@WinEunuuchs2Unix According to the OP's edit in the original question this answer is the answer to his question that worked. So you should delete your comment below the answer that said: This does not provide an answer to the question. And it's too bad that the answer that worked was also downvoted.
@Karel... let me check.
@karel Done.
00:46
Navi lives and I have proof...
 
1 hour later…
01:56
I could have sworn dd-wrt had an option for a freeradius server.. but now I cannot find the option anywhere.
I'm starting to think I dreamt it.
I distinctly remember the options under the setting too..
Very distinctly.
Next week google will come out with dreams option.
02:13
@Seth I haven't used DD-WRT in years...
aha
that must have been where it was.
Thanks!
I don't really know anything about it, I just googled it :-P
seth pls
02:36
wat
02:48
@Seth that sounds familiar.
03:07
:(
this is the sickest I've been in years
Your sick? me too?
although I haven't really gotten sick in years :p
but this is horrible
@TheXed let us die together
I blame it on my kids...
in order of occurance (additive): sore throat + ear ache, runny nose, cough, sneezing
and I still have yet to figure out why Office 365 decided to switch to Spanish
@Zacharee1 I have all those symptoms except Office 36 switching to Spanish...which in my opinion is the worst....
Oh and I have a slight temp...
03:15
hey same
@Zacharee1 go play mc then
luckily I speak Spanish
@edwinksl I need sleep :(
@Zacharee1 everytime i get myself some nyquil, i sleep like nothing can ever wake me up
@edwinksl that is kind of the point...
but there is theraflu, which works well but makes you poop like no other...
@edwinksl is Nyquil acetominophen or ibuprofen?
@TheXed If I want that, I'd have some of @ParanoidPanda's carob cake
03:17
acetaminophen
hmm
I could take that...
I just had some ibuprofen but they can be taken together
I wouldn't recommend it
so who else is excited to see the future development in Plasma Mobile
because they treat the same thing...
@TheXed I've been told by medical professionals that it's fine
03:19
@TheXed uh yes i know
and they don't treat the same thing
@Zacharee1 doctor or pharmacist?
nurse practitioner at school
licensed medical, well, practitioner :p
@Zacharee1 for God's sake ask a pharmacist....
they really know the drugs...the PA's and doctors just pretend...
03:21
it is the pharmacist that keep people from dying...
?
that's patently false
@edwinksl nope...
@TheXed but seriously, ibuprofen and acetominphen work differently
that's why they help with different types of pain
@Zacharee1 fair enough...
like there's nothing that beats ibuprofen for body pain, but when it comes to most headaches, caffeine and acetominophen are better
Oh yeah, anyone have a perm-rooted Marshmallow Android?
03:34
@Zacharee1 oh no zach with his malware again
totes
if you do have one, install Xposed and install Assistant Enabler
you'll get Google Assistant instead of Now
ask it to sing a song
it actually sings
DST change in ~2.25 hrs
04:05
Good night my friends...
enjoy your extra hour of sleep
04:22
Are you sure that's not a myth?
04:56
wooo,writing indicators under 15 minutes , boy askubuntu.com/a/846103/295286
@Fabby about the Udisks Indicator. As you may have noticed there's for each partition, there is specific set of lines: Partition device file , Alias, Drive to which partition belongs, Mountpoint , Filesystem type, and Usage. Partition device is simply sda1 or sdb1. Alias is the fun part. Say you have two same looking USB disks. You can call one "My Work Stuff" and the other "My School Stuff". The indicator will remember which one is which, so if you plug in USB drive and it's mounted . . .
. . . you don't have to go "Oh, wait , which one is this ?"
Mountpoint is simply the directory where things are mounted. The cool part here is that each menu entry is linked to their mountpoint, so if I have my secondary drive linked to /mnt/HDD , i can just click on it in the indicator , and it will open Nautilus in that folder
Filesystem is just that - ext4 or ntfs, or whatever.
