00:40.20DocScrutinizer05computer catching fire because of papers placed on top of it? :-O  what a shitty computer is that? Or was this just the easy explanation some fire brigade officer came up with?
00:59.18DocScrutinizer05the only way I can think of how a usual PC can start a fire: the PSU fan collecting lots of dust and thus clogging, the PSU overheating, some PSU component bursting and releasing some sparks which ignite the dust on fan blades and the rotation of fan boost that tiny glow into a true flame and blows that out of the fan opening in PC case thus igniting other material behind the PC
01:01.39DocScrutinizer05((What is happening with N900s)) Nothing. I'm busy with other stuff
01:02.20DocScrutinizer05it's not like we all waited for finally some N900 showing up so we got something to do
01:03.50DocScrutinizer05twice a day I'm swapping battery charging in a N900 that I already have in usage. So I'm not at batt #16 charging
01:04.10DocScrutinizer05s/not/now/
01:05.07DocScrutinizer05once I'm done with #16, I'll unpack the next batch/bundle of batts
01:05.54jonwilso how many of these donated batteries are dead/unusable so far?
01:06.00DocScrutinizer05still wondering if I discard the swollen batts or keep them in a safe place somewhere
01:06.16DocScrutinizer05all were at 0.00V
01:06.24DocScrutinizer05all started charging
01:06.46DocScrutinizer05none been checked for capacity after charging, no time for such time consuming experiments
01:07.28DocScrutinizer0514 of 16 are swollen
01:07.57DocScrutinizer05in varying degrees
01:08.25jonwilok
01:09.19DocScrutinizer057 of 16 are "dark" ones, with darker gray of body color and silver printing instead white printing
01:10.19DocScrutinizer05I *should* instantly dispose off all swollen batts
01:11.42DocScrutinizer05then otoh it would be a pity to discard such a great chance to do tests on a huge number of supposedly identically built and treated batteries
01:38.36DocScrutinizer05http://neo900.org/stuff/joerg/random-media/charging_number_16_3.JPG  #3 6 9 11 12 13 16 are "dark"
01:56.33DocScrutinizer05http://neo900.org/stuff/joerg/random-media/DSCF0456.JPG all 55 (did you count them??
02:09.50OksanaThe PC caught fire because of papers on top of it? It was said by the user who put the papers on top of the computer. That's an 'ordinary' heavy desktop computer. Wooden table. Maybe, a piece of paper got inside the fan? Who knows... There was a very noisy computer in this room previously, and everybody just closed their ears instead of checking the fan.
02:11.24DocScrutinizer05http://maemo.cloud-7.de/share-service/20141013_001.jpg  "gray" (left) vs "white" BL-5J, backside
02:11.29OksanaNot sure there was a fire brigade; there were very good sprinklers in the ceiling. Water in a room full of computers... Insane but works. Most computers are not damaged.
02:17.11DocScrutinizer05((gray)) I'll call the "white" type "CE" batt
02:17.47DocScrutinizer05while for the "gray" ones I have no better word than "gray"
02:18.12DocScrutinizer05I *think* both are genuine Nokia
02:23.43DocScrutinizer05a pity that Neo Freerunner's GTA02 smart battery (formfactor BL-5C, see http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Battery_Questions_and_Answers) is significantly thicker than BL-5J and thus the smartbatt circuit won't fit into a modified BL-5J. Nevertheless we have HDQ on BSI pin of Neo900 battery connector, so you _could_ read out the battery BQ27000 if it has one

03:31.36OksanaMemory...
03:34.26DocScrutinizer05I guess I eventually have to kick out that fossil
03:36.08grodtDocScrutinizer05, if a person was to attempt to make a portable phone, not in the size thats small like neo 900 and wanted the feature of the modem being indepenadant (i know you had a better term I forgot) could it be made much cheaper?
03:36.35DocScrutinizer05no
03:37.12Oksanagrodt: TuxPhone ?
03:37.50grodtDocScrutinizer05, can you remind me please what the term is or in a short sentence the description that would not allow for a phone to be remotely turned on besides the phone pretending to be off
03:38.00grodtOksana, hmm im not familiar with it but I shall check it out, thanks
03:38.17DocScrutinizer05nmap -P0 -T3  -->  SYN Stealth Scan Timing: About 1.14% done; ETC: 09:15 (3:37:24 remaining)
03:38.50grodtOksana, does tuxphone have the hardware setup, at least the modem part like neo 900 to allow this feature?
03:39.17OksanaThe goal of the project is to develop a phone that anyone with basic soldering equipment can construct, with support from the free and open source software community for downloads, such as ring tones, backgrounds, and music.
