| charl | whow i can get to brussels cheaply over the weekend | 10:57 |
| charl | i pay about 20 euro to get to roosendaal en then another 30 euro to get to brussels and back | 10:57 |
| charl | so i can do the whole trip in under 50 euro | 10:58 |
| charl | although, if i take the earlier train, it will be a little more expensive, but probably worth it | 10:58 |
| charl | interesting, seems like they took the mandatory microsoft account registration out of windows 8.1 | 13:45 |

| charl | sometimes you need that | 18:29 |
| charl | just don't turn into a real american :P | 18:29 |
| charl | don't forget where you came from | 18:30 |

| nlsthzn | meeting the 28th? | 18:34 |
| Kilos | yes\ | 18:34 |

| nlsthzn | awesome read | 18:37 |
| inetpro | nlsthzn: what book is that? | 18:38 |
| nlsthzn | http://hintjens.com/books Culture and Empire | 18:39 |
| nlsthzn | free ebook | 18:39 |
| nlsthzn | that isn't the main focus of the book but it touches on the subject | 18:40 |
| nlsthzn | something you guys might enjoy to look through - https://github.com/vhf/free-programming-books/blob/master/free-programming-books.md | 18:41 |
| inetpro | nice | 18:41 |
| nlsthzn | that was odd | 18:48 |

| nlsthzn | yup, thought as much :p | 18:51 |
| Kilos | been probs again last few days | 18:51 |
| Symmetria | sup | 19:13 |
| Kilos | temps | 19:13 |
| Kilos | you use joomla Symmetria ? | 19:14 |
| Symmetria | lol why is it that in kenya I managed to get cable internet installed in my house on the same day I ordered it with 20megabit uncapped unshaped for R1k ZAR a month complete with 98 tv channels | 19:14 |
| Symmetria | but I can't get the same in south africa | 19:14 |
| Symmetria | (I put it in a temp solution while I wait for my fiber) | 19:14 |
| Kilos | slack in za | 19:14 |
| Symmetria | nope dont use joomla | 19:14 |
| Symmetria | heh, waiting for my fiber at home, they must hurry up but could take 3 weeks to get wayleaves | 19:15 |
| Kilos | have you an idea on how to get in if the passwd has been changed? | 19:15 |
| Kilos | there is no rush in za | 19:15 |
| Kilos | just mail the local bossman | 19:15 |
| Symmetria | kilos no idea | 19:16 |
| Symmetria | heh, dude, even if you get it installed in za | 19:16 |
| Symmetria | you're gonna pay more than double | 19:16 |
| Symmetria | 10meg uncapped in za if you include the price of phone line, dsl connection and isp account is more than a grand | 19:16 |
| Kilos | like hod of the govt there then they mail down the list and last oke moves | 19:16 |
| Symmetria | and doesnt ahve any tv channels on it or anything | 19:16 |
| Kilos | ouch | 19:16 |
| Kilos | join our meet on the 28th and give us bright ideas | 19:17 |
| Kilos | gonna be a za internet discussion | 19:18 |
| Symmetria | heh tomorrow I need to fix our latencies from uganda to south africa across the continent and then our gaming server will be pretty much ready to go :) | 19:18 |
| Symmetria | that will fix gaming al over the continent | 19:18 |
| Symmetria | and Ive got meetings tomorrow about buying mirror servers | 19:18 |
| Symmetria | mirror servers that make the old mirror.ac.za look like a joke | 19:18 |
| Symmetria | 256gig of ram, quad 8 core cpu, 200 terabytes of high speed equilogix disk space | 19:19 |
| Kilos | wow | 19:19 |
| charl | when i was in kenya back in 2011 i also was really impressed | 19:20 |
| charl | the kenyans want to move forward, not like the south africans that just want to milk the last drop of blood from the telecoms industry | 19:20 |
| charl | i was shocked about how good the internet was in kenya compared to south africa at the time | 19:20 |
| Symmetria | heh charl we're launching a 100mbit to the home product shortly | 19:20 |
| charl | i went to kenya just coming from south africa back in august 2011 | 19:20 |
| Symmetria | we'll also be launching a 20meg uncapped service for like 700 bux a month | 19:21 |
| Symmetria | thats fiber to the home based | 19:21 |
| charl | 700 kenyan shillings? | 19:21 |
| Symmetria | nah rand | 19:21 |
| charl | kenya works in rand? | 19:21 |
| Symmetria | nah I converted :) | 19:21 |
| Symmetria | lol | 19:21 |
| charl | 700 kenyan shillings is practically nothing | 19:21 |
| Symmetria | hehehe nah I did the conversion | 19:21 |
| charl | if i remember correctly at the time it was 100 shillings to the euro | 19:21 |
| Symmetria | its about 6000 ksh | 19:21 |
| Symmetria | to 700 rand | 19:21 |
| charl | ah, yeah that sounds more logical | 19:22 |
