diddledanchrome is gonna support a compression for web content that is supposed to be better than gzip: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+IlyaGrigorik/posts/X9ogn4fLtHL14:24
diddledanI’m assuming the equivalent commandline utility would be bzip2?14:24
diddledanI don’t know what brotli is14:25
diddledanseems not, bzip is burrows-wheeler14:27
diddledanbrotli is entirely google - invented (first release) 201314:27
m0nkey_diddledan: did that download from my server work okay? what kind of speeds were you getting?14:28
diddledanm0nkey_: it finished, I’ve not checked whether the files were intact, but they were the right size - I went to bed so didn’t monitor the speed14:28
diddledanI think it was reading 30 minutes once it got going14:29
m0nkey_heh, i've not tested it myself.14:29
diddledanthe transfer time of 30 minutes I mean14:29
m0nkey_i really need to upgrade my ISP quota.. 400GB this month isn't going to be enough :)14:30
diddledan:-p14:30
diddledanquotas are a pain to work within14:30
diddledanyou _always_ want/need more14:30
m0nkey_that's Canada for you.. most expensive services on the planet14:30
diddledanouch14:31
diddledanplus you’ve got a bad time right now with your exchange rate :-(14:31
m0nkey_The three mobile operators all pushed up their prices $5. All at the same time.14:33
m0nkey_The whole comms industry is corrupt.14:33
diddledangrr14:33
m0nkey_Even small ISPs like mine rely on these guys, and they keep pushing the price up for the small guy, who cannot absorb the cost and have to pass on to the customer. My bill went up $3 this month.14:34
m0nkey_That and the rising cost of fruits and vegetables.14:35
m0nkey_The out of season stuff is stupid expensive. A small punnet of raspberries is reaching over $6.14:35
m0nkey_Where as only last year, it was $314:35
m0nkey_So, to make it abundantly clear how much our currency is in the toilet, 1GBP buys 2.10CAD14:38
m0nkey_My bad, that was last week.. it recovered a little.. 2.03CAD14:39

lornajanehi people :)17:20
zmoylan-pio/17:20
lornajanehow would I find out what versions of libraries are likely to be in Ubuntu 16.04?  I assume there's a way to find that out for myself, but where do I look?17:21
zmoylan-pichannel will be a bit quiet as people battle way home and tea time but if you hang around you may get an answer17:21
pwaringlornajane: You could search http://packages.ubuntu.com/ and select xenial as the distro17:21
pwaringe.g. that suggests PHP will be 7.017:22
pwaringhttp://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/php17:22
lornajaneyeah, it's PHP I'm really looking at, any danger they will ship a 5.x as well?17:23
pwaringIt's been discussed (I know someone who works at Canonical)17:25
pwaringPersonally I think they will have to, but I don't have any say in it17:26
pwaringhttp://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/php517:26
pwaringThat suggests php will be 7.0, php5 (which is the package that gets installed at the moment) will be 5.x17:27
mappshello;]17:27
pwaringThere is no 'php' package in 15.10 or earlier17:27
pwaringSo most people will have php5 and will upgrade to 5.6.x17:27
lornajaneI think that's going to be perfect. Much as I would love everyone to be running PHP 7, 6 months after release is too soon for most people to be ready17:28
pwaringyes17:28
pwaring16.94 is long term support as well17:28
pwaring16.04 even17:28
pwaringSo dropping a major piece of software like PHP 5 would be a huge disadvantage17:28
* pwaring is trying to get one client to move off 5.217:29
lornajaneyeah I have most of my clients on 14.04, they're just not ready for PHP 7 but a platform with both means I can make the transition at some point after upgrade17:29
pwaringOr 5.3, I forget which17:29
lornajaneI moved one of my big work projects to 5.5 yesterday (Ubuntu 14.04 of course) so I'm happy about that17:29
lornajanethe PHP upgrades aren't difficult at all but some of the extenions aren't ready for PHP 7 so some people really can't move yet17:30
