zeorinmagespawn: you're interesting in CoderDojo?09:37
Maazzeorin: By the way, magespawn on freenode told me "tell zeorin i will be in jhb soon, maybe that coderdojo can get off the ground" 21 days, 2 hours, 23 minutes and 9 seconds ago09:37
zeorinMaaz: thanks, just saw that09:38
Maazzeorin: no problemo09:38
zeorinGot ZNC set up...09:38
inetpro'shout-irc' is a horrible combination of words to search for 09:38
zeorinWas down with the 'flu for a full 7 days...09:38
Kilossjoe09:38
TinuvaMaci got the flu shot this year when discovery did it with uber09:39
TinuvaMachavent been sick yet this year09:39
zeorinIt was no joke. Makes you appreciate just feeling normal.09:39
TinuvaMacbelieve that, i hate being sick09:40
TinuvaMacso have started to do a few things to try and help prevent getting sick this year09:40
TinuvaMac1) immune system booster with probiotics09:40
TinuvaMac2) flu shot09:40
TinuvaMacwill see if it works09:41
Kilosprobiotics are good09:41
zeorinI work from home, so it's usually not much of an issue. I didn't hold much truck with 'flu shots in the past, but since medicine has essentially been creating "superbugs" over time with strong antibiotics and vaccines, perhaps I can't get away from it anymore.09:41
Kiloseat lots of raw onion on sarmies etc and in salads and take regular vitc and you wont get flu09:43
bushtechor eat lots of garlic. None of the flu spreading people will get near you09:47
superflyTinuvaMac: Last year the Flu shot had a 15% effectiveness. Just an FYI09:48
superflyTinuvaMac: also, a little known fact about the flu shot is that it's made based on what the pharmaceuticals guess will be the predominent strain of flu09:49
zeorinDoes anyone have any experience with the Asterisk PBX software?09:49
superflymagespawn: ^^ weren't you playing with Asterisk?09:49
zeorinI'm trying to help a small non-profit move away from Telkom for their phone solution09:49
superflyzeorin: where are they based?09:50
zeorinI've got lots of Linux experience, but telephony is a bit new to me09:50
zeorinThey're based in Alberton09:50
Kilosbushtech well said09:50
Kilosgarlic is a natural antibiotic09:50
Kilosand parsley stops you smelling09:50
superfly<Kilos> self hosted is here on pc?09:51
superflyIt means you run it yourself on your own server.09:51
Kilossuperfly i mean self hosted means i will have it here on my pc 09:51
superflyKilos: yes, or your server, or wherever. It means you do it yourself.09:52
Kilosty09:52
grembleGood morning09:55
superflyOnly just09:55
grembleI am trying to wish time to a standstill. I am ill and really don't want to drive in to campus at 13:0010:01
theblazehengremble: I know how that feels.. :/10:07
Kiloseish gremble 10:11
magespawnsuperfly yes10:14
magespawnzeorin: what is the problem?10:15
TinuvaMacsuperfly: yeah i did read up a lot on the flu shot. It still seemed better to do, than not doing it10:16
superflyTinuvaMac: uh, right.10:18
superflyTinuvaMac: did you read the package insert? Who made the flu shot you got?10:19
magespawnnever had one of those 10:19
TinuvaMacsuperfly: i have not, but I am sure you going to give me more interesting tidbits about it10:20
superflyTinuvaMac: nope, I just wanted to know so that I could find out what's in it.10:21
TinuvaMaci feel pretty good, and thats after a bunch of people here at work was already sick at work10:21
TinuvaMacit would be whatever dischem used this year in april10:21
magespawnzeorin: i am also interested in coderdojo, i will be up there on the 23rd first day on the new job is the 24th10:21
magespawnso after a little while to settle in 10:21
superflyTinuvaMac: Apparently Dischem uses Vaxigrip: http://www.medsafe.govt.nz/consumers/cmi/v/vaxigrip.pdf10:35
magespawnzeorin: i would recommend either of these https://www.freepbx.org/ or http://www.asterisk.org/downloads the AsteriskNOW at the bottom of the page10:48
