Root Access

I have reported this same issue at least twice I think in the last year – my “For Follow Up” items suddenly increase. By this I mean I flag items for further action of which I usually have around 20. This morning the actual “For Follow Up” was in italics with no reported number next to it, so I clicked it and it then gave me almost 250 totally random messages.

If anyone can explain that :/

@OliverSalzburg I'm a awesome sysadmin and problem solver

Oliver Salzburg

But I mostly care about the "desire to code" and passion for the profession. Prior knowledge of technologies is a plus, but no requirement

ooo I did devops once :P

Burgi

i've never worked in devops before

djsmiley2k

1:34 PM

Also I've experience in mod elections!

Burgi

do i need to know german?

djsmiley2k

I was the Ops part of DevOps

it was interesting

Oliver Salzburg

@Burgi It's beneficial in our office, but all documentation and whatnot is kept in English

In case I ever want to outsource to India, you know ;P

Burgi

i can talk LOUDLY AND CLEARLY in english

Oliver Salzburg

Just as well :D

Burgi

1:37 PM

i'm not sure i could afford to move to germany

Oliver Salzburg

I don't think our company is large enough yet to be attractive enough to justify moving to a different country

@DavidPostill isn't working

I just get Echo is off.

@Dog The... flight went down? :P

Oliver Salzburg

@JourneymanGeek Not really :P Although I am aware of all the options

djsmiley2k

@Burgi wait

I offered to relocate you to germany too

suddenly I'm wondering if @OliverSalzburg works with my irc going collegues...

Do you use gentoo at work @OliverSalzburg?

becausae you know, germany is such a small place, you obvs. know everyone

DavidPostill

@Rahul2001 Hmm

Oliver Salzburg

@djsmiley2k No. Debian and Amazon Linux

Rahul2001

@DavidPostill For testing you could just use rb.cmd which is basically echo postText=hi

djsmiley2k

1:59 PM

@OliverSalzburg I guess it's still possibly them xD

Rahul2001

That's pretty much the output that I get

DavidPostill

@Rahul2001 Then I've no idea why it's not working

Rahul2001

@DavidPostill :(

@DavidPostill Hacked my way around it!

DavidPostill

@Rahul2001 I can't get it to work using echo postText=hi either. However, it does work with set. I can't figure out why one works and not the other :/

This works:

@echo off
setlocal
for /f "delims== tokens=1,2" %%a in ('set') do (
  echo Value: %%b
  )
endlocal

Rahul2001

rb.exe > par.txt
for /f "delims== tokens=1,2" %%G in (par.txt) do set %%G=%%H
echo %postText%

@DavidPostill Crappy hack, but works^

@Bob nah, that's a program on emule.

Journeyman Geek

130mb is album length...

emule?

Is that still a thing?

satibel

@JourneymanGeek limewire

Journeyman Geek

@satibel duuuude

satibel

2:16 PM

@JourneymanGeek still exists, but it's like free prostitutes, the free infection is bundled.

Journeyman Geek

Nothing in life is free

(also no details please. Rules on piracy apply still. ;p)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LimeWire suggests its dead

satibel

@JourneymanGeek gnutella and torrents are still a thing, I think that if you still have a copy, it might work.

Journeyman Geek

oh, I'm aware of gnutella

Rahul2001

@DavidPostill there's a problem... my hack takes too long to execute :(

Journeyman Geek

and I do use torrents, and I think I've talked about my setup here before

satibel

2:21 PM

last update on the emule website is from January 2017, so it seems like it's alive.

Rahul2001

@satibel dead

emule is alive, but I've never used it

DavidPostill

@Rahul2001 What? It shouldn't take much longer ...

satibel

I was talking about limewire just because it was a thing years ago.

Rahul2001

@DavidPostill Basically rb.exe takes input from a webpage via POST and echos it. For some reason whenever I add my hack, the browser sends the data twice, or even thrice

But originally it was getting sent only once

satibel

timeout?

Rahul2001

2:24 PM

@satibel ~~possibly~~ probably

djsmiley2k

@Rahul2001 autoretry on timeout?

satibel

easy way: make a loopback serial com port by tying rx and tx together and use COMx instead of the file </sarcasm>

@Rahul2001

@echo off

SETLOCAL EnableDelayedExpansion
setlocal
for /f "delims== tokens=1,2" %%a in ('set') do (
  set _var=%%b
  echo !_var!
  )
endlocal

try this

nvm

djsmiley2k

@DavidPostill 3 edits, and I've stopped there

satibel

use tokens=* and %%a instead of %%b

djsmiley2k

as none of them were perticually productive other than removing dead tags..

@Skyler NO FELLOW HUMAN THERE ARE NO ROBOTS HERE BEEP BOP.

Michael Frank

uhh.... If it's the folder I think they're talking about there is more than 10,000 folders in the root of that share.

Wait... no it's more than 20,000 folders.

Oh look, the number is still climbing.

Aaaaaaand they now want me to audit the "General" share as well.

Well I guess I will have results for them... next week some time.

okay... so how the heck do you review permissions on 52,000 folders? :|

DavidPostill

@William I am

@William Which shortcut?

William

64 or regular doesn't matter, the start menu one, the one to open a terminal

DavidPostill

@William Target is C:\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe -i /Cygwin-Terminal.ico - - edit to suit your system.

thank you sir!

in practice, not really

uzbl also seems to have a frame buffer port

William

11:09 PM

that's crazy. probably slow as heck if sshing

how does it have image support?

Journeyman Geek

framebuffer mode rather than traditional consoles

not sure if you can SSH that

lol

I might spin up a VM to test if I'm bored enough

William

if you can't ssh that it it defeats my purpose

Journeyman Geek

well I have no idea ;p

@JourneymanGeek It depends on which hemisphere you live in :)

Lunar phase

The lunar phase or phase of the moon is the shape of the illuminated (sunlit) portion of the Moon as seen by an observer on Earth. The lunar phases change cyclically as the Moon orbits the Earth, according to the changing positions of the Moon and Sun relative to the Earth. The Moon's rotation is tidally locked by the Earth's gravity, therefore the same lunar surface always faces Earth. This face is variously sunlit depending on the position of the Moon in its orbit. Therefore, the portion of this hemisphere that is visible to an observer on Earth can vary from about 100% (full moon) to 0% (new...

@MichaelFrank Good question. Ask @JourneymanGeek. Singapore is almost on the equator (1° 21' N, 103° 49' E.)

Journeyman Geek

I don't remember off the top of my head ;p

Michael Frank

@DavidPostill Yes, I suppose it matters if he's facing North or South as well.

DavidPostill

@MichaelFrank It will be rotated 90 degrees according to the wiki article but I don't know in which direction.

> Nearer the Equator the Moon with its terminator will appear apparently horizontal during the morning and evening. Since the above descriptions of the lunar phases only apply at temperate or high latitudes and observers moving towards the Tropics from northern or southern latitudes will see the Moon rotated anti-clockwise or clockwise with respect to the images in this article. The crescent Moon can open upward or downward, with the "horns" of the crescent pointing up or down, respectively.
