**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Apr 10 02:59:57 2020 Apr 10 08:16:44 Hey there! Can anyone recommend a call blocker for maemo5? Apr 10 08:17:03 i think i way using pycallblock Apr 10 08:17:08 *was Apr 10 08:17:31 was a bit quirky because it required some nudging after a reboot, but otherwise worked Apr 10 08:24:52 hmm Apr 10 08:33:32 I think I used callerx Apr 10 08:34:11 Worked well, but needed whitelist reloading after reboot. Apr 10 08:34:48 har har Apr 10 08:35:07 Got rid of phone spam with it by blocking all the unknown callers :) Apr 10 08:35:42 i just blocked unknown numbers on operator's level Apr 10 08:35:49 saves some battery ;) Apr 10 08:36:09 s/unknown/hidden/ Apr 10 08:36:17 Oh, didn't know that is possible Apr 10 08:36:26 it is, at least in .pl Apr 10 08:36:50 you can request to disallow calls from hidden numbers Apr 10 08:36:58 Oh yeah, might be dependent of country Apr 10 08:37:04 and most operators support it here Apr 10 08:37:25 Then again it might be possible here tooo Apr 10 08:38:04 Since i recall that at some point phone marketers switched from using blocked numbers to visible numbers Apr 10 08:38:19 yup Apr 10 08:38:44 pity that virtual operators allow it for such a cheap price (to get new numbers) Apr 10 08:39:21 would be swell to be able to enter regex in any of blocker apps Apr 10 08:39:32 trivial to implement, yet, rarely done Apr 10 08:40:48 and i didnt have any spam call for a long time. might be also that im requesting removal of my numbers from their databases Apr 10 08:43:23 Yes, i do that too, but there are just so many of them... Apr 10 08:44:06 i suspect being unpleasant also helps them to tick the 'nocall' checkbox Apr 10 08:45:14 It might work, but in the end they are just doing their job Apr 10 08:45:35 Kind of don't shoot the messenger situation Apr 10 08:45:36 ya, and who knows what procedures they must follow Apr 10 08:46:02 also, working as a marketer is worse than being a slave Apr 10 08:46:22 one girl at my current workplace used to work as one Apr 10 08:46:38 and they had some strict rules to follow Apr 10 08:46:47 ie. they couldnt disconnect themselves Apr 10 08:46:57 Yup, I'd rather live at street Apr 10 08:46:59 untill all questions are asked Apr 10 08:47:26 even when the other person repeated 'no, thanks' Apr 10 08:48:03 they also had daily quota, time per call, couldnt go to WC too often etc etc Apr 10 08:50:03 I'm amazed that they have employees Apr 10 08:50:39 young/old folks' lack of skills + need of money == agreement to slave labor Apr 10 08:52:49 I were young and needed the money, eh eh Apr 10 09:52:06 bencoh: I am still using callerx if that helps, I found them both to be a bit flaky but the best of both Apr 10 09:55:58 Those types of call centres are often like battery cage farms Apr 10 10:58:13 sixwheeledbeast: I went for callerx as well for now ... I'd need to run strace on it for a long period of time to see how it idles Apr 10 10:58:20 (but it seemed "okay" thus far) Apr 10 10:58:52 bencoh: IIRC pycallblocker eats into hildon home over time. Apr 10 10:59:25 Although maybe it was something else, there where a lot of python things that leaked into hildon. Apr 10 10:59:46 huhu Apr 10 11:00:09 I didn't even dare trying to let a python daemon run fulltime on my phone Apr 10 11:00:20 :) Apr 10 11:00:47 (I wasn't exactly happy with the fact that callerx is Qt either, especially since I don't understand the need for Qt there, but ... so be it) Apr 10 11:01:01 it doesn't even have any UI ... Apr 10 11:01:19 I feel like I should write some simple daemon in C Apr 10 11:01:43 from what I understand, all you need is to handle a few dbus callbacks Apr 10 11:01:47 the GUI it does have a gui AFAIK Apr 10 11:02:41 callerxui you mean? Apr 10 11:02:44 I didn't install it Apr 10 11:03:00 i see it's two packages Apr 10 11:03:33 I suppose, it's how Qt works Apr 10 11:03:51 yeah Apr 10 11:03:57 err, yeah about two packages Apr 10 11:04:34 best would be implementing white/blacklists natively though Apr 10 11:04:52 I have a lot of respect for Qt and Maemo integration TBH, it helped me make packages I wouldn't have been able to Apr 10 11:09:25 sixwheeledbeast: oh, I have nothing against Qt on maemo, apart from the fact that n900 only has 256MB of memory ;-) Apr 10 11:09:48 so I'd rather not have background applications written in Qt Apr 10 11:10:07 Yer obviously the lighter the better Apr 10 11:10:22 ideally everything UI wise would be GTK Apr 10 11:10:38 and implemented in core elements Apr 10 11:10:48 without the need of additional apps/tools Apr 10 11:12:09 A simple daemon would be nice tho, I'd be happy with some "/home/user/.callblacklist" file that was manually edited. Apr 10 11:12:34 with regexps! Apr 10 11:12:35 ;) Apr 10 21:06:48 Hey there Apr 10 21:07:45 I started playing with my old N900 phone once again. Pretty impressive, still usable for basic need Apr 10 21:08:08 Hey there Apr 10 21:08:26 It can still be usable. Apr 10 21:09:12 However lately I only used it to record GPS track logs of my flights Apr 10 21:09:27 unfortunately it is affected by the week number rollover problem. Apr 10 21:09:29 I would like to try maemo-leste. For this I want to do it with u-boot. But, for some reason I cannot install u-boot-flasher. Got some dependencies problem Apr 10 21:10:28 unmeet dependencies u-boot-flasher: Depends: kernel-modules (= 2.6.28-20103103+0m5) Apr 10 21:12:48 I have no idea, but do you have all the repositories? Apr 10 21:12:56 (in a working state) Apr 10 21:13:06 Not really sure what I should install for that u-boot thing. Apr 10 21:13:32 akossh: I followed that https://dt.iki.fi/nokia-n900-resurrect Apr 10 21:14:15 So, everything should be good Apr 10 21:14:54 Switched all the repo to working one. On CSSU3 Apr 10 21:18:52 I have u-boot-flasher installed Apr 10 21:19:40 and also that kernel-modules pachkage Apr 10 21:19:55 however I have installed it back in 2018 Apr 10 21:21:25 http://paste.debian.net/1139618/ Apr 10 21:21:45 That’s what I get inf I try to install kerner-modules Apr 10 21:22:33 http://paste.debian.net/1139619/ Apr 10 21:22:46 With my source.list Apr 10 21:30:18 my repositories are about the same without the CSSU **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Apr 11 02:59:57 2020
