mnathani: dead, ordered a new one.
xales: roger
up_the_irons: my condolences
up_the_irons: mbsync user here ..
up_the_irons: the one complaint I have is that it doesn't do IPv6, I have a diff, but its not for the current version
up_the_irons: the pro side of mbsync is much less cpu
I've been reading about mbsync today. Might give it a try.
The fact that offlineimap works fine means I don't have much reason to switch ... but mbsync does seem better.
mnathani: the con side is .. if you have an unexpected shutdown (panic, battery loss, etc) sometimes the fs state is not consistent wrt the imap db it creates, so I just remove the whole folder
also, mbsync is a one shot 'sync stuff' command, and then it exits. I've created a 'staggerimap' script that syncs inbox and stuff I want to check frequently .. every 30s .. then every hour it does everything ..
toddf: you might be interested in this: https://github.com/tim-smart/node-mbsync-watcher
mnathani: danke
toddf: mike-burns : loving mbsync so far.  SOOOOOOOOOO much faster than offlineimap.
i practically stopped using offlineimap on certain folders b/c it was so slow
mbsync is orders of magnitude faster, very happy
Out of curiosity... up_the_irons are you pulling from your own mail server, or Gmail?
brycec: own server (dovecot IMAP)
Ah, cool
mbsync has docs on how to do gmail properly also
up_the_irons: thanks
np
heh I'm sure it does. I've always foiynd offlune syncing gmail to be excrutiatingly sloiw. Speeds far below the connection b/w.
*found offline *slow
I wonder how difficult it would be to just replace the wifi card in this Thinkpad..
Thinkpads are fairly repairable, just a matter of swapping the card.
phlux: if it's just one of those little minicard ones, not too hard
I have no idea what's inside of this thing
I don't even know what model it is
I just know it's a Lenovo Thinkpad Edge that I got for cheap
Nice. I too have an Thinkpad Edge of some sort
Got this one on a woot sale
Couldn't pass it up
Oh mine was a Thinkpad X130e, from 1SaleADay
I know I have an AMD Turion II..
I wonder if that can narrow it down?
It probably can, yes
http://www.cnet.com/laptops/lenovo-thinkpad-edge-15/4505-3121_7-35127154.html
that looks like it
except I have 8GB of RAM
and I don't remember if I did that myself or not..
So based on list of networking choices, it's very likely a minipcie slot.
Look underneath for a rectangular cover with a screw. One will likely be RAM, another probably the wireless. No guarantees, but this is how Thinkpads usually are built.
Ah..they're underneath, eh?
As opposed to inside? Yes!
Ok, that was dumb.
It's right underneath my trackpad
Which is a pain in the ass to get to. I had to remove my CD drive -_-
at least I know what it is now, though
mini pcie is correct
It's got two little antennas connected to it as well
so, should go intel?
even though this is an AMD chipset?
yeah
intel wlan stuff is good
And has nothing to do with AMD chipset/cpu
that too

