arraybolt3_wcman, it's amazing what channels you forget exist when you've been away from distro development for six months04:02
Bashing-omarraybolt3_wc: If you do not use it ---- you loose it :P04:07
Zed`Hi anyone here use DigitalOcean by chance and still have a clean copy of the sources.list  - I goofed mine all up and I don't want to create a whole new droplet to get a new one...12:26
Zed`I am getting a distro-info-data held back error and I am sure that is the issue.... 12:28

ubottuZed`: Since Ubuntu 21.04, APT may hold back some updates on some systems while they are being phased in. This is called "phased updates". See https://ubottu.com/y/phased and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PhasedUpdates for more info.12:29
Zed`oh I understand that thank you..12:30
Zed`I was helping the folks over at #Irssi update their package and instead of properly updating the files as the soruces.list instructs I edited the file directly so thus my request :)))12:31
Zed`what's more I did it so long ago I don't have a backup or snapshot with a good copy of the file hehe12:32
Zed`I'm a bad man12:32
Zed`So while it may be a phased update issue my file is still fUx0r3D12:35
* Zed` curtsies12:35
Zed`and good morning to those that are 12:36
Zed`TZ'd in the morning12:36

oerhekshmm is spotted ' Noble' ? http://zone0.clouds.archive.ubuntu.com/dists/noble/Release19:58
arraybolt3_wcoerheks: Noble is the official first half codename for 24.04, we don't know the second half of the codename yet (or at least I don't).20:08
arraybolt3_wcI'm using a VM with the Noble repos enabled right now :D20:08
arraybolt3_wc(for Lubuntu development)20:08
oerheksah, i missed the news20:09
EickmeyerIt's not open for development, but it exists.20:10
EickmeyerIt's Noble Nanimal (no animal announced, so codename incomplete).20:11
arraybolt3_wcInteresting line of C++ code for the day: `mac[i / 3] = *reinterpret_cast<char *>(&currentByte);`20:33
arraybolt3_wcmeaning - convert an unsigned char to a signed char and store it in an array. Surely there has to be a simpler way to do than than the mess of pointers combined with a reinterpret_cast, but I couldn't find it, so...20:34
arraybolt3_wc*that than, not than than20:34
