| daftykins | hi | 00:23 |
| diddledan | moobs | 00:26 |
| daftykins | well this is rude, my new disk enclosure has started to be ignored by my xbox one | 00:34 |
| daftykins | directhex: you used any external storage with yours? | 00:34 |
| diddledan | daftykins, it's broke - like I said many times, you attract dead disks | 00:37 |
| zmoylan-pi | and if you plug the external drive into any other system does it work? or does xbox demand some wacky format that only works on xbox? | 01:11 |
| * diddledan plugs his in | 01:18 | |
| diddledan | oh, wait, disks | 01:18 |
| diddledan | ignore me | 01:18 |
| diddledan | this is why chanops need to sleep so that I can get away with norties | 01:19 |
| daftykins | zmoylan-pi: they use funky modifications to a standard GPT to stop PCs reading them outright | 01:21 |
| zmoylan-pi | you can always use rude words from other languages... sassenach... :-) | 01:21 |
| daftykins | a helpful UK chap is helping me hexedit the drive based on my disk dumps of the first 1MB :D | 01:21 |
| diddledan | daftykins, I'll bet that weird loonicks thing can read them | 01:22 |
| diddledan | eep | 01:22 |
| daftykins | that's what i'm using ;) but no it can't | 01:22 |
| diddledan | hexediting is evil at the best of times | 01:22 |
| zmoylan-pi | oooooh, using norton disk util to read someones docs from a wonky disk.... that takes me back... | 01:22 |
| diddledan | dang | 01:22 |
| diddledan | I helped a dude work out what a long-lost game was that he had a photo of himself playing as a kid earlier: https://twitter.com/diddledan/status/664203318378516480 | 01:23 |
| zmoylan-pi | if windows can't read it, then it's some wacky half assed ms layer on top of ntfs deliberately to make xbox look super duper | 01:23 |
| diddledan | I wonder if they just have the filesystem without a partition table? | 01:24 |
| diddledan | it might also be ReFS or Storage Spaces which I don't think linux can handle yet | 01:25 |
| diddledan | somethings tweeting outside | 01:29 |
| diddledan | or chirping | 01:29 |
| daftykins | well i plugged a second disk in and installed halo5 to it, brought it up and my linux lappy read from the backup GPT just fine from it | 01:29 |
| daftykins | so there's a quirk with my first drive | 01:29 |
| === Lcawte is now known as Lcawte|Away | ||
| diddledan | so wily doesn't like my ms surface tablet :-p | 04:11 |
| diddledan | it hangs shortly after booting | 04:12 |
| diddledan | as in hard hang, not a crash | 04:12 |
| daftykins | that fellow is cunning, we got it working by mounting the partition with losetup and an offset | 04:14 |
| daftykins | skipping the partition tables entirely | 04:14 |
| diddledan | \o/ | 04:14 |
| daftykins | aww no wily surfaces for you sir! | 04:14 |
| diddledan | I guess I should just put my wily away :-( | 04:14 |
| daftykins | i think it best | 04:16 |
| daftykins | you know what the neighbours would say | 04:16 |

| marshmn | hi all; AIUI, within the Ubuntu repositories there are fonts available which are not installed by default. Is there some webpage which shows how all of these fonts look, so that I can decide which to install? | 13:57 |
| marshmn | I'm looking for more fonts suitable for headings and things in DTP work | 13:57 |
| popey | I dont think we have such a page | 14:01 |
| davmor2 | marshmn: there should I guess be a preview in software center in theory | 14:09 |

| bashrc_ | is that a Canonical mission statement? | 17:32 |
| diddledan | davmor2, then someone makes a riat | 17:33 |
| diddledan | (she never pronounced that right for some reason) | 17:34 |
| diddledan | maybe she said it as riet, rather than riat. either way it was not riot | 17:35 |
| davmor2 | diddledan: dude you can hardly speak English give the foreigner a break :D | 17:37 |
| diddledan | lol | 17:37 |
| diddledan | good point | 17:37 |
| diddledan | bloomin foreigners being foreign | 17:38 |
| diddledan | doing their foreign things with other foreigners | 17:38 |
| diddledan | you'd think they were just like everyone else the way they behave | 17:38 |

| awilkins | I'm reading that in Bjork's voice now | 18:42 |
| awilkins | It's surprisingly calming | 18:42 |
| diddledan | eep, spiders! | 20:16 |

| ali1234 | no | 23:22 |
| daftykins | a finely reasoned argument as always | 23:23 |
| diddledan_ | I don't like that adblock has deals with the advertisers to not block everything | 23:23 |
| ali1234 | i do | 23:23 |
| ali1234 | i also like that adblock is now providing an alternative to mozilla on android | 23:24 |
