I can on very rare occasions get hold of like 92% cacao chocolate. With a very low sugar content. But I don't find that very often. And if I do at all it something like a special sale in a special health foods kind of shop.

TheWanderer

@Videonauth yay....

user136984

I've wondered about making my own.

user136984

Maybe I should.

user136984

I could just buy cacao powder.

Byte Commander

I just got confused by sed...

You know, you can enable extended regex support with the -r flag

but apparently the -E flag does the same, although it is entirely undocumented... o_O

or am I missing something?

Videonauth

10:03 PM

i think its different kinds of regex i think

TheWanderer

you think so?

user136984

       -E, -r, --regexp-extended

              use  extended regular expressions in the script (for portability
              use POSIX -E).

Byte Commander

You have a different version of sed then...

Videonauth

ok so its both regexp

Byte Commander

-r, --regexp-extended

use extended regular expressions in the script.

from man sed

which version is yours @ParanoidPanda?

user136984

10:05 PM

I have the latest 4.4.

TheWanderer

@ByteCommander maybe you have the weird version

user136984

On Arch.

user136984

Which do you have?

TheWanderer

Panda's says POSIX is -E

Byte Commander

$ sed --version
sed (GNU sed) 4.2.2
[copyright blah blah...]

Videonauth

10:05 PM

4.4.1 here on 17.10

TheWanderer

@ByteCommander you're outdated

Byte Commander

Xenial.

TheWanderer

OUTDATED

Kaz Wolfe

@TheWanderer your mom's outdated.

Byte Commander

LONG TERM

TheWanderer

10:06 PM

@KazWolfe OH

@ByteCommander BUT PACKAGES STILL UPDATE, NO?

Byte Commander

Only sec patches, no plain minor feature updates

There's a reason why it's called stable.

TheWanderer

an entire flag seems pretty major

user136984

This is some really weird music.

TheWanderer

and don't x.Y versions count as major?

Byte Commander

It works though... it's just undocumented.

Major.minor.micro

Kaz Wolfe

10:08 PM

Maj.Min.Pat

TheWanderer

@ByteCommander which probably means it isn't complete

Byte Commander

idk

TheWanderer

@KazWolfe Pat? Paternal?

Byte Commander

and idc

Kaz Wolfe

Patch

TheWanderer

10:08 PM

oh lol

Kaz Wolfe

I thought you knew how to software

TheWanderer

I don't know how to terminology

Kaz Wolfe

fair enough

Videonauth

@TheWanderer well 4.2 was the actual version from 30-04-2009 till 04-01-2017 when 4.4 came out

TheWanderer

I'm still not sure if a private class var in Java is a Member var

@Videonauth o_O

that's inherently outdated

Kaz Wolfe

10:09 PM

@Videonauth did you really just do DD-MM-YYYY?

TheWanderer

for us murcians

wait no

that's not what us murcians do

Kaz Wolfe

freedom format is mm/dd/yyyy

TheWanderer

DD-MM-YYYY makes way more sense

Kaz Wolfe

The only true format is YYYY-MM-DD

TheWanderer

that or YYYY-MM-DD

MM-DD-YYYY is just dumb

Videonauth

10:10 PM

@KazWolfe yep

TheWanderer

it's all out of order

Kaz Wolfe

MDY exists because of calendars

TheWanderer

still dumb

Kaz Wolfe

You flip to the month first, and then to the day.

TheWanderer

what is it with the US and not changing?

Videonauth

10:11 PM

@KazWolfe not in germany :p you would get confused by all calendars and dates here then lol

Kaz Wolfe

because of those things --^

TheWanderer

we don't use those things anymore

Kaz Wolfe

yeah but we did in the 20th century

TheWanderer

but it's not the 20th century

it's 18 years out of it

Kaz Wolfe

correct. but this is america

TheXed

10:12 PM

all you need to know is today is today tomorrow is tomorrow and yesterday never happened...

3

Kaz Wolfe

we're stupid.

TheWanderer

yus

user136984

It's really confusing because it's not always clear which one is meant to be the day and which the month for the BBE and other expiry dates on packets of biscuits that I like to munch on.

TheWanderer

stooped*

Kaz Wolfe

which is also why we're not using the metric system.

TheWanderer

10:12 PM

kek reddit.com/r/lgv20/comments/7bo88d/…

Kaz Wolfe

even though the law does say the metric system is official now

@TheWanderer I just fire up ethminer

Videonauth

and in fact the metric system makes scientifically more sense

TheWanderer

@Videonauth why do you think it was created?

@KazWolfe wat

Videonauth

@TheWanderer because we europenas didnt want a measurement system based on body parts which can change from person to person

Diego Henriquez

what is the real topic ??

Kaz Wolfe

10:14 PM

> This legislation amended the Metric Conversion Act of 1975 and designated the metric system as "the Preferred system of weights and measures for United States trade and commerce".

TheWanderer

in other words, science @Videonauth

@KazWolfe LOL

Videonauth

@TheWanderer right !

user136984

@TheWanderer Did you hear they invented some country called "Kekistan" and a lot of people actually believe it's real?

user136984

Sorry, you just reminded me of it for some reason. :P

Videonauth

and if you read into it the whole system makes perfect sense

Metric prefix

A metric prefix is a unit prefix that precedes a basic unit of measure to indicate a multiple or fraction of the unit. While all metric prefixes in common use today are decadic, historically there have been a number of binary metric prefixes as well. Each prefix has a unique symbol that is prepended to the unit symbol. The prefix kilo-, for example, may be added to gram to indicate multiplication by one thousand: one kilogram is equal to one thousand grams. The prefix milli-, likewise, may be added to metre to indicate division by one thousand; one millimetre is equal to one thousandth of a metre...

user136984

10:16 PM

Not sure what "kek" means in your context.

