[07:59] Like targeted specifically at people with an I.Q lower than 100 [07:59] $ sudo sieze -min 100 [07:59] or something [07:59] hahaha [07:59] good morning [07:59] Maaz: coffee on [07:59] * Maaz starts grinding coffee [08:00] hi charl_ [08:00] Maaz coffee please [08:00] Kilos: Alrighty [08:01] hi Kilos [08:01] i'm busy testing trusty right now but it's a disaster [08:01] they have a lot to fix up in the next two months [08:01] i am a bit surprised considering that it's an LTS release [08:01] i have a feeling canonical is trying to push too many features instead of focusing on stability and reliablity [08:02] it will be fix in time [08:02] the latter of course being two things that gnu/linux has always been known for [08:02] i want the new kubuntu [08:02] well i hope so but right now it's looking pretty bad [08:02] you could probably just install the kubuntu-desktop package on it... maybe i will try it [08:03] there is a channel where you can watch them doing the fixing i think [08:03] some development channel ? [08:03] i want to try keep kde pure [08:03] ya [08:03] i forget what it was called [08:03] Coffee's ready for charl_ and Kilos! [08:03] well there are at least 200 mb of updates in a single day [08:03] maybe #ubuntu-dev [08:03] i guess they are actively busy [08:04] no that isn't it, they only have one person there [08:04] they rev the last week [08:04] Maaz: thanks [08:04] charl_: Sure [08:04] oh my [08:04] ask the weed he will know [08:04] Maaz ty [08:04] You are welcome Kilos [08:04] i have an irritating bug that i want fixed [08:05] or ask deve [08:05] i use bitlbee with libpurple and sipe [08:05] the version of sipe on debian stable is constantly trying to connect to some group chat user that doesn't exist on my domain [08:05] i am hoping it is fixed in the new version, so i want to check on trusty [08:06] you got the daily build thing [08:06] ? [08:06] yes [08:06] then make bug reports and theyll sort it [08:06] yeah that's the idea [08:07] i got i3 running under trusty now and it seems to be working great [08:07] unity is not at all usable [08:07] i am busy installing kubuntu-desktop now [08:07] i think they rely on bug reports to let everyone help find the bugs [08:07] that's not a bad thing, that's why i'm testing now [08:08] if this bug of mine isn't fixed i want to submit it under launchpad [08:08] and hope it gets in before the release [08:08] drussell am i right? [08:08] all bug reports go there i think [08:08] yes [08:08] there is a certain way of reporting bugs [08:08] auto thing [08:09] yeah i don't like using that, it collects data from my machine and sends that [08:09] i don't know how much it sends or what it sends [08:09] for all that i know it could be sending memory dumps containing passwords and other crap [08:09] thats what they need to see whats causing the bug man [08:09] no they not crooks [08:10] well i'm a programmer myself and i'm doubtful about how good those automated tools can be [08:10] but then again i mostly work in java and java has this thing called stack traces [08:10] they helped me lekker with 12.04 and the nm bug [08:10] that's generally quite safe and good to send [08:10] the nm bug ? [08:11] network manager didnt auto connect once modem seen and [08:11] ah [08:11] didnt see modem in the beginning [08:11] they mailed me scripts to add [08:12] nice [08:12] very helpful peeps [08:12] although, they should put all of that info on the wiki instead [08:12] *instead [08:12] then other people can also use it [08:12] they then work on the fixes so it comes in next update [08:13] ah ok that's good [08:13] haha logged into kde and i get the debian background [08:13] they probably ported the packages over across from debian [08:14] kde 4.12.2 looking good [08:14] oxygen also looking good [08:15] hey [08:15] ah here's the bug i was having earlier: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1055166 [08:15] /dev/sdb1 on /media/graeme/1TB type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096) [08:15] thats my next iso download, 64bit kubuntu [08:15] anyone know where those mount options are defined, i want to add one [08:15] it's an old one [08:15] ThatGraemeGuy: sorry what? you mean fstab? [08:16] no, when i plug