[08:25] Have dug out my bog standard £10 Microsoft Wheelmouse Optical [08:25] Middle button is a microswitch [08:26] Say what you like about their software, they do a good job browbeating third party manufacturers into making very decent peripherals [08:54] diddledan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpYeekQkAdc this is stuck in my head today [08:55] * awilkins has a parcel [08:55] https://goo.gl/photos/MbsnLPQ8LdQi2Vyu7 [08:55] steam controller?

[10:39] directhex: both [10:39] bah! [10:39] https://twitter.com/bigcalm/status/654960478645522432 [10:39] jelly [10:40] You pointed me at the 3 item purchase on game.co.uk. I thought you would have bought the same [10:40] i ordered the same in-store [10:40] for pickup [10:41] popey: tally ho [10:43] directhex: ah [10:50] Laney: hey dude I can hear you like you are in the same room and you keep it down a bit ;) [10:50] bigcalm, Thought that was a life-size R2-D2 for a moment, next to a big amp [10:50] Heh [10:50] HELLO HASH UBUNTU DASH UK [10:51] laney :) [10:52] ▌ ▜▜ ▌ ▐ ▌ [10:52] ▛▀▖▞▀▖▐▐ ▞▀▖ ▟▟▖▌ ▌▛▀▖▌ ▌▛▀▖▜▀ ▌ ▌▄▄▖▌ ▌▌▗▘ [10:52] ▌ ▌▛▀ ▐▐ ▌ ▌ ▟▟▖▌ ▌▌ ▌▌ ▌▌ ▌▐ ▖▌ ▌ ▌ ▌▛▚ [10:52] ▘ ▘▝▀▘ ▘▘▝▀ ▝▝ ▝▀▘▀▀ ▝▀▘▘ ▘ ▀ ▝▀▘ ▝▀▘▘ ▘ [10:52] * zmoylan-pi cups ear [10:52] WHAT? [10:53] directhex: Laney will confirm that looks well messed up in xchat [10:53] use a mono font then [10:59] I can confirm that looks silly in xchat with Ubuntu font (not mono) [11:00] who uses irc on a non-mono font? *silly* [11:00] looks very 80s in irssi on my pi [11:07] diddledan: I'm using ubuntu mono it looks well messed up [11:20] Steam controller on Linux : so far, odd but interesting [11:20] Registers as 5 input devices [11:20] One mouse, one keyboard, one other HID, and two other inputs [11:20] typing emails now a challenge :-) [11:21] At first I thought the right touchpad was way oversensitive [11:21] But it may have been because I had a meathook on it when I plugged the cable in [11:22] Because it clicks when you move, it was sounding like a demented geiger counter that responded to my personal electric field [11:22] Replugged it and it's no longer mental [11:53] 1st weirdness found [11:53] The Steam Link is displaying my whole desktop. That is 3 monitors worth [11:53] So the big picture mode screen is not actually taking up the full screen [11:53] bigcalm: hahahaha [11:54] Maybe it'll fair better when I reboot into Windows after work [11:55] bigcalm: do you only have it on one screen then? [11:55] davmor2: yes. Remember that of my 3 screens, the middle one is rotated [11:55] This gives a very weird desktop res [11:56] I was expecting only one screen to be streamed to the TV [11:58] bigcalm: yeah it is possibly just streaming x you can ofcourse just turn the other screens off I guess [11:58] All unexpected [11:58] bigcalm: as in, in the settings rather than physically [11:58] I'll try streaming from my laptop, that has just the 1 screen :) [11:59] beeping mouse? [11:59] mt === alan_g is now known as alan_g|lunch [12:27] Ansible have been bought by Redhat :) === Matrixiumn is now known as Xack [12:50] Is that a good/bad thing? [12:50] Good thing I think bigcalm [12:50] Good, then [12:50] :) [12:50] More resources etc, can't see them dropping support for other os's [12:50] although who knows [12:52] Wonder if they will push in Windows host support [12:52] Doubt it though [12:52] they'll soon be ansible to Redhat then... *whistle* === alan_g|lunch is now known as alan_g === Matrixiumn is now known as Xack [13:03] There has been talk of windows sipport for a long time [13:04] support* [13:04] and daftykins *groan* [13:04] aww c'mon [13:04] i liked it [13:04] :D [13:04] +1 friday humour point for daftykins [13:04] yaaay \o/ [13:05] hehe [13:05] Best AV for windows now ( cheap or free ) [13:06] http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/10/windows-10-upgrade-installing-automatically-on-some-windows-7-8-systems/ [13:06] oof [13:06] MSE is supposedly rubbish now [13:06] yeah i've been fighting that at clients recently [13:06] Yeah we were talking about that a couple of weeks ago [13:06] i'd deleted and hidden the 'get windows 10' update, but the little blighter is sneaking its' way back on [13:07] install win10 before win10 installs you [13:10] i belive ms has apologised for this flamingo up, they didn't say if they were going to help people roll back to the os they want though [13:11] stock answer is "restore your backup" as it should be [13:11] the way i've seen it so far, a user would have to go to the windows update program and hit ok with 'windows 10' selected to install [13:11] in fact, even on patch tuesday it sneakily keeps all the patches unchecked and just the windows 10 item ticked [13:11] does restore your back up restore the recovery partition to it's pre win10 state? [13:19] I think it stores your old winders in a c:\old_winders folder [13:20] yep ^ [13:20] pretty much the whole original C: just gets moved in [13:21] ooh-err this puts a dampener on my plans for Spain - http://arstechnica.co.uk/business/2015/10/bbc-begins-blocking-vpn-access-to-iplayer/ [13:22] i'm sure someone has coded up an alternative workaround already :-) [13:22] Your plans for Spain were to watch TV? [13:23] SENORITAS [13:23] WINE, FOOD AND SENORITAS [13:23] while sitting by pool using tablet for geek cred :-) [13:24] awilkins: clients holiday home, my thoughts were the same as to why he wants to watch TV and not just enjoy the place :P [13:24] hmm looks like it might just be common VPN providers, it's still working fine for me VPN'ing through my VPS with digitalocean [13:26] they are getting better at cracking down on vpns all the time, you'd hate to have to rustle up a workaround when you sit down to watch some eastenders... [13:30] I can route things through my home router I supose [13:31] 6Mbit/s is enough for basic streaming right? [13:31] Even big pretty full SD DVB-T streams are only like 15Mbit/s [13:33] our problem down here is a dynamic IP, i don't fancy relying on something through the home too [13:33] so i'm gonna try it with this digitalocean VPS to start with [13:34] worked just now from here at least, with the iplayer website [13:34] my challenge is to come up with something easy to use that could show the live streams ideally [13:43] ah excellent found a working addon with Kodi [13:44] wow impressive quality too [13:48] lol @ ubuntu podcast - "apparently the reason I was so bad at reading was because I couldn't see anything" [13:48] ooh, and battlebus [13:48] for oggcamp === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte [14:10] Anybody not got Portal 2? I have a steam activation code for it going spare [14:15] Sam doesn't :) [14:15] popey: did you pre-order the steam link? [14:15] no [14:15] Then Sam can have my code [14:15] * popey hugs bigcalm [14:15] thanks [14:16] :D [14:16] he loves portal [14:16] would be fun to play 2 player [14:16] Yus [14:16] I'd like to try that again some time [14:16] +1 [14:16] mmm 'tis fun that [14:45] Free Portal2 from steam controller? [14:45] * awilkins is going to reboot and play Rocket League [14:45] Since they gave it away with the controller I'm presuming that it plays really nicely on it [14:46] Just as soon as my Windows VM stops installing upgrade [14:46] Updates [14:46] *sigh* [14:52] you need to boot it more often so it can do its' thing ;) [14:52] my windows 10 machine wakes up randomly [14:52] i do wonder if it's doing that to check for updates [14:53] Probs [14:54] And report it's collected findings to MS [14:54] The ones it gathers while it's not running [14:54] Because it's that