Lately I've wanted to create a server that stretches farther than just my own wifi connection for free. I see websites ads all the time for server hosts but none of those are free. Is there a way I can create a free server that is world wide and not just my wifi? If so how do I go about creating...

And also apparently @MBraedley={Everyone}

Dragonrage

plus, @Wipqozn "won" the last election, so we can make fun of him whenever we want without feeling bad

BlueBarren

@Lazers2.0 well sure if you want to lose money on hosting

Dragonrage

not that we would feel bad about making fun of @Wipqozn anyways

Unionhawk

@Dragonrage he won by default lol

In literally one round the ballots decided 2 mods of 2

Dragonrage

12:36 AM

@Unionhawk yea, but he wasnt in first place

Wipqozn

That's because @Robotnik and I are just thatawesome

Unionhawk

@Dragonrage nobody cares about first place

Tim Stone

I guess I should get the election stats site back up so next time we have an election I can rig it in my favour

Unionhawk

@TimStone I'll pay you ten bucks to give me 2 of n>1

Dragonrage

@Wipqozn well, robotnik maybe, not sure about you though

@TimStone also so i can check past election data

12:40 AM

Hm, if I can read 7 books in 8 days I can hit 200 books before june.

Wipqozn

@Ash I believe in you

Dragonrage

@Ash i saw a post earlier saying you should read at least one book a month

Wipqozn

which reminds me I need to stop talking to youguys and go to bed with a book

Dragonrage

to keep your brain healthy

Unionhawk

Well I saw a study that says you should pet at least one dog per day

Dragonrage

12:43 AM

@Unionhawk can it be the same dog? i pet mine at least once a day

Unionhawk

Yes

There are several good dogs here

Wipqozn

Can you pet a cat in place of a dog?

Dragonrage

@Wipqozn no, cats are evil

Wipqozn

@Dragonrage I...

@Ash That's a bannable offense, right? Because cats are the greatest? Right?

user15026

@Dragonrage wrong.

Wipqozn

12:46 AM

It's almost 10pm

I wanted oto be in bed an hour ago reading

I'm so terrible at adulting sometimes

Dragonrage

@Wipqozn i forgot you go to bed at like 6pm

Wipqozn

@Dragonrage You kids

Dragonrage

@Ash kittens are fine, cats arent

except for this one cat my grandparents had

it was like 22 years old

Avery

cats and kittens are greatest

murgatroid99

@Wipqozn That's amazing

Unionhawk

12:49 AM

We must consider, however, that maybe dogs are not just good, but also great

Avery

violent doggos (which is 90% of doggos here, even owned doggos) are not great

Unionhawk

This is indeed true unfortunately

Avery

while I have nothing against dogs in general, I've found cats to be more predictable and calmer, which is why i like them more

Tim Stone

I don't understand why sites undergo redesigns that are objectively worse than their current iterations :thinking:

Unionhawk

@TimStone you can just say Twitter dot com we all know what you mean

12:55 AM

Actually not Twitter!

Gandi's new interface seems real flaky. Probably more mobile-friendly but I don't care about that

Avery

omg its @Robotnik

Dragonrage

@Robotnik welcome back from the dead

Robotnik

@Dragonrage I WAS SUMMONSED

Actually I'm at work so I can't stay

Dragonrage

well, we are all glad you aren't dead

someone needs to keep @Wipqozn in line

Avery

see that edit time?

Tim Stone

12:57 AM

Quick someone hide the Chaos Crystals

Robotnik

@Dragonrage I secretly go behind his back and revert all his edits

:P

@TimStone Come on man, they're Emeralds :P

Dragonrage

@Robotnik i knew we elected you for a reason

Avery

there was a reboot and login and chrome launch and tab restore between the initial post of message and the edit

yay for arch

Dragonrage

still not sure why we elected @Wipqozn, still trying to figure that one out

Avery

i wonder how many pings @Wipqozn is going to wake up to this time

Avery

Dragonrage

@Memor-X i think last time @Wipqozn got pinged 56 times

Avery

only 56? poor @Wipqozn isn't get fed with enough pings

Dragonrage

thats true, @Wipqozn does like to feel popular

Q: Server-side detection of Player ID through steam browser?

Does the steam browser provide a way to detect user credentials server-side? When I developed an app for Eve Online, they had sent some info to the browser which could be consumed for various purposes. Does steam do this at all?

> the basis of our argument is that users are utterly retarded who will mistake Pandora for PayPal just because the picture uses a P in it, not because of the text under it or that we have 2 P's or the start up screen splash image or the functionality in the app is vastly different

@Memor-X while I appreciate the sentiment here the expression of it could...use some work

I am still weirdly delighted that it wasn't terrible

it was confusing but it was good

could be much better if it was longer, but I can see why it wasn't longer than it is now

yeah, they had to really jam the plot together to keep it so short

@Avery some people are into intentionally rare things

2:04 AM

@StevenVascellaro You're kinda flooding the front page with edits....

