Kiosai116:36
Kiosai!as well16:36
Kilos-hmm...16:52
Kilos-inetpro, is your away thing broken?16:52
Kilos-ai!16:54
Kilos- cloaks missing16:54
Kilosohi superfly 16:58
superflyThe shed is being loaded17:01
* superfly wonders if Kilos is thinking 17:04
Kiloslol17:05
Kilosthinking how i used to setup hexchat ya17:05
superflyI never got a comment about my comment, so I was wondering if you were confused 17:05
Kiloshaving a system work for a year lets you forget what you used to do every now and again17:06
Kiloslol17:06
Kilosi have 14.04 unity flavour running on T410 alongside win 7 and 14.04 kde17:08
Kilosnice and fast little lappy17:09
Kilosbetter with usb mouse though17:09
Kilosi need some advice please, they say skype to skype calls are free17:57
Kiloswhat does it do to your 3g data bundle17:57
Kilosand if it uses your data is that on incoming as well as outgoing calls17:58
grembleYes17:58
grembleOn both17:58
grembleSince they require data transfer17:58
grembleSo anything that sends/receives packets costs money/data17:59
Kilosso all these other things like viber and fring are the same17:59
grembleYup17:59
Kilosso where does the free bit come in17:59
grembleNothing is "free". You may not pay for the service, but you still have to pay your ISP for their service17:59
Kilossjoe18:00
Kilosbut18:00
Kilos next 18:00
grembleIt is like the mechanic doesn't charge you for fixing your car, but you still have to pay for the petrol to drive there18:00
Kilosit will be cheaper than using airtime right18:00
grembleThat I don't know. I think so18:00
Kilosthe voip thing18:00
SquirmKilos: I looked at it... Let me find the site18:01
Kilosty Squirm 18:01
grembleVodafone did try and make VoIP something like R15/MB, but I don't know whether they succeeded18:01
Kilossjoe18:01
Squirm40Mb-50Mb per hour18:01
KilosR15 a meg18:01
Kilosoh thats not too bad18:01
Squirmso * that by per Mb cost18:02
Kilosoi18:02
SquirmBut if you have a good connection, Skype ups the quality18:02
Squirmso it's an estimate18:02
SquirmKilos: How much do you pay for data?18:02
KilosR199 for 3g18:02
SquirmR0.06 per Mb18:03
Kilosi foned the other day and used R50 in less than an hour18:03
SquirmMaaz: 0.06*6018:03

CryterionEvening Everyone18:25
SquirmKilos: looks like Skype might be better18:28
SquirmSkype to Skype though18:28
SquirmSkype to landline will cost the same as a local landline call+data charge18:28
SquirmR2pm though18:29
Cryterionanyone know the new telkom huawei routers?18:30
grembleHey Cryterion 18:31
CryterionHiya gremble18:31
grembleWe had one. I don't know if it was a "new" one, but fairly nice none the less18:31
grembleOnly issue I had was connecting to it with netctl. But I suspect that is because netctl is shitty18:31
CryterionPrefer their old one, you have decent port forwarding options, on this new one you can only do it via NAT, which isn't working18:32
Kilosty Squirm 18:33
Cryterionif I put my inet ip into address, I get the gateway login screen, not the forward to web server, grrrr18:34
CryterionHiya Squirm and Kilos18:34
Kiloshi Cryterion 18:35
SquirmHey Cryterion18:38
SquirmI don't know you do I?18:38
SquirmWell, do you recognise my nick?18:38
CryterionYes, you been here awhile, as I have, we probably haven't formally met yet18:39
SquirmHmmm.. No.. I knew that nick from another server a few years back18:40
CryterionFew years could be many years for me, been along time since I've used irc everyday since the late 90's until a few months ago again18:41
SquirmNo...18:41
SquirmBut now I see your real name is different18:41
SquirmNever mind18:41
SquirmI knew a Cryterion fron Centurion is about 2007ish18:43
SquirmInterested in where the nickname came from then?18:44
Cryterionhmmm, wasn't me then18:44
SquirmNope18:45
CryterionI started using this nick about 25 years ago as a screen name, have since, and was prob mainly cause it was just different18:46
Cryterionused cryterion instead of criterion18:47
inetprogood evening19:03
grembleemacs is amazing *-*19:04
grembleHey inetpro 19:04
Kiloshi inetpro 19:04
inetprovim ftw!19:04
