[06:31] <lotuspsychje> good morning to all
[08:49] <ducasse> hi all
[08:52] <EriC^^> hi ducasse o/
[08:53] <ducasse> morning EriC^^, how's life?
[08:53] <EriC^^> morning, good thanks, you?
[08:55] <ducasse> good, just sat down with my tea, relaxing :)
[08:56] <EriC^^> :)
[09:08] <ducasse> EriC^^: have you heard anything about usb sticks needing mbr table to boot on uefi?
[09:08] <EriC^^> ducasse: no
[09:09] <ducasse> ok, somebody said so in #ubuntu the other day, i was just curious. thought it was weird.
[12:14] <daftykins> sounds rubbish to me :>
[12:18] <EriC^^> yup
[12:20] <daftykins> https://bethesda.net/en/article/52I2HyPCAowWG2ye8MKGU2/fallout-4-free-updates-high-resolution-texture-pack-and-ps4-pro-support
[12:20] <daftykins> gonna try this next week :>
[12:20] <BluesKaj> Ht folks
[12:21] <daftykins> \o
[12:22] <EriC^^> nice
[12:22] <EriC^^> i need to finish fallout4 i barely reached the diamond city place
[12:22] <EriC^^> the graphics on that site look good!
[12:22] <daftykins> i've barely got through the intro :>
[12:23] <EriC^^> lol
[12:23] <daftykins> more focussed on work for now, but i'll give it a look :>
[12:23] <daftykins> that will probably make my PC struggle
[12:24] <daftykins> weeeell it looks like this PC isn't showing up today unless i get called in the next 5 mins
[12:24] <EriC^^> i'm thinking of making a website/service
[12:25] <EriC^^> it's a website that gathers all the youtube comments and posts them from oldest to newest
[12:25] <EriC^^> i was thinking like youtubecomments.com , so someone would add to youtube.com/watch=.... and make it youtubecomments.com/watch=...
[12:26] <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 know
[12:27] <daftykins> mmm
[12:27] <daftykins> could be a way to make Google quite grumpy :> maybe you need to read through the API request info or something?
[12:28] <EriC^^> they have an api for getting comments, but it's restricted to 40 i think
[12:29] <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 small
[12:29] <EriC^^> but it needs to also get the "likes" below the comments so i'd have to add that myself somehow
[12:30] <EriC^^> i'll probably /join #python and nag there
[12:30] <EriC^^> haha
[12:30] <EriC^^> the legality of the matter is still there though
[12:30] <daftykins> XD
[12:31] <EriC^^> wish i had a friend that was a lawyer
[12:32] <EriC^^> the interesting thing is that there's no other site right now that does that
[12:32] <EriC^^> so it's either illegal or i dunno, i feel like it would be kind of useful
[12:32] <daftykins> must be because youtube comments are the sewer of the internet :D
[12:33] <EriC^^> lots of people like to see the old comments and have everything in one place
[12:33] <EriC^^> lol true
[12:33] <EriC^^> i tried it on some videos, the first 10 or so are all "FIRST!!!" "OMG I CANT BELIEVE IT IM FIRST!" etc
[12:34] <EriC^^> some people like to see their old comments on videos, so probably add a "username" search filter or something
[12:36] <EriC^^> i'm getting kind of low on the cash, so i'm kind of brainstorming ideas for websites
[12:37] <EriC^^> i was thinking to put a pop under ad, it's like $5 / 1000 views for some countries, not bad
[12:43] <EriC^^> another idea is kind of illegal
[12:44] <EriC^^> i noticed this site called movienight.ws he has movies up for online watching, and lots of ads on the site
[12:44] <daftykins> that's a bad EriC^^, do nice things ;)
[12:44] <daftykins> ah yeah i think i heard that's another one of those torrent wrappers
[12:44] <EriC^^> nope, he uses this site called filepup.net to upload his videos
[12:45] <EriC^^> the kicker is that filepup.net lets you upload anything anonymously, but they put their own ad before playing the video
[12:45] <EriC^^> so basically he has all these movies hosted there, he puts his ads on his site, and filepup adds their ads before the movie
[12:45] <EriC^^> so technically he isn't hosting a single illegal movie on his site, just links to filepup.net
[12:46] <EriC^^> it's kind of ingenious
[12:46] <EriC^^> i think legally he can't be liable for anything, right?
