Q: Spam-Flag Wave seemed to crash chat

At about 19:35 PM UTC on January 10, 2017, a very large number of chat flags were sent from the Russian StackOverflow chatroom to every 10k user on the network. Shortly afterwards, chat began to lag very severely, finally crashing altogether around 19:40 PM. As of 19:42 PM, the chat appears to...

Rinzwind

@Zacharee1 I had 19 blue flags all in russian D:

Zacharee1

@Rinzwind someone thought that questions asked in chat should be flagged, so they flagged every single message of the question, which was on multiple lines

oh no

edwinksl

lol what is "19:42 PM"

Rinzwind

oh ph

Nathan Osman

7:47 PM

Uh-oh...

Rinzwind

@Videonauth GRATZ on 10k!

Videonauth

@Rinzwind thank you

Kaz Wolfe

how to farm rep on MSE: Find a bug and post before anyone else.

Nathan Osman

I noticed that it was getting a few votes :D

You also picked one of the busiest times of day :P

Rinzwind

@KazWolfe 1. create an exploit! 2. post about it 3. profit

Nathan Osman

7:49 PM

I did that once. I got my question deleted.

(Until it was fixed.)

Rinzwind

lol

why cant I find a good q :(

Terrance

Because there are none right now. ;)

Kaz Wolfe

because i'm looking for them too :D

Thomas Ward

@Zacharee1 "the evil of" might work, but that's a question for EL&U

Videonauth

mhmm still not sure how i can find deltes answers/questions of me which got deleted by community and not by myself

Kaz Wolfe

8:01 PM

search: deleted:1

you can't filter out by deleting user, unfortunately.

Serg

@Zacharee1 yeah, someone did it "just in case it's offensive". And that's why you need translators or at least use google translate

Videonauth

yeah thats what i did till now i have found one which got deleted by community

Serg

@Zacharee1 also, yes, serg is a nubcake. Serg also is a nutcake, and a major one

Videonauth

but should be a very low amount , maybe @thomas could help me with that ;)

Thomas Ward

@KazWolfe There is a fee for entry into 10k

Thomas Ward

@Videonauth you don't.

you can't "find" them I believe

Videonauth

yeah just wanted to know how many they are

well good old brute force lets you find them buts a time consuming thing

Zacharee1

@ThomasWard not exactly the same implication

@Serg chrome did it for me when chat came back up

Huế

Huế ( listen) Northern accent [hwe˧˥] Huế is a city in central Vietnam that was the seat of Nguyen Dynasty emperors and the national capital from 1802-1945.

Doesn't look like a standard tilde to me...

Kaz Wolfe

it is a standard tilde

Byte Commander

no it isn't.

Nathan Osman

Serg

I've been reading the Russian SO transcript. monobogda is pretty dumb user.

Nathan Osman

Coming soon.

Zacharee1

8:11 PM

@KazWolfe along with an accent mark right next to it

Byte Commander

It's an E-circumflex-acute.

Zacharee1

@Serg lol

Videonauth

well i got my answer, 2 answers of me got deleted by moderation/comunity and 2 more got deleted because the question got deleted

Zacharee1

@Videonauth das gasp

Serg

A repeated offender, so to speak, been banned couple times for low quality posts, apparently

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman looks Tim Burtonesque

Zacharee1

@Serg hmm. Maybe a mod needs to have a formal talk with them...

@ByteCommander le gaspailleseux

Kaz Wolfe

4 hours, 80 more rep. let's do this.

Zacharee1

In French, it's pronounced "le gas"

Byte Commander

oha. need something with accents now...

no idea.

Zacharee1

8:13 PM

wat

Kaz Wolfe

askubuntu.com/a/870373 NAA

Byte Commander

flagellated.

Nathan Osman

@Zacharee1 No, this is Tim Burton:

Kaz Wolfe

@Rinzwind You're commenting answers to a lot of posts.

@NathanOsman Meth. Not even once.

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman too detailed

Nathan Osman

8:14 PM

Lol.

