[07:36] knightwise: yeah it's an old laptop, that I can replace the cdrom with the existing 1tb drive and just use ssd as the main boot drive [07:45] \o/ friday [07:50] MooDoo: you are SOOO gonna notice the difference [07:59] knightwise: yeah hope so, read a review on the drive, it's not the best, but it'll do :D [08:02] anything from spinning clutter to ssd is a step up [08:02] :) [08:03] Morning all [08:04] did we finally manage to lose eu suing boy [08:05] davmor2: morning, i must have missed that? [08:06] MooDoo: yesterday was international sue popey by a troll day and then insult anyone day apparently [08:07] ah cool [08:07] that explains the +b :) [08:07] MooDoo: did you not get the invite? [08:08] davmor2: alas no [08:09] davmor2: so you're saying we should troll on popey again today then? [08:09] good luck with that [08:09] MooDoo: no you missed out it was only yesterday....for now at least :) [08:10] ah well [08:10] I'm sure some troll will take a pop at popey again, but him being the proverbial duck helps :D [08:11] lol [08:11] we do seem to attract some real whack jobs though [08:12] davmor2: it's always been the case [08:15] MooDoo: well I mean you me and czajkowski are still here for one ;) then there is knightwise I mean he's not even from the UK and comes here to join in the fun, and then there is zmoylan-pi and diddledan and twisted I mean there isn't a hope in hell right [08:16] I'm perfectly normal, thankyouverymuch [08:16] Myrtti: now try saying it without the tick ;) [08:17] oh I've outsourced that to the husband. === pavlushka_ is now known as pavlushka [08:28] eh? [08:29] czajkowski: just calling you a whack job go back to sleep ;) [08:30] ok nn [08:32] hmm.. cant decide if i am going to buy a fitbit or not [08:33] have untill noon to decide :) [08:34] i got a nuband for €40 in argos. works well for counting steps and gives me a rough idea of how bad my sleep is [08:35] zmoylan-pi: thats roughly what i'm looking for too [08:35] just a way to get some metrics on my health [08:35] and i saw an android smart watch in a discount store for €20 which claims to have same features... [08:36] zmoylan-pi: the problem with android watches (i have a first gen moto360) is the battery life [08:37] yeah, the nuband claims it will run for 3-4 days between charges but last android watch i saw was huge and barely got a day and a half [08:37] but it's like a 1960s digital watch were you have to press a button to make it display time [08:38] but for what i want it works very well. [08:38] I had fitbit one till the battery died reasonable accurate and some fitbit devices can be synced on ubuntu with the use of galileo [08:39] Good morning all! Happy Friday, and a peaceful Somme Day! ☺ [08:41] davmor2: which one did you have , [08:41] morning JamesTait [08:42] knightwise: clue was in the title Fitbit One ;) [08:42] 👋 knightwise [08:42] for the somme... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvPtkzdbv90 [08:43] davmor2: sowwy :) [08:45] JamesTait: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h__zgVz9fN4 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVg2EJvvlF8 I think that covers us for war and peace :) [09:01] davmor2, not sure about your first one, but then I was never a fan of Frankie. I like zmoylan-pi's contribution though. [09:06] morning boys and girls. [09:08] hey brobostigon [09:08] morning dudes [09:08] morning knightwise and SuperMatt [09:58] :) [10:13] :) [11:33] popey: did you ever receive a summons to the European Court to stand trial for your data privacy infringements ? [11:52] * TwistedLucidity wonders when the banhammer will fall again [11:52] on what? [11:54] davmor2: not as yet [11:56] popey: man these trolls you'd think they would at least back up their screaming addabs [12:38] davmor2: I looked up the name they PM'd me. Seems it's been grumbling on since ~2012. Whether or not there's anything to the claim, I dunno. I'm no lawyer. [12:38] My guess is though the bodkin yesterday was...er...delusional to say the least. [12:40] TwistedLucidity: bodkin and delusional like it that polite for beep beeping beep beep beeping whack job right [12:42] Well, their cognitive processes may not have an adequate alignment to social norms and reality; yes. [12:43] they're a long term troll [12:44] Charge them with harrasment. :-) [12:46] TwistedLucidity: mind you he did publicise popey data so does that mean he himself created a data breach and therefore needs to be counter sued with the same EU directive? [12:46] Won't that depend on whether or not they can be considered a "data controller"? [12:47] Also, with popey being world famous (on the covers of magazines etc) he probably has legions of screaming fans camped outside his house 24/7. So it was clearly public knowledge already. [12:50] hahahaha [12:50] * popey goes to pull the curtains [12:50] I heard that popey was almost smothered by middle aged women throwing their nickers at him while walking down the street [12:51] that's why popey always has his curtains drawn I did wonder [12:51] * knightwise worries for popey becoming another child-start [12:51] * knightwise worries for popey becoming another child-star [12:52] knightwise: that will never happen he's not a child [12:53] I was referring to his inner child === pavlushka is now known as zaki === zaki is now known as Guest92541 === Seeker`_ is now known as Seeker` [15:46] * diddledan screams at popey fanlike [15:46] * diddledan faints [15:46] * daftykins catches diddledan [15:47] * daftykins places him in the 'fainted' section [15:47] I think you misspelt feted [15:47] fated* [15:47] feta [15:48] mmmmm [15:48] lol [15:48] can't get beta then feta [15:48] than [15:48] oh god now you got popey mouse onto cheese again [15:48] popey: I love your dedication that a mere utterance of your name brings you out of the woodwork :-p [15:48] i reckon it was more like a "ugh diddledan has summoned me, brb folks" :D [15:49] haha [15:49] in the middle of a teleconference he'll be like "sorry, mark, I need to go talk to dan" [15:49] diddledan: yeah ruining it for the fans, popey get back on stage, popey for pm, and popey for pope too!!!!!! [15:51] davmor2: I asked in one of the tuesday ubuntu on air community gatherings how far the application for popey's sainthood had progressed. it seems that the powers-that-be hadn't even filed the paperwork [15:51] slackers [15:51] diddledan: tish shame on them [15:52] what with that and chloewolfiegirl asking everyone about their preference of cookies vs biscuit vs cake [15:52] at least the important topics are covered! [15:53] >:D [15:54] diddledan: surely the only response to cookies v biscuit v cake is YES, all three please, NOW!! [15:54] lol [15:54] perhaps the question was simply which order to consume them in? [15:54] i mean that's the only logical explanation! [15:56] daftykins: you are a genius, depends on the cake obviously [15:57] ah wise, sir [15:57] i'd be for a carrot cake or cheesecake myself, but i'd settle for a chocolate fudge... [15:58] daftykins: +1 on all three of those. you have in one utterance covered my three most favourites [15:58] 8D [15:59] why isn't there a cake with biscuits embedded in it. ice cream cake with jaffa cakes [16:00] i think from my perspective it'd be because that would cut into the swift shovelling process [16:00] daftykins: yeah but you have to take into account the biscuits and cookies with it. So if it is a light flavoured cake you might lead with that then go into the sweetness of the biscuit and the cookies with it's chocolate goodness [16:00] my my we're getting into dessert-Pro level now [16:02] you have to take dessert seriously it's the only way to thoroughly enjoy just ask popey about cheese he's the same :) [16:02] then again cheese cake uses crushed biscuits as a base [16:04] zmoylan-pi: see again this is why it is important to know the cake you are dealing with [16:15] http://secondnexus.com/ecology-and-sustainability/antarctica-ozone-layer-healing/?utm_content=inf_10_1164_2&tse_id=INF_19f190303f9411e68e9861cdccd935b9 [16:38] omgubuntu are reporting on a new meizu: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/06/meizu-mx6-ubuntu-edition [16:40] it's not announced by meizu or canonical tho, so I'm assuming if it exists popey