[07:33] <ducasse> hi, people
[07:37] <EriC^^> hey duc
[07:37] <EriC^^> ducasse:
[07:37] <EriC^^> how are you feeling?
[07:37] <ducasse> morning, EriC^^
[07:39] <ducasse> well, i'm ok i guess - still in hospital. had forgotten a few things at home, so had no access to _anything_..
[07:39] <ducasse> how are you?
[07:42] <EriC^^> i'm ok
[07:43] <ducasse> still quiet in #u :-/
[07:43] <EriC^^> yeah as always
[07:43] <EriC^^> we're playing who killed the bootloader now
[07:43] <EriC^^> xD
[07:44] <ducasse> it was lilo in the kitchen with the degausser!
[07:46] <EriC^^> this v7 guy seems to up to no good, he was asking first about messing with some tty stuff 'title victim' and aircrack stuff, he 's like no this is just a generic question about tty it's just a string i copied
[07:46] <EriC^^> next day he's asking about how to grep for mac addresses *rolls eyes*
[07:48] <ducasse> iirc this isn't the first time
[07:48] <EriC^^> that he's up to no good?
[07:48] <EriC^^> i thought he was a reg, see his nick alot
[07:48] <EriC^^> it sounds like he's making a war wifi or whatever its called
[07:49] <EriC^^> war walker
[07:50] <ducasse> i've just got a vague recollection of him doing weird things spoofing addresses etc, but my memory might not be the best at the moment. ignore me :)
[07:53] <EriC^^> damn this windows is a mean mofo
[07:54] <EriC^^> it randomly deleted this guys rootfs partition
[07:55] <ducasse> some w10 update or what? isn't it about that time again?
[07:55] <EriC^^> yeah i think he said w10
[07:55] <EriC^^> what business does it have with the partitions
[07:55] <EriC^^> lol wth
[07:56] <ducasse> no idea, i can't see any good reason to touch them at all
[07:58] <EriC^^> if (fs ==ext*) { echo bug found > /log; delete partition; print "a bug was found, you can thank us later ;) }
[07:58] <EriC^^> :P
[08:04] <ducasse> something like that, yes :)
[08:18] <lotuspsychje> have a nice1 guys work :p
[08:25] <EriC^^> !info testdisk
[08:26] <ubot5`> testdisk (source: testdisk): Partition scanner and disk recovery tool, and PhotoRec file recovery tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 7.0-3build1 (artful), package size 390 kB, installed size 1546 kB
[08:33] <EriC^^> somewhere a windows dev is laughing that the code is pretty dead on
[08:33] <ducasse> if it actually deleted the data and left the swap that _is_ kind of funny ;)
[08:34] <EriC^^> nah it's still there, it just deleted the partitions from the table
[08:35] <EriC^^> but i mean why the ext ones, and left the swap
[08:45] <EriC^^> ducasse: when do you get out of the hospital and back home?
[08:46] <ducasse> EriC^^: good question.
[08:47] <ducasse> right now my hand looks like this - https://photos.app.goo.gl/X7umN7FWaKhWwvOw1 - i'm hooked up to a fair amount of machinery
[08:48] <EriC^^> damn
[08:49] <EriC^^> hope you get better soon
[08:49] <ducasse> the docs are doing their rounds now, so i'm waiting for my turn now. hope for some news...
[08:49] <ducasse> thanks :)
[08:50] <ducasse> i hope to be home before the weekend, but they're not saying anything so far.
[12:18] <BluesKaj> Howdy folks
[13:32] <ducasse> hi BluesKaj - how goes?
[13:35] <BluesKaj> Hey ducasse, fine here, but the weather is cold, -25C at sunrise and only -14C this aft. How are you doing?
[13:37] <ducasse> BluesKaj: doing better, but still in hospital. having a major argument over when i'm ready to go home atm :-/
[13:39] <BluesKaj> in hospital ...sorry to hear that ..using your mobile ?
[13:42] <BluesKaj> so you feel well enough to go home, but they want to keep you for further observation/tests ?
[13:46] <ducasse> i'm using both my mobile and vpn over hospital wifi, for different things. i feel well enough, plus i just want to recover at home rather than here. they've done so many tests there isn't much left to investigate :)
[13:46] <ducasse> on the plus side, most of me is pretty healthy - a lot better than i feared ;)
[13:53] <EriC^^> ;)
[13:54] <BluesKaj> ducasse, good to hear :-)
[13:58] <BluesKaj> my stay in the hospital here was very boring, no wifi allowed due to idiots running windows contaminating their network, i protested and showed the nurses and the IT guy my Linux install who agreed it was safe , but wouldn't reveal their pw. Finally on my last day he told me what it was and I logged on for about 30mins before going home
[14:02] <ducasse> well, it's slow as molasses, dunno if that is because of number of users or plain traffic control - i tried upgrading to latest packages earlier, but just cancelled while it was downloading chromium...
[14:02] <BluesKaj> I read 2 books tho :-)
[14:04] <ducasse> the only thing they've found that isn't well, are my lungs. got to stop smoking, and that's the last thing i want to do, but...
[14:06] <BluesKaj> ducasse, oh you have to stop smoking, it's the source of many ailments.  I quit 16yrs ago and I don't regert it.
[14:06] <BluesKaj> don't regret it even
[14:08] <ducasse> i *do* know that, i'm fully aware of it, it's just... i dunno, i'll certainly miss it.
[14:12] <BluesKaj> half the band tha I jam with smokes, it was difficult ar first , the craving is there , but usually lasts about 30 secs and goes away
[14:14] <ducasse> i guess i'd better invest in some nicotine patches...
[14:16] <BluesKaj> cold turkey is best ...patches merely continue the addiction to nicotine
[14:18] <ducasse> we'll see. it's getting so late in the day now that i'll probably need to stay until tomorrow anyway - one more day to think...
[14:19] <ducasse> i was _really_ happy to hear my heart and kidneys were all good, though - no signs of problems. i was sort of concerned about them...
[14:19] <BluesKaj> right
[14:22] <ducasse> i hate hospitals, though - rather be ill and get better at home.
