| skellat | How can somebody put a program on Soundcloud and it be unable to be processed by a bloody podcatcher? I understand that there is Yet Another Ubuntu Podcast underway at http://ubuntu.audioca.st/ yet I cannot subscribe to it. | 01:46 |
|---|---|---|
| skellat | Grumble grumble grumble...I may need to contact somebody in the relevant LoCo and offer assistance perhaps... | 01:48 |
| skellat | Manual downloads without a generally available announcer other than UWN is not cool | 01:49 |
| * skellat wanders off to vent his spleen | 01:49 | |

| jrgifford | skellat: putting real podcasts up is difficult. | 02:27 |
| jrgifford | everything either costs lots of money (hosted solutions) or slightly less money (self-run solutions) | 02:27 |
| thafreak | canthus13: normally, I wouldn't do a CCNA at this point.... | 14:50 |
| thafreak | but there's potentially a full time faculty position at akron, which requires it | 14:51 |
| thafreak | since they're part of the cisco academy, they want you to have the cert you're training people to get | 14:51 |
| thafreak | I figure a bit of studying and a one time test fee would be worth it to be eligible for a gig like that | 14:52 |
| thafreak | I'm the only part-time person they have with an lpic-2 I think, so I'd probably be a shoe in | 14:52 |
| * canthus13 nods. | 14:53 | |
| canthus13 | thafreak: I ran into that CCNA instructor at home depot last night. :P | 14:53 |
| thafreak | I normally also wouldn't probably pursue an lpic-3...since it's mostly irrelevant to me | 14:53 |
| thafreak | haha | 14:53 |
| thafreak | was he cutting network cable for people? | 14:54 |
| thafreak | or counting screws | 14:54 |
| thafreak | also, I don't endorse buying network cable from the depot...or lowes either | 14:55 |
| thafreak | they sell 250mhz rated cable as cat-6... | 14:55 |
| thafreak | the cat-5e I usually get is rated at 350mhz... | 14:55 |
| canthus13 | thafreak: He was cutting keys for me. | 14:55 |
| thafreak | haha | 14:55 |
| thafreak | did you crack wise? | 14:55 |
| canthus13 | Nope. He's a brilliant guy.. Just old. He's prolly 70-75 now. | 14:56 |
| thafreak | oh holy cow | 14:57 |
| thafreak | surprised he's not a walmart greeter | 14:57 |
| thafreak | well, I guess the more technically advanced would rather work at the depot | 14:58 |
| canthus13 | Heh. | 15:04 |
| thafreak | wow, 3tb drives are coming down in price finally... | 19:42 |
| thafreak | probably cause of the latest 4tb drives out now | 19:42 |
| thafreak | a 3tb WD Red drive is only $140 | 19:42 |
| thafreak | I think I paid like $119 for my 2tb red drives just a month or so ago | 19:42 |

| thafreak | wow...newegg has one of those dualcore android "stick" pc's for $60... | 19:57 |
| thafreak | if you haven't seen one, they resemble a usb "stick"...only instead of a usb-A male end, it's an hdmi male end | 19:58 |
| Unit193 | skellat: Tried Keryx? | 21:04 |
| skellat | Unit193: What is it and what is it for? | 21:37 |
| skellat | The fast search in Yahoo brought up a pharmaceutical firm | 21:38 |
| Unit193 | skellat: It is a program for linux, and it has to do with offline updates. https://launchpad.net/keryx | 21:39 |
| Unit193 | Their site doesn't appear to be online right now. | 21:39 |
| skellat | Nope | 21:40 |
| skellat | It looks like an abandoned project needing forking perhaps | 21:40 |
| skellat | apt-offline is at least under active development within Debian | 21:41 |
| skellat | And apt itself has gone in new directions since 2011 with the architecture field being added into play which wasn't around when Keryx last punched a release out | 21:42 |
| skellat | And looking at their code, it is hard-coded by release which means it sees the world stopping with Karmic Koala | 21:43 |
