knightwise | morning | 10:40 |
brobostigon | morning boys and girls. | 10:44 |
knightwise | hey brobostigon | 10:46 |
knightwise | how are you :) | 10:46 |
brobostigon | hi knightwise, not bad overall, and you? | 10:47 |
knightwise | doin ok , been tinkering with an old netbook to turn it into a plex server | 10:52 |
knightwise | not very successfull so far | 10:52 |
knightwise | might have to add some ram | 10:52 |
brobostigon | :) :( | 10:54 |
knightwise | dont know if it will help but i'll give it a try | 11:24 |
knightwise | hmm.. | 11:54 |
knightwise | opening up the netbook is like brain surgery | 11:54 |
brobostigon | i can imagine. | 11:55 |
knightwise | hmm.. cpu is pretty busy , but i still have about 300 meg left of ram free | 11:58 |
knightwise | (of 1 gig) | 11:58 |
knightwise | disk io is allmost nothing , network io has some peeks | 11:59 |
knightwise | looks like the 1 gig is sufficient | 11:59 |
DJones | Pretty impressed with the chromecast 2 I got for Christmas, cost £25, and got a £20 google play credit, plus a free hd movie rental for 30 days charged at £4.50, so net cost of chromecast 50p | 13:55 |
zmoylan-pi | i'm always wary of services that offer themselves free to get you hooked | 13:58 |
SuperEngineer | on the bright side, they never ask for a credit card up front, do they ;-) | 13:59 |
DJones | nope | 13:59 |
zmoylan-pi | every time i try to add an app to android device it wants me to 'review' my account and add a credit card | 14:00 |
SuperEngineer | correct, it *wants* you to, but do you *have* to? | 14:01 |
zmoylan-pi | pretty much killed my interest in android. naggy screens are annoying | 14:01 |
zmoylan-pi | you have to wait 2-3 seconds before the skip button responds to press | 14:01 |
zmoylan-pi | .....slow...... | 14:02 |
zmoylan-pi | and i'm someone who paid for winzip :-) | 14:03 |
SuperEngineer | if your phone is as old & slow as mine, you don't realise there *is* a lag... it's just normal | 14:03 |
zmoylan-pi | it's a fairly new tablet and none of the other dialogs lag like that | 14:03 |
SuperEngineer | do get a really old phone & get lag everywhere... it makes life easier when you get used to it :D | 14:05 |
zmoylan-pi | my actual phone is a dumbphone. i love the little indestuctible insane battery life bugger | 14:05 |
SuperEngineer | +1 ..If I need instant response, it's my dumbphone every single time | 14:06 |
zmoylan-pi | used yesterday for 23hours and still at 50% when i got home after a long busy day | 14:06 |
DJones | My phone & tablet are pretty new, must admit I don't have any lag issue or nag screens, maybe because I have a card regisetered even if it is an expired one | 14:06 |
zmoylan-pi | and did web searches faster than 2 other people on car journey as it had real keyboard :-) | 14:07 |
* SuperEngineer thinks of 3foot cardphone, shouts "hello, can you hear me? Yeah, I'm in a library" | 14:08 | |
SuperEngineer | dome comedy sketches are still relevant | 14:09 |
zmoylan-pi | red fox to grey squirrel, red fox to grey squirrel.... | 14:09 |
SuperEngineer | :-) | 14:09 |
zmoylan-pi | gave the dvd... love it | 14:09 |
zmoylan-pi | *have | 14:09 |
diddledan | london calling nighthawk | 14:10 |
SuperEngineer | listen very carefully, I will say this only once | 14:10 |
zmoylan-pi | i also have allo allo here on a hard drive... love that show... the jug with the drug and the candle with the handle... | 14:11 |
knightwise | night-Awk receiving | 14:11 |
zmoylan-pi | good moaning.... | 14:11 |
knightwise | beware the flashing nobs | 14:11 |
diddledan | knightwise, I'm always wary of flashing my nobs | 14:11 |
SuperEngineer | [not to mention I used to play cards with her & her sis on a friday night after pub] | 14:12 |
SuperEngineer | ...& she owes me money, I'm sure she cheated on those cards!!! | 14:12 |
SuperEngineer | Hmm, just got 2nd e-mail from my bank in 10 days requesting me to clck on unknown links. I'm sure it's genuine - NOT!!! | 14:19 |
SuperEngineer | hashtag phishing | 14:20 |
zmoylan-pi | for christmas they should send you a personalised email from their account manager mr. n. prince asking you to confirm account details... :-) | 14:31 |
SuperEngineer | lol | 14:40 |
diddledan | I hate when people type hashtag like they were speaking hashtags when typing a hastag would be better as #hastag, hashtag: #hashtag | 14:47 |
zmoylan-pi | some things can't be described in any right way... http://bgr.com/2015/12/28/worst-wi-fi-password-ever-video/ | 14:50 |
zmoylan-pi | i always have a giggle when i hear radio adverts for company names that can be spelled a multiude of ways. what plonker chose such a badly spelled name? | 14:53 |
diddledan | zmoylan-pi, then there's adverts for companies whose name is easy to spell but they insist on reading the spelling letter-by-letter anyway | 14:57 |
zmoylan-pi | and somehow do it such a way as to confuse the spelling in your own mind | 14:59 |
penguin42 | has most of the flooding in York come from the Foss, not the Ouse? says he noticing Bytemark is 50m from the Ouse | 15:38 |
DJones | How on earth did Han Solo and Leia Organa have Serveres Snape as a child? | 15:42 |
DJones | Mixed up movies | 15:42 |
diddledan | penguin42, since when has free open source software been the cause of flooding?! | 15:45 |
penguin42 | diddledan: That's what happens when you flush your buffers | 15:46 |
diddledan | ouch | 15:46 |
diddledan | I suppose it takes a lot of cache to fix | 15:47 |
penguin42 | diddledan: These days containers can help | 15:47 |
diddledan | I hear it's been difficult for drivers | 15:48 |
penguin42 | perhaps they should just hit ctrl-s | 15:50 |
diddledan | or even ctrl+z | 15:50 |
* penguin42 prefers flow-control | 15:51 | |
bujji | how to reboot remote linux machine? | 16:52 |
bujji | diddledan: o/ | 16:54 |
brobostigon | ssh user@machine; sudo reboot; | 16:57 |
zleap | that works nicely if you can use passwordless logins with an ssh key i think | 16:58 |
brobostigon | good point. | 16:58 |
zleap | so it recognises which computer is connecting and can authenticate | 16:59 |
brobostigon | yes. | 16:59 |
zleap | plus you can run quite a few other commands that way, and from inside scripts | 16:59 |
brobostigon | true. | 17:00 |
=== Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte | ||

penguin42 | nod | 17:59 |

Myrtti | we fiddled with the new Nexii at Lakeside yesterday | 20:39 |
Myrtti | wouldn't want the bigger one | 20:39 |
brobostigon | my nexus 4 seems about perfect size, you can just about hold it in one hand, typing two hands, quite thin and light, its just about right. | 21:11 |
directhex | nexorum no longer appeal to me. too biiiiiiiiiiiiig | 21:13 |
