| daftykins | ach ja, naturlich! | 00:11 |
| neuro | sehr gut | 00:11 |
| neuro | i'm just reading this: http://www.wired.com/wiredenterprise/2014/03/bitcoin-exchange/ | 00:11 |
| neuro | what an omnishambles | 00:11 |
| daftykins | aber nur ein sandwich | 00:11 |
| neuro | "DER POLIZEI!" | 00:12 |
| neuro | "Nur einmal" | 00:12 |
| neuro | "Ha ha ha" | 00:12 |
| neuro | "Mr. Takagi, I'm really not interested in your computer." | 00:16 |
| ali1234 | neuro: their transaction database was just leaked too | 00:17 |
| neuro | "But I need the code key, because I am interested in the six hundred and forty million dollars in negotiable bearer bonds that you have locked in your vault." | 00:17 |
| neuro | "And the computer ... controls the vault." | 00:17 |
| ali1234 | every account balance (but not username or email just an anonymous guid) | 00:18 |
| neuro | ouch | 00:18 |
| neuro | so glad i have never bothered with bitcoin | 00:18 |
| ali1234 | and also every transaction ever made, but again, no link to which account, just a (different) account guid | 00:18 |
| ali1234 | oh and also a list of deposits and withdrawals, again, completely anonymized | 00:19 |
| neuro | but still | 00:19 |
| ali1234 | the data isn't complete either, but i can confirm it is legit | 00:20 |
| ali1234 | there is something more going on here than "lol hackers" | 00:20 |
| shauno | it does seem that someone's not just trying to plunder it, but completely discredit it | 00:23 |
| ali1234 | yes, i totally agree | 00:23 |
| ali1234 | so far everything seems to have been leaked from the inside | 00:26 |
| ali1234 | or at least that is what someone wants people to think | 00:28 |

| Hornet | neuro: 12.4 works, mostly | 00:42 |
| Hornet | stuck at installing grub now, can't find a solution that seems to apply | 00:42 |
| Hornet | the default attempt at installing on /sda fails and is a fatal error | 00:43 |
| Hornet | I made a seperate boot partition on a non raid drive, but df -h can't see it | 00:43 |
| Hornet | doesn't help that the ash shell there pisses around with mount points anyway | 00:44 |
| Hornet | also for some reason my raid is apparently md/0 not md0 | 00:44 |
| Hornet | which is a bit shit | 00:44 |

| MooDoo | can't say I have mapps | 06:59 |

| mapps | i put it in 'lost mode' on icloud findmyiphone and displayed a message 'this iphone is lost..please call #'' but noones called..hoping someone will..but who knows | 07:01 |
| mapps | i dont get how findmyiphones as useful as they make out..it gives you na vague location it says it could be in 5-100 houses on a street here...police said 'nothing much we can do as we cant search random houses' but to 'monitor' it O_o | 07:02 |
| MooDoo | :( | 07:03 |
| mapps | and you cant monitor it anyway..here's another thing right..cancel my contract so the 3g dies right away..dso of course it cant update its location | 07:03 |

