inetprois there a command to convert a MAC address from one format to another?10:14
inetproeg: convert from 01:23:45:67:89:AB to 0123.4567.89ab10:14
inetprothe command I use at the moment is a bit long but works well10:16
inetproecho 01:23:45:67:89:AB | sed -e 's/://1;s/://2;s/://3;s/:/./g' | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]'10:16
Kilosi suppose you have used your friend but i found this http://linuxconfig.org/change-mac-address-with-macchanger-linux-command10:16
inetprohaha... I used my friend google but didn't find what I was looking for 10:18
Kilosyou always ask such difficult questions10:18
Kilosmust it be from mac  to mac or can it be from ip to mac10:19
Kiloshttp://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/120153/resolving-mac-address-from-ip-address-in-linux10:19
inetprojust mac to mac10:21
Kilosstickyboy  dont just lurk man10:22
inetpronetworking equipment uses three groups of four hexadecimal digits separated by dots10:22
inetproThe standard (IEEE 802) format for printing MAC-48 addresses in human-friendly form is six groups of two hexadecimal digits, separated by hyphens (-) or colons (:)10:23
Kilossjoe10:23
Kilosthe glue boy thinks because he was sick for a few days he can just lurk for a month10:24
KilosMaNI  gooi ideas 10:24
inetproanyway, there's no rush... just thought someone might have an answer to that10:25
stickyboyKilos: Sorry. :)10:27
stickyboyWould it be better if I leave? ;)10:27
mazalugh , that was fun10:27
Kilosnono man10:28
stickyboyI'm listening to the lovely http://rain.today/10:28
* mazal returned from finance meeting10:28
Kilosim teasing but thought you might know10:28
stickyboyAnd being very productive in iptables. :P10:28
Kilosi dont often get to help the pro so have to drag you clever guys into the fray10:29
MaNItheres probably some way to do it with xxd10:30
MaNIactually nevermind10:30
Kiloshmm...10:30
MaNIsed is probably best10:30
* MaNI shrugs10:30
stickyboysed probably best hehe10:31
MaNIthough at a glance he was changing the base not just moving colons around10:32
mazalhmm.....my pc hasen't done any updates this week. That's not normal11:34
Kiloslol11:34
mazalI just realized it's Thursday already and haven't seen updates11:34
mazalUsually it runs Tuesdays11:34
mazalWonder what broke now11:35
mazalSettings is still ok.......11:36
Kilosrun apt-get update and see11:38
Kilosthen apt-get upgrade will tell you what is missing11:39
mazalDid now , and no update notification ???11:39
mazalCan it be that there was no updates , impossible11:39
Kilosthen you up to date11:39
mazalupgrade finds 8 updates11:40
mazalSo my kde's update notifier is broken11:40
Kilosyou always said you were good at breaking things11:41
mazalIt wasn't me11:42
Kiloshahaha11:42
mazalThis time I'm innocent11:42
mazalDidn't do anything notifier related11:42
Kiloslook around for the culprit11:42
Kilosor look in a mirror to find him11:43
Kilosi havent been able to break 14.04 kde yet11:43
mazalThis is a bit of an annoyence as I will not know if there is updates unless I manually check11:43
mazalOom where do you check your auto-update settings on yours ?11:44
Kilosrun sudo touch /forcefsck and on reboot it will fix it for you11:44
Kilosi turn mine off so i can update when data allows11:44
mazalOk where do you check your repos then 11:45
Kiloscheck in what way11:45
mazalWhat repos you are using11:45
Kilosi use neology11:45
mazalThe auto-updates is in the same place11:45
mazalYa but what app do you open to check yours11:45
Kilosi use cli when i do update upgrade11:46
mazalNot to update , to check what repo you are using11:46
Kilosbut i use aptitude11:46
Kilosoh i do that in synaptic11:47
Kilosi prefer synaptic to update manager11:47
mazalDo you maybe know what is KDE's default app for that ?11:47
Kilosupdate manager11:49
mazalThat 'Muon' one ?11:49
Kilosya11:49
mazalI want to check something that doesn't look right in synaptic11:50
mazalThe option for show normal update sis completely grayed out and I can't enable it11:50
mazalSo want to check if it is the same in default update manager11:50
Kilostell it reload11:52
mazalSee there it happened again now that upgrade did not update the kernels11:53
Kilosit only lights up if there are updates11:53
mazalDid upgrade now , but the kernel updates isn't done11:53
mazalsudo apt-get upgrade never updates my kernels11:53
Kilosin synaptic you tick upgrade or something and it does them all for you11:54
Kilosaptitude does kernels11:54
Kilosapt-get leaves them for muon to do11:54
mazalBut got sidetracked now. There was 8 updates and kernels updates , yet system notification showed nothing ?11:55
mazalSomething is up with my notifier11:55
mazalBye for now all12:32

KilosAkiva  ping18:48
Kilosnight all. sleep tight19:48
kulelu88who here builds compilers?20:00
inetprohi kulelu8820:01
inetprowhat are you looking for in more details?20:02
kulelu88I am trying to understand more about LLVM 20:02
inetprohmm...20:04
inetprocan't say I've seen anyone here even talking about it20:08
kulelu88LLVM is fascinating20:08
