@IanC idk, I've gotten pretty far in Dualingo just through my Spanish knowledge. And my Chilean Spanish teacher says she can understand Portuguese and her Portuguese friends can understand her Spanish.
 
@TheWanderer understand yeah, but speaking it properly is another deal. Because they are similar it's easy to think you know a word and say it wrong, which doesn't happen with other more distinct languages, where either you know the word or you don't
it's just my opinion anyways, but in matters of understanding each other spanish and portuguese are very alike for sure. You can't put a russian and a brazillian in the same room and expect them to understand each other straight ahead, but you can expect a spanish and a brazillian to at least comunicate :p

@Videonauth Huh? not even 2? I thought you had no board wide enough for 3!
@ByteCommander Flu???
 
12:51 PM
yes i have no board actually fitting exactly
 
probably just a heavy cold, but it lasted for a whole week already anyway
 
@Videonauth So how many monitors are you using right now?
 
using two right now but will on monday make a board i have shorter, it is simply to large to fit
right now 2
the new ones well and my tablet
 
@ByteCommander Urgh... Not severe enough to stay home, severe enough to impact work!
@Videonauth Ah! Good!!!
 
my tablet is actually dvdi-d 0 so the bootmessages wont be seen at tall unless i switch it on lol

@Fabby I stayed home
 
OK, I'm outta here going to buy dessert and a few odds and (grocery) ends

I had almost 40 temp on Tuesday, I think
 
@ByteCommander For a cold? I've got 5 sick days in 30 years of career now.
@ByteCommander That's something else than a cold!!!
 
/shrug
 
12:55 PM
sounds more than a cold; probably flu.
 
dunno, it's almost over so I don't care
go get your dessert ;) :P
 
It was a weird one this year: no (or very little) joint aches, but temp fluctuating badly.
Good idea!
TTYL8R!

Hey I wonder, does sudo propegate? If I call a (bash) script with root privileges, which then calls a python script - does this python script have root privelges? (In other words, can it write to normally inaccessible locations?)
 
yes
sudo runs your bash script as a different user, i.e. the root user by default
whatever happens inside that script happens as root then, including running other scripts
hm? I heard a ping...
 
1:44 PM
I'm creating a "server setup generator", which is supposed to setup our nginx + nodejs server "from scratch"; from a freshly installed ubuntu server image on a docker. -- Now I'm contemplating how to actually "get" the setup script on the server. Goal is to minimize the amount of commands one has to remember/write out oneselves.

Q: raised flag - cooled off - now want to temper it / edit it -- what can I do?

marklingI raised a flag. I asked for a post to be deleted. After a cooling off period, I reasoned that the poster had clearly dedicated a lot of time to answering their question, in a great attempt to be helpful. The answer was, imho, unhelpful. But on reflection, this is not reason enough to delete it....

@Fabby if you get the password wrong 3 times it gives you a number, if you enter that number here bios-pw.org you can bypass the password.

Q: Cinnamon Mint - I HATE snap!

tedI do not want the desktop to automatically do anything at all when I move a window to the top edge. I don't want it to tile. I don't want it to expand to the whole desktop. If I want to change the size of a window, I will. I really hate this snapping nonsense. There's no reason to get into a...