magespawnThey are essentially the same thing, all built on asterisk, but with a web based gui interface10:49
grembleAlright. I am off. See everyone later.10:57
Kilosgof luck lad10:58
Kilosgood10:58
Kilosstay awake10:58
TinuvaMacsuperfly: thank you for that link10:59
TinuvaMacluckily i only had the sore muscles, none of the worse side effects11:00
superflyhttp://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/03/17/no_slack_for_open_sourcers/11:08
superflyinetpro, Kilos ^^11:08
zeorinmagespawn: Sorry, my power was out for a while… I'm planning to use AsteriskNOW. My real question is around the hardware requirements. I've already asked around on the #asterisk channel about whether what I need can be done with Asterisk (apparently it's dead simple). It's a sequential call forwarding thing I need: if someone calls the NPO, then forward to number 1, if that person doesn't answer, 11:25
zeorinforward to number 2, etc. until someone either picks up or we run out of numbers to try (In which case take a message).11:25
zeorinSince this is a small NPO, the computer we want to use for this is actually the archives computer. Which runs Windows. So I'll have to virtualize AsteriskNOW. They've already got a phone line, I imagine we'll need one more so the system can call out.11:26
zeorinDuring office hours there should be no call forwarding and instead the call should go through to the receptionist.11:27
zeorinI don't know what specific hardware I'm gonna need. How powerful of a processor, how much RAM, which PSTN card (I imagine I'll need 2 FXO ports and one FXS port).11:28
zeorinI also imagine that a regular Telkom phone line is an analogue line?11:32
superflyyes11:37
superflyzeorin: it may be easier and cheaper to look into a hosted solution11:38
superflywe use these guys for our work phone system: http://africanaxess.co.za/11:42
magespawnthe fxo/fxs cards for the computer can be expensive, espcially the digium cards, miro has the equipment here in sa11:42
magespawni have also used granstream equipment, i will get the model for you in a sec11:43

who_da_flyjust running it locally11:51
Kiloshaha11:51
Kiloswhats with all the reading about slack superfly 11:51
Kilosirc works for us11:51
who_da_flyKilos yes, I know, but we were playing with Mattermost11:52
Kilosoh yes11:52
Kilosid forgotten that11:52
who_da_flyKilos and that article is basically saying the same thing as me: don't use Slack for OSS.11:52
who_da_fly(and don't use Github for the same reason - it's ultimately controlled by a company)11:52
zeorinMattermost is better anyway11:52
zeorinIt's ahead of Slack in features11:53
zeorinJust like GitLab is ahead of Github in features.11:53
inetprowho_da_fly: I will chat later11:53
who_da_flyzeorin: exactly :-)11:54
who_da_flylet me see if I can set up a different theme12:05
Kilossuperfly whats with the npm12:10
Kilossudo npm install -g shout12:10
superflyKilos: don't do it12:10
Kilosdo we use apt there or what12:10
superflyKilos: no, just don't do it.12:10
Kilosok12:10
Kilosi did and it said command not found12:11
superflyYes, it's better that way. Trust me on this.12:11
Kilosok ty12:11
Kiloslol is it spyware or something12:12
superflyNo, it's a developer tool, and the way everyone uses npm is BAD12:12
Kilosok12:12
Kilosill stick with what i know how to use12:13
who_da_flymmm12:13
who_da_flythat's much better12:13
zeorinnpm is a package manager for node scripts12:13
zeorinNode-land still has a lot of maturing to do12:14
zeorinSource: I'm a web developer12:14
who_da_flyzeorin: and that's fine. as long as you (a) know how to use it properly and (b) don't listen to anyone in npm-land12:14
who_da_fly"npm install -g" is just made of pain12:15
zeorinI use it a lot, but I wouldn't think it appropriate for general software installation. For managing a web project's javascript dependencies, it's far more appropriate (although you need to be descerning about what you're depending upon).12:16
who_da_flythis ^^^12:16
