[06:50] <MooDoo> morning all
[06:50] <zmoylan-pi> be careful out there, it's a monday
[06:51] <MooDoo> i'm well aware, :(
[08:06] <foobarry> can i get inkscape to show guides while moving an obecjt around? i want to align them
[08:07] <ali1234> you mean only when moving an object around?
[08:07] <foobarry> yes ali1234
[08:07] <ali1234> i don't think so
[08:07] <ali1234> you could just learn the keyboard shortcut for show/hide guides
[08:07] <foobarry> ewww. thats kind of basic
[08:08] <ali1234> what exactly do you mean by guides?
[08:08] <foobarry> like when i'm using pencil app or visio, when i drag something
[08:08] <foobarry> horiz/vert dotted lines show me if i'm lined up with other objects
[08:09] <ali1234> no it's still not clear
[08:09] <ali1234> do you mean the blue lines that you drag out from the ruler?
[08:10] <foobarry> not permanent lines, but ones that appear during dragging/moving only
[08:10] <ali1234> okay i know what you mean
[08:10] <foobarry> so i know i'm putting the object in line with another
[08:10] <foobarry> otherwise i can't tell when i'm lined up
[08:11] <ali1234> well firstly, use align and distribute
[08:13] <ali1234> i think what you are asking for is called smart guides
[08:13] <foobarry> ah ok, do u know if they exist in inkscape?
[08:14] <ali1234> they don't
[08:14] <foobarry> surprising
[08:14] <foobarry> thanks anyway
[08:14] <ali1234> apparently the KDE equivalent has it
[08:14] <foobarry> inKscape?
[08:15] <ali1234> kivio
[08:15] <ali1234> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wk_wf1heHF4
[08:17] <ali1234> lol that's terrible
[08:21] <foobarry> pencil does this trivially
[08:22] <foobarry> "it's currently asleep while I work on the inkscape website and various other things"
[08:28] <ali1234> ah hang on
[08:29] <ali1234> you can do some basic stuff
[08:29] <ali1234> like you can snap to object centres
[08:37] <foobarry> i've learned to use the align and distribute, but its labourious
[08:37] <foobarry> its only for one poster i'm doing, so no biggie
[09:07] <JamesTait> Good morning all!  Happy Monday, and happy Summer Solstice! 😃  ☼
[09:07]  * foobarry shakes fist at rain gods
[09:09] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[09:12] <JamesTait> 👋  foobarry, brobostigon
[09:13] <BigRedS> Goood Morning!
[09:16] <brobostigon> morning JamesTait and BigRedS
[09:18] <JamesTait> I can tell it's the height of summer, my roof is leaking.
[09:20] <zmoylan-pi> at least the drip on back of your neck is warm
[09:22] <popey> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAgKHSNqxa8 is fun #brexit ㋛
[09:22] <popey> John Oliver ^
[09:27] <BigRedS> He needs to get off YouTube and back on the Bugle
[12:22] <foobarry> reddit still down :(
[12:22] <foobarry> at lunchtime of all times
[12:22] <zmoylan-pi> on a monday...
[12:23] <zmoylan-pi> https://voat.co/ is still up which is just a more loony right version of reddit
[12:26] <Newman101> There are plenty enough of loonies and fruitcakes in Reddit too though.
[12:26] <foobarry> what is that site>
[12:26] <zmoylan-pi> when reddit banned a bunch of sub reddits they seemed to have all gone to voat
[12:26] <zmoylan-pi> so it often has a lot of the front page of reddit on it
[12:27] <foobarry> phew reddit is back
[13:01] <TwistedLucidity> foobarry: How very dare you! We are all quite normal and civilised on Reddit
[13:02]  * TwistedLucidity flings poo
[13:40] <czajkowski> aloha
[13:42] <diddledan_> hiya
[13:49] <foobarry> got my pi zero working as a usb slave
[13:49] <foobarry> that means i can ssh to it over usb without wifi
[13:50] <foobarry> ethernet over usb
[13:50] <TwistedLucidity> That's pretty awesome
[20:13] <foobarry> anyone know why gparted on a .img file mounted as /dev/loop1 doesn't remember changes?
[20:13] <daftykins> what kind of changes?
[20:14] <foobarry> resizefs to resize smaller
[20:14] <foobarry> reduce free space
[20:14] <daftykins> mmm never done that
[20:15] <foobarry> as soon as it completes successfully, it "forgets"
[20:15] <daftykins> Pis and SD cards or something?
[20:15] <daftykins> http://softwarebakery.com/shrinking-images-on-linux - that any use?
[20:16] <foobarry> yeah, strangely not working for me
[20:17] <daftykins> not as daft as permissions on the file, or the file being on a different file system or some such?
[20:20] <foobarry> don't think
[20:20] <foobarry> so, might try start again from scratch
[20:21] <foobarry> iosetup on ubuntu not showing options on the other tutorials such as partitioning
[20:21] <foobarry> losetup*
[21:52] <daftykins> did anyone got their Amazon UK password changed recently? i just this second got an email that mine had
[21:52] <daftykins> "At Amazon we take your security and privacy very seriously. As part of our routine monitoring, we discovered a list of email address and password sets posted online. While the list was not Amazon-related, we know that many customers reuse their passwords on several websites."
[22:01] <daftykins> ah their online support chat tell me it was based on having had the same password for a long period of time and not having been discovered online o0
