[gentle moss]

so he would get good seeds

[sullen thorn]

Killed... as in actually?

Oh

[gentle moss]

then got Embiid

who is a bad ass

[sand goblet]

basically they threw a season to build the best team they could

[gentle moss]

and called that strat

"The Process"

[sullen thorn]

Oh

[gentle moss]

but Embiid was so fucking good on the team

that HE became known as "The Process"

[sullen thorn]

That was like the least tangentially relevant thing to multiprocessing possible 😂

[sand goblet]

yep

my onion chutney is so

yes

I was so happy it was ready after maturing for a month

I regret nothing

well aside from the spice, it's too spicy, but yknow

[gentle moss]

man, i'm really happy with my basketball joke

[sand goblet]

yeah, someone might assume you actually know something that isn't related to IT or cooking

:P

[gentle moss]

i know other stuff

like fixing mechanical things, music uhhhh

[sullen thorn]

Idk I mean IT and cooking are pretty broad

[sand goblet]

but do you know about truth?

Truth has nothing to do with fact

Truth is the FEELING IN YOUR GUT THAT YOU KNOW IS TRUE

[gentle moss]

Truthiness

👌

[sand goblet]

I wonder if anyone will get that reference

nah, probably not

[gentle moss]

It's an old one

Like mid 00's

[sand goblet]

is it?

:P

are you sure?

[gentle moss]

Yeah, it's Colbert from mid-late 00's

[sand goblet]

nope

[gentle moss]

Oh

[sullen thorn]

Wait can I go back to my process issue for a sec?

[sand goblet]

it's steven universe

[gentle moss]

oh yeah then nope

but maybe they played from Colbert

[sand goblet]

yeah maybe, they have a lot of references

"Pizza rain... But no pizza clouds"

[sullen thorn]

Does a queue being process safe mean that all processes can access the queue?

[gentle moss]

"Did you know you have more nerve endings in your gut than in your brain? Go look it up, I didn't."

[sand goblet]

It means that multiple processes can access it without concurrency issues

[sullen thorn]

Oh

I thought the brain didn’t have nerve endings?

Or something

[gentle moss]

idk, that colbert bit was pretty good

sec

[sand goblet]

"I'm looking for.. My dad"

[gentle moss]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBRKPoAPXEQ

there you go gdude

[sand goblet]

"I'll help you look for your dad"

"No, I'm looking for MY dad, not YOUR dad"

[gentle moss]

i think it sounds pretty similar to your SU quote

[sand goblet]

I'm at work, can't youtoob

[gentle moss]

aw

[sand goblet]

actualyl fuck it it's probably short

[sullen thorn]

😂😂

[gentle moss]

it's 1m

[sand goblet]

haha, that's great

[gentle moss]

Old Colbert is solid gold

It's a shame that it's classed as a "character" and he can't use it anymore because Viacom will sue him

[sand goblet]

you know there's a problem when your onion chutney is hotter than your jalapeno relish

[gentle moss]

what kind of heat though

[sand goblet]

spice

[sour shale]

s p i c y

[gentle moss]

jalapeno heat is pretty weak

[sand goblet]

I had 9 onions and two small chillies

deseeded

[sour shale]

depends on the jalapeno

[gentle moss]

yeah but what chillies?

birds eyes?

[sand goblet]

"chillies"

[gentle moss]

hah

[sand goblet]

it didn't say

[gentle moss]

well there's your problem

[sand goblet]

I don't think they were birds eyes

[gentle moss]

fyi each and every chilli can be a different heat even if they're the same breed or w/e

[sour shale]

I find habs rly hot

[sand goblet]

well yeah

but not that much

[gentle moss]

well, idk

what did you put in the jalapeno chutney, maybe something in there cooled it

i tend to take a nibble of a chilli before i put it in to guage it

[sand goblet]

oh it's off the shelf

[gentle moss]

oh

that's why yours is hotter

lol

shit off the shelf is piss weak

[sand goblet]

that's not true

they sell some spicy as fuck stuff here

[gentle moss]

maybe it's because i live in a rural place that's stuck in the 1970's but i can't find anything hot enough to suit my tastes

[sand goblet]

I can get a satay wok sauce that will blow your face off

[gentle moss]

the closest i've found so far is a habanero and ghost pepper hot sauce

still not good enough :/

should just go on the internet and order some Pepper X sauce

¬_¬

[sour shale]

ghost pepper too hot

[gentle moss]

Ghost pepper is pretty good for me

[sour shale]

the hottest i ate was a scotch bonnet and i threw up milk through my nose

[gentle moss]

:D

My chilli con carne's are usually a mix of birds eyes, scotch bonnets and like two ghost peppers

I want to try a caronlina reaper in mah chilli one day

[sour shale]

wtffff

rip face

melted away

[gentle moss]

nah

i'm a hot boy

you heard about the guy who makes those carolina reapers?

[sand goblet]

I do use scotch bonnets sometimes

if I can get them

[sour shale]

you can get them online

[sand goblet]

not here you can't

basically what happens is you go to a supermarket

[gentle moss]

The guy who makes those chillis is literally called Ed Currie

[sour shale]

where do u live

[gentle moss]

and he eats them whole

[sand goblet]

and they have these packets of mixed chillies

with pictures on the back

so you can try to guess what's in it

[tame terrace]

scotch bonnet was actually my great great grandmothers name

[gentle moss]

was she hot?

