Kilosmorning all06:31
nlsthznhey uncle Kilos :)06:34
Kiloshiya nlsthzn hows you06:35
Kilosmy boet will be near there soon06:35
Kilosi think about on the 5th he will be at rotek head office in dubai06:35
nlsthzncool06:37
Kiloswhen a server is booting how do you stop or slow down the thing so you can read an error message06:57
Kilosmuch to fast for me to see06:57
Kilossomething about a bus06:58
Kiloshitting pause/break does nothing06:58
nlsthznbest to try and check logs I suspect07:07
Kilossjoe07:08
Kilosim so lost without a gui or being able to ssh to it07:09
Kiloswe still suckling with iptables stuff07:09
nlsthznthat is some of the more tricky things for sure :)07:09
Kiloslol. very weird, it worked on 10.10 but something in 14.04 is not playing along07:11
Kiloshi magespawn gremble 07:14
grembleHey Kilos 07:14
magespawnhowdy Kilos gremble 07:15
Kilosso you clever okes07:19
Kilosif you have 2 drives in a pc07:19
Kilosis virtualization the only way to use the second one as a server07:20
Kiloscant you ssh or something to it as if it was on another pc07:20
grembleNo, you'll have to make it believe that it is another PC07:21
grembleSo you'll have to use virtualisation07:21
Kilosand that will use lotsa resources the same as using virtualbox?07:21
magespawnyup 07:22
Kiloseish07:22
grembleThere is a virtualisation technology that uses the virtualisation built into the kernel07:22
grembleSo you don't run another kernel and cut ram etc07:22
grembleIt shares better on the local machine07:22
Kilostell me more07:22
grembleI can't remember what it is called though :/ I know that it uses KVM07:22
Kilosoh i know someone who knows about that07:23
Kilosspoke about it last night actually07:23
Kilossjoe, many much readings and many few understandings07:44
Kilosbut might be the answer07:48
Kiloslooks like kvm is the way to go07:59
grembleGetting breakfast is the way to go.. 07:59
Kiloshahaha08:00
grembleIt is too early to be struggling with a windows laptop08:00
gremble:/08:00
grembleHP only supports win 8 on this laptop08:00
Kiloseish anytime is not good to struggle with windows08:00
Kilosthere is a quick fix for that though08:00
grembleLinux doesnt want to install08:01
grembleI tried it last night with ElementaryOS08:01
grembleKeeps failing on the grub install08:01
Kilosaha08:01
Kilosis it a bought with windows lappy08:01
grembleDisabled secure boot, put Legacy mode, everything08:02
grembleNo cigar08:02
Kilossjoe08:02
grembleYup08:02
grembleBought with windows 808:02
grembleBut I couldnt save the OS08:02
grembleThere was so much malware on that laptop, I thought it had Ebola08:02
Kilosooo someone was offering win8 dvd last night08:02
Kilosbut there must be a way to fix it08:03
Kiloswhen i struggle like that i boot from win 98 cd and go with fdisk08:03
Kiloswipe the whole drive install 98 then install ubuntu08:04
Kilosthere is also a lekker tool , lemme check what its called08:05
grembleI don't want to go through too much effort, she may come back after a week and tell me that she hates linux08:06
Kilosai!08:07
Kilosinstall ubuntu then tell her to come here for help08:08
Kilospeeps swopping from windows to linux need lotsa guidance in the beginning08:08
grembleNot even I can get ubuntu to work as intended. I am not going to give it to her to try :P08:10
Kiloslol08:10
Kiloskubuntu is lekker man08:11
Kilosi cant find that tool now but will remember sometime what it is called08:12
Kilosrepairs drives08:12
grembleI hate that I forget where I put my cds08:13
Kiloscan do everything, even to rewriting the mbr08:13
grembleI have a very nice piece of malware that breaks the windows validation thing08:13
Kilosya sorting them is always the biggest mistake08:13
Kilosi think its called ubcd08:18
Kiloshttp://www.ultimatebootcd.com/download.html08:19
Kilosalso had one motherboard that actually had a virus or malware or whatever that got into the bios08:28
grembleWow08:30
Kilosya bad and it stuffed up 4 drives08:30
Kiloshad to flash the bios to get things back to normall, but the drives had to be wiped08:31
Kilosthere are bad things online for windows peeps08:32

Kerbero[dsp]yes you're right12:13
theblazehenhi psytab12:18

Kerbero[dsp]"nederlandse geschiedenis die naar egipte gaan. ik snap er niks van"12:26
Kerbero[dsp]lol12:26
psytabhaha12:26
psytabI was talking about it to my father as we were watching12:27
psytabit seems everything in the Netherlands is being decided on the basis of money or profitability12:28
psytabmany famous bookshops are also closing down12:28
psytabwhereas I can see that Poland is going through a knowledge boom with lots of cheap books being available, many of which are translations from books published either recently or as long as 10, 20 or 30 years ago12:30