03:39.48grodtill take that as a no
03:40.03DocScrutinizer05but me got decent boxen at remote places :-D  -->  SYN Stealth Scan Timing: About 1.09% done; ETC: 06:35 (0:55:54 remaining)
03:40.49DocScrutinizer05grodt: sorry, that's not easily explained
03:41.01grodtDocScrutinizer05, no worries, thanks
03:42.07OksanaThe status is: Neo900 has modem separate from main board, and the main board monitors the modem, and can easily cut off either the power and/or the transmitting antenna of the modem.
03:43.58grodtthanks Oksana
03:45.29OksanaDD-WRT is nice...
03:49.00DocScrutinizer05but so old I wouldn't dare to expose it directly to the internet

04:11.52OksanaMusing on SheevaPlug with Plan 9 as always-on home server.
04:21.55grodtif pi Phone has a sim900 GSM module that separate from the board, does that have chance of not being able to be remotely turned on?
04:31.36*** join/#neo900 mvaenskae (~mvaenskae@unaffiliated/mvaenskae)
04:32.47OksanaWhat is pi phone? If GSM module is separate from the board, then the board can cut off all power to modem, and the module will not be switched on. Unless it can feed itself passively from antenna. But Neo900 can cut off the modem from the antenna, too.
04:33.53OksanaYour vacuum cleaner cannot be switched on remotely when it has no electricity :) Unless it can feed itself by using its long wire as antenna. But it is highly unlikely.
04:35.18Oksanagrodt: Do you mean DragonBox Pyra?
04:36.06OksanaOr its predecessor, Raspberry Pi ?
04:38.24grodtOksana, this http://www.davidhunt.ie/piphone-a-raspberry-pi-based-smartphone/
04:42.44OksanaDragonBox Pyra is a phone based on OpenPandora (I just got confused a little) and would probably cost a lot more. http://www.dragonbox-pyra.com/specs.html
04:45.04OksanaJust disconnect UART which connects modem to main board, and this PiPhone will be safe from any remotely-controlling spies.
04:45.30grodtOksana, wow, thanks man
04:46.36OksanaI know less about PiPhone than you do :)
04:48.02grodtOksana, UART meaning a circuit?
04:48.49OksanaUART means an electrical connection. Like, a wire. What makes this different from the Timelapse controller is the addition of a a SIM900 GSM module, which is connected via UART to the Raspberry Pi.
04:49.41grodtoh so basically in order to keep the spies out I cant use the GSM module?
04:49.51DocScrutinizer05((But Neo900 can cut off the modem from the antenna, too.)) no it cannot
04:50.39DocScrutinizer05dargonbox is NO phone
04:52.06DocScrutinizer05not at all
04:52.40DocScrutinizer05it's as much a phone as your PC was a phone when you plug in a USB-3G-dongle
04:53.19DocScrutinizer05only difference: Pyra is a tad smaller than your average PC
04:54.04OksanaAlright, it is a brick-phone. A heavy brick.
04:54.09grodtdisconnecting the UART, is that something a novice can do?
04:54.20DocScrutinizer05no, it is no sort of phone whatsoever
04:54.33grodtand would that pretty much disable it from using it as a phone?
04:54.40DocScrutinizer05it's even unclear if it has any audio connected to the modem
04:54.40grodtsince the connection would be severed?
04:54.41Oksanagrodt is speaking about PiPhone : http://www.davidhunt.ie/piphone-a-raspberry-pi-based-smartphone/
04:56.09OksanaCutting off the power (electricity) from the modem would pretty much disable it, yes.
04:56.50grodtlol
04:57.13grodtim so confused, the sim900 seems to be a module sep from raspi board
04:57.42OksanaYes, SIM 900 is phone-chip, and rasp-board is computer.
04:57.57DocScrutinizer05"to keep the spies out" you got two options: trust in somebody who claims to build some hw (and sw) that does this for you, or *learn* about what are the principles the threat is based on. Otherwise you won't keep spies out, since they are smarter than you
04:58.09grodttrue
04:58.43DocScrutinizer05there's no cook book recipe
04:59.33Oksana:)
05:01.03OksanaWhat does/did modem TX monitor do?
05:10.29DocScrutinizer05http://neo900.org/stuff/joerg/random-media/55/
05:16.23DocScrutinizer05TX monitor makes sure we notice when modem starts sending
05:16.54DocScrutinizer05it also tells us about amplitude aka power it uses for sending
05:18.39Oksana:)
05:27.13DocScrutinizer05I think http://neo900.org/stuff/joerg/random-media/55/batt-batch_17-32_6.jpg is quite puzzling. Are those _really_ all genuine Nokia batts?
