[01:57]  * zmoylan-pi continues to play 80s games were the graphics were too crude to indicate gender of players...
[01:59] <diddledan> https://pics.me.me/when-i-was-your-age-this-was-a-dragon-and-13758381.png
[01:59] <zmoylan-pi> well in rogue a D was a dragon :-)
[02:00] <zmoylan-pi> it was a simpler time :-)
[02:01] <diddledan> I used to play this: http://playdosgamesonline.com/air-traffic-controller.html
[02:03] <zmoylan-pi> it's amazing how lost you can get when playing games like that
[02:03] <diddledan> yey, I just landed a plane
[02:14] <diddledan> microsoft's racks in their datacentres: https://channel9.msdn.com/Series/Microsoft-Global-Datacenters/Microsoft-Project-Olympus
[02:19] <diddledan> don't you love russian boats? https://twitter.com/AeroDork/status/841473611521236992
[02:39] <zmoylan-pi> i can't wait to see the new caspian sea monster
[04:18] <daftykins> let's play IRC snake! i'll start
[04:18] <daftykins> -       *
[04:18] <daftykins> ;)
[04:25] <zmoylan-pi>  -      *
[04:25] <daftykins> ooh i see what you did there
[04:26] <daftykins> this 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/
[04:28] <zmoylan-pi> someone 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?
[04:29] <zmoylan-pi> someone who got a lift there and can have the supermarket hold their stuff till their lift comes to pick them up?
[04:31] <zmoylan-pi> i suspect if they're offering it then they've been asked for it a lot
[04:34] <diddledan>       -*
[04:34] <diddledan> damn
[04:35] <diddledan> oh wait, was that an apple or a mushroom?!
[04:35] <diddledan>       --
[04:35] <diddledan> it was an apple! \o/
[04:35] <daftykins> zmoylan-pi: ja it's kinda weird though, it's like a delivery service that's waiting for the invention of the wheel
[04:36] <diddledan> daftykins: I got guernsey butter this week :-)
[04:36] <daftykins> diddledan: zomg multiplayer mode! heh me and an old gf both had the nokia 8210 which could do that over infrared actually
[04:36] <diddledan> waitrose!
[04:36] <daftykins> diddledan: yay! proper gold/silver wrapper?
[04:36] <diddledan> yup
[04:36] <daftykins> vewy gewd
[04:37] <diddledan> tis tastysickle
[04:37] <daftykins> that stuff spread on a good bit o' Guernsey Gache, ooh yes
[04:37] <zmoylan-pi> a 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 yet
[04:37] <diddledan> lol @ knackered joints
[04:38] <diddledan> I'm not there _yet_
[04:38] <zmoylan-pi> but you will if you live long enough
[04:38] <diddledan> I'm surprised I haven't had any RSI yet
[04:38] <zmoylan-pi> i started to have rsi in 80s but i just changed how i positioned keyboards and am very careful how i place them
[04:39] <zmoylan-pi> when you consider how ancient typewriters were in use for decades pre keyboards and there was no reported rsi
[04:40] <daftykins> hrmm you'd almost expect more mechanically induced fatigue
[04:40] <zmoylan-pi> i 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 it
[04:41] <diddledan> group humiliation ftw!
[04:41] <zmoylan-pi> i /think/ because of the different height of the rows of ancient keyboards it changed the hands position enough to prevent rsi
[04:43] <zmoylan-pi> all 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 <hour
[04:43] <daftykins> https://teganhowardfood.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/dsc_0112.jpg
[04:43] <daftykins> diddledan: ^ mmm
[04:43] <diddledan> that looks tasty
[04:44] <daftykins> oooooh yes
[04:45]  * zmoylan-pi makes note to get soda bread later...
[04:49] <zmoylan-pi> oh wait... today is pi day... sortof
[04:49] <daftykins> not sure i've had the pleasure
[04:49] <daftykins> does that mean you have to give your Pi the night off?
