@GiantCowFilms worst comes to worst we can use one of my PC's as a server with blender, but I don't know anything about that stuff, so you be working on it from wherever your at essentially cause I can't

GiantCowFilms

@RadishoftheOpera I doubt you computer is open to the internet in that way

there is a reason why I pay for web hosting

Also note that my server could in theory run blender, but I doubt it has enough power... its just a linux vm, owned by someone else

gandalf3

@GiantCowFilms Server can't run blender?

GiantCowFilms

@gandalf3 To little ram

half a gig

gandalf3

ah

GiantCowFilms

and I need it to be reasonably performent

gandalf3

12:46 AM

Thats true

downloadmoreram.com

@GiantCowFilms Try that ^^ ;)

GiantCowFilms

@gandalf3 Did <jk>

gandalf3

XD

GiantCowFilms

my computer is currently on fire

gandalf3

:P

GiantCowFilms

@gandalf3 Do you have a fire dousing spell?

I mean how did you kill that balrog

gandalf3

12:50 AM

Idk

I'm the third gandalf

GiantCowFilms

Oh

gandalf3

I left all that bother to the first one

GiantCowFilms

Smart

gandalf3

:)

GiantCowFilms

So you just answer noob questions on an online forum and gain unbelievable amounts of rep...

:P

gandalf3

12:51 AM

XD

GiantCowFilms

@gandalf3 I see you've caught @NoviceInDisguise's bug

@gandalf3 Thats what smart people do (since I do it)

gandalf3

Bug? Delishius Radishius Scaliaosis?

GiantCowFilms

No... that one has worse side effects?

(removed the context)

that was a pun

if you look at the post

hang on, you have room owner power, rats!

gandalf3

I...

Am

Quite lost

:P

GiantCowFilms

never mind

(whew)

Just a fit of radish greens

gandalf3

12:54 AM

I see..

GiantCowFilms

another side effect is signing ~~operas~~ musicals

gandalf3

looks suspiciously at GCF over top of a half-eaten radish

GiantCowFilms

You actually eat radishes?

wow

@RadishoftheOpera I'm not the only one who should be scared around here

gandalf3

That's the only way to cure Delicious Radishious Problemosis

GiantCowFilms

Oh eat the radish

I was wondering where he went

GiantCowFilms

1:16 AM

@David @gandalf3 @cegaton @Chebhou @NoviceInDisguise @RadishoftheOpera @X-27 @someonewithpc Here are my thoughts on the video embeding... kinda late (need to keep an eye on meta) and very against the crowd, but I still had to share my thoughts

0

A: Should we enable video embedding?

Yes! We should have video embeding Cutting features because they may cause abuse isn't a very good idea... We have down votes to stop abuse. Down vote video only questions/answers. Down vote audio reliant posts. That is why that button is there*. Stack exchange can handle abuse. Lets look at a...

a year late

wow I really missed that

XD

gandalf3

Whoa @iKlsR is fast

GiantCowFilms

iK ls R

gandalf3

I know lsr

:P

GiantCowFilms

@gandalf3 like so right?

gandalf3

There

Perfect

I wonder if there would be any possibility of gifycat embedding

GiantCowFilms

1:19 AM

I know like so right!

gandalf3

:P

GiantCowFilms

finally we cracked it!

@gandalf3 Oo

Mar 22 '14 at 17:27, by iKlsR

iKlsR = i am Kewl Luser

@GiantCowFilms IMO that would kinda be the best of both worlds

GiantCowFilms

I like mine better

@gandalf3 Maybe

Hello guys . . .

gandalf3

Video embedding would tend to encourage more tutorials, which would encourage more tutorial requests, etc. etc.

GiantCowFilms

@NoviceInDisguise sup!

@gandalf3 We just down vote that content

gandalf3

The gif is nice as a quick visual demonstration, but it has annoying limitations

GiantCowFilms

thats my answer

NoviceInDisguise

Not much

gandalf3

1:22 AM

@GiantCowFilms It would be nice if we didn't send such a conflicting message

GiantCowFilms

@gandalf3 Video can sometimes be nice for hard to follow steps. I kept on failing to correctly follow your black hole answer

gandalf3

Then we wouldn't have to DV

GiantCowFilms

@gandalf3 Comments are helpful

gandalf3

@GiantCowFilms Yes.. But that's a little bit of tutorial :P

GiantCowFilms

I also don't think people are just going to keep throwing out videos left right and center

@gandalf3 And I think in that case it is appropriate

NoviceInDisguise

1:23 AM

I wish we could "upvote" without starring messages . . . i.e. to show agreement

GiantCowFilms

a video tutorial can be an addition, not a substitute for text.

@NoviceInDisguise You reply with +1

NoviceInDisguise

@GiantCowFilms It takes work, so probably not going to be an issue

@GiantCowFilms +1

gandalf3

Ideally, but you can bet there will be video only answers :P

GiantCowFilms

exactly

@NoviceInDisguise ;D

gandalf3

With gfycat you get all the benefits of a video format, without losing the gif feel

GiantCowFilms

1:24 AM

@gandalf3 And they get DV'd and the author gets told

@gandalf3 But no audio

I hate adding text to gifs

and arrows

gandalf3

What would you use audio for?

