07:25:54 PMDooley_da_Vulcan was there today, liked and posted http://www.category5.tv/ in the Ubuntu Mate chat forum
07:26:41 PMGoodGuy98 Ubuntu MATE 16.04 installed easily and so far it runs great
07:27:20 PMGoodGuy98 I had a few issues with 15.10 and less with 14.04
07:27:55 PMDooley_da_Vulcan I have had just one issue so far with the 16.04 version
07:28:10 PMElroy we tried to get them to name it Ubuntu 16.04 Wild Wimpy in honor of the creator, but Canonical had a different name in mind.
07:30:06 PMGoodGuy98 So far none with 16.0416.10 is Yakkity Yak iirc.. close to that
07:30:20 PMGoodGuy98 16.10
07:31:03 PMGoodGuy98 First OFFICIAL LTS
07:31:32 PMGoodGuy98 They did a 14.04 LTS, but was not official according to Ubuntu
07:31:33 PMElroy LOL that really is the proposed name.
07:32:13 PMGoodGuy98 Yakkety Yak
07:32:21 PMDooley_da_Vulcan dont talk back
07:32:36 PMGoodGuy98 That is the correct spelling I saved from an article
07:32:59 PMlichenx1 RobbieF, KelseyJ, I'm glad that I won but I don't have anything ethernet, you should draw again for another name!
07:33:09 PMElroy proposed names: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DevelopmentCodeNames
07:33:12 PMsr_wences My Dell XPS 13 is super -pretty. I got it off CraigsList for $300 and it has a 1080p screen and an i7.
07:33:20 PMElroy I like the proposal Yumping Yemeni
07:33:22 PMsr_wences But the battery life is pretty harsh.
07:33:40 PMGoodGuy98 Maybe donate it for an auction lichenx1 ... donate w/o any cost to you
07:33:42 PMsr_wences Get a NUC and mount it behind a pretty monitor.
07:33:56 PMsr_wences Jeff, watch out for Zombies!
07:34:08 PMRobbieF ha
07:34:14 PMRobbieF hope you're all having fun!!!
07:34:45 PMRobbieF lichenx1 you can choose to gift it to another viewer if you like.
07:34:49 PMElroy Hey on the cruise ship u could combine drone racing and skeet shooting. Pull !
07:34:55 PMRobbieF or receive the prize and pay it forward however you like
07:35:30 PMGoodGuy98 US Military is working on that for real Elroy
07:35:37 PMlichenx1 just pick another name, unless it's wifi I can't use it at the moment, don't want it going to waste
07:35:51 PMRobbieF Your call lichenx1
07:35:55 PMGoodGuy98 Even making bird like drones to grab other drones
07:36:06 PMElroy GoodGuy98 I can just imagine.
07:36:16 PMDooley_da_Vulcan drone skeet shooting
07:36:31 PMGoodGuy98 I thought Jeff was kidding.. looks real
07:36:39 PMDooley_da_Vulcan and the operator tries to dive or climb in time to escape
07:37:01 PMGoodGuy98 Knocking done drones is becoming critical for militaries
07:37:47 PMElroy Batman's net gun might work
07:37:49 PMDooley_da_Vulcan anyone use Sysinfo before and after update to the new version of UM?
07:38:01 PMGoodGuy98 Anyone see that Opera Developer has a free VPN
07:38:01 PMDennis_Kelley Its a little Windy Jeff!
07:38:41 PMElroy yes, havent tried it yet but looks pretty cool.
07:38:44 PMDooley_da_Vulcan after the update it exits out if I click on system. it was fine before the update.
07:39:00 PMGoodGuy98 I tried it this afternoon.. worked good
07:39:17 PMGoodGuy98 I needed an exit point in Canada and they had it
07:39:31 PMGoodGuy98 USA and a 3rd country iirc
07:39:39 PMElroy can u start and stop VPN and switch endpoints on the fly?
07:39:46 PMGoodGuy98 Yes
07:39:50 PMElroy very cool
07:40:18 PMGoodGuy98 Just three choices I believe.. I started with USA and switched to Canada
07:40:43 PMGoodGuy98 Not sure what the third choice is
07:41:43 PMGoodGuy98 http://osxdaily.com/2016/04/23/use-free-vpn-opera-browser/
07:41:46 PMsr_wences ESPN is counting on betting to make this work.
07:41:58 PMGoodGuy98 That web page covered it pretty well
07:44:11 PMElroy jealous, wants to be in Caribbean
07:44:32 PMNelson1 Robbie, love your shirt
07:44:46 PMDooley_da_Vulcan He really looks bored sitting there on that boat......
