| davmor2 | MooDoo: Classic from the mamas and the papas this morning :) | 08:29 |
| davmor2 | MooDoo: mostly due to seeing the sky colour this morning :) | 08:30 |
| MooDoo | davmor2: i've just randomely picked a playlist, don't think i've heard of half the artists | 08:30 |
| davmor2 | MooDoo: that's why you need my morning head song play list in your life, you'll know them all :D | 08:31 |
| MooDoo | yeah i usually listen to that | 08:33 |
| Knightwork | I'm going to use bittorrent sync and a raspberry pi to do some offsite backups | 08:33 |
| Knightwork | been having some issues giving bittorrent sync the correct rights to a mounted external drive | 08:36 |

| Knightwork | Its on the very fringes of ' a blazer ' but only misses a sonic screwdriver to become a dr who outfit | 08:52 |
| zmoylan-pi | definitely from the sci fi end of the wardrobe | 08:53 |
| zmoylan-pi | more a baddie leader of the week though | 08:53 |
| JamesTait | Good morning all; happy Milk Chocolate Day! 😃 | 08:54 |
| zmoylan-pi | because all those red bulls weren't enough reason to cut your foot off | 08:55 |
| Knightwork | zmoylan-pi: it is rather special indeed | 08:56 |

| * JamesTait nabs Knightwork's chocolate. | 09:09 | |
| davmor2 | Knightwork: that is nearly as bad as saying you don't like cats | 09:09 |
| Knightwork | I'm Belgian .. i should LOVE chocolate | 09:09 |
| Knightwork | davmor2: i'm a dog person (but we do have a cat) | 09:10 |

