[06:32] <sebsebseb> h
[08:14] <Oli> So.
[08:44] <foobarry> is there a usb hub i can use to power multiple pi's ?
[08:47] <foobarry> http://cpc.farnell.com/stontronics/t6449st/usb-5v-4-8v-quad-uk-plugtop/dp/PW04124
[08:47] <foobarry> anyone tried this for example?
[08:50] <Oli> That should work
[08:50] <foobarry> need to cluster 10 pi's together
[08:50] <Oli> Three of those then.
[08:51] <foobarry> yeah. i might split it into 2 clusters so now considering individual power supplies
[09:13] <popey> foobarry: I'd get one that isn't a wart
[09:14] <popey> https://www.amazon.co.uk/Charging-Desktop-Station-SmartICᵀᴹ-Technology/dp/B00L2SBZ80 like that
[09:14] <popey> which has a figure of 8 cable
[09:17] <foobarry> oh sweet, thanks
[09:24] <Azelphur> Lol, pound is down 15% since brexit, I wonder how long until we end up with Zimbabwe dollars
[09:40] <TwistedLucidity> Azelphur: It's OK, the DUP have saved the day!
[09:40]  * TwistedLucidity starts to sob
[09:40] <Azelphur> lol
[09:41] <Azelphur> TwistedLucidity: I'm loving it though, I'm paid in USD so since brexit I've had a 15% pay bump.
[10:35] <foobarry> DUP makes me scared. because i'm usd to !DUP being a duplicate packet error in ping/traceroute
[10:53] <SuperEngineer> morning[ish] folks
[10:56] <SuperMatt> by a hair's bredth
[10:56] <SuperEngineer> ;-)
[10:56] <SuperEngineer> currently running DBAN on an old PC [2 disks. 1 with XP 1 with Solus Gnome].  I am soon to discard the pc and thewrefore the DBAN - Pleasantly surprised to find DBAN is doing both disks at the same time!
[10:56] <brobostigon> :)
[10:59] <SuperEngineer> ..."only" another 5 1/2 hours till it's finished!
[13:05] <foobarry> think i've destroyed my wifes tablet
[13:05] <foobarry> trying to get android onto old hardware :(
[13:07] <zmoylan-pi> it was coming right at you!! :-P
[13:08] <zmoylan-pi> lots of cheap shiny newer faster tablets out there...
[13:08] <foobarry> thats just wasteful
[13:09] <foobarry> this is going to the kids
[13:10] <zmoylan-pi> so kids get a new shiny toy and wife gets a shiny new toy... doing your bit for the industry
[13:10] <foobarry> oh i managed to have twrp on here now
[13:18] <foobarry> arggh some factory mode fail. cannot find /efs folder
[13:19] <diplo> No work today then foobarry ?
[13:20] <foobarry> a bit of a dabble post-lunch
[13:20] <diplo> :)
[13:20] <diplo> I've been aiming to do dabbling all day, stupidly busy though
[13:23] <foobarry> got 7 minutes to figure it out
[13:24] <diplo> I've just got back from over an hour lunch :P left here at 12:40
[13:24] <diplo> oops
[13:28] <zmoylan-pi> a friday lunch
[13:32] <diplo> Yup!
[13:33] <diplo> That's what I tell the boss, I rarely stop for lunch and don't get paid for out of hours work, so I never rush back on Fridays
[13:34] <zmoylan-pi> ...don't get paid for out of hours work...
[13:34] <foobarry> i have a blanket on my lap
[13:34] <foobarry> weird colleagues have windows open and there's a massive draught
[13:35] <diplo> Nope, that's why I rarely ever do it. Only if it benefits me
[13:35] <diplo> I've had the window open today! Showing your age foobarry  :D
[13:35] <diplo> That you have a blanket ready to use too
[13:39] <foobarry> thats because the radiators need 3 weeks notice to warm up
[13:42] <diplo> hah
[13:43] <diplo> We're basically in a corrugated box, it's either icicles or a sweat box
[13:43] <diplo> god awful
[13:43] <zmoylan-pi> install aircon and wear thermals :-)
[13:44] <diplo> Been trying to get my boss to order for 3 years now
[13:45] <diplo> Got ourselves and old portable one that sorta makes a difference but deafens us
[13:54] <foobarry> blankets are the way to go
[14:38] <foobarry> does ubuntu ever remove packages like centos does? e.g. if python3.4.56.546345 comes out, they might not have the previous 3.4.3434345 any more
[14:38] <foobarry> i would assume not, especially for LTS
[14:39] <SuperMatt> There's no reason for packages to be removed from a distro, because there'll always be someone who needs that intermediate version
[14:41] <foobarry> yes. but centos do. and they move stuff to vault.centos.org
[14:41] <SuperMatt> Just so you're away, you can't retrieve package theresa-may-2016.07.11
[14:41] <foobarry> which usually has the old releases
[14:41] <SuperMatt> *aware
[14:41] <foobarry> has something happened?
[14:42] <foobarry> oh, 2016
[14:42] <SuperMatt> version 2017.06.09 has been somewhat nerfed, as far as power goes
[14:42] <foobarry> removed some features?
[14:42] <SuperMatt> If only
[15:17] <NET||abuse> funniest thing ever, just reading through http://entrepreneurhandbook.co.uk/venture-capitalists/      i think they have a cloud to butt issue with whoever edited that page
[15:17] <NET||abuse> hehe  ": Wellington focuses on digital media and butt-based software."
[15:22] <foobarry> haha
[15:22] <foobarry> copy paste fail
[15:30] <diplo> Server updated, restarted, nginx still works after reboot, success!
