[01:56] interesting: https://www.thurrott.com/windows/109962/windows-bloated-thanks-adobes-extensible-metadata-platform [01:57] wowzer [01:57] diddledan: i tried to swap SSD and reinstall macOS sierra on an old mid 2010 iMac today [01:57] how did it go? [01:57] sucker just fails at boot with the kinda no entry icon :/ [01:57] aww [01:57] hold down R on power-up [01:58] pirate mode ;) [01:58] yarr [01:58] was that one that boots off the recovery partition or something built into the SMC o0 [01:58] that should load the internet-recovery [01:58] or EFI [01:58] ah well i was installing from a made up flash drive of Sierra [01:59] 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] might end up in a similar situation [01:59] :-( [01:59] it's weird because if i boot the flash drive again, the SSD looks fine from disk utility [01:59] odd [01:59] btw free Carl Sagan \o/ www.twitch.tv/cosmos [02:15] alrighty bed for me \o [07:14] 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] I advise starting here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vXAtVbZbkI [07:48] morning boys and girls. :) [07:54] Good morning all! Happy Tuesday, and happy World Penguin Day! 😃 🐧 [07:56] * brobostigon puts his toy penguin on his desk, :) [07:59] It would also have been Ella Fitzgerald's 100th birthday [08:06] Morning all [08:20] morning all [08:21] MooDoo: stop copying me already ;) [08:22] * brobostigon points out, it isnt a cope, one is lower case the other has an upper case m. [08:22] a copy* [08:23] howdy y'all - better davmor2 ? [08:23] brobostigon: but it also ruins the joke ;) [08:23] davmor2: :) [08:24] MooDoo: much better although you do sound like you have a southern/western twang now maybe "'ow do" would suffice :) [08:25] davmor2: you got it yoof! [11:50] 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 [11:51] what do you do with this stuff now? bin/recycle, "take me" note on the street, nobody's buying them really anymomre [11:52] Charity shops [11:52] might do some good that way [11:53] anyone in london interested :P https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipPaS-inxkA2Ch8hRR5aV3Yk77JHaTy0TVjHF56Fn2yLai051QZpx5f-hvH6_PYOLQ?key=cnYydWlBX1hvR2JsOGdLZ0lwUzhvOENaVkFzSnNn [11:53] but yeh, charity shop is likely the best idea. [11:54] 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 [11:55] since none of my laptops have any optical drives at all [11:56] hah, just found monopoly "new edition" dvd [11:56] from 2002 i think [11:57] cd-rom acutally, not a dvd [12:01] have you tried http://www.musicmagpie.co.uk or such like, might give a token ammount [12:05] could do that. [12:16] TIL there is a MATE compiz spin [12:16] with wobbly windows, expose mode etc [12:16] My life is now complete [12:16] Wobbly windows is the only way I can get happy these days [12:16] https://spins.fedoraproject.org/mate-compiz/ [12:16] i miss those days [12:17] everything was buggy but we didn't care [12:17] i wish i could get the wobbly windows on elementary without compiz [12:18] gnome shell has an extension but it sucks [12:18] apparently [12:41] spinny desktop cubes were awesome [12:43] your video wasn't cool enough when demonstrating a distro unless it had spinny cube desktops and wobbly windows [12:43] even better if it had fancy closing window animations like fire [12:43] i'm sure if you scour the forums you'll find someone still using wobbly windows... these people need to be watched... [12:44] like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QokOwvPxrE [12:59] wobbly windows were useful for sanity while on long phone calls [12:59] then your sanity was a bit wobbly... [12:59] i forgot about the window dodge! [13:00] not as wobbly as teh video, but a little bounce is healthy [13:00] and that virtual windows switcher!! awesome! [13:00] move windows across virtual desktops in real time [13:00] amaze [13:14] * TwistedLucidity uses wobbly windows [13:16] "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] SuperMatt: If you knew where I worked, it would come as little suprise. [13:16] government is in purdah [13:17] And that's how Hans Reiser was convicted [13:17] started on the 22nd [13:17] gotta love electoral rules [13:17] if you're curious what purdah means: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/election-guidance-for-civil-servants [13:18] "You're 2015 election is disqualified...but you got elected in 2017...nothing to see hear, move along, move along" [13:18] the votings will continue till the government is happy [13:19] I really hope that something comes of these campaign expenses irregularities. It could very well sway the vote [13:19] 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? [13:21] speaking of wobbly windows... :-P https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/04/25/webroot_windows_wipeout/ [13:21] 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 [13:22] SuperMatt: Expect the report to go through some stringent vetting prior to release. To ensure accuracy, you understand. [13:22] That takes time, but any job worth doing.... [13:22] lol @ "goes banananas" [13:22] I love the register's crooked humour [13:22] Top-tip: Never use the word "banana" in a password. When you start typing, you're never quite sure when to stop. [13:23] 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] At the top echelons, it's all the same [13:23] No, it's not [13:23] This is what makes our democracy work, they simply cannot overlap in these instances [13:24] Officially, no. But they're all members of the same private clubs. So unofficially..... [13:24] Cite: Harnett's meal deal [13:24] I would expect the CPS to be covered by purdah rules like government is [13:24] I think that's a little tin-foil-hat, I'm afraid [13:25] They can't change anything, but they can still convict if it's in the public's interest [13:25] and it would be, before a GE [13:25] they can't be seen to be party political though. it's difficult then to convict before an election [13:25] Let's see if it happens. I think they won't bring any charges, but I hope otherwise. [13:28] 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] did you copy and paste part of that utterance? [13:28] no [13:29] "Google Effects and Draw apps will no longer work after April 25, 2017" was exactly repeated :-) [13:29] There was a point to that :) [13:29] * diddledan goes to the dunce corner [13:30] <-- fail [13:30] did I ruin it? [13:30] Is diddledan sitting in the corder? Because I read somewhere that diddledan is sitting in the corner. [13:30] s/corder/corner [13:30] https://twitter.com/popey/status/842373734644219904 https://twitter.com/popey/status/842373734644219904 https://twitter.com/popey/status/842373734644219904 [13:30] err, those were meant to be 3 different links [13:31] LOL [13:31] * Seeker` mashes ctrl+c harder https://twitter.com/popey/status/851706820519440384 https://twitter.com/popey/status/856856746245148672 [13:31] 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. [13:32] But do you have pie, diddledan? [13:32] TwistedLucidity: plum pie. I pulled out my thumb and said what a good boy am I? [13:33] ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Jack_Horner === alan_g is now known as alan_g_ [14:37] hmm, seeing these occasionally on one of my servers, "kernel: [20789849.785809] ata9: hard resetting link" [14:37] Wondering what (if any) action I should take? [14:40] taking on chatroom [14:41] I guess the chatroom won that battle? [14:43] tis a great loss to the community... [14:43] lol [14:59] Azelphur: https://askubuntu.com/questions/133946/are-these-sata-errors-dangerous [15:00] at least it isn't an Arduino, Azelphur would have blown it up by now [15:01] hehe [15:03] davmor2: so basically: contact the host of the server [15:03] Azelphur: most likely yeap [22:39] yay Louis [22:42] another mac? [22:43] https://www.atecorp.com/products/tektronix/tds694c - one of these today, he's branching out! [22:44] oh no he wants to learn to use macOS
