knightwisemight have to add some ram10:52

knightwisedont know if it will help but i'll give it a try11:24
knightwisehmm..11:54
knightwiseopening up the netbook is like brain surgery11:54
brobostigoni can imagine.11:55
knightwisehmm.. cpu is pretty busy , but i still have about 300 meg left of ram free11:58
knightwise(of 1 gig)11:58

knightwiselooks like the 1 gig is sufficient11:59
DJonesPretty 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 50p13:55
zmoylan-pii'm always wary of services that offer themselves free to get you hooked13:58
SuperEngineeron the bright side, they never ask for a credit card up front, do they ;-)13:59
DJonesnope13:59
zmoylan-pievery time i try to add an app to android device it wants me to 'review' my account and add a credit card14:00
SuperEngineercorrect, it *wants* you to, but do you *have* to?14:01
zmoylan-pipretty much killed my interest in android. naggy screens are annoying14:01
zmoylan-piyou have to wait 2-3 seconds before the skip button responds to press14:01
zmoylan-pi.....slow......14:02
zmoylan-piand i'm someone who paid for winzip :-)14:03
SuperEngineerif your phone is as old & slow as mine, you don't realise there *is* a lag... it's just normal14:03
zmoylan-piit's a fairly new tablet and none of the other dialogs lag like that14:03
SuperEngineerdo get a really old phone & get lag everywhere... it makes life easier when you get used to it :D14:05
zmoylan-pimy actual phone is a dumbphone.  i love the little indestuctible insane battery life bugger14:05
SuperEngineer+1 ..If I need instant response, it's my dumbphone every single time14:06
zmoylan-piused yesterday for 23hours and still at 50% when i got home after a long busy day14:06
DJonesMy 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 one14:06
zmoylan-piand 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
SuperEngineerdome comedy sketches are still relevant14:09
zmoylan-pired fox to grey squirrel, red fox to grey squirrel....14:09
SuperEngineer:-)14:09
zmoylan-pigave the dvd... love it14:09
zmoylan-pi*have14:09
diddledanlondon calling nighthawk14:10

knightwisenight-Awk receiving14:11
zmoylan-pigood moaning....14:11
knightwisebeware the flashing nobs14:11
diddledanknightwise, I'm always wary of flashing my nobs14:11
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
SuperEngineerHmm, 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
SuperEngineerhashtag phishing14:20
zmoylan-pifor christmas they should send you a personalised email from their account manager mr. n. prince asking you to confirm account details... :-)14:31
SuperEngineerlol14:40
diddledanI hate when people type hashtag like they were speaking hashtags when typing a hastag would be better as #hastag, hashtag: #hashtag14:47
zmoylan-pisome things can't be described in any right way... http://bgr.com/2015/12/28/worst-wi-fi-password-ever-video/14:50
zmoylan-pii 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
diddledanzmoylan-pi, then there's adverts for companies whose name is easy to spell but they insist on reading the spelling letter-by-letter anyway14:57
zmoylan-piand somehow do it such a way as to confuse the spelling in your own mind14:59
penguin42has most of the flooding in York come from the Foss, not the Ouse?  says he noticing Bytemark is 50m from the Ouse15:38
DJonesHow on earth did Han Solo and Leia Organa have Serveres Snape as a child?15:42
DJonesMixed up movies15:42
diddledanpenguin42, since when has free open source software been the cause of flooding?!15:45
penguin42diddledan: That's what happens when you flush your buffers15:46
diddledanouch15:46
diddledanI suppose it takes a lot of cache to fix15:47
penguin42diddledan: These days containers can help15:47
diddledanI hear it's been difficult for drivers15:48
penguin42perhaps they should just hit ctrl-s15:50
diddledanor even ctrl+z15:50
* penguin42 prefers flow-control15:51
bujjihow to reboot remote linux machine?16:52
bujjididdledan: o/16:54
brobostigonssh user@machine; sudo reboot;16:57
zleapthat works nicely if you can use passwordless logins with an ssh key i think16:58
brobostigongood point.16:58
zleapso it recognises which computer is connecting and can authenticate16:59
brobostigonyes.16:59
zleapplus you can run quite a few other commands that way, and from inside scripts16:59
brobostigontrue.17:00
