@allquixotic I did find an interesting quirk. If ts3functions are assigned to an instance property, it crashes. If they're assigned to a static property, it's all fine o.O
probably something to do with memory boundaries, incorrect marshalling, and god knows what else
 
12:17 AM
@JourneymanGeek > MADE IN S`PORE
@Bob weird
@Bob or it being part of an instance causing it to add an extra implicit parameter to the method of this instance
 
Bob
@allquixotic ...huh?
oh
 
@allquixotic ha, he's mad about the sponge.
 
Bob
hmm... I don't think so?
suppose it's possible
anyway, no reason to not use static here
@allquixotic was yours statically linked?
 
@allquixotic OMG

Orey! First understand how the site works. Read it, listen, understand English and then proceed. — Praveen Kumar 1 hour ago
On one hand, its not very nice
On the other hand he's saying exactly what needs to be said
(and for those unfamiliar with numbers on the indian subcontinent, which is most of you, a lakh is 100,000. A crore is a very big number 10 million I think
 
Ah, I was wondering about that

@Bob That's probably why

@allquixotic I love how when I look at resampling HNQ starts popping up relevant questions :P dsp.stackexchange.com/questions/36399/…
You may have to benchmark your actual hardware to accurately determine efficiency. If you require a FIR anti-alias filter for your desired result quality, you only need a 2 phase polyphase kernel with which you can avoid upsampling. — hotpaw2 Aug 5 '13 at 19:37
DSP jargon hurts my brain
 
Bob
2:45 AM
hmm. it's quieter than when @JourneymanGeek was at work :P
 
Dog
Aliens.
Aliens goddangit help me!
I guess nobody cares if I get abducted then huh
 
3:23 AM
@Dog jumps at the aliens a bit too late
 
@Bob >_>
I can confirm blue in the face has nothing to do with extended comment strings in questions

Q: Av output for sound system

ytpillai Attached is an image of an A/V Output port. We were wondering about what type of connector the port uses and what can come out the other end. We could only obtain a picture of the port on a different device, the port apparently is on many devices ranging from computers to televisions. How exa...

 
Bob
@JourneymanGeek I think I've actually seen those more often on (old-ish) laptops than TVs
Usually labelled though
 
3:41 AM
Pretty sure my 8800GT had one of those...
 
Bob
@MichaelFrank time to upgrade! :P
 
Oh, that card is long gone.
I baked it in the oven twice before it ended up dying for good.
Alright, thanks for your responses and appreciate you discussing this. I really think that something like this should be explicitly stated in the rules though: whether a question that can potentially apply to a related topic though is not said to do so in the question should be considered off-topic by StackExchange TOS — ytpillai 1 min ago
Rule X: No questions about ports labelled A/V OUT.
 
@Bob it isn't Svideo
 
Bob
3:57 AM
@JourneymanGeek wat
 
standard svideo is 4 pins. non standard ones go... 9?
this one goes up to 11 10
HOWEVER, if you search for "directtv 10 pin to composite" ...
 
Dec 14 at 4:23, by bwDraco
I know disconnecting the SSD without removing it correctly (swapoff and eject) will crash the system so I'm trying to be very careful.
...just tried it on my old laptop running Linux, simulated low-memory environment (1 GB RAM enabled) with main HDD swap disabled.
The result: A flood of Read-error on swap-device messages on the console, followed by a kernel panic.
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x0000008b

Bob
5:12 AM
@bwDraco don't panic
 
lol
 
5:32 AM
Depends
Are you init?
If you are, could you show on this doll how Kernel Panic attempted to kill you?
._.
i cant print screen from that PC so google and find pic close to my opinion so i change it now please focus on answer my friend! @JourneymanGeek — saber tabatabaee yazdi 2 mins ago

@bwDraco disable the swap device in the boot cmd
 
you could always add the swap device after boot no?
 
