foobarry_firefox tab separation doesn't seem to have achieved anything. whole browser still freezes :(07:45
=== foobarry_ is now known as foobarry
SuperMattStop going to whichever site is causing it to freeze then07:49
SuperMattI haven't had firefox freeze on me for yonks07:49
foobarryits random08:06
davmor2Morning all08:06
diploPlugins issues foobarry ? I like SuperMatt don't have any freezes on a sub par laptop. Maybe try a fresh profile and see if that helps ?08:16
diploI run the 64bit version though if that makes a difference08:16
foobarrythats the thing08:16
foobarrythe profile needs purging every now and then08:16
foobarryits a pain08:17
SuperMattSomething's wrong with what you're doing08:17
SuperMattstop doing that08:17
foobarry50+ tabs?08:17
diploI never do mine :)08:17
foobarrythats work innit08:17
diploI rarely have that many in Firefox, more like 10-15 and then I start closing them08:17
foobarrywasn't there a tool to copy the useful bits to a new profile and clean it up?08:17
diploI'd probably say that's more of the issue than anything else.08:17
foobarrythe sqlite dbs get munged up08:18

JamesTaitWe're doing well on the video front today.09:44
foobarrysigh, deleting slack channel messages 100 at a time...10:28
SuperMattcan't be done in one fell swoop?10:41
* davmor2 hits the button to trigger global thermal nuclear war to kill all the slack channels.......there easy :D10:45
foobarryfound a tool on github to do it10:48
foobarryyou can only delete 1 or 100 messages at a time.10:49
SuperMattIf corp ever decide to delete my team's slack channel, they're going to send a lot of time going through animated gifs of kittens10:50
foobarrywe are realising rather late than #general is bad10:51
foobarrywhen you want to add the users you abused at a later stage10:51
foobarryor lets say the inappropriate comments about eating noises10:52
foobarryslack are gonna have to change their pricing model , its ridiculous10:57
davmor2SuperMatt: hahahahahaha10:58
foobarrytried that new thunderbird theme shown on omg11:17
foobarrywith a few tweaks, its nice11:17
SuperMattI'll just keep on using google inbox11:17
SuperMattit works exactly how I need an email client to work11:18
foobarryon an always-on desktop at work, tb seems to give a more tangible feel to mail11:18
* davmor2 hugs claws mail11:18
SuperMattTBH, I think email needs to go the way of the dodo, but figuring out something to replace it isn't easy11:19
foobarryhttp://imgur.com/a/kULXz11:21
davmor2SuperMatt: yeah that is the problem, twitter/facebook/G+/slack/telegram...... all do a job but none replace email it still lives on because nothing beats it hands down11:22
SuperMattemail's biggest advantage is it's biggest disadvantage too, the fact that it's decentralised11:23
davmor2SuperMatt: and any client can plug into it because it has a standard that rarely changes11:26
SuperMattindeed11:29
SuperMattbut the issue is, as show by email, by decentralising you have to come up with a robust verification method11:29
awilkinsSlack are like facebook - turning PHP and MySQL into bank11:45

SuperMattthat looks like a gateway to hell11:50
SuperMattWhile I agree that the NHS using Ubuntu would be great, if it's a fork rather than a spin, they're going to end up with a security nightmare11:50