zeorinI'll `sudo npm install -g` things like cordova, babel, etc. Things that actually have to do with web development.12:16
XethronGreetings!12:16
who_da_flyzeorin: don't do that if you're on Linux, you're just waiting for a disaster.12:17
who_da_flyhi Xethron!12:17
zeorinwho_da_fly: it's been alright so far. What linux-specific problems have you encountered?12:17
XethronUncapped fiber internet, superfast, superfly :D12:17
zeorinVumatel was just here 10 minutes ago installing a box in our apartment block12:18
who_da_flyzeorin: your package management system doesn't know about it. when you upgrade stuff WILL break.12:18
Kilosspoiled Xethron 12:18
who_da_flyXethron: nice!12:18
zeorinXethron, we'll be joining you soon12:18
zeorinwho_da_fly: I see what you mean. But as long as I keep it to web development-only stuff it's not an issue.12:19
XethronWas actually just mocking superfly :P But it just arrived at my neighbourhood, so looking who to signup with12:19
zeorinpip, easy_install, composer, rubygems, pecl all have that same problem12:20
zeorinYet if you don't install general software with them it's fine.12:20
who_da_flyzeorin: I install things locally. If I want to use a NodeJS based application, I make a directory for it, and "npm install <package>" in that directory.12:20
XethronCoz I only have 4mb adsl :( So, time to get something thats a bit faster12:20
who_da_flyzeorin: exactly, that's why you use virtualenv12:20
zeorinNode has nvm12:21
zeorinsame thing12:21
Xethroncomposer > npm12:21
who_da_flyI steer clear of Ruby and PHP.12:21
Xethron:O12:21
XethronWhat do you have against PHP?12:21
who_da_flyXethron: How long do you want me to rant for? days or weeks?12:21
Xethronrofl12:21
Kiloshaha12:22
zeorinI was at the JHB PHP conference when Rasmus Lerdorf was there12:22
Kilosthats my fly12:22
magespawnzeorin i can't remember what the required specs are, but i ran into problems with a virtual machine inside windows running linux12:22
XethronEvery language has its pro's and cons. 12:22
Xethronzeorin: Oohh, I spoke briefly at that conference12:22
zeorinI had an interesting discussion with him about the 'flaws' of PHP12:22
who_da_flyXethron: Just a pity PHP's pros is 1 item: leaving PHP12:23
magespawnthe machine only had 2 gig of ram, one for the host and the other for the virtual machine12:23
zeorinPHP is considered to have an inconsistent API with function parameters, etc.12:23
zeorinIt's actually not inconsistent12:23
magespawnand it is worth noting that the linux and asterisk ran fine, it was the windows that started to struggle12:23
who_da_flyhttps://www.flickr.com/photos/raindrift/7095238893/12:24
Xethronzeorin: true, but thats a simple excuse. That was true back in the day when PHP was just a wrapper language. Now, its just an inconsistent API...12:24
magespawnit is running a mysql database for the company stock system12:24
zeorinPHP was designed as a glue language, and it consistently maps functions to the underlying technology, e.g. database calls, etc.12:24
magespawnlol @ who_da_fly 12:25
zeorinWhen PHP was introduced, people were used to calling those underlying techs directly, so doing that way made sense, people's knowledge translated nicely to PHP12:25
magespawnzeorin: ^^12:25
XethronPHP is sometimes difficult to write without an intelligent IDE. But its still the quickest way to spin up a site12:25
who_da_flyXethron: if you can't write code without and IDE, either there's something wrong with you, or with the language you're using. You pick.12:25
zeorinThe different underling technologies obviously didn't follow a universal naming convention, so it only seems like PHP is inconsistent.12:25
Xethronwho_da_fly: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0804/9375/products/black.png?v=145390484012:26
zeorinBut it was a well-thought out, considered decision, that contributed to it's quick uptake12:26