8:20 AM
yup
mkswap; mount -t swap /dev/device
or swapon /dev/device

10:03 AM
My webhost gave me HTTPS for free!!!
OMG and they didn't even tell me about it!
YAYAY!
How? When? Why? What? I didn't even ask for it!
@BenN 6 year olds can buy fireworks here
 
@Rahul2001 I get mine from cloudflare.
Also free, but easier to configure site. Example 1: easy enabling of HSTS. Example 2: IDK
 
@arda Oh, hello. Haven't seen you here for a while.
 
Heya, same. Have been away from stackexchagne for some while, was working on rebble.io
It seems like cpanel issued you a cert, not webhost. That explains why it's automatic.
 
Oh, so cPanel gave me the cert?
 
ahh, that's cool
 
10:12 AM
yes, very
 
eww cpanel
 
also that's a nice move from cpanel, increasing ssl support on internet
 
yes :)
 
I hate cpanel, but well, they lower the entrance level of web development
 
@JourneymanGeek @arda it's pretty good, why'd you hate it?
 
10:13 AM
@arda this can be a bad thing
 
well I hate shared hostings in general. I prefer having full control over everything.
Hence I just have a 3eur box from scaleway.com which I host my vpn, websites, dns etc on. I also use it as a seedbox.
 
@arda where were you when I was asking for vps recommendations?
 
@Rahul2001 also, a lot of hosting panels are notoriously insecure
 
@Rahul2001 I was working for rebble.io
 
and people don't update them as much as they should
 
10:18 AM
@arda That's... pretty darn cool
 
@Rahul2001 Yup
@Rahul2001 :( lmk if you want to talk.
 
Mom is calling me right now, I'll come online later tomorrow :)
 
Bob
@arda That's frightening.
I have absolutely no faith in cpanel(the company)'s security.
To think they are a CA...
*shudder*
 
10:33 AM
oh wait
yeah, that's bad.
@Rahul2001 I'm willing to host your site. Just don't give any money to cpanel.
(your hosting provider gives it for you, but still, don't do it)
 
Wait
comodo?
Comodo Group, Inc. is a privately held group of companies providing computer software and SSL digital certificates, based in Clifton, New Jersey in the United States. It has offices in the United Kingdom, Ukraine, Romania, China, India, Turkey and Clifton, NJ. As of 24 February 2015, Comodo is the largest issuer of SSL certificates with a 33.6% market share on 6.6% of all web domains. == History == The company was founded in 1998 in the United Kingdom, by Melih AbdulhayoÄŸlu, who remains its CEO. The company relocated to the United States in 2004. Its product line is focused on computer and internet...
I definately think you should give no money to a company that tried to get a trademark registration for lets encrypt
 
I mean I like comodo because they signed certs of cloudflare, and my site therefore uses that
but yeah they suck
they asked 1000usd for 3 year normal cert for the site of the company which my dad works at.
(and my dad, being not the brightest IT lead, accepted the cost. They also paid 10000usd for this crappy design: english.kgf.com.tr -- that uses wordpress)
 
Bob
@arda huh, interesting options
@arda I might have to start using that soon :P
though, I haven't even updated the pebble app in months... maybe I should do that first :P
 
@Bob I have a C1 and it's amazing
@Bob are you on android?
 
Bob
@arda ya
 
10:47 AM
If so, consider just switching to f-droid.org/repository/browse/…
 
Bob
@arda eh, I'm actually happy with its current stability
so I don't reaaaaaally want to switch
 
ok :)
 
Bob
but the whole company-disappearing-act thing might force me to :(
 
I also have an archive of everything at 0ws.pw/PebbleArchive
 
Bob
cool
I might have to ask you if the time ever comes :P
that said, I am semi-actively looking at alternative watches (got any suggestions?) but the battery life is hard to match :\
 
10:49 AM
@Bob ok :)
 
Bob
@arda do you do other phone dev?
 
Huh?
 
11:44 AM
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
Does a happy dance
Out of the blue job offer. From a firm nearby (10km, cycling range), for work which I love to do

Dog
12:22 PM
Just dance
Gonna be OK
Just dance
Spin that record babe
 
12:32 PM
@Hennes Congrats!
@arda Whoa, okay
 
@Rahul2001 do you use discord, steam, signal or whatsapp?
 
