daftykinsthere was a nice looking HP for £260 with a proper 1080p IPS screen, but it was an i3 with 4GB RAM and a 500GB mechanical... could've upgraded it but you have to do full disassembly as they have no underside panel for RAM04:48

daftykinshmm the fancy 65" 4K OLED TV is £100 off because of the sales, need to get that client to buy it D:08:11
ducassethere were some of those gaming chairs quite cheap during friday's sale, they look really comfy. can hardly justify it, though.08:12
daftykinsoh that every twitch person seems to have?08:12
ducassepossibly.08:12
daftykinskinda look like sports car seats08:13
daftykinsif i were a famous streamer i'd refuse them XD08:13
ducasse:)08:13
daftykinsat least i figure the companies give them away08:13
ducassei would think so. cheap advertising.08:14
daftykinsyip08:14
ducassewonder why everything has to be designed to look like alien fighters now, have you seen some of these wifi routers etc?08:19
daftykinshahaha, yeah pretty mad08:19

daftykins=]08:45
ducassethe snow is just about gone noe, so she has decided it's safe to go outside again :)08:47
daftykins\o/08:48
daftykinsless litter tray work is always good08:48
ducasseyep. i guess i could have forced her to go outside at least to do that, but i don't have the heart.08:50
daftykins=]08:51
ducassewow, $92,000 so far... https://holidayhole.com/08:53
ducassedammit, these nazi spammers are back...08:56

daftykins#ubuntu ?08:58
ducasseyep. pretty bad stuff.09:00
daftykinsducasse: did you head out yet?09:50
ducassenot yet09:51
daftykinsknow anything about this? a mate is trying to x forward between his laptop and office desktop at the lab in Japan he works at09:51
daftykinslaptop is CentOS, desktop is ubuntu 16.04 - he gets a seg fault on trying emacs09:51
ducassestrange.09:52
ducassetried emacs here now, just popped up. that was ubuntu -> ubuntu, though. ask him to try 'emacs -nw' to check that emacs itself fires up ok.09:53
daftykinsasking now09:53
daftykinsyep he says that's fine, whatever it means? :D09:58
ducasseit means "run as tui application"10:01
ducassecan he try forwarding something like xterm, see if that works?10:01
daftykinshe reckons 'xclock' works10:01
ducasseodd.10:01
ducassenot sure what to suggest, i would probably see if strace could give me a hint as to why it segfaults...10:03
daftykinsthanks, i'll pass that on :>10:03
daftykinshe'll eventually have a new lab bought laptop to put 16.04 on too10:03
ducassei keep thinking about getting a new laptop myself, but i'll probably  end up just getting more memory for this and use it until the magic smoke departs :)10:05
daftykins:D10:08
ducasselaptops are spensive :(10:09
daftykinsi was so pleased i could get the XPS13 for the £580 i scored it for10:10
daftykinsso good :D dream machine!10:10
ducassei know, but i don't have that kind of money for toys now. that's a good price, though.10:13

ducassehi lotuspsychje :)15:12
lotuspsychjehey ducasse15:55
ducassewhat's up? :)15:56
lotuspsychjeoh nothing much, we just had dinner15:57
lotuspsychjeyesterday i updated the ubuntu box from our friends15:58
lotuspsychjeto xenial15:59
lotuspsychjebut i didnt got rid of the grub 10sec countdown boot15:59
ducassedon't you just set the timeout to 0?16:01
lotuspsychjeyes, it was set to 0, dont understand why it doesnt work16:01
ducasseno clue, but i've seen others have issues with it in #ubuntu16:01
lotuspsychjeoh well, after the 10sec it boots to xenial now16:02
ducasseyou ran update-grub, i assume?16:04
lotuspsychjeyes, didnt changed nothing16:04
ducassestrange.16:05
lotuspsychjelemme check mine holdon16:05
ducasseGRUB_DEFAULT=016:07
lotuspsychjeGRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true16:07
lotuspsychjeGRUB_TIMEOUT=1016:07
ducassethat's all i did16:07
ducassegah, wrong paste16:07
ducasseGRUB_TIMEOUT=016:07
lotuspsychjemine is 10, but i dont have a countdown16:08
lotuspsychjeGRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=016:09
lotuspsychjeshould compare it to their grub16:10
lotuspsychjehttp://askubuntu.com/questions/609431/grub-loader-always-takes-10-seconds16:12
ducasseah, i see. i've commented out all the hidden_timeout stuff16:18
lotuspsychjeyeah cant remember if some line was commenten yesterday or not16:21
lotuspsychjeand how the heck it gets commented?16:21
ducassejust put a # in front16:25
lotuspsychjeyeah, but why does lines get commented without a reson?16:26
lotuspsychjegrub shouldnt timeout like that by default right16:26
ducassei can't remember what the default is16:29
lotuspsychjeme neither16:29
ducassei should probably change my post-install script to save the original config files, now i just copy mine into place16:31
lotuspsychjenewest linux shots: http://www.deviantart.com/browse/all/customization/screenshots/nix/?order=516:49
lotuspsychjenice stuff in there16:52

lotuspsychjeducasse: you got borderless terminal like this on i3? http://www.deviantart.com/art/2016-07-05-10-17-49-61970663817:18
lotuspsychjehi brunch87517:18
ducasselotuspsychje: for certain windows, yes17:20
lotuspsychjecool17:21
ducassei don't use transparency for terminal windows, though - it looks cool but gets annoying17:23
lotuspsychjei set it 50-5017:24
lotuspsychjeand green on black17:24
lotuspsychjebut borderless terminal interests me17:24
lotuspsychjebrb17:25
ducassei have a keybinding to toggle border on/off, because i want them now and then.17:26
ducassei3 also uses the border to indicate where the split will be if you open a new window17:28
lotuspsychjeducasse: cool, whats the packagename of that terminal?17:31
ducassethe wm handles borders, not the terminal.17:31
lotuspsychjeic17:31
lotuspsychje!info i3-sensible-terminal17:33
ubot5`Package i3-sensible-terminal does not exist in xenial17:33
ducassethat's just a script that calls whatever terminal is installed17:40
lotuspsychjeah17:42
ducasseon debianish systems it runs x-terminal-emulator from the alternatives system.17:45
lotuspsychjei see17:45
ducasseoh, first it checks if $TERMINAL is set17:46
lotuspsychjebbl mate, coffee and movies :p17:50
