| jfenn2199 | Good evening all | 00:03 |
|---|---|---|
| cyberanger | evening jfenn2199 | 00:04 |
| cyberanger | how's the weather | 00:04 |
| jfenn2199 | White Death 2011 begins! | 00:04 |
| jfenn2199 | Unfortunately the odds of a snow thunder storm have significantly dropped | 00:05 |
| cyberanger | same here I think | 00:08 |
| cyberanger | idk, it's hard to tell | 00:08 |
| cyberanger | netritious: how big is his hdd gonna be? | 00:08 |
| cyberanger | and can you throw in a thumbdrive | 00:08 |
| netritious | cyberanger: not big enough (40G) | 00:11 |
| netritious | I mean, I could squeeze it in there if I had to, but would rather give him that space to do other things | 00:12 |
| cyberanger | agreed, but for what I was thinking, it works | 00:12 |
| * cyberanger pokes excid3|mbp into telling netritious about keryx | 00:12 | |
| excid3|mbp | herro | 00:12 |
| netritious | I know about keryx ;) | 00:12 |
| cyberanger | and I have a script on the same lines | 00:12 |
| excid3|mbp | :) | 00:13 |
| cyberanger | and yet your gonna burn the hell outta some dvd's, well ok | 00:13 |
| cyberanger | :-D | 00:13 |
| netritious | brb in a sec.. jfenn2199 going to look at this White Death hehe | 00:13 |
| cyberanger | excid3|mbp: btw, that script has really worked, still adapting it to fakepository usage | 00:14 |
| netritious | cyberanger: yeah, I mean the dude lives in a rural part of MS that I don't get down to very often | 00:14 |
| excid3|mbp | cyberanger: awesome! | 00:14 |
| netritious | dvd's are cheap too | 00:14 |
| cyberanger | netritious: so a usb drive to the local library is pointless | 00:17 |
| cyberanger | or a boost mobile phone and 15 a month on it | 00:17 |
| cyberanger | it works | 00:17 |
| netritious | he uses landline for phone | 00:17 |
| netritious | the only service provider out his way is dish | 00:18 |
| netritious | well, directv | 00:18 |
| cyberanger | the phone was for internet, but in that case, a linux modem, and 5 bucks a month | 00:18 |
| netritious | he's on a fixed income in the woods man, he's not interested in internet | 00:20 |
| cyberanger | can't blame him | 00:21 |
| cyberanger | the word addict comes to mind (for me) | 00:21 |
| netritious | addicted to the internet? you? noooo, don't believe it :D | 00:22 |
| cyberanger | ok, so I'mm not an addict (denial is the first step ;-)) they have meetings | 00:23 |
| netritious | this guy is a family friend that just needs a computer and some way to maintain it himself since I don't come around but every few years | 00:24 |
| cyberanger | and thus why I did suggest keryx or similar though | 00:25 |
| netritious | another friend, also in the "no internet boat" he lives about 400m/1300ft from my house, so thinking that I might be able to set up a directional antenna to provide some wifi access | 00:25 |
| cyberanger | head to the public library, keep it up to date | 00:25 |
| cyberanger | if you got los, that's no sweat | 00:25 |
| cyberanger | I've done 3 and 5 mile links | 00:26 |
| netritious | los? | 00:26 |
| cyberanger | like to try 30 miles next | 00:26 |
| cyberanger | line of sight | 00:26 |
| netritious | yeah, from the chimney's anyway | 00:26 |
| cyberanger | nothing in the way to degrade the signal | 00:26 |
| cyberanger | tree, so on | 00:26 |
| netritious | might be a tree or two | 00:26 |
| netritious | maybe...not 100% on that yet | 00:26 |
| netritious | I wonder if I would do better with an omni directional antenna instead | 00:29 |
| cyberanger | well, if you can get him and you on a directional, say with a ubiquity bullet, and then each have a local network with omni's that be best | 00:32 |
| cyberanger | easy to firewall off | 00:32 |
| chibihogoshino | netritious: you could get two old dishnetwork dishes and stick a antenna on the front of them | 00:47 |
