[06:24] <mapps> morning
[09:59] <diddledan> allo everyone
[10:40] <knightwise> morning
[10:44] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[10:46] <knightwise> hey brobostigon
[10:46] <knightwise> how are you :)
[10:47] <brobostigon> hi knightwise, not bad overall, and you?
[10:52] <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
[10:54] <brobostigon> :) :(
[11:24] <knightwise> dont know if it will help but i'll give it a try
[11:54] <knightwise> hmm..
[11:54] <knightwise> opening up the netbook is like brain surgery
[11:55] <brobostigon> i can imagine.
[11:58] <knightwise> hmm.. cpu is pretty busy , but i still have about 300 meg left of ram free
[11:58] <knightwise> (of 1 gig)
[11:59] <knightwise> disk io is allmost nothing , network io has some peeks
[11:59] <knightwise> looks like the 1 gig is sufficient
[13:55] <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
[13:58] <zmoylan-pi> i'm always wary of services that offer themselves free to get you hooked
[13:59] <SuperEngineer> on the bright side, they never ask for a credit card up front, do they ;-)
[13:59] <DJones> nope
[14:00] <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
[14:01] <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
[14:02] <zmoylan-pi> .....slow......
[14:03] <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
[14:05] <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
[14:06] <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
[14:07] <zmoylan-pi> and did web searches faster than 2 other people on car journey as it had real keyboard :-)
[14:08]  * SuperEngineer thinks of 3foot cardphone, shouts "hello, can you hear me? Yeah, I'm in a library"
[14:09] <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
[14:10] <diddledan> london calling nighthawk
[14:10] <SuperEngineer> listen very carefully, I will say this only once
[14:11] <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
[14:12] <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!!!
[14:19] <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!!!
[14:20] <SuperEngineer> hashtag phishing
[14:31] <zmoylan-pi> for christmas they should send you a personalised email from their account manager mr. n. prince asking you to confirm account details... :-)
[14:40] <SuperEngineer> lol
[14:47] <diddledan> I hate when people type hashtag like they were speaking hashtags when typing a hastag would be better as #hastag, hashtag: #hashtag
[14:50] <zmoylan-pi> some things can't be described in any right way... http://bgr.com/2015/12/28/worst-wi-fi-password-ever-video/
[14:53] <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?
[14:57] <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
[14:59] <zmoylan-pi> and somehow do it such a way as to confuse the spelling in your own mind
[15:38] <penguin42> has most of the flooding in York come from the Foss, not the Ouse?  says he noticing Bytemark is 50m from the Ouse
[15:42] <DJones> How on earth did Han Solo and Leia Organa have Serveres Snape as a child?
[15:42] <DJones> Mixed up movies
[15:45] <diddledan> penguin42, since when has free open source software been the cause of flooding?!
[15:46] <penguin42> diddledan: That's what happens when you flush your buffers
[15:46] <diddledan> ouch
[15:47] <diddledan> I suppose it takes a lot of cache to fix
[15:47] <penguin42> diddledan: These days containers can help
[15:48] <diddledan> I hear it's been difficult for drivers
[15:50] <penguin42> perhaps they should just hit ctrl-s
[15:50] <diddledan> or even ctrl+z
[15:51]  * penguin42 prefers flow-control
[16:52] <bujji> how to reboot remote linux machine?
[16:54] <bujji> diddledan: o/
[16:57] <brobostigon> ssh user@machine; sudo reboot;
[16:58] <zleap> that works nicely if you can use passwordless logins with an ssh key i think
[16:58] <brobostigon> good point.
[16:59] <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
[17:00] <brobostigon> true.
[17:58] <diddledan> brobostigon, I think that will reboob your local machine
[17:58] <diddledan> brobostigon, too many ;
[17:59] <penguin42> nod
[17:59] <penguin42> but less reboobing please
[18:00] <brobostigon> :)
[20:15] <daftykins> aaah, Nexus 5 LCD and what not finally arrived from Hong Kong... all transplanted, Marshmallow 6.0.1 flashed on and all working ace
[20:19] <brobostigon> :)
[20:39] <Myrtti> we fiddled with the new Nexii at Lakeside yesterday
[20:39] <Myrtti> wouldn't want the bigger one
[21:11] <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.
[21:13] <directhex> nexorum no longer appeal to me. too biiiiiiiiiiiiig
[21:40] <mapps> this chan5 doc on the vulcan is intereting
[21:42]  * brobostigon is watching the prog on bbc2 abour mr fry.

[22:52] <daftykins> http://www.tig.gg/l34827-Mac-Pro-2-x-3-GHZ-Quad-Core-Intel-Xeon.php XD
[22:53] <penguin42> daftykins: I guess that's a pretty old Xeon
[22:53] <penguin42> still, 8 cores and 9 (9 ?!) GB of RAM
[22:56] <daftykins> ;)
