| DocScrutinizer05 | at least the failover and recovery works fine now | 17:55 |
| *** lukedashjr is now known as luke-jr | 17:55 | |
| DocScrutinizer05 | hmmm UPS battery... Should run a test eventually | 17:55 |

| infobot | somebody said #maemo lazyflashing was http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware#The_Lazy_Approach | 17:56 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | one thing's for sure: the vodafone "mediathek" (cable TV on demand / IPTV) isn't worth a single cent of its cost | 17:58 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | actually the whole cable-TV / IPTV is mere crap. If it wasn't for the 400/25 internet... | 17:59 |
| sixwheeledbeast | Most ISP's are bundling stuff like that now. It's hard to get VDSL without a TV package now | 18:01 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | modems that need 8 reboots when disabling bridge-mode... Series final of Elementary ran a week ago, no way to watch it again in mediathek | 18:01 |
| *** luke-jr has quit IRC | 18:01 | |
| *** luke-jr has joined #maemo | 18:02 | |
| DocScrutinizer05 | EPG that doesn't knpw of program changes even if they are announced 48h in advance, a recorder that can't record stuff that's not listed in EPG (nice synergy in those two¡) | 18:02 |
| sixwheeledbeast | I suppose that's the issue with DOCSIS you have no control over what modem they provide you, unlike VDSL. Tho you benefit from faster up and down. | 18:03 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | and every now and then the HDR simply reboots or locks up and needs power cycle | 18:03 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | DOCSIS is what causes the 8 modem reboots | 18:04 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | for nuttin | 18:04 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | so not really faster up/down | 18:04 |
| sixwheeledbeast | The cable may be balanced incorrectly if it happens often. DOCSIS it fussy about line quality and having the correct filtering. | 18:11 |
| sixwheeledbeast | Would have to moan to the ISP for an engineer to fix than. | 18:11 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | line equ works fine. The modem bails out after trying to config "VoIP" | 18:14 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | most likely on trying to set up friggin "homespot" which I explicitly opted out from | 18:15 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | took them 3 months and me ~20h of hotline calls to get my account/DOCSIS set up so it _never_ enables the damn AP in modem | 18:18 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | I guess they don't have that often, and they also are not very inclined to sell this featureset | 18:19 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | after all their homespot stuff only works when >99% of users participate | 18:19 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | thus they place a homespot AP into your flat even if you don't want any WLAN at all | 18:20 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | there _are no_ modems without AP | 18:20 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | https://zuhauseplus.vodafone.de/internet-telefon/wlan-hotspots/ | 18:23 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | damn | 18:23 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | aaah https://hotspot.vodafone.de/hotspots.html | 18:25 |
| brolin_empey | DocScrutinizer05: Can you get FttP service at your location? | 18:32 |
| sixwheeledbeast | That seems to be an issue here with ISP's that are also cellular they offer guest WiFi via your internet that can't be switched off if you use there hardware | 18:33 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | brolin_empey: nope | 18:34 |
| sixwheeledbeast | I need use any ISP provided kit where possible. DOCSIS is the most awkward to ditch the modem | 18:35 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | sixwheeledbeast: yep, that's it. They clain you could switch it off via the web portal, but that's questionable | 18:35 |
| sixwheeledbeast | s/need/never/ | 18:35 |
| infobot | sixwheeledbeast meant: I never use any ISP provided kit where possible. DOCSIS is the most awkward to ditch the modem | 18:35 |
| brolin_empey | The Nokia media converter (correct term?) box my ISP (Telus in Canada) provided when I switched from ADSL at both my home and office seems to mostly work well. | 18:35 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | sixwheeledbeast: you can't even find the credentials to use their VoIP, "only via DOCSIS, even when you use your own Fritzbox Cablemodem-router" | 18:37 |
