andrewlsdindeed, not often that you find something that can run happily/snappily on a P107:08
Kilosshould be lekker on a P3 or early P407:09
Kilosram is always the killer07:09
andrewlsdit's bonkers quick. almost instant. and the same goes for launching applications.07:09
Kilosi will have to try that sometime07:10
andrewlsdof course, there are not many applications that are written in assembly.07:10

mazalThis day started with a lot of speed07:12
inetprogood evening07:12
Kiloshi inetpro  07:13
inetprooops... it's Monday?07:13
Kiloslol07:13
andrewlsdKilos: yip, I have heard of it, but haven't ever gotten into minecraft (I don't understand the hype)07:13
andrewlsd^ that's true for most games. I'm not much of a gamer.07:13
Kilosminetest is free07:13
Kilosand graeme ran/runs a server for us but it eats data07:14
Kiloswe spent months building things07:14
andrewlsdKilos: why?07:15
andrewlsd... not being nasty, but I find that I am unable to spend days on anything.07:15
andrewlsdinstant**07:15
andrewlsdwhich is why I probably never get _into_ gaming07:16
andrewlsd... unless I have godmode cheats so that I can survive more than 2 minutes.07:16
Kilosandrewlsd  i dunno why it eats data, i spose being online07:16
andrewlsdI prefer to get to the end, and work my way back to the beginning.07:17
Kiloswb ThatGraemeGuy  07:17
mazalI like it , nice hobby to have. Just getting very expensive these days :(07:17
mazalGaming as a whole now I mean07:17
Kiloswe have all the enemies turned off so we could build in peace07:17
Kiloswe built mooi goed07:18
Kiloseven pro and fly and their families played07:18
andrewlsdmazal: I also think it's a cool hobby. I just don't have the patience and/or hand-eye co-ordination for it.07:20
mazalKilos: superfly and hsi son Zak is on our new server , they buikding a stunning treehouse07:20
andrewlsdmazal: and the budget.07:20
andrewlsd... I did try steam, now that I have this AlienWare laptop07:20
Kiloshaha07:20
mazalhis* building*07:21
andrewlsdMaaz: Kilos: does everyone build in the same place? or is each user's world separate?07:21
Maazandrewlsd: If you say so07:21
mazalAnd someday I will learn to type and speel , I promise07:21
mazalspell* lol07:21
andrewlsdlol07:21
Kilosits a world, so you buiild where you like07:21
* andrewlsd thinks "buikding" is a cool world07:22
andrewlsdword.07:22
mazalandrewlsd: We all build in the same world , that's what makes it fun. You build a world together and visit each other's places07:22
Kilosbut closer to others means not so far to go to get power07:22
Kiloswas great fun07:22
mazalStill is07:23
andrewlsdhow do I try it out?07:23

andrewlsdbut thank you to ThatGraemeGuy for the assistance.09:04
Kiloslol09:04
andrewlsdI think I need to trail Kilos for a couple of hours to watch how it is done.09:05
andrewlsdnow I understand why there are youtube channels and other similar online services that let you watch gamers.09:05
Kilosit is hard work, you gotta cut trees and dig stone before you build stuff, it is like being in the veldt with nothing and trying to survive09:06
Kilosbut once you have the basics it is kinda fun, we were hooked for months09:07
andrewlsdI get the logic of it, but don't know "how" to cut trees, etc. I can see the toolbox but don't know how to use the stuff09:07
andrewlsd... which is why I'd need to tag along behind someone to learn.09:07

Kiloshaha09:40
elacheche:D09:41
andrewlsdOT: I don't trust docker images.09:42
elachecheWhy is that?09:43
andrewlsd... is it just me or am I paranoid about importing other peoples binary stuff.09:44
mazalandrewlsd: Are you mciverza ?09:44
andrewlsdmazal: yes09:44

