[03:17] <mapp|work> this sucks, dns isnt working at work
[06:58] <ali1234> Azelphur: djy1991 just uploaded a video with base64 content in the description. it appears to be an executable file. you know anything about this? some valve ARG happening?
[06:58] <ali1234> the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmldfFmv_EU
[07:17] <MooDoo> morning all
[07:41] <knightwise> morning everyon e
[07:47] <MartijnVdS> ali1234: it's the NSA/CIA talking to people in the field
[07:47] <MartijnVdS> ali1234: 21st century number stations
[07:48] <ali1234> on djy's channel?
[07:48] <MartijnVdS> I have no idea who that is
[07:49] <MooDoo> I watch defcon videos and it was interesting the general of the NSA on there, quite an interesting watch
[07:50] <diddledan> hi every body
[07:50]  * diddledan awaits dr nick reference
[07:50] <MooDoo> hi
[07:50] <diddledan> fial
[07:50] <diddledan> fail*
[07:51] <diddledan> it goes: "hi dr nick!"
[07:51] <diddledan> </simpsons fail>
[07:52] <MooDoo> i have no idea what you're talking about ;)
[07:53] <diddledan> cartoon about a family of yellow people
[07:54] <diddledan> the son of the family insists that people eat his shorts
[07:54] <MooDoo> sorry i know who they are, no idea about the dr nick reference, shall I go back to sleep?
[07:54] <diddledan> lol
[07:55] <diddledan> you have to have seen quite alot to catch the few episodes he actually appears in
[07:55] <diddledan> one of his lines that I remember well is "INflammable means flammable?!"
[07:56] <diddledan> that line was uttered after the inflammable container exdploded
[07:56] <diddledan> --d
[08:06] <diplo> Morning all
[08:06] <gordonjcp> "flammbable" isn't a real word
[08:06] <gordonjcp> of course, neither is "flammable"
[08:06] <gordonjcp> I reall must clean this keyboard
[08:07] <MartijnVdS> gordonjcp: http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/washable-keyboard-k310
[08:13] <AlanBell> diddledan: valuable and invaluable are also not opposites
[08:14] <MartijnVdS> famous and infamous?
[08:15] <diddledan> I thought the same about decent and indecent, too, but apparently exposure of one kind is less legal than the other
[08:15] <MartijnVdS> diddledan: "He got arrested for decent exposure"? Must've been really trying 8-)
[08:15] <diddledan> lol
[08:20] <shauno> I've always wondered that about 'terrific'.  horror->horrific, terror->terrific.  why is terrific a good thing?
[08:23] <shauno> my task this morning; figure out how to reply to an email without just insulting him.  this is not going to be a fun morning
[08:25] <diplo> shauno: I just don't bother or get someone else to do it as I can't do that.. going to get me sacked one day
[08:27] <knightwise> morning everyone
[08:27]  * knightwise is trying to find a way to stream his iTunes library over the web
[08:29] <shauno> we've made a feature request that "appliance" expose the option to use a http-proxy.  I got the reply "If you provide the DNS server to the <appliance> it must resolve the issue. <web-service> data will be re-directed through DNS server and then proxy server."
[08:32] <shauno> my favourite part being that he's sent a screenshot of his laptop (not "appliance") resolving timesofindia.com as "explanation"
[08:37] <diplo> I'd probably have replied with something like 'do you know what you're talking about' :)
[08:38] <shauno> yeah, that's one of few options I've come up with that don't start with "what the"
[08:40] <diplo> It really sucks doesn't it, one of my old colleages has started a job in london, went from we did everything to a corporate env with dbadmins/linux/window admins etc
[08:41] <diplo> Most people he deals with don't really have a clue, it's got to the point now that they have given him root/admin access to all the servers and he then writes docs for them :/
[08:42] <shauno> I know it's a well-beaten horse, but I'm still not happy that our firmware dev got moved from missouri to bangalore
[08:42] <diddledan> keys to the kingdom!
[08:43] <diddledan> shauno: did the guys move with the job or did the job move to new guys?
[08:43] <shauno> the role moved, the bodies didn't
[08:43] <diddledan> fudge
[08:43] <diddledan> so they completely nuked an entire department?
[08:43] <diddledan> that sucks
[08:44] <MooDoo> sigh.
[08:44] <diddledan> it's not so bad if you can retain the same staffing
[08:44] <diddledan> but to braindrain an entire department and somehow train a new department to do the same job really doesn't make sense
[08:45] <diddledan> training that new department without any of the old department to offer advice*
[08:45] <shauno> it wasn't retraining, it was 'mutualization', when we were swallowed whole by a parent company
[08:45] <MooDoo> it's all about cost, why pay for local staff, when you can get cheaper labour a continent awaty
[08:47] <diddledan> eek it's light outside
[08:47] <diddledan> -_-
[08:47] <diplo> skills I guess, that's the other issue with my mate in london. they all have 'a indian' who works for them that they pass off not so nice work
[08:48] <diplo> But the problem with it is that they're fairly rubbish on the whole from what he's found out, but... htey cost 1/10th the cost of most UK staff
[08:50] <shauno> we have some who are totally worth their weight
[08:51] <diddledan> me?
[08:52] <diddledan> oh hang, on. good point.
[08:52] <diddledan> wrong , placement
[08:55] <MooDoo> I know a company that outsourced all their work to india, made most of their workforce redundant....they had to grovel to get their staff back when their biggest client threatened to leave them if they didn't move it all back as the outsourcing company were pitiful.
[08:56] <gordonjcp> MartijnVdS: :-)
[09:29] <JamesTait> Good morning all; happy Poinsettia Day! :-D
[09:30] <MooDoo> morning JamesTait
[09:30] <foobarry> an employer choose a wood-free paper for sustainability but the paper in made in india, hence massive carbon footprint :(
[09:30] <MartijnVdS> enviro-madness!
[09:31] <shauno> wood-free paper sounds .. I must google this.  It just reminds me of the terrible waxpaper-like TP we used to have at school
[09:33] <diddledan> shauno: plastic - made of oil
[09:33] <diddledan> :-p
[09:34] <diddledan> and, shauno , you actually ventured far enough to be using TP in a school toilet?!
[09:34] <foobarry> its called "harvest"
[09:35] <diddledan> hold it in until you get home!
[09:37] <shauno> I never had that issue.  you must have some proper dodgy schools down south :p
[09:37] <diddledan> lol
[09:38] <diddledan> put it this way, you daren't try and flush the mess away
[09:38] <foobarry> our school toilets were like pub toilets or football ground toilets ..open sewers
[09:38] <diddledan> that's a n00b mistake
[09:38] <Myrtti> shauno: bamboo or recycled paper
[09:39] <diddledan> instead of disappearing down the drain it bubbles up and out over your feet
[09:39] <diddledan> sorry for the visuals
[09:40] <diddledan> I never have understood why toilet makers make the cistern hold more water than can fit in the bowl if the bowl wasn't to empty at all
[09:40] <foobarry> i have memories of the flooded toilet floors so clearly that you would just have to stand at the entrance and get your wanger out and just pee onto the puddle
[09:40] <diddledan> foobarry: lol
[09:40] <Myrtti> diddledan: or have an overflow drain like sinks do
[09:40] <foobarry> i still have recurring dreams about slipping over on filthy toilets
[09:41] <TheOpenSourcerer> Any budding beekeepers?: http://opensource.com/life/13/12/open-source-beehive
[09:41] <ali1234> foobarry: it has to, because physics
[09:41] <ali1234> er, i mean diddledan
[09:41] <MartijnVdS> TheOpenSourcerer: didn't sabdfl have a hive/colony?
[09:42] <xnox> he is also allergic to bees =)
[09:42] <TheOpenSourcerer> Apparently yes MartijnVdS
[09:42] <AlanBell> http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1115
[09:44] <Myrtti> TheOpenSourcerer: emmajane would...
