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