[06:24] <mapps> yay not as humid today thankfully;)
[06:40] <zmoylan-pi> if yesterday was any damper ireland would have lost it's island status... :-P
[07:10] <MooDoo> howdy
[07:20] <zmoylan-pi> o/
[07:25] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[08:14] <knightwise> mornin peeps
[08:15] <MooDoo> morning knightwise
[08:16] <brobostigon> morning knightwise and MooDoo
[08:16] <MooDoo> how are you all this morning?
[08:16] <brobostigon> not bad, and you?
[08:20] <knightwise> ²doin ok :) been looking around some second hand sites for an old thinkpad
[08:20] <MooDoo> yeah ok, thinking about purchasing a book on python that I can work through with my lad but it says 10+ so as he's 6 not sure if he'll be bothered
[08:20] <knightwise> popey: which one were you using again on the podcast ? R61 ?
[08:20] <foobarry> came in today and my fan is running at full. although its cold air. and the cpu is < 10% used :-|
[08:22] <knightwise> thats odd
[08:23] <zmoylan-pi> sensor kyboshed?
[08:25] <foobarry> gonna log out
[08:25] <foobarry> :(
[08:27] <popey> knightwise: eh?
[08:28] <ne2k> popey, HP 455 G2 wireless (rtl8723be). I removed the utopic LTS HWE stack and went back to kernel 3.13, and was able to install the rtlwifi dkms package from the precise-oem-sp2 repo and it seems to be working
[08:28] <popey> knightwise: oh, I have a thinkpad x220 and x61s
[08:28] <popey> the x61s is the cheap one I got off ebay
[08:29] <ne2k> right, I must sign off IRC and do some work
[08:29] <ne2k> workspaces can be a killer
[08:34] <knightwise> k :) How is the resolution on the x220 ?
[08:34] <popey> 1366x768
[08:34] <popey> terrible by todays standards
[08:35] <popey> well, minimum by todays standards to be fair
[08:35] <knightwise> k
[08:35] <knightwise> thanx :) The X61 looks cool to play with
[08:36] <popey> X61s is mine. dunno what the difference between the X61 and the X61s is
[08:37] <foobarry> lighter and different processor
[08:38] <foobarry> lower energy one
[08:46] <popey> ah
[08:47] <popey> are the "s" models all like that?
[08:48] <foobarry> S are "entry level ultraportables"
[08:49] <foobarry> ah forget that
[08:49] <foobarry> thats if S is prefix
[08:49] <foobarry> Normally, the distinguishing features between the X-series and X-series s-suffix models are:
[08:49] <foobarry> Use of lower voltage CPUs, providing better battery life
[08:49] <foobarry> Option for a high-resolution screen
[08:49] <foobarry> Lighter weight by cutting down on thickness and using lighter materials
[08:49] <foobarry> Much higher price
[08:50] <foobarry> processors are a bit slower
[08:52] <zmoylan-pi> so an ultrabook by another name...
[08:52] <popey> this is far from an ultrabook
[08:53] <popey> but it pre-dates the ultrabook brand and is somewhat chunky
[08:53] <popey> (being a thinkpad)
[08:53] <zmoylan-pi> so an ibm ultrabook :-)
[08:53] <zmoylan-pi> without the ibm...
[08:55] <directhex> ulu-tara-book!
[08:55] <directhex> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7Acv0l7AO0
[08:57] <zmoylan-pi> a 1 hour advert... wow...
[08:58] <directhex> it's a 1 hour loop, because it's so awesome
[09:01] <popey> it's so something
[09:02] <zmoylan-pi> well.... compared to japanese gameshows it's perfectly normal... :-)
[09:06] <popey> exobuzz: happy birthday
[09:07] <Laney> danny dyer's chocolate homunculus
[09:08] <JamesTait> Good morning all; happy Leave the Office Earlier Day! 😃
[09:09]  * zmoylan-pi disposes of tunnel soil on ciggie break and prepares for escape...
