@Ramhound: Cats are vicious bastards when they set their minds to it. I've seen local strays stalk and chase off a full grown cobra.

@sammyg also, it prevents you from using the older IBM Thinkpad power supplies with the very different lenovo systems and vice versa. The two have different voltages

@Waffle'sCrazyPeanut woof. I mean thanks.

Journeyman Geek

01:40

@allquixotic I wonder if thats cause you can charge the yoga slowly off USB and quickly off a proper charger, and they didn't want people sticking the normal charger into USB ports and setting things on fire

Somebody just upvoted like 7 of my questions for some odd reason :$

I really wish I could decide if I want the Surface Pro 3 :$

Bob

02:36

@Ramhound I have no problem deciding I want it. The problem is deciding if I should get it (if I can afford it) :P

Journeyman Geek

03:26

;p

I sorta know the feeling.

@JourneymanGeek rsyncing now

Though it's transferring at 9 kbps :'(

Psycogeek

little b? , I could phone it in to you it might be faster

the mobile acoustic coupler modem

HackToHell

Oh wait, I can run rsync server in my pc and push the files from your box without opening ports and stuff

Amit Bhaira

04:35

any kernel programmer here ?

Journeyman Geek

Can't help there. I usually have better upstream

HackToHell

@JourneymanGeek Now it's at 50 kbps

My download speed :D

And without the ssh overhead, it should be over soon

As of soon I mean 4-5 days ._.

And rsync is using only 1-2% CPU at your end :)

Canadian Luke

@AmitBhaira Not a Kernel programmer, but I'm a Corporal programmer! </pun>

Amit Bhaira

@CanadianLuke need to clear a simple concept regarding computer archi., can you help me with that?

(well, atleast to me since I don't check review that often)

Bob

@Sathya The big number at the top of the screen didn't give it away? :P

Linker3000

Yep - but I'm killing some time in a hotel right now so....

Ash

Linker3000

@Sathya So what you doing now?

Journeyman Geek

05:18

@HackToHell thats more like it ;p

Ash

Journeyman Geek

@HackToHell: meh, not a big issue. Just let me know when its done, whenever. ;p

@Linker3000 I'm working at the same place where I was in 2011 :)

Linker3000

05:22

@Sathya Fair enough - not that I remember where that was! I'm getting old and forgetful

Sathya

@Linker3000 at a UK based company now acquired by a certain Canadian company in Bangalore :)

Journeyman Geek

@Linker3000: I think I remember you from the video card givaway ;p

Linker3000

@JourneymanGeek Yep - that's why I went out for that beer!

Journeyman Geek

;p

HackToHell

@JourneymanGeek yeah, daemon at my end

Journeyman Geek

05:24

(I pulled out from that. Then went and built myself a kickass rig. It even plays crysis!)

Sathya

haha

Journeyman Geek

@HackToHell: I need to try that. When I do local transfers over smb or sftp I'm usually processor limited

(well crysis 2 ... close enough)

Linker3000

@Sathya Ah yes - I remember. I've changed jobs 3 times - now working for a company that's not Eastern Analogue

Journeyman Geek

I could swap it out for a laptop with a c2d, but I'd be losing out in terms of onboard hard disk space - the atom as it is can handle 2 Sata and 2 IDE drives, and I got space for all of em

Psycogeek

@Linker3000 that would be western digital?

Linker3000

05:28

@Psycogeek Seems likely!

(well, a division of...)

Bob

@Linker3000 oh hi there. you left before I started :P

Linker3000

@Bob Hi.

Well, time to go again - see you in 2017..

Bob

@Linker3000 See you then!

Linker3000

..oh heck..maybe I'll dip in every now and then

Bob

@allquixotic confirmed that the i5 SP3 is not an Iris :(

Q: How to set up prebuilt gcc for compiling goldfish?

I was trying to compile goldfish (Android kernel sources for the emulated platforms ).In the Android Project's Building Kernels page , On a linux host, if you don't have an Android source tree, you can download the prebuilt toolchain from: $ git clone https://android.googlesource.com/pl...

HackToHell

@JourneymanGeek Apparently rsync is faster than anything else squarism.com/2010/02/11/scp-vs-rsync-vs-smb-vs-ftp

Linker3000

@Mokubai Drinking beer and insulting passers-by

Mokubai

06:10

@Linker3000 sounds like my kind of holiday! And you managed that for almost 3 years? That's dedication that is...

HackToHell

@Ash Why compile the goldfish kernel o0

Linker3000

@HackToHell Coming in late here - what are you syncing?

HackToHell

@Linker3000 Cyanogenmod 11 source code

It's about 20 gigs

And since stupid 'git' can't resume

I am using rsync

Sathya

say what.

it can.

Linker3000

@HackToHell I've just started a 'sync' eval project for multiple site-site repos and we're trying this: syncthing.net

A: How to resume a git pull/clone after a hung up unexpectedly?

If a pull hung up, it will not write any changes to your filesystem. This is because, if it would, your local repository would not be in a stable state. There is no way to resume a pull/clone. So your only choice is to pull/clone again.

@Linker3000 I'll check it

Linker3000

Probably not what you're after - but the word 'sync' made me feel like sharing

Ash

@HackToHell been there.

HackToHell

@Ash It's 317 mb :D good luck

@Linker3000 I'll not be able to use it now, but it's an awesome idea.

@Sathya How ?

Psycogeek

Sathya

@HackToHell I assumed it can, but apparently not

Ash

06:22

@Psycogeek IP over avian carriers ? I thought there was a protocol for that.

HackToHell

@Sathya yeah :(

A: How to complete a git clone for a big project on an unstable connection?

"Never underestimate the bandwidth of a carrier pigeon and a bundle of SD cards" would be the modern form of this answer. Tar it up, plain old cp -a it, whatever, and mail the damn thing. Find someone willing to take two minutes of their time to drop a thumb drive into an SASE. Find a contact, ...

:D

500mb / 20 Gb done

Ash

06:40

@HackToHell speed ?

HackToHell

@Ash My download speed is 50 Kbps

rsync zips files and sends them

Linker3000

Gnite folks - good to catch up again/say hi to new peeps. 'til next time.....

Journeyman Geek

@hacktohell Sounds reasonable now. 9kbps is just silly

Ash

@HackToHell I have this goldfish and arm-eabi from git . is there a good how to on emulating goldfish ? I don't know anything about this and I was trying to follow some guide , but everything seems to brake here and there.

Preferably something that explains how to setup android development environment.

HackToHell

07:41

@Ash I don't think there are guides for goldfish

But there will be guides for normal kernel on xda
