[00:12] Azelphur: did you check the SMART table on that disk? :> [00:12] daftykins: NO, STAY AWAY FROM MY DRIVES [00:13] daftykins: hehe, yea I had a look, but it doesn't seem so bad [00:14] :D [00:14] fancy sharing a paste? :> smartctl -a /dev/sda naturally [00:16] daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14500056/ opinions? [00:16] oh SSD anyway [00:25] small EVO :( [00:25] * diddledan EVO lves [00:25] well as long as you keep it backed up :D [00:26] I've got a 1TB EVO 840 and a 500GB EVO 850 :-p [00:26] Azelphur: looks like you're behind on the firmware [00:27] diddledan: I've got 1TB EVO 850 and a 120GB 840 EVO [00:27] daftykins: yea, I've never upgraded it [00:27] i'd be willing to bet that spot's charge dropped enough that it wasn't so easily readable, marking the disk as needing an fsck [00:27] ah well the 840 EVOs had an issue identified that means the latest firmware periodically rewrites given cells to prolong/boost their readability [00:28] yeah I upgraded the firmware on my 840 [00:28] guess I should too [00:28] that smartctl speaks of EXT0BB6Q whilst the site has EXT0DB6Q :> [00:28] http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/minisite/SSD/downloads/software/Samsung_SSD_840_PRO_Series_DXM06B0Q_Win_Mac.iso [00:29] is it easy to upgrade the FW on a Linux machine? [00:29] hmm [00:29] no idea [00:30] well that appears to be a bootable ISO [00:30] i was on - http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/minisite/SSD/global/html/support/downloads.html [00:48] I see Tim will be going for his spacewalk tomorrow :) [00:48] Who'd ever think a Sussex born and bred lad would go up to the ISS. [00:50] hah [00:50] i met him once or twice ;d [00:51] I don't have that sort of claim, I'm just proud that somebody from Sussex is now floating around in space :) [00:55] well, i understan he was a good pilot, he was an apache test pilot on the base i was attached to. [01:00] ooh [01:00] fancy [01:03] i assume apache anyway, there were only two army guys, and i met both - and we only had apaches at the time i think. [01:03] anywho - pretty cool [01:04] portsmouth uni alumni too, daftykins ;) [01:05] that poor, poor... [01:05] i'm amazed that wasn't an instant disqualification ;) [01:06] hah. [01:07] it's crazy that 8GB of ram isn't enough to run OSX with a windows 10 VM [01:09] how is it not? that seems simple [01:10] because with a 2GB VM I run out of ram [01:11] i.e. my mac starts having issues with swapping and compressed ram [01:11] and the "memory pressure" graph goes right to the top [01:16] did you already have a tonne of junk running on the host? [01:22] well I use the host for things, yeah [01:22] not quite what i meant :P [01:23] shutting everything I'm working with down just because I need a windows utility seems a bit... counter producting [01:23] productive* [01:24] there's no point it being a VM in that case, I might as well dual boot [01:24] well it'd be pretty obvious based on use whether something is gonna work well or not isn't it [01:24] time for more RAM :) [01:24] yeah. more ram means new mac. these have the ram soldered on the board [01:24] ah, they're evil for that [01:25] I'm far too scared to consider resoldering! :-p [01:26] i wouldn't be surprised if that wasn't even an option [01:28] also what happened to that surface of yours? :) === Guest51068 is now known as MooDoo [06:15] morning all [06:16] morning [06:17] upgradin to 16.04 :D [06:22] D: [06:22] bit early no? [06:24] daftykins: yeah probably, but hay what the hell, i'm a nutter :D [06:42] proper temperature drop today [06:52] morning [06:53] sooo openssh to patch [07:22] hi all === Lcawte|Away is now known as Lcawte [08:23] howdy mapps [09:20] Morning all happy Friday [09:34] anyone going for IRC council membership? [09:35] irc is organised?! :-P [09:36] lol [09:54] * davmor2 sees zmoylan-pi nick disappear in a puff of smoke [09:56] zmoylan-pi: never insult our irc overlords, bow humbly and worship at the foot of the irc totem, then frolic and have fun on irc again :D [09:58] IRC RAGE LEVEL: ▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▰▱▱▱▱▱▱▱▱▱ [09:59] zmoylan-pi: see how you anger the overlords worship I said worship damn you ;) [10:00] Good morning all! Happy Friday, and happy Hat Day! 