mapppshi all04:44
mapppsanyone buy anything on the amazon prime week04:44
zmoylan-pisaw a few people complain they didn't see anything worth buying04:54
mapppsyea i saw some weird stuff04:54
mapppsmy little pony pogo stick or somethin04:54
mapppslol04:54
zmoylan-pihas it reached the pointt that the good stuff is targetted by bots so winners can profit by their resale?  online sales version of ticket scalping04:55
mapppswat do you think of that intel compute ubuntu stick zmoylan-1i ?05:38
=== zmoylan-1i is now known as zmoylan-pi
zmoylan-piit's interesting but it's a lower spec than the windows version.05:53
zmoylan-pii'd rather pay more and get the windows version and install ubuntu onto that05:53
mapppshmm is there any reason that wouldnt be possible05:53
mapppsand why do lower spec > just because it can because ubuntu requirs less than win?05:54

davmor2MooDoo, diddledan: Pink Floyd Another brick in the wall part II this morning :)08:30
MooDoonice08:32
davmor2MooDoo: it'll be the collecting the Step Son from the hospital 7 hour trip yesterday that triggered that at a guess :)08:33
MooDooouch lol08:35
MooDoohope he's ok08:35
JamesTaitGood morning all; happy Corn Fritters Day! 😃08:40

foobarrydavmor2: i know the feeling. had 6hr trip from 12-6am08:43
foobarryon tuesd/wed08:43
brobostigonmorning boys and girls.08:44
davmor2foobarry: this was just collecting him, We were told he would be ready to leave at 12:00, So left at 11 got there at 12:15 Expecting to collect him and go, no they meant he would be leaving the ward and heading down to the departures room to wait on the pharmacy08:45
TwistedLuciditydavmor2: Was it your goodself extoling the virtues of byobu recently?09:15
davmor2TwistedLucidity: most likely09:16
TwistedLucidityBecause I have now tried it and, now understand what it is.09:16
TwistedLucidityNot to belittle it but "Tmux made sane" would be a good summary. It's really neat.09:16
davmor2TwistedLucidity: and now you too can't live without it ;)  I think there is one gotcha to look out for which is I don't think it handles nested well, the controls only ever work on the outer shell I think.  There might be a fix for that or a way to switch from one to the other not sure :)09:19
TwistedLuciditydavmor2: I'll be demoing it tonight and other multiplexers. Shall see what the troops think.09:19
davmor2\o/09:20
TwistedLucidityQuite liking dvtm+dtach too.09:20
davmor2TwistedLucidity: the nice thing that dick_turpin discovered, is even if you're server doesn't auto start byobu for you, you don't have to remember some made reattach command, you just start byobu again and there it all is :)09:22
TwistedLucidityYeah. "dtach -A /tmp/username -r winch dvtm" doesn't roll of they keys, does it?09:22
TwistedLucidityAlthough the likes of "screen" do let you run multiple sessions. Although that seems to forget layout when you detach, which is weird.09:23
zmoylan-pii just have a script that has reattach line for tmux in it.  so 2 letter name of that script instead of full reattach line09:41
TwistedLucidityYeah. I have something similar for mRemoteNG on Windows when I want to escape to reality.09:52
diploOnly issue I have with byobu is connecting via Putty, scrolls, only fix that I found last time was changing from tmux to screen but that causes its own issues10:17
davmor2diplo: there is a scroll mode, but I've not had issues scrolling on my server running byobu10:19
davmor2diplo: F7 and then alt+pgup/pgdown10:22
diplodavmor2: Don't mean like scrolling the page10:23
diploThe bottom status bar just scrolls up forever in putty10:23
davmor2diplo: oh right okay10:24
diplohttp://stackoverflow.com/questions/10731099/byobu-hard-status-line-scrolls-the-screen-when-updating10:24
diploAh seems an answer that that I haven't tried :)10:25
davmor2diplo: oh good let me know if it works would be interested even though I don't need putty fortunately10:26
diployah it does :)10:26
diplowoohoo10:26
davmor2diplo: also in windows 10 powershell and ssh it's almost like they are catching up with Linux ;)10:26
diploSo in putty its set to latin1 by default it seems10:26
diplochanging to utf8 fixes it10:26
diploOn putty here ( use it from my ubuntu box normally )10:27
davmor2diplo: weirdo ;)10:27
diploYeah, used to use PS a lot in my last job, may have to play again10:27
davmor2diplo: up vote it quick :)10:27
diploI've not got a user on there, although I use it all the time10:28
diploGuess I should sign up :)10:28
diploAnd done!10:30
bigcalmdavmor2: just had a call from Amo. I've only just realised what a strong Wolverhampton accent he has10:39
davmor2bigcalm: Ahhhhhh that's racist ;) No it's true he is true a son of Wolverhampton :)10:41
bigcalmHe misses you10:43
davmor2bigcalm: I should be at the next meeting10:44

