| daftykins | temp ban perhaps for sanity? | 13:22 |
| DJones | Right | 13:24 |
| DJones | Been settled for the last 10 minutes, if it keeps on, I'll ban forward to #fixyourconnection, daftykins Give me a shout if you see it continuing | 13:26 |
| daftykins | DJones: will do, though i'll likely be out for the afternoon shortly :) | 13:27 |
| popey | well, there's your answer DJones ^ | 13:28 |
| DJones | Cheers, I;m going walking the dog in the woods in the next few minutes | 13:28 |
| DJones | Hopfully that should sort it | 13:29 |
| daftykins | hehe, that's the default message isn't it? XD | 13:30 |
| DJones | Fingers crossed, dog walking time, if they ask anywhere, as long as the connection is stable, please remove the ban | 13:30 |
| DJones | Yep it is | 13:31 |
| DJones | I have a dog staring at me, so not much time to change the mesage | 13:31 |
| daftykins | *nod* was just thinking the guy might get grumpy | 13:32 |
| DJones | Yeah, sent them a pm to explain what happened | 13:36 |

| diddledan | netplan (or nplan as the package is gonna be called) sounds interesting | 14:49 |
| popey | wossat? | 14:50 |
| diddledan | https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/foundations-y-network-yaml | 14:51 |
| diddledan | it was announced on ubuntu-devel earlier : https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2016-July/039464.html | 14:52 |
| * DJones debates whether to try antine as a twitter client, but had doubts since it isn't even in a ppa, github download | 14:53 | |
| DJones | anatine | 14:53 |
| popey | yeah, i looked at making a snap of it | 14:54 |
| DJones | Certainly looks interesting, Ubuntu is missing a decent twitter app at the moment since polly became unsupported | 14:55 |
| diddledan | DJones: I've been using corebird | 14:55 |
| DJones | Best I've found since then is corebird, but that doesn't auto update | 14:55 |
| DJones | diddledan: Have you found anyway to get it to auto update for new messages, without having to click the home button? | 14:56 |
| diddledan | I've not had any problem with it updating - it doesn't scroll to top by default though unless you go into the settings and toggle the autoscroll option | 14:57 |
| DJones | Hmmh, I'll look for that | 14:58 |
| DJones | Can't even find any options for setting | 14:59 |
| popey | i use tweetdeck in a browser window on its own | 15:02 |
| popey | like a webapp | 15:02 |
| diddledan | what can I buy from ebay for at least £30? | 15:04 |
| diddledan | (nectar are offering 10x points if I make a purchase before sunday) | 15:04 |
| popey | you could buy this for me http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RARE-DIGITAL-Model-VT100-AA-COMES-WITH-SELAMAR-GRAPHIC-CARDS-POWERS-ON-/181667429713 | 15:04 |
| diddledan | lol | 15:05 |
| popey | out of your price range? | 15:06 |
| popey | okay, how about this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Various-Artists-Lost-In-Transmission-Chichester-Hospital-Radio-CD-2015-New-/361621986724 | 15:06 |
| daftykins | just had to dodge a quadbike walking down my *pedestrian only* lane home, wat | 15:22 |
| daftykins | guy was taking the lazy route to his insurer that's 2 doors up from me... | 15:32 |
| diddledan | sorted an RMA for my RAMs | 15:56 |
| diddledan | being picked-up on mudnay | 15:56 |
| diddledan | I guess I'll have to be without beast for a couple days until I get replacement modules :-( | 15:57 |
| daftykins | did you pin it down to one module in the end? | 15:58 |
| daftykins | i just posted the 7 year old stuff to the Netherlands just now :) | 15:58 |
| diddledan | \o/ | 15:58 |
| daftykins | £2.84! | 15:58 |
| diddledan | they didn't quibble at all over the return. I guess I described it well-enough that it was obvious there's one wonky module | 15:58 |
| daftykins | what brand is it? | 15:59 |
| diddledan | I think they probably argue less when you ask for a direct replacement, too | 15:59 |
