[09:45] paint smell is gone, place smells of fresh wood [09:45] we used american pallet-wood to cover one of the walls [09:45] makes the place look very rustic [09:47] ooh yes i see the above pic now, i hope that mug contains a tasty beverage [09:47] Yep , Half of my coffee rations [09:47] i've moved down to a maximum of 2 cups a day [09:47] rest is tea [09:48] i've often found tea seems like the more mild alternative now, too - have quite a few now [09:48] too much coffee makes me stressed and ancious [09:49] I was completely stressed out during our holidays, decided it was time for a change [09:49] right, i best get myself cleaned up and to the bank, then i can have a word with the charity shop staff about these two spruced up laptops for them to try and shift :D [09:49] so i started meditating/mindfullness, cut down on coffee and stuff like social media and stuff [09:50] daftykins: good luck with that dude :) [09:50] ah didn't get the relaxing effect of the holiday huh? that sounds terrible [09:50] nope , got a stress-backlash [09:50] with a wood covered wall you can give classes on axe throwing or advanced sysadmin :-) [09:50] yikes [09:50] hahahah :) THAT is an excellent idea [09:50] and we can practice on LIVE USERS [09:50] only once... :-p [09:51] good that you're nipping that one in the bud now, as i know someone who had to go off work for an entire year during a stress related breakdown... in fact that's why i ended up teaching, to help cover for them [09:51] zxmoy-pi: they still breathe after you chop off an arm [09:51] daftykins: wife had a burn out 4 years ago. not something you wanna go through [09:51] yeah but they won't stand still to try again... [09:51] eek [09:51] she never fully recovered. Says she is like a phone battery that only charges 80% [09:58] well, that's definitely better than nothing [09:59] was it a busy work life that did it? [10:03] Work mostly, Giving 120 percent for 4 years on end [10:03] bad bosses who offered her no help [10:03] and one day .. poof: she could no longer go up the stairs [10:05] work them till they're knackered, there's plenty more waiting for a job :-/ [10:08] zxmoy-pi: very true [10:08] drone 4993 is defective, replace with drone 4994 [10:08] she always says she got the "BSOD" for 3 years and only then slowy rebooted [10:09] she is now a therapist counceling people with stress issues, (Shiatsu and relaxation therapy) and works in our company as a trainer/coach teaching entrepreneurs about Social Media [10:10] amazon are walking themselves into a massive lawsuit soon with the same treatment of their warehouse workers [10:10] technically they work for other companies for amazon but some smart lawyer will find a way to nail them [10:11] yep. Welcome to the new slavery [10:11] Same thing with online stores like zalando and stuff [10:11] order-pickers are the slaves of the next decenium [10:11] till robots put them out of work [10:12] * knightwise is currently working for a company helping them with Chatbots and AI, [10:12] take a gooood hard look at the helpdesk/callcenter agent. [10:12] cuz a lot of them arent going to be around for that much longer [10:12] no no, they promised those jobs weren't at risk from robots... [10:15] zxmoy-pi: every time you say "hey google" or'hey alexa" you are feeding them linguistic data that helps their voice recognition systems become smarter [10:15] the smarter they get .. the faster they can replace a menial callcenter agent [10:16] i have never used alexa or hey google [10:16] never will [10:16] will never buy amazon [10:16] i have one in the office , /me needs to know how it works [10:17] hmm.

