01:03 echosystm are there any catches using armhf?

01:03 echosystm i've seen that armel is often the only one supported, due to binary-only drivers and stuff

01:06 echosystm nevermind, just found an answer on the forum

01:15 Punkley :)

01:15 Punkley armhf drivers are still pretty new.

01:24 echosystm i just want a cubox for torrents and nfs/smb

01:24 echosystm i should be fine using latest distros + armhf right?

01:24 echosystm i assume all the IO stuff is open source

01:25 _rmk_ it is, it's just the graphics and video decode which isn't 100% open

01:25 echosystm cool

01:25 echosystm sounds great!

01:25 echosystm how long do cuboxes usually take to arrive?

01:25 echosystm im in the USA

01:26 _rmk_ in my experience, they turn up unexpectedly, particularly when I'm abroad. :)

01:26 echosystm are we talking days, weeks, or months?

01:26 _rmk_ (mine came into my posession through me mentioning to someone that I was in Canada... and they posted it to the place I was staying)

01:27 echosystm i'm actually only in the usa for another month and a bit

01:27 _rmk_ and I was just told it was a "present"

01:27 _rmk_ echosystm: so, sorry, can't say, I've never had one direct from solid-run

01:27 echosystm no problem

01:52 echosystm thanks for your help guys

03:46 Leny Hi

11:48 dotarray and it has to be in the 40s for a few days for it to be actually hot.

11:48 mongrol spose its not as humid as up here

11:48 Punkley_Chillin nope

11:48 _rmk_ I'd much rather 10°C than 40°C

11:48 Coburn [20:45:02] I work at Internode BTW :)

11:48 Coburn Say, what's your deals on mobile broadband?

11:48 Punkley_Chillin really

11:49 Coburn I'm getting 5GB for $30 via "Communtiy Telco"

11:49 Punkley_Chillin we have some of them atm

11:49 Coburn Can you beat that?

11:49 Coburn I'm already 96% full

11:49 Punkley_Chillin what do I look like a sales guy :)

11:49 Coburn of the quota

11:49 Coburn damn Wii U stole up my data

11:49 Coburn Updates, and some DLC freebies

11:50 mongrol punk: is there a way to add linux distro's to teh file mirror?

11:50 Punkley_Chillin looks

11:50 Punkley_Chillin mongrol yer there is what have u been working on?

11:51 Punkley_Chillin $40

11:51 Coburn What's available for $30

11:51 _rmk_ this all sounds totally dotty :)

11:51 Coburn ?

11:51 Coburn OKI Turbo 9 I think

11:51 mongrol punk: not working. I've just installed Parabolagnulinux (FSF endorsed version of Arch) and noticed its seriously lacking mirrors

11:51 Punkley_Chillin 5gb

11:51 Coburn Need to give them a power on and print

11:52 Coburn Punkley_Chillin: bleh, that's what I'm paying for atm

11:52 Punkley_Chillin u talking about Internodes, mirror or solid runs?

11:52 mongrol sorry, nodes

11:52 Coburn > Parabolagnulinux

11:52 Punkley_Chillin support request I guess

11:52 Coburn That's a mouthful

11:52 mongrol punk, k ta

11:53 Coburn Although 9GB for $40... sounds very tempting

11:53 Punkley_Chillin anyway lets not talk about Internode cause that is a lot like work :)

11:53 Coburn Punkley_Chillin: final question: is gaming over 3G on internode servers free?

11:53 Punkley_Chillin no

11:53 Coburn what about downloading files off your mirror over 3g

11:53 Coburn ?

11:53 Punkley_Chillin nothing is.

11:54 Coburn Pfft

11:54 Punkley_Chillin need dsl :)

11:54 Coburn I would if I could

11:54 Coburn but my home is out in the sticks

11:55 Punkley_Chillin move :)

11:55 Coburn not an option

11:55 _rmk_ or get a load of carrier pigeons

11:55 Punkley_Chillin build a ppp multilink connection with a cubox on 5 3g cards :)

11:56 dotarray "Parabolagnulinux" sounds like a pasta dish.

11:56 Punkley_Chillin sounds like that wiered mexican pasta thing you made last night :)

11:57 Coburn easy way out

11:57 Coburn Arch FSF edition

11:57 Coburn nuff said

11:57 Coburn also, Punkley_Chillin, wouldn't that be a lagtastic thing?

11:57 Coburn Unless it's various 3G Modems like a round robin

11:57 Coburn if one's busy, then the other gets used

11:57 Punkley_Chillin that is what multilink would do :)

11:58 mongrol hehe

11:59 mongrol does xbmc on the cubox use GLES for interface accel?

11:59 Coburn not sire

12:00 Coburn y?

12:00 mongrol ah, that be a big hindrence to WAF

12:00 Punkley_Chillin Between 3 March and 17 March 2008, Adelaide recorded consecutive maximum temperatures of 35C

12:00 Coburn waf?

12:01 mongrol wife acceptance factor

12:01 mongrol my plan is to replace my Mythtv backend with a cubox

12:01 mongrol would love to replace the frontend with an ARM device too

12:03 Coburn I use a old laptop + old laptop windows setup for kitchen tv

12:03 Coburn Laptop #1 is the MediaPortal server

12:04 Coburn It does all the hoovey doovey of signal processing

12:04 Coburn Laptop #2 can only handle SD, because it's too weak (Pentium 4 M with HT)

12:04 Coburn SD video*

12:04 Coburn So laptop 1 is near a wall plugged into AC and also aerial

12:05 Coburn and laptop 2 sits on laptop divider

12:05 Coburn erm

12:05 Coburn kitchen divder*

12:13 mongrol I've just had a good idea

12:13 dotarray did it hurt?

12:13 mongrol replace backend with cubox, offload commerical tagging onto front end (which still runs a celeron)

12:14 mongrol then it only hurst when I replace the FE with a Pi

12:15 Coburn [21:13:43] did it hurt? <- ???

12:16 dotarray did it hurt when mongrol had his good idea :)

12:22 Coburn not sure

12:22 mongrol nope

12:23 mongrol sometimes they do, but I've had enough drink to dampen it

18:42 rabeeh all: http://www.solid-run.com/store/products/3-cubox-pro-miniature-computer-pre-order-now

18:42 rabeeh 2GB version online

19:17 Coolgeek great !

19:18 Coolgeek but too much money for me

19:18 Coolgeek I will stay with cubox 1st

19:18 Coolgeek it suits me well :)