[tame terrace]

she was married to edward currie so that's a weird coincidence

[gentle moss]

:D

[sand goblet]

they started selling entire bulbs of smoked garlic at tesco here recently

that shit is awesome

[gentle moss]

apparently that Ed Currie guy has loads of even hotter peppers than pepper x

and just sits on them

err... figuratively

that might be a little Johnny Cash otherwise

[sullen thorn]

Tf what Tesco u ad gdude?

Mine doesn’t sell smoked garlic

[gentle moss]

the larger one near me does

[sullen thorn]

Lucky :/ we have a Tesco Sainsbury’s M&S and coop with 500m of my house, but all of them are smallish :/

Don’t think any of them will have smoked garlic

[gentle moss]

fucking Coop

over priced and poorly stocked

[sullen thorn]

They’re the only one that have vanilla caramel brownie Haagen Dazs tho :/ all the other shops have strawberry cheescake and sometimes vanilla or idea

*oreo

[sand goblet]

forget haagen dazs

halo top is the shit

it's the best way to binge on ice-cream

[sullen thorn]

I don’t see vanilla caramel brownie...

[sand goblet]

The cinnamon bun one is my favourite

but they're all good

[sullen thorn]

Is a process created using multiprocessing any different from the process created by running python3 file.py?

[sand goblet]

it's a process

what more do you want?

[sullen thorn]

Idk - isn’t it like a child tho?

[sand goblet]

it's parented, yes

[sullen thorn]

Is there a difference between child and parent?

[sand goblet]

well, the OS will kill the children when the parent dies

[sullen thorn]

😂😂

Apart from that tho

Like i’m doing tests for udp broadcast

And much slower with child processes

Or I wrote something wrong

Which is likely

[sand goblet]

if you're sharing a variable then that's gonna be slow

memory mapping and IPC are slow

[sullen thorn]

I’m appending the result to a q after the test Is finished... that’s the only sharing

What’s IPC?

[sand goblet]

inter-process communication

[sullen thorn]

Oh

Still tho - I get latency of 1ms vs 0.2ms

Big difference :/

[sand goblet]

yep

that's about what I'd expect

you probably want to be using threads instead

[sullen thorn]

Nah wait gonna try something else

Hope it works 😃

If multiple processes try to write to a file at the same time...

Is that bad?

[sand goblet]

The OS shouldn't allow it, but it depends

you could have problems

[sullen thorn]

Ok i’m fine then 😃

Json thing but each process has it’s own key so should be ok 😃

[sand goblet]

that's not how files work

I don't recommend this approach

[sullen thorn]

I’ll come back when it fails then 😂 hopefully it works tho

[gentle moss]

oooooooooh juggalo's in the house!

oh right

inter-process communication...

:(

i also managed to misread that

just too excited for the clown possy

[sullen thorn]

Lmao

[gentle moss]

Maaaaaaaan

It's such a shame I have work to do between 3pm and 4pm

[sullen thorn]

Why?

Seems normal

[gentle moss]

The President of the United States is going to lead the UN Security Council meeting on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.

To put that in context, here he is talking about "Nuclear": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvFa4BP7AV0

[sullen thorn]

I can see that going so well, especially after the general assembly laughing at him, and that video

[gentle moss]

Yeaaaaaaaah

That's why I want to watch it ¬_¬

[sullen thorn]

@sand goblet it works 😃 !!

[rough sapphire]

!t f-strings

[royal lake]

f-strings

In Python, there are several ways to do string interpolation, including using %s's and by using the + operator to concatenate strings together. However, because some of these methods offer poor readability and require typecasting to prevent errors, you should for the most part be using a feature called format strings.

In Python 3.6 or later, we can use f-strings like this:

snake = "Pythons"
print(f"{snake} are some of the largest snakes in the world")

In earlier versions of Python or in projects where backwards compatibility is very important, use str.format() like this:

snake = "Pythons"

# With str.format() you can either use indexes
print("{0} are some of the largest snakes in the world".format(snake))

# Or keyword arguments
print("{family} are some of the largest snakes in the world".format(family=snake))

[sullen thorn]

i dont like them :/

and i use %s a lot for sql stuff

idk how to use fstrings for parameterized queries

[gentle moss]

f-strings are the best

and you can just wedge them in an sql query

SELECT * FROM table WHERE id = {someid}```

if it's an int

wrap it in single quotes if it's a string or w/e

[tame terrace]

don't do this

[gentle moss]

o

i better uhhh... go rewrite some code

¬_¬

[tame terrace]

if you're writing sql, your cursor.execute usually has a safe way to interpolate data while making sure not to allow any aroundfuckery

and yeah often that means not using f-strings

[gentle moss]

yeah like ? substitution

[tame terrace]

yeah or sometimes they do look like %s

[gentle moss]

i just thought it looked poop so i switched it to f-strings

[tame terrace]

well, if someid is ;DROP TABLE table; you're now fucked. it's just a bad habit.

[gentle moss]

makes sense

[tame terrace]

whereas if you use the executes built in interpolation, it doesn't allow that

but you're right that it does look kinda poop

[glass gorge]

I like sqlites ? Placeholder

Not so much the %s

Unless it was postgres that did ?

