[QUOTE=Little Donny;48237132]wasn't any of it synced to steam cloud?[/QUOTE] KSP doesn't sync its saves to cloud, which is a very good idea in my opinion, and KSP also have its own screenshot utility that is better than steam, and for other screenshots I don't sync them because of upload bandwidth limitations

My phone just auto corrected gentoo to centos. I approve of your preferences Google, but let me type what I want.

[QUOTE=Levelog;48231890]Get a job with a bunch of borderline alcoholic nerds.[/QUOTE] Are you a sysadmin? infosec? devop? do you work with QA? [editline]21st July 2015[/editline] at least make sure you can install a fully libre fork of firefox and make rms.sexy the homepage

[QUOTE=Mega1mpact;48258790]at least make sure you can install a fully libre fork of firefox and make rms.sexy the homepage[/QUOTE] That should be the default homepage on Debian Iceweasel

[QUOTE=Mega1mpact;48258790]Are you a sysadmin? infosec? devop? do you work with QA? [editline]21st July 2015[/editline] at least make sure you can install a fully libre fork of firefox and make rms.sexy the homepage[/QUOTE] None of the above, network engineer.

[QUOTE=Mega1mpact;48258790]at least make sure you can install a fully libre fork of firefox and make rms.sexy the homepage[/QUOTE] what isn't libre about firefox? besides the name anyway

Random idea: Make disks other than your internal drives (so usb sticks etc) writable by regular users so you won't have to fear of missing a key and fucking up your files. [editline]23rd July 2015[/editline] Also I finally fucked up my arch installation after one year and four months. Let's see if I can rescue it.

And I did it! ..Hopefully. What I did was basically the same as chmodding everything (except /home) to 775 (or 755, idk) and chrooting it all to root:root (which is already the case for like 99% of the files) since I copied my entire root partition without preserving attributes. Reinstalled everything through pacman, manually handled some cases, restored permissions on directories using shell magic, aaand everything appears to work again. Yay! [editline]23rd July 2015[/editline] Everything so I could finally upgrade android-sdk easily through yaourt and it still doesn't want to do that ;-;

it's nearly impossible to do any work on my server from thailand. I have a >1000ms ping to my server. I remember there being an ssh alternative, what was it called again It didn't wait for feedback from the server etc. This took me 15 minutes with my netbook doing a hard lock-up and the fucking lag... [url]https://rms.sexy/punchface.html[/url] [editline]24th July 2015[/editline] My server has been crippled for the past 3 weeks, can't do shit about it because the lagg is too great and my netbook does too many hard lockups. I got nginx, mysql, irc bots, *some* cronjobs (except chanstat) and my message queue running again. There is still a ton of stuff that needs reconfiguring. For example nginx and mysql only have the default/basic setup running. It sucks so fucking much :suicide:

mosh

[QUOTE=nikomo;48284078]mosh[/QUOTE] If only the default daemon could do this, without requiring an additional daemon.

mosh has its own disadvantages, but a mode in OpenSSH to replicate what mosh does, would be nice. Then again, why would you do that, when we have mosh? No point reimplementing that.

any idea what causes this? [IMG]http://pred.me/pics/1437767755.png[/IMG] the mice works as intended, though it delays the boot time significantly. I had the same issue with my keyboard as well (K95 RGB) but I was able to solve it by downloading the unofficial drivers for it. no idea what I could do about my mice though as it doesn't have a unofficial driver

[QUOTE=nikomo;48285185]mosh has its own disadvantages, but a mode in OpenSSH to replicate what mosh does, would be nice. Then again, why would you do that, when we have mosh? No point reimplementing that.[/QUOTE] Why have it in mosh, when it could be switched on instead of requiring additional software? I mean arguments on both sides, so yeah. But then, there's also downsides to using SSH through UDP.

[QUOTE=mastersrp;48285857]Why have it in mosh, when it could be switched on instead of requiring additional software? I mean arguments on both sides, so yeah. But then, there's also downsides to using SSH through UDP.[/QUOTE] I haven't checked, but I imagine mosh works with any SSH implementation? Not really worth the trouble integrating it into the OpenSSH code - I don't really see any benefit beyond "installing takes a couple commands less". Plus, Unix philosophy: implementing a protocol that isn't SSH isn't the job of an SSH server or client.

mosh doesn't use SSH, it uses state-synchronization protocol (SSP). Completely different protocols. mosh uses your SSH client (typically OpenSSH) to connect to the server, and bring up a mosh session, after which the mosh client connects to that session.

mosh also does not have the same crypto guarantees as SSH does, For some that is a issue, I guess if you are just using it for IRC and stuff that does not matter though. (Plus it can't do agent forwarding or anything nice that SSH + Channelling can do)

[QUOTE=galimatias;48291983]Nice rip off of [URL]https://www.spotify.com/uk/[/URL] They really need to hire a designer[/QUOTE] Nice spot. It's nearly 1:1. Also, I'm not being funny but who is actually going to use it? I'd be surprised if anyone actually uses Ubuntu Phone in the up and coming years, never mind whatever this is.

[QUOTE=Amiga OS;48291990]Oh KDE has designers, I just think that they are all blind.[/QUOTE] To be fair, this doesn't seem like an official KDE project. I don't like KDE either, but I don't think they'd stoop to something like this. I just think it's funny. They're concerned enough about design to copy a decent looking website, but not enough to change the horrible Oxygen icons, or to use spellcheck at all.

Why not just skip town and straight up use telnet?

I have no idea what your argument is.

[QUOTE=nikomo;48296601]I have no idea what your argument is.[/QUOTE] If it doesn't use the same cryptographic elements as SSH, and thus is less secure, what would then be the point?

[QUOTE=Amiga OS;48291634][url]http://plasma-mobile.org/[/url] I can't stop vomiting blood.[/QUOTE] I actually kind of liked it :( I think they've got quite a lot down for just being a prototype.

[QUOTE=mastersrp;48297140]If it doesn't use the same cryptographic elements as SSH, and thus is less secure, what would then be the point?[/QUOTE] "Why use HTTPS when clients still support RC4" is basically what you are saying here, Slightly degraded security is better than zero security. It's all about threat modelling and figuring out what you are trying to protect and what you win and loose out of using something.

[QUOTE=benjojo;48297342]"Why use HTTPS when clients still support RC4" is basically what you are saying here, Slightly degraded security is better than zero security. It's all about threat modelling and figuring out what you are trying to protect and what you win and loose out of using something.[/QUOTE] No, that's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is that it seems mosh is often advertised as being this no-loss mobile-connection-friendly SSH client, which is not at all the case in reality. If it doesn't support the SSH cryptographic transport methods, then you're trading (unknowingly) degraded security for a better end-user experience. This is never a good idea. Slightly degraded security isn't better than zero security, if the slighlty degraded security can be somewhat easily broken.
