diddledanright, I've locked-down kibana now so you can't see the url I showed earlier. instead I've got a preliminary graph at https://ubulog.com/02:56
zmoylan-piso a drop in irc or ubuntu or both...03:00
diddledanthe data is still incomplete03:05
diddledanso that may change, but it's an interesting trend that has emerged thus far03:05
zmoylan-pidoubt it will change the overall results much03:07
diddledanso far I've indexed about 67million lines of log. just running a check to see how many there are total03:07
diddledan87,673,24003:10
diddledanso mostly there03:10
diddledantwo-thirds of the way03:11
diddledanthat 87million is the total number of lines03:11
diddledancurrently I've indexed 67,271,021 of those03:12
diddledanthe big tall line above everything else is obviously #ubuntu03:14
diddledanlooks like we peaked message-count in april 0703:14

zmoylan-pithe spawning of all the extra channels in 2010 would split the community and lower the overall totals03:25

knightwi1ehey everyone08:55
davmor2Morning all09:22
Laneywhy do people use speaker phone when walking around in public?09:31
Laneyyou can't hear it properly and they can't hear you, especially when you shout directly into the microphone09:31
Laneybut there must be a reason09:31
Laneywhat is it?09:31
davmor2Laney: so you can tell how important they are cause they got calls and you didn't09:34
LaneyI can see someone doing it out of my window atm09:34
Laneydon't /think/ it is posing09:34
Laneyshe looks like she's having an argument09:35
Laneyalso standing next to a mediumly busy road so it's even harder to hear on speaker09:35
LaneyME NO UNDERSTAND09:35
davmor2Laney: I can't put the real reason on this channel because it contains too many expletives ;)09:37
JamesTaitGood morning all! Happy Tuesday, and happy Minersโ€™ Day! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ09:38
diploMorning all09:43
diploLaney: I know people who won't use the phone against their ear because of cancer scares etc, either use headphones with mic or user speakphone, I see it all the time down this way, think they look and sound ridiculous :)09:44
Laneydiplo: oh GOD that too09:45
Laneyusing those headphones with a microphone and then putting the microphone basically inside your mouth09:45
brobostigonmorning boys and girls.09:45
diploYes, all very frustrating09:50
davmor2JamesTait: I think this is apt for miners https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6A-IoOEPbUs09:52
JamesTaitdavmor2, https://youtu.be/H_AjiDmr_2U would have been fine. ๐Ÿ˜‰09:58
davmor2JamesTait: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfR9iY5y94s let me throw this one at you too :)10:01
daftykinswoo i got a cracker in-app for using android pay! lots of prizes on offer this month11:25
TwistedLucidityNever used Android pay, the very idea gives me the heebies11:40
daftykinswell, it's safer than a contactless card in your wallet.11:40
TwistedLucidityWhat security surrounds it? Are they liable in the same way as credit cards for fraud?11:41
TwistedLuciditydaftykins: Get non-contactless cards; simple11:41
daftykinsit creates a virtual card so the details shared with pay points aren't that of your real card, for one11:41
daftykinsyeah but you can't, my bank for one has told me you won't be able to request non-contactless ones once they start making them11:41
TwistedLucidityTime to get a new bank11:41
daftykinsi'm sure it's how it'll go everywhere in time11:42
daftykinsbest part though, you can just turn NFC off on the phone!11:42

knightwisehmm12:40
knightwisethere seems to be a Raspberry pi version of Teamviewer :)12:40
knightwiseThis opens up a great amount of possibilities12:40
daftykinsit does?12:41
knightwiseI need to set one up as a headless icecast player12:41
davmor2knightwise: you're not after the spammer again are you ;)12:41
knightwiseit needs to bootup and start playing an icecast stream when you plug it in12:42
knightwisedavmor2: the spammer ?12:42
daftykinsbut there are so many more appropriate protocols than a proprietary one like teamviewer for that purpose?12:43
davmor2knightwise: Microsoft is reporting to us that you have very many viruses spammer drop them into a team viewer on the pi12:43
knightwisedaftykins: not if you have to drop the machine behind a router and have no open ports.12:43
daftykinsbut why would you ever knowingly do that?12:44
knightwiseI have to drop off my raspberry pi at a shop in the highstreet where it will be plugged into the pa system12:47
knightwiseThen i will need to go to an icecast stream and stream that from the pi12:47
knightwiseSo i need a way to controll the headless box.12:48
daftykinsoh well nevermind, this scenario skips a lot of the start12:48
ali1234but icecast is just http13:14
Azelphurwow, whatever is spamming freenode is annoying, I literally have 70+ queries open, all spam.13:39
zmoylan-pii stopped having that problem when i changed my nick to one that starts with z... puts me down at bottom of any list...13:41
Azelphurlol13:41
AzelphurSo basically I should /nick Zelphur13:42
diploI don't get any either and I'm only at d13:42
zmoylan-piwhen i display nicks diplo is at bottom of 2nd column of 6 containing 90+ nicks so a 1/3 of the way in13:43
daftykinsAzelphur: zAzelphur! :D13:48

