15:43.21GoGiwhat does eMMC mean? can that be swapped?
15:44.31DocScrutinizer05eMMC is embedded MMC, a chip that's soldered to board
15:45.19DocScrutinizer05it has 8bit databus and thus supposed to be twice tha bandwidth/max-speed as a 4-bit (u)SD
15:45.41DocScrutinizer053 furthe bb-xM arrived
15:51.29GoGiok
15:52.15DocScrutinizer05tme for an unboxing session
16:02.26DocScrutinizer05one is even in original unopened antistatic bag \o/
16:03.25DocScrutinizer05Thanks you Vladimir! :-)
16:03.43DocScrutinizer05tosses over an ebay-thumbs-up rating

16:32.21NokiabotPhusssssss
16:39.43DocScrutinizer05wut?
16:40.39Nokiabot@Doc can you help a bit its ot though
16:41.40NokiabotI want infobot to talk on a channel so i do i do it?
16:42.39DocScrutinizer05you ask me to make infobot join, given you are one of the ops or even owner of that chan. If you're not, you need to make the ops ask me (or Tim Riker)
16:43.31NokiabotO o
16:44.05NokiabotThen no go :( thanx
16:44.13DocScrutinizer05general freenode policy: no bot in channel without permission of channel management
16:44.35NokiabotBad policy
16:44.40DocScrutinizer05good policy
16:45.57NokiabotNo thats preventing novice trolls to troll and using ~useful commands there
16:46.20DocScrutinizer05particularly log bots are actually discouraged by freenode rules, and you MUST announce in channel topic or other conveniently visible place when you're logging the channel
16:46.44kerio*when you're logging the channel in a public place
16:46.51kerioprivate logs are obviously permitted
16:46.55DocScrutinizer05meh
16:46.55NokiabotHumm thats good
16:47.00kerioas any sort of ban would be unenforceable anyway
16:48.04DocScrutinizer05reminds my of the juristic disoutes if RAM is actually holding a *copy* of streamed media
16:48.17DocScrutinizer05disputes*
16:48.46NokiabotWell i was trying ~poettering ~systemd cabal ~lobotomy ~wiki on #systemd
16:49.06DocScrutinizer05very good you didn't succeed
16:49.31NokiabotWell its ot lets leave it:)
16:50.36DocScrutinizer05yeah, and I left #systemd after 3s I needed to read topic
16:50.45DocScrutinizer05puked later
16:51.26DocScrutinizer05"no, it cannot rad mail... yet"  --  maybe that's meant to be funny. It's absolutely not
16:51.34DocScrutinizer05read*
16:53.07DocScrutinizer05systemd cabal is the most toxic to linux group of lads I could think of
16:53.13NokiabotHumm i read a byte on systemd and it seems a improvement to me though it was a poettering article which let me believe good things
16:54.56NokiabotI also really disliked that i cant read mail stuf on topic i.e the top part of irc window
16:56.02DocScrutinizer05no idea. I just wait for "systemd now finally can do POP3 and SMTP"
16:56.54DocScrutinizer05maybe we eventually see the evil systemd vs akonadi war ;-P
16:58.14kerioDocScrutinizer05: well
16:58.19DocScrutinizer05will be way worse than the linux vs windows vs apple wars
16:58.23kerioa MTA is an integral part of a unix system!
16:58.33NokiabotLooks i i need to read a bit more :)
16:59.17DocScrutinizer05kerio: can we have a kill-poettering integral part too?
17:01.06NokiabotDocscrutnizer05:like to tell why a massive bunch of devs and people are getting ticked of systemd
17:01.28DocScrutinizer05sorry, no idea
17:01.52NokiabotHumm
17:01.54DocScrutinizer05prolly a "poettering's friends and alter-egos" tag
17:02.44kerioDocScrutinizer05: akonadi-journald integration, obviously
17:03.27DocScrutinizer05hopes for kerio keeping his ideas secret until patented
17:03.34NIN101http://uselessd.darknedgy.net/  - " project which aims to reduce systemd to a base initd, process supervisor and transactional dependency system, while minimizing intrusiveness and isolationism. Basically, it’s systemd with the superfluous stuff cut out,"
17:04.44DocScrutinizer05NIN101: sounds like "let's distill something faintly digestible out of this sewer
17:04.56NokiabotWhats that second sim 5mm recession needed in backcover and what is that with dual standby i mean sure dual standby is moar of the time a waste of energy but if there are plans of dual sim then how is it gonna implemented ?
17:05.02drathirDocScrutinizer05: osso-startup-wizard was the correct one package...
17:05.45DocScrutinizer05drathir: I think I confirmed that when you asked?
17:06.02drathirkerio: DocScrutinizer05 and all other mot mentioned who help to target thanks a lot...
17:06.50drathirDocScrutinizer05: yea, and now again cornirm its work Linux Nokia-N900 2.6.28.10-power52 #1 PREEMPT Sat Apr 6 11:59:23 UTC 2013 armv7l GNU/Linux
17:07.09drathiraccess w/o lcd...
