[08:21] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[08:30] <flexiondotorg> diddledan Ping
[09:14] <diplo> I didn't know you frequented this channel Mr Wimpress ( flexiondotorg )
[09:15] <diplo> Although i have joins and parts etc disabled so I'd probably never know unless you typed :)
[09:37] <flexiondotorg> diplo o/
[10:30] <diddledan> hi flexiondotorg
[10:31] <diddledan> it's all wet outside
[10:31] <diddledan> much cooler temperatures tho *wipes brow*
[10:32] <zmoylan-pi> i was down to my last cornetto, phew
[10:32] <diddledan> I got a load of those too
[11:53] <flexiondotorg> diddledan We'd like to invite you to become a Snapcrafter.
[11:53] <diddledan> \o/
[11:53] <flexiondotorg> I see you've found the new Snapcrafter template and used it for the gimp snap you're working on.
[11:53] <diddledan> yup :-) I'm just trying to get an edge release built now
[11:54] <flexiondotorg> Can I request you add (and update) the Snapcraft README.md to you're existing snap repos in github.
[11:54] <flexiondotorg> We can then proceed with forking those to the Snapcrafter GitHub, adding you as a member and hooking up automatic builds.
[11:55] <diddledan> roger that. I'll pop it onto corebird asap
[11:57] <flexiondotorg> diddledan Perfect.
[11:57] <flexiondotorg> Ping me in the Snapcraft forum when you're ready to migrate your repos to the Snapcrafters GitHub and we'll handle the migration via the forums.
[12:00] <diddledan> right-oh
[12:01] <diddledan> I've also been looking at makemkv (the dvd/blurry ripper) but am unsure as to the legal ramifications of snapping it
[12:02] <diddledan> the license from makemkv themselves allows repackaging, but there is the grey area of drm circumvention
[12:36] <diddledan> CFT is out now on the GIMP package
[12:37] <diddledan> https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/call-for-testing-gimp/1281
[12:52] <popey> \o/
[12:55] <diddledan> ello popey popester
[12:55] <diddledan> I still need to look into the process to get people canonised so we can petition for popey to be the next pontif
[12:56] <diddledan> I've been amazon prime daying
[12:56] <diddledan> >.<
[12:56] <diddledan> so many stuff
[12:56] <diddledan> much things
[12:56] <diddledan> wow
[12:59] <zmoylan-pi> i thought the amazon prime thing was a bit scammy with most of the deals not so great?
[13:12] <Dave> the only time I've got something from one is when they did a cheap Kindle
[13:12] <diddledan> they're doing echo units with £70 off if you're into those
[13:13] <zmoylan-pi> see an echo unit stopped a domestic incident in usa when the abuser asked the victim dir you call the sheriffs? so it did...
[13:14] <popey> I have been resisting primeday
[13:14] <diddledan> I don't get that unless he yelled the startword
[13:14] <popey> although I'd probably buy two more echos if pushed
[13:14] <diddledan> YOU FSCKING WOMAN. OK GOOGLE, DID YOU PHONE THE SHERIFS?
[13:15] <zmoylan-pi> http://mashable.com/2017/07/10/amazon-echo-calls-sheriff/
[13:15] <diddledan> it only makes sense if she was called alexa
[13:16] <diddledan> the whole point of prompt keywords is that it prevents exactly that kind of scenario, so the story is wrong
[13:17] <zmoylan-pi> yet the sheriffs were called... the mystery deepens...
[13:18] <zmoylan-pi> sounds like one of these 3 day stories were lots of misinformation gets out until the true story leaks out when everyone has lost interest...
[13:19] <diddledan> "echo unit that phoned the police actually woman with mobile phone"
[13:20] <diddledan> in fact, I don't believe the echo service has telephone calling capability
[13:21] <zmoylan-pi> it can't make 911 calls. it can call contacts but you have to use exact phrase... i suspect that will turn out to be it
[13:21] <zmoylan-pi> 'alexa call sheriffs' sorta thing
[13:21] <zmoylan-pi> either way, the plod turned up where they were needed...
