[07:13] <diplo> Morning all
[07:32] <MooDoo> hello all
[07:47] <TwistedLucidity> Hello and welcome to "avoid Reddit" day
[07:49] <SuperMatt> yes, I've seen that they had accepted their social responsibility and removed hate groups, yet there's always someone who wants to complain
[07:49] <TwistedLucidity> Was it all of them? There were some rather darker corners
[07:51] <SuperMatt> well you can only really get the ones which are obvious
[07:51] <SuperMatt> but if I was running something dark, I wouldn't rely on reddit for it
[07:53] <diplo> TwistedLucidity: no only 5 or so
[07:53] <diplo> Still some quite extereme ones there that haven't been removed
[07:54] <directhex> they took out 5 seemingly minor ones, and left the big offenders
[07:54] <diplo> yeah that's what I thought too
[07:54] <directhex> the reasoning given is that they're policiing behaviour, not thought. so being a massive racist is fine, but being a massive racist at specific people is not
[07:54] <directhex> yes, reddit is on fire today though
[07:55] <directhex> i hope all the people threatening to leave for a competing site do so.
[07:56] <diplo> Probably won't though
[07:56] <directhex> npoe
[07:56] <directhex> they've been threatening to leave for years
[07:57] <SuperMatt> ok, this is where people forget there is a difference between freedom of speech, and inciting hatred.
[07:57] <directhex> someone asked about suing on /r/legaladvice
[07:58] <directhex> these kinds of hate-based neo-reactionaries (e.g. gamergaters) have a terrible time trying to understand that "i'm not listening to you" is not illegal. see also their legal threat based response to being blocked by people on twitter
[07:58] <SuperMatt> saying "I think fat people have themselves to blame and should do something about it" is OK, but saying "Lool, look at the fatty, aren't they disgusting! fat people should just die" is not ok
[07:58] <directhex> subs about rape techniques stay. subs about specific rape targets are not. stay classy, reddit!
[08:17] <foobarry> if you get annoyed by reddit, you're too old for it
[08:18] <diplo> heheh
[08:18] <foobarry> s/you/one/
[08:20] <TwistedLucidity> Also, reddit is not a place of free speech. It's private.
[08:21] <TwistedLucidity> Like, say, a shopping arcade.
[08:21] <TwistedLucidity> It may look like a street, you may think you retain various rights; but you are wrong. It's private land and some of your rights just evaporated.
[08:22] <TwistedLucidity> I like reddit for some of the local banter, news and whatnot.
[08:22] <TwistedLucidity> Oh, and the drama. Always with the drama.
[08:24] <foobarry> i only read 1 sub on there now
[08:24] <foobarry> and the linux one about 1nce a month if that
[08:25] <foobarry> although i also went to the button :|
[08:29] <TheGeek> Mornin
[08:29] <popey> pip pip
[08:35] <directhex> http://www.polygon.com/2015/6/10/8763247/ouya-selling-to-razer-says-report
[08:35] <TwistedLucidity> foobarry: The main subs are lowest common denominator dross. The smaller ones are OK. Well, no worse than I'd imagine FB to be
[08:36] <Myrtti> I wonder what I'd need to do to get something 3D scanned in and then to have something made based on the dimensions scanned it (but not an exact copy) *nnnggghhh* I hate being a noob.
[08:36] <TwistedLucidity> directhex: Razer would seem to be a good fit, if the story is true
[08:39] <bigcalm> Good morning peeps :)
[08:46] <TheGeek> Myrtti, I would hazard some form of 3D lazer scanner would be in order.
[08:46] <Myrtti> or just very, very careful measurements
[08:47] <TheGeek> but wouldnt you rather play with one of these
[08:47] <TheGeek> https://www.goprint3d.co.uk/makerbot-digitizer.html?gclid=CjwKEAjw4-SrBRDP483GvreDr2ASJAD5sCIupDQrUGKH_0H1eBMRgHMItMzl5Sx1r60RAUEZUy0lExoCwYzw_wcB
[08:47] <Myrtti> I'm planning to buy a knitting machine and part of the project is replacing original 'motherboard' (which is attached to a cover and buttons) with an Arduino with a shield on top. The Arduino kit doesn't fit under the original covers so I recon new one would be in order
[08:48] <Myrtti> TheGeek: too small.
[08:48] <Myrtti> probably.
[08:48] <Myrtti> *sigh*
[08:55] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[08:55] <TwistedLucidity> Myrtti: How ghetto are you prepared to go?
[08:56] <TwistedLucidity> Because some perspex, making woode molds and an oven might do it.
