| valorie | oh my, some sexspam in #kubuntu | 02:56 |
|---|---|---|
| valorie | now to recall how to report that.... | 02:56 |
| valorie | @mark #kubuntu odsent sex-spam | 02:58 |
| ubottu | The operation succeeded. | 02:58 |
| === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang | ||
| bazhang | <bloatedbayesian> Try putting it in the microwave and seeing if the fan turns on then. | 07:33 |
| bazhang | got him in PM | 07:39 |
| bloatedbayesian | Is there a more general linux help-place that doesn't have restrictive policies that make everything feel sterile? I think I'd be better able to contribute there. | 07:45 |
| bazhang | ##linux | 07:45 |
| bloatedbayesian | I don't suppose they'd have a problem with the occasional questionable joke, would they? | 07:46 |
| bazhang | who knows, not our namespace | 07:46 |
| valorie | "everyone feel sterile"? | 07:47 |
| bloatedbayesian | *everything | 07:47 |
| bazhang | he told someone to put their computer in the microwave | 07:47 |
| bloatedbayesian | I'm a girl. | 07:47 |
| bloatedbayesian | Context matters. | 07:47 |
| bazhang | not in this case | 07:48 |
| bloatedbayesian | Yes, actually, it does. | 07:48 |
| bazhang | girls have more common sense than guys | 07:48 |
| bloatedbayesian | I hate being stereotyped. I can be a girl and still not have any common sense. And I mean context about the joke. | 07:48 |
| bazhang | its bad advice, jokes are offtopic, thats it | 07:49 |
| * valorie is a woman who prefers places where mutual respect is fundamental | 07:49 | |
| bloatedbayesian | Maybe then you'd understand why it's actually mildly funny. You see, the guy had an overheating problem and someone... well yes, I understand that you don't want any sign of personality cluttering up your helping-place. And that's fine, you have that right I guess. | 07:49 |
| bazhang | there's a chit chat channel | 07:50 |
| valorie | personality is expressed through false advice and bad jokes? | 07:50 |
| bazhang | and there's a support channel | 07:50 |
| valorie | gads | 07:50 |
| bloatedbayesian | You don't know the context, valorie. | 07:50 |
| valorie | sure | 07:50 |
| * valorie doesn't hang out in #ubuntu | 07:50 | |
| bazhang | most of us can compartmentalize and switch channels | 07:50 |
| valorie | too busy | 07:50 |
| bazhang | if you cannot, then #ubuntu is not the place for your "advice" | 07:51 |
| bloatedbayesian | Someone said that the fan wouldn't turn on unless it got hot enough, implying maybe it wasn't getting hot enough. So I was suggesting a way to test whether the issue was inaccurate temp reading software. | 07:51 |
| valorie | hilarious | 07:52 |
| bloatedbayesian | HILARIOUS! How did you know I was just about to say that!? | 07:52 |
| bazhang | if he did it, the results would be horrible | 07:52 |
| bloatedbayesian | Which is true of many genuinely funny jokes. | 07:52 |
| bazhang | it's never a joke channel | 07:52 |
| bloatedbayesian | And I'm pretty sure he knew not to take it seriously, especially since I made it pretty clear that it wasn't serious advice right after and in a non-awkward way too. | 07:53 |
| bloatedbayesian | There are joke channels? | 07:53 |
| bazhang | bloatedbayesian, your quiet stands. if there is nothing further to discuss, please dont idle here | 07:53 |
| bloatedbayesian | You mean #ubuntu? | 07:54 |
| bloatedbayesian | Anyway, what I'm in the market for is a blended up channel that allows a dash of jokes and maybe even the tasteful reference... I understand roughly why you have a problem with what I'm doing, but I hope you can understand my perspective as well. | 07:55 |
| bazhang | try asking in #freenode | 07:56 |
| valorie | some enjoy ##linux as well | 07:57 |
| bloatedbayesian | I wasn't sure if Linux had the properties mentioned. | 07:57 |
| bloatedbayesian | *##linux | 07:57 |
| valorie | dunno, too big and busy for me | 07:58 |
| valorie | I prefer lots of smaller ones | 07:58 |
| bloatedbayesian | The nice thing about a smaller community is that it's possible to be less restrictive without too much noise and chaos accumulating. | 07:58 |
| bloatedbayesian | I've got to say, the way you handled it was a little rude, bazhang. | 08:00 |
| bazhang | telling people to put things in microwaves is never helpful, nor funny/ontopic | 08:01 |
| bloatedbayesian | Humor is subjective. | 08:01 |
| bazhang | I pm'd you, you kept arguing in channel, then finally responded once you were +q | 08:02 |
| bazhang | support, genuine support is very clear to see. wasteful noise / offtopic "jokes" are equally very easy to spot | 08:02 |
| bloatedbayesian | On-topicness is also a little bit of an imprecise metric. You're actually just using one of several possible heuristics. | 08:03 |
