6:58:16 PMRobbieF internet just went down for 30 seconds :/
6:58:17 PMRobbieF up now
6:58:50 PMSolbu The internet? ;-)
6:59:02 PMSolbu I'm prety sure the internet ws just fine. ;-)
6:59:23 PMDooley_da_Vulcan Hello all
6:59:35 PMDooley_da_Vulcan is the feed live yet?
7:00:04 PMSolbu RobbieF: Nice. you actually pronounced my nick correctly. It's my last name. :-)
7:00:06 PMTheFu Hey Ya'll
7:00:43 PMsparklyballs the face and the voice looked incongruous though HenryBB
7:01:00 PMnapa_polarbear HI All
7:01:18 PMDooley_da_Vulcan on a diff system. what do I need to fulfil flash requirements?
7:01:27 PMDooley_da_Vulcan ubuntu mate 16.04
7:01:34 PMDooley_da_Vulcan I do not remember
7:01:35 PMnapa_polarbear Pi
7:01:51 PMDooley_da_Vulcan I know flash has security issues
7:02:12 PMsparklyballs if i left now i'd probably get there for stretch day
7:02:53 PMBobK54 I was in Ottawa two weeks ago. I'll be back in another 2 weeks. If they let me in....
7:05:01 PMsparklyballs most def my computers use the most juice
7:05:03 PMnapa_polarbear have you chk out the chip,its linux
7:05:57 PMalpeck what spring...they are calling for the mid 30's this weekend
7:05:59 PMSolbu I allways unplug my TV-set, microwave and coffee machines.
7:06:22 PMDooley_da_Vulcan got it, I used installed pepper flash
7:06:27 PMDooley_da_Vulcan is it ok?
7:06:44 PMalpeck that's 30C
7:06:59 PMMik3_0 Anything that generates heat.
7:07:51 PMDooley_da_Vulcan anytime you have something that uses power and creates heat you are paying to make the heat. Regardless if it is the purpose of the product.
7:08:22 PMMik3_0 eys
7:08:25 PMTheFu 95degF here today.
7:09:38 PMsparklyballs 240 volts or go home
7:09:42 PMDooley_da_Vulcan This is why I tell people that 240v equipment is better than 120v. 120v you are paying to run current to ground. but with 240v you usually are not. Like 120v vs 240v lighting or heating equipment.
7:10:06 PMalpeck I just turned my furnace off a couple of weeks ago and almost needed it again yesterday...then this weekend will definitely have to turn the air conditioning on
7:10:27 PMalpeck where did the spring go
7:10:57 PMTheFu Many UPSes have built-in W-meters.
7:11:35 PMDooley_da_Vulcan an electric heater works by shorting out the 120v line to ground with an element in between. VS a 240v heater you arae shorting 2 120v lines out through the element itself. Thus most power is being used to create the heat vs paying to short out a 120v line to ground.
7:12:43 PMTheFu Govt? Power?
7:12:45 PMTheFu Huh?
7:12:53 PMalpeck sorry Dooley_da_Vulcan but not sure what you are trying to say
7:13:18 PMTheFu In Canada, they get power from the Govt, not the power company?
7:13:21 PMTheFu Eh?
7:13:35 PMTheFu 0.18 canadian?
7:13:58 PMSashaD2 The power company is owned by the government... I think
7:14:31 PMorangeman Robbie I pay 15p per khw
7:14:32 PMalpeck that is right TheFu i believe peak demand power is sold at $0.18 per kWh
7:14:38 PMsparklyballs as long as you're in a 100 subunits to a currency unit area the actual currency is irrelevant
7:14:42 PMalpeck in Ontario
7:15:20 PMDooley_da_Vulcan price of running 120v equipment vs a 240v piece of equipment. like heaters. with a 120 you have 1 hot line and a neutral that you short the 120v line to and some of the power is used to make the heat and most of the rest is shorted to ground. whereas with a 240v is 2 120 lines shorting out through the element so not paying to shour out power to gro
7:15:21 PMDooley_da_Vulcan und
7:15:24 PMsparklyballs there are still some places around though where aren't 100 subunits to a currency unit
7:15:28 PMDooley_da_Vulcan shour short
7:15:28 PMalpeck it varies widely between provinces
7:15:37 PMTheFu Depends if the fridge was running to cool it or not.
