| ball | Hate asking this but how do I burn a CD-R from a .iso image? | 00:49 |
|---|---|---|
| daftykins | grab some prog like brasero or some jazz, should be something built-in with whatever base OS you went with | 00:50 |
| ball | daftykins: I have Ubuntu. | 00:51 |
| daftykins | just the context menu should offer something even? i.e. right click on the file | 00:51 |
| ball | (on the machine I'll be using to burn the disc). | 00:51 |
| ball | Hmm... I wonder whether it can erase a CD-R/W. | 00:51 |
| ball | Oh hey, I have Brasero installed!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 00:52 |
| ball | Sorry, this keyboard stutters. | 00:53 |
| daftykins | i thought you were just that happy! | 00:53 |
| ball | I'm happy but I'd be even happier if I had that Ducky One 2 Skyline that's on my wish-list. | 00:54 |
| ball | I honestly can't remember the last time I had to burn a CD. | 00:54 |
| daftykins | i've done a few :D | 00:56 |
| daftykins | i was preparing some drivers for a win98 Pentium III at one point | 00:56 |
| ball | Pretty sad that the OS I'm installing won't even boot on any of my computers. | 00:59 |
| ball | Still, this might do, temporarily. | 00:59 |
| daftykins | which? | 00:59 |
| ball | NetBSD/amd64. They "modernised" the USB install image I think. | 01:00 |
| ball | The .iso is 466 MB so it still fits on a CD (though not the 8cm CD I used to install from) | 01:03 |
| daftykins | teeny-tiny | 01:11 |
| ball | Well, it's installing... | 01:17 |
| ball | I like Brasero, too. | 01:17 |
| daftykins | \o/ | 01:18 |
| daftykins | time for bed i think, ttfn \o | 01:19 |
| ball | Sleep well! | 01:48 |
| daftykins | mornin' gang | 10:30 |
| daftykins | ooh a shiny new laptop has arrived on my doorstep, awaiting prep and shipping off to a client employee | 10:30 |
| zxmpi_ | shiny new or shiny new to you? :-P | 11:03 |
| daftykins | well, i buy from the Dell Outlet for my pal's biz, so 'new' | 11:03 |
| daftykins | :D | 11:03 |
| daftykins | 11th gen intel though, pretty up to date | 11:04 |
| zxmpi_ | but if you saw an osborne-1 you'd grab it, right? :-P | 11:04 |
| * daftykins looks around his junk-filled home office | 11:06 | |
| daftykins | err... | 11:06 |
| daftykins | it's already quite dangerous, my folks have uncovered my last remaining CRT at their house | 11:06 |
| zxmpi_ | it's for sentimental reasons! the cats need it to sleep on :-P | 11:08 |
| daftykins | might be kinda fun to see one again... but i don't fancy storing one | 11:09 |
| zxmpi_ | i've seen people lamenting recently in other channels about throwing out a skip of vt100 terminals to the point they're cruising ebay to get 1 | 11:13 |
| daftykins | heh | 11:13 |
| zxmpi_ | they are not cheap | 11:13 |
| daftykins | hrmm they're useless without a connection to a backend service though, no? | 11:15 |
| daftykins | i suppose that's yet another job for a Pi | 11:16 |
| zxmpi_ | suggeste getting a vt100 board abd build a clone and fill it with storage and use the pi pdp as monitor top toy/server :-P https://www.clivemaxfield.com/mega-cool-vt100-emulator-on-a-chip/ | 11:18 |
| zxmpi_ | facebook and whatsapp are down | 16:16 |
| zxmpi_ | they'll be flooding into irc soon :-P | 16:17 |
| daftykins | already seen questions popping up elsewhere | 16:17 |
| zxmpi_ | https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28748203 | 16:18 |
| m0nkey_ | ^^ and nothing of value was lost | 17:16 |
| daftykins | agreed | 17:17 |
| daftykins | the people rejoiced! | 17:17 |
