popeydirecthex, you should petition xerox to give up their 13.0.0.0/8 too :) (good luck with that)11:44
directhexpopey, xerox don't answer to me. the government does :p11:45
popeyheh11:46
popeytheir 13. addresses are hard wired all over the place11:46
popeywouldn't be surprised if DWP did same11:46
davmor2directhex: you should stop partitioning for legacy ip infrastructure and start partitioning for everyone to move to ipv6 though surely :D11:46
davmor2petitioning even11:47
davmor2I was close it sounded right in my head anyway11:47
AlanBellbut DWP should take the cash11:47
directhexdavmor2, i'm a realist11:48
directhexAlanBell, exactly11:48
directhexdavmor2, the government has a "useless" asset, why not sell it?11:49
davmor2directhex: Hence the :D11:49
directhexpopey, i had a NAS box once hardcoded to 1.1.1.1 by default @_@11:49
popeyas pointed out in another irc channel, maybe they should wait 5 years, do the migration in that time, and sell when they could get 5bn for it11:50
directhexpopey, they should at least acknowledge the asset11:52
directhexpopey, if not sell it now. i.e. say "yes, we have this, yes we know it has value, we dispute how easy it'd be to change to 10.0.0.0/8"11:53
popeyooh, hp have 15 and 1611:55
davmor2popey: don't mit or something like that have a couple too11:56
popeyyeah11:56
directhexi'm sure HP need 32 million IPs11:56
daubersor we could transfer all public facing IP's to ipv6 already!11:58
popeyi expect scandanavian countries to do that before we do11:58
daubersif I was BT I would have said FTTC only works with ipv611:59
davmor2you would think that big UNIs would have enough geeks to update to ipv6 if they haven't already and sell the ipv4 address space on11:59
shaunoI'd be very surprised to see anyone ditch their v4 allocations in the process12:00
directhexdaubers, major ISPs won't start IPv6 migration for more than a decade. double-NAT will be the norm to deal with ISP-level exhaustion12:00
daubershooray latency12:00
daubersI've been mightly tempted to jump ISP's recently to avoid double-NAT12:01
xnoxdirecthex: yes HP needs 32 million IPs, they have just launched public cloud computing offering using those IPs.12:08
directhexxnox, better use case than DWP's 16 million..,12:09
xnoxdirecthex: well, they were not doing anything with them up until a 1-2 years ago. They didn't have public cloud perspectives then.12:09
xnoxdirecthex: africa should sell it's IPv4 and become rich.... then they will need more IPv4s and they will buy them back twice the price. dejavu?!12:12
xnox=(12:12
xnoxI think fostering IPv4 market is a bad idea12:13
xnoxIPs should not cost anything.12:13
directhexxnox, i want ipv4 to become prohibitively expensive. it's the only thing that will drive v6 migration12:14
directhexnote: i want this to happen after i get a couple if private /25's or /26's for work12:14
directhex:p12:14
* xnox giggles12:14
AlanBellthe bad situation would be if IPv4 is for "servers" and ipv6 is for "consumers"12:14
directhexAlanBell, the reverse will happen first12:14
AlanBellwell putting servers on IPV6 means that not everyone can get to them12:15
directhexbridge all the things!12:16
AlanBellan ISP could turn on IPV6 for consumer connections (no idea why phones don't do this already)12:16
directhexAlanBell, i think big ISPs lack v6-capable core routers12:17
directhexAlanBell, i.e. no HW acceleration o v6, so couldn't cope with current load if s/v4/v6/12:18
daubersAlanBell: some ISP's are already IPv6-ing all the things12:20
ali1234if i have a static IPv4, can't I use 6to4 or something?12:45
davmor2ali1234: that's just tunneling you can do that now without the need for a static ipv412:50
ali1234"This memo specifies an optional interim mechanism for IPv6 sites to    communicate with each other over the IPv4 network without explicit    tunnel setup"12:50

ali1234own version isn't good enough15:47
ali1234i need the exact version15:47
einonmcrosstool-ng should be able to build an exact version of what you want, surely?15:48
ali1234how will i know if it is the same or not, if i don't have the original?15:49
einonmAs far as the toolchain name will tell you - configure it for uclibc, gcc-4.2.3-3, and the target.  Why do you need an exact version?15:53
einonm...or, after a quick google, you could try irc.linuxfromscratch.org #cross-lfs ?15:55

