6:58:19 PMGarbee Oh no, Robbie's going to say check 20 times...
6:58:48 PMbakechad @RobbieF Listening to the Mini-PC show #92 - http://podnutz.com/mini092/ They're talking up NEMS Linux, Cat5 & Robbie.

6:58:57 PMMarshMan 4AM
6:59:11 PMGarbee Also, do not apply American-focused sun block. Get European standards stuff. It’s much better quality now.
6:59:18 PMGarbee Not sure what ya’lls Canadians standards are.
6:59:23 PMGarbee But if it is ours… yuck.
6:59:27 PMMarshMan Whenever I fall asleep
6:59:37 PMnoeman5 You and I get up at the same time @MarshMan
6:59:48 PMGarbee American regulation hasn’t changed on it since the 70’s or 80’s. Something really old.
6:59:57 PMGarbee Europe has kept updating theirs in the mean time.
7:00:00 PMnoeman5 Depending on the time zone
7:01:28 PMGarbee My great-aunt “tans” which is really just “turning herself into a lobster.”
7:01:35 PMGarbee Literally trying to jump species that one…
7:02:18 PMGarbee Wait, did I hear food?
7:02:21 PMSolbu Hmm. Jeff is on the wrong side, saha is off camera and there is two bald nerds. Is the acopalypse comming? ;-)
7:02:28 PMGarbee Where is my invite?
7:02:38 PMSkywriter64 Hi from warm & humid Brooklyn,NY

7:03:22 PMGarbee (AC broken downstairs here.)
7:06:26 PMGarbee Coke, great for cleaning car battery corrosion.
7:06:27 PMSkywriter64 I still miss TAB
7:06:30 PMSolbu Or do a Sheldon: 90% coce 10% pepsi.
7:07:41 PMGarbee 12 in 5 hours isn’t that bad.
7:07:43 PMGarbee

7:08:58 PMMarshMan The missus gave up Coca Cola when she realized she was kicking me all night
7:09:33 PMMarshMan Caffeine

7:25:48 PMSolbu Cool!
7:29:49 PMstormchaser3000 one thing I find that works really well on single-board computers is emacs without a desktop environment
7:30:19 PMstormchaser3000 I am connected to this irc channel using my raspberry pi running an emacs irc client
7:30:51 PMSolbu stormchaser3000: Some claim Emacs is a complete operating system. ;-)
7:31:16 PMstormchaser3000 fair point XD
7:31:45 PMstormchaser3000 I am still learning how to use it but so far I really like Emacs
7:32:49 PMTheFu stormchaser3000, that will go away in a few months. I'm a reformed Emacs user.
7:35:06 PMGarbee https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/495592877733183489/598658488625004547/image0.jpg
7:35:28 PMnoeman5 thinking about beer.

7:35:51 PMBlokey Yes, I can't type and listen at the same time!
7:36:26 PMTheFu Mmmmmm beer.
7:36:29 PMMarshMan https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/495592877733183489/598658838064791583/image0.jpg
7:38:01 PMSolbu Speaking of systems with lots of harddrives: https://www.solbu.net/bilder/kabinett.jpg
7:38:07 PMSolbu No, not mine. :-)
7:38:33 PMMarshMan https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/495592877733183489/598659351946723348/image0.jpg