| diddledan | crucial ballistix | 15:59 |
| daftykins | ah i do like crucial stuff, they even give freepost labels eh? | 15:59 |
| diddledan | it's going back to ebuyer 'cos that's where I bought it from | 15:59 |
| daftykins | oic | 15:59 |
| diddledan | they're organising the shipping collection | 16:00 |
| daftykins | ah they can't do that over here because couriers :( | 16:02 |
| diddledan | it's gonna be yodel >.< | 16:02 |
| daftykins | often folks would promise, but nobody would come ;) i think they get stuck at that wet bit south of Southampton... | 16:02 |
| daftykins | or south of Land's End | 16:02 |
| diddledan | ssshh, don't tell anyone but I've been doing c# again: https://github.com/DEVSENSE/Phalanger/pull/59 | 16:20 |
| daftykins | they call 'im the diddler... but occasionally the fixer, too... | 16:53 |
| * popey stabs cm13 | 16:56 | |
| daftykins | :o | 16:56 |
| daftykins | what'd it do? :P | 16:56 |
| popey | install cm13, add sd card to "internal storage" which encrypts the sd card | 16:56 |
| popey | which is all fine | 16:56 |
| popey | try and update cm13, it fails because it saves the zip then reboots to recovery, which can't see the encrypted sd card | 16:57 |
| daftykins | oof. | 16:58 |
| daftykins | though i think they refer to the device / being a good spot for that very reason | 16:58 |
| popey | sadly their update tool doesnt save there | 16:59 |
| daftykins | looks like folks are using workarounds by manually moving it, which isn't ideal! | 17:02 |
| popey | indeed | 17:03 |
| popey | and I can't even make the directory i need to move it to | 17:03 |
| popey | looks like i need some root shennanigans | 17:03 |
| popey | such a mess | 17:03 |
| daftykins | does the SD card become *actual* /sdcard, or a folder beneath that? | 17:03 |
| daftykins | https://www.reddit.com/r/cyanogenmod/comments/3yrsuk/updating_cm_with_sd_as_internal_storage/ | 17:04 |
| daftykins | https://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/120600-cannot-update-cm-13-after-mounting-sd-card-as-internal-storage/ | 17:04 |
| daftykins | dates aren't great but those folk speak of ways and means | 17:04 |
| popey | yeah, i can't make /data/foo | 17:04 |
| popey | need to become root somehow | 17:04 |
| * popey fiddles | 17:04 | |
| daftykins | sorry, i didn't read in enough detail :( | 17:05 |
| diddledan | popey: if only someone would put normal linux on one | 17:05 |
| diddledan | s/one/a phone/ | 17:05 |
| * popey shakes fist at cloud | 17:06 | |
| daftykins | what are the benefits to SD card integration? | 17:06 |
| diddledan | moar storage | 17:06 |
| daftykins | nah but making it part of the internal and encrypting it, why those? | 17:06 |
| diddledan | android doesn't like putting apps on the sd | 17:06 |
| daftykins | yeah it's never a good move | 17:06 |
| popey | the benefit is more space | 17:07 |
| popey | basically | 17:07 |
| diddledan | so to fix that bug they join the two togetehr | 17:07 |
| popey | in older versions you can move apps to the sd card | 17:07 |
| daftykins | is it because it's a low capacity device, like an 8GB? | 17:07 |
| popey | but when you update in play store, they move back | 17:07 |
| popey | 16GB | 17:07 |
| daftykins | mm i came up against lots of apps that refused last time i played with that | 17:07 |
| popey | yeah, I'd rather not have to keep moving them | 17:08 |
| popey | hence switching to cm13 so I can just say "have at it" and give it the entire 64GB SD card | 17:08 |
| popey | which works fine, no slowdown | 17:08 |
| popey | just OTA is busted | 17:08 |
| daftykins | *nod* | 17:08 |
| popey | so I think what I'll do is manually get the zip from the website and push it over adb | 17:08 |
| daftykins | you must install a lot of stuff! | 17:08 |
| popey | when in recovery | 17:08 |
| popey | not really | 17:08 |
| popey | a few chunky games | 17:09 |
