| diddledan | that's a lot of server | 00:34 |
| daftykins | pricey pricey | 00:38 |
| daftykins | i'd rather that storage locally ;D | 00:38 |
| daftykins | my 5TB RAID5 is sooo full ;/ | 00:38 |
| daftykins | 82GB left D: | 00:38 |
| diddledan | heh | 00:38 |
| diddledan | HDD FTW | 00:38 |
| jpds | daftykins: Surely you should be using Ceph. | 00:39 |
| daftykins | ? | 00:39 |
| jpds | ceph.com | 00:39 |
| diddledan | ceph? | 00:39 |
| diddledan | *click* | 00:39 |
| daftykins | *blinks* | 00:40 |
| diddledan | buzzwords | 00:40 |
| jpds | RAID was so... 5 years ago. | 00:40 |
| diddledan | what's it do? | 00:40 |
| diddledan | o_O | 00:40 |
| diddledan | IIRC most storage systems backend onto RAID | 00:41 |
| daftykins | that's handy since i put this one together 6 years ago ;D | 00:41 |
| diddledan | I can't imagine amazon not using RAID for e.g. | 00:41 |
| diddledan | if "ceph replaces raid" then how does it do the job better? | 00:42 |
| jpds | I was partially joking around. ;-) | 00:43 |
| jpds | You would only use Ceph if you want to "build a SAN out of commodity hardware" | 00:44 |
| diddledan | o_o | 00:44 |
| jpds | diddledan: You've clearly not seen it in action. | 00:45 |
| diddledan | nope | 00:45 |
| diddledan | is there an easy intro video anywhere I can watch without having to think? | 00:45 |
| diddledan | (it's late!) | 00:45 |
| jpds | diddledan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyH1C0C4HzM looks legit. | 00:46 |
| jpds | Never watched it. | 00:46 |
| jpds | Actually, looks really well done. | 00:48 |
| diddledan | lol, it's fun actually | 00:49 |
| diddledan | "giant spendy computer" | 00:49 |
| jpds | diddledan: But yeah, Ceph's been the hot thing in storage for the last couple of years. | 00:52 |
| diddledan | how does it compare to swift from openstack? | 00:52 |
| jpds | diddledan: Swift only does object storage. | 00:53 |
| diddledan | (swift seems to be an integral part of openstack) | 00:53 |
| diddledan | aah | 00:53 |
| jpds | diddledan: Ceph does object, block and a filesystem. | 00:53 |
| diddledan | I'm oldskool - I like filesystem access methods | 00:53 |
| jpds | But yeah, ceph can replace swift for openstack. | 00:54 |
| jpds | diddledan: Thoughts? | 01:08 |
| diddledan | interesting | 01:08 |
| diddledan | I'm wondering whether it's of use on small-scale - i.e. 1-3 servers | 01:11 |
| jpds | You need at least 3 servers for Ceph. | 01:11 |
| jpds | Because of the voting between monitoring servers. | 01:12 |
| jpds | But yeah, at that point you'll have "network RAID" across the servers' disks. | 01:12 |
| diddledan | playing with juju - you can seriously ramp-up some costs if you're not careful | 02:19 |

| diddledan | DJones: it's new | 08:25 |
| DJones | INteresting | 08:26 |
| diddledan | part of sky's attempt to retain bethere.co.uk users since they merged | 08:26 |
| foobarry | morning kids | 08:27 |
| diddledan | they're also planning on introducing DSL line profiles, again for the hardcore bethere users | 08:27 |
| mapp | were you with bethere diddledan? | 08:27 |
| diddledan | nope | 08:27 |
| mapp | how do i request a static ip? | 08:27 |
| mapp | also what do you mean DSL line profiles | 08:27 |
| diddledan | https://mysky.sky.com/mysky/profilesettings/pro-broadband-settings | 08:28 |
| diddledan | they refer to line profile thingy as "line profile customisation" | 08:28 |
| mapp | whats that even mean:Z | 08:29 |
| mapp | sparkys still on bethere eh | 08:29 |
| diddledan | line profile customisation is usually switching the dsl properties to get the lowest latency for gaming | 08:30 |
| diddledan | ... at the risk of having a less-stable connection | 08:31 |

| bigcalm | Good morning peeps :) | 09:07 |
| neuro | so wait | 09:08 |
| bashrc | morning | 09:09 |
| neuro | "Sky Unlimited Pro" users, who are ex-Be and ex-O2 users, get the option of a static IP | 09:09 |
