00:11.26DocScrutinizer05huh?
00:12.31DocScrutinizer05I dunno if *you* are mad, for whatever reason. I'm not
00:12.45keriome neither! :3
00:13.00keriook admittedly you're spending your own money to make an open omap3 smartphone in 2015
00:13.02kerioso you are mad
00:13.06kerioas in insane
00:13.37DocScrutinizer05seems yu should not switch between booze and IRC
00:14.30keriorofl
00:14.36kerioyou know what the worst part is?
00:14.38kerioi don't even drink
00:14.59DocScrutinizer05all *I* said was: "-o ro" should have semantics of the current "-o ro,noload"
00:15.56DocScrutinizer05and to recover full option set, get a new "-o ro,load" for semantics of current "-o ro"
00:17.19DocScrutinizer05IOW switch default from load to noload
00:17.29DocScrutinizer05when ro is given
00:17.57DocScrutinizer05since that's what I and prolly a lot of others would expect
00:20.37DocScrutinizer05actually I dunno what for you'd need the ro,load option. When the volume gets mounted ro, who would care for journal spoolout?
00:21.14DocScrutinizer05I don't think the device cannot get mounted without journal spoolout
00:22.42DocScrutinizer05they call it playback, but that's not exactly what it's all about, since it not just plays back journal but also writes the stuff to 'normal' filesystem on disk. This I call spoolout
00:24.06DocScrutinizer05I'm pretty sure the fs driver can read data from journal of a (maybe ro mounted) volume just as if they were already spooled out
00:25.07DocScrutinizer05otherwise you couldn't read back blocks from that volume until journal got spooled. That's not what happens in real life afaik. Journal could take minutes until there's some idle time to spool
00:25.39DocScrutinizer05during that time the fs is "dirty" but you still can read *all* data from it
00:26.46DocScrutinizer05the driver knows when there's an entry in journal and will use that instead of plain disk fs data for reads
00:27.06bencohI think reiserfs does not return until logs have been replayed
00:27.10bencohdunno about ext*
00:27.24DocScrutinizer05o.O
00:27.50DocScrutinizer05not return from what? a write()? that wouldn't make much sense at all
00:27.55bencohno, from mount
00:28.16bencohI'm not sure though, it's just a faint memory
00:28.29DocScrutinizer05well, obviously - without -o noload - ext3/4 does same
00:28.35bencoh(from when my news spool crashed)
00:29.48*** join/#neo900 sixwheeledbeast^ (~zem@lagrange.cloud-7.de)
00:30.35DocScrutinizer05but during normal operation there are extended periods (like, dozens of seconds) during which journal is filled and fs dirty. And still you can read all data. So when the driver can do this during normal operation, why wouldn't it be able to do same after -o ro,noload ?
00:32.53DocScrutinizer05basically, to "recover" on mount -o ro.noload, it just would need to "playback" old journal, but not write the blocks to disk but instead to a new virtual journal it keeps e.g. in RAM
00:33.27DocScrutinizer05actually it always has such "virtual journal" I guess
00:33.53bencohit doesnt have to be "virtual"
00:34.00bencohit is the journal :)
00:34.10bencohjust loaded in ram
00:34.12DocScrutinizer05sure, you could build it on another volume too
00:34.35bencohand yeah I get your point
00:34.44bencohdunno why they decided otherwise
00:34.54DocScrutinizer05they didn't
00:35.07DocScrutinizer05aiui they simply picked a very mad default
00:35.10bencohlooks like they did at least for mount ro without noload
00:35.16bencohyeah
00:36.59DocScrutinizer05:-)
00:38.18DocScrutinizer05me learn: don't trust "-o ro", check twice, in case you wanna make sure your valuable disk doesn't get changed at all
00:39.02DocScrutinizer05e.g. for forensics, or disaster recovery
00:41.45DocScrutinizer05*ideally* you'd trow that switch in that cable to the "lock" position and thus cut the write_enable signal, but hey, I guess that's too old style and doesn't work anymore nowadays (if it *ever* works like this for ATA and beyond)
00:41.57DocScrutinizer05worked*
00:42.32DocScrutinizer05had such switch in his Amiga floppy disk
00:43.14DocScrutinizer05also had a two color LED in that floppy, to show read and write access in different color
00:43.38bencoh00:43 < bencoh> kerio: lvm snapshots :)
00:44.22DocScrutinizer05useless for forensics
00:44.39bencohfor forensics I dd
00:44.46DocScrutinizer05unless it already been a lvm volume
00:44.58bencohbut yeah I was talking about lvm volumes
00:45.18bencohI hardly use bare fs
00:45.21DocScrutinizer05sure, usually you dd. If you want to play safe and not just "have a quick peek what's up"
00:45.22kerioit's not like you are allowed to really touch the actual hard drive beyond a very safe one-pass read
00:45.31kerioin forensics
00:45.39keriolike, the less you do with the evidence, the better
00:46.03DocScrutinizer05exactly
00:46.22bencohbut why ? evidence tampering is t
00:46.27bencohfun* !
