| daftykins | ly cheap? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| daftykins | :D | 00:00 |
| ali1234 | yes | 00:00 |
| ali1234 | i mean it's not a top end phone or anything but it's not crap | 00:00 |
| ali1234 | it's better than a top teir phone from 3 years ago | 00:00 |
| ali1234 | if it had AOSP instead of hacked about manufacturer nonsense it would be even better | 00:01 |
| daftykins | nah that sounds pretty good, it's quite close to what these samsung galaxy s3's i fixed are | 00:03 |
| ali1234 | windows is booting :) | 00:25 |
| ali1234 | taking it's time tho | 00:26 |
| daftykins | classic server2003 on ghetto hardware i guess | 00:30 |
| daftykins | with the new board it might end up taking a while reinstalling every component too XD | 00:31 |
| ali1234 | i think that is what it's doing | 00:33 |
| ali1234 | the hardware isn't "bad" tho | 00:33 |
| ali1234 | it's dual CPU, 1GB | 00:33 |
| ali1234 | which is pretty good for 2003 | 00:33 |
| daftykins | ouch at that RAM | 00:39 |
| ali1234 | it's booted and i don't have the password, so now i can't shut it down | 00:41 |
| zmoylan-pi | and it's barely saturday \o/ | 00:46 |
| daftykins | ali1234: will you ever see that 'engineer' again? | 00:48 |
| daftykins | it's just in time for 10 days left of Server 2003 support! | 00:49 |
| ali1234 | never saw him in the first place | 00:49 |
| ali1234 | and yeah they already bought a new server | 00:49 |
| ali1234 | this one died the day before they were due to switch over | 00:49 |
| zmoylan-pi | nice timing | 00:49 |
| ali1234 | people don't tend to come to me until someone else has already messed up really bad | 00:49 |
| daftykins | lol | 00:50 |
| ali1234 | how am i supposed to turn this thing off? | 00:50 |
| daftykins | ACPI shutdown? | 00:50 |
| zmoylan-pi | there's a shutdown option at password isn't there? | 00:50 |
| ali1234 | it's greyed | 00:51 |
| daftykins | not on DCs | 00:51 |
| ali1234 | ACPI shutdown either doesn't work or takes a reallllly long time | 00:51 |
| ali1234 | the HDs are going mad but it doesn't seem to be doing anything | 00:51 |
| zmoylan-pi | a windows server just starting? thundering herd | 00:51 |
| daftykins | keep waiting :) | 00:52 |
| ali1234 | it;s so hot in here tho | 00:52 |
| daftykins | hehehe | 00:52 |
| daftykins | same, i should power off this windows 10 box | 00:52 |
| ali1234 | still not shut down... still churning | 01:21 |
| zmoylan-pi | might just be running a disk check after wonky shutdown on old motherboard? | 01:22 |
| ali1234 | omg... "google now launcher" | 01:25 |
| ali1234 | just install it... makes your phone not suck :) | 01:25 |
| ali1234 | i just need the AOSP lock screen now | 01:31 |
| daftykins | who fancies a challenge? | 01:33 |
| daftykins | "It's currently powering up fine. But if I unplug it from power for awhile and then plug it back in, it won't power up. If I leave it unplugged for a day or so and plug it back in, it'll power up." | 01:33 |
| daftykins | a mates LCD which has an external brick adapter, giving a consistent voltage (so is assumed working fine) | 01:33 |
| zmoylan-pi | heat? | 01:35 |
| ali1234 | capacitors | 01:35 |
| daftykins | heat shouldn't be an issue, it lives in his basement :D apparently the caps all look ok, most are tiny little ones i think he said | 01:36 |
| ali1234 | they can look okay and still be bad | 01:37 |
| ali1234 | there's nothing else that can fail | 01:37 |
| ali1234 | you could try a different power supply | 01:37 |
| daftykins | makes sense, thanks! i'll pass it on | 01:38 |
| ali1234 | also don't assume that the power supply is fine because you tested it under no load | 01:41 |
| daftykins | very true, that | 01:44 |
| ali1234 | ooo here comes thunder | 01:44 |
| ali1234 | hmm big flash of lightning there | 01:47 |
| daftykins | :D | 01:48 |
| daftykins | i loved a good storm, until i had that flooding the other day | 01:48 |
| ali1234 | last time it properly rained here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CoZ2kwu-eY | 01:49 |
| zmoylan-pi | growing up is the difference between your reaction to snow as a kid and snow as an adult... | 01:50 |