in a usb drive and mount it, those mount options are applied automagically [08:16] they must be defined somewhere [08:16] oh the mount options, no idea [08:16] whats on the usb drive? [08:17] stuff [08:17] i don't auto mount anything [08:17] not really relevant [08:17] chown it [08:17] hehe [08:17] ok never mind [08:17] ThatGraemeGuy: what is the problem exactly? [08:18] Kilos: ok kde looking (very) good so far [08:18] yay [08:18] i don't think you have anything to worry about yet [08:18] ntfs-3g driver has an option called big_writes, which pretty much doubles its (terribad) write performance. i want to make it so that when i click the mount button on kubuntu's device manager thingy that option is always used [08:20] ah ok now it's clear [08:21] SnowyZA wb [08:22] ThatGraemeGuy: i am looking at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions [08:22] ThatGraemeGuy: if you do it system wide it's easy to specify the mount options in fstab [08:23] ThatGraemeGuy: however, it is not clear to me how to do this under per-user mounts [08:23] i don't want it in fstab for various reasons [08:25] ThatGraemeGuy: have you looked at https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/quantal/ntfs-config/ ? [08:26] write support is already enabled, i need to add a mount option [08:26] sorry should actually have linked to https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/saucy/ntfs-config/ [08:26] thought maybe it allows you some more options but i don't see it in the description [08:27] sorry no idea :) i don't have any ntfs partitions here [08:29] hi SCR1845-6357A [08:29] hi SCR1845-6357A [08:30] oh ThatGraemeGuy just an idea [08:30] do you have ntfsprogs installed [08:30] whow xubuntu is almost as much of a mess as unity [08:31] i needed that to do some recoveries i think [08:34] Kilos: ntfsprogs died 3 years ago [08:34] well not died as much as merged with ntfs-3g [08:34] its still in 12.04 [08:34] aha ty [08:34] 12.04 is ancient [08:34] me too man [08:35] anyway the problem isn't that i can't mount it [08:36] ThatGraemeGuy: you could create a shortcut on your desktop with the correct mount command? [08:38] yeah seems like i have to do something backwards like that [08:38] udisks2 is handling the underlying mount operation and apparently it provides no way to adjust mount options [08:39] i have to get on with work.. ttyl all [08:39] i'd have to hack the source and recompile it, pretty braindead [08:41] hey hello Kilos and charl_ [08:41] and everyone else as well [08:43] oh hi serial [08:44] hi nuvolari_ [08:44] hi oom Kilos [08:44] ThatGraemeGuy: just a shell script will solve your issues [08:44] or fstab, which you don't want [08:45] oh hi ThatGraemeGuy, ChanServ, ChanServ [08:45] hrr [08:45] oh, hes not here [08:45] and Squirm [08:48] hi there nuvolari_ [09:03] good day all [09:03] hey bduk are you using Thunderbird to connect?

[15:25] just googled it and seems to be mixed responses [15:25] some say they use it others say it may cause static [15:26] some say they use it cause blowing air can push the dust further into places you don't want it to go [15:27] haha [15:27] so I am gonna try it [15:27] the pressure out of a good compressor blows everything out of every little hole [15:28] I have it all into pieces so will just use on the heat sink and fans [15:28] maybe the movement in the vacuum pipes can cause static so just dont touth it to anywhere [15:29] yeah will do that [15:29] might be a good idea to add an earth strap [15:29] hey, any python guys here? [15:29] the fly theblazehen [15:29] nah I think most are dog lovers dude [15:29] Kilos, ty [15:29] LOL [15:29] superfly, you here? [15:30] hows it going theblazehen, been very quite these days [15:30] Private_User, going ok [15:31] Just been bit busy [15:31] Got a GPU now [15:31] ah cool stuff, started doing your mining yet? [15:31] yep [15:31] making around R30 per day [15:32] whats a gpu [15:32] Kilos, graphics cards [15:32] excellent stuff you should teach us, I was curious about this stuff and was reading about it, alot of reading, I hate reading [15:32] ah [15:33] what does it cost to start theblazehen ? [15:33] and what has the gpu thing to do with it [15:34] 30 bucks a day is good [15:34] pay