[12:47] <daftykins> hmm probably depends on the country, he's profiting from copyright violation, so i'm sure there's an angle there
[12:47] <EriC^^> this is how much money he might be making http://www.worthofweb.com/website-value/movienight.ws/
[12:48] <EriC^^> 67,000visits/day and he has like 3-4 ads per movie that pop under
[12:49] <EriC^^> his ads are for sites like alibaba and other companies i think they dont care really
[12:50] <daftykins> probably done through an intermediary so they don't even know
[12:50] <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"
[12:51] <daftykins> ah yeah common thing
[12:51] <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 videos
[12:51] <EriC^^> lol :>
[12:52] <EriC^^> next day the russian mafia is at your door
[12:52] <EriC^^> :P
[12:53] <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-$2
[12:54] <daftykins> wowzer
[12:54] <daftykins> DVD or bluray?
[12:54] <EriC^^> dvd
[12:54] <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 movie
[12:56] <EriC^^> anyways its a bad idea i guess
[12:57] <EriC^^> if it wasn't illegal it would be kind of nice, buy movies from there, upload them to filepup, make money
[12:57] <EriC^^> and people get to watch movies for free too (wouldn't use that guys filepup files though just the ones i get)
[12:58] <daftykins> ooh The Arrival is finally out, i missed that in the cinema
[12:58] <EriC^^> i recently watched a monster calls
[12:58] <EriC^^> it was pretty good
[12:59] <EriC^^> i wonder how illegal it is though, copyright violation
[13:00] <EriC^^> and the fact that i'm a citizen of the usa
[13:00] <daftykins> you are :o
[13:00] <EriC^^> yeah i was born there
[13:01] <EriC^^> my dad lives there
[13:01] <EriC^^> my parents are lebanese both of them though
[13:03] <EriC^^> if i made a site about ubuntu and stuff like that
[13:04] <daftykins> posts 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/ month
[13:04] <EriC^^> lol
[13:04] <EriC^^> i wish people used ubuntu instead of windows i'd probably do that for sure
[13:05]  * daftykins pats Windows
[13:06] <daftykins> btw 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 o0
[13:06] <daftykins> you need a social networking hooked mother with plenty of free time :D
[13:06] <EriC^^> haha
[13:07] <daftykins> ah modern connections are ace, 5.5MB/sec down i'm getting, 26 mins for 9GB
[13:07] <daftykins> brb
[13:07] <EriC^^> cool, ok
[13:12] <pauljw> Hi everyone
[13:12] <EriC^^> hi pauljw :)
[13:13] <pauljw> hey EriC^^
[13:13] <BluesKaj> hi pauljw
[13:13] <pauljw> hi BluesKaj :)
[13:23] <daftykins> pauljw: wb \o
[13:23] <pauljw> hey daftykins o/
[17:51] <baizon> livestream of the gitlab restoration... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nc0hPGerSd4
[19:32] <EriC^^> hey daftykins
[19:33] <EriC^^> about to watch the arrival
[19:33] <daftykins> :)
[19:33] <EriC^^> just noticed it in the list, seems cool :)
[19:33] <daftykins> maybe i should do that tonight too
[19:33] <EriC^^> imdb is 8.3
[19:34] <EriC^^> haven't had one of those in a while
[19:34] <EriC^^> heh :D
[19:35] <EriC^^> yeah you should, pop a beer and watch it
[19:35] <daftykins> yep before i have to move out so don't have my TV etc
[19:35] <EriC^^> too bad the beer is in the closet warm here
[19:35] <EriC^^> *youtubes how to chill beer instantly*
[19:35] <EriC^^> you're moving?
[19:36] <daftykins> i have to love elsewhere once the insurance work starts on my bathroom
[19:36] <daftykins> lol love, *live
[19:36] <EriC^^> oh ok
[19:36] <EriC^^> so just temporarily
[19:36] <daftykins> waiting on replies from my insurer right now, it's slow going
[19:36] <daftykins> yeah maybe 2 or 3 weeks, they have to put me in a hotel!
[19:37] <EriC^^> oh
[19:37] <EriC^^> that'll be fun
[19:37] <EriC^^> and interesting
[19:37] <daftykins> right now i have to walk to my clients house to shower
[19:37] <EriC^^> :D
[19:39] <EriC^^> oh man i cant imagine the videos im about to watch
[19:39] <EriC^^> i feel like one of them will be "reverse the polarity of your microwave and put the beer" 30secs to chill
[19:40] <EriC^^> xD
[19:40] <EriC^^> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6ncuv3gewI
[19:40] <daftykins> :D
[19:41] <EriC^^> ever heard of that one?