| shauno | we had some great rain here yesterday, while the rest of the internet was whining about their heatwave | 01:53 |
| daftykins | ali1234: erk! | 01:56 |
| daftykins | mmm i do like these digitalocean VPSs | 02:03 |
| diddledan | \o/ | 02:30 |
| daftykins | :D | 02:33 |
| shauno | I think I've given up on sleep | 02:54 |
| daftykins | good man, join us! | 02:55 |
| shauno | it's everything I thought it'd be :) | 03:06 |
| shauno | so, ARIN figure they've got about enough blocks left for the next 2-4 weeks. fun times. | 03:07 |
| daftykins | hahaha | 03:08 |
| daftykins | time to NAT all the things | 03:08 |
| diddledan | CGN is evil | 03:09 |
| shauno | they've already started moving people to the 'waiting list' if they're approved for a block that's bigger than they can provide | 03:09 |
| daftykins | cats grasping nunchuks? | 03:10 |
| shauno | carrier-grade NAT | 03:10 |
| shauno | (nat at the isp instead of the enduser) | 03:10 |
| diddledan | I've just tonight restarted my tunnelbroker connection | 03:11 |
| daftykins | ah | 03:11 |
| shauno | I should go nag UPC again sometime | 03:11 |
| shauno | they kept saying summer 2013. sometime last year they took the '2013' bit out the FAQ so it just said 'summer' | 03:11 |
| daftykins | lol | 03:12 |
| diddledan | haha | 03:12 |
| diddledan | who cares which summer, they're thinking. | 03:12 |
| shauno | oh no, it has changed | 03:12 |
| shauno | Liberty Global/UPC are in the process of implementing IPV6 and will be done in 2014. | 03:12 |
| diddledan | not long to go then | 03:12 |
| shauno | that's only a year away ;) | 03:13 |
| daftykins | quick, back to the future! | 03:13 |
| shauno | don't go back! I've decided going backwards would be terrible | 03:14 |
| shauno | it'd be like .. you get the results for the lottery. and then win the lottery. and then buy the ticket. | 03:15 |
| shauno | by the 'end' of it you're one pound richer because you haven't bought the ticket yet | 03:15 |
| daftykins | :) | 03:17 |
| daftykins | but you get to go out as a pleasurable moment. | 03:17 |
| shauno | I keep winning the lottery. it's horrible | 03:17 |
| daftykins | all you win is more tickets? | 03:18 |
| shauno | I keep winning a fiver, but not often enough that I'm actually coming out ahead | 03:18 |
| shauno | but when you wake up and find you have an email telling you you've won, it doesn't say how much you've won | 03:18 |
| shauno | so you get out of bed, go login to their site, it still doesn't tell you, you have to go dig it up and then it finally tells you .. 5 quid | 03:19 |
| shauno | I think if it just said "well done, you've won a fiver" in the email I'd be happy. like finding money in your pants when you do laundry | 03:19 |
| daftykins | :) | 03:20 |
| shauno | but because it drags you though the whole "sooo do I go to work or not?" thought process, by time you find the actual number you're just disappointed | 03:20 |
| shauno | and this is why I can't sleep at 4am. my head gets way too caught up in stuff that really, truely doesn't matter | 03:23 |
| daftykins | i'm learning about chainrings! | 03:37 |
| daftykins | BCD or bolt circular diameter was a new one to me | 03:38 |
| shauno | chain rings? | 03:41 |
| daftykins | yeah the front sprockets on a bike | 03:41 |
| daftykins | need to replace my whole drivetrain | 03:41 |
| ali1234 | yay password crackers | 03:42 |
| ali1234 | i finally turned it off | 03:42 |
| ali1234 | now my ears are ringing | 03:43 |
| shauno | ahh | 03:43 |
| daftykins | you pinched a hash from disk and went to town on it? | 03:43 |
| ali1234 | yeah | 03:43 |
| shauno | I have to replace something stupid on mine, which is annoying. especially since it looks like I'll spend more on tools than parts | 03:43 |
| daftykins | ah, i wonder if you can do the wonderful windows 7 method | 03:43 |
| daftykins | boot liveCD, replace the accessibility program which runs on the login screen with cmd.exe | 03:44 |
| daftykins | press shift or something a few times to run the accessibility helper, cmd runs as SYSTEM... hurrah \o/ | 03:44 |
| daftykins | :) | 03:44 |
| ali1234 | couldn't do any of that without rebooting.. couldn't reboot without the password | 03:44 |
| daftykins | shauno: hmm what part? | 03:44 |
