01:09:51 *** Flygon has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
01:12:39 <tony_pixel> while deleting savegames
01:12:44 <tony_pixel> something known perhaps/
01:14:20 <tony_pixel> I'll open the issue if it happens again, I don't have time atm for this
03:54:37 *** Phileman has joined #openttd

04:11:26 <jfkuayue> gnumeric > libreoffice calc
04:12:21 <reldred> You’re a few days late from that conversation
04:41:02 *** wallabra has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 480 seconds)
05:00:11 <reldred> and the main point I had at least was that if you've got people far too deeply invested in excel (formulas, vba, etc.) then you're basically stuck unless you can get buy-in from the people who designed them to reimplement them in something else entirely.
05:00:37 <reldred> common trap people get with NGO/nfp types when they try and convert them over entirely to open source.
05:01:51 <reldred> excel and access are probably the two stickiest and most insidious parts of the M$ ecosystem. Just about everything else can be replaced, but an access DB or sufficiently sophisticated excel spreadsheet is a straight up software/database development project.

05:02:23 *** ChanServ sets mode: +v tokai|noir
05:03:13 <reldred> and I still haven't settled on what I want to do for IAM/AD replacement, but I'm running out of RAM in my proxmox cluster
05:03:45 <reldred> got like 10gig of headroom on ram across my three hosts :

06:10:05 <Izzybee> I'm running 389ds for LDAP and it's okay. It's not the whole picture though.
06:11:44 <reldred> Yeah I was considering spinning up a rocky VM or container and doing the full fat redhat/IBM freeIPA deployment
06:12:59 <reldred> but I don't have the ram to throw around for that atm. Only got 16gig in each of my nodes. Rammageddon kinda took me unawares and I wasted money on other crap instead of stocking up on sodimms and nvme when it was so cheap 😢
06:13:18 <reldred> did the networking though earlier this month. Was good to get that squared awayu
06:15:38 <Izzybee> my 389ds containers are using a whole ~128M each but I don't know how heavy those get as FreeIPA and such
06:18:00 <reldred> For me it's an educational piece as much as anything
06:19:15 <reldred> It would be nice to know how to deploy an entirely open source IT stack. I'm quite comfortable with proxmox and nextcloud now, the next step would be freeipa and then redoing nextcloud with auth fully handled by the freeipa server.
06:19:35 <reldred> Basically a basic bitch vmware+AD+sharepoint replacement in a box.
06:39:22 <reldred> I've been toying with the idea of setting up a side business, almost a charity, of helping unfuck IT and get off of microsoft for non profits, etc. Be a while before I'm in any position to do it though. Used to support a lot of them at my last place. Was fulfilling, but I don't expect it to be profitable heh.
08:20:42 <peter1138> Haha, they merged a fix and did a release while I was away.
08:21:00 <peter1138> No problem with the fix itself, but the commit message is... "Fix"
08:26:20 <LordAro> it was YHA Cheshunt, right?
08:27:20 <reldred> I need to actually take a holiday at some point
08:32:16 <Wolf01> I just finished my holiday, went to Skaerbaek fan weekend (LEGO, obviously), I can't decide if this one fixed or killed me :P
08:33:41 <reldred> I should head north and go frollic about in the tropics some, go see the sugarcane trains, and try and not get eaten by crocs taking photos in damp places.
08:34:44 <reldred> alas, the closest thing I'll get to a holiday is going back home to visit the parents after NY and go get my wagon out of storage and take it to my techpriest

11:54:00 <hpiirai> `/usr/local/src/openttd/src/openttd.cpp:125:9: error: ‘_exit’ was not declared in this scope; did you mean ‘_Exit’?`
11:56:49 <LordAro> _exit was unconditional previously
12:16:22 <peter1138> Possibly it should be _Exit. The header changes in #16039 are likely the cause of this.
12:47:21 <jfkuayue> Cheshunt is a good place to have accommodation with privacy near London
12:52:54 <_glx_> but our CI runs have no issue with the header changes
12:58:54 <peter1138> Our CI doesn't build for *BSD.
12:59:15 <LordAro> ah yes, /usr/local/src. good cach
12:59:16 <peter1138> Someone was, can't remember if it was hpiirai though.
14:16:36 *** will_marshall_ has joined #openttd
14:16:36 <will_marshall_> >< this close to crashing out and the straw that breaks the camel's back is going to be visual studio
14:17:16 <will_marshall_> debugging something and i have find results tabs docked, end the debugging session and of course it switches back to the other layout and the find results are gone again
14:17:43 <will_marshall_> getting them back is easy but the process of getting the menu back up was so nearly the thing that made me kick the power switch and go take a nap
14:28:35 <mmtunligit> im getting similarly infuriated by UE4
14:30:06 <mmtunligit> we love our big beautiful industry standard programs that DONT WORK
