| Langjan | Who is the hexchat settings expert? | 18:42 |
| smile | Hi :) | 18:51 |
| Langjan | Hi smile how are you keeping? | 18:51 |
| smile | Hi Langjan, I'm doing mostly okay :) No major issues to speak of, how are you? | 18:52 |
| kulelu88 | Langjan: what's the problem and we shall answer | 18:52 |
| Langjan | kulelu88, I cannot get it to keep previous chats to scroll back to | 19:09 |
| Langjan | I have ticked everything in logging, no change | 19:10 |
| kulelu88 | Langjan: Settings > Preferences > Logging | 19:10 |
| kulelu88 | your scrollback lines must be increased to as much as you can Langjan | 19:10 |
| nsnzero | evening guys | 19:11 |
| Langjan | Its on 500 | 19:11 |
| Langjan | hi nsnzero | 19:11 |
| nsnzero | hi Langjan and kulelu88 | 19:11 |
| kulelu88 | so that means you've reached the 500 lines Langjan | 19:11 |
| kulelu88 | yo nsnzero | 19:11 |
| Langjan | It only shows the current day | 19:12 |
| nsnzero | Langjan: what client you using ? | 19:12 |
| Langjan | sorry nsnzero, client? | 19:13 |
| kulelu88 | create log-files Langjan | 19:13 |
| kulelu88 | nsnzero: hexchat | 19:13 |
| nsnzero | program - hexchat is a irc client | 19:14 |
| Langjan | ok thks nsnzero - jargon comes slow to ballies | 19:14 |
| Langjan | client is buyer to me | 19:15 |
| kulelu88 | Langjan: it comes from client/server | 19:15 |
| nsnzero | Langjan: my apologies - i will refrain from using tech speak | 19:15 |
| Langjan | ok | 19:15 |
| Langjan | kulelu88, create log files here: %n/%c.log ? | 19:17 |
| kulelu88 | Langjan: that is just how the log-file name will look. see the button "open data folder" will take you to the logs | 19:18 |
| nsnzero | sorry Langjan i cant seem to remember hexchat settings - i use irssi and weechat | 19:18 |
| Langjan | #ubuntu-za.log? | 19:20 |
| Langjan | Let me check it | 19:21 |
| kulelu88 | Langjan: leave the name as-is there. the log will be in: config/hexchat/logs/freenode/ | 19:21 |
| Langjan | No I have not got it right yet | 19:22 |
| nsnzero | Langjan: what do you want to check in the log file ? | 19:23 |
| kulelu88 | there won't be any logs currently. the data will be lost (IIRC) | 19:23 |
| Langjan | nsnzero, I just want to be able to scroll back to the previous session's chats | 19:25 |
| Langjan | nsnzero, the option "display scrollback from previous session" is ticked with 3 000 scrollback lines but every new session starts from scratch | 19:29 |
| nsnzero | i do see an option to show logs on joining a channel | 19:31 |
| Langjan | Log filename is #ubuntu-za.log - maybe this is where I went wroong but dont know how to edit it. Guide says Server/channel/network | 19:31 |
| kulelu88 | you shouldn't edit the logfile. it it just to log data | 19:32 |
| Langjan | OK kulelu88 I have reset it to what it was | 19:35 |
| Kilos | night all. sleep tight. i gotta leave at 5 am for hospital to copd clinic for meds. sigh | 19:36 |

| Langjan | 'bye all | 19:44 |
| Langjan | thanks nsnzero you too | 19:44 |
| Langjan | wanted to wait up for the sevens but another two hours... | 19:44 |
| Langjan | Maybe I'll get up again but then must retire now | 19:45 |
| kulelu88 | wow, some dude just threatened to hell-ban me from a channel 0.o | 19:55 |
| nsnzero | what were you tying there | 19:56 |
| nsnzero | *typing | 19:56 |
| kulelu88 | nothing. the guy accused me of being a nazi because I have 88 in my username | 19:57 |
| nsnzero | that is just madness | 20:00 |
| chesedo | lol, the likes of some people | 20:02 |
| nsnzero | hi chesedo | 20:03 |
| nsnzero | lots of crazies in the world | 20:03 |
| kulelu88 | it wasn't some random either. this was a guy from a big IRC channel | 20:04 |
| nsnzero | i was reading this article on amd vs intel - but i always scroll down to the comments first | 20:06 |