| ali1234 | i got the hashes from the disk image i took previously | 03:44 |
| daftykins | eh i'd have mashed reset | 03:44 |
| daftykins | ah handy :D | 03:44 |
| ali1234 | then it will sulk next time i boot | 03:45 |
| shauno | the bottom ... bracket? | 03:45 |
| daftykins | the insert between the cranks? ah, is it grinding? | 03:45 |
| shauno | nah, it's absolutely fine. pristine even. | 03:45 |
| * daftykins blinks | 03:45 | |
| shauno | I've chewed the living familyfriendly out of the shaft that goes through it. and it's some sealed/integrated job so the whole thing goes with it | 03:46 |
| daftykins | erk | 03:46 |
| daftykins | my MTB runs this funky shimano hollowtech tech, you can peer right through the centre of the bottom bracket from either side :D | 03:47 |
| shauno | that kinda sounds like a haven for crud? | 03:48 |
| daftykins | not seen anything in mine | 03:48 |
| shauno | cool | 03:48 |
| shauno | mine's just .. I replaced the crank because that was chewed up. and the bolt that sorta held it on, since I'd threaded it so badly you'd never have known it was a bolt | 03:49 |
| daftykins | but yeah, not changed it since i bought this bike in 2008 - sooo yep new one time :D | 03:49 |
| daftykins | hahaha | 03:49 |
| shauno | and 2 weeks later it's falling off again | 03:49 |
| daftykins | i've never actually done any of this business, but my mate knows a lot about it and has offered to help | 03:50 |
| shauno | heh, me neither. but I figure it can't be that difficult | 03:50 |
| shauno | I learn from mistakes, and I'm making lots of mistakes, so it'll sort itself out eventually | 03:50 |
| daftykins | definitely :) | 03:51 |
| daftykins | i'd like to work out how to bleed my brakes properly, but i see the container of hydraulic fluid has spilt inside my repair kits' box | 03:51 |
| shauno | it just means it's pretty much unusable for now, because my wrench doesn't fit this crank, so when it falls off this time, it's off for good | 03:51 |
| shauno | (I don't have a socket that's big enough for the bolt, but small enough to fit in the recess the bolt lives in) | 03:52 |
| daftykins | annoying the way tools can be like that :> | 03:54 |
| daftykins | good laaaaaawd it costs £31.49 for a _single_ chainring | 04:02 |
| shauno | http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00TFD6C78/ seems I need that spikey thing in the middle. that's not too bad | 04:08 |
| daftykins | http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/uc/en/park-tool-bottom-bracket-tool-bbt22/rp-prod17704 | 04:11 |
| daftykins | same as that perhaps | 04:11 |
| daftykins | and i think CRC are in Ireland :) | 04:11 |
| daftykins | ah Belfast | 04:13 |
| shauno | bloody hell. they want e24 just for that part | 04:14 |
| daftykins | ah must be me viewing the lovely rockdweller tax free edition | 04:15 |
| shauno | I mean, spot the difference .. http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00FR24JVC/ | 04:16 |
| daftykins | "material: metal" | 04:16 |
| daftykins | ah yeah, likely story | 04:16 |
| daftykins | :> | 04:16 |
| shauno | heh, yeah :) | 04:16 |
| shauno | not that fussed, I'll lose it long before I need it again | 04:17 |
| daftykins | that's the spirit! | 04:18 |
| shauno | anyway, I should go hop in the shower quick so I don't offend anyone at work | 04:19 |
| shauno | (well, not unintentionally anyway) | 04:19 |
| daftykins | non-verbally ;) | 04:19 |
| shauno | I got told off last week, for calling my manager "you know, the wee man that sits in the corner" | 04:20 |
| daftykins | hrmm that seems a mild one! | 04:22 |
| shauno | I wasn't actually trying to annoy. I am genuinely hopeless with names | 04:30 |
| shauno | I have more than once got in a taxi, stone cold sober, and realised I can't remember the name of my street. | 04:30 |
| shauno | I've also called my gf "thingie" in conversation with her fmaily :/ | 04:31 |
| diddledan | lol | 04:32 |
| diddledan | I'll bet they loved that | 04:32 |
| shauno | her bother picks up on it, but most of them have next to no english, so I get a pass on a lot of things | 04:32 |
| diddledan | \o/ | 04:32 |
