anton_mayHavebeen doing that06:18
theblazehenhi Kilos06:21
theblazehennlsthzn: It worked in the sense that it made noise. Didn't in the sense that I slept through my phone alarm *and* listened to the beep for maybe 30 min before parents woke me up to ask what the sound is06:22
theblazehenNext step: Hook it up so that it shocks me with a decent amount of electricity. Maybe I wear something around leg06:22
theblazehenSomething based on http://arstechnica.com/security/2015/10/usb-killer-flash-drive-can-fry-your-computers-innards-in-seconds/ erhaps06:23
Kiloslol06:24
theblazehenKilos: You know this electronics stuff. What would be the best way to do that?06:27
Kiloshmm...06:30
Kilosthe connector would be the problem06:30
Kilosyou will most likely lose it when tossing and turning over06:30
theblazehenKilos: Something like one of the dog collars that shock when they go over line perhaps?06:35
theblazehenI can maybe get one and then trigger the senser manualy somehow06:36
Kiloslol06:36
Kilosget a wireless one and trigger it from your pc06:37

Kilosi go let sheep out07:25
Kiloswbb07:25
theblazehennlsthzn: I can do that. 220V ac? Or do like that usb killer, really high voltage?07:26
nlsthznwell, high voltage low ampere is the way to wake-up alive as opposed to waking up dead :p07:29
theblazehenYeah, but if I put it at bottom of leg I wouldn't expect more than scorch marks worst case :D07:29
nlsthznwell if you are into such things go for it :07:30
nlsthzn:p07:30
theblazehennlsthzn: Haha, you have no idea.. (Not in the way you think though07:36

theblazehenah. nice. Why not ssh into a vps running irssi in screen?10:26
anton_maySo just a quick update re Neotel, they picked up crc errors on their shitty Neo one router. They hard coded the speds on the if, lets see now10:37
magespawntheblazehen: no reason, no vps perhaps11:14
theblazehenmagespawn: Then ssh to pc at home?11:15

pavlushkait says invalid dial command, the configurations are of 2.5g's actually , cant find the 3g version of the wvdial config, :(19:31
pavlushkatheblazehen: actually as I have alternate options and got sakis3g before searching extensively for 3g config for wvdial.19:35
theblazehenpavlushka: Hmm19:41
theblazehenI find that an old android phone + usb tethering works with no issues19:41
pavlushkatheblazehen: yes but I have only one old android phone and I am using that for calls and I was using the phone in the same method but to avoid extra hassle I started using the modem.19:50
