[00:38] <mapps> well
[00:39] <mapps> evil dead sucked
[00:39] <mapps> you seen them daftykins?
[00:39] <mapps> il watch 2nd..maybe its better ..:P
[00:39] <daftykins> wussat? naw not familiar with that
[00:55] <diddledan> in soviet russia dead sucks your evil
[00:55] <diddledan> or maybe evil sucks your dead
[00:55] <diddledan> I can't decide which
[01:22] <diddledan> https://twitter.com/jetjocko/status/684537451122180096
[01:22] <diddledan> I am in full agreement with that tweet
[02:45] <ali1234> how can anyone not be familiar with evil dead... sam raimi? bruce campbell?
[02:46] <zmoylan-pi> never seen it i don't think
[02:46] <diddledan> I've not seen any of them either
[02:46] <ali1234> well you need to correct that asap
[02:46] <ali1234> maybe start with 2 or 3 though
[02:46] <zmoylan-pi> meh, i'm good
[02:46] <ali1234> because 1 is basically some kids with a camera
[02:47] <daftykins> sounds like something horror or zombie related which i'd likely ignore
[02:47] <ali1234> yes pretty much
[02:47] <zmoylan-pi> it can be hard recommending some series when you have to tell them 'but start with'... :-)
[02:47] <ali1234> 2 is basically a remake of 1 but with a budget
[02:47] <zmoylan-pi> a lot of trek series are like that as is discworld
[02:47] <diddledan> it's a serial version of night of the living dead :-p
[02:48] <ali1234> if you are in to low budget "amateur" films then you will be fine with 1
[02:48] <ali1234> also, they have a lot of comedy, more so in the later films
[02:48] <ali1234> it's not serious at all... i mean it has bruce campbell
[02:48] <diddledan> I can't place who that is
[02:49] <zmoylan-pi> ditto
[02:49] <ali1234> he's... ash from evil dead?
[02:49] <zmoylan-pi> which... i haven't seen...
[02:49] <diddledan> erm
[02:49] <diddledan> yeah that ^
[02:50] <ali1234> even if you have not seen the films, you've heard people repeating the catchphrases... mostly from army of darkness
[02:50] <diddledan> I have?
[02:50] <zmoylan-pi> i wanted to like the walking dead tv series but by season 2 they were making mistakes so dumb i was rooting for the zombies
[02:51] <ali1234> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAVSMg380qA
[02:51] <diddledan> wait, evil dead isn't walking dead?
[02:51] <ali1234> no?
[02:51] <ali1234> pretty much the only relation is they both have zombies
[02:51] <zmoylan-pi> i did like wwz the book, but saw from the trailer of the movie that they had ruined it
[02:56] <popey> Only zombie movie I really like is Dawn of the Dead
[02:56] <popey> Zombies roaming a shopping mall
[02:57] <zmoylan-pi> for doomsday movies/tv shows/books give me triffids :-)
[02:57] <zmoylan-pi> say it with flowers :-D
[03:04] <m0nkey_> Turns out Kodak are bringing back Super 8 .. http://www.kodak.com/ek/us/en/Consumer/Products/Super8/default.htm
[03:05] <diddledan> o_O
[03:05] <diddledan> and here I thought I was the nutjob
[03:06] <mapps> going to watch the big short;]
[03:06] <mapps> evil dead films suck
[03:06] <mapps> i only watched them as that series ash s evil dead is kinda based on them
[03:06] <mapps> ash vs
[03:07] <zmoylan-pi> bringing back film... that'll be a success... not...
[03:07]  * zmoylan-pi wonders what sort of dumb friday meeting came up with that idea...
[03:09] <m0nkey_> Hipsters
[03:10] <zmoylan-pi> hipsters would be happy with a super8 case that held your shiny new iphone to shoot movies
[03:10] <daftykins> ;]
[03:10] <diddledan> zmoylan-pi, even better, they beat digital movies by recording on analogue and scanning it into a digital movie format
[03:11] <diddledan> nothing beats digital more than digital!
[03:11] <daftykins> MOAR!
[03:11] <diddledan> their digital is more digital than everyone else's digital though
[03:13] <diddledan> I wonder how many people that buy that thing will go on holiday and let the airport put the film through the scanner
[03:13] <daftykins> that kills film? didn't even know
[03:13] <daftykins> i skipped that whole thing :D
[03:13] <diddledan> a whole new generation of people need to rediscover that film is sensitive to 1) light, 2) xrays, 3) stretching
[03:14] <ali1234> stretching?
