[06:48] Good morning interpeepz [06:54] morning boys and girls. [07:00] hey brobostigon [07:01] morning knightwise [07:46] hey brobostigon whazzup today [07:56] knightwise: playtesting the pathfinder playtest with some friends this afternoon, i am the gm, my scenario. [08:50] morning [08:50] morning [09:09] hey czajkowski [09:12] knightwise: hows things? [09:45] Doing ok, trying to get my head around the problemsn and technology involving chatbots and AI for a project at work [09:46] interesting stuff to see how smart and how dumb computers are at the same time [10:13] smart a.i., real dumb :-) [10:59] yes indeed [12:22] knightwise: ah i had a comment regarding your X forwarding question yesterday, the better plan would be if you have something like a Pi running 24/7 you could make use of ZNC to keep your own IRC instance going, then you can use GUI clients like Hexchat to connect into that instance whichever computer you're on - if that's of any use [12:22] i've never tried it though, just have friends who use it - i'm still using the ancient screen + irssi combo [12:27] i did look at setting up the pi as an irc bouncer earlier but the configuration instructions for the software was... not great... [12:28] so irssi it is :-) [12:28] open source standard then ;) [12:28] * daftykins ducks [12:29] nah, even open source can be counted on for rambling blogs or instructions good enough. but irc bouncer felt more like, here's the binary, good luck o/ [12:29] i suspect the user group is so small that it hasn't gotten that far yet [12:29] was that its' actual name? because i'm pretty sure ZNC would be easy [12:30] does x2go have an option to keep your session alive when you disconnect? I may have imagined that though. [12:31] i looked at 2-3 irc bouncers... irssi has the capablity too but i ended up just using it as a console based irc client [12:31] honestly, forwarding a whole GUI app instead of something like ZNC is wholly wasteful [12:31] plus the experience would suffer greatly [12:31] bandwidth is cheap... :-) [12:31] no it's not, when mobile [12:32] but it would irk me to connect via a remote desktop option when it should just be forwarding text... [12:32] and it's latency that'd matter [12:32] 'xactly [12:32] ssh is forwarding text.... :-) [12:36] nobody disputed that [12:36] and you can claim that random blogs and what not help spread info on things but more often than not they contain really bad practices :D [12:37] true, but they often can be the software configuration version of youtube unboxing videos [12:41] https://twitter.com/NateLanxon/status/1027314148810604547 [13:09] diddledan: what a load of ship [13:33] don't barge your way into this conversation [13:36] xD [13:46] otherwise we'll be to hull and back...
