| davmor2 | Morning all | 09:05 |

| davmor2 | JamesTait: nice friday song for the bartenders https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCkmIyC6v00 | 09:39 |
| dogmatic69_ | Anyone able to help with some strange networking issue. I am connected to work VPN and need to access some specific IP in the browser but it wont work. I can wget it though | 10:11 |
| dogmatic69_ | and I 100% have the proxy configured in both | 10:11 |
| dogmatic69_ | also traceroute does not show anything, just a load of lines of stars | 10:11 |
| dogmatic69_ | :( | 10:27 |
| foobarry | ip route command | 10:30 |
| foobarry | check your routes | 10:30 |
| foobarry | some vpns publish certain routes that you can access, rather than all all -> VPN | 10:31 |
| davmor2 | dogmatic69_: check if compression is enabled on the vpn and if it is make sure it is enabled on you machine too it is a simple checkbox to over look | 10:43 |
| BigRedS | dogmatic69_: you're using both a VPN and a proxy? Is the IP that you can't connect the proxy? | 10:52 |
| foobarry | got a supposedly dimmable LED bulb and it flickers like a strobe | 10:56 |
| foobarry | previous one didn't do that! | 10:56 |
| dogmatic69_ | BigRedS: I just figured it out. had different "no_proxy" settings for cli and ui :/ | 11:05 |
| dogmatic69_ | foobarry: sounds like your dimmable is using PWM, slowly | 11:06 |
| foobarry | pwm? | 11:07 |
| dogmatic69_ | pulse width modulation, instead of lowering the power amount you simply turn it on and off at different intervals to get the same effect | 11:08 |
| dogmatic69_ | eg if its only on 1/2 the time it would be 1/2 as bright, but if the pulses are too long it will look like its flashing | 11:09 |
| dogmatic69_ | too long, being slower than what your eye can detect | 11:09 |
| foobarry | this is massive strobing | 11:10 |
| foobarry | https://goo.gl/photos/WhNR9H5vjMH26wto9 | 11:11 |
| foobarry | much worse even that can be recorded on that clip. | 11:11 |
| foobarry | not a bit of flicker, but actual strobing | 11:12 |
| dogmatic69_ | yep, it could be a dead capacitor | 11:12 |
| foobarry | got 2 of them brand new. both the same | 11:12 |
| foobarry | its on a dimmer switch. i bet its fine on a regaulr switch | 11:12 |
| dogmatic69_ | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-width_modulation#Voltage_regulation | 11:12 |
| dogmatic69_ | oh, you need special ones for a dimmer | 11:12 |
| foobarry | these are suppsed to be! | 11:12 |
| dogmatic69_ | ::O | 11:13 |
| foobarry | ah, balls maybe i got the wrong one | 11:13 |
| dogmatic69_ | :) | 11:13 |
| foobarry | Beam Angle: 140°, Warm Up Time: Instant, Dimmable: No, 5 Year Warranty | 11:14 |
| foobarry | argggh | 11:14 |
| dogmatic69_ | that will do it | 11:14 |
| foobarry | i was looking at a whole page of dimmable and managed to make a mistake | 11:14 |
| dwatkins | could be worse - you could have ordered the wrong 8 TB external disk array (Thunderbolt instead of USB) | 11:19 |
| foobarry | oh | 11:19 |
| foobarry | also.. | 11:21 |
| foobarry | http://imgur.com/a/6pQ6b | 11:21 |
| foobarry | amazon claimed it was with sam at number 51, ten doors down | 11:21 |
| dwatkins | yeah, we get that a lot as we have a porch | 11:27 |
| foobarry | it's not even tucked away | 11:28 |
| SebthreeBQM10HD | gdgdgdg | 11:34 |
| SebthreeBQM10HD | dss | 11:34 |
| davmor2 | SebthreeBQM10HD: seriously get the cat off your keyboard | 11:37 |
| SebthreeBQM10HD | that was me :D, no cat here | 11:37 |
| SebthreeBQM10HD | got dogs though | 11:37 |
| dogmatic69_ | foobarry: took me a while to spot that, hidden behind the pot :/ | 12:01 |
| foobarry | particularly as we have bushes and nooks and crannies | 12:02 |
| zmoylan-pi | but thankfully no crevices... :-P | 12:05 |
| diddledan | anyone on talktalk broadband? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-38167453 | 12:42 |
| DJones | diddledan: Thankfully not, must admit I wouldn't touch talktalk with a 10 foot bargepole | 13:15 |
| diddledan | me either | 13:15 |
| zmoylan-pi | what about an eu approved 4m one? :-) | 13:16 |
| DJones | I don;t think I've ever heard anybody say something good about talktalk | 13:16 |
| DJones | I'm with Sky, they get a lot of complaints, but the service I've had has always been good | 13:17 |
| zmoylan-pi | in ireland i use tesco mobile and it's considered bottom of the barrel but actually provides one of the best services | 13:17 |
| zmoylan-pi | it's only the tesco name that gets it a bad name as far as i can see | 13:19 |
| dwatkins | I'm with Three in the UK, the coversage is significantly better than Vodafone when I'm on the train around Glasgow and Edinburgh. Can't even stay on a call with Vodafone sometimes. | 13:38 |

