| 00:31 | <&McMartin> | This is a fun story/cautionary tale. http://asheron.wikia.com/wiki/Wi_Flag |

| 01:07 | <~Vornicus> | Man. |
| 01:12 | <&[R]> | Interesting |
| 01:12 | | * [R] wonders if one could game having the wi-flag |
| 01:13 | <&[R]> | IE: "Hey guys, I have the wi-flag, who wants to dungeon with me?" |
| 01:15 | <&ToxicFrog> | [R]: what do you mean by "bootscripts" here? Runs in the initrd? |
| 01:18 | <&[R]> | The code that sysvinit will be calling to help boot the system up |
| 01:19 | <&ToxicFrog> | So, init scripts, for installation in /etc/rcX.d/? |
| 01:19 | <&[R]> | That and the code between initd and those. |
| 01:19 | <&ToxicFrog> | Traditionally those are written in shell, and there are -- at least on Linux -- some widely available shell libraries to make writing them slightly less hideously painful. |
| 01:21 | <&ToxicFrog> | "the code between init and those" here is the stuff invoked via /etc/inittab that handles finding and running all the appropriate rcX.d/* scripts? |
| 01:22 | <&[R]> | Right |
| 01:23 | | * [R] is working on his own personal distro, could just continue to use the old arch scripts (which is what is currently in use) but figgured that doing his own might be an educational project. |
| 01:24 | <&ToxicFrog> | In principle I see no reason why you could write those in python, or any other language that lets you shebang and can spawn external processes |
| 01:24 | <&ToxicFrog> | But if you're using sysVinit, you might as well dehumanize yourself and face to bloodshed and use sh or bash for the full experience :D |
| 01:24 | <&[R]> | Oh yeah, it's totally possible |
| 01:25 | | * [R] is using sysvinit merely because that's what he found |
| 01:26 | <&[R]> | Not interested in systemd (or anything Pottering has touched) due to Pottering's software having annoying edge cases that I inevitably hit. |
| 01:54 | < Mahal> | I'm trying to make life easier for my Helpdesk, or, well, trying to make it harder for them to break things |
| 01:55 | < Mahal> | ... this means that I've spent a couple of hours writing Powershell scripts that they can execute as one-liners, instead of them GUI-ing their way through things. |
| 01:55 | < Mahal> | I'm not actually sure what's worse. |
| 02:34 | <&[R]> | Depends how competant of a batch you have |
| 02:39 | < Mahal> | Mixed, sadly |
| 02:39 | < Mahal> | Some don't know the difference between their arses and earholes |
| 02:44 | <&[R]> | That must result in very annoyed janitors |
| 03:05 | < Mahal> | can't decide if I've written a script or an abomination |
| 03:05 | < Mahal> | on the other hand |
| 03:06 | < Mahal> | .\migrate_single_user_to_o365.ps1 "Username" "Countrycode" |
| 03:08 | <~Vornicus> | It doesn't appear to be broken. What's it do with a bad username or countrycode? |
| 03:09 | < Mahal> | spits out a fuckload of errors and doesn't do useful things. |
| 03:09 | < Mahal> | I'm Ok with that. |
| 03:09 | <~Vornicus> | Fuckloads of errors works. |
| 03:09 | < Mahal> | yep. |
| 03:09 | < Mahal> | the commandlets I'm feeding the username / country code to are quite happy to go FUCK YOU THAT'S NOT VALID for me, so I'm not worrying about error checking myself. |
| 03:10 | < Mahal> | (owershell.) |
