[00:41]  * daftykins raises a jaffa cake tube for his fallen kitty
[00:46] <penguin42> was it chocolate and marmalade kitty?
[00:46] <daftykins> haha
[00:48] <daftykins> let me share some snaps

[00:50] <ball> I miss jaffa cakes.
[00:50] <penguin42>  'This post may contain erotic or adult imagery'
[00:51] <ball> Is the LTS likely to work better than 23.04?
[00:51] <daftykins> would much rather hear what's actually going on with the system than make leaps of judgement
[00:51] <daftykins> penguin42: i promise there is just a cute kitty!
[00:51] <ball> daftykins: That's fair.
[00:51] <daftykins> in fact the "Mature" checkbox is clear
[00:52] <daftykins> (didn't even know that was an imgur thing)
[00:52] <penguin42> daftykins: those eyebrows say that's a cat that's seen a lot
[00:53] <daftykins> the bestest girl!
[00:54] <daftykins> ball: what are the spare parts? if it's truly trashtastic then maybe older kernels will help but *shrug* gotta know what it's really up to
[00:54] <daftykins> those kernels'll boot, but they'll silently scream into logs!
[00:55] <ball> Lubuntu seems happy enough on it.  AMD Phenom II X4 925, AM2+ mainboard (would work better in an AM3 board but I don't want to buy one), two 2GB DDR2 DIMMs.
[00:57] <daftykins> i just scrubbed up an Acer craptop with an Athlon II P340 in it for a neighbour, heh
[00:57] <ball> I don't know the P340.  I should look that up.
[00:57] <daftykins> 25W lemon basically
[01:05] <ball> Not hideous but a bit light on cache, that.
[01:06] <daftykins> fine calculator
[01:15] <davef> did somebody say jaffa cakes?
[01:16] <daftykins> too slow, empty cellophane is all that remains!
[01:20] <davef> ... soon
[01:20] <davef> 28 days
[01:25] <daftykins> again!? :)

[02:07] <ball> I'm going to have to put a graphics card in this poor old thing.
[02:15] <ball> Oh wait, if I drop the detail to minimal it works. :-)
[02:17] <daftykins> yeah slap a card in :P
[02:19] <ball> daftykins: He inherited this brand new ATX mid-tower case from his late uncle.  I don't know whether the uncle had been planning to build someone else a machine in it or if he was thinking of downsizing from the bonkers full-tower that he had but I also have an old GTX-1060 card and some more modest graphics cards that could probably go in there.
[02:20] <ball> The GTX-1060 card is from the bonkers machine.
[02:20] <ball> *technical term
[02:20] <daftykins> :D
[02:20] <daftykins> how old is the kid?
[02:20] <ball> Seven
[02:22] <daftykins> ah, lucky youngsters
[02:22] <daftykins> i should find time to try out the voodoo2 that the pal on my pool team gave me, fully boxed with all included games - what a score
[02:22] <ball> I remember those!
[03:21] <davef> heh, so it turns out i'm now famous. i can be found on IMDB :)
[03:26] <daftykins> :O
