Kilos | morning inetpro | 08:28 |
Kilos- | oh my | 08:44 |
Kilos- | hi acherv | 08:50 |
acherv | Kilos-, hi | 08:50 |
=== Kilos- is now known as Kilos | ||
acherv | lol | 08:50 |
Kilos | my 8ta also starting to mess around | 08:51 |
acherv | i think those guys have a pb | 08:52 |
Kilos | whats that? | 08:53 |
acherv | i said they have problem | 08:53 |
Kilos | ah lol | 08:54 |
acherv | because it's everyone who complain | 08:54 |
Kilos | ya | 08:54 |
Kilos | and they were so good 4 or 5 months ago | 08:55 |
acherv | Kilos, i have a question | 08:56 |
Kilos | yes? | 08:56 |
acherv | What is the difference between /mnt and /media? | 08:56 |
Kilos | hmm.. media is normally cdroms and sticks i think | 08:57 |
Kilos | hi Trixar_zb | 08:57 |
Kilos | lets hear what the clever guys say | 08:58 |
Kilos | i always need help with the tecnical stuff | 08:59 |
Kilos | technical | 08:59 |
acherv | ok | 08:59 |
Kilos | Vince-0, will know | 09:00 |
Kilos | i remember my external i used at /media/storage | 09:02 |
Kilos | while we waiting acherv what do you want to do | 09:07 |
acherv | Kilos, just a question i am asking myself | 09:08 |
Kilos | ah i thought it was something you wanted to do | 09:08 |
acherv | not yet | 09:09 |
Vince-0 | heey | 09:10 |
Vince-0 | ubuntu usually uses /media/storage as auto mount | 09:11 |
acherv | Vince-0, hi | 09:11 |
Vince-0 | hi | 09:12 |
acherv | but in FHS, we have /mnt and /media | 09:13 |
acherv | . | 09:14 |
acherv | Vince-0, are you there? | 09:14 |
Kilos- | oh my | 09:15 |
acherv | why we have both? | 09:15 |
acherv | Kilos-, sorry | 09:15 |
Kilos- | ive see /mnt used in a command to mount a drive or partition | 09:16 |
acherv | yes | 09:16 |
acherv | and also /media | 09:16 |
Kilos- | sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt i thought it was | 09:16 |
Vince-0 | what are you trying to mount? | 09:16 |
acherv | Vince-0, nothing for a moment | 09:17 |
acherv | just be curious | 09:17 |
acherv | to see both | 09:17 |
acherv | in old day, to mount we used /mnt | 09:17 |
acherv | now we have both | 09:18 |
Vince-0 | doesn't really matter - ubuntu will use its own auto-mount procedure which uses /media I think | 09:18 |
acherv | . | 09:22 |
=== Kilos- is now known as Kilos | ||
tonberryE352 | as far as i know /mnt is for permanent mounts and /media is for non permanent things like flashdrives and removeable hdds | 09:22 |
Kilos | ya the internal drives | 09:23 |
Kilos | acherv, are you just starting to learn linux? i forget? | 09:24 |
acherv | tonberryE352, i heard that but sounds like /mnt is useless | 09:24 |
tonberryE352 | i put a lot of drives in /mnt | 09:25 |
acherv | Kilos, we learn every day | 09:25 |
tonberryE352 | useful if you do server like things and want the drives to auto mount instead of mounting them by gui | 09:25 |
Kilos | there is some good stuff one can download that teaches lots | 09:25 |
Kilos | Maaz, lpi manual | 09:26 |
Maaz | http://www.linuxcertification.co.za/lpi-study-manual | 09:26 |
Kilos | get that manual acherv. lotsa info in there | 09:26 |
acherv | thx | 09:28 |

Kilos | if everyone keeps complaining then they might wake up | 09:56 |
acherv | they told me last time it is because my area isnt cover | 09:56 |
acherv | nonsense that answer | 09:57 |
Kilos | Maaz, telkom mail is <reply> TM-SOC@telkom.co.za | 09:57 |
Maaz | Kilos: If you say so | 09:57 |
Kilos | you gotta get through to the data okes and make them please explain | 09:57 |
Kilos | as in how can a case be closed without doing anything | 09:58 |
Kilos | grrr | 09:58 |

