| CoderEurope | Happy Australia day ! | 07:10 |
|---|---|---|
| SuperMatt | good to see, now that chrome and firefox are starting to report insecure sites, that more sites are going https by default | 08:18 |
| diddledan | morning | 08:47 |
| === Victor is now known as Guest50322 | ||
| diddledan | SuperMatt: yeah, they're making people actually start to think about security | 08:55 |
| diddledan | both end-users and site-owners alike | 08:55 |
| kn1ghtw0rk | I have a first line support guy in my team that is seriously making me doubt my sanity | 08:55 |
| diddledan | kn1ghtw0rk: surely your lack of sanity should be the first warning sign, no? ;-) | 08:57 |
| kn1ghtw0rk | I have never had an abundance of sanity | 09:11 |
| kn1ghtw0rk | you all know that | 09:12 |
| diddledan | I'm glad I'm not alone :-) | 09:12 |
| diddledan | life would be boring if we were sane | 09:12 |
| davmor2 | Morning all | 09:58 |
| diddledan | davmor2: https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/514480991952699392/RkBBZpB2.jpeg | 10:00 |
| JamesTait | Good morning all! Happy Thursday, and happy Australia Day! 😃 🌏 🐨 | 10:01 |
| davmor2 | diddledan: I think this is slightly more disturbing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgI7kIkwca8 | 10:04 |
| diddledan | HAL FTW | 10:05 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: just for something that isn't men down under https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GtyMeEcPPE | 10:07 |
| brobostigon | morning boys and girls. | 10:11 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: no coffee yet men at work, land down under kinda got merged into one that and I copy pasted :P | 10:13 |
| foobarry | bought a dishwasher at 8pm last night, was installed before 9am today :| | 10:14 |
| diddledan | foobarry: that's a fast turnaround | 10:16 |
| foobarry | yeah | 10:25 |
| zmoylan-pi | so how did you decide in the end which brand to go for? the one with no blue leds? :-P | 11:28 |
| foobarry | bosch. was interested in samsung but they didn't seem to do slimline ones | 11:34 |
| foobarry | need to fit in 45cm gap | 11:35 |
| zmoylan-pi | didn't they just recall a home appliance as it was impersonating their latest mobile offering? | 11:35 |
| zmoylan-pi | samsung that is | 11:35 |
| foobarry | used topcashback and an voucher code to make things a bit cheaper | 11:35 |
| foobarry | well i would like an oven to make things hot | 11:36 |
| foobarry | and a hob to flame things | 11:36 |
| zmoylan-pi | a samsung fridge perhaps... :-P | 11:36 |
| TwistedLucidity | zmoylan-pi: Yeah. In the USA their combi washer/dryer (I think) had a conflragation "feature" | 11:38 |
| daftykins | aww yeah new specs all the way from Hong Kong - https://www.dropbox.com/s/vu061glld8bampw/IMG_20170126_122104.jpg?dl=0 | 12:24 |
| daftykins | bottom pair, missing a lens... are the ones i trashed in my spill 2 and a bit years ago | 12:25 |
| daftykins | it reached 0 deg C this morning D: | 12:27 |
| zmoylan-pi | yeah 2 weather warnings in south of ireland... mostly just rain but does feel nippy out | 12:29 |
| zmoylan-pi | and renewables ie wind is now providing 60+% or irish leccy at the mo... http://smartgriddashboard.eirgrid.com/ | 12:30 |
| daftykins | oh dear that gives me a 503 | 12:33 |
| daftykins | does that mean someone broke wind? | 12:34 |
| zmoylan-pi | they seem to be running that server on a rasp pi and it often can't keep up with number of connections | 12:35 |
| daftykins | yay it's alive now | 12:42 |
| daftykins | that's pretty cool if accurate | 12:43 |
| daftykins | strangely, they're planning on running a large power cable from the northern tip of France just to the east of me here - up through the island of Alderney - to England O_O | 12:44 |
| zmoylan-pi | the person i got the link from is an engineer who fixes the wind turbines amongst other things so i'm inclined to believe it's at least rougly accurate | 12:44 |
| daftykins | very neat | 12:45 |
| daftykins | i'd bet there are some fun systems to play with in power generation | 12:46 |
| daftykins | oh my specs were shipped by a courier named sky net, i think it's the rise of the machines | 12:49 |
| zmoylan-pi | lots of big toys... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4G4hO76H6AU | 12:50 |
| daftykins | glaxo smithkline o0 | 12:51 |
| zmoylan-pi | all the big pharmacuticals are huge in ireland for manufacturing and research | 12:51 |