Usage shows how much stuff there is already on drive , and it shows it in 3 ways : percentage,usage bar, and actual GB or MB
Preferences dialog, by the way, let's you turn off some of that stuff. So lets say your disk drive name is veeeery long. You can turn off that, and keep indicator menu nice and neat
This indicator was actually written for another question here on AU. askubuntu.com/a/830558/295286
05:16
GAAAA, dafreak-a-frack . . . A link-only , low-quality answer, that misses the point of a question gets +1 , but mine that provides a working indicator is ignored ???
I'm loosing hope in this site . . .
flips a table, and leaves
 
2 hours later…
07:03
@ThomasWard figured out why cloudflare is sending me ICMP messages. Turns out OpenDNS , which is what I've set on my router when that whole DynDNS thing was going down, they use CloudFlare. Quite interesting fact. Although it does break a few things - I couldn't access ask.wireshark.org , even though they respond to pings
huh, odd, now it's up. Their site was down for whatever reason
07:52
@TheXed You meant Nazi?
... and afternoon.
@Anwar no, Navi - a fictional character from Legend of Zelda game.
Oh!
A bad new: My disk is dying... If you have any suggestion then give it plz
@Anwar o_O
I think we already have proof of living Nazis....
yeah. I agree
@Anwar here's a suggestion: buy a new disk and clone your stuff form old disk to new one. Because once it dies, you'll loose stuffs
@Zacharee1 you're in early today ;)
07:56
@Serg you can thank my sore throat
@Serg backups are best done before things start dying IMO
@Zacharee1 whom were you yelling at so much ?
har har
@Serg Thanks for that obvious suggestion :D
Also . . . Tis a season to be sickly , falalalala, cough cough , cough cough
07:57
@Zacharee1 blame Nazis?
UGH this is a really bad cold
@Anwar I could. I am Jewish after all
It's been raining here for two days ... soo cold
@JourneymanGeek Well, if he doesn't have a new disk, where he's going to backup stuff ? Sure, you could do it to cloud, but a whole partitions ?
My freakin University website takes for EVAR to load
I can't do anything tonight
@Zacharee1 Oh! Your name suggested me something like that :)
you know what, I'll be right back. I'll restart my chrome, and see what wireshark is gonna tell me
08:00
@Anwar ignore my name. It's not how I spell it :p
happy no more DST
@Zacharee1 It's a chosen spelling/alternative by you anyway.
@Zacharee1 can we please get rid of DST
@Anwar I made this up when I was like 6
I was playing with phonetics
@edwinksl mebeh
08:02
i will vote trump if he abolishes DST
what's DST?
daylight savings time
why you hate DST that much?
during the summer half of the year, we turn the clocks an hour forward
something about getting workers home when it's still light?
DST is archaic and there is no solid evidence of usefulness
08:05
I think so
OK
time to die in a corner
@Anwar it's just plain disruptive and doesn't actually do all that much
has anyone actually subscribed to YT Red for the videos?
@Zacharee1 Yes. We had some months of DST here in BD without any reason.
@Zacharee1 i tried it for free for a month, does that count
Just because the govt thought it was a nice idea (without knowing why)
@Zanna: just got an acceptance to a question I wrote in Feb 2015... askubuntu.com/questions/588404/…
08:15
i guess my chrome was pooping up
after restart, works as usual
@Serg: q upvoted
I like the indicator! :-)
@Fabby haha excellent
^_^ glad you do. I have spent quite a lot of time on it. Next step will be adding support for encrypted partitions, but that'll be once I've time
:-) I can imagine!
In the meantime, I'm working on two new indicators, but so far it's only on my local machine. There's no git repo for those yet
They're not in the working condition i want them to be, and need to figure out support for workspaces, and other stuff
08:23
if anyone dved this, you can remove it askubuntu.com/a/846115/61218
@Anwar starred, because those 5 points are totally true
Do not assume anything
Trust no-one,nothing
Nothing is secure
Security is a trade-off with usability
Paranoia is your friend
4
indeed!
@Anwar I upvoted...
great!
thanks for editing into shape :)
08:46
Interesting thing: my android doesn't respond to arp-scan
If I do arping, i can get it , after like 3 - 5 seconds , but arp-scan just fails
When I get accept, I usually get them in series. That is funny!
