| diddledan | random user in #haxe thought that reinstalling their IDE would fix a compile issue with their code | 03:13 |
|---|---|---|
| diddledan | don't you love how windows users do that?! | 03:14 |
| daftykins | :D | 03:14 |
| daftykins | turn it off and on again! | 03:14 |
| diddledan | step one in diagnosis: reainstall all the things | 03:14 |
| diddledan | --a | 03:14 |
| daftykins | nuke it from orbit | 03:14 |
| diddledan | it's nuts | 03:14 |
| daftykins | weird one in #ubuntu earlier, some users getting their graphics device show up as vmware due to using that galium version or something (i don't have a clue what i'm talking about on that front) | 03:15 |
| daftykins | so suddenly you start thinking they're using a VM and lying to you, but newp | 03:15 |
| diddledan | o_O | 03:15 |
| diddledan | really?! | 03:15 |
| daftykins | *nod* | 03:15 |
| diddledan | it reports a vmware card even when not virutal?! | 03:15 |
| daftykins | hang on might still have the link | 03:16 |
| daftykins | https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=175164 | 03:16 |
| diddledan | that really is wonky | 03:16 |
| diddledan | oh. permissions. the user wasn't allowed to access the hardware | 03:17 |
| diddledan | this is why x starts as root on most systems | 03:18 |
| diddledan | donno why he was running it under a user account manually | 03:18 |
| diddledan | oh, that haxe user just uttered: "I'm in the process of re installing again, even though I can see everything was installed to the right path." | 03:18 |
| diddledan | doing it _again_ because doing it once didn't work! | 03:19 |
| daftykins | lmao | 03:19 |
| daftykins | diddledan: you must share this pearl of wisdom: "what is the definition of insanity? doing the exact same thing and expecting a different result!" | 03:19 |
| diddledan | flogging a dead donky | 03:19 |
| diddledan | lol | 03:20 |
| diddledan | I suppose probability might come into it - the law of averages suggests that if he does it enough times he'll end up with shakespear | 03:20 |
| daftykins | but there are no monkeys? | 03:23 |
| diddledan | oh, good point | 03:23 |
| daftykins | unless.. dan! you're not being rude to users again are you? :) | 03:23 |
| diddledan | hmm | 03:23 |
| diddledan | lol | 03:24 |
| diddledan | me? rude? nevar! | 03:25 |
| daftykins | :D | 03:28 |
| daftykins | hmm just fed the next Sopranos bluray into my xbox | 03:28 |
| daftykins | i don't really trust slot loaders | 03:28 |

| knightwise | how are you on this gloomy monday | 09:11 |
| christel | not too bad! could have done with an extra hour in bed! yourself? :) | 09:11 |
| knightwise | same :) working from home today , so I kept the PJ's on as long as possible | 09:12 |
| knightwise | Currently snuggle up with a book in the dark for about half an hour before I get ready for work :) | 09:12 |
| brobostigon | morning christel :) | 09:12 |

