[00:00] here we go [00:00] has the world ended? [00:00] yes [00:04] well it seems to have killed monsterkiller [00:05] it's a good job I'm not known as honeymonster in here :-p [00:07] looks like it might have killed irc.mozilla.org [00:07] I've been disconnected and can't reconnect [00:07] ok it's back [00:08] seriously? [00:09] yes, serials! [00:14] and now my itunes is beachballing. oh the woe! [00:14] how many tb of media is in your itunes library? [00:15] 0.03? [00:15] I'm assuming you meant TB rather than Tb [00:17] when i used mac i found itunes was ok as long as you only had a few gigs of media. once you went over a tb it got iffy and crashed a lot more [00:18] yeah I've only got 0.03TB tho [00:18] so maybe itunes just really sucks now :-) [00:19] mine's somewhere around 35,000 songs [00:21] but yes, itunes has always sucked. and consistently got worse. it's trying to do far too many jobs. [00:21] and itunes on windows seems to have had a higher level of suckage [00:21] heh, to put it mildly [00:22] speaking of apple - the steve bobs movie is due in octember apparently? [00:23] * diddledan adds it to his "I might watch at some point. surprise me by magically appearing in my plex media server" [00:23] no idea [00:23] I haven't even thought about november yet. I have way too much going on this summer [00:42] but it's so close to christmas!! :-D http://www.xmasclock.com/ [00:42] oh don't get me started :| [00:43] we're having a mess at work because I want to go away for christmas. I've worked the last 9 in a row. but no-one else wants to take it [00:45] shauno: they got too used to you doing it that they assumed you would again? [00:46] put santa down on the roster for christmas [00:46] "Update 2 5:35 p.m. Pacific Time: It appears the Beats 1 radio station is currently experiencing an outage and is unavailable for some listeners. Attempting to play the station results in an unknown error. " [00:47] damn leap second? [00:47] lets blame that [00:47] hm. it's not unknown here. says Cannot Parse: This data is damaged, incomplete or incompatible [00:49] mozilla's irc is bouncy [00:49] my pi abides :-) [00:49] get mozilla.org to host their irc on your pi? [00:56] shauno: you're right about itunes with apple music being a UI/UX-trainwreck [00:56] if it forces them to drop some of the cruft from various mozilla projects it might not be a bad idea [00:56] there's no obvious reason why the "itunes store" is separate from the "new" tab (what does "new" actually mean anyway?) [00:57] I can't see why there's no way to add items to your library from the store tab using your subscription [00:59] I do like the new windows background image tho (unrelated, but meh) [01:04] diddledan: o0 [01:04] daftykins: scrollback reveals all, but new build 10159 [01:06] ja i have an away log [01:06] tbh i installed then had to go out XD so i've not seen anything [01:06] if you don't want to look for the blog, it's at http://blogs.windows.com/bloggingwindows/2015/06/30/whoa-another-pc-build/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter [01:08] looks like i checked at the wrong time [02:31] beuller.... beuller.... beuller.... [02:44] I posted a feature request: https://windows.uservoice.com/forums/265757-windows-feature-suggestions/suggestions/8655949-custom-boot-logo-animation [03:07] * zmoylan-pi makes note to add suggestion for a completely new ui with no similarity to previous oses... :-P [03:08] zmoylan-pi: isn't that Ubuntu-Touch's remit? [03:08] nah windows has the patent on random changes that annoy everyone [03:13] win10 is actually really nice [03:14] that's just the stockholm effect kicking in after all the years of unity on ubuntu :-D [03:17] so itunes on my mac is busted completely [03:25] it's apple's way of telling you that you need a shiny new computer [03:32] apple aren't going to catch me that way :-p [03:39] not after the last 5 times? :-) [03:45] 5 times bitten, twice shy [05:16] uh oh [05:16] alnost sleep time [05:17] and its hot as usual [05:33] 1.9/10 maybe il avoid this film [06:05] morning peeps [06:05] allo [06:06] hey diddledan ; how are ya today [06:07] I'm good ta [06:07] what on earth are you still doing awake? [06:07] :-p [06:07] you're still awake, too [06:08] * knightwise just got up [06:12] yo [06:12] ;] [06:21] "black work" is tantalising [06:21] just finished watching last sunday's episode [06:22] sheridan smith is wow [06:22] <3 [06:22] oh dear. it's mailman day [06:23] first one has arrived for hampshire@mainman.lug.org.uk [06:23] mailman** [07:07] popey: you like crowdfunding, right? [07:07] so does Greece, aparently [07:09] craziest campaign of the week goes to: "Greek Bailout Fund" on indiegogo [07:09] yeah, SuperMatt , you beat me [07:09] unfortunately indiegogo appears to be overwhelmed right now [07:10] yeah, I was just checking it myself and was about to ask if anyone else saw it as down [07:10] https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/greek-bailout-fund [07:11] people laughed at ubuntuphone's 32million target. that's a far cry from this campaign's target of 1.6beeleon [07:11] they've raised 575,459euro in 2 days [07:11] I think it's tongue in cheek, but damn, they're doing quite well for a joke [07:15] I'll laugh if they reach their target [07:16] but audacity sometimes works [07:16] well I'd laugh too because of all those silly rewards that they'd be beholden to === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte [07:21] I found the other day that there's a donation page for the US deficit too. except that one's on an actual .gov, which makes it less funny and more o_O [07:22] anybody ever used links ? [07:22] knightwise: as in the text-mode web browser? I have if so [07:22] do you have any idea how to copy a url ? [07:23] erm [07:23] no [07:23] context? [07:23] ohh, the console browser? on mine I have to hold alt while I'm mousing [07:23] Say i have a link to the torrent file that i would like to copy over to transmission-cli [07:26] ah found it [07:27] I think I'd just turn the status bar on [07:27] you can select the torrent client in setup [07:29] I use elinks, not sure how similar it is, but I set up a protocol-handler for magnet: [07:29] makes the whole thing near-invisible [07:52] howdy all [07:54] m00 [07:54] sup? [07:58] hmm soup sounds like a good idea [07:59] hot spicy chicken soup [07:59] ooh now you're talking! [08:20] Morning all [08:21] morning davmor2 [08:25] MooDoo: I'm worried Deeply dippy is the song stuck in my head this morning [08:27] Good morning all; happy Mailman^WPostal Worker Day! 😃 [08:29] It's definitely Mailman day [08:29] I had my email to prove it [08:33] deeply dippy about deeply dippy? === zmoylan-1i is now known as zmoylan-pi [09:00] lol [09:06] morning boys and girls. [09:07] allo [09:14] morning diddledan [09:19] Blimey, the jet engine in the server has kicked in early this morning. [09:20] JamesTait: yeah the ones i have are bloody loud at the moment glad they are outside in the garage [09:21] MooDoo, so is mine. Right behind me. 😉 [09:24] JamesTait: heatwave issues? [09:24] it's wimbledon fortnight. where's the rain?! [09:24] over here :( [09:24] someone ordered the wrong weather! [09:25] I blame michael fish [09:29] diddledan: Just had a few drops of it here, although it's still swelteringly hot! [09:29] * diplo forecasts a thunderstorm soon [09:30] Showers here tomorrow, according to the Today Scope. ☺ [09:35] Good morning peeps :) [09:35] davmor2: VM had pushed new firmware to my superhub which reset it to be a wifi hub not modem only. [09:36] bigcalm: sucky [09:36] bigcalm: nice [09:36] Yeah. At least it's good to know why something is not working rather than have to complain to VM that they are broken [09:38] Why is this called a socket? I would have thought it's a plug: http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/6a-side-entry-euro-socket-jp19v [09:38] Is it based upon the metal pins rather than the plastic casing? [09:39] bigcalm: sockets are always female [09:39] I suppose that's an odd case [09:40] the unit itself is a plug but the pins are socketed [09:40] it's a safety thing that it's made that way tho [09:41] side-entry sounds sooo ohmyy [09:41] :D [09:41] Yes [09:43] so the greek bailout fund is up to 712k [09:54] only another 1.5993billion to go [09:57] shauno: have you heard about xhyve yet? [09:57] :) [09:57] shauno: https://github.com/mist64/xhyve [10:03] anyone on talktalk got a good deal off them lately?? [10:21] hi [10:21] anyone around? [10:21] of course [10:21] ok :) [10:21] so my Meizu Ubuntu Phone just came a little while ago [10:21] ,but [10:21] invoice says it's the Gold one as it's meant to be, but the box says it's the silver one on the label [10:22] so it seems they sent wrong one [10:22] have you contacted them? [10:22] I tried to phone just now, but that wouedn't go through, I'll email soon [10:22] Sounds like a supplier issue, not an Ubuntu one [10:22] bigcalm: yes indeed [10:22] ,but just saying here really [10:23] popey: Silver one [10:23] will look nice to [10:23] maybe better in a way really, but still wanted Gold [10:23] isnt it just a plastic cover? [10:23] popey: is it best to keep the box shut with hte plastic still on? I guess so if going to maybe send it back [10:23] dunno [10:24] never sent a phone back [10:24] ask meizu [10:24] popey: no me either and I probably won't with this one to now, but it's still wrong colour if [10:25] popey: yeah it's just mainly a colour I guess like your saying, and easy enough mistake to make if both are near I guess to send other one. [10:26] * sebsebsebb should go back to trying to prepare his speech more properly [10:26] * sebsebsebb is probablly doing a speech tommorow [10:27] popey: did you order a Meizu? [10:27] not yet [10:27] i already have one [10:27] oh you got