09:22 AM jepler: me too
09:24 AM skunkworks: me three! what - what?
09:27 AM jepler: hi skunkworks I like pie
09:50 AM alex_joni: that sure scared him
11:06 AM jepler: forum requests to reboot after installing updates, bouncing it..
11:12 AM jepler: .. warning from e-mail that the reCAPTCHA we use is discontinued March 31, 2018
11:13 AM jepler: last time I looked, you had to wade into the realm of bullshit paid addons for joomla / communitybuilder / kunena, except for this discontinued one . I guess it's time to look again.
11:14 AM jepler: License:
11:14 AM jepler: GPLv2 or later
11:14 AM jepler: Type:
11:14 AM jepler: Paid download
11:14 AM jepler: yeah it's a this point that I become enraged and consider just deleting the forum
11:34 AM hazzy: WTH, I kinda though GPL and Paid download were mutually exclusive
11:35 AM jepler: not exactly
11:35 AM jepler: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0-faq.en.html#DoesTheGPLAllowDownloadFee
11:36 AM archivist: but "the fee to download source may not be greater than the fee to download the binary."
11:37 AM archivist: clause after that also
11:40 AM jepler: Debian plans to remove obsolute gnome packagse such as python-gnome2, which is a dependency of LinuxCNC. The removal is likely to happen before Buster [next stable] is released.
11:45 AM jepler: looks like it will affect "halgui"
12:47 PM mozmck: Yeah, everything will probably have to move away from any gnome2 and probably gtk2 stuff before long.
12:49 PM jepler: .. stick with Tk like it's still the 90s
01:17 PM mozmck: Yeah, I use FLTK for my GUI stuff wherever I can. It's hard to beat the simplicity and size.
01:17 PM mozmck: jepler: did you mean "halui"?
01:36 PM jepler: $ git grep gnome -- "*.py"
01:36 PM jepler: src/hal/utils/halgui/canvas.py:import gnomecanvas, gnome.ui
01:37 PM jepler: no, there's something in here called "halgui". tbh I don't know what it is.
01:37 PM jepler: I've updated the signup process on the wiki to use the "reCaptcha v2". If you hear about forum signup problems that may be a result of that, please contact me.
01:37 PM jepler: (it also means the signup process will continue working beyond March 2018, as I mentioned earlier)
01:52 PM mozmck: That's not one of those annoying click-on-the-street-sign things is it?
01:57 PM jepler: that's what it was before
01:57 PM jepler: since the upgrade it was giving me the "I'm not a robot" checkbox
01:58 PM jepler: er actually it was "type in the word on this sign" type before
01:58 PM mozmck: Yeah, it's better than a forum full of spambots anyhow.
01:59 PM mozmck: I deleted some spam and blocked a user this morning.
02:10 PM jepler: thanks
02:30 PM seb_kuzminsky: what happens when you do unit testing but not integration testing: https://gfycat.com/HotOrangeCoypu
09:18 PM skunkworks: I really shouldn't try to make coherent sentences when I am tired. Or in general
11:10 PM hazzy: jepler: sufograph is sweet!
11:11 PM hazzy: I used to spend hour after hour playing with my dads spirograph toy from the 50s. sufograph brings back those memories
