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

Uploaded 2009-05-03T14:40:07.000Z. hahahah nice what is the typical amount of time after placing a call using a voip service like voip.ms that the phone on the other side starts ringing? other side is a cellphone (non voip) the voip.ms pop is 10ms away I've never used voip.me, but through Flowroute it's more or less instant to call a landline. cell phones usually take a second or two 2-10 seconds (my experience with cellphones) (because I don't have a landline to call) takes me around 20 seconds <1 second from voip.ms to voip.ms in the same pop it's about 2 to 4 seconds normally mnathani but it can depend on interconnect/switching systems a lot same as with legacy phone, calling some places can take an insane amount of time, and tends to be worse internationally. aye bryce: i imagine voip systems are actually quicker than non voip. in general. sometimes you hear it changing too now i have to test it there is an SPA3102 connected to an analog phone which uses a voip.ms account << which is originating the call not sure if that changes anything 4 or 5 seconds just now then 7 or 8 seconds the second time. wow that's landline to cell and going off the ring of cell rather than of phone 3 seconds other way around but it rung on cell before that also strangely my cell isn't showing all the callerid information i wonder if cell being slow is partially because the phone falls asleep calling my voip.ms line via at&t mobility, it rings within 2 seconds of starting the call on my cell and it rings in my office before i hear the ringing tone on the mobile That's what she said!! HAW HAW BRYCEBOT UR SO GUD BryceBot: no Oh, okay... I'm sorry. 'and it rings in my office before i hear the ringing tone on the mobile' same w/flowroute and vitelity thats pstn to voip? yes how about voip to pstn? too lazy to get the device and dial out it's upstairs i'm 9ms from the pop i use in denver on voip.ms anyway 17ms to vitelity and similar to flowroute m0unds: do you also get longer delay calling cell from voip? i'd never really paid attention or noticed before not that i've noticed it terminates quickly which voip provider has best call quality? it was only when i tried :) mnathani: they're all the same pretty much ie terrible. the codec used on a mobile is likely going to sound shittier than voup as long as you use g711 through you're doing the best you can pretty much. voip I would be willing to pay more for a premium service for most networks anyway m0unds: exactly. and everyone uses mobile skype works way better :) tmo and at&t sound ok, sprint and verizon both sound like ass in nm at least they're introducing hd voice here, but not between providers :( i wonder how hd voice to landline would be or to voip that's so lame i guess it's probably a pain to switch it bw providers vs calls on the same provider maybe in the future well we have 3 mobile providers here and only 2 of them are doing hd voice. Fun fact: my watch shows the incoming call notification before my phone actually rings, by several seconds. yeah i'm hoping. can you do hd voice between providers there? brycec: fancy. which watch? Pebble i like the displays on those is that a smart watch? Yes i'd have a hard time giving up my beat up old g-shock though i kind of read up a bit about smart watches, and they looked like they may be good in the future (so the call has reached my cell phone, in order to be pushed to my watch, before the phone rings) and that the samsung one was pretty good but samsung specific. how do you find having a smart watch in general? lol "hdvoice landline" there are technical limitations... brycec: well voip.. (inherent to electrical telephony and the systems built around it) brycec: but ther eisn't really. the codecs better than gsm. or whatever codec is being used normally so even if it's terminating at 8k it'll still be better. There isn't a codec in in landline phones until the wiring is terminated, and by then it's fairly meh (source: I design telephony equipment at my day job) brycec: i'm talknig about the codecs on mobile networks. But I wasn't :p That's what she said!! BryceBot: no Oh, okay... I'm sorry. 