[00:07] yep, all they wanna do is talk about their toner [00:22] free assassin's creed 3 on ubisoft's uplay right now, for any gamers [00:27] will it work on my dumb nokia? :-P [00:27] :D [00:32] https://youtu.be/Snh-ufvXWIk [00:33] heh [00:36] g'night \o [00:36] nn [00:41] She's got one of them squeaky singing voices. The kind that sounds like a dog chewing on a toy. [00:42] But the band sounds good. [00:43] lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-x9aJOfW0Nk [05:41] morning guys [08:46] Morning all, anyone own a Xperia E5 ? Need to find a phone for £150~ if anyone has any suggestion, I was getting the p9 lite but ordered failed [09:05] Morning all [09:17] morning all [09:35] Good morning all! Happy Thursday, and happy Pretend To Be A Time Traveler Day! 😃 [09:47] JamesTait: didn't you say that tomorrow? [09:47] JamesTait: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aizCMO-mI1Q and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CYDgezeQas [09:47] there are more mobile internet users in china than there is population in europe [09:57] diddledan: welcome to the world we live where even the street beggers have mobile ;) [10:08] morning boys and girls. [10:16] that's a knife! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-vNo6H5gww [10:51] Morning all [10:52] allo [10:52] really dark this morning [10:52] Yeah, it is here, probably going to rain [10:53] At least I've got no plans on going out today, need a quiet day after yesterdays adventures === PaulW2U_ is now known as PaulW2U [11:56] https://twitter.com/i/moments/806548658346987520 [11:59] if i add module options to by kernel command in grub, do they get remembered on subsequent kernel upgrades? [12:01] yes and no [12:02] it depends how you add it to grub [12:02] if you edit /boot/grub/grub.conf then it'll get lost - the correct way is to edit /etc/default/grub and run `update-grub` [12:03] ta [12:03] need to remember this for later tonight :P [12:03] I think I got the command name right - it's either update-grub or grub-update [12:06] aren't there also config files for modules within the OS? [12:07] in the olden days there used to be an /etc/modprobe.d [12:07] has that gone? [12:07] I don't know whether it's still there or not.. I've not had to force load specific modules in ages [12:09] if the module is necessary for boot and can't be loaded off disk (such as a module for a raid card where the module is saved on the disk that the card controls, causing a catch-22) then it will need to be included in the initrd - in those olden days you'd edit the modprobe config and run mkinitrd [12:47] https://imgur.com/a/uhaYz [13:03] cafe owner knows me so well. asked for bacon sandwich today. not a roll? are you unwell? well yes i am actually [13:30] and then he asked you to pay your account of... :-P [13:34] they only take cash... [13:47] diddledan: is the game over card simply "And what's this button do"? [14:45] hahaha [14:46] so..talktalk routers - do i need to request a firmware update or i just wait? [14:47] one would imagine their support line has all the answers [14:47] probably quite busy given all the issues right now though :) [14:48] * popey hugs openwrt [14:48] i think it's harder to get xDSL routers that can run the open ones, since the chipsets tend to have closed drivers for the transceiver portion [14:49] right, but you don't have to use the wifi in the dsl router [14:49] (which is what I do, switch off wifi and use my own) [14:49] if i wanted to be a bit safer i'd have to run a minimum of 2 boxes, likely 3 [14:49] which is a bit lulzworthy [14:50] * popey looks at his 4 routers :) [14:50] 3 running openwrt [14:50] i've got one of those Huawei HG612s that BT used to put out for their services [14:50] mine is hg633 [14:50] i suspect you're referring to extra ones that are just on WAP duty? [14:51] two do dhcp for two different networks [14:51] one is a bridge [14:51] one network is firewalled off from the rest, so guests can use that [14:51] and not see mah stuff [14:51] mmhmm [14:51] i do like those netgear wndr3700v2 access points [14:52] easy to flash, enough ports, multiple radios. [14:52] N600 tops, eww [14:52] old hat now [14:53] yeah, dunno what I'd choose if I was replacing them [14:53] anything with good specs doesn't seem to moddable [14:55] http://netgear.co.uk/home/products/networking/wifi-routers/R6400.aspx i found this one cheap the other day so put it in for a client to get proper -ac and dual band, but no options for open firmware [15:06] weird to find a router cheaper and better spec than most WAP models :P [15:07] threw it on, updated firmware then disabled DHCP - done \o/ [15:16] I have no issues with my tplinks pretty much all of them can be flashed with both dd-wrt and open-wrt work well last well sit in the corner and do their job nicely thanks :) [15:18] i've had one fail already, they only make very low spec ones too [15:18] Nothing like going ott with antenna http://uk.tp-link.com/products/details/cat-9_Archer-C5400.html [15:18] ugh :P [15:18] those kinds of devices are what folk who are doing it wrong get :P [15:19] "surely i can run my whole property from one box" newp [15:20] daftykins: you can you just need a small bungalow [15:22] For the caravan I use a Huawei http://consumer.huawei.com/uk/home-internet/lte-router/gallery/b310-uk.htm [16:08] how do battery connectors stick to circuit boards? [16:08] solder? [16:08] solder / screws / clips [16:08] the one on my wiimote is unstuck [16:09] Time for a new Wiimote. That'll be about UKP 200. [16:09] its a