garrilous gopher?

terdon

@Serg Cerebralcoitus?

RobotHumans

^ that

Zacharee1

@terdon that sounds worse

terdon

True

Serg

Take Clojure and Scala for instance

terdon

5:00 PM

Hey @RobotHumans, how'd the interview go? That was yesterday, right?

Oh wow, that would be a great name for a Roman fort in Asterix: Cerebralcoitus!

Zacharee1

o_O

Edity

what does it mean for "illegal vendor id" on wireless interface?

RobotHumans

Interview went fine. Now I've been fighting with getting a local nodejs environment with their tools on it to pass the over the weekend skills test and send them unit tests. @terdon

terdon

@RobotHumans Cool! Good luck!

Zacharee1

@Edity it doesn't match any brand maybe?

Edity

5:02 PM

k

Serg

if i ever make a programming language i will call it cheeseburger-script

RobotHumans

@Serg rabbity-rat, as in just food for pythons ;)

Serg

@RobotHumans alternatively, rattatooley

Zacharee1

lol

Edity

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Serg

5:10 PM

Ok, I'm running low on energy here. I should probably do some coding before I completely run out of juice

Or at least plan a few things for other days

$ python -c 'import os; print len(os.listdir("."))'
960

I need to clean up my home directory O.o

Thomas Ward

@Serg Theres a very easy way to do that.

chuckles evilly to himself since at least three people know what he's going to say next

Zacharee1

sigh

Serg

I am not pulling a terdon

Zacharee1

@Serg good :)

Serg

@cl-netbox now that's something I've not seen in a loooong time

cl-netbox

all personal stuff is on separate partitions ! :) ->

Serg

I mostly keep virtual machines and backup of photos on separate HDD, but my root partition is a bit of a mess

I'll have to do deep cleaning during the spring break

cl-netbox

@Serg my /root partition contains nothing more than just the pure operating system (including "empty" /home) itself. :)

terdon

@Serg You mean the Capital first letter for the directory names? Yeah, weird.

:P

Zacharee1

5:28 PM

...

Thomas Ward

@TheXed There's nifty equipment still working on PCI - like quad-port Gigabit NIC cards with Intel chipsets. Server equipment is fun isn't it :P

Serg

@terdon no, i meant the default directory structure, without 360 testdirs and variation on the name lol. But yeah, capital names are kinda weird

Zacharee1

@ThomasWard find me a good video card on PCI

Thomas Ward

@Zacharee1 no.

Zacharee1

darn

Thomas Ward

5:30 PM

here's a small foil star instead that says "You tried but failed"

it's not gold-colored either.

cl-netbox

@terdon which Capital letters ? I left /home folder names unchanged. :)

terdon

:P

Zacharee1

@ThomasWard I'll settle for a 2008 R2 Standard key

Thomas Ward

@Zacharee1 Still hunting

give me a while

Zacharee1

:p

Thomas Ward

5:31 PM

and coffee

terdon

@cl-netbox I know. And those are weird: they all start with capital letters and that is just annoying when using the command line.

cl-netbox

@terdon ah, now I get what you mean ... well, as I don't use /home it's not so important for me. :)

Zanna

@terdon so true

cl-netbox

Hi @Zanna ! :) Good evening to you ! :)

Zanna

evening :)

Nathan Osman

5:46 PM

Jorge is leaving us :P

RobotHumans

Not starred because I'm happy about it. Starred, because it is relevant news that everyone should see.

TheXed

@NathanOsman I didn't know he was still here...

RobotHumans

Increases the weight on Lazypower I'm sure.

Nathan Osman

@TheXed 9 years.

Seth

@NathanOsman Why the ":P" face?

Nathan Osman

5:48 PM

I should clarify that by "us" I mean Canonical, not Ubuntu.

Seth

:(

TheXed

No I understand that..I mean like here...active on the boards and in the chat rooms...

Nathan Osman

He may still be active here.

Kubernetes runs on Linux.

Seth

He;s not active here now

Nathan Osman

He isn't?

Seth

5:49 PM

much

Nathan Osman

Ah.

@Seth Well, I mean, I wish him the best. It's sad news for one company but good news for another.

So I tried to find something between ":)" and ":(" and that one seemed to fit :P

TheXed

can you see this?

RobotHumans

Yeah, I think his work on juju etc sort of took over the time he was spending on site. He was the site robot for the longest though.

TheXed

@RobotHumans I thought @NathanOsman was the site robot?

RobotHumans

That too. I still remember that ONE time I beat out Fossy for a week XDXD

Nathan Osman

5:52 PM

Anyone familiar with "setuptools" and knows how to specify compiler flags?

TheXed

@NathanOsman nope...