intrbizgoing well, essentially gotta rebuild all the PostgreSQL servers, so they are done propperly10:52
* bigcalm shudders10:54
awilkinsCan you not get a nice Docker container of PostgreSQL10:56
awilkinsIsn't EVERYTHING docker containers these days ;-)10:57
davmor2bigcalm: that means intrbiz was in a beer tent with planes right?10:58
davmor2bigcalm: actually it was Yeovil so more like Cider tent10:58
intrbizI did have some rather morish cider, but was too busy watching planes to drink much11:06
intrbizawilkins: its more about tuning for scale11:06
davmor2bigcalm: see I know intrbiz too ;)  intrbiz glad to hear you had a good time, did you take photos?11:06
intrbiza couple, only with the phone, so not very good: https://twitter.com/intrbiz/status/62068504382083072411:09
knightworkhowdy peeps11:38
awilkinsGnnnnngh. My Windows VM decided to do a windows update in the middle of a webconference. And then reboot, interrupting the conference.12:05
zmoylan-piit was for the best, ms decreed it12:06
awilkinsThe resulting terrible performance was all the result of Windows, and the takehome message that my senior colleague gets from this..... "You should stop running Windows in a VM before someone raises it as an issue"12:07
foobarryi disabled windows from doing this kind of thing for my vsphere OS install12:50
foobarryintrbiz: bit jealous12:50
foobarryair shows are great. especially ones with spitfires12:51
zmoylan-pinowt like the sound of a merlin overhead...12:52
foobarryor 412:55
zmoylan-pioooh, a lanc?12:55
foobarryabout to root my hudl to get rid of the startup chime12:55
foobarryi saw the BoB flyover from my office roof last week12:56
foobarryquite a few in that one12:56
zmoylan-pion my android tablets i found turning the sound down to zero at home screen affected the bootup noise12:56
foobarrynot on the hudl12:56
zmoylan-pithat's annoying12:56
foobarrytheir loss12:56
zmoylan-pii can't abide bings and bongs on startup12:56
foobarrybecause after root i will do other things, but this is the catalyst12:56
foobarrynor can my wife if i can't sleep and want to read12:57
foobarryin the middle of night12:57
foobarryor i'm in a meeting12:57
foobarryjust had a great post-lunch nap. on with my day!12:57
zmoylan-pii use my phone for ereader.  it's a nokia and i don't have to think about it's battery life12:57
zmoylan-piand if i fall asleep reading it'll bounce with no damage12:59
intrbizzmoylan-pi: the lanc is currently grounded due to engine fire13:50
intrbizI did see the only two lancs in the world together last year at cosford, the other one having come over from canada13:51

davmor242 I think you'll find is the right answer nigelb15:27
nigelbdavmor2: :)15:27
nigelbdavmor2: A few off-by-one errors is all.15:27
foobarrypopey: hudl2 rooting is now very easy and loses no data15:27
davmor2foobarry: but why do it ;)15:28
foobarryto get rid of the startup BONGGGG15:28
foobarrythat annoys sleeping wives and people in meetings15:29
foobarrythat is non mutable15:29

foobarrynice otherwise though15:37
foobarrystupid intel chips15:37
diddledanI think that mobo might be dead16:42
diddledanseveral hdds have now not worked properly on it - in various sata ports. now it's not even initialising a usb thumbdrive16:43
diddledanproblem is I want data off the drive in there16:43
diddledanannoyingly, too, I wanted to archive a load of 5.25" floppies and that mobo is the only one I have which has an fdd16:45
diddledancontroller.16:45
knightwisevictorp: victor  ? you in ?17:09
victorpknightwise, I think you might have the wrong victor17:09
diddledanallo knightwise17:18
SuperEngineerhmmm... am I hoping for too much connecting my android phone to ubuntu pc & transfer files?18:15
zmoylan-pitransferring files on and off android is a chore18:16
zmoylan-piwas easier in earlier versions of android when it appeared as a usb drive.  now it's mtp which sometimes is wonky18:16
zmoylan-pior goes slow, or doesn't want to work on days with a y in it18:17
DJonesSuperEngineer: Install airdroid on your android device, connect via a web browser, job done18:18
DJonesConnects over wifi18:18
DJonesBest method I've found18:19
SuperEngineerDJones, via a web browser????18:20
DJonesYep, once installed on android device, and started, it gives you a htttp address, just plug that into a computers web browsers and it works like a file manager18:20
zmoylan-piand *THAT'S* considered easy...18:21
DJoneszmoylan-pi: Can't get much easier, click one button on android device, put one http address into a browser, can't get much easier than that18:22
DJonesSuperEngineer: https://www.airdroid.com/18:23
zmoylan-pifile size limitation on free plan... 100mb18:26
zmoylan-pior is that the premium...18:26
DJonesI've never found any file size limits18:27
SuperEngineerDJones, oh bugger... freememory too small for it! /me now annoyed... but thanks :)18:28
zmoylan-pihttps://www.airdroid.com/en/pay/ 'Transfer larger files by remote transfer, 1GB with Windows & Mac, and 100MB with Web.'18:28
SuperEngineerDJones, [but gonna try anyway!! ... it's installed!!! double thanks!!!18:30
DJoneszmoylan-pi: "Transfer larger files by _remote_ _transfer_" I just use local transfer over a home wifi network, nothing remote is involved18:31
DJoneszmoylan-pi: Just testing, its go no issue with me trying to copy a 2Gb file across my own wifi network toa tablet18:35
SuperEngineerAirdroid now removed. nthink I'll stick to SDcard transfer - thanks again though18:39
zmoylan-pifair enough, i may give it a shot next time mtp decides to be a nuisance18:47
diddledangood ol' phil: http://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/hes-done-it-again-prince-philip-makes-yet-another-public-gaffe/ar-AAd2FON?ocid=iehp18:50
zmoylan-piwell if anyone knows about sponging...18:56
diddledanzmoylan-pi: he prolly has a spongebath every night?19:02
