[00:10] <diddledan> I've not read it or watched the veedeos yet
[00:34] <diddledan> time for me to snooze now
[00:46] <zmoylan-pi> o/
[02:00] <m0nkey_> I may be considering a new phone soon
[02:01] <m0nkey_> I'm seriously considering the iPhone. Don't hate me.
[03:15] <Myrtti> m0nkey_: We ordered his and her Pixels. they were due to arrive yesterday

[03:21] <m0nkey_> I'd like to buy new toys, but I gotta finish paying for my car first
[03:22] <m0nkey_> I gotta go to bed. G'night all.
[05:49] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[09:11] <JamesTait> Good morning all! Happy Friday, and happy Back To The Future Day! 😃
[09:55] <knightwise> GREAT SCOTT !
[10:18]  * brobostigon does a doc brown hair flinging thing.
[10:38]  * zmoylan-1i wires brobostigon's chair up to a lightning conductor... :-P
[10:39]  * brobostigon makes sure he isnt earthed.
[11:39] <knightwise> Frack
[11:40] <knightwise> MS made me buy a new monitor while all I needed was a new cable.
[11:40]  * knightwise shakes fist at MS Surface pro Firmware writers
[11:40]  * zmoylan-pi hands knightwise a baseball bat and a bus ticket to some ms offices... :-P
[11:41] <diddledan> morning
[11:41] <knightwise> grrr ! stupid firware update. :(
[11:41] <diddledan> :-(
[11:42] <knightwise> Plus side : I know have a 25 inch IPS display from Dell (Supah HQ)
[11:43] <diddledan> \o/
[11:43] <diddledan> I want a super-high-dpi super-huge monitor
[11:43] <knightwise> And you can put it in protrait mode which is cool for those long pesky word documents I have to do for work
[11:43] <diddledan> atm I'm rocking two 24inch standard-dpi monitors
[11:44] <diddledan> annoyingly they're different ratio though, one is 16:9 and the other 16:10
[11:44] <knightwise> thats a bit of a bummer
[11:45] <knightwise> downside with this one is : No built in speakers
[11:45] <diddledan> monitor speakers tend to be naff IME
[11:45]  * zmoylan-pi remembers way back when somecompany made a monitor that rotated 90 degress from portrait to landscape and wonders if they still make them
[11:47] <knightwise> erm .. this monitor does that .. (it "swivels")
[11:48] <zmoylan-pi> http://www.pcworld.com/article/2042888/review-three-widescreen-hd-monitors-that-pivot-from-portrait-to-landscape.html
[11:48] <diddledan> swivel your hips!
[11:49] <zmoylan-pi> good to see the market still accomodates odd usage cases
[11:49] <knightwise> Yup ! thats me !
[11:49] <knightwise> Also love to work that way when I have several terminal windows open
[11:50] <knightwise> Landscape mode is only interesting when you want to watch movies I think.
[11:50] <knightwise> But even for the web , WIDEscreen is ... illogical
[11:51] <zmoylan-pi> i use widescreens as if they were 2 normal 4:3 screens side by side
[11:51] <knightwise> horizonally or vertically ?
[11:51] <zmoylan-pi> horizontal
[11:51] <knightwise> ah , i get your point
[11:51] <knightwise> yeah
[11:51] <knightwise> I have a 29 inch ultrawide and that indeed works well,
[11:52] <knightwise> no more bezel in de middle
[11:52] <zmoylan-pi> i prefer 4:3... for someone with bad eyesight it puts everything in one focal range without readjustment
[11:55] <knightwise> True
[11:55] <knightwise> I never understood the whole widescreen thing. Why did we need all of our laptops to look like cinema theatres ?
[11:56] <zmoylan-pi> super wide screens that are curved could do that but then only one person can use them
[11:57] <diddledan> bbc require you to login before you can watch iplayer now!?!
[12:00] <diddledan> "You’ll soon need to sign in to watch and listen to things on BBC iPlayer and iPlayer Radio. And the same goes for some other parts of the BBC. This is so we can make the BBC more relevant and personal to you." <-- more like you want to DRM us up the wazoo?
[12:01] <foobarry> verify your licence number with your address
[12:01] <diddledan> oh, and probably sell demographic and watching habbits to marketing firms
[12:01] <foobarry> watching hobbits?
[12:02] <foobarry> this is gonna break iplayer_dl
[12:02] <foobarry> get_iplayer
[12:02] <diddledan> yup, I expect so
[12:02] <diddledan> at least in the short term
[12:03] <diddledan> I'm sure the dev will try to work around the login, maybe by integrating login into get_iplayer somehow
[12:12] <diddledan> another branded vulnerability: http://dirtycow.ninja/
[12:12] <BigRedS> there's even a shop!
[12:13] <foobarry> nice prices
[12:13] <BigRedS> haha, yeah, I suspect it's poking fun at the trend for vulnerability branding
[12:16] <diddledan> wow, those are probably pounds that were converted the wrong way
[12:16] <foobarry> popey: you gonna try the dirtycow exploit on hudl2? mine's at home
[12:16] <diddledan> i.e. it should be a few dollars but several thousand pounds
[12:17] <diddledan> gotta love brexit
[12:18] <diddledan> I saw a tweet yesterday that said something like "guy in the question time audience hates all the pessimism over brexit. wants more optimism. difficult considering the self destructive nature of the decision"
[12:19] <diddledan> it's FRIDAY https://twitter.com/MyOneStarWorld/status/789440666459832320
[12:41] <foobarry> has anyone used http://runc.io ?
[12:43] <diddledan> foobarry: that looks interesting

[19:06] <dogmatic69> what is up with the internet today?
[19:07] <brobostigon> dns issues.
[19:07] <dogmatic69> some prat DDOSing the root dns again?
[19:07] <brobostigon> so i have heard,
[19:20] <diddledan> dogmatic69: dyn.com are under attack
[19:40] <daftykins> too busy patching Loonixes to be affected ;)
[19:41] <brobostigon> 12
[19:41] <brobostigon> sorry.
[19:41] <daftykins> a fine number :>
[19:41] <brobostigon>  /win got lost.
[19:42] <daftykins> yay 14.04's 3.13 kernel hit -100 \o/ lets celebrate
[19:45] <brobostigon> 42 is an even finer number, :)
[19:58] <daftykins> that's true, though it would be exploitable in this instance!
[19:58] <daftykins> what with that Dirty CoW about
[20:00] <brobostigon> fair point.
