| ujjain | Let go troating about with big group of people, better off with small group < does this phrase make sense? what is troating about? | 09:51 |
| SuperMatt | ujjain: no. | 09:54 |
| ujjain | ah htanks | 09:55 |
| SuperMatt | that's possibly one of the least sensicle sentances I've ever read, and I've read my own drunk texts | 09:55 |
| ujjain | ah ok, it makes sense in my head though | 09:56 |
| knightWork | U gave no idea what troating is , but it sound like something you might search for on pornhub | 09:58 |
| knightWork | u gave = i have | 09:58 |
| SuperMatt | I looked it up, and it means to call out loudly | 09:58 |
| SuperMatt | or something similar | 09:58 |
| popey | bigcalm: intentionally not done because I don't know when i can make it | 10:05 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: this seems very appropriate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Kobdb37Cwc | 10:07 |
| ujjain | hahahah | 10:09 |
| JamesTait | zmoylan-pi, SSR, wasn't that one of the old 16-bit hacker crews? | 10:23 |
| zmoylan-pi | it's a serious of books about stainless steel rat, a criminal in far future... first ones are quite good... for their time... but i still like them | 10:25 |
| bigcalm | popey: okay. I'll close the poll and hopefully you'll be able to attend :) | 10:25 |
| zmoylan-pi | was also in 2000ad as a multipart story | 10:25 |
| JamesTait | zmoylan-pi, you learn something new every day.... 😉 | 10:27 |

| davmor2 | zmoylan-pi: one up on me, I only know of Roland Rat Superstar yeeeeeeah | 10:43 |
| zmoylan-pi | it's finest moment is when on a world with massive intrusive surveillance he describes how useless it is as the amount of people required to monitor and then monitor the monitors quicky becomes unmanageable and pointless. | 10:46 |
| zmoylan-pi | it always stuck with me | 10:46 |
| knightWork | zmoylan-pi: Roland Rat said that ? | 11:00 |
| zmoylan-pi | stainless steel rat | 11:01 |
| zmoylan-pi | roland wasn't such a philosopher... | 11:01 |
| davmor2 | roland rat was the fonz in rat form :D | 11:07 |
| knightWork | and who / from what universe is stainless steel rat ? | 11:09 |
| knightWork | davmor2: agreed ! | 11:09 |
| knightWork | He was the Gordon-the-gopher-with-streetsmarts | 11:09 |
| MooDoo | davmor2: you a ratfan as well then? ;) | 11:10 |

| knightWork | zmoylan-pi: yet another thing you have taught me today | 11:13 |
| zmoylan-pi | they have dated and last 3 books are terrible imo. but i still love the books | 11:14 |
| zmoylan-pi | the first sci fi book i bought new was a stainless steel rat book i bought on long trip to london in early 80s to keep me amused | 11:15 |
| knightWork | Currently reading "ready player one" and taking some doctorrow books with me to the beach next weekend. | 11:19 |

| foobarry | has anyone tried an ISP parental filter and managed to get more than domain level blocks? | 14:38 |
| foobarry | e.g. reddit works but NSFW subreddits dont | 14:39 |
| davmor2 | foobarry: I think they are basically all just domain blocking tools | 14:42 |
| foobarry | :( | 14:45 |
| foobarry | i wonder if youtube and iplayer are blocked too then :S | 14:45 |
| davmor2 | foobarry: possibly | 14:46 |

| davmor2 | zmoylan-pi: nice he'll blame me thinking it is a wasp :D | 15:48 |

| davmor2 | zmoylan-pi: and I can hand on heart swear in court it wasn't me in my shaggy-est impression possible | 15:49 |
| zmoylan-pi | see, plausible deniability... | 15:50 |
| daftykins | davmor2: you'll get a scare if you look up how old that track is! | 15:51 |
| daftykins | came up on the radio and the guy said the year, 1998 i think | 15:51 |
| davmor2 | daftykins: pffff 98 3 of the songs forever getting into my head recently are all along the watchtower, house of the rising sun and stairway to heaven look up those dates you want scary | 15:53 |
| daftykins | ;) that was before my time | 15:54 |
| * zmoylan-pi has 1-2 tunes on mp3 player that my mother liked dating from the 30s... | 15:54 | |

| zmoylan-pi | and you can't go wrong with lili marlene... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q56QzGcAKZc | 15:58 |

