| daftykins | haha :> | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| zmoylan-pi | on my super deluxe tesco wharfdale region 0 dvd player... | 00:00 |
| daftykins | wow a wharfedale eh | 00:02 |
| zmoylan-pi | no expense spared | 00:02 |
| daftykins | cor this Firefox Quantum is fast | 00:02 |
| zmoylan-pi | i've read that | 00:03 |
| * zmoylan-pi sticks with vivaldi | 00:03 | |
| daftykins | any particular reason, or just fond of underdogs? | 00:04 |
| zmoylan-pi | deffo a fan of no#2. as casanundra the dwarf said, no#2 tries harder :-) | 00:05 |
| zmoylan-pi | firefox seems intent on butchering the ui i used to like, chrome is creepy google | 00:06 |
| zmoylan-pi | when i try chromium i just wonder how much google is left in it | 00:06 |
| zmoylan-pi | and i used to love opera back in the day | 00:08 |
| daftykins | not found any issues with FF myself over the moons | 00:09 |
| diddledan | my first DVD was "sphere" | 00:09 |
| diddledan | because it came with the DVD drive IIRC | 00:09 |
| daftykins | mine was Enemy of the State | 00:10 |
| zmoylan-pi | never seen either | 00:10 |
| daftykins | i'd just gotten the creative labs 6x drive, Dxr2 decoder card ... and the Pentium 1 wasn't fast enough to play it. | 00:10 |
| zmoylan-pi | you think that's bad. a mate order a region dvd from usa. he spent 6 months of having card refused as he was not america, address refused as he was not american so he arranged an american mate to order, pack and deliver it | 00:11 |
| zmoylan-pi | every step of the way it failed for the most stupid of reasons. till finally it was on it's way. it was going to arrive the next day. | 00:12 |
| daftykins | and it didn't have Irish subs? | 00:12 |
| * daftykins ducks | 00:12 | |
| zmoylan-pi | and someone broke in and stole his dvd player with region switching ability and giant ass tv.... | 00:12 |
| daftykins | !!! | 00:13 |
| zmoylan-pi | he asks me if i can play it... i asked him to nick the bosses ultraportable tablet jobbie. had a dvd player... you could change the region 3 times... we changed it twice that day :-) | 00:13 |
| daftykins | heh yeah won't have had the disk space for a rip back then, were it even possible! | 00:16 |
| daftykins | whether DVD Jon had been bored yet or not... | 00:16 |
| zmoylan-pi | it was... but it needed 5gb of space free to rip it... but i had no region 1 dvd player that would read it | 00:17 |
| zmoylan-pi | i was ripping a lot of dvds at work at the time... at night | 00:18 |
| zmoylan-pi | there was great chinese vcd copy software that worked fine with a bit of adjustment | 00:23 |
| daftykins | :D | 00:27 |
| diddledan | Creating snapcraft-temptedly-defunct-ashlee | 00:28 |
| diddledan | I love those names | 00:28 |
| daftykins | ceiling cat loves snapcraft | 00:29 |
| daftykins | oh i have to sleep, the window guy is coming back at 7am ;_; | 00:29 |
| diddledan | :-o | 00:29 |
| daftykins | but maybe i'll have finished windows! | 00:29 |
| zmoylan-pi | o/ | 00:29 |
| diddledan | that's crazy oily | 00:29 |
| daftykins | yee it's quite mean | 00:30 |
| daftykins | and the window is in my bedroom so i can't even slink off! | 00:30 |
| zmoylan-pi | you can do a sharon stone moment :-P | 00:31 |
| diddledan | you need to open the door in your sexy neglige | 00:33 |
| daftykins | instead i'm lying in bed and Mischief is cleaning her... rear on the top of the sheets perhaps | 00:34 |
| daftykins | maybe with a few dead mice draped around for lulz | 00:34 |
| daftykins | g'night team \o | 00:41 |
| MooDoo | howdy all | 05:07 |
| diplo | Morning all | 07:17 |
| SuperMatt | Good morning | 07:17 |
| MooDoo | morning diplo SuperMatt | 07:27 |
| diplo | Nearly Friday! How are you both ? | 07:46 |
| MooDoo | diplo: it's annoying how you can come into work excited about the day ahead, read your emails and then be in a total funk :D | 07:47 |
| diplo | I want to graph data flow on 3 x Draytek Routers, any of you guys recommend anything ? | 07:47 |
| diplo | I don't think I ever come to work excited to be honest anymore | 07:47 |
| diplo | But I see your point | 07:47 |
| MooDoo | https://www.draytek.co.uk/archive/kb_vigor_dataflowmonitor.html this help diplo ? | 07:49 |
| diplo | yeah I use that already, but more I want to collate it somewhere - use SNMP most likely - we monitor the routers already, but want to grab the info remotely to see peaks etc | 07:49 |
