SquirmSo07:08
SquirmI may have bought myself the Galaxy S507:08
theblazehenSquirm: nice07:09
* theblazehen is wanting the Jolla phone 07:09
Squirmtheblazehen: Sailfish OS?07:10
theblazehenSquirm: yeah :)07:10
Squirmtheblazehen: look at this phone, russian made. Imagine if Amazon had thought of it... http://yotaphone.com/gb-en/07:10
theblazehenoh wow.. I'f that could run salifish os.. <307:11
SquirmWhy Sailfish?07:11
theblazehenNot a fan of the curves though..07:11
theblazehen'Cause  sailfish OS just appeals to me, and it uses standard linux stuff07:12
theblazehenEg. IIRC RPM's for packages, wayland for display07:12
theblazehenand has full terminal access07:12
theblazehenBasically a sucessor to the N900 in spirit, I guess you could say07:12
Squirmthat's cool. It looks like an actual linux OS, not like Android, they stripped it too much07:12
SquirmAlthough Ubuntu Touch could also be quite cool07:13
theblazehenwhat you mean by "they srripped it too much". Android takes too much of the linux away? Agreed on that07:13
SquirmYep07:13
theblazehenyeah, I don't like the way ubuntu is going however07:13
theblazehenWith Mir and all that07:13
SquirmYou can root it and install Busybox, then you're pretty much back to where you want to be07:14
theblazehenProbably most likely to suceed however07:14
theblazehenyeah.. You can also on android however07:14
Kiloshi Squirm 07:14
SquirmThat's what I mean07:14
theblazehenHave you seen the videos of the Salifish OS UI?07:14
Squirmhey Kilos07:14

Kilosi even swopped sims in modem09:44
Kilosno man this is on this pc not ssh to another one09:45
Kilosi dont do all that fancy stuffs09:45
Kilosmaybe telkom was doing something09:45

Kilosme looks at grembles part/joins13:24
theblazehenAnyone here manage to get vagrant running with libvirt as the provider? With ssh?13:24
theblazehenKilos: ah13:24
charlgood afternoon13:36
charlMaaz: coffee on13:36
* Maaz starts grinding coffee13:36
charlMaaz: large13:36
MaazIn a beer mug just for you charl13:37
charlMaaz: with rusks13:37
MaazThere is a packet of Ouma's in the cupboard charl help yourself13:37
charlbusy playing with kubernetes, amazing stuff13:38
MaazCoffee's ready for charl!13:40
charlMaaz: thanks13:44
Maazcharl: Okay :-)13:44
Kiloshi charl 13:46
Kiloswb inetpro plustwo Mzolisto 14:39
Kiloswat maak julle14:39
plustwo... nie baie goed die kant Oom. :(14:41
gremble_Maak julle nie baie goed nie?14:43
=== gremble_ is now known as gremble
grembleDo you want to make more things?14:43
plustwonot good14:43
grembleOh, not doing well. That sucks14:44
theblazehenhi plustwo14:44
plustwounfortunately, eishkom14:44

