⏴ go to previous day
08:46:41 *** boekabart has joined #openDune
08:46:56 <boekabart> so after much consideration...
08:47:04 <boekabart> I wish you all a good morning
08:50:01 <Xaroth> back to the old name i see
08:50:12 <boekabart> yeah - i have my reasons
08:50:22 <Xaroth> going back to boekarest?
08:50:30 <boekabart> just for christmas :)
08:51:40 <boekabart> nice would be nicer i think
08:53:13 <boekabart> less cold there, that's for sure
12:50:37 <boekabart> or is TrueBrain too busy rewriting libemu/ ToCS ?
17:09:20 *** boekabart has joined #openDune
19:37:35 *** Xaroth sets mode: +o TrueBrain
19:37:43 *** Xaroth sets mode: +vvvv blathijs boekabart nsz SmatZ
19:37:44 *** Xaroth sets mode: +vv TinoDidriksen tneo
19:54:38 <TrueBrain> boekabart: I am busy, yes, and Xaroth is still doing nothing :p :p :p
20:03:02 * boekabart is waiting for his server @ leaseweb to be ready
20:07:10 <TrueBrain> why at leaseweb? You should have asked me :p
20:07:13 <TrueBrain> what kind of server? :)
20:14:57 <boekabart> why? realtively cheap
20:15:04 <boekabart> why should I have asked you?
20:15:14 <TrueBrain> because I work for an ISP? :p
20:15:54 <boekabart> dualcore intel smth, 2gb ram, 160gb space, 4000Gb traffic, centos
20:16:22 <TrueBrain> sadly, LeaseWeb prices are unbeatable :p
20:16:28 <TrueBrain> we can only offer better service ;)
20:16:59 <boekabart> ottd is also @ leaseweb? (and odune)
20:17:09 <TrueBrain> yup, a very nice sponsor contract ;)
20:17:21 <TrueBrain> why you want a dedicated btw? :)
20:17:46 <boekabart> couldn't find virtual :)
20:19:00 <boekabart> the frontpage VPS (22 p month) is quite a bit .. less.. than what leaseweb gives me dedicated for 29...
20:19:13 <TrueBrain> as said, leaseweb prices are unbeatable
20:19:59 <boekabart> how can they be so much cheaper?
20:20:28 <TrueBrain> b) they have such massive amount of bandwidth, they dont have to charge that
20:20:36 <TrueBrain> c) they have such volume ;)
20:20:52 <boekabart> well they have done investments for that
20:21:01 <boekabart> which they need to ... win abck
20:21:14 <boekabart> ah, they grew EVO from the fertile Holland soil?
20:21:14 <TrueBrain> EVO contracted LeaseWeb to do the service
20:21:49 <TrueBrain> sucky machine for 29 euro btw :p
20:22:18 <TrueBrain> those are really their old machines they are recycling :p
20:22:44 <TrueBrain> Athlon 3000+ :) Ghehe :)
20:23:55 <TrueBrain> boekabart: be very careful with non-raid dedicated machines .. if one HD crashes, your data is lost
20:24:01 <boekabart> no, i picked a Core Duo 2450
20:24:22 <boekabart> a looot faster than a 3000+
20:24:33 <boekabart> still only about half my laptop speed
20:24:44 <boekabart> but for personal use, its more than enough
20:24:47 <TrueBrain> as I said, they are recycling :)
20:25:03 <boekabart> They offer 20gb of backup space
20:25:09 <TrueBrain> for 29 euro that it okay :p
20:25:25 <TrueBrain> well, just be careful .. no fileserver nor raid is a bad bad thing :p
20:25:59 <boekabart> how does one backup the 'system' (settings, accounts) in linux?
20:26:11 <TrueBrain> rsync a few files :p
20:26:20 <TrueBrain> like /home, /etc, ...
20:27:05 <TrueBrain> either way, concratz ;)
20:27:17 <TrueBrain> OpenTTD btw has a quad core machine running under it :p
20:32:12 <boekabart> openttd also has more visitors than I expect
20:37:49 <boekabart> so you're busy with libemu or other stuff?
20:38:52 <boekabart> if you guess, you make an ass out of ... wait... doesn't work with guess. :P
20:40:12 <Xaroth> boekabart: and then to realise that the forums are hosted elsewhere...
