| daftykins | :( | 00:13 |
|---|---|---|
| daftykins | i think if you didn't want more than openelec could provide, life could be simple :) | 00:13 |
| shauno | well, I'm trying to use osmc at the moment | 00:14 |
| shauno | so .. similar. except I can actually access the filesystem without rebuilding the whole thing | 00:14 |
| daftykins | oh dear | 00:14 |
| daftykins | haha i had a PM from one of the people in the community/devs for that, because i called their community incompetent | 00:14 |
| shauno | (I tried openelec, trying to remaster their rootfs was pure pain) | 00:14 |
| daftykins | reason being, they tailor the thing for Pis - yet none of their IRC channel even know about the memory divider | 00:15 |
| shauno | well you're just a big mean meanie. | 00:15 |
| daftykins | :D | 00:15 |
| daftykins | was just a bit concerning that i was able to point out the problem to a couple of people, when i don't even own one | 00:15 |
| shauno | mostly I'm just finding the same problem as the rest of opensource | 00:15 |
| shauno | "stop trying to fix it, it already works" | 00:15 |
| daftykins | but you must geek, so it can work _better_! | 00:16 |
| shauno | this isn't better. this really isn't better lol | 00:16 |
| shauno | I'm trying to figure out how to port the skin I was using on 11, because it was near-perfect. but they've kept on fiddling, and now it's a disaster | 00:17 |
| shauno | there's a lot to be said for figuring out when to say no | 00:17 |
| daftykins | ooh-err, i think skins are an exercise in pain | 00:17 |
| daftykins | i don't even stray from confluence | 00:18 |
| shauno | most the skins seem to be obsessed with seeing how many more flashy lights they can fit in | 00:19 |
| shauno | I had a really old build of refocus where I just had links down the side for movies/tv shows/weather. and that's it | 00:19 |
| shauno | now it's all like .. we found some spare space to add another flashy! needs more, needs more! | 00:20 |
| daftykins | ah so quite close to the stock ATV one? | 00:20 |
| shauno | more like the windows metro look, if you took away the tiles behind the text | 00:20 |
| daftykins | ah-har | 00:21 |
| shauno | but now each button has borders, which adds nothing. and each button now tries to do 4 things, when it only needed to do one | 00:21 |
| shauno | I mean, when I press 'tv shows'. I want to see my tv shows. that should be really obvious. I don't need a submenu. | 00:22 |
| * daftykins fires up Kodi | 00:23 | |
| shauno | they have added a 'feature' to customize the buttons, but to me that's just admitting that they've replaced "works" with "can be massaged into working" | 00:23 |
| daftykins | that does sound quite annoying | 00:24 |
| daftykins | oh dear i've just gotten a 'drive timeout detected' on my RAID :( | 00:24 |
| daftykins | port 11, hmm | 00:24 |
| shauno | that also sounds quite annoying :p | 00:25 |
| daftykins | drive removed O_O | 00:25 |
| penguin42 | how many disks have you got? | 00:25 |
| daftykins | 12 port controller, ports 7-12 are populated with my newest array atm | 00:25 |
| daftykins | 1-6 is the old which don't get powered on | 00:26 |
| daftykins | are the old disks, i should say | 00:26 |
| shauno | "all of them". when you're on a far-flung island, it's performant to cache the internet. the entire internet. | 00:26 |
| daftykins | :D | 00:26 |
| penguin42 | yeech I hate the 'performant' word | 00:26 |
| daftykins | and the best part, Kodi carried on updating the library as if nothing happened | 00:26 |
| shauno | reminds me, the gen8 hp microserver .. anyone tried running the OS off the sd card? | 00:27 |
| daftykins | there we go, replugged the power to the disk whilst live and she's rebuilding now | 00:38 |
| daftykins | "oh noes! our sibling was gone for mere minutes!" | 00:38 |
| daftykins | <3 hardware RAID :) | 00:43 |
| * penguin42 got sent a job ad for a C++ programmer in Cambridge doing something involving Yocto, Perl/Python and Postcipt/PDF/PCL - so it sounds like someones trying to build a Yocto based printer - I'm not interested but can forward to anyone who is | 00:44 | |
| daftykins | ah this "Mr. Robot" is really fun so far :) episode 1 | 01:13 |
| shauno | aha, got my optical out working :) | 01:33 |
| shauno | and yeha, I liked ep1. but .. | 01:34 |
| daftykins | slid from there huh? | 01:38 |
| shauno | I dunno. everyone else seems to like it | 01:41 |
| daftykins | there we go, ep 1 down | 01:59 |

| czajkowski | aloha | 08:04 |
| leecowdrey_ | Ah the RAT survivors | 08:07 |
| zmoylan-pi | those that minded the step... | 08:08 |
| czajkowski | zmoylan-pi: lol | 08:15 |
| czajkowski | I was driving I've to fly in a few hours on a 11 hr flight | 08:15 |