[08:56] <TwistedLucidity> "wooden"
[08:57] <Myrtti> that's not a bad idea.
[08:58] <JamesTait> Good morning all; happy Ferris Bueller Day! 😃
[08:59] <TwistedLucidity> Myrtti: Of just root around for old plastic lunch boxes and see if one can be made to fit
[08:59] <TwistedLucidity> JamesTait: Sorry, I kinda stole your thunder and declared today "avoid reddit day"
[08:59] <JamesTait> wfm, TwistedLucidity.
[09:00] <TwistedLucidity> "Wood Fired Marshmallows"?
[09:00] <zmoylan-pi> works from marsh
[09:00] <TwistedLucidity> Whole Foods Massive?
[09:01] <zmoylan-pi> well reddit comments are about the level of youtube comments so nothing of value was lost
[09:02] <TwistedLucidity> I noticed that voat.co has collapsed under load.
[09:02] <zmoylan-pi> all those trolls trying to create a 1000 accounts each probably...
[09:02] <TwistedLucidity> Aye
[09:03] <JamesTait> TwistedLucidity, "Works for me" 😉
[09:07] <Myrtti> TwistedLucidity: or I could... uh. maybe... knit something. put it in a mould and uh... pour resin on it.
[09:07] <Myrtti> *snerk*
[09:10] <SuperMatt> http://devopsreactions.tumblr.com/post/121259594477/ksplice
[09:11] <shauno> another angle would be to find an arduino that does fit?
[09:12] <zmoylan-pi> steam it over a hot kettle so it bends into shape that does fit... :-D
[09:12] <shauno> well, like there's the mini/nano variants if it's footprint
[09:12] <shauno> or the 'pro' variants if it's height
[09:12]  * JamesTait lols at SuperMatt 
[09:13] <shauno> (not really much cost difference, 'pro' is just smt instead through-hole, and usually bare holes instead of headers; resulting in vertically-challenged boards)
[09:14] <TwistedLucidity> SuperMatt: This one - http://devopsreactions.tumblr.com/post/120174583354/the-service-is-broken-for-no-apparent-reason-10 shoudl speak to this one - http://devopsreactions.tumblr.com/post/121177282330/when-turning-it-off-and-on-actually-fixes-the
[09:57] <davmor2> JamesTait: Oh Yeah https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYGngLcS0u4
[09:58] <JamesTait> davmor2, Oh Yeah!
[09:59] <davmor2> JamesTait: More important when is Blues Brothers Day we can quote on that alll day long :)
[10:00] <zmoylan-pi> what day are taxes due in cook county?
[10:06] <zmoylan-pi> probably april 22 would be blues brothers day... http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/the-blues-brothers-make-their-world-premiere-on-saturday-night-live
[10:07] <davmor2> It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.
[10:07] <zmoylan-pi> right, time to limp to lidl to see if they have any €20 bt keyboards left...
[10:08] <JamesTait> zmoylan-pi, I'm pretty sure that wasn't the next line.
[10:08] <JamesTait> davmor2, I think Blues Brothers Day is either next Tuesday or next Saturday - depending on whether you go for the earliest release date or just the USA release date.
[10:09] <davmor2> JamesTait: it's just dawned on me that Ferris Bueller isn't actually that quotable for such a cult movie
[10:09] <JamesTait> davmor2, Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
[10:14] <MooDoo> JamesTait: Pardon my French, but Davmor2 is so tight that if you stuck a lump of coal up his ass, in two weeks you'd have a diamond.
[10:14] <JamesTait> MooDoo, and davmor2 says it's not quotable. 😉
[10:15] <MooDoo> hehe
[10:16] <davmor2> JamesTait: no I said isn't that quotable there are maybe 6-7 good lines there rest are either conversations or need a visual accompaniment to make it make sense
[10:16] <zmoylan-pi> http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/ferris_buellers_day_off/quotes/
[10:40] <diplo>  My friend wants a way for 100's of people to upload wedding photos ( not FB ) any suggestions, don't want to have username/passes to use it though
[10:41] <diplo> Looked at owncloud/jquery file upload  (blueimp ) thing, but can't seperate by directories per user easily
[10:43] <MooDoo> diplo - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/28/wedding-photo-apps_n_3519413.html
[10:43] <davmor2> diplo: they pretty much all need username and password
[10:43] <diplo> yeah so I've found, I *could* write something, I cba really though
[10:44] <awilkins> diplo, Syncthing?
