@lilac glade I’ve heard the netgear nighthawk is like the best gigabit router
Looks terrible though
steel fox
Word
lilac glade
I don't need a Netgear Nighthawk when I already have enough equipment to outscale it in 5 years.
steel fox
Tru
As long as it’s got the hardware to keep up. Googling around says quad core @ 3ghz is your target processor speed for gigabit
tame pier
Yeah I haven't looked at how well PFsense handles throughout in a long while
lilac glade
😎
Most likely, this wouldn't need to host a complete gigabit throughput, but it would be nice having the speed to do whatever I want.
steel fox
Yeah
Honestly even at 100mb I don’t feel limited
Like 100gig games are done in an hour
Sometimes even faster
lilac glade
Also, running things alongside it like Squid, Snort, and PFBlocker would take up a bit of processor speed as well.
Would also probably do ad-blocking on the router-level, just because fuck ads.
Also, when these are the plans I get, I kinda just want the gigabit plan because it's the least money/Mbps that I'm paying for.
It's also not like it would go to waste, because I'm a big-ticket internet user, my brother is constantly online doing things web-browsingy, and my sister only uses the internet for Youtube.
In the end, it makes sense not to.
Not to mention my 2nd sister, who - actually, I don't know what her bandwidth usage is like.
But, that's what we'll have Squid for.
Better to cache data than to keep downloading it every time.

Anyone ever made their own fish tank?
tired osprey
No
sinful copper
fish tanks don't really seem like a diy kind of thing - small ones are easy to buy, and large ones require serious engineering
since it holds easily hundreds and potentially thousands of pounds of water, depending on size
lost hornet
true, but since when did easiness become a requirement of DIY projects
sinful copper
a very large aquarium may require reinforcement of the floor below it
ebon quarry
Thank you again for your patience. I will be with you as soon as possible.
dusty shadow
This is a really stupid question.
I'm trying to put my discord bot up on discordbots.org, but I have no idea how to describe it
My bot doesn't do anything
ebon quarry
Why do you want to put it up then
ebon quarry
For some ideas, mine does
- self-role assignment of select roles configured by staff
- automatic moderation through configurable rules, for example "allow n messages in m seconds, when violated apply role x for y seconds"
- a clean command with argparse support:
uhhh what else does it do
basic mod commands, but every bot has those nowadays
temporary roles are a nice thing
dusty shadow
Cause your bot is actually useful
ebon quarry
i'd argue otherwise 😛
dusty shadow
@client.command()
async def quiet(ctx, child: MemberConvert):
await ctx.send("Keep it down, {0.mention}, my love.".format(child))
# await ctx.send("Keep it down, " + message.mentions[0].mention + ", my love.")
@client.command()
async def scold(ctx, child: MemberConvert):
await ctx.send("Listen to {0.mention}, {1.mention}".format(ctx.author, child))
@client.command()
async def cookies(ctx):
await ctx.send("If you kids be nice, I'll make you some cookies!")
I just saw my friends making bots and I wanted to do that too
The idea that I came up with was Your loving, caring mother.
ebon quarry
haha
Hey, you could try to make custom commands
So users can, for example, run ```py
!addcmd cookies "If you kids be nice, I'll make you some cookies!"
rough sapphire
idk where else to ask, but just one small thing, if i am writing bot for Discord, which stores info of others (even if only in RAM), do i have to write privacy policy for it?
lilac glade
If you collect information with your bot, and somehow, someway, your bot makes it into EU netspace, then yes.
sand goblet
Discord's ToS actually does require that as well
lilac glade
Oh, does it now?
sand goblet
yeah
lilac glade
Just to cover for GDPR?
sand goblet
It's been there since way before GDPR
sand goblet
they're not enforcing it because half of the staff thinks it's a dumb idea
but they might
lilac glade
They probably should, tbh.
steel fox
True @sinful copper but I was thinking of like a 400gallon tank or so. Big enough to be expensive that DIY becomes worth but not quite like massive scale
sinful copper
ok but
that is 3000 pounds of water
which is well into the zone where you'd want to reinforce your floor, too.
steel fox
Also true
sinful copper
I mean I'm not here to tell you how to live your life, but like there's a reason they're expensive
insurance also might not like a DIY aquarium that size
steel fox
Yeah for sure. Just seemed at least a little doable on the surface
sinful copper
i mean, people do build them
but this isn't like a coffee table. you need to know that the glass, and the frame, and your floor, can support the pressure/weight
steel fox
Guess first step is checking with landlord about the floor before either buying or making one
sinful copper
....lol, you rent?
definitely coordinate all this stuff with your landlord and insurance (and if you don't already have renter's insurance, you will need it, and it'll probably go over better with your landlord if you assure them that you will get the necessary insurance coverage)
My lease actually has a clause saying you need a specific insurance rider for a waterbed - and i'd say a fishtank is at least comparable to a water bed in terms of the potential damage it can do if it goes wrong.
steel fox
Yeah. I looked at the lease when I first started wanting one about s year ago and it’s not mentioned at all either way. But I do have a fatty policy
sinful copper
I'd guess that a big fish tank is the kind of thing that insurance would want to know you have, and premium goes up
steel fox
For sure could be
sinful copper
(and if it's DIY they might want it professionally inspected)
knotty beacon
Insurance predators lol
sinful copper
eh
knotty beacon
I had to fight Liberty Mutual in court for a year, so I am biased
sinful copper
400 gallons (3338 lbs) is a lot of water
that's, like, four or five whole bathtubs
imagine all of that on your floor
steel fox
But think of all the cool fish
sinful copper
them too
on your floor, that is
just saying, it is a risk, so having insurance specifically for it is sensible
steel fox
Yeah for sure

