[00:19] <diddledan> anyone on BT? my connection seems dead
[00:30] <diddledan> BT say: "A small number of our customers in the areas shown below, may experience a loss of telephone and/or broadband services." and then list two dozen locations
[00:30] <diddledan> maybe even three-dozen
[00:31] <diddledan> 48 locations in total for "small number of customers"
[00:31] <diddledan> methinks canned text is bad
[00:32] <zmoylan-pi> if the 3 laws of robots were in operation the bot would know that lying to you would harm...
[00:33] <diddledan> it's surprising I'm still connected here really
[00:33] <diddledan> I can't get a tracepath to 8.8.8.8 to finish
[00:33] <diddledan> the last hop that responds on that is peer1-et-10-1-0.telehouse.ukcore.bt.net
[00:36] <zmoylan-pi> first step in camerons porn filter... just turn off the internet... :-P
[00:37] <diddledan> I'm awaiting the day I have to phone BT and tell them "I want you to classify me in the perverts list please"
[00:37] <zmoylan-pi> they get that from the irc logs...
[00:38] <diddledan> maybe I should phone and start out with "I'm a pervert"
[00:38] <zmoylan-pi> can i speak to someone in the filth deparment?
[00:38] <diddledan> yeah that'll work
[00:39] <zmoylan-pi> probably put through to management...
[00:39] <diddledan> lol
[00:39] <diddledan> or "can you tell me how I can become a filthy pervert?"
[00:40] <zmoylan-pi> get put through to conservative party hq...
[00:40] <diddledan> haha
[00:41] <diddledan> well yeah, it does seem ironic that the perverts list designed to "protect the children, omg the children" will be primarily full of conservative MPs and peers
[00:45] <diddledan> so how about a wedding proposal that takes the form "set course for the curch, warp factor 8, engage"
[00:46] <diddledan> you'll be there within 8 parsecs
[00:47] <zmoylan-pi> load photon toasters
[00:56] <zmoylan-pi> and parsecs is a measurement of distance not of time... a mistake from star wars that persists
[00:59] <m0nkey_> FIRE PHASERS

[08:59] <awilkins> I'm sure we've all seen this but NIIIIICE : https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2016/02/29/minecrafts-most-obscene-server/
[08:59] <awilkins> Arrgh
[08:59] <awilkins> Not that one
[08:59] <awilkins> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiEkCaA_P7c
[09:00]  * awilkins mumbles about multiple copy buffers
[09:01] <awilkins> I'm really impressed that they're using a Nexus 4 for the phone convergence demo (not least because my phone is one of those)
[09:09] <davmor2> Morning all
[09:11] <foobarry> did freenode fall over for everyone or just me?
[09:11] <foobarry> for 10 mins
[09:11] <Myrtti> just you
[09:11] <foobarry> hmm. ircnet stayed up
[09:12] <Myrtti> well, a few others, but still
[09:12] <Myrtti> smallish glitch
[09:12] <Myrtti> ever so sorry
[09:12] <foobarry> don't take it personally :D
[09:12] <foobarry> i prefer to blame our internal networks group
[09:13] <Myrtti> I'm not, just apologizing and engaging with the userbase :-P
[09:29] <foobarry> thankyou :D
[10:06] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[10:17] <knightwise> hey brobostigon
[10:17] <brobostigon> hi knightwise
[10:24] <davmor2> Myrtti: awwwww look at you being all caring and stuff of course the sticking the tongue out at the end makes it seem a little less serious :D
[10:35] <knightwise> Apple keyboards are a pita
[11:07] <foobarry> nfs writes to a server are < 1mbs. iperf and reads are fast (1gb/s)
[11:07] <foobarry> :S
[11:13] <awilkins> Apple Keyboards are a PITA ++
[11:13] <awilkins> I used to take my own keyboard when I had to support one
[11:22] <brobostigon> good ep of ds9 on, the time travel/trouble with triblles crossover ep. :)
[11:22] <brobostigon> tribbles*
[11:23] <zmoylan-pi> dax in retro uniform...
[11:24] <brobostigon> :)
[12:40] <diplo> Anyone use hplip on centos ?
[12:41] <knightwise> zmoylan-pi: Fantastic episode
[12:41] <knightwise> terry farrel looks good in anything.
