[00:10] <mapps> hm
[00:11] <penguin42> ?
[00:12] <mapps> just hm
[00:13] <mapps> why does my pi crash :(
[00:13] <penguin42> because it blew it's raspberry?
[00:13] <mapps> :D
[00:13] <penguin42> powersupply? Bad SD card?
[00:14] <mapps> its well the wifi gets disconnected every time i connect to the vpn
[00:14] <mapps> dont get it
[00:15] <ali1234> cos is has really limited resources
[00:16] <hamitron> mine 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 great
[00:16] <ali1234> and the usb is really flaky
[00:18] <mapps> hmm and yet everyone rants on about the pi and using it for vpns and xbmc etc
[00:18] <mapps> has anyone tried it with xbmc?
[00:18] <ali1234> i don't even have one
[00:19] <ali1234> xbmc is a different thing though. it's all gpu stuff. the gpu isn't that bad
[00:20] <ali1234> it does choke if you try to stream very high bitrates apparently, cos again, the usb sucks
[00:20]  * hamitron has only really used the cli on it
[00:20] <mapps> ah i see
[00:21] <ali1234> maybe your vpn is misconfigured.
[00:22] <hamitron> burnt 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] <ali1234> you know default for vpn is generally to route everything through the tunnel, right?
[00:22] <ali1234> including dns
[00:22] <ali1234> so you better hope the other end has some dns servers
[00:23] <hamitron> gl anyway, I'm off o/
[00:24] <mapps> :D
[00:25] <mapps> all 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 cheap
[00:25] <penguin42> mapps: 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/etc
[00:26] <ali1234> why are people taking nude photos of themselves all the time anyway?
[00:26] <mapps> yea i get that part of it..but seems dangerous trusting third parties with all your data
[00:26] <ali1234> kids today
[00:27] <penguin42> mapps: Well, is it actually any more dangerous than your ISPs router ?  (It's also not obvious where the problem happened this time)
[00:27] <penguin42> ali1234: Indeed that does seem a more appropriate question
[00:27] <mapps> true
[00:27] <ali1234> allegedly someone found an apple login form with no brute force protection
[00:28] <mapps> that seems crazy
[00:28] <ali1234> so yeah i'd say it is more dangerous than the ISP router.. cos that doesn't keep a copy of everything
[00:29] <penguin42> true, but it could let into your internal network
[00:29] <ali1234> yeah but if someone starts brute forcing your hoe server it wil probably just crash
[00:29] <penguin42> mapps: 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 grattification
[00:29] <ali1234> er... home
[00:29] <ali1234> that was unfortunate
[00:34] <ali1234> it 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 sexting
[00:34] <penguin42> well, they are by definition vain mac/iphone owners
[00:34] <hamitron> ali1234, last line looks like a free advert ;)
[00:35]  * hamitron signs up
[00:36] <ali1234> i guess another possibility is an inside job
[00:37] <penguin42> possibly not the best choice of words, but possibly
[00:38] <penguin42> I'd hope their was enough safeguarding to make it difficult for an apple staff member to do it
[04:35] <OERIAS> Any one here with thoughts on Galaxy Tab S?
[07:08] <map> hi
[07:25] <Myrtti> I'm looking at Google Streetview stuff inside a museum for the first time ever
[07:25] <awilkins> 100 Objects?
[07:28] <Myrtti> https://plus.google.com/u/0/+GoogleMaps/posts/47h7t7DPTpD
[07:57]  * DJones wonders which street the dinosour exhibits are on
[07:57] <DJones> I remember reading about google bringing in some hand held/backpack street view camera's so they could do things like that
[08:00] <DJones> Myrtti: Backpack street view camera's http://www.gadgetreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Trekker-Backpack.jpeg  http://www.gadgetreview.com/2013/07/now-you-and-your-friends-can-borrow-a-google-street-view-camera.html
[08:06] <Myrtti> http://areena.yle.fi/tv/2367026
[08:15] <DJones> THat looks better than the backpack cameras
[08:15] <DJones> Probably a lot more stable as well
[08:26] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[08:41] <JamesTait> Good morning all; happy Great Fire of London Day! :-D
[08:47]  * davmor2 sets fire to London to celebrate
[08:47] <davmor2> damn they learnt their lesson and built it out of non flamable stuff
[08:48] <DJones> The Scotland, Wales, Ireland and the North of England joins in the celebration
[10:03] <foobarry> i've got the wii sports resort song stuck in my head today
[10:03] <foobarry> better than "in the night garden" yesterday though
[10:11] <awilkins> Wii Sports Resort + In the Night Garden ....   Archery would be very satisfying with a different targets
[10:11] <foobarry> lol
[10:11] <foobarry> hello iggle piggle OOOF
[10:12] <awilkins> Mini-game : Make the longest Tombliboo kebab you can.
[11:29] <bigcalm> Good morning peeps :)
[11:32] <popey> word
[11:32] <brobostigon> afternoodlings bigcalm
[11:33] <bigcalm> the
[11:35] <davmor2> popey: up, it's the code word
[16:50] <bigcalm> Can one check the battery % from the CLI on a laptop?
