| ducasse | hi daftykins, any plans for today? | 09:58 |
| daftykins | mmm domestic chores i think, i also have a new Dell XPS13 9350 to reinstall for a client, but the next windows 10 build comes out on the 2nd of August so not much point doing it now other than for fun ;) | 09:59 |
| daftykins | how about yourself? | 09:59 |
| ducasse | not really, i'm trying to find someone who sells keyboards with mechanical cherry switches in international layouts - not easy :-( | 10:00 |
| daftykins | ooh, which layout do you require? i just ordered one recently as my das keyboard has been irritating me with dropping some vowel presses | 10:01 |
| daftykins | but i'm simple and only want a UK layout | 10:01 |
| ducasse | i'd _love_ a das keyboard, but i'm so used to norwegian layout. | 10:01 |
| daftykins | i had the blank one :) | 10:02 |
| ducasse | i _ca_ handle us, but... | 10:02 |
| ducasse | _can_ | 10:02 |
| daftykins | ah US is evil, they put the |\ above enter - and have that nasty single row enter | 10:02 |
| ducasse | yes, but i've owned a lot of old unix workstations with us layout, so it's in muscle memory like the norwegian layout. | 10:03 |
| daftykins | aww, corrupted! | 10:04 |
| daftykins | >:) | 10:04 |
| ducasse | i bought a razer black widow a while back, since that was available in my layout and the switches are nice, but a couple of keys hang a little. they tend to send two keys on one press. | 10:05 |
| * ducasse wants his NeXTStation back | 10:05 | |
| daftykins | ouch that'd be as annoying as my das dropping the 'o' | 10:05 |
| ducasse | the razer cost a fortune, and i only bought it a year ago. needless to say i'm not getting another. | 10:06 |
| daftykins | https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01F1VKG8S/ i have this on order right now | 10:07 |
| ducasse | ah, steelseries use cherry? that could be an option - i've seen those here. thanks :) | 10:08 |
| ducasse | have you tried them? | 10:08 |
| daftykins | yep cherry red in there | 10:08 |
| daftykins | i've only had blue on my das, so i'm not sure how it'll be - more of a 'gaming' choice allegedly | 10:09 |
| ducasse | hmm. yes, i was hoping for blue, but maybe they have that as well. the razer is also a gaming keyboard, but just fine except for the hanging keys thing. | 10:10 |
| daftykins | sadly not in that model, mmm | 10:10 |
| daftykins | last time i bought my das many years ago it was from www.getdigital.de - you could have a browse there :) | 10:10 |
| daftykins | i'm sure they'd sell a US layout das with blue, which could be one choice | 10:11 |
| ducasse | yes, us layout is my fallback. but as you say it's evil :) | 10:12 |
| daftykins | :D | 10:12 |
| ducasse | uk layout could also be interesting, though, i didn't think of that first. | 10:14 |
| daftykins | run with the cool kids! *whistle* - no bias whatsoever | 10:16 |
| ducasse | which model das keyboard do you have? | 10:16 |
| daftykins | it says "DASK3" on the back and was an ultimate, so blank - probably 7+ years old | 10:19 |
| daftykins | quite a long time but i still feel they should last longer | 10:19 |
| ducasse | +1. these switches can handle >50m keystrokes. | 10:20 |
| daftykins | the keys it drops changes per day, so i think it's the controller board - but it's nothing i can do anything about, it seems | 10:21 |
| ducasse | i'm looking at the 4 pro and the model s pro, the 4 pro has two usb 3.0 ports, which could be nice, i guess. | 10:21 |
| ducasse | not that i _need_ two 3.0 ports when my desktop is ~30cm away :) | 10:22 |
| daftykins | i could've always done without the hub :> i used to have power up issues until they shipped me a free USB 'Y' cable | 10:22 |
| ducasse | when i think about it, i think my keyboard came with 1 year warranty... | 10:23 |
| ducasse | these also look nice - http://codekeyboards.com/ | 10:24 |
| ducasse | in swedish layout, that's pretty close. | 10:25 |
| daftykins | :> | 10:26 |
| ducasse | the only difference is the øæå keys, the swedes use öäå instead. minor difference, really. i could live with that :) | 10:28 |