7:39:18 PMnoeman5 So will they open a Cananadroid? (branch office)
7:39:19 PMstormchaser3000 Connected to the chat through erc (an emaca irc client)
7:39:20 PMstormchaser3000 https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/495592877733183489/598659544843026433/JPEG_20190710_183656.jpg
7:39:48 PMstormchaser3000 Emacs*
7:41:32 PMnoeman5 Odd, @stormchaser3000 's photo shows as normal on my roku tv, but turned 90 degrees on my laptop.
7:41:33 PMTheFu Or use a HW KVM switch to connect 2, 4, 8, 16, 24 ... different computers.
7:42:30 PMTheFu https://farm2.static.flickr.com/1243/1201399928_c92fe91f5c_o.jpg
7:43:00 PMSolbu Hehehe., Nice.
7:43:28 PMnoeman5 Whoa Fu, that looks like Indian power poles.
7:45:11 PMTheFu Is that worse than this? https://4.bp.blogspot.com/_n3Sbk_2ZV-g/TENH-SnNUVI/AAAAAAAAAf0/0uBzugayzQY/s1600/123.JPG
7:45:57 PMMarshMan The Mummy Lives!
7:46:38 PMTheFu Chinese traffic was bad. ;(
7:50:24 PMTheFu Redundancy is key.
7:51:32 PMTheFu Robbie, will your video processing server be an SBC cluster?
7:52:00 PMTheFu FreeIPA can replace AD.
7:53:05 PMnoeman5 More mess
7:53:06 PMnoeman5 https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/495592877733183489/598662996344176642/server-room-with-salt.jpg
7:56:01 PMRo 😬
7:56:39 PMTheFu https://i.redd.it/ijqtjbr2xuh11.jpg clusters!
7:57:46 PMnoeman5 nice Fu
8:00:10 PMTheFu I tend to use VMs to do cluster stuff because the CPU performance on x64 is so much higher than ARM, but I can see where a college might want students to deal with hardware.
8:01:14 PMTheFu There are different sorts of clusters. They aren't all the same. HA clusters are different from CPU clusters like NOAA would need for weather forecasting.
8:02:27 PMTheFu Front-end clusters are different from DBMS clusters. All 4 are different.
8:03:15 PMMarshMan SBC clusters are just plain cool
8:03:22 PMTheFu ;)
8:04:05 PMMarshMan Why make one? Because you can.
8:04:21 PMMarshMan Doe sit mean I should?
8:04:26 PMMarshMan Who cares
8:04:54 PMnoeman5 An SBC that is hardly larger than an RJ-45 socket. Cool!
8:05:26 PMMarshMan There are smaller
8:05:39 PMnoeman5 amazing
8:05:42 PMMarshMan They are called smart watches
8:07:34 PMnoeman5 hadn't thought of that. my fitbit is an SBC I guess.
8:08:09 PMMarshMan More powerful than the room filling machines of old
8:09:45 PMTheFu They used to make wifi accessible storage servers, powered by USB. Great if your phone doesn't allow extra storage. ZSun is the version I have.
8:10:27 PMMarshMan Is @SashaR s arm getting tired?
8:11:39 PMRo Yes I think it must be getting tired by now. 😂
8:12:21 PMTheFu https://www.amazon.com/CoCocina-Reader-Extender-Wireless-Storage/dp/B074W6CW8Y/ used to be $15.
8:13:49 PMBlokey Fascinating to see the future of SBCs
8:16:03 PMMarshMan That’s Picroft @RobbieF
8:16:27 PMTheFu The kewl thing about SBCs is all the Kewl things that people not warped with 25 yrs in computing come up with.
8:16:38 PMTheFu Voices? Got Snoop Dogg?
8:16:49 PMMarshMan My speaker looks like an Alexa type device
8:16:51 PMnoeman5 bye jeff
8:16:56 PMMarshMan Freaks my wife out
8:17:31 PMMarshMan No snakeoil here! @RobbieF
8:19:06 PMTheFu Tech Chat with SashaR
8:23:16 PMameridroid @noeman5 "Cananadroid" 😂
8:25:06 PMMarshMan GDPR means business
8:25:11 PMMarshMan I LIKE it
8:27:36 PMGopher Will canadia legislate a strong GDPR. Can't see the US doing it.
8:28:48 PMMarshMan The word you want is offender
8:30:44 PMMarshMan You also need to get in on the first batch too
8:30:57 PMMarshMan To get the 128G
8:31:16 PMameridroid ameridroid should have them for sale in October when they enter general availability
8:31:30 PMameridroid them=Pinebook Pro
8:31:49 PMMarshMan Looking forward to it
8:32:21 PMMarshMan My Dell running Debian is crapping out
8:32:38 PMSolbu Oh, I got an idea for the opening. RobbieF can ask Sasha where her computer is, and Jeff can hand her the Ethernet size one as backup computer for today. ;-)
8:34:06 PMMarshMan Torvalds
8:34:45 PMMarshMan SODIMM
8:34:55 PMMarshMan WinRAR
8:35:03 PMMarshMan Obfucated
8:35:09 PMTheFu Thanks MM.
8:35:47 PMMarshMan Words @SashaR struggles with
8:36:34 PMTheFu If you want to hack any woman ... send an email with hacked images with the subject "New Baby Pictures"
8:36:51 PMYetiWizard The Cloud Clipboard is scary
8:36:53 PMTheFu My Mom fell for that from a granddaughter's hacked account.
