| brobostigon | morning | 09:34 |
| diddledan | My brother-in-law has gone and got himself an audi rs4 | 13:36 |
| diddledan | It goes. A lot. | 13:37 |
| daftykins | ;) | 13:39 |
| daftykins | https://sites.google.com/site/picoreplayer/home | 13:39 |
| daftykins | this looks fun | 13:39 |
| DJones | diddledan: Looking at the specs for RS4, top speed is 155MPH at 26.4MPG, my Diesel Insignia Estate does 140MPH at around 45MPG, I think I'd give up the extra 15 MPH for the extra 20 MPG :) | 13:44 |
| DJones | Specially with a 70 MPH speed limit | 13:44 |
| diddledan | DJones: that's the limited top speed | 13:45 |
| DJones | Although, as they say, the speed limit is 30 MPH, there's nothing to say you can't start at 30 :) | 13:45 |
| zmoylan-pi | but does the rs4 run linux... | 13:45 |
| diddledan | It'll actually go over 170 | 13:45 |
| DJones | Yeah, I can see that, is he moving to Germany to go on the autobahns | 13:45 |
| diddledan | It'll do 0-60 in less than 5seconds! | 13:47 |
| diddledan | And no, not moving to Germany | 13:47 |
| SuperEngineer | diddledan: did your bro have the pass the usual Audi "prove you can drive 4 inches from from the car in front" before purchase? | 13:48 |
| diddledan | No idea | 13:49 |
| SuperEngineer | hmmmmmmmmm | 13:49 |
| daftykins | :D | 13:53 |
| daftykins | hmm quite some variation in cost of a Pi 3 | 13:54 |
| diddledan | It's supposed to be 35$ | 13:55 |
| diddledan | Which means upwards of £670 | 13:55 |
| daftykins | :) | 13:56 |
| daftykins | ooh we have a winner! amazon UK sell the starter kit for the 2 at £50 - that comes to £41.67 in taxless rock moneys | 13:56 |
| daftykins | https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00T638EFA/ | 13:57 |
| diddledan | Lucky get | 13:57 |
| daftykins | no need for wifi in my plan | 13:57 |
| daftykins | meh got teased by faster specs too much | 14:30 |
| daftykins | £43.50 on amazon for a 3, just doesn't have cables but pssh who doesn't | 14:30 |
| zmoylan-pi | as a true geek you have 6000 cables tanlged up in huge ball for when you need a spare cable... | 14:32 |
| daftykins | indeed! | 14:34 |
| daftykins | zmoylan-pi: aren't you pleased? i'll own a Pi! :O | 14:34 |
| zmoylan-pi | doesn't everyone? :-) | 14:36 |
| zmoylan-pi | you never know if commodore wants to hold the record for most manufactured of single computer they'll have to start production again too... :-P | 14:36 |
| daftykins | i didn't until now :P | 14:39 |
| daftykins | if this works well, i may end up putting a few in for a full synced music setup at a clients, all around his huge house | 14:39 |
| zmoylan-pi | have you checked your cable ball recently? rasp pis are like coat hangers and appear out of nowhere... | 14:39 |
| zmoylan-pi | nice | 14:39 |
| daftykins | i've never even seen one in the flesh | 14:40 |
| zmoylan-pi | often buried in tiny case behind a screen | 14:44 |
| daftykins | naw | 14:44 |
| daftykins | i'll see how the audio quality is then maybe consider - https://www.hifiberry.com/dacplus/ | 14:44 |
| daftykins | :D | 14:45 |
| zmoylan-pi | there is a valve based amp for pi's if onboard doesn't cut it... :-) | 14:45 |
| daftykins | well the above uses a Burr Brown DAC so that'd be fine | 14:46 |
| zmoylan-pi | http://www.electronicsweekly.com/blogs/distribution-world/raspberry-pi-goes-hi-fi-with-audio-valve-amp-2016-04/ | 14:46 |
| daftykins | https://www.amazon.co.uk/HiFiBerry-DAC-Pro-HifiBerry/dp/B017L7K4BE/ £42 >_< | 14:48 |
| zmoylan-pi | more expensive than the computer you're adding it to... | 14:49 |
| daftykins | well, identical price to the kit that makes a bare Pi 3 usable | 14:49 |
| daftykins | unit, case and PSU are £43 on my order | 14:49 |
| zmoylan-pi | that's 3 things though | 14:50 |
| daftykins | all it has to do is take FLAC or less input and spit it out to stereo over HDMI, that might prove decent enough | 14:50 |
| * zmoylan-pi is thankful my ears are ok with mp3s and i don't need to use flac | 14:51 | |
| daftykins | it's not even particularly about that, it's about going from CD once and storage being cheap :) | 14:52 |
| zmoylan-pi | not when it's mobile devices... phones still seem stuck in <128gb territory | 14:53 |
| * zmoylan-pi finishes off the last of the cheese and crackers and prepares to limp to shops... | 14:54 | |
| knightwise | afternoon | 15:01 |
| daftykins | pop in my telco on the high street here, ask why i can text the US and they can't text me | 15:15 |
| daftykins | two youngsters far too fresh in the face, "err it's either a problem with their end or here" - well done Junior Sherlock! | 15:15 |
| knightwise | afternoon peepz | 15:25 |
| daftykins | \o | 15:29 |
| daftykins | heya | 15:29 |

| knightwise | damn | 15:31 |
| knightwise | i'm gonna have to move my router | 15:31 |
| knightwise | wifi reception in the garden is a bit spiffy | 15:31 |
| daftykins | XD | 15:35 |
| daftykins | spiffy sounds like a word for good, to me! | 15:36 |
| daftykins | just add an AP :P | 15:36 |
| knightwise | daftykins: yeah , probably will setup a repeater in my wifes office or something | 15:36 |
| knightwise | Prepping tomorrows podcast episode | 15:43 |
| daftykins | :( i avoid wifi repetition, horrible attempt at tech :) | 15:43 |
| daftykins | either a cable, or a WAP on the end of a powerine adapter perhaps ^_^ | 15:43 |

| SuperEngineer | a bunch of back-biting, funny hat wearing hippy haters ;-) [& now -pirateers] | 16:32 |
| daftykins | mmhmm | 16:33 |
| SuperEngineer | unlike our good lads & lasses of the sea ;-) | 16:33 |
| SuperEngineer | *lassies | 16:33 |
| SuperEngineer | .... *we* wouldn't put a foot wrong anywhere or anytime... surely we wouldn't![/me checks history & retracts that] | 16:37 |
| m0nkey_ | ... so I set-up our small inflatable pool for the kids to play this afternoon and a big nasty storm rolls in :( | 16:38 |
| === pavlushka is now known as Guest29209 | ||
| SuperEngineer | m0nkey_: turn the pool upside down, tell it you're not a Windows user, you are a Linux user.... that should sort it :-) | 16:45 |
| SuperEngineer | ...if it doesn't - hide under the upside down pool! | 16:46 |
| SuperEngineer | and pretend you're enjoying it | 16:49 |
| === Guest29209 is now known as pavlushka | ||
| * m6lpi gets confused as to why an Ubuntu server 16.04 needs 'iw' installed... | 21:21 | |
| m6lpi | especially when it's installed as a VM guest... | 21:22 |
| daftykins | don't say this is a minimalism kick... | 21:26 |
| m6lpi | it was more a WTF moment when installing | 21:27 |
| m6lpi | followed by "how many terminal multiplexers do I actually want?" | 21:27 |
| zmoylan-pi | more multiplexors than you can shake a keyboard shortcut at... | 21:29 |
