Essentially.. It's a Loren Ipsum

Hmm.. Beer that's been in the car in -5c.. Nice & cold..

I wonder if cider will go that cold without freezing. I suppose if beer does...

Depends on the beer/cider, I'd think

It should..

Avatharian macmule: https://twitter.com/foigus/status/5380831074384...

The stout did not freeze, nor did the cider

Avatharian: cider fan then?

macmule: yeah. Never acquired a taste for beer, or alcohol in general really. It's gotta be something sweet. A Major character flaw in IT, I know.

Avatharian: more common than you think.

Nah, there's cider fans. At least at PSU there were

If I get to PSU, I'll bring some scrumpy

I like a good crisp cider, green apples.

woah, is that like Apple Moonshine?

macmule: Good luck getting that through--considering for grahamgilbert it was an achievement to get _cans_ through to the US.

foigus: I brought 8 cans over for rhammen.. It'll just go in the case.

I've done bottles. Bottles are easier tbh, the pressure the cans are under worries me in a plan hold

grahamgilbert: Nah, cans should be good--the baggage hold should be pressurized to 3000' like the cabin

Or else the cans of Coke in the cabin would go pop

Avatharian: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrumpy

Think of the animals that go in the hold as well.

Yea did some reading before hand.. Pressurised cabin, but still double bagged it.

Heh... Colleague sent me a link about the new stuff in Outlook 2015 from office for Mac help.. Replied with "I know" & a selfie of me & William Smith...

(micdrop)

frogor: samdm meant to post this earlier: http://asalor.blogspot.ca/2011/08/trim-dm-crypt...

macmule: You take selfies with Mac luminaries?

Well, that's a new one; A clipboard sharing app I was trying to use crashes when your user Avatar in Users & Groups is set to certain pictures...

MagerValp: around?

macmule: I haven't heard of scrumpy since some shadowrun sourcebook

foigus: He collared me

http://mvp.microsoft.com/en-us/MVP/William%20M.... That picture...

mmmm

this stew is tasty.

lol Avatharian, it screams "yes I'll hold"

heh, that's an oddly poor picture of him

foigus: we should have taken our pictures with him while we were standing around

The one of him kissing a rubber chicken probably captures him best

can you REALLY not change the user a device is assigned to in AirWatch?

macmule: Meant it in regards to what? TRIM being hurtful?

you should script your bot frogor

if anyone says "TRIM" it just shouts at them

lol

For AutoDMG, if I'm trying to dodge issues with 10.10.1 + CS/CC + Office = pain, how can I convince AutoDMG to accept 10.10.0? It considers that a "Deprecated Installer"

frogor: just found in interesting... Not sure if true with FV2

foigus: change the autoupdate profile

Allister: sure... Reenrol...

macmule: srsly? wth

what's wrong with TRIM?

Allister: nah I think you can.. Or could... Might have changed since.

Avatharian: Well in that particular link that macmule just shared, it was that the OS ends up leaking metadata about the encrypted filesystem because unused sectors are set back to clear / zero

Avatharian: Whereas on a non-SSD, unused sectors are just left alone.

Allister: but why?

So it leaks metadata about the amount of content on an encrypted volume depending on the filesystem encryption.

Additionally if you're using systems like Truecrypt which allow hidden volumes on unused disk sectors, TRIM can actually be hurtful in that it can trigger the SSD to wipe those hidden areas.

Allister: not at a Mac.. Seen options to change other things, but not user.

macmule: because enrolled by silly tech

wooo! trying to empty my trash crashed my computer!

Allister: staging user?

frogor: hey, you're here! May I ask the silly question? Can I run a script as root, but have it detect the logged in user as a standard user... without a loginhook?

Allister: yep!

Allister: Is there an update Profile for 10.10 14A389, or do I need to roll that myself

foigus: you can look in git

Allister: https://macmule.com/2014/11/19/how-to-get-the-c...

macmule: currently silly tech has 67 devices assigned to them

Allister: pinched from frogor

Allister: Not sure what you mean.

Allister: More details?

Looking--the only 10.10 14A389 profile is either A) just iTunes, or B) it's deprecated, man!

So I'll roll my own, thanks Allister

frogor: assumed he's running a script via Casper & wants to know who is logged in.

Oh.

uuuhhh. Question: Is there a reason why my GitHub app is suddenly 2Gb?

Then yeah, pretty sure my script would work for that. I don't think that API is limited to a particular classsification of user type.

ha! no way would I do that

It's the app itself, not my repo folder.

but I just hard-coded what I needed and am moving on with my life

Allister: :P

Just looked inside, it's full of update folders. Seems my app is having an issue updating and is repeatedly downloading them. weird.

Avatharian: probably it's saving old versions inside of itself

Allister: What do you mean "as a standard user"

Like logged in physically at the box?

frogor: ..it's a long story, I'm rotating the filevault password and I wanted the standard user detected as the one allowed to unlock

What the: "I went through AW support with this, but they are unable to help troubleshoot it because the MEM connection wasn't setup with the help of AirWatch deployment services"

but I'm needing to launch the script as sudo. Platypus-run scripts can't keep root privs

Pretty sure that API doesn't need root perms.

(in 10.10, as of my testing)

Uhhhh. wat. http://i.imgur.com/XRktD0G.png This is suddenly happening to me.

Avatharian: Did you attach a hard drive with an earlier OS....

Avatharian: got another drive hooked up?

Or Mac in target mode?

foigus: as a matter of fact, yes. That's funky.

Allister: Nothing in the documentation of SCDynamicStoreCopyConsoleUser indicates that it requires administrative rights to lookup / use. SC* calls are System Configuration calls. It's just asking the computer a simple state question: Who is logged in physically to me right now?

Apple didn't see the need to lock down that information.

However the fact the other drive/computer attached has Office 2011 14.0.0 is a bit strange

Allister: Should run with or without root permissions equally well.

I mean for filevault as well, though

but again, my short-term need for this is limited

Ohhh, the list of approved unlockers?

yup

-That- unfortunately I believe requires rights.

not adding, just scraping WHILE running as sudo

guess I could temporarily add to sudoers,... that sounds REALLY dumb

anyway

if platypus would 1. work with python/cocoadialog in 10.10 or 2. sudo at all I would be in a better place

but good thing I tought my coworkers basic command line skills, we just might get through this together

afk

Moving from a 4 x 3TB RAID 5+Spare to a 12 x 4TB RAID6: http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view6/3347201/so-muc...

nice, arrose. we're going to migrate up to 16x4TB from 16x750GB soon.... :D

Looks like MagerValp is dealing with a swarm of wasps...

get the bug spray

lol

macmule: when would you like to setup tele to talk about that tool? Sometime next week?

and I'm guessing it would have to be early morning my time

GaToRAiD: sure.. Let me get it setup 1st.
