@jokerdino done ! :)

Hi @ByteCommander ! :) How are you doing ? :)

Byte Commander

Hi. Everything ok today. :)

user139252

I should have just turned on syntax highlighting in vim, my PHP issue was a very basic one.

jokerdino

Ah, PHP.

da Boss

PHP is the son of Satan...

user139252

I was using single quotes where I should have been using double.

Byte Commander

17:08

@TheBrownOne And once again: Python all the things! No difference between single and double quotes. :)

user139252

If I could use Python here, I would

Byte Commander

Python can be used for server-side website programming as well.

user139252

Anyone want to try registering here to see if the verification ends up in spam?

user139252

@ByteCommander I know, but it can't be used with OwnCloud's app system.

Byte Commander

Hmm... :/

jokerdino

17:11

you won't sell my email, would you?

user139252

@jokerdino I don't have access to your email address unless you actually sign up :P

Byte Commander

@TheBrownOne And what would I be signing up for?

user139252

25GB free cloud storage

jokerdino

comes to my inbox.

user139252

Yay! I fixed my spam problem!

user139252

17:12

Now I just need to make it look prettier

Byte Commander

@TheBrownOne GMX also doesn't think it's spam. So that storage is hosted where and under what conditions?

cl-netbox

@TheBrownOne Hi ! :) You should update your AU profile ... -> dkbwrites.tk -> www.dkbwrites.tk’s server DNS address could not be found. :)

user139252

@ByteCommander It's hosted on one of my Pi's with a new drive attached for storage

user139252

Under the conditions that you (please) do not host any... unsavory content.

user139252

Really, it's all yours and nobody else has access due to server-side encryption

jokerdino

17:15

that's going to be hard.

user139252

@cl-netbox Oh yeah, that site is broken now. I took it down. It was my writing blog that was lost.

Byte Commander

@TheBrownOne Server side encryption... I would prefer client side. How many subscriptions do you already have? :)

jokerdino

4 maybe

user139252

@ByteCommander Fabby, Zacharee, myself, and my friend in Texas

user139252

Fabby and Zacharee are unlimited storage, because I also host their sites and why not :P

user139252

17:19

I will also upgrade anyone to 100GB for a one-time charge of $25

user139252

Or if they ask really nicely and I know them and I have the space available at the time

Byte Commander

And what's your data rate up/down?

jokerdino

I wonder if Byte is serious about this.

user139252

Right now? 60Mbps down/5Mbps up :(

user139252

It was a LOT better before, but with losing my job recently, I downgraded

Byte Commander

17:21

Well, I have 1 up and 11 down, so I couldn't get much more anyway...

Sounds nice, all in all. You don't have any offical terms&conditions or privacy policy documents, do you?

user139252

Not right now, this is pretty much just for StackExchange network members

da Boss

@TheBrownOne you lost your job?

user139252

@daBoss Yep. Living off my severance check and unemployment benefits until September

da Boss

You were a teacher? Correct?

user139252

That is correct.

user139252

17:25

I will be a teacher again in September, just at a different school

da Boss

I see...

so are you not currently teaching?

or I guess I should ask is your school year over already?

user139252

I'm not currently teaching because some policy things that got really dumb and bigoted.

da Boss

@TheBrownOne I understand.

@TheBrownOne hopefully the next school will be better for you :-D

Byte Commander

@TheBrownOne Didn't you say 25GB? I only see 5GB...

And how about data safety btw? (backups etc.)

jokerdino

Thanks @Byte

Byte Commander

17:29

@jokerdino What for?

jokerdino

let me know how the service holds up.

it's a preemptive thank you.

Byte Commander

For trying Heather's ownCloud???

jokerdino

yiss

Byte Commander

I don't see any reason why you would thank me for that...

user139252

@ByteCommander You only see 5GB?

user139252

17:30

@ByteCommander Nightly back-ups of my whole system from now on :P

jokerdino

@ByteCommander you are a trial run for me.

Byte Commander

@jokerdino :D

user139252

Hmm... Well, that shouldn't be there...

user139252

I just changed it to something else, see if it updated in your dashboard

Byte Commander

@jokerdino next time I'll let you be the guinea pig! ;D

@TheBrownOne Now it's only 2GB! :O

user139252

17:34

Okay, so it lets me lower it...

da Boss

anyone have windows 10 devices?

