MaazCoffee's ready for charl!08:00
Golynx-JmIrc i havnt used in years08:00
Golynx-but its warmer from mobile08:00
Kiloshahaha hot water bottles on lap and feet help08:01
charlMaaz: thanks08:01
Maazcharl: Okay :-)08:01
Kiloshey you clever okes tell me08:02
Kilosups uses a serial data cable to get into it right?08:02
Kilosdoes anyone have one so i can get info08:03
Kilosi want to know does the ribbon cable cross over from one plug to the next08:03
Golynx-Lol08:03
Kilosi want to make one up08:03
Golynx-Damn whatsapp needs a password in pidgin08:10
JabberwockyA19Golynx-: I just gave up on that08:11
JabberwockyA19please let me know if you find an easy way around that08:11
Kilosme too08:12
Kiloshi Vince-0 08:13
Golynx-JabberwockyA19 : there is software that can sniff the password on android and ios, but that leads to whatsapp kicking you out of the service after a while08:14
Vince-0o/08:14
Golynx-Its looks impossible though08:14
JabberwockyA19need to setup a proxy of some sort :-/ it wont be easy08:15
superflyhi all08:41
charlwhy are you all so determined on getting whatsapp to work on the desktop ?08:41
charlif they wanted it to work on the desktop they would have made an official client or made it easier to get the password from the app08:41
charlhi superfly 08:41
charlrather use xmpp instead, run an xmpp server and whatever client you want both on the mobile and the desktop08:42
charlthen you have full control over it, and you can secure it too08:42
JabberwockyA19charl I think it's a design problem from whatsapp side, afaik they changed their policy but not their internal arch08:42
charli find all these mobile-specific services stupid in any case, services should be device-neutral08:43
charland they should have a good api so that anyone can create a client, be it proprietary or open source (preferably the latter of course)08:43
charlthat can run on any platform08:43
JabberwockyA19the amount of people using whatsapp vs xmpp makes it impossible for me to use xmpp, and its just very slow typing on my phone vs keyboard08:44
JabberwockyA19i agree with you 100%08:44
JabberwockyA19but we have to live in a world with people that don't know that :P08:44
charli've heard the same argument about facebook, but for some reason, i manage to survive perfectly fine without either that or whatsapp08:44
charli dunno how i can do it and other can't ...08:45
JabberwockyA19I've wanted to delete whatsapp multiple times, but it's just not practical for me at this stage08:45
charlmaybe i'm just a stereotypical germanic person :)08:45
charlstubborn and hard-headed08:45
JabberwockyA19hehe :)08:45
charlas flexible as stalin08:46
JabberwockyA19it's better to say away08:46
JabberwockyA19I plan to use tox.im in the "near future"08:47
charllooking08:48
charllooks really cool08:50
charlbut it's a pity that they are creating yet another island on their own by relying on peer to peer / bittorrent technology08:51
charlwith DHT etc instead of just going with the existing standard (XMPP)08:51
charli think i'm going to try it though08:51
charlinstalled venom now, still very rough and buggy09:04
charlbut it's only version 0.2.009:04
JabberwockyA19did you use the cli?09:04
charlno the gui09:05
JabberwockyA19ah toxic09:05
* nuvolari votes for googlechat :P09:05
nuvolaridevice agnostic ever since I can remember09:06
JabberwockyA19google hangout moved away from xmpp right?09:06
nuvolariyeah :(09:06
nuvolarionly get invites now09:06
nuvolaribut 1-on-1 still supports it09:06
JabberwockyA19thats neat, i've got the hangout client on my phone though09:08
nuvolariusing IRC gateway bitlbee to do xmpp-through-irc :P09:09
nuvolariso using irc client for most xmpp-chats/google chat09:09
JabberwockyA19I used to do that too @ bitbee09:09
charlas long as it's based off open standards and everybody can create their own client it's perfectly suitable for use on the public internet09:09
charlas long as you do not get vendor lockin09:10
charlunlike flash for example *puke*09:10
JabberwockyA19speaking about vendor lockin, I had to install windows 8.1 on a 4tb hdd with an old motherboard (more puke)09:11
JabberwockyA19UEFI and secure boot crap :o(09:12
charlcan't you disable secure boot ?09:13
charli also have uefi on my desktop workstation but ubuntu 14.04 works perfectly with secure boot disabled09:13
charlactually i never even tried to enable it in the first place, was disabled already when i got it (ubuntu pre-installed by dell)09:14
JabberwockyA19the old motherboards doesn't have secure boot, ubuntu works fine but windows only supports MBR paritions without secure boot09:28
JabberwockyA19for > 2TB paritions you'll need to use something like GPT and yeah... vendor lockin to the max09:29
JabberwockyA19I could not work around the boot problem, just used a smaller drive to boot :(09:32
Kiloshaha just stepped on sisters toe, she says np she got duplicates of those on the other foot10:11

