SDCDevhi Kilos06:18
ThatGraemeGuyKilos: http://www.takealot.com/help/exchange-return-policy06:18
Kilosty ThatGraemeGuy  06:18
SDCDevmy ex gf's gran used to call afrikaans "the cancer of the throat language"06:19
Kiloshahaha06:19
KilosThatGraemeGuy  they look good. will look at them for sure06:19
SquirmThatGraemeGuy: do you get to use their lovely little backbone?06:56
Squirmdo they have a backbone? Or just a fairly decent connection?06:57
Kiloshi gremble  07:01
ThatGraemeGuySquirm: eh?07:14
Squirmat work... What sort of internet connection do you have?07:15
ThatGraemeGuyah07:15
ThatGraemeGuyits complicated07:15
Kilosfast one07:16
ThatGraemeGuyour data centres are on a 10Gbps fibre thing from EOS Network Solutions primarily, with backup connectivity via IS should there be some issue, which is pretty rare. failover is completely seamless if it does need to happen07:16
ThatGraemeGuyand then our office has a wireless link into one of the DCs07:17
Squirmso you're limited to the speed of your wireless network07:17
ThatGraemeGuy30Mbps I think, but we are moving into new offices gradually starting this weekend and that has a 100Mbps fibre link into the DC with wireless as a backup07:17
ThatGraemeGuypretty much07:18
SquirmThatGraemeGuy: then invest in these ;)07:19
Squirmhttp://www.ubnt.com/broadband/#airfiber:hardware07:19
ThatGraemeGuywe are moving, the new place has 100Mbps fibre07:19
Squirmalthough they're fairly expensive :/ Probably cheaper to run 100mb Fiber :P 07:19
ThatGraemeGuyyeah07:19
ThatGraemeGuyespecially since it isn't internet service over fibre like you'd get from neotel or whoever07:19
ThatGraemeGuyits just a point-to-point link from bellville to newlands07:20
ThatGraemeGuyhttp://www.speedtest.net/my-result/382154593307:20
SquirmThatGraemeGuy: so is that. It's just a PtP link07:20
SquirmThatGraemeGuy: where are your offices?07:21
ThatGraemeGuyyes, but fibre isn't susceptible to nearly as much external influence as wifi07:21
SquirmBellville?07:21
ThatGraemeGuycurrently durbanville, moving to bellville07:21
Squirmah07:21
ThatGraemeGuystarting to move some people this weekend, but my team moves next friday07:21
Squirmwe run fibre throughout the school.07:22
Squirmjust brought in 1.4km of 24core07:22
charlgood morning07:22
charlMaaz: coffee on07:22
* Maaz starts grinding coffee07:22
Squirmmainly for the lightning issues we have :/07:22
Squirmmainly 100mbit, but we're moving some of the bigger links to 1000mbit07:23
Squirmslowly07:23
ThatGraemeGuyno lightning worries down this side of the world thankfully :)07:23
Squirmwe lose a lot to lightning. but we restrict it with fibre07:24
Squirmso we lose a switch and maybe 3/4 network cards, hopefully not the computers attached to them07:24
Squirmand sometimes even a projector or two :/07:24
ThatGraemeGuyaren't there lightning protection devices that solve all that?07:24
Squirmhappens about two times during summer :/07:24
SquirmThatGraemeGuy: in the process of getting our buildings earthed properly07:24
Squirmit's bad...07:25
Squirmnice tin roof07:25
ThatGraemeGuyyeah sounds like a huge hassle07:25
Squirmcorrugated iron07:25
Squirmbut it's costly07:25
Squirmso it's being held off07:25
Squirm:/07:25
Squirmhttp://www.speedtest.net/my-result/382154888907:25
Squirmoh dear that's poor. but in the evening(when the pupils have no internet), I can get up to 11/1207:26
MaazCoffee's ready for charl!07:26
Squirmupload goes up to about 1...07:26
SquirmI think by the time I get to Cape Town, we should have 20mbit fibre and 20mbit VDSL in my new office07:27
Squirm^^07:27
SquirmVDSL failover07:27
charlMaaz: thanks07:27
Maazcharl: Sure07:27
charl20mbps fibre? what is that, shouldn't you at least be getting 100mbps?07:28
charlwe run a 100gbps circuit between buildings where i work07:28
Squirmcharl: I wish07:36
Squirmnot really needed though07:36
SquirmHetzner hosts the website :P07:36
ThatGraemeGuyno vdsl on my exchange yet07:40
ThatGraemeGuyalthough too expensive to consider anyway07:40
ThatGraemeGuythere was mention on mybb a while ago that telkom were considering making 4Mbps the entry level for ADSL07:40
ThatGraemeGuythat will suit me just fine07:40
Kiloswbb later, going now08:00
KilosMaaz  watch them08:00
MaazOK Kilos I'll keep an eye on them for you08:00
