[06:11] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[06:33] <knightwise> hey brobostigon
[06:34] <brobostigon> morning knightwise
[07:05] <knightwise> how are you man
[07:13] <MooDoo> morning all
[07:15] <knightwise> hey MooDoo
[07:15] <knightwise> hows it goin gdude
[07:16] <MooDoo> knightwise: yeah ok thanks, day of meetings *yawn* lol
[07:16] <MooDoo> you?
[07:17] <brobostigon> knightwise: not bad, and you?
[07:17] <knightwise> Writing up procedures .. slow day at the client so finally some time to get some things in order
[07:19] <knightwise> And tinkering with my low budget lenovo laptop
[07:22] <brobostigon> :)
[07:23] <MooDoo> My dell is playing up, it's either fast one day or slow the other, think the SSD is on it's way out, getting a new one friday
[07:29] <brobostigon> i should get a new battery for mine, its down to 48% capacity.
[07:46] <MooDoo> brobostigon: it's wierd, one day the system is as fast as i'd expext, next it'll run like I've just eaten a sunday lunch with 10 puddings.
[07:47] <brobostigon> very odd.
[07:48] <MooDoo> brobostigon: yeah the ssd has dropped to 99% reliability, looking at a samsung evo
[07:50] <knightwise> I have one of those . Its a great SSD
[07:53] <brobostigon> not looked at a samsung laptop before, wouldnt have a clue if they are any good.
[08:28] <knightwise> brobostigon: been using the evo's for a while now. pretty spîffy disks foer a good procepoint
[08:29] <knightwise> srr , remote keyboard not responding very fast
[08:32] <MooDoo> knightwise: good to hear, I might pick one up at the weekend then :D
[09:05] <TwistedLucidity> Samsung EVOs are good (I have an older one) but there was that wobble with the firmware (which, in fairness to them, they addressed).
[09:06] <TwistedLucidity> If the budget stretches, consider one of the Pro models.
[09:06] <knightwise> Got one in the machine i am working on at the moment
[10:43] <BigRedS> I've had a surprise offer of training in/on LXC; who's good for courses on that? Ideally with a bit of ansible chucked in :)
[11:59] <MooDoo> BigRedS: something you use in your job?
[12:01] <BigRedS> yeah, in that I read StackOverflow a lot and swear at LXC sometimes
[12:02] <BigRedS> I've got a bunch of hosts running containers and it's sort-of fine, but it'd be great to be shown tips and tools for it, and get an idea of best-practice here
[12:07] <MooDoo> nice :)
[12:26] <brobostigon> knightwise: :)
[12:26] <knightwise> got this low budget 17 inch IBM laptop for a bargain
[12:27] <knightwise> Lenovo B71-80
[12:27] <knightwise> popped the ssd in there and it works fine
[12:27] <knightwise> ideal linux machine to tinker with
[12:28] <brobostigon> :)
[15:29] <nucc1> i wonder why ubuntu ships by default with a UK mirror for apt...
[15:29] <nucc1> i mean US mirror
[15:42] <diddledan> you were right first time. archive.ubuntu.com is a uk mirror
[15:44] <diddledan> ubiquity installer will customise the sources.list after install to be a mirror near the location you chose in the timezone
[23:22] <ali1234> doesn't archive.ubuntu.com autoredirect?
