kolp | Ah, and there is the banner when starting it | 02:12 |
dos1 | hmm | 02:14 |
xes | dos1: my opinion about the front camera is that there is some N900 that gives worst images | 02:14 |
dos1 | it looks better in video call | 02:14 |
dos1 | much better | 02:14 |
dos1 | i can see my face there | 02:14 |

DocScrutinizer05 | the convo about frontcam was very inspiring. I think we need to check indepth how it#s handled and what might apps like "video call2 do to the hw config in cam chip | 06:55 |
DocScrutinizer05 | yes it's known to need lots of light to work semi-decent | 06:56 |
DocScrutinizer05 | it's also known from early N900 days that Nokia shiped several camdriver improvements to main cam but iirc also to frontcam | 06:56 |
*** robbiethe1st has quit IRC | 06:56 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | freemangordon: ^^^ you might be interested in those details as of convo above | 06:57 |
freemangordon | DocScrutinizer05: hmm? | 06:58 |
DocScrutinizer05 | abysmal quality of frontcam when using mirror, until you did a video call after which is seems to be much better. Interesting, isn't it? | 06:59 |
DocScrutinizer05 | ("mirror" is an app) | 06:59 |
freemangordon | no, it isn't, it just shows that mirror is of bad quality | 06:59 |
freemangordon | there is V2L API to control front cam properties, obviously mirror isn't using it | 07:00 |
DocScrutinizer05 | :nod: | 07:00 |
DocScrutinizer05 | but how would frontcam the "get better" after doing a video call, for mirror app? | 07:01 |
freemangordon | it is the same story about gtalk video has way better quality than skype | 07:01 |
DocScrutinizer05 | wouldn't cam get powered down and reset each time it gets opened? | 07:01 |
freemangordon | sure, but driver restores what's been last set | 07:01 |
DocScrutinizer05 | s/the7then get better... | 07:02 |
freemangordon | or v2l, not sure which layer | 07:02 |
DocScrutinizer05 | ooh | 07:02 |
DocScrutinizer05 | interesting | 07:02 |
DocScrutinizer05 | so where's the "persistance storage"? | 07:02 |
freemangordon | the same happens if you use man camera through gstreamer | 07:02 |
freemangordon | *main | 07:03 |
DocScrutinizer05 | weird | 07:03 |
freemangordon | if you want good quality, you need to open the camera-ui, close it and then use gstreamer | 07:03 |
DocScrutinizer05 | kernel module var area? | 07:03 |
DocScrutinizer05 | gconf? | 07:03 |
DocScrutinizer05 | cam chip registers themselves? | 07:03 |
freemangordon | DocScrutinizer05: not sure, but I think it is kernel, as it saves the context on suspend and restores it on resume, iirc | 07:04 |
freemangordon | the context == registers | 07:04 |
DocScrutinizer05 | yep, so a modprobe -r should "fix" that, eh? | 07:04 |
freemangordon | maybe, never tried | 07:04 |
DocScrutinizer05 | IOW unloading the kernel driver module should kill qulaity again | 07:04 |
freemangordon | :nod: | 07:05 |
DocScrutinizer05 | we need sb to test this | 07:05 |
freemangordon | sb? | 07:05 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I never even noticed the effect to start with | 07:05 |
DocScrutinizer05 | somebody | 07:05 |
freemangordon | ever used the mirror app? | 07:05 |
DocScrutinizer05 | yes | 07:05 |
DocScrutinizer05 | and yes the quality is abysmal | 07:06 |
freemangordon | for sure the quality is bad | 07:06 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I never noticed it getting better, not to think of *how* to do that | 07:06 |
DocScrutinizer05 | no video calls here | 07:06 |
freemangordon | make a video call :) | 07:06 |
freemangordon | aah | 07:06 |
DocScrutinizer05 | never managed to do a single video call in my life | 07:06 |
freemangordon | register 2 google accounts and call your PC from your n900 | 07:07 |
freemangordon | or the opposite | 07:07 |
freemangordon | video call that is | 07:07 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I tried from one SIP client to another one on same account, but my SIP provider doesn't even support video calls at all | 07:07 |