@NathanOsman but did you know that if you zoom your lens on a camera while taking a long exposure it will produce some interesting effects...

Nathan Osman

@TheXed I don't have a zoom lens - too much distortion.

Seth

wat

TheXed

I need a nice prime lens but they are so expensive...

RobotHumans

@NathanOsman I used too, but I haven't used setuptools in forever.

Nathan Osman

6:01 PM

I think I figured it out.

amazon.ca/Canon-50mm-Normal-Lens-Cameras/dp/B00X8MRBCW

^--- that's the lens I have

terdon

@NathanOsman Does that work with Linux?

TheXed

It doesn't work on Nikon...

Zacharee1

@terdon ???

terdon

@Zacharee1 I wish I could have seen Nathan's face for the few seconds he spent trying to twist that into a question that made sense :P

Zacharee1

lol

Serg

6:07 PM

does that linux on work ?

Zacharee1

yes

best question ever

Serg

@Zacharee1 you . . .

Zacharee1

hehehehehe

Nathan Osman

@Zacharee1 Is that the new rickroll?

Zacharee1

idk

stole it from the Android room

Nathan Osman

6:12 PM

@Zacharee1 Also ಠ_ಠ

Zacharee1

muahahahaha

Serg

Rick-Roll is still the best

Zacharee1

I WANT ANOTHER OXYGEN NOT INCLUDED EPISODE

Serg

Zanna

@Serg wow... that's such a Jorge Luis Borges moment!

Thomas Ward

6:17 PM

@Serg wait, what? really?

Zacharee1

why tf can't I join this server to the domain?

"unspecified error" thanks

Thomas Ward

@Zacharee1 you can't join a domain controller to the domain - it is the domain

Serg

@ThomasWard ¯_(ツ)_/¯ some people just find the most creative ways to troll others

Zacharee1

@ThomasWard you can have multiple DCs in one domain though

we already have two

and the dcpromo setup just times out

Thomas Ward

well Server Fault is there for a reason, so is Super User.

they're smarter on this stuff

Serg

6:21 PM

@Zanna had to look up who that is , because i do not read any books or watch movies, aside from what small fraction i get to read at home or at work

Thomas Ward

@Zacharee1 I might have a key

Zacharee1

orly

Thomas Ward

maybe

i have to see if it's deployed anywhere first, and I won't be able to check that for a few hours

Zacharee1

kk

Zanna

@Serg yeah idk how famous he is... he wrote this short story about a library that sort of contains all possible books

Seth

6:29 PM

@Zacharee1 your school doesn't have dreamspark?

Zacharee1

what's dreamspark?

Thomas Ward

@Zacharee1 the Microsoft Imagine program, free software for students.

Zacharee1

huh

that includes Server software?

Thomas Ward

yup

Zacharee1

o_O

nope not there

Thomas Ward

6:31 PM

different Imagine programs get different versions

I may have a 2k8R2 key around, not sure if it's a valid one or not

Zanna

So this question here: askubuntu.com/questions/861027/cannot-run-executable-files is answerable I think - they just need to, I think, sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 && sudo apt update && sudo apt install libxt6:i386 but I don't want to answer it because I don't know whether they have to run ldconfig or whatever, and I can't test this... can anyone fix it?

Zacharee1

well if I get into Stevens, I can get 2008 R2 for free :p

Thomas Ward

bleh I have Enterprise but not Standard, sorry

Zacharee1

isn't Standard-->Enterprise a valid upgrade path?

@ThomasWard ^

Thomas Ward

@Zacharee1 maybe? But I don't have an upgrade key :P

Zacharee1

6:41 PM

I'd just need the product key and an installer :p

and I can download the installer

I was talking about in-place upgrading

@ThomasWard

Zanna

hey @jokerdino you are the top answerer in the new tag askubuntu.com/tags/gnome-boxes/info ;)

jokerdino

hmm, I have exactly one answer.

"How to install gnome-box?"

Thomas Ward

@Zacharee1 still needs an upgrade key and not a clean install key

they're different keys

Zacharee1

are you sure?

jokerdino

And the current version of that answer is not even mine.

Thomas Ward

6:47 PM

last i checked

but you should be asking on SF @Zacharee1

Zacharee1

@ThomasWard can I at least try?

RobotHumans

@ThomasWard to confirm, server was included in the dreamspark package I had access to at WGU. of course, the server program was in our curriculum so there was a use case

Zacharee1

yay all my RAM is back

Gmail put an email from Pat Toomey's committee in my spam folder lol

Kaz Wolfe

\o/ my office now has a steam machine! :D

Zacharee1

wat

Kaz Wolfe

6:59 PM

store.steampowered.com/sale/steam_machines

custom one of these

Zacharee1

why

Kaz Wolfe

because we're a tech company

Zacharee1

Windows Server takes forever to boot

Nathan Osman

It does?

