[08:14] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[09:10] <davmor2> Morning all
[09:52] <JamesTait> Good morning all! Happy Tuesday, and happy Extraterrestrial Culture Day! 😃 👽

[10:50] <diplo_> Any one recommend a low profile graphics card to out to 3 devices
[12:02] <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
[12:08] <diplo> Found a radeon card for £45 that someone runs 14.04 nicely on
[12:08] <diplo> no gaming involved, just work
[12:09] <SebthreeBQM10HD> hi
[12:21] <davmor2> SebthreeBQM10HD: hello
[12:21] <davmor2> diplo: fair enough
[12:22] <diplo> Sure someone else used to run one here maybe bigcalm or moodoo ?
[12:23] <diplo> Don't see either very often anymore
[12:23] <diplo> You still tinkering in python davmor2 ?
[12:24] <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
[12:25] <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
[12:26] <SebthreeBQM10HD> davmor2, hi
[12:26] <diplo> I've hardcoded it using os.environ atm
[12:28] <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
[12:31] <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
[12:44] <popey> diplo: mark has a MSI GTX 1050Ti LP
[12:51]  * diplo looks it up, thanks
[12:52] <diplo> Not sure they'll spend that much on me but looks good! :)
[14:00] <SebthreeBQM10HD> hi
[14:02] <SebthreeBQM10HD> hi
[14:07] <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
[14:11] <SebthreeBQM10HD> zmoylan-pi, what's the 3310 ?
[14:12] <davmor2> zmoylan-pi: I bet you can't use it as a hammer though
[14:13] <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
[14:14] <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
[14:15] <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
[14:16] <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
[14:17] <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
[14:18] <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...
[15:09] <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
[15:32] <popey> haha
[15:32] <diddledan> ello popey
[15:33] <popey> yo
[15:42] <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
[15:43] <diddledan> of course those endpoint security products don't currently protect the WSL environment - it's effectively whitelisted atm afaict
[15:44] <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
[20:29] <lopta> Is there an Isle of Wight channel somewhere?
[22:08] <m0nkey_> Hey Myrtti
[23:10] <andylockran> hey guys
[23:10] <andylockran> recommendations on a reasonable developer workstation for home?
[23:11] <andylockran> best ubuntu vendor in the uk to buy from?
[23:12] <andylockran> ~
[23:13] <popey> Entroware are popular I hear
[23:37] <gabriele> can i set a timer to suspend my pc?
[23:40] <popey> gabriele: http://askubuntu.com/questions/113379/suspend-and-wake-pc-at-certain-time maybe?
[23:44] <gabriele> popey, there isn't a program?
[23:59] <charged> is it with the command "at" still, popey?
