[06:21] morning boys and girls. [06:49] morning all [06:53] morning SuperMatt [07:16] how does this dreary morning find you? === Chrisfu- is now known as Chrisfu === Chrisfu is now known as Guest10261 === Chrisfu- is now known as Chrisfu [11:24] * diddledan pickles his walnuts [11:30] indeed [11:32] "lets fix the NHS IT systems. who should we get to head the project? how about ex TalkTalk CEO Dido Harding who oversaw the largest hack in UK history?" [11:32] http://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/10/18/mps_grill_dido_harding_over_suitability_to_chair_nhs_improvement/ [11:33] (I don't know whether it was the largest in uk history, but it sounded good when I toped it) [11:34] the comments page is gold [11:50] diddledan: I think they should hire the ex-Equifax head of security too [11:51] speaking of equifax, we don't need to be worried because the criminals already knew everything they stole anyway: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/10/18/internal_revenue_service_tells_americans_their_data_was_probably_stolen_before_equifax_lost_it/ [11:52] how do i update to current ? [11:52] `do-release-upgrade` [11:52] fine, burger off then [11:54] diddledan: I think one needs to ensure there is enough space for the upgrade to run cleanly. "rm -rf /" is a big help. [11:54] !danger [11:54] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND! That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! [11:54] * TwistedLucidity knows exactly what is missing, and it's that way for a reason [11:54] :-p [11:54] It's not dangerous [11:54] On a relatively modern system..... [11:55] I'd rather not put it to the test [11:55] !help [11:55] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [11:55] Huh, I thought that might tell me what the bang commands were [11:55] !man# [11:55] oops [11:56] wrong button [11:56] That was clever of me [11:56] Indeed [11:56] !man [11:56] The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | Manpages online: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/ [11:56] LOL. OK, I'll stop playing [12:07] Microsoft are relaunching the intellimouse: https://www.thurrott.com/hardware/141834/microsoft-teases-intellimouse-comeback [12:11] Package mercurial is not available, but is referred to by another package. [12:11] anyone know where to get mercurial on 17.04? [12:12] i'm building a container, so i might not have universe enabled..that could be my issue [12:13] is universe repo enabled? [12:14] it's definitely in that release: https://packages.ubuntu.com/zesty/mercurial [12:15] yeah looks like i need to enable ..time to find a one liner that isn't out of date [12:17] sudo add-apt-repository universe -y [12:17] allegedly [12:18] I used to like the Intellimouse [12:18] Make a wireless version of it, might pick one up for work. [12:19] this is ducked-up https://twitter.com/adafruit/status/920498488831508480 [12:22] eww there's a add-apt-repository and apt-add-repository on 14.04 [12:26] diddledan: Who's banned? What? [12:26] Lady Ada from Adafruit [12:26] * TwistedLucidity does not Twitter and struggles to follow the timelines [12:27] Meh, probably a cockrel-up somewhere (to keep the bird theme going) [12:27] and. some idiots have actually built giant robot soldiers ready for AI to subvert into terminators: https://youtu.be/Z-ouLX8Q9UM [12:28] As for the mouse, quite like my Logitech and there's loads of decent ones around. No reason to fund Microsoft. [12:34] Heh, Aikido (the Art of Peace) at 11 seconds in that vid [12:36] Can't watch much into the video, voice over is horrendous [12:56] yeah, I don't like that style of sports commentary [12:56] it's very "american" [14:03] lol. quote from wynonna earp: "You know Doc, the more he feels, the less he says. Like a masseuse.." [14:28] I like Wynonna Earp, finished it already though. === elky is now known as el