Im ok with the $ version as well

[fierce lagoon]

Learning Cryptography is pain.

So much cipher,cipher modes then padding and I'm still stucked in chapter 4.
Any suggestions?

[tired osprey]

It's not a pain

Just takes time

I sat 2 weeks on those damn Galois fields for AES (and tbh looking at it now it's embarrassingly easy). @fierce lagoon

[fierce lagoon]

@tired osprey It's just time consuming.
I learned about ECB,CBC,CTR,OFB,CFB,IV,nonce IV,random IV.
But after studying them I feel like I don't know anything.
Is this normal?

[tired osprey]

I think it's normal that you feel that you know less as you progress through stuff. Like when you think you know lots of stuff about python and then you learn that there are eg decorators it just opens a whole new world and you might feel stupid

[fierce lagoon]

Happens everytime.

Thanks,buddy.

Any idea in what category that site is?

just scroll a bit and read

[rough sapphire]

Hahaha

If I had a gun, I would mod a corkscrew on the trigger

So nice

[graceful mulch]

@fierce lagoon Make something using crypto, itll help you understand a lot faster

[fierce lagoon]

@graceful mulch Any idea?

Good suggestion but what?🤔

[graceful mulch]

yea i actually have a project in mind if you want to jump in the voice channel ill explain it

its actually perfect for starting because the crypto part is the heavy lifting of the process

just dm me when you want @fierce lagoon

[fierce lagoon]

@sullen thorn Oh,well if you're not into Cryptography that's not a problem.

@graceful mulch Okay, I'm leaving for college right now but I'll dm you (I'm not a native english speaker so voice chat will be a problem for me 😅 )

[graceful mulch]

not a big deal

we are communicating now fine

[gentle moss]

psssssssssst

anyone want some advice?

if you're buying, i'm selling

[rough sapphire]

I need some advice with my twitch bot. I can't get proxies working. Can you help me with that?

[slate quail]

why would a twitch bot need a proxy?

[sand goblet]

Yeah that's kind of weird

[slate quail]

oh 'cause it's illegal advice

[gentle moss]

👌

[sullen thorn]

So can we make this channel the channel where we discuss things that are in a grey area legally?

(Like only when it has this name)

[sand goblet]

No

The names are just a bit of fun and maybe can be used as a conversation starter

[sullen thorn]

Hmm... k what about things that are definitely not illegal, but might be disapproved of?

[sand goblet]

Just follow the rules as normal.

[glass gorge]

Man, I overslept by 5 hours. Hows that possible

[tame terrace]

it's possible because your circadian clock is out of sync with reality. :/

[sour shale]

Melatonin

[tame terrace]

every cell in your body runs on a 24 hour clock, but it uses cues like when you eat or how bright it is to try to figure out when nighttime and daytime is. and when it's wrong, your melatonin levels will be incorrect. these levels help you fall asleep and stay asleep. your sleep quality suffers, you oversleep or undersleep, and wake up tired. you can fix it by establishing good sleep routines, replacing white lightbulbs with warmer ones (so your brain doesn't confuse the light with sunlight), install apps like f.lux on your computer to reduce blue light emissions, and dim your phone. make sure your bedroom is completely dark when you're asleep, and maybe consider investing in an alarm clock that lights up the room when it goes off.

these are great

they fade in slowly over a half hour period, gradually making the room brighter and brighter.

until it's broad god damn daylight

[sour shale]

ALEXA TURN THE LIGHT ON!!

[tame terrace]

@glass gorge we answered your rhetorical question! :D

[sour shale]

Rip

[tame terrace]

that alarmclock can even play birdsong

as it wakes you up

birdsong and simulated sunrise is a really nice way to wake

[sand goblet]

I have my echo yell at me in alarm sound in the morning

But I always wake up before it

Like maybe 15 minutes before it

[sullen thorn]

Yeah but after a few months you begin to hate birdsong

Lmao

[tame terrace]

the circadian rhythm is super interesting, though. originally they thought that it was only stuff like temperature and sunlight that would affect it, and that there was a part of the brain that basically was in control of the whole thing.

but they've found that specific parts of your body can be out of sync.

like your stomach and intestines

this can really fuck with people who work shifts

[glass gorge]

I'm aware of the rhythm

[tame terrace]

because they might do everything correctly in terms of keeping it bright during their "day" and dark during their night, using curtains that block out the sun and special lightbulbs and stuff like that

[glass gorge]

And I have "rules" for bed

[tame terrace]

but because they eat at weird times

their intestines are like "oh yeah this must be breakfast cause we've just had a long fast."

every cell has its own clock

[sand goblet]

I find the trick is to still set my alarm, even if I have nothing on that day

[tame terrace]

and so they may end up with seriously degraded sleep quality

[sour shale]

Some people have bad melatonin genetics :(

[tame terrace]

just because they have to eat at weird times.

they might sleep 8 hours on the reg, eat regular meals, and still suffer poor sleep quality

just because they work shifts

and of course, low quality sleep leads to all sorts of problems

[glass gorge]

I normally go to bed 22:30, phone off, bedroom pitch dark

Etc

And wake up 620-7

[sour shale]

