daftykinsi'm not entirely convinced i'm not damaged my iron with the way it's gone brown :P10:35
daftykinser *damaging10:35
slickMy wife has had an iron that is brown the whole time I have known her. Since 1996.10:38
daftykinssoldering or of the clothing variety? :)10:38
slickgood point. clothing.10:38
slickha! point!10:39
daftykinsah i'm told it's normal10:39
zmoylan-pii think all irons have plastic components that turn brown from heat... probably trying to poke ocr people to buy new irons10:40
slickI would not be surprised if she did have a soldering iron. Once I told her I thought my alternator was bad in my car and she put in a new one, on the side of the road. She is very handy.10:40
daftykinsstill puzzled at the concept of putting solder on to take items off :)10:42
MooDoohowdy all11:22
Seeker`heya11:22
daftykinsaww look what you did!11:33

davmor2zmoylan-pi: shhhhh11:56
davmor2zmoylan-pi: he might be able to read11:57
davmor2daftykins: it'll be fine don't worry :)11:57

davmor2It's only a flesh wound! Come back here and I'll bite your capacitors off12:01
* zmoylan-pi fires up video app on phone and gets out towel to wipe off blood...12:01
diddledanI wondered at the weekend over whether it would be appropriate for me to admit that I handled my dad's chopper12:24
diddledanI was also coerced into trimming my parents' bushes as a kit12:25
diddledankid*12:25
daftykinsmy my, you ought to be locked up12:26

daftykinslooks like what i'm after, even i recognise the rubycon name too, so perhaps that's a good choice12:29
daftykinsplus the guys in Devon!12:29

diddledandaftykins: memory test is running14:49
daftykins\o/14:49
daftykinsdid you say your new build is all ECC stuffs?14:50
diddledannope that was a different pc with the rcc rams15:13
diddledanit's using my old amd bulldozer15:13
diddledan50% tested, and ok so far15:13
zmoylan-piit's always the last ram stick... :-)15:14
diddledanlol15:14
diddledanzmoylan-pi: hush you15:14
* diddledan shoves fingers in his ears and yells out "I'M NOT LISTENING LA LA LA LA"15:14
diddledanthe question, is whose fingers did I just shove in my ears?15:15
daftykins:D15:17
daftykinsi have an odd one with one of my core 2 quads, it's running prime95 upstairs right now - overnight it failed on one core after 5.5 hours15:18
diddledanoof15:18
diddledansucky nuts15:18
* diddledan wanders-off in search of icey cream15:18
daftykinsit's running again right now just fine though, but small FFTs all fit on-CPU i think15:19
diddledanjust Juan Cornetto!15:21
zmoylan-pilast of the choc ices here, get them while they're hot15:22
diddledanerr15:22
diddledanthey're not supposed to be hot, yaknow15:22
daftykinsthat's one puddle for me, please15:22
zmoylan-pihot as in popular of course15:23
daftykinsnothing worse than a fully melted chocolate bar15:24
diddledan:-(15:24
zmoylan-pibanana sandwiches a few days old... but you drink them anyway... :-D15:24
daftykinswhen you reach for the packet and you feel that lack of resistance at the surface - you know you're gonna have a bad time15:25
daftykinszmoylan-pi: *shudder*15:25
diddledanI wonder how many plugs behind my monitors are actually powering something?15:26
diddledanI've got somewhere around 2 dozen back there15:27
daftykinsheh i had quite a check of all that when i built the new PC15:27
zmoylan-piand 1 laptop... :-)15:27
daftykinsi've still got issues with my pi3 occasionally crackling over the HDMI audio or even stopping briefly here and there btw, need to get in touch with the dev15:27
diddledanwtf did I just watch?! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sF6-UpsxTo15:55
daftykinsi have no idea but i'm not joining you :D15:56
daftykins*closed*15:56
diddledanawww :-(15:56
daftykinssmelled a bit too jesus botherer, couldn't even tell if it was in parody!15:57
davmor2diddledan: in future just stick to cat videos it'll be safer for you15:57
daftykins+115:59
daftykinsgah that machine crapped out again, could be CPU or PSU maybe15:59
diddledanhmm16:05
daftykinsah well, doesn't need to be prime stable :P16:07
daftykinsnot if i keep it!16:07
diddledanhow dirty should I feel for actually thinking Win10 isn't bad16:28
diddledan?16:28
daftykinsnot at all16:29
daftykinsi think it's a great upgrade from 7, the consistency is finally coming together16:29
daftykinsbit embarassed whilst at my folks that i totally forgot to do the upgrades on theirs XD16:29
diddledanlol16:30
diddledanwas that the initial 7-to-10 or the anniversary update-to-10?16:31
daftykins7 to 10 yeah, i never did theirs before the deadline end16:31
diddledanoops16:31
daftykinswhen i fired up their desktop to sort the dreaded inkjet printer though, they'd not installed updates since May - so they don't get used much16:32
daftykinsthere are those articles talking about pretending to be in need of the accessibility version to still get it free, but that's a bit cheeky in my book16:32
diddledanyeah, that's evil doing that if you don't need accessibility bits16:33
daftykinsbut then they are fogeys so i'm sure they'll be after the magnifying glass soon enough ;)16:33
daftykinsmuggins here got the delight of unclogging the black ink cartridge in an Epson XP-4xx16:34
zmoylan-pithat's why the big swiss army knives have a pin in the handle... to unblock tiny holes... :-)16:34
daftykinsthey didn't even seem to be quite like that in their design, i put some window cleaner and distilled water on a piece of kitchen towel and folded it up under the printhead track... before swiping it left and right to settle on there under the black, one more printhead clean operation and it started flowing again16:36
* daftykins enables logging on his pi and watches for evidence17:09
diddledan:-o evidence!17:10
daftykinsok nothing there, so it must be on the HDMI link17:17
daftykinslets disable HDMI CEC for a test17:18
daftykinsnope still fudged, time to talk to the dev!17:40
daftykinsperhaps they're only viable with the DAC add-ons17:40
diddledanyour daily awww: http://i.imgur.com/92iX6.jpg17:42
daftykins"jesus, i... i installed arch"17:45
daftykins"it's ok, it'll all be over..." *asteroid*17:45
diddledanlol17:49
diddledandaftykins: you mean "it'll all be over before you've got it running properly"17:50
daftykinsthat's a given though right? :)17:50
diddledanthe Gentoo equiv is "it'll all be over before you've compiled it"17:50
daftykinshow's the memtest btw?17:50
diddledandone17:50
diddledanit is fine17:50
daftykinsyaaaay17:50
daftykinsan ivybridge build i did for a mate a couple of years back had the RAM go bad within a couple of weeks, i text him how to memtest and we did the RMA remotely (since i'd ordered down to here)17:50
daftykinssuper simples17:51
Laneywhhhhhhhhy is my port forwarding not working19:31
LaneyWAIT19:31
Laneybet my IP changed19:31
daftykinsbut you have a dynamic DNS hostname, right?19:32
daftykinsor if you meant internal IP, that'd only happen if you used something really daft like DHCP reservation, right? :D19:32
Laney"dynamic"19:33
Laneyit's a subdomain that I update whenever this kind of thing happens19:33
Laneyand then forget about 2 years later when it happens again19:33
daftykinswow that's a flawed setup19:33
Laneyand whinge on irc19:33
Laneyand then fix it19:34
Laneyrepeat19:34
daftykinsmy registrar lets you have a client to update dynamic hosts \o/19:34
Laneynot flawed enough for me to put any effort into fixing it19:34
daftykinsdo it for us, Laney!19:34
Laneyjust slap me the next time I moan about it19:35
daftykinsbut that could be years!19:35
daftykinsjust err... tell me your ISP and i'll switch you to a daily renewal :)19:35
Laneyit's that xkcd thing19:36
Laneytime saved vs time spent19:36
Laneyalthough the impact of it today was that I couldn't connect to my desktop while I was working at the library19:37
Laneywhich was actually quite irritating19:37
daftykinsi don't think it's that much work at all19:37
daftykinsit is if you try to get a dynamic DNS updater working on Linux mind you, they're _awful_19:38
LaneyI think dd-wrt actually has something like this19:38
daftykinsyeah most routers to have built-in updaters but they tend to be pretty limited in scope19:39
daftykinss/to/do/19:39
* Laney turns to goop19:39
* Laney slides away19:39

