:) Yes, you do!
To the guy who waited for his first gold badge to enter the room
:)
it was shocking that newbies could just burst in and ask stupid questions
while an intelligent conversation was going on...
ahh. Well that's the nice thing about chat :D
I tried to get them out as soon as possible!
>:)
Just remember that not every room is like that.. Other sites might be more strict.
WaI know...
BTW, did you see my Q on SE???
oh MSE? Yeah.
00:04
The one Chili555 and Oli and me came up with?
Did you upvote??? :P
I don't remember.
:D :D :D
brb got some stuff going on now.
Doesn't matter. Got a lot of upvotes and a Diamond moderator involved...
Who wants me to edit my question...
(And I'm playing "Dumb European having a W.E.")
Until I can talk to Oli or Chili
because he actually wants me to give him a list of questions to change...
Oh, I'm more talkative then usual, as it's Friday-evening
(well, SA-morning)
So I'm allowed to have a drink...
:)
;)
That wasn't a diamond moderator, that was an SE employee ;)
00:08
aha?
Bigger than a diamond moderator!
What's the difference?
(meaning: how can I see?)
I don't work for SE, I'm a volunteer. Jay works for SE.
Oh.
(except knowing by heart)
They usually say in their profile.
00:09
OK. Missed that
oh, got to go again.
(wave)
they're all listed here too: stackexchange.com/about
@Fabby when you 're back. Writing a Q&A for Win users...
(do work, don't worry about my feelings!) ;) :P
ok, back for a minute or two (in a call, but the person I'm talking to keeps leaving to go get stuff)
So @Fabby I think you're talking about the comments in the review system right?
(I didn't get to read your whole post yet)
ahh, off-topic close reasons.
Not review comments.
00:14
:D
I don't know!
Oli told me to use the technical term "Off-topic close reasons"
But I'm talking about the philosophy of the site, so "all reasons"
right
:/
So what should I tell Jay?
;-)
What's the technical term? Oli only told me it's 400 chars and 1024 would be fantastic, but he'd settle for 512...
(smoke: BRB)
Back...
00:34
@xiaodongjie: I did the system back-up but didn't install your dock yet... :(
(bowing in shame)
What TZ are you in? WC?
sec.
it's dock's binary can be directly executed.
still in developing.
So there is no actions.
(version of today???) ;-)
:)
If you want to join to develop, I'll show you the source.
00:40
It's been nearly 15 years the last time I compiled code!
;)
Do I need sudo rights?
Running as a normal user doesn't do anything...
(from nautilus) :(
from the terminal: ./ubuntu-dock: error while loading shared libraries: libbamf3.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
sudo under admin user: same-same
(smoke: BRB)
libbamf3?
it's ubuntu's standard library.
Don't you use Ubuntu?
:) Yes!
$apt-cache search libbamf3
libbamf3-2 - Window matching library - shared library
libbamf3-dev - Window matching library - development files
(I like to keep my system clean: you can use me as an intelligent tester)
sudo apt-get install libbamf3-2
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
libbamf3-2 is already the newest version.
14.04.1 lts
Do I need dev files?
(you can treat me also as a dumb user)
^--- seems to be in libbamf3-dev
00:55
@xiaodongjie: are you writing this down? dumb users cannot even run this!
;-)
sudo apt-get install libbamf3-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:

:(
rm ./ubuntu-dock
(for the moment; until you want another test)
@NathanOsman: thanks! (I was on the same track as you, but you, young buck, was quicker!) ;-)
When packaging this for Debian / Ubuntu, you won't have to worry about this since the dependencies will automatically be determined by the libraries the binary is linked against.
(Assuming the packaging is set up correctly.)
01:11
>:) (was busy in gedit)
Developer ran away... ;-)
(probably screaming 'cause of such dumbness!) :D
j0h
j0h
is there anything special about tmux?
or can i do everything the same as in multple ordinary terminals
I wan to do this:
wget -qO- http://get.elabftw.net|sh
@Mateo_ - runner up means you get a prize? or is it more of an honorable mention?
@hbdgaf Yep, so kind of like tied for fifth, but I get a backpack, T-shirt and laptop sleeve
I wish he would have gotten one of the new phones that'll be coming out in under a month...
\o/ for the backpack
01:25
Unfortunately: Spanish company, so now us EU get to play!
@Fabby I wouldn't bitch about what I didn't get. I'ld find a part that I would find useful.
(as the nexus is not available here)
I would have given you hard currency for the phone.
(€€€)! ;-) :P
Actually, did you see the latest Xchg rates?
USD moving up!!!
(a lot)
:)
I'm going to try and buy one if they ship here, since I don't need the data compatibility
You've got T-Mobile?
Yep
01:28
Good man!
Works everywhere in the world!
(you a traveller?)
It should still do the 2g they say
@Fabby onceonce, and maybe future
I'm waiting and reserving judgement till I have one in my warm, sweaty paalms
@Fabby That surprises me given petrol being down and USD usually using petrol as a buoy to stabilize the currency.
Not really: the USD is used to trade petrol everywhere in the world....
so if the $ goes down, you just export less paper...
Chrome, on android is messing up stuff
01:31
but the total amount being traded stays the same...
so your deficit will go up, but that takes a while...
(anyway: I'm not an economist!)
(I'm into exact science)
And before you go harping on about computer science...
...that's NOT an exact science!
:D ;-) :P
More like magic...
BLACK magic! :D :D :D
@Fabby that's what i meant. as an index, petrol is usually constantly up, so USD uses it to buoy the currency. exporting currency means the dollar is competitive because you "have" to buy it. see the point?
as long as developing countries need to increase their reserves of USD, it goes up
if there is fear that something might happen, the USD goes up
regardless of the oil price...
that's fair. i was looking at it another way.
Smoke! BRB!
Back...
BTW: do you have an account on SE.com?
If yes, did you see the Q Chili, Oli and me came up with?
It could (meta.stackexchange.com/questions/247169/…) use another upvote!

Q: How to start a custom service

MagioI'm very new to Linux and the solution might be easy so excuse me for that. I'm trying to run an application called EnCase Remote Recovery, which basically takes a remote image of a system. In order to that, a "servlet" must be deployed on the remote machine. I don't care if the servlet started ...

I'm reminded of what Jane, a little older lady I used to talk to as a teenager, used to say. When referencing arguments with her husband - she always referenced the thought: "Use your words. Men use less words than women generally speaking. Thus, the communicate less. You're going to die with all those words you didn't use still in you. You may as well spend them. TELL ME."
02:04
@hbdgaf: you're talking to me?
(sorry, I was in the review queue)
I've got a really excellent carrier up here. For an extra few $$$ a month, I could have had unlimited US roaming. But I haven't travelled south in many years.
I already have unlimited data here at home.
@Fabby yeah. it was related to that question ;)
:D
OK...
What we're trying to do is to change the standard close reasons in the entire StackExchange network.
@NathanOsman: did you vote for this yet?
I know, and I gave it an uptick. I just don't see it happening. I thought I would inject and anecdote to lighten the mood.
(and "we" is Oli, Chili and me)
Tell me!
02:12
@Fabby Sure.
Because a diamond mod is asking me intelligent questions and I'm dumb!
>:)
(or: inexperienced in some stuff here)
Thanks for retracting the dumb card. I hate it when people play the I'm dumb card.
>:)
Compared to you, I'm dumb when it comes to the SE stuff! (my lord..., shuffles away backwards...)
:D :D :D
:P :P :P
>.< thank yous retracted
:D
It's a cultural thing... In Britain, acting extremely deferential is the ultimate insult! ;-)
Now, I need some more fuel... Filling up the last one, then listening to you and hopefully remembering tomorrow!
02:17
@Fabby well if that's the case, well played i suppose.
It's like saying: "I'm a bit cross with you"
Would translate into American English as:
"I'm mad at you"
UK: I'm quite upset
US: I'm livid!
Yeah, I got that. It doesn't get my hackles up. There's a finer point on it in the US. It's less like generally being deferential and more like "sure. we'll do it how you want to do it. it's fine. how do YOU want to do it. let's just do that."
^^ that's never a good thing to answer with how you actually want to do it.
I'm not British, and really, I like the American way better then the back-stabbing British way.
(well, not really back-stabbing, but sometimes it feels that way)
(until you get used to it)
Anyway: back to the old lady!
(before my glass is empty!) :P ;)
You were going to teach me something!
?
Not really. I was trying to carry on a conversation. I don't see where this one is going, and I really need to be working on something else anyway.
02:33
@Fabby Is your MSE question about just the off-topic close reasons?
:) Good night! I'm off!
Looks like the other ones all say please..
I asked Oli...
@Seth ... for the technical term
and the said (20 secs)
Off-Topic Close Reasons
I meant "whatever reasons"....
I'm a little confused. Are you talking about close reasons (the thing you choose when you think a question needs to be closed) or comments that get posted from review or the pro-forma comment script?
Anything that doesn't contain "Please" and "We're sorry, but ..."
If you mean by "pro-forma comment script" the add-on that doens't work on AU, then no
the first two I suppose
Why?
Does that make a difference? I know there are site-wide ones and AU ones....
02:37
I think people are just a little confused about what you're getting at.
But we can talk about it tomorrow if you want :)
Dinner time here, even later in the UK (which I guess is where you are?)
But to the philosophy of being polite
it doesn't matter.
It's FRIDAY
I'm having a drink!
Who cares how late it is as long as there's fuel to keep me going????
:)
(and now I'm more honest)
(and also more talkative, i've been told)
Quid?
You hungry?
(then I'm going to bed!) ;-)

