Anyone have experience with this? We want to use rocket.chat as the help chat in a website. Probably a sidebar component or widget?

Ah, yup, testing that just killed the laptop. That's definitely at least related to the issue.

Can't find a rotation lock on Cinnamon, so in the mean time, testing Gnome3 and LXQT on there. At least going to see if we can isolate the issue. Getting closer, though.

Gnome3 does have the rotation lock option.

Testing that now. First test, it didn't work. It rotated after locking then freaked out.

I've only tried it using Fedora 25 Gnome3 on HP ProBook 450 G3.

Possible that Cinnamon is more fragile, since it is built on top of Gnome 3, there is more to go wrong. And it does not get as much testing. Gnome 3 works fine, so this might just be the solution if this tests out okay.

Wow. I can't blame whoever told him that he could download RAM. The temptation to take advantage of that kind of stupid is too damn high.

Dear @thanksajdotcom, Now that you are embarking on a new phase in your life, I found something that you need. Seriously. Make this yourself or find this chick and buy it from her. I think it could be the answer to your waking up problem.

At this point, I'm just hoping for healthy kids and an uneventful weekend. If we're all able to leave the house to go grocery shopping, that would be an improvement.

So many new people, welcome everyone! @JentuTechnologies @brandyreid @Adaministrator @poorizad

TraffikCam is an app where people from all over the world can upload photos of their hotel rooms, which are then cross referenced by police to photos of locations where sex trafficking has occurred. This is a fantastic idea. Note that you need to upload the photos while you are in the hotel room, because the app confirms the location to make sure that the photos are of the hotel rooms that you claim them to be.

Too late, in my brain, Dash is now using clappers for every light in his house, and starring in infomercials.

@DustinB3403 I'm sorry, are you expecting me to be rational when I'm pissed off?

It's only 81 miles to big fun in Uranus

Swag is so overdone. I like clever and unique items, such as the Hitchhiker's Guide themed towels that Scale gave out. I've become very picky about tshirts, and will only accept the super soft ones. I really covet the new Aetherstore shirt because it is a different color as well as being super soft. I do not like the heavy, stiff tshirts at all, and I don't wear them, so I don't even take them home anymore. Pens are overdone, but at least useful, as are notebooks. The multi-device charging cables win the most useful swag award this year. I actually like Scott's idea about small combined swag giftboxes shipped home (for those traveling by air).

Steve Gibson of GRC.com has been saying this about metadata for years in his podcast Security Now!

He definitely mentioned it again and again while covering all this craziness from the NSA. He's definitely said on more than one occasion that metadata can possibly be worth more than the phone calls themselves because of the patterns that can be found.

Which is, of course, why the NSA wants this data in the first place. If they couldn't use it for profiling, they wouldn't be collecting it.

Also, I like the topics mentioned by AJ, the storage 101 idea and the "Linux: When and Where for the SMB" idea. Good stuff. It's hard to narrow things down when the sky's the limit.

@Dominica I think it was intended to be Water Cooler, but I'm not sure.

I don't think it was intended to be named that, but I think calling it Random might make more sense. Otherwise I will be forced to post a daily joke or fact about poo.

There's such a big difference between planning for 50 and 250, that I'm not sure it's reasonable to do for our first time trying this. It seems like it might be a better idea to pick a maximum number of people for the first conference (on the lower side like 100 max) and limit attendance to that number. The choice of venues is drastically different for 100 vs. 250 people.

After my family insisted that I was supposed to charge my cell phone before it died, and that it didn't matter to battery life, blah, blah, blah, I tried it. I noticed immediately that the battery seemed to be dying faster and faster, until I was having to keep it plugged in most of the time. I decided to try to fix it, since at the time I still had a year left on my contract before I could renew and get a new phone. I started letting the phone fully discharge, and then fully charge before unplugging it, and after a week or so of this, I conditioned the battery so that now I get a day out of it before having to charge it again.

Awesome!
