They're behind CloudFlare, but I have the direct IP

anyone wanna DDoS? :p

Nathan Osman

Besides getting us into murky legal waters, what else would that accomplish?

@NathanOsman lolz

edwinksl

Registrant Organization: Domains By Proxy, LLC

nice company name

Zacharee1

@edwinksl it's cloudflare

Nathan Osman

CloudFlare doesn't register domain names.... do they?

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman they hide the origin IP

Nathan Osman

That's got nothing to do with private WHOIS listings.

That is taken care of by the registrar.

CloudFlare just proxies the traffic.

Zacharee1

04:27

oh hmm

whois.net found nothing for me on that one

edwinksl

Domains by Proxy (DBP) is an Internet company owned by GoDaddy founder Bob Parsons.

Nathan Osman

They probably have a private listing.

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman well both spams seem to have the same exact source-blocking script

Nathan Osman

Source blocking... huh?

Zacharee1

they block right click, block ctrl+u

edwinksl

04:29

probably using the same "SEO pack"?

Nathan Osman

Do they block Ctrl+Shift+C?

That should still work.

Zacharee1

uh

they do

Nathan Osman

Wait, wut.

DUDE.

The Chrome team shall hear about this.

Zacharee1

it's just key intercepts

Nathan Osman

No idea why a page should be able to register hooks for those key combinations.

Zacharee1

04:31

But F12 still works! xD

Nathan Osman

Heh.

Tools -> View Source

Duh. That was easy.

Terrance

@Zacharee1 Thank you for finding that on the askubuntu.com/q/816535/231142 question. I have had better success from the drivers ppa, which is seems that OP didn't try.

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman or view-source:url

Nathan Osman

Of course, if all else fails, I could always use a tool (like REST Easy, hehe) to view the raw HTTP request.

Zacharee1

@Terrance well it's my Q&A :p

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman lotta keys, but no F12

@Terrance He also didn't try turning Secure Boot off, which seems to be the fix for login loops

somehow

Terrance

@Zacharee1 I have heard that before. Does the linked answer suggest that?

Nathan Osman

That is so stupid.

Zacharee1

not mine, but about three others do @Terrance

Terrance

04:34

@Zacharee1 Cool! Good to know. =)

@Zacharee1 Awww, I already upvoted your answer a while ago. =)

Zacharee1

I am going to delete my answer there. Your answer covers it quite well. =)

Zacharee1

Nathan Osman

Cloning the Linux kernel Git repository fetches about 800 MB worth of stuff.

That was actually... smaller than I expected.

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman fun fun fun

Terrance

Do it! Go for it! Then you can have bragging rights at school about it.

Zacharee1

@Terrance yeah, that's a good thing to brag about :p

Terrance

04:37

;)

Hey, someone's gotta do it!

Nathan Osman

"Hey, I have 10k rep. on this website you've never heard of about an operating system you've never heard about."

Terrance

I brag at work, but I don't think anyone cares.

Zacharee1

"Oh yeah, you know that site, AskUbuntu? Well I'll have you know I reached 10k rep right before we started school. I know right? Pretty cool."

@NathanOsman Yup

edwinksl

@Zacharee1 what if second purge happens

Zacharee1

@edwinksl Then we purge Shog

sudo dpkg -p shog9

@NathanOsman To be fair though, a lot of people in my dorm are getting interested in custom Android stuff and Linux

edwinksl

04:38

surely he has a script to see who talks bad about him in chat...

Zacharee1

a lot of them have MacBooks :p

Nathan Osman

@Zacharee1 Android is most definitely not Ubuntu.

Zacharee1

@edwinksl probably, but he can't do anything about it

@NathanOsman no, but it's Linux. We're getting there

Terrance

I might have to go find a question to jog my brain around while I am waiting for my son to get off work tonight. He really needs to get his license and drive himself. :P

Nathan Osman

@Zacharee1 Not for long.

Google's hard at work on their own OS now.

