dmcgloneyou have to type the nose01:19
dmcglone: and - and /01:19
BiosElementdmcglone: Hear the awesome sony fun?01:19
dmcgloneno I haven't01:20
BiosElementSony PSN has been down for a week, they just admitted their security was lame and so names, addresses, emails, birthdays, network passwords and logins, probably credit cards, all stolen.01:20
BiosElement+1 for sony01:20
dmcglonehaha01:21
dmcgloneI'm actually a fan of sony :-/01:21
dmcglonePS2 :-)01:22
dmcgloneI never play online though01:22
BiosElementHmm, I never knew you were a fan of rootkits. :)01:22
BiosElementI'm sure sony's a fan of you though, you're one of their dozen loyal customers. ;)01:22
dmcgloneI've only bought the PS1 and PS2, I'm not buying the PS301:23
dmcgloneMatter of fact I was just playing Metal Gear a while ago :-)01:23
BiosElementI feel sorry for you01:24
dmcglonewhat else is there to play?01:24
dmcglone:-/01:24
dmcgloneI have a WII but I'm just too lazy to play right now LOL01:24
BiosElementSony, the same company that goes to idiotic measures to ban 'pirates'. Who steals features from customers and then sues the hackers who patch it back in. And a week later loses all their psn user data. Awesome01:24
BiosElementOh and better yet, waits a week to tell anyone :P01:25
dmcglonewell for 1 I'm not a pirate, I have no ships ;-) 2. they stole nothing from me, cuz I have nothing to steal, and 3. I'm not stupid enough to waste my time creating patches for a multi-million dollar company01:27
dmcglonethey can go fsck themselves01:27
BiosElementHah, it was the Other OS Feature for the PS3 to run linux on it. So it was a direct attack on every single person who brought a ps3.01:28
Cheri703anyone especially familiar with phatch?01:28
BiosElementCheri703: Never heard of it01:28
dmcgloneme either01:28
Cheri703ok, nvm01:29
Cheri703it's pretty sweet, but I'm looking for a specific thing01:29
dmcglonewhat thing?01:29
dmcgloneLOL01:29
Cheri703I need to be able to adjust MANY pictures at once to meet certain requirements (both size in pixels and size in mb)01:29
dmcglonecommand line maybe?01:30
BiosElementCLI is the way to go, probably ImageMagick will do the trick. I think they have some decent GUI's for it. I know digikam can mass-edit photos but I don't think it'd be well suited to what you're trying to do.01:31
Cheri703well, like say "regardless of how big it starts, go to file size 68kb and size 620px"01:31

dmcgloneI just had a thought :-) can a wireless router feed another wireless router so to have greater range and stronger signals?03:13
Unit193You're talking about a bridge?03:14
dmcgloneI dunno03:14
dmcgloneI just read up on bridging, I guess it's basically just setting up another router in "bridged" mode03:19
dmcglonenow my question is, which router will serve up the internet.03:21
dmcglonewill it depend on what area your in?03:21
canthus13dmcglone: The left one.03:21
=== Rinehart is now known as EricR2427
canthus13dmcglone: Actually, you can set up dd-wrt to act as a repeater.  Most stock router firmware doesn't do it, though.03:22
dmcglonehow does the repeater work?03:23
dmcglonewell in terms of "bridged" mode?03:24
canthus13dmcglone: It works by establishing a wireless link to the other router. It just passes data like a switch.03:43
Unit193The more you have, the slower it will be03:43
canthus13Not really....03:44
canthus13the throughput is only going to be as good as the quality of the link between the two routers, though.03:45
Unit193Is that WDS then?03:45
canthus13or the router and 'repeater'.03:45
* canthus13 prefers to use an ethernet link between the two, though. It's more reliable.03:46
dmcgloneI see03:46
Unit193canthus13: Thanks for correcting me on that!03:46
dmcgloneI'm going to get me some rest, I'll see everyone tomorrow :-)03:47
dmcgloneg'night03:47
canthus13dmcglone: Usually, you want to use a wireless link like that with two tightly focused antennas to connect two buildings when an ethernet link isn't practical (Like across a road)03:47
dmcgloneI see03:48
dmcgloneanyway, I'm out :-)03:48
canthus13Cisco used to have a neat wireless planning game that involved setting up wireless networks on alien spaceships...03:49
canthus13https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/docs/DOC-756003:49
Unit193I use a WRT54G v6 with DD-WRT as the second half03:52
canthus13Nice.03:55
canthus13Didn't know they'd managed to shoehorn it into v6...03:55
* canthus13 had a v5 with it... gave it away a couple of years ago.03:56
canthus13I've got a WRT300N and an e2000 running it now.03:56
Unit193If I can, I put Tomato on03:57
canthus13I'm quite happy with DD-WRT. :)03:57
BiosElementAwesome, Yelp sends beer and wine adverts to a minor. What a great plan that is.06:19
Unit193Pandora changed keys06:19
canthus13Unit193: so pianobar has to be updated again...06:23
Unit193Yeah... I found some sweet irssi scripts!06:25
canthus13Unit193: Oh?06:27
Unit193*I think so06:28
Unit193anames will grayout people that are away (otherwise it's just like names)06:29
Unit193chanshare tells you the people that are on the same channels as you. Then screen_away will set you as away when you detach06:30
canthus13Neat...06:32
canthus13Huh. I already had chanshare installed, didn't know it.06:34
Unit193canthus13: Have you used the proxy mode?06:40
canthus13Nope.06:40
* canthus13 will play around with tor at some point, though.06:40
Unit193proxy mode = irssi is BNC06:41
canthus13Ah. BNC/VNC... I don't bother.  I could use shellium if I wanted, but it's too much work for no gain IMO.  I'm not doing anything shady that I need a proxy for.06:41
Unit193Crap... I messed up my config with usercount... there is now the time/network/act bar in my hilight window :(07:10