* mazal haven't had time to pop in there yet today :P09:45
=== MaNL is now known as MaNI
elachecheandrewlsd, They are created based on docker files.. Ubuntu as an example → https://github.com/tianon/docker-brew-ubuntu-core/blob/43f0305b40bfe5f02cc007027be875256ab2b563/trusty/Dockerfile09:45
andrewlsdelacheche: yip, it's just that it is possible to slip stuff in if people don't pay attention to the docker file.09:46
andrewlsdyou can 'curl' stuff in from other places in the dockerfile (build instructions)09:46
andrewlsdand yet it is so easy to do "docker pull some/random-cool-app"09:47
elachecheandrewlsd, if you hit docker search (something) you'll find informations about NAME, DESCRIPTION, STARS, OFFICIAL, AUTOMATED(using dockerfiles)09:47
andrewlsdwithout first checking what the docker file will do.09:47
andrewlsdyeah. I try to use "official" builds09:47
elachecheFor my self I use the Ubuntu official build, then I install whatever I want by myself..09:47
andrewlsdI just always feel a little uneasy until I've gone and actually checked the dockerfile itself.09:48
andrewlsdthis came up because I was looking for a Quassel docker image.09:48
andrewlsd(and there are many)09:48
andrewlsdat the moment, I prefer normal 'LXC' containers.09:48
elachecheI tried to create my own ubuntu container from scratch, I find that it's not a good idea, as docker maintain their images and I don't :D09:48
andrewlsd"lxc-create -t download -n debian"09:49
elachecheI see09:49
andrewlsdthat's the kind of thing I do, so it tries to fetch the latest trusted platform09:49
andrewlsdand persistent storage is the default in LXC containers. vs non-persistent storage as the default in docker app containers.09:50
andrewlsdso for me it's "horses for courses" some things application containers are awesome for, and for other things, I prefer fuller containers.09:51
* elacheche thinks that you're lucky because you used LXC before the creation of docker.. 09:51
andrewlsdI'm an ops guy, not a dev guy. So that probably plays a role09:51
elachecheo/ Ops here too :D09:51
andrewlsdI used it only a tiny bit before docker. I normally just use virsh.09:51
andrewlsdvirsh + kvm09:51
andrewlsdso at the moment I have a small VM running in KVM, which runs LXC.09:52
andrewlsdone of the containers it runs is a dnsmasq container to offer DHCP to the rest of my VMs or containers on a bridged interface.09:52
andrewlsdbecause I don't like to automatically start things.09:52
andrewlsdI like to be in control09:52
elachecheI find problems understanding the logics behind lxc & docker because I always compare them to kvm :/ And I lost 1 year of docker because I couldn't use it before findingout how to create my own image from scratch x)09:53
andrewlsdso I killall dnsmasq instances, and then manually launch one to offer DNS and DHCP (with automatic DNS entries) for my VMs.09:53
andrewlsdelacheche: OpenShift 3 is a PaaS based on IIRC docker.09:54
elachecheYep.. Then they created they're own docker like thing.. And have no idea if they already migrated to it or not09:55
elachecheAh! No.. It's not a docker like, it's a project to manager docker → http://www.projectatomic.io/09:56
andrewlsdyeah.10:00
andrewlsdand Kubernetes, and Compose and a bunch of other tools10:00

stickyboyYeah, they're the things that connect two letters in old-style serifs.11:24
mciverzaMopKop: are you doing an MA?11:39
mciverza(I only had to do 4 years for my studies)11:40
Mopkopmciverza: Sort of. I'm doing a MTh. MA is an academic degree, MTh is professional.11:40
mciverzaYes, like BA vs BTh.11:40
MopkopYes, I'm also doing 4 years for my normal BTh degree, but you can't become a minister in my Church with only BTh :(11:41
mciverzaI did a BA, coz BTh was being deprecated at the time at Stellenbosch et all.11:41
mciverzalol.11:41
Mopkopmciverza: Oh, you studied theology?11:41
mciverzaI'd be more concerned with "has experienced real life"11:41
mciverzaBUT ... am not knocking studies.11:42
mciverzaMopkop: yes.11:42
mciverzaat one stage, most of the charismatic churches ministers had zero formal theological training.11:42
mciverzaagain, not knocking either the churches or the training, just noticing how things change.11:43
MopkopYes, I have noticed the Charismatic churches are more and more focussing on studies. I'm studying at Unisa and most of my fellow students are Charismatic.11:44
mciverzaIt's good to have a mixture of backgrounds when studying. helps to broaden the horizons, and allows possibility of creating good relationships with people outside your normal theological circle.11:45
mciverza... </imho>11:45
mciverzaOT: am loving being able to see what my kids are watching on TV via my mobile phone.11:46
Kiloshehe11:46
mciverza... using Kodi/XMBC, and the remote is two-way, so I can control the TV and see what is on.11:46
MopkopExactly my sentiment! In the past 3½ years I have come into contact with so many different views and value systems. Broad horizons help us not to think in terms of black and white.11:48
mciverzaand it's much harder to disregard someone's view if you have actually gotten to know them and realize that they are reasonable, reliable people.11:50