| charl | well if i look at what i am paying right now - 60 euro per month for a 150 mbps connection | 19:22 |
| charl | then kenya is not far behind | 19:22 |
| charl | although, i should say, i have high quality bandwidth with a very low ping, and it never goes down | 19:22 |
| charl | i have not seen it go down in more than 2 years | 19:23 |
| Symmetria | heh Im cheating and pulling in a point of presence into my house so I can serve my neighbors ;p | 19:23 |
| Symmetria | which gives me 2 x 10G fibers into my study ;p | 19:23 |
| * Symmetria laughs | 19:23 | |
| charl | nice, why not | 19:23 |
| charl | a lot of people used to host stuff in their basements in the early years of the internet everywhere | 19:23 |
| charl | i have even seen photos from some closets in japan back in the early 90s | 19:24 |
| charl | back in 2004 i started working for an isp in south africa where we had fibre running into my office, i had a PoP standing right behind my desk | 19:24 |
| charl | at the time that was a big deal | 19:24 |
| Symmetria | heh my damn tv is busy updating its firmware off the internet and it must hurry up so I can go to bed, but its a ridiculously huge download the tv is doing | 19:25 |
| Symmetria | like 1.2 gig in tv firmware wtf | 19:25 |
| nlsthzn | night all | 19:25 |
| charl | how is that even possible | 19:25 |
| Symmetria | thats larger than a ubuntu linux server cd | 19:25 |
| charl | nlsthzn: have a good one! | 19:25 |
| charl | nlsthzn: and get better !!! :) | 19:25 |
| Symmetria | charl lol, these samsung smart tvs are well... pretty smart :) | 19:25 |
| nlsthzn | thx | 19:25 |
| charl | apparently :) | 19:25 |
| charl | i use my computer as a smart tv, i just connect a nice large external lcd/led edge lit screen | 19:26 |
| Symmetria | charl lol yeah but there is something about a 60" display that can stream stuff directly off plex servers and other things that rocks | 19:26 |
| charl | all of the tv i watch is iptv in any case, just play it with html5/flash/vlc | 19:26 |
| Symmetria | charl heh, plex server is what I use, with plex client installed on tv | 19:26 |
| Symmetria | plex > * | 19:26 |
| charl | was just googling it now | 19:27 |
| charl | looks very nice | 19:27 |
| Symmetria | http://www.alstonnetworks.net/temp/screens.jpg | 19:27 |
| Symmetria | you can see the tv there running plex | 19:27 |
| charl | heh nice setup | 19:28 |
| charl | although my neck would get strain with so many screens | 19:28 |
| Symmetria | heh was upgraded since I took that photo, I replaced the 2 left hand screens with the same ones that are on the right hand side | 19:28 |
| charl | i use two at the moment at work but the person from arbo warned me about it | 19:28 |
| Symmetria | those screens on the right in that photo are... very very very sweet | 19:29 |
| Symmetria | charl lol, you use a swivel chair in a setup like that, you have to | 19:29 |
| charl | they look extremely wide | 19:29 |
| Symmetria | the screens on the right are 29" 2560x1080p ultra-wide | 19:29 |
| charl | what aspect ratio are they | 19:29 |
| charl | ah i see | 19:29 |
| Symmetria | they U2913WM's | 19:29 |
| Symmetria | made by Dell | 19:29 |
| Symmetria | pricey fuckers though | 19:29 |
| charl | lol | 19:29 |
| charl | i bet | 19:30 |
| Symmetria | but they make for an awesome awesome work environment when you need a TON of terminal windows open | 19:30 |
| charl | for NOC type stuff i can understand | 19:30 |
| Symmetria | by biggest complaint with that setup is sadly, because linux and nvidia keep fighting with each other, it wont work properly in linux | 19:30 |
| charl | i like looking at NOC pictures, displays everywhere | 19:31 |
| Symmetria | linux nerfed the nvidia drivers so you can't do more than 3 screens | 19:31 |
| Symmetria | and linux pukes when it drives to boot that machine anyway because it doesnt know how to deal with the hardware in it | 19:31 |
| charl | yeah i am stuck with intel HD due to that reason | 19:31 |
| Symmetria | (that machine has 2 GTX 790 Ti Video Cards in it) | 19:31 |
| Symmetria | both on 16x PCI-E bus | 19:31 |
| charl | what irritates me is that all the new AMD laptops come with radeon graphics cards | 19:31 |
| Symmetria | heh, the graphics power int hat machine and the video encoding / decoding power is just SICK | 19:31 |
| charl | and that means AMD is out for me now, too | 19:31 |
| Symmetria | heh there is no card in the world though that outrun that 790 Ti | 19:32 |
| Symmetria | its SICK fast | 19:32 |
| Symmetria | and to have two of them in the same machine is just awesome sauce | 19:32 |