Zacharee1

@KazWolfe Meh, not even once

@KazWolfe 4 favs already o_O

Rinzwind

@KazWolfe yeah

@KazWolfe there made it an answer

Serg

@Zacharee1 Probably. There's no "proof" the guy was flagging, but that user responded to ArtofCode once AoC posted a warning, and before that he had a question, people told him to post on main site because those who are in the chat won't know for a fact, and he was saying something like " . . .although , I know how to stir it up. . ."

Rinzwind

@KazWolfe stay away from my question :=D

Kaz Wolfe

hey, i want free rep.

note to self: upvote and edit every question i answer.

Rinzwind

but not before i upvoted you >:D

is this even a ubuntu issue? i don't think so. cc @ThomasWard because bounty.

Rinzwind

nope

Kaz Wolfe

throwing flag too, then

Rinzwind

8:25 PM

waste of bounty :=)

Kaz Wolfe

"widely applicable to a large audience"

nopeeee

Byte Commander

Oh, I just noticed I crossed 29k today.

That makes me all-time #41, right in front of the dino and the evil.

Terrance

I wonder why they wrote that UEFI doesn't work on the Minimal CDs, when I swear that I have installed it on a MacBook Pro that worked fine for the install, and as far as I know they use UEFI?

Kaz Wolfe

I don't think it does.

Rinzwind

@Terrance doesnt work

Kaz Wolfe

8:34 PM

IIRC macs have a non-UEFI failover mode in some cases.

Terrance

Have you tested it?

Rinzwind

that ^

minimal cd works with efi but you need to set it up yourself upfront

Serg

@Rinzwind @KazWolfe Here comes another challenger: askubuntu.com/a/870389/295286

Rinzwind

Terrance

I swear it just worked, and I didn't have to do anything to it, other than have a network cable plugged in because the Wifi didn't connect.

Rinzwind

8:37 PM

that's from the minimal cd install ^^

TheXed

BOOOM!

Kaz Wolfe

I don't think the minimal disk can actually install GRUB to EFI though.

Terrance

I'll have to test it again and make sure that I am not high on something. I am not arguing, but I could have sworn that I didn't have to really do anything special and it installed Xubuntu through the Minimal.

Rinzwind

@KazWolfe it is all manual work if you want it. the minimal cd does not do it by itself
you are better of picking the server install

TheXed

Why are you using the minimal disk anyways?

Terrance

8:38 PM

Beats downloading 10 different distros at once

Thomas Ward

throws a stick at @Terrance because Mac

Rinzwind

@TheXed aint that a question you can ask with ANYTHING related to linux?

TheXed

Yeah but you end up ownloading them anyways...

Rinzwind

@ThomasWard hammers do a better jonb :P

Terrance

@ThomasWard Haha! I am not a Mac guy. I used to fix them. I actually have a huge hatred for them. ;)

@TheXed Not really. I have one CD at my desk, and when I need to install / reinstall that is the only disc I need. :)

Thomas Ward

8:40 PM

@Rinzwind there's something that does the job even better

but we don't talk about it

Rinzwind

sure we do :P

Thomas Ward

not today we don't

Rinzwind

the review count goes up quicker than my rep :(((

TheXed

@Terrance seems like a lot of work to me..

Terrance

@TheXed It's really not. I actually now very much prefer it. Plus, when new versions come out, I am not stuck waiting to download the entire 1GB+ ISO file. They're only 38MB+ in size.

TheXed

8:45 PM

@Terrance you still have to download it? it just becomes part of the install?

Terrance

@TheXed Yep. But if I want to install a server edition, I just choose it, and it downloads all the required files needed.

David Foerster

Good evening guys and gals!

Serg

sigh . . . why do i live far away from basically anything and everything

Terrance

@DavidFoerster Good evening! :)

Serg

Good afternoon, David !

David Foerster

8:47 PM

I'm blatantly fishing for up-votes on my code-golfed solution to askubuntu.com/a/870386/175814 ;-D

TheXed

@Serg all you need is a place that has a semi decent selection of Vodka...

