[09:29] <lordievader> Doing good here, practicing my colemak :)
[21:43] <oerheks> anyone seen this? https://www.lilite.co/
[21:43] <daftykins> heh, nope - know of ninite though
[21:44] <daftykins> not sure how this is easier than a script :>
[21:44] <oerheks> it poops out a script, like this:
[21:44] <oerheks> sudo apt-get install curl; curl 'https://www.lilite.co/get_installer?version=ubuntu_16&packages=Firefox&packages=Chrome&packages=Vim&packages=Build-Essential&packages=Eclipse&packages=7zip' | sudo bash
[21:45] <oerheks> skinny, not 7zip-full and such..
[21:45] <daftykins> ah i should probably have read it XD
[21:47] <Bashing-om> oerheks: Hummm ^^ flatpacking ? An alternate to snaps ? 1st too I have seen Lilite too .
[21:48] <oerheks> found @ https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/6on93z/ubuntu_1804_lts_desktop_default_application_survey/
[21:48] <oerheks> i surely hope for a manual selector for installing stuff
[21:49] <oerheks> but then again, it is easy to make a list of favorite apps
[21:49] <oerheks> http://paste.ubuntu.com/25300199/
[21:50]  * oerheks needs wobbly windows
[21:50] <oerheks> .. my brother is really fond of that :-D
[21:51] <daftykins> haha
[21:52] <oerheks> one day, he switches from win10, i am sure
[21:52] <oerheks> it is taking ages to load, do updates, or do stuff
[21:52] <oerheks> while waiting, he takes my pc :-D
[21:52]  * oerheks proud
[21:53] <daftykins> must be still on an HDD
[21:55] <oerheks> His lenovo cheap laptop would run ubuntu fine, but he *needs* stuff
[21:55] <oerheks> now he gave me a task, to merge a few outlook backups in one..
[21:55] <oerheks> .. horrible
[21:56] <Bashing-om> oerheks: Maybe point out to brother that he should " learn a better way " ?
[21:57] <oerheks> well, now he is divorced .. we surely have a better relationship now.
[21:59] <Bashing-om> Ouch, sad state when people agree to disagree to such and extent . Change is so hard !
[21:59] <Bashing-om> an*
[22:00] <oerheks> well, it wasn't about love, but money ..
[22:00] <oerheks> sad thing is there are childeren in btween :-(
[22:00] <daftykins> oerheks: PSTs?
[22:00] <oerheks> PSTs? not sure what that is
[22:01] <oerheks> oh, outlook pst
[22:01] <daftykins> normal outlook's storage file
[22:01] <oerheks> yes
[22:01] <oerheks> there are paid tools.. for windows
[22:01] <daftykins> hmm merging would be a bit messy
[22:01] <daftykins> all you need to do is open them all under outlook, drag and drop :)
[22:01] <oerheks> my best thought would be starting with an empty pst, and merge.. but that does not work
[22:02] <daftykins> it'd be slow though - and there's a 20GB size limit
[22:02] <oerheks> ah
[22:02] <oerheks> the 5 psts are 50 gb or so together..
[22:02] <daftykins> mmm that's that task done then ;)
[22:02] <oerheks> thank you, now i have a clue
[22:03] <daftykins> my pleasure :D
[22:03] <oerheks> really appreciate that :-D
[22:04] <oerheks> so he has to switch between them
[22:04] <daftykins> yeah, for example a client of mine likes to keep his entire email history ever, the only way is to have his main 'working' PST for the actual mailbox, then two local only ones that are things he doesn't need synchronised
[22:05] <daftykins> outlook 2013+ use better compression so they typically drop a PST to 66% the size of an older version, but even then he has 3 at around 20GB each (which is their limit)
[22:05] <oerheks> noted
[22:06] <daftykins> why he wants all that junk all the time i don't know :)
[22:07] <daftykins> i'm all about minimalism!
[22:09] <Bashing-om> daftykins: Me " always reduce to simplest terms " :D
[22:09] <oerheks> it is all about not to switch beteen them.
