lotuspsychjeimagine android would run it, bad nightmare00:03
lotuspsychjehackers taking over your home00:04
TJ-Ironic how they write "Mycroft is always listening" in the same sentence as saying it needs to be constantly connected to 'the cloud' ... so any slight outage, its dumb00:04
Bashing-omI am going to keep and use my desk top !00:05
lotuspsychjei really dont like clouds and internet of things00:05
lotuspsychjesame here Bashing-om00:05
TJ-I don't mind IoT in the sense of having devices able to pass data and perform tasks under my control; I don't agree with the expectation of them being able to connect outside the local network00:06
lotuspsychjeyeah thats always a security flaw00:06
lotuspsychjeTJ-: and lets say the kid branches infected usb to the 'internet of things'-device, local net also infected00:06
TJ-I don't understand the mind-set of the majority that don't realise 'cloud' is such a threat to their personal information - until after they've been compromised00:07
lotuspsychjeTJ-: did you hear about the siri ios9 flaw00:08
TJ-lotuspsychje: I don't may much attention to Apple specifics, but I vaguely recall a few mentions over the years00:09

TJ-lotuspsychje: I *think* systemd includes a readahead function itself00:19
HackerIIby default ?00:19
lotuspsychjeTJ-: would it conflict with preload you think?00:19
lotuspsychjeHackerII: preload is optional, so needs install00:20
TJ-lotuspsychje: I'm not sure what preload does.00:20
lotuspsychjeTJ-: try it out :p00:20

HackerIIubuntu 6.0600:30
lotuspsychjesame digital generation flows in our blood00:31

HackerIIwent from win2k pro to ubuntu00:31
lotuspsychjelol i had xp for dinner few years :p00:31
HackerIITJ-, , have you seen what you have to sign and allow them to do for usimg it ?00:31
HackerIIyou sign over your cam and mic00:32
TJ-HackerII: but you have a choice. VMware is actively stealing code from Linux kernel and refusing to abide by the GPL00:32
HackerIIagreed00:32
TJ-I hope they lose in the court case; that'd really shake things up since with the GPL v2 any breach cancels the licence totally00:33
HackerIIif the judge isnt bought off, they will00:33
TJ-Unlikely in Germany00:35

lotuspsychjeHackerII: yes its trading, bt not one2one00:37
HackerIIi c00:38
lotuspsychjeHackerII: i bake bread for you: 60 coins, you use the 60 coins to buy apples from someone else00:38
lotuspsychjeetc00:38
HackerIInice, the way the paper currency is going, barter will be the next currency00:38
lotuspsychjeyou can also go under the limit -2500 +250000:38
TJ-lotuspsychje: In the UK we have vey active local groups that offer their unwanted property free of charge rather than dumping it.00:39

lotuspsychjeits also using elas opensource system00:41
lotuspsychjeto keep your coins/transactions online in a list00:41
lotuspsychjeso you can give/accept virtual coins00:42
HackerIIbasically, thats like the stock market, if you have 2 cats @ 50k a piece, and i have 1 dog @ 100k, we trade, and no one makes anything00:42
lotuspsychjeyeah the business coprs do this system long time already00:42
HackerIIim making fun of the stock market here00:42
lotuspsychjecontainer potatoes trade container bikes00:42
lotuspsychjeno $$$ for each00:43
HackerIIunless your a congress member, then you get to rip off the general public with insider trading00:43
lotuspsychjelol00:43
lotuspsychjepolitics..those guys need to be thought a hard life lesson00:43
HackerIIits coming00:44
lotuspsychjewe need to go all to basics again00:44

