| diplo | Morning all, need a web host this morning. I need a shared ( for now ) box that I can telnet out of for socket calls | 08:43 |
| diplo | Anyone got any ideas? ( I'm in the process of setting up a VPS but not finished yet ) | 08:44 |
| DJones | popey: A couple of weeks back you were part of a conversation about routers/home hubs that would let you ssh in from the internal network using the external ip address and that some routers/hubs wouldn't let you do that, can you remember what the term was for the setting in the router that would allow you to do that | 08:52 |
| DJones | I've got something like NAT loopback in mind, but I'm not sure if thats right | 08:53 |
| ali1234 | DJones: NAT reflection | 09:09 |
| DJones | ali1234: Thanks | 09:09 |
| ali1234 | not all routers have the option, some will always support it, some never will | 09:10 |
| DJones | Just found out by accident this morning that the latest Sky routers support it | 09:10 |

| bigcalm | Coo | 09:28 |
| bigcalm | Though that Sponge Bob is freaking me out | 09:28 |
| AlanBell | gosh, we only did the gingerbread house from IKEA | 09:28 |
| Myrtti | the trainstation they did is eerily accurate | 09:29 |
| bigcalm | Is that Helsinki? I thought I recognised it | 09:29 |
| Myrtti | http://files.snstatic.fi/HS/2013/12/piparit/pix/rautatieasema.jpg | 09:30 |
| Myrtti | yeah that one | 09:30 |
| bigcalm | Yep | 09:30 |
| Myrtti | but yeah, there's Hogwarts (Tylypahka), Smaug (I think), few churches | 09:30 |
| TheOpenSourcerer | Thing is, they'll all look the same once your fork does it's work ;-) | 09:30 |
| bigcalm | 4th from the bottom looks as though it's been 3d printed | 09:31 |
| jussi | the tardis is cool :D | 09:31 |
| Myrtti | they probably printed a model on paper and put it underneath baking parchment and extruded the meringue on that | 09:31 |
| Myrtti | like you'd do 3Doodler ones | 09:32 |
| popey | DJones: i dont recall | 09:32 |
| popey | Morning btw | 09:34 |
| MooDoo | morning | 09:39 |
| bigcalm | Ratio at 1.51. I wonder for how long this torrent will be popular | 09:42 |
| jussi | unbelievable but true.... I BLOGGED o.O This happens like 2x a year :P | 09:42 |
| bigcalm | jussi: about as frequently as me then :) Last entry was from February | 09:43 |
| jussi | hehe | 09:43 |
| jussi | must be the christmas feel | 09:43 |
| ali1234 | http://imgur.com/peilfAh | 09:45 |
| bigcalm | Oh my god | 09:46 |
| bigcalm | Argh | 09:46 |
| bigcalm | I don't know if "ugly" is the right word here | 09:46 |
| ali1234 | it's the teeth | 09:46 |
| ali1234 | makes me lol every time | 09:46 |
| jussi | scary? | 09:47 |
| jussi | hrm, any wordpress themers here... ? | 09:47 |
| ali1234 | i know how themes work... i'm not a designer though | 09:48 |
| jussi | ali1234: hrm, I want to basically have something created that in essence, copies the colours fo my qualle theme | 09:48 |
| jussi | quassel* | 09:49 |
| ali1234 | that's pretty easy | 09:49 |
| jussi | cant seem to type this morning... maybe need more coffee | 09:49 |
| ali1234 | just find a theme you like, and then hack the CSS to change all the colours | 09:49 |
| jussi | the current one is pretty ok... | 09:50 |
| jussi | http://jussi01.com/ | 09:50 |
| ali1234 | you will want to make a child theme | 09:50 |
| ali1234 | http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes | 09:51 |
| ali1234 | then just override all the colours | 09:51 |
| jussi | ok. shoudl be pretty easy... guess Ill give it a go tonight.... | 09:51 |
| jussi | Many people like my quassel theme, might be nice to try release it as a WP theme also | 09:52 |
| jussi | (curently looks like: http://i.imgur.com/mrD3P41.png) | 09:52 |
| ali1234 | quassel the irc client? | 09:52 |
| jussi | yup | 09:52 |
| ali1234 | WP themes are a lot more than just colours | 09:53 |
