Terdon and Thomas? What a surprise :p

@Videonauth uh

Thomas W.

@ParanoidPanda Feels good to know the community supports me! And it feels good to be able to help the community even more :)

thanks once again to everyone who voted for me :)

Zacharee1

@ThomasW. rats

:p

Thomas W.

heh

Zacharee1

Personally, I was rooting for Video, but I can understand why his 2-month membership might turn people away

I am glad to see you a mod too though :)

Nathan Osman

Sigh... Bootstrap...

.modal('hide')

Manually hides a modal. Returns to the caller before the modal has actually been hidden (i.e. before the hidden.bs.modal event occurs).

How useless...

Thomas W.

22:15

@Zacharee1 Understandable, but i'm glad I have your vote of confidence anyways :)

Videonauth

:) well next time im in again ;) and hopefully will make it then

Seth

@Zacharee1 sorta

Henry WH Hack

Hello Everybody! :)

This is the worst day of my life because 1 my keyboard is not working properly 2 I can't remember my codecademy username 3 I am using the on screen keyboard and 4 it took me forever to type this. :(

What does one two three and four add up to?

Sleep well!

Videonauth

Pablo

hey guys have some questions

Videonauth

:30521771 im not very firm in many hardware things but, well ask and then i can tell you if i know a possible solution or not

Pablo

if I downgrade to ubuntu 14.04 GNOME does GNOME downgrades too?

Kaz Wolfe

22:35

@Pablo Don't downgrade. Just re-install.

Downgrading causes so many problems.

Pablo

is ubuntu 14.04 still supported?

ok

thanks Ill stick with 16.04 then

Thomas W.

@Pablo Downgrades are painfully evil

Zacharee1

@Seth Would a really cheap or free LG G2 be good? My step-dad got a new phone, so if we can find his old G2, we may have an extra. I have one with a broken digitizer too, which I'm planning to repair

Thomas W.

and i'm not lying about the painful part

if you've upgraded, stick with what you have

if you can't stand, reinstall older after backing up data you want to keep

Zacharee1

or do the /home on another partition thing

then it's like a downgrade without any settings being kept :p

Nathan Osman

22:37

LVM FTW.

Zacharee1

eww :p

Videonauth

askubuntu.com/q/789950/522934 <-- has just before asked a question about wifi, and well slowly im not sure if this guy even has a computer or simply a pile of problems

Nathan Osman

@Zacharee1 Says the user who can't immediately rollback his system after a botched driver upgrade.

:D

Serg

God i am not living in any suburban are ever again

Fkin bees , wasps, god knows what

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman how many terabytes do I need for this?

@Serg go full on rural

Nathan Osman

22:38

However many you want to use.

Zacharee1

guns, tractors, DSL

Nathan Osman

It's a partitioning tool.

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman But doesn't it need space to store backups?

Serg

@Zacharee1 imma rural out of here once i have enough money

Nathan Osman

@Zacharee1 The snapshots?

Zacharee1

22:39

@NathanOsman yes

Nathan Osman

You can make them as big as you want them to be.

Seth

@Zacharee1 Wow. That would be better than I have. Before anything else though, what carrier?

Nathan Osman

It's COW (copy-on-write) so they only take up space as new data is written.

(Though the space is pre-allocated.)

Zacharee1

@Seth Verizon, but I believe the bootloader can be unlocked. And since it's VZW, it'll work on any carrier. No SD slot though

@NathanOsman OK, so I could end up needing a lot

Nathan Osman

Why do people make such a fuss about SD card slots?

Thomas W.

22:40

@NathanOsman expandable storage

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman It is extremely useful when you're stuck on Windows and ADB hates you because of that

Nathan Osman

@Zacharee1 No different than a regular backup though - and any identical data is only stored once.

@ThomasW. 64 GB ought to be enough for everyone.

Ducks.

Serg

Worst part is that my dear father of mine doesn't understand that i hate all that buzzing flying creepy crawly weirdness with passing. I freaking gonna have heart attack

Seth

@Zacharee1 Anything is better than 8GB non expandable.

Nathan Osman

@Serg Don't they sell insect repellent there?

Thomas W.

22:42

@NathanOsman points at the 256GB SD card in his tablet that still has 8 VMs stored on it

Zacharee1

@Seth 32GB should be good then.

Nathan Osman

@ThomasW. That is obscene.

Zacharee1

@ThomasW. o_O

gimmeh

Nathan Osman

And I want one.

:)

Zacharee1

yep

Nathan Osman

22:42

How fast is it though?

UHS 3?

Zacharee1

SD? Mine's 2 years old, so it has about 11MB/s read, 5 write

Nathan Osman

Tsk.

Zacharee1

But I'd imagine a 256GB could be even slower

Although with improved technology...

I have seen 90MB/s write advertized

Nathan Osman

I won't buy anything with less than 90 MB/s.

Thomas W.

@NathanOsman Yes. It is.

Nathan Osman

22:43

@Zacharee1 I know. I have one of those.

Thomas W.

