[00:19] <zmoylan-pi> it's good that terrible ui's aren't just in computers
[01:26] <m0nkey_> I need this in my life: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9GWteVUYD0
[06:37] <knightwise> good morning everyone
[08:49] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[08:49] <knightwise> morning brobostigon
[08:50]  * knightwise is listening to Lord Drachenbluts Eulogy show on Hpr
[08:50] <brobostigon> morning knightwise
[08:50] <brobostigon> first shift today, 2pm-6pm, :)
[09:04] <davmor2> Morning all
[09:10] <brobostigon> morning davmor2
[09:13] <davmor2> How was everyones break?
[09:14] <brobostigon> quiet.
[09:43] <JamesTait> Good morning all! Happy Monday, and happy Clean Off Your Desk Day! 😃
[09:53] <zmoylan-pi> if i cleaned off my desk it would lose structural integrity! :-)
[09:54] <SuperMat1> My desk is normally quite clean really
[09:54] <SuperMat1> but I do hate the number of cables I have to have
[11:58] <zmoylan-pi> people are looking for a good monitor that'll charge their macbook pros in other channels to try and thin out the cable mess
[11:58] <foobarry> heh
[11:59] <zmoylan-pi> and like keyboards what is defined as a good monitor is very very subjective...
[12:29] <ali1234> a monitor that charges your computer?
[12:30] <zmoylan-pi> if it works on usb-c yes.  there are a few seemingly that do
[12:30] <ali1234> crazy
[12:32] <zmoylan-pi> but it can mean that when you plug your usb-c enabled device into 1 cable on your desk at home or work it adds 2 displays, network, keyboard and mouse and charges the bugger at the same time... which is nice
[12:32] <zmoylan-pi> i'm not sure it's better than a docking station though... a good docking station mind, not a cheap horrible one
[12:48] <popey> less space
[12:49] <zmoylan-pi> which for some is the priority but i loved when i used a palm pda been able to drop it into a cradle with one hand and no fiddling with a connecting cable
[12:49] <zmoylan-pi> and i've seen 1-2 docks you could do that with a laptop
[12:53] <zmoylan-pi> drop in cradle, press the sync button and magic happened :-)
[13:20] <diddledan> chocolate
[13:21] <foobarry> like the magically chocolate biscuit machine in bagpuss?
[13:24] <diddledan> anyone interested in lifetime access to sitepoint learning material? (normally ~$450, currently $49) http://www.appsumo.com/~UZA0d/
[13:24] <diddledan> they focus on web stuff
[15:58] <diddledan> going to see rogue one tonight
[16:08] <SuperMatt> Probably the most brutal film I've seen
[16:15] <davmor2> SuperMatt: p-l-ease! Brutal.  As in a brutal massacre of a franchise Hello H20 or Brutal as in violent I can name 50 worse :D
[16:19] <SuperMatt> I'm not going to discuss it further becuz spoilers
[16:59] <zmoylan-pi> the alien did it :-P
[16:59] <daftykins> D:
[17:21] <daftykins> just spotted the convo above, i'd like a monitor with USB C for my Dell XPS13 so i could have single cable charging, connection, possibly USB ports too so a wireless receiver could be plugged in and even gigabit LAN so i could leave a cable plumbed in and have wired on the laptop - all on the one cable!
[17:21] <daftykins> that's more doable with docks though, but sadly Dell's is still about £175
[17:26] <zmoylan-pi> yeah a few people were talkings about dells docking thingy...
[17:27] <daftykins> i'm sure Apple would find a way to stop it working properly
[17:28] <zmoylan-pi> well i did see a story of someone who reported that their macbook kept trying to charge itself off a usb hard drive
[17:29] <daftykins> :D
[17:30] <daftykins> a lot will probably be down to iffy accessories and cable converters for now
[17:30] <zmoylan-pi> someone was saying it's all based on a pyramid of trust with every device reporting itself correctly as to what it is and what it can do... this will fail when cheap chinese knockoffs appear in 18 months
[17:31] <daftykins> well there've been tonnes of cables not to spec already so they're already there :>
[20:47] <SebthreeBQM10HD> hi
[21:31] <SebthreeBQM10HD> hi
[22:06] <diddledan> wow. just. wow.
