lotuspsychjegood morning to all06:31
ducassehi all08:49
EriC^^hi ducasse o/08:52
ducassemorning EriC^^, how's life?08:53
EriC^^morning, good thanks, you?08:53
ducassegood, just sat down with my tea, relaxing :)08:55
EriC^^:)08:56
ducasseEriC^^: have you heard anything about usb sticks needing mbr table to boot on uefi?09:08
EriC^^ducasse: no09:08
ducasseok, somebody said so in #ubuntu the other day, i was just curious. thought it was weird.09:09
daftykinssounds rubbish to me :>12:14
EriC^^yup12:18
daftykinshttps://bethesda.net/en/article/52I2HyPCAowWG2ye8MKGU2/fallout-4-free-updates-high-resolution-texture-pack-and-ps4-pro-support12:20
daftykinsgonna try this next week :>12:20
BluesKajHt folks12:20
daftykins\o12:21
EriC^^nice12:22
EriC^^i need to finish fallout4 i barely reached the diamond city place12:22
EriC^^the graphics on that site look good!12:22
daftykinsi've barely got through the intro :>12:22
EriC^^lol12:23
daftykinsmore focussed on work for now, but i'll give it a look :>12:23
daftykinsthat will probably make my PC struggle12:23
daftykinsweeeell it looks like this PC isn't showing up today unless i get called in the next 5 mins12:24
EriC^^i'm thinking of making a website/service12:24
EriC^^it's a website that gathers all the youtube comments and posts them from oldest to newest12:25
EriC^^i was thinking like youtubecomments.com , so someone would add to youtube.com/watch=.... and make it youtubecomments.com/watch=...12:25
EriC^^not sure how legal it would be though, the youtube terms of service are very strict about using "the service" for anything but lots of sites offer to download video's mp3 and stuff like that .. i dont know12:26
daftykinsmmm12:27
daftykinscould be a way to make Google quite grumpy :> maybe you need to read through the API request info or something?12:27
EriC^^they have an api for getting comments, but it's restricted to 40 i think12:28
EriC^^i found a script written in python that gets all the comments without the api, like 2000 comments in some seconds, and the size is pretty small12:29
EriC^^but it needs to also get the "likes" below the comments so i'd have to add that myself somehow12:29
EriC^^i'll probably /join #python and nag there12:30
EriC^^haha12:30
EriC^^the legality of the matter is still there though12:30
daftykinsXD12:30
EriC^^wish i had a friend that was a lawyer12:31
EriC^^the interesting thing is that there's no other site right now that does that12:32
EriC^^so it's either illegal or i dunno, i feel like it would be kind of useful12:32
daftykinsmust be because youtube comments are the sewer of the internet :D12:32
EriC^^lots of people like to see the old comments and have everything in one place12:33
EriC^^lol true12:33
EriC^^i tried it on some videos, the first 10 or so are all "FIRST!!!" "OMG I CANT BELIEVE IT IM FIRST!" etc12:33
EriC^^some people like to see their old comments on videos, so probably add a "username" search filter or something12:34
EriC^^i'm getting kind of low on the cash, so i'm kind of brainstorming ideas for websites12:36
EriC^^i was thinking to put a pop under ad, it's like $5 / 1000 views for some countries, not bad12:37
EriC^^another idea is kind of illegal12:43
EriC^^i noticed this site called movienight.ws he has movies up for online watching, and lots of ads on the site12:44
daftykinsthat's a bad EriC^^, do nice things ;)12:44
daftykinsah yeah i think i heard that's another one of those torrent wrappers12:44
EriC^^nope, he uses this site called filepup.net to upload his videos12:44
EriC^^the kicker is that filepup.net lets you upload anything anonymously, but they put their own ad before playing the video12:45
EriC^^so basically he has all these movies hosted there, he puts his ads on his site, and filepup adds their ads before the movie12:45
EriC^^so technically he isn't hosting a single illegal movie on his site, just links to filepup.net12:45
EriC^^it's kind of ingenious12:46
EriC^^i think legally he can't be liable for anything, right?12:46
daftykinshmm probably depends on the country, he's profiting from copyright violation, so i'm sure there's an angle there12:47
