davmor2Morning all08:04
brobostigonmorning boys and girls.08:12
bigcalmGood morning peeps :)09:26
BigRedSGood Morning!09:26
diddledanmernign09:36
Seeker`good moaning09:37
JamesTaitGood morning all!  Happy Tuesday, and happy Internauts Day! 😃09:41
BigRedSInternaut? You're making that up09:41
SuperEngineerSounds much like "web designer" - an incorrectness because there was only one "web designer".09:46
SuperEngineer"I'm a web designer"... No!  "I'm a web site builder"... yes [maybe] ;-)09:47
popeybigcalm: car gone yet?09:49
BigRedSyeah, just wikipediad it and in France it just means anybody who uses the Internet09:49
SuperEngineer...and *real* web builders are arachnoid anyway - I'll get my coat now.  ;-)09:49
bigcalmpopey: no :( But I do have a 64gb micro sd card in my opx now..09:50
diddledanI'm a web developer. not a designer, nor a site builder, though I do create sites09:52
diddledannomenclature is difficult09:52
diddledanas is naming things09:52
bigcalmpopey: running everything from the micro sd card - is this something one sets up after installing CM13?09:53
SuperEngineerdiddledan: the first part makes sense [you're a spider],the last part makes it read "I design homes for Wimpey".09:56
SuperEngineerI assume neither are true :-D09:56
diddledanlmao09:56
diddledanI thought wimpy were a fast-food restaurant chain :-p09:56
SuperEngineerlol09:57
SuperEngineer[though some would say Wimpy was a major part of Ubuntu Mate]09:59
bigcalmI enjoyed their bacon rolls when I went to summer school to learn about C (many many many moons ago)09:59
popeybigcalm: yes10:08
popeybigcalm: however, it seems I am using both storages now10:08
bigcalmpopey: interesting10:08
bigcalmI wonder if I should decrypt my phone before moving over to CM10:08
bigcalmNot sure it should make any difference though10:09
popeyi think in some update I have applied, it now sees both storage types10:19
popeyunless it's undone what I did to move everythin to sd10:20
davmor2JamesTait: gotcha covered a song by the internet made popular by the internet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmY8mG4_3j410:21
davmor2JamesTait: it was about as internety as I could get with one song ;)10:24
diddledanI would listen to it but there's a bar steward outside with a mower or something10:26
davmor2JamesTait: although I nearly hit you with this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jofNR_WkoCE but then realised you had it bookmarked already ;) along with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ which you have to admit is made popular by the internauts :)10:26
davmor2JamesTait: equally the last one applies to the internauts too :D10:27
davmor2JamesTait: just had a brainwave https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k07cflKCl-Y&list=PL6E1AC915A0204BC0 and I know you and diddledan will listen to that :)10:29
diddledanooh yeah, now we're talking10:30
diddledanwhy is it that we know how terrible that movie is at depicting computers and such yet we love it so much?10:32
diddledanremember, folks, risc is the future10:34
diddledanyeah, risc is good10:35
davmor2diddledan: more worryingly we know how accurate antitrust is and we don't like it as much as hackers10:35
diddledandavmor2: I guess it's something to do with binary, we're either alive or dead10:37
davmor2diddledan: even though antitrust is also a little far fetched too :D10:37
bigcalmpopey: CM13 is nightly only that I can see. How often do you update? I got a bit tired of doing it so frequently on my SGS510:37
davmor2diddledan: nothing at all to do with a young Angelina Jolie of course though right10:38
diddledanhttps://youtu.be/r3cM5P8tUhc?t=2610:38
diddledanoh no, not at all. not even in a red leather one-piece10:39
* diddledan zones-out10:39
davmor2diddledan: admittedly he does make a really good bad guy :)10:41
diddledanyup10:41
diddledanhe does the inspirational speeches well, too10:41
davmor2popey: look even old films are on about convergence ;)10:43
diddledanoh dear. just got a message from someone at my old job letting me know he's found a bug in a site I helped develop, where the site is spending ~65% of time on a single line of code I wrote11:19
diddledanI failed hard by the sounds11:20
davmor2diddledan: I bet the made changes that caused it ;)11:31
diddledanlol11:34
diddledanhttp://www.thefuntheory.com/12:04
bigcalmpopey: did you have any trouble getting your OPX to show up with adb devices?12:19
diddledanhttp://geography.oii.ox.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/InternetTube_v2-01.png12:23
popeybigcalm: not once I enabled it and used a good cable12:24
diddledanthat's a good map12:25
