[06:54] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.

[10:34] <Myrtti> *squint*
[10:47] <Myrtti> slow day I see
[10:47] <MattJ> Hello
[10:55] <diddledan> allo, Myrtti , some of us are in the ubuntu podcast telegram which is more active than here these days
[10:57] <Myrtti> I see
[11:36] <MattJ> Telegram :/
[12:22] <diddledan> popey: did you break telegram?!
[12:25] <diddledan> 500 error on their homepage, too https://telegram.org/
[12:26] <mgdm> Jabber...?
[12:33] <diddledan> good plan, mgdm
[12:33]  * diddledan spins up a server :-p
[12:34] <MattJ> mgdm, Jabber \o/
[12:34] <mgdm> MattJ: it still works \o/
[12:38] <Myrtti> question du jour
[12:39] <Myrtti> should I upgrade from 1604 with Unity to the unknown without it
[12:39] <MattJ> Apparently https://matthewwild.co.uk/uploads/jabber.png was (almost) 10 years ago
[12:39] <mgdm> :D
[12:39] <mgdm> I should fire up a Jabber server again, I didn't bother after I moved VPS last time
[12:40] <MattJ> sudo apt install prosody, something something certs, and away you go
[12:42] <mgdm> Ah, I haven't tried that one, I was previously using ejabberd
[12:42] <MattJ> I started the project... almost 10 years ago :)
[12:42] <diddledan> yeah I've used ejabberd in the past
[12:42] <MattJ> I started it because I also used ejabberd in the past
[12:43] <MattJ> Though to be fair, ejabberd is also better than it used to be
[12:44] <diddledan> ejabberd is written in erlang IIRC?
[12:44] <MattJ> Yeah
[12:44] <diddledan> really esoteric choice of language IMO
[12:45] <MattJ> In theory it got them clustering for free (the ability to host the same domain across multiple servers), something that Prosody still doesn't have
[12:45] <diddledan> if it were conceived now then I bet they'd do it in Golang like all the cool kids :-p
[12:45] <MattJ> In reality clustering isn't something you can plug and play
[12:45] <mgdm> MattJ: ah cool, I didn't realise it was one of yours, I will give it a shot later :-)
[12:45] <MattJ> There's a very early-stage server in Go: https://github.com/ortuman/jackal
[12:46] <MattJ> mgdm, feedback welcomed if you do :)
[12:47] <mgdm> sure!
[12:59] <popey> diddledan: i did?
[12:59] <popey> go me!
[12:59] <diddledan> yey
[12:59] <diddledan> well someone did
[12:59] <diddledan> it might as well be you, because it wasn't me :-p
[13:00] <diddledan> been down about an hour now
[13:04] <diddledan> did you fix it?!
[13:09] <popey> Yes, yes I did.
[13:37] <daftykins> o0
[13:38] <mgdm> now Slack is burst
[13:38]  * mgdm proceeds to get work done
[13:41] <daftykins> i found yet another use for cat6 UTP strands, this time lashing a gutter to a wall - https://imgur.com/a/hSo0X30
[13:42] <daftykins> i'm not convinced it'll hold, mind you :)
[13:42] <mgdm> I think you might have exceeded the Cat6 bending radius, there... :-)
[13:42] <daftykins> :D
[13:42] <daftykins> drat my throughput may suffer
[13:43] <daftykins> with a couple of gutters smartened up along with those new windows, it's finally time to get rid of the scaffold after a good year
[13:44] <daftykins> the next one down spans the whole width of the house, i'm drawing the line there!
[13:52] <knightw0rk> hey guys ;)
[13:53] <knightw0rk> will it dupport the rain torrent protocol ?
[13:55] <daftykins> depends if it gets clogged with seeds :>
[20:58] <marshmn> hmmm, I just found 'Rambox'
[20:58] <marshmn> I've been using Wavebox for the past couple of weeks - it's been working well for me, but now that it's free trial is ending...
[20:59] <marshmn> thought I might as well see if there is a free equivalent of some sort...
[20:59] <marshmn> looks like Rambox might just fit the bill
[22:36] <diddledan> did someone break telegram again?!
[22:37] <zmoylan-pi> slack was down earlier, now google speakers and chromecast are a bit wonky... i blame the heat...
[22:37] <zmoylan-pi> but as long as that 1 hamster keeps running in his wheel irc abides... :-)
[22:37] <diddledan> squeek
[22:38]  * zmoylan-pi applies a little wd40 to the wheel...
