diplo | And you break the spell MooDoo ! All your fault :P | 09:00 |
MooDoo | lol | 09:11 |
zmoylan-pi | you just have to reminise over a great old moment, like getting sound working on early linux... :-) | 09:12 |
christel | hehe | 09:12 |
zmoylan-pi | ....and then... after 3 weeks of solid back breaking effort.... my pc beeped at me :-D | 09:13 |
MooDoo | installing slackware from floppies or freebsd from walnut creek :D | 09:14 |
zmoylan-pi | 3.5 or 5.25"? :-) | 09:15 |
MooDoo | hehe :) | 09:15 |
MooDoo | then again i'm using the i3 window manager, that in itself has a number of challenges :) | 09:15 |
* zmoylan-pi keeps it simple with tmux and console apps running like a happy hamster on my rasp pi | 09:16 | |
MooDoo | yeah i got sick of a gui :) | 09:17 |
zmoylan-pi | green text on a black console... tis the way it was meant to be as dictated by engineers of yore... :-) | 09:18 |
* MooDoo enjoys having a console music player, reminds me of the old mod amiga days :) | 09:18 | |
diplo | I use Budgie now a days, have enough consoles from customer machines | 09:27 |

diddledan | the lunduke is livestreaming right now - about to grill a w3c guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHyrA5YOQ8g | 17:28 |

daftykins | that bashrc nick flying by looks familiar | 19:07 |
sebsebseb | hi | 19:12 |
daftykins | lo | 19:13 |
daftykins | i was gifted some super cheap flat-pack nested tables from amazon recently, saw the reviews were all moaning about incorrectly drilled holes and so on, all assembled fine for me though :D | 19:45 |
daftykins | got to wonder about the validity to most amazon reviews | 19:45 |
zmoylan-pi | maybe they assembled the parts incorrectly :-) | 21:04 |
zmoylan-pi | i can just imagine the lobsided frankentables as parts from different sizes are mixed and matched... :-) | 21:14 |
daftykins | :> | 21:15 |
daftykins | i'm getting a bit tired of homes - http://i.imgur.com/fRipCEJ.jpg | 21:16 |
zmoylan-pi | get a prefab made of a shipping container... then all you need is a decent welding class for home repairs :-) | 21:17 |
daftykins | \o/ | 21:19 |
diddledan | I'm not sure most electronics resemble bombs as much, though: https://twitter.com/RasPiTV/status/885972235294584833 | 21:21 |
diddledan | we'll start getting bombs made into injection-moulded cases soon so they look like ordinary electronics and they then only let us on board with hacked-together rubbish | 21:22 |
zmoylan-pi | one of the irish robotwars teams was stopped every time they went to a match as a bunch of irish lads in a van with a bunch of welding, electronics gear, with wires, electronics and a robot was slightly suspicious to customs in uk in the 90s | 21:26 |
diddledan | recently an all-girl robot team from afghanistan were refused entry into the US because the authorities are bar stewards | 21:28 |
daftykins | and Trump sorted them out with temporary passes | 21:28 |
zmoylan-pi | the irish lads got very good at reassembling their ripped apart robot | 21:29 |
diddledan | aah, yeah, I just spotted they been overruled: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jul/13/all-girl-afghan-robotics-team-allowed-to-travel-to-us-after-visa-ruling-overturned | 21:29 |
diddledan | zmoylan-pi: were customs worse than their robot enemas? | 21:29 |
diddledan | "your robot is nowhere near as destructive as customs!" | 21:30 |
diddledan | ".. so we'll beat you!" | 21:30 |
diddledan | "we survived customs. we'll survive your POS" | 21:30 |
zmoylan-pi | customs job is to make everyone feel they are lower than crap | 21:31 |
daftykins | point of sale? | 21:31 |
diddledan | daftykins: yeah. a checkout drawer makes a good armor | 21:31 |
diddledan | wait, did I spell that americanstyle?! | 21:32 |
diddledan | omg, I suck! | 21:32 |
daftykins | i can't even remember which is which in a lot of cases, now :( | 21:32 |
* zmoylan-pi hits diddledan in the colonies... | 21:32 | |
diddledan | ouch | 21:32 |
diddledan | those are my most vulnerable areas | 21:33 |
diddledan | sent to the "security mailing list" which they tell you to sign up for if you want more information https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/sSYLjqVy/image.png | 21:56 |
diddledan | inception level recursion involved there | 21:57 |
diddledan | anywho. I'm sleepy | 21:57 |
daftykins | i should go too, but i just cracked open a Guinness West Indies Porter | 21:58 |
daftykins | he wasn't carrying any luggage at the time, they'll never take me alive! | 21:58 |