7:15:53 PMorangeman Robbie I can read value off my power meter the mult 0.15 this will results in pounds
7:16:12 PMDooley_da_Vulcan I wish that herre in the US we were using mostly 240v
7:16:39 PMorangeman 110 v does kill not real mains power
7:16:49 PMTheFu We are - well - into the house anyway and for very large electric appliances.
7:16:57 PMDooley_da_Vulcan what orangeman?
7:17:26 PMTheFu 36 cores!
7:17:46 PMTheFu Chromebook - less than 18W.
7:17:58 PMalpeck current does not flow thru ground Dooley_da_Vulcan but thru neutral as you said
7:18:10 PMsparklyballs my unraid has 22 hard drives in it, lol.
7:18:14 PMorangeman when I work I was woking with power supply s run 1000 -3000 v and it supply lot current and did kill you
7:19:17 PMDooley_da_Vulcan it phases to the neutral and to heat an element it phases from positive to negative through the neutral to ground. Your neutral is truly ground. they hook to the same bus
7:20:04 PMTheFu $600+ /yr
7:20:11 PMalpeck true but ground is for protection and no actual current normally flows thru it
7:20:30 PMDooley_da_Vulcan unless you are in a sub panel, but it does end up on the same bus in the main panel/
7:20:32 PMalpeck if it does you have a problem
7:21:01 PMsparklyballs 24 / 8.5 will give you how many 8.5 in 24 then times that by .71 to give you daily rate
7:21:47 PMTheFu $2/day x 365 ...
7:22:27 PMDooley_da_Vulcan correct, or shouldn't and your neutral is carrying away the unbalanced load or unused power of the circuit. so with say the 120v light, a given amount of power is used to light the bulb and the rest is going to ground through the neutral. which is not what you do with 240v light.
7:22:34 PMTheFu But you can surf REALLY fast!
7:23:40 PMsparklyballs i have double figure computers and it's just me HenryBB lol.
7:23:45 PMDooley_da_Vulcan that is what kills me when people say THERE IS NO POWER ON THE WHITE WIRE. its carrying away whatever power is not being used to do the work required
7:25:24 PMSolbu RobbieF: I have 5 computers running, and I live alone. They consume about 500 watts total, when idle.
7:25:25 PMDooley_da_Vulcan That is why you can get bit when touching the white wire and ground. If you are a more direct path to ground than the neutral line is and you happen to be part of the path well you are getting bit. lol
7:25:53 PMTheFu What is a "computer" for counting purposes?
7:26:14 PMDooley_da_Vulcan 500 watts while idle, can get real pricey if you started doing video processing on them all at once
7:26:17 PMTheFu Does the fact that I have to ask say something?
7:26:41 PMalpeck Dooley_da_Vulcan: the only inefficiency of an unbalanced load is you can not pull full power since conductors are sized for a specific amperage. i.e. 100amp at 120v is 12kW will the same current pulled on a balanced load is still 100amps but at 240v meaning 24kW
7:26:55 PMABQTKY Woops!!
7:26:57 PMTheFu Down-Watt your CPUs! It is amazing what they can get into 65W these days.
7:26:59 PMDooley_da_Vulcan what happened?
7:27:04 PMTheFu feed gone!
7:27:06 PMalpeck ^while
7:27:07 PMDooley_da_Vulcan I thought it was my current setup
7:27:17 PMsparklyballs they decided it was using too much juice and cut the live feed
7:27:28 PMTheFu I'm on a kodi stream ...
7:27:29 PMSolbu It's robbie unplugging the servers, to save electricity. -)
7:27:29 PMDooley_da_Vulcan hmmmm but when they leave chat and video halts all at once....not me
7:27:35 PMalpeck feed gone here as well
7:27:45 PMDooley_da_Vulcan TheFu did they leave for you also
7:27:56 PMGPOP7 Here too.
