@lost frigate thats lucid dreaming, but dreams are the brain doing random things

this is totally just dick waving from the administration because a bunch of K-Pop fans made them look like idiots on their campaign relaunch

Im not informed on the whole thing but its because of kpop fans? Do they not realise South Korea is not China lmao
gentle moss
long and short: they tried to hold a rally and it seemed like there was loads of interest (some people in the campaign said up to a million) then claimed they sold out the venue (19,000 people) but only 6,000 people showed up.
apparently kids on tiktok and kpop fans had been using zipcodes to register tickets with no intention of showing up

@unreal gale Pretty sure South Korea is in a manufacturing real estate deal with China.
Everyone's in bed with everyone, so it would seem.
Not that we should let that discourage efforts to buy with thought to whose death and misery we're subsidising with our purchases.
Or what decimations of ecology we're encouraging.
There are costs greater than the financial and they come due.
Think on that the next time you think "Yeah, but it's cheap. I can't afford the more expensive option."
Because you make up for it with the blood and freedom of yourself and others and the health of the ecology, which is our life support system. We fuck with that at our peril.

A minor excersise in paradox. Such uselessness provides a subject of mockery, which, if that is considered a use, causes it to not be useless.
So you could, at best, mock it for being mostly useless and for it being described useless when it is, in fact, not.
For the aforementioned reason.

I downloaded skype because my client wanted to use it. Now when I open my computer it pops up and runs in the background. I turned it off from start up and somehow it stills comes back after every time. When I try to force it to close from task manager it just appears back. Is it like a virus??
dapper jasper
im not 100% sure how to close skype but im assuming its like discord
theres a little arrow thing in the task bar at the left
click it and right click skype
polar vigil
No it's not like discord
plucky ridge
Tera you might have to tell it to not load on startup within Skype itself

Skype is a little virus-like unfortunately

thats not found
sand goblet
exactly
rough sapphire
the case im asking about is if they HAVE a profile but it's private
rough sapphire
well yea
sand goblet
if a user has a private profile, they may not want people to know they have a profile at all
sand goblet
roughly half of dealing with status codes is thinking about considerations like this
sand goblet
you'd return the same error you would for not found
rough sapphire
hm oki
so then i should at least let the client know "User not found or profile is private" should i not?

Depends on the context really

So here's the situation: I am running a 5e pre written book for 3 players that are currently 3rd level. They are about to go to a "dungeon," but on their way to the "dungeon" there is an abandoned village. Three miles south of the village is a shrine that contains 10 orcs and 2 ogres. One of the orcs is on a tower and can spot any characters that approach the shrine at day. If the characters aproach at night, they won't get spotted. How am I supposed to balance this encounter? While the players are meant to play strategically, they are new to d&d and I'm afraid they will bum rush the shrine unless if I tell them the dangers of doing so.
small fossil
what level are they?
small fossil
Fudge dice aha
I think in order to not make it obvious that you're turning it down Is to hurt them but balance the damage
If it's too easy they won't get stratigic but if you hit them hard at the start they might re consider their attack strategy

Welcome to linux
ok so like
is this saying it's doing cpu render
or its using the iGPU
cuz i swear intel integrated supports opencl
Probabvly CPU
Start a render and see how many squares you see
4
If it's more than one, it's CPU
oh
so like
(Unless you have multiple GPU's)
well i just have an integrated gpu
and so blender isnt even using that?
It's likely not a big difference between your CPU and integrated GPU
Cycles runs surprisingly great on CPU's
well i mean if blender is trying to render (gpu) and animate (cpu) at the same time there is
and ye
i miss the blender game engine tho.. like

