[00:40] daftykins: APU2 board in and working [00:41] :D [00:41] It's performing way better than my shitty Celeron :) [00:41] i still haven't done anything about updating the Spain one to pfsense 2.4 [00:42] I install 2.4.1 on it and restored my config onto it. So no config was lost :) [00:42] I'd like to get the LEDs at the front working, but it's not super important. [00:43] ah yeah i saw only the left hand one lights up green for power on with my clients one [00:43] how are the beeps treating you? they used to wake up his wife so i had to disable them XD [00:43] I've only heard it beep twice. The boot up and shutdown signals are a nice touch [00:45] think it had ones on WAN up/down too [00:56] i'm off to bed [00:56] g'night folks [00:57] \o [00:57] and that's when i know i'm up late === el is now known as elky === elky is now known as el [10:35] sshing from Ubuntu inside Windows 10 is so very odd [11:07] The only reason I'd use Win10, and it's not enough of a pull :) [11:18] Well I like to play games, which is why I have it installed [11:20] I want to start playing games again... so will probably have to at home [11:24] I play games.. like serial killer hiding in the bushes [11:24] What type of games do you like? [11:25] I paint my toenails red so I can hide in strawberry patches [11:30] I used to play Dod / Call of Duty etc fairly competivly at i Series lans, slowed down playing years ago.. when kids were born I guess, I play on and off over the years, but need to upgrade home PC to handle new games + kids want to try PC gaming too [11:30] Just not cheap, + being single dad need to watch the pennies even more so [11:31] I've been playing Quake Champions in early access, and it's hella fun, despite some of the niggling issues it has [11:31] High spec machine at home ? [11:32] well I'm getting a new graphics card today, because my current one is a huge bottleneck [11:32] but the rest of the spec is about 5 years old [11:32] not that CPUs are being pushed much these days, and it's all offloaded to the gpu [11:32] I'm debating getting off the shelf machine ( cheapish ) and then spend more money on a decent card [11:33] that's not a terrible idea [11:34] yeah, as you said and from what I've read, especially as I'm so out of it on hardware [11:34] With a load of memory and ssd and a GPU, CPU really isn't an issue [11:34] indeed [11:34] I don't want something top of the market, just something I can play some of the newer games [11:34] No idea what card to buy though, so many since I bought my last expensive one :D [11:37] https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01MG15JZS this is the one I just bought. It's not top teir, but it'll do enough to get me the extra frames I need, and still look good [11:38] So I need to find £150 :) Going to spec something up and see what I can afford [11:39] Holy **** - £800 for a GFX card, I really really am out of it :P [11:39] Yeah, the prices for the top end ones are nuts now [11:39] The average seems to be around £300 [11:40] Way out of my price bracket I think, thanks for that link.. defo what I could probably spend [11:40] Yeah, I figured the most I would spend would be £200, but that one seems to be just right, one of the best for the price, apparently [11:41] I also need a telly, carpet my front room/stairs etc... where do my priorities lie :D [11:41] COMPUTERS [11:41] Ryzen CPU's anygood for gaming ? [11:42] Wait for the black friday/january sales for a telly [11:42] I did that last year, only the hisense type TV's last year, no "branded" ones [11:43] I may get a new Credit card with 0 percent and pay it off over 10 months, much more affordable [11:45] Just bought a fridge/freezer off Facebook for £20! Bargain of the year... only a year old [12:28] did it store a dead body? [13:03] hah, nah an upright.. they just wanted it gone quick I guess [13:03] It's only to tide me over for 3-4 months before I do house alterations [19:41] my folks found my Psion Series 3c :O [19:56] aww the hinges have snapped and the casing is now entirely sticky as the rubber is degrading [20:03] there's a place that fixes them better than new iirc [20:04] they can rebuild it, we have the technology [20:04] ::hums theme tune:: [20:04] 0.01 million peso PDA! [20:06] or wait to till the kickstarter reboot launches... [20:08] * zmoylan-samj3 wonders if the psion ii at my old place is still dragged out a few times per year for stock takes at customers... [20:10] sad to see the hinges snapped like that :< [20:13] zmoylan-samj3: the solid state disks didn't have batteries in them as well did they o0 it doesn't work on the mains right now, but i figure the battery needs to be in to help that [20:13] right gotta head home \o [20:14] the 3c ssd had no batteries. just the 2 aa and 1 lithium watch battery in the psion doung the work [20:14] o/ [20:45] mmm wonder if it needs the little round cell (CR1016 iirc) to drive the SSD [20:45] menu listing didn't come up from the disk whilst solely on mains [20:55] aiui it should work 100% of mains adapter and 0 batteries [20:55] hrmm [20:55] maybe i'm just forgetting how to use the thing [20:56] the lithium was just to keep the ram going for 2 weeks if aa ran out [20:56] *nod* [20:56] plus a capacitor for 5 mins if you changed all batteries at same time... great design [20:57] genius! [20:58] whereas wince 1-3, pocket pc 95 and 97 used single battery and lost data all the time [20:58] only in win mobile 6 did they fix that [21:00] i *loved* having to go through the set up wizard every time the batteries ran out and having to install all the apps... [21:01] :) [21:02] the bloody stupid noise every time you selectex something.... *THATS* when i began learning linux... [21:02] i forgot to grab my PsiWin sync cable [21:03] blinking lights i could stand but not the beeping and booping ::nervous twitch:: [21:04] do you have anything to plug the serial cable into these days? [21:05] i *think* i might have a core 2 duo era box with a serial port, but possibly not [21:31] you can remove the sticky rubber coating with isopropanol [21:31] hinges are a bit harder to fix tho [21:31] sounds good, that's my exact plan! though i can't get to it until the home insurance repairs have been complete === el is now known as elky === elky is now known as el [22:54] why does systemd include a dns resolver?!
