Hello chat

Stephen Kitt

@Kiwy hello neighbour

Kiwy

Neighbour ? Do you leave anywhere near Lyon, FRANCE @StephenKitt :D

Stephen Kitt

12:27

@Kiwy I do indeed

Kiwy

Hello Neighbour then I had no idea

Stephen Kitt

;-)

@StephenKitt How did you know he was your neighbor? Do you have super senses?

Or perhaps paranormal powers. Kind of the same thing, really.

Stephen Kitt

@FaheemMitha his web site gives his address

Faheem Mitha

@StephenKitt He has a web site?

So how are things in France these days?

Nobody storming the Bastille, hopefully.

Stephen Kitt

@FaheemMitha see his profile...

@FaheemMitha it sometimes feels like it’s getting close to that

Faheem Mitha

@StephenKitt I did. I must be going blind.

France is backing the US in wars again, hell must have frozen over

I'm pretty sure I saw a pig with wings this morning as well

Faheem Mitha

13:23

@Jesse_b Which wars are those?

Jesse_b

Referring to the bombing of Syria, although we have basically been bombing Syria non stop for over 6 years now

So it's not exactly the start of anything except extremely increased tensions with russia

Faheem Mitha

@Jesse_b I didn't know France was a part of that.

But I don't really follow US military activity closely. It's just depressing to read about.

Jesse_b

@FaheemMitha Yeah the way I see it, if France wants something bombed it probably really deserves to get bombed

Faheem Mitha

@Jesse_b Um, not following. I don't think anybody deserves to be bombed.

Jesse_b

Hitler?

Faheem Mitha

13:27

Though, unfortunately, it happens. Quite a lot, when the US is involved.

@Jesse_b Germany was bombed, not Hitler.

Hitler was one person. Who was probably in some very secure place when bombs were falling.

Jesse_b

I mostly agree though, people are only a product of their experiences. I don't like corporal punishment but I don't think there is a better known solution in many cases

Faheem Mitha

Assuming they fell on him. I'm fuzzy on the timeline.

Also, people in the West tend to give undue attention to Hitler and his friends. Speaking from my perspective, as mass-murdering psychos go, he wasn't particularly unusual.

Jesse_b

I guess it mostly all depends on how you feel about the trolley problem

Faheem Mitha

Though the other mass-murdering psychos get much less attention because they mostly murdered brown or black people. Which is, of course, only right and proper.

Though perhaps not from the perspective of the people concerned.

Anyway, I ramble. Dinner time.

Jesse_b

I totally agree, Hitler wasn't nearly as bad as stalin

But we fought "the big war" against him so he has become some glorified super villian to us

Faheem Mitha

13:31

Anyway, I don't really know what is going on with Syria. Though I'm sorry for the Syrian people, if they are having bombs dropped on them. I'm sure they have enough troubles already.

Jesse_b

even though we barely participated in that war

The bombs were dropped on military airfields and installations

The people are being mass murdered by their own government

"government"

Faheem Mitha

@Jesse_b It's one of those relatively rare cases when Britain and the US fought someone nastier than them. So of course, they make the most of it.

From an Indian perspective, it's hysterically funny to have the British positioning themselves as the Goog Guys.

Jesse_b

@FaheemMitha Mostly Russia. Britian got annihilated, Russia won that war and the US came at the last minute to raise our flag

Faheem Mitha

@Jesse_b 1944 wasn't quite the last minute. And it was mostly the US vs Japan, it's true. And Germany vs Russia. That's how it went down.

Anyway, dinner time. Later, folks.

Jesse_b

@FaheemMitha Yeah we fought the pacific front on our own but we lost that battle as well

So we pulled out and dropped nukes

@FaheemMitha Enjoy

Such a debate, @StephenKitt are you a stalker ? should I be worried about my safety :D

@FaheemMitha I had to star this one. So true..

I feel like this Linux subsytem for Windows will either kill us either make linux a simple shell inside windows...

Q: Installing Linux Scripts using Windows 10 Bash Shell

I'm new to Linux and I'm having trouble install this script (https://github.com/rolandoislas/drc-sim) using the Windows 10 Bash Shell. Every time I've tried to install the script, I run into this error: compilation terminated. CMakeFiles/drc_sim_c.dir/build.make:326: recipe for target 'CMak...

@Kiwy Never say die.

Kiwy

@FaheemMitha ho didn"t know about this expression though I imagine the meaning of it.

Faheem Mitha

If spam points you to links, does that mean the machine in question has been compromised. Or is a bot in other words?

@Kiwy Yes, I know. It's an expression.

Kiwy

@FaheemMitha Could mean several thing, most of the time means that a fake site as been setup to set you up. If a link to a file is present, then it's most likely a compromised host

Faheem Mitha

@Kiwy There should be some way to tell the owners. Though I expect nobody bothers.

Kiwy

@FaheemMitha if the admin of the site is reasonnable I think best pratice is to have a [email protected] where you could receive complains like this. But I think it's not done in most case.

Faheem Mitha

14:38

Actually, in theory whois should give one a contact email.

Kiwy

indeed
