So no hard feelings :)
Well...
(may everybody feel free to personally interpret whatever is right or wrong as they prefer)
replace with something is wrong with that api i was poking, and it bothers me and that was totally me for a week
2 AM, disappears
@ByteCommander hah. i did a 3:30 AM commit this week
@RPiAwesomeness cc @Seth and @Mateo, you were mentioned in this post but were not pinged. YOU NOW ARE.
on an unrelated note, i need coffee.
00:13
@RobotHumans Nice, I was only up to 2:30 Saturday before easter
We were installing the ir touch screen on the video wall project
@KazWolfe I thought about pinging them, figured it wasn't something that needed to be a ping
@RPiAwesomeness well i ping people so
Looks like that gathered a good amount of votes, petition to use KDE instead of gnome for ubuntu
shame canonical doesn't care about us
shrug just run the KDE respin ;p
vote with your paws and all that
00:27
Meh, path of least resistance and all that, mostly need it to work - settled on plain Ubuntu because of some fullscreen bugs
But both KDE and gnome I seemed to do quite a bit of messing around before comfortable
@NathanOsman I always have fond memories of the time I tried to upgrade libc6 onthe raspi, and learned of the command - aptitude install aptitude
Lol.
That's why I wrote escapefromlibc.
@NathanOsman escapefromlibc?
writes "ReturnToLibc" and spreads it as a virus across the world
01:10
o/ @Mateo - long time no see.
Hi
Anything fun on your end?
The video wall was exciting, got it to a point but was crashing on the old computer, now we have a new one running it really smoothly
That happens when prototyping :)
Had to be over 10,000 altogether I think
01:18
10000 pixels wide? or total pixels? Either way, pretty impressive.
Dollars
Oh. Ouch. That stings a little.
Three 1080 50in monitors, a rail mount, full wall decal, custom lexan sheet a 90in ir touch frame, a matrox card witouth display port outout that also does a combined desktop and bezel gap correction, then a i7 computer to run it
And an engineer custom made the brackets to hold the touch screen
The order of operation on hanging was intresting, since the TV tilts to hang it on the rail, and reaching the cords once it was hung
@Mateo nice on bezel correction.
this seems offtopic...

Q: Summing List of Vectors in Data Frame

Sam CI have the matrix below where each row corresponds to a movie. My goal is to summarize each actor by adding together (via summation) each keyword vector for any movie they have been in, as actor1, actor2, or actor3. My attempt using dplyr was as follows: by_actor = data %>% group_by(actor1) %>...

