| JamesTait | Good morning all; happy Friday, and happy Yellow Pig Day! 😃 | 08:38 |
| knightwork | Yo peeps | 08:42 |
| popey | foobarry: how? | 08:51 |
| brobostigon | morning boys and girls. | 09:11 |
| * knightwork waves at brobostigon | 09:12 | |
| * brobostigon waves back at knightwork | 09:12 | |
| * zmoylan-pi starts mexican wave with self.... holds fan to get breeze going... | 09:13 | |
| knightwork | hmmm :) Weekend project : http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/turn-raspberry-pi-network-monitoring-tool/ | 09:15 |
| knightwork | wife complained that our sonos cuts out from time to time .. going to monitor it | 09:17 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: what is today I only just got my server back so missed it :) | 09:48 |
| TwistedLucidity | davmor2: Yesterday's demo went well. People really liked byobu. | 09:54 |
| davmor2 | TwistedLucidity: \o/ | 09:55 |
| TwistedLucidity | Although we did manage to break it | 09:55 |
| davmor2 | TwistedLucidity: haha sounds about right file a bug :) | 09:55 |
| TwistedLucidity | Well, one person did. They managed to spawn multiple tmux sessions and got everything into a bit of a fankle. | 09:55 |
| TwistedLucidity | Yeah, if I can reliably recreate it, I will. | 09:56 |
| davmor2 | TwistedLucidity: if you have raid anywhere did you know it can monitor it on byobu too? | 09:56 |
| davmor2 | TwistedLucidity: there is a huge array of things you can do on that bottom bar that most people don't know about :) | 09:56 |
| TwistedLucidity | Oh, neat. Did not know that. All I was really doing was a run through of screen, tmux, byobu and dvtm+dtach | 09:57 |
| davmor2 | TwistedLucidity: :) | 09:57 |
| davmor2 | TwistedLucidity: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/vivid/man1/byobu.1.html | 09:58 |
| TwistedLucidity | davmor2: Why do I need man pages when I have you? :-P | 09:58 |
| davmor2 | TwistedLucidity: because that gives all the plugins :) | 09:59 |
| foobarry | popey: post #631 in a massive thread of course ;) http://www.modaco.com/topic/373642-how-to-root-your-hudl-2/?p=2258980 | 10:06 |
| foobarry | windows only though. which sucks | 10:09 |
| JamesTait | davmor2, today is Yellow Pig Day. Something to do with mathemeticians and the number 17, apparently. | 10:11 |
| brobostigon | thats the handy thing about newer version of CM, you have a switch in dev options, and your can turn off/on app/adb rooting/unrooting at will. | 10:11 |
| foobarry | supersu does that too | 10:12 |
| popey | foobarry: haha. that original useless thread | 10:12 |
| brobostigon | foobarry: certainly. | 10:12 |
| foobarry | if i want to watch 4od i have to turn off root with supersu | 10:12 |
| brobostigon | yep. | 10:13 |
| foobarry | popey: you mean it started off useless and actually had something useful? | 10:13 |
| foobarry | not sure how it works. usually i lose data when i root | 10:13 |
| foobarry | or unlock bootlader | 10:14 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: Sound more like flying pig day | 10:14 |
| foobarry | not sure i should be watching black hawk down while in bed with a sick bug | 10:17 |
| popey | yes foobarry | 10:19 |
| foobarry | yeah, and the reason that most people are rooting? to disable the loud startup noise. | 10:23 |
| popey | i might pick up a second one for hacking | 10:24 |
| popey | sam uses mine | 10:24 |
| foobarry | now £99 | 10:24 |
| TwistedLucidity | Any discount for clubpoints? | 10:24 |
| foobarry | yesh | 10:24 |
| foobarry | half price ! | 10:24 |