inetprolooks interesting20:09
MaNII only use them not build them :p20:09
inetprokulelu88: you are talking about http://llvm.org/ ?20:10
kulelu88yep, same 120:12
inetprosome readings for another day... time to go sleep20:15
inetprogood night20:15
kulelu88MaNI: who is your ISP?20:17
MaNIafrihost20:17
kulelu88have you noticed quality of their service go down? I'm with axxess and things have gotten shit with them lately20:18
MaNIit does feel like it20:19
MaNIthough recently we complained and they moved out account or something20:19
MaNI"Please test out the new network we are moving to and let us know if you still experience any issues on this network." - for whatever thats worth20:20
MaNIsubjectively since the MTN merger they have been worse though 20:20
kulelu88I noticed that my speeds fluctuate and even though my usage has remained constant, their quality has gone down gradually20:20
kulelu88yeah I'm thinking MTNs shit network is the issue20:21
kulelu88it's congested, possibly20:21
MaNIor MTN are just more stingy20:22
MaNIwe had similar problems with mweb before we switched to afrihost, just lots of throttling and whatnot20:24
kulelu88there are no other alternatives20:24
kulelu88each of the other companies sound just as shit as mweb20:24
MaNInot sure where to head next20:25
kulelu88well whoever owned afrihost and axxess has sold their shares and probably moved to London, cause that's where they will get real broadband20:25
kulelu88Crystal Web? I'm tempted by them20:26
MaNIits somewhat depressing that my cloudatcost server that cost me a once off fee of a few hundred rand, has more bandwidth than I will ever see here, sort of puts it in perspective20:27
MaNIshould have bought in a complex rather then I could have fiber20:28
kulelu88cloudatcost? I must check this out20:29
MaNIlow budget hosting20:30
MaNIwouldn't recommend them for anything serious, but as a basic internet machine to play around with its okay20:30
kulelu88aah I know this. I've seen it before21:06
kulelu88yeah they're definitely using Xen or some other terrible option for resource-sharing 21:08
MaNIthe network is the only thing that remotely matches whats promised, but anyway :p21:17
kulelu88what are the real specs you get? MaNI 21:21
MaNIthe main problem is the disk IO21:22
kulelu88it says SSD, I'm guessing it should be quick21:24
MaNIdisk IO crawls - like  Timing cached reads:   1260 MB in  2.00 seconds = 630.16 MB/sec21:24
MaNI Timing buffered disk reads:   6 MB in  6.72 seconds = 914.69 kB/sec21:24
MaNI;)21:24
MaNII actually put in a complaint recently will see what comes of it21:24
kulelu88I don't mind buying it if it is a lifetime for $3521:25
Private_Userhmm...21:25
Private_Userevening people21:25
kulelu88I could use it for random shit21:25
kulelu88random scripts21:25
kulelu88random testing21:25
Private_UserMaNI: just checked the site you spoke about cloudatcost.com and found this site http://www.cloudatacost.com/mystory where some person setup a sit complaining about them21:26
Private_User*site21:26
Private_Userwhats been your experience?21:26
Private_Userkulelu88: I have read you also been experiencing connectivity issues with your ISP?21:34
Private_UserI wondering if its an issue with all cause as of late my connectivity has been very unstable more especially during the day yet previously I have had no real issues21:35
MaNIcomplain and see if they also move you to a special 'test' network21:37
Private_Userlol21:38
kulelu88yeah my connection is not that great anymore.21:38
kulelu88Axxess have been doing a network migration for over a month now. I'm guessing they're importing the metal from China via our mines and building their own equipment21:39
Private_Userlast time I complained they said there was an outage went on for more than a week then when the outage was according to them resolved, still I had an issue but to me it seemed like they were throttling me and when I queried if they were the person on the other end is like no if we were you would have no access which told me that the person who is supposedly a support person did not understand the meaning of being throttled th21:42
Private_Usernow the same issue is occurring although there was a message I received a while back stating they upgrading their network21:44
Private_Usernot sure if that is the issue or its just too many people have now joined21:44
Private_Usercause after 00:00 it seems to be fine21:44
Private_Userwell so far touch wood ;)21:45
Private_Userhehe21:45
kulelu88I think I am being permanently throttled on IRC though. Barely getting up to 25kbs now21:45
kulelu88cost-cutting probably. 21:45
kulelu88shit not IRC21:45
kulelu88P2P21:45
kulelu8822 days remaining for my download 21:46
Private_Userdo you have uncapped kulelu88 ?21:46
kulelu88joy21:46
kulelu88yep21:46
Private_UserI think they are throttling you21:46
Private_Userprobably related to this FUP aka Fair Usage Policy21:47
kulelu88it goes hand in hand with their new T&C that was implemented on 1 July21:47
kulelu88yep that's it21:47
Private_Userthat sucks I think21:47
