[12:38] <BluesKaj> Howdy folks
[12:39] <ducasse> wb BluesKaj :)
[12:42] <BluesKaj> Hi ducasse
[12:48] <ducasse> BluesKaj: i'm soon heading out, to look at amps/receivers. need something to play music at home, but very unsure exactly what to get...
[12:50] <BluesKaj> ducasse, you can't go wrong with the less expensive line of higher end brands ...it's the quality you want, not a whole lot o bells and whistles that you'll never need or use. that's my outlook
[12:52] <ducasse> BluesKaj: i kind of agree. right now i'm looking at a very discounted (but still a bit expensive) nad receiver, a smaller denon, and another denon mini-thingy with streaming etc.
[12:54] <BluesKaj> yes ducasse, I think you're on the right track and I'm you'll be happy with any of those
[12:54] <BluesKaj> sure
[12:55] <ducasse> thanks :) think i'll head to the shop and give them a listen. either way it looks like i'll need to set up ubuntu on my pi :)
[12:56] <BluesKaj> i had a NAD AM/FM tuner and it had the best FM station reception of any that I ever owned
[13:04] <ducasse> nad is amazing, but even ~$300 discounted this one is expensive. thinking about whether or not i can justify it, it's a wonderful piece of hardware.
[13:04] <ducasse> btw, fm is shutting down here next year.
[16:38] <lotuspsychje> laters guys ; )
[19:15] <Bashing-om> Here we go again .. we as I join in what yall are up too :)
[19:16] <daftykins> welcome back :)
[19:18] <ducasse> \o daftykins, BluesKaj :)
[19:19] <ducasse> once more into the fray!
[19:19] <daftykins> ^_^
[19:20] <EriC^^> hey Bashing-om daftykins
[19:20] <EriC^^> ducasse:
[19:20] <BluesKaj> not much here, atm just reconfiguring some video addons in kodi
[19:20] <EriC^^> hey BluesKaj
[19:20] <BluesKaj> Hi EriC^^ , daftykins
[19:21]  * daftykins waves :D
[19:22] <BluesKaj> thinking of cutting the Sat TV cord , but wife is still afraid to
[19:25] <BluesKaj> our satellite service isn't very expensive, but Bell Canada just irks me ...
[19:25] <daftykins> cancel all the packages, beef up the tubes and stream all the things :D
[19:26] <BluesKaj> we just have a very basic HD and SD package
[19:27] <Bashing-om> Looks like the gang is all here - lessin Lotus, that is .
[19:27] <BluesKaj> yeah, the internet service will require changing providers
[19:44] <ducasse> any of you use mpd and can recommend clients, both gui and tui?
[19:46] <daftykins> newp (:
[19:46] <ducasse> welp, guess i'll just start in one end of google :)
[19:47] <BluesKaj> I use kodi for all media, now that i have it properly set up
[19:50] <EriC^^> there's ncmpcpp or something
[19:50] <EriC^^> yeah that's it, miraculously
[19:51] <ducasse> EriC^^: thanks, i'll look at that
[19:52] <EriC^^> no problem
[19:53] <ducasse> i think that's the one that was mentioned in #i3 recently
[19:53] <nicomach1s> huh. I didn't know #ubuntu-on-windows existed.
[19:56] <Bashing-om> nicomach1s: Some discussion on ubuwin: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2318965 .
[20:02] <nicomach1s> I want to make a PPA that removes all PPAs on a system.
[20:03] <nicomach1s> just for the irony factor.
[20:05] <daftykins> that used to be true because the PPA purge util people spoke of in #ubuntu was... in a PPA
[20:05] <daftykins> 8D
[20:06] <nicomach1s> which is why I thought about it.
[20:13] <ducasse> ppa-purge should be installed by default on desktop systems, imho
[20:17] <daftykins> pinkware-purge needs to be in development :)
[20:19] <ducasse> pinkware?
[20:19] <daftykins> users :)
[20:21] <ducasse> plenty alternatives for purging users exist already :)
[20:22] <daftykins> never enough!
[20:22] <ducasse> we should have an orbiting laser cannon...
[20:22] <Bashing-om> #1 way -> sic daftykins in them. LOL
[20:23] <Bashing-om> in/on*
[20:23] <nicomach1s> LOC?
[20:27] <ducasse> we also need - urgently - a device to remotely slap users. i'm sure it would be popular with admins.
[20:35] <nicomach1s> sometimes I just want a mirror to stick in front of users.
[20:36] <nicomach1s> Like, "Look at yourself. Just look at yourself right now."
[20:38] <ducasse> ...and the ability to make them comprehend what they just did/asked
[20:44] <daftykins> it's ok, trolltrace will resolve all of these problems one day
[20:44] <ducasse> :)
[20:45] <ducasse> daftykins: btw, bought play-music-thingy!
[20:45] <daftykins> oooh
[20:45] <daftykins> so it is done?
[20:46] <ducasse> yup, happy-happy-joy-joy!
[20:46] <daftykins> Denon in the end, or?
[20:47] <ducasse> denon. basically just a small amp with a network jack + analog and digital inputs. bought it new for a decent price.
[20:48] <daftykins> https://www.tig.gg/l46086-Marantz-Hi-Fi-separates-.php
[20:48] <daftykins> £100 for a Marantz NR1504
[20:49] <ducasse> "for steaming music"
[20:50] <daftykins> yeah i enjoyed that :D
[20:51] <ducasse> i'm very unsure what that would be, and don't want to think about it :)
[20:51] <daftykins> no HDCP 2.2 but it's a pretty capable unit
[20:53] <ducasse> i just decided to get something nice  when i can afford it, at which point i'll relegate this to a bedroom system. it actually sounds much better than i thought it would, so i'm happy.
[20:54] <daftykins> \o/
[20:54] <daftykins> it'll be interesting to see what the new year brings
[20:55] <ducasse> yup :) so far i'm streaming flac over dlna, which works well. i'll try optical from rpi+usb soundcard tomorrow, too late now.
[20:56] <daftykins> yep can't have all the fun at once!
[20:56] <daftykins> gotta ration it out
[20:58] <ducasse> there are cables _everywhere_ now, i should probably do something about that :)
