@Fabby good night!

Zacharee1

@HeatherBrown did you take a look at the new header? (blank looks really bad BTW)

Zacharee1

00:33

Oli

@HeatherBrown I suggest you replace all the http:// in your css file with //.

// means "using the same protocol as were currently using". So if you're https it'll try to connect with https. In this case that'll mean your Google Fonts load over https so they won't be blocked by browsers.

You also seem to be using full URLs to everything, even local stuff. Relative links are fine and forgo all this protocol nonsense (it assumes same protocol).

For example, <form method="post" action="https://www.browntech.tk/mail.php"> becomes <form method="post" action="/mail.php">. <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://www.browntech.tk/assets/css/main.css" /> becomes <link rel="stylesheet" href="/assets/css/main.css" />. Makes life much easier if you ever change domain ;)

Hmm, conversely your favicon should be root-relative. Go from <link rel="icon" href="favicon.png" /> to <link rel="icon" href="/favicon.png" />

Zacharee1

@Oli her other website does relative

Q: Unable to Edit/Create Pages at help.ubuntu.com

I'm not sure if this is the best place for this, but I couldn't find a feasible way to contact anyone on the other site. I followed a lovely how-to yesterday at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MovingLinuxPartition, but because it is so out-of-date I had to spend most of the day searching for ad...

Ashu

How i can find the question that i have asked?

Zacharee1

@Ashu Go into your profile and scroll down

Ashu

@Zacharee1

thanks

user139252

@Oli is that the solution? It was saying scripts from unsafe sources using regular relative paths, so I tried using absolute on everything. I didn't know about the // trick

user139252

Prior to let's encrypt, I've never been able to use HTTPS on my sites

Zacharee1

01:25

@HeatherBrown even I knew about // :p

I guess it helps to steal styles and edit them :P

user139252

@Zacharee1 yeah, but can you make Python read your emails to you out loud? :p

Zacharee1

no, but I could learn ;)

I like Python

user139252

I'll fix those paths

Nathan Osman

@HeatherBrown Finally got a reminder email from Let's Encrypt.

Apparently they have a bot that auto-emails to remind users.

Took a while to get right, but I've got it now

hi @NathanOsman :)

You can add as many domains as you have, and change apache to standalone

Mateo

name a band

Nathan Osman

user139252

01:33

Set it up as a cron job to run every 3 months, always up to date SSL

Nathan Osman

@HeatherBrown Ah, clever.

Mateo

Nathan Osman

I should totally write a Go app to automatically do that.

@Mateo Not bad.

Mateo

then you see all the songs when you click on one

Nathan Osman

That sounds useful for sure.

Seth

01:34

@Mateo Can you then click on a song and it pull up the song somewhere?

Nathan Osman

If I had an Ubuntu phone, I'd use it :P

hbdgaf

what data sources are you checking for playable media?

@Seth and that

Mateo

haha, didn't get that far ;p

Seth

;p

Nathan Osman

@hbdgaf I think his scope is doing lyrics.

Mateo

01:35

that is the next step

Seth

usually searching YouTube for the song name and just using the first result will work.

hbdgaf

ohhhh... a lyric app. sure.

Mateo

it will take "artist, song"

Seth

but maybe there are fancier ways.

Nathan Osman

@Mateo is it possible to display icons next to each entry - album art in this case?

Mateo

01:36

it gives amazon links for the albums - and a link for the lyrics

Nathan Osman

I think you can use the Amazon link to pull the image.

Mateo

maybe

Nathan Osman

If not, you could always do it manually - pull the page HTML and grab the image.

hbdgaf

why not use the cover art plugin stuffs from amarok or wherever?

Mateo

I'll need to try something like that, if you know how to scrape the image link from a given page in c++ I might need some help :)

so, that is how far I got today

Nathan Osman

01:41

Probably a simple RegEx would do it. I can help you write something once you get that far.

Zacharee1

So close to 3k!

Mateo

that would be awesome, I'll let you know - it will probally be a few weeks before I start trying to think about that part, probally make a function that does the magic on the link, then call on it later in the part where i need the image link

Seth

@muru any idea what's going on here? askubuntu.com/questions/713007/… Apparently your answer didn't solve his problem.

