| 06:20.19 | z00dax | there is atleast 1 more person |
| 06:20.44 | morsing | So not 55000 as I thought? |
| 06:21.08 | z00dax | the 54998 other people are just imaginary friends :) |
| 06:21.24 | z00dax | and they are all called Tom |
| 06:21.47 | morsing | Sounds nice :) |
| 06:22.03 | morsing | So who's this other person? |
| 06:22.37 | z00dax | someone called Albert, he works as a sysadmin for BT |
| 06:22.50 | morsing | &@7? |
| 06:22.56 | morsing | AIX? |
| 06:23.32 | morsing | What's his IRC nick? |
| 06:23.48 | z00dax | i dont know, got email from him - sems more network types than system types actually |
| 06:31.45 | morsing | How's things anway? |
| 06:32.08 | z00dax | very busy - had to make this trip sort of unplanned really, and its been absolutely manic here |
| 06:32.25 | z00dax | but the weather has been outstanding and I've got to meet a very large number of people in the family. |
| 06:32.50 | z00dax | its scary, i have so many relatives |
| 06:33.15 | morsing | Hmm... |

| 06:36.24 | morsing | 'k |
| 06:36.33 | z00dax | one cha, who i always imagined as being 14 - based on the way he emails / behaves on irc - turned out to be in the mid 50's |

| 07:30.52 | cpufreak | fuck off. |
| 07:31.04 | morsing | cpufreak: That's really nice isn't it,. |

| 09:54.50 | blight | Is there a per-process filehandle limit in 2.6 or are filehandles allocated from system wide pool until system wide pool is depleted? |
| 10:02.14 | antiphase | 1024 |
| 10:02.46 | antiphase | See /etc/security/limits.conf for PAM-aware stuff, and `ulimit -n` |
| 10:05.46 | blight | antiphase: thanks, and if that's unlimited, uses OS limit? |
| 10:08.50 | antiphase | If `ulimit -a` says it's unlimited, it's unlimited |
| 10:09.13 | antiphase | If you want more than 1024 which is the default, you will have to be root to raise the limit |
| 10:09.37 | antiphase | e.g. `ulimit -n 65536` |
| 10:10.02 | blight | so the 1024 limit is default per user, not per process then |
| 10:11.51 | antiphase | It applies to the current shell (it is assumed you are using bash, into which it is built-in) |
| 10:13.41 | blight | antiphase: okay, and if you start a new shell, more filehandles fine ... |
| 10:14.21 | blight | antiphase: which would explain why ulimit -n user reports 4096 yet lsof -Uu user | wc -l reports 12496 |

| 13:07.49 | secretlondon | I still have two hairy builders in my flat |
| 13:08.00 | secretlondon | but one of the two electricians has gone now |
| 13:08.19 | secretlondon | the other hasn't arrived and apparently isn't answering his mobile |

| 13:08.21 | dick_turpin | secretlondon: Let them go, they're scared now |
| 13:08.32 | secretlondon | dick: but they are making stuff nicer |
| 13:08.39 | secretlondon | this is a good thing |
| 13:08.45 | bilarh_ | what kind of work are you having done? |
| 13:08.54 | dick_turpin | secretlondon: I thought maybe you was holding them hostage? |
| 13:09.06 | bilarh_ | gregj: excellent site :) |
| 13:09.11 | secretlondon | I'm having very overdue maintenance done that we had to get solicitors involved in to get fixed |

| 13:09.45 | bilarh_ | or maybe arsonist, come to think of it |
| 13:10.05 | secretlondon | I'm sure terrorist will do, they'll claim it's a politically motivated attack on property |