[22:06] <diddledan> that was epic
[22:07] <diddledan> I prefer that to the force awakens
[22:07] <diddledan> I got a lil teary when carrie fisher appeared
[22:08] <SebthreeBQM10HD> diddledan, I wasnt so keen on the new star wars from what I saw of it and thought the previous was better
[22:09] <daftykins> i don't get why anyone is so fussed o0
[22:10] <diddledan> daftykins: please hand-in your badge and your gun
[22:10] <diddledan> :-p
[22:10]  * daftykins does not like any of Star Wars
[22:12] <SebthreeBQM10HD> indeed its rather hyped like Marvel
[22:31] <diddledan> I find your lack of faith disturbing
[22:34] <daftykins> this is seriously confusing, i have an 8 disk RAID6 on a 3ware controller with XFS under 14.04.5 server, it's only writing at 20MB/sec...
[22:34] <m0nkey_> STAR TREK! FTW!
[22:34] <daftykins> moreover, not every disk light flashes as it's writing
[22:35] <m0nkey_> daftykins, you got a cache battery hooked up to it?
[22:35] <diddledan> m0nkey_: https://cdn1.bigcommerce.com/server3400/v4eyu8t/products/2187/images/3603/Loved_Him_Ladies_V-Neck_Close_UP__58268.1463517860.800.800.jpg?c=2
[22:35] <m0nkey_> lol
[22:36] <daftykins> m0nkey_: nah
[22:37] <daftykins> but these 3wares don't speed limit based on that automatically
[22:37] <m0nkey_> does the card have any sort of write cache on it? because if it doesn't. it'll be slow.
[22:37] <daftykins> yeah 256MB RAM onboard
[22:37] <m0nkey_> hmm
[22:37]  * diddledan cuts daftykins' power
[22:37] <m0nkey_> that should be enough
[22:37] <daftykins> it's on a UPS ;D
[22:38] <diddledan> I still need to fix my ups
[22:38] <daftykins> D:
[22:38] <diddledan> it's dormant right now
[22:38] <m0nkey_> Just replaced my UPS battery
[22:39] <diddledan> https://twitter.com/kinlane/status/818585315195527168
[22:39] <m0nkey_> i need to test the new battery in my ups
[22:40]  * diddledan cuts m0nkey_'s power
[22:40] <m0nkey_> no need. Hydro Quebec will do that for you
[22:40] <diddledan> lol
[22:40] <daftykins> there's a little baby 500VA APC at my clients from many moons ago, i could try one of the batteries off amazon to get it going again
[22:41] <m0nkey_> i need to recycle a Pb battery
[22:42] <daftykins> same here, gonna ask the guy that helped hang the TV to take it down to the local recycling place
[22:43] <diddledan> I hate peanut butter batteries
[22:43] <daftykins> mixed with sausage, they're the wurst
[22:43] <diddledan> bratwurst?
[22:44] <daftykins> please sir, sausages have feelings too
[22:52] <SebthreeBQM10HD> daftykins, they do in the sausage fest animtion
[23:00]  * diddledan hopes shauno doesn't see this one: https://twitter.com/danielsing3r/status/818221826685812736
[23:01] <m0nkey_> lol
[23:04] <diddledan> I'm off to snooze. nn
[23:05] <m0nkey_> lightweight
[23:07] <daftykins> m0nkey_: congratulations, you're promoted to diddledan and diddledan is demoted to new-shauno
[23:08] <m0nkey_> indeed
[23:29] <daftykins> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9Apcy8GyIM Louis seems to be trolling his assistant tonight
[23:30] <daftykins> he's reconnecting traces on a microSD card D:
