03:48:31<@JAA>(Not specific to Scotland, it's the same for England and Wales at least but probably many more regional flags as it just uses ISO 3166-2 names with special 'tag' codepoints.)

20:42:35Doranwen is having all kinds of "fun" trying to get one of her hard drives to copy to the new backup she got
20:43:16<Doranwen>I swap out my backups for the originals in my tower when the originals start dying, and then copy everything to the new backup drive - it's a simple system but it's worked for me
20:44:43<Doranwen>except this time attempting to label the backup drive as the name the original had just gave me bad magic number super-block errors, and it's freezing up caja when it tries to go into the folder that that backup drive had all the files in
20:45:04<Doranwen>the files still seem to be fine - fortunately - but I'm starting to wonder if *that* drive needs replacing too
20:49:55<Doranwen>hmm, apparently it does eventually resolve, it just takes five minutes to show me one folder

23:27:27<systwi>Doranwen: I'm sure you've already done this before, but, S.M.A.R.T. check and full block scan?
23:27:42<systwi>Maybe even an fsck, to play it safe.
23:29:09<systwi>----
23:30:10<systwi>So I had a laugh today. I originally had a NordVPN subscription years ago, and since their quality has been going downhill for the past year or so, I let it expire.
23:30:18<systwi>I went with Mullvad instead.
23:30:42<systwi>I was wondering why none of the Mullvad OpenVPN servers would connect on my system, for some reason.
23:31:11<systwi>I thought maybe OpenVPN was trying to contact their servers using the wrong NIC, but that wasn't it.
23:31:42<systwi>Poking around in my network settings I saw a strange IP in the DNS server fields.
23:32:07<systwi>I looked it up and completely forgot I had set those DNS server addresses to, get this, ones provided by NordVPN.
23:32:31<systwi>After removing them I was able to connect to Mullvad's servers just fine.
23:33:28<systwi>Just thought that was funny. Naturally, a company is going to block competing services' domains. :P
23:35:42<TheTechRobo>Reminds me of when my cousin told me he wanted a Pixel because they're one of the only companies where you can unlock the bootloader within warranty.
23:35:53<TheTechRobo>I said, "you know it's bad when GOOGLE is the least monopolising company"
23:36:07<@JAA>*cough* Fairphone :-)
23:36:17<TheTechRobo>*cough* not sold outside Europe :/
23:36:45<@JAA>Yeah
23:37:47<systwi>Aww, Fairphone isn't? I never looked that far into it but I had seen a review on it and thought one would be nice.

23:38:28<Doranwen>systwi: it's on my list as soon as I've got the files copied off - so far they're copying fine, once I restarted the computer (my issues with caja might've been caused by something I did before)
23:39:04<@JAA>Sadly, they removed the headphone connector on the latest one. :-(
23:39:09<@JAA>But otherwise, yeah, is nice.
23:39:43<TheTechRobo>Every damn company. Are my 3.5mm headphones just worthless now?
23:39:48michaelblob (michaelblob) joins
23:40:23<thuban>TheTechRobo: f(x)tec phones come with unlocked bootloaders! you can even order with ubuntu touch or lineageos instead of android.
23:40:26<systwi>Bluetooth is insecure and lame. What is so wrong with a 3.5mm headphone jack!?
23:40:43<thuban>of course, i've been waiting literal years for mine, so...
23:41:02<systwi>If I hook and yank my earbuds out of my ears, that's my own fault!
23:41:33<thuban>(i find this forgivable given the circumstances, but still.)
23:41:54<@JAA>Yes, but think of the poor corporations. They need you to use wireless little buds so you lose them or their batteries die and you buy new ones!
23:42:14<TheTechRobo>thuban: Ok, that looks like a cool phone.
23:42:46<@JAA>A physical keyboard, now that's something I haven't seen on a phone in a while. :-)
23:42:56<@JAA>(I'm sure they exist, but yeah...)
23:43:51<TheTechRobo>I'd probably get that phone (assuming it's available in Canada) if I hadn't already bought a bunch of stuff to make my own. I feel like it'll be helpful for learning (and it'd make me feel really cool :P)
23:44:53<thuban>i _seriously considered that_. but in the end i felt miniaturization was too important...
23:44:58<TheTechRobo>Pro1X has 6/8GB of RAM. On a _phone_. Why?
23:45:13<TheTechRobo>Quite sad that we need that kind of RAM on a PHONE.
23:45:59<TheTechRobo>thuban: Yeah, my phone's going to be a thicc boi. 7" touchscreen, I'm worse than Apple :P
23:46:19<TheTechRobo>Also the Raspberry Pi jutting out the back.
23:46:25<TheTechRobo>Definitely not water-resistent.
23:52:25<thuban>JAA: it's basically f(x)tec, planet computers, and a bunch of variously-vaporware community projects (the most nearly successful of which is the dragonbox pyra).
23:54:20<Jake>The DevTerm is something I've wanted to buy for a bit, but haven't really found a great reason to. https://www.clockworkpi.com/
23:54:53<thuban>oh, and unihertz, which does a blackberry-style one.
23:57:18<thuban>seems like the key to success is hiring people who worked on mobile keyboards back when mobile keyboards were a big deal--the pro1 slide-out mechanism was designed by the guy who did them for nokia, and planet has a bunch of ex-psion(!) people