*** ZogG_laptop has quit IRC | 07:07 | |
freemangordon | gtalk supports | 07:07 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I for sure won't register a google account | 07:08 |
freemangordon | as is skype :P | 07:08 |
DocScrutinizer05 | no skype on my devices | 07:08 |
DocScrutinizer05 | thus I said "we need somebody..." | 07:08 |
DocScrutinizer05 | best somebody who actually noticed the improvement already | 07:09 |
freemangordon | no options left then, but you can ply a bit with mplayer, afaik it should support camera properties | 07:09 |
freemangordon | play | 07:09 |
freemangordon | so you can tweak exposure etc from it | 07:09 |
DocScrutinizer05 | sure, I know | 07:09 |
freemangordon | btw what do you want to "test"? | 07:10 |
DocScrutinizer05 | but I'd prefer to get the improvement anf reversal thereof by rmmod approved first | 07:10 |
DocScrutinizer05 | ^^^ | 07:10 |
freemangordon | use mplayer to put brightness/exposure to max, check the quality with mirror, rmmod, modprobe, check agaimn | 07:11 |
DocScrutinizer05 | that would assume I see an improvement and I'd know to play with mplayer | 07:11 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I want the effect as reported by dos getting checked via "rmmod" | 07:12 |
DocScrutinizer05 | that's all | 07:12 |
freemangordon | you'll see improvement, that is for sure, I already tried it an year or so ago :) | 07:12 |
DocScrutinizer05 | once we know how that improvement works, we can think of proper initialization on modprobe | 07:12 |
freemangordon | I even got mirror sources thinking to fix it, but I gave up as there were more interesting things to play with | 07:13 |
DocScrutinizer05 | this shouldn't get done on a per-app basis. udev is the right place to invoke a post-modprobe configurator daemon | 07:14 |
freemangordon | DocScrutinizer05: you can't, setting camera props should be done on as-needed basis | 07:14 |
DocScrutinizer05 | this would fix _all_ usecases that forget to do proper init themselves | 07:14 |
DocScrutinizer05 | sure, but it can't hurt to have optimized defaults | 07:15 |
freemangordon | no, you can't know in advance what the light conditions will be when those broken apps are started | 07:15 |
DocScrutinizer05 | obviously what modprobe resp kernel driver init gives you is suboptimal | 07:15 |
freemangordon | the same for the resolution btw | 07:16 |
freemangordon | the default that driver gives you, is everything set to min | 07:16 |
freemangordon | inc resolution | 07:16 |
freemangordon | which is sane IMO | 07:16 |
DocScrutinizer05 | so what? since you can't know which light we will have, you configure the module to 1billion lux ambient in kernel init? | 07:16 |
freemangordon | it is up to the application to decide how to use the camera | 07:17 |
DocScrutinizer05 | that's insane approach | 07:17 |
freemangordon | the option is to implement some "auto mode" in the driver | 07:17 |
DocScrutinizer05 | every hardware should come up with semi-usable defaults, not any crap that leaves it semi-broken | 07:17 |
DocScrutinizer05 | obviously frontcam startup defaults are unbearable for *every* usecase | 07:18 |
freemangordon | yep | 07:18 |
DocScrutinizer05 | they aren't optimized for *anything* | 07:18 |
freemangordon | sure they aren't, but again, it is not the driver to guess what application wants to do | 07:19 |
DocScrutinizer05 | so no matter for what you optinize them - nightview or flash use - OPTIMIZE THEM for something! | 07:19 |
freemangordon | it is the application to tell the driver | 07:19 |
DocScrutinizer05 | again, that's an insane rationale | 07:19 |
freemangordon | could be, but this is what I think | 07:19 |
DocScrutinizer05 | ok, what are the values you'd pick for defaults of frontcam? | 07:20 |
DocScrutinizer05 | your birthday? | 07:20 |
