| davmor2 | JamesTait: It'sa Me.....It'sa Mario!!!!! | 11:12 |
| JamesTait | davmor2, that was yesterday. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/mario-day/ | 11:13 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: But Mario is the worlds most famous plumber :P | 11:14 |
| zmoylan-pi | nah, al gore, he invented the internet which is a series of tubes | 11:15 |
| JamesTait | Not Linus Torvalds? http://linuxplumbersconf.org/2015/ | 11:16 |
| JamesTait | It's a sign of how geeky I am that the word "plumbers" means that, rather than someone who installs and fixes things like water pipes. | 11:18 |
| JamesTait | I should probably get out more. | 11:18 |
| bashrc_ | maintaining is probably not unlike plumbing | 11:20 |
| bashrc_ | fixing leaks... | 11:21 |
| Myrtti | a smart person would've checked the wind speed before laying out the laundry on an outdoor clothes line | 11:38 |
| zmoylan-pi | the rain told me today was not a good day to dry /klingon | 11:39 |
| Myrtti | clear blue skies here | 11:52 |
| foobarry | here too | 11:53 |
| foobarry | well, brick walls and a little patch of sky at the top from where i'm sitting | 11:54 |
| diplo | Had blue skies all morning but the temperature has plummeted now and gone all grey :( | 12:02 |
| MooDoo | grey and overcast here | 12:03 |
| zmoylan-pi | rain all night with gusts of wind, very wintery. | 12:03 |
| davmor2 | popey: mvm hard is definitely more like Extreme MDK mode :D | 12:29 |
| popey | davmor2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m56Tfyy9fWI - mvm music in that video | 12:40 |
| davmor2 | popey: uu level 72 start to get cramped too, that video is hilarious and the music is definitely mvm | 12:45 |

| ujjain | is indoor shooting something you can do with friends in the UK? | 13:45 |

| zmoylan-pi | i believe the house of westminster has a rifle range... | 13:48 |
| === alan_g|lunch is now known as alan_g | ||
| davmor2 | ujjain: Wolverhampton has an Olympic grade indoor shooting range | 14:00 |
| ujjain | ah nice | 14:00 |
| ujjain | house of westminster? :o | 14:00 |
| ujjain | that could be cool, although a bit far, let me do some googling | 14:00 |
| davmor2 | ujjain: there are plenty across the country I just know the one at wolverhampton | 14:02 |
| ujjain | ah yeah, but by public transport might be tricky | 14:02 |
| davmor2 | ujjain: no the riffles and stuff would be at the club rather than at home | 14:07 |
| popey | ujjain: bisley has a lot of ranges | 14:09 |
| popey | easy to get to from london | 14:09 |
| ujjain | ahah thanks | 14:10 |
| ujjain | I have signed up 2 times for a bank account and 2 times the bank made a misatke and opened a wrong bank account and immediately closed it, it shows up as lending facility requested 2 times. Does this hurt my credit score? | 15:18 |
| marshmn | hi; I understand that a number of SSDs have built-in hardware encryption functionality - are such things supported by Ubuntu/Linux? I'm not having much luck finding out info on it | 16:01 |

| mapp | does anyone have a smart watch? | 19:23 |
| shauno | not yet. they don't have a pre-order date for Ireland yet :( | 19:37 |
| daftykins | best error today | 19:40 |
| daftykins | XFS: file system too large to be mounted on this system. | 19:40 |
| daftykins | :D | 19:40 |
| daftykins | turns out a 32-bit host can't mount >16TB volumes | 19:40 |
| shauno | oops | 19:40 |
| daftykins | nah it's fine, his file server has 10.04.4 still on it, so i need to reinstall anyway :) | 19:41 |
| shauno | you still have 32bit hosts? it's a Pi ? | 19:41 |
| daftykins | 2GB RAM pentium dual core file server | 19:41 |
| daftykins | dedi headless | 19:41 |
| shauno | ooh | 19:41 |
| shauno | I miss the p4 era | 19:41 |
| shauno | especially when my heating's bust | 19:41 |
| daftykins | nah this was LGA775, so it's an E2180 i think | 19:42 |
| daftykins | http://ark.intel.com/products/31733/Intel-Pentium-Processor-E2180-1M-Cache-2_00-GHz-800-MHz-FSB | 19:42 |
| shauno | actually, I still have a dual-quad-xeon around here somewhere | 19:42 |
| daftykins | :D | 19:42 |
