[01:32] <diddledan> anyone around?
[01:32] <diddledan> v. quiet in here today
[01:49] <zmoylan-pi> o/
[01:50] <diddledan> \o
[05:33] <mappps> hi all
[05:34] <mappps> hey diddledan
[07:14] <diplo> Morning all
[08:11] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[08:14] <awilkins> It's raining.
[08:15] <davmor2> Morning all
[08:16] <davmor2> Morning song Blue by Eiffle 65
[08:16] <brobostigon> and humid and warm.
[08:19]  * bashrc was like a drowned rat by the time he arrived at work
[08:20] <brobostigon> is that like wet dog syndrome?
[08:20] <bashrc> similar
[08:20] <brobostigon> oh dear, not good then.
[08:22] <davmor2> brobostigon: the worse one is when you wear a mac to protect yourself from the rain and wind up wetter from the sweat
[08:23] <brobostigon> yes that very unpleasnt.
[08:39] <Laney> i was pleased that the water butt was being refilled
[08:39]  * Laney is officially middle aged
[08:51] <davmor2> Laney: you're not old enough to be middle aged :P
[09:02] <bashrc> depends how long you expect to live, I suppose
[09:09] <brobostigon> if i get to 60's/70's i will be lucky i reckon.
[09:19] <davmor2> brobostigon: you plan on making that many enemies ;)
[09:20] <brobostigon> lolz.
[09:21]  * awilkins is snuggled up in his dressing gown and blankie
[09:23] <brobostigon> no teddy?
[09:24] <awilkins> Dammit, man, I'm *working*
[09:24] <awilkins> The teddy is not considered suitable business attire.
[09:25] <bashrc> neither is a dressing gown
[09:26] <bashrc> although I've seen folks wearing all kinds of things around here, including wizard hats

[17:02] <diddledan> it's been really quiet the past few days
[17:02] <diddledan> where's everyone gone?
[17:03] <zmoylan-pi> tis august, some are on holidays and some are covering for those on holidays.
[17:04] <zmoylan-pi> as a gamer it's difficult rounding up enough people for d&d games this time of year
[17:11] <zmoylan-pi> come september it'll be all the fun happy people back to the normal daily slog
[17:19] <diddledan> lol: http://www.revk.uk/2015/07/crypto-wars.html
[17:21] <shauno> I'm working pretty much constantly to make up for all my recent jaunts :/
[17:21] <shauno> this "week" I'm doing 10 days in a row, 8 10hr shifts and two 12
[17:21] <zmoylan-pi> thankfully the irish summer (today was sunshine AND rain at same time) will mean you won't miss much :-)
[17:22] <diddledan> did you get a rainbow?
[17:22] <zmoylan-pi> no, i got wet
[17:22] <shauno> summer was yesterday on this side :/
[17:22] <diddledan> aww
[17:22] <zmoylan-pi> and hot and sticky at same time
[17:22] <shauno> it hit 16 degrees so they called an ice cream van out
[17:23] <zmoylan-pi> but it was funny watching tourists in dublin trying to work out wether to wear rain coats or use umbrellas
[17:23] <diddledan> we had an ice cream van tinkling it's chimes yesterday, too
[17:23] <shauno> apparently when they got him out in easter, they arranged a discount by paying for 3 visits up-front
[17:24] <shauno> so they've just spent all summer waiting for the sun to show up so they can call in on the other two
[17:24] <diddledan> lol
[17:24] <diddledan> bad idea in ireland planning for sunshine to happen
[17:25] <shauno> well, this summer has been unusually bad.  this year all the jokes came true :/
[17:25] <zmoylan-pi> unless it's exam time or first few days of back to school in which case the sun will be cracking the pavements :-)
[17:25] <shauno> we didn't even have a good week for the leaving certs!  that one's almost a given
[17:26] <zmoylan-pi> yeah, it was one of the wettest on record which in ireland is up against some stiff competition
[17:26] <diddledan> lol
[17:26] <diddledan> apparently britain got flooded yesterday?
[17:26] <diddledan> I missed it by being comatosed
[17:26] <zmoylan-pi> but i'm sure in a few weeks we'll be asked to limit water due to drought
[17:29] <shauno> I got crispy burnt on the solent.  kinda unfair advantage when I haven't seen sun for 5 months
[17:29] <zmoylan-pi> if you live in ireland long enough all it takes is a little wind burn to give you an all over tan :-)
[18:58] <DJones> diddledan: Nowhere got flooded, just southerners whinged becacuse the sun wasn't out
[18:58] <DJones> :)
[20:11] <directhex> i'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] <daftykins> sure
[20:11] <daftykins> link me up!
