[09:19] <foobarry> sruli: try on reddit?
[09:25] <sruli> you mean post a ad there? never used reddit
[09:28] <SuperMatt> it's no different to posting your ad here
[09:35] <sruli> is there a particular place on reddit? all i see there is news...
[09:48] <foobarry> there are linux, sysadmin, programming subreddits

[10:14] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[10:30] <foobarry> any recommendations for dimmable led bulbs?
[10:52] <zmoylan-pi> a led bulb and a paintball gun... :-P
[10:57] <davmor2> foobarry: hue or smart things I think are the top sellers currently
[11:13] <foobarry> ££
[11:13] <foobarry> wondering waht the amazon basics are like
[11:14] <foobarry> lightbulbs are so expensive for what they are
[11:16] <davmor2> foobarry: led one are but they last for ages
[11:45] <foobarry> anyone tried growing bonsai in an office environment?
[11:45] <foobarry> unsure if its too hot/dry/cold/fluctuating. we don't have air con but radiators
[11:54] <brobostigon> foobarry: a friend on mine, has a bonsai in his study, and the temperature can vary quite abit sometimes, but is generally on the warmer side. and it seems to survive.
[12:13] <foobarry> ta

[13:06] <Seeker`> Because I haven't seen it posted here yet: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/173199
[13:26] <foobarry> nice try theresa
[13:53] <diplo> Wish someone had worded it a little better :/
[14:02] <foobarry> remember the brexit one which was put forward by a brexiteer because he thouht breixt would lose?
[14:02] <foobarry> then all the remain epople signed it
[14:03] <foobarry> https://www.pine64.org/?page_id=3707 why do i think this looks amazing? i already have a laptop
[14:03] <foobarry> i get excited about cheap stuff
[14:03] <foobarry> £89
[14:03] <foobarry> $89
[14:04] <diddledan> foobarry: it is cheap.
[14:04] <diddledan> really cheap
[14:04] <foobarry> but..i have a laptop already
[14:04] <diddledan> lol
[14:04] <foobarry> why do i desire a cheap one?
[14:04] <diddledan> how many pis do you have? :-p
[14:05] <diddledan> those pine64s would be awesome to give to someone who just wants to use the interweb and not much else
[14:05] <diddledan> cheaper than a chromebook!
[14:06] <diddledan> and, dare I say, more libre
[14:14] <foobarry> i have a pi zero
[14:14] <foobarry> but i want a clusterhat thing
[14:15] <foobarry> the pine thing would be great as a vim /git laptop
[14:15] <foobarry> big battery and slow drain due to ARM
[14:20] <foobarry> !There is no way to watch movies on this board due to lack of video drivers on Ubuntu. The only way is using Android.
[14:20] <foobarry> Owner of Pine64 (2GB RAM)!
[14:32] <diddledan> :-o
[14:32] <foobarry> mali i guess
[14:32] <diddledan> no veedeo :-(
[14:32] <foobarry> no acceleration maybe
[14:32] <diddledan> that's sadface
[14:33] <foobarry> he might be wrong..
[14:35] <diddledan> it's still smokey (no smoke without fire) though
[14:35] <diddledan> just hope it's not the magic blue smoke :-p
[14:47] <foobarry> http://www.dhgate.com/product/meizu-mx5-e-4g-lte-unlocked-cell-phone-octa/388548267.html?recinfo=8,103,1#cppd-1-5|null:103:r0705804391
[14:47] <foobarry> seem legit?
[15:57] <popey> not sure I'd buy a flyme meizu
[15:58] <popey> as in... I wouldn't
[16:06] <foobarry> its not flashable with adnroid or ubuntu?
[16:12] <foobarry> https://plus.google.com/+AlanPope/posts/S7gXgc1yKHm this guy reckons its ok :P
[16:12] <foobarry> not that i would spend that much on a plaything
[16:13] <diddledan> lol
[16:13] <diddledan> nice use of words there!
[16:14] <diddledan> gotta love when someone's words contradict other words
[16:14] <diddledan> I'm betting that popey has the best words though
[16:14] <diddledan> everyone tells popey how great his words are. and how big his hands are
[16:14] <popey> hm?
[16:15] <popey> foobarry: nope
[16:15] <diddledan> sorry, I'm rambling Trump quotes now
[16:15] <popey> he flashed a pro 5, you linked to an mx5
[16:15] <foobarry> nurse more pills please
[16:15] <popey> not the same thing
[16:15] <diddledan> aah
[16:15] <diddledan> that'll explain it
[16:15] <diddledan> foobarry: all the pills!
[16:16] <foobarry> is the issue with the phone or the OS?
[16:17] <popey> which issue?
[16:17] <foobarry> "not sure I'd buy a flyme meizu "
[16:17] <popey> multiple reasons
[16:17] <foobarry> meizu pro is adnroid only?
[16:17] <popey> they crank out devices then move on
[16:17] <foobarry> or flyme too
[16:18] <popey> so support is lacking
[16:18] <foobarry> story of my life
[16:18] <popey> i don't know about software updates for flyme os either
[16:18] <popey> at least with OnePlus they seem to update their phones now and then
[16:18] <foobarry> i wouldn't want flyme os, rather thought it was one of the cheaper ubuntu phones
[16:23] <popey> the Meizu Pro 5 is one of the _only_ and most expesive Ubuntu phones
[16:25] <foobarry> i just lost my firefox tabs. restore old session didn't have them. feel lost
[16:25] <diddledan> :-o
[16:26] <diddledan> foobarry: rare occasion to reinvent your life

