| brobostigon | morning boys and girls. | 10:19 |
| knightwise | Morning brobostigon | 14:38 |
| knightwise | how are you doing | 14:38 |
| brobostigon | afternoon knightwise, alittle on the cold sign, my eczema could be better, and you? | 14:39 |
| brobostigon | side* | 14:39 |
| knightwise | Doing ok , looking for a simple solution to backup my files to my inlaws | 16:04 |
| knightwise | had google cloud storage for a year with my chromebook and that trail is running out | 16:04 |
| brobostigon | :) :( | 16:08 |
| knightwise | I have a synology nas with this private cloud dropbox like client | 16:09 |
| knightwise | think i'll run that on a remote machine, plop it over there and run local backups | 16:09 |
| knightwise | looks like the simplest solution. | 16:10 |
| knightwise | If I can run mate on my old netbook i'll be able to pull that off | 16:10 |
| brobostigon | i use owncloud on my server for that same job. | 16:10 |
| brobostigon | :) | 16:10 |
| knightwise | yeah , but I dont have a static ip | 16:10 |
| brobostigon | dyndns? | 16:11 |
| knightwise | never syncs up right, plus I would like to have as few open ports on my router as i can | 16:11 |
| brobostigon | ah ok, i havent ever used dyndns. | 16:11 |
| knightwise | I guess I also could use owncloud and some owncloud clients but since i have the synology system running anyway.... | 16:16 |
| knightwise | and i use it quite a lot for our company | 16:16 |
| brobostigon | :) | 16:17 |
| awilkins | I have mum on Syncthing | 16:39 |
| awilkins | Std. Dega-dup backup to a synced folder, linked to my NAS | 16:40 |
| brobostigon | beer o'clock, :) | 16:41 |
| knightwise | awilkins: remote ? | 16:42 |
| awilkins | knightwise, Yup, Syncthing pretty much handles tunnel punching | 16:42 |
| awilkins | Haven't had to fiddle with DNS or port routing | 16:43 |
| awilkins | You just have to copy a big ID value from one to the other | 16:43 |
| knightwise | so ... files on my nas , syncthing on my home server and syncthing on my remote machine ? | 16:43 |
| awilkins | Syncthing where the files are | 16:43 |
| awilkins | Accessible anyway | 16:44 |
| awilkins | If your NAS is too dumb to run syncthing, run it on the sevrer | 16:44 |
| awilkins | Mine has a package of Syncthing (ASUSTOR) | 16:44 |
| knightwise | ah ok | 16:44 |
| knightwise | gonna see if there is one for synology | 16:44 |
| knightwise | there is one but its a little buggy , so i might be better off running it on my server | 16:45 |
| knightwise | upside is I can run in on a raspberry pi | 16:46 |
| awilkins | I like it. Even has an Android build, I'd use it for transferring comic files to my tablet to read. | 16:46 |
| knightwise | hmmm.. starting to sound more and more interesting ! | 16:47 |
| awilkins | If I didn't have close to 10GB of files in Dropbox I'd probably just use that exclusively | 16:48 |
| awilkins | I had mum on Copy.com for cloud backups but they went belly-up | 16:49 |
| awilkins | It needs a wee taskbar applet | 16:49 |
| knightwise | awilkins: does it store those comics offline on your tablet ? | 16:49 |
| awilkins | knightwise, Yup | 16:49 |
| knightwise | ok , gonna give it a try | 16:50 |
| awilkins | Probably good for managing your music collection too | 16:50 |
| awilkins | I wonder how it deals with symlinks | 16:50 |
| * awilkins wonders if you can symlink a bunch of music into a synced folder and have it transferred to your phone | 16:51 | |
| * knightwise *eyes twinkle* | 16:51 | |
| awilkins | My partner works for a music college and they have to transfer audition recordings from China to their file server | 16:53 |
| awilkins | They always have a load of problems because of crap wifi and L-class users | 16:53 |
| awilkins | I said they should use this because it can resume broken connections. Dunno if it tunnels through the great firewall though. | 16:54 |
| awilkins | But def. easy to use | 16:54 |
| awilkins | Just set it up to sync a folder and say to user "Drop file in folder. File go to cloud. Ug." | 16:55 |
| zmoylan-pi | at least no one submits their music in word doc files i suppose... :-P | 17:38 |
| knightwise | I call that "cloud bouncing" | 17:47 |
| knightwise | allows you to do stuff offline (or on a wonky connection) and "bounce" it up to the cloud whenever you have a good connection | 17:47 |
| zmoylan-pi | i sometimes wish someone made a more accessible whisper net like the original kindle had... a low transfer rate, cheap, in the background network... | 18:31 |
| ikonia | popey: you around | 18:46 |
| daftykins | or asquare! | 19:39 |
| daftykins | evening all \o | 19:40 |
| zmoylan-pi | o/ | 19:40 |