theres a project euler problem for this lol
ok so the idea is

basically you can think of this as min_triangle(triangle[0][0] + min(min_triangle(0, 1), min_triangle(1, 1))

Yeah I understand the algorithm just wasn't sure how to write it in a DP table
I think I got it though

hold up ill show you my solution maybe

with open('p067_triangle.txt', 'r') as f:
triangle = [list(map(int, i.split())) for i in f.readlines()]
def max_triangle(a, b, cache={}):
if (a, b) not in cache:
cache[a, b] = (triangle[a][b] + max(max_triangle(a + 1, b), max_triangle(a + 1, b + 1))
if len(triangle) > a else 0)
return cache[a, b]

🤔 found a good interview question
rain spindle
I'll just ask the problem.
So let's say I have a 100*100 grid. You can move across these points on the grid, one position at a time.
If 20 people move randomly along the grid, they leave black squares where they have been
My question: what is the most efficient way for the 21st person to move to a non-black square in the least number of moves?
rain spindle
Lmao
@rough sapphire I'm thinking you move in a snake pattern
Like a swirl
Not sure that's the most effective tho
steel fox
If you don’t know the starting positions it’s not possible I don’t think. You can only give a %
Even then I think your best bet is to run simulations because it’s non deterministic because of random moves
rain spindle
@steel fox a better way to describe it is imagine there is 100 by 100 white squares
At random, 50 are filled in
From any point on the grid, what's the best way to avoid landing on the filled in squares.
E.g just moving left
Moving in a circle,
Etc
That's what I was looking got

Let's see if it is.

that pseudo code meme is not tru
python is not really pseudo code
there is a language like:
while i < 5 do write i then write double i;
crimson scaffold
the meme is not true?
My life is a lie.
No wonder my code never runs....

