daftykins | i'd be surprised if there weren't a JS channel | 01:18 |
daftykins | !alis | 01:18 |
lubotu3 | alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" . For more help or questions relating to alis, please join #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu or /msg alis list http | 01:18 |
velusunivers-sys | there is but you either get i will do it for $5000 p/hr or figgure it out your self | 01:19 |
daftykins | maybe if you're only there 10 minutes | 01:20 |
velusunivers-sys | i have been in the leaflet channel for 3 days now and got only the same response | 01:20 |
daftykins | ah good community then :> | 01:20 |
velusunivers-sys | yeah the best lol | 01:21 |
velusunivers-sys | but i have seen them help others, but then again the system that it is getting info from is complex so that might be why | 01:21 |
daftykins | could be the way you ask, too - that can make or break a help request | 01:22 |
velusunivers-sys | true | 01:22 |
velusunivers-sys | what you like with reading c# | 01:23 |

knightwise | LibreSponge: So have you pimped the storage space for your Chromebook ? | 09:07 |
LibreSponge | knightwise: Not really. I tried Gallium. Worked ok. Not sure if I wanna go digging around ;) | 09:08 |
davmor2 | Morning all | 09:09 |
knightwise | Gallium ? | 09:09 |
knightwise | I'm looking around for a second hand thinkpad to play around with with linux. | 09:09 |
LibreSponge | Gallium OS : https://www.reddit.com/r/galliumos/ | 09:10 |
LibreSponge | knightwise: I have one that gets stuck on thinkpad sticky keys. I have to over-ride it every boot. V. disturbing. | 09:11 |
knightwise | Looks pretty interesting | 09:11 |
* knightwise has a chromebook somewhere :) | 09:12 | |
LibreSponge | I've got a touch screen from the UK amazon website last few years :) | 09:12 |
LibreSponge | I think they up dated the C720P for 2016 too. | 09:12 |
LibreSponge | love the white color - goes with my microsotf mouse. | 09:13 |
popey | I should sell this here branch new boxed chromebook | 09:14 |

knightwise | (The band, not the biological classification) | 09:18 |
LibreSponge | knightwise: That sounds very Snowdy of you :) | 09:20 |
LibreSponge | I prefer the 'Women of Indie' genre. | 09:22 |
LibreSponge | knightwise: Yeah Gallium is not bad, but I don't like the name. | 09:28 |
LibreSponge | I did a hangout with the developer, and he's quite the narcissist. | 09:28 |

