| ducasse | hi lotuspsychje | 05:47 |
| ducasse | rise and shine! :) | 05:47 |
| xangua | The mega moon? | 05:55 |
| ducasse | there's an attention-seeking cat on my desk, very hard to type... | 05:57 |
| xangua | I don't believe this is not the cat typing | 05:58 |
| ducasse | bought her off with some treats, usually works :) | 05:58 |
| ducasse | last night she paid me back for food and shelter - killed a mouse! :) | 06:00 |
| ducasse | dunno how it got it... | 06:00 |
| xangua | Poor mouse :-( | 06:00 |
| ducasse | of course, but it should have known better than to go into a house with a cat | 06:01 |
| xangua | They were told there were no cats in America https://youtu.be/2bC07e7PReM | 06:01 |
| ducasse | hehe :) they must have been disappointed when they got there :) | 06:05 |
| ducasse | i desperately want a savannah cat, but the one will have to do | 06:05 |
| ducasse | i love them all, can't see a kitten without wanting to take it home :) | 06:08 |
| xangua | All my cats/dogs have been from the street or the rejected ones | 06:09 |
| ducasse | mine was rescued from a bad home where she was mistreated. the first few weeks here she was scared of everything, now she _loves_ getting visitors :) | 06:10 |
| ducasse | when the doorbell rings she runs over to greet them :) | 06:11 |
| ducasse | i'm still the only one who is allowed to hold her in certain ways or pet her belly, but she's improved a lot | 06:13 |
| lordievader | Good morning | 07:40 |
| ducasse | hi lordievader - sit down and have a cup! | 07:41 |
| lordievader | Hey ducasse | 07:42 |
| lordievader | Good idea... but I have to get up to get a cup... | 07:42 |
| ducasse | playing with rsync - quite a man page... | 07:44 |
| ducasse | 'man rsync | wc -l' => 3818 | 07:48 |
| lordievader | Rsync is well explained 😉 | 07:57 |
| lordievader | Luckily, since there are a million options. | 07:57 |
| ducasse | yep. i'm currently replacing my backup system, and decided on rsync. might need to combine it with something else to get all i want, but it's just sooo handy... | 08:17 |
| ducasse | i considered switching back to backintime, but wanted something that doesn't require a gui | 08:19 |
| lordievader | ducasse: You could look to dirvish, basically an rsync wrapper. | 09:12 |
| lordievader | Quite a lovely system. Makes incremental backups with hardlinks. So every backup looks like a full backup. | 09:12 |
| ducasse | nice, thanks for the tip. | 09:24 |
| ducasse | that's what i liked about backinfime, it did the same thing. very easy to find what you're looking for if you want a certain generation of a file... | 09:25 |
| ducasse | now i've been using attic for a while, but it's been abandoned and turned into borg-backup, which is not compatible. you couldn't directly browse the files, but it had a *lot* of great features other than that | 09:31 |
| BluesKaj | Hi all | 12:09 |
| lordievader | Hey BluesKaj | 12:09 |
| BluesKaj | Hi lordievader | 12:10 |
| lordievader | How are you doing? | 12:10 |
| BluesKaj | good thanks lordievader, and you ? | 12:10 |
| lordievader | Doing good here 😄 | 12:11 |
| * BluesKaj nods | 12:22 | |
| ducasse | hi guys | 12:35 |
| ducasse | all good, BluesKaj? | 12:36 |
| BluesKaj | Hi ducasse, yes, fine here, and you? | 12:36 |
| ducasse | reading up on rEFInd atm, considering using it instead of systemd-boot | 12:38 |
| BluesKaj | heh, I finally manager to rest my laptop back to UEFI/GPT after wiping it and using bios flashback/leqacy mode, which caused me some intermittent boot problems. | 12:44 |
| BluesKaj | managed | 12:44 |
| BluesKaj | and a few rescue modes which I got tired of trying to fix | 12:45 |
| ducasse | my motherboard thankfully has a really good, standards-compliant uefi implementation, so i've never had any issues wuth it | 12:47 |
| ducasse | probably the main reason i like uefi more than legacy mode | 12:47 |
| BluesKaj | yeah now that I use EFI, no more boot errors | 12:48 |
| BluesKaj | this old desktop pc is a bios machine, so no probs | 12:50 |
| ducasse | yay, upgraded bios on my desktop without problems! | 13:41 |
| ducasse | would have been a bit of a crisis if i bricked it :) | 13:41 |
| ducasse | only bad thing was that it reset all the bios settings, so i had to go through every single one of them again, trying to remember how they were set | 13:44 |
| ducasse | probably missed on a few i have no real idea what they are about :) | 13:45 |
| daftykins | hehe, shouldn't be much you need to touch | 13:48 |
| daftykins | though when i forgot to disable CSM on mine the other day i no longer had visible POST logos on HDMI out until i sorted it | 13:49 |
| daftykins | was it a windows only utility? | 13:49 |
| daftykins | or smart enough to read a file from HDDs / flash drives | 13:49 |
| ducasse | daftykins: kinda smart, actually - you copy the update to the esp, and it reads it from there. you could also put it on a usb stick and either flash it through the same menu in the bios, or plug it into a designated port at the back and hold a small button while booting. | 14:14 |
| daftykins | o0 | 14:15 |
| ducasse | but there are a _ton_ of settings in this bios, many of whom are greek to me :) | 14:15 |
| daftykins | i'm still adjusting to having modern kit with mouse driven fancy arty EFIs | 14:16 |
| ducasse | i don't use the mouse, it just feels wrong | 14:18 |
| daftykins | :) yeah doesn't help any | 14:19 |
| daftykins | actually wheel scrolling can be handy for the lengthy pages | 14:19 |
| ducasse | that's why we have pgup/pgdwn ;) | 14:20 |
| daftykins | pff | 14:21 |
| ducasse | i don3818't get the graphics eye candy, though. mine looks a lot like the interfaces they have at shows like csi :) | 14:23 |
| ducasse | *don't | 14:23 |
| daftykins | "they spent so long thinking 'could we?' that they didn't stop to think... 'should we?' " | 14:24 |
| ducasse | hehe - good point :) | 14:26 |