You can image a drive using a linux liveusb and terminal commands. There are a few dedicated boot images you can use for it, too. PING, for one. Partimage Is Not Ghost.
rough sapphire
Here's what he did but I don't know where he stored the files I haven't finished it yet It bored me
Yoi said liveusb what's that?🤔
soft violet
You stick it into the computer, tell the hardware to boot from it, boom.
Lets you run an OS without installing it.
Linux Mint images, for example, are lives.
Many are install environments
blazing spoke
Ubuntu, KDE Neon, Manjaro, Mint, Kubuntu and Xubuntu are all live
lime helm
dont know where to ask this but are there any json discord servers? Cant find any
soft violet
Of the lives, installing can then be done from live
blazing spoke
@lime helm I don't know of any, what's the problem
I guess a lot of dev discord servers can answer JSON questions
lime helm
well, how do i change a value in a json file? When i try it it just adds a whole new section. @blazing spoke
rough sapphire
@soft violet does live environment needs wifi to install the image?
lime helm
This is what i mean by section "355798336655065089": { "Fizz#7517": 1000 python yes
soft violet
@rough sapphire Aha. Now, that might be tricky.
rough sapphire
@lime helm
You get more help @ #python-discussion
soft violet
@rough sapphire I take it the laptop's only network capbility is through wifi?
blazing spoke
You don't need wifi to install an image
lime helm
Isnt that only for python tho'?
blazing spoke
@lime helm That is python
rough sapphire
I mean if the system is not connecting to wifi
lime helm
Yeah, but its also json.
rough sapphire
😂
soft violet
@rough sapphire Network connectivity is not always mandatory.
@rough sapphire But you want it at some point, if not during install
rough sapphire
The beauty of the system
blazing spoke
@rough sapphire You need internet to download the image ISO, then you can install that on a thumb drive, you don't need internet to install an image from the thumb drive to the device
rough sapphire
@soft violet I'll stick to using usb to store "snapshot"?
soft violet
@rough sapphire If you can fit it on there.
rough sapphire
how big is it?
rough sapphire
lemme check
blazing spoke
Most fit on a 4GB USB drive
rough sapphire
wait only gb?
rough sapphire
I thought it would be like 16 gb or more 😂
soft violet
Are we talking backing up a laptop image or fitting the liveimage on the usb?
rough sapphire
Fitting
blazing spoke
I am talking about the live image
blazing spoke
But with 4GB you really can't install a lot of other software on it (if you plan on using it from the live image)
For backing up, you will need something bigger
soft violet
So you download the install image/iso and "burn" it to your usb stick. Or you can use unetbootin if you are attached to the filesystem.
rough sapphire
so what's the best way?
Fit the whole "Liveimage/snapshot in a usb"
or
@rough sapphire You need internet to download the image ISO, then you can install that on a thumb drive, you don't need internet to install an image from the thumb drive to the device
@blazing spoke
blazing spoke
What no, that is the same thing
rough sapphire
Fudge the confusion 😂
blazing spoke
Liveimage in a usb is downloading the ISO image
soft violet
I'll shut up. Too many cooks.
blazing spoke
Lol
For a better experience you would want to install the operating system on the device
rough sapphire
🧠 = dead
blazing spoke
What's confusing you?
rough sapphire
Of what's its really called
blazing spoke
It is called a live image
rough sapphire
Live Image is the...,
blazing spoke
Operating system which you run on a flash drive
The ISO image is the OS which you download in order to create a live image
rough sapphire
Live Image == OS?
blazing spoke
Yes
It is a live image of the OS
So you plug the usb in, then you use the OS without installing it
rough sapphire
What about when the os is working and you using it now then you suddenly pull the usb what will happen? @blazing spoke
gentle moss
a "live image" or "live cd" is a copy of the operating system that can run from a removable media device (cd, dvd, usb stick) and only touches memory
blazing spoke
Well you crash the os, so anything that you didn't save goes away, but that doesn't cause damage to your laptop
gentle moss
and tbh, i've yanked a linux live CD and it's still run
rough sapphire
Ohh so I have to copy the OS before unplugging it?
gentle moss
knoppix used to run entirely in memory
gentle moss
you can get persistent data on live images now
blazing spoke
For dual booting you want to install the os
gentle moss
like say you live boot ubuntu
and write some code
if you save that to the live image's partitions
it's persistent
this only applies to USB sticks
blazing spoke
^
gentle moss
obviously not CD's or DVD's
rough sapphire
Usb (copy file to->) System
then install it now unplug the usb and it works!!???
gentle moss
sorry, i feel like i might've butted in a bit and am not fully aware of the situation
what are you trying to achieve?
blazing spoke
Dual booting, I think
rough sapphire
Here....
gentle moss
if you want to TRY linux without risking fucking something up
using a USB stick to create a live image is probably a good way
blazing spoke
^
gentle moss
using a piece of software like Rufus and an ISO image of Ubuntu, you can create a bootable USB stick for Ubuntu
soft violet
@gentle moss Imaging a pristine drive, first.
blazing spoke
Ok I gtg