@Mateo you're becoming our go-to scope expert :P

Mateo

also I'll get the code together on github and all that so it will be easier to see what i'm trying

If you see a scope that does attributes properly and has their code somewhere let me know, I haven't figured out how to do those - and the only other scope where I thought I saw them cheated and put it in the subtitle :/

Q: Most efficient for multiple distros on one machine

My laptop – which is my main everyday computer – is currently dual-booting Win10 and Ubuntu 14.04 (though I almost never use Windows). I recently tried out a USB boot stick of the live Debian 8.0.2 image, with the Cinnamon desktop GUI. I was very impressed, and am interested in using it. I don't ...

DemCodeLines

I don't think it's possible, but I'll ask anyway: If I'm using Emacs and writing C/++ code that creates a GUI window, would it actually display the window? Or is GUI development just not possible in terminal-based editors?

Serg

@Zacharee1 Sergio is a common spanish name , nothing surprising there :) also there is Sarge / Serge in French I think

Seth

@DemCodeLines terminal editor is the same as any other editor, totally possible :)

DemCodeLines

02:32

So assume I'm running a minimal version of Ubuntu, no desktop environment, just the shell. I install emacs, write some files and compile/run the output; you're telling me the GUI will show up?

Serg

@DemCodeLines it sure is possible. I've done all my java code in command line , no IDE, and because i was using the Swing class it was showing the neat little GUI popups. Also , zenity - it's the GUI which runs from bash scripts !

Seth

@DemCodeLines ahh, you didn't say you were running on a minimal install. No, that won't work.

There actually has to be something to render the gui elements, and that's all lacking on a minimal install.

Serg

@DemCodeLines minimal install ? no GUI on system, means no GUI from program

if by GUI you mean ncurses then yeah

Seth

a wild @Serg appears!

Serg

@Seth a wild Serg disappers, class over, going home

Seth

02:37

@Serg get some sleep :p

DemCodeLines

I need linux for school comp sci class. I didn't want to leave Windows, so I installed Ubuntu on Hyper-V. Pretty much every desktop environment for Linux slows down my VM, so I decided to go with minimal -install instead. But now, I can't get the GUI apps to run.

sigh

Seth

@DemCodeLines Can't run a gui without a gui... Dunno how that would ever work :)

@DemCodeLines If you're looking for minimal go with Lubuntu or Ubuntu MATE. Both very light on the resources.

DemCodeLines

That's why I said "I don't think it's possible" in the beginning ;)

Seth

@DemCodeLines it's possible from the command-line, just not in a CLI only environment ;)

I write gui code from the terminal all the time. Inside a gui environment though.

kos

@Serg Sergio is a thing also in Italian :)

@DemCodeLines Yeah you could try Lubuntu, it also has an OpenBox session which is extremely light.

Serg

02:42

@kos :) nice to know that as well

@hbdgaf hehe, those noodles can be tricky, there's a subtle art to eating them lol

you need some colours and bold :p

I use zsh now but for bash I use terdon's really awesome PS1:

Serg

@Seth once I print out my assignments, no-one's gonna care about colors , so I just keep everything neutral. But for interactive use that's pretty neat

Ah, I keep forgetting about zsh

I need to start learning that at some point . . . somehow , someway

user139252

Should I be using zsh?

user139252

Also, what's the best chess engine for Ubuntu?

Serg

@HeatherBrown Unless you want an interactive shell on steroids, I think no, but it's good to know. Some distros have used it as default, for example Deepin

Personally, once I've heard about shellshock, I've switched from bash, started looking for other shells, and came across ksh, but ksh doesn't have that good readline support, it works just like dash, you type continously, no moving around with arrow keys

Then I found mksh and settled on that

It's pretty much the same as a crossover between bash and ksh

Seth

04:56

@HeatherBrown stockfish is the best chess engine in the world atm

Also open source iirc.