[20:16] <diddledan> ditto
[20:23] <directhex> haven't tagged this iso yet
[20:23] <directhex> it is EXCITING
[20:23] <directhex> will tag once i'm done regression testing
[20:23] <directhex> which is slow due to the slow usb stick i'm testing from
[20:23] <daftykins> :(
[20:24] <daftykins> i got a super fast teamgroup one the other day, was like £15 for 32GB too
[20:24] <daftykins> i've thrown ISOs on in under 15 seconds
[20:30] <diddledan> never heard of teamgroup
[20:30] <shauno> ditto
[20:32] <diddledan> google says http://www.teamgroupinc.com/en/index.php
[20:32] <diddledan> I have a vague recollection of that logo
[20:32] <diddledan> but that's about it
[20:32] <daftykins> they are big for RAM
[20:32] <daftykins> usually pretty cheap too
[20:35] <directhex> 3/4 of HW regression tests passed, time to boot the last one
[20:36] <diddledan> is that "three quarters" or just "three out of four"
[20:37] <daftykins> they'd be the same
[20:37] <daftykins> :D
[20:37] <daftykins> er, what am i on
[20:38] <diddledan> well yes. but "four tests" doesn't sound as exciting as "many tests"
[20:38] <directhex> it's 4 tests
[20:39] <directhex> i 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 fitted
[20:39] <directhex> first doing the install once & swapping GPUs between boots, then again with particular GPUs fitted at install time
[20:40] <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)
[20:41] <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] <directhex> i don't test on intel, but it should follow the same code path as vmware & just work via mesa
[20:42] <daftykins> http://itsfoss.com/ubuntu-official-ppa-graphics/ - i like this news
[20:46] <diddledan> the news may be good, but that site is evil! :-p
[20:48] <daftykins> *shrug* was linked by someone else
[20:48] <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"
[20:50] <diddledan> see: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0soocbt1k1ydfrb/itsfoss-overlay.png?dl=0
[20:50] <shauno> lol, "powered by OptinMonster".  quite aptly named
[20:50] <diddledan> the close link is that teeny bit underneath the "Yes! I Love Linux" button which requires you to give them your email
[20:52] <diddledan> allo shauno
[20:55] <shauno> morning
[20:55] <daftykins> my adblocker must've gotten that
[20:56] <maps> just started the minority report series:D
[20:57] <diddledan> maps: that doesn't air for another month
[20:58] <maps> oh
[20:58] <maps> well pilot has aired
[20:58] <diddledan> aah
[20:58] <diddledan> really?
[20:58] <diddledan> my nzbdrone/sonarr says that's due in a month
[20:59] <daftykins> tsk tsk
[20:59] <maps> ;[
[21:00] <diddledan> mr robot this week was twisty
[21:00] <daftykins> i'm waiting for month end to try that still :)
[21:01] <maps> ya
[21:01] <diddledan> it's awesome!
[21:01] <maps> i watch it
[21:01] <maps> ;D
[21:01] <maps> also a new series called lucifer
[21:01] <diddledan> it makes me wanna be a haxx0r
[21:01] <maps> pilot aired
[21:13] <diddledan> I read the other day that sense8 got picked-up by netflix for a season2. Hopefully it'll not take ages to arrive
[21:13] <diddledan> but. I guess they still need to film it
[21:13] <daftykins> shame Extant is still going
[21:14] <diddledan> apparently the actors are all contracted for a five-year run
[21:14] <daftykins> for Extant!?