for lotsa data [15:34] Kilos, for around R3000 or so you can get mid range GPU - maybe R20 per day [15:34] i dont understand [15:35] where is this gpu [15:35] oh my 3k that would take along time to save up hey Kilos [15:35] yeah [15:35] Kilos, in your PC [15:35] you then create bitcoin [15:35] why you need one for 3k [15:35] More expensive = more power [15:36] Got like over 1000 "cores" [15:36] thats another whole pc almost [15:36] lol [15:36] Kilos, GPU that will get you around R70 per day costs R12000 [15:36] wtf [15:37] i dont understand [15:37] what does the card have to do with it [15:37] 12k jeez thats alot [15:37] just for a GPU [15:37] Kilos, the card does the hashing, which you do to create bitcoin [15:38] Private_User, yeah, my next few cards are gonna be at around R3000 [15:38] but I guess it will be recovered soon enough after all that mining [15:38] whew ill never understand that [15:38] Private_User, couple of months [15:38] where do you mine? [15:38] I've already made R1000 [15:38] theblazehen: sortof... what's up? [15:38] http://wafflepool.com/ [15:38] ok but is it possible to do the mining without it? [15:39] superfly, I'll PM you. need python help [15:39] Private_User, yeah, just around 100x slower [15:39] Electricity will cost more [15:39] dont forget please [15:39] KK [15:40] theblazehen: ah ok so how much would I make without it, approximately? [15:40] Private_User, which CPU? [15:42] theblazehen: Intel Pentium(R) Dual CPU T3400 @ 2.16GHz 2.17GHz [15:42] well thats what my system properties tell me [15:42] Maybe R50 per month [15:42] If you're lucky [15:42] eeeek [15:42] ok its a start [15:43] how will it affect the performance of the machine? [15:43] so the more expensive the cpu and gpu the more you make [15:43] thats weird [15:44] Private_User, will put CPU at 100% [15:45] Kilos, it needs to do calculations to make the oney [15:45] money* [15:45] geez ok I could run it when I am away from the machine or asleep [15:46] but then I wondering how will I get my machine back if its 100%... [15:46] lol [15:46] Will still work, just lttle slower [15:46] and mem usage? [15:48] maybe 10 MB [15:48] ok I will maybe give it a try maybe the money I make can pay for me to get what I need [15:49] hi Kilos [15:49] hi Private_User [15:49] hi theblazehen [15:49] hi superfly (in the background) [15:49] hi Golynx [15:49] hey Golynx [15:49] Hi Golynx [15:49] how can you just make money from nothing [15:50] Private_User you can also try overclocking a bit [15:51] Kilos, http://thumbnails.visually.netdna-cdn.com/bitcoin-infographic_5029189c9cbaf_w1500.jpg [15:51] hmm i miss the GPU of a desktop [15:51] will look tomorrow theblazehen [15:51] under 20m data for tonight [15:51] ty [15:51] Kilos, kk [15:54] yep thanks theblazehen that info helps a bit... :D will try to do more research later [15:55] Private_User, kk [15:55] Private_User, oh and never use nvidia cards [15:55] why? [15:55] oh why not? [15:55] will remember that though [15:56] thanks [15:56] sigh that all i have [15:57] who said nvidia cards are more opensource than ATi [15:59] later all home time [15:59] so in a sense you would expect better performance from an nvidia card [15:59] Private_User google why not to use nvidia cards with bitcoin [15:59] bye magespawn [15:59] toods magespawn [15:59] ok oom Kilos will do [15:59] ai!

[16:16] virtual [16:17] yeah [16:17] Just like any fiat money! [16:18] how can you buy stuff with imaninary money [16:18] you get amaginary stuff then too? [16:18] imaginary [16:18] and physical stuff [16:18] Many places take bitcoin [16:19] wow [16:24] Yay! free internet for the whole world. finally :/ https://www.outernet.is/ [16:26] they should've done this a long time ago [16:26] haha tell cellc and mtn and voda [16:27] lol i bet in 30 years all data will be free :p [16:28] Communication is like the right to live as a human being. One should not be putting a price tag on that [16:29] tell telkom you want a free phone [16:31] let telkom enjoy the wine their customers work so hard stomping grapes with their feet on, until their beer bellies explode lol [16:32] next peeps will want free cars and petrol [16:32] just like crude oil, they and the rest of the worlds tele companies will