MyrttiI do love Herbamare on eggs, but I don't think it really goes that well with tea06:11
Myrtti... *grumblegrumble* morning06:11
MartijnVdS\o Myrtti06:43
shaunoso here's a fun one.  I want to vpn at layer 2 between two linux machines.  any suggestions where to even start looking?07:19
mungbeansounds complicated.07:32
MartijnVdSshauno: openvpn with "tap" interfaces07:33
mungbeanlayer2? i thought that would involve the networking hardware in betwen too?07:33
MartijnVdSmungbean: nah, layer 2 just means "ethernet segment", so you can bridge an TAP device (vpn) and a real internet interface, and boom, 1 big ethernet :)07:34
MartijnVdSshauno: ssh can do it too, but I never tried that, and it isn't well-integrated into Ubuntu packaging07:34
MartijnVdSshauno: I actually have an almost-finished HOWTO-like blog post for that07:35
TheOpenSourcererjust nail up a stunnel?07:39
TheOpenSourcererAh sorry - you want a bridged connection.07:40
* TheOpenSourcerer goes away to get moar coffeee07:40
shaunosorry, googling to catch up :)  openvpn with tap sounds like it solves exactly why I didn't just go to openvpn in the first place07:43
shaunoand yeah, going for "one big ethernet" between two sites.  specifically, trying to attach a kvm instance in one building, to a switch that's located in another.  and trying to avoid the sensible solution (vlans) because I'll grow old and die before anyone ever signs it off07:44
MartijnVdSshauno: Just finishing up the blog post, 1 sec07:45
shaunooh no rush, I have a lot of peices to put together before this goes anywhere07:46
MartijnVdSshauno: it was almost done anyway :)07:47
MartijnVdSshauno: http://blog.vandestreek.net/2013/09/bridging-internet-with-openvpn.html (beta! might still contain some bad grammar)07:47
shaunoafter 7 years in Ireland, I have no idea what grammar is anymore :/07:48

MartijnVdSpopey: how's Los Santos treating you? :)07:50

mungbeanso a new video card costs more than a ps3/xbox360?07:52
popeyI want to wait for pc version because I am no good at FPS with a controller07:52
popeymouse + WASD for me07:52
mungbeani think i'm the opposite07:53
popeyi find myself looking around the place all the time07:53
popeycan't look and walk at the same time07:53
MartijnVdSpopey: auto-aim helps me a lot in those cases, but I see your poin07:54
MartijnVdSt07:54
MartijnVdSpopey: I tried Portal 2 on the PS3.. it was a lot harder than the PC version07:54
shaunoI'm just terrible at fps.  a controller with 500 buttons would be a welcome excuse07:54
mungbeangta5 isn't like a doom fps though07:54
MartijnVdSmungbean: no, like I said, auto-aim helps07:54

mungbean And because comments sections tend to be a grotesque reflection of the media culture surrounding them, the cynical work of undermining bedrock scientific doctrine is now being done beneath our own stories, within a website devoted to championing science.07:56

mungbeannow thats a game i don't "get"08:02
mungbeanangry birds is quite fun and all that, but PVZ?08:03
popeyOh interestingly. When i was poking in the BIOS I found a setting which let me set the behaviour of the power LED when suspended. Before it was set to "Offensively blink blue" but there was an option for "dual colour LED" which I chose08:04
popeymy PC doesn't have a dual colour LED, so it just turned the light off08:04
popeywhich was much better08:04
MartijnVdSbut how do you distinguish between off and suspended?08:05
popeyI dont care ☻08:06
popeyboth mean I have to press the power button to make it useful08:06