Trixar_zaIt annoys me when people mistake Linux hackers for script kiddies or h4x0rs.08:22
charlthe term hacker has now gotten so watered down there is no such thing imho08:24
charlit's like cloud, what is it these days08:25
charlask 10 people and get at least 8 different answers08:25
magespawngood morning all08:25
charlhey magespawn 08:25
charlhow's it going08:25
Trixar_zaWhen I say it and mean it, it's normally a programmer of exceptional skill that can appreciate the hack value of code - as in, the elegant or concise way it solves a problem.08:27
magespawnhi charl 08:27
magespawngood and you?08:27
Trixar_zaI do not mean it like the media does - which if you haven't guessed is run by people that barely do research - if at all - and publish things from the maximum outrage effect.08:27
Trixar_zaThere is no such thing as black hat or white hat - there is only grey - and that's just because they're suited hackers hired of the express purpose of testing and optimizing security.08:29
magespawnTrixar_za, i tend to use in the way of somebody who likes to tinker with things and change the way they work, explore the limits of what tools can do etc08:29
Trixar_zaIt's a broad term. But if you mean it's somebody that breaks into systems for fun - that's a security penetration expert at best and a wannabe pre-created tool using h4x0r or what we call crackers.08:31
magespawnlike the guy who built a automated coffee machine with an arduino08:31
magespawnyup indeed08:31
grembleo/08:31
Trixar_zaYeah, I'd call that an ingenious and elegant hack :P08:31
Trixar_zaEspecially because I'm craving coffee right now08:32
Trixar_zaHi gremble08:32
charlmagespawn: i'm good08:32
grembleI just got my github student pack. I am excited :P08:33
charlgremble: pic or it didn't happen :D08:34
Trixar_zaWhat's that?08:34
gremblehttps://education.github.com/pack08:34
charlTrixar_za: i guess there is a type of a hacker identity but i call it an identity crisis more than an identity08:35
charlTrixar_za: getting interested in something, learning more about it and doing cool things with it doesn't need any term other than hobbiest/enthusiast08:36
magespawnhi gremble 08:36
charlTrixar_za: when i go to job interviews and i *always* get the dumb question about what i do in my free time, i just say i hobby with computers08:36
charlTrixar_za: i don't tell them i'm a "hacker" or a whatever for me i'm just hobbying08:36
charlfor that same matter, you can be a "hacker" in any subject, not only computers08:36
Trixar_zaI don't either, but that's just because of the negative reaction08:36
Trixar_zaHell, just tell some people I use Linux already makes them think I break into systems for fun >.>08:37
charlyeah but that's also just plain dumb and people who don't really know/understand IT08:37
charljust point out to them they are using linux every single time they use their android phone08:37
charllinux is only half an operating system in any case without any shell, android adds the shell part08:38
charlgnu/linux of course is a complete operating system where gnu is the shell08:38
Trixar_zaI also have to call it "Lie-nox" instead of "Lin-nix" so they'd understand me :P08:38
charlin dutch we pronounce it "linneyks" i guess that just depends on the language08:39
Trixar_zaI watched the video of Linus pronouncing it himself - been using that pronunciation ever since. I also pronounce TeX correctly, which is also a little annoying with people that call it Tex.08:40
charlactually we pronounce it more like "ley-nuhks"08:40
charlsorry i don't know phonetic symbols :D08:40
Trixar_zaYeah, phonetics is hard :P08:41
charlneed to learn it some time08:41
charli always see it on the wikipedia and it says me nothing08:41
Trixar_zaI have learned the one thing nobody ever tells you or teaches you is to know when to reply and when to swallow your words.08:42
Squirmhttp://mybroadband.co.za/news/broadband/111594-rage-is-internet-usage-already-over-2tb.html08:47
charlTrixar_za: ??08:55
charlSquirm: nice !!08:55
Squirmcharl: yeah, I would like that...08:55
Squirmand I would like to be at the expo08:55
magespawnokay, peer does not like me today09:23

Kilosyou use it for windows drives?13:46
Kilosrsync does wonders on ubuntu13:47
