@terdon: Yeah, that's just creepy...

user136984

It's weird, there are like so many guides online called something like "How to become a Vegan" or Vegetarian, but nothing about how to best become a Meat-eater/Omnivorous, so like if you have no clue about these things, but have to change due to health reasons, there doesn't seem to be much information out there about what you actually do. That is if you have no sense of what and how much of that what, to actually eat.

user136984

It turns out that running to your local sushi shop and getting lots of raw fish (especially as I have never actually had raw fish before), is a bad idea. But it's really the chicken that my stomach is complaining about.

user136984

Actually, I feel very very strange.

user136984

Maybe I have overdone it a little. I haven't had any meet in about 4-5 years now, so maybe this is a bit of a shock to the body...

@SergiyKolodyazhnyy Well it's good to say "hi" again in real time. It's been a long time since we chatted.

How is your 4 year university program completed over 7 years coming along? :)

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

Indeed :) Been a while. Eh, the university program is hopefully drawing to a conclusion. I'm taking 3 classes in fall, among which will be senior project 2 - building part. We're making network connected coffee maker

If everything is passed, I then have like one class left in spring and then I'm free

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Great. I can buy you a coffee from Edmonton then :p

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

Hehe, awesome ! I'll go with some Tim Horton then

I am looking at /proc/net/udp and intentionally overflowing an application with udp datagrams. I can see many of them get lost. And I can see rq_queue increasing and stagnating at 00038700.

why this specific value? I'd expect to see a value which corresponds to whatever is setup in sysctl -a

You've net.ipv4.udp_mem there, maybe that's what's imposing the limit. Just a guess, I've no clue about UDP

4. Don't be politically correct.

@TheWanderer The first time I heard the word "firefighter" being used instead of "fireman" I heard "firefarter"

@TheWanderer I had to ask 3 times "WTF is a firefarter?" before the other person understood I'd never heard "firefighter" before...

It was only after I said "Oh, FIREMAN!" they said "That's a politically incorrect word..."

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

@Fabby Hey Fabby. Long time no see. I was AFK just now. Well, AFP, since I'm on phone

Fabby

:D ;-) :D

@SergiyKolodyazhnyy It's Sunday night and I'm surfing the Close Vote Queue and watching Space 1999 for the first time since I was a young teenager...

I remember it being "Wow!" when I was 12 and "meh..." now

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

19:34

I could rewatch something, like The Great Wall movie. I've been watching a lot of Chinese TV series lately. Pity one of them is delayed, the channel I follow uploads like 2 episodes after 3 days of break :/

Which ia kinda annoying, but makes it even more interesting. I wanna know what's happening with the Fox Lord and his beloved human

1:36 pm here btw. Still haven't eaten. Probably will do eggs, bacon, and rice

From my teen years, I just remember Natalia Oreiro's TV series, Sailormoon, and a couple Ukrainian series. Maybe I could rewatch some of that

Fabby

@SergiyKolodyazhnyy What? You didn't cook full breakfast for your girlfriends this morning?

;-) >:-) ;-)

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

@Fabby I'm single at the moment, so no. Piling bachelor dishes in the sink.

Well, it's complicated if we're talking about relationship.

Fabby

@SergiyKolodyazhnyy eggs, bacon and fried bread then: eat from the pan and no dishes to do...

:D ;-) :D

@SergiyKolodyazhnyy Ah, you're dating a married woman...

;-) >:-) ;-)

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

@Fabby Lol, no. I once did though. Current interest is single, but dating someone else. And she's like 10 years older. Actually my first romantic interest was also 10 years older

Again, it's complicated

Fabby

Yeah... She's single but dating someone else?

Or is that "trying to date someone else?"

stay around because you'll be second choice, but don't get into the friend zone...

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

19:44

@Fabby Well, technically, her interest lives in another state. I'm on friends status, even though our common "friend" set us up for a blind date, and then we started hanging out occasionally

Fabby

When "friend" comes over tell him to chat her up, then leave and push you into her arms...

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

And I probably shouldn't focus too much on relationship right now. Need to graduate, get a job, maintain paying mortgage with parents

Fabby

I've done that multiple times...

@SergiyKolodyazhnyy Well, that's important too!

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

Nah, she's got her own mind. No need for pushing. All adults.

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

And done ! Did fried rice with wood ear mushroom, bacon, peas, and spinach, topped with onion powder, basil, and salt

And eggs of course, since it's fried rice

A: How to prevent root login from GNOME 3 login screen (Arch Linux)?

This can be achieved as stated here by adding the following line: auth [user_unknown=ignore success=ok ignore=ignore default=bad] pam_securetty.so To these files (some may not already exist and have to be created): /etc/pam.d/gdm /etc/pam.d/gdm-autologin /etc/pam.d/gdm-fingerprint /etc/pam.d/...

Goodnight! All this chicken has tired me out! :D

user136984

@Fabby: I must be off before I turn into a bacon pumpkin! ;P

Fabby

@ParanoidPanda :D :D :D

@SergiyKolodyazhnyy @Zanna might be interested in the recipe (minus the bacon and eggs)...

Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy

22:11

@Fabby Recipe is simple: toss in the rice, warm it up till it breaks down, then toss everything else, and fry till golden

It's not like I'm a master cook. I just fry everything together and hope for the best

Fabby

That's how you become a master chef!
