i have a bash program running in a shell so if i close the window will program also stops ?

gentle moss
#

unless you launched it into a new context

#

no

rough sapphire
#

what about ctrl+c

#

that kills the program

terse sluice
#

i think you can launch in detached mode, but i don't remember how

solid pollen
#

ctrl+c doesn't stops it

#

It move it to the background

#

And then you can type fg to bring it back to the foreground

rough sapphire
#

or i can just start program with nohup

solid pollen
#

You can

gentle moss
#

you could also just <launch command> &

#

nah, nevermind

solid pollen
#

But depending on the program, making a service in a service manager might be a better choice

gentle moss
#

that's still per session

sand goblet
#

Closing a window/session will send a SIGHUP to the process, causing it to exit unless it has specific handling for that signal

#

This is what you want

gentle moss
#

if you want to be lazy

#

use screen

sand goblet
#

If you want something to continue running when you close the window, then you have a few options

#

You use screen if you're working on something manually and want to come back to it later

#

If you're running a daemon (for example a server) then you probably want to use a systemd unit

gentle moss
#

orrr if you're lazy just use screen

#

¬_¬

solid pollen
#

Creating a unit isn’t that hard :D

sand goblet
#

If you just want to drop back to the terminal, then you can use CTRL+D - and use fg to get back to your app

#

Never use nohup if you can avoid it

#

It makes for extremely messy process management

solid pollen
#

CTRL+D? Isn’t it C? I have my anwser

sand goblet
#

Also, CTRL+C will send SIGINT (a keyboard interrupt) to the program, usually that's a closing operation but some apps don't use it for that

#

Most text editors will ignore it because a lot of people try to use it to copy text accidentally

#

But basically everything else will try to stop what it's doing and close

#

So there you go, @rough sapphire

#

Job control in a nutshell

#

Unlike what bisk will tell you, screen is NOT the lazy option

solid pollen
#

_Or you can open another SSH connection if you do use SSH, and leave it running in the background 😄 _

sand goblet
#

A systemd unit is by far the easiest and laziest way to get a server running

rough sapphire
#

_Or you can open another SSH connection if you do use SSH, and leave it running in the background 😄 _
@solid pollen
that really annoys me

sand goblet
#

There are also apps like tmux (and its better cousin, wemux) that can multiplex one terminal

#

So you can split it into panes and run more than one thing

#

Tilix is a GUI app that does the same thing

plucky ridge
#

I think the Manjaro one allows for tabs

#

Or is this slightly different

sand goblet
#

Almost all default terminals on Linux support tabs, yeah

#

I think only xterm doesn't

plucky ridge
#

Lame

gentle moss
#

[15:07] gdude: Unlike what bisk will tell you, screen is NOT the lazy option

#

that depends entirely what you use it for

#

ooohhh, you were shitting on systemd

#

that's fine

solid pollen
#

But he did say systemd is easy to use

gentle moss
#

screen is easier

#

screen + runmyshit.sh + ctrl + a, z

solid pollen
#

It is really that easy?

#

A shame that you need a CTRL key

#

(yes I sometime don’t have a ctrl key)

gentle moss
#

weird thing to not have

plucky ridge
#

Well I mean he leases it out part time

solid pollen
gentle moss
#

wow

#

you're out of control

solid pollen
#

Hehe

sand goblet
#

@gentle moss screen is easy until you have more than one of them

#

I don't even install screen on my boxes anymore, it's so useless

gentle moss
#

named screens

#

duh

plucky ridge
#

named screens
This one's Terry, this one's Steven, this one's Bernard...

sand goblet
#

And you just remember all the names?

#

Perhaps you'd remember the name of your unit instead

gentle moss
#

screen --list

#

just sensibly name shit, duh

#

when i started working here everything was named super fucking dumb

#

servers like vulkan, starbug, starbuck(always confused with starbug), citadel, mars, blah, blah

#

worst

gentle moss
#

that ganimal from last night is the gift that keeps on giving

vestal briar
#

Last one of these looked like a peeled off face in peppironi

narrow elm
#

is anyone here proficient with java?

plucky ridge
#

Okay so what exactly are these?

#

@narrow elm Sort of, what do you need

terse sluice
plucky ridge
#

Students

terse sluice
plucky ridge
#

He licks for eternity

narrow elm
#

@plucky ridge well like im new to java so its nothing extreme. I use netbeans however if that effecsts anything

plucky ridge
#

Shouldn't, Java code written in one editor is as good as written in any other

gentle moss
#

they're hilarious

#

ganimals

golden walrus
#

tag your #body horror

vestal briar
#

Seen worse

#

Yesterday I watched an hour of people getting stabbed to teach us not to stab or something

#

Thank you school

gentle moss
#

it goes in so smoooooooth

vestal briar
#

Uhh

plucky ridge
#

Sorry, almost missed it

vestal briar
#

I saw someone with their hand cut off hanging from a thread and someone ripped apart from infection after stabbing themselves?

plucky ridge
#

Woah wait why is this being discussed?

