[05:02] hi all [05:02] watching deal or no deal..how exciting;D === mappps is now known as mapps [08:11] morning boys and girls. [08:18] \o [08:24] morning MartijnVdS [08:32] morning guys [08:32] morning knightwise [08:38] so, i appear not to be the only one stuck behind the keyboard on this fine sunny day :p [08:46] it was sunny here yesterday, its more cloudy here today. [08:51] looking at a sunny day here today . [08:51] Reinstalled my home server this week. Now settng up the final details :) [08:51] pretty cool thingie this Acer Revo [08:52] looks like a giant tictac [08:53] :) [08:54] hardly any fan noise , not the fastest machine on the block but it runs plex and a couple of scripts flawlessy [08:55] hmm.. now to find out how to make some simlinks. [08:55] :) [08:55] 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 [08:57] i said its cloudy and that moment the sun shines through the window, oh well. [09:31] I think my Ubuntu install needs an update, it's still running Saucy. [09:33] dwatkins: about time :) [09:33] yeah, I rather like the wibbly windows - is there a way to do that on the most recent version? [09:34] time to walk the doggies for a bit :) bbl [09:34] ciao [09:38] yes [09:38] switch to ubuntu mate [09:38] okay dokey, also happy birthday popey :) [09:38] (if your machine is so old that it's on saucy, it'll probably run ubuntu mate fine) [09:38] it's not my birthday today, but thanks :) [09:38] it's a core i7, should be fine [09:38] oh! 😃 [09:39] :) [09:40] I wonder why my browser thought it was, strange. [09:40] A Very happy unbirthday to (almost) everyone! [09:42] I run Debian testing + Cinnamon on my desktop these days [09:43] (It's tomorrow) [09:46] popey: hard disks suck :( [09:46] Yes. [09:47] 6 years old. [09:54] popey: 2 failed disks less than 2 days old each! [09:54] well, pre-fail [09:54] SMART says "replace" [10:03] directhex: do you have any steam controllers? [10:04] One of mine flat refuses to work in game, but works fine in steam / overlay [11:06] popey: 2! [11:07] I can't fathom what's up with it [11:07] i should plug directly into pc and try it actually [12:40] does asda.com look like it's lost it's css to anyone else? [13:29] looks a tad wonky on firefox on xubuntu [13:32] but looks fine in vivaldi my alternate browser [13:33] reload in firefox and... broken [13:34] fine in midori [13:36] * zmoylan-pi goes looking for chromium... [13:36] and fine in chromium... [13:38] restart firefox... and broken [13:38] hmm that's the 2nd thing in 2 days that hasnt worked in ff but has in chrome [13:38] css... work... [15:03] surveymonkey.com [15:03] sorry, surveymonkey.co.uk is doing the same thing [15:03] no css in firefox [15:04] it looks as if ublock is blocking the css [15:05] different problem with asda though [15:06] but I don't have any of the blocking things [15:49] ali1234: have you ever played rust? [15:50] no [16:06] popey: why do you ask? [16:08] i had some friends talking about it, so i thought i'd look up a video... it looks very basic [16:09] video might be old? it's been early access for like three years [16:53] as a concept really [16:55] http://adfoc.us/2542957954871 [16:56] what is this... [16:58] mmhmm. [17:26] http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lancashire-35953847 is very odd [17:28] hrmm very light on detail [17:28] yeh, as is the tweet from lancs police [17:32] it's odd that they haven't been able to wake someone from Santander [17:33] santander says they deactivated them. lancashire police says they haven't [17:34] oh, I hadn't seen anything from Santander [17:35] it's on the same article [17:35] 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] haha [17:37] sounds fair [17:37] 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 [17:38] ali1234: just thought it might be a game you'd enjoy [17:38] anyway, hopefully the crooks have run off to Yorkshire [17:38] popey: thanks. i'm not a big fan of PvP games though [17:50] popey: once again , thanx for pointing me at Colussus, realy enjoyed that [17:50] yay [17:52] in return I trade you : Fail Safe [17:52] 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/ [17:53] is this as in the early computer-vs-computer war film Colossus? [17:53] penguin42: correct. [17:53] ooh I hadn't heard of failsafe [17:54] Its good. its a movie from the late 50's but the story is very chilling. [17:54] 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? [17:55] Djeez [17:56] same thing with the auto distruct sequences for the enterprise [17:56] http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/12/launch-code-for-us-nukes-was-00000000-for-20-years/ [17:56] haven't changed since TOS [17:57] oh yes, what is it again, Picard, alpha 1 alpha or something? [17:58] http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Auto-destruct [18:01] ooh, thanks knightwise [18:02] penguin42: yeah, I got Colossus on DVD for my birthday a few years back. I love it [18:02] hmm haven't seen it for a long long time [18:03] no prob popey :) hope you enjoy it :) [20:30] 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... [20:37] nobody wants those :) [20:42] but queueing!! the british love a good queue!! :-P [20:52] it'll be indoors and dry so you can get some serious queueing done... [20:58] does Ireland not have queues for ATMs? :D [20:58] we have huddles trying to stay dry and out of the wind... more a march of the penguins thing happening... :-) [21:02] :D
