[00:46] <diddledan> zmoylan-pi: how long can a nokia golden age phone last on this? https://blog.thrifter.com/iclever-20000mah-car-jump-starter-power-delivery
[00:49] <diddledan> a new init system https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/wVLnMZnN/image.png
[04:30] <zmoylan-pi> till hell freezes over, thaws out, freezes over again... :-)
[07:38] <SuperMatt> morning
[07:57] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[08:42] <zmoylan-pi> o/
[08:47] <brobostigon> o/
[10:24] <daftykins> \o
[10:25] <brobostigon> o/
[11:22] <daftykins> so apparently my client is at a lunch for that potato peel society movie that's out / coming out (based on a book) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1289403/
[11:22] <diddledan> daftykins: that film looks intriguing
[11:25] <daftykins> indeed
[11:26] <diddledan> it's nice to see you guys in the spotlight, because I think the islands get largely overlooked in British history
[11:27] <diddledan> especially your history during the War
[11:27] <daftykins> so nice of you to say, it's so true ;_;
[11:35] <daftykins> diddledan: my little haswell build has just kicked off today as the CPU arrived - yesterday i received the motherboard and had bent socket pins to resolve - https://dafty.rocks/nextcloud/index.php/s/5Mft7jJas43PXrf
[11:36] <daftykins> got lucky on it having a BIOS new enough to support the CPU \o/
[11:36] <diddledan> bah @ bendy pins
[11:36] <daftykins> nothing a paper clip and a careful eye couldn't resolve
[11:36] <daftykins> now i'm memtesting to ensure that wonky DIMM slot isn't a problem, though
[18:59] <daftykins> cheap SSD btw folks - https://www.mymemory.co.uk/integral-120gb-p-series-5-sata-iii-2-5-ssd-drive-560mb-s.html
[18:59] <daftykins> website is a bit suspicious, after all they're from Jersey... ;D
[19:01] <diddledan> wat. that's nuts cheap
[19:01] <diddledan> how's memtest going?
[19:02] <daftykins> all clean with every slot populated, so i've got a haswell i5 with 12GB RAM now!
[19:02] <daftykins> a mate just helped me modify the latest BIOS with the newest intel microcode too, as Asus have yet to offer it - so it's now good and current for spectre mitigations
[19:03] <diddledan> how you do that?!
[19:03] <daftykins> it's pretty darn involved, he had read into it because he has a haswell mobo too that got abandoned by asus entirely - and won't ever see the 'fix'
[19:04] <daftykins> he's got some utilities he found on a forum for reading in the BIOS, identifying modules, then inserting the up to date microcode :)
[19:04] <daftykins> to play it safe, i dumped a backup of mine, sent it to him, he applied the 0x24 fix, then i booted DOS and used the AMI BIOS firmware update tool to force the custom image on
[19:04] <daftykins> worked a treat
[19:05] <diddledan> I see AMD have released a load of microcodes back to bulldozer
[19:05] <daftykins> o rly
[19:06] <daftykins> did their fixes for that recent news need to also be a platform level BIOS? i think it did from what i read
[19:06] <diddledan> no these are spectre variant 2 fixes
[19:06] <daftykins> ah reet
[20:42] <daftykins> pretty chuffed with that system so far, nice low TDP haswell i5, 2.5W consumption when idle - 35W peak
[20:48] <daftykins> i might try it out as an HTPC to start :>
[21:01] <diddledan> any myst fans? http://kck.st/2JxVaGr
[21:47] <daftykins> diddledan: there any way to tell what version of drupal a site is using from the outside? see they had a pretty major security thing and wonder if my mate is keeping his up to date like a good lad
[21:48] <diddledan> I think the version number might be in the html?
[21:48] <diddledan> in the <head> section in the <meta name="generator"... tag
[21:48] <diddledan> they maybe removed it in recent times though because it can be used to tell an attacker that you're not up to date
[21:49] <diddledan> which is exactly the same reason you're wanting to check it :-)
[21:49] <daftykins> :D
[21:50] <diddledan> looks like they might just put the major version now: <meta name="generator" content="Drupal 7 (http://drupal.org)" />
[21:50] <daftykins> yep looks to be lacking a 'generator' in the page entirely
[21:52] <daftykins> hrmm a client of mine wants to start a charity thing, seems our registrar offers .org.gg for free, but then you need to sort your own nameservers etc
[21:53] <diddledan> use cloudflare :-)
[21:53] <daftykins> ooh a mate had suggested they do such antics as it happens
[22:00] <daftykins> hrmm kinda looks like a single site might stay in the free tier too?
[22:01] <diddledan> you can have as many free tier sites as you want
[22:02] <daftykins> mind you she's already locked herself into wix for the site itself come to think, dunno if that's workable - don't see why not
