00:00.54wethrinMorning!
00:03.19sarahli:P
00:28.38*** join/#gllug resuDaed (~sparrow@82-35-125-146.cable.ubr01.enfi.blueyonder.co.uk)
00:28.46resuDaedanyone around?
00:29.02Marios_yes
00:29.17resuDaedMarios_ : you got any experience with gnupg?
00:29.48Marios_no I am sorry
00:29.55Marios_I use PGP
00:30.44resuDaedI have an important email -- and I have never really bothered with *pg before -- tried decoding it and got ...
00:31.37resuDaedgpg: encrypted with ELG-E key, ID C15F4F5E
00:31.37resuDaedgpg: decryption failed: secret key not available
00:32.19resuDaedthis was from a hosting company -- there has been no exchange of keys
00:36.08Marios_try #gnupg
00:36.08Marios_probably they can help u there
00:36.12wethrinWhat key did they encrypt with?
00:36.35wethrinGah. Broken PC. Again.
00:37.15Marios_what happened Wethrin?
00:37.21wethrinhmm.....dodgy with the memory, it seems
00:37.34Marios_hmm
00:45.06resuDaedwethrin : I have no idea what key they would have encrypted with -- scoured their site for some info on something meaningful and found nothing
00:46.06highburyyou just may need to find out what their public key is
00:49.59evangineerwhat hosting company?
00:50.13wethrinHm. This motherboard ain't liking this 256MB of RAM
00:50.33wethrinWhich means I can't have 512M in that PC. Ho hum. I guess 384 will have to do.
00:50.42evangineerresuDaed: what hosting company?
00:50.55wethrinFuckit. I'm fed up with PCs hassling me.
00:51.03resuDaedevangineer : bytemark-hosting.co.uk
00:51.15resuDaedthought I'd give them a try
00:51.37Marios_wethrin << how about 256 + 128 + 128
00:52.06wethrinCan't do due to physical constraints
00:52.14Marios_I see
00:52.44wethrinBleh. Well, Solaris will work with 384MB RAM happily, won't it?
00:53.04Marios_yeah
00:53.13Marios_how many PCs you own ?
00:53.15Marios_;)
00:53.15wethrinThat's good enough. Win2k runs easily with that
00:53.26wethrinToo many. Would like to get rid of some if possible :)
00:53.38wethrinSo if someone can get me an IDE Sun machine
00:53.50evangineerresuDaed: https://secure.bytemark.co.uk/pgp/index.php
00:54.15Marios_hehehe
00:54.35resuDaedevangineer : how you find that?
00:54.52evangineerI looked! ;-)
00:55.03Marios_lol
00:55.08resuDaedlinked to of 'oogled?
00:55.16resuDaeds/of/or
00:55.20Marios_wethrin << do you have SUN machines too ?
00:56.08evangineerI didn't google, I looked through the site methodically for some sort of contact page that would have the keys
00:57.36resuDaedevangineer : they are the public keys
00:57.41resuDaed(obviously)
00:58.05resuDaedbut I need to decrypt
00:58.34Marios_I think you decrypt using these keys
00:58.46wethrinMarios_: Yes
00:59.14Marios_wethrin << I wanna get one before I leave from here..but they quite expensive
01:00.24evangineerresuDaed: I'm not much of a gpg expert myself (I use it mainly for verifying checksums)
01:00.44evangineeryou should be able to do a gpg --import on the public key
01:00.48resuDaedI have never used any *pgs ever
01:01.56evangineeronce you have the public key in your keyring or whatever the correct phrase is.  Your hopefully gpg-enabled mail client should be able to decrypt.
01:04.03resuDaeddoing from command line (message is now a text file)
01:04.52resuDaedanyone mind
01:04.54resuDaedgpg: encrypted with 2048-bit ELG-E key, ID C15F4F5E, created 2003-02-10
01:04.54resuDaed<PROTECTED>
01:04.54resuDaedgpg: decryption failed: secret key not available
01:05.26wethrinMarios_: That depends what sort of Sun
01:05.51evangineerresuDaed: so which public key did you gpg --import?
01:06.02Marios_wethrin << what model you suggest for development ?
01:06.12wethrinRight. Well, I've used up my remaining memory. Unless I swap with other machines :)
01:06.24resuDaedevangineer : all three
01:06.40wethriner. I'll switch laptops in a couple of minutes, and then give you an answer :)
01:07.43Marios_sweet
01:07.47evangineerresuDaed: that's about exhausted my gpg knowhow. suggest you look at some docs or get help elsewhere.
01:08.16resuDaedevangineer : or wait till 9:00 when the offices open -- but I don't like that idea
01:16.46wethrinI'd get the fastest Sun you can (obviously) :)
01:17.02wethrinUltra2s are rumoured to be rather good
01:17.21wethrinU5s and U10s are probably better for development, but I have heard some complaints about them
