00:00.48wpwrakthe "other one" would be a green background
00:01.07DocScrutinizer05>>Is it possible to order a Neo900 board with only 1GB of ram hardware upgrade?<< hmmm, errr
00:06.14wpwrakthis is what it looks like here: http://neo900.org/stuff/werner/tmp/chromium-cert-info.png
00:07.48StevenC99yellow triangle is only due to mixed content on the page, then.  I guess someone is still working on that
00:09.59StevenC99in chromium, ctrl+shift+I (eye) and go into Console tab for a list
00:11.20dos1it should be mostly from static.neo900.org, which is a relict from the past - it is round-robined to bunch of other servers right now, so it can't be changed to https before removing that
00:11.32dos1but yeah, I'll take a deeper look at all this stuff later this week
00:12.04dos1we just swapped the cert from self-signed one yesterday after all :)
00:13.30StevenC99well, thanks!  I look forward to using the web shop
00:14.03DocScrutinizer05StevenC99: wait for voucher email, or till next week
00:16.11DocScrutinizer05StevenC99: we are in testing mode this week
00:17.26DocScrutinizer05StevenC99: thanks! :-)

02:05.20DocScrutinizer05OK, we sent a email letter like http://neo900.org/shop-letter to each of our 420 donors. When you donated, you should have received one. We also have sent out first 20 voucher code emails and we hope for feedback from those
02:07.49DocScrutinizer05the URL to shop is in the voucher email, to limit the amount of customers that are testing / using the shop. After sending out the last voucher emails (probably next weekend) we will officially publish the webshop URL

10:52.24wpwrakHumpelstilzchen: (wire xfer) implementing the all-or-nothing payment scheme may be very difficult with wire transfers. with credit cards it's easy
10:54.51wpwrakXTaran: i think the issue is that firefox doesn't know the chain from a CA it knows down to us, but that we (our server) could provide that information itself. it just doesn't do it yet.
10:55.39Humpelstilzchenwpwrak: still I won't get a credit card
10:55.58XTaranwpwrak: Indeed, a missing intermediate certificate is a possible reason.
10:56.44XTaranwpwrak: Oh, only credit cards? *sigh*
10:56.56XTaranI'd prefer wire-transfer, too.
10:57.09wpwrakHumpelstilzchen: inside EU, transfers are completely free, aren't they ?
10:57.32XTaranActually, not sure if wire-transfer is what I know as "Überweisung" in Germany.
10:58.04XTaranwpwrak: Depends on the banks, but it must not be more expensive than national transfers.
10:58.49wpwrakyes, should be "ueberweisung"
11:06.26jonsgerAssign an address alias for future reference. * what does this mean
11:08.14wpwrakjonsger: as i understand it, this is for your own use, if you have multiple addresses. e.g., "home", "work", etc.
11:09.00wpwrakin the checkout process, you can then change addresses just by selecting a different one (identified by that name), instead of entering it anew
11:09.17wpwraka bit of over-engineering :)
11:09.23bencohdesigned by engineers, for engineers ;p
11:09.49wpwraknaw, more like, designed by the over-engineer, for himself :)
11:09.55bencohhuhu

11:10.11wpwrakyou have no idea how many crazy things we had to hunt down and turn off in that shop
11:10.46wpwrakit's kinda like needing a flashlight and starting with las vegas on a saturday night ...
11:14.04jonsgerif I invest 1k LTE would be nice ^^
11:18.25XTaranHrm, "503 Overloaded" or "You cannot access this store from your country. We apologize for the inconvenience."? The page shows me both. I find especially the latter very disturbing.
11:20.09wpwrakdid you try your vpn to north korea ? :)
11:20.35XTaranI get the latter message not only from Switzerland but even for a host in Germany (at Hetzner). WTF? :)
11:20.57XTaranIs this the default 503 text? :)
11:21.07XTaranWill try later again. :)
11:21.57wpwrakseems weird. pretty much all countries under the sun should be allowed ...
11:22.10bencohwpwrak: do you use the angrysysadmin blacklist (like on tmo) ?

