[00:40] <m0nkey_> daftykins: APU2 board in and working
[00:41] <daftykins> :D
[00:41] <m0nkey_> It's performing way better than my shitty Celeron :)
[00:41] <daftykins> i still haven't done anything about updating the Spain one to pfsense 2.4
[00:42] <m0nkey_> I install 2.4.1 on it and restored my config onto it. So no config was lost :)
[00:42] <m0nkey_> I'd like to get the LEDs at the front working, but it's not super important.
[00:43] <daftykins> ah yeah i saw only the left hand one lights up green for power on with my clients one
[00:43] <daftykins> how are the beeps treating you? they used to wake up his wife so i had to disable them XD
[00:43] <m0nkey_> I've only heard it beep twice. The boot up and shutdown signals are a nice touch
[00:45] <daftykins> think it had ones on WAN up/down too
[00:56] <m0nkey_> i'm off to bed
[00:56] <m0nkey_> g'night folks
[00:57] <daftykins> \o
[00:57] <daftykins> and that's when i know i'm up late
[10:35] <SuperMatt> sshing from Ubuntu inside Windows 10 is so very odd
[11:07] <diplo> The only reason I'd use Win10, and it's not enough of a pull :)
[11:18] <SuperMatt> Well I like to play games, which is why I have it installed
[11:20] <diplo> I want to start playing games again... so will probably have to at home
[11:24] <diddledan> I play games.. like serial killer hiding in the bushes
[11:24] <SuperMatt> What type of games do you like?
[11:25] <diddledan> I paint my toenails red so I can hide in strawberry patches
[11:30] <diplo> 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] <diplo> Just not cheap, + being single dad need to watch the pennies even more so
[11:31] <SuperMatt> I've been playing Quake Champions in early access, and it's hella fun, despite some of the niggling issues it has
[11:31] <diplo> High spec machine at home ?
[11:32] <SuperMatt> well I'm getting a new graphics card today, because my current one is a huge bottleneck
[11:32] <SuperMatt> but the rest of the spec is about 5 years old
[11:32] <SuperMatt> not that CPUs are being pushed much these days, and it's all offloaded to the gpu
[11:32] <diplo> I'm debating getting off the shelf machine ( cheapish ) and then spend more money on a decent card
[11:33] <SuperMatt> that's not a terrible idea
[11:34] <diplo> yeah, as you said and from what I've read, especially as I'm so out of it on hardware
[11:34] <diplo> With a load of memory and ssd and a GPU, CPU really isn't an issue
[11:34] <SuperMatt> indeed
[11:34] <diplo> I don't want something top of the market, just something I can play some of the newer games
[11:34] <diplo> No idea what card to buy though, so many since I bought my last expensive one :D
[11:37] <SuperMatt> 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] <diplo> So I need to find £150 :) Going to spec something up and see what I can afford
[11:39] <diplo> Holy **** - £800 for a GFX card, I really really am out of it :P
[11:39] <SuperMatt> Yeah, the prices for the top end ones are nuts now
[11:39] <SuperMatt> The average seems to be around £300
[11:40] <diplo> Way out of my price bracket I think, thanks for that link.. defo what I could probably spend
[11:40] <SuperMatt> 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] <diplo> I also need a telly, carpet my front room/stairs etc... where do my priorities lie :D
[11:41] <SuperMatt> COMPUTERS
[11:41] <diplo> Ryzen CPU's anygood for gaming ?
[11:42] <SuperMatt> Wait for the black friday/january sales for a telly
[11:42] <diplo> I did that last year, only the hisense type TV's last year, no "branded" ones
[11:43] <diplo> I may get a new Credit card with 0 percent and pay it off over 10 months, much more affordable
[11:45] <diplo> Just bought a fridge/freezer off Facebook for £20! Bargain of the year... only a year old
[12:28] <foobarry> did it store a dead body?
[13:03] <diplo> hah, nah an upright.. they just wanted it gone quick I guess
[13:03] <diplo> It's only to tide me over for 3-4 months before I do house alterations
[19:41] <daftykins> my folks found my Psion Series 3c :O
[19:56] <daftykins> aww the hinges have snapped and the casing is now entirely sticky as the rubber is degrading
[20:03] <zmoylan-samj3> there's a place that fixes them better than new iirc
[20:04] <zmoylan-samj3> they can rebuild it, we have the technology
[20:04] <zmoylan-samj3> ::hums theme tune::
[20:04] <daftykins> 0.01 million peso PDA!
[20:06] <zmoylan-samj3> 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] <daftykins> sad to see the hinges snapped like that :<
[20:13] <daftykins> 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] <daftykins> right gotta head home \o
[20:14] <zmoylan-samj3> the 3c ssd had no batteries. just the 2 aa and 1 lithium watch battery in the psion doung the work
[20:14] <zmoylan-samj3> o/
[20:45] <daftykins> mmm wonder if it needs the little round cell (CR1016 iirc) to drive the SSD
[20:45] <daftykins> menu listing didn't come up from the disk whilst solely on mains
[20:55] <zmoylan-samj3> aiui it should work 100% of mains adapter and 0 batteries
[20:55] <daftykins> hrmm
[20:55] <daftykins> maybe i'm just forgetting how to use the thing
[20:56] <zmoylan-samj3> the lithium was just to keep the ram going for 2 weeks if aa ran out
[20:56] <daftykins> *nod*
[20:56] <zmoylan-samj3> plus a capacitor for 5 mins if you changed all batteries at same time... great design
[20:57] <daftykins> genius!
[20:58] <zmoylan-samj3> whereas wince 1-3, pocket pc 95 and 97 used single battery and lost data all the time
[20:58] <zmoylan-samj3> only in win mobile 6 did they fix that
[21:00] <zmoylan-samj3> 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] <daftykins> :)
[21:02] <zmoylan-samj3> the bloody stupid noise every time you selectex something.... *THATS* when i began learning linux...
[21:02] <daftykins> i forgot to grab my PsiWin sync cable
[21:03] <zmoylan-samj3> blinking lights i could stand but not the beeping and booping ::nervous twitch::
[21:04] <zmoylan-samj3> do you have anything to plug the serial cable into these days?
[21:05] <daftykins> i *think* i might have a core 2 duo era box with a serial port, but possibly not
[21:31] <ali1234> you can remove the sticky rubber coating with isopropanol
[21:31] <ali1234> hinges are a bit harder to fix tho
[21:31] <daftykins> sounds good, that's my exact plan! though i can't get to it until the home insurance repairs have been complete
[22:54] <diddledan> why does systemd include a dns resolver?!
[22:54] <diddledan> means we get fixes like: https://usn.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-3466-1/
