| BluesKaj | Hey folks | 10:42 |
| JimBuntu | yo BluesKaj , I hope you are having a great morning. | 10:43 |
| daftykins | \o | 10:43 |
| BluesKaj | Hey JimBuntu , good so far, with morning coffee. How about you? | 10:44 |
| BluesKaj | Hey daftykins | 10:44 |
| JimBuntu | Good here so far, refilled my tea, ready to rock | 10:45 |
| BluesKaj | gonna give powerline ethernet a try sometime today. if the adapter kit is delivered on time. | 10:46 |
| BluesKaj | just an elcheapo, but according to what i've read they work quite well. | 10:47 |
| JimBuntu | Thay can work well, especially if the circuit is all within the same circuit breaker. I haven't used the tech in quite a while, ince upon a time X10 made great stuff using it. | 10:50 |
| * JimBuntu realizes it's probably been 20 years.... | 10:51 | |
| BluesKaj | JimBuntu, i've read that they can work thru sub or pony panels too...we're gonna try it in my band mates garage/jam space. if it doesn't work there I'll just set it up here for my old bedroom pc | 10:54 |
| JimBuntu | I am sure they have made vast improvements since I last used it. That, mixed with a wireless mesh could be amazing. | 10:55 |
| Allie` | BluesKaj: which kit are you using? i find the expensive TP-link one to be actually pretty competitive | 10:55 |
| Allie` | shame it doesn't support VLANs yet :P | 10:56 |
| BluesKaj | it's the cheapest tp-link available | 10:56 |
| Allie` | yeah, they're a good start | 10:57 |
| JimBuntu | I can't wait until aprtment complex owners start using this instead of WiFi... or hotels. | 10:58 |
| BluesKaj | https://www.tp-link.com/us/products/details/cat-5034_TL-PA4010-KIT.html | 11:01 |
| BluesKaj | Hospitals can't due to the clean power restrictions they have on their circuits | 11:04 |
| daftykins | wireless mesh is a fad imo, why hop wirelessly when you can just lay a cable/use powerline and put access points on the end :) | 11:04 |
| JimBuntu | daftykins, my stuff is mainly wired, less a laptop and tablets. | 11:09 |
| BluesKaj | same | 11:26 |
| daftykins | oh yeah i do too, but i'm really commenting on the industry there - as these mesh setups seem to be gaining popularity with some | 11:29 |
| daftykins | granted the situation becomes very different when you don't have the option to lay cable, such as if you're renting perhaps - but eh | 11:30 |
| * daftykins sips a flat white | 11:30 | |
| JimBuntu | daftykins, help a western bloke out, what's a "flat white" ? Is that a non-sparkling wine... or perhaps a coffee of sorts? | 11:35 |
| daftykins | a coffee! must admit i have no idea what it's premise is though, i just see it on the menu and it tastes ok :> | 11:35 |
| JimBuntu | Ah, ok. I imagine that it has a fair amount of cream in it.... hence the "white" label. | 11:36 |
| JimBuntu | I was thinking "It's a bit ealry for wine, outside of France, that is." | 11:37 |
| guiverc | it's nearly 22:40 by my clock; you're welcome to use my clock JimBuntu :) | 11:40 |
| JimBuntu | guiverc, I knew you were far away, didn't realize you were that far. | 11:40 |
| daftykins | hehe | 11:41 |
| JimBuntu | Kiwi? | 11:41 |
| guiverc | nah - aussie :) (melbourne) | 11:42 |
| JimBuntu | OMGosh, please tell me you are on FiJi! | 11:42 |
| daftykins | ooh, a mate lived there for a couple of years | 11:42 |
| JimBuntu | Oh, Ok. So many Aussies on IRC. It's disproportionate. | 11:43 |
| daftykins | when i was a kid everyone online seemed to be a teenager from California | 11:43 |
| BluesKaj | yup, lots of the 5 eyes | 11:43 |
| Allie` | daftykins: flat white is a latte with less milk | 11:44 |
| JimBuntu | is that 2 for regular looking, BluesKaj , and 3 for all the things that wanna kill you? | 11:44 |
| * Allie` doesn't like a lot of milk in their coffee but also doesn't drink espresso for breakfast :P | 11:44 | |
| guiverc | maybe the clock in this room is wrong :( i turned off my second screen that has the clock on it; so was going by the time on the clock-radio in the room - it's suddenly an hour earlier ! sorry | 11:44 |