| brobostigon | morning davmor2 | 09:17 |
| knightwise | hmmm.. raspberry pi is misbehaving | 09:30 |
| * knightwise is gonna kick it into the dmz and make it think about what its done | 09:31 | |
| MartijnVdS | knightwise: "it"? a windows machine? | 09:37 |
| knightwise | Raspbian running pi | 09:38 |
| MartijnVdS | what did it do wrong | 09:39 |
| knightwise | retropi and my controller wont play nice | 09:39 |
| knightwise | documentation is crap | 09:39 |
| MartijnVdS | what's retropi? | 09:39 |
| zmoylan-pi | bad documentation... open source... you don't day :-) | 09:40 |
| zmoylan-pi | *say | 09:40 |
| MartijnVdS | some open source stuff has awesome docs | 09:40 |
| zmoylan-pi | those are people reading the code :-) | 09:40 |
| MartijnVdS | zmoylan-pi: have you *seen* the coreutils code? I prefer the man pages ;) | 09:43 |
| knightwise | I'm trying to turn it into a retro gaming machine | 09:44 |
| knightwise | Retropi = Raspberry pi + emulation station | 09:45 |
| awilkins | An emulator distro | 09:45 |
| awilkins | Drop ROMs and disk images into it, pow, instant gaming | 09:45 |
| awilkins | (for given values of "instant" that involve making SDCard images and SSHing files) | 09:46 |
| knightwise | and getting the friggin controllers working (my current issue) | 09:46 |
| awilkins | Are we talking something like a std. XBox / PC controller? | 09:46 |
| knightwise | correct . I got me a PS3 usb controller just to make it standard | 09:47 |
| Laney | today is will-nest-installer-keep-his-third-appointment day | 09:47 |
| Laney | place your bets | 09:47 |
| MartijnVdS | oh that sounds cool | 09:47 |
| MartijnVdS | Laney: maybe he has some Yodel packages to deliver first | 09:47 |
| Laney | SORRY YOU WERE OUT | 09:48 |
| MartijnVdS | "But you installed my thermostat" "Yeah but you weren't in a state to accept packages" | 09:52 |
| knightwise | "in a state" as in "wearing pants when you opened the door ? " | 09:54 |
| zmoylan-pi | wouldn't you need a kempston joystick for retro pi? :-) | 09:54 |
| knightwise | it would be cool zmoylan-pi | 09:54 |

| zmoylan-pi | and if you were nekkid when they arrived to deliver a package you were technically 'out' :-P | 09:55 |
| MartijnVdS | zmoylan-pi: what if you're closeted though.. then you're never "out" | 09:55 |

| knightwise | happy monday to you | 10:58 |
| zmoylan-pi | happy... monday...? | 10:58 |
| * zmoylan-pi looks askance at knightwise | 10:58 | |
| MartijnVdS | zmoylan-pi: he's Belgian. They don't know better :P | 10:58 |
| knightwise | zmoylan-pi: waves pink fluffy unicorn at zmoylan-pi | 10:58 |
| * zmoylan-pi shoots unicorn with nerf and mounts head on wall | 10:59 | |
| * knightwise takes out garden hose to flood MartijnVdS 's country | 10:59 | |
| knightwise | Fact : Some dutch cities are further below the waterline then the maximum diving depth of the first submarines :) | 11:00 |
| MartijnVdS | And that's why we built a system of interlocking walls, to keep back the water ;) | 11:01 |
| MartijnVdS | also, we check them a lot | 11:01 |
| zmoylan-pi | a wall that keeps water out also keeps water in | 11:02 |
| zmoylan-pi | they're funny that way :-) | 11:03 |
| MartijnVdS | zmoylan-pi: don't put water in then ;) | 11:03 |
| awilkins | Why use a garden hose when a few pounds of strategically placed dynamite will do? | 11:03 |
| * zmoylan-pi shakes fist at clouds | 11:03 | |
| knightwise | Dutch people are not like pot noodles | 11:04 |
| knightwise | don't add water to make them tasty | 11:04 |
| zmoylan-pi | might make them testy | 11:05 |
| * knightwise thinks we should get off MartijnVdS 's case :) | 11:05 | |
| knightwise | zmoylan-pi: give me back my pink fluffy unicorn head ! | 11:06 |
| awilkins | knightwise, a quick check of Rule 34 proves you wrong as predicted | 11:06 |
| * zmoylan-pi hands back knightwise's fluffy unicorn head on the nice wooden plaque | 11:06 | |
| knightwise | awilkins: thanx for that :) | 11:06 |
| knightwise | zmoylan-pi: at least now I don't have to feed it anymore | 11:07 |
| zmoylan-pi | it must be hard to fund a store that stocks unicorn food | 11:08 |
| knightwise | Its even harder to find the rainbow-pooper-scoopers | 11:08 |
| zmoylan-pi | i'd have though unicorn poop sold on ebay for a bundle | 11:09 |
| knightwise | zmoylan-pi: my business plan .. right there ! | 11:09 |