[12:45] <davmor2> diplo: MooDoo might of that's the kinda cray thing he does
[12:47] <MooDoo> davmor2: no not me
[12:48] <davmor2> diplo: man you might be stuffed if even MooDoo wasn't that brave :D
[12:49] <diplo> :)
[12:49] <diplo> Trying to install new hplip on a box, but it wants to install the older version as dependency, failing to find out why
[12:49] <diplo> Boss doesn't want me to spend to much time so will leave for now :)
[12:49] <davmor2> diplo: because it hates you?
[12:50] <diplo> Most likely! it is centos after all :)
[12:55] <zmoylan-pi> always thought it was wasted opportunity when they went disguised as klingons that she wasn't sent as well...
[13:03] <awilkins> hah, the executive producers would have had conniptions
[13:04] <awilkins> "But, but, Dax is HOT. Klingon women aren't hot.... "
[13:05] <zmoylan-pi> worf's missus (alexanders ma) in tng was hot...
[13:05] <awilkins> She was half-klingon
[13:06] <awilkins> They allowed women who were 50% Klingon or less to be hot
[13:06] <zmoylan-pi> the klingon that neelix got it on with in tuvoks quarters was hot...
[13:06] <awilkins> (To be fair, there were plenty of very attractive Klingon women in Trek)
[13:06] <awilkins> Like the lady who Quark helps out
[13:07] <zmoylan-pi> best episode of trek ever... quark explaining business transactions to klingon high council... :-D
[13:08] <zmoylan-pi> a bunch of klingon warriors studying math on their padds
[13:09] <awilkins> And the masterful victory over the guy who just wanted to kill him anyway
[13:10] <awilkins> "Just how honourable is it, killing a pathetic Ferengi gnome who won't even defend himself....."
[13:10] <zmoylan-pi> d'ghor, son of... whoever... :-P
[13:11] <awilkins> T'wonk
[13:12] <zmoylan-pi> oooh, grilka also played na'toth in b5...
[13:19] <foobarry> i dont like star trek, etc but i particularly despise that little ratty man
[13:19] <foobarry> the greedy money grabbing guy with the funny teeth.
[13:20] <foobarry> mrs foobarry seems to watch it every other day
[13:20] <zmoylan-pi> you're meant to dislike ferengi as they are obsessed with money and their attitudes towards women are... primitive.... but you end up liking quark... to a degree
[13:21] <foobarry> and also that creepy dr guy who thinks he's a hit with ladies
[13:21] <awilkins> Yeah, Quark has one of the better character development arcs
[13:21] <awilkins> You like him because he's actually quite brave and progressive for his society
[13:22] <foobarry> every story is basically writen by teenagers who fancy girls and want to snog them
[13:22] <zmoylan-pi> bashir is young naive when he arrives (or at least acts that way till we find he's a mutant) but learns from garak
[13:22] <foobarry> angst and unrequited love
[13:22] <foobarry> more snogging than an epsiode of neighoburs
[13:23] <awilkins> Enterprise was the worst. Been rewatching it recently
[13:23] <awilkins> Archer was just a terrible, terrible, awful person
[13:23] <awilkins> I challenge anyone to watch "A Night In Sickbay" and not think this
[13:23] <zmoylan-pi> i liked archer as captain, i just think the show was badly done even if it had great episodes
[13:24] <awilkins> He throws a massive hissy fit because his dog gets sick!
[13:24] <foobarry> the irish IT guy looks a lot like my neighbour
[13:24] <awilkins> And because the aliens didn't bother to do a full genetic workup on the 3GB of data they send them about the dog and warn them about the pathogen!
[13:25] <zmoylan-pi> well 2gb was funny cat videos... :-)
[13:25] <awilkins> And because aliens they already encountered and know to be surprisingly touchy are upset because his dog, which for some reason he took on a diplomatic visit, pees on their sacred tree
[13:26] <awilkins> These are aliens that are horribly offended by people eating in public. Like eating has the same taboo level as sex for them.
[13:26] <zmoylan-pi> look at humans and breast feeding...
[13:26] <awilkins> And he brings his miniature beagle to a diplomatic meeting, that species well known for it's restraint and inoffensiveness
[13:26]  * brobostigon preferred jean luc as captain, :)
[13:27] <awilkins> And THEN..... sulks in sickbay for 24 hours instead of getting off his butt and doing his job, apologizing to the aliens so they can get the parts they need to keep their starship going
[13:27] <awilkins> Worst. Captain. Ever.
[13:27] <zmoylan-pi> i prefer sisko if you want combat, picard if you want diplomacy, but when the borg arrive hope for janeway...
[13:27] <awilkins> .. from the future?
