[01:42] <lotuspsychje> good (early) morning to all
[01:47] <lotuspsychje> interesting: http://news.softpedia.com/news/debian-based-robolinux-8-2-lxde-linux-os-lets-you-run-windows-10-virus-free-496171.shtml
[02:32] <lotuspsychje> cfhowlett: good morning mate
[02:34] <lotuspsychje> support is pretty active cfhowlett but we have a volunteer est31 that i find a bit misinformed
[02:34] <lotuspsychje> you see that guy before?
[02:45] <OerHeks> he is on my ignore, a troll.
[02:45] <lotuspsychje> ah tnx OerHeks but he's been 'helping' false info all night
[02:47] <cfhowlett> I just entered, but I did get that vibe off him pretty quickly.
[02:47] <cfhowlett> will continue to observe
[02:48] <lotuspsychje> ok
[02:48] <lotuspsychje> i saw wileee arguing with him too earlier
[02:48] <lotuspsychje> si lets be warned
[02:48] <lotuspsychje> so
[02:48] <OerHeks> it is not a community minded person, i in team.
[02:49] <lotuspsychje> OerHeks: such fellas should not support then
[02:57] <Bashing-om> Well ! I am surprised est31 / sruli .
[02:59]  * cfhowlett wonders why anyone would seek medical health, especially pregnancy, in an irc channel ...
[03:00] <OerHeks> not the #c++ channel i guess
[03:01] <lotuspsychje> Bashing-om: howso?
[03:01] <OerHeks> wait .. dr. phil !
[03:06] <Bashing-om> lotuspsychje: Honestly , I was of the opinion that est31 had his head in a dark place .
[03:06] <lotuspsychje> Bashing-om: indeed
[03:44] <cfhowlett> !ops ??
[03:44] <daftykins> indeed :/
[04:14] <cfhowlett> ok, we bein' trolled here or what???
[04:16] <cfhowlett> yeah, I think troll mentality confirmed.  /ignore applied
[04:17] <daftykins> wow.
[04:17] <daftykins> just... wow.
[04:17] <cfhowlett> I must have missed the ending.  "Screw this, I'm going back to windows!"???
[04:19] <daftykins> apparently i'm a fed because i asked what he used a VPN for.
[04:19]  * daftykins shakes his head
[04:19] <daftykins> "this is officer kins, i need your IP right now"
[04:20] <cfhowlett> so I take it he exited in a huff?
[04:22] <daftykins> yeah :S proper rage quit
[04:22] <daftykins> that one was DEFINITELY a teen
[04:23] <cfhowlett> I always think of South Park when Cartman says "Screw you guys, I'm going home!"
[04:23] <cfhowlett> and it takes everything in me to resist the urge to type that message in channel ...
[04:23] <Bashing-om> Sad state of afffairs .. No fun .. I going to sleep it off . Gnight guys .
[04:26] <daftykins> cfhowlett: :D
[04:44] <TJ-> g'morning
[04:46] <daftykins> heya
[04:46] <daftykins> you just missed a doozy ;)
[04:47] <daftykins> ok if i PM a text file link?
[04:47] <TJ-> I'm so glad I was asleep! I've actually got my hours front-to-back at last :)
[04:48] <TJ-> I'll have to start it; I have +g set
[04:48] <daftykins> ah ok
[04:55] <TJ-> Wow! Just did my first test of this InstallShield Z archive extractor I've written on some other archive files I've found listed on a file formats wiki and it extracts them flawlessly
[04:55] <daftykins> excellent :D
[04:56] <daftykins> now if that functionality could be folded into an archive manager that'd be amazing
[04:56] <TJ-> Always good when the code works on something other than the test file
[04:56] <TJ-> That's my aim; I'm turning this into a library + standalone front-end, so it can be called from an archiver
[04:57] <daftykins> ah magic!