Sounds gud

Longer than I sleep

[tame terrace]

one of the most common side effects of poor sleep quality (or not sleeping enough) is that the parts of your brain that like to take risks are more active than the ones that deal with losses. so you end up taking risky choices. and this can lead, in turn, to obesity. because people are like fuck it, I'll take my chances and eat this thing for immediate reward but I'm not worried about the long term health effects.

and studies have shown correlation between overweight and working shifts o.O

also gambling

has been connected to working shifts

and stuff like tobacco use

@glass gorge that sounds like a health amount of hours, but again, it's important to tune your environment to ensure the best quality of that sleep. like if you're in front of your computer until 22:30 with all four of your monitors on full blast and no blue light filtering through those nice apps or wearing those stupid sunglasses, basically you're pushing the circadian clock forward a bit, because 22:30 is not sunset.

[glass gorge]

It varies

[tame terrace]

or if you lie in bed and fuck wiht your phone for an hour without dimming the backlight

but seriously. that simulated sunrise alarm clock? it's 👌

[glass gorge]

But I do only have a little laptop screen

[tame terrace]

ah yes, four little laptop screens.

[glass gorge]

One

[tame terrace]

nobody likes my four monitors joke, I feel so unloved.

it's every time

[glass gorge]

:(

[sour shale]

:)

I don't get it

[glass gorge]

You just like showing of

[gentle moss]

Wait

Is someone using less than 3 monitors?

[tame terrace]

the joke is that I'm completely incapable of comprehending that some people have fewer than four monitors. now that I've explained it I'm killing the frog.

[gentle moss]

They know that's a crime, right?

[tame terrace]

🔪 🐸

[glass gorge]

In peteopia maybe

[tame terrace]

🐸 🔫

[gentle moss]

i can't imagine doing work with anything less than 3 monitors

[glass gorge]

I HAve to do it all with 1 tiny

[tame terrace]

you don't have to

you're choosing to

[gentle moss]

Also, that's a crime

Watch you're back

We're onto you

[glass gorge]

I cba going home to pick up my monitors / setup

[tame terrace]

yeah watch you are back

[glass gorge]

As in I dont have a car.

[gentle moss]

god damn it

i'm full of typo's today

[glass gorge]

Id have to transport it over bus

[gentle moss]

I told Dell I was mad that "static happen every tim we peel plastic"

[tame terrace]

wow, that's like the worst reason I've ever heard.

[sand goblet]

Man back when I broke my laptop screen my school gave me a heavy old lcd monitor

And you can bet I carried it whenever I went anywhere with that laptop

[gentle moss]

Monitors are basically the shape of your back

you can just strap it on there

[tame terrace]

"I only do python dev on my phone because I don't want to set up the place where I live with a computer that I already own"

what's your favorite IDE? mine is QPython for Android

[gentle moss]

mine's the todo list app

[tame terrace]

I hear you can do code embeds in facebooks messenger now

[gentle moss]

it's both an issue tracker and an IDE

[glass gorge]

Hey thats my editor

[tame terrace]

if you didn't have four monitors I would say "oh okay go to a recycling station (like at BIR) or go behind a big electronics retailer (like Elkjøp) and you will find free monitors and cables."

[glass gorge]

Hmmmmmmmm

Maybe theres one close by

[tame terrace]

maybe

it does rain 24/7 in bergen though and those things are usually outside, so iunno

but I've seen tons of usable stuff

[glass gorge]

Yeee

[gentle moss]

Go to a medium / large business

say

[tame terrace]

monitors can usually handle some rain anyway

[gentle moss]

"Hey, you got any shit old screens I can take off your hands?"

[tame terrace]

haha

[gentle moss]

because they have to pay for electronics disposal

[tame terrace]

yeah

might work

[gentle moss]

and that shit isn't cheap on a big scale

[tame terrace]

but a lot of the time they would just say "no what the fuck" even though they totally do because you're not asking the one guy who knows that that's a real thing

[glass gorge]

I believe its the other way

[gentle moss]

call up a bunch of businesses pretending to be a supplier wanting to talk to the IT team about something

[glass gorge]

They get paid for recycling

[gentle moss]

no

it's not

[tame terrace]

you don't know. this is norway.

[gentle moss]

You have to pay to dispose of electronics as a business

It's; a European thing though

[tame terrace]

we're not in the EU

[gentle moss]

But you adhere to a lot of the guidelines

[tame terrace]

sure.

[glass gorge]

I got told of looking at left over electronics

Said we cant take it

[sour shale]

How do u get vitamin D in norway

When there no sun

[glass gorge]

Suppliments

[gentle moss]

I just looked it up

I think it does cost money

Although also not

Seems liek suppliers might have to recycle it

o_O

"Distributors are requried to take back WEEE and to inform consumers that they do so"

[glass gorge]

Huh

[gentle moss]

yeah that doesn't make sense to me either

[gentle moss]

In the UK they have to do that for batteries and shit

@celest egret don't be scared now, you're allowed to talk :D

[gentle moss]

Jens Michael Vincent

[tame terrace]

@glass gorge they are a great place to work, I've heard. their employees tend to stay there a very long time, and they offer a ton of internal training

[sour shale]

Can u read Norwegian

[glass gorge]

Id assume so

Cant be that hard

[tame terrace]

of course

[sour shale]