| neuro | but "Sky Unlimited Fibre Pro" users, who are on 80/20 FTTC, don't? | 09:09 |
| neuro | s/Unlimited Fibre/Fibre Unlimited/ | 09:10 |
| bashrc | static IP must surely be a rare commodity, unless its IPv6 | 09:15 |
| neuro | it's a rare commodity if you're trying to get a new allocation | 09:16 |
| neuro | if you're Sky, who have absorbed various networks' allocations, including Avatar/Be/O2's, it's not a big deal | 09:17 |
| neuro | and any kind of unused IPv4 is a rare thing, not just statically assigned ones | 09:18 |
| neuro | if you have 1 million customers, you still need 1 million IPs, unless you're stupid (or very sure of your customer usage patterns) and underprovision | 09:19 |
| neuro | i don't understand all the apprehension from be users | 09:19 |
| neuro | i switched from be to sky before they were even bought | 09:20 |
| neuro | all i miss are the static IPs, and then even not so much | 09:20 |
| neuro | i get on fine with dynamic dns and v6 tunnels | 09:21 |
| neuro | once i figured out how to make pfsense tell he.net what my IP was :D | 09:21 |
| codecowboy | Hi. Is there a way to list sftp-server enabled user in Ubuntu from command line? | 09:27 |
| codecowboy | user = users ^^ | 09:27 |
| neuro | iirc any user with a valid shell can potentially do sftp | 09:28 |
| neuro | although your sshd config may vary | 09:28 |
| BigRedS__ | yeah, how you do it depends on how you've configured your sshd | 09:37 |
| BigRedS__ | in general, anyone with a valid shell can do sftp | 09:37 |
| MartijnVdS | valid shell *and credentials* | 09:37 |
| BigRedS__ | oh yeah | 09:38 |
| foobarry | so...windows. choose hibernate, does nothing. looks the screen | 09:43 |
| foobarry | chose shutdown and now 61 updates getting installed..no warning :( i'm in a rush too | 09:44 |
| BigRedS__ | All the cool OSes have stopped supporting hibernate anyway | 09:44 |
| BigRedS__ | oh, right | 09:45 |
| MartijnVdS | foobarry: there's usually a warning on the shutdown button, it has a yellow thingy next to it | 09:46 |
| foobarry | doesn't seem to be | 09:46 |
| codecowboy | BigRedS__neuro thanks | 09:49 |
| diddledan | I think that's my static IP just been applied | 10:09 |
| MooDoo | diddledan: nice :D | 10:09 |
| diddledan | had to force my non-sky router to request the dhcp for it to work | 10:10 |
| diddledan | re-request** | 10:10 |
| diddledan | it just so happened that the connection disappeared (removal of old IP, I guess) at the same time I logged-out and back-in on my laptop | 10:10 |
| diddledan | so I was confuddled for a moment | 10:11 |
| diddledan | thinking I'd broken my laptop | 10:11 |
| bigcalm | Speaking of laptops, I don't think I've been able to use the eth port on mine yet. Tried a couple of times, found it didn't work so reverted to wifi but never followed it up. | 10:13 |

| popey | i see he changed the title, kept the url | 14:55 |
| bashrc | ubuntu one? dead? | 14:55 |
| neuro | not yet | 14:55 |
| neuro | but it's in the post | 14:55 |
| neuro | can't buy music or additional space as of today | 14:56 |
| neuro | features disabled on june 1st | 14:56 |
| neuro | files deleted and service shuttered july 31st | 14:56 |
| neuro | according to d00d | 14:56 |
| bashrc | well, that's a surprise | 14:56 |
| bashrc | but having said that I never used ubuntu one much | 14:57 |
| neuro | me either | 14:58 |
| neuro | never did like the UI | 14:58 |
| neuro | but nautilus and backup integration was nice | 14:58 |
| bashrc | "February past saw an extended period of outage. It says something that this went, for the first week or so, largely, unnoticed." | 14:59 |
| neuro | huh, i *do* have it installed ... | 14:59 |
| neuro | ... and it's not connecting. | 15:04 |
| diddledan | davmor2: I was told I'd go blind if I didn't stop playing with it | 15:04 |
| neuro | oh, here we go | 15:04 |
| neuro | ah, here's the official word | 15:10 |
| neuro | https://one.ubuntu.com/services/shutdown/ | 15:10 |

