| Bashing-om | I resemble that ! Hey lotuspsychje :) | 04:12 |
| lotuspsychje | hey hey Bashing-om | 04:13 |
| Bashing-om | gnite all | 04:43 |
| ducasse | hi all | 06:21 |
| BluesKaj | howdy folks | 09:29 |
| ducasse | morning BluesKaj | 09:47 |
| BluesKaj | 'Morning ducasse | 09:47 |
| BluesKaj | dumped debian switched to kde-neon on the spare hdd | 09:48 |
| ducasse | what do you think of it? didn't it have problems before? | 09:49 |
| BluesKaj | ducasse, debian is fine, but I'm not gonna an OS with idiots running their support chat | 10:05 |
| BluesKaj | use | 10:05 |
| ducasse | i heard you said they were being a bit weird, but isn't that a common problem in the linux community? | 10:06 |
| BluesKaj | or allows idiots to run their support chat | 10:06 |
| BluesKaj | not that common in my experience, very few actually, only debian and arch supports come to mind | 10:09 |
| BluesKaj | there are nutters , but these guys were off their rockers in my opnion. | 10:10 |
| ducasse | i've heard arch support was bad, but haven't used it yet - the wiki normally provides answers. but i agree with you, saying 'hi' shouldn't be a capital offence. | 10:12 |
| BluesKaj | yup | 10:13 |
| ducasse | maybe you came in at a bad moment :) | 10:14 |
| BluesKaj | arch support was more elitist and insulting to new users, like kids in a playground with new ball , no one else was allowed to play | 10:15 |
| BluesKaj | well the whole debian chat experience wasn't good, it was also immature and silly | 10:16 |
| ducasse | that's basically what i've heard (about arch support), but imagined it was more a 'rtfm' thing.. | 10:17 |
| ducasse | btw, you don't use netflix, do you? any idea what a good solution is for us kodi users to get access? do we need to get a chromecast or something? | 10:17 |
| ducasse | *kodi/rpi | 10:18 |
| BluesKaj | ducasse, used netflix a couple of yrs ago when my daughter let us sue her pw, it needs a browser like chrome or the new FF | 10:19 |
| BluesKaj | it ran fine in chrome | 10:19 |
| ducasse | yes, or something with an app, which was more what i was thinking of. i want access on my non-smart tv... | 10:21 |
| ducasse | i'll probably just get a chromecast and use the tablet, as it's likely the cheapest option. | 10:23 |
| ducasse | daftykins: any opinions? ^^ | 10:23 |
| BluesKaj | ducasse, yes,.,my tv is also a non smart, and the dvi to hdmi connection from this old pc works well | 10:25 |
| BluesKaj | my setup here is a basic home theater with video and audio fairly well integrated with the pc | 10:27 |
| ducasse | i _could_ do that, but i'd need to connect a computer first, which is something i'd rather avoid for now. | 10:28 |
| BluesKaj | heh even a rpi would work | 10:29 |
| ducasse | that i've got :) maybe setting up x and a browser would be a solution - i'll check that. | 10:31 |
| BluesKaj | Ive had a "home theater" setup since TV was black and white :-) | 10:32 |
| ducasse | :) | 10:32 |
| ducasse | i'll build a htpc again some time, but for now i haven't got any appropriate spare hw | 10:33 |
| BluesKaj | here in NA TV audio was FM quality , connected our 21" Philips tv to my Pioneer amp from the ground side of the volume ctrl ...I used to amaze my friends with the sound quality TV could achieve. | 10:36 |
| BluesKaj | forgot to mention that was back in the early 70s | 11:24 |
| ducasse | that must have been quite impressive :) | 11:25 |
| daftykins | ducasse: yo, the Amazon FireTV is a good way to get subscription services and also have the option of Kodi on the side if you want any local media | 19:22 |
| daftykins | essentially it's like adding the smart to a dumb TV | 19:23 |
| BluesKaj | kodi tuns a non-smart tv into a smart one IMO | 19:24 |
| daftykins | yeah no subscription streaming services though | 19:24 |
| daftykins | so if they're a concern... | 19:25 |
| BluesKaj | you can if you have paid subscription, some services are available thru kodi if you have user and pw | 19:26 |
| daftykins | hmm Netflix still seems to be a work in progress last i saw, suspicious sources to even install the addons | 19:27 |
| BluesKaj | iirc some of the pay sports chans are available in kodi | 19:28 |
