[02:10] OerHeks: Central Italy ? what ? [02:10] earthquake [02:11] pope fell out of bed [02:11] http://quakes.globalincidentmap.com/ [02:17] And ratteled the dishes :) . [02:47] Outa here guys , yall have fun without me - 'til I return . [03:45] exit [06:33] morning all [06:33] heya \o how goes it? [06:34] hi daftykins! good, thanks - how are you doing? [06:34] yeah not too bad ta :) sadly got a user claiming i'm being sexist in a help channel though - sigh :( [06:35] think it's one where the questions i'm asking aren't understood, so it's clearly my fault ;) [06:35] urgh, i got jumped on by a troll yesterday. all of a sudden he started sending me these really nasty pm's. [06:36] ah those are nasty [06:36] or the ones that follow for weeks, blech [06:36] the "fans" as i think of them ;) [06:36] :) [06:37] how's the soldering going? [06:37] hehe still not done any more! [06:37] kit is sat there patiently awaiting it though [06:37] but you fixed the caps? [06:37] sure did, though that board, CPU, RAM and heatsink are just sat with no case to go in as-is [06:38] it was more just a "what the hell?" kind of job [06:38] hehe - done plenty of those myself :) [06:39] i think i've found a small bug in the lxc tools, btw [06:40] inside one of my containers it reports 350mb used, while lxc-info says >20gb [06:40] tiny bug! :D [06:40] i asked in #ubuntu-server, but got no response [06:40] crikey that's one memory leak alright [06:40] if real [06:41] 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 [06:42] ah reet [06:42] i'm wondering whether to upgrade lxc to the version in proposed and test again. [06:43] wouldn't hurt! with backed up configs anywho :) [06:43] * ducasse has btrfs snapshots :) [06:43] o: look at you [06:43] this is my 'experimentation' box [06:44] 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] phones only open in 75 mins [06:45] what kind of laptop - xps? [06:45] yep XPS13 9350, i5 model same as mine for £650 - the site also has a 10% off coupon right now [06:46] i took it to a client and showed him it, he held it and was sold immediately XD [06:46] :) [06:46] good deal, too. [06:47] Outlet machines are pretty ace, they're £999 normally i think for this spec [06:47] i'd love one of those, my laptop is an old hp. bit of a wreck, but it works. [06:47] probably a new model soon for the intel kaby lake chips that are sampling now [06:47] :D [06:48] a mate said he'd buy my sandybridge i5 asus, but he hasn't been to get it yet / paid me [06:48] tried to put in an ssd, but it refused to recognize it because of the blacklist. [06:48] 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 [06:49] yes, i've got an image that supposedly works, but i daren't try it until i've got a backup machine [06:50] *nod* [06:50] still blown away by the old graphics card of mine that made 3 different motherboards think their BIOSs had been corrupted [06:51] *boggles* [06:51] that's a new one on me. [06:51] but only if you unplugged the PSU... [06:51] (CMOS batteries were fine) [06:51] also i think that card would still work fine in my skylake desktop [06:52] oh, are you much of a gamer? the new Deus Ex unlocked yesterday :) [06:52] no, i don't game much these days :) i stopped about a decade ago :) [06:52] do you know the series? [06:53] yes, but the only thing i play is civ5. [06:53] :D [06:54] https://www.dropbox.com/sh/js2uyxhshcacs5m/AABH0SHSl18qLZDDz8-rkdz4a?dl=0 [06:54] i just took a few snaps was all [06:55] that's seriously pretty... [06:55] the light in the 2nd snap... [06:56] it already drops down to 45fps in places despite the new monster hardware! [06:56] didn't you have a 1070? [06:56] yep [06:56] wow [06:56] i put everything on max @ 1920x1200 first, it was down to 12fps [06:56] disabled MSAA (12fps was it on 8x) then it became 45+ [06:57] what the hell kind of hardware do they want you to have? [06:57] hehe [06:57] only future folks need apply [06:57] "runs best on cray clusters" [06:58] you can literally say "wow man that PC is cray" [06:58] :) [06:59] i worked for sun norway at one point, we played quake on a sunfire 10000 :) [06:59] that was fun :) [06:59] ooooh you know for fun earlier i tried connecting into my old account at Uni, which i graduated in 2008... still worked O_O [07:00] 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] we