@KazWolfe Creepy as in "How do they know peoples' salary and political interest?"

@ByteCommander creepy as in "these people are watching everything we do on the internet"

I blocked them.

Part of my "untrusted" list in NoScript.

That page shows overwhelming amount of Asian ethnicity on AskUbuntu . . . which doesn't seem quite accurate . . . which also makes me doubt those guys

OK, so how do I become actually productive and do homework and such ?

Tell me the secret if you ever find that out.

@Serg Get yourself some coffee and then just start doing what has to be done ! :D

Kinda sounds like a plan . . .

:D

Goodbye :)

@cl-netbox Bye :) See you tomorrow

Grrrr....

I'm not happy.

I flashed the MM ROM on my N7, and now all my files are showing as 0B

Crossing my fingers that it's just Android and I'll be able to get them from TWRP

I really wish TWRP backed up /data/media

What good is a Nandroid backup if it doesn't have your files?

Now doing a CP -R to my computer :)

I need a prolific editor over here: askubuntu.com/a/874013/208574 (cc @Zanna)

ty :D

Hello people!

It's been long since my last chat visit here!

250 EHLO

I have an off-topic question as I don't know where to turn to: Even if I am not visibly active on the website, I almost daily visit AskUbuntu, so I am permanently logged in. About two months ago I got curious about Area 51 and created an account there (using the same as on AU). I committed to a community or two, had a little activity there, all fine and well. A few days ago, I even got a reply from someone over there. But today, after, visting AU, I checked on Area 51 only to discover that...

I have to log in again. OK, I did that, but I ended up with another Area 51 account, almost identical to the old one!

And now I have two of them, both apparently realted to teh rest of my SE accounts.

How's that even possible and to whom do I have to turn to in order to get this duplicate fixed?

And, of course get my old Area 51 access back?

Go here -- meta.askubuntu.com/contact

This is something that SE themselves has to deal with.

or do it from the A51 contact page.

Either way, you need to contact SE directly and ask them to merge your account or otherwise fix the issue.

But maybe the more direct approach suggested by you is a much better solution.

@ThomasWard is throwin' down! Straight 🔥🔥🔥

just EC things

throws @KazWolfe into /dev/urandom for a scrambling

@ThomasWard hey. it's a compliment.

I know, but I'm proving a point.

hence why it's just straight fire

@Kaz probably best to just leave Evan alone :)

just FYI

yeah, probably. *goes back to stalking /review*

@ArtOfCode I just smacked @KazWolfe here via Discord, I think he gets the idea now :)

raises eyebrows

can confirm, face is still red.

What's the discord thing?

also, cut yo nails thomas, ya drew blood.

at least it was a slap and not a phaser rifle at max power being fired

Bye people! Thanks!

@chaskes alternate off-the-record chat where things aren't binding or serious.

thx but I meant where is it. I'm not familiar

@chaskes discord.gg

@KazWolfe where's the AU channel?

thx. but that ^

discord.gg/7ACfg

that. and as @ByteCommander isn't giving me manage channel perms, i need to generate new ones.

oooh I'm trusted apparently

yes, you have a diamond.

i think you can be trusted.

if you go rogue, we know who to blame

if he goes rogue, i'll be on him before thomas can even say "space lazer"

I don't even know what that gets me :)

#help-and-rules explains it all

how does it feel to be a pleb in the discord @ArtOfCode

lol

@edwinksl i cri evertim

shh bby is ok

he can beg @ByteCommander for mod.

begs @ByteCommander :)

lol

tell ya what, @ArtOfCode. I'll trade SE mod for Discord mod :)

same

good deal i reckon

@KazWolfe you'd have to talk to Jon, Shog, or Tim then :)

I know Jon is around

i bet these 3 will gladly trade community manager for discord mod

they're probably all around one way or another, just hiding from the great unwashed

@ArtOfCode, don't mention shog around here lol.

(unless you're threatening @ThomasWard)

(or @Serg)

:P

@KazWolfe if you mention Shog anywhere, he just turns up. You learn to not be mortally terrified of it after a while.

there's still a lot of salt from the Great Rep Recalc.

@KazWolfe Are you threatening me?

@ThomasWard Not at the moment.

good :)

@KazWolfe I tried on Area 51 contact page by choosing the "merge duplicate accounts" default category. after clicking "submit" I got an error mesage sounding something like that : "this operation can't be performed here, please go to the main site". If that operation can't be performed there, then why is that category created in the first place?! It's not logical.

eh, just go to StackOverflow and do it there then, i guess.

Or use the "Other" field.