I had no other hard disks :)

Zacharee1

It'll work

Not amazingly, but it'll work

This is what I could use: amazon.com/SanDisk-Ultra-200GB-Micro-SDSDQUAN-200G-G4A/dp/…

Nathan Osman

amazon.ca/Samsung-MZ-V5P512BW-512GB-2280-3-0X4/dp/B01639694M

Zacharee1

Pretty big price jump from 128 to 200

Serg

@NathanOsman they do, except nobody spends money on that. Savings are more important

Seth

22:45

@Zacharee1 amazing. Only catch: I'm probably not going to have any hard funds until fall and even then not much. If/when you find it we can talk that stuff outside here tho

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman can I put it in my phone?

Nathan Osman

@Zacharee1 challenge accepted.

That's 12 Gbps write speed for those who didn't click the link.

Zacharee1

@Seth kk. You can get the phone for $100, so even if you end up paying me, it's probably going to be less than $40

Seth

@Zacharee1 Oh I can manage that!

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman that thing's only $338 USD??!

@Seth I'd hope :p

I just need to find the damn thing

heh, this G2's still on KK, so I have the lockscreen widgets

I miss those things :(

Nathan Osman

22:49

At those speeds, swap almost becomes as fast as main memory.

Zacharee1

I swear the broken digitizer has moods. Sometimes it works as long as I don't touch near the crack, and sometimes it's so wonked-out it turns the screen off because the phone thinks it's being double-tapped

@NathanOsman almost? How fast is DDR3?

Nathan Osman

> "Thus with a memory clock frequency of 100 MHz, DDR3 SDRAM gives a maximum transfer rate of 6400 MB/s."

- Source

Zacharee1

whoa

that's fast

Nathan Osman

Of course it is.

Q: Create SSH shell with only working "sftp", "rsync" and chroot?

I have two users and one shared folder in my Ubuntu server: User writer, which has write access to /var/shared. It's an application regularly making file changes in this folder from remote, with SSH key. User reader is used by multiple clients with SSH key, a key they can get without my permiss...

andrew.46

@Videonauth Election all done now I guess, happy with the way it went?

Videonauth

@andrew.46 mhmmmmmmmm i could have made itt but i guess it was like i was expecting it ;)

Mateo

congratulations @ThomasW. @terdon I voted for you both ;)

Thomas W.

@Mateo Thanks!

andrew.46

23:12

@Videonauth I was very happy with my own ranking and I have a goal now: next mode elections in 1 or 2 years :)

mod even

Mateo

Why so blue ;p

Serg

Life goals : get higher score than muru in the next election

Mateo

oh, you are a mod now! So your name is blue @ThomasW.

Thomas W.

@Mateo Yes, it is!

3 hours ago, by Nathan Osman

@ThomasW. is blue. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

sorry, I had to share :)

@NathanOsman ^

Mateo

@Serg mine would be to actually run again for another tshirt ;p

Life is busy right now, so couldn't risk it this time

Serg

23:19

Maybe i am too angry right now, but really my goal is to move out of Colorado

I've had enough of bugs, marijuana, drivers, etc.

And allergy . Every day starts and ends with sneezing, coughing , whatever

Seth

do you know what is causing it @Serg?

Serg

@Seth that's the biggest problem - i don't know

Seth

@Serg The doctors can run tests. My Dad used to go them every few years so he knew what to avoid.

Serg

@Seth nobody will spend money on that

And there's some huge bug in my backyard, possible wasp

God i hate this place

Wild Man

the va is paying for my allergy tests but it takes in. a while to get

stupid short in keyboard

Serg

23:34

@Seth can you block me from chat for a few hours ? I am afraid ill say something stupid. Im not very stable right now

Seth

ok.

Henry WH Hack

Seth is a very kind mod. :)

Seth

thank you :)

Henry WH Hack

@Serg Now you known how it feels like to be blocked! :D

Mateo

@Serg try finding a place that sells local honey, eat a tablespoon a day

andrew.46

23:43

A nice practice is Jala Neti....

For this sort of allergy, dust, coughing, bad air etc

Henry WH Hack

Can a mod permanently block an account from chatting?

Seth

Kinda.

We can send you away for something like 400 days. Almost forever in internet time.

@Mateo this is good advice (cc @Serg)

but it has to be RAW. i.e. unpasteurized.

Journeyman Geek

@HenryWHHack er, no. You should flag such things. That way we have an audit trail

Henry WH Hack

JourneymanGeek Hello o/

What type of flag?

chaskes

is anyone familiar with the hawaii desktop?

Seth

23:54

lawn chair and martini on maui?

chaskes

its available in fedora 24. this is all I found and it doesn't say much: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawaii_(desktop_environment)

Seth

Qt Quick? Eeeeeeeek!

chaskes

See thats my point. What's the deal with Qt Quick?

Also has lxqt available too

Seth

> aiming at desktop and mobile convergence.

That's probably the deal with Qt Quick

(or were you asking why my reaction?)

Nathan Osman

Hey - what's wrong with Qt Quick?

chaskes

23:58

Oh, cool, thanks.

Seth

@NathanOsman nothing. Except it doesn't seem suited for a full blown desktop environment.

@chaskes still disappointed it wasn't a lawn chair and martini.

Nathan Osman

Isn't that what Mir is using?

Seth

@NathanOsman Ubuntu Touch is using it.

chaskes

Well, I can put a lawn chair (and bourbon or scotch) anywhere

Seth

Hmm, but Unity 8 might be as well.