| popey | i take a fair few photos and videos with it | 17:09 |
| daftykins | ah did they not go onto the SD by default, before it was integrated? | 17:09 |
| popey | you can choose to put them on sd, sure | 17:10 |
| * diddledan blows chunks | 17:10 | |
| popey | but the thing still got full | 17:10 |
| diddledan | what does that phrase mean "blow chunks"? | 17:10 |
| daftykins | wat | 17:10 |
| daftykins | something a product does because it's inferior, in my experience | 17:10 |
| popey | hence why I moved stuff to sd card | 17:10 |
| popey | diddledan: puke | 17:10 |
| diddledan | aah | 17:11 |
| daftykins | (inferior due to bad design / what have you) | 17:11 |
| popey | ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ | 17:11 |
| daftykins | my friends wife brought me her HTC One M8 today that wasn't charging or doing anything for her over in England, they tried a few chargers... took it to a local shop and got told there was nothing to be done (it's a sealed battery type model) | 17:12 |
| daftykins | anyway hands it to me, i pop it on a 2A tablet charger i have here, light came on - then a couple of minutes passed and the very low battery sign came up - charged all fine XD | 17:12 |
| daftykins | she now thinks i have a special touch | 17:12 |
| daftykins | i think it just sensed the room has been where many a thing gets cracked open with no mercy | 17:13 |
| popey | we used to get a lot of nexus 4's in that state when first developing ubuntu touch on it | 17:14 |
| popey | the standard advice was "plug it into a decent charger and leave it alone for hours" | 17:14 |
| popey | eventually they'd all wake up | 17:14 |
| diddledan | I remember that issue hitting the mailing list often | 17:14 |
| daftykins | ah yeah, cheaply sold? | 17:14 |
| popey | yeah | 17:14 |
| popey | no, just drained below zero | 17:14 |
| popey | and we had no alert or system for shutting down | 17:14 |
| daftykins | i mean for you to get them, though | 17:14 |
| popey | so it would drain to nothing | 17:15 |
| diddledan | I think the galaxy nexus had the same problem | 17:15 |
| popey | oh, no, we bought them new | 17:15 |
| daftykins | oic | 17:15 |
| popey | back when nexus 4 was the thing | 17:15 |
| diddledan | 3-generations ago | 17:16 |
| popey | time flies like a brick doesn't | 17:16 |
| diddledan | 4 when the next ones drop in a month or so | 17:16 |
| daftykins | still got mine here, been abandoned by Google but still holds 2G service in my granite house better than my Nexus 5 does :| | 17:16 |
| daftykins | just don't fancy using it anymore since it's insecure really | 17:17 |
| popey | whooo, installed a terminal and got root | 17:17 |
| daftykins | :) | 17:17 |
| diddledan | flying brick: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LruyfJJT7qY | 17:19 |
| diddledan | saw that movie in the cinema | 17:19 |
| diddledan | loved it | 17:20 |
| diddledan | popey: is there a gif of "got root"? | 17:20 |
| diddledan | https://cdn.meme.am/instances/400x/54088016.jpg | 17:20 |
| daftykins | diddledan: nah this is a flying brick - (volume check) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZD4MaFHsK_w | 17:22 |
| popey | http://i.imgur.com/yLNLvz6.png \o/ | 17:23 |
| diddledan | daftykins: was it really necessary for that uploader to loop the thing for 5 and a half minutes?! | 17:24 |
| daftykins | he tells me he just combined the two and then got all those views which he's not allowed to monetise :( so i'd go with... yes | 17:24 |
| diddledan | two? | 17:25 |
| diddledan | there's only one video there. looped. many many many times. | 17:25 |
| daftykins | yes, video with audio | 17:26 |
| daftykins | not sure which portion he means belongs to someone, maybe both! | 17:26 |
| daftykins | hehe my PhD Physics mate just got the job after his interview in Tokyo, he messaged me "spec me a beast (PC), i've got a job!" | 17:29 |