| JimBuntu | guiverc, no worries, I figured my maths was off. | 11:44 |
| BluesKaj | they had cheap long dustance phone rates in calif | 11:45 |
| daftykins | Allie`: ah-ha | 11:45 |
| JimBuntu | Allie, I had a request in to my wifes friend from London to determine what a flat white was... need to cancel that ticket, lol | 11:45 |
| Allie` | :P | 11:46 |
| Allie` | one of the better trendy coffees, imo | 11:46 |
| BluesKaj | JimBuntu, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Eyes | 11:46 |
| daftykins | i live about 10m from our 'high street' in the centre of town, so i'm spoilt by many cafe options for a takeaway lunch :) | 11:46 |
| guiverc | maybe its the long distances in aussieland - irc is a way to speak to your neighbor (you know the one 12km down the road......) [not me; I'm in the suburbs of a big city... like most I bet) | 11:46 |
| JimBuntu | How is it... that *I* end up being the one living far from the cities, even when talking to Aussies?! | 11:48 |
| guiverc | many benefits (probably) living in city daftykins, but I like wildlife, like trees so glad I'm not in a city :) | 11:48 |
| daftykins | oh it's not a city, i'm on a small island :) | 11:49 |
| guiverc | You're just lucky JimBuntu - i'm often thinking of moving further away from the city; this used to be the 'outskirts' of the city; alas hasn't been for years... | 11:49 |
| daftykins | https://goo.gl/maps/xVUE4DMHLyt <-- | 11:49 |
| JimBuntu | guiverc, we are also thinking of moving, as people keep moving closer. Perhaps it's time for that remote park ranger job. | 11:50 |
| BluesKaj | I'm 400KM North of Toronto, practically the North Pole the way they see things , most city ppl I know are geographically challenged :-) | 11:50 |
| JimBuntu | Geez daftykins , you might as well be IN France! Lucky dog. | 11:51 |
| daftykins | short ferry ride ;) | 11:51 |
| daftykins | i might try and drop by Toronto later this year when i come over stateside again | 11:51 |
| guiverc | i live in an island too :) alas not small... daftykins | 11:52 |
| BluesKaj | best of bothworlds eh daftykins | 11:52 |
| daftykins | been meaning to meet up with two of the guys i chat to there | 11:52 |
| guiverc | park ranger job sounds cool Jim :) | 11:52 |
| JimBuntu | guiverc, It's been a bit of a dream for the wifey and I. We almost did it before the urge for kiddies set in. Be those people who watch out for forest fires &c | 11:53 |
| JimBuntu | This convo is on-topic because I just said "Ubuntu", btw | 11:54 |
| daftykins | there's a game of that :) http://www.firewatchgame.com/ | 11:54 |
| daftykins | hehehe | 11:55 |
| guiverc | :) yeah I too would love that job; alas not the $s of other choices I fear... | 11:55 |
| JimBuntu | This machine I use for IRC is so maxed out on resources, took like 30 seconds to load the URL, lol, thanks Ubuntu for keeping this machine useful | 11:55 |
| BluesKaj | I live on the edge of the forest here in my little town ..well a few farms etc but a lot of bush and lakes too | 11:55 |
| daftykins | step 1 lay fiber to the watch tower, step 2 work for years to pay it off | 11:55 |
| JimBuntu | I have heard of this game. Didn't remember until I saw the front page. | 11:56 |
| JimBuntu | BluesKaj, You too are lucky. Wherever I go, I don't want my walk to a large river to be any longer than now... 300 paces is enough for me. | 11:56 |
| guiverc | 300 paces isn't much, if the river floods though.... (don't you suffered floods?) | 11:57 |
| daftykins | maybe 299 are downhill :D | 11:58 |
| guiverc | hill would help somewhat ! | 11:58 |
| JimBuntu | guiverc, We do not suffer, luckily, about 200 of those paces are down a steep hill. | 11:58 |
| daftykins | called it \o/ :D | 11:58 |
| JimBuntu | yup, daftykins ! | 11:58 |
| guiverc | :) I recall lots of helping family after floods, they lived near rivers, and remember the sandbags etc each year... | 11:59 |
