diddledanwow04:57
Azelphursorry, 15%04:57
diddledanwhat's happened?04:57
Azelphura matter of hours ago it was 25%04:57
Azelphurthey stopped bitcoin withdrawals, closed their twitter account, shut down offices, fired customer service employees, quit the bitcoin foundation, and now their website is gone too04:58
Azelphurlooks like they are taking the money and running, basically04:58
diddledanoh bugger04:58
MartijnVdSgood thing there are alternatives04:59
Azelphurrumors of insolvency are flying, and gradually gaining evidence04:59
Azelphurindeed04:59
Azelphurcausing a major crash though04:59
mappssee this is the thing with all thois bitcoin with it being unregiulated largely there's been quite a lot of these things start up work for a bit..then suddenly close and dissapear05:14
mappssometimes theyve been 'hacked' so they say..who can prove it? like Silk road 2.0 was hacked resulting in loss of loads of btc05:15
mappswasnt mt gox the biggest btc exchange at one point? so it wasnt hacked ? they just shut up shop?05:15
MartijnVdSmapps: They blame their current downtime on a mis-feature (bug?) in the bitcoin protocol05:17
MartijnVdSbut then it stayed down05:17
mappsyea05:17
MartijnVdSso people think the owners took the money and ran05:17
mappsthey stopped witjdrawls a month ago05:17
mappsyea05:17
MartijnVdSif there was any left05:17
mappsthey didnt suffer any hack or anything did they?05:17
MartijnVdSunknown05:17
mappswhy wouldnt there be MartijnVdS  if they werent hacked05:17
mappsthey were the biggest exchange?05:17
MartijnVdSmapps: because of that "transaction malleability" bug05:18
mappsis it true?05:19
mappsor was it just a lie they said tho05:19
MartijnVdSif they use bad software (and they tend to -- from past experience), they could have spent more of their money than intended05:19

kaushalHi07:43
MooDoohello kaushal07:43
jussiMooDoo: ahh, interesting.07:43
kaushalCan someone please help me understand the difference between tailf and tail -f?07:44
MooDoojussi: phil zimmerman is part of it07:44
kaushalMooDoo: Hello07:44
jussiMooDoo: who is phil zimmerman?07:44
kaushalI am really not able to understand07:44
MooDookaushal: It is similar to tail -f but does not  access  the  file when  it  is not growing.07:45
kaushalMooDoo: not sure still i understand07:45
kaushalMooDoo: any examples?07:45
MooDootail -f monitors the file all the time, looks for changes them displays them.07:46
MooDootailf only reports the changes when they happen otherwise it leaves the file alone.07:46
MooDooman tailf from the command line :d07:46
kaushalMooDoo: so typically i should be using tail -f instead of tailf?07:47
diddledanhah "the heat" movie is fun07:47
MooDookaushal: I use tail -f never considered using tailf before07:47
diddledanwait, there's a tailf command?!07:48
diddledanthat's far too sensible07:48
jussididdledan: *zing*07:48
MooDoodiddledan: shhhh but I didn't know either, I just man tailf 'd it ;)07:48
diddledanI need to put that into a script we use at work07:49
diddledanmuch friendlier to an ssd I guess as a byproduct07:49
diddledanhmm, doesn't look like os x has it available07:51

foobarrybecause they are kids09:21

MartijnVdSali1234: at least it's not hackernews09:22
ali1234because they are all 18-30 and unemployed09:23
foobarryoh i didn't sub to those subreddits when i used it09:23
ali1234you mean you just read the default subs?09:23

DJonesIs it right that Ubuntu (from the phones perspective) is "Deep down, Ubuntu is based on Android, but Canonical has spent the last year replacing Android's innards with its own technology"09:52
MooDooThought ubuntu touch was ubuntu to be honest09:53
DJonesSo did I09:55
DJonesThats a comment in a review on cnet.com09:56
popeyyeah, i saw that too09:56
popeyi think that's a reporter paraphrasing09:56
popey"deep down" (meaning kernel) "is based on Android" (AOSP)09:57
popeywhich is true.09:57
