[15:48] hows all doing? [15:48] hiya kbmonkey [15:48] Hey monkeyman [15:48] ek's nog hierso Kilos, was n bietjie weg vir die naweek gewees [15:49] ek het n lekker prob vir julle slimmes [15:49] i use iftop to monitor network action [15:51] as soon as i connect to vodacom there is some site that i get the address as europium.canonical.com:ntp [15:51] thats apart from the vodacom ones [15:51] and it uses between 15b and 300b evry 20 to 30 seconds [15:52] sounds like the time server [15:52] jip it does [15:52] http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CCYQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ntp.org%2F&rct=j&q=ntp&ei=LQUjTvGLF4rKrAeSxYX7AQ&usg=AFQjCNG_N99i2zsTp4HsHRjA8pPtV8anig&sig2=kdI-dFr-e_1_IdmagblrXQ&cad=rja [15:52] how do i configure network manager to ignore it or disable it [15:52] seeing that the port is the NTP port [15:52] Kilos: sudo gedit /etc/ntpd.conf [15:52] comment alle lyne uit wat met server begin [15:53] of gaan na die date&time gui [15:53] there should be a GUI also that you can say not to use NTP in time and date prefrences I am sure [15:53] en disable die internet syncing [15:53] :) [15:53] ok i go try edit [15:53] ek persoonlik wil juis he^ my PC moet oor die netwerk sy tyd sync [15:53] * nlsthzn is mostly lost in Linux land so to actually have half a clue on something makes him feel all warm and fuzzy inside [15:54] maar mens kan deesdae nie uit die gui uit die server kies nie [15:54] so dan moet ek die conf file edit [15:54] ya thats why i did that originally kbmonkey but now data is more important [15:54] A lot of distro's gives you the option when installing to use ntp and to choose your server... I guess that is seen as to advanced for Ubuntu [15:54] *Kerbero [15:54] hehe [15:55] they just force you to use the canonical servers these days [15:55] that file is empty [15:55] sigh [15:55] dalk is dit ntp.conf [15:56] also empty [15:56] just realised i don't have ntp on my netbook [15:57] but now you say its for time updating i think i can find it [15:57] daar is 'n gui wat ek oop het voor my [15:57] Time & Date [15:58] * Symmetria looks at his travel itinerary for august and cries [15:58] hy staan op "Set Time: ... Automatically from the internet" selected [15:58] cpt -> jnb -> lnd -> fra -> ams -> fra -> jnb -> acc -> els -> cpt -> jnb -> kla -> jnb -> cpt <=== my airport routing for the first 23 days of august :P [15:58] mens moet dit dan net op manually sit [15:59] ya [15:59] en manual [15:59] Symmetria: sucks to be you... then again I would love to see all those countries, even just briefly [15:59] Symmetria: but you're paid for it [15:59] ek is skere dis hy. dankie kbmonkey [15:59] and likely you fly business class [15:59] heh Kerbero true, but its very very very tiring and no, they dont fly you business class unless you burn miles to upgrade [15:59] ok [16:00] heh that much flying is totally exhausting [16:00] in that case i will agree with you [16:00] one internasional flight+connecting flight+3 hours on the train almost killed me [16:00] when i came back it was the same in reverse, but much easier [16:01] heh, I also need to get to cameroon, kenya and rwanda by the end of the year [16:01] and probably one more trip to tanzania and one to mauritius [16:02] i havn't been in africa yet [16:03] heh, I've done africa fairly extensively (egypt, uganda, malawi, namibia, south africa, tanzania, kenya, ghana and a few others I cant remeber) [16:03] you've been to south africa? [16:03] :P [16:04] heh, then again, I've done the world fairly extensively [16:04] i still need to see america and australia [16:05] Symmetria: when you are in ams, what language do you speak? [16:05] brazil, USA, Canada, UK, Ireland, Italy, Germany, Spain, The Netherlands, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Egypt, Uganda, Malawi, Namibia, Tanzania, Kenya, Ghana [16:05] I'm sure there are a few I've missed on that list [16:05] English [16:05] can't you speak afrikaans? [16:06] heh, I can speak and understand basic afrikaans, but have you ever actually tried to communicate with the dutch in afrikaans? [16:06] :P good luck [16:06] lol [16:06] i communicate with them in dutch [16:06] so no prob [16:06] they can understand you fine, I think you'll have issues trying to understand them :P [16:06] oh, you speak dutch? [16:06] jip [16:06] heh, I can follow afrikaans fairly easily, I CANNOT follow dutch for shit :) [16:06] lol [16:08] If they speak slowly, I can understand dutch [16:08] :P have you ever met a dutch person that does anything slowly? [16:09] unless they have been hanging in their coffee shops :P [16:09] lol [16:09] then the whole world slows down [16:10] one shouldn't go to a coffe shop in Ams [16:10] oh yes one should :P [16:10] they are awesome places :P [16:10] nah [16:10] the "local" ones are better [16:10] some of their pizza shops sell awesome pizza as well, their space pizza goes down like a treat :P [16:10] it just makes you kinda hungry [16:10] those in the city are meant for tourists [16:11] hehe [16:11] normally there is a pizza shop right next door to the coffee shop [16:11] heh, there are plenty of coffee shops that arent in the RLD though, hidden away, that my dutch friends take me to :P [16:11] ok, that's better [16:11] I've been more stoned off dutch pizza than anything Ive ever smoked there :P [16:11] lol [16:12] lol [16:12] seriously, beware of dutch pizza [16:12] and dutch chocolate [16:12] :P [16:12] and well, dutch anything with space infront of the name [16:12] dutch chocolate is awesome [16:13] lol [16:13] and stay very very far away from a place called "the headshop" [16:13] my parents brought me a stash chocolate again [16:13] because anything you buy off that menu, will screw with your head in ways you dont even understand [16:14] so i guess the pizzas normally come with shrooms [16:14] compile/tsunami-udp/client/tsunami --dlrate=1500Mb [16:14] ooops [16:14] Kerbero no, they mix ground up weed into the flour they make the base with [16:15] o ok [16:15] lol [16:15] LOT of it :P [16:15] that can be bad [16:15] yes :P you don't realize you're geting stoned till you've eaten the whole pizza [16:15] and then it hits you all at once [16:15] and you're completely screwed [16:15] hehe [16:16] * Kerbero won't spill the beans now, but had a roughly the same experience [16:20] * Symmetria goes for a smoke while he waits for 50gigs of files to download from london [16:20] heh, doing 700mbit/second, this shouldnt take 2 long :P [16:21] why so slow? [16:21] heh disks I'm reading off are hell busy [16:21] so slowing it down [16:21] more than adequate bandwidth/disk write capacity on the .za end [16:21] but the london end is running kinda hot on the disks because of other I/O [16:21] ok [16:22] normally would be running at about 1.5 gigabit [17:21] sleep tight all of you. see you tomorrow [17:21] aw i forgot [17:22] MxG, introduce your self. what you do? what OS you use etc [17:22] if you need help just ask [17:24] :) night uncle Kilos [17:24] i just waiting to hear from MxG nlsthzn [17:24] he is new here [17:27] MxG: hello :) [17:28] You can go to bed Kilos ... we will look after MxG while you are gone :) [17:28] ty nlsthzn night [17:28] night....