7:28:00 PMTheFu 7:27:05

7:28:34 PMalpeck haha Dooley_da_Vulcan
7:28:40 PMalpeck she sure did
7:28:46 PMsparklyballs i've got several pi's and other arm boards, a laptop , an imac , two mac minis , two n54l's and my unraid server
7:28:47 PMRobbieF we back?
7:28:48 PMTheFu Got an offer from the power company yesterday to "level the bill" - $79/month.
7:28:51 PMTheFu YEp.
7:28:55 PMRobbieF yay
7:29:03 PMDooley_da_Vulcan RobbieF what happened
7:29:17 PMalpeck their back
7:29:21 PMDooley_da_Vulcan Yeah SashaD2 it said you left and rejoined
7:29:22 PMnapa_polarbear here
7:29:32 PMTheFu Actually, Sasha - you did leave at 7:28:12.
7:29:33 PMSolbu RobbieF: You're not supposed to shut of the servers during the live show. ;-)
7:30:14 PMDooley_da_Vulcan I am actually watching the show on dual monitors, so I do not have to do split screen
7:30:17 PMTheFu stuttering ...
7:30:34 PMSolbu ;-)
7:30:39 PMTheFu Yep. Don't have a real server at home.
7:31:09 PMDooley_da_Vulcan only server I have is my Plex Server, which is my main pc also
7:31:23 PMTheFu video froze, but audio is skipping ...
7:31:29 PMDooley_da_Vulcan for about a week or so
7:32:10 PMnapa_polarbear need pass port 2 get home
7:32:24 PMTheFu Have 3 "servers", but a few r-pis and laptop and chromebook. All doing stuff 24/7/365
7:32:32 PMTheFu The servers run 10 VMs each.
7:32:46 PMDooley_da_Vulcan WOW
7:32:48 PMTheFu They are 5 yr old desktops, not real servers.
7:32:50 PMnapa_polarbear chk out the chil
7:32:57 PMDooley_da_Vulcan anything public
7:33:01 PMTheFu Sure.
7:33:12 PMnapa_polarbear chk out the chip
7:33:48 PMnapa_polarbear it`s linux
7:34:54 PMDooley_da_Vulcan lets see......MS is seeing that people are running from WIN10 and thus they cannot watch your searches, so they say they will pay you to use BING
7:34:55 PMABQTKY Repeat woops??!!
7:35:15 PMTheFu Windows? Bing?
7:35:34 PMrobgor first time I get to watch the show live and the stream goes off air :(

7:39:33 PMSolbu The year of Linux on the ATMs…
7:39:36 PMTheFu SouthEast Linux Fest starts tomorrow in CHT.
7:40:15 PMsparklyballs woz said companies like apple google and amazon are too big to innovate
7:40:19 PMTheFu But getting anything repaired today is still a mystery to Apple customers.
7:40:56 PMTheFu Just try to get a cracked macbook screen fixed while you wait.
7:41:38 PMDooley_da_Vulcan Where is the SE LinuxFest going on at?
7:41:42 PMTheFu CHT
7:41:51 PMsparklyballs DONT SAY ALEXA RobbieF

7:42:46 PMTheFu Raod Trip!
7:42:51 PMTheFu You can do it!
7:42:55 PMBobK54 at one time there was Indiana Linux Fest. it died though
7:42:55 PMalpeck gravitational lens has been seen a lot but measuring the amount I don't know
7:43:18 PMDooley_da_Vulcan its called a genius being proved right again
7:43:20 PMrobgor anyone here use wordpress?
7:43:34 PMalpeck cool
7:43:35 PMTheFu On of my sites runs it, but I'm not admin.
7:43:37 PMDooley_da_Vulcan of course
7:43:44 PMTheFu And don't want to be.
7:43:46 PMSolbu I use pelican.
7:43:50 PMrobgor thanks robbie
7:43:51 PMsparklyballs einstein got some stuff wrong though too
7:43:55 PMTheFu Clap. Clap.
