| SuperMatt | Was Thor grumbling where you were? | 07:32 |
| MooDoo | SuperMatt: no, poorly son so I slept on the living room floor .... ouch achy achy :) | 07:35 |
| diplo | SuperMatt, yup from 12 till 2am | 07:36 |
| diplo | Was watching it for ages, amazing stuff | 07:36 |
| SuperMatt | I didn't watch, but I listened | 07:38 |
| foobarry | is there an easy way to rip a tv series dvd into separate chapters without much manual work? | 08:10 |
| foobarry | i'm using handbrake atm | 08:11 |
| JamesTait | Good morning all; happy Friday, and happy Mandela Day! :-D | 08:13 |
| Myrtti | oooohhhhhhh, http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p021syjx | 08:20 |
| MooDoo | anyone use vmware on a hp microserver? | 08:20 |
| brobostigon | morning boys and girls. | 08:20 |
| MooDoo | howdy brobostigon | 08:20 |
| foobarry | MooDoo: some people do. | 08:21 |
| bigcalm | MooDoo: no, but I am using virtualbox on mine | 08:21 |
| brobostigon | morning MooDoo | 08:21 |
| bigcalm | It doesn't really cope well with more than 0 virtual machines | 08:21 |
| MooDoo | bigcalm: ok thanks, just looking at options for a home lab :) | 08:22 |
| foobarry | LXC? | 08:22 |
| Myrtti | we're using kvm on ours and it runs several just fine | 08:22 |
| Myrtti | of course you need to take care not to allocate too much memory on each | 08:22 |
| bigcalm | MooDoo: a kvm set-up might work for you if you don't need it to be portable between platforms | 08:22 |
| MooDoo | It'll run windows and linux vm's | 08:23 |
| bigcalm | MooDoo: I have to do that on my i7 laptop as my microserver really can't cope | 08:24 |
| bigcalm | You'll want to put some good resources into whatever box you end up with | 08:24 |
| MooDoo | bigcalm: probably a self build :) | 08:24 |
| foobarry | the handy thin gis esxi runs on a 2gb (or maybe 4gb ) usb stick | 08:25 |
| bigcalm | Build a rack? ;) | 08:25 |
| bigcalm | Seperate your windows VMs and use KVM for the Linux ones | 08:25 |
| foobarry | buy 5 microservers and paint them orange | 08:25 |
| foobarry | and run MAAS | 08:25 |
| MooDoo | lol | 08:25 |
| bigcalm | Heh | 08:25 |
| MooDoo | I'll just save up 7k and buy an orangebox :) | 08:26 |
| bigcalm | I've bitten the bullet and ordered a 500GB SSD for my laptop (to replace the 120GB one in it). VMs really do take up a lot of space | 08:26 |
| popey | Morning | 08:27 |

