| 16:11.40 | frostyfrog | TIL that lithium Ion batteries don't like the cold... |
| 16:12.58 | jima | Migs: wow. |
| 16:16.19 | spangborn | frostyfrog: yup |
| 16:16.35 | spangborn | My bike light battery life cuts almost by 40% when itâs below freezing |
| 16:16.57 | frostyfrog | My HT battery lasted about 10 seconds when transmitting. |
| 16:17.03 | frostyfrog | both of them |
| 16:18.10 | aeryndunham | ended up buying the BB-8 robot. Can't quite decide if he'll like it or not. |
| 16:18.27 | frostyfrog | Which one? The sphero one? |
| 16:19.37 | aeryndunham | yeah |
| 16:19.46 | aeryndunham | the one someone here linked yesterday |
| 16:19.58 | aeryndunham | Expensive, but still cheaper than a decent drone would have been |
| 16:21.15 | frostyfrog | And it's better than the cheaper R/C BB-8. (The one that's more of a kid's toy with a simplified controller and what not) |
| 16:21.34 | frostyfrog | Good luck, hope he likes it :) |
| 16:28.19 | aeryndunham | Thanks! |
| 16:38.11 | jima | man. the weather here is reminding me of minnesota. |

| 16:43.05 | beelzebob | programmerq: you were in Georgia yesterday? |
| 16:44.37 | beelzebob | aeryndunham: I got a sphero for christmas a year (2?) ago - it is a pretty fun toy |
| 16:44.55 | beelzebob | I've been meaning to hack with it a bit |
| 16:46.46 | beelzebob | Oddly enough, the smog was a major factor in my leaving Utah to move to Georgia |
| 16:46.46 | aeryndunham | I mean if he doesn't like it I'll play with it :p |
| 16:47.19 | beelzebob | it's hard not to like |
| 17:24.40 | frostyfrog | as far as smog goes... https://www.ksl.com/?nid=1314 |
| 17:32.48 | jima | beelzebob: well, i meant the cold, not the smog. i've never lived anyplace else with this much smog. |
| 17:33.10 | spangborn | It's still not quite Duluth cold |
| 17:34.06 | jima | well, i didn't live in duluth, so whatever. :-P |
| 17:34.19 | CrowderSoup | Duluth is cold beyond all reason. I don't know why anyone would live there |
| 17:34.31 | jima | pfft, duluth is no international falls. |
| 17:34.39 | jima | aka frostbite falls |

| 17:35.06 | youtah | and then.... |
| 17:35.07 | youtah | youtah.com/utwxcams.php |
| 17:35.32 | youtah | KUTV is uploading images every 5 minutes to my web server from their cameras |
| 17:35.38 | youtah | so that middle row is from KUTV |
| 17:35.47 | youtah | the one on the far right in the middle row is Saint George |
| 17:36.37 | jima | i was about to ask how you got KUTV to do that...matt blank? |
| 17:38.17 | beelzebob | jima: yeah, I was referencing smog talk in the backlog |
| 17:38.34 | beelzebob | the cold was another major factor for leaving too :) |
| 17:39.16 | jima | beelzebob: oh, i didn't look back far enough i guess |
| 17:39.35 | youtah | jima I take the 5th ;) |
| 17:39.54 | jima | hacker no hacking |
| 17:39.58 | frostyfrog | You've got them uploading to your server now?! |
| 17:40.01 | youtah | yes |
| 17:40.04 | frostyfrog | Naisu! |
| 17:40.08 | beelzebob | The smog was rough for me every year, I sympathize with that eye and lung irritation |
| 17:40.14 | youtah | I am not downloading them... they are being pushed to me |
| 17:41.15 | jima | youtah: i got from that that that meant that, yes. |
| 17:41.28 | youtah | My people talked to their people... |
| 17:41.47 | jima | i'll just assume i know the people involved |
| 17:41.53 | youtah | Si |
| 17:41.59 | youtah | I am thinking of turning this into a map |
| 17:42.06 | jima | that's not an awful idea |
| 17:42.08 | youtah | and then when you click on the icon, it shows the image |
| 17:42.09 | jima | osm ftw |
| 17:42.27 | spangborn | Online Swap Meet? |
| 17:42.27 | youtah | well, and this way, it is my site taking the traffic hit |
| 17:42.33 | jima | openstreetmap |
| 17:42.38 | frostyfrog | Oh, youtah. TIL that the Lithium Ion batteries for my HT don't like sleeping in my car all night >_> |
| 17:42.43 | frostyfrog | in the winter |
| 17:43.58 | jima | youtah: next thing you know, i'll start giving you crap about the lack of ipv6 on that ;-) |
| 17:44.02 | frostyfrog | Also, you're thinking of something like this, but for better cameras? http://utahcommuterlink.com/ |
| 17:47.19 | youtah | lol jima |
| 17:47.39 | youtah | yes, correct. frostyfrog those are great, but are pointed down at streets |
| 17:47.57 | frostyfrog | Who cares about streets anyways? |
