| brobostigon | morning diplo | 07:59 |
| diplo | Hows things brobostigon ? | 07:59 |
| brobostigon | just smartened myself up for a job interview, and you? | 08:00 |
| diplo | Good lad! Always good to look good, always made a difference for me when interviewing! Back to work after sending kiddos back to school today \o/ | 08:02 |
| brobostigon | :) \o/ | 08:02 |
| foobarry | shave every face hair :) | 08:05 |
| foobarry | unless it makes you look 3 yrs old | 08:05 |
| * brobostigon has a fairly well groomed full moustache, i aint shaving that off. | 08:06 | |
| diplo | Defo wouldn't pass the interview with a moustache! | 08:07 |
| diplo | :P | 08:07 |
| brobostigon | :( | 08:08 |
| diplo | What times the interview brobostigon ? And what work/role? | 08:12 |
| brobostigon | diplo: 11am, electronics, retail. | 08:14 |
| diplo | Well good luck, retail :( but hope it all goes well mate! | 08:14 |
| brobostigon | :) | 08:15 |
| zmoylan-pi | fingers crossed you get the position | 09:53 |
| zmoylan-pi | and agree about retail... my first job was in retail... i could have endured it if it weren't for the customers... | 09:55 |
| MooDoo | howdy all | 10:24 |
| ali1234 | how do i install skype on ubuntu these days? | 11:53 |
| ali1234 | get the weird deb from skype.com? | 11:55 |
| MooDoo | https://www.skype.com/en/download-skype/skype-for-linux/ yes it's a deb | 11:56 |
| ali1234 | does this version support desktop sharing? | 11:56 |
| MooDoo | not sure without looking at the pag | 11:57 |
| MooDoo | page | 11:57 |
| MooDoo | doesn't mention it, so not sure | 11:58 |
| davmor2 | hey MooDoo | 11:58 |
| ali1234 | 4.3 (the old one) kind of supports it but the picture always comes out messed up and unreadable | 11:58 |
| MooDoo | https://askubuntu.com/questions/930004/how-can-i-share-my-screen-with-skype-for-linux-5-3 don't think 5.3 supports it | 11:59 |
| ali1234 | i dont want to share my screen, i want to see other peoples - they're using windows | 11:59 |
| ali1234 | i note it says "outgoing" | 11:59 |
| ali1234 | probably an issue with screenscraping X | 11:59 |
| diplo | I believe it sort of works ali1234 - I'm running it I think now, I can test with a colleague for you | 12:52 |
| diplo | I think they've removed it, sure I saw it there before | 12:54 |
| diplo | Ah, I remember now, I can view a shared screen, can't share mine | 12:56 |
| ali1234 | that's exactly what i need | 13:01 |
| ali1234 | seen on slashdot comments: "Elon is going to end up like Howard Hughes." | 13:16 |
| ali1234 | sounds about right... | 13:16 |
| diddledan | speaking of elon musk. I've got a copy of alien covenant to watch | 13:40 |
| diddledan | (peter weyland was totally modelled on elon, or vicky verky) | 13:40 |
| diddledan | ref: https://vimeo.com/50383392 | 13:41 |
| ali1234 | skype screen share was a total fail. worked for about 5 seconds, then turned into a blocky mess, then froze completely :( | 13:42 |
| ali1234 | luckily the firmware updater was just a big "UPDATE" button, nothing complicated | 13:42 |
| MooDoo | Big red Button :) | 13:43 |
| diddledan | OF DOOM | 13:43 |
| ali1234 | wait is that guy pierce? | 13:48 |
| ali1234 | *pearce | 13:48 |
| ali1234 | i had no idea he was in those movies | 13:49 |
| diplo | How did your interview go brobostigon ??? | 15:28 |
| brobostigon | diplo: i think nominally well, | 15:30 |
| diplo | Good to hear, good luck! | 15:31 |
| brobostigon | fingers and toes crossed. | 15:31 |
| * diddledan offers good luck hugs | 16:05 | |
| diddledan | any excuse for a hug, really | 16:05 |
| brobostigon | :) | 16:06 |
| davmor2 | hmmmm popey if you want to freak your kids out, go down aldi get the speaker/led light bulbs replace their lightbulbs and let the fun comence :D | 16:09 |