| netritious | I'm thinking I might use directv dishes since we both have them and neither of us use them for anyhting and don't intend to | 00:48 |
| netritious | *anything | 00:48 |
| netritious | we both used to have dtv but don't anymore and haven't in a long time | 00:48 |
| netritious | change out the LNB for something wifi capable | 00:49 |
| netritious | I've seen a video or two on converting a dtv dish | 00:49 |
| chibihogoshino | that would be cool | 00:49 |
| chibihogoshino | iv seen people just stick a usb wifi adapter on the dish | 00:56 |
| netritious | chibihogoshino: yep | 01:03 |
| netritious | pringle can on a dish :) | 01:03 |
| chibihogoshino | heh yeah | 01:04 |
| cyberanger | it works | 01:06 |
| cyberanger | I've done it | 01:06 |
| chibihogoshino | how far has that gone cyberanger ? | 01:13 |
| cyberanger | at least 5mi | 01:14 |
| cyberanger | haven't seen further yet | 01:14 |
| chibihogoshino | with a usb ? | 01:14 |
| cyberanger | the design should be fine tuned to 30 miles at least | 01:15 |
| cyberanger | no, N Connector | 01:15 |
| chibihogoshino | oh | 01:15 |
| chibihogoshino | cyberanger: did you use two routers or wifi cards for that ? | 01:53 |
| cyberanger | technically routers | 01:57 |
| cyberanger | at that point | 01:57 |
| cyberanger | but it didn't matter | 01:57 |
| chibihogoshino | what was the power out put ? | 01:59 |
| cyberanger | well, idk the gain on the antenna, so I can't fully factor that, but I cut down the power the router had, from 42mW to I think 15mW | 02:02 |
| cyberanger | but that's not peak emitting power | 02:02 |
| cyberanger | which legally must be under 1W | 02:02 |
| cyberanger | (or I can be a ham operator and cook chickens at 1500W PEP) but at that distance, directional antennas, that still might have been more than necessary | 02:03 |
| chibihogoshino | you could light a few neon lights along the way | 02:25 |
| wrst | well cyberanger we do have snow after all shockingly enough | 12:49 |
| wrst | and cyberanger you might want to idnetify yourself | 12:50 |
| Xpistos | How bad is the snow where you all are | 14:11 |
| Xpistos | oh yeah | 14:11 |
| Xpistos | hi | 14:11 |
| Xpistos | wrst | 14:11 |
| wrst | hey Xpistos not bad 2-4" here | 14:12 |
| Xpistos | same as here | 14:44 |
| wrst | sounds like down south got a lot of snow | 14:55 |
| netritious | yeah about 3-4" | 16:03 |
| wrst | cool netritious so you surviving the blizzard of 2011 :) | 16:08 |
| netritious | yeah...turned the heat up lol | 16:08 |
| wrst | ha ha i'm about to go find some early lunch in celebration i think | 16:09 |
| Xpistos | I can't believe there are people with huge trucks | 16:18 |
| Xpistos | that couldn't get to work | 16:18 |
| Xpistos | that live closer than me | 16:19 |
| Xpistos | and I drive a toyota corolla | 16:19 |
| Xpistos | Yeah, I didn't feel bad when the president of the company was in my bosses office and I said "Well, i made it fine" | 16:19 |
| wrst | i made it in bright and early too Xpistos | 16:24 |
| wrst | greetings pace_t_zulu | 16:48 |
| pace_t_zulu | morningwr | 16:49 |
| pace_t_zulu | morning wrst | 16:49 |
| wrst | pace_t_zulu: how's it going? | 16:50 |
| pace_t_zulu | wrst: you can seen i am accustomed to autocompleting your handle after the 'wr' | 16:50 |
| pace_t_zulu | wrst: well, you? | 16:50 |
| pace_t_zulu | wrst: you make it into work today? | 16:50 |
| wrst | ha ha i do it after the pa pace_t_zulu :) | 16:50 |
| wrst | yep not that much up here pace_t_zulu compared to what we have already had probably 3-4" | 16:50 |
| pace_t_zulu | wrst: its nice powder in nashville right now... tomorrow could be bad if it becomes ice | 16:51 |
| wrst | yeah i suspect especially so if many try to get out in it | 16:52 |

| === websiteGOD is now known as Svpernova09 | ||
| wrst | cyberanger: welcome back again :) | 19:44 |
| cyberanger | heh, barely | 19:46 |