EriC^^this is how much money he might be making http://www.worthofweb.com/website-value/movienight.ws/12:47
EriC^^67,000visits/day and he has like 3-4 ads per movie that pop under12:48
EriC^^his ads are for sites like alibaba and other companies i think they dont care really12:49
daftykinsprobably done through an intermediary so they don't even know12:50
EriC^^some is even malware, i visited the site from my phone and it tried to convince me "your phone <make and model here> has sa virus! please download this app to clean it immediately"12:50
daftykinsah yeah common thing12:51
EriC^^the really funny part is that since he doesn't host on his site, somebody could potentially make another site better made and with more videos and use his filepup anonymous uploads as his own videos12:51
EriC^^lol :>12:51
EriC^^next day the russian mafia is at your door12:52
EriC^^:P12:52
EriC^^there is a shop in a city nearby, where they have the latest latest movies (even before it hits the cinemas here) and every movie is for $1-$212:53
daftykinswowzer12:54
daftykinsDVD or bluray?12:54
EriC^^dvd12:54
EriC^^it's a tiny shop with stacks of dvds all around and in the middle and everywhere, they have old movies too, almost every movie12:54
EriC^^anyways its a bad idea i guess12:56
EriC^^if it wasn't illegal it would be kind of nice, buy movies from there, upload them to filepup, make money12:57
EriC^^and people get to watch movies for free too (wouldn't use that guys filepup files though just the ones i get)12:57
daftykinsooh The Arrival is finally out, i missed that in the cinema12:58
EriC^^i recently watched a monster calls12:58
EriC^^it was pretty good12:58
EriC^^i wonder how illegal it is though, copyright violation12:59
EriC^^and the fact that i'm a citizen of the usa13:00
daftykinsyou are :o13:00
EriC^^yeah i was born there13:00
EriC^^my dad lives there13:01
=== JanC_ is now known as JanC
EriC^^my parents are lebanese both of them though13:01
EriC^^if i made a site about ubuntu and stuff like that13:03
daftykinsposts on how to fix the common #ubuntu queries :>13:04
EriC^^like maybe put some tutorials, and some useful scripts i've written and stuff like that, it would probably get a 4 views/ month13:04
EriC^^lol13:04
EriC^^i wish people used ubuntu instead of windows i'd probably do that for sure13:04
* daftykins pats Windows13:05
daftykinsbtw i've found that having my mum reply to people on facebook suggesting i look at their IT problems is really introducing me to new people and getting me work o013:06
daftykinsyou need a social networking hooked mother with plenty of free time :D13:06
EriC^^haha13:06
daftykinsah modern connections are ace, 5.5MB/sec down i'm getting, 26 mins for 9GB13:07

EriC^^just noticed it in the list, seems cool :)19:33
daftykinsmaybe i should do that tonight too19:33
EriC^^imdb is 8.319:33
EriC^^haven't had one of those in a while19:34
EriC^^heh :D19:34
EriC^^yeah you should, pop a beer and watch it19:35
daftykinsyep before i have to move out so don't have my TV etc19:35
EriC^^too bad the beer is in the closet warm here19:35
EriC^^*youtubes how to chill beer instantly*19:35
EriC^^you're moving?19:35
daftykinsi have to love elsewhere once the insurance work starts on my bathroom19:36
daftykinslol love, *live19:36
EriC^^oh ok19:36
EriC^^so just temporarily19:36
daftykinswaiting on replies from my insurer right now, it's slow going19:36
daftykinsyeah maybe 2 or 3 weeks, they have to put me in a hotel!19:36
EriC^^oh19:37
EriC^^that'll be fun19:37
EriC^^and interesting19:37
daftykinsright now i have to walk to my clients house to shower19:37
EriC^^:D19:37
EriC^^oh man i cant imagine the videos im about to watch19:39
EriC^^i feel like one of them will be "reverse the polarity of your microwave and put the beer" 30secs to chill19:39
EriC^^xD19:40
EriC^^https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6ncuv3gewI19:40
daftykins:D19:40
EriC^^ever heard of that one?19:41
daftykinsnope!19:43
daftykinsbut then having ice on hand kind of makes the approach moot to begin19:43
EriC^^beer with ice?19:44
EriC^^is that an option?19:45