psytabI think all libraries in the Netherlands should prepare for being closed down and their books being shipped to Alexandria lol12:31
Kerbero[dsp]haha ja12:31
superflypsytab: not just the netherlands12:36
psytabhi superfly12:38
superflyhi12:38
psytabit's the only country where I've lived long enough to notice it12:38

psytabI was on holidays too20:42
charlnice, did you go somewhere ?20:42
psytabin the Netherlands20:42
charlah cool !20:42
psytabyeah20:43
charli have been all over, my mother is visiting so we've been touring around20:43
charlbeen to amsterdam, leiden, utrecht, gouda, munster and a bunch of smaller places20:43
psytabthat's really nice, I noticed you weren't online at all20:43
psytabbut that's a good reason to be offline20:43
charlyeah :D20:43
psytab:D20:43
charlbut i'm almost done with my holiday now, completely tired20:44
charli'm literally tired from holiday, now still need to take a few days just resting and then back to work20:44
charlotherwise i have to go back to work to rest out :D20:44
psytabI also had some interviews and I will hear where I am going to tomorrow or the day after20:44
Kiloshaha you guys that go to work to rest after hols and weekends20:44
psytabhehe20:44
charlyup :D20:44
charli've gotten amazing news a few days back20:45
charlcompletely contrary to the expectation i got a permanent position now20:45
charlso i'm settled for the time being20:45
charli've done some interviews but didn't like what i found20:45
psytabwow, that's great20:45
charli ended up applying for work at this one company, an absolutely amazing company to work for except for one very big flaw20:45
charlthe only thing they do there outside of android is microsoft20:46
charlwindows/c#/microsoft sql server/etc20:46
charlso that wasn't going to work :)20:46
psytabpeople have been contacting me for many jobs20:46
psytabhaha20:46
charlbut a great company in all other respects, a real pityt20:46
charlyou been applying in NL ?20:46
psytabI don't know any of that stuff really20:46
charlthe job market is amazing right now20:46
charlbest time to be in the market, everybody is hiring20:46
psytabin NL too, yes20:46
charlcompletely different than last year20:47
psytabbut also PL, HU and IE20:47
charllast year i applied at 5 companies and got one disappointing offer20:47
charlthis year i say no and they still don't want to let me go20:47
charlinsist on trying to win me over20:47
charlwhat a major difference to last year, it's amazing20:47
psytabI went to hoofddorp for interviews20:47
charlbut yeah it helps that NL is out of recession now for the last 6 or so months ...20:47
psytabhaha20:47
charlah hoofddorp is close to amsterdam right ?20:48
psytabso maybe hibernating in PL wasn't that bad an idea for me20:48
psytabyes, it is20:48
psytabbut I'm probably going to dublin20:48
charlah yes lots of jobs in dublin, mostly international companies20:50
charli've also been contacted out of dublin by ericson some time ago20:50
charlbut wasn't interested in moving to dublin20:50
charli've been to dublin, didn't like it20:50
psytaband there I will be close to the google offices, I may be able to apply and get in at some point if I don't have any perspectives for growth at the company I'm going to work for now20:50
psytaboh, I see20:51
psytabwell, I think I could manage there for some time20:51
psytabjust like I have done here in PL20:51
charli think you're much more flexible than i am20:52
charldublin isn't a bad place though20:52
charljust extremely expensive20:52
charlcoffee sets you back 2x what it does in NL20:52
psytabI will be on a plane to some place often enough anyway, just like now :)20:52
psytabyes20:52
charlyeah precisely20:53
psytabit's too expensive in my opinion20:53
charli just came back from the restaurant, a luxury restaurant where i live20:53
psytabbut I need growth in my career20:53
charla cup of coffee is 2 euro, in dublin it would have been 4 or 5 at a regular coffee shop20:53
psytabthe other option is going to hirschberg in germany20:53
charloh germany! i love germany20:54
charli would obviously have opted for that instead :P20:54
psytabdo you know how IE became that expensive?20:54
charli have no idea but from what i've heard that country used to have practically no economy20:54
charlthe economy that there is now was largely developed thanks to EU grants20:54
psytabwell, a girl working at google wants me to be in dublin because she is getting bored there :P20:55
charlbut lots of international companies like google have their european headquarters settled in dublin now20:55
psytabyes, but it's weird20:55
charlah, there's a girl ... i could have guessed :D20:55
superflyanyone wanna go work for Facebook?20:55
