knightwise | looking at a sunny day here today . | 08:51 |
knightwise | Reinstalled my home server this week. Now settng up the final details :) | 08:51 |
knightwise | pretty cool thingie this Acer Revo | 08:51 |
knightwise | looks like a giant tictac | 08:52 |
brobostigon | :) | 08:53 |
knightwise | hardly any fan noise , not the fastest machine on the block but it runs plex and a couple of scripts flawlessy | 08:54 |
knightwise | hmm.. now to find out how to make some simlinks. | 08:55 |
brobostigon | :) | 08:55 |
knightwise | I have stored the config files for podget and newsbeuter in my dropbox folder . Now i have to figure out how to point to them | 08:55 |
brobostigon | i said its cloudy and that moment the sun shines through the window, oh well. | 08:57 |
dwatkins | I think my Ubuntu install needs an update, it's still running Saucy. | 09:31 |
knightwise | dwatkins: about time :) | 09:33 |
dwatkins | yeah, I rather like the wibbly windows - is there a way to do that on the most recent version? | 09:33 |
knightwise | time to walk the doggies for a bit :) bbl | 09:34 |
dwatkins | ciao | 09:34 |
popey | yes | 09:38 |
popey | switch to ubuntu mate | 09:38 |
dwatkins | okay dokey, also happy birthday popey :) | 09:38 |
popey | (if your machine is so old that it's on saucy, it'll probably run ubuntu mate fine) | 09:38 |
popey | it's not my birthday today, but thanks :) | 09:38 |
dwatkins | it's a core i7, should be fine | 09:38 |
popey | oh! 😃 | 09:38 |
dwatkins | :) | 09:39 |
dwatkins | I wonder why my browser thought it was, strange. | 09:40 |
dwatkins | A Very happy unbirthday to (almost) everyone! | 09:40 |
MartijnVdS | I run Debian testing + Cinnamon on my desktop these days | 09:42 |
popey | (It's tomorrow) | 09:43 |
directhex | popey: hard disks suck :( | 09:46 |
popey | Yes. | 09:46 |
popey | 6 years old. | 09:47 |
directhex | popey: 2 failed disks less than 2 days old each! | 09:54 |
directhex | well, pre-fail | 09:54 |
directhex | SMART says "replace" | 09:54 |
popey | directhex: do you have any steam controllers? | 10:03 |
popey | One of mine flat refuses to work in game, but works fine in steam / overlay | 10:04 |
directhex | popey: 2! | 11:06 |
popey | I can't fathom what's up with it | 11:07 |
popey | i should plug directly into pc and try it actually | 11:07 |
penguin42 | does asda.com look like it's lost it's css to anyone else? | 12:40 |
zmoylan-pi | looks a tad wonky on firefox on xubuntu | 13:29 |
zmoylan-pi | but looks fine in vivaldi my alternate browser | 13:32 |
zmoylan-pi | reload in firefox and... broken | 13:33 |
zmoylan-pi | fine in midori | 13:34 |
* zmoylan-pi goes looking for chromium... | 13:36 | |
zmoylan-pi | and fine in chromium... | 13:36 |
zmoylan-pi | restart firefox... and broken | 13:38 |
penguin42 | hmm that's the 2nd thing in 2 days that hasnt worked in ff but has in chrome | 13:38 |
zmoylan-pi | css... work... | 13:38 |
ali1234 | surveymonkey.com | 15:03 |
ali1234 | sorry, surveymonkey.co.uk is doing the same thing | 15:03 |
ali1234 | no css in firefox | 15:03 |
ali1234 | it looks as if ublock is blocking the css | 15:04 |
ali1234 | different problem with asda though | 15:05 |
penguin42 | but I don't have any of the blocking things | 15:06 |
popey | ali1234: have you ever played rust? | 15:49 |
ali1234 | no | 15:50 |
ali1234 | popey: why do you ask? | 16:06 |
daftykins | i had some friends talking about it, so i thought i'd look up a video... it looks very basic | 16:08 |
ali1234 | video might be old? it's been early access for like three years | 16:09 |
daftykins | as a concept really | 16:53 |
user_9876 | http://adfoc.us/2542957954871 | 16:55 |
daftykins | what is this... | 16:56 |
daftykins | mmhmm. | 16:58 |
penguin42 | http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lancashire-35953847 is very odd | 17:26 |
daftykins | hrmm very light on detail | 17:28 |
penguin42 | yeh, as is the tweet from lancs police | 17:28 |
penguin42 | it's odd that they haven't been able to wake someone from Santander | 17:32 |
ali1234 | santander says they deactivated them. lancashire police says they haven't | 17:33 |
penguin42 | oh, I hadn't seen anything from Santander | 17:34 |
ali1234 | it's on the same article | 17:35 |
ali1234 | my guess is the police removed a load of skimmers, told santander, santander said "sorry we're a bank we don't work on sundays" | 17:35 |
penguin42 | haha | 17:35 |
daftykins | sounds fair | 17:37 |
ali1234 | police aren't ATM engineers so they have no way of knowing if the machines are now safe to use. so they issue this tweet | 17:37 |
popey | ali1234: just thought it might be a game you'd enjoy | 17:38 |
penguin42 | anyway, hopefully the crooks have run off to Yorkshire | 17:38 |
ali1234 | popey: thanks. i'm not a big fan of PvP games though | 17:38 |
knightwise | popey: once again , thanx for pointing me at Colussus, realy enjoyed that | 17:50 |
popey | yay | 17:50 |
knightwise | in return I trade you : Fail Safe | 17:52 |
knightwise | https://johendriks.wordpress.com/2012/05/16/fail-safe-what-if-w-h-o-p-p-e-r-did-fire-the-missiles-in-war-games-3/ | 17:52 |
penguin42 | is this as in the early computer-vs-computer war film Colossus? | 17:53 |
knightwise | penguin42: correct. | 17:53 |
penguin42 | ooh I hadn't heard of failsafe | 17:53 |
knightwise | Its good. its a movie from the late 50's but the story is very chilling. | 17:54 |
penguin42 | incidentally, you do know that the one critical mistake in Wargames was that the launch codes were actually set as all 0's for 20 years? | 17:54 |
knightwise | Djeez | 17:55 |
knightwise | same thing with the auto distruct sequences for the enterprise | 17:56 |
penguin42 | http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/12/launch-code-for-us-nukes-was-00000000-for-20-years/ | 17:56 |
knightwise | haven't changed since TOS | 17:56 |
penguin42 | oh yes, what is it again, Picard, alpha 1 alpha or something? | 17:57 |
knightwise | http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Auto-destruct | 17:58 |
popey | ooh, thanks knightwise | 18:01 |
popey | penguin42: yeah, I got Colossus on DVD for my birthday a few years back. I love it | 18:02 |
penguin42 | hmm haven't seen it for a long long time | 18:02 |
knightwise | no prob popey :) hope you enjoy it :) | 18:03 |
zmoylan-pi | the skimmers on atms is getting to the point they'll have to i dunno have a special building were humans handle the cash... and we shall call them... banks... | 20:30 |
daftykins | nobody wants those :) | 20:37 |
zmoylan-pi | but queueing!! the british love a good queue!! :-P | 20:42 |
zmoylan-pi | it'll be indoors and dry so you can get some serious queueing done... | 20:52 |
daftykins | does Ireland not have queues for ATMs? :D | 20:58 |
zmoylan-pi | we have huddles trying to stay dry and out of the wind... more a march of the penguins thing happening... :-) | 20:58 |
daftykins | :D | 21:02 |
