[10:24] <BluesKaj_> Hiyas all
[15:54] <tgm4883> nacc: are you suggesting that 15.10 was a development release?
[15:54] <nacc> tgm4883: sorry, typo'd, still waking up :)
[15:54] <tgm4883> ok :)
[15:55] <tgm4883> I know some people do call non-lts releases dev releases, and they really shouldn't
[15:55] <nicomachus> boo. forgot to turn on my PC at home this morning. can't backup without it...
[15:56] <nacc> tgm4883: yep, it's a bad habit on my part
[15:56] <daftykins> from work o0
[15:56] <tgm4883> nicomachus: upgrade and if things go awry then restore from your normal backups?
[15:57] <nicomachus> tgm4883: it's been a couple weeks. :/
[15:58] <nicomachus> daftykins: yes from work. in my line of work, everything is owned by me. data, documents, etc. I guarantee no one else on staff has backups anywhere. but they all run windows so don't think about updating OS's or anything like htat.
[15:59] <daftykins> heh, nasty
[15:59] <daftykins> think i'd rather take in an external HDD though and have the benefit of speed
[16:00] <nicomachus> heh. the external HDD is currently plugged into my PC at home. :/
[16:01] <nicomachus> I think it's actually a faster transfer that way anyway. I have parallel gigabit on both machines, but this laptop only has USB 2.0 and the PC at home has 3.0
[16:01] <nicomachus> so max on this machine would be, what, 500 Mbps?
[16:02] <daftykins> far less, speed of the drive if it's mechanical
[16:02] <daftykins> less still if the enclosure doesn't support UASP
[16:02] <nicomachus> true. it is mechanical.
[16:03] <daftykins> i'm gonna see if i can reassemble my old graphics card without the air gap i noticed last time, hoping it's not entirely dead after all

[16:04] <nicomachus> model/
[16:04] <nicomachus> s///?/
[16:04] <daftykins> 2GB nvidia 560Ti
[16:05] <daftykins> got the lovely new MSI nvidia 1070 8GB in my new desktop build :D
[19:07]  * tgm4883 sighs
[19:11] <daftykins> more delightful customers?
[19:15] <tgm4883> Not customers this time
[19:16] <tgm4883> I just find it so much fun when we point out that we shouldn't support something (in this instance, we shouldn't help enable a user stay on an EOL version) and the persons response (that is enabling this) is "I'm just providing unbiased facts. End of discussion"
[19:16] <tgm4883> I mean, get off yourself dude
[19:21] <daftykins> some guy is helping someone keep running EOL?
[19:22] <daftykins> that's as damaging as the ones that say lubuntu can revive a turd like a netbook :( very frustrating
[19:29] <tgm4883> yep
[21:29] <daftykins> bearing in mind the rule on support in here, has anyone used mod_evasive with apache2 before?
[21:33] <daftykins> ah nevermind :) just for reference though, i had a web server getting hammered by random IPs that kept changing - mod_evasive is kind of like an alternative to fail2ban but built into apache - it's now blocking IPs based on repeated access attempts which before were causing apache to fall over
[21:34] <Bashing-om> Heads up. the forum has problems posting .. expect our traffic load on the channel to increase .
[21:34] <daftykins> ooh dear!
[21:34] <daftykins> Bashing-om: just in time for the weekend masses ;)
[21:35] <Bashing-om> Oh Joy ! See what all you are missing .. daftykins I miss ya on the channel !
[21:37] <daftykins> :) thanks sir
[21:37] <daftykins> missing you on #squoo.sh too!
[21:39] <Bashing-om> There not a thing going on in squoo.sh; when there is .. I can and will join .. where oh where has our fearless leader got off to ?
[21:40] <daftykins> True, that - but a nice little camp for us to chat in. I'd wager he's buried under a project or two :) He did mention buying a new farm for a new build iirc
[21:41] <Bashing-om> yeah .. I can accept that building a new house ( as in domicile) will take up ALL time .
[21:43] <Bashing-om> you, me and 2 others in #squoo.sh .... pickens are slim .
[21:44] <daftykins> plus you know how much he likes to multi-task with and keep going on the back burners :D
[21:46] <Bashing-om> Then again, maybe a flood wiped out his data center ??
[21:49] <daftykins> ah he seemed to think he's pretty safe from floods i think
[21:51] <Bashing-om> Next time lotus checks in .. will have him ping TJ-; he was able once before to raise him up to provide his status .
[21:54] <daftykins> ah no i did that by dropping him an email :)
[21:55] <daftykins> could certainly check in on him again
[21:55] <Bashing-om> Ho Kay; Time to see if he is still breathing ?
[21:58] <daftykins> sure can
[22:00] <Bashing-om> when #squoo.sh channel number lights up .. will know TJ- is on !
[22:13] <daftykins> bit too engrossed in a task of my own right now though :(
[23:03] <Bashing-om> Forum is back in business :)
