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