gentle moss
#

school work

plucky ridge
#

Uh... huh

vestal briar
#

If someone is a type of person to be going around stabbing it's not going to stop them

gentle moss
#

it might even make them want to stab people more

#

:OOOO

#

it's like when they used to show us videos in year 6 of kids climbing pylons

#

or going into substations

#

and shit like that

#

except stabbing

vestal briar
#

Most are just in a gang rather than murderers though

#

Oh yeah

#

We had that one

#

I think I saw the aftermath of a bus accident

undone berry
#

I'm pretty sure those kinds of awareness videos have either 0 or negative effect, and always have. But schools continue to run them to make it feel like they're doing something goos good

gentle moss
#

do something goose today

vestal briar
#

And I have seen 2 hours worth of people being either struck by lightning (to teach us something?) and the other hour was about the 3rd rail

#

Yeah

gentle moss
#

don't carry a fully assembled fishing pole under powerlines owez

#

you might die

vestal briar
#

Noted, thanks for the tip :)

undone berry
#

The only one of those I remember is a speedaware course with quite possibly the most poorly acted tragedy

vestal briar
#

It was a bit excessive to show 11-12 year olds

gentle moss
#

oh that accident where the girl gets smashed up

vestal briar
#

Actually no, 10-11

gentle moss
#

and rebuilds herself

sand goblet
#

If you like those sorts of videos..

undone berry
#

and I have no idea why they did a speed awareness course with 16 yos

sand goblet
gentle moss
#

i mean it goes in reverse

sand goblet
#

These are a bit more fun

gentle moss
#

to stop you speeding when you get your license at 17

vestal briar
#

I mean at least it builds up gore tolerances?

gentle moss
#

DUH

vestal briar
#

That's the only good impact it could possibly have

gentle moss
#

tbh steak and cheese dot com did that for me ages before school even touched on it

#

rofl

undone berry
#

The only thing that will stop some people speeding is a lamp post

gentle moss
#

they wont actually stop you

vestal briar
#

Or a brick thrown from a bridge

undone berry
#

and showing a video you just meme on isn't even gonna discourage you

gentle moss
#

because they're designed to collapse now

vestal briar
#

As we where taught in a quite grusome manner

#

I think I have seen some marginally worse things than what school has shown on my time on the internet

#

11foot8 is great

#

Every time they put up another flashing sign but yet there are still crashes :)

undone berry
#

The bridge has gone now

quasi estuary
#

so if you were a city planner, how would you solve the 11foot8 problem. people will still hit it despite huge flashing signs

undone berry
#

do what they did and raise the bridge?

gentle moss
#

^

sand goblet
#

It hasn't gone

#

They're still posting videos haha

undone berry
gentle moss
#

it's 8 inches higher than it was

quasi estuary
#

costly solution

undone berry
#

which might not be much, but its still not near as iconic

gentle moss
#

the other option is to put in an height detection system that issues fines

#

people hate fines

#

so along with a fucked up truck

#

you get a $10k fine

sand goblet
#

Oh yeah

quasi estuary
#

bridge has 3 paths to it, but most trucks come from the road straight-on. so 300ft before the bridge have a camera detect the height of a vehicle and have a rubber damper drop down overhead to 'bump' their truck @ 11ft 8" to catch their attention. non damaging.

gentle moss
#

hah

quasi estuary
#

just a tap, with a big sign that says "this rubber damper is 11 foot 8 off the ground, you will hit the bridge ahjead"

#

cheap + easy solution

gentle moss
#

HGV drivers should know the height of their vehicle

undone berry
#

Thats not gonna fix the problem

gentle moss
#

if you started fining companies and revoking licenses

quasi estuary
#

why piers

undone berry
#

thats very ignorable

gentle moss
#

you'd probably see a change

quasi estuary
#

the rubber damper hitting your truck??

#

you couldnt NOT notice it

#

a distinct "thump"

undone berry
#

yeah

gentle moss
#

noticing doesn't matter

undone berry
#

then you wouldn't give a fuck about it

gentle moss
#

if they don't know the height of their truck

undone berry
#

and you'd drive into a bridge

quasi estuary
#

hmmm

gentle moss
#

and ignore signs

#

you're already on a losing path

quasi estuary
#

well how else could you alert the drivers with big trucks heading toward the bridge, BEFORE they hit it???

gentle moss
#

signs

undone berry
#

First solution to a problem should be remove the problem, second solution should be remove the people

#

so yeah, fining them is fine

#

massive fines

sand goblet
#

I wonder if many people got fired for hitting it

gentle moss
#

i don't drive through a give way junction because i "didn't see a sign"

quasi estuary
#

fines wont work. people still speed

gentle moss
#

hopefully everyone

#

that's different to destroying a fucking truck mate

undone berry
#

people don't speed around cameras

gentle moss
#

very different

quasi estuary
#

if you'll ignore signs, you'll ignore fines

gentle moss
#

hahaha

undone berry
#

no you won't

#

I can' see why you think people would listen to a bump, but not a 50k$ fine

quasi estuary
#

fines are cumbersome because you'll have trucks coming in from hundreds of miles away. how will you make the drivers aware of the new laws?

undone berry
#

with a fucking sign

quasi estuary
#

nobody will pay a 50k fine, the insurance will

gentle moss
#

my solution:

  1. large fines for vehicles which hit the bridge. you need to recover costs of damages and scare the companies.
  2. revoke the licenses of the drivers
#

that's not

#

how

quasi estuary
#

they already dont read signs

gentle moss
#

municipal fines

#

work

undone berry
#

if I get a speeding ticket

gentle moss
#

municipal fines can't be paid by insurances

#

an insurer would not pay it

undone berry
#

I don't ring up the insurance company

quasi estuary
#

hmmm

gentle moss
#

you revoke licenses and fine companies who hired them

#

or, generally, owner of the truck

quasi estuary
#

so a sign before the bridge that says if you hit this, 50k fine + license suspended for X days

gentle moss
#

you don't even need to put the fine

#

if people can't read basic road signs

#

they shouldn't be on the fucking road

undone berry
#

My guess is for such a non standard fine, you'd need to warn people about it

vestal briar
#
gentle moss
#

well then, don't treat it as a fine

vestal briar
#

How much money must these bridges have costed in damage

gentle moss
#

make it a civil damages case

#

how are they going to argue "he didn't know how big his truck was"

#

or "he didn't see the sign"

#

when both should be things a responsible driver should know

quasi estuary
#

@vestal briar only repainting and inspection costs I imagine

gentle moss
#

make it civil damages and you can recoup your lawyer costs from them as well

vestal briar
#

To the trucks

gentle moss
#

you shouldn't make exceptions for people who are shit at their job

vestal briar
#

That was 1968

plucky ridge
#

The guy with his hands on his hips. "Whelp, I'm fired."

vestal briar
#

Looks like they have been shit at their jobs for a while now

gentle moss
#

they always are

#

they. always. are.

vestal briar
#

Imagine this bridge being a legend of truck drivers before 11foot8 started

quasi estuary
#

folklore almost

vestal briar
#

Yeah

undone berry
#

yeah, I'm pretty sure at no point in life/your-career are you not regularly encountering people who are shit at their job and just generally thick

#

so you'd expect that from truckers as well

vestal briar
#

"The bridge is so tiny not even a car can fit through" then everyone jumps

#

Wonder what the worst crash has been

quasi estuary
#

a lot of the trucks that crash are Penske. Maybe Penske should tell people before renting the truck about this bridge...

vestal briar
#

Probably the local company

undone berry
#

the person doing the rental stuff isn't gonna be driving it

vestal briar
#

They fire their employees too often for it to become a warning inside the job

quasi estuary
#

i thought these people rented the trucks like u-hauls to do personal moves?

vestal briar
#

Oh is it rental?

quasi estuary
#

idk isn't that what penske does

undone berry
#

It all looks like HGVs

quasi estuary
#

or maybe commercial fleet leasing...

undone berry
#

those aren't rentals

quasi estuary
#

what would they be for?

gentle moss
#

it's large vehicles

#

which, in the UK, would require an extra set of tests to drive

quasi estuary
#

can opener @ 42s

gentle moss
#

the United States is fucking arse backwards on their driving laws

#

watching the same on my big TV

#

:D

#

if you did that shit in the UK

#

you'd have your license for that type of vehicle revoked

#

you'd have to pay a big ass fucking fine

#

and maybe civil damages

#

if it was a professional driver rather than an individual

#

the company might face action

undone berry
#

you'd get driving without due care and attention

#

which is a lot of points

gentle moss
#

minimum

undone berry
#

possibly dangerous driving

#

which is losing your license

gentle moss
#

wreckless endangerment

quasi estuary
#

are those trucks written off, or would that be repaired?

gentle moss
#

written off i'd say

vestal briar
#

Isn't that for potential loss of life?

gentle moss
#

yeah, and there is

quasi estuary
#

box repair = $$$$ or $$, $$$

undone berry
#

Nah, I don't know if they would be written off. I'm pretty sure the actual trailers aren't that expensive

quasi estuary
#

it's just riveted metal right

vestal briar
#

Top of the box won't kill anyone and bridge is designed to withstand it

gentle moss
#

and if you get rear ended when you suddenly stopped?

quasi estuary
#

the bridge doesnt get damaged i think, the bar in front of the bridge is mounted to the ground actually

#

so all the trucks hit the bar, not the bridge

gentle moss
#

WHICH HAD TO BE ADDED

vestal briar
#

That what if could be applied to any car accident in a populated area then?

gentle moss
#

FROM PEOPLE DAMAGING THE BRIDGE

quasi estuary
#

lol

gentle moss
#

yeah but it's not an accident is it though.

quasi estuary
#

doesnt get damaged *anymore

vestal briar
#

Nobody is hitting it on purpose

undone berry
#

you never know

gentle moss
#

if a car accident was caused by someone driving like a fucking idiot

undone berry
#

maybe someone wants an exciting way to retire

#

so decides to get fired

gentle moss
#

and in this context

#

driving like a fucking idiot is not knowing the height of your truck

#

or ignoring signs

#

you're a hazard and a potential risk to life

#

wreckless endangerment could fit

#

i mean we're talking about America here though

#

you can speed and only have to pay fines

#

you might never lose your license for it

#

points system for lyfe boys

vestal briar
#

Is hitting a mcdonals drive "thru" roof reckless endangerment?

gentle moss
#

is it a 50mph road?

#

is it a public space?

quasi estuary
#

it's not a big deal imo. the 11foot8 guy on his site says most people miss it. 2010-19 there's about 1 truck hitting it a month. so im guessing 99.8% of trucks heed the warnings

gentle moss
#

it's a big enough deal people should lose their license

#

imo

#

:P

#

at least to drive that class of vehicle

undone berry
#

I get that truckers probably aren't ever gonna pay that much attention if sat on interstates for hundreds of miles. But if you're driving through a built up area

quasi estuary
#

how many trucks pass by that daily. say 50. monthly thats 1500 monthly. so 1 truck a month is 0.067% of trucks hitting it a month

undone berry
#

you need to know whats going on

gentle moss
#

what's your point?