Serg

@DavidFoerster I still have no idea how rename works, but i like it

Kaz Wolfe

20 and 1 flag away from repcap :D

David Foerster

@Serg: Do you know how to use sed?

Serg

I know enough to get by and do simple tasks. sed to me is sort of like Japanese or Korean, I know some words and can say them, but can't keep a conversation

David Foerster

8:52 PM

Yeah, I can't write complex sed script either. What I meant to ask was: do you understand the s command of sed?

Serg

substitution, sort of understand. Not a big regex master,though

David Foerster

Kaz Wolfe

@Serg you want nostalgia? LEEKSPIN

Serg

alright, i gotta go shower and beautify myself. I've got kernel panic to fix later today on my friend's computer

David Foerster

@Serg Well, rename lets you move/rename files based of Perl pattern substitution strings, which are like a powerful super-set of the more simple substitutions you can do with sed. You can't write entire scripts with it but you can do a bunch of other stuff.

Serg

8:57 PM

yeah, I know it's perl underneath the hood. I still have a lot to learn about perl though, and just regex in general

OK, gtg. Bye guys

David Foerster

@JacobVlijm: you can remove askubuntu.com/questions/870154/… now

Kaz Wolfe

woo, repcap :D

Jacob Vlijm

@DavidFoerster Ah yes, was taking the garbage out (the real garbage :) )

Hey you were the one who was asking about why I wanted to open the large text file. I'm happy to keep this question in its original context. — Dave 41 mins ago

lol wut ?

i didn't ask OP anything

Rinzwind

@KazWolfe ha serg is getting slacked >:)

Kaz Wolfe

he also got accepted

Rinzwind

yeah :P

I hate him :=)

3rd answers should never get accepted. If only for being late to the party

Q: Where can I download the production files for Big Buck Bunny?

I would like to download the production files for Big Buck Bunny (one of the most famous movies created with Blender) but I am having difficulty finding the files. This page on the Blender website contains a link to a .torrent file titled "Production Repository from DVD". However, the tracker is...

blend-files

Rinzwind

9:30 PM

lol

Nathan Osman

Can't find the files :(

Kaz Wolfe

what is this "big buck bunny"

an open source movie or something?

Rinzwind

yeah

Big Buck Bunny

made with blender.

Q: Messed up permissions on /

So I mistakenly typed this on terminal sudo chmod -R 777 / and it actually messed up everything on my computer. I can't even use sudo. sudo: /usr/bin/sudo must be owned by uid 0 and have the setuid bit set Is there any way i can fix this without re-installing ubuntu?

command-line permissions

<3

funky :D

Nathan Osman

9:42 PM

@KazWolfe It was the movie that arguably made Blender famous.

Since its initial publishing, it has been made available in 4K and in 3D.

Well, I'll download the 7.7 GB ISO file to my server and pick through the contents there.

There is no way I am going to try to download that large a file from here.

I'm only pulling about 2 MB/s. from the web archive.

No wonder they are asking for donations :P

Kaz Wolfe

there's no source torrent?

that seems strange, especially for an OSS movie.

also, all the spare hard drives in the office have now gone missing.

This is only very annoying...

the quest for a 1TB 7200rpm 2.5" hard drive continutes

Nathan Osman

10:03 PM

@KazWolfe There is.

But the tracker is down.

Kaz Wolfe

ah.

It's not on the open tracker or DHT?

Rinzwind

Get a better dataplan @NathanOsman >:)

Nathan Osman

This is Canada - where you pay stupid expensive prices for Internet.

Not like Europe where things are more reasonable.

Kaz Wolfe

TIL rural america == canada

Rinzwind

@NathanOsman at least you got maple syrup >:-D

Kaz Wolfe

10:14 PM

hey, America has good maple syrup too. Costco sells tubs of it.

Rinzwind

naah you imported it from Canada >:)

Kaz Wolfe

yeah, but we still can consume it here

and that's all that matters.

