| davmor2 | Well it's officially Christmas Tunes Time by the sound of the radio | 09:10 |
| MooDoo | :) | 09:11 |
| MooDoo | Christmas 24 on the telly too :D | 09:12 |
| davmor2 | MooDoo: that has been there for months, I think radio makes a concerted effort to not play Christmas Songs till the first though | 09:19 |
| daftykins | awww yis laptop delivered \o/ | 09:19 |
| daftykins | lol amazon shipped me a laptop in its' box, in another box... wat | 09:22 |
| daftykins | such a waste | 09:22 |
| zmoylan-pi | that's the box liberation front in action... | 09:25 |
| daftykins | ooh this £200 Lenovo is very nice | 09:27 |
| daftykins | a lot thinner than some of the earlier B50 line | 09:28 |
| zmoylan-pi | thin... see what the battery life is like... | 09:28 |
| daftykins | well it's a tiny battery and battery life isn't relevant to this guys needs, so why would that matter? | 09:28 |
| daftykins | horses for courses, sir | 09:28 |
| MooDoo | I've just received two my cloud hard drives in a big box, half of it was empty, another waste | 09:29 |
| foobarry | how can i check the TTL value of a record in the DNS server | 09:32 |
| foobarry | not the current secs , but the value stored in the config file | 09:32 |
| * bashrc_ is reminded that he still needs a new laptop | 09:33 | |
| zmoylan-pi | wait till new year sales and get a bargain? | 09:34 |
| andylockran | Howdy guys | 09:35 |
| daftykins | heya | 09:39 |
| daftykins | ouch, 1TB spinner doing the initial Windows 8 setup... painfully slow :) | 09:39 |
| daftykins | sadly the postie didn't bring the SSD that despatched at the same time! perhaps it'll be a day behind :( | 09:39 |
| zmoylan-pi | it's been used as a doorstop in postal department.... :-) | 09:40 |
| * zmoylan-pi remembers using a full height 5mb hard drive as a door stop till we sent it out to a customer to replace their dead drive... :-) /they don't build them like that anymore | 09:44 | |
| daftykins | with good reason! | 09:46 |
| daftykins | wow, give support for a while, not even a thanks | 10:07 |
| daftykins | good ol' #ubuntu | 10:07 |
| zmoylan-pi | people only seem to appreciate things they pay for, it's sad but true... | 10:08 |
| * daftykins starts charging in cookies | 10:08 | |
| daftykins | US kid with a school provided laptop, he claims they won't replace the disk in it based on this - http://pastebin.com/zyQR6rnY | 10:09 |
| * zmoylan-pi gives daftykins huge pack of figrolls... | 10:09 | |
| daftykins | mmmm fig rolls :D thank you! | 10:09 |
| * daftykins sings "fig-a-roll fig-a-roll fig-a-roooooooooll!" | 10:09 | |
| awilkins | "But it's only pre-fail!" | 10:10 |
| awilkins | He should just back up, remove the disk, drop it on a hard floor a couple of times, and put it in and rejoice as it emits the click of death. | 10:10 |
| zmoylan-pi | i replaced drives depending on how they sounded... that's 1 reason i like hard drives over ssd so much :-) | 10:11 |
| zmoylan-pi | a rubber panel beaters mallet can hit the hard drive and leave no marks for percussive maintenance... | 10:11 |
| awilkins | I've never had an SSD fail so far | 10:11 |
| zmoylan-pi | don't type that!! :-) | 10:11 |
| daftykins | oh please, life is too short not to run SSDs | 10:12 |
| awilkins | Really cheap awful thumbdrives, yes | 10:12 |
| zmoylan-pi | that's asking the gods of mocking to kill a ssd for fun... | 10:12 |
| awilkins | 8GB Ones that were knocked down to £1.50 by Scan | 10:12 |
| awilkins | Presumably because they were so slow and bad and failure prone | 10:12 |
| awilkins | I have a 500GB SSD wired into my computer that I'm not using yet :-) | 10:13 |
| awilkins | Because reinstalling Windows is going to be such a hassle | 10:13 |
| daftykins | how come o0 | 10:13 |
| daftykins | it's just lovely ;) | 10:13 |
| daftykins | i'm letting this new Lenovo backup its' factory image to a spare external HDD right now | 10:14 |
| awilkins | But but, you couldn't possibly want to *get rid of* the factory supplied OS ?!?!??!?! | 10:15 |
| awilkins | daftykins, in seriousness... I have a fairly old Ubuntu install on here as my main productivity OS, as well as Windows for the games | 10:16 |
| awilkins | I've got about a TB of installed games and a bunch of tweaks to my Ubuntu install | 10:16 |
| awilkins | Including software installed in /opt etc | 10:16 |
| JamesTait | Good morning all! Happy Giving Tuesday, and happy Bifocals at the Monitor Liberation Day! 😃 | 10:17 |
| awilkins | Just planning the new partition table and whether I go for plain SSD + Spinning rust or SSD as Intel RST cache / dm-cache for the spinning rust is daunting | 10:17 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: you're just going out of your way to be obtuse with these now aren't you | 10:18 |
| zmoylan-pi | no no obtuse day is next year sometime :-) | 10:19 |
| JamesTait | zmoylan-pi, probably. | 10:21 |
| JamesTait | davmor2, I picked that one just for you. 😉 | 10:21 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: this has to be the ultimate in glasses wearers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePiGVI2Hs-g now to find a song | 10:23 |
| JamesTait | davmor2, if that's Timmy Mallett, I'm getting in my car and coming down the A38 to hit you. | 10:24 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: it was tempting but I went with the more bareable glasses wearer instead | 10:24 |
| JamesTait | How on earth did he wear those and keep a straight face? | 10:25 |
| JamesTait | Maybe didn't have a choice - he couldn't raise a smile under that weight. | 10:25 |
| zmoylan-pi | probably cocaine... | 10:26 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: got a song on glasses https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ah9_cw7MS4 | 10:33 |

