@NathanOsman I'm trying to config a chat room on empathy on some other aplication. Could you help me? That's the chat room URL: batepapo.uol.com.br/beta/Papo-s%C3%A9rio/Idiomas/English

how are you @Terrance?

Byte Commander

@Serg Looks interesting. Btw, have you made any progress with my brightness indy?

Terrance

8:28 PM

@Windows3.1 I am good. :) How are you?

@Serg what does that indicator do?

Terrance

Good! =)

I don't climb mountains very well, but I can roll down them really easy! =)

Serg

OK, shower

bye guys

Nathan Osman

@AndréMarinho No, unfortunately, this chat does not use any standardized protocol.

Neither IRC nor XMPP.

Any attempts to integrate with this chat involve reverse-engineering the protocol (a combination of HTTP and WebSockets) which I have been involved in.

@NathanOsman BJ's has cheaper

@NathanOsman anyways :) that looks like crazy expensive model... what is special about it?

Nathan Osman

@Windows3.1 No, that's nearly the cheapest thing they sell.

Windows 3.1

:(

@NathanOsman as I said BJ's has a cheaper model

Nathan Osman

8:42 PM

Cheaper, maybe.

Which one?

Kaz Wolfe

fun fact. dog catcher loops are great for taking lemons out of a tree.

Nathan Osman

Good to know.

Kaz Wolfe

also... ayyyyyyyyy

@ByteCommander, congrats!

@NathanOsman back

sorry I was occupied with something else.

that's really cheap

16 mp cam isnt too bad

shipping included

Nathan Osman

It doesn't have a camera gimbal, for one thing.

Kaz Wolfe

8:54 PM

Or if you replace your car, we'll be happy to set it on fire again so you can take another crack at getting that shot.

Nathan Osman

Lol.

Kaz Wolfe

gah.

i found a solution that does what i need, but i can't figure out how to make it do what i want.

Byte Commander

@KazWolfe Well, I have to thank you for the question :)

Byte Commander

9:10 PM

@KazWolfe I protected that boot to ram question, it attracted yet another new user answer suggesting to use a different OS live disk...

Kaz Wolfe

@ByteCommander <3

Nathan, python is being dumb!!!

Byte Commander

No it is not.

Kaz Wolfe

>>> if any(word in catch_and_release_test_1.lower() for word in whitelist):
...     print word
...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 2, in <module>
NameError: name 'word' is not defined

Byte Commander

word's scope is limited to the generator expression.

Kaz Wolfe

so... how do i escape it.

Byte Commander

9:12 PM

You would have to convert the generator expression into a proper for loop...

Kaz Wolfe

SONOFA

Byte Commander

Or write a full generator function.

edwinksl

@KazWolfe time to port the python library to java!

Zanna

moan disguised as question askubuntu.com/questions/830499/…

Byte Commander

def wordlist_in_string(wordlist, string):
    found = False
    for word in wordlist:
        if word in string:
            print(word)
            found = True
    return found

Less elegant, but does the job. @KazWolfe

edwinksl

9:21 PM

def wordlist_in_string(wordlist, string):
    for word in wordlist:
        if word in string:
            print(word)
            return True
    return False

that saves a couple of lines

and gets out of the loop whenever possible

Byte Commander

@edwinksl Assuming that @KazWolfe wants short circuit evaluation and exit the loop at the first match. If he wants to detect and print multiple matching words, this doesn't work.

edwinksl

indeed

my guess is though he might want all the matched words actually, so yours would do that

Kaz Wolfe

i got it.

so i'm writing it

and altering half my code blind in nano!

yay hack methods

Byte Commander

Use nano -AESWmi -T4, those options make it easier for coding, I think. (only pasting indented code is bad)

Wow, 50 upvotes on the boot to ram answer...

It's my 5th highest rated answer already.

Kaz Wolfe

9:44 PM

@ByteCommander :D

you're just drowning in rep from that lol

Terrance

@ByteCommander Well, it's a good answer. :)

Byte Commander

And I have nothing to review any more...

Kaz Wolfe

you can review my crap code

gah. i need 15 more rep today.

user136984

I just found the clips of them arguing so amusing (they both have opposite ways of doing it, but they both actually manage to do it well, Clinton is just talking calmly and in the background you can constantly hear Trump making negative comments, it feels like some sort of comedy the way they do it) I have to watch it! :D

@Serg: Yes?

user136984

Though I am watching the above video (which has a very long and annoying beginning which doesn't have much to do with the actual debate, god, this guy can talk forever).

Serg

@ParanoidPanda nothing. I wanted to post something which might not be pleasant for you, but quite funny, so I just wanted to check. I'll post at different time

user136984

@Serg: What is it?

Serg

9:52 PM

@edwinksl what are you doing with that python there ? @ByteCommander

@ParanoidPanda a duck

Kaz Wolfe

edwinksl

@Serg nothing of importance

Kaz Wolfe

My apologies to everyone, especially Panda, who is about to get a lot of pings.

@KazWolfe The bot will reload soon, and will use the new room upon restart. The bot will be moved to WolfBot's Testing Den.

user136984

Seriously though, I used to love sausage dogs but they just keep attacking me when I want to give them cuddles so I'm kind of a bit scared of them! :D

WolfBot

@KazWolfe Uh oh! I ran into a problem :(. See the console for more details.

Zacharee1

stupid auto refresh

Kaz Wolfe

okay i'm done, sorry guys.

Zacharee1

@WolfBot @KazWolfe this is way too similar to the Windows 10 BSOD. pls change

Kaz Wolfe

9:57 PM

@Zacharee1 that's the point.