| awilkins | How do I raise the DPI on Xenial? | 18:07 |
| awilkins | Just got a shiny new SuperDuperHD laptop and the text in this window is reeeeely teensy | 18:08 |
| daftykins | settings -> monitors | 18:09 |
| daftykins | drag the slider | 18:09 |
| awilkins | Aha | 18:10 |
| awilkins | Aha | 18:10 |
| awilkins | Hmm, maybe I need to restart the apps | 18:10 |
| awilkins | Because this one is rendering the new large text in the teensy box :-) | 18:11 |
| awilkins | OK, that seems to work. | 18:15 |
| daftykins | yip always need a log out + in to confirm | 18:15 |
| awilkins | 1.5 might be a bit high | 18:16 |
| awilkins | Might try 1.3 or 1.4, this is a 1440 screen and I like 1080 fine | 18:17 |
| awilkins | 1.38 seems OK | 18:18 |
| daftykins | which machine did you get? i'm just finalising one of the Dell XPS 13 models with a 1080p panel for someone, i expect to be told the text is too tiny the second i hand it over - so 1.25x will likely be the answer then | 18:18 |
| awilkins | Lenovo t460s | 18:18 |
| daftykins | i would've thought an even multiplier makes sense | 18:18 |
| awilkins | It's really really attractive hardware | 18:19 |
| awilkins | Keyboard's lovely (don't get the backlit ones, I'm told they are considerably less lovely) | 18:19 |
| awilkins | I got the low end model apart from the screen, WiFi, and smartcard reader | 18:20 |
| awilkins | Not paying £300 for a CPU that has a tray price $110 higher than the base model | 18:20 |
| awilkins | Not paying over the odds for RAM and M.2 NVMe drives | 18:21 |
| daftykins | if you run Linux you'd have issues with the latter anywho | 18:21 |
| awilkins | What, NVMe? | 18:22 |
| daftykins | yep | 18:22 |
| awilkins | What's the issues? | 18:22 |
| daftykins | take the Dell XPS13, the BIOS is set to RAID for intel's RST (rapid storage tech.) right now, so if you boot 16.04 beta 2, you don't even see a storage device to install to | 18:23 |
| awilkins | Oh, that | 18:23 |
| awilkins | Yeah, I had to do that to the Windows laptop my ex-job shipped me. | 18:23 |
| daftykins | you can change it to AHCI sure, but then that runs the old style and defeats the benefits | 18:23 |
| awilkins | Hmm. | 18:24 |
| awilkins | 1.38 scale keeps Firefox in teensy mode | 18:24 |
| awilkins | 1.5 seems to make it scale up | 18:24 |
| daftykins | tried 1.25? | 18:24 |
| awilkins | Not tried 1.25 | 18:24 |
| awilkins | Will have a go | 18:25 |
| awilkins | teensy mode | 18:25 |
| awilkins | Guess I can make it scale by setting the zoom level | 18:26 |
| daftykins | :S | 18:26 |
| daftykins | speaks of a bigger issue really, what did you install on there? 15.10? | 18:26 |
| awilkins | .... except it doesn't seem to stick per session | 18:27 |
| awilkins | Xenial | 18:27 |
| daftykins | ah good good | 18:27 |
| daftykins | so close now it makes sense :> | 18:27 |
| daftykins | in fact my bad, you did say | 18:27 |
| awilkins | Not considered trying Mir / Unity 8 yet | 18:30 |
| davmor2 | awilkins: dell default to 2 which makes everything look the size of a window on a 1080 monitor however the scaling will also affect any monitor you plug it into which makes it look ugly as hell on lower res external monitor | 18:49 |
| daftykins | yay a working openVPN setup on the pfsense embedded router now, that'll let me get in for maintenance etc. to Spain from anywhere else | 20:28 |
| velusunivers-sys | hello if i want to cp a folder to multiple folders how would i do this woudl it be cp -R bin {regions11,regions12.....} | 22:57 |
| ali1234 | i once had to do that. i tarred the directory, pipe to tee, then untar it in multiple places | 22:58 |
| velusunivers-sys | ? | 22:59 |
| velusunivers-sys | its not tared its just one working folder to be put into many, its something that is needed, i have one directory that is for the build and the other directorys are the workign ones and its an unfortunate c# program | 23:00 |
| ali1234 | so tar it | 23:00 |
| daftykins | how many destination folders do you intend to copy to? | 23:00 |
| velusunivers-sys | 5 | 23:01 |
| velusunivers-sys | i dont want to tar it | 23:01 |
| velusunivers-sys | it would confuse me too much | 23:01 |
| daftykins | i just had a test and i can't see a way to do it, so ali's suggestion will have to do - otherwise just get it done | 23:01 |
| velusunivers-sys | ill have to do it manually | 23:02 |
| daftykins | yep | 23:02 |
| ali1234 | yeah there's no other way to do it other than by serializing the directory and duplicating it with pipes | 23:02 |
| ali1234 | or just copy it multiple times | 23:02 |
| daftykins | weirdly when i typed "copy file test1 test2" it only copied to test2 and not test1 | 23:03 |
| daftykins | though that was until i re-read the idea was a folder not file | 23:03 |
| ali1234 | for a file: cat file | tee file1 > file2 | 23:04 |
| daftykins | ah har | 23:04 |
| ndf | man xargs | 23:04 |
| ali1234 | for directories it's the same, but tarring the directory and untarring it in each place you want a copy | 23:04 |
| ali1234 | the important point here is the source only gets read once. i needed to copy a file from a server and make two local copies on different hard drives, and i only had enough time to write one copy to each disk, not read it back | 23:05 |
| ali1234 | so i had to use tee to make the copy while the data was in flight, before writing it | 23:06 |
| ali1234 | chances are you do not need to do this and can just do it the slow way | 23:06 |
| daftykins | chances are users are lazy :< | 23:08 |
| diddledan | only a chance? I thought that was guaranteed | 23:12 |
| daftykins | :D | 23:13 |