00:47.27DocScrutinizer05I'd feel like the jackass when that dang automounter mounts the volume, and even my safety measure udev <bus> -o ro would fail to stop writing to the drive
00:47.47keriohahaha
00:47.51bencohDocScrutinizer05: think about systemd
00:47.52kerioyeah, automounter can go fuck itself
00:48.00bencohwhat will you do then :>
00:48.02DocScrutinizer05see bencoh
00:48.09keriohow do you prevent any write on os x, i wonder
00:48.16bencohkerio: you dont
00:48.19kerioi think you can't, yeah
00:48.37keriowell ok maybe you stop the automounter then you connect the disk and then you mount read only carefully?
00:48.58bencohI think it'll still do stuff in your back
00:49.15keriothe only sensible option is a linux box i think
00:49.37bencohor a bsd
00:49.40DocScrutinizer05oooh systemd, lemme pastebin some real fun for you
00:49.42keriothat's cheating

03:00.31wpwraknow it counts. thanks ! :)
03:00.42DocScrutinizer05nmap wasn't too sure about OS guess
03:01.16wpwrakwow. exactly at 00:00 the sirens of fire trucks started. seems that someone just couldn't wait to make a mess :)
03:01.48DocScrutinizer05or it's the firebrigade's way to celebrate new year
03:02.21wpwraki don't think it's their most happy day of the year :)
03:03.01DocScrutinizer05prolly some wino smoked a cracker and threw the cigar. that "gag" happens each new year
03:03.34wpwrakat xmas (when we also have fireworks), an illuminated globe (with candle inside) landed on a factory and burned it to the ground. i'm sure the firefighters enjoyed that little extra celebration :)
03:04.45DocScrutinizer05ooh, the fine asian style hot air balloons, that prolly once got invented to set enemy armies on fire?
03:06.17wpwrakmust be something like that, yes. and they work really well. there's some major damage from the critters every year.
03:06.41DocScrutinizer05which again makes me wonder if a mix of 2 parts H2 and one part O2 would be lighter than air
03:07.27DocScrutinizer05I guess using acetylene or methane wouldn't work
03:08.44DocScrutinizer05makes a mental note for next year's mini war hour
03:13.10DocScrutinizer05I'm pretty sure those hot air fire balloons are completely totally outlawed here
03:14.49wpwrakthey may be forbidden here, too. but who cares :)
03:15.46DocScrutinizer05well, here people are simply too lazy to build such delicate stuff
03:15.54DocScrutinizer05;-)
03:16.36DocScrutinizer05since no shop sells those things, they are never seen anywhere
03:17.38wpwrakin my area they seem to be sensible enough to not use the stuff either. none of the critter to see in the surrounding area.