[22:09] <daftykins> best way would be to delete all the mail ;)
[22:10] <oerheks> yeah, go on with your life, forget about the money
[22:10] <daftykins> :D
[22:10] <daftykins> with that client i have a dedicated SSD for the 3 x PSTs so all searches etc are instant
[22:11] <daftykins> even then though, file operations are pretty slow
[22:11] <daftykins> oerheks: sometimes someone hasn't ever run a compact upon the PST so there's lots of blank space wasted, could be worth a run - but again needs outlook really
[22:11] <daftykins> Outlook is pretty bad in that when you delete a message, it doesn't truly reclaim the space on disk
[22:13] <oerheks> oneof my neighbours is angry with me, he heard i was good and reliable with pcs, but i refuse to help with windows 10
[22:13] <oerheks> "you paid for it, so they should help" :-D
[22:13] <daftykins> heh
[22:13] <oerheks> i know,not nice of me, but i hardly know windows 7/8/10
[22:14] <daftykins> that elder lady i fixed the ancient AMD Turion laptop for got gifted a mac for her birthday and has apparently been struggling to move her data over
[22:14] <daftykins> what an absolute joke
[22:23] <Bashing-om> oerheks: I am blunt and to the point "I do not do Windows" Daughter broke her Windows again and does not want 'buntu - she does without .
[22:24] <daftykins> daym!
[22:24] <daftykins> i'll do it for you :P
[22:25] <oerheks> But i do not know what are the best malware/virus scannes, tricks, tweak tools and such...
[22:25] <oerheks> last windows was vista.
[22:26] <daftykins> oof, you went out on a bad one then
[22:26] <oerheks> then, 2009, i switched to fedore+ubuntu.
[22:26] <oerheks> still have the dvd + never-used serialnumber
[22:27] <oerheks> man, i was happy then..
[22:27] <oerheks> me, first new build pc, with vista...
[22:27] <daftykins> i remember license keys that you could see :)
[22:28] <daftykins> well, still can really - i dump them out of the EFI with Loonix
[22:28] <oerheks> but it was a budget pc, celeron cpu and ati videocard, 2 gb and a 500 gb hdd
[22:28] <daftykins> speedy!
[22:28] <oerheks> still have that old workhorse.. would make it a server, but then again...
[22:29] <daftykins> power consumption :)
[22:29] <oerheks> now i encounter my limited hardware of a free pc from myneighbour, still pciXpress 1.3, and 6 gb..
[22:30] <oerheks> i want a fresh i5/pci express 2.0 .. then i could use my nvidia 710
[22:30] <oerheks> ( new in box)
[22:30] <daftykins> :)
[22:30] <oerheks> but money... i saves vacancy allowance for troubled times.
[22:31] <daftykins> *nod* always good to have that emergency fund
[22:32] <oerheks> Jups, because i have a dog ( vet costs if something happens), or get a job, so i can pay the rent to overcome the payment checks
[22:33] <oerheks> for the rest , i help my mom ( and brother) now.. i feel rich, you know :-D
[22:33] <daftykins> :)
[22:33] <Bashing-om> oerheks: I run an nvidia GTX710 = works well in 16.04 with proprietary driver . freezes up on nouveau though . No nouveau support in 14.04 .
[22:33] <oerheks> new pc is not that important, this box runs 24/7 fine
[22:33] <oerheks> yeah, i noticed that, no nouveau support.
[22:33] <daftykins> i dunno how lotus does it, still rocking the single core Athlon XP... i'd tear my hair out
[22:34] <oerheks> nouveau.blacklist=1
[22:34] <oerheks> so i play lotto for € 2 every week ...
[22:34] <oerheks> :-D
[22:35] <oerheks> maybe i get a chance to visit Canada and Guernsey one day..
[22:35] <oerheks> and meybe USA too... is Trump dead yet?
[22:35] <Bashing-om> oerheks: I will remark even with KMS defeated that 710 runns circles around my old ATI card .
[22:36] <oerheks> heh, current ati 545- runs like a char, 2 monitors, 2 movies, no problem
[22:36] <daftykins> :>
[22:36] <oerheks> 5450*
[22:36] <daftykins> >10Mb 1080p movies? ;)
[22:37] <oerheks> not sure they are both 1080...
[22:37] <oerheks> 1 monitor is 1440x900..
[22:38] <oerheks> this 8600 i found is way lower https://www.dropbox.com/s/c0b1nijbx6axb12/2017NV8600maxtor200.JPG?dl=0
[22:39] <oerheks> bit it is 2xdvi, no hdmi
[22:39] <oerheks> drunk & typing, no good combination, i think i walk drabber out and go to bed
[22:40] <oerheks> have fun you 2!
[22:40] <daftykins> enjoy!
[22:41] <Bashing-om> It will be harder with out you. but we try to " have fun ". Sleep well .