had a machine at sun that was for techs to experiment on, that is still running. [07:01] i think one of them adopted it. [07:01] hahaha [07:01] sun guy's son [07:01] it was an e450 until 6 months ago, now it's rhel. [07:02] http://toastytech.com/guis/solcdegeneral.png [07:02] still cringe when i see solaris [07:03] cde wasn't as bad as openwindows, though [07:04] one thing i miss is my old nextstation - that was a cool machine [07:04] hmm skinny looking things [07:05] the gui was just so nice compared to other unix guis [07:06] what games do you play other than deus ex? [07:06] still going on Hitman right now [07:06] put over 36 hours into that one :D [07:06] is that the same series that i played 15+ years ago? [07:06] yep! [07:07] cool :) [07:07] https://www.dropbox.com/sh/rmf79i0o8lv9p0t/AACBdJ5gYlc6vBfvzr1w4GQNa?dl=0 [07:08] looks like it might've been sunblade 100's we had in this one lab at uni [07:08] 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 [07:09] can only imagine the poor people remoting in at the time must've had one character per minute display... [07:09] :) [07:09] seen this? https://www.humblebundle.com/books/joy-of-coding-book-bundle [07:16] ooh my [07:16] not sure how i feel about ebooks though [07:17] i've not learnt anything technical from a book before o0 [07:17] i like paper better, but bought these yesterday. wanted a couple of them, and the price is ok. [07:18] always wanted to learn lisp :) [07:18] 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] like single page inserts for 'keyboard shortcuts in $MS_Office_application version #' [07:19] not very useful, that... [07:19] hmm lets see i filtered as many as i could down to each product but ended up only with 19 for windows 10 [07:20] and a few of those are two copies in different formats [07:20] c'moooon 40 mins 'til phone lines open :P [07:21] hehe, does your client need that machine so badly? :) [07:21] limited number of them? [07:21] well i leave the island on the 8th [07:22] not sure it'll even come in time in fact, but yeah the stock goes quite quickly on the outlet [07:22] but i also have other things to do which also only open at 9am [07:23] ic. they should be able to deliver before then, shouldn't they? [07:24] they tend to dispatch pretty slowly, not sure [07:26] did you see the pcworld article on amd zen? [07:27] 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] i saw the heavily biased 'benchmark' yeah :) [07:27] i still have hopes, though. can't hurt if amd gets it's act together. [07:28] oh it'd be ace if they got back in the game yeah [07:29] aw yiss [07:29] just i saw what their claims are like with their latest graphics card release... and was not impressed [07:29] 32 core cpu :Q_ [07:29] well as the old saying goes, 32 x 0 is not a lot [07:29] ;) [07:30] i like amd [07:30] great multithreaded performance [07:30] i was under the impression even that hasn't compared for some time [07:31] i used to love amd, but i wouldn't buy one today.. [07:31] 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] oh please browsers don't count [07:31] :P [07:31] they do the way i use em [07:32] ben64 32440 40.0 11.2 3431624 1843612 ? Sl Aug18 3407:03 /usr/lib/firefox/firefox [07:32] i have a client who keeps a good 8+ Firefox windows open with 30 tabs in each :( lots of repetition, too [07:33] i've just cleaned up my browser, down to two windows with <10 tabs each. i'm so proud :) [07:33] 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] (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) [07:34] haha [07:34] i have a _serious_ attention span problem, alright? ;) [07:35] :D whenever i've left tabs open overnight i never feel in the mood come the morning XD [07:35] half of my tabs tend to be github projects that look 'interesting' :) [07:35] oooh [07:37] Ben64: i feel like you would benefit from more than one box ;) [07:37] i haven't bought AMD for anyone since the Athlon64 :( [07:37] model name : AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1045T Processor [07:37] works great for me [07:37] looking forward to zen [07:38] you can't say that when you haven't had everything since, though [07:38] need to get a new case too [07:38] sure it works, else you'd have replaced it ;) [07:38] i can say what it works great for me [07:38] only with a tonne of caveats [07:39] like "excluding everything that has been released since which outperforms it..." [07:39] more performance for what [07:39] i'm never waiting on anything [07:40] i find this a strange thing to challenge, so i'm going to leave this one alone, sorry [07:40] cool me too [07:41] 20 mins gogogo! [07:41] 20 mins..? [07:41] waiting for 9am for places i need to call to open [07:42] oh far away places [07:42] nah same timezone [07:42] far away from me [07:42] 18 mins till 1am [07:42] :D [07:42] yep BST here [07:43] just looks like beastmaster to me [07:43] o0 [07:43] from FFXI [07:43] never played any of the franchise [07:43] jobs are abbreviated with 3 letters, BST is beastmaster [07:43] ffxi is the online one [07:43] guessing that's 'british standard time' or something, not 'bullshit time'? [07:43] ducasse: ;) indeed [07:44] now i gotta figure out how to save/load stuff in unity3d [07:44] bleh [07:44] ducasse: oh that's why i'm rushing, the 10% coupon expires at the end of the month [07:45] aaah, i see! that's a good reason. [07:45] i'm on my last week of 250mbps, got it for free over the summer. [07:45] i didn't sleep so i'm slipping a bit :> [07:45] d'aww [07:45] what'll you drop to? [07:45] 150 [07:46] XD [07:46] so i'm not crushed or anything. [07:46] yeah that's definitely not a kick in the teeth [07:46] just can't justify paying for 250. [07:47] i'd love more upload than the 5Mb i have [07:47] i have 20 now, drops to 15. it'd be nice with more. [07:48] 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 [07:49] users are crazy (: [07:49] they have weird expectations some times. [07:53] some guy spamming his new github toy in #ubuntu... [07:53] smells off topic to me ;) [07:55] i can't be bothered to confront him, he'll go away soon enough. have you seen the 'antipsychiatry' spammer? [07:55] that guy is seriously off his meds. 'mossad is remotely monitoring my brain!' [07:56] lol [07:56] nope sounds like a common freenode user though ;) [07:58] less than 12 minutes to go, daftykins :) [07:58] less than 2! [07:59] sorry, misread clock :) [07:59] though you might be more accurate as to when someone would pick up! [07:59] that might be true. [08:00] bit puzzled at the opening hours when they're usually in the east anyway... [08:19] huzzah \o/ [08:19] mission one complete [08:21] laptop ordered? [08:21] yep, amusingly the guy tried the site himself and saw the error :D [08:21] they don't believe me! [08:22] not even after trying it? [08:22] only after :> said he reported it to their website team [08:24] well, job done - even _their_ job :) [08:24] :D [08:24] 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] utterly useless :) [08:25] even worse if you try to report security problems... [08:26] 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 [08:27] yes, some even get reported to authorities. [08:28] figures! [08:29] 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. [08:31] i always poke around in the in flight wifi when i'm bored on a plane [08:38] you might end up with steel bracelets if you do that too much :) [08:39] :D [08:53] another happy customer in #ubuntu, this one even bowed :) [08:55] crikey [08:55] he was so excited to get his hwe upgrade fixed :) [08:56] those things are pretty messy i find [08:56] he was still on the utopic hwe stack... [08:56] XD [08:57] i install from 14.04.1 media and stay on the 3.13 kernel ;) [08:57] i can understand HWE for desktops and newer hardware support, but for my VMs... nope [08:58] different scenario, indeed. he wanted the latest x stack etc. [08:59] *nod* [12:44] Hey all === pavlushka_ is now known as Guest58639 === Guest58639 is now known as pavlushka [16:58] nom nom 24 core Power9 http://www.nextplatform.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/ibm-hot-chips-power9-die.jpg [17:18] wow OerHeks that makes my quadcore i3 look pretty simple :-) [17:19] Not sure the price will be .. [17:21] mucho buckos I'm sure [17:21] i friend recently did a project on a power8, he couldn't manage to load it more than 11% no matter what he did :) [21:52] Hey EriC^^ ; glad to see ya back on . [21:52] hey Bashing-om [21:52] you as well :) [21:53] Let's see what we can learn today, huh ? [21:53] sure [21:54] That is ..... providing we want to go there :)
