[10:47] <immu> ducasse, lordievader hi
[10:50] <ducasse> \o immu
[11:07] <immu> whats up
[11:09] <lordievader> Hey immu
[11:10] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[11:10] <immu> hey BluesKaj
[11:10] <immu> whts up
[11:11] <BluesKaj> hi immu, not much , morning coffee here. How about you?
[11:11] <ducasse> hi BluesKaj
[11:11] <BluesKaj> hey ducasse
[11:12] <immu> lunch, with family and watching movie Raies
[11:19] <immu> i got my self Mibox
[11:23] <BluesKaj> immu, mibox?
[11:24] <immu> wait
[11:25] <immu> http://www.mi.com/en/mibox/ runs on Andriod TV
[11:31] <BluesKaj> looks impressive, suppose all those streams require subscriptions
[11:33] <BluesKaj> looks like kodi on steroids :-)
[11:35] <immu> Kodi is also available in the google play store , it can be rigged for more open streams ;)
[11:39] <BluesKaj> this pc is connected to my tv via hdmi already so it works ok with kodi, but only ok, but not not very well, a lot of streams they have listed as default don't connect ...i would guess less then 50% actually work
[11:39] <BluesKaj> less than
[11:46] <BluesKaj> and that includes geographic vpn server locations all over the US, Europe and Asia ... kodi doesn't live up to the hype it's given on google IMO
[11:46] <immu> you have a VPN server>
[11:47] <BluesKaj> I use a vpn client that connexts to vpn servcers, yes
[11:48] <BluesKaj> openvpn protocol, on PIA VPN

[12:46] <pauljw> hi everyone
[13:09] <BluesKaj> hi pauljw
[13:09] <pauljw> hi BluesKaj :)
[13:10] <BluesKaj> pauljw, , how's your internet connection these days , stable?
[13:11] <pauljw> seems to be doing okay now.  don't know what it's problem was.
[13:11] <BluesKaj> ok
[13:13] <pauljw> it seems that the last time i rebooted the modem, it was assigned an ip addr that is banned here on irc.  if i'm not using a vpn i can't login.  hoping another reboot will pick a winner... :)
[13:15] <BluesKaj> whoa, that's odd
[13:16] <pauljw> yeah, it happened to me once before when i first started using hughesnet.
[13:18] <pauljw> in fact, since i'm the only one using the net at the moment, i'll reboot now and see what i get.  biab...
[13:25] <pauljw> that did it... :)
[13:34] <JimBunbtu> YAY
[14:19] <BluesKaj> heh now my ISP is acting up ...internet dropped for no apparent reason
[15:25] <ducasse> hi pauljw - all well?
[15:46] <pauljw> hey ducasse, yep, all is well here. thx.  you?
[15:49] <ducasse> pauljw: all well, thanks. getting ready for a daytrip to sweden tomorrow.
[15:49] <pauljw> that's how mine was acting the other day, BluesKaj.  when i accessed the modem directly it was showing a random transmit error.  seems to have corrected itself.  most likely weather.
[15:49] <pauljw> oh fun, ducasse :)
[15:50] <ducasse> just to do some shopping, certain things are cheaper across the border :)
[15:52] <pauljw> :)
[15:55] <BluesKaj> pauljw, we use voip phone service and yesterday several phone calls just dropped out
[15:56] <pauljw> hmmm, hope it straightens out for you.
[15:57] <pauljw> that's why i still keep a landline here.
[16:04] <BluesKaj> just checked he phone line again and it seems very quiet compared to alll noises on it yesterday so think the techs solved a problem there.
[16:05] <pauljw> :D
[17:29] <ducasse> gopal just won't stop, will he?
[17:30] <pauljw> seems not
[17:36] <pauljw> bbl guys...
[18:07] <hggdh> well, at least now he seems to be actually trying to find out if older kernels would work
[18:09] <hggdh> but I would first try checking the hardware: take out the battery, measure it with a voltmeter, wait a few hours, measure it again, verify there is no significant drop in volts, rinse & repeat
[18:10] <hggdh> then look at BIOS set up, for WOL, or other setting that would have power applied even if the machine is powered off
[18:10] <hggdh> then test older kernels
[18:10] <hggdh> he seems to be in the "test other kernels" phase
[18:15] <ducasse> he's been there before, iirc
[18:15] <hggdh> all I remember is him stating it did not happen with Windows
[18:15] <ducasse> at this point i no longer care, thinking about /ignore'ing him
