gryKotCzarny, all extracted now. Is the VirtualBox hard drive space in addition to the extracted file, or it lives "inside" of it? Need to know as I don't want to run out of space again, if it needs extra. :)12:33
KotCzarnyi havent tried, so dont really know, i prefer just my tiny chroots on arm7 hosts12:34
gryL29Ah, (you can get Sigyn kicked from here if you fancy talking with that person. But that would likely be a waste of effort.)12:35
gryKotCzarny, ok. :) Will try it out and face the impact.12:35
KotCzarnyat least vm 'hard driver' are easy to add12:35

*** xes has quit IRC14:49
gryDocScrutinizer05, that was an IF, not a request :) also good morning14:50
DocScrutinizer05hmm, I prolly failed to parse that then. Please note I got an /ignore list in effect too14:51
DocScrutinizer05so context sometimes missing14:51
DocScrutinizer05but I see L29Ah14:51
DocScrutinizer05and morning to you as well14:52
gryaha14:52
grythanks :)14:52
DocScrutinizer05also I doubt sigyn would kick gerself when somebody talks fabcy to her ;-D14:53
DocScrutinizer05ohmy my typing sucks14:53
DocScrutinizer05anyway when anybody actually wants to try talk to 'chatter' (or whatever nick that moron spammer picks next), I suggest just lingering in sifficient channels with >100 users and preferrably no sigyn in channel, and you will meet them sooner or later14:56
DocScrutinizer05good luck with that! ;-D14:56
DocScrutinizer05you know, >>not you're talking, A@@ah is talking<<14:57
DocScrutinizer05and it's pretty hard to argue with scripts14:58
DocScrutinizer05to prepare for such endeavor: http://paste.opensuse.org/6975250015:03
buZzis 'gerself' one of those new genderneutral things?15:09
DocScrutinizer05hehe, yeah, that's why I used it err didn't fix the typo15:16