[09:44] <MooDoo> they could of branded it with a ubuntu logo ;)
[09:44] <MooDoo> Myrtti: emmajane would of knitted it ;)
[09:45] <Myrtti> MooDoo: or sewn
[09:45] <MooDoo> Myrtti: or even crochet ;)
[09:45] <TheOpenSourcerer> My wife's dad used to keep bees and we'd quite like to, but our youngest child has severe allergies so it's probably not a good idea.
[09:45] <SuperMatt> MooDoo: s/of/have/
[09:46] <MooDoo> SuperMatt: thanks :p
[09:46] <SuperMatt> sorry to do that, but it drives me up the wall >.<
[09:46] <SuperMatt> that and "can I get"
[09:46] <MooDoo> SuperMatt: it's fine, I don't mind being rediculed infront of my peers :)
[09:46] <SuperMatt> \o/
[09:47] <MooDoo> http://tumbleweed.popey.com/
[09:47] <MooDoo>  :)
[09:47] <Myrtti> SuperMatt: I hereby give you permission to correct my English language anytime, anywhere
[09:47] <SuperMatt> Oh, you don't want that
[09:47] <SuperMatt> I'm wrong in a number of places
[09:47] <Myrtti> SuperMatt: take it as a challenge
[09:47] <MartijnVdS> SuperMatt: you can always defer to the Queen, of course
[09:47] <TheOpenSourcerer> SuperMatt: hah - we have a bit of a meme in our pub about that - every time a newcomer comes in and says "can I get a pint of ..." everyone tells them no and why.
[09:48] <MooDoo> I wish people would talk proper like what I does.
[09:48] <MartijnVdS> MooDoo: aren't you from halfway oop norf though?
[09:48] <SuperMatt> TheOpenSourcerer: that's brilliant
[09:49] <SuperMatt> I assume you go with "because you're not allowed behind the bar"?
[09:49] <MooDoo> MartijnVdS: nottingham, so should be saying things like "ayup me duck"
[09:49] <shauno> they've always irked me.  "I'll have" more than "can I get", but still
[09:49] <Myrtti> I had to explain the difference between immaterial substances and set objects to D the other day when he was reading over my shoulder my Finnish discussion over what kind of Baileys are available at Tescos
[09:49] <MartijnVdS> MooDoo: yeah, so not quite the north, but also not quite the middle anymore ;)
[09:49] <TheOpenSourcerer> Thet kind of thing - then we say you may drink if you ask properly "Please may I have... " would be a good start! So sometimes newcomers don't stay very long ;-)
[09:50] <SuperMatt> hahaha
[09:50] <MooDoo> http://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/food/french-cafe-fed-up-with-rushed-customers-begins-charging-more-for-rudeness/story-fn93ypt9-1226781130323
[09:50] <MooDoo> TheOpenSourcerer: read that :D
[09:51] <Myrtti> different referencing pronouns for expressing "I've not seen any special Baileys at the store"
[09:51] <SuperMatt> Myrtti: "Tescos" also winds me up...
[09:51] <SuperMatt> because it's Tesco
[09:51] <MartijnVdS> SuperMatt: or Americans and their "legos"
[09:51] <TheOpenSourcerer> MooDoo: That's great!
[09:51] <Myrtti> SuperMatt: yes, I left that there on purpose ;-)
[09:51] <SuperMatt> oh god yeah, legos just sounds wrong
[09:51] <shauno> "can I get" is a simple yes/no question, surely?
[09:51] <MooDoo> TheOpenSourcerer: we need a bot in here, for people that say "can any one help" and if no please, pass them to #ubuntu ;)
[09:52] <foobarry> every nightclub deserves an s on the end
[09:52] <MooDoo> shauno: it sounds wrong.
[09:52] <MooDoo> s/get/have
[09:52] <foobarry> "can i get" is plain rude. "please could i have.."
[09:52] <SuperMatt> foobarry: they only get an s on the end because the people that attend are normally commoners. filthy filthy commoners.
[09:52] <foobarry> colloquialists
[09:52] <shauno> 'get' is accurate, if the next step is to point them to the offie ;)
[09:53] <MartijnVdS> shauno: "can I get a pint?" -> "can I help myself to one?"; "can I have a pint?" -> "would you mind doing it for me?"
[09:53] <TheOpenSourcerer> It's not rude, it just means you you are asking if you can retrieve whatever it is yourself.
[09:53] <MartijnVdS> even *I* know that :P
[09:53] <TheOpenSourcerer> In a self-service diy warehouse it is probably right.
[09:53] <foobarry> its an americanism, therefore lame
[09:53] <TheOpenSourcerer> The assistant would let you know where you can go and get said item.
[09:54] <shauno> "I'll have" is my pet hate.  it only actually works if someone else is offering
[09:54]  * Myrtti gets popcorn
[09:54] <TheOpenSourcerer> Hmm, Myrtti. Isn't it a bit early for popcorn?
[09:55] <SuperMatt> It's never too early
[09:55] <SuperMatt> the real question is: salt or sweet?
[09:55] <foobarry> "i'll have" only works when you ask your mates what beers they are having
[09:55] <SuperMatt> I'm being badgered to try these fancy new combination packs of salt and sweet
[09:55] <SuperMatt> but I remain unconvinced
[09:55] <foobarry> SuperMatt: rackspace?
[09:55] <SuperMatt> no news yet!
[09:55] <foobarry> :(
[09:55] <Myrtti> SuperMatt: there is no sweet popcorn in Finland
[09:56] <Myrtti> so I've not really learnt to eat it
[09:56] <foobarry> butterkist ra ra ra
[09:56] <shauno> yay, I have new Pi (which is also incorrect, but the plural of .. pis? looks awkward)
[09:56] <SuperMatt> I've had a lot of good feedback, but no offer
[09:56] <MartijnVdS> Myrtti: is there plain popcorn? Is there sugar/syrup?
[09:56] <SuperMatt> the recruiter is convinced that they're just waiting for signoff to hire me
[09:56] <Myrtti> MartijnVdS: salty, or butter
[09:56] <MartijnVdS> Myrtti: no "nothing"?
[09:56] <SuperMatt> oh god, I don't want butter on my popcorn
[09:56] <SuperMatt> MADNESS
[09:56] <foobarry> rackspace use recruiters?
[09:56] <Myrtti> MartijnVdS: not really, unless you pop it in a pan at home
[09:57] <Myrtti> or pop corn machine at home
[09:57] <SuperMatt> well they don't really hire for specific roles, so I guess they have recruiters which go hunting down the best people for them
[09:57] <foobarry> my wife asked for a £30 popcorn machine
[09:57] <SuperMatt> it's a case of "go and find me the best" rather than "here's a role, try and find someone to fit it"
[09:58] <foobarry> they are far away in hayes or somewhere?
[09:58] <SuperMatt> yup yup
[09:58] <SuperMatt> it'll be an interesting commute
[10:00] <SuperMatt> but totally worth it for the name on my cv ;)
[10:12] <MooDoo> SuperMatt: did you hear from RS?
[10:13] <SuperMatt> nope, nothing yet
[10:13] <MooDoo> how rude
[10:13] <SuperMatt> the general gist is that they haven't said no yet, so chances are there's delays getting sign off for me
[10:14] <MooDoo> SuperMatt: or like other companies, they are rude and don't reply to unsuccessful applicants, but still keeping my fingers crossed fro you.
[10:14] <MooDoo> SuperMatt: do you have RHCE?
[10:14] <SuperMatt> RHCSA
[10:14]  * MartijnVdS has RSA4096
[10:14] <MooDoo> SuperMatt: oooo
[10:14] <MartijnVdS> also ECDSA
[10:14] <MooDoo> MartijnVdS: that's a typing exam lol
[10:14] <SuperMatt> MooDoo: it's all through a recruitment agency, so the recruiter is constantly badgering racksapce
[10:15]  * diplo keeps debating getting some quali's
[10:15] <diplo> My company don't do any training of any sort ever
[10:15] <MooDoo> SuperMatt: ah!
