| diplo | Morning all | 07:01 |
|---|---|---|
| foobarry | wiped my phone for android 7.1.2 so much pain restoring everything :( | 07:47 |
| foobarry | but, like the windows bitrot, its so fast after a reinstall | 07:48 |
| foobarry | hang on...malware infested apps, bitrot, no security updates for old versions....is android windows? | 07:49 |
| popey | foobarry: when I switched a phone to 7.1.2 I just restored everything from the 'cloud' | 07:57 |
| foobarry | ah i didn't know if that was a cyangoen/lineage feature or google | 08:05 |
| popey | 08:08 | |
| foobarry | its never really worked for me anyway | 08:09 |
| foobarry | i think my original htc buggered it up | 08:09 |
| diplo | I may try lineage on my phone, I was about to replace it as the screen had something wrong with it, but it appears to have resolved itself now | 08:49 |
| foobarry | i've had a repeated wifi issue where my wifi keeps crapping out constantly | 08:52 |
| diplo | Since the upgrade? | 08:55 |
| foobarry | pre- | 08:57 |
| popey | whee, just updated my OPX to latest nightly | 09:00 |
| brobostigon | morning boys and girls. | 09:01 |
| popey | hi | 09:01 |
| diplo | Well will try and give it a go then | 09:01 |
| diplo | hi | 09:01 |
| brobostigon | hi | 09:04 |
| foobarry | just realised i lost all my text messages | 09:12 |
| diplo | hah, I was going to ask about that.., titanium and adb backup can do that for you I believe for future ref | 09:13 |
| diplo | I don't really care myself | 09:13 |
| foobarry | just accessing my TB from usb otg | 09:13 |
| foobarry | hmmm titanium doesn't have messages backed up | 09:30 |
| diplo | Should do when you backup data to xml, had options to select sms etc - wonder if yours wasn't checked or you didn't run that option | 09:37 |
| foobarry | i have a nandroid backup too but do i really need those old text messages anyway? | 09:47 |
| foobarry | my phone is a lot faster but maybe because i haven't installed facebook yet | 09:47 |
| diplo | I never use the facebook app anymore, just a browser | 09:53 |
| brobostigon | more battery and resource afficiant in comparison using it in a browser. | 09:54 |
| diplo | 100%, apart from they've start adding a banner saying it's faster with their app, when you close the banner it doesn't resize :) | 09:57 |
| diplo | A lot of my friends have started copying me, I wonder if they're noticing in the up turn of people doing this | 09:57 |
| brobostigon | like if you hit the messenger button in a browser too, it refers to opening the play store to the messenger app. | 10:01 |
| diplo | yeah, you can select browse as desktop and it sort of works, but not great. I rarely get messenger messages now as most people know I don't use it. | 10:05 |
| awilkins | My other half installed the FB app on a phone she's been raving about the battery life of for weeks (Huwaei P9) | 11:41 |
| awilkins | She'd uninstalled it by end of day because it ate 50% of her battery in about 4 hours | 11:42 |
| awilkins | I found it annoying that the reason they removed XMPP support from their chat servers was to promote that piece of ... ahem | 11:43 |
| awilkins | I can only conclude it's either spyware or Zuck's personal bitcoin mining pool | 11:44 |
| foobarry | doesn't the app have nicer integration such as hold on comment brings up a menu etc | 12:12 |
| foobarry | i am annoyed at the "data" space taken up by the app though | 12:12 |
| foobarry | also which android browsers reflow text on zoom? only opera i've found so far | 12:14 |
| foobarry | why wouldn't everyone want this? | 12:15 |

| diddledan | foobarry: there's different processes involved. reflowing text is for when the base font-size changes. most browsers do zooming where the font size remains static and the canvas is enlarged so that it is larger than the viewport - this method preserves everything in correct proportion to each other as the designer wanted. resizing the font breaks most designs. | 12:56 |
