| knightwise | Morning everyone | 06:55 |
|---|---|---|
| daftykins | hallo \o | 06:56 |
| knightwise | hey daftykins | 07:03 |
| knightwise | how are you man | 07:03 |
| daftykins | not too bad at all thanks! and yourself? got the excitement of a misbehaving Lenovo laptop to look at today | 07:04 |
| knightwise | That sounds annoyng | 07:08 |
| knightwise | I've been pondering what my next laptop is going to be, not looking foward to the new macbooks with their usbCports | 07:09 |
| daftykins | sort of, user claims a crazy touchpad and system freezing when the lid is opened after having been closed (no sleep action configured) | 07:09 |
| daftykins | was it yourself with a Dell XPS13 9350 | 07:09 |
| daftykins | + ? | 07:09 |
| daftykins | 'cause i love mine | 07:09 |
| knightwise | Yep , i have that one :) | 07:10 |
| knightwise | The macbook I use for my company | 07:10 |
| knightwise | I do presentations on it, video editing etc | 07:10 |
| knightwise | The xps runs Ubuntu, | 07:11 |
| daftykins | can't stand Apple myself | 07:11 |
| daftykins | oh, is there not good enough video editing software available? | 07:11 |
| knightwise | daftykins: need it for my company. (I'm a freelance ICT consultant and I do a lot of talks and presentations) | 07:11 |
| knightwise | daftykins: comparing openshot to final cut pro might be stretching it a little | 07:11 |
| daftykins | i've just genuinely never looked, never done video editing and i don't run Linux on the desktop | 07:12 |
| knightwise | Audio editing would be fine on linux , Audacity and some other tools are all I need | 07:15 |
| knightwise | but .. video editing is another thing. | 07:15 |
| knightwise | but its more the presentation workflow | 07:15 |
| knightwise | If i have a machine with only usbC ports is gonna be a hassle to hook it up to projectors and stuff | 07:16 |
| daftykins | yep | 07:16 |
| daftykins | but then you'd have to have a screw loose to buy one | 07:16 |
| daftykins | right now those models are at the "only good for burning early adopters" stage | 07:17 |
| knightwise | true | 07:17 |
| knightwise | I still have a year to go if/when i'm gonna replace it | 07:17 |
| daftykins | how old is your existing model? | 07:18 |
| knightwise | might just replace it with a desktop mac mini and go for somthing different on the mobile site | 07:18 |
| knightwise | mine is just over 2 years | 07:18 |
| knightwise | but after three years its written off for the company so i might need to buy a new one | 07:18 |
| knightwise | not HAVE to but .. | 07:18 |
| knightwise | Definately not gonna buy the first version of a new model | 07:18 |
| daftykins | if you saw the Louis Rossman youtube video, it's better to buy the 2014/15 model apparently | 07:20 |
| daftykins | also, mac minis haven't been refreshed in forever so that'd be a very unwise move | 07:20 |
| daftykins | http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/#Mac | 07:20 |
| knightwise | True, | 07:23 |
| knightwise | but i still have over a year to decide | 07:24 |
| knightwise | so .. i have time | 07:24 |
| daftykins | yarr, rumour has it some more machines are getting announced in the new year | 07:24 |
| knightwise | but the video (i saw it too) did make me wonder what workflows I absolutely HAVE to have on OSX | 07:24 |
| daftykins | heh yeah i would go out of my way to avoid them | 07:24 |
| knightwise | true | 07:35 |
| knightwise | most important workflow right now is Presentations | 07:35 |
| knightwise | Do thoe is keynote | 07:35 |
| knightwise | works fine, looks good , reliable | 07:35 |
| knightwise | openoffice isnt quite there yet | 07:36 |
| Nafallo | morning | 08:33 |
| daftykins | \o | 08:36 |
| brobostigon | morning boys and girls. | 08:43 |
| daftykins | hiya | 08:45 |
| brobostigon | hi daftykins | 08:46 |
| Gargoyle | o/ | 08:47 |
| brobostigon | \o | 08:48 |
| * zmoylan-pi looks forward to a nice hot bowl of porridge on this cold monday... | 08:54 | |
| brobostigon | yes please. | 08:58 |
| knightwise | hmm that sounds nice | 08:59 |
| daftykins | i was thinking my usual cold cereal wasn't cutting it, probably going to nip to 'The Cornish Bakery' this morning to get a nice hot sausage roll instead ;) | 08:59 |
| daftykins | silly folks don't even have their opening times on their site | 08:59 |
| popey | Pain au chocolat here :) | 08:59 |
| daftykins | :O | 09:00 |
| daftykins | my eyes would say yes but my need to lose a few pounds wouldn't ^_^ | 09:00 |
| daftykins | mind you i keep buying crumpets and spreading nutella on them, so i doubt that's going so well... | 09:00 |
| daftykins | Gargoyle: you might want to give SASL auth a go, so you don't join, quit, join to change hostname :> | 09:01 |