Byte Commander

@daBoss at work (unfortunately), but not here...

user139252

Refresh again @ByteCommander

da Boss

Oh...I released my first app...

Byte Commander

4.9GB again.

da Boss

17:35

the other day...

user139252

Okay, you're on unlimited until I figure out this greater than 4.9 thing out

cl-netbox

@ByteCommander @ByteCommander @TheBrownOne : That is called DBCS ... Dynamic Brown Cloud Storage ! :D :D :D

da Boss

Oh and I died in the fire drill today...

Byte Commander

@TheBrownOne Okay, but I guess they'll stay empty most of the time anyway unless I find something not too private that should be shared with others (or with my office computer)...

But thanks for offering that service! :)

user139252

@ByteCommander Not a problem :D

Seth

17:41

@ByteCommander but.. that's the point.

Byte Commander

Uploading my wallpapers for testing...

@Seth And how would you handle spam in the LQ queue? You can't raise spam flags there, so you have to leave review and visit the post directly.

user139252

@ByteCommander You could "Recommend deletion"

user139252

That's how you pass the test

Byte Commander

Yeah, but I first go to the real post page to flag it, just to see it's long gone already and the system just decided to test me again.

cl-netbox

Goodbye - see you tomorrow :)

SmokeDetector

[ SmokeDetector ] Offensive body detected: Sound Not Working On Lenovo Ideapad (Used To Run Windows 7, Now Runs Lubuntu 14.04) by I Just Want The Sound To Work on askubuntu.com …

user139252

@SmokeDetector Cleaned it up, made it clear, added relevant tags.

Byte Commander

@TheBrownOne Bookmarked your site with the label "(Br)ownCloud" :D

user139252

:D

Byte Commander

You could use that as company name or something similar...

user139252

I shared a file with you on it, so you can see how to share with other users.

user139252

17:56

I actually do plan on marketing it that way once I get all of these little bugs sorted out.

Byte Commander

Cool idea.

So files others share with me appear in my root directory? Seems not very practical...

user139252

The first file view is "all files"

user139252

There's not really a way to change that in OwnCloud that I've found yet, but that's because I'm not great with PHP

Byte Commander

But there doesn't seem to be any view for "only locally stored files", is there?

user139252

No, there isn't D=

Seth

17:59

@ByteCommander well does it look ok?

Or does it need deletion?

There are only two choices ;)

user139252

I'm trying to fix that up, reading through these application files the best I can

Byte Commander

@Seth But if it was not a test but real spam, the right choice would be to leave the queue and raise a spam flag. :P

@TheBrownOne I also only used PHP once when I had to adapt some stuff in a wordpress site... It's ugly.

Seth

@ByteCommander as far as the queue is concerned that doesn't exist..

user139252

@ByteCommander It's in the LQ queue because it has already been flagged. Since it was flagged, it is the review team's job to either recommend deletion or move on.

Seth

there's no harm in choosing "delete" from the queue and then flagging it. That's what I always did.

Byte Commander

18:02

@Seth But once I click "Delete", it's gone. I would have to use the review history or the browser back button to get there again...

Seth

@ByteCommander the question title just below the answer is a link. Middle click it.

Then delete. Then switch tabs, flag, close tab, next.

Byte Commander

That's more or less what I do... But it's an extra tab and loading a new site for - nothing!

Seth

@Oli have any good recommendations for a phone tripod mount?

@ByteCommander a spam flag is nothing? ok then.

There is never going to be a flag button the LQP queue. The whole point of the queue is to do stuff without a moderator..

user139252

Again...

user139252

3 mins ago, by The Brown One

@ByteCommander It's in the LQ queue because it has already been flagged. Since it was flagged, it is the review team's job to either recommend deletion or move on.

user139252

18:05

It's already been flagged, why do you want to flag it again?

Byte Commander

@Seth No, an unnecessary review exam is for nothing >:P

Q: File command to delete folder and sub folders but add exception to two files

I am trying to use the find command to do the following: Delete a whole folder with files, folders and subfolders except for 2 files, here is an example of what I need test/folder1/file1.txt test/folder1/file2.txt test/folder1/subfolder1/ test/folder1/subfolder1/file3.txt test/folder1/subf...