Dog
10km :-o
 
Dog
Longest I've cycled to work is 3km and even that annoyed me :-/
 
@Dog I used to walk that far at work in the casino
 
12:41 PM
@arda I use WhatsApp, but I don't have have my phone ATM
Telegram also
 
@Rahul2001 ok, lmk when you get some free time so we can move over your stuff
 
Dog
@JourneymanGeek sure you can easily walk that far at work but a) you're being paid to do it and b) it's not outside in the freezing cold/dark/rain/wind
 
@Dog eh. Not to work I suppose
 
annnnnnnnnnd back at work after dentist
longest appointment ever D:
@Hennes Whoop
interview, or job offer?
 
This seems Dooooooooge
 
12:47 PM
client services are bastards >:(
they have "forgotten" to brief in HUGE jobs and they need doing by friday
i am sick of taking the blame for their failings
 
1:18 PM
Job offer. Old boss called up with "We have a problem with Dep X. Their catalog models need improvement. Are you interrested?"
At which point I said yes.
Public channel, trying not to name the dep.
 
congrats
 
@djsmiley2k How long was the appointment?
 
@Hennes department X is clear a secret organisation tasked with aliens and the like
 
MY new dentist offered to put me under so he could do all the work in one session.
I declined. So now several are planned
Well, their name starts with "ultra"
 
i rest my case!
 
1:27 PM
@Hennes was booked in for an hour
was in the chair for like 1.5 D:
the damn filling came out the first time :/
 
do you have any teeth left?
 
@Burgi don't take the blame
@Burgi I'm starting to look somewhat like jaws, yes
@Hennes ah nice, old boss good boss I take it?
 
@djsmiley2k sadly there is no management in today at all
 
@Burgi there's your answer then
'Speak to my manager'
 
i can't escalate it yet
 
1:29 PM
You not got a feature freeze?
 
yes
hence my anger
 
hmmm
when's the freeze on?
 
2 weeks ago
 
'Sorry nope, feature freeze'
I'm guessing the problem is these guys are dicks
 
yes
 
1:31 PM
Then sorry, there's no hope for you
 
:)
 
I hope your boss would back up you in saying nope
 
i'm confident he would
they want me to deploy a site on friday
 
lol no
no change friday is a thing for a reason
 
my minion turned to me today and said for first time "i now understand why the old web team all left"
 
1:34 PM
xD
because no defection from sales people?
This is why you have a portal for all requests
and all requests are authorized by a manager before proceeding
 
yeah we do, they ignore it
 
They don't get to talk to you, look at you, breath air near you.
then they don't get work done
:/
Saw this at a old job
:/
 
dude this place is a mess, i don't know how theymake money
 
yup same
 
They got $50 million from venture capital just recently IIRC.
So, not a sustainable model so far.
 
1:37 PM
news to me
 
@Bob I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance dedicated server by switching to Geico downgrading from the MG-128 to the SP-128-S (Ivy Bridge w/ 128 GB DDR3 and 2 x 2 TB HDD)
I don't think I need all that CPU horsepower anymore; it's great, but too expensive
 
Ha, it was the broken RSS feed from Joel's blog. Happened in Jan, 2015
 
Bob
@allquixotic that's still far more than my measly SP-64 :P
 
@Bob what generation SP-64?
OVH has a sale going on where all their Xeon Ivy Bridge servers are 25% off if you buy them for 6 months or a year
 
1:39 PM
so I'm not going to renew my old box, and move everything over and transfer over the IPs
$1068 for a full year's service
very reasonable compared to what I was paying
 
@djsmiley2k Decent boss. Manager style, not to involved in my work. But I already know what the problem is and I tried to fix it 2 years ago. I was called back by the BIU since they did things differently. They buisiness, their choice. Now they get called back and I can do what I intended the first time.
 