Looks hard to me 😮

[tame terrace]

me and chibli both live in norway

so it's probably easier for us

[gentle moss]

that helps with reading norwegian

apparently also speaking it

[tame terrace]

yes

speaking it for like 30 years helps a little, too

sometimes when I read norwegian

[gentle moss]

30 years

really

REALLY

[proper dune]

Norwegian just looks like drunk English

[tame terrace]

I think back to one of the times during those 30 years when I've spoken it

[gentle moss]

just pop out the womb like

[proper dune]

Dutch even more so

[gentle moss]

"ta da"

[tame terrace]

I said my first words around age 1

[glass gorge]

Oddly enough there is a connection there between living here and reading / speaking norwegian

[tame terrace]

and I'm 31 in like.. 3 weeks

[gentle moss]

god damn it norway

stop being so good

[proper dune]

Say english with a german accent and then pretend you're drunk, you're pretty much speaking dutch

[tame terrace]

yes

[sour shale]

I thought u moved to norway from somewhere else

[tame terrace]

I've lived many other places

ireland, canada, sweden

but I was born here, moved around to the rest of the world, came back.

[proper dune]

I used to have friends in Norway. One in Kristiansand and one in Skien. One moved to London for uni, the other moved to Ireland

Now I have no friends in norway

Sad

[sour shale]

Ye I guess I assumed you started in ireland or uk or something

[tame terrace]

NO FRIENDS?

[proper dune]

Well, i classify you as a love not a friend

Slightly different

[tame terrace]

I think it was jesus and the holy spook who said "love thy friends also"

[glass gorge]

Think

Thonk

[proper dune]

The norwegian trolls scared the kristian out of me

[tame terrace]

kristiansand, interestingly, is a fairly christian sand.

[sour shale]

Holy spook

Does norway have a lot of paganism

[tame terrace]

no, we're all atheists

except peoples grandmas

and some people in kristiansand

[proper dune]

So how often do you jump to Sweden to buy candy

[celest egret]

@tame terrace thanks hehe, new here and just trying to read up a little here and there

[tame terrace]

I don't eat candy, but it's like 50 minutes away by car from where I live now

[glass gorge]

Once a year

[lone otter]

Welcome!

[sour shale]

Hi Jens

[glass gorge]

But we only buy meat and such

[tame terrace]

yeah man, no problem dude. happy to have a @celest egret in our midsts

I bet jens is another scandinavian

[sour shale]

Jens is a Dutch name maybe?

[celest egret]

I am, swedish 😃

[tame terrace]

jens is incredibly danish, but all three countries use it

[celest egret]

Danish, my family is from Denmark, way way back

[tame terrace]

it's like the most common danish name

so it has emigrated to nearby countries because 50% of all danes are called jens so every time a dane moves to norway it's a 50% chance norway gains another jens.

[sour shale]

Is denmark similar to norway
Its a bit closer to the rest of europe tho

[tame terrace]

yes they're very similar.

but there are a couple of differences

norway has more beautiful nature - especially mountains. denmark is almost completely flat. denmark is much smaller, but with a higher population density.

denmark also tends towards more liberal politics

[glass gorge]

🚜 💨

[gentle moss]

Denmark is almost completely flat

and the bits that aren't flat

aren't Denmark

[sour shale]

I thought norway was super liberal

[tame terrace]

and of course, danish is completely incomprehensible, while norwegian is fairly straight forward.

:P

[gentle moss]

:D

I'd guess it depends on what you're using as a scale Cake

[proper dune]

Norwegian is just Swedish spoken with a Danish accent

[tame terrace]

that's funny and it's not the wrongest thing in the world

but in truth, danish and norwegian are literally the same language

because denmark occupied norway for like 400 years

and we spoke danish

we've only been diverging a tiny bit since the early 1800s

our written language is almost identical even today

but the pronunciation is very different

[proper dune]

Norwegian Danish and Swedish form a language continuum. You can see differences in Norwegian as you move from one part to another as it tends to shift from one side to another

[tame terrace]

yes, that's true, and it's very interesting.

[gentle moss]

Isn't it a thing that Swedes get treated worse in Denmark than Norwegians?

Like some sort of long standing cultural grudge?

[tame terrace]

maybe a little bit. sweden and denmark have closer ties.

they literally have a bridge from malmö straight into copenhagen

[fierce lagoon]

(Idk if this is a right channel to say this)
But you guys are more knowledgeable than my professors.
I respect you all.
:)

[celest egret]

I live in Malmö and I've never been treated badly in Denmark,

[proper dune]

I'd assume your professor isnt a professor of Norwegian?

[celest egret]

Could be that I'm a pretty nice guy

The bridge to Copenhagen is awesome. get on the train in Malmö, wait 30 min, and you're there! 😄

[tame terrace]

it also inspired a passable tv series

The Bridge

[fierce lagoon]

Nope,he's an Indian.
He don't know much.

[gentle moss]

Aw thanks Robin

[rough sapphire]

my buddy lemon

[tame terrace]

but to answer your question, @gentle moss, there's no real grudges between any reasonable people in any of the countries, it's just one of those neighbourly things that every country does, like how germans make fun of dutch people and canadians make fun of americans and vice versa.

not your buddy, pal. but go on.