| diplo | opennms looks a bit heavy | 07:51 |
| MooDoo | nagios? spiceworks? | 07:53 |
| diplo | We use Nagios ( well I do, not sure anyone else has ever worked on it ) - just looked like a complete PITA, use solarwinds at a previous job, not after a long term solution really but I guess I'll give them all a try | 07:54 |
| SuperMatt | Monitor nothing! Build for failure | 08:04 |
| diplo | heh, we've been like that for the last 25 years | 08:11 |
| diplo | I'm trying to change the company, they're all very old staff and change is hard | 08:11 |
| MooDoo | diplo: sounds familiar | 08:12 |
| diplo | Really need to find a job elsewhere, but generally it's easy enough, just the frustration mounts at times | 08:20 |
| MooDoo | diplo: you sound like me mate lol..... | 08:21 |
| diplo | heh, my problem I don't do change very often, last job was 13 years, one previous to that was 6, this ones now at 7 :) | 08:21 |
| MooDoo | diplo: yeah 5 years is my max for the last 4 jobs lol | 08:22 |
| MooDoo | diplo: ever thought about starting something yourself? | 08:22 |
| brobostigon | morning boys and girls. | 08:22 |
| diplo | MooDoo: I have lots, my biggest issue is billing people, I suck... I find it hard enough where I am now, I think we're overcharging them :D | 08:24 |
| diplo | I have a few customers outside work, and sure I could get loads more, they basically pay me what they think I'm worth, works for me | 08:25 |
| diplo | A friend of mine has also suggested some work, just trying to talk him into it. | 08:26 |
| diplo | SAP upgrades, he'd do the SAP stuff, I'd do everything else. 50k for a weekends work | 08:27 |
| MooDoo | diplo: sweet, i've been thinking about doing linux stuff myself, but I'm not brave enough lol | 08:39 |
| diplo | This would be both linux and windows, I guess the aim is to start without leaving your current job, pick up clientelle until your at a level it needs to be full time | 08:41 |
| diplo | Enough work to do full time ? | 08:42 |
| diplo | Can come work for us and sort our company out if you like, could do with someone in the nott office to bang heads :d | 08:42 |
| MooDoo | diplo: i'd end up killing someone, i'm gobby and loud lol | 08:43 |
| MooDoo | i'm also tempted to code a web application something for dentists or something like that.... | 08:43 |
| MooDoo | full server with os and application to be installed onsite.....something like that any way | 08:44 |
| diplo | Problem with that is it would have to be passing lots of checks for data ? | 08:44 |
| diplo | But sounds like a money making exercise :) | 08:44 |
| diplo | From what I've seen of their software, it sucks | 08:44 |
| MooDoo | just in my thoughts at the moment. | 08:44 |
| MooDoo | brb | 08:50 |
| diplo | Worth a thought, 10 years ago I was going to write something for takeaways to order online... mates said it was a stupid idea, no we have justeat and a multitude of others :( | 08:53 |
| daftykins | heh, doh! | 08:55 |
| daftykins | even the rock has gotten on the bandwagon with food.gg - i see folks with tablets on behind the counter awaiting the orders coming in | 08:55 |
| diplo | heh, defo the future! although I do hate people being on their phones etc all the time. I ban it when I'm out :) | 08:59 |
| daftykins | as you should, there's one particular mate and his wife in our group that are both screen watchers | 09:01 |
| diplo | yeah, we have the same. Sucks really that it's gotten like this | 09:03 |
| daftykins | if i knew them better i'd definitely say something | 09:03 |
| diplo | hah, that never stops me :P | 09:04 |
| daftykins | :D | 09:04 |
| daftykins | the funny part is that i sometimes think, well if one guy wasn't checking his phone he'd not see me asking where they are! | 09:04 |
| diplo | :) | 09:07 |
| daftykins | but yep, lessons for all to rediscover how to be 'present' are definitely tempting | 09:10 |
| zmoylan-pi | isn't there a thing were everyone puts their phone face down on the table and first one to flip it pays penalty? | 12:16 |
| diddledan | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEkCI7Og9bk | 12:31 |
| diplo | zmoylan-pi: What I've seen before is sticking it in a pile and the first one to get their phone pays for the meal | 12:51 |