inetprohttp://mrozekma.com/editor-learning-curve.png19:09
Squirmgremble: It's hard to learn :/19:09
SquirmAs that link suggests, actually19:10
inetproSquirm: maybe a bit hard to begin with but very quick to learn19:11
SquirmI've stuck with Atom for now19:11
SquirmEditing bash, python and YAML files19:11
Squirmso I should be ok19:12
* inetpro tried emacs several times19:12
SquirmA few of our devs use it19:13
* Cryterion doesn't see nano in that graph :(19:13
inetproI just keep going back to vim/vi because it's the one thing you'll find on just about every *nix environment19:13
MaNInano!19:14
grembleMaNI: Nano and emacs have similar commands19:16
grembleAlso, I am learning lisp as well. This makes emacs less terrible :P19:16
Squirminetpro: I use vim when I edit on a remote server. But we use ansible and config management, so it's often just wit my editor on my local machine19:16
Squirmso between vim and atom, I do everything19:17
grembleI like vim a lot, but so far I am having more fun and being more productive in emacs. I just need to get the movement keys down. They're still weird. I am thinking about trying evil19:17
* inetpro should learn to do ansible19:17
SquirmYeah19:17
SquirmIt's where the YAML comes in19:18
Cryterionyeah MaNI, I use nano for basics19:20
MaNII don't trust any program where ctrl+c doesn't exit19:21
Kiloslol19:21
MaNIor ctrl+x19:21
MaNI:p19:21
Kilosi like nano19:21
Kilosall i can use19:22
inetproMaNI: uh, you also one of those who press the reset button to exit vim?19:24
Kiloshehe19:24
MaNIhaha, nah I know how to use vim19:25
MaNII just find it annoying when people redefine such fundamental basic operating rules19:25
MaNIcertain things should be obeyed :p19:25
* inetpro prefers to make double sure about changes in any file19:27
inetprotoo easy to make mistakes with a basic editor like nano without noticing it19:28
grembleIf you want a random string you have a noob try and exit ed19:30
inetproconfig management is definitely the better way to do it19:30
inetprohaha, I used to enjoy ed and ex at some point19:31
SquirmNever heard of it19:35
SquirmKilos: it took a while. But vim is better than nano19:35
Kilosfor those that can learn it yeah19:35
Kilosfor the few things i need to chnge nano works great19:36
SquirmKilos: 19:36
Squirmhttp://hdwallpapers.cat/wallpaper/linux_cheat_sheet_wallpaper_nmap_vim_ssh_hd-wallpaper-619059.jpg19:36
Kiloschange19:36
Squirmcheck the vim section19:36
Cryterionctrl+x doesn't work on vim ctrl+\ does, but nano is easy19:37
SquirmThe only thing that it doesn't mention, is use esc to change modes19:37
SquirmKilos: Also, sometimes helps setting an image like that as your wallpaper :)19:37
Kiloslol19:38
SquirmSeriously19:38
Kilosno man i dont need to learn more stuffs19:38
Kilosyes it will help having it as a wall paper i agree19:38
Kilosif i fiddled in files lots i would try it 19:39
Cryteriondef gonna put it up as well19:39
inetprosudo apt-get install vim-runtime && vimtutor19:39
Kilosi only ever change 2 files19:39
SquirmKilos: vimtutor!19:39
Squirmvimtutor is great!19:39
Kilosand one for sound19:39
SquirmCryterion: when you're learning, it's fantastic19:39
* Cryterion goes to look19:39
Kilosnono i tried vim tutor19:39
SquirmEven just to recall19:39
CryterionYeah, learnt today you can't rename files19:40
Squirmtbh - I've never used it :D19:40
Cryterionbut you move them to the new filename19:40
SquirmWell. Used commands once or twice, but never set it as my bg19:40
SquirmCryterion: indeed19:40
SquirmSam thing19:40
grembleTechnically that is what a move is on linux19:40
grembleYou don't change the location of the file19:41
Cryterionyip, just the terminology is different19:41
grembleJust its name in the directory structure19:41
SquirmYep19:41
SquirmCryterion: then have a look at the difference between a symlink and a hardlink19:41
grembleTea and toast with syrup. Now I am ready for the day19:42
SquirmNice19:42
Kilossyruo is lekker19:42
SquirmWait... gremble... The day?19:42
Kilostate and lyles is the best19:42
Kilosbut expensive19:42