Seth

Although, @Byte, it might be a good idea for a flag button that only offered spam or offensive.. Sounds like a FR for meta.

Byte Commander

@TheBrownOne Because the LQ queue is not meant for spam and spam flags have a much higher weight to get it deleted than delete recommendations.

Seth

@TheBrownOne enough spam flags auto deletes a post and puts spam infractions on the account.

Nor al deletion doesn't do that.

user139252

18:08

Ah

user139252

Okay, never mind my point then :P

Byte Commander

@Seth I already submitted too mayn FR on several metas, I'm tired of seeing them to collect dust...

Seth

@ByteCommander no, it still does its job. Catching the fools who click "looks ok" on everything.

user139252

...

user139252

What happened...

jokerdino

18:09

?

user139252

My DNS went down...

jokerdino

Playing Tagpro.

Byte Commander

If I got that right, the "Looks OK" is far too powerful anyway...

They should rather increase the limit to take a post out of the queue.

da Boss

@TheBrownOne pi-hole.net :-P

Seth

@ByteCommander then don't complain if it never happens. There are < 20 developers (iirc). 130 sites. Millions of users. You're lucky there's even as much feedback as there is.

Also, FR are implemented all the time. There are just that many.

user139252

18:10

....

jokerdino

Careful. Seth is on a roll.

user139252

all of my domains were just suspended from Freenom...

Seth

And on mobile. My fingers hurt.

@TheBrownOne o_O

Running a "business" maybe?

Byte Commander

> Firefox can't find the server at owncloud.browntech.tk.

:O

Dangit...

jokerdino

Did I jump a bullet?

Is Freenom a fraudulent company?

Byte Commander

18:14

2

da Boss

free domains?

user139252

@ByteCommander Yeah, everything just failed because freenom suspended my domains

user139252

The PHP room jinxed it

user139252

They told me Freenom was sketchy, and then this happened.

user139252

I haven't had any issues with them before now

da Boss

18:16

It is definatly worth paying 15-20a year dollars for a legit domain...

user139252

I just read through their terms, I didn't do anything not allowed...

user139252

@daBoss Yes, but I'm unemployed :(

da Boss

True enough...

user139252

It wasn't being used for Spam emails

user139252

It wasn't hosting illegal content

user139252

18:20

It wasn't hosting adult content

user139252

It didn't contain pages with nothing but advertisements

jokerdino

:'(

Byte Commander

You can't build something as GitHub page that would redirect there, can you?

Because for GitHub pages, there's the free .js TLD.

dns.js.org

user139252

Nope, I might have to just try and budget around and get myself a real domain

Byte Commander

Paying is always the last option IMO...

Jacob Vlijm

18:24

Does anyone know a trick to download a regularly updated localized weather icon? Not a good question: askubuntu.com/questions/754012/… (actually a bad one), but the clock I already solved, an image on the desktop is no issue as well, but I need to be able to grab it from somewhere.

jokerdino

Humor. Warning: NSFW language.

user139252

Really, that was NSFW language? :P

jokerdino

I don't know how many are 13 year olds here.

Jacob Vlijm

@jokerdino I am

jokerdino

Besides, NSFW serves as a clickbait.

Jacob Vlijm

18:26

and I am shocked (don't know why yet)

Byte Commander

@jokerdino THIS is humor with NSFW language...

jokerdino

Hmm, no arguments there.

da Boss

@jokerdino it was blocked by the web filter...must be awful o.O

Byte Commander

@daBoss Just another rant about Java...

jokerdino

lol

not sure which one he is talking about

@JacobVlijm maybe script that with a bunch of different weather icons?

da Boss

18:31

@ByteCommander I see...

Jacob Vlijm

@jokerdino Ah, that's an idea! will look into that.

jokerdino

Or you can use API of a weather website and grab an icon from them.

user139252

I just got an email from the Copyright and Abuse department saying it was cancelled...

jokerdino

any reasons?

