[05:03] <lotuspsychje> crazy
[05:06] <Bashing-om> last couple of days have been " something else " .
[05:07] <lotuspsychje> yeah im figuring
[05:09] <lotuspsychje> it will be a good lesson in sql injection
[05:09] <lotuspsychje> so many webs are vulnerable
[06:11] <ducasse> morning all :)
[06:14] <lotuspsychje> hey ducasse
[06:15] <ducasse> morning lotuspsychje - how are you?
[06:15] <lotuspsychje> fine mate tnx
[06:15] <lotuspsychje> working day today :p
[06:16] <ducasse> ah :) when are you leaving for work?
[06:16] <lotuspsychje> start at 12
[06:18] <ducasse> good with some free time first :) did you figure out the disclaimer/privacy stuff?
[06:20] <lotuspsychje> yeah im getting there
[06:23] <lotuspsychje> the text are pretty well made
[06:23] <lotuspsychje> so i only have to enter companys name etc
[06:23] <lotuspsychje> and here and there adjust some policy of my own company
[06:27] <ducasse> great. i've got a zillion things to do today, i spent most of the day yesterday fiddling with my i3 desktop :)
[06:28] <lotuspsychje> oh cool
[06:28] <lotuspsychje> i should try that one day :p
[06:30] <ducasse> i rarely spend time on things like that, but i just wanted to fix and test a few things. after i got started i couldn't stop :)
[06:33] <lotuspsychje> :p

[14:14] <BluesKaj> hi all
[14:15] <ducasse> hi BluesKaj - did you get vpn working?
[14:17] <BluesKaj> hi ducasse, nope, seems the pia openvpn isn't compatible with the pi3 ovpn files and the openbpn version on the pi3
[14:18] <BluesKaj> openvpn version
[14:19] <ducasse> odd. what happens when you try?
[14:21] <BluesKaj> anyway if I want to download torrents the socks5 proxy works with the pia url for socks5 users in qbittorrent and provides fields for the pia username and pw
[14:22] <ducasse> isn't that really slow?
[14:22] <BluesKaj> not on my dsl connecttion
[14:23] <BluesKaj> it's a tunnel thru the pia provider, basically a vpn for torrent clients
[14:24] <ducasse> when i tried there was a significant difference, but i guess it depends on your bandwidth.
[14:24] <BluesKaj> I have a 6mb or 700kbs connection here and i t ranat 630 or so consistently during a test
[14:26] <ducasse> ah, mine is 250mbps.
[14:27] <BluesKaj> I could pay thru the nose for a 40mb cable internet service, but I'm retired and on fixed income and don't need to get fleeced
[14:27] <BluesKaj> in the boonies here ...
[14:28] <ducasse> internet is pretty cheap here, but i don't normally have more than 150. there was an offer where i got 250 for six months at no extra cost, but at the end of august i'm back at 150.
[14:29] <BluesKaj> Canada has a sparse population vs the land area so commiunication is expensive here , it's just a fact of life
[14:31] <ducasse> most people here live in the cities, as do i, so i'm pretty lucky. i could get symmetric gb fiber for a little more, but what for?
[14:33] <BluesKaj> well, it works well enough for our needs and it's consistent ...my internet is $35/mos cdn and that's the way I like it
[14:36] <ducasse> how much is that in usd?
[14:36] <BluesKaj> the .ovpn config files from pia just doin't wortk with my version of openvpn for the pi3 , that's my conclusion ...I couldn't figure what the error is , so i settled for the socks5 proxy solution
[14:37] <ducasse> as long as it works :-)
[14:37] <BluesKaj> 35cdn is about 30us
[14:38] <ducasse> not too bad, then. i pay a little bit more, not much, but i understand why the difference is there. i live in a very small country :)
[14:43] <BluesKaj> it's not so much  the speed here, it's the cost of infrastructure and hardware...the cities are much cheaper due to the the competition
[14:47] <ducasse> right. the boonies over there are really the boonies compared to here.
[14:49] <BluesKaj> I live in a town of 5K population and I'm 70KM from a small city of 150K population, the nearest large city (Toronto) is 450KM from here
[14:51] <ducasse> my mother lives in what i consider to be the boonies, and that's 45km from the nearest big city...
[14:51] <ducasse> otoh, we don't have large cities on that scale.
