[03:38] id guess he is [03:38] 5am in the uk [03:39] * ball nods [03:39] That's about when I get up usually though. [03:39] ...not that I'm /always/ on IRC when I eat my breakfast. [03:40] Wait, isn't it 3:40 am? [03:40] Ah no, 04:40. [03:40] ...03:40 GMT. [03:41] ya [03:41] maybe 2hrs or so and hell be up [03:42] Hopefully I'll be asleep then. ;-) [03:43] might try installing ubuntu touch on my nexus7 [03:43] 5am is early to get up [03:44] I think my Nexus 7 is a paperweight. [03:44] Mind you, it's months since I even powered the thing up. [03:45] haha broken? [03:45] * ball nods [03:45] i dont use mine atm, i use my ipad or lenovo [03:45] I think it's the flash memory. [03:45] i found crome so slow on it too, so figured id try ubuntu [03:45] I miss it though. It was a great little tablet for Android. [03:47] you didn find it slow for chrome [03:48] i used it mainly for watching vids on train or work [03:48] why don you replace the memory [03:48] mapps: I didn't think they were repairable. [03:48] ...aren't they glued together? [03:49] oh [03:50] i thought youd be able to jus take it apart and replace [03:51] https://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/108068/Changing+of+flash+memory [03:51] yea doesnt look easy [03:51] I think they're supposed to be disposeable. I just can't bring myself to buy another. [03:51] ah hat sucks i hae throwing stuff out [03:52] If I had the money I'd be more likely to buy a laptop. [03:52] Can't really justify the expense though. [03:56] ah [03:56] i use my lenovo everyhwhere, got a carry case for it ;] [03:56] lenvo tablet that is [03:57] I just bought a TS140 for the office. Not exactly portable though ;-) [03:59] lenovo server? [03:59] you dont have a laptop atm?] [04:00] said youd buy one if you could...surely you have one [04:00] i have 2, 3 tables, 2 phones.geek ehl;] [04:01] I don't own a laptop. [04:03] Years ago I had a Mac DuoBook 2300c and I think before that a sort-of-Pentium that was really a 32-bit machine with most of the I/O hanging off ISA bus. [04:03] ...that was a good machine for its time. [04:03] Oh, and I had a couple of iBooks, including one that I ran Yellow Dog Linux on. [04:05] you ggot a desktop? [04:05] surely ? [04:08] Yes, sort of. I need to buy an SSD for it. [04:08] ...or put a couple of 2.5" disks in there. [04:10] ah [04:10] what ou on now then [04:12] A combination of my wife's Mac mini, my daughter's Ubuntu box and a BSD account in Michigan that I've had since 1997. [04:13] ...though we've changed platform on that Michigan box, from SPARC to amd64, iirc. [04:13] ah cool [04:13] i cant imagine no laptop or desktop, id rather have an old p4 than nothing [04:13] cant beieve some people ony have a phone and use that fr everything [04:14] I have a Pentium 4 at the office. ;-) [04:14] 2.5 GHz single-core, 2G RAM, 40G disk. [04:14] ...mostly works for me, though it sucks at video. [04:14] Fortunately I don't use it for that. [04:15] It's mostly an RDP client. [04:15] ...and runs some network tools. [04:16] ya [04:16] :)7 [04:16] whats i t run [04:20] NetBSD/i386 7.0.1 [04:27] mapps: ...or did you mean the tools? [04:28] i neant is ya [04:28] you watch mr robot [04:31] No, I don't watch much television. [04:32] oh [04:39] mapps: btw, do you remember the name of that ubuntu movie player people used to keep telling me to try [04:39] any idea what hes thinking of [04:39] it had a K like KDE but not kde [04:43] kdenlive? [04:45] kvlc? :-) [05:02] kgiveup [05:03] heh === mappps is now known as mapps [06:51] morning all [07:17] morning :) [07:57] allo allo [08:01] Morning all [08:07] after much umming and awwing I bought a metal detector yesterday [08:17] morning davmor2 foobarry [08:17] foobarry: you have too much time on your hands that's your problem ;) [08:18] should have just bought it quickly you mean? [08:18] MooDoo: morning me owld mucka 'ow in blazes am ya [08:18] i don't like spending money on myself :S [08:18] even though it was funded purely from amazon vouchers [08:25] davmor2: feeling pretty crappy today to be honest, not sure if i'm just tired or coming down with something [08:25] well, anything valuable you find belongs to the queen so it's not all spending money on yourself :-) [08:26] MooDoo: :( well pull yourself together man or we'll have to start calling you a southerner ;) [08:26] only old stuf [08:26] stuf less than 250 years belongs to me , and the landowner, depending on the agreement [08:28] and if it's found on beaches? [08:30] if its "treasure" then its declared [08:30] if its a gold necklace from ratners then it's yours [08:30] The Treasure Act 1996 deals with the definition of treasure, along with the payment of rewards in relation to permitted metal detecting [08:31] i think you dig a deeper hole for the rathers stuff :-) [08:31] *ratners [08:33] might popo down to southend at my learning trip [08:33] shame that detecting is so restrictied in UK [08:33] in the US they don't have an history i suppose. you can detect in most parks etc [08:34] stops national treasures been melted down for cash [08:34] more likely they will discover a hoard for excavation [08:34] which often happens [08:35] http://www.culture24.org.uk/history-and-heritage/archaeology/art548868-Archaeological-dig-planned-as-metal-detectorist-discovers-untouched-Bronze-Age-burial-mound [08:35] etc etc [08:42] morning boys and girls. [08:46] Heh. "The Detectorists" was a good show. [08:46] * TwistedLucidity knows nothing about detectorology [08:48] Attach a VR drone to the detectoriser, then you can whizz up and down the beach/field/whatever from the comfort of your own home! [08:49] Do it close enough to the ground, and you could cut the grass at the same time. [08:49] New for 2017 from Flymo: Remote VR lawnmower and treasure finder. [08:50] *Actual treasure is not guaranteed [08:58] state of the lawn afterwards neither... [09:01] Good morning all! Happy Wednesday, and happy Embrace Your Geekness Day! 😃 [09:03] * zmoylan-pi checks to see that i'm wearing a geeky t-shirt... ancient dvd cca with source code for decrypting linux on the back... [09:03] buying a metal detector is embracing my geekness [09:03] *decrypting dvds on linux [09:04] deCSS.png? [09:04] that's the one [09:06] Kids today don't know the things we went through just so they can watch Pokemon movies on those long-haul flights. [09:06] it's the ones hammering on the cockpit door to get the next pokemon that will learn the hard way... [09:06] foobarry: No, repurposing the metal detector as an at-home-MRI machine is embracing your geeknees. Bonus points for doing the processing on a RasPi cluster. [09:07] my new ringtone.... do doooo do doo [09:07] right [09:07] Heheh. [09:08] camerons theme? [09:08] That reminds me - there are a load of compositions that have sprung up from that, I need to have a listen. [09:08] really cheered me up that did [09:08] "Cameron's Lament" was one, I believe. [09:08] still lauighing about it [09:08] better than chewbaccas mum [09:09] The press conference had an air of Roy Hodgson about it, but the little ditty at the end rescued it. [09:10] i find it funny because its the sort of thing i do, but usually the walalce and gromit theme tune [09:10] Git, I'm going to be singing that all morning now. [09:10] http://www.avclub.com/article/internet-has-field-day-david-camerons-sad-little-r-239453 has a selection of derivative works... :-P [09:11] zmoylan-pi, that's the one! [09:11] been singing it for 10 years [09:11] i thought the cameron tune was a happy one [09:20] morning [09:45] zmoylan-pi: it's the end of the world as we know it, this is the end hold your breath and count to ten etc [10:29] JamesTait: think this covers you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5yFCV-GuRE [10:31] SO it would seem. [11:17] still waiting on my package :-( [11:19] I wish my RasPi UPS would turn up 'n all. [11:19] ooh new pi [11:19] do you have plans for it? [11:20] how big is a rasp pi ups? are you sure they didn't leave it under door mat? :-) [11:20] diddledan: Old Pi B+, new UPS [11:20] aah [11:20] UPS. I equated that to the parcel co [11:20] stupid people using a name twice [11:21] i blame baden baden [11:40] seagulls?! [11:40] I'm 60 miles from the nearest sea [11:41] They scavenge off anything. Often seen around landfills [11:43] how far from nearest river as some will stay near water that way [11:43] there's a canal the other side of town somewhere I think [11:43] other than that about 4 miles [11:44] maybe a bit more [11:44] the test river rises near basingstoke [11:45] https://goo.gl/maps/rMewtLf1PoS2 [11:46] the marker should be on roughly the source of the test [11:46] the test is the one that enters the sea at southampton [11:49] bigcalm: lol [11:49] I love amazon's box choices [11:50] When does the Test river become the Release river? [11:50] when it gets good enough grades? [11:51] after it bypasses google hq? [12:13] http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/36780959/gta-5-pride-modification-aims-to-honour-orlando-attack-victims [13:28] Mornin' [13:28] balls [13:28] it's 'noon [13:28] :-p [13:29] diddledan: It's always mornin' somewhere. ;-) [13:29] it's