I made something usefull :D [url]http://nnmm.nl/[/url] [quote]NAME: nnmm - nnmm stands for nothing DESCRIPTION: Just post any data to this server and it'll give you a "paste" link. EXAMPLES Python: pasteurl = urllib2.urlopen("http://nnmm.nl/", pastedata).read() Bash <command> | curl -d @- [url]http://nnmm.nl[/url] SOURCE: Source code can be found at [url]http://nnmm.nl/s.php[/url] [/quote]

Could somone tell me how to make a subdomain on my VPS? Right now all my sites are in sites-available/default. My main domain is just pointed to the VPS's IP and the domain isnt actually in any of apache2s configuration files. Would it work if I made a virtual host at 127.0.0.7 and then in the hosts file did 127.0.0.7 wiki.whatever.com? Any ideas? Im lost :c

[QUOTE=Mega1mpact;43204589]I made something usefull :D [url]http://nnmm.nl/[/url][/QUOTE] What's the lifetime of the data on the server?

My Windows desktop mic was out, but I wanted to use Skype. Solution? Linux Mint on a laptop: [code]nc -l 2389 | sox --type s16 --rate 44100 --channels 1 --endian little - \ -t waveaudio "Line 1 (Virtual Audio Cable)"[/code] on the Cygwin desktop and [code]arecord -f S16_LE -r 44100 -c 1 | nc 192.168.2.2 2345[/code] on the laptop.

I never realized it was going to be a pain in the ass just to update my NVIDIA drivers on Linux, goes to show im more use to Windows then Linux.

[QUOTE=mastersrp;43205825]What's the lifetime of the data on the server?[/QUOTE] infinite. as long as I own the server and have access to the database.

I am having trouble setting up a cross compiling environment for my Raspberry Pi. My goal is to eventually be able to compile Rubinius, but so far I can barely make it compile a "Hello, world!" program :( So far I have downloaded the official toolchain from [url]https://github.com/raspberrypi/tools[/url] and copied everything in /lib /usr from my raspberry to my desktop under ~/raspberrypi/. Is there a way, to make the desktop use the raspberry gcc/g++ and libs, when I do a ./configure and make? All examples I can find, seems to assume you are only going to compile stuff, by invoking gcc directly.

[QUOTE=Naelstrom;43207893]What distribution are you using? Driver updates should be managed by your package manager just like any other update.[/QUOTE] i am using Ubuntu 12.04 and the package manager had nothing for my drivers...

[QUOTE=robotman5;43215192]i am using Ubuntu 12.04 and the package manager had nothing for my drivers...[/QUOTE] If you are using the proprietary drivers you can find the latest tested stable ones in the application called "Additional Drivers". The downside with those is that they often lags behind the newest version from Nvidia, if you want the newest you need to download them from Nvidias site manually. The drivers from "Additional Drivers" should keep themselves updated automaticly through the update manager when enabled

[QUOTE=robotman5;43215192]i am using Ubuntu 12.04 and the package manager had nothing for my drivers...[/QUOTE] Ubuntu is weird and has a program named [url=https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jockey]"jockey"[/url] to upgrade and change proprietary drivers. Just open Jockey and select what drivers you want, make sure you system is up to date first though.

[QUOTE=nikomo;43214026]Micro$oft's crapware[/QUOTE] This is honestly why Linux communities never really work out for me. There is this obsession with the fact that Microsoft exists and only exist murder children etc etc.

Ahh 319 drivers so for those to work i just click activate? and the ones i am on right now are 304. so would it be best to turn the 319 drivers on?

[QUOTE=benjojo;43216968]This is honestly why Linux communities never really work out for me.

Bashing happens in pretty much all technical communities; PC vs console, Windows vs OSX, vim vs emacs, NVIDIA vs AMD, etc. If you want to use MS software, go ahead. You do what works for you.

[QUOTE=benjojo;43216968]This is honestly why Linux communities never really work out for me. There is this obsession with the fact that Microsoft exists and only exist murder children etc etc.[/QUOTE] As much as it pains me to say that I agree with them, Microsoft isn't exactly a bed of roses.

Maybe you're only paying attention to the minority.

[QUOTE=benjojo;43216968]This is honestly why Linux communities never really work out for me.

You don't lose that reputation easily. Its only natural that some OSX/Linux users will bash MS, since that's entirely [i]why[/i] they went to their respective OS. Using a dollar sign has been played though. Soooo played. Not really clever anymore.

[editline]18th December 2013[/editline] for the record SIP is a pain in the fucking ass, and don't even start on how ekiga.net accounts are easy to setup.

Fedora 20 is out. I want to reinstall because I managed to fuck up my fedora 19 install over time on my laptop (desktop seems to be fine). I for some reason (myabe beacause I'm craaaazzzzyyy) want to install manjaro or arch or something. Mainly because the aur has a ton more stuff in it. What should I do :/

(When lets face it, Oracle exists still, and they are a hell of a lot more evil than MS)

[QUOTE=IpHa;43217553]Might be faster to just compile it on the pi.[/QUOTE] I am afraid that is not an option, since the Pi runs out of memory when compiling LLVM. Plus it would take forever. How does a "configure" script know where to look for libraries? Does it assume everything vill be in /lib and /usr? Or does it look at a environtment variable like PATH?

Every time he talked about the "Amazon Swindle" or the "iBad" I wanted him to explode like Mr. Creosote or choke on his beard hair or something.
