* diplo looks07:34
diploHows MooDoo ?07:34
diploHow am I in position 9, I don't chat half as much as others07:34
MooDoodiplo: I'm fine thanks :) and I'm coming for you diplo...:)07:35
* diplo gets typing :D07:35
MooDoo:) lol07:36
diddledanI'm close on your heals, MooDoo - two places further back07:39
diddledanwe will usurp the mighty popey eventually, right?07:39
MooDoodiddledan: only if we break his fingers and ban him from the internet for life07:41
diddledansounds like a plan07:41
Myrttiwell, it looks like Benadryl acrivastine isn't meant for me07:42
MyrttiI'm not tired, which is usually what happens, but my mouth is made of parchment, feeling a bit nauseous and my typing skills have taken a dip07:42
Myrttitomorrow: testing how loratedine fares against my allergies.07:43
Myrttiloratadine even07:43
diploSome of the drugs I've been taking leave me with a sandpaper feeling mouth in the morning07:51
diploA friend got pescribed some gel stuff that when you first wake up it freshens your mouth and makes you feel normal again07:51
diploDon't drugs suck :/07:51
Myrttiwell I suppose I should count my blessings07:52
MyrttiI don't feel like gauging my eyes out and I'm not encrusting the laptop screen with sneezes I fail to catch with a hankie07:52
diplo:)07:53
MooDooI'm ok this morning, I just had a swag of piriton lol07:53
diddledanrelated, almost, I built the website for opticrom which is a hayfever eye-drop - opticrom.co.uk07:54
diddledanreminds me, I need to do some tweaking07:55
MooDoodiddledan: I read that as twerking, was getting worried then :D07:55
diddledanMooDoo: I can try that too07:56
diploDrupal man ?07:56
diddledandiplo: not really. I scrape by. problem is my boss thinks I know what I'm doing07:57
MyrttiMooDoo: I wanted to try other medicines than piriton, cetirizine (especially as the racemic mixture instead of just levocetirizine) knocks me out cold07:57
diddledanthese names aren't real words07:58
shaunoit kinda looks like a sentence if you step back and squint though07:58
MyrttiVery high pollen count in Peterborough. No wonder I feel so awful07:58
MyrttiPiriton and Piriteze make me feel uneasy. Piri is a colloquial for amphetamine in Finnish.08:00
diplodiddledan, Same as me, scrape by :)08:03

diddledanfoobarry: short it out and say "it got worse"08:21

bigcalmGood morning peeps :)10:00
MooDoohello bigcalm10:04
foobarry"Since issue is intermittent and no error message after running the diagnostic test, issue may be software related, foobarry "10:16
foobarry"if it was software issue i would not have to unplug and replug power cord the other day"10:17
foobarry"Thanks for adding that up, i would be glad to request a PSU"10:17
MyrttiI want to prod and poke someone about OEM laptops getting the LTS10:31
Myrttibut I don't know who I'd poke10:31
MyrttiI'm annoyed10:31
Myrttiwant LTS10:31
MooDooMyrtti: poke the first person you see in the street, they will probably have just as much luck at getting this :D10:51
Myrtti:-<10:52
Myrttiyou is mean10:52
* MooDoo hugs Myrtti :)10:53
Myrttito my great disappointment (but also with results I totally expected) it turns out my latest dyeing project didn't take the colour I wanted and hoped. Oh well. Instead of a green summer hat I shall have a brown summer hat.11:05
diddledanthose two colours aren't even close11:09
ali1234yeah they are11:09
Myrttididdledan: chemistry is weird.11:11
MooDooh2oh yes it is indeed :)11:12
MyrttiIt is somehow logical in some weird way that if you're using alum to prep animal fibres for dyeing, if using red onion skins as the dye, the end result is olive green11:12
Myrttiramie is a vegetable fibre, so the results weren't what I hoped but also knew that would be unlikely11:12
diddledanand red food colouring is yellow11:12
diploGot some issues with shared hosting where the load gets high and dns stops resolving correctly11:20
diploCan anyone explain how this works, so we have a reseller account with cpanel and this same server does websites/dns etc etc11:21
diploIf the load goes through the roof we have issues with resolving records sometimes11:21
=== Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away
diploI'm guessing that when the customers dns servers are trying to connect to domain.com @ IP it requests it from the Shared host it can't complete the transaction ?11:22
diddledandig is helpful for working out dns bottlenecks11:29
diddledanuse +trace and it'll query the entire dns server chain11:29
diploTrying that now11:30
diplota11:30
diploConnection timed out, no servers could be reached.. Will look into the command a bit more11:31
diddledanshould be just `dig example.com +trace`11:31
diployep, tried on a few sites just says timed out11:32
diploSeems an Ubuntu issue11:33
diploWorks fine from my VPS11:33
diddledansounds like your resolv.conf is screwey11:33
MooDoocan you ping the IP?  silly question11:33
diddledanhmm, ubuntu does that whole nameserver 127.0.0.1 thing11:33
diddledanI forget where network manager puts it's own resolv.conf file or even if it obscures it entirely inside the evil that is dbus11:34
diploYeah, happens on all different domains11:34
diplonot just my issue one11:34
diploWhen the load goes high again I'll try again11:35
diploReturning fast atm11:35

GargoyleDoes anyone have any recommendations for a basic MTA for servers. Just so that notification emails (Eg. cron messages, etc) can be sent out to a real email address? Would you still go with a full install of postfix?14:21

funkyHatBarclaycard have just done the same thing to me. Amex and a Visa for when people say nuhuh15:57

mapps2 cards for 1 seems silly16:28

shaunothat's his point.  amex costs the vendor more16:29
mappsyea16:29
mappsbut16:30
mappswhy not ust use mc then16:30
directhexmore cashback or other perks on amex16:31
directhexe.g. with lloyds, they give 5x the avios if you use the amex not the mastercard16:31

bigcalmIt's Friday afternoon, he might be in the pub16:34

ali1234does "find -type d -links 3" find all directories that contain exactly one file or directory? (along with . and ..)18:14
ali1234no, the link count only counts directories, so that finds directories with exactly one subdirectory18:19