one free from Canonical? [10:27] well, it's Canonical's not mine [10:28] i ordered a bq e4.5 [10:28] e45 is a beauty cream :-p [10:28] yeah I know you got a e4.5 [10:28] so owning an e45 phone makes you pretty? [10:28] Yes. [10:28] :-p [10:29] methinks you're overestimating the ability of a moisturiser... :-P [10:29] zmoylan-pi: so the phone just gives you soft skin? [10:30] it's all those radiations I guess [10:30] popey: that Canonical Meizu you'll probably get to keep it though? [10:30] no superpowers whatsoever [10:31] dunno [10:31] I might pick up an e5 at some point [10:31] * sebsebsebb might be a e5 soon since.... [10:31] buy above [10:32] * sebsebsebb might buy a Windows 10 convergence phone to, (no joking) [10:33] oh and let's get a Iphone to whilst at it, no I have no interest in having a iphone [11:44] the sun's gone behind cloud! [11:44] i want my money back! [11:46] but if the cloud goes away so does all your data!! [11:57] * popey turns the air con off for a bit [12:11] ooh, big boom [12:11] could we be getting a storm? [12:17] OHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHHH [12:17] hey Laney [12:18] how's your touchpad treating you ? [12:18] (on your XPS13) .. (cuz otherwise that sounds just plain creepy) [12:18] doesn't have palm detection [12:18] so a bit annoying until you get used to avoiding touching it [12:18] the space repeating issue is far worse for me [12:18] Laney: i got that fixed with the bios update and a patch [12:19] I'm on A04 [12:19] what patch? [12:19] ask the guys over at #xps13 .. they know which patch (its a dell patch) [12:19] don't you have the link? [12:19] not with me unfortunately [12:19] ok [12:35] Network switch still does not fit, despite using a right angled mains lead. Bother [12:35] bigcalm: anglegrinder [12:37] Tempting to see if we can cut a chunk out of the back of the network cabinet [12:44] I even put the ears on backwards [12:45] Maybe I can move the vertical struts forwards [12:45] you could make your own lead with bits from maplins. might give you more flexibility? [12:45] Remember to arrange the mortgage before going to Maplins [12:46] you can get the bits cheaper else where but sometimes having them right there is easiest [12:46] zmoylan-pi: did that so that I could do a right angle plug [12:46] We have a Maplin 2 min walk from the office in town, quite handy [12:48] bigcalm: use some plastic tubing an longer screws ;) [12:49] o.O [12:49] can you mount unit in tack diagonally? [12:49] Even wondering if I can relocate the mains socket on the switch [12:49] *rack [12:49] But that might be a touch odd [12:50] zmoylan-pi: not sure my boss would go with that idea [12:50] or your boss can splash out on new rack? :-D [12:50] Yeah, I have mentioned that and he said no [12:50] Which is irritating [12:50] diagonal it is :-P [12:51] bigcalm: http://www.rackmountsolutions.net/standoff_rack_extender.asp [12:52] davmor2: nice idea. The door wouldn't close on the cabinet though [12:53] bigcalm: that the expensive version of my idea of a bit of plastic pipe and longer screws :) [12:54] put switch on roof of rack and cover with camoflage net... :-) [12:54] There are lots of options. But to get what the boss really wants means spending monies on a new switch. But I don't know if there is even a switch that does what we want at such a shallow depth [12:54] bigcalm: what's actually stopping it from going back far enough? [12:55] davmor2: the back of the network cabinet [12:55] And then the wall that it's mounted to [12:55] bigcalm: how much addition room do you need? [12:56] I just reminded myself of "I'm so ronery": https://youtu.be/UEaKX9YYHiQ [13:01] greek bailout is over 800k [13:19] oh boy [13:19] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuqkrFurek0 [13:19] i was looking for some star trek fan fic but .. this is bad [13:23] knightwise: it looks like it was recorded on vhs [13:24] vhs covered up a multitude of sins... :-) [13:24] and wires [13:25] yeah that really is terrible [13:26] I can't watch any more [13:26] and there are others out there that are realy realy good.. [13:26] not this one unfortunately [13:26] lol [13:32] Star trek Continues for example is quite good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJf2ovQtI6w [13:36] the guy who plays scotty is in fact james doohans sun [13:36] son [13:37] can't we just name a sun after james doohan? [13:37] zmoylan-pi: that would also be appropriate [13:37] and a 1000 years from now the scotty empire will rise... :-) [13:56] * bashrc_ likes Star trek Continues [14:04] cool bashrc_ , the first and second episode is awesome [14:04] they even have lou ferringo [14:04] as a guest star === flexiondotorg_ is now known as flexiondotorg [14:59] hmmm... anyone know a good command line bittorrent client ? [15:00] i'm looking at transmission-cli but its kinda hard to spot the differences between transmission cli and