#

we shouldn't punish the truckers who can't drive?

undone berry
#

if 0.067 cars on the road randomly rammed you

#

you'd be fucked

gentle moss
#

^

quasi estuary
#

but they're hitting a stationary object

#

i say do nothing because it's a non-problem

undone berry
#

which is worse

gentle moss
#

IN TRAFFIC

quasi estuary
#

nobody gets injured right

undone berry
#

If you're the local town

#

you don't want to close the road once a month

#

because of morons

gentle moss
#

shit, what if one person dies?

undone berry
#

and if you're society

#

you don't want morons driving trucks

quasi estuary
#

the only people who pay for this are 1) the bridge owner's insurance, 2) the trucking company's insurance 3) the customer's of the trucking company's insurance

gentle moss
#

insurance doesn't pay for fucking idiots

#

fyi

quasi estuary
#

nobody else is hurt by a few idiots crashing into a bridge

undone berry
#

No one is insuring this fucking bridge

gentle moss
#

^

vestal briar
#

Losing license and job with some fine is probably the normal way

quasi estuary
#

isnt it a train company that owns the bridge? it's insured

gentle moss
#

the insurance company probably made them put up that giant fucking guillotine

undone berry
#

Do you know how insurance works?

vestal briar
#

Hm

quasi estuary
#

if one person dies, raise bridge 8" + introduce fine over $1,000 for each truck that hits it

#

@undone berry elaborate?

vestal briar
#

Why didn't they highten the bridge before

gentle moss
#

that's

undone berry
#

why wait

gentle moss
#

fucking nothing

quasi estuary
#

because it's a non issue so far

#

0.067%

vestal briar
#

The bridge was rebuilt after the 60s but it was still low

gentle moss
#

that's not the way to view this

#

it's a public safety issue

undone berry
#

why on earth would an insurer insure something they know is going to be hit once a month

gentle moss
#

do you really want truck drivers out there who don't pay attention to signs?

quasi estuary
#

if im a taxpayer im not voting for someone who wants to pay $$$,$$$ to raise a bridge at my expense

gentle moss
#

or know the height or width of their vehicle?

#

no, but you fucking revoke licenses

undone berry
#

then you're a moron

vestal briar
#

Are you talking to @quasi estuary (bisk)

quasi estuary
#

@undone berry i guarantee that bridge is insured under the owner of the bridge. it's a part of an active railroad

gentle moss
#

there's literally a railway bridge where this sort of thing has happend like 4 times

undone berry
#

Plan: Raise the bridge, then fine people as though the bridge was lower

gentle moss
#

and they raised the bridge

vestal briar
#

After 90 years

gentle moss
#

or just, you know

vestal briar
gentle moss
#

actually have a license system and punish people for their actions

vestal briar
#

But eh

gentle moss
#

drivers should lose licenses and pay fines

quasi estuary
#

@undone berry i dont like the whatism of that solution but i cant explain what precisely i think is wrong with it

undone berry
#

what whatism

#

there is a problem

vestal briar
#

That's just a vehicle decapitator to get them punished on purpose

gentle moss
#

it doesn't even matter if anyone dies

undone berry
#

people hitting the bridge

#

people will get hurt, people could die

#

is a consequence of that

gentle moss
#

this is clearly a fucking public nuisance

vestal briar
#

Wouldn't that then be the goverment breaking more laws

#

By purposefully not raising the bridge, hence making that potential loss of life in the first place

gentle moss
#

what, the government not raising the bridge so idiots can drive under it?

vestal briar
#

Even if the truck drivers are morons

gentle moss
#

you are responsible for your actions as a driver

quasi estuary
#

how much do we estimate raising it 8" actually cost?

#

why should the taxpayer bear that burden?

gentle moss
#

why does that matter?

undone berry
#

none of us should even try to estimate that

#

because we're not experts

quasi estuary
#

because didnt the g't raise the bridge?

undone berry
#

and if we were experts

#

we wouldn't be experts in that specific bridge

#

and all of those factors determine factors of 10 or more

vestal briar
#

Even if the drivers are morons

gentle moss
#

fine drivers / companies heavily for that act (or take them to court over it) and then revoke the drivers license

vestal briar
#

Goverment should not purposefully make a decapitator

gentle moss
#

because clearly they're not fit to be driving that vehicle

quasi estuary
#

im saying it's not the taxpayers burden to solve this problem. the stakeholders who stand to lose $$$ should have found a solution. my question is why havent they. they = railroad company, truck companies

gentle moss
#

that's like me saying

#

"oh this S-bend is so tight, stupid government"

#

because i crashed and have now died

undone berry
#

the stakeholders don't give a toss

#

this impacts the public

#

the stakeholders can just put a fucking pole down and ignore the problem

gentle moss
#

how much effort is it to clean up afterwards?

#

that seems like a police incident

#

road is closed

vestal briar
#

Goverment wouldn't put spike stips on no-parking zones

gentle moss
#

people have to detour

quasi estuary
#

if im running a trucking company like Penske and 1 truck crashes every 2 months for 10 years, that might have a material impact on my bottom line via insurance rates, claims, lost revenue, etc

vestal briar
#

That would just be a death waiting to happen

quasi estuary
#

i dont know how big Penske is

vestal briar
#

Same as this bridge I guess

undone berry
#

this conversation

#

is so fucking dumb

gentle moss
#

problem is Owez, the UK is semi-rational when it comes to road safety

#

and you've grown up here

undone berry
#

that I don't know why I'm still going

#

goodnight

gentle moss
#

the US is fucking insane

quasi estuary
#

for what bisk

gentle moss
#

driving.

quasi estuary
#

what specifically is thou'st beef

gentle moss
#

no points based system

#

for a start

quasi estuary
#

oh what?!?!?

