[11:44] I was thinking of buying one of these http://www.fsf.org/news/ryf-certification-thinkpenguin-usb-with-atheros-chip [11:44] But it's $54 [12:01] 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] What is this Linux-libre thing? [12:01] And does this mean that Nacho Libre is also FSF-monickered? [12:03] Ah, OK. I see what this is [12:03] It's Linux with the non-free bits removed [12:03] Excellent branding. [12:05] brousch: Honestly, $54 for no-hassle wireless is a-ok in my book [12:08] I don't know. I could buy five random adapters for $10 each and 4 of them will work [12:08] gotta support the freedom lovers [12:11] brousch: Why do you hate freedom? [12:11] It's too expensive [12:11] Please show me on the doll where freedom touched you. [12:11] I'm a free lover! [12:12] just not willing to support the extra work of freedom [12:12] lazy freedom :P [12:17] I thought freedom was free [12:37] heh yea...common misconception [13:55] 'morning [13:56] freedom is like happiness. You're not supposed to get it, just pursue it. Preferably with made-in-china magnets on your car. [14:25] 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 [14:26] damn sneaky big links [14:26] lol, so that's probably why it provides a short link option http://wxug.us/13m28 [14:29] hm. I've seen this before, actually. [14:29] 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. [14:31] actually, that's a nice site. I usually go to weatherspark.com [14:31] have to remember this one, too [14:31] for just a radar display, think I might kind of prefer this one [14:31] I like the rss feed from here I use to keep up with things [14:32] and it adds local alerts to the rss feed which brought me to the radar [14:32] damn, even plots lightning strikes? that's completely useless yet really cool [14:32] for me anyway [14:32] not like I'm going to dodge them [14:33] lol [14:35] still interesting though, even says positive/negative, etc [14:58] duplicity is really starting to get on my nerves [14:59] seriously, this thing is designed for files that never change [15:00] 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 [15:05] I just use dropbox for everything [15:05] another reminder to me that I have to get a box together for owncloud [15:06] jcastro: +1 though my rsync + nas ftw for full every single little dotfile I have [15:06] dropbox at 50G isn't big enough [15:06] and paying for more :/ [15:06] but important can't live without and cool to have available on mobile tablets/etc dropbox ftw [15:06] I have 100GB [15:06] they do photos now [15:07] and with picasa/g+ being a cluster it's a nobrainer to use dropbox for everything [15:07] yea, my /home/$me is 79GB atm [15:07] I do keep an rsync'ed copy of my dropbox on my NAS as well [15:07] I went to picasa for photos. Just wish their android app did uploads/etc [15:07] as well as an ISO mirror of course, heh [15:07] they're dumb [15:07] the G+ app will do uploads [15:07] but then you have copies in both G+ [15:07] sorry, not picasa, flickr [15:07] which are synced back to picasa [15:07] went from picasa -> flickr [15:08] it's a mess [15:08] right, picasa/etc ugh [15:08] every time I'm like "you know, maybe I can replace dropbox with something else" [15:08] they land a new feature [15:09] heh yea [15:09] <3 those guys (python woot) [15:09] btsync is ok [15:09] but I don't want to pay for an instance to keep things offsite [15:09] so there's no advantages there for me mostly vs. dropbox [15:10] https://www.copy.com/home/ is excellent too [15:10] also has a native app [15:11] wait, g+ app doesn't do photos?! that's... why do you all put up with that shit? [15:11] it does do photos [15:12] I mean, like, upload, you know, create/share [15:12] it does [15:13] but it's annoying [15:13] yea [15:13] you can't just like "send this photo of this pic to my dad" [15:13] it's too G+ [15:13] it's like circles and all this crap [15:13] wants to by default share on G+ [15:13] so you need to upload it [15:13] then go into the browser [15:13] open the pic [15:13] then use your browser to get the URL [15:14] because you can't direct navigate to it [15:14] then you end up with this crap: [15:14] https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-NjSJNhcN-z4/UX6uOoq9RcI/AAAAAAABPvU/uHPJ8rx7CTM/w1260-h945/IMG_20130429_132733.jpg [15:14] nice URL! [15:14] and from there the only way you can share is to G+ [15:14] no email, no direct link, nothing. [15:14] imgur basically does a way better job [15:15] http://db.tt/NjWi8asC [15:15] or I can just click in dropbox to get that ^^ done. [15:16] which doesn't work apparently [15:16] ohhh, I misread you guys [15:16] http://db.tt/XLKEEjVX [15:16] ok does that work for you guys? [15:16] yeah, google fails a lot of the time [15:17] yeah they just fail worse than normal with photos [15:17] jcastro: "creating album... this page will display your new album once its created" [15:17] it's like, why are there 2 photo services [15:17] 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] flickr "just effing works" for me [15:18] I bailed on flickr when they made you move to a yahoo account [15:18] OK, now that we've had this little detour to "cloud shit that doesn't make my backups work"... ;) [15:18] and I didn't feel like being jorgecastro289374298374982734982374@yahoo.com [15:18] jcastro: it's a fucking email that isn't displayed anywhere.... [15:19] that you don't have to use (you can set your primary email to whatever) [15:20] Yeah, but it means I have to have a yahoo account. ;) [15:20] regardless though... [15:20] petty [15:21] anyways [15:21] :P [15:21] snap-l: flickr works sans yahoo account :P [15:21] 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] I'm still without my local backups because of two fails. ;) [15:21] ok, and speaking of "oh so wonderful google" apparently you can't use any gdoc after a suspend, it freezes Fx [15:22] greg-g: Yeah, but GOogle gets a pass [15:22] why? [15:22] they've already had their fair share of passes [15:22] stockholm [15:26] yeah, likely. [15:28] sorry, apparently I'm annoyed this morning [15:28] my excuse is that it's MY monday as I was sick at home yesterday [15:29] Today is my monday too because of Penguicon and taking yesterday off to handle errands. [15:29] heh, you monday'ers [15:29] 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 [15:30] rick_h_: Your team lead needs to seriously get his shit otgether [15:30] together [15:30] That's fucking bullshit [15:31] rick_h_: hah [15:31] :) [21:47] 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] stupid long techdirt urls [21:49] jrwren: full disclosure: I didn't read anymore than the title ;) [21:50] which you can get from the url [21:50] heh