| foobarry | only couple of hours sleep :( | 08:31 |
| foobarry | wifey was tossing and turning till 2am, then the thunder started for 4 hours | 08:31 |
| foobarry | sounded like wheely bin grand prix outside | 08:32 |
| bigcalm | I don't remember being woken by thunder. But the wind and rain were quite fun | 08:33 |
| foobarry | there was crazy lightning at 2am | 08:34 |
| bigcalm | Had to close a window to stop the blinds from rattling. Not a nice thing when it's quite warm | 08:34 |
| bigcalm | Lucky | 08:34 |
| bigcalm | Where are you? | 08:34 |
| foobarry | n london | 08:34 |
| bigcalm | Ah, far to south | 08:34 |
| bigcalm | s/to/too | 08:34 |
| Myrtti | I slept like a baby, but only because I found my blackout eye blinds | 08:35 |
| Myrtti | and yes we do have blackout curtains too, but it doesn't help if you need to keep the window open to get the air circulating and the light escapes anyway | 08:37 |
| MooDoo | blackout curtains....luxury, When I was a lad we had to work at mill and pay mill owner to work there.... | 08:39 |
| foobarry | baby is obsessed with scratching ht etouhcpa on my laptop | 08:39 |
| foobarry | touchpad | 08:39 |
| MooDoo | new sensation for them, mine did that all the time on carpets, soft furnishings my beard etc | 08:44 |
| bigcalm | Good morning peeps :) | 08:45 |
| Myrtti | oh man, that world book club episode was brilliant | 08:45 |
| bigcalm | Just realised that I didn't greet peeps when I woke up | 08:45 |
| Myrtti | just a reminder to everyone: you need to read Sofia's World by Jostein Gaarder. | 08:45 |
| MooDoo | bigcalm: that's disgusting | 08:45 |
| foobarry | Myrtti: i did when i was about 20 | 08:50 |
| foobarry | i felt its probably best for younger types | 08:50 |
| Myrtti | foobarry: I got three straight full marks on my three philosophy courses partially because of that book | 08:50 |
| foobarry | a mere bagatelle sophie | 08:50 |
| foobarry | and the solitaire mystery was more of hte same | 08:51 |
| foobarry | and alain de bottons rather pretentious books | 08:51 |
| bigcalm | Next week I will be replacing the SSDs in my workstation and laptop with much larger ones. What's the easiest way to move the OS and data over? | 09:03 |
| Myrtti | rsync, if not dd | 09:03 |
| bigcalm | So I need to find a machine with spare SATA ports and dd from one to the other | 09:04 |
| * bigcalm looks over at his steamos machine | 09:04 | |
| bigcalm | Does dd work on a whole drive or do I have to specify partitions? | 09:05 |
| bigcalm | That is, can I copy the whole of /dev/sdb to /dev/sdc ? | 09:06 |
| diddledan | morning morning | 09:06 |
| MartijnVdS | bigcalm: it should work on a whole drive, if target >= destination | 09:06 |
| bigcalm | MartijnVdS: surely the other way around? | 09:06 |
| MartijnVdS | though you may need to resize the partitions afterwards if the target is bigger | 09:06 |
| MartijnVdS | no, target has to be larger than the source, or equal in size | 09:07 |
| bigcalm | target and destination are confusing me here :) | 09:07 |
| MartijnVdS | so target >= source | 09:07 |
| ali1234 | target and destination are the same thing lol | 09:07 |
| * MartijnVdS facepalms | 09:07 | |
| MartijnVdS | oops :) | 09:07 |
| bigcalm | :) | 09:07 |
| foobarry | any suggestions on my handbrake-cli problems? | 09:08 |
| foobarry | struggling to episodic dvds to separate files without a tedious process in the GUI | 09:08 |
| bigcalm | Workstation is getting 250GB to replace its 60GB. Laptop is getting 500GB to replace its 120GB. All should be well | 09:09 |
| foobarry | i have a thomas tank engine dvd with 26 Titles ,and a fireman sam with 1 title and 5 chapters | 09:09 |
| Myrtti | uf. thunder and lightning | 09:17 |
| MartijnVdS | very very frightening? | 09:18 |
| foobarry | me | 09:18 |
| Myrtti | MartijnVdS: my rational self isn't too frightened but I still want to crawl under the duvet or better yet if SO were home, sit in a car | 09:19 |
| popey | bigcalm: I'd use gparted | 09:19 |
| * MooDoo is petrified of thunder and lightning :( | 09:19 | |
| popey | bigcalm: it has a "copy and paste" feature. boot off usb, plug both SATA drives in, copy/paste | 09:19 |
| MartijnVdS | it does? Awesomesauce | 09:20 |
| bigcalm | popey: perfect, just what I need | 09:21 |
| bigcalm | popey: ta | 09:21 |
| popey | ya | 09:21 |
| popey | the only thing you'll need to do is install a bootloader, but thats easy | 09:21 |
| bigcalm | That won't be taken across as well? | 09:22 |
| popey | no | 09:22 |
| bigcalm | Oh | 09:22 |
| popey | i used rsync when I did this on my laptop | 09:22 |
| bigcalm | An evening next week will be fun then | 09:27 |

| awilkins | diddledan, That's like legislating against someone because they are influential! | 14:50 |
| awilkins | "Hey, lots of people trust your opinion..... YOU MUST BE STOPPED!" | 14:50 |

| popey | sounds like it | 15:01 |
| foobarry | DELIVERY DELAYS: Due to the M1 closure at J14 & J15, and a subsequent accident on the diversion route, some of our trailers have been delayed on their way to our local service centres.

| foobarry | :( | 15:04 |
| foobarry | you know handbrakes autocrop? does it only remove black borders? | 15:04 |
| foobarry | is such a noob at video rippage | 15:04 |
| diddledan | I haven't ever tried video ripping | 15:04 |
| diddledan | I would need a big thingy if I were to digitise my DVDs | 15:05 |
| foobarry | most of our dvds are getting scratched badly | 15:05 |
| diddledan | does handbrake utilise gpu-power? | 15:05 |
| foobarry | and all of them are offset by one. i.e. wallace and gromit has got the hobbit in , the hobbit case has fireman sam, etc | 15:05 |
| foobarry | gnu poewr, dunno about gpu | 15:05 |
| foobarry | i have a 200 node HPC cluster which i'd love to use :D | 15:06 |
| foobarry | probably not fair use though | 15:06 |
| diddledan | lol | 15:06 |
| foobarry | sorry couldnt cure cancer this year because foobarry had some scratched dvds | 15:06 |