[15:10] !test [15:10] Testing... Testing... 1. 2.. 3... [15:10] you have to ask in #ubuntu-ops [15:10] also hi :> [15:10] daftykins: wow i didn't know you were an ubuntu uk member [15:11] did you get anywhere with that lemon laptop of your aunts the other day? just done some full disassembly of a couple here myself which had faulty HDDs [15:11] i came here to find out how to make the factoids for ubottu because i can't remember how to make them for ubnotu lol [15:11] oh i'm not a member, i just lurk here since they've yet to ban me ;) [15:11] i didn't think there would be anyone here that knew me [15:12] and i can wave across at the English Channel at them! [15:12] lol [15:12] -at [15:12] i did put linux on her laptop but she hasn't seen it yet [15:13] it works okay i think i don't really know how to test it but i think it is okay [15:13] given the age it no doubt has clogged vents like the ones i got and failed HDDs :> [15:14] maybe i can try to clean it [15:14] https://dafty.rocks/nextcloud/s/w8J28nLfbbrs6bb - i'd been boring this lot with my pics [15:14] yeah, even easier if they're not like the two i had - HP and Compaq that needed even the LCD off to get down to the board :( [15:14] is that your domain? [15:14] yep [15:14] that's an awesome domain! [15:15] heh thanks [15:15] oh my gosh you took it apart completely [15:15] that's why you are always telling me to fix things for myself [15:15] * m0nkey__ lurks here too [15:16] but that sort of taking it apart terrifies me [15:16] yeah, had i not sorted that cooling, it would've overheated for the people picking them up from the charity shop i just gave them to [15:16] i would never get it back together [15:16] hi m0nkey__ [15:16] well if you google the range you can find the service manuals so it's quite easy to follow along [15:16] reading the service manual is a skill tho [15:16] m0nkey__: \o [15:17] naaah it just has pics [15:17] and "take out these screws" [15:17] i don't know how the guy got his data off them, because the original OSs just totally froze up due to the faulty HDDs + overheating [15:18] Louis is live \o/ www.twitch.tv/rossmanngroup [15:18] Happy little macbook [15:19] daftykins: you gave it to a charity? [15:20] yeah by chance 10m from my door is one of the UK chain of cancer research places, so i popped down and asked if they would take them to sell in their shop [15:20] so just this morning i took the first one in, loaded up with Xubuntu - we'll see if it shifts [15:20] wow thats awesome [15:20] oh wow [15:20] just been fixing up a small Dell desktop as well but i don't know if they'll take that [15:20] i had to put spare HDDs in of my own to get the laptops back to working order [15:21] someone will be lucky to have it [15:22] dunno if i'd go that far xD webcam and wifi were all working fine though - and they were able to play youtube videos fullscreen [15:22] currently zeroing the HDD in the desktop then i'll get an OS on there too [15:22] is that a good test? [15:22] i put kubuntu on my aunts laptop so its not like i found a light weight one [15:22] but i feel like it looks okay [15:23] depending on the specs it would most likely be impractical to run well for anyone without patience like me [15:23] i tried to test it by opening firefox over and over again and starting different youtube videos and playing them all at once. [15:23] if i were selling these for profit i'd be putting SSDs in for sure [15:23] it isn't fast like you are used to [15:23] but i think her laptop was not that fast when it had xp on it either [15:24] i dunno, it was a pretty simple OS [15:24] i cringed when i saw XP boot on this Dell desktop just now xD [15:24] hoping not to see that ever again :D [15:26] seriously though, you must join the SSD master race - computing will never be the same again! :D [15:27] i wish i could === m0nkey__ is now known as m0nkey_ [17:46] did telegram just die? [17:48] https://outage.report/telegram seems yes [17:49] * diddledan blames popey [17:50] xD [18:05] oh [18:05] I was wondering [18:05] I've only been using Telegram since the last week [18:05] yet another chat system though :/ [18:06] thank goodness for Rambox [19:09] diddledan: did you break telegram again?! [19:12] he tried to send a message in morse via telegtam?! :-P [20:14] Too many chats. [20:14] keep it simples. [20:14] IRC [20:14] That was nearly a haiku [20:16] :) [20:36] don't worry google has a plan... release so many chat platforms till everyone has their own... [20:38] then we'll all realise the mistake and switch to aol messenger :-) [20:51] Bring back ICQ [20:55] uh-oh! [21:00] twelve monkeys on bbc4, :) [21:03] i ...think icq is still going... [22:39] produce is to products as consume is to ___? [22:40] i don't really like the term "consumables" [22:48] it is the common use word... [23:36] concur [23:37] my friend and his wife, a vat, just nipped back to my house to help trim my cat's claws (because i'm a wimp) after a night out (they're over from England for a wedding of one of our old school friends this weekend) [23:37] i crept in, locked her flap then went to find her, all curled up atop the bed sheets on the top floor [23:37] "oh, hello hooman" [23:38] bring the rest of them in and go up, she's already crept under the bed and is camped out there with the least impressed face ever on her :D [23:38] but right now she's forgotten, all is forgiven
