@coldandtired I get the "off peak" and the "on peak" option on my storage heaters, In the winter I leave the "cheap" on all night and it keeps my flat warm for the day.
Though I keep my flats as warm (25 degrees) as I used to live in Spain for 4 years.
-
@lucas1 My heating's usually on 24 hours a day, but they're doing some sort of maintenance that day.
-
@coldandtired The storage heater keeps everything warm as is takes until 10-11am to go cold again. and then the whole flat is warm until 11pm again.

@lucas1 My father has a BSA goldwing (built from two broken gold wings) and it is pretty much like this getting the thing to start.
@tufty the reason we own these is because my Uncle used to be hot shit in Motorcycle speed way about 30 years ago.

Funny UK story. In the past if an ambulance came and you didn't need it, you had to pay for it.
My uncle, used to own a Robin Reliant

But they used to be so unsafe they would turn over if they went too fast through a corner.

Someone called an ambulance and unlike Jeremy Clarkson here, My Dad and my his bro just turned it over themselves before the ambulance turned up.
My uncle still drives one of these:

I'm not sure why you think a webserver that sends data down a wire inside a non-public building directly to the computer that's talking to it needs HTTPS. Someone would have to install a malicious device between my computer and my router, and at that point, they have physical access to my router, so whatever certificate is on there doesn't matter.
Plus, every router would have a valid SSL certificate for whatever hostname they're using, so someone could steal the private key for one and would be able to spoof any router from that company.

Someone must have compromised your SSL cert and man-in-the-middled your post.

Status: My laptop died from a dead while on battery because someone unplugged it while I wasn't home.
Considering this thing should last 4 hours minimum while idling like so, how did this happen?!?
I guess I'll never find out if something was keeping it awake.
Huh. Maybe it only lasts 2.5 hours then...

This requires a little backstory: I'm from a large family with a low income, so while I was growing up, we would use a Secret Santa system with a slight twist: we'd have to make something for our secret recipient. It was a great game to keep the gift and recipient secret, but to provide little hints, usually in the form of a pun on the tag.
We're going to visit my folks again for Christmas this year, so we agreed to participate again. I ordered some parts for my gift from Amazon last Saturday, and the first box arrived on Monday. The other box is scheduled to arrive next Tuesday. (Yay, free shipping w/o Prime!)
Status: My Christmas gift is coming along nicely. Although I've never done this before, I'm figuring out ways to make it go faster. I'll probably even have it finished by Christmas!

I had a fun time updating my graphics driver today. Installer led to black screen and hung system, restarting just led to infinispinner dots. Long story short, I had to use device manager in safe mode to uninstall the botched install, after which everything installed normally. But hey, now I can watch 4k video at 60fps "on supported Google™ Chrome web browsers", apparently. Anyone know where these other Google Chrome web browsers are that I'm not already using?
-
@lucas1 Yeah. Really, though, that probably applies to any first-world country outside of the USA.... Our service is absolutely awful compared to pretty much everywhere.

Is that like those "Firefox for Yahoo!" trojans where you think you're installing Firefox but you're actually setting your homepage to Yahoo!?
-
@Tsaukpaetra said in The Official Status Thread:
Ask me that on my fscking phone, retards!
Hm, I could see the reasoning in asking you on the desktop. When you're accessing on the phone, you're likely on the road and not feel like doing an app install right then. When you're back on your desktop, you probably have your phone with you and on wifi.

Those are not trojans! They are legitimate pieces of software. That's what PCDefender© Pro™ by Systematics tells me!

Gold wing is a Honda bike. Do you mean Gold Star or Golden Flash?

Robin Reliant
Reliant Robin, unless you also talk about Focus Fords.
And they aren't anywhere near as easy to roll as that Top Gear made them out to be. My dad's driven various Reliant models for 30 years and never done it. You can't take tight corners at silly speeds but as long as you're not a terrible driver it's fine. People in the know reckon they put weights in the front to destabilise it for comedy value

Status: I've been using Git for 2 years day in and day out, and still can't remember what's the command for rolling back all non-added changes but leaving the added changes intact.
-
@Gąska said in The Official Status Thread:
and still can't remember what's the command for rolling back all non-added changes but leaving the added changes intact
from the output of
git status
:(use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
GFit actually loves reminding you of that one. :-)
-
@accalia that's the one I DON'T want to use.
Turns out the solution is
git checkout .
, which is very different fromgit checkout
and only half-mentioned ingit status
output (it says to writegit status <file>
, and nowhere it's stated that it also works for directories). To add to confusion,git checkout <branch>
andgit checkout <file>
have totally different effect despite having the same syntax. Yay usability!

@Gąska said in The Official Status Thread:

oooooooh. you want to discard changes you have added to the index and preserve ones you havent.
yeah checkout is what you want.
@Gąska said in The Official Status Thread:

well..... if you squint at it right they do the same thing. they checkout an object.... it's just that it lets you checkout a workspace (branch) and a file.......
is still stupid interface, but you can see how torvalds could weasel his way out of it.

@accalia said in The Official Status Thread:

No. I want to discard changes I HAVEN'T added and preserve ones I HAVE.
git reset
is for unstaging, ie. removing changes that are already added.@accalia said in The Official Status Thread:

Kinda like a hamburger and gasoline are similar - they both have lots of carbon and hydrogen.
@Arantor said in The Official Status Thread:

Sounds like you haven't done this several dozen times already. Are you new to Git?
-
@Gąska I haven't done this very often because the workflow I got everyone here to do rarely causes merge conflicts, let alone bad stuff.
Detached head in this case was to fix someone trying to fix a merge conflict and it ending poorly.

Status: Recovered my electronic drumset which had been on extended loan to friends in another state for years because I didn't have space for them, but now I do have space. The cymbal didn't work anymore. I was all set to see how difficult it is to get replacement parts for a discontinued product from Roland when I finally took the cymbal apart and saw a simple broken wire. Hey, that is something I can fix myself!

@mott555 fix yourself? Don't you know it'll void your warranty and kill your dog? What are you? Some kind of commie?

meh. either way git checkout was the one you needed.
though i personally would have gone
git branch fuck-git git checkout fuck-git git commit -m'preserve changes in fuck-git' git checkout orig-branch git stash git stash drop git merge fuck-git
is a lot less elegant i'll admit, but if i get into that situation there are usually a ficking ton of changes i want to get rid of and i don't want to manually checke each and every one out to reset.

Personally, I just use an IDE when dealing with git. I can't do everything, but I can avoid learning the git syntax…
-
@dkf I like command line
git
for one reason and one reason only: with the right package installed, I can invokegit up
-
@RaceProUK You need
git going
andgit gone
too. ;)

@dkf said in The Official Status Thread:

until your IDE messes something up and youre git repo goes all bonkers and you need to fix it.
-
@accalia this has not happened to us via SourceTree.
Every time our repo has fucked up, it was someone with a command line tool. Especially but I didn't have to fix his messes, I had people to fix them for me. This time it needed me to fix it though.
-
@Arantor said in The Official Status Thread:

The only times I've had problems with the IDE approach have been when I've done something unwise with a
git reset
despite the warning dialogs.

@dkf What about
git on up
?