| davmor2 | not that I'm evil or anything | 16:09 |
| davmor2 | popey: oh not in stock till Thursday :D | 16:13 |
| diddledan | interesting developments at konversation: https://blogs.kde.org/2017/09/05/konversation-2x-2018-new-user-interface-matrix-support-mobile-version | 16:29 |
| diddledan | eesh, I've had to turn the lights on already | 16:33 |
| diddledan | where did summer go?! | 16:33 |
| diddledan | davmor2: even better would be speaker+led+smart | 16:34 |
| diddledan | make the lights flicker | 16:34 |
| diddledan | and ghostly wails | 16:34 |
| diddledan | this is fun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpKj4Avjmuo | 16:35 |
| davmor2 | diddledan: well plasma-mobile is still a thing so it would be for that I guess :) | 16:51 |
| marshmn | I never knew that there is a ##baseball channel on Freenode | 20:19 |
| daftykins | o rry | 20:19 |
| daftykins | i tend to just watch it with folk i chat to anyway | 20:19 |
| zmoylan-pi | baseball on irc... oh for the good old days of cricket on teletext? :-P | 20:23 |
| daftykins | i uncovered a Dell PII at a clients today, i was asked to go around all the storage areas and turf out any old gear | 20:27 |
| daftykins | used to use it as a smoothwall router | 20:28 |
| zmoylan-pi | you could use the case for a rasp pi cluster... :-) | 20:28 |
| diddledan | omg, snotwall is a name I've not heard in a long time! | 20:29 |
| diddledan | are they even still going?! | 20:29 |
| * diddledan googlies | 20:29 | |
| zmoylan-pi | so old, even i've heard of it :-P | 20:29 |
| daftykins | might be, not sure about as a free product | 20:30 |
| daftykins | last release 2014 | 20:30 |
| diddledan | oh god, they've gone corporate | 20:30 |
| zmoylan-pi | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SmoothWall | 20:31 |
| m0nkey_ | diddledan: do I buy this? https://store.netgate.com/SG-3100.aspx | 20:32 |
| daftykins | preorder o0 | 20:33 |
| diddledan | wtf is mikrobus? | 20:33 |
| m0nkey_ | daftykins: yes, it's a pre-order. | 20:34 |
| m0nkey_ | Coming out in October | 20:34 |
| daftykins | i wouldn't fancy getting in on something early | 20:35 |
| m0nkey_ | diddledan: seems to be some kind of addon thing. like bluetooth, nfc all that crap. probably never use it. | 20:35 |
| m0nkey_ | I've been following this for a long time. It pushes GbE speeds without breaking a sweat. | 20:39 |
| diddledan | looks quite decent | 20:39 |
| diddledan | I like the fact you can add storage via m.2 | 20:39 |
| m0nkey_ | That is handy. Plus drop in a LTE modem for backup :) | 20:40 |
| daftykins | pssh maybe if you can get a decent low rate plan | 20:42 |
| m0nkey_ | Doubtful in Canada lol | 20:42 |
| diddledan | so smoothwall are currently running linux 3.16 | 20:45 |
| diddledan | from their forum: "linux 3.16 was released during August 2014, thus Update8/SP3 may not support the latest hardware" | 20:45 |
| daftykins | heh | 20:46 |
| diddledan | no poo, sherlock! | 20:46 |
| daftykins | 'cause you're totally buying a ryzen box for a router | 20:46 |
| daftykins | ;D | 20:46 |
| diddledan | well, I was thinking about it | 20:46 |
| diddledan | :-p | 20:46 |
| zmoylan-pi | it's new, it's shiny... | 20:48 |
| daftykins | zmoylan-pi: i played with the nokia 3310 2017 edition today! | 20:49 |
| daftykins | no SIM though so couldn't see much | 20:49 |
| diddledan | have you seen the size of those threadripper packages?! | 20:49 |
| zmoylan-pi | since i found it has a link to opera app store i'm gonna have to look, but i now realise there's at least 2 different versions. different in size when you see them together... | 20:49 |
| diddledan | about twice the surface area of an i9: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Fr1ZlUu8v_Q/maxresdefault.jpg | 20:50 |