| zmoylan-pi | you must by now have the biggest collection of duty free... | 08:19 |
| czajkowski | I | 08:23 |
| czajkowski | m past duty free excitement | 08:23 |
| zmoylan-pi | you could build a log cabin of toblerones... | 08:23 |
| czajkowski | <--- gone | 08:24 |
| knightwise | morning | 09:33 |
| knightwise | popey: I am in need of a little convergence demo video of ubuntu (where you can switch from touch to desktop mode) do you have anyplace I might find a decent one ? | 09:36 |
| brobostigon | morning boys and girls. | 09:41 |
| Myrtti | mmm cracked corn toblerone | 09:55 |
| leecowdrey_ | Knightwise there are some on YouTube | 10:00 |
| knightwise | leecowdrey_: found some .. mostly demos by engineers or developers .. no "commercial video's " that i can quickly use in a presentation | 10:02 |
| leecowdrey_ | Yeah sorry, don't know about commercial ones as thought was still work in progress for 2016 as the phones out on the market (not ports) don't yet support MHL | 10:04 |
| popey | knightwise: no commerical ones yet because it's not stable enough | 10:40 |
| knightwise | popey: not even concept ones ? | 15:18 |
| popey | no | 15:18 |

| bigcalm | Good morning peeps :) | 16:42 |
| * penguin42 yawns | 16:42 | |
| === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte | ||
| popey | yo | 18:03 |
| penguin42 | hey popey | 18:04 |
| bigcalm | Word | 18:05 |
| zmoylan-pi | hammer time... | 18:06 |
| MooDoo | evening all | 18:28 |
| daftykins | \o | 18:28 |
| popey | yo | 18:44 |
| zmoylan-pi | all the rail passengers survived the rat then? | 19:14 |
| dutchie | apparently | 19:15 |
| zmoylan-pi | and did anyone slip the receipt from a tattoo parlor into the back pocket of anyone? :-D | 19:16 |
| shauno | I wonder if there's a term for that? 'rat train', like 'pin number' | 19:23 |
| daftykins | hmm | 19:26 |
| daftykins | seems like the kinda thing that should | 19:26 |
| shauno | that's what I'm thinking. if spoonerisms have a term, this surely should | 19:26 |
| shauno | closest I can find is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAS_syndrome | 19:27 |
| shauno | but that seems quite difficult to use in a sentence. | 19:28 |
| shauno | (and I'm quite impressed I found that much. further proof that googling stuff is the primary skillset in my job) | 19:29 |
| daftykins | wow | 19:29 |
| daftykins | haha yeah i'm amazed you found that | 19:30 |
| zmoylan-pi | wouldn't rat train be wrong as the t in rat is train? | 19:35 |
| daftykins | nah that's the point, it's redundant repetition on the tail end of acronyms | 19:37 |
| foobarry | hmm, my lid doesn't suspend the laptop anymore | 19:38 |
| shauno | right, "real ale train train" | 19:38 |
| * zmoylan-pi leaves these common redundancies... http://grammar.about.com/od/words/a/redundancies.htm | 19:38 | |
| popey | I never call it RAT, it's always known as the Beer Train round these parts | 19:42 |
| foobarry | firefox doesn't reflow text on android :( | 19:46 |
| * Laney screams | 19:50 | |
| Laney | took me 9 attempts to type my passphrase just now | 19:51 |
| Laney | emphasis on the phrase | 19:51 |
| foobarry | Alongtimeagoinagalaxyfarfaraway | 19:51 |
| daftykins | Laney: into what? | 19:52 |
| Laney | pinentry dialog | 19:52 |
| Laney | was sighing an email | 19:52 |
| daftykins | signing? | 19:53 |
| * daftykins blinks | 19:53 | |
| Laney | yes very good | 19:53 |
| Laney | if I just type it slower it'll probably take less time overall | 19:53 |
| shauno | well now we can see why the passphrase was a struggle ;) | 19:53 |
| daftykins | XD | 19:54 |
| Laney | right | 19:54 |
| Laney | goodbye! | 19:54 |
| shauno | I keep getting this at work. everytime they make us change our passwords, by time it's muscle-memory it's time to change it again | 19:54 |
| shauno | so I feel like an idiot every single time I sit down | 19:55 |
| daftykins | such policy can only be harmful | 20:00 |
| daftykins | forces folk to pick less complex things i reckon | 20:01 |
| shauno | or entices them to write them down | 20:01 |
| popey | which is a good thing | 20:07 |
| daftykins | wat | 20:07 |
| popey | writing down passwords is a good idea | 20:08 |
| popey | it means you can have very long complex passwords and not worry about forgetting them | 20:08 |
| daftykins | not if they're left in front of the keyboard by users :D | 20:08 |
| popey | I didn't say that :) | 20:08 |
| popey | I write mine down. I tend not to stick it to the screen | 20:08 |
| daftykins | no but i think that's more the scenario we were angling at | 20:08 |
| shauno | I actually have a bunch on a small whiteboard by my desk | 20:08 |
| shauno | a practice I'll quit as soon as they actually fix SSO | 20:09 |
| zmoylan-pi | or one of your neighbours gets a drone... ;-) | 20:09 |
| shauno | heh, I mean at work. they won't need a drone :) | 20:10 |
| zmoylan-pi | i have my passwords written down bottom to top split across 2 pieces of paper. so if you find one... | 20:11 |
| zmoylan-pi | and if you can a glimpse it's gibberish | 20:11 |
| zmoylan-pi | i would use ogham but there's not enough characters :-) | 20:11 |
| shauno | oh I don't bother complicating it at all. if you want to go do my performance appraisals for me, feel free. they're all low-value cruft else they'd be using SSO | 20:12 |
| neuro | EVENIN ALL | 20:13 |
| foobarry | i wonder if password crack dicts have klingon dicts | 20:39 |
| foobarry | bah, my lid closed suspend script worked once only :( | 20:41 |
| zmoylan-pi | it's just a list of words added to their already big lists so yeah... | 20:43 |
