| [03:00] | * TankC is away: I'm busy | |
| [11:01] | <shaunm> | somebody should make neurosaudio.com redirect to www.neurosaudio.com instead of giving an error |
| [11:01] | <shaunm> | typing 'www' is so 20th century ;) |
| [11:04] | <JoshMalone> | no...actually giving DNS zones A records is so....evil |
| [11:04] | <JoshMalone> | I hate it and refuse to do it on anything I control |
| [11:16] | <shaunm> | evil how? |
| [12:08] | <NC-17> | i go with shaunm on this one |
| [12:28] | <nerochiaro> | JoshMalone: what's so wrong with that redirect ? |
| [12:48] | <JoshMalone> | I just don't like zones having A records |
| [12:48] | <JoshMalone> | but it seems I'm like the only 1 who feels that way now |
| [12:50] | <NC-17> | it seems like you are giving up a lot of usability just for being technical |
| [12:50] | <JoshMalone> | perhaps. |
| [12:50] | <NC-17> | in fact sometimes i think sites that dont work when typing it domain.tld dont know what they are doing? |
| [12:50] | <nerochiaro> | JoshMalone: i don't see the problem, and not doing it annoys users. where is the advantage ? |
| [12:50] | <NC-17> | err ! |
| [12:50] | <JoshMalone> | but how hard is it really to tack www onto something |
| [12:51] | <NC-17> | too hard :) |
| [12:51] | <nerochiaro> | JoshMalone: but why should you impose that if it's useless ? |
| [12:51] | <Clint> | nerochiaro: you may want the IP to point elsewhere for any number of reasons. what you are espousing is a very web-centric viewpoint |
| [12:52] | <NC-17> | i dont disagree with clint |
| [12:52] | <JoshMalone> | for instance, mail might like to use the zone's A record |
| [12:52] | <JoshMalone> | and then you have email conflicting with www....so it's better to just not have either |
| [12:52] | <nerochiaro> | Clint: i know, but most of the time there's no other service exposed from the domain except web. the www is redundant in that case |
| [12:52] | <NC-17> | use mail.domain.tld |
| [12:52] | <JoshMalone> | then you're forced to use MX record for mail, and www. A record for web |
| [12:53] | <Clint> | what you really want are http srv records |
| [12:53] | <Clint> | too bad web browsers don't support them |
| [12:53] | <NC-17> | base it off port access |
| [12:53] | <JoshMalone> | but when addressed to domain.tld then what? |
| [12:53] | <JoshMalone> | that's what we have to do here and it sux |
| [12:53] | <JoshMalone> | : jmalone@banach; dig nrao.edu in A |
| [12:53] | <JoshMalone> | nrao.edu. 3600 IN A 192.33.115.2 |
| [12:54] | <JoshMalone> | : jmalone@banach; dig nrao.edu in MX |
| [12:54] | <JoshMalone> | nrao.edu. 3600 IN MX 10 revere.aoc.nrao.edu. |
| [12:54] | <JoshMalone> | nrao.edu. 3600 IN MX 60 io.gb.nrao.edu. |
| [12:54] | <JoshMalone> | nrao.edu. 3600 IN MX 10 cv3.cv.nrao.edu. |
| [12:54] | <JoshMalone> | but it order for web users who don't type www we have to have a port redirect from our mail server over to the web server |
| [12:54] | <JoshMalone> | irritating |
| [12:54] | <NC-17> | hehe |
| [12:54] | <JoshMalone> | : jmalone@banach; host www.nrao.edu |
| [12:54] | <JoshMalone> | www.nrao.edu has address 192.33.115.6 |
| [12:55] | <nerochiaro> | well, from a technical standpoint you're right. but uses just don't give a damn, you know ;) |
| [12:55] | <JoshMalone> | yeah- I know |
| [12:55] | <JoshMalone> | but I want to kill all users, so there |
| [12:56] | * JoshMalone IS a sysadmin, after all :) | |
| [12:56] | * nerochiaro bows down to the admin | |
| [12:56] | <JoshMalone> | LOL |
| [12:56] | <JoshMalone> | no - just have a clue |
| [12:57] | <JoshMalone> | I'd much rather users get a clue than supplicate |
| [12:57] | <JoshMalone> | OH - and for all demoscene fans: |
| [12:57] | <JoshMalone> | www.esnips.com |
| [12:57] | <JoshMalone> | I'm posting my hi-fi collection here slowly |
| [12:58] | <nerochiaro> | i sure don't want to mess with a sysadmin who loves demoscene music on top of that ;) |
| [12:59] | <JoshMalone> | lol - why? |
| [13:06] | <nerochiaro> | JoshMalone: because i mostly suck at being an admin, and being a demoscene fan gives you bonus points |
| [13:47] | <shaunm> | is there anywhere I can see some screenshots of the osd in action? |
| [13:49] | <nerochiaro> | shaunm: maybe in old posts on odnt, but i can also make a couple if you like |
| [13:50] | <shaunm> | would be much appreciated if you could |
| [13:51] | <nerochiaro> | give me some minutes |
