| bigcalm | Good morning peeps :) | 09:24 |
| MartijnVdS | \o | 09:25 |
| bigcalm | Hi MartijnVdS, good holiday? | 09:26 |
| MartijnVdS | working today | 09:27 |
| MartijnVdS | going home early though | 09:27 |
| bigcalm | But did you get some holiday before today? | 09:28 |
| bigcalm | Ah, that's good | 09:28 |
| MartijnVdS | bigcalm: yeah, from Christmas -> Sunday | 09:28 |
| bigcalm | Magic :) | 09:28 |
| MartijnVdS | and tomorrow as well | 09:28 |
| === Carlos is now known as Guest67824 | ||
| bigcalm | "complaints to /dev/null" always makes me smile | 09:48 |
| bigcalm | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiSn2JuDQSc | 09:50 |
| MartijnVdS | bigcalm: did you see the video about time yesterday? | 09:50 |
| bigcalm | I don't think I did | 09:50 |
| MartijnVdS | bigcalm: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5wpm-gesOY | 09:51 |
| bigcalm | I've had to deal with this horribleness | 09:54 |
| MartijnVdS | me too. Just use unixtime everywhere and change it when displaying :) | 09:56 |
| bigcalm | Sadly not that easy | 09:57 |
| MartijnVdS | it's a good start usually | 09:57 |
| bigcalm | Yes | 09:57 |
| bigcalm | Thanks for showing me that video :) | 10:02 |
| MartijnVdS | I like how he becomes angrier and angrier towards the end :) | 10:02 |
| dwatkins | haha, fun with timezones - much like my day job | 10:03 |
| dwatkins | Mostly I encounter people in the US who don't seem to appreciate that the UK is 8 hours ahead of them, occasionally the opposite. | 10:03 |
| MartijnVdS | just do everything on .beats | 10:03 |
| dwatkins | everyone should use GMT epoch seconds | 10:04 |
| bigcalm | What's the alternative to screen that everybody loves? | 10:06 |
| dwatkins | tmux | 10:06 |
| MartijnVdS | byobu + tmux | 10:06 |
| MartijnVdS | I can't get used to tmux on its own | 10:07 |
| bigcalm | Eh? | 10:07 |
| MartijnVdS | byobu is a wrapper around screen/tmux (configurable) | 10:07 |
| bigcalm | Ah, okay | 10:07 |
| bigcalm | Installing byobu installs tmux | 10:07 |
| MartijnVdS | yes that's the default these days | 10:08 |
| MartijnVdS | as tmux is actually maintained, while screen is almost dead | 10:08 |
| MartijnVdS | also, tmux supports Unicode 6 characters.. screen breaks those long UTF-8 sequences | 10:08 |
| MartijnVdS | 😎 | 10:08 |
| bigcalm | To connect to a serial device, I could do something like "screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200" | 10:09 |
| MartijnVdS | yes, that's the only thing I use screen for now :) | 10:09 |
| bigcalm | Replacing screen with byobu doesn't work | 10:09 |
| dwatkins | I'd switch to tmux on the machine I run my irssi session from, but that would mean closing irssi, which I've done about five times in as many years. | 10:09 |
| bigcalm | dwatkins: you don't like applying new kernels then? | 10:10 |
| dwatkins | bigcalm: it's not my server - it's an OpenBSD machine run by a friend | 10:10 |
| dwatkins | He does update it occasionally. | 10:10 |
| bigcalm | Aha, byobu-screen will force the use of screen :) | 10:10 |
| bigcalm | Waiting for a delivery. Need the loo. Chances that delivery happens when I'm unavailable? 1:1 | 10:16 |
| dwatkins | take the doorbell with you | 10:17 |
| brobostigon | good morning everyone. | 10:17 |
| Laney | mmm dspam | 10:19 |
| daubers | Morning | 10:41 |
| mapps | mornijg | 10:48 |
| foobarry | is there anything so impatient as an unwell baby? | 11:05 |
| dwatkins | a teenager | 11:34 |
| Laney | oh yay, it's freenode global notice spam day | 11:39 |
| KrimZon | and by yay I presume you mean "**** OFF" | 11:40 |
| Laney | no comment | 11:42 |
| foobarry | i think i turned off those kind of messages | 12:01 |