run out of pricing for communication [16:33] hi not_found [16:33] funny stuffs here [16:33] nah not the physical stuff you still have to pay for [16:33] data is invisible [16:33] hi not_found [16:34] o/ Kilos & Golynx & all [16:34] so how can you then buy with bitcoin [16:34] its an alternative to physical cash [16:35] you do bitcoin not_found ? [16:35] ya Golynx but how can you buy physical stuff with imaninary money [16:35] I had a miner going for a little while but it was obvious I was wasting more money than making any :p - now I will just use bitcoins to pay for stuff if needed... [16:36] Kilos , all money is imaginary... [16:36] it is all numbers on a computer [16:36] ya but with a R50 note you can go get bread and milk [16:37] i dont understand this stuff [16:37] thats what google is for :p [16:37] anything is worth something if someone is willing to exchange something else for it [16:38] lol [16:38] it uses to be money was coupled to gold... hasn't been for a long time [16:38] yeah [16:39] but its still physical stuff [16:39] im too old for this [16:42] I use my debit and credit card to buy stuff... all numbers on a PC [16:42] ok [16:44] but yes, crypto currency is an interesting development [16:45] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin [16:45] some "light" reading [16:45] not_found, have I told you about emunie? [16:45] nope [16:46] hello o/ [16:46] hey kbmonkey , long time no see [16:47] ohi kbmonkey [16:47] hey kbmonkey [16:47] its gonna rain [16:47] not_found, check out eMunie.com [16:47] Kilos, yes! [16:47] hi vice chair kbmonkey sir [16:47] my monkey came again back [16:47] theblazehen @ work so link blocked... will check it out when home again [16:47] yes he he thank you everybody [16:48] if I remember >.< [16:48] not_found, kk [16:48] kbmonkey you bitcoin? [16:49] hey Kilos, I did when it first came out, but quickly realized I needed a lot more computing power to gain a substantial amount [16:49] * not_found will be back later ... have a good evening :) [16:50] sjoe [16:50] why do you ask Kilos ? [16:51] peeps been talking about it here [16:51] i struggle to understand it [16:53] ya it is a strange idea init? [16:54] weird [16:54] think instead of gold reserves to back your currency, you have cpu processing instead [16:54] im sure my pc shop wont accept it [16:54] that is how I understand it [16:55] no, but some online stores do accept it. [16:55] wow [16:55] I have not found any though, mostly as shipping is a problem ;) [16:58] Kilos, I suddenly see I have data left that will expire tonight. what will I use it for? [16:59] hahaha [17:00] bitcoins [17:00] how much data? [17:01] 2.8GB! [17:01] that is a *lot* [17:02] wow [17:02] download some iso's [17:04] ja I thought similar [17:05] like the new kde [17:05] hehe [17:05] kbmonkey, you ever GPU mine? [17:05] Was your early days 2011, or 2009 ? [17:07] no I did not theblazehen [17:08] I could not compile the custom kernel needed for gpu mining [17:08] I need an i-something and a decent gpu card too ;) [17:09] ah [17:10] I never needed an i something? [17:10] Mining on a P4 with a R 290 [17:10] R9 290* [17:12] is that a graphics card? [17:12] I assume it must be, I have a geforce 9800, will that do? [17:14] yeah [17:14] thats nvidia right? Will be a bit slow [17:14] But might make profit on litecoin [17:19] hey kbmonkey have not see you here in a while [17:20] hello Private_User, yes a few weeks [17:21] so this discussion of Bitcoin is extremely interesting I wanna know can you change it for physical cash? [17:21] if so how? [17:21] I don't know Private_User [17:22] Private_User, bitx.co.za lacalbitcoins.com [17:22] localbitcoins.com * [17:23] thanks theblazehen [17:23] this is helpful [17:24] good evening [17:24] Maaz: coffee on [17:24] * Maaz puts the kettle on [17:25] evening charl_ [17:25] evening charl_ [17:25] hi Private_User [17:25] you know a lot about the coin theblazehen [17:25] hi kbmonkey [17:25] hey this is looking more and more attractive bitcoin that is [17:26] I am gonna give it go but hang we forgot to ask the most important question Kilos [17:26] kbmonkey, used to be very interested in it [17:26] hey charl_ [17:26] How much data will it use, the mining that is? [17:26] hi