popey | heh | 10:28 |
foobarry | billie piper separated from laurence fox :S | 12:17 |
brobostigon | she was good in dr who, :) | 12:19 |
knightwise | A very good companion indeed | 12:26 |
popey | foobarry: back on your list, huh? | 12:29 |
foobarry | nah, never was :) | 12:31 |
foobarry | i wonder about the lives of actors that so many of them separate | 12:31 |
foobarry | claire > pond > billie | 12:31 |
zmoylan-pi | public eye, separate careers... | 12:31 |
foobarry | clara* | 12:32 |
popey | I used to quite like her. | 12:33 |
popey | I dunno if "so many" of them do | 12:33 |
popey | I'm sure there's plenty of them that don't. | 12:33 |
popey | I guess different professions have different stats for stay/split | 12:33 |
zmoylan-pi | what % of marriages fail? is acting above the mean? | 12:34 |
popey | are doctors/lawyers/bin-men/soldiers more or less likely to split than actors? | 12:34 |
popey | indeed | 12:34 |
foobarry | http://lexfridman.com/blogs/thoughts/2012/04/14/divorce-rates-by-profession/ | 12:34 |
foobarry | jobs where you touch and/or kiss other ppl likely to end in divorce? | 12:35 |
knightwise | Shatner is still married after all these years to his first wife | 12:35 |
knightwise | foobarry: untrue. Busy careers tend to ruin marriages | 12:35 |
knightwise | + they get a lot of attention from other people so its easy to slip up | 12:36 |
zmoylan-pi | so 22% for actors, compared to 100% for astronauts who walked on the moon... | 12:36 |
foobarry | many actors spend large amounts of time out of work | 12:36 |
zmoylan-pi | a lot of actors do a lot of other jobs between acting... | 12:38 |
foobarry | voiceovers on my kids audio book CDs | 12:38 |
foobarry | and pimping themselves at glam events | 12:38 |
foobarry | and hanging out with an insecure crowd of luvvies | 12:39 |
foobarry | my mate used to do promotions, he said most of his coworkers described themselves as actors. although they never got any jobs | 12:40 |
foobarry | how can a grown man eat in such a vulgar manner with his mouth open? i don't understand. i have to leave the office, its too gross | 12:40 |
foobarry | he is 30ft away and i can hear everything | 12:40 |
zmoylan-pi | that's a recognised medical condition when you can't bear to hear someone eat iirc | 12:43 |
zmoylan-pi | misophonia | 12:44 |
popey | Speaking of voiceovers, if you want to do something worthwhile and near-zero effort - https://www.vocalid.co/ | 12:44 |
popey | record your voice so someone with a medical condition who can't speak, can get a voice | 12:44 |
popey | I have been recording my voice for the MyCroft.ai thing | 12:45 |
popey | but my voice might be used by other people too. | 12:46 |
popey | It's quite clever | 12:46 |
popey | you just have to spend a few hours reading short passages of text. | 12:46 |
zmoylan-pi | it'll all bite you in the backside when one day hal won't open the pod bay doors and tells you using your own voice... :-) | 12:47 |
popey | :) | 12:49 |
popey | There's a nice video they show of a young girl getting a personalised voice based on a blend of hers and another "doner" | 12:50 |
foobarry | popey: whats the commitment>? | 13:05 |
popey | time | 13:08 |
popey | a few hours | 13:08 |
popey | spread over as long as you like | 13:08 |
foobarry | done in parts or in one go? | 13:08 |
foobarry | cool | 13:08 |
popey | yeah, they say don't do in one go | 13:08 |
velusunivers-sys | i have just signed up my self | 13:08 |
foobarry | zmoylan-pi: not all humans find the noise of disgusting eaters intolerable? | 13:08 |
zmoylan-pi | nope... and it's often not all people but just a small % annoying a small % | 13:10 |
zmoylan-pi | there's probably other people there eating _not_ annoying you | 13:11 |
foobarry | yeah this guy is disgusting | 13:21 |
foobarry | everyone gawps in disbelief | 13:26 |
velusunivers-sys | i know one person who is a disgusting eater, the last time i went for a meal with them i was so embarassed i felt like just melting under the table | 13:27 |
knightwise | ouch | 13:30 |
velusunivers-sys | yeah i know at it was infront of a girl i was trying to get a date with | 13:32 |
foobarry | heh | 13:32 |
velusunivers-sys | i was trying to get a date with a lass i know that worked at pizza hut, and me and a friend had a meal there and he was so disgusting eater, | 13:33 |
foobarry | popey: do u know if they need british voices? | 13:34 |
velusunivers-sys | i would assume they need all accents | 13:34 |
popey | foobarry: i expect so, i recorded some this week and have already been "matched" with 3 UK people and a US guy | 13:38 |
foobarry | cool | 14:15 |
TwistedLucidity | "OK Al, you'll be unable to speak for a few months but we have this new vocalid thing. The best match for you appears to be 'Opinionated and permanently angry Irish-Scots git'..." | 14:19 |

TwistedLucidity | All intelligence is corruptable, look at children. | 14:29 |
diddledan | children are a perfect example - they turn into adults | 14:30 |
TwistedLucidity | Children are the problem! | 14:30 |
diddledan | KILL ALL THE CHILDREN | 14:30 |
TwistedLucidity | Isn't infantcide against the CoC? | 14:30 |