#

i thought it was

vestal briar
#

Yeah

quasi estuary
#

cananda is

vestal briar
#

US are more "leniant" but that just seems overly-stupid

gentle moss
#

you have to be CONVICTED to get points

#

in the UK they're automatic on an offence

#

and you can appeal

vestal briar
#

Engineers designing it also contributed I guess unless they unsucsessfully pushed at raising

undone berry
#

Ok - ungoodnight, this is a different conversation. The US road layouts are even insane. People are too stupid to know how roundabouts work, so you just have deathtrap massive intersections

quasi estuary
#

hm wait. maybe it's not a big deal. if you crash in the USA with no point system, your insurance rates go up...

gentle moss
#

that's...

#

that's not how it should work.

quasi estuary
#

no roundabouts was a TERRIBLE decision btw

gentle moss
#

"you crashed, pay more."

#

not

quasi estuary
#

well how should it work?

undone berry
#

You can also just not claim on the insurance

vestal briar
#

Hm I have an idea

gentle moss
#

"you crashed, maybe you shouldn't drive"

vestal briar
#

Make people pay for getting basic healthcare!

quasi estuary
#

i dont think thats fair

gentle moss
#

what?!

undone berry
#

Insurance rates don't go up if you don't claim

gentle moss
#

you don't think someone who clearly can't drive

#

shouldn't have their license revoked?

#

so if they're rich they can just pay the insurance difference?

quasi estuary
#

ok bisk say I misjudge an icy intersection and I get in a fender bender. my insurance rates go up because I'll make an insurance claim to fix my bumper. does that mean i shouldnt drive?

vestal briar
#

Sounds like bail for licenses

undone berry
#

yes. That is the exact scenario bisk posed

gentle moss
#

that's competely different. that's not total negligence

undone berry
#

he is saying every accident should result in a total ban

#

if you trip and headbut your car

#

no more driving

gentle moss
#

i'm talking about wilful negligence

quasi estuary
#

bisk your solution is optimal but you'd never be able to draw a clear line between when you should NEVER be able to drive again. what is that line, for every circumstance?

I'd say case-by-case basis

gentle moss
#

look at UK driving law, it's pretty fucking robust on this

vestal briar
#

If the box truck is on a car license and the company did not give proper introduction if it's a rental

quasi estuary
#

ok so in the UK how does it work?

gentle moss
#

wilful disregard for law or negligence will net you a ban

undone berry
#

Yeah, the UK doesn't do many permabans. But gives out 1/1.5/2 year bans quite regularly

gentle moss
#

DEPENDING on severity of problems

quasi estuary
#

so what's running a red light in the UK?

gentle moss
#

sometimes 3 -6 year bans

#

that's 3 points

#

you get 12 points on a license

#

unless you slammed into someone

vestal briar
#

My dad got one of them because of a broken sensor

gentle moss
#

then it might be higher

vestal briar
#

Bugger to appeal apparently

undone berry
#

most things are three points, using the phone is 6.

gentle moss
#

speeding? 3 points.

#

speeding dangerousing?

#

6 - 12 points

#

*dangerously

vestal briar
#

I think seatbelt is a caution then 3-6 on 2nd offence

gentle moss
#

driving a truck you should know the height of into a fucking bridge?

#

that's a HGV license revoked

quasi estuary
#

the point system is just a mickey mouse way of explaining it though. like if points = consequences (fines, driving restrictions, court), the US has all those right?

#

so whats the diff?

vestal briar
#

You can rent a box truck here without a hgv license if we're talking about uk now

undone berry
#

you don't get banned for speeding too often

gentle moss
#

if at all

undone berry
#

you don't get banned for using the phone too often

#

in fact, thats not even illegal over there

gentle moss
#

a CONGRESSMAN has had 13 speeding offences

quasi estuary
#

wait you can get BANNED from driving in the uk for driving while using a phone?!

undone berry
#

I think

quasi estuary
#

insanity

gentle moss
#

and hasn't been banned

#

NO SHIT

#

it's distracted driving

undone berry
#

insanity? Its worse than speeding

gentle moss
#

#

^^^^^^^^^^

quasi estuary
#

can you have your phone mounted to your dash?

gentle moss
#

yes.

undone berry
#

yes

vestal briar
#

I'd hope so

sand goblet
#

Yes but you can't use it

undone berry
#

Police are pretty reasonable about it as well

gentle moss
#

i've been in the US

undone berry
#

although they can be bastards if they choose

gentle moss
#

and i've seen them drive

vestal briar
#

If it's no-hands its fine

gentle moss
#

they're fucking mental

sand goblet
#

Hands free systems are fine, yep

vestal briar
#

Like a glorified satnav

undone berry
#

(Even though driving whilst using hands free has been shown to be just as bad as holding it to your ear)

vestal briar
#

Really?

