[10:42] zmoylan-pi: when it was at the baths, there wasn't gate crashers, it was more respectable and smaller, now it's just commercialised nonsense [10:46] wow [10:46] gumblemode off [10:46] I think they just moved to a bigger venue because it was too popular to fit there [10:48] ah i'm just a grumpy so and so....lol miss my faggots and chips lol [10:49] * zmoylan-pi eyes beans on toast for lunch [10:50] i see the ubuntu uk page on facebook hasn't been updated since nov 2013 lol [11:14] Yeah,. pffft facebook, who uses _that_!? [11:17] I think it's a well-recognised truth that Facebook uses *you*.... [11:17] if the page is unupdated, maybe it's because it's getting no engagement on facebook [11:17] I signed up to ello yesterday [11:18] not the 1st place i think of when i think of technical/tech curious people [11:18] Some of us signed up to Ello [11:18] It's comedically awful hipstercode [11:18] only one i use is twitter and i can see myself giving up on that [11:18] I like Twitter, I don't like their official Android client any more, because it has permissions creeop [11:18] oh and diaspora as it's super geeky [11:19] Any recommendations for an OSS twitter client for Android? [11:19] plume is what i use on android, ads are annoying but it's like tweetdeck used to be [11:26] i use plume because multi accounts but the ads are really annoying [11:26] and the premium vrsion is too expensive === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away [12:22] I have a british problem [12:22] http://www.reddit.com/r/britishproblems/comments/2ir3zk/the_man_from_the_electricty_board_is_sheltering/ [12:23] just open the door, make him move and say "good Day" [12:25] take him a cup of tea [12:25] I almost offered a mug to the DPD courier that brought the new toner cartridge [12:25] I work next door to a dpd in nottingham so easy to get parcels delivered to me, in fact i go collect them :D [12:27] as you leave hand him a cheap umberella? [12:28] hey MooDoo Myrtti zmoylan-pi [12:28] hey knightwise [12:28] howdy knightwise how are you on this fine day [12:29] doing ok :) Working from home today .. Work laptop on the left , linux laptop on the right .. you know how it is [12:29] yeah, work laptop on the left, home laptop on my right [12:30] here i am [12:30] laptop in front of me, sshed into the pi behind me :-p [12:30] stuck in the middle with an ipad [12:30] haha :) I'm working on a macbook air .. So [12:30] running 14.04 [12:31] Finland has postal ninjas that come to the door, supposedly knock, then leave after scribbling a note that a parcel didn't fit through and nobody was at home. [12:31] nice, just installed 14.04 this morning on mine, thinking about doing the upgrade to 14.10 seeing as it's about 3 weeks away [12:31] We, however, seem to have a postal troll. [12:32] belgian postal office workers get stuck licking stamps from time to time [12:32] they are so slow the glue dries halfway through the lick [12:32] one came about today, fiddled around the mail hatch, fiddled with the lid, left. Went to check: no mail. [12:32] lid-fiddlers ... [12:32] pervo's ! [12:35] yeah, it's getting to the point you need a grid of detection lasers to notice the postal ninjas :-) [12:35] or a bear trap [12:36] Postal guy for me is an old friend, and all other deliveries I get sent to work so win win for me [12:37] + he lives about 200 yards up the road as well + I get post once a fornight if that \o/ [12:37] i like living in the sticks -- the postman asked if he could sign for my parcels and leave them in my back porch if i was out <3 [12:40] that sounds awesoem [12:40] living in the sticks rocks [12:41] I've made a promise to buy all my tech stuff online this year [12:41] no more impulse buying in the shop [12:41] knightwise: how long will that last lol [12:42] been going pretty well actually [12:42] I allmost bought a chromebook .. thought about it , researched it .. and decided not to [12:42] yay [12:42] we also cut the cord and canceled out cable subscription 2 months ago and thats going fine too [12:43] i'm realy trying to become more aware when i'm being "herded" into buying something i dont need [12:43] wow, i must admin everything online that I used i cancelled, the only think I can think I have is netflix [12:44] saying goodbye to Radio and Tv helps a lot in that account. [12:44] MooDoo: We have netflix , but I havent used it a lot. [12:44] Bbc iplayer + youtube [12:44] and some torrentz [12:44] we just dont watch that much TV anymore [12:44] yeah about the same here.....strange we have virgin for broadband sky for telly and i watch most on the pooter [12:45] Same here We watch a LOT via plex and chromecast [12:46] I've had a chromecast plugged in for ages, barely use it [12:46] Daily , we have one in the living room and one in the bedroom [12:50] Keep debating buying one myself [12:51] its not that expensive .. See it as a "line in" for your tv [12:51] use a pi instead as it's more flexible? [12:51] they are handy if you have things to stream [12:51] 1 x hdmi slot ( Old old LCD ) [12:51] :/ [12:51] Yeah, the main thing holding me back from upgrades to my media setup is SD vs HD [12:51] Too skint to buy new telly really [12:51] I have a 15 year old MythTV box [12:51] Ancient Sempron running it [12:52] But it just keeps going [12:52] I have a Revo + microserver [12:52] But SD out only [12:52] If I get a new screen I'd have to replace the lot [12:52] I have our mac mini hooked up to the tv .. it s our media machine but also our VM host and stuff [12:52] I am entering a new job where I think I will probably have a need for a server [12:53] Don't know whether to get hosting out there or host it at home [12:53] small question. I would love to install Feednix [12:53] but what packace do I actually download here ? https://github.com/Jarkore/Feednix [12:54] Package? That's a Git repo [12:54] Confronted with that I'd clone the repo and build it [12:54] yeah looks like a build from source [12:55] Or use a PPA : https://launchpad.net/~unity-webapps-feedly/+archive/ubuntu/stable [12:55] .. which isn't up to date [12:55] hah was just gooingling that myself [12:55] erm .. clone the repo ? [12:55] how do i do that again ? [12:55] Which dead PPA can mean that the package was accepted of course [12:56] knightwise, it's a Git repository. Git is a version control system. You need to install Git, and do [12:56] git clone https://launchpad.net/~unity-webapps-feedly/+archive/ubuntu/stable [12:56] Oops [12:56] git clone https://github.com/Jarkore/Feednix.git [12:56] Then you need to build it... [12:57] There's a unity thing for it too... ;https://github.com/eudennis/unity-webapps-feedly [12:57] ok , i did the clone git command bu t.. now what ? [12:57] cd Feednix [12:58] make [12:58] See what happens [12:58] the site says i should run the autogetn.sh scipt , [12:58] Sounds like you should then [12:58] but ..where is it ? [12:58] aha [12:58] In the folder you just clojned [12:58] found ti [12:58] Building packages from source is Linux in "Veteran" mode [12:59] If you want "hard mode" you use something like Arch or Gentoo [13:00] grrr error in the autogen.sh script [13:13] knightwise, It's usually missing dependencies [13:14] knightwise, If you can work out what it is, install that package, but with a -dev on the end [13:14] That installs the headers so the compiler can build things that call those libraries [13:20] ok , i'll try to give it a go [13:22] knightwise, [13:22] If it's ubuntu below where it tells you to make there is a list of dependancies Ubuntu needs [13:23] Thank you @chrisjohnston for mentioning the following dependencies for Ubuntu: [13:23] sudo apt-get install dh-autoreconf libjsoncpp-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev libncurses5-dev [13:36] Igot it :) [13:37] now to work out the config file [13:37] :) [13:39] pretty interesting stuff :) i love these little command line apps :) [13:40] Hi all...

