chibihogoshinolol01:31
chibihogoshinoprint01:32
chibihogoshinoim really glad they added samba support in the new thunar01:34
cyberangerchibihogoshino: I'd be more excited if they added sftp support to windows explorer honestly02:00
* cyberanger has seen nothing good come out of samba02:00
chibihogoshinossamba02:01
chibihogoshinosamba over ssh02:01
cyberangeruh.....no02:01
chibihogoshinolol02:01
chibihogoshinoawwww02:01
cyberangersftp and ipp, all the benifits of samba, none of the side effects, like a really nice virus attack vector02:02
cyberangerjust like the lack of autorun in linux (unless tweaked, ugh)02:02
cyberangeryou'd be suprised just how much that gets annoying, the issues samba helps cause02:03
chibihogoshinowho has auto run on in linux02:06
cyberangerI had an IDS system on my computer at two different hotels, tripped alerts that could only be seeking samba machines, disabled that plugin afterwards, since I don't add any samba utilities on my system and it's linux anyhow02:06
cyberangerwho has it, idk, but it could be done02:07
cyberangerand I'd assume if you can automount, somebody's coded an autorun mechnisim too02:07
cyberangersee mp3's fire up vlc, see jpg, fire up gpicview02:08
cyberangersee text documents, fire up gtext02:08
cyberangerall extensions based, and could be set as a default in gnome02:09
cyberangerbut I don't recall anything that did that outright02:09
chibihogoshinoyeah its not standard in linux so no one is going to make a virus or worm for it02:11
cyberangerwell, add to it, the exploit is lower, if it's got no excutable on the drive02:15
cyberangerhowever, if say vlc were exploitable, irrealvant then02:17
cyberangeras I will sooner or later play my mp3's02:17
cyberangerI mean flac's02:18

chibihogoshinolast comment is proof that windows kills everything03:52
=== excid3|mbp is now known as tayne
=== tayne is now known as excid3|mbp
cyberangerchibihogoshino: apperently that includes this channel, oddly quiet17:28
cyberangerhello orias and KidShenck17:28
KidShenckHello!17:28
cyberangerhow's your saturday17:29
cyberangerI'm just updating my repository mirror here17:32
cyberangerfurthering my plans to host a public mirror in a few months17:32
* cyberanger is having a kinda low key saturday17:35
KidShenckLovely.17:35
cyberangerI'd like to have this as an installfest kit17:36
cyberangerhave a computer configured as a local mirror, and a MinimalCD, any tool a person needs, installed faster than you can say ubuntu17:37
cyberangerheh, quiet morning again17:40
cyberangeryikes, I mean afternoon (I can't believe I've been up nearly 9 hours now17:41
KidShenckWow17:42
cyberangerand it's a slow day actually)17:42
KidShenckThat does sound nice.17:42
cyberangeryeah, something of a force of habit, used to work every saturday, had to be there at 5am17:42
cyberangerwould be leaving the place about now, after clocking out and eating lunch17:43
cyberangerand thus I guess why it doesn't feel that long today17:43
oriaso/17:43
* orias is working :(17:44
KidShenckI used to do that, but it was 4 to 11:30, but it was just fast food and years ago.17:44
cyberangerDonuts, months ago, right before halloween17:44
cyberangerand I had to be up at 3:45, out the door by 4:30, or I'd cut it real close17:45
cyberangerorias: well, I did suspect, hostname is comcast bussiness17:45
* cyberanger might as well be working, what I'm doing now is gonna speed up the next work week, hopefully17:46
oriasahh thats just the makerspace :)17:47
oriaswuah hah hah17:47
cyberangernext weekend is the makerspace here (well, my workshop more accurately)17:49
orias:)17:49
cyberangerthat assumes parts arrive in time17:49
cyberangergonna mod a solar powered GL17:50
oriasGL?17:50
cyberangerLinksys WRT54GL17:50
oriasnice17:50
cyberangersorry, should have spelled that one out17:50
cyberangerfurther down the road, I hope to put an rp-sma jack into my Asus EEE 70017:51
cyberangerI've been wanting to do this again for so long, it's blueprints in the brain, and shortened to GL, too excited to burn my fingers with a soldering gun to say the whole model number ;-)17:52
oriaswhat kind of battery are you using for overnight?17:56
cyberangerI figure I'll use 8 NiZn AA batteries17:58
cyberangerthat's definately 24 hours of juice17:58
cyberangerI'd expect somewhere between 36-48 hours17:58
oriasvery cool17:58
oriaseast or west tn?17:58
cyberangershould insure it never goes down17:58
cyberangerI've thought of using a SLA battery, but for the decreased portability, and little gain17:59
cyberangernot worth it for what I'd like17:59
cyberangerEast18:00
oriaswhere'd you get the cells?18:00
oriassolar*18:00
cyberangerI haven't yet, but considering the low draw involved, it won't be hard18:01