Oh crap...
https://github.com/valvesoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/3671

figure out the absolute path to the script being run a bit
# non-obvious, the ${0%/*} pulls the path out of $0, cd's into the
# specified directory, then uses $PWD to figure out where that
# directory lives - and all this in a subshell, so we don't affect
# $PWD

STEAMROOT="$(cd "${0%/*}" && echo $PWD)"
STEAMDATA="$STEAMROOT"
This probably returns as empty which mean: rm -rf "$STEAMROOT/"* is the same ass rm -rf "/"*.
AND GONE IS YOUR SYSTEM
that doesnt look like something good
Nope. It effectively removes everything from / set to the USER so that includes /home/
@Virusboy can you star my next message? so everyone gets to see this :D
done
NEXT I said :D
09:11
lol
**warning** steam can do an rm -rf / from their script! see https://github.com/valvesoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/3671 due to a
STEAMROOT="$(cd "${0%/*}" && echo $PWD)"
STEAMDATA="$STEAMROOT"

when you are redy
there @Virusboy ^
thanks
got it
go ahead and make that a wiki entry as well
wiki? oh you mean topic on AU
09:14
@NathanOsman are you here? need some help :D
just make a note and click community wiki
ok
never done that :=D
You would ask a question then answer it. Under that Answer box should be a clickable box called Community wiki
dang. same happens on Windows D:
show me the code
then i need to sleep
09:42
"Warning:
The uninstallation process deletes the folder Steam was installed to to ensure it is fully uninstalled. If you accidentally installed Steam to a folder containing other data, for example C:\Program Files\ instead of C:\Program Files\Steam\, STOP! Do not run the uninstaller and instead carefully follow the instructions below for Manually Removing Steam, except only delete Steam-related files in step 3."
@Virusboy how is this

A: Steam install can erase my home. How to prevent it?

RinzwindThe problem starts around line 19 in the script "steam.sh.": STEAMROOT="$(cd "${0%/*}" && echo $PWD)" STEAMDATA="$STEAMROOT" $STEAMROOT can become empty here effectively making the rm -rf "$STEAMROOT/"* further into the script the same as rm -rf "/"*. There are patches showing up. Easiest:...

now how to make it wiki :D
10:11
@muru Really! Everywhere! :(
fabby! :D
@muru I'll delete the question and move the answer there!
'mogge!
@Rinzwind Wow. that is terrible scripting xD

Q: How to bind arduino as a fix block-device --- /dev/ttyACM0?

shekhar sumanI want to bind my Arduino Mega as /dev/ttyACM0. Sometimes, it turns out to be /dev/ttyACM0 and sometimes as /dev/ttyACM1. I have taken help from this question and this tutorial Someone please help me to achieve that as there are only 2 entries in /etc/udev/rules.d :- 20-crystalhd.rules 98...

sure is _O-
my eyes where tearing up when I read it _O-
10:13
You saw it too?
even now I can't help but cry and giggle and go "w t f did I read"
someone downvoted my topic on it on AU :*
Nevermind, I read the reddit thread
lol
I missed that :*
now we wait for someone who installed steam as root :X
Why did they even leave this in even though they had complete knowledge of it.
power puff girls would never coded something like that
10:30
@Rinzwind stunning bug, right? :D
@Fabby Up to you.. Or you can wait for someone to vote-close and see how it plays out. :P
10:43
that's not a bug. that is incompetence :P
11:08
Muru: OK. thank you for the feed-back. I'll revisit the Q&A in a couple of days anyway.
@Rinzwind Have you ever been sad that you got a bounty?
BTW: how do I get the link to an answer? or a comment to an answer or question?
11:28
@Fabby see the "share"
underneath the answer and the question
:D
I found it without the dummy eddition! ;-)
Thanks!