@Anwar same for me
09:27
This very good answer needs one additional upvote to float to the top!
09:41
@Fabby personally I'd close it because 1. it goes against SE policies - it tries to get copyrighted material , 2. it's not reproducible ( at least by other users with udemy account ) , and 3. question is clearly low quality - asks "Fix this plz" and yet doesn't explain what they're doing or at least what's the end-goal is
Ah! Didn't look that far...
@jokerdino could you delete my comment about closing a bad question 3 posts up?
Pease? Pretty please?
Just upgraded my netbook from 16.04 to 16.10... 35 minutes only. But then bam no more WiFi. Had to go to BIOS to disable and immediately re-enable WiFi there. Weird.
All good now.
:D
And then we wonder why there are so many upgrade problems here on the site!
yeah... but actually this was my first problem for years now. I always release-upgrade rather than reinstall
I upgrade once and re-install the next time.
09:52
If I had more issues I'd probably do that too ;)
After a while I decided to stick to LTS versions. Sure, I started with 13.10 because I didn't know any better back then , but actually I realized upgrading to development release will eventually lead to bugs and issues.
so 12-->14 was an upgrade 16 was a reinstall
My desktop always is LTS
preaching to the choir! here too!
Netbook was bought in 2015... so it got 15.10, upgraded to 16.04... now 16.10
09:53
I like to get things done with my system and for any OS there is a golden rule:
don't upgrade until SP1has been released.
except there's no SP1 on non-Windows OSes
:-) Thumbsup
16.04. 1
There is zero data on my netbook. If anything fails I'd just reinstall from scratch. I like it with a fresh OS to play with.
the play machine! (and it probably has 0 games) :D :D :D
Arguably, that's just different release version
09:55
0 games true :D
Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU N2830 @ 2.16GHz makes gaming nearly impossible.
:D
   product: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU     P8600  @ 2.40GHz
I know how you feel ;)
I need a new machine...
It's OK for what I need privately, but it's showing its age.
Don't we always need better hardware? Sad thing is, that virtualbox does not perform so well on this netbook. (and the keyboard is strange)
I've upgraded the RAM to 4G, the disk to 1TB, the 10000RPM drive to an SSD, what else can I do?
QWERTZ? Now that is strange! ;-)
10:02
qwertz but smaller keys on the netbook. MY desktop has a daskeyboard
do the LEDS work? ( can you rurn them on/off inUbuntu)
no LEDs - just plain polished plastic
Is this like the old IBM clickety-clack keyboard???
KLICKETY KLACK . yeah :) Cherry keys ftw
Ah... I'm saving up for this one
10:08
I found myself a lovely chromebook, but . . . I don't have money for it . . . I mean, I have enough , but if I buy the chromebook, I won't have money for anything else
@Zanna you have more accepts recently + 1 question is not much like a series. Mine is more funny because it has at least 2 of same kind
0
Q: Please only advice if you actually have something to say on the subject

Jacob VlijmEvery now and then we run into either comments or answers like below: Question: "Just installed Ubuntu 16.10, and now I am in the login loop. I can use ctrl alt f3 to open the console, but dunno what kind of command would fix this. Can you please help me?" Comment: "As I told you befor...

@Serg :(
@Fabby looks great (except price). I like steampunk
10:36
@Takkat That's why I'm saving up...
@Anwar Nope... This is about changing the defaults that come with the localisation for Hungary...
10:48
@Fabby He didn't say he want to change the default locale. He wanted to change the separator in the Clock!
@Anwar I looked at the question. I think that you are right
OK. I respect your decisions. Community will decide. :)
for those of you who saw what happened yesterday
in The Coyote's Den, 47 secs ago, by Mark Yisri
@Thijser and everyone else I had to recreate the workspace. Luckily I was able to save my data :)
eh. What happens in vegas needs to stay in vegas? ;p
@Fabby 8gb is usually my baseline now
What happens on AskUbuntu . . . sometimes ends up on Meta
10:57
My dad runs a (possibly older) core 2 duo box. On windows 10 and a gig of ram, and it seems fine
Even with the dodgy chinese SSD
notbad.png ^
(I run sandy bridge/8gb/decent SSD and ivy/16gb/decent ssd myself)
tho, kinda eyeing the razer blade stealth
@JourneymanGeek oh hi fellow sandy bridge toaster user
11:29
@Zanna Miracles do happen, haha.
