| notdrupal-#ubuntu-drupal | <reply> Ubuntu-Drupal is NOT Drupal. Drupal is an incredibly CMS (drupal.org). Ubuntu-Drupal is a set of extras to be used on top of Drupal (modules/theme) that helps you to deploy an Ubuntu related site very quickly. If you have any ideas for modules please ask. | Added by Pici Date: 2009-07-09 18:28:45 Requested 4 times |

| nopti | <reply> KPTI is a mitigation for the !Meltdown security issue. With some workloads on some processors, KPTI has a significant performance impact. KPTI can be disabled by adding "nopti" to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line in /etc/default/grub. This should only be done if absolutely necessary because it will disable protections against Meltdown and thus allow any malicious user process to read memory and probably escalate to root. | Added by dax Date: 2018-01-10 01:34:24 Last edited by dax Date: 2018-01-10 02:07:38 Requested 18 times |

| night | <reply> It's the middle of the night in the US and Europe, and surrounds. This means that a lot of people are likely asleep, therefore there are less potential people who can answer your question. Please be patient, and consider asking at a time when more people will be awake. This is particularly true in the quieter channels. | Added by Hobbsee Date: 2007-05-27 13:30:59 Last edited by Hobbsee Date: 2007-05-27 13:35:36 Requested 105 times |

| nickspam | <reply> You should avoid changing your nick in a busy channel like #ubuntu, or other Ubuntu channels; it causes excessive scrolling which is unfair to new users. Please set your preferred nick in your client's settings instead.

| nickfork-#ubuntu-offtopic | a silly little game for offtopic channels ONLY. The way it works is you pick out a random nick from the /names list (works best if they're idle), have a bunch of people switch to something similar (scrambles, reverse, 1337speak), and see how long it takes for the real person to catch on. Have fun! | Added by tonyyarusso Date: 2008-02-20 09:55:16 Last edited by rww Date: 2011-04-06 06:16:22 Requested 14 times |
| nick | <reply> Your nick is how people know you on IRC. Please don't change your nicknames too often (use «/nick <newnick>» for that), or it creates a lot of confusion.

| nice | <reply> 'Nice' is a property of a process that determines how willing it is to give CPU time to other processes. A higher value makes it more likely to give away time. A negative value makes it less likely. Values are from -19 to 19, with 0 being the default. For more information, type 'man nice' at a terminal. | Added by Seveas Date: 2006-06-18 21:53:33 Last edited by Myrtti Date: 2008-10-08 17:34:10 Requested 81 times |