| JamesTait | czajkowski, tell me you weren't singing along to Let It Go. 😉 | 10:44 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: hey dude don't deny it you were dressed up prancing around your office to it, the web cam never lies ;) | 10:47 |
| JamesTait | davmor2, it's CD 2 Track 1 on a compilation my wife bought for the car. The number of times I've trolled my boys with that - it just never gets old. I've grown to like the song. | 10:49 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: and you can't help but sing to it, she can deny it all she wants but we know the truth | 10:49 |
| JamesTait | It is one to sing along to. | 10:50 |
| foobarry | perl weenies: how do i check if a variable contains the $ sign? | 10:51 |
| foobarry | do i need to escape it? | 10:52 |
| pwaring | foobarry: Depends how you're searching for it | 10:54 |
| pwaring | With a regex, yes you will need to escape it because $ has a special meaning | 10:54 |
| Laney | I need a hashing system for hostnames to terminal colours | 10:55 |
| Laney | so that I can colour them differently in prompts | 10:55 |
| Laney | anyone got such a thing? | 10:55 |
| pwaring | hmm, I think you can do that in zsh | 10:56 |
| diddledan_ | foobarry: a quick easy web-based way of determining the ttl of a dns record: http://api.statdns.com/example.com/a where /example.com is the domain to check and /a is the record-type to check | 10:56 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: that's not trolling them, making them sing "The timewarp" In costume that's trolling them | 10:56 |
| foobarry | diddledan_: thanks i was missing the -v on the host cmd | 10:56 |
| diddledan_ | aah | 10:56 |
| diddledan_ | foobarry: the web-thingy I linked can be used by a lot of stuff due to being JSON output, but for human readable I would guess host would be simpler and quicker | 10:57 |
| diddledan_ | here's ubuntu.com for example usage: http://api.statdns.com/ubuntu.com/a | 10:58 |
| diddledan_ | looks like I was wrong tho - the ttl used to be static on that api but now seems to be changing per cache | 11:00 |

| awilkins | Did you upgrade, or fresh install? | 12:58 |
| awilkins | Apparently the installer permits an activation with a Win7 key now | 12:58 |
| DJones | Its an upgrade, first impressions are that its not too bad, just feels slow | 12:58 |
| awilkins | I just think NTFS gets slow unless you bleach it once in a while | 12:59 |
| awilkins | Is it indexing things? | 13:00 |
| === alan_g is now known as alan_g|lunch | ||
| DJones | Doesn't seem to be | 13:00 |
| awilkins | My Win7 install spends about 5 minutes churning the disk when I start up, gets so slow that even keypresses take a few seconds to register while you're typing | 13:00 |
| daftykins | :( smells like a horrid mechanical disk to me, that :D | 13:02 |
| MooDoo | dpeends on memory as well, my laptop with a upgrade and 8gb seems ok | 13:02 |
| awilkins | 16GB in both my main GUI machines | 13:02 |
| awilkins | Mostly so I can run a Windows VM in Linux and give it enough RAM not to chug | 13:03 |
| awilkins | (4GB seems to be the minimum these days) | 13:06 |
| pwaring | 4GB is enough to run Windows 8 | 13:06 |
| pwaring | At least in a VM on my machine | 13:06 |
| awilkins | Yeah, 2GB and it was swapping to disk when you started a productivity app | 13:06 |
| awilkins | (Win 7 pro in a VM) | 13:06 |
| awilkins | And 4GB and it was crowding my available RAM on Linux (at 8GB of physical RAM) so I shoved a couple more sticks in there | 13:07 |

