mapps;]13:11
zmoylan-pio/13:15
mappshow could i block all gambling sites and make it so i cant access them13:18
mappsim serious13:18
diploEdit /etc/hosts and change all the domains to 127 ?13:24
diploBlock them via your router if it has that option13:24
mappsbut i can then change it mysellf13:24
diploBut you have to physically do it, which should work with you alerting yourself13:25
diploIf you're going to change it, I'd go to see a hypnotherapist, gammbling anonymous or something along those lines if you don't have the will power and you're in charge of your machine / router you obviously don't have the self will to not do it and get around your circumventions13:26
diploThose things are not bad things, just giving options13:26
diploI had a member of staff who couldn't stop visiting certain sites so I did the hosts thing on his windows machine, just having the block there was enough for him to understand it had become an issue13:27
mappsyea13:27
zmoylan-picould you change it so router blocks it and give the password to a mate so you can't undo it?13:33
popeymapps, ask the sites you visit to do self-exclusion13:40
mappsi try but always un self exclude13:42
popeyget help13:42
diploI know this is an ubuntu channel but... :D I want to download the EPEL CentOS 4 packages to have as a backup, yes I know it is EOL13:59
diploNormal option would be to use rsync, but that's not supported on 4 packages14:00
diploHow would anyone else do it, wget mirror ?14:00
popeyno idea, never used centos, so no idea how packages are served14:01
diplo:) - I'd rather not :)14:01
diploRead on other repos that wget is actively discouraged but no other option apart from rsync/reposync which doesn't work :P all good fun14:02
directhexis anyone currently seeding my steamos fork, stephenson's rocket? i have a new release i need to switch seeders onto15:34

diddledan__bigcalm: how do you get irc emails?15:39
bigcalmdirecthex: I haven't recently seeded it. Happy to do so again though. Got the torrent link?15:39
directhexbigcalm: it's fastest for you to grab via http then seed, IME15:39
bigcalmdiddledan__: I use away proxy for irssi15:40

directhexwasn't kidding about unprecedented, i never push more than 100k on torrent uploads from my desktop. BT throttles i assume15:41
daftykinsdirecthex: have you got another web link to snatch it and boost the torrent?15:41
directhexdamn google drive that was supposed to be a public link15:42

bashrc_got one more person onto ubuntu last weekend. Some initial grumbling, but once they realized they could still use the same apps they were ok with it15:52
daftykinsthey can't have used much then15:53
bashrc_whenever there is a Windows disaster I always use that to try to get people onto ubuntu15:53
bashrc_no, I'd class them as a basic user. Email (thunderbird) firefox and a working printer and they were done15:54
daftykinsoh so they didn't use anything non-native15:54
* zmoylan-pi is giving vivaldi browser a spin and not hating it...15:54
daftykinsyou put them on LTS so they don't have to experience the more regular ubuntu disasters? :)15:54
davmor2zmoylan-pi: give ubuntu-browser a go :)15:55
zmoylan-pii think i tried that at one point...15:55

zmoylan-piyou want irssi with green text on a black background so you can irc in the dark wearing a balaclava for maximum daily mail hackerness ;-)17:14

daftykinsczajkowski: if you've not already, i didn't know that one but "/layout save" is a neat one for keeping a set order18:41
czajkowskidaftykins: aye so I've tried18:48
czajkowskibut somewhere in my evil config it has me joining to rooms18:48
daftykinso018:48
czajkowskiand no matter my editing it still autjoins me to them18:48
daftykinshow rude!18:49
czajkowskiI know!18:50
czajkowskithere are channels really I don't want to go bac kto18:50
daftykinsi never learnt the command set in irssi, i just manage my joins by editing the config directly XD18:50

Myrtti/channel add -noauto #channel network23:04
czajkowskiahh23:05
czajkowskiMyrtti: you're amzing thank you23:05
daftykinsi'm sure that was in the manual :)23:06
Myrttinot really23:07
daftykinsyes23:07
Myrttiwell, kinda, but you need to know how to read the manual23:07
Myrttiif you're referring to /help channel23:08
czajkowskiwow there was still autojoins from my canonical time23:08
MyrttiJust had a mint aero. That was nicer than I thought23:08
czajkowskiwow that is super useful thank you Myrtti23:08
czajkowskiMyrtti: one more question, is there a way to also remove the list of channels from /channel list23:10
czajkowskithe ocd tidy kicks in23:11
czajkowskiso they're removed from autojoin but still show up on list23:11
Myrttidoing the command above should do it23:11
Myrtti/channel list is a list of channels you've got configured23:12
Myrttinot necessarily a list you've got autojoins for23:12
czajkowskiahh I see23:13
Myrttiif you want them totally gone, /channel remove #channel network23:15
Myrttidon't forget to /layout save and /save23:15
czajkowskinods23:17