daftykinsXD ace video from Dave at EEVblog18:20
diddledanI've shared this before, but https://github.com/veorq/oee19:08
diddledandaftykins: I already posted that at 15:04:2519:08
diddledantis like two lines (of real talking) before you19:08
daftykinsoh wow so you did19:09
daftykinshe's a jammy devil eh?19:09
diddledanwhat's happening in the bananas right now?19:27
diddledanapparently something big has gone wrong19:27
daftykinswhich diddled fruit is that?19:28
diddledanit's an island19:28
daftykinsbahamas?19:28
diddledanyeah, bananas19:28
diddledanTheresa is moaning that European countries are being unified. almost like they're in a union! http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/theresa-may-labour-supporters-general-election-lend-me-their-vote-brexit-success-eu-tory-leader-a7706096.html19:31
daftykins"they're ganging up against us!"19:33
daftykinswhere us is you, i mean19:33
zmoylan-piit's not a problem, they can just dump the cost of brexit on the poor people... and spare the bankers...19:33
diddledanzmoylan-pi: worked for trump and his wall19:36
zmoylan-pihe should make a bid on the chinese wall and see if they'll deliver...19:37
diddledanseriously? have you not seen what the chinese wall keeps out?! https://youtu.be/6SKI9rgqFck19:39
zmoylan-pithey really don't know how to not whitewash a movie do they? or is it ok to whitewash if there's a big wall in it?19:43
daftykinsooh Ubuntu 12.04 went EOL today :)19:45
daftykinsthere's a milestone19:46
diddledanyup19:46
diddledanold place of work _finally_ shut down their 12.04 box yesterday19:46
diddledanthey went right up to the wire, right?!19:46
daftykinstypical!19:49
zmoylan-piso they replaced it with a system running xp then? :-P19:50
diddledanthey've been rolling out 14.04 - I think they finally realised they should move that rollout onto 16.04 rather than finish it19:50
daftykinshahaha19:51
diddledanI really don't understand why people are so afraid to change stuff19:51
zmoylan-piyears and years of updates breaking things?19:52
daftykinsmust be due to how much the wheel gets reinvented i suppose19:52
daftykinsi think i went from a 10.04 VM straight up to 14.04 last - quite some changes in how apache's configs are laid out :> but not so big in the grand scheme19:52
foobarryi have 2 centos 5 boxes that aren't built with puppet. its a pain to migrate the service and have lots of other things to do20:43
foobarryso much to do, so little time20:43
foobarrywhen its quite complex apps that are painful to migrate and usually provide reliable service, its hard to do it20:44
foobarryyou just say, just another week20:44
daftykinsdiddledan: oh i have an amusing tale for you, prepped an old PC from a friends workplace for his wifes art gallery... popped the can and vacuumed it out etc, fired it up - oh look 14 bad sectors on the disk21:45
daftykinsgrabbed a spare 320GB laptop drive of mine to toss in, oh look bad sectors :D21:45
diddledandodgy chip?21:45
daftykinsthird time was the charm though21:45
daftykinsnah really was the disks21:45
diddledanaah21:45
diddledanI was getting errors spewed to the console on my xenserver box. swapped-out the cable and moved the drive to a different sata connector on the mobo and it appears stable now21:46
daftykins\o/21:46
diddledanhas gone several days where prior it was breaking after a few hours21:47
* diddledan tests it now21:47
diddledanyup, still working fine21:47
daftykinsthey're a pain those, i usually snip and bin the SATA cables regardless21:48
diddledanthey're nice and cheap these days21:49
daftykinsyipyip, i just get by on spares from mobos and that too21:49
daftykinsthat Dell and its' proprietary power one scuppered me though - http://i.imgur.com/keppJK0.jpg21:49
diddledanaye, new mobos coming with 2 or more cables is nice21:49
daftykinsAsus were quite rude with mine and only included 2 :<21:50
daftykinsZ170 board too21:50
diddledanthat looks like a sata data plug21:51
diddledanI hope it's not the same shape21:51
diddledan"I'll just plug this into that drive's sata port" *bang*21:51
daftykinsah it's the mobo end on the right that's the devil, the middle is just a teeny tiny for a slimline optical21:52
daftykinsDell seem to have moved to putting laptop style drives in to make their cases smaller21:52
diddledanaah21:52
diddledanso that doesn't come from the PSU?21:52
daftykinsnope! mobo21:53
diddledanweird21:53
daftykinsthe PSU is some teeny tiny jobby that hs funky connectors too21:53
diddledanI thought the point of ATX was to get rid of proprietary crud21:53
daftykinsbest part? 5 phone transfers with Dell and some guy looked it up for me, the code on it there was no use to them21:54
daftykinsthe guy then said "yep that'll be £38 please"21:54
diddledanwat?!21:54
daftykins(had to buy a second to drive an SSD as well as the disk inside)21:54
daftykinsyip!21:54
daftykinsended up finding one on ebay from Latvia for £12.5021:54