| Knightwise | morning | 07:39 |
| mapps | morning | 07:40 |
| Knightwise | hey mapps :) how are you dude | 07:46 |
| mapps | im ok..yourself? | 07:46 |
| mapps | watcjig my favourite show atm | 07:46 |
| mapps | not judge judy for once;p true detective | 07:46 |
| Knightwise | haha :) | 07:48 |
| Knightwise | i'm browsing around looking for a new laptop for my company | 07:48 |
| mapps | cool | 07:48 |
| Knightwise | not sure what i need to get | 07:48 |
| mapps | what spec you looking for | 07:48 |
| MooDoo | what you planning on doing on the laptop? | 07:48 |
| Knightwise | will be my main work machine. | 07:48 |
| Knightwise | i'll be doing consultancy at clients. | 07:49 |
| Knightwise | so it will probably need to run some vm's | 07:49 |
| Knightwise | I took a look at the lenovo yoga 2 pro | 07:49 |
| Knightwise | I7, 16 gig, 512ssd , 13 inch , high res screen | 07:50 |
| MooDoo | 13 inch screen? wow that's small | 07:51 |
| MartijnVdS | the Ubuntu dev one is good :) | 07:51 |
| MartijnVdS | it's 13", has an i7 afaik, and loads of ram | 07:52 |
| MartijnVdS | I run VMs on mine all the time | 07:52 |
| Knightwise | MartijnVdS: which one is that you are speakin about ? | 07:52 |
| Knightwise | MooDoo: It has to be portable , I can always hook up an external display | 07:52 |
| MooDoo | Knightwise: cool | 07:53 |
| mapps | wow | 07:54 |
| mapps | 13 inch pfft | 07:54 |
| mapps | i want bigger :D ive got an nc10 but its not my main machine | 07:54 |
| MooDoo | mapps: hehe yeah I'm with you on that one :) | 07:54 |
| mapps | i quite liked the idea of an imac or macbook whatever theyre claled..but the displays are too small!! | 07:54 |
| mapps | not forking out all that money for a tiny display | 07:54 |
| Knightwise | Hmmm. Dell Xps13 .. not bad | 07:54 |
| Knightwise | MartijnVdS: Pricetag ? | 07:55 |
| mapps | YES | 07:55 |
| mapps | dell are nice | 07:55 |
| mapps | :D | 07:55 |
| mapps | but ..13 | 07:55 |
| mapps | pfft | 07:55 |
| mapps | dell xps..17 and now youre talking;) | 07:56 |
| Knightwise | Lugging a 15 around is a drag | 07:59 |
| MooDoo | Knightwise: it's ok especially in my ogio ubuntu bag, not so hard on the shoulders. | 07:59 |
| Knightwise | MooDoo: so which one do you have ? The 17 inch Xps ? | 08:02 |
| MartijnVdS | Knightwise: no idea, $employer paid for mine :) | 08:02 |
| Knightwise | MartijnVdS: just looking , about 1200 euros , | 08:03 |
| Knightwise | not that expensive | 08:03 |
| MartijnVdS | and you KNOW it'll run Ubuntu fine ;) | 08:05 |
| MooDoo | Knightwise: no 15' lattitude E6510 | 08:05 |
| Knightwise | MartijnVdS: thats the important part : it just HAS to work fine. | 08:10 |
| Knightwise | I had my fair share of troubles with my lenovo | 08:11 |
| Knightwise | hmm. wondering if you can update the ram and the SSD on that one | 08:12 |
| MartijnVdS | Knightwise: there's a thing on the bottom to access RAM, I think | 08:12 |
| MartijnVdS | Knightwise: SSD will be harder, but is probably msata or similar | 08:13 |
| MartijnVdS | [ 1.942405] ata1.00: ATA-9: SAMSUNG SSD PM841 mSATA 256GB, DXT43D0Q, max UDMA/133 | 08:13 |
| MartijnVdS | yup, msata :) | 08:13 |
| Knightwise | hmm.. Says this one comes with a touchscreen and everything http://www.dell.com/be/bedrijven/p/xps-13-linux/pd?refid=xps-13-linux&baynote_bnrank=0&baynote_irrank=3&~ck=dellSearch&isredir=true | 08:14 |
| MartijnVdS | Knightwise: it does come with a touch screen, but I never use that bit | 08:15 |
| MartijnVdS | dirty fingerprints | 08:15 |
| Knightwise | Me neither. | 08:18 |
| Knightwise | have a touchscreen on my lenovo twist right now.. | 08:18 |
| Knightwise | never use it. | 08:18 |
| Knightwise | great thing with this XPS is that the whole ubuntu thing just works. | 08:22 |
| Knightwise | and if the client wants me to run windows I can just install a VM. | 08:22 |
| MooDoo | Knightwise: I just multiboot with windows 8.1 | 08:24 |
| Knightwise | MooDoo: not my thing. If your windows os gets bitrot you have to reinstall/reconfigure both. | 08:29 |
| MooDoo | Knightwise: yeah luckily I don't mind reinstalling, most of my important stuff I back to my nas so it's easily transferrable if it does go awry | 08:30 |
| DJones | Knightwise: I'd recommend a Lenovo Y510P (i7-4700MQ, 15.6" at 1920*1080, various memory options, dual graphics (intel/nvidia 750M), I got one 2 weeks ago, installed 14.04 + nvidia-prime and everything just worked | 08:32 |
| DJones | Knightwise: This is the one I got, £799 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lenovo-Y510p-15-6-inch-Notebook-Processor/dp/B00FSBFBD2/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1393588902&sr=8-3&keywords=y510p | 08:34 |
| Knightwise | DJones: i had seen this one http://www.engadget.com/products/lenovo/yoga/2-pro/ | 08:38 |
| DJones | Knightwise: Although the resolution on those is good, I wanted a 15.6" screen, the other difference I went for was the better processor in the y510p | 08:41 |
| mapps | Ìû | 08:42 |
| Knightwise | I'm going for a 13 inch one. If I need a bigger screen I'll just hook up an external display | 08:53 |

