Cantideo.o14:52
charlthat's a very specific question14:52

Kilosits the clever guys that are like that, they dont need help from scratch14:53
Cantidelol14:53

Cantideyeah, that question is way higher than my level :D14:53
Cantidei'm still n00b btw :)14:53
charli don't have any experience with ipsec14:53
Cantideeven though i've been using it since 9.0414:53
charland x12tpd doesn't ring a bell14:54
charlbeen using ubuntu since warty14:54
Kilos<DeonP> axxess has started offering static IP's to customers but to get it you have to use a L2TP connection to their server14:54
DeonPlol,  not using ipsec thats the prob, all guides show ipsec, i only use l2tp with isp to get fixed ip14:54
Kilos<DeonP> i'm looking for someone that has experience with xl2tpd14:54
Kilosthink so long charl14:54
Kilosthat was a long scroll back14:54
DeonPthats who i'm dealing with but they have no clue on setting up server, can help with modem only14:55
DeonPty Kilos, going to have dinner nou, back in a bit14:55
Kilosenjoy14:55
charlwow i have absolutely zero experience with layer 2 tunneling14:56
charlno i would say hit #ubuntu14:56
charli don't even use dsl i use cable14:56
Kilosno man no one can get help there its a madhouse14:56
Kilosone of our ballies will know14:56
charlor hit http://askubuntu.com/14:57

DeonPi'm back15:18
DeonPcharl u in uk?15:19
Kiloshi adeebnqo 15:22

DeonPthey an ISP15:23
DeonPtied with mtn15:23
Kilosnot many mtn users here, they suck rather15:24
Kiloslatest bestest is 8ta15:24
Kilostelkom mobile15:25
Kilosmost stable15:25
DeonPlol yeah, they been losing subscribers but they big in fibre interconnect in SA15:25
Kilosah15:25
DeonPmtn business that is15:25
Kilosrural areas have no joy from them. lucky if you get edge speed15:26
DeonPcell-c used to be bad but their coverage has grown exponentially15:26
Kilosye4ah but them too, they share 3g towers with voda and when voda is stretched you get cut to slow speed or disconnected15:27
DeonPthat was last year, voda would shut cell c out if their network was busy, they got their own towers now, much better15:28
Kilosdo they have a coverage map15:32
DeonPyes15:32
Kilosbut 8ta rocks out here on the plot15:32
Kilosand 2+1 for R149 is good15:32
DeonPpretty good15:33
Kilosand when the tower gives probs they send a techie out to you premises to check everything after repairing the tower15:34
DeonPgoing to pop over to main ubuntu chat to see if any xl2tpd experts are on15:34
Kilostakes a few days though15:34

charlDeonP: no16:25
charlDeonP: visited london once but only spent about 10 days there, i attended the mozilla festival back in 201116:27
kbmonkeywhats up?16:28
charlDeonP: on #ubuntu just ask a question, they have a meta channel which records unanswered questions16:28
charlhi kbmonkey 16:28
charlhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/MetaChannel16:29
kbmonkeyhi charl 16:29
charlhow's it going16:29
kbmonkeyI am having a hard time trying to come up with a puzzle game for PyWeek16:30
charldon't ask me i'm terrible at that kind of stuff16:30
kbmonkeybeen at it for 6+ hours now, nothing solid yet16:30
kbmonkeylol16:30
charli guess you have to be a gamer yourself in order to think things like that up16:30
charli have never been much of a gamer myself16:30
kbmonkeyironically I am not :P16:30
kbmonkeyI am not a gamer, I just like puzzle games XD16:31
kbmonkeyam using these game compos as a means to learn python16:32
kbmonkeythe pressure is good16:32
charljust made some pesto tagliatelle, delicious16:32
kbmonkeywow! amazing.16:32
kbmonkeyI made stir fry16:32
charli didn't make it myself though, but i did buy it fresh16:32
kbmonkeywith oyster mushrooms.16:32
Kilosyum16:33
charli mean, i boiled the pasta myself, but i didn't roll the pasta :P16:33
kbmonkeythat meta bot looks interesting16:35
charlkbmonkey: yeah it was a good idea...16:37
charlthis is an interesting remark by stallman...16:39
charlwhat the bluray companies are doing is encouraging piracy16:39
charlmirated mkvs don't have encryption and can be freely played on all devices16:40
charl*pirated16:40
kbmonkeythe Humble Bundle released stats that prove that selling stuff without DRM does not reduce profit. In fact people still payed for it.16:42
kbmonkeyAnd more in fact, Linux users payed more than the average!16:44
CantideHumble Bundle <316:44
kbmonkeythe guys at work know of it, all the windows users. they love it because it is cheap. we love it because it gives us new games. lol16:45
Cantideyeah hahaha16:47
Cantidei've only bought one bundle there so far16:47
kbmonkeyThey have the comedy bundle on at the moment.16:47
Cantidebut i will buy another if it has nice games16:48
Cantideyeah, i just checked16:48
charlstallman is going rather controversial here towards the end with his ideas regarding artist compensation16:49
charlup until now i've been with him 100%16:49
charlbut now i don't know anymore16:49
charli agree with him regarding intellectual property rights hoarding though16:50
charlbut i think it should be left to individuals to compensate the authors and how16:50
kbmonkeythe problem is that video and audio channels of distribution take so much from the artists :(16:51
charlhow so?16:51
kbmonkeyis that what RMS means?16:51
charlnot following you16:51
charlrms is richard stallman16:51
kbmonkeyfor example, the music industry is known for screwing over artists. 16:52
charlyes exactly16:52
charlonline distribution benefits artists, but not the music industry16:52
charlthat's why they're against it, not because it destroys artists16:52
kbmonkeywhich is why Trent Reznor initiated hiw Ghosts project a few years ago, to prove you do not need a recording label16:53
charlyes very good of him that16:53
charlactual artists understand because they are the ones being screwed just as much as consumers16:53
kbmonkeyfrom all the bands of friends I've known, getting an album produced is stupidly expensive and the rewards are meek 16:54
charlyes the record companies are raking in the billions while artists get a fraction of a fraction of the profits16:55
charland end up having to do concerts to actually make some money16:55
charlwhy not just distribute your content online16:55
kbmonkeyjamendo.com :D16:55
charland then have concerts in any case16:55
charljomendo - very nice16:56
charl*jamando16:56
kbmonkeyit is a platform for artists to give their works away DRM free. donation driven16:58
kbmonkeyI like supporting those artists, good idea16:59
charlthat's what we need16:59
charlwe need to support those artists and encourage other artists to join them16:59
charland the money goes to the artists, not the copyright hoarders and trolls16:59
charlwhow this is scary - network implanted medical devices17:06
charli didn't realise those exist but i guess it was just a matter of time17:06
charl*networked17:06
kbmonkeyI like these 8-bit game remixes - http://www.jamendo.com/en/track/773636/battle-city17:09
kbmonkeyno I should not be distracted at this time, I need a puzzle idea!17:10
charlwhow done with the video - was awesome17:16
