[05:18] good morning to all [05:26] hey Bashing-om [05:26] Bashing-om: not sure if vivekenanda's issue was solved yesterday [05:34] lotuspsychje: Ubknown .. But I bet that installing with a EFI usb did the trick . [05:34] might be [05:34] unknown* [06:17] Good morning [06:30] hey lordievader [06:43] on the train lordievader ? [07:25] Hey lotuspsychje. No. Finished my master assignment, no need anymore to travel to Utrecht. [07:25] How are you doing? [07:33] good nite - 'Nuf \o === kostkon_ is now known as kostkon [11:58] Hi folks [14:12] interesting, Popey announced https://community.ubuntu.com/ > https://popey.com/blog/posts/new-ubuntu-community-hub-launched.html [14:12] :D [14:13] hi popey, this is more in line with askubuntu, looks good! [14:14] Thanks. Suggestions for improvements most welcome! [14:14] * oerheks continues washing windows* ( not the trademark) [15:00] I downloaded this desktop news/weather app called Coffee that was featured on OMGUbuntu and it's really, really bad [15:00] why is OMGUbuntu recommending crap like that [15:01] Like, it takes up 1/3 of my desktop and is always-on-top. no way to change that setting. There's only 6 possible news sources to choose from, mostly international (BBC, etc), and it wouldn't even load once I set those sources and my location for weather. Just kept spinning the loading icon for 10 mins. [15:01] WHY would anyone use that over something like newsbeuter or just a damn browser. [15:03] Spotify client also seems to have gotten 2 updates within the last week. And they seem to be major updates because it removes my desktop icon each time and makes me re-add it. Usually there are months between updates for spotify. [15:03] Maybe they're finally devoting some resources to us poor linux fools? [15:04] still can't read the fonts on a large monitor, there no font options [15:05] on spotify linux [15:06] readable on a 50inch TV on windows, but not linux [15:24] Odd. Ubuntu fonts usually scale really well, but idk if they're using Ubuntu fonts. [15:24] I do use Spotify on my HTPC and throw it up on the 55-inch in the living room often, don't usually have much trouble. [15:30] spotify fonts aren't readable from 10' away here [15:31] and I still don't need glasses :-) [15:59] Mh [16:16] Mh [16:24] mhz [16:36] interesting. NordVPN has a Chrome extension now and it puts all Chrome traffic through the VPN but nothing else. [16:47] I'm using PIA , it has a lot of servers and also a separate proxy thru the netherlands for various clients like irc or torrents etc. [16:57] nicomachus, I've read good things about the Nord vpn service [17:04] BluesKaj: I like it much better than PIA. PIA was getting too politically active for my tastes, and doing it in a way I despise. Nord let pay for 2 years with a pre-paid VISA card and I've seen better speeds and more options for connections. [17:09] nicomachus, I see, my internet connection is basic dsl here in the boonies and I haven't noticed much diff between DL speeds with it, as for thier political actions, the only thing I know about is their dispute with Russia about vpn privacy issues, so they pulled the servers there. [17:10] they've been getting into US politics with very misleading, click-bait headlines on their blog. And donating to political causes. No thanks. I want a VPN tht focuses on providing VPN service. Not politics. [17:11] And I have a gigabit fiber connection so I definitely notice the speed. [17:12] I see Nordvpn has a 72% off sale for 2 yrs serveice...very tempting ,but I just paid up for a year back in April. I'll check them out again next spring [17:13] Yea that's the deal I got. === JanC is now known as Guest6853 === JanC_ is now known as JanC [17:50] nicomachus, just found out that PIA also has the vpn extension for google-chrome, just finished setting it up