[fierce lagoon]

Don't say thanks,ever since I joined this server, every member treated me so well,you guys simply deserve it.

[sand goblet]

I'm not your buddy, pal!

I'm not your pal, buddy!

[sour shale]

The Bridge was a great show

[rough sapphire]

kicked me last week on a suspicion i was someone else

[tame terrace]

who did?

[sour shale]

I like Scandinavian crime dramas LOL

[rough sapphire]

you

[tame terrace]

doubtful

[gentle moss]

yeah, i getcha lemon

[sand goblet]

Is that so?

[gentle moss]

but that's what i was sorta asking

[tame terrace]

did I do that, gdude?

[gentle moss]

like how the English call the Welsh sheep shaggers

[proper dune]

Scandinavian crime dramas? Norwegian death metal is the real jam

[gentle moss]

and the Scottish call the Welsh sheep shaggers

and the Irish call the Welsh sheep shaggers

[sand goblet]

You did kick him

[proper dune]

Dont forget the kiwis, they're also sheep shaggers

[sand goblet]

But not for that

[rough sapphire]

you guys said i was a guy by the name of vape but who is that?

[gentle moss]

Yeah, and the Aussies

Canadians get moose

[proper dune]

not the aussies what, except maybe the tassy people

[tame terrace]

I know who vape is, but have no reason to suspect you're him

[gentle moss]

aussies hafe loads of sheep

[sand goblet]

Uhh.. I never said I thought you were vape

[tame terrace]

so I must've kicked you for something else

[sand goblet]

I was talking to someone about vaping though

[gentle moss]

i vape btw

[rough sapphire]

i seen a vape getting mentioned

[proper dune]

if we didnt think you were Vape before, we do now

:P

[sand goblet]

Yeah that wasn't a smart idea

:P

[gentle moss]

I don't know who we're accusing here but I'd like to chime in and say dylan is annoying

[tame terrace]

aha, harassing an owner

[sand goblet]

This isn't a dogpile, bisk

[gentle moss]

yeah i know.

[tame terrace]

ah yes, gdude said that he thought there was something weird in your vape

[sand goblet]

Yeah

It's interesting that you correlated that with a user that you couldn't have known exists

[tame terrace]

not quite the same thing, and the fact that you jumped to the conclusion makes me definitely suspect that you are indeed ban evading

hmm.

[sour shale]

Im scared of getting banned

[proper dune]

$ban @sour shale

[sour shale]

😮

[proper dune]

❤

[fierce lagoon]

As long as we don't break any rule,we are good. @sour shale

[proper dune]

the plot thickens

[rough sapphire]

i was asking about jam

and then you was like you are an alt

[sand goblet]

Yeah, but I didn't mention anyone called vape

You've activated my trap card, I'm afraid

[rough sapphire]

i seen a guy called vape get banned in the MS community not so long ago

[sour shale]

Wow
Caught by a Yu gi oh card

[sand goblet]

Well at least someone got the reference :P

[gentle moss]

Blue Eyes White Dragon!

[rough sapphire]

this vape guy was very weird

[sand goblet]

Oh yeah? Tell me more

[rough sapphire]

he was talking about his poo

[sand goblet]

Shit-talking, was he?

[rough sapphire]

no like his legit poo

[sand goblet]

Yes I know

[celest egret]

badum-tsh

[sand goblet]

Oh, hey Jens

hi

[ionic hill]

If anyone feels a little down or needs a little boost of joy and passion and meaning in their life, listen to this. Sing with me.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sJUDx7iEJw

[languid kelp]

hi i'm here for some advice

[gentle moss]

that's illegal

[languid kelp]

what do you mean

what do you meme

[gentle moss]

advice, it's illegal

taps channel name

[ionic hill]

S H   A      R  E
 T    H E

S O    F     T WA R EE

:|

[gentle moss]

to be fair, he's nailed that raga

[languid kelp]

are you saying advice is illegal

[gentle moss]

yes

[languid kelp]

or adding to the fact that the advice that i am asking for is illegal advice

[gentle moss]

and i advise you to follow the guidelines

AW NO I DID IT

shit

[ionic hill]

🚔

[gentle moss]

so long cruel world, it's the clink for me

[languid kelp]

what i do

[proper dune]

he's joking dw

[languid kelp]

i need advice for rea

l

[gentle moss]

oh okay, yeah sure we can help

maybe

[proper dune]

try one of the #help channels if its python related

otherwise just ask here

[languid kelp]

i just sat down on the toilet to take a piss

and i ended up doing more than that

[ionic hill]

..

[gentle moss]

ah.

[languid kelp]

it's like when you sat down to code for just 5 minutes

(but ended up coding for hours on end)

[tame terrace]

so you pissed for hours on end?

[languid kelp]

no i took a dump

[tame terrace]

why, pray tell, are you telling us this

[sour shale]

ah yeah that can take hours sometimes

[languid kelp]

lemon, this is in relation to me asking for advice

it's not in relation to illegal advice, however

i can assure you that

[sour shale]

idk if it was 100% needed info

[tame terrace]

go on then

[languid kelp]

well, if you think about it, a lot of people have trouble doing tasks

but what if the tasks they have trouble doing were not with issues?

sort of like what happened with me

when i went just to pee

and it ended up being more

do you see what i'm saying...

