[05:39] <knightwise> hey OERIAS
[05:39] <OERIAS> Shalom
[05:39] <knightwise> how are you man ?
[05:40] <OERIAS> Really good just out here playing with a few new toys.
[05:41] <knightwise> Same here , what do you have to play with ?
[05:57] <knightwise> hey rubytor
[06:08] <Myrtti> innit a 'brilliant' feeling when you've slept like two hours last night and poorly the whole week, and when you get online (fortunately no need to go out of home to work) everything is just sub-par your expectations, people complaining, and you just comfortably slip into the misanthropic zone of mind. yyyyyaaaaayyyhh. I should just dig a hole and hide in there for a day.
[06:12] <OERIAS> knightwise, a galaxy tab and an s4.
[06:15] <Myrtti> AHHAHHAHAHHAHAHHA burst water main in the village
[06:15] <Myrtti> aint that great
[06:15] <knightwise> Both nice devices .  I have a galaxy tab pro for my main tablet and reading .. and a note 3 which i love
[06:15] <Myrtti> I'm reduced to tears.
[06:42] <Myrtti> I know mobile signal amplifiers are illegal in Finland but are they illegal in UK, too?
[06:59] <MartijnVdS> aren't they illegal everywhere?
[06:59] <MartijnVdS> I mean.. Vodafone have their "plug this into an outlet in your home and you'll have better coverage" boxes.. but those are owned (and secured) by them
[07:00] <Myrtti> well if they sell them openly in US, one would assume they're not illegal there
[07:02] <Myrtti> http://consumers.ofcom.org.uk/phone/mobile-phones/coverage/mobile-repeaters/
[07:02] <Myrtti> little googling helped
[07:41] <MooDoo> morning all
[07:55] <popey> Myrtti: interesting, I didn't realise they were banned here
[08:28] <knightwise> morning everyone
[08:28] <directhex> is it?
[08:28] <knightwise> directhex: try opening blinds
[08:28] <knightwise> the daystar has risen !
[08:28] <knightwise> ( at least in my part of the world)
[08:28] <directhex> IT BURNS
[08:28] <directhex> YOUR WORLD ORBITS A BALL OF FIRE
[08:29] <knightwise> When I go outside and watch the sky, there are no icons in the upper left corner .. why is that ?
[08:32] <foobarry> stupid cough :(
[08:33] <knightwise> foobarry: its the "sumautumn""
[08:34] <shauno> monsoon season here :/
[08:34] <Myrtti> it's rained so much that most of the ripest tomatoes have split
[08:34] <Myrtti> it's a bit disappointing
[08:35] <Myrtti> knightwise: upper left? not upper right?
[08:35] <knightwise> Myrtti: structuropath
[08:36] <knightwise> we are said to get better weather next week
[08:46] <MartijnVdS> knightwise: they always say that
[08:47] <brobostigon> morning, boys and girls.
[08:48] <MartijnVdS> hey brobostigon
[08:49] <brobostigon> morning MartijnVdS
[09:03] <knightwise> hey brobostigon , MartijnVdS
[09:09] <bigcalm> Good morning peeps :)
[09:09] <popey> yo
[09:10] <bigcalm> Ho ho
[09:16] <knightwise> Hey popey bigcalm !
[10:00] <directhex> http://games.on.net/2014/08/readers-threatened-by-equality-not-welcome/
[10:04] <shauno> that's a bit more sane than I expect from a gaming site.  quelle surprise?
[10:11] <bigcalm> My boss is sending me a USB stick formatted as a MacOSX drive. Can Ubuntu 14.04 mount it?
[10:12] <zmoylan-pi> i think it can read it
[10:12] <zmoylan-pi> not write
[10:12] <bigcalm> I don't need to write, just read
[10:12] <directhex> hfsplus works
[10:12] <zmoylan-pi> http://askubuntu.com/questions/332315/how-to-read-and-write-hfs-journaled-external-hdd-in-ubuntu-without-access-to-os
[10:12] <MartijnVdS> in that case you're probably in luck
[10:13] <bigcalm> We (me) need to set up a bittorrent tracker system for the company. We're all work from home people and need to shift large amounts of data about. Is there a recommended tracker?
[10:14] <knightwise> I use bittorrent sync
[10:14] <knightwise> it works very reliable
[10:14]  * popey tuts
[10:14] <popey> syncthing!
[10:15] <popey> bigcalm: how many people?
[10:15] <bigcalm> popey: 4 at the moment, may grow
[10:16] <popey> syncthing!
[10:16] <opalepatrick> I have had a prob with ubuntu since 13.10 I think. Grub just locks so I cant select other distros, just the default, which luckily is ubuntu that I work with.
[10:17] <opalepatrick> I fix it with boot-repair, it works, then when I get any sort of update it seems, it freezes again
[10:18] <opalepatrick> I used to think it was only on header updates only, but it seems to happen regardless.
[10:20] <awilkins> bigcalm, Have you considered something like a Synctus (or other block-syncing NAS storage system) ?
[10:21] <foobarry> so zinio went down last night. my app wouldnt run and i couldn't access my magz
[10:21] <foobarry> so much for offline reading
[10:24] <foobarry> tweets to zinion cust support not replied 14h later
[10:24] <awilkins> DRM!
[10:29] <opalepatrick> any ideas ^^^?
[10:32] <foobarry> your arrow key is broken?
[10:34] <opalepatrick> thanks foobarry
[10:37] <foobarry> if you tap a key on the grub scren does it stay there waiting for you to press enter
[10:42] <bigcalm> Bother, they left
[10:43] <bigcalm> I was going to say to try chaning the USB port the keyboard is plugged into. I have 3 keyboards connected to this machine, not all of them are active during GRUB
[10:46] <directhex> especially with uefi
[10:46] <directhex> where "fast boot" disables the keyboard
[10:54] <knightwise> I just saved 4 hp laptops from the scrapheap
[10:55] <knightwise> some school was gonna throw them out
[10:55] <foobarry> maybe they thought i was being facetious ;)
[10:56] <knightwise> NC6120
[10:56] <knightwise> probably slap LXLE on them and give them away to students or kids who might need one
[14:47] <foobarry> !ping
[18:55] <MartijnVdS> whoa, new steam icon
[18:55] <foobarry> did everyone have a day off today or what?
[18:59] <popey> i was super busy today
[19:04] <MartijnVdS> me too
[22:20] <BigRedS> I went to EMF camp
[22:23] <popey> i kinda wish i did
[22:29] <BigRedS> It's a bit quieter than  was expecting
[22:29] <BigRedS> I mostly came because we decided at work to have a lan party tent
[22:38] <ali1234> i don't understand this gif http://i.imgur.com/RQLNH2X.gif
[22:39] <ali1234> specifically i don't understand why it's supposed to be funny
[22:43] <BigRedS> that looks like a fantastically complex way of not needing to push-start the car
[22:49] <ali1234> yeah, i figured there's a reason they can't push start it, like the ground is too rough
[22:49] <ali1234> as for the thing getting wrapped around the wheel. just put the gear in neutral and apply the brake, then remove it
[22:50] <ali1234> so i don't understand the joke
[22:55] <OERIAS> Anyone here tried Oracle Linnux