| bloatedbayesian | And your entire attitude is confrontational. Just look at how you put quotes around the word 'joke'. | 08:03 |
| bazhang | regardless, this is not a debate about channel policies. your +q will remain for now | 08:04 |
| bloatedbayesian | I know you don't like my humor, but there's really no need to be harsh about this. | 08:04 |
| bloatedbayesian | Oh poor me not being able to interact in a channel I'm never going back to again. | 08:04 |
| bazhang | ok then | 08:04 |
| bloatedbayesian | And I'm sure I'm not the only one, which is really the only reason I'm mentioning this to you. | 08:05 |
| bazhang | kindly exit the channel at this time then. thanks. | 08:05 |
| bloatedbayesian | How do you know I didn't have any other issues to address? | 08:05 |
| bazhang | please proceed if so | 08:05 |
| bloatedbayesian | Policy recommendations, maybe a report or two... | 08:06 |
| bloatedbayesian | I don't. But don't be such a presumptuous idiot. | 08:06 |
| bazhang | no need for that | 08:06 |
| ubottu | In #ubuntu-server, Gaba1 said: !processor is AMD phenom 8750. OS is 64 bit | 08:17 |
| DJones | From memory, wasn't the mono project dropped? if so, should !silverlight be deleted or maybe linked to pipelight http://fds-team.de/cms/pipelight-installation.html | 09:37 |
| DJones | I've never had the need to try it, not sure how well it works as a replacement though | 09:38 |
| jussi | !mono | 09:50 |
| DJones | !silverlight | 09:50 |
| ubottu | For Microsoft Silverlight support, install Moonlight with the following command: « sudo apt-get install moonlight-plugin-mozilla » in a terminal. | 09:50 |
| jussi | err, silverlight yes, should have pipelight link. it works exceptionally well | 09:50 |
| DJones | Ah, it was moonlight rather than mono I was thinking of | 09:51 |
| ubottu | In ubottu, Avi67 said: Actually the thing is i wanr to install applications to a system which doesnt havr internet. | 09:59 |

| DJones | Has an email gone out about who the new ops are? | 14:33 |
| Pici | No. I'm still waiting on a reply about a question from the other IRCCers | 14:33 |
| DJones | ok cheers | 14:33 |
| daftykins | !recovery should be "If your system fails to boot for whatever reason, it may be useful to boot it into recovery mode. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode" | 17:30 |
| ubottu | daftykins: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 17:30 |
| daftykins | oh ubottu, i don't, i truly don't | 17:30 |
| rww | !recovery | 17:30 |
| ubottu | To rescue a broken system, boot the alternate install CD and select "Rescue a broken system" | 17:30 |
| rww | !-recovery | 17:30 |
| ubottu | recovery is <alias> rescue - added by Seveas on 2006-06-18 18:26:55 | 17:30 |

| bazhang | <[[[SENDAK]]]> I would like the displays colors reduced to 16. | 18:11 |
| genii | bazhang: Sounds the same as Fahr earlier in #kubuntu | 18:13 |
| bazhang | genii, or [[[[asimov]]]]: what is time | 18:14 |
| genii | Yes, Sendak and Fahr same hostmask .... asimov I dunno but probably too | 18:15 |
| bazhang | * [[[[SENDAK]]]] (~Thunderbi@32.150.142.193): [[[sendak]]] | 18:15 |
| bazhang | asimov was the same iirc | 18:16 |
| bazhang | <[[[SENDAK]]]> 16 is better for coding. | 18:20 |
| bazhang | yeah its him | 18:20 |
| phunyguy | that hostmask looks familliar, I think they joined #u-offtopic but didn't say anything yesterday | 18:21 |
| Pici | its not an unreasonable request | 18:21 |
| Pici | just it would be better to do that via the vnc client itself | 18:21 |
| bazhang | asimov started the same way | 18:22 |
| bazhang | it quickly descended into farce | 18:22 |
| genii | Can anyone understand what blanko is going on about? | 19:15 |
| bazhang | police have his encrypted hdd | 19:15 |
| DJones | Erm, leave well alone | 19:16 |
| genii | Yes, seems to have quieted down about it now | 19:16 |
| DJones | Give them the password | 19:16 |
| phunyguy | hunter2 | 19:20 |
| bazhang | "policy" | 19:20 |
| phunyguy | ... | 19:23 |
| bazhang | * [[[[wilhelm]]]] (~Thunderbi@32.148.150.37): [[[wilhelm]]] | 19:56 |
| Pici | bleh | 19:56 |
| bazhang | aren't those all server names? | 19:56 |
| bazhang | asimov, sendak, wilhelm | 19:56 |
| Pici | yep | 19:56 |
| bazhang | <[[[wilhelm]]]> Is it possiblr to resize an LV that is in use? | 20:03 |
| bazhang | he just asked that as [[[[[[[[sendak]]]]]]]]] I thought | 20:03 |
| genii | FYI: truecrypts site was compromised and a different version inserted there now. | 20:16 |
| bazhang | just saw that | 20:17 |
| ikonia | isn't wilhelm1 banned ? | 21:09 |
| ikonia | about 3 times as he keeps evading ? | 21:09 |
| h00k | genii: interesting | 23:29 |
| h00k | https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7812133 | 23:33 |
| genii | Yup | 23:34 |