| mapps | caqnt find a good guide for samba | 09:13 |
| MartijnVdS | mapps: apt-get install samba; man smb.conf :) | 09:13 |
| MartijnVdS | mapps: what do you want to know? | 09:13 |
| mapps | i just want to be able to access my windows share on ubuntu | 09:13 |
| mapps | and vice versa | 09:13 |
| MartijnVdS | mapps: Mounting a windows drive on linux is best done with "cifs", package "cifs-utils", dpkg -L for the man pages | 09:14 |
| MartijnVdS | mapps: samba comes with a lot of docs on how to configure it and what the impact of the options are | 09:14 |
| mapps | ah ok | 09:15 |
| mapps | i thought samba was always talked of for window smounts | 09:15 |
| mapps | so i should look into cifs thanks | 09:15 |
| dwatkins | it's the same thing, I believe, mapps | 09:16 |
| MartijnVdS | mapps: "Samba" is a suite of software, but most famous for being the daemon that lets windows machines brows files on your linux machines | 09:17 |
| dwatkins | "Samba provides CIFS file shares" | 09:17 |
| MartijnVdS | cifs-utils uses the same protocol, I think even built from the same source, to mount Windows drives on Linux machines | 09:17 |
| JamesTait | Good morning all; happy Monday, and happy Day of Awesomeness! :-D | 09:19 |

| MartijnVdS | it should be possible | 09:33 |
| MartijnVdS | did you restart sshd? | 09:33 |
| mapps | yep | 09:33 |
| mapps | wonder why it didnt display then | 09:33 |

| MooDoo | bigcalm: yeah they do :p | 09:39 |

| bigcalm | La la la, I can't hear you | 09:40 |
| MooDoo | bigcalm: debian debian ner ner ner ner ner | 09:40 |
| bigcalm | Okay, everybody uses Debian | 09:40 |
| MooDoo | bigcalm: just looking #debianuk, that's a support channel I setup and there a huge amoubnt of people there, they are just invisible and being hidden by chanserv ;) | 09:41 |
| Laney | you're trying to say that nobody uses debian because they aren't in some random channel you made? | 09:43 |
| MooDoo | Laney: I was just being silly :) | 09:43 |
| Laney | hmmmmmmmmm | 09:43 |
| MooDoo | :p | 09:43 |
| dwatkins | no-one seems to be in #debianuk :'( | 09:44 |
| MooDoo | dwatkins: I know I was having a giggle, it's something I setup a while ago for a friend who's a debian user | 09:45 |
| MartijnVdS | MooDoo: sure, "a friend" ;) | 09:45 |
| MooDoo | MartijnVdS: oh don't you start..... | 09:45 |
| MooDoo | ;) | 09:45 |
| Laney | it's #debian or #debian-uk on oftc | 09:46 |
| Laney | #debian also exists on freenode afaik | 09:46 |
| dwatkins | yep, it's quite popular | 09:48 |
| diplo | Morning all | 10:12 |
| MooDoo | morning diplo | 10:13 |
| diplo | Had a colleague talk to me about her pc on friday, said she had a call from a tech company they use for support but according to that company no one had called them | 10:17 |

| MooDoo | And the relevant .uk domain is available we will offer to put a pre-order for the .uk domain into their basket. | 10:17 |
| MooDoo | If the customer clicks 'No thanks' we should not ask them again for that domain. | 10:17 |