[09:10] <TheGeek> minea aint till Friday :(
[09:10] <popey> alan@bishop:~$ grep JamesTait irclogs/freenode/#ubuntu-uk.log | grep orning | grep appy | pastebinit
[09:10] <popey> http://paste.ubuntu.com/11516587/
[09:10] <popey> note the day JamesTait discovered unicode :)
[09:11]  * zmoylan-pi used to be proud when i could get network drivers, share.exe connected to novell network run our accounts software and still get £ on keyboard... :-)
[09:12] <zmoylan-pi> WITH a mouse!!
[09:12] <dutchie> popey: haha
[09:12] <Laney> you can also track his start of work time
[09:13] <JamesTait> popey, rather, the day Spads shared his irssi auto-replace config. 😉
[09:13] <popey> hah
[09:13] <popey> oddly i dont see your smiley in my terminal
[09:13] <MooDoo> me neither, it's a square box for me
[09:14] <popey> monospace font fail
[09:14] <popey> but I do see the smiley in android
[09:16] <JamesTait> I see a rectangle for this one: 🙌
[09:16] <JamesTait> With 01F64C in it.
[09:18] <zmoylan-pi> rectangle here but smiley for original unicode char
[09:21] <JamesTait> Ooh, one of those greetings was at 09:04 - on a Friday!
[10:07] <NET||abuse> wow, ok, that's weird... pulled down an arch iso, dd'ing it onto a usb stick... i do sudo dd bs=4M if=/home/me/Downloads/isos/archlinux-2015.05.01-dual.iso of=/dev/sdb
[10:07] <NET||abuse> i get 56408576 bytes (656 MB) copied, 0.349391 s, 1.9 GB/s
[10:07] <NET||abuse> and it finishes immediately.
[10:07] <NET||abuse> the activity light on the usb stick is flashing away ongoing now though
[10:07] <zmoylan-pi> cache?
[10:08] <NET||abuse> is there some amount of time i have to wait? Can i see cache progress somehow?
[10:08] <NET||abuse> that's pretty crazy :)
[10:10] <intrbiz> writing direct to a device (ie /dev/sdb) would bypass the page cache
[10:11] <intrbiz> it's odd for dd to return before the data has written, did you get the device name correct?
[10:28] <popey> nah, it does this all the time here
[10:58] <TwistedLucidity> So...a "fully convergent" phone is on the way. I may well suffer Android just a bit longer in that case....
[11:00] <bashrc_> android is ok, it's just not the full gnu/linux
[11:02] <zmoylan-pi> it's linux lite, nsa plus :-)
[11:09] <popey> Sardines on toast O'clock.
[11:15] <exobuzz> popey, thanks!
[12:07] <TwistedLucidity> bashrc_: Not sure is it's the phone, Android 4.1 or the OEM's "added value", but I can't say I have a lot of love for it.
[12:22] <Laney> come on delivery
[12:22] <Laney> need to go out
[12:33] <popey> I too have a delivery due!
[12:34] <MooDoo> you know how it works, they'll either not turn up or deliver at 6pm, unless it's DPD in which case they are ace
[12:34] <popey> sadly not dpd
[13:27] <Laney> here it is
[13:27] <Laney> :>
[13:28] <directhex> gin delivery!
[13:29] <MooDoo> no it's the new hdd for the windows 10 installation he's had to reserve :p
[13:31] <mapps> sun cream bath time
[13:31] <mapps> so hot
[13:31] <mapps> ;]
[13:31] <mapps> got burnt yesterday :(
[13:48] <ujjain> talking about sun cream
[13:48] <ujjain> http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nivea-Sun-Invisible-Protect-Spray/dp/B002PD6PLI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1433251539&sr=8-2&keywords=nivea+sun
[13:48] <ujjain> http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nivea-Immediate-Protection-Moisturising-Spray/dp/B001B0OJXM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1433175118&sr=8-1&keywords=sunscreen
[13:48] <ujjain> which one should I get
[13:49] <popey> are you transparent?
[13:49] <popey> 50 is quite high
[13:49] <foobarry> i use 6
[13:49] <foobarry> my wife and kids use 15
[13:50] <ujjain> I want 10 or 15 actually
[13:50] <popey> our kids used 25 or so when they were babies, now we use 10-15
[13:50] <foobarry> spray is good for kids vs thick yoghurty cream
[13:50] <popey> ya
[13:50] <ujjain> Yeah, I'm half-Dutch/Turkish, so I don't burn that easily.