DocScrutinizer05 | NaN? | 07:20 |
freemangordon | everything on min | 07:20 |
DocScrutinizer05 | or something that at least *sometimes* works? | 07:21 |
freemangordon | and this falls in your "sane defaults" category :) | 07:21 |
DocScrutinizer05 | why not everything at max? | 07:21 |
freemangordon | no reason | 07:21 |
DocScrutinizer05 | no, it does NOT | 07:21 |
freemangordon | that is why it is hard to define "sane default values" | 07:21 |
DocScrutinizer05 | sane default values are what works best with the most common usecase | 07:21 |
DocScrutinizer05 | it's not at all hard to define | 07:22 |
freemangordon | the most common usecase for the front cam is video calling | 07:22 |
freemangordon | ;) | 07:22 |
DocScrutinizer05 | fine | 07:22 |
chainsawbike | freemangordon, DocScrutinizer05, to add my 2c - the app _needs_ to be changing these as it is environment Dependant, but semi-usable default would be nice (if only for testing) | 07:23 |
DocScrutinizer05 | hten make kernel module configue the chip to the values needed for video calling, on module init | 07:23 |
DocScrutinizer05 | otherwise I insist in using MY birthday date for register init, not min, max, or freemangordon's birthday ;-P | 07:24 |
freemangordon | chainsawbike: you can use V2L API to set the camera to whatever you like, V2L is still driver "layer" albeit not in the kernel | 07:25 |
DocScrutinizer05 | that's all fine and would be sad if it wasn't like that | 07:25 |
freemangordon | maybe V2L have a way to set some defaults, dunno | 07:25 |
DocScrutinizer05 | but that doesn't change *anything* in the reasoning to get *sane* defaults on module init | 07:26 |
*** beford has quit IRC | 07:26 | |
kerio | i don't think you can have sane defaults | 07:26 |
*** jeropun has joined #maemo | 07:27 | |
kerio | camera settings depend on the outside world too much | 07:27 |
DocScrutinizer05 | sure, we can easily do a helper that gets invoked by udev on modprobe and opens cam for 0.01s with correct parameters, exploiting gstreamer or whatever you see fit | 07:27 |
DocScrutinizer05 | kerio: please read backscroll!!!! | 07:27 |
freemangordon | DocScrutinizer05: and that would make absolutely no difference to now | 07:28 |
DocScrutinizer05 | kerio: while you can't have sane defaults maybe, this is no exciuse to have MAD defaults | 07:28 |
freemangordon | because I am saying that putting everything to min is best for me as I livo on the beach and use the cam only between 10 and 16 | 07:28 |
DocScrutinizer05 | even then you can't use that default since it simply doesn't work | 07:29 |
DocScrutinizer05 | it's a flaw of kernel module devels who simply didn't think of initializing their values to something semi-decent. Just like with current-max on LP5523 | 07:30 |
freemangordon | DocScrutinizer05: and what about is someone changes those settings | 07:30 |
freemangordon | is/if/ | 07:30 |
DocScrutinizer05 | then they are changed? | 07:31 |
DocScrutinizer05 | don't get you | 07:31 |
freemangordon | but they are no more those "works for everyone" defaults | 07:31 |
freemangordon | should we keep them or reset? | 07:31 |
DocScrutinizer05 | DOENT work for everyone is what we got now | 07:31 |
DocScrutinizer05 | aaah *now* I get it | 07:32 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I'm talking about kernel init | 07:32 |
freemangordon | DocScrutinizer05: see, it is not only the exposure etc, it is also the resolution | 07:32 |
freemangordon | what is the best resolution? | 07:32 |
DocScrutinizer05 | that's why I asked for checing if those persistent settings go away with rmmod | 07:32 |
DocScrutinizer05 | when they vanish with rmmod you want have new sane ones with insmod | 07:33 |
freemangordon | and not only the resolution, but framerate too | 07:33 |
DocScrutinizer05 | yesyesyesyes | 07:33 |
DocScrutinizer05 | all quite irrelevant | 07:33 |
