[06:54:57] <Bytram> here's another handy URL: https://routersecurity.org
[06:48:55] <Bytram> =)
[06:48:52] <Bytram> going back to that windows URL I pasted here; just tried putting "windows 10" in the search field and it came up with oodles of stuff
[06:33:25] <Bytram> okay, is late and need food. afk
[06:33:08] <Bender> karma - htmltidy: 1
[06:33:08] <Bytram> htmltidy++
[06:33:04] <Bytram> also
[06:33:01] <Bytram> granted, a large proportion of them are glue to invoke AWK scripts where the real work gets done; but there's often a pipeline of cmds that take raw data and do some sed / tail / etc. commands to take an initial hack at reducing the data to be processed.
[06:31:26] <Bytram> there are easily a few hundred more scattered about in task-specific dirs.
[06:30:59] <Bytram> quick check of my _primary_ utility dir shows more than 840 .bat files
[06:30:02] <Bytram> eg. the period after the ECHO gives a *blank* line (no spaces or other white space)
[06:29:27] <chromas> Maybe there's a COMMAND.COM for linux
[06:29:14] <Bytram> ECHO.
[06:29:04] <Bytram> 'cept I have used darn near every .bat trick there is; many of which are not generally known. Reliable, but unknown.
[06:28:47] <chromas> Nah, make it convert itself as a test
[06:28:34] <Bytram> write a *bash* program to covert batch files to bash files
[06:28:07] <Bender> karma - printers: -1
[06:28:07] <chromas> printers--
[06:28:02] <Bytram> mostly just output a control string to the printer port
[06:27:44] <chromas> Write a batch file to convert batch files to bash files
[06:27:35] <Bytram> was a util to set up an HP printer to use "tiny" type
[06:26:54] <chromas> Or is that secret?
[06:26:51] <chromas> What's it do?
[06:26:46] <chromas> Although, some time around last year, Arch's dependency checking suddenly became slow. Still no days of waiting
[06:26:42] <Bytram> my oldest .bat file dates to 1992
[06:26:14] <chromas> Which is weird. They don't even have that many updates. Like a few thousand maybe. I have that every time I update Linux
[06:25:31] <chromas> I only use win for games now though. Since I don't have any enterprise software or anything
[06:25:20] <Bytram> that was an old problem; had *cough* non-optimal dependency graph generation with huge wasted-time steps in inner-most loop
[06:24:52] <chromas> But manually installing an update or two fixes it
[06:24:24] <chromas> I've only had the problem on 7 though. Some certain combination of updates causes it to take hours or days to figure out what updates it needs, using up GB of RAM and all the cpu
[06:23:14] <Bytram> hmmm
[06:23:03] <Bytram> I *suspect* that it is NOT win7 specific
[06:22:37] <Bytram> nod nod
[06:22:19] <chromas> That'd come in handy if I put 7 on something and ran into the infinity updates
[06:21:59] <chromas> oh neat, and it has the download links
[06:21:19] <exec> └─ 13Microsoft Update Catalog
[06:21:15] <upstart> ^ 03Microsoft Update Catalog
[06:21:14] <Bytram> https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com
[06:21:08] <Bytram> for future reference, this is a *really* handy URL:
[06:20:23] <Bytram> hence the selective KB installs
[06:20:11] <Bytram> yes, I saw
[06:20:03] <Bytram> I'd love to, but I've got decades of stuff written for windows, so would need separate box to run in parallel, and I don't want an Intel Spectre/Meltdown/etc. vulnerable chip, but I want a lappy, and AMD offerings aren't quite there yet.

[06:18:46] * chromas gives Bytram Systemd/Linux
[06:18:38] <Bytram> I wasn't going to give them any more chance than I absolutely had to
[06:18:15] <Bytram> after the (*##% they pulled with win10 upgrade
[06:18:09] * chromas cough
[06:18:05] <chromas> I do have win10 though
[06:17:46] <Bytram> I don't think I even allow it to check automatically.
[06:17:11] <Bytram> manually download.
[06:16:55] <Bytram> manually install.
[06:16:50] <Bytram> selectively request.
[06:16:42] * Bytram has things locked down as tightly as possible -- I don't let things do stuff w/o my explicit say-so
[06:16:05] <chromas> Never got the usual "scheduled reboot" message
[06:15:46] <chromas> Last time I had updates in Windows, it updated and rebooted while I was out walking. Came back to Linux running
[06:15:02] <Bytram> nope
[06:14:57] <chromas> You're running Windows and it hasn't already rebooted for you?
[06:14:45] <Bytram> I had just reboot a couple days ago, too.
[06:14:26] * Bytram just installed a security update and now needs to reboot his PC for the updates to take effect.
[06:14:04] <Bytram> oh, goody.
[06:13:45] * Bytram wants to go to the fair
[06:13:27] <chromas> Fair use
[06:13:21] <chromas> The NFL makes that claim too
[06:13:15] <Bytram> why not?
[06:13:02] <chromas> That's not a real thing they can do
[06:12:50] <Bytram> other sites often just say "Copyright (c) yyyy"
[06:12:28] <Bytram> understood, but in this particular case, they expressly denies *any* use without written authorization.
[06:11:17] <chromas> Bytram: sure but at least 89% of the stuff we repost is copyrighted (since it's copyrighted by default, at least in the US)
