grembleGood morning06:30
theblazehenHi gremble 06:33
grembleHow are you theblazehen 06:33
theblazehenAlright and you gremble ?06:34
grembleI am well thank you.06:34
grembleTrying to figure out how I would go about consuming a list from its arse first06:34
theblazehenAh06:35
* theblazehen wishes bar ones workes06:35
theblazehen"For a 25 hour day"06:35
grembleHaha They have nice nougat though. Although I am not so sure that it is real nougat06:36
grembleYou're finishing with school this year right? Or did you do that last year?06:38
theblazehenFinished last year06:40
theblazehenNow got an internship and a job.. Lots of work :/06:40
theblazehenHaven't had time to study for quite a while even :(06:40
grembleThat is not bad. As what?06:40
theblazehenInternship as a more devopsy kinda thing, and job as a more "normal/traditional" Linux admin + some dev work06:41
grembleSounds like you're not doing to bad for yourself. Even if you are very busy :P06:42
theblazehenHeh yeah06:42
theblazehenBarely managed to break even on work yesterday.. As I go to complete tasks I find new tasks that are dependencies for it..06:48
magespawngood morning06:50
magespawntheblazehen: does the work flow nicely though?06:50
gremblegood morning magespawn 06:51
theblazehenhi magespawn. How exactly do you mean by that?06:51
magespawnhi gremble 06:51
grembleThis is probably very off-topic, but is it mage-spawn or mages-pawn? haha06:51
magespawnwell sometimes the work piles up but there is still a logical/straight path to follow through the pile making easiers to focus on what is happening now06:52
magespawnthe first one gremble 06:52
magespawns/easiers/easier06:53
theblazehenmagespawn: Not always. At the moment theres like 3 different "paths" of things to do or so06:58
magespawnahh then you have my sympathy for that, but better than being bored ...07:00
theblazehenYeah, it sucks a bit... And true. I'd love to take a day off sometime though :( Like a full day, not just 30 min - 1 hour or so. But that's not happening anytime soon07:02
mazalMornings08:31

Kilosluckily after many years of camping we have a good supply of gas equipment12:01
Kilosonly cold showers kinda suck12:02
bushtechpower is one thing but it's gonna get rough when the water fails12:02
grembleOur water fails quite regularly 12:03
Kiloswe pump our own and borehole can take another 2 lengths of pipe12:03
grembleBecause we live higher than the supply pipe, if there is a leak, we have no water12:03
Kilosso here no power no water12:03
Kiloseish12:03
Kiloswater is life12:04
Kilossame as air12:04
bushtechjust imagine some guy in a flat with no water for a week and no water available elsewhere12:05

bushtechcheck bietjie14:43
Kilosi go see14:44
Kilosty14:44
Kilosi have tried battery and power cable out for 30 mins. now will leave them out overnight14:49
Kilosif still no bios ill start building up this other motherboard and hope my cpu is still ok14:49
Kilosmy own fault, should have switched off when storm was still starting14:57
inetprowb chesedo15:11
Kiloshi inetpro 15:11
Kiloshaha die mense bang jou ne15:11
inetproKilos: ouch!15:13
inetproKilos: sorry about the PC15:14
Kilosty sir15:14
inetpromense bang, vir wat?15:14
Kilosom dinge te se wat bietjie vuil is15:14
Kiloshaha15:14
inetprouh15:15
Kiloshoe gaan dit boetie15:15
inetproiemand iets gesĂȘ?15:15
Kilosgenoeg reen gekry darem?15:15
inetprohmm.... moet weer gaan kyk, vanoggend 25mm gehad plus gister se 13mm = 38mm15:16
inetprokoud, koud, koud... dit bang my15:17
Kilosdit gaan kwaai koud word nog ek dink15:17
grembleWhat is a manually broken PCI slot?15:28
Kiloswhere you plug the graphics card it the broke that whole plug off so bare connectors were shorting on each other15:29
grembleOh alright15:30
inetprouh, oh, he broke it?15:30
Kilosnot me man15:31
inetproso you got it for free?15:31
Kilosi cut all the pins off and will test with onboard grahics15:31
Kilosthe mb yes15:32
Kiloswas supposed to fix it for ian15:32
Kilosonly serious gamers need graphics cards15:32
inetprolike mazal :-)15:33
inetprowhere is he>15:33
inetpro?15:33
Kiloslol15:33
inetprobtw, talking about graphics, who else is using kvm and other virtualisation here15:34
Kilosi gotta go eat15:35
Kiloswbb15:35
inetprohmm.... that time already?15:35
Kiloslemme see15:35
Kilosi hear kitchen noises15:35
Kilosno not yet15:35
Kilostoo early 15:36
Kilossigh15:36
inetprokvm-spice is nice these days but still pretty horrible for low bandwidth limitiations15:38