[04:49] <zmoylan-pi> well only if you allow the american date system to exist;
[04:50] <daftykins> 14th month!? eh :D
[04:50] <zmoylan-pi> it's 2017. 03.14
[04:52] <daftykins> oh of course
[04:53] <zmoylan-pi> i always use yyyymmdd, it drives some people nuts but they have to ask if it's american format
[04:53] <zmoylan-pi> *they *never* have
[04:55] <daftykins> *       _|
[04:56] <diddledan> *      __
[04:56] <zmoylan-pi> a 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 :-)
[04:58] <daftykins> :D
[05:02] <zmoylan-pi> spotted 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 :-)
[05:09] <daftykins> hehe
[05:24] <zmoylan-pi> i'll swear prices of them have gone up https://twitter.com/angryearthling/status/841519881539448832/photo/1
[05:26] <daftykins> =]
[05:52] <zmoylan-pi> birds have now started their dawn chorous outside
[08:38] <SuperMatt> morning
[08:39] <diplo> Morning all
[09:00] <foobarry> moved our chan to sl@ck and we lost half a day with people fannying around with it
[09:01] <SuperMatt> slack is good though
[09:06] <davmor2> Morning all
[09:11] <diplo> I still haven't looked/used Slack at all
[09:11] <diplo> Is this a good thing ? :)
[09:12] <davmor2> diplo: yes not using slack is a good thing ;)
[09:13] <diplo> Good good
[09:18] <SuperMatt> slack's pretty darn good. It really does help intra-team communications
[09:20] <davmor2> SuperMatt: rocketchat
[09:21] <diplo> SuperMatt: I can't get my company to try anything new unless I implement it, it has taken me 2 years+ of bugging to use Ansible, now they see it is good they are coming up with more work/ideas :)
[09:22] <davmor2> diplo: sudo snap install rocketchat done ;)
[09:22] <diplo> Again... they'd need to use it...
[09:22] <davmor2> diplo: :)
[09:22] <diplo> I set up an internal messaging app as per request from my boss
[09:23] <davmor2> diplo: your boss uses it to tell you things are broken right?
[09:23] <diplo> using 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] <diplo> Nope! He just doesn't follow through with anything
[09:24] <diplo> They will suffer soon though, as 85% of my dev happens on a PC I brought in from home. It's going home Friday :P
[09:25] <davmor2> diplo: hahahaha
[09:25] <foobarry> i do need to rewrite my bot in python though :\
[09:25] <davmor2> diplo: 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 machine
[09:26] <diplo> Yes davmor2 - I've been asking nicely for months now..
[09:27] <davmor2> diplo: don't forget to over spec it
[09:28] <diplo> I have a dozen times
[09:28] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[09:28] <diplo> I 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 home
[09:29] <diplo> Just got to the point that of fook em
[09:29] <diplo> :P
[09:46] <JamesTait> Good morning all! Happy Tuesday, and happy International Ask a Question Day! 😃 ❓
[09:57] <davmor2> JamesTait: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzA-V0YN3QA
[10:02] <MooDoo> howdy all
[10:05] <davmor2> Morning MooDoo
[10:07] <diplo> He's ALIVE!
[10:07] <davmor2> diplo: no MooDoo is a bot
[10:11] <diplo> Ah...
[10:11] <diplo> :P
[10:12] <davmor2> diplo: seriously try !MooDoo how am ya mucka?
[10:26] <MooDoo> davmor2: MooDoo is fine
[10:26] <davmor2> diplo: obviously it is a slow bot
[10:27] <MooDoo> I have two speeds, slow and stop
[10:33] <davmor2> MooDoo: hahahaha
[10:33] <davmor2> MooDoo: and one of those is broken right ;)
[10:36] <MooDoo> davmor2: yup....
[10:45] <diplo> I'm equally as slow :)
[10:52] <MooDoo> :)
[10:53] <davmor2> I'm lightning fast in comparison \o/
[11:06] <MooDoo> that's what she says badoom tish!
[11:14] <davmor2> MooDoo: but you missus said she wouldn't say anything badoom tish!
[11:26] <MooDoo> davmor2: don't worry mate, your secret is safe with me
[11:30] <davmor2> MooDoo: on a more serious note how are they all are your kids still massive?