grembleI don't have to get up at 5 tomorrow. That means I still have a couple of hours of work that I get to do19:42
SquirmCryterion: I could probably list my few most used commands19:44
SquirmWel.. my favourite19:44
gremblels19:44
gremble:P19:44
Squirmless +F19:44
Squirmssh -L19:44
Squirmdig19:44
Squirmps19:44
Squirmkillall19:44
Squirmwell, ps aux19:45
Squirmand killall processID19:45
Squirmno wait, killall processBIN19:45
Squirm:P19:45
Squirmand du -h and df -h19:45
grembleps aux is like htop for masochistic people19:45
Squirmgremble: I always use it with grep though19:45
Squirmand I use htop and top to check the box19:46
Squirmoh and tar zxf and tar zcf19:46
grembleOne day I will learn grep xD19:46
Squirmzxf to extract and zcf to create19:46
Squirmgremble: the nice thing, is you can grep for words19:47
gremblePerhaps when we are doing Regular expressions in discrete structures19:47
Squirmps aux | grep apache19:47
Squirmps aux | grep nginx19:47
Squirmps aux | grep java19:47
Squirmetc19:47
grembleYup. Just tried that with emacs19:47
SquirmWith that cheat sheet I pasted. The only commands I don't use, are Netcat and Nmap(used some of Nmap)19:49
SquirmOtherwise, I use the others almost weekly19:49
Kilosnight all sleep tight19:50
inetprogood night oom Kilos19:50
superflySquirm: when you're extracting with tar you don't need to specify the type. It will automatically detect from the file name 19:50
Squirmsuperfly: that's interesting19:51
SquirmThanks19:51
* superfly is also old-school and still uses -xf19:51
Squirm:P19:52
SquirmI'd probably still carry on doing it19:52
SquirmBut it's good to know19:52
Squirmevery now and again I use gunzip19:52
SquirmBut it's not often19:52
inetproSquirm: with egrep you can grep for multiple patterns at once 19:52
inetproeg: ps aux | egrep "apache|nginx|java"19:52
superflyAnd I recently started using vim properly. Use the right plugins and vim is AMAZING19:53
Squirmsuperfly: vim has plugins?19:53
SquirmI;ve never looked19:53
SquirmI've*19:53
superflyYebo19:53
grembleThat is what is exciting about NeoVim19:53
grembleBetter plugin system19:53
superflyLook up oh-my-vim19:53
grembleEven async19:53
Squirmsuperfly: will do19:53
superflyAnd while you're at it, install zsh and oh-my-zsh19:53
gremble^19:54
Squirmsuperfly: I have...19:54
grembleI second that :P19:54
Squirmzsh something19:54
superflyAnd stop using bash 19:54
Squirmzprezto19:54
SquirmMeant to be a little quicker19:54
superflySquirm: not talking directly to you, more just to the channel on general 19:54
superfly*im19:54
Squirm:P19:54
Squirmkk19:54
superfly*in19:54
SquirmBut yes, zsh is good19:55
SquirmNot sure who uses a Mac here, but I've been using a iTerm for a while. But then I found TotalTerminal :D There is a linux version nuvolari recommended to me19:56
superflyThe oh-my-vim install script doesn't work correctly at the moment, thanks to the version of virtualenv it downloads, but come ask me and I'll get you up and running 19:56
SquirmBut alas, osx19:56
grembleCan't you get unix stuff running on osx through brew, or does it have to be prebuilt and specially packaged?19:57
gremble(I have no idea how those things work)19:57
Squirmgremble: It depends. Not everything is on brew19:58
grembleAh19:58
superflygremble: there's homebrew and MacPorts because of that. 19:58
SquirmMore of the common sourceforge packages are19:58
SquirmNot everything though :19:58
Squirm:/19:58
SquirmBut it's pretty good19:58
Squirmand as simple as apt-get19:59
superflyYa19:59
grembleOr pacman -S19:59
SquirmHaven't had to use MacPorts uet19:59
gremble:P19:59
Squirmyet*19:59
SquirmAs simple as a linux package manager*19:59
gremblexD19:59
superflyI've used MacPorts, and it's slightly more like Portage19:59
MaNImy experience20:00
Squirmgremble: pick a linux application you'd like on brew?(not sure if you have a mac)20:00
MaNImacports/brew etc. are okay but expect lots of things to not work or only half work20:00
grembleI don't have a mac20:00
grembleI have a really old compaq20:00
gremble:P20:00
MaNIits not well maintained like portage or any other proper linux distro20:00