| JimBuntu | There are homes about 1.5 km away... that are built about 3 feet above the average water level of the lake that is fed from the river.... they suffer, about every year | 11:59 |
| BluesKaj | yeah i'm about half a KM from a river in one direction and about 2KM from a lake in the other | 12:00 |
| BluesKaj | but were a good 20M above the river here | 12:00 |
| JimBuntu | I like living near the water, just about the right distance from the lake... since it's an all-sports lake... a.k.a. Party Lake that has lots of noise come summer. | 12:02 |
| JimBuntu | I need to request some official Ubuntu pamphlets. I could pass them out or leave a floating thingy on the lake. Grow some converts. | 12:03 |
| JimBuntu | lol, buy a gross of USB flash drives... load them up... but would people really insert a random flash drive they find?... Yes, yes they would. | 12:04 |
| daftykins | guaranteed :D | 12:05 |
| guiverc | Yep most would... | 12:05 |
| daftykins | when i was working in a school once, a colleague plugged in a students one and hosed the machine he worked from - before he left for the day he kicked it off on a reinstall xD | 12:05 |
| daftykins | i always had a Linux laptop beside me for tinkering so i'd have just sorted it out that way | 12:05 |
| JimBuntu | I'm the paranoid one... so a while back when I was at HQ and required a couple people to bring me flash drives for key exchanges... they made sure to wipe/zero their drives and were hesitant to plug them into their systems,lol | 12:06 |
| JimBuntu | "He could be testing us, protocol says we have to scan these first, for malware..." | 12:09 |
| BluesKaj | the wonderful MSWindows environment | 12:09 |
| daftykins | there's nothing wrong with it, just a lot of idiots who can't even drive it properly :) | 12:10 |
| JimBuntu | These were Mac users, but same difference. | 12:10 |
| BluesKaj | they're bit safer, but probly snobby cool | 12:10 |
| daftykins | have to be wealthy to pay 5x more for older hardware :D | 12:11 |
| JimBuntu | lol. daftykins that's all our company used for non-cloud machines. | 12:11 |
| JimBuntu | s/used/uses | 12:11 |
| daftykins | dishing out macbook pros to staff, is it? | 12:12 |
| JimBuntu | Yessir | 12:12 |
| daftykins | i'm sure it minimises the efforts of support a fair amount, but the way Apple has moved to soldered on SSDs means there's a fair few more considerations for keeping a staffers data safe | 12:13 |
| BluesKaj | ran into a few of those at a party ..told them about how mostly every app on linux is free ...by the looks I was getting I could tell they didn'tn beleive it | 12:13 |
| JimBuntu | daftykins, I am with you 1000%. I don't mind not having to answer Windows questions any more though. | 12:13 |
| JimBuntu | BluesKaj, I am the ugly duckling... as I use Ubuntu instead of macOS. I don't bother trying to convert staff though. | 12:14 |
| daftykins | it doesn't really matter that it's free in cost, because it takes you time to convert - so it depends what your time is worth :) | 12:15 |
| BluesKaj | I don't bother trying to convert my friends, most are phone addicted now anyway | 12:15 |
| BluesKaj | even the older guys like me | 12:16 |
| daftykins | mmm i see a lot that aren't bothering with a PC anymore | 12:16 |
| daftykins | i think it's because typically their PCs are crap and run badly, but since they may've needed a phone anyway they now have a pretty fast experience with a smartphone | 12:16 |
| daftykins | oh man, this tale may amuse you folks | 12:16 |
| JimBuntu | mobile is where it's at... bring on the masses of Ubuntu phones already | 12:16 |
| daftykins | one of my clients left a flash drive with some important data on it down in their holiday home abroad - so they asked a friends son if he wouldn't mind copying the data from it and sending it | 12:17 |
| BluesKaj | JimBuntu, i thought Canaonical gave up on the Ubuntu Phone | 12:17 |
| daftykins | he used WinRAR, created a spanned archive (for no apparent reason) then shared it across some weird Spanish encrypted file sharing service xD | 12:17 |