[10:15] <SuperMatt> so if it really was a no, we'd have an answer by now
[10:15] <MartijnVdS> MooDoo: "please mash some keys to get more random bits"
[10:15] <diplo> So will be self paid :/
[10:15] <SuperMatt> but they've called me every day this week
[10:15] <SuperMatt> I just hope I head today so I can hand in my notice today as I'm off tomorrow
[10:15] <MooDoo> MartijnVdS: I remember doing RSA2 myself many moons ago, plenty of putting my fingers on the home keys lol
[10:15] <SuperMatt> I don't want to wait till monday as my notice period is a month and it'd mean starting midweek or something
[10:16] <MartijnVdS> MooDoo: oh I meant my GPG key
[10:16] <MooDoo> diplo: yeah I have to self train my self, but not sure, RHCE or MSCITP?
[10:17] <diplo> I'm going for RHCE eventually, recently got training material.
[10:17] <MooDoo> diplo: where you get that from?  was it a book?
[10:18] <diplo> I have an old book, and training material was from a friend
[10:19] <mycziii> hi guys
[10:19] <diplo> Well a couple of books, I can't afford to get newer ones yet, but if I get the gist of all the other stuff first and then when I'm a little more flush get an updated one
[10:21] <brobostigon> good morning everyone.
[10:21] <MooDoo> diplo: sounds like a plan
[10:21] <MooDoo> mycziii: brobostigon hello :)
[10:21] <brobostigon> :)
[10:22] <Myrtti> whee, one of D's Christmas presents sorted, \o/ http://shop.theaa.com/store/car-kits/aa-emergency-breakdown-and-touring-kit just arrived (ironically from Littlehampton where we'll be going for the holidays)
[10:22] <mycziii> MooDoo: :-)
[10:22] <popey> SuperMatt: are you sure your notice period isn't four weeks?
[10:22] <SuperMatt> I'm pretty certain it's a month
[10:23] <SuperMatt> because I was stung by it in my last place, so I double checked here
[10:23] <popey> starting a job mid-week isn't the worst thing in the world
[10:23] <SuperMatt> I know
[10:23] <SuperMatt> but it'd be nice to start on a monday
[10:23] <SuperMatt> have a nice refreshing weekend
[10:23] <Myrtti> I always try to make a point of starting on the first working day of the month
[10:24] <SuperMatt> Myrtti: sure, it's good for ensuring payday goes smoothly
[10:24] <MartijnVdS> so do I, but at this job they told me "Your contract starts on the first, but as that's a Friday, you won't have to come in until the 4th"
[10:25] <MartijnVdS> so I got a free day out of it! ;)
[10:25] <SuperMatt> nice work
[10:25] <popey> heh
[10:25] <popey> starting mid week means you dont have the commute pressure of monday morning
[10:25] <popey> and people being too busy on a monday to help you get started
[10:25] <popey> IMO
[10:25] <popey> IME
[10:25] <SuperMatt> fair enough
[10:25] <MartijnVdS> popey: We started my first Monday with a sprint planning. Worked great :)
[10:26] <bigcalm> Good morning peeps :)
[10:26] <popey> My first day at Canonical was me flying to Florida
[10:26] <SuperMatt> I'm sad that I hadn't heard back earlier in the week, tbh, because it would have been the crowning glory of that week
[10:26] <MartijnVdS> popey: nice!
[10:26] <SuperMatt> I had such an expic week running from last thursday to tuesday, I just wanted the job offer to top it off
[10:26] <SuperMatt> sads that it didn't happen like that
[10:45] <davmor2> Morning all
[10:45] <MartijnVdS> \o
[10:45] <MooDoo> morning davmor2
[10:54] <davmor2> MooDoo: is it snowing up norff yet?
[10:55] <MooDoo> nah just a bit damp
[11:04] <MooDoo> and cold in the morning.
[11:18] <directhex> did the latest chromium update break flash?
[11:25] <AlanBell> directhex: seems ok in 31.0.1650.63
[11:25] <dwatkins> if it did, it's Google's bundled version of Flash
[11:26] <dwatkins> directhex: what's breaking?
[11:26] <directhex> dwatkins, chromium uses flashplugin. chrome uses google flash
[11:26] <directhex> dwatkins, no flash works. it's not in about:plugins
[11:26] <dwatkins> oh sorry, misread your original comment directhex
[11:27] <dwatkins> what Ubuntu version?
[11:27] <dwatkins> also, I assume you installed Chromium via apt-get or similar.
[11:27] <dwatkins> I'm guessing it has a PPA, it's been a while since I installed it
[11:27] <directhex> ok, fixed it with more aggressive "kill" usage
[11:27] <dwatkins> woot
[11:28] <MartijnVdS> kill --with=fire
[11:28] <dwatkins> My laptop's currently running 12.04 to try and reproduce a flash problem where the "let me use the microphone" dialog can't be dismissed
[11:29] <ali1234> that is an old and well known bug
[11:29] <dwatkins> it is, ali1234? what should I search for to find out more, please?
[11:29] <ali1234> hang on i'm looking for the bug
[11:29] <dwatkins> thanks
[11:30] <bigcalm> davmor2: morning. Did you think the curries were a little thin last night?
[11:30] <ali1234> bug 995699
[11:30] <dwatkins> thanks ali1234 :)
[11:31] <ali1234> it's a compiz bug btw...
[11:33] <popey> bug 1260287
[11:33] <popey> does that lock up for everyone?
[11:33] <directhex> my penultimate ps3 game has arrived, courtesy amazon and popey
[11:33] <popey> moi?
[11:34] <directhex>      Selected Payment Method: Gift Certificate/Card (£16.99)
[11:34] <popey> oh ☻
[11:34] <popey> yay
[11:35] <popey> what did you get?
[11:35] <directhex>      Ni No Kuni - Wrath of the White Witch (PS3)
[11:35] <directhex> a JRPG animated by legendary japanese company Studio Ghibli
[11:35] <ali1234> whaaaaaaaaat?
[11:35] <MartijnVdS>   /me youtubes
[11:36] <MartijnVdS> it looks amazing
[11:36] <ali1234> i assume it's in english?
[11:36] <popey> heh, looks cute
[11:36] <popey> the trailer was english
[11:36] <directhex> if you're some kind of mainstream dubbed user, rather than subtitles... </hipster>
[11:37] <popey> heh
[11:37] <ali1234> loads of great games don't get translated at all :(
[11:37] <popey> My ex-boss has a daughter who learned Japanese after getting into the game culture.
[11:37] <ali1234> i might have to buy a ps3 for this
[11:37] <popey> She now works as a JP/EN translator I believe
[11:38] <popey> she's was big into jp DS games
[11:38] <davmor2> bigcalm: I think mine worked out to be a very expensive Curry :)
[11:38] <directhex> ali1234, i didn't see you as the type
[11:38] <ali1234> why not? i love stuff like this
[11:38] <bigcalm> davmor2: yeah, not my idea to just split the bill like that :S
[11:38] <directhex> ali1234, i'm ending my involvement with last-gen purchases. am done buying 360 games, and now only have one ps3 game left to buy before drawing a line under my ps3 collection
[11:39] <davmor2> bigcalm: we always do that it's just easier
[11:39] <daftykins> directhex: what's the last?
[11:39] <directhex> daftykins, the last of us!
[11:39] <bigcalm> davmor2: you need to have more expensive tastes :D
[11:39] <ali1234> like i said the other day, i only buy consoles when they are EOL, and therefore cheap
[11:39] <directhex> daftykins, the ordering decided for maximum irony
[11:40] <popey> yeah, i rarely buy new, ouya is the exception
[11:40] <daftykins> :D
[11:40] <daftykins> that doesn't work when you want to play games with friends
[11:40] <daftykins> *upon* said consoles
[11:40] <davmor2> bigcalm: but normally I pay maybe £5 extra, this time it was more like £10 but I don't really mind cause it was a nice evening for everyone which was the important bit, did Hayley have a nice time?
[11:41] <daftykins> davmor2: the dreaded divided curry cost, eh?