| diddledan | Knightwork: that's a propper doge doge, too | 09:22 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: there is something wrong with you isn't there ;) | 09:23 |
| JamesTait | davmor2, nothing a holiday won't cure. Probably. | 09:23 |
| Knightwork | diddledan: yep . she is shedding right now , that is why she looks a little thin | 09:24 |
| zmoylan-pi | roll on winter | 09:24 |
| Knightwork | yep .. you won't believe the amount of fur they shedd | 09:26 |
| diddledan | JamesTait: davmor2: it took me 2 minutes of watching that before I realised it was eating my brain | 09:26 |
| davmor2 | diddledan: no it wasn't it was eating choco choco latte | 09:27 |
| diddledan | I'm gonna have that in my head all day now | 09:27 |
| diddledan | davmor2: find it on spotify and add it to the morning-head list :-p | 09:27 |
| diddledan | but seriously, there should be health warnings on that | 09:28 |
| davmor2 | diddledan: mamas and papas this morning is still protecting me from it, might be different in the morning | 09:29 |
| davmor2 | Knightwork: My moneys still on this cat https://photos.google.com/u/0/photo/AF1QipOydiJj0fBPv7ITkOoFw7V-J3opUWmGR85zCl8j ;) | 09:33 |
| Knightwork | dav, bad link | 09:33 |
| davmor2 | Knightwork: https://goo.gl/photos/MNRYdjNkxyiugR9d8 try that | 09:34 |
| Knightwork | davmor2: if that is your cat it explains the state of your face | 09:35 |
| davmor2 | Knightwork: No it's one of the cats I sponsor can't really have pets here | 09:36 |
| * zmoylan-pi makes do with landlords cats and loads of ferals around | 09:39 | |
| cocoa117 | is there a way to appear to be login to a mchine through SSH and background the process? E.g. the w would show you login? | 10:18 |
| davmor2 | we see lots of pets at the caravan park at the weekend :) | 10:18 |
| zmoylan-pi | seems cruel for the cats... :-) | 10:30 |
| bigcalm | Good morning peeps :) | 10:33 |
| davmor2 | zmoylan-pi: they love it, and the tortoises and the rabbits as well as the dogs | 10:35 |
| Myrtti | cocoa117: sure, hold on | 10:38 |
| davmor2 | morning bigcalm | 10:38 |
| bigcalm | o/ | 10:38 |
| cocoa117 | Myrtti, :) | 10:39 |
| davmor2 | bigcalm: what's your opinion on this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYluMAO1b7Y | 10:39 |
| bigcalm | davmor2: no real opinion. Not in the mood for that type of music right now. | 10:40 |
| davmor2 | bigcalm: try this then https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oFMEeftF78 | 10:40 |
| Myrtti | cocoa117: -f | 10:41 |
| Myrtti | cocoa117: man ssh row 113 (-N and -n) might be useful too | 10:42 |
| davmor2 | anybody else here really want to hear Kate Bush re sing running up that hill but with the placibo music | 11:10 |
| mgdm | I'd rather not hear Kate Bush sing at all | 11:11 |
| zmoylan-pi | she had a few good tunes | 11:13 |
| diddledan | yey for long-running processes - I've just started a job which should only take about 20 hours to complete | 11:14 |
| diddledan | splecifically I'm doing some geocoding | 11:14 |
| diddledan | I've put artificial delays of ~30 seconds between each attempt so as to hopefully not fall foul of google's api limits | 11:15 |
| zmoylan-pi | hee, did that when i wrote an sms server way back :-) too many sms and the number would be blocked automatically | 11:17 |
| zmoylan-pi | never mind it was from a company account going to only numbers also on the same account. engineers been sent tasks and info relating to those tasks, originally by pager and then sms | 11:18 |
| Laney | ruddy ninja carding | 11:57 |
| Laney | I had the radio on so he could have heard I was in | 11:57 |
| Myrtti | ninja postman? | 11:58 |
| Laney | indeed | 12:01 |
| TwistedLucidity | Laney: Royal Mail rarely delivers parcels these days. It's more efficient for them to post the card and have to slog out to the sorting office | 12:01 |
| Laney | also the royal mail's redelivery form helpfully goes back a stage (losing all the entered data) if you press 'enter' | 12:01 |
| czajkowski | ugh | 12:01 |
| Laney | TwistedLucidity: this is supposed to be a perk of working from home! | 12:01 |
| TwistedLucidity | Laney: But you have so much time to drive to the sorting office! | 12:02 |
| Laney | PSH, PSH I SAY | 12:02 |
| TwistedLucidity | I find DPD to be the best. Text updates and (almost) on time | 12:02 |
| Laney | i'm making them bring it back out | 12:02 |
| Laney | don't actually have any clue what it is | 12:02 |
| Laney | other than that it needs to be signed for | 12:03 |
| Laney | (exciting) | 12:03 |
| TwistedLucidity | It's "Sorry we missed you card" :-) | 12:03 |
| zmoylan-pi | broken... now... :-p | 12:03 |
| TwistedLucidity | Could be worse, could be a missed "Yodel" delivery. | 12:04 |
| Laney | hah | 12:04 |
| Laney | haven't had them for a while | 12:04 |
| TwistedLucidity | ParcelFarce used to block GNU/Linux when trying to send a package, I wonder is they still do? | 12:05 |
| TwistedLucidity | Yup - they only support Windows | 12:06 |
| zmoylan-pi | not even mac? | 12:06 |
| === alan_g is now known as alan_g|lunch | ||
| TwistedLucidity | They say now | 12:07 |
| TwistedLucidity | At least they let you proceed at your own risk, which is a step forward | 12:07 |
| davmor2 | Laney: https://goo.gl/maps/BGAO6 not really a problem for me :) | 12:07 |
| TwistedLucidity | Check it: https://ship.parcelforce.net/welcome | 12:08 |
| zmoylan-pi | internal server error | 12:09 |
| zmoylan-pi | if they can't deliver a tcp/ip packet... :-D | 12:09 |
| TwistedLucidity | davmor2: Convince them to install a catapult for "short range airmail" | 12:09 |
| TwistedLucidity | zmoylan-pi: Does this work? https://ship.parcelforce.net/intro | 12:10 |
| Laney | davmor2: there's got to be an upside to living in Wolverhampton :) | 12:10 |
| zmoylan-pi | there used to be a pigeon post for delivering drugs around wwi iirc | 12:10 |
| zmoylan-pi | appears to work TwistedLucidity, no errors this time | 12:11 |
| awilkins | Is there a pomodoro timer app that DOESN'T require me to install the whole of GNOME shell? (searched for "pomodoro" and "tomato" in Synaptic, got a tomato smashing game and gnome-shell-timer which needs GNOME shell...) | 12:27 |
| * awilkins contemplates whether Hamster can be hacked into doing this | 12:27 | |
| davmor2 | Laney: there are lots, Brewery, Pies, Parks, Canals, Theatre, Music Venues, Football, the list goes on :) | 12:38 |
| czajkowski | oh someone said pie | 13:03 |
| czajkowski | yes please | 13:03 |