| popey | hey, cpu people | 14:08 |
| popey | i know what socket my mobo has, is there a way to see what the "best" cpu I can put in it is? | 14:08 |
| MartijnVdS | popey: wikipedia has lists of CPUs by socket | 14:08 |
| MartijnVdS | popey: or if you're up for some parsing Dutch, tweakers.net/pricewatch -> go to the CPU ("processoren") category, then select the socket in the sidebar | 14:09 |
| MartijnVdS | that + Intel's ARK | 14:09 |
| popey | hmmm | 14:10 |
| popey | it has a sandybridge i7 2600 in it | 14:10 |
| popey | according to wikipedia I could go to ivy bridge | 14:10 |
| MartijnVdS | popey: check the mainboard manual as well, some never get the newer bios required for newer CPU support | 14:11 |
| popey | ah, true | 14:11 |
| MartijnVdS | i7-3770k is a good one.. I have its successor (4770k) and it's *FAST* | 14:12 |
| bigcalm | i7-4500U - don't suppose there's any point in trying to change a laptop's CPU? | 14:18 |
| davmor2 | popey: mobo instruction book? | 14:29 |
| popey | haha | 14:30 |
| popey | no idea where that is! | 14:30 |
| davmor2 | popey: pdf is on the mobo manufactures site | 14:30 |
| zmoylan-pi | get it online quicker | 14:30 |
| popey | yeah. dunno if it will mentioned CPUs made after the mobo tho :) | 14:30 |
| zmoylan-pi | just make sure you know what revision your bios is. just in case | 14:30 |
| davmor2 | popey: it has to tell you what it supports or you can put in the wrong chip :) | 14:31 |

| * SuperEngineer is overcome with jealousy | 19:50 | |
| popey | what didnt work for you? | 19:50 |
| SuperEngineer | ..and is now checking out that link. Thanks | 19:50 |
| daftykins | i've also used win98 boot files to make a bootable flash drive for DOS tools | 19:50 |
| SuperEngineer | I used Unetbootin.. it kept failing [on 3 machines] saying it wasn't there... even it was telling me it wasn't there | 19:51 |
| popey | you could fit a lot of old dos games on a 32gb usb stick | 19:51 |
| popey | oh no dont use that | 19:52 |
| popey | just dd it | 19:52 |
| popey | dd if=foo of=/dev/sdX | 19:52 |
| SuperEngineer | yeah... I definitely got the idea that it was not suitable for Unetbootin! | 19:52 |
| popey | could even fit windows 3.1 and loads of silly windows stuff on a stick | 19:52 |
| * popey ponders | 19:52 | |
| popey | could be fun | 19:52 |
| popey | could be fun to _install_ dos and windows on a laptop actually | 19:53 |
| popey | not done that for a while. | 19:53 |
| SuperEngineer | "FreeDOS prebuilt bootable USB flash drive image"... now why does that seem a more sensible option... lol | 19:53 |
| popey | hehe | 19:53 |
| davmor2 | popey: dos and windows 95 or 3.11 | 19:54 |
| SuperEngineer | will give it a go - again, thank you | 19:54 |
| popey | dual boot! | 19:54 |
| popey | windows 95 would get owned in seconds | 19:54 |

| SuperEngineer | :) | 20:32 |
| SuperEngineer | never thought typing "dir c:" & "dir a:" could make a person so happy | 20:36 |
| zmoylan-pi | there | 20:37 |
| zmoylan-pi | 's a dos web browser iirc | 20:37 |