| jussi | jeah, I know, but for starters the colours are th important bit | 09:53 |
| SuperMatt | I tend to override colours in css | 09:53 |
| jussi | dammit, I think Ive lost my long 3.5mm extension cord :/ | 09:56 |
| bigcalm | I've just noticed that ABP has blocked 7 'ads' on my own blog. Is there a way to find out what it has blocked? | 09:56 |
| bigcalm | That's quite a short extension | 09:56 |
| foobarry | it used to be easier to check that | 09:57 |
| jussi | bigcalm: no.... its an extension for 3.5mm plugs :P | 09:57 |
| jussi | its 5 M | 09:57 |
| bigcalm | Aha, the list is visible in Firefox | 09:59 |
| bigcalm | jussi: :P | 09:59 |
| jussi | bigcalm: you shouldnt be that nasty :P | 10:00 |
| popey | bigcalm: I'd use ghostery, it tells you exactly what's blocked if you block it | 10:07 |
| brobostigon | good morning everyone. | 10:07 |

| AlanBell | yup | 11:08 |
| SuperMatt | jussi: ah yes | 11:09 |
| ali1234 | popey: does that need chrome? | 11:10 |
| popey | i am using chromium | 11:18 |
| popey | but firefox works too | 11:18 |
| ali1234 | do i have to get someone else o join before the button works? | 11:21 |
| popey | which button? | 11:21 |
| diplo | I'd like to see it as well so up for testing :) | 11:21 |

| ali1234 | it doesn't seem to do anything | 11:23 |
| diplo | Button is disabled ref share screen | 11:23 |
| neuro | "http://help.popey.com/ wants to use your camera and microphone." Errr, no ;) | 11:33 |
| AlanBell | neuro: well that is kinda the point of the thing | 11:33 |
| neuro | yeah but i don't want to HAVE to put clothes on ffs | 11:33 |
| Laney | hot | 11:33 |
| neuro | caveat: i am wearing clothes | 11:33 |
| neuro | people say this to me all the time when they learn i work from home | 11:34 |
| neuro | "oh, must be great to work in your PJs/boxers/the nude" | 11:34 |
| neuro | and i'm like ewwwww | 11:34 |
| diplo | ah so i didn't get the prompt under FF, get it under Chromium | 11:35 |
| Laney | i think it crashed firefox | 11:35 |
| Laney | boom, the browser goes down | 11:37 |
| ali1234 | i can't get it to work at all in chrome or firefox | 11:39 |
| neuro | i wonder if i can start a kickstarter campaign to raise funds to replace my busted apple display ... | 11:40 |
| ali1234 | update-manager has really get extremely annoying | 11:41 |
| ali1234 | it pops up every hour here | 11:41 |
| MooDoo | neuro: what's the perks? | 11:41 |
| ali1234 | and when you "disable" it, it still pops up an empty window | 11:41 |
| neuro | i get a monitor that works | 11:41 |
| MooDoo | neuro: for us, autographed tshirt? | 11:42 |
| neuro | you get the satisfaction of knowing i have a monitor that works | 11:42 |
| popey | can I actively not contribute so I have the satisfaction of knowing you don't have one? | 11:43 |
| neuro | no | 11:43 |
| MooDoo | I'll give you part of a bit coin 101010100101010100101010010101010101 there you go | 11:43 |

| MooDoo | ah well | 11:44 |
| bigcalm | My proliant micro server is great at what it does dat to day. But it sucks when you want to import a 3.1GB mysql dump. Speed does not happen | 11:44 |
| popey | how much ram? | 11:44 |
| bigcalm | 8GB | 11:44 |
| bigcalm | I think | 11:44 |
| bigcalm | Yes | 11:45 |
| neuro | the microserver isn't exactly built for speed | 11:45 |
| neuro | but you probably know this already :) | 11:45 |
| bigcalm | Did somebody work out how to put 16GB of RAM into one? | 11:45 |
| bigcalm | neuro: aye, does what it needs to do for little power. I like my microserver :) | 11:46 |
| neuro | the N40L should take 2x8 no problem | 11:46 |
| neuro | i like mine too, but i don't use it for anything more grunty than rsnapshot backups and bastion ingress | 11:46 |
| bigcalm | I can never remember which model I have, but I think it's the N40L | 11:46 |