theblazehen [17:26] Private_User, around 30 kb/s, or 9GB per onth [17:26] month* [17:27] Kilos: can you afford 9GB per month? [17:27] The Outernet . Hundreds of tiny satellites will delivery free internet to the whole world via wifi . https://www.outernet.is/ . They even got the bitcoin service package included :p [17:27] I probably could but then this data is once off what I have so if its done before my 12months are over then I am done [17:28] ok gonna give that a look at Golynx [17:28] thanks [17:28] Coffee's ready for charl_! [17:28] Maaz: thanks [17:28] charl_: No problem [17:29] Maaz: I can haz coffee? [17:29] theblazehen: I already know stuff about I [17:30] kbmonkey: remember we spoke about something like this a while back [17:30] looks like somebody beat us to it [17:30] but I think I wanna get involved in this project [17:31] Private_User, bitcoin? [17:31] Private_User: this is the next evolution of the internet. Communication should be free regardless of who and where you are. Finally they are doing it :) [17:31] my memory eludes me Private_User :p [17:31] Private_User, or outernet? [17:31] outernet is very interesting but it's not like it provides free unlimited internet for all [17:32] from what i understand from the website only certain pieces of data will be made available [17:32] charl_, yeah [17:32] traditional mesh better for now [17:33] charl_: yes , they also plan on making it two way as time goes on [17:33] not that it isn't a really good initiative, it sounds like a great start [17:34] i wonder how they are planning on funding that [17:34] google's balloons idea they should scrap and help these guys out with outernet [17:35] oh "Outernet is being incubated by Media Development Investment Fund, a New York-based 501(c)3 nonprofit organization." [17:35] yeah [17:35] what can i say... good for them [17:35] and besides, why not [17:36] too bad Skynet was taken :p [17:36] lol [17:36] no nobody wants skynet [17:36] that would instantly kill the funding :) [17:36] haha true [17:37] the project would get terminated immediately [17:37] eh, sorry :) [17:39] lol , but the world needs something like this [17:43] ai, here we go again [17:45] or not [17:47] eeeek i got killed [17:48] freenode battling again [17:48] thats how DDOS starts [17:48] chat.feenode.net is dead [17:49] im here with irc.freenode.net [17:49] hope they get bored and leave freenode alone [17:49] oh [17:49] i wish theyd just get sick and die [17:50] they are nothing but criminals [17:51] oh my [17:51] thats me [17:54] lol [17:54] wat [17:55] im here with irc.freenode.net and chat.freenode.net [17:55] dunno where it got that nick from [17:56] why didnt it just call me guest [17:57] from freenode staff, Chiyo: there appears to be some slight issues at the moment [17:57] slight? [17:57] sjoe [17:58] theblazehen you got uncapped [17:58] Kilos, ya [17:58] that amount of data use for bitcoin is just too much [17:59] Kilos, yeah [17:59] hey that reminds me what shall I download ? [17:59] before my data renews [18:00] i told you [18:00] kbmonkey, movie off priatebay? [18:00] isos or movies [18:01] get the boot-repair cd iso [18:01] I dont know which :p [18:01] thats at least useful [18:01] kbmonkey, enders game?? [18:01] rather iso than movie [18:01] you got a faster pc now? [18:01] what is enders game? [18:01] kbmonkey, movie [18:03] thanks theblazehen :] [18:04] there freenode chat dead again' [18:04] sigh [18:07] from freenode staff, Chiyo: no word on what the cause is, but network issues, yes [18:08] ty [18:08] ty [18:08] np [18:15] not sure why but my PC is not resolving the irc.freenode.net address [18:15] does anybody know the IP address for the above? [18:16] whew [18:16] freenode is crashing on and off Private_User_Web [18:17] for some reason my machine has started resolving the address as 127.1.1.1 [18:17] im here now with irc.freenode.net and chat.freenode.net [18:17] just be patient [18:17] oh wow it just connected itself [18:18] the chat one seems to be affected more [18:18] but when I ping the address its still giving me the address 127.1.1.1 [18:18] not sure why that is so but at least its connecting [18:19] just leave it they will sort the prob [18:19] ok will do Kilo [18:19] sorry