| Bashing-om | Outa here guys , yall have fun without me - 'til I return . | 02:47 |
| tayto | exit | 03:45 |
| ducasse | morning all | 06:33 |
| daftykins | heya \o how goes it? | 06:33 |
| ducasse | hi daftykins! good, thanks - how are you doing? | 06:34 |
| daftykins | yeah not too bad ta :) sadly got a user claiming i'm being sexist in a help channel though - sigh :( | 06:34 |
| daftykins | think it's one where the questions i'm asking aren't understood, so it's clearly my fault ;) | 06:35 |
| ducasse | urgh, i got jumped on by a troll yesterday. all of a sudden he started sending me these really nasty pm's. | 06:35 |
| daftykins | ah those are nasty | 06:36 |
| daftykins | or the ones that follow for weeks, blech | 06:36 |
| daftykins | the "fans" as i think of them ;) | 06:36 |
| ducasse | :) | 06:36 |
| ducasse | how's the soldering going? | 06:37 |
| daftykins | hehe still not done any more! | 06:37 |
| daftykins | kit is sat there patiently awaiting it though | 06:37 |
| ducasse | but you fixed the caps? | 06:37 |
| daftykins | sure did, though that board, CPU, RAM and heatsink are just sat with no case to go in as-is | 06:37 |
| daftykins | it was more just a "what the hell?" kind of job | 06:38 |
| ducasse | hehe - done plenty of those myself :) | 06:38 |
| ducasse | i think i've found a small bug in the lxc tools, btw | 06:39 |
| ducasse | inside one of my containers it reports 350mb used, while lxc-info says >20gb | 06:40 |
| daftykins | tiny bug! :D | 06:40 |
| ducasse | i asked in #ubuntu-server, but got no response | 06:40 |
| daftykins | crikey that's one memory leak alright | 06:40 |
| daftykins | if real | 06:40 |
| ducasse | the host clearly is not using >20gb, so i'm thinking it may just be something in the code that keeps track of used mem | 06:41 |
| daftykins | ah reet | 06:42 |
| ducasse | i'm wondering whether to upgrade lxc to the version in proposed and test again. | 06:42 |
| daftykins | wouldn't hurt! with backed up configs anywho :) | 06:43 |
| * ducasse has btrfs snapshots :) | 06:43 | |
| daftykins | o: look at you | 06:43 |
| ducasse | this is my 'experimentation' box | 06:43 |
| daftykins | i'm trying to buy this Dell Outlet laptop for a client since i spotted it last night but their site is broken for that one exact item right now XD | 06:44 |
| daftykins | phones only open in 75 mins | 06:44 |
| ducasse | what kind of laptop - xps? | 06:45 |
| daftykins | yep XPS13 9350, i5 model same as mine for £650 - the site also has a 10% off coupon right now | 06:45 |
| daftykins | i took it to a client and showed him it, he held it and was sold immediately XD | 06:46 |
| ducasse | :) | 06:46 |
| ducasse | good deal, too. | 06:46 |
| daftykins | Outlet machines are pretty ace, they're £999 normally i think for this spec | 06:47 |
| ducasse | i'd love one of those, my laptop is an old hp. bit of a wreck, but it works. | 06:47 |
| daftykins | probably a new model soon for the intel kaby lake chips that are sampling now | 06:47 |
| daftykins | :D | 06:47 |
| daftykins | a mate said he'd buy my sandybridge i5 asus, but he hasn't been to get it yet / paid me | 06:48 |
| ducasse | tried to put in an ssd, but it refused to recognize it because of the blacklist. | 06:48 |
| daftykins | oh yeah i remember you said, mindblowing - if they're anything like the IBM/Lenovo ones there are folks out there that write modified BIOSs | 06:48 |
| ducasse | yes, i've got an image that supposedly works, but i daren't try it until i've got a backup machine | 06:49 |
| daftykins | *nod* | 06:50 |
| daftykins | still blown away by the old graphics card of mine that made 3 different motherboards think their BIOSs had been corrupted | 06:50 |
| ducasse | *boggles* | 06:51 |
| ducasse | that's a new one on me. | 06:51 |
| daftykins | but only if you unplugged the PSU... | 06:51 |
| daftykins | (CMOS batteries were fine) | 06:51 |
| daftykins | also i think that card would still work fine in my skylake desktop | 06:51 |
| daftykins | oh, are you much of a gamer? the new Deus Ex unlocked yesterday :) | 06:52 |
| ducasse | no, i don't game much these days :) i stopped about a decade ago :) | 06:52 |
| daftykins | do you know the series? | 06:52 |