| diddledan | zooming by adjusting the canvas scale factor is a lot more energy efficient, too, so on mobile devices it is the preferred method because resizing the font and reflowing requires a lot of computation to layout the page as the font changes | 12:59 |
| diplo | I removed Chrome because it used up vast amount of space on my phone, use Ghostery currently but may try opera | 12:59 |
| diplo | I've got a friend (client?) who has a Buffalo TS-XL027 Nas box like this | 13:28 |
| diplo | http://www.buffalo-technology.de/en/products/storage-devices/business-nas/terastationtm/archive/ts-wx-terastation-duo/ | 13:28 |
| diplo | It's a bit rubbish, he'd like to replace it... I'd like to replace it with something I can ssh into/rsync from. but I think he'd like to have something like the buffalo, can you guys recommend anything | 13:29 |
| diplo | I've mentioned just getting a microserver and set that up instead | 13:31 |
| TwistedLucidity | A microsever would knock that thing into a cocked hat. I think they might still have their cashback offer on as the unload the old models | 13:58 |
| TwistedLucidity | diplo: https://www.serversdirect.co.uk/p/1039108/hpe-proliant-microserver-gen8-intel-celeron-g1610t-dual-core-.30ghz-mb-4-x-non-hotplug- | 14:00 |
| TwistedLucidity | Heck, this one is only £113 after the cashback https://www.serversdirect.co.uk/p/1107184/hpe-proliant-ml10-gen9-g4400-dual-core4gb-noon-hot-plug-entry-level-tower-server- | 14:03 |
| diplo | I just think they like the option of administering it themselves I guess | 14:06 |
| diplo | I'm tempted to buy another tbh, mines old.. all they do is host files, nothing else though | 14:07 |
| diplo | I'll give him a few options, just never really used any of the others.. I suppose I could stick Freenas on it | 14:07 |
| TwistedLucidity | If it's just dumb storage and they don't care much about security, versioning etc; a couple of samba shares would do it. | 14:10 |
| diplo | yeah I think I'm going to link him to this and say, buy four 2TB drives to do raid10 or smaller to be honest, they don't have a huge amount of data | 14:11 |
| TwistedLucidity | 4TB are only ~£120 | 14:14 |
| TwistedLucidity | For consumer-grade anyway | 14:14 |
| diplo | Bit oversized though :) | 14:14 |
| diplo | Only a single site estate agent, 5 members of staff | 14:14 |
| diddledan | I've thought of a cool new thing to build - FBaaS: Fork Bombs as a Service. you login to the website and it forkbombs itself | 16:28 |
| popey | "cool" :) | 16:30 |
| foobarry | diplo: depending on budget, then synology are good and run linux underneath | 18:48 |
| foobarry | i have a microserver but i'm dreading upgrading | 18:54 |
| foobarry | i seem to remember grub issues with booting RAID1 disks | 18:55 |
| popey | i just recovered a zfs pool on my microserver | 19:18 |
| popey | so relieved | 19:18 |
| diddledan | popey: what was it doing (your ZFS)? | 21:13 |
| diddledan | phew. I been battling a really simple problem for the past FOUR HOURS! https://github.com/web-animations/web-animations-js/issues/141 | 21:14 |
| diddledan | "800" !== 800 | 21:15 |
| diddledan | really crazy simple thing that I couldn't see for want of looking | 21:15 |
| zmoylan-pi | if you stare at a problem too long you become blinder to it | 21:22 |
| popey | i have a microserver with 5 internal disks and 4 external (in a drive array) | 21:22 |
| popey | the array failed catastrophically, just won't power on | 21:22 |
| diddledan | damn | 21:23 |
| popey | https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00LN0GX4I/ so i bought a couple of them to attach over usb to get the data off them | 21:23 |
| popey | got zfs to see the pool and now am scping the data off it \o/ | 21:23 |
| diddledan | fingers crossed you don't get more death | 21:23 |
| popey | it's just very slow now because those caddys are usb3 but the microserver is usb2 | 21:31 |