HackerIIseems that would bring folks who like to argue economics00:45
lotuspsychjethe thought everyone needs to work till 60 for small pension $$ is dead00:45
lotuspsychjeeveryone wants to combine quality life time now00:45
HackerIIwell,with paper with nothing backing it, it cant win anyway00:46
HackerIIdebt is the new currency00:46
lotuspsychjeyep00:46
lotuspsychjethey invented debt to keep us low00:46
HackerIIthey socially re-engineered folks to accept that, if you dont have credit (debt) you are a no body00:46
lotuspsychjebut they didnt think we have the powers to turn the system00:47
HackerIIthats what created the housing bubble00:47
HackerIIall bubbles to be truthful00:47
lotuspsychjein few years the old thinking generation will die00:47
lotuspsychjeand we will stand up00:47
HackerIIalmost gone now00:47

HackerIIits conditioning through public schooling and tv00:48
lotuspsychjeyep00:48

HackerIIthe people who own the printing press, own those institutions that engineer society00:49
lotuspsychjecant hide the truth anymore in the aquarius age00:49
HackerIIrothchilds said, " give me control of a nations money, and i care not who writes their laws"00:49
TJ-I find the youngsters in university right now are actually pretty clued up about the problems; the folks wilfully ignoring them seem to be 40+ and happy with their personal status-quo00:50
HackerIIwell, the 401k and retirin g pention funds are next to go00:51

wileeemyth underlies many areas old and new00:52
TJ-Both monetarily, and environmentally00:52
HackerIIloaning paper with interest which is printed out of nothing, creates debt that can not go away, its  by design, the imf is the long arm of the federal reserve which is foreign banks, private companies00:53

lotuspsychjeor c6401:23
TJ-The new micro-x86 architecture might help them, but once they sold off the fabs they lost control of their own destiny01:23
daftykinsTJ-: yeah, destined to play catch up now :(01:24
HackerIIthe reason i dont use intel is, what they do and are doing01:24
TJ-and reliant on the Fabs giving them capacity and R&D resources, and doing the investment for process shrink01:24
TJ-HackerII: what are you referring to?01:26
HackerIIthe evilness of microsoft01:26
daftykinswe're talking about intel and AMD, you can't swing it around to MS :P01:27

lotuspsychjeTJ-: good evening18:26
TJ-Hiya :)18:28
TJ-Been a good day - away from technology :)18:29
lotuspsychjegreat18:29
lotuspsychjesame here, was pretty sunny too18:29
lotuspsychjehttp://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Ubuntu-Ubiquity-New-UI18:31
TJ-Style over substance once again! They should devote some resources to fixing the bugs in ubiquity and debian-installer, and adding more functionality18:36
Bashing-omlotuspsychje: Back in-channel. lemme look at the ailment :)18:36
TJ-My feet are tingling because I've been out with bare feet around the fields and stung by nettles; feels like they're thawing out on a cold day :)18:37
Bashing-omlotuspsychje: Looks like it is going to be a Monday !18:39
Bashing-omTJ-: Practicing to become a "hill-biily" ?.. keep on bare foot'n, uou will develop immunity . I do speak from experience ( Qualified Arkansas ridge runner - I am expected to be bare footed ) .18:42
TJ-Bashing-om: I've been doing since I was a baby ... hot shower tends to make it more noticeable18:43
TJ-Most of the time there are too many thorns in the grass to go fully bare-foot, but I was mowing a path through the nettle patches around one of the fields where the dogs run - Pepper has sensitive feet and hates having them stung :)18:45
Bashing-omTJ-: I m still stuck at "  hot shower tends to make it more noticeable " it referring to the tingling feet ? Or --- what my mind conceives . We live on a black top road, had to put our dogs behind fences ... dang it !18:49
TJ-yeah... hot showers makes the tingling much more noticable :)18:51
TJ-Our Huskies aren't allowed out the yard without supervision, but we've got ~1000 acres and there's one 63 acre field they love to explore (rabbits, hares, mice, voles, foxes, badgers, Herons, gulls, etc.). We have a lane between the house and the field so I keep them on-leash to get to it.18:52
lotuspsychjeTJ-: you live in north pole? :p18:56
TJ-Haha fortunately not - they'd never come out the Igloo if we did, they're so comfort-seeking18:58

