[00:33] <zmoylan-pi> country and christmassy.... [09:11] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls. [09:19] <zmoylan-pi> morning mammals [09:20] <brobostigon> morning [09:27] <SuperMatt> BLEEP BLOOP ENGAGE MAMMAL GREETING: Hello, world!\n [10:41] <TwistedLucidity> I think we just found Maybot's alter ego [10:46] <SuperMatt> BLEEP BLOOP ENGAGE BREXIT NEGOTIATIONS: CRITICAL WARNING: Interal logical inconsistencies. KERNEL PANIC [11:33] <TwistedLucidity> Maybe "sudo dkms remove -m DUP" would help? [11:33] <SuperMatt> Still wouldn't help [11:36] <TwistedLucidity> Holy Moly [11:36] <TwistedLucidity> BASH can autocomplete ant? 8-o [11:42] <SuperMatt> what's ant? [11:45] <TwistedLucidity> Apache Ant. A way for scripting builds. [11:45] <SuperMatt> I see [11:46] <diddledan> is it difficult to type ant? [11:46] <diddledan> :-p [11:47] * Laney remembers the red alert ant missions [12:05] <TwistedLucidity> Much lol. It seems to be autocompleting based on the targets in the build.xml. Which surprised me. [12:07] <Laney> look at /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/ [12:07] <Laney> neat stuff [12:32] <TwistedLucidity> From the CLI, can I test if a mouse is connected? [12:32] <TwistedLucidity> (Integration in VBox keeps dying, trying to figure out why) [12:37] <TwistedLucidity> Strange...using xinput I can see that it know where the mouse is; it just can't see the clicks. [18:04] <diddledan> you know when tv or movies have a scene where there's someone stealthily approaching via commando-moves? how does the camera know where they are to film them when they're supposed to be stealthing [18:04] <diddledan> ?? === alan_g is now known as alan_g|EOD [18:46] <zmoylan-pi> they have ninja cameramen who follow people who think they are been stealthy... duh!! :-) [21:37] <daftykins> oof that was a tough one - https://imgur.com/a/nUI5l [21:38] <daftykins> just added a third, showing the ripped out plastic mount on the hinges [21:40] <zmoylan-pi> don't you love designs that assume you've done this a 1000 times previously [21:41] <daftykins> ooh yes [21:42] <zmoylan-pi> i used to have a bunch of ast low profile pcs that cut the bejezus out of your hands adding or removing parts internally. even cables... so many sharp edges [21:43] <daftykins> oof [21:43] <daftykins> i remember AST, my dad got one of their laptops for his QS'ing department in the government way back when [21:44] <zmoylan-pi> in the 80s they were quite good, then by the 90s the beancounters took over and they got cheaper and cheaper build wise... [21:44] <daftykins> this thing needs an SSD and RAM upgrade now before it can be popped back into the hands of whence it came