SuperEngineerhmmm14:52
brobostigonsimplest, get a ssh client, :)14:55
daftykinsnot very user friendly if you want to IRC from a phone14:59
brobostigonit works though.15:00
brobostigonespecially with mosh, to compensate for a bad network connection.15:01
davmor2daftykins: do you use irssi?15:01
daftykinsyes, it's not very well matched to SSH clients on android imo15:02
daftykinssince you've got no features for quick nick highlighting and so on, much saner from a native client15:02
davmor2daftykins: have a look I think it is call irssi connect15:02
daftykinsi'm not the one asking so i have no need for this15:02
davmor2SuperEngineer: ^15:03
davmor2daftykins: sorry dude :)15:03

daftykins#linux ?19:59
ballThanks daftykins19:59
daftykins#ubuntu might be a bit more friendly, but noted distro bias19:59
ballHmm... ok.20:00
ballYou know, I might fetch Xubuntu.20:00
ballI remember liking that one when I tried it.20:00

daftykinsah i snagged that earlier23:12
daftykinsdoesn't end on a cliff hanger does it? i heard season 2 will only come in 201823:13
diddledanreally epic finale23:13
diddledanand yes cliff hanger23:13
daftykinswoot! ok now i won't watch ;D23:13
diddledanlol23:13
diddledanit kinda finishes the series off ok but leaves you anticipating the next one rather than leaving you with a guy about to fall but not showing whether he did or not23:14
diddledanit would work as a standalone series where you wish they'd make another if they weren't going to23:14
daftykinsah har23:15
daftykinslinked from another channel - https://www.nngroup.com/articles/computer-skill-levels/23:15
diddledanwow that's bad23:15
zmoylan-pii've answered the phone to these people, it shouldn't be a shock...23:21
zmoylan-piq. what browser are you using? a. excel.23:22
diddledanat least they knew the answer23:23
diddledans/the/an/23:23
diddledanat least they knew an answer23:23
diddledanit may not be correct but at least they had one23:23
zmoylan-pitrue... if you can get them to read text of the screen with 2-3 prompts you can usually get there in the end... but that's not always a given23:23
diddledanit's the folk that complain that the website is down when they're at home and their power is off23:24
diddledancompany website*23:24
daftykinsbut i can't get to it!23:24
zmoylan-pior those that have forgotten the alphabet and don't know what a letter c is...23:24
diddledanzmoylan-pi: it's salty and wet23:24
zmoylan-pii think i've told you of the mate who after finishing a major reconfig over the phone of a dos based pos system needed the customer to type 2 lines 'cd \video' and 'video' and after 30 minutes effort found it was easier to drive there and type it in himself...23:26
daftykinsa truly POS system23:28
diddledanpoint of sale?23:28
daftykins:D23:28
zmoylan-piyeah a dos based video point of sale system... the spec given to the programer fit on a post-it 'videos in/videos out' worst spec ever as that morphed into a 5 year coding marathon that cost the developer his sanity23:31
zmoylan-pipretty much everything he was told would never be required was added at a later stage making all previous code broken23:31
zmoylan-piand adding on tiny features like running sunbed systesm/sales of food and dvds/internet cafe made it a slight challenge...23:32
daftykinsO_O23:34
zmoylan-pihe writes android apps now... it's a pleasent relief...23:35
zmoylan-piit's only java...23:35
zmoylan-pihow hard could that be on multiple random cheap nasty chinese devices?23:36
m0nkey_People. I need a phone. Given the choice between a LG G5 or iPhone SE (64GB), which would you take?23:50
daftykinsdoes it have to be those...23:52
m0nkey_There is also the Moto Z Play23:52
m0nkey_I want a cheap plan and phone. Don't care much for the platform.23:52
daftykinswhat size LG G5 can you get?23:53
daftykinsstorage wise23:53
m0nkey_I think it's 32GB23:53
m0nkey_But I can shove in a SD card23:53
daftykinslooks like the motorola is a fair step down in CPU and loses 1GB RAM compared with the LG G5, but it came out in September vs. the April G5 so it's a bit newer23:54
daftykinsi don't even consider Apple devices because i don't like the companies practices23:55
daftykinsah the LG still has a removable battery though, if you care about that23:55
m0nkey_Yeah, that's a nice legacy feature23:56
daftykinsi'm put off by the 2560x1440 res screen though :/ lot of wasted pixels23:56
diddledanevery pixie is sacred23:56
daftykinswhen you see the default UI scale level it's pretty cringe at times23:57
m0nkey_Meh, I guess specs don't bother me lately.23:59