| daftykins | but instead of being a single email it was one email per spanned archive, so she had no idea what to do and called me in | 12:18 |
| JimBuntu | BluesKaj, I suggest they re-up on it... it's either that, or play follow the leader like Android. | 12:18 |
| daftykins | cue me piecing together these multiple emails to get them back together - then there was a password across the archive too, sheesh - that lad needs a lesson in practical approaches :> | 12:18 |
| JimBuntu | daftykins, lol. WinRAR... I always liked ARJ | 12:18 |
| BluesKaj | JimBuntu, if the phone was affordable , I'd probly buy one | 12:19 |
| daftykins | not familiar with that one, though i've heard of an ARC recently which is meant to be a Linux implementation for choosing the best tech out of zip/rar/7zip | 12:19 |
| daftykins | imo phones aren't about the initial cost, it's whether the software will keep getting supported | 12:20 |
| JimBuntu | nice, as they do have their differences. 7zip is becoming the standard, imho | 12:20 |
| === kallesbar_ is now known as kallesbar | ||
| BluesKaj | daftykins, I don't use aphone for much other than as a phone with a camera :-) | 12:21 |
| daftykins | i think that's the way it starts, but once more things become convenient you never know, you might begin reaching for it for more! :D | 12:22 |
| BluesKaj | well ido google some things when we get into music discussions at our jams | 12:23 |
| daftykins | :D | 12:24 |
| BluesKaj | who wrote that tune etc | 12:24 |
| BluesKaj | just to settle disagreements mostly, because we have a lot of those ...fortunatly one our guitar players is a walking encyclopedia about rock and country | 12:26 |
| BluesKaj | he and his brothers used to get into fist fights over who wrote this and that ...had break them up more than once :-) | 12:29 |
| daftykins | haha, bit petty | 12:29 |
| BluesKaj | no it was serious business to them | 12:30 |
| BluesKaj | one of them still has over 5000 vinyl albums in his collection | 12:31 |
| daftykins | yikes | 12:31 |
| BluesKaj | yup, 4 or 5 albums every payday foryrs | 12:31 |
| BluesKaj | anyway it's still nice to hear vinyl despite the odd crackle and pop | 12:34 |
| daftykins | i've never heard one on a proper setup, but having heard you have to actually clean the things to ensure playback is good - that's me out instantly | 12:35 |
| BluesKaj | yeah no digital sampling correction there..and .analog has become expensive now | 12:37 |
| BluesKaj | speaking of phones tho, I'll be in the market for one soon, this little alcatel is too small for my fingers | 12:48 |
| daftykins | ah har | 12:53 |
| daftykins | after something simple, or will you be forced to move to a smartphone? | 12:54 |
| BluesKaj | well, it is a smartphone, but it's using a realy old android OS and it has a small screen | 12:57 |
| daftykins | ah right | 12:58 |
| BluesKaj | alcatel idle one mini | 12:58 |
| BluesKaj | err idol one :-) | 12:59 |
| daftykins | :D | 13:00 |
| daftykins | i just chose the moto g6 play dual SIM for someone | 13:00 |
| daftykins | she's finally retiring her 2009 nokia 7020 flip phone | 13:00 |
| BluesKaj | yeah i had a moto flip phone til about 3 yrs ago | 13:02 |
| BluesKaj | til my wife lost it , so i bought a new one and the same day she found the moto in the bottom her purse :-) | 13:03 |
| daftykins | https://www.amazon.ca/Motorola-XT1922-5-Factory-Unlocked-Smartphone/dp/B07CHWTWYP/ | 13:03 |
| daftykins | yikes that was only £150 here | 13:04 |
| daftykins | ah marketplace seller, eww | 13:04 |
| BluesKaj | the new one was the little alcatel at 100bucks | 13:04 |
| BluesKaj | daftykins, our buck is only 78 cents US ...the money markets love screwing us, because our currency is like petro dollar to them | 13:08 |
| daftykins | mmm, we use England's pound so i was on xe.com converting it :> | 13:08 |
| daftykins | came out to £190 so not too far off but still a large % | 13:08 |