03:18.07DocScrutinizer05people who want illegal "good" stuff import Polish or Czech crackers and destroy phone booths and bus waiting sheds

17:41.09DocScrutinizer05ohmy, I prolly cheered too early, qwest.net still has lots of packet loss

17:48.35keriotcp packet loss is to be expected
17:48.38keriowith big throughput
17:53.52DocScrutinizer05I know
17:54.29DocScrutinizer05but not 10%, when the throughput is not expected to exceed 1% of available bw
17:54.39kerio*your* bandwidth, sure
17:54.43keriowhat about the target's bandwidth?
17:54.51DocScrutinizer05no, target bw, i'm not an idiot
17:56.13DocScrutinizer05I even installed and configured some ethernet networks, back when it was cheapernet still, which had *real* bandwith/collision issues
17:56.57DocScrutinizer0510base2, ya know? ;-)
17:57.07kerioethernet still has collision issues if you're using a hub, doesn't it
17:57.13kerioi mean, nobody uses a hub anymore
17:57.14keriobut still :>
17:57.37kerioi think the first ethernet i ever used was 100baseT
17:57.37DocScrutinizer05anyway, seems to stabilize: 12. rikers.org                                                                                                                                      0.4%   941  204.4 625.6 198.2 2866. 616.2
17:59.12DocScrutinizer05I guess it's damn hard to *get* a hub nowadays, which is a sort of a pity for network admins who want to snoop traffic for diagnostic purposes
18:00.23DocScrutinizer05I think some 8 or so years ago, german c't mag had subscription incentive of a hub they dug up somewhere
18:01.33keriodon't most "sophisticated" switches/routers have a mode where every packet is sent to a specific interface?
18:01.41kerioalso arp poisoning
18:03.55DocScrutinizer05yeah, there are ways to do stuff with switch, but they are way less straight forward and convenient than with a hub, and usually need a managed switch
18:04.43DocScrutinizer05not ideal for solid testing not tampered with by some element that rewrites packet headers
18:04.53kerioto be completely fair
18:05.01kerioto do that kind of testing you should probably use a computer with two ethernet cards
18:05.20DocScrutinizer05that's the standard approach noawadays, with obvious downsides
18:06.41kerioDocScrutinizer05: you know what's the thing that makes me the most sad
18:06.53kerioos x has no way to pair up wifi and ethernet
18:07.07DocScrutinizer05really nasty: you can't find true hubs since idiots call their switches "hub": http://www.ebay.com/bhp/ethernet-hub
18:08.06kerio"hub -switch" returns a bike wheel as the first result

18:11.04DocScrutinizer05oops sorry for that link
18:11.29kerioaren't ethernet hubs actually just made of wires
18:11.53keriolike, you can chain ethernet cables together in a way that actually makes a hub
18:13.22OksanaWell, truly intelligent hub would make sure that packets do not collide with each other? Like trains if you join the tracks together?
18:14.02DocScrutinizer05no, a hub is active. It's not "just made of wires"
18:14.11OksanaI do not know difference between "hub", "modem", "router", though...
18:14.38DocScrutinizer05http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_hub
18:14.41OksanaOr, do not remember. Should go to sleep, actually.
18:15.24kerioooh this is what i was thinking of
18:15.27keriohttp://hackaday.com/2008/09/14/passive-networking-tap/
18:20.51DocScrutinizer05massive violation of termination specs
18:21.11DocScrutinizer05the baseT cables still are transmission lines
18:23.14DocScrutinizer05in base2 (and base5) you had terminators which where plugs with integrated termination resistor which you placed on the end points of your line. In baseT those termination resistors moved into PHY of the NIC
18:25.02DocScrutinizer05thus such passive networking tap is maybe a nice quick-n-dirty hack but for sure not suited for proper diagnostics. Odds are it just introduces the transmission errors you observe with it
18:28.03keriolol
18:28.54DocScrutinizer05((THAT is what you get)) found another offer for EN-104: 222USD ;-P
18:29.35DocScrutinizer05you see it's real professional instrumentation, with real professional prices ;-)
18:31.48DocScrutinizer05now ponder you could sell 20 or 30 of those per month. Buy at USD 13.-, sell at USD 222.-
18:32.14wpwrakand those networks were real buses. so if one terminator was missing, dozens of stations were in trouble :)
18:32.24DocScrutinizer05I wonder if there are 30 idiots per month to be found on this planet

19:17.08DocScrutinizer05unmounting them chips from their PoP position is prone to damage them. For sure more than using a fresh sealed chip
19:17.32vakkovbtw, i don't have a reworking station @ london
19:18.19DocScrutinizer05anyway, I could ask Nikolaus to pack a 1GB PoP into an envelope and send it to you per airmail
19:18.32DocScrutinizer05(or 2)
19:19.13vakkovthe guys here (at sofia) removed many PoPs to fix some water damaged phones. but sill - they have more experience with chips than me
19:19.21DocScrutinizer05the least thing I could do for you :-9
19:19.32vakkovokay, that would be great!