| knightwise | Just coffee and an apple over here | 09:03 |
| === davmor2_HOLS is now known as davmor2 | ||
| daftykins | for brekkie!? D: | 09:03 |
| davmor2 | Morning all | 09:03 |
| knightwise | Running a fullscreen Linux VM on my surface pro 4 here :) looks sexy | 09:03 |
| daftykins | just how many machines do you have? :P | 09:04 |
| daftykins | my clients surface pro 4 was exhibiting those sleep issues they've all got and not fixed, not very impressive | 09:04 |
| knightwise | daftykins: 3, SP4, XPS13 and my MPB | 09:04 |
| daftykins | crikey | 09:04 |
| * knightwise is a cross platform geek | 09:05 | |
| daftykins | don't need all 3 to do that though :P | 09:05 |
| diplo | Morning all | 09:05 |
| daftykins | \o | 09:05 |
| daftykins | how goes it diplo? | 09:05 |
| diplo | Not to bad thanks matey, yourself ? | 09:06 |
| knightwise | daftykins: I also need them for my company :)à | 09:06 |
| daftykins | yeah good! early yet though :D | 09:06 |
| daftykins | knightwise: pssh | 09:06 |
| knightwise | SP4 at the client , MBP for freelance work , XPS for fun and learnign | 09:06 |
| knightwise | hey diplo | 09:06 |
| diplo | Been up since 4:30/5 so close to midday here :D | 09:06 |
| daftykins | hehe | 09:06 |
| knightwise | what hot beverage are you havng this morning ? | 09:06 |
| daftykins | well i meant my working day, but i've been up since ~8pm last night XD | 09:07 |
| daftykins | nipping to the bank now, benefits of living on the high street \o | 09:07 |
| diplo | Dear god, how old are you, I couldn't do thwe all nighters anymore! | 09:11 |
| knightwise | daftykins is a vampire | 09:11 |
| knightwise | I just turned 42 .. allnighters no longer an option | 09:11 |
| * brobostigon just made himself a breakfast toastie. | 09:14 | |
| knightwise | hmm.. That sounds nice | 09:15 |
| * knightwise hasnt had breakfast :( | 09:15 | |
| zmoylan-pi | you'd think the partial success they have with surface pro they'd go all out to fix the issues with it | 09:17 |
| knightwise | zmoylan-pi: agreed | 09:17 |
| knightwise | All the hibernate problems are fixed on mine | 09:17 |
| knightwise | so currently its behaving admirably | 09:17 |
| zmoylan-pi | but you hear of all the problems and i'd find myself trusting it less as they continue to happen | 09:18 |
| daftykins | hibernate != sleep | 09:18 |
| zmoylan-pi | 8.7 | 09:19 |
| knightwise | lets say i trust the device for 90% | 09:19 |
| zmoylan-pi | wow, i'd take a hammer to it if i had hardware that unreliable | 09:20 |
| daftykins | local copper and a youngish guy walk along the high street as i'm headed home with my sausage roll... "would you mind helping with a survey about police reporting?" | 09:20 |
| daftykins | i said "yes i would" and carried on home to eat :P | 09:20 |
| zmoylan-pi | they smelt sausage roll and wanted in on the action... :-P | 09:20 |
| daftykins | :D | 09:21 |
| daftykins | the true long arm of the law, pinching food | 09:21 |
| zmoylan-pi | be thankful it wasn't donuts | 09:21 |
| daftykins | oh and NatWest on the high street were having their automatic doors fixed :D | 09:30 |
| daftykins | diplo: well, 31... but i don't plan to finish the day in full :> | 09:30 |
| zmoylan-pi | post brexit, they'll only allow you in if you are wearing bicycle clips and carrying an umbrella? :-) | 09:31 |
| daftykins | well that event didn't do anything to us | 09:31 |
| daftykins | our banks are offshore variants that can't be dealt with in mainland branches - we've been out of the EU this whole time | 09:31 |
| diplo | My kids had just been born then, I guess that was the end of my all nighters (apart from work ) | 09:32 |
| zmoylan-pi | poor tescobank seems to have been hacked | 09:32 |
| daftykins | :o | 09:33 |
| diplo | ut oh, I have tesco bank account! | 09:33 |
| diplo | Although now unused | 09:33 |
| zmoylan-pi | they've disabled their cards as money seems to have gone walkabout | 09:33 |
| daftykins | isn't that a really generic pub chain? ;) | 09:34 |
| diplo | No emails from them about it, just telling me I have payments due in 5 days ( I don't they just send it anyway ) if ($balance == 0 ) dont send mail | 09:35 |
| daftykins | :D | 09:35 |
| zmoylan-pi | http://news.sky.com/story/tesco-freezes-thousands-of-bank-cards-over-fraud-fears-10647549 | 09:37 |
| daftykins | hmm mythbuntu is no more... last 2 devs quit | 09:40 |
| zmoylan-pi | mythtv... a name i haven't heard in a long time... | 09:40 |
| diplo | Haven't used myth for years, didn't realise it was still going | 09:40 |
| diplo | It's a pity Tescos didn't feel the need to get in contact with its custoemrs | 09:40 |
| zmoylan-pi | but that would involve sending them an email, which they've been told they'd never do... #21st century dilemmas | 09:41 |