[21:14] <diddledan> no, for sense8
[21:14] <daftykins> *phew*
[21:16] <diddledan> amazon seems to think I want a £450 intel i7
[21:16] <directhex> magnet:?xt=urn:btih:63c0824c240a1eed1ea3d6d6e6a6ec17fa5e5715&dn=StephensonsRocket2.26plus1.iso&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.publicbt.com%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.openbittorrent.com%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.ccc.de%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.istole.it%3A80&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fopen.demonii.com%3A1337
[21:16] <diddledan> i.e. just the cpu
[21:17] <daftykins> diddledan: well, amazon can't be wrong so best order it :)
[21:17] <daftykins> connected to 1 of 2 peers
[21:18] <directhex> ( http://download.stephensonsrocket.horse/release/StephensonsRocket2.26plus1.iso.torrent )
[21:18] <daftykins> one of those trackers seems to be claiming 'no such host'
[21:18] <diddledan> 2 hours
[21:18] <daftykins> think it's the ccc.de one
[21:18] <directhex> sigh. i wish i didn't have to keep changing trackers
[21:18] <diddledan> 4 hours
[21:18] <diddledan> 5
[21:19] <directhex> at least 1 of them seems fine to me, it'll do for now
[21:19] <diddledan> mathinks it's volatile
[21:19] <directhex> :shipit:
[21:19] <diddledan> :-p
[21:19] <diddledan> and dead
[21:20] <directhex> i'm pushing 6mbit... possibly that one's the LAN peer (i'm making my NAS do seeding too)
[21:21] <daftykins> i'm occasionally hitting 200 up and 200 down
[21:21] <daftykins> keeps grinding to a halt though :>
[21:21] <daftykins> ah well
[21:22]  * daftykins can see diddledan 
[21:22] <diddledan> o/
[21:24] <maps> get minority report diddledan ;)
[21:29] <diddledan> jeez, amazon still uses silverlight
[21:30] <daftykins> :(
[21:30] <daftykins> what for?
[21:30] <daftykins> IV Prime?
[21:30] <diddledan> video
[21:30] <diddledan> yeah prime
[21:30] <diddledan> and it's not working either
[21:30] <diddledan> >.<
[21:31] <diddledan> "We're experiencing a problem playing this video. Please try again. For further assistance, contact Amazon Customer Service."
[21:31] <daftykins> ooh err
[21:31] <diddledan> interesting. that's in firefox - in chrome it uses html5
[21:32] <daftykins> probably uses that DRM component that firefox doesn't have?
[21:32] <shauno> I Think ff should now?  since v38?
[21:33] <daftykins> oh that adobe 'Primetime Content Decryption Module' ?
[21:33] <directhex> i see 3 peers
[21:33] <directhex> 1 utorrent, 2 transmission
[21:34] <daftykins> yip
[21:34] <diddledan> well in firefox 40 apazon just tried using silverlight - I got a notice from firefox that it was blocked so I clicked allow
[21:34] <shauno> yeah, the adobe one.  that's what netflix is using in firefox, at least
[21:38] <maps> off to work
[21:38] <maps> buh bye
[21:38] <daftykins> enjoy o/
[21:38] <maps> get minority report;D
[21:39] <daftykins> haha ok
[21:40] <shauno> lol, are you on commission?
[21:45] <m0nkey_> want to take a quick vote on something.. toyota corolla or honda civic?
[21:50] <daftykins> directhex: your client isn't capped is it o0 crawling along :)
[21:51] <zmoylan-pi> cars most comfortable to be knocked down by? :-P
[21:51] <m0nkey_> just trying to get a general consensus on them two
[21:51] <directhex> daftykins: iirc BT do traffic shaping on torrent uploads
[21:51] <daftykins> directhex: :( that's pure evil
[21:52] <m0nkey_> ha! i don't have traffic shaping!
[21:53] <m0nkey_> but i do have a data cap :/
[21:54] <daftykins> ouch
[21:54] <daftykins> nothing here - one thing the islands telco does right ;)
[21:54] <daftykins> my 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 ground
[21:55] <daftykins> still they were pushing to charge him to install a "Home500" socket, which is just that VDSL built in filters job
[21:55] <daftykins> odd given the first point should be their responsibility
[21:58] <brobostigon> is 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".
[22:02] <daftykins> quick glance over the man page didn't look promising, though i'd not like having any errors at all :)
[22:10] <brobostigon> i just thought i would ask, incase i missed something. yes erro free would be good.

[22:19] <directhex> sorry about the comedy low speeds, everyone :(
[22:19] <directhex> i've triple-checked the Transmission config, it really shouldn't be blocked at my end. must be BT.
[22:31] <directhex> super special seeding crew: grab https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0RgGqWAMEw8aFY1TVVqTEpjSDQ/view?usp=sharing and seed instead of waiting on my capped BT line, if you prefer
[22:39] <daftykins> sounds good, i'll do that then seed to the others a bit more
[22:42] <daftykins> 5Mb up - that's a bit better :)
[22:47] <daftykins> i think my client prefers shauno *whistle*
[23:02] <daftykins> well, a user from israel wasn't my first guess of a peer at all
[23:04] <directhex> saw him on google analytics
[23:04] <directhex> christ, going to bed
[23:04] <daftykins> o/
