6:58:23 PMSolbu ABQTKY: Yes: https://www.solbu.net/english/ambulance-helicopter-pilots-are-just-amazing.html
6:58:53 PMGWG TheFu: This is the only Ubuntu system I have. I'm thinking of going to something I'm more familiar with
6:59:00 PMGWG Maybe back to Fedora
6:59:49 PMMarshMan ABQTKY: I know on MATE if you open a folder then go to Edit, Preferences, View you can adjust Icon sizes
6:59:59 PMTheFu GWG: Just manually change the uid/gid to match between the systems. That's all you need.
7:00:05 PMGWG TheFu: I did that
7:00:10 PMGWG I'm still getting permission errors.
7:00:22 PMTheFu GWG: trying to use root?
7:00:26 PMTheFu root is blocked for NFS.
7:00:39 PMTheFu by default.
7:00:44 PMGWG TheFu: No. It's the webserver that can't access the file.
7:01:02 PMTheFu GWG: I can stay late ...
7:01:24 PMTheFu NFS is NFS ... across all Unixen.
7:01:36 PMABQTKY @Solbu - Good grief. You really should have stayed away from PyeongChang. (I'll read the page a bit more slowly after the show. You okay now?)
7:01:54 PMTheFu Pi day! Everyone ordered the new r-pi v3 b+?
7:02:33 PMGWG TheFu: I still like to be on a more comfortable distro
7:07:17 PMMarshMan Jweston: A Cat5 Bat signal
7:08:30 PMBobK54 three years ago it was even more significant: 3.14.15
7:08:54 PMTheFu The new v3 B+ has a GigE NIC, but it is connected to the old USB2-host controller, so probably 250Mbps throughput max.
7:11:57 PMTheFu The v3-B+ wifi is AC, finally.
7:12:11 PMMarshMan RobbieF: Not true Gigabit ethernet
7:12:35 PMTheFu MarshMan: The internal bus is the limitation on the ethernet port.
7:13:10 PMMarshMan TheFu: Yup but still not true Gigabit
7:13:53 PMTheFu Think they are still using the same old flakey USB controller inside. ;(
7:15:27 PMMarshMan Baby steps. They'll spring something else on us though.
7:15:40 PMTheFu That would be 480Mbps shared across all peripherals - USB, NIC, ...
7:15:56 PMTheFu PoE rocks! 24v or 48v?
7:16:45 PMTheFu Ubiquiti routers often support these.
7:17:02 PMTheFu Need a PoE injector otherwise.
7:18:50 PMGWG Red Alert
7:19:32 PMMarshMan Shields up
7:19:32 PMTheFu Maybe the UPS needs new batteries? Swapped out some 6 yr old ones here last year.
7:20:26 PMTheFu Did anyone get in on the $314 Core i3 laptops that MSFT was selling today?
7:20:43 PMMarshMan fundsrlo
7:20:52 PMlichenx1 up yet?
7:21:01 PMSolbu no
7:21:22 PMlichenx1 there it goes
7:21:42 PMSolbu Kodi is live.
7:21:51 PMTheFu "starts soon" msg.
7:21:56 PMMarshMan youtube good
7:23:02 PMSolbu RobbieF_: Kodi and Youtube is reported to be online.
7:23:21 PMMarshMan RobbieF_: Bad hardware, been there
7:23:33 PMTheFu I failed the google captcha today.
7:23:50 PMMarshMan Jweston: Maybe u r a robot
7:23:55 PMTheFu Jeff needs an IRC client.
7:24:14 PMJweston im an android
7:24:18 PMJweston call me data
7:24:23 PMBobK54 eric raymond just issued a rant on getting an open source/open hardware battery backup that lasts more than 3 years and doesnt require a wierd proprietary battery
7:24:24 PMMarshMan See!
7:24:31 PMGWG Jweston: Does not compute
7:25:04 PMMarshMan Deja vu
7:25:13 PMTheFu Danger Will Robinson!
7:26:38 PMSolbu Jweston: So, does that make RobbieF_ Lore? :-)
7:27:01 PMTheFu Pi-hole!