[03:14] <zmoylan-pi> their digital has 0's 1's and 2's!!
[03:14] <diddledan> ali1234, or tearing?
[03:14] <diddledan> zmoylan-pi, startrek! trinary!
[03:14] <daftykins> i'm gonna try something daring later this month... fly to Gatwick, leave the airport, train it one station north for 2 mins, visit a post office, train it back... then fly to Spain
[03:14] <diddledan> o_O
[03:15] <diddledan> weirdo
[03:15] <daftykins> :D
[03:15] <zmoylan-pi> if only the post office had a way to send you the thing without the travel...
[03:16] <daftykins> it's me sending the thing!
[03:16] <daftykins> there is method in my madness, but alas it is hush hush rockdweller speak ;)
[03:16] <zmoylan-pi> if only they made post offices in other countries...
[03:17] <zmoylan-pi> you could send the package to someone you know in uk to send it from there if it needs a uk post mark
[03:17] <daftykins> nah
[03:18] <daftykins> right, shower and bed for me
[03:18] <daftykins> \o
[03:18] <zmoylan-pi> weirdest package i sent was vikings to norway...
[03:18] <zmoylan-pi> o/
[03:19] <diddledan> wait, you sent vikings TO norway?
[03:19] <diddledan> isn't that backasswards?
[03:19] <zmoylan-pi> i felt as an irish person it was the thing to do... :-)
[03:19] <diddledan> lol
[03:20] <zmoylan-pi> in this case lego vikings to norwegian friends for their wedding present.  both huge geeks really into lego
[03:20] <diddledan> \o/
[03:20] <diddledan> lego!
[03:20] <zmoylan-pi> plus star wars lego coz, well they're geeks
[03:20] <diddledan> apparently the PS4 runs a heavily modified freebsd
[03:21] <zmoylan-pi> had to use 2 hp pc boxes to make a box big enough to hold all the sets
[03:21] <zmoylan-pi> wouldn't fit in post office hatch, had to open door to take it in
[03:22] <zmoylan-pi> didn't someone get linux running on ps4 in last few days... till sony shuts them out with a patch i suppose
[03:22] <ali1234> they used an old firmware... lready patched
[03:22] <diddledan> I heard something along those lines, yeah
[03:23] <ali1234> it was a webkit exploit
[03:46] <mapps> i thought linux alredy ran on the ps4?
[03:47] <zmoylan-pi> that was the ps3, till sony removed the option
[03:48] <zmoylan-pi> dumbest thing sony ever did
[03:51] <mapps> i thought one uses linux officially some custom one
[03:52] <zmoylan-pi> it did, the ps3 had 'other os' option but sony removed it and annoyed a suprisingly large number of people
[03:54] <mapps> hm
[03:54] <mapps> this big short is ok
[03:54] <mapps> did you see evil dead?
[04:48] <mapps> sleep time soon
[04:49] <mapps> anyone here ue kodi/xbmc?
[04:57] <diddledan> ergh: http://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2016/jan/06/north-korea-major-announcement-artificial-earthquake-nuclear-test-site-live?CMP=fb_gu
[04:59] <mapps> hm
[05:26] <mapps> finished the big short:D
[07:37] <Gsp> Hi, are you interested to to help me with a survey for my startup ?          http://goo.gl/forms/JizEdZWM5Y
[07:42] <mapps> in a bit
[08:11] <Guest88069> morning all
[08:12] <MooDoo> morning even
[08:20] <knightwise> morning peeps
[08:21] <MooDoo> :)
[08:25] <knightwise> Just setup a brand new Raspberry pi install at home. Using the dietpi distro, pretty sweet
[08:25] <knightwise> you can add and subtract whatever you want to run on the pi using simple scripts
[08:27] <pwaring> Is that at a higher level than apt-get?
