| dogmatic69 | hamitron: according to Azelphur they are heading the same way as cpu's. eg useless. | 00:10 |
|---|---|---|
| hamitron | they are | 00:14 |
| hamitron | but I want one anyways | 00:14 |
| hamitron | haha | 00:14 |
| dogmatic69 | lol | 00:14 |
| dogmatic69 | obviously making too much money mining :P | 00:14 |
| hamitron | ;/ | 00:14 |
| hamitron | I bought the 6770 instead of fpga | 00:14 |
| hamitron | because I wanted better gpu in a couple of my machines at the time | 00:15 |
| hamitron | it is the ASIC that are only useful for bitcoin mining, I struggle to convince myself to buy | 00:15 |
| ali1234 | ASIC doesn't obsolete GPU in the same way as GPU did to CPU... the jump is not so big | 00:16 |
| * penguin42 wonders how much of an ASIC it is - there are companies that have a FPGA-XASIC system that's not very optimal but will give an improvement | 00:16 | |
| penguin42 | a lot cheaper than the few $1M or more for a full ASIC build on a modern process | 00:17 |
| hamitron | ali1234: 450MH to 40,000MH is not a jump? | 00:17 |
| ali1234 | not when you consider power usage | 00:18 |
| ali1234 | after factoring the probability that the thing uses 2x more power than they claim, and gets only 0.5x the hash that they claim | 00:18 |
| hamitron | hehe, yeh | 00:19 |
| hamitron | I've decided I'm not buying any ASIC, until I see it | 00:19 |
| hamitron | I may lose out on the initial high profit | 00:20 |
| hamitron | but better than risking a load of cash imo | 00:20 |
| ali1234 | buy a used fpga cheap | 00:20 |
| hamitron | butterfly labs are offering a trade in for their fpga units | 00:20 |
| hamitron | I'm wondering if they may offer reconditioned units cheap later | 00:21 |
| hamitron | which would be kind of cool, because you can re-program them to calculate other things | 00:21 |
| * penguin42 wonders why they sell their own FPGA cards as opposed to just selling an image for someone elses | 00:21 | |
| hamitron | someone elses? | 00:22 |
| penguin42 | FPGA dev cards are pretty common | 00:23 |
| hamitron | yeh, but they tend to be more expensive from what I've seen | 00:24 |
| hamitron | but more flexible ofc | 00:24 |
| penguin42 | there are some cheap ones | 00:24 |
| ali1234 | probably because they don't want some toe-rag to steal their firmware and rip them off | 00:24 |
| hamitron | that too | 00:24 |
| ali1234 | and also because they have a chip fab plant | 00:25 |
| hamitron | penguin42: where? :/ | 00:25 |
| penguin42 | hamitron: http://www.xess.com/prods/prod055.php are kind of low end ones | 00:25 |
| ali1234 | i suspect their original fpga design has some accelerated sha asic blocks too | 00:25 |
| penguin42 | they use the Xilinx Spartan series | 00:25 |
| ali1234 | but maybe it's just a generic fpga design with the serial numbers filed off | 00:25 |
| penguin42 | ali1234: It's probably a one-time-programmable FPGA | 00:26 |
| penguin42 | they're cheaper than the programmable ones - but you have to make sure you get it right :-) | 00:26 |
| ali1234 | maybe | 00:26 |
| hamitron | it can't be, you can upload new "functions" | 00:26 |
| penguin42 | the larger/more complex FPGAs cost more of course | 00:27 |
| penguin42 | but there again, if as you're saying the data rate is very low - then why make it a PCI board | 00:27 |
| ali1234 | it isn't | 00:28 |
| ali1234 | it's a box that you plug in on usb | 00:28 |
| hamitron | even appears as a serial port | 00:29 |
| hamitron | :) | 00:29 |
| ali1234 | "Ok, so now we are in the desert, and you find a genie, and you ask the genie to make the carrot fresh again, and then wish a starving billionaire would appear in front of you" | 00:29 |
| penguin42 | oh right then, probably pretty easy to build yourself that type of thing in a few days using the free FPGA tools | 00:29 |
| ali1234 | lolarguments | 00:30 |
| penguin42 | then it's just proportional to how much you'll pay for the FPGA | 00:30 |
| hamitron | the results on the fpga dev boards I've seen, don't seem that cost effective | 00:31 |
| hamitron | :/ | 00:31 |
| hamitron | otherwise I'd have grabbed one | 00:31 |
| hamitron | as things stand, I'd get a de0-nano just for playing with, then another for btc mining | 00:31 |
| penguin42 | they don't clock particularly fast | 00:31 |
| ali1234 | altera better supported on linux | 00:32 |
| ali1234 | or so i'm told | 00:32 |
| penguin42 | I've done Xilinx on Linux (on Ubuntu) | 00:33 |
| hamitron | I used altera at uni on linux | 00:33 |
| penguin42 | (a few years ago - haven't done much with my board for a while) | 00:33 |
| hamitron | seemed ok | 00:33 |
| penguin42 | hamitron: Well then, go build yourself a SHA256 FPGA | 00:35 |
| hamitron | heh | 00:36 |
| hamitron | always seem to be busy these days | 00:36 |
| penguin42 | yeh | 00:36 |
| hamitron | doing 4x15 hour days each week atm | 00:37 |
| hamitron | so whilst I do have days off, I like to recover | 00:37 |
| hamitron | ;) | 00:37 |
| Azelphur | why does nobody want to recommend some nice small laptops :( | 00:38 |
| hamitron | I saw a nice lenovo in staples | 00:38 |
| Azelphur | hamitron: link? | 00:38 |
| hamitron | bah | 00:38 |
| * hamitron goes look | 00:38 | |
| hamitron | http://www.staples.co.uk/technology/computing/computing/ideapad-s205-4gb-11-6-black?r=bf | 00:40 |
| Azelphur | that's pretty good actually, nice price too | 00:41 |
| hamitron | you'd ahve to do price checks | 00:41 |
| hamitron | I not looked around | 00:41 |
