[07:21] <knightwise> hey everyone
[07:48] <zxmpi> o/
[07:50] <knightwise> hey zxmpi 
[07:51] <knightwise> installed my Pi 4 again this week
[07:52] <zxmpi> i must find a pi 4 at some point. i keep promising to make an 8gb my main system
[07:56] <knightwise> do you run an desktop on that pi ? 
[08:00] <zxmpi> nah my main pi at the mo is an original rasp pi b with 512mb ram which i use for irc and rss and access via ssh.
[08:01] <knightwise> what rss client do you use ? 
[08:06] <zxmpi> irssi have tried 1-2 others way back when i first got pi but irssi is one i have stuck with
[12:39] <davef> I guess the Pi's got hit by the shortage? I've not seen one in stock for a month now.
[13:04] <zxmpi> yeah. and some of the shortages have year long delays for some parts. 
[13:14] <davef> we appear to have a snowstorm going on over here. expecting 40cm snow in the city today.
[13:23] <zxmpi> 9c. irish winter. will depend on humidity and wind as to if it's cold or not outside
[13:51] <root____> hmm.. dietpi is a great headless distro zxmpi 
[13:51] <root____> you can config quite a lot just using the wizzards and it "just works"
[13:58] <zxmpi> i originally years ago set up current pi so i could rdp/vnc into it. but haven't used that in years
[13:58] <zxmpi> i'd run full fat raspian on a new pi 4 8g if i had one. they are great little systems
[14:02] <knightwise> i hardly use te graphical interface
[14:03] <zxmpi> i could reset up current pi and remove a tonne of stuff i have installed over the years. but it just keeps working ok
[14:59] <davef> Outch...
[14:59] <davef> kernel: Out of memory: Kill process 43399 (named) score 10 or sacrifice child
[15:00] <davef> That was out right murder by the kernel. There was no children to sacrifice. 
[15:43] <daftykins> hey gang
[15:43] <zxmpi> o/
[15:47] <daftykins> hmm that old classic, client tells you some gear has arrived and ready to go, attend to do the job... gear is nowhere to be found (new brushed network point wall faceplates)
[15:47] <daftykins> call up the electrician, nope... not arrived yet
[16:51] <knightwise> howdyhowdy
[16:52] <daftykins> \o
[16:55] <knightwise> \O
[16:58] <daftykins> looks like we survived Monday, phew
[17:02] <zxmpi> monday isn't over till the last bong of midnight
[17:04] <daftykins> hehe, but it's after 5 and that's a good thing!
[17:08] <zxmpi> this is when customers ring looking for a part immediately that you can't get your hands on till tomorrow
[17:09] <daftykins> thankfully being an island nobody is used to really sourcing much quickly :D
[17:10] <zxmpi> ireland is an island and we still had people stunned to find we didn't have a brand new laser jet just sitting around waiting for them
[17:10] <davef> Monday ain't over yet.
[17:11] <daftykins> ah yes woe be thee in another timezone
[17:12] <zxmpi> i wonder how long a flight going west has stayed in monday? :-P
[17:13] <daftykins> oh to be wealthy enough to achieve a perpetual Sunday
[17:14] <zxmpi> god no. the long dark teatime of the soul...
[17:14] <zxmpi> friday evening with the whole weekend ahead
[17:16] <daftykins> :)
