[08:37] merry xmass cfhowlett [08:51] and you lotuspsychje [08:52] Good morning. [12:01] Howdy folks, and Merry Christmas! [13:28] good afternoon guys [13:29] Afternoon. =] [13:31] hey DosTuMai merry xmass :p [13:32] Seasons greetings to you, too. =] [13:36] DosTuMai: thank you ; ) [13:37] I missed wishing everyone a blessed solstice on 22nd, so a belated to one and all. =] [13:44] DosTuMai: what does that mean blessed solstice [13:44] a feast our country dont know? [13:44] It's an astronomical event: The winter solstice is the longest day of the year. [13:45] ah [13:45] Summer is the shortest. Then there's the equinox in spring & autumn/fall where the day & night are the same length. [13:45] DosTuMai: and you guys celebrate that? [13:46] I'm in England and don't celebrate Christ's mass. [13:48] ah ic [13:50] !printers [13:50] Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingWithUbuntu [13:50] DJones: seems like its fixxed mate, tnx again for reporting [13:53] cfhowlett: wb mate [13:54] hey hey lotuspsychje [13:54] cfhowlett: support is ZZZzzzzZZ on xmass :p [13:54] well, NORMALLY, I would be in a sweet potato pie / eggnog coma, but neither is readily found in Beijing so ... [13:55] lol [13:55] Could swap places if you want, cfhowlett. It's nasty and seasonal everywhere in England. [13:56] UK? eh, thanks but no ... [15:00] lotuspsychje: Madness is doing seasonal things, so he wont be on air. But if we're lucky - Wiggles will cover his slot and do a mix show. [16:53] hi everyone [16:53] hey pauljw. Merry Christmas :-) [16:54] :) right back at ya BluesKaj [17:56] merry christmas team o/ [17:56] merry christmas to you too. [17:57] waiting for all my family to get here [17:57] daftykins: Did Santa indicate you as naughty or nice ? [17:57] hehe, oddly my parents decided to give me something a month ago already, so all i've been gifted with today was a nice roast dinner for lunch! [17:58] merry xmass to you guys aswell [17:58] Well, ^ must not have been all bad this year ! [17:59] Everyone having a nice Lemmy day?

[18:00] tnx Bashing-om [18:00] time to go now fellas [18:00] have a good one [18:00] Enjoy the rest of your day, lotuspsychje. =] [18:00] tnx tnx [18:03] i'm totally filled with food and just sat back on a sofa at my parents with the dogs snoring around me :) [18:05] Wait... (Quit: = Ubuntu 14.04.3 64bit Samsung SSD EVO 840=) <-Ubuntu on a Samsung phone? =o [18:05] nah he's just bragging about his SSD [18:05] Oh, oki. [18:05] 'just' an EVO, not PRO [18:06] :) [18:07] i always found those forums where people state the spec of their PCs to be really quite sad [18:08] haha, never venture onto http://reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace then [18:08] or /r/linuxmasterrace, for that matter... [18:08] https://scontent-lhr3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfl1/v/t1.0-9/12369251_438331863039250_7693074436485259730_n.jpg?oh=9aa7bca07a43f26891283d7a6c7f1720&oe=57139FA9 [18:09] nah i can't stand reddit at all as a concept, it's full of people with... *gasp* OPINIONS! [18:09] lol [18:10] bad enough on here ;) [18:10] Opinions are like assholes: everyone has one, and it's not nice to flash them in public. [18:12] 'xactly! [18:23] there's nothing wrong with opinions as long as they're expressed as opinions and not promoted as facts [18:24] True. But some people don't get that. [18:27] well... I downloaded some tracks on soundcloud and have no idea where they decided to call home... [18:28] Time to search! xD [18:28] been doin! [18:28] And it'll be in a hidden directory for some unknown reason. [18:29] shoulda gone to ~/Music... but didn't. [19:00] On hold for Christmas dinner ~ [19:02] i 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] Just a quick pop-in to say hello and Merry Christmas to those who are celebrating today! Off to my sister's for the festivities :) [19:03] fully https experience, then once you click through you have verify methods right there on the page [19:04] slidinghorn: merry christmas and enjoy o/ [19:04] keep safe out there :) [19:04] will do, thanks [19:05] yeah, keep on the https side [19:06] I don't really see the benefit of of SSL on the ubuntu site... no personal info ever goes through there, does it? [19:06] what need is there for encrypting traffic? [19:07] maybe ... some say 1 billion users come there [19:09] well i can see the point, however weak it is - and it's not like it'd be much effort to change [19:10] the 