diddledanshows a lot of south america only has one link out12:25
bigcalmpopey: okay, ta. I shall dig some more12:26
diddledanauso aus only has two links12:26
diddledansame with jpn (surprisingly)12:26
diddledanaus could do with a link to south america methinks12:27
diddledanthat would reduce the latin america's dependency on a single link and improve australia's own redundancy12:28
* diddledan single-handedly solves the internets12:29
bigcalmpopey: the phone to show up with the help of http://bernaerts.dyndns.org/android/339-android-oneplustwo-oneplusx-enable-adb-mtp-detection-ubuntu-trusty12:32
foobarryin spite of CM13 setting saying "wifi always on while sleep", seems not to work :(12:35
=== zmoylan-pi is now known as moggers57
popeybigcalm: all done?13:15
bigcalmWell, it took my entire lunch break, but it's now booting into CM (at least I have the CM logo and expanding circle of the boot screen)13:16
bigcalmNow preparing apps 22 of 11313:16
bigcalmSuccessful I think13:16
popeyneato13:18
popeymy android phone has a notification light. i have no idea what the various flashing lights mean13:19
moggers57it blinks the light to let you know it wants more charging :-)13:21
diddledanblinkin' flashy!13:21
diddledanshed some light on the matter to illuminate the reader13:22
diddledanI'm full of bright ideas like that13:23
moggers57we've all got our blinking, flashing and beeping lights... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1WemnsB98o13:23
diddledangood movie13:24
bigcalmpopey: moving everything over to the sd card was easy enough. Thanks for letting me know about it13:26
popeynp13:27
davmor2moggers57: telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl13:32
moggers57i'm aware of it's existince... :-)13:32
davmor2moggers57: just more blinkenlights13:34
SuperEngineermoggers57 is obviously aware on all channels!  :-D13:34
SuperEngineer[ moggers57 alone will understand that ]13:36
TwistedLucidityI am aware of moggers57 awareness13:38
SuperEngineerlol13:38
moggers57i'm aware that you're aware that i'm aware13:38
* SuperEngineer worries some humans have become cross channel aware... contacts home planet and considers action13:40
moggers57once brexit kicks in cross channel awareness will dip... :-P13:41
SuperEngineerroflmfa13:42
SuperEngineerroflmfo even13:42
SuperEngineerroflmfao even even13:42
SuperEngineer[sorry, recieving instructions from home planet & telling them what they can do with it is distracting]13:43
AzelphurThis new AMD Zen stuff looks interesting... been thinking of upgrading my desktop, might hold off13:54
Azelphur8 core, 16 threads... >:)13:54
ali1234why bother with AMD at this point?13:54
ali1234just buy intel13:54
Azelphurali1234: they claim to be beating out Intel13:55
ali1234yeah right13:55
Azelphurali1234: they've shown a benchmark result too13:55
ali1234so?13:55
ali1234benchmarks are terrible13:55
popeylolMD13:55
ali1234prediction: it will beat an i7 in one specific benchmark, use 600W, and in the real world it will be bottlenecked by terrible memory bus speeds13:56
ali1234you know, like every AMD CPU ever13:56
Azelphurali1234: hope not, I like what AMD is doing in the open source world, really want an excuse to give AMD money13:57
ali1234lol13:57
ali1234you like that they keep stringing everyone along with promises that they are never going to deliver?13:58
Azelphurali1234: lol, there is that possibility :)13:58
ali1234they've been doing it now for 10 years13:58
Azelphurali1234: that said I did find an excuse to buy an AMD 390, it's a tad cheaper than the 1060 and performs about 93% of that in various game benchmarks, but it has twice the RAM and supports crossfire13:58
ali1234>_<13:59
ali1234crossfire is dumb13:59
ali1234should have just bought a 108013:59
Azelphurlol13:59
Azelphurali1234: yea, a 1080 would have literally cost more than the entire budget for the build13:59
Azelphurnot my machine :)13:59
ali1234two 390 costs the same as a 780Ti14:01
ali1234guess which one is better14:01
ali1234for that matter a 980Ti is even cheaper14:02
moggers57ah the joy of not been a pc gamer anymore... :-D14:02
popeypeasant14:03
moggers57i'd like a nice pheasent about now...14:03
popeynom nom14:03
Azelphurali1234: well the point was one 390 now and maybe another one later14:04
Azelphurwhen they are not worth much14:04
diddledanapparently I'm in Scotland. and missing: http://www.falkirkherald.co.uk/our-region/falkirk-district/stenhousemuir/stenhousemuir-man-missing-1-420956814:07
diddledanI hope he's found ok14:07
Azelphurdiddledan: wat14:08
DJonesdiddledan: From the links on the same page you've been found http://www.falkirkherald.co.uk/our-region/falkirk-district/stenhousemuir/missing-man-found-safe-and-sound-1-421003014:09
