inetpronuvolari: how's your connection today?13:36
inetprodid anybody get the additional 20GB from Vodacom before the deal expired?13:37
* inetpro decided to give it a pass13:38
nuvolariinetpro: ser gut, danke13:49
nuvolariI grabbed the last straw left 13:49
nuvolariso I need to figure out what to download with the extra BW :P13:49
Tonberryall the things13:50
inetproI still have about 15GB to use until 31 Jan13:51
inetproR500 for another 28 days will be a waste for me13:51
Tonberryhalf an ubuntu repo?13:51
inetproTonberry: why download the ubuntu repo if you won't use it?13:52
* Tonberry shrugs13:53
* inetpro has no time to play with such things13:53
Tonberryi use local repos13:53
Tonberryas in on the box over there13:53
Tonberrybut i can keep them up to date at the university13:54
inetproI can get away with 3GB a month if I go easy13:54
inetprothough 5GB is probably more like what I should go for these days13:54
inetprosad that it's so costly13:55
inetproI should probably try 8ta again at the end of the month13:57
inetprowant to play a bit with a high gain antenna and see whether it will make a difference13:58
nuvolariinetpro: it will definitely make a difference14:15
Tonberryunless you are already on the roof14:16
inetproa friend has an antenna that I can play with14:17
inetprojust need to figure how to find the optimal direction14:17
Tonberrythere are ways to get the actual signal strength from a 3g modem in linux14:19
Tonberrycomgt can do it14:20

nuvolari:>21:27
nuvolariso far so good, apart from not having both my screens active, it seems pretty nice21:28
* nuvolari wish internet was as fast as thoughts21:28
nuvolario/ g'evening Kerbero 21:28
Kerbero\o21:31
Kerberoek sit op die oomblik in duitsland, en moet nie dink suid-afrika s'n is stadig nie21:32
Kerberomy internet by die huis in SA is definitief vinniger en meer stabiel as wat ek nog erens in europa kon vind21:32
Kerberobehalwe op een plek in nederland waar ek 'n 20mbps kabel gehad het21:32
zerefhmmmmm21:45
* nuvolari kwyl21:49
zerefi'm trying to share my internet connection with my server, i've tried https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing21:52
zerefbut no luck21:53
zerefi dont use gnome-network-manger, i use /etc/network/interfaces to setup my network21:54
zerefcant seem to find the settings..21:54
Kerberouhm21:54
Kerberodo you want to bridge or NAT?21:55
Kerbero/etc/network/interfaces is not enough on its own21:55
Kerberoyou'll either need a bridge interface to bridge21:55
Kerberoor iptables to do masquerading21:55
Kerberoahh i see that guide says that anyway21:56
Kerberozeref: and you did enable that one line in sysctl.conf21:57
Kerberothat guide is a bit confusing21:58
Kerberobut seems correct21:58
zerefhmm21:59
zerefi dont know which parts to follow and which parts to ignore21:59
Kerberowell first of all: sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf21:59
Kerberoand enable the line that says something about ipv4 forwarding22:00
Kerberoit should be =122:00
Kerberohmm22:01
Kerberoi normally use webmin to configure iptables22:01
Kerberoand don't do it by hand22:01
Kerberobecause that makes everything just too complex for me22:01
zerefkk22:02
Kerberowebmin actually has a iptables rule "template" for connection sharing iirc22:02
zerefso for that guide, i should follow all the steps??22:02
Kerberoyeah22:02
superflyzeref: install arno-iptables-firewall, and then all you need to do is make sure you set up your routing on your server properly22:02
zerefkk, will give it a go22:04