| diddledan | :-p | 17:37 |
| diddledan | beast, eh | 17:37 |
| daftykins | mmm | 17:37 |
| daftykins | guy always lives on the bread line so i wish he'd at least get one pay packet before splurging XD | 17:38 |
| popey | \o/ updateificated | 17:42 |
| popey | right, time for beer | 17:42 |
| popey | o/ | 17:42 |
| daftykins | enjoy o/ | 17:42 |
| diddledan | did you pontificate? | 17:42 |
| daftykins | yay by chance tonnes of friends that moved away are on the island this weekend \o/ | 17:58 |
| daftykins | hmm that dud RAM was from that blown cap motherboard, perhaps it's not as dead as i thought... | 18:05 |
| zmoylan-pi | zombies, every one panic!! \o/ | 18:05 |
| * daftykins keeps a weapon handy, just in case | 18:06 | |
| diddledan | daftykins: the ram that you've got an RMA for? | 18:08 |
| diddledan | or different one? | 18:08 |
| daftykins | RAM i posted off today came from the mobo with blown caps, yep | 18:11 |
| daftykins | it would stop POST after a power cut, weirdly... yet could be made to work and kicked into life | 18:12 |
| zmoylan-pi | intermittent computers are never to be trusted | 18:13 |
| daftykins | http://imgur.com/a/r1ouC | 18:29 |
| daftykins | well yes sir, that is a given, but when they're only intermittent due to previously undiagnosed faults - they can rise again! | 18:30 |
| zmoylan-pi | oh, i have used a purloined virus infected then cleaned obsolete junker as an email server for 4 years but it was beside my desk so i was on hand in the event it was ever to fail... | 18:34 |
| zmoylan-pi | or a computer that only i could make boot as a novell file server for about the same amount of time. | 18:34 |
| daftykins | :> | 18:37 |
| zmoylan-pi | but as it was a novell server it only needed restarting after power cuts so once a year at most | 18:37 |
| daftykins | i had actually discounted a different board with no cap issues with that wonky RAM in, so that one might be alright again, though it didn't POST with DDR3 in... only DDR2. | 18:37 |
| daftykins | (it has both, it's a rare board) | 18:37 |
| daftykins | well i'll be, blown cap board POSTs first time with different RAM | 18:41 |
| daftykins | that 6 minute memtest! | 18:58 |
| diddledan | apparently someone managed to craft an exploit for the pornhub website | 20:30 |
| diddledan | obviously I'm not going to mention a clickable link for said site. because, you know.. SFW | 20:32 |
| daftykins | and of course you don't know the TLD, never been | 20:33 |
| diddledan | well that's true, too | 20:34 |
| * zmoylan-pi almost wishes i was still working tech support to see who's pc is dragged in infected from this vulnerability... | 21:19 | |
| diddledan | lol | 21:20 |
| diddledan | I get new internets on mudnay | 21:21 |
| diddledan | what's the betting openreach screw it up? | 21:22 |
| zmoylan-pi | been delivered by a man in a bucket at 6am every morning... | 21:22 |
| daftykins | diddledan: what's the change? | 21:34 |
| zmoylan-pi | a bigger bucket... | 21:35 |
| diddledan | moving to aaisp | 21:35 |
| daftykins | ooh | 21:36 |
| daftykins | weird caps | 21:37 |
| diddledan | gotta love these: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbpztC6GHqw | 22:15 |
| daftykins | toilet... in a letterbox... THAT WAS MY HOUSE! | 22:18 |
| daftykins | oh it's a Blue Peter parody! | 22:19 |

| daftykins | i now know, that this was wrong | 22:54 |
| danielthebague | Hi looking to do an upgarde to 16.04.1 LTS and the installer states i have low disk space. i ran apt-get clean, apt-get autoclean, apt-get autoremove and also used ubuntu tweak tool to remove old kernels. also installed and ran bleachbit (as root) to clear old log files, emptied trash too and still i have a low disk space warning. is there a work around can i remove anything else or would a backup and new insta | 23:27 |
| danielthebague | llation be more appropriate in my circumstances? | 23:27 |
