|
||||
Hello, this is Dan Waipil. And this is Marshall. You got another name besides Marshall
|
||||
now, the online name. Well, it's a bug, it's a pronounce. I think most people refer
|
||||
to it as Timmy. Oh, I always said Tim, Timmy. I do two teas. Yeah, this is my truth, tell
|
||||
me yours. Right, right. He said it was a, it was from a song, but I didn't know the song
|
||||
when we, when we first met. So I guessed it. Well, this, this be more first HP or? Now, who
|
||||
did one that was like really short? Was that your brother? Yeah, that was Andrew. Yeah, that
|
||||
was Clevy. Yeah, it was, I talked to him after and he said, like, Ken Fallon just appeared
|
||||
in front of him with a microphone in his face. And it's just a start talking. Yeah, we're
|
||||
out of camp. And Ken was having some issues with his wife. And he's like, he was hog
|
||||
wear failure in the end. His wife, I wasn't working. So Andrew, just plug your Android in
|
||||
and use its wife. Right. Ken goes, that's brilliant. You got to do an HP or something. So
|
||||
it happened right then. He got mugged with a microphone. I made a, like a joking reference
|
||||
to that, a Northeast Linux first, me and Pokey were going to go around. And I said, we're
|
||||
going to do it. Ken Fallon style. And I was kind of referring to you guys saying after
|
||||
our camp that, you know, you just be standing there and all of a sudden, boom, there's a microphone.
|
||||
So that's where I got that from. Coma, Kasi interviews. Yeah. Yeah. So why are you
|
||||
cutting it around with a tool or? Oh, sounds good. Good. That's what this is. This came
|
||||
about because you made a, you made the mistake of sending me an audio clip and I said, aha,
|
||||
you do have a microphone. So now we have to do a, you know, we have to do an HP work.
|
||||
Yeah. Well, I've been, I've actually recorded two and been them. Oh, you're one of those.
|
||||
That's my friend. He's got one. It's somewhere. He won't put it out. I've done two. One with
|
||||
the 3G set up prior to the one I've got, which was running through the EPC. And
|
||||
one I recorded on shuttle, but I've been that as well. I think that's one of the topics we
|
||||
were going to talk about tonight. Yeah. Yeah. That's quite an interesting move. Yeah. First
|
||||
of all, the 3G thing, because this is interesting. You're down in Cornwall and you've made jokes,
|
||||
or we've, we've joked a bit about this that they just ran one cat five down and you'll
|
||||
get to share it. Yeah. That's about the extent of it. Yeah. So you guys are all on 3G,
|
||||
huh? Yeah. I was on landline broadband till about six months ago. Two reasons to turn
|
||||
that off. The first one was they're going to start charging me for it. It was bundled
|
||||
in my phone before. Oh, I see. And in the village I am in, it's the best speed we can get
|
||||
is two meg. That is it. A lot of a lot of the villages on half of Meg. So I started playing
|
||||
with the with the 3G. It's a lot faster. I usually get around between four and eight meg,
|
||||
depending on the weather, the phone signal. Yeah. We did a little test mumble earlier just to see
|
||||
how it worked. And yeah, I don't there's nothing. There's no packet strapping or anything. Okay.
|
||||
No, it's been, I've been amazed. It's been rock solid. The only problem I've had is the phone
|
||||
it's running through is my spare end 900. And I put the power kernel, which isn't the standard
|
||||
kernel on it. And about once a fortnight, the phone will reboot itself. But other than that,
|
||||
you just forget about it. Turn it over 10 minutes. It must be nice just for mobility, just like
|
||||
leaving the house. Yeah, I don't because my wife uses it with a tablet and everything. So it's
|
||||
it is the landline replacement. It stays here. And it's not cost prohibitive. I mean, over here,
|
||||
it would be like 90 bucks a month for one gig. Yeah. That's expensive. Yeah, you have to just
|
||||
as far as I know, you have to just go get a cell phone plan and you can opt to get a phone with
|
||||
tethering or you can opt to get like a little USB dongle type thing. Yeah, but it's a full cell
|
||||
phone plan. Hell, I mean, you get the dongles here. I think seven gig is about 30 quid, 30 pounds.