bigcalmdavmor2: do you still use your Xoom?10:12
popeyquad core snapdragon at 2.2Ghz10:12
mgdmpopey: what? Blimey10:12
davmor2bigcalm: I do10:12
MooDoodavmor2: no not had chance yet, just using photoshop for the moment as I have a license for it....use ubuntu for most everything else though10:12
mgdmpopey: what's the new N7? That's 1920x1080 IIRC?10:12
popeyno idea10:12
bigcalmdavmor2: have you come to terms with it being stuck on 4.1.2 forever more, or have you tried to put something like CyanogenMod on it?10:13
diddledan_mgdm, 1920x1200 I believe10:13
MooDoocyanogenmod ftw o/ bigcalm did my s3 last week :D10:13
popeyblimey, they have remote support built in too10:13
mgdmdiddledan_: ah, cool. I'm going to get one 'eventually'10:14
davmor2bigcalm: I don't really care it does what I need it to.  All I want is social networking, youtube and web browsing I tend you use Ubuntu for everything else :)10:14
MooDoodavmor2: i want to get ubuntu touch on my s3, but it's not that complete yet10:14
bigcalmI'm a fan of mods, but won't put it on my S3 until my contract expires next year. I'm trying to put CM on to my Xoom, but it's failing to boot the recovery image10:14
popeymgdm: yes, seems it is, 1920x120010:15
davmor2bigcalm: as I understand it you have to leap through some hoops to get cm on a xoom due to motorola locking down the kernel and binaries and bootloader hence goin gfor the ged rather than the CM  I might try it at some point though10:16
bigcalmdavmor2: I've managed to GED it, but found out that 4.1.2 is where it stops10:17
davmor2yeap10:17
davmor2bigcalm: the daft thing with Motorola is they will do just that, it was one of the things I hated about them, However I just don't care anymore :D10:18
bigcalmFair enough :)10:18
bigcalmMy next challange is to get a USB webcam to work with the tablet10:19

davmor2bigcalm: no your just work more hours than normal,  the social activities force you to only work 40 - 60 :D10:44

AlanBelllike a webmail thing would do11:54
AlanBellthis is astonishingly hard to do right11:54
ali1234what part?11:55
MartijnVdSAlanBell: it is. Webmail clients try *very* hard to do this securely as well11:55
MartijnVdSyou can't just put the HTML from the email on the site verbatim, it might contain naughtiness11:55
mgdmAlanBell: could you rip it from something else? (like Roundcube or similar?)11:56
AlanBellso there is a text/html part and a text/plain part, there might be multipart/related bits with images that I can display, but they need to go in bits like11:57
AlanBell<img id="_x0000_i1025" src="cid:part5.03080108.08010502@libertus.co.uk" alt="Description: sprs-email-logo" height="41" border="0" width="185">11:57
MartijnVdSAlanBell: you need to build an in-memory "directory tree" of the MIME document11:57
AlanBellthe cid: bit of the URL references the image attached in another mime bit11:57
MartijnVdSAlanBell: (and it sub-documents)11:57
AlanBellyeah, there are libraries to parse mime into a tree, done that bit11:57
MartijnVdSalso to view HTML mail securely (XSS-proof, etc.)?11:58
AlanBellmgdm: I had a look at roundcube source, couldn't find the right bit11:58
AlanBellyeah, XSS fixing, CSS fixing and other stuff needs to happen11:58
AlanBelland delayed retrieval of remote <img> tags would be nice11:59
AlanBellI just don't get why there isn't a library that just does it11:59

davmor2daftykins: I used to work for a builders Merchant in wolverhampton.  We would often get calls to deliver to London, we would tell them that there would be a full fuel cost and cost of a driver per vehicle and some people would still order from us as it was cheaper than buying from a london builders merchant if that gives you a clue14:46

SuperMattwhat's the latest news on his charges right now?15:16
diddledan_I'm not going to mention rolf's "wobble board" it sounds too perverted when I say it15:16

SuperMattwell, that's enough to say there is definitely a lot of smoke, but the jury is still out (literally) on the fire15:21
daftykinsyeah15:21
daftykinsi see it as almost sensationalist 'fashion' at the moment to target all these old stars15:22
SuperMattwell15:22
SuperMattthe older stars are more likely to have been involved in such a scandle, unfortunately.15:22

SuperMattbut seriously, I've been playing with btrfs and lxc and as a combination they are *deadly*16:02

