[00:31] because your 1tb usb flash drive just isn't big enough... https://liliputing.com/2017/01/kingston-launches-2tb-usb-flash-drive.html [00:32] oof [00:33] those things are enabling such craziness :> [00:39] perfect for emergency cat videos when zombie apocalypse happens... [00:39] that's true [00:40] i put in another 2 Pis today as yet more music streamers for my clients place [00:40] but you'll have to order it and fill it before trump is sworn in... :-p [00:40] can't sniff at £40 per node when you've already got a stereo there! [00:40] the pi's are a truly remarkable industry changing piece of tech [00:41] actually lets remote in and tweak their settings whilst i remember their IPs [00:43] lucky they're not home else i could start blaring music in their bedroom 8D [00:45] I'm wondering if raspi are gonna do a birthday version bump again this year [00:46] play a subliminal mp3 at low volume in bedroom 'give daftykins a nice bonus...' :-P [00:46] :D [00:57] would be a great drive to bring to work in on first day at nsa and a pro snowden bumper sticker... [01:15] i just installed mythtv-ackend on a raspberry pi [01:15] i dont think it is going to be fast enough [01:16] newp :> [01:17] i should probably just switch to tvheadend or something [01:19] i know it'd make a lot of folk happy if a future Pi did HEVC 10-bit decode :> [01:20] mysql is the killer apparently [01:21] its using 25% CPU just idling [01:21] how's that dire net connection of yours? any improvement over the last while? [01:21] no, its still the same as ever [01:22] :< [01:23] can't wait until i can go do the work at a clients, he put all his sockets on the same incoming line - so i bought a proper NTE5a off ebay for £11 including a built in filter module - gonna make it the proper master and then slave the rest [01:23] doubled his connection speed last time i visited :D [01:24] yeah just dont tell BT [01:24] well, they don't exist over here but yeah, no DMC modding :D [01:24] and get the proper punch down tool [01:25] dont buy the plastic ones they are useless [01:25] yeah i have owned a Krone IDC for many a moon [01:25] gotta do those patch panels! [01:25] i've often wondered if they'd take a Krone away from you on flights, 'cause i needed to do stuff in Spain before now [01:26] i doubt it [01:26] but they only cost like £2 [01:39] mmm more the trouble of sourcing one down there [03:55] Hello ............ [07:26] morning boys and girls. [07:36] hi === Victor is now known as Guest93128 [09:03] Good morning all! Happy Wednesday, and happy Trivia Day! 😃 [09:19] morning all [09:32] morning foobarry [09:32] hey SuperMatt [09:32] * knightwise just ordered a rasp pi II [09:32] III [09:35] my internet is uppy downy today [09:35] and i'm at work :( === john-mca` is now known as john-mcaleely [10:07] scan order for cheap video card cancelled... [10:07] Put my pihole back in operation , scary to see how much of my traffic is ad related [10:07] good morning popey [10:08] have scan gone titsup? [10:08] no [10:08] they had an oopsie on amazon, a high end video card for 10 quid [10:08] but the suspiciously cheap card is not been sent... bad popey! :-P [10:09] Azelphur ordered like 30 of them [12:31] Possibly Controversial Opinion : StrongSwan is a complete PITA and not a good choice of VPN client [12:32] Upside : they have a great attitude to security, they are an active project, etc [12:32] Downside : They let their attitude to security get in the way of being actually able to use their software for it's intended purpose [12:33] AFAIK StrongSwan is the only VPN client that does IKEv1 for current Debian / Ubuntu that integrates with network manager [12:33] Sadly, you can't actually *use* it for IKEv1 via network manager [12:34] AFAICT there is NO VPN client that does IKEv1 + XAUTH that integrates with NM at the moment [12:34] Which is a shame because it's the go-to VPN config for most of the places I've worked [12:34] I get it, it's rubbish and old therefore we shouldn't be promoting it's use [12:35] You do that by making it hard to set up as a server, not by making it virtually impossible to use as a client [12:35] That just makes it hard to use Ubuntu as a workstation in a business that uses that flavour