| TwistedLucidity | czajkowski: That is an awesome idea. | 13:48 |
| TwistedLucidity | The orange-cake thing | 13:48 |
| czajkowski | yup it so is | 13:49 |
| czajkowski | popey: something you may like to make with the kids | 13:50 |
| davmor2 | popey: no don't listen to czajkowski making it out of kids wouldn't be half as tasty | 13:53 |
| daftykins | i nearly made a comment about child cookies | 13:55 |
| popey | ooh, i could cook those in my chiminea | 13:56 |
| arsenip | that looks tasssssty | 13:56 |
| arsenip | wonder if i can bbq that | 13:56 |
| arsenip | spose i can | 13:56 |
| czajkowski | see good food :) | 13:56 |
| mgdm | popey: you can cook things in a chiminea? | 13:58 |

| czajkowski | yumy | 13:59 |
| mgdm | yet another reason to get one when I finish the garden upgrade | 13:59 |

| daftykins | ouch, i just phoned up Shure about my earphones to see what it'd cost for repair | 16:06 |
| daftykins | no option at all, have to send mine in and essentially buy the new model at a 25% discount | 16:07 |
| daftykins | still comes out at £208 delivered | 16:07 |

| foobarry | https://www.backblaze.com/blog/hard-drive-reliability-stats-for-q2-2015/ | 17:19 |
| foobarry | hmm | 17:19 |
| daftykins | foobarry: nice | 17:33 |
| awilkins | foobarry, Otherwise known as "Holy **** don't buy a Seagate" | 17:35 |
| shauno | it doesn't look too bad for 4tb drives. but the 3tb were famous | 17:36 |
| daftykins | i don't like Seagate anyway, their SMART data increments 'error' values when everything is fine - making it harder to notice something is up | 17:38 |
| shauno | I tend to avoid them, except in laptops. no-one else seems to be doing 2tb in 2.5" yet | 17:40 |
| daftykins | mechanical :( | 17:41 |
| daftykins | ah well, 3D V-NAND will save us all ;) | 17:41 |
| daftykins | those new samsungs aren't bad, £750 odd for a 2TB SSD | 17:41 |
| daftykins | that'll only keep coming down | 17:41 |
| shauno | yeah. nice to know they're there, but still a little too rich to be throwing at a 5yo laptop. so I still have one of each | 17:42 |
| awilkins | mSATA + Spinny Rust is a very nice combo if you do one of the caching things | 17:42 |
| daftykins | i'd bet even without, if you keep the right stuff on the SSD | 17:43 |
| shauno | I just keep them seperate. most the stuff I use in bulk storage I know I don't need anyway. stuff like photos, music, etc | 17:43 |
| awilkins | That probably also works well | 17:43 |
| shauno | actually just ordered one of those hp microservers so I can start keeping them somewhere more sensible :) | 17:44 |
| daftykins | network storage \o/ | 17:45 |
| awilkins | NAS box | 17:45 |
| daftykins | i wouldn't really call it one if it's a full setup like a desktop essentially | 17:47 |
| shauno | (with WD reds) | 17:48 |
| daftykins | heh i've got a proper appliance one somewhere that keeps telling me it has OS updates available, but it's not something i'm gonna ride the opposite end of the island to hit 'update' on | 17:48 |
| daftykins | WD reds \o/ | 17:48 |
| daftykins | shauno: don't forget the little vouchers that give you an extra year warranty | 17:48 |
| daftykins | they're like a couple of quid each | 17:48 |
| daftykins | well worth it | 17:48 |
| davmor2 | daftykins: cycle pfff isn't that what ssh is for | 17:52 |
| daftykins | not to someones house with no Linux systems o0 | 17:53 |
