[01:22:55] -!- boru has quit [Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by boru`!~boru@pqwj-26-925-915-499.dynamic.mnet-online.de))]

[01:35:19] -!- lld has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds]
[02:12:06] <halibut_> boru: Neat sed command earlier. However, I notice it fails on empty lines and when the pattern is on lines that are not terminated with a backslash.
[02:12:33] <halibut_> FatPhil: I know I am really late to the party, but I wanted to try submitting a sed command. This is modified from an example in the GNU sed man page (probably GNU sed specific):
[02:12:55] <halibut_> sed -ne ':s;$!{/\\$/{s/\\\n$//;N;bs}};/pattern/p;'
[02:13:12] <halibut_> You can also recombine the lines with this modification:
[02:13:20] <halibut_> sed -ne ':s;$!{/\\$/{N;bs}};s/\\\n//g;/print/p;'
[02:13:59] <halibut_> (Replace ``pattern'' in the first one with the desired pattern, and replace ``print'' in the second one with the desired pattern.)
[02:14:24] <halibut_> These have the added benefit of assembling the entire line even if the pattern occurs on the second or third line of a group of backslash-terminated lines.
[02:14:28] halibut_ is now known as halibut
[02:15:17] <halibut> Just my two cents worth ... also I could not resist such a horrific-looking line consisting mostly of punctuation that actually does something.
[02:17:04] <halibut> (Correction: This is modified from an example in the GNU sed info page, not man page.)

[08:30:45] <Runaway1956> Ya know - I haven't installed very many Windows Servers, but I'm thinking that after 3 hours, it should have progressed beyond "getting files ready for installation".
[08:31:27] <Runaway1956> Maybe I configured the VM wrong?
[08:31:57] <Runaway1956> Ahhhh, there it is, in network settings. I shouldn't have clicked the "sneakernet" option.
[08:32:50] <Runaway1956> Looking at the back of the machine, there's a like of pissants, each carrying two bits of data into the server.

[08:33:13] <SedBot> <Runaway1956> Looking at the back of the machine, there's a line of pissants, each carrying two bits of data into the server.
[08:33:58] <chromas> What's the server for?
[08:34:11] <Runaway1956> For fun and entertainment
[08:34:26] <chromas> I might set up a windows box forlocal ip cam dvr
[08:34:35] <Runaway1956> I don't need a server, I just downloaded Windows Server 2022 to see what I can do with it
[08:34:40] <chromas> ah
[08:35:42] <Runaway1956> It's possible that it doesn't want to install on a Linux machine.
[08:35:52] <Runaway1956> Virtual machine is OK if not run by Linux
[08:36:38] <Runaway1956> On second thought, maybe it's alright with Linux, as long as Linux is running Systemd?
[08:37:09] <Runaway1956> I'll come back to this tomorrow, and see if it's cooked long enough.
[08:39:37] <chromas> don't need to restart it after changing the network settings?
[08:41:05] <janrinok> he has just downloaded Windows Server 2022 to 'see what he can do with it", and the answer appears to be 'not very much'...
[08:41:51] <Runaway1956> Touche, janrinok
[08:41:57] <janrinok> lol
[08:44:41] <janrinok> have you not got a spare box that you can try a clean install on? That way you will at least know whether it is a VM config setting that is wrong, or whether the server OS is looking for something in particular.
[08:46:04] <janrinok> doesn't matter if it runs like molasses, it will still provide useful info
[08:49:42] <janrinok> Damn, WinServer 2022 needs 60Gb minimum for an installation! What the hell is it doing with all of that disk space?
[08:50:36] <chromas> Consooming
[08:50:37] <janrinok> Sorry, that is 'Recommended Size' - I still own some hard drives that are smaller than that
[08:50:52] <Runaway1956> Nahhh, don't have any spare physical machines sitting around
[08:51:59] * Runaway1956 can probably locate some hard disks smaller than a gig
[08:52:24] <chromas> 1.21 jiggabytes
[08:53:15] <janrinok> Well, I've still got some working 5 1/4" floppy drives here but I would have to dust them off to use them.
[08:53:30] <Runaway1956> Oh-oh - you'er getting into racissssss territory with jiggabytes

[08:56:00] <Runaway1956> A quick search tells me that I should choose VHD as the disk type - and I chose VDI -
[08:56:15] <Runaway1956> In encrypted the drive - the guide I found didn't
[08:57:22] <janrinok> oh, windows won't like that. How can they steal your data if you encrypt the drive when it is not in use?!
[08:57:41] <Runaway1956> Mehhh - I'm gonna take a nap, and see if it's done when I wake up
[08:57:48] <Runaway1956> if not I'll start over
[08:57:56] <janrinok> OK rip van winkle

[16:42:53] <Runaway1956> Well then - Server 2022 finished installing itself. So, I feed it a password for admin account, then try to log in. So far, it's been about 10 minutes, waiting for user profile service to give me access.

