Kiloswhere magespawn ?10:02
Kiloslocal or anywhere10:02
Kilosdo you want to make a site or what10:04
magespawnlocal if possible but it is not serious10:04
magespawni want to set up a ubuntu server with quassel and opencloud10:04
Kilosah10:05
magespawnso i was looking for some recommendations cause quite often the experience can be very different 10:10
Kilosmagespawn, look at this one and tell me what one can do there10:34
Kiloshttp://www.weebly.com/weebly/userHome.php?page=domains10:34
Kilosi started making site but dunno what to do10:34
Kilosso dont know if it just hosts a site for you or what10:35
Kilosnow i get a mail every week saying my site aint published yet and mails about how to make it do more10:39
Kiloshehe10:39
charlmagespawn: hetzner germany11:13
charlmagespawn: charl.eu runs on a vps that costs 7,90 euro per month11:13
charlmagespawn: been running it for almost two years and have had very few issues thus far11:14
charlmagespawn: also supports ipv6 and the latest ubuntu (13.10) if you want11:14
charlmagespawn: also the ability to set reverse dns11:14
Vince-0I bought a vps on cloudatcost.com11:31
Vince-0was $4 per month bought in 2 years - 4 vCPU, Debian 711:31
Vince-0but that special is over now11:32
georglmagespawn:  try http://www.digitalocean.com12:00
charlwhow these people are ridiculously cheap12:18
charlhow can they even make ends meet12:18
charl$1 per month?!12:19
magespawnThanks for the suggestions guys12:42
charlnp :)13:03
magespawnVince-0, they still have some nice specials13:46
magespawnKilos was that site for your book?13:46
Kilosyes magespawn 13:47
magespawnthis is a good learning curve then13:48
Kiloshehe13:52
Vince-0magespawn, latency to Canada is a bit kak from the ass end of the world though13:54
Vince-0285ms today is as good as it gets13:55
magespawnah well we have to take the good with the bad13:56
Vince-0there's some local guys who run isoho.st 14:07
Vince-0that's local14:07
Vince-0they use spice14:08
Vince-0I forget the guy's name14:08
charlbeen configuring prosody like mad the last day but got it working nicely now https://xmpp.net/result.php?domain=charl.eu&type=client14:18
charli'm scoring better than the vast majority of other xmpp servers14:18
charlupgraded my ssl key from 2048 to 4096 bits14:18
charland had to disable sslv3 and some bad cipher14:19
charlheh, i see swissjabber also moved over to prosody now https://xmpp.net/result.php?domain=swissjabber.ch&type=client14:25
charlthey left all the ssl settings to the defaults though14:25
charlso they are slightly less secure than my current setup14:26
magespawnlater all15:37
Kiloscharl, are you working on that chat goodie?15:38
Kilosis that what you talking about15:39
Kilosinetpro, miskien moet jy ry15:42
Kilosdit kom van die suide lyk my15:42
inetproty Kilos15:47
Kilosyw sir15:48
charlKilos: no this is standard xmpp15:56
charlKilos: i got shot down on the idea so badly on #guardianproject that i kind-of got demotivated15:56
Kiloswho are they?15:57
charlthey have been working on end-to-end encryption (openpgp, otr etc) and voip on mobile phones15:57
Kilosah15:58
charlthey basically just told me to not start anything new and join an existing project15:58
Kilosotr is pretty good15:58
Kilosand dcc chat15:58
charlso i said that's great that's what i would also rather do if possible but there aren't any existing projects with enough overlap15:58
charlthen they told me to go and work on some xmpp client15:58
Kiloslol15:58
charland i was like eh that's not the idea15:58
charlbut quite honestly i don't think they even attempted to understand what i was on about15:59
Kilosif you have it worked out in your head what you wanna do then go for it man15:59
charlyeah but i need time and i didn't want to create yet another one man project15:59
Kiloswhy not?15:59
charlbecause one man projects have a really bad record when it comes to being maintained over the long run16:00
charland besides, the idea is not to fragment what's going on, the idea is to work on solid, practical and sustainable standards16:00
Kilosif its good when done then you dont need to share the praise16:00
charllol it's not about credit :)16:00
charlalthough, having been through a bunch of job interviews recently, having some credit can be useful16:01
Kiloswhy not?16:01
charli dunno... because i don't give a sh*t? :) i guess my ego doesn't need feeding?16:01
Kilossigh16:02
Kilosits got nothing to do with ego man16:02
charlKilos all i want is a good product, i don't care if my name is on it or not16:02
Kilosa job well done gives you self satisfaction16:02
charlyes, SELF satisfaction :)16:02
charlit's not about credit16:03
Kilosso do it for yourself then man16:03
Kilosgrrr16:03
charlok i get your point :)16:03
Kiloswho knows, you might start a revolution16:03
charlmaybe i let my sense of purpose run away with me sometimes16:03
charlyeah it starts with yourself right16:03
Kilosof course16:04
charlok lemme not shelve it yet16:05
Kilosdo it for yourself and keep notes so if you get outa your depth then you have the process to show when you ask for help somewhere16:05
charlbesides, it's almost the middle of winter right now and i get some time on my hands16:05
Kilosyoull waste the time riding around16:09
Kilosvisiting old buildings and things16:09

Kiloswhats happening18:16
nlsthznI have two options to study that will be of use to me in my current career... and both are impractical, more likely than not going to end up costing a lot of money and effort for zero return...18:19
nlsthznit is sad18:19
nlsthzn:(18:19