05:27.52DocScrutinizer05placement of hologram on gray ones is often rather sloppy
05:29.47DocScrutinizer05also the holograms themselves are subtly different between CE and gray ones. When gray shines greenish, the CE holos still look red-orange
05:30.45DocScrutinizer05http://neo900.org/stuff/joerg/random-media/55/batt-batch_17-32_7.jpg gives a slight idea of that
05:40.15DocScrutinizer05hope you like the new pictures and the renaming and now dir structure
05:40.23DocScrutinizer05new*
05:49.43jonwilthose batteries came from Mozilla project who presumably acquired N900s and bats from trusted source
05:50.00DocScrutinizer05yep, that's what you'd think
05:50.39DocScrutinizer05seems there are both variants of batt very widespread
05:52.17DocScrutinizer05on a sidenote: I checked one of the 17-32 batch thoroughly: it has 0.000Volt, and a resistance of roundabout 80kR from + to GND
05:52.44DocScrutinizer05clearly the protective circuit kicked in and cut out
05:53.36DocScrutinizer05they all need 5..20s of emergency charging until NOLO comes up
05:55.28DocScrutinizer05funny enough the N900 I used for charging most of batch1 takes some 10..30s until it detects that a battery is inserted, and even more funny eventually and occasionally it enters emegency charging even with no battery inserted ;-P
05:56.13DocScrutinizer05after several minutes of sitting there with no batt inserted
05:57.32DocScrutinizer05very interesting "dirty effect"
05:58.14DocScrutinizer05most annoying: I'm running short of wallchargers now
05:59.07DocScrutinizer05jolla and N9 already got disconnected and powered down
06:01.25DocScrutinizer05found another one and testing now if I can reproduce that effect on another N900
06:03.25grodtDocScrutinizer05, how much sleep do you get man!
06:03.32grodtyou are like a robot
06:03.48DocScrutinizer05thanks! ;-)
06:04.31DocScrutinizer05sleep is overrated
06:04.57DocScrutinizer05nevertheless I had insane lots of it lately
06:06.38grodtDocScrutinizer05, when you smoke weed and then rub one out, you get a lot of sleep
06:07.06DocScrutinizer05stopped smoking weed a 90 years ago ;-)
06:09.13DocScrutinizer05but you're giving me ideas... Got a two bottles of beer in fridge, since 4 weeks. time to open one of them
06:09.15grodtwhat about rubbing ones out
06:11.31*** join/#neo900 vakkov (~vakkov@134.83.207.39)
06:17.58DocScrutinizer05hmm, wasn't able to reproduce the emergency charging without batt in a second device. So I assigned it to charging bank, now charging #17, #18 and #19
06:19.37DocScrutinizer05puzzling: this device (javispedro's donation) refused to start emergency charging on inserting battery, even after 3 minutes. So I unplugged USB charger for 1s and on re-plugging it immediately started up with steady yellow
06:20.15DocScrutinizer05the other two devices never took longer than max 20s after batt insertion to start emerg chrg
06:24.00DocScrutinizer05another observation: obviously NOLO doesn't enable the amber flashing when on boot time the bq24150 wasn't in emerg chrg mode. The indicator starts flashing only after linux started bme
06:25.43DocScrutinizer05when device boots up from emerg chrg mode, it shows a differing behavior: immediately after NOLO displays the NOKIA screen, it seems like NOLO also starts charging and enables standard LP5523 based flashing chrg indicator
06:28.05DocScrutinizer05I know the NOLO charging been a known effect since ages, I myself explained to have observed that, back when checking all that charging mystery. Nevertheless the different UX is remarkable and not been noticed by me so far
06:29.45DocScrutinizer05also you'd wonder why NOLO does _not_ start charging when batt voltage >3.6V | bq24150 not in emerg chrg mode (whatever it is that gets checked by NOLO)

10:57.05freemangordonkung_fu_mike: ^^^
10:59.46freemangordon_dammit, seems empathy does not support it :(
11:00.34DocScrutinizer05maybe check ignore settings
11:00.45freemangordon_no such settings
11:00.59DocScrutinizer05there's some method to ignore/reject /query
11:01.12DocScrutinizer05completely forgot which
11:02.12DocScrutinizer05aaah, konversation allows to define a regex matchng sender, and what are the actions getting ignored by such senser. One is "QUERY"
11:02.17freemangordon_queries are not ignored, but I need to explicitly select them form the "letter" indicator on the t=askbar
11:02.27freemangordon_*from
11:02.40DocScrutinizer05duh
11:02.57freemangordon_maybe I should install another irc client, any reccomendations?