Steven Vascellaro

@Ash Oh sorry. My bad

n_palum

Okay, was just wondering because it's been like 10 edits + a day on the same few tags. And a majority are not actually any improvement, just nitpicky things.

Unionhawk

It's usually better to space these things out at least

n_palum

Yeah

user15026

@StevenVascellaro No worries, just watch the edits, spread them out, make sure you're adding things that actually improve as much as possible, etc.

user15026

2:05 AM

You don't have to singlehandedly edit all the things :)

Steven Vascellaro

@Ash It's more that, when I see something that can be improved, I feel the need to improve it

user15026

(I think we've had this conversation before? But yeah, all the edits you make bump the questions back to the frontpage, so....just keep that in mind)

Steven Vascellaro

Yeah, I've been talked to about this before

user15026

I know you are super zealous about improvements, which is cool, just a) make sure you're not just making minor edits all the time (especially if it is just stylistic things, because not everyone's style will be yours) and b) spread it out over time

Avery

@GodEmperorDune information brokers are a thing

n_palum

2:07 AM

And imo it's not necessary to add a link to every single thing.

user15026

(Like the minor spacing corrections, etc - make sure there's nothing else you can help, and maybe stuff like that doesn't need edits?)

Unionhawk

Oh my God one of my supervisors from like 5 years ago is here wtf

GodEmperorDune

@Unionhawk time to git rekt

Unionhawk

100%

@GodEmperorDune I'm already rekt

n_palum

Okay, well thanks for clarifying Ash :)

GodEmperorDune

@Unionhawk WELL THEN

user15026

No problem :)

n_palum

No harm meant Steven, just noticed a trend. :)

Unionhawk

That's my secret cap

I'm always rekt

GodEmperorDune

then perhaps it is time for you to git gud

Unionhawk

See, but it's a delicate science

Gudness is indirectly proportional to the rektness factor

user15026

2:13 AM

yessss new Kevin Kwan book out today and I just finished All The Birds in the Sky (which was less awesome than I expected, considering it just won a Nebula)

user15026

so it is the perfect time for a decently trashy book :D

GodEmperorDune

@Ash nebulas are usually good indicators, what was bad about it?

user15026

@GodEmperorDune It was convoluted and weird and overly complex and tried to be too "oh look we are being so wise and smart and edgy about the phenomena of human emotion"

user15026

It would've been so much better if it didn't get so....philosophical and stuff

user15026

although maybe that was the point, I dunno

user15026

BlueBarren

12:00 PM

is it wrong if I don't actually know what a database schema is?

oh and my dark theme for chat is no longer working

cc: @Avery because you showed this to me

Private Pansy

@BlueBarren It's the structure of the database - ie. the tables, columns, indices, etc.

BlueBarren

hmmm

so if I had to give someone the schema...

Private Pansy

Take a database, remove all of the data, and what's left is what the schema describes

BlueBarren

Ah okay, that's what I thought by what you said

thank you

DanmakuGrazer

@BlueBarren You can usually just export the schema without messing with the data

Ronan

12:12 PM

@BlueBarren Lots of database viewers have a export schema option.

BlueBarren

well let's hope SQL Management Studio has that option

Unionhawk

Ow

Nzall

@BlueBarren It probably has.

BlueBarren

@Nzall yes

Nzall

@BlueBarren That's not what you need though, probably

BlueBarren

12:19 PM

doesn't look like it

because I can't open it

or look at it

Nzall

What they probably need is a way to import that data into their own database, which means generating an SQL schema

Q: Export database schema into SQL file

Is it possible in MS SQL Server 2008 to export database structure into a T-SQL file? I want to export not only tables schema but also primary keys, foreign keys, constraints, indexes, stored procedures, user defined types/functions. Also I don't want the data to be present in this T-SQL file....

sql sql-server database tsql export

Unionhawk

@BlueBarren five bucks says it's actually an XML file underneath

BlueBarren

@Unionhawk USD or CAD?

MBraedley

@Nzall Solution: Use Postgres instead.

BlueBarren

huh interesting

so what's supposed to happen if I execute this schema.sql file?

MBraedley

12:26 PM

@BlueBarren One would assume it would recreate the schema that it was generated from, with empty tables and default sequence values.

BlueBarren

so maybe I shouldn't execute it

MBraedley

If you run it on a fresh DB instance, you should be fine. Alternatively, you could edit it to change the name of the database, and so you'll have 2 copies of the database running at the same time from one server.

Nzall

@BlueBarren In most of these scripts, one of the first lines is usually DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS

BlueBarren

true

Nzall

So yeah, best not run it on something that already has that database.

Unless you need a reason to go job hunting again.

BlueBarren

@Nzall and the response?

Nzall

@BlueBarren I can't remember that. I think she was stunned to silence

At least, I worded it like "Internet Explorer does not adhere to standards and breaks many websites. As long as it doesn't work for the sites I want to browse, I won't use it."