| 17:48.00 | youtah | ever since wunderground killed their weather camera project, there hasn't really been anything to replace it |
| 17:48.08 | youtah | other than KSL kind of has something goin |
| 17:48.10 | youtah | goin |
| 17:48.58 | spangborn | youtah: I thought they only killed weather photos |
| 17:49.01 | spangborn | Not the cameras |
| 17:49.51 | spangborn | Webcams are still there https://www.wunderground.com/webcams/ |
| 17:49.58 | youtah | Oh sweet! |
| 17:50.01 | youtah | It's back!!! |
| 17:50.06 | youtah | they pulled this entirely for a while |
| 17:50.25 | youtah | heh |
| 17:50.33 | youtah | they're pulling the utah commuter link cameras |
| 17:50.54 | spangborn | There are some personal cameras too |
| 17:51.08 | spangborn | I added one of the UofU meteorology ones |
| 17:51.26 | youtah | I will need to add the mountain top cameras |
| 17:51.47 | spangborn | You can FTP them photos, or they'll pull them (which happens less often) |
| 17:51.50 | frostyfrog | link? |
| 17:51.55 | frostyfrog | wait, nvm |
| 17:51.57 | frostyfrog | 'I see it |
| 17:52.06 | spangborn | https://www.wunderground.com/webcams/spangborn/3/show.html |
| 17:52.11 | spangborn | That's the UofU one I added |
| 17:52.16 | youtah | Oh great |
| 17:52.21 | spangborn | Oh maybe not |
| 17:52.22 | youtah | now I need to go to the bahamas |
| 17:52.25 | spangborn | it changed lol |
| 17:52.50 | spangborn | Oh that's a NOAA one |
| 17:53.08 | frostyfrog | not sure I like that map :( |
| 17:53.29 | frostyfrog | Not so great in the UX department |
| 17:56.23 | youtah | I want a wind gauge at my house. |
| 17:56.37 | youtah | 23mph? Oh, just a light summer breeze |
| 17:56.46 | youtah | 42... starting to get a little windy |
| 17:56.59 | youtah | 67 oh, the wind's picking up |
| 17:59.52 | aeryndunham | ooh that gives me a great idea for my mom |
| 18:00.01 | aeryndunham | I feel like she has mentioned wanting a weather station |
| 18:00.12 | aeryndunham | I bet you can get easy to use Smart ones these days |
| 18:01.56 | youtah | like $60 from Costco |
| 18:02.06 | youtah | for one of the nicer ones that also pushes to Wunderground.com |
| 18:03.31 | aeryndunham | I need to confirm with my dad but I feeeel like she has always wanted something like that, but when she talking about it it was years ago when it wouldn't have been possible |
| 18:03.53 | aeryndunham | Or, very expensive |
| 18:04.06 | aeryndunham | My dad is getting a Lego set because he is a child :p |
| 18:07.40 | Migs | I bought a Lego set for my son, but admittedly I'll enjoy playing with it, too |
| 18:10.15 | programmerq | beelzebob⸠still here today too. |
| 18:12.21 | youtah | I just shipped my first item to an Amazon Locker |
| 18:12.39 | youtah | anyone ever use an Amazon Locker before? |
| 18:12.55 | youtah | I have 3 days to pick it up, before they return it back to Amazon |
| 18:17.05 | programmerq | I didn't know they had those in utah. |
| 18:19.30 | aeryndunham | ahh haha my dad thinks i am a genius |
| 18:19.34 | aeryndunham | my mom is so hard to buy for |
| 18:19.43 | aeryndunham | and he is like OMG YOU'RE RIGHT SHE HAS ALWAYS WANTED A WEATHER STATION |
| 18:19.49 | aeryndunham | so thanks #utah |
| 18:21.10 | aeryndunham | I'll probably need to fly to Massachusetts to set it up for her though :p |
| 18:22.18 | jima | programmerq: maybe at whole foods |
| 18:22.35 | jima | i also have not used one yet though |
| 18:41.47 | spangborn | I want a weather station |
| 18:41.51 | spangborn | Someone tell my secret santa |
| 18:46.23 | romanovic | speaking of techy Christmas gifts... can anyone confirm whether the rpi 3 has enough guts to run Minecraft? |
| 18:49.55 | frostyfrog | raspberry pi edition, yes. Full blown minecraft? I don't think so (though I could be wrong) |
| 18:50.27 | frostyfrog | https://minecraft.net/en-us/edition/pi/ |
| 18:53.52 | frostyfrog | https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Pi_Edition |
| 19:12.25 | programmerq | full blown minecraft doesn't run on systems that don't support opengl. the pi3 does not. it only has opencl, which is what the pi edition runs against. |
| 19:12.44 | programmerq | the pi edition is C++ minecraft (alongside the pocket edition and windows 10 edition) |
| 19:16.42 | aeryndunham | a raspberry pi is still something I need to get myself at some point |