11:03.29DocScrutinizer05how to build a crappy unusable useless IRC client. Chaper2
11:03.54freemangordon_pidgin?
11:04.06DocScrutinizer05well, I'm happy with xchat and Konversation
11:04.33DocScrutinizer05hated pidgin back in 2009 when I had to use it on GTA02
11:04.35SvetlanaI use emacs erc.
11:04.53SvetlanaWould not be very mobile friendly though unless some effort is put in.
11:05.00freemangordon_gonna give pidgin a try
11:05.39jonwilI use chatzilla and it works great for me :)
11:06.02DocScrutinizer05isn't that a webchat thing?
11:06.35*** part/#neo900 freemangordon_ (~ivo@213.222.56.174)
11:07.33DocScrutinizer05yeah, >>ChatZilla :: Add-ons for Firefox - Mozilla Add-ons<<
11:08.06*** join/#neo900 freemangordon_ (~ivo@213.222.56.174)
11:08.34freemangordon_DocScrutinizer05: coud you /query me?
11:08.36DocScrutinizer05so prolly not much different to http://webchat.freenode.net/
11:08.40DocScrutinizer05sure
11:09.56Svetlanachatzilla is a little better than webchat -- it writes logs to files which was the feature i used most. but when it comes to mobile world, nirc and firefoxos irc both rule over chatzilla and webchat :)
11:10.38DocScrutinizer05when it comes to mobile, there's maemo xchat
11:10.41DocScrutinizer05;-)

11:11.05Svetlana(the web is a bit evil indeed)
11:12.43DocScrutinizer05seems freemangordon_ is happy with purple aka pidgin
11:12.49jonwilchatzilla is not webchat, its a full IRC client at least
11:12.56freemangordon_so far
11:13.12DocScrutinizer05jonwil: needs firefox, no?
11:13.23jonwilyeah Firefox or SeaMonkey
11:13.37DocScrutinizer05both not available on my mobile device
11:13.41DocScrutinizer05not really
11:14.19jonwilyeah on mobile Chatzilla isn't an option
11:14.23jonwilbut for a desktop it works good
11:14.39DocScrutinizer05and for PC, except for missing scripting capabilities, there's nothing that beats konversation
11:15.31DocScrutinizer05actually konversation has _sort_of_ scripting, by calling commands
11:16.22DocScrutinizer05but I don't need scripts that are triggered by /cmd myscript
11:16.34DocScrutinizer05I would need scripts that are event triggered
11:17.38jonwilkonversation might be good if you run KDE but on Windows its no good
11:17.43DocScrutinizer05and could do stuff like opening new tabs, redirecting channel msgs to arbitrary new destination (other tab for example), or rewriting the content before putting it into channel tab, etc
11:18.02DocScrutinizer05hehe, who's using windoze? ;-)
11:18.17freemangordon_jonwil does :P
11:18.31freemangordon_DocScrutinizer05: also, I am on ubuntu :)
11:18.45freemangordon_not much of a difference :D
11:18.46DocScrutinizer05wonders what's "worse"
11:19.06jonwilI use Windows because I need Windows for my gaming :P
11:19.17DocScrutinizer05legit
11:19.19jonwiland for development with Visual Studio
11:19.32jonwilmostly connected to said gaming :)
11:19.32DocScrutinizer05also kinda legit
11:19.55DocScrutinizer05oh yeah, double plus legit
11:20.00jonwilI do however have a long list of pieces of totally crappy Windows software I will NEVER allow on a machine I own
11:20.14jonwilincluding anything by Norton
11:20.18DocScrutinizer05hehe
11:20.20jonwiland anything by Mcafee
11:20.40DocScrutinizer05NC wasn't bad, while it lasts
11:21.01jonwilI used Norton Internet Security once and it certainly was good at protecting me from threats, it actually broke my internet completly
11:21.12*** join/#neo900 mvaenskae (~mvaenskae@unaffiliated/mvaenskae)
11:21.18DocScrutinizer05some.. err... 15 years ago I swore I never again will touch a windows PC when it's lacking NC
11:21.43jonwilI also refuse to allow Microsoft Office on any PC I own
11:21.53DocScrutinizer05that promise got moot when I refused to touch windows at all
11:22.47DocScrutinizer05now when I _have_ to touch windows machines for e.g. my job, first thing I try to get installed is cygwin
11:23.16DocScrutinizer05or even a VM with a decent linux in it
11:23.43jonwilactually, that last thing about Office, I do have the Excel Viewer program installed in order to view the occasional .xls file that I find out there and cant view any other way :P
11:24.18DocScrutinizer05duh, OO failing to do that for you?