diddledanyey, go me14:09
moggers57still not a patch on the japanese tourist who was listed as missing and turned up helping search for herself... http://travel.aol.co.uk/2012/08/28/tourist-joins-search-and-rescue-operation-to-find-herself-Iceland/14:10
SuperEngineerOn the subject of "the lost": http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2016/08/pokemon-go-sheds-more-than-10m-users/14:24
SuperEngineer[perhaps they're all in hospital from head on lamp post injuries?]14:25
moggers57they're waiting for the release of a phone that will last all day unaided playing that game?14:32
SuperEngineer:-)14:38
nucc1is it possible to make linux ignore tcp keepalive probes?15:32
nucc1i went as far as to make a small C program where i explicitly set the SO_KEEPALIVE option to 0 on the socket, yet, it still acks when it gets a keepalive packet15:33
nucc1gah. my question answered. keepalives are not a special thing.15:53
daftykinsDeus Ex just unlocked on Steam \o/16:07
bigcalmThat was a very long video16:14
bigcalmI don't need to play it now16:15
daftykinsi thought it was cooling down, yet i find it's 27 deg C here today >_<16:16
daftykinsah har that guy uses bigv16:19
* daftykins used to16:19
bigcalmDigital Ocean made Bytemark terribly expensive16:20
bigcalm!rat16:20
daftykinsyeah i moved16:20
lubotu3rat is The Real Ale Train. A yearly Ubuntu UK loco event to celebrate friends, trains and ale. Saturday 10th September 2016, Hampshire, UK: http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-uk/3350-real-ale-train-2016/16:21
bigcalmIt's a shame as they are nice people at Bytemark16:21
daftykinsyeah, support seemed quite good whilst i was there16:22
ali1234is there an ntp suite in debian that doesn't depend on perl?16:28
diddledanali1234: openntpd doesn't according to the package meta: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.17), init-system-helpers (>= 1.18~), adduser, netbase19:17
ali1234yeah, found it... it doesn't seem to work though19:17
ali1234it doesn't set the clock unless i run it manually.. even though it gets started as a service19:18
diddledanit'll not set the clock directly - it skews the clock to maintain the time over long periods19:18
ali1234that's a problem because the system clock will be set to 1970 at boot19:19
ali1234the regular ntp package handles this okay, but it is 32MB19:19
diddledanit maintains a drift file which records how much the system clock changes over time when compared to upstream19:19
ali1234openntpd is like 10kB or something19:19
diddledanyou want ntpdate to set the clock on boot19:19
ali1234openntpd can do it but only if you supply the right options to it19:20
ali1234i'm not sure if it handles if up/down either19:20
ali1234also the network wont be up at boot19:20
ali1234i guess i'll just have to deal with the 32MB of dependencies19:21
ali1234also i need to figure out some way of creating a wpa_supplicant.conf during boot19:22
daftykinsthis one of those automated devices to send a client use-cases?19:24
diddledanwhy is twitter full of people reposting "omgzor huge bsod!1!" messages?19:24
ali1234yes19:24
daftykinsand it has to be wireless? :(19:24
ali1234yes19:24
ali1234also it runs from a ramdisk19:25
ali1234no changes to the root filesystem = they cant break it19:25
ali1234i don't want to bake their wifi password in though19:25
daftykinswhat type of device is it?19:26
ali1234raspberry pi 319:26
ali1234the application is a "magic mirror"19:26
daftykinsah yeah, my one running picoreplayer uses a similar setup to run the music streamer19:26
daftykinseven has a little web admin where config changes write out then ask to reboot to enact them, as it too runs from RAM19:27
ali1234yeah i can save the config onto the fat partition19:27
ali1234but i need something to restore it at the next boot19:27
ali1234i guess i need to write a systemd unit19:31
daftykinsweird nick21:18
moggers57might have loads of recipies for leg of lamb...21:18
daftykins:D21:19
daftykinsmy my, a nick change!21:19
moggers57to annoy someone in another channel... :-)21:19
daftykinshaha, the nicest of motivations21:19
daftykinsoh my, still 24 deg C outside at 10pm21:20
moggers57i could annoy for ireland at the olympics... and take home platinum... :-D21:20
moggers57not as good as my brother mind, but enough for online trolls and fun and games...21:21
daftykinsremind me to call on your services when #kodi gets another one!21:21
moggers57the best rule is to use the words of the troll against them.  it's funnier that way21:22
SebthreeBQM10HDhi21:56
daftykinslo21:56
SebthreeBQM10HDI  am watching the kind of thing I woudn't normally watch on TV21:57
