[01:48] nice work virgin media ;) [01:49] stable as a cow in a shopping trolley as is tradition [02:34] well it's aprils fool day so you won't miss much for next 30 odd hours [02:35] oh dear, yes [02:40] daftykins, a massive hummingbird has just taken your hat and coat [05:41] morning everyon e === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte [07:26] Morning all [08:06] Morning all [08:08] popey: another much later catchy tune that isn't from the 80's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wSr7h_pjxs your welcome by theway [08:13] morning boys and girls. [08:24] Good morning peeps :) [08:24] morning [08:24] apparently dsample got the NVidia to work last night [08:24] so now I can play Cities on the laptop \o/ [08:24] Yay [08:24] I've enjoyed watching somebody play on YouTube [08:25] Not really my thing to play myself though [08:25] http://twitch.tv/cleavetv (occasionally NSFW) and http://twitch.tv/simcopter1 [08:25] those are what I watch [08:26] https://www.youtube.com/user/YogscastSips - pretty much everything is NSFW (language) [08:26] He plays a lot of things as well as Cities [08:26] Simcopter is even live now [08:26] he's a real life city planner, or was before becoming fulltime streamer [08:40] I got a strange error http://pastebin.com/jHZjUFnJ [08:41] any ideas? the if statment was coppied from a working similar file without any changes :/ [08:42] that looks wrong. shouldn't you haev $PATH? [08:43] actually just the correct path to the php files [08:43] so not $PATH [08:43] well its just a place holder so I dont paste the actual path online... [08:44] ah, you didn't mention that :D [08:44] morning [08:46] dogmatic69: have you run them by hand? [08:46] foobarry: ye, I just did an no errors [08:48] the error makes it seam like bash is trying to pipe the contents of the variable into the number [08:49] dunno, check for bad chars? i wouldn't implement that way, rather roll up into a single script that runs from crontab on the selected hours [08:49] well that would just mean much more to manage in the cron jobs instead of in the file [08:52] don't you need php -f ? [08:56] seems to be multiple issues you have but the line numbers don't match the errors [08:58] dogmatic69: i'd use something like "if [ $thishour -lt 5 ]; then" rather than (( [08:58] or probably separate scripts really [09:00] dutchie: separate scripts would be a massive pain, there is already a bunch of them... [09:09] Good morning all; happy Fun Day! :-D [09:11] What's all this about Microsoft taking a 25% stake in Canoncial? Is it part of their mobile-drisruption strategy? [09:11] * foobarry checks the date. [09:11] Dammit [09:11] Worth a shot though [09:20] application crashes when X displayed onto 2 computers (1 intel fedora, 1 nouveau xubuntu), and works on 2 elementary (nvidia, intel) [09:20] ho ho ho. minecraft was down this morning [09:21] any ideas? screen mem? common driver issue? library issue? [09:21] sam was most upset, none of the servers he wanted to connect to would work [09:21] found http://xpaw.ru/mcstatus/ and told him to refresh that page, he can play when it's all green [09:24] Ah, school holiday? [09:24] ya [09:24] DOS attack happened to PSN on xmas day once didn't it? [09:25] I'm working at czajkowski's today so he can play all he wants [09:25] nice day outside [09:25] And he's playing "Minecraft"? Yeesh! Why isn't he out cleaning the garden, paintint the fence or sweeping chimnies? Builds character! [09:26] i painted the garden gate when i was 5 [09:26] well, wifey has just organised for him to go to a mates house to play [09:26] foobarry: Lies. I got rained whilst walking the dog. [09:26] still remember doing it [09:27] I've been a good wife and I set up dejadup on dsample's new laptop. Also changed his icon theme which he complained about, installed Evernote thing and now thinking of installing Sublime, too. [09:27] I think the concept of "a day off" is lost in my house. I got to work for the break.... [09:27] going science museum next week [09:27] along with the rest of the planet i expect :S [09:29] Thanks for the reminder Myrtti [09:29] TwistedLucidity: backups? [09:29] * TwistedLucidity makes note to *finally* resolve the back-up strategy [09:30] I've got them, but none off-site and not automatic. [09:30] Sorting back-ups does not count as "work". Only digging, painting or cleaning counts as "work". Swearing over poorly written documentation is, apparently, "enjoyment" :-( [09:31] yeah we should sort out the offsite backups too [09:31] glacier? [09:32] I was going to put an HP MicroServer in a friend's house and back-up there (with me holding his back-ups). But then they stopped making the G3 and upped the price to £silly. [09:32] Guess a RasPi2 would more than suffice. [09:33] Although the current plan is a few external HDDs and sneakernet. [09:34] i should fix backups also [09:34] we've got both a ReadyNAS and an HP micro [09:34] currently laptop is backed up, but not desktop because i haven't figured out systemd timers yet [09:34] * dutchie uses http://tarsnap.com/ [09:35] No, no - *yesterday* was backup day. Today is *fun* day. :) [09:35] DejaDup, Backula (there's a few others) all seem to be doable. But I need to think how to back-up the VMs as well (maybe just use BTRFS snapshot or something). [09:35] AKA finding out your backups don't restore day. ;) [09:36] Anyone encrypt their back-ups? How do you do the key management? [09:37] http://pastie.org/private/jl3s65fdylnq3kjx40iqmg [09:37] TwistedLucidity: tarsnap! [09:37] it's the best [09:38] Ah...OK. I assume it does incrementals etc etc etc [09:38] I should get some coffee and brunch going on [09:38] see the paste [09:38] 100G is encrypted/compressed/deduplicated down to 1.2 [09:38] "--humanize". ROFL [09:39] Looks simple enough and seems to do the business. [09:39] Just the VMs remain. Back them up as a file...or back-up the data within them? [09:40] Data is easiest, but it means having some automagic way to rebuild the image again. [09:40] Configure fail2ban, certs yaddah, yaddah, yaddah [09:41] I know....I use "teh clowds". Yes. That'll make it all easy.