cyberangerthe AC transformer is capable of feeding it an amp at 12 volts, but the actual draw is much less18:02
cyberanger500 mA max18:02
oriascoolness18:02
cyberangerso talking 2.5 watts as a realistic avg18:03
cyberangerand 3 watts tops probally18:03
cyberangerI'm thinking what I'd do is grab a few small panels, say 4 that can grab 1.3 watts18:04
cyberangerwhich should be enough to keep it going18:05
cyberangerbut I'd want to upgrade it down the road18:05
cyberangerhigher battery capicity (one week I think)18:05
cyberangerpreferrably with NiZn batteries (as much as an SLA could do it simplisticly, TSA isn't simplistic)18:06
cyberangerand by doing that, it could run in Haiti without grid access, with the possible exception of monsoon season18:07
cyberangerat that point one could still have room for a Hughesnet HN7000S modem (nice travelling modem, but they won't tell you that) a BUC and a guide on improvising the actual dish18:09
* cyberanger is an amatuer radio op. with an intrest in emergency communications18:09
oriasvery cool18:10
cyberangerthing is, aside from the router (and excluding all the hughesnet bit, since I've not gotten to it yet) we're talking 20 bucks at most18:11
cyberangerand vary some bits for a different router, cost is still in that range18:11
cyberangerno reason everyone couldn't do this18:12
oriasvery cool. going to put up links and images?18:13
cyberangerI figure when I do it I will be18:14
cyberangerparts are on the way18:14
cyberangerthe parts list isn't much, the router, some wire, a power connector http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103614&clickid=wish_list18:16
cyberangersome batteries http://www.amazon.com/PowerGenix-PGX-4AAZiNc-1-6v-Voltage-Rechargeable-Batteries/dp/B0029LHXG218:17
cyberangera nice box or two to put them in http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062244&clickid=wish_list18:17
cyberangerand if your wanting to recharge the battries with a solar panel, you'd need that18:18
cyberangeror you could just swap out the battries too18:18
cyberangerrecharge one set, use another18:18
oriasnice18:21
cyberangerif you changed the battery type to a SLA (car) battery, this panel would work nice http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4218514&retainProdsInSession=1&retainProdsInSession=118:21
cyberangerthe panel has to be paired closely to the batteries, and that's why I'm doing this in sections18:22
cyberangereasy enough to get it to run in a backpack, and come back to the solar panel when it's a bigger issue18:23
cyberangerI first want to get it to where TSA won't freak (they shouldn't, but heh)18:23
cyberangerso get the battries right, wiring short18:24
cyberangersomething along the lines of this http://www.voltsxamps.com/?p=53218:24
cyberangerI just want to keep things a little more modular than he did18:24
cyberangereasier to replace a component in the middle of a mess like katrina18:25
cyberangerand plus, linksys's seals stay intact18:25
cyberangerso the hardware warrenty should be intact too18:26
cyberangerand I guess I take back what I said on the cost, I left out the solar panel (but that's still more than all the parts if you wanted to run it off a car, as an example)18:28
cyberangerthe end result is worth it any way you look at it, which is getting communications back up after a communications failure18:33
cyberangerorias: I take it your midsouth makers?18:34
oriasya18:34
* orias will hopefully be using the log of this convo to do the same :)18:35
cyberangerwould this be of intrest there18:35
cyberangerand that answers that18:35
cyberangerI'm sure sooner or later I'll wind up that way again, could probally assist in this if you'd like18:36
cyberangerI think this will be the 3rd time I've done this, each time is a bit different18:36
cyberangerI need to get to each of the cities anyhow, try and further orginize the loco18:38
cyberangerorias: would that be helpful?18:41
oriasthat'd be awesome18:42
cyberangerI'm not sure how your makerspace runs, but I'd be glad to do that on my next trip18:42
oriaswe're pretty informal, we like to soak up any and all info18:42
cyberanger(which I hope isn't too far out, I'd like to beat natty's release, for another meeting)18:42
* orias is busy at work :(18:42
cyberangerah, more or less like the rest18:43
cyberangeryeah, work :/18:43
oriasits too pretty outside to be stuck working >.<18:44
cyberangerindeed18:51
oriasone of my co-workers is big into emergency radio/ham in Jackson19:08
cyberangercool19:11
cyberangerhe might also want to head to midsouth makers for a meeting ;-)19:11
oriashe's too far out :/19:12
cyberangerwell.....19:14
cyberangerJackson to Memphis shouldn't be that far, but anywhere you can squeeze a buck I suppose19:25
vychune_hey guys19:27
cyberangerhey vy..........heh short chat19:33
