| diddledan | do people still buy sound cards? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcAicGVHNUU | 12:48 |
| diddledan | the video is "Is the SoundBlasterX AE-5 Creative's best Sound Blaster?" | 12:49 |
| m0nkey_ | diddledan: I need your regex skillz | 17:37 |
| diddledan | REGEX MAN! | 17:38 |
| * diddledan flies-in | 17:38 | |
| m0nkey_ | I need to identify a SNMP OID | 17:38 |
| m0nkey_ | Should be an easy one | 17:38 |
| m0nkey_ | .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5 | 17:38 |
| m0nkey_ | That's what an OID looks like | 17:38 |
| daftykins | o0 | 17:38 |
| m0nkey_ | but it can be any length of numbers | 17:38 |
| m0nkey_ | always seperated by a period | 17:38 |
| m0nkey_ | So far, I have this and it appears to work, but perl doesn't match it | 17:39 |
| m0nkey_ | ^\.[1-9+].+\d | 17:39 |
| diddledan | try \d+(\.\d+){7} | 17:39 |
| m0nkey_ | that's limiting to 7 | 17:39 |
| m0nkey_ | an OID can span many more | 17:40 |
| diddledan | oh | 17:40 |
| diddledan | is there a minimum? | 17:40 |
| m0nkey_ | .1.3.6.1.2.1 is the minimum | 17:40 |
| m0nkey_ | but | 17:40 |
| diddledan | what about maximum? | 17:40 |
| m0nkey_ | let me check the snmp spec | 17:40 |
| diddledan | and does it always start with a dot or is there a number before the first dot or is it optional to have a number first? | 17:41 |
| m0nkey_ | up to 128 fields | 17:41 |
| m0nkey_ | and yes, always starts with a . | 17:41 |
| diddledan | try (\.\d+){,128} | 17:42 |
| diddledan | might want {1,128} depending on implementation | 17:42 |
| m0nkey_ | ok | 17:43 |
| diddledan | the curlies are {repeat-minimum,repeat-maximum} | 17:43 |
| diddledan | so we're matching . and then any number of decimal numbers all wrapped in a repear at most 128 times | 17:44 |
| m0nkey_ | slightly modified it | 17:44 |
| m0nkey_ | ^(\.\d+){1,128}$ | 17:44 |
| m0nkey_ | that way if anything else is there, it doesn't match | 17:44 |
| m0nkey_ | so you can't do .1.2.3.a.b.c.4.5.6 | 17:45 |
| diddledan | nice :-) | 17:45 |
| m0nkey_ | that works nicely | 17:46 |
| diddledan | \o/ | 17:46 |
| m0nkey_ | so it ignores alphas, only picks up numerical and period | 17:46 |
| m0nkey_ | thanks diddledan | 17:46 |
| NET||abuse | boy oh boy, i'm trying to research the intel release schedule and decide on when i should schedule a laptop purchase, | 19:26 |
| daftykins | stuff should be getting 8th gen chips right now | 19:27 |
| NET||abuse | i'm on a near 2 year old xps 15 9550, skylake, and i'm wondering what the relative advantage of the next xps 15 chip update vs just going with the current 9560 will be. | 19:27 |
| daftykins | with such a new system you'd have to be wealthy or a fool to upgrade | 19:27 |
| NET||abuse | daftykins: yeh, so that is the coffee lake as far as I understand, | 19:27 |
| daftykins | yip | 19:28 |
| daftykins | i have the xps 13 9350 skylake model | 19:28 |
| NET||abuse | well, this is my main contracting laptop, and hoestly i'm beginning to worry about it's stability, probably had about 500 working days solid usage since i got it | 19:29 |
| daftykins | and what's unstable? | 19:29 |
| daftykins | always good to have a secondary machine if you depend on it heavily, mmm | 19:29 |
| NET||abuse | just finding it's hard powered off on a number occassions, if i use the gpu at all, after a short while it will completely overheat and hard power off. | 19:29 |
| daftykins | ooh-err, sure it's heat related? o0 | 19:30 |
| NET||abuse | i'm not a serious gamer, but i'm finding the occasion to play a game has become really hard due to the limited performance of the nvidia 950m that is in it and perhaps it's lackof heat management int he frame | 19:31 |
