ducassegood morning all07:25
BluesKajHi all12:49
ducassegood morning BluesKaj - how are things?13:05
BluesKajhi ducasse, ok here, and you?13:06
ducassegood, thanks. ready for the holidays :) reading the capsman docs before getting into setup, but i hate wifi :-/13:07
daftykinso013:38
ducasse\o daftykins13:41
daftykinsgood afty13:42
daftykinswhat's this wifi hatred caused by? :) i mean it's a pretty default state for all, but specifically today? :D13:42
ducassei think it's mainly because i just quit smoking - it's certainly not helping :)13:43
daftykinsooh congrats13:43
ducassethanks, it had to be done sooner or later.13:44
ducassei like capsman, i just don't like the underlying tech. wired ftw.13:44
daftykinsah i had to look that up, surely that's only relevant to a corporate setup13:45
ducassei'm just using it to learn it, since i've got two mikrotik devices anyway.13:46
daftykins*nod*13:46
daftykinsi just heard a radio discussion program about the UK government finding £440 million spare and deciding to help rural folks get broadband with it13:46
ducasseoooh, nice!13:47
daftykinsone person called in and said their village dug a trench themselves for their fiber line, then a company 'b4rn' came in and laid it - sounds kinda neat13:47
daftykinshttps://b4rn.org.uk/ funky13:48
ducassei read about a guy near bergen who laid his own fiber, got a spool from china and paid a local isp to hook him up.13:49
daftykins:D13:49
daftykinsthat'd be tempting, but i remember TJ said there's a lot of regulations involved plus i'd imagine having to ask every person for permission to dig on their land would get old quick13:49
ducassethis was his land -> public -> pole -> isp iirc13:51
ducassehe had to talk to the council, that was about it.13:51
daftykinsmmm that's handy13:52
ducassetransport on a full spool of fiber from china was not cheap, though, and it was a lot of work.13:52
daftykinsi wonder if the island by me has repaired their fiber links yet...13:53
daftykinscan't even look it up as all results speak of New Jersey13:54
ducassemy mother just signed up for fiber, maybe i should rollback 25 years and move into her basement :)13:54
daftykins:D13:57
daftykinsor just put a box there you control ;)13:57
ducasseseedbox? :)13:58
daftykinsanything!13:58
daftykinsare you close enough that regular visits are feasible? :P13:58
ducasseabout 40km. but i've got more bandwidth than she's likely to go for, i just got upgraded to 250mbps because changed pricing.14:00
ducassewhat happened to the island near you that broke their fiber?14:01
daftykinswell everything here carried on as normal but they lost all their links to England - had to shift them all to their routes to France i imagine14:04
ducassehmm. big or small island? smaller often uses microwave, don't they?14:06
daftykinsJersey's a bit bigger than the one i'm on14:08
ducassei've been looking for a new desk, want to fit another screen. found a nice, solid slab of a desk that i'm hoping to pick up next week. just need to organize transport, i don't drive...14:11
daftykinshave you seen those brackets that clamp to one spot on the back of the desk... then arms reach out that have VESA mountings?14:12
daftykinsthat'd be nice to avoid the requirement for desk stands14:12
ducassei've thought about those, but only one of my current screens has a vesa mount.14:13
daftykinsah drat!14:15
daftykinsooh there's a good channel shuffle, 5 removed14:15
ducasseit would be nice, as it would be easier to line screens up edge to edge, but both of my current ones have controls on the right side...14:16

DArqueBishopInteresting.16:10
DArqueBishopI was on Redbubble yesterday because on a whim I was looking for Neuromancer-themed laptop bags.16:10
DArqueBishopI saw some laptop skins that made me wish my laptop wasn't a company-provided one.16:10
nicomachusoh wow, you can even get it in a hoodie, long-sleeve, graphic, whatever...16:11
nicomachusI like this one: https://www.redbubble.com/people/cosmogorilla/works/21144265-obey-sudo?p=mens-graphic-t-shirt&style=mens-graphic-t-shirt&body_color=black16:11
