lotuspsychjeDosTuMai: what does that mean blessed solstice13:44
lotuspsychjea feast our country dont know?13:44
DosTuMaiIt's an astronomical event: The winter solstice is the longest day of the year.13:44
lotuspsychjeah13:45
DosTuMaiSummer is the shortest. Then there's the equinox in spring & autumn/fall where the day & night are the same length.13:45
lotuspsychjeDosTuMai: and you guys celebrate that?13:45
DosTuMaiI'm in England and don't celebrate Christ's mass.13:46

daftykinsi'm totally filled with food and just sat back on a sofa at my parents with the dogs snoring around me :)18:03
DosTuMaiWait... (Quit: = Ubuntu 14.04.3 64bit Samsung SSD EVO 840=) <-Ubuntu on a Samsung phone? =o18:05
nicomachusnah he's just bragging about his SSD18:05
DosTuMaiOh, oki.18:05
OerHeks'just' an EVO, not PRO18:05
daftykins:)18:06
daftykinsi always found those forums where people state the spec of their PCs to be really quite sad18:07
nicomachushaha, never venture onto http://reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace then18:08
nicomachusor /r/linuxmasterrace, for that matter...18:08
DosTuMaihttps://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfl1/v/t1.0-9/12369251_438331863039250_7693074436485259730_n.jpg?oh=9aa7bca07a43f26891283d7a6c7f1720&oe=57139FA918:08
daftykinsnah i can't stand reddit at all as a concept, it's full of people with... *gasp* OPINIONS!18:09
nicomachuslol18:09
daftykinsbad enough on here ;)18:10
DosTuMaiOpinions are like assholes: everyone has one, and it's not nice to flash them in public.18:10
daftykins'xactly!18:12
BluesKajthere's nothing wrong with opinions as long as they're expressed as opinions and not promoted as facts18:23
DosTuMaiTrue. But some people don't get that.18:24
nicomachuswell... I downloaded some tracks on soundcloud and have no idea where they decided to call home...18:27
DosTuMaiTime to search! xD18:28
nicomachusbeen doin!18:28
DosTuMaiAnd it'll be in a hidden directory for some unknown reason.18:28
nicomachusshoulda gone to ~/Music... but didn't.18:29
Bashing-omOn hold for Christmas dinner ~19:00
daftykinsi have to admit, checking out the download process for Fedora is much nicer than Ubuntu's - https://getfedora.org/en_GB/server/download/19:02
slidinghornJust a quick pop-in to say hello and Merry Christmas to those who are celebrating today!   Off to my sister's for the festivities :)19:02
daftykinsfully https experience, then once you click through you have verify methods right there on the page19:03
daftykinsslidinghorn: merry christmas and enjoy o/19:04
daftykinskeep safe out there :)19:04
slidinghornwill do, thanks19:04
OerHeksyeah, keep on the https side19:05
nicomachusI don't really see the benefit of of SSL on the ubuntu site... no personal info ever goes through there, does it?19:06
nicomachuswhat need is there for encrypting traffic?19:06
OerHeksmaybe ... some say 1 billion users come there19:07
daftykinswell i can see the point, however weak it is - and it's not like it'd be much effort to change19:09
daftykinsthe page you're on after downloading ubuntu server is rubbish compared with the fedora one, where you get shown verify hash info as just one click away19:10
DosTuMaiAlso, you can embed malicious software in a file that's being downloaded. If you catch someone at the right time to redirect the d/l/19:11
DosTuMaiThat's what they were talking about in #ubuntu, but there's really no point because Linux users are generally smart enough to look at checksums before installing.19:15
daftykinsi don't agree there, the distro is meant to be for newbies19:16
daftykinsso it should all be right from the start19:16
DosTuMaiTrue, but MITM attacks are so rare, it's a non-issue. Especially with Linux distros.19:17
daftykins*nod* very tinfoil hat really19:23
DosTuMaiI bet he looks at contrails and screams, "ILLERMINATTI!!!!!!11!!!1!one1!"19:24
* daftykins installs fedora server in a VM19:28
DosTuMaixD19:29
daftykins606 packages downloaded19:31
DosTuMaiI am Red Hat/Fedora scum. xD19:32
BluesKajBilderberg for you19:35
daftykinsweirds me out that Fedora pushes xfs as the standard fs19:36
DosTuMaiI want to ask LJSeinfeld the person's name so I can try converting them to Pastafarianism.19:39
DosTuMaiI'm not too sure why they use XFS over standard, Daftykins.19:40
daftykinsi use it on a clients 24TB file server19:41
daftykinsmeant to be good for larger fewer files19:41
DosTuMaiThat could be the reason. I used to run Suse on my servers. >_>19:43
daftykinsi had to use CentOS in Uni19:46
daftykinsyum yum yum19:46
DosTuMaiYah, it's odd switching and going yum. xD19:47
daftykinsthough i understand even that's replaced now?19:49
daftykinsi don't usually dare try other distros 'cause i don't fancy the new package manager head ache :P19:49
DosTuMaiIt is? I haven't used any other flavours for years. xD19:49
daftykinsyeah definitely heard something new came along19:50
daftykinsdnf19:50
DosTuMaiHmm, oki. *Waddles over to g00gle.*19:50
daftykinsi found - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ReplaceYumWithDNF19:51
daftykins"Notice that upgrading F21 to F22 will not cause the compat package to be installed so will not disturb any upgrading users."19:52
daftykinsmaybe that's relevant19:52
DosTuMaiYah, looks like you'd need to `yum|dnf` with older installs.19:53
daftykinsDosTuMai: did you see my pic of working on that samsung in the end? i forget19:55
DosTuMaiNope, but that would be pornographic! D=19:56

daftykinshttps://www.dropbox.com/s/d4cycurzc11p65o/IMG_20151224_181821.jpg?dl=019:58
daftykinsyou know you want to see! :P19:59
DosTuMaiOh my, I'm all hot under the collar. =o19:59
DosTuMaiThat's not the worst screen I've ever seen.20:00
daftykinsi think my mate has some action shots of me working on it20:00
DosTuMaiReally should upload a few more videos to youtube.20:01
DosTuMaiGah, Coldfront is experiencing netsplits again.20:02
daftykins:<20:02
daftykinswow - what is all this - a web management UI O_O20:08
DosTuMaiMost Fedora users use it for web servers.20:09
daftykinshttps://www.dropbox.com/s/vh6df33rr0rd3rt/fedora.png?dl=020:10
daftykinsi bet this net install is a chunky monkey20:10
daftykins1.3GB used, not bad20:11
DosTuMaiBe going to bed in hour.21:02
daftykins10pm!? that's early21:08
daftykinsearly start tomorrow?21:08
DosTuMaiYah, trains and busses will get me to work far too late tomorrow.21:09
DosTuMaiSo, I'm gonna have to get up at 0400 so I can get to work on time.21:11
DosTuMaiMy travels to work tomorrow will start at 0530, so I need time to digest breakfast.21:12
daftykins>_<21:12
DosTuMaiThere was some holiday thing on this week, so trains that I normally catch aren't starting until 2hr _after_ I start work tomorrow.21:24
daftykinsyou getting any extra pay for being in on a hol?21:29
DosTuMaiPfft, you're kidding, right? It's not a bank holiday.21:30

DosTuMaiOop noorth lahk, lad.21:39

DosTuMaiAnd I'm a southern fairy. I was raised in Berkshire. xD21:46
daftykinsi used to tease a dude i was at Uni with (Portsmouth) for being northern, he was from there ;)21:47
daftykinscan't get further south than me other than being on Jersey (and still be British)21:47
DosTuMaixD21:48