7:27:59 PMJweston yes solbu
7:28:14 PMSolbu :-)
7:32:03 PMGuest_9391 R Pi 3 + is supposedly in stock at Canakit. I just ordered a basic kit,
7:34:19 PMTheFu Only need 3 things usually - a) r-pi, b) quality PSU, c) minimal case. Assuming you have a 4-8G microSD to boot. Most pi systems don't really need much storage. Media really needs to be stored elsewhere.
7:34:25 PMGWG Jweston: Japanese or American arcade buttons?
7:35:06 PMTheFu Spyhunter!
7:35:37 PMGWG I built a tabletop Picade using the Pimoroni kit and redid the buttons. I just didn't want to cut wood
7:36:13 PMGWG I grew up with Tapper
7:36:18 PMGWG But I did Spyhunter
7:36:36 PMSolbu Stunts! :-)
7:36:44 PMGWG I had Spyhunter for the C64
7:36:47 PMTheFu $400+ - at least.
7:38:44 PMTheFu Miss my Atari 2600. Had 150-ish cartridges.
7:38:56 PMTheFu Completely addictive.
7:39:10 PMTheFu Owncloud/nextcloud on a r-pi!
7:40:03 PMGWG TheFu: Nextcloud is what started my NFS issues
7:40:26 PMTheFu GWG: I use nextcloud with NFS. We can chat post-show.
7:41:07 PMGWG TheFu: I think it is time to redo this system. It started life as a Mythbuntu 16.04 installation, and MythBuntu is dead anyway
7:41:45 PMTheFu I'm on 16.04 for most of my systems. Actually migrated from 14.04 last month.
7:41:54 PMTheFu Newer isn't always better.;)
7:42:23 PMGWG TheFu: Yes, but I needed Python 3.6 for something, and that started a whole boatload of thingsd
7:42:31 PMTheFu pyenv.
7:43:38 PMGWG TheFu: My point is, I did what seemed like a simple software upgrade, and it started a chain of events.
7:43:44 PMTheFu Never modify the system python. That is for the OS vendor. Best practice for all scripting languages is to use something like perlbrew, rbenv, rvm, or pyenv.
7:43:45 PMGWG I think I should declare bankruptcy
7:43:53 PMABQTKY GWG, well, I'm on Mythbuntu 17.10 - works fine! 8-) It's just Xubuntu with MythTV.
7:44:10 PMTheFu ABQTKY: I don't touch short-term-support releases.
7:44:21 PMTheFu 6 months of support just ain't enough.
7:44:38 PMABQTKY The FU - live dangerously!!
7:44:49 PMGWG ABQTKY: Without an actual distro, I'm going back to Fedora...where I know where everything is.
7:44:54 PMTheFu ABQTKY: I did, in the 1990s and earlier.
7:44:55 PMGWG I'm a CentOS/Fedora person
7:45:07 PMMarshMan Debian here
7:45:32 PMGWG I think it will be easier for me to deal with things.
7:45:37 PMTheFu Ubuntu for 95% / Debian for 5%. CentOS for testing when I want to feel icky. ;)
7:45:46 PMTheFu GWG: I completely understand.
7:46:12 PMGWG TheFu: I was willing to put it off till I had a need. My need right now is I don't want to troubleshoot a distro I only use on one system
7:46:42 PMGWG Maybe I'll see about some other upgrades
7:46:53 PMNelson Hello Robbie !
7:47:26 PMTheFu dropped?
7:47:30 PMBobK54 gone
7:47:40 PMTheFu Or did my r-pi break?
7:47:44 PMSolbu heh.
7:47:49 PMMarshMan yuotube out
7:47:53 PMSolbu Kodi out too.
7:47:57 PMMarshMan website out
7:48:11 PMlichenx1 TheFu, when you say pyenv you mean like virtualenv?
7:48:17 PMBobK54 wanted a pi for a long time, just ordered the new one! New toys!!!!
7:48:20 PMfking Roku is out also.
7:48:49 PMSolbu Kodi is live.
7:48:59 PMMarshMan youtube live
7:49:21 PMTheFu lichenx1: Don't know that one. I'm not a python guy. Basically, it is a way to have 20 different versions of python installed which don't impact the system version, but let you choose which you want for any projects, as desired.
7:49:55 PMlichenx1 TheFu, just checked it, looks nice but I think virtualenv works better (for me) but i'm gonna look into it
7:49:58 PMABQTKY Lots of audio and video stuttering, but the website's Watch Live - is running...so far.