[10:44] <diplo> Yeah MooDoo, seen those things
[10:44] <diplo> Debated that awilkins, but means non tech people installing/setting up
[10:44] <diplo> I like the blueimp thing, but no seperate dirs per user
[10:44] <TwistedLucidity> I was going to suggest ownCloud but....hmm...wonder if SeaFile or summat would give you the "per user" folder structure you want
[10:45] <TwistedLucidity> Shame most browsers suck at FTP support
[10:45] <diplo> Owncloud does anonymous uploading, only in Enterprise version though
[10:46] <TwistedLucidity> If you want a folder-per-user, I would have expected at least a username to be mandatory so the system knew where to shove the files
[10:46] <diplo> yeah more so they can create their own dir
[10:46] <awilkins> You have to pay... to remove the "log in" feature
[10:47] <awilkins> Wild.
[10:47] <diplo> heheh
[10:47] <diplo> "Enterprise"
[10:47] <awilkins> And you thought MS was the king of changing a build flag and selling it as "Enterprise"
[10:48] <awilkins> "Hey dogg, I changed MAX_MEM_CEILING to something more than 4GB for ya, that'll be another $200, ta."
[10:48] <bashrc> $200 per bit
[10:49] <davmor2> bashrc: per nibble
[10:49] <diplo> :)
[10:49] <TwistedLucidity> "zero ohm resistor"
[10:50] <awilkins> "conductive bridge abatement operation"
[10:50] <awilkins> (wire link snip)
[12:05] <davmor2> http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/celebritynews/11666316/christopher-lee-dies-live.html noooooo
[12:09] <MooDoo> hmmm just read that.....hmmm they are all dropping like flies :(
[12:16] <popey> old people do that
[12:22] <shauno> 93's a helluva run
[12:48] <DJones> Its not often I congratulate MS for doing something good, but http://search.slashdot.org/story/15/06/11/1223236/ask-toolbar-now-considered-malware-by-microsoft   Way to go MS :)
[12:48] <popey> ho ho
[12:50] <davmor2> yeah I bet the bing bar is still fine though right :D
[12:58] <ujjain> 	I want to try out shooting for the first time. All you have to do is to decide whether you wish to visit on a Saturday (sporting rifle) at 2.30 pm or a Thursday evening (prone rifle) at 8.00 pm. What is easier?
[14:03] <foobarry> the one they give girls
[14:03] <foobarry> apparently the kick off the rifle will give you bruising
[14:13] <shauno> it shouldn't be that bad, they're both sporting classes, just putting a .22 through a bit of paper
[14:14] <shauno> wrong country for las-vegas style "let's go blow chunks out of the range"
[14:18] <zmoylan-pi> try archery instead, much more fun
[14:20] <foobarry> my workmate went clay pigeon and said he was hurting after his session
[14:20] <foobarry> i like the sound of archery
[14:21] <zmoylan-pi> shooting with a shotgun has much more of a kick than a .22 rifle
[14:21] <diplo> My son wants me to take him to arxhery lessons
[14:21] <shauno> yeah, a shotgun is a different beast.  if his choices are between prone & lightweight sporting, they're much the same
[14:21] <zmoylan-pi> if the uk is like ireland archery is available almost everywhere.  it's suprising how many archery ranges there are about
[14:22] <shauno> lightweight sporting replaced pistol-class shooting when they made sporting pistols neigh-on impossible after dunblane
[14:22] <awilkins> I wonder how many of the laws that require us to practise archery on the village green are still in effect
[14:22] <awilkins> And whether that means we can just rock up with a target and start plinking arrows
[14:23] <zmoylan-pi> i was thought archery by ex irish special forces guy.  he was chuck norris x steven segal levels of awesome :-D
[14:23] <popey> I went clay pigeon shooting at Bisley for a company jolly. Was exceptionally jolly!
[14:24] <shauno> I tried hunting in michigan.  it was horrible.
[14:24] <popey> Would do again, which I said at the time - about 10 years ago - and never have since.
[14:31] <bashrc> hunts jaffa cakes
[14:33] <zmoylan-pi> be careful, a wounded jaffa cake can be nasty when cornered
[14:38] <shauno> jaffa cakes shouldn't have corners.  they're mouth-shaped for a reason!