| shauno | I might have to hook up that arduino thermometer thing and see if it actually can raise the room temp | 19:42 |
| daftykins | i've booted a live session of 14.04 and am rsync'ing the old array to the new, now | 19:42 |
| daftykins | with --progress \o/ | 19:42 |
| daftykins | i'm updating a tomtom for someone right now 0o | 19:44 |
| daftykins | he went to Malaga and had no roads to escape the airport apparently :D | 19:45 |
| shauno | not a bug, it's a feature - they do this to the GB models intentionally ;) | 19:45 |
| daftykins | hehe | 19:45 |
| daftykins | just doing a 1.4GB map update 0o | 19:46 |
| m0nkey_ | lol, this article has convinced me to drop OSX in favor of Ubuntu or Fedora.. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=macbook_yosemite_4way&num=1 :) | 21:11 |
| foobarry | why not opensuse | 21:15 |
| foobarry | seems a clear winner | 21:15 |
| m0nkey_ | that means downloading another iso :-P | 21:16 |
| diddledan | just got my birthday prezzie together - a nice new shiny chair | 21:26 |
| mapp | nice | 21:26 |
| mapp | :D | 21:26 |
| diddledan | it's 1) comfy, 2) silent when I wheel it about | 21:26 |
| mapp | a good chairs a wise investment | 21:26 |
| diddledan | my old one had got squeeky | 21:26 |
| diddledan | indeed | 21:26 |
| mapp | the arms fell off my chair | 21:26 |
| diddledan | oops | 21:26 |
| mapp | cheap rubbish though from argos | 21:27 |
| diddledan | aah | 21:27 |
| mapp | so shouldnt be surprised:) | 21:27 |
| mapp | literally they snapped lol | 21:27 |
| diddledan | this one's an £80ish | 21:27 |
| mapp | ok i was leaning on it..but still | 21:27 |
| diddledan | lol | 21:27 |
| mapp | cool first dates is back | 21:46 |
| mapp | quite like that show | 21:46 |
| shauno | I've just started with 'black sails'. desperately running out of TV | 21:54 |
| === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte | ||
| mapp | heard its good | 22:43 |
| mapp | on season 1 shauno? | 22:43 |
| daftykins | i made a hilarious blunder today | 22:43 |
| mapp | gah i cant find my pension application form | 22:43 |
| mapp | bought it home to read and fill out and now..no idea where i put it | 22:44 |
| daftykins | i changed my xbox live account to be based in Guernsey... fired up the old xbox360, "sorry there is no xbox live in your region" | 22:44 |
| mapp | lol | 22:44 |
| daftykins | thanks Microsoft | 22:44 |
| daftykins | do any of you guys understand this weird loophole about online transactions for digital content being allowed to charge VAT from the originating country of the service? | 22:45 |
| daftykins | presumably xbox live is based in Ireland so they can charge people VAT from there on their downloads | 22:45 |
| ali1234 | what's to understand? | 22:45 |
| daftykins | why it's allowed :) | 22:45 |
| ali1234 | it isn't | 22:45 |
| ali1234 | since 1st of jan they changed the rules | 22:46 |
| daftykins | oh is this the funny named thing that's causing business in Ireland to get the squeeze? | 22:46 |
| ali1234 | yes | 22:46 |
| daftykins | hrmmm | 22:46 |
| ali1234 | now you have to pay VAT in the country where the service is used | 22:46 |
| ali1234 | which means you have to deal with VAT laws from 30 odd different countries | 22:46 |
| ali1234 | and the threshold where you have to register for VAT is no longer 80k, it's now 0 | 22:47 |
| ali1234 | because some countries don't have any threshold | 22:47 |
| daftykins | which is no doubt why they refuse to offer the service to Guernsey residents | 22:47 |
| ali1234 | meanwhile the multinational companies this law was supposed to target just moved their business out of the EU entirely and then carry on as before | 22:48 |
| shauno | beacuse there's only 3 of you. It'd cost them more in time than they'd gain from sales :) | 22:48 |
| daftykins | "we'd have to deal with VAT refunds then!" | 22:48 |
| daftykins | shauno: :D there is that, true | 22:48 |
| mapp | does it affect us as consumers? | 22:49 |
| mapp | we'd be paying VAT anyway? | 22:49 |
| daftykins | now you probably get to pay the UK rate instead of the Irish rate, i dunno which it picks | 22:50 |
