When I find that a question is duplicate, I just caste a vote to close it. But sometimes I've got another answer to that question, in that case first I vote to close then I post my answer on the original question (old one), like here. the other situation is when I think it's not a duplicate or I ...

it seems files are saved in blocks of 4KiB I see some (9.7, 12) (15.2, 16) (for (total size, size on disk)) even for small files

3:53 PM

Yes, that is true.

@caub yes though the blocksize can be different on different OS's.

Can we get this weird thing at least closed and deleted? askubuntu.com/q/928781/367990

Hello :)

Olleh!

@ByteCommander -11 _O- lowest I ever have seen probably _O-

people should have flagged that as spam :X

and gone with a -14

@Rinzwind Rinzy ! :)

@Rinzwind I've done just that :D

4:50 PM

The Word Taekwondo Federation just decided to change its name D:

I wonder why _O- _O- WTF.

Is there a command to find my pc spec ? CPU, GPU, RAM, motherboard

hardinfo

@Rinzwind is it normal that in the processor tab, I've 4 of them with different frequencies ?

I assume those are my cores but it's weird they have different freq

-Processors-
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4720HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz : 3573,00MHz
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4720HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz : 3523,00MHz

looks like they are "live".

a 2nd time they show different freqs

not for me though :

Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU 760 @ 2.80GHz : 1333,00MHz
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU 760 @ 2.80GHz : 1333,00MHz

Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU 760 @ 2.80GHz : 2133,00MHz

always like this, which I find weird because yours were in the same ballpark

only 4? >:-D

and a i5? :=)

yeah :( gonna upgrade soon

from 2010

lol

mine if from 2015 :=)

I'm gonna go with some ryzen cpu, I heard good things about those

5:06 PM

@Ced that would be a risky decision ... :D

Why is that ?

@Ced because some things are not sorted out, especially for linux :)

@Rinzwind I have nearly the same :)

@cl-netbox hmm with the 4.10 kernel it should be fine to use a ryzen(?)

@Rinzwind SHOULD is the magic word ! :D

@cl-netbox there are no guarantees with linux :=D

5:10 PM

@Rinzwind If @Ced is not a troubleshooting expert, he'd better stick with intel :)

bytey!

@Ced stick to intel :=D

for the graphic stuff I boot windows anyway

@Ced what ??? :D :D :D

@Ced why? >:=D If I can get away never using windows anyone should be able to :X

With wine ?

5:13 PM

@Ced With vodka ! :D

lol

@Ced that crap will never be installed.

Adobe After Effect isn't on linux

Then don't use it >:-D

@Rinzwind THAT @Ced ! Follow Rinzy's advice ! :D

5:14 PM

Or... I boot window and use it

virtualbox :-)

It's not an advise it's an hitlerian view

@Ced Or you wipe Windows and use a spyware-free OS ... :D

@cl-netbox stop pushing arch onto people >:=D

I've the sentiment you guys are anti windows fanatics

5:16 PM

@Rinzwind arch ??? am I panda ??? :D :D :D @ParanoidPanda come here and help Rinzy ... hahaha :D

@Ced not me :=D

What if I want to play games then?

@Ced what ??? :D

I don't play them is the answer ?

Playstation

5:17 PM

ok you must be trolling now

I have a PS 1, PS 2 EU, PS 2 US, PS 3 and PS 4 hooked onto a beamer ;)

and no :=) no trolling

I play Baldurs Gate on Linux :D

@Ced you can do that in ubuntu for example ... :)

@Ced steam <3

but you need a good video card.

@Rinzwind There had been worse than -11.

find me one :=D

YES 8-0 :=D

5:19 PM

@Ced no ... you can install additional drivers if needed :)

Q: How do I open .exe in ubuntu without wine or any other windows compatibility layer?

-27

I tried to open some .exe files with wine, like Minecraft team extreme. It ran, but it was lagging too much! How do I run an .exe file without Windows/DOS/Wine?

windows wine

enough?

VAC doesn't even work on linux

you know, steam VAC

@ByteCommander nice

Q: Run FireFox as root as always without password

second lowest, not deleted one is this

How i can run firefox as root from launcher in ubuntu 14.04 always without password ?

5:20 PM

@ByteCommander Bytey ! :)

@Ced cheater!

Hey that'd be paradoxal

I can see in the output of the program I have 740 millions transistors, how much do you have ?

