It's like that McCains advert of which one is more important to him ... 'dad or chips ?' [08:33] i wouldn't trust 50p to a child [08:34] he'd spend it on a kinder egg [08:34] actually i found a pound once as a boy and bought 4 kinders and 4 cola bottles with it [08:35] mungbean: I think I bought a potatoe scallop with my new-found £1 coin .. prob.ly get a Fredo bar now .. [08:37] They say that Fredo bars are directly proportional to the rate of inflation .. i.e '02@ 5p then '13 @ 20p. [08:38] I think the bonk of England set their base rate by Fredo bars ;) [08:38] haha [08:39] my son is currently at that stage where if given a pound or two to buy something for himself he will try to convince me that i should pay so that he can keep his pounds to put them in his piggy bank instead [08:39] haha :) [08:39] christel: banker in the making? [08:39] (mind, he is also a bit greedy -- he hoovered the dining room and i jokingly suggested that i had better start paying him pocket money soon... he turned around and told me it would be 13 pounds) [08:40] i think he picked the amount out of thin air... he's only 3 and a half! [08:40] i felt it was a bit steep! [08:40] Sam is saving his money to buy expensive toys [08:40] MartijnVdS: i fear he might be!

[09:30] our customer's SEO people have asked that we remove the 301 redirect from .co.uk to .com and replace it with an "Our site has moved" page on the .co.uk...

[10:28] * Laney grows perplexed [10:28] but why do i get 8 addresses? [10:28] my bot just exited and reappeared with another address...weird [10:30] OT : redtape wonders if there's a manual *basque* after noting the 'bulls are running today' (click right for pictures) :: http://yhoo.it/152l6P2 :: it appears not. [10:30] **manual in *basque .. [10:31] mungbean, off the top of my head, you'll have at least a loopback (::1) and a link-local (fe80::...), then possibly an auto-configured global, and a dynamic global with privacy extensions. [10:31] yes i have 8 global [10:31] attached to eth0 [10:31] and 1 link . [10:32] All native? [10:32] Or are there tunnels, teredo (sp?) and stuff? [10:32] don't think there's any funky tunnels [10:36] mungbean, they'd probably be attached to a tun interface rather than eth0, actually. [10:36] i only have eth0 and lo0 [10:37] i might be confused though, i dont know much about ip6 [10:37] Xeon Processor E5-2660 8C 2.2GHz 20MB Cache 1600MHz 95 [10:37] woops [10:37] http://pastebin.com/qahJhma0 [10:39] "The Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor runs Linux. It [10:39] really is an x86 SMP-on-a-chip running Linux. " [10:40] you can get a shell session on the card. [10:42] mungbean, ip -6 addr show eth0 will give you a bit more information about those addresses. [10:43] most are scope global temporary deprecated dynamic [10:43] one is scope global dynamic [10:44] I think that means they were allocated by IPv6 privacy extensions and have been superseded, but I'm not sure. [10:45] The auto-configured IPv6 address normally contains your adapters MAC address in a trivially-encoded form, so the privacy extensions obfuscate that in some way. [10:45] At least that's how I understand it. I'm not intimately familiar with the whole thing, tbh. [10:45] * JamesTait glosses over the missing apostrophe. [10:48] mungbean, so the global dynamic one (not temporary) should look startlingly similar to the MAC address of eth0. It'll have ff:fe in the middle. [10:48] And the first byte will be different (bit 2 is flipped, I think). === jpds is now known as Guest46086 [11:03] hey,cloud cover, what's that?

[12:05] *rubs hands together* [12:06] haha [12:06] andylockran: that looks fine after a quick look, though varnish can choke on large files.. it might be worth piping the connection instead of passing [12:08] andylockran: if I remember rightly, there's a bug in varnish that makes it crash the worker handling large files. Newer versions should be patched [12:11] hmm, didn't get much of a chance to put the boot in on virgin's flight survey other than to rate punctuality of the outbound flight as "poor" (it was over 3 hours before we got on a plane after the departure time) [12:12] I do like those surveys where the closest you can get to complaining is marking them as 0 for 'would you reccomend us to your friends' [12:13] i rated them a five [12:13] I had a council send me a survey about paying council tax. It asked me to rate my chances of doing it again... [12:13] the inbound flight was excellent [12:13] lol [12:13] haha [12:14] well, there's a difference between *wanting* to pay your council tax and actually *having* to pay it ... :) [12:14] haha, yeah [12:15] i phoned up some credit types today who i have some old debt with that i'm paying off [12:15] wanted to get the current balance [12:15] and they said "oh and there's the other account with (blah blah) pounds on it" [12:15] i was like "whaaaaaat? when did i last pay anything against it?" [12:15] "oh, something something 2010" [12:15] OOPS [12:16] "um, so I should start paying something to that then, eh?" "yes, that would be great!" :) [12:16] glad i called now [12:20] "Sync failed.

