[14:18] Hi EriC^^ [14:18] good thanks [14:19] hey BluesKaj [14:22] fog has finally lifted and the sun is poking thru [14:24] nice [14:34] nice cool rainy day here today, 62F. === JanC is now known as Guest39146 === JanC_ is now known as JanC [16:59] is WSL really a good idea ? http://www.zdnet.com/article/windows-10s-subsystem-for-linux-heres-how-hackers-could-use-it-to-hide-malware/ [17:01] oerheks: is W really a good idea? :) [17:04] nacc, i was happy with it, back in '98 [17:04] excellent point nacc :) [17:05] oerheks: heh ... almost 20 years ago! [17:05] pauljw: :) [17:05] i mean, i guess i get it, it's a way to gain entry into that world [17:05] yeah, when there was flightsimulator.. [17:05] and you hope to convince people to migrate eventually [17:05] but ... i don't think that model actually works [17:05] many of didn't know better back then. [17:07] my 1st start with linux was back in 2002/2003 .. i failed, for many times :-( [17:07] then came knoppix ... and it went fast [17:28] \o everyone [17:30] o/ ducasse :-) [17:31] hey, how are you BluesKaj, all well? [17:31] yes, fine here ducasse, and you? [17:32] totally exhausted, but good :) had a really busy day here, finally back home and collapsed on the sofa :) [17:35] still raining there? [17:36] no, it's been fine today despite the forecast. we'll see tomorrow, the forecast says we've got two days of thunderstorms coming... [17:37] assume busy @ work [17:37] me? [17:37] yes, or do you work from home? [17:40] oh, i no longer work - i'm disabled now. just had a _lot_ of stuff to do today, so i've been out all day. [17:41] ok, understood [17:46] hi BluesKaj ducasse EriC^^ hi all [17:46] hi immu [17:47] hi immu, EriC^^ [17:47] hi ducasse [17:47] pretty calm in the ubuntu support channel [17:48] was just about to ask if there had been anything interesting in #u today [17:48] yes [17:49] hi oerheks :) [17:49] i only signed in a while ago, it's pretty quiet though [17:49] if one cannot change things in their bios, one needs to set biospassword first [17:49] i think it must have to do with having to register to talk in the channel [17:49] this solves some issues i encountered earlier [17:50] we should get them to remove that [17:50] + R ? that is because of the trolling spammers [17:50] that's common on certain firmwares, yes [17:51] especially acer [17:52] yup, among others [17:53] oerheks: yup, but the user count has gone from about 1400 to like 1000 since that happened [17:54] oh, but some bouncers are blocked to, AFAIK [17:54] i wonder if one can talk in ubuntu-unregged [17:55] 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 talk [17:55] 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 time [17:56] *that=they [17:56] That would be a good idea, but that needs more active ops [17:56] they can write a bot that does it automatically [17:56] let Drone handle it since he's already op'd [17:58] or you mean what if the spammers just wait a few mins then spam [17:58] i guess that wouldn't work much :D [17:58] that's what i think would happen, the bots would just wait [17:58] or make an #ubuntu and #ubuntu-support channel :-D === JanC_ is now known as JanC [18:10] hi immu [18:11] heh, regged used to mean regulated, guees it means registered in irc [18:15] and guees means guess - [18:20] we could let the users fill in some kind of captcha [18:21] either on a website using google's captcha or some written one the bot uses [18:21] then they get voiced [18:21] that could prevent some spam bots [18:38] hmm [19:22] "elricsfate_live (~mint@unaffiliated/elricsfate) has quit" [19:22] "mint" - so that why he wouldn't answer which image he used... [19:24] yeah.. [19:24] but 2 uefi partition, ... [19:24] no no refind is tha bomb.. rolf [19:25] i 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 :) [19:26] my desktop has two disks with an esp on each, and i can select which to boot by pressing f8. [19:26] ducasse, that is logical [19:27] i had to do that because reason when testing something, and it does work. [19:27] *reasons [19:29] i don't support mint, though ;) [19:29] copy/paste i know why it is not working, use the real ubuntu, not mint [19:29] :-D [19:30] :) [19:31] nom nom nom https://cdn.techzine.nl/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/WD-Gold_2-556x432.jpg [19:31] it just annoys me when people try to deceive us like that. if they want to use mint they can bloody well use their support. [19:32] oh, wow [19:32] https://betanews.com/2017/09/12/western-digital-12tb-wd121kryz/ [19:33] i could do with a few of those :) [19:33] made in Hoofddorp ( =nl) [19:33] it is just a few miles from here [19:33] platters are made in thailand i guess [19:34] nighty boys [19:34] late tonight, oerheks is on his way to hoofddorp on his bike to fill up the box with drives ;) [19:34] $521.99 ... you want 10x ? [19:35] that's actually not bad [19:35] 8+2 spare ? [19:35] :-D [19:39] i should probably get some sleep soon, seems quiet here anyway [19:39] Yes, do so, eat some soup and sleep [19:40] soup - good idea. maybe some noodles... [19:43] oddly quiet here, i wonder where my furry friend went. === nacc_ is now known as nacc === Metacity|uh-oh is now known as Metacity
