01:28 * macdjord has a WinVista laptop and a Win7 desktop. They are on the same wifi but not physically connected. What is the easiest way to move files from one to the other?
01:30
<~Vornicus>
Could either share a folder, or sneakernet it
01:30
<~Vornicus>
I don't remember how hard precisely sharing a folder is
01:31
<@Namegduf>
I use https://code.google.com/p/mongoose/
01:31
<@Namegduf>
Dump the executable into the folder, run it, instant web server serving that folder.
01:32
<@Namegduf>
That this is easier than Windows File Sharing stuff speaks to how horribly awful Windows's stuff is.
01:32
<&ToxicFrog>
Namegduf: if you want to move lots of files that kind of requires you to have wget or similar installed on the other machine, though
01:32
<&ToxicFrog>
Vornicus, macdjord: if you're lucky, windows file sharing is super easy and works on the first try.
01:32
<@Namegduf>
That would be true.
01:32
<&ToxicFrog>
But you probably aren't lucky.
01:32
<&ToxicFrog>
Which means it won't work, and it will take several minutes for it to realize that it's not working and give you control back, and it will not give you any information whatsoever about why it isn't working.
01:35
<&ToxicFrog>
I would say that if you want to mirror directory contents on an ongoing basis, something like syncthing is your best bet; if you just want a one-off file transfer, windows file sharing is worth trying, just in case you're lucky
01:35
<&Derakon>
For one-offs I just generally use a USB drive.
01:35
<&ToxicFrog>
And if not...if you have Cygwin installed one one of them, it comes with an sshd, so there you go.
01:36
<@macdjord>
For small items, I just use dropbox.
01:36
<&ToxicFrog>
If you don't have Cygwin I'm out of ideas.
01:36
<&ToxicFrog>
(apart from "install cygwin")
01:36
<@Namegduf>
Small stuff I'd upload to Google Drive and then download.
01:36
<@Namegduf>
So same idea.

STALLMANNNNNN.
15:55
<@celticminstrel>
I don't suppose there's a sh equivalent to cmd's "@echo on"?
15:56
<~Vornicus>
what's @echo on do?
15:56
< abudhabi>
If it's the same thing as in DOS, it prints the commands in addition to their normal output.
15:56
< abudhabi>
IIRC.
15:56
<@celticminstrel>
I thought there was one, but I can't seem to find it.
15:56
<@celticminstrel>
And yes, that's what it does.
15:57
<~Vornicus>
oh I see
15:58
< Wizard>
echo "command" | tee | bash
15:58
< Wizard>
Something like that?
15:58
< Wizard>
Oh no
15:58
< Wizard>
I forgot how tee works, sorry

<@celticminstrel>
The man-page doesn't seem to explain what -v does.
16:13
<@celticminstrel>
It says --verbose is equivalent to -v, but doesn't explain -v.
16:14
<@celticminstrel>
Doesn't even list -v.
16:21
<~Vornicus>
weird
16:30
< abudhabi>
Can I identify the OSX version from its default wallpaper?
16:32
< abudhabi>
I *think* it's 10.7 but am unsure.

celticminstrel: "The âa, âb, âC, âe, âf, âm, ân, âo option, âu, âv, and âx options are described as part of the set utility in Section 2.14, Special Built-In Utilities."
18:16
<&ToxicFrog>
celticminstrel: -v is "the shell shall write its input to stderr as it is read"
18:16
<&ToxicFrog>
You probably actually want "-x", "the shell shall write to stderr a trace for each command after expanding the command but before executing it"
18:17
<&ToxicFrog>
So, enable that by running the shell as "sh -x", or in the script itself "set -x"

How to filter for 'only sellers from China' on ebay, in the absence of an explicit filter like this: filter by 'free international shipping'. :D
