-I have not spoken with this person in years
00:40

-I don't have Python listed anywhere

-I am coming up with any excuse I can to not even touch the language
00:41

What languages/problem domains do you usually work in?

We should see about commandeering a bunch more television networks worldwide to do a planetary synchronised screening, see how they cope with _that_.
04:11
<&McMartin>
I wonder how much more effective that would be than just commandeering them all in Japan.
04:13
< RichyB>
Maybe not at all if it helps them to geographically partition the workload.
04:13
< RichyB>
OTOH maybe they were already sending those ~140k messages to nodes all over the place anyway.
04:17
<&McMartin>
Yeah, I imagine that if there's a seven second delay in getting 140k tweets from Japan to Tangiers nobody's going to be much the wiser.

Anyone know how to change the default way screenshots work in Gnome 3 (Debian)? I want to make the active window screenshot default, instead of the entire screen.
09:17
< Syka>
uh
09:17
< Syka>
AnnoDomini: I don't think you can do that?
09:18
< Syka>
AnnoDomini: press alt-printscreen instead
09:18
< Syka>
that captures the current window
09:18
< Syka>
shift-printscreen will let you select an area
09:19
< Syka>
i think control-printscreen copies the entire screen to your clipboard
09:19
< AnnoDomini>
I'm doing that. This interferes with the application I'm screenshotting.
09:20
< Syka>
oh
09:20

php is compiled with ldap and ssl, openssl and openldap are installed, yet ldap_connect("ldaps://server.foo") fails, while ldap_connect("ldap://server.foo") works... even though the ldaps should work

You're expecting consistency and sanity from PHP?

What's ldap_error returning?
16:33
< ErikMesoy>
Funny thing is, when you tell me the error messages are useless, I wonder what sort of useless. Are they gibberish, are they content-free, are they complaining about a surface problem, or are they concerning the wrong section?

> It bears repeating (and the examples should probably be updated) that ldap_connect() doesn't actually test the connection to the specified ldap server. This is important if you're trying to build failover into your ldap-based authentication routine.
16:38
< Xon>
> The only way to test the connection is to actually call ldap_bind( $ds, $username, $password ). But if that fails, is it because you have the wrong username/password or is it because the connection is down? As far as I can see there isn't any way to tell.
16:38
<@TheWatcher>
yep
16:38
< Xon>
that is the insanity I expect from php
16:39

does php have read permisions to the CA file? (and potentially not write permisions)
16:39
< Xon>
(or whatever is hosting php)
16:40
<@TheWatcher>
Ah, there we go

cos apparently it throws can not connect errors if it can't access the CA file O_o

"Error, self signed vertificate in certificate challenge"
16:41

so what did it take to get the actual error msg out of it?

Suppse you wander into a small subforum for a non-commercial micro-RPG (think RPG Maker) where the original creator has vanished without a trace, but the community has kept the project alive with mods and patches since then.
20:08
< ErikMesoy>
You're registered on the forum this year, the creator vanished several years ago, and you claim to have received rights to the project from the original creator, and demand that everyone should check with you before doing anything more. You provide neither evidence for this claim, not contributions of your own.