@KazWolfe Already done that (and mentioned this issue too).

Then you're good, just wait to hear something from them

Other field I mean

Yup.

I hope so.

Thanks again!

@ArtOfCode Thou shall not speak the name of the unspeakable one

@KazWolfe meh, doesn't spoop me too much

heh

Even if shog brings my rep all the way down to 0, I'll still stick around and keep writing scripts.

Bye!

Hi and Bye , Christi !

@Serg no, you won't.

You need 1 reputation to post. If Shog sets you to 0, you have nothing.

heh

@KazWolfe or it'll be a 50year suspend

and same effect

@ThomasWard max suspend is 1 year :P

@KazWolfe Shog is god, he can do it

@KazWolfe oh no it ain't :)

do not dispute the Shog.

@KazWolfe And @ArtOfCode is right, that is not the max.

b-but... stackoverflow.blog/2009/04/a-day-in-the-penalty-box

are they lying to us?

max suspend is "how crabby did you make Shog, and has he had enough whiskey this morning?"

@KazWolfe yes :)

max suspension a moderator can impose is 365 days.

CMs are not limited

@ArtOfCode Wow, that's rude.

CMs are overlords, all hail the CMs.

So CMs can godmode you into oblivion.

tsk,tsk. Shog is bae, no need to be so spooped

yes, we all love Shog.

We just make fun of him in a kind way :)

I been pinged?

You have for no good reason.

pretty much :)

as always, I guess...

95% of my pings are useless.

well according to the Wheel of Blame, it is Shog's fault, so therefore we can blame Shog on your ping, @ByteCommander

@ByteCommander now you have been

@ByteCommander I believe at least one of those pings was me listening to @Kaz and begging for mod

honestly... listening to Kaz, what was I thinking :)

@ArtOfCode At least you learned.

Most people don't get past that part.

if you do actual work over here, @ArtOfCode, you might get mod :P

one day

once upon a time...

Don't you already have like 3 diamonds or so?

@ByteCommander 2, but yes

that's it. i'm bringing wolfbot online in read-only mode to snipe any deleted messages.

speaking of which, I should check on them

Many enough.

@KazWolfe or, y'know, just ask a friendly neighborhood mod

@ArtOfCode the former is easier.

and i have to talk to fewer people.

the latter is less easy, not all of the mods are friendly mods :P

200 \o/

Kaz knows this :)

4 more days to go

okay, to be fair, no mods went nuclear on me for anything yet.

yet

@ArtOfCode are you sure? I bet you can ban someone twice in a row >:-D

@KazWolfe that's the operative word :P

I can arrange that if you want @KazWolfe

@Rinzwind We can test this theory on you :) Care to try?

I'm sure once they discover the body WHAT BODY THERE IS NO BODY CARRY ON

@ThomasWard pft. a mod like you? >:)

so that's a 'yes' then?

can confirm. he said yes.

accidentally bans everyone

whoops

you did not even dare to remove all my rep

You are authorized to fire Ion Cannon 6A with full force.

And now you gonna ban me?

i already banned everyone, sorry, none of you exist.

except me, I'm still here

hi there

hey Kaz

you need a cause :D

hmmm. i should go get 40/40

mint: askubuntu.com/questions/876256/…

bb2m

Wa-PAM!

I'm gonna git that bounteh !!! askubuntu.com/a/876263/295286

Maybeh . . .if lucho likes my scripts

stupid flu

@Seth hi five, we're both sick

o/

oh, welcome Seth.

hi

@Seth Is this promoting a personal service (spam) or just a misguided attempt to be helpful? askubuntu.com/a/876252/117123

@chaskes just misguided. go ahead and remove the email.

Already did

thx to both

Kind of funny to leave a comment saying "don't post self-promotion into answers" , when pretty much all I do is self promotion within my answers :D

well, referencing an open source github is diff from a support email at a com address.

feck. I'm thinking maybe i should skip tomorrow morning lecture and stay in bed, get back to health

because I'm opening labs all weekend, basically working whole day

woo. starting new job monday.

no more phone support?

sorta.

software engineering now

you're leaving the dark side?!

we have cookies!

\o/

What area or technology will it be?

(front/back/full; language; ...)

anyway, should get some sleep. Night... o/

oh, sorry, had coffee.

backend work, but i'll still be doing plenty of admin

and of course doing AskUbuntu full time.

they want me in a hybrid dev and devops role (sorta-ish).

@Seth I shall always be one with the dark side. My sysadmin roots shall not be forgotten.

Git all the bountez : askubuntu.com/a/876278/295286
