[00:28] <daftykins> haha i decided to search for where that software might have extracted - https://i.imgur.com/2C8pCog.png
[00:29] <daftykins> <300 KB of program, 24,666 KB of node
[00:29] <penguin42> ouch
[00:32] <daftykins> event viewer says it just crashes xD
[00:32] <zxmpi> you just have to rewrite it to make it work :-P
[00:35] <daftykins> that's a tall order for a free bag o' minstrels, maltesers, m&m's, skittles or a bar of galaxy
[00:38] <zxmpi> stolen food tastes better than unstolen food. a million lunch thieves can't be wrong :-P
[00:38] <daftykins> maybe a smarticle could take this contents and find a way to print multiple freebies xD
[00:38] <daftykins> one of the .js is full of links to projects it's using on github
[00:39] <zxmpi> the great skittle heist of 21. fame forever 
[00:39] <daftykins> just need to tempt a dev, hmm
[00:39] <zxmpi> split the skittles 50 50
[00:39] <daftykins> :D
[00:40] <zxmpi> tastes like victory
[00:40] <daftykins> oh good news with that Netgear switch btw, ongoing testing at home - i confirmed that only ports 1-4 gave slow throughput from the internet over a wifi AP - finally got Netgear support to issue an RMA and so they have shipped a replacement to the client \o/
[00:41] <daftykins> that was the one that was causing slow WiFi etc, finally got to the root cause
[00:41] <daftykins> well, no explanation found... just something screwy with the first 4 ports
[00:45]  * penguin42 had a port go dodgy on his (PC based) router - an old old quad Tulip card
[00:46] <daftykins> this was brand new! only iperf showed throughput was absolutely fine wired to wired
[00:46] <daftykins> and in fact it was also quite speedy wifi to wired, but downloading an ISO from a VPS online was the smoking gun demonstration of the flaw
[00:46] <daftykins> ports 1-4: 50 KB/sec, all other ports: max of my connection
[00:47] <penguin42> oh fun
[00:50]  * zxmpi watches micromen for first time in a decade or so :-)
[00:54] <daftykins> enjoy! and with that, i think i will sleep
[00:54] <daftykins> ttfn \o
[01:00] <zxmpi> o/
[02:19] <m0nkey_> I have a confession to make. I'm quickly approaching 40. I just ordered my first pair of crocs. I'm not even sorry.
[11:52] <daftykins> m0nkey_: this is important though... do you have the socks to match? xD
[13:54] <diddledani> more "my willy is big and i'm gonna wave it!" https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/install-and-configure-wordpress/13959/41
[14:00] <daftykins> "apt install ubuntu" wat
[14:00] <daftykins> yeah that guy needs to be removed from that, totally unhelpful
[14:00] <diddledani> they meant apt install wordpress
[14:01] <daftykins> yeah, just a pretty amusingly glaring mistake
[14:01] <daftykins> also adding a period there on a command example is rather unwise
[14:01] <diddledani> hah. i didn't spot that one
[14:02] <diddledani> I dont understand where they got the idea. "oh you just want to argue" from
[14:02] <diddledani> I stated my reasoning, that's it
[14:03] <diddledani> 🙄
[14:03] <daftykins> yeah you hadn't said anything since the prior post for there to be any sudden ramping up of grump
[14:04] <daftykins> just saw this site linked from a post on thereg - these prices are suspiciously cheap: https://theunitysoft.com/
[14:05] <diddledani> i don't get the wide variation in prices for windows
[14:06] <daftykins> usually these super low ones are someone who set themselves up as a volume license source, then are breaking the terms of that by selling to consumers
[14:52] <m0nkey_> daftykins: naturally 
[14:53] <diddledani> crocs and socks!
[14:53] <diddledani> yey
[14:54] <zxmpi> save the socks for your sandles when you become a linux sysadmin :-)
[14:54] <m0nkey_> i am a linux admin
[14:55] <zxmpi> blue socks and brown sandles it is then :-)
[14:58] <m0nkey_> now i need to grow a neckbeard 
[14:58]  * penguin42 strokes
[14:59] <zxmpi> are you old enough for a neck beard, would a manbun be more appropriate? :-P
[15:11] <m0nkey_> is there really an age when you transition from bun to beard? 
[15:14] <zxmpi> when the male pattern baldness kicks in :-P
[15:15] <m0nkey_> thankfully no family history of that
[16:21] <zxmpi> then i think you fall back to when common sense takes charge :-P
[17:25] <penguin42> zxmpi: I've always seen it as a matter of gravity
[17:28] <m0nkey_> gravity? i have that in abundance. 
[17:33] <zxmpi> surround yourself with cats, learn to ignore gravity :-)
