[05:39] <OERIAS> Hello everyone,
[05:39] <OERIAS> Is anybody experiencing issues with the latest updates to Libreoffice
[05:39] <OERIAS> LibreOffice 4.3.
[05:49] <mapps> hey all
[05:49] <mapps> hey nno whats up
[05:54] <daftykins> i don't know anything about libre office
[07:36] <knightwise> morning
[07:37] <daftykins> g'day o/
[07:38] <knightwise> lshey daftykins
[07:38] <daftykins> ^_^
[07:41] <knightwise> terminator :)
[07:41] <knightwise> best app ever if you have ADD
[07:48] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[07:49] <daftykins> o/
[07:50] <daftykins> i'm watching a mate play this 'Plague, Inc' game - where the objective is to create a disease that kills all of humanity
[07:50] <daftykins> it's oddly addictive to watch
[07:50] <brobostigon> yes, i have played it before.
[08:35] <DJones> If anybody has been hit by cryptlocker, this might be userful for them http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-28661463
[08:42] <daftykins> good news indeed
[08:44] <knightwise> hmm.. been roving around on youtube for some fan created star trek series
[08:45] <knightwise> i must say . i found some horrible ones .. but also a couple of very very good ones
[09:01] <davmor2> czajkowski: what did you do to MooDoo he use to hang out here all the time, you scared him off didn't you
[09:02] <popey> more likely his new job makes it hard for him to get on irc
[09:16] <czajkowski> morning folks
[09:17] <czajkowski> davmor2: hush up you and go back to breaking things
[09:17] <davmor2> popey: shhh I like blaming czajkowski for things it makes her feel loved
[09:32] <Gargoyle> Are there any downsides to having too much swap space? Eg 30 GB in a host with only 8 GB RAM?
[09:40] <davmor2> Gargoyle: it's a waste of space
[09:40] <Gargoyle> davmor2: The space is free
[09:41] <Gargoyle> davmor2: Instance storage on AWS VM. All the other data is on EBS volumes.
[09:42] <davmor2> Gargoyle: no idea then
[09:43] <Gargoyle> By default there is no swap sapce, and we are launching all these instances with EBS mounts for real data, so I want to just use the first instance storage disk for swap. Which I think will help avoid OOM Killer disasters.
[09:51] <popey> I have worked on machines with 128GB RAM and 20GB swap space
[09:51] <czajkowski> snoring dog is very cute under my desk even when on my foot, little mini foot warmer
[09:51] <popey> heh
[10:08] <Myrtti> gggnna
[10:08] <Myrtti> 31C in Rovaniemi...

[11:05] <davmor2> popey: is the other 3% in blackcountry so not actually counted as English :D

[14:23] <mapps> and it got a better rating than the first which is promising
[15:20] <diddledan> is anyone still using truecrypt in here?
[15:21] <diddledan> if so I've started migrating to encfs for my own : https://sites.google.com/site/installationubuntu/tools/encrypt-your-dropbox-files
[15:49] <mapps> never used it seem to recall readng not to?
[16:07] <diddledan> mapps, not to use encfs for anything, or not to use it backed onto dropbox?
[16:17] <mapps> no i meant about truecrypt
[16:48] <mapps> anyone able to recommend any noise cancelling headphones ? want them for flying could barely hear anything due to noise from plane last time -- think i asked before and someone recommended ear bud ones..i cant get used to those in ear types
[17:02] <tech9> hello, I am new to Ubuntu. I am wondering if I can use Ubuntu for file hosting
[17:09] <tech9> anyone?
[17:13] <bigcalm> Yes, you can
[17:13] <bigcalm> It is a production server ready OS
[17:35] <Azelphur> OT question, As someone who has never been abroad before, about to go to Berlin, what do I need to know? :)
[17:36] <Azelphur> I have a passport, my bank seems to give me free insurance, http://www.nationwide.co.uk/products/current-accounts/flexaccount/travel-insurance
[17:37] <bigcalm> Azelphur: you'll need to tell Nationwide that you are going to use your cards abroad
[17:37] <Azelphur> I see
[17:37] <bigcalm> Which you can do via the online banking
[17:41] <shauno> pack teabags.
