[08:26] Morning all [08:35] morning boys and girls. [08:46] I just got the message on the feedback channel on telegram. Problem is that http://ubuntupodcast.org/telegram/ does not work when you only use web.telegram.org Any other way to join that channel? [08:58] Telegram Desktop ? [09:05] Morning all [09:35] Good morning all! Happy Friday, and happy Bartender Appreciation Day! 🍺 🍻 [09:36] Anyone used Sucuri.net before in their workplace or for customers? [09:39] JamesTait: nice friday song for the bartenders https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCkmIyC6v00 [10:11] 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] and I 100% have the proxy configured in both [10:11] also traceroute does not show anything, just a load of lines of stars [10:27] :( [10:30] ip route command [10:30] check your routes [10:31] some vpns publish certain routes that you can access, rather than all all -> VPN [10:43] 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 [10:52] dogmatic69_: you're using both a VPN and a proxy? Is the IP that you can't connect the proxy? [10:56] got a supposedly dimmable LED bulb and it flickers like a strobe [10:56] previous one didn't do that! [11:05] BigRedS: I just figured it out. had different "no_proxy" settings for cli and ui :/ [11:06] foobarry: sounds like your dimmable is using PWM, slowly [11:07] pwm? [11:08] pulse width modulation, instead of lowering the power amount you simply turn it on and off at different intervals to get the same effect [11:09] 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] too long, being slower than what your eye can detect [11:10] this is massive strobing [11:11] https://goo.gl/photos/WhNR9H5vjMH26wto9 [11:11] much worse even that can be recorded on that clip. [11:12] not a bit of flicker, but actual strobing [11:12] yep, it could be a dead capacitor [11:12] got 2 of them brand new. both the same [11:12] its on a dimmer switch. i bet its fine on a regaulr switch [11:12] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-width_modulation#Voltage_regulation [11:12] oh, you need special ones for a dimmer [11:12] these are suppsed to be! [11:13] ::O [11:13] ah, balls maybe i got the wrong one [11:13] :) [11:14] Beam Angle: 140°, Warm Up Time: Instant, Dimmable: No, 5 Year Warranty [11:14] argggh [11:14] that will do it [11:14] i was looking at a whole page of dimmable and managed to make a mistake [11:19] could be worse - you could have ordered the wrong 8 TB external disk array (Thunderbolt instead of USB) [11:19] oh [11:21] also.. [11:21] http://imgur.com/a/6pQ6b [11:21] amazon claimed it was with sam at number 51, ten doors down [11:27] yeah, we get that a lot as we have a porch [11:28] it's not even tucked away [11:34] gdgdgdg [11:34] dss [11:37] SebthreeBQM10HD: seriously get the cat off your keyboard [11:37] that was me :D, no cat here [11:37] got dogs though [12:01] foobarry: took me a while to spot that, hidden behind the pot :/ [12:02] particularly as we have bushes and nooks and crannies [12:05] but thankfully no crevices... :-P [12:42] anyone on talktalk broadband? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-38167453 [13:15] diddledan: Thankfully not, must admit I wouldn't touch talktalk with a 10 foot bargepole [13:15] me either [13:16] what about an eu approved 4m one? :-) [13:16] I don;t think I've ever heard anybody say something good about talktalk [13:17] I'm with Sky, they get a lot of complaints, but the service I've had has always been good [13:17] in ireland i use tesco mobile and it's considered bottom of the barrel but actually provides one of the best services [13:19] it's only the tesco name that gets it a bad name as far as i can see [13:38] 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. === DanielLlewellyn[ is now known as diddledan__ [14:07] My mum has TalkTalk as her ISP [14:07] It's pants. [14:07] i have TT [14:07] i have that router [14:07] Their router is a Huwaei piece-of-poop [14:07] maybe* [14:07] :-( [14:08] D-Link DSL-3780 [14:08] Huwaei HG533 [14:08] I presume by default that it runs all kinds of Evilware [14:08] i've had dodgy internet this week [14:08] kept losing wifi [14:09] * awilkins is on Virginmedia with the "Superhub" firmly in "Stupid mode" and a separate Asus router inside [14:10] 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] 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 [14:12] * zmoylan-pi makes note to make sure i have credit for my tescomobile mifi just in case... [14:12] zmoylan-pi: if you were in the UK your landlord would now have to record every site you visit :-p [14:13] well... i would be the one handling the log so i'm ok with that :-P [14:13] lol [14:13] you get freebie wifi because you're the admin? [14:13] "sure I can install your internet... *backdoors it*" [14:14] 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] erhmagherd, you watch nyancat you pervert?! [14:14] My Asus is running the updated stock firmware [14:15] 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] But the stock firmware is surprisingly good, even has SSH [14:16] yeah some cheaper routers use a binary blob to access hardware-level nat [14:16] 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 [14:17] Same for the stock firmware, changed to it when they went to 150Mbit/s and OpenWRT was petering out around 80Mbit/s [14:17] I remember running a netgear prosafe router ages ago that was crippled to not be able to go faster than 11Mbit [14:17] The wifi is a lot faster and more reliable too. Sad really. I do prefer open where possible. [14:18] t'was this jobbie: https://www.netgear.com/support/product/FVS124G.aspx?cid=wmt_netgear_organic [14:18] I figured if it has dual wan ports then it surely can go fast [14:18] but nope, 11Mbit/s even when using both WANs simultaneously [14:19] Yuk [14:19] You think with a name like "Firewall 25" it would do at least 25Mbit/s aggregate [14:45] i don't get ads with teh spotify web player. is that adblock doing that? [14:56] some other ppl on the web saying the same thing, but its not the adblocker doing it [15:37] wat: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/38185846 [15:39] yeah === layke is now known as Guest47456 [17:20] https://github.com/dspinellis/unix-history-repo [17:29] diddledan: Retire at the top when you know you;ll never do it again :) [21:02] infinite loop: http://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2016/11/30/Google-Home-and-Amazon-Echo-have-conversation-in-infinite-loop/2521480532013/ [21:03] XD [21:05] set their ring tone and you could trigger it when they leave their phone down at home... :-) [21:07] i really must make one with 'ok google, search for my little pony' and start installing it on peoples phone