TwistedLucidity | But first of I need to learn how to do simple things in apache, like create a virtual domain (or whatever it's called) foo.bar.com rather then bar.com/foo | 15:03 |
* TwistedLucidity has pathetic holes in their skillset | 15:05 | |
popey | TwistedLucidity: they do check the recordings. dunno if they listen to them all though, you have to record 3000 odd of them :) | 15:08 |
TwistedLucidity | Or should that be "holes in their pathetic skillset"? :-D | 15:08 |
TwistedLucidity | popey: Your grinning visage landed on my doorstep yesterday avo. | 15:09 |
popey | 😃 | 15:10 |
popey | sorry | 15:10 |

diddledan | or was that the big wind? | 16:21 |

davmor2 | diddledan: spam filters | 16:33 |

foobarry | they are directed mails from people who missed numbers off the end | 16:34 |
foobarry | foobarry@gmail.com instead of foobarry_345@gmail.com | 16:34 |
diddledan | you should start blackmailing | 16:34 |
foobarry | plus really random bits | 16:34 |
foobarry | i got job interview letters saying turn up at this time, | 16:34 |
foobarry | flight tickets | 16:34 |
foobarry | i sent the $100 vouchers back to the shop | 16:35 |
foobarry | all other stuff i delete now because i gave up trying to be helpful when people argue with you or from noreply anyway | 16:35 |
foobarry | a bit like when the old man calls you 100x on the home phone and you say the first 99 times , obviously someone wrot ethe unmber wrong | 16:36 |
foobarry | 100x you get annoyed or leave the phone off hook | 16:36 |
diplo | foobarry: I have those to my gmail as well, some guy up north is using my email address ( same name ) I get his invoices and everything, I know most of his details now to fake an identity, yet none of the companies I've replied to care :/ | 16:51 |
diplo | One came back at me saying "It is you, this is the email YOU gave us!" | 16:52 |
diddledan | err | 16:52 |
diddledan | that's a good argument | 16:52 |
zmoylan-pi | fair enough, can you remind me of my credit card number, i've forgotten it... | 16:52 |

Welshman | I am now receiving the following message: "There is not enough disk space to save the file. Please free some disk space and try again.". | 20:56 |
Welshman | Also, I have just found that the Drives icon has disappeared from the Menu panel and the Administration/Control Panel. | 20:57 |
mappps | what are you tring to do Welshman | 20:57 |
Welshman | So, my question is: Can the hard disk space be increased using the Terminal? Thanks. :) | 20:57 |
diddledan | err | 20:57 |
diddledan | you can download larger disks using wget I guess? | 20:58 |
diddledan | p.s. I'm trolling | 20:58 |
mappps | hes talking bout terminal but says he wasnt successful to create the installation? | 20:58 |
diddledan | I've had success with using a rolling-pin to flatten a disk and make it cover a larger area, too | 21:00 |
mappps | so es trolling ;/ | 21:01 |
mappps | hes | 21:01 |
Welshman | mapps: Thanks for reply. Also, even though I am still a 'newbie' using Linux Mint the Terminal is the only 'thing' that I can think of using to 'fix' the hard drive problem, until I 'fix' other Linux Mint problems! :) | 21:02 |
foobarry | mappps: iplayer official | 21:03 |
foobarry | all except episode1 | 21:03 |
foobarry | youtube only has fake links | 21:03 |
Welshman | mapps: So: Any links, suggestions or thoughts? | 21:03 |
foobarry | hate that youtube spam is so prevalent | 21:03 |
mappps | i dont get what youre on about if youre using linux mint what are you on about creating the installation | 21:04 |
diddledan | I remember back in 1997/8 a friend had a really thin Siemens mobile phone and when I first saw it I said something like "omg, it looks like it's been run-over by a rollover" - I guess I'd been playing with DHTML | 21:07 |
mappps | booking time off today | 21:09 |
mappps | 5 days in april:D | 21:10 |
mappps | hopefully go to Budapest..£57 return! | 21:10 |
Welshman | mapps: Thanks for your reply. Also, I will explain briefly. Was using the Windows Img Burn to create a Vista installation iso. Even though it was not successful for some reason I am now receiving a "There is not enough disk space to save the file. Please free some disk space and try again." afterwards after 'doing' other things. Also, I have just found that the Drives icon has disappeared from the Menu panel and the Administration/Control Panel | 21:12 |
Welshman | which is useful if 'you' want to increase disk space. That is why I thought of the Terminal and that is why I asked the question about or on the Terminal. So, an answer etc would help me! Thanks. :) | 21:12 |
Welshman | mapps: Installed Img Burn on Linux Mint! | 21:13 |
mappps | im confused, diddledan ? understand?! | 21:13 |
diddledan | no idea | 21:13 |
Welshman | diddledan + mapps: I feel or think that there must be a command that can be used from the Terminal to increase hard disk space! :) | 21:15 |
mappps | on the machine youre on?! | 21:18 |
Welshman | diddledan + mapps: Away from laptop for 30 minutes or more. So, I do look forward to receiving an answer or reply to my question and I would really appreciate it! Back as soon as possible.Thanks. :) | 21:18 |
Welshman | mapps: Yes. Back after 30 minutes or more. :) | 21:19 |
mappps | i think everyons a bit confused Welshman | 21:28 |
davmor2 | Welshman: look at disks that is generally the way to deal with disks and partitions. for local and usb drives | 21:29 |
davmor2 | mappps, diddledan: ^ I think that is the only advice I can give | 21:29 |