| foobarry | u1 is closing? | 15:32 |
| foobarry | fail | 15:32 |
| foobarry | who is offering free storage of 25-50gb? | 15:34 |
| directhex | box.net | 15:37 |
| popey | copy.com ? | 15:38 |
| foobarry | box.net sucks though | 15:39 |
| foobarry | sftp is 1kb/s , no desktop app, | 15:39 |
| foobarry | looks like dropbox has won | 15:39 |
| bashrc | the main reason why I didn't use ubuntu one much was that I had my own server, so it's easy to use sshfs and so on | 15:40 |
| foobarry | i worry about owncloud becoming pwncloud | 15:40 |
| neuro | free? | 15:41 |
| bashrc | why so? | 15:41 |
| neuro | pffff | 15:41 |
| bigcalm | My desk phone thinks that it's 21:38 \o/ | 15:41 |
| neuro | dropbox is 2G for free, 100G for $9.99/mo | 15:41 |
| davmor2 | bigcalm: time you knocked off then surely | 15:41 |
| neuro | google drive is 15G for free, 100G for $1.99/mo | 15:41 |
| foobarry | having to administer your own cloud server ..what happens if major bug and you're on holiday | 15:41 |
| foobarry | or really busy | 15:41 |
| foobarry | google drive has a linux cilent? | 15:42 |
| neuro | foobarry: then you shouldn't be administering your own cloud server | 15:42 |
| foobarry | "foobarry> i worry about owncloud becoming pwncloud " | 15:42 |
| foobarry | exactly | 15:42 |
| davmor2 | foobarry: you can have a cloud server or a holiday not both | 15:42 |
| foobarry | yep | 15:42 |

| * bigcalm now has a fully working SIP set-up for the 3 remote offices | 16:26 | |
| bigcalm | All that's left is to get our 0845 number ported from the existing provider | 16:27 |
| brobostigon | :) | 16:27 |
| diddledan | bigcalm: well done! | 16:29 |
| bigcalm | Ta :) | 16:29 |
| diddledan | SIP is a magical black box to me | 16:30 |
| bigcalm | I did the research, boss chose the company, I set up our account using their web interface | 16:30 |
| bigcalm | Everything just works(tm) | 16:30 |
| daftykins | and when there's a power cut...? :) | 16:35 |
| bigcalm | Then I won't get customer calls \o/ | 16:37 |
| bigcalm | No lose situation | 16:37 |
| popey | i thought you had a ups | 16:37 |
| bigcalm | Shh | 16:38 |
| bigcalm | Currently the desk phone isn't plugged into it | 16:38 |
| bigcalm | So in that instance, only my desktop client and mobile will ring | 16:38 |
| bigcalm | Humm... | 16:38 |
| bigcalm | It's nice that I can log into 3 devices with the same account | 16:39 |

| === alan_g is now known as alan_g|EOD | ||
| daftykins | why not just go SIM only so you can have whatever phone you want? :) | 17:25 |
| daftykins | Samsungs come with so much tosh these days | 17:25 |
| daftykins | it's like setting up a new Windows laptop with a fresh install, almost, to disable it all ;) | 17:26 |
| brobostigon | nexus, :) | 17:28 |
| brobostigon | or gpe. | 17:28 |
| bigcalm | daftykins: because I prefer to have a handset from a contract | 17:29 |
| daftykins | fair enough | 17:30 |
| bigcalm | Quite like my SGS3 | 17:30 |
| daftykins | still an alien world to me, that | 17:30 |
| neuro | contract phone = mad | 17:49 |
| === map is now known as Guest91394 | ||
| ali1234 | yeah why would anyone want to pay 15% less? madness | 17:52 |
| directhex | contract phones can have a lower TCO over 2 years than separate phone and contract | 17:54 |
| directhex | and additionally, you don't need £300+ up front | 17:54 |
| ali1234 | yes, 15% less according to my calculations | 17:55 |
| ali1234 | if you factor in the interest free load then you don't even need to go 24 months to make it cheaper | 17:58 |
| directhex | it's model- and network-dependant | 17:59 |
| neuro | ali1234: show your workings then :) | 18:00 |
| ali1234 | neuro: an example int he comments on this post: https://plus.google.com/117474986382867317779/posts/byCeLFpoCpS | 18:01 |
| neuro | do you know what your savings get you? | 18:07 |
| neuro | lack of flexibility | 18:07 |
| ali1234 | the sim only option is still 12 month minimum | 18:08 |
