=== MaNL is now known as MaNI [09:46] good morning all [17:43] evening all [17:58] morning nsnzero [18:05] hi superfly [18:06] * nsnzero wonders if there is a gui for dd [18:28] dd? [18:30] probably several [18:33] http://www.ubuntugeek.com/gdiskdump-gui-for-diskdump-dd.html [18:36] Hi everybody [18:38] hey oupa Langjan [18:39] hi kulelu88 hows the young man [18:39] goed oupa, how you doing? [18:39] fine thks [18:42] Who is the hexchat settings expert? [18:51] Hi :) [18:51] Hi smile how are you keeping? [18:52] Hi Langjan, I'm doing mostly okay :) No major issues to speak of, how are you? [18:52] Langjan: what's the problem and we shall answer [19:09] kulelu88, I cannot get it to keep previous chats to scroll back to [19:10] I have ticked everything in logging, no change [19:10] Langjan: Settings > Preferences > Logging [19:10] your scrollback lines must be increased to as much as you can Langjan [19:11] evening guys [19:11] Its on 500 [19:11] hi nsnzero [19:11] hi Langjan and kulelu88 [19:11] so that means you've reached the 500 lines Langjan [19:11] yo nsnzero [19:12] It only shows the current day [19:12] Langjan: what client you using ? [19:13] sorry nsnzero, client? [19:13] create log-files Langjan [19:13] nsnzero: hexchat [19:14] program - hexchat is a irc client [19:14] ok thks nsnzero - jargon comes slow to ballies [19:15] client is buyer to me [19:15] Langjan: it comes from client/server [19:15] Langjan: my apologies - i will refrain from using tech speak [19:15] ok [19:17] kulelu88, create log files here: %n/%c.log ? [19:18] 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] sorry Langjan i cant seem to remember hexchat settings - i use irssi and weechat [19:20] #ubuntu-za.log? [19:21] Let me check it [19:21] Langjan: leave the name as-is there. the log will be in: config/hexchat/logs/freenode/ [19:22] No I have not got it right yet [19:23] Langjan: what do you want to check in the log file ? [19:23] there won't be any logs currently. the data will be lost (IIRC) [19:25] nsnzero, I just want to be able to scroll back to the previous session's chats [19:29] nsnzero, the option "display scrollback from previous session" is ticked with 3 000 scrollback lines but every new session starts from scratch [19:31] i do see an option to show logs on joining a channel [19:31] 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 [19:32] you shouldn't edit the logfile. it it just to log data [19:35] OK kulelu88 I have reset it to what it was [19:36] night all. sleep tight. i gotta leave at 5 am for hospital to copd clinic for meds. sigh [19:37] lekker slaap oom Langjan [19:37] Go well Kilos and strongs for tomorrow [19:37] ty very much [19:37] i got more vit c [19:38] so stop nagging [19:38] hehe [19:38] night kilos - all the best [19:38] * Kilos waves [19:38] Great, now overdose [19:38] ty [19:38] Bye [19:40] nsnzero [19:43] nsnzero, I'm also quitting, chat later have a good evening [19:44] night Langjan - sleep well [19:44] 'bye all [19:44] thanks nsnzero you too [19:44] wanted to wait up for the sevens but another two hours... [19:45] Maybe I'll get up again but then must retire now [19:55] wow, some dude just threatened to hell-ban me from a channel 0.o [19:56] what were you tying there [19:56] *typing [19:57] nothing. the guy accused me of being a nazi because I have 88 in my username [20:00] that is just madness [20:02] lol, the likes of some people [20:03] hi chesedo [20:03] lots of crazies in the world [20:04] it wasn't some random either. this was a guy from a big IRC channel [20:06] i was reading this article on amd vs intel - but i always scroll down to the comments first [20:06] intel and AMD share a closer relationship than people know [20:07] reading the first couple of comments verifies the facts in the article [20:07] but these 2 guys where giving it a go - then a couple other joined in [20:09] articles are like the newspaper , comments are the comics in the newspaper [20:10] as I understand, comments on local news-sites were so toxic that most companies/providers switched them off [20:11] i will never forget my semprom processor - its was fast and the board had a nvidia chipset - geforce 2 [20:12] amd released their ryzen cpu / apu - so far its on par with the i7 but alot cheaper [20:14] * nsnzero wonders if he will ever see a 8 core laptop at a reasonable price [20:15] goodnight guys - got work to look forward to tomorrow [20:17] 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] superfly: IIRC, the forums on mybb are toxic also [20:18] kulelu88: I haven't done much in the forums [20:18] 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] 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] working with objects/software is way nicer than having to deal with people and their agendas [20:19] new24 comment section was hilariously badly done/managed [20:19] totally [20:19] *news24 [20:19] 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 ... [20:20] 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 [20:21] SA media does love doom-and-gloom stories though. "the country is about to crumble" each time something happens in the ANC [20:21] there were often comments pointing out how wildly inaccurate/flamebaitish/totally incorrect the articles were - I found those quite insightful often [20:22] I bet thats the actual reason they wanted the comments gone [20:22] lets be honest, the quality of journalism on news24 is pretty rubbish :( [20:23] 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? [20:24] "The Murray Gell-Mann Amnesia effect" apparently [20:26] thanks for helping me find it MaNI . [20:27] 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] 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 [20:37] voting rings are the problem then. a bunch of agend-ists will just upvote each other repeatedly. [20:56] MaNI: Let me tell you what the news companies are really interested in: money. they don't actually care about the news. [22:48] 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?