| kulelu88 | intel and AMD share a closer relationship than people know | 20:06 |
| nsnzero | reading the first couple of comments verifies the facts in the article | 20:07 |
| nsnzero | but these 2 guys where giving it a go - then a couple other joined in | 20:07 |
| nsnzero | articles are like the newspaper , comments are the comics in the newspaper | 20:09 |
| kulelu88 | as I understand, comments on local news-sites were so toxic that most companies/providers switched them off | 20:10 |
| nsnzero | i will never forget my semprom processor - its was fast and the board had a nvidia chipset - geforce 2 | 20:11 |
| nsnzero | amd released their ryzen cpu / apu - so far its on par with the i7 but alot cheaper | 20:12 |
| * nsnzero wonders if he will ever see a 8 core laptop at a reasonable price | 20:14 | |
| nsnzero | goodnight guys - got work to look forward to tomorrow | 20:15 |
| superfly | kulelu88: yup, News24 and IOL both switched off comments because of the mud slinging | 20:17 |
| * superfly can remember the first iteration of comments on IOL articles, because he was working for them | 20:17 | |
| kulelu88 | superfly: IIRC, the forums on mybb are toxic also | 20:17 |
| superfly | kulelu88: I haven't done much in the forums | 20:18 |
| MaNI | well thats their excuse at least, it's not like they put much effort into bringing it under control before they did it | 20:18 |
| superfly | I've occasionally looked for help on there, and generally hung around the Linux forum (until there were too many Windows snobs who wanted to convert everyone to Windows) | 20:18 |
| kulelu88 | working with objects/software is way nicer than having to deal with people and their agendas | 20:18 |
| MaNI | new24 comment section was hilariously badly done/managed | 20:19 |
| superfly | totally | 20:19 |
| MaNI | *news24 | 20:19 |
| kulelu88 | I'd rather argue about functions vs. OOP than white vs. black . the former matters little and coders will still be friends. the latter, well ... | 20:19 |
| MaNI | and it's not like they don't still publish a bunch of articles that are just mud slinging still anyway, so who knows what the real agenda is | 20:20 |
| kulelu88 | SA media does love doom-and-gloom stories though. "the country is about to crumble" each time something happens in the ANC | 20:21 |
| MaNI | there were often comments pointing out how wildly inaccurate/flamebaitish/totally incorrect the articles were - I found those quite insightful often | 20:21 |
| MaNI | I bet thats the actual reason they wanted the comments gone | 20:22 |
| MaNI | lets be honest, the quality of journalism on news24 is pretty rubbish :( | 20:22 |
| kulelu88 | what is that rule about experts calling out poor journalism in their(experts) area of expertise, but then turning the page and believing every other article? | 20:23 |
| MaNI | "The Murray Gell-Mann Amnesia effect" apparently | 20:24 |
| kulelu88 | thanks for helping me find it MaNI . | 20:26 |
| MaNI | either way, the comments provided a nice way to allow for "the other side" of the story to be heard, and/or for wild inaccuracies to be pointed out etc. so I trust it even less as a news source now | 20:27 |
| MaNI | it's a pity that they leapt on the bickering racists as an excuse to remove it, instead of simply doing some sensible bans in conjunction with a karma system or similar | 20:27 |
| kulelu88 | voting rings are the problem then. a bunch of agend-ists will just upvote each other repeatedly. | 20:37 |
| superfly | MaNI: Let me tell you what the news companies are really interested in: money. they don't actually care about the news. | 20:56 |
| superfly | inetpro, chesedo, paddatrapper: I've just moved OpenLP over to our own hosted instance of WeKan. I've also made my own personal version on my server. Are you guys interested in moving Ubuntu-ZA to WeKan? | 22:48 |
