| daftykins | \o | 03:39 |
| daftykins | how goes it, sir? | 03:39 |
| ball | Not bad thanks. How about you? | 03:41 |
| daftykins | yeah not too shabby... slow progress on my bathroom water leak insurance job though - awaiting quotes for the work right now | 03:49 |
| ball | hello ubot9 | 03:51 |
| ball | Ugh. Plumbing is high on the list of things I don't enjoy. | 03:51 |
| ball | (especially when it fails) | 03:52 |
| daftykins | oops didn't realise i never responded! | 04:46 |
| ball | That's ok | 04:46 |
| daftykins | yep don't mind the fix, but the hoop jumping is taking so long | 04:46 |
| daftykins | been without a shower for must be 5 weeks now too | 04:47 |
| daftykins | sole facilities in the place, so i have to go elsewhere | 04:47 |
| ball | Sounds inconvenient. | 05:02 |
| * ball downloads Ubuntu Server 16.04.2 | 05:05 | |
| daftykins | :) | 05:06 |
| daftykins | i always stuck to the vanilla images myself so i didn't get an HWE kernel | 05:06 |
| daftykins | well, 16.04.1 stuck to the original too | 05:07 |
| ball | I don't know what an HWE is. | 05:08 |
| ball | ...but I'm sort of new to Linux. | 05:08 |
| ball | (I say "sort of" because the first time I installed it, Linux came on a stack of 5.25" 1200K floppies. | 05:09 |
| daftykins | ah in ubuntu, let's say an LTS release is a year in or so, the newer kernel and X stack in the newer release gets backported as a hardware enablement stack | 05:09 |
| daftykins | !hwe | 05:09 |
| lubotu3 | The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack | 05:09 |
| daftykins | :D how many of said floppies? | 05:10 |
| ball | I honestly don't remember. I do remember having to bolt a new floppy drive into my boss' desktop PC. | 05:10 |
| ball | (his existing drive was 360K) | 05:10 |
| daftykins | daym | 05:11 |
| daftykins | one of these days when my folks tidy the house up a bit more, the Apple II will need a test run - if any floppies can be found | 05:11 |
| ball | Someone recycled mine some years ago. | 05:18 |
| daftykins | a crime! | 05:33 |
| ball | I was quite disappointed at the time but I'm over it now. | 05:34 |
| daftykins | mmm that's the thing, there's a limit to the fond memories really | 05:35 |
| daftykins | we had some apricot 486's as kids, but the main ones CMOS battery had died and i don't even know how to configure a SCSI controller card by hand in such an ancient system | 05:35 |
| daftykins | so seeing it boot again could well take some hours of work | 05:35 |
| ball | Apricot built some lovely hardware back in the day. | 05:36 |
| daftykins | the machine in question originally had tapes of 10MB for a 'hard disk' that inserted on the front, but the drive died after a while so my dad got the local company to throw in the SCSI solution | 05:38 |
| daftykins | also had a second one that was floppy drive only :) good memories of Lemmings 1 etc | 05:38 |
| daftykins | right best sleep, ta-ra \o | 05:40 |
| ball | Sleep well! | 05:42 |
| knightwise | morning peeps | 07:33 |
| diplo | Morning all | 08:04 |
| knightwise | morning | 08:41 |
| SuperMatt | g'day | 08:42 |
| davmor2 | Morning all | 09:03 |
| davmor2 | isn't it a sign popey isn't here with how deathly quiet it is | 09:04 |
| popey | lies | 09:13 |
| davmor2 | morning popey how's your feet? | 09:15 |
| brobostigon | morning boys and girls. | 09:17 |
| davmor2 | 469.98 for an i7 laptop with 8gb what's the catch there then | 09:29 |
| diplo | Prices are coming down ? :) | 09:38 |
| brobostigon | thats basiclly almost all my monthly wage gone right there, if i were to buy that, :( | 09:41 |
| foobarry | the catch is that when the battery dies, you'll have to throw it away | 09:47 |
| foobarry | and hardly anything is upgradeable | 09:47 |
| * brobostigon holds up his nexus 4. | 09:50 | |

| diddledan | davmor2: that laptop even has an SSD | 10:59 |
| TwistedLucidity | What make? (I check the IRC log, didn't see it mentioned) | 11:07 |
| diddledan | TwistedLucidity: HP | 11:09 |
| diddledan | TwistedLucidity: it's a special offer on ebuyer | 11:09 |
| TwistedLucidity | Ah, prolly old gen. Still, a decent deal at that price I guess. | 11:10 |
| diddledan | it's a 6000series intel i6 | 11:10 |
| diddledan | i7 | 11:10 |
| diddledan | i.e. skylake | 11:10 |
| TwistedLucidity | Still better than my T430. :-) | 11:11 |
| diddledan | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCWn_zANcLo (there's swearing) | 11:26 |
| davmor2 | diddledan: for the price it is a ridiculous spec | 11:26 |
| knightwise | Yo peeps | 11:30 |
| diddledan | my gosh, buffy turns 20 this month. facebook is littered with posts telling me | 11:45 |