Jacob Vlijm

@jokerdino That's what I have been looking for, couldn't find one

Byte Commander

18:33

@jokerdino Could that edit suggestion by an anonymous user be from the OP who forgot to log in? askubuntu.com/review/suggested-edits/550346

jokerdino

@ByteCommander green light

@JacobVlijm let me see

@JacobVlijm erikflowers.github.io/weather-icons

Byte Commander

@jokerdino So what to do? The Q is also on hold and could potentially get reopened...

Jacob Vlijm

@jokerdino Great! you are the best.

user139252

Alright, they're letting me re-verify my domains

jokerdino

@ByteCommander kick it out if question is still not in the position to be reopened.

user139252

18:37

I wonder what the "Copyright/Abuse" was...

Seth

@jokerdino wow. lol.

da Boss

@TheBrownOne where you hosting porn again?

jokerdino

o.O

Seth

@TheBrownOne o_O

user139252

Never :(

jokerdino

18:37

Maybe that's why.

Seth

@TheBrownOne Google and gandi.net are both reputable registrars.

user139252

Yes, but monies.

Byte Commander

Maybe @Fabby uploaded some to his owncloud? ;-)

jokerdino

Fear not. It is server side encrypted.

Hmm, maybe encryption triggered NSA.

And they got it shut down.

@ByteCommander I have approved the edit for now.

No network admin will shut down port 443 o.O

Seth

@TheBrownOne .me and .us are only ~$15 a year.

user139252

18:41

But unemployed :(

jokerdino

You can divert money from your customers.

Seth

.ninja is only $20.

there we go! .space is only $1.99!

user139252

@jokerdino I was still working out bugs, ergo no real customers.

user139252

Freenom re-enabled my domains

user139252

I had to request "re-verification" of the content

Seth

18:42

yay!

user139252

So, it could be down again in 30 days

da Boss

Google domains are 12 a year...

user139252

Before then, I will try to budget around and get my .com

jokerdino

@JacobVlijm I searched for "different weather icons" in Google.

Seth

eh, if you're going to budget get an .io. Much cooler IMO.

user139252

18:44

Which registrars offer .io?

Jacob Vlijm

@jokerdino Thanks, will do the same..

jokerdino

@JacobVlijm lol these days I have to document search terms so I can find them back again in future.

Jacob Vlijm

:)

user139252

@Seth .io is expensive!

Jacob Vlijm

@jokerdino WOW looking for weather server or weather API gives an overwhelming number of hits

jokerdino

18:49

there should be python wrappers somewhere to meddle with weather.

user139252

I might go ahead and re-do this all at browntech.space

Byte Commander

.space?

jokerdino

it's too much work for a silly question. Try to bundle it as an app and we will have it covered on OMGUbuntu.

user139252

$0.88 for the first year, $7.88/year after

user139252

@ByteCommander Yep, .space. It works because it's web space.

Byte Commander

18:50

Cool TLD actually.

Jacob Vlijm

@jokerdino Ah, that's a cool suggestion!

Byte Commander

Imagine deep.space or lost.in.space :D

jokerdino

Why is Jacob so nice?

He is encouraging me even.

Byte Commander

Too good for this world :)

Jacob Vlijm

I am always that nice

Is there a way in _vimrc to set a different colorscheme to be used when printing files? I like a dark background light text scheme on screen, but obviously that doesn't translate well to paper. Edit: I can change the scheme manually before printing, then change it back after and it works fine. ...

What for though?

user139252

20:08

instead of owncloud.browntech.tk you need to set it to owncloud.browntech.space

Zacharee1

space?

user139252

Because freenom decided that my domains were abusive

Zacharee1

How so?

What?

user139252

They didn't tell me why, just that they did

user139252

Shoot, I might have to reinstall ownCloud... again....

user139252

20:11

@TheBrownOne it may have been a copyright complaint from browntech.com

user139252

They haven't updated since 2010

Zacharee1

idk

user139252

20:25

Alright, so in your sync client, delete the account you have, and set it back up for owncloud.browntech.space

Zacharee1

OK

Then when you post a question, post in all the things you searched for so people can see you did your homework.

or better yet, see if you can ask in the chat.

before you post the big Q.

Aaron Hall

practice improves your googling skills. Be more persistent.
