[00:03] i have bought a copy of playboy, it had a new short story by one of my favourite authors in it. an a.c.clarke story. [00:17] yeah mean they print intellectual literature? [00:18] some important news and literature was printed there. but we only remember the nudity now [00:21] http://www.toptenz.net/top-10-writers-published-in-playboy.php [01:00] I wonder how much faster I can make my raid array by actually thinking about things like stride and stripe width of the filesystem and array [01:01] atm the ext4 system is set to 128/128 for stride/stripe whereas it should ideally be 128/384 (4 discs, raid5) [01:02] and the raid5 stripe width is 512K [01:02] that is ofc if my maths is correct [01:03] the block size of ext4 is 4k so 4*128 = 512 [01:03] ref: https://raid.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/RAID_setup#Options_for_mke2fs [01:04] maybe while I'm rebuilding it I should butter it? [01:04] what's the current consensus over btrfs? [01:42] has there been a delay in getting wily release candidate out the door? [01:42] or are we not doing rc's? [01:42] the release schedule says it should have landed on thursday [01:43] odd. this page contradicts that tho: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf/ReleaseTaskSignup [02:24] oct 16 for release candidate according to http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/10/05/ubuntu_15_10_beta_two_review/ [02:24] maybe theyre counting with west coast usa time zone... [02:25] still only 1925 there... [02:37] * diddledan watches the clock [02:58] you should get a soviet clock and you'd never be lonely again :-P [02:59] in soviet russia, time clocks you (upside the head, then ties lead weights to your ankles, and throws you in the river) [03:01] no no that's only if you touch their car... http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/oct/16/russian-driver-throws-pedestrian-into-canal-for-touching-car [03:01] (that's actually a paraphrase from Terry Pratchett referring to Ankh Morpork: "In some parts of the city, curiosity didn't just kill the cat, it threw it in the river with lead weights tied to its feet.") [03:04] but in ankh morpork that would just slow the cat down as it tried to run across the surface... [03:32] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeiI8cd5rO4 [03:46] is it sad that i think the soviet pcs on this site look cooler than modern pcs... http://rbth.co.uk/multimedia/pictures/2014/04/07/before_the_internet_top_11_soviet_pcs_35711 [03:47] lol [03:47] yeah, but you like ancient tech as evidenced by your dumbphone fetish [03:48] you say that like it's a bad thing :-) [03:48] lol [03:48] how do you expect to get hacked when you run obsolete technology that modern haxx0rs haven't even heard of?! [03:49] they'll just at the 5.25" floppy and their malware laden usb drive :-D [03:49] *just look [03:49] I've got a 5.25" floppy drive hooked up to this pc [03:49] kinky.... [03:49] via usb [03:49] :-p [03:51] i remember around 2000 my boss issuing an edict to ditch every 5.25" drive in the office, we were done, no more 5.25". [03:51] so we recycled the last 2-3 pcs that had them. [03:52] the very next day i had to restore a backup from 5.25"... [03:52] luckily i had hidden one under my desk.... :-) [03:52] haha === zmoylan-1i is now known as zmoylan-pi [08:59] morning boys and girls. [09:02] paint it back is a paid picross game? [10:00] anyone using cyanogen 12.1? [10:00] have a couple of weird issues [10:18] 1) receiving a call doesn't show the caller, just the dialler notification, and i have to double tap the notification to see who's calling. dailler is allowed to show notifications on my lock screen [10:18] 2) random reboots while doing things while walking between wifi<->3g [12:13] Interesting.. tried the real nvdia [tested, not with updates] driver. Window moves / resizes were jerky, no real improvement in Steam games frame rate. Now back to using Nouveau. Life is good again. [12:15] we need to get linus to send another message to nvidia? :-) [12:16] haha [12:22] or for halloween we could get 50 geeks dressed as linus to stand outside their hq [12:23] YIKES! [12:24] Thinking of video stuff, what would stop working if I removed flash plugin, would Firefox be able to cope? [12:24] probably