19:19.58DocScrutinizer05please send your mail addr to contact@

19:43.53mvaenskaehm, i should find some time the next weeks and setup the n900 again
19:44.40mvaenskaeand maybe procure a broken one somewhere to have a case for my upcoming neo900 :) but i am no friend of paypal D:
19:49.37mvaenskaeDocScrutinizer05: not sure how your stance on ebay is but maybe check this out, still today http://www.ebay.de/itm/Nokia-N900-groses-Ersatzteillager-/321626344165?pt=DE_Handy_s&hash=item4ae26c8ae5
19:57.44mvaenskaedoes anyone know if there exist n900 devices with simlocks?
20:03.31mvaenskaewill be back later
20:08.13DocScrutinizer05mvaenskae: (ebay) interesting
20:08.20DocScrutinizer05simlock: yes exists
20:08.31jake42DocScrutinizer05: he is gone
20:08.36DocScrutinizer05seen
20:08.51jake42:-)
20:09.14DocScrutinizer05too, for the long pending shower and food
20:14.00kerioDocScrutinizer05: it takes so fucking much to drain the n900 battery at 170mA :(
20:16.19bencohwell ... 8h :)
20:19.49kerioi should've enabled boost mode as well
20:19.50keriobut meh
20:20.14kerioi wonder if the wallcharger would complain
20:22.46DocScrutinizer05hmm?
20:23.51kerioit's connected to the wallcharger
21:10.26DocScrutinizer05so why would it discharge? you're a lousy story teller
21:11.31DocScrutinizer05if I had to guess I'd say you're trying to calibrate bq27200 with my calibrate script
21:12.17DocScrutinizer05in this case why would wallcharger complain - not to mention I couldn't figure a way how the wallcharger could do so at all
21:12.50DocScrutinizer05the only way it could "complain" is by owverload shutdown
21:15.46kerioofc i'm using the script
21:15.46DocScrutinizer05and re calibrating: it *needs* to get done at reasonably "slow" discharge rate, or it will be off a lot due to internal series resistance of LiIon cell "pretending" the cell was empty (at end voltage) while actually the cell itself still holds sufficient energy for hours and hours of _normal_ operation
21:15.52keriobut i only disabled charging
21:16.20kerioi'm discharging it at a stable 170mA, it'll give me a lower total capacity
21:16.34kerioi reckon it's better to underestimate the battery rather than to overestimate it
21:16.43DocScrutinizer05depends
21:17.34DocScrutinizer05actually no, nothing depends on battery capacity estimation really
21:17.57DocScrutinizer05it's exclusively needed for display
21:18.24DocScrutinizer05even system shutdown is not based on capacity estimation but only on voltage of cell
21:19.26DocScrutinizer05iirc iPhone for example shows everything >50% as "full"
21:19.55DocScrutinizer05depends on user expectations more than on anything else
21:21.37DocScrutinizer05since users seem to consider a "4 of 8 bars" already one step beyond doom, commercial products show any battery capacity decay only when real capacity is *significantly* lower than 3/4, often 1/2
21:22.20DocScrutinizer05even a lot of fuel gauges in cars do same
21:36.16kerioDocScrutinizer05: yeah yeah, i meant battery underestimation *for me*

23:08.06OksanaMoin. ((hoverboard...dress up)) Weird.
