[07:28] morning boys and girls. [07:38] Morning all [07:59] morning diplo [07:59] Hows things brobostigon ? [08:00] just smartened myself up for a job interview, and you? [08:02] 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] :) \o/ [08:05] shave every face hair :) [08:05] unless it makes you look 3 yrs old [08:06] * brobostigon has a fairly well groomed full moustache, i aint shaving that off. [08:07] Defo wouldn't pass the interview with a moustache! [08:07] :P [08:08] :( [08:12] What times the interview brobostigon ? And what work/role? [08:14] diplo: 11am, electronics, retail. [08:14] Well good luck, retail :( but hope it all goes well mate! [08:15] :) [09:53] fingers crossed you get the position [09:55] and agree about retail... my first job was in retail... i could have endured it if it weren't for the customers... [10:24] howdy all [11:53] how do i install skype on ubuntu these days? [11:55] get the weird deb from skype.com? [11:56] https://www.skype.com/en/download-skype/skype-for-linux/ yes it's a deb [11:56] does this version support desktop sharing? [11:57] not sure without looking at the pag [11:57] page [11:58] doesn't mention it, so not sure [11:58] hey MooDoo [11:58] 4.3 (the old one) kind of supports it but the picture always comes out messed up and unreadable [11:59] 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] i dont want to share my screen, i want to see other peoples - they're using windows [11:59] i note it says "outgoing" [11:59] probably an issue with screenscraping X [12:52] I believe it sort of works ali1234 - I'm running it I think now, I can test with a colleague for you [12:54] I think they've removed it, sure I saw it there before [12:56] Ah, I remember now, I can view a shared screen, can't share mine [13:01] that's exactly what i need [13:16] seen on slashdot comments: "Elon is going to end up like Howard Hughes." [13:16] sounds about right... [13:40] speaking of elon musk. I've got a copy of alien covenant to watch [13:40] (peter weyland was totally modelled on elon, or vicky verky) [13:41] ref: https://vimeo.com/50383392 [13:42] skype screen share was a total fail. worked for about 5 seconds, then turned into a blocky mess, then froze completely :( [13:42] luckily the firmware updater was just a big "UPDATE" button, nothing complicated [13:43] Big red Button :) [13:43] OF DOOM [13:48] wait is that guy pierce? [13:48] *pearce [13:49] i had no idea he was in those movies [15:28] How did your interview go brobostigon ??? [15:30] diplo: i think nominally well, [15:31] Good to hear, good luck! [15:31] fingers and toes crossed. [16:05] * diddledan offers good luck hugs [16:05] any excuse for a hug, really [16:06] :) [16:09] 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] not that I'm evil or anything [16:13] popey: oh not in stock till Thursday :D [16:29] interesting developments at konversation: https://blogs.kde.org/2017/09/05/konversation-2x-2018-new-user-interface-matrix-support-mobile-version [16:33] eesh, I've had to turn the lights on already [16:33] where did summer go?! [16:34] davmor2: even better would be speaker+led+smart [16:34] make the lights flicker [16:34] and ghostly wails [16:35] this is fun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpKj4Avjmuo [16:51] diddledan: well plasma-mobile is still a thing so it would be for that I guess :) [20:19] I never knew that there is a ##baseball channel on Freenode [20:19] o rry [20:19] i tend to just watch it with folk i chat to anyway [20:23] baseball on irc... oh for the good old days of cricket on teletext? :-P [20:27] 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 [20:28] used to use it as a smoothwall router [20:28] you could use the case for a rasp pi cluster... :-) [20:29] omg, snotwall is a name I've not heard in a long time! [20:29] are they even still going?! [20:29] * diddledan googlies [20:29] so old, even i've heard of it :-P [20:30] might be, not sure about as a free product [20:30] last release 2014 [20:30] oh god, they've gone corporate [20:31] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SmoothWall [20:32] diddledan: do I buy this? https://store.netgate.com/SG-3100.aspx [20:33] preorder o0 [20:33] wtf is mikrobus? [20:34] daftykins: yes, it's a pre-order. [20:34] Coming out in October [20:35] i wouldn't fancy getting in on something early [20:35] diddledan: seems to be some kind of addon thing. like bluetooth, nfc all that crap. probably never use it. [20:39] I've been following this for a long time. It pushes GbE speeds without breaking a sweat. [20:39] looks quite decent [20:39] I like the fact you can add storage via m.2 [20:40] That is handy. Plus drop in a LTE modem for backup :) [20:42] pssh maybe if you can get a decent low rate plan [20:42] Doubtful in Canada lol [20:45] so smoothwall are currently running linux 3.16 [20:45] from their forum: "linux 3.16 was released during August 2014, thus Update8/SP3 may not support the latest hardware" [20:46] heh [20:46] no poo, sherlock! [20:46] 'cause you're totally buying a ryzen box for a router [20:46] ;D [20:46] well, I was thinking about it [20:46] :-p [20:48] it's new, it's shiny... [20:49] zmoylan-pi: i played with the nokia 3310 2017 edition today! [20:49] no SIM though so couldn't see much [20:49] have you seen the size of those threadripper packages?! [20:49] 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... [20:50] about twice the surface area of an i9: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Fr1ZlUu8v_Q/maxresdefault.jpg [20:50] diddledan: yeah, but then there's a layout of 2 x 2 and only 2 are real silicon! it's a faaaaaake! [20:51] o_O [20:51] y'seen that? [20:51] not DS9, the 2 x 2 layout [20:52] http://cdn.overclock.net/c/c0/500x1000px-LL-c08df673_article-630x354.90c8d2d6.jpeg [20:52] so they've put four on the package but only two light up? [20:53] nah two are just dumb silicon i think that's just meant for contact [20:53] but it suggested that maybe they could put 4 real ones on the single package, mmm [20:53] assuming there's actually enough pins and gubbins for all that [20:53] I'm not understanding the "dumb silicon" bit [20:53] so not an actual fabbed chip but just a piece of metal [20:54] why not just leave it off entirely though? [20:54] different nokias on sale... https://twitter.com/angryearthling/status/905172242191015937 [20:56] think it has some kind of cooling benefit, i forget - maybe it was just that it helps spread the pressure evenly [20:56] i've no idea where i read that now [20:56] of course, then you get the photoshops: http://images.anandtech.com/doci/11636/dbwthwoxkaeehmw-1.jpg.324b24f4c47236d1eaf463abf6ad95a3.jpg [20:56] I can tell that's shopped because of the pixies [20:57] i wonder if it's easy to tell if you've tightened the three screws of the socket enough :> [20:57] I think you've probably got a point about the potential for replacing the dead bits with live chips tho [20:58] futureproof the design upfront save inventing a new socket when you light up the dead zones [20:58] perhaps it has pressure sensors inside the package [20:59] :-p [20:59] ooh hey this looks relevant - https://www.overclock3d.net/news/cpu_mainboard/amd_clarifies_why_threadripper_uses_4_silicon_dies/1 [20:59] why would you drop a grand on a chip like that and destroy it straight away?! [21:00] that der8auer must have money up the wazoo to cope with dropping that loss [21:01] heh delidding is common to get some proper cooling on there, obviously some crazy overclocker [21:01] there are scare stories of high end cooling solutions causing IHS' to pop and destroy everything [21:04] wat: "Analysts at Kerrisdale Capital Investments have predicted that AMD will file for bankruptcy in 2020" [21:04] oh, that article is two years old [21:04] even more wat then :-p [21:05] heh [21:05] analysts are a strange bunch trying to justify their existence by inventing random crud [21:06] 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] I hadn't [21:06] coffee lake iirc [21:06] doesn't surprise me - amd really upped their game [21:07] mm, still trailing in a lot of ways i felt though (from benchmark glancing) [21:07] i can't really claim to do multithreaded stuff for AMD to apply to me [21:07] I wonder what they're like for compiling [21:07] * diddledan unwraps a gentoo :-p [21:07] put that penguin down!
