[00:44:30] <AzumaHazuki> in nicer news, i have a 32GiB kit of DDR4-2400 coming for the lappy soon :)
[00:44:52] <AzumaHazuki> i'm still the kind of person who thinks 8 is alien technology...Gentoo disagrees though. It's hungry.
[00:45:42] <zhromas> Not using void anymore?
[00:47:04] <AzumaHazuki> not for a while. i was on Artix for a good year after that, and got this E495 last November and went right to Gentoo
[01:10:18] <Bytram> =g E495
[01:10:19] <systemd> https://www.lenovo.com - Lenovo ThinkPad E495 (14 inch) | AMD Ryzen™ 7 Business ...
[01:13:23] <Bytram> default configuration is 4 GB RAM (I can see why you'd upgrade that) and 1 TB 5400(!) RPM hard disk? Ouch.
[01:17:13] <AzumaHazuki> this one came with 8GiB and 256GiB NVMe SSD
[01:17:25] <Bytram> oooh, much bettah!
[01:17:31] <AzumaHazuki> yeah, NVMe is amazing
[01:17:46] <AzumaHazuki> not the same kind of quantum leap as HDD to SSD, but noticeable
[01:18:30] <Bytram> I went from 7200 RPM spinny to 1 TB SSD (but not NVMe) and am most pleased with the improvement that brought.
[01:20:31] <AzumaHazuki> sata ssd to nvme ssd isn't anywhere near that big a leap, but it's definitely perceptible
[01:21:38] * Bytram remembers, all too well, booting for a floppy disk. Talk about painful!

[01:21:46] <exec> <Bytram> remembers, all too well, booting from a floppy disk. Talk about painful!
[01:23:13] <Bytram> Still, it was a whole lot better than loading a program from cassette tape... or paper tape (at ~10 characters per second).
[01:26:01] <AzumaHazuki> eesh
[01:28:45] <Bytram> Punch cards: uniform lengths of paper tape.
[01:30:19] <AzumaHazuki> punch cards are an enigma: the more data you punch into them the less they weigh

[08:06:43] <janrinok> a worthy cause then - please continue...!
[08:07:07] <zhromas> /nick MartyB
[08:07:25] <janrinok> oh you are a wag!
[08:08:52] <Ingar> good morning janrinok :)
[08:11:48] <janrinok> all is good in the world, I hope?
[08:12:25] <Ingar> depends, I was going to edit a mediawiki today
[08:12:33] <Ingar> *a mediawiki skin
[08:12:54] <Ingar> skiinning is gory business
[08:12:58] <janrinok> you are no longer intending to do that?

[08:18:07] <janrinok> still sounds good!
[08:18:23] <FatPhil> drink, shhhhhh!!!!!! (we're breaking the law this afternoon - holding an unofficial crap beer festival)
[08:19:29] <FatPhil> this weekend was supposed to be tallinn's craft beer festival, but because craft beer hipsters have their head stuck too far up their arses we always hold a popup punk crap beer festival just outside.
[08:19:50] <FatPhil> The craft festival's cancelled, but we thought we should hold the crap one anyway.
[08:20:11] <janrinok> lol - good effort!

[08:20:30] <FatPhil> just a word of mouth thing, friends of friends, so not expecting crowds.
[08:21:12] <janrinok> no need to rush to get a good seat then...
[08:22:36] <FatPhil> we're hosting it at our local pub, and we're seriously worried the owner could get in trouble - she's even announced it on facebook...
[08:22:47] <janrinok> not a good move
[08:23:24] <FatPhil> she's already a target of police driveby scans during her normal hours. hopefully the cops don't read facebook.
[08:25:00] <janrinok> have you dug an escape tunnel in case they arrive while you are inside. I'm told that a vaulting horse and lots of bed slats can come in useful, but try to avoid getting partnered with the bloke who cannot see any more...
[08:25:14] <FatPhil> the courtyard next to her bar is much bigger, we might just relocate there. there's also a park just around the corner, that's a possibility.
[08:25:42] <janrinok> 'cannot see anymore' - that could be quite a lot of you if things go well.
[08:26:13] <FatPhil> her bar is actually quite a crazy maze of tunnels - it's basically all the leftover bits of the building once all the sensible sized chunks have been removed.
[08:29:26] <janrinok> so when the first police come in the door, those nearest start an impromptu theatre production, and the rest of you melt away into the shadows. That sounds like my sort of bar.
[08:30:31] <janrinok> biab
[08:30:44] <FatPhil> maybe we should have spotters in the park that can give us 30s warning to put the horse back over the hole.

[09:04:48] <Ingar> so far so good
[09:05:02] <Ingar> no small animals were abused while messing with PHP
[09:10:56] <Ingar> CSS on the other hand...
[09:13:18] <FatPhil> say off the small animals - that's my turf (he says having just posted to an SN thread about small animals...)
[09:13:58] <Ingar> well tbh, I usually throw inanimate objects
[09:14:03] <Ingar> preferably glass
[09:14:27] <Ingar> I tried hitting the wall with my fist once, but that wasn't such a bright idea
[09:15:13] <Ingar> found my CSS bug though :)
[09:15:33] <Ingar> evidently, background-size: cover; works on both with and height
