[08:14] morning boys and girls. [09:10] Morning all [09:52] Good morning all! Happy Tuesday, and happy Extraterrestrial Culture Day! 😃 👽 [10:01] JamesTait: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d27gTrPPAyk [10:50] Any one recommend a low profile graphics card to out to 3 devices === diplo_ is now known as diplo [12:02] 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 [12:08] Found a radeon card for £45 that someone runs 14.04 nicely on [12:08] no gaming involved, just work [12:09] hi [12:21] SebthreeBQM10HD: hello [12:21] diplo: fair enough [12:22] Sure someone else used to run one here maybe bigcalm or moodoo ? [12:23] Don't see either very often anymore [12:23] You still tinkering in python davmor2 ? [12:24] diplo: when I can pretty much too busy nowadays to do much of anything :) [12:24] 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] 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 [12:25] Just wondering best practice of loading them if anyone has suggestions [12:25] File is in /etc/site.conf and has our software variables in it [12:26] davmor2, hi [12:26] I've hardcoded it using os.environ atm [12:28] 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 [12:31] 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 [12:44] diplo: mark has a MSI GTX 1050Ti LP [12:51] * diplo looks it up, thanks [12:52] Not sure they'll spend that much on me but looks good! :) [14:00] hi [14:02] hi [14:07] my faith has been rewarded... nokia releasing a new 3310... \o/ https://www.yahoo.com/tech/nokia-3310-appear-mwc-2017-014313803.html [14:11] zmoylan-pi, what's the 3310 ? [14:12] zmoylan-pi: I bet you can't use it as a hammer though [14:13] SebthreeBQM10HD: a phone from the good ye olde days [14:13] all phones can be used as a hammer... once... :-) [14:13] the nokia just increased the number a smidge [14:13] back had a crash [14:13] zmoylan-pi: the 3310 could always be used as a hammer that's the difference [14:14] You could use a 3310 in the construction of a nuclear device, and it'd still work after detonation [14:14] i used my nokia n70 to bang in nails to annoy my boss [14:15] oh [14:15] 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] SebthreeBQM10HD: Are you too young to remember 3310s? [14:15] it is 17 years old... [14:15] Seeker`: you know the whole Starwars defence plan was to just drop them on nukes to take them out right ;) [14:15] probably a bit to young to reember them then [14:15] what? no! you must be lying [14:15] if a phone is about 17 years old [14:15] I won't remember it [14:16] but I am not that young [14:16] zmoylan-pi: I got mine, like, a few years ago, I'm sure of it [14:16] light blue [14:16] i still see them for sale in phone shops around dublin [14:17] maybe one of the old ones that can buy on amazon [14:17] I think I preferred my 3210, but the 3310 did last longer [14:18] My kids powered my 3310 up that has been in a draw for years powered off, still had power :D [14:18] down to half a charge... [14:18] haha about that! [14:18] 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... [15:09] Queenie opened the National Cybersex Centre today : https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/news/britain-enter-new-era-online-opportunity [15:09] oh, Cyber-Security, not Cyber Sexc [15:32] haha [15:32] ello popey [15:33] yo [15:42] 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 [15:43] of course those endpoint security products don't currently protect the WSL environment - it's effectively whitelisted atm afaict [15:44] 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 [20:29] Is there an Isle of Wight channel somewhere? [22:08] Hey Myrtti === Azelphur_ is now known as Azelphur [23:10] hey guys [23:10] recommendations on a reasonable developer workstation for home? [23:11] best ubuntu vendor in the uk to buy from?