11:24.29jonwilI also refuse to install OO either
11:24.42jonwilBecause OO on windows is crap
11:24.51DocScrutinizer05dunno, possible
11:24.57DocScrutinizer05windows, no idea
11:25.01jonwilactually, its not OO on windows, its GTK apps on Windows
11:25.13jonwilOO, Gimp, others, they ALL suck
11:25.21DocScrutinizer05can vividly imagine that ;-D
11:25.42DocScrutinizer05even qt apps kinda suck on windows, I bet
11:26.01jonwilactually QT apps aren't bad
11:26.37DocScrutinizer05Svetlana: how's IRC business these days?
11:26.41jonwilAlso on my blacklist of software I refuse to use is almost anything from Adobe
11:27.10jonwilI use Flash because no viable alternative exists yet (and I run adblock to shut off any ads, flash ads included)
11:27.33jonwiland I use Acrobat Reader again because alternatives to Acrobat Reader on Windows are junk
11:27.46jonwilOSX and Linux have good alternative PDF readers
11:27.49jonwilWindows not so much
11:27.50DocScrutinizer05flash, kill it with fire! after using a time machine to travel a few years back
11:28.21DocScrutinizer05evice also sucks more than it used to
11:28.32DocScrutinizer05evince that is (pdf viewer)
11:28.59jonwilone reason I need Flash related stuff around is because one of the games I do modding on actually uses Flash (or rather a custom format derived from Flash) for some of its UI
11:29.07DocScrutinizer05completely stripped of all usual clasic menus
11:29.55jonwilI probably do have a lot of crap on this Windows box I dont use and don't need intalled
11:29.57jonwilinstalled
11:30.08jonwilLets uninstall some of the crap :P
11:30.11DocScrutinizer05last time I checked flash comes with its own embedded complete OS ;-)
11:30.57jonwilI just wish someone would show up with a nice big cheque and throw it at the developers of whichever Flash alternative is most feature-complete so we can finally kill the Adobe plugin for good.
11:31.03DocScrutinizer05some nice guy had a talk about that on some balckhat conf iirc
11:32.21enycjonwil:  Evince for windows exists?  does that akr well for you?
11:32.36jonwilNever tried it
11:32.52DocScrutinizer05waves
11:33.03jonwilwoha I really do have a lot of crap on this system
11:33.15jonwilboth Perl AND Python stuff
11:33.49jonwilpretty much every Microsoft development piece from the last 5 years
11:34.21jonwilabout a dozen or so things that got installed by the NVIDIA driver installer
11:34.37Svetlanagoing ok, DocScrutinizer05, i am doing some rss feed programming for "on-irc" output

21:56.52Palimaemo's microb has xulrunner too, or not?
21:58.23OksanaAgge: The extra deal still stands. If you donate +100€, you can ask for one pre-order. If you donate +200€, you can ask for one or two pre-orders. And so on... Of course, there is always option of zero pre-orders, but that's not that interesting, right?
21:59.40AggeOksana: wasent it somthing like +3%/month also?
22:00.13OksanaAgge: Yes, you get +2%/month.
22:00.31OksanaOn original donation. It grows linearly with time, not exponentially.
22:00.57Aggeok thanks. I aperently remembered incoreclt

22:02.17OksanaSo, if you donate 100€ now, you have 102€ one month later, 110€ five months later...
22:03.07OksanaWith exponential, it would have been 110.4€ five months later. Yes, not much of a difference.
22:05.16OksanaIt is in fine print here: http://neo900.org/donate
22:06.54Aggethanks
22:11.11DocScrutinizer05a d you generally must donate 2*100 when you want to ask for 2 devices
22:11.25DocScrutinizer05one donation is one donation
22:12.00Aggeaha thanks for the headsupp
22:12.27AggeI am mainly intrested in the upgrade kit given that I have a old N900
22:12.39DocScrutinizer05and we soonish might need to increase the 100 threshold to 150, IOW development is more expensive than Nik originally estimated
22:13.37Aggewhat is the timeplan before it should be redy?
22:13.52OksanaIt should be ready in Q2/2015.
22:14.19DocScrutinizer05or we get more preorders, since R&D is becoming less expense per device when more devices to build