| awilkins | 128! MEGA! bytes! | 15:12 |
| diddledan | awilkins: how long did it take? | 15:12 |
| awilkins | Days, on and off. | 15:12 |
| diddledan | lol | 15:12 |
| diddledan | I hated dialup because I used 0800 freeserve (and others) which had a 2hour cut-off | 15:13 |
| foobarry | unlimited i hope, rather than pay permin | 15:13 |
| Myrtti | ungh. Air-source heat pump would be nice. | 15:13 |
| awilkins | I had 2 dialup providers | 15:13 |
| foobarry | remember when freeserve became worth more than dixons on account of having a large bank of modems? | 15:13 |
| directhex | awilkins, zelda isn't 128MB | 15:13 |
| awilkins | One was ClaraNet | 15:14 |
| awilkins | One was this dodgy company that provided 0800 dialup (with a 1 hour cutoff) in exchange for your "dividends on the shares you hold" | 15:14 |
| awilkins | The owner peed off to Rio with all the money after a few months | 15:14 |
| awilkins | But that was a BARGAIN | 15:14 |
| foobarry | :S | 15:15 |
| diddledan | I remember using RedHotAnt for a while | 15:15 |
| foobarry | sounds rude | 15:15 |
| diddledan | and x-stream | 15:15 |
| diddledan | (also rude) | 15:16 |
| diddledan | x-stream didn't work under alternative operating systems tho because they'd cut you off if you weren't running their dialer which displayed a banner on your screen for advertising | 15:17 |
| diddledan | the banner couldn't be hidden | 15:18 |
| diddledan | it just sat there cycling adverts while you were online | 15:18 |
| awilkins | Couldn't be hidden.. without a piece of cardboard! | 15:18 |

| awilkins | Analog hole pwns you again! | 15:18 |
| directhex | remember GetRight? | 15:19 |
| diddledan | directhex: do I ever | 15:19 |
| directhex | i think i might have a paid license to that | 15:20 |
| diddledan | with the 2hour cut-off I needed it to maintain downloads across the barrier | 15:20 |
| directhex | yep | 15:21 |
| directhex | half-life patches were huge | 15:21 |
| directhex | 45MB! | 15:21 |
| diddledan | I think I probably downloaded more back then than I do now | 15:22 |
| diddledan | because I can now | 15:22 |
| diddledan | so I don't feel the need to prove it | 15:22 |
| diddledan | like boy-racers and their cars | 15:22 |
| diddledan | the smaller the engine the more the boy racer behaves like a pr**k | 15:23 |
| awilkins | Heh, GetRight... | 15:25 |
| awilkins | Would even download multiple chunks from different servers at the same time | 15:25 |
| awilkins | There are still such things (like DownloadThemAll! ) | 15:26 |
| diddledan | or.. getright | 15:26 |
| diddledan | (yes it still exists) | 15:26 |
| awilkins | And of course, BitTorrent which is the logical next generation of "thing that downloads things from multiple servers and checks the integrity of chunks" | 15:26 |
| diddledan | it's still straight out of the 90s: http://getright.com/ | 15:27 |
| diddledan | they still claim windows95 support | 15:29 |
| diddledan | I read that as "we haven't updated the program since windows 95 was around" | 15:30 |

| diddledan | hmm | 18:35 |
| daftykins | das keyboard were very nice, i email'd asking what was up with that - they offered to send me a free key cap puller and discount on buying a new keyboard despite being years out of warranty with my existing | 18:36 |
| daftykins | well - only if i were in the US ;) | 18:36 |
| gebbione | anyone using virginmedia uk here? | 18:37 |
| daftykins | might be quicker to just ask your next question | 18:38 |
| mapps | ;] | 18:39 |
| gebbione | well i m not sure i can set a dns server on my router from virgin | 18:39 |
| gebbione | and it sounds annoying that my machines hostnames are not resolving in the network | 18:39 |
| mapps | oh | 18:40 |
| gebbione | i added the router as a dns server to the list on my machine but it is not working | 18:40 |
| daftykins | local hostnames have nothing to do with ISP DNS | 18:40 |
| gebbione | thats why i though adding the router to the list of the dns could have helped | 18:40 |
| daftykins | so is your internet connectivity not working either? | 18:40 |
| gebbione | it is while i chat with you | 18:41 |
| gebbione | the problem is not external sites, is getting my local machines to respond by name rather than remembering ips | 18:41 |
| daftykins | what OSs are they all running? | 18:42 |
| gebbione | ubuntu, mac, winzoz and some other linux in some boxes like the nas | 18:42 |
| daftykins | i gotta be honest - relying upon hostname is relying upon all kinds of junk | 18:44 |
| daftykins | i use IPs explicitly. run things i want to host services on with static internal IPs outside the DHCP scope | 18:44 |
| daftykins | gebbione: how have you been configuring your DNS IPs? | 18:45 |
| gebbione | in network connections ip4 just add DHCP addressess only | 18:46 |
| gebbione | then list of dns | 18:46 |
| daftykins | good stuff | 18:47 |
| mapps | hmm | 18:47 |
| mapps | whys my shoutcast server using old ip | 18:47 |
| mapps | argh | 18:47 |
| gebbione | and added the original ones plus the router ip | 18:47 |
| directhex | daftykins, they don't give you a cap puller anyway? corsair do | 18:47 |
| daftykins | directhex: i've had this thing over 5 years :> | 18:47 |
| daftykins | times have changed a lot in keyboard land | 18:47 |
| directhex | true, mechanical keyboards are mundane now | 18:49 |
| directhex | i can walk into pc world and have a choice of them | 18:49 |