DJonesI think they'd have been better describing it the reverse way though, deep down, android and ubuntu are based on linux09:58
ali1234that's pretty much backwards09:59
ali1234that's what reporters do09:59
ali1234that's not really true at all09:59
ali1234which part of AOSP is it based on?09:59
BigRedSI thought Ubuntu Touch was essentially Android with Canonical's own display bits and bobs09:59
DJonesWas just trying to get an idea of what the hardware specs for the Ubuntu phones will be & how they'll compare to the Galaxy S5/Nexus 509:59
popeyBigRedS: define android09:59
ali1234that also isn't true. ubuntu and android are two things you can run on linux that have almost nothing at all in common beyond that09:59
popeyBigRedS: for many "android" means the android bsp plus dalvik/dart plus a load of classes10:00
popeywe don't ship the vast majority of that10:00
ali1234android is surface flinger, dalvik, rild, and google's proprietary apps10:00
popeyand of that list we use rild10:00
BigRedSah right10:00
foobarryi never tried the android multi window, is it available?10:00
ali1234most people have no idea what rild even is10:01
foobarryi.e. me10:02
ali1234rild is a system service that provides an abstraction of the phone hardware10:02
BigRedSas in the hardware of the system, or just the GSMy bits?10:02
ali1234the GSMy bits10:02
ali1234not that any phone uses GSM these days10:03
ali12343 will shut down your account if your phone can't do 3G10:03
MartijnVdSRadio Interface L.... Daemon?10:03
foobarry?10:03
BigRedSsurely 3G coverage isn't good enough to do that?10:04
ali1234GSM = 1G devices that could only do internet at 9600 bps using accoustic modulation and 2G GPRS devices10:04
ali1234BigRedS: 3 has no 2G network, they have to pay other companies if you use 2G on your 3 account10:05
BigRedSAh, so it's just/mostly 3 doing that?10:06
ali1234so if your phone *only* does 2G you are never actually using their network, and costing them loads of money10:06
ali1234afaik, yes10:06
BigRedSah, that sounds more reasonable :)10:06
dwatkins_is 4G available in many places [in the UK] yet?10:07
ali1234yes, if you live in london10:07
MartijnVdSor birmingham, liverpool, manchester, bristol/cardiff10:08
dwatkins_I know someone in Reading who insists he's on 5G, I'm not sure that's even been developed yet.10:08
MartijnVdSdwatkins_: "Well MY dad is on 6G!"10:09
ali1234if you live in manchester don't expect it to work more than half a mile outside the city centre10:09
=== dwatkins_ is now known as dwatkins
dwatkinsMartijnVdS: well quite :)10:09
MartijnVdSali1234: I live on the 7th floor, I get 1 bar of 4G from a transmitter ~15km away. And it doesn't handoff to 2G properly when there's a call (because it expects the 2G base station to be nearer to it, or something) :|10:11
ali1234well the answer is clear10:12
MartijnVdSali1234: wait another month for the network to be extended?10:12
dwatkinsI used to live amongst many many stone buildings, I had to get a microcell to be able to consistently use my mobile (on Vodafone at the time)10:12
ali1234no i was going to say get a phone that doesn't do 4G since they're a waste of money anyway10:12
MartijnVdSali1234: but this phone is only 4 months old, it's a nexus 510:13
MartijnVdSali1234: which is *cheap* by 4G phone standards, too10:13
dwatkinsI can stream radio stations on my 3G phone, I don't need anything faster than that10:18
* dwatkins is aware he sounds like a grumpy old man10:18
ali1234that's ridiculous. buy a radio10:19
dwatkinsthe stuff I like to listen to isn't available via DAB10:19
foobarryyesterday i got to work and the pillow crease was still on my face. i am old10:19

davmor2MooDoo: ah allow me to slap you out of it.10:49
diddledanI accidentally bought a load of pibits10:49
MartijnVdSdiddledan: piwhats?10:49
MooDoodavmor2: yes by all means do so10:49
diddledanbits10:49