[11:41] <Myrtti> ali1234: yeah it's in English
[11:41] <bigcalm> davmor2: she did indeed. As did I :) Hayley is always worried before attending such events. After we left, she said she was so glad that she did attend
[11:41] <Myrtti> we bought it but it wasn't quite as fun as we thought
[11:42] <ali1234> aw :(
[11:42] <davmor2> bigcalm: good
[11:42] <Myrtti> it's basically glorified Pokemon
[11:42] <popey> We had Bunny Chow for tea last night.
[11:42] <popey> Kids loved it
[11:42] <Myrtti> or Final Fantasy or Lufia
[11:42] <popey> over xmas I plan to get the kids eating all kinds of different things
[11:42] <davmor2> popey: you chowed on bunny that's just not right ;)
[11:43] <popey> https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/70/Quarter_Mutton_Bunny_Chow.jpg
[11:43] <ali1234> popey: cannot reproduce your bug on saucy, also the UI isn't how you describe (there is no file menu)
[11:43] <Myrtti> popey: http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2013/dec/04/jack-monroe-budget-christmas
[11:43] <popey> oh, did I typo
[11:43] <popey> ali1234: how much music is in your folder?
[11:44] <popey> is it just madly busy then?
[11:44] <ali1234> eh... quite a lot, but not as much as serious mp3 collectors
[11:44] <popey> only 400 in mine
[11:44] <ali1234> 53GB
[11:44] <MooDoo> 20gb in mine
[11:45]  * popey leaves it running
[11:45] <ali1234> the UI remains responsive, new stuff popping up all the time
[11:45] <popey> mine instantly becomes unresponsive when I add a folder
[11:45] <bigcalm> 159GB
[11:45] <ali1234> oh btw... i'm using xubuntu :)
[11:45] <ali1234> maybe it's fighting with zeitgeist?
[11:46] <popey> wonder if I can get more output by running it manually via python?
[11:46] <ali1234> what if you add an empty folder or one with just 1 mp3 in it?
[11:46] <ali1234> i get lots of debug output about bad files too
[11:46] <popey> same
[11:46] <popey> same issue with 1 mp3
[11:46] <popey> i get no debug out
[11:48] <diddledan> I've got 31.55GB
[11:48] <popey> i am only trying this app because it claims to be able to get missing album art
[11:48] <popey> if there's another ubuntu app (which isn't amarok) which can do it, I'll try that
[11:49]  * diplo manually did all his with mp3tag.de ( 160gb's worth ) 
[11:49] <ali1234> rhythmbox can do it
[11:49] <diplo> But simples to do it now as I get new albums I do it
[11:49] <ali1234> it doesn't put it into the mp3 files though
[11:49] <popey> it can?
[11:49] <popey> oh
[11:49] <ali1234> yeah, it's a plugin
[11:49] <diddledan> diplo: that's a lotta giggles
[11:49] <popey> does it save a jpg in the folder thoug
[11:49] <popey> not stuff it an unrelated folder?
[11:50] <ali1234> no, it saves them all in ~/.cache/rhythmbox/albumartcache.dat or something
[11:50] <ali1234> also the plugin is bugged and i had to disable it
[11:50] <ali1234> it used to work though
[11:50] <popey> bah
[11:51] <diplo> That's why I use mp3tag, it writes the image to the mp3 so no seperate album art anywhere
[11:52] <daftykins> then you're just duplicating the image n times :(
[11:52] <daftykins> i used to do that, but i prefer to just have 'cover.jpg' within the album folder
[11:52] <diplo> Yep, but it's miniscule in size change
[11:52] <daftykins> a good media player can read that
[11:53] <daftykins> plus it's against the rules of certain communities i believe
[11:53] <diplo> diddledan: I've been sorting mp3's for last 10-15 years, I only listen to 10gb of it probably just don't get rid of anything :)
[11:53] <brobostigon> free mobile spotify, yay
[11:53] <diplo> Communities daftykins ?
[11:54] <diddledan> spotify is amazeballs
[11:54] <daftykins> diplo: yep such as what.cd
[11:54] <Myrtti> diddledan: +1000000
[11:54] <ali1234> does free spotify still have the silly "you can only listen to each song three times ever" limit?
[11:54] <foobarry> brobostigon: about time
[11:54] <brobostigon> foobarry: i agree, yes.
[11:54] <daftykins> i have never used spotify
[11:55] <Myrtti> I still pay for it though, turns out the artists are paid more if people with premium subscription listen to their songs
[11:55] <daftykins> not sure it'd be for me either
[11:55] <diddledan> I pay for it too
[11:55] <foobarry> i've spent < 20 quid on albums this year
[11:55] <foobarry> so paying for potify is not economical
[11:56] <diplo> Same here foobarry
[11:56] <Myrtti> foobarry: I pay for the convenience, space saving and not needing to worry if my harddrive borks
[11:56] <foobarry> i think i backed up my musics to google music
[11:56] <diddledan> I pay for the discovery of new tracks based on my listening past
[11:56] <foobarry> i'm kinda fussy
[11:56] <daftykins> that part could be handy
[11:56] <diplo> Not sure what.cd is daftykins but all my images come from amazon ( auto grabs them with mp3tag )
[11:56] <Myrtti> also I don't really listen to radio so following artists and playlist publishers exposes me to new music
[11:56] <diddledan> spotify radio is awesome
[11:57] <foobarry> anyone noticed that CDs on amazon are expensive again nowadays
[11:57] <diplo> I find new stuff from friends and Sky Music channels :)
[11:57] <awilkins> I usually buy music on CD from play.com these days
[11:57] <daftykins> diplo: private music torrent site - perhaps unsavoury for me to discuss further! anywho they have quite specific rules on things
[11:57] <foobarry> play.com is not play.com anymore though
[11:57] <foobarry> it became a marketplace site :(
[11:58] <awilkins> Not used it in a while
[11:58] <daftykins> diplo: lol sky music channels are still playing the same things for the last 15 years though!
[11:58] <diddledan> play.com is rakouten, or so they keep insisting
[11:58] <daftykins> rakouten?
[11:58] <diddledan> daftykins: no idea
[11:58] <foobarry> special move in street fighter
[11:58] <awilkins> Dammit, you beat me to it
[11:59] <diplo> Scuzz isn't, I like rock /metal as well as other stuff
[11:59] <daftykins> not sure how a site can be that :D
[11:59] <diplo> But tbh, I play 80's stuff more than anything
[11:59] <awilkins> They should so advertise themselves with that because it would work better than the stupid adverts on the side of buses
[11:59] <daftykins> diplo: heh i was thinking of Kerrang which is the top offender for what i said
[11:59] <foobarry> i just discovered that zavvi is still going
[11:59] <diplo> Definitly daftykins :)
[12:00] <daftykins> i just had a local gas co. employee come over to quote me for a new boiler, he's guessing around the £1,900 mark :(
[12:00] <popey> diplo: mp3tag is windows?
[12:00] <foobarry> youtube just presented me with a pair of boobs barely covered with hair on their front page (not signed in)
[12:01] <diddledan> foobarry: awesome
[12:01] <foobarry> :-|
[12:01] <diplo> Yep, but works perfectly under wine popey
[12:01] <diplo> Or did about 6 months ago when I last did the lot of them
[12:01] <popey> how manual is it?
[12:01] <popey> you have to do each track?