always morning in Universal Greeting Time [13:33] It's 08:33 here and I'm thinking of going to the garage across the road in search of a fancy coffee. [13:34] fancy coffee ftw [13:34] ...looks dark and foreboding out there though. Might get struck by lightning. [13:34] :-o [13:46] https://www.thurrott.com/cloud/microsoft-consumer-services/skype/72799/microsoft-bringing-skype-linux-chromebook-chrome-web-browser [13:52] downloads are at https://community.skype.com/t5/Linux/Skype-for-Linux-Alpha-and-calling-on-Chrome-amp-Chromebooks/td-p/4434299 [14:09] Sooo...only for ChromeOS? No actual *real* GNU/Linuv love? That was the big announcement we're supposed to get excited over? [14:10] Ah "Linux, Chromebook". OK then [14:10] you misread [14:10] * TwistedLucidity gets excited [14:10] Actually, not really excited. Skype is just a means to an end, I only really use it to speak with my parents [14:11] And the client I'm using now (no idea of version) does text, audio & video well enough. [14:12] Skype is horrid in my experience. One of the few things it has going for it is that it's cross-platform. [14:12] I'd rather use Jitsi, but it seems to struggle with my parents' poor internet [16:23] Guess what this is? https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/Pln8MzJ5/irccloudcapture-521740221.jpg nsfw [16:24] Oops wrong place please ignore and wipe from logs [16:25] cant be wipped [16:25] Crud [16:25] Can I destroy the link it leads to by somehow wiping from irccloud? [16:26] Was it a question about goats? [16:27] svea____: all Ubuntu channels are automatically logged - why not remove the image [16:28] I wish I knew how === PaulW2U_ is now known as PaulW2U [17:29] hi [18:17] Seeker`: hi [18:18] meh Seeker` sorry was for Seb but he went :) [18:20] hi akkll [19:50] http://twitchls.com/previouslyrecorded_live streaming pokemon go - this is amazing [20:06] ali1234: is something amazing gonna happen? [20:06] technical difficulties probably [20:06] or they might get mugged [20:06] lol [20:07] are we betting on the horrible things that could happen to them? :-P [20:07] ali1234: I've been playing it with my gf, great fun, me and her own every gym in Margate [20:12] i installed it today but i didn't try actually playing it yet [20:12] seems like a lot of effort [20:12] wussat? [20:12] poke mango [20:12] it's not effort it's exercise... :-) [20:13] granted it's in the great outdoor which most geeks nerds have a natural aversion to... :-) [20:39] it would explain that i saw a lot more young folk out walking glued to their screens on car free cycle lane / foot path near here... [20:39] :) [20:40] suffice to say, there'll be more blood spilled and idiots Darwin awarded before the month is through [20:41] it'll be like blackberry never went away... :-P [20:45] now they just need to make a pac man version for the kids of the 80s :-D [20:45] did they have a rep on their inception for driving people to self injury? [20:46] when they first appeared around dublin i must have stopped a dozen people gazing at them from stepping onto road at traffic lights without looking. then i stopped bothering. if they wanted to be that dumb, who was i to stop them? [20:52] too right [20:57] http://i.imgur.com/EwgYOSI.jpg do these caps look blown? they've peaked up in the centre (not the middle one of the 3 circled) [20:57] yes [20:57] ty sir [20:58] iffy reliability on this clients' old core 2 duo machine, only POSTs sometimes [20:58] ATWY caps are known to be poor quality too [20:58] mmm, it is a pretty low end board [20:59] Asus P5KPL-AM SE [20:59] "TK stands for Terrible Kapacitors" [20:59] still, survived 7 years! [20:59] http://www.audunmelbye.no/2012/05/17/motherboard-repair/ [21:01] :D [21:01] Hi guys, just testing my nickserv [21:01] it'd be so useful if i could solder right about now [21:01] tabland: #freenode is handy for that ;) [21:01] thanks [21:01] ship it to me, i'll do it for £50 [21:01] including caps [21:01] i'm sure your local hackerspace teaches soldering daftykins [21:02] haha, i bet there's no such thing [21:02] soldering is the easy part tbh. getting the old caps out without damaging the board is the hard bit [21:02] we've got a cheapie amp that needs at least a cap replacement [21:02] at least. [21:03] it's got a hum that's super annoying, but it also makes a ticking noise [21:03] Myrtti: is that on the list of "things hubby hasn't got around to" :D [21:03] https://wiki.hackerspaces.org/List_of_Hacker_Spaces [21:03] daftykins: and research too http://www.amazon.co.uk/review/R2UIUVY41HEEKU [21:04] funky! [21:05] i'd