Fucking hell, I can fly from Singapore to Sydney for £38.50

That's cheap as fuck

0_0

scoot?

Qantas

Have to use my frequent flyer miles though

ah

Same cost as flying from Edinburgh to London though

ffs

Screw you BA BS taxes

Hmm Miaimi

Or Bordeux

Basically accomodation around here next weekend is so expensive I'm seeing if it might be cheaper to fly somewhere else for two days and come back

If I were in Singapore I'd easily fly to Sydney and back. Except I have to get there first

That would be an issue... Yes

@Dog :\

Looks different from mine.

@Bob geographically appropriate inappropriate spam?

@JourneymanGeek Oh, the second monitor upgrade lets me lift both up now :)

Old one didn't have proper height adjustment so I was keeping the primary rather low to match

Lil

I almost got a Samsung one, but the Acer one has the better stand afaict

27" monitor with tilt-only? ew.

I put my crossover on little daiso boxen

The crossovers have no adjustment

@JourneymanGeek ow

Could vesa mount em

m.facebook.com/… vaguely nsfw

lol

Most of my monitors get VESA mounted most days

Urgh why is it each newer version of utorrent just gets worse and worse

!!taytaytay

Eh what

!!wakeywakey!

It's dead :-(

@allquicatic, why is the bot down?

@Dog why are you still on uTorrent?

@bwDraco seems the websocket closed on it

!!info

Is there a way to get it to automatically recover from situations like this?

@bwDraco not easily

not as currently designed

As in, the bot should be able to detect this and reload the page automatically.

arggg, i am really pi--ed off at idiots right now. The neighbor trapped my dog, who was loose, then called me, I am 30 minutes away. then they go to dinner , dinner my butt that was 2 hours ago, they out drinking and partying.

Now If Anyone at any time had trapped thier Fricking child, who was found wandering around playing, and locked them up in thier home or yard, there would be (things like) Hell to pay, police and swat and .

This is why the dogs Tag says on it in all caps "LET ME BE FREE" if they would just let the dog go, he would have headed back home in seconds

@Dog picotorrent if you want basic. Qbitorrent if you need a little more

now when these idiots come home i am suspecting they will be under the influence of alcoholic beverages, and all the things that come with that, like beligerance, indignation, even greater stupidity

top it off i think i found the dog, and he is behind a fence that is low enough to jump over, but has Spikey stuff on top of it. again lets see them put thier kid behind a fence that Impales them when they jump over it.

He escaped :-) lol. I Dont know how. I think he learned his lesson, BITE the bastards

@JourneymanGeek @Dog yea, I thought about buying a dual-VESA stand

@bwDraco I've thought about that, but I really have no idea how the IO part currently works and I have a massive backlog of other things to do.

Of course, gaming is one of those other things :P

;p

speaaaaking of which

BL?

@JourneymanGeek ah... was just about to go out for a bit

ah, nvm then

I'm likely to be unavailableish in the evening

just drove 2+ hours to pick up a cupboard, installed a plaque, and installed a new pipe

PE100 should be able to withstand mains pressure. should

@JourneymanGeek ow

@JourneymanGeek how about in, uh... about an hour?

well yesterday's slot should be ok

yeah, would do

@JourneymanGeek oh, late evening is fine for me

@JourneymanGeek I'll try to make an hour, then. Not really sure how long this'll take :\

@JourneymanGeek @Dog Deluge? I haven't actually used a BT client in a few years now but yea utorrent has sucked since 3.x came out

I actively use qbitorrent

I've toyed with picotorrent, but it lacks one specific feature I rely on

@JourneymanGeek My last seedbox used Deluge. Apparently it's one of the preferred ones now.

(And they had a fast HTTP connection... quick way to grab enough distros to build a 64 GB YUMI boot drive :D)

@JourneymanGeek @Dog One reason I've kinda stayed away from VESA is most dual-monitor mounts seem to clamp onto the desk.

@Bob true

This desk isn't easily clampable.

or direct wall mounts

There was one that didn't, but it didn't look all that stable when the monitors are pushed up front.

@JourneymanGeek I've got a window behind :P

And I'd like to avoid permanent modifications.

I totally cannot do that

Anyway, the Dell and Acer stands are plenty good.

I MUST have a wall behind my PC

Actually, they're nearly identical o.O

Dell has a dual monitor stand option

free standing

It's too messy to take a photo, but they look to have the exact same design :P

actuuuaaally

dell.com/en-us/shop/accessories/apd/…

> This stand supports two monitors up to 24-inches in size.

No love for 27" :(

ah

there MAY be a model that supports that

nothing i have ever clampped to the edge of a board/desk/nightstand has ever done it well.

for 2 monitors the clamp should look like a Vice with some heft

@JourneymanGeek This was the one I was looking at officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/…

Except I keep my monitors kinda angled, so the horizontal stand isn't great

ya

honestly, the stands they come with already do everything a free-standing dual-monitor stand would

a clamped one has the advantage of a really long swing arm, which is nice to use

seen some in the labs at uni :P

That's the nice thing with shitty hand me down desks

If I were using something like that I'd just screw it to the tabletop

we screw everything up here too :-)

Hi :)

morning

@DavidPostill Don't forget laptop battery too.

That website also asks what bitrate to convert through. I have problem with that when I don't know the source's bitrate.

The best option is to use source's existing bitrate with no changes. In other words I just want audio extracted without conversion.