[tame terrace]

not even a little bit

[languid kelp]

damn it.

surely you see it, even at least a bit

any task is going to be miserable to perform if there is no balance

but if you have balance, then tasks are a joy to perform

hello, fortune 500 companies, i have arrived, and here is my advice

^

just make the tasks fun to perform with the use of balance. check mate.

[tame terrace]

so how is this asking for advice. sounds like you're giving advice.

[languid kelp]

well, that's because this isn't the whole puzzle, it's a piece of it

[sour shale]

this confuses me

[languid kelp]

what exactly confuses you

[tame terrace]

dude, just keep working on getting to the point, I think

so far everything you've said is confusing :D

but maybe it'll make sense in the end

[languid kelp]

i've just made a simple point, and it's not a confusing point. any task that you want to take on, if you feel like you are missing something, you won't tackle that task enthusiastically.

so if you see what you're missing, in relation to the task in front of you, and if you can change it so it's not missing, the task will be easy.

that's all. it's very straightforward.

[tame terrace]

..and the advice you were gonna ask?

[languid kelp]

how do you deal with writer's block?

[tame terrace]

hahaha

I take a shower and then aggressively plan my next moves in the shower.

if I'm at work, I take a walk

talk to myself

[languid kelp]

maybe some electrotherapy

[tame terrace]

solve a rubix cube

then come back to the desk with a plan

[sour shale]

go gym

[languid kelp]

i have taken many showers, hoping that shower i would finally do that shower thing

but it never worked (anymore, by then)

i like the gym idea

[tame terrace]

the shower thing is super effective for me. but everyone has their thing. the point is, you take a break, go somewhere quiet and peaceful and strategize.

usually when I'm stuck it's just cause I don't have a solid next step

I know in the abstract what I'm gonna do

but I don't have a SPECIFIC next step

[languid kelp]

i suppose i feel like, one way or another, i've got a kind of writer's block, and.. i guess i'm impatient, and that's not good at all

[sour shale]

walk in the park

if you have a park

[tame terrace]

yeah. just get away from your desk and start trying to solve the next step problem in your head, basically.

doesn't really matter where. just don't do something involved while you're there

don't watch TV

or read a book or whatever

[languid kelp]

thanks guys

😃

[tame terrace]

still not sure how this relates to your toilet adventures but whatever :D

[fierce lagoon]

IRC saves my log as txt file(-_-).

[gentle moss]

a) what were you expecting

b) that password is hunter2

Apparently Heinz were going to rename Salad Cream because only 14% of people used it in salads

They were going to call it Sandwich Cream

but then people flipped their shit

[fierce lagoon]

I was expecting kinda privacy.

[gentle moss]

IRC is not a secure communications protocol for the most part

it's very MITM-able

and sniffing OTW

(over the wire)

[fierce lagoon]

Oh.

[gentle moss]

User -> Node is unencrypted

[fierce lagoon]

++

[gentle moss]

Node -> Node can be encrypted, but many IRC servers do not do this

[granite lake]

I got Kali up and running in vbox

Finally

What now

[fierce lagoon]

Now,long journey ahead.

[gentle moss]

Get some CTF's

[fierce lagoon]

Try Google CTF beginner quest.

[granite lake]

👌

[fierce lagoon]

And read some write ups if you don't understand.

[gentle moss]

AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHH

[sour shale]

why are they mixing F and C

in the same headline

wtf

[gentle moss]

because F makes the hot bit look hotter

and C makes the cold bit look colder

[sour shale]

oh wait its Daily Mail

never mind

[gentle moss]

still, who the fuck did that

[tame terrace]

a stunning 72 degree difference

...sort of

[fierce lagoon]

45°F difference.

[tired osprey]

Unit fights 👀

[gentle moss]

gotta love some customers

sit down at a PC, they haven't given me a password

look at the username, use username as password, i'm in.

[placid hound]

@gentle moss yes

What are you geek squad

[rough sapphire]

Ugh.

Are you working in tech support or something?

[gentle moss]

I'm a Systems and Network administrator :P

[sour shale]

Bisk sysadmin

[rough sapphire]

Customers?

Users.

[gentle moss]

Yes. We're business to business

So it's a combination

[rough sapphire]

Ah.

[placid hound]

@sour shale DistributedCakeAI.py

[rough sapphire]

Gotcha.

[gentle moss]

atm i'm doing boring grunt work because it gets me out the office \o/

[placid hound]

@gentle moss do you code at the office

[gentle moss]

yes

[fierce lagoon]

Network Admin,wow.

[rough sapphire]

Wanted to ask about some commercial secrets...

But, hey, don't want to temptate anyone.

[gentle moss]

network administrator sounds fancy but to be honest once it's set up there's not much to do

[placid hound]

@gentle moss if you quit the job, you should mess everything up

[gentle moss]

how about no i don't want to go to prison for causing damage to computer systems

wtf is wrong with you :P

[placid hound]

everything

That's what I would do tbh

[sour shale]

some people have done that

they went jail

[gentle moss]

well good luck ever having a job in the field again

that's pretty much burning your whole career

it's stupid as fuck

[placid hound]

hey I'm not THAT stupid

Just very stupid

[fierce lagoon]

But setting it up will be hard, interesting and challenging but more than that "pleasure" of doing it.