Kilos | hi magespawn | 10:27 |
magespawn | how are things today? | 10:28 |
Kilos | ok just fighting telkom | 10:28 |
Kilos | my connection has dropped 3 times today | 10:29 |
magespawn | so nothing new then | 10:29 |
Kilos | no man used to be slow but constant | 10:29 |
Kilos | got a mail addy for them as well | 10:29 |
Kilos | the case i opened last week has been closed with no contact with me or any feedback | 10:30 |
Kilos | so now its going up to managerial level | 10:30 |
Kilos | grrr | 10:30 |
magespawn | that does happen, and not only with telkom | 10:31 |
Kilos | unless they bin it as well | 10:31 |
Kilos | ill keep mailing them till they fix it or offer to pay my voda airtime | 10:32 |
Kilos | hehe | 10:32 |
magespawn | now that would be cool and ironic | 10:33 |
Kilos | lol | 10:33 |
Kilos | saw a voda add last night on the idiot box | 10:35 |
Kilos | they offering a 2g+2g but didnt see the cost | 10:35 |
magespawn | day + night? | 10:37 |
Kilos | ya i think so | 10:38 |
Kilos | didnt see the whole add | 10:38 |
magespawn | Kilos are you afrikaans or english? | 10:38 |
Kilos | lol | 10:38 |
Kilos | why you ask? | 10:38 |
Kilos | english man | 10:38 |
magespawn | idiot box i always took to be a english term | 10:39 |
magespawn | but your afrikaans is good | 10:39 |
Kilos | its actually slang for tv from the cb days | 10:39 |
Kilos | i grew up in van der merwe land | 10:39 |
magespawn | my mom used to use it all the time and she never was near cb ever. | 10:40 |
Kilos | ya but maybe her parent did | 10:40 |
Kilos | ? | 10:40 |
Kilos | or friends | 10:41 |
Kilos | good buddy time was long ago | 10:41 |
magespawn | maybe, do not think so though, they were english english, not from sa at all | 10:42 |
Kilos | i wonder if google will know | 10:43 |
magespawn | ask | 10:44 |
Kilos | Maaz, google the saying idiot box for tv | 10:44 |

Kilos | lol | 10:46 |
psyatw | hi magespawn | 10:46 |
psyatw | I´m on pidgin now, much better and easier to join many channels than webchat | 10:47 |
magespawn | hi psyatw | 10:47 |
Kilos | psyatw, on windows? | 10:47 |
Kilos | hi charl | 10:47 |
psyatw | Kilos, yeah, so this is one of the best solutions for me | 10:48 |
psyatw | hoi charl | 10:48 |
Kilos | you can also get xchat for windows too | 10:48 |
psyatw | I have installed irssi too, but I haven´t figured out how to configure it yet | 10:48 |
Kilos | but pidgin is good if its working | 10:48 |
Kilos | hehe i battled with irssi | 10:48 |
psyatw | yeah | 10:49 |
Kilos | you can use mirc on windows | 10:49 |
magespawn | psyatw there is also a quassel version for windows, both complete and client | 10:49 |
psyatw | I guess I could, but I prefer free software | 10:50 |
psyatw | magespawn, I will look into that, thanks | 10:50 |
psyatw | I need good language support too (Asian languages), that´s why I keep coming back to pidgin | 10:50 |
Kilos | xchat was free | 10:50 |

psyatw | btw, can you imagine that here in Poland you can get 50Mbit/s broadband internet for only 17.5 euros | 10:52 |
psyatw | ? | 10:52 |
Kilos | whew | 10:52 |
psyatw | yeah, I was surprised by that too | 10:53 |
psyatw | and my connection at my flat is more stable than it was even in the Netherlands | 10:53 |
Kilos | good | 10:53 |
magespawn | our government says anything more than 256kbps is broadband | 10:53 |
psyatw | I am just not sure about their policies when it comes to downloading | 10:53 |
Kilos | hehe | 10:53 |
magespawn | nice psyatw | 10:54 |
psyatw | haha | 10:54 |
psyatw | yeah | 10:54 |
psyatw | so I don´t actually miss anything from home, except for my family perhaps :) | 10:54 |

Kilos | there ive mailed telkom as well | 11:25 |
Kilos | i hate the "môre is nog n dag" attitude | 11:26 |
magespawn | we have a similar saying in Hluhluwe, just without that same sense of urgency | 11:28 |
Kilos | lol | 11:29 |
magespawn | brb pick up fish time | 11:32 |
Kilos | k | 11:32 |

