[09:33] <daftykins> i see we still have a llama problem
[09:33] <bittin> morning
[09:34] <brobostigon> morning
[13:36] <diddledan> My brother-in-law has gone and got himself an audi rs4
[13:37] <diddledan> It goes. A lot.
[13:39] <daftykins> ;)
[13:39] <daftykins> https://sites.google.com/site/picoreplayer/home
[13:39] <daftykins> this looks fun
[13:44] <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
[13:45] <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
[13:47] <diddledan> It'll do 0-60 in less than 5seconds!
[13:47] <diddledan> And no, not moving to Germany
[13:48] <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?
[13:49] <diddledan> No idea
[13:49] <SuperEngineer> hmmmmmmmmm
[13:53] <daftykins> :D
[13:54] <daftykins> hmm quite some variation in cost of a Pi 3
[13:55] <diddledan> It's supposed to be 35$
[13:55] <diddledan> Which means upwards of £670
[13:56] <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
[13:57] <daftykins> https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00T638EFA/
[13:57] <diddledan> Lucky get
[13:57] <daftykins> no need for wifi in my plan
[14:30] <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
[14:32] <zmoylan-pi> as a true geek you have 6000 cables tanlged up in huge ball for when you need a spare cable...
[14:34] <daftykins> indeed!
[14:34] <daftykins> zmoylan-pi: aren't you pleased? i'll own a Pi! :O
[14:36] <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
[14:39] <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
[14:40] <daftykins> i've never even seen one in the flesh
[14:44] <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/
[14:45] <daftykins> :D
[14:45] <zmoylan-pi> there is a valve based amp for pi's if onboard doesn't cut it... :-)
[14:46] <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/
[14:48] <daftykins> https://www.amazon.co.uk/HiFiBerry-DAC-Pro-HifiBerry/dp/B017L7K4BE/ £42 >_<
[14:49] <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
[14:50] <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
[14:51]  * zmoylan-pi is thankful my ears are ok with mp3s and i don't need to use flac
[14:52] <daftykins> it's not even particularly about that, it's about going from CD once and storage being cheap :)
[14:53] <zmoylan-pi> not when it's mobile devices... phones still seem stuck in <128gb territory
[14:54]  * zmoylan-pi finishes off the last of the cheese and crackers and prepares to limp to shops...
[15:01] <knightwise> afternoon
[15:15] <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!
[15:25] <knightwise> afternoon peepz
[15:29] <daftykins> \o
[15:29] <daftykins> heya
[15:30] <daftykins> i almost sent mr.llama an email to sort things out :P
[15:31] <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
[15:35] <daftykins> XD
[15:36] <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
[15:43] <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 ^_^
[16:04] <knightwise> Glossy screens .. i hate em !
[16:05] <SuperEngineer> knightwise: get some sandpaper. Apply liberally to gloost screen
[16:05] <SuperEngineer> *glossy
[16:05] <knightwise> heheh
[16:05] <knightwise> Might work in deed
[16:06] <SuperEngineer> :-)
[16:09] <knightwise> Working outdoors for the moment. Its too damn hot lately
[16:10] <SuperEngineer> Seeems like a case of "fridge has not got enough room to fit knightwise inside"
[16:11] <SuperEngineer> Me.. inside... sitting by a nice breezy window
[16:12] <knightwise> What machine are you workin on SuperEngineer
[16:13] <SuperEngineer> oooh, Microsoft, there's a new name for a cloud release uyou can have frr of charge... Windows Breezy
[16:13] <SuperEngineer> [working on own home-built pc
[16:14] <daftykins> just done more vacuuming myself, but oof that's far too hot work
[16:15] <SuperEngineer> [screen strategically placed next to TV so I can watch the F1 qually anfd the anniversary games
[16:15] <SuperEngineer> nooooooooooooooooooooo.... not vacuuming - not allowed!!
[16:18] <SuperEngineer> My duties today: back up both pc's, update 3 systems on this pc, 2 on other pc, update both netbooks and the HP mini... & get hair cut
[16:18] <SuperEngineer> all done [& no more pony tail] :-(
[16:20] <SuperEngineer> it's nice having a day off - even better when it's an F1 weekend [and your only plan left is to have a lie-in tommorrow morning]
[16:21] <daftykins> :O
[16:22] <daftykins> back to short hair eh?
[16:22] <SuperEngineer> yes, no more hippy stylie :-(
[16:23] <SuperEngineer> talking of hippies...
[16:23] <SuperEngineer> http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/07/batten-down-the-hatches-navy-accused-of-pirating-585k-copies-of-vr-software/
[16:27] <daftykins> nothing in that title suggests hippy to me :P
[16:32] <SuperEngineer> a bunch of back-biting, funny hat wearing hippy haters ;-) [& now -pirateers]
[16:33] <daftykins> mmhmm
[16:33] <SuperEngineer> unlike our good lads & lasses of the sea ;-)
[16:33] <SuperEngineer> *lassies
[16:37] <SuperEngineer> .... *we* wouldn't put a foot wrong anywhere or anytime... surely we wouldn't![/me checks history & retracts that]
[16:38] <m0nkey_>  ... so I set-up our small inflatable pool for the kids to play this afternoon and a big nasty storm rolls in :(
[16:45] <SuperEngineer> m0nkey_: turn the pool upside down, tell it you're not a Windows user, you are a Linux user.... that should sort it :-)
[16:46] <SuperEngineer> ...if it doesn't - hide under the upside down pool!
[16:49] <SuperEngineer> and pretend you're enjoying it
[21:21]  * m6lpi gets confused as to why an Ubuntu server 16.04 needs 'iw' installed...
[21:22] <m6lpi> especially when it's installed as a VM guest...
[21:26] <daftykins> don't say this is a minimalism kick...
[21:27] <m6lpi> it was more a WTF moment when installing
[21:27] <m6lpi> followed by "how many terminal multiplexers do I actually want?"
[21:29] <zmoylan-pi> more multiplexors than you can shake a keyboard shortcut at...
