6:58:48 PMstormchaser3000 anyone know of an easy way to view and modify rtf files in Emacs?
7:01:15 PMTheFu irc not wrkg?
7:02:34 PMstormchaser3000 that's what I thought
7:02:50 PMstormchaser3000 messages from here are not showing up in discord
7:04:36 PMTheFu Solbu, ???
7:04:40 PMSweSG I don't like Discord! ;)
7:05:09 PMSweSG IRC
7:05:09 PMstormchaser3000 neither do I
7:07:23 PMTheFu https://freenode.net/news/seven-118 is in the announcements.
7:14:33 PMTheFu Simple photo backgrounds for Linux, no networking needed:
7:14:38 PMTheFu feh -d --draw-tinted --recursive --randomize --bg-max ~/Pictures/
7:44:12 PMTonesTechTips Has anyone else seen this month's issue of Linux Format? There's a NAGIOS article on page 60 that talks about running it on a Raspberry Pi using (Robbie's) NEMS software.
7:45:42 PMSolbu TheFu: Interesting. The DiscordBridge bot is not here.
7:46:30 PMSolbu «juli 30 23:04:52 * Quits: Discord__Bridge»
7:46:39 PMSolbu Time is CEST.
7:47:14 PMSolbu I'll send an email to Robbie, unless someone here have a discord account and mention the bridge is down…
7:47:17 PMTheFu Robbie is talking about something like fail2ban or denyhosts ....
7:47:32 PMTheFu Solbu, it was mentioned and ignored.
7:48:01 PMSolbu TheFu: Most likely it was not noticed by the hosts.
7:48:12 PMTheFu It was on the screen about 10 min.
7:50:09 PMSolbu That doesn't mean the hosts see it. I allways mention on eof the hosts nickname to increase the chance that they see it.
7:50:20 PMSolbu *one of
7:50:33 PMTheFu stormchaser3000 - did mention Robbie.
7:50:53 PMSolbu Ok. I'll send an email just the same. :-)
8:04:15 PMSolbu TonesTechTips: That is nice. :-)
8:05:47 PMTonesTechTips Solbu: That's what I thought :]
8:10:21 PMABQTKY Jeff Weston Enunciate, Jeff.
8:11:53 PMSolbu TheFu, stormchaser3000: What I do when the hosts need to know something, is I also mention the nick of one of the other hosts, as Robbie often doesn't have time to follow the chat during the show, whereas Jeff and Baile/Sasha often look in the chat during the entire show. So also mentioning their nickname's increase the chance of them noticing important messages.
8:12:37 PMorangeman plant tree 73 bring saw 94
8:13:12 PMorangeman did get any post from me
8:15:28 PMTonesTechTips Night all
8:16:06 PMABQTKY orangeman In previous weeks Discord would freeze several times. This week it apparently didn't freeze, but it didn't seem to link over to Freenode. Oh, well. BTW, with a nick like orangeman, you in Syracuse by chance??
8:17:17 PMorangeman i have sent some thougth post to robbie i want know it recived it yet
8:18:35 PMorangeman abqtky no i am not in syracuse where ever that is ?
8:19:53 PMABQTKY orangeman Not in Syracuse. Hmmm. Okay, you could be in Holland. 'Orangeman' would fit for someone there!
8:20:20 PMorangeman no i am not in holland
8:21:19 PMABQTKY I'll try again next week. 8-)
8:21:41 PMorangeman ok i go to bead
8:21:56 PMorangeman ok i go bed
8:22:25 PMorangeman night all
8:22:29 PMABQTKY TTYL
8:37:29 PMSolbu TheFu: As I suspected, Robbie didn't know. he replied to my e-mail just now: «Oh no! Sorry dude. Thanks for letting me know. I will restart it tomorrow morning.»
8:42:01 PMTheFu Posting about the issue in IRC wasn't going to help. Only someone on Discord could get through. I.e. NOT ME.
8:45:54 PMRobbieF Hi Solbu
8:45:57 PMRobbieF hi all
8:46:01 PMSolbu Hi. :-)
8:46:03 PMRobbieF Thanks for letting me know about the IRC bridge.
8:46:18 PMSolbu So, this is what it took to get you back on IRC the proper way. hehe.
8:46:20 PMRobbieF It shows as online on the Discord side, so I didn't catch it.
8:46:22 PMRobbieF ha
8:46:28 PMRobbieF I'll restart the service now.
