brobostigonmorning boys and girls.09:24
Nafallodid anyone upgrade 17.04 to 17.10? and how did it go?09:50
Nafallopopey: ^-- you would have, right? :-)09:50
popeyActually I didn't.09:50
popeyMy laptop is still on 16.04, and on my testing machine I went direct to 17.10 clean install to test it clean09:51
popey(morning btw Nafallo ) :)09:51
Nafallopopey: morning, and LTNS :-)09:51
NafalloI hoped it was still implied that you'd upgrade ;-)09:52
Nafallobut maybe that was just my team :-P09:52
popeyI am very much "stick on LTS" kind guy09:53
SuperMattI'm very much a "omg, the alpha is released and it has a shiny feature I really want to try" kinda guy09:54
popeyhahah09:54
popeywell, that too - which is why i have two laptops :)09:54
popeyand a million VMs09:54
Nafalloand now that I'm back on IRC I'm sure I'll be on development cycles as soon as they're open ;-)09:54
SuperMattsurely you should be using docker containers09:54
popeyhttps://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/Hv4Nk4C7/Ok%2C%20not%20a%20million%2C%20but%20lots.09:54
popeyI do not use docker for anything at all09:55
Nafallopopey: !seen Daviey09:55
popeyI have seen him on another irc network, but not around these parts recently09:55
SuperMattI guess it all depends what you're testing. If it's something graphical then it has to be a vm, but personally I do lots of devopsy stuff, so docker fits me well09:55
popeySure, it has its uses.09:55
popeyI'm more doing full system installs, and need it to be unfettered09:56
Nafallopopey: so he exists, but missed me so much he decided to leave the network? :-O09:56
* Nafallo notice popey learnt not to feed trolls09:59
popeymaybe09:59
Nafalloif I'd be in London, I'd get a beer though surely? :-)09:59
Nafallothat being said. Gothenburg has beer, but way more expensive, and way more percentage :-P10:00

popeyfoobarry: tried posting to linux jobs mailing list?10:40
foobarryi used to years ago, but figured its died out a bit now - how many subscribers on that list?10:40
foobarryand i got some weirdos approaching me via that list10:40
foobarryworth a go i suppose10:41
Seeker`any worse than the weirdos you get on irc?10:56
zmoylan-piahem, you only get the *BEST* weirdos on irc! :-)11:06
foobarryi actually have an interesting , exciting and rewarding job, but nobody wants it :|11:40
foobarryexcept weirdos11:40
SuperMattProblem is, all the good SysAds are becoming DevOps and SREs, so using the term SysAd doesn't get as many eyeballs11:43
SuperMattBut I have upvoted, as per your request11:43
foobarrythis jobs uses devops tools and workflows11:43
SuperMattThen make sure you say devops11:44
foobarrybut more interesting than devops work ;)11:44

daftykinsbig news everyone, the builders have left!20:36
zmoylan-pi...they've taken the roof till your cheque clears? :-P20:37
daftykinshehe20:38
daftykinsaaah it feels so good, all their gear has been cleared out, my bikes are back in the hall where they belong instead of in my way here in the lounge... and i have my office back20:38
daftykinsalthough so far all i've done is mopped the (visible) floor in there... so many windows to paint inside and out still20:39
zmoylan-pipeace, quiet, bliss, till you hear the clock ticking behind a new wall... :-)20:39
zmoylan-piooops.... https://twitter.com/lemiorhan/status/93558102077411738120:40
daftykinsi can outlast its' batteries!20:40
zmoylan-pinew clocks can go years on batteries...20:40
daftykinsoh dear oh dear20:41
daftykinsmmm, insanity might find me first20:41
zmoylan-pi13 years...http://wgntv.com/2017/06/19/alarm-clock-stuck-inside-wall-for-13-years-goes-off-every-day/20:41
diddledanhaha. gotta love a clock going off like clockwork22:03
daftykinsassuming you clock what's happening ;D22:03
zmoylan-pii did find online for my brother a few years back a gizmo that ran off a p9 battery that beeped every random number of hours so once every 2-3 days... to drop in a frenemies gaff to drive them bonkers22:05
daftykinsooh that's evil22:06
zmoylan-pibeen that evil requires careful planning... because you care... not in a good way mind >:-)22:06
zmoylan-pieasy to make a microbit arduino do it now... could run years off right battery combo22:08
zmoylan-pithink father ted ripping the place apart to find the bug in the one about the over 75s football game... :-D22:10
diddledanthat's just silly: https://www.neowin.net/news/hdmi-21-is-finally-here-and-it-has-support-for-10k-resolution22:10
daftykinswell when my new TV arrives i'll immediately throw it out ;)22:10
zmoylan-pibecause you want to be able to count the nasal hairs in every news readers nose?22:10
diddledanthat or you want a 12foot tv22:11
daftykinspah you won't get broadcast in that :)22:11
zmoylan-pi12foot... pffft, metric... 4m tv22:11
diddledanI think 65inches is still silly22:11
daftykinsreally? they look normal if the room is appropriate22:12
zmoylan-pithey'll start showing wimbledon from centre line so that you look left and right with the audience at the areana... :-)22:12
diddledanlol22:12
daftykinsin the box will be the little plane journey cushions to help your neck22:13
zmoylan-pithe sony version will waft scent of vanilla and strawberries if you pay to 'sit' in the posh section22:13
zmoylan-pidid i see recently that ms latest xbox doesn't support 4k games, only sony playstation latest offering?22:19
zmoylan-piso even 4k is not generating huge demand22:21
daftykinsno that's incorrect22:21
zmoylan-piah...22:22
daftykinsthe PS4 Pro is medicore at 4K so mostly makes use of checkerboarding to make up the resolution, the very latest "xbox one x" is meant to achieve 60fps at 4K just fine22:22
daftykinsthough most of the time will be spent watching the download bar for any given games' update to allow the improvements :D22:23
zmoylan-pii suspect a pay per pixel system... :-)22:24
zmoylan-pihaven't had a console since original playstation or nintendo ds lite22:25
daftykinsi think the latest big titles are now hitting 100GB on that latest model22:25
