| zxm-pi | best comment i've seen so far is they've finally found a way to charge you twice to run windows :-P | 00:43 |
|---|---|---|
| m0nkey_ | yup, i'm going ubuntu on the next reinstall | 01:04 |
| bigcalm | o/ | 09:08 |
| zxm-pi | \o | 09:09 |
| bigcalm | I've got that Friday feeling. Which is terribly disappointing when I remember it's Thursday | 09:27 |
| zxm-pi | has no one written a blursday song yet?! :-P | 09:27 |
| daftykins | mornin' | 09:52 |
| daftykins | diddledan: https://i.redd.it/fkctrzmn08a71.jpg | 11:12 |
| bigcalm | Heh | 11:13 |
| bigcalm | Clients who do dev with us and use M1 machines are problematic - most of our projects are set-up to use VirtualBox, which appears to be a problem for ARM | 11:14 |
| daftykins | is the virtualbox experience really that reliable to begin with? i always get the feeling it's like a house of cards | 11:15 |
| bigcalm | I guess it depends upon what you want to do with it | 11:22 |
| bigcalm | We use virtualbox, vagrant, and ansible to create repeatable dev environments | 11:23 |
| bigcalm | All of our devs use variants of Ubuntu, which helps | 11:23 |
| bigcalm | The boss is on Windows, so nothing works for him | 11:23 |
| zxm-pi | but, it doesn't work reliably :-P | 11:24 |
| bigcalm | We're setting up some client projects with Docker, in an effort to try and make them work cross-platform | 11:26 |
| zxm-pi | ::flicks lighter:: FREEDOS!!! WHOOOOOO! :-P | 11:28 |
| bigcalm | Boss has agreed to the idea of budget for a high end laptop with gpu enclosure. You never know unless you ask I guess | 13:58 |
| zxm-pi | gonna mine your way to a crypto fortune? :-P | 14:01 |
| daftykins | bigcalm: what for? | 14:05 |
| bigcalm | Copying popey and looking at the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon gen 9 and a Razer Core X to house my existing nVidia GeForce 1070Ti | 14:06 |
| daftykins | mobile on the go and some beans at home eh? i always read eGPU enclosures hamstring card performance to 70% or less of top | 14:09 |
| bigcalm | I have no experience of them :) | 14:09 |
| bigcalm | I'm not much of a gamer. But I have 3 x 27" UHD screens that would likely piss off a laptop | 14:10 |
| daftykins | ah if that's the focus, makes sense | 14:10 |
| daftykins | often wonder why gimp yourself with a laptop to begin though o0 | 14:11 |
| bigcalm | Considering I run my displays at 150% scale, I wish I had gone for lower spec and run them at native res | 14:11 |
| daftykins | suppose it's a pig keeping a desktop + laptop in sync | 14:11 |
| bigcalm | daftykins: exactly | 14:11 |
| zxm-pi | wow, i just got 1 27" screen and it's frickin huge. can't imagine what it would be like with 3. you could see 1 whole line of perl on those :-P | 14:11 |
| daftykins | mm i like my Dell U2719, 2560x1440 27" - 4K is too much imo | 14:11 |
| daftykins | well that's the centre and primary anyway | 14:12 |
| bigcalm | https://twitter.com/bigcalm/status/1415676809601982467 | 14:17 |
| zxm-pi | impressive. i got the 27" as it is 2 old fashioned screens side by side for me :-) | 14:19 |
| zxm-pi | i really need to move to a tiling window manager to make best use of it | 14:19 |
| daftykins | ooh slippery slope | 14:20 |
| daftykins | quite happy with window snapping here | 14:20 |
| bigcalm | I keep pondering altering kubuntu to give me a tiling WM. But I never have the time to invest for it to be beneficial | 14:21 |
| zxm-pi | i think because i spend so much time in tmux i reckon i could get used to one in gui | 14:22 |
| * m0nkey_ just uses gnome | 17:04 | |