undone berry
#

Yeah - it makes sense too if you think about it

vestal briar
#

You have 2 hands on the wheel and have full vision

undone berry
#

2 hands on the wheel doesn't make that much difference

quasi estuary
#

the real problem here isn't; driving laws, it's insurance laws. if you are in an accident with someone without insurance, everyone loses.

gentle moss
#

no

undone berry
#

the key issue is being distracted and not giving the road full attentnio

sand goblet
#

It's still a distraction but it's not a visual or physical distraction

gentle moss
#

it's driver awareness

#

and driver education

vestal briar
#

If it's hands free it's the same as just talking with passengers?

gentle moss
#

this is not an insurance problem

undone berry
#

Why do you fetishise insurance companies?

gentle moss
#

you can't solve everything with friggin money

quasi estuary
#

if you think changing driving laws in the USA will change driving behavior, i disagree.

gentle moss
#

i think it fucking will

#

it works everywhere else

undone berry
#

why does the USA assume things that work across the entire world won't work in the US

vestal briar
#

Why do you fetishise the word "fetishise" :p

gentle moss
#

why wouldn't it work there?

#

because america is special?

quasi estuary
#

no, it works because the culture there is ingrained

gentle moss
#

that's why they can't have their guns restricted too.

#

look what that fucking does

#

american exceptionalism

vestal briar

But my freedom!11!

Gun control? Won't work here

fucking dumbest shit ever

wont work in the states

vestal briar
#

Very nice unicode consortium

quasi estuary
#

i agree though stiffer penalties benefit everyone

undone berry
#

Free education? Won't work here

gentle moss
#

probably because they're too fucking thick

quasi estuary
#

e.g. distracted driving ticket is like $400-500 in canada

vestal briar
#

Logical unit system? Won't work here

undone berry
#

eh

#

its better than ours

vestal briar
#

(I know but don't tell them that)

quasi estuary
#

what do you propose for gun control solutions in the USA ?

gentle moss
#

is that $500 and points?

undone berry
#

oh shut the fuck up

vestal briar
#

Also please no duplicate metric vs imperial convosations <3

gentle moss
#

like you do it 4 more times and you get banned?

undone berry
#

the same gun control that works world over

vestal briar
#

We have them like weekly now

gentle moss
#

what piers said

#

the rest of the world does fine

quasi estuary
#

piers and what is that

#

every country is diff

gentle moss
#

uhhhhhhhhhhh

quasi estuary
#

do you abolish 2A?

undone berry
#

Background checks and limitations on what can be bought by whom

quasi estuary
#

i wholly agree

#

USA needs background MEDICAL checks

#

and integrated across states

gentle moss
#

i can't be bothered to get into this but fundamentally the 2A was redefined by a supreme court case in the early 00's

#

which completely changed the definition of it

quasi estuary
#

oh really

gentle moss
#

and that most countries in the world don't have like 2 fucking shootings a day

#

yes. it did.

#

i'll fucking go find it

#

brb.

vestal briar
#

Hm

quasi estuary
#

that's not sarcasm i didnt know that tbh

vestal briar
#

Why aren't air rifles more popular for protection

undone berry
#

because they're shit for protection

gentle moss
#

this changed the definition from "well regulated militia" to individual rights

vestal briar
#

Are guns are usually a deterrent rarther than to shoot someone dead in the US

gentle moss
#

and after that ruling personal ownership of guns (and along with it violence etc) rose massively

#

i have had this conversation far too many times with yanks

undone berry
#

Given that the police regularly shoot innocent people because they might have a gun

#

I'd say they're the opposite of a deterrent

#

the fact they might be present costs lives

gentle moss
#

at this point i feel like a broken record

vestal briar
#

Yeah

gentle moss
#

plus i've got a massive meatball sub on the way

vestal briar
#

But if someone buys a gun

gentle moss
#

bbl.

vestal briar
#

Are they looking to kill/immobilise someone if they intrude

#

Or just as a deterrent

sand goblet
#

Not much of a deterrent is it

undone berry
#

oh - pretty sure the motivation is to shoot

sand goblet
#

Locked in a safe

undone berry
#

like, waving it at someone isn't gonna do much

vestal briar
#

If someone sees a gun in the window, it'll be a little bit of a deterrent surely

sand goblet
#

They won't see it

#

It'll be in a safe

#

Legal requirement

gentle moss
#

still cooking

#

gdude is correct.

#

firearms need to be stored properly in a gunsafe

#

legal requirement

undone berry
#

Do you mean like a gun sticker , or do you mean, an actual physical gun in the window?

vestal briar
#

Let's just say they had a real one out illigally

gentle moss
#

then they're irresponsible gun owners and shouldn't own a gun

sand goblet
#

Yup

vestal briar
#

Resting on a cupboard near an open blind

sand goblet
#

Easy report

undone berry
#

yeah, this is a pretty dumb scenario

vestal briar
#

This is america we are talking about

sand goblet
#

If I can see the gun then I'll just report it

gentle moss
#

yeah, and that's the problem

vestal briar
#

I realise that

gentle moss
#

they think they're special because of a few lines of text that have been reinterpreted to mean WE GODDA HAV RRR GUNS ITS URRR RIGHT U NO

vestal briar
#

Really he just wanted everyone to have some bear arms

gentle moss
#

ONLY FIN CAN STUP A BAD GUY WITH A GUUUUN IS A GUD GUY WIT A GUUUN

#

fucking seen to many dead kids to bother with those arguments

sand goblet
#

Irish laws are interesting

#

We do have stand your ground

#

But you can't kill them

vestal briar
#

Sounds like a nice law unless you loophole

sand goblet
#

It means you can Home Alone it

undone berry
#

As in, if they die you're culpable, or is it only if you set out to kill them?