| foobarry | £50 in clubcard vouchies | 10:25 |
| TwistedLucidity | And for that price, is there a better option? Maybe some no-name jobby? | 10:25 |
| foobarry | can't go wrong | 10:25 |
| foobarry | there are 7 inch ones | 10:25 |
| foobarry | and i saw a lenovo 10 inch on amazon sale t'other sale | 10:25 |
| TwistedLucidity | For £50 I guess one can't go wrong. | 10:25 |
| foobarry | apart from the battery life, its great | 10:25 |
| foobarry | even has microsd storage | 10:26 |
| TwistedLucidity | Neat. What is the battery life? | 10:26 |
| foobarry | 4-5 hours. standy/screen off battery life is weak too though | 10:26 |
| TwistedLucidity | Hrm.... | 10:26 |
| popey | hudl2 is way nicer than pretty much any noname | 10:26 |
| foobarry | it won't get an update either | 10:26 |
| popey | i get way more than that | 10:27 |
| foobarry | and occasional intel chip bugs | 10:27 |
| popey | i watched videos for 9 hrs | 10:29 |
| foobarry | witchcraft | 10:30 |
| diddledan | ok, so grub's apt package's postinst on my 15.04 box is hanging. (grub package version 2.02~beta2-22ubuntu1.1) | 10:31 |
| diddledan | specifically grub-efi-amd64 | 10:31 |
| foobarry | ever tried this ipega 9023 controller? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wireless-Bluetooth-Controller-Joystick-Android/dp/B00PJRCANY | 10:31 |
| foobarry | not sure there are enough good games to warrant it (native or emulated) | 10:33 |
| ujjain | aptly is so slow :( | 10:36 |
| popey | wifey is using hudl2 here now to do online shop ready for when we get home :) | 10:36 |
| foobarry | anyone used this greenify app for older tablets? | 10:39 |
| awilkins | Can you root hudl2 yet? | 10:41 |
| * awilkins reads up | 10:41 | |
| awilkins | Intriguing | 10:42 |
| awilkins | Is it nicer than a Nexus 7 when you stick CM on it though | 10:42 |
| foobarry | tldr; yes, easily | 10:42 |
| awilkins | (2012 N7( | 10:42 |
| foobarry | 8.3 inch screen makes a difference for me | 10:42 |
| awilkins | Getting just a little frustrated by the 2012 N7's slow performance | 10:42 |
| foobarry | they all seem to do this | 10:46 |
| foobarry | i wonder if its the storage getting old/slow/bad sectors mapped out | 10:46 |
| awilkins | Friend punted it back to Android 4.4 | 10:47 |
| awilkins | Not sure if that improved it | 10:47 |
| ujjain | how do I get package info about an app not installed? I want to see fmor which repo it comes | 10:49 |
| foobarry | apt-cache policy <package> | 10:49 |
| ujjain | ah perfect, thanks | 10:50 |
| foobarry | np | 10:50 |
| popey | i wound a n7 back to 4.4 and wasnt better | 10:51 |
| popey | its the flash controller in n7 2012 which sucks Aiui | 10:52 |
| awilkins | Feels like RAM being full, but I guess that would feel the same as an IO problem (Because I think of RAM being full because of swapping which is an IO problem) | 10:52 |
| popey | i reflashed my n7 to 5.x | 10:53 |
| popey | but only use iy for one thing at a time | 10:53 |
| popey | *it | 10:53 |
| awilkins | That's the solution I've adopted... switching between tasks is really slow still | 10:54 |
| awilkins | Even if you close one and open another | 10:54 |
| foobarry | i hate the disposable nature of it all | 10:55 |
| foobarry | so much e-waste | 10:55 |
| foobarry | and nobody addresses it because people keep on buying | 10:55 |
| popey | well. not really. we are technically still using them :) | 10:57 |
| popey | i want to pick up a cheap arm chromebook for doing arm builds | 10:58 |
| popey | ebay have them for 40 quid | 10:58 |