daftykinsi was thinking if you had ice in a freezer you'd throw the drink in there :>19:48
daftykinsthat's what i'd do when i bought beer, throw one in the freezer for a bit... just don't forget otherwise it explodes!19:48
EriC^^aha19:48
EriC^^i think i'll do that, i dont think i even have more than 2 cubes of ice or so anyways19:48
EriC^^i think it works, i put 4 cubes and some salt and water19:56
EriC^^and the bottle is pretty cold to the touch, not sure about the inside, i slapped it in the freezer, will check in on it in abit19:56
daftykins:D19:58
daftykinsFOR SCIENCE!19:58
EriC^^haha19:58
ducasseEriC^^: stir the water, and you speed up the heat exchange :)19:59
EriC^^aha19:59
EriC^^the movie is kind of freezing at times20:00
EriC^^(pardon the pun)20:00
daftykinsit's from a naughty source!20:00
EriC^^lol it's my connection i bet20:00
EriC^^damn isp *shakes fist*20:01
EriC^^crap20:04
EriC^^keeps buffering at times20:05
EriC^^did you watch a monster calls? it's a pretty good movie20:06
daftykinsnah not heard of that one20:06
daftykinsi don't even seem to watch what i do get20:06
EriC^^it was pretty good, it's about a kid whose mom is dying20:07
EriC^^and he can't really come to terms with it and he starts imagining this monster and learns stuff from him and in the end he has to come to terms with a sort of ugly fact20:07
EriC^^other than his mom's death, it's a pretty good story and the ending was pretty good20:08
daftykinshrmm20:08
EriC^^plus i loved how realistic it was and depicts really the nature of how life/human beings are far from black and white kind of thing20:08
EriC^^it's on the movienight.ws as well20:09
EriC^^torrenting the arrival :D20:10
EriC^^the connection sucks too, it's going to take forever20:14
EriC^^ducasse: how was your day today?20:16
daftykinsreal shame i missed it when it was in the local cinema20:16
daftykinsi was all prepared, then when i was finally free to go... they'd stopped showing it already!20:16
EriC^^it sucks when that happens20:16
ducasseEriC^^: exceptionally quiet, rebuilt a vps and that's about it :) you?20:16
EriC^^some theaters who dont sell that much keep big movies longer20:17
daftykinsducasse: \o20:17
daftykinsmmm must be food o'clock, heading for half 820:17
EriC^^ducasse: cool, i *tried* to get a vps they asked for a id/passport so no go20:17
ducassei got a giftcard for the local cinema for my bday, need to keep an eye out for something to watch-20:17
daftykinsO_O which provider was that?20:18
ducasseEriC^^: odd, where was that?20:18
ducassedaftykins: o/20:18
EriC^^i'm going to go to a bank and make a bank account with a debit card soon so i can buy all my hearts desire of online goodies20:18
daftykins:>20:18
daftykinsooh you remind me i should check my digitalocean setup20:18
EriC^^ducasse: vpsserver.com i think, i wanted to try the 14 day free trial, i came across them by searching vps that take bitcoin20:18
ducassei use digitalocean, very happy with them. only paypal or card, though.20:19
EriC^^i tried them a while ago they were decent20:19
daftykinsyeah works well for me though20:20
EriC^^i didnt use the account though as my dad had paid for it from his paypal and i didnt want him liable in case the server gets hax0red or something20:20
daftykinsthey even immediately fixed it for me when i asked to have VAT removed, amazing20:20
EriC^^they were decent though, free snapshots of the vm's and stuff20:20
EriC^^i forget, by default they give a static ip?20:20
ducasseyes.20:20
EriC^^cool20:20
ducasseplus ipv6 prefix20:21
EriC^^yeah the support was good too20:21
daftykinsgot a couple o' websites and a VPN endpoint on my one DO VPS, up in London20:21
daftykinscheap rate for the site hosting of a small co. pays for the VPS and a bit of profit :)20:22
daftykinsin fact hey EriC^^ make another account on my referral link and we'll get money ;D20:23
EriC^^what's the link?20:23
daftykins"Everyone you refer gets $10 in credit. Once they’ve spent $25 with us, you'll get $25. There is no limit to the amount of credit you can earn through referrals."20:23
daftykinshttps://m.do.co/c/7597cb92ec2a20:23
ducasseEriC^^: you'll need paypal or credit card to continue using it, though20:24