soft violet
For CYA purposes.
gentle moss
man, windows 10's fucking bootloader is a mega dickhead
i hate it and it puts me off creating a dual boot.
blazing spoke
A windows image gets everything as it was quickly
rough sapphire
I want to make backup of window os (in a usb) then install Kali Linux then delete window os ...
If memory corrupts and formats Laptop
I got window os (in a usb) to use the Window Os to get my laptop good as new software..
1st get Window Os file put in usb then go
2nd install linux
3rd be happy cause you got window os backup and now kick out window os bye bye
gentle moss
- don't install kali on hardware, that's not what it's for.
- you can use something like clonezilla to create a pure disk image of your windows install
- don't install kali on hardware, that's not what it's for.
soft violet
I keep telling them.
blazing spoke
Why do you want Kali?
rough sapphire
I won't install Kali on hardware
blazing spoke
If you want kali on a usb stick then you got nothing to worry about
gentle moss
i don't think you understand that phrase.
"on hardware" means installing it straight to disk
rather than running it in a virtual environment
if you want to use Kali you can do that from within windows by using virtualisation
something like Oracle's VirtualBox can run Kali as a "guest operating system" on top of windows
anyone who's using Kali is actually using Kali this way because Kali is a toolbox and not a "daily driver" operating system.
blazing spoke
Isn't it ok to use kali off a flash drive?
rough sapphire
My Orig Task is
Replace Window Os with Kali Linux
because of The useful info @gentle moss gave 😄 I got it now
gentle moss
usb boot kali is a thing too
but you shouldn't really need to
well, don't replace Windows with Kali is my most basic advice
blazing spoke
Try something more complete
rough sapphire
@gentle moss in the virtual box does my apps appear there as well?🤔
blazing spoke
Like Ubuntu
gentle moss
not to sound unkind, but you're obviously a bit inexperienced with these things and it's best to take it step by step
VirtualBox creates an entirely virtual environment that runs another OS
with all the tools of that OS
while you can still use the host OS
rough sapphire
Yes 😄
Just preparing for when I get my laptop
gentle moss
i run Ubuntu in a virtual machine on this laptop, which is Windows, so i can do Linux stuff without having to give up windows.
rough sapphire
But in the virtual box will your files appear there as well?
gentle moss
no, it's an isolated environment
rough sapphire
Knowledge +3!
gentle moss
unless you intentionally create a file bridge between Windows and Linux
which VirtualBox lets you do, but it's not a total novice level thing to setup
i highly recommend going and doing some reading
perhaps google something like "running Ubuntu in virtualbox"
and "sharing files between virtualbox and windows"
or something like that
rough sapphire
ok thanks...
gentle moss
no probs. 👌
rough sapphire
So now I'll just have to make a Window Os backup
not installing Linux or something
soft violet
A good plan.
rough sapphire
then use virtual box to use Kali Linux for programming or cyber security
gentle moss
yes
rough sapphire
DAMN KNOWLEDGE!!!!
gentle moss
wouldn't even need to backup windows doing that either
because you're not at risk of breaking your windows install with that method
soft violet
I still would image it if it was new new.
gentle moss
eh, i guess i'm in the minority
rough sapphire
just incase I broke my mom's mac software cause of os or somethings which made my heart amidst explode
gentle moss
i've got access to microsoft reseller panels and shit
any ISO / license i want baaaayyybeeeee
which i clearly only use for professional use in relation to the organisation i work for...
rough sapphire
@soft violet is it possible to use a Liveimage of a new laptop to an old laptop of the different kind?
so just making a old laptop go new 🧠
gentle moss
oh shit yeah you'd need to do a disk clone for that and it might not even work how you'd imagine
windows installed on laptop A if imaged / cloned to laptop B may not function properly
due to differences in hardware
rough sapphire
oof
gentle moss
that's a whole other ballpark of doing something. i wasn't aware you were trying to clone old -> new
there's this whole process called sysprep and oh my god i fucking hate it
and i do that shit as a job
rough sapphire
Wait!!!! too much for my smol brain 😂
gentle moss
you're better off just copying your actual files, installing all the programs again, etc, etc
rather than trying to clone the old laptop
rough sapphire
just a question
how did they made a programming language if there wasn't originally one? 🤔
soft violet
@rough sapphire Bad idea.
gentle moss
man, even then it can be a crapshoot.
we used to bulk buy Dell Optiplex machines and had one default image setup to blast onto them
but tiny hardware revisions or shit would mean once every now and then the machine just wouldn't take the image
rough sapphire
oh no....
gentle moss
just gonna have to bite the bullet my man
rough sapphire
||change topic jutsu||
@gentle moss was it virtual box?
gentle moss
yes
copy all your personal files to a USB stick, write down a list of all your installed programs, if your programs let you export settings (chrome, firefox) then export them and stick them on the USB stick, etc, etc
rough sapphire
I'll guess i have to find where to download it