| bashrc_ | is cross compiling not good enough? | 10:58 |
| popey | not always | 10:59 |
| awilkins | Was going to suggest a Raspi2 but I guess 40 quid for something with a screen and a keyboard is pretty competitive | 10:59 |
| popey | also fast storage | 10:59 |
| foobarry | popey: which model for 40 quid? | 11:01 |
| popey | hp jobbie | 11:03 |
| popey | dont have link handy | 11:04 |
| popey | they have no charger | 11:04 |
| popey | was outbid on a couple last week | 11:05 |
| foobarry | i probably have enough gear | 11:05 |
| foobarry | google is showing results from evernote now :-| | 11:06 |
| popey | i currently build stuff on my laptop in chroots | 11:06 |
| popey | would rather not build on that machine | 11:07 |
| awilkins | Hrrmph | 11:08 |
| awilkins | Nexus 7 problems : http://appleinsider.com/articles/13/06/18/googles-nexus-7-tablets-dying-early-possibly-due-to-cheap-memory | 11:08 |
| popey | nice | 11:08 |
| awilkins | Apparently kicks in when you fill the RAM up | 11:08 |
| awilkins | And because the software doesn't use TRIM | 11:08 |
| popey | the 2013 is a much nicer device in every way | 11:08 |
| awilkins | Not sure if I've ever filled the RAM close to full | 11:08 |
| awilkins | I have 14GB of free space right now but I do like to load videos onto ti | 11:09 |
| foobarry | awilkins: not just the nexus though | 11:09 |
| foobarry | my hp touchpad and wifes samsung glaaxy tab 10.1 went the same way | 11:09 |
| foobarry | factory reset does not resolve it | 11:09 |
| awilkins | Possibly mucking about with manual erasure of userdata partition will fix it : https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=41061#c40 | 11:11 |
| awilkins | I may try this. But it's annoying because then I'll have to reconfigure everything :-( | 11:12 |
| foobarry | i dont think i can root wifey tab | 11:13 |
| foobarry | "Please note that this will not recover your phone from slowness, but helps keeping it fast when you leave it about one gigabytes free space" | 11:14 |
| foobarry | might wanna explore greenify awilkins | 11:14 |
| bashrc_ | if you can get a recent kernel onto it there is zram | 11:15 |
| foobarry | i have to run fast reboot on my moto g every day too | 11:15 |
| foobarry | 5.0 killed it | 11:15 |
| awilkins | My N4 has loved 5 | 11:20 |
| foobarry | .0 or .1 | 11:24 |
| awilkins | .1.1 | 11:24 |
| foobarry | yeah | 11:27 |
| foobarry | mem leaks in .0 | 11:27 |
| awilkins | Nexus 6 is silly expensive | 11:29 |
| awilkins | Why can't they do another Nexus 4 priced phone... | 11:29 |
| knightwork | the nexus 6 is not worth it | 11:30 |
| awilkins | My only frustration with the 4 now is that using Maps drains the battery faster than it will charge | 11:30 |
| awilkins | And it overheats because they missed out that heat spreader | 11:31 |
| awilkins | If I had to replace my phone today I'd probably get a Moto G 2nd gen | 11:32 |
| knightwork | Oneplus , | 11:32 |
| knightwork | pretty happy with it | 11:32 |
| knightwork | low price , high quality | 11:32 |
| awilkins | One or Two? | 11:32 |
| awilkins | Hmm. I've seen reviews that suggest it has some infuriating issues | 11:33 |
| knightwork | one , | 11:33 |
| awilkins | But £219 for a 64GB maxi-phone-o-tron is pretty good money | 11:34 |
| knightwork | its been working ok , just got jittery once or twice | 11:34 |
| knightwork | i'm running the oneplus os (not cyanogen) | 11:34 |
| knightwork | the oneplus android spin (ice os ? ) | 11:34 |
| awilkins | Isn't it just a forked CM anyway? | 11:34 |
