[06:55] a [06:55] oops [06:55] morning though [06:55] howdy all [06:55] Didn't get facebook job :( [06:56] need a little more systems knowledge [06:56] SuperMatt: awww that sucks, and what systems? [06:56] As is, what system calls are called when starting a process [06:56] yeah that sounds a bit in depth [06:58] yeah [06:58] though my coding was fine, apparently [07:02] are you going to try again? [07:03] One day [07:03] cool [07:14] morning boys and girls. [07:19] morning brobostigon :D] [07:22] morning MooDoo :) [07:46] what system calls *are* called when starting a process? [07:46] * SuperMatt shrugs [07:46] essentially, they want kernel level knowledge [07:47] SuperMatt: time for some reading then :D [07:47] indeed [07:48] I'm thinking about LPIC-1 [07:48] https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=zGYC5Y-FIOUC&pg=PA15&lpg=PA15&dq=what+system+calls+are+called+when+starting+a+process&source=bl&ots=lcZ6nYWZOQ&sig=V4bDE_xLu_Y-1AdA2-T7UhdszZM&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjMjOvm5LXWAhWCA8AKHZFADqo4ChDoAQg8MAQ#v=onepage&q=what%20system%20calls%20are%20called%20when%20starting%20a%20process&f=false [12:48] really annoying issue with slack [12:48] somehow it grabs the clipbaord and hogs it [12:49] using slack? :-P [12:49] 9/10 i'm pasting an old clip [12:55] really interesting: https://medium.com/starts-with-a-bang/the-greatest-cosmic-puzzle-astronomers-find-stars-that-appear-older-than-the-universe-71bee462c6be [12:56] is there a less bloggy link? [13:07] I can shortlink it if you want a link that looks different [13:33] I want to make a big wall-mounted "keyboard" for the house. Ideally a white dry-erase surface with a grid of buttons. Then I can draw out keys and map those to actions via an Ubuntu server. But does anybody know if this mythical wipe-clean whiteboard-keboard thing exists? Or do I have to make this from scratch? [13:39] Everything I search for pushes me towards a smart board (without a projector) or a touchscreen overlay... But they're both pretty expensive options for an application where I need —at most— 30 buttons. [13:58] I have no idea whether you can use something, but sounds like the laser projection virtual keyboard ? [13:58] I'veen one on amazon, don't know if it works with linux though [14:05] Yeah sort of. That just seems very complicated. All I need is a matrix of large membrane buttons with something I can draw on on the surface. [14:06] Just doesn't appear to be something that exists. [14:06] I'm almost considering pulling a DDR mat apart. [14:06] That's the sort of scale I'm almost talking about [14:09] I was about to say, sounds like something you'd have to make yourself if not [14:09] Rip a keyboard apart and map the keys you want to use and stick a cover over them [14:09] Get one of the clear membrane covers for keyboards [14:10] Yeah. It's just a shame there aren't enough people as weird as me to justify mass production of these. [14:13] I guess that's why most people use smart boards in schools etc [16:56] i think dnd now has software that'll project, might be an alternate starting point for similar features... === james is now known as Guest73338 [19:53] HSBC want a 90 minute appointment to create an account, hrmm [20:09] ring your own donuts and coffee? :-) [20:09] *bring [20:09] cor, i'm hoping for a free coffee at least! [20:10] you'll get a free calendar like everyone else... with the heros of hsbc on it... in their skivies... [20:11] ooh that might be a bit too fancy for HSBC Offshore, down here on the rock [20:12] maybe a free branded biro which lasts a sentence or three of writing [20:12] if you had opened the deluxe business account you'd get a red stapler... :-) [20:15] woohoo \o/ [20:15] well that might help a few peopkle here in ireland... http://www.rte.ie/news/2017/0921/906622-government-outlaw-zero-hours-contracts/ [20:18] diddledan: https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-41v6n3Vaf5s/UeRN_XJ0keI/AAAAAAAAN2Y/YxIHhddGiaw/s1600/css.gif [20:48] https://imgur.com/gallery/a6vhvzp [20:48] need [20:50] popey: I'm closer :p [20:53] haha :) [21:01] O_O [21:05] wow [21:19] I love finding old sites: "Rewrote the page in valid html 4.01 strict." [21:20] nobody cares about being "valid html" anymore [21:20] either it works or it doesn't [21:21] it's even got those w3c checkmark icons to say "I really did validate it, honest, guv" [21:21] e.g. http://www.w3.org/Icons/valid-html401 [21:21] as long as the mobile version makes you cringe and head to a desktop browser to get anything done, everything is normal! [21:30] does it have an undercontruction gif? :-) [21:35] google chrome is refusing to open stackexchange sites [21:35] is that a bug or a feature? [21:36] I'm not sure [21:37] diddledan: url? [21:37] https://stackoverflow.com [21:38] works fine for me! [21:38] well the site loads [21:38] https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/8cHQYGds/ [21:38] yip fine here [21:38] diddledan: that one didn't [21:38] other https sites are loading fine so it isn't a misconfiguration of proxy [21:38] diddledan: ah they saw you coming [21:50] o_O [21:58] https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/LUJK5pML/ [21:58] weird [22:00] are you running some convoluted setup from your many racks to help confuse your DNS setup and so on? [22:00] I don't _think_ so [22:01] if I curl direct to an IP from DNS resolution I get SSL correctly starting [22:02] e.g. stackoverflow.com. 197 IN A 151.101.1.69 [22:02] I curl that IP and get a result that no hostnames in the certificate match the IP (because it expects me to be asking for a hostname, not IP) [22:03] curl: (51) SSL: no alternative certificate subject name matches target host name '151.101.1.69' [22:03] that's fine AFAICT [22:05] openssl s_client can connect [22:05] for some reason curl and chrome are failing [22:06] firefox also can't get there [22:06] AHA [22:06] forgot about that [22:06] I fix [22:07] turns out I had two default routes at the same priority - one for my real gateway and one from a stupid usb gsm dongle [22:10] o0 [22:12] surely it's a bit faster than GSM :D