01:27
Yeah, that was an older picture, ill have to get a better one
... maybe
in case you all want to debate. (I'm bored lol)
I swear to god I get punished for asking questions. I may just not ever ask any questions on SE again unless they're self answers.
My last two were both reasonable and got hammered for as far as I know no reason
Of course it is stackoverflow, so you expect hostility
@RobotHumans that dosen't belong on SO ;p
Its not a programming question
01:29
@JourneymanGeek So, update the answer on meta?
> For the programming side, Stack Overflow is the right place.
cough
@RobotHumans If I may be blunt, its not a good question
Can we walkthrough this a bit?
Do you already own it?
To be sure, end users on superuser won't know. To be sure, EE isn't the right place. So, it was a best fit hard question? and no, I'm trying to decide to buy it or not.
ah.
Ok
What OS do you intend to run on it?
So, the best fit in the meta answer was SO.
@JourneymanGeek any nix.
So, you're saying migrate to UL?
errrr
We need to break it down into a few parts
1) what is the wifi chipset
So start with that (and you got that free) and migrate to U&L with a specific distro in mind
01:35
The only real question is can it do A and B. With that the rest is done. There's not a question.
You should ask "How do I do these"
If you can, the answer will reflect it. if not...
and most of your question feels like fluff
lemme do a suggested edit
Question is gone. No need now.
Quite literally the only relevant line is
"So, the question is, is the bbbw capable of monitoring and injection? "
Yes. I explained where I got the reasoning for asking there since most users on SO are assholes and why it didn't fit anywhere else better in my opinion.
01:37
And that I googled first, so someone didn't have a monster good google search
@RobotHumans "most users on SO are assholes " zat attitude...
Yeah. It might be where I belong.
lol
Want me to walk through what I did?
Started with a search for google.com/… . Found a shitty low res schematic here github.com/beagleboard/beaglebone-black-wireless/blob/master/… then cross referenced it with cnx-software.com/2016/09/27/…
then googled the chipset model... to get the TI link
then you can do the rest.
01:40
Its strange knowing that the three main web apps I use everyday on my ubuntu phone I put together
yeah. i went with beagleboneblackwireless injection chipset monitor combinations and nothing in the top ten results
lol
for all the dislike I had of my first uni, they taught me to google like a champ.
and it looks like monitoring is unsupported
makes me sad. i thought it wouldn't be though since the only doc that ref-ed my query was with a usb adapter. just thought i'ld check
and lol. I can't think of any site where it'll fit ;p
so I guess that one for perfect for chat
^^ for the love of god don't star that
5
01:45
Yep, we're blaizing a trail
just peculiar timing is all
Now you've done it ;)
can people not see 'deleted' in history?
You need to be a RO or mod
if the thing is offensive purge the conversation
01:48
Mods, but deleted ones don't even have a space or name in the history
well the conversation about there being a deleted comment has gone on long enough.
I like this idea symbolically
@Mateo nah, it's about it being a different company i sort of like and just dropping the whole working thing in their lap then dropping the mic... not making a square peg fit a round hole which is what i see
I am soooo tired.
I don't think even caffeine can help me.
02:29
@Seth I found an alternative to Discourse that seems to be a decent modern alternative: invisionpower.com
oh interesting.
@NathanOsman not free
and has been around forever.
I've seen that before. Yep, on 0 AD.
I mean it isn't free - but neither is vBulletin.
@NathanOsman heh. or write a matrix backed BB ;p
02:30
@NathanOsman which is ridiculous, really.
(cause matrix is awesome)
Discourse is much more mature now.
If we're being fair, Discourse is a paid product too when we're comparing hosted installs.
And not the security risk vBulletin is.
@Seth discourse has a few design decisions that are a pain
like docker only installs.
02:31
Anything that isn't written in PHP gets a +1.
I installed it without docker multiple times.
but that was a long time ago.
@JourneymanGeek There's nothing wrong with Docker. Gives condescending stare.
@Seth Me too and I even documented it: 2buntu.com/articles/1332/installing-discourse-on-ubuntu
@NathanOsman I'd need to redo a lot of my existing environment for it. I already have a pair of databases for example.
Docker is so cool though - you can run multiple isolated instances of PostgreSQL and back them up with the drop of a hat.
@JourneymanGeek Pretty sure they'll help you migrate, if you need it.
02:32
I might pick up a cheap vps or dedi tho
@NathanOsman maybe when I do the rebuild ;p
@JourneymanGeek Scaleway if you don't mind the server being in France.
Their prices are insane.
Otherwise Linode.
@NathanOsman yeah, I run an online,net dedi at the moment
quite reasonably priced
Scaleway has dedicated quad-core ARM servers for less than $5.
anyway, it's well past time the Ubuntu forums came up with a migration scheme.
02:34
And their x86 servers are priced very low too.
@Seth That would start a civil war.
People love their forums.
Remember when we tried Discourse?
I remember.. I remember.
Everyone was up in arms thinking it was replacing their precious forums.
I have nothing against the forums other than the ridiculous antiquated software they use.
I drives me away every time I try to use it.
Exactly.
phpBB is so... 2003.
The web has changed since then.
They don't use phpBB
02:36
Right. Forgot.
I think the last time I ran a forum, it was SMF
free but not permissive licenced but was a dream to run
I remember running phpBB locally on my computer for the family network. It was a fun way to discuss random things.
workplace -2 ran discourse internally ;p
Yes, I actually succeeded in getting it running in Apache on Windows 98.
02:38
(Yes, Apache runs on Windows.)
@JourneymanGeek This was the mid 2000s.
It does ;p
I think my first BB ran perl ...
You know how everyone was reluctant to switch to Windows 8/10 because 7 was so awesome?
ran it atop xitami
That's what it was like when XP came out and everyone was running 98.
We remember XP for refusing to die and we forget Windows 98 was a fighter as well.
Xitami is a Web and FTP server, originally developed by iMatix Corporation as a free, open-source product from 1996 to 2000. It ran as a single process with a small footprint. It was not as fast as the fastest servers but scaled well. It supported several web application protocols and was very portable. It also had a web interface to configure the web/FTP server. In 2009, iMatix launched a new version of Xitami, called X5 (Xitami/5). == History == iMatix started the original Xitami server in 1996 as a demonstration of its "SMT" multithreading technology for building protocol servers. The name was...
@NathanOsman I've always been an early adopter
02:40
I am now but I was still using 98 up until 2008.
So it had a 10 year run :D
Then I jumped straight to Vista.
Boy, those were the best of times; those were the worst of times.
lol
I skipped vista
I skipped 7 :P
ran 7 and 10 in prerelease. XP - got rid of my last production box last year
Went straight from Vista to 8.
Well kinda
upgraded it to 10 ;p
02:42
I upgraded my laptop from Win7 to Win10 and it managed to soft brick itself.
So I reinstalled Win7 from scratch.
Worked fine since.