Compiling Haskell, purescript or rust is horrible

Imagine building things yourself instead of using pre-compiled binaries
cries in trying to build ghci on a RPI
topaz aurora
If only hie came with pre-compiled binaries for Windows
viral panther
Just one of many reasons why programming on Windows is terrible
topaz aurora
Still easier to get Haskell running in Windows compared to Arch 🤷♂️
Seriously though how do you work with GHC on Arch
topaz aurora
I tried installing with ghcup last time
Turns out the swapfile couldn't take it or something about the cache being too low
topaz aurora
I was on a VM with like, 1.5GBs of RAM and a 2GB swapfile
viral panther
Sounds like an RPI. Were you emulating a RISC processor as well?
topaz aurora
Nope
viral panther
BTW, can someone explain something to me?
Why are people so afraid of ascending?
Printing in Haskell is simply print "Message"
topaz aurora
I think it's because it already dwells with the IO monad
viral panther
Prelude> return "?" >>= print . ("So what" <>)
"So what?"```and imo how the IO monad is presented either through layers upon layers of analogies or just a rundown of the runtime can make or break future understanding of monads
topaz aurora
Hopefully the second build doesn't take longer than 2h22m

How are you guys gonna decide to group people together?
Say someone completed the basic requirements but their top_words function had a complexity of like O((52!)^n) or something... or maybe that was fine but their advanced requirements were done terribly. Would you guys even notice? Or is finishing the requirements all that's necessary?
Also, do you guys have any stats on the number of people who've completed the intermediate and advanced requirements as opposed to how many have entered?
bleak lintel
@viral panther finishing the qualifier is enough. we look a tiny bit into the qualified code but don't have the time to review all the submissions
we probably will have the stats but right now we haven't run any of the qualifiers
when we close the form we'll start running the qualifiers and figuring that stuff out

Havent played for a while myself but my brother is super into it
topaz aurora
I mostly play Sound Voltex actually since the nearest IIDX cab is far away from my place
marble sentinel
Funny thing, my brother actually bought a IIDX machine off a friend. Its in our garage, he’s playing rn lol
Sound voltex 3 was great, 4 I didn’t play much and I don’t think I’ve even touched 5.
You could always try KSM and buy a little virgoo or rainbow brand controller
topaz aurora
Still saving up for one though, those things get pretty expensive
marble sentinel
Totally.
Are you saving for the cheapest available controller? The virgoo controller works flawlessly most of the time, and it's pretty budget-friendly, considering how expensive controllers in general can get.
topaz aurora
I'm actually considering a DIY controller as well given shipping
marble sentinel
That’s pretty doable as well! I’ve seen homebrew shoebox controllers before lol

@rough sapphire coming back to the argparse processing thing from yesterday i found i was getting a HTTP 200 but what was happening was the value inside the lambda function was being passed as the string. Basically Class().method(value).
I've since realised that the example on the docs show the nesting of a stored __call__ function sum which is outside of the value`
print(args.accumulate(args.integers))
I've been able to replicate the example code but not the lambda.
plucky ridge
@gentle moss I might have to enlist your help with the localhost sever thing, if I may. Turns out that the on-premises versions of Office (so all the ones denoted by a year) make an OPTIONS request instead of only GET requests and I have no clue how to manage it
gentle moss
oh, huh
nginx?
an options request, iirc, just specifies what is expected from a get
plucky ridge
Right but I have no idea how to form it
gentle moss
ahhh
in nginx you can use an if statement and a request_method check
then specify what to return
plucky ridge
Mkay. I'll poke around and if I get stuck again I'll give you a holla
I was originally using Rust's Rocket framework
Which did fine, but there's no easy explanation on how to do things other then GET or POST
gentle moss
if ($request_method = OPTIONS) {
<specify a bunch of header stuff i don't remember>
return 200;
}```for a location block
*inside a location block
plucky ridge
Actually yeah, that was another thing that confused me slightly. Is it simply the config file and the executable?
gentle moss
preeetttty much
plucky ridge
Or the routing file, whatever it's called
I feel dumb having to ask all this super basic stuff. I wasn't able to grasp much from the docs
gentle moss
the docs aren't the best
