E.g. the w would show you login? [10:18] we see lots of pets at the caravan park at the weekend :) [10:30] seems cruel for the cats... :-) [10:33] Good morning peeps :) [10:35] zmoylan-pi: they love it, and the tortoises and the rabbits as well as the dogs [10:38] cocoa117: sure, hold on [10:38] morning bigcalm [10:38] o/ [10:39] Myrtti, :) [10:39] bigcalm: what's your opinion on this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYluMAO1b7Y [10:40] davmor2: no real opinion.

[12:01] indeed [12:01] 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] also the royal mail's redelivery form helpfully goes back a stage (losing all the entered data) if you press 'enter' [12:01] ugh [12:01] TwistedLucidity: this is supposed to be a perk of working from home! [12:02] Laney: But you have so much time to drive to the sorting office! [12:02] PSH, PSH I SAY [12:02] I find DPD to be the best. Text updates and (almost) on time [12:02] i'm making them bring it back out [12:02] don't actually have any clue what it is [12:03] other than that it needs to be signed for [12:03] (exciting) [12:03] It's "Sorry we missed you card" :-) [12:03] broken... now... :-p [12:04] Could be worse, could be a missed "Yodel" delivery. [12:04] hah [12:04] haven't had them for a while [12:05] ParcelFarce used to block GNU/Linux when trying to send a package, I wonder is they still do? [12:06] Yup - they only support Windows [12:06] not even mac? === alan_g is now known as alan_g|lunch [12:07] They say now [12:07] At least they let you proceed at your own risk, which is a step forward [12:07] Laney: https://goo.gl/maps/BGAO6 not really a problem for me :) [12:08] Check it: https://ship.parcelforce.net/welcome [12:09] internal server error [12:09] if they can't deliver a tcp/ip packet... :-D [12:09] davmor2: Convince them to install a catapult for "short range airmail" [12:10] zmoylan-pi: Does this work? https://ship.parcelforce.net/intro [12:10] davmor2: there's got to be an upside to living in Wolverhampton :) [12:10] there used to be a pigeon post for delivering drugs around wwi iirc [12:11] appears to work TwistedLucidity, no errors this time [12:27] 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 [12:38] Laney: there are lots, Brewery, Pies, Parks, Canals, Theatre, Music Venues, Football, the list goes on :) [13:03] oh someone said pie [13:03] yes please [13:03] send some this way!

[13:48] The orange-cake thing [13:49] yup it so is [13:50] popey: something you may like to make with the kids [13:53] popey: no don't listen to czajkowski making it out of kids wouldn't be half as tasty [13:55] i nearly made a comment about child cookies [13:56] ooh, i could cook those in my chiminea [13:56] that looks tasssssty [13:56] wonder if i can bbq that [13:56] spose i can [13:56] see good food :) [13:58] popey: you can cook things in a chiminea? [13:59] mgdm: follow that link [13:59] 14:35 < czajkowski> food for thought : http://themetapicture.com/oranges-fire-and-deliciousness/ [13:59] popey: ooh, cunning [13:59] yumy [13:59] yet another reason to get one when I finish the garden upgrade [14:01] i got a small cheap one from amazon [14:01] tis fun [14:22] How do I find out when this file was deleted? logstash- 30786 syslog 13r REG 252,0 382880 9175043 /var/log/server.log10846712457531125.tmp (deleted) [16:06] ouch, i just phoned up Shure about my earphones to see what it'd cost for repair [16:07] no option at all, have to send mine in and essentially buy the new model at a 25% discount [16:07] still comes out at £208 delivered [16:33] oof [16:35] yrrab [16:38] XD [16:55] pip pip === alan_g is now known as alan_g|EOD [17:19] https://www.backblaze.com/blog/hard-drive-reliability-stats-for-q2-2015/ [17:19] hmm [17:33] foobarry: nice [17:35] foobarry, Otherwise known as "Holy **** don't buy a Seagate" [17:36] it doesn't look too bad for 4tb drives. but the 3tb were famous [17:38] i don't like Seagate anyway, their SMART data increments 'error' values when everything is fine - making it harder to notice something is up [17:40] I tend to avoid them, except in laptops. no-one else seems to be doing 2tb in 2.5" yet [17:41] mechanical :( [17:41] ah well, 3D V-NAND will save us all ;) [17:41] those new samsungs aren't bad, £750 odd for a 2TB SSD [17:41] that'll only keep coming down [17:42] 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] mSATA + Spinny Rust is a very nice combo if you do one of the caching things [17:43] i'd bet even without, if you keep the right stuff on the SSD [17:43] 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] That probably also works well [17:44] actually just ordered one of those hp microservers so I can start keeping them somewhere more sensible :) [17:45] network storage \o/ [17:45] NAS box [17:47] i wouldn't really call it one if it's a full setup like a desktop essentially [17:48] (with WD reds) [17:48] 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] WD reds \o/ [17:48] shauno: don't forget the little vouchers that give you an extra year warranty [17:48] they're like a couple of quid each [17:48] well worth it [17:52] daftykins: cycle pfff isn't that what ssh is for [17:53] not to someones house with no Linux systems o0 [17:53] windows is getting ssh in 10 ;) [17:53] they also don't run Windows! [17:54] it's already in osx? [17:54] yeah but i'm not gonna setup SSH on someones MBP at home [17:54] and a dynamic DNS and... and... [17:54] :P [17:55] yeah, who would do that [17:56] actually, I coulda swore there was a way to get vnc to connect back to front [17:58] yeah i used to mess with that, but meh [17:58] i feel wrong about charging someone to hit update :) [17:58] so i don't feel hugely inclined to [18:00] shauno: are you seriously saying you'd set that up just to do future maintenance? [18:00] where would ms or apple be with that attutude?? :-) [18:00] you missed out Linux distros, they're not immune [18:02] I used to, but then I charged them travel time too so remote saved them billables too [18:04] i don't think it's right to open that up on someones machine after only doing one job [18:04] regular client? sure [18:05] office users? sure. home user like this one? nope [18:05] yeah, that's why the reverse-vnc was a second thought. because that leaves the 'open' on your side [18:05] mmm, i think aero wasn't working too well with it [18:06] i moved to playing with teamviewer a bit ago, but not tried that with macs yet [18:06] actually that reminds me - this lady had ubuntu but moved to mac [18:07] also, my only 'regular' kept everything onsite, mail & all, so ssh was the least of their worries [18:40] how do i format a 4TB drive in linux? [18:40] i can't go above 2.2TB with fdisk apparently [18:42] gdisk ? [18:43] can't even remember what i wrote a GPT as onto a RAID, now [18:43] what i wrote it with, that is [19:12] ali1234: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/fdisk-unable-to-create-partition-greater-2tb.html [19:12] oh yeah parted [19:12] *facepalm* [19:12] so in other words i need to use GPT? [19:13] yes [19:13] okay, i see [20:49] MBR partition format cannot address numbers above 2T [20:49] booting from GPT on BIOS is doable with linux, but not windows [20:50] hmm [20:58] 3 apartments to viw [20:58] 1 bed atlantic suites £1200 extra for pool LOL [20:58] 1 bed euro towers £1150 and 1 bed water gardens £1050 [20:58] bargains eh? [21:01] o0 [21:33] directhex: i don't need to boot, it's an external USB drive [21:33] then gpt is fine [21:34] any thoughts on filesystem format? [21:34] just EXT4? [21:36] what's the data that'll go on it? [21:36] certainly no harm in keeping it simple with ext4 [21:37] literally everything [21:37] backup? mmm [21:37] single files that are 20GB, directories with 10k files in them...
