[03:03] <diddledan> doobleydo
[03:30] <daftykins> harro thar
[03:31] <daftykins> i'm watching Inderpendence Day
[03:31] <diddledan> the movie?
[03:31] <nigelb> I like some of it. But hate the tech talk.
[03:32] <nigelb> We still can't run windows apps reliably on linux, but we can write code to give a virus to alien spaceships.
[03:32] <daftykins> diddledan: yep!
[03:32] <daftykins> nigelb: indeed, on a fugging Mac, too
[03:32] <diddledan> "send out a signal to bring their shields down"
[03:32] <daftykins> it's just convenient that the aliens are sponsored by intel and run x86
[03:33] <nigelb> lol
[03:33] <diddledan> it's pretty amazing they use the same display tech too
[03:33] <nigelb> and why would you have a server -> client model for your attack ships
[03:33] <diddledan> i.e. that an earth virus can display a skull and cross bones and even emit sound
[03:34] <nigelb> there can be no sane reason for it.
[03:35] <diddledan> well that would be so they can update mission objectives for their fighters when they're on a long bombing raid over iraq
[03:35] <diddledan> I might have mixed a few metaphors there methinks
[03:37] <diddledan> "what is a metaphor?" .. "it's for metting with"
[03:44] <daftykins> clearly they supported MIDI
[03:48] <diddledan> I wonder what MIDI sound font they'd be using?
[03:49] <diddledan> that's a bit of an odd description "a cross-platform telephony platform" <-- if it's a "platform" how can it be "cross-platform"?
[03:49] <daftykins> ooh that's talk far beyond me
[03:50] <diddledan> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SoundFont
[04:57] <mapps> hi all
[04:58] <diddledan> ello mapps

[05:05] <diddledan> not yet
[05:08] <shauno> I wasn't so impressed with chappie :/
[05:08] <diddledan> allo shauno
[05:08] <shauno> evening
[05:19] <mapps> just moing them to my pi diddledan
[05:19] <mapps> gahh im so freaking hot again my rooms like a sauna
[05:20] <diddledan> mmm, pi
[05:35] <mapps> um
[05:35] <mapps> http://178.208.192.2/temp/

[05:35] <mapps> thats my ip you can whois me and s;]
[05:36] <mapps> see
[05:36] <diddledan> danke
[05:47] <mapps> chappie was good
[05:48] <diddledan> ok, I've got them down - you can take the page offline :-)
[05:48] <mapps> :D
[05:49] <diddledan> thank you
[05:49] <mapps> what speed did you get? dunno what my max up is
[05:49] <mapps> down is 100
[05:49] <mapps> np
[05:49] <mapps> ;D
[05:49] <diddledan> I wasn't watching the speed :-p
[05:49] <diddledan> I just spotted they're done
[05:49] <mapps> ;]
[06:34] <knightwise> hmm
[06:35] <knightwise> playing around with Cortex (command line reddit browser)
[06:35] <knightwise> having a hard time getting it to open things in links
[08:07] <MartijnVdS> I shouldn't have thrown out my last PS2 keyboard...
[08:07] <MartijnVdS> I'm reviving an old machine and I can't get to its BIOS because "USB Legacy" support is off
[08:07] <diddledan> oops
[08:08] <diddledan> I'm struggling to get windows10 to connect to my freenas box :-(
[08:08] <MartijnVdS> diddledan: Apparently, I was smart enough to leave "USB CD boot" on, and before "internal HDD"
[08:08] <MartijnVdS> so I can boot some rescue image
[08:08] <MartijnVdS> diddledan: what's the problem?
[08:09] <MartijnVdS> diddledan: does Windows 10 see the network as "private" or "public"? Because if it's public -- it firewalls Samba ports
[08:10] <diddledan> first: the box isn't showing up in windows' network devices list, and second: manually typing //freenas/share or //ip.add.re.ss/share or both without /share gives me a nice unhelpful dialog with a pull-down for extra information that reveals an error of "0x80004005 - unspecified error"
[08:11] <diddledan> it's windows, so I actually used \s instead of the /s I wrote above
[08:13] <diddledan> https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=847812CA14CFDA17!353217&authkey=!AC9rWYmUipeehZI&v=3&ithint=photo%2cpng
[08:13] <diddledan> that's a screenie of said window
[08:15] <MartijnVdS> *checks*
[08:15] <diddledan> it's purely a windows10 issue
[08:15] <diddledan> it seems
[08:15] <MartijnVdS> diddledan: if you right click the network icon and go to the "network and sharing centre"
[08:16] <diddledan> yup
[08:17] <MartijnVdS> diddledan: then click on the "link" to the network settings, on the right side of the break ("Ethernet" it's called for me)
[08:17] <MartijnVdS> oh wait
[08:17] <diddledan> yup
[08:18] <MartijnVdS> on the left it says "Network", and underneath "Public network" or "Private network"
[08:18] <diddledan> yeah it's a private network
[08:19] <MartijnVdS> "it means access denied/insufficient rights/wrong permissions"
[08:19] <MartijnVdS> diddledan: what's the samba version on the server?
