[12:46] <zmoylan-pi> the looks of pity when people realise you're british? :-P
[12:48] <popey> been a very busy weekend, UbuCon was great.
[12:48] <popey> We ran a couple of snapcraft workshops which went well.
[12:52] <diplo> brobostigon: The parisians :) people in France are great, been visiting for 30+ years.. only met a few Parisians I like :)
[12:52] <brobostigon> diplo: ah, :)
[12:54] <diddledan> popey: was there anything worth recording for youtube? and if so were those things recorded for youtube?
[12:54] <popey> i think a few were recorded by the ubuntufun german guys
[12:55]  * diddledan likes boobtubing tech stuff
[12:55] <popey> not all though
[12:59] <ali1234> anyone dealt with fedex importing stuff?
[13:00] <ali1234> i'm trying to set up an account with them so i don't have to pay their advancement fee on top of the VAT
[13:00] <ali1234> if i try to google this all i get is people complaining about it because they didn't set up an account
[13:00] <ali1234> their online chat wasn't super helpful either
[13:03] <diddledan> "I'm sorry Mr Ali, I don't know what bitty coin is"
[13:04]  * diddledan goes for some icy cream
[13:06] <daftykins> diddledan: :O where?!
[13:08] <zmoylan-pi> he's pouring a speedbump and looting the ice cream van when it passes...
[13:08] <diddledan> :-p
[13:08] <daftykins> genius!
[13:09] <zmoylan-pi> feels better when you earn the loot... :-)
[13:09] <diddledan> whether you earn it or not, who can be bothered paying?!
[13:10] <diddledan> so much easier to just nick it all
[13:10] <diddledan> weird. a company locally I do work for has a bug where apache will sigsegv every friday
[13:11] <daftykins> haha :D
[13:11] <daftykins> it takes the weekends off as well eh
[13:11] <diddledan> aye
[13:14] <daftykins> what're you running on their kit, OS wise?
[13:15] <zmoylan-pi> cleaner running the hoover beside their server at those times? :-)
[13:16] <daftykins> or an employee with a very static generating outfit on? as per The Register's Friday "On-Call" segment
[13:16] <zmoylan-pi> ah, mr. polyester is back...
[14:01] <MooDoo> howdy all
[14:02] <daftykins> \o
[14:02] <daftykins> how goes it?
[14:03] <MooDoo> yeah not bad thanks :) just installed aardvard to see what the daily build is like.
[14:03] <MooDoo> *aardvark
[14:04] <daftykins> ooh-err
[14:04] <MooDoo> loving the transparency
[14:17] <MooDoo> :)
[19:38] <foobarry> given that ipplayer requires a login, does anyone know how this affects get_iplayer?
[19:40] <daftykins> does it fail?
[19:40] <brobostigon> there are two parameters for get-iplayer, --bbciplayer-username --bbciplayer-password or something along those lines.
[19:45] <brobostigon> thats streamlink i was thinking of, sorry.
[19:46] <brobostigon> my apologies.
[19:49] <foobarry> dunno yet, but the website just started asking for a login
[19:49] <daftykins> oh so it was only today? mmm
[19:49] <daftykins> well i won't pay for a TV license since i don't have a broadcast service here at all, so that means no more BBC for me beyond radio!
[20:05] <zmoylan-pi> they were looking at bringing in licence fee here in ireland even if you didn't have a tv buy had a tablet, laptop that could stream tv from web...
[20:14] <daftykins> ah yeah, i think the Dutch or Danes pay a mandatory tax on top of their broadband services
[20:15] <zmoylan-pi> and canada at one time had a tax on blank media usb drives because those thieving canadians were going to fill them with illegal mp3s...
[20:21] <daftykins> tsk tsk!
[20:31] <daftykins> Eau my... https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/09/11/gemini_psion_alike_pre_production_prototype_handson/
[20:32] <zmoylan-pi> it does look nice....
[20:33] <zmoylan-pi> i'd prefer linux instead of android but you can't have everything...
[20:36] <daftykins> says on page 2 it dual boots?
[20:37] <zmoylan-pi> ooh, missed that... i do remember the kickstarter was linux but i stopped reading earlier when i saw android...
[20:38] <daftykins> ;)
[22:17] <Gargoyle> Can anyone offer any advice on crackling mic recording on a realtek HD audio (Shows ad HD-Audio Generic). I've done some googling and found some intel related tweaks relating to modprobe and pulseaudio, but none that work.
[22:17] <Gargoyle> Hardware is good, recordings are crystal clear under Windows.