7:44:01 PMrobgor thanks robbief
7:44:14 PMDooley_da_Vulcan of course, if he never got anything wrong he wasn't trying hard enough
7:44:28 PMDooley_da_Vulcan the more trys the more fails
7:44:48 PMTheFu Married a 1st cousin. Isn't that "wrong?"
7:45:07 PMDooley_da_Vulcan depends, was it blood related
7:45:10 PMalpeck definitely TheFu
7:45:19 PMsparklyballs depends where you are TheFu
7:45:31 PMalpeck did see that on sparklyballs
7:45:40 PMsparklyballs or if you're royalty
7:46:01 PMDooley_da_Vulcan maybe he thought she was smart and hoped to keep the genes going, but it doesn't work that way. you get an extra limb or a third eye
7:46:09 PMnapa_polarbear have u seen the 9$ chip
7:46:18 PMalpeck if not blood relative are you not considered 1st cousin
7:47:03 PMTheFu napa_polarbear: what's about the chip? which chip? huh?
7:47:14 PMDooley_da_Vulcan He does Q well
7:47:23 PMsparklyballs alexa say codjak and not kojak
7:47:25 PMDooley_da_Vulcan hahaha I guess that was bad
7:47:53 PMDooley_da_Vulcan Star Trek as read by Q
7:48:27 PMsparklyballs libresonic is a great app for streaming audiobooks to devices
7:48:38 PMnapa_polarbear nextthing.co has a 9$ computer, runs linux
7:48:44 PMBobK54 its been a while since I checked, does Audible support Linux yet?
7:49:01 PMsparklyballs booksonic even..... grrr
7:49:03 PMTSmith1 try libravox.org for somefree audio books...
7:49:13 PMTheFu Off-brand chips and MBs are hard for normal people to use.
7:49:45 PMTheFu If you want low cost and like to tinker, beagle-board is as far off the normal path as I'd like to go.
7:49:51 PMalpeck what kind of apps can you get for the chip
7:50:00 PMTheFu cough .... youtube ... .audiobooks.
7:50:40 PMTheFu BobK54: There's an android app, that's linux.
7:50:51 PMnapa_polarbear good for gameing
7:51:21 PMBobK54 TheFu - yep I thought so. I can get that on my tablet.
7:51:52 PMnapa_polarbear runs deb
7:51:57 PMrobgor RobbieF Try using ExpressVPN Iam using that on Ubuntu Linux, easy to setup
7:52:19 PMTSmith1 try libravox.org for some free audio books (public domain books)
7:52:27 PMTheFu China is hard-from the mainland.
7:52:50 PMTheFu China blocks many popular VPNs.
7:53:01 PMSolbu RobbieF: The Tor browser. It's the Firefox browser with a tor client buildt in.
7:53:18 PMalpeck does it have losts of GPIO with decent IDE to use it napa_polarbear
7:53:33 PMTheFu The best way is to have a known, private, openVPN server outside China. Not well-known.
7:54:02 PMnapa_polarbear ya it is good
7:54:08 PMSolbu The great firewall of Canada.
7:54:26 PMalpeck can i get it on amazon???
7:54:51 PMDooley_da_Vulcan napa_polarbear: that chip card has only 512 Mb of ram
7:54:55 PMTheFu alpeck: You can use a mini-EC2 instance for a vpn, if you like.
7:55:27 PMnapa_polarbear don`t know, i get it from there web site
7:56:06 PMHenryBB There are other good VPN's you can use as well, but are payware such as Avira :)
7:56:40 PMDooley_da_Vulcan that is where I am at. it has a composite video output. I guess for certain tasks it will be great at $9
7:57:17 PMnapa_polarbear not big just fun
7:57:32 PMSolbu RobbieF: Your problem is the http proxy setting. You have a socks proxy, not an http proxy..
7:57:33 PMalpeck definitely for a dedicated purpose the price is right Dooley_da_Vulcan
7:57:55 PMalpeck stream stopped again
7:58:04 PMTheFu Dropped!