Squirmgremble: then pick something?20:00
superflyFor some of the stuff I needed to recompile it, so now everything I install using MacPorts is compiled 20:00
grembleUhm. urxvt-256color20:01
gremblerxvt*20:01
Squirmlol20:01
SquirmWell that's not there :D20:01
grembleThat is a shame20:01
grembleThat is one of the best terminal emulators20:02
gremble:P20:02
Squirmgremble: Just found this: http://braumeister.org/20:02
SquirmBut if it's there, it's easy to install20:03
SquirmWell. I should have been in bed a while ago, but it's been interesting20:04
SquirmCheers all20:04
* Squirm makes his hot water bottle20:04
SquirmCT is still coldish :/20:04
SquirmEven after the sun today20:05
grembleIt is freezing in PTA20:05
grembleCheers Squirm 20:05
gremble9.8degC atm20:05
MaNItakes more than 2 days of sun to get rid of the damp ground20:06
MaNIhope these aren't the only 2 days of sun we have in the next few weeks, I may have missed my only chance to install my solar panels :/20:06
CryterionMaNi sunny next 3 days in dbn20:08
MaNImon/tue apparently still sunny here in CT20:09
MaNIbut we will see20:09
grembleMan up and do it in the rain20:10
gremble:P20:10
MaNIdon't know how long it will take the aluminium people to fix their mistake - they delived steel to me on friday instead of aluminium, dissapointing stuff :p20:10
MaNIheh I'm not scared of rain, but I'm scared of my roof even when its sunny its quite slippery 20:10
grembleYou don't need your legs to use a computer, just make sure you land correctly20:11
Cryterionuse rope, tie properly so you don't end up hanging yourself20:11
MaNIhehe20:11
gremble"This safery harnass is tied securely to my neck and testicles. Now I will be to scared to fall."20:11
MaNIknowing my luck I'll trip on the rope20:11
grembleOh superfly, did you see the link that I posted for you? :P20:12
MaNIstill can't believe they delivered the wrong metal20:12
Cryterionsend it back rusted :)20:13
MaNII keep trying to convince myself that I'm mistaken, and that aluminium which rusts red and attracts magnets does exist, but I just can't do it :p20:13
CryterionI ordered MS once, then got told to collect it from a SS only supplier!, realised the f-up then and wouldn't collect20:15
MaNII guess I should have noticed when they were offloading, but it was raining hard and lots of other chaos was going on 20:16
grembleDo they have to come pick it up again?20:17
MaNIyeah20:17
MaNIwell they aren't open on weekends20:18
MaNIso fighting that out is tomorrow mornings fun20:18
CryterionDid the quote say Alu?20:19
MaNIyes20:19
CryterionInvoice?20:19
MaNIalso, I think the delivery boys just loaded the wrong thing, they are a steel place so they're probably not used to obscure orders20:20
Cryterionso shouldn't be hard to argue20:21
Cryterionyou just presenting the f-up20:21
MaNIyeah20:21
MaNII imagine it should be okay, though never know for sure, people can be weird 20:21
Cryteriontrue20:22
Cryterionwhat steel co did you order from, I normally get alu through hulamin20:23
MaNIcrawford steel (aspect)20:23
Cryterionhmm, don't know them20:23
MaNIcouldn't find any helpful aluminium places in the area, I don't order metal often20:24
superflygremble: I did, just haven't had the opportunity to download it 20:24
superflygremble: thanks 20:25
MaNIhalumin, will remember for next time :p20:25
MaNI*hulamin20:25
Cryterionok, well hope all goes well tomorrow, try "kmg" next time, as they're the now the country wide Alu distributor20:26
Cryterionhulamin/stalcor are now kmg, kulungile metals group20:26
superflyMaNI: once it's all up and running, I might have to come and visit you. 20:28
MaNIhehe20:29
MaNII'll create a guide book or something20:30
Cryterionanyway, goodnight everyone20:31
MaNICryterion, I don't suppose you've ever encountered something equivalent to http://www.we-llc.com/products/weeb-washer20:31
MaNIoh you're off, nevermind then :p20:31
Cryterionbest bet kmg, or get them laser-cut and bent20:33
Cryterionit's part of the alu products, so kmg would be best off shelf20:34
MaNIhehe, okay thanks, goodnight ;)20:35