| * zmoylan-pi remembers to pack generic toblerone for tomorrows game... | 19:57 | |
| zmoylan-pi | trapezoid instead of triangular | 19:57 |
| daftykins | :D | 19:57 |
| daftykins | i've not finished the one i acquired the other day! | 19:58 |
| zmoylan-pi | full tobler or tobler-lite | 19:58 |
| daftykins | i think it says 360g on the side and doesn't seem to have large flat sections, so i might be ok | 19:59 |
| * penguin42 seems to have done particularly well on the discount-chocolate acquisition this year; I've got a truly silly amount | 19:59 | |
| zmoylan-pi | otherwise the shop will get a drive by tobleroning | 19:59 |
| daftykins | ah no it is a shrunk one, doesn't seem all that bad though | 19:59 |
| zmoylan-pi | i wouldn't mind if they had just reduced the size but to keep the same size box seems deceptive | 20:00 |
| daftykins | yip | 20:04 |
| penguin42 | zmoylan-pi: Yeh | 20:05 |
| daftykins | one benefit to the gap is you have further space to push them over to have them snap cleanly :D | 20:05 |
| zmoylan-pi | they always snapped cleanly for me | 20:06 |
| zmoylan-pi | unless they were the giant ones and had been in the freezer when they sometimes needed to be bounced off furniture | 20:06 |
| daftykins | :> | 20:06 |
| daftykins | when i get a chocolate orange i roll them down the steps past the cat | 20:07 |
| * zmoylan-pi wonders what shapes the generic chocolate oranges come in... pineapple? :-) | 20:08 | |
| daftykins | ask Terry | 20:09 |
| SebthreeBQM10HD | hi | 20:15 |
| popey | ikonia: hello | 23:02 |
| popey | ikonia: also, I got a second bluetooth 8bitdo controller for xmas, so now can do two player games. Played 20 levels of 2 player Gauntlet in MAME with my 13 year old daughter :) | 23:03 |
| ikonia | popey: just got mine working, I thought I'd share the 50 minute shame of trying to get it to blue tooth pair and not understand why it couldn't see the device | 23:04 |
| popey | heh | 23:04 |
| ikonia | I'd plugged the SD card into my pi2 rather than pi3, so no inbuilt bluetooth, wasted 50 minutes of shame | 23:04 |
| popey | hahaha :D | 23:04 |
| popey | excellent | 23:04 |
| ikonia | put the sd in the pi3, 3 seconds later, 4 8bitdo controllers paired | 23:05 |
| ikonia | idiot | 23:05 |
| daftykins | XD | 23:05 |
| popey | 4! | 23:05 |
| popey | nice | 23:05 |
| popey | which ones did you get? | 23:05 |
| ikonia | 6 actually, only 4 paired | 23:05 |
| popey | flexiondotorg got the ones with dual analogs | 23:05 |
| popey | blimey | 23:05 |
| ikonia | got 2 x nes 30 pro, 1 x sfc, 1 x snes, and 2 of the arcade stick ones | 23:06 |
| popey | i have the SNES30 and SFC30 so I can tell player 1 from player 2 | 23:06 |
| ikonia | really liked them so went in hard | 23:06 |
| popey | awesome | 23:06 |
| popey | had much time to play? | 23:06 |
| ikonia | playing snes games needed the snes controller, the nes 30 pro was for generic stuff and the arcade stuff for sf2 /mk etc | 23:06 |
| ikonia | not much to be honest, starting this week, | 23:06 |
| ikonia | really enjoyed what I have played though | 23:06 |
| ikonia | re-completed super mario world at %100 | 23:07 |
| ikonia | that brough back my youth | 23:07 |
| ikonia | finally got it hooked into the main TV/sound system | 23:07 |
| ikonia | it's shockingly good for what it is | 23:07 |
| popey | Yeah | 23:07 |
| popey | I know flexiondotorg has done some fettling to get the nice backgrounds and old style tv effects | 23:07 |
| popey | I didn't do that on mine | 23:07 |
| ikonia | I've not got all the artwork or stuff setup yet | 23:08 |
| ikonia | going to sort that when I've got the game layout nice | 23:08 |
| daftykins | http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Framemeister-N-XRGB-Mini-Upscaler-Unit-DP3913547-From-Japan-/181327242059 | 23:09 |
| daftykins | those things have gone up in price like crazy | 23:09 |
| ikonia | good lord | 23:10 |
| ikonia | $800 ! | 23:10 |
| popey | I managed to get the pi to put out the right res for the screen, so I can play R-Type on a big telly with decent sound now :) | 23:10 |
| popey | happy days | 23:10 |
| ikonia | I need to check the res on mine, I'm %99 it's right | 23:11 |
| daftykins | i never had a *NES | 23:12 |
| popey | me either | 23:12 |
| popey | didnt have any consoles really. | 23:13 |
| daftykins | i had a lot of gameboy accessories mind you :D over the top light, battery pack... | 23:13 |
| popey | well, we had some odd orange thing under the telly in the 1970s/80s | 23:13 |
| daftykins | o0 | 23:13 |
| popey | then a game boy much later | 23:13 |
| daftykins | that's fruit, sir :D | 23:13 |
| popey | lemme find a pic, it's mad | 23:13 |
| ikonia | daftykins: I remember all those gameboy things, I had them, the magnigier, etc | 23:13 |
