floridagram-bot<RazPi> @KMyers00:24
floridagram-bot<ahoneybun> Damn where is that?00:24
floridagram-bot<Ivoriesablaze> dang, that sucks00:24
floridagram-bot<KMyers> Doh00:24
floridagram-bot<KMyers> But I like the epaper tags00:24
floridagram-bot<Ivoriesablaze> is that the one you're getting?00:25
floridagram-bot<RazPi> It's all that's available00:25
floridagram-bot<KMyers> @RazPi look up the model on Amazon. They may price match it if available00:25
floridagram-bot<KMyers> And lower00:26
floridagram-bot<RazPi> I think it's just 2usd off actually00:30
floridagram-bot<RazPi> https://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-860-evo-500gb-internal-sata-solid-state-drive-for-laptops/6178650.p?skuId=6178650&ref=212&loc=1&gclsrc=aw.ds&&ref=212&loc=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI5KTD2uC-3wIV1FqGCh1ZAgWNEAQYASABEgJxt_D_BwE00:30
floridagram-bot<KMyers> Ok. That is a large coffee00:31
floridagram-bot<RazPi> Good point xD00:32
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> If I feel like throwing together a home media box, hardware raid 5 advisable?04:57
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> Or are there better solutions for redundancy?04:57
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> Having just started thinking about it, something like freeNAS?04:58
floridagram-bot<gillymomo> Or Nethserver09:48
floridagram-bot<AdamOutler> Hacker.cheap is available https://domains.google.com/m/registrar/search?searchTerm=hacker.cheap&hl=en&tab=113:38
floridagram-bot<AdamOutler> Hacker.social.  That might be a good one for your tech sitek @KMyers13:38

floridagram-bot<RazPi> @KMyers @AdamOutler @Ivoriesablaze I think I found one or two new window managers to settle on17:21
floridagram-bot<RazPi> I think its time to revisit Metacity17:21
floridagram-bot<RazPi> https://cn.opendesktop.org/img//hive/content-pre1/13548-1.jpg17:21
floridagram-bot<AdamOutler> I prefer Explorer for the desktop17:26
floridagram-bot<RazPi> Windows Explorer?17:33
floridagram-bot<AdamOutler> Yes.17:33
floridagram-bot* AdamOutler hides17:33
floridagram-bot<RazPi> https://tr2.cbsistatic.com/hub/i/2012/03/12/5a310c87-c3a6-11e2-bc00-02911874f8c8/Slide22.PNG17:34
floridagram-bot<AdamOutler> It's true though. Linux is my favorite shell.  But for applications requiring GUI, I'm a fan of Windows.17:34
floridagram-bot<RazPi> I won't lie, it's not easy to make the desktop experience as smooth as windows17:34
floridagram-bot<AdamOutler> Dos she'll sucks.17:34
floridagram-bot<RazPi> That's why I needed something like that Metacity project to make me interested enough to try and tweak it to where its suitable17:35
floridagram-bot<RazPi> I couldn't get excited about tweaking kde, budgie, or gnome17:35
floridagram-bot<RazPi> Also due to CUDA it looks like I"m stuck with Ubuntu 18.04, so I'm going to attempt installing that today17:35
floridagram-bot<AdamOutler> When they removed wobbly windows from Ubuntu, I lost interest.17:35
floridagram-bot<AdamOutler> Wobbly windows was the bestm17:35
floridagram-bot<RazPi> I can't believe compiz died off17:36
floridagram-bot<RazPi> Last update was 2 years ago17:36
floridagram-bot<RazPi> I will say though that KDE's compositor caused me a bit of screen tearing in netflix, chrome, and in general17:36
floridagram-bot<RazPi> Barely noticeable but still noticeable, so I'm wary of compositors atm17:37
floridagram-bot<RazPi> !!!!17:41
floridagram-bot<RazPi> @AdamOutler It looks like compiz is still getting development17:41
floridagram-bot<RazPi> https://gitlab.com/compiz/compiz-core17:41
floridagram-bot<RazPi> https://github.com/compiz-reloaded17:41
floridagram-bot<ahoneybun> You can change kwin to something else @RazPi17:44
floridagram-bot<RazPi> I tried KDE, when I turned the monitor 90 degrees the mouse decided to scale up 400%19:00
floridagram-bot<RazPi> So I had this comically large mouse on the second screen19:00
floridagram-bot<RazPi> I like Qt  but I'm not convinced Plasma is what I want yet, I wonder if there's any good screenshots19:00
floridagram-bot* RazPi visits unixporn for ideas19:01
floridagram-bot<RazPi> https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/comments/9v4exm/plasma_what_have_i_done/19:18
floridagram-bot<Ivoriesablaze> wow19:21