[08:19] <MartijnVdS> does it support all the latest protocol versions?
[08:20] <MartijnVdS> SMB2/SMB3
[08:20] <MartijnVdS> automatic encryption settings
[08:20] <diddledan> well it's something specific to win10 - my win8.1 is seeing it (and other systems that 10 is also unable to see) fine
[08:21] <MartijnVdS> diddledan: windows 10 may have disabled support for the older protocols by default
[08:21] <MartijnVdS> diddledan: for security raisins
[08:21] <diddledan> mm raisins
[08:21] <MartijnVdS> diddledan: anyway, https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba3/SMB2
[09:18] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[09:21] <diddledan> allo brobostigon
[09:22] <brobostigon> hi diddledan
[09:47] <diddledan> lol @ #ubuntu "if that doesn't work, get a new computer"
[09:58] <zmoylan-pi> well after a certain amount of effort, any more attempts can be a waste of time...
[11:05] <SuperEngineer> psst... 10 minutes until BBC pre-F1 coverage, followed by, errr... Bristish Brand Prix!  :)
[11:07] <SuperEngineer> [sub a G for that P] doh!
[11:07] <SuperEngineer> B!
[11:13] <HandlesAye> Just in a working mens club ... Could they ever sort this out ? http://ow.ly/Pc0f8
[11:13] <HandlesAye> internets going out at times.
[11:13] <HandlesAye> leaves.
[12:18] <Azelphur> Anyone happen to know how to resolve this issue? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1602120 I get it from time to time, really annoying
[12:19] <MartijnVdS> Azelphur: what kind of graphics chip do you have? and which driver?
[12:19] <Azelphur> MartijnVdS: GTX 980, 349.16
[12:20] <MartijnVdS> ah.. nvidia
[12:20] <MartijnVdS> I heard they're bad at linux :P
[12:21] <Azelphur> sadly better than anything else out there when it comes to gaming
[12:23] <penguin42> MartijnVdS: With Nvidia the normal courses are 1) Try the opposite of nouveau (open) or closed driver to theone you're using  2) If you're using the closed driver try a different version of it  3) swear
[12:23] <zmoylan-pi> 4) goto 1
[12:24] <MartijnVdS> Azelphur: the high end amd cards seem to be okish?
[12:24] <Azelphur> MartijnVdS: fglrx is worse than nvidia last I checked
[12:25] <MartijnVdS> Azelphur: don't they have a free driver now?
[12:26] <Azelphur> MartijnVdS: the open source driver is painfully slow and unoptimised with masses of missing features, it isn't suitable for gaming last I checked.
[12:26] <Azelphur> I wish it was, that'd be awesome, but sadly no
[12:26]  * penguin42 thinks it got a bit closer but then they bought out a new range of chips
[12:29] <MartijnVdS> Azelphur: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=AMD-AMDGPU-Released
[12:30] <Azelphur> heh, as I say be interesting how it performs
[12:30] <Azelphur> also this new AMDGPU driver confuses me, is it proprietary or nto?
[12:31] <langlee>  /server irc.UK-IRC.net
[12:31] <penguin42> Azelphur: Looks open
[12:31] <Azelphur> and gah, guess I'm gonna restart X to get rid of this annoying menu box, brb :)
[12:32] <MartijnVdS> Azelphur: the kernel part isn't, but the X driver can be
[16:44]  * foobarry spies a hudl update
[16:44] <foobarry> still android 4.4.2 though
[17:08] <DJones> foobarry: Do you expect anything else from Tesco, nicelecy priced devices that are as good as the N7, just crippled with MyTesco app and non-existant support from tesco
[17:12] <foobarry> yes, i didn't expect bigfix updates DJones :D
[17:12] <foobarry> bugfix*
[17:51] <penguin42> popey: Was your dead drive a WD Red?