[08:28] <knightwise> nah, dont think so , just some clever scripts
[08:37] <knightwise> hey cleder
[09:05] <davmor2> Morning all
[09:06] <Gsp> Morning
[09:25] <cleder> morning
[09:26] <MooDoo> morning
[09:34] <davmor2> MooDoo: Morning dude how you feeling today other than hating virgin
[09:34] <foobarry> hmm
[09:35] <foobarry> makemkv not working for me :(
[09:35] <foobarry> "application failed to initialise"
[09:41] <davmor2> foobarry: did you you follow all the instructions in the right order
[09:42] <foobarry> there's instructions?
[09:42] <foobarry> there's a forum post
[09:42] <foobarry> however i discovered that makemkvcon might be all i need
[09:42] <davmor2> foobarry: and there are instructions on the post and a readme file iirc
[09:42] <foobarry> the configure make make install did work for the gui though, and the bare forum post intrucctions
[09:42]  * foobarry checks for readme
[09:48] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[09:58] <MooDoo> davmor2: yeah i'm ok thanks, just waiting for my new books
[10:20] <Gsp> Can you help me to share a survey for a new laptop concept ?     http://goo.gl/forms/JizEdZWM5Y
[10:52] <andylockran> morning!
[10:53] <Myrtti> time of day
[10:56] <pendulum> Hiya
[10:56] <MooDoo> :)
[11:08] <davmor2> JamesTait: Oh hey you're here now ;)
[11:09] <davmor2> JamesTait: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9lFqxGGCXQ
[11:09] <JamesTait> davmor2, I'm not, not really. It's a cunning illusion.
[11:11] <JamesTait> davmor2, I feel old now!
[11:11] <davmor2> JamesTait: good one for todays topic though right :)
[11:12] <bigcalm> Good morning peeps :)
[11:12] <davmor2> bigcalm: hey dude
[11:13] <JamesTait> davmor2, yep. Happy Technology Day. ☺
[11:13] <JamesTait> "There's the dance floor - get on it!"
[11:15] <davmor2> JamesTait: No I'm older than you I'll prop up the bar with moodoo and watch you young whippersnappers act like fools on the dancefloor
[11:20] <MooDoo> :)
[12:25] <foobarry> just discovered a tool called "name my tv series"
[12:25] <foobarry> really handy
[12:25] <foobarry> for setting correct names on files
[12:32] <knightwise> foobarry: that sounds cool
[12:33] <knightwise> to make the DL's plex compatible
[12:33] <foobarry> rips
[12:33] <foobarry> yeah
[12:35] <knightwise> rips , of course
[13:38]  * bigcalm grumbles at network stuff
[13:39] <bigcalm> My work work station has decided not to connect to the office router. Either via ethernet cable or via wifi
[13:39] <bigcalm> But I can connect to my mifi wifi
[13:39] <bigcalm> Ethernet cable from wall is connected to desk phone, that works. Plugging the workstation into the wall still doesn't work
[13:40] <bigcalm> What's happened, any way I can debug this?
[13:40] <bigcalm> Rebooting my workstation has not helped
[13:40] <bigcalm> Rebooting the office router during office hours, when everybody else can use it okay, is not really an option I have
[13:43] <bigcalm> From /var/log/syslog: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14420092/
[13:51] <SuperMatt> "DHCPv4 request timed out" There's a problem with the DHCP service on your network
[13:51] <SuperMatt> meaning you can't be offered and IP address
[13:51] <SuperMatt> you may be able to create a static ip for now
[13:59] <bigcalm> I'll try that
[13:59] <bigcalm> Ta
[14:03] <bigcalm> Yep, setting a static IP address worked
[14:03] <bigcalm> Thanks
[14:05] <bigcalm> Computers suck
[14:17] <SuperMatt> yeah, I hate them so much
[14:20] <foobarry> i hate printers and dvds
[14:21] <SuperMatt> oh god, printers are the worst
[14:21] <foobarry> i am still fighting with a good CLI dvd ripping solution
[14:22] <SuperMatt> I understand why they're so goddamn complex, but for 99% of offices, the only options that are needed are "colour [y/N]" and "two-sided [Y/n]"
[14:23] <SuperMatt> You could then have one other printer in the office which has different paper sizes, which only certified individuals can print to
[14:24] <foobarry> ripping tv shows sucks
[14:24] <SuperMatt> well yeah, but that's because bbc will constantly change the way their site works in order to prevent dirty pirates, like you
[14:25] <foobarry> no, i have the DVDs
[14:25] <foobarry> i just want to watch them on my tablet
[14:26] <SuperMatt> oh
[14:26] <SuperMatt> well Ububtu used to come with a good ripper
[14:26] <SuperMatt> but I can't remember what it was called
[14:27] <DJones> SuperMatt: Wasn't that handbrake or devede
[14:27] <SuperMatt> I think it was devede
[14:28] <SuperMatt> tbh, I just watch everything on netflix
[14:28] <SuperMatt> but if it's not there, I will exercise my right to use a competative service
[14:29] <SuperMatt> whether that is legal or not is neither here nor there
[14:29] <foobarry> the tedium is when 7 titles are on a disc and only 4 are real programmes
[14:29] <DJones> Might have been handbrake, that seems to be a dvd ripper, while devede was for creating dvd's
[14:29] <SuperMatt> you're probably right
[14:30] <foobarry> handbrake is good but even the cli requires manual interaction
[14:30] <foobarry> i'm sure somebody has the correct bash script somwehere to make it all easy
[14:30] <SuperMatt> you could write it all yourself, of course ;)
[14:30] <SuperMatt> bash is nice and easy realy
[14:31] <foobarry> bash is, although finding the correct options and undesrtanding dvd title format...