[14:51] defragging still works to some extent ;) [14:51] :-| [14:51] but yeah, it's one of those things that everyone thinks is the magical cure [14:52] I imagine it's because it took so freaking long, back in the day [14:52] anything that takes so long must be good [14:52] $7.99? [14:52] yeah, I know [14:52] for some snake oil? [14:52] it's silly [14:53] defragging helps, on moderately full filesystems [14:53] it doesn't do anything on mostly empty ones [14:53] which is most disks these days [14:54] the command "filefrags" will tell you how fragmented a given file is [14:54] e.g. [14:54] directhex@barnabas:~/Downloads$ filefrag en-gb_windows_8_x64_dvd_915412.iso [14:54] en-gb_windows_8_x64_dvd_915412.iso: 95 extents found [14:54] can it tell you how fragmented a filesystem is? [14:55] no, because that doesn't mean anything in linux filesystems [14:56] windows packs filesystems from the start, so any time a file grows, it becomes fragmented. linux packs filesystems randomly so often, growing files does not incur a fragmentation penalty as there is free space to grow, on a per-file basis [14:58] gotcha [15:03] davmor2: you so scary [15:03] bigcalm: I know === LjL^ is now known as Guest69594 === Guest69594 is now known as 20WACQ4ZX === PaulW2U is now known as Guest78283 [15:06] * bigcalm kicks nickserv === andatche_ is now known as andatche [15:06] Does w3m have an in page search feature?

Back to work I go [16:33] neuro: come to .nl, we get 100mbit fibre AND ipv6 :) [16:33] MartijnVdS: don't make me come over there [16:33] oh wait [16:34] see the thing is, i have 80mbit fibre and ipv6 [16:34] actually 2x80Mbit fibre and ipv6 [16:34] but not at home/ [16:34] just that opening irc outbound is a pain in the bum [16:34] yes, at home [16:34] but not native ipv6 then [16:34] no, he.net tunnel [16:34] which is good enough, i guess [16:34] * MartijnVdS just dhcpv6's on the pppoe link [16:35] most of my traffic goes via london anyway [16:35] worst case i get an extra ms or two on the latency [16:35] throughput seems reasonable too [16:36] bt and sky both have a habit of adopting reasonable features and policies eventually, so i've no doubt at some point i'll have native ipv6 [16:36] no idea how that'll work multihomed, but there you go [16:36] * neuro shakes fist at bytemark [16:37] "yay, look at us, 1GiB servers from £10 a month! Big sticker graphic! £10 a month! Look! £10!" [16:37] "Excludes VAT" [16:38] 20p [16:38] Erm £2 [16:38] If it were a business expense, you could claim that 2 quid back [16:38] lol [16:39] i was about to say [16:39] I feed them £18 for my yummy vps [16:39] that would be interesting [16:39] since i'm not vat registered [16:39] You tax dodger you! [16:39] you don't need to register for VAT if your revenue is below... £53k a year, iirc? [16:39] The Moon Under Water better have working air con tonight [16:40] how is not registering to avoid paying VAT tax dodging, you pillock? :) [16:40] directhe`: i thought it was 65k [16:40] been a while since i looked [16:40] 79k! [16:40] i've never pulled that much revenue in per annum anyway, so [16:40] really? [16:40] woof [16:41] http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/vat/start/register/when-to-register.htm [16:43] wow [16:43] just logged into my bytemark account [16:43] the registered credit card's expiry date is in 2010 [16:43] so it's been a while :) [16:44] When was the last time you paid them? [16:44] probably the last time i had a VM with them [16:44] which was some time ago [16:45] ha [16:45] just searched my mail for 'bytemark' [16:46] i sold my old sony blu ray player to matthew :) [16:46] back in 2010 [16:48] Can one list the commit messages from HEAD back to a given tag in git? [16:48] yes. [16:48] I really should ask open questions :) [16:48] git log [revision range] [16:48] but how to specify a revision range.. [16:48] MartijnVdS: ta [16:48] git log foo..HEAD [16:49] see the "Specifying Ranges" section of gitrevisions(7). [16:49] e.g. git log 4a46aae5878ca39f531a686e13ee630548d6b4a3..HEAD [16:49] bigcalm: As a shortcut, omit the HEAD from what directhe` said. If either since or until in the since..until form is omitted it'll default to HEAD. [16:50] So git log foo.. is the same as git log foo..HEAD. [16:50] Good to know. Thank you peeps :) [16:50] git log v1.0.0.. [16:50] Perfecet [16:50] 1.0.0? [16:50] isn't that pre-electricity? [16:51] you want a tag, then, not a revision? [16:51] MartijnVdS: Very much depends on the poject, no? [16:51] directhe`: That is, looking at the log, what the question was, yes. [16:51] Darael: well git is at 1.6(?) now [16:52] MartijnVdS: Yeah, but there's no reason to assume bigcalm is wanting git logs for git itself. [16:52] funny thing is, it works anyway [16:52] sure, but if "git log" outputs a version that's not its own.. what then? [16:52] , e.g. master, heads/master, refs/heads/master [16:52] 3. otherwise, refs/tags/ if it exists; [16:52] so if there's a v1.0.0 tag, it'll Just Work [16:53] Best not have a branch called that then [16:53] Yes, v1.0.0 is a tag name. Soon to create the v1.0.1 tag [16:53] MartijnVdS: It outputs the log for the current repository, surely. Why should we assume bigcalm is in git's own source repo, rather than a git repo for something else? [16:54] I assure you that I am not in the git git repo [16:54] ;) [16:54] Precisely. [16:55] ...would git 1.0 even *be* in the git git repo? At what point did they start keeping git in git? [16:55] bitkeeper! [16:55] directhe`: heh, we actually still use that at work [17:00] 1.5 hours to steak! [17:00] And I should stop working at this point [17:00] bigcalm: T-bone minus 01:30:00 ? [17:00] Haha [17:00] ! [17:00] !! [17:00] i really fancy steak now [17:01] go to bigcalm [17:01] he is so far away! [17:01] I would have fillet if they had it. Will make do with sirloin [17:01] and he only offers weatherspoons...