| awilkins | That's just the creation app, though, no hint they're renaming Flash Player | 13:23 |
| awilkins | As much as I'd like to say "Look! They want to get away from the negative image of Flash!!!" | 13:24 |
| daftykins | i suppose there'll be no more quiet eminatings of "ah-aaaaaaah" in our heads anymore without flash :( | 13:25 |
| diddledan_ | I'm more interested in their effort to move to html5 output rather than swf than bashing the flash player | 13:25 |
| awilkins | I'm.... concerned | 13:26 |

| zmoylan-pi | lynx it is :-) | 15:28 |
| DJones | But they're still supporting the 32 bit Chromium builds | 15:28 |
| SuperMatt | now that chrome are doing it, it's about time that *everything* dropped 32 bit | 15:28 |
| SuperMatt | google are well in tune with 2 things, technology and money. If they've decided it's too expensive to support 32 bit, it's probably too expensive for everyone else | 15:29 |
| DJones | I wonder what my chances of getting Google Chrom for an 8 bit Commodore Vic 20 are | 15:30 |
| diddledan_ | \o/ | 15:30 |
| zmoylan-pi | there is a web browser for c64 iirc | 15:30 |
| zmoylan-pi | but it need those extra 60k of ram... | 15:30 |
| SuperMatt | just reading through the announcement, it seems that they're just dropping support for 32bit Ubuntu, and for 12.04 and below, so it's not really killing off 32 bit for everyone | 15:31 |
| diddledan_ | I don't get why 32bit is still the default for lots of software - even 64bit packages on windows usually have 32bit software with maybe one or two supporting things that are 64bit - e.g. drivers: the driver itself is 64bit enough to get loaded into windows' kernel but everything else is 32bit | 15:31 |
| SuperMatt | 32 bit has got to go :( | 15:32 |
| diddledan_ | ^ that! | 15:32 |
| diddledan_ | I think intel had the right idea with replacing x86 entirely with itanium | 15:32 |
| zmoylan-pi | nothing wrong with 32bit... more than enough | 15:32 |
| diddledan_ | zmoylan-pi: you still use a nokia tho | 15:32 |
| zmoylan-pi | i may be a *smidge* biased :-) | 15:33 |
| diddledan_ | zmoylan-pi: so I'm not sure you're quite the target audience for "modern" | 15:33 |
| zmoylan-pi | doesn't make me wrong though... | 15:33 |
| diddledan_ | you need to listen to linux luddites podcast which has the tagline "we review all the new stuff and decide we like the old stuff better" | 15:34 |
| awilkins | Naah, I've been dealing with problem domains that definitely need 64-bit address spaces | 15:34 |
| zmoylan-pi | at least with open source the problem solves itself as the commercial market moves on a small goup of dedicated nutters keeps 32 bit afloat :-) | 15:34 |
| awilkins | Just Java programs that need a large heap are an example | 15:34 |
| diddledan_ | zmoylan-pi: you're referring to yourself with the term "nutters"? | 15:34 |
| diddledan_ | java >.< | 15:35 |
| awilkins | e.g. dealing with a large graph like SNOMED CT which has ~ 500k nodes and 1.5M edges | 15:35 |
| zmoylan-pi | no no, i prefer 8 bit instead of this fancy schmancy 32 silliness :-D | 15:35 |
| awilkins | On Windows, 32-bit java heap space is limited to around 1.2GB | 15:35 |
| diddledan_ | zmoylan-pi: I believe there's still 8088 chips available | 15:35 |
| diddledan_ | java is a pain with it's memory allocator from what I can tell | 15:36 |
| awilkins | You can DO things with SNOMED CT in that space, if you write really tight code (I wrote a special collection class) | 15:36 |
| diddledan_ | it refuses to let the OS do it's job with allocations and just reserves a chunk which it carves-up internally | 15:36 |
| awilkins | The Hotspot VM wants contiguous address space : Windows plonks a massive block in the middle of address space you're not allowed to use | 15:36 |
| * zmoylan-pi waits for https://github.com/EtchedPixels/FUZIX to become viable... :-) | 15:37 | |
| diddledan_ | yeah, I just don't get why that's a good idea on the part of the Hotspot VM | 15:37 |
| awilkins | Presumably it's because the VM is essentially pretending to be a computer | 15:37 |
| awilkins | And having to deal with the different malloc() quirks of different OSs is annoying | 15:38 |
| awilkins | Having a VM that can reserve multiple blocks of RAM is probably regarded as a moot point now | 15:39 |
| awilkins | Because 64-bit is a thing | 15:39 |
| zmoylan-pi | and 128bit last time i looked at processors talk | 15:39 |
| awilkins | 128-bit address spaces are for the insane physics professors | 15:39 |
| zmoylan-pi | or the cosmologists... | 15:40 |
| awilkins | I was lumping them in with the former | 15:40 |
| diddledan_ | physicians :-p | 15:40 |
| zmoylan-pi | then the use of word insane is redundant :-) | 15:40 |
| diddledan_ | you might get away with using the term "wonks"? | 15:42 |
| diddledan_ | i.e. physics wonks | 15:42 |
| zmoylan-pi | boffins has unfortunately fallen out of favour... | 15:42 |