| awilkins | Is it 4.4? | 11:35 |
| awilkins | Specs page says "Cyanogen 11S based on Android 4.4" | 11:35 |
| brobostigon | and if memory serves, there is a cyanogen os, based on cm12.1, i think. | 11:36 |
| knightwork | https://oneplus.net/oxygenos | 11:36 |
| awilkins | Ah, yes, the marketing copy is more up to date than the specs | 11:36 |
| knightwork | OxygenOs is the version i'm running | 11:37 |
| popey | been using my n4 in the car here with offline gmaps for navigation | 11:51 |
| diddledan | ok. with the hyper-v balloon driver on windows 10 TH1 (10240 some dub as RTM) ubuntu 15.04 gets kernel timeouts | 12:12 |
| diddledan | turning off dynamic memory will fix the issue | 12:12 |
| diddledan | specifically highlighted when os-prober tried to modprobe the xfs module | 12:12 |
| diddledan | this is on a hyper-v generation 2 vm (the efi version) | 12:14 |
| foobarry | i read quite a lot, never read kill a mockingbird. not sure why the hype over the follow up | 12:20 |
| popey | it was required reading at wifeys school | 12:21 |
| foobarry | probably in english lit gcse at ours too. | 12:21 |
| foobarry | i hated books i read at school | 12:21 |
| foobarry | even day of triffids until i read it myself | 12:22 |
| foobarry | school had a way of choosing really dull books for syllabus | 12:22 |
| diddledan | I only remember three in specifics. those being "of mice and men", "driving miss daisy" and the staple that is, was, and probably allways will be, "Romeo and Juliet" | 12:29 |
| diddledan | --l | 12:29 |
| foobarry | kes, old man and the sea, other dreary guff | 12:31 |
| foobarry | midsummer nights bore | 12:31 |

| bujji | can any one tell me about logrotate? | 14:11 |
| ball | Is there any advantage to having an Ubuntu desktop PC and an Ubuntu Phone? | 14:38 |
| ball | (do they work well together?) | 14:38 |
| bujji | imagine os in our hand? | 14:41 |
| === BOFH is now known as Guest33080 | ||
| ball | bujji: I'm not sure what that means. | 14:42 |

| zmoylan-pi | what's all this 'ere then | 16:04 |
| ball | Nuffin officer. | 16:18 |
| ball | These 'ere firewalls had 'oles in 'em when I got 'ere. | 16:18 |
| zmoylan-pi | now get 'ome to your mother before i clip your ear you ruffian | 16:20 |
| ball | Mother's inside baggin' the storage array... | 16:20 |
| zmoylan-pi | dibs on the ups | 16:21 |
| ball | In desperation, I've just fired up the corporate computer-based training bilge. | 16:22 |
| ball | Oh joy, this one's about SharePoint. | 16:23 |
| zmoylan-pi | please ensure you are using ie5 | 16:23 |
| * ball grins | 16:24 | |
| zmoylan-pi | i think i know where i have that on 5.25" disks | 16:24 |
| ball | You've just reminded me that the first time I installed Linux it came on a stack of 1200K 5.25" floppies. | 16:24 |
| zmoylan-pi | i used recycled aol floppies | 16:26 |
| daftykins | :D | 16:37 |
| ball | At least it didn't come on a DC600A | 16:48 |
| ryan18456 | I'm having problems trying to install .tar.xz files | 16:50 |
| ryan18456 | & it's the linux kernel | 16:50 |
| ryan18456 | I'm not an Linux person I'm more of a Windows person | 16:50 |
| ball | ryan18456: Are you trying to install a special kernel? | 16:51 |
| daftykins | this is the one that just got banned from #ubuntu for being obnoxious | 16:51 |
| MartijnVdS | ryan18456: a .tar.xz is an archive file, compressed (like zip or rar files) | 16:51 |
| ball | daftykins: Thanks. | 16:51 |
| daftykins | *tips hat* | 16:52 |
| ryan18456 | daftykins: shh & leave me alone, I'm trying to upgrade my linux Kernel here lol | 16:52 |