good at it [14:54] popey, my dad's is doing that, too [14:55] problem is they don't seem to turn off again afterwards [14:55] it would be ok to start a desktop to check for updates and then turn off again, but a laptop not plugged-in AND not turning off again after is a pain [14:56] (some folk have their systems to not idle to sleep because they often leave it doing big tasks) [14:57] oh mine does [14:58] not on/off though, I'm talking about waking from suspend, then it goes back to sleep [15:03] any good alternatives to lastpass ? [15:03] keepass? [15:03] keepass. [15:04] piece of paper pass. [15:04] keypass is windows using dotnet [15:04] Oh? [15:04] and keypassx seems to lack syncing [15:04] I wonder how I've used it on Android and Ubuntu for years, then [15:05] using rsync abs crontab to sync the database [15:05] and, even [15:05] keepass2, to be precise [15:05] there is keypass1 on linux which is running in wine from what i can tell [15:06] surprised seahorse does not have similar capabilities [15:09] Keepass2 is written in mono I believe ? [15:10] yes it is and you have to install a load of dlls to install it [15:10] felt like the type of app some one would have made a native open source version of [15:12] sudo apt-get install keepass2 [15:12] Done and dusted [15:12] Works out of the box [15:20] hum, not in my repos :/ [15:22] you have special non-ubuntu repos? :) [15:23] I just have standard ubuntu 15.04 with the usual repos like universe enabled [15:24] ah well you only have a few months left of that :) [15:24] That's how I installed it I'm sure oly [15:24] Running 15.04 fresh install [15:27] iain-Alienware-X51 ~ $ apt-cache search keepass [15:27] keepass2 - Password manager [15:27] # [15:27] -# [15:27] my bad typo :/ [15:27] I am on Ubuntu 14.04 [16:14] comeplete lunacy: http://www.weebls-stuff.com/other-toons/video/rescuewhale3.html [16:18] WTF? [16:19] Amusing [16:20] :-p [16:20] it's modern-day python mayhaps? [16:20] I haven't watched any of Weebl's stuff for some time [16:20] I only watch when they send me an email [16:21] I signed up to their yahoo mailing list way back in the dark ages and never stopped [16:23] I like weebl's music under the bandname "savlonic" [16:23] I bought their kickstarted album a while back [16:26] :D === alan_g is now known as alan_g|EOD === willcooke_ is now known as willcooke === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away [17:47] hah, I think virgin just slashdotted themselves [17:47] got an email pointing me to http://store.virginmedia.com/special-offers/faster-broadband.html <-- it's giving 503 temporarily unavailable [17:56] diddledan: works here :) [17:56] vivid [17:56] yeah it's working now [17:58] still saying they're not gonna upgrade me till at least april :-( [18:07] diddledan: which speed jump is this one referring to? [18:07] the one to 200 [18:07] ish [18:09] ah yeah === Seeker` is now known as Seeker [22:55] i just stitched together a panoramic snap of my pics from the weekend - https://www.dropbox.com/s/5oqutkua3569u8f/hill_pano.jpg?dl=0 [22:57] nice [23:03] https://www.dropbox.com/s/fa4aotoq5h9fl3p/hilltop_pano.jpg?dl=0 [23:03] there's another! [23:08] i've taken a few panoramas but i always have the feeling they'll only ever look good when immersive vr is easily available and the images are insanely high megapixels... [23:26] whaaa? apparently playboy are going to stop publishing nude pictures [23:27] diddledan: yeah. they already did on the website [23:27] http://www.theverge.com/2015/10/13/9517993/playboy-stops-nudity [23:28] diddledan: the interesting thing that happened when they did that is not that the average age of visitors dropped from 47 to 30. it's that traffic quadrupled [23:28] people really honestly *will* only read playboy for the articles [23:30] aye
