charl_good morning09:03
charl_Maaz: coffee on09:03
* Maaz washes some mugs09:03
Kiloshi charl_ 09:03
charl_hi Kilos 09:07
charl_how's it going09:07
Kilosok ty and you?09:07
MaazCoffee's ready for charl_!09:07
charl_Maaz: thanks09:10
Maazcharl_: No problem09:10
charl_Kilos: i'm good09:11
charl_just trying to wake up :)09:11
charl_whow there were a lot of ubuntu updates recently09:50
charl_seems like i got a kind of attack on my mail server during the early morning hours http://paste.ubuntu.com/6074167/09:54
theblazehencharl_: you run a mail server?09:56
charl_theblazehen: yes, for myself09:57
theblazehennice. how much ram minimum?09:57
charl_i run it on a vps at hetzner with 512mb09:57
theblazehenI also want one...09:57
charl_for a mail server you need practically nothing09:57
theblazehencharl_: Got a good guide?09:57
theblazehenI never managed to get one working09:57
charl_apt-get install postfix ? :)09:58
charl_i have no idea, maybe there are some guides if you search online09:58
charl_i have been running mail servers for almost 10 years09:58
theblazehenty09:58
theblazehenis that what you did?09:58
charl_i just installed mutt which automatically installs postfix09:58
theblazehenand will that give you imap access?09:59
charl_left everything at the default configuration but make sure your /etc/hostname is set to a FQDN09:59
theblazehenah ok09:59
charl_no09:59
theblazehenty09:59
charl_it's not an imap server it's an smtp server09:59
charl_mutt reads the mail from the local mail file09:59
theblazehenok. How do i get imap then?09:59
charl_for me it's /var/mail/charl09:59
charl_many years ago i experimented with dovecot10:00
theblazehenah ok10:00
charl_but that didn't look like a really good server10:00
theblazehenkk10:00
charl_at a company i was working we ran exim10:00
theblazehenah10:00
charl_much more solid mail server10:00
theblazehenty10:00
charl_i don't like throwing open unnecessary ports so i try to keep that to a minimum10:00
theblazehenyeah10:00
charl_smtp i have no choice and postfix seems pretty solid10:00
theblazehenok10:01
charl_today i'm going to try and get prosody running again10:02
charl_0.8 looked pretty good but didn't support ipv6 and i want all services running on my vps to be fully dual-stack10:03
charl_so i ended up waiting until 0.9 was released which it has now been for a few weeks10:03
charl_figured out i could configure mutt to read mail from imap at work a couple of months back, works really nicely10:05
theblazehenah ty charl_10:16
theblazehenI'll give it a try again, but if I don't get it right, mind helping?10:17
charl_theblazehen: sure ping me if you get stuck10:19
theblazehenty10:19
charl_although i can't be of much use when it comes to imap, just postfix + mutt10:19
theblazehenkk10:19
charl_south africa is in the world-wide trends on twitter right now12:16
charl_seems to have something to do with rugby though12:17
theblazehenwow12:17
charl_look on any twitter profile page in the worldwide trends box on the left12:18
Kilosboks just beat aus12:24
Kilos38/1212:24
charl_i have no idea about rugby but i assume it was a big victory12:25
charl_with that score 38 > 12*312:26
Kilosyeah first time we beat them in brisbane12:26
charl_oh in their own country?12:26
charl_very nice12:26
charl_pwned :P12:26

charl_hi magespawn 14:58
magespawni missed last night15:01
magespawngot a bit caught up in the school AGM15:01
magespawnI see there was a fair amount of activity15:14
theblazehenAnyone need something done in python?15:18
charl_theblazehen: how deo you mean?15:20
theblazehenI'm not doing anything much tomorrow, and I have SSH to a VPS, so I wanna code some python15:21
Kiloshehe teach an ibid to braai steak 15:23
Kiloshi magespawn 15:23
theblazehenKilos: sure15:23
magespawnHey Kilos15:29
charl_theblazehen: i'm currently looking at this https://github.com/erindru/m2t15:54
charl_theblazehen: in relation to this: http://www.openseedbox.com/15:54
charl_theblazehen: in particular, this: https://github.com/erindru/m2t/blob/master/m2t/scraper.py15:54
theblazehenok15:55
theblazehencheck it now15:55
charl_there is some more info here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1680209/how-to-calculate-the-scrape-url-for-a-torrent15:55
charl_the spec: https://wiki.theory.org/BitTorrentSpecification#Tracker_.27scrape.27_Convention15:55
Kiloscharl_, dont mess his brain now hes busy looking at ibid15:55
charl_heh15:56
theblazehencharl_: yeah?15:57
charl_what i was thinking is it would be handy to be able to search for torrents via irc15:59
charl_display the magnet link together with the seeders/leechers15:59
charl_and total downloaders15:59
theblazehencharl: good idea! 15:59
charl_and by torrents i mean legal torrents, that is not of particular concern to me16:00
theblazehenKilos: don't really feel like installing all the ibid dependencies on my system :/16:00
theblazehencharl_: lol :p16:00
Kiloshaha16:00