[11:44] that was so mar 31st :-) [11:44] lol [11:44] heh [11:44] iirc last year they had 8-bit maps [12:08] gmail is still google's best april fools' joke :| === alan_g is now known as alan_g|lunch [12:43] argh i missed the zinio 40% voucher code :( expired yesterday [12:43] 40% off all subs === alan_g|lunch is now known as alan_g [13:21] TwistedLucidity: what are you using to sync over the backups ? [13:21] bittorrent sync ? [13:21] USB cable [13:21] syncthing \o/ [13:22] knightwise: Currently using external HDDs....like I say, really need to get it sorted [13:22] im pushing in house backups to an external disk that is linked to bittorrent sync [13:22] As popey said syncthing \o/ [13:23] that gets synced over to a bittorrent sync drive on a remote machine at my inlaws [13:23] Syncing family / work and home all to my server at home now [13:23] popey: i tried the 15.04 beta with unity 8 , but it freezes when i try to login [13:24] i am trying it in a vm [13:30] it doesn't work in a vm [13:32] who carries on playing the lottery after they;'ve won a jackpot? [13:34] greedy bastards [13:34] they won £1m jackpot twice [13:36] http://www.zoopla.co.uk/for-sale/details/36425154 [13:36] someone who wants a bigger yacht? [13:50] If I won the lottery, you'd wouldn't see me for dust [13:51] 'course, I'd have to start actually playing the lottery..... [13:52] its possible to win it, but pretty much impossible for me to win [13:52] they won't let you play your lucky numbers 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, R? :-) [13:53] the chances of me winning are too small [13:53] to be considered as a chance [13:53] if i believed in those chances i wouldn't go out [13:53] or stay in. [13:53] too dangerous [13:54] i'm so unlucky i don't buy after 8 mints... :-D [13:54] pints? [13:55] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/After_Eight [14:01] mmm [14:02] they are always in my cupboar [14:02] d [14:31] 1/1.4*10^7 chance of winning the UK lottery, approx [14:31] You have more chance of being struck by lightning [14:32] i have almost been struck by lightening [14:35] you have more chance on a golf course.. [14:36] i was standing on top of a hill on outcrop overlooking sea. flash and bang were simultaneous [14:40] knightwise: run it from live cd if you want to play on it === JamesTai1 is now known as JamesTait [20:32] * diddledan levels-off some printer fluid (even ink) [20:33] evenink folks! [20:42] https://www.gentoo.org/ [20:43] visit even though it's not a distro you may not appreciate [20:43] it's a fun redesign of their site [21:09] lol, have you just woke up? [21:13] nah, been over the parental [21:16] well, I think minecraft won this one :) [21:17] I've not seen that one [21:18] https://mojang.com/2015/04/minecraft-snapshot-15w14a-the-love-and-hugs-update/ [21:19] not only because it's funny, but because the update in question is actually fully implemented, downloadable & playable [21:21] but the little touches, like jumping straight from 1.8 to 1.10 (now that they're owned by msft) made me smile [21:21] they need to keep their site like that [21:23] yikes. $1100 for my PC build. [21:24] that all? [21:24] pcpartpicker says i have GBP2K left to spend, 500 already spent [21:24] if only i had some money [21:25] anyone using a gtx960 with ubuntu?
