penguin42?00:11
mappsjust hm00:12
mappswhy does my pi crash :(00:13
penguin42because it blew it's raspberry?00:13
mapps:D00:13
penguin42powersupply? Bad SD card?00:13
mappsits well the wifi gets disconnected every time i connect to the vpn00:14
mappsdont get it00:14
ali1234cos is has really limited resources00:15
hamitronmine always crashed when using anything other than archlinux or slackware.... I should see if things are fixed now, or if my pi is just not great00:16
ali1234and the usb is really flaky00:16
mappshmm and yet everyone rants on about the pi and using it for vpns and xbmc etc00:18
mappshas anyone tried it with xbmc?00:18
ali1234i don't even have one00:18
ali1234xbmc is a different thing though. it's all gpu stuff. the gpu isn't that bad00:19
ali1234it does choke if you try to stream very high bitrates apparently, cos again, the usb sucks00:20
* hamitron has only really used the cli on it00:20
mappsah i see00:20
ali1234maybe your vpn is misconfigured.00:21
hamitronburnt out my enthusiasm getting it working, then got 100 days uptime checking it worked.... followed by unplugging it and leaving it in a drawer to stop it collecting dust ;)00:22
ali1234you know default for vpn is generally to route everything through the tunnel, right?00:22
ali1234including dns00:22
ali1234so you better hope the other end has some dns servers00:22
hamitrongl anyway, I'm off o/00:23
mapps:D00:24
mappsall this icloud and stolen photos..why does everyone believe in the 'cloud' so much? surely having your own data at home yourself or your own cloud is better..storage is so cheap00:25
penguin42mapps: Because when you want to access it from your phone/tablet/etc when you're on the go it's a pain to sync, and you've still got to backup to cope with burglary/fire/etc00:25
ali1234why are people taking nude photos of themselves all the time anyway?00:26
mappsyea i get that part of it..but seems dangerous trusting third parties with all your data00:26
ali1234kids today00:26
penguin42mapps: Well, is it actually any more dangerous than your ISPs router ?  (It's also not obvious where the problem happened this time)00:27
penguin42ali1234: Indeed that does seem a more appropriate question00:27
mappstrue00:27
ali1234allegedly someone found an apple login form with no brute force protection00:27
mappsthat seems crazy00:28
ali1234so yeah i'd say it is more dangerous than the ISP router.. cos that doesn't keep a copy of everything00:28
penguin42true, but it could let into your internal network00:29
ali1234yeah but if someone starts brute forcing your hoe server it wil probably just crash00:29
penguin42mapps: it's also because generally they probably wanted to share the pictures with someone; I mean I doubt they'd taken nudes of themselves purely for their own grattification00:29
ali1234er... home00:29
ali1234that was unfortunate00:29
ali1234it seems like either they could get into every account and we're just seeing the "interesting" stuff, or literally everyone on icloud spends all their free time sexting00:34
penguin42well, they are by definition vain mac/iphone owners00:34
hamitronali1234, last line looks like a free advert ;)00:34
* hamitron signs up00:35
ali1234i guess another possibility is an inside job00:36
penguin42possibly not the best choice of words, but possibly00:37
penguin42I'd hope their was enough safeguarding to make it difficult for an apple staff member to do it00:38

switchtehbeatyep, there's no girls on the Internet....are there any girls lurking here? I could really do with your help! :(17:02
Azelphur!ask | switchtehbeat17:05
lubotu3switchtehbeat: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience17:05
switchtehbeatI'm a little too shy to say here tbh17:06
Azelphurwhelp, can't help without a question17:07
Myrtti'women' maybe, dunno about the girls17:17
switchtehbeata woman would be good too lol17:27
switchtehbeatI wanna start online dating but not sure what to say :/17:35
diddledan_#ubuntu-uk changed it's name to #dating-advice?17:37
popeyswitchtehbeat: the truth17:38
switchtehbeatyeah, didn't you know?17:38
switchtehbeat:P17:38
Azelphuryea, the best place to start would be a dating website and not #ubuntu-uk :P17:38
Azelphuraww, he left and I was actually about to give him an actual decent answer.17:38
Myrttiwell17:42
Myrttigetting to know people in IRC isn't unheard of17:42
AzelphurMyrtti: indeed it isn't, but that has to happen naturally and not be solicited17:43
Azelphurunless you're in #dating :P17:43
MyrttiI know one couple that just recently got engaged and for all I know married too, that got to know each other on Ubuntu IRC channels.17:44
Azelphurcool :)17:44
* penguin42 wonders if they use MATE17:44
AzelphurMyrtti: yea, not disputing that it does happen, just that it's rare, and I also highly doubt either of them came to #ubuntu-uk asking for a date :P17:44
MyrttiI'm not a great advocate of dating sites17:44
AzelphurMyrtti: me either, having used a bunch of them.17:44
popeys/used/hacked/17:44
popey17:44
Azelphurpopey: why not both? :P17:45
Azelphuralthough my answer would be blind leading the blind considering I'm still single xD17:46
Azelphurbut, myself I think volunteering at places is great for meeting people, and plus it's fun17:47
popeyi was having this very discussion with another internet singleton yesterday and suggested volunteering17:49
Azelphuryea, imo it's the way to go, it's very rewarding without the date, and if you get a date while doing it then bonus :)17:50

diddledan_I've not got a good enough connection to get it to work19:24
popeyAzelphur: also ask it what does the fox say19:24
Azelphurpopey: done that, but this is far more brilliant than what does the fox say :P19:25

moreatiyes, no21:00
bigcalmI've been handed a 60% discount code. Wondered if it was worth attending21:00
bigcalmAww, you're no use :P21:00
moreatiit clashes with PyCon UK, but also the talks didn't interest me enough for the price21:02
bigcalmJust seen the price, humf21:02
bigcalmEven at 44 quid, don't think I will21:03
bigcalmNumbers are fun. Just built version #128 of a project21:10
shaunoyou know you're a nerd when 128 is a "nice round number" :)21:26
bigcalm:D21:35
moreatijust whatever you do, don't call "or 1 MB" in year 9 maths class when the teacher announces the answer is 1024. Children have long memories21:50
shaunoit's not just children :/21:53
penguin42and when you think that year 9 would only be at 512....21:53
shaunoI've lost track of the amount of things I've caught by realising that, eg, "32767 is a suspiciously round number".  but I still get odd looks for it21:53
penguin42shauno: I started thinking that '65000' was a common number in news stories and graphed commonly occuring numbers (it isn't particularly...)21:54