| daftykins | diddledan: yeah, but then there's a layout of 2 x 2 and only 2 are real silicon! it's a faaaaaake! </DS9> | 20:50 |
| diddledan | o_O | 20:51 |
| daftykins | y'seen that? | 20:51 |
| daftykins | not DS9, the 2 x 2 layout | 20:51 |
| daftykins | http://cdn.overclock.net/c/c0/500x1000px-LL-c08df673_article-630x354.90c8d2d6.jpeg | 20:52 |
| diddledan | so they've put four on the package but only two light up? | 20:52 |
| daftykins | nah two are just dumb silicon i think that's just meant for contact | 20:53 |
| daftykins | but it suggested that maybe they could put 4 real ones on the single package, mmm | 20:53 |
| daftykins | assuming there's actually enough pins and gubbins for all that | 20:53 |
| diddledan | I'm not understanding the "dumb silicon" bit | 20:53 |
| daftykins | so not an actual fabbed chip but just a piece of metal | 20:53 |
| diddledan | why not just leave it off entirely though? | 20:54 |
| zmoylan-pi | different nokias on sale... https://twitter.com/angryearthling/status/905172242191015937 | 20:54 |
| daftykins | think it has some kind of cooling benefit, i forget - maybe it was just that it helps spread the pressure evenly | 20:56 |
| daftykins | i've no idea where i read that now | 20:56 |
| diddledan | of course, then you get the photoshops: http://images.anandtech.com/doci/11636/dbwthwoxkaeehmw-1.jpg.324b24f4c47236d1eaf463abf6ad95a3.jpg | 20:56 |
| diddledan | I can tell that's shopped because of the pixies | 20:56 |
| daftykins | i wonder if it's easy to tell if you've tightened the three screws of the socket enough :> | 20:57 |
| diddledan | I think you've probably got a point about the potential for replacing the dead bits with live chips tho | 20:57 |
| diddledan | futureproof the design upfront save inventing a new socket when you light up the dead zones | 20:58 |
| diddledan | perhaps it has pressure sensors inside the package | 20:58 |
| diddledan | :-p | 20:59 |
| daftykins | ooh hey this looks relevant - https://www.overclock3d.net/news/cpu_mainboard/amd_clarifies_why_threadripper_uses_4_silicon_dies/1 | 20:59 |
| diddledan | why would you drop a grand on a chip like that and destroy it straight away?! | 20:59 |
| diddledan | that der8auer must have money up the wazoo to cope with dropping that loss | 21:00 |
| daftykins | heh delidding is common to get some proper cooling on there, obviously some crazy overclocker | 21:01 |
| daftykins | there are scare stories of high end cooling solutions causing IHS' to pop and destroy everything | 21:01 |
| diddledan | wat: "Analysts at Kerrisdale Capital Investments have predicted that AMD will file for bankruptcy in 2020" | 21:04 |
| diddledan | oh, that article is two years old | 21:04 |
| diddledan | even more wat then :-p | 21:04 |
| daftykins | heh | 21:05 |
| diddledan | analysts are a strange bunch trying to justify their existence by inventing random crud | 21:05 |
| daftykins | did y'see intel have been scared enough to bump the new generation i7 to be a 6 core, 12 thread instead of stay 4/8 ? | 21:06 |
| diddledan | I hadn't | 21:06 |
| daftykins | coffee lake iirc | 21:06 |
| diddledan | doesn't surprise me - amd really upped their game | 21:06 |
| daftykins | mm, still trailing in a lot of ways i felt though (from benchmark glancing) | 21:07 |
| daftykins | i can't really claim to do multithreaded stuff for AMD to apply to me | 21:07 |
| diddledan | I wonder what they're like for compiling | 21:07 |
| * diddledan unwraps a gentoo :-p | 21:07 | |
| daftykins | put that penguin down! | 21:07 |
| diddledan | https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/call-for-testing-warzone-2100/2001 | 23:07 |
