Morning
@maleghast good ta, yourself?
I'm taking today off and working my last day for the year tomorrow
oh man 😞
@conor.p.farrell congrats and enjoy the honeymoon at the new place before you discover all the problems. 😄
Going to work with the National Crime Agency (who hopefully don't do any crimes themselves)
@conor.p.farrell are they using Clojure?
@jasonbell - I am well, I trust that you are too 🙂
@conor.p.farrell You still working via EE, or is that entirely separate? Are they Mancs based?
måning!
Also @conor.p.farrell used to work for us, but ran away
They have offices in Manchester/London/Berlin/Portugal/South Africa/Australia/New York AFAIK
<<They have offices in Manchester/London/Berlin/Portugal/South Africa/Australia/New York AFAIK>> Looks like a list of airports to divert to from Gatwick…. glad I’m not flying today, feel sorry for anyone that is.
inspired by @jr0cket I think I might get this and attempt a linux dev environment over Christmas https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/202543404141 rather than caving and purchasing a new mac right off the bat
the deed is done
right.... linux distro suggestions?
arcolinux looks like a nice curated arch setup
oh that's cool
does the slack screenhero thing work okay?
that's hella useful...
yeah, you can do video calls and pair etc, have found it useful when I've been pairing on a bug ticket etc

I thought that @alex.lynham was simply referring to the Slack Client
Oh no there's a screenhero integration
Link for that? They only acquired and integrated that in the last year or two...
If you're happy to go somewhere less trodden, voidlinux has a lovely contribution process.
Haha I went to https://voidlinux.org/ and thought I had some critters crawling around inside my laptop screen
I've been running it on my personal server, and I'm looking to get it setup on my desktop when I can be bothered.
That looks really interesting @dominicm - I am considering building a Desktop machine next year and I would be very interested in using that.
It is like arch but: - different package manager - built with bsd philosophy (simple!) - no systemd
@alex.lynham I use Ubuntu Linux as it just works, 15 mins unatended install and you are good to go. Boots in a couple of seconds. A high quality set of packages shared between dozens of distributions means things get fixed fast and there is lots of choice of software. Having tested against Arch, there is no different in resources used. Biggest impact on resources is the amount of tabs you have open on your browser. If you need to minimise memory use, then simply switch to the i3 window manager and avoid Gnome and KDE packages (I run this setup on an Intel Atom processor with 4Gb ram to play full HD video). If you need absolute control over you Linux install or want to invest time learning Linux, then a good distribution of Arch will minimise the work needed to set up. Or just use Ubuntu and get coding.

@seancorfield it's the original ScreenHero app that is being sunset, now that the service has been added to Slack (paid plans)
@jr0cket Yeah, that's what I thought. That's why I was surprised at @maleghast’s comment.
Ahaaa
That makes sense