won't be allowed to tell us so [16:40] gotta love NDA [16:40] I haven't even seen one [16:40] so no idea [16:40] \o/ [16:40] but yeah, if meizu are leaking then chances are it's legit [16:40] they leak like a leaky thing [16:40] lol [16:41] popey doesn't know so it must be official :-P [16:41] seive [16:41] zmoylan-pi: haha [16:41] hah [16:41] zmoylan-pi: yeah popey is too nice to keep secrits [16:41] so they don't tell him :-p [16:41] This is more accurate than you know. [16:42] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3561TrVeGD0 [16:44] this one is better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GixR1XepbQs [16:55] oh oh oh me sir I know sir popey is locked in a cupboard and hidden away from all the products [16:55] so true [16:59] living off beans on toast, cheese on toast, anything that can be slid under the door... [17:00] https://boingboing.net/2016/07/01/spotify-threatens-to-report-ap.html [17:01] zmoylan-pi: no no it's popey mouse he just lives off cheese [17:01] mmmmmm cheese [17:02] although today I'm doing crushed potatoes with broccoli and bbq port steaks.. nom nom [17:02] and stilton [17:02] well i suppose he could put the stiltson [17:02] popey: what's the difference between crushed and mashed potato? [17:02] might make tending the bbq a bit tough, though [17:03] mashed is when they are mashed pre been slid under the door. crushed is when they get mashed _as_ they get slid under the door... :-P [17:04] Seeker`: you use a masher to mash potatoes, crushed are softened till they can be crushed, that and it's what it says on the box of the microwave dinner we slid under the door to feed him on [17:05] Seeker`: leaving them partially intact [17:05] not smooth like smash [17:06] basically you get bored halfway through making mashed potatos and think "screw it, I'm hungry, that's close enough"? [17:28] Seeker`: kinda [17:29] They were *delicious* [17:41] popey: no that's your treat for the but if you're really good we'll let you out the cupboard for the weekend [17:41] \o/ [17:42] :) [17:44] * daftykins happily dozes in the cupboard [18:48] Arggghhhh......Youtube should be banned [18:49] poor Stehen :-( http://gizmodo.com/woman-arrested-for-plot-to-kill-stephen-hawking-1782966785 [18:49] +p [18:49] O_O [18:51] would be an odd one being his kid, "dear can you reboot your father before dinner please?" [18:57] tis a good job he doesn't have the computer regulating his breathing then! [19:00] hi [19:00] allo === brmbrmca1 is now known as brmbrmcar [19:01] sup;] [19:01] "hey, siri, breathe-in!" .. "hey siri, and now breathe-out!" [19:04] that would cut into ones day [19:04] mmm not much here mappps, just rippin' a music CD or two and ate a nice chicken jambalaya with plenty of tabasco just now :D [19:05] ermagerd just spotted it's a 5CD pack not a 2CD he asked me to do [19:05] * daftykins groans :P [19:08] daftykins: you need to made a raspberry pi device to automate it [19:09] nah, not possible... tagging would always be done badly [19:09] this one has just done what i feared, all the tracks have got their artist field separate... so imagine importing that into a library, every track gets thrown everywhere === brmbrmca1 is now known as brmbrmcar [19:24] I trust people are watching and supporting the Welsh in the efforts to go forward in euro 2016 [19:25] nope [19:43] bel have had good performances this yr [19:45] ikonia: Hell yes, but then again, I always supprt Wales [19:48] oof [19:49] * daftykins upgrades popey with SASL auth [19:50] daftykins: Probably needs an upgrade from virgin media to carrier pidgeon [19:51] :D [19:52] 😛 [19:52] aww i just got a square for that one [19:55] awwww [19:59] someone seems to have turned winter back on [20:00] * DJones looks at sunlight on the houses over the road [20:01] went to co-op to get beer, saw loads of clotted cream in the fridge, all going out of date tomorrow. I think they optimisitically stocked it thinking we'd all be eating scones & jam in sunny days [20:01] :( [20:02] popey: So how much did you buy? [20:04] Cream that is, not beer [20:06] love clotted cream [20:07] weirdly my family refers to it as "grotty cream". I have no idea why. [20:08] * daftykins takes notes for GCHQ [20:12] gchq takes note of daftykins [20:15] i wonder if i'm in their jurisdiction [20:15] DJones: none [20:15] i think they are of the belief that everyone is in their jurisdiction [20:16] i was thinking that :) [20:17] and with all that data they are swamped [20:49] sso many tv shows to watch;]7 [20:50] mappps: how was the work party? [20:50] wasnt bad , food was good [20:50] gah its so hot and sticky atm [20:50] horrid;/] [20:51] D: [20:51] another few months of summer and then autumn [20:52] its the humidiy [20:52] urgh [20:52] off to work, cya;D [20:54] Go Wales :) [20:54] are they doing well? [20:55] singing in welsh in the irish irc channel so i'm guessing yes [20:56] is it possible to discern the difference between "random foreign gibberish" (welsh) and "random foreign gibberish" (gaelic) [20:56] heh [20:56] hmm, you'd probably have to go with the intonations - do the Welsh go up and down like the Irish? :> [20:57] i cant find the key thing for inernet banking..BAH [20:57] very much so, spelling, pronounciation and an actual chance to wear out the y key [20:57] of course the word "gibberish" is pronounced in two different ways depending on whom you speak with: guh-ibberish and juh-ibberish [20:59] kinda like cif (the new name to eliminate the confusion of the graphics-interchange format pronunciation) [20:59] also, gives a sparkly shine to your bog === Myrtti_ is now known as Myrtti [21:00] hrmm this 5 CD set is all scratched to hell and back [21:00] \o/ [21:00] perhaps i shall just say no and suggest ordering one off amazon XD [21:01] daftykins: if you manage to get a clean rip, I suggest passing the files through a noise-generator [21:01] it's a steal! £70 new - https://www.amazon.co.uk/101-70s-Hits-Various-Artists/dp/B000TUC4X2/ [21:01] still ripping them... last time i ripper cds (a month or two back) it took less than 20 mins to rip 3 cds [21:01] well you probably do it with a very basic no error correction straight to $format type :) [21:02] you mean you're applying dilligence?! fo shame! [21:02] however this one is cringing on the last 2 tracks where there's a multitude of damage to the surface, so the error correction is having a field day [21:02] ah yeah, prope Exact Audio Copy (EAC) rippin' involving gap detection, .CUE file generation - and test and copy ripping to ensure it's 1:1 :D [21:02] *proper [21:02] next thing you'll be telling us you're using a format with greater clarity than 64kbps mp3! [21:02] :D [21:02] FLAC <3 [21:03] i did have one badly scratched cd so i played it in music cd player (played ok there) and used a cable link to pipe the audio into wav files which i converted to mp3 :-) [21:03] yeesh, who are you doing this for? I'm guessing someone from royal lineage by the effort and quality of the result! [21:04] i don't think these bad boys are going to play in anything, if error correction can't get past it, it's game over [21:04] * zmoylan-pi pictures nog fixing worfs klingon opera for a favour :-P [21:04] "yes brother" [21:04] ah no that was Ram [21:04] I can't remember that episode well enough to recall what he did with it [21:04] the error correction is handled slightly differently by data cds in pcs and audio cd players in music players [21:05] Nog's more angry :> [21:05] yeah, pretty sure EAC's approach would get a working copy out of it if it were possible though [21:05] nog was rom's kid wasn't he? [21:05] yep [21:05] yup [21:06] track 21, Kiki Dee - Amoureuse ; this will not be coming out [21:06] he does actually pay me to do 'em, one set in FLAC for the local library and another for the portables in MP3 V0 :) [21:07] circumventing drm... ::me reports daftykins to the authorities:: [21:07] there is no DRM [21:07] random tangent: I've got a 360KB (DD) 5.25inch floppy drive and a 1.44MB (HD) 3.5inch floppy drive hooked-up to a USB device called a kryoflux for ripping floppies [21:08] why such a low spec 5.25" drive? [21:08] what on earth are you pulling off? :) [21:08] I ebayed it [21:09] I don't believe I have any 5.25inch floppies that are non-360KB [21:09] i'm