DocScrutinizer05 | every app is free to change that to whatever it needs | 07:33 |
freemangordon | exactly | 07:34 |
freemangordon | and not only free to, but have to | 07:34 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I#m talking about the initial defaults | 07:34 |
freemangordon | I know | 07:34 |
*** Custodian has joined #maemo | 07:34 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | and those HAVE TO be saner than they are now, cause the ones we have now are defunct | 07:34 |
* chainsawbike would set it to work under the ambient lighting of my workspace by default to make testing easy and call any application broken that did not adjust it for the current conditions | 07:34 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | chainsawbike: exactly | 07:35 |
DocScrutinizer05 | since that's most likely the most common usecase anyway | 07:35 |
freemangordon | But a camera application that simply starts a stream without giving the user a tool to control the camera is simply broken. IMO | 07:35 |
DocScrutinizer05 | so what? | 07:35 |
freemangordon | and I would call that WFM approach :P | 07:35 |
DocScrutinizer05 | yes, it is | 07:35 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I would call that a "let's punish them2 approach by the kernel driver devels | 07:36 |

freemangordon | DocScrutinizer05: if we assume something is broken, I'd rather say it is V2L, not the module | 07:37 |
DocScrutinizer05 | "ooh your PSU exploded? too bad, you shouldn't have activated it without proper config of mains power range before you do so" | 07:37 |
freemangordon | DocScrutinizer05: on the opposite, keeping everything to min is the safest approach | 07:37 |
DocScrutinizer05 | in my book every module should come up with sane safe working defaults | 07:38 |
DocScrutinizer05 | safe for what, goddamn? | 07:38 |
freemangordon | for your PSU | 07:38 |
freemangordon | I took your example | 07:38 |
DocScrutinizer05 | safe for making every crappy app fail epically | 07:38 |
freemangordon | it is not the kernal that should babysit crappy apps | 07:39 |
freemangordon | kernel even | 07:39 |
DocScrutinizer05 | in my PSU example keeping mains voltage to min is a sure way to make the PSU explode ;-P | 07:39 |
DocScrutinizer05 | freemangordon: you're arguing on a "let's punish them,CBA to init that to 100 instead of using the compiler default" approach | 07:40 |
jonwil | hmmm, I recon I could clone libdevlock if it wasnt for the totally confusing function that actually stores the devicelock in CAL :P | 07:41 |
DocScrutinizer05 | keeping everything at 0 on module init has ZILCH rationale nor benefit | 07:41 |
freemangordon | DocScrutinizer51: if we apply "sane defaults" to the audio for example, what would be it? | 07:41 |
DocScrutinizer05 | 0 | 07:41 |
DocScrutinizer05 | except for one default volume path | 07:42 |
freemangordon | exactly the same for the video | 07:42 |
DocScrutinizer05 | no | 07:42 |
DocScrutinizer05 | since video is a sensor, no actor | 07:42 |
freemangordon | what about microphone? | 07:42 |
freemangordon | should it be disabled or enabled? with what gain? | 07:43 |
DocScrutinizer05 | obviously should be set to a sane boost level and gain to semidecently handel a 60dBm | 07:43 |
DocScrutinizer05 | though that's ALSA stuff, not kernel module. And ALSA DOES that already | 07:44 |
freemangordon | there is no "sane level" for sensors which vastly depend on the outside world conditions | 07:44 |
DocScrutinizer05 | it restores last settings on boot time | 07:44 |
DocScrutinizer05 | freemangordon: stop telling nonsense, of course there are settings that are more sane than others | 07:44 |

*** dafox has joined #maemo | 07:45 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | when there is no "sane level2 in your book, then why arguing against my request to change those settings from 0 to maybe 100 or whatever I may come up with? | 07:45 |
chainsawbike | freemangordon, yes it is very dependant on external factors but what is the harm in setting it up to work somewhere by default ( a dev workspace for example) | 07:46 |