| ducasse | yes, but the only thing i play is civ5. | 06:53 |
| daftykins | :D | 06:53 |
| daftykins | https://www.dropbox.com/sh/js2uyxhshcacs5m/AABH0SHSl18qLZDDz8-rkdz4a?dl=0 | 06:54 |
| daftykins | i just took a few snaps was all | 06:54 |
| ducasse | that's seriously pretty... | 06:55 |
| ducasse | the light in the 2nd snap... | 06:55 |
| daftykins | it already drops down to 45fps in places despite the new monster hardware! | 06:56 |
| ducasse | didn't you have a 1070? | 06:56 |
| daftykins | yep | 06:56 |
| ducasse | wow | 06:56 |
| daftykins | i put everything on max @ 1920x1200 first, it was down to 12fps | 06:56 |
| daftykins | disabled MSAA (12fps was it on 8x) then it became 45+ | 06:56 |
| ducasse | what the hell kind of hardware do they want you to have? | 06:57 |
| daftykins | hehe | 06:57 |
| daftykins | only future folks need apply | 06:57 |
| ducasse | "runs best on cray clusters" | 06:57 |
| daftykins | you can literally say "wow man that PC is cray" | 06:58 |
| ducasse | :) | 06:58 |
| ducasse | i worked for sun norway at one point, we played quake on a sunfire 10000 :) | 06:59 |
| ducasse | that was fun :) | 06:59 |
| daftykins | ooooh you know for fun earlier i tried connecting into my old account at Uni, which i graduated in 2008... still worked O_O | 06:59 |
| daftykins | they used to be sun workstations with solaris on, but it appears they've virtualised that one now and it seemed to be RHEL | 07:00 |
| ducasse | we had a machine at sun that was for techs to experiment on, that is still running. | 07:00 |
| ducasse | i think one of them adopted it. | 07:01 |
| daftykins | hahaha | 07:01 |
| daftykins | sun guy's son | 07:01 |
| ducasse | it was an e450 until 6 months ago, now it's rhel. | 07:01 |
| daftykins | http://toastytech.com/guis/solcdegeneral.png | 07:02 |
| daftykins | still cringe when i see solaris | 07:02 |
| ducasse | cde wasn't as bad as openwindows, though | 07:03 |
| ducasse | one thing i miss is my old nextstation - that was a cool machine | 07:04 |
| daftykins | hmm skinny looking things | 07:04 |
| ducasse | the gui was just so nice compared to other unix guis | 07:05 |
| ducasse | what games do you play other than deus ex? | 07:06 |
| daftykins | still going on Hitman right now | 07:06 |
| daftykins | put over 36 hours into that one :D | 07:06 |
| ducasse | is that the same series that i played 15+ years ago? | 07:06 |
| daftykins | yep! | 07:06 |
| ducasse | cool :) | 07:07 |
| daftykins | https://www.dropbox.com/sh/rmf79i0o8lv9p0t/AACBdJ5gYlc6vBfvzr1w4GQNa?dl=0 | 07:07 |
| daftykins | looks like it might've been sunblade 100's we had in this one lab at uni | 07:08 |
| daftykins | cringeworthily slow, i sat on the department SSH gateway once XD a network simulation took 3x longer than a machine that wasn't the gateway | 07:08 |
| daftykins | can only imagine the poor people remoting in at the time must've had one character per minute display... | 07:09 |
| ducasse | :) | 07:09 |
| ducasse | seen this? https://www.humblebundle.com/books/joy-of-coding-book-bundle | 07:09 |
| daftykins | ooh my | 07:16 |
| daftykins | not sure how i feel about ebooks though | 07:16 |
| daftykins | i've not learnt anything technical from a book before o0 | 07:17 |
| ducasse | i like paper better, but bought these yesterday. wanted a couple of them, and the price is ok. | 07:17 |
| ducasse | always wanted to learn lisp :) | 07:18 |
| daftykins | someone linked to some microsoft guy who'd made a huge list of free ones the other day, so i wget them but a lot are rubbish | 07:18 |
| daftykins | like single page inserts for 'keyboard shortcuts in $MS_Office_application version #' | 07:18 |
| ducasse | not very useful, that... | 07:19 |
| daftykins | hmm lets see i filtered as many as i could down to each product but ended up only with 19 for windows 10 | 07:19 |
| daftykins | and a few of those are two copies in different formats | 07:20 |
| daftykins | c'moooon 40 mins 'til phone lines open :P | 07:20 |
| ducasse | hehe, does your client need that machine so badly? :) | 07:21 |
| ducasse | limited number of them? | 07:21 |
| daftykins | well i leave the island on the 8th | 07:21 |