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 away [19:11] Also, 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/ [19:15] That'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. [19:16] i don't agree there, the distro is meant to be for newbies [19:16] so it should all be right from the start [19:17] True, but MITM attacks are so rare, it's a non-issue. Especially with Linux distros. [19:23] *nod* very tinfoil hat really [19:24] I bet he looks at contrails and screams, "ILLERMINATTI!!!!!!11!!!1!one1!" [19:28] * daftykins installs fedora server in a VM [19:29] xD [19:31] 606 packages downloaded [19:32] I am Red Hat/Fedora scum. xD [19:35] Bilderberg for you [19:36] weirds me out that Fedora pushes xfs as the standard fs [19:39] I want to ask LJSeinfeld the person's name so I can try converting them to Pastafarianism. [19:40] I'm not too sure why they use XFS over standard, Daftykins. [19:41] i use it on a clients 24TB file server [19:41] meant to be good for larger fewer files [19:43] That could be the reason. I used to run Suse on my servers. >_> [19:46] i had to use CentOS in Uni [19:46] yum yum yum [19:47] Yah, it's odd switching and going yum. xD [19:49] though i understand even that's replaced now? [19:49] i don't usually dare try other distros 'cause i don't fancy the new package manager head ache :P [19:49] It is? I haven't used any other flavours for years. xD [19:50] yeah definitely heard something new came along [19:50] dnf [19:50] Hmm, oki. *Waddles over to g00gle.* [19:51] i found - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ReplaceYumWithDNF [19:52] "Notice that upgrading F21 to F22 will not cause the compat package to be installed so will not disturb any upgrading users." [19:52] maybe that's relevant [19:53] Yah, looks like you'd need to `yum|dnf` with older installs. [19:55] DosTuMai: did you see my pic of working on that samsung in the end? i forget [19:56] Nope, but that would be pornographic! D= [19:58] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahlWufJqcSQ [19:58] https://www.dropbox.com/s/d4cycurzc11p65o/IMG_20151224_181821.jpg?dl=0 [19:59] you know you want to see! :P [19:59] Oh my, I'm all hot under the collar. =o [20:00] That's not the worst screen I've ever seen. [20:00] i think my mate has some action shots of me working on it [20:01] Really should upload a few more videos to youtube. [20:02] Gah, Coldfront is experiencing netsplits again. [20:02] :< [20:08] wow - what is all this - a web management UI O_O [20:09] Most Fedora users use it for web servers. [20:10] https://www.dropbox.com/s/vh6df33rr0rd3rt/fedora.png?dl=0 [20:10] i bet this net install is a chunky monkey [20:11] 1.3GB used, not bad [21:02] Be going to bed in hour. [21:08] 10pm!? that's early [21:08] early start tomorrow? [21:09] Yah, trains and busses will get me to work far too late tomorrow. [21:11] So, I'm gonna have to get up at 0400 so I can get to work on time. [21:12] My travels to work tomorrow will start at 0530, so I need time to digest breakfast. [21:12] >_< [21:24] There was some holiday thing on this week, so trains that I normally catch aren't starting until 2hr _after_ I start work tomorrow. [21:29] you getting any extra pay for being in on a hol? [21:30] Pfft, you're kidding, right? It's not a bank holiday. [21:30] i don't even [21:31] Welcome to work as a CSA. [21:31] custard sauce admin [21:32] Pretty much. [21:33] Unappreciated, get shouted at by idiots, and given unreachable targets. [21:33] I'm supposed to handle an average 21.5 calls/hour. [21:33] oy [21:34] I'm close - 16.2 - but not close enough. Fuck you, Argos. [21:35] some bloke mentioned working for umm, rackspace, i saw some interesting Linux jobs on their site [21:35] not favoured ends of England though :P [21:36] They're in my neck of the woods IIRC. [21:39] Oop noorth lahk, lad. [21:45] XD [21:46] And I'm a southern fairy. I was raised in Berkshire. xD [21:47] i used to tease a dude i was at Uni with (Portsmouth) for being northern, he was from there ;) [21:47] can't get further south than me other than being on Jersey (and still be British) [21:48] xD [21:48] right i think i'm gonna be in transit myself heading back home, shortly [21:49] so gl with your morning travels o [21:49] o/ [21:49] Thankies. Safe journeys. o/ [21:58] ta! [21:58] Well, I'm going to sleep. Have fun and good luck all. o/ [22:00] TJ-: merry christmas to you o/ [22:02] I don't get merry :D [22:02] haha, bit further? ;)
