| daftykins | hi | 19:56 |
| freeadnam | I was just seeing if this really works. kinda new to irc | 19:57 |
| daftykins | ah, plenty of other channels are useful for such testing then | 19:58 |
| freeadnam | sorry, my bad. | 19:58 |
| DosTuMai | Have you tried #ubuntu for any tech? | 20:02 |
| DosTuMai | It's always great to have open just to watch these guys in awe. | 20:02 |
| daftykins | as long as you can turn a blind eye to me slating the ones that enjoy reinventing the wheel | 20:03 |
| DosTuMai | I'm just a network & cryptology nerd. >_> | 20:03 |
| DosTuMai | xD | 20:04 |
| daftykins | sudormrf -> well known channel idiot | 20:09 |
| daftykins | if i could script i would have an auto reply of "what've you broken this time?" on his join | 20:09 |
| OerHeks | wait .. i thought i was the channel id... never mind | 20:37 |
| daftykins | :D | 20:37 |
| daftykins | aww sorry OerHeks i've stolen your dream title | 20:37 |
| OerHeks | :-( | 20:37 |
| OerHeks | please please please | 20:38 |
| OerHeks | let me ruin one server tonight | 20:38 |
| OerHeks | /j #mint-server | 20:39 |
| daftykins | XD | 20:40 |
| daftykins | oh did you guys read about that person who, for fun ran "rm -rf /" on their machine before planning to do a clean install... only to find that due to a bug in their system's EFI, their EFI boot variables were set as read-write... so the whole system was bricked | 20:41 |
| daftykins | it wouldn't even POST after that | 20:41 |
| daftykins | seriously nasty :S | 20:41 |
| OerHeks | hang the disk in an other machine, non-uefi, and zero it ? | 20:42 |
| daftykins | nah the rm actually wiped EFI items under /proc - which meant the motherboard was useless after | 20:42 |
| OerHeks | oh, don't know about that | 20:43 |
| daftykins | http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/02/02/delete_efivars_linux/ | 20:43 |
| daftykins | here we are | 20:43 |
| OerHeks | but uefi is nasty indeed, i hesitate buying a fresh machine | 20:44 |
| daftykins | lots of buggy ones out there, indeedy | 20:44 |
| daftykins | actually i updated the BIOS on a clients' Dell desktop the other day ahead of putting some new RAM in... afterwards i could no longer install Windows 7 in EFI mode, only legacy - ho-hum | 20:45 |
| daftykins | OerHeks: glad you got there before me, i was going to say "bless you!" to that user ;) | 22:45 |
| OerHeks | :-D | 22:45 |
| OerHeks | i know some dirty turkish .. pardon me | 22:46 |
| daftykins | going here for lunch tomorrow: http://www.rocsalt.gg/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Seagull.jpg | 23:00 |
| daftykins | hoping that guy doesn't turn up | 23:01 |
| daftykins | :D | 23:01 |
| OerHeks | smoked seagull is nice | 23:01 |
| OerHeks | .. with lots of sage and garlic | 23:01 |
| Bashing-om | daftykins: WB ,, ya been gone so long ! Did I miss the party ? Ballons, whistles and lots of cookies ? | 23:51 |
| daftykins | hello there :) | 23:52 |
| daftykins | just a good long break really! are you well? | 23:52 |
| OerHeks | ... wait, cookies? | 23:52 |
| Bashing-om | daftykins: Minor interruption in the flow .. Semi-truck took out the lines and power poles, was a bit getting service restored . | 23:54 |
| daftykins | ouch! were you without power for long? | 23:55 |
| daftykins | and internet too presumably? | 23:55 |
| Bashing-om | daftykins: Power was on a different grid . The interruption was at the point of presence of our cable provider . Took out the fiber optics also . Ouch ! | 23:58 |
| daftykins | oh no! | 23:58 |
| daftykins | sounds like you might have had a good holiday (albeit forced) from here as well though ;) | 23:59 |
