| brousch | I was thinking of buying one of these http://www.fsf.org/news/ryf-certification-thinkpenguin-usb-with-atheros-chip | 11:44 |
|---|---|---|
| brousch | But it's $54 | 11:44 |
| snap-l | The source code reviewed as part of our certification process for this product includes the open-ath9k-htc-firmware and the Linux-libre 3.9 kernel. | 12:01 |
| snap-l | What is this Linux-libre thing? | 12:01 |
| snap-l | And does this mean that Nacho Libre is also FSF-monickered? | 12:01 |
| snap-l | Ah, OK. I see what this is | 12:03 |
| snap-l | It's Linux with the non-free bits removed | 12:03 |
| snap-l | Excellent branding. | 12:03 |
| snap-l | brousch: Honestly, $54 for no-hassle wireless is a-ok in my book | 12:05 |
| brousch | I don't know. I could buy five random adapters for $10 each and 4 of them will work | 12:08 |
| rick_h_ | gotta support the freedom lovers | 12:08 |
| snap-l | brousch: Why do you hate freedom? | 12:11 |
| brousch | It's too expensive | 12:11 |
| snap-l | Please show me on the doll where freedom touched you. | 12:11 |
| brousch | I'm a free lover! | 12:11 |
| rick_h_ | just not willing to support the extra work of freedom | 12:12 |
| rick_h_ | lazy freedom :P | 12:12 |
| brousch | I thought freedom was free | 12:17 |
| rick_h_ | heh yea...common misconception | 12:37 |
| ColonelPanic001 | 'morning | 13:55 |
| ColonelPanic001 | freedom is like happiness. You're not supposed to get it, just pursue it. Preferably with made-in-china magnets on your car. | 13:56 |
| rick_h_ | so ummm, http://www.wunderground.com/wundermap/?lat=42.70860&lon=-83.43970&zoom=10&type=terrain&units=english&tl.play=0&tl.spd=2&viewportstart=now-3623&viewportend=now-23&groupSevere=1&groupHurricane=1&groupFire=1&groupCamsPhotos=1&groupRealEstate=1&extremes=0&fault=0&femaflood=0&fire=0&firewfas=0&fissures=0&fronts=0&hurrevac=0&hur=0&lightning=0&livesurge=0&mm=0&ndfd=0&rad=1&rad.num=1&rad.spd=25&rad.opa=70&rad.type=00Q&rad.t | 14:25 |
| rick_h_ | damn sneaky big links | 14:26 |
| rick_h_ | lol, so that's probably why it provides a short link option http://wxug.us/13m28 | 14:26 |
| ColonelPanic001 | hm. I've seen this before, actually. | 14:29 |
| ColonelPanic001 | I'm glad you mentioned it. I advise moving away from city centers and the white house. Aliens are about to float over and shoot down a big beam of kaboom. | 14:29 |
| ColonelPanic001 | actually, that's a nice site. I usually go to weatherspark.com | 14:31 |
| ColonelPanic001 | have to remember this one, too | 14:31 |
| ColonelPanic001 | for just a radar display, think I might kind of prefer this one | 14:31 |
| rick_h_ | I like the rss feed from here I use to keep up with things | 14:31 |
| rick_h_ | and it adds local alerts to the rss feed which brought me to the radar | 14:32 |
| ColonelPanic001 | damn, even plots lightning strikes? that's completely useless yet really cool | 14:32 |
| ColonelPanic001 | for me anyway | 14:32 |
| ColonelPanic001 | not like I'm going to dodge them | 14:32 |
| rick_h_ | lol | 14:33 |
| ColonelPanic001 | still interesting though, even says positive/negative, etc | 14:35 |
| snap-l | duplicity is really starting to get on my nerves | 14:58 |
| snap-l | seriously, this thing is designed for files that never change | 14:59 |
| snap-l | And gave obnam a try. Seems awesome, but has a critical flaw in 1.3, and the person with the Ubuntu PPA hasn't released the 1.4 version for 12.04 | 15:00 |