| daftykins | not sure it'll even come in time in fact, but yeah the stock goes quite quickly on the outlet | 07:22 |
| daftykins | but i also have other things to do which also only open at 9am | 07:22 |
| ducasse | ic. they should be able to deliver before then, shouldn't they? | 07:23 |
| daftykins | they tend to dispatch pretty slowly, not sure | 07:24 |
| ducasse | did you see the pcworld article on amd zen? | 07:26 |
| ducasse | http://www.pcworld.com/article/3109327/hardware/let-the-cpu-wars-begin-amd-shows-its-zen-cpu-can-compete-with-intels-best.html | 07:27 |
| daftykins | i saw the heavily biased 'benchmark' yeah :) | 07:27 |
| ducasse | i still have hopes, though. can't hurt if amd gets it's act together. | 07:27 |
| daftykins | oh it'd be ace if they got back in the game yeah | 07:28 |
| Ben64 | aw yiss | 07:29 |
| daftykins | just i saw what their claims are like with their latest graphics card release... and was not impressed | 07:29 |
| Ben64 | 32 core cpu :Q_ | 07:29 |
| daftykins | well as the old saying goes, 32 x 0 is not a lot | 07:29 |
| daftykins | ;) | 07:29 |
| Ben64 | i like amd | 07:30 |
| Ben64 | great multithreaded performance | 07:30 |
| daftykins | i was under the impression even that hasn't compared for some time | 07:30 |
| ducasse | i used to love amd, but i wouldn't buy one today.. | 07:31 |
| Ben64 | usually have two games running 24/7 in wine, firefox with a ton of tabs, chrome with a ton of tabs, mythtv, transcoding, blah blah | 07:31 |
| daftykins | oh please browsers don't count | 07:31 |
| daftykins | :P | 07:31 |
| Ben64 | they do the way i use em | 07:31 |
| Ben64 | ben64 32440 40.0 11.2 3431624 1843612 ? Sl Aug18 3407:03 /usr/lib/firefox/firefox | 07:32 |
| daftykins | i have a client who keeps a good 8+ Firefox windows open with 30 tabs in each :( lots of repetition, too | 07:32 |
| ducasse | i've just cleaned up my browser, down to two windows with <10 tabs each. i'm so proud :) | 07:33 |
| daftykins | he reads the Financial Times website a lot, they used to have this flash advert that would crash it multiple times daily O_O | 07:33 |
| daftykins | (i didn't have an adblocker on his machine because, being a senior user it was easier not to make things non-standard in the past) | 07:33 |
| daftykins | haha | 07:34 |
| ducasse | i have a _serious_ attention span problem, alright? ;) | 07:34 |
| daftykins | :D whenever i've left tabs open overnight i never feel in the mood come the morning XD | 07:35 |
| ducasse | half of my tabs tend to be github projects that look 'interesting' :) | 07:35 |
| daftykins | oooh | 07:35 |
| daftykins | Ben64: i feel like you would benefit from more than one box ;) | 07:37 |
| daftykins | i haven't bought AMD for anyone since the Athlon64 :( | 07:37 |
| Ben64 | model name: AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1045T Processor | 07:37 |
| Ben64 | works great for me | 07:37 |
| Ben64 | looking forward to zen | 07:37 |
| daftykins | you can't say that when you haven't had everything since, though | 07:38 |
| Ben64 | need to get a new case too | 07:38 |
| daftykins | sure it works, else you'd have replaced it ;) | 07:38 |
| Ben64 | i can say what it works great for me | 07:38 |
| daftykins | only with a tonne of caveats | 07:38 |
| daftykins | like "excluding everything that has been released since which outperforms it..." | 07:39 |
| Ben64 | more performance for what | 07:39 |
| Ben64 | i'm never waiting on anything | 07:39 |
| daftykins | i find this a strange thing to challenge, so i'm going to leave this one alone, sorry | 07:40 |
| Ben64 | cool me too | 07:40 |
| daftykins | 20 mins gogogo! | 07:41 |
| Ben64 | 20 mins..? | 07:41 |
| daftykins | waiting for 9am for places i need to call to open | 07:41 |
| Ben64 | oh far away places | 07:42 |
| daftykins | nah same timezone | 07:42 |
| Ben64 | far away from me | 07:42 |
| Ben64 | 18 mins till 1am | 07:42 |
| daftykins | :D | 07:42 |
| daftykins | yep BST here | 07:42 |
| Ben64 | just looks like beastmaster to me | 07:43 |
| daftykins | o0 | 07:43 |
| Ben64 | from FFXI | 07:43 |
| daftykins | never played any of the franchise | 07:43 |
| Ben64 | jobs are abbreviated with 3 letters, BST is beastmaster | 07:43 |
| Ben64 | ffxi is the online one | 07:43 |