[17:03] hehe lack of decent steak? :) [17:03] i texted gareth and informed him that i expected him to divert via waitrose to pick up steak for tea [17:03] :s [17:03] (i also expect him to cook it when he returns home!) [17:03] Haha [17:04] i havent told him the latter part yet [17:05] Will be a nice surprise for him :) [17:05] :) [17:05] fsvo nice ;) [17:10] New wine rack please: http://www.designlaunches.com/lifestyle/gottacha_wine_rack_dont_try_and_dart_the_bottle.php [17:15] does anyone else have the "new" google maps on android yet? [17:17] yes. [17:19] I got it earlier today [17:20] it looks a lot like the new web-based maps [17:20] yes. [17:20] I'll miss offline maps [17:20] and Latitude is now in Google+ I think? [17:20] osmand to the rescue, [17:21] brobostigon: I'll just get local data sims until Neelie's plans are done ;) [17:21] brobostigon: (big pan-European mobile providers) [17:21] MartijnVdS: :) [17:21] (who.. can't charge for roaming!) [17:21] :) [17:29] you can still do offline maps [17:29] you have to type "OK Maps" into the search field [17:30] apparently [17:30] i heard that aswell, not tested it. [17:31] doesnt work here, it just sent me to oklahoma. [17:34] popey: oh? [17:34] popey: sounds "OK Glass"ish.. or trollish [17:34] yeah [17:34] its in their official blog post [17:35] can I un-cache as well? [17:35] i haz no idea [17:35] i dont have the new app yet [17:40] the new navigation auto-routes around obstructions, apparently === RadiumCat is now known as NimChimpsky [19:03] * neuro just watched jono rather tactfully negotiate ubuntu on air questions from some numpty from morocco using a rather rude nick [19:04] oh dear. === shauno_ is now known as shauno === webpigeo1 is now known as webpigeon [19:29] MartijnVdS: can't believe you recommended bigv.io to me earlier :) [19:29] what a total disaster [19:41] Laney: popey http://i.imgur.com/vzKoS83.gif [19:42] that is quite possibly better than a cat on a roomba wearing a shark suit [19:53] my wife baked a big batch of choc brownies \o/] [19:54] yum [19:55] my workmates never appreciate them [19:55] seem not to eat cake [19:56] oh dear.

