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