go faster... :-) [12:25] Would poo-tube stioll work [12:25] a lot of sites might get broken though... [12:25] darn! [12:25] i thought they hadn't converted all their videos to html5 yet [12:26] that, unfortunately, is what [12:26] ...I thought as well [12:26] * zmoylan-pi wonders how old that nugget is... ::goes to check:: === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte [12:46] Hey folks, just installed Xubuntu 15.10, added xorg edgers and installed nvidia-340. It doesn't seem to be working. I get an error in xorg.log which isn't so useful. http://paste.ubuntu.com/12817788/ any ideas? [13:03] looks like the driver didn't get built [13:04] I just realised 340 isn't the latest, I believe 352 is? trying with that as we speak [13:04] did you reboot? [13:04] yup [13:05] is dkms missing perhaps? [13:05] aha, 352 fixed it, my bad [13:06] yey [13:06] I did apt-cache search nvidia and picked the newer one, for some reason the nvidia drivers show up in two separate groups in the results [13:08] I'm getting some real bizarre behaviour, I just got my new monitors in, I thought perhaps a fresh install would solve it but nope [13:09] I occasionally can't type at all on the login screen (so I can't login) and I have one monitor flickering on and off sometimes [13:10] I can't even ctrl+alt+F1, although I can alt+sysreq+b [13:51] woa I think I got it working, I had a brain wave and realised that I'd swapped out everything except one thing, the DP cable. [13:52] now everything seems to be magically working [13:54] Does anybody know how the Win 8.1>Win10 upgrade works in conjunction with grub? Does it remove the grub bootloader,or does it still leave the grub bootloader in place [13:54] yes it will [13:55] right, so grub reinstall is necessary [13:58] howdy all [13:59] * DJones hands MooDoo a cowboy hat, boots and sits him on a robo steer [13:59] yehaa! [14:00] :) [14:02] MooDoo: Looks like its time for a song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTymtAbaG08 [14:04] Damm.... When did Lee Marvin becoome a singing star [14:05] Oh yeah, its Wandering star [14:05] as soon as you said lee marvin, I knew what the song was :D [14:05] Heh [14:06] I don't if its my age, upbringing, or what, but this song always gets to me [14:07] Apart from that,I can't think of anything else he's know for singing [14:08] Even worse, I love the links from that youtube video [14:35] is there any cdrom sized iso of ubuntu? [14:55] get the server ISO, then install the desktop task [15:14] miniubuntu ftw [15:15] I'm installing on an old laptop, which can't boot from USB or DVD, but can boot from cdrom [15:43] wtf? http://www.staples.ca/en/PlayStation-Plus-12-Month-Subscription-Card/product_1618694_2-CA_1_20001 [15:43] that doesn't make any sense [16:44] Where has the last 3 hours gone....youtube.....bluegrass music, Oh Yeah :) [17:31] evening all [17:32] evening MooDoo [17:32] :) [17:35] :) [18:03] HI;D [18:10] ug windy and rainy here [19:00] we've had to put the heating on tonight for an hour or so for the kids [19:01] MooDoo: Whats uo, where they not cooking well enough in the the oven [19:02] s/uo/up [19:02] Slow cooking is good, especially with gravy etc [19:09] lol [21:52] hey all, been on my wanderings again, south-west Guernsey this time [21:52] https://www.dropbox.com/s/p5ibnpp8s9m20wb/IMG_20151017_174326.jpg?dl=0 [21:52] :) [21:53] that's a beautiful view westward toward the Houmet Lighthouse (pronounced hoo-may) [22:00] nice sunset [22:02] 'twas! [23:55] http://imgur.com/e5WiRVo I think I have enough pixels now [23:55] Azelphur: Not bad :-) How many of those are 4k ? [23:55] all of them [23:55] naaaaaah [23:56] Azelphur: impressive :-) [23:56] is that a large radiator all the fans are on? [23:56] for water coolings [23:56] daftykins: yup [23:56] CPU only, or graphics card(s) too? [23:57] Azelphur: What are the monitors? [23:57] daftykins: cpu only right now [23:57] penguin42: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-AMH-A409U-UHD-40-3840X2160-16-9-4K-LED-Monitor-60Hz-DP1-2-HDMI2-0-Remote-/321856997207 [23:57] the setup still isn't complete, I have some more stuff to do over the next week which will make things a little better :) [23:58] oh wow, didn't quite get the scale - those are 40?