sure i could find a few cover floppies from the 90s... [21:10] most of the 3.5" were aol discs ended up been sent to customers with software patches on them... thank goodness for aol... :-) [21:11] lol [21:11] last time i did anything with a floppy i had to sit and re-read it about 12 times before it must've presumably remagnetised and started to work [21:11] removed the last one the last time i was in the server though, needed more space for HDDs! [21:12] i really liked the ls120s which were a super floppy 100% compatible with 3.5" discs. and also read a 120mb floppy [21:12] ah that rings a bell [21:12] i convinced my boss to replace the tape drives in point of sales systems with them. saved a bundle and much less hassle. [21:13] when they stopped making them we swapped to zip disks [21:13] back when imation weren't in an utter state [21:13] iomega did well with zip for a while too [21:14] and then the click of death [21:15] I always thought iomega would have gone-into portable hard disks as an evolution of their tape system [21:16] course the 2.5inch usb hdds are close but not quite as usable as interchangable units with a reader box [21:16] I still have a desktop pc tho :-p [21:16] they moved from zip to jaz drives but their customers didn't follow them as it was much more expensive for not such a giant leap [21:17] i had clients with zip but i never put any in or advised any, was slightly before my time though [21:18] what was the competitor to zip and jaz by sybase? [21:18] used in a mac-using designers I did work-experience with [21:18] by a* [21:19] not ringing any bells... [21:20] superdisk ls120 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SuperDisk [21:20] oh I think I might have the wrong name [21:20] syquest? [21:20] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SyQuest_Technology [21:20] that rings a bell [21:21] some flopticals... [21:22] never saw any of those used in anger [21:23] the apricots my dad brought home from his government job, one had removable 50MB cartridge type 'hard disks' [21:24] eventually died and he got a local shop to put in a SCSI card and a maxtor disk, i tried to fire it up a while back but it's old enough to mean that a failed CMOS battery means a totally unworkable BIOS, just no idea of all the config it'd need to work again [21:24] i do remember one of our customers bought a frankencontraption that streamed data in such a way that it could be recorded and recovered from home vcr systems [21:24] haha, madness [21:25] madness, no this is data recovery ::kick:: [21:25] :) === brmbrmca1 is now known as brmbrmcar [21:46] someone/thing is moaning/wailing outside [21:47] not a welsh person [21:48] meanwhile.. https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/y9amfmxvgtpis5nmikig.JPG [21:48] https://www.dropbox.com/s/3qg0d89ql430ozs/rip.png?dl=0 [21:48] yeah that was a fail [21:49] XD nice outfits [21:54] popey: they look like bert and ernie [22:02] https://unity3d.com/pages/adam [22:33] hah [22:35] daftykins: only three are wonky in that screenie [22:36] 4 [22:36] had to cancel the last 'cause it was getting nowhere [22:37] aah [22:37] CD2 went fine mind [22:37] just hearing this constant whoosh of air behind me, where the drive is in my server XD [22:39] diddledan: woah, that's pretty amazing [22:40] popey: I wonder if the wachowskis can claim copyright infringement based on the mocap in the opening sequence being ripped from the matrix? [22:42] is it? [22:42] popey: the movements are very accurate to the awakening scene where neo is first let-out of the matrix [22:50] so a normal baseball game goes 9 innings, this current one up in Toronto is in the 17th XD [22:50] when is tea? [22:50] all the time! [23:00] sucky wordwrap, but: https://paste.ubuntu.com/18272883/ [23:01] maybe I should put it somewhere else to be easier to read [23:01] yesh! [23:02] try this: https://markdownshare.com/view/07b37716-e5bc-447d-a001-10ab472f25fc [23:04] yay [23:04] oh it's politics [23:04] ;D [23:05] funny politics [23:06] Guernsey should've switched to euros the night before ;_; [23:06] actually no, i find it a really daft currency XD
