zmoylan-piwell in rogue a D was a dragon :-)01:59
zmoylan-piit was a simpler time :-)02:00
diddledanI used to play this: http://playdosgamesonline.com/air-traffic-controller.html02:01
zmoylan-piit's amazing how lost you can get when playing games like that02:03
diddledanyey, I just landed a plane02:03

daftykins;)04:18
zmoylan-pi -      *04:25
daftykinsooh i see what you did there04:25
daftykinsthis is the supermarket by me, what situation do you think this ever helps in? https://www.channelislands.coop/food-stores/guernsey/locale-royal-terrace/shop-collect/04:26
zmoylan-pisomeone who realises that they have more shopping to do and can have the supermarket hold their bags till they come back instead of dragging a weeks shopping in bags with them?04:28
zmoylan-pisomeone who got a lift there and can have the supermarket hold their stuff till their lift comes to pick them up?04:29
zmoylan-pii suspect if they're offering it then they've been asked for it a lot04:31
diddledan      -*04:34
diddledandamn04:34
diddledanoh wait, was that an apple or a mushroom?!04:35
diddledan      --04:35
diddledanit was an apple! \o/04:35
daftykinszmoylan-pi: ja it's kinda weird though, it's like a delivery service that's waiting for the invention of the wheel04:35
diddledandaftykins: I got guernsey butter this week :-)04:36
daftykinsdiddledan: zomg multiplayer mode! heh me and an old gf both had the nokia 8210 which could do that over infrared actually04:36

daftykinsvewy gewd04:36
diddledantis tastysickle04:37
daftykinsthat stuff spread on a good bit o' Guernsey Gache, ooh yes04:37
zmoylan-pia few months ago a weird gizmo to help people put a sock on appeared on reddit... they couldn't understand why anyone would buy/use such a thing... because they're young healthy people who don't have knackered joints yet04:37
diddledanlol @ knackered joints04:37
diddledanI'm not there _yet_04:38
zmoylan-pibut you will if you live long enough04:38
diddledanI'm surprised I haven't had any RSI yet04:38
zmoylan-pii started to have rsi in 80s but i just changed how i positioned keyboards and am very careful how i place them04:38
zmoylan-piwhen you consider how ancient typewriters were in use for decades pre keyboards and there was no reported rsi04:39
daftykinshrmm you'd almost expect more mechanically induced fatigue04:40
zmoylan-pii was actually given the sock gizmo at my hospital when i got a hip replacement as well as having to attent a class with 10 other people on how to use it04:40
diddledangroup humiliation ftw!04:41
zmoylan-pii /think/ because of the different height of the rows of ancient keyboards it changed the hands position enough to prevent rsi04:41
zmoylan-piall over 70 and for some it was their 3-4 day of trying to use it whereas as some just over 40 i got through it in <hour04:43
daftykinshttps://teganhowardfood.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/dsc_0112.jpg04:43
daftykinsdiddledan: ^ mmm04:43

daftykinsoooooh yes04:44
* zmoylan-pi makes note to get soda bread later...04:45
zmoylan-pioh wait... today is pi day... sortof04:49
daftykinsnot sure i've had the pleasure04:49
daftykinsdoes that mean you have to give your Pi the night off?04:49
zmoylan-piwell only if you allow the american date system to exist;04:49
daftykins14th month!? eh :D04:50
zmoylan-piit's 2017. 03.1404:50
daftykinsoh of course04:52

zmoylan-pi*they *never* have04:53
daftykins*       _|04:55
diddledan*      __04:56
zmoylan-pia few months back i got ms dos snake running on a new version of basic... ran a smidge too fast even at slowest setting on modern hardware :-)04:56
daftykins:D04:58
zmoylan-pispotted a lot more ancient nokias for sale recently... they seem to have been moved from bottom and back shelves to front and centre... maybe it's snakes time to be most played game again :-)05:02
daftykinshehe05:09