| shauno | although he has his moments too. he once got the words 'cottage' and 'cabbage' confused, and gave me the most perplexing set of directions to a mountain cabbage | 04:33 |
| shauno | we didn't have the heart to tell him | 04:33 |
| daftykins | :D | 04:36 |
| daftykins | and the meal was great? | 04:36 |
| shauno | it was. funny enough I had cabbage soup. because it was the only word on the menu I recognised. | 04:37 |
| shauno | kapustnica :) | 04:37 |
| diddledan | yey for slowotsits | 04:38 |
| shauno | I know beer, potato, cabbage, cabbage soup, ladybird, and station. | 04:38 |
| diddledan | silly russian derivative! | 04:38 |
| shauno | pretty much any other word I try to learn leaves my head rather quickly | 04:38 |
| shauno | oh, and brewery. pivovar. | 04:39 |
| shauno | oh, and my favourite "translation" ever. hamandex. | 04:40 |
| shauno | the word for ham is not 'ham'. the word for eggs is not 'ex'. but when their powers combine, they become hamandex. | 04:40 |
| daftykins | XD | 04:51 |
| diddledan | m00 | 05:16 |
| daftykins | i should not be here. | 05:19 |
| diddledan | yeah, might be time for a snooze | 05:20 |
| mapp | this mr robot sems ok:D | 05:39 |
| mapp | seems | 05:39 |
| daftykins | ah a wild mapp | 05:43 |
| daftykins | mapp: setup a digitalocean VPS in London and config'd OpenVPN, got it going from PC + phone | 05:43 |
| daftykins | you can put all the files into a single .ovpn file which is nice | 05:43 |
| mapp | yep | 05:44 |
| mapp | got mine in an ovpn file;D | 05:44 |
| daftykins | ^_^ | 05:44 |
| mapp | you using inline certs then? | 05:44 |
| daftykins | well i gen'd the files with easy-rsa then pasted their content into xml tags at the end of a sample client file | 05:44 |
| mapp | ah | 05:44 |
| mapp | you checked this mr robot? | 05:45 |
| daftykins | don't know what that is | 05:45 |
| mapp | http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4158110/ | 05:45 |
| mapp | chck it | 05:45 |
| daftykins | oh that, thought it was a film for some reason the other day | 05:46 |
| daftykins | i think i have it in a list of IMDb things to check out | 05:47 |
| mapp | ;] | 05:47 |
| === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte | ||
| daftykins | alright, £132 blown on bike parts, time to sleep! | 06:36 |
| shauno | night! | 06:40 |
| brobostigon | morning boys and girls. | 09:25 |
| MooDoo | morning | 09:38 |
| brobostigon | morning MooDoo | 09:39 |
| popey | O_O | 09:57 |
| brobostigon | woop, we get a break from the tennis on the bbc today, :) | 10:04 |
| MartijnVdS | brobostigon: you get cycling on ITV instead xD | 10:04 |
| brobostigon | alittle anyway. | 10:04 |
| MartijnVdS | they're starting from half an hour away | 10:04 |
| brobostigon | MartijnVdS: and F1. | 10:04 |
| brobostigon | silverstone is just down the road from me. | 10:05 |
| bigcalm | directhex: you about? | 10:29 |
| directhex | maybe | 10:29 |
| bigcalm | Looking to upgrade the gfx card in my system. Currently it's a GeForce GTX 660 OEM. Been a long time since I've looked at cards, so don't know what to check | 10:30 |
| bigcalm | The system is an Alienware X51, so very limited on space. Replacing the card with one that takes the same space would be ideal | 10:31 |
| bigcalm | Do you have any suggestions? | 10:31 |
| === zmoylan-1i is now known as zmoylan-pi | ||
| bigcalm | Huh, just seen that the gtx 660 isn't exactly a cheap card to begin with. | 10:33 |
| bigcalm | Maybe http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nvidia-GeForce-Graphics-GDDR5-PCI-Express/dp/B00ICUGOP0 will do | 10:35 |
| directhex | bigcalm: let me check the length on the stock 660 | 10:36 |
| directhex | looks like you havr around 240mm to play with | 10:37 |
| popey | oooh | 10:37 |
| directhex | bigcalm: seems you have space for a 960 or 970. | 10:38 |
| bigcalm | I've just ordered a 16gb kit from crucial. Will see if I still want to replace the gfx card later | 10:38 |
| directhex | but not the stock 970, only a couple of vendor-cooler models | 10:38 |
| bigcalm | Crikey | 10:39 |
| directhex | http://www.gigabyte.eu/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5252#ov or https://www.asus.com/uk/Graphics_Cards/GTX970DCMOC4GD5/ or http://www.galax.net/US/970oc.html will deffo fit | 10:40 |