7:58:05 PMnapa_polarbear they have hdmi plug in
7:58:13 PMTheFu ufw disable
7:58:14 PMDooley_da_Vulcan Sudo UFW disable
7:58:19 PMDooley_da_Vulcan lol
7:58:20 PMTheFu ufw status
7:58:26 PMTheFu not ufw --status
7:58:35 PMDooley_da_Vulcan did he freeze up again
7:58:48 PMTheFu ufw disable;ufw disable;ufw disable;ufw disable;ufw disable;
7:58:49 PMDooley_da_Vulcan yep, they are gone again
7:59:06 PMDooley_da_Vulcan he must of hit Server disable
7:59:14 PMnapa_polarbear roku out
7:59:14 PMSolbu Maybe he killed the internett.
7:59:24 PMDooley_da_Vulcan Ahhh, they are all back again
7:59:26 PMsparklyballs and back
7:59:33 PMTheFu Well ... giving out the live IP ...
7:59:45 PMsparklyballs i have sound no video
8:00:11 PMTheFu I have a screen and some audio
8:00:17 PMsparklyballs and both back
8:00:21 PMTheFu audio is dropping out.
8:00:34 PMDooley_da_Vulcan I had a moment of video and sound then nothing
8:00:39 PMalpeck i have both back
8:00:52 PMHenryBB yeah sorry all internet went out for a sec there
8:01:17 PMTheFu Yep. Buffering. Leaving and coming back in fixed it.
8:01:23 PMHenryBB robbie must've put the wrong code and killed the web haha
8:02:02 PMTheFu chromium-browser \
8:02:02 PMTheFu --proxy-server="socks5://localhost:64000"
8:02:28 PMTheFu Easier than keeping different profiles on Firefox.
8:03:07 PMTheFu When in China, bypassing their firewall is illegal, BTW.
8:03:23 PMalpeck excellent demonstration RobbieF
8:04:14 PMrobgor Robbief forgot to mention using sydney theme
8:04:25 PMalpeck pickles.com
8:04:48 PMSolbu RobbieF: To easy toggle proxy on and off, I use the QuickJava firefox plugin. It gives me a button in the toolbar to toggle proxy, amongs other things.
8:05:29 PMTheFu Florence
8:05:53 PMalpeck that just cost you $0.25 RobbieF
8:05:55 PMBobK54 that image just cost Cd$0.50 TO DOWNLOAD
8:07:09 PMTheFu I'd use imagemagick - convert ...
8:08:43 PMTheFu Can web-optimize with convert too.
8:09:32 PMTheFu convert -quality $QUAL "$img" "$NEW"; # 40 for qual usually works fine and the images are 80+% smaller.
8:16:25 PMrobgor Thanks RobbieF images are from DSLR so yeah will use higher images
8:16:43 PMTheFu Does WP always scale?
8:16:50 PMTheFu Or is that an addon?
8:18:07 PMalpeck be carefull SashaD2 when cycling
8:18:09 PMDooley_da_Vulcan good night all
8:18:17 PMMik3_0 Bye!
8:18:25 PMBobK54 night all!!
8:18:34 PMTheFu g'nite
8:18:47 PMDooley_da_Vulcan or at least RobbieF, SashaD2 and HenryBB
8:19:26 PMHenryBB haha night!
8:19:41 PMalpeck good night all
8:20:06 PMsparklyballs good night all
8:20:08 PMSashaD2 I will be careful :)... good night all!
8:20:30 PMDooley_da_Vulcan bye, I am the people
8:21:18 PMgpop7 Great show. Have a great week. Goodnight all.
8:21:22 PMSolbu Like an astronaut.. hehe. THat was a good one.
8:22:00 PMgpop7 They drop the mic and step
8:23:37 PMTheFu Met about 30 astronauts for my day job years ago.
8:24:02 PMTheFu Most are very nice people, most of the time.
8:24:29 PMTheFu But everyone has stressful days and some don't handle it with as much grace as others.
8:26:39 PMMik3_0 Video is still on Robbie
8:27:25 PMgarywhite is the show over or not?
