[00:43] It's time to do the nerd ritual [00:51] https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2019/01/google-planning-changes-to-chrome-that-could-break-ad-blockers/ [00:54] @SivaMachina, Yes. I am in favor of this as it exponentially increases security as some ad blockers have used their privileges to spy on users. These plugins essentially have full access to view anything that you see on a web page which can include emails, banking info, and more. Most of the ad blockers are legit but nothing prevents them from sending the contents of the pages to a remote server [00:55] Except it will also block possibly the best adblocker [00:55] Ublock Origin [00:57] It's so.. clicky [00:57] ;_; and nee [00:57] New [00:58] https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/006/077/so_good.png [00:59] @SivaMachina, I don't use ad blockers personally as ads are important for many web sites to be able to operate. With that said, there are several websites that employ overly annoying ads - I just choose not to use those websites [01:00] I unblock on websites that don't abuse the ads [01:13] Intel debuts Nauta for distributed deep learning with Kubernetes | VentureBeat … https://venturebeat.com/2019/01/23/intel-debuts-nauta-for-distributed-deep-learning-with-kubernetes/ [02:27] free game … https://www.gog.com/game/distraint_deluxe_edition [15:45] Hey All. I am going to schedule a meeting with at Mod Pizza in Pembroke Pines on Saturday. I know @Ivoriesablaze is not going to make it but I hope others can [15:47] Yeah, I'll be sooo sad to be where I'm going instead of there... [15:54] https://www.meetup.com/ubuntufl/events/258357481/ [16:17] @KMyers you have the Twitter account to promote it right? [16:19] Yes. Will post it there after my next meeting [16:20] Cool. [16:21] I want to go [16:23] @govatent, If you get on the road tonight, you may make it in time [16:23] @KMyers, That better be some damn good pizza [16:24] @mhall119, It is [16:59] Yea I like mod pizza [17:00] https://www.doctorofcredit.com/papa-murphys-any-large-pizza-for-free-when-you-text-freepizza-to-90421/ [17:00] @ahoneybun [19:57] Hey... my blog was featured on XDA - https://www.xda-developers.com/chrome-os-73-instant-tethering-non-pixel-smartphones/ [19:59] Nice! [19:59] Instant view is amazing on mobile btw [20:00] @Abrerr, I know [20:00] Your blog is practically the article [20:01] @Abrerr, Yup, they did some minimal re-wording. [20:01] You can now connect to your phone as if it were a wireless network. You do not need to manually enable tethering each time you wish to tether so feel free to leave your phone in your pocket or connected to a USB Battery Pack. You will even see your phone’s battery level under the wireless networking menu. [20:02] vs [20:02] Once connected you’ll be able to see your phone’s battery level in the networking section in your Chrome OS notification panel so you can get an idea of how long your Internet connection will last before you have to connect your phone to a charger. [20:02] At least they linked back to me, which is more than I can say for others [20:05] @KMyers, I was thinking the same thing, at least they linked to your blog lol [20:06] Atleast they're hosting the images in their article [20:07] @Abrerr, I dont mind if they use my images hosted on my server. Trust me, my setup is over-engineered [20:08] I have seen countless sites blatantly copy everything without giving credit, even using my images hosted on their hosting [20:08] That annoys me more [20:10] ew [20:12] @Abrerr, The worst ones are the sites that blur out my name on the photo or the profile photo that shows up in the Chrome OS menu. I dont watermark my photos but that is still a dick move [20:13] AT&T Just activated tethering for free on my plan. [20:13] @AdamOutler, Its about time as T-Mobile has had it for years [20:14] wow a plug right up on the top @KMyers awesome! [20:16] Very happy with freebsd so far, it gives me the prebuilt packages I'm used to from debian, and the ports tree for compiling that I'm used to from Slack [20:16] *Slackware [20:16] zfs is really frickin' neat too, I get snapshots [20:19] downside, ports tree relies on the community, and I wouldn't be able to update packages from source in a zombie apocalypse like I could with slack [20:20] How is ZFS? I've considered that and btrfs -- but sounds like a lot of storage overhead to hold onto snapshots [20:23] So really cool thing about zfs, it lumps all your free storage into a "zpool" which you then can pull from into any zfs filesystem mount [20:23] You don't actually need to allocate all your storage ahead of time [20:25] @Abrerr [20:25] that gets even better when you realize that zfs can be used on a single disk, or in raid configuration [20:26] "Storage pools: “virtualized storage” makes administrative tasks and scaling far easier. To expand storage capacity, all you need to do is add new disks (hard disks, flash memory, and whatever may come along in the future) to a zpool." [20:28] How is recovery if userland breaks? [20:29] If OS becomes toast and you load up a live cd or transfer the disk(s) to another chassis, it can just mount up as normal? Even if spanned across multiple disks? It retains is logical structure/zpool? [20:31] Hm good question, I'm not that far along yet. I do know that it runs checksums and self-healing are a thing. [20:31] "In addition, ZFS provides for self-healing data. ZFS supports storage pools with varying levels of data redundancy. When a bad data block is detected, ZFS fetches the correct data from another redundant copy and repairs the bad data, replacing it with the correct data." [20:31] and then there's also provisions to replace disks and/or take them offline [20:32] I'm sure the tools exist, I just need to pick them up or read up on em [20:33] This article might be useful to you https://blogs.oracle.com/zfs/zfs-data-and-pool-recovery [20:33] But because the featureset sounds so fancy with retention and flexibility, I worried that on a single disk of 1TB, maybe only 500 would be usable. I'm exaggerating the number, but you get the idea [20:34] I think there a cost but I believe it's not at 50% for a single disk [20:34] Not that I wouldn't mind trading storage capacity for peace of mind [20:35] I doubt it's 50%, I was just throwing a random cost out there [20:35] I'm actually wondering if it would be better to use multiple 250gb ssd's given the hardware had enough ports for it [20:35] Sounds like a fun lab for a weekend [20:35] span ZFS across ~3 disks [20:36] then transfer them to a new chassis/vm [20:36] xD let me know what you come up with [20:36] This weekend is all data in Py/R and RE2 (hopefully launches tonight) [20:36] lol [20:37] And probably some work stuff [20:37] I've been having trouble focusing but I'm working towards getting my website up [20:37] Then I have some tcp projects in Python I want to create [20:37] Using multiple jails to secure the various services and softwares installed (wikimedia, postgresql, wordpress, etc.) [20:37] python networking? [20:38] yeshh [20:38] Because basically -- [20:38] I hate when the GF asks me to send her something [20:38] and there's no easy way to xfer a file quickly [20:38] (I mean their prly is, I just haven't looked hard enough) [20:38] it should be damn cake to launch an app, have them discover, and send data. [20:39] and fix so many headaches [20:39] Mayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyybe I should just owncloud/nextcloud [20:39] but I don't feel like caring about another box in the house. [20:39] guess there's always the Digital Ocean VPS [20:39] idk [20:39] lol [20:40] stream of consciousness - I apologize [20:40] no worries [20:40] Use sneakernet! [20:40] XD [20:40] @RazPi, It's 2019 dangit! [20:41] Lol I work on 3 isolated networks @ work [20:41] Sneakernet is life :\ [20:41] XD [20:41] I wonder if you can rsync to a usb drive [20:41] I think you can [20:41] I'm sure [20:42] I wish certain vendors on certain software projects at certain workplaces would just use rsync with dedup [20:48] but rly tho - just python tkinter gui to select a file, feed it through a tcp session, saved on the other side [20:48] baby stuff [20:51] And when I started seriously considering GUI applications for python [20:51] I originally tested with QT [20:51] but found pysimplegui, which is craaaaaazzzy convenient [20:52] I mean it's prly not the prettiest thing ever [20:52] But for homegrown work tools [20:52] infodump - https://pypi.org/project/PySimpleGUI/ [20:53] get'r done = tk/pysimplegui [20:54] More professional = qt [20:54] actually ... 'PySimpleGUI source code can run either on Qt, tkinter, WxPython by changing only the import statement' [20:54] I thought it was wx only for some reason. I'm derp [21:23] http://www.mslinux.org/ [21:23] "...that comes from a horse!" [22:17] @AdamOutler and @RazPi - Going to make it down for Pizza? [22:17] https://www.meetup.com/ubuntufl/events/258357481/ [22:55] I'll try! What time? [22:55] @RazPi, 11:30, you are free to come down any time if you want to crash at my place and ride together [22:56] Ooh ok, I might take you up on that then! [22:57] I am working from home tomorrow so I an free anytime [22:57] I have to help move some stuff tomorrow so might be later in the night