| directhex | and any 960 | 10:40 |
| bigcalm | I'm going to crack the case to see what's actually available | 10:42 |
| bigcalm | directhex: thanks. Good to know that there are options | 10:43 |
| directhex | pcpartpicker's filter includes length as a parameter | 10:44 |
| popey | that 750 looks neato | 10:49 |
| popey | better than my 460 | 10:49 |
| * bigcalm returns | 10:53 | |
| bigcalm | Yeah, no more room to play with | 10:53 |
| bigcalm | That card is big and the case is compact | 10:53 |
| directhex | those 3 cards are MUCH smaller than your existing one | 10:55 |
| bigcalm | I see | 10:55 |
| bigcalm | https://www.dropbox.com/sc/t4d2e21rsi6ifuc/AACf7V7JzqmInrt8dPqWEtE_a | 10:58 |
| bigcalm | So I guess they will fit into the caddy | 11:00 |
| bigcalm | directhex: do you rate any manufacturer over others? I keep seeing you rant on twitter ;) | 11:01 |
| directhex | hm, i wonder if *height* is an issue with that caddy | 11:02 |
| bigcalm | The cards can't take more than 2 slots worth of space... | 11:02 |
| directhex | that's width :p | 11:03 |
| bigcalm | Humm | 11:03 |
| bigcalm | Okay | 11:03 |
| directhex | you're gonna have to get out a tapemeasure | 11:04 |
| bigcalm | But I just put the machine back together </grumble> | 11:04 |
| bigcalm | Those two leads marked 1 and 2. Are they extra power that the pci-e slot can't deliver or just to drive the fans? | 11:05 |
| penguin42 | heck, that card is bigger than some computers | 11:05 |
| directhex | bigcalm: the former | 11:08 |
| bigcalm | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0f6U7bQgx4 | 11:08 |
| * bigcalm sticks with the fitted card | 11:08 | |
| bigcalm | Doubling my ram is a good step forwards | 11:09 |
| bigcalm | Fitting a 970 SC into an X51 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVi9puLG00A | 11:12 |
| bigcalm | And with that, time for breakfast | 11:19 |
| popey | oh man, sam is now super happy, just shared my steam library with him via home sharing | 11:22 |
| bigcalm | Can you stop him streaming gta v? | 11:23 |
| popey | its not streaming, it's actually playing locally | 11:36 |
| popey | but I dunno, probably. | 11:36 |
| popey | it's a windows box with multiple logins, logged in as him and set him up his own steam account | 11:36 |
| popey | as soon as he started steam it found the local games and if he tries to start them it offers to request access from me | 11:36 |
| popey | i get an email and approved, job done | 11:36 |
| bigcalm | Cool | 11:37 |
| popey | yeah, it's nicely done | 11:37 |
| bigcalm | I now have gigabit lan over power, so my eventual steam link box should be a happy experience | 11:37 |
| popey | nice! | 11:39 |
| popey | I quite fancy a steam box under the telly, steam link would probably be enough if the windows box is powered on | 11:39 |
| MartijnVdS | my laptop is "Agent collctn; in transt to UPS facility" | 11:40 |
| MartijnVdS | \o/ | 11:40 |
| bigcalm | popey: On directhex's pimping, I went for the box from Game which includes the steam controller: http://www.game.co.uk/en/steam-link-with-steam-controller-and-20-steam-wallet-top-up-bundle-only-at-game-658623 | 11:41 |
| popey | cheaper on steam itself | 11:51 |
| popey | http://store.steampowered.com/bundle/23/ | 11:52 |
| knightwise | ²its too hard to think today | 11:58 |
| knightwise | too hot | 11:58 |
| bigcalm | popey: same price in essanse. The Game one includes 20 quid of steam credit | 12:03 |
| bigcalm | Time to reboot to GameOS and continue to level up in GTA V | 12:12 |
| bigcalm | The online races are really fun | 12:12 |
| popey | bigcalm: i lost everything when i re-installed my windows box, so my GTA5 progress is all back to start | 13:31 |
| popey | I thought steam would save all that :( | 13:31 |
| m0nkey_ | popey, only if the game supports the steam cloud, which gta5 doesn't afaik | 13:32 |
| popey | :( | 13:33 |
| popey | kinda annoyed at that | 13:33 |
| directhex | popey: valve charge £7 per item for delivery | 13:35 |
| popey | ah | 13:35 |
| directhex | popey: so it's £94 for link & controller from valve, £100 for link & controller & £20 of steam wallet credit from game | 13:36 |
| m0nkey_ | how much?! | 13:37 |