| ryan18456 | ball: It's the latest up-to-date kernel from here: https://www.kernel.org/ | 16:52 |
| daftykins | i already told you not to speak to people like that. | 16:52 |
| daftykins | why do you want to? | 16:53 |
| daftykins | have you been told by someone that upgrading will make everything better (TM) ? | 16:53 |
| ryan18456 | MartijnVdS: OK, any suggestions for me to install it or no? | 16:53 |
| MartijnVdS | ryan18456: you don't "install" those files, you extract them. But I agree with daftykins -- kernels aren't magic: what is the problem you're trying to solve? | 16:54 |
| ryan18456 | MartijnVdS: Updating my kernel duh? | 16:54 |
| daftykins | you have to understand that newer kernels are not like keeping a smartphone or Windows PC 'patched', you're just going to complicate matters. | 16:54 |
| daftykins | yep there's more of that rude attitude. | 16:54 |
| ryan18456 | Anyways | 16:55 |
| ryan18456 | Any idea's or not? | 16:55 |
| MartijnVdS | ryan18456: lots of ideas, but no idea why you'd want to do what you're trying to do | 16:55 |
| ryan18456 | MartijnVdS: OMFG install the kernel! | 16:56 |
| MartijnVdS | ryan18456: that's that what. I'm asking for the why. | 16:56 |
| daftykins | ryan18456: you have to justify it to get help essentially, as once a newer kernel is on it's not ubuntu anymore - which means you can't really ask for help in here. | 16:56 |
| * daftykins silences his teenager alarm | 16:56 | |
| MartijnVdS | daftykins: that or the helpdesk proxy... | 16:56 |
| ryan18456 | MartijnVdS: because I want to, it's my PC lol | 16:56 |
| MartijnVdS | ryan18456: you don't need to. Even though it's your PC | 16:57 |
| daftykins | :) | 16:57 |
| ryan18456 | MartijnVdS: yes I do | 16:57 |
| daftykins | you're not going to get very far in life hiding your intentions :) | 16:57 |
| ryan18456 | daftykins: and your German ;) no wonder you lost 2 world wars ;) | 16:58 |
| zmoylan-pi | who runs eu now? :-) | 16:58 |
| zmoylan-pi | masterblaster^Wmerkel | 16:58 |
| daftykins | ryan18456: being connected to the kornbluth server hosted in Germany does not make me a German person - but i'd suggest you stop trying to be bias about where people come from | 16:58 |
| * ball waits patiently for ryan18456 to get himself kicked. | 16:59 | |
| ryan18456 | daftykins: Yawn! :D | 16:59 |
| daftykins | yes my sentiments exactly. | 16:59 |
| ryan18456 | None of you are goingto him | 16:59 |
| daftykins | ryan18456: your childish attitude is why you will not get any effective help in these channels, wise up in future or you'll never get anywhere. | 16:59 |
| ryan18456 | daftykins: Shut up you nob and go play with your kid toys and Rubbish and worst techincal support I've ever had in mylife | 17:00 |

| bujji | hello | 17:33 |
| KrimZon | hi | 17:33 |
| bujji | can any one tell me logrotate | 17:33 |
| KrimZon | what about logrotate? | 17:34 |
| bujji | that is i am asking | 17:34 |
| KrimZon | suppose you have /var/log/apache2/error.log | 17:36 |
| bujji | okey | 17:36 |
| bujji | i assume that catalina.out ) | 17:37 |
| KrimZon | logrotate can be configured so that you end up with todays errors in error.log, yesterdays logs in error.log.1, the day before in error.log.2 | 17:37 |
| KrimZon | plus various other things like backing up old logs or just deleting them | 17:37 |
| KrimZon | so that the drive doesn't fill up with logs | 17:37 |
| bujji | how i can use that with your example like.. | 17:38 |
| bujji | error.log | 17:38 |
| bujji | error.log.1 in place error.log.$(date) | 17:39 |