| daftykins | perhaps they're still rushing around screaming? | 09:42 |
| zmoylan-pi | all those rushing around screaming have been sent to the chicken processing plant... :-P | 09:43 |
| * daftykins spies the cat trying to find new things to claw | 09:43 | |
| knightwise | So who is watching the season finaly for America this week | 09:44 |
| zmoylan-pi | if you don't provide something for the cat to claw, they will make their own arrangements | 09:44 |
| daftykins | ugh i'm sick to death of that country's politics :P | 09:44 |
| daftykins | zmoylan-pi: and then unarrange them ;) | 09:44 |
| daftykins | she doesn't find her actual scratching post all that worthy, as it goes | 09:45 |
| JamesTait | Good morning all! Happy Monday, and happy Hug a Bear Day! 😃 🐻 | 09:55 |
| daftykins | woo \o/ | 09:56 |
| daftykins | although i just saw "The Revenant" (film) the other night and i'm not so sure that's a good idea! :D | 09:57 |
| zmoylan-pi | my favourite was the bear that attacked a japanese pensioner a few years back... ex wwii vet who went all samurai on it... | 09:57 |
| diplo | Just told my mate about the Tescos thing, he reckons the 20k people are on the Tesco Value account and not the Tescos Finest Bank account ,not the same quality! | 10:16 |
| zmoylan-pi | the value accounts only have 1 digit pins or something? :-) | 10:18 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: man now I can't get the huggy bear walking down the street bowm chigga bowmmmm music out of my head | 10:25 |
| SebthreeBQM10HD | hi | 12:19 |
| SebthreeBQM10HD | whos here? | 12:20 |
| zmoylan-pi | no one here but us chickens | 12:20 |
| SebthreeBQM10HD | ok your here at least | 12:20 |
| foobarry | you're | 12:24 |
| foobarry | :P | 12:24 |
| knightwise | Boog | 12:31 |
| popey | Zarro Boogs. | 12:35 |
| zmoylan-pi | would that be from the essex boogs? :-P | 12:37 |
| === alan_g is now known as alan_g|lunch | ||
| foobarry | the worst thing about being fb friends with people in australia are the "bring on the summer" statuses when we're all freezing in UK | 13:39 |
| zmoylan-pi | people down the sea front yesterday buying icecream even if it was 2c... just to keep warm... :-) | 13:41 |
| davmor2 | foobarry: yeah but when they are basking in the sun in the winter we are........wait has the southern hemisphere just stolen all the sun | 13:50 |
| diplo | foobarry: Glad you popped up... what is the Nagios alternative you use? | 13:51 |
| diplo | I want to give it a try | 13:51 |
| diplo | anagios or something? | 13:51 |
| foobarry | adagios, its a wrapper on top of nagios to make it awesome | 13:51 |
| foobarry | it allows editing configs via the webui | 13:51 |
| diplo | Ta, will start a container up now and tinker | 13:51 |
| diplo | That's what I want, the guys in are other office have problems otherwise | 13:51 |
| foobarry | and still allows to see the /nagios underneath at any time (you won't want to) | 13:52 |
| foobarry | pretty vs ugly | 13:52 |
| diplo | Run it on centos ? | 13:52 |
| foobarry | yep | 13:52 |
| foobarry | i have puppet scripts to install it | 13:52 |
| diplo | Ah right, I'm an ansible man so far, keep meaning to try puppet | 13:53 |
| diplo | Cent7 ? | 13:53 |
| davmor2 | diplo, foobarry: Zabbix and munin are two I've heard people in the lug bound around | 13:53 |
| foobarry | our server is on c6 for legacy reasons | 13:53 |
| diplo | Yeah not a fan really, we still have cent4 in paces foobarry :( | 13:54 |
| davmor2 | no idea how good bad or indifferent they are they were just mentioned | 13:54 |
| foobarry | brobostigon: how did the interview go? | 13:54 |
| diplo | I have nagios running / querying 80 of our customer sites, but because its 'hard' people don't use it enough | 13:54 |
| foobarry | adagios should fix most simple config changes e.g. adding new contacts and adding services | 13:55 |
| foobarry | bulk ack'ing of alerts etc | 13:55 |
| foobarry | btw if you use monitoring screens, then nagcon displays your nagios/adagios alerts in a terminal | 13:56 |
| diplo | just setting up the container now and will have installed shortly | 13:56 |
| foobarry | its the best awy to show nagios alerts that i've used/seen | 13:56 |
| diplo | oh right, they had a 42" screen up in our other office for it | 13:57 |
| diplo | god knows what they do now | 13:57 |
| zmoylan-pi | times have moved on, a drone that pokes the person responsible probably :-) | 13:58 |
| diplo | As I say, we don't move on... RH8 and Cent4 servers and 2 x sco servers | 13:59 |

| diplo | Up and running foobarry thanks | 14:26 |
| diplo | Looks good | 14:26 |
| diplo | Imagine installing an OS, installing all packages and a monitoring software in 26 mins even 5 years ago | 14:27 |
| diddledan_ | apparently mythbuntu is no more | 14:31 |
