| daftykins | wowzer | 01:57 |
| daftykins | diddledan: i tried to swap SSD and reinstall macOS sierra on an old mid 2010 iMac today | 01:57 |
| diddledan | how did it go? | 01:57 |
| daftykins | sucker just fails at boot with the kinda no entry icon :/ | 01:57 |
| diddledan | aww | 01:57 |
| diddledan | hold down R on power-up | 01:57 |
| daftykins | pirate mode ;) | 01:58 |
| diddledan | yarr | 01:58 |
| daftykins | was that one that boots off the recovery partition or something built into the SMC o0 | 01:58 |
| diddledan | that should load the internet-recovery | 01:58 |
| daftykins | or EFI | 01:58 |
| daftykins | ah well i was installing from a made up flash drive of Sierra | 01:58 |
| daftykins | i actually had this when i fitted the first SSD back with 10.6, in the end i had to clone the spinning rust to it for it to work | 01:59 |
| daftykins | might end up in a similar situation | 01:59 |
| diddledan | :-( | 01:59 |
| daftykins | it's weird because if i boot the flash drive again, the SSD looks fine from disk utility | 01:59 |
| diddledan | odd | 01:59 |
| daftykins | btw free Carl Sagan \o/ www.twitch.tv/cosmos | 01:59 |
| daftykins | alrighty bed for me \o | 02:15 |
| SuperMatt | I don't care what day JamesTait says it is, it would have been Ella Fitzgerald's 100th Birthday, and as such you must all take time to listen to her great works | 07:14 |
| SuperMatt | I advise starting here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vXAtVbZbkI | 07:14 |
| brobostigon | morning boys and girls. :) | 07:48 |
| JamesTait | Good morning all! Happy Tuesday, and happy World Penguin Day! 😃 🐧 | 07:54 |
| * brobostigon puts his toy penguin on his desk, :) | 07:56 | |
| SuperMatt | It would also have been Ella Fitzgerald's 100th birthday | 07:59 |
| davmor2 | Morning all | 08:06 |
| MooDoo | morning all | 08:20 |
| davmor2 | MooDoo: stop copying me already ;) | 08:21 |
| * brobostigon points out, it isnt a cope, one is lower case the other has an upper case m. | 08:22 | |
| brobostigon | a copy* | 08:22 |
| MooDoo | howdy y'all - better davmor2 ? | 08:23 |
| davmor2 | brobostigon: but it also ruins the joke ;) | 08:23 |
| brobostigon | davmor2: :) | 08:23 |
| davmor2 | MooDoo: much better although you do sound like you have a southern/western twang now maybe "'ow do" would suffice :) | 08:24 |
| MooDoo | davmor2: you got it yoof! | 08:25 |
| NET||abuse | wow, just moved house recently and going through boxes, looking at my old dvd collection (already diminished from move 5 years ago when i sold 100 dvds/bluerays) now considering getting rid of the last of my physical media, i dont own a dvd/blueray player anymore | 11:50 |
| NET||abuse | what do you do with this stuff now? bin/recycle, "take me" note on the street, nobody's buying them really anymomre | 11:51 |
| davmor2 | Charity shops | 11:52 |
| davmor2 | might do some good that way | 11:52 |
| NET||abuse | anyone in london interested :P https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipPaS-inxkA2Ch8hRR5aV3Yk77JHaTy0TVjHF56Fn2yLai051QZpx5f-hvH6_PYOLQ?key=cnYydWlBX1hvR2JsOGdLZ0lwUzhvOENaVkFzSnNn | 11:53 |
| NET||abuse | but yeh, charity shop is likely the best idea. | 11:53 |
| NET||abuse | I also have some games, wondering what's best to do there, HL2, Battlefield 2, medieval 2 total war and shogun 2 total war,,, wondering what way i can keep a licence for those | 11:54 |
| NET||abuse | since none of my laptops have any optical drives at all | 11:55 |
| NET||abuse | hah, just found monopoly "new edition" dvd | 11:56 |
| NET||abuse | from 2002 i think | 11:56 |
| NET||abuse | cd-rom acutally, not a dvd | 11:57 |
| tripleclones | have you tried http://www.musicmagpie.co.uk or such like, might give a token ammount | 12:01 |
