[08:14] ahh my ears [10:26] pyvpx: i don't get the reference [10:28] hazardous: we get it, you're young [10:34] I equate the pin-drop with MCI... maybe I'm mis-remembering [10:48] it was sprint, their logo was the "trail" of a pin dropping for years [10:49] that triangular thing [10:51] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ae2hrsvQYs [10:51] YouTube People: "Sprint Pin Drop 1987" by 1valvashon (30s), 1,061 views, 1 like and 0 dislikes.

[10:52] that has the old old old logo, but the more triangular one had some superimposed pin bouncing thing that turns into the logo. can't remember when that was [10:54] LOL I'd forgotten the name "US Sprint" [10:55] yeah, hahaha [10:55] and that awful typeface [10:55] looks like a video game logo from the 80s [10:55] err, title [10:55] rather [10:56] * brycec remembers when long-distance rates were not only a thing, but fluctuated throughout the day [10:56] * brycec does not miss it [10:56] "$8 for an hour of calls" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6qsFWtWNXI [10:56] YouTube Entertainment: "MCI commercial" by jmtrexler (30s), 2,530 views, 3 likes and 0 dislikes.

[18:47] other side is a cellphone (non voip) [18:48] the voip.ms pop is 10ms away [19:08] *** jbergstroem has quit IRC (Excess Flood) [19:12] I've never used voip.me, but through Flowroute it's more or less instant [19:13] to call a landline. cell phones usually take a second or two [19:13] 2-10 seconds [19:14] (my experience with cellphones) [19:14] (because I don't have a landline to call) [19:15] takes me around 20 seconds [19:17] <1 second from voip.ms to voip.ms in the same pop [19:41] it's about 2 to 4 seconds normally mnathani [19:42] but it can depend on interconnect/switching systems a lot [19:42] same as with legacy phone, calling some places can take an insane amount of time, and tends to be worse internationally. [19:42] aye [19:42] bryce: i imagine voip systems are actually quicker than non voip. [19:43] in general. [19:43] sometimes you hear it changing too [19:43] now i have to test it [19:43] there is an SPA3102 connected to an analog phone which uses a voip.ms account << which is originating the call [19:43] not sure if that changes anything [19:44] 4 or 5 seconds just now [19:44] then 7 or 8 seconds the second time. [19:44] wow [19:44] that's landline to cell [19:45] and going off the ring of cell rather than of phone [19:45] 3 seconds other way around [19:45] but it rung on cell before that [19:46] also strangely my cell isn't showing all the callerid information [19:47] i wonder if cell being slow is partially because the phone falls asleep [20:08] *** jbergstroem has joined #arpnetworks [20:19] *** jbergstroem has quit IRC (Quit: bye) [20:20] *** jbergstroem has joined #arpnetworks [20:25] calling my voip.ms line via at&t mobility, it rings within 2 seconds of starting the call on my cell [20:25] and it rings in my office before i hear the ringing tone on the mobile [20:25] That's what she said!! [20:25] HAW HAW BRYCEBOT UR SO GUD [20:25] BryceBot: no [20:25] Oh, okay... I'm sorry. 'and it rings in my office before i hear the ringing tone on the mobile' [20:25] same w/flowroute and vitelity [20:26] thats pstn to voip? [20:26] yes [20:26] how about voip to pstn? [20:26] too lazy to get the device and dial out [20:26] it's upstairs [20:27] i'm 9ms from the pop i use in denver [20:27] on voip.ms anyway [20:27] 17ms to vitelity and similar to flowroute [20:27] m0unds: do you also get longer delay calling cell from voip? [20:27] i'd never really paid attention or noticed before [20:27] not that i've noticed [20:27] it terminates quickly [20:27] which voip provider has best call quality? [20:27] it was only when i tried :) [20:28] mnathani: they're all the same pretty much [20:28] ie terrible. [20:28] the codec used on a mobile is likely going to sound shittier than voup [20:28] as long as you use g711 through you're doing the best you can pretty much. [20:28] voip [20:28] I would be willing to pay more for a premium service [20:28] for most networks anyway [20:28] m0unds: exactly. [20:28] and everyone uses mobile [20:29] skype works way better :) [20:29] tmo and at&t sound ok, sprint and verizon both sound like ass in nm at least [20:29] they're introducing hd voice here, but not between providers :( [20:29] i wonder how hd voice to landline would be [20:29] or to voip [20:29] that's so lame [20:29] i guess it's probably a pain to switch it bw providers vs calls on the same provider [20:29] maybe in the future [20:29] well we have 3 mobile providers here and only 2 of them are doing hd voice. [20:30] Fun fact: my watch shows the incoming call notification before my phone actually rings, by several seconds. [20:30] yeah i'm hoping. can you do hd voice between providers there? [20:30] brycec: fancy. which watch? [20:30] Pebble [20:30] i like the displays on those [20:30] is that a smart watch? [20:30] Yes [20:30] i'd have a hard time giving up my beat up old g-shock though [20:30] i kind of read up a bit about smart watches, and they looked like they may be good in the future [20:31] (so the call has reached my cell phone, in order to be pushed to my watch, before the phone rings) [20:31] and that the samsung one was pretty good but samsung specific. [20:31] how do you find having a smart watch in general? [20:31] lol "hdvoice landline" there are technical limitations... [20:32] brycec: well voip.. [20:32] (inherent to electrical telephony and the systems built around it) [20:32] brycec: but ther eisn't really. [20:32] the codecs better than gsm. [20:32] or whatever codec is being used normally [20:32] so even if it's terminating at 8k it'll still be better. [20:32] There isn't a codec in in landline phones until the wiring is terminated, and by then it's fairly meh [20:33] (source: I design telephony equipment at my day job) [20:33] brycec: i'm talknig about the codecs on mobile networks. [20:33] But I wasn't :p [20:33] That's what she said!! [20:33] BryceBot: no [20:33] Oh, okay... I'm sorry. 'But I wasn't :p' [20:33] mercutio: Smartwatch is pretty handy, I like it a lot. [20:33] BryceBot: well i was trying to say that hd voice should still help, even if terminating on boring old isdn. [20:33] uhh what, why does bryce terminate to the bot grr. [20:34] Blame your client :p [20:34] maybe the bot should be called botbryice. [20:34] I think that gives the wrong impression [20:34] i get brycec before BryceBot [20:35] weechat knows (tm) [20:35] I get BryceBot, but then... I am brycec [20:35] you shouldn't be speaking to yourself [20:35] That's what she said!! [20:35] weechat is configurable to tab-complete with whomever spoke recently. [20:35] m0unds: i'm using weechat. [20:35] yea, i think it does it by default [20:35] oh now i get brycec, weird. [20:35] haha [20:35] oh maybe that's what's happening [20:35] how do we make bot talk [20:36] i want a big sausage [20:36] That's what she said!!