who_da_flyzeorin: the reality is that PHP's API is inconsistent because it has no design12:26
zeorinIt does, its design is to follow the underlying API12:27
who_da_flyit's a bunch of cobbled together rubbish pretending to be a decent programming language12:27
zeorinYes12:27
who_da_flyzeorin: why? That's not the point of a programming language12:27
Xethronwho_da_fly: I do agree that PHP has some problems with its consistency, however, if a good friend comes to you and says: Dude, I only have R500, can you help me get a site up and running... What language would you choose?12:27
* Kilos goes to get some UVs12:27
zeorinBut before PHP, people were doing CGI gateways in C or Perl12:27
zeorin*shudder*12:27
XethronYou'd be stupid not to choose PHP12:27
zeorinWhich *were* proper programming languages12:27
XethronBecause it works on almost any server, and you can get a decent thing up and running in less than a day12:28
zeorinIt was meant to be a glue language12:28
who_da_flyXethron: I'd tell him to go somewhere else. I'm worth WAY more than R500.12:28
XethronI said a "Good" friend12:28
XethronOr your Dad, or Mom12:28
who_da_flyXethron: No.12:28
Xethron:P12:28
XethronHaters gonne hate12:29
who_da_flyI had a good friend ask me about *spit* WordPress *spit*12:29
who_da_flyI told her to ask someone else.12:29
zeorinAlso, the needle/haystack parameter ordering: *does* have a consistent design: array functions: $needle, $haystack; string functions: $haystack, $needle;12:29
magespawnzeorin: AsteriskNow is centos based FYI12:29
who_da_flyXethron: dude, program in a real language, and then say that12:29
XethronI think PHP has its place. And currently I'm very happy with it. But love languages like Ruby and Python too12:29
who_da_flyzeorin: except in the case of some array functions, where it's the opposite.12:30
Xethronwho_da_fly: Ok, whats a "real" language for web?12:30
who_da_flyXethron: Python12:30
who_da_fly(of course)12:30
Xethronlol12:30
who_da_flyor, if you're me, a site generator like Nikola12:30
who_da_fly(which happens to be written in Python)12:30
magespawnnotice the trend here?12:31
XethronI might rather go with Go or Node before I go through all the hassles of getting Python to work for web12:31
zeorinAnyway I'm not PHP's greatest fan. But it's not right to say it's got no design. It does. It's just that everyone's first intro to PHP as a n00b never told you about the underlying thinking so it seems random12:31
who_da_flyXethron: um, Go or Node are even more difficult to get running than Python.12:31
zeorinAnd because it was initially a glue language, they didn't have all the features. If you needed them you'd code it in C or C++ and glue it up with PHP12:31
who_da_flyzeorin: so why haven't we moved on from there? even Python did.12:32
zeorinSo after all the newbs (myself included) learned it, those features were demanded in the language itself.12:32
who_da_flyhttp://www.phpsadness.com/sad/612:32
zeorinAnd they're busy doing that.12:32
who_da_flyhttp://www.phpsadness.com/sad/1512:32
zeorinPHP is much like JS nowadays in that it's a great language if you ignore the bad parts12:32
who_da_flyhttp://www.phpsadness.com/sad/412:32
XethronPHP 7 has addressed most of my concerns12:32
zeorin*cough* unicode *cough*12:33
who_da_flyzeorin: or you can use a language whose bad parts don't make up 80% of the language12:33
zeorinI love JavaScript the most12:33
zeorinthat 20% of good parts is amazing.12:33
Xethronzeorin: trying to get into ES6 now12:33
who_da_flyzeorin: I prefer the 80% of good parts of Python which is even more amazing.12:34
Xethronhaha12:34
XethronWell at least PHP hasn't had a severe backwards compattibility break that split the community into two :P12:35
magespawnzeorin: also you can route the outgoing calls through a voip provider or some other service12:35
XethronAnyway, these arguments is about as pointless as Browser wars. Use the one you like most12:36
