oerheksis WSL really a good idea ? http://www.zdnet.com/article/windows-10s-subsystem-for-linux-heres-how-hackers-could-use-it-to-hide-malware/16:59
naccoerheks: is W really a good idea? :)17:01
oerheksnacc, i was happy with it, back in '9817:04
pauljwexcellent point nacc :)17:04
naccoerheks: heh ... almost 20 years ago!17:05
naccpauljw: :)17:05
nacci mean, i guess i get it, it's a way to gain entry into that world17:05
oerheksyeah, when there was flightsimulator..17:05
naccand you hope to convince people to migrate eventually17:05
naccbut ... i don't think that model actually works17:05
pauljwmany of didn't know better back then.17:05
oerheksmy 1st start with linux was back in 2002/2003 .. i failed, for many times :-(17:07
oerheksthen came knoppix ... and it went fast17:07
ducasse\o everyone17:28
BluesKajo/ ducasse :-)17:30
ducassehey, how are you BluesKaj, all well?17:31
BluesKajyes, fine here ducasse, and you?17:31
ducassetotally exhausted, but good :) had a really busy day here, finally back home and collapsed on the sofa :)17:32
BluesKajstill raining there?17:35
ducasseno, it's been fine today despite the forecast. we'll see tomorrow, the forecast says we've got two days of thunderstorms coming...17:36
BluesKajassume busy @ work17:37
ducasseme?17:37
BluesKajyes, or do you work from home?17:37
ducasseoh, i no longer work - i'm disabled now. just had a _lot_ of stuff to do today, so i've been out all day.17:40
BluesKajok, understood17:41
immuhi BluesKaj ducasse EriC^^ hi all17:46
EriC^^hi immu17:46
ducassehi immu, EriC^^17:47
EriC^^hi ducasse17:47
EriC^^pretty calm in the ubuntu support channel17:47
ducassewas just about to ask if there had been anything interesting in #u today17:48
oerheksyes17:48
ducassehi oerheks :)17:49
EriC^^i only signed in a while ago, it's pretty quiet though17:49
oerheksif one cannot change things in their bios, one needs to set biospassword first17:49
EriC^^i think it must have to do with having to register to talk in the channel17:49
oerheksthis solves some issues i encountered earlier17:49
EriC^^we should get them to remove that17:50
oerheks+ R ? that is because of the trolling spammers17:50
ducassethat's common on certain firmwares, yes17:50
EriC^^especially acer17:51
ducasseyup, among others17:52
EriC^^oerheks: yup, but the user count has gone from about 1400 to like 1000 since that happened17:53
oerheksoh, but some bouncers are blocked to, AFAIK17:54
EriC^^i wonder if one can talk in ubuntu-unregged17:54
EriC^^hmm, maybe they can put some kind of feature like the freenode channel has, where if you join you have to be voiced by a bot after some minutes before you can talk17:55
EriC^^maybe that can apply it for unregged users, they can join but have to wait a few mins before asking, maybe give a msg to them about it and so they can prepare a question during that time17:55
EriC^^*that=they17:56
oerheksThat would be a good idea, but that needs more active ops17:56
EriC^^they can write a bot that does it automatically17:56
EriC^^let Drone handle it since he's already op'd17:56
EriC^^or you mean what if the spammers just wait a few mins then spam17:58
EriC^^i guess that wouldn't work much :D17:58
ducassethat's what i think would happen, the bots would just wait17:58
oerheksor make an #ubuntu and #ubuntu-support channel :-D17:58

BluesKajhi immu18:10
BluesKajheh, regged used to mean regulated, guees it means registered in irc18:11
BluesKajand guees means guess -18:15
EriC^^we could let the users fill in some kind of captcha18:20
EriC^^either on a website using google's captcha or some written one the bot uses18:21
EriC^^then they get voiced18:21
BluesKajthat could prevent some spam bots18:21
immuhmm18:38
ducasse"elricsfate_live (~mint@unaffiliated/elricsfate) has quit"19:22
ducasse"mint" - so that why he wouldn't answer which image he used...19:22
oerheksyeah..19:24
oerheksbut 2 uefi partition, ...19:24
oerheksno no refind is tha bomb.. rolf19:24
ducassei still say it's doable, but if he does what he said now, he'll just be using refind on one of them to boot both :)19:25
ducassemy desktop has two disks with an esp on each, and i can select which to boot by pressing f8.19:26
oerheksducasse, that is logical19:26
ducassei had to do that because reason when testing something, and it does work.19:27
ducasse*reasons19:27
ducassei don't support mint, though ;)19:29
oerhekscopy/paste i know why it is not working, use the real ubuntu, not mint19:29
oerheks:-D19:29
ducasse:)19:30
oerheksnom nom nom https://cdn.techzine.nl/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/WD-Gold_2-556x432.jpg19:31
ducasseit just annoys me when people try to deceive us like that. if they want to use mint they can bloody well use their support.19:31
ducasseoh, wow19:32
oerhekshttps://betanews.com/2017/09/12/western-digital-12tb-wd121kryz/19:32
ducassei could do with a few of those :)19:33
oerheksmade in Hoofddorp ( =nl)19:33
oerheksit is just a few miles from here19:33
oerheksplatters are made in thailand i guess19:33
immunighty boys19:34
ducasselate tonight, oerheks is on his way to hoofddorp on his bike to fill up the box with drives ;)19:34
oerheks $521.99 ... you want 10x ?19:34
ducassethat's actually not bad19:35
oerheks8+2 spare ?19:35
oerheks:-D19:35
ducassei should probably get some sleep soon, seems quiet here anyway19:39
oerheksYes, do so, eat some soup and sleep19:39
ducassesoup - good idea. maybe some noodles...19:40
ducasseoddly quiet here, i wonder where my furry friend went.19:43
