=== kostkon_ is now known as kostkon [05:13] morning guys [05:47] hi lotuspsychje [05:47] rise and shine! :) [05:55] The mega moon? [05:57] there's an attention-seeking cat on my desk, very hard to type... [05:58] I don't believe this is not the cat typing [05:58] bought her off with some treats, usually works :) [06:00] last night she paid me back for food and shelter - killed a mouse! :) [06:00] dunno how it got it... [06:00] Poor mouse :-( [06:01] of course, but it should have known better than to go into a house with a cat [06:01] They were told there were no cats in America https://youtu.be/2bC07e7PReM [06:05] hehe :) they must have been disappointed when they got there :) [06:05] i desperately want a savannah cat, but the one will have to do [06:08] i love them all, can't see a kitten without wanting to take it home :) [06:09] All my cats/dogs have been from the street or the rejected ones [06:10] 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 :) [06:11] when the doorbell rings she runs over to greet them :) [06:13] 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 [07:40] Good morning [07:41] hi lordievader - sit down and have a cup! [07:42] Hey ducasse [07:42] Good idea... but I have to get up to get a cup... [07:44] playing with rsync - quite a man page... [07:48] 'man rsync | wc -l' => 3818 [07:57] Rsync is well explained 😉 [07:57] Luckily, since there are a million options. [08:17] 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... [08:19] i considered switching back to backintime, but wanted something that doesn't require a gui [09:12] ducasse: You could look to dirvish, basically an rsync wrapper. [09:12] Quite a lovely system. Makes incremental backups with hardlinks. So every backup looks like a full backup. [09:24] nice, thanks for the tip. [09:25] 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... [09:31] 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 [12:09] Hi all [12:09] Hey BluesKaj [12:10] Hi lordievader [12:10] How are you doing? [12:10] good thanks lordievader, and you ? [12:11] Doing good here 😄 [12:22] * BluesKaj nods [12:35] hi guys [12:36] all good, BluesKaj? [12:36] Hi ducasse, yes, fine here, and you? [12:38] reading up on rEFInd atm, considering using it instead of systemd-boot [12:44] 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] managed [12:45] and a few rescue modes which I got tired of trying to fix [12:47] my motherboard thankfully has a really good, standards-compliant uefi implementation, so i've never had any issues wuth it [12:47] probably the main reason i like uefi more than legacy mode [12:48] yeah now that I use EFI, no more boot errors [12:50] this old desktop pc is a bios machine, so no probs [13:41] yay, upgraded bios on my desktop without problems! [13:41] would have been a bit of a crisis if i bricked it :) [13:44] 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 [13:45] probably missed on a few i have no real idea what they are about :) [13:48] hehe, shouldn't be much you need to touch [13:49] 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] was it a windows only utility? [13:49] or smart enough to read a file from HDDs / flash drives [14:14] 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. [14:15] o0 [14:15] but there are a _ton_ of settings in this bios, many of whom are greek to me :) [14:16] i'm still adjusting to having modern kit with mouse driven fancy arty EFIs [14:18] i don't use the mouse, it just feels wrong [14:19] :) yeah doesn't help any [14:19] actually wheel scrolling can be handy for the lengthy pages [14:20] that's why we have pgup/pgdwn ;) [14:21] pff [14:23] i don3818't get the graphics eye candy, though. mine looks a lot like the interfaces they have at shows like csi :) [14:23] *don't [14:24] "they spent so long thinking 'could we?' that they didn't stop to think... 'should we?' " [14:26] hehe - good point :) [17:29] good evening to all [17:32] http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/12/gnome-boxes-install-linux-distros-directly [17:38] hiya lotuspsychje [17:38] hey ducasse have a nice day?