Ecuador [13:53] selinuxium: I'd second DRBD if you want to replicate data, or you could just use something like rsync, depending on your requirements [13:54] I'll look into it.. :) [13:56] davmor2: lana del rey [13:57] davmor2: although just put on sah [13:57] sash [14:10] MooDoo: and now you're smiling right? [14:15] yeah lol [14:16] MooDoo: it's just one of those tunes you can't help it :) [14:17] MooDoo: Corona Rhythm of the night [14:18] oh now your dragging them out. [14:18] MooDoo: I have a long, long list of them. [14:19] MooDoo: Starts at 2Ulimited and ends at ZZtop [14:20] MooDoo: Outhere Brothers Wiggle, and boom boom boom, but find the radio edit if you are work :) [14:21] not often you'll find someone who'll admit that in public ;) [14:23] shauno: 2unlimited was on a compilation cd but it is in my music library, also it is a tune that puts a smile on my face which is all I want from music [14:24] no 1direction? :-) [14:24] but .. outhere brothers? [14:25] shauno: hahaha [14:26] zmoylan-pi: you must be mistaking me for dick_turpin [14:26] no i wouldn't be that mean :-) [14:26] I actually remember getting that album. or rather, I remember bribing my best friend's sister's boyfriend to buy it for us, because woolies were quite strict about the naughty label. [14:33] any one know a quick way of disabling fast user switching un ubuntu lts desktop? [14:35] MooDoo: no [14:36] shauno: haha [14:41] it's ok i've sussed it [14:42] turns out the electricity board guys have dug a big hole in my garden [14:42] without telling me [14:42] "I did knock on your door, heh!" [14:43] are they even allowed to do that? [14:43] i dunno. [14:43] I would have thought private property meant that [14:43] claim that they've descecrated fluffies last resting place? [14:50] anyone know someone looking for a job? [14:51] linux job [14:51] all round geeky dude job [14:51] o/ but you're too far away :/ [14:51] vmware job [14:51] lots of jobs, me [14:53] foobarry: at a uni right?

[16:49] yeah, someone online could be wrong [16:49] i've been in a pub before when mainlanders have been having a huge discussion about the right motorway to take to get from A to B [16:50] it's hilariously painful ;D [16:50] haha [16:52] my father in law spends hours planning journeys [16:52] i use google maps [16:53] i just use my car's satnav [16:54] 2006 map disc, no postcode db [17:00] there's a neat free downloadable-maps app on android a friend pointed me to [17:00] 'NavFree' i think it's called [17:02] I've been using HERE mostly recently [17:04] Azelphur: using the oyster as much as possible may not be the cheapest way to do it === alan_g is now known as alan_g|EOD [17:51] popey: thanks for retweeting that BBC tweet :) [17:52] popey: configured my PVR (software) to record that now ;) [18:03] what programme?

[22:32] but nobody giving the "incontrovertible evidence" against that they demand in favour of the device [22:33] there are scams like this every year [22:33] basically it's vapour in both directions as far as I can tell [22:33] nobody with proof it works and nobody with proof it doesn\t [22:33] we'll know someone has cracked fusion when the price of volcano secret lairs has a price bubble :-) [22:33] that's like asking for proof that david copperfield didn't really fly over the great wall of china of whatever he did [22:35] if it was real, there would be no need for the inventor to carry out these staged demonstrations for proof === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away