charlnope definitely nost20:55
psytabPL is actually on the right track20:55
charl*not20:55
charli despise facebook20:55
psytabyou can earn good money and life is still cheap there20:56
charlyeah it's all cost of living versus income at the end of the day20:56
superflyI know a couple people who work for them, but that's not to say I want to.20:56
charlpay me 10.000 euro per month and i would also go live in dublin20:56
psytabI would have opted to stay here if I got a good offer to develop my career20:56
superflyJust been getting a few mails from them recently20:57
psytabyes20:57
psytabcharl, that is my plan, to increase my value and let them fight over me20:57
charlprecisely20:57
psytabwhoever pays more can hire me20:57
charlwell just be really good at what you do and develop your skill, then you end up going wherever the work is20:57
charlthat is somewhat nomadic thinking but it's the way to grow your career really20:58
psytabthat's something I learned from my uncle20:58
psytabyes20:58
charlthere are jobs now for senior developers in germany, 60.000 to 80.000 per year !20:58
charlnow we're talking :P20:58
psytabyeah!20:58
psytab:D20:58
charli have more faith in germany than in NL right now20:58
charlwe might still have a higher gdp per capita at the moment but i think they will overtake us in the not too distant future20:59
charlthe german work ethic is really good, in NL i find the work ethic lacking20:59
psytabI think NL really got messed up because of politics too20:59
charlnah well the politics are crazy in all countries20:59
charli sometimes listen to germany and i also shake my head at merkel21:00
psytaba country that functioned well is being ruined until only rich people can stay21:00
charlnot all is good in the bundesrepublik21:00
psytabI know21:00
charlyeah but in NL i think people have had too much money for too long21:01
charland too much chasing after internationalisation instead of focusing on simply doing good work21:01
charlgoing back to basics, focusing on technology and manufacturing, that's what germany is doing21:01
charlthey are doing it because they have a good work ethic, they are thorough in their approach, they focus on growing their own economy21:01
psytabI am actually thinking of working in IE/DE for some time and then just buying some property in PL21:01
psytabyes, good plan21:02
charlbuying property in PL is probably a good investment21:02
psytabalso the cost of housing is half over there21:02
charlalthough it's impossible to say where the future will take us21:02
charlthe cost of buying a house where i live is relatively low and still very expensive imho21:02
charlrelatively low for dutch standards i mean21:03
psytabyes21:03
psytabI don't think I'm going to buy anything in NL21:03
psytabbecause I don't see myself living there in the longer term21:04
charlwell look at what happened a couple of years ago21:04
charlafter the decades of increase in value in housing, the market collapsed21:04
charlin NL i mean21:04
charlbefore that people would have said it's a great investment but what do people say now21:04
charlbut problem is, nobody will know what happens in the long term, right21:05
psytabit was just a bubble, but it hasn't completely burst21:05
charlwell it will probably start to climb again soon enough21:05
charlnow that the country is out of recession again but yeah, who knows21:06
charli was a bit frightened about the recent chaos in the ukraine as well in terms of living in the east of europe though21:06
charlit's a different culture that i have very little grips on21:06
charlbut i'm sure that doesn't reflect on poland in any way21:06
psytabI can understand that but poland is quite safe21:06
psytabespecially if you are on the western side where poznan and wroclaw lie21:07
psytabthat's practically germany21:07
charlyeah but i'm quite interested to know more about the east european culture because i don't understand the way they think and work at all21:07
charlah interesting, yeah it depends a lot on where you are21:07
charlfrom the outside it looks like there are massive differences in the culture between east and west in europe21:08
psytabthey are quite smart and work hard21:08
charlyeah i've heard that from a lot of people21:08
psytabI don't really see much difference between NL and PL21:08
charlinteresting, although i don't know if that's a good thing (for PL) :P21:09
psytabbut yeah LT, LV and EE are more developed because of scandinavian investments :D21:09
psytabhaha21:09
charli sometimes think people in NL have forgotten what life is really about, its all money money money21:09
psytabyes21:09
charlpeople get greedy everything turns to sh*t21:10