😃 🎩 [10:11] morning davmor2 JamesTait [10:11] morning boys and girls. [10:12] popey: OMG it's over 9000 :) [10:12] morning brobostigon [10:13] morning MooDoo [10:17] Good morning peeps :) [10:17] morning bigcalm :) [10:18] o/ [10:25] :) [10:26] the evernote login page really annoys me [10:26] they never remember your settings and have these annoying people with gummy smiles [10:28] JamesTait: here is an odd one for your day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3l0kpl5tA4 [10:29] foobarry, ditto [10:32] davmor2, marks for originality. [10:33] JamesTait: trying for a nice tune with a hat that wasn't obvious :) That one sprang to mind :D [10:35] JamesTait: I think not playing anything by men without hats is a good bet too [10:36] JamesTait: that is this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NytXT-U-tg [10:47] there is even [10:52] has anyone come across guix? [10:53] its an alternate package manager and software distribution that sits under its own tree [10:53] allegedly useful for providing up to date gnu binaries on centos [10:53] which are sometimes required to build stuff [11:00] yeah, vaguely [11:00] based on Nix isn't it? [11:01] i dunno. users are asking for it for hpc [11:02] a bit wary if they use guix tools as dependency for their tools, due to their continuous updating nature [11:04] foobarry: would likely cause a lot of system issues if they suddenly land gcc5 on a system built for 4.x too maybe [11:04] its all contained in one fieltree [11:04] and doesn't touch /usr/ [11:05] however i'm rather wary of it all [11:07] I'd be setting up a VM test and try it out myself [11:07] its rather a long term concern [11:07] and how users will depend on it [11:08] http://elephly.net/posts/2015-04-17-gnu-guix.html [11:08] this guy is for it [11:09] however his arguments for it seem also to be the arugments against it [11:09] Is it defo needed though or a ncie to have I guess is the point you need to decide on [11:09] we provide updated versions of tools manually via modules commands [11:10] its kind of the devops side effect of users wanting more while bypassing the ops guys [11:10] So a very very very quick overview, it basically lets users run new versions of stuff but not affect others [11:10] Doing things like virtualenv etc [11:11] provides newest gnu packages that might not be in your distro [11:11] however we do a lot of that ourselves via modules [11:13] It sounds to me like you're on your way to doing what is required, just need to keep on top of it for them and over what they need? [11:13] i think the solution probably lies in understanding their requirements better [11:13] what tools they claim to require [11:20] yeah I was meant to put that at the end of my sentence :D [12:00] vagrant .deb is 70MB !! [12:00] what the heck is in there [12:20] hwody [12:24] andylockran: Hwody right back at ya :) [12:33] davmor2: oi I'm the howdy man around here :p [12:34] MooDoo: that's fine I didn't steal your thunder I said Hwody not Howdy :P [12:34] davmor2: hows things?

[15:30] doesn't seem to have youtube on it though [15:32] yeah, can't play amazon video on chromecast, and can't play google stuff on amazon fire [15:33] sucks [15:33] mind you, my chromecast isn't needed much now i have a telly that has smarts [15:34] i am slowly converting all my dvds [15:34] my dvd shelf is really hard to access [16:11] I prefer using the Chromecast over Samsung's shitty smart TV OS [16:12] They keep forcing their partner apps onto it [16:12] displacing the things I actually want to be easily accessible [16:15] i have £15 to spend on goog play [16:15] can't think of anything i want [16:32] books [16:32] lots of books [16:32] that's where most of my goog money goes [16:37] i've been reading the same book for a while [16:37] bit of a long read, but a goody [16:37] enigma by hug sebag montefiore [16:37] the ultimate story of enigma and cool naval battles [16:43] try master and commander series. the author took all the engagements from naval records from napolean wars [16:50] FreeSat box has a Netflix app. I hope it gets an Amazon Prime video app soon [16:51] Now that I've been using Amazon Prime Video for a bit, I think that there was more available on Netflix that interested me [16:56] Just got Netflix myself today [16:57] And national trust membership :) [17:00] We have life time NT membership.