| cyberanger | celluar and battery power only | 19:47 |
| wrst | well good to see you what of you is here :) | 19:53 |
| cyberanger | last night I rushed shutting down, killed the client, nearly shut down my server by mistake, in haste | 19:56 |
| cyberanger | and in the morning, power loss | 19:57 |
| wrst | power loss stinks :\ | 20:00 |
| cyberanger | yep | 20:23 |
| cyberanger | not unexpected though | 20:24 |
| wrst | still... as i know they really can mess you up :) | 20:25 |
| cyberanger | back up | 20:29 |
| cyberanger | wrst: naw, not really | 20:30 |
| cyberanger | I mean it can, but precautions already factored both in | 20:30 |
| cyberanger | unfortunately not implemented as what happened, and ideally maintained or setup | 20:31 |
| cyberanger | but unless celluar went down (too localized I expect, car hit the right pole is what I figure) I was good | 20:32 |
| wrst | cyberanger: i am looking to change my setup some so when the power goes off my server will start back up the usb hard drives and it do not get along at all | 20:32 |
| wrst | but the car not so good | 20:32 |
| cyberanger | conserving power by sticking to the G2 smartphone was smart, I'm not where I'd like to be on battery capacity, doable but the downtime was more than I factored for | 20:34 |
| cyberanger | and I wasn't set for what I did factor | 20:35 |
| cyberanger | yeah, you might want to look at your bios boot order | 20:35 |
| cyberanger | and maybe you can shut off usb boot entirely | 20:35 |
| cyberanger | that's not ideal | 20:35 |
| cyberanger | wrst: have you looked at the bios to see if boot settings plays a role | 20:40 |
| wrst | yeah cyberanger no luck there just going esata on it | 20:43 |
| cyberanger | idk if that'd change it, if it's still booting to external hdd | 20:56 |
| cyberanger | guess it's worth a shot | 21:00 |
| netritious | ubuntu-tennessee.org's IP has changed. may take a few hours to resolve. | 21:43 |
| netritious | but it's there, and now should have less trouble using SSL | 21:43 |
| netritious | I got tired of trying to figure out how to force WP to redirect to an alternate port (:500) trying to be stingy with my statics, but after six months of trying on and off again I give up :P | 21:46 |
| cyberanger | you sure it was 6 months | 21:55 |
| cyberanger | we've had the domain for over 11 months now | 21:55 |
| cyberanger | gotta renew it next month | 21:55 |
| cyberanger | glad it's working reguardless | 21:56 |
| netritious | for some reason I was under the impression that you purchased the domain for two years? | 21:57 |
| netritious | I know the SSL cert is for two years | 21:58 |
| netritious | and yes, I'm pretty sure it's around or at six months | 21:58 |
| netritious | since initially the site was hosted on a dedicated VM and was moved to the shared hosting server | 21:58 |
| cyberanger | nope, I think I did say that it'd be covered that long at least | 22:00 |
| netritious | well, initially it was hosted on a free service somewhere and then moved to a dedicated vm Nov 2009 | 22:00 |
| cyberanger | due to ssl | 22:00 |
| cyberanger | or something like that | 22:01 |
| netritious | yeah the SSL cert expires in Mar 2012 | 22:02 |
| netritious | Mar 1 20:53:39 2012 GMT to be exact | 22:02 |
| cyberanger | so it would have been an issue anyhow | 22:03 |
| cyberanger | if I said two years | 22:04 |
| === Worldspice_Will is now known as ZenAdm1n | ||
| cyberanger | if I had it set for two years and split, then you'd be scrambling for a month | 22:05 |
| cyberanger | good thing we got that framework working out | 22:05 |
| cyberanger | however it seems it's been unnecessary | 22:05 |
| cyberanger | but everything is unnecessary until proven otherwise, and that was our track record at that time | 22:06 |
| netritious | not sure I understand what you mean | 22:06 |
| netritious | anyways I'm out...l8rs | 22:12 |