[17:51] <popey> well, it seems less dead
[17:51] <popey> may have been dodgy cable
[17:52] <penguin42> hmm
[19:18] <MooDoo> evening all
[19:21] <popey> yo
[19:31] <MartijnVdS> yoyo
[19:37] <mapps> hi
[19:37] <mapps> so hot today
[19:37] <mapps> 29c
[19:37] <mapps> O_o
[19:37] <mapps> melting in my room
[19:38] <penguin42> cooled off here
[19:39] <mapps> ;]
[19:39] <mapps> 37c in madrid
[19:39] <mapps> wow
[19:39] <mapps> ive never acually been out in 31+
[19:41] <penguin42> it claimed to have hit 32c here I think Tuesday last week, that was pretty heavy; we're not used to hot
[19:44] <mapps> 29 was ok if youre by the sea
[19:44] <mapps> nice breeze
[19:47] <penguin42> Google Maps now has a 'light' mode it's suggested I switch to - I can't see the difference except it's faster
[19:49] <firstofficer> test
[19:49] <penguin42> failed
[19:49] <mapps> web or on phones?
[19:49] <penguin42> mapps: Web, on desktop
[19:49] <mapps> i like how maps pulls data doe live traffic and public transoort routes
[19:49] <mapps> best maps out there imo
[19:50] <penguin42> mapps: Yes, although it's got slower and buggier over the years; it's search is excellent, and it's route search is pretty good
[19:56] <mapps> it works brilliant abroad
[19:56] <mapps> public transpor worked in holland germany and czech
[19:57] <penguin42> mapps: Well, that's why I said pretty - I did get a bit lost on my way to the Airport in Dusseldorf
[19:57] <penguin42> walking instructions are great, trams etc - hmm maybe
[20:40] <shauno> hm, new horizons going into safe mode is a bit of a bummer
[20:53] <diddledan> shauno: ?
[20:53] <diddledan> shauno: they're running windows on it? :-p
[20:53] <shauno> that was actually my first thought
[20:53] <shauno> a mental picture of it flying past pluto with a screen reading "please wait while windows configures updates"
[20:54] <diddledan> lol
[20:54] <shauno> http://www.nasa.gov/nh/new-horizons-responds-spacecraft-anomaly
[20:54] <shauno> and http://www.planetary.org/blogs/emily-lakdawalla/2015/07042044-new-horizons-enters-safe-mode.html
[20:54] <shauno> data just started a minute ago though, so something might actually be happening
[20:56] <diddledan> oh dear
[21:01] <diddledan> as far as I am aware they were planning on uploading new programming sometime after last wednesday before the final approach to tell it what it should be doing sciency. I wonder if they glitched in that process?
[21:04] <diddledan> idiot tory: http://uk.businessinsider.com/david-cameron-encryption-back-doors-iphone-whatsapp-2015-7?r=US
[21:07] <shauno> I think it's great :)
[21:09] <shauno> being that I'm not subject to british law and all.  for me it's just a great advertising scheme.
[21:09] <shauno> there's really no better recommendation of encryption software, than having the govt scared of it
[21:25] <mapps> anyone able to help?:|
[21:25] <mapps> my vpn wont work again
[21:25] <mapps> arghh
[21:51] <daftykins> mapps: lol what have you done =|
[21:51] <daftykins> mines working ace ;)
[22:05] <diddledan> wow, my old raid array is connected to a computer running debian sarge (3.1)
[22:06] <diddledan> that was EOL'd in 2008
[22:09] <daftykins> hosted by whom? o0
[22:09] <diddledan> me :-p
[22:09] <daftykins> or this is a box at home? :>
[22:10] <shauno> if this is that tank of a compaq, I'm not sure you'd bother paying to rack that :p
[22:11] <daftykins> unless it were in London Tower to divulge its' secrets
[22:11] <daftykins> TELL ME!
[22:16] <diddledan> I've got a minirack here, and some rails. the minirack isn't deep enough for the rails.
[22:16] <diddledan> I was miffed when I tried putting the bits together
[22:20] <mapps> i borked my gib vpn daftykins
[22:20] <mapps> connected to my surrey vpn at daddys no
[22:20] <mapps> w
[22:20] <mapps> ;D
[22:21] <mapps> not sure why it isnt working reallt
[22:37] <daftykins> diddledan: oops.
[22:37] <daftykins> mapps: what do the logs say? :P
[22:37] <diddledan> looks like this system was last touched in november 2006
[22:37] <diddledan> and it looks like there's very little of interest in terms of files on there
[22:38] <diddledan> :-(
[22:38] <daftykins> d'aww
