| MartijnVdS | brobostigon: You probably don't have wpa-enterprise set up, do you? | 08:32 |
| brobostigon | MartijnVdS: not as of yet, for real, only dont plans on paper, on the basis of what you blogged. | 08:32 |
| MartijnVdS | brobostigon: OK. Then you probably can't confirm https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/freeradius/+bug/1206367 yet :) | 08:33 |

| SuperMatt | it's not? | 09:13 |
| SuperMatt | AWW MAN | 09:13 |

| SuperMatt | I might as well delete my facebook now | 09:13 |
| MooDoo | SuperMatt: i've been trying that for years, I last 2 days | 09:14 |
| SuperMatt | I actually don't mind using facebook | 09:14 |
| SuperMatt | it's a path of least resistance | 09:14 |
| mungbean | i like facebook as i have a huge family and a large wider circle of friends | 09:15 |
| SuperMatt | me too | 09:15 |
| SuperMatt | I kinda wish people would move to google+ though. It does all the same things, but does them better, imo | 09:16 |

| mungbean | *musicmagpie | 09:51 |
| SuperMatt | nope | 09:51 |
| mungbean | weird. i appear to be reading a forum where every member (90%+) is male, but they use female avatars in the forum | 09:52 |
| SuperMatt | ... | 09:52 |
| mungbean | but not famous ones | 09:52 |
| SuperMatt | are you sure you're not on a transgender forum? | 09:52 |
| mungbean | just regular looking females, maybe their wives, or maybe they just like average looking females | 09:52 |

| mungbean | i think the others are just their girlfriends/wives | 09:55 |
| mungbean | but thats not you. its your SO, so its a bit weird on a forum | 09:55 |
| mungbean | because you think there's women posting | 09:55 |

| diddledan | http://www.ubuntuvibes.com/2013/03/the-leap-motion-controller-now-supports.html <-- works with ubuntu | 12:59 |
| directhex | can i use it to play touchscreen games on my non-touchscreen? | 12:59 |
| brobostigon | diddledan: if it works in ubuntu, it must thus work in debian also ? | 13:00 |

| brobostigon | debian and ubuntu and mostly pretty much the same underneath. | 13:00 |

| === alan_g|lunch is now known as alan_g | ||
| diddledan | it looks like the "supports linux" is actually "can support linux if you code it for us" | 13:03 |
| diddledan | it's an SDK that supports linux so softwares that utilise the sdk need to be written | 13:03 |
| brobostigon | ah. | 13:04 |
| popey | i have seen it used on ubuntu | 13:06 |
| brobostigon | it certainly is an interesting concept. | 13:07 |
| popey | Hmm. "Someone" should port ScummVM to Ubuntu Touch | 13:28 |