[12:01] <diplo> So I have my music in Music/Artist/Album/mp3's
[12:01] <popey> ditto
[12:02] <diplo> I basically select an album with all mp3s and go to top and get album art
[12:02] <diplo> Click the one you want from results
[12:02] <diplo> Click save
[12:02] <diplo> I did 160gb over a 2 week period on and off
[12:03] <diplo> Renamed all files to the same format 01 - songname.mp3
[12:03] <diplo> I guess I'm a little OCD on it :)
[12:04] <diplo> I'll install mp3tag now to test if it still works
[12:04] <diddledan> I wonder what time wordpress 3.8 is going to hit today
[12:05] <ali1234> 3.8? i only just upgraded to 3.7 :/
[12:05] <daftykins> ^my thoughts exactly
[12:05] <diddledan> ali1234: it was a short dev cycle
[12:05] <popey> meh, too manual
[12:06] <diplo> heh
[12:06] <diplo> It was the best I could find that did what I wanted, all others sucked
[12:06] <daftykins> Nexus 4 in macro shocker: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9pj000srr8nmph5/IMG_20131212_120144.jpg
[12:06] <diplo> I did find a CLI tag that did it all via musicbraninz and did a best guess
[12:06] <diplo> Worked 70% well
[12:06] <diplo> Can't remember the name off my head though
[12:14] <diplo> Help please :) - My mum has been asked to get a wireless mouse for my brother.. plays some games - FPS's etc.. what is the recommendation now
[12:14] <diplo> Last mouse I bought specifically for gaming was a MX510 :)
[12:14] <diplo> so out of harddware now
[12:14] <daftykins> take a look at something by Razer
[12:15] <dutchie> daftykins: http://beets.radbox.org/?
[12:15] <MartijnVdS> I've heard wireless mice + games = laggy
[12:15] <dutchie> er, diplo
[12:15] <daftykins> dutchie: perhaps not me that was after that?
[12:15] <daftykins> :)
[12:15] <dutchie> too many d people
[12:15] <daftykins> :D
[12:15] <diplo> Never had an issue so far with the one I have and that was a work one M-RAG97 Logitech thing
[12:16] <diddledan> o/
[12:16] <diplo> ta, looking
[12:16] <dutchie> re: mice: i'm very happy with my roccat kone xtd
[12:16] <daftykins> dratted d dudes doth detract from discussion daily
[12:16] <diplo> That could have been it dutchie !
[12:16] <dutchie> there are semi-official linux drivers too
[12:16] <diplo> Not required for linux, brother a windows boy through and through
[12:17] <diddledan> \o/ windows rockxs your sockxs
[12:17] <diddledan> I've been awake too long
[12:17] <diddledan> I've gone into randomness mode
[12:17] <daftykins> diddledan: you never leave it!
[12:18] <diplo> BBetter see what she wants to spend, I think it was more £30 :)
[12:22] <MartijnVdS> diddledan: what's wrong with that mode?
[12:23] <diddledan> MartijnVdS: not much
[12:26] <SuperMatt> popey: I have some questions about raid in btrfs, though I have a feeling it might be best for me to test this in vms
[12:27] <SuperMatt> imagine I had one disk with all my data on
[12:27] <popey> ya
[12:27] <SuperMatt> would it be simple to come along with two equally sized disks and raid5 all of them without having to remove data from the first disk?
[12:27] <popey> with no RAID?
[12:27] <popey> you can't raid 5 in btrfs yet
[12:27] <popey> only RAID 0 and 1
[12:27] <MartijnVdS> SuperMatt: to upgrade from btfs-with-no-raid to btrfs-with-raid5?
[12:28] <davmor2> diddledan: why would you use an operating system that throws rocks as your socks?  What did your socks do?
[12:28] <SuperMatt> ah, well popey has answered my question :P
[12:28] <popey> if the first disk was btrfs you can just add a second one and make it RAID 1
[12:28] <popey> and then run balance to spread the data around
[12:28] <popey> all online
[12:28] <SuperMatt> sure, raid 1 is just striped, right?
[12:28] <diddledan> davmor2: they're pretty pungent
[12:28] <popey> well, its RAID1-like
[12:28] <popey> its not RAID1
[12:28] <SuperMatt> sure sure
[12:28] <popey> basically every chunk is in two places
[12:28] <davmor2> diddledan: they wash then don't have windows throw rocks at them :D
[12:29] <popey> thats how I have my 12 disk btrfs volume, one big RAID1
[12:29] <diddledan> lol
[12:29] <SuperMatt> I see
[12:29] <SuperMatt> dang, I wish raid 5 worked
[12:29] <diddledan> raid6!
[12:29] <MartijnVdS> popey: managed in a smart way by btrfs right?
[12:30] <MartijnVdS> popey: so every file has *2* copies on the array, not 12
[12:30] <SuperMatt> nm, diddledan 5 or 6, doesn't matter with 3 drives ;)
[12:30] <diddledan> >.<
[12:31] <SuperMatt> tbh, I need to look at what disks I have and see what the best option is for me
[12:31] <SuperMatt> that'll be a job for this weekend
[12:31] <popey> yes MartijnVdS
[12:31] <popey> I haven't run balance for ages, might kick one off
[12:32] <diddledan> goo on, popey, squeeze one out
[12:33] <MartijnVdS> ಠ_ಠ
[12:33] <SuperMatt> https://cloud.supermatt.net/public.php?service=files&t=1ce33ea8f0afd2d7f7621b0fb8b5dceb
[12:33] <diddledan> if nothing else it'll make a fancy light show
[12:33] <popey> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6561123/
[12:33] <popey> away she goes
[12:33] <SuperMatt> that's how my disks look now, I just wanna whip 3 of them out and put them in a nice way in to my n54l
[12:33] <SuperMatt> could do four of them
[12:33] <diddledan> I used to enjoy taking a drive out of a hotswap array and reinsert to watch the lightshow as it rebuilds
[12:34] <SuperMatt> I *really* don't enjoy anything that involves messing around with my data D:
[12:34] <diddledan> popey: how big is your array in raw terms and then how much formatted+raid?
[12:35] <popey> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6561140/ \o/
[12:35] <popey> it's 12x2TB
[12:35] <diddledan> wow
[12:35] <MartijnVdS> popey: did you add those 4 in the middle later?
[12:35] <diddledan> that's quite an expensive rig then
[12:35] <MartijnVdS> with the lower usage?
[12:35] <popey> yes
[12:35] <popey> hence me now balancing
[12:35] <MartijnVdS> still no auto-balance then
[12:36] <popey> i think it does
[12:36] <popey> but you only see the effect after some time
[12:36] <MartijnVdS> and only on write, probably
[12:36] <diddledan> can I ask what you've got it all wired into? as in the external caddy and the drive machine?
[12:36] <popey> it doesn't manually move stuff about, but prioritises the emptier disks
[12:36] <popey> yeah
[12:36] <diddledan> I seem to recall you've got it on a microserver?
[12:36] <popey> yes
[12:36] <daftykins> could there be an fstab option to tell it to do things?
[12:36] <popey> microserver and 8-way array external
[12:37] <diddledan> nice
[12:37] <popey> https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/FAQ#Do_I_need_to_run_a_balance_regularly.3F
[12:38] <popey> haha, syslog getting spammed http://paste.ubuntu.com/6561152/
[12:38] <diddledan> eep
[12:38] <diddledan> it better be buffered
[12:38] <MartijnVdS> popey: also, dmesg -T :)
[12:39] <diddledan> otherwise it'll nuke your rebalance with syslog writes overtaking it
[12:39] <popey> yeah, i use dmesg -T but that's a multitail of syslog
[12:39] <popey> diddledan: not a problem
[12:39] <popey> it can balance a disk which is in use
[12:39] <popey> and my / is on another disk anyway ☻
[12:40] <popey>  / is on an SSD
[12:40] <diddledan> fairy nuff
[12:41] <diddledan> I think I need to go in search of feeding time
[12:41] <popey> [Thu Dec 12 12:41:22 2013] Kernel BUG at ffffffffa015b0d2 [verbose debug info unavailable]
[12:41] <popey> oof
[12:41] <diddledan> eep
[12:42] <diddledan> that not nice
[12:42] <popey> http://paste.ubuntu.com/6561172/
[12:42] <MartijnVdS> eep
[12:42] <diddledan> I'm scared for your data now
[12:43] <diddledan> invalid opcode? that's an odd one
[12:44] <diddledan> tht means it tried to execute data?
[12:44] <popey> I'm sure it'll be fine ☻
[12:44] <directhex> i don't think btrfs is remotely production-ready yet
[12:44] <diddledan> tell that to oracle
[12:45] <directhex> hey oracle: you suck
[12:45] <popey> tell that to Jolla
[12:45] <directhex> hey jolla: you suck
[12:45] <popey> ☻
[12:45] <diddledan> isn't btrfs an oracle baby?