| [13:59] | <nerochiaro> | shaunm: have an email ? |
| [14:01] | <shaunm> | shaunm@gnome.org |
| [14:02] | <nerochiaro> | hope you can receive large attachements |
| [14:02] | <shaunm> | only one way to find out :) |
| [14:02] | <nerochiaro> | done |
| [14:02] | <shaunm> | thanks much |
| [14:03] | <JoshMalone> | ZOMG! Gnome is trying to steal our interface! |
| [14:03] | <JoshMalone> | :) LOL |
| [14:03] | <nerochiaro> | you're welcome. it was a forward of some shots i sent around the last time someone else asked :P |
| [14:03] | <nerochiaro> | JoshMalone: thieves! |
| [14:03] | <shaunm> | hah |
| [14:05] | <shaunm> | no, but there is the danger that I'll start advocating building with gnome technologies |
| [14:05] | <JoshMalone> | lol |
| [14:05] | <JoshMalone> | gosd? |
| [14:06] | <nerochiaro> | shaunm: oh, the missing contender. now we have them all, gtk-osd, qt-osd and e17-osd. let's flame fest everyone ! ;) |
| [14:06] | <JoshMalone> | :) |
| [14:07] | <shaunm> | you've got qt and e17 people? |
| [14:07] | <shaunm> | what is the osd interface built with? |
| [14:07] | <nerochiaro> | none of these |
| [14:07] | <nerochiaro> | it's built on a custom widget set on top of nano-x |
| [14:07] | <shaunm> | what you want, of course, is clutter |
| [14:07] | <shaunm> | clutter-project.org |
| [14:08] | <nerochiaro> | openGL ? |
| [14:08] | <shaunm> | and, of course, the entire multimedia stack should be gstreamer... |
| [14:08] | <shaunm> | ok, I'm going to stop being the gnome dweeb now |
| [14:08] | <nerochiaro> | yeah, tell that to the proprietary DSP |
| [14:09] | <JoshMalone> | lol |
| [14:10] | <shaunm> | damn, doesn't look like the screenshots made it through |
| [14:10] | <nerochiaro> | oh, either you gmail or the gnome server ate them |
| [14:10] | <nerochiaro> | er, my gmail |
| [14:11] | <shaunm> | the gnome address is just a forward |
| [14:11] | <shaunm> | wolfram servers probably dropped it |
| [14:11] | <shaunm> | I think it's a 5MB limit |
| [14:11] | <nerochiaro> | gimme a place to upload them, and i'll just do it |
| [14:12] | <shaunm> | hmm |
| [14:13] | <nerochiaro> | oh, wait, i'll just forward in smaller chunks |
| [14:20] | <nerochiaro> | shaunm: got them ? |
| [14:23] | <shaunm> | I got part 1 at least |
| [14:23] | <nerochiaro> | so it's less than 5Mb limit. the part 2 was 4 |
| [16:09] | <shaunm> | nerochiaro: www.gnome.org |
| [16:10] | <shaunm> | nerochiaro: if anybody else asks for them, so you don't have to do the email hassle again |
| [16:10] | <nerochiaro> | cool, thanks |
| [16:15] | <JoeBorn> | hi all |
| [16:15] | <nerochiaro> | hi |
| [17:38] | <shaunm> | so the osd basically obsoletes the mpeg4 recorder, yes? |
| [17:38] | <shaunm> | also, are the dac and 442 not produced anymore? |
| [17:44] | <daurnimator> | ohio |
| [17:46] | <shaunm> | good state. lots of roller coasters. |
| [18:26] | <JoeBorn> | shaunm, I'm not sure I'd say the OSD obsoletes the R2, the R2 is something like half the price of the OSD |
| [18:26] | <JoeBorn> | but the dac and 442v1 are not produced |
| [18:26] | <JoeBorn> | and 442v2 has long been put on hold unfortunately. |
| [18:33] | <shaunm> | JoeBorn: but the OSD can do everything the R2 can, yes? |
| [18:34] | <shaunm> | ooh, time to go |
| [18:39] | <crweb> | nerochiaro: ignore what I just posted to the list. I don't have a clue what I was talking about |
| [20:02] | <JoeBorn> | okey dokey, back at the scratchbox stuff |
| [20:09] | <JoeBorn> | hmm, now I can't ping the OSD anymore |
| [20:19] | <JoeBorn> | anyone there? |
| [20:20] | <Clint> | the OSD is powered off |
| [20:25] | <JoeBorn> | no, the OSD is on, there's something wrong with my vm |
| [21:19] | <JoeBorn> | hi hellwolf |
| [21:20] | <hellwolf> | hi JoeBorn |
| [21:20] | <JoeBorn> | my networking broken on that virtual machine, I'm trying to figure it out. |
| [21:36] | <JoeBorn> | anyone here know what the tftp is used for in the dev environment? |
| [21:36] | <JoeBorn> | what can it do that the nfs can't? |
| [21:38] | <hellwolf> | tftp is used by u-boot to load kernel (and initrd) |
| [21:38] | <JoeBorn> | oh, what does nfs do then? |
| [21:39] | <JoeBorn> | I thought uboot could boot from nfs |
| [21:39] | <hellwolf> | nfs is used when kernel loaded, tftp usually used before kernel loaded |
| [21:39] | <hellwolf> | yea, nfs is too complex to u-boot |
| [21:40] | <JoeBorn> | wow, ok. |