[17:42] <bigcalm> Oh, yes
[17:43] <bigcalm> Unless you're going on a British package holiday, the place you are staying at is unlikely to have tea bags
[17:43] <bigcalm> And if it does, they won't be the ones you want :P
[17:43] <bigcalm> I would recommend packing a small travel kettle and powered milk as well
[17:44] <bigcalm> Powdered milk has come a long way. I think it tastes better than UHT
[17:44] <shauno> I find hotels like to assume you only need one teabag per day.  or worse, one black tea, one fruit tea.  (they also either believe people drink decaff, or they ordered it 15 years ago and still haven't used it up)
[17:44] <bigcalm> Pack a mains travel adaptor and a 4 or 6 way extension block
[17:46] <shauno> oh, sockets ... the 2-pin plugs that look like they go in shaver sockets, do go in the round german sockets.  it doesn't look right, but it's apparently normal
[17:47] <bigcalm> Don't expect your shaver to fit in a mains socket (unless it says that it's a shaver socket). Take an adaptor and an extension block
[17:47] <shauno> I don't remember the last time I actually saw a shaver socket.  I just have no idea how else to describe the 2-pin plugs :)
[17:50] <bigcalm> Azelphur: are you driving there yourself?
[17:50] <Azelphur> shauno: haha, I don't drink tea \o/
[17:51] <Azelphur> bigcalm: ownCloud is flying me out o.O
[17:51] <bigcalm> I guess I should drive to the LUG soon
[17:51] <shauno> well, don't say I didn't warn you if you find yourself craving tea when surrounded by foreigners :p
[17:51] <bigcalm> davmor2: too much work on again?
[17:52] <Azelphur> shauno: haha, if I did it would be a first ;)
[17:52] <mapps> noone answered my q
[17:52] <mapps> :<
[17:53] <bigcalm> What was the question?
[17:56] <Azelphur> mapps: if you wanna fork out, get some Sennheisers.
[17:56] <Azelphur> no compromises on those things, they are amazing xD
[17:59] <bigcalm> mapps: if you are going to wear them for any decent length of time, I suggest you try wearing them. PC Hell have a collection you can try on and plug an audio source into
[18:00] <Azelphur> gah, I can't seem to find the check in time for my hotel
[18:01] <ali1234> why would you need more than 1 teabag per day? that's what teapots are for
[18:02] <bigcalm> Heh
[19:03] <davmor2> ali1234: teapots eventually get cold
[19:05] <popey> Azelphur: dont you also need to talk to someone about the new equivalent of the E111 form?
[19:06] <popey> in case you get ill and need healthcare over there? also some euros would be handy
[19:12] <mapps> this new purge is good so far
[19:12] <Azelphur> popey: I got health insurance from my bank, I thought that was all I needed
[19:12] <Myrtti> popey, Azelphur: EHIC card is good, but it won't cover repatriation in case you fall horribly ill
[19:13] <Myrtti> Azelphur: when are you going?
[19:13] <Azelphur> 25th
[19:13] <mapps> i still need to sort that EHIC
[19:13] <mapps> does it take long?
[19:14] <Myrtti> might still be able to get NHS to send one before that
[19:14] <mapps> where you going Azelphur
[19:14] <Azelphur> Berlin
[19:14] <mapps> ah cool
[19:14] <mapps> i go on 26th so i guess if you can get one in time i can
[19:14] <mapps> i usually forget to sort travel insurance :|
[19:15] <Myrtti> I had an annual one
[19:15] <popey> Myrtti: yeah, i was more thinking of popping to local docs for stuff, we've used that before on holidays
[19:16] <Azelphur> yea, my insurance covers me up to 10m in medical expenses
[19:16] <Azelphur> so should be ok
[19:17] <mapps> il just buy some insurance and apply for ehic
[19:18] <mapps> maybe i should get yearly insurance?
[19:18] <mapps> going away 4-5x this year
[19:18] <Myrtti> remember to use meerkat comparison :-P
[19:19] <mapps> :D
[19:19] <mapps> get a free meerkat soft toy
[19:41] <dutchie> Azelphur: berlin is a fantastic city
[19:41] <Azelphur> dutchie: cool :)
[19:41] <dutchie> i really want to go back there now :(
[19:46] <Azelphur> apparently you're supposed to have EHIC and travel insurance, so I went ahead and applied for one :)
[20:22] <Myrtti> Azelphur: good good
[21:10] <Gargoyle> Any cloud-init guru's around?
[21:13] <shauno> Gargoyle: if you don't get an answer here, I'd recommend #ubuntu-server for that one
[21:13] <Gargoyle> thanks shauno
[21:21] <mapps> how long you going for Azelphur
[21:21] <Azelphur> mapps: a week
[21:23] <mapps> cool
[21:23] <mapps> holiday or work?
[21:23] <Azelphur> mapps: little of column A and a little of column B, conference
[21:24] <mapps> ah
[21:24] <mapps> :)
[21:29] <shauno> berlin's a weird one for a holiday .. I found it to be thoroughly boring :/