Q: sed command on 5 gb xml file

SateshWhen I am using the sed and awk command on a 5 gb xml file, the result file is only 20mb. It is not showing any errors. The command is: sed 's/<satesh>/\n<satesh>/1' xyz_20170421_115703.xml > dsk_bkp_1.xml

I'm cloning UnrealEngine - any guesses on how big this repository will be? :P
03:36
@Takkat moved as a question askubuntu.com/q/907608/283843
But didn't test your given command yet
lololololol tf2 hacker in my game. threatening to hack me.
he has an offer of $3,000 if he can successfully execute arbitrary code or steal any file on my desktop.
or $500 if he can even DDoS me.
all in bitcoin ofc
oh, OH!
My ping! It's....
going down
rekt
hmmmm... this is not going well. should i give him my ip address?
04:03
another thing: apps that refuse to work without unnecessary perms
@KazWolfe tell him it's 127.0.0.1
or no, even better: apps that decide to use their unnecessary perms in abusive ways.
This comment on reddit perfectly sums up DRM in music/video:
> We've reached the point where high quality rips of movies (screeners, not cams) are online in the first week of the theatre run reliably...and yet Hollywood keeps bragging about record box office sales with every tent pole film. Either business is booming or rampant piracy is hurting it. You can't have your cake, eat it, charge other people to watch, and then bitch constantly about how you need more cake.
@KazWolfe so did you lose?
aaanyways... just so you all are aware, i need to take a break from askubuntu for reasons, mostly so i don't do anything i won't regret.
i'll still be on discord if anyone needs me.

Rebooting to install Budgie :-)
or not :P since the usb creator does not want to finish :X
ok here we go :) 07:10
:)
almost done :)
7:20 done \o/ rebooting
05:24
I DID IT!!! \o/
@Seth I finally beat my brother at 0 A.D.
It was a massacre.
I stealthily sneaked into some secluded parts of the map and ran a catapult manufacturing spree.
By the time he realized what had happened, I had 30 catapults pummelling his city walls.
the FBI is on their way :=D
I had strategically placed civic centers that could produce a stream of horsemen who finished off the job.
and being SNEAKY always pays off >:)
05:30
Nice @NathanOsman!!!
To answer my earlier question...
2 hours ago, by Nathan Osman
I'm cloning UnrealEngine - any guesses on how big this repository will be? :P
It was 987 MB.
Building it now...
1 thing though @NathanOsman 1 win does not mean you won the war. Kick him when he is down and do it again. and again. and again. and again. and again. and again. and again. and again. and again. and again. and again. and again. and again. and again. and again. and again. and again.
 
