So what do people think of Patrick Steward returning as Captain Picard?

Rinzwind

1st thought: I like it :)

It'll depend on the story though :P

Q: How to set permissions for vsftpd server?

I'm not quite sure how to configure my ftp server: There are several customers of service1. They all should be able to download the software which they need for service1. Customers of service2 should of course not see those files. If I would create a user account for each customer, I would have...

Q: Ask Ubuntu new site theme is live

We rolled out the new site theme for Ask Ubuntu. It is now live. What new theme? If you're like, "What the heck are you talking about?", then you should read the Meta Stack Exchange post entitled Rollout of new network site themes (and maybe the posts it links to for the full background). Yo...

@AskUbuntuMeta -1, the refresh of the page crashed Chrome, I had to purge my entire browser profile

Note 9 is announced

it's exactly what everyone expected

muru

@ThomasWard can you add the featured tag to that post and remove it from the earlier announcement?

(and also poke terdon to do it for the similar posts on U&L)

Thomas Ward

you're more than capable of poking terdon.

he's also "not available" currently

as for me, as soon as Meta loads, I might be able to.

actually

@muru it isn't 'featured' tagged, it's just gotten a lot of views, so it's not something I can 'remove' from the featured list.

muru

@ThomasWard oh, it was, looks like Joe removed the tag when they made the new post. meta.askubuntu.com/posts/18038/revisions

Thomas Ward

shrugs

new one's tagged now

muru

Thanks anyway!

Thomas Ward

16:03

and your answer edited to reflect the bug was fixed :P (I just added status-completed next to your bug tag)

muru

\o\|o|/o/

Thomas Ward

ten bucks says people are going to gripe over the change though. Oh wait, that's a given, so that means I win :P

muru

Oblig.

There are probably children out there holding down spacebar to stay warm in the winter! YOUR UPDATE MURDERS CHILDREN.

Thomas Ward

i'm more concerned about "The theme changes fubar'd my userscript!" complaints

because then we have to ~~banish the user to the Void for all of time~~ tell them "So fix your script!" and mass close all of their complaints

TheWanderer

16:20

I just fixed my theme

not much was broken actually

this unified theme will be nice though, because I'll be able to make a single CSS file for all SE sites

Rinzwind

I so do not like this new theme :(

@ThomasWard gimme your bankaccountnumber

Thomas Ward

:P

Rinzwind

I now only see 5 topics on the FP

Thomas Ward

I see 6 - "hot meta posts" has one :P

Kaz Wolfe

hello everyone

new design is pretty

dessert

I saw 5 topics, now after blocking away things like the now useless red banner I barely see 6. Yes, it’s frustrating.

@TheWanderer would you share it when it’s ready?

TheWanderer

it's already public what I have

haha, the positioning of the “Thanks for flagging” message is slightly off

@KazWolfe wolfy!

@Seth hi there seth

Seth

wassup

Kaz Wolfe

19:48

not much

finally back on ubuntu

stupid oem wiped my partition, but new ssd and we're back. 18.04 is nice

Kaz Wolfe

20:13

this wifi drop issue is driving me mad.

TheWanderer

I can't imagine what having a broken suspend would do to you

Thomas Ward

20:28

@TheWanderer it'd require you to just shut down and cold start every time you don't want your computer to use power

TheWanderer

lose your session

have to reopen everything

let your IDE sit there and sync

Thomas Ward

so basically what Windows 95 was :P

or what DOS was.

TheWanderer

DOS took 2 seconds to start up though

Thomas Ward

or what the original UNIX was like.

TheWanderer

and didn't have multitasking

Kaz Wolfe

20:31

broken suspend is easier than having your wifi randomly drop without telling you

Thomas Ward

@KazWolfe at least it isn't your electrical current to your residence regularly dipping below safe levels and browning-out your hardware to the point it dies.

Kaz Wolfe

i have no ground. does that count?

TheWanderer

just means you're in the cloud

Thomas Ward

or that you've been absorbed into The Matrix, but...

TheWanderer

@KazWolfe my whole house dealt with terrible internet for over a year because someone forgot to remove a downstream filter from the pole when the system was upgraded

meaning we had 1 downstream channel for 25Mbit/s cable

that did not go well

Kaz Wolfe

20:33

calling support does wonders :)

TheWanderer

took a while for it to get bad enough

at first it wasn't too noticeable

Thomas Ward

my guest network for my guests is one channel of 6KBps Internet

TheWanderer

but then it was

Thomas Ward

i think my guests have it worse than you did with cable :P

Kaz Wolfe

wow, thomas

TheWanderer

20:34

why would you do that

Kaz Wolfe

my guests are just deprioritized

Thomas Ward

@TheWanderer because I am Chaotic Evil >:D

TheWanderer

oh

that seems very orderly though

strict limit of 6KB/s

chaos would be 6-110 randomly

Thomas Ward

@TheWanderer Shared by all guests.

Kaz Wolfe

who visits you though

TheWanderer

20:35

lol

Thomas Ward

@KazWolfe People.

TheWanderer

still a set limit Tommy Boy

Kaz Wolfe

Your cat is not a people.

TheWanderer

'tisn't chaotic

Thomas Ward

@TheWanderer That's where the 'shared internet' factor comes in, because they all get anywhere between 1 bps or 5Bps for each connection :P

I also have a randomness assigned to who gets more than the rest :P

TheWanderer

20:36

what

Kaz Wolfe

sure

Thomas Ward

@KazWolfe Allergic to them, I don't have one.

you do realize I have friends over regularly lol. They all want my home cooking.

TheWanderer

he actually has 5

Thomas Ward

stole his mother's cookbook one day, copied the recipes, made revisions since

TheWanderer

so it's not yours

IP violations

Thomas Ward

20:38

actually it is since i made revisions :P

TheWanderer

CALL THE GOVT

Thomas Ward

lol

TheWanderer

@ThomasWard Apple sued people for taking "slide to unlock" and revising it

careful you aren't sued over apples :p

Thomas Ward

but if the recipe book was my mom's hand written recipes and she said I could copy them before I "stole" the cookbook

Kaz Wolfe

but did you receive permission to modify that intellectual property

Thomas Ward

20:38

I win

@KazWolfe "Fair Use"

:p

TheWanderer

then you didn't steal

which means you lied

Thomas Ward

shush. purges the chat messages

TheWanderer

that can be a criminal offense in some cases

CALL THE GOVT

Thomas Ward

let's move on to more productive things.

like finding bugs in the new site theme :p

TheWanderer

that's not possible

Kaz Wolfe

20:39

tunes in to thomas' local police frequencies

TheWanderer

the new site theme is perfect

Thomas Ward

lies, there are/were bugs in it.

TheWanderer

nothing wrong with it at all

it's like Metro

a true masterpiece

Kaz Wolfe

bug: my questions arent at the top

also a bug: it has colors. we don't need no stinking css or js!

Thomas Ward

also a bug: everyone's post shows up as being posted by Rick Astley.

(or at least it does with this userscript I found lol)

ANYWAYS

I'm not the demon though

Thomas Ward

i should probably go home, i'm going more insane here at work lol, it's making me super silly...

TheWanderer

yes, you're going insane

that didn't happen a year ago

Kaz Wolfe

20:45

good to see you're still the exact same person, thomas

Thomas Ward

@KazWolfe you mean crazy insane chaotic evil person who just happens to be stable at the same time? Yeah that isn't changing any time soon :P

Kaz Wolfe
