| Kilos | cant you get xchat for it anymore | 07:28 |
| Kilos | hahaha he watches everything | 07:28 |
| Kilos | and only answers selectively | 07:28 |
| gremble | I detest installers that you download that then downloads their installers | 07:29 |
| Kilos | https://hexchat.github.io/ | 07:30 |
| gremble | Why can't you just download the entire thing and let me install it offline if I should want to?! | 07:30 |
| Kilos | ya that is rather painful | 07:31 |
| Kilos | mazal ^^ | 07:32 |
| gremble | I don't know whether anyone here uses github pages. Have a look at prose.io if you do | 07:38 |
| Kilos | what is that about gremble | 07:45 |
| Kilos | what wants to authorise what | 07:46 |
| mazal | Kilos: That is the exact cuplrit righ there | 07:50 |

| gremble | Then you can use it to write prose to github | 07:53 |
| gremble | Useful for authoring Pages sites | 07:53 |
| Kilos | is it a good thing or a bad thing | 07:54 |
| Kilos | i dont sommer trust anything | 07:54 |

| Kilos | hi magespawn | 07:54 |
| magespawn | hi kilos | 07:55 |
| gremble | I am giving it a whirl and see what's up | 07:55 |
| Kilos | cool ty | 07:55 |
| gremble | It's easy to revoke permissions | 07:55 |
| magespawn | apparently thos dns servers that are causing my problem actually belong to mtn, and they have specifically null routed that web address | 07:56 |
| magespawn | s/thos/those | 07:56 |
| Kilos | eish | 07:56 |
| magespawn | so afrihost is going to get hold of them and find out why, afrihost said they were not aware of it | 07:57 |
| gremble | Because hacking is bad mmkay | 07:57 |
| Kilos | good, thats the way | 07:57 |
| magespawn | gremble that may be, but they are still not suppposed to stop you going to the website | 07:58 |
| Kilos | what you want to view should be your own option not the isp's | 07:58 |
| magespawn | maybe i can get a job arihost | 07:58 |
| gremble | No, I know. It is good that these things come out | 07:58 |
| magespawn | s/arihost/afrihost | 07:59 |
| gremble | I wouldn't be surprised if there is more subtle censorship going on | 07:59 |
| magespawn | exactly, this makes me want to dig into it more and see what else i can find | 07:59 |
| Kilos | lol | 07:59 |

| * Padroni greets ThatGraemeGuy | 08:07 | |
| Kilos | well at least thats a good sign | 08:07 |
| Padroni | anything interesting happen? | 08:08 |
| Kilos | um | 08:08 |
| Kilos | magespawn fighting afrihost to fight mtn to not try steal his right to open pages he wants to view | 08:09 |
| Kilos | magespawn give the link | 08:10 |
| * Padroni thinks this should be interesting... | 08:10 | |
| Kilos | read last nights log | 08:10 |
| Kilos | and this morning he told who the culprit is | 08:11 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | morning Padroni | 08:12 |
| Kilos | heres what wouldnt open www.defcon.org | 08:12 |
| Padroni | I get this: | 08:14 |
| Padroni | SSL connection error | 08:14 |
| Padroni | Unable to make a secure connection to the server. This may be a problem with the server, or it may be requiring a client authentication certificate that you don't have. | 08:14 |
| pieter2627 | morning all | 08:14 |
| Padroni | hi pieter2627 | 08:15 |
| Kilos | ha they dont like you either | 08:15 |
| * Padroni wonder if it will work via TOR | 08:15 | |
| magespawn | Link Kilos? | 08:15 |
| Padroni | hi mage | 08:15 |
| magespawn | hi Padroni | 08:15 |
| Kilos | np magespawn i gave it | 08:15 |
| Padroni | any news on that defcon thing | 08:16 |
| Kilos | works kiff here Padroni | 08:16 |
| * Padroni notes he is also with Afrihost | 08:16 | |
| magespawn | just that it is the mtn dns servers that have that address null routed | 08:16 |
| Padroni | if you switch your DNS to Google, does it work? | 08:16 |
| magespawn | yes but it has to be switched at a computer level, not at the router | 08:17 |
| Padroni | yeah this is some bullshit | 08:18 |
| Padroni | did you get any reaction from Afrihost? | 08:18 |
| Kilos | ya they told him mtn blocke3d it | 08:19 |
| Kilos | but only from his linux machine not the windows one | 08:20 |
| magespawn | i spoke to the call centre who called up one of their network tech, who found out that it is the mtn dns the problem, the call centre said they would get back to me | 08:20 |
| Padroni | of course they will | 08:21 |
| Padroni | because callcentres are renowned for calling back with answers | 08:22 |
| Kilos | lol | 08:22 |
| gremble | I worked at a callcenter once. No one liked it when I called them :( | 08:22 |
| Padroni | What did you sell? | 08:23 |
| gremble | Liberty Life | 08:23 |
| gremble | Shit job | 08:23 |
| Padroni | I don't know what I was expecting... | 08:23 |
| magespawn | Kilos that is because i had google dns on the win laptop | 08:23 |
| Kilos | ah | 08:24 |
| Padroni | gremble | 08:24 |
| Padroni | working for liberty must be the same as buying an Isuzu double-cab? | 08:24 |
| Padroni | actually no | 08:24 |
| Padroni | with the Isuzu you can still tint the windows so no one recognise you ... | 08:24 |
| magespawn | Padroni i have had relatively good experiences with Afrihost call centre | 08:24 |
| Kilos | i member one time i had to add that in /etc/sources/list i think fly said | 08:24 |
| Kilos | 8.8.8.8 | 08:24 |
| Padroni | yeah in Windows you add it in your network settings | 08:25 |
| Padroni | or hosts file | 08:25 |
| Padroni | but I advise against the latter | 08:25 |
| Padroni | too many things can go wrong with that | 08:25 |
| Kilos | i had to do it to get a second pc to share my 3g connection iirc | 08:26 |
| Kilos | using iptables | 08:26 |
| gremble | You're practically invisible, except for the hatred and contempt ;P | 08:26 |
| gremble | This is so far an interesting read www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2015-paul-ford-what-is-code/ | 08:28 |
| pieter2627 | Kilos: i think that should be /etc/resolv.conf | 08:28 |
| Kilos | oh maybe there ya | 08:29 |
| Kilos | but that was a few releases ago , 14.04 dont have that prob | 08:29 |
| Padroni | anyone with a law background here? | 08:37 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | lol yeah | 08:38 |
| Padroni | you? | 08:38 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | hell no | 08:38 |
| Padroni | ah | 08:38 |
| ThatGraemeGuy | don't think lawyers would typically know how to use IRC | 08:38 |
| Padroni | yeah, it was a long shot, I guess | 08:39 |
| magespawn | i know a little | 08:45 |