pwaringA lot of code breaks in 5.3->5.4 for my client17:30
pwaringWell, doesn't 'break' but causes thousands of E_NOTICE warnings17:30
bigcalmWith luck, php 7 will be back ported to Ubuntu 16.0417:31
bigcalmMaybe in a year17:31
lornajanepwaring: is it E_STRICT?  We turned that on by default in 5.417:31
lornajanealmost all systems got significantly noisier when that happened17:32
pwaringlornajane: yes, I suspect that's the issue17:33
pwaringThere's a local php.ini which sets error_reporting to E_ALL17:34
pwaringwhich I think now includes E_STRICT but didn't use to17:34
lornajanepwaring: exactly, yes17:34
lornajaneE_ALL means all now.  A radical move by the PHP community17:34
pwaringAlthough if you search for php 5.4 e_strict. I get a page saying that E_ALL doesn't include E_STRICT17:35
pwaringon php.net17:35
pwaringFirst hit on DDG17:35
pwaringand to be fair, PHP is hardly along17:36
pwaring-Wall doesn't mean all warnings in GCC :)17:36
lornajanegotta keep things interesting :)17:37
lornajanethis is really sane, PHP 5.6.16 and PHP 7.0.217:37
* pwaring pats clang with -Weverything17:38
bigcalmMay there come a day where we can have multiple versions installed, much like python does17:38
lornajanewe can, you can install all those packages17:39
pwaringyeah17:39
pwaringI remember having PHP 4 and PHP 5 installed17:39
pwaringYou can do the same with Java too17:39
pwaringAnd GCC I think17:39
lornajanepretty sure you should be able to install all of that and just use them both17:40
lornajanemight make installing extensions fun17:40
bigcalmInstalling everything via apt is what I want from life :) No idea how the extensions would be handled though17:45
* brobostigon is playing with rockwork on ubuntu touch21:39
mappsrockwork:D21:42
mappsO_O]21:42

mappsi dont fully get what youre doing21:52
mappsubuntu touch on pebble or somethng on ubuntu touch device21:52
mappsrockwork is what though..is that pebble os or something21:52
ali1234smartwatch has to be paired to a phone in order to do stuff21:53
mappsoh21:53
brobostigonrockwork is a pebble smartwatch integration app and service for ubuntu touch, which forwards notifications and the like to said pebble smartwatch.21:53
mappsaha:)21:53
brobostigon:)21:53
mappsnever used a smartwatch didnt think i need one21:53
* brobostigon has had three upto now, two pebble's and an android wear.21:54
mappsdo you use them much day-to-day21:55
brobostigonoh yes.21:55
mappsdoes it drain your smartphone battery at all?21:56
brobostigonas a normal watch for the most part, with added extras.21:56
brobostigonnot really, no.21:56
Myrttimy M360 doesn't drain the phone battery at all, and it itself has an astonishingly long battery life too21:57
brobostigonmy pebble can last me a week, between charges.21:59
brobostigonon step 4 https://mattimakinen.net/TTYYIrcBot/ what does that mean?22:10
mappssecond chance seems ok watching e122:11
mappshm22:11
mappsnot sure:p read the url and dont know heh22:14
brobostigonits an irssi plugin to send notification to telegram.22:14
diddledanbrobostigon: I guess you need to type /api_token which gives you a URL to open to generate an authorisation credential22:15
mappsthis sends notifications to your watch? cool22:16
brobostigondiddledan: it spits out an unknown command error.22:16
diddledanhmm22:16
brobostigonmapps: indirectly.22:16
mappscool22:17
brobostigon /script list definatly shows it there and loaded.22:17
diddledanbrobostigon: you need to send that text to “the bot” not to irssi by the looks22:34
diddledan"So start conversation by going to https://telegram.me/TTYYIrcBot."22:34
brobostigonexplain, how send it to thw bot, /msg ?22:35
diddledanI’m wondering what they mean by “quering yourself” <— is that trying to turn yourself into a 60s era perception of a gay person?22:36
diddledanthe bot is on telegram22:36
diddledanyou need to telegram message it I guess22:36
brobostigonand that will send me the api token to stick into the script?22:38
mappsoops22:38