| neuro | it's the one with the dual core turion | 11:47 |
| bigcalm | Considering work bought me 8GB of ECE, I'd rather not throw it away ;) | 11:47 |
| neuro | model name: AMD Turion(tm) II Neo N40L Dual-Core Processor | 11:47 |
| bigcalm | model name: AMD Turion(tm) II Neo N40L Dual-Core Processor | 11:48 |
| neuro | there you go ;) | 11:48 |
| bigcalm | Oh yes :) | 11:48 |
| neuro | i just have the stock 2GB in mine | 11:48 |
| bigcalm | It took 7m22s to dump from the Rackspace production server. Still waiting for the local import to complete | 11:50 |
| neuro | moving your dbs to ssd would probably help | 11:50 |
| neuro | plus MOAR RAMS | 11:50 |
| bigcalm | Heh | 11:51 |
| bigcalm | It's not often that I have to import a production dump | 11:51 |
| neuro | i have to try and sell moving our db cluster from stock amazon EC2 instances to PIOPS ones at some point | 11:51 |
| neuro | also at some point i need to do a centos/win->ubuntu migration for most of our stuff | 11:52 |
| neuro | mind you, i've been saying we're going to do that for months and i just haven't found the time *sigh* | 11:53 |
| awilkins | We should so ditch Oracle and go for PostgreSQL | 12:03 |
| MooDoo | mongodb if czajkowski was here ;) | 12:03 |
| neuro | why postgres rather than mysql? | 12:03 |
| awilkins | PostgreSQL has a PL/SQL compatibility layer | 12:03 |
| neuro | ew, ok | 12:03 |
| neuro | ;) | 12:04 |
| awilkins | Plus it's more enterprisey than MySQL | 12:04 |
| awilkins | Enterprisey counts for a lot | 12:04 |
| bigcalm | I hate that term | 12:04 |
| neuro | yeah | 12:04 |
| awilkins | I use it with the finest tone of irony possible | 12:04 |
| neuro | like "foody" | 12:04 |
| neuro | ah, i did not detect that | 12:04 |
| awilkins | We used to have a org-wide license for Oracle | 12:05 |
| neuro | gah, why does all helpdesk software either be sucky and/or be stupidly expensive | 12:05 |
| awilkins | I think now we have to buy our own | 12:05 |
| awilkins | neuro, Because it's enterprisey | 12:05 |
| neuro | lol, touché | 12:05 |
| bigcalm | Why do I always forget about pipe viewer? | 12:08 |
| neuro | Because reasons. | 12:09 |
| bigcalm | Of course | 12:09 |
| bigcalm | Considering it's been more than 20 mins since I started the import, I don't want to start it again with pv in place | 12:10 |
| MartijnVdS | such useful! | 12:10 |

| foobarry | the only star wars are 4-6 | 15:47 |
| SuperMatt | neuro: what foobarry said | 15:48 |
| SuperMatt | I was mislead when I bought this star wars calendar | 15:48 |
| SuperMatt | I thought it would actually have star wars characters in it :P | 15:48 |
| foobarry | i should sell my yak face character sometime | 15:49 |
| foobarry | worth about £80 | 15:49 |
| SuperMatt | nice little markup there | 15:51 |
| neuro | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdEUwHF7d7I | 15:51 |
| foobarry | got battle damaged x-wing in box | 15:51 |
| foobarry | etc etc | 15:51 |
| neuro | WHEN THE FACE IS A PRUNE, ACTION GOES *BOOM* | 15:52 |
| daftykins | in fairness i'm a geek but consider Star Wars to be overrated tosh :D | 15:55 |
| neuro | oh dear | 15:55 |
| * daftykins ducks from the impending flying tomatoes | 15:55 | |
| foobarry | i'm not a geek and 4-6 was my childhood | 15:55 |
| foobarry | i hate star trek programme and all the soap opera derivatives | 15:55 |
| daftykins | there's a distinct lack of good sci-fi out there | 15:58 |
| SuperMatt | what's your definition of good sci-fi? | 15:58 |
| neuro | foobarry: you "hate star trek programme"?! | 16:00 |
| foobarry | neuro: yes | 16:01 |
| neuro | you know there's more than one, right? | 16:01 |
| SuperMatt | I recently watched all of TNG and had a great time doing so | 16:01 |
| foobarry | programmes and their derivatives | 16:01 |