[19:43] <daftykins> nope!
[19:43] <daftykins> but then having ice on hand kind of makes the approach moot to begin
[19:44] <EriC^^> beer with ice?
[19:45] <EriC^^> is that an option?
[19:48] <daftykins> i was thinking if you had ice in a freezer you'd throw the drink in there :>
[19:48] <daftykins> that'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^^> aha
[19:48] <EriC^^> i think i'll do that, i dont think i even have more than 2 cubes of ice or so anyways
[19:56] <EriC^^> i think it works, i put 4 cubes and some salt and water
[19:56] <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 abit
[19:58] <daftykins> :D
[19:58] <daftykins> FOR SCIENCE!
[19:58] <EriC^^> haha
[19:59] <ducasse> EriC^^: stir the water, and you speed up the heat exchange :)
[19:59] <EriC^^> aha
[20:00] <EriC^^> the movie is kind of freezing at times
[20:00] <EriC^^> (pardon the pun)
[20:00] <daftykins> it's from a naughty source!
[20:00] <EriC^^> lol it's my connection i bet
[20:01] <EriC^^> damn isp *shakes fist*
[20:04] <EriC^^> crap
[20:05] <EriC^^> keeps buffering at times
[20:06] <EriC^^> did you watch a monster calls? it's a pretty good movie
[20:06] <daftykins> nah not heard of that one
[20:06] <daftykins> i don't even seem to watch what i do get
[20:07] <EriC^^> it was pretty good, it's about a kid whose mom is dying
[20:07] <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 fact
[20:08] <EriC^^> other than his mom's death, it's a pretty good story and the ending was pretty good
[20:08] <daftykins> hrmm
[20:08] <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 thing
[20:09] <EriC^^> it's on the movienight.ws as well
[20:10] <EriC^^> torrenting the arrival :D
[20:14] <EriC^^> the connection sucks too, it's going to take forever
[20:16] <EriC^^> ducasse: how was your day today?
[20:16] <daftykins> real shame i missed it when it was in the local cinema
[20:16] <daftykins> i was all prepared, then when i was finally free to go... they'd stopped showing it already!
[20:16] <EriC^^> it sucks when that happens
[20:16] <ducasse> EriC^^: exceptionally quiet, rebuilt a vps and that's about it :) you?
[20:17] <EriC^^> some theaters who dont sell that much keep big movies longer
[20:17] <daftykins> ducasse: \o
[20:17] <daftykins> mmm must be food o'clock, heading for half 8
[20:17] <EriC^^> ducasse: cool, i *tried* to get a vps they asked for a id/passport so no go
[20:17] <ducasse> i got a giftcard for the local cinema for my bday, need to keep an eye out for something to watch-
[20:18] <daftykins> O_O which provider was that?
[20:18] <ducasse> EriC^^: odd, where was that?
[20:18] <ducasse> daftykins: 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 goodies
[20:18] <daftykins> :>
[20:18] <daftykins> ooh you remind me i should check my digitalocean setup
[20:18] <EriC^^> ducasse: vpsserver.com i think, i wanted to try the 14 day free trial, i came across them by searching vps that take bitcoin
[20:19] <ducasse> i use digitalocean, very happy with them. only paypal or card, though.
[20:19] <EriC^^> i tried them a while ago they were decent
[20:20] <daftykins> yeah works well for me though
[20:20] <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 something
[20:20] <daftykins> they even immediately fixed it for me when i asked to have VAT removed, amazing
[20:20] <EriC^^> they were decent though, free snapshots of the vm's and stuff
[20:20] <EriC^^> i forget, by default they give a static ip?
[20:20] <ducasse> yes.
[20:20] <EriC^^> cool
[20:21] <ducasse> plus ipv6 prefix
[20:21] <EriC^^> yeah the support was good too
[20:21] <daftykins> got a couple o' websites and a VPN endpoint on my one DO VPS, up in London
[20:22] <daftykins> cheap rate for the site hosting of a small co. pays for the VPS and a bit of profit :)
[20:23] <daftykins> in fact hey EriC^^ make another account on my referral link and we'll get money ;D
[20:23] <EriC^^> what's the link?
[20:23] <daftykins> "Everyone you refer gets $10 in credit. Once theyâ€™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] <daftykins> https://m.do.co/c/7597cb92ec2a
[20:24] <ducasse> EriC^^: you'll need paypal or credit card to continue using it, though
[20:24] <EriC^^> yeah ducasse i was just in that moment of "could it be.. *-*"
[20:25] <EriC^^> when i do get a debit card i will use it though ;)
[20:25] <daftykins> :D
[20:26] <EriC^^> are you still not smoking ducasse ?