20:42:19 <glx> the server also run the compile farm :)
20:44:58 <TrueBrain> I was counting httpd hits
20:45:00 <TrueBrain> boekabart: and average
20:45:03 <TrueBrain> peak I wouldnt know
20:45:11 <TrueBrain> and no, I am not busy with libemu, was hoping you made a start with VGA :)
21:09:24 <boekabart> but also little time
21:09:52 <boekabart> yesterday i worked from 6.15 to 20.15 on a demo we had to give today :(
21:42:45 <TrueBrain> good night all :) Tomorrow another visit to EVO .. lets see if this time we can do what we want to do ... :p
21:43:00 <TrueBrain> the day after it, I hope to have enough free time to do something remotely related to fun :)
21:43:02 <Xaroth> next time postpone visits to evo to first tuesday of the month :P
21:43:12 <TrueBrain> I don't schedule it, sorry :)
21:43:21 <TrueBrain> I did laugh my ass off entring the building yesterday
21:43:27 <TrueBrain> stupid biometric system
21:43:31 <TrueBrain> completely cracked up
21:43:34 <Xaroth> at least they got earplugs now
21:44:01 <Xaroth> and/or biometric thingie
21:44:09 <TrueBrain> hmm, didn't notice it :p
21:44:28 <Xaroth> earplugs >> |-- <<biometric identification thingie
21:44:29 <TrueBrain> but oaky .. I never have my passport, so that is always fun (it still doesn't accept driver licenses)
21:44:44 <TrueBrain> and my boss his name starts with a "I
21:44:48 <TrueBrain> which is never given in emails (DAH!)
21:44:49 <Xaroth> driver licenses aren't 'official' identification papers
21:44:56 <TrueBrain> so the system refuses his passport
21:45:11 <TrueBrain> they are official within our borders, just not for very limited gov stuff
21:45:21 <Xaroth> they are 'accepted' as official papers
21:45:29 <TrueBrain> so every time you have to go through that process .....
21:45:33 <TrueBrain> Vinger Vinger Vinger
21:45:41 <TrueBrain> and them I am on the floor laughing my ass off
21:45:47 <Xaroth> if you get your full details put in
21:45:54 <Xaroth> you only need to do both fingers once
21:45:57 <Xaroth> and no scanning documents
21:46:02 <TrueBrain> at least once you need to go through the whole process successfully :p
21:46:12 <TrueBrain> always failed so far :)
21:46:22 <Xaroth> bring your passport :P
21:46:50 <Xaroth> or just drivers license
21:47:05 <TrueBrain> only drivers license
21:47:09 <Xaroth> it doesn't accept normal IDs unless you put yours in exactly as it reads
21:47:21 <Xaroth> (cost me 3 months to get it in the system correct :P )
21:49:50 <TrueBrain> as legal as your passport and ID WITHIN our borders
21:50:56 <TrueBrain> but it is not the first time we argue about it ;) Either way, they should accept driver license, but the machine simply isn't compatbiel with it :p
21:51:51 <TrueBrain> "The routine which I published already is the seed generator translated fully to C (with original random function). It shows that original Dune 2 was written in C or similiar language and proves that some functions can be faithfully converted to C with some effort." <- NO SHIT?!
21:54:24 <TrueBrain> I don't think so :)
21:54:31 <TrueBrain> the pool shows C, not C++ :p
21:55:39 <glx> .,.../* 0004(43) */ PACK char string_0004[43]; /*!< "Borland C++ - Copyright 1991 Borland Intl." NULL terminated. */
21:55:56 <glx> but I agree it can be C too
21:55:57 <TrueBrain> the compiler, yes, but MSVC in C++ mode can also compile C89 ;)
21:56:11 <TrueBrain> at first I thought it was C++ too, because of that line .. but no code suggests any class
22:00:14 <TrueBrain> either way, I believe I was going to say: good night :)
22:23:33 <Xaroth> planetmaker: I wonder how long he'll 'hang around' to try to get things compiled :P
22:24:10 <planetmaker> too long for me for today, you bet :-)
22:40:26 <Xaroth> was that too obvious? :P
23:09:48 <planetmaker> anyway: good night
continue to next day ⏵