floridagram-bot<KMyers> @RazPi, I was going to make a Windows joke ... And then I clicked on the link19:22
floridagram-bot<RazPi> XD19:22
floridagram-bot<AdamOutler> It's ok @KMyers there's still plenty above to comment on.19:23
floridagram-bot<AdamOutler> Fwd from AdamOutler: It's true though. Linux is my favorite shell.  But for applications requiring GUI, I'm a fan of Windows.19:23
floridagram-bot<SivaMachina> I think you can alter the compositer in kde20:04
floridagram-bot<SivaMachina> UI wise, I don't really the wat Win 10 looks20:07
floridagram-bot<RazPi> I think I'm starting to see Linux as more of a utility lately20:45
floridagram-bot<AdamOutler> It's my favorite tool.20:46
floridagram-bot<AdamOutler> It runs web services better than any other OS.20:46
floridagram-bot<RazPi> So even if I'm not a big fan of disjoint in ui, it's still a necessary move if it's going to be the "os of a lifetime" much like emacs is the "editor of a lifetime"20:46
floridagram-bot<RazPi> Like how master craftsmen often design  and customize their own tools20:47
floridagram-bot<AdamOutler> Speaking of craftsman20:47
floridagram-bot<AdamOutler> Christmas20:47
floridagram-bot<RazPi> What about it?20:48
floridagram-bot<RazPi> Ha xD20:48
floridagram-bot<AdamOutler> That20:48
floridagram-bot<RazPi> You need to pay Jonathan coultons shopvac song in there20:49
floridagram-bot<RazPi> https://youtu.be/y4sOfO8Ei1g20:49
floridagram-bot<SivaMachina> Windows is more of a utility tool for me. Because currently the only time I would use it if it was for school or work or use an older version of Windows with no internet connection to play older games20:53
floridagram-bot<AdamOutler> @RazPi I don't understand that video.  What is it about?20:56
floridagram-bot<AdamOutler> They didn't really say why he has the shop vac on.20:56
floridagram-bot<RazPi> It's just the closest song to a garage that I know of20:57
floridagram-bot<RazPi> If there's any hidden meaning to it I'm not aware20:57
floridagram-bot<AdamOutler> Oh ok.20:58
floridagram-bot<RazPi> But it is indeed a song about a guy in his garage!20:58
floridagram-bot<RazPi> Not sure if there are others.20:58
floridagram-bot<AdamOutler> I think he's in the basement 😂20:58
floridagram-bot<RazPi> Man I didn't even get that right20:58
floridagram-bot<AdamOutler> He's in his workshop though20:59
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> @RazPi, GUI wise, I can only really stand Pantheon/cinnamon for some reason. But mostly Pantheon22:49
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> I think gtk is nice, but qt seemed easier easier to work with at first22:50
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> Then I found glade, but haven't messed with it yet22:51
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> Enlightenment is awesome and runs on potatoes22:59
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> I just can't get seem to run a DE for more than an hour before turning it off22:59
floridagram-bot<RazPi> Qt is a nicer framework23:16
floridagram-bot<RazPi> I gave up on gtk23:16
floridagram-bot<ahoneybun> Yep Qt is nice.23:17
floridagram-bot<ahoneybun> I do have an example usuage here: https://github.com/ahoneybun/keyboard-color-chooser23:17
floridagram-bot<RazPi> Enlightenment crashed on me but I like the idea23:18
floridagram-bot<RazPi> I wish there was a medium powered Qt DE23:18
floridagram-bot<RazPi> I'm conflicted on the usage of qt vs kivy, been using imgui for work and it's amazingly convenient23:19
floridagram-bot<ahoneybun> LXQT?23:30
floridagram-bot<Ivoriesablaze> with LXQT, you have a lot of fun connecting to a hidden network... like an arch amount of fun23:31
floridagram-bot<Ivoriesablaze> wait, you're on slackware23:31
floridagram-bot<Ivoriesablaze> nevermind23:31
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> @RazPi, If kivy on mobile, beware the forever splashscreen23:41
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> Prompted me to Port to Java because I'm impatient23:41
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> Looks like it has all the necessities though23:41
floridagram-bot<Abrerr> You're looking to write desktop apps?23:44
floridagram-bot<RazPi> yes with opengl context23:48
floridagram-bot<RazPi> I need to push custom textures from a camera23:49
floridagram-bot<RazPi> At high speed23:49
