@Braiam Why'd you protect that?
@Seth I think it's a disconnect on the word thanks being in a comment and what the protect usage is built to serve.
well... he does tell him to do something?

Hi everyone
@Braiam I don't "like" the answer, but devilspie automatically sending it to another desktop/workspace could cause that problem.
What is this the dog has come thing. I've seen it more than once.

I have a apt repo hosted on s3, can approx or apt-cacher-ng or squid-deb-proxy fetch pakages from s3, cache them and then serve them to clients?
Yes. I think it's a question here already.
I don't like it either, but I doesn't seem to be quite a comment..
@APZ yes I think it can. Hang on...
@APZ Nathan Osman wrote a cool article that I think does what you want: 2buntu.com/1388/saving-bandwidth-with-apt-cacher-ng
mm... for my POV that answer doesn't give a definitive solution rather than "start poking around and see if it gets fixed"
@hbdgaf @JourneymanGeek ;)
>_>
I'm here, I'm here!
Yes, but it does point at devilspie. I would be more inclined to nuke it if there wasn't an upvote indicating that someone found it useful.
00:15
Like someone said, spam due in an hour or two..
?? wat ??
@Seth how did my chat messages get reparented and edited? that feels odd.
@hbdgaf The spammer said he'd be back today. So if he didn't mean trolling chat like you know who, he should start up soon.
@Seth I don't know if I should be happy about that...
@hbdgaf What?
@hbdgaf there is stuff floating around about a dog named zalgo and a creepy picture of a dog smiling
00:17
@hichris123 I'd rather he didn't come back, but meh. Phasers can vaporize spam.
@Seth set phasers on stun
@Braiam backup? restore?
when doing meme research, i check the first three images on google images and use the one that seems most relevant... which seems counter to logic for the dog has come. i get this:
user image

@hichris123 I like maximum setting better.

00:19
@Seth this makes sense but I think I was not able to explain myself. I have clients with this is their sources.list deb http://approx:9999/smm-apt saucy non-free . On server side approx has this in its config: smm-apt s3://key:[email protected]/bucket . I want something like this, where apt-repo is on s3 and I am caching it before giving it to the requesting clients
@hbdgaf lol, well... here is the knowyourmeme page knowyourmeme.com/memes/smilejpg
Quick and painless when it comes to spam, but I'm getting ahead of myself.
@Seth Heh, I've never seen them do maximum. :P
APZ
APZ
@Seth Was wondering if this is even possible
Hi,
APZ
APZ
00:20
@Seth I am using s3-apt protocol, github.com/kyleshank/apt-s3
@APZ saucy + non-free????
aka Ubuntu + Debian D:
Can someone please suggest me some good book on advance shell scripting (print version) ?
APZ
APZ
@Braiam haha yeah its all fun and games till now ( testing stuff)
@User42 which shell? or all shells?
BASH
00:21
@APZ I haven't tried it myself, but I suggest you talk to @NathanOsman
He comes here in the evening sometimes.
Or ask a Q on the site.
@User42 there's a print version of this: tldp.org/LDP/abs/html and it's decent.
APZ
APZ
@Seth ok, thanks for this
@Seth Ping me if there's actually spam.
@hbdgaf beat me to it.
00:22
@Seth Me too.
@hichris123 @Undo I've got a class tonight, so I'll probably miss all the action :-/
Oh
Aww, you'll miss the fun.
@Seth master always say forgiveness is divine, but never pay full price for late pizza.
@hbdgaf - 900 pages :O , thanks :)
00:23
@Braiam You've done a lot of edits on AU.
@User42 it's pretty good... really. i read it when i was in my teens.
my blood pressure. how about you?
lol, nice
i use it often
00:25
@hbdgaf Why? Spammers agin?
I tend to use "The sky and Gas prices"
not yet... but lots of little things.
aj
*ah
Good grief...How to Train Your Dragon xD so dumb and yet so fun :)
I prefer girl with the dragon tattoo, but that was probably an inappropriate segway
Mucho differenco there :P
@hbdgaf which version of the movie did you like better
00:28
Anyone here watch The Ben Heck Show on Youtube?
@Mateo I watched the Swedish version first, and it held more strongly to the book... which I read in the interim. So lots of factors, but I didn't need a Kreig remix to do away with subtitles and a language you can almost understand without knowing it if you really listen.
they were really close, I think the new one gave it away (may have been because I saw the other first) but I think they put too many hints in
@hichris123 huh? why?
@Braiam Like over a thousand edits...
@Mateo They were both decent pieces of cinematography. I just had bias. I don't usually read books before I watch movies on purpose.
think Jurassic Park
00:34
"It's a Unix System, I know This!"
you made me laugh a little... but no. i was more thinking the gender changing dinosaurs and checking population etc etc. seemed more well done in the book.
that clip connects to the tar use your unix bomb disarm from xkcd for me
all the little details
Oh, somebody has been playing with UTF-8 ¬¬
again
@Seth know the answer? askubuntu.com/q/397660/169736
I don't know what is going on with chat pings, they are not working
00:48
@Lucio ping
I'm here... Sorta...
I'm actually on the bus standing up and writing this with one hand while holding on for dear life with the other.
I would hold for dear smartphone in my country too... moving on...
I'm in here, reading messages, and trying to play Ingress all at the same time.
...........
seriously, we need a higher bar for creating tags... wth is "steganography"?
I can answer that.
It's the process of embedding information within media without leaving the appearance that it contains information.
01:00
@Braiam hiding messages in images... but I don't think the question he used it on was that technique
Yeah, @Mateo's explanation is simpler.
I think I didn't scoped correctly the question, let me try again...
what have "steganography" to do with Ubuntu?
so wouldn't shoving zips into a new image - just create a garbage image? or is working on a preexisting image...
@Braiam how to do it? on ubuntu...
01:03
primally opinion based askubuntu.com/q/204015/169736
@Mateo err... ok, how I can construct a boat while using Ubuntu?
use gimp to draw out the plans, find a 3d printer that works with ubuntu, print out models, then use your cpu heat sink as a hammer.
@Mateo exactly, any possible (good) answer is too long. Those are bad questions.
@Mateo: it's tricky. But think of an uncompressed bitmap. If you adjust the least significant bit of each pixel value, you can store data equal to one-eighth the size of the bitmap without it being obvious that the image has changed.
btw, only 670 views in 1 year, delete votes askubuntu.com/q/165677/169736 @Rizwind @Takkat @NathanOsman?
Why delete?
01:08
@NathanOsman bad (dupe) question ;)
@NathanOsman that is not what he was describing... so the steganography tag had nothing to do with the question
also is breaking redirection...
> Closed questions that are of no lasting value whatsoever should be flagged and deleted.
@jrg you may want to do something about this askubuntu.com/q/103054/169736
@NathanOsman btw, I'm removing the tutorial tag (we decided long ago it was a bad tag), so I'm also evaluating the questions with the tag
01:55
@Braiam that one worked, but this one doesn't. I think because of the date
@Braiam I think that one is fine, no need to delete it.