plustwohi theblazehen & everybody o/14:45
charlhi plustwo 14:46

theblazehenhi charl14:47
charlhi theblazehen 14:47
theblazehencharl: you ever use vagrant?14:48
charlyes14:48
charlused it just now to deploy this kubernetes stack for testing14:48
theblazehenhmm. Used it with libvert before?14:49
charlnope not specifically14:49
theblazehenI'm trying to use it with libver, and ssh to another machine14:49
theblazehenoh, ok..14:49
theblazehenThink I need to patch my ruby or something as far as I can tell14:49
charli mostly just use it locally for testing14:49
theblazehenTrying to reinstall the plugin, and the vagrant-libvert gem seems to change what it depends on..14:50
theblazehenah, ok14:50
charland for that i just let it connect with virtualbox directly14:50
theblazehenah14:50
charli have vmware workstation too but then i have to configure it again14:50
theblazehenWonder if I can let it use kvm over the network, directly..14:50
theblazehenyeah14:50
grembleI tried to virtualbox once14:51
charlit should be possible if you have ssh, but yeah i don't have experience14:51
gremblenever again14:51
charlbad exeperience gremble ?14:51
charlexperience14:51
theblazehencharl: yeah, I have the config right. Think something is wrong with the arch runy, or whatever14:51
theblazehenSaw an issue on github about it14:52
grembleYup. A lot of effort with not much reward14:52
theblazehengremble: yeah. You use kvm now, or what?14:52
grembletheblazehen: no, I have no need for virtualisation really14:52
grembleOutside of python virtual environments14:52
theblazehengremble: ah.. You do any dev stuff?14:52
theblazehenah, yeah14:52
gremble(that I still have to get a hang on)14:52
theblazehenthat's good enough14:52
grembleI try not to code much14:52
gremble:P14:52
grembleDislike it14:53
gremble(which is ironic for someone that really likes computer science)14:53
charlno it's for the individual14:53
charleveryone is different14:53
charli work as a programmer and even i don't always know if i like it or not14:53
charlactually i do rather like programming but software development as a whole is not always fun14:53
grembleI find it a very inefficient way to solve problems.14:54
charlbut then that also counts for operations14:54
charlcoding ?!14:54
grembleYup14:54
charlwhy?14:54
charlit should be the most efficient, capture the logic in code and let the computer do your work for you14:54
grembleThe act of solving a problem introduces more problems, ie. bugs etcetera14:55
gremble'should'14:55
grembleyes14:55
charliteration and refinement is central to human learning14:55
grembleUnfortunately humans don't think much like machines14:55
charlthat counts for everything14:55
charlhuman brains also function like complex computers, just much more complex14:56
charlthat's why we have trouble going down to basics when we interact with our own technology14:56
theblazehengremble: tried functional programing? lol14:56
gremblereducing the human mind to a computer is a little reductionist. We are irrational, arbitrary and contradictory14:57
grembleEverything that a machine cannot be14:57
grembletheblazehen: a little. I should spend some time doing it since I am working on lambda calculus14:57
grembleBut right now I am deciding on whether I want to nap or work on ibid14:58
gremblehaha14:58
Kilosnapbe good methinks, im near there too14:59
Kilosbut fixing ibid is also good15:00
Kilosthen we find a good fast host for QA and she can come here too15:01
gremble:P15:02
Kilosmaybe we can ask graeme to host it for us15:02
inetprodankie oom15:02
grembleGet a small vps :P15:02
Kilosai! inetpro julle sukkel ne15:02
Kiloshetzner be lekker fast gremble 15:02
Kilosian got a site there or something and its fast15:03
inetproKilos: darem nie helemal soos eishkom nie15:03
grembleWho puts a spellchecker in an IDE >.>15:03
Kilosisnt ide the ribbon cable used on pata drives15:04
grembleIntegrated development environment15:04
inetpromaar ek dink dit is maar hoofsaaklik hulle wat vir ons die probleme veroorsaak, goeie leerkurwes vir almal wat dit moet verduur15:05
inetpromet so bietjie geduld sal ons uiteindelik daar kom15:06
Kilossjoe hulle se ons kan sukke onderbreekings verwag tot in maart15:07
inetprogoeie leerkurwes vir almal wat stelsels moet aan die gang kry en aan die gang hou met sulke onbeplande onderbrekings15:08
inetpronee meneer, jy verstaan verkeerd15:08
Kilosdrie generators wat herstel moet word15:08
Kiloso?15:08
inetproek dink dit gaan nog vyf jaar vat, ten minste15:08
Kiloslol15:08
plustwoinetpro: that long?15:09
Kilosveral as hulle terbienes boot sonder om eers die lubrikasie systeem eers te start15:09
Kilosturbines?15:09
inetproplustwo: yep, we live in very challenging times15:09
inetproyou don't build a generator in a year or two15:10
Kilosmy 200g drive that has elementaryos on died bad with the last power cuts15:10
Kilosubun tu cant even see it15:10
plustwobut there's a windmill farm....! isn't that suppose to gen some juice?15:11
plustwojammer oom15:11
inetproplustwo: see https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B4Vq8akCEAA_ow3.jpg15:11
Kilosya but the farm cant supply more than they have broken15:11
plustwofunny part, we still pay our rates... plus tarrif increases15:12
Kilosthats not for upgrading, thats to build nkandlas15:13
plustwoinetpro: that graph is not very healthy15:13
plustwonkandla se ****. he must pay back the money15:14
inetprothat is small change when you look at the costs of Eskom generators15:14
Kiloslol15:14
Kilosthose armatures alone cost millions15:15
Kilosi can get that info from my boet15:15
Kiloshe just smiles now, sitting in rotek head office in dubai15:15
Kilosi just hope we all got power next tuesday night for the re-verification thing15:16
Kilosim still waiting to see your testimonial inetpro 15:17
inetproKilos: ai, still too many other challenges here... I'll get to that at some point15:17
Kilosim patient, ill wait15:18
inetprocool15:18
inetpromeanwhile I got gatvol of my weak signal15:18
Kilos7 days left15:19
Kilosoh my still not fixed?15:19
inetprowent and got myself the Huawei B593s-601 LTE router at Telkom15:19
Kilosrev someone man15:19
Kilosno improvement?15:19
inetproso far having a stable connection at least15:20
Kiloswow was your old router faulty?15:20
inetproit's not faster than what I got with the older router but at least is stable, for now15:20
Kilosor the new one just receives a better signal15:20
Kiloslike their d-157 usb modem picks up a signal when the d-156 doesnt15:21
inetprothis one has two antennas15:21
Kilosjust my luck to have bought the weaker one15:22
Kilosoh you not using a yagi with it?15:22
inetprohave not tried connecting to my antenna on the roof yet 15:22
Kilosthat should strengthen it lots15:23
Kilosif you get stable connection from the router antennas then the yagi should get you back up to full power again15:23
Kilosyou 2 on a router make up a dipole right?15:24
inetprouh?15:24
Kilosai!15:24
KilosMaaz: google dipole antennas15:25
MaazKilos: "Dipole antenna - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipole_antenna :: "Antenna Here is a Dipole - ARRL" http://www.arrl.org/files/file/Technology/tis/info/pdf/9106023.pdf :: "The Dipole Antenna - What is a dipole Antenna?" http://www.hamuniverse.com/dipoleantenna.html :: "The Dipole Antenna - Antenna Theory" http://www.antenna-15:25