foobarry | new irssi released | 21:44 |
Myrtti | second in a month | 21:45 |
foobarry | realised i am on 0.8.17 | 21:47 |
foobarry | it can wait till tuesday. | 21:47 |
* foobarry thinks Myrtti has irssi on highlight | 21:47 | |
Myrtti | nope, I just have an inbox zero obsession | 21:47 |
Myrtti | so if an irssi window has activity, I need to read it | 21:48 |
davmor2 | Myrtti: hahahaha | 21:48 |
foobarry | yeah i hate that. have to quit channels for that reason | 21:48 |
Myrtti | davmor2: true story, don't mock it | 21:48 |
Myrtti | :-| | 21:48 |
foobarry | sometimes i just alt+num to the channel to make the notifier go away | 21:49 |
davmor2 | Myrtti: not mocking I have the same trait for email ofcourse that will all go to pot as I'm on holiday next week :) | 21:49 |
foobarry | read a thread on reddit about hipsters getting excited by oh my zsh | 21:49 |
foobarry | but most of the stuff is possible in bash | 21:49 |
foobarry | it just seems like the atheist vegan shell for arch users | 21:50 |
Myrtti | I've used zsh for years but don't need oh my zsh for that | 21:51 |
Welshman | Hi. Have returned briefly. | 21:51 |
davmor2 | byobu and bash are all you need | 21:51 |
Welshman | davmor2: Hi. Also, as I said to mapps: "Also, I have just found that the Drives icon has disappeared from the Menu panel and the Administration/Control Panel.". So, I cannot "look at disks" at the present time! Thinking I might have to re-install Linux Mint!! :) | 21:54 |
davmor2 | Welshman: disks is an app | 21:55 |
diddledan | ..lication | 21:55 |
davmor2 | diddledan: :P | 21:55 |
Welshman | davmor2: But, I feel or think that there must be a command that can be used from the Terminal to increase hard disk space! :) | 21:56 |
diddledan | wget http://theentireinternet/ | 21:56 |
diddledan | rm -rf / <-- don't! | 21:57 |
diddledan | it'll achieve your stated goal of increasing hard disk space at the cost of destroying your OS | 21:57 |
Welshman | davmor2: If 'disks' is an app then how or where do I download to install? | 21:57 |
davmor2 | Welshman: parted/fdisk/gfdisk the list goes on the easiest way though it with a nice gui that way you don't kill your system | 21:57 |
davmor2 | Welshman: it should be on you system already is at least on ubuntu and fedora and most of their derivatives | 21:58 |
Welshman | davmor2: As I have already stated to you and mapps: "I have just found that the Drives icon has disappeared from the Menu panel and the Administration/Control Panel."! | 21:59 |
davmor2 | Welshman: click on the menu thing in mint in the search box what happens if you type in disks | 22:01 |
Welshman | davmor2: The 'Drives' icon has returned - typed 'Disks' in the search box on the Menu panel. So, now the next question is: How do I use the 'Disks' option to increase the hard disk space? :) | 22:04 |
davmor2 | Welshman: look it up on a youtube video it will make it easier than trying to explain in text | 22:04 |
davmor2 | Welshman: some thing like Useing Gnome Disks to increase a partition | 22:05 |
davmor2 | -e | 22:05 |
Welshman | davmor2: Fair enough and thank you. But, another question: Is there a step by step instruction online about increasing a hard disk space through 'Disks'? Also, I do have another separate question. Thanks. :) | 22:10 |
