| nisshh | alvin1, can i help you with something? | 12:18 |
| nisshh | oh are you just here to hang out? | 12:18 |
| nisshh | or* | 12:18 |
| alvin1 | nisshh: i have one question | 12:19 |
| nisshh | shoot :) | 12:19 |
| alvin1 | nisshh: I'm trying to find a suitable antivirus, do you have any suggestions? | 12:19 |
| nisshh | alvin1, an antivirus for Ubuntu? | 12:20 |
| alvin1 | yep | 12:20 |
| alvin1 | nisshh: unusally request...I know | 12:20 |
| nisshh | alvin1, ok, you do know about the lack of viruses on linux, etc? | 12:20 |
| alvin1 | yep | 12:21 |
| head_victim | alvin1: not sure exactly what you're after but I'd start with https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Security | 12:21 |
| head_victim | nisshh: if you're running shared drives with windows machines you should still cover yourself | 12:21 |
| alvin1 | I transfer a lot stuff over from windows | 12:21 |
| nisshh | head_victim, i know, im just making sure alvin1 knows, etc | 12:21 |
| nisshh | alvin1, google ClamAV :) | 12:22 |
| alvin1 | has anybody tried clamav | 12:22 |
| nisshh | hehe | 12:22 |
| alvin1 | to quick | 12:22 |
| nisshh | alvin1, i tried it once, its very good :) | 12:22 |
| alvin1 | I heard avg has launched linux edition | 12:22 |
| alvin1 | there is also avant... but I don't have any experience with either | 12:23 |
| nisshh | have they? meh, your better off with ClamAV anyway, no useless advertising and upgrade notifications that way :) | 12:23 |
| nisshh | alvin1, you mean avast? | 12:23 |
| alvin1 | yes that's the one | 12:23 |
| nisshh | yeah, neither have i | 12:24 |
| nisshh | supposedly its ok though | 12:24 |
| alvin1 | I'll give clamav a try and let you know how i get on...cheers | 12:24 |
| nisshh | alvin1, no problem, good luck :) | 12:27 |
| nisshh | what a nice user :) | 12:27 |
| head_victim | Of course, you'd expect that from another bigpond user though. | 12:32 |
| nisshh | haha | 12:32 |
| nisshh | head_victim, actually when he comes back i might let him know about the aarnet mirror | 12:33 |
| nisshh | spread the love! :) | 12:33 |
| sagaci | is he on bigpond | 12:34 |
| sagaci | forget that | 12:34 |
| nisshh | sagaci, yeah :) | 12:40 |
| nisshh | sagaci, us bigpond users are a dying breed :) | 12:40 |
| nisshh | there is only a few of us left in the whole loco :) | 12:40 |
| sagaci | what do people use, iinet internode | 12:40 |
| sagaci | tpg | 12:41 |
| nisshh | sagaci, yeah, a lot of people are switching from bigpond to internode and iinet, but they dont know that you can solve the uptime problems by not using bigponds DNS servers :) | 12:42 |
| nisshh | i have had no net problems since switching to opendns | 12:43 |
| nisshh | bigponds DNS servers made my dns requests time out all the time, so i was unable to access the net all the time (i had dropouts several times a day) | 12:43 |
| nisshh | every day :) | 12:44 |
| sagaci | i haven't had any trouble with my adsl2 connection in two years. I know we pay a bit more, the only thing i'd want is a bigger file server that's unmetered, in addition to aarnet | 12:44 |
| nisshh | sagaci, yeah, but your on internode :) | 12:45 |
| sagaci | at the moment i'm on mobile wireless but the majority of the time i use bigpond | 12:46 |
| nisshh | ah ok | 12:46 |
| nisshh | sagaci, aarnet rocks :) | 12:47 |
| nisshh | the file mirror i mean | 12:47 |
| nisshh | you can get everything on there :) | 12:47 |
| sagaci | the old file mirror was sometimes better though | 12:47 |
| sagaci | ted talks and linux isos are good on aarnet | 12:47 |
| sagaci | not too much else for me so far | 12:47 |
| sagaci | small downloads like vlc firefox etc are non-issue | 12:48 |
| sagaci | and ubuntu updates | 12:48 |
| nisshh | heh, i get all my ubuntu iso's and linux kernel source code from aarnet, as well as using the ubuntu mirror | 12:48 |
| sagaci | wish they'd mirror the dev releases of ubuntu | 12:48 |
| nisshh | it saves me 5-7GB's a month :) | 12:48 |
| nisshh | sagaci, they do i thought | 12:49 |
| sagaci | i'm on the 50gb plan and I used 75gb unmetered last month | 12:49 |
| nisshh | oh ok, only 10.10 | 12:49 |
| nisshh | sagaci, holy crap, what do you download? | 12:49 |
| sagaci | i think you have to ask them but they sometimes just say upgrade from 10.10 using dist-upgrade w/e | 12:49 |
| sagaci | wget -r'd the ted talks directory which was about 35gb and then linux isos, and openstreetmap i think | 12:50 |
| sagaci | only took a couple of hours | 12:50 |
| sagaci | 2.2MB/s | 12:50 |
| nisshh | ah yeah | 12:50 |