| daftykins | hmm, tax angles i take it? | 12:52 |
| zmoylan-pi | no, i think a lot of them predate the tax advantages | 12:52 |
| daftykins | hehe | 12:52 |
| zmoylan-pi | i remember listening to a podcast a few months back from the early 70s about medical research in ireland bringing in international companies | 12:53 |
| zmoylan-pi | *back of a radio documentary from | 12:53 |
| daftykins | :D | 12:54 |
| daftykins | oh i got the timber treatment guys report today to forward to my insurance adjuster, so there's a bit more progress... although they want to trash the rest of my bathroom now, which will mean moving out | 13:01 |
| zmoylan-pi | ... or crossing your legs for a few weeks... | 13:02 |
| daftykins | yip :> | 13:02 |
| daftykins | i have to head up a clients in a moment for a shower :/ | 13:02 |
| zmoylan-pi | get a camping shower gizmo and shower in the garden... :-P | 13:05 |
| zmoylan-pi | hypothermia... but clean... :-P | 13:06 |
| daftykins | i don't have a garden :> just a little tiny deck with not so great drainage | 13:06 |
| daftykins | think the tap that's there is rusted solid too... | 13:06 |
| zmoylan-pi | it's just a bag of water so you can give yourself a navy shower. wet, soap, rinse, soap, rinse... | 13:07 |
| foobarry | do we have any coders in here looking for an exciting job? | 13:16 |
| zmoylan-pi | i think the coders are down the pub drowning their sorrows over having to use ms software | 13:23 |
| daftykins | nah they're busy building the latest applications from source because their distro's default repos have all broken software packaged :) | 13:23 |
| dogmatic69 | Hi all, im looking for a way to send the keystroke F1 to a terminal session, but it seems like the window manager is catching it | 13:40 |
| dogmatic69 | any ideas how I can force it to send? | 13:40 |
| zmoylan-pi | try an onscreen keyboard? | 13:41 |
| foobarry | are there any good subreddits for programmingjobs? | 13:42 |
| dogmatic69 | one sec | 13:42 |
| foobarry | no MS software in this job | 13:42 |
| foobarry | anywhere | 13:42 |
| foobarry | r/jobbit | 13:42 |
| dogmatic69 | zmoylan-pi: the onscreeen dont even have function keys | 13:43 |
| dogmatic69 | doubt it would work anyway, I think it is the window manager catching for help screens. most apps have F1 for help | 13:43 |
| diddledan | dogmatic69: first result on google: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/53581/sending-function-keys-f1-f12-over-ssh | 13:45 |
| dogmatic69 | "Another way to see the escape sequence for a function key is to press Ctrl+V in a terminal application that doesn't rebind the Ctrl+V key (such as the shell). Ctrl+V inserts the next character (which will be the escape character) literally, and you'll be able to see the rest of the sequence, which consists of ordinary characters." | 13:46 |
| dogmatic69 | try that, and hit F1.. nothing happens | 13:46 |
| dogmatic69 | ctrl+v -> F1 ... nothing | 13:47 |
| diddledan | that isn't what it tells you | 13:47 |
| diddledan | F1 == ^[OP | 13:47 |
| foobarry | google drive is dreadful | 20:04 |
| foobarry | impossible to navigate folders with any persistence | 20:05 |
| zmoylan-pi | i use dropbox... i wouldn't use it for anything secure mind | 20:05 |
| foobarry | this is a work collaboration between different institutions | 20:06 |
| foobarry | no choice | 20:06 |
| foobarry | cannot see contents of folders easily at all | 20:06 |
| daftykins | i've seen Google Drive fall over and be unreliable, too | 20:06 |
| daftykins | no idea what you mean is happening though | 20:06 |
| SuperMatt | I'm all about the OwnCloud | 20:08 |
| foobarry | when documents are in nested folders, navigating those foldesr is really cludgy | 20:08 |
| foobarry | and opening docs and navigating them is too | 20:09 |
| foobarry | it was ages before i realised there were folders full of files | 20:09 |
| foobarry | maybe i need that insync client | 20:09 |
| daftykins | on a clients Windows 7 system, i tried moving his Documents folder into the Google Drive root so that it'd keep them backed up - problem? it breaks indexing so search no longer works within it - and the client regularly crashed a couple of years back, generally pretty terrible | 20:10 |
| zmoylan-pi | ooooh, shiny.... http://kde.slimbook.es/ | 20:14 |
| daftykins | https://youtu.be/4hHIv9RmDvY kittys + laser pointer now in 4K! | 20:21 |