| diddledani | https://twitter.com/secparam/status/1445073438918463493 | 19:56 |
| daftykins | :) | 20:00 |
| m0nkey_ | Sorry, my bad. I shouldn't have uninstalled Instagram from my phone this morning. | 20:01 |
| m0nkey_ | srsly.. I deleted it from my phone only minutes before it went down lol | 20:02 |
| diddledani | story goes that they can't access the servers/routers to fix the BGP because they're behind locked doors that can't access the corporate LDAP because their BGP is dead | 20:02 |
| m0nkey_ | If it's not DNS, it's BGP. | 20:03 |
| diddledani | in this instance, it's BGP causing DNS to die ;-p | 20:03 |
| m0nkey_ | But it's incredible that it happened just as a data leak was published | 20:03 |
| diddledani | https://twitter.com/0xabad1dea/status/1445119021565755393 | 20:10 |
| m0nkey_ | Apparently Gmail is now having problems | 20:12 |
| diddledani | everyone is resorting to email instead of facebook? | 20:13 |
| m0nkey_ | Good news, https://myspace.com/ is still up. | 20:13 |
| diddledani | is that good news? | 20:13 |
| daftykins | phew, well so long as i can tell Tom about my day | 20:13 |
| diddledani | https://twitter.com/bcrypt/status/1445125492957347845 | 20:36 |
| diddledani | twitter is comedy gold | 20:36 |
| * daftykins routes around the jokes | 20:37 | |
| m0nkey_ | RIP | 20:40 |
| m0nkey_ | Buhahaha! Reports of FB staff unable to get into FB campus because their smart cards aren't working because of the outage. | 21:26 |
| daftykins | yeah that's already been in a link above essentially | 21:26 |
| daftykins | though pastes of the one-liners is more efficient than twitter links ;) *cough* | 21:27 |
| m0nkey_ | And FB stock has lost $7B today | 21:28 |
| daftykins | \o/ | 21:28 |
| zxmpi_ | gmail is having problems as people are all sending password resets for myspace :-P | 21:28 |
| zxmpi_ | fb stock is down over the whistleblower leaks rather than the outage... probably | 21:29 |
| m0nkey_ | lol, apparently my Surface Pro doesn't meet the requirements for Windows 11 | 23:29 |
| m0nkey_ | haha.. my CPU is not supported.. i7-7300U | 23:30 |
| daftykins | RIP | 23:37 |
| daftykins | yep my 2015 build skylake i7-6700 is ruled out also, allegedly | 23:38 |
| daftykins | feel like manual installs will be fine though (not that i'm in a hurry) | 23:38 |
| zxmpi_ | psssst, wanna buy a copy of os/2? :-P | 23:39 |
| m0nkey_ | I can do a manual install on a Surface Pro, but it doesn't install all the Surface drivers/apps. | 23:48 |
| daftykins | i'm not convinced you'd be lacking much | 23:49 |
| m0nkey_ | I did a clean install of 10 before, there were small things that didn't work properly which were kinda annoying | 23:50 |
| daftykins | but 10 grabs all drivers via Windows Update, you just have to pop it online and let it slurp all the things | 23:50 |
| m0nkey_ | Otherwise I just put Ubuntu on it. There's a kernel patch up on github to make the touch screen work and everything. | 23:50 |
| m0nkey_ | Drivers, yes. But things like the pen doesn't work correctly. | 23:51 |
| m0nkey_ | You lose half the sensitivity of the pen pressure | 23:51 |
| daftykins | o0 | 23:51 |
| daftykins | that doesn't make an awful lot of sense, but eh, gimmicky tat anyway - not fond of MS devices at all | 23:52 |
| m0nkey_ | Probably time for a new laptop | 23:52 |
| m0nkey_ | Maybe one of them Framework laptops | 23:52 |
| daftykins | whoa you're gonna have to stop shaving your neck if you keep going on like this :D | 23:55 |