[20:37] where i have the most call quality issues is when hitting ivr systems and going international normally. [20:37] s/he/it/ [20:37] witre i have tit most call quality issues is witn hitting ivr systems and going international normally. [20:37] or otherwise being shit. [20:37] haha [20:37] lol [20:37] s/tit/bananas [20:37] s/l/s/ [20:37] sos [20:37] my point being that BryceBot is an "it" [20:38] with a name like bryce? [20:38] it's a name like "BryceBot" [20:38] PS "bryce" is an androgynous name, equally male and female [20:38] s/Bryce/Potato [20:38] it's a name like "PotatoBot" [20:38] oh really. i didn't realise that.

[20:39] it's always male around here [20:39] considere dit [20:39] considered also [20:39] eww, m0unds [20:39] kidding [20:39] haha [20:39] interesting [20:39] http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bryce [20:39] mercutio: It's always been male around my house too :P But apparently it's a woman's name too [20:39] Urban Dictionary: "bryce" bryce [20:39] a guy who is excellent in bed, and you are amazed of his capabilities [20:39] @ud Bryce [20:39] Bryce: a guy who is excellent in bed, and you are amazed of his capabilities <2007-11-11T00:00:00+00:00> Example: "That guy last night was a bryce for sure" [20:39] @wiki Bryce Dallas Howard [20:39] Bryce Dallas Howard :: Bryce Dallas Howard (born March 2, 1981) is an American film actress, writer and director.

[23:02] JC_Denton: interesting question [23:03] I know dedi at ARP start at 8 GB [23:03] any reason why you don't want a dedicated box ? [23:05] What's more is that a 4GB VPS is $80/mo, an 8GB dedi is $129/mo (plus more disk space, CPU, bw, etc) [23:06] although dedicated the disk is not RAID / redundant by default [23:06] VPS disk is on a RAID 10 array [23:08] But dedi you can get an SSD [23:10] JC_Denton: To build the largest VPS up to 8GB will end up costing you $160/mo ($80 base + 16 * 256MB @ $5/mo), or an 8GB ded is $129/mo. You're probably better off with the dedicate box if you really do need 8GB RAM.

[23:46] like if the node has an issue, you don't have to do as much [23:46] you could run your own Virtual Instance on top of the dedicated box, giving you more control and ability to snapshot, clone etc [23:47] that's what i'm doing mnathani ;) [23:47] i have xen on arp dedicated. [23:47] kvm? [23:47] ahh [23:47] i been using xen for years. [23:47] i prefer kvm if having no root [23:47] and so i can run openbsd for my personal vm [23:47] but if you just want to run virtual machines and have basic node access xen is fine. [23:48] what os is the host [23:48] ubuntu [23:48] or is xen a bare metal hypervisor [23:48] That's what she said!! [23:48] BryceBot: no [23:48] Oh, okay... I'm sorry.

[23:50] but before oracle i used opensolaris for a while [23:50] you folllowing the systemd vs init discussion? [23:50] yes [23:50] i use arch linux at home [23:50] i hate sytemctl but kind of like it [23:50] That's what she said!! [23:50] it's kind of like saying you like windows.