| diddledan | as in arachnid, spider, web | 20:38 |
| zmoylan-pi | think so, i used it in 90s to get 286 on the web | 20:39 |
| zmoylan-pi | let me look... | 20:39 |
| zmoylan-pi | still going... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arachne_(web_browser) | 20:40 |
| SuperEngineer | ...hmmm just tried typing dir staights: :) | 20:43 |
| SuperEngineer | *straights | 20:43 |
| zmoylan-pi | took 15 minutes to render slashdot page, not bad on 14,400 modem and 286 with 640k ram | 20:44 |
| diddledan | zmoylan-pi: try again in a vm :-D | 20:46 |
| diddledan | zmoylan-pi: on an octocore 16GB RAMS uberbeast | 20:46 |
| zmoylan-pi | nah this was a proper 286 with b&w vga card. so even if you plugged in colour monitor you got b&w image :-) | 20:47 |
| diddledan | aye, load the same page on a monster and measure the difference :-p | 20:47 |
| SuperEngineer | Where do I file a FreeDOS bug: need to file a report "FreeDOS has just caused me to book next weekend for digging out my old DOS disks" ;) | 20:52 |
| popey | \o/ disk spindown working | 20:59 |
| popey | took 30s to ls a directory \o/ | 20:59 |
| SuperEngineer | time to go eat - thanks for the help folks [he says sneaking FreeDOS USB into pocket] ;) | 21:12 |
| zmoylan-pi | freedos on usb... just to annoy the nsa and their automatic tools :-) | 21:14 |
| shauno | bah. you know it's too cold to type when bash complains it can't find 'fimd' or 'greg' | 21:25 |
| diddledan | I hate greg | 21:25 |
| diddledan | he's an evil SOB | 21:25 |
| shauno | I have no heating and it's been quite chilly lately. of course, my response has been to stick an arduino in the kitchen to keep track of how cold :) | 21:28 |
| lopta | I just got into a conversation with one of the young chaps at work. Had to explain to him all about the Domesday Project. | 21:32 |
| zmoylan-pi | why do you have no heating? | 22:42 |
| diddledan | heating ftw | 22:51 |
| daftykins | ^ | 22:52 |
| daftykins | got down to between 4 and 6 deg C here, house dips to ~12 and becomes pretty nasty | 22:52 |
| daftykins | last night i took the wireless thermostat up to the bedroom so i could fire it up before getting out XD | 22:53 |
| daftykins | i can't use a program because i'm too inconsistent | 22:53 |
| diddledan | teehee | 22:53 |
| diddledan | I should put some socks on - naked feet causes heatloss | 22:54 |
| daftykins | indeed! | 22:54 |
| daftykins | ugh, another monday game night ruined due to Microsoft | 22:54 |
| diddledan | grr | 22:54 |
| daftykins | they can't keep their damned online services up for 5 minutes | 22:54 |
| diddledan | what did they do this time? | 22:54 |
| diddledan | aah | 22:54 |
| diddledan | their online services aren't | 22:55 |
| daftykins | basically i can play games but my friends list doesn't work, so i can't actually play them with my two pals | 22:55 |
| shauno | zmoylan-pi: because oil heating is normal here, and oil heating means that lazy people don't know they're running out until they run out | 22:57 |
| diddledan | \o/ | 22:57 |
| daftykins | =] | 22:57 |
| daftykins | good times | 22:57 |
| shauno | it was 5.2 degrees when I woke up. 5.2 *indoors* | 22:59 |
| diddledan | ouch | 22:59 |
| daftykins | O_O | 23:00 |
| daftykins | foreigheit or centius? :> | 23:00 |
| shauno | lol. degrees Censible, not degrees Freedom | 23:00 |
| daftykins | good lawd | 23:00 |
| daftykins | i thought my place had no insulation | 23:00 |
| shauno | well, it's better than last winter. I got my kitchen window fixed so it closes :) | 23:01 |
| diddledan | lol | 23:01 |
| daftykins | D: | 23:01 |
| diddledan | small steps | 23:01 |
| daftykins | you gotta go to work to warm up | 23:01 |
| shauno | I just shut myself in the living room with the fireplace | 23:02 |
| shauno | the rest of the house is a barren wasteland | 23:02 |
| zmoylan-pi | current external temp 1c here | 23:27 |
| zmoylan-pi | about 14c internally, usually have a clock with temp on it but it's grown legs at some point | 23:27 |
| * zmoylan-pi imagines shauno with a barrel with open fire in it in his room for some reason :-) | 23:36 | |
| diddledan | I'm not sure an underpass counts as "his room" | 23:40 |
| m0nkey_ | lol | 23:48 |
| zmoylan-pi | as long as he has proper fingerless gloves and bobble hat he'll be grand | 23:50 |