| nisshh | sagaci, what is ted talks? | 12:51 |
| sagaci | technology education design | 12:51 |
| sagaci | like presentations on topics | 12:51 |
| sagaci | some are good | 12:51 |
| sagaci | between 9-25m usually | 12:51 |
| sagaci | minutes | 12:51 |
| nisshh | ah ok | 12:52 |
| sagaci | for example http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/TED-talks/JulianAssange_2010G_480.mp4 | 12:52 |
| sagaci | explicit material in that one though | 12:53 |
| nisshh | yeah | 12:53 |
| sagaci | I got into it after watching a richard dawkins and a ken robinson (education guy) presentation | 12:53 |
| nisshh | yeah | 12:54 |
| sagaci | anything else you use aarnet for? | 12:55 |
| nisshh | sagaci, not really, tbh | 12:59 |
| sagaci | the old file mirror of bigponds had podcasts, that's really the only thing I miaa | 13:02 |
| sagaci | ss | 13:02 |
| sagaci | do you have a local ubuntu mirror | 13:03 |
| nisshh | no, i dontr | 13:03 |
| nisshh | i wasnt around when the old mirror was up | 13:03 |
| nisshh | well, i just didnt know about it, tbh | 13:03 |
| sagaci | i used to think it'd be a good idea but when my d/l speed is so good, i don't see the point | 13:03 |
| nisshh | yeah | 13:03 |
| nisshh | sagaci, i have 8mbps, so its not really necessary for me either :) | 13:04 |
| sagaci | do you rsync the isos or just get what you need when you need it | 13:04 |
| nisshh | just occassionally | 13:04 |
| nisshh | when im upgrading/fresh installing really | 13:04 |
| sagaci | i have around 20mbps | 13:04 |
| nisshh | yeah | 13:04 |
| nisshh | i can get that speed here supposedly, but its fairly expensive | 13:05 |
| sagaci | annoys me that it now takes longer to install darn packages than to download them | 13:05 |
| nisshh | and 8mbps is fine for what i do tbh, i can download a cd image in like 10 minutes | 13:05 |
| sagaci | i used to be on 8mbps, ~860kbps, but after switching up, I love 3m 30second iso download and post install download updates | 13:06 |
| nisshh | yeah | 13:07 |
| sagaci | i remember when I was on 256kbps and it took roughly 8hrs to download an ubuntu iso | 13:07 |
| sagaci | even sudo apt-get update was a big event | 13:08 |
| nisshh | sagaci, oh man yeah, i used to be on that speed (last year) then i get 1.5mbps and that was ok, but it doesnt compare to 8mbps :) | 13:09 |
| nisshh | i was on 1.5 for nearly a year | 13:09 |
| sagaci | yeah, i went dialup 28.8, 256, 1.5, 8, 20 | 13:10 |
| nisshh | yeah | 13:12 |
| nisshh | sagaci, i went dialup, 64, 256, 1.5, 8 :) | 13:13 |
| sagaci | each step felt like a breath of fresh air | 13:14 |
| nisshh | sagaci, my computer is so crap and old, my net connection loads the page and actually waits for my graphics chip to render the page :) | 13:14 |
| nisshh | yeah, hehe | 13:14 |
| nisshh | so my net connection is actually faster than my graphics card :) | 13:15 |
| sagaci | i was so happy when I discovered wget | 13:17 |
| sagaci | firefox kept borking dvd iso files | 13:18 |
| sagaci | like 3.1gb into the download | 13:18 |
| sagaci | another tool i like is youtube-dl | 13:19 |
| nisshh | yeah | 13:21 |
| nisshh | i love wget | 13:22 |
| sagaci | yeah and wget -c <3 | 13:26 |
| sagaci | didn't ever think that kind of functionality existed | 13:26 |
| nisshh | sagaci, what does the -c option do? | 13:37 |
| sagaci | continue mode | 13:38 |
| nisshh | ah yeah | 13:38 |
| Blank__ | very handy mode | 13:39 |
| sagaci | oh, and i wish bp unmetered iview | 13:39 |
| Blank__ | we don't watch enough stuff there for it to be an issue for us, but i agree | 13:40 |
| nisshh | yeah | 13:40 |
| Blank__ | i wish the abc didn't make it so difficult for shows to be downloaded from iview, either | 13:41 |
| Blank__ | but that's a pipe dream really | 13:41 |
| head_victim | I just rsync the whole repo :D | 13:48 |
| head_victim | Apparently no one even batted an eyelid at 450+gb of unmetered data in 2 days. No email complaining, nothing. | 13:49 |
| sagaci | then it just downloads the next updates as they come, yeah? | 13:50 |
| Blank__ | oh wow | 13:50 |
| head_victim | sagaci: When it's where I want it properly on the home network I'll just set up scripts to auto update it like a "proper" mirror. | 14:06 |
| head_victim | Now I've got it it will only download the changes, not the whole lot again. | 14:06 |
| sagaci | yeah that's what i thought | 14:07 |
| head_victim | I have 3 Ubuntu PCs here and hopefully a 4th and if I really try my luck with the wife a 5th as well so it's almost worth it. | 14:08 |