Amazon: "Realtek Rtl8191se Hlaf Mini Pci-e Half Hight Wireless Wlan Card 802.11b/g/n 2.4 Ghz 150mbps"
Looks like that's what's in there
http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Wifi-5100-MiniPCI--512AN_HMW/dp/B009UNKSH8/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1392850276&sr=8-8&keywords=intel+minipcie
http://pro.sony.com/bbsc/ssr/product-SNCVM630/ demoing one of these today - looks fantastic
Amazon: "Intel Wifi 5100 Half Size MiniPCI-e 512AN_HMW 300m card"
Looks like that'll work
And under $2k!, It's a steal, m0unds
Looks like that'd be covered by iwlwifi
Oh that's cool, simultaneous analog and IP video.
What about an atheros card?
Alsogood.
Honestly, I don't know of any "not good" cards... there's just "unsupported," "supported", and "well supported"
yea
our price is 898 for these
well
then it has to be this shitty network extender then
m0unds: shit, that's a discount
-then
yup
you can get cards that mini-pcie
err that take mini pci-e so you can plug antennas in
"mini-pcie" isn't a verb
yeh words coming out wrong
i haven't tried wireless ac yet
but even my old intel wiresless isn't that bad
4965AGN or something
and those are real cheap on ebay, .. and probably better than those realtek
oh he was looking for straight mini pci-e anyway
phlux: hp lock laptops for what cards they can take, i dunno if lennovo do anything as annoying
I kickstarted the Almond+, looking forward to trying out AC. So far, only my N5 has an ac adapter.
I've only ever heard of HP doing the lock-in game these days.
ok
well my laptop is locked, but it has intel wireless already
only problem is that it doesn't do as high speeds on 2.4 ghz
but in real world usage it tends to do ok at distance, and at short range, but i haven't really tried in between
i dunno how reliable 2.4/5 ghz switchover is
it's single stream in 2.4 though :(
but ime single stream tends to be more reliable anyway
yea, unlicensed wireless is getting ridiculous in terms of interference
so the fewer streams, the more reliable your link will likely be
yeah i don't think 40 mhz 2.4 ghz should exist
apparently in the US they have less channels to play with, so it's probably even worse.
but some routers have been forcing 40 mhz without backing down to 20 mhz when adjacent channels are used making the situation worse.
yea. lots of isps have done a really poor job of educating customers about the featuresets of the cpes they provide. some people will buy another router and will run it in tandem with the isp-provided one
NOISE!
my neighborhood is just full of generic ISP networks, then a bunch of consumerjunk router ssids
myqwest09123488, etc
heh
i think there's something like 12 within range of my house
I have 30. :((
It might be more than 30... the list may just cap at 30... but it's fucking terrible
oh, sorry
40
hahahah
ha
it was 12 qwest
(I suspect my list is simply capped then)
still 12 (mix of qwest and centurylink-named ssids)
there's one called "setup"
adhoc network
haha
Probably an HP thinger
barely even hanging on - -97dBm
here's a fun one - 40MHz 2.4GHz primary, 40MHz 2.4GHz guest network
Can you have a guest network on the same radio with different characteristics? I don't think so.
err, second is 5ghz
err, first is
i can barely see the 5GHz radio
probably my redneck neighbor
Not uncommon, shorter wavelengths require more power to travel the same distance as a shroter wavelength
cool
ours is all unlicensed gear because it's mostly shorthaul to areas where we have no conduit for cable
proxim and solectek
not a huge fan of wireless for video though but it is what it is, haha
I wish I had a reason for such tech
one of our pole mounts was the source of the wasp(s) i found - we demo'd a bunch of cameras in a construction area and the wasps were just hanging out
damn i hate wasps :)
30?  40?
i fret when i see 6
i had annoyances copying files to local computer at the same time as using internet
half-duplex ftw
Is more than 24h to get a VPS normal?
can sometimes take 48h
typically under 24h though
Okay. Bought one last night about 1900, so I was curious. Thanks
1900 GMT - 8 ?
1900 GMT - 5
Sorry
ahh, so not even close to 24h then :)
It's now 2000 GMT - 5, 25h
Oh - I did the wrong math
actually 24h is the max now
i really don't like leaving customers hanging for 2 days
something happened to exm's order
exm: if you submit a new order i'll process it right now
up_the_irons: Thanks, I'll do that. Curiosity - do you take bitcoin?
exm: not yet
please never take fake currency like that. :)
up_the_irons: Okay, thanks. CC it is
thanks
RandalSchwartz: fake is relative :P
ok - then "volatile"
it's like paying with venezuelan dollars
or pesos
or whatever they have
something i've always wanted to know is what essence is. like my flavoured seltzer has an incredibly strong orange smell but it tastes like virtually plain water and i wish it had more flavour
sorry, wrong window
Yeah. Most people who accept it use CoinBase or BitPay and cash out immediately
up_the_irons: Order submitted
Ukranian hryvnia for now
up_the_irons - can you take the hryvnia please?
or Nambian dollars?
exm: creating now, stay tuned
up_the_irons: do you take that island country's currency where they roll a 3 ton carved stone with a transaction ledger on it in hieroglyphics to your door
;p;
whoa
hazardous: you mean new zealand?
:)
hahaha
bitcoin 0.1 alpha
"public" "transaction" "ledger"
what country is that hazardous
ancient aztec or mayan culture, I think
exm: you're all set
up_the_irons: Thanks so much!
heh bitcoin is not yet?
no problem!
rather than no
I bought the domain I'm using with bitcoin.
Easier than credit card.
And I trust the crypto, since I've analyzed most of it
But that's an argument for another channel
up_the_irons: In, thank you.
exm: awesome
ho hmm i been a customer 3 years now
i was struggling to remember how long setup took
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rai_stones
Rai stones :: Rai, or stone money (Yapese: raay), are large, circular stone disks carved out of limestone formed from aragonite and calcite crystals. Rai stones were quarried on several of the Micronesian islands, mainly Palau, but briefly on Guam as well, and transported for use as money to the island of Yap. They have been used in trade by the Yapese as a form of currency.  While the monetary system of Yap appears to use these giant...
huh.
"Rai stones were, and still are, used"
exm: this channel is quite liberal with its acceptable topics list
in other words feel free to discuss bit coin crypto
I am sure others will also find interest in the topic
brycec LIES
I *can*
hazardous: They're more like stadiums now.

fun
wish i wasn't n an aircard :/

so, it's been a while since I've played with html.  Is there a way to make a basic header and footer template,  and then include them from all other pages WITHOUT loading something heavy like PHP, or ruby, or similar?
actually, nevermind.  I'll eventually need to make database calls,  so I'll need something heavy.
javascript
It's inelegant, but it qualified as "static pages" for me :)
Essentially, boiled down to $(document).ready(function() { $("#page_content").load("templates/some.html"); }
jquery, obviously
yay, fantastic mr fox