sand goblet
#

Haha

vestal briar
#

Booby traps?

sand goblet
#

If you kill them, you're culpable

#

Traps or no traps

vestal briar
#

Oh cool

#

So you can impale them if they jump over your fence?

sand goblet
#

Well no

#

But you can break their legs

#

Haha

#

Impaling is a bit too lethal

vestal briar
#

Just make them fall into a pit and have them struggle out for a day

sand goblet
#

You also have to be able to prove that they shouldn't have been there and there was no way they'd have thought they should be

gentle moss
#

unlawful imprisonment probably owez

sand goblet
#

Yeah you can't do that

#

Basically the idea is that you can fight them off of your property

vestal briar
#

What if you don't activly keep them there

quasi estuary
#

in 2017 the USA had 40k gun deaths, 24k of those were suicides so that's 16k non-suicide gun deaths. people get so aggressive about this topic because they think it's so preventable, but more deaths happen because of even MORE EASILY preventable things

vestal briar
#

Just on legal grounds as there was a hole there and you where away whilst they where in it

#

(You being actually unaware they where there)

gentle moss
#

what's more easily preventable than restricting access to fucking guns?

#

lol

undone berry
#

Not that many things lead to children being mass murdered

quasi estuary
#

250,000 people per year in the USA die from preventable medical errors

#

70,000 from drug overdoses

undone berry
#

Children being mass murdered is a lot more egregious than preventable heart disease

vestal briar

Medical errors?

gentle moss
#

yup, i'm out this convo.

vestal briar
#

They happen anywhere

gentle moss
#

peace. o/

sand goblet

Medical errors are gonna happen

But we already knew the US doesn't know what healthcare is

undone berry

For any problem which globally there is a clear solution for, you're dumb for not taking that solution

quasi estuary

what's the clear solution???

undone berry

oh shut the fuck up

ok say you get better background checks

#

that wont stop all of it

vestal briar

Communal health care

sand goblet

Buy back the guns like the other countries have

undone berry

so many obvious limitations that aren't in place

vestal briar

When did UK enforce guns again?

undone berry
#

90s

gentle moss
#

literally one school shooting happened with a handgun in the UK and we fucking banned them

vestal briar
#

Huh

gentle moss
#

1996/7

vestal briar
#

I thought it was 50s or 60s

gentle moss
#

no, that's for rifles / semi-automatic large capacity weapons

undone berry
#

Pretty sure even back then we had much stronger limits

gentle moss
#

and automatic weapons

vestal briar
#

Ah

gentle moss
#

something the US still doesn't do

quasi estuary
#

here's my solution for the USA:

  1. medical background checks integrating medical records across all states
  2. require all firearms trigger locked and ammo stored separately
  3. any negligent behavior results in a 5-year ban
vestal briar
#

What was allowed pre-1996

gentle moss
#

how about...

#

not having the guns

undone berry
#

I go back to what I said before

gentle moss
#

just a thought

undone berry
#

shut the fuck up

quasi estuary
#

australia didnt have 2A though

sand goblet
#

Here are the stats you were trying to quote by the way

gentle moss
#

THEY STILL HAVE GUNS

#

THEY'RE JUST RESTRICTED

quasi estuary
#

oh my god those mass shooting stats are horriffic

#

hwo the hell

gentle moss
#

does the 2A give the right to a semi-automatic large calibre rifle that can hold 30 - 50 rounds?

#

no.

quasi estuary
#
  1. limit clip sizes
gentle moss
#

plus it's an AMENDMENT

#

guess what that means

#

you can AMEND it

sand goblet
#

Oh now I know who you're quoting

  1. get rid of all open-carry laws

just ban the fucking dangerous guns

vestal briar

Yeah

gentle moss

that simple.

undone berry

it is so simple

then edge cases are used to make it seem complex

gentle moss

the only people it's not simple to

is americans

#

for some reason

quasi estuary
#

@sand goblet wait i wasnt off. about 40k gun deaths, 24k suicides, so 16k willful

undone berry

as though the law doesn't deal with millions of edge cases in other areas

vestal briar

What's the uk vs us violent deaths per 100k?

sand goblet

Well, last year's stats aren't out yet

vestal briar

(E.g. weapons)

sand goblet

The suicide numbers have been steadily rising though

quasi estuary

@sand goblet my #'s were 2017 but yeah

I mean I didn't say it was inaccurate

biggest mistake the USA did was that 2000s court case bisk linked

Useful to get the full picture

quasi estuary
#

all firearms NEED to be locked.

#
  1. you can only have a firearm with you if you're going either to or from a range or designated safe shooting area
sand goblet
#

Contrary to popular belief you can get guns here in Ireland, for huntin' or shootin' varmints

#

We have almost no gun crime though

#

You only see them in rural areas really

vestal briar
#

Does UK have to have a reason for air rifles and the sorts?

quasi estuary
#

i bet ireland laws are similar to canada

undone berry
#

In the UK shotguns aren't too difficult to get, but rifles are very hard to get licensed for

vestal briar
#

I know we don't for smaller powered things like airsoft

sand goblet
#

And I've never actually seen one in person

undone berry
#

you can own them at gun ranges I think, but not actually take them away

sand goblet
#

We don't really have gun ranges

undone berry

You can just buy air rifles

Our police force is also unarmed

vestal briar

From what I heard you could do it in private places?

undone berry

do it do what?