I predict Android will adopt it within the next five years.

edwinksl

04:39

@Zacharee1 oh as in overpriced laptops with shit intel GPUs and almost no usb ports

Nathan Osman

BUT THAT THUNDERBOLT THO.

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman YASSS

@NathanOsman I'm interested to see how that'll turn out: Google Glass or Chrome OS

Nathan Osman

I love that the ports double as DisplayLink.

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman and everything else, as long as you have a $70 adapter for each function

Nathan Osman

Chrome => Chrome OS
OS X => macOS

I'm noticing a trend here...

Zacharee1

04:41

wut

Nathan Osman

@Zacharee1 $10 on Amazon.

Zacharee1

o_O

Not official Apple, though, are they?

Terrance

Hey, I think my Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter I bought for work ran me $40

Nathan Osman

No, of course not. Still works fine though.

Terrance

Mine was official

Nathan Osman

04:42

It's a Thunderbolt/DisplayLink to DVI adapter.

Zacharee1

wth is WebGL and why is Chrome hitting snags on it?

and why is Apple going back to the 90s with its branding?

Nathan Osman

WebGL is an implementation of OpenGL/EGL/whatever-it-is-these-days for the browser.

Zacharee1

If we see a return of the rainbow Apple, I might just switch :p

@NathanOsman well it dies on the Sierra page

Terrance

Over my years of repair work, Apple was by far one of the worst to repair.

Zacharee1

04:46

@Terrance now try to open a Note 7

Serg

i wanted to save for a mini mac this year. . . .I'd love to make open source apps for it

Terrance

@Zacharee1 Heat gun and a nylon pic

Serg

buuuuut sh! t happened

Nathan Osman

@Terrance That's what @RPiAwesomeness keeps saying.

Zacharee1

@Terrance doesn't work well. Since it's IP68, everything is sealed tight

@Serg make apps for OS X? Yeah, no

Terrance

04:48

Actually a lot of the repairs were the worst because of the corporate garbage Apple put us through.

Zacharee1

Pay them $99 for the privilege of having your app installable

@Terrance like what

Nathan Osman

Dude, this says it all:

"Don't leave a macbook in the armchair."

edwinksl

that looks painful

Terrance

@Zacharee1 First, getting parts was a joke, but in the beginning I was able to get the parts over-nighted to me without issues. Then they decided to keep us certified, but we had to ship the units in for repairs that added on 3 days to the repair process.

Zacharee1

o_O

Terrance

04:50

Boy did their customers start going livid about that and take it out on us.

Plus, they lie about their products.

Power Mac G4 Cube

The Power Mac G4 Cube is a small form factor Macintosh personal computer from Apple Inc., sold between 2000 and 2001. Designed by Jonathan Ive, its cube shape is reminiscent of the NeXTcube from NeXT, acquired by Apple in 1996. The New York Museum of Modern Art holds a G4 Cube, along with its distinctive Harman Kardon transparent speakers, as part of its collection. == Features == The small 7×7×7 in (18×18×18 cm) cube, suspended in a 7.65×7.65×10 in (19.4×19.4×25.4 cm) acrylic glass enclosure, housed a PowerPC G4 processor running at 450 or 500 MHz, and had a unique, slot-loading, low-profile DVD...

Zacharee1

oh god

that thing

Terrance

Now, find me an AGP Port on this motherboard

Why say it has AGP, when it doesn't exist on the board?

Nathan Osman

AGP - so 2005.

Terrance

I understand that, but that is what they advertised them as. This was after Steve Jobs took back over.

The G4 Cube was a complete piece of garbage. The case was better used as a waste basket.

Zacharee1

@Terrance like the Mac Pro

it literally is a trashcan

Terrance

04:54

Why advertise OS X as "Runs UNIX, doesn't crash!"?

@Zacharee1 Agreed!

I had customers literally bring me the sign from our Apple section and point that line out to me and complain when their system crashed.