TheWanderer

@ParanoidPanda kekistan has something to do with 4-chan and the alt-right

@ParanoidPanda it's like lol

Kaz Wolfe

Finland also does not exist.

TheWanderer

oh

govt conspiracy?

user136984

@TheWanderer I would agree regarding the first, but at least not completely regarding the second. I've heard people doing it in this country whom you could describe as "right-wing", but not "alt-right".

Diego Henriquez

Area 51 ???

TheWanderer

10:17 PM

@DiegoHenriquez yes, Finland is Area 51

and now that you know the truth, you must die

Byte Commander

@KazWolfe neither does Bielefeld

Diego Henriquez

jajajajaja (y)

Videonauth

@ByteCommander isnt that close to pusemuckl?

Byte Commander

whom?

TheWanderer

whomstve

Diego Henriquez

10:19 PM

Sorry man I do not understand

TheWanderer

womstdver

Videonauth

whomstderr?

Diego Henriquez

De que se supone que trata esta Charla

TheWanderer

nadie sabe lol

Byte Commander

Who is Carla?

Videonauth

10:21 PM

Writing great documentation

►

TheWanderer

charla == chat @ByteCommander

Diego Henriquez

oooooooooooooo man

Byte Commander

:ok_hand:

user136984

This chat has gone weird.

Byte Commander

mi espanol es muy rusty

TheWanderer

10:21 PM

gone?

user136984

I wanna be involved!

user136984

:P

TheWanderer

@ByteCommander quizás es por que estás de alemania

Videonauth

@ParanoidPanda weirder than usual?

Byte Commander

donde esta mi cerveza?

Diego Henriquez

10:22 PM

jajajajaja

TheWanderer

@ByteCommander no debe beber y conducir

Diego Henriquez

Ask Ubuntu ???

user136984

@Videonauth: Well, given that the weird has actually changed to a language that I can't understand, I think yes! :D

Byte Commander

yo no conducto nadie

TheWanderer

@DiegoHenriquez sabes que es Ubuntu, verdad..?

@ByteCommander conduzco

Diego Henriquez

10:23 PM

I dont see nothing about Ubuntu or linux her ....

user136984

What language is this anyway?

Byte Commander

whatever

Diego Henriquez

Claro amigo yo lo invente

TheWanderer

@DiegoHenriquez nadie dijo que necesita ser sobre este

@ParanoidPanda hispaniol

Byte Commander

It has been over 4 years since my last Spanish lesson...

Diego Henriquez

10:24 PM

oooooo interesante

Byte Commander

time flies

TheWanderer

no flies time

Byte Commander

only in Soviet Russia though

user136984

@DiegoHenriquez This is a Linux command you know. ;P

TheWanderer

silly byte

Byte Commander

10:24 PM

silly zach

TheWanderer

@DiegoHenriquez btw double negatives don't happen in English

Diego Henriquez

@Paranoid (y)

TheWanderer

are there double negatives in German @ByteCommander?

Byte Commander

Nein, ich habe keinen Dackel nicht gesehen.

TheWanderer

So yes?

Byte Commander

10:25 PM

(That's a quote from a comic as example for typical Bavarian triple-negation)

You can do much.

Nobody really cares anyway.

Diego Henriquez

OOOOO @TheWanderer

Bueno me retiro... Suerte compartiendo información....

TheXed

Anyone have a kindle fire?

Byte Commander

Nope

TheXed

well my 6 year olds went rogue and downloaded 500 gbs worth of data in 7 days...

Videonauth

today i wrote a feedback for skypeforlinux lol "KEEP YOUR FINGERS OUT OF THE SYSTEM AND /etc/apt/sources.list AND /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

:D after that darn client wrote the third same file for the skype repo

TheXed

10:33 PM

skype for Linux is still a thing?

Videonauth

yes it is

Kaz Wolfe

gah

ravery reverted another edit

TheXed

When was the last time they made an update?

Kaz Wolfe

i think skype for linux is just electron or whatever now

Videonauth

i just solved it now by making sources.list and sources.list.d and its contents read only

i have setup their repo in a files called skype.list and today i had suddently two files more called skypeforlinux.list and skype-stabe.list all with the same entries

just because they wanted to roll out an update

user136984

10:46 PM

Right

user136984

Anyway folks

user136984

It's getting late and I had a chest infection.

user136984

Better get some sleep now.

user136984

Goodnight! :)

user136984

I'm off to bed.

Kaz Wolfe

10:50 PM

that's an interesting anon.

TheWanderer

now why did Avast create an online C decompiler?

IanC

online C decompiler?

TheWanderer

11:06 PM

retdec.com

Benny

good night =)

Byte Commander

Phh, there's still no decompiler like a cracked Russian Pro decompiler :P

TheWanderer

I wish C didn't strip function names :/

hey @NathanOsman you here?

Byte Commander

obviously not

TheWanderer

shh

Byte Commander

11:10 PM

anyway, I'm off too...

IanC

11:32 PM

@TheWanderer I was going to try it, but x86_64 is not supported

and I don't think I've installed the libc32 pkgs

it probably doesn't make reverse engineering so much easier, except for it requiring a little less ASM knowledge, right?

TheWanderer

yeah

functions aren't named or anything so

IanC

I think they probably had a hard time to build all the ASM recognition patterns for the conditional keywords, sounds easy until everything gets scrambled with a -On :p