@ByteCommander *shudder*

6:34 PM

@ByteCommander oh man

@Rinzwind is that the follow up to the pyramid one?

So @NathanOsman you say you don't like the new Twitter layout? Try the new Skype Android app

You're a week late :P

This UI is worse than Snapchat

@NathanOsman you have time soon to work on the chat?

@TheWanderer there was a single episode after that and before this. This was #1 of a 2-part.

So it's the latest >_>

yeah. best episode ever in my list. This beat the previous #1 Blink :D

Oh wow.

and I tend to hate 2 parters.. always too many cliffhangers :(

8:29 PM

You're totally not making me even more envious.

the episode is going to be on the torrent list in a few hours.
Mosttimes 5 hours after it ended

I like to watch them rather legally...

I don't think I have had so many W T F's in 1 DW episode :X

Ooh it's got Cybermen

if it were a piece of code, that would be a bad sign

8:32 PM

@TheWanderer yeah. and it began with the start of a regeneration. It did not finish so might be comming back later in the series. and a companion that turned cyberman. and is has both missy and the master in it.

huh, both? how is that possible?

I gotta watch it

@ByteCommander wibbly wobbly timey wimey

@ByteCommander yeah well .. I said it has the most WTFs in the episode didn't I?

Stupid autocorrect

it also has a time paradox in the episode (it plays on a spaceship that is heading away from a black hole) so the 1st bit of it has a different time flow than the last bit of it.

8:35 PM

That's almost scientifically accurate

Good job BBC

oh from what I saw it was scientifically perfect.

@ByteCommander you really need to download all the DWs so you can catch up :=D

OH DAMN -> theregister.co.uk/2017/06/23/windows_10_leak/?mt=1498253881949

Exclusive A massive trove of Microsoft's internal Windows operating system builds and chunks of its core source code have leaked online.

The data – some 32TB of official and non-public installation images and software blueprints that compress down to 8TB – were uploaded to betaarchive.com, the latest load of files provided just earlier this week. It is believed the confidential data in this dump was exfiltrated from Microsoft's in-house systems around March this year.

That's bad :(

So does that mean Windows is open source now? :D

No it means the source is open ;-) not that it is open source :D

Darn they're taking the files down

ok back tomorrow :)

8:57 PM

@Rinzwind They're airing the whole 2005+ remake, this week I watched "Fear her" (with the girl that makes kids disappear by drawing them) and the two episodes before that. Next week is probably Rose's last episode.

9:38 PM

@NathanOsman go to APKMirror and download Skype 7 from there. Uninstall Skype 8 then install 7. Back to a working UI

fun fact: there have been a total of 70 suggested edits on Ask Ubuntu Meta

Well you can't edit meta posts, so the only things that go to that queue are tag edits.

ever, yes.

wait, you can't edit metaposts? what?

I think he means suggest edits to Meta posts

Did you all hear about the Windows 10 source code leak?

oh yes the open parenthesis

3 hours ago, by Rinzwind

OH DAMN -> https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/06/23/windows_10_leak/?mt=1498253881949

nope.

windows source code was not leaked/hacked.

Microsoft just confirmed it.

nothing outside of the Shared Source Kit was released - microsoft.com/en-us/sharedsource

11:11 PM

theverge.com/2017/6/24/15867350/…

(which anyone can actually get with a bit of work)

the only thing in that leak that wasn't already available were likely a few internal ARM builds for testing.

with some debugging symbols which might make it easier for modding Windows

Ah.

Debugging symbols are still downloadable directly from MS if you know what you're doing/signed a NDA/qualify for a few more things.

Which, again, anyone can do with a bit of work.

does anyone else get annoyed with so-called "donation" packages that are required for certain features?

it's not a donation if it's in exchange for a service

11:15 PM

"donation" is a marketing term.

@NathanOsman From that article:

> [...] but the source code itself is already shared with partners, enterprises, governments, and other customers who choose to license it through the Shared Source initiative.

orly

we can get the source?

6 mins ago, by Kaz Wolfe

(which anyone can actually get with a bit of work)

wow

@TheWanderer microsoft.com/en-us/sharedsource/…

so Windows is POSS? paid open source software

11:20 PM

I wouldn't say that.

POSS implies you can get access from buying the code, and contribute back.

Windows is POS?
