6:58:52 PMGarbee Jeff, just get on your knees.
6:58:54 PMTheFu Looks like someone messed with the projector focus. Newman!
6:58:58 PMGarbee Then you'll fit on camera w/o any overhead.
6:59:30 PMGarbee Oh I do not like that.
6:59:41 PMGarbee My phone ringing (which rings on my computer) pauses the youtube video when ringing.
6:59:48 PMGarbee In case I don't know it's ringing.
7:00:53 PMvariantti Pum
7:01:07 PMGarbee Tonight, you tell us all your deepest secrets.
7:02:03 PMGarbee Sasha is 28!
7:02:15 PMGarbee Jeff is 45.
7:02:41 PMGarbee hugs Jeff
7:02:59 PMSolbu I'm 46.
7:03:21 PMGarbee I'm.... I need to do some math....
7:03:28 PMGarbee 26.
7:04:52 PMGarbee No, but you have had a full beard.
7:05:33 PMnoeman5 my deepest secret, I still have a working copy of Windows Me on a laptop drive and RedHat 5.4 on another. (And a full set of Windows 3.1 and Win95 on floppy disks)
7:05:50 PMTheFu I feel 19!
7:06:46 PMSolbu TheFu: Don't trust your feelings, they might betray you. ;-)
7:07:06 PMGarbee And my head hurts. I'm taking a pill and going to sleep until it's gone. Enjoy your evening everyone.
7:07:37 PMnoeman5 good night Garbee
7:09:30 PMTheFu I have the SLS 0.96 disc from the early 1990s. Don't think it will install on any machine, real or virtual, that I have today.
7:10:34 PMnoeman5 before long data centers will be the size of a closet.
7:11:05 PMSolbu Jeff. I remember the first time I installed Mandrake Linux. When the installer came to the point when it installed files, it said «This ought to take several minutes» I remember smiling, as the usual line is that ii Might take a few minutes. :-)
7:13:02 PMnoeman5 Somewhere in storage I have the discs for a version of Solarix for a Silicon Graphics workstation (also in storage).
7:13:40 PMnoeman5 my wife says I`m a tech pack rat.
7:14:27 PMnoeman5 😃
7:14:44 PMGreenMint ha
7:17:11 PMSolbu So, no more going back in time… :-)
7:17:49 PMunsterblich Just got my N2 today. Very excited to set it up and play with it
7:19:06 PMnoeman5 Roy- have you tried turning it off and on again?
7:19:17 PMSolbu Ooh! I like the colored prompt.
7:21:43 PMTheFu NANO!!!! Say it ain't true!
7:21:47 PMSashaR I do too!
7:22:06 PMSolbu vim!
7:24:31 PMSolbu Btw, this is my colored prompt. The root user have a red prompt, everyone else is green: https://www.solbu.net/bilder/screenshoots/colorprompt.png
7:25:25 PMGreenMint what's wrong with green
7:25:51 PMnoeman5 don`t want no fake time
7:26:30 PMSolbu GreenMint: I want to be able to see wether I'm root or not with just a glance at the terminal.
7:27:21 PMGreenMint details lol
7:31:01 PMnoeman5 hi @stormchaser3000 , did YouTube not notify you?
7:31:08 PMstormchaser3000 yep
7:31:27 PMGopher You shouldn't need a battery backup in an ideal world. On boot every device should get the date and time from the internet. Done.
7:32:30 PMTheFu What if there isn't any internet?
7:32:32 PMMarshMan The hardware clock and OS are not necessarily in sync
7:32:58 PMMarshMan Battery is for hardware clock
7:33:21 PMGopher The OS can set the HW clock
7:34:13 PMMarshMan In a perfect world
7:34:20 PMnoeman5 Gopher. I have a laptop that randomly jumps forward 9 hours, I have to check it every so often during use and startup.
7:34:29 PMTheFu The point is NOT to have to do anything manual to have proper time, which is needed for many security things.
7:34:59 PMTheFu There are libraries to get good time from USB/Bluetooth GPS devices.
7:35:41 PMTheFu Nextcloud!
7:37:18 PMTheFu Lots of self-hosting options .... https://github.com/Kickball/awesome-selfhosted
7:37:18 PMnoeman5 $65 Canadian or US?
7:37:54 PMMarshMan Btw, @RobbieF all of those questions during setup had a (Y,n) with Y in upper case which makes it the default choice. If you want the default choice there is no need to type the y, just Enter would suffice
7:38:10 PMGreenMint great for a small office intranet
7:39:08 PMTheFu Shared calendar, shared address books, shared photos, shared files ... should handle all of those nicely.
7:42:13 PMnoeman5 Oh boy, a server for my Napster files! 😉
7:42:49 PMnoeman5 @SashaR needs coffee
7:46:14 PMSolbu «Hush little Robbie, don't you cry. I'm gonna read your teleprompt.»