2 hours later…
07:16
haha that was confusing until I scrolled up a little bit
:D
1st impressions Budgie looks better than Gnome 3 @fossfreedom But don't start a party yet. There was not a lot needed for that to happen :-X
@Rinzwind only if he moves.
jman! :)
07:55
Hey, Wimzy runs Budgie!
I don't snap there a ball from @Zanna, but it's not my subject either.
08:29
snap there a ball????????
yesterday, by Jacob Vlijm
@Zanna "Ik snap er geen bal van" equals "I have no idea what it means"
:)
@JacobVlijm :) I remembered haha
Still every time a shock if it turns out my close vote works immediately :) askubuntu.com/questions/907668/…
08:38
Haha, yeah, that works :)
:)
user136984
09:11
@RPiAwesomeness I was just thinking about it, I have been for a while now as it just felt like something didn't quite fit... And then I realised how ridiculous it was, and as I also believe in energetic stuff that seemed to fit better. Although the energetic belief at one end is pretty close to evolution except without all the random, but on the other end of what it could mean is God... I kind of believe that they are the same thing.
user136984
That the natural order of the world is God and God is the natural order.
user136984
My beliefs get rather confusing for most people at this point. :D
I am waiting to shake hands with Her.
user136984
I am a Buddhist, however I accept a lot of things from Christianity to be true, as well as Shintoism and Hinduism. I do not believe that what I take from them to contradict each other, in fact the religions are very compatible if you look at them properly. They just have different words for very similar things.
user136984
@jokerdino: Oh, you won't, if you get enlightened your soul will become one with hers, or rather realise that it always was.
user136984
09:15
There is also no gender involved.
Is there any shape involved?
user136984
Not really, God is not separate from you, God is the world and the way of it.
user136984
God is in no way a separate entity, think of it as the entirety of the universe taking care of itself and that which lives in it, and is it.
God is everything?
user136984
And everything is God.
user136984
09:18
I was once a Militant Atheist and hated it when people were so unclear about their definitions of God and similar, now I am one of those people. :P
Good to know.
monism
user136984
Also, I don't believe in an indefinite heaven and hell, there are realms, but you are reborn into them, and you can even be reborn as a devil such as the daemon lord Mara, but Mara may one day be reborn and become enlightened.
@jokerdino God is everything and arch is god
just look at this
so beautiful
09:21
inb4 b&
If I am not misunderstanding all this ^ started with a discussion on milk?
I don't know.
@Avery that is fast
user136984
@JacobVlijm: Uhm... Yeah... Kind of... :D
@Zanna I never ever saw my pc boot this fast ever
it's really crazy
user136984
09:23
That was just an argument though, this started with disproving the Theory of Evolution, through milk. :P
sure setup is a pain but the 5 second boot is worth it
user136984
@Avery: Arch is the best system, I'm running it here. :)
I can't call something best or not
Ubuntu and flavors are "best" for end users and people not wanting their stuff to potentially break with every -Syu.
@ParanoidPanda I have a book about how lactase persistence evolved evil smile
user136984
@Avery: I've only ever had one thing break because of that, and it wasn't even that, it was because I deleted my current passwd file which was needed for sudo, before I used sudo to copy in the new one! :D
09:28
heh
user136984
But Arch is certainly a very easy install if you know what you are doing.
user136984
And it is also very fast and you have basically full control over it. So it is very good in that sense.
yeah
user136984
@Zanna: It's not that I am saying that there is no evolution, I just have my own non-random mechanics behind it. The current scientific evidence doesn't appear to point either way, either of the theories could be true.
user136984
It just confirms that there is evolutionary change.
user136984
09:30
But not the workings of it.
Interesting subject. In performing on stage, many difficult mind stuff (being nervous, black outs, losing control over conscious functions) we have to deal with, are extremely useful mechanisms in their original context. @Zanna. We are running too fast ahead on our evolution it seems :)
user136984
@terdon: Also, sorry, I got really sleepy last night because it was after midnight that we were talking and shall we say I went slightly off-topic with my argument, still valid arguments more or less, but not really what we were talking about specifically... :D
user136984
I kind of forgot what we were talking so I just started with my usual.
user136984
:P
@JacobVlijm it would indeed be nice if I didn't want to run away as fast as possible and climb a very high tree any time I have to speak in front of an audience
09:33
...I know the feeling haha.
user136984
