| schestowitz | MinceR: what's btmp for? | Jul 18 18:45 |
| schestowitz | what's the "b"? | Jul 18 18:45 |
| schestowitz | A long-term solution to space issues on a server is required as clearing up yum cache only provides temporary remedy. I was about to compress some spurious files. It is not so obvious, however, what could be compress to yield much free space. In /var/tmp and its sub-directories there are not many large log files, except btmp (and the subdris below), which is also not so large and was last updated several hours ago. | Jul 18 18:45 |
| schestowitz | Is anything there safely compressible? btmp does what exactly? | Jul 18 18:46 |

| schestowitz | Hehe. Well, usually this rule of thumb is applied to the rich | Jul 18 19:26 |
| schestowitz | Hi, _Goblin | Jul 18 19:27 |
| _Goblin | hi | Jul 18 19:28 |
| schestowitz | Have you seen my post about techbytes, our show that has turned 9 months? | Jul 18 19:53 |
| schestowitz | I think we prepard it around end of October | Jul 18 19:53 |
| schestowitz | *prepared | Jul 18 19:53 |
| schestowitz | BTW | Jul 18 19:53 |
| _Goblin | no not yet....just got back home and digesting the plethora of sillyness in cola | Jul 18 19:53 |
| schestowitz | Seems like the Microsoft booster is subverting the IRC channel now | Jul 18 19:53 |
| _Goblin | who? | Jul 18 19:54 |
| schestowitz | Turning it into a FUD ground for Mono, WP7 and other such BS | Jul 18 19:54 |
| _Goblin | ah | Jul 18 19:54 |
| _Goblin | yes.... | Jul 18 19:54 |
| schestowitz | I don't know if I should fuel this... only turns into discussion that distracts | Jul 18 19:54 |
| schestowitz | I don't understand why he spends so much tiem monitoring a channel he does not agree with | Jul 18 19:54 |
| _Goblin | I'd ban him. | Jul 18 19:55 |
| _Goblin | probably have done it many days ago if I could actually work out who he is supposed to be. | Jul 18 19:56 |
| schestowitz | no, keep him around | Jul 18 19:59 |
| schestowitz | I link to it later in blog posts | Jul 18 19:59 |
| schestowitz | To show that the Microsoft boosters are trying to confront us | Jul 18 19:59 |
| _Goblin | yeah....I was blowing hot air..... | Jul 18 20:02 |
| schestowitz | D youm know daily kos? | Jul 18 20:17 |
| schestowitz | It's a political site | Jul 18 20:18 |
| schestowitz | My friend chris einfeldt interviewed its creaor | Jul 18 20:18 |
| schestowitz | very influential site | Jul 18 20:18 |
| schestowitz | And Kos made a point that stuck with me | Jul 18 20:18 |
| schestowitz | He said that they were ignoring or getting rid of the abusive Bush fans | Jul 18 20:18 |
| schestowitz | FDaily Kos is a dem site | Jul 18 20:18 |
| schestowitz | And it was trolled heavily | Jul 18 20:18 |
| schestowitz | He said that to keep the site on track they had to get rid of certain debate | Jul 18 20:19 |
| schestowitz | the debate over the basic | Jul 18 20:19 |
| schestowitz | the debate over the basics | Jul 18 20:19 |
| schestowitz | I.e. things that repeats endlessly | Jul 18 20:19 |
| schestowitz | they can assume Bush is an embarrassment\ | Jul 18 20:19 |
| schestowitz | And now debate this in the comment | Jul 18 20:19 |
| schestowitz | For similar reason I try not to cover in techrighs or forums like COLA: | Jul 18 20:20 |
| schestowitz | `1. old FUD about linux | Jul 18 20:20 |
| schestowitz | e.g. fonts ugly, linux doesn't support hardware, yada yada | Jul 18 20:20 |
| schestowitz | It's like having a rerun of old FUD | Jul 18 20:20 |
| schestowitz | total aste of time | Jul 18 20:20 |
| schestowitz | can be resolved by dropping a lin | Jul 18 20:20 |
| schestowitz | 2. personal insults | Jul 18 20:20 |
| schestowitz | waste of time, again, sometimes trolls do that deliberate to derail useful discussion | Jul 18 20:20 |