ok will do Kilos [18:19] my chat one came on with this nick 23LAAD3S5 [18:19] lol [18:20] no i cant do 9g data a month [18:20] Private_User_Web: freenode resolves to 127.1.1.1 to mitigate the excess traffic brought by a DDOS attack [18:20] ah ok thanks Golynx [18:21] so what are they doing to resolve the ddos attacks [18:21] Private_User: if they didnt do that deliberatly then the servers will surely crash under the load [18:22] yeah but why not get rid of the DDOS attacks or is it a difficult costly affair? [18:25] it would be nice to reverse DDOS attacks so hit them back [18:26] thats kinda what 127.1.1.1 is doing to reflect if anyone is attacking, back onto themsleves [18:28] ah nice [18:30] Private_User, the ddos come from IP addresses all over the world so one cannot block it easily [18:31] ok so you would not know it until it starts hitting. Are they able to go via my computer? [18:32] usually a trojan or virus infects pc's from websites, and turns users pc's into zombies [18:32] ok [18:32] the zombies listen for commands from a master, and they all start sending requests to the freenode servers at once [18:32] most of these infected users dont know it :p [18:33] its a distributed attack [18:33] it is very nasty [18:34] put all those requests in a loop and you got a seriously long lasting sustained attack [18:34] ok cool got it, meaning if everybody were to update their antivirus stop accepting and installing unwanted software they could avoid this but if they install Linux I think should be even better [18:35] :) [18:35] exactly that :) [18:36] the servers struggle to keep up processing all the requests, and bam. [18:36] but what did Freenode do to deserve this? I wonder... probably klined somebody who was not very happy and not allowing that person back on [18:38] sometimes I wish I knew how to do something like that or have that kind of power cause there some sites that really frustrate you unfortunately my brain these days is too lazy to even go read up on this stuff let alone learn how to do it [18:42] I also wish I knew why they target freenode [18:42] it must be personal [18:42] otherwise they'd target sites that deserve it [19:12] https://www.google.com/search?q=blink+html lol [19:16] things seem to be stable again [19:16] oh my kbmonkey you still here [19:16] gonna be big storm [19:16] yes Kilos - that is good to hear [19:17] looked like rain here earlier, never fell [19:17] i wonder how many pcs running bitcoin are used for ddos attacks [19:17] Kilos, why would they be? [19:17] surely if you run that on a win pc it is even more vulnerable [19:18] well they then part of that system [19:18] and its open to everyone [19:18] Kilos, not really... [19:18] nah the bitcoind clients wont do that, at least not the open sourced ones. [19:19] no man but the win pcs running bitcoin [19:19] oh they'd be running more than bitcoin and that is the problem ;) [19:19] you said its like i hidden virus waiting for a command to attack [19:19] I'd be more worried about windows PC's running XP IMO... [19:20] yeah well win pcs arent very secure at the best of times [19:21] so to add a hidden virus that dont kill the pc but make it a slave of some other pc would be the aim of these bad okes [19:23] so the mining but is allowing your pc to be used online as a bitcoin client [19:23] you dont go digging for stuff [19:25] right? [19:28] Yeah, but it's very specific "stuff" [19:28] Namely doing sha256 hashes [19:29] do you do it or the pc on its own [19:31] PC on it's own [19:31] whew [19:32] so with uncapped its good to have a fast pc just doing bitcoin on the side [19:32] yeah [19:32] Guy I know lives off it [19:32] no job [19:32] wow [19:33] couple thousand USD per month [19:36] you got the idea Kilos, but that is why open source is so good: everyone can see at what the code really does. [19:36] so everyone can see it is not a zombie virus he he [19:36] but you get opensource stuff for windows too [19:36] if someone uses a secret code bitcoin client, they wont really know what it does :( [19:37] hi GnikLlort [19:37] hi Kilos [19:37] welcome to ubuntu-za [19:37] Thanks [19:37] hi GnikLlort [19:37] welcome GnikLlort [19:38] Hello everyone [19:38] GnikLlort you been here before?
