JamesTaitGood morning all; happy Tuesday, and happy Pretend To Be A Time Traveler Day! 😃10:13
bittin_USJamesTait: i feel like a timetravler :p10:14
bittin_USwent from Sweden -> US10:14
bittin_UStimezone differences and stuff10:14
awilkinsWhere I come from, Pretend To Be  A Time Traveller Day is regarded as an archaic but amusing event!10:17
JamesTaitawilkins, where you come from, or *when* you come from?10:20
JamesTaitbittin_US, my sympathies, I've been there many times.10:20
awilkinsThe Temporal Prime Directive (rather ironically named from an old documentary reel) prevents me from revealing that there is, in fact, a Temporal Prime Directive.10:21
davmor2JamesTait: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Adk1ujjmguo easy10:21
awilkinsHappily the predestination paradox schroedingloop that this willant noncause will prevent any major ripples from emerging. And after all, this is an IRC channel - who actually reads these things!10:23
SuperEngineererrrmmm.... everybody in Durham, Durham. Durham, Durham reads this?10:24
bigcalmGood morning peeps :)10:26
awilkinsI'm talking about participants in significant causality nexuses. Durham is <redacted> in a few years anyway.10:26
SuperEngineerawilkins, only in your [unstable] paradox does it get redacted.10:28
davmor2JamesTait: we can have this too as they time travelled enough times https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCARADb9asE10:30
* SuperEngineer wonders about phrase: "time travelled enough times"10:32
SuperEngineerwot. no dimensions?  ;-)10:33

daftykinsjust called up a guy who's done home cinema installs etc for someone i know, helped me out with a few things... as i'd seen a clients' sky box often needs rebooting once a week minimum14:45
daftykinsanything to be done? nope they're just that rubbish now apparently.14:45
zmoylan-piget a timer plug to switch it off once a week at 3am in the morning :-)14:48
directhexclearly the problem is IT MUST BE OVERCLOCKED14:50
zmoylan-piput a heat sink on it.  with massive fins14:50
directhexwater.14:50
directhex3x120mm rad14:50
zmoylan-pifrozen vodka... someone doing that got a zilog z80 up to silly speeds iirc14:51
Myrttibaby oil14:51
Myrttisqueezed from freshly harvested babies14:51
SuperEngineerMyrtti, why use squeezed ones?  Roast them & collect oil from from baking tray [plus you get a free meal]15:25
MyrttiSuperEngineer: that's the second phase15:29
Myrttiextra virgin virgin oil is always cold pressed15:29
Myrttithe dregs are collected from the baking tray15:30
zmoylan-pithe dregs with yummy crunchy bits in it...15:32
* SuperEngineer has suddenly gone off roast baby15:34
SuperEngineer[should've used some garlic & black pepper, I guess]15:35
Myrttibaste it with butter15:38
SuperEngineerbut that would spoil the baby oil collecting in the roasting dish!15:41
SuperEngineer...& would clog up the cooling system15:42
Myrttitrue15:44
* SuperMatt steps in to the channel, reads the last 5 lines and start mashing the 9 button on his mobile15:54
MyrttiI just find the product name funny.15:57
Myrttiit has to be made of babies, just like canola oil and olive oil is15:57
SuperEngineer& they must be babies up to a certain age only16:09
SuperEngineerotherwise the oil becomes "a bit pongy" if not changed regularily16:10
SuperEngineer[& now he's definitely hitting the "9" key!]16:11
Myrttiit's starting to hit my nausea trigger point, too...16:13
* SuperEngineer changes subject to reasting kittens16:15
SuperEngineeralthough well known not to be so good at producing oil ;)16:15
Myrttiactually16:16
Myrttithere was a rumour in the early days of margarine in Finland where did all the barn cats and strays disappear...16:17
SuperEngineerwhoops!16:17
Myrttiand it was actually true, too16:17
SuperEngineeryuk!16:17
SuperEngineerWere "e" numbers used to disguise the dact?16:20
SuperEngineer*fact16:20
Myrttiungh16:23
MyrttiI think it was a bit early days for any e numbers16:23
popeySo, might as well put my FirefoxOS phone in the bin, looks like mozilla are killing it off.16:32
daftykinscrikey, can't get anything else on there?16:33
popeyno, i mean the current build works16:33
popeybut dunno what future it has16:33
daftykinsyeah but other OSs once it's definitely dead16:36
davmor2popey: ouch so ditching ffos and thunderbird so they are just going to do a browser that uses chrome plugins why not use chrome then17:53
popeywell, FFOS will be reborn as an IoT platform it seems.17:53

zmoylan-piqi was so looking forward to trying one of those...19:19
zmoylan-pi*i was19:19
daftykinsi don't think we needed another mobile OS19:19
davmor2zmoylan-pi: you could buy popey 's19:19
zmoylan-pii think we do. a proper linux os19:19
popeypeople said that when blackberry and symbian were leaders19:20
zmoylan-pino android java vm, no ios locked down tighter than ducks arse, no windows phone os silliness19:20
daftykinsi doubt it would've amounted to anything19:20
zmoylan-pineeded more now than ever19:21
daftykinsmaybe with all these cutbacks Mozilla can stop screwing up Firefox so much \o/19:22
zmoylan-pino no, now they can focus all their resources ON screwing up firefox...19:23
daftykins:)19:23
popeyThey're moving over to IoT19:24
daftykinsi'm not sure what that means in actuality :D19:25
zmoylan-pinew ways to make old tech insecure :-)19:27
davmor2zmoylan-pi: harsh dude19:28
* zmoylan-pi waits for the local script kiddies to have davmor2's lights turning on and off at random at 2am :-)19:29
davmor2zmoylan-pi: my devices would be powered by ubuntu so that won't happen :P19:30
daftykinshaha19:30
daftykinsplenty of folks spilling into #ubuntu are 'powered by ubuntu' but on lovely EOL releases ;)19:31
popeyi found a laptop here that had a proper crusty old version on it19:32
daftykins:D19:32
daftykinsthat's fair when it's actively used, but how these folk get by with things like 13.10 still running19:33
daftykinserr, not actively used.19:33
davmor2popey: 4.10?19:33
daftykinsthey even say "yeah i haven't been prompted for updates for ages!"19:33
popeyI had one with 9.04 on it19:54
* daftykins wonders if that was jaunty19:58
daftykins!9.0419:58