gold special edition [16:09] Trump Edition? [16:10] my ubiquity unifi-ac-lr is pretty funky for distance. I can sit outside in a car and still get wifi :-p [16:10] claimed distance is 183m [16:13] http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2016/12/internet-of-google-api-change-triggers-epson-printer-revolt/ [16:17] :D [16:24] love the irony: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lq6UtGcGPLM [16:25] ugh NSFL link - it's boringly political [16:25] (not safe for life) [17:44] channel4's on demand service "advert error. we're funded entirely by adverts. you may be running an ad blocker. you can see where we're going here..." [17:44] 4od is terrible [17:44] always has been [17:44] sometimes it will show the adverts *only* and refuse to actually show the programme [17:44] it's low res for a start [17:44] and if you skip forward, you're forced to watch more ads [17:44] it's the worst [17:46] XD [17:47] maybe they just hate FOSS? ;) [18:11] 4od is punishment. i feel dirty watching stuff on it [18:12] most series i have started watching, i have not enjoyed, and stopped soon after due to the adverts pain [18:12] itv are going to a model of paying £4 a month to remove ads if you want [18:13] yay i have fixed my wifi after not realising how chronic it was for maybe 2 years [18:13] :) [18:14] ping time to router now 1ms instead of 500-1000ms [18:14] \o/ [18:14] i don't put up with this at work. strange that i didn't realise at home [18:14] so it was pretty much solely the intel Linux driver in the end? [18:14] yes [18:14] GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash iwlwifi.power_save=N iwldvm.force_cam=Y" [18:15] real shame they've gotten so bad [18:15] ahhh irc is soo responsive [18:15] its quite old machine (3yrs) [18:17] doesn't matter, i think intel adapters have suffered for ages [18:17] well, in Loonix land anyways, where simple things like wifi can't be taken for granted [18:37] daftykins: we're not in kansas anymore [18:37] can't take _anything_ for granted! [18:37] :P [18:38] it's a bit laughable though when you think about it [19:35] * ball shivvers [19:36] mmm chilly over there eh? [19:38] -7C, light snow. [20:00] I don't know what the weather is like here [20:00] * diddledan asks siri [20:00] light rain, 12C [20:03] been old school, i prefer teletext like weather forecasts... :-) http://wttr.in/dublin [20:03] zmoylan-pi: you're safe from nukes! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-38256151 [20:04] nah, we'd all just pop round to relatives in the uk to avoid the problem... [20:04] I like that weather forecast, but the alignments are off [20:06] I should go and do a thing. [20:06] omg, not a thing [20:06] it is too late, the thing is to be done [20:06] bah [20:06] at least it's not a thang as we'd need a banjo to complete it [20:09] and todays commuter hell was brought to you by swans... :-P http://www.newstalk.com/Swans-delay-DART-due-to-cygnet-fault [20:09] cygnet sounds like a hacker chatroom [20:10] worse, it's skynet but run using cygwin D: [20:10] dear god [20:10] at least cygwin can be largely replaced with bash now [20:11] (bash on windows is a terrible name!) [20:11] unless your code now depends on a bug in cygwin to run properly... :-P [20:17] https://hackaday.com/2016/12/08/bitbanging-vga-fits-in-under-1-kb/ [20:18] bit what now? :P [20:19] bit naughties! [20:30] lol: https://twitter.com/Motoma/status/806881670439677953 [20:31] someone must be feeling a bit lysdexic [20:32] think about it closely [20:32] the S stands for security. there is no s [20:32] yes i was and i find it pretty bad :( [20:33] also it was much easier to paste the text than have us load the page ;) [20:33] I didn't want to take credit :-p [20:33] whoever chose the spelling of dyslexia was a cruel cruel person... [20:34] must've been the same smug git that came up with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) [20:34] it should be called "word ronging" [20:34] or the one who made abbreviation such a long word... [20:35] at least the word gullible is stricken from the dictionary [20:44] god speed john glenn... [20:44] rest among the stars *sniff* [20:53] 'From the stars we came. To the stars we return, from now until the end of time.' babylon 5 [20:54] http://www.macrumors.com/2016/12/08/apple-campus-2-inside-look/ [20:54] cult HQ is nearing completion [20:55] * zmoylan-pi thinks of all the huge companies that have these grand projects of new spectacular hqs that implode soon afterwards... [20:57] we can but hope [21:13] shauno would be mad if that happened [21:14] he'd rage join irc? :-P === stas is now known as Guest5777 [21:18] I love that landing on the moon was easier than faking it : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGXTF6bs1IU [21:18] i think the best comment on fake moon landings was by kubricks daughter who said that if anyone knew her father he would have landed ON the moon to shoot them... [21:28] i read there's a competition going on to land 2km away and verify things :) but they can't get closer than 200m [21:28] why land, get into lunar orbit and overfly the site... [21:39] that wouldn't be good enough [21:40] with no atmospehere it wouldn't need much of a lens to see the site adequately [21:49] nothing will ever be good enough [21:50] * zmoylan-pi blows dust of plans for giant trebuchet to fling conspiracy theory nuts AT the landing site... [21:51] google "hologram moon" if you want to rage [21:51] i would have gone with space cannon but jules vernes estate would probably sue for copyright...