diddledangrr @ getting older. I've started regularly mis-drinking and ending up in a coughing fit20:34
daftykinsdrinking o020:36
daftykinsah like choking yourself20:36
daftykins:D20:36
diddledanyeah, drinking wrong20:38
diddledanyou'd think I'd have mastered it by now20:39
diddledanturns out I'm a moron20:39
daftykinsi find myself moving around and going off balance at times, even on the flat :(20:39
daftykinsbut then i blame it all on my little head braking manoeuvre20:39
diddledanwell at least you stopped yourself20:40
diddledanwould be terrible if you carried-on moving20:40
daftykinsthat's true, i could've landed on Mars20:40
diddledanzacly20:40
diddledanis 4.7 already out now? http://betanews.com/2016/08/07/linux-microsoft-surface-3/20:42
diddledanthat url talks of 4.8 RC1 being touted, but I thought they were still working on 4.7!20:43
daftykinskernel.org seems to suggest 4.7 is stable20:44
diddledanaah, I must have read the release of 4.7 as a prerelease20:46
daftykinshmm someone is suggesting my Onkyo AVR and the Pis are incompatible :P20:59
diddledanwha?21:01
daftykinshttp://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?105018-Announce-piCorePlayer-2-00/page13921:01
daftykinsthis is why i don't like forums, i laid it out all carefully - "let me just guess what you have there"21:02
diddledannice bit of fuzz there - some bands go out of their way to achieve that effect21:04
daftykins:>21:05
daftykinsthat was before the boost option i mention, but it still blanks out like that a lot which for a music player role, is very offputting21:05
daftykinsnow i know i could buy a DAC addon for the Pi but that doubles your per-node price21:05
diddledanI like the "I have an onkyo" .. "do you have an onkyo?"21:06
diddledantalk about missing the bleeding obvious21:06
daftykinsyeah like reading the thread :(21:07
daftykins*post21:07
diddledanhell of a reply to your obvious statement of "I have an onkyo"21:07
diddledan(paraphrase)21:08
daftykins:D21:08
diddledanwhat's the music, anyway? :-p21:09
daftykinsdiddledan: that i think: http://lematos.bandcamp.com21:18
daftykinsmaybe not necessarily that album, but yeah21:19