Rinzwind

too tired :(((

back tomorrow :)

Byte Commander

@NathanOsman you mean like unlimited 400 MBit/s down and 20 up, including a highspeed wifi router and free access to many wifi hotspots all over the country for 65€/month?

Kaz Wolfe

@ByteCommander 20 down, 400 up? that's... unusual.

Byte Commander

10:21 PM

Blegh, other way round, of course...

Kaz Wolfe

also why the hell are you using your ISP's router? That's a terrible idea.

Byte Commander

Must.

Kaz Wolfe

but mah symmetric

also, still a terrible idea.

those things have all sorts of security issues at best.

Byte Commander

I mean there is a law now that customers should theoretically have the freedom to buy their own devices, but...

I think it's still difficult.

Zacharee1

So Nougat can do this....

Kaz Wolfe

10:23 PM

so android now has X11? neat.

Zacharee1

Sigh

Kaz Wolfe

what?

Zacharee1

It's buggy as hell, but that might just be LG Stock

Nathan Osman

@Zacharee1 How do you enable that?

Zacharee1

@KazWolfe it's not X11

Nathan Osman

10:24 PM

We all know it's not X11.

Kaz Wolfe

it has a window manager. X11 is a window manager.

Nathan Osman

X11 is a display server.

It's not a window manager.

Kaz Wolfe

same difference.

still allows multi-window

hmm. debating picking one of these up

amazon.com/dp/B01LWRTRZU

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman use an ADB shell: adb shell settings put global enable_freeform_support 1. You shouldn't need root, but you will if you want to do it straight from a terminal emulator on the phone. Also enable the Force Resize option toward the bottom of DevOps. Reboot and you'll see a new button in the app titles in Recents.

Byte Commander

hybrid hdd with automatic flash cache?

Zacharee1

10:26 PM

@KazWolfe sound logic.

Nathan Osman

Cool.

Kaz Wolfe

@Zacharee1 it. was. a. joke -_-

@ByteCommander yeah, it's not a bad price...

Zacharee1

@KazWolfe gigabytes? Isn't SATA Gb?

@KazWolfe I know

Byte Commander

I don't like that type of disks.

Preferring true HDDs and true SSds.

Zacharee1

SSHDs work alright

Byte Commander

10:28 PM

That way you at least know what you have and where you have it and are not depending on the good will of the disk controller.

Kaz Wolfe

true...

and this will be an OS drive.

Zacharee1

@ByteCommander data purgatory?

@KazWolfe just OS? Probably fine

Byte Commander

Also, secure erase... only trust true HDDs there.

Kaz Wolfe

this is still cheaper than other 1TB 2.5 @ 7200 drives....

@ByteCommander provided my secure erase is stick it in a high-power electromagnet...

@Zacharee1 $100 says the first number on your messages list is 456.

Zacharee1

@KazWolfe ding ding ding. It's T-Mobile. How'd you guess :p

Kaz Wolfe

10:30 PM

i saw it underneath the redaction

and i get those messages every month.

Nathan Osman

SSDs have a secure erase function.

And in fact, it's the only safe way to do things.

Only the controller can truly access every block.

(Due to wear-levelling, etc.)

Kaz Wolfe

but we need to trust the controller in that case

still, don't get hybrid drives?

Zacharee1

@KazWolfe you're not tmo

@KazWolfe there's a chance of data loss on all drives, so SSHDs don't sound too bad

Kaz Wolfe

10:47 PM

i'll see if i can find a real 7200 around here. if not, i'll order one

Q: Running 'chmod 777 *' on home directory

I accidentally ran chmod 777 * on my home directory. Will It be a problem? Then how to solve it?

16.04 permissions chmod

Is this a valid dupe-close? I mean, OP didn't run -R

Byte Commander

@NathanOsman yes, but that way you can always only erase the entire drive at once, not just partitions or single files. And you need a computer that doesn't freeze your disk's security at boot, like most laptops do.