Zacharee1

like 10 minutes

@ThomasWard ru aliv

Nathan Osman

7:08 PM

It only takes about 30 seconds on my VM.

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman idk

oh look, we finally got to the boot animation

Nathan Osman

You have really, really done something wrong.

Zacharee1

it is a server so POST takes forever

Nathan Osman

Fair enough.

Thomas Ward

@Zacharee1 i'm busy lol

Zacharee1

7:18 PM

so no

RobotHumans

sup @Mateo

Mateo

hi @RobotHumans how goes things?

RobotHumans

eh. interview with a js shop yesterday. interview went well, but they use node for everything. that's going to take getting used to. doing the skills test this weekend.

Mateo

nice

RobotHumans

nice enough. would rather it was a python shop, but it's Mac and JS... so sort of hipster I guess.

Mateo

7:44 PM

can't have everything

Zacharee1

160 updates? guh

RobotHumans

@Mateo this is true

Mateo

they put me on label printing, so I'm using a computer at work now

RobotHumans

There is that. This is a tech/manufacturing/startup to market shop. So, someone has a thing they want to do and can't execute. The shop executes. Everyone profits.

Zacharee1

26/160..........

@NathanOsman it's gonna take even longer to boot now ^

Mateo

7:51 PM

then also our church is doing a multi-touch media wall, it is going to be three 50in screens turned sideways with a touch screen overlay

Zacharee1

@UbuntuQuestionsonU&L Portuguese speakers are surprisingly high on the wrong-language-in-question frequency list

RobotHumans

@Zacharee1 Proper portuguese or brazilian portuguese? I suspect it's BR

Zacharee1

dunno

SO Russia chat is back at it

RobotHumans

quick, someone call the dems... they're trying to shut down software developers by trolling SO chat.

Zacharee1

wat

RobotHumans

7:57 PM

like they hacked the election :')

Zacharee1

lol

I have to ask; why do we have a Russian SO?

xda-developers.com/…

Samsung might use face recognition for payment auth

I really hope they don't do that...

RobotHumans

On a list of bad ideas, that has to be close to the top

Zacharee1

yup

"Hey! Let's block rooted users from NFC payments, but use face recognition to authorize payments!"

100 updates to go

RobotHumans

If it's look left look right and interpolate a 3d model, it's a lot harder, but facial recognition like "a picture works" is a problem.

Zacharee1

android-developers.googleblog.com/2017/03/… @KazWolfe

Nathan Osman

8:08 PM

There's a joke about neural networks in there somewhere.

Seth

@Zacharee1 why do we have any site?

Nathan Osman

@Zacharee1 FINALLY

Zacharee1

@Seth well I'm more wondering why Russian took priority over other languages

Seth

@Zacharee1 Well they have to hire a person for each language, so besides looking for a programming community that wasn't having its needs met on SO or elsewhere they need someone to actually do the job.

They have Portuguese, Spanish, and Russian so far.

Zacharee1

Portuguese again

Seth

8:14 PM

Oh and Japanese.

Zacharee1

whoa

Seth

But they decided they weren't going to create any more for now. It just costs too much time and money.

RobotHumans

@Zacharee1 userbase

Kaz Wolfe

8:29 PM

@Zacharee1 basically.

and why i'm so mad at android.

even if you make the tiniest change to your system, safetynet says "lol nope!"

Zacharee1

lol

well MagiskSU was working really well until I installed a custom kernel

Kaz Wolfe

you need an unlocked bootloader for that.

Zacharee1

MagiskSU?

Kaz Wolfe

which (surprise surprise) safetynet doesn't like.

pretty sure

you need custom recovery tools to install it.

Zacharee1

No I mean I have an unlocked bootloader and I was using MagiskSU, and Android Pay didn't care

Kaz Wolfe

8:31 PM

oh, well now they do

unlocked bootloaders will nuke safetynet

Zacharee1

it still worked until I put the custom kernel on, two days ago

Kaz Wolfe

doesn't work on my N5.

Zacharee1

and I've had an unlocked BL since November

@KazWolfe right now?

Kaz Wolfe

right now.

i unlock the bootloader and safetynet permanently trips

Zacharee1

you turned on SUHide in Magisk Manager?

Kaz Wolfe

8:32 PM

Without su.

Just unlocking. Absolutely nothing else.

Zacharee1

oh you need to have MagiskSU installed

it'll let you pass SafetyNet

Serg

quoting in bash can be a rocket science sometimes

Zacharee1

@Serg "\w\h\a\t\e\v\e\r\ \c\o\u\l\d\ \y\o\u\ \m\e\a\n\?"