23:34.25DocScrutinizer05moin
23:35.56DocScrutinizer05I still wonder why we need a General Assembly establishing a pseudo "community" that every random group of rogue people is free to hijack
23:38.23DocScrutinizer05it's a blunt coup d'etat occupying and annecting the maemo community and the assets it owns
23:39.08DocScrutinizer05s/annecting/annex/
23:40.47DocScrutinizer05people who gave donation to HiFo are not supposed to have to get member of any e.V. to execute their legitimate right to decide what's going to happen with those
23:41.54DocScrutinizer05at the time the donations were done, such right been established via council and the community electorate voting the members of council
23:43.52DocScrutinizer05no matter how many community members actually can get bothered to become member of e.V. - the e.V. members will never become a valid maemo community, since there's only one such community and that is the one consisting of maemo.org account holders
23:44.03OksanaYes, but the legalities probably require personal info (full name, and such). Rather than force all *.maemo.org members to provide their personal data (which would cause lots of resistance), they create GA as active-members front for legalities.
23:44.32DocScrutinizer05what sort of "democracy" is THAT?
23:46.03OksanaIt would have been even funnier, had the two Councils not merged by now. Imagine: *.maemo.org members electing two Councils, GA electing one Board, Board executing rulings of two Councils and one GA...
23:46.24DocScrutinizer05what damn two councils??
23:46.50OksanaMaemo Council and Hildon Foundation Council. They merged a year or two ago, remember?..
23:47.03DocScrutinizer05errr nooooo
23:47.23*** join/#neo900 lexik (~lexik@99.182.broadband9.iol.cz)
23:47.45DocScrutinizer05it was just me who promised to do that when running for his 2nd(?) council term
23:48.02DocScrutinizer05and I did, since I usually do what I promise
23:49.26DocScrutinizer05actually there never really been two councils, that been an artifact from brainless interpretation of HiFo bylaws, ba a patent lawyer
23:49.42DocScrutinizer05by*
23:51.23DocScrutinizer05actually the guys who *wrote* the HiFo bylaws always meeant HiFo council == Maemo Council  == The One Council. From very beginning of HiFo
23:51.54DocScrutinizer05the patent lawyer said "that's not the words in the bylaws"
23:52.01Oksana:-) Even funnier than I remembered it.
23:52.17DocScrutinizer05...and insisted in separate votes for a HiFo council
23:53.29DocScrutinizer05now we got another bright guy who invented not only a e.V council but already a complete e.V community
23:54.12DocScrutinizer05by invention of the e.V council he thinks he abolished The One Council
23:55.04DocScrutinizer05by invention of GA aka e.V. community he thinks he can substitute The Maemo Community
23:55.53DocScrutinizer05I completely lack to see the legitimation for all that mess
23:56.20OksanaI hope that he learnt from the past, and e.V. council is specifically equal to The One Council.
23:57.07DocScrutinizer05not really since said guy seems to think the e.V bylaws replace the maemo council rules
23:58.02OksanaAnd I can see how some legal requirements (we need to be sure that the voters are real people!) may have forced e.V. to have "General Assembly" as a subset of The Maemo Community.
23:58.38Oksanagoing to compare e.V. Council bylaws against Maemo Council bylaws
23:58.45wpwrakit's quite fascinating if you think that this whole ecosystem of politrollicians basically relies on us to feed them ;-) i mean, without neo900, all that's left of maemo are whatever trace amounts if it live on in sailfish, and the rotting remains of nokia, right ?
23:58.54DocScrutinizer05nobody needs that damn e.V to start with. How is maemo community interested or involved about the legal requirements of such e.V then?
23:59.11bencohwpwrak: eww we're not dead yet :p