17:07.16NokiabotDocscrutinizer:read my avove post as forgot to highlit :p
17:08.00DocScrutinizer05Nokiabot: you got that wrong. When you want to access 2nd SIM slot, you need a slot which you have to make first. Same with hackerbus and NFC antenna connectors which will be located under the plastic "bridge" next to hinge of uSD tray
17:09.49DocScrutinizer05for Neo900 plans about dual SIM support: we want to get a multiplexer that swaps SIM on user interaction. The modem cannot do dual standby (yet) - though we plan to implement our mux in a way so a firmware update to modem could actually enable dual standby
17:11.11NokiabotDocscrutnizer05:well thats a nice touch but not convenient as there is no possiblity of neo900 specific housing :(
17:11.45DocScrutinizer05there's actually one advantage of our dual SIM mux over manual swapping of SIM cards or dual-SIM adapters you could insert to the one SIM slot of a phone: the NFC can use the secondary SIM as Secure Element while phone is using primary SIM for phonecalls and data. Or vice versa
17:12.02DocScrutinizer05Nokiabot: sorry?
17:14.13NokiabotDocscrutinizer05:i mean if neo900 ug made housing also there would be lot more good things in a more convinent manner :)
17:14.24mvaenskaeNokiabot: housing is expensive
17:14.33DocScrutinizer05we're not making any housing
17:14.34mvaenskaecustom cases are extremely costly
17:14.42DocScrutinizer05that'S the whole point of Neo900
17:14.44NokiabotBut thats not a possiblity now
17:15.25mvaenskaeNokiabot: if there was custom housing i guess the neo900 was around 1500 eur per device
17:15.54mvaenskaeand that would be for many people too expensive to really support
17:16.11DocScrutinizer05if we would have had option to make our own ID, then it would neither be called Neo900 nor would it have a tiny LCD, it would more look like a Samsung Note-II with hardware keyboard
17:16.21NokiabotDocscrutnizer05:i know that :)
17:16.22mvaenskaeat least there are "prebuilt" cases, get an old nokia n900 and you can reuse them :)
17:17.07DocScrutinizer05mvaenskae: more. way more
17:17.58NokiabotAnd that only limiting factor to neo900 or else as doc said it would have been something else
17:17.59mvaenskaehm, i might have a wrong understanding on what a "large" and "average" and "small" batch of new hardware is :)
17:18.09mvaenskaei assume 1000 is a small amount, but it could also be 10k :)
17:18.56DocScrutinizer05designing and building all the case parts and finding a decent LCD and then icing on top: decent digitizer aka touch panel, that alone would cost more than whole Neo900 R&D
17:19.51mvaenskaeÖ.ö
17:20.09DocScrutinizer05with 10k, we *might* start thinking about building new plastic parts. No way we get a new custom-made digitizer
17:20.22NokiabotDocscrutnizer05:the magnetic idea for stylus sensor was bad so any new thoughts insights on it :)
17:21.00DocScrutinizer05Nokiabot: the idea been actually pretty good, but not feasible. We're going simple mechanical switch
17:21.07mvaenskaewhat is an average sized batch then?
17:21.52DocScrutinizer05in industry? ask "what's the average number of batches the R&d is targeted at"
17:21.53GoGineo900 can be only used in old cases?
17:22.34DocScrutinizer05GoGi: well, you probably can make it work without case
17:22.47GoGi:)
17:23.10DocScrutinizer05but you hardly will find another non-N900 case which accommodates the NeoN board
17:23.11NokiabotDocscrutinizer05:well i really like mechanical switches but would it reailable on such little movement ??
17:23.29DocScrutinizer05sure
17:24.26DocScrutinizer05the movement is huge for switches of that size, we need to come up with suitable measures to reduce movement distance to match the switch operation distance
17:25.37DocScrutinizer05pushing in stylus easily creates a movement on any mech lever of 3..5mm. we need to reduce that to the maybe 0.5mm needed by the switch
17:26.08DocScrutinizer05a 10:1 elastic lever attached to switch should work fine
17:26.34DocScrutinizer05maybe 5:1 or even 3:1
17:27.01NokiabotDocscrutnizer05:what if a 3d printed metallic very thin cap is made for the stylus ? It would be elegant and also lock the stylus good
17:27.51DocScrutinizer05sort of similar to http://uk.farnell.com/cherry/0e61-10h0/switch-microswitch-lever-spdt-5a/dp/1608047, just 1/5 or 1/10 of the over all size
17:28.45DocScrutinizer05Nokiabot: you're free to do such metallic 3-D printing and mod your stylus. We not gonna engage into such adventure
17:29.23GoGiI mean, no one will be building new N900 cases?
17:30.59DocScrutinizer05probably not, GoGi
17:31.04GoGiok
17:31.52mvaenskaei wonder where the n900 molds are
17:31.56DocScrutinizer05but cases (the plastic) are abundance out there, on ebay. We got other parts that are way more problematic: slider mechanism, antennas, domesheet...
17:32.35DocScrutinizer05**digitizer**
17:34.30DocScrutinizer05cases you actually can get in silver, white, and even gold as well

21:25.29kerioPali: meh, sysv init
21:25.53keriolike, there's no need to go *that* minimal
21:26.51PaliI still do not know "how" should correct init daemon looks like...
21:27.26Paliand what should be able to do
21:30.17kerionothing, really
21:30.38keriopid 1 is special because it ignores sigkill
21:31.02keriobut if you think about it, most "recovery modes" for desktop linux boil down to init=/bin/sh