[14:39]  * davmor2 shoots the jaffa cakes so bashrc can't have any muhahahahahahahaha ;)
[14:42]  * zmoylan-pi hopes that shauno had a licence to hunt jaffa cakes out of season
[14:44]  * zmoylan-pi loves the handing salmon in suspicious circumstances law in the uk :-) http://now-here-this.timeout.com/2013/03/11/londons-top-ten-weird-laws/
[16:48] <davmor2> popey: a waffer thin mint sir.....Oh come on sir just one waffer thin mint
[17:23] <bujji> hello all
[19:53] <diddledan> http://www.framestore.com/work/galaxy-choose-silk-chauffeur this is fascinating
[19:54] <diddledan> galaxy brought audrey hepburn out of retirement
[19:57] <MartijnVdS> wow.. local council is releasing a list of trees
[19:57] <MartijnVdS> in XML
[19:59] <MartijnVdS> http://opendata.alphenaandenrijn.nl/bomen.xml
[20:02] <diddledan> xml trees eh?
[20:03] <MartijnVdS> diddledan: yeah.. just look at that 21MB dump
[20:29] <popey> evening
[20:35] <daftykins> hallo there
[20:36] <daftykins> just had a heavy thunderstorm and some mild flooding at my place :(
[20:36] <popey> yoiks
[20:38] <daftykins> i'm not even low lying XD just pesky backed up drains
[21:15] <daftykins> i decided to power a few things off during the storm, which i never do. on firing back up my UPS was all "newp replace battery"
[21:15] <daftykins> turned it off again, back on... hooray it accepted it :D
[21:16] <popey> hah
[21:16] <popey> trickster ups
[21:16] <daftykins> it definitely is beyond life now though, i think i've been using that one for 10 years
[21:19] <daftykins> i saw a new kind of Yorkie chocolate bar in the shop just before :O Yorkie Peanut?
[21:19] <daftykins> new one on me
[21:27] <zmoylan-pi> they appear every few years
[21:33] <shauno> no idea why, they're obviously inferior to raisin yorkies
[21:34] <zmoylan-pi> putting raisans in chocolate is merely a waste of chocolate
[21:36] <daftykins> shauno: ^5! i just purchased a Raisin yorkie just then :>
[21:36] <daftykins> or raisin and biscuit even, i think they are o0
[21:36] <daftykins> ah this is great, today marks 3 months since i moved my old xbox360 account to Guernsey from the UK - only to discover that they don't let Guernseyans use xbox live
[21:37] <daftykins> finally just switched back to UK and can play online again \o/
[21:38] <shauno> you missed arguing with 13yos?
[21:38] <daftykins> i only play online with my friends :) we pretend they don't exist
[21:38] <daftykins> the xbox one has been fine thankfully, but their system instantly irreversibly bans any account that switches region within 3 months
[21:39] <shauno> ouch
[21:39] <shauno> I'd tell you my NES doesn't have these problems, but I'd start to sound like zmoylan-pi ;)
[21:39] <daftykins> XD
[21:40]  * zmoylan-pi banishes shauno to guernsey....
[21:43] <shauno> hm.. do they get cable?
[21:44] <daftykins> tubes and TV? nope
[21:45] <daftykins> 40/5 Mb VDSL2 best offer, TV via freesat/sky if you want it
[21:46] <zmoylan-pi> and the high wind speeds will make ip over avian unreliable, you'll need the heavier hardier sheep version :-)
[21:47] <shauno> 40?!
[21:48] <shauno> do they just sling harddrives in glass bottles or something?
[21:49] <zmoylan-pi> amphibious sheep
[21:49] <zmoylan-pi> called bob
[21:54] <daftykins> zmoylan-pi: i really do hope you're writing that RFC in your idle moments ;)
[21:55] <shauno> I'm still proud of EweDP, even if no-one laughed the first time
[21:55] <daftykins> aww i would've laughed had i seen that one
[21:55] <daftykins> how many hard disks do you think we can strap to a sheep o0
[21:56] <daftykins> it's not sneakernet, it's hoofnet
[21:57] <zmoylan-pi> well if we still want them to float  we'll have to balence them or use the hard disks as a keel...
[21:58] <zmoylan-pi> self righting sheep...
[21:58] <shauno> hm.  but if you float them, you can't dye different sheep as a compression algo
[21:59] <zmoylan-pi> there's an idea, if the packets take forever to transfer you could shave qr codes into their fleece...
[22:00] <zmoylan-pi> or tattoo the 1s and 0s on their skin necessitating having to shear them to read the information.  so if the packet is intercepted you'll at least know it was read preventing mitm attacks
[22:03] <shauno> dolly attacks aside
[22:04] <zmoylan-pi> you wouldn't download a sheep....
[22:05] <shauno> diddledan would =x
[22:05] <zmoylan-pi> yeah... wel... diddledan is odd... even for this channel... :-P
[22:14] <daftykins> lol
[22:15] <daftykins> d'aww he's our diddlest dan, you can't take that away from here!