inetproin other words very nice that we're able run a desktop on a remote system out there but pretty tough on bandwidth15:41
Kilossjoe15:42
inetproI just thought, maybe someone has a good solution for me to tone down quality when working on a remote desktop'15:44
Kilosman pages15:47
Kiloshehe15:47
Kilosand google is YOUR friend15:47
theblazeheninetpro: What os in the guest? If linux, x2go works well15:47
Kiloshi theblazehen 15:48
theblazehenAlso, try vnc with tight compressions15:48
Kilosyou getting cleverer by the day15:48
theblazehenhi Kilos15:48
inetprotheblazehen: kubuntu15:48
theblazehenKilos: heh, I knew that stuff like 3 years ago :)15:48
theblazeheninetpro: That should work. Might need to turn compositing off though15:48
inetprotheblazehen: can it work over ssh?15:50
theblazeheninetpro: It's basically X forwarding over ssh with things to make it go faster16:00
theblazehenWorks well with a 1 mbit connection, browsing etc16:01
inetproI see...16:01
* inetpro googling to find tips on how to use it 16:01
inetproguess I would have to do something on the kvm backend, a pretty standard installation on Ubuntu server 16.0416:03
theblazehenFor general use I'd say just check vnc with TIGHT encoding16:11
theblazehenIt's *okay*16:11
inetproalso thought that was perhaps what I should do16:13
inetprohopefully one day it will all be much simpler with wayland or mir16:15
Kiloshi urbanslug 16:36
Kilosyou guys sleep weekends, are you sick16:36
Kilosinetpro do you want to ssh to servers to work on them16:37
Kiloswhat have you used until now16:37
inetproKilos: fortunately I use ssh +90% of the time16:38
Kilosso whats with the new search16:38
Kilosim just trying to understand what you are planning to do16:39
Kilosssh to a server shouldnt use much should it16:39
inetprowas just playing with running full remote desktop recently, quite nice to see that things have improved since I played with it a few years ago16:39
Kilostext only16:40
Kilosaha16:40
inetprosadly, it seems we still have a way to go 16:40
Kiloswhat about remmina16:41
Kilosi thinks thats what i tried16:41
inetprothe RDP protocol used for windows still seems to more efficient16:41
Kiloswith remmina i had full control of a windows pc16:42
Kiloslike having the windows pc on one workspace16:42
magespawninetpro: VNC?16:43
inetproKilos: you don't need remmina for that16:43
Kilosoh what else then inetpro 16:43
Kilosian will be interested16:43
inetprothe standard krdc uses xfreerdp in the backend for connecting to windows 16:43
KilosMaaz tell wolfeyes the standard krdc uses xfreerdp in the backend for connecting to windows 16:44
MaazKilos: Righto, I'll tell Wolfeyes on freenode16:44
Kiloshe is forever teamviewing them16:44
inetproKilos: press Alt+F2, type krdc and press ENTER16:44
magespawnas far as i know rdp is not that secure16:45
inetprooh, obviously you tunnel through ssh with that... but I'll leave that as an exercise for yourself to research16:45
Kilosit dont work16:46
magespawnah okay right16:46
magespawninetpro to a ssh server on the windows machine?16:46
Kilosi have turned off lots of that little windows stuff16:46
Kiloswas typing here supposedly or to debs and that thing opened16:46
Kilosdrove me nuts16:47
inetprooops... krdc: Automatically installed: no16:49
Kilosok ill install it16:49
Kilosai!16:50
Kiloskrdc is already the newest version.16:50
Kilosopens fine with the launcher16:50
theblazeheninetpro: Wayland has no standard for remote display16:52
theblazehenFrom what I can tell, that will be integrated into weston16:53
inetproKilos: now all you need is to set it to connect to RDP and set the addresst to: DOMAIN\Username@WindowsHostName16:53
Kilosian is slowly going linux , kde on stick and on desktop and ubuntu server16:53
inetprotheblazehen: interesting16:53
theblazehenAn "example" wm/display server or whatever, so kwin would have their own, gnome their own, any other one their own.. No standard :(16:53
KilosMaaz tell wolfeyes now all you need is to set it to connect to RDP and set the addresst to: DOMAIN\Username@WindowsHostName16:54
MaazKilos: Righto, I'll tell Wolfeyes on freenode16:54
theblazehenNo "standard" way for that16:54
inetproKilos: obviosly with the windows machine on the local network16:54
Kilosoh no16:54
theblazehenThings like multi gpu will also be implemented in the wm or whatever rquivelant is, not in wayland itself :(16:54
Kiloshe works all over the transvaal16:54
theblazehenI personally don't like wayland16:55