| Kilos | you can get the sponges | 17:22 |
| Kilos | but even a wet rag works | 17:22 |
| Kilos | it has to be a fairly dense sponge | 17:23 |
| MaNI | I worry that the wrong sponge melts and coats the tip or something, I've heard that melting plastic or whatever with an iron can be really bad for that reason | 17:24 |
| Kilos | im going to be getting one of those other pencils for R350 | 17:24 |
| Kilos | use a piece of rag | 17:24 |
| MaNI | conductive pencil? | 17:24 |
| Kilos | or your finger | 17:24 |

| MaNI | next thing I can't access any of my bank accounts anymore because my fingerprints are gone | 17:31 |
| MaNI | maybe if I'm planning a robbery I'll consider | 17:31 |
| Kilos | lol no man | 17:31 |
| Kilos | there is no damage | 17:31 |
| Kilos | nm | 17:31 |
| Kilos | you can also put lots of solder onthen just throw it off into a bin | 17:32 |
| Kilos | resin core is best solder for pc board stuff | 17:32 |
| Kilos | and clean copper | 17:32 |
| MaNI | no idea what solder I'm using its on a roll thats older than me that I inherited | 17:33 |
| MaNI | seems to work great though | 17:33 |
| Kilos | red roll | 17:33 |
| MaNI | mm no, just a semi translucent white plastic | 17:34 |
| MaNI | relatively thin, I've got some thicker stuff as well but I never use it not good for most stuff | 17:35 |
| Kilos | thiiner is better | 17:35 |
| MaNI | the thickest one has some corrosive stuff on the outside so probably has to be thrown now anyway | 17:36 |
| Kilos | they make 2 types the acid core is for dirty copper and surfaces that need to be cleaned first | 17:37 |
| Kilos | resin core is for pc board work | 17:37 |
| MaNI | guessing the thin is resin core, and the corroded one is acide core | 17:37 |
| Kilos | i only know the red roles from national solder co. | 17:38 |
| Kilos | never tried other makes | 17:38 |
| MaNI | got a can of flux that I have no idea what to do with either - from my understanding its for the soldering iron equivalent of welding or something, not sure how long thats good for though as well so its probably no good | 17:38 |
| Kilos | lasts forever i think | 17:39 |
| Kilos | used when soldering tin surfaces | 17:39 |
| Kilos | what flux is it | 17:39 |
| Kilos | maybe for gas brazing | 17:40 |
| MaNI | http://www.retonthenet.co.uk/ekmps/shops/retonthenet/images/vintage-hardware-tin-frys-fry-s-flux-fluxite-soldering-paste-6oz-net-circa-1970s-full-3389-p.jpg | 17:41 |
| MaNI | looks like that I think | 17:41 |
| Kilos | you use that stuff if you dont have cored flux solder | 17:42 |
| Kilos | resin and acid cores are lead with built in flux in the core | 17:42 |
| MaNI | ahh | 17:42 |
| Kilos | you could buy lead sticks at a time | 17:43 |
| MaNI | okay so I'll just carry on not using that then :p | 17:43 |
| Kilos | for soldering gutters and so on | 17:43 |
| Kilos | yes | 17:43 |
| Kilos | some modern things like head phones and mics have some funny coating that you have to burn off with a lighter before you can solder it | 17:44 |
| MaNI | heh, I mostly just lengthen cables that are too short and replace broken capacitors :/ Got a few 'harder' projects I want to look at if some time frees up but its been years since I did anything more than that | 17:51 |
| Kilos | ah | 17:51 |
| MaNI | actually tries to repair a pair of headphones not long ago, but I wrecked the casing beyond repair trying to get it open so gave up on that one :p | 17:53 |
| Kilos | lol | 17:53 |
| MaNI | they don't make it easy to get into things :p | 17:56 |
| Kilos | nope all modern things clip together and you can break them before you find where they clip together | 17:57 |
| Kilos | big pain in my life | 17:57 |
| MaNI | they used to have all sorts of devious tricks on old things as well, but because it was metal you could usually figure it out without wrecking it :p | 17:58 |
| Kilos | lol | 17:58 |
| Kilos | most old things had screws at least | 17:59 |
| Kilos | or rivets you could drill out | 17:59 |