@jokerdino yes, lots of them :)
@edwinksl heh, its an x220
the last of the thinkpads with the 'classic' keyboard
desktop is DIY, and somewhat upgraded
12:09
Dupe gurus here? They just need to make an fstab entry, easy peasy... I could answer but seems like there must be a dupe... askubuntu.com/questions/846094/…
12:38
guys do your CVs because I can't
why not?
I'm so sick
awww poor you
13:09
closevotes @Zacharee1
2
You should go rest then
closevote them bugs, delete them then come back when you're better
i am
im in bed
@Fabby sorry. I did paste the wrong link there. askubuntu.com/q/846139/61218 this is the target question :)
@Zanna it answers the part "writable to a user" askubuntu.com/questions/34066/…
or this can be the target askubuntu.com/questions/252361/…
@Anwar oh I thought they just wanted it to be writable and they mean they are the only user of the machine
@Anwar that seems a good dupe, but the answer could be better
ok. I'll find another
maybe I'll just edit that answer... author doesn't seem to be active
ah no that isn't it though, because I don't think they made an fstab entry at all
13:30
answer it?
haha maybe I should
someone then will find a better dupe target :D
hahaha you're right...
answering a question if no better dupe target is found within reasonable time is also a help to the user
true :)
13:33
even that found to be a dupe later imo
agreed
answer first, dupe later
unless the dupe is obvious
haha yes, or unless the answer is annoyingly long and difficult to make
14:07
3 of my last 5 favorited question got deleted by OP!
damn!
awww annoying
This OP always asks interesting questions. askubuntu.com/questions/846194/….
yeah I agree! some folks make the site great with their questions. I have answered one or two from that person
I answered 1...
bbl.
 
1 hour later…
15:28
@DavidFoerster Hi David, I tested with draconic numbers of files (arguments for tar), but I could not reach a limit.
15:38
draconic?
you tested with dragon numbers?
@Zacharee1: He probably mean draconian. ^^
I like the idea of draconic numbers though.
A mathematician should publish a paper defining a new set of numbers with that name. xD
en.wiktionary.org/wiki/draconic says "draconic" and "draconian" can be used synonymously.
16:13
@David haha, in Dutch it is draconisch (huge beyond imagination). Works fine now. Thanks a lot. I just realized I never ever used stdin with python.
16:25
well I bricked that router.
Hello everyone ! :)
17:15
@cl-netbox hi
@Anwar Hi Anwar ! :)
this error stayed on the answer for 6 years! askubuntu.com/review/suggested-edits/639238
will be back tomorrow. good night all
17:34
@Anwar Good night ! See you ... :)
well the router unbricked itself.
That was unexpected.
@Seth What are you doing with this router thingie ? :D Hi Seth ! :)
@JacobVlijm In German there's "drakonisch" which can mean to both "draconian" and less commonly "draconic".
Hey @ByteCommander ! :) How are you doing ?
17:45
Bad.
@ByteCommander What happened ?
I forgot an important password and am now trying to figure out all possible combinations I can imagine.
I wrote a Python script that outputted about 1.4k likely variants I must try now.
@ByteCommander Sh ... t ! Don't you use keepassx ?
Writing a Bash script that helps me copy-pasting them.
No.
Hmmm ...
17:47
I had it stored somewhere, but lost that because of a crash and the need to restore a backup from a few days earlier.
@ByteCommander Hah, I never heard of that band even though they're a German super-group.
Hope you like them :)
Okay, back to Bash.
They're good but too pop-y for my taste.
One of issues with that song in particular is the rhythm. You could dance disco fox to that comfortably.
If we're staying inside Germany this is more like it: youtube.com/watch?v=mKG8BR292oo
@DavidFoerster What are your favorites ?