Symmetria:P via DRAC14:14
Symmetriagod these servers take a while to boot14:15
arnaudmezwe are all working Kilos, even you14:18
arnaudmezi call it contributing14:18
KilosHAHA14:18
arnaudmezSymmetria: what servers ?14:18

Symmetriawith 192gigs of ram14:19
Symmetriaattached to 160 terabytes of SAS storage14:19
KilosSJOE14:19
Symmetriawhat will soon be mirror.liquidtelecom.com14:19
Symmetria;p14:19
Symmetriaheh over a million bux worth of hardware14:20
Symmetriathis is kinda cool, I'm installing it over iDRAC from my house14:22
Symmetriaand because of the speed of my net connection its having no issues with the remote mounted cd image 14:23
Symmetrialol, its installing faster than if it was coming off a CD :P14:23
charlvery nice Symmetria 14:36
Symmetriaheh, just takes *AGES* to boot, when it starts initilizing all the disk space, ram, firmware images and other crap14:37
Symmetriano matter how fast any operating system boots, doesnt matter if the box itself takes a month of sundays to init before boot14:38
arnaudmezSymmetria: that's just a dream coming to life14:48
arnaudmezguys i tried to go that route but now i just end up going Cloud14:49
charlarnaudmez: i don't know if it's the same in s.africa but if you use the term "cloud" amoung technical folks where i live you might end up getting laughed at14:50
charlit has gotten to be a marketing b*ll term now that has little to no meaning whatsoever14:51
charlbbl14:53
arnaudmezcharl: thanks for that :-) i will remember 14:58
arnaudmezbut i' not in S. Africa at all14:58
arnaudmezin Congo where i am when u say Cloud among the Techies they start dreaming and want to ear what you have to say14:59
arnaudmezdifferent perception of the same thing :-)14:59
KilosSymmetria, let me know when its going so i can run mtr to it15:05
inetproKilos: always good thanks, just a bit cold15:06
Kilosand colder weather on its way inetpro 15:06
Kilosmaybe max of 1415:07
Kilosand - in the dark time15:07
arnaudmezSymmetria: yeah but tell us if it wont cause you any issue15:07

Kilosarnaudmez, have you got your loco going yet?15:08
arnaudmezKilos: not yet, time issues i think i will take it by next month and setup a proper thing15:09
Kiloswhat trouble shooting do you want to do, ask Symmetria thats his game15:09
arnaudmezhuho15:09
Kiloshe is a networking specialist15:10
arnaudmezi mean i'm busy setting up a small office wwith couple of devices on it, maybe setup a linunx server also but still it's a project15:10
arnaudmezso i'm quickly writing a list of necessary CLI tools that can help a network admin 15:10
Kilosso  what trouble shooting, you mean if it breaks down?15:11
Kilosi only know 2 things with networking ping and mtr hehe15:12
Kiloshere is a nice one to test with15:13
Kilosmtr -i2 -s0 -n 8.8.8.815:13
Kilosarnaudmez, you can point it at any address to see packet losses and stuff15:16
arnaudmezKilos: i knew that one but not with arguments15:19
arnaudmezwas using it just as it comes15:19
arnaudmezmtr 8.8.8.815:19

Symmetriaanyone who isn't behind telkom/vodacom who can do a trace/ping to 197.155.77.1?16:13
Symmetriatelkom / vodacom are still being asshats about peering :P16:13
Kilosill get you an equivalent to 8.8.8.816:13
Symmetria8.8.8.8 will end at google za pop so thats not really a valid test :(16:13
Symmetriatelkom peers with google16:13
Kiloswell give another addy to try16:14
Symmetriawill be same thing to anywhere outside of .za, Telkom doesnt peer so if you wanna go to anywhere in africa from them you gonna go via europe16:15
Symmetriabecause they are asshats :P16:15
Kilosi dont know about all that stuff but know at times i have bad latency when playing an online game in za16:16
Kilosand at others its instant16:17