|
||||
We're just getting robbed over here. Yeah. The way I'm doing, I think, is maybe bending the
|
||||
terms and conditions of the service of it. But it's been six months. They haven't cut me off,
|
||||
so we'll carry on. Yeah, basically, it's a page. Oh, I'm sorry, go ahead. Yeah, basically,
|
||||
it's a page you go plan. It's 15 pounds a month for unlimited data. I'm moving to Cornwall.
|
||||
The SIM cards are a pound, a pound each. If they cut me off, it's basically a quid and another
|
||||
top up. And that's it. Chuck it in the phone. I use the cubed tethering software on the N900.
|
||||
Plug that into a router while I'm running open WRT.
|
||||
And just connect it to configure it to use the USB as the WAN port.
|
||||
Are you saying that when you go home, you plug your phone into the router and it feeds the whole
|
||||
house through that one connection? Yeah, it feeds the whole house. It must spare one. It stays at
|
||||
home. It's just plugged in 24-7. It is literally a landline replacement. Wow, that's awesome.
|
||||
And it's worked fantastically as better than I ever thought it would.
|
||||
I want one. Yeah, it's literally plug and play with running it through the EPC.
|
||||
I can tether on my phone, but then they want another like an extra 20 bucks a month.
|
||||
And I'm grandfathered in right now to an unlimited plan. And if I go do all this upgrading and
|
||||
get a new phone, they're going to want to put me on 4G. I'm going to get stuck to one gig a month
|
||||
which we're sharing three phones right now. We'd go through that in like half a month. So yeah,
|
||||
it would be expensive for me to try and do this over here. My actual phone,
|
||||
they call it unlimited data on that, but it's only a gig. And we had a conversation about that,
|
||||
me and the provider, but they're still calling one gig. That's one thing.
|
||||
Unlimited. Yeah, gigs can like go through that in a night.
|
||||
Yeah, I downloaded their Backtrack 5 over a couple of ISOs. Yeah, the other night.
|
||||
That's got a new name, doesn't it? I don't know.
|
||||
I have a Backtrack as a new name now. K-Ligs or something like that.
|
||||
I don't know. I'd look the other night that's still coming up as Backtrack 5 on a search.
|
||||
Oh, okay. I got something. See, this is where those are sides happen, because I'm actually
|
||||
looking at my computer. Yeah, I've been having a few issues with a new laptop
|
||||
doing some pen testing. Okay. And I thought, well, rather than mess around too much,
|
||||
I'll just run it in a VM, but having a few problems there as well.
|
||||
Oh, yeah, I'm just looking at my hard drive now. It looks like it's Kaley Linux, K-A-L-I Linux.
|
||||
It's like a last, last Backtrack I remember was Backtrack 5.
|
||||
That's one of downloaded Backtrack 4. Yeah, there might be like something new
|
||||
around there. It's just the name change. Something else to test your unlimited data stream.
|
||||
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, on the laptop, I'm up to just under 11 gigs for the months.
|
||||
So over 3G so far. Well, that's quite a bit. Yeah.
|
||||
Yeah, I've downloaded, well, I think I've done nearly 30 gig in one month.
|
||||
And they're not cutting you off for that, huh? No, all right, cool.
|
||||
They don't say anything. You shouldn't. No, you don't have to register the
|
||||
kept cords or anything. You just go into it like a news agent, or a small supermarket,
|
||||
buy a SIM card for a pound, pay cashier top-ups, and it's completely anonymous apart from
|
||||
obviously. They all know where the phone is. Yeah, you guys mentioned that last time I was over there,
|
||||
must have been 2010 oddcamp. And you were saying that I could have if I brought my phone,
|
||||
I could have got a SIM card and put it in and I would have been all set. Yeah, I just left it
|
||||
home. I didn't even think that was an option. Yeah, I'm going to Germany next week. I've been looking
|
||||
but I think it's still cheaper for me to stick on my usual plan.
|
||||
I just started laughing because I'm thinking back to when we were hanging out in the bar after
|
||||
oddcamp 2010. And you and your brother go, all right, we'll be back in a minute. I go,
|
||||
where are you guys off to? And your brother goes, we're off to get some elephant leg.
|
||||
I say what? Like you guys had to explain to me what the kabab was. Oh, that's just kidding.
|
||||
Yeah, but you call it an elephant. As soon as he explained it though, I remembered those big
|
||||
giant things in the windows spinning around. I go, yeah, elephant leg makes sense.