MartijnVdSdiddledan: yes but what are they?10:50
MooDoohttps://github.com/richardghirst/PiBits10:50
MooDoolol or just bits of addons for the raspberry pi10:51
MartijnVdSMooDoo: you don't *buy* lots of copies of a github project usually, do you? ;)10:52
MartijnVdSclone them, sure10:52
MartijnVdSbut buying?10:52
diddledanbesides the adafruit gps module I already got, I took delivery this morning of 2x4GB SD cards, 2xAdafruit Pi T-Cobblers, 2xRPis a USB-to-ttl cable, a breadboard wire pack and 2x3xbreadboards (1x half-sized, and 1x quarter-sized)10:52
MartijnVdSdiddledan: cool :)10:53
MooDooMartijnVdS: yes but I just googled and put in the first link I found, bit hasty in hind sight lol10:55
diddledanI guess I need to brush-up on my soldering skillz10:59
foobarryhmm. iscsi on a 10GB nic. hdparm speeds of a vm are 250MB/sec. add another 10GB nic to the mix...new hdparm 180MB/s11:07
foobarryah. one vmk had 1500 mtu. fix that and now 230MB/s11:09
foobarrytbh i would expect nearer 1GB/s11:12
daftykinsfoobarry: modifying the MTU to what?11:16
foobarry900011:16
daftykinswould the adapter/OS not be bright enough to auto switch to jumbo frames or the like?11:17
foobarrynot on vsphere you need to set it .11:17
daftykinsah11:18
daftykinsheh, i was xbox gaming with friends as usual last night, but one had moved house up in England (Uni student) but he was getting NAT issues11:18
daftykinsUPnP was on, so that didn't make any sense - ending up spotting this little Linksys had firmware from ~2006 whereas the latest available was from 2013 :D11:19
daftykinsi was on his machine over teamviewer then just updated the firmware - found it odd i could see the entire progress bar go whilst still connected11:19
daftykinshe rejoined and everything worked :D11:20
foobarryhad similar experience when i moved into house11:23
foobarryprevious owner said broadband was flaky11:23
davmor2MooDoo: if it helps https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos?pid=5981724436439944274&oid=10424416452555950610111:23
foobarryleft the adsl modem/router behind11:23
foobarryhe was right, but updated the firmware and it fixed the prob11:23
daftykinshehe11:23
daftykinsit's great when things are that straightforward11:26
MooDoodavmor2: it's black dude11:28
davmor2MooDoo: it should be some seals oinking11:28
MooDoolol no I can't see it chap, but it made me smile any way :D11:29
daftykinsmaybe they're black seals in the dark of a moonless night11:31
MooDooit made me smile :D11:45
MooDoodavmor2: like it :D11:46
daftykinsis it odd that with a friends university's redhat server he's being advised to run 'sudo su' to switch to root 0o12:16
davmor2Last night we did some shoping at sainsbury's and I clock and 80's anthems 5cd set in the bargain bin.  You know it's a good selection when it start with "It takes Two" and cd 5 starts with "Relax" :)12:16
MooDoodaftykins: seems legit, he might be logged in as a non root user and they use sudo to allow students to go to root12:17
Laneysudo -i12:18
daftykinsMooDoo: yep but sudo su is bad practice in ubuntu land12:19
daftykinsLaney: yeah -s and -i can't be used as his user has no rights to execute /bin/bash apparently12:19
MooDoodaftykins: ubuntu != redhat :p12:20
daftykinsyeah i know12:22
daftykinsthis is why i'm asking12:22
foobarrysudo su - is equivalent to sudo -i more or less tho12:22
MooDoosorry I'm just being awkward :)12:22
* daftykins chases MooDoo with a holepunch12:25
MooDoono no giggle giggle ;)12:26
MooDoook I didn't say that12:28

mappsno real need for it mind:P18:06
DJonesooh, nice, Amazon have brought back the laptop I was originally thinking of getting and its £200 cheaper than the model with 16Gb memory and an 8gb ssd18:08
mappsnice what cpu?18:09
DJonesmapps: i7-4700MQ, 1TB hdd, 8GB ram18:09
DJones1920x1080 display18:10
DJoneshttp://www.amazon.co.uk/Lenovo-Y510p-15-6-inch-Notebook-Processor/dp/B00FSBFBD2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1393351633&sr=8-1&keywords=y510p18:10