[14:31] <foobarry> oh, just found lsdvd
[14:31] <SuperMatt> you just want to be able to put a dvd in, execute a script, and walk away, right?
[14:32] <SuperMatt> huh, I've never noticed this before, but chrome now gives me arabic autocomplete in the omnibar
[14:33] <foobarry> SuperMatt: yeah, with movies its easy
[14:33] <SuperMatt> it has probably been doing that for an age and I've never noticed though
[14:33] <foobarry> just grab the longest track
[14:33] <foobarry> trying a new way now
[14:35] <SuperMatt> cool
[14:36] <DJones> I knew there was a reason I'd never used blinkbox...Its now been renamed "TalkTalk TV"
[14:52] <foobarry> lol
[14:52] <foobarry> talktalk is a rubbish name
[14:52] <foobarry> i never use the phone
[14:57] <diddledan> yeah it's sucky - I used blinkbox because I got tesco points.. now I don't get those :-(
[15:06] <foobarry> facebook is so needy when you stop using it
[15:06] <foobarry> getting all sorts of notifications after only 2 days
[15:06] <foobarry> android notifications, not within app
[15:07] <foobarry> and emails "activity you've missed"
[15:08] <DJones> Twitter does the same and then says "Do you like this"....No I don't, I didn't yesterday, or the day before, or the month before when I said I didn't like it then either
[15:16] <pendulum> I mostly stopped using Facebook a year and a half ago. The longer you're gone, the fewer notifications you get.
[15:18] <pendulum> They don't go completely away
[15:21] <pendulum> On the rare occasion I go on to check something, I'm pretty much guaranteed to get a notification on my phone within 12 hours. I might get a second in the first 2 days, but then it usually goes back to normal.
[15:23] <pendulum> I use Facebook messenger through the separate app more frequently, but that doesn't seem to effect how often I get notifications
[15:33] <foobarry> i'm doing my annual get off social media and total news blackout
[15:34] <DJones> INteresting, my Itel display driver for Win 8 has stopped responding, thats pretty clever as I'm using Win 10
[15:40] <popey> time for an irc nick change too foobarry :)
[15:46] <diddledan> DJones, impressive
[15:53] <foobarry> heh
[15:59] <foobarry> diplo: davmor2 , know how to get makemkvcon to produce filenames that aren't title0.mkv?
[16:01] <foobarry> bah, ignore that. just realised handbrake allows for minimum track length option, so it performs everything makedvd can do
[16:24] <daftykins> DJones: there's your problem! the wrong one's installed ;)
[16:53] <diddledan> mapps, sky1 are advertising a new series with james nesbitt by stan lee called "lucky man". coming soon they say
[16:53] <diddledan> looks good
[17:22] <davmor2> diddledan: there is a new show on syfy in January called the Magicians that look like it could be good http://www.syfy.com/themagicians
[17:40] <bigcalm> http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0841027/
[17:41] <davmor2> bigcalm: The Magicians not Magicians :P  Although that one is comedy gold :)
[17:42] <bigcalm> 'tis a fun film
[21:05] <diddledan> davmor2, thanks for the recommendation, another I just found on imdb is "second chance"