GiantCowFilms

It can be useful for explaining where stuff is

NoviceInDisguise

@RadishoftheOpera Hair driven by an image texture, the feathers are fine enough I could get away with it

GiantCowFilms

and just to raise the bar on posts

gandalf3

hm..

NoviceInDisguise

1:25 AM

No, audio can be replaced with text, at leas dialogue

gandalf3

I think we need to decide how tutorialish or not we really are going to go

NoviceInDisguise

Although things like rendering sound issues might be able to use it

GiantCowFilms

I think its choice... as long as the text post is still there I don't have a problem with full blown tutorails

iKlsR

Who is BFC calling out as internet ragers now

GiantCowFilms

@iKlsR Done the compiling tutorial yet?

gandalf3

1:28 AM

XD

iKlsR

@GiantCowFilms Work has been hectic, damn

I might just walk you through it

smh

GiantCowFilms

I think I'm not the only one who'd benefit from the tutorial

If you can just get it there I could always flesh it out a bit... most the .mds on github and people can contribute

gandalf3

I'd help, but I think I if I were to try to make a tutorial for windows the first step would be "install linux"

@GiantCowFilms we are not

NoviceInDisguise

Sorry :p

@GiantCowFilms Not normally

Just once, and it hasn't worn off yet :P

I need to watch some Top Gear . . .

David

funny thing is that question was inactive for nearly a year, I find and add an answer, now stir up (another) controversy with @GiantCowFilms

GiantCowFilms

1:41 AM

@David I saw it in the active tab and though oooh cool!

@David Its not a fight, FYI

@David :/

David

I did not say "fight" just a "controversy"

GiantCowFilms

ahem

David

and I'm not going to start one because we wont get embeds :)

GiantCowFilms

@David You sounded peeved...

David

so no reason to argue.

GiantCowFilms

1:43 AM

@David D:

David

@GiantCowFilms did you DV my answer?

GiantCowFilms

Did you mine?

@David yes... I disagree

David

I asked you first (and yes I did)

GiantCowFilms

@David A disagreement and a controversy are different...

This is sounding tense

@David Its okay to not agree

David

@scales define "controversy" and "disagreement"

wait he is dead

NoviceInDisguise

1:46 AM

:/

iKlsR

LOL

OLO

GiantCowFilms

@David I'm just saying that meta is for discussing and voicing opinions, not "it seems funny remarks" that seem to imply things

iKlsR

Scales is sleeping boys

David

@GiantCowFilms the definition for "controversy"has disagree in it. Also the definition for "disagreement" uses conflict

but that is besides the point

@GiantCowFilms I dont follow, who used a "it seems funny remarks"?

@iKlsR can you shed any more light on the mystery surrounding the graduation date?

GiantCowFilms

@David The person who said this: chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/21772962#21772962

@David anyways, we disagree... everyone's had there two cents

Now we can party

D:

freudian slip about parties XD

David

1:51 AM

@GiantCowFilms I only meant that you would never even of found it (and all this transpire) if I did not answer it.

GiantCowFilms

got the keys in the wrong order

David

that is the funny part

@GiantCowFilms so what else is new? :)

GiantCowFilms

@David Yes... true (I'm still getting that negative feeling with your word choice: "transpire", you make it sound like a bad incident )

@David XD

David

yet we still get along well, and (I think) we are friends.

GiantCowFilms

I wonder why we disagree so much

@David Yes...

definately

I hold few grudges against anyone

and I like you a lot

iKlsR

1:53 AM

@David I wasn't given an ETA so can't say exactly when

GiantCowFilms

@David I think you were being more literally about "funny" then I realized

@iKlsR 6-8 weeks

iKlsR

Within 2 - 3 months I'd prob estimate

David

@GiantCowFilms you are a cow, and I eat cows. maybe that has something to do with it. Or it is that you just like picking the wrong side of the issue :)

iKlsR

6 - 8 weeks

GiantCowFilms

duh

iKlsR

1:53 AM

Big Fat @Cow pls

GiantCowFilms

@David Ahem

@iKlsR pls? is that a government agency? I'm confused

@iKlsR sounds good, 6-8 weeks is too long though.

@GiantCowFilms why?

go to google, if you're using no proxies, you can just type my ip

@RadishoftheOpera Security, mine is too

Radish of the Opera

3:12 PM

I'm gonna say "why" until I get a solid answer

GiantCowFilms

Im not quite sure to be honest

I'll have to ask...

@RadishoftheOpera Okay, got my answer

Basically, if you have an open port, which is required for a server, you're computer is vulnerable to attack. So in order to avoid remote hacking, people block certain protocals on certain port etc in the router

Radish of the Opera

3:38 PM

@GiantCowFilms what if I use a dud machine?

GiantCowFilms

@RadishoftheOpera Depends on your router

firewall
