| awilkins | popey, that "Box" thing... spectacularly dumb question, possibly. But how do you get the network cable in? | 08:41 |
| popey | awilkins: no clue, will tell you once it arrives :) | 08:43 |
| awilkins | £60 isn't bad for the bundle though | 08:43 |
| awilkins | Looking at the photo with it's top off there's room by the power cable to feed in a cable I think | 08:44 |
| awilkins | The next-gen 1TB My Passport drive (this is based on the previous generation... probably a good way to clear old stock...) is £57 at my local computronic retailer. | 08:45 |
| awilkins | So £60 for the drive in a niche case, power adapter, and microSD card is pretty good. | 08:46 |
| popey | yeah, that's what got me interested | 08:46 |
| popey | I have a spare pi I can chuck into it, and having played with nextcloud, I know that's something i want on it | 08:46 |
| awilkins | Shame they're not going to sell the case driveless :-) | 08:47 |
| popey | it looks 3d-printable | 08:47 |
| awilkins | Yeah, it ought to be... | 08:47 |
| popey | I mean, someone could make a derivative design | 08:47 |
| popey | it's only two parts | 08:47 |
| popey | with a couple of magnets and screw threads | 08:47 |
| foobarry | epic day yesterday. got to visit force india f1 team HQ at silverstone | 08:47 |
| popey | I'd be happy to measure mine so someone could design it | 08:47 |
| popey | wow | 08:47 |
| popey | bet that was fun | 08:47 |
| foobarry | behind the scenes tour of workshops and simulator etc | 08:48 |
| foobarry | childhood dream realised | 08:48 |
| popey | my father in law would love that | 08:48 |
| popey | he's well into F1 | 08:48 |
| popey | how did you arrange that? | 08:48 |
| brobostigon | morning boys and girls. | 08:51 |
| JamesTait | Good morning all! Happy Friday, and happy Hug A Vegetarian Day! 😃 | 09:04 |
| zmoylan-pi | and use the opportunity to slip some beef jerky in their pocket? :-P | 09:05 |
| foobarry | popey: we are a customer of Univa who make the HPC scheduler software. they sponsor force india and have a sepcial partnership with them. so a kind of exclusive perk really | 09:22 |
| foobarry | got hands on with a car and played with steering wheel etc | 09:22 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: I love vegetarians they make the best meat, beef, lamb, chicken, turkey. I'd say pork and goat too but they are both omnivores | 09:37 |
| davmor2 | :D | 09:38 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Mvs5lWx2uQ | 09:40 |
| popey | foobarry: buttons galore? | 09:45 |
| foobarry | even have a mario kart mushroom button | 09:46 |
| foobarry | to overtake | 09:46 |
| foobarry | steering wheel costs £40k alone. looked quite low tech in a way as it is designed but tactile and visual clarity , not brushed aluminim and tiny leds | 09:47 |
| popey | it's amazing how much money they get to spend on making super fast toys | 09:57 |
| foobarry | the simulator was like imax cinema | 09:58 |
| foobarry | wasn't turned on though | 09:58 |
| davmor2 | popey: and just think what they do with that tech, they go and put it in lorries and then eventually it trickles down to cars | 10:01 |
| Laney | arse | 10:16 |
| Laney | missed my appointment to donate blood | 10:16 |
| foobarry | leave it in a jar outside? | 10:17 |
| Laney | i'll just go to QMC and do a direct person to person donation | 10:18 |
| popey | I used to love giving blood. Free biscuits and tea! | 10:19 |
| Laney | they have those tuc cheese biscuits | 10:27 |
| Laney | yuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy | 10:27 |
| davmor2 | Laney: you know you can buy them they have them in stores and everything ;) | 10:30 |
| * zmoylan-pi wonders if the amount of blood donated in ireland dropped when they stopped offering a pint of guinness | 10:31 | |
| foobarry | maybe yes but the quality have have improved | 10:31 |
| zmoylan-pi | i dunno, problably blood offered now has less iron... | 10:32 |
| zmoylan-pi | easier to ship when you can pick it up with a magnet :-) | 10:32 |
| === dominic_ is now known as dwatkins | ||
| awilkins | The dark colour in Guinness isn't iron afaik | 11:00 |
| awilkins | It's burned malt | 11:00 |
| foobarry | marmite | 11:00 |
| awilkins | All beer has traces of Marmite | 11:00 |
| foobarry | first venture into sainsburys since the meal deal fiasco ends in the most disappointing lunch in ages | 11:43 |
| foobarry | they changed supplier. afwul tasteless munge | 11:44 |
| foobarry | nougat is bootlooping on my touchpad :( | 12:45 |
| diddledan | gotta love a good nuggit | 12:55 |
| foobarry | ah this could be the low battery problem | 12:56 |
| foobarry | bootloops on low batt | 12:56 |
| foobarry | nobody in the office has a real charger | 12:56 |
| foobarry | :( | 12:56 |
| awilkins | Bah, Steam on Linux listed 2 VR apps as working | 13:07 |
| awilkins | Plugged in Vive. Steam asks me if I want to install VR. Get all excited. Doesn't work. | 13:08 |
| diddledan | grr | 13:08 |
| awilkins | IKEv1 VPN on Ubuntu - *arrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhh* | 13:33 |
| awilkins | Ubuntu deprecates OpenSwan and moves to StrongSwan. Hooray. More security, better VPN client. ONLY... i) their NetworkManager GUI has been broken on Xenial for 5 months | 13:34 |
| awilkins | ii) It doesn't support IKEv1 *on purpose* even though the daemon supports it, because "IKEv1 isn't very secure" or words to that effect. | 13:34 |
| awilkins | I applaud the attention to detail in improving security | 13:35 |
| awilkins | I lament the impossibility of connecting to my work VPN without writing a huge config file and disabling or fighting with NetworkManager. | 13:36 |
| awilkins | (or option 3 - use ike-qtgui / ShrewSoft VPN Client which is at least easy to set up, even if it fights with NetworkManager if you let it) | 13:36 |
| piotrbujakowski | Hi. | 18:51 |
| zmoylan-pi | o/ | 19:42 |
| diddledan | https://youtu.be/TsE-Dqok5mY <-- my dad looks far too much like Kenny Everett | 20:04 |
| zmoylan-pi | /me is afraid to click on the link in case it's a cupid stunt... | 20:07 |
| diddledan | I don't know what a cupid stunt is so I guess it's not one of those | 20:12 |
| zmoylan-pi | don't worry it's all in the best possible taste... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O881zyKgBBw | 20:13 |
| diddledan | :-) | 20:19 |
| zmoylan-pi | and if not... we can round them all up, put them in a field, and bomb the... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGMWZJlA0QA | 20:21 |
| foobarry | finally nougat running! | 20:37 |
| foobarry | and...its pretty much same old android | 20:37 |
| zmoylan-pi | then why upgrade? | 20:37 |
| foobarry | i had an old tablet needing a refresh | 20:38 |
| foobarry | speed is quite good | 20:38 |
| foobarry | but no discernable features | 20:39 |
| diddledan | foobarry: you can split screen multiple apps - in portrait mode one app above the other and in landscape mode side-by-side | 20:46 |
| diddledan | foobarry: to do that you hold-down the square icon on the right of the home button | 20:47 |
| diddledan | https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/4l51HGG1/Screenshot_20160923-215702.png | 20:57 |
| diddledan | like that | 20:57 |
| zmoylan-pi | well... this is why i have at least 2 devices on me at all times... :-) | 22:08 |
| zmoylan-pi | so i could be accessing data on one device while working on a document on the other... | 22:09 |