| jcastro | I just use dropbox for everything | 15:05 |
| ColonelPanic001 | another reminder to me that I have to get a box together for owncloud | 15:05 |
| rick_h_ | jcastro: +1 though my rsync + nas ftw for full every single little dotfile I have | 15:06 |
| rick_h_ | dropbox at 50G isn't big enough | 15:06 |
| rick_h_ | and paying for more :/ | 15:06 |
| rick_h_ | but important can't live without and cool to have available on mobile tablets/etc dropbox ftw | 15:06 |
| jcastro | I have 100GB | 15:06 |
| jcastro | they do photos now | 15:06 |
| jcastro | and with picasa/g+ being a cluster it's a nobrainer to use dropbox for everything | 15:07 |
| rick_h_ | yea, my /home/$me is 79GB atm | 15:07 |
| jcastro | I do keep an rsync'ed copy of my dropbox on my NAS as well | 15:07 |
| rick_h_ | I went to picasa for photos. Just wish their android app did uploads/etc | 15:07 |
| jcastro | as well as an ISO mirror of course, heh | 15:07 |
| jcastro | they're dumb | 15:07 |
| jcastro | the G+ app will do uploads | 15:07 |
| jcastro | but then you have copies in both G+ | 15:07 |
| rick_h_ | sorry, not picasa, flickr | 15:07 |
| jcastro | which are synced back to picasa | 15:07 |
| rick_h_ | went from picasa -> flickr | 15:07 |
| jcastro | it's a mess | 15:08 |
| rick_h_ | right, picasa/etc ugh | 15:08 |
| jcastro | every time I'm like "you know, maybe I can replace dropbox with something else" | 15:08 |
| jcastro | they land a new feature | 15:08 |
| rick_h_ | heh yea | 15:09 |
| rick_h_ | <3 those guys (python woot) | 15:09 |
| jcastro | btsync is ok | 15:09 |
| jcastro | but I don't want to pay for an instance to keep things offsite | 15:09 |
| jcastro | so there's no advantages there for me mostly vs. dropbox | 15:09 |
| jcastro | https://www.copy.com/home/ is excellent too | 15:10 |
| jcastro | also has a native app | 15:10 |
| greg-g | wait, g+ app doesn't do photos?! that's... why do you all put up with that shit? | 15:11 |
| jcastro | it does do photos | 15:11 |
| greg-g | I mean, like, upload, you know, create/share | 15:12 |
| jcastro | it does | 15:12 |
| jcastro | but it's annoying | 15:13 |
| rick_h_ | yea | 15:13 |
| jcastro | you can't just like "send this photo of this pic to my dad" | 15:13 |
| rick_h_ | it's too G+ | 15:13 |
| jcastro | it's like circles and all this crap | 15:13 |
| jcastro | wants to by default share on G+ | 15:13 |
| jcastro | so you need to upload it | 15:13 |
| jcastro | then go into the browser | 15:13 |
| jcastro | open the pic | 15:13 |
| jcastro | then use your browser to get the URL | 15:13 |
| jcastro | because you can't direct navigate to it | 15:14 |
| jcastro | then you end up with this crap: | 15:14 |
| jcastro | https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-NjSJNhcN-z4/UX6uOoq9RcI/AAAAAAABPvU/uHPJ8rx7CTM/w1260-h945/IMG_20130429_132733.jpg | 15:14 |
| jcastro | nice URL! | 15:14 |
| jcastro | and from there the only way you can share is to G+ | 15:14 |
| jcastro | no email, no direct link, nothing. | 15:14 |
| jcastro | imgur basically does a way better job | 15:14 |
| jcastro | http://db.tt/NjWi8asC | 15:15 |
| jcastro | or I can just click in dropbox to get that ^^ done. | 15:15 |
| jcastro | which doesn't work apparently | 15:16 |
| greg-g | ohhh, I misread you guys | 15:16 |
