ubottuChogyDan called the ops in #ubuntu (UbuntuFan333)02:28
h00kfail.02:30
Pici>>> "".join([chr(ord(i)-1) for i in "sn!.sg!+"])02:30
Pici'rm -rf *'02:30
h00kyeah...02:30
h00kpeople are silly.02:30
PiciAlthough it wouldn't run unless you surrounded the whole thing with $() or ``02:31
Picior maybe it would.  I've never used os.system()02:31
h00kI'm not about to test it, anyway.02:32
rwwPici: I think it would.02:33
rwwyou pass a string to os.system(). 'rm -whatever' is a string ;)02:33
macoyep02:34
Picirww: mmm, seems that way indeed.02:34
rwwI really hope "what." is a valid answer to the floodbot P=NP question.02:49
rwwI wish people would stop repeating the de-coded malicious commands that we ban people for saying.02:51
* rww is grumpy02:51
rwwniko: incoming highlights03:46
rwweveryone else: incoming expiration of floodbot bans over a week old03:46
ubottuFloodBot1 called the ops in #ubuntu-ops-monitor (FmODzgZlRkI appears to be abusive - 4.5)03:48
txwikingerSomething wrong with the Floodbot? I am getting thrown out of #ubuntu all the time04:07
rwwtxwikinger: I see two lines in /lastlog txwikinger in #ubuntu. One is you quitting with a "Read error: connection reset by peer". the other is you rejoining.04:08
rwwso no ;P04:08
txwikingerHmm.. odd. I got messages by the Floodbot asking me some stupid question and claiming  I am a bot :)04:09
txwikingerrww: Yeah.. I just managed to join again04:09
rwwbecause your client attempted to rejoin #ubuntu before you identified with nickserv04:10
txwikingerAh.. bad client :)04:10

Tm_Tjussi: I just noticed that we do not have any factoid about jockey08:08
jussi!nvidia08:08
ubottuFor Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto08:08
Tm_Tjockey isn't only about graphics drivers, so...08:11
Tm_Talso that wikipage gives nothing about jockey AFAICS08:11
Tm_Thmmm, I wonder if we need a new wiki page too for it08:12
jussiTm_T: but why do we need a specific jockey something?08:15
jussibetween !wireless and !nvidia/!ati I think its pretty well covered, no?08:15
Tm_Tjussi: indeed, but neither of those mention jockey or its usage08:40
jussiTm_T: the second section on the link for nvidia does, havent checked wireless - I assume that does also08:40
Tm_Tjussi: wouldn't hurt mentioning jockey right in the factoid, perhaps09:00
jussiTm_T: perhaps. suggestions?09:01
Tm_Tanyway, my brain hurts as I haven't slept much lately so...09:01
Tm_Tjussi: "For ... ...use "additional drivers" (or whatever it is called in the menu) to check and install drivers. For further information, see ..." or something like that?09:02
Tm_T!mp309:03
ubottuFor multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/musicvideophotos/C/video.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats09:03

Piciikonia: they mean you don't need to keep going on about how much they screwed up17:59
ikoniaI'm not18:00
ikoniahe keeps asking "is this the last resort"18:00
ikoniayes, it is because you jsut rushed in18:00
ikoniabut will this remove my data18:00
ikoniawho knows, you're limited because you rushed in18:00
ikoniaI'm not telling him the risky option for fun18:00
Piciikonia: I just got back here, haven't read the whole scrollback.18:00
ikoniaand the phrase "I could have read the man page but didn't"18:00
ikoniaso just rushed in18:00
ikoniadata is important 3000+ mp3's he ripped himself etc18:00
ikoniayou don't want to be told you've made a stupid mistake, that's fine, but stop telling me you want help but don't want to do what I tell you because it's risky18:01
ikoniathe reason you have to do the risky option is because you've made a stupid decision, and been lazy and not read up on what you where doing18:01
ikoniasorry,18:02
PiciI usually just let them deal with it themselves at that point, no reason to keep talking about if  they aren't going to be listening.18:02
KB1JWQYeah, if they're going to keep digging the hole deeper I'd rather not be the one who rents the backhoe for them.18:03
PiciGood analogy.18:03
ikoniaPici: and that's what I did18:04
ikoniaI explained once why they where in the situation they where in18:04
ikoniaI then just said follow the advice or don't18:04
ikoniaas I'm not arguing it, you've made a bad call, here is your option here is your risk, it's up to you18:04
ikonia"but I need this data....."18:04
KB1JWQWhich channel was this in?18:06
ikonia#ubuntu18:06
KB1JWQAnd who blew their data away?18:07
ikoniaremoteCTRL:18:07
ikoniahe didn't blow it away, he just put it at risk18:07
PiciI wonder if it was me.  I helped someone with a `find` command yesterday and they ended moving a bunch of data to a path that didn't exist.18:07
ikoniaPici: no no, it was a raid 5 array that had failed but he didn't take the used disk out of the raid array before swapping the physical drive18:08
ikonianothing to do with you18:09
ikonianow he's pm'ing me with more and more info about why he had to do it18:10
ikoniaI don't care, it doesn't change the situation, so take the risk or don't, it's not a massive risk, but it is there18:10
ikoniadespite me telling him not to pm me18:10
ikoniaI'm going home18:10

ubottuari-tczew called the ops in #ubuntu-motu ()22:05
macothe nick is familiar but i dont know if it's due to past bad behaviour22:12
tonyyarussoSeems vaguely familiar to me as well, but I don't think negatively so.22:24
rwwLjL: because IdleOne doesn't know what "fu" is, I guess?22:38
Jordan_UHe should have googled it first.22:53
necreo[Freenode] ==> Cannot join to channel #ubuntu (You are banned) :: I appear to have been banned again? Why was my exemption from my shellhost ban revoked? :(23:09
LjLnecreo: exemptions from blanket bans, when they are set at all, are only temporary23:10
necreoLjL: Oh, why is that? :(23:11
necreoI was wondering if I did something bad23:12
LjLnecreo: several reasons, basically they're difficult to handle, and you can't properly ban/mute someone who is exempted should the need arise.23:12
LjLnecreo: you probably did nothing bad23:12
LjLnecreo: but if you want to be able to join #ubuntu all the time, i'm afraid you'll have to find a different shell solution23:12
necreoHmmm ok, guess I'll use the freenode webchat client if I ever really need IRC help23:13
necreoThanks for the explanation23:13
Jordan_UCouldn't he also just get a cloak?23:41
LjLnot an unaffiliated one, gateway cloaks trump those23:41
LjLbut a project cloak would work23:41
Jordan_UI didn't realize there were different "levels" of cloak, thanks.23:42
rwwproject > gateway > unaffiliated23:43
rwwin terms of which applies23:43