mappsnice  ive got an i5 8gb ram18:10
mappstought you said 16gb ram18:10
mappsooh lenovo never had a lenovo laptop18:10
guinness6554Hi. I am trying to port the ubuntu touch for nexus 5.  I know that there are people who already dealing with I just wanna do it 4 fun and I am a bit stacked. Is there anybody who could help me a bit?18:10
DJonesCan get it with 16Gb with 8GB ssd as well as the 1TB hdd, but don't see the point of that ssd18:11
mappswhats the problem guinness6554  - i was thinking about trying it with my nexus7 today as it happens18:11
DJonesguinness6554: Probably a good place to ask that would be in #ubuntu-touch I think most of the people with experience will be in that channel18:11
guinness6554thanks18:12
DJonesmapps: Just adding the extra 8gb ram + small ssd adds £200 to the price18:12
mappsahh18:12
DJonesWhat would be the point of such a small SSD18:14
DJonesINfo just says Up to 24GB of SSD cache, is there any benefit to having that18:15
bigcalmOS in the SSD?18:16
bigcalmData in the HDD?18:16
daftykinsDJones: they're operated by intel chipsets under Windows as transparent cache drives18:16
daftykinsso the OS only sees the mechanical volume, but has its' IO intelligently cached18:17
DJonesdaftykins: Thanks, so not actually usable for storage/install18:17
daftykinsoh they definitely can be18:17
daftykinsgiven the small footprint of Linux distros most people just shoehorn them onto there then symlink other things off to the mechanical to save space18:17
DJonesFor dual boot, do you think it would make any significant difference though18:18
daftykinsalthough actually it tends to depend, basically advertising the 8GB is a hallmark (often) of manufacturers trying to show off meeting the intel ultrabook specification18:18
daftykinslately i've been seeing systems which are actually SSHD's - solid state hybrid drives18:18
daftykinsso they have the 8+GB NAND built-in and handle the cache internally, transparent to the OS18:19
DJonesDay to day ue will just be Office apps, accounts package, email, web etc on windows, evening would be Ubuntu with games etc18:19
DJoness/ue/use/18:19
daftykinsumm dualboot? depends how you'd partition i guess18:19
daftykinsand whether it's one of the disks i mention18:19
daftykinslets see if i can remember which it is18:19
DJonesdaftykins: This is the machine with the 8gb ssd http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lenovo-Y510p-15-6-inch-Notebook-Processor/dp/B00FSBFBD2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1393351633&sr=8-1&keywords=y510p18:20
daftykinsmmm, lots of different configurations possible so can't really nail down the exact drive spec18:21
DJonesI think you're probably right about the drive being a hybred drive though, although the SSD could be fitted instead of the DVD drive18:23
daftykinsyeah i see there's a notebookreview.com thread talking about that model18:24
daftykinsDJones: http://hdd.userbenchmark.com/Seagate-Laptop-Thin-SSHD-500GB/Rating/1803&tab=Benchmarks18:24
daftykinsweird i can't find an english product info page at seagate18:25
directhexsshd is all the rage18:26
directhexall steamos boxes seem to use them18:26
daftykinscheapest implementation i guess18:26
directhexonly usable implementation18:28
directhexthere's a WD sshd which is implemented by baboons18:28
DJonesAhh18:28
DJonesThe Y510P is equipped with a 1 TB HDD along with a 24 GB SSD. The small SSD houses the operating system allowing for overall faster performance and quicker boot-up speeds. Unfortunately with such a small SSD users won’t be able to experience the same performance and load times for most programs, but the 1TB HDD offers plenty of memory for games, media and additional programs18:28
daftykinsyeah i saw that one :)18:28
daftykinsnasty driver18:28
daftykinsDJones: hrmm i don't think i believe that!18:29