| neuro | how can you "hate" star trek, is what interests me | 16:02 |
| foobarry | i hate most soap operas | 16:03 |
| foobarry | *all | 16:03 |
| foobarry | my wife watches some of those star trek ones | 16:03 |
| foobarry | worf , stryker, counsellor troy etc | 16:03 |
| neuro | you know star trek isn't a soap opera, right? | 16:03 |
| foobarry | oh? | 16:04 |
| foobarry | is casualty a soap? | 16:04 |
| neuro | technically it's a drama, but i'd say it's more soap these days | 16:04 |
| foobarry | A soap opera, often referred to simply as a soap, is a serial drama, on television or radio, that features multiple related story lines dealing with the lives of multiple characters | 16:05 |
| foobarry | The stories in these series typically focus heavily on emotional relationships to the point of melodrama. | 16:05 |
| neuro | it sounds like you haven't really watched a lot of star trek, if any, or if you have watched some, you've managed to watch the rubbish episodes (e.g. most of S1-2 of TNG) | 16:05 |
| foobarry | yep. soap | 16:05 |
| neuro | errr | 16:05 |
| neuro | no | 16:05 |
| neuro | ail | 16:05 |
| foobarry | that annoying gamlbing creature | 16:05 |
| neuro | fail | 16:05 |
| neuro | the annoying gambling creature? | 16:06 |
| neuro | do you mean Quark? | 16:06 |
| foobarry | i don't know his name. | 16:06 |
| foobarry | yes | 16:06 |
| neuro | he's one of the best characters in DS9 | 16:06 |
| foobarry | i've been told geeks get strong feelings about their soaps | 16:06 |
| neuro | ah | 16:06 |
| neuro | ok | 16:06 |
| neuro | you're trolling | 16:06 |
| neuro | never mind | 16:07 |
| foobarry | depends who's trolling who | 16:07 |
| foobarry | i said i don't like those star trek programmes and related spinoffs | 16:07 |
| foobarry | loosely related | 16:07 |
| bigcalm | How do you get `ps` to output memory per process as a human readable amount (MB) rather than a percentage of the system's total? | 16:07 |
| foobarry | i've been exposed to a lot by my wife | 16:07 |
| neuro | foobarry: anything further you have to say on the subject is probably you trying to troll us (or specifically me), so let's talk about something else | 16:08 |
| foobarry | ok | 16:08 |
| neuro | bigcalm: this is pretty ridiculous, if you're interested: | 16:09 |
| neuro | ps -eo size,pid,user,command | awk '{ hr=$1/1024 ; printf("%13.6f Mb ",hr) } { for ( x=4 ; x<=NF ; x++ ) { printf("%s ",$x) } print "" }' | sort | 16:09 |
| bigcalm | o.O | 16:09 |
| neuro | i know | 16:09 |
| bigcalm | That's rather silly. Thanks though :) | 16:09 |
| neuro | probably needs a -n at the end | 16:09 |
| bigcalm | MySQL using 1.2GB :D | 16:10 |
| bigcalm | I'm going to stick that in an alias! | 16:10 |
| neuro | that's not an unreasonable amount | 16:11 |
| TwistedLucidity | According to that - plasma desktop is sucking down 2.7GB, kwin 2.4GB, XBMC 1.2GB | 16:11 |
| TwistedLucidity | :-S | 16:11 |
| neuro | i have a slave over here using 9G | 16:11 |
| TwistedLucidity | And those figures don't seem to match top - odd | 16:13 |
| neuro | i think it's looking at the vm value | 16:13 |
| neuro | memory usage reporting on unix is weird | 16:13 |
| neuro | then again, i'm using 13.5G of unswapped memory on a machine with 8G ram, go figure | 16:14 |

| * bigcalm does so | 16:40 | |
| neuro | weird | 16:44 |
| neuro | i don't get the correlation ;) | 16:44 |
| neuro | but then again there are loads of windows start up sounds | 16:44 |
| bigcalm | Humm, I'm now reminded of the music from 'Rendezvous with Rama' game | 16:44 |
| TwistedLucidity | Should be changed to the sound of someone up-chucking | 16:45 |
| bigcalm | Oops, Rama (1996) not Rendezvous with Rama (1984) | 16:45 |
| bigcalm | Nobody has made 'Rama' available for modern systems? I would have thought the gog.com would have it | 16:50 |