[12:45] <directhex> here's the thing about Enterprise vendors and filesystems
[12:45] <popey> Chris left Oracle
[12:45] <diddledan> aah
[12:45] <xnox> diddledan: FusionIO
[12:45] <popey> Works for FusionIO
[12:45] <directhex> we used to have a 1 rack multi-terabyte array running ReiserFS
[12:45] <directhex> as the only supported FS
[12:46] <diddledan> directhex: murder trial put an end to that one
[12:46] <ali1234> popey: they inherited it from meego
[12:46] <diddledan> for a long time reiser was THE filesystem everyone else aspired to be
[12:47] <diddledan> then the police came and everyone wanted to be NOT reiser
[12:47] <awilkins> Used to run the root of my MythTV box on reiserfs
[12:47] <awilkins> The media storage has always been xfs though
[12:47] <diddledan> awilkins: xfs is a pretty solid system
[12:48] <popey> ali1234: true
[12:48] <diddledan> online fsck ftw
[12:48] <ali1234> not that that makes it okay... but it's even more funny that intel wanted to ship it years ago
[12:49] <popey> I still chuckle at Robert Carr who came along to his first UDS with his Mum (as he was 15) and stood up to give a presentation about compiz, but his (reiser4) home partition fragged between standing up and getting on stage.
[12:49] <brobostigon> tim martin, owner of jd wheatherspoon was just on daily politics.
[12:49] <popey> lots of OOOOOHHHHH! from the audience
[12:49] <popey> as he plugged laptop into projector and all everyone saw was reiserfs errors
[12:49] <MartijnVdS> ricerfs
[12:49] <popey> funroll loops
[12:50] <MartijnVdS> exactly ;)
[12:50] <directhex> they sell those at tesco now, i the american imports aisle
[12:50] <directhex> wait, that's froot loops
[12:50] <diddledan> don't remind me that I admin gentoo servers, please!
[12:50] <MartijnVdS> popey: was that Seville then?
[12:50] <popey> ya
[12:50] <popey> you were there ☻
[12:50] <popey> the place with the smelly drains
[12:50] <awilkins> hah, my MythTV box used to be Gentoo
[12:51] <MartijnVdS> popey: and the ice cold basement & 35° weather
[12:51] <popey> Install Gentoo! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjGSMUep6_4
[12:51] <MartijnVdS> popey: and good food!
[12:51] <awilkins> Gentoo used to be the easiest way to get the bleeding-edge kernel modules that you needed to run my TV tuner hardware
[12:51] <awilkins> And you learn a lot
[12:52] <MartijnVdS> awilkins: I used slackware for that. In 1996-7
[12:52] <awilkins> You also spend a LOT of time watching compiler scrollback
[12:52] <MartijnVdS> I still do that with openwrt
[12:52] <awilkins> I'm still on White Russian
[12:52] <MartijnVdS> I'm on Barrier Breaker now
[12:53] <MartijnVdS> i.e. trunk
[12:53] <awilkins> My hardware has a quirk and I don't want to risk annoying it
[12:53] <MartijnVdS> awilkins: what kind of device do you have?
[12:54] <awilkins> MartijnVdS, It's an old Buffalo G54
[12:54] <awilkins> MartijnVdS, Broadcom internally I think
[12:54] <MartijnVdS> awilkins: similar to the Linksys 54G devices probably?
[12:55] <awilkins> MartijnVdS, It's this one : http://wiki.openwrt.org/oldwiki/openwrtdocs/hardware/buffalo/wbr_g54
[12:57] <awilkins> The fiddly stuff noted at the top of the page puts me off reflashing it
[12:57] <MartijnVdS> awilkins:                 # Buffalo WBR-B11 and Buffalo WBR-G54
[12:57] <MartijnVdS> awilkins: its switch config defaults are listed in the code still
[12:57] <MartijnVdS> (in trunk)
[12:57] <daftykins> i've got dd or open on my WBR-G54L :D
[12:57] <daftykins> i think it died, then flashing it fixed it!
[12:58] <awilkins> If I flash it then it dies I'm stuck with the Virgin "Super Hub"
[12:58]  * MartijnVdS has a TP-Link WDR4300
[12:58] <awilkins> After I stopped running irssi sessions on it, it was a lot more reliable
[12:59] <awilkins> Very happy with it's ability to WOL my boxes at home
[12:59] <awilkins> And act as an SSH VPN box
[13:00] <MartijnVdS> I get fibre to the home -> media converter -> gigabit ethernet (limited to 100mbit at the ISP's end)
[13:00] <awilkins> Ah, Dutch internet
[13:00] <foobarry> lol. on facebook "HP printer special edition". one comment "the photo is of a lexmark printer". reply: "the box says HP"
[13:00] <daftykins> anyone had any experience with the Canon 'CAPT' printer driver?
[13:00] <MartijnVdS> awilkins: then the weird starts: I need to set up a PPPoE session on VLAN 6
[13:08] <dwatkins> ali1234: thanks for the link, I worked around the issue with Unutiy in 2D mode, where the permissions dialog can be clicked [on this laptop]
[13:09] <ali1234> u nutty?
[13:09] <daftykins> ubnuttu
[13:11] <dwatkins> haha, Unity of course
[13:11] <dwatkins> nautilus then crashed, but I can't reproduce that issue
[13:12] <dwatkins> perhaps nautilus doesn't like me logging out when booted from a USB stick
[13:12] <dwatkins> (and back in again)
[13:41] <knightwise> any Whoovians in today ?
[13:42] <diddledan> nanooo nanooo
[13:49] <foobarry> watched donnie darko again last week. great film. couldn't remember anything about it as had been over 10 yrs
[13:50] <MooDoo> knightwise: I love who
[13:51] <dwatkins> me two
[13:51] <diddledan> I thrice
[13:52] <diddledan> gotta love his companion mindy
[13:52] <dwatkins> roll on xmas
[13:53] <popey> hah
[13:54] <MartijnVdS> knightwise: Who! Can't wait for the christmas episode :)_
[13:54] <diddledan> the 50th anniversary blew my mind
[13:54] <foobarry> knightwise: got alpine working with office 365?
[13:55] <MartijnVdS> diddledan: it was great, wasn't it?
[13:56] <daftykins> foobarry: i saw that for the first time recently, i figured there was something familiar about the guy - i'd already seen 'Source Code' which he's also in :)
[13:59] <knightwise> foobarry: nope, not yet
[13:59] <knightwise> only Gmail
[14:15] <Laney> czajkowski: which FOSDEM hotel are you staying at?
[14:15]  * Laney is now considering going
[14:17] <MartijnVdS> Laney: just for czajkowski ?
[14:17] <Laney> she was telling me about it a while ago
[14:17] <Laney> you could give me a suggestion if you have one
[14:18] <MooDoo> woohoo amiga 500 emulator in the browser :) http://pnacl-amiga-emulator.appspot.com/
[14:18] <MartijnVdS> Laney: suggestion for what?
[14:18] <Laney> a decent hotel for fosdem
[14:18] <MartijnVdS> I have no idea. I usually take the train there for only one day
[14:18] <MartijnVdS> if I go
[14:18] <Laney> k
[14:27] <MooDoo> ooo fosdem
[14:46] <MooDoo> ,
[14:46] <MartijnVdS>  !
[14:48] <MooDoo> lol typo, didn't think any one would notice lol
[14:52] <bigcalm> Careful, you'll put us into a comma coma
[14:52] <MartijnVdS> comma chameleon?