EriC^^yeah ducasse i was just in that moment of "could it be.. *-*"20:24
EriC^^when i do get a debit card i will use it though ;)20:25
daftykins:D20:25
EriC^^are you still not smoking ducasse ?20:26
ducassebut you can play with it for two months, and then get a referral from me for another two months :)20:26
ducasseEriC^^: still only 3-4 a day, only 2 yesterday. slow progress.20:26
EriC^^i think you can only use a code once :(20:26
EriC^^cool20:27
daftykinsyeah you'd have to make a second account20:27
ducasseyep.20:27
daftykinsbut you could fire up the second and transfer the data between the two XD20:27
EriC^^i quit like 2 years ago for maybe a year straight20:27
EriC^^daftykins: i like the way you think20:28
EriC^^lol xD20:28
daftykins:D20:28
EriC^^i kind of convinced myself that smoking is kind of stupid if you think about it, all you're doing is inhaling SMOKE you know? like freaking smoke that could come out of a car's exhaust inside your own body20:30
EriC^^like, really it doesn't make any sense when you think of it as a "is this really sane?" kind of approach20:30
EriC^^after a year i was like fuck it, this is some vegan crap almost and just said life's too short i'm going to inhale smoke whatever20:30
EriC^^i remember i was thinking that smoking to begin with was kind of dumb, like when you first learn to smoke it feels unnatural and weird20:31
EriC^^lol xD20:31
EriC^^it does though, after i quit for like 4months or something, i put a cigarette in my mouth one day and it felt like an alien object or something20:31
daftykinsmakes you wonder how folks discovering tobacco decided to try it...20:32
EriC^^if you have a real paradigm shift of some sort like that, into the healthy lifestyle stuff you could quit cold turkey and never put it in your mouth again20:32
EriC^^yeah it is, it really is odd20:33
EriC^^i'm like "it's fun though, it tastes nice with drinks and stuff, whatever i'll just smoke"20:33
EriC^^really you're literally inhaling toxins and chemicals and really nasty stuff into your lungs20:33
EriC^^and the only calming effect it actually has is that you're forced to breath, you could just "take a 5min breather" and pretend to breath steadily and it would calm you better really20:34
EriC^^smoking if anything aggrevates shit, how do you think your body feels? you're stressed out, and you're shoving smoke down it20:34
EriC^^it's like wtf is going on20:35
ducassedaftykins: also, what about those coffee beans eaten by those small, furry creatures? "yeah, we'll dig these out of animal poo, grind them, boil and drink it!"20:35
Bashing-omInteresting what thoughts pop in the mind when you join a channel in the middle of the converstations :)20:36
EriC^^lol20:36
BluesKajleave me out ..I don't kike coffee that much20:36
BluesKajlike even20:36
EriC^^time to check on that beer in the freezer!20:39
Bashing-omThere are several things required for my well being ... I do run on caffine and nicotine ! Without them 'buntu does not work .20:39
EriC^^success!20:40
EriC^^it almost worked too well, the beer was a little frozen at the top, and the water in the cup was almost fully iced20:41
Bashing-omEriC^^: That is a buzz in store :)20:41
BluesKajstill use caffeine but in reasonable amounts, quit nicotine many yrs ago and kubuntu still works :-)20:41
ducassei need them in the morning to wake up, or i get totally antisocial and want to burn things.20:42
Bashing-omgrumpy grumpy grumpy is me ... till20:44
EriC^^i wonder wy my connection sucks so bad tonight20:47
EriC^^wow it is really slow tonight20:49
EriC^^i wonder if i reset my android phone maybe it's a tethering issue20:49
EriC^^brb20:49
ducasseEriC^^: the ip packets slow down in rain due to needing their tiny umbrellas.20:50
daftykinsducasse: haha i'm not familiar with said beans!20:50
ducassedaftykins: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kopi_Luwak20:54
EriC^^nope, still sucks20:54
daftykinsO_O20:55
ducassedaftykins: most expensive coffee in the world.20:55
ducassenot something i would touch myself, though. i'm sure the sellers laugh all the way to the bank.20:56