SuperMattslack's pretty darn good. It really does help intra-team communications09:18
davmor2SuperMatt: rocketchat09:20

davmor2diplo: sudo snap install rocketchat done ;)09:22
diploAgain... they'd need to use it...09:22
davmor2diplo: :)09:22
diploI set up an internal messaging app as per request from my boss09:22
davmor2diplo: your boss uses it to tell you things are broken right?09:23
diplousing xmpp, had me and my colleague on it, sent an email to head office with instructions and how he wanted to proceed, never heard back :)09:23
diploNope! He just doesn't follow through with anything09:23
diploThey will suffer soon though, as 85% of my dev happens on a PC I brought in from home. It's going home Friday :P09:24
davmor2diplo: hahahaha09:25
foobarryi do need to rewrite my bot in python though :\09:25
davmor2diplo: is this sorry I needed my pc back at home so now I have nothing to work on in an attempt for them to buy you a new machine09:25
diploYes davmor2 - I've been asking nicely for months now..09:26
davmor2diplo: don't forget to over spec it09:27
diploI have a dozen times09:28
brobostigonmorning boys and girls.09:28
diploI basically spin up VM's left right and centre testing setups/ansible deployments/backup testing etc. I ask for areplacement drive and they don't do that either, so I bring one from home09:28

MooDoodavmor2: he's 9 in sept12:32
diploOne of our customers brother in law is tech savvy apparently, well I just scanned their fixed IP. EVERY port is open on the router, apart from the 2 we need :P13:03
diploI told them about this Thursday last week13:03
MooDoodiplo: yay13:08
diploI just don't know how to deap with these people13:09
MooDoodiplo: I had to go to see someone yesterday "press ok to restart outlook" What do I do next?13:09
zmoylan-piof course after they open those 2 ports and they're hacked it will be your fault :-P13:09
diploI can't understand why people won't let us just manage it for them, even my colleagues may not screw up that bad13:10
diploOf course zmoylan-pi13:10
diploI've tried to get my boss to update t&c's about if they have control of stuff13:11
diploMooDoo: They are even worse, couldn't remote in with something like teamviewer ?13:11
MooDoodiplo: yeah I could, but it's only a 5 second walk to their desk to press a button and make them feel stupid13:12
diploAh right, internal people are even worse!13:12
diploAnyone going to fosstalks in june ?13:13
MooDoolooks good - http://www.fosstalk.com/13:14
diployeah, debating going to my first one.. always falls when I have kids on any of these talks13:17
MooDoodiplo: same here, and another part of the country lol13:28
diploWell that's what you get for living up there, I'll be up next week or the week after, tis a long drive though :(13:28
MooDooyup13:29
AzelphurJust ordered a R7 1700, new board and RAM, along with a new CPU block :)14:36
Azelphurapparently the 1700 clock for clock is the same as the 1800x, and there's no binning going on.14:36
diddledanAzelphur: you gone AMD?14:39
Azelphuryep, team red \o/14:39
diddledan:-o14:39
diddledanblue!14:39
MooDoosomeone has to I suppose14:39
Azelphurblue keep on doing lame things14:39
diddledanI like my intel ethernet cards14:40
diddledanI35014:40
diddledanthey're purdy14:40
Azelphuryea, they make good ethernet cards14:40
diddledanI'm miffed that my atom is gonna die at some point14:40
Azelphurbut they keep on locking down features on the CPU that I want to use, and AMD is better bang for buck right now14:40
diddledan(I got an AsrockRack C2750D4I which is affected by the low-pin-count bug)14:41
Azelphurspecially once I clock it up to 4+ghz :)14:41
diddledanI like that the Ryzens are all 8core/16threads *drool*14:41
Azelphurme too14:42
diddledanalthough drooling in the PC case while you're assembling the thing is probably a bad idea14:42
Azelphurtrue14:43
davmor2Azelphur: let us know how it performs16:03
Azelphurwill do, although I'm running arch now, I hear it has some issues on the older kernel Ubuntu uses16:03
davmor2Azelphur: how old is an old kernel I'm on 4.10.0.11.1316:05
Azelphurah, I think 4.10 is good16:06
Azelphur4.11 is even better16:06
davmor2Azelphur: and that will likely be on xenial in a few months after release of zesty and the trunk just continues :D16:07
davmor2diddledan: regarding systemd-boot it only works on UEFI systems so people with bioses ummm well that would need to fallback to grub2 right, so there would need to be two bootloaders installed and running by default and just hope they don't ever clash right :D17:43
diddledanAzelphur: now don't you love those version numbers where they just tack-on another .xx to the end instead of incrementing one of the numbers already there?!19:28
MartijnVdS1.2.3.4.5.6.7?19:28
diddledanexactly!19:28
MartijnVdSwe've been stripping parts at work19:29
MartijnVdSwe're almost at Chrome versioning19:29