14:50.42wpwrakwhee ! Odysseus has landed ;-)
14:51.18wpwrakjonsger: the memory chips
14:51.48wpwrak... with an approx. one year sourcing history ...
14:53.35DocScrutinizer05I already received unboxing pics from Nikolaus
14:56.01wpwrakhehe :)
14:58.37jonsgerI have here a 256kbit RAM from samsung ^^ but it looks complicated to "talk" with them ;)
14:59.02bencohkbits ?
14:59.41jonsgeri think
14:59.58bencoherm, actually, bit is puzzling as well, for a memory chip
15:01.00jonsger262,144 one-bit words. idk what this excactly means
15:02.07DocScrutinizer05that means 256kbit
15:02.40DocScrutinizer05while I don't think it _really_ tells about organization
15:03.20DocScrutinizer05it _suggests_ the chip is organized 256k*1
15:04.10DocScrutinizer05which would be a typical organization for I2C attached serial storage or the like
15:04.27DocScrutinizer05usually found in external boot roms

16:05.24DocScrutinizer05wpwrak: I wonder if we should disable the "customers keep their cart for next login" - it results in an ever growing number of abandoned carts in db
16:05.25XTaranDocScrutinizer05: So the prices currently in the shop are just a down payment and don't reflect the final price?
16:05.33DocScrutinizer05yes
16:06.27XTaranDocScrutinizer05: Ah, found the estimated final price in the FAQ.
16:08.52wpwrakDocScrutinizer05: not sure what side-effects this has. but yes, the number of abandoned carts already rivals your average hypermarket. it's a bit too easy to end up with half a dozen of them ...
16:09.35DocScrutinizer05lemme disable that stuff
16:10.02wpwrakwell, in one case it took only five carts until the order actually made it :-)
16:11.16DocScrutinizer05done
16:11.46DocScrutinizer05I doubt it cleans out the abandoned carts from db, but at least I hope for no more new ones
16:14.21DocScrutinizer05seems carts that resulted in an order are an immanent part of the db dat structure anyway - can't get deleted
16:15.01DocScrutinizer05only "non ordered" and "abandoned" could get deleted
16:15.58DocScrutinizer05starts to feel like average joe who says "computers are complicated. I don't touch them"

19:03.51DocScrutinizer05we solved the issue
19:04.20DocScrutinizer05anyway thanks
19:04.47DocScrutinizer05it just took a small eternity to get the stuff sorted
19:06.11DocScrutinizer05there are addon modules available for prestashop, some for free, some for a XX bucks, some even working as supposed
19:07.17DocScrutinizer05the 420 issue got solved by import-vouchers-from-csv module which iirc was a 30 bucks - much less than it would have cost us when we did something similar ourselves
19:07.56DocScrutinizer05https://www.google.de/search?q=import-vouchers-from-csv+module ;-)
19:17.40DocScrutinizer05reading through pages and pages of stuff like https://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/153495-first-welcome-email-email-too-much-unsecured-info/ day after day
19:18.24Humpelstilzchensounds like a configurable but complicated
19:18.25Humpelstilzchenshop
19:21.02wpwrakindeed. and the defaults are very different from what we want.
19:23.41DocScrutinizer05and for every default we want to change, we had a discussion if we really want to, and to which other value to change it to. That sometimes takes even more time
19:24.32DocScrutinizer05then you generally don't want to edit the PHP code if any avoidable, since next update of the software would nuke such "fixes"
19:25.55DocScrutinizer05you also generally don't want to edit mysql database directly brute force with mysqladmin or whatever since you don't want to introduce inconsistencies in relational integrity of that critter
19:27.56DocScrutinizer05(changing defaults) before even considering *if* you want to, you need to get aware there _is_ such default you could change
19:29.03DocScrutinizer05and the relation between an effect you see and the "option" on prestashop you need to tweak is absolutely non-intuitive at least to me
19:30.06DocScrutinizer05example: we had "(tax incl.)" everywhere. Finally dos1 found out how to get rid of it: in *translation*
19:31.07DocScrutinizer05though jury is yet out on whether that's the right way or a dirty hack we used since we couldn't find the "right way"
19:31.17*** join/#neo900 paulk-collins (~paulk@gagarine.paulk.fr)
19:32.18DocScrutinizer05and just yesterday I learned from dos1 that "translations" seems to **edit the PHP code**
19:32.25DocScrutinizer05:-o
19:33.08DocScrutinizer05I didn't even dare to have a look into the innards of that prestashop function
19:34.45Wizzupwelcome to the wonderful world of php
19:35.36DocScrutinizer05when I checked the web frontend in N900 microB, it suddenly shown all sorts of products and ads for clothes (the theme template we used to base our shop on). Til today nobody found out the root cause why prestashop shows a different webpage for microB than for all other browsers we tested
19:36.14DocScrutinizer05we killed the effect brute force by deleting that stuff from our template completely