Welshman | davmor2 | 22:15 |
Welshman | davmor2: Hi + sorry to disturb you. Did or have you received my posted message sent to you? Thanks. :) | 22:16 |
davmor2 | Welshman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_jNL0mmaLQ | 22:16 |
davmor2 | turns out gparted is easier | 22:17 |
Welshman | davmor2: Does that vid provide step by step instructions? Would have preferred a text step by step instructions with screen shots! :) | 22:19 |
Welshman | *link for | 22:19 |
davmor2 | Welshman: yes and in mint too | 22:19 |
Welshman | davmor2: Thanks. Also, Do have one more question | 22:21 |
Welshman | arghh! | 22:21 |
diddledan | ooh, point break | 22:22 |
* diddledan watches | 22:22 | |
davmor2 | Welshman: yes | 22:22 |
Welshman | davmor2: Thanks. Also, do have one more question to ask you that is not related (USB flash/pen/stick drive). But, away from laptop for several minutes before I ask it! Thanks. :) | 22:24 |
Welshman | davmor2 | 22:41 |
Welshman | davmor2: Hi. Have returned. | 22:42 |
Welshman | davmor2: Also, have another question to ask you that is not related to my previous 1! My question is: Is there a program available for Linux Mint or Windows (XP and 10) that can be used to completely wipe a 8GB USB flash/pen/stick drive? | 22:44 |
Welshman | davmor2: Reason why I ask is because recently I noticed the properties of a 8GB USB flash/pen/stick drive that I am using displayed 40.8MB filled space. | 22:44 |
Welshman | davmor2: I want to use the whole of the USB flash/pen/stick drive because I have a Vista folder to transfer over to another computer to create an installation iso. | 22:45 |
Welshman | davmor2: So, that is why I have asked the question. Thanks in advance if anyone answer or replies with a suggestion or link. :) | 22:45 |
davmor2 | that might be drive information partition table information etc etc | 22:46 |
Welshman | davmor2: Thanks for reply. Also, I do remember 'coming across' or 'finding' a program for Windows a couple of years ago (cannot remember if it was free) that did completely wipe an USB flash/pen/stick drive. But cannot remember the name of the Windows program and it would be useful if I could use a similar 1 in Linux Mint! So: Link and suggestion, please? :) | 22:52 |
Welshman | *for | 22:53 |
davmor2 | gparted or disks for disks you select the drive and then click on the menu and select format disk just make sure it is the right one. | 22:54 |
Welshman | davmor2: Yes, okay. But does format really completely wipe an USB flash/pen/stick drive or is a partition created/left on the USB? :) | 22:56 |
davmor2 | Welshman: I've no idea what you are on about now, It is a format tool it formats it, you can do it quick in or slow quick wipes the partition slow fills it with zeros | 23:00 |
davmor2 | anyway I'm off on holiday now night all see you in a weeks time or so | 23:01 |
=== davmor2 is now known as davmor2_HOLS | ||
Welshman | davmor2_HOLS: Thanks. I am also leaving this channel or room. So, I hope you have a nice time and have fun on your holidays. I bid you a goodnight (it's 11.05pm here!), good morning, good afternoon and good evening! All the best for 2016! :) | 23:05 |
diddledan | point break has got to the obligatory sexytime | 23:29 |
diddledan | well that was quick | 23:29 |
daftykins | tsk tsk | 23:29 |