| schestowitz | 3. rifts | Jul 18 20:20 |
| schestowitz | trolls try to make these up when they don't exist | Jul 18 20:21 |
| schestowitz | And accentuate those that do exist | Jul 18 20:21 |
| schestowitz | it drives lurkers away | Jul 18 20:21 |
| schestowitz | And it also derails discussion about the issues, e.g. lawsuits over android | Jul 18 20:21 |
| schestowitz | Then there's that flood of Android "malware" FUD | Jul 18 20:21 |
| schestowitz | It's a non-issue | Jul 18 20:21 |
| schestowitz | But they tire the advocates by having them talk about a non-issue (see (1)) | Jul 18 20:22 |
| schestowitz | and on it goes | Jul 18 20:22 |
| schestowitz | So in openbytes and techrights we really need to | Jul 18 20:22 |
| schestowitz | 1) review new distros | Jul 18 20:22 |
| schestowitz | in COLA I try to post stuff that gives exposure to stuff for use | Jul 18 20:22 |
| schestowitz | Not stuff to avoid | Jul 18 20:22 |
| schestowitz | the windows posts are becoming outdated because windows is fighting yesterday's battle | Jul 18 20:23 |
| schestowitz | over desktop | Jul 18 20:23 |
| schestowitz | we need to remind trols, tablets, phones, tablets, phones... | Jul 18 20:23 |
| schestowitz | to shift them to where it hurts... | Jul 18 20:23 |
| schestowitz | and then to cover patent issues, trolls and their pR tactics... | Jul 18 20:23 |
| schestowitz | It's natually also going to get you more attention | Jul 18 20:23 |
| schestowitz | because it hits the trolls in the right spot, the Achilles Heel | Jul 18 20:24 |
| schestowitz | if I spent time just fighting junk claims like "Linux is hard", I would call it quits | Jul 18 20:24 |
| schestowitz | Cause there are better things I could do like write code, publish papers, reviews/score papers | Jul 18 20:24 |
| schestowitz | I'd give Florian credit for one thing | Jul 18 20:24 |
| schestowitz | He knows where the real battle is | Jul 18 20:24 |
| schestowitz | And he hammers hard on it | Jul 18 20:25 |
| schestowitz | But he lobbies for Microsoft interests | Jul 18 20:25 |
| schestowitz | He's not on our side, he's there looking out for himself, having apparently failed to form much of a career | Jul 18 20:25 |
| schestowitz | A age 41 all he can say he did in recent years is lobby for cash and not much fame | Jul 18 20:25 |
| schestowitz | So now he spams many journos, hoping they'd print his name | Jul 18 20:26 |
| MinceR | schestowitz: i don't know what btmp is, i've never seen it, only utmp and wtmp | Jul 18 20:57 |
| schestowitz | [21:25] <sebsebseb> anyway Google+ is hype | Jul 18 21:37 |
| schestowitz | :-)[21:20] <DrPizza> I don't really have any use for G+ | Jul 18 21:37 |

| sebsebseb | not here | Jul 18 21:37 |
| schestowitz | I know | Jul 18 21:39 |
| schestowitz | I don't want to spend time arguing with the Microsoft booster | Jul 18 21:39 |

| schestowitz | I was hoping that old binaries exist which can perform fast marching even with an out-of-data implementation | Jul 18 22:41 |
| MinceR | they target on winblows code that's supposed to run on a server? | Jul 18 22:41 |
| schestowitz | I am unable to find one, I also checked shared folders to see if others have any such binary | Jul 18 22:41 |

| schestowitz | So they store on the server something it cannot run | Jul 18 22:49 |
| schestowitz | But I think I know who's to blame | Jul 18 22:49 |
| schestowitz | I'm tired of rewriting Windows-ised code | Jul 18 22:50 |
| schestowitz | Eventually I found just one user who, for whatever reason, had the build I was looking for (about 1 in a hundred). So I can now run the program just fine, even without making use of anything I spent doing beforehand. | Jul 18 22:56 |