| brolin_empey | At both places I use my own gateway instead of using a gateway provided by the ISP. | 18:37 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | gateway? | 18:37 |
| * DocScrutinizer05 now needs to set up some VPN to finaly re-establish a way to "dial in" from internet | 18:38 | |
| *** luke-jr has quit IRC | 18:38 | |
| DocScrutinizer05 | no IP with this cable service | 18:38 |
| sixwheeledbeast | Ah I see we still have POTS when you have DOCSIS here | 18:39 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | or rather, cgNAT with no open ports inbound | 18:39 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | POTS is dead here | 18:39 |
| brolin_empey | DocScrutinizer05: Yes, WAN↔LAN gateway, commonly known as a “router” but I use formal terms, not common usage. | 18:39 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | even Telekom uses tripleplay | 18:39 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | not even ISDN anymore | 18:40 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | IOW with a power outage, no more phone >:-( | 18:41 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | nowhere. Nada | 18:41 |
| * DocScrutinizer05 wants to shoot the dude who allowed this concept | 18:42 | |
| sixwheeledbeast | ISDN and POTS are dying here for xDSL connections EOL in 2025. It's not certain how it will be implemented tho. | 18:42 |
| sixwheeledbeast | however POTS may stay on DOCSIS connections | 18:42 |
| brolin_empey | At least in my part of Canada (Metro Vancouver, British Columbia), the cellular network is still up while the electric mains is down. | 18:43 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | sure, for a while | 18:43 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | maybe the dwindling number of cellular phones with charged battery mitigates the service breakdown from clogging | 18:44 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | but then, the BTS batteries also only last a maybe 12 or max 24h | 18:45 |
| brolin_empey | I can power my handheld computer from my car while the electric mains is down. | 18:45 |
| sixwheeledbeast | The idea behind killing POTS is so the exchanges can be made smaller and have no batteries that need maintaining | 18:47 |
| brolin_empey | I can also keep spare charged batteries because I only use handheld computers with an easily removable battery. | 18:48 |
| buZz | :) | 18:48 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | yeah, why batteries in exchanges when no customer can operate their "gateway" any more ;-D | 18:48 |
| buZz | i just bought a new lipo from aliexpress for a 2007 Zipit Z2 | 18:48 |
| buZz | \o/ | 18:48 |
| buZz | the newoldstock batteries are barely 100mAh left of the original 1200mAh | 18:49 |
| brolin_empey | I remember when Zipit was a Windows application similar to WinZip. | 18:50 |
| buZz | :) | 18:50 |
| buZz | zipit wireless is a US company , making 'medical messengers' | 18:50 |
| buZz | but back in early 2k they dabbled in making kids toys | 18:51 |
| brolin_empey | Yes, I remember reading about a Zipit computer running GNU+Linux years ago; I guess it was the Z2 that you mentioned. | 18:52 |
| *** Pali has joined #maemo | 18:53 | |
| *** dafox has joined #maemo | 18:53 | |
| buZz | the Z2 nowadays can run mainline linux | 18:55 |
| buZz | but just 32MB ram so we're using openwrt as distro ;) | 18:55 |
| brolin_empey | Is that the same amount of main memory as the PlayStation 2 has? | 18:56 |
| buZz | but PS2 has another 4MB of video ram next to it | 18:58 |
| *** florian_kc has quit IRC | 18:58 | |
| *** luke-jr has joined #maemo | 18:59 | |
| brolin_empey | Yes, I checked Wikipedia and see that my memory was accurate that the PlayStation 2 has 32 MiB of main memory. | 18:59 |
| brolin_empey | I recall that a late IBM PS/2 model supports up to at least 64 MiB of main memory, more than the Sony PS2. | 19:01 |
| buZz | :) | 19:01 |
| buZz | could very well be yeah :D | 19:02 |
| sixwheeledbeast | If you have a UPS in theory you would still be fine. Most people would not. | 19:02 |
| buZz | i bet the PS2 devkits also had more ram | 19:02 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | sixwheeledbeast: there's one gremlin in UPS here: the cable signal amp down in cellar which will cut me off from cable | 19:05 |
| * DocScrutinizer05 got reminded to run a mains supply cable from first floor down to that damn amp | 19:06 | |
| sixwheeledbeast | only a small gremlin tho | 19:07 |
| DocScrutinizer05 | yeah, very small and very close, all the more very annoying too | 19:07 |