DocScrutinizer05 | exactly | 07:46 |
DocScrutinizer05 | there *is* something like a "standard" environment | 07:46 |
freemangordon | my point is - you can change the defaults to whatever you like (in the kernel), but broken apps are just that - broken apps, and it is not the kernel that sould fix them | 07:47 |
DocScrutinizer05 | and a sensor should work OOTB for such standard environment | 07:47 |
DocScrutinizer05 | SO WHAT?????? | 07:47 |

DocScrutinizer05 | forget that friggin app | 07:52 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I want a sensor to work OOTB, no matter how poorly | 07:52 |
freemangordon | and that is what you have | 07:52 |
DocScrutinizer05 | it makes no sense to initialize it to a state where it doesn't work at all | 07:52 |
DocScrutinizer05 | NO | 07:52 |
*** drussell has quit IRC | 07:53 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | definizely not true for frontcam | 07:53 |

DocScrutinizer05 | bullshit | 07:53 |
DocScrutinizer05 | meh, i'll patch that shite myself and upstream it. Don't need you for that | 07:54 |
chainsawbike | DocScrutinizer05, enough light... | 07:54 |
DocScrutinizer05 | setting everything to zero is definitely the most idiotic setting you could find for cam | 07:56 |
freemangordon | DocScrutinizer05: try it (upstreaming) but I bet you'll get exactly the same responce as mine :) | 07:56 |
DocScrutinizer05 | even setting everything to max sensitivity is better than that | 07:56 |
freemangordon | though... who knows | 07:57 |
* jonwil wonders if reverse engineering libdevlock and devlocktool is worth the effort... | 07:57 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | freemangordon: I bet against that, since I can support my point using the cam manuf's suggested range of opperation values from datasheet, and setting values for the module somewhwre to the arithmetic or geometric middle of those is for sure a more sound approach than setting everything to zero | 07:58 |
jonwil | probably not :) | 07:58 |
freemangordon | DocScrutinizer05: ok | 07:58 |
freemangordon | what about resolution and framerate? | 07:59 |
DocScrutinizer05 | you said yourself it's usually used for video | 07:59 |
freemangordon | frontcam supports 180x120, 320x240 and 640x480 | 07:59 |
freemangordon | not sure about the framerates | 08:00 |
DocScrutinizer05 | that makes VGA 25fps in my book, nit 0 fps and 0 resolution | 08:00 |
freemangordon | not sure n900 can handle VGA@25fps video streaming | 08:00 |
DocScrutinizer05 | and of course you configure sensors to their full capability, not to sth downsized | 08:00 |
*** LauRoman has joined #maemo | 08:01 | |
freemangordon | skype uses 180x120, gtalk 320x240 iirc | 08:01 |
DocScrutinizer05 | when N900 can't support 25fps then you obviously set it to the max it *can* support | 08:01 |
freemangordon | and ofc it depends on what the other side can handle | 08:02 |
freemangordon | and iirc ususlly video call is @ 12fps | 08:02 |
DocScrutinizer05 | the sensor shall work by the most simple means, like "cat $input >$output" | 08:02 |
DocScrutinizer05 | and it should provide the best it can, in that mode | 08:03 |
DocScrutinizer05 | this is a general rule for all sensors | 08:03 |
DocScrutinizer05 | so max resolution, max sampling rate, max sensitivity and so on | 08:04 |
freemangordon | DocScrutinizer05: maybe you should check what ISP in OMAP is | 08:04 |
DocScrutinizer05 | maybe I should stop arguinfg with somebody who thinks "punish them" is a good approach since it doesn't require the kernel devel to muse about sane defaults | 08:05 |
freemangordon | it is not only the sensor (and its module), there is dedicated HW who does exactly what you need, it even gives yout the histogram | 08:05 |