| mungbean | i've been watching les revenants | 20:00 |
| diddledan__ | who's he? | 20:00 |
| Azelphur | popey: Elions is a friend of mine running a bitcoin related podcast that's gaining traction, was hoping he could pick your brain for a bit, do you have any advice about what sites to get listed on so you're in podcast apps rss feeds, and any clever tricks he could do for hosting? | 20:27 |
| Elions | Woop | 20:28 |
| popey | Azelphur: Elions hello! | 20:52 |
| Azelphur | howdy :) | 20:52 |
| popey | first two places I'd ensure you're listed is itunes and gpodder.net | 20:53 |
| Elions | popey: Is Itunes hard to get listed in? | 20:53 |
| popey | nope | 20:54 |
| popey | stupidly easy | 20:54 |
| popey | http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1819 | 20:54 |
| Elions | popey: I've caught on pretty quick that I can't just put a podcast whenever and expect it to get the same ammount of traffic, any tips on when I should post them or am I just being paranoid on that? | 20:55 |
| popey | be regular | 20:55 |
| popey | weekly is good | 20:55 |
| MartijnVdS | keep production value as high as possible | 20:56 |
| popey | yeah | 20:56 |
| Elions | That's what we're working on at the moment really | 20:56 |
| popey | we record two episodes every two weeks, and put them out weekly | 20:56 |
| Elions | Already got a better recording program. Working on a better site (stil waiting on someone who can make a template) | 20:56 |
| popey | so there's always a weekly episode but we only record every other week | 20:56 |
| Elions | Huh | 20:56 |
| MartijnVdS | (make sure you don't sound like you're being chased by a pack of wild 747s :P) | 20:56 |
| popey | the site matters less | 20:56 |
| popey | people generally subscribe and dont visit the site | 20:56 |
| popey | needs to be easy to a) find episodes, b) subscribe, and that's about it | 20:57 |
| Elions | popey: What about lenght of the podcasts? | 20:57 |
| popey | unless you really care about engagement | 20:57 |
| popey | ours are 30 mins per episode | 20:57 |
| MartijnVdS | Elions: learn about compression and normalisation (not "compression" like "mp3" but like "squishing the waveforms"-ish :) | 20:57 |
| Elions | I also take it an RSS feed is a must | 20:57 |
| MartijnVdS | Elions: 30 minutes to 1 hour seems to be a sweet spot for a lot of people I know, that's an average commute | 20:57 |
| MartijnVdS | Elions: it is | 20:58 |
| popey | yes, if you have no RSS feed then it's not a podcast ☻ | 20:58 |
| Elions | Yeah... That's one thing we've been sorely missing. Somehow I keep forgetting to set one up | 20:58 |
| Elions | I'll probably set it up proper tonight. | 20:58 |
| Elions | Still doing research for the next podcast episode. | 20:58 |
| MartijnVdS | will itunes even accept you if you don't have a feed? | 20:59 |
| popey | no | 20:59 |
| Azelphur | popey: the thing with RSS feed, is that it kinda depends on the site right? I assume you're using wordpress to generate your feed? | 20:59 |
| MartijnVdS | Azelphur: blogger.com can also do it | 20:59 |
| popey | we use wordpress + podpress | 20:59 |
| popey | many sites can do it | 20:59 |
| Azelphur | I see | 20:59 |
| MartijnVdS | Azelphur: most blog engines can do podcasting stuff these days | 20:59 |
| Elions | Would a Django website be able to do it? | 20:59 |
| Azelphur | Elions: yes. | 20:59 |
| MartijnVdS | if you write it like that | 21:00 |
| MartijnVdS | django is a bit lower-level than wordpress or drupal or something like that | 21:01 |
| Elions | So we should probably stick with wordpress? | 21:01 |
| Azelphur | MartijnVdS: yea, I said I could handle everything for him besides the template, or he can stick with wordpress :) | 21:01 |
| Azelphur | (but he wants a custom template, and writing one for django is going to be much less involved than for wordpress) | 21:01 |
| Azelphur | Elions: my assessment is that if you want a custom template, then go django route and I'll do the backend coding, if don't want a custom template, I'd stick with wordpress. :) | 21:03 |
| Elions | Azelphur: I just don't want the site to look default really | 21:03 |
| Elions | popey: What about where to host the podcast? We were using Soundcloud but we ran into a bit of an issue since it limits the ammount of minutes you can use | 21:04 |
| popey | we have a vps | 21:04 |
| popey | and host ogg and mp3 versions of our show on it | 21:05 |
| Azelphur | yea, I thought you hosted locally, that's no issue, I can host that :) | 21:05 |
| MartijnVdS | VPSes can be had for a few £/month | 21:05 |
| Azelphur | popey: outta curiosity, how much bw do you pull? | 21:05 |
| popey | we also have a setup which distributes content to mirrors | 21:05 |
| MartijnVdS | or a few bt¢/month | 21:05 |
| popey | but that's possibly overkill | 21:05 |
| MartijnVdS | (µbtc?) | 21:05 |
| Azelphur | MartijnVdS: my server costs a tad more than a few £/mo ;) | 21:05 |
| popey | a simple vps should be enough | 21:05 |
| Azelphur | popey: what sort of bandwidth requirements, I assume <100GB for a simple VPS? | 21:06 |
| popey | hard to tell | 21:06 |
| popey | we have mirrors | 21:06 |
| Elions | Hmm | 21:06 |
| popey | so cant tell you how much traffic we burn | 21:06 |
| MartijnVdS | Azelphur: depends on number of listeners. | 21:06 |
| Azelphur | ah | 21:06 |
| popey | actually i can | 21:06 |
| Azelphur | popey: rough estimates? | 21:06 |
| MartijnVdS | Azelphur: keep the episodes to 20-30MB, and keep an eye on the stats to see if you need to upgrade | 21:06 |
| Azelphur | MartijnVdS: I doubt I'll need to upgrade, we have 10TB/mo InterNAP NYC tier 1, just wanna know what I'm getting myself into ;) | 21:07 |
| * mgdm sets up his RasPi so his gf can learn Python on it | 21:08 | |
| popey | something like 200G per episode | 21:08 |
| Azelphur | cool, yea that'll be fine | 21:08 |
| popey | we get about 5-6K downloads per episode | 21:08 |
| popey | which is low for most mainstream podcasts | 21:09 |
| Azelphur | good, won't put much of a dent in mysetup then :) | 21:09 |
| MartijnVdS | popey: you should get the W-C back, listeners will follow ;) | 21:09 |
| popey | hah | 21:09 |
| MartijnVdS | popey: have you seen subbable.com? | 21:11 |
| Elions | I'll be back in a moment | 21:11 |
| Elions | gotta turn on the stove over here... It's so cold I might as well be living in an igloo | 21:11 |
| MartijnVdS | popey: they're trying to get the American "NPR model" to web communities (2 youtube channels atm, but they've just started, and want it to be for all kinds of communities eventually) | 21:11 |
| MartijnVdS | Elions: cold? | 21:12 |
| popey | Elions: where is "here"? | 21:13 |
| Elions | Chile | 21:13 |
| popey | oh nice. | 21:13 |
| popey | MartijnVdS: seems i have seen that as I have https://subbable.com/crashcourse in my browser history | 21:13 |
| MartijnVdS | cgpgrey is on there now as well | 21:14 |
| popey | thats quite neat | 21:17 |
| mgdm | Hmmm. RPI does not like a Mac keyboard | 21:20 |
| popey | BT or wired? | 21:21 |
| mgdm | wired. I suspect it requires more juice. It kept connecting and disconnecting during boot | 21:21 |
| daftykins | moar milliamps! | 21:31 |
| Elions | Back | 21:41 |
| Azelphur | I have a new pet spider, he seems to like hanging around on #django and #django-cms, http://imgur.com/Je6SBDa | 21:59 |
| Azelphur | which makes sense, because web programming. | 21:59 |
| mgdm | /o\ | 21:59 |
| Stripe | hi guys is it OK if i post a link to the "open rights group" (British EFF) petition to try and stop UK internet censorship? | 23:02 |
