| OerHeks | next intel SWAPGS/WSGRBASE -leak... https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2019/08/silent-windows-update-patched-side-channel-that-leaked-data-from-intel-cpus/ | 00:23 |
|---|---|---|
| OerHeks | good thing: Exploiting the vulnerability using JavaScript is not possible | 00:23 |
| OerHeks | "SWAPGS attack" https://www.forbes.com/sites/daveywinder/2019/08/06/microsoft-confirms-new-windows-cpu-attack-vulnerability--advises-all-users-to-update-now/#4a44755173f8 | 00:24 |
| OerHeks | .. maybe AMD too .. | 00:25 |
| pragmaticenigma | but "sudo apt full-upgrade windows10" doesn't work | 00:25 |
| OerHeks | you must log out as ghost user first? | 00:26 |
| pragmaticenigma | oh | 00:26 |
| OerHeks | you know, user 0 | 00:26 |
| pragmaticenigma | maybe that's what I'm doing wrong | 00:26 |
| pragmaticenigma | I have user -1... does that work? | 00:26 |
| OerHeks | oke, put 2 fingers in your nose, and turn your mouse upside down | 00:26 |
| OerHeks | then reboot by pulling the powercor...wait | 00:26 |
| OerHeks | -1 ? | 00:27 |
| pragmaticenigma | how do i turn my mouse upside down and pull the powercord if my fingers are in mah nose? | 00:27 |
| OerHeks | man user -1 ; are you pregnant? | 00:27 |
| sarnold | no no put your fingers in your mouse and turn your nose upside down | 00:27 |
| pragmaticenigma | ah, makes more sense | 00:27 |
| pragmaticenigma | dang-nab-it...the mouse bit me | 00:28 |
| * pragmaticenigma goes and gets badages and a hammer | 00:28 | |
| pragmaticenigma | so ... um ... anyone know where I can get a new mouse, relatively cheap these days? | 00:28 |
| OerHeks | sometimes 2nd hand stores have nice mouses | 00:29 |
| pragmaticenigma | eewww... don't want a mouse that someone used while watchin naughty film | 00:30 |
| pragmaticenigma | brand new please | 00:30 |
| pragmaticenigma | :-D | 00:30 |
| OerHeks | yes, i know, the mousewheel is the dirtiest place on earth | 00:31 |
| pragmaticenigma | for sure! | 00:31 |
| sarnold | .. right after the human mind | 00:31 |
| OerHeks | hop on your bicycle, i have a trackpad somewhere | 00:31 |
| OerHeks | 52.3929173 N 4.6250156 W | 00:34 |
| pragmaticenigma | uh ohes... I'm negatives longitudes... that's gunna be a long bike ride | 00:34 |
| sarnold | don't be so hard on yourself I'm sure you could be more positive if you put your mind to it | 00:45 |
| sarnold | also I think you'll want to bring some goggles and flipperdeals | 00:46 |
| OerHeks | carefull for the sharks! | 00:46 |
| sarnold | they're more scared of you than you are of them | 00:46 |
| pragmaticenigma | say that to the 36 shark attacks this past month on the eastern seaboard of the north american continent | 00:47 |
| OerHeks | yeah, i read that, knee deep water .. | 00:48 |
| OerHeks | and what about those asian carps ... | 00:49 |
| OerHeks | are they not tasty? | 00:49 |
| pragmaticenigma | carp doesn't typically make for good eating, but they make a fine fertilizer for farm fields I hear | 00:50 |
| pragmaticenigma | I guess dependin on who you ask, they might make a decent meal: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/eat-the-enemy-asian-carp_n_6324896 | 00:52 |
| Bashing-om | Carp == pressure cooker == fish patties :) | 00:53 |
| pragmaticenigma | dog food is what my dad would call that | 00:54 |
| Bashing-om | pragmaticenigma: Truth ! | 00:55 |
| tomreyn | mcdonals calls it chicken mc nuggets | 00:57 |
| OerHeks | here we have 'kibbeling', fish pieces in crust .. | 00:59 |
| OerHeks | nobody can tell what fish and what part :-D | 00:59 |
| OerHeks | https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a3/Kibbeling_001.JPG | 01:00 |
| tomreyn | or whether | 01:03 |
| tomreyn | maybe veggie food is much more common than we all think | 01:03 |
| pragmaticenigma | anything deep fried and served with a mayo/ranch type dressing is probably hard for anyone to resist | 01:04 |
| OerHeks | Ravigott sauce... the secret | 01:05 |
| lotuspsychje | good morning to all | 03:06 |
| OerHeks | bed bugs? | 03:06 |

| BluesKaj | Howdy folks | 11:32 |
| EoflaOE | hello BluesKaj | 11:32 |
| BluesKaj | hi EoflaOE | 11:32 |
| EoflaOE | BluesKaj: Launchpad got attacked by spammers because I have seen questions and bugs that are spammy | 11:33 |
| BluesKaj | that comes with the territory, it's not new | 11:34 |
| EoflaOE | BluesKaj: Yes. I know that is not new. | 11:35 |
| BluesKaj | even linux users can be spammers | 11:35 |
| marcoagpinto | BluesKaj!!!! Hello!!!! | 11:36 |
| marcoagpinto | My dear brother! | 11:36 |
| marcoagpinto | >:) | 11:36 |
| EoflaOE | BluesKaj: Yes. And the questions to "Launchpad itself" are filled with "Please remove spam..." and hi marcoagpinto | 11:37 |
| marcoagpinto | hi | 11:37 |
| BluesKaj | hi marcoagpinto | 11:37 |