[13:51] <ujjain> I'm going with my friends (alone) to Mallorca this Friday for 4 days.
[13:51] <foobarry> i'm fully english
[13:51] <foobarry> but not pasty northerner type
[13:51] <ujjain> so was thinking, maybe would be a good idea to buy sun screen, but I'm not good at making decisions
[13:51] <ujjain> what is your accent?
[13:52] <ujjain> btw, it's not sun cream time, weather in London is crap
[13:52] <foobarry> north london but not a really strong accent
[13:52] <ujjain> ah ok
[13:52] <foobarry> although i use a lot of regional slang
[13:52] <ujjain> do you use init?
[13:53] <foobarry> i am aware that fully english means french/germanic/anglo/other
[13:53] <foobarry> only when being ironic. my accent isn't very chavvy
[13:53] <ujjain> or systemd?
[13:53] <foobarry> lol
[13:53] <ujjain> ah yeah, neutral accent is better
[13:53] <foobarry> ugh 3pm meeting in another building
[13:53] <foobarry> need chocolate or jelly snakes to survive
[13:54] <ujjain> well, have fun :) hopefully meeting will be worth your while
[13:54] <foobarry> it won't , i'm covering my boss with no info about the meeting
[13:57] <ujjain> ah, I'm happy I don't have many meetings.
[14:17] <Myrtti> I use 50
[14:17] <Myrtti> but I'm Finnish and have gotten sunburnt enough many times in my life
[14:19] <Myrtti> and I also take vitamin supplements.
[15:20] <ujjain> ah ok
[15:49] <foobarry> in the space of 5 minutes, antisocial colleague sprayed deep heat in the office then now eating curry outside lunch hours
[16:21] <ujjain> I eat stuff outside of lunch hours.
[16:21] <ujjain> although not smelly stuff.
[16:21] <ujjain> I can't judge about deep heat, but it seems could be all smelly there
[16:22] <ujjain> I bought a tanning sun tan, I'll probably look African when I'm back from Mallorca.
[16:43] <Laney> mmm deep heat
[16:43] <Laney> I'd be thanking him
[16:58] <popey> haha
[16:58] <popey> blatter quit
[17:07] <shauno> I think he pretty much had to once uefa started looking seriously at boycotting 2018
[17:25] <awilkins> Wow : Thunderbolt 3 == USB-C
[17:25] <awilkins>  Finally, One Port To Rule Them All
[17:25] <awilkins>  40Gbit/s Thunderbolt. 10Gbit/s USB 3.1, Displayport, and PCI-express
[17:25] <awilkins>  Oh, and 100W
[17:29] <Myrtti> oh my lord that is news
[17:31] <popey> https://twitter.com/WeWantPlates is now my fave twitter account
[17:31] <awilkins> Now all we need is a USB-C +----<mag|safe>----+   dongle for your charger and it's perfect
[17:31] <Myrtti> dsample "I bet Apple finds a way to make their incompatible"
[17:39]  * awilkins imagines the Seance with Steve at Apple HQ
[17:40] <awilkins> "So, how about we reverse the pinout?"   ... "Sorry, it's a reversible connector"
[17:40] <awilkins> "We could embed DRM chips in the cable!"  ... "Yeah, but people are wise to that now and they hate it"
[17:42] <awilkins> "I know! We'll make sure that we have a special signalling protocol that prevents the port transmitting more than 500mA unless you know the secret code!"
[17:42] <awilkins> *much clinking of champagne glasses ensues*
[17:45] <shauno> they don't need to make it incompatible.  no-one else will pay for the controllers (or ship drivers) anyway.
[17:47] <directhex> i have usb 3.1, sadly with type a connectors
[17:53] <shauno> I'm still waiting for either linux or freebsd to pick up ip-over-tb for a fun nas box.  long wait.
[17:56] <directhex> pfft
[17:56] <directhex> use IB!
[17:58] <shauno> with my laptop?
[17:59] <directhex> yes! :D
[18:41] <foobarry> any recommendations for web hosting providers?