| bujji | KrimZon:o/ | 17:42 |
| KrimZon | i'm not sure | 17:43 |
| daftykins | bujji: read up :) | 17:44 |
| KrimZon | google logrotate with date in filename | 17:44 |
| bujji | daftykins:iwant to create script for this .. | 17:44 |
| daftykins | bujji: and? | 17:45 |
| daftykins | why highlight me with that | 17:45 |
| bujji | i gave just reply dafty | 17:46 |
| daftykins | k | 17:47 |
| bujji | http://linuxers.org/howto/howto-use-logrotate-manage-log-files i found this dafty | 17:48 |
| daftykins | ok, but it's you learning it, not me? | 17:49 |
| bujji | ookey, | 17:50 |
| bujji | where the file will be created ? | 17:52 |
| KrimZon | usually in the same directory as the original file | 17:54 |
| bujji | inside loggrotate.d i need to create file? | 17:59 |
| bujji | KrimZon:hey | 18:07 |
| bujji | daftykins:o/ :) | 18:07 |
| KrimZon | i don't know off the top of my head | 18:08 |

| diddledan | alo | 18:29 |
| diddledan | allo knightwise ** | 18:29 |
| knightwise | anyone played with nagios before ? Trying to get it to send me an email when something goes down | 18:29 |
| daftykins | diddledan: so, yet another new build and no more watermark eh? | 18:29 |
| knightwise | been playing with NagiosPi, looks pretty swell | 18:29 |
| diddledan | daftykins: yeah | 18:30 |
| diddledan | knightwise: the configuration has a lot of boilerplate you need to do and for some reason they insist on it being in many many config files | 18:30 |
| knightwise | its a pretty pre-configured environment (completely pre-cooked image file) so there just may be an error with the mail server or something , not sure | 18:32 |
| m0nkey_ | hey diddledan, these edgerouter poe's are only supposed to come with a 24V adapter for powering 24V devices off the POE ports.. mine came with a 48V :D | 18:33 |
| diddledan | hmm, sourceforge is offline | 18:36 |
| knightwise | yep , noticed that they are in static mode | 18:36 |
| diddledan | it's nice how their site status page leads to a message that the site status page (and the rest of the site) are offline | 18:38 |
| daftykins | :D | 18:39 |
| daftykins | let that be a lesson to you, your status pages need status pages! | 18:39 |
| diddledan | their latest twatting reports "#SourceForge site is read-only, developer services disabled due to storage infra fault. Service restoral work in-progress, ETA to follow" - that account has a nice message in it's description that states "For support, see ticket/IRC/email information on http://sourceforge.net/support/" the support url is also offline when they're in static mode | 18:43 |
| diddledan | that twit was 17 hours ago btw | 18:44 |
| knightwise | ok , switching Nagios over to Sendemail | 18:45 |
| foobarry | nagios is the lynchpin of an IT infrastructure knightwise | 19:42 |
| foobarry | adagios is based on it, lets you do a bit more | 19:42 |
| ball | It's +33C out. | 20:48 |
| ball | (hotter than that if you believe my car's thermometer) | 20:48 |
| daftykins | erk :S | 20:48 |
| ball | Actually nice to get back to the office. At least they have air conditioning turned on. | 20:49 |
| daftykins | :D | 20:49 |
| ball | The A/C in my car hasn't worked since the autumn. | 20:50 |
| ball | I should probably get that fixed. For now I drive with my window down and hang out of the window like a dog. | 20:51 |
| brobostigon | :( | 20:51 |
| ball | ...with my tongue flapping in the breeze | 20:51 |
| ball | Erm... suddenly it's raining. | 20:55 |
| ball | Perhaps that'll cool things down a bit. | 20:55 |