| shauno | windows is getting ssh in 10 ;) | 17:53 |
| daftykins | they also don't run Windows! | 17:53 |
| shauno | it's already in osx? | 17:54 |
| daftykins | yeah but i'm not gonna setup SSH on someones MBP at home | 17:54 |
| daftykins | and a dynamic DNS and... and... | 17:54 |
| daftykins | :P | 17:54 |
| shauno | yeah, who would do that | 17:55 |
| shauno | actually, I coulda swore there was a way to get vnc to connect back to front | 17:56 |
| daftykins | yeah i used to mess with that, but meh | 17:58 |
| daftykins | i feel wrong about charging someone to hit update :) | 17:58 |
| daftykins | so i don't feel hugely inclined to | 17:58 |
| daftykins | shauno: are you seriously saying you'd set that up just to do future maintenance? | 18:00 |
| zmoylan-pi | where would ms or apple be with that attutude?? :-) | 18:00 |
| daftykins | you missed out Linux distros, they're not immune | 18:00 |
| shauno | I used to, but then I charged them travel time too so remote saved them billables too | 18:02 |
| daftykins | i don't think it's right to open that up on someones machine after only doing one job | 18:04 |
| daftykins | regular client? sure | 18:04 |
| daftykins | office users? sure. home user like this one? nope | 18:05 |
| shauno | yeah, that's why the reverse-vnc was a second thought. because that leaves the 'open' on your side | 18:05 |
| daftykins | mmm, i think aero wasn't working too well with it | 18:05 |
| daftykins | i moved to playing with teamviewer a bit ago, but not tried that with macs yet | 18:06 |
| daftykins | actually that reminds me - this lady had ubuntu but moved to mac | 18:06 |
| shauno | also, my only 'regular' kept everything onsite, mail & all, so ssh was the least of their worries | 18:07 |
| ali1234 | how do i format a 4TB drive in linux? | 18:40 |
| ali1234 | i can't go above 2.2TB with fdisk apparently | 18:40 |
| daftykins | gdisk ? | 18:42 |
| daftykins | can't even remember what i wrote a GPT as onto a RAID, now | 18:43 |
| daftykins | what i wrote it with, that is | 18:43 |
| davmor2 | ali1234: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/fdisk-unable-to-create-partition-greater-2tb.html | 19:12 |
| daftykins | oh yeah parted | 19:12 |
| daftykins | *facepalm* | 19:12 |
| ali1234 | so in other words i need to use GPT? | 19:12 |
| daftykins | yes | 19:13 |
| ali1234 | okay, i see | 19:13 |
| directhex | MBR partition format cannot address numbers above 2T | 20:49 |
| directhex | booting from GPT on BIOS is doable with linux, but not windows | 20:49 |
| daftykins | hmm | 20:50 |
| mapito | 3 apartments to viw | 20:58 |
| mapito | 1 bed atlantic suites £1200 extra for pool LOL | 20:58 |
| mapito | 1 bed euro towers £1150 and 1 bed water gardens £1050 | 20:58 |
| mapito | bargains eh? | 20:58 |
| daftykins | o0 | 21:01 |
| ali1234 | directhex: i don't need to boot, it's an external USB drive | 21:33 |
| directhex | then gpt is fine | 21:33 |
| ali1234 | any thoughts on filesystem format? | 21:34 |
| ali1234 | just EXT4? | 21:34 |
| daftykins | what's the data that'll go on it? | 21:36 |
| daftykins | certainly no harm in keeping it simple with ext4 | 21:36 |
| ali1234 | literally everything | 21:37 |
| daftykins | backup? mmm | 21:37 |
| ali1234 | single files that are 20GB, directories with 10k files in them... | 21:37 |