| 13:11.50 | secretlondon | I've just reported T Mobile to the advertising standards authority for advertising "unlimited browsing" with a fair use limit of 1gb/month |
| 13:12.11 | secretlondon | this is what happens when I get bored |
| 13:14.30 | bilarh_ | i have that "flext walk and surf" package from t-mobile |
| 13:14.37 | bilarh_ | and apparently, it gives me unlimited access |
| 13:14.57 | bilarh_ | but every time i surf to like five pages on my mobile, i get this message saying "you're over your daily allowance" |
| 13:15.03 | bilarh_ | ffs, i pay 8 quid per month for that as well |
| 13:15.26 | Leeds | I pay about 8 quid a month for unlimited GPRS |
| 13:15.36 | secretlondon | bilarh_ that's what i've reported |
| 13:15.47 | bilarh_ | secretlondon: good! |
| 13:16.06 | secretlondon | http://secretlondon.livejournal.com/309084.html |
| 13:16.24 | secretlondon | They have 3 levels of "unlimited browsing" if you read the small print |
| 13:16.47 | bilarh_ | it was sold to me as "unlimited browsing, innit mate" |
| 13:16.55 | secretlondon | I suspect they will argue it's unlimited as in it isn't wap |
| 13:17.06 | secretlondon | but it has a very low fair use limit |
| 13:17.14 | dick_turpin | secretlondon: You gotta love the cheek, how can you have levels of unlimited? |
| 13:17.16 | secretlondon | especially on the cheapest one |
| 13:17.24 | secretlondon | dick_turpin: exactly! |
| 13:18.33 | secretlondon | 1 GB/month, 3GB/month and 10GB/month if you spend $loads |
| 13:18.41 | dick_turpin | secretlondon: Supposedly HMG are looking into making a law that makes the likes of BT ect state *Exactly* the speeds, amounts ext that you are *Actually* getting |
| 13:19.05 | secretlondon | but that's really hard to quantify |
| 13:19.27 | secretlondon | I think we should all report dodgy advertising, it's just a web form after all |
| 13:19.43 | secretlondon | currently it looks like they spend their time reporting ecah other |
| 13:19.57 | dick_turpin | secretlondon: Yes and no for example BT has a pretty good idea what connection speed you are getting from a given exchange |
| 13:20.15 | secretlondon | but things like congestion are based on your ISP and other usage |
| 13:20.26 | dick_turpin | secretlondon: So this rubbish of "Up to 8MB* will be done away with |
| 13:20.58 | secretlondon | it's the whole unlimited-but-actually-not-at-all stuff that really needs cracking down on |
| 13:21.19 | dick_turpin | bilarh_: The sun has just burst through my window it must be the sun you was expecting |
| 13:21.23 | secretlondon | it related to the bBC iplayer stuff when they can't provide enough bandwidth to deal with all the kontiki p2p traffic |
| 13:21.39 | bilarh_ | dick_turpin: royal mail strikes again, send it here immediately! |
| 13:22.52 | dick_turpin | bilarh_: Our Postman (Or is that Person now?) has just come in all smiles "We are on strike as of tomorrow until next Wednesday" |
| 13:23.04 | secretlondon | nah it's still sat i think |
| 13:23.40 | dick_turpin | secretlondon: This is the Midlands we deliver our post when we bally well please up here ;-) |
| 13:25.46 | secretlondon | we get deliveries once a day at 3, when they can be bothered |
| 13:27.14 | boudiccas | good job amazon doesn't use royal mail, i need my textbooks today |
| 13:28.11 | secretlondon | amazon's random delivery service is worse - they don't have a central depot to collect stuff from |
| 13:28.31 | dick_turpin | boudiccas: Thats a point I just ordered some DVD's from HMV thats them gone for a burton then |
| 13:28.40 | secretlondon | I can't use their free delivery as I can't deal with random people and private transport |
| 13:29.11 | boudiccas | dick_turpin; so you'll have something to look forward to next week |
| 13:30.05 | dick_turpin | boudiccas: Cor this has been such a cool month and its not over yet. openSUSE 10.3 tomorrow :-) |
| 13:30.33 | boudiccas | dick_turpin; why not stick with the best and use Centos 5? |
| 13:32.50 | boudiccas | :) |
| 13:32.52 | dick_turpin | boudiccas: Now you know I love ArchLinux but seriuosly this latest SUSE looks awsome |
| 13:33.34 | boudiccas | i'll stick with what my hardware can handle and thats a RH-based distro |
| 13:34.14 | dick_turpin | boudiccas: I like CentOS as as well but we cant run them all can we? |

| 13:59.43 | dick_turpin | secretlondon: Failing that a request for tea every 5 mins |
| 14:00.18 | dick_turpin | wethrin: you beat me to it :-) |
| 14:00.38 | secretlondon | they didn't actually ask for tea at all - but they did disappear for a suspiciously long time at two intervals |
| 14:00.39 | wethrin | :) |
| 14:00.51 | secretlondon | they were bum crack free |
| 14:00.56 | secretlondon | that I could see |

| 14:02.26 | wethrin | is it time for coffee yet? |
| 14:02.34 | secretlondon | at both times it was called "breakfast" |

| 14:02.59 | secretlondon | and I've already found 1 thing that doesn't work |
| 14:03.20 | dick_turpin | secretlondon: They must have been rubbish, no bum crack and no requests for bacon buttys |
| 14:03.32 | wethrin | mmm....bacon |
| 14:03.37 | secretlondon | well they were repairing the kitchen, so making food would have been hard |
| 14:04.58 | dick_turpin | secretlondon: Did'nt they set up one of them little tents with a bin that has loads of holes in it which they burn anything and everything in? |
| 14:15.34 | secretlondon | I've def got evidence they were here though - no loo roll AT ALL |

| 17:14.23 | secretlondon | they have a south thames office but it doesn't cover Brixton.. |
| 17:14.54 | wethrin | avoiding Brixton sounds like a good idea |
| 17:21.08 | secretlondon | it's just the broken-ness of my housing association to put half of their south london stiock under the north london office |
| 17:21.48 | Discordian | Brixton is quite happening |