7:51:02 PMTheFu GPS isn't good enough for flight. GPS fails for many reasons. GPS can lie. GPS can be tweaked by outsiders.
7:51:03 PMSolbu I'm with Jeff. Most air trafic controllers monitors parts of the air space. as in, they montor different heights.
7:51:37 PMSolbu Meaning some traffic wil not show up becaus it is not in their monitored heights.
7:51:41 PMTheFu 2100 at the earliest.
7:52:05 PMSolbu TheFu: As long as it's after we're long dead, we're fine with it. ;-)
7:52:23 PMTheFu I might make it.
7:52:26 PMTheFu ;)
7:53:00 PMMarshMan For once I agree with @Jeff Weston . Most cities cannot handle one level of traffic now we want TWO?
7:53:02 PMTheFu "Outback"
7:54:59 PMTheFu Think of the noise!
7:56:25 PMYetiWizard Jeff is too young to be into retro gaming 😄
7:56:38 PMGreenMint So much more to do than to stay inside a play games
7:56:50 PMTheFu "Retro" means different things to different people.
8:00:57 PMTheFu There are a few nasty Linux bugs this week - if you are running a server, you need to mitigate those ASAP.
8:02:10 PMGreenMint So do I need to patch my XP system
8:02:15 PMTheFu They are network stack issues.
8:02:57 PMTheFu Config changes needed. I haven't seen a patch, but I didn't look this afternoon.
8:05:48 PMGreenMint Facebook = NO
8:07:35 PMGreenMint Can't wait for Thinkspot
8:07:52 PMGreenMint https://www.ts.today/
8:08:23 PMTheFu My hope is that Credit Cards stop taxing 3.5-5% due to this competition.
8:10:06 PMTheFu Jeff is going to explode?
8:12:06 PMSashaR This is interesting!
8:14:09 PMTheFu Jeff is worried about not having some govt to prop up the coin, to ensure it isn't "too big to fail"
8:14:35 PMGreenMint Nothing to big to fail
8:15:39 PMYetiWizard wow, first sneeze in 12 years, what a premiere... 😄
8:16:34 PMTheFu All the credit card companies have been mining data from all our transactions for decades.
8:17:37 PMnoeman5 my hope is they don`t use Windows servers for the Facebook monetary servers. Windows update bankrupts the system?
8:20:39 PMTheFu What about using offline mode? Cache the calendar every morning.
8:22:03 PMMarshMan Wait for the solar flare that takes out North America’s power grid
8:22:08 PMSolbu btw, if Robbie only sneeze every 613'th episode, nest time will be on Wed March 19, 2031
8:22:26 PMSashaR I'll put it in my calendar!
8:22:29 PMSolbu Hehe.
8:23:03 PMYetiWizard Put it in the Google Calendar
8:23:13 PMYetiWizard let's see if it stays 😄
8:24:16 PMnoeman5 Go Ninja go Ninja go!
8:24:38 PMSolbu SashaR: You should start with you and robbie only, and widen when jeff speaks. :-)
8:25:01 PMnoeman5 Good thing I have a widescreen laptop then. 😉
8:25:07 PMSolbu Hehehe
8:25:24 PMSashaR Ha! 😃 Except he talks always 😃
8:26:05 PMSolbu RobbieF: Yea, that was advanced math. I just ran this in a terminal: «date --date '+613 weeks -1 day'
8:26:18 PMnoeman5 Good night all!
8:26:34 PMYetiWizard Good night!
8:33:46 PMRobbieF Thanks all. Hope you enjoyed the show.
8:42:33 PMRobbieF Did @ameriDroid make it tonight?
8:44:00 PMMarshMan Nope
8:44:06 PMMarshMan Yep
8:45:10 PMMarshMan Didn’t hear from him
8:50:24 PMRobbieF Hopefully he catches the replay on Patreon - I was serious about the sticker 😃
8:51:05 PMMarshMan I looked on the store and didn’t see any stickers for sale
8:55:37 PMSashaR Thats likely because they are priceless!!
8:55:56 PMSashaR :)... That was a great episode!
8:56:24 PMSolbu Yes. Good to see the hole crew together again. :-)
9:03:32 PMRobbieF It's always great when @SashaR and @Jeff Weston are here.
9:05:14 PMSashaR And you too @RobbieF !
9:18:04 PMMarshMan How did you create a Debian Buster image when Buster isn’t officially released yet @RobbieF ?
9:18:23 PMRobbieF Because I wanted to 😄
9:18:25 PMRobbieF hehe
9:18:48 PMRobbieF it's available - was feature frozen a few months back by the Debian team.
9:19:06 PMRobbieF I wasn't happy with the fact that it wasn't officially available on all these boards, so I created it.
9:19:46 PMMarshMan So is it technically BustSid?
9:20:35 PMRobbieF technically.
9:22:40 PMMarshMan Still no RPi image on the site. Wish you had a vhd. I could use one.