| shauno | I'm not sure why it'd squeeze ireland much, VAT is 20% here. it's corporate tax that's easy | 22:50 |
| daftykins | Irish VAT is 20% as well? | 22:50 |
| shauno | 23 apparently | 22:51 |
| intrbiz | IIRC there is an exception for tailored content, which is modified for each purchase | 22:51 |
| shauno | but only 4.8% on cattle apparently. you're not buying cows on xbox are you? | 22:52 |
| daftykins | shauno: maybe... my Guernsey Golds need some friends | 22:53 |
| daftykins | Cow Simulator for xbox | 22:53 |
| shauno | hm. there's a man in a van down the road, who stores random animals in abandoned lots. I might be able to hook you up :) | 22:53 |
| shauno | I have no idea what he's doing this week. they look like really hairy baby horses | 22:54 |
| daftykins | there is one amusing thing, i buy xbox credit from amazon.co.uk VAT free to add to my account... so technically i get more money than i pay for :D | 22:54 |
| daftykins | here we are, £10 of xbox credit from amazon - £8.33 :D | 22:57 |
| shauno | and you wonder why it might be easier to just say no :) | 22:58 |
| mapp | so it makes no diff to me pay samwe tax really? | 22:58 |
| mapp | nice daftykins | 22:58 |
| daftykins | shauno: hmm? no to...? | 22:59 |
| shauno | for xbox to just say no to .ge | 22:59 |
| shauno | instead of having money going backwards | 22:59 |
| daftykins | y'mean .gg? :> | 22:59 |
| daftykins | (that's our TLD) | 23:00 |
| shauno | -_- | 23:00 |
| daftykins | funny thing is my mates just have their bank cards on their accounts so it comes direct | 23:00 |
| daftykins | i only discovered this loophole recently, i used to buy credit on ebay | 23:00 |
| shauno | random, I found out recently that Kosovo doesn't have a two-letter iso thingie | 23:01 |
| mapp | hate losing stuff such a windup :( really | 23:01 |
| mapp | what do they have shauno | 23:01 |
| shauno | that's it. they just .. don't | 23:01 |
| shauno | they use .xk I think, because .x* are reserved for nothing | 23:01 |
| mapp | hm | 23:01 |
| mapp | oh | 23:01 |
| shauno | but it's not 'theirs' | 23:01 |
| shauno | it seems whoever assigns these is so glacial they make the civil service look good | 23:03 |
| mapp | strange eh | 23:03 |
| mapp | .gi for gib | 23:03 |
| mapp | altho think my hostname is .com | 23:04 |
| mapp | gibconnect.com | 23:04 |
| shauno | that's kinda normal it seems. it seems in most cases, the smaller the registry, the more they try to milk it | 23:04 |
| daftykins | ^ i have to renew my .gg soon, £45 a year =| | 23:05 |
| daftykins | £90 to register + first 12 months | 23:05 |
| daftykins | i've been thinking about talking to a local politician to ask why local business isn't allowed to show off their proud locality, due to being screwed for the rates ;) | 23:05 |
| intrbiz | shauno: IIRC Kosovo currently has the temporary code XK until it is reconised by the UN at which point ISO can issue it an official code | 23:06 |
| shauno | huh, I didn't realise they weren't recognised yet. just that they hadn't been given an official designation | 23:09 |
| intrbiz | shauno: Kosovo is currently not a member of the UN as 85 countries do not still recognise it | 23:15 |
| diddledan | including russia? | 23:18 |
| intrbiz | diddledan: yes | 23:19 |
| diddledan | who'd have thunk it | 23:20 |
| intrbiz | indeed | 23:20 |
| diddledan | to be fair to russia, they just want to recreate the ussr | 23:21 |
| intrbiz | diddledan: I think they'd like to keep control of the imporant bits of it | 23:22 |
| intrbiz | it always amuses me the people who think the UK's country code is UK rather than GB | 23:23 |
| diddledan | so who's got UK? :-p | 23:23 |
| intrbiz | no one | 23:23 |
| diddledan | ukraine? | 23:23 |
| intrbiz | Ukraine is UA | 23:23 |
| diddledan | obviously | 23:23 |
| intrbiz | UK is reserve on our request | 23:23 |
| diddledan | UA surely fits UAE better, no? | 23:24 |
| intrbiz | the codes are derived from the elements of a country name which are not generic | 23:24 |
| diddledan | i.e. dubai | 23:24 |
| intrbiz | diddledan: nope | 23:24 |