7:50:06 PMlichenx1 I think you have like 75 ways to make a venv with python lol
7:50:22 PMTheFu lichenx1: https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/stable/ - looks like what I mean.
7:50:58 PMTheFu I use perlbrew - perl guy.
7:51:26 PMTheFu Back when I did ruby + rails, it was rvm. Missed Perl performance too much.
7:51:34 PMNelson hello Robbie
7:52:00 PMTheFu Nelson: Hey Nelson. Robbie is live now.
7:52:29 PMGarbee Hey
7:52:54 PMGarbee DId I miss any funny stuff?
7:53:01 PMGarbee I got on the stream as Robbie left that chatroom.
7:53:07 PMNelson the new background on the set looks great, you finally got rid of that Brick background that I hated
7:53:45 PMTheFu I can get GigE here ... $499/month + $800 install.
7:53:50 PMlichenx1 I just got 8mb down dsl for $45 month and feel like crying
7:53:52 PMMarshMan Snakeoil
7:53:54 PMNelson no the old set was great, the brick was just bad
7:53:55 PMGarbee RobbieF: Just cry over the fact that I hate all of it.
7:54:14 PMTheFu I miss the bricks.
7:54:17 PMTheFu ;)
7:54:23 PMGarbee But I still watch almost every week.
7:54:24 PMTheFu Comcast.
7:54:39 PMMarshMan consistency
7:55:31 PMTheFu I pay $110/month for 15/3Mbps.
7:55:54 PMlichenx1 actually worse than me per price
7:55:58 PMlichenx1 can't believe it! lol
7:56:13 PMTheFu I have business service, not residential.
7:56:26 PMTheFu That means I call a different number and talk to someone local.
7:56:28 PMSolbu I have free fiber built in to the house rent, but I don't use it because it doesn't have static IP, and they block smtp ports inbound and outbound. I run a mailserver so I need unlimited ports. So I still use aDSL, which give me static 30-bit IP and PTR record of my chosing.
7:56:37 PMTheFu Also have static IPs - a /29.
7:56:38 PMlichenx1 mining is not a poor mans sport but I'm attempting
7:56:43 PMABQTKY Uh, oh - vy high CPU use and maybe a bit higher memory use than normal. Did I 'acquire' a 'miner' or some such?
7:56:43 PMABQTKY Very high CPU use and more memory use here. Might not be a good sign.
7:56:44 PMlichenx1 sadly
7:57:47 PMJweston lichenx1 get into turtle coin they have designed it to not need a miner
7:57:48 PMTheFu Solbu: I run a mail server and a separate email gateway. I can put the gateway on a VPS, leaving my email server local and use a tunnel (ssh or openvpn) between them.
7:57:53 PMABQTKY Also very slow for posts to show up here in the ChatRoom...like several minutes for a post to appear.
7:57:55 PMJweston it works with commerical grade equipmetn
8:01:39 PMTheFu A warning ... using a GUI for mounting on Linux is usually the worst choice. Definitely for performance and sometimes it will trash the existing /etc/fstab - making the next boot fail.
8:03:38 PMSolbu RobbieF, Jweston: Try episode 407. you answered a cifs question on that episode.
8:05:33 PMJweston ok
8:11:39 PMTheFu Ludachis speed!
8:11:51 PMTheFu s/chris/
8:12:32 PMTheFu Next up - BFR ---- ignore the published abbrev. They call is a BIG F....... Rocket!
8:14:10 PMTheFu SpaceX uses less efficient rockets and fuels with a lower ISP (specific impulse) than others.
8:19:09 PMTheFu Pre-Quadcopters, there were R/C aircraft, powered by gas engines. Was this something different?
8:22:54 PMSolbu Jweston: How do one find out which ransomeware one need recovery from.
8:29:35 PMTheFu Don't run massively used operating systems.
8:29:48 PMTheFu Windows, iOS, Android.
8:29:57 PMTheFu Huge targets.
8:30:09 PMTheFu BSD ... not really a target.
8:37:45 PMRobbieF sgajh
8:37:56 PMGarbee Yea you're online.
8:38:02 PMGarbee I'm just jumping between 6 things.
