| foobarry | iplayer works on my near identical work PC ..strange | 08:35 |
|---|---|---|
| brobostigon | morning boys and girls. | 08:35 |
| diplo | Morning all | 10:09 |
| brobostigon | morning | 10:09 |
| diddledan | inkscape is now in the windows 10 appstore?! :-o | 11:42 |
| diddledan | as is krita | 11:42 |
| * zmoylan-pi waits till win7 is in the win 10 app store... :-) | 11:43 | |
| diddledan | lol | 11:45 |
| diddledan | I can't find opensuse though | 11:45 |
| zmoylan-pi | is emacs there? at least a decent os replacement... :-P | 11:46 |
| diddledan | nope | 11:48 |
| diddledan | I can't work emacs, anyway | 11:48 |
| zmoylan-pi | well they lost stallman then as a customer... :-D | 11:48 |
| diddledan | fun systemd bug: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/6237 | 12:22 |
| diddledan | screenie if you don't want to read the whole bug: https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/DIvxKmFX/ | 12:23 |
| diddledan | basically if your username begins with the number 0 then any services spawned by systemd supposedly for your username get root privs instead | 12:24 |
| foobarry | anyone ever compiled python without optimisations enabled? | 12:26 |
| foobarry | seems a lot *slower* :| | 12:27 |
| foobarry | to execute code now | 12:27 |
| diddledan | well surely without optimisations WILL be slower, no? | 12:33 |
| diddledan | the whole point of optimising things is to make them faster, so without optimisations it'll be defacto slower | 12:34 |
| foobarry | the opposite happens | 12:54 |
| foobarry | configure with optimisations, resulting in SLOWER operations | 12:54 |
| * zmoylan-pi remembers an ancient cpm computer that had a super expensive compiler for basic programs... the only difference between running the code in interpreted and compiled was that you couldn't ctrl-c the exe and look at the code... no optimisation there baby 8-) | 13:18 | |
| zmoylan-pi | when i compiled opl on psions the only noticeable difference was size of the binary was tiny compared to the source code... handy on a device with tiny storage | 13:20 |
| diddledan | good news everybody: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-40481561 | 13:35 |
| zmoylan-pi | i seem to get on fine with 1-2mb broadband, not too fussed | 13:37 |
| zmoylan-pi | 1-2 times a year i download an iso... and even then i can wait... | 13:39 |
| zmoylan-pi | but netflix users on the other hand will rejoice... :-) | 13:42 |
| m0nkey_ | You'll hate my super expensive 200mbps then | 18:17 |
| * zmoylan-pi still has a 9600bps fax modem somewhere... | 18:18 | |
| * brobostigon has one laying in a box behind his desk from 1998. | 18:21 | |
| zmoylan-pi | this one is a portable one so will off a p9 battery for a few hours | 18:26 |
| brobostigon | handy. | 18:27 |
| zmoylan-pi | for your hacking the gibson from a beer garden opportunities... :-) | 18:31 |
| foobarry | starting to wonder if my home IP is blacklisted from iplayer | 18:32 |
| foobarry | live bbc wimbledon works | 18:32 |
| brobostigon | zmoylan-pi: :) | 18:34 |
| CoderEurope | So what does the room think of Pop!_OS ? | 20:04 |
| zmoylan-pi | i read the description and thought... meh... | 20:07 |
| foobarry | CoderEurope: bad idea | 20:09 |
| m0nkey_ | Is this just another Ubuntu ISO with a custom desktop theme? | 20:12 |
| foobarry | for now it seems | 20:18 |
| foobarry | just seems dumb and fractious while alienating customers | 20:19 |
| foobarry | but hey | 20:19 |
| foobarry | i'm not a customer, or even remotely prospective so it doesn't matter to me | 20:19 |
| zmoylan-pi | i think someone is offering a laptop for sale with it preinstalled so it might appeal to newbies who want to give linux a spin without the horrors of trying to install it themselves... | 20:20 |
| diddledan | I'm betting it was created to allow them to ship ubuntu without paying for the name | 20:53 |
| m0nkey_ | What have I done? I've booked a flight & hotel and bought a ticket for a BSD conference. Goodbye cruel Linux! | 20:59 |
| * m0nkey_ quits (Quit: Terminated by an evil penguin) | 20:59 | |
| * zmoylan-pi bets m0nkey_ will return wearing sandles... | 21:01 | |
| m0nkey_ | lol | 21:01 |
| zmoylan-pi | brown sandals with blue socks indicating technical rank and complete lack of taste... | 21:02 |
| m0nkey_ | I'll send Beastie you way | 21:05 |
| diddledan | m0nkey_: which one? | 21:31 |
| m0nkey_ | All of them | 21:37 |
| m0nkey_ | Or do you mean which conference? | 21:39 |
| diddledan | which con | 21:51 |
| m0nkey_ | vBSDCon | 22:00 |
| m0nkey_ | http://www.verisign.com/en_US/internet-technology-news/verisign-events/vbsdcon/index.xhtml | 22:01 |