[20:26] <ducasse> but you can play with it for two months, and then get a referral from me for another two months :)
[20:26] <ducasse> EriC^^: still only 3-4 a day, only 2 yesterday. slow progress.
[20:26] <EriC^^> i think you can only use a code once :(
[20:27] <EriC^^> cool
[20:27] <daftykins> yeah you'd have to make a second account
[20:27] <ducasse> yep.
[20:27] <daftykins> but you could fire up the second and transfer the data between the two XD
[20:27] <EriC^^> i quit like 2 years ago for maybe a year straight
[20:28] <EriC^^> daftykins: i like the way you think
[20:28] <EriC^^> lol xD
[20:28] <daftykins> :D
[20:30] <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 body
[20:30] <EriC^^> like, really it doesn't make any sense when you think of it as a "is this really sane?" kind of approach
[20:30] <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 whatever
[20:31] <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 weird
[20:31] <EriC^^> lol xD
[20:31] <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 something
[20:32] <daftykins> makes 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 again
[20:33] <EriC^^> yeah it is, it really is odd
[20:33] <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 lungs
[20:34] <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 really
[20:34] <EriC^^> smoking if anything aggrevates shit, how do you think your body feels? you're stressed out, and you're shoving smoke down it
[20:35] <EriC^^> it's like wtf is going on
[20:35] <ducasse> daftykins: 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!"
[20:36] <Bashing-om> Interesting what thoughts pop in the mind when you join a channel in the middle of the converstations :)
[20:36] <EriC^^> lol
[20:36] <BluesKaj> leave me out ..I don't kike coffee that much
[20:36] <BluesKaj> like even
[20:39] <EriC^^> time to check on that beer in the freezer!
[20:39] <Bashing-om> There are several things required for my well being ... I do run on caffine and nicotine ! Without them 'buntu does not work .
[20:40] <EriC^^> success!
[20:41] <EriC^^> it almost worked too well, the beer was a little frozen at the top, and the water in the cup was almost fully iced
[20:41] <Bashing-om> EriC^^: That is a buzz in store :)
[20:41] <BluesKaj> still use caffeine but in reasonable amounts, quit nicotine many yrs ago and kubuntu still works :-)
[20:42] <ducasse> i need them in the morning to wake up, or i get totally antisocial and want to burn things.
[20:44] <Bashing-om> grumpy grumpy grumpy is me ... till
[20:47] <EriC^^> i wonder wy my connection sucks so bad tonight
[20:49] <EriC^^> wow it is really slow tonight
[20:49] <EriC^^> i wonder if i reset my android phone maybe it's a tethering issue
[20:49] <EriC^^> brb
[20:50] <ducasse> EriC^^: the ip packets slow down in rain due to needing their tiny umbrellas.
[20:50] <daftykins> ducasse: haha i'm not familiar with said beans!
[20:54] <ducasse> daftykins: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kopi_Luwak
[20:54] <EriC^^> nope, still sucks
[20:55] <daftykins> O_O
[20:55] <ducasse> daftykins: most expensive coffee in the world.
[20:56] <ducasse> not something i would touch myself, though. i'm sure the sellers laugh all the way to the bank.
[20:56] <daftykins> :)
[20:56] <daftykins> indeedy
[21:13] <ducasse> if anyone is interested, new humble book bundle: https://www.humblebundle.com/books/hacks-book-bundle
[21:16] <OerHeks> ducasse, awesome :-D
[21:17] <ducasse> OerHeks: there's usually something interesting in them :)
[21:17] <Bashing-om> ducasse: That one ^ is book marked from way back ,, good to keep in mind :)
[21:18] <OerHeks> but i want them in paperback, looks nice in my bookshelve
[21:18] <ducasse> Bashing-om: this bundle is only valid for two weeks
[21:18] <ducasse> agree about paper, though, that would be awesome
[21:23] <Bashing-om> ducasse: Yepper ; :( my old mark reletes " This Bundle is Over! " .
[21:24] <ducasse> Bashing-om: there's a new one each month, methinks.
[21:45] <Bashing-om> Uh Huh .. but as above . me wants on paper - nice for before retiring for the naunce light reading :)
[22:06] <ducasse> sleepytime here, have fun!
[22:07] <daftykins> g'night!
[22:08] <Bashing-om> ducasse: g'night! as daftykins advises :)
