| tenc | What are you guys using for an irc client? | 12:11 |
|---|---|---|
| wrst | tenc: I use quassel, it has a core that runs on a server and the client (windows, mac, linux, android) can connect to it from anywhere so I'm always on | 12:21 |
| wrst | but if you don't want always on the stand alone client probably isn't all that great | 12:22 |
| tenc | Haha, another pi server? | 12:22 |
| tenc | :D | 12:22 |
| wrst | no actually use my VPS for that | 12:22 |
| wrst | wb tenc | 12:24 |
| tenc | What host? (thanks ^^) | 12:25 |
| wrst | I have been using digital ocean | 12:25 |
| wrst | price is super cheap 5 bucks a month for what I do I couldn't run the system for 5 bucks at my house | 12:25 |
| wrst | not nearly as robust as linode but for my needs its perfect | 12:25 |
| tenc | That's nice, I'll need to look in to that. | 12:27 |
| wrst | it works well for me a lot of people use screen and irssi and then ssh in | 12:27 |
| wrst | or screen and weechat | 12:27 |
| cyberanger | or in wrst's case, quassel core | 14:09 |
| wrst | tenc: how is it going? | 14:15 |
| tenc | ah i got sidetracked; i'm using xchat right now which is fine but the integration with message-indicators is buggy (for me) although #ubuntu says it works fine so it's probably an overlooked config somewhere on my end. | 14:20 |
| wrst | I'm not for sure on the indicator stuff what might work best really, Unit193? | 14:21 |
| wrst | xchat I think is a nice client | 14:22 |
| tenc | I've had good luck with it so far, simple and clean. Unlike, for example, Konversation. Holy cow that thing is huge--it must do a lot more than I'm thinking for the package to be 200+MB installed. | 14:23 |
| wrst | you probably had to pull in all the QT dependencies | 14:24 |
| tenc | Ah, I bet you're right. | 14:25 |
| wrst | some people don't like having that but I run QT and GTK apps | 14:27 |
| tenc | It is a beautiful day in TN. | 14:27 |
| wrst | ye sit is | 14:27 |
| wrst | or yes it is I'm loving it | 14:27 |
| Unit193 | wrst: Stupid Ubuntu basically tried to get everyone to use indicators, then switched them to gtk3, which Xfce4-panel and lxpanel aren't, so the further away from precise you get, the more broken they get unless you cheat and hold packages from precise. This release may well have a xfce4-panel feature that permits gtk3 indicators in the gtk2 panel (some wrapper), but don't quote me on that and it's a chance the path taken will be to try ... | 16:41 |
| Unit193 | ... and get the gtk2 ones working a little. | 16:41 |
| Unit193 | At least, that's how I see it. ;P | 16:42 |
| Unit193 | But, this is more saucy information than raring, but if you have a saucy vm and want to try it, http://dpaste.com/1381815/ | 16:43 |
| cyberanger | oh bugger | 16:46 |
| cyberanger | they're at it again | 16:47 |
| cyberanger | wish I knew why they do what they do sometimes | 16:47 |
| wrst | Unit193: that's why many in the "community at large" don't care for Ubuntu | 16:56 |
| wrst | one of the reasons | 16:56 |
| twayneprice | wrst: need a new phone? http://gigaom.com/2013/09/19/moto-x-is-coming-to-republic-wireless-for-299-with-5-monthly-plan/ | 18:42 |
| wrst | I love my phone... my feelings aren't the same for my service provider :) | 18:49 |
| wrst | twayneprice: I'm curious how well sprint works around here I have been looking at ting also | 18:50 |
| twayneprice | wrst: I'd guess that sprint isn't that great but maybe get a verizon mifi? :) | 19:07 |
| wrst | data really isn't huge for me | 19:08 |
| wrst | I like it but I can live without it | 19:08 |
| twayneprice | I agree. but you can use the mifi as a wifi for the moto. :) | 19:09 |
| wrst | ha ha that might get a little complex for driving down the road :) | 19:22 |
| cyberanger | considering republic myself | 19:28 |
| cyberanger | sprint coverage isn't bad, but it seems everyone's got issues near work | 19:28 |
| cyberanger | which isn't shown on their maps | 19:28 |
| cyberanger | (guessing part of it is the building, but part of it must be more than that, some sort of RF noise) | 19:29 |
| twayneprice | wrst: as long as you have the mifi connected the moto should just work. | 19:30 |
| twayneprice | cyberanger: I think t $10/month plan would be fine with me. | 19:31 |
| cyberanger | where verizon has coverage | 19:31 |
| wrst | I really just want nothing to do with verizon | 19:31 |
| cyberanger | same here | 19:31 |
| cyberanger | and atm I've got that | 19:31 |
| cyberanger | twayneprice: thing is, it'd be 200 bucks for a new phone and if I don't have coverage, it's not worth that | 19:32 |
| wrst | I really like the ting plan of pay what you use, granted I would probably be in that 50 dollar range that most of the prepaids are anyway but I could decrease the bill if I needed to just by use | 19:34 |
