[01:03] <dmcglone> :-)
[01:18] <canthus13> :/
[01:18] <BiosElement> :\
[01:19] <dmcglone> :-/
[01:19] <dmcglone> you have to type the nose
[01:19] <dmcglone> : and - and /
[01:19] <BiosElement> dmcglone: Hear the awesome sony fun?
[01:20] <dmcglone> no I haven't
[01:20] <BiosElement> Sony 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 sony
[01:21] <dmcglone> haha
[01:21] <dmcglone> I'm actually a fan of sony :-/
[01:22] <dmcglone> PS2 :-)
[01:22] <dmcglone> I never play online though
[01:22] <BiosElement> Hmm, I never knew you were a fan of rootkits. :)
[01:22] <BiosElement> I'm sure sony's a fan of you though, you're one of their dozen loyal customers. ;)
[01:23] <dmcglone> I've only bought the PS1 and PS2, I'm not buying the PS3
[01:23] <dmcglone> Matter of fact I was just playing Metal Gear a while ago :-)
[01:24] <BiosElement> I feel sorry for you
[01:24] <dmcglone> what else is there to play?
[01:24] <dmcglone> :-/
[01:24] <dmcglone> I have a WII but I'm just too lazy to play right now LOL
[01:24] <BiosElement> Sony, 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. Awesome
[01:25] <BiosElement> Oh and better yet, waits a week to tell anyone :P
[01:27] <dmcglone> well 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 company
[01:27] <dmcglone> they can go fsck themselves
[01:28] <BiosElement> Hah, 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] <Cheri703> anyone especially familiar with phatch?
[01:28] <BiosElement> Cheri703: Never heard of it
[01:28] <dmcglone> me either
[01:29] <Cheri703> ok, nvm
[01:29] <Cheri703> it's pretty sweet, but I'm looking for a specific thing
[01:29] <dmcglone> what thing?
[01:29] <dmcglone> LOL
[01:29] <Cheri703> I need to be able to adjust MANY pictures at once to meet certain requirements (both size in pixels and size in mb)
[01:30] <dmcglone> command line maybe?
[01:31] <BiosElement> CLI 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] <Cheri703> well, like say "regardless of how big it starts, go to file size 68kb and size 620px"
[01:32] <dmcglone> digikam
[03:13] <dmcglone> I just had a thought :-) can a wireless router feed another wireless router so to have greater range and stronger signals?
[03:14] <Unit193> You're talking about a bridge?
[03:14] <dmcglone> I dunno
[03:19] <dmcglone> I just read up on bridging, I guess it's basically just setting up another router in "bridged" mode
[03:21] <dmcglone> now my question is, which router will serve up the internet.
[03:21] <dmcglone> will it depend on what area your in?
[03:21] <canthus13> dmcglone: The left one.
[03:22] <canthus13> dmcglone: Actually, you can set up dd-wrt to act as a repeater.  Most stock router firmware doesn't do it, though.
[03:23] <dmcglone> how does the repeater work?
[03:24] <dmcglone> well in terms of "bridged" mode?
[03:43] <canthus13> dmcglone: It works by establishing a wireless link to the other router. It just passes data like a switch.
[03:43] <Unit193> The more you have, the slower it will be
[03:44] <canthus13> Not really....
[03:45] <canthus13> the throughput is only going to be as good as the quality of the link between the two routers, though.
[03:45] <Unit193> Is that WDS then?
[03:45] <canthus13> or the router and 'repeater'.
[03:46]  * canthus13 prefers to use an ethernet link between the two, though. It's more reliable.
[03:46] <dmcglone> I see
[03:46] <Unit193> canthus13: Thanks for correcting me on that!
[03:47] <dmcglone> I'm going to get me some rest, I'll see everyone tomorrow :-)
[03:47] <dmcglone> g'night
[03:47] <canthus13> dmcglone: 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)
[03:48] <dmcglone> I see
[03:48] <dmcglone> anyway, I'm out :-)
[03:49] <canthus13> Cisco used to have a neat wireless planning game that involved setting up wireless networks on alien spaceships...
[03:49] <canthus13> https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/docs/DOC-7560
[03:52] <Unit193> I use a WRT54G v6 with DD-WRT as the second half
[03:55] <canthus13> Nice.
[03:55] <canthus13> Didn't know they'd managed to shoehorn it into v6...
[03:56]  * canthus13 had a v5 with it... gave it away a couple of years ago.
[03:56] <canthus13> I've got a WRT300N and an e2000 running it now.
[03:57] <Unit193> If I can, I put Tomato on
[03:57] <canthus13> I'm quite happy with DD-WRT. :)
[06:19] <BiosElement> Awesome, Yelp sends beer and wine adverts to a minor. What a great plan that is.
[06:19] <Unit193> Pandora changed keys
[06:23] <canthus13> Unit193: so pianobar has to be updated again...
[06:25] <Unit193> Yeah... I found some sweet irssi scripts!
[06:27] <canthus13> Unit193: Oh?
[06:28] <Unit193> *I think so
[06:29] <Unit193> anames will grayout people that are away (otherwise it's just like names)
[06:30] <Unit193> chanshare tells you the people that are on the same channels as you. Then screen_away will set you as away when you detach
[06:32] <canthus13> Neat...
[06:34] <canthus13> Huh. I already had chanshare installed, didn't know it.
[06:40] <Unit193> canthus13: Have you used the proxy mode?
[06:40] <canthus13> Nope.
[06:40]  * canthus13 will play around with tor at some point, though.
[06:41] <Unit193> proxy mode = irssi is BNC
[06:41] <canthus13> Ah. 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.
[07:10] <Unit193> Crap... I messed up my config with usercount... there is now the time/network/act bar in my hilight window :(
