I did that with my mother after she got annoying. "Sorry, mom, I can't help you with your computer. You have patient data on it, so I can't touch it as per HIPAA compliance"

Oh, i won't touch anything no more. I'm very much done.

no, touch it. For $60/hr or whatever your standard rate * 1.5 is

steal da monehs

and be sure to change the router admin password, for network security.

if you don't, some hacker/botnet might get in and infect your parents' computers. and you could have done something about it.

@ThomasWard orly

you can convolute any logic in such a way that it's "not screwing someone over"

I do it all the time! :D

@Serg o_O

@KazWolfe oh it is changed. I'm same network , and I want none of that. Told him couple times, change your yahoo email password ( it's 6 numbers, absolutely crappy ). Well, I won't remind him no more

i mean, change it so he doesn't know it.

@KazWolfe he doesn't know it anyway. Everything is managed by me

and i'd set wifi to hidden for security purposes. harder to get access to the wifi, even if local.

When I was in China for 3 weeks, they were basically praying that the router won't do any hickups, because there was no-one to fix it

plus then google can't get location information for the SSID.

helps maintain their privacy.

@Serg 888888

security!

@KazWolfe lol you're like the mean tech guy in every Disney sitcom

Malicious Compliance :D

lol

trademark that

/afk

@ByteCommander mine came in... early December maybe?

I can't remember exactly.

you know you're tired when you try to press the hardware capacitive keys on your phone when they don't exist

@Serg seriously dude, i feel really sorry for you. i never had any moments where my parents talk smack to me as much as your father does

@Edity his parents really aren't helping the Eastern Slavic stereotype

yep

it looks like sergs dad is an Anti-Punny person

@NathanOsman there's an innuendo there. I just know it

@edwinksl that looks pretty cool.

I might give that a shot.

I've got lots of Python code.

watd adwonkzil sae

opensource.googleblog.com/2017/01/grumpy-go-running-python.html

scroll up zachjuandur

Lol.

o_O

a language mashup..

can't go well

Let's. Do. This.

Language wars begin in 3... 2...

I mean just look at PHP. it's like they took the worst parts of Java and C and added some other crap just for fun

@NathanOsman I personally prefer good ole binary

written in Gedit

@edwinksl i donz c u in revue

@ThomasWard user has a disagreement with a dupe. Original question was asked for Ubuntu 14.04 and answers were written and accepted at the time. As Ubuntu matured the question was edit to say "Ubuntu 14.04 through 16.10" but the answers no longer reflect reality. The proper method would leave the question the same and post new answers. : askubuntu.com/questions/865628/…?

@NathanOsman 1...0?

@Zacharee1 pls. i will do it later

@edwinksl NAO

pls

food time

plusz

I really want sourdough bread with butter right now for some reason

sourdough or that weird bread that has all the seeds on the crust and in it

i mean

and real bread, not the plastic packaged foam "bread"

sourdough bread is dope

@edwinksl liek srsly

with butter

mmmmmmmmmmm

stahp

i might have to eat the rest of nathan's hat

@Seth have you noticed that a lot of OC's songs are kind of depressing?

@Zacharee1 yes

maybe that's why I like them so much. He has plenty of happy ones too though.

it's kind of like with Florence + The Machine

happy tune, sad lyrics