of VPN [12:37] StrongSwan even has opinions about the strength of PSK that's permissible - AFAICT if your PSK is less than 20 chars, it refuses to work because of their low opinion of the security level of that. Well, I can't tell my sysadmin to change the common PSK for 200 users just because StrongSwan says so.... [12:42] And if you install the "strongswan" package so you can attempt to configure and run it from files / command line, it conflicts with ike / ike-qtgui (the Shrew Soft VPN client) which is rude and annoying and doesn't integrate with NM ... but does have the advantage of working for at least *some* of the IKEv1 / PSK / XAUTH connections I use. [12:43] (by "no VPN client" I mean, no VPN client that you can get from the main package repo) [13:05] https://learntemail.sam.today/blog/my-watch-runs-gnu-linux-and-it-is-amazing/ [13:05] never wanted a smart watch until now [13:06] had me right up till they ran systemd :-P [13:17] Hi there, I have a system on Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS with php5 installed. I've just added Ondřej Surý's PPA to get the php5.6 package and was just about to install it with apt-get when I suddenly realised I'd better ask in here: do I need to remove php5 first or will the package manager deal with that for me? [13:19] Rixon: I believe it'll upgrade in-place fine [13:20] diddledan: excellent thank you =) [13:22] ah, apt-get just told me: "0 to upgrade, 9 to newly install, 0 to remove and 234 not to upgrade." [13:22] apparently they can both be installed and run alongside eachother, but apache/nginx/whatever will need configuration files to point at /etc/php/5.6/... rather than /etc/php5/... [13:33] my wife put some of my usb sticks thru the washing machine cycle [13:34] soggy sticks! [13:34] It's to wash all the filth out of them [13:34] she knows where you store your gentlemens' special interest movies [13:34] ;-) [13:35] metal detecting? [13:35] airfix models? [13:35] I thought they were documentaries on the history of manhole covers [13:36] thats jez corbyn [13:38] You're right! [14:29] this is beautiful https://youtu.be/HD2zrF3I_II [15:28] I wonder if my nephew will ask me what the last century was like when he's a little older [15:28] I'll have to tell him it was all fuzzy because VHS had poor bandwidth [15:29] and then he'll ask my dad (his grandad) what it was like before that and he'll get the answer that it was black and white [15:29] I really need to build that pikea gaming table for him soon [15:57] my son seems confused about which generations had electricity [15:59] i think he's pretty much got it: bible times: no things except animals and diseases, victorian times: some things and diseases, modern times: all the things, different diseases [15:59] more intelligent diseases! [15:59] and misuse of medical advances [16:00] * diddledan probes daftykins [16:01] oh and aliens! [16:03] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYXZV8CcnQU [16:04] shame lubotu doesn't tell us the youtube titles like other chans [16:05] would definitely reduce the need to click ;) [16:05] but that ruins the fun of me posting random links! [16:48] Weird statement of the day: I just bought a GTX 1080 for my home server. [16:51] wat [16:51] o_O [16:51] diddledan: it's headless too [16:51] you're weird :-D [16:52] hehe [16:52] lol [16:52] diddledan: got a VM on there, passing the GPU through, I call it my Game Client Server \o/ [16:52] aha [16:52] so it kinda is and isn't headless at the same time [16:53] indeed [16:53] it's an ambiguous server [16:53] indeed, and it's a server that runs clients. [16:53] we need to make that an industry term now [16:53] haha [16:54] and we need a test to find out how ambiguous your server is and whether that is ambiguous enough to classify as an ambiguous server [16:54] our applications are web-scale ambiguous [16:55] we also have a fleet of containers running micro-ambiguous services [16:58] haha [16:59] we also have a big-ambiguity data lake. [17:00] we're all-in on the ambiguous paradigm that we no-longer run normal systems [17:01] our cost savings are 80% compared to normal cloud computing [17:02] we have 110% velocity and our KPIs and ROI are improving YoY [17:02] anyone