who_da_flyXethron: hardly. Most Python packages these days are compatible with BOTH versions, and the only ones that are still only Python 2 are the ones that have a lot of C code in them (numpy, scipy)12:36
XethronLeave others to use the ones you don't12:36
who_da_flyXethron: if PHP had to do that, it would be far worse than Python.12:36
zeorinXethron: ES6 is cool, but Classes are evil: https://medium.com/javascript-scene/the-two-pillars-of-javascript-ee6f3281e7f312:38
zeorinDon't use them. Prototypal Inheritance >>> Classes12:38
zeorinThe other thing I love about JS, and here it's really got every other language beat, is that it can run pretty much anywhere. If you know about progressive enhancement and universal javascript (JS that executes either on the server or client depending on the client's capabilities), if you know about NW.js or Electron, if you know about Phonegap/Cordova, you can create an app with a single codebase for 12:41
zeorinclient, server, mobile app, desktop app, even monochrome WAP phones, your toaster, etc.12:41
zeorinI know of no other language that can do that.12:42
who_da_flyzeorin: and it's just as dog slow everywhere.12:43
zeorinJS is plenty fast. DOM manipulation is browsers is slow12:43
zeorinReplace browser DOM with e.g. NativeScript and you've got a much faster app.12:44
zeorinJavaScript gets a bad rap for performance, but it's usually one of three problems: 1) using jQuery for animation (JS animation is fast, jQuery animation is not), 2) lots of unoptimized DOM manipulation, 3) even though it's garbage collected, you still have to think about memory, i.e. how to manage garbage collection: don't, and your UI will lock up when you least expect.12:46
zeorinThere are static memory allocation libraries for JS that work like malloc, and keep the garbage collector from kicking in when you don't want it to.12:47
Kilossjoe julle praat die hond uit die bos uit12:48
Kilosim not gonna read all that12:48
Kilosi refuse12:48
magespawnall about programming anyway Kilos 12:48
Kilosyes php and python wars12:49
zeorinanyway, magespawn, thanks for that info on the VM with Asterisk.12:49
zeorinI swung by #asterisk and showed them that same pastebin, asked them their toughts. They figure an ISDN line is a better option not only for line availability while forwarding is in progress, but also because then it's easier to know whether a call's been answered, etc.12:50
magespawnnever thought about that12:50
zeorinSo I've decided to put a pin in the self-hosted PBX idea for now. I know a guy that's got experience with Asterisk and telephony that's recently become involved in this non-profit. I'll involve him. (Delegation is a wonderful skill).12:51
Kiloshaha12:53
Xethronzeorin: Whats your name?12:55
XethronI believe we possibly met at the PHP Conference if you where there12:55
zeorinXandor Schiefer12:55
zeorinQuite possible. I'm the opinionated front-end guy ☺12:56
XethronAh yes12:56
XethronDunno if you remember the dude from MDS Collivery that made a fool of himself on stage :P12:56
zeorinOh right. I don't think you were a fool12:56
XethronHaha, I felt like one12:57
zeorinActually I think it's a great service12:57
zeorinImpostor syndrome12:57
XethronBut have been speaking at every PHP conference since, so its fun12:57
zeorinDon't believe the impostor syndrome. If you know even just a little bit more than another person about something, you're the expert.12:57
magespawnnp zeorin 12:58
=== SilverCodeZA is now known as SilverCode
MaNIbut how do you know that you know more? :)13:02
MaNIDunning–Kruger :p13:03
zeorinMaNI: you did the talk on that adobe flash format alternative to JSON, didn't you?13:03
zeorinWhat was that called?13:04
MaNInope not me13:04
zeorinFor some reason I read Dunning-Kruger as reminding me of Danny Kopping13:10
MaNIhehe13:19
who_da_flyhi MaNI, how's the solar panels going?13:33