07:44:49 PMElroy Jeff got to cruise the Caribbean and all u will get is a dumb T-shirt LOL
07:45:00 PMGoodGuy98 Germany is the third country with more coming
07:45:32 PMElroy that Opera VPN looks excellent
07:45:40 PMGoodGuy98 It was really snappy on my Q6600
07:46:03 PMGoodGuy98 I was impressed with what I saw so far Elroy
07:46:54 PMGoodGuy98 I wanted to view a Canadian cooking show Best Recipes Ever... It allowed that to work, so I was a hapy camper
07:46:57 PMGoodGuy98 happy
07:47:23 PMGoodGuy98 It only works with Opera, so it cant be used in other software
07:48:00 PMGoodGuy98 Still very helpful and Opera says more great features are coming soon
07:48:46 PMDooley_da_Vulcan so is opera building vpn into the browser?
07:49:12 PMElroy yes, seems like it. or else it is a plugin that they autoload.
07:49:14 PMGoodGuy98 Yes Dooley_da_Vulcan
07:49:19 PMDooley_da_Vulcan cool
07:49:33 PMGoodGuy98 It was built-in.. no plugin needed
07:49:38 PMElroy very nice
07:49:52 PMGoodGuy98 I did a WhatsMyIP before and after
07:50:13 PMGoodGuy98 It has a switch in the URL bar to turn off and on at will
07:50:32 PMElroy wonder if Vivaldi will follow suit with VPN too?
07:50:38 PMGoodGuy98 The web page I posted has screen shots
07:50:55 PMDooley_da_Vulcan I have had to download opera and use it to go to antivirus website after a window machine got hammered by viruses and hijacked all browsers. would not let access to a antivirus web page at all. but it is like they did not know about opera.
07:51:04 PMGoodGuy98 Within two days Opera added way more server capacity
07:51:49 PMElroy Robbie is so happy to be able to destroy Windows and overwrite with Linux. Doing a public service. LOL
07:52:11 PMGoodGuy98 http://www.opera.com/blogs/news/2016/04/opera-doubling-server-capacity-vpn/
07:53:14 PMDooley_da_Vulcan so do you figure torrent users are the big users.......
07:53:53 PMDooley_da_Vulcan just anything to get rid of windows hmmm RobbieF lol
07:54:16 PMGoodGuy98 It only works within the web browser, so I doubt it
07:54:22 PMsr_wences My daughter is using Ubuntu Mate on an old Dell laptop from 2006. Ogtgher than a slow boot to a browser, it runs better than her school assigned mac laptop!
07:54:23 PMElroy I wonder if Netflix users will be able to use it - they are supposed to be cracking down on VPN and proxy access to get around geo-restrictions.
07:54:38 PMnapa_polarbear hi all ?
07:54:52 PMsr_wences USSEnterprise
07:54:57 PMGoodGuy98 That server page I posted covers how it works at the bottom of the article
07:54:58 PMElroy hi polarbear
07:55:26 PMElroy but we are looking over her shoulder as she types
07:55:31 PMDooley_da_Vulcan I will check it out for sure, I love BBS TV
07:55:36 PMElroy whoo haa haa haa, wringing hands
07:55:36 PMDooley_da_Vulcan ITV
07:55:53 PMGoodGuy98 I ran the Developer version on Windows.... Not sure if they have the same for Linux
07:56:11 PMElroy think I saw in the article that it will SOON be available for Linux
07:56:13 PMElroy not yet
07:56:34 PMGoodGuy98 Currently it only has exit points in the USA, Canada and Germany
07:56:46 PMDooley_da_Vulcan all that work for the password and then set it to automatically log in......
07:57:13 PMElroy hopefully soon means sooner than later
07:57:18 PMElroy or something like that
07:57:28 PMGoodGuy98 They are still working on it
07:57:31 PMsr_wences WIndows Vista Basic. LOL! that must have been a cheap a$$ computer when new.
07:58:27 PMGoodGuy98 http://www.opera.com/developer
07:58:52 PMsr_wences On my more powerful PCs, I run Linux Mint Cinnamon. Nd on the older PCs I use Ubunti Mate.
07:58:56 PMGoodGuy98 I opened that on Linux and it said Free for Linux, so maybe it is available
07:59:02 PMsr_wences I love Mate for reviving old laptops.
07:59:14 PMOO-OO-Oo-Oo-oo-O I heard 438 approx. in 2013
07:59:28 PMGoodGuy98 Darn... just started to download a AMD64 DEB
08:00:06 PMGoodGuy98 so they do have it for Linux.... assume that has the VPN.. maybe it is an older version for Linux
08:00:40 PMElroy maybe it is the regular version, not developer? think developer version is needed for VPN
08:01:33 PMGoodGuy98 I downloaded from the DEV URL
08:01:51 PMGoodGuy98 http://www.opera.com/developer
08:02:06 PMGoodGuy98 Did it on Mint 17.3 64-bit
08:02:22 PMsr_wences Mint is based on 14.04 Ubuntu.
