bushtechI use Yaaic on my droid phone09:11
ThatGraemeGuyit works and doesn't crash, i can say that much09:11
Kilosi wonder if my xperia can do that09:11

inetproyep09:27
Kilossjoe09:27
inetproas easy as that09:27
bushtechKilos, don't think you can get into play store without logging in with gmail address09:28
Kilosya bduk most likely, but then it gets all my mails there too, 09:28
Kilosi even went and changed my password so it couldnt sync with mails all the time09:29
bushtechstop fighting google, you won't win :)09:30
Kiloshahaha09:31
Kilosmaybe i should get a new gmail account and use that09:32
ThatGraemeGuyyou don't have to sync your email09:32
ThatGraemeGuysign in to your google account and then go to account settings and turn of sync for gmail09:33
Kilosoh can you turn it off09:33
ThatGraemeGuyand whatever else you don't want to automatically sync09:33
bushtechyep09:33
Kiloscool ty lemme try09:33
ThatGraemeGuyyou're going to have a tough time using an android device without signing in to your google account09:34
bushtech+1009:34
bdukI dont like to use these other mails like google or hotmail 09:34
Kilosi actually just needed whatsapp so ian gave me his old fone09:35
Kilosbut dont like using it much'09:36
Kilosneed to change glasses and then sukkel with the tiny keyboard09:36
bdukThats why a tab is better the keybord is a bit bigger09:37
Kiloslol09:37
ThatGraemeGuynobody is forcing you to use gmail09:37
Kilosnee man09:37
Kilosi can buy an i5 cpu for the price of a tablet09:38
bdukYou are forsed to open an account to use the store 09:39
bduki was forsed to open a yahoo account also when i wanted to join the repeater-builder forum also. 09:40
bdukits true Kilos  but its difficult to carry an i5 around with you09:41
Kilosi had jirc on my nokia at one time09:42
Kilosbut big work on fones09:42
Kilosand always flat batteries sjoe09:42
bdukI wont put it on a phone. just so much easyer on a tab, i dont even watsup on my phone anymore, get spoiled with a tab. Leve the phone things for the young ones with the good eyes and only use the phone for calls09:44

