[04:10] <lotuspsychje> morning guys :p
[04:12] <Bashing-om> I resemble that ! Hey lotuspsychje :)
[04:13] <lotuspsychje> hey hey Bashing-om
[04:43] <Bashing-om> gnite all
[06:21] <ducasse> hi all
[09:29] <BluesKaj> howdy folks
[09:47] <ducasse> morning BluesKaj
[09:47] <BluesKaj> 'Morning ducasse
[09:48] <BluesKaj> dumped debian switched to kde-neon on the spare hdd
[09:49] <ducasse> what do you think of it? didn't it have problems before?
[10:05] <BluesKaj> ducasse, debian is fine, but I'm not gonna an OS with idiots running their support chat
[10:05] <BluesKaj> use
[10:06] <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
[10:09] <BluesKaj> not that common in my experience, very few actually, only debian and arch supports come to mind
[10:10] <BluesKaj> there are nutters , but these guys were off their rockers in my opnion.
[10:12] <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.
[10:13] <BluesKaj> yup
[10:14] <ducasse> maybe you came in at a bad moment :)
[10:15] <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
[10:16] <BluesKaj> well the whole debian chat experience wasn't good, it was also immature and silly
[10:17] <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?
[10:18] <ducasse> *kodi/rpi
[10:19] <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
[10:21] <ducasse> yes, or something with an app, which was more what i was thinking of. i want access on my non-smart tv...
[10:23] <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? ^^
[10:25] <BluesKaj> ducasse, yes,.,my tv is also a non smart, and the dvi to hdmi connection from this old pc works well
[10:27] <BluesKaj> my setup here is a basic home theater with video and audio fairly well integrated with the pc
[10:28] <ducasse> i _could_ do that, but i'd need to connect a computer first, which is something i'd rather avoid for now.
[10:29] <BluesKaj> heh even a rpi would work
[10:31] <ducasse> that i've got :) maybe setting up x and a browser would be a solution - i'll check that.
[10:32] <BluesKaj> Ive had a "home theater" setup since TV was black and white :-)
[10:32] <ducasse> :)
[10:33] <ducasse> i'll build a htpc again some time, but for now i haven't got any appropriate spare hw
[10:36] <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.
[11:24] <BluesKaj> forgot to mention that was back in the early 70s
[11:25] <ducasse> that must have been quite impressive :)
[19:22] <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
[19:23] <daftykins> essentially it's like adding the smart to a dumb TV
[19:24] <BluesKaj> kodi tuns a non-smart tv into a smart one IMO
[19:24] <daftykins> yeah no subscription streaming services though
[19:25] <daftykins> so if they're a concern...
[19:26] <BluesKaj> you can if you have paid subscription, some services are available thru kodi if you have user and pw
[19:27] <daftykins> hmm Netflix still seems to be a work in progress last i saw, suspicious sources to even install the addons
[19:28] <BluesKaj> iirc some of the pay sports chans are available in kodi
