| DJones | Interesting article http://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/06/30/nhsbuntu_nhs_revolution/ | 14:50 |
| daftykins | penguin42: when i raised cropping back the house phone lines the other day, here's the result! check out my war time connections :) http://imgur.com/a/O0yRr | 18:01 |
| daftykins | whole thing is swinging around off the wall due to the large fixings having allowed water ingress which has crumbled it all | 18:02 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: Golly, technology! It's interesting the connections aren't really paired | 18:03 |
| daftykins | indeedy | 18:03 |
| daftykins | i'm hoping to see if they fancy redoing it since it's swinging about loosely - plus i'd ideally like to paint behind etc | 18:04 |
| daftykins | so much destruction to the paint where the lines have had the little cable tacks put in all across the front too | 18:07 |
| daftykins | my Dad is suggesting running mine underneath the window sills instead, not sure if that'd be better or worse | 18:07 |
| zmoylan-pi | oh, barry norman died... | 18:53 |
| diddledan | :-o | 18:53 |
| daftykins | d'aww | 18:55 |
| daftykins | must admit i had to look him up | 18:55 |
| zmoylan-pi | for anyone over 40 i suspect you say his name and a piece of music and film x were x is the year the show went out springs to mind... | 18:57 |
| daftykins | :> | 18:57 |
| diddledan | I used to love Film X with him | 18:58 |
| zmoylan-pi | pre internet it was how you found what movies to go see | 18:58 |
| diddledan | they tried to reinvent it several times since but it just didn't work as well as when they had Barry doing it | 18:58 |
| zmoylan-pi | jonathan ross was good but still not a patch on norman | 18:59 |
| daftykins | haha the OnePlus 5's (a phone) screen is mounted upside down and causing scrolling quirks | 19:33 |
| zmoylan-pi | so it's mac touchpad orientation scrolling? :-P | 19:43 |
| daftykins | :D | 19:45 |
| brobostigon | https://man.openbsd.org/synclient ? | 19:49 |
| daftykins | heh Apple reversed the direction OS wide a few versions ago, was quite mad | 19:54 |
| daftykins | i had one Mac client ask 'wat' | 19:55 |
| diddledan | I switch between mac and pc so often that I just randomly scroll both ways until it goes the direction I want | 19:56 |
| daftykins | :D | 19:56 |
| brobostigon | if only apple decide to make a machine with just just pure darwin, i complain at that, :) | 19:59 |
| brobostigon | wouldnt* | 19:59 |
| diddledan | they don't release darwin source anymore iirc | 19:59 |
| diddledan | :-( | 19:59 |
| brobostigon | ie. bsd, ultimatly. | 19:59 |
| brobostigon | :( | 20:00 |
| daftykins | brobostigon: i'd hope you would since all the parts would be soldered in and it'd be pure evil! | 20:00 |
| daftykins | complain that is | 20:02 |
| brobostigon | daftykins: i use openbsd, haiku now most days, and then debian on some of my machines. my partner she is windows/iphone'ipod background, now i had to teach her when the machine starts up to eun things like startx and them mod1 + enter to get your program menu up, but after four years she has started to understand it, an understands now why having a more functional rather than an interface which or more bling than functional is more beneficial. | 20:06 |
| daftykins | :> | 20:07 |
| daftykins | i'm just digging at Apple's hardware decisions there | 20:07 |
| daftykins | thou shalt have a disposable machine | 20:07 |
| daftykins | ^ i should have put quotes around that one | 20:07 |
| brobostigon | yep. | 20:07 |
| brobostigon | i tried to explain to her once, how unix pipes work, i compared it to how you can redirect data from one program into another to try and explain it. i think she knew the geek and nerd i was, :D | 20:10 |
| daftykins | :D | 20:10 |
| daftykins | i found that was one of those *nix concepts that's easier to see a practical use of, then get explained | 20:10 |
| daftykins | that free intro to Linux course i did for fun spoke of IO redirection but without context it was pretty bad | 20:11 |
| penguin42 | it's harder when you don't need to build formatting/grepping/awking pipes much | 20:11 |
| brobostigon | example, less /var/log/apache2/access.log | grep iphone | 20:12 |
| * penguin42 swaps brobostigon's grep and less | 20:12 | |
| daftykins | yeah you could just grep the file direct there :D | 20:12 |
| brobostigon | less /var/log/apache2/access.log | grep iphone | less | 20:12 |
| daftykin1 | oh dear i've actually lost a few megabits since faffing with the phone cables | 20:16 |
| diddledan | :-o | 20:17 |
| diddledan | that was careless | 20:17 |
| daftykin1 | i know, if only i'd swept them up as well as the paint chippings | 20:17 |
| === daftykin1 is now known as daftykins | ||
| daftykins | stands to reason flexing the cable around would harm my rates :) | 20:17 |
| diddledan | rates have gone up again? damned taxes! | 20:18 |
| daftykins | kinda tempted to just run my own replacement cable tbh whilst i have the scaffold | 20:18 |
| daftykins | ooh yes, the island needs a new golden donkey statue | 20:18 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: It hardly looks 'balanced' | 20:18 |
| daftykins | uh oh, clone problems | 20:19 |
| daftykins | *ahem* | 20:20 |
| daftykins | balanced you say? | 20:20 |
| daftykins | yep definitely lost sync a few mins ago, ho-hum | 20:22 |
| daftykins | i wonder if electrical wholesalers sell outdoor spec by the metre | 20:22 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: it's supposed to be tricky because when they get upset they'll drop back a bit and wont come back up for a while | 20:23 |
| daftykins | ah indeedy | 20:24 |
| daftykins | to be honest i'm a bit beyond the line length to even have the 60Mb down service i'm on, as when i was on the 40Mb i saw a sync speed of only 52 | 20:24 |
| daftykins | bit annoying to see they put interleaving on too, probably from the time i was getting packet loss | 20:24 |
| daftykins | i've an odd one at my parents place, they're on the basic 20Mb down and 1Mb up ADSL2+ service, the download is absolutely fine but the upload isn't so stable and there's crackling on the voice line if you just listen to the dial tone... i even replaced the socket for a filter built-in type | 20:25 |
| daftykins | their answer is to apply a profile capping the upload to 768Kbps but i'm not fond of that approach | 20:26 |