| daftykins | show me "dpkg -l | grep linux- | nc termbin.com 9999" | 23:30 |
| daftykins | also "df -i | nc termbin.com 9999" | 23:32 |
| daftykins | can only imagine that guy has me on ignore | 23:37 |
| zmoylan-pi | or is new to irc... | 23:38 |
| daftykins | oh here we go, PM reply now | 23:38 |
| diddledan | ignore it | 23:38 |
| daftykins | hmm? | 23:38 |
| diddledan | the pm | 23:38 |
| daftykins | why | 23:38 |
| diddledan | because it's rude to pm people without asking | 23:38 |
| zmoylan-pi | ^this | 23:39 |
| daftykins | when you're offering them help? don't be ridiculous | 23:39 |
| daftykins | anyway, person said they were going to just clean install - quitters! | 23:39 |
| daftykins | honestly i'm blown away you'd even say that | 23:40 |
| zmoylan-pi | i discourage pming as most of the time it is been done by people who are doing it wrong or are trolling | 23:41 |
| diddledan | people who have a prior relationship are ok to pm, but going into a chatroom you've never been to before and pming the first person to reply is bad netiquette | 23:42 |
| zmoylan-pi | and encouraging bad manners doesn't help the community when more people are /rude/ | 23:43 |
| daftykins | no no, when the guy left the channel, i PM'd *them* because it was as though the advice was missed | 23:43 |
| zmoylan-pi | ah, fair enough | 23:44 |
| daftykins | yeah if they PM i bite them on the nose... hard... | 23:44 |
| diddledan | oic. I figured he came here, asked for help, saw you reply, left the room and pm'd you randomly | 23:44 |
| daftykins | mmm makes sense to me now! | 23:45 |
| diddledan | mmm, cookies | 23:45 |
| daftykins | mmmmm | 23:45 |
| diddledan | not muh cookies! | 23:45 |
| daftykins | mmk i gave this other motherboard another try but nope, it's still properly unreliable | 23:45 |
| zmoylan-pi | just i've seen people wander into irc rooms and then pm anyone who looks active | 23:46 |
| diddledan | http://buffy.wikia.com/wiki/M'Fashnik_Demon | 23:46 |
| daftykins | so the popped cap one is the best so far, it could probably live again if they were replaced | 23:46 |
| diddledan | zmoylan-pi: me too | 23:46 |
| daftykins | yeah, my mistake - i think i was a bit too in my own head thinking "i know i PM'd first..." when i said he replied | 23:46 |
| zmoylan-pi | i saw an interesting blog entry a while back of an engineer sick of wifi ap dying every year or so who removed all the capacitors on a new one and replaced them with good quality ones and the device was going years later | 23:47 |
| * diddledan pets daftykins | 23:47 | |
| * zmoylan-pi pushes the chocolate hobnobs daftykins way | 23:47 | |
| * daftykins is petted | 23:47 | |
| daftykins | d'aww thanks guys! | 23:47 |
| diddledan | mmm nobnobs! | 23:47 |
| daftykins | those are totally a fave of mine | 23:48 |
| diddledan | ditto | 23:48 |
| zmoylan-pi | can't go wrong with hobnobs. lowest common denominator of a good biccie | 23:53 |
| * daftykins mentally labels this mobo 'definitely dead' | 23:54 | |
| zmoylan-pi | i used postage labels and wrote on them with a sharpie to mark hardware. stick it to underside. and date it | 23:55 |
| daftykins | that sounds good | 23:57 |
| daftykins | i definitely always write on the HDDs labels for bad sector ones | 23:57 |
| diddledan | even easier is to break the board in-two | 23:57 |
| diddledan | broken board = broken board | 23:58 |
| daftykins | too much fallout for my little 4 pawed lass to deal with :) | 23:58 |
| diddledan | makes it obvious then | 23:58 |
| daftykins | and future dafty to clean up! | 23:58 |
| diddledan | aww, she koot | 23:58 |
| zmoylan-pi | and if you want the postage label to be easily removeable, stick it to your sleeve 2-3 times as that adds fluff/lint to make it less sticky | 23:58 |
| daftykins | still, i've got three working | 23:59 |
| daftykins | that's pretty ace | 23:59 |