| BluesKaj | yup | 13:09 |
| JimBuntu | BluesKaj, one of the small joys of not bring retired... I haven't payed for a phone in ~20 years | 13:10 |
| JimBuntu | s/bring/being | 13:10 |
| BluesKaj | some of the US rust belt border cities accept our dollar at par just to increase their business | 13:11 |
| JimBuntu | Wow, I haven't heard of that in a long time. | 13:11 |
| BluesKaj | buffa for examplelo and detroit | 13:12 |
| BluesKaj | buffalo | 13:12 |
| BluesKaj | oops | 13:12 |
| daftykins | a mate lives in Sault Ste Marie, he says the folks over the bridge pop over for some low tax shopping :D | 13:12 |
| BluesKaj | oh yeah, lots ...the Ontario "Soo" as it's known locally keeps the Michigan side going | 13:14 |
| daftykins | *nod* | 13:14 |
| daftykins | and i thought us Guernsey folk had people beat for pronouncing things nowhere near how they're written | 13:15 |
| BluesKaj | altho the stell plant on the ontario side is gonna suffer duie to Trumps misguided idiotic 25% tarif on steel | 13:15 |
| BluesKaj | scuse the poor spelling, guess spellcheck was turned off | 13:16 |
| JimBuntu | I don't worry about such things here. | 13:20 |
| BluesKaj | JimBuntu, you're a pretty good speller..so am I usually, but my typing skills suck :-) | 13:22 |
| JimBuntu | Thanks, my typing skills could use improving. Although I type fairly well by touch only, I still find myself looking down way too often. | 13:23 |
| daftykins | i never got good at the number row's symbols touch typing, but i type fine enough without a glance | 13:25 |
| BluesKaj | my 9th grade typing teacher gave me a passing grade in her class as long as I didn't elect her class the next yr :-) | 13:26 |
| pragmaticenigma | I'm a great touch typist, my issue is I often switch the meaning of my sentence unintentionally by forgetting my word contractions | 13:29 |
| JimBuntu | "Keyboarding" class... lol. That was fun. Teacher hated that I didn't use the "home row"... I use the wrong fingers for so many things. I type with basically 4 fingers and 1 thumb. with the other thumb held down as an achor. | 13:30 |
| BluesKaj | despite being taught the touch typing technique I'm still a hant and peck guy | 13:30 |
| BluesKaj | hunt and peck ;-) | 13:31 |
| JimBuntu | hant and peck + hunt and peck = haunt and peck! Sounds super fun to me! | 13:31 |
| BluesKaj | yeah I'm haunted by it | 13:31 |
| JimBuntu | boogie woogie boo | 13:32 |
| daftykins | yeah i won't be told how to type either, just do it | 13:32 |
| JimBuntu | I learned my typing skills as a youngster using the Commodore 64, that keyboard was big for my wee hands at the time. Muscle Memory is hard to retrain it seems. | 13:33 |
| pragmaticenigma | I don't use the right fingers for most of the keys. I use the finger that is closest to the key I need at the time I need it... sometimes it's the right finger for the key, sometimes it's not. My left pinky is almost always anchored on shift though | 13:35 |
| daftykins | same :D | 13:35 |
| daftykins | i do have to giggle if i see folk who toggle caps lock for a single cap | 13:36 |
| JimBuntu | I shattered my right pinky as a child ( nothing soft about softball ) as a young'one. So I don't use it for anything. Crushed bone only heals to much. | 13:36 |
| pragmaticenigma | I've done that when I'm single hand typing. what irks me the most is Lenovo keyboards though. swapping the function key and the ctrl key around | 13:36 |
| JimBuntu | I know your pain pragmaticenigma, when it comes to Lenovos... try mixing Lenovo + MacBook + normal... | 13:37 |
| pragmaticenigma | I find the swap more annoying on the laptops... regular keybaord doesn't bother me as much. | 13:38 |
| daftykins | as long as i've got super and my alts, i'm good :> | 13:40 |
| BluesKaj | I really didn't start using a keyboard until the early 80s when my job required using instrument application based computers, so learning to type again (even hunt and peck) at 40 wasn't much fun. | 13:40 |