| diddledan | which has mpeg2 inside | 20:02 |
| foobarry | so no need to convert, hopefully plex et al will play this | 20:03 |
| diddledan | it is likely encrypted if it's off a commercial dvd | 20:03 |
| diddledan | in which case you'll need libdvdcss or some other way of decrypting it | 20:04 |

| daftykins | transport stream afaik, for .ts | 20:15 |
| diddledan | it was about 500 yards away from my guess | 20:15 |
| diddledan | it was certianly almost instantaneous flash and boom | 20:15 |
| diddledan | and big badaboom | 20:15 |
| daftykins | what do you mean by commercial DVD? it shouldn't have .ts if it's an actual film DVD | 20:16 |
| foobarry | think we just had lightning | 20:16 |
| diddledan | daftykins: sure it should | 20:16 |
| foobarry | ...1...2...3...4 | 20:16 |
| foobarry | baby's'room is 29.7 degrees | 20:16 |
| daftykins | diddledan: wat, thems VOBs | 20:16 |
| diddledan | ouch | 20:16 |
| === root is now known as Guest16942 | ||
| diddledan | daftykins: oh yeah, you're right - the folder is video_ts | 20:17 |
| diddledan | that's where I got confused | 20:17 |
| daftykins | :) | 20:17 |
| * daftykins pats diddledan on the shoulder | 20:17 | |
| diddledan | one ts isn't the same as another | 20:17 |
| foobarry | actually my pvr creates a .rec file | 20:17 |
| foobarry | which i copy over usb1 | 20:17 |
| foobarry | then strip off first 60 bytes to make the .ts that it really is | 20:17 |
| mgdm_t | TS == Transport Stream == the same container MPEG2 is brodcast over the air on | 20:18 |
| foobarry | also, i notice dvd often have title 1 24:45s | 20:20 |
| foobarry | and title2 24:44s | 20:20 |
| foobarry | but they seem to be the same thing | 20:20 |
| foobarry | whats that all about? which title to rip? | 20:20 |
| daftykins | duplicate program chains are a method of copy protection | 20:21 |
| daftykins | there's no 100% certain way to say, you just have to try it | 20:21 |
| foobarry | :( | 20:21 |
| diddledan | waa, my watch is batt flattery | 20:22 |
| daftykins | but titles with ARCCoS protection won't be readable without shim software like AnyDVD on Windows | 20:22 |
| foobarry | eww | 20:22 |
| * diddledan wanders off to plop it on the charger | 20:22 | |
| daftykins | i'm not sure of a Linux equivalent - we're talking titles that dd cannot help with | 20:22 |
| foobarry | i wonder how they play on dvd players | 20:22 |
| daftykins | well basically, DVD players are dumb enough to go "oh an error, i'll skip on" | 20:22 |
| daftykins | whereas a PC (or rather the optical drive firmware) is trying to be a reliable interpreter and error check that read | 20:23 |
| foobarry | are there many dvd like tis? | 20:23 |
| daftykins | yep | 20:23 |
| daftykins | i've had it on new pressings of old titles, new titles... no real rule to it | 20:23 |
| foobarry | i remember i had X&Y by coldplay | 20:23 |
| daftykins | although it tends to be that Sony Pictures and Disney titles are very common for it | 20:24 |
| foobarry | and if you rip it to mp3 then it had nasty errors in | 20:24 |
| foobarry | that cd players ignore | 20:24 |
| foobarry | but the mp3 had KCCCHHHHHHT | 20:24 |
| foobarry | every 20s | 20:24 |
| daftykins | amusingly, when Sony first developed this protection, they rendered a lot of their own DVD players as obsolete, promising firmware updates but never releasing | 20:24 |
| daftykins | haha, yeah nasty stuff | 20:24 |
| daftykins | sometimes it doesn't even pay to be a legitimate consumer | 20:24 |
| foobarry | so i never got round to properly getting a rip although i owned the cd | 20:24 |
| foobarry | and who listens to cds? | 20:25 |
| daftykins | i always buy on CD and rip to FLAC | 20:25 |