| DJones | Hmmh, great advert for Currys sales assistants, my 73 year non-technical mum went into currys to look at tablets and came away realising that she knew more about them than the sales staff | 15:00 |
| penguin42 | haha | 15:02 |
| foobarry | wow | 15:06 |
| foobarry | picked up 4 airfix kits from nearby aldi @ £3.49 each :D | 15:09 |
| foobarry | including paints etc, will be great for indoctrinating nephews into a noble hobby | 15:10 |
| popey | yay | 15:11 |
| gordonjcp | DJones: heh | 15:15 |
| gordonjcp | DJones: don't underestimate non-technical 70-something mums | 15:15 |
| gordonjcp | DJones: my mum installed Ubuntu 11.04 on her laptop a couple of years ago | 15:15 |
| gordonjcp | she bought it second-hand from a friend of hers, it had XP on it, she hated XP and wanted Ubuntu like on her desktop machine | 15:16 |
| gordonjcp | like she frequently says "if you can read, you can cook", so she set about finding out how to make a USB stick and install Ubuntu | 15:16 |
| gordonjcp | took about an hour and a half, including the time it took to pop into town for a blank USB stick | 15:16 |
| gordonjcp | her broadband is way faster than mine | 15:17 |
| foobarry | nice story about original doge http://www.theverge.com/2013/12/31/5248762/doge-meme-rescue-dog-wow | 15:26 |
| dwatkins | Myrtti: http://www.theverge.com/2013/12/31/5248762/doge-meme-rescue-dog-wow | 15:31 |

| directhex | such article | 15:32 |
| dwatkins | very read | 15:32 |
| directhex | much words | 15:32 |
| popey | I can't really quantify how much I don't care about Doge | 15:34 |
| directhex | popey, much disinterest | 15:42 |
| dwatkins | very dodge | 15:42 |
| foobarry | popey> I can't really quantify how much I don't care about dogs* | 15:46 |
| MartijnVdS | doges? | 15:47 |
| foobarry | my dog ate something sharp and had to go to vet on xmas eve :( | 15:47 |
| foobarry | blood everywhere, puke and poo | 15:47 |
| MartijnVdS | a spicy curry? | 15:47 |
| foobarry | piece of uncooked pasta | 15:47 |
| foobarry | or a crisp | 15:47 |
| penguin42 | you wouldn't have thought a crisp could screw a dog up that badly? | 15:48 |
| foobarry | yeah | 15:48 |
| foobarry | blood stains are on the stair carpet still | 15:48 |
| foobarry | it was everywhere | 15:48 |
| directhex | freenode ¬_¬ | 15:56 |
| MartijnVdS | stahp! freenode! | 15:57 |
| DJones | foobarry: Did the crisp/pasta cut the insude of the dogs throat? | 15:58 |
| MooDoo | hello all | 16:04 |
| popey | Happy new year | 16:04 |
| dwatkins | yet again, Ubuntu saves an otherwise disastrous day | 16:04 |
| MooDoo | same to you popey :) and everyone else! | 16:04 |
| dwatkins | well, sort of - a discussion on Wacom tablets and tablet PCs was useful to me | 16:04 |
| * MartijnVdS checks popey's time zone | 16:05 | |
| dogmatic69 | anyone hacked a tivo? looking to replace the 500GB hdd with 3TB / 4TB | 16:14 |
| dogmatic69 | from what I read its as simple as remove and replace, with option of copying existing data over first | 16:14 |
| dogmatic69 | was thinking something like dd | 16:16 |
| penguin42 | I don't know about Tivo, but can it cope with the large drives - probably 4kb sectors? | 16:17 |
| directhex | and GPT, if it boots from the drive | 16:22 |
| directhex | even if it doesn't boot from it, GPT is needed for drives >2T to be partitionable | 16:22 |
| dogmatic69 | penguin42: the new ones apparently can use > 2GB | 16:25 |
| dogmatic69 | seems like there is an out the box bootable mini linux type disk to use that will do it all | 16:25 |
| foobarry | DJones: doges stomach | 16:33 |
| foobarry | i just purchased my annual train ticket :( £1208 i dont want to spend after xmas | 16:34 |

| mapps | heh | 19:59 |
| SuperEngineer | mapps: meh | 19:59 |
| ali1234 | you don't get rich by giving away money you know | 20:00 |
| mapps | agreed | 20:01 |
| ali1234 | the thing about really expensive luxury items is rich people don't buy them, they get them for free | 20:01 |