| EoflaOE | I have made a blog site which is focused on tech and Ubuntu. Do you want to check it out? | 11:39 |
| marcoagpinto | me? | 11:39 |
| marcoagpinto | >:) | 11:39 |
| marcoagpinto | I have been working on the GB speller + thesis since 6am | 11:40 |
| marcoagpinto | I have no life :( | 11:40 |
| EoflaOE | Yes. Do you want? | 11:41 |
| marcoagpinto | sure | 11:41 |
| EoflaOE | https://eofla.wordpress.com | 11:41 |
| marcoagpinto | Buaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa | 11:42 |
| marcoagpinto | it has a story... the Professor said that my thesis isn't a story :( | 11:42 |
| marcoagpinto | reading your page makes me realise how the professor was right | 11:43 |
| EoflaOE | marcoagpinto: Thank you so much. | 11:43 |
| marcoagpinto | the text flows naturally in your page | 11:43 |
| marcoagpinto | damn... it is so well written | 11:44 |
| EoflaOE | marcoagpinto: Yes. I proofread as I write. | 11:45 |
| marcoagpinto | yes, so do I in my thesis and use a grammar checker, LanguageTool | 11:45 |
| EoflaOE | marcoagpinto: Nice. I found a bug in Nautilus on Ubuntu 19.10 | 11:46 |
| marcoagpinto | I haven't used my VMs because of the Kernel 5 issues | 11:47 |
| marcoagpinto | but I guess 18.04 won't update it since it is the ESR | 11:47 |
| marcoagpinto | LTS | 11:47 |
| EoflaOE | OK. My Ubuntu VM on VirtualBox is stable. | 11:48 |
| marcoagpinto | EoflaOE: You would be the right person to improve my thesis... if I win the EuroMillions on Friday I will pay you :p | 11:51 |
| marcoagpinto | jk | 11:51 |
| marcoagpinto | :) | 11:51 |
| EoflaOE | OK. | 11:51 |

| tomreyn | i'm a bit late on this but ... DebConf talks with videos: https://debconf19.debconf.org/talks | 14:43 |
| nicomachus | which releases are on the 5.0 kernel? I've been paying so little attention I didn't even know 5.0 was out. | 16:09 |
| lotuspsychje | nicomachus: 19.04 and 18.04 with hwe | 16:09 |
| nicomachus | lotuspsychje: huh. Pretty sure I have hwe on my 18.04 but I'm still on 4.15 | 16:10 |
| lotuspsychje | brb gotta eat first | 16:10 |
| lotuspsychje | nicomachus: if you installed bionic from the start you have 4.15 | 16:13 |
| lotuspsychje | nicomachus: if you download the iso currently you got 5.0 now | 16:14 |
| nicomachus | gotcha | 16:14 |
| daftykins | nasty nasty HWEs | 16:14 |
| daftykins | ;) | 16:14 |
| sonicwind | RIP https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/cnazeh/osdisccom_is_no_longer_in_business/ | 22:16 |
| tomreyn | have any of you use me_cleaner against a cherry trail and can discuss their experiences? | 22:40 |
| tomreyn | or any cpu really | 22:40 |
| sarnold | I wouldn't test it on any system I needed to work.. | 23:06 |
| daftykins | is this something that's meant to disable the Intel Management Engine? | 23:07 |
| tomreyn | yes it is | 23:11 |
| tomreyn | i'm visiting a friend wh's got a matching flasher, so this seems worthwhile. | 23:11 |
| tomreyn | and, yes, i don't depend on this system to work. | 23:12 |
| daftykins | heh i'm running prime95 on the Dell Precision laptops i got for a friend and client recently, the 45W hex core i7 coffee lake CPUs are almost hitting 100 deg C on a couple of cores in one of them | 23:13 |
| tomreyn | better don't touch them! | 23:21 |
| tomreyn | is this with the latest bios installed? | 23:21 |
| daftykins | first thing i do with new kit :) | 23:29 |
| daftykins | BIOS, ME, thunderbolt firmware... the list goes on | 23:29 |
| daftykins | normally i'd be happy to pop them open and replace the paste in case it'll help | 23:30 |
| tomreyn | i wouldn't even know how to upgrade thunderbolt firmware - but then i don't have any systems which have this. | 23:39 |
| daftykins | just Windows utilities provided on Dell's downloads page for the model | 23:40 |
| daftykins | amusingly, the tool first powers on the controller - the OS suddenly goes "oh hey, new hardware..." and sets it up, so the updater fails as it doesn't find the device within a given time window... then you run it a second time and it's all fine | 23:41 |
| tomreyn | i see. so... if they get this hot then they're hopefully meant to? what do those specs say? | 23:41 |
| daftykins | well one of them is nudging its' Tj Max so that doesn't seem too ideal, i'm tempted to have a go at the paste but i've got the service manual open and it looks a decent bit involved compared to usual | 23:42 |
| tomreyn | :-/ | 23:42 |
| daftykins | plus... it feels kind of wrong to mess when it's new and under warranty :D | 23:43 |
| tomreyn | i guess you can't custom control the fan speeds either | 23:43 |
| daftykins | wouldn't want to fight its' own choices really, they're definitely running high :D | 23:43 |
| daftykins | huge twin fan twin heatpipe design too, so i'm really glad i didn't go with the other models that have far worse cooling | 23:44 |