[16:26] <foobarry> i haven't changed my irc handle for a while
[16:27] <foobarry> then again i haven't said too much incriminating stuff
[16:27] <diddledan> this is the article I was referencing: http://www.theonion.com/article/accidentally-closing-browser-window-23-tabs-open-p-54705
[16:27] <foobarry> a measly 23
[17:20] <ali1234> flymo?
[17:54] <diddledan> who's Noel and why do people only acknowledge him at christmas and then in an OTT manner?
[17:55] <diddledan> it's like we go all year not mentioning him and then suddenly everyone is noel this and noel that
[17:55] <diddledan> of course, my name would be bad without any el
[17:55] <diddledan> I'd be Danie Eweyn
[17:56] <Gargoyle> surely it would be diddedan!?
[17:56] <diddledan> well that too
[17:58] <davmor2> diddledan: Noel he's a bloke from Crinkley Bottom runs a house party and opens boxes
[18:05] <diddledan> I don't want to know about his crinkley bottom!
[18:56] <zmoylan-pi> they're all crinkley bottoms by the time noel is finished with them
[20:14] <ali1234> is it just me or is scanning completely broken on 16.04?
[20:14] <ali1234> i have two 16.04 systems and two scanners and none of them works in any combination

[22:16] <diddledan> ali1234: it's a conspiracy
[22:16] <zmoylan-pi> i knew you were going to say that!
[22:17] <diddledan> the idea is to prevent you from scanning stuff in an attempt to reduce the size of emails
[22:18] <diddledan> the internet is at breaking point, see, so the powers that be are attempting to reduce email traffic to allow the internet to last another 2 weeks
[22:19] <zmoylan-pi> think of the bandwidth if you could enforce a ban on cat videos...
[22:19] <diddledan> yeah but those are too pervasive. there would be outcry if cats were censured
[22:26] <zmoylan-pi> even a netflix like isp cache for cat videos would save a bucket load of bandwidth...
[22:27] <daftykins> diddledan: or it could be Linux working as well as usual
[22:27] <zmoylan-pi> i dunno, i still have scars from scanning in windows...
[22:27] <diddledan> wait, linux doesn't work well?
[22:28] <daftykins> XD
[22:29] <zmoylan-pi> network scanning, multipage scanning, duplex ::eye twitch::

[22:34] <ali1234> diddledan you have been reading too much r/bitcoin

[22:52] <daftykins> finest of streamers \o/
[22:52] <zmoylan-pi> he's disassembling a burrito
[22:52] <zmoylan-pi> one bite at a time
[22:52] <diddledan> the question is, if you're livestreaming publicly, does the NSA still hack into your video separately?
[22:53] <zmoylan-pi> yes, because they can
[22:53] <daftykins> zmoylan-pi: not in nibbles?
[22:53] <diddledan> I like 4bits
[22:54] <diddledan> nibbles ftw
[22:54] <daftykins> :>
[22:54] <zmoylan-pi> taking nibbles from burritos results in core dump
[22:54] <daftykins> oh my, so graphic
[22:54] <diddledan> zmoylan-pi: that's the next morning
[22:55] <zmoylan-pi> no, that's burning in a new system
[23:11] <diddledan> why do apple-written OS service programs cause sandbox violations?!
[23:12] <diddledan> (looking at his dmesg outputs)
[23:13] <zmoylan-pi> pay no attention to the man behind the curtain