Kilos | ok ty and you? | 11:33 |
psyatw | I am also fine, thanks | 11:33 |
charl | i'm good | 11:33 |
charl | nice long weekend for me, from yesterday until sunday | 11:33 |
charl | need to clean my apartment though, it's been getting dirty again | 11:34 |
Kilos | thats nice | 11:34 |
Kilos | hehe | 11:34 |
charl | but it's nice to take a break, had a couple of busy months this year so far | 11:34 |
charl | i finally upgraded my work pc to ubuntu 13.04, it turns out that vmware workstation 9.0.2 has no trouble with kernel 3.8 (for me) | 11:35 |
Kilos | nice | 11:35 |
charl | in unrelated news, i fully switched to using freetalk for xmpp/jabber now | 11:36 |
charl | it's a really nice command-line xmpp client | 11:36 |
Kilos | sigh no power on the 13th again | 11:56 |
Kilos | 0800 to 1800 | 11:57 |
Squirm | afternoon | 12:26 |
Kilos | hi Squirm | 12:36 |
magespawn | hey all | 12:37 |
Kilos | you back | 12:37 |
Kilos | wb | 12:37 |
Kilos | that was quick | 12:37 |
Kilos | just finished watering my strawberries and other plants | 12:38 |
magespawn | strawberries are nice to grow for decoration and fruit | 12:39 |
Kilos | yeah | 12:40 |
Kilos | women love eating them | 12:40 |
magespawn | i do, and it is a lot nicer if there is a women involved | 12:41 |
Kilos | hahaha | 12:41 |
charl | :D | 12:43 |
charl | chocolate covered strawberries | 12:43 |
charl | with whipped cream | 12:43 |
Kilos | hehe | 12:43 |
magespawn | fresh stranberry daiquiris | 12:45 |
magespawn | strawberry | 12:45 |
Kilos | wassat daiquiris thing? | 12:45 |
magespawn | a cocktail, i might have spelt it wrong | 12:46 |
magespawn | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daiquiri | 12:47 |
charl | yuck, sugar in a cocktail drink | 12:48 |
charl | they often throw sugar in bock beer too, not for me thank you | 12:48 |
Kilos | hmm... methinks only good fruits in alcohol are marulas and yellow peaches | 12:49 |
charl | when i used to live in africa i used to throw amarula in my coffee | 12:49 |
magespawn | i used to serve a lot of them on ladies nights | 12:50 |
Kilos | lol | 12:50 |
charl | this stuff for those that don't know: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amarula | 12:50 |
Kilos | amarula very lekker and yellow peach mampoer | 12:50 |
charl | ladies nights.... :D | 12:50 |
charl | oh, you mean at a bar? | 12:51 |
charl | never had mampoer myself, afaik it's strong | 12:51 |
charl | haha, when i googled for it i got an afrikaans wikipedia page, very nice http://af.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mampoer | 12:51 |
Kilos | hehe | 12:52 |
magespawn | yes i worked for some time as a waiter/barman/manager of various restuarants | 12:52 |
Kilos | the after taste of the yellow peaches is the best part | 12:52 |
charl | all this talk of peaches, strawberries and ladies... let's move on to a different topic :) | 12:53 |
Kilos | hehe | 12:54 |
Kilos | hi georgelappies | 13:40 |
georgelappies | hi Kilos how are you? | 13:47 |
Kilos | good ty and you? | 13:47 |
charl | psyatw: i see you moved to poland :) | 14:02 |
charl | from your host that is | 14:02 |
psyatw | charl, yes, I did :) | 14:02 |
charl | hoe bevalt het? | 14:02 |
psyatw | I left last Sunday and arrived on Monday | 14:02 |
psyatw | het bevalt me erg goed eigenlijk | 14:02 |
charl | nice :) | 14:02 |
psyatw | alles is hier vrij goed geregeld en het ziet er ook vrij modern uit allemaal :) | 14:03 |
charl | that's interesting, i have never been to poland and i always hear it's such a poor country | 14:03 |
charl | but what you hear and how it is is always two different things | 14:03 |
charl | are always | 14:03 |
psyatw | it may be a poor country, but you have the newest shopping malls and all the latest stuff here | 14:04 |
charl | amazing | 14:05 |
charl | not what i would have expected | 14:05 |
charl | sounds nice | 14:05 |
psyatw | in some respect Western Europe may still be ahead, but I don´t perceive the differences to even be that big | 14:05 |
charl | how's the internet access | 14:05 |
psyatw | and as my uncle has told me before and I´m witnessing myself now, Poland may pass the Netherlands by in a number of years | 14:05 |
psyatw | it´s also great, I should say | 14:06 |
psyatw | you can get a 50 Mbit/s connection for about 17,5 euros | 14:06 |
charl | wow, that's not bad | 14:06 |
georgelappies | Kilos: good thanks :) | 14:06 |
charl | i pay a lot more than that | 14:06 |
psyatw | not to mention, it´s very stable too | 14:06 |
psyatw | yeah | 14:06 |
charl | not that i can say i ever have problems with my cable but i feel ziggo is way too expensive | 14:06 |
charl | i pay 50+ euro per month for a stupid 60mbit connection | 14:07 |
charl | has not kept up with the times | 14:07 |
charl | and i live in like one of the *very* few cities in NL that does not have FTTH | 14:08 |
psyatw | yeah | 14:08 |
charl | so i am stuck on eurodoxis | 14:08 |
psyatw | you can even get 250 Mbit/s connections here | 14:08 |
charl | yeah i think NL with all it's wealth is going to lose ground to the "upcoming" countries | 14:09 |
charl | living is too expensive, tax is high, etc | 14:09 |
psyatw | but the thing is that they could have prevented all of this | 14:10 |
charl | in germany the salaries seem to be higher and the cost of living lower | 14:10 |
psyatw | I don´t really plan to go back to the Netherlands | 14:10 |
charl | yeah it's all of these stupid politics, people have just started living off the land | 14:10 |
psyatw | yeah, even germany is doing things better | 14:10 |
charl | off the fat of the land i mean | 14:10 |
charl | welfare state | 14:11 |
charl | i have to be honest i don't know if i want to continue living in the netherlands for the next 10 years | 14:11 |
charl | i am strongly considering my opportunities in germany | 14:11 |
charl | i just need to get my german up to scratch, quite frankly it's "echt sheisse" :) | 14:11 |
psyatw | I sure as hell didn´t want to, so I took my stuff and left :P | 14:12 |
Symmetria | heh check this out | 14:12 |

