[10:21] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[10:55] <kvd> Hi hi ^_^
[11:07] <popey> hello
[11:16] <kvd> I love how randomly my client has decided to show up your name in aubergine
[11:16]  * kvd figures out how to blame popey
[11:16] <popey> is that good?
[11:17] <kvd> absolutely wonderful.
[11:17] <popey> :)
[11:17] <kvd> ahem...
[11:17] <kvd> s/blame/praise/
[11:20] <popey> ofc
[12:55] <awilkins> How can I remove or disable pulseaudio devices in the sound prefs?
[12:56] <awilkins> I have a bunch of HDMI audio outputs that are not used but show up as selections whereas all I want is selected outputs on my soundcard + 1 USB output
[12:57] <awilkins> THere used to be a hardware tab in the sound settings that let you do this but AFAICT Gnome removed it because it was useful to someone
[13:01] <daftykins> :D
[13:15] <popey> awilkins: use pavucontrol?
[13:15] <awilkins> Doesn't make the devices disappear in sound prefs
[13:16] <popey> shame
[13:16] <daftykins> so is it solely that you don't want the long list to scroll through?
[13:16] <awilkins> Yes
[13:16] <daftykins> jeez
[13:53] <davmor2> awilkins: take a look at /etc/pulse/default.pa and /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
[13:53] <davmor2> awilkins: don't know if they'll help
[14:21] <diddledan> yoohoo knew of the hack back in 2014! http://www.macrumors.com/2016/11/11/filing-yahoo-aware-hack-2014/
[14:22] <diddledan> methinks the buyout is gonna fall flat
[14:23] <daftykins> nasty
[14:24] <daftykins> although i thought that was widely known
[14:24] <diddledan> there's a note at the bottom of that article that verizon were asking for a 1bn discount, but I'm thinking that might go up
[14:24] <diddledan> it wasn't known, but was suggested
[14:38] <daftykins> i read something on the Tesco Bank one this morning, seems they're not sure on the method yet
[14:59] <m0nkey_> right in the feels.. https://i.reddituploads.com/9c65a99fcdc446b29d4327bbb48af904?fit=max&h=1536&w=1536&s=1124d56624b483332e3ee94674a08160
[15:09] <diddledan> I like the concept behind this; it works for any kind of abusive harassment I would imagine. http://boingboing.net/2016/11/11/how-to-intervene-if-you-witnes.html
[15:20] <daftykins> maybe you could just influence atmospheric attributes such that that guys lightning bolts no longer manifest

[15:35] <daftykins> crikey

[17:36] <daftykins> don't use streaming music services myself, but ouch
[17:41] <zmoylan-pi> thank goodness i don't use ssd's OR spotify... :-P
[17:41] <zmoylan-pi> but wow for abusing users hardware
[17:42] <daftykins> well talk of SSD lifespans is always overblown - and you're the one suffering from not using one :)
[17:43] <zmoylan-pi> i like my blinky leds... :-)
[17:43] <daftykins> huh? were you under the impression that having one stops you from seeing a disk activity LED?
[17:44] <zmoylan-pi> but it wouldn't flash pleasently for a long time if i used ssd!
[17:44] <daftykins> that's the whole point of the benefit!
[17:46] <zmoylan-pi> i'll stick with spinning rust for capacity...
[17:46] <diddledan> and think of all the kids that will never know the joy of hearing the heads jump about the disk?!
[17:47] <daftykins> but you don't need capacity for the OS and software...
[17:47] <zmoylan-pi> it's how i know it's quiet at 3am when i can hear the hard drive in my laptop spinning
[17:47] <daftykins> *sigh* ah well, can lead the horse to water... :D
[17:48] <daftykins> i can hear the cat walk down the stairs at those times!
[17:48] <zmoylan-pi> good luck installing an ssd in a horse :-D
[17:48] <daftykins> hey it's easy, just the PETA folks chasing me to worry about
[17:49] <zmoylan-pi> you should see the threats i got when i installed a full height 5.25" drive in a pony... :-P
[17:50] <daftykins> NEIGH chance they said
[17:57] <zmoylan-pi> well if anyone needs a suit for an interview in run up to christmas... :-P https://www.opposuits.ca/suits/christmas-suits.html
[20:48] <diddledan> dang; http://www.skysports.com/f1/news/12433/10653639/ron-dennis-fighting-for-mclaren-future
[21:17]  * zmoylan-pi resets dumbphone after some data went corrupt... first reset in 3 years... not too bad...
[21:26] <diddledan> :-o
[21:27] <diddledan> corruption is BAD!
[21:44] <zmoylan-pi> thankfully i had a backup file from a few months back.  i also made a backup of the corrupt data and i should be able to extract any missing data from the older backup from the newer one with a little care
[21:50] <zmoylan-pi> but i actually reached for my spare even dumber nokia asha 201 just in case i couldn't make it work and found it had run flat as i left it on and not charging for a few months...