8:37:03 PMMarshMan Stop using public computers
8:37:52 PMTheFu That convinced her to switch to Linux, so there was a silver lining.
8:38:09 PMameridroid But they saved the cost of a resistor!
8:38:41 PMYetiWizard But what if you really need to access some important account on a public computer?
8:38:49 PMYetiWizard And say you use LastPass
8:38:52 PMTheFu You don't.
8:39:05 PMTheFu Ever.
8:39:22 PMMarshMan I never have.
8:39:34 PMMarshMan Don’t even know where I could
8:40:02 PMMarshMan Other than a library
8:40:34 PMYetiWizard I feel a bit anxious using passwords managers because I may need to access an account in an emergency.
8:40:36 PMTheFu Hotels have public computers in the lobby for guests to print boarding passes and look up stuff.
8:40:53 PMYetiWizard And may not have access to the manager.
8:41:16 PMMarshMan True TheFu
8:41:18 PMYetiWizard That's an example where you may need to access public comps
8:42:02 PMYetiWizard What if the hotel comp doesn't have bluetooth, how do you transfer your boarding pass for printing?
8:42:03 PMTheFu Hostels have some too.
8:42:13 PMMarshMan Haven’t travelled in a while, can’t you have the pass on your phone for them to scan?
8:42:14 PMTheFu What? BT is never used.
8:42:25 PMTheFu I disable in on all devices. Don't trust it.
8:42:38 PMYetiWizard Yea I've seen people do that
8:42:43 PMTheFu MM - not in some parts of the world.
8:43:04 PMTheFu They do everything with paper in KTM.
8:43:21 PMMarshMan Then don’t go there TheFu 😛
8:43:25 PMameridroid Municipalities can actually track people by querying nearby BT devices, like peoples' phones.
8:43:28 PMSolbu TheFu: I do that too. I disable any kind of wireless communication. I don't trust it either.
8:43:46 PMTheFu And the last thing I want to do is hand over an unlocked phone to any airport person.
8:44:03 PMYetiWizard Do you just disable it or remove the module from the laptop?
8:44:17 PMTheFu HW lock it. Disabled in BIOS.
8:44:18 PMameridroid I've heard of cities that use BT tracking in traffic lights to monitor the flow of traffic.
8:44:36 PMTheFu They use wifi and cell data too.
8:44:52 PMBobK54 he's wearing a blaaaaaaaaazzzzzer. LOL
8:45:23 PMnoeman5 Jeff is blazing. 😋
8:46:03 PMYetiWizard Well, I agree someone needs to add some style points to the show 😄
8:46:05 PMTheFu http://www.libelium.com/products/meshlium/smartphone-detection/ be afraid.
8:46:57 PMSolbu Hmm, did the discord chat just freeze on the stream?
8:47:39 PMnoeman5 now we just need discord for roku
8:47:50 PMTheFu or Robbie has a "CIA/NSA Block" button on the discord.
8:47:57 PMMarshMan The streak is over
8:48:46 PMMarshMan Regarding Discord
8:50:33 PMSolbu Yey! :-)
8:51:41 PMnoeman5 TitanPi still does a MUCH better job than the previous discord server.
8:52:02 PMMarshMan No contest
8:52:07 PMYetiWizard That final BYE made me deaf xD
8:52:47 PMTheFu Fun time tonight!
8:52:57 PMTheFu Solbu, Have fun moving!
8:53:03 PMSolbu I will.
8:53:14 PMMarshMan Good luck Solbu!
8:53:15 PMnoeman5 with Bo there, Sasha looks tiny
8:53:25 PMSolbu I officially get the house on the 16th, and move on the 17th.
8:53:29 PMRobbieF https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/495592877733183489/598678211953557524/IMG_20190710_205226.jpg
8:53:35 PMMarshMan @SashaR is tiny
8:54:26 PMTheFu Nice haul on the show. Need to re-watch to see what I missed.
8:55:16 PMYetiWizard I missed the whole thing, they need to start earlier. It starts at 1 AM here...
8:55:36 PMYetiWizard 💤
8:55:37 PMnoeman5 4 pm here
8:55:44 PMMarshMan Time zones stink
8:55:51 PMRobbieF Thanks so much everyone! Hope you had fun!!
8:56:11 PMSolbu Robbie: It was really interesting.
8:56:14 PMYetiWizard Yea, sadly one can't do much about it.
8:56:18 PMnoeman5 Had a ball @RobbieF thanks
8:57:49 PMMarshMan @RobbieF I didn’t realize that I could pinch and zoom the Wyze
8:58:04 PMMarshMan Too much and it pixelates
8:58:37 PMnoeman5 About time for dinner, g'night all.
8:58:52 PMYetiWizard Good night all!
9:00:37 PMBlokey Dinner at my desk so I didn't miss anything
9:01:16 PMBlokey How to get mashed potato out of the keyboard?
9:03:10 PMSolbu Speaking of eating: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/0e/7f/88/0e7f88d42349fb803316ef5bd1c1409a.jpg
9:13:47 PMRobbieF Yeah, digital zoom. Hope you enjoyed it @MarshMan