who_da_flyinetpro: by the way, there's a fork of Shout called TheLounge. They're continuing development where the original guy has kinda faded.13:34
MaNIheh - still going strong - but still not on my roof, the universe is conspiring to prevent me from getting any further with them :p13:38
who_da_fly:-(13:41
who_da_flyalright, enough playing for now. TheLounge/Shout is nice. Must set it up for #ubuntu-za13:41
superfly"Developers like Koçulu got a little reminder that the NPM project is ultimately corporate-controlled. It will make decisions in its best interest, which may not be in every developer's best interest. It's a not so subtle reminder for Koala and other NPM developers that they serve at the pleasure of the king, in this case NPM Inc. For his part, Koçulu clearly got the message; he referred to deleting his code as "liberating" it. It's now 13:42
superflyhosted with Github. Another large corporation."13:42
superflyso much of this...13:43
magespawnsuperfly: can github do what they want with the code?13:45
superflymagespawn: in essence, yes13:45
magespawnhmmm there is some fine print for you14:03
magespawnbut i would suppose that is the case for a lot of those services14:08
superflyat the end of the day, you're storing your data on someone else's hard drive. what's to stop them doing something with it?14:09
superflyor just ending the service so that you're stuck high and dry?14:10
magespawnindeed, just their T&C's really, always keep a backup14:25
MaNIthese days you can't even be sure your OS isn't going to do something with your data14:28
MaNIbut yes trusting non opensource code hosting to a third party seems somewhat risky14:29
magespawnhome time, chat later all14:33
Kilosyes thank you , and you?15:23

theblazehenhey qwebirc1675917:16
theblazehenandrewlsd is, but he's not here now17:16
qwebirc16759hi theblazehen 17:16
qwebirc16759i am very new to this 17:17
qwebirc16759i need some help with ubuntu 17:17
theblazehenWhat's up?17:17
qwebirc16759is this the right place for me to ask ?17:17
theblazehenyeah17:17
qwebirc16759ok so i want to setup a proxy server for my small office 17:18
theblazehenOkay17:19
qwebirc16759i found a nice tutorial at https://aacable.wordpress.com/2014/07/02/lusca-automated-install-script/17:19
qwebirc16759i downloaded ubuntu 12,04 server and installed it on virtual box 17:19
qwebirc16759follwed the tut setup by setup 17:19
qwebirc16759everything when perfect no error message nothing 17:19
qwebirc16759then i made some changes in squid.conf to allow my network access to the proxy 17:20
qwebirc16759when i check the access.log file i can see that its working and there is hit 17:20
qwebirc16759but the problem is i dont know ubuntu 17:20
Symmetriaheh Kilos sorry went onto a call17:21
theblazehenOkay17:21
Symmetria:) will have to test at another time because this call wil go on for next 7 hours :(17:21
qwebirc16759so i can see its working with my basic know how 17:21
theblazehenFirst of all, 12.04 is really old, I'd suggest 16.04 or at least 14.0417:21
qwebirc16759but to be honest i know what i am looking at17:21
theblazehenWhat exactly is this LUSCA?17:21
Symmetriaso question, does anyone here use Neotel for internet connectivity17:22
SymmetriaIm curious to hear comments about their reliability and speeds etc17:22
qwebirc16759the script in the link i posted only works on 12.04 17:22
qwebirc16759i tried the latest version 17:22
theblazehenhttps://github.com/krakenjs/lusca is this the lusca that is being referred to?17:23
qwebirc16759correct 17:23
qwebirc16759this is what i get from the site "Lusca is a fork of the Squid-2 development tree. The Lusca project aims to fix the shortcomings in the Squid-2 codebase whilst maintaining the the Squid-2 functionality and stability. :17:23
theblazehenOkay. Wish I could help, But I have *a lot* of work to do. If you don't figure it out, I'll probably be able to help you out either tomorrow night or thursday17:24
