[00:32] caryb: thanks for updating the wiki :D [00:32] I've just added it to the loco directory as an event as well. === Nozy1 is now known as Nozy [12:17] hey guys [12:17] alvin1, yo :) [12:17] alvin1, hows that for a quick reply? :) [12:18] nisshh: much faster than me lol [12:18] hehe [12:18] alvin1, can i help you with something? [12:18] oh are you just here to hang out? [12:18] or* [12:19] nisshh: i have one question [12:19] shoot :) [12:19] nisshh: I'm trying to find a suitable antivirus, do you have any suggestions? [12:20] alvin1, an antivirus for Ubuntu? [12:20] yep [12:20] nisshh: unusally request...I know [12:20] alvin1, ok, you do know about the lack of viruses on linux, etc? [12:21] yep [12:21] alvin1: not sure exactly what you're after but I'd start with https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Security [12:21] nisshh: if you're running shared drives with windows machines you should still cover yourself [12:21] I transfer a lot stuff over from windows [12:21] head_victim, i know, im just making sure alvin1 knows, etc [12:22] alvin1, google ClamAV :) [12:22] has anybody tried clamav [12:22] hehe [12:22] to quick [12:22] alvin1, i tried it once, its very good :) [12:22] I heard avg has launched linux edition [12:23] there is also avant... but I don't have any experience with either [12:23] have they? meh, your better off with ClamAV anyway, no useless advertising and upgrade notifications that way :) [12:23] alvin1, you mean avast? [12:23] yes that's the one [12:24] yeah, neither have i [12:24] supposedly its ok though [12:24] I'll give clamav a try and let you know how i get on...cheers [12:27] alvin1, no problem, good luck :) [12:27] what a nice user :) [12:32] Of course, you'd expect that from another bigpond user though. [12:32] haha [12:33] head_victim, actually when he comes back i might let him know about the aarnet mirror [12:33] spread the love! :) [12:34] is he on bigpond [12:34] forget that [12:40] sagaci, yeah :) [12:40] sagaci, us bigpond users are a dying breed :) [12:40] there is only a few of us left in the whole loco :) [12:40] what do people use, iinet internode [12:41] tpg [12:42] 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 :) [12:43] i have had no net problems since switching to opendns [12:43] 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) [12:44] every day :) [12:44] 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 [12:45] sagaci, yeah, but your on internode :) [12:46] at the moment i'm on mobile wireless but the majority of the time i use bigpond [12:46] ah ok [12:47] sagaci, aarnet rocks :) [12:47] the file mirror i mean [12:47] you can get everything on there :) [12:47] the old file mirror was sometimes better though [12:47] ted talks and linux isos are good on aarnet [12:47] not too much else for me so far [12:48] small downloads like vlc firefox etc are non-issue [12:48] and ubuntu updates [12:48] heh, i get all my ubuntu iso's and linux kernel source code from aarnet, as well as using the ubuntu mirror [12:48] wish they'd mirror the dev releases of ubuntu [12:48] it saves me 5-7GB's a month :) [12:49] sagaci, they do i thought [12:49] i'm on the 50gb plan and I used 75gb unmetered last month [12:49] oh ok, only 10.10 [12:49] sagaci, holy crap, what do you download? [12:49] i think you have to ask them but they sometimes just say upgrade from 10.10 using dist-upgrade w/e [12:50] wget -r'd the ted talks directory which was about 35gb and then linux isos, and openstreetmap i think [12:50] only took a couple of hours [12:50] 2.2MB/s [12:50] ah yeah [12:51] sagaci, what is ted talks? [12:51] technology education design [12:51] like presentations on topics [12:51] some are good [12:51] between 9-25m usually [12:51] minutes [12:52] ah ok [12:52] for example http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/TED-talks/JulianAssange_2010G_480.mp4 [12:53] explicit material in that one though [12:53] yeah [12:53] I got into it after watching a richard dawkins and a ken robinson (education guy) presentation [12:54] yeah [12:55] anything else you use aarnet for? [12:59] sagaci, not really, tbh [13:02] the old file mirror of bigponds had podcasts, that's really the only thing I miaa [13:02] ss [13:03] do you have a local ubuntu mirror [13:03] no, i dontr [13:03] i wasnt around when the old mirror was up [13:03] well, i just didnt know about it, tbh [13:03] 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] yeah [13:04] sagaci, i have 8mbps, so its not really necessary for me either :) [13:04] do you rsync the isos or just get what you need when you need it [13:04] just occassionally [13:04] when im upgrading/fresh installing really [13:04] i have around 20mbps [13:04] yeah [13:05] i can get that speed here supposedly, but its fairly expensive [13:05] annoys me that it now takes longer to install darn packages than to download them [13:05] and 8mbps is fine for what i do tbh, i can download a cd image in like 10 minutes [13:06] i used to be on 8mbps, ~860kbps, but after switching up, I love 3m 30second iso download and post install download updates [13:07] yeah [13:07] i remember when I was on 256kbps and it took roughly 8hrs to download an ubuntu iso [13:08] even sudo apt-get update was a big event [13:09] 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] i was on 1.5 for nearly a year [13:10] yeah, i went dialup 28.8, 256, 1.5, 8, 20 [13:12] yeah [13:13] sagaci, i went dialup, 64, 256, 1.5, 8 :) [13:14] each step felt like a breath of fresh air [13:14] 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] yeah, hehe [13:15] so my net connection is actually faster than my graphics card :) [13:17] i was so happy when I discovered wget [13:18] firefox kept borking dvd iso files [13:18] like 3.1gb into the download [13:19] another tool i like is youtube-dl [13:21] yeah [13:22] i love wget [13:26] yeah and wget -c <3 [13:26] didn't ever think that kind of functionality existed [13:37] sagaci, what does the -c option do? [13:38] continue mode [13:38] ah yeah [13:39] very handy mode [13:39] oh, and i wish bp unmetered iview [13:40] we don't watch enough stuff there for it to be an issue for us, but i agree [13:40] yeah [13:41] i wish the abc didn't make it so difficult for shows to be downloaded from iview, either [13:41] but that's a pipe dream really [13:48] I just rsync the whole repo :D [13:49] Apparently no one even batted an eyelid at 450+gb of unmetered data in 2 days. No email complaining, nothing. [13:50] then it just downloads the next updates as they come, yeah? [13:50] oh wow [14:06] 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] Now I've got it it will only download the changes, not the whole lot again. [14:07] yeah that's what i thought [14:08] 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. === chesty` is now known as chesty