kinda like a higher end hifi for my bedroom, the little JVC micro component system i have (still with minidisc!) sounds rubbish playing back things i know [21:05] we had to unplug it because we kept thinking we've got a deathwatch beetle in the loft. Turns out the amp outputted a knocking sound to the JBL's on our wardrobes [21:05] someone other than sony made minidisc?? [21:05] drove me nuts for months [21:06] hells yeah, MD was ace \o/ [21:06] i had a couple of portable players back in the day :) [21:06] i always wanted a minidisc at the time but couldn't justify the expense [21:07] Myrtti: i too am quite sensitive to noises, the xbox360 of mine (not that it is used much anymore) power supply emits a high pitched whine when simply plugged in - i can also hear the 2.5" laptop hard disk plugged into my xbox one spinning when the console is also off :/ [21:07] yeah, it's really annoying [21:08] zmoylan-pi: i probably paid £230 odd for those players back then, had a Sharp branded one also - in fact this very one! http://www.minidisc.org/images/sharp_mdmt877.jpg [21:08] i seem to have a knack for memorising model numbers [21:09] then ones i was looking at used a single aa battery for a ridiculous amount of time considering what it was doing [21:09] indeed! they coped quite well with being thrown around with my cycling too, i think they had a decent chunk of DRAM as a buffer [21:09] in the end mp3s came along and i got a cheap cd player that read discs stuffed with mp3s [21:10] 10 cds worth on one cd [21:10] aaah that rings a bell [21:10] :) [21:10] ooh you've reminded me, i picked up the 5 CD set from the clients' which is decidedly less scratched than his first one [21:10] ripping cds on amd-k62. an overnight job to rip one cd... [21:10] so it's back on the ripping job for me [21:10] ouch! [21:11] that sounds more optical based than encode based o0 [21:11] it was a very slow pc with just 32mb of ram. we bought them super cheap [21:13] some of the sharpest most jagged pc cases i ever had the misfortune to handle [21:14] daftykins: up and running! [21:14] diddledan: :D [21:14] diddledan: how's she feel? [21:14] I still need to copy my 'dows drive onto the superspeed ssd but it's fairly snappy as is [21:14] "seems faster" [21:16] you should just install from the anniversary media when it comes out august 2nd [21:16] so you just booted the existing install? :P there's a recipe for disaster :D [21:16] I did :-p [21:17] lawl [21:20] I need to take half a day to route my power cables in my pc properly [21:20] as is I just shoved a shedload of cable-ties at it [21:20] bring bandaid and tcp [21:21] heh [21:21] the main atx and cpu power I think I can hide behind the board professional-like [21:22] https://www.dropbox.com/s/lhv5x4gx8fix535/7.jpg?dl=0 [21:22] i did mine nice 'n' tidy ;D [21:22] * diddledan tears-up at the beauty [21:23] fancy [21:23] you're too kind! [21:23] that's the honkin' great new nvidia 1070 too [21:23] bonus points for resisting the urge to have blue leds or lite up cables everywhere :-) [21:23] :-o [21:23] no fur [21:25] you say that but 2 weeks in i did vacuum some Mischief from the front intakes behind the door ;) [21:26] hehe, yeah maybe in my youth but i don't like any of that daftness now [21:26] in fairness the mobo does have silly red LEDs that swoosh around, but it's all firmly disabled [21:26] my mobo has leds around the audio circuitry [21:26] red leds... bad but endurable. blue are just annoying though [21:26] orange ones! [21:26] ah bless, with all this old core 2 junk i can finally upgrade my file server from 4GB RAM to 8GB [21:27] \o/ [21:27] or i could run it with 4GB DDR3 instead of 2, as it's one of those funky DDR2 and 3 hybrid boards! [21:27] sadly only one at once, of course [21:29] I'm more happy than I thought I would be about being back on an intel cpu - I wonder why that gives me warm fuzzies? [21:29] intel ftw? [21:30] evil practices in the past, but things work :) [21:49] less evil than nvidia... [21:56] really? but intel did all that anti competitive marketing funds stuff [22:49] but linus cussed out nvidia :-) [22:50] weeeeell, Linux support is what it is :P [22:50] FOSS folk can have their underwear twisted whichever way they like, i agree it's a shame, but development time for 1 or 2% of your market? it's just business sense [23:00] nvidia puts a huge amount of development into linux [23:00] they just don't open source most of it [23:01] in the end though, it works far better than anything else [23:04] hi [23:18] indeedy, nvidia'd be my choice if i ran a Loonix