I don't have any good gui recommendations off the top of my head. I usually just play on lichess.org.

user139252

@Seth thanks, I'll check it out!

user139252

GUI isn't necessary, I'm used to playing by coordinates over SMS with friends :p

user139252

@serg is mksh easy enough to use?

Serg

@HeatherBrown yup, if you feel comfy with bash, you'll be comfy in mksh. Of course the echo by default behaves differently here, and history is not set, so you have to set env variable for that. Theres also env variable for command numbers, and whole bunch of other small things. But for 99% of everything you need to do on daily basis, it's the same as bash

Side note - it's the same shell that is used on Android

Seth

05:57

@Serg honestly shellshock doesn't mean other shells will be safer you know..

@HeatherBrown meh. I use it because it is highly customizable and I have it set up to give me my favourite features from fish, but still let me have my bashisms.

Serg

@Seth I'm well aware of that. But for temp solution plus learning iz gutt

@Zacharee1 Which edit?

user136984

@Fabby: Also, I remember speaking to a mod here about whether or not questions about future releases are on-topic, and I'm sure I remember them saying that they are if they are not bug reports, and specifically the close reason you have chosen is "Bug reports and problems specific to development version of Ubuntu should be reported on Launchpad so that developers can see, track and fix these issues.", and this is not something which should be reported on LP.

user136984

There is also this answer here.

user136984

@Fabby: A more appropriate close reason might be "This describes a problem that can't be reproduced that seemingly went away on its own or was only relevant to a very specific period of time. It's off-topic as it's unlikely to help future readers.", but only after 16.04 has been released and this question and its answer is obsolete.

@blade19899 wikipedia has a list en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_malware Incomplete they claim :=)

@Rinzwind I have played with installing OSX on my laptop(s) for years, was challenging at first, but not anymore. Thats why I stopped doing it. Too easy.

Rinzwind

Too :=)

blade19899

@Rinzwind I noticed that, but some links are broken, an not detailed information. I wanted something like the information on VirusTotal.

Rinzwind

yeah 1 big problem as noted on the wikipedia: ". However, few if any are in the wild"

so virustotal will list them but ... it might be 0 >:-D

blade19899

@ParanoidPanda Yep. Moderators are like Vegeta, they can and they will. Without remorse.

user136984

So they can just click a delete button and it just deletes it just like that? There's no process they have to go through?

Yes.

jokerdino

We all know the answer.

user136984

12:06

Could someone just check if my comments on this post were deleted by a mod because I didn't delete them and if a mod didn't, well, that's very strange...? And there was no real cause to delete them... :)

Rinzwind

@ParanoidPanda ehm comments are actively deleted so that will be a "yes" ;-)

Oli

@ParanoidPanda Yeah @fossfreedom nuked all the comments there. We do that when the comments start to dominate the whole thing.

I'm glad I'm not just going mad! :D

Oli

All the comments.

Ok, right, then I'm not going mad... Good to know! :D

Rinzwind

@ParanoidPanda eh how does this prove you aint going mad? :-P

No, just proves I'm not seeing things with this...

user136984

@Rinzwind: Personally I think I went mad a long time ago... ;P

Rinzwind

I know when! >:-D

Oli

12:09

@ParanoidPanda Clearly not

Rinzwind

@ParanoidPanda nope. not every year.

Oli

It's done (on all SE sites) to get enough moderators to handle the workload. We've levelled out.

Ok, well, then it just happened that way previously, anyway, when do you think the next moderator election will be?

jokerdino

Not in the near future.

When one of us dies. Assuming that is there isn't some sort of Quickening as the other moderator absorbs the life force of the other and becomes more moderiffic THAN EVAR BEFORE!!

Oh right, I must take a look then! ;D

user136984

@jokerdino: What exactly is retina by the way? :)

jokerdino

@ParanoidPanda must be one of those Apple displays.

Retina Display

Retina Display (marketed by Apple with a lowercase 'D' as Retina display) is a brand name used by Apple for screens that have a higher pixel density than their previous models. The goal of Retina Displays is to make the display of text and images extremely crisp, so pixels are not visible to the naked eye. This allows displays to rival the smooth curves and sharpness of printed text and immediacy of photographic prints.