[14:55] <MooDoo> http://elite.frontier.co.uk/ OMG
[14:56] <MartijnVdS> oooh
[14:57] <MartijnVdS> £200 to get into the alpha
[14:57] <MooDoo> well not interested in that, will just wait for the game
[14:57] <MartijnVdS> £50 for beta access -- once it's beta
[14:57] <MooDoo> but still OMG
[14:57] <MartijnVdS> and £35 for the final game
[14:58] <MartijnVdS> MooDoo: those videos.. whoa
[14:59] <MooDoo> MartijnVdS: awesome big elite fanboy here
[14:59] <foobarry> not playing on my pc :(
[14:59] <MartijnVdS> MooDoo: I've only played Frontier, but I was *glued* to my PC for weeks when I did
[14:59] <MartijnVdS> loved that game
[14:59] <MooDoo> :)
[14:59] <diplo> foobarry: http://youtu.be/1QC3aHzVnlQ
[14:59] <foobarry> wow, is this game footage or cut scene
[14:59] <diplo> Is the link in the page
[15:00] <MartijnVdS> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VE8B4KptyVI
[15:00] <foobarry> looks a bit "busy"
[15:01] <MartijnVdS> foobarry: of course they're only showing the "cool" parts in the video
[15:01] <MooDoo> well if the graphics are like that through the whole game, it'll be immense
[15:02] <foobarry> no linux version though
[15:02] <MartijnVdS> MooDoo: if it's like Elite or Frontier, most will be procedurally generated, with some basic hand-made star systems
[15:03] <diplo> Looks good to me, I may even be interested :)
[15:03] <diddledan> what did I miss?
[15:03] <MooDoo> diddledan: new version of elite
[15:03] <diddledan> aha
[15:04] <diddledan> is it like kerbel space program? :-p
[15:04] <MartijnVdS> diddledan: it's more like the Death Star battle scene in Star Wars
[15:04] <diddledan> hehe
[15:04] <diddledan> complete with flying into the spinny hole
[15:05] <diddledan> (at least the original was)
[15:05] <awilkins> That's in-engine
[15:05] <awilkins> Very very shiny
[15:06] <awilkins> The main thing that concerns me about the new Elite is the hitscan weapons
[15:07] <MartijnVdS> awilkins: what like the laser in the old ones?
[15:07] <awilkins> MartijnVdS, yup
[15:07] <TheOpenSourcerer> Useful feature - New offline mode in Google Drive spreadsheet app: http://googledrive.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/newsheets.html?m=1
[15:08] <awilkins> Although the flight mechanics look to have been made less realistic which is good
[15:08] <awilkins> The combination of Newtonian flight and long-ranged hitscan laser weapons made Elite 2 and 3 no fun at all
[15:09] <foobarry> ok, jumbo frames on vmware. vm has mtu9000, switch vlan has jumbo enabled, vmware vswitch jumbo enabled...what else i need?
[15:09] <awilkins> You just circled each other like two tennis balls on a rubber bungee cord until one of you connected with your laser and snuffed the other one out into a cloud of ash
[15:09] <MartijnVdS> foobarry: host network adapter needs mtu9000 probably
[15:10] <foobarry> hmm i thought vsphere 5.5 did that for me..i'll check
[15:10] <MartijnVdS> awilkins: ash and a container of slaves^Wanimal meat
[15:10] <awilkins> The alternate battle outcome was that you collided with something that had a big shield and went "Whuf."
[15:11] <foobarry> vmnic5  0000:0c:00.01 elxnet      Up   10000Mbps Full  9000   Emulex Corporation IBM OCm11102-F2-X Emulex OneConnect 2-port PCIe 10GbE Converged Network Adapter
[15:15] <foobarry> strangely the emulex mgmt interface says the opposite
[15:15] <shauno> accidentally got the IR cam instead of the regular cam for the pi.  Downsides, I'm now purple.  Upsides, I now know where all the optical sensors on my roomba are :)
[15:18] <MartijnVdS> shauno: does it also work on remote controls?
[15:18] <awilkins> IR cam is just a standard cam with a different filter no?
[15:19] <awilkins> Are the framerates on normal CCD sensors good enough to decode remotes?
[15:22] <MartijnVdS> awilkins: I don't know actually
[15:24] <shauno> MartijnVdS: yeah.  stroboscopic flashlights :)
[15:24] <AlanBell> awilkins: it doesn't have a filter at all
[15:24] <AlanBell> so it does night vision and other interesting things
[15:25] <shauno> right, it's the regular camera with the IR cutout removed.  I would say "just", but it seems removing the IR cutout from the regular model is a challenging, destructive process
[15:25] <AlanBell> the wii bar for the wiimotes is also IR, a wiimote is basically a 1024x1024 IR camera
[15:26]  * awilkins is the guy who worked that out first on Slashdot
[15:26] <awilkins> "Beacon bar"
[15:26] <awilkins> (some other wag then said "Bacon bar... mmmmmm"
[15:27] <SuperMatt> could people please do me a favour and let me know if port 80 is open on 31.222.179.43?
[15:27] <awilkins> Nope
[15:27] <SuperMatt> any more please?
[15:27] <SuperMatt> I'd like as many results as possible
[15:27] <MartijnVdS> telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
[15:28] <AlanBell> doesn't work for me SuperMatt

[15:37] <awilkins> Works now
[15:37] <awilkins> Getting a big monochrome ENGINE
[15:37] <SuperMatt> goodo
[15:37] <SuperMatt> thanks
[15:39] <MartijnVdS> SuperMatt: I get a connection now as well
[15:39] <MartijnVdS> nginx responds
[15:39] <SuperMatt> huzzah
[15:39] <SuperMatt> it should be going nginx -> varnish cache -> apache
[15:39] <MartijnVdS> ("nginx? I thought I'd installed lighttpd!")
[15:40] <SuperMatt> I know how to use nginx, so...
[15:40] <diddledan> varnish behind nginx?!
[15:40] <SuperMatt> sure
[15:40] <diddledan> is that the right way about?
[15:40] <SuperMatt> varnish doesn't do https
[15:40] <diddledan> aah
[15:40] <SuperMatt> so you need to terminate the ssl somehow
[15:41] <diddledan> so nginx is just an ssl arbitrator then
[15:41] <SuperMatt> yup
[15:41] <diddledan> in this context
[15:41] <SuperMatt> I think I'm going to suggest that actually all jpgs, etc go through the nginx/varnish level of stuff
[15:42] <diddledan> that makes sense - apache is too heavy to be bothering with static assets that can be served much faster by the cache or intermediary layer
[15:42] <SuperMatt> indeed
[15:42] <SuperMatt> so for each site, If I have www. and media., everything should be cool
[15:42] <diddledan> nginx is very speedy at static iirc
[15:42] <diddledan> and varnish is good at caching
[15:43] <diddledan> so I'd use varnish to cache the application pages and nginx to run the static and ssl
[15:44] <dwatkins> what about stunnel?
[15:45] <SuperMatt> diddledan: that idea of using varnish for the static is because it doesn't have to read from disk
[15:45] <SuperMatt> plus, you really don't want to cache any of your php/python/ruby/whatever
[15:46] <dwatkins> if you're using ssl, surely you shouldn't cache anything
[15:46] <czajkowski> Laney: http://www.scandichotels.fi/Hotels/Belgia/Brysseli/Scandic-Grand-Place/
[15:46] <MartijnVdS> depends.. most static images and js should be safely cacheable
[15:46] <MartijnVdS> dwatkins: be sure to use encrypted storage though
[15:47] <dwatkins> I guess I'm thinking of proxy servers, they shouldn't cache ssl, clearly
[15:47] <dwatkins> ssl encrypted traffic
[15:48] <MartijnVdS> dwatkins: I think this is a reverse proxy on the server end though
[15:48] <SuperMatt> if your serving jpgs over ssl, you might as well have them cached
[15:48] <diddledan> dwatkins, if the cache control headers are set to allow caching then there's no reason not to do so
[15:48] <MartijnVdS> client-side HTTP proxies usually use CONNECT (sort of like tcp passthrough) for SSL -- they can't see inside the SSL stream
[15:49] <diddledan> it's up to the app developer to decide what to allow to be cached and what not
[15:50] <dwatkins> ah yes, the "CONNECT method" which confuses people from being called CONNECT when you're trying to connect.