| pragmaticenigma | I've never had much luck with the super in linux... just doesn't always seem to work, even with standard simple keyboards | 13:46 |
| JimBuntu | Really? I don't use it much, only to bring up Dash search, once in a blue moon... but it works for me in that respect. I can't speak outside of Ubuntu though as I decided a number of years ago not to play with other distros ( unless I build them myself ). | 13:47 |
| BluesKaj | build from scratch JimBuntu or build like gentoo? | 13:53 |
| BluesKaj | trying gentoo 10 yrs ago was a (WTF?) mistake, it scared nme off for life i thinkl | 14:01 |
| BluesKaj | as the saying goes, no country for old men :-) | 14:02 |
| JimBuntu | BluesKaj, Build from scratch or BuildRoot type stuff | 14:06 |
| daftykins | i find it an inefficient use of resources, conceptually | 14:06 |
| JimBuntu | daftykins, Gentoo, for sure. For embedded systems with highly limited resources, it's OK | 14:07 |
| daftykins | *nod* | 14:07 |
| BluesKaj | hmm, never seen icons freeze in the task manager before..had to reboot | 14:08 |
| hggdh | late morning to all. Thunderstorm woke me, thank the gods | 14:08 |
| JimBuntu | Great morning hggdh ! | 14:09 |
| BluesKaj | 'Morning hggdh | 14:10 |
| BluesKaj | a cold rainy day here | 14:10 |
| hggdh | a hot rainy day here :-) | 14:10 |
| hggdh | or, in other words: Texas sucks | 14:11 |
| BluesKaj | Northern Ontario isn't much fun right now either, swarming with blackflies this time of yr..mosuitos will be here next :/ | 14:12 |
| BluesKaj | mosquitos even | 14:13 |
| daftykins | :S | 14:13 |
| daftykins | so glad we don't get many | 14:13 |
| BluesKaj | and we have the 10 yr cycle of the tent caterpillar swarms too | 14:13 |
| BluesKaj | some birds love it , other won't touch them | 14:14 |
| BluesKaj | others | 14:14 |
| hggdh | I put a fly trap in the backyard last week, it is still going, and now has about 3cm of dead flies in it | 14:14 |
| hggdh | (I mean depth) | 14:14 |
| daftykins | wowzer | 14:14 |
| EriC^ | what is this fly trap? | 14:15 |
| BluesKaj | but one good thing, I've seen a lot more bees than in past yrs | 14:16 |
| EriC^ | crap i cant even type anymore, both my wrists have 2cm balls swollen on each side of my palm O.o | 14:16 |
| EriC^ | can one use a gpu with a laptop? | 14:18 |
| JimBuntu | EriC^, external GPU? Sure can. | 14:19 |
| BluesKaj | there are outboard gpus | 14:19 |
| EriC^ | how difficult is it? | 14:19 |
| EriC^ | what do i search for to buy? | 14:19 |
| JimBuntu | As far as I have heard, it's basically plug and play as much as any internal GPU. Simply need to install the correct module(s). afaik, no worse than normal NVidia headaches. | 14:21 |
| daftykins | well you first have to check if you have thunderbolt / express card | 14:21 |
| BluesKaj | EriC^, this has an annoying video accompanying the text , but it looks useful https://www.pcworld.com/article/2984716/laptop-computers/how-to-transform-your-laptop-into-a-gaming-powerhouse-with-an-external-graphics-card.html | 14:23 |
| EriC^ | it seems you connect it to the place the wifi card is usually connected in the laptop | 14:24 |
| EriC^ | does that make sense? | 14:24 |
| JimBuntu | sounds like an express port | 14:25 |
| daftykins | no it doesn't | 14:25 |
| EriC^ | https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00Q4VMLF6/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&me= | 14:25 |
| JimBuntu | lol, this computer is so slow right now.... fully utilized resources. | 14:25 |
| JimBuntu | Yup, mini-PCI Express connection. That's dope. | 14:26 |
| daftykins | honestly it would make far more sense to just buy a cheap older generation desktop | 14:26 |
| daftykins | that's a really terrible idea :) | 14:26 |
| EriC^ | it's only $50 though | 14:26 |
| JimBuntu | but, I like lots of fragile cables running out of my "netbook" lol | 14:27 |
| EriC^ | motherboard + ram + hdd + i7 cpu would cost like $500+ | 14:27 |
| EriC^ | i could run it on the older hp laptop i have, it's an i7 4core with 6gb ram and an ssd | 14:27 |