> Closed questions that are of no lasting value whatsoever should be flagged and deleted.
Bah.
Besides, someone took the time to add a good answer that has value.
if you want you can vote to reopen it... I want it deleted... :)
I would ask another question that really attract attention
It's a shopping question, off-topic, but it does have lasting value
01:58
> 670 views in 1 year...
IMO.. none
@Braiam That's good enough for me.
ok
keep your eyes out for spam, I'm AFK for the next couple of hours.

Canonical answers:
- You should totally drop that and try jQuery
- You should totally drop that and try Firefox
- You should totally drop that and try The Gimp

O_O
02:16
lol
02:52
running about deleting things willy nilly despite on or off-topicness is a mistake. if it's good, but off-topic it could be useful to someone. even if it hasn't been yet, google doesn't filter search results soleley based on previous page views.
@hbdgaf the answer actually doesn't fill something that isn't already there, is just a bunch of links to outside/inside resources... If I delete all links, the answers lose all their value
I'm weighing several things already and none have been a plus to keep the Q around
03:24
bloody cache.. your killing me!

Q: How do we feel about Questions that boils down to requests of learning materials/resources?

BraiamThis may be on the same line of this kind of a recent discussion on Unix & Linux about the same topic. Today/Yesterday/the day before (depends when you read this) I was cleaning the tutorial tag. In fact we are not a site to ask for tutorials but to ask questions, but well, that was good and all...

03:42
What would be the value of S.M.A.R.T. diagnostics on an SSD?
All of the mechanical attributes would be useless.
@NathanOsman apparently something useful serverfault.com/a/10336/180142
@NathanOsman: in theory a bad cluster count would be useful
^---- only Best Buy could mess up a product description that bad.
04:00
@NathanOsman why?
Most people buy them to decrease startup times.
oh, right
I could have write that :P
¯_(ツ)_/¯
I'm going to ask in servers.SE \o/
they have HTTPS by default \S/
@NathanOsman what.
5 mins ago, by Nathan Osman
Most people buy them to decrease startup times.
i know that.
04:25
Doesn't the serverfault.SE have chat?
Yup, they do.
Anyone with a Windows box can have some fun.
Open Notepad and paste the following in a file:
X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*
Save it as "test.com" and double click the file.
hmm...
05:18
lol
eicar!
@NathanOsman a lot of AV will delete it AS SOON AS you save it
@JourneymanGeek Yup.
(I once spent... a whole 5 minutes trying to create a test payload for something cause of that)
05:37
So, did I miss any you know what?
@NathanOsman The stuff from monty python, you know ahem and eggs...
Anyone know how to delete a schema in dconf? Especially from the command line. I don't see an obvious way.
ahh Shoulder of Pork And haM?
05:52
@JourneymanGeek Yes. Did anyone see any?
There was a bunch across the SE network, but I didn't see any here.
@JourneymanGeek Awesome.
@Seth: the stricter rules probably helped
@JourneymanGeek Yeah hopefully. Tim tweaked them even more today. The only spam reported was that magic one..
(and heh, distracted. Rooting my old phone ;))
05:54
@JourneymanGeek Fun fun fun. Gonna ROM too?
@Seth: probably
its a HTC One V GSM. Need to see what's out there ;p
(and heh, the new phone is nice too)
ooh.. that is old.
I have worse though :P
only a year and half
still runs, more or less.
new phone is a moto G
so, I'm trading off having an SD card for... twice the built in space, more ram, better screen, newer version of android with the prospect of it being supported longer
05:57
Oh, I love Motorola. What do you think?
sameish camera res
@Seth: <3
It almost dosen't feel like a cheap phone
@JourneymanGeek Awesome! It's the only one I'll likely ever be able to afford so..
@JourneymanGeek Also: rootandroid.net/cyanogenmod-10-port-for-htc-one-v-cdma-and-gsm not official, but Cyanogen is the BEST and 10 is Jelly Bean I think.
yeah, I'm looking at that ;p
05:59
oh lol
Someone ported Ubuntu Touch to the Nexus 5, I heard.
Sounds like a lot of stuff doesn't work though.
...and the display gets incorrectly identified as "tablet-sized".
@JourneymanGeek oh that's much better.
@NathanOsman I was hopping that would happen.
Of course, after what happened last time, I don't plan to actually try it out.
I can't risk voiding the warranty on a $500 $469 purchase.
@NathanOsman: precisely why I waited to get a new phone to tru this ;p