| * brobostigon drools, yes please, cool weather. | 20:56 | |
| daftykins | confirmed ball: https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRUSXqjwbaUH8R68sDb6ymZ3tmWr6R3IUM0HkT-KQ4oPhbNuJIx | 20:57 |
| daftykins | :D | 20:57 |
| daftykins | wow 33MB file copy to a flash drive taking multiple minutes | 20:59 |
| diddledan | I've been copying off an external drive since yesterday | 21:00 |
| diddledan | (several TeeBees) | 21:00 |
| daftykins | ;_; | 21:01 |
| ball | I backed up some files from my work laptop today. I'm told they'll be replacing the hard disk within the next fortnight. | 21:06 |
| daftykins | it's a corsair GT flash drive too, hmm i'll nuked it in a tick and see what's up | 21:06 |
| ball | (and supposedly upgrading the RAM) | 21:06 |
| daftykins | ball: something up with it? | 21:07 |
| diddledan | daftykins: maybe it's dead :-p | 21:07 |
| diddledan | daftykins: you do seem to attract dead disk | 21:07 |
| diddledan | disks* | 21:07 |
| ball | daftykins: It's fine but my colleague badgered them to upgrade his so they're upgrading mine too. | 21:08 |
| ball | ...so they're upgrading it and fitting an SSD. | 21:08 |
| daftykins | nice :D | 21:08 |
| daftykins | will it be your first? | 21:08 |
| ball | Yes. | 21:08 |
| diddledan | virgin! | 21:08 |
| daftykins | you won't know yourself! :) | 21:08 |
| === shauno_ is now known as shauno | ||
| daftykins | a wild shauno! | 21:09 |
| daftykins | hi sir | 21:09 |
| ball | It's my work laptop. I suppose it means the laptop will boot quickly. Sadly the equipment I work on takes about five minutes to boot and we're not putting SSDs in those. | 21:09 |
| shauno | greetings humans | 21:09 |
| ball | ...and about 45 minutes to upgrade the firmware. | 21:09 |
| diddledan | I need to pull the disk out of my other pc - it's either dead or the mobo is | 21:09 |
| ball | I'll probably pull the hard disk out of my wife's desktop PC tonight. | 21:10 |
| ball | ...and see whether her Mac can read the disk. | 21:10 |
| daftykins | NTFS? macs read but don't write at all, iirc | 21:11 |
| ball | That's fine. Read-only would be my preferred choice anyway. | 21:11 |
| daftykins | so she went to the dark side, eh? | 21:13 |
| ball | She was using Ubuntu for about a month. Her exact words were "I don't know what this is but I hate it". | 21:14 |
| ball | Interestingly she didn't complain last time I had her running Xubuntu for a while. | 21:14 |
| popey | bah | 21:16 |
| popey | flying home tomorrow :( | 21:16 |
| ball | Interestingly I didn't mind it. | 21:16 |
| ball | popey: Where are you now? | 21:17 |
| popey | portugal | 21:17 |
| ball | Ah, my sister has been there. | 21:17 |
| popey | its lovely | 21:17 |
| daftykins | i still have my guest from the US | 21:17 |
| ball | daftykins: Where is he or she from? | 21:18 |
| daftykins | she's from Houston, Texas :) | 21:18 |
| daftykins | so quite the change to come to a wee island | 21:18 |
| === m0nkey__ is now known as m0nkey_ | ||
| * ball nods | 21:44 | |
| ball | I can relate to the shock. | 21:44 |
| ball | It took some getting used to when I moved to the U.S. | 21:48 |
| daftykins | :) | 21:52 |
| diddledan | I wrote a go-lang program to provide a uniform mechanism for uploading to an sftp-only server we have to use for one of our clients. It does sftp and works on windows, mac and linux without any changes to the code. | 22:59 |
| diddledan | I got moaned-at for originally having it on github :-( | 23:00 |
| diddledan | specifically because it had a hardcoded ip and port number | 23:00 |