| diddledan | aren't letters kinda generic tho | 23:24 |
| intrbiz | the terms: United, Kingdom, etc are not used to derive the code | 23:24 |
| diddledan | I mean A is surely in a lot of country names | 23:25 |
| intrbiz | diddledan: UAE is just AE | 23:25 |
| diddledan | I like how we're the only country I'm aware of that needs to tell other people that they're impressive, important etc. | 23:26 |
| diddledan | we're not just Britain, we're GREAT | 23:26 |
| diddledan | oh yeah, and northern ireland | 23:26 |
| diddledan | we ignore them tho and hope they'll be quiet for once | 23:26 |
| intrbiz | diddledan: United Kingdom of Great Britian and Northen Ireland | 23:26 |
| diddledan | I propose replacing Great with Amazing | 23:27 |
| intrbiz | diddledan: Awesome ? | 23:27 |
| daftykins | horribly US word :P | 23:27 |
| diddledan | Most Excellent? | 23:27 |
| intrbiz | Honourable | 23:28 |
| diddledan | that's a joke, right? | 23:28 |
| diddledan | *cough* GCHQ *cough& | 23:28 |
| diddledan | "Ah did not have sexual relations with that internet" | 23:29 |
| shauno | it's not amazing. it's "big". big britain, little britain. grand britain, britany | 23:29 |
| diddledan | obviously by "sexual relations" we refer to the dictionary for the words "Rape" and "Pillage" | 23:30 |
| diddledan | shauno: kinda like the midget insists he's tall for his age? | 23:30 |
| intrbiz | We could simplify to: Great British Empire | 23:31 |
| diddledan | what empire? | 23:31 |
| diddledan | we gave it all back | 23:31 |
| diddledan | and ever since they've all been killing each other | 23:32 |
| intrbiz | we can invade again | 23:33 |
| diddledan | good idea. how are you fixed for tuesday? | 23:33 |
| diddledan | I can pencil-in an invasion for the weekend if time is of the essence? | 23:33 |
| diddledan | the question, though, do we let them know we're about to conquer them or let them find out when they wake up? | 23:34 |
| intrbiz | they'll find out when we erect the flag | 23:35 |
| diddledan | like america did when they conquered iraq? | 23:35 |
| diddledan | "mission accomplished" | 23:35 |
| diddledan | I say lets have a bipartisan empire with the americans - we get the middle bit and america gets the two sides | 23:37 |
| diddledan | obviously on american maps that's back asswards | 23:37 |
| diddledan | jeez, chrisccoulson died? | 23:38 |
| diddledan | [23:38:00] chrisccoulson (~chr1s@ubuntu/member/chrisccoulson) left IRC (Quit: OSError: [Errno 130] Owner died) | 23:38 |
| intrbiz | never knew IRC was so deadly | 23:38 |
| intrbiz | must have been some kind of virus | 23:39 |
| diddledan | maybe. or skynet | 23:39 |
| intrbiz | or the sky falling down | 23:40 |
| diddledan | I'd be crushed if that happened to me | 23:40 |
| daftykins | IRC is already a life sucker, but to kill? :( | 23:42 |
| daftykins | i replaced the boss' Lenovo X240 Intel 180GB SSD with a 512GB Crucial MX100 today \o/ | 23:42 |
| daftykins | he's letting me keep the old one D: | 23:42 |
| intrbiz | daftykins: nice | 23:43 |
| diddledan | http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/31843001 <-- does that mean you're allowed to post porn that does have their consent? | 23:43 |
| daftykins | i may put it in the old girl's new laptop | 23:44 |
| intrbiz | diddledan: I believe pornograghic pictures are permitted under the T&Cs | 23:46 |
| diddledan | really? | 23:46 |
| intrbiz | assuming they are legal | 23:46 |
| diddledan | hmm, I'll keep an eye out then | 23:46 |
| daftykins | brb host restart coming up | 23:46 |
| diddledan | daftykins: your local system or a proxyish thing/ | 23:47 |
| daftykins | hilariously i IRC from a Linux VM atop a Windows host :D | 23:47 |
| daftykins | so patch tuesday it is | 23:47 |
| diddledan | that was yesterday! | 23:47 |
| daftykins | yeah i delayed :P | 23:47 |
| diddledan | teehee | 23:47 |
| daftykins | also we only get it at 6pm of course since that's early Seattle time :> | 23:47 |
| diddledan | yeah it means that wednesday in most businesses must be rather fraught with panic | 23:48 |
| intrbiz | diddledan: @porn | 23:48 |