got to buzzword bingo yet? [17:03] our ambiguous synergies are streamlined and unified [17:03] haha [17:03] gotta love buzzword bingo :) [17:03] :-) [17:04] especially when it involves shots [17:06] hehe [17:06] finally got to play elite dangerous today though, loving it [17:06] can't wait to go tri screen elite dangerous [17:08] get an oculous [17:08] oculus [17:16] diddledan: been tempted for a while, already spent quite a bit recently [17:16] although Bitcoin is definitely making me a happy panda financially atm [17:17] did your 30 orders for the scan bargain get cancelled? my single one did but I'm unsure whether that was 'cos my bank account ran out of monies :-p [17:17] yea they all got cancelled [17:17] aah [17:17] ok [17:17] shame :-( [17:18] but I understand their reasons [17:18] indeed, I bought them just figuring it was a punt [17:18] yup === alan_g is now known as alan_g|EOD [18:11] Azelphur: i hope you're not like my spending mates, living from pay packet to pay packet :P [18:11] 'cause that's one nuts purchase right there! [18:11] daftykins: nah, I work as a programmer so get paid reasonably w ell [18:11] but also, have you seen the Bitcoin market recently? loving it :) [18:11] nope still glad to stay away from that experiment [18:12] heh, I'm glad I got in [18:12] store your bitcoin on an 8" floppy for maximum security :-P [18:13] doesn't really matter what some mates are paid though, it's the way they spend it that's pretty cringeworthy :) [18:13] haha [18:14] daftykins: I'm a weirdo, I pretty much only by tech [18:14] same [18:14] although now i'm gonna be paying out for home maintenance since this shower of mine has been leaking through the floor below :/ [18:14] fun and games [18:15] I have a house full of kit, my 2 bed apartment has a 58" 4k TV, 4 x 40" 4k monitors, along with another 3 19" monitors, I have a PC, my home server, my 3 laptops, built a PC for my gf too, etc [18:15] Yet, I sit here wearing a shirt that I've had for 10+ years with missing buttons and odd socks. [18:15] but, that's me lol [18:16] that's easy to sort, go out and buy a dozen pairs of socks of one colour and a dozen pairs of another. then you have socks for years with next to no hunting for socks [18:17] yea, I have been tempted to just get rid of all my socks and start again with only one set of socks. [18:17] yeah but you buy all those super cheap deals of no-name brand crap right? ;) [18:18] so it could all pop tomorrow and you'd have no recourse? :> [18:18] that's true too technology wise [18:18] TV is a hisense, monitors are AMH korean imports [18:18] might want to check the ol' insurance coverage [18:18] daftykins: but, that said, I made reasonable estimations when I make purchases [18:18] for example, with the Korean monitors, I looked up the name brand, UK versions [18:19] and worked out I could have one fail, replace it out of pocket, and have it still be cheaper [18:20] think that'd depend on the specs for me [18:20] fair bit more than just pixel count to a 4K display [18:21] daftykins: they are really nice LG Panels, 4:4:4 chroma, have a wide array of inputs, even supports 4 inputs simultaniously with picture in picture [18:21] iirc they are LG panels anyway, the only downside to them is they have a little b it of shadowing at the bottom of the display [18:21] and one of my 4 developed an entire row of dead pixels :< [18:22] heh [18:22] yeah wouldn't be worth the hassle of dealing with a return on that sort of thing [18:23] that call to a korean support centre must have been fun... :-P [18:23] I did actually try and return it, eBay seller just ignored me lol [18:23] but yea, wasn't expecting to be able to return it [18:28] 'press 2 to have godzilla attack the supplier' [18:43] Maximum security for bitcoin is print an encrypted copy of your wallet key on paper then put it in a safety deposit box [18:43] Then delete the electronic copies === brks is now known as wibble1 [21:11] think of the possabilities... it could display the score of a match you've recorded to watch later... :-P http://www.computerworld.com/article/3153953/security/ransomware-arrives-on-smart-tvs.html [21:11] drop the audio when the closed captions revel the name of the murderer...