AlanBellsure, but bike is more interesting15:56
Laneyyeah, bike it15:57
Laneycyclestreets.net15:57
ali1234einonm: i need the exact version because i need to build a module for a kernel binary15:58
einonmAh, and this is a kernel binary that you didn't build yourself? If it's just a module, can you not build it natively?15:59
ali1234not without a toolchain15:59
ali1234and since it's an in-kernel module I have to rebuild the whole kernel16:00
ali1234the resulting kernel binary needs to be binary identical though, so that i don't have to reflash16:00
einonmERm, isn't that impossible? An 'in kernel module' is no longer a module. And any resulting binary won't be identical, by definition16:01
ali1234in-tree16:01
einonmali1234: I'm thinking this isn't the correct channel for your questions. Are you trying to hack something, which is why you can't re-flash?16:05
ali1234always16:05
einonmprotected bootloader?16:05
ali1234no16:05
ali1234not that it matters16:05
einonmIt would matter for my next suggestion - go to the LFS website and build from scratch. It'll be easier to create your own toolchain and kernel to get the job done16:07
ali1234you nuts?16:07
ali1234i have the full GPL source release16:07
ali1234it comes with a full build system16:07
ali1234all you have to do is type "make image"16:07
ali1234after supplying the necessary toolchain16:07
einonmgreat. Just use toolchain-ng to get a toolchain built then.16:08
einonm(toolchain-ng.org)16:08
ali1234not to mention that if i do that i'll need to reflash the kernel and root filesystem with the new ones i just built, which is incredibly annoying16:08
ali1234building the toolchain is out of the question because i don't have the source of it either16:09
einonmIf you can access the bootloader, you should be able to run from an nfs or disk mounted kernel & root16:09
ali1234why?16:09
ali1234why woudld that be a good idea?16:09
einonmcrosstool-ng gives you the toolchain souce16:10
ali1234no it doesn't16:10
einonmit's a good idea, as it's less annoying16:10
einonmali1234: Ok, I'm done here. Maybe you want to read the docs at crosstool-ng.org to perhaps see where you're getting muddled there16:15
ali1234i think you are the one getting muddled. i don't see how i can compile a toolchain without the source of it!16:16
ali1234there is absolutely no guarantee that the referenced toolchain download does not contain custom patches added by the vendor16:16
ali1234as a result there is no way i can ever know if the resulting toolchain is actually the same or not16:17
ali1234this is unacceptable16:17
einonmYou build everything using the same toolchain, so you don't need to compare it with your unknown binary toolchain16:17
ali1234not possible16:18
ali1234the kernel requires proprietary binaries16:18
ali1234they will only work with the exact kernel revision, compiled by the exact toolchain version, and nothing else16:18
einonmsorry, I don't offer support for proprietary code.16:18
ali1234so basically you've just been wasting my time for the past half an hour?16:19
ali1234it's a good thing i actually know what i'm doing :)16:19
ali1234you'll note i never asked how to build my own toolchain, or rebuild the vendor kernel16:20
einonmMy mistake, you didn't mention proprietary binaries at the beginning, and I assumed by 'full GPL source release' you had the full source. Best of luck in your search.16:31