| ducasse | guessing that's 'british standard time' or something, not 'bullshit time'? | 07:43 |
| daftykins | ducasse: ;) indeed | 07:43 |
| Ben64 | now i gotta figure out how to save/load stuff in unity3d | 07:44 |
| Ben64 | bleh | 07:44 |
| daftykins | ducasse: oh that's why i'm rushing, the 10% coupon expires at the end of the month | 07:44 |
| ducasse | aaah, i see! that's a good reason. | 07:45 |
| ducasse | i'm on my last week of 250mbps, got it for free over the summer. | 07:45 |
| daftykins | i didn't sleep so i'm slipping a bit :> | 07:45 |
| daftykins | d'aww | 07:45 |
| daftykins | what'll you drop to? | 07:45 |
| ducasse | 150 | 07:45 |
| daftykins | XD | 07:46 |
| ducasse | so i'm not crushed or anything. | 07:46 |
| daftykins | yeah that's definitely not a kick in the teeth | 07:46 |
| ducasse | just can't justify paying for 250. | 07:46 |
| daftykins | i'd love more upload than the 5Mb i have | 07:47 |
| ducasse | i have 20 now, drops to 15. it'd be nice with more. | 07:47 |
| daftykins | mmm, we always get these people in #kodi that want to play video from their home servers on phones or tablets when out and about - naturally most immediately fall at the upload requirement - transcoded or not | 07:48 |
| daftykins | users are crazy (: | 07:49 |
| ducasse | they have weird expectations some times. | 07:49 |
| ducasse | some guy spamming his new github toy in #ubuntu... | 07:53 |
| daftykins | smells off topic to me ;) | 07:53 |
| ducasse | i can't be bothered to confront him, he'll go away soon enough. have you seen the 'antipsychiatry' spammer? | 07:55 |
| ducasse | that guy is seriously off his meds. 'mossad is remotely monitoring my brain!' | 07:55 |
| daftykins | lol | 07:56 |
| daftykins | nope sounds like a common freenode user though ;) | 07:56 |
| ducasse | less than 12 minutes to go, daftykins :) | 07:58 |
| daftykins | less than 2! | 07:58 |
| ducasse | sorry, misread clock :) | 07:59 |
| daftykins | though you might be more accurate as to when someone would pick up! | 07:59 |
| ducasse | that might be true. | 07:59 |
| daftykins | bit puzzled at the opening hours when they're usually in the east anyway... | 08:00 |
| daftykins | huzzah \o/ | 08:19 |
| daftykins | mission one complete | 08:19 |
| ducasse | laptop ordered? | 08:21 |
| daftykins | yep, amusingly the guy tried the site himself and saw the error :D | 08:21 |
| daftykins | they don't believe me! | 08:21 |
| ducasse | not even after trying it? | 08:22 |
| daftykins | only after :> said he reported it to their website team | 08:22 |
| ducasse | well, job done - even _their_ job :) | 08:24 |
| daftykins | :D | 08:24 |
| daftykins | i tried to report a flaw with ebay's UK website a while back, got through 5 different support people but eventually just got blanked | 08:24 |
| daftykins | utterly useless :) | 08:24 |
| ducasse | even worse if you try to report security problems... | 08:25 |
| daftykins | i can sympathise with why those security researchers sometimes have to just publish their findings, they probably try to do the right thing and get the kind of experience i had | 08:26 |
| ducasse | yes, some even get reported to authorities. | 08:27 |
| daftykins | figures! | 08:28 |
| ducasse | i read an article about a guy that found a vuln in the in-flight systems on a plane, the fbi was waiting when they landed. | 08:29 |
| Ben64 | i always poke around in the in flight wifi when i'm bored on a plane | 08:31 |
| ducasse | you might end up with steel bracelets if you do that too much :) | 08:38 |
| daftykins | :D | 08:39 |
| ducasse | another happy customer in #ubuntu, this one even bowed :) | 08:53 |
| daftykins | crikey | 08:55 |
| ducasse | he was so excited to get his hwe upgrade fixed :) | 08:55 |
| daftykins | those things are pretty messy i find | 08:56 |
| ducasse | he was still on the utopic hwe stack... | 08:56 |
| daftykins | XD | 08:56 |
| daftykins | i install from 14.04.1 media and stay on the 3.13 kernel ;) | 08:57 |
| daftykins | i can understand HWE for desktops and newer hardware support, but for my VMs... nope | 08:57 |
| ducasse | different scenario, indeed. he wanted the latest x stack etc. | 08:58 |
| daftykins | *nod* | 08:59 |
| BluesKaj | Hey all | 12:44 |
