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