kulelu88fek, I don't ever go over a certain limit21:47
kulelu88but its fine. I'll find another provider by September21:47
Private_Userwhy even offer uncapped if its not completely uncapped21:47
Private_UserI want a service provider that is uncapped and unshaped21:48
kulelu88on the 1 end, parkhurst gets fibre, while the rest of us are getting shafted for every penny21:48
Private_Userotherwise if its shaped then no point in uncapped I think21:48
Private_Useryeah I agree kulelu88 we all getting the raw end of the deal21:49
Private_Userhehe21:49
kulelu88oh well, there is Australia21:49
kulelu88:'D21:49
Private_UserLOL21:49
kulelu88probably not for me, krikey mate. gday mate21:50
Private_Useranybody here know how to combine multiple ISPs connectivity into one connection so one can get like a superfast connection?21:50
Private_Userif maybe we can take the cheapest of all the uncapped broadband subscribe to them then use some sort of setup whereby we can combine them and it would be like one huge connection?21:51
Private_Userjust wondering if anybody here is doing that?21:52
kulelu88it's not possible Private_User . You are limited to what the copper can push through21:52
kulelu88the exchange is another limiting point21:53
kulelu88I guess buying a house in cape town or parkhurst is the only option21:53
Private_Useryeah but what if I had like a 10Mbs line but subscribe to many ISP offering 512Kbs speed and combine them to get a 10Mbs connection21:53
Private_Userthen the cost might be cheaper then just subscribing to one provider for 10Mbs connection21:54
Private_Userjust a thought21:54
kulelu88I don't think it would be cheaper. that is 20 connections you'd need21:56
Private_UserI wonder how hackers do it like in the movies you see them have one huge satellite at their house and have super quick speeds hacking away, wonder if there is a way for one to get access like that or if its even legally possible or does one need to be a hacker hacking and piggy backing of somebody else satellite21:58
Private_Userhmm... maybe I watch too many movies21:59
Private_UserLOL21:59
kulelu88if you're a hacker, you almost never want to be hacking on the same line that your mom paid for with her credit card in your basement22:00
kulelu88you start simple by using the neighbours wifi for torrents22:01
Private_Userlol22:01
Private_UserI wish I was sometimes22:01
kulelu88how old are you?22:01
Private_Userold enough... hehe22:02
Private_Userwhy do you ask?22:02
kulelu88you seem like a young guy (or girl, if those exist)22:03
Private_UserI am young well depends on your definition of young22:04
Private_Userhehe22:04
kulelu88are you over 18?22:05
Private_Userlol22:05
kulelu88aah not yet22:06
Private_Userdo I sound like a kid?22:06
kulelu88yeah22:06
kulelu88sort of22:06
Private_Userlol22:06
Private_Usernice22:06
Private_UserI am young at heart22:06
Private_Userhehe22:06
kulelu88maybe you're a gurrllll22:06
Private_Usernope not a gurrlll22:06
kulelu88people on IRC are considered to be deprived of female affection22:07
Private_Userso do not get any ideas22:07
Private_Userlol22:07
Private_Userkulelu88: so I am guessing you speaking from experience22:07
Private_Userhahaha22:07
kulelu88yes yes, of course I am. 22:08
Private_UserLOL22:08
kulelu88if you're under 18, you must be literally "LOL"ing22:08
Private_UserLOL22:08
Private_Usernope dude I am not under 1822:08
kulelu88as a wise old man once told/asked me (I can't recall), has your balls touched your brief yet? 22:09
Private_Userquestion is how old are you dude?22:10
kulelu88yeah I'm being shaped for sure. 7 peers and 5kbs speed22:10
Private_Usereish22:10
kulelu88I could be 52 or 12, you need to decide22:10
Private_Userand its after 00:00 I would have thought that after 00:00 they would not be throttling22:11
Private_Userthats what most ISP advertise that between 00:00 and 06:00 they do not22:11
kulelu88the twats probably forgot to unswitch the switch22:11
Private_Userlol22:11
kulelu88they know that most people don't use P2P, but they don't realize that mass downloading can still be done via HTTP22:12
Private_Userbut to be honest downloading is why people want uncapped22:13
Private_Userso I do not understand why offer it if you gonna shape it22:13
kulelu88not so much. Most folks are happy with their youtube these days22:13
kulelu88where do you live? Private_User 22:14
Private_UserKZN22:14
kulelu88lucky guy22:14
Private_Useryou?22:15
kulelu88GP22:15
Private_Userah ok then you are luckier cause many areas there actually have fibre and LTE where I am on a farm no LTE or Fibre, hek telkom do not wanna even install a line here cause of cable theft22:16
kulelu88do you live 5 minutes from a decent surf?22:17
Private_Useryep22:20
kulelu88fek the internet then man. 22:20
Private_Userlol22:20
kulelu88that's life right there22:20
kulelu88you afrikaaner?22:21
Private_UserI agree hence my reason for living here many have told me to move back to GP but I ask myself why would I wanna do that if I have a choice22:21
kulelu88which dorpie you in? I'm guessing Ballito or some small surf-town22:25