| 19:32.05 | youtah | Anyway, I am trying out the Amazon Locker |
| 19:32.59 | SunSparc | What is the Amazon Locker |
| 19:34.15 | youtah | I dunno, I am about to find out |
| 19:34.20 | youtah | they are shipping one of my packages to it |
| 19:34.22 | SunSparc | Hmmm... https://www.amazon.com/b?node=6442600011 |
| 19:34.36 | youtah | I am envisioning a P.O. Box, but owned and operated by Amazon |
| 19:34.45 | youtah | Where only the buyer can open it |
| 19:35.05 | SunSparc | Probably save them a ton of money on stolen packages. |
| 19:35.10 | youtah | yeah |
| 19:35.34 | SunSparc | No lockers in Utah... yet. |
| 19:35.36 | youtah | well, and, as an example, if you ordered a $2000 item... would you want them leaving it on your porch? |
| 19:35.42 | youtah | There are 5 |
| 19:35.52 | youtah | My order is literally shipping to one. |
| 19:35.57 | SunSparc | Hmm.. my search came up empty. |
| 19:36.02 | youtah | It allowed me to select it from 5. However, it is only on select Items |
| 19:36.12 | SunSparc | Ah |
| 19:36.21 | SunSparc | Probably still in beta. |
| 19:36.28 | youtah | I would rather drive an extra 10 minutes to a locker, than them leaving it on my porch |
| 19:36.45 | SunSparc | My porch has been pretty safe thus far. |
| 19:37.05 | SunSparc | had something sitting there all last night, apparently... |
| 19:37.18 | youtah | My neighbor had the FedEx guy ring her doorbell |
| 19:37.40 | youtah | she walked up to the porch, and as the FedEx guy was climbing in his truck, a guy grabbed it and jumped in a car |
| 19:37.59 | youtah | She was chasing him down the street yelling, and the FedEx guy chased him down to get a picture of the plates |
| 19:38.15 | youtah | Broad Day |
| 19:38.19 | SunSparc | Delivery truck stalking. Lame. |
| 19:38.36 | youtah | yeah, apparently people will literally follow the trucks on their routes |
| 19:38.52 | SunSparc | That is when a shotgun full of non-lethal rounds gets emptied on his trash,. |
| 19:39.57 | youtah | this is why those locks are awesome |
| 19:40.13 | youtah | However, instead of your front door, you have a locked box on your porch |
| 19:40.26 | youtah | perhaps, chained to something, like a railing or a pillar |
| 19:41.21 | SunSparc | Nah, I will just install a laser-guided missle launcher onto my roof. |
| 19:42.04 | SunSparc | Motion activated cam can alert me to movement and I can decide to pull the trigger on the target. |
| 19:43.46 | SunSparc | Hmm... does not seem to find any lockers in Utah County for me. |
| 19:45.37 | youtah | yeah, they are all in Salt Lake County |
| 19:45.47 | youtah | Cottonwood Heights is the furthest south |
| 19:46.52 | SunSparc | Could be worse. |
| 19:59.28 | aeryndunham | random question - is there anything probably installed on an ubuntu server that would allow me to display images? (it runs a Unity3d application most of the time, so it defenitely CAN display images) |
| 19:59.43 | aeryndunham | wants to throw a picture up on one of our portals for our Christmas party :p |
| 20:00.40 | youtah | sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop ??? lol |
| 20:02.11 | aeryndunham | haha I think it actually does have a desktop running underneath |
| 20:02.19 | aeryndunham | I've seen it get kicked back to a desktop login screen |
| 20:03.24 | aeryndunham | so eog _______ might work |
| 20:04.06 | youtah | eog |
| 20:04.12 | youtah | I just looked up what is running in mine |
| 20:04.35 | youtah | I closed it and this process died 'jeff 20184 2360 2 13:03 ? 00:00:00 eog' |
| 20:04.51 | youtah | yeah, man eog says it is the default image viewer |
| 20:05.15 | youtah | Uses: gdk_pixbuf |
| 20:05.59 | youtah | --display=DISPLAY Allows you to set the X Display to use |
| 20:06.46 | aeryndunham | Someone jokingly said when looking at the decorations "it's weird they didn't change the screens to be decorated" and I was like oH BUT WE CAN |
| 20:10.25 | aeryndunham | hmm not sure I understand --display=DISPLAY |
| 20:12.20 | SunSparc | see list of DISPLAYs? |
| 21:01.37 | romanovic | programmerq: I found one tutorial on setting the raspberry pi 3 up with opengl drivers for minecraft. I'm not impressed with the performance even so, so my search for a budget minecraft pc continues. https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=186547 |
