13:26:55 <Halcyon> Not too bad. Had a bit of a restless sleep last night, so trying to focus.
13:27:01 <Halcyon> Need to go out and get groceries soon.
13:27:03 <Ampera> I should be sleeping right now
13:27:16 <Ampera> we got like 40+cm of snow
13:27:30 <Halcyon> Yeah I was just looking at some of the pictures in the news
13:27:38 <MrMobodies> if fur is more cozy and you have paws, how would you find salmon?
13:27:42 <Halcyon> My mate in DC said it was pretty bad.
13:28:15 <MrMobodies> I heard there was a storm there too.
13:28:29 <MrMobodies> that'd soon be coming over the atlantic
13:29:35 <MrMobodies> you experience any storms?
13:29:42 <steve30> forecast rain for here later
13:30:27 <MrMobodies> 34 mph due to get to 40 at 8am
13:30:40 <MrMobodies> so that must have something to do with that storm that's coming over
13:31:22 <MrMobodies> I found this works to word wrap in the button input. ";white-space:pre;white-space: normal;word-wrap: break-word"
13:33:21 <MrMobodies> not pleased with W3chools, a method that only seems to work with firefox.

13:33:59 <MrMobodies> Text no longer overflows
13:34:53 <MrMobodies> Couldn't get the viewport to scale from or through the Iframes so now just got to resize the buttoms from 100 to 65 for the rest.
13:35:29 <MrMobodies> I'd thought it'd be more flexible, where I could select the panels I want, rather than 3 panels in one fixed.
13:35:38 <MrMobodies> How does that look?
13:36:07 <MrMobodies> It's the disco lightening controls for the tablets
13:36:58 <MrMobodies> Looks like I'll have to make that text smaller too

14:02:20 <MrMobodies> Absolutely disgusting.
14:02:54 <MrMobodies> entrapping or setting traps for the phone owners
14:03:27 <MrMobodies> and manipulation where they think they'd intervene on an attempt to install another os or downgrade
15:31:06 <Halcyon> Just another reason not to use a Chinese handset. Without even going into the issues regarding the CCP, ColorOS is a shit OS. It's deliberately left weak without any proper security.

16:47:52 <steve30> never heard of them before
16:48:52 <Halcyon> Same
16:49:10 <Halcyon> Just looks like another nothing Chinese brand
16:55:22 <steve30> my mother had fibre installed
16:55:49 <steve30> These are the routers they supply. Can't find much about them on the itnernet
16:56:08 <Halcyon> Yikes. They must be cheap.
16:56:12 <steve30> I'm surprised she went with BeFibre, given that she was already with BT
16:56:19 <Halcyon> Most ISP just supply cheap bargain basement crap.
16:57:14 <steve30> tbh the cheap Sagemcom ADSL router that Plusnet used to supply was actually surprisingly reliable.
16:57:34 <Halcyon> Sagem are decent
16:57:53 <steve30> I can't ascertain from the internet whether Befibre do IPv6 or CGNAT
16:57:54 <Halcyon> Even the Techncolour ones are OK
17:10:58 <MrMobodies> I have a few Technicolour ones
17:11:27 <MrMobodies> given to me by XLN well I use them for other things
17:11:53 <MrMobodies> the problem with them is that they expose port 443 to the built in web server and no way to switch it off
17:12:20 <MrMobodies> I have them there incase of any problems with the phone lines when they need to run their tests
17:12:46 <MrMobodies> the older two I use them for the wireless access point and they also have SYSLOG in the engineers menu so that's nice
17:13:22 <MrMobodies> when I say expose I mean on the wan side so anybody could get to it and do whatever
17:13:38 <Halcyon> Most ISPs here block Port 443 outbound, unless you specifically request to have it open
17:14:00 <Halcyon> Maybe not most, but a lot do
17:14:05 <Halcyon> Same with port 25.
17:14:10 <MrMobodies> I remember Talktalk use to do this on their Technicolour routers in 2010
17:14:22 <MrMobodies> and they couldn't advise me how to switch it off
17:16:06 <MrMobodies> I remember finding s 200 page manual for it broadcom IC's, this one had command line and I tried to make some rules using the manual to stop it but it didn't work.
17:16:30 <MrMobodies> so disappointed to see this practice still goes on today
17:17:02 <MrMobodies> that's nice the ISP'S block it by default and make it optional
17:19:43 <MrMobodies> Finished resizing things but the text to still do

17:20:48 <MrMobodies> once I resize the text I think that'd be okay
17:21:30 <MrMobodies> next the moving heads and their patterns
17:25:02 <MrMobodies> https://www.amazon.co.uk/BETOPPER-Moving-Professional-DMX512-Lighting/dp/B075G9GQN2?th=1
17:25:03 <EEVBot> [url] Amazon.co.uk | www.amazon.co.uk
17:25:16 <MrMobodies> the patterns look a lot better there than on the website
17:25:37 <MrMobodies> https://m.media-amazon.com/images/S/aplus-media-library-service-media/2eac640c-a2bc-40fe-9105-3dddb1939c15.__CR0,0,650,350_PT0_SX650_V1___.jpg
17:26:04 <MrMobodies> No that'd make things easy, just to crop them out and put them in some buttons.
17:27:22 <MrMobodies> well night
17:27:33 <MrMobodies> didn't realize it was 6.30am
17:32:32 <steve30> Apparently National HIV Testing Week is next month
