06:14 PM andypugh: JT-Cave: I have been messing about in the Droplet. I suspect we do have the requisite access.
06:14 PM andypugh: Maybe just making a “snapshot” is the way to ensure a roolback plan exists?
06:19 PM Tom_L: he may not see this as he is mobile currently
06:25 PM andypugh: Ah, so I should be pinging JT-MShop
06:25 PM andypugh: ?
06:26 PM lcnc-relay: <xxcoder@> jt_mobile
06:26 PM lcnc-relay: <xxcoder@> dunno if hes in here with that tho
06:31 PM Tom_L: he's at the track today
06:32 PM Tom_L: i may have caught him in the main channel
06:34 PM -!- #linuxcnc-devel mode set to +v by ChanServ
06:34 PM JT-Mobile: andypugh, I'm out of town this weekend
06:35 PM -!- #linuxcnc-devel mode set to +v by ChanServ
06:36 PM andypugh: OK, no problem. I don’t really have the space to think about forum upgrades either this weekend, but I have been surprised to find what access and control I do have in the DigitalOcean droplet.
06:37 PM JT-Mobile: cool
06:37 PM JT-Mobile: I just got back from running on the track all day so pretty whooped out
06:37 PM andypugh: I assume you have the same access. I have mentioned some stuff in that GitHub issue.
06:38 PM andypugh: “Running”?
06:38 PM JT-Mobile: I think we both have the same access if you have root access via ssh
06:38 PM JT-Mobile: track day today
06:38 PM andypugh: Motorcycle?
06:39 PM JT-Mobile: C8 Corvette
06:39 PM andypugh: Ah, right, I did two days at Cadwell Park on the bike week before last.
06:39 PM JT-Mobile: nice
06:40 PM JT-Mobile: I'd love to run the Nürburgring someday
06:41 PM andypugh: They banned bikes from there recently (effectively). But I did several laps back in 1999.
06:41 PM JT-Mobile: cool
06:43 PM JT-Mobile: I put some Cup 2 tires on my spare wheels for track day... what a difference
06:46 PM andypugh: A friend took this video, you will see that Cadwell is not like other tracks. It’s narrow, tree-lined and goes up and down a lot. It has been decribed as a “mini-nurburgring” but I think that is something of a stretch.
06:46 PM andypugh: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7AZvTGFqdE
06:46 PM andypugh: I come past him a bit rudely at 3:04 on the 133,000 mile R1 :-)
06:56 PM JT-Mobile: that a cool video
06:56 PM andypugh: It’s quite short as it was a restart after a red flag.
06:57 PM andypugh: But it shows the track. They do race cars there, but I don’t know how they find room to pass :-)
06:57 PM JT-Mobile: a body cam?
06:57 PM JT-Mobile: looks a bit narrow for cars
06:57 PM andypugh: No, it was mointed on the handlebars inside the faring.
06:58 PM JT-Mobile: pretty cool
06:59 PM JT-Mobile: I have PDR recordings of the track day from the
06:59 PM JT-Mobile: C8 onboard camera
07:01 PM JT-Mobile: been a long day here so calling it a day
07:09 PM Tom_L: mini cooper might fit
07:20 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841@> racing motorcycles seems a bit crazy.. 😉
07:22 PM andypugh: The real racers, going very fast, do find one part somewhat “interesting” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbIBBSPKnQM
07:26 PM andypugh: When you watch car racing you can think “Ah, well, they have a completely different machine”. Depressingly there isn’t a lot of difference between their bikes and mine. They are just a _lot_ better than me.
