[06:42] <inetpro> good mornings
[07:49] <chesedo> hi inetpro, how goes?
[07:49] <chesedo> hi all others too
[07:51] <inetpro> all good thanks and you chesedo
[07:51] <inetpro> ?
[07:52] <chesedo> good ty inetpro
[08:35] <Wolfeyes> Morning all
[08:36] <Kilos> hi wolfeyes and everyone else
[08:36] <Kilos> Wolfeyes: 
[08:39] <Kilos> anyone using squid to monitor bandwidth usage please help
[08:39] <Wolfeyes> Does anyone have advice on what the best broadband usage monitoring program would be best on a windows network, running it from Trusty 14.04 being used as a server, but not with server software...? 
[08:40] <Wolfeyes> bandwidth not broadband*
[11:05] <chesedo> Wolfeyes: does the ubuntu system act as the network server?
[11:06] <Wolfeyes> yes
[11:07] <Wolfeyes> chesedo, yes
[11:08] <Wolfeyes> with windows computers connecting to it, internet running in and out of the server ethernets ports
[11:09] <Wolfeyes> I am currently looking at squid and wondering if there is anything easier
[11:09] <chesedo> Wolfeyes: great, thats do-able
[11:09] <chesedo> squid is only a proxy
[11:09] <chesedo> should the monitoring be live or historical?
[11:10] <Wolfeyes> so the web browsers have to connect to that port that squid creates?
[11:10] <Wolfeyes> Both if my understanding of historical is recorded.
[11:11] <chesedo> Wolfeyes: yes, they have to use that port  if the proxy is not transparent
[11:11] <chesedo> normally 3128
[11:12] <chesedo> should the data be per interface or connected client?
[11:12] <Wolfeyes> and my understanding is if squid is tranparent then traffic will go through without any trouble, until changed to monitor traffic?
[11:13] <Wolfeyes> client connected I think, windows computers connecting to it...
[11:14] <chesedo> i have to idea how to make squid record the bandwidth used so can't help there...
[11:14] <chesedo> but for that look at darkstat. Most routers use it for historical bandwidth used per connected client
[11:15] <Wolfeyes> Okay well just recording the sites visited would be a great start.
[11:15] <Wolfeyes> Let me google that
[11:15] <chesedo> do you want a log of sites visited or bandwidth data used?
[11:17] <Wolfeyes> both
[11:18] <chesedo> Oh, squid already does the visited log... will tell where when at pc again... Was access.log iirc
[11:18] <chesedo> Then darkstat for data used...
[11:20] <Wolfeyes> busy looking at it, Iwill have to look at installing it on the weekend I htink. Thanks chesedo 
[11:23] <Wolfeyes> Just busy gathering everything that I will need
[11:45] <chesedo> `tail -f /var/log/squid/access.log` for the squid log file
[11:49] <chesedo> although you might want to rather use some squid log analyser to get a better view of the data in that file
[15:21] <Wolfeyes> I saw chesedo there was mention of a program called Sarge for looking at the log file
[16:49] <chesedo> Wolfeyes: seems interesting
[16:50] <chesedo> there is also SquidAnalyzer
[16:51] <chesedo> well there are many choses actually on some official page on squid
[17:12] <Wolfeyes> I was there today chesedo been trying to read through it all, it's a lot lol
[17:13] <chesedo> haha, yeah I only scrolled through it :D
[17:31] <superfly> o/
[17:53] <Kilos> o/
[17:57] <chesedo> hi superfly and Kilos
[18:06] <Wolfeyes> heya superfly 
[18:06] <superfly> hey guys
[18:12] <Kilos-> hi chesedoty for helping wolf
[18:13] <Kilos-> all good superfly?
[18:13] <superfly> Kilos-: yep.
[18:13] <superfly> hot, but good.
[18:13] <Kilos> how hot?
[18:14] <superfly> 40
[18:14] <Kilos> dont melt
[18:14] <superfly> We have airconditioning in the house... but not in my office :-/
[18:14] <superfly> I might move into the bedroom after lunch
[18:15] <Kilos> lol
[18:15] <superfly> We might have a thunderstorm this afternoon, that'll cool things down.
[18:16] <Kilos> yip
[18:16] <Kilos> we freezing here
[18:17] <superfly> Kilos: I hope you're staying warm enough
[18:19] <Kilos> yes ty , coupla good duvets, and sun warms my room all morning so i spend much time with door closed to keep warmth in
[18:21] <Kilos> did you guys like and share taras song on FB?
[18:22] <Kilos> teel the mericans thats a boere meisie that cant speak afrikaans
[18:22] <superfly> haha
[18:22] <superfly> I can barely get the Americans to understand me.
[18:22] <Kilos> lol
[18:22] <Kilos> talk to them in code
[18:23] <superfly> "Hi, I'm looking for the tarps" "huh?" "the tarps" "huh?" "The taRRRRRRRRRRRps" "Oh! they're down that aisle"
[18:24] <Kilos> hahhahaa
[18:24] <Kilos> how are the chickens
[18:25] <superfly> They're also hot ;-)
[18:25] <superfly> But doing  well.
[18:25] <Kilos> hee hee hee
[18:29] <chesedo> lol, try taaaps next time :D
[18:30] <chesedo> iirc the r is not as "revee" as over here
[18:30] <superfly> chesedo: I think they thought I was saying "tops"
[18:30] <chesedo> lol
[18:30] <superfly> because they pronounce an "o" as "aa"
[18:31] <superfly> I'm in rural America, I hang with the ranchers and the cowboys ;-)
[18:31] <Kilos> crazy
[18:31] <chesedo> southerners?
[18:31] <superfly> No, South West (which is not the same as the South)
[18:32] <superfly> We live just outside Willcox https://osm.org/go/TlP8Aag--
[18:32] <chesedo> aak :P
[18:34] <Kilos> lol
[18:37] <superfly> Oh, by the way, I ordered one of these little guys: https://www.amazon.com/HiLetgo-Internet-Development-Wireless-Micropython/dp/B010O1G1ES/
[18:37] <superfly> It gets here this afternoon.
[18:38] <superfly> You can either use Arduino to program it, or you can use MicroPython (which I'm planning on using)
[18:42] <Wolfeyes> That looks pretty cool
[18:43] <superfly> I'm going to hook it up to a solar charging set up (panels, charge controller, battery) and get it to automatically open and close the coop door at dawn and about 20 minutes after dusk
[18:44] <superfly> The most expensive parts, from my calculations, are the solar panel, charge controller, and battery. They'll come to about $60.
[18:44] <superfly> So that means I can set up my own automatic door for less than $100, while the ones being sold commercially are $200+
[18:57] <Kilos> well done
[18:58] <Kilos> lucky chickens
[18:58] <Kilos> hi pavlushka
[18:59] <pavlushka> Hello Kilos :)