charl_theblazehen: have you tried virtualenv?16:01
theblazehencharl_: nope16:01
charl_then you don't have to clutter your system with dependencies16:01
charl_create a virtual environment and destroy it later16:02
charl_http://www.virtualenv.org/en/latest/16:02
theblazehencharl_: will it even work for pacman? (arch linux package manager)16:02
theblazehenWhy not normal chroot anyway?16:02
charl_that i don't know16:02
Kilosyou clever peeps tell me what dependancies and packages must be installed on kde for the konsole to work/show16:03
Kilosweve removed something16:04
Kilosnot konsole the panel with launcher sorry16:04
charl_sorry no idea16:05
charl_i just installed kubuntu-desktop and everything got automatically installed with it16:05
Kilosthere is surely a command that can show what all the panel needs16:05
Kilosyeah thats the prob16:05
Kilosi have to find them manually nmow16:05
Kilosnow16:05
Kilosians kde works but no panel and everything else works from konsole16:06
Kiloswhat will this command do please16:22
Kilossudo ./install16:22
charl_that depends on what you are trying to install16:22
charl_the usual combination is ./configure make and make install16:22
Kilosoh its not everything in root install16:23
charl_this looks like something else16:23
magespawnKilos: if you 'sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop' it should reinstall the desktop, but should only need to download the missing software16:23
charl_this will execute the install script in your current working directory16:23
Kilosim trying to get his basic install reinstalled so panel comes back16:23
Kilosi think ive tried that magespawn 16:23
charl_if it gets missing somehow it won't help to try and reinstall it16:24
charl_unless you first remove everything but i'm still not sure16:24
charl_Kilos: how did it go missing?16:24
charl_isn't it already installed but the panel just got removed off the desktop somehow?16:25
charl_i think if you right-click on the desktop there should be a menu allowing you to add the default panel back16:25
Kiloshe was banned from freenode because of open proxy thing so i got himn to remove samba and havp16:25
Kilosand i dunno what else16:25
charl_i don't know what havp is16:25
Kilosit doesnt show add panel 16:25
charl_very hard to say16:26
Kilossome proxy thing16:26
charl_if you removed a package that kubuntu-desktop depends on then kubuntu-desktop itself will also have been uninstalled16:26
Kilosits something we removed16:26
charl_i don't see how this would affect the desktop16:26
Kiloshe has the normal screen view but no panel or launcher16:27
charl_and you can't add a new panel? bizarre16:27
inetproai!16:27
inetprogood evening16:27
inetproKilos: are we still on that?16:27

theblazehennight Kil18:11
theblazehenI expected tab complete to work...18:12
charl_this one looks really good: http://bottlepy.org/docs/dev/18:40
charl_i used to use this one instead: http://www.tornadoweb.org/en/stable/18:41
theblazehenok...18:41
charl_the nice thing about tornado is that it was one of the first to support websockets18:41
charl_that interface is not wsgi compatible though18:41
charl_because you keep an open connection18:41
theblazehenwhat about pyramid?18:41
theblazehenyeah18:41
charl_oh pylons?18:42
charl_it was created by one of my former colleagues at stanford18:42
theblazehenah nice18:42
theblazehensaw a talk at SFD18:42
charl_a guy called ben bangert18:44
charl_he was also one of the people behind lex machina18:44
charl_that's how i know him18:44
charl_http://www.linkedin.com/in/bbangert18:45
theblazehenah ok18:46
charl_here's the history http://www.pylonsproject.org/about/history18:46
charl_the initial version was really poorly documented but the current site looks awesome18:46
charl_an extreme perfectionist that guy18:46
theblazehenty18:47
charl_i don't understand what pyramid is though18:47
superflyit's a web framework\18:48
charl_or i mean, how it realtes to pylons, it's new18:48
charl_reading http://www.pylonsproject.org/about/history18:48
charl_i mean http://www.pylonsproject.org/projects/pyramid/about18:48
superflypyramid = pylons + repoze.bfg18:48
charl_ah ok18:49
superflypylons was a dead end in terms of architecture18:49
charl_hmmm18:50
superflyand the Pylons and the BFG teams had been interacting a lot18:51
superflyso after a beer or two they decided to merge the two projects18:51
charl_yeah why not, better software for all18:51
charl_i lost track of what has been happening to the python world, have been out of it somewhat the last few years18:51
charl_i am a big fan of tornado, was much better than the alternatives (at the time)18:53
charl_for those that read german: http://www.heise.de/developer/meldung/Python-erreicht-Spitzenwert-bei-Softwarequalitaet-1948541.html18:55
charl_a link i saw posted to #ccc on ircnet earlier18:55
charl_basically talks about how python has some of the best quality code18:55