| diddledan | I wonder if anyone is working on fixing the vulnerability(ies) in encfs? | 11:53 |
| diddledan | (it warns you when you install it and asks if you really want it on ubuntu) | 11:54 |
| mretomo | #undernet | 17:02 |
| mretomo | chanel list | 17:03 |
| mretomo | [#undernet] | 17:04 |
| popey | davmor2: they ache | 17:22 |
| davmor2 | popey: no really I've no idea why it's not like you've been stood around all day for 3 days straight right? | 17:23 |
| foobarry | diddledan: encfs is bad? | 19:32 |
| diddledan | foobarry: according to the dialog when you apt install it | 19:33 |
| foobarry | http://askubuntu.com/questions/813290/encfs-insecure-what-to-use-now | 19:37 |
| diddledan | yeah those responses just repeat the same as the dialog | 19:42 |
| diddledan | I already knew all that | 19:42 |
| DJones | foobarry: diddledan: There are bugs in Linux.....uh oh, I was more concerned that popey was being replaced by a robot https://insights.ubuntu.com/wp-content/uploads/3047/Robot.png :) | 19:43 |
| DJones | Certanly wouldn't do the RAT again good | 19:44 |
| DJones | s/again/any/ | 19:44 |
| davmor2 | DJones: I don't know might make a great waiter | 19:47 |
| DJones | davmor2: Yeah, still waiting for the coffee I ordered 9 hours ago...... | 19:48 |
| foobarry | diddledan: i didn't :( sad now | 19:50 |
| foobarry | i am using encfs is certain situations | 19:51 |
| diddledan | lol: https://twitter.com/CiPHPerCoder/status/837390104805195777 | 19:52 |
| davmor2 | diddledan: that would be funny if it wasn't so true | 19:54 |
| foobarry | handy site: https://decentsecurity.com/#/malware-web-and-phishing-investigation/ | 19:55 |
| zmoylan-pi | no one is to hack yahoo until i blow this whistle even and i want to make this absolutely clear even if they hate marissa myers | 19:55 |
| diddledan | so dedupe is the opposite of redundancy? </troll> :-p | 22:31 |
| * diddledan accidentally hacks yahoo despite zmoylan-pi 's instructions | 22:31 | |
| zmoylan-pi | i thought it was the lite version of rm | 22:32 |
| * zmoylan-pi blows whistle to indicate a penalty against diddledan and causes a few yahoo servers to crash... | 22:32 | |
| ali1234 | did something happen with yahoo today? | 22:33 |
| ali1234 | or just in general? | 22:33 |
| diddledan | just in general I think | 22:33 |
| zmoylan-pi | in last few days i think there was another hack | 22:34 |
| diddledan | lol @ fakequote: https://twitter.com/delrayser/status/837430019752284161 | 22:34 |
| zmoylan-pi | http://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/03/02/yahoo_internal_hack_investigation_is_daming_marissa_mayer_loses/ | 22:36 |
| diddledan | wow | 22:41 |
| diddledan | that's damning | 22:41 |
| diddledan | re-rendering in HD of a 13second DS9 battle scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEUG_ibsZck | 22:58 |
| zmoylan-pi | i think in last 2 seasons of ds9 they had to move to cgi for effects iirc | 23:00 |
| zmoylan-pi | it was a pity they ignored ds9 when it came to making movies. best of the trek franchises to my mind | 23:01 |
| diddledan | it's difficult to keep coming-up with stories for a static point-in-space rather than a ship that can move - the reason DS9 and B5 were good series is because they had a long-running story rather than being truly episodic | 23:04 |
| diddledan | movies tend to be episodic so you have a start middle and end in every movie. more difficult to have long-running stories | 23:05 |
| zmoylan-pi | could easily have been what happened to garak when he got back home... | 23:07 |
| zmoylan-pi | they could even have done what babylon5 did with made for tv movies for their few spin off movies | 23:09 |
| diddledan | the S3 failure on tuesday was PEBKAC: https://aws.amazon.com/message/41926/ | 23:20 |
| zmoylan-pi | time to update their linkedin profile... :-P | 23:23 |
| diddledan | their solution is an "are you sure?" prompt | 23:23 |
| diddledan | $ kill-all-servers -y # -y bypasses the prompt because we all know that typing -y on the commandline is instinctive and truly reflects our intentinos | 23:24 |
| zmoylan-pi | so pipe y into the prompt... | 23:24 |
| zmoylan-pi | imagine the damage a disgruntled/off balance worker could do if they set out to maximise the damage | 23:31 |
| diddledan | noisy washing machine! >.< | 23:35 |
| diddledan | I think I must be keeping the neighbours awake | 23:35 |
| zmoylan-pi | i only do my laundry between 1100-2000 to avoid annoying neighbours | 23:37 |
| diddledan | sounds like it's done now | 23:40 |
| * zmoylan-pi moseys off for shower... | 23:41 | |
