[00:12] <diddledan> zmoylan-pi: are you mostly better now or have they let you out to convalesce at home because they want the bed?
[00:12] <zmoylan-pi> they did want the bed. but as all they were giving me at the home was antibiotics 3 times a day and a dressing twice a week it was felt that could be done at home
[00:13] <diddledan> aah ok
[00:14] <zmoylan-pi> woke up for first time in 7 weeks without someone poking me awake, snoring beside me, or people making lots of noise
[00:17] <zmoylan-pi> so a british water company is using divining rods to find leaks.... can you pay your bills with magic beans?
[00:32] <diddledan> wait, what?
[00:32] <diddledan> that's gotta be a hoax?
[00:32] <zmoylan-pi> https://arstechnica.com/?p=1208843
[00:33] <zmoylan-pi> was quite the thing in the 70s iirc
[01:07] <diddledan> uber paid protection racket: https://www.grahamcluley.com/uber-hackers-paid-data-breach/
[01:10] <diddledan> oh don't leave your gun!
[01:10] <diddledan> when you're running from evil monsters, you want to keep your gun in hand
[01:16] <zmoylan-pi> and put down my chainsaw?!
[01:25] <diddledan> that damned chainsaw scared the moo out of me whenever I heard my friend had found the damned thing
[01:26] <diddledan> I got poked with that thing a lot!
[01:29] <zmoylan-pi> my bosses pc had soundcard... i could track his position by hearing my chainsaw approach... :-)
[01:29] <diddledan> yeah, when I heard the chainsaw, that was my prompt to RUUUUUUNNNNNNN
[01:29] <diddledan> the shift key got used extensively
[01:30] <zmoylan-pi> i knew the maps backwards and used to run everywhere backwards.  it was like having a tail gunner... drove people nuts... :-)
[01:30] <diddledan> lol
[01:37] <ali1234> but did you ever build up speed for 12 hours and then enter a parallel universe?
[01:38] <diddledan> nope
[01:39] <diddledan> I've not warped around the sun either
[09:48] <diplo> Morning all, thoughts on this.. have a HP laptop, had issues but still booted 6-8 months ago, been sat with no power on for that time, now won't do anything, won't power on etc
[09:49] <diplo> Any thoughts to a cause, can this be caused by a dead cmos battery maybe ?
[10:01] <MooDoo> howdy al
[12:11] <brobostigon> afternoon boys and girls.
[12:31] <knightwork> hey peepz
[12:35] <SuperMatt> suuuuppppp
[12:35] <knightwork> hey SuperMatt
[12:35] <knightwork> breaking in a remote machine I just installed yesterday
[12:36] <knightwork> old 17" lenovo laptop with a busted chassis
[12:36] <knightwork> still , the i5 16 gigs and some mate make it work just fine
[12:36] <knightwork> shoved it in our basement, plugged it in and put teamviewer on it
[12:36] <knightwork> Firewall guys none the wiser as to what i'm doing
[12:39] <knightwork> now i need to find a way to use the command line via an https interface
[12:39] <knightwork> then i can irc from my browser
[12:40] <SuperMatt> 1) don't install servers in your company without people knowing it, and 2) look in to cockpit
[12:41] <diplo> Why not ssh tunnel somewhere externally, my friend connect out on either 443 or 3306 ( no idea why the latter is open, they don't run mysql )
[12:41] <SuperMatt> Or run ssh on port 443
[12:41] <knightwork> i dont have it installed in the company , i have it installed at home
[12:42] <knightwork> hmm.. thats not a bad idea , just run plain ssh on 443 and use portable putty to connect
[12:42] <knightwork> keep it simple that way
[12:44] <diplo> You can have multiple entries for Port in sshd_config
[12:45] <SuperMatt> I didn't know that, and it's fun to know
[12:46] <diplo> Yeah I didn't know it :) did it for this friend for his work :)
[13:42] <MooDoo>  /quit
[13:52] <knightwork> heyhey
[13:53] <knightwork> mapped my ssh port to
[13:53] <knightwork> 443
[13:53] <knightwork> works like a charm :)
[13:53] <diplo> \o/
[13:53]  * knightwork has SSH acces at work :) Whieeeee
[13:54] <knightwork> using putty right now but i'm gonna see if i can install mobaxterm
[13:54] <knightwork> also a great terminal client
[13:58] <diplo> I use puttyND on my work PC
[14:24] <knightwork> What is puttynd ?
[14:25] <knightwork> Looks like the non 80's version of putty
[14:29] <knightwork> what i like about mobaxterm is that you have all these nice solarised themes
[14:58] <diplo> yeah, tabbed putty basically
[14:59] <diplo> ah I tried mobaxxterm before, didn't quite get on with it, not sure why
[14:59] <diplo> Trying to be too much I guess ?
[21:17]  * zmoylan-pi breaks open a pack of tunnock tea cakes as silently as possible...
[21:20]  * brobostigon 's vulcan ears perk up to the sound of zmoylan-pi 
[21:20] <zmoylan-pi> that would be the logical thing to do when you hear pack of tea cakes been opened...
[21:21] <brobostigon> :D
[21:21] <diddledan> did someone say tea cakes??
[21:22] <zmoylan-pi> tunnock tea cakes, not knock offs...
[21:22]  * brobostigon points
[21:22] <diddledan> :-o
[21:22] <diddledan> omg
[21:22]  * diddledan engages puppy-dog eyes
[21:23]  * diddledan fires-up the pout
[21:23]  * zmoylan-pi pushes pack towards diddledan 
[21:23]  * diddledan mews
[21:23] <diddledan> \o/
[21:23] <diddledan> danke
[21:23] <zmoylan-pi> sometimes you need something better than hobnobs...
[21:23] <diddledan> nom nom nom
[21:24] <daftykins> hey folks \o
[21:24] <zmoylan-pi> o/
[21:24] <brobostigon> what a thing of heaven, https://www.thediceshoponline.com/dice/2080/Koplow-Red-Double-D20-Dice
[21:24] <brobostigon> evening daftykins
[21:24] <daftykins> i just spent £60 on amazon for 100m of satellite coax, 10 x F-type connectors and a 4 way aerial amplifier
[21:25] <diddledan> 100 miles?!
[21:25] <daftykins> i'll fit satellite dish and roof antenna cabling to my place :)
[21:25] <zmoylan-pi> i had the d6 version but with only 1 internal dice.  they should all be different colours so that you could designate colours for rolls
[21:25] <daftykins> yes!
[21:26] <zmoylan-pi> that plus direct into the satellite... bring your big ladder...
[21:26] <zmoylan-pi> *plugs
[21:26] <brobostigon> zmoylan-pi: :)
[21:29] <daftykins> nah mines on the kitchen flat roof - and i still have the scaffolding right now :)
[21:29] <daftykins> even the cat climbs it
[21:31] <daftykins> builders finished my bedroom insulation today \o/ they'll plaster the last of it now for the remainder of the week
[22:02] <diddledan> don't forget to check for hidden cameras
[22:03] <diddledan> you know what builders are like :-o
[22:03] <diddledan> s/builders/the man/
[22:04] <diddledan> home improvement is just an excuse to surreptitiously add listening equiment and cameras
[22:04] <diddledan> </tin foil>