@lilac glade why would github be blocked
lilac glade
In our district, we have Github blocked on the ISP level (we are our own ISP) in order to prevent the children (and adults who think they know better) from downloading potentially dangerous content that could break systems.
plucky ridge
What kind of business are you in ?
lilac glade
We're in the business of IT, servicing mainly school districts.
plucky ridge
There.... feels like a bit of a disconnect there
lilac glade
Our district has been dedicating a bit of time to CS, so we locked it down.
plucky ridge
Is this just for the school locations themselves or is this even in the IT department?
lilac glade
Even in our office.
meager slate
That seems dumb
plucky ridge
Sheesh
That honestly seems like paranoia
With no real benefit
If people want to damage computers, they don't need some random GitHub hack to do it
meager slate
If you blocked some porn site it would make sense, but blocking something that literally shows you source code to what you're downloading
plucky ridge
I get the general gist as to why, but honestly...
sand goblet
GitHub isn't a repository of malware, though
They have rules and policies about that
rough sapphire
"people could download dangerous content, block github, don't worry about the fact that dangerous content will be much likely to appear in other places"
sand goblet
yeah, github is probably one of the safest places
meager slate
Yes
lilac glade
tell that to the leads
Or, just don't tell them about GitLab.
Grant me a tiny bit of sanity lol
plucky ridge
Are the leads actually IT folk or are they just management?
lilac glade
They're IT folk.
Old school, though.
plucky ridge
Huh
lilac glade
Yeah, it's definitely weird.
plucky ridge
My condolences

Ehhh, I've learned to use mobile data, but Github doesn't do mobile scaling well.

vpn somehwere?
plucky ridge
Can't say I've ever been desperate enough to visit GitHub to use mobile data
-scratching at arm- "No man, you don't understand, I NEED some open source right now!"
lilac glade
Nah, it's good when you're looking at something again after not understanding it the night before.
plucky ridge
I understand that for sure
wheat crescent
Okay regarding the same topic. Is it against GitHub policies to post malware codes? Because I have seen plenty stuff already there
tulip palm
@wheat crescent second from the bottom.
wheat crescent
There are several repos already. There was a ransomware written in python..lol
Oh okay I just remembered they (author) make the code useless a bit by removing some parts out
To prevent malicious usage by malicious people
bleak lintel
well, if I remember, there is a malware library on GitHub
gilded valley
What I the district though @lilac glade who is actually affected by the block
bleak lintel
it is for analysis but the malware is live
I also saw some malware where the C2 was actually on GitHub, I can't remember how it interacted with it though, might've been through GitHub issues
wheat crescent
Isn't it better for learners to learn from these codes? I think it is good for genuine learners.

I remember my high school IT called github a scam site, python 3 a virus, and visual studio code ransomware
It was wild
sinful copper
I have seen scam sites hosted on github before - same issue as with any free host really
worn kite
okay, we never had something like that
but our whole network of Windows XP desktops back then was infected with some Conficker virus for years
The thing that would automatically copy itself as autostart on every plugged in USB
wooden kindle
VS Code is ransomware 
rough sapphire
I'd be surprised if my hight school IT knew what was github, python and visual studio back then
wooden kindle
One time a student found out that you could send emails to the entire school email database because they had it set up so a specific address would relay it to everyone.
So they sent porn to everyone through the school email.
sinful copper
my class discovered winpopup and accidentally started sending chat messages to the whole network (we thought "workgroup" meant, like, just the one lab - or only computers that had winpopup open, except that wasn't needed on district staff's Windows 2000 machines)
worn kite
on our computers, cmd.exe was blocked, but we needed a terminal for the IT class, so our teacher showed us how to unlock it 😛
or actually bypass, by using the old command.exe instead
worn kite
just had to create a link to that file on the desktop which we could run, nothing fancy
tired osprey
why not just write your own little cmd script?
meager slate
Was blocked on ours too, so you made a batch script and it opened
granite lake
agh
worn kite
yeah, would probably have worked too
I remember I made some batch scripts to wipe the Conficker virus of my USB sticks after plugging them in there
granite lake
😮
sinful copper
all you gotta do is rename whatever exe file you want to run to notepad.exe
weirdest school IT decision that I've still got no idea why
they uninstalled charmap.exe
I assume they just saw it in the recent used programs and assumed people were using it for something nefarious
worn kite
hmm.... all those evil letters.... not in my christian classroom!