| twayneprice | cyberanger: Most everything I do is around wifi. Verizon is king around here so I could use verizon to connect the moto to. MUCH cheaper than a standard verizon plan. | 19:39 |
| twayneprice | wrst: I'm not a fan of verizon either. Except their coverage. :) | 19:39 |
| wrst | coverage is great, billing not so much :) | 19:41 |
| cyberanger | twayneprice: and that's just it, I don't have wifi at exactly the places I have no coverage | 19:42 |
| twayneprice | cyberanger: does any carrier have coverage everywhere you go? | 19:43 |
| cyberanger | iridium | 19:46 |
| twayneprice | cyberanger: :) is there an iridium mifi? :) | 19:47 |
| cyberanger | the point is the few key places I know I repeat weekly, work and college | 19:47 |
| cyberanger | (and some others too, but the jist is I have three places I spend a ton of time at, 1/3rd means a landline is worth more) | 19:48 |
| cyberanger | I think iridium has a device like a mifi, but wifi over a satphone, ugh dear | 19:49 |
| twayneprice | cyberanger: That would be tough. I have a company supplied att phone but the coverage stinks. | 19:49 |
| twayneprice | Verizon is everywhere I go. | 19:50 |
| cyberanger | the college is just the wrong terrain and old buildings | 19:50 |
| cyberanger | moreso old buildings, outside is a huge improvement | 19:50 |
| cyberanger | work is just kinda fringe | 19:51 |
| twayneprice | cyberanger: I hear ya. When my phone rings I have to run outside to answer it. :) | 19:51 |
| cyberanger | the phone I keep my fido sim gets better coverage than my t-mobile phone and sim | 19:51 |
| cyberanger | that bit makes me laugh | 19:52 |
| cyberanger | oh that stinks, call forwarding? | 19:52 |
| cyberanger | that's what I did to bridge the gab at college | 19:52 |
| twayneprice | I usually just make do. I don't really get a lot of phone calls. | 19:54 |
| cyberanger | I can't say I do either, but that's part of it, why pay for a phone you don't need, can't use where you'd need it or pay for something that only works where you already have mutiple voip lines | 19:58 |
| twayneprice | Yea. Not having a single carrier that covers your area(s) would stink. | 20:01 |
| cyberanger | that's the case for work, college has coverage, buildings just block it | 20:02 |
| cyberanger | I've got a wifi phone for college and home, and can vpn with it into my pbx | 20:02 |
| cyberanger | work is really the worst | 20:02 |
| cyberanger | no wifi and no signal in the parking lot | 20:03 |
| cyberanger | that's nice thing about east tn and west nc, pleanty of cb still | 20:03 |
| cyberanger | here it's a hail mary | 20:04 |
| twayneprice | what wifi phone do you have? | 20:04 |
| cyberanger | Linksys WIP300 I thinklk | 20:10 |
| cyberanger | Linksys WIP300 I think | 20:11 |
| cyberanger | yeah, that looks right | 20:12 |
| twayneprice | Ouch! is $350 right? | 20:13 |
| cyberanger | not back when I got it | 20:14 |
| cyberanger | it's sorta like ram, newest is expensive, then the mid range is low, then there is the old stuff that you keep but isn't worth fixing | 20:14 |
| cyberanger | becuase everybody charges an arm and a leg for parts | 20:15 |
| twayneprice | Yea. It looks like most wireless voips are over $200, though. | 20:15 |
| cyberanger | I paid 100 or 150 (and this was before android was that cheap, same month I spent 500 on the T-Mobile g2 | 20:16 |
| twayneprice | That isn't bad. $300 for the unlocked moto x doesn't sound too bad. | 20:17 |
| cyberanger | cheaper is a wrt54gl, dd-wrt and a ht-502 | 20:21 |
| cyberanger | not pocket sized, but it does the job much cheaper | 20:22 |
| twayneprice | That's true. | 20:24 |
| twayneprice | cyberanger: What I need is a mifi an ht 502 and this phone in my car. :) http://www.coldcraft.com/Portals/113031/images/analog%20phone.jpg | 20:28 |
| cyberanger | in that case, lose the ht-502 | 20:47 |
| cyberanger | it's an ATA | 20:47 |

| * Unit193 wonders if he should note something about shoutcast rather than icecast. :P | 23:34 | |
| Unit193 | tenc: Welcome back? | 23:35 |
| cyberanger | Unit193: eh, I've ran both, favor icecast, but if your playing with licensing, sometimes that forces your hand | 23:36 |
| cyberanger | speaking of which, how do you all handle that DJOmnifrog | 23:36 |
| cyberanger | hey twayneprice | 23:36 |
| cyberanger | hey tenc | 23:36 |
| cyberanger | opps | 23:37 |
| Unit193 | cyberanger: Lucky for me, I don't have to deal with that. | 23:37 |
| Unit193 | (non-profit, so can use mp3, and trying not to stream music too.) | 23:37 |
| cyberanger | same here, but it was a part of the research mess when we were looking into it in the youth program | 23:37 |
