[14:11] <daftykins> o/
[14:11] <hggdh> daftykins: diet America keeps on dieting, and getting, ah, larger
[14:12] <daftykins> just a joke name for Canada :D
[14:16] <BluesKaj> Hey ducass, daftykins, hggdh, well we're more Trump like in ontario, Rob Ford's (former coke snorting mayor of Torornto) brother Doug just won a landslide victory in the Ontario elections ...a promise them everything so called conservative
[14:17] <daftykins> ah so that's who he is, my friend in Hamilton was mentioning voting yesterday
[14:18] <BluesKaj> oop sToronto :-) ...
[14:21] <BluesKaj> yup, I didn't vote his party ..he has no experience in politics on that level, he was a Toronto city councillor before running for the conservative party's leadership, but hemanaged to win that by too many cnadidates splitting the vote
[14:22] <BluesKaj> now we have newbie running the show ...circus is more like it
[14:23] <sonicwind> join the club :-)
[14:24] <BluesKaj> yeah,  goinf downhill fast
[14:28] <BluesKaj> ducasse: , bought a new audio receiver on amazon, supposedly has great sound, not too expensive and enough power for this living room https://usa.denon.com/us/product/hometheater/receivers/avrs540bt
[16:31] <ducasse> BluesKaj: cool, congrats - denon makes good stuff
[16:36] <BluesKaj> ducasse:  yeah, my 13 yr old Harman Kardon still sounds good but I can fix some clunky switching problems between audio and video sources an d still have decent sound
[16:37] <BluesKaj> with the Denon
[16:38] <BluesKaj> the HK will be a bedroom system now
[16:41] <ducasse> you already have speakers for the bedroom system?
[16:42] <daftykins> :D
[16:42] <daftykins> i wish i could get rid of the idle buzz on my bedroom NAD
[16:43] <daftykins> it happens even with speakers detached, so must be the transformer
[16:43] <ducasse> \o daftykins - how's you?
[16:43] <daftykins> pretty good thanks! lazy day today as i'm mostly waiting on other peoples actions to progress some work
[16:43] <daftykins> just plugged in my old das keyboard for a test :>
[16:43] <daftykins> how's things your end?
[16:45] <ducasse> my laptop keyboard is on the fritz - one more reason to consider an upgrade. thinking of buying a refurbished thinkpad.
[16:46] <daftykins> ah yes you mentioned finding the local reseller, sounds like a plan
[16:46] <ducasse> other than that luna and me are good :)
[16:47] <daftykins> i'm still waiting on a client deciding what to do about a system that's failing
[16:47] <daftykins> fools continue to use it despite knowing it's at deaths door
[16:52] <ducasse> i should do something about my fileserver as well, but money
[17:07] <BluesKaj> ducasse yes i have a pair  home built pilips speakers from the 80's and they still sound good
[17:07] <BluesKaj> philips rather
[17:14] <BluesKaj> daftykins:  got one of those led lampa nearby the NAD, those can cause weird noises in audio equipment
[17:15] <BluesKaj> lamps
[17:21] <lotuspsychje> good evening to all

[17:24] <lotuspsychje> hey daftykins
[17:24] <daftykins> hmm i think i was going to test it next at another house just to rule out the mains supply
[17:24] <daftykins> hi lotus :) all good in the hood? :)

[17:24] <BluesKaj> yeah so far the weather's nice , lotuspsychjenice
[17:25] <BluesKaj> oops
[17:25] <lotuspsychje> BluesKaj: they predict 'tropical heat' on our side this weekend
[17:25] <BluesKaj> heh, phat phingers missed the back space

[17:30] <lotuspsychje> nacc: that guy keeps on returning with weird stuff :p
[17:30] <nacc> lotuspsychje: yes, i think they are a troll.
[17:31] <EriC^> hey BluesKaj
[17:32] <lotuspsychje> nacc: lol at they
[17:47] <BluesKaj> well, got roped into setting up a gazebo .looks like I'll be gone for the duration...take care
[17:48] <daftykins> hehehe
[18:47] <EriC^> !ping
[19:03] <lotuspsychje> new factoid
[19:03] <lotuspsychje> !netplan
[19:10] <blackflow> a factoid about snaps would be useful too.
[19:12] <daftykins> pretty sure i'd seen one
[19:12] <lotuspsychje> !snappy
[19:14] <lotuspsychje> blackflow: you can request ideas to factoids if you like
[19:14] <blackflow> yah but snappy ain't it snaps, it's a distro.
[19:15] <daftykins> might be another one, search the db
[19:15] <lotuspsychje> blackflow: how would you describe a snap factoid?
[19:16] <blackflow> lotuspsychje: "Snaps are containerised software packages similar to flatpaks or appimage. For more info, see https://snapcraft.io"
[19:16] <lotuspsychje> good idea
[19:16] <daftykins> comparing to alternatives isn't an explanation though
[19:16] <lotuspsychje> you know howto request?
[19:17] <daftykins> the best descriptions are free from existing examples
[19:17] <blackflow> daftykins: but gives people an idea. "containerized software packages" is the base explanation, imho.
[19:17] <daftykins> "Snaps are images of software including all of a programs dependencies needed to run, avoiding the hassles of incompatible libraries on a host. For more info go to..."
[19:18] <blackflow> "images of software". what's that :)
[19:18] <blackflow> photos?
[19:18] <lotuspsychje> lol
[19:18] <daftykins> hehe, a fair point, but i think you can see what i'm getting at too
[19:18] <daftykins> an ideal would probably be neither of ours
[19:19] <lotuspsychje> blackflow: /query ubottu and !snap is your-description-here
[19:19] <lotuspsychje> blackflow: when found as good idea, the ops will add it
[19:20] <blackflow> lotuspsychje: done, thanks.
[19:20] <lotuspsychje> tnx you
[19:20] <daftykins> now sit back whilst they remain pending for 6 months
[19:20] <daftykins> \o/
[19:20] <lotuspsychje> lol
[19:21] <lotuspsychje> they added/changed some good stuff lately daftykins
[19:21] <daftykins> \o/
[19:37] <lotuspsychje> nite nite all
[19:37] <lotuspsychje> see you another timezone