Kilosthe yagi has a folded dipole as it driven element15:26
Kiloswith directors and a reflector at the back15:27
inetprothat's going over me head15:27
Kilosai!15:27
Kilosat least weve had some rain15:28
Kilos43mm in last 2 nights15:28
inetprowow, just had 30mm15:31
Kilosweeds having a field day15:31
Kilosi love ctrl+R in konversation15:33
Kilosoh inetpro heres an antenna example for you15:35
Kilosbunny ears on tv is a dipole15:36
Kilosthe outside one is a yagi15:36
Kilosmany many times stronger15:36
inetproat the moment I am happy with slow but steady15:40
inetprotoo fast and all data is lost to quickly15:41
inetpro*too quickly15:41
Kiloshahaha15:42
Kiloshttp://mybroadband.co.za/news/government/115351-the-frightening-reality-about-eskom.html15:58
Kilosso sad15:58
Kiloswbb. gonna try get elementaryos going again16:15
grembleengineroom.trackmaven.com/blog/making-a-mockery-of-python this is very cool17:07
grembleAnyone here familiar with using PyCharm?17:31
gremblePlease don't talk so much. I cannot keep up19:55
theblazehengremble: IIRC charl is20:31
grembletheblazehen: that has been long since sorted :P If I had to wait for a response here I would wait foreverandever20:33
gremble:P20:33
theblazehenlol.. :p20:33
theblazehenhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noop eww..20:34
theblazehen"Int", "String" ?!20:34
theblazehenCaptials?!20:35
grembleHave you looked at Rust?20:35
gremblefrom Mozilla20:35
theblazehenyeah :)20:35
gremblePretty good looking language20:35
theblazehenLiking it so far20:35
grembleIf you like having your hand held20:35
gremble:P20:35
theblazehenBit lacking in the crypto departament :(20:35
grembleIt is still a 0.x version though20:36
gremblelol20:36
theblazehenyeah, heard people complain about the outdated docs20:36
* theblazehen is wondering I'f I should run vagrant locally and connect to VM's with libvert, or run vagrant on the VM host, and access it with SSH...20:37
grembleIt looks like vagrant is a wrapper around a VM20:38
grembleNever used it so I have no icea20:38
grembleidea even20:38
theblazehenYeah, not much benefit for pyhton20:39
theblazehenfor everythng else..20:39
theblazehenvagrant init && vagrant up = new, fully running, VM20:39
grembleI've always wondered about setting up virtual development environments, but I mainly use C and C++20:39
grembleNo need for any of that funny business20:40
theblazehenyou should try it.20:40
theblazehenhttps://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/getting-started/20:40
grembleIt is really neat technology, but I don't think I will spend much time with it. :P The only software development that I do is mathematical modelling, numerical analysis and apparently an IRC robot20:43