theblazehenFor me, as much as I don't like all of it, X is still better16:55
inetprotheblazehen: fact is, we're still stuck with X11 and many inefficiencies 16:55
Kiloshe just needs linux software for all that scanner stuff then by by win16:55
theblazehenYou can have things like xmodmap, screenshots, multi gpu (admittedly, "not really but with hacks"), different wm etc16:56
theblazehenI think the way that the split is done with wayland leaves too much for the wm16:56
inetproyeah, what we really need is one simple internationally accepted standard16:58
inetpromuch easier said than done though16:59
theblazehenYeah. Unfortunately not everyone will agree on what's needed17:06
inetpronot something that one or two individuals can take charge of and fix17:09
theblazehenExactly17:11
theblazehenBut we'll wait forever for a good solution, so we'll probably have someone do something "good enough" first17:11
theblazehenaka wayland17:11
* theblazehen will be sticking with X, thank you very much17:12
inetprowill be interesting to see whether canonical can actually influence it all with their efforts17:13
inetprowb chesedo-,... again17:14
Kiloslol17:26
Kiloshi fusionsparc 18:00
theblazehenSo someone asked for a pic of my desktop when I'm getting work done: http://theblazehen.com/scrot_2016.png18:12
theblazehenmaaz tell andrewlsd you asked for pic of desktop right? http://theblazehen.com/scrot_2016.png18:13
Maaztheblazehen: Righto, I'll tell andrewlsd on freenode18:13
grembleThat is a colossal screen theblazehen haha18:19
theblazehengremble: http://imgur.com/gallery/9qITRRc18:20
grembletheblazehen, Those are much nicer screens than what you had the last time I saw your setup :P18:22
theblazehengremble: Haha yeah :) Benefits of working almost all the time..18:23
grembleI have to work on a pos company computer because I don't have a laptop haha18:28
theblazehenOuch18:28
magespawntheblazehen: nice19:09
magespawnare those on one machine or many?19:09
Kilos  night all.sleeptight19:10
magespawnKilos: good night19:10
theblazehenmagespawn: 1 machine19:14
magespawnmultiple graphics cards?19:14
theblazehenmagespawn: Nope, 1 GTX 98019:16
magespawnahh very nice and other hardware?19:17
theblazehen20 GB ram, 4TB SSHD, 1x GTX 970 in this one19:20
theblazehenthen router is 2 GB ram, 2.2 GHz dual core, 64 GB ssd19:21
theblazehenAnd VM host was 20TB storage (15 usable), 32 GB ram19:21
theblazehenBrother now has my other gtx 97019:21
grembleThat is quite the rig O.o19:26
magespawnvery nice19:32
magespawnso all the screens are one desktop then?19:33
bushtechtheblazehen: what OS?19:36
magespawnarch linux on the one picture19:36
fusionsparcWhat desktop env. you running theblazehen?19:37
theblazehenbushtech: Arch Linux on desktop, had Ubuntu server on vm host, pfSense on router19:45
theblazehenfusionsparc: Just AwesomeWM, only wm that does multi monitor workspaces the way I need :/ I'd like to use herbestlufwm or i3 though19:45
bushtechtheblazehen: Sheesh makes my head spin19:46
fusionsparcNice, that desktop is quite bussy yhough.. :P19:46
theblazehenfusionsparc: This isn't even bad..19:46
theblazehenHad skype, 3x mysql cli's, 4 php files, terminal for git commands, php docs, live website all open at the same time before. Live site in multiple browsers even19:47
fusionsparchehe...I guess if you customised the DE to suite your workflow, you can be quite productive..19:50
theblazehenfusionsparc: I just wish I could have dynamic tiling though, not just predefined layouts19:51
gremblebspwm never played nice?19:56
theblazehengremble: too much time to do the config, and can't do my way of tiling anyway19:57
fusionsparcindeed.. ;-P19:57
grembleYou need a degree to config bspwm, yes.19:58
theblazehenAnd with awesomewm the keybinds are all natural now.. herbestlufwm is closest to what I want in terms of managing the tiling, but can't do workspaces right19:58
grembleAnyway, I am off. Long day tomorrow19:58
fusionsparcSame here, enjoy guys.. 19:59
theblazehencheers fusionsparc20:00
bushtechtheblazehen: and there's me having a giggle at myself with my kvm switch to jump between my 2 servers20:04
theblazehenbushtech: I need an ipkvm.. Hard to plug in keyboard / display to router and vm host20:05
bushtechdefinitely not easy20:06
bushtechunless your router is a computer20:07
theblazehenbushtech: Yeah, it is :) old desktop20:08
bushtechhmmm, didn't know you get ip kvm's20:10
bushtechOuch1 Very expensive!20:13
theblazehenbushtech: Yeah..20:14