DocScrutinizer05 | and I couldn't care less about that last point of yours since it won't change my notion on this | 08:06 |
freemangordon | ok, lets agree to disagree :) | 08:06 |
DocScrutinizer05 | setting everything to zero just because compiler initializes vars to zero is a poor and silly approach | 08:06 |
DocScrutinizer05 | pathetic approach even | 08:06 |
DocScrutinizer05 | as soon as you start to think about that, you easily find ~65534 better values to initialize than just zero | 08:08 |
*** dafox has quit IRC | 08:08 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | and probably any optiomum is anywhere between 500 and 30000 | 08:10 |
DocScrutinizer05 | definitely zero is no optimum, not even a lame compromise, not even any rationale at all to support that approach. Except "let's punish them" | 08:11 |
*** jeropun has quit IRC | 08:11 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | what is the default baudrate of an UART? zero? | 08:13 |

*** HylianHero has quit IRC | 08:14 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | sure you *should* use stty to configure the 8n1 and 9600 or 19200 or 64k or whatever you want. but ZERO for sure is the most idiotic value for UART baudrate to have as default. Same for camera | 08:14 |
freemangordon | DocScrutinizer05: it is not UART driver that sets the default, get my point? | 08:15 |
freemangordon | afaik it is tty driver | 08:15 |
DocScrutinizer05 | uhuh, so who else is setting uart to a particular speed? is it random? | 08:16 |
DocScrutinizer05 | there MUST be some speed the UART is set to when it gets loaded | 08:16 |
DocScrutinizer05 | and I doubt you even *can* set that to zero | 08:17 |
freemangordon | it is passed through cmdline | 08:17 |
DocScrutinizer05 | nonsense, you *can* pass that via cmdline. That's not any default though | 08:17 |

DocScrutinizer05 | (just on a sidenote: for UARTs there seem to be ~4 "sane" defaults: 300, 1200. 9600, 19200. No kernel driver or whoever will initialize a UART to 120, 600, 38400 or whatever) | 08:26 |
DocScrutinizer05 | these values have historical and practical reasons, and they have sound rationale why they are used | 08:27 |
DocScrutinizer05 | for every sensor you can find similar reasoning why you should use a certain (range of) values for module init default | 08:29 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I honestly doubt zero for all values of a camera has *any* such sound rationale | 08:30 |
DocScrutinizer05 | e.g stabdard PAL or NTSC or VGA would be a sane fallback and default | 08:31 |
DocScrutinizer05 | and a exposure that somehow meets a normal daylight outside situation | 08:33 |
DocScrutinizer05 | a less crappy chip would automatically set those values on reset | 08:34 |
DocScrutinizer05 | in taht case the kernel module usually wants to just keep whatever the chip came up with | 08:34 |
DocScrutinizer05 | in other cases manufactuers clearly state defaults | 08:35 |
DocScrutinizer05 | when they don't then they state recommended operating conditions which usually are ranges and you want to pick a value for defaults that is "middle" of the range by whatever algo you use to find that middle | 08:36 |
DocScrutinizer05 | for other sensors you want them to come up with maximum sensitivity | 08:37 |
DocScrutinizer05 | actors you usually make come up with actual operation set to inactive, and limits set to those the hw manufacturer specified | 08:37 |
DocScrutinizer05 | but you ALWAYS can find a better and less embarrassing (for your reputation as developr) value for defaults, than simply "all zero" | 08:38 |
DocScrutinizer05 | there are situations where you don't want to come up with any sane working default at all - e.g. firmware for WLAN chip. But that's another topic not applicable for simple settings like exposure and ISO and framerate/resolution of a camera | 08:40 |