psytabPL is very capitalist too, but there is still a human face to it21:10
charla21:10
charl*ah21:10
psytabcheap goods and free toilets at malls21:10
charli'm quite interested to brush up my german though21:10
charlespecially after i've been to munster two weeks ago21:10
psytabfriendliness and politeness that you are used to21:11
charlmunster was AH-MAY-ZIJNG21:11
charli could most definitely live there21:11
charlthat promenade is also especially beautiful21:11
charlwe walked a full 4,5 KM by foot on that trail21:12
charland then went into the centre of munster, amazing shopping, great feel21:12
charland the midweek market at the dom is awesome21:12
psytabI like german cities too21:12
psytabI've been to many of them21:13
charland it's close by NL so i can easily come visit friends and family21:13
psytabbut still I think PL may overtake them in the future21:13
psytabhere everything is open 7 days a week21:13
psytabit's like they are more capitalist than even the US lol21:14
psytabbut yeah, my niece told me last week I'm a pole now do what am I doing in NL21:15
charlthat's not good though21:15
charlthey will end up like NL21:16
psytabit allows for the economy to develop faster, but I hope they will not only value money21:16
charlthat's the danger yeah21:17
charloh well21:17
charlwe'll see what the future holds :)21:17
charlalthough i don't like the EU at least one benefit is that we can move around as we want21:18
charlso there are plenty of opportunities21:18
psytabstill paying just 300 euros a month for a place to live including all costs is nice :)21:18
psytabyes21:18
charlah i'm paying almost twice that21:18
charlbut that said i rent 75m2 right in the centre of the city21:18
charlwalking distance from all the major shops21:18
psytabmaybe 150 euros for food21:18
psytabyes, that's great for the netherlands21:19
charlnot bad indeed21:19
psytabI guess I got spoiled living here21:19
psytabmaybe even become somewhat of a cheapskate21:20
psytabbut everything is just so cheap over here21:20
charli live 6km from my work (and can go by bicycle almost line of sight) so it's good as well, i like that living here21:20
psytabyes21:21
charlbrb21:21

charlback21:36
psytabwelcome back21:37
charlthanks :)21:38
psytabyou're welcome :)21:39
charllol21:40
charlwe've very polite this evening :D21:40
charli installed skype for my mom today but did it inside a VM21:41
charlshe runs ubuntu 14.04.1 on her macbook pro21:41
charlas the host operating system21:41
charlso i first installed virtualbox and then inside that i installed another copy of ubuntu 14.04.1 as a guest operating system21:41
charland then inside that i installed skype21:41
charlthe reason for it is so that i can isolate the potentially malicious piece of software (skype) from the rest of the operating system21:42
charlso that what she does on her host should in principle remain safe21:42
charli'm actually just using virtualisation to sandbox the application21:42
charlbut that got me thinking, i should do more with virtual appliances like that21:42
charlfor that you actually need a version of ubuntu that is super minimalist with a minimal footprint21:43
charlonly for the purpose of running a single or small set of desktop applications21:44
charla bit like osv but then for desktop applications instead of servers21:44
psytabyes, you're right21:45
psytabI think this kind of sandboxing should be a basic part of an operating system21:45
psytabor basic functionality rather21:46
psytabbut doesn't linux already have something like that?21:47
psytabI know solaris has zones21:47
charlthere is docker that creates a type of application container but i'm not sure how well it isolates and how secure it is21:49
charlyou need to isolate not only the file system but also the memory space, etc21:49
psytabyes indeed21:52
psytabbut maybe it can be made more transparent using some kind of kvm instance21:52
psytabI'd have to look into that once I've moved to my new place21:53
charlyeah it's interesting stuff21:55
charlthree years ago i was working on this https://github.com/ushahidi/dpr21:56
charli want to take that to the next level now21:56
psytabthat's a great project21:58
psytabI would like to have something without any persistence whatsoever even running from a normal installation21:59
psytabbut too much linux software assumes writing to system files and logs22:00
charlwell that's exactly what i did there with dpr22:02
charlit makes use of aufs and tmpfs to achieve that22:02
charlit effectively functions like a live cd22:02
charlro from disk and rw to tmpfs, all changes get written to tmpfs and not to disk22:03
charlhttps://github.com/ushahidi/dpr/blob/master/rootaufs.sh22:03
charli hear my bed calling me... nn !22:04
psytabnight!22:05
