[03:32] <lotuspsychje> good morning
[05:35] <bittin> morning
[06:17] <ducasse> good morning
[06:19] <wyoung> Afternoon!
[14:22] <tomreyn> <TJ-> from now on I'm going to ask for output from some cryptic command that reveals the distro and cannot easily be spoofed!
[14:22] <tomreyn> that'll be the one question you never get an answer on. ;)
[14:22] <TJ-> hehehe well that is the point really :D
[14:22] <TJ-> self deselection
[14:23] <tomreyn> then i hope your ability to resist the urge to still support people will be stronger than mine!
[14:24] <tomreyn> but i took a siumilar strategy, and it helps prevent such frustration to a degree.
[14:24] <daftykins> never forget the CentOS guy that let the truth slip by sharing the shell formatting with [ ]
[14:24] <TJ-> hehehe yeah
[14:25] <jeremy31> apt policy base-files
[14:26] <TJ-> nah, it doesn't want to reveal any 'ubuntu' strings :)
[14:26] <TJ-> There's a package installed even in minimal with a file that hasn't changed in years; hash that :)
[14:26] <jeremy31> but Mint and Kali have their own versions of base-files
[14:31] <TJ-> jeremy31: yeah I know; my point was if someone doesn't see an ubuntu string in a result they may just clue in and report one from Ubuntu
[14:32] <TJ-> whereas a hash would take more time to collect/generate in most cases :)
[14:32] <jeremy31> use apt policy base-files | nc termbin.com 9999
[14:42] <tomreyn> let's add a computationally expensive hash mechanism to the execution only if it turns out not to be ubuntu!!!111
[14:44] <TJ-> great idea tomreyn
[23:44] <isapgswell> did anyone try nvidia ondemand profile?
[23:44] <isapgswell> external monitor connected into nvidia