DocScrutinizer05 | btw I never looked in V4L2 or the camdriver kernel API, but I could figure there are mandatory parameters you _must_ pass to an open(). When e.g resolution was one of those mandatory parameters then any default for resolution is moot anyway. | 08:49 |
DocScrutinizer05 | you don't have a default for filename on an open() either | 08:50 |

Apic | Log on, hack in, go anywhere, steal everything! | 12:09 |
psycho_oreos | What a horrid movie that was. | 12:12 |
Apic | ;-) | 12:12 |
Apic | I liked it. | 12:12 |
*** eMHa_ has quit IRC | 12:19 | |
*** tzafrir has quit IRC | 12:20 | |
psycho_oreos | ._." there was simply too much blockbuster crap compared to what infosec was all about. | 12:20 |
sono | popular movies are generally quite horrid. if some random persons likes a movie, that actually increases the odds that it's quite meh. | 12:21 |
sono | random persons on average are quite meh. | 12:21 |
sono | or one could simply say, | 12:21 |
sono | law of averages | 12:21 |
sono | and be done | 12:21 |
psycho_oreos | It's more apparent if one has underlying knowledge of what the theme of the movie is trying to portray. | 12:21 |
sono | i haven't seen it, but i can imagine. | 12:22 |
sono | did they create a gui in visual basic? | 12:22 |
psycho_oreos | I read in reader's digest awhile ago of some guy whom collect's spy paraphernalia. When asked how would the James Bond do in real world, he quoted from a ex KGB spy stating the real James Bond would not last in the spy world for more than 4 minutes or something. | 12:23 |
psycho_oreos | I actually don't want to think about swordfish, I could imagine swordfish would be interesting is if I was stoned. | 12:23 |
sono | surely he meant "before being fired" | 12:24 |
*** Venusaur has quit IRC | 12:24 | |
psycho_oreos | No, probably before James Bond dies because he would be outsmarted by real spies probably. | 12:24 |
sono | well if you're stoned, gravity is a much better movie to begin with | 12:24 |
sono | real spies don't go around killing each other | 12:24 |
psycho_oreos | Exactly. | 12:25 |
psycho_oreos | Well I haven't watched gravity yet anyway. | 12:25 |
sono | not as a day to day practice anyway. | 12:25 |
sono | i don't doubt it has happened in the past. | 12:25 |
psycho_oreos | The ex-KGB guy quoted that when spies pulls out their gun, intelligence ends. | 12:25 |
jonwil | Gravity wasn't bad actually | 12:25 |
sono | but there are some good boooks about the history of the services if you're in for a long flight or something. | 12:26 |
sono | no need to rely on holywood. | 12:26 |
psycho_oreos | Actually it's a little appealing if movies were to be based on more factual stuff rather than sci-fi crap and overexaggeration. | 12:26 |
psycho_oreos | Kids these days playing with real pentesting tools used by professionals thinking they are the bomb but have no actual clue let alone the common sense when it comes to proper pentesting. | 12:27 |
sono | gravity is a lot of action, and of course it's highly unrealistic as far as the entire story goes. but it somehow manages to take you along with it, and manages to rarely be outrageously impossible. | 12:27 |
sono | so as far as blockbusters go, it is excellent | 12:27 |
sono | and it has all the magic | 12:28 |
sono | and a good arrangement, too | 12:28 |
sono | and acting! | 12:28 |
psycho_oreos | Like Harry Potter? | 12:28 |
sono | idk | 12:28 |
psycho_oreos | ._. | 12:28 |
sono | magic = mood establishment etc pp | 12:29 |
sono | i'm sure there are filmologists who can explain all the magic. | 12:29 |
sono | i am not one. | 12:29 |
psycho_oreos | Kind of like creative thinking, but in hollywood sense it would be probably more closely related into over-exaggeration of stated facts. | 12:29 |
psycho_oreos | Neither am I, I just get annoyed thinking the likes of swordfish. | 12:30 |
psycho_oreos | If someone were to tie swordfish with movies about IT security I'd lart them for that. | 12:30 |