ali1234so [O  ] is "steam machines" (not steambox, i'm glad they didn't call it that)17:33
ali1234what does everyone think O+O is?17:34
directhexjoypad?17:34
directhexit could be dual analogue sticks and a d-pad17:34
ali1234could be17:35
ali1234but i think the O is steamOS17:35
directhexin general, yes... but regardless, i think friday they announce the joypad.17:36
ali1234that's a bit of a weak thing to announce third17:36
ali1234"murder, arson, and jaywalking..."17:37
directhexmmmmmmmmm....... see, the thing is, the input device is critical to defining a games system17:38
directhexi mean, consider the wii if they hadn't bothered talking about the wiimote17:38
ali1234"yeah so we made this console and you're not gonna believe this... but... it has a controller!"17:38
directhexit'17:38
directhexbah17:38
directhexit's something people get worked up over17:38
davmor2ali1234: they missed a trick should of been called steam engines :D17:39
directhexlook at how people reacted to the ps3's prototype "boomerang" controller17:39
ali1234haha i totally forgot about that17:39
ali1234also the HUGEEEEE xbox controller thing17:39
ali1234but it's pretty much guaranteed that the steam controller will be very very similar to the xbox one17:40
directhexprobably17:40
directhexbut even then, there's room for variation17:41
ali1234the configuration screens in big picture already exist17:41
directhexthe ouya pad sucks compared to the 360, for example17:41
ali1234and loads of games use it17:41
ali1234it's built in to SDL... the button definitions i mean17:41
directhexloads of games use the 360 pad, since MS made it standard for Games For Windows17:41
ali1234obviously the physical shape is up for modification17:41
ali1234yeah valve has now made it a standard in SDL too17:41
ali1234instead of probing every axis and every button on the joystick you get a joypad object, it has the same buttons as an xbox pad17:42
ali1234you configure the mapping once in steam and then it works in "all" games17:42
directhexthere's scope for change though17:43
ali1234so it's not going to be some crazy motion controller or virtual sword fighting stuff17:43
directhexe.g. a pad with something else in it17:43
ali1234O+O could be 3d goggles tho17:43
directhexlike the ps4 pad has a light for use w/ ps eye camera, and a touchpad area17:43
ali1234is it generally possible to play PC games on a 3d TV?17:44
directhexno. well, no-ish17:45
directhexyou can with a radeon, but most games only support nvidia 3d vision17:45
directhexor you need an unofficial 3dification driver17:45
ali1234O+O could also mean they're going to add more social features to steam. maybe a video conferencing system17:45
ali1234i notice you have to have 10 steam friends to be in the beta17:46
directhexhttp://www.amd.com/us/products/technologies/amd-hd3d/Pages/3d-desktop-graphics.aspx#417:46
ali1234hmm so the support is already there for software17:47
ali1234if you buy the right hardware17:47
ali1234whatever it is i hope it's something really unexpected17:51
directhexoh! nvidia will sell you support for 3d tvs, if you don't want a 3d monitor17:51
directhexfor $4017:51
ali1234yeah this is living room after all17:51

mgdmI thought it was quite interesting18:58
mgdmand I dont' use Steam or play games18:58
ali1234yeah it's interesting i think18:59
ali1234if the next one is just the controller, that will be boring18:59
daftykinspics and details would be vaguely interesting18:59
ali1234http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hairy_ball_theorem#Application_to_computer_graphics just blew my mind19:02
ali1234i never saw it stated exactly like that before, but it makes perfect sense19:03
SuperEngineerVideo games maker Valve invites members of the public to test a version of its forthcoming hardware ahead of it going on sale in 2014.19:08
SuperEngineer...does that make it better for you daftykins ?19:08
daftykinsnot since you reiterated what i'd already read, no19:09
daftykinswhat made you think that was different?19:09

ali1234like shell terminal?19:20
daftykinsja19:20
ali1234screen probably19:20
daftykinsi was thinking that19:20
ali1234i think you can set it up in watch only mode19:20
daftykinsno way to pipe one out to a telnet feed or something for view only? to avoid login19:21

ali1234http://superuser.com/questions/320571/a-view-only-mode-in-screen19:21

ali1234but basically make a user, set their shell to something that runs screen with appropriate args... that's about it19:22
daftykinsty sir19:22
ali1234screen sometimes acts weird over telnet but it should be ok for read only19:22
mungbeanthere's a guy on youtube who plays all these weird simluar games and reviews them on youtube while he plays19:22
ali1234what game is it anyway?19:23
ali1234i didn't think there was that many terminal games... at least not ones you'd want to watch someone playing19:23

daftykinshey guys, i just helped someone install a neat python script for uploading youtube videos23:06
daftykinshe wants to be able to have it automated so he can leave it do them, but i'm wondering the best way to do that23:06
daftykinsright now you specify all the user login + video option paramaters on the command line, naturally, but of course you'd want all those pre-set so you can leave a script upload all the parts to a video23:07
daftykinsis there anything better than just making up a script that calls each upload command one by one?23:07