wileee:)19:46
TJ-FYI: Many Acer E15 UEFI systems have a firmware bug. The issue manifests as an installed Linux not being visible in the UEFI boot menu, despite the OS 'efibootmgr -v' showing an entry, and the boot files being in the EFI-SP. The cause is due to Acer introducing a concept of 'trusted' boot exectuables. In Setup, on the Security menu, is the option "Select an UEFI file as trusted for executing:" which21:02
TJ-brings up a file-chooser dialog. That needs to be used to select the grubx64.efi and/or shimx64.efi. To use the Chooser requires SecureBoot being enabled, and to have SecureBoot enabled requires a supoervisor password being set for UEFI Setup. Once the executables are set to be trusted SecureBoot can be disabled.21:02
daftykinsTJ-: ah i spotted that one in that last guys screenshots!21:05
daftykinsugh Acer have made life very difficult21:05
TJ-Was it barjac? I was helping him last night in #grub and he's just reported back with success21:06
daftykinsalthough that was an E11, hmm21:07
daftykinsnah before the weekend at least21:07
daftykinsi'm not good at the passage of time :D21:07
TJ-Yes, I recall that one too. This is another instance of the same issue.21:09
TJ-Nasty firmware bug too - Linux/GRUB gets the blame21:09
daftykinsbtw you guys traceroute'd 'bad.horse' yet? :)21:10
TJ-there used to be a 100-hop version for Star Wars21:29
daftykins:)22:14
JanCTJ-: I've seen a lot of worse firmware weirdness than that  :)22:38
TJ-JanC: yeah, me too, but this seems to be a recent phenomenon or else there's a rush of users repurposing them to Linux22:39
JanClike the internal NIC not being visible if you enable Secure Boot22:39
JanCnot sure anyone found a way around that yet22:40
JanCit's on Toshiba laptops22:40
TJ-That makes sense of course22:40
JanCTJ-: I mean the internal NIC not being visible, even after booting :)22:41
TJ-JanC: oooo, that's neat!22:41
TJ-JanC: I'd have thought there'd be a method in the ACPI DSDT to enable it, but might only be available to Windows22:42
JanCand I would understand an external NIC not being visible, but an internal one could have a checksummed firmware or whatever22:42
JanCTJ-: possible22:42
JanCsigned firmware22:43
JanCI haven't tested that one with the latest kernel22:44
TJ-It does sound like an oversight bug22:44
TJ-I usually disassemble the DSDT, look at the OSI strings and what the config flags value associated with each is (Windows 2012 usually has the most functions enabled), and then check the Methods to see whether the power-control methods are active when OSI=Linux22:45
JanCthe Asus EEE PC 900 netbooks also had a nice "feature" where you had to enable a cryptic feature "First Boot" in the BIOS if you wanted to boot from any external drive22:46
TJ-I blame the Chinglese translations :)22:47
JanClike, you could put external USB devices before the internal SSD in the boot order, but it would just ignore that without that switch enabled  :)22:48
JanCTJ-: would have been nice if it came with Chinglese docs  :P22:48
TJ-:)22:49
TJ-I thought they mostly were already22:49
JanCmost computers come without any firmware docs at all these days22:49
TJ-right! I'm going to get to bed before midnight... 5am was bad last night!22:49
TJ-JanC: yeah, the bane of my life.22:50
JanCso Chinglese would be an improvement22:50
TJ-Luckily most UEFI is based on EDK2 so its not too difficult to infer what's what22:50
JanCTJ-: haha, sounds like we went to sleep around the same time, except, I'm 1 hour ahead of you  ;-)22:51
TJ-I waited up to see the 'supermoon' eclipse... to find fog and 10 metre visibility here22:51
JanC:)22:52
JanCor :(22:52
JanCI was reading news sites and watching a couple of episodes of Humans22:52
TJ-Night night. I'm gone.22:52
JanCslaapwel!22:53
daftykinstoo many cooks ~23:50
wileeea bad one at that23:50
daftykins:D23:51