| Azelphur | 5 hours battery life is a bit meh, but I do have the extra universal battery | 00:41 |
| hamitron | or looked at specs closely | 00:41 |
| hamitron | but it looked good | 00:41 |
| hamitron | ;) | 00:41 |
| Azelphur | oh hey it has a radeon, that's nice too | 00:41 |
| hamitron | and felt good | 00:42 |
| Azelphur | could probably do a little bit of gaming on that | 00:42 |
| ali1234 | http://shop.lenovo.com/us/laptops/thinkpad/x-series/x220 | 00:43 |
| Azelphur | ali1234: that's nice, bit too big though, ideally looking <=11" | 00:44 |
| Azelphur | 11" fits in my coat pocket :D | 00:45 |
| ali1234 | chromebook? | 00:45 |
| Azelphur | oh god, google taking over my everything | 00:45 |
| ali1234 | well obviously you wipe it and put ubuntu | 00:45 |
| Azelphur | nah, would prefer a standard computer, I already have a Galaxy S3 and probably getting a nexus 7 | 00:45 |
| ali1234 | chromeOS sucks | 00:45 |
| Azelphur | oh, they can take Ubuntu? | 00:45 |
| ali1234 | yeah | 00:45 |
| Azelphur | don't they have an ARM chip which has limited compatibility? | 00:45 |
| ali1234 | no | 00:45 |
| ali1234 | i5 dual core | 00:46 |
| penguin42 | do they have any local storage? | 00:46 |
| ali1234 | 16GB ssd | 00:46 |
| Azelphur | probably would want to swap that SSD out, a bit too small | 00:46 |
| penguin42 | so no then :-) | 00:46 |
| Azelphur | (I have a 40GB SSD on the table that would do fine) | 00:46 |
| ali1234 | you want the moon on a stick | 00:46 |
| hamitron | ali1234: you've worked it out | 00:46 |
| hamitron | :) | 00:46 |
| ali1234 | i dont knw if you can swap the hd on chromebook | 00:46 |
| penguin42 | ali1234: Problem is chromebooks just seem to be more expensive than stuff with windows on which seems sad | 00:46 |
| * hamitron just uses windows | 00:47 | |
| ali1234 | not really, cheap windows laptop/netbooks are pretty bad | 00:47 |
| ali1234 | chromebook is actually nice hardware apparently | 00:47 |
| Azelphur | I like the idea of the decent bios that the chromebook has | 00:48 |
| Azelphur | I bet it'd boot fast | 00:48 |
| ali1234 | 8 seconds | 00:48 |
| Azelphur | 8 seconds with Ubuntu? | 00:48 |
| ali1234 | probaly not | 00:48 |
| Azelphur | lol was gonna say | 00:48 |
| Azelphur | would be cool to dual boot it | 00:48 |
| Azelphur | bit pricey for my requirements though | 00:50 |
| ali1234 | moon on a stick | 00:51 |
| hamitron | I still think you are missing out, not having a windows phone | 00:51 |
| hamitron | ;) | 00:51 |
| Azelphur | ali1234: not really, I want a laptop for web browsing / im and decent battery life. An atom would be fine | 00:51 |
| ali1234 | get a second hand netbook from ebay | 00:51 |
| Azelphur | hehe | 00:52 |
| hamitron | them acer ones are cheap | 00:52 |
| hamitron | maybe for a reason | 00:52 |
| * hamitron shrugs | 00:52 | |
| Azelphur | I've had bad experience with acer, they seem to make terrible touchpads | 00:52 |
| ali1234 | moon... stick... | 00:53 |
| ali1234 | the acer ones are cheap because they sold millions of them | 00:53 |
| Azelphur | ali1234: I'd like it to turn on | 00:53 |
| * Azelphur waits for moon, stick | 00:53 | |
| ali1234 | http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Acer-Aspire-One-ZG5-Netbook-Windows-7-Ultimate-/140812406269?pt=UK_Computing_Laptops_EH&hash=item20c912cdfd | 00:54 |
| Azelphur | yea, that's actually the exact netbook I was referring to when I said bad touchpad | 00:54 |
| Azelphur | I had the privilege of working with one of those for a while, I ended up vncing it because it was just totally unusable. | 00:54 |
| Azelphur | ali1234: as a sidenote I'd like 1080p video playback too | 00:55 |
| ali1234 | it has a great touchpad | 00:55 |
| Azelphur | is today opposite day | 00:55 |
| Azelphur | also from what I hear anything less than N4xx atoms chug battery, which is also not great :) | 00:56 |
| hamitron | I wish I could get my hands on that Eee PC that had the AMD Geode cpu in it | 00:57 |
| hamitron | unfortunately, it appeared to be targeted for poor countries like Italy and Poland | 00:58 |
| Azelphur | yea, I had an eee before it was really nice, sold it to jacobw | 00:58 |
| * Azelphur is filled with regret | 00:58 | |
| hamitron | they are nice | 00:58 |
| hamitron | but also this Geode version used a weird SiS chipset | 00:58 |
| hamitron | and there were still windows 98 drivers for it | 00:59 |
| hamitron | :D | 00:59 |
| Azelphur | lol | 00:59 |
| hamitron | battery life was really bad though | 00:59 |
| hamitron | and the cpu was only an i586 | 00:59 |
| hamitron | so 10.04 only, or debian | 00:59 |
| hamitron | ;) | 00:59 |
| Azelphur | hehe | 01:00 |
| Azelphur | http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ASUS-Eee-PC-1225B-SIV064M-Netbook-/330767469369?pt=UK_Computing_Laptops_EH&hash=item4d03470b39#ht_570wt_907 this looks quite nice, maybe this o.O | 01:00 |
| Azelphur | ali1234: hmm, I'm actually having trouble finding the i5 chromebooks, you got a link? | 01:06 |
| Azelphur | on the chromebook website they are all atoms or "intel core" processors | 01:06 |
| ali1234 | it's because the chromebox is i5 | 01:07 |
| ali1234 | the chromebook is atom | 01:07 |
| Azelphur | oh | 01:07 |
| ali1234 | or maybe not | 01:07 |
| ali1234 | i dunno | 01:07 |
| dogmatic69 | Is it possible to have the same wallet files shared to different pc's | 01:18 |
| Azelphur | dogmatic69: you need a determinalistic wallet for that, use electrum | 01:25 |
| dogmatic69 | ah | 01:25 |