| Symmetria | I was gonna SLI them but chose not to | 19:32 |
| charl | i mostly use my machines for internet/development and watching tv/films so i don't need anything crazy fortunately | 19:32 |
| charl | otherwise i would also be stuck on windows | 19:32 |
| Symmetria | heh I use my machine for a ton of things but a lot of the video power is because I remux video etc | 19:33 |
| Symmetria | the reality is though, that in terms of video stuff, windows still has teh better apps | 19:33 |
| charl | yeah then you need it | 19:33 |
| Symmetria | adobe premiere and adobe after effects > * | 19:33 |
| charl | you guys do stuff with voip too? | 19:34 |
| Symmetria | hell of a lot of sip stuff | 19:34 |
| charl | at work we are migrating to microsoft lync now (i would rather have had a fully standards-based asterisk setup) | 19:34 |
| Symmetria | both over ip networks and over dedicated sat links | 19:34 |
| Symmetria | heh yeah see, we dont generally play with the software stuff though, the stuff we're doing is carrier grade on hardware platforms | 19:35 |
| charl | i like how lync is integrated with microsoft exchange and the presence automatically updates according to your calendar | 19:35 |
| charl | but i'm not a big fan of proprietary lock-ins | 19:35 |
| charl | i am using instant messaging now with the pidgin sipe plugin but i still need to get a hardware network-phone this month | 19:36 |
| charl | there are no soft clients for lync that run on linux and works with voip | 19:36 |
| charl | so i have pidgin for instant messaging and a network phone for voip | 19:36 |
| Symmetria | wtf this stupid netgear cable modem at my house.... has french firmware | 19:42 |
| Symmetria | and no way that I can see to switch it to english | 19:42 |
| Symmetria | :( its gonna surrender and die | 19:42 |
| charl | le revolution! | 19:44 |
| charl | i was in liege this past sunday, i just realise once again that i understand nothing of french | 19:44 |
| Symmetria | heh | 19:48 |
| Symmetria | this is a speedtest.net server | 19:48 |
| Symmetria | from a box that is like, half a kilometer from my house | 19:48 |
| Symmetria | connected to the same hub Im gonna be connected to | 19:48 |
| Symmetria | http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/3214916728 | 19:49 |
| Symmetria | its being constrained though by the isp thats hosting that test server | 19:49 |
| charl | that's not bad, for kenya | 19:49 |
| charl | although, i find speedtest isn't very good at measuring high bandwidth links in any case | 19:50 |
| Symmetria | heh, well, it would go a shitload faster IF the server could handle it | 19:50 |
| Symmetria | and yeah speedtest.net sux for high bandwidth links | 19:50 |
| charl | i think flash might be part of the problem | 19:50 |
| charl | if i do a speed test from work (gigabit ethernet locally with a 40gbps connection to the rest of the world) i can get about 800mbps down and 600mbps up to amsio | 19:51 |
| charl | but that's using iperf | 19:51 |
| charl | against a VM with 10gbps virtual ethernet | 19:52 |
| Symmetria | speedtest.net also SUCKS testing high bandwidth over long latencies | 19:52 |
| Symmetria | I mean | 19:52 |
| Symmetria | http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/3214925486 | 19:52 |
| Symmetria | thats a neotel speed test from kenya | 19:52 |
| Symmetria | the upload speed figure is complete horseshit, I know how much bandwidth is there | 19:53 |
| charl | iperf is for real speed tests, gives a much more realistic indication | 19:53 |
| charl | speedtest is just for testing crappy consumer dsl connections | 19:53 |
| Symmetria | lol yeah | 19:53 |
| charl | it's ok for testing connections like this stupid home cable connection to ziggo | 19:54 |
| charl | but my city doesn't have ftth yet | 19:54 |
| charl | they are busy converting the region, i'm hoping for this year, then i'm off ziggo with their overpriced service | 19:54 |
| charl | http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/3214930293 | 19:55 |
| charl | the worst thing about eurodocsis is that your upload speed is a tenth of your download | 19:55 |
| charl | this is what real internet looks like: http://www.breedbandarnhem.nl//thuis/snelheden | 19:57 |
| Symmetria | heh | 19:57 |
| Symmetria | anyway :) Im off to bed | 19:57 |
| Symmetria | gnight all | 19:57 |
| charl | have a good one | 19:57 |
| charl | i'm off too | 19:57 |
| Kilos | night | 19:58 |
| Kilos | night all. sleep tight | 20:13 |