But the speed and also the good the evolution does to certain people and their generations is going to really entirely depend upon the energetic development of the person. You can't just take a random big group of people test them, the results are going to be all over the place, or more likely, nowhere at all because most people aren't very good at least in these times with their energetics.
user136984
We are coming to the end of the world and the creation of a new according to Hinduism anyway.
user136984
And I do believe that to be true.
There are excellent techniques though to handle it, but it takes a deisciplined preparation. @Zanna
...But you probably know
no haha
09:41
@Zanna disabled grub timeout. Even faster now, haha
4.20 seconds
my GRUB is playing up since I installed 17.04
lost the MATE theme and it's unresponsive to keyboard for about 2 seconds
I might Ask a Question about it
I might switch to systemd-boot for even less grub waiting stuff
does that sound like something that would get closed?
@Avery that's a thing?
user136984
@Avery: Why do you use Grub? Systemd-boot much better. Or do you not have UEFI?
@Zanna apparently
@ParanoidPanda I do have UEFI
I'm just dumb I guess :P
user136984
09:43
Then Grub won't actually be the best option.
and used to grub
(I'm not even dual booting)
to this day I've never ever used something other than grub
and I've used linux starting at like 2009
2007?
@Avery newbie :=) we used to use lilo >:)
user136984
Does the Prince of Darkness live in thy bowels as well?
I prolly used it a little before then
user136984
09:46
I suspect he likes Grub as well...
I probably (< if I didn't lose them) have knoppix disks from late 90s but never ever used them
heck I remember a time where we never HEARD of dual boot :=D
user136984
Oh, and that's not necessarily talking to anybody in particular by the way...
@Avery do you still have AOL CDs? >:-D
I think I have a CD with an installer for Ubuntu 6.06 somewhere :P
user136984
I think he just needs a hug...
user136984
09:47
Then he will go.
@Rinzwind no but I have superonline CDs, which is the turkish equivalent of AOL
I used dialup in my short lived life (am 16)
seems the same yes _O-
I started with a 1200 baud modem at work :X
sigh Budgie has some of the same issues as Gnome 3 :****
my pc had a modem in itself IIRC
lol
internal modems! <3
they were a little more reliable
my first pc is still out there somewhere
09:50
@Avery I had dial up text only internet
probably on Tekirdag, IIRC I gave to my grandparents.
@JourneymanGeek :O
user136984
Hmm... I am trying to explain to a friend of mine this bowels thing... But he doesn't seem to get how he got there in the first place...
that's some real old days right there
@Rinzwind I think I used ubuntu 8 at some point
I fell in love with computers somewhere around 1988. At school we got 2 8086 computers. It had 1 5 1/4" disk drive <3 It came with Lotus 123 and DOS. And you could not use it for anything else
and raged at the switch to unity at, uuuh, was it ubuntu 10?
09:51
lol
and I went back to windows
The switch to gnome will be worse :X
came back at 16.04, moved to 16.10, killed the setup after making a mistake, moved to budgie 17.04 alpha, then installed plasma and used that on 17.04 base for a month or two, moved to kde neon last week and moved to arch two days ago
ThatÅ› a lot of installs :=)
yeah
user136984
09:53
:D
the "moved to arch" includes 3 failed attempts of installing arch before getting it to work
I used 17.04 gnome 3 now for 2 weeks. Just installed Budgie this morning
user136984
I used to be a Windows user and only came to Linux when 14.10 was the cool thing to have. And then about 6 months ago or so I switched to Arch.
user136984
It's been a great ride! Can't stand KDE though, I have GNOME. :P
@Avery first time I mounted efi on /boot, forgot wireless AND wired drivers on second, broke xorg on third, got it to work on 4
09:54
Budgie too kills my startup applications when I close the lid. I hate that
Hmmm from the chat here it seems I will end up on arch? >:DDD
and today I'll break #4 by trying to move to systemd-boot and raging a bit and then going "oh well" and reinstalling everything.
user136984
This guy's name is "Sir Eric Pickles"!!! :D
user136984
here's more on my arch adventures
in The Bridge, 2 days ago, by Avery
ubuntu? friggin peasant! you know you want to deal with all these (see below) for hours just for a simple thing! UBUNTU IS CHEATING.

(repost from linux discord) how to login to discord:
- install arch (to efi partition facepalm)
- reinstall arch (but forget wifi drivers)
- reinstall arch properly
- install xfce
- install kde plasma
- try to run kde plasma, see it fails
- mess with it, fall back to xfce
- install pacaur
- install discord-canary, keeweb and keybase-bin from pacaur
- login to keybase with paper key
user136984
user136984
09:56
He looks just like his name! :D
user136984
:D
user136984
When will they start working on 17.10?
user136984
And will it be 18.04 when Unity will cease to be installed by default at all?
@ParanoidPanda yes
and 17.10 will start in a few weeks