08:02:36 PMsr_wences They will update it soon to 16.04 for version 18
08:02:37 PMGoodGuy98 opera-developer_38.0.2205.0_amd64.deb
08:02:37 PMElroy what was the other big new thing in Developer version? I was thinking there was some other reason I was going to try developer even before the VPN news.
08:02:50 PMGoodGuy98 That is the DEB I D/L'ed
08:03:13 PMGoodGuy98 Ad Blocker they said
08:03:21 PMElroy and Windows XP had to install some updates, reboot, restart updates, etc. for hours and hours before everything was done
08:03:23 PMGoodGuy98 Must be w/o a plugin
08:03:25 PMOO-OO-Oo-Oo-oo-O I did not me to log in as OO-OO-Oo-Oo-oo-Oo-oo-oO I was googling a song earlier.
08:03:32 PMDooley_da_Vulcan where is the control to enable the VPN on opera
08:03:32 PMsr_wences RobbieF favorite are: Linux Mint Cinnamon, Ubuntu Mate, Gnome Ubuntu.
08:03:42 PMElroy GoodGuy98, yes builtin adblock. that was it.
08:03:52 PMElroy and of course mouse gestures
08:04:00 PMGoodGuy98 same here sr_wences .. minus the Gnome one
08:04:19 PMsr_wences Elroy - I hated installing WIndow. I agree, the update reboot dance was interminable!
08:04:25 PMGoodGuy98 Mouse Gestures have been there for awhile
08:04:30 PMElroy OO-OO-Oo-Oo-oo-Oo-oo-oO we thought u were a ghost trying to scare us
08:05:03 PMOO-OO-Oo-Oo-oo-O The song is haunting me
08:05:16 PMGoodGuy98 I saw Voice mentioned in the past also
08:05:27 PMElroy yes, thats what Opera has always been known for. I hate having to search for extensions on other browsers to do mouse gestures.
08:05:37 PMDooley_da_Vulcan I went from minutes bootup to 12-14 seconds bootup time
08:06:05 PMGoodGuy98 I saw an Opera extension to allow using Chrome extensions.. didnt look at it though
08:07:03 PMElroy and it will be faster the next time after the first load of the program.
08:07:36 PMOO-OO-Oo-Oo-oo-O The ghost of vista past
08:08:25 PMGoodGuy98 I used to be a mainframe systems programmer... I wrote some fancy assembler code to speed up the system.. We ran a large transaction that ran over 5 mins... second time took 1-2 secs.. I was told memory was faster than disk access.. Never understood how much faster
08:08:34 PMRobbieF thanks everyone!
08:08:46 PMKelseyJ Thanks everyone!
08:08:52 PMElroy thanks. fun stuff
08:08:54 PMDooley_da_Vulcan good night to RobbieF and KelseyJ Great show
08:08:57 PMGoodGuy98 The guy I was testing it with thought he forgot to press the Enter key to run it again lol
08:08:57 PMsr_wences Bye Robbie and Kelsey!
08:09:01 PMsr_wences Bye everyone!
08:09:15 PMlichenx1 RobbieF, not sure where I'm supposed to send the address
08:09:28 PMfking Good night all.
08:09:36 PMTerminator Good Nyt
08:10:15 PMGoodGuy98 I wrote that code just playing around in my spare time trying to learn something... Later I saw a perfect application to use it in
08:10:24 PMGuest_7334 Enjoyed the show. Have a great week. See you next week same time same station.
08:11:02 PMGoodGuy98 saved about a million dollars when they were able to put off buying new mainframes for a couple years
08:11:20 PMGuest_7334 Good job Kelsey and RobbieF.
08:11:29 PMElroy memory is always faster than looking it up. no wonder old people dial phones so slowly. 8-)
08:11:39 PMGoodGuy98 true Elroy :-)
08:12:06 PMElroy u should have told them to bonus you the money they were going to spend on mainframes
08:12:44 PMGoodGuy98 Mainframes have special hardware assisted features to move pages in amd out of system memory
08:15:45 PMGoodGuy98 Actually the powers that be never said Thank You... But that is why they kept us on the payroll.. My attitude was attaboy/girls are cheap
08:23:51 PMGoodGuy98 Real pressure must be working as a computer specialist in North Korea... Telling Dear Leader something will take longer than expected
08:24:43 PMGoodGuy98 Bet they hear "Next Man Up" more than any NFL football player
08:25:38 PMGoodGuy98 Only one with job security is working in an ammunition factory!
08:29:57 PMGuest_8909 Is there a live show that is streamed.?