Zacharee1

wat

Byte Commander

I ran out of delete votes... wants moar

Zacharee1

@ByteCommander gimme $10 and I'll think about it

Kaz Wolfe

@Zacharee1 should i make a real picture or something?

Serg

@ByteCommander just ask someone who can delete stuff

Zacharee1

9:58 PM

So @KazWolfe, what does that PR actually change?

Kaz Wolfe

@Zacharee1 Oh. Go to the Reputation tab of your profile.

Serg

i can vote but I'm on mobile so not the best candidate

Kaz Wolfe

It gets rid of all of those yellow things.

Zacharee1

yellow things?

@Rinzwind Thanks, Captain Obvious

@JourneymanGeek I do it all the time on my MC servers :p

SFTP permissions are annoying

@KazWolfe do you think we should reorganize the repo?

Serg

i know slow and steady wins the race, but I'm sort of getting impatient

@Zacharee1 WHY THE HELL DO YOU DO THAT

SFTP permissions are annoying

Kaz Wolfe

I will Minecraft-sysadmin Newspaper you!

Zacharee1

I literally cannot do anything over SFTP without 777

Kaz Wolfe

oh wait, you're probably just a tiny little network that doesn't have the scale to run VMs and images and whatnot.

Zacharee1

but the only things that are 777ed are the server files

@KazWolfe tiny little AMD server*

Kaz Wolfe

10:22 PM

Add yourself to the group that the Minecraft server runs on, and use that to edit files.

And if you run the Minecraft server as root, there is something wrong with you.

Zacharee1

I have no idea how the server runs

it's a wrapper

runs in an NPM instance thing

Kaz Wolfe

..........

@Zacharee1 how good are you at java

Zacharee1

meh

Kaz Wolfe

meh as in "what is system.out.println" or meh as in "i've figured out threading, but i can't pass exceptions between them"

one more needed

Zacharee1

meh as in I'm learning Recursion but have no idea what threading is (although I probably know what it is just not what it's called)

@KazWolfe done

and where'd you go? no more chat script

Windows 3.1

10:27 PM

who pinged me last?

Kaz Wolfe

@Zacharee1 huh?

the bot is back in his den.

Zacharee1

@KazWolfe no, Nathan's script

I'm so confused askubuntu.com/questions/830525/…

I saw that question a few hours ago

but now I can't find it

Kaz Wolfe

5 rep away from 200 :D

edwinksl

@Zacharee1 that seems reposted. looks like OP deleted the older post?

Zacharee1

@edwinksl I don't see it under deleted posts in mod tools though

so I'm reaaaaaaaalllly confused

edwinksl

10:31 PM

brand new account?

no clue

Zacharee1

@edwinksl I tried searching it found nothing

Terrance

I think it might be a new account, because I remember that question too, and I remember casting a VTC because I didn't understand the question at all.

Zacharee1

ikr

Terrance

Exactly

Zacharee1

but I literally can't find it

Terrance

I looked too, and my vote is gone from my all actions today.

I have no experience in LVM, but that seems to be OP's problem

Well, I have mounted and unmounted LVM from Live media before.

ITS NOT A CLOSED QUESTION EITHER

This bothers me

Glitch in the Matrix I guess?

@Zacharee1 the original post was closed IIRC

yeah but it's gone

Hi

Why does my system keep getting slower over time?

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman why

Nathan Osman

11:19 PM

@SQuirel Reverse Moore's Law

Zacharee1

@SQuirel because cache and new programs and configs and settings and files and drive wear and psychological effects

Nathan Osman

@Zacharee1 Because. I haz need of it in France.

@Zacharee1 Mine was better :P

Zacharee1

that's not the other side of the world

Nathan Osman

SF => France is the other side of the world.

SQuirel

@Zacharee1 How do I make it faster?

Kaz Wolfe

11:25 PM

i think my top question is gonna be closed as a dupe :(

Terrance

Why?

Kaz Wolfe

well, it sorta kinda is, sorta.

although i think the time between them kinda nullifies that.

Terrance

Darn. I just looked at it. :(

I think that Byte's answer though covers more especially with UEFI now, plus it has pictures. :)

Kaz Wolfe

kernel param is the same, though.

but i still think the 5 year gap is probably window enough to open it,

and provided vote counts, i'd close the other as a dupe of mine :P

Terrance

:D

I almost put a question up last night about a HP Laptop I have at home and clean install of 14.04.5. As it turns out, you need to remove the 4.4 kernel that comes with it after booting to 3.13, then do the HWE upgrade, then it works fine.

It was not getting on the network at all after a clean install.

God... That debate just goes on and on... Trump talks a lot... :D

APIC need to be disabled? Or CPU failure? askubuntu.com/q/830541/231142

Nathan Osman

Definitely run memtest.

Terrance

So, you're thinking hardware failure?

Nathan Osman

Machine-check exception

A Machine Check Exception (MCE) is a type of computer hardware error that occurs when a computer's central processing unit detects a hardware problem. Modern versions of Microsoft Windows handle machine check exceptions through the Windows Hardware Error Architecture. When WHEA detects a machine check exception, it displays the error in a Blue Screen of Death, with the following parameters (which vary, but the first parameter is always 0x0 for a machine check exception): *** STOP: 0x00000124 (0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000) On Linux, a process...

> "Memory errors: parity checking detects when a memory error has occurred."

So it could be memory, among other things.

Apparently, overclocking can cause this problem as well.

Terrance

That is what I was thinking. Confusion because I was actually thinking that ACPI needed to be disabled, which was not this case.

The APIC in the code messed with my mind. :/

Nathan Osman

11:51 PM

Yeah, APIC != ACPI.

Terrance

True that!