| awilkins | Yeah, I liked Graffiti (1) | 16:28 |
| awilkins | Such a pity they had to alter it because of a patent claim | 16:28 |
| daftykins | the above drawing was really impressive, it genuinely felt like i had a pen on paper | 16:29 |
| zmoylan-pi | which was eventually ruled bogus but they stuck with grafitti 2 | 16:30 |

| zmoylan-pi | he kept thinking it was a faulty mouse and had a huge pile on his desk | 16:44 |
| zmoylan-pi | that and using vnc to move his mouse cursor a few mm to the right just before he clicked... | 16:45 |
| diddledan_ | oh dear : https://twitter.com/WhatsTrending/status/671705583800688640 | 16:51 |

| zmoylan-pi | http://uk.complex.com/style/2014/08/logos-that-are-accidentally-sexually-explicit/deccan-engineering-enterprise | 16:55 |
| zmoylan-pi | no it's just a mirror image of the zune logo. i remember it on the day it was launched as someone noticed it reflection of their bag and pointed it out online iirc | 16:55 |
| zmoylan-pi | and once you've seen it you can't unsee it... | 16:56 |
| diddledan_ | I really should stop following sourceforge on the twits | 17:04 |
| diddledan_ | https://twitter.com/sourceforge/status/671736313503195136 <-- apparently customising your web browser involves completely replacing | 17:04 |
| diddledan_ | I'm betting they're promoting that because they have a spyware/adware in the installer | 17:05 |
| pwaring | diddledan_: I no longer download anything from SF | 17:14 |
| pwaring | Which is sad, because it was once the old GitHub | 17:14 |
| diddledan_ | yeah | 17:15 |
| diddledan_ | hmm, so if a hard disk dies and I've not backed-it-up can I sue Western Digital for compensation now? re: http://www.msn.com/en-gb/money/news/pensioner-wins-compensation-after-apple-wipes-his-photos/ar-AAfSTJm?ocid=spartandhp | 17:16 |
| diddledan_ | http://definitelyrealquotes.com/?id=10_7 | 17:39 |

| diddledan_ | lol @ http://definitelyrealquotes.com/?id=0_11 | 17:41 |
| daftykins | domain seems legit | 17:41 |
| diddledan_ | NSFW, but I can totally see winston saying this: http://definitelyrealquotes.com/?id=12_1 | 17:42 |
| daftykins | he was quite lost if he needed to call the US services | 17:43 |
| diddledan_ | http://definitelyrealquotes.com/?id=2_6 | 17:43 |
| diddledan_ | good ol' aristotle | 17:43 |
| diddledan_ | then there's gandhi: http://definitelyrealquotes.com/?id=5_5 | 17:44 |
| diddledan_ | from clicking a few times, the id is <person>_<quote> | 17:45 |
| diddledan_ | so http://definitelyrealquotes.com/?id=5_6 is the same quote as aristotle | 17:46 |
| sebsebseb | hi | 17:54 |

| diddledan_ | I love these two geeks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSjL1lrNAx4 | 18:04 |
| diddledan_ | "a browser could send a message to say 'could you not, mate?'." | 18:05 |
| diddledan_ | https://twitter.com/shanselman/status/671752256975323136 | 18:10 |
| daftykins | i had to tag in iTunes for Windows the other day | 18:11 |
| daftykins | if you have "Artist blah" and you want to delete blah, it won't let you highlight " blah" | 18:11 |
| daftykins | or rather it does, but pressing delete or backspace does nothing | 18:11 |
| daftykins | it was a fine experience | 18:11 |
| daftykins | oh then i plugged in the clients' 3 iPods and it recognised none, so all 3 had to be wiped and synced from scratch | 18:12 |
| daftykins | :D | 18:12 |
| bittin | http://foss-sthlm.haxx.se/rms2016.html | 18:14 |