| Unit193 | I wasn't sure if you'd used it before, but while it is outdated, looks interesting. | 21:43 |
| skellat | Yeah, never used it. Only apt-offline and did a hideous hack beforehand | 21:44 |
| Unit193 | apt-offline would still be good, more so since synaptic has been removed from everything. Synaptic has actually been updated for GTK3, so may be useful yet. | 21:44 |
| skellat | Is synaptic still being updated upstream? I've held everybody in the family to Precise Pangolin so we all still have it and it is enforced in erielooking-settings if memory serves. | 21:46 |
| Unit193 | Synaptic is in quantal, but I'm thinking the updated code is only in launchpad. | 21:48 |
| skellat | Well...if we really, really want to go light-weight...we should bring back aptitude... | 21:49 |
| paultag | Canonical doesn't care | 21:49 |
| paultag | they have the software store | 21:49 |
| paultag | granted it's nongnu | 21:49 |
| paultag | but some canonical'er maintained it iirc | 21:50 |
| paultag | and it was pretty much EOL'd in 2009 | 21:50 |
| skellat | That's Ubuntu, we're thinking of Xubuntu | 21:50 |
| Unit193 | I like the apt-get/apt-cache commands, but if I had to use a GUI it'd be synaptic. | 21:50 |
| paultag | ah yeah, mvo | 21:50 |
| paultag | I made a post saying it was going away and people tried to tell me I was wrong | 21:50 |
| paultag | I wasn't | 21:50 |
| Unit193 | Ubuntu Software Center is default in Xubuntu as well, though. | 21:51 |
| skellat | True | 21:51 |
| Unit193 | Not on mine! :D | 21:51 |
| skellat | I got it but haven't removed it yet...just haven't felt up to it | 21:52 |
| paultag | I just had to purge it | 21:52 |
| paultag | for some reason my mom couldn't use it to install something | 21:52 |
| Unit193 | Purged it a long time ago. | 21:52 |
| paultag | and it was trying to sell her something | 21:52 |
| paultag | and I got really pissed off and ditched it, fast. | 21:52 |
| Unit193 | Anyway, https://code.launchpad.net/~synaptic-developers/ | 21:52 |
| paultag | yeah, that's just mvo, Unit193 | 21:53 |
| paultag | who's now Canonical, iirc | 21:53 |
| paultag | which I don't :( | 21:53 |
| Unit193 | paultag: Better than nothing, best GUI there is. | 21:53 |
| paultag | Unit193: the software store? | 21:53 |
| Unit193 | I linked to Synaptic. | 21:53 |
| paultag | I'm saying | 21:54 |
| paultag | he's not actively working on it iirc | 21:54 |
| Unit193 | last commit was 2013-01-04 | 21:54 |
| Unit193 | evfool did that one. | 21:54 |
| paultag | Unit193: but look at the history | 21:55 |
| paultag | it's sparse | 21:55 |
| Unit193 | A little, yes. | 21:55 |
| Unit193 | Only recent update was pretty much for GTK3. | 21:56 |
| skellat | And with 4 branches pending for merge | 21:56 |
| paultag | aye | 21:56 |
| Unit193 | http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~synaptic-developers/synaptic/trunk/view/head:/debian/changelog 0.75.12 in quantal, so I still think it's better than USC, but that's more design than commit history. | 21:57 |
| Unit193 | My point is, it's not quite dead, just very slow. | 21:58 |
| skellat | Oh the things to be liberated if only there were the resources to back such up | 21:59 |
| paultag | aye | 22:00 |
| skellat | Unit193: So I understand you to say that the updated synaptic is in raring? | 22:03 |
| Unit193 | Grrrr, you're there too. | 22:03 |
| Unit193 | skellat: Yes. | 22:03 |
| * Unit193 was going to slip out of here. | 22:03 | |
| skellat | Oh the joys of having a working IRC bouncer | 22:04 |
| Unit193 | Yeah, now you're watching me. :P | 22:04 |
| skellat | :-) | 22:05 |
| * skellat wanders off to get some tea as he's dealing with the flu | 22:07 | |