@undone berry isnt the knife problem a bigger issue for the UK than gun problems ? i dont understand how they have such a huge amount of knife deaths

vestal briar

Shoot

undone berry

you can yeah

but you won't be able to get ahold of rifles

race you to it

sand goblet
#

Hahaha

quasi estuary
#

if your goal is stopping willfull homicides (about 15k/yr) banning AR's wont change that. most happen with handguns. so do you ban handguns? i say, have trigger lock restrictions, no open carry, and only can use on route to a range or hunting area, and national medical background checks. that solution actually addresses the problem, which is most willful homicides in the USA happen with legally acquired handguns...

vestal briar
#

It does though

undone berry
#

so do you ban handguns? yes

#

obviously

vestal briar
#

Not been many school shootings or stabbings in the uk

Aaaand now he's going back and deleting all of his messages

#

Well then

gentle moss
#

speaking of pentesting. i submitted my self assessment questionnaire for this cyber security super duper or whatever for my company

#

it's mostly yes/no answer questions, with a commet field i assumed was for additional information

#

e.g. "Do you use anti-virus? Yes / No"

plucky ridge
#

cyber security super duper
Please propose to them that they call it that

gentle moss
#

tick yes, in comment "except on Linux servers"

#

but a bit more verbose

#

most of the questions are like

#

"are firewall rules subject to regular review?"

#

"yes."

#

But APPARENTLY I'm meant to fill out EVERY SINGLE COMMENT SECTION

plucky ridge
#

That's got to be unpleasant

gentle moss
#

"Has each open port on the firewall been subject to approval by an authorised business representative and documented?"

#

"Yes / No / No Firewall"

#

that'd be a yes

#

but that's not enough info for them

#

?!?!

sand goblet
#

they want examples I guess

gentle moss
#

but they don't ask for examples

#

it's just "customer comment"

#

i have no comment because it's a yes or no question ffs

#

"For each question a text justification can be submitted in support of the response."

#

doesn't sound like "please justify everything you chose."

plucky ridge
#

Yeah that can makes it seem like it's optional

#

They should have said must

vapid bluff
#

time to call em

gentle moss
#

we used a different company for this thing when we ran another company through it

#

they just had some drop down boxes on a website and then boom submit

#

got a call off the people and explained their reasoning for the questions they had questions about

#

instead this is going to turn into a back and forth email chain because fuck off am i filling out ~70 comment boxes for clearly yes/no questions

plucky ridge
#

Hand written or typed?

gentle moss
#

typed

plucky ridge
#

Small saving grace at least

gentle moss
#

pfft, woman called me the feminine of my name in the email complaining about my response too

frosty berry
#

do you think "yes" would be a fine comment?

gentle moss
#

haha

#

i would rather have them tell me exactly what's wrong with it and where they need more clarification

#

cause i thought i clarified everything that needed to be clarified

#

and coming back to me like "clarify everything please" isn't nice

#

it's mean.

plucky ridge
#

Just call them big stinky meany butts

#

That'll learn 'em

gentle moss
#

"are proxy servers used to provide controlled access to the internet for relevant machines and users?" "Yes, Sometimes, Never"

#

uhhhh, never.

#

am i supposed to justify not using something

plucky ridge
#

"No, because that'd be stupid."

gentle moss
#

some of these questions feel like they're out of the 90's / 00's

Comment: Pee pee poo poo

gentle moss

haha

#

banned from twitter

low shadow
#

Who

gentle moss
#

one of the dumbest questions in here is "are all administrator accounts only used to perform legitimate administrative activities with no access granted to external email or the internet"

#

now, is that systems administrator accounts

#

or does that mean like...

sand goblet
#

Some guy took a photo standing outside of the Twitter HQ with a sign saying "Peepee poopoo" @low shadow

gentle moss
#

you know

sand goblet
#

And twitter beaned him

gentle moss
#

the business type administrator

#

who administrates business

#

because a business administrator with no internet or email is fucking useless

#

and a system administrator with no internet can just switch it back on

undone berry
#

Honestly, your thing sounds so much like my shitty A-Level IT exams a few years ago

#

I feel like the government is just stuck at least 10 years behind

gentle moss
#

dude i just want a shiny badge to put on our website

#

and some shit to brag about

#

but yeah, it's a government initiative

#

rather than being industry driven

plucky ridge
#

"Does your company use "the emails"?"

gentle moss
#

"industry supported"

#

a.k.a. "i think we can cash in on this"

plucky ridge
#

And most governments are behind the times. It's a big ship, and requires a lot of distance before it can finish a turn

gentle moss
#

and then it crashes into an italian island

plucky ridge
#

Well at least they'll be well fed

undone berry
#

Sure. But I feel like the relatively newly formed National Centre For Cyber Security body should be somewhat up to date

plucky ridge
#

HA

gentle moss
#

their standards are great

plucky ridge
#

It's still old white guys

gentle moss
#

but some of their initiatives are bit shit

undone berry
#

Maybe this self assesment thing was just palmed off to the inerns

#

whilst the actual people did real work

#

so the interns were just pulling it out of their arses

gentle moss
#

well this is a 3rd party Info Sec company delivering it

undone berry
#

oh sure