[16:51] <MartijnVdS> bigcalm: in /sys/ somewhere
[16:51] <MartijnVdS> find /sys -iname \*batt\*
[16:51] <bigcalm> upower, found it :)
[16:52] <bigcalm> To find out paths: upower -e
[16:52] <bigcalm> Then upower -i /some/path/for/battery
[17:02] <switchtehbeat> yep, there's no girls on the Internet....are there any girls lurking here? I could really do with your help! :(
[17:05] <Azelphur> !ask | switchtehbeat
[17:06] <switchtehbeat> I'm a little too shy to say here tbh
[17:07] <Azelphur> whelp, can't help without a question
[17:17] <Myrtti> 'women' maybe, dunno about the girls
[17:27] <switchtehbeat> a woman would be good too lol
[17:35] <switchtehbeat> I wanna start online dating but not sure what to say :/
[17:37] <diddledan_> #ubuntu-uk changed it's name to #dating-advice?
[17:38] <popey> switchtehbeat: the truth
[17:38] <switchtehbeat> yeah, didn't you know?
[17:38] <switchtehbeat> :P
[17:38] <Azelphur> yea, the best place to start would be a dating website and not #ubuntu-uk :P
[17:38] <Azelphur> aww, he left and I was actually about to give him an actual decent answer.
[17:42] <Myrtti> well
[17:42] <Myrtti> getting to know people in IRC isn't unheard of
[17:43] <Azelphur> Myrtti: indeed it isn't, but that has to happen naturally and not be solicited
[17:43] <Azelphur> unless you're in #dating :P
[17:44] <Myrtti> I 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] <Azelphur> cool :)
[17:44]  * penguin42 wonders if they use MATE
[17:44] <Azelphur> Myrtti: 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 :P
[17:44] <Myrtti> I'm not a great advocate of dating sites
[17:44] <Azelphur> Myrtti: me either, having used a bunch of them.
[17:44] <popey> s/used/hacked/
[17:44] <popey> ☻
[17:45] <Azelphur> popey: why not both? :P
[17:46] <Azelphur> although my answer would be blind leading the blind considering I'm still single xD
[17:47] <Azelphur> but, myself I think volunteering at places is great for meeting people, and plus it's fun
[17:49] <popey> i was having this very discussion with another internet singleton yesterday and suggested volunteering
[17:50] <Azelphur> yea, 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 :)
[19:10] <Azelphur> If you want to laugh hysterically, grab an Android phone and ask it "how many zeros in a googol"
[19:10] <Azelphur> (in google now)
[19:24] <diddledan_> I've not got a good enough connection to get it to work
[19:24] <popey> Azelphur: also ask it what does the fox say
[19:25] <Azelphur> popey: done that, but this is far more brilliant than what does the fox say :P
[19:25] <diddledan_> bloomin middle-of-nowhere in devon
[19:25] <Azelphur> hehe
[19:25] <popey> i gave one of my nexus 7's to sophie
[19:27] <Azelphur> popey: I gave my 2012 to my mum, she loves it, plays scrabble on it all the time
[19:27] <foobarry> diddledan_: whereabouts?
[19:28] <diddledan_> foobarry: in the country surrounding axminster - somewhere called colyton
[19:29] <foobarry> devon does midle of nowhere  very well
[19:29] <foobarry> i see you are near Beer
[19:29] <diddledan_> yeah
[19:29] <popey> nice down there
[19:30] <diddledan_> true, is very pretty, but no internet at all
[19:31] <foobarry> we had wifi in the cottage, but no mobile signal
[19:31] <foobarry> for miles around
[19:31] <diddledan_> yeah we've got wifi but it is very intermittant
[19:34] <popey> i recall going to a place in the middle of nowhere down there, got a little 2G along a dark path
[19:34] <popey> photo somewhere of me with my laptop on a fencepost
[20:03] <bigcalm> Evening Alex
[20:07] <moreati> yo
[20:27] <popey> word
[20:30] <moreati> bigcalm: from your tweet this morning I was expecting a 'we're expecting' photo. The pink elephant was a bit of an anti climax
[20:31] <bigcalm> Purple :)
[20:33] <moreati> royalty eh
[20:34] <moreati> I only just twigged, https://twitter.com/bigcalm/status/502072369364873216 is probably why most pills taste so nasty
[20:35] <bigcalm> Aye
[20:59] <bigcalm> moreati: heard of / attending Hackference in Brum?
[21:00] <moreati> yes, no
[21:00] <bigcalm> I've been handed a 60% discount code. Wondered if it was worth attending
[21:00] <bigcalm> Aww, you're no use :P
[21:02] <moreati> it clashes with PyCon UK, but also the talks didn't interest me enough for the price
[21:02] <bigcalm> Just seen the price, humf
[21:03] <bigcalm> Even at 44 quid, don't think I will
[21:10] <bigcalm> Numbers are fun. Just built version #128 of a project
[21:26] <shauno> you know you're a nerd when 128 is a "nice round number" :)
[21:35] <bigcalm> :D
[21:50] <moreati> just 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 memories
[21:53] <shauno> it's not just children :/
[21:53] <penguin42> and when you think that year 9 would only be at 512....
[21:53] <shauno> I'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 it
[21:54] <penguin42> shauno: I started thinking that '65000' was a common number in news stories and graphed commonly occuring numbers (it isn't particularly...)
[23:50] <Daryl> #ubuntu-for-all
[23:50] <Daryl> oops
