timelessmy goal is for one of the lines in xenial-security / xenial-updates / xenial to have a score of 50000:26
DocScrutinizer05timeless: sorry, apt illiterate here03:47
sixwheeledbeastapt-cache policy tomcat7? Can see anything obvious but I normally use apt-mark hold foo over pinning.09:34

WikiwideVery nice: https://www.tctmagazine.com/3d-printing-news/nano-dimension-technologies-successfully-prints-pcbs-dragonfly-2020/ Not particularly repairable (unless you happen to have such a 3D printer readily available), but then, replacing a chip isn't particularly easy either way.13:33

timelessDocScrutinizer05: no worries17:17
DocScrutinizer05the adverse effects of using a highly intuitive GUI tool for software-, user-, service- management,21:15
DocScrutinizer05no incentive to learn the cmdline tools21:16
DocScrutinizer05I got no idea about useradd and friends, vim, apt/rpm, systemd...21:17
sixwheeledbeastvim?21:19
sixwheeledbeastsystemd makes zero sense to me anyway21:20
KotCzarnyfun observation, my device lost network today,once21:26
KotCzarnyafter i connected it to computer via usb cable for charging21:27
sicelommm, so skype for web no longer supports FF21:39
sicelonot that it matters too much but, for those odd moments i needed to use skype, this helped. i'm not abou to start using chrom(ium)21:40
DocScrutinizer05sixwheeledbeast: vi(m), as I use true GUI "WYSIWYG" editors, like mcedit, kate, openoffice, even nano22:28
DocScrutinizer05systemd actually makes zero sense to me too. I hardly know how to stop or start a service22:30
sixwheeledbeastI like vi, but I do admit sometimes you can't beat a GUI text editor. gedit (pluma) here, nice features like syntax highlighting help.22:31
sixwheeledbeastI agree. upstart made sense, "stop foo" "start bar". I believe systemd is "systemctl start foo"22:33
sixwheeledbeastAs for making services I have no idea. Something about "units" and targets22:36
DocScrutinizer05that bad thing: literally every time I need a `systemctl stop foo` it takes me 15 to 30 minutes to find out about the systemd command to list the names of valid services to start/stop. and when I'm not instantly certain about the right name from mere looking at it, it takes me another 1 or 2 hours to figure which file and where to look at, to gather some details about what that service named "foo" actually does22:38
DocScrutinizer05no `ls -l /etc/init.d`, no `grep -r "nutmon" /etc/init.d`22:43
sixwheeledbeast"systemctl list-dependencies --all" ? like 25k lines of confusing dependency trees22:45
sixwheeledbeastterminals aren't designed to display this type of tree data.22:47
sixwheeledbeastAs for finding things in journalctl, meh. Bring back tail -f foo file22:49
DocScrutinizer0525k? 37k!!!22:51
DocScrutinizer05ROTFL  *cry*22:52
DocScrutinizer05luckily I still run syslog on my system, so fuck journalctl22:53
sicelodebian, with systemd/journalctl, still has tail -f /var/log/syslog, etc., by default23:18
