Pici!prayer00:10
ubottuDear $DEITY, Give me strength to understand and work with users who question my logic, the rules, netiquette and common sense. Give me resilience to teach them the basics of Linux, Ubuntu, Community Guidelines and IRC. Allow me not to stray to nitpicking, argument, foul language or leisure op abuse. Deliver me my daily xkcd, User Friendly, LWN, /. and Planet Ubuntu, and guard over my encrypted drives. Let it be so.00:10
LjLPici: yes, indeed00:11
Myrttiskype ♥ 00:16
LjLnow the fun is #freenode's00:19
Piciyay00:19
LjLbash.org?00:22
Myrttibeen down for months00:22
LjLoh00:22
LjLwell it doesn't matter, this is not really bash.org's thing00:23
Myrttishould I know someone called Giuseppe Scrivano ?00:39
LjLMyrtti: he's apparently a developer of something named MyServer00:40
Myrttiso it seems...00:41
Myrttihe's asking me to befriend him in Facebook...00:41
LjLnever befriend an italian00:41
LjLor someone with an italian name anyway00:41
Myrttitoo late for that00:41
Myrttianyway00:42
MyrttiI had my skype call with webcam and it's really late already00:43
Myrttiso I'll head to bed00:43
LjLMyrtti: rocky_10_balboa!*@gnu/giuseppe is him here00:44
Myrttiright00:45
Picinice name00:45
MyrttiI declined his request though00:45
MyrttiI've never heard of him, so I won't befriend him either00:45
Myrttioff to bed to dream of a cute linux geek -->00:46
Picigoodnight ;)00:47
LjLhey, maybe you just declined a cute linux geek00:47
PiciHe was the Italian Stallion...00:48
LjLanyway i'm even more convinced i'll never join facebook00:48
LjLjrib: do extremely fancy misspellings apply for your hitlist?00:52
jribLjL: sure!00:53
LjLjrib: then look six lines or so from the last in #ubuntu00:53
Picivalateer?00:53
LjLright00:53
jribLjL: better than "duel boot"00:54
Picijrib: Do you mind sharing a copy of the list?00:55
LjLhe has, it's on the pastebin00:55
LjLbut you have to earn the right to read it00:55
LjLby browsing through every pastebin post until you find it00:55
LjLthough when you have, you'll feel enough nausea that you won't want to look at it00:55
PiciSounds like a great rainy day activity.00:57
elky_workjrib: but 'duel boot' is in some cases correct ;)00:57
jribPici: http://pastebin.com/f78cec2600:58
LjLelky_work: have a bare-metal machine with two virtual machine monitors running on it00:58
Picijrib: I will cherish this always00:58
LjLelky_work: have the virtual machine monitors expose a vulnerability that lets one get out of the memory protection jail00:58
LjLelky_work: have two OS's boot in each of the virtual machines, the first that crashes the other wins00:59
elky_workhehe00:59
LjLalthough, i didn't invent this00:59
elky_workjrib: are they all from the same person?01:05
jribelky_work: lol01:06
PiciThat would be impressive.01:06
elky_workbecause, you know, i'd believe it if you said yes.01:06
LjLoh jesus, the stuff that guy posted in -ot should earn him a scolding, but it's fun01:07
elky_workconsidering i reguarly hear "I am a doctor, I think i know how the internet works" reguarly when i explain that no, google going down when you forget to pay your isp is not actually our fault, despite yes we do send you electronic pathology and radiology results.01:08
Picijussi01: I think ubottu needs a bit of an apt refresh or something.01:09
Seeker`I heard someone talk about googling for something on youtube the other day01:26

johndarkhorsei can't seem to keep my machine going more than a few minutes if i'm working on it since i updated18:57
johndarkhorseseems load spikes are tickling something in the kernel and spontaneously killing  the box18:58
LjLjohndarkhorse: is "working on it" something that could cause overheating?18:59
johndarkhorseLjL: i've been doing the same thing for years19:04
johndarkhorsethis happened a couple of years ago with the powerpc machines + Ubuntu19:04
johndarkhorseback then, it needed more load before it'd CLICK off19:04
johndarkhorsethis time, it's not taking much at all19:05
LjLjohndarkhorse: still sounds like overheating to me, you know, cpu fans get dusty and slow down19:05
johndarkhorseno, the fans spin up just fine (and slow down)19:08
johndarkhorsei'm not sure if this is a "too many higher load threads" or what - it's different than last time19:09

LjL`Chris: well, you know what19:30
LjLi doubt that page actually contains malware19:30
LjLbut anyway, it licences the text under the GNU FDL19:30