| awilkins | My mum has TalkTalk as her ISP | 14:07 |
| awilkins | It's pants. | 14:07 |
| foobarry | i have TT | 14:07 |
| foobarry | i have that router | 14:07 |
| awilkins | Their router is a Huwaei piece-of-poop | 14:07 |
| foobarry | maybe* | 14:07 |
| diddledan | :-( | 14:07 |
| foobarry | D-Link DSL-3780 | 14:08 |
| awilkins | Huwaei HG533 | 14:08 |
| awilkins | I presume by default that it runs all kinds of Evilware | 14:08 |
| foobarry | i've had dodgy internet this week | 14:08 |
| foobarry | kept losing wifi | 14:08 |
| * awilkins is on Virginmedia with the "Superhub" firmly in "Stupid mode" and a separate Asus router inside | 14:09 | |
| diddledan | awilkins: I used to do that when I was with virgin - it's annoying that the first thing they do if you phone them for support about broken net is "your router is in modem mode. I fixed that for you." | 14:10 |
| foobarry | i had their huawei picture frame one for a while | 14:10 |
| * zmoylan-pi laughs at these configurations and crosses fingers that my landlords wifi ap stays up over crimbo so my ap that extends it will keep working | 14:10 | |
| * zmoylan-pi makes note to make sure i have credit for my tescomobile mifi just in case... | 14:12 | |
| diddledan | zmoylan-pi: if you were in the UK your landlord would now have to record every site you visit :-p | 14:12 |
| zmoylan-pi | well... i would be the one handling the log so i'm ok with that :-P | 14:13 |
| diddledan | lol | 14:13 |
| diddledan | you get freebie wifi because you're the admin? | 14:13 |
| diddledan | "sure I can install your internet... *backdoors it*" | 14:13 |
| zmoylan-pi | i think theirs a politican nearby so i can use theirs for all the nasty stuff... 8bit cat videos and the like :-P | 14:14 |
| diddledan | erhmagherd, you watch nyancat you pervert?! | 14:14 |
| awilkins | My Asus is running the updated stock firmware | 14:14 |
| awilkins | I had OpenWRT on it for ages, but it uses some filthy Broadcom trick to NAT packets quickly and OpenWRT doesn't have the kernel support for it | 14:15 |
| * brobostigon could have abit of fun with https://www.usbkill.com/usb-killer/8-usb-killer.html :) | 14:15 | |
| awilkins | But the stock firmware is surprisingly good, even has SSH | 14:15 |
| diddledan | yeah some cheaper routers use a binary blob to access hardware-level nat | 14:16 |
| awilkins | Before that I had a Buffalo for aaaaages but it literally wasn't fast enough to keep up with my connection when VM upgraded it | 14:16 |
| awilkins | Same for the stock firmware, changed to it when they went to 150Mbit/s and OpenWRT was petering out around 80Mbit/s | 14:17 |
| diddledan | I remember running a netgear prosafe router ages ago that was crippled to not be able to go faster than 11Mbit | 14:17 |
| awilkins | The wifi is a lot faster and more reliable too. Sad really. I do prefer open where possible. | 14:17 |
| diddledan | t'was this jobbie: https://www.netgear.com/support/product/FVS124G.aspx?cid=wmt_netgear_organic | 14:18 |
| diddledan | I figured if it has dual wan ports then it surely can go fast | 14:18 |
| diddledan | but nope, 11Mbit/s even when using both WANs simultaneously | 14:18 |
| awilkins | Yuk | 14:19 |
| awilkins | You think with a name like "Firewall 25" it would do at least 25Mbit/s aggregate | 14:19 |
| foobarry | i don't get ads with teh spotify web player. is that adblock doing that? | 14:45 |
| foobarry | some other ppl on the web saying the same thing, but its not the adblocker doing it | 14:56 |
| diddledan | wat: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/38185846 | 15:37 |
| foobarry | yeah | 15:39 |

| daftykins | XD | 21:03 |
| zmoylan-pi | set their ring tone and you could trigger it when they leave their phone down at home... :-) | 21:05 |
| zmoylan-pi | i really must make one with 'ok google, search for my little pony' and start installing it on peoples phone | 21:07 |