| MooDoo | strange | 10:18 |
| diplo | Can't think what to look for now :) | 10:18 |
| * diplo clicks renewals | 10:18 | |
| MooDoo | i'd be worried where the other party got the CC details. | 10:18 |
| diplo | That's what I was, thought some sort of key logger or something | 10:19 |
| diplo | But I've found nothing yet! | 10:19 |
| diplo | Not one virus/malware / anything - clean PC | 10:19 |
| MooDoo | have they spoken to their bank to see if there is any fraudulent issues? | 10:19 |
| diplo | They phoned them up and cancelled it straight away, the person who phoned them wanted to charge them £299 renewal or something and they said no and he tried anyway | 10:20 |
| MooDoo | diplo: format and reinstall, only way to be sure. | 10:21 |
| MartijnVdS | MooDoo: nuking from orbit would probably work as well :) | 10:22 |

| davmor2 | MooDoo: and your point? | 11:32 |
| MooDoo | davmor2: it's sandra bullock in space :S she can't do sci fi, put her back in a bus or strap a gun to her leg, space is not for her lol | 11:32 |
| hoover | I think she's cute | 11:34 |
| foobarry | there was a slow undressing from spacesuit scene for those inclined | 11:34 |

| MooDoo | I think it's plugins-ugly plugins-good plugins-bad-multiverse just see on that link I added | 14:52 |

| popey | lame will actually do the gruntwork, called by gstreamer | 14:57 |
| foobarry | Package gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 14:57 |
| foobarry | E: Package 'gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse' has no installation candidate | 14:57 |
| MartijnVdS | foobarry: do you have multiverse enabled? | 14:58 |
| popey | ah, discontinued package by the look of it | 14:58 |
| popey | gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly + lame will probably be enough then? | 14:58 |
| foobarry | pretty sure i have those.. | 14:58 |
| foobarry | just checking | 14:59 |
| popey | yeah, it refers to liblame too | 14:59 |
| foobarry | have liblame not lame... | 14:59 |
| popey | yeah, you need lame too IIRC | 14:59 |
| foobarry | :( | 14:59 |
| foobarry | still broken | 15:00 |
| foobarry | http://ubuntuone.com/5JCncQ2WgkHS9D1zMVtvps | 15:00 |
| foobarry | think i'll find something else | 15:02 |
| foobarry | sound juicer cooked the mp3s at 32kps.. | 15:04 |
| MartijnVdS | foobarry: sound-juicer also uses gstreamer.. but you can set the quality. Also, are you sure it's not VBR? | 15:06 |
| foobarry | even so...32kb? | 15:08 |
| foobarry | rhythmbox and I have mutual hatred | 15:09 |
| MartijnVdS | foobarry: VBR = *variable* bitrate. How are you determining it's 32kbps? | 15:09 |
| foobarry | nautilus | 15:10 |
| MartijnVdS | foobarry: how large is the file, and how long is it (in time) | 15:10 |
| foobarry | 3MB for regular song | 15:10 |
| MartijnVdS | sounds like >32kbps | 15:10 |
| foobarry | yeah | 15:10 |
| foobarry | just asking clementine | 15:10 |
| MartijnVdS | foobarry: try "exiftool file.mp3" | 15:10 |
| foobarry | clementine thinks 32kb | 15:12 |
| foobarry | all other songs are 192 ish | 15:12 |
| MartijnVdS | foobarry: there's no single bitrate for a VBR song. | 15:13 |
| MartijnVdS | foobarry: can you check with exiftool please? | 15:13 |
| foobarry | exiftool not in repos | 15:13 |
| MartijnVdS | foobarry: it could very well be that the first frame is silence, which compresses well, so it's the lowest bitrate possible | 15:13 |
| MartijnVdS | foobarry: just try it. | 15:13 |
| foobarry | exiftool not in repos | 15:14 |
| MartijnVdS | foobarry: command-not-found will tell you the package. | 15:14 |
| MartijnVdS | foobarry: just type on the command line "exiftool file.mp3" - it'll give you an apt-get command | 15:14 |
| foobarry | go it | 15:14 |
| foobarry | got | 15:14 |
| foobarry | it's guitar music, so it wold compress well in fact | 15:14 |
| foobarry | http://pastebin.com/UiEde9wU | 15:15 |
| MartijnVdS | hmm no idea | 15:16 |
| MartijnVdS | foobarry: which profile did you select in sound-juicer's prefs/ | 15:16 |
| foobarry | mp3 | 15:16 |
| foobarry | no custiomsisation allowed | 15:17 |
| foobarry | don't worry | 15:17 |
| foobarry | gonna give up and do it at home | 15:17 |