| neuro | and if you're not savvy, you'll still end up paying that same high contract cost after the contract has ended | 18:08 |
| neuro | eh? | 18:08 |
| SuperEngineer | neuro: or.... more money -this can be important to those of us who understand the value of money | 18:08 |
| neuro | SuperEngineer: you're saying i don't understand the value of money? | 18:09 |
| neuro | ali1234: what are you talking about? | 18:09 |
| SuperEngineer | e.g. daughter is now currently saving a fortune... she has ebnough of a brain to mix and match until she got the right deal | 18:10 |
| ali1234 | the sim only option i used to calculate the price difference has a minimum term of 12 months | 18:10 |
| ali1234 | i would have used the 24 month equivalent, but they don't have one | 18:10 |
| neuro | so? | 18:10 |
| neuro | there are other sim only options | 18:10 |
| neuro | so you can rock out of your 30 day rolling if a better deal comes along | 18:10 |
| ali1234 | yeah, you can have a 1 month term, but it is even more expensive | 18:10 |
| neuro | not that much | 18:10 |
| neuro | 3 One Plan is £72 more expensive over 2 years | 18:11 |
| ali1234 | £48 over 24 months | 18:11 |
| neuro | and that's an epic tariff | 18:11 |
| ali1234 | that's like an extra 5% on top | 18:11 |
| SuperEngineer | me... I really don't care - firm supplies a phone which they feel to phone me on even when I'm on leave [now] | 18:11 |
| neuro | i'd rather buy outright so i have a measure of flexibility | 18:11 |
| SuperEngineer | ...I therefore feee free to use it for my own phone and onlyt phone | 18:11 |
| ali1234 | factor in the free credit you;re getting and it's more like 25% | 18:12 |
| neuro | which is what i did | 18:12 |
| ali1234 | if you're not savvy you're going to get screwed no matter what | 18:12 |
| ali1234 | such is life | 18:12 |
| * neuro idly strokes nearby iPhone 5s | 18:12 | |
| neuro | plus the hassle of unlocking when your contract is over if you decide to move | 18:12 |
| ali1234 | no hassle at all. you ring them up and get a code and it's done | 18:13 |
| neuro | ha | 18:13 |
| * SuperEngineer idly strokes firms firm set to ignore all firm's calls and act only for friends and family ;) | 18:13 | |
| ali1234 | or you just get a new subsidised phone with a new contract | 18:13 |
| neuro | ew | 18:13 |
| neuro | "hello phone network, please lock me into your service and this what-will-be-a-crappy-handset-halfway-through-the-contract phone for the next $LARGE_PROPORTION_OF_MY_LIFE months, ta" | 18:14 |
| SuperEngineer | *phone | 18:14 |
| neuro | i'm so done with that | 18:14 |
| ali1234 | you are in no way locked in to the handset | 18:15 |
| ali1234 | you can buy a new one and use it any time you want | 18:15 |
| ali1234 | you still have to pay for the old one either way | 18:15 |
| neuro | so you buy a new phone | 18:15 |
| neuro | but you're still locked into the more expensive tariff | 18:15 |
| neuro | sorry, i just prefer the concept of divorcing the handset from the operator | 18:16 |
| ali1234 | yes, you are still locked in to a credit arrangement for the product you bought | 18:16 |
| bigcalm | Maybe I should ditch Android and get an iPhone | 18:16 |
| ali1234 | you will still end up paying less | 18:16 |
| neuro | it's like saying you're happy to get a cheaper car that only takes petrol from tesco, and you can only ever fill up at tesco | 18:17 |
| bigcalm | I only fill up at Tesco as it is | 18:17 |
| ali1234 | no, it's like saying if you buy a phone on credit card you should be able to stop paying the CC bill after 6 months because you don't like the phone any more | 18:17 |
| neuro | bigcalm: you should ditch android and get an iphone, but of course, i *would* say that | 18:17 |
| neuro | ali1234: no, it's not | 18:17 |
| SuperEngineer | neuro: as long as you realise *they* are tracking you no matter what/how smart you think on a mobile device.... go with your own choice... all you're doing is choosing how much u want to pay GCHQ to track you. | 18:18 |
