00:54:45 <MrMobodies> Disgusting
00:55:10 <MrMobodies> I don't want to talk to an animation in my pocket controlled by a bunch of flow diagrams.
00:55:29 <MrMobodies> "Accessing healthcare will be quicker than ever thanks to expanded features on the app"
00:55:45 <MrMobodies> I could do that in 2010, by a simple phone to my surgery.
00:56:01 <MrMobodies> I didn't have to do nothing else but call a number and that's it
00:57:09 <MrMobodies> "My NHS GP - book a remote or face-to-face appointment and receive personalised health advice using a new AI tool"
00:57:33 <MrMobodies> Who find that insulting? An animation pretending to be a real life doctor?
00:59:39 <MrMobodies> They make it sound to me they like it is FUN booking appointments with doctors but I only see one when I am in SICK for a proper evaluation.
01:01:27 <MrMobodies> I don't have a stupid smartphone capable of a stupid app and have no intention on using that rubbish that gives me questionnaires to possibly mitgiate and deny me medical care.
01:04:44 <MrMobodies> Steve30, how do you find that? You book your appointment using an app and a animation appears on your screen in place of the doctor?
01:05:30 <MrMobodies> Damn, he's not here. oh well.
01:10:13 <MrMobodies> Joke: I wonder, did Wes Streeting used an APP and see an abominiation of a doctor in his pocket instead of a real one for his cancer are?

01:57:49 Quit: motosteve ([email protected]) Quit: Goodbye Moto
03:17:33 <Ysjoelfir> steve30, I assume the motosteve is the you, too? :D Yeah, my telephone system was updated, we use TEAMS now. I'm not sure about the rest of the reference though?
03:18:30 <steve30> motosteve is me on a motorola smartphone
03:18:53 <Ysjoelfir> oh? do they still make them? I always liked these
03:19:18 <steve30> I got a g06 which is a cheap one. Its not as good an my Sony xperia but its very good for £70
03:20:16 <rust_collector> I wish my sony did not crack its screen, a week after I got it. it was pretty good, lol
03:21:01 <steve30> Ampera was debating your political views the other day, at which point I got wondering whether ysjoelfir finally updated his work's phone system :D
03:21:44 <steve30> The Sonys actually proved to be very sturdy. It just suffered some unfortunate impact damage.
03:21:58 <rust_collector> yep
03:22:23 <rust_collector> mine was also more computer, than the rest of my computers combined
03:22:38 <steve30> I think they key with such devices is that if they are frustrating you for some reason, calmly switch it off and put it away and do something else, and don't smash it again a wall...
03:23:06 <rust_collector> oh
03:24:16 <Ysjoelfir> ah, that one. yeah, I was told by several people. funny how one thinks its fair to judge other people, without them being able to comment. especially if said person was told by me numerous times that I have absolutely nothing against trans people, and that one can prefer a political party without agreeing to every point they have.
03:24:57 <Ysjoelfir> but, thats probably just me being tolerant about other peoples opinions

15:04:02 <MrMobodies> Hello
15:04:10 <MrMobodies> need some advice
15:04:16 <MrMobodies> https://i.postimg.cc/mT4f9p2k/keene-IR-IP-routing.jpg
15:04:53 <MrMobodies> Rather than have 8 machines or virtual machines running Eventghost
15:05:32 <MrMobodies> is there anything I can do with Pfsense
15:06:27 <MrMobodies> so if I direct the Keene IR plugin to an IP on the Pfsense firewall, and it gets sent to the KeeneIR Matrix and it'd look like it is coming from on of the IP on the table above.
15:06:53 <MrMobodies> Do you think this might be possible?

22:34:39 <steve30> thats better
22:34:50 <Ysjoelfir> no dualsteveing?
22:35:02 <Halcyon> I just tucked my other half into bed, he has an early start, I'm continuing to do things on the computer
22:35:02 * steve30 moved to the thinkpad
22:36:02 <Ysjoelfir> I'm tired. this night was crap. again. tiny one doesn't want to sleep much atm. So I tugged the misses in, managed to get the little pooper to sleep, and... well, get up from the floor and roam around now, being hungry
22:37:12 <Halcyon> Gah, children
22:38:23 <Ysjoelfir> yep
22:38:37 * Ysjoelfir gnaws on Halcyon 's ankle
22:38:41 <Halcyon> You're a braver man than I
22:39:00 <steve30> i guess Halcyon and i are conveniently exempt from that :p
22:39:03 <Ysjoelfir> huuuungry. I shall go hunt something from the fridge that makes no sound
22:39:15 <Halcyon> Yoghurt ?
22:39:19 <Ysjoelfir> you can always adopt one of these little fuckers?
22:39:24 <Halcyon> No thanks.
22:39:38 * steve30 suggests kittens instead
22:39:40 <Ysjoelfir> joghurt... with cornflakes and Musli. I like the idea. maybe cut in some of these very dark bananas I have
22:39:42 <Halcyon> It's your fuck-spawn, you deal with it
22:39:50 <Ysjoelfir> xD
22:40:20 <steve30> i went in the local Greggs this morning. Never seen it so busy.
22:42:12 <Halcyon> What did you get?
22:42:41 <steve30> steak bake and chocolate cookie
22:43:44 <Halcyon> It seems so simple, but I want to try the sausage, baked beans and cheese thing.
22:47:18 * steve30 wonders whether to go to international womens day tonight
22:48:01 <Ysjoelfir> I recently made a new batch of sausages. chilli with dates and maple syrup. these were incredibly good. should make another one
22:49:39 <Ysjoelfir> but first, this nice breakfast/almost-13:00 food thing. joghurt, some oats, very ripe banana, frog spawn... erm I mean, Chia seeds, and, because I feel like shit today, I allowed myself a big spoonful of date syrup + drowned that in almond milk. should be ok
22:49:54 <Ysjoelfir> looks like vomit though
22:50:57 <Ysjoelfir> eh, tastes nice enough
22:51:23 * steve30 hisses at DVB-T2
22:52:44 <Ysjoelfir> is that still a thing? I hated it already back in my apprenticeship
22:53:08 <steve30> I do hope detector vans don't detect yt-dlp :p
22:53:45 <Ysjoelfir> "lets move the antenna 2mm further to the right.... ok, RTL is good now... damn, ARD is gone. oh, lets try to cable-tie the antenna to the curtain rod, hanging upside down! that gave great reception last time!"