|
||||
You guys have to remember whenever I'm over there, I'm like, I'm jet lagged. It's like I'm on
|
||||
cough medicine or something. I feel like half asleep. So you might have to explain to them to me.
|
||||
And it's always more fun when you come over. Oh, I couldn't make it happen the last few times.
|
||||
No, no, it's expensive, isn't it? Yeah, but I hear it might change too. It's quite expensive,
|
||||
like around August they were doing it. Yeah, now Dan mentioned he might be doing it around October.
|
||||
Yeah, hopefully. I'll have to see. Yeah. So you were mentioned into me earlier. What is the
|
||||
did this has to do with SSH tunneling? Yes. Yeah, okay, because I was going to explain a few things that
|
||||
yeah, blah, blah. I was going to mention proxy change and how I SSH, but it sounds like you're
|
||||
onto something new here that I don't know about. Well, I've always used proxy change while you've
|
||||
seen, I've shown you more bash or see before. For running a few apps like Hey, buddy, email,
|
||||
other things back home. Yeah, well, I was just looking through the AOR and I came across
|
||||
shuttle, which I haven't heard of this. Yeah, I think Kim through through uses as well.
|
||||
He's been he's been able to chat about it. It's what from the the man page, it's a transparent
|
||||
proxy based VPN using SSH. So basically it runs everything right back through to home. You
|
||||
haven't got to worry about you can even put your DNS requests back to your SSH server.
|
||||
And where are they saying the VPN is running? It's not it's not actually a VPN. It's love.
|
||||
He calls it a poor man's VPN, but I wouldn't call it poor man's VPN is bloody awesome.
|
||||
This is like a, but this is like a server client model like you run a server at home. Yes,
|
||||
or yeah, or anywhere you've got SSH access to. So I've been tested it with
|
||||
mostly the SDF one. I haven't tested with it yet. I've got me on SSH server running at work
|
||||
where the status net server is now. And it just tunnels all the traffic straight there.
|
||||
So I think I need to look into this. Yeah, because I I SSH tunnel every time I'm out of the house.
|
||||
Yeah. And I can tell Firefox to use the port, you know, use that port. I can tell Thunderbird to use
|
||||
that port, but something like hey, buddy, it's not aware of ports. So I would proxy chain it,
|
||||
which yeah, it's it sounds like this is like an extra step I'm going through where I could set up
|
||||
this shuttle and uh, well, shuttles. Yeah, shuttles a little bit. Well proxy change can be a pain
|
||||
in the ass to get working, but um, shuttle does some good how-tos. The best one I found was
|
||||
on the memo form for the 900. Okay, send your link to that one. Sounds like our first show note entry.
|
||||
This is the sound of Tim Timmy clicking. Oh, yeah, you put it into the chat. Okay.
|
||||
That's not going to make for a very good podcasting if I go read through that. No, no, no, no,
|
||||
that's basically telling you out to set it up on the end of the reference. But I'm still not
|
||||
clear though how, but when you leave the house, let's say you take your notebook out.
|
||||
Are you starting, are you starting up some type of client before you start any other
|
||||
programs or how are you making the tunnel happen? Well, most of the time, the way it just explains it
|
||||
on the the GitHub page is open a terminal. And um, you just, it's a shuttle,
|
||||
that's VBR, uh, use a name at host and um, you have to put your password in either you
|
||||
do password if, because it needs to do the room. I think or run it as route. So do, uh,
|
||||
ask for your silly password. And then for your SSH password, which seemed a bit messy to me,
|
||||
and I like SSH keys. So that's that's how I came across the, uh, made my one was looking for a
|
||||
way to do it with SSH keys. Right. Um, Kim did send me a link to run it on one command line.
|
||||
Um, with a dashy, you can run a command when it gets on the on the server.
|
||||
I see. And that was a little bit with the key, but uh, this seat was seemed very tidy. Once you've
|
||||
said it up, you've got to create a profile in roots.ssh config, um, which is basically just the,
|
||||
um, profile name, you use a name, the host name, the port, and then your key pass to the key.
|
||||
And what's that's done is you just type a shuttle, dash or, and then the profile name, zero slash zero,
|
||||
and then then it kind of creates a tunnel. And now, yeah, you'll see it like every port locally
|
||||
will be forced through that. Everything will be forced through that. There is, you can exclude
|
||||
things. If you want to, I don't see why you would, you would want to, unless it's for speed,
|
||||
because you'll be limited to your upload speed on the other side, which I thought sounds nice.