| brobostigon | bigcalm: not bad upto now, still half asleep, and you? | 10:11 |
| bigcalm | Looking forward to the thunderstorms that are forecast for later today :D | 10:12 |
| bigcalm | Humm, well they were forecast on my phone | 10:12 |
| bigcalm | BBC weather doesn't think we'll be getting any | 10:12 |
| bigcalm | Ho-hum | 10:12 |
| bigcalm | Lots of rain though, maybe I should mow the lawns while it's still dry :S | 10:13 |

| wayne__ | Hi all, lauchpad is asking for my ssh key, how do i extract said key from my laptop? | 11:15 |
| ali1234 | wayne__: it's in ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | 11:15 |
| ali1234 | or possibly not rsa but something else | 11:15 |
| ali1234 | but you need the .pub file not the other one | 11:15 |
| wayne__ | gotcha thanks | 11:16 |
| jacobw | wayne__: use ssh-keygen to generate the keys if they don't exist | 11:27 |
| wayne__ | jacobw: thanks but im sorted now | 11:38 |
| wayne__ | whats the command to change irc chat name? | 11:50 |

| brobostigon | you client doesnt support that then. | 11:52 |
| wayne__ | what client do you recommend for unbuntu 12.04? | 11:53 |
| brobostigon | i use irssi, and have for years, it a terminal client, i do not recommend it, but i dont know any others to be honest. | 11:53 |

| n1md4 | is it possible to launch ncurses (debian style) installer from live ubuntu cd? | 12:10 |
| n1md4 | ...having read around, it would appear I've to install using the alternative iso, create the raid there, and I can then install mythbuntu-desktop. Far too long winded, is it not possible to include raid and lvm in the gui installer? | 12:21 |
| penguin42 | n1md4: I don't think so but it's a while since I tried | 12:40 |
| penguin42 | n1md4: but I wouldn't worry about using the alternative iso - it's easy enough, just not pretty | 12:42 |
| penguin42 | n1md4: I can find a note that there were plans to support software raid in the standard install bu tit looks like it never happened: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/foundations-lucid-software-raid-in-ubiquity-for-desktop-install | 13:44 |