8:57:26 PMMaineGeek75 well, I'm not sure if I think on your level...i'm still learning 😛
8:58:44 PMSolbu RobbieF: If all goes as I hope, I'll be saving aprox 6465 canadian dollars a year just by moving here. (some 4861 USD)
8:59:05 PMRobbieF A great mind, @MaineGeek75 is one that is always learning.
8:59:16 PMRobbieF that is wonderful Solbu!
8:59:23 PMMaineGeek75 @RobbieF , true 😃
9:00:26 PMMaineGeek75 Solbu, I would take that money that you are saving and place it into an emergency fund (never know when something is gonna break) Even if it's only half of what you save a year, when something goes wrong and you have that emergency fund it helps.
9:00:57 PMRobbieF I'd suggest instead donating your savings to Category5 TV 😄
9:01:01 PMRobbieF But I'm biased.
9:01:06 PMMaineGeek75 lol ;P
9:01:08 PMMaineGeek75 😛
9:01:09 PMSolbu I know. I plan do save them in a savings account I have.
9:01:44 PMSolbu RobbieF: This also means that few years I can afford a vacation abroad. If so, I plan to try and visit Barrie and the studio. Perhaps we could finally meet and have dinner someday with you, Jeff and Sasha. :-)
9:01:45 PMYetiWizard @RobbieF Ah, I understand. Excellent work on the consistency btw., making it happen every single week for so many years is quite an achievement. 👍🏻
9:01:46 PMMaineGeek75 I had an issue with my hotwater heater. if it weren't for my savings from buying my house I would have been stuck for a bit.
9:02:08 PMRobbieF Thank you @YetiWizard
9:02:23 PMRobbieF Solbu - it'd be wonderful to host you here in Barrie.
9:02:36 PMSolbu :-)
9:02:42 PMRobbieF Maybe @ameriDroid and @MarshMan can recommend a decent breakfast spot.
9:02:51 PMSolbu I'm sure we can figure something out when the time comes.
9:03:12 PMMaineGeek75 😃
9:03:32 PMRobbieF I look forward to it.
9:05:21 PMSolbu RobbieF: But it is still a little strange to have plenty of space.
9:05:45 PMMaineGeek75 well, see you next week I guess 😛 Got the alarm set on my phone to scream at me lol 😄
9:05:54 PMMaineGeek75 have a great evening
9:06:36 PMameriDroid @RobbieF the issue was the green PSU wire needed to be grounded. Then it fired right up.
9:09:38 PMRobbieF Seeya then @MaineGeek75
9:09:43 PMameriDroid @RobbieF and @Solbu the Sunset Grill in Barrie is pretty good. But make sure to get the real Canadian maple syrup!
9:09:46 PMRobbieF Oh nice @ameriDroid
9:10:03 PMRobbieF -- and #bacon
9:11:12 PMameriDroid I'm not able to access the SOPine yet for some reason, but I have access to the ROCKPro64. Next I have to configure those 4TB drives in a RAID on the ROCKPro64.
9:11:23 PMRobbieF
9:12:41 PMRobbieF I can't wait to build my clusterboard!!!
9:15:30 PMRobbieF @ameriDroid are you going to carry the KKSB screen we reviewed? I would love to link to you.
9:15:53 PMSolbu RobbieF: Oh, by the way. An IRC user mentioned during the show (shich you didn't see due to bridge being down) that this months Linux Format magazine (issue 253) have an article on page 60 on using NEMS.
9:16:37 PMRobbieF Really? That's amazing! How can I see it?
9:17:27 PMSolbu RobbieF: I believe you can buy it online: https://www.linuxformat.com/
9:17:38 PMRobbieF Thanks.
9:17:41 PMameriDroid @RobbieF I'm not sure we want to stock any more Pi3 compatible stuff as it's not going to move very well.
9:17:59 PMRobbieF I'm VERY hopeful KKSB will add a Pi 4 compatible option.
9:18:02 PMameriDroid Probably wait until they have a Pi4 version
9:18:06 PMRobbieF yep
9:18:19 PMRobbieF when they do, please let me know the link.
9:18:42 PMRobbieF Also, keep tabs on our site links in the shop (shop.category5.tv) and if there are products you carry, let me know the URLs and I'll add you.
9:24:37 PMRobbieF @Solbu - shame... their site refuses to take payment from either of my credit cards.
9:24:49 PMRobbieF Definitely not a problem on my end.