I was taking a programming class in C++ and we were doing a game of life program, and i was looking up the character codes for top and bottom half blocks to fit twice as many cells on the screen
and then the next day it had vanished

After you turn 21, get a second fake ID that says you're younger than 21 so you can still get kicked out of bars.

Hey guys
what code editor should I use?
sublime seems nice
vs code is so slow
OS is ubuntu
dusty shadow
The general recommendations by this sub are here: https://pythondiscord.com/info/resources#editors
steel fox
pycharm 👌🏾
dusty shadow
Many people recommend PyCharm for a full featured IDE
If you don't want something as heavy, look for at the Editors header on that site
steel fox
Clion 👌🏾
dusty shadow
Clay is recommending full featured IDEs
steel fox
^
dusty shadow
If you don't want that, a generic code editor like Atom or Sublime will work
rough sapphire
I don't seem to be using the entire feature set of an ide
I just seem to be editing code and building stuff...
in command line
with make
dusty shadow
IDEs provide code completion, linting, hints, and all the bells and whistles
I personally don't like heavy IDEs
I just use a simple code editor with syntax highlighting
dusty shadow
When I used Ubuntu, I used Geany for the longest time
It's not popular
I didn't like VSCode, and I never tried Atom or Sublime
Maybe one of those will work for you ;)
rough sapphire
I tried Sublime... got confused big time...
VSCode was too slow...
gedit seems to be the best for me so far...
though I think I'll give Geany a shot simply because I want fast and furious editors...
dusty shadow
I was attracted to Geany because it looks like Notepad++
rough sapphire
Nice
dusty shadow
Then when I was on Windows for a bit, I couldn't get used to Notepad++, so I installed Geany
Which requires the GTK libraries for Windows
literally no other app uses that
steel fox
using wsl 👌🏾
dusty shadow
lol that was before wsl

I've been trying my hand at vim...

now my primary laptop broke so I got a cheap used chromebook

that's not working out well either

You could also just use nano

And Gallium is full Xubuntu for chromebooks

I could only justify spending $100 for a used 13"
I don't know why a sane person would buy a $1000 pixelbook

I love my air

Oh LOL
no worries

I'll probably be stuck with this Yoga for at least 2 more years in college
dusty shadow
The biggest problem with my previous laptop was its weight
With this chromebook I'm able to bring it to school everyday
rough sapphire
Really?
Honestly... I thought Chromebooks with xubuntu should run pretty well
My current editor is gedit LOL
so anything should work for me...

Hated the experience more than the O S.

Chromebooks have better screens and keyboards?

I'm still confused with getting a new laptop or not LOL
dusty shadow

Cause you have a desktop

I don't have that kind of dough
steel fox
its just more convenient and take notes by hand
dusty shadow
take a look at the link I posted
steel fox
I always tried to be lazy and take notes on evernote or w/e
and i just didn't remember the material as well or anything
dusty shadow
They suffered from 1 of a few problems, such as having a really low end CPU, only 2GB of RAM, no SSD, poor displays, poor touchpads and so on.
Also for the most part, Chromebooks in the $300ish range had much better keyboards, touchpads and displays found on similarly priced laptops.
My model has upgradable ssd slot

Is it actually practical or nah?
slate quail
but as you correctly identified, in no way shape or form practical
lunar jetty
ok
slate quail
the only reason I can imagine you'd need that skill is analyzing something that can't be analyzed by other means
steel fox
It’s also not really a useful skill to have. At least with ASM it has some merit. Machine code doesn’t really at all
slate quail
or if you're a hardware developer working in very small cases
but no one "writes in machine code"
not anymore
proper dune
@lunar jetty Converting assembly to machine code is an exercise often given to undergrad CS
Its just an exercise and doesnt have much use because asm is more than good enough usually
There's pretty much 0 benefit to writing straight up machine code