| daftykins | i'd be more willing to bet you've sucked in some muck and blocked it up | 19:31 |
| daftykins | the latest gen are bound to have nvidia 10 series chips now though which will be a massive difference | 19:31 |
| NET||abuse | hmm, well perhaps that's part of it, but i've also read a large number of reports on line of the 9550 just flaking out due to gpu heat | 19:31 |
| daftykins | if you work with these machines though, i'm a tad surprised you would mix business with pleasure - i'd keep gaming to a separate machine i don't depend on | 19:32 |
| daftykins | i think they come apart pretty easily to re-do thermal paste (TIM) and clean out the vents | 19:32 |
| NET||abuse | yeh, well maybe that's just my lazyness and slight dependence on a good machine for work meaning i can't afford a second good machine that can power games ;) | 19:32 |
| NET||abuse | but yes, i'll definatley do a maintenance job this weekend, | 19:33 |
| NET||abuse | i've a new contract starting on Tuesday, so might be a good opportunity to service the beaty | 19:33 |
| NET||abuse | beasty | 19:33 |
| daftykins | backup first :D | 19:33 |
| NET||abuse | ;) already syncthing'd everything to my nas | 19:34 |
| daftykins | interesting, the XPS 15 hasn't been updated on the Dell UK site yet - so those must be taking longer as usual - though the nvidia 10 series chips are in | 19:34 |
| daftykins | http://www.dell.com/en-uk/shop/laptop-and-2-in-1-pcs/xps-15/spd/xps-15-9560-laptop | 19:34 |
| NET||abuse | anyway, i'm pretty sure i'd like a new laptop for the sake of rolling forward spec /chipset wise and to retire this one to the backup work machine role | 19:35 |
| daftykins | mmm 9 to 10 series nvidia changes are meant to be in the order of 2x performance for the same power | 19:35 |
| NET||abuse | woah, really, 9560 has 10xx nvidia's? | 19:35 |
| * NET||abuse looks at the link | 19:35 | |
| NET||abuse | obviously i'm also a linux only user on these machines. | 19:36 |
| daftykins | yeah | 19:36 |
| NET||abuse | so i'm in a place where i really trust the linux support on the xps range, mixed with the sheer quality of the machines ... other than my current complaints :) rather than looking elsewhere so much | 19:37 |
| NET||abuse | i couldn't live with fat bezels again ... hurk... | 19:37 |
| daftykins | :D i hear that | 19:37 |
| daftykins | i liked avoiding hybrid graphics tech this time though, sticking to intel only with the 13 | 19:37 |
| NET||abuse | oh,, hah, Up to £115.00 back | 19:37 |
| daftykins | i often buy from the Dell Outlet since you can get great deals on there if you keep checking back | 19:38 |
| NET||abuse | yeh, but you really can't run anything decent from the steam catalogue on that | 19:38 |
| daftykins | i don't expect to use laptops for gaming | 19:38 |
| NET||abuse | yeh, fair enough, i would consider just going with the new 13 and it's 8th gen setup if i could get the crazy 32GB ram allotment :) i run very large test suits/vms' for work | 19:39 |
| daftykins | wow still limted to 8GB, that was the only point where i felt i was going against my preferences with buying this model | 19:40 |
| daftykins | oh no i wasn't on the top end of configurations, 16GB with ubuntu there | 19:41 |
| NET||abuse | yeh, there's those, just looking at the 11 variants,, hehe, that's a few isn't it | 19:41 |
| daftykins | good to see you don't have to go off to the hidden page of the developer edition model anymore to find the ubuntu ones | 19:42 |
