diddledanit's been really quiet the past few days17:02
diddledanwhere's everyone gone?17:02
zmoylan-pitis august, some are on holidays and some are covering for those on holidays.17:03
zmoylan-pias a gamer it's difficult rounding up enough people for d&d games this time of year17:04
zmoylan-picome september it'll be all the fun happy people back to the normal daily slog17:11
diddledanlol: http://www.revk.uk/2015/07/crypto-wars.html17:19
shaunoI'm working pretty much constantly to make up for all my recent jaunts :/17:21
shaunothis "week" I'm doing 10 days in a row, 8 10hr shifts and two 1217:21
zmoylan-pithankfully the irish summer (today was sunshine AND rain at same time) will mean you won't miss much :-)17:21
diddledandid you get a rainbow?17:22
zmoylan-pino, i got wet17:22
shaunosummer was yesterday on this side :/17:22
diddledanaww17:22
zmoylan-piand hot and sticky at same time17:22
shaunoit hit 16 degrees so they called an ice cream van out17:22
zmoylan-pibut it was funny watching tourists in dublin trying to work out wether to wear rain coats or use umbrellas17:23
diddledanwe had an ice cream van tinkling it's chimes yesterday, too17:23
shaunoapparently when they got him out in easter, they arranged a discount by paying for 3 visits up-front17:23
shaunoso they've just spent all summer waiting for the sun to show up so they can call in on the other two17:24
diddledanlol17:24
diddledanbad idea in ireland planning for sunshine to happen17:24
shaunowell, this summer has been unusually bad.  this year all the jokes came true :/17:25
zmoylan-piunless it's exam time or first few days of back to school in which case the sun will be cracking the pavements :-)17:25
shaunowe didn't even have a good week for the leaving certs!  that one's almost a given17:25
zmoylan-piyeah, it was one of the wettest on record which in ireland is up against some stiff competition17:26
diddledanlol17:26
diddledanapparently britain got flooded yesterday?17:26
diddledanI missed it by being comatosed17:26
zmoylan-pibut i'm sure in a few weeks we'll be asked to limit water due to drought17:26
shaunoI got crispy burnt on the solent.  kinda unfair advantage when I haven't seen sun for 5 months17:29
zmoylan-piif you live in ireland long enough all it takes is a little wind burn to give you an all over tan :-)17:29
DJonesdiddledan: Nowhere got flooded, just southerners whinged becacuse the sun wasn't out18:58
DJones:)18:58
directhexi'm expecting to tag a Stephenson's Rocket release in a couple of hours. will people be able to help me seed it, prior to doing the launch announcement?20:11
daftykinssure20:11
daftykinslink me up!20:11
diddledanditto20:16
directhexhaven't tagged this iso yet20:23
directhexit is EXCITING20:23
directhexwill tag once i'm done regression testing20:23
directhexwhich is slow due to the slow usb stick i'm testing from20:23
daftykins:(20:23
daftykinsi got a super fast teamgroup one the other day, was like £15 for 32GB too20:24
daftykinsi've thrown ISOs on in under 15 seconds20:24
diddledannever heard of teamgroup20:30
shaunoditto20:30
diddledangoogle says http://www.teamgroupinc.com/en/index.php20:32
diddledanI have a vague recollection of that logo20:32
diddledanbut that's about it20:32
daftykinsthey are big for RAM20:32
daftykinsusually pretty cheap too20:32
directhex3/4 of HW regression tests passed, time to boot the last one20:35
diddledanis that "three quarters" or just "three out of four"20:36
daftykinsthey'd be the same20:37
daftykins:D20:37
daftykinser, what am i on20:37
diddledanwell yes. but "four tests" doesn't sound as exciting as "many tests"20:38
directhexit's 4 tests20:38
directhexi hammer it out in vmware until it works reliably in vmware (both bios and uefi), then i test on a real (old) pc with a variety of GPUs fitted20:39
directhexfirst doing the install once & swapping GPUs between boots, then again with particular GPUs fitted at install time20:39
directhex* a supported geforce (which should use the valve-provided nvidia-glx)20:40
directhex* a supported radeon (which should use the valve-provided fglrx)20:40
directhex* an unsupported geforce (which should use the hex-provided legacy 340 version of nvidia-glx)20:41
directhex* an unsupported radeon (which should use mesa)20:41
directhexi don't test on intel, but it should follow the same code path as vmware & just work via mesa20:41
daftykinshttp://itsfoss.com/ubuntu-official-ppa-graphics/ - i like this news20:42
diddledanthe news may be good, but that site is evil! :-p20:46
daftykins*shrug* was linked by someone else20:48
diddledan.. I moved my mouse out of the browser at the top of the window and was greeted with a lovely overlay that to get rid of other than closing the tab I have to click the link which is entitled "no, I hate linux"20:48
diddledansee: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0soocbt1k1ydfrb/itsfoss-overlay.png?dl=020:50
shaunolol, "powered by OptinMonster".  quite aptly named20:50
diddledanthe close link is that teeny bit underneath the "Yes! I Love Linux" button which requires you to give them your email20:50

daftykinsouch21:54
daftykinsnothing here - one thing the islands telco does right ;)21:54
daftykinsmy friend has a fun exchange with their support right now as their service has reliable packet loss, i went over and we tested 3 routers from where his phone line comes out of the ground21:54
daftykinsstill they were pushing to charge him to install a "Home500" socket, which is just that VDSL built in filters job21:55
daftykinsodd given the first point should be their responsibility21:55
brobostigonis there a way to make apt-get ignore errors and continue processing, after the following error and apt-get/dpkg stops, "processing halted because there were to many errors".21:58
daftykinsquick glance over the man page didn't look promising, though i'd not like having any errors at all :)22:02
brobostigoni just thought i would ask, incase i missed something. yes erro free would be good.22:10