theblazehenMaybe someone else here can help?17:24
qwebirc16759ok not a problem 17:25
qwebirc16759should i just make contact with your on the irc17:26
theblazehenYeah, or email17:27
theblazehenWill pm you email address17:27
Symmetriaouch, because of advances in tech, it used to be 3000 servers to 1 admin in 200817:29
Symmetriaits now at 50k servers to 1 admin in 2015 17:29
Symmetriaand thats growing 17:29
Symmetriabecause of automation 17:30
Symmetriathats not good for people in the sysadmin game17:30

qwebirc16759i have just now managed to get my network flowing though the proxy 19:30
Kilosno rest for the wicked19:32
magespawnwas it not allowing internet traffic at all?19:32
Kilosping in irc channel19:32
Kilosqwebirc16759 after a couple more days you can run ubuntu on everything19:33
magespawnno of course not19:34
qwebirc16759yes 19:34
qwebirc16759so from the scrip i have changed the port to 3128 transparent 19:34
qwebirc16759and removed ufw19:34
qwebirc16759then install iptables-persistant19:34
Kilosand no firewall19:35
qwebirc16759and added the the line -A PREROUTING -p tcp  -m tcp -s 192.168.1.0/24 ! -d 192.168.1.40 --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 312819:35
qwebirc16759 to iptables file 19:35
Kilossjoe you clever19:35

qwebirc16759if i know what i am looking for i will know what to ask google 19:36
Kilosgoogle isnt friendly like we are19:36
magespawnwhy the redirect?19:37
Kiloswe are here everyday and some are here till late at night'19:37
qwebirc16759redirect will force port 80 traffic to go through the squid 19:37
qwebirc16759if thats not in the the traffic will just to straight to the router 19:38
qwebirc16759bypassing squid19:38
magespawnahh right i see19:39
qwebirc16759anyone online From CT 19:40
magespawnso then squid will not even get the chance to cache anything19:40
qwebirc16759what do you mean 19:41
magespawnqwebirc16759: when you have registered your nick it is a good idea to use that one 19:41
qwebirc16759if you dont have the pre-routing rule in you basically bypassing squid19:42
magespawnthen people know who they are talking to19:42
qwebirc16759i have registerd the nick 19:42

paddatrapperSeems I missed him. Oh well tomorrow it shall have to be20:12
theblazehenOh, come on!20:30
theblazehenI'm such an idiot..20:30
theblazehen3 hours + tracking down an off by one error20:30
theblazehenOh. That wasn't it either20:39
* superfly was busy in a meeting21:00
theblazehenHey superfly21:00
superflyhi theblazehen21:00
theblazehenDo you by any chance have a good way of waking up at 1 AM where I won't just turn off the alarm and schedule a later one in my sleep?21:01
theblazehenPC speakers turn off after time21:01
theblazehenand I could always ^C a while:;do beep; done loop21:01
superflytheblazehen: nope, sorry. I struggle with the same thing.21:02
theblazehensuperfly: Damn21:02
theblazehenHmm21:02
superflytheblazehen: I've gotten up, gone to the toilet, gotten back into bed, and fallen asleep for another 30 minutes21:03
theblazehenI could ssh to my router, run a sleep; while:;do beep; done on there21:03
theblazehenthen detach from screen21:03
theblazehenthat way I'd need to ssh in, attach to screen and ^C it21:03
theblazehenwow21:03
theblazehennice21:03
theblazehenMaybe some kind of dead mans switch21:03
superflyyeah, alarms don't work so well for me.21:03
theblazehenHow do I do a dead mans switch I can't cancel?21:04
theblazehenI give up21:04
theblazehenProbably best to spend the next 3 hours sleeping, rather than thinking about the best way to wake up21:04
theblazehenOh what the hell21:07
theblazehenThe dev of the script said I should run in batches of 100 entries or so, but the script segfaults at points, so I need to clear out what gets missed. Faster to just for i in {0000..5540} do php script.php $i 1; done than it is to go in batches of 10021:08
theblazehenBatches of 100 = less than 100 because of failiure too21:09