[04:57] <TJ-> Which means I have to figure out the best API to enable support of the most popular archiving tools, and find out how they auto-discover libraries
[04:58] <TJ-> It got me what I was after though - this 1990s MCU emulator's data file for the ancient MC34510E8SP I'm hacking :)
[05:54] <daftykins> but only if you can escape volunteering for long enough! :D
[05:54] <daftykins> i'm gonna head off to sleep, your shift :)
[05:54] <daftykins> \o
[05:55] <TJ-> g'night
[10:11] <lordievader> Good morning
[11:23] <lotuspsychje> good noon to all
[11:42] <lotuspsychje> http://news.softpedia.com/news/debian-based-robolinux-8-2-lxde-linux-os-lets-you-run-windows-10-virus-free-496171.shtml
[11:42] <lotuspsychje> that project looking pretty nice
[11:42] <lotuspsychje> nice ideas integrated
[11:44] <cfhowlett> trying to see the value added ...
[11:44] <lotuspsychje> yeah i know we can run w10 on virtualbox too :p
[11:44] <lotuspsychje> and tor browser
[11:45] <lotuspsychje> but i like the default package allright
[11:47] <TJ-> I'm not sure how they get the 'virus free' bit
[11:48] <lotuspsychje> lol
[11:48] <cfhowlett> yeah, that does seem to be a bit of a reach.
[11:48] <TJ-> unless the windows installs are snapshots and always start from the installed image
[11:48] <TJ-> in which case, good luck to all those Windows users wondering where their installed software disappeared to, after they shutdown the VM
[11:49] <cfhowlett> though I admit I've never experienced a breach on my virtualbox windows.  Of course, I DO only turn it on what?  10 days each year?
[11:49] <lotuspsychje> http://www.robolinux.org/
[11:51] <lotuspsychje> website surely looks bit playmobile lol
[11:52] <TJ-> "because Robolinux invented Stealth VM Software that runs on over 500 Linux Operating Systems, which keeps a protected clone of Windows and mirrors your data in a secure Linux partition you can restore within a few minutes in just two clicks!"
[11:52] <TJ-> "invented" ... yeah right
[11:52] <lotuspsychje> lol
[11:52] <TJ-> "snapshots"
[11:53] <cfhowlett> wait, they charge $$ for this?!!
[11:54] <TJ-> well you've got those invention patent license fees :)
[11:54] <cfhowlett> what a sweet, sweet racket.
[11:55] <TJ-> For end-users who just want to get on it makes sense; someone has done a lot of work to make it work together seamlessly. When it looks easy someone spent a lot of time and effort on it
[11:56] <cfhowlett> true.
[11:56] <lotuspsychje> too much banners and videos on that site my god
[11:56] <TJ-> Agreed; the web-site is very 1994
[12:00] <lotuspsychje> skype support robolinux :p
[12:03] <TJ-> anyone recommend a USB-based eprom programmer that supports 27C*
[12:22] <lotuspsychje> TJ-: not me, maybe Ben64 knows or the ##hardware guys
[12:34] <TJ-> Looks like the TLC866A has a decent Linux 'minipro' tool: https://github.com/vdudouyt/minipro
[12:59] <BluesKaj> Howdy folks
[13:02] <livingBEEF> Was packages.ubuntu.com always http only? For example startpage gives me links with https (which obviously doesn't work).
[13:25] <pauljw> mornin
[13:32] <BluesKaj> livingBEEF, which ubuntu?
[13:32] <BluesKaj> 'morning  pauljw
[13:32] <pauljw> :)
[14:21] <livingBEEF> BluesKaj: not on ubuntu ATM, but that's not the point. The point is, that the web page "packages.ubuntu.com" can only do http and not https (unlike most other *.ubuntu.com webs). Firefox/wget/whatever just times out for me
[14:37] <BluesKaj> odd I didn't have that problem with FF
[16:30] <Bashing-om> Back on, much refreshed. Are we having fun now ?
[20:50] <Latrodectus> i found the info for that upgrade bug, what should i do with it?
[23:12] <OerHeks> BQ E5 #Ubuntu Phone in Russia, Will be launching on the 17th November!
