Bashing-om | Nighty nite good folks | 04:27 |
ducasse | good morning all | 07:25 |
BluesKaj | Hi all | 12:49 |
ducasse | good morning BluesKaj - how are things? | 13:05 |
BluesKaj | hi ducasse, ok here, and you? | 13:06 |
ducasse | good, thanks. ready for the holidays :) reading the capsman docs before getting into setup, but i hate wifi :-/ | 13:07 |
daftykins | o0 | 13:38 |
ducasse | \o daftykins | 13:41 |
daftykins | good afty | 13:42 |
daftykins | what's this wifi hatred caused by? :) i mean it's a pretty default state for all, but specifically today? :D | 13:42 |
ducasse | i think it's mainly because i just quit smoking - it's certainly not helping :) | 13:43 |
daftykins | ooh congrats | 13:43 |
ducasse | thanks, it had to be done sooner or later. | 13:44 |
ducasse | i like capsman, i just don't like the underlying tech. wired ftw. | 13:44 |
daftykins | ah i had to look that up, surely that's only relevant to a corporate setup | 13:45 |
ducasse | i'm just using it to learn it, since i've got two mikrotik devices anyway. | 13:46 |
daftykins | *nod* | 13:46 |
daftykins | i just heard a radio discussion program about the UK government finding £440 million spare and deciding to help rural folks get broadband with it | 13:46 |
ducasse | oooh, nice! | 13:47 |
daftykins | one 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 neat | 13:47 |
daftykins | https://b4rn.org.uk/ funky | 13:48 |
ducasse | i 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 | :D | 13:49 |
daftykins | that'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 quick | 13:49 |
ducasse | this was his land -> public -> pole -> isp iirc | 13:51 |
ducasse | he had to talk to the council, that was about it. | 13:51 |
daftykins | mmm that's handy | 13:52 |
ducasse | transport on a full spool of fiber from china was not cheap, though, and it was a lot of work. | 13:52 |
daftykins | i wonder if the island by me has repaired their fiber links yet... | 13:53 |
daftykins | can't even look it up as all results speak of New Jersey | 13:54 |
ducasse | my mother just signed up for fiber, maybe i should rollback 25 years and move into her basement :) | 13:54 |
daftykins | :D | 13:57 |
daftykins | or just put a box there you control ;) | 13:57 |
ducasse | seedbox? :) | 13:58 |
daftykins | anything! | 13:58 |
daftykins | are you close enough that regular visits are feasible? :P | 13:58 |
ducasse | about 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 |
ducasse | what happened to the island near you that broke their fiber? | 14:01 |
daftykins | well 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 imagine | 14:04 |
ducasse | hmm. big or small island? smaller often uses microwave, don't they? | 14:06 |
daftykins | Jersey's a bit bigger than the one i'm on | 14:08 |
ducasse | i'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 |
daftykins | have 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 |
daftykins | that'd be nice to avoid the requirement for desk stands | 14:12 |
ducasse | i've thought about those, but only one of my current screens has a vesa mount. | 14:13 |
daftykins | ah drat! | 14:15 |
daftykins | ooh there's a good channel shuffle, 5 removed | 14:15 |
ducasse | it 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 |

DArqueBishop | nicomachus: I kinda want that shirt now. | 15:54 |
daftykins | me too :o | 16:04 |
ducasse | nice :) | 16:06 |
daftykins | aaah i am muchly bored until work is available again :P | 16:07 |
daftykins | i think i need to redevelop the ability to enjoy downtime! | 16:07 |
nicomachus | daftykins: my entire office is basically just waiting for Christmas to get here. I've barely done anything productive this week. | 16:09 |
daftykins | hehe | 16:09 |
nicomachus | here's the shirt: https://www.redbubble.com/people/cosmogorilla/works/21144265-obey-sudo?grid_pos=50&p=t-shirt&style=mens | 16:09 |
daftykins | ooh good man | 16:10 |
nicomachus | $24.80, not bad. | 16:10 |
nicomachus | and lots of colors. | 16:10 |
DArqueBishop | Interesting. | 16:10 |
DArqueBishop | I was on Redbubble yesterday because on a whim I was looking for Neuromancer-themed laptop bags. | 16:10 |
DArqueBishop | I saw some laptop skins that made me wish my laptop wasn't a company-provided one. | 16:10 |
nicomachus | oh wow, you can even get it in a hoodie, long-sleeve, graphic, whatever... | 16:11 |
nicomachus | I 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=black | 16:11 |
