[03:37] Mornin' [03:39] \o [03:39] how goes it, sir? [03:41] Not bad thanks. How about you? [03:49] yeah not too shabby... slow progress on my bathroom water leak insurance job though - awaiting quotes for the work right now [03:51] hello ubot9 [03:51] Ugh. Plumbing is high on the list of things I don't enjoy. [03:52] (especially when it fails) [04:46] oops didn't realise i never responded! [04:46] That's ok [04:46] yep don't mind the fix, but the hoop jumping is taking so long [04:47] been without a shower for must be 5 weeks now too [04:47] sole facilities in the place, so i have to go elsewhere [05:02] Sounds inconvenient. [05:05] * ball downloads Ubuntu Server 16.04.2 [05:06] :) [05:06] i always stuck to the vanilla images myself so i didn't get an HWE kernel [05:07] well, 16.04.1 stuck to the original too [05:08] I don't know what an HWE is. [05:08] ...but I'm sort of new to Linux. [05:09] (I say "sort of" because the first time I installed it, Linux came on a stack of 5.25" 1200K floppies. [05:09] 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] !hwe [05:09] The Ubuntu LTS enablement stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing LTS releases, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack [05:10] :D how many of said floppies? [05:10] I honestly don't remember. I do remember having to bolt a new floppy drive into my boss' desktop PC. [05:10] (his existing drive was 360K) [05:11] daym [05:11] 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 [05:18] Someone recycled mine some years ago. [05:33] a crime! [05:34] I was quite disappointed at the time but I'm over it now. [05:35] mmm that's the thing, there's a limit to the fond memories really [05:35] 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] so seeing it boot again could well take some hours of work [05:36] Apricot built some lovely hardware back in the day. [05:38] 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] also had a second one that was floppy drive only :) good memories of Lemmings 1 etc [05:40] right best sleep, ta-ra \o [05:42] Sleep well! [07:33] morning peeps [08:04] Morning all [08:41] morning [08:42] g'day [09:03] Morning all [09:04] isn't it a sign popey isn't here with how deathly quiet it is [09:13] lies [09:15] morning popey how's your feet? [09:17] morning boys and girls. [09:29] 469.98 for an i7 laptop with 8gb what's the catch there then [09:38] Prices are coming down ? :) [09:41] thats basiclly almost all my monthly wage gone right there, if i were to buy that, :( [09:47] the catch is that when the battery dies, you'll have to throw it away [09:47] and hardly anything is upgradeable [09:50] * brobostigon holds up his nexus 4. === JamesTait is now known as Guest34673 [09:55] Good morning all! Happy Thursday, and happy World Book Day! 😃 🕮 === Guest34673 is now known as JamesTait [10:59] davmor2: that laptop even has an SSD [11:07] What make? (I check the IRC log, didn't see it mentioned) [11:09] TwistedLucidity: HP [11:09] TwistedLucidity: it's a special offer on ebuyer [11:10] Ah, prolly old gen. Still, a decent deal at that price I guess. [11:10] it's a 6000series intel i6 [11:10] i7 [11:10] i.e. skylake [11:11] Still better than my T430. :-) [11:26] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCWn_zANcLo (there's swearing) [11:26] diddledan: for the price it is a ridiculous spec [11:30] Yo peeps [11:45] my gosh, buffy turns 20 this month. facebook is littered with posts telling me [11:53] I wonder if anyone is working on fixing the vulnerability(ies) in encfs? [11:54] (it warns you when you install it and asks if you really want it on ubuntu) [17:02] #undernet [17:03] chanel list [17:04] [#undernet] [17:22] davmor2: they ache [17:23] popey: no really I've no idea why it's not like you've been stood around all day for 3 days straight right? [19:32] diddledan: encfs is bad? [19:33] foobarry: according to the dialog when you apt install it [19:37] http://askubuntu.com/questions/813290/encfs-insecure-what-to-use-now [19:42] yeah those responses just repeat the same as the dialog [19:42] I already knew all that [19:43] 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 :) [19:44] Certanly wouldn't do the RAT again good [19:44] s/again/any/ [19:47] DJones: I don't know might make a great waiter [19:48] davmor2: Yeah, still waiting for the coffee I ordered 9 hours ago...... [19:50] diddledan: i didn't :( sad now [19:51] i am using encfs is certain situations [19:52] lol: https://twitter.com/CiPHPerCoder/status/837390104805195777 [19:54] diddledan: that would be funny if it wasn't so true [19:55] handy site: https://decentsecurity.com/#/malware-web-and-phishing-investigation/ [19:55] 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 [22:31] so dedupe is the opposite of redundancy? :-p [22:31] * diddledan accidentally hacks yahoo despite zmoylan-pi 's instructions [22:32] 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... [22:33] did something happen with yahoo today? [22:33] or just in general? [22:33] just in general I think [22:34] in last few days i think there was another hack [22:34] lol @ fakequote: https://twitter.com/delrayser/status/837430019752284161 [22:36] http://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/03/02/yahoo_internal_hack_investigation_is_daming_marissa_mayer_loses/ [22:41] wow [22:41] that's damning [22:58] re-rendering in HD of a 13second DS9 battle scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEUG_ibsZck [23:00] i think in last 2 seasons of ds9 they had to move to cgi for effects iirc [23:01] it was a pity they ignored ds9 when it came to making movies. best of the trek franchises to my mind [23:04] 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 [23:05] movies tend to be episodic so you have a start middle and end in every movie. more difficult to have long-running stories [23:07] could easily have been what happened to garak when he got back home... [23:09] they could even have done what babylon5 did with made for tv movies for their few spin off movies [23:20] the S3 failure on tuesday was PEBKAC: https://aws.amazon.com/message/41926/ [23:23] time to update their linkedin profile... :-P [23:23] their solution is an "are you sure?" prompt [23:24] $ 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] so pipe y into the prompt... [23:31] imagine the damage a disgruntled/off balance worker could do if they set out to maximise the damage [23:35] noisy washing machine! >.< [23:35] I think I must be keeping the neighbours awake [23:37] i only do my laundry between 1100-2000 to avoid annoying neighbours [23:40] sounds like it's done now [23:41] * zmoylan-pi moseys off for shower...
