| diplo_ | Any one recommend a low profile graphics card to out to 3 devices | 10:50 |
| === diplo_ is now known as diplo | ||
| davmor2 | diplo: I think you are basically needing to look to nvidia for that kinda spec, although in theory intel should do it, but meh. You might also have to chain hdmi too | 12:02 |
| diplo | Found a radeon card for £45 that someone runs 14.04 nicely on | 12:08 |
| diplo | no gaming involved, just work | 12:08 |
| SebthreeBQM10HD | hi | 12:09 |
| davmor2 | SebthreeBQM10HD: hello | 12:21 |
| davmor2 | diplo: fair enough | 12:21 |
| diplo | Sure someone else used to run one here maybe bigcalm or moodoo ? | 12:22 |
| diplo | Don't see either very often anymore | 12:23 |
| diplo | You still tinkering in python davmor2 ? | 12:23 |
| davmor2 | diplo: when I can pretty much too busy nowadays to do much of anything :) | 12:24 |
| diplo | I've written a script that runs as a user, but occasionally needs to be ran as root ( email program that creates an email file in a proprietary format to send using the systems email ) | 12:24 |
| diplo | But I need to load some variables for site directories from tthat user that's stored in a config file that we load on login, we don't want to load these under root | 12:24 |
| diplo | Just wondering best practice of loading them if anyone has suggestions | 12:25 |
| diplo | File is in /etc/site.conf and has our software variables in it | 12:25 |
| SebthreeBQM10HD | davmor2, hi | 12:26 |
| diplo | I've hardcoded it using os.environ atm | 12:26 |
| davmor2 | diplo: easiest way would be to load the config as a script would be my best bet, if user=root do xyx if user != root do abc. Can't think of a more sensible way around it without having ~/configs for each user added to Skel with a more advanced one for root which would be more secure | 12:28 |
| diplo | yeah we load /etc/site.conf for all normal users just not root, but changes paths on different customer sites. My current think is to read /etc/site.conf for the two variables I need and populate with os.environ | 12:31 |
| popey | diplo: mark has a MSI GTX 1050Ti LP | 12:44 |
| * diplo looks it up, thanks | 12:51 | |
| diplo | Not sure they'll spend that much on me but looks good! :) | 12:52 |
| SebthreeBQM10HD | hi | 14:00 |
| SebthreeBQM10HD | hi | 14:02 |
| zmoylan-pi | my faith has been rewarded... nokia releasing a new 3310... \o/ https://www.yahoo.com/tech/nokia-3310-appear-mwc-2017-014313803.html | 14:07 |
| SebthreeBQM10HD | zmoylan-pi, what's the 3310 ? | 14:11 |
| davmor2 | zmoylan-pi: I bet you can't use it as a hammer though | 14:12 |
| davmor2 | SebthreeBQM10HD: a phone from the good ye olde days | 14:13 |
| zmoylan-pi | all phones can be used as a hammer... once... :-) | 14:13 |
| zmoylan-pi | the nokia just increased the number a smidge | 14:13 |
| SebthreeBQM10HD | back had a crash | 14:13 |
| davmor2 | zmoylan-pi: the 3310 could always be used as a hammer that's the difference | 14:13 |
| Seeker` | You could use a 3310 in the construction of a nuclear device, and it'd still work after detonation | 14:14 |
| zmoylan-pi | i used my nokia n70 to bang in nails to annoy my boss | 14:14 |
| SebthreeBQM10HD | oh | 14:15 |
| zmoylan-pi | i did last year see a nokia with a broken screen. the person had run into a skip and the nokia took the full impact on his hip. still worked though | 14:15 |
| Seeker` | SebthreeBQM10HD: Are you too young to remember 3310s? | 14:15 |
| zmoylan-pi | it is 17 years old... | 14:15 |
| davmor2 | Seeker`: you know the whole Starwars defence plan was to just drop them on nukes to take them out right ;) | 14:15 |
| SebthreeBQM10HD | probably a bit to young to reember them then | 14:15 |
| Seeker` | what? no! you must be lying | 14:15 |
| SebthreeBQM10HD | if a phone is about 17 years old | 14:15 |
| SebthreeBQM10HD | I won't remember it | 14:15 |
| SebthreeBQM10HD | but I am not that young | 14:16 |
| Seeker` | zmoylan-pi: I got mine, like, a few years ago, I'm sure of it | 14:16 |
| foobarry | light blue | 14:16 |
| zmoylan-pi | i still see them for sale in phone shops around dublin | 14:16 |
| SebthreeBQM10HD | maybe one of the old ones that can buy on amazon | 14:17 |
| Seeker` | I think I preferred my 3210, but the 3310 did last longer | 14:17 |
| diplo | My kids powered my 3310 up that has been in a draw for years powered off, still had power :D | 14:18 |
| zmoylan-pi | down to half a charge... | 14:18 |
| diplo | haha about that! | 14:18 |
| zmoylan-pi | 3 years ago i brought my nokia e61 to hospital with me as a backup phone. ended up using it for 3 days when i got seperated from my chargers. it hadn't been charged for over a year... | 14:18 |
| diddledan | Queenie opened the National Cybersex Centre today : https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/news/britain-enter-new-era-online-opportunity | 15:09 |
| diddledan | oh, Cyber-Security, not Cyber Sexc | 15:09 |
| popey | haha | 15:32 |
| diddledan | ello popey | 15:32 |
| popey | yo | 15:33 |
| diddledan | thinking about WSL (Bash on Ubuntu on Windows) - I'm thinking that enterprises would love that to be available for their users who need some form of Linux tooling so that they can use their Windows-based endpoint security products to protect the Linux environments and ensure compliance by running the tools via WSL rather than an unprotected real-linux | 15:42 |
| diddledan | of course those endpoint security products don't currently protect the WSL environment - it's effectively whitelisted atm afaict | 15:43 |
| diddledan | also Group Policy via Active Directory can be used to enforce firewall rules on the Windows systems where they can't touch a real-linux | 15:44 |
