@Fabby Both our answers got deleted because they didn't like them on this question: askubuntu.com/questions/1093582/…

Fabby

@WinEunuuchs2Unix You rep whore! :D

@WinEunuuchs2Unix Yeah, I know... I'm wondering how mine got deleted with a score of 0 and no moderator intervention.

@Fabby I was using rep to get a software job like you have. To get out of the warehouse. It's in my BIO so it's not whoring at all :p

Q: What's the format of the debconf config.dat file?

debconf has a file at /var/cache/debconf/config.dat that contains answers to configuration questions. For example, Name: libpam-runtime/profiles Template: libpam-runtime/profiles Value: unix, systemd Owners: libpam-runtime Variables: profile_names = mkhomedir, unix, systemd profiles = activate...

@Fabby @Seth Any ideas to Fabby's comment? askubuntu.com/questions/1093582/…

@Fabby The one that makes the most money, you :p

Good Night!

Fabby

@WinEunuuchs2Unix I'm in Germany, remember? We make less than half a US salary.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@Fabby I'm pretty sure a tech guy makes twice what a warehouse guy makes.

Fabby

We'll discuss some other time and I'll give you my Telegram handle.

Good night...

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Have a good night and great day tomorrow :)

Q: OS Behaviour for not Defining cpuset for a Service

I have two services which I manage via docker-compose at Ubuntu 18.04. One of them is consuming too much CPU. So, I have enabled cpuset limit for it and did not specify a limit for other service. So, does it guaranteed that other service will always use one of the free cores or Operating System ...

PerlDuck

What?

dessert

;)

Fabby

@dessert Thanks. It was a copy-paste of a previous answer.

Going to wait for a couple of days and then close as a dupe.

(Editing original too)

@PerlDuck It just smelled wrong, thus hardware problem.

Windows drivers are just incredibly resilient: These kinds of problems i encountered regularly back in the DOS / Novell days with HP switches.

dessert

@Fabby so it’s actually ÖT?

Fabby

@dessert :D :D :D

@dessert Starred!

PerlDuck

10:15 PM

No idea what you're talking about. All those ethernet issues are riddles to me.

dessert

@Fabby thanks, but really: is it off-topic then?

Fabby

Technically it is, but it has a software solution, so I still regard it as ÔT

dessert

well played

Fabby

@dessert Gimme a minute to tell the dog to go away...

I'm dog-sitting again: Big black Labrador this time...

dessert

well then where will you sit when it goes away?

Fabby

Me? In the sofa eating peanuts?

Him? At my feet!

dessert

“dog-sitting”

I picture you on its back

Fabby

@PerlDuck I used to be a network engineer when 80% of a NetEng's job was to make cables and figure out free interrupts.

PerlDuck

@Fabby Makes sense then.

Fabby

Yeah, I know the hardware level and can still make cross-cables (though with the newer high-end NICs that is fast becoming lost knowledge as most of those NICS are auto-sensing nowadays)

@Fabby that was hilarious about emailing grandma!

Someone just downvoted my question on asking for software-recommendation. I wonder why?: askubuntu.com/questions/1098530/…

Fabby

@WinEunuuchs2Unix +1 to answer. Q already had one...

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@Fabby Thanks. But why would the question only get downvoted?

Fabby

@WinEunuuchs2Unix Don't ask a German: We're logical and don't understand neither...

WinEunuuchs2Unix

lol

Fabby

First leave a comment, then downvote unless it's so horrible that you just don't bother commenting.

(which this isn't)

WinEunuuchs2Unix

10:41 PM

yeah... it's not the first time I've got downvotes with no reason. I think I have a hater out there :p

Fabby

I knew the answer here right away

@WinEunuuchs2Unix Yeah, someone who'd like to screw you but can't because you're a eunuch...

PerlDuck

Perhaps because the calculator shipped with Ubuntu has an advanced mode and can already convert GB to MB, for instance?

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Yeah I thought you were spot on with the bounty. Mainly because you are a network expert and I'm ignorant in that area :)

Fabby

@WinEunuuchs2Unix I know why! Because you Americans are wrong!

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@PerlDuck you can enter in 500 MB or 1.2 TB you mean?

Fabby

10:43 PM

1000*1000 = 1 million

1 million * 1 million = 1 billion

1 million * 1000 = 1 milliard

PerlDuck

No. But there's a drop down for "from" and "to"

Fabby

1 billion * 1 million = 1 trillion

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Oh.. well I wasn't looking for MiB, TiB, etc based on 1024 but real millions and trillions based on 1,000

PerlDuck

Wait, "milliard" reminds me of mustard.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Fabby typed all that in less than a decasecond!

Fabby

10:45 PM

@PerlDuck Was? In Deutsch sagt man auch "Milliarden"!

But then we have to forgive them: They're still on the colonial system!

(Look it up: the imperial system was adapted, but the US decided to keep the old imperial system which was subsequently called the Colonial System by the rest of the Brits.)

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@PerlDuck You should post an answer on the Ubuntu Calculator MB, GB options. I never knew about it and I'm sure lots of people would enjoy learning about it. I'll upvote it for sure!

Fabby

Me too if you ping me!

dessert

me too!

@Fabby I confused it with "Maille Dijon mustard", in particular with the "Maille" part.

@WinEunuuchs2Unix Appealing, but I'm too tired right now. ;-)

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@PerlDuck I understand. End of a long week...

PerlDuck

Exactly. And I've not yet reached the end. Still work to do. :-(

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Bummer. I took the whole day off to save strength for company xmas party tonight :)

Reasonable. What's your local time, @WinEunuuchs2Unix ?

Is it Midnight in Germany (where I think you were from)

@PerlDuck ^^^^

PerlDuck

Even more reasonable.
Exactly. Midnight.

Is that 12 AM or PM? I never can remember.

However. I haven't had dinner yet but am hungry.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

I think 12AM is midnight and 12PM is noon.

PerlDuck

Then it's 12AM at my place.

This is a delectable answer by a new user if I must say so myself: askubuntu.com/questions/217904/…

@PerlDuck Thanks. Have a good sleep when you finally get around to it!

PerlDuck

At first I thought you wrote "deleteable" went and looked and thought what the heck?

Oh no. I'm not going to use that word again.

@Seth ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm old enough to remember the imperial system still being on the Physics curriculum in secondary school, but it just doesn't make sense.

I dunno...

@Seth Do you know what the ground rule of the metric system is?

The basis of it all?

Seth

I assume you're going for "makes sense"

but I'd say the decimal system

Fabby

1L of water at 3.8°C (highest density of water) = 1Kg = 1dm³

so why not 1L = 1g = 1m?

Seth

ohhh, right. I remember learning that back in chemistry, I think.

Fabby

well, 1 gram had to be close to 1 grain and 1 m had to be close to 1 yard and I forgot about L

So if you take 50L of petrol, your car is about 50Kg heavier.

it's just logical and you can convert weight to volume to length easier.

I mean: you could respond to: How heavy is 1m of milk?

/shrug...

OK, if I start talking about metres of milk, it's time to go to sleep...