Bob
@allquixotic prev gen equivalent to current SP-64-S
@allquixotic but migration pain -_-
hm
yea I probably should :\
 
@Bob so Ivy
base price $109/month or $1308/year; with the discount, $981
or you can get an SP-128-S for less than $100 more
I used Paypal Credit's 6 month interest-free financing and will pay it down at the rate of $(1069/6) per month then be done with it and have a "free" dedi for half a year :P
 
Bob
@allquixotic yea, that would save me a fair bit
tempting. so very tempting
 
1:54 PM
if you're using zfs, you won't have to re-do your software layer if you already have 2 x 2 TB HDD anyway
zfs send
and you can move your IP block
 
Bob
@allquixotic wait, do they only have 2x2?
I'm using 3x300 GB SSDs
urk
I could go to HDDs
it's just a minor pain :P
Ideally I'd already have my AU server with 2x 2 TB HDDs so I could compare performance
but those still aren't delivered yet -_-
oh wait 3x 300 is an option
 
2:16 PM
well my minion has gone AWOL
 
@Burgi Flight to Transylvania?
 
after this morning it wouldn't surprise me
he is going to amsterdam for NYE so i am not expecting him back at all in the new year
 
Dog
Lol. Guy in my room just said @ThatBrazilianGuy
 
that is an odd thing to say
 
Dog
@Burgi Ermm
Bit late on that one :-P it was already officially announced a few weeks ago
 
2:23 PM
@Dog Tell him I said hi
 
"That Brazilian Guy!"
 
@Dog i'm still working through my tabs backlog!
@djsmiley2k you missed the "at"
 
Dog
@Burgi lol
Yeah I'm pretty sure I still have tabs from 2014 somewhere
 
its half an hour after lunch finished and my minion is nowhere to be found...
 
Dog
Minions can be like that
 
2:30 PM
they are all in the fucking pub!
i just called him
 
@Burgi I don't think I'd like you as a boss, you're taking them from the pub, my former boss took us to the pub. And paid the bills.
(Ok, he paid the bills only for the trainees who mostly didn't have any money, but still)
 
is he with the sales guys?
CAN YOU BLAME HIM, HUH, CAN YOU?
 
@ThatBrazilianGuy we both got a huge bollocking this morning for a project failure that is not our fault and we are already going to miss the stupid deadline
 
@Burgi I was mostly kidding ;p
I have no idea how's your working environment or the behaviour of your bossess and peers
That said, it sucks being targeted for something you didn't do =/
 
sorry i didn't mean to snap, i'm having a rough day
@djsmiley2k turns he was
 
2:52 PM
I came for the hats. Stuck around for the hax.
@Burgi then throw the towel in and go down the pub
you'll do far more by securing some respect from your minion, than you're going to achieve by raging about things that aren't even your fault.
 
probably good advice, sadly i have already berated him
 
Dog
Well unberate him and go down to the damn pub
 
@Burgi Buy him a beer later (or now, if the pub is nearby)
 
they are all back now
 
Bob
3:20 PM
@Dog I wonder what the performance will be like...
Gotta at least beat Atom for it to make sense.
 
@Burgi I wonder what the performance will be like...
Shamelessly steals @Bob's post :)
 
Bob
floof
 
3:33 PM
Robert Cartaino on December 21, 2016
It's hard to believe this has been a thing for eight years now. Every year since 2009, we've set aside this time of year to remember the people and the organizations who desperately need our help.
 
 
3:51 PM
@Burgi then grab him, take him to the pub and show him how to do it properly
Cat bites are awesome
you learn to climb curtains, be afraid of cucumbers and get very furry
 
@djsmiley2k lol
so that's why I'm a cat
damnit, Spot, why did you have to be such a hostile and aggressive cat who bit me all the time
(Spot was an outdoor/indoor male tabby who died when he was 10.)
 
I've been bitten so many times.
More scratches than a PS2 preowned game from gamestop.
 
HAMMERTIME!
 
from game hammertime?
from game caesum?
 
3:58 PM
from game malleus tempus?
 
Bob
@allquixotic did you happen to hop into the test room overnight and say something? :P
 
@Bob I didn't, why
someone else might've
 
Bob
@allquixotic oh, was just wondering if the instance I accidentally left open happened to crash