[13:23] <zmoylan-pi> i still don't want one in my gaff
[13:24] <popey> if you say "alexa, call the police" she says "I'm not quite sure how to help you with that"
[13:25] <diddledan> I don't even want to try it
[13:25] <zmoylan-pi> but you can add a contact police and include a number but they seem to have a block on 911 calls in usa as against t&c of unit
[13:25] <popey> you cant call anyone
[13:25] <diddledan> it's like americans getting new iphones for xmas the first thing they do is dial 911 because their sim isn't activated yet
[13:25] <popey> it has no concept of calling
[13:26] <zmoylan-pi> probably to avoid the false alarms calls and be a repeat of all the cheap home alarms in the 80s that brought in legislation to prevent false alarms calling the police
[13:26] <popey> it's just not designed to be used like that
[13:26] <popey> it's not a phone :)
[13:27] <zmoylan-pi> yet...
[13:27] <zmoylan-pi> they seem keen to push a new intercom /feature/
[13:37] <MooDoo> howdy all
[13:37] <zmoylan-pi> o/
[13:38] <diddledan> m00
[13:40] <MooDoo> well looks like silverstone has activated a break clause to not host any grand prix's after 2019  wow :(
[13:40] <diddledan> yeah, I saw that
[13:41] <zmoylan-pi> silverstone with no f1... does not compute...
[13:42] <diddledan> I wonder if they'll be able to negotiate a better deal or if it goes elsewhere or britain loses the slot altogether
[13:43] <zmoylan-pi> host drone races there, less wear and tear on the track :-D
[13:44] <popey> hah
[13:45] <zmoylan-pi> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bR4Gq9qfpnM
[13:47] <MooDoo> nice
[13:47] <zmoylan-pi> maybe add virtual or nerf weapons to add more variety... :-)
[13:53] <zmoylan-pi> be fun to watch fliers trying to fly past a nerf armed crowd.  direct route = more chance of nerf hit v safe but slower route...
[19:36] <foobarry> need some awk help. anyone about?
[20:16] <foobarry> doesn't matter
[21:54] <diddledan> mmm, coffeee
[21:54] <diddledan> coffee coffee coffee
[21:54]  * diddledan goes on a caffeine trip
[21:55]  * zmoylan-pi puts on zither music for the trip
[21:55] <diddledan> so. ubuntu gnome. the file manager can't access my freenas
[21:55] <zmoylan-pi> groove factor five man
[21:55]  * diddledan grooves
[21:56] <diddledan> groove factor to the max?
[21:56] <zmoylan-pi> groovy man
[21:56] <diddledan> gravy
[21:56] <zmoylan-pi> and biscuits
[21:57] <diddledan> slam dunk
[21:59] <diddledan> I need to figure out what to do with 30 spare network ports on my switch
[21:59] <diddledan> it's a noisy buffer tho
[22:00] <zmoylan-pi> rent them out to the nsa, gchq, fsb for any equipment they want to have lying around. make money at h$me n$w :-)
[22:00] <diddledan> guess I need to open it up to see if the fans can be quiesced any
[22:02] <diddledan> still, it's better than running three separate 8-port switches - was running out of power holes
[22:09] <zmoylan-pi> now you just need to find a few devices that run on power over ethernet...
[22:45] <diddledan> zmoylan-pi: national horrorday tomorrow?
[22:45] <diddledan> oh, n. ireland
[22:45] <diddledan> does the battle of the boyne get celebrated south of the bordeR?
[23:02] <zmoylan-pi> not that anyone would notice
[23:03] <zmoylan-pi> the orange men did try and march in dublin a few years back but eejits had a riot to stop them
[23:05] <diddledan> gotta love a good riot for preventing freedom of expression
[23:19] <zmoylan-pi> this was deffo a good riot
[23:21] <diddledan> none of the namby pamby nonsense I hope
[23:22] <diddledan> a proper full on looting and fires and overturned cars
[23:23] <zmoylan-pi> over turned cars, fires, using paving slabs thrown as frisbies to slow riot police... no looting, profiting from a riot would sully their motives...

[23:27] <diddledan> sinn fein AND republican sinn fein. that aren't the same. like the IRA and the _REAL_ IRA. oh and the Provisional IRA. it's as bad as all those populist judean fronts
[23:27] <diddledan> ref: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrDVsprWRCQ
[23:27] <zmoylan-pi> as was said many many years ago in ireland by a wise man, the first thing on the agenda of any new irish group is the split :-)
[23:29] <zmoylan-pi> the ira without going into pira, cira is about a dozen seperate groups at different times by different people leaning left, right, centre politically