Azelphurali1234 / popey latest news from pirate http://pastebin.com/DVNsx7xz if your interested xD20:16
Azelphurthat stuff at the bottom seems real dodgy20:16
BigRedSGotta say I agree with the idea of waiting until there's an actual market for it20:16
popeyho ho ho20:17
AlanBellBigRedS: well there will be a window of opportunity for selling IPv4 space I guess20:19
AlanBellat some point in the future it will be worthless as everyone will be on IPv6 (even if that is 20+ years it will one day happen)20:20
ali1234Azelphur: please, he's obviously stalling, just like the whole thing was obviously dodgy months ago20:20
Azelphurhehe, perhaps20:22
ali1234and on the IP address note, i fail to see why deploying a firewall is a bad thing?20:23
ali1234just because you can't ping an address doesn't mean it is not in use20:23
ali1234if you could reach those machines you'd all be crying about how government IT is terrible and can't do security properly20:23
AlanBellthere was a question about whether any of them were in use, it would appear that they are, which is fine20:25
AlanBellbet they are not using all of the class A though20:25
ali1234no, almost certainly not20:25
AlanBellthey could presumably just sell class B blocks20:26
AlanBellbit like the wireless spectrum auctions20:26
ali1234it does look rather like the whole block is unroutable20:28
AlanBellwhat do you mean by that?20:29
ali1234well, try a traceroute20:30
ali1234it will only go a couple of hops20:30
ali1234that means that it's not simply firewalled20:30
ali1234your ISP literally doesn't know where to send packets for those addresses20:30
ali1234which means the machines are likely not connected to the internet at all20:30
ali1234or if they are, they are behind nat20:31
AlanBellI see20:32
ali1234i notice the MOD has one as well20:33
AlanBellso, they can see out via nat, as if they were on 10.0.0.0/8 but their nat router is somewhere outside of 5120:33
ali1234i'm sure hey could just share it20:33
AlanBellif they did nothing and sold the whole thing then they wouldn't be able to see sites using the new addresses (probably)20:34
AlanBellactually they use multiple levels of nasty proxys so it might well be workable20:34
ali1234continuing to use the addresses and also selling them is not workable20:34
ali1234unless they are only used on machines which are not connected to the internet at all20:35
AlanBellit is a bad idea, but it is workable20:35
ali1234in whch case they can use whatever IPs they want on those20:35
ali1234no, it isn't workable20:35
AlanBellI had a customer that picked a random address range for their internal machines, they had no idea that 10 and 192.168 were special20:35
ali1234it might work, in some circumstances, but it is not workable, because it will fail in unpredictable and unexpected ways in others20:36
AlanBellbut they used a proxy server and the proxy server was configured to cope with it20:36
AlanBellso they could see sites using their internal addresses and the proxy would look outwards for the site20:36
AlanBellbut yeah, that is daft and wrong20:37
popeyhttp://blog.modernmechanix.com/gain-weight-stop-being-skinny-and-tired/  saw that and thought of mungojerry20:37
AlanBellheh, nice. None of the images on it are particularly plump though20:40
ali1234hmm actually20:44
ali1234they aren't unroutable20:44
ali1234just that nothing after the firewall returns traces20:45
ali1234so it's plausible that they are all in use in a way that would make it very difficult indeed to change20:46

YaManicKillubuntu phone? or ubuntu for android?22:08
popeypersonally, I'd rather have an Ubuntu Phone, but U4A if you're buying :)22:08
YaManicKillheh22:08
bittinah need to pay via credit card on Norwegian so i have to wait until tommorow22:08
YaManicKillI actually really like the idea of U4A22:08
popeyyou are not alone22:09
YaManicKillespecially when you start thinking about the padfone22:09
AlanBellthe manufacturers should like it too, not sure why it has been so quiet22:09
YaManicKillpadfone with tablet dock + laptop dock + desktop dock + U4A ... with tegra 3 processor, and 4G...22:09
YaManicKillfor people that don't game, and don't do video/photo editing on a large scale...it'd be all they would need22:10
AlanBellmore people play games on phones than on computers22:10
AlanBellprobably22:10

bigcalmHayley has become hooked on solitaire on my iPad. I think I've lost this one, better start looking for a new lady22:17
ahayzenEvening guys.....got Uni internet working :).... i remember an option to stop disks spinning down does tht still exist somewhere on Ubuntu? Thanks Andy22:20
pinky-I like Alton because there's a lot of parsley there22:20
AlanBellahayzen: yes, hdparm options can do that22:20
ahayzenthought it was in default...did it get removed in GNOME settings reshuffle?22:21
AlanBellsudo hdparm -S 2 /dev/sda might do it22:21
AlanBellnothing to do with gnome22:22
ahayzen...the reason i want to stop spin down is i've got a Hybrid drive SSD+HDD so stopping spin down will stop the HDD from spinning down ..correct?22:22
AlanBelloh, you want it to stop spinning down22:22
ahayzenyh22:22
AlanBellerr in that case a bigger number :)22:22
AlanBell2 is 10 seconds I think22:23
AlanBellpersonally with that drive I would let it sort itself out22:23
ahayzenbasically when u leave the lappy or a bit it spins down the HDD...but adds more wear when it has to spin up i would rather use more power...what do you think?22:23
ahayzen*for a bit22:24
AlanBellI would let it just get on with things22:24
ahayzenok think i'll leave it as it is for now then :)22:24
ahayzenit is the System76 panp9 best laptop ever so far :)....none of tht rubbish u get on windows laptops ;)22:25