| diddledan | isn't there a rule about going home with the person whose phone you pick up? | 13:11 |
| diddledan | grr. what's wrong with mir on my raspi?! | 13:12 |
| diddledan | Sep 26 20:32:07 localhost mir-kiosk.mir-kiosk[1138]: /snap/mir-kiosk/35/bin/run-miral: line 68: 1639 Floating point exception${SNAP}/usr/bin/${bin_to_run} --vt 1 --arw-file --file /run/mir_socket | 13:14 |
| diplo | Can't say I know much about ( read nothing ) about MIR | 13:54 |
| diddledan | me either :-p | 13:55 |
| foobarry | how does this wifiextender work? https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/cre/NETGEAR-EX2700-100UKS-WiFi-Range-Extender-Wi-Fi-Booster/B00NIUHAG6 | 19:48 |
| daftykins | double hop, don't touch it! | 19:49 |
| daftykins | a wired or wifi device has to send packets to it, which are then sent again to your main router - so it's a joke | 19:49 |
| foobarry | my sister hasa dead zone in her house | 19:50 |
| daftykins | i'd either: 1) cable and put an access point / wired socket on the end 2) try out powerline adapters (depending on the electrical setup in the property) | 19:51 |
| foobarry | think she tried 2) | 19:51 |
| daftykins | hrmm | 19:51 |
| foobarry | access point is double hop but wired link is more reliable i guess | 19:53 |
| daftykins | yeah it's totally moot when you have a proper cable between, a guy with a big house (technically two houses) i work for, i have a 6 AP setup going on | 19:53 |
| foobarry | which AP are you using? | 19:54 |
| daftykins | we've got quite an old setup there, as the place was kitted out from 2010... let's have a look what i'd pick today - is a hardwire run practical there? | 19:55 |
| daftykins | super low end 2.4GHz only - https://www.amazon.co.uk/TP-LINK-TL-WA901ND-Wireless-Access-Point/dp/B013HCO332/ or dual band and -ac: https://www.amazon.co.uk/NETGEAR-WAC104-100UKS-WAC104-Business-Wireless/dp/B01LWUJU8H/ | 19:56 |
| daftykins | you might want to dig further and find something moddable with an open firmware though, not sure | 19:57 |
| foobarry | thx | 19:58 |
| daftykins | np ^_^ | 19:58 |
| daftykins | anyone had any exposure to older ADSL2 Draytek Vigor routers? curious whether it's worth trusting their VPN features | 20:27 |
| zmoylan-pi | older... vpn... not words to enspire trust? :-) | 20:42 |
| daftykins | indeed | 20:42 |
| daftykins | and theirs is on an outdated firmware too XD only a small office but so many things for me to tackle | 20:42 |
| zmoylan-pi | on these occasions i am reminded of the wise words in ronin... if there is any doubt there is no doubt :-) | 20:43 |
| daftykins | :D | 20:43 |
| * zmoylan-pi makes note to watch great film again... | 20:44 | |
| * zmoylan-pi currently is watching darmok of tng... great episode | 21:04 | |
| diddledan | 21st of September: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERoo4_xX478 | 21:29 |
| diddledan | at least we didn't blow up the planet | 21:30 |
| daftykins | well, today | 21:31 |
| daftykins | er, well you know - then :P | 21:31 |
| diddledan | youtube is annoying me with adverts for converse where miley cyrus is pretending to be a journalist/interviewer | 21:33 |
| diddledan | the problem is she's interviewing people who just wanted exposure | 21:34 |
| diddledan | it's painful | 21:34 |
| ali1234 | haha so the alert turned out to be just regular evangelical christian broadcasting the same thing they broadcast every day? | 21:36 |
| zmoylan-pi | they're adverts.... pitched at people who watch adverts... you'd need to be some flippin eejit to like them | 21:36 |
| daftykins | diddledan: no adblocker? o0 | 21:42 |
| zmoylan-pi | whenever i see other peoples browsers i'm reminded of tv in idiocracy... http://www.bontheball.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/idiocracy-ow-my-balls.jpg | 21:45 |
| diddledan | I love Ow! My Balls! | 21:46 |
| zmoylan-pi | they never bettered you've been framed | 21:47 |
| zmoylan-pi | well except for the japanese game show endurance but there the pain was often mental | 21:51 |
| daftykins | as a viewer or contestant? | 21:52 |
| zmoylan-pi | i mean when you saw what they did to the contestants it made you realise why it took to late 70s to get that soldier to give up... | 21:52 |
| zmoylan-pi | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEOz7gaFfmU | 21:54 |