| neuro | SuperEngineer: errr, ok | 18:18 |
| SuperEngineer | *final* | 18:18 |
| ali1234 | if you want a car analogy, it's like buying a car that comes with free petrol for 24 months and the petrol can be used in any car, but you still have to pay for the car you bought | 18:19 |
| neuro | nope | 18:19 |
| neuro | anyway | 18:19 |
| smittix | Evening all | 18:19 |
| neuro | is it? | 18:20 |
| neuro | evening? | 18:20 |
| neuro | jeez | 18:20 |
| smittix | heh | 18:20 |
| neuro | ali1234: something you're forgetting is that operators top load the tariffs on contract phones | 18:20 |
| neuro | if all you need is a couple of hundred minutes and light data, you'll probably not find that on a high end smartphone deal | 18:21 |
| neuro | or you will, but the up front will be greater | 18:21 |
| neuro | in other news, amazon have shipped my samsung evo ssd by royal mail! | 18:22 |

| mapps | bookies offer streaming free to punters on soccer/nba/horsies etc/tennis | 18:29 |
| mapps | and thats faster than sky for soccer/tennis | 18:29 |
| neuro | SuperEngineer: s/will finally bring/finally brought/ and it's not *the* Start menu | 18:29 |
| neuro | mapps: ye cannae break the laws o' physics | 18:30 |
| SuperEngineer | neuro: coorect - it's got proeet oiccies ofopen apps .. what a good idea... ......... | 18:30 |
| mapps | i went into hills on my way to sainsburys earlier and lol | 18:30 |

| foobarry | i just accidentally invoked the windows key shortcuts screen. forgot about that, also HUD..never use | 18:47 |
| smittix | Anyone have nVidia Optimus hardware? | 18:48 |
| Azelphur | smittix: yup | 18:49 |
| SuperEngineer | err herrmm; 'tis *not* the windows key - 'tis the Super key | 18:49 |
| davmor2 | smittix: yes thanks | 18:49 |
| smittix | davmor2: My battery life sucks. | 18:50 |
| davmor2 | smittix: yes | 18:50 |
| foobarry | oh, copy.com has linux client, anyone used it? | 18:50 |
| smittix | davmor2: 15 minutes and it's gone from 100% to 76% | 18:50 |
| davmor2 | smittix: Open nvidia-settings change the power mizer mode if that doesn't do anything change the Prime profile from nvidia to intel | 18:51 |
| smittix | davmor2: I don't have the nVidia drivers installed, I just installed Bumblebee? | 18:52 |
| davmor2 | smittix: on what version of Ubuntu? | 18:53 |
| smittix | 13.10 | 18:54 |
| smittix | What would you suggest I do? | 18:54 |
| davmor2 | smittix: not a lot I can suggest have a read on bumble bee docs site and see if there is way to make intel the default | 18:55 |
| foobarry | how hard is this game 2048? | 19:25 |
| foobarry | spent 10 mins playing and wondering if its a massive time sink | 19:25 |
| smittix | davmor2: Ok, thanks anyway. Bumblebee seems to be working ok now. Battery is still rubbish though. I will have to live with it. | 19:57 |
| daftykins | https://www.dropbox.com/s/8i16eae5050qx8w/zelda.png | 20:17 |
| daftykins | ;D | 20:17 |
| daftykins | smittix: 14.04 and nvidia-prime might end up being better for you eventually | 20:17 |
| daftykins | assuming your BIOS has no control over the graphics setup (often they don't) | 20:17 |
| smittix | daftykins: That's good news then | 20:18 |
| smittix | daftykins: Fingers crossed! | 20:18 |
| smittix | I'm not too sure yet but I think I may have improved the battery life. It seems to be discharging a little slower. | 20:18 |
| daftykins | yeah if you've got bumblebee active i think it keeps the nvidia chip off until you opti-run something | 20:19 |
| daftykins | there may be even more ways to power it down completely, not sure | 20:19 |
| smittix | I just did a cat /proc/acpi/bbswitch and it's off so looking good at the minute | 20:20 |
| smittix | I have also set cpufreq to powersave. | 20:20 |
| smittix | Right, I'm off to watch the last walking dead. Thank's for the info you guys. | 20:21 |