| jcastro | http://db.tt/XLKEEjVX | 15:16 |
| jcastro | ok does that work for you guys? | 15:16 |
| greg-g | yeah, google fails a lot of the time | 15:16 |
| jcastro | yeah they just fail worse than normal with photos | 15:17 |
| greg-g | jcastro: "creating album... this page will display your new album once its created" | 15:17 |
| jcastro | it's like, why are there 2 photo services | 15:17 |
| jcastro | greg-g: yeah, the dropbox stuff is beta, so it's a bit slow | 15:17 |
| * jcastro had to opt in and beg | 15:17 | |
| greg-g | flickr "just effing works" for me | 15:17 |
| jcastro | I bailed on flickr when they made you move to a yahoo account | 15:18 |
| snap-l | OK, now that we've had this little detour to "cloud shit that doesn't make my backups work"... ;) | 15:18 |
| jcastro | and I didn't feel like being jorgecastro289374298374982734982374@yahoo.com | 15:18 |
| greg-g | jcastro: it's a fucking email that isn't displayed anywhere.... | 15:18 |
| greg-g | that you don't have to use (you can set your primary email to whatever) | 15:19 |
| snap-l | Yeah, but it means I have to have a yahoo account. ;) | 15:20 |
| snap-l | regardless though... | 15:20 |
| greg-g | petty | 15:20 |
| greg-g | anyways | 15:21 |
| greg-g | :P | 15:21 |
| rick_h_ | snap-l: flickr works sans yahoo account :P | 15:21 |
| rick_h_ | https://login.yahoo.com/config/login?.intl=us&.lang=en-US&.partner=&.last=&.src=flickrsignin&.pd=flickrsignin_ver%3D0%26c%3DJvVF95K62e6PzdPu7MBv2V8-%26ivt%3D%26sg%3D&pkg=&stepid=&.done=https%3a//login.yahoo.com/config/validate%3f.src=flickrsignin%26.pc=8190%26.scrumb=0%26.pd=c%253DJvVF95K62e6PzdPu7MBv2V8-%26.intl=us%26.done=http%253A%252F%252Fwww.flickr.com%252Fsignin%252Fyahoo%252F%253Fredir%253D%25252Fphoto_grease_postlogi | 15:21 |
| snap-l | I'm still without my local backups because of two fails. ;) | 15:21 |
| greg-g | ok, and speaking of "oh so wonderful google" apparently you can't use any gdoc after a suspend, it freezes Fx | 15:21 |
| snap-l | greg-g: Yeah, but GOogle gets a pass | 15:22 |
| greg-g | why? | 15:22 |
| greg-g | they've already had their fair share of passes | 15:22 |
| greg-g | stockholm | 15:22 |
| snap-l | yeah, likely. | 15:26 |
| greg-g | sorry, apparently I'm annoyed this morning | 15:28 |
| greg-g | my excuse is that it's MY monday as I was sick at home yesterday | 15:28 |
| snap-l | Today is my monday too because of Penguicon and taking yesterday off to handle errands. | 15:29 |
| rick_h_ | heh, you monday'ers | 15:29 |
| rick_h_ | my project got pushed back again so I worked all weekend for nothing and found out middle of yesterday. So today I'm just happy. :P | 15:29 |
| snap-l | rick_h_: Your team lead needs to seriously get his shit otgether | 15:30 |
| snap-l | together | 15:30 |
| snap-l | That's fucking bullshit | 15:30 |
| greg-g | rick_h_: hah | 15:31 |
| rick_h_ | :) | 15:31 |
| greg-g | jrwren: glyn moody is pretty good, and he has a response to that article/issue you linked to before, as well: http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130430/09022922890/no-uk-did-not-just-abolish-copyright-despite-what-photographers-seem-to-think.shtml | 21:47 |
| greg-g | stupid long techdirt urls | 21:47 |
| greg-g | jrwren: full disclosure: I didn't read anymore than the title ;) | 21:49 |
| greg-g | which you can get from the url | 21:50 |
| greg-g | heh | 21:50 |