|
||||
Started downloading and I say another night, and why is it so slow?
|
||||
Oh, the finally really, oh, yeah, come connected the shuttle, you're tunneling through everything.
|
||||
Yeah. So just to finish it off, I then wrote a dot desktop file, and put the like on in me,
|
||||
try. So now just click on my column, it pops on for next term, and you can see if it connects.
|
||||
Oh, nice. So it seems to work brilliantly. Yeah, I'll be looking into this. I have been using
|
||||
proxy chains, but then like sometimes I'm lazy or I forget, or a lot of times at the log, it just
|
||||
gets so crazy with everybody talking, you know, I forget to proxy like a hey buddy or something like
|
||||
that. Yeah. And then this would be nice when you get there, turn it on, turn on shuttle, and just,
|
||||
you don't have to worry about it again. Yeah, there's been working really well.
|
||||
Nice. You usually just test it with going to ifconfig.me, just to check your IP address,
|
||||
that's changed. So I just got a static when it works, so I know if I'm connected.
|
||||
So speaking of hey buddy, another thing that you've been getting into lately, you've been
|
||||
packaging everything from for Jezero up into the the a you are, right? Yeah, well, nearly everything.
|
||||
Um, I've yet to look into. Well, he keeps starting a new project every month. Yeah, I've really
|
||||
got to look at Blather, the new one. He's like, and uh, hey buddy, what's the one, uh, what's the one
|
||||
that the music one? Mutton show. Yeah, mutton chop. Yeah, use that all the time. That's just nice little
|
||||
uh, app I wrote a little um, pipe menu for open box. Right. I now just right click on the desktop
|
||||
and play the music. So is this uh, this is something I've never ever looked into, is it,
|
||||
is it tough to package this stuff up? No, it's um, yeah, you are, it makes it really easy.
|
||||
They're basically just follow. It's a word I'm looking for. Don't worry. This all comes out in,
|
||||
in the edit magic. Just follow a template. Um, once you've done one or two, they become really easy
|
||||
just to whip them up. The harder ones are them when he runs them straight, when I have to build
|
||||
them straight from bizarre or from get help. Um, it's just so cool when I look in the, look in the air
|
||||
you are and I see like your name or I think I've seen through up there with one of them. It's it's
|
||||
like, wow, you guys are, you guys are a big time. Ah, it's just where I give you back something
|
||||
and it's um, yeah, something small, but it helps. Yeah, that's, that's, that's the Linux way.
|
||||
It's always surprising when you go to where you are and there's something that's not there.
|
||||
Oh, I've got a wider package built for that one. Um, to get it up there. So, uh, yeah, I've got
|
||||
to look at, uh, blather. This is the next one, Jezre's new, new project. Yeah, sounds like, uh,
|
||||
John Culp's getting into that a lot too. Oh, the video you posted, was it wonderful.
|
||||
I'll have to look at that. They within just saying the commands and control is computing.
|
||||
Uh, uh, Jezre's recent HPR, I guess he was recording the HPR and his blather thing was picking up
|
||||
his voice and started saying stuff out of him. I don't know if you heard that. Yeah, yeah, I did.
|
||||
And then somebody joke and identically the other day, set up two computers and have them talk to
|
||||
each other and just see what happens. Oh, no. So you get the bots from, uh,
|
||||
identica. Yeah, just, just start talking to each other, right? Right.
|
||||
Yeah, the packaging for arch Linux, I mean, what else to say is, um, something I enjoy doing.
|
||||
Right. Nice. What hardware are you running on tonight?
|
||||
This is still the EPC. I set up mumble on this years ago and I just don't touch it. This is still,
|
||||
like, uh, crunch bang statler alpha. And I've just been limping, limping it up, like since from 2009.
|
||||
My, uh, my, my EPC and my desktop, I leave devian based because I don't want to mess with them.
|
||||
Like I do a lot of, uh, I do all the banking and stuff on the desktop. So when I sit down
|
||||
here to check, I don't want to, you know, tweak and update stuff. But my laptop and my VPS have
|
||||
been arched. That's, that's, those are my toys. Yeah, everything I've got arch now. Um, to be honest,
|
||||
arch is the updates have been like really stable. I mean, as long as you pay attention to what
|
||||
they're telling you to do, do this now, do this now, do this now. There's not much breakage these days.