charl | what the heck is that supposed to be | 14:12 |
Symmetria | heh, I took one of those old hooves my dog had been chewing and stuck it under an extreme macro lens | 14:12 |
psyatw | I can only see things changing in 10 years and frankly at my age I don´t have the time to wait for that anymore | 14:13 |
Symmetria | charl, its an EXTREMELY high powerful magnification lens | 14:13 |
charl | ah i see | 14:13 |
charl | it looks like some hair in a mess :) | 14:13 |
Symmetria | heh, its fascinating though, but god that lens is hard to use | 14:14 |
Symmetria | its a no-focus lens, meaning the entire focus is done by distance from the object | 14:15 |
Symmetria | and if you dont use a remote trigger on the camera, you aint gonna get anything | 14:15 |
psyatw | charl, you could talk to me if you want to, my German is far from scheisse :) | 14:16 |
charl | i feel ashamed of my german for someone who lives a few KM (literally like 15KM from my apartment) from germany | 14:16 |
charl | anycase, i have to be off, bbl | 14:17 |
psyatw | see you later charl | 14:18 |
magespawn | if you pay 50 euro for 60 mbit line that is about the same we pay in sa for a 1mbit line with an uncapped account (not unshaped) | 14:18 |
psyatw | wow | 14:18 |
psyatw | that sounds like 2001 for us | 14:19 |
magespawn | yup and vdsl 40mbit uncapped at about R10 699.00 per month\ | 14:20 |
magespawn | that is if you can get it | 14:20 |
magespawn | i saw some prices from canada 175mbps in and out and 300gb usage for about R1000.00 per month | 14:21 |
magespawn | most sa links out are half or less of the incoming speeds | 14:21 |
magespawn | so 1mbit in is 512 out, and most uncapped is shaped | 14:22 |
Squirm | magespawn: look at google isp in the US | 14:23 |
Squirm | actually, China just got 2Gbps down and 1Gbps up | 14:24 |
Squirm | for like R400 or something crazy | 14:24 |