| daftykins | i do not like this digital future idea of buying a product which is defective by design at the outset | 20:25 |
| daftykins | although there is some music that i can buy online in FLAC straight away | 20:25 |
| daftykins | nice, open places | 20:26 |
| diddledan | the park? | 20:26 |
| daftykins | :D | 20:26 |
| diddledan | with swings and slides and jungle jims? | 20:26 |
| daftykins | places such as these are where we enact our free use \o/ | 20:27 |
| diddledan | or should that be jungle gyms? | 20:27 |
| foobarry | dads are viewed suspicously inthose places | 20:27 |
| diddledan | foobarry: so are uncles | 20:27 |
| foobarry | and wobble boards | 20:27 |
| diddledan | apparently it's frowned upon for me to say that a 6year old girl is "cute" | 20:27 |
| foobarry | parks are the main place for dads with weekend access | 20:28 |
| diddledan | or "pretty" | 20:28 |
| foobarry | the problem is when your kids are on the other side of the playground and you are left on your phone browsing the web | 20:29 |
| foobarry | Note: Installed Chrome apps do not support the Chromecast. Please use https://plex.tv/web for casting. | 20:31 |
| foobarry | hmm | 20:31 |
| foobarry | trying to decipher that message | 20:31 |
| daftykins | foobarry: we employed a student a couple of years ago to rip 950+ film DVDs to disk, probably ended up with ~20 that couldn't be done via conventional methods :) | 20:46 |
| diddledan | boo, lightning miles away | 20:50 |
| diddledan | someone over on the east, can you point your fan out a westerly facing window please to blow it my way? | 20:50 |
| gebbione | does rsync automatically remove files from remote ? | 21:20 |
| gebbione | if deleted at source? | 21:20 |
| mgdm_t | you need the --delete switch, IIRC | 21:22 |
| mapps | grmpf | 21:42 |
| mapps | still having trouble with strongswan | 21:43 |
| mapps | :( | 21:43 |
| luas | hi there | 21:57 |
| daftykins | hi | 22:01 |
| luas | i think that i destryed my pc :P | 22:03 |
| daftykins | oh dear! what's up? | 22:03 |
| luas | *destroyed | 22:04 |
| luas | i tried to upgrade from ubuntu 12.04 to 14.04 and now i cannt login :-/ | 22:04 |
| daftykins | what did you run? | 22:04 |
| luas | i faced some troubles and i run really many commands :p | 22:06 |
| luas | and that's why i told you that i destryoed my pc | 22:07 |
| daftykins | >_< | 22:08 |
| luas | ffff | 22:08 |
| daftykins | so right now you can't login graphically, but can you log in at a TTY? e.g. ctrl+alt+f1 should show a login | 22:08 |
| luas | yes, i still can get a terminal by pressing ctrl alt f1 | 22:09 |
| daftykins | so login there | 22:09 |
| luas | and i run sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and i got several errors | 22:10 |
| luas | and i cant connect to my wifi... | 22:10 |
| daftykins | why would you run that? you've already been staring at a login screen :) | 22:10 |
| luas | yes but as an error i got failed to start new session | 22:12 |
| luas | and i cannt login neither in my account nor in guest account | 22:12 |
| daftykins | ok, unfortunately i'm now in the middle of something | 22:13 |
| daftykins | ideally you want to look up the .xsession-errors file and see if there's anything in it | 22:13 |
| daftykins | also if it's a laptop, get it online temporarily via a cable if you can | 22:14 |
| daftykins | #ubuntu will have more active users | 22:14 |
| luas | ok | 22:14 |
| luas | i ll do it tomorrow. | 22:14 |
| luas | today i just want to break it | 22:14 |
| luas | lol | 22:14 |
| luas | i really thank you | 22:15 |
| luas | i ll try tomorrow to find a solution | 22:15 |
| luas | :-/ | 22:15 |
| daftykins | as long as you prepare the above, there should be plenty of assistance | 22:16 |
| luas | THANK YOU | 22:17 |