|
||||
No, no, no, I've, I've had very few problems. Um, yeah, a lot of people think it's going to break
|
||||
every time you update it. But well, that's, that's happened to me at least once in the past.
|
||||
Especially, uh, especially if they, they roll something out and you don't do that update and then
|
||||
they roll something out the next time you've probably missed a transition, transition package
|
||||
in the last one. Yeah. And you can, you can get into a little trouble there. Yeah. No, I,
|
||||
I bought an i5 for, for what was going to be for myself, um, with a new real tech carton
|
||||
and it's running mint for my quarry manager at the moment. And the drivers aren't there for it,
|
||||
but I just know I could get it working in order. Yeah. Let's do it. Yeah, we, we run in half of,
|
||||
half of work now. I was running Linux. Nice. Just the accounting side that's, uh,
|
||||
running Windows still. Unfortunately, I can't, can't play it through wine or have you tried?
|
||||
No, I'm, uh, I'm fighting to really. Um, oh, that's true. Yeah. It's, uh, sage accounts.
|
||||
Sorry, tax, man. Yeah. All the files went to dev, no, and I put it on an onward.
|
||||
I can't pay you this week. Uh, I'll watch up date broke with the system.
|
||||
Yes. Oh, your employees are just wondering about the arch up dates, I see. Yeah. But the sales team,
|
||||
well, sales sales team run on mint. They prefer XFC. Actually, um, quarry managers using cinema,
|
||||
the cinnamon. Yeah, I, I, I used the XFC one for a while and then I started messing around with
|
||||
cinema minutes. It's grown, Ami. Yeah. Bad. I've just, I'm running, um, raise a key.
|
||||
I see. With open box still as a window manager. I don't think I can give open box.
|
||||
Open boxes. That's my crunch bang ee, but let's see on my laptop, I've been running, uh,
|
||||
known three. I got used to it. Yeah. After, after much tweaking and dark themes and
|
||||
it, it looks really nice. I complained and I complained and I complained about the hot corner.
|
||||
And now I find I'm in other systems going up to try and hit it. So it is useful and you do get used to it.
|
||||
Yes.
|
||||
Okay. That's the pause. That means that was topic. What three?
|
||||
You should hear raw edits. This is what it sounds like. I look at audacity to say, yeah,
|
||||
audacity is still recording. Yeah. Mine, mine, mine always scares me. It says 22 minutes
|
||||
disk space remaining, but sometimes it'll say 20 hours. Sometimes it'll say 16 minutes.
|
||||
I never know. I don't see any of that. Uh, at the, at the bottom, it says disk space.
|
||||
272 hours. Oh, yeah, but I'm on a 16 gig e. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I've walked for myself. I bought
|
||||
a think pad. I'm on seven think pad, which is boy, you get more hardware. I always see it.
|
||||
Yeah. The last one you got from China, I think, was it i5? Yeah, that was going to be for myself,
|
||||
but um, I say the quarry manager and quarry manager ended up with it because, um,
|
||||
his Dell died. Oh, you keep saying quarry manager and I'm thinking that's a program.
|
||||
Oh, no. You mean the manager of the quarry? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It works for me.
|
||||
Oh, yeah, yeah. Um, yeah, we managed to get recoveries files and, uh, you can tell him sometimes,
|
||||
I thought he was quarry manager 3.0 or something.
|
||||
So you manage to rip all his files off of it and, um, use it, we gave him that i5. I, I,
|
||||
I did stalled our China and, uh, just about got it up and run in the way I liked it and then
|
||||
I gave it away. I was using, I was using an old Acer, uh, Pentium M with a 1.4 processor.
|
||||
That's still got it. It still works. It's, uh, yeah, my last server, before I got the VPS,
|
||||
it was a Dell D410. Yeah. And that was a Pentium M, but it did the job. Yeah. Yeah. Well,
|
||||
once there's, um, a mini 10. That's what I'm running. The Samsung mini, is it? No. Samsung,
|
||||
the tennis Samsung, when that was, well, wife used it and the screen got, um, started flickering
|
||||
and all sorts of them. That's it. I've got a job for that. So it's now the server.
|
||||
Yeah, I got this i7 and it's, uh, I love it. Oh, it's really nice. What make us that?