@cl-netbox Depends on the genre. For metal that would be stuff like Opeth, Dream Theater, Gojira, Meshuggah.
and Devin Townsend
17:53
@DavidFoerster Hey Devin Townsend is great ! :) What about Metallica ? Do you like them too ? New album is "Back to the roots " ! :)
@JacobVlijm might also know Arjen Lucasson.^^
Yes, I like the Great Four but they're nothing special to me.
I haven't listened to it (since it's not out yet).
@ByteCommander you can't just reset?
@DavidFoerster Here you can check 3 new songs -> youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2D4A44B959D87893
I highly doubt that leaving your lead guitarist since the first days out of the song writing is a successful premise to go "back to the roots".
Curiously the style sounds a lot like Kill 'em All.
Yeah, but the new stuff is hard and wild ... just as in the (good old) times of Kill 'em All, Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets ! :)
18:02
I hope I'll be able to find a vinyl release somewhere online. Metallica is notorious for their contribution to the loudness war.
@cl-netbox just playing around a bit. the idea was to try and see if I could get freeradius on it.
18:15
@KazWolfe not that easily and not on a Sunday night.
18:33
Hey ... who's jumping in ? A big fat panda ... Good evening @ParanoidPanda ! :D
@wjandrea Can I have an explanation on why you rejected my edit?
Can anyone explain why it was rejected? (review/suggested-edits/636205), and this one was instead approved. (posts/843344/revisions)
user136984
18:49
@cl-netbox: You heard the big boom as I landed right? :D
@ParanoidPanda Yes ! Exactly ! :D :D :D
Well, I'm gonna leave now ... goodbye ... see you ! :)
user136984
19:04
@cl-netbox: Bye! :)
19:20
crafted a Python script that sends all possible passwords to the website... hope it will find one that fits.
I'm picking out services and killing them to test my monitoring system. I feel like the chaos monkey.
:D
oh crap...
It was not in the list of passwords I could imagine... :-/
bbl
19:40
Is there a chat group for beginners?
This group is very friendly to beginners.
All of us once started as a beginner at one point.
19:55
@luk3yx Because we are all humans and @wjandrea's result is a gentler edit than yours...
I would have approved yours, he didn't...
And it's just a question of taste... I'll leave a note for him.
20:23
Hi there
@Fabby Lets hope said user doesn't show up kicking and raging
Some of us will get annoyed.
would anybody here do me a favour? I wanted to comment a post to ask sthg but seems I don't have enough reputation... may someone comment by me?
You will be annoyed because I invited him to chat to kick me in the goolies???
@Diego POst as an answer, then flag it for mod attention to convert to a comment and paste the link here with an @ ping for me
20:29
Don't forget i'm a dinosaur! (figuratively)
* They don't make'm like me any more
* I have a broad back and can carry a lot of work
* I have a thick skin and don't feel any puny daggers in my back
* I have a very small brain: **don't think too much**
it'll get instantly converted to a comment. Thanks to Diamond Power
I thought you were a vorlon.
lol
@Fabby No, i'll be annoyed at them raging about it :P
emphasis on the "raging" part
@Fabby This sentence is false.
Which one?
This sentence is false.
if your brain is small then it can't parse ^ that sentence
20:32
There are 5 sentences
Ah!
Djeez Louise!
That was indeed too deep for me!
Anyway, back to the review queue.
prods @Fabby
user136984
20:49
@ThomasWard It is true to its falseness.
user136984
That is what my brain concluded anyway.
user136984
@ByteCommander: Shall we have another terrible game? ;P
@ParanoidPanda not now, I'm busy :-/
user136984
Ok, that's fine, maybe later then! ;)
user136984
We can lose to the board then. :P
20:52
Ok, done Thomas
But I don't know how to "ping" it to you
@Diego @ThomasWard will do it here :)
I'll handle that now, thanks.
Thanks
@ParanoidPanda :D :D :D
@Diego Tip: the first 50 rep are hardest to get: if you see badly formatted posts with lots of errors, edit them to be great and beautiful...