inetproPortuguese Startup Brings WiFi To The City By Equipping Vehicles With Routers http://www.ubergizmo.com/2014/12/portuguese-startup-brings-wifi-to-the-city-by-equipping-vehicles-with-routers/11:03
inetproKilos: ^^11:03
Kilosi saw something similar in mybroadband mails inetpro 11:03
Kilosmaking a wifi web with taxis and things11:04
inetproyep, using NetRider devices11:04
Kilosthat still dont help us though11:04
inetprosomebody just needs to start something similar here man11:05
Kilosonce ive saved enough for an i5 cpu then ill start saving for the ptawug goodies11:05
Kiloshere? as in town?11:05
ThatGraemeGuyyou really need an i5?11:06
ThatGraemeGuylike some significant cpu-heavy thing you have to do?11:06
inetproVeniam turns vehicles into WiFi hotspots www.veniam.com11:07
Kilosi still battle with some things ThatGraemeGuy , like kde is slow on this dual core11:07
ThatGraemeGuykde is slow on everything :)11:07
ThatGraemeGuythat's more down to slow hard disk than your cpu, almost certainly11:07
Kilosrofl no man11:07
ThatGraemeGuybe careful you are putting your money in the right place11:07
Kilosdual cores are way behind arent they11:08
Kilosmb supports ddr311:08
Kilosso only the cpu is slow still here i think11:09
ThatGraemeGuyI'm just saying, for general browsing use, there's almost certainly a greater need for a faster hard disk or more ram than a better cpu11:09
Kilosand fancy graphics cards are just too expensive11:09
bushtechThatGraemeGuy, is right, I run ubuntu with kde on a ssd and it's pretty snappy11:09
ThatGraemeGuyyou don't need fancy graphics either unless you're gaming11:10
amboSSD11:10
ambo:-D11:10
Kilosi have a newish 1TB sata drive in here11:10
ambono no no11:10
amboSSD :-D11:10
ThatGraemeGuyyeah i would far sooner spend on an SSD before a CPU 99% of the time11:10
Kilosssd too expensive for such tiny things11:10
ThatGraemeGuyhow much is an i5?11:10
Kilos230011:10
ThatGraemeGuydude c'mon seriously11:10
ambohow much is a 64GB SSD ?11:11
ThatGraemeGuyget a small/medium ssd for your OS11:11
Kilos64g too small11:11
ThatGraemeGuydata can be on whatever slow SATA nonsense you have11:11
ThatGraemeGuymeh i give up, ok buy the i511:11
ThatGraemeGuydon't cry here if your speed issue doesn't change at all11:11
Kiloswhat?11:12
Kiloswont the cpu make a diffs11:12
ThatGraemeGuyalmost certainly not11:12
Kilosoh my11:12
ThatGraemeGuyyou should try tracking your cpu usage11:12
ThatGraemeGuyjust install munin or similar11:12
Kilosok11:12
ThatGraemeGuyleave it alone and then check the graphs for your cpu usage over time11:12
ThatGraemeGuyand memory, etc11:13
ThatGraemeGuyalmost guaranteed you will find that spending money on cpu is completely wasted11:13
bushtechKilos, listen to da man11:13
* Kilos listening, munin installing11:14
bushtechos on small ssd, data on big drive ROCKS!11:16
bduki agree with that11:16
inetprofor interest sake, what is the cost of a 64GB SSD drive these days?11:17
bushtech& if your OS crashes your data is completely undisturbed11:18
ThatGraemeGuyinetpro: starting at around 700 iirc11:19
bushtech128Gb Corsair ssd R909 on takealot11:19
ThatGraemeGuyah even better11:19
Kilosok so explain then, the ssd is where you do your install right11:21
Kilosdo you then make /home on the sata drive11:21
Kilosor what goes where11:21
ThatGraemeGuyi'd have everything on ssd except data11:22
ThatGraemeGuyvideos, pics, whatever11:22
Kilosoh so your sata drive becomes only sleeping storage11:23
Kilosreading this11:25
Kiloshttp://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/ssd-upgrade-hard-drive,2956.html11:25
inetproThatGraemeGuy: for longer drive life I would actually put /var on HDD11:28
inetprothough SSD would definitely be faster11:29
ThatGraemeGuyafaik the lifetime issues aren'11:29
ThatGraemeGuyafaik the lifetime issues aren't much of a hassle anymore unless you are doing a ton of writes11:29
ThatGraemeGuylike way way more than an average pc11:30
ThatGraemeGuybut I don't follow this stuff closely, just read stuff here and there, happy to be pointed in the right direction11:30
ThatGraemeGuyi mean you have laptops nowadays that only have ssd, and last plenty long11:30
ThatGraemeGuymine is already more than a year an no sign of slowdown11:31
ThatGraemeGuymy BIOS POST takes longer than the O/S booting11:31
inetprointeresting11:31
Kiloshmm...11:31
ThatGraemeGuyI was lucky this was the laptop they gave me but now that I've used SSD I will never own a PC without one11:33
ThatGraemeGuythe difference is insane11:33
inetprotheblazehen_: thanks for mentioning ncdu the other day11:34
ThatGraemeGuyinetpro: also check kdirstat if its on a GUI machine11:35
inetproThatGraemeGuy: I've used kdirstat a lot11:35
inetproprefer the cli as much as possible though11:35
* inetpro surprised to see a 2GB /usr/lib11:37
inetprogrown quite a lot since my last check11:38
Kiloshttp://www.pricecheck.co.za/search?search=Transcend+SSD340+64GB+2.5%27%27+SATA+III+Solid+State+Drive11:38
KilosR53811:39
Kilosgaan ons koop inetpro 11:39
inetproKilos: I'm happy with my performance11:39
Kilosya but you arent using a dual core i bet11:40
ThatGraemeGuyoi11:42
Kilosim very tempted ThatGraemeGuy 11:42
Kiloscan buy one soon11:42
ThatGraemeGuycpu isn't the bottleneck for the massive majority, didn't you hear what we said11:42
Kilosyes i heard11:43
Kilosoh sorry what command do i use for munin?11:43
Kilosmunin-update?11:44
ThatGraemeGuydid you install it already?11:44
ThatGraemeGuyjust 'apt-get install munin'11:44
Kilosi looked at man munin inetpro 11:44
Kilosi did aptitude install munin11:44
ThatGraemeGuyyeah same thing11:44
Kilosbut dunno how to start it11:45
Kilosor where it is11:45
ThatGraemeGuyit runs every 5 mins, you can find the files it generates in /var/cache/munin/www i think11:45
ThatGraemeGuytry /var/cache/munin/www/index.html in a browser11:46
Kiloslol11:47
KilosThis webpage is not found11:48
KilosNo webpage was found for the web address: file:///var/cache/munin/www/index.html%20in%20a%20browser11:48

Kilosnot with the in a browser at the end as well11:54
Kiloshehe11:54

bdukThe problem for us over 50's is that we cant remember this next week, hell cant even remember what i had for breakfast11:56
Kilosbut im convinced about the ssd. have saved 1400 towards the i511:57
Kilosso can get one then maybe if its as fast as you say save further for a wireless setup11:57

Kilosso who knows12:14
Kilosnow im scheming about whether to get the 128g rather than the 64g ssd12:15
bdukmy 2 cents, im thinking 2 x 64 and use one as an imige backup12:16
Kilosim just scared of buying a rubbish one12:23
Kilosis transcend good or cheapy12:23
Kiloshttp://www.loot.co.za/product/transcend-ssd340-series-solid-state-drive-64gb-sata-i/pvyl-2916-g65012:24

bdukI will rather buy from him then i know where it came from and there will be a guarentee12:27
Kilosdoes he deliver?12:28

Kilosas dit goed is hoekom ai! jy man16:54
Kilosoh eventually i see what you are getting at16:54
Kilosi should do like you and say i dont understand that16:55

Kilosi think local taxis are also starting to supply wifi16:57