|
||||
A Lenovo, so think pad. All right. One of the edge ones, not one of the, um, you can beat people
|
||||
up with ones. It's one of the, yeah, the normal ones. The normal, you got the beat people up
|
||||
ones and you got the normal ones. So, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But the better ones are like tanks,
|
||||
aren't they? Well, yeah. I think they're business oriented, you know, built for the road warrior.
|
||||
Yeah. Is this the one where the, uh, the, the top kind of can flip around and go down?
|
||||
No, tablet. Oh, it's a 15 inch one screen. It's an E530. It's been really nice. Everything works.
|
||||
Yeah, I'm keeping my eye on Lenovo's for the next, for my next one. I got a Dell this time and I'm
|
||||
not, it's, it's already like showing stress, stress cracks in the plastic and I'm not particularly
|
||||
happy with it. No, I've, well, I've got a Dell desktop, but, uh, that work, but that's an old,
|
||||
P4, just an old workhorse. Right, right. But that's the only Dell I've got.
|
||||
So again, you're not, you're not running anything like, uh, I recently got a VPS with Lenovo,
|
||||
a Lenovo VPS just for fun. You're not running anything like in the cloudy clouds.
|
||||
No, no, only me own cloudy cloud. Yeah, that's, I haven't put up anything important on it. It's
|
||||
just, it's status net and it's media goblin and I'm starting to mess around with pump IO.
|
||||
It seems like I have to get, uh, SSL certs for pump IO, which I'm not, yeah, I gotta look into that.
|
||||
But, uh, we all got emails the other day that Lenovo has been compromised.
|
||||
And they're not being very, they're not being very forthcoming with what was compromised or where.
|
||||
So we're right in the middle of a, I guess, a breaking investigation. So,
|
||||
Oh, dear. Yeah. I'm glad I don't have anything important up there.
|
||||
I've been, I've looked a little out and, uh, if I ever went that way, I think I would
|
||||
seriously look at government them. That doesn't sound so good.
|
||||
Well, I don't think it's a common occurrence, but, uh, in the last month, I think around March 3,
|
||||
there was an attempted break-in to go after somebody's bitcoins.
|
||||
And now just yesterday or, you know, within the last few days, there's been another breach
|
||||
going after, what Lenovo is saying is they're going after one specific account, but they're,
|
||||
they're not, you know, giving us geeks all the information we want to hear,
|
||||
which can, which kind of leads me to believe that maybe it is like a major investigation, like,
|
||||
you know, the FBI or somebody's in there and, you know, they don't want to leak any information
|
||||
because it will hurt their case. So this does kind of sound serious.
|
||||
That's, uh, quite funny, really. Like you say, it's good to have anything important there.
|
||||
Yeah. Have you been hacking my systems, Tim Timmy?
|
||||
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, look towards Cornwall.
|
||||
I wouldn't know where to start. Oh, that's really. You got my rip password.
|
||||
No, that's so far above my head. It's, uh, it amazes me.
|
||||
Yeah. I, I joke around a lot that, you know, I have backtrack and ha ha, you know,
|
||||
it's kind of like a little joke. Yeah, I wouldn't really know how to use it effectively. It's just,
|
||||
I mess around with it and I actually scripts for
|
||||
Wi-Fi and whatever. I've been asked a few times to recover passwords.
|
||||
And, um, and routers, the one at work that was installed by our ISP.
|
||||
When I moved the server there, they wanted, I wanted, obviously, open port 80 and the SSH port.
|
||||
Few other things. And, uh, we don't know what the password is. The router's not ours.
|
||||
I said, well, it's got your name on the side and, uh, ring this number for support.
|
||||
Was it, was it a Linux? It wasn't a Linux box?
|
||||
Um, there's, it's a, uh, Dre Tech router. Oh, I see. Um, because I just, I just recently did a password
|
||||
research, just, uh, going in with a live CD and sherooting to a system, change the root password.
|
||||
Yeah. Yeah. If you have physical access, you have everything. That's, yeah. But, um,
|
||||
some nice chat wrote, uh, little suite of tools called Dratos. And, uh, as long as you're on the
|
||||
network, you can get the password. There's a, I wrote a little, uh, how to in the outlaws forum.