Zacharee1

lol

Always the price they paid for the system was brought up whenever they brought it in for repairs. Like that ever helped them get the repairs done faster.

@Terrance oh, and the AGP slot appears to be on some sort of insert

Terrance

I only have 6K

Zacharee1

oh

Terrance

@Zacharee1 Yes, but it was AGP adapted to PCI. 64bit to 32bit adapter

Zacharee1

05:01

O_O

so it is

It's a card plugged into the PCI port...

yeesh

Terrance

Actually, the AGP 2x was only 32bit, but AGP was supposed to have direct access to the CPU, where PCI was shared with other devices as well.

what exists

Zacharee1

icanhazip.com

Terrance

Before I started using no-ip.com for my DDNS, I used icanhazip.com to get my external IP and text and email it to me.

Serg

yeah, it does. It's one of free services that check your IP. I used to use OpenDNS one though

Zacharee1

yay another vote on my Meta.se Q

that was me

Zacharee1

05:29

Zacharee1

no, normal Cisco stuff

Serg

diagnostic.opendns.com/myip

Terrance

Ah

Zacharee1

or is it Linksys...

but it's dual WAN, so No-IP doesn't work so well

@Serg So it's just a 30x redir?

Terrance

05:31

I have a Linksys WRT1900AC, and that service you said is not listed. =(

Zacharee1

yeah

Serg

@Zacharee1 no , it's two separate sites

edwinksl

@Zacharee1 reproducible in SO btw. also there is no need to switch tab

Zacharee1

Since No-IP doesn't work anymore, I looked at the list of services the router liked. Some Chinese thing before finding ChangeIP @Terrance

@Serg weird

Terrance

@Zacharee1 It does support Custom though. Does ChangeIP expire?

Zacharee1

05:32

@Terrance I don't think so

Terrance

no-ip does in about 30 days. So I just simply click renew.

@serg regarding this webupd8.org/2016/08/switch-between-multiple-lists-of-apps.html

Serg

yes ? @Rinzwind

Rinzwind

would it be possible to make it changeable with keycombo?

or gestures?

and/or make it switch when you have more than 1 workspace?

hmm he started to ignore me or got so excited he started coding it? :=)

Serg

em . . . keycombo - maybe. Never done anything with gestures , so I don't know about that. The setup is basically such that it reads a settings file, where all the lists are stored. I could make some kind of script that loops over the items in file . . .More than one workspace . . . maybe. I avoided making it "per workspace" initially, because Jacob has script for that already @Rinzwind

Rinzwind

so? nothing wrong with having 2 scripts do the same >:-D

Serg

07:05

I didn't know you are Unity user as well, Rinz.

Rinzwind

it is not the script that matters! it is the road to making the script that matters!

@Serg is there anything else? :-P

Serg

Well . . . I'll see what I can do about it. I'll probably either have to add another menuentry to it, or a command-line option.

Zanna

Can anyone suggest why I can't set a shortcut with an xdotool command ?

Serg

@Zanna you might want to rewrite it as bash -c 'DISPLAY=:0.1 xdotool . . . .'

what's the original commando ?

Rinzwind

@Zanna experience? >:-D

(or lack of :D)

Serg

07:11

hehe, that answers part of why ^

Zanna

xdotool key whatever

hahaha

Serg

@Zanna OK , try rewriting it with bash as i suggested. make sure you check DISPLAY variable first

Rinzwind

xdotool getactivewindow key Home works from keybindings

Serg

or that ^

i think that's what i use in some of mine . . .

bash -c "xdotool getactivewindow key Page_Down"

Rinzwind

3 more:xdotool getactivewindow key End
xdotool getactivewindow key Page_Up
xdotool getactivewindow key Page_Down

did I install xdotool? well the command works magically in the terminal for some reason :p

Can you guys run xrandr first, then this (like python3 list_resolutions.py) : gist.github.com/SergKolo/fda81cd7c04606d82d9c1de92209d441