directhexDJones, msata!18:29
DJonesThe £800 version still looks a good buy18:31
daftykinssome comments say that model has M.218:31
mappsdoes anyone know if its possible to make openvpn also use an http proxy ..i dont want to connect to openvpn through a proxy but i want it to use a proxy for web19:03
mappsif that makes sense19:03
neuromapps: openvpn isn't a proxy19:34
kvarleyI'm being a bit of a noob. I've restricted access to ssh via sshd_config for the "minions" group but I now can't login myself via SSH. I used to previously key login. Is it possible to have key login working for all users and to restrict users of the "minions" group but not for me?19:59

mappsjussi,  what's the average persons english like in Finland? good i guess|?20:47
jussimapps: the younger generation excellent. older people, not so much20:48

jussiIve been to budapest20:51
mappsenjoyed it|20:52
mapps?20:52
shaunobudapest was neat, but way too hot.  their money boggles my mind though20:54
MartijnVdSI've been to Prague, hated it.20:55
shaunoreally?20:55
MartijnVdSshauno: nobody speaks a language I understand, buildings are all black from years of neglect20:55
mappshe missed the redlight too much20:55
mapps:D20:55
mappshmm20:56
mappsi didnt see all these black buildings20:56
MartijnVdSshauno: shady crap salesmen *everywhere*, even worse than Rome20:56
mappsand i agree with the 'nobody speaks alanguage' --- the english over there is VERY VERY poor20:56
mappseven the younger generation..my friend lives in Nymburk 1hr from Prague and we met up with him and his friends (19-mid 20s) and most of them barely understood me20:56
shaunoI've not had a problem with the language so much20:57
mappsthe Dutch folk understood everything I said :)20:57
MartijnVdSmapps: maybe they just went "Didn't understand a word. Better put more beer in him."20:57
shaunobut yeah, 'dodgy crap salesmen' are getting worse, everywhere20:57
mappslol20:58
MartijnVdShaven't seen them in Amsterdam yet :)20:58
mappsna it was his friends they basically just understood a little20:58
mappsMartijnVdS,  i have!20:58
shaunoI had someone in bratislava trying to sell me wooden giraffes at christmas.  unfortunately I was quite tipsy and may have laughed quite loudly20:58
MartijnVdSmapps: the shady guys who sell sunglasses/fake rolexes/etc.?20:58
mappsblack guy walking around the sports cafe trying to sell drugs lol20:58
mappsooh no20:58
mappsand romanians offering people drugs at night20:58
mappsbut not fake rolexes etc20:58
MartijnVdSthe only time I've ever been offered drugs was in Berlin 8-)20:59
shaunolast time I noticed them, handbags was the big thing20:59
mappshad the same in Prague -- walking back at 4am some guy bugging me to buy coke..first off a) i dont want it secondly b) it's clearly not even drugs20:59
shaunoonly time I really noticed drugs is when I went on a wander with a friend from the states.  he looks .. well, like a sociology student21:01
shaunowe got approached *everywhere*21:01
MartijnVdS"looks like a sociology student"?21:01
MartijnVdSdo those look any different from other people/21:02
shaunoyes21:03
MartijnVdS.. how?21:03
shaunowhen he left for college he looked like a choirboy.  by time he got here, he had dreads21:04
shaunowhich just look messy when you're naturally blonde21:04
MartijnVdSah yes, the dreads21:04
shaunoit was interesting though, going to the same places as two lads instead of a 'young couple', and coming away with a completely different view on the place21:08
directhexi've only been offered sex once when strolling through town. admittedly it was the red light district in hamburg21:17
mappsthere were some nice girls in redlight in Holland21:17
shaunoheh, we found that in barcelona too21:17
mappsnone are locals tho21:17
directhexhamburg is the only city i've been to that sells souvenir tat at the airport for the red light district21:24