| ikonia | battery pack | 23:14 |
| daftykins | :D | 23:14 |
| popey | http://www.old-computers.com/Museum/computer.asp?st=3&c=933 | 23:14 |
| popey | that kind of thing | 23:14 |
| daftykins | i think you stole that from Blake's 7, popey :> | 23:14 |
| popey | http://www.playerschoicegames.com/hanimex7771.JPG | 23:14 |
| popey | haha | 23:14 |
| popey | it had 4 games, Tennis, Doubles, squash and .. practice i think | 23:15 |
| popey | like pong at home | 23:15 |
| popey | was bloody awful, but all we had in 1980 or so | 23:15 |
| daftykins | :> | 23:16 |
| zmoylan-pi | had one of those in late 70s, one with a gun though | 23:16 |
| popey | get you! | 23:16 |
| popey | I found a boxed one on ebay a while back and was tempted | 23:17 |
| popey | force the kids to play it as punishment | 23:17 |
| zmoylan-pi | *pew* *pew* *pew* http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/9dc26b84742f00841a40244d3c3241bf-650-80.jpg | 23:18 |
| daftykins | "Dad we're gaming but we're not even remotely having fun!" | 23:18 |
| daftykins | "how long must we do this? ;_; " | 23:19 |
| zmoylan-pi | they were incredible fun as long as you had a human opponent. one player it was very boring | 23:19 |
| zmoylan-pi | humans are sneaky | 23:19 |
| daftykins | damn them! | 23:19 |
| popey | I recently played Nemesis (classic shoot em up) in MAME, and it has a warm up for 40 seconds before it starts, Sam said "did games really do this when you were young!?" I said yes, and he said "I feel sorry for you" | 23:19 |
| popey | zmoylan-pi: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/binatone-tv-master-4-plus-2-and-gun-/322373820593?hash=item4b0efa20b1:g:yKgAAOSwB09YFiMs | 23:20 |
| popey | re-live the.. uh.. magic | 23:20 |
| daftykins | warm up? like it goes easy on you? | 23:20 |
| zmoylan-pi | we waited 5 minutes to load games in my day and we glad of it!!! (gave me time to do my homework :-P ) | 23:20 |
| daftykins | haha | 23:21 |
| zmoylan-pi | that binatone is the exact make and model... thank you popey | 23:21 |
| popey | :) | 23:22 |
| popey | heh | 23:22 |
| * daftykins does the wobbly lines to let zmoylan-pi have a flashback | 23:22 | |
| zmoylan-pi | to make it harder i used to use a mirror on wall opposite to tv... | 23:22 |
| popey | no, warmup as in the physical components need to warm up | 23:22 |
| popey | like valves | 23:22 |
| daftykins | ooooh i see | 23:22 |
| ikonia | perfect timing, bluetooth just broke on all my 8bitdo devices | 23:22 |
| ikonia | it's just lost all the devices | 23:22 |
| popey | odd | 23:22 |
| popey | reboot? | 23:22 |
| daftykins | ikonia: now Christmas really begins | 23:22 |
| ikonia | just dont it | 23:23 |
| ikonia | daftykins: just sat down to really enjoy it | 23:23 |
| ikonia | popey: nah, reboot did nothing, can't even see them at the OS level, I'll investigate | 23:23 |
| popey | :S | 23:23 |
| ikonia | comedy gold, after claiming sucess | 23:23 |
| popey | yeah, sorry about that :D | 23:23 |
| ikonia | comedy gold, after claiming sucess | 23:24 |
| ikonia | oops | 23:24 |
| daftykins | nah it was worth saying twice | 23:24 |
| ikonia | sorry, buffer there | 23:24 |
| daftykins | i just discovered that there's a leak on the sealant around my shower tray, so my shower has been running through the floorboards and onto the ceiling below, then onto the floor there | 23:33 |
| daftykins | kinda wished it was the soil pipe leaking so i could go the insurance route | 23:33 |
| daftykins | i'm told you get blamed for the lack of maintenance if it's just sealant leaking, so you can't try insurance :< | 23:36 |
| penguin42 | actually it can be really hard to find the leak; we spent a few months trying to stop mine leaking | 23:38 |
| daftykins | oof | 23:39 |
| daftykins | ah well i can see a black line where the tray meets the tile, the shower head was spraying onto there so i saw the drip drip... then i ran it again and aimed it away closer to the door, no drip drip | 23:40 |
| daftykins | could really do with redoing that room | 23:43 |
| zmoylan-pi | or install a sonic shower to eliminate leaks... :-P | 23:48 |
| daftykins | ^_^ | 23:50 |
| zmoylan-pi | inventor of kinder suprise dies... | 23:52 |
| penguin42 | was that a surprise? | 23:53 |
| daftykins | heart attack on receiving own invention for Christmas? | 23:53 |
| zmoylan-pi | he also helped invention of ferrero rocher so i hope a few ambassadors attend the funeral... :-P | 23:55 |
| daftykins | only the really badly dubbed ones! | 23:56 |
| zmoylan-pi | the toys used to be great in the 80s with pull back motors and tiny meccano sets but current ones are awful | 23:57 |