[11:39] <MooDoo> davmor2: yeah jimmy is having growth spurts at the moment, he's up to my chest and daughter has just gone up 2 shoe sizes in about 3 months lol
[12:03] <davmor2> MooDoo: that is crazy, am I right in thinking jimmy isn't in his teens yet he's like 10-11 isn't he?
[12:31] <MooDoo> davmor2: jimmy is 8
[12:31] <davmor2> wow even younger than I thought
[12:32] <davmor2> MooDoo: I'd got in my head he was 9 last year so thought he was 10 this year man that is madness :D
[12:32] <MooDoo> davmor2: he's 9 in sept
[13:03] <diplo> One 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 :P
[13:03] <diplo> I told them about this Thursday last week
[13:08] <MooDoo> diplo: yay
[13:09] <diplo> I just don't know how to deap with these people
[13:09] <MooDoo> diplo: I had to go to see someone yesterday "press ok to restart outlook" What do I do next?
[13:09] <zmoylan-pi> of course after they open those 2 ports and they're hacked it will be your fault :-P
[13:10] <diplo> I can't understand why people won't let us just manage it for them, even my colleagues may not screw up that bad
[13:10] <diplo> Of course zmoylan-pi
[13:11] <diplo> I've tried to get my boss to update t&c's about if they have control of stuff
[13:11] <diplo> MooDoo: They are even worse, couldn't remote in with something like teamviewer ?
[13:12] <MooDoo> diplo: yeah I could, but it's only a 5 second walk to their desk to press a button and make them feel stupid
[13:12] <diplo> Ah right, internal people are even worse!
[13:13] <diplo> Anyone going to fosstalks in june ?
[13:14] <MooDoo> looks good - http://www.fosstalk.com/
[13:17] <diplo> yeah, debating going to my first one.. always falls when I have kids on any of these talks
[13:28] <MooDoo> diplo: same here, and another part of the country lol
[13:28] <diplo> Well that's what you get for living up there, I'll be up next week or the week after, tis a long drive though :(
[13:29] <MooDoo> yup
[14:36] <Azelphur> Just ordered a R7 1700, new board and RAM, along with a new CPU block :)
[14:36] <Azelphur> apparently the 1700 clock for clock is the same as the 1800x, and there's no binning going on.
[14:39] <diddledan> Azelphur: you gone AMD?
[14:39] <Azelphur> yep, team red \o/
[14:39] <diddledan> :-o
[14:39] <diddledan> blue!
[14:39] <MooDoo> someone has to I suppose
[14:39] <Azelphur> blue keep on doing lame things
[14:40] <diddledan> I like my intel ethernet cards
[14:40] <diddledan> I350
[14:40] <diddledan> they're purdy
[14:40] <Azelphur> yea, they make good ethernet cards
[14:40] <diddledan> I'm miffed that my atom is gonna die at some point
[14:40] <Azelphur> but they keep on locking down features on the CPU that I want to use, and AMD is better bang for buck right now
[14:41] <diddledan> (I got an AsrockRack C2750D4I which is affected by the low-pin-count bug)
[14:41] <Azelphur> specially once I clock it up to 4+ghz :)
[14:41] <diddledan> I like that the Ryzens are all 8core/16threads *drool*
[14:42] <Azelphur> me too
[14:42] <diddledan> although drooling in the PC case while you're assembling the thing is probably a bad idea
[14:43] <Azelphur> true
[16:03] <davmor2> Azelphur: let us know how it performs
[16:03] <Azelphur> will do, although I'm running arch now, I hear it has some issues on the older kernel Ubuntu uses
[16:05] <davmor2> Azelphur: how old is an old kernel I'm on 4.10.0.11.13
[16:06] <Azelphur> ah, I think 4.10 is good
[16:06] <Azelphur> 4.11 is even better
[16:07] <davmor2> Azelphur: and that will likely be on xenial in a few months after release of zesty and the trunk just continues :D
[17:43] <davmor2> diddledan: 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 :D
[19:28] <diddledan> Azelphur: 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] <MartijnVdS> 1.2.3.4.5.6.7?
[19:28] <diddledan> exactly!
[19:29] <MartijnVdS> we've been stripping parts at work
[19:29] <MartijnVdS> we're almost at Chrome versioning
