| brobostigon | morning boys and girls. | 05:50 |
| zmoylan-pi | morning mammals | 05:59 |
| brobostigon | morning krikkets | 06:05 |
| knightwise | good morning ! | 06:12 |
| brobostigon | morning | 06:13 |
| knightwise | another day at the office :) Just arrived in Brussels | 06:15 |
| knightwise | Been doing some archiving at home . found a massive podcast collection from 2005 with a bunch of old shows | 06:29 |
| brobostigon | :) | 06:36 |
| knightwise | even the very first episodes of the knightcast | 06:38 |
| knightwise | medium to high cringe factor | 06:38 |
| knightwise | i think everyones keyboard melted today | 09:34 |
| knightwise | Mine is probably getting replayced btw | 09:34 |
| zmoylan-pi | those ibm model m's are designed to survive a 1950s atom test... :-) | 09:36 |
| knightwise | Yeah. I have a 2017 macbook pro with a butterfly keyboard. Need I say more ? | 09:40 |
| knightwise | if as much as an ameoba gets stuck under the keys, the jam up | 09:41 |
| knightwise | zmoylan-pi: i'm gearing up my Pi3 to become my dedicated remote CLI machine, Ive found a 128 gig USB stick that I had lying around. | 09:42 |
| knightwise | So with SSH, Tmux and some other apps I think I can get teh max out of that little machine | 09:43 |
| knightwise | What apps (cli) are you running on your pi ? | 09:43 |
| zmoylan-pi | irssi, newsbeuter, sc, ttytter, nano for editor, lynx for web browsing (no graphics), still looking for a database i like | 09:52 |
| knightwise | sc ? | 09:52 |
| zmoylan-pi | spreadsheet, i use as easy as on my desktop but occasionly i use sc on the pi | 09:53 |
| zmoylan-pi | i've even considered getting a pi-top laptop so i can bring my console addiction to my travelling computer | 09:54 |
| knightwise | well, you can get just about any older laptop and use it by only installing the cli version of linux . nu ? | 09:55 |
| knightwise | no ? | 09:55 |
| zmoylan-pi | yeah, but i like the idea of limited small laptops. and with the pi-top you should be able to upgrade as new pi's are releaed | 09:57 |
| knightwise | 319 Dollars ? ? whow | 09:58 |
| zmoylan-pi | not cheap, no... | 09:58 |
| zmoylan-pi | i've gotten used to spending about €250 for my laptops, spoiled i am in the eu :-) | 09:59 |
| knightwise | Hmm; the Pi-Tab is also interesting | 10:00 |
| zmoylan-pi | yeah, couple that with a solid usb keyboard and you'd also have a full linux distro laptop... | 10:00 |
| knightwise | nice toy to play around with | 10:01 |
| zmoylan-pi | a full linux distro is not a toy... coz linux sux at gaming :-P | 10:02 |
| knightwise | lol true | 10:02 |
| knightwise | hmm. i SSH in from my ipad pro to my Pi @ home. I get a pretty good fullscreen cli experience with that while only using minimal bandwidth | 10:05 |
| knightwise | even works on the train | 10:06 |
| zmoylan-pi | turning a locked down appliance into a real computer | 10:22 |
| knightwise | yep , works surprisingly well | 11:17 |
| knightwise | and it looks cool | 11:21 |
| knightwise | listening back to an archive of podcasts from 2005 .. oh boy | 12:35 |
| knightwise | zmoylan-pi: have you ever played with exposing the pi webserver and making it do things with py scripts ? like triggering your google home etc | 13:03 |
| zmoylan-pi | no, i see the pi at home as a simple tool that i only use when at home. i've looked into exposing it to the internet for remote access outside of the house but i'd want to feel more confident in that i could secure it | 13:12 |
| zmoylan-pi | a lot more confident | 13:12 |
| knightwise | True, what ports do you expose , only ssh ? | 13:19 |
| daftykins | never seen that before, my bank told google automatically about my new card details to update their payment system o0 | 13:30 |
| mgdm | that's happened to me with Apple Pay before | 13:33 |
| daftykins | interesting | 13:46 |
| daftykins | i'd have seen that happen if it does on google pay, but my phone with the older card reg'd died, so i didn't see the transition | 13:46 |
| zmoylan-pi | only ssh on the rasp-pi atm | 13:47 |
| mgdm | it was quite handy because I could use my phone to pay for things 3 days before the card showed up :) | 13:48 |
| zmoylan-pi | saw a plonker paying with an apple watch for the first time yesterday. looked super awkward trying to twist wrist to touch the reader with the watch while filling hands with groceries | 13:48 |
| mgdm | it's always fun to watch (ahem) those folk on the London Underground | 13:50 |
| daftykins | zmoylan-pi: xD | 14:00 |
| brobostigon | https://photos.app.goo.gl/v4RDXg92PovXoyMQ8 :) | 20:59 |
| zmoylan-pi | only 1 of each? pft... newb... :-P | 21:03 |
| brobostigon | haha, :) | 21:03 |
| zmoylan-pi | you're supposed to have a 5lb bag of d4s alone just so you can scatter them on the floor and stop a hoard on ninjas :-D | 21:04 |
| brobostigon | :D | 21:04 |
| zmoylan-pi | another 5lb of d20s so you can honestly tell a police officer that you critically hit that mugger :-P | 21:05 |
| brobostigon | hehe | 21:07 |
| zmoylan-pi | and enough pencils that you could in a pinch put vampire hunter on job applications | 21:08 |
| brobostigon | or enough that i can put, arcane magic expert on my cv. | 21:09 |
| zmoylan-pi | more than that... https://www.reddit.com/r/DnD/comments/2vf84f/how_to_incorporate_dd_into_your_resume/ | 21:11 |