[rough sapphire]

Nah.

It's not so interesting really.

[fierce lagoon]

Afaik.

[sour shale]

it's easy to destroy stuff but hard to create

[gentle moss]

setting it up was amazing fun and a great experience robin

also pretty stressful, since we were doing an inline replacement of an existing network

[rough sapphire]

Was it exciting?

[gentle moss]

and couldn't have ANY downtime during the switch over

so we had to progressively upgrade the existing kit with our kit

[fierce lagoon]

Team work sounds cool.

[placid hound]

@gentle moss OR you could just RAT the computers and Snoop on them on the low-key every once and a while

They won't know it

[rough sapphire]

Setting something new up is interesting.

Other that that...

It's usually routine.

I did something similar to B2B it solution manager.

[fierce lagoon]

Now, I can clear my networking confusions too,man this is server is damn good.

[gentle moss]

we managed to replace a network that feeds +50 businesses across the business park over the space of 4 months with a total of only 5 minutes downtime

👌

[placid hound]

One time my computer got ratted and every account I had got jacked it was amazing

[fierce lagoon]

@gentle moss OMG.
Sounds pretty challenging and stressful.

[placid hound]

Oh and the person who ratted it played porn, which is how I found out that I got ratted initially

So I reset my computer

[gentle moss]

yeah, the core router switch over was really stressful

it was like "i'm so sure i've configured this right but uhhh.... lets quintuple check."

[fierce lagoon]

Oh. I downloaded a course of python networking let's see how it goes.

[rough sapphire]

Once we did about 2000 sqm of video surveillance, networking(about 30 pcs and 20-30 PDTs) and some Deutsch fire alarm system.

[gentle moss]

nice

[rough sapphire]

That's the biggest thing our company did tbh.

[placid hound]

How old are you guys

[gentle moss]

the business park is the biggest one we've done also

that's a pretty good install though

~30

[rough sapphire]

Usualy IT outsource ordered by small companies.

[placid hound]

Jeeeeesus. I'm 17

[gentle moss]

never would've guessed

[placid hound]

Obviously

I'm very mature

Just ignore my profile

[rough sapphire]

Well, here at least.

Worst we did was modernization of an old hospital.

No existing cable assemblies.

No existing network. Nothing.

Shittiest and dumbest work we did there. But, hey, it was long ago.

[sour shale]

Bisk have you ever been to Coventry ?

I like it there

[gentle moss]

it's quite pleasant

[sour shale]

I live london 😿

[gentle moss]

I used to live in the South East

[sour shale]

[gentle moss]

Croydon / Biggin Hill

[sour shale]

[gentle moss]

heuheuheu

[placid hound]

@rough sapphire Wow,sounds very convenient but interesting.

I want to work in startups because my college is shit.

But not enough experienced.

[gentle moss]

Oooooh I found a cool broken monitor

[celest egret]

That was actually really cool!

[gentle moss]

it's like art :D

[fierce lagoon]

Seems good.

[sullen thorn]

It’s like art except your pc screen is a little fucked

[robust sierra]

i would like illegal advice please

[sullen thorn]

Goddamn how many Import errors are there?

[robust sierra]

uhm

i think its only me in this server

[sullen thorn]

A guy earlier was talking about making a pineapple (that’s what bisk called it) u could ask him

Oh

Pineapples are quite illegal

[robust sierra]

where can i buy one?

any good black market that you go to?

[sullen thorn]

Hmm... we have a covered market?

Under cover

[robust sierra]

oh shit

u just reminded me to visit an electronics shop

thanks dood

[sullen thorn]

How do u forget something like that? But np lol

[robust sierra]

im planning on getting an rpi

i just want to see if my local electronics store has some components that i need

[sullen thorn]

Yeah like isn’t that something u would be looking forward to? That’s like forgetting to pick up the iPhone XS Max u ordered

[robust sierra]

i never ordered an rpi yet

i had an idea

where a bottle of water squirts me in the face in the morning

[sullen thorn]

That sounds like a terrible idea

Don’t make it a reality

[robust sierra]

well now i have to

[sullen thorn]

But it’s just gonna piss u off

[robust sierra]

but its going to help me wake up on time

[sullen thorn]

Bet u $20/£20 that u destroy it within 3 weeks of making it

Or like stop using it and never see it again

[robust sierra]

i can think of safety precautions

and ways of protecting the rpi

[sullen thorn]

First one is probably make it waterproof

[robust sierra]

yes

and it needs distance

the thing is

is there a component out there that helps u compress things?

[sullen thorn]

Uhh

[robust sierra]

thats a stupid question

[sullen thorn]

Like actual physical objects? Or data?

[robust sierra]

so basically

i want the bottle to squirt

i need something to squeeze it

i dont think there is a component

ah

im gonna have to scrap it :(

[sullen thorn]

Maybe buy a water pistol?

Probably best just to scrap it tho

[robust sierra]

if i use water pistol

how am i going to make it pull the trigger?

[sullen thorn]

It’s just a lateral movement

U can easily do that with a rpi

[robust sierra]

one sec

[sand goblet]

You two busy?

We could use a few extra heads on voice

[sullen thorn]

Sorta why?

[sand goblet]