[20:20] i'm thinking startx, xinitrc.. that sholud do it, but I can't figure how to auto-start startx === Guest24508 is now known as LjL [20:21] n1md4: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Openbox has some instructions on how to get it to turn up in the lightdm screen [20:22] or maybe GDM [20:22] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CustomXSession#LightDM_configuration is probably the answer for lightdm [20:24] i've read those. the system requirements are pretty tight, as it's an htpc, i don't want to install a display manager [20:25] so, ideally auto-launching startx .. is there something I could put in upstart .. or something :\ [20:36] n1md4: is rc.local still executed at boot these days? if so then you can use that === LjL is now known as Guest91961 [20:46] diddledan: not sure, ubuntu changed a bunch of stuff (some time ago) since then I never know. [20:49] /etc/init.d/rc3.d/S99rc.local exists on my system so I'm assuming creating /etc/rc.local as executable bash script will work fine [20:49] ergh [20:49] --init.d [20:49] /etc/rc3.d/S99rc.local linked to /etc/init.d/rc.local [20:51] does lightdm use resource when you are runnig the openbox though? its very light === AlanChicken is now known as AlanBell === Guest91961 is now known as LjL === emmy is now known as Guest55802 === stgraber_ is now known as stgraber === schwuk_away is now known as schwuk === schwuk is now known as schwuk_away === AlanChicken is now known as AlanBell [23:15] ok. I'm wondering why ubuntu installer is failing to boot on my desktop over there --> it's running a gigabyte hybridefi system which makes it a pain to begin with, but the problem isn't with that it's after grub has been dismissed. the system seems to hang after the kernel is loaded but before the initrd is executed [23:15] I've had ubuntu on there before so it's definitely capable [23:16] I'm thinking maybe there's an issue with the fact it's currently got windows 8 installed on it which doens't like to shutdown properly (windows 8 seems to prefer to suspend to disk in response to "shutdown") [23:19] diddledan, you can disable that [23:20] http://www.typicaltips.com/2013/02/disable-fast-startup-in-windows-8.html [23:22] oooh [23:22] ty [23:23] ok, trying again with fast startup disabled [23:24] nope, that wasn't it [23:25] perhaps the bios is just fscked in the brain [23:27] it completely locks up to the point that the keyboard is unresponsive.. and always in the same place: dismiss grub, get a spurious warning about being unable to read a disc sector on hd0 and the "press any key to continue" message, then nada [23:27] pressing any key don't work, and the dvd doesn't run merrily away reading stuff, so it's defo hung [23:29] I've tried two separate drives. and each one has different problems - an ide using an ide-to-sata bridge gets to the point I've just detailed, and a native sata bluray drive just hangs before grub gets loaded with the flashy cursor in the top-left of the screen [23:30] gonna try an apple usb superdrive next [23:31] so you're trying to boot the installer in efi mode, not legacy [23:31] yup [23:32] what's the motherboard? [23:33] gigabyte 990-fxa-ud5 (the version before they put a real efi bios in) [23:33] I think real efi came in version 3 [23:35] it's entirely likely that the fake efi implementation is confusing the hell out of the kernel [23:35] i doubt gigabyte tested much beyond windows 7 [23:36] they're supposed to have used the tiano-core(?) implementation from intel [23:36] parts of it [23:36] which is efi on-top of bios [23:36] they completely failed to include the shell tho [23:36] which sucks [23:38] putting efi on top of bios makes as much sense as gluing wheels to a horse. silly gigabyte. [23:42] i'm showing problems for people with that exact motherboard, dating from last year [23:43] to be honest, if i were you, and i had a firmware made of cheese, i'd abandon getting it to boot via efi, and settle for good old 1970s BIOS emulation. well, not emulation in this case [23:44] mmm, cheese [23:44] :-) [23:44] thing is, I'm sure I've had it booting through efi before, which just makes me annoyed the more [23:45] oh well.. was worth the try.. back to non-efi [23:46] means either I reinstall windows OR virtualise it [23:46] well, not neccessarily [23:46] linux can boot from a GPT disk, in BIOS mode [23:46] if you can beat your firmware into allowing it, you can have an EFI OS and a BIOS OS both installed to the same GPT disk, and usable [23:47] the only issue is trying to boot BIOS Windows from GPT, which doesn't work [23:47] but that's not what you're trying to achieve [23:48] yeah, that's not gonna happen. the bios has exactly one option for efi-related stuff: "EFI CD/DVD Boot Option" with the choice of "Non-EFI", "EFI", and "Auto" [23:48] auto references the size of disk rather than what's on it [23:49] i.e. >2.2TB = EFI; <2.2TB = BIOS [23:50] bit of FUD there: "EFI is essential to support >2.2TB HDD" [23:52] weeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllllllllllllllll................ [23:52] GPT is defined in the EFI spec [23:52] and GPT is needed to support >2.2T HDD [23:52] so it's not a total lie, more a lie of omission