transmission remote cli [15:02] knightwise: any reason why it needs to be cli? Transmissiond is the one I use with a web interface [15:06] Then i have to open up a port from the outside. I was thinking of doing it over ssh from the command line [15:06] my synology has a web based torrent client [15:07] knightwise: transmissiond with transmission-remote on the same system using loopback [15:08] knightwise: the difference between transmissiond+transmission-remote vs transmission-cli is that the -cli doesn't go into the background when your terminal disappears [15:10] ah ok , but that is not a problem. I leave the terminal window open via byobu [15:10] and even bigcalm's suggestion of webinterface would work over ssh - just forward the port from your local system when you ssh into the server and you'll be able to access the webinterface without exposing it to the network [15:10] diddledan: true; [15:10] your JSON is malformed :-p [15:10] but sometimes I like to do it the geeky way :) + then i can use it off my phone should i need to . [15:11] it should be { diddledan: true } [15:11] even better would be to quote the "diddledan" :-p [15:11] diddledan.slap() [15:11] so that would be { "diddledan": true } [15:12] there are no limits to your nerdism [15:12] :) [15:12] teehee [15:12] (I do -daemon and -remote too) [15:12] shauno: you didn't define a slap() function on the object diddledan [15:13] oh trust me, it's documented. [15:13] lol [15:13] I'm not the first one that's needed that one :) [15:13] be honest, you wrote the spec [15:13] basically I can do transmission-cli .. and when i'm done I just close the window (and make sure that the uploads stop) [15:17] https://youtu.be/aEr6K1bwIVs [15:17] I mostly prefer -remote because I fire it from elinks. This way I can return to the page before the download is finished [15:25] ah , shauno , that i can understand [15:33] the greece bailout is nearly at 1meeleon [15:36] ugh :P [15:36] morning daftykins [15:36] hallo! [15:36] sorry, I don't understand german [15:36] well, there's some sense of scale. the payment they missed was e1.5bn [15:36] hallo == german for something [15:36] then how did you know it was German? [15:36] :O [15:37] oy at my bedroom being 80F / 28C overnight [15:37] ouch [15:37] tis hot indeed [15:38] cortana says it's 31C here [15:38] right now [15:38] O_O in the outdoors? [15:39] that'll be in the shade [15:39] in cortanas server room, in your country, in your city, in your gchq monitoring station? [15:39] ah :) Star trek Continues episode 4 :) [15:39] https://www.bing.com/search?q=Weather&ts=1435765172122&nclid=eYGtqq56IvybpVMajJPw3Q== [15:39] they don't need monitoring stations on islands. they just have two little old ladies who know everyone's business. [15:40] i don't know about you guys but i make a point of not using any voice recognition tech [15:41] I want to, but I haven't found anything that can grok my accent [15:42] voice recognition and irish accent is a swing and a hiss [15:42] luckily that's one accent I don't have :) [15:42] XD [15:43] mmm-mmm, peshwari naan left over from last night's curry, for a late late late lunch [15:43] and as someone who uses public transport i don't want to have to beat some gobdaw who's talking to their phone the entire trip [15:43] too true [15:44] well, I wouldn't use it in public anyway. there's a wrong place for almost every tech, doesn't mean discounting the whole thing [15:45] probably a god send for disabled but apart from a few places like kiosks and receptions it should not be used in public [15:45] or office cubicles [15:48] just noticed they called me Deve on last nights curry order [15:48] close enough [15:48] deve? [15:48] that's a random [15:48] devekins [15:49] :> [15:49] poor devekins didn't get their curry last night... [15:49] I usually use John for things like that. I'll usually respond to it, and most countries in europe can figure it out [15:49] I like bert [15:49] what if someone else has that idea? :) [15:50] I think the best one to use is cholmondely [15:50] giving the name psycho makes deliveries faster :-P [15:51] diddledan: Mr. Warner? [15:51] indeed [15:52] would love to hear what "random call centre" pronounces that as [15:52] i had no idea what he was saying for so long [16:31] has ALL of the uk got a heatwave? [16:31] I'm burnt! [16:32] scotland? [16:32] :D [16:59] nah, west midlands. I look like a lobster! === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away [20:04] ChunkzZ: lightly browned or burnt to a cinder? [20:17] greek bailout now stands at ~1.3meeleon [20:17] err [20:17] let me type that again [20:17] greek bailout now stands at 1.13meeleon [20:18] http://www.grimsbytelegraph.co.uk/Vulcan-Bomber-photobombs-happy-couple-s-wedding/story-26816218-detail/story.html [20:23] I think that's photoshopped :-p [20:24] * diddledan mutters something about parallax [20:24] <-- clever ol' stick!