|
||||
On that one. Okay. Cool. Just, just for a note for myself for future use. It's, uh, and the
|
||||
password they used was embarrassing. It's so simple. Was it password? Was it one? No, no,
|
||||
it's basically the company name. Oh, it's not even backwards. It was just the company name, which
|
||||
was, uh, it makes me shake my head. Isn't it amazing? Like, there's just, that just keeps coming up
|
||||
and keeps coming up. It's, it's, it's terrible passwords. When are people going to learn?
|
||||
It's so simple. I didn't even think of Troy in it when I was, uh, out of two goes the password.
|
||||
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like you don't even try password one, two, three, four anymore.
|
||||
Who would have used this? Yeah. There it is. Yeah. Speaking of the yellow forums, uh,
|
||||
they seem to be dwindling. It's sad. Yeah. I feel like an old buddy. Yeah. I'm as guilty as most
|
||||
for not checking in so much as I walked to. That's where you and I, that's where you and I met.
|
||||
Like, uh, oh, five, uh, we were the early days, like within the first six or eight months,
|
||||
it was running. So there's a whole episode 15 or 16 and got into the, um, outlaws.
|
||||
And we all used to just hang out, a whole bunch of us just used to hang out in there all night,
|
||||
using it like a chat room. So those were the good old days. Yeah. Brilliant. Get up in the morning
|
||||
and chat with everyone around me. Yeah. Try and keep up on like, uh, threads that go 80 pages with all
|
||||
kinds of, uh, gimped images in them. Oh, good old days. But now we have social networks,
|
||||
which we have so many social networks. It's becoming anti-social, which is kind of strange.
|
||||
People are getting left with little pockets here and there. Yeah. I've, I've, well,
|
||||
I haven't got a Google account, so I don't use Google Plus, where most of the world seems to be
|
||||
these days. Yeah. Don't use Facebook. I've got my, uh, little status net account. Yep. And my,
|
||||
my own one, my own server. Yeah, that's, that's me as well. I kind of don't trust the Google. I've,
|
||||
I've seen this happen before. I don't know how to explain it, but, uh, we all,
|
||||
we all thought Microsoft was a monopoly and it just seems like these, they are building up to be
|
||||
everything, the internet, basically. Yeah. It's just kind of scary. Yeah. Yeah. I tend not to use
|
||||
a services. I've just given my wife, um, my upgrade. I'm staying with my N900 and I gave her the,
|
||||
uh, Samsung S3 I had. And, uh, I just installed, um, the, the free market on there is, uh,
|
||||
F droid, isn't it? F droid, yeah. Yeah. We didn't set up a Google account, and there's plenty in
|
||||
there for, for her needs. Hmm. But, uh, no, I, I, I don't use much of the Google services at all.
|
||||
Yeah. Fellow tinfoil hat you are. Google translate is about the, the only service I really use.
|
||||
Well, I, I do do with the search. I mean, it is really good search. And yes, I used the translate,
|
||||
but I don't subscribe to any other, any other services. No. Well, I, I do have one for the phone,
|
||||
but it's like something I never check. Somehow the phone sinks. Sinks, sinks, uh, addresses and
|
||||
stuff like that or phone numbers. But I suppose I need that. I would like to find a way to do that
|
||||
myself. Like sink it to my own server. That would be great. Yeah. Someone must be working on that.
|
||||
As I'm saying it, I'm wondering. So there's another HPR for someone out there. If you know how to do
|
||||
that, I want to hear it. All right. So cool, man. Uh, it was nice talking with you. We, we should have
|
||||
done this years ago. Yeah, but no, yeah, we should have. Yeah. Well, I'm getting a nice pool of
|
||||
people I can go back and get to record with me. So I'm putting you on the list anytime you like.
|
||||
Anytime. All right. Cool. You got any, uh, what was that word? Contact information. Yeah, you can
|
||||
reach me. Oh, probably this on my status net instance is probably the easiest, uh, which is
|
||||
micro dash timmy dot dy n dns dot org slash micro, which is a bit of an ass end of a URL.
|
||||
Link will be in the show note. Sure. Yeah. As long as you tape them up. Okay. And I'm, uh,
|
||||
NY bill at gun monkey net dot net or, you know, I did get my, uh, I did get my
|
||||
identity going back up and running. So that's, uh, NY bill at status dot gun monkey net dot net.
|
||||
So cool. Talk to you again, pal. Yeah. Thank you. Cheers. All right. No problem. See you actually.