| daftykins | but you don't need to buy new is what i just said | 14:27 |
| EriC^ | ah i cant find used stuff here easily | 14:27 |
| hggdh | EriC^: it is a plastic packet with an entry point, and some powder insider. You fill it half-way with water, and hang outside | 14:28 |
| daftykins | nah it's totally impractical, even if you did have the slot and the design of your laptop let you trail the cable outside - you've got to know that you only get about 75% of the performance of a graphics card when attached externally - and that's with proper thunderbolt enclosures | 14:28 |
| EriC^ | hggdh: aha, pretty effective | 14:28 |
| EriC^ | oh | 14:28 |
| EriC^ | thought itd be 100% | 14:29 |
| daftykins | you have to buy a graphics card *and* a desktop PSU to run that adapter you linked, too | 14:29 |
| hggdh | indeed it is. More than I expected. Side result, though, is that it seems the flies call their friends to the party. So you have to hang the packet farther from the door... | 14:29 |
| daftykins | i would be willing to bet both Linux and Windows would be nightmares to run with that, too | 14:29 |
| EriC^ | heh | 14:30 |
| EriC^ | this is a crazy idea, i wonder if i could use the ps4 gpu to game on the pc | 14:30 |
| daftykins | well the game is on the consoles too, be easier to just play it there :) | 14:31 |
| EriC^ | i dont like the controller in it, i tried hooking up a keyboard and it kinda works it lags a little though | 14:32 |
| EriC^ | (the mouse lags) | 14:33 |
| daftykins | mmm not designed for it | 14:34 |
| EriC^ | yeah | 14:34 |
| daftykins | there's the software that lets you use your PS4 over the network from a PC too, but i don't know what influence that has on input devices | 14:35 |
| EriC^ | right, brb | 14:37 |

| oerheks | AI gets better every full moon | 22:46 |
| hggdh | heh | 22:51 |
| tomreyn | artificial lack of intelligence. | 22:53 |
| oerheks | hggdh and tomreyn: Hi and thanks for your reply. ... Answer or reply soon. Thanks again : ) | 22:54 |
| hggdh | perhaps this is why he got booted from the mint channels? | 22:54 |
| oerheks | Noooooooooooooo... mint channels never ban AFAIK | 22:56 |
| nacc | theh are just saying they won't go back, not clear if they've been kicked to me | 22:56 |
| hggdh | I did not say kicked :-) | 22:57 |
| oerheks | i think it is an IRC bot that came with the illegal guitar-pro-6 of arooni | 22:57 |
| oerheks | :-D | 22:57 |
| hggdh | nacc: he has been warned enough. Let's see what happens now | 22:57 |
| nacc | hggdh: ack | 22:58 |
| hggdh | patience -=1; if (patience < 0) then finish; | 23:05 |
| oerheks | lets send an invite from ##linux then? | 23:05 |
| hggdh | heh | 23:05 |
| hggdh | might even work. Is ##linux +r, or not? | 23:06 |
| oerheks | err .. not sure how to do that in hexcaht.. | 23:07 |
| tomreyn | * ##linux :You're not a channel operator | 23:08 |
| hggdh | /mode <channel> will reply with the channel modes in effect | 23:08 |
| hggdh | and it is not +r, so he can go there | 23:09 |
| tomreyn | but inviting him wont work. maybe we can create ##linux-invitation-for-berwyn and setup channel forwarding on it to ##linux | 23:10 |
| tomreyn | and then invite him | 23:10 |
| hggdh | Mode ##linux [+CLPcnptf] | 23:10 |
| hggdh | too much effort | 23:10 |
| oerheks | ##ubuntu-for-mint-users | 23:10 |
| oerheks | & wsl | 23:11 |
| tomreyn | ##mint-support-for-mint-users-who-ask-for-ubuntu-support | 23:11 |
| hggdh | LOL | 23:11 |
| oerheks | double ## good | 23:11 |
| hggdh | well, wil walk the dogs now. I will see what happened when I am back | 23:12 |
| hggdh | oerheks: please do not respond | 23:48 |
| hggdh | sigh. He was going out finally... | 23:49 |
| oerheks | Thanks, but he is "berwyn!*@* added to ignore list." | 23:50 |
| hggdh | heh. It works | 23:50 |
| tomreyn | this works better | 23:57 |
| hggdh | unfortunately it does | 23:58 |
| hggdh | and now we will have to deal with the (potential) fallout | 23:59 |