[13:28] <foobarry> i have literally no idea how people can enjoy this guff
[13:29] <brobostigon> it was also interesting see beveraly crusher as captain and married to jean luc.
[13:29] <brobostigon> beverly*
[13:29] <zmoylan-pi> i think it was said best in stargate sg:1 by meta character... :-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPkoqH2iQIQ
[13:32] <foobarry> any nagios users who can check something for me please?
[13:32] <foobarry> i use adagios and the locations of files are a bit different.
[13:32] <foobarry> what is the content of /usr/local/nagios/var/status.log
[13:32] <foobarry> where /usr/local/nagios/var/status.log is the file as defined with 'status_file=' in nagios.cfg.
[13:33] <foobarry> please
[13:33] <foobarry> is it the HOST ALERT DOWN UP type mesages?
[13:34] <knightwise> awilkins: archer sucked
[13:34] <knightwise> my captain ? kirk - kirk - kirk
[13:48] <awilkins> Aye Carumba, does the Republican race close today?
[13:48] <foobarry> whens the election?
[13:49] <zmoylan-pi> december?
[13:49] <zmoylan-pi> donald drumpf for el supremo
[13:50] <foobarry> adolf trump?
[13:50] <foobarry> surely sanity will prevail
[13:50] <zmoylan-pi> republicans... sanity...
[13:50] <foobarry> even still
[13:50] <brobostigon> mussolini reincarnated.
[13:53] <diplo> foobarry: just got back, still need nagios info ?
[13:53] <foobarry> think i'm ok, thanks
[13:53] <diplo> Mines package installed though, looks like yours was compiled
[13:53] <awilkins> Bernie, Bernie, he's our man! If he can't do it.... we're all doomed to an eternity of corporate rule!
[13:53] <diplo> OK
[13:53] <foobarry> will let u know if it doesn't work. trying to use nagcon
[13:53] <diplo> k
[13:54] <awilkins> Although TBF, there are probably strategic meetings going on right now discussing how to destroy a Sanders presidency
[13:55] <foobarry> diplo: yes pls can u check that file?
[13:58] <diplo> OK, what info you want to know? It's basically full of info, from Nagios version to satus of events etc
[13:58] <foobarry> like, DOWN UP info?
[13:59] <diplo> Just checking specifically
[13:59] <diplo> lugin_output=PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 50.63 ms
[13:59] <diplo> Guess so yes
[13:59] <foobarry> yeah, cool. ta
[14:00] <diplo> Mines in status.dat but that is what status_file points to on mine
[14:05] <foobarry> :( there's v little documentation online for this tool, but itshandy terminal display for nagios alerts
[14:13] <foobarry> OPENSSL bug fix released today
[14:14] <foobarry> website is slow
[14:15] <awilkins> This is the fix for the attack that isn't DROWN then?
[14:15] <foobarry> new mystery bugs announced today
[14:16] <foobarry> yes its DROWN
[14:16] <foobarry> https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv/20160301.txt
[14:17] <awilkins> Which you can avoid by disabling SSL
[14:18] <foobarry> they need to stop scaring everyone
[14:40] <foobarry> diplo: please could you  grep PACKETLOSS status.dat
[14:41] <foobarry> see if anything appears?
[14:43] <diplo> Nope, empty
[14:43] <foobarry> thanks
[14:43] <diplo> foobarry:
[14:43] <diplo> Doesn't work like that though does it ? performance_data=time=0.028158s;;;0.000000;10.000000 it responds with stuff like this normally doesn't it ?
[14:43] <diplo> Been a while since I poked the internals
[14:44] <diplo> plugin_output=PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 53.61 ms
[14:48] <foobarry> fixed my problem with an uber ugly hack
[14:49] <diplo> Nothing wrong with ugly hacks as long as you document them
[16:39] <gebbione> is it possible to port my current OS and from the current hardisk to a new one? I need more space
[16:40] <gebbione> also is it easy to just change hardware with ubuntu or changing MB, RAM CPU (a new I7) will require a new install?
[16:54] <directhex_> yes, and yes.
[21:07] <mapito> hi
[21:47] <mapito> ;]
[21:47] <mapito> gotham so good
[22:50] <lazybones_> hi all, linux newbe[ie, just want to edit a text file in etc, but cant seem to get arounf fikle permission both graphical and shell env`s
[23:00] <diddledan> lazybones_, files in /etc are protected from non-root users' editing them (usually) so on ubuntu you can use the command `sudo nano /etc/file/name` in a terminal which will then ask for a password which is your normal ubuntu password