'But I wasn't :p' mercutio: Smartwatch is pretty handy, I like it a lot. BryceBot: well i was trying to say that hd voice should still help, even if terminating on boring old isdn. uhh what, why does bryce terminate to the bot grr. Blame your client :p maybe the bot should be called botbryice. I think that gives the wrong impression i get brycec before BryceBot weechat knows (tm) I get BryceBot, but then... I am brycec you shouldn't be speaking to yourself That's what she said!! weechat is configurable to tab-complete with whomever spoke recently. m0unds: i'm using weechat. yea, i think it does it by default oh now i get brycec, weird. haha oh maybe that's what's happening how do we make bot talk i want a big sausage That's what she said!! BryceBot: o/ \o BryceBot: Hi BryceBot Hello to you too, brycec yip you got it etc when brycebot talks most recently it tabl completes to him and you never know when he'll talk ! where i have the most call quality issues is when hitting ivr systems and going international normally. s/he/it/ witre i have tit most call quality issues is witn hitting ivr systems and going international normally. or otherwise being shit. haha lol s/tit/bananas s/l/s/ sos my point being that BryceBot is an "it" with a name like bryce? it's a name like "BryceBot" PS "bryce" is an androgynous name, equally male and female s/Bryce/Potato it's a name like "PotatoBot" oh really. i didn't realise that. lol m0unds you need to move to Boise... it's always male around here considere dit considered also eww, m0unds kidding haha interesting http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bryce mercutio: It's always been male around my house too :P But apparently it's a woman's name too Urban Dictionary: "bryce" bryce a guy who is excellent in bed, and you are amazed of his capabilities @ud Bryce 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" @wiki Bryce Dallas Howard Bryce Dallas Howard :: Bryce Dallas Howard (born March 2, 1981) is an American film actress, writer and director.

JC_Denton: interesting question I know dedi at ARP start at 8 GB any reason why you don't want a dedicated box ? What's more is that a 4GB VPS is $80/mo, an 8GB dedi is $129/mo (plus more disk space, CPU, bw, etc) although dedicated the disk is not RAID / redundant by default VPS disk is on a RAID 10 array But dedi you can get an SSD 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. brycec: perhaps up_the_irons can build a custom VPS with better pricing than base + addons with that much RAM JC_Denton: i'd go dedicated with 8gb of ram anyway myself. then you can get 16gb even yeah, dedi is my current thought - i was just curious though since i had seen some providers with 8 gb VMs yaeh some do usually it's in a hybrid situation for such things you could probably get it if requesting it there are certain advantages to vm's. like if the node has an issue, you don't have to do as much you could run your own Virtual Instance on top of the dedicated box, giving you more control and ability to snapshot, clone etc that's what i'm doing mnathani ;) i have xen on arp dedicated. kvm? ahh i been using xen for years. i prefer kvm if having no root and so i can run openbsd for my personal vm but if you just want to run virtual machines and have basic node access xen is fine. what os is the host ubuntu or is xen a bare metal hypervisor That's what she said!! BryceBot: no Oh, okay... I'm sorry. 'or is xen a bare metal hypervisor' xen is bare metal hypervisor but you still have dom0 that controls file systems etc i'm using zfs on linux i used to use opensolaris/xen with zfs. any RAID ? 3 hard-disks i think yeah 3x1tb. raid 10 at start of disk then zfs in raidz i'm hardly using any disk space it seems atm. is OpenSolaris still maintained / any good? you raise your iops with 3 disks. mnathani: no mnathani: that's why i'm using linux now. but before oracle i used opensolaris for a while you folllowing the systemd vs init discussion? yes i use arch linux at home i hate sytemctl but kind of like it That's what she said!! it's kind of like saying you like windows. or that apple has nice hardware. systemctl is pretty cool, but it can be damn annnoying. i still get confused by it i always liked /etc/rc.local myself and /etc/rc.conf there's something blaringly obvious about having everything that's happening in a small space. it's kind of like that feeling when you can look at a perl script and it's only one page vs one that's 20 pages. you're not looking for what's relevant, it's right there in front of you. where systemctl is cool is things like: systemd-analyze blame and without blame Startup finished in 3.441s (firmware) + 5.265s (loader) + 2.908s (kernel) + 11.470s (userspace) = 23.085s i kind of think that things are getting a bit too complicated though. That's what she said!!