The Indian TeamWe've executed our first slowloris attack test on AskUbuntu. There were just slightly slowed web resources, but not very much to act as a predominant factor to the users using it. We'll get back later to test another attack before the real one comes. AskUbuntu server is IIS8 and we've found ...

Q: Tag merge request: log and logging

kalinaThe following tags need merging together: log logging These tags are both being used for questions about logging.

@blade19899 see my previous post :=)
slow poke!
@Rinzwind, lol
09:27
ha its gone
community for the win
Oli
Oli
@blade19899 Make sure you use the spam flag in the future. It's a special flag that the system uses to automatically block people.
hey Oli! :D
@oli, i did ;)
Oli
Oli
@blade19899 Hmm, it looked like a custom flag message
@blade19899 be careful he can check it :D
09:31
i didn't get the "its a spam" option
but only the custom box showed
that means you are too late :=D
Ah yeah, it already got deleted.
I flag 1st then post here >:D
free flags for all
fossy!
09:34
@fossfreedom, saw a post of your plugin on webupd8
you shout - we nuke. fun
:) cheers
But, gotta do some actual real life work know... FML.
Bye 0/
@fossfreedom beer time already?
09:36
honest - I'm working - not really here
503 more rep and Ill be on 55555 :=D
take a screen-shot when you get there - nice number!
naa all I want is to keep in front of Luis :=D
66666 is nicer :=D
sigh. why can I not find a nice question to answer :-P
 
2 hours later…
11:14
@fossfreedom are you present?
can you destroy or retag this: askubuntu.com/questions/124786/…
with mount, ntfs
same again
that should be the access tag dead
would you also be able to create access as a synonym of microsoft-office?
sorry - back again. The dupe is not for ntfs so the tag is not appropriate. I'll do the mount tag though
second one done.
11:29
np, first tag out of the lot done
I would prefer "access" to die - MS Access isnt really appropriate for ubuntu.
access is dead
the synonym is for its common use
since there is a microsoft-office tag, adding the synonym will only make it more obvious when questions are mistagged with it if the situation arises in the future

Q: Tag merge request: accounts and users

kalinaWe have two tags: users - For questions related to users, user accounts, user permissions or guest accounts. accounts - Questions that relate to an area (or home directory), in which a user can store files pertaining exclusively to that user's activities Since these tags both cover the same t...

Throw the synonym request on Meta - I'm dubious that its used in common parlance to mean "MS Office" - more of a "how do I get to somewhere". access would be a synonym on "super user " since it is more windows orientated.

Q: Style issue: font alignment with certain styling

kalinaWhile doing some editing today, I've noticed the following issue with the style used on Ask Ubuntu: This issue occurs when using either italic or bold italic text, ie: ***group***. It is not evident in the preview but is noticeable once posted to the site. I cannot reproduce this issue on meta...

@AskUbuntuMeta @kalina only on the main site?
I only see it on the main site
ok...
@fossfreedom why I get this post on the flag queue? askubuntu.com/questions/411947/i-have-2-ftp-servers-running/… is removed already :/
looks like a bug - flags should be autoremoved if the OP deletes his/her flagged Q/A
12:21
possibly intended because otherwise you can clear flags that way by deleting and undeleting the posts
yep, I just mortarboarded off suggesting edits

Q: Can the tag suggestion help-text be changed?

don.joeyAt present the tag suggestion help-text is (note the 11.04): at least one tag such as (11.04 networking command-line), max 5 tags This is problematic for two reasons: it encourages people to add the version of Ubuntu they are using even though it might not be relevant it needs to be upd...

hmm...did the bar get an update? Cause it looks like it got a slight tweak ...
It looks horrible as always

Also, this question appears to be a dupe but I wasn't sure, as the dupe is 12.04