[16:43:26] <Runaway1956> It's looking like I'll delete this machine, and start all over, AFTER reading some more guides on how to do it.
[16:44:09] <janrinok> there is nothing worse than being ignored by your own computer.....
[16:44:11] <Bytram> Ready! Shoot! Aim!
[16:44:29] <Bytram> ;)
[16:44:35] <Runaway1956> coffee++ I'm not even awake yet
[16:44:35] <Bender> karma - coffee: 5586
[16:44:59] <Bytram> Quite frankly, it's how I learned a LOT of programming!
[16:45:44] <janrinok> lol - it's how lots of learned, but we prefer not to have to admit it...
[16:46:01] <janrinok> s/lots of/lots of us/
[16:46:02] <SedBot> <janrinok> lol - it's how lots of us learned, but we prefer not to have to admit it...
[16:46:33] <Bytram> aka Trial and Error!
[16:47:43] <Bytram> Hypothesize, Test, Learn... repeat!
[16:50:37] <Runaway1956> Huh. I walk into the kitchen to pour a cup, and there are sacks of groceries on the counter
[16:50:56] <Runaway1956> It appears that one of the boys bought a bunch of stuff
[16:52:11] <Runaway1956> I'll probably get in trouble for putting it all away, I'll find out later that those were my own groceries that they were robbing for a camping trip or something
[16:57:58] <Bytram> LOL!!!
[16:58:37] <Bytram> Were they just sitting loose or in bags? (That might be a sign)
[17:00:53] <Runaway1956> Oh, they were in bags, but that's no stretch, because Dear Wife saves her shopping bags to use for trash bags and whatnot
[17:01:13] <Runaway1956> so all they had to do was grab 4 bags from the closet, and start filling them
[17:02:59] <Bytram> left no sign indicating their plans? I suspect they may do things differently the next time. If it was, indeed, them. ;)

[17:04:46] <Runaway1956> The source of those groceries will come out in conversation soon
[17:04:54] <Bytram> LOL!
[18:08:14] <Runaway1956> Oh - I completely missed the Willard Scott story Bytram
[18:08:30] <Runaway1956> He was a part of my morning for years
[18:33:34] -!- MasteroftheUniverse [MasteroftheUniverse!~Master@69.57.nmp.ny] has joined #soylent
[18:33:40] <Bytram> just posted the link; not germane to the site, but I suspected somebody else would like to know. Sorry to be the bearer of sad news!
[18:34:36] <MasteroftheUniverse> Huh - Server 2022 FINALLY let me into the desktop
[18:34:59] <MasteroftheUniverse> It pretty much feels like any other Windows prior to Windows 8
[18:35:29] <MasteroftheUniverse> I don't see all the Microsoft spying crap embedded into Win8 or Win10/11
[18:35:53] <requerdanos> Out of curiosity, what does server 2022 serve?
[18:36:08] <MasteroftheUniverse> assigning server roles now, including WSUS
[18:36:12] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Internet Shutdowns by Governments Have ‘Proliferated at a Truly Alarming Pace’ - https://sylnt.us - stifle-opposition-quash-free-speech-and-muzzle-expression
[18:36:13] <Bytram> BACON?
[18:36:43] <MasteroftheUniverse> In a few minutes it will serve Windows Updates to any machines I configure to update from here
[18:36:57] <requerdanos> so it's kind of a meta thing
[18:37:24] <MasteroftheUniverse> Well - it's a server. Want to serve a website from here? Just do it.
[18:37:50] <MasteroftheUniverse> Active directory, DNS server, whatever
[18:39:09] <Bytram> So, like Win 7 Pro?
[18:39:27] <MasteroftheUniverse> That was a pretty horrible installation experience, but now that I'm finally in, it seems pretty good, for Windows
[18:39:32] <janrinok> lol - you know how to make a man hurt
[18:40:28] <MasteroftheUniverse> Yeah, TBH, it feels a lot like Win 7 Pro
[18:41:19] <MasteroftheUniverse> I may have to do Anytime Upgrade on Dear Wife's computer so I can use Group Policy on it
[18:41:28] <MasteroftheUniverse> I don't even know if Anytime works anymore
[18:41:47] <MasteroftheUniverse> probly have to hack it somehow
[18:43:45] <Bytram> So, sounds like they went through a bunch of UI changes (for those who were paying for maintenance so they actually got something for their money) so they could clean up underlying coding bugs, and eventually came back to where they started?!~
[18:45:26] <MasteroftheUniverse> I'm not familiar with Server 2019 or Server 2016 - You might say that this kinda feels like Server 2003 with a Win10 GUI
[18:45:47] <MasteroftheUniverse> Kinda
[18:47:57] * Bytram can procrastinate no more. Ambles off to have breakfast.
[18:48:18] <MasteroftheUniverse> Bring back some biscuits and gravy?
[18:52:17] <MasteroftheUniverse> Huh - no Windows Solittaire
[18:53:02] <chromas> What would you do for a klondike card?
[19:00:27] <MasteroftheUniverse> ahhh-HA! I followed a couple links, and learned that the Microsoft Store isn't accessible
[19:00:45] <chromas> finally some good news!
[19:00:49] <MasteroftheUniverse> Meaning, that bit of spyware isn't even installed
[19:07:43] <MasteroftheUniverse> Win11 Win Version 21H2 (OS Buile 2200.176)
[19:07:43] <MasteroftheUniverse> Server 2022 Version 21H2 (OS Build 20348.169)
[19:16:29] <MasteroftheUniverse> The waiting game resumes - WSUS is connecting to Microsoft servers, and it goes on and on and on . . .
[19:16:37] <MasteroftheUniverse> Time to do something different
[19:17:31] <Runaway1956> You could make more coffee while you wait
[19:17:55] <MasteroftheUniverse> coffee++
[19:17:55] <Bender> karma - coffee: 5587
[19:22:45] <chromas> Runaway's turning into aristarchus before our very terminals!

[22:29:25] <chromas> no scissoring :'(
[22:31:30] <Runaway1956> In a rational society, government would have given a survival knife to all honest citizens, so they could defend themselves against knife wielding terrorists.
[22:32:02] <Runaway1956> I bet they didn't take any knives away from terrorists, or terroristic bikies, or common criminals.
[22:32:05] <requerdanos> yeah but where's a government going to find honest citizens? I don't know many
[22:32:23] <chromas> from the comments, "This reminds me post 9/11. I had to buy an uncut whole pizza at the airport because TSA had come around to the pizza vendors and took their pizza cutters."
[22:32:25] <Runaway1956> I knew one once, but she died of old age.