| foobarry | asunder did it better, but without id3 lookup | 15:30 |

| diddledan | my dns disappeared over the weekend | 16:27 |
| diddledan | ho hum, no work-related emails for me ;-) | 16:28 |
| diddledan | \o/ for being cut off | 16:28 |
| shauno | :| | 16:46 |
| shauno | I'm wading through 'soap'(? appears to be xml that loves the sound of its own voice) because someone wasn't happy that I documented part of a protocol as 'magic' | 16:47 |
| davmor2 | shauno: should of called it "MagicSmoke" then everything would of worked fine ;) | 16:52 |
| shauno | oh it does work fine. that's why it's magic. never documented it because it never broke | 16:53 |
| shauno | normally I just get to document the stuff that's a little crazy. like one routine where 25=0 | 16:54 |
| diddledan | speaking of "magic"... AlanBell, when do I get to name my pi?! :-p | 16:54 |
| diddledan | I want to name it "magic-pixies" | 16:55 |
| diddledan | then the build log on packages it creates will say something along the lines of "built by magic pixies" | 16:55 |
| diddledan | there's nothing better than a troll that keeps trolling :-D | 16:56 |
| shauno | bacon? | 16:57 |
| diddledan | mmm, bacon | 16:57 |
| shauno | I made pancakes last night. turns out I'm not very good at it | 16:57 |
| diddledan | lol | 16:57 |
| diddledan | I wouldn't have a clue how to do such a thing | 16:58 |
| diddledan | egg? | 16:58 |
| diddledan | milk? | 16:58 |
| diddledan | flour? | 16:58 |
| shauno | cup flour, cup milk, one egg | 16:58 |
| shauno | put in pan, panic until edible, eat before anyone sees how bad it looks | 16:58 |
| diddledan | lmao | 16:58 |
| popey | my kids love pancakes | 16:59 |
| shauno | I used to love helping mum. from my experiences last night, I'm not sure I was as much help as I thought I was | 16:59 |
| popey | pan should be quite hot. i use a brush to cover the pan with oil, and a soup ladel to spoon the mixture in | 16:59 |
| === stryx`_ is now known as stryx` | ||
| shauno | this is true of many things, actually. the more I try to look after a theoretically adult me, the more I'm amazed at how mum managed 5 of us | 17:01 |
| diddledan | I'm assuming ladel-hosen is when you use a spoon and a pipe to repeatedly beat and squirt water on a german? | 17:01 |
| shauno | dan, I believe that's only legal in berwick | 17:01 |
| diddledan | I'd be good as a CIA dude | 17:02 |
| diddledan | wacky punishment > simulating drowning | 17:03 |
| diddledan | plus it would look better when the videos leak | 17:03 |
| diddledan | people would be incredulous at the crazyness of it rather than the inhumanity | 17:04 |
| shauno | I think you talk too much for that to be a valid career choice | 17:04 |
| diddledan | I'm not sure talking is ever an issue. it's talking about things that people actually believe | 17:16 |
| diddledan | and if my wacky theory holds then people will think I'm a nutjob instead of a bona fide goverment employee | 17:16 |
| diddledan | it obviously helps that I am in fact an actual nutjob | 17:17 |
| SuperMatt | bigcalm: please don't message me about RS stuff >.< | 17:22 |
| SuperMatt | but no, I don't think so | 17:22 |

| diddledan | daftykins: \o/ | 18:36 |
| diddledan | that looks compact | 18:36 |
| diddledan | it's got an ssd by the looks? | 18:36 |
| diddledan | and a teeny weeny fan | 18:36 |
| daftykins | yep | 18:36 |
| daftykins | core 2 duo sony VAIO TT with a 120GB samsung SSD, 4GB RAM | 18:37 |
| daftykins | few years on it now | 18:37 |
| * diddledan sniggers, you said TT | 18:37 | |
| diddledan | first job then, replace that sata ssd with a bigger one :-p | 18:38 |
| daftykins | nope | 18:39 |
| diddledan | oh yeah, make it work is probably more important | 18:39 |
| daftykins | half the keyboard's dead, no viable replacements | 18:39 |
| daftykins | so new Lenovo ordered already | 18:39 |
| diddledan | aah | 18:39 |
| diddledan | it's a doorstop then? | 18:39 |
| daftykins | this thing's too old to put money into really | 18:39 |
| daftykins | well i have the lower panel in front of me right now | 18:39 |
| daftykins | just disconnected that blue plastic pull-tab ribbon | 18:40 |
| daftykins | i'm tempted to try taking the keyboard apart as much as possible and dry/clean it further | 18:40 |
| daftykins | probably dead already though | 18:40 |
| daftykins | he ran it all day and overnight to 'dry it out' ;_; | 18:40 |