* sono points at oreos "he knows how to lart" | 12:31 | |
sono | so oldschool | 12:31 |
* sono is young enough to only know the term from reading the jargon file when he was 16. | 12:31 | |
sono | and i'm 37! | 12:32 |
sono | well i am also contiental so maybe the slang is just different | 12:33 |
sono | but i don't think i have heard someone use the term in 5 years or so | 12:33 |

sono | Veggen: does this mean you lost 5 pidgeons? =D | 18:08 |
jonwil | Zammy: I doubt you can do that and have a working device | 18:08 |
jonwil | Not if you want to make phone calls, use data, send SMS etc | 18:08 |
sono | jonwil: nice constraint there. | 18:08 |
freemangordon | depends on the definition of "working" :) | 18:09 |
zammy | the I mean I am going to install in my next future the ArchLinuxARM-N900-2013.02-rootfs.tar.gz | 18:09 |
jonwil | I doubt ArchLinux has working battery charging either | 18:09 |
freemangordon | jonwil: it has | 18:10 |
freemangordon | pali's drivers | 18:10 |
jonwil | ok | 18:10 |
freemangordon | afaik :) | 18:10 |
zammy | but I must buy first a microsd to it | 18:10 |
zammy | for it | 18:10 |
zammy | ofc testing before using it definately | 18:11 |
zammy | is it faster right? | 18:12 |
zammy | and I mind to use it mainly for command lines usage... that's pretty cool | 18:12 |
jonwil | god reverse engineering hildon status bar gadgets is hard, especially when they use like half of GTK and have a class size of 0x1A0 and a private class size of 0x3C | 18:13 |
zammy | anyway I did not find any video around googling about this archlinux on n900 | 18:14 |
jonwil | oh wait the 0x1A0 is misleading since the class is entirely composed of a HDStatusMenuItem structure | 18:15 |
zammy | just some in which you can see the archlinux os for computers emulated like debian img... nothing about this ArchLinuxARM-N900 | 18:16 |
jonwil | still, 0x3C of private class data is going to be annoying | 18:16 |
freemangordon | jonwil: (0xA10 size) - most probably the first member variable is some GObjectClass descendant type | 18:20 |
freemangordon | *0x1A0 | 18:20 |
jonwil | yes it is | 18:20 |
jonwil | Its a HDStatusMenuItem | 18:21 |
freemangordon | :nod: | 18:21 |
freemangordon | which leaves you woth only a couple of members to find | 18:21 |
freemangordon | *with | 18:21 |
freemangordon | jonwil: is ther x86 binary? | 18:22 |
freemangordon | or only ARM | 18:22 |
jonwil | no x86 unfortunately | 18:22 |

jonwil | quite possible | 18:37 |
zammy | so... what about this ArchLinuxARM-N900? | 18:40 |
zammy | I did not understand in tecnical language how is it ... is it bad or good? | 18:40 |
jonwil | I am about convinced that it would be easier for someone with GTK skills to write a totally new hildon-status-bar-usb (figuring out all the non-UI things the stock one is doing should be fairly simple from what I can see) than it would be to try and reverse engineer all the GUI bits in the stock one | 18:40 |
jonwil | mostly because there is no x86 binary for the stock one | 18:41 |
jonwil | and that the UI is more complex than it would appear to be | 18:41 |

*** teotwaki has quit IRC | 22:12 | |

ShadowJK | Looks like ZTE's firefox phone is "abandoned" after ~3 months :) | 23:42 |
MohammadAG | heh | 23:42 |
MohammadAG | an Ubuntu ZTE phone might work | 23:43 |
MohammadAG | the Edge looked nice :/ | 23:43 |
MohammadAG | DrCode, why would you do that? | 23:43 |
ShadowJK | They called it "ZTE Open", and included something saying something like "If you know how to code web, you know how to code firefox, take back your freedom!" | 23:43 |
ShadowJK | Then they locked it down, locked the bootloader, etc | 23:44 |
MohammadAG | not unlockable? | 23:44 |
ShadowJK | There's a kernel exploit allegedly | 23:44 |
MohammadAG | still better than samsung I guess | 23:44 |

MohammadAG | back when the S2 was out they touted openness | 23:47 |