@Boris_yo I download the video and then use freac to extract the audio ...

@DavidPostill There are videos woth 2 hour play time. I am looking for online audio extraction solution.

@Boris_yo So why didn't you say so? ;p

@DavidPostill I mentioned website for a reason.

Otherwise I have WonderShare Video Converter.

Download would take time and bandwidth. Conversion would take time.

Nothing better than FREE SaaS solution today.

Why do they capitalize "FREE"? To subliminally get through your head that nothing is free and if you don't pay with money, you pay with time, if not time, then with energy. If neither then you...

@Boris_yo youtube-mp3.org ?

> All our conversions will be perfomed in high quality mode with a bitrate of at least 128 kBit/s.

@arda Yes, that's the thing. Thanks.

I remember some of services mentioned that they don't support videos over certain duration.

Found this one: en.filsh.net

@arda high quality?

Is DEVC++ good?

!!is it alive

@Dog Yes!

@JourneymanGeek Hmm, thanks

@JourneymanGeek Cause I still have like 2000 torrents in there from 8+ years ago and I've been too stupid/lazy/unable to find something better

@Bob I have a quad vesa stand. One of the most useful things ever

Although it's also one of the most awkward things ever to pack/transport

Is this spam or just off-topic? superuser.com/questions/1140210/…

All bold question? Off-topic. :)

@Hennes :P

Great. So these guys are making us use software that was last updated in 2005 for a competitive programming competition.

Still better than Turbo C++ I guess...

@Boris_yo Oblivion?

o/

@bwDraco yep

so i get half hour free

is it wrong to spend it gaming?

at work?

if you're hourly, yes

I wouldn't be gaming if I'm on the clock. I might use the time to do some light reading online or to chat here, but I wouldn't start up a game.

@bwDraco same

@Rahul2001 As opposed to an uncompetitive programming competition?

@djsmiley2k No

@Dog ._.

all being seeded?

@JourneymanGeek no

Just ancient shit I've not got round to downloading yet

> Australia grows about half of the world’s legal opium, which is used to create pharmaceuticals for human use, though the land’s vast fields of intoxicating poppies are valued by wallabies as well.

Wha

@Dog ...TIL

@Bob @Dog Why... do you still use Java?

Java on client side=RUN AWAY NOW!!!!!!

@Rahul2001 Because nearly all server management tools require it

@djsmiley2k @bwDraco @arda There's nothing wrong with a good ol' game of minesweeper!

It's not like I didn't say a few times...

Anyway, as @allquicatic loves to point out, web plugins and Oracle aside there's nothing inherently wrong with Java programs.

Of course, Oracle is involved in this case, so...

@Bob

@Bob Ironic Typical of Oracle how Java wants to mess with chrome settings even though chrome doesn't support it anymore...

@DavidPostill AW

@Rahul2001 SyntaxError: parse error

Genoa

@Bob huh?

source

A.W.Some.

That cats face... I JUST WANT TO SEE MORE

@Dog /r/thisismylifenow

Wehlp

The most terrifying pumpkin ever:

lol

WHAT THE...? This is not how stuff works!

@Hennes Seems you are not aware...

Does it mean anything?

all hallows eve?

oh wow that one worked first time

so my wife is going out

normally my son has conked out by this time

today? no chance.

Exiting the friend zone is like exiting the Earth's gravity. It can be done and it's even fairly easy to understand how to do it on the other hand in my lifetime only a handful of extremely physically fit and well funded men and women have managed to do it and they were all either freaking geniuses or fighter pilots.

Words of true wisdom

I friendzone everyone who tries to go above friends. Fite me irl, @Rahul2001

@arda Uh. Why?

which part?

Nevermind, none of my business

Friendzoning everyone? I'm a weird person who likes codes more than people.

@arda That's the definition of computer geek

hehe

i just blew some guys mind

he likes to think he's far cleverer? than me, which is fine, he can think what he wants

cept in the time it took him to figure out the mathmatics for the 'average guesses' needed for the 12 coins problem (i've never heard of the problem before) I solved it

@Rahul2001 On a more detailed answer, I view myself as an aromantic person. I never experienced it, and I have no intentions to. I spend my time doing useful stuff rather than trying to find someone, and well, while I had some issues with distancing myself too much, I have a nice CV and well, I had a fun life until now and I believe my actions will help me get a good, fun future.

@arda That's nice, although to some people, having a girl/boyfriend is also pretty useful.

Also, best of luck for whatever it is that you want to achieve in the future :)

s/useful/not a waste of time/

he sleeps, susccess!

@djsmiley2k You're baby? Coincidentally, I've been watching vlogbrothers videos of John's child for the past 45 minutes for some reason

yup

dang, s/you're/your

I'm bored

John is awesome

Hmm. An extra hour of sleep tonight ...

So, do I pronounce LOL as elohel or lawl?

Rant: MAKE SURE THAT IF YOU'RE USING AN ACRONYM THAN THE THING YOU SAY AFTER THE ACRONYM ISN'T IN THE ACRONYM

I put my PIN number in the ATM machine IS WRONG, because that implies that you put your personal identification number number in the automated teller machine machine

@Rahul2001 lol

@Rahul2001 You won't like GNU then :)

@DavidPostill @Rahul2001 Or PHP...

@CanadianLuke I never knew what that actually stood for ;p
