You'reAGitForNotUsingGit

that's a pretty good comeback haha

I mean... you're not wrong

On a completely different topic.... if you see a crime in an Apple store, are you an iWitness?

that's a reasonable stance

fair enough

hahaha

what caused the locate command to be run?

maybe maybe not?

well

but now the locate command runs instantly

ok so updatedb took 96% of disk for a while

@Fabby is there a reason you're saying to run as root?

ok gimme a minute

to investigate

so I pulled out iotop

my disk just went bazzerk

I never ran the command manually

wdym by trying again

hm

this laptop has a spinner

is that with an SSD?

also doesn't ch mean Chinese?

18.04 on my laptop

well I have 16.04 on my desktop

@Fabby yeah, 18.04

that was very odd

hmm ok it stopped now

locate --ignore-case --ignore-spaces --basename --transliterate *ch*

Ok why is this command eating 98% of my disk I/O?

@Fabby LOL! I legitimately laughed out loud when I read that

You could be with a VPN :P

lol

Same temp here in the US on the east coast today actually.

I'm not sure how I'm supposed to interpret that

" I'm not actually too cold even though I'm not wearing socks" eh?

@WinEunuuchs2Unix lol. Although this one is pretty funny too: askubuntu.com/questions/758857

@Zanna wait your profile says you're in India now?

you too :)

no problem

yeah

unfortunately I have to go though

the right way to fix it is with udev rules

it's not a permanent solution

well

it seems to me this is a problem with the udev rules as I originally thought

now the problem is it won't work anymore if you replug it

so it works :D

"so now it's going at the stock speed" what do you mean by that?

"that worked for a second" so it uploaded the code successfully?

First question when you call in for help when something isn't working: "Is it plugged in?"