| mapps | hmm why wont my machine boot up automatically | 19:35 |
| mapps | grub just sits there | 19:35 |
| jpds | mapps: That's a sign that it failed to shutdown correctly. | 19:37 |
| mapps | hmm..but i reboot and up comes the grub menu every time and it just sits and waits never ever ever boots up without a key press | 19:38 |
| mapps | i checked /etc/default/grub and timeout set to 10 | 19:38 |
| SuperMatt | bigcalm: thanks man, you really have no idea how little time I can spend on here now | 19:41 |
| diddledan | that's an annoying feature tbh | 19:44 |
| diddledan | if it failed to shut down properly then ofc I want it to stop mid-boot so I have to drive to the datacentre and fix it | 19:45 |
| ball | diddledan: If it's in a datacentre, doesn't it have LOM? | 19:45 |
| diddledan | ball: no, my boss is cheap | 19:46 |
| ball | diddledan: Penny wise and pound foolish? | 19:46 |
| diddledan | bingo | 19:46 |
| diddledan | LOM would be awesome | 19:46 |
| diddledan | but still a manual intervention on an automatic process is annoying | 19:47 |
| diddledan | it should only stop booting if it can't complete safely | 19:47 |
| directhex | GRUB_RECORDFAIL_TIMEOUT=10 | 19:49 |
| directhex | that value is how many seconds to wait if it thinks boot failed. default is infinite | 19:50 |

| MartijnVdS | aquarius: Riddling needs more levels :) | 21:06 |
| mapps | i disabled root for ssh - figured best idea..no? get loads of people trying to gain access in auth.log to user root | 21:08 |
| mapps | and it didnt take affect until i rebooted..even tho i restarted sshd | 21:08 |
| * DJones wonders why Rambo II is on the Syfy channel | 21:08 | |
| mapps | shouldnt just restarting have been enough | 21:08 |
| aquarius | MartijnVdS, sorry :) There may be a Riddling 2 at some point... | 21:08 |
| ball | Happy Monday. | 21:39 |
| diddledan | mapps: yeah afaiui restarting just ssh should be enough | 22:17 |
| mapps | yea thats what i thought hmm weird | 22:18 |
| diddledan | one thing that does annoy me on more recent ubuntu's (server) is the networking service tells you that it doesn't do what you expect anymore | 22:20 |
| diddledan | when hitting it with the "restart" flag | 22:20 |
| diddledan | in older ubuntus /etc/init.d/networking restart did just that and everything was great, but now it doesn't? | 22:20 |
| diddledan | it's not a case of /etc/init.d/networking vs "service networking" either | 22:20 |
| diddledan | it just flat out tells you that it isn't what you want and that you should reboot instead | 22:21 |
| diddledan | I don't like server distros insisting that I reboot for everything. I dislike it on desktop, too. | 22:22 |
| diddledan | eg. on desktop, why should I reboot to apply an X11 fix?! | 22:22 |
| diddledan | surely just restarting lightdm would be enough, no? | 22:22 |
| diddledan | one of the reasons I used to love linux was that I didn't have to reboot after every patch. seems ubuntu, and probably other distros are trying very hard to be "just like the redmond os" | 22:25 |
| mapps | yea | 22:25 |
| mapps | thats the thing diddledan i found that | 22:26 |
| diddledan | to the point of replicating the bad experiences of that redmond os | 22:26 |
| mapps | if i lose connection i cant restart my networking you HAVE to restart? | 22:26 |
| mapps | is there no workaround like ifconfig wlan0 down or whatever and forcing it? | 22:26 |
| mapps | i couldnt see how;/ | 22:26 |
| mapps | hmm | 23:04 |
| mapps | didnt come back this time | 23:04 |