| NET||abuse | could do that. | 12:05 |
| foobarry | TIL there is a MATE compiz spin | 12:16 |
| foobarry | with wobbly windows, expose mode etc | 12:16 |
| SuperMatt | My life is now complete | 12:16 |
| SuperMatt | Wobbly windows is the only way I can get happy these days | 12:16 |
| foobarry | https://spins.fedoraproject.org/mate-compiz/ | 12:16 |
| foobarry | i miss those days | 12:16 |
| foobarry | everything was buggy but we didn't care | 12:17 |
| foobarry | i wish i could get the wobbly windows on elementary without compiz | 12:17 |
| foobarry | gnome shell has an extension but it sucks | 12:18 |
| foobarry | apparently | 12:18 |
| diddledan | spinny desktop cubes were awesome | 12:41 |
| diddledan | your video wasn't cool enough when demonstrating a distro unless it had spinny cube desktops and wobbly windows | 12:43 |
| diddledan | even better if it had fancy closing window animations like fire | 12:43 |
| zmoylan-pi | i'm sure if you scour the forums you'll find someone still using wobbly windows... these people need to be watched... | 12:43 |
| diddledan | like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QokOwvPxrE | 12:44 |
| foobarry | wobbly windows were useful for sanity while on long phone calls | 12:59 |
| zmoylan-pi | then your sanity was a bit wobbly... | 12:59 |
| foobarry | i forgot about the window dodge! | 12:59 |
| foobarry | not as wobbly as teh video, but a little bounce is healthy | 13:00 |
| foobarry | and that virtual windows switcher!! awesome! | 13:00 |
| foobarry | move windows across virtual desktops in real time | 13:00 |
| foobarry | amaze | 13:00 |
| * TwistedLucidity uses wobbly windows | 13:14 | |
| SuperMatt | "Your honour, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I put it to you that the accused uses Wobbly Windows, and is therefor proof of his mental state at the time of the murder" "GUILTY" | 13:16 |
| TwistedLucidity | SuperMatt: If you knew where I worked, it would come as little suprise. | 13:16 |
| diddledan | government is in purdah | 13:16 |
| SuperMatt | And that's how Hans Reiser was convicted | 13:17 |
| diddledan | started on the 22nd | 13:17 |
| diddledan | gotta love electoral rules | 13:17 |
| diddledan | if you're curious what purdah means: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/election-guidance-for-civil-servants | 13:17 |
| TwistedLucidity | "You're 2015 election is disqualified...but you got elected in 2017...nothing to see hear, move along, move along" | 13:18 |
| zmoylan-pi | the votings will continue till the government is happy | 13:18 |
| SuperMatt | I really hope that something comes of these campaign expenses irregularities. It could very well sway the vote | 13:19 |
| TwistedLucidity | Something may well come of it, but too late to affect anything. You think the general populace will remember it in 5 year's time? | 13:19 |
| zmoylan-pi | speaking of wobbly windows... :-P https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/04/25/webroot_windows_wipeout/ | 13:21 |
| SuperMatt | If the findings of the investigation are announced before June 8th then it could greatly affect the election outcome | 13:21 |
| * TwistedLucidity also uses desktop cube | 13:21 | |
| TwistedLucidity | SuperMatt: Expect the report to go through some stringent vetting prior to release. To ensure accuracy, you understand. | 13:22 |
| TwistedLucidity | That takes time, but any job worth doing.... | 13:22 |
| diddledan | lol @ "goes banananas" | 13:22 |
| diddledan | I love the register's crooked humour | 13:22 |
| TwistedLucidity | Top-tip: Never use the word "banana" in a password. When you start typing, you're never quite sure when to stop. | 13:22 |