[15:50] <diddledan> the only issue comes with a proxy between "application" and "user" that wants to cache because they won't have the ssl certificate to prove authenticity of the data
[15:50] <dwatkins> yeah, that's fun
[15:51] <diddledan> that is until you discover that some taiwanese ssl authority has given out carte-blance certificates (which did happen recently)
[15:51] <SuperMatt> diddledan: unless you're an network admin and can install a new cert on everyone's machines
[15:52] <SuperMatt> thus being able to sniff facebook passwords over ssl \o/
[15:52] <dwatkins> naughty
[15:52] <SuperMatt> I know right ;)
[15:53] <SuperMatt> and it's exactly what governments can do \o/
[15:53] <dwatkins> SuperMatt: do you also have your coffee machine connected to the UPS?
[15:53] <dwatkins> ...or just the aircon
[15:53] <SuperMatt> I don't drink coffee
[15:53] <SuperMatt> or tea
[15:53] <SuperMatt> or anything hot really
[15:54] <dwatkins> the guy at the desk next to me is building a tie fighter in "hard mode", without opening the bag (of Lego)
[15:54] <dwatkins> we have a team advent calendar
[15:55] <SuperMatt> sorry, what?
[15:55] <SuperMatt> how is he building it?
[15:55] <dwatkins> in the bag, without breaking it open
[15:55] <SuperMatt> but surely it comes in multiple bags
[15:55] <dwatkins> nah, these are tiny models
[15:55] <SuperMatt> that's how I remember my lego working
[15:55] <dwatkins> about 10 pieces each
[15:55] <SuperMatt> oh, lego calendar?
[15:56] <dwatkins> yeah
[15:56] <SuperMatt> I might give that a go tomorrow then :D
[15:57] <dwatkins> http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yZIFo8MpHT4/Uh-Ri0dGxGI/AAAAAAAAj_g/eK9ybolO5TU/s1600/LEGO+Star+Wars+2013+Advent+Calendar+02.jpg
[15:57] <diddledan> meh, I haven't got a calendar this year
[15:59] <diplo> Not had a calendar since I was probably 12?
[15:59] <SuperMatt> as an adult, you must remember you can buy your own :P
[16:00] <diplo> I buy them for my kids..
[16:00] <dwatkins> We get enough chocolate at work, so I bought the department a Lego one.
[16:00]  * diplo is going to spend the last hour of work sorting Xmas cards I think, to tired!
[16:47]  * dwatkins WD40s the postroom door, calls the day a success and heads home
[17:03] <Laney> czajkowski: ye beaut
[17:04] <czajkowski> Laney: awwww :p
[17:04] <Laney> not sure why you linked me to a finnish page though
[17:12] <Laney> czajkowski: seems kind of far away?
[17:12] <Laney> or are all of the ok hotels in the city centre?
[17:13] <czajkowski> Laney: yup all city center
[17:13] <czajkowski> it's about a 7 min walk from the main bar we go to
[17:13] <czajkowski> and a 5 min walk from nearest bus stop
[17:13] <czajkowski> so it's very good
[19:54] <Laney> steakkkkkkkkk

[20:06] <daftykins> i want to get curry but ^
[20:07] <popey> hah
[20:07] <popey> we argue over who is going to get the wine bottle from the kitchen when we have one of the cats like that
[20:07] <MartijnVdS> daftykins: don't you have curry delivery services in your area? ;)
[20:09] <daftykins> MartijnVdS: haha, my take-away is about 30 seconds from my door :)
[20:09] <daftykins> popey: :D
[20:09] <MartijnVdS> \o/ 13 hours before landing
[20:10] <daftykins> which landing is this? :)
[20:10] <MartijnVdS> daftykins: My landing at Gatwick :)
[20:11] <daftykins> 13hrs O_O where have you been sir?
[20:11] <MartijnVdS> daftykins: Take-off is in 12
[20:11] <daftykins> haha
[20:11] <daftykins> i wondered if you were doing that
[20:12] <MartijnVdS> daftykins: going to this: http://www.nerinapallot.com/shop2/?productDetails.cfm?Basket=1@,&ProductID=1802
[20:12] <daftykins> nice :D
[20:13] <daftykins> my parents are going to see Black Sabbath this weekend, i'm quite jealous
[20:13] <MartijnVdS> they still exist?!
[20:13] <daftykins> it's why i have this cat here as a guest right now :D
[20:13] <MartijnVdS> (BS, not your parents)
[20:13] <daftykins> XD
[20:13] <daftykins> either/or
[20:13] <daftykins> yeah they only popped out another album the other day
[20:14] <MartijnVdS> daftykins: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmPVS_iGK9U & http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zD6F9vNEmRs
[20:14] <MartijnVdS> I've been to Nerina's concerts before :)
[20:15] <daftykins> popey: just got offered android 4.4.2 on my Nexus 4
[20:16] <MartijnVdS> daftykins: I installed that manually yesterday. Can't find any obvious differences with 4.4.1
[20:16] <popey> yeah, just got it on my n7
[20:16] <daftykins> MartijnVdS: ah i never saw .1
[20:17] <popey> and the other n7 too
[20:17] <MartijnVdS> daftykins: you should click those video links :P
[20:17] <popey> slow download is slow
[20:17] <daftykins> since 4.4 i've noticed most apps that should stop the phone sleeping, fail to
[20:17] <popey> i use wakey
[20:17] <popey> to force it to stay on
[20:17] <daftykins> MartijnVdS: i want to, but i feel my laptop's tinny speakers won't do it justice - also the power button *alone* on my HTPC's remote doesn't work =|
[20:18] <MartijnVdS> daftykins: it was recorded using a camera's internal mic.
[20:18] <MartijnVdS> daftykins: tinny speakers won't make it worse ;)
[20:18] <daftykins> oh they're live? :)
[20:18] <MartijnVdS> yeah, they're videos I made at previous concerts :)
[20:19] <daftykins> N4 seems as bad as iPads for slowly updating @_@
[20:19] <daftykins> i like the fingerless gloves XD
[20:20] <MartijnVdS> daftykins: it was the middle of May, in Cornwall. It gets cold near the ocean!
[20:21] <MartijnVdS> it was *beautiful* out there though, at Minack Theatre (and the rest of Porthcurno)
[20:21] <daftykins> says you to an islander ;)

[21:18] <foobarry> :-|
[21:18] <foobarry> parents of nine-year olds were complaining about the vicar educating the kids
[21:33] <daftykins> :O
[21:33] <MartijnVdS> ಠ_ಠ
[21:43] <foobarry> i have a feeling my son will tell everyone at nursery
[21:44] <foobarry> everytime santa gets mentioned my boy says HE'S JUST PRETEND
[21:44] <foobarry> just to remind me
[21:46] <daftykins> lmao
[21:46] <daftykins> i'm not sure how i'd deal with that issue if i had kids
[21:46] <daftykins> generational deceit D:
[21:47] <MartijnVdS> I'm also not sure..
[21:47] <MartijnVdS> well "santa" nobody believes in here
[21:47] <MartijnVdS> but "Sinterklaas", whose presents come on Dec 5th.. every kid
[21:58] <daftykins> MartijnVdS: he turns up early!
[22:02] <shauno> I think ours comes late .. most the continent seems to have a consensus
[22:02] <MartijnVdS> daftykins: santa claus is even named after our Sinterklaas
[22:04] <daftykins> shauno: ah :)
[22:06] <shauno> I also found out in parts of europe, santa doesn't do the naughty/nice thing.  he arrives with a furry devil-type thing.  santa does the nice kids, and the furry hands out potatos to the naughty kids
[22:07] <daftykins> shauno: wouldn't that be like any other year in Ireland? ;)
[22:07] <popey> my daughter figured it out a year or more back, and she's good at keeping secrets, so Sam still believes
[22:07] <daftykins> potatoes all 'round!
[22:07] <shauno> apparently there's no potatoes and it's my fault.
[22:07] <daftykins> no potatoes!?