parazydany yappari users?16:19
parazyddoes it work as intended?16:19
bencohyappari does not work, as intended16:22
Wizzupnot anymore16:23
bencohit stopped working half a year ago because whatsapp required to use their new (secured) protocol, and they started banning 3rd-party apps so main developer eventually gave up16:24
bencohiirc he pushed a voluntarily non-working version so that people wouldn't get banned trying16:24
bencohI mean, a version that won't even try to connect16:24
buZzbest whatsapp client is just spitting in the faces of ppl asking to add you on whatsapp ;)16:26
buZzimho ^_^16:26
Wizzup^16:27
buZzor laughing insanely loud while walking away16:27
DocScrutinizer05yeah, 2 billion farcebrick users can't be wrong, get on whatsap too and share your data with Suckerberg and the NSA16:29
DocScrutinizer05FB is waaay worse than google meanwhile16:30
bencohdunno who16:30
bencohwhich* is worse, but ...16:30
parazydshame16:31
DocScrutinizer05when whatsap got bought out by FB, they *romised* to never transfer or use the WA data in FB. That was like 6 months ago, now the German office for privacy in IT sues FB for doing exactly that16:32
DocScrutinizer05*promised* even16:32
buZzthey promised to never do it, and then took them 2-3 months before they actually -did- do it, while denying doing it16:34
bencohs/6 months/2 years/ ?16:34
DocScrutinizer05my ass what whatsap had as their core policies when they started. Like "we respect your privacy" and whatnot else bullshit, it almost sounded honest16:34
buZzpopo respects you aswell when they arrest, fine and beat you up16:35
DocScrutinizer05Suckerberg, no typo in that16:37
kerioDocScrutinizer05: to be fair, the actual data is very secure16:48
keriocuz they got moxie to handle that16:48
kerioand i trust facebook to protect my data much more than my government16:49
Wizzuplol16:49
keriobecause they make money off of it16:50
Wizzupthey make money selling your data16:50
Wizzuphow is that protecting your data16:50
kerioWizzup: a friend of mine works in an ad company, he says that working with facebook is a pain16:50
keriono no16:50
keriothey keep your data incredibly tight16:50
Wizzuphaha16:50
keriothey sell aggregates, they sell even targeted ad space16:50
keriobut they don't give it out16:50
keriothey want to keep it16:50
kerioas much as possible16:50
KotCzarnyand people buying it16:51
kerioit's a subtle difference16:51
kerioyeah16:51
KotCzarnyand the cycle startes16:51
KotCzarnybecause other start to do the same16:51
KotCzarnythen we have whole new economy classes in school16:51
KotCzarny(sponsored by .. etc)16:52
DocScrutinizer05yeah they keep it since it's 'theirs' - until the balck man of NSA drops by and leaves a letter they are not allowed to even mention they got one16:52
kerioi wonder if this would backfeed power https://www.amazon.it/dp/B016KNKRYY/ in a way that the n900 would appreciate16:52
keriothere's a switch for "charge/otg"16:53
kerioDocScrutinizer05: doesn't facebook have a warrant canary?16:53
KotCzarnyomg, thats the half price of the n900!16:53
KotCzarny;)16:53
DocScrutinizer05pfff16:53
kerioDocScrutinizer05: idk man, i reckon that if your threat model includes the NSA you already fucking lost16:54
DocScrutinizer05I heard some companies who had did put it down, and they didn't want to talk about the reasons much16:54
kerioDocScrutinizer05: yes, that's what a warrant canary does16:54
DocScrutinizer05they promised however that it was for mere business reasons16:54
keriorip canary :(16:55
keriosuuuuuuuure16:55
DocScrutinizer05so either they put it down and are not allowed to talk about it, or the *keep it* and are not allowed to talk about why they feel this would be the wiser decision16:55
kerioDocScrutinizer05: the very fact that they put it down means what you think it means16:56
DocScrutinizer05aiui the idea is flawed16:57
DocScrutinizer05the whole canary is at best annoying16:57
DocScrutinizer05you can't tell anything from it either way16:58
keriodo i trust this 6€ microusb "magsafe" adapter16:58
DocScrutinizer05I don't even understand what that adapter does16:59
kerioit's the only one with an adapter instead of a cable16:59
kerioDocScrutinizer05: no the one i linked is just a usb hub16:59
DocScrutinizer05yeah, it looked like16:59
kerio3 usb A ports, one microusb B plug and one microusb B port16:59
keriowith a "power" symbol on the port16:59
kerioand it's got a tiny switch between "power" and "otg"17:00
DocScrutinizer05hah17:00
kerioso i wonder if it would allow power backfeed on the n900 in boost mode17:00
DocScrutinizer05should17:00
DocScrutinizer05unless they do a D+/- short too17:00
kerioDocScrutinizer05: that's even if there's backfeed protection in data mode17:01
DocScrutinizer05or wait. maybe "power" only means powered hub17:01
keriono wait it says "charge"/"otg"17:01
keriooh man i wish you knew italian17:02
keriothis product description is hilarious17:02
DocScrutinizer05then it might be a powered hub in OTG mode and feed uplink in charge mode17:02
DocScrutinizer05you'll have to test it to know for sure17:03
DocScrutinizer05and when you're lucky, you could modify it so it exactly meets your requirements17:04
DocScrutinizer05my guess would be: in CHARGE mode the D lines of micro USB receptacle are connected to micro USB uplink plug. In OTH the receptacle powers the hub and the uplink data lines also feed the hub17:06
DocScrutinizer05s/OTH/OTG/17:07
infobotDocScrutinizer05 meant: my guess would be: in CHARGE mode the D lines of micro USB receptacle are connected to micro USB uplink plug. In OTG the receptacle powers the hub and the uplink data lines also feed the hub17:07
DocScrutinizer05*maybe* in CHARGE the hub is still powered from the then-connected VBUS and also hooked up to the uplink D-lines17:08
DocScrutinizer05or you can modify it so it's like that17:08
keriothe fact that there's a switch is actually impressive17:08
DocScrutinizer05yep17:09
kerioalthough i guess it's just for data17:09
kerioso you can use the hub on your phone while charging it from a computer17:09
keriooh god can you imagine the mess that will happen when everything is usb c17:09
DocScrutinizer05but _worst_case_ CHARGE just means the hub turns into a charger with 4 outlets17:09
DocScrutinizer05;-P17:09

ceeneyou have to install whatsapp application18:16
ceeneweb whatsapp requires whatsapp application18:16
ceenein any case, that's more probably a question for #android or whatever18:17
ceenegotta go, sorry18:17
fishbulbthis tablet has no sim18:17

fishbulbhow do I get the chats and stuff that were in whatsapp18:17

bencohalthough it did work 1.5year ago18:44
bencoh(you had to provide a valid phone number, receive a confirmation text message there, and enter it in whatsapp)18:44
fishbulbdo you mean with a tablet or with yappari?18:47
fishbulbit asks to scan a qr code18:51