| SuperEngineer | Today's lesson #3 - there isn't an app in the s/w centre to politely translate subsequent swearing! | 15:07 |
| SuperEngineer | ;) | 15:07 |
| penguin42 | oh that could be an interesting challenge | 15:07 |
| penguin42 | the bug entries for it would be fun; 'Does not provide suitable translation for _____' | 15:07 |
| SuperEngineer | ... me likey | 15:07 |
| SuperEngineer | ['spose it could be quite easy - all nasties translated to a polite "oh darn", or "oh drat"!] | 15:11 |
| SuperEngineer | nah!!! | 15:11 |
| penguin42 | SuperEngineer: Oh it would have to find the appropriate time to use such phrases as sugar, drat, turlingdrome, swut and joojooflop; or maybe even Belgium | 15:13 |
| SuperEngineer | perhaps app should translate all phrases to "shout that louder - you'll feel better"! | 15:14 |

| SuperEngineer | shauno - don't! | 15:17 |
| * penguin42 wonders where that lightening/thunder suddenly came from | 15:18 | |
| SuperEngineer | if you can't work out how to turn it on - using it will be dangerous | 15:18 |
| jacobw | irritatingly, my flat has 4 boilers, the kitchen and bathroom sinks each have an electric boiler, while the bath and radiator each have a gas boiler | 15:18 |
| SuperEngineer | penguin42: I sent it away from here - it was getting me down ;0 | 15:18 |
| SuperEngineer | jacobw: hmmm... pay the bill? | 15:19 |
| jacobw | i have to work out how to pay the bill, i live in germany and i don't speak german | 15:20 |

| dwatkins | jacobw: you could use e-mail to contact them, in theory | 15:34 |
| jacobw | i'll sort it out before winter | 15:34 |
| dwatkins | A lot of Germans tend to speak pretty good English in my experience, but that's mainly from talking to people in the IT industry, where it's probably more likely. | 15:34 |
| jacobw | ah, rural area ;) | 15:34 |
| jacobw | it's like finding french speakers in hull | 15:35 |
| dwatkins | You could always call them up and ask politely "Es tut mir leid, ich bin Englander, sprechen Sie Englisch?" | 15:35 |
| dwatkins | (yes, apologise for being english, go on...) | 15:35 |
| dwatkins | playing on stereotypes often helps | 15:35 |
| jacobw | i haven't tried hard enough yet, it's on my to do list :) | 15:35 |
| jacobw | that is true, sometimes it's easier to pretend that i don't speak any german to avoid starting anything in german | 15:36 |
| jacobw | it's easy for conversations to escalate from simple to complex language | 15:36 |

| diplo | under 5 did for defo, havn't checked to see if 5 year olds are free as well | 20:05 |
| daubers | diplo: Might be worth looking at rail passes as well (As you can get them with the tube on the card) | 20:05 |
| diplo | I was trying for my first then alanmac :) | 20:06 |
| diplo | This is for the morning though, how easy is it to get these cards etc ? | 20:06 |
| alanmac | rush hour is likely to be hell | 20:06 |
| daubers | diplo: When I go to London I get them from the machine on the platform | 20:06 |
| alanmac | I would aim for 10:00/10:30 + | 20:07 |
| daubers | Yeah, you'll get off peak cards then too (much much cheaper) | 20:07 |
| diplo | yeah, leaving here 9am ish, aim to be in hounslow for 10-10:30 | 20:07 |
| daubers | diplo: They're travelcards | 20:08 |
| daubers | http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/times_fares/ticket_types/travelcards_oyster.html | 20:08 |
| diplo | ta reading now | 20:09 |
| diplo | just booking us into dino area as well | 20:09 |
| daubers | When I used to go off peak fro reading -> paddington one of those with tube was £25-30 | 20:09 |
| diplo | My ex wife would be going looney now if i said right were going to london tomorrow without organising anything a few weeks in advance | 20:10 |
| diplo | :D | 20:10 |
| diplo | Looks like about £8 when i checked earlier from hounslow | 20:10 |
| daubers | diplo: The travelcards cover your train journey to London as well (if you're taking the train to London) | 20:11 |
| diplo | yeah, so basically driving to Hounslow Central ( mates advised me to go there ) park there with the car for the day | 20:12 |
| diplo | And train/tube it direct from there | 20:12 |
| daubers | Ah, in that case you don't want a travel card :) | 20:12 |
| diplo | 30 min tripi | 20:14 |
| diplo | no mention of prices on tfl site | 20:15 |
| diplo | ah blimey hard work to plan this | 20:15 |