| diddledan_ | ergh, and it's my brother's birthday soon. need to find something gifty | 18:31 |
| daftykins | :D | 18:37 |
| diddledan_ | don't you love how supervillians have as their real names things like "victor von doom" | 18:52 |
| diddledan_ | (/me watching fantastic four) | 18:53 |
| zmoylan-pi | it's the number of them who seem to have phd's that worries me. what sort of people are colleges and universities accepting?! | 18:53 |
| diddledan_ | lol | 18:53 |
| diddledan_ | good point | 18:53 |
| zmoylan-pi | so under goals on your admission forms you have 'world conquest' fair enough we have lectures on doomsday devices once a week... | 18:54 |
| diddledan_ | :-) | 18:54 |
| diddledan_ | "I see you have a lack of empathy listed in your psychological profile. how would you like a team to boss around?" | 18:55 |
| zmoylan-pi | all new team members get a free t-shirt with their blood group printed on it... | 18:56 |
| zmoylan-pi | of course if they try and sign up for a msce then we would know they are going to do evil... :-P | 18:58 |
| diddledan_ | oh god, that's a whole different level of evil altogether | 18:58 |
| sebsebseb | diddledan_: oh just seen that from earlier, well I do speak SWedish | 18:59 |
| diddledan_ | anyone who can subject themselves to that amount of self-flagellation is destined to subject the world to unheard-of pain | 19:00 |
| zmoylan-pi | they'd use ms office with clippy turned *ON*... | 19:00 |
| diddledan_ | sebsebseb: can you translate the swedish chef in the muppets? | 19:01 |
| diddledan_ | zmoylan-pi: O..M..G!! | 19:01 |
| sebsebseb | diddledan_: some of it just sound stupid, but I got TV on in background to so | 19:01 |
| sebsebseb | diddledan_: but yes I could transltae most actsual Swedish into ENglish | 19:01 |
| sebsebseb | speech | 19:01 |
| zmoylan-pi | and if that's not a straight to a rubber room with a stick between their teeth i don't know what is... | 19:02 |
| diddledan_ | lol @ actual swedish - I'm guessing the chef isn't actual then | 19:02 |
| sebsebseb | diddledan_: I'll watch it properly hold on | 19:02 |
| sebsebseb | or properly enough | 19:02 |
| sebsebseb | ,but some of it just sound stupid | 19:02 |
| diddledan_ | der poppen der korn | 19:02 |
| sebsebseb | diddledan_: there's also ENglish in the video you linked to as well by the way | 19:02 |
| diddledan_ | der shrimpie | 19:03 |
| sebsebseb | diddledan_: yes the chef is just speaking made up stuff it seems, that's not SWedish | 19:05 |
| diddledan_ | I figured :-) | 19:07 |
| sebsebseb | who has a Ubuntu phone here :d ? | 19:08 |
| sebsebseb | diddledan_: look what Youtube bought up after the muppet video heh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HP-MbfHFUqs | 19:08 |

| diddledan_ | oh dear: http://www.geek.com/games/amds-new-crimson-drivers-are-overheating-and-damaging-graphics-cards-1640676/ | 20:26 |
| daftykins | apparently nvidia did it once too | 21:08 |
| diddledan_ | yey? | 21:09 |
| diddledan_ | surely on these cold nights it's good to have a few extra watts of heat, no? | 21:10 |
| daftykins | not when the machine topples over i suppose :> | 21:11 |
| daftykins | hmm, i never really thought about it before but if you've got some general compute task running on a graphics card, can the rest lock up and yet the program keep going on the card? :D | 21:12 |
| diddledan_ | no idea | 21:12 |
| daftykins | then the result is trapped! | 21:12 |
| diddledan_ | don't you love how politicians think it's best not to investigate politicians? https://twitter.com/the_intercept/status/671788224117874693 | 21:15 |
| diddledan_ | ouch, popey has a terrible connection speed today according to his twits! | 21:19 |

| diddledan_ | ref: https://twitter.com/popey/status/671765284689158144 | 21:19 |

| popey | stupid internets | 21:25 |
| * diddledan_ pets | 21:25 | |