| SuperMatt | but it's the CPS that'll be releasing it, not the government, so we can expect it to be released in a speedy way | 13:23 |
| TwistedLucidity | At the top echelons, it's all the same | 13:23 |
| SuperMatt | No, it's not | 13:23 |
| SuperMatt | This is what makes our democracy work, they simply cannot overlap in these instances | 13:23 |
| TwistedLucidity | Officially, no. But they're all members of the same private clubs. So unofficially..... | 13:24 |
| TwistedLucidity | Cite: Harnett's meal deal | 13:24 |
| diddledan | I would expect the CPS to be covered by purdah rules like government is | 13:24 |
| SuperMatt | I think that's a little tin-foil-hat, I'm afraid | 13:24 |
| SuperMatt | They can't change anything, but they can still convict if it's in the public's interest | 13:25 |
| SuperMatt | and it would be, before a GE | 13:25 |
| diddledan | they can't be seen to be party political though. it's difficult then to convict before an election | 13:25 |
| TwistedLucidity | Let's see if it happens. I think they won't bring any charges, but I hope otherwise. | 13:25 |
| Seeker` | popey: Did you know Google Effects and Draw apps will no longer work after April 25, 2017? Because I heard from somewhere that Google Effects and Draw apps will no longer work after April 25, 2017 | 13:28 |
| diddledan | did you copy and paste part of that utterance? | 13:28 |
| Seeker` | no | 13:28 |
| diddledan | "Google Effects and Draw apps will no longer work after April 25, 2017" was exactly repeated :-) | 13:29 |
| Seeker` | There was a point to that :) | 13:29 |
| * diddledan goes to the dunce corner | 13:29 | |
| diddledan | <-- fail | 13:30 |
| diddledan | did I ruin it? | 13:30 |
| TwistedLucidity | Is diddledan sitting in the corder? Because I read somewhere that diddledan is sitting in the corner. | 13:30 |
| TwistedLucidity | s/corder/corner | 13:30 |
| Seeker` | https://twitter.com/popey/status/842373734644219904 https://twitter.com/popey/status/842373734644219904 https://twitter.com/popey/status/842373734644219904 | 13:30 |
| Seeker` | err, those were meant to be 3 different links | 13:30 |
| TwistedLucidity | LOL | 13:31 |
| * Seeker` mashes ctrl+c harder https://twitter.com/popey/status/851706820519440384 https://twitter.com/popey/status/856856746245148672 | 13:31 | |
| diddledan | TwistedLucidity: diddledan is sitting in the corner. diddledan was told he should be sitting in the corner. so diddledan went and started sitting in the corner. | 13:31 |
| TwistedLucidity | But do you have pie, diddledan? | 13:32 |
| diddledan | TwistedLucidity: plum pie. I pulled out my thumb and said what a good boy am I? | 13:32 |

| Azelphur | hmm, seeing these occasionally on one of my servers, "kernel: [20789849.785809] ata9: hard resetting link" | 14:37 |
| Azelphur | Wondering what (if any) action I should take? | 14:37 |
| cydia | taking on chatroom | 14:40 |
| diddledan | I guess the chatroom won that battle? | 14:41 |
| zmoylan-pi | tis a great loss to the community... | 14:43 |
| Azelphur | lol | 14:43 |
| davmor2 | Azelphur: https://askubuntu.com/questions/133946/are-these-sata-errors-dangerous | 14:59 |
| Seeker` | at least it isn't an Arduino, Azelphur would have blown it up by now | 15:00 |
| Azelphur | hehe | 15:01 |
| Azelphur | davmor2: so basically: contact the host of the server | 15:03 |
| davmor2 | Azelphur: most likely yeap | 15:03 |
| daftykins | yay Louis | 22:39 |
| diddledan | another mac? | 22:42 |
| daftykins | https://www.atecorp.com/products/tektronix/tds694c - one of these today, he's branching out! | 22:43 |
| daftykins | oh no he wants to learn to use macOS | 22:44 |