| ducasse | the xps13 is a terrible thing to waste on windows 10, btw ;) | 10:33 |
| daftykins | it's not, since no Linux can run properly on it without Dell PPAs | 10:34 |
| ducasse | urgh :-( | 10:34 |
| daftykins | and all Linux distros on nice laptops trash the battery life. | 10:34 |
| daftykins | 2~, | 10:34 |
| daftykins | , | 10:34 |
| daftykins | ,, | 10:34 |
| daftykins | ,,, | 10:34 |
| daftykins | ~~~ | 10:34 |
| daftykins | oops sorry, keyboard clean | 10:34 |
| ducasse | :) | 10:35 |
| daftykins | i'm having to get by on a membrane Dell cheapy for now :( | 10:39 |
| ducasse | laptops and linux don't play well together, it's sad. probably hard to fix. | 10:39 |
| daftykins | yeah, you need the 4.6 kernel i think for skylake to be happy, too - and certainly no ubuntu has that out of the box | 10:40 |
| ducasse | no, i deliberately did not buy skylake when i bought a new desktop last summer, didn't feel like being a guinea pig. | 10:41 |
| daftykins | that's a very sad reflection on Linux when you feel the need to avoid the bleeding edge | 10:42 |
| ducasse | yup, i just wanted something that worked. still, i'm perfectly happy with the machine :) | 10:42 |
| daftykins | aaah glorious clean desk \o/ | 10:44 |
| ducasse | yay! \o/ | 10:45 |
| daftykins | i treated myself recently with the replacement of my core 2 quad Q6600 desktop, now running a skylake i7-6700, 32GB DDR4, NVMe M.2 SSD and just recently an nvidia GTX 1070 8GB graphics card to cap it off | 10:47 |
| ducasse | oooh, nice :) mine's just 4790k, 32g ddr3 and 2x samsung 850 evo sata.. | 10:48 |
| daftykins | ^_^ probably very little between them | 10:50 |
| ducasse | the 6700 wasn't out when i bought mine, so i got the best single-core performance i could, which was the 4790k. it's plenty fast for me. | 10:50 |
| ducasse | i don't have a discrete gpu, though, so your graphics performance just *might* be a teeeny bit better. | 10:52 |
| ducasse | :-P | 10:52 |
| daftykins | ^_^ | 10:52 |
| daftykins | that reminds me, now there are 1,920 cores there i was going to install folding@home to see just how impressively quick it handles some GPU compute jobs now | 10:53 |
| ducasse | nvidia has linux sw for video encoding, don't they? | 10:55 |
| daftykins | not sure | 10:55 |
| ducasse | think i saw that mentioned somewhere. | 10:55 |
| daftykins | the name nvenc rings a bell but i don't know what platforms it's on | 11:03 |
| ducasse | that's one thing i'd like a decent gpu for, as it would probably be a lot faster than using the cpu. sw support is a problem, though. | 11:04 |
| daftykins | i'm waiting for some software to catch up as it is, as my video player of choice doesn't know my card can do hardware decode of everything now :D | 11:17 |
| daftykins | got some high bitrate HEVC samples here | 11:17 |
| ducasse | which player are you using? | 11:18 |
| daftykins | MPC-HC | 11:19 |
| daftykins | mmm vacuuming in a warm house, eek | 11:20 |
| ducasse | not fun, i did all the domestic stuff yesterday so today i'll just refuse to do all the other stuff i should have done long ago. | 11:43 |
| daftykins | :D | 11:43 |
| ducasse | i'm an idjit, btw, didn't consider just getting a nice keyboard with us layout and replace the keycaps... | 11:44 |
| ducasse | daftykins: /me found! wasdkeyboards.com has mechanical keyboards, any kind of cherry switch, 105-key, any layout you want :) they can even get me one with tux on the windows keys :) | 12:02 |
| ducasse | *happy dance* | 12:02 |
| daftykins | *super keys ;) | 12:03 |
| ducasse | whatever, i just think of it as mod4 ;) | 12:03 |
| daftykins | platform agnostic \o/ | 12:05 |
| ducasse | this was so much easier than i thought i'm actually a bit sceptical ;) need to check a couple of reviews, see what the build quality is like... | 12:10 |
| daftykins | seems to be US, so shipping might not be fun? | 12:17 |
| ducasse | should be fine, i think. had some stuff shipped from the us around easter, took less than a week via normal airmail. | 12:20 |
| BluesKaj | howdy all | 12:24 |
| daftykins | \o | 12:25 |