Kaz Wolfe

i've tried.

Serg

basically that ^ with multiple layers of shells and subshells

Kaz Wolfe

8:34 PM

i need to unlock my bootloader to flash recovery to flash anything else.

Zacharee1

@KazWolfe you installed MagiskSU, turned on SUHide in Magisk Manager settings, and made sure SUHide was enabled for Android Pay?

Kaz Wolfe

The second I unlock, safetynet throws a fit.

yep.

Zacharee1

it will work

Kaz Wolfe

and i'm very hesitant to try things because i need to factory reset to get safetynet to like my device again.

safetynet is just pure evil

Mateo

oh yeah, making a website from scratch with gedit ;)

Seth

8:44 PM

o_O

Mateo

here is what the media wall looks like so far:

picture three tv's as a 85 inch touch wall

then they made a custom graphic that will be pasted to the wall behind it

Zacharee1

why are you doing this

Serg

i feel like a lot of good questions go past me

once i get to them some other answer has already been accepted

Mateo

@Zacharee1 they want to show what missions are doing with live updates and interactivity

Zacharee1

but from scratch in Gedit?

Mateo

8:49 PM

that part is for fun

;)

Seth

What happens when u wear a green tie on TV 😭 https://t.co/gAohulqeck

Tweeted by McJesse on March 16, 2017 at 9:04 PM

Mateo

anyone remember the commandline tool that sends a local server to a externally accessible address

Zacharee1

@Seth why would he wear a green tie in the first place?

Seth

@Mateo FedEx?

Mateo

I remember seeing a tool for testing

Zacharee1

8:52 PM

@Seth lol

Seth

Your question make no sense @Mateo. "sends a server"?

Mateo

totally need to write this stuff down when I see it

make a local address accessible from remote

Zacharee1

port forwarding? vpn?

Mateo

like a web service or something, temporary

Zacharee1

TeamViewer?

Seth

8:53 PM

@Mateo ssh?

Mateo

@Zacharee1 not that complicated was a one line terminal command

Zacharee1

uh

Seth

please define "local address accessible". They're always public unless you have a firewall/NAT.

how about this. What are you trying to do?

Maybe I'm just being dense.. but I have idea what you're really asking.

Mateo

so I run it local with python or node - simple server form a folder on 127.0.0.1:8000

it can be accessed on the same network

Seth

right

Zacharee1

9:00 PM

@KazWolfe so I reflashed the custom kernel and MagiskSU, and now SafetyNet passes again

Mateo

I guess something like the vagrant share command

Seth

@Mateo On your router forward 8080 to the local IP of the server. Then use your public IP to access the server.

Mateo

well, our Internet forbids running a "server" so it would have to do it like regular web traffic, otherwise I would just run it like that

Zacharee1

our ISP does the same

Seth

aha. You want to forward all your traffic over something like HTTP? or something like that.

Zacharee1

9:04 PM

I just don't use standard ports

Seth

@Zacharee1 Are they that dumb?

Zacharee1

yup

Seth

I'm not processing well today.

Mateo

hm, maybe like this

xip.io

ah, I think I found what I was talking about

Jacob Vlijm

9:24 PM

@cl-netbox now you've gone too far. WAAAAYYYY too far. Please read about orange: empower-yourself-with-color-psychology.com/color-orange.html. Now compare that to fealing blue, huh.

Mateo

ah awesome

@seth want to see it

Seth

sure

how.. is that different than just using your public IP?

Mateo

did it work?

Seth

yeah

Mateo

I guess it just forwards it...

I thought it made it easy though

ngrok.com

closing

Seth

9:33 PM

well it might be easier if you didn't have to setup port forwarding.

Kaz Wolfe

@JacobVlijm {{citation-needed}}

9:53 PM

@KazWolfe i picked another one. from bourncreative.com/meaning-of-the-color-orange:

Orange, the blend of red and yellow, is a mixture of the energy associated with red and the happiness associated with yellow. Orange is associated with meanings of joy, warmth, heat, sunshine, enthusiasm, creativity, success, encouragement, change, determination, health, stimulation, happiness, fun, enjoyment, balance, sexuality, freedom, expression, and fascination.

and

Studies show that the orange color can create physical effects such as increased hunger, heightened sense of activity, increased socialization, boost in aspiration, stimulated mental activity, increased oxygen supply to the brain, increased contentment, and enhanced assurance. Orange also helps aid decision making, and enhances happiness, confidence, and understanding.

Zacharee1

@ThomasWard I know, I'm a nag, but I still never got an answer about that key
