Apr 29 22:23:05 <porto> hia
Apr 29 22:23:09 <porto> anyone can help?
Apr 29 22:23:59 <porto> i need to upgrade php in my syno-e500 
Apr 29 22:24:21 <porto> at moment in nslu2 repositorie have php 5.2.7
Apr 29 22:24:29 <porto> how can i upgrade the php versioN?
Apr 29 23:59:06 <DrJ> whatever is in the nslu2 repos is probably the latest you can go
Apr 29 23:59:34 <DrJ> development for the nslu2 is pretty much dead, and has been for years, so don't expect any recent stuff
Apr 30 00:00:58 <DrJ> I pretty much just retired my nslu2 in favor of using raspberry pi
Apr 30 00:01:16 <DrJ> kind of sad though, the nslu2 was awesome in its day
Apr 30 00:04:54 <porto> :(
Apr 30 00:05:00 <porto> yap :/
Apr 30 00:05:07 <porto> i have it in my synology
Apr 30 00:05:36 <porto> i think i gona try with debian powerpc spe version
Apr 30 00:05:53 <DrJ> have you considered a raspberry pi?
Apr 30 00:06:17 <porto> but i have a synology nas server :S
Apr 30 00:06:38 <porto> i use arduino to other projects
Apr 30 00:06:56 <porto> but only for hardware addon
Apr 30 00:07:21 <porto> but raspberry it's great
Apr 30 00:10:17 <DrJ> I like the raspberry pi ... nice little device ... little smaller than the nslu2 ... good amount of resources to do a lot
Apr 30 00:10:50 <DrJ> oh, and cheap
Apr 30 00:11:06 * DrJ wont be getting rid of his nslu2 though
Apr 30 00:11:15 <DrJ> if nothing else I will keep it for old time sakes
Apr 30 00:11:24 <porto> yeap
Apr 30 00:14:01 <porto> with a few $$ can build a nas :D
Apr 30 00:19:32 <DrJ> did you ever own a nslu2?
Apr 30 00:20:11 <porto> nop
Apr 30 00:21:10 <porto> i gona chroot the synology
Apr 30 00:21:25 <DrJ> For a while I made a good amount of money off the nslu2's ... I would buy them used on ebay for generally around $60 and then an external harddrive for like $50.  Flash unslung or whatnot on them and set them up as a nas with apache and stuff
Apr 30 00:21:31 <DrJ> then resell for like $175
Apr 30 00:22:24 <porto> yap
Apr 30 00:22:33 <DrJ> I probably sold around 3 of those combos a week
Apr 30 00:22:43 <DrJ> it was a lot of money for me since I was still in hs then and had no job
Apr 30 00:23:39 <porto> and you have any projecto R Pi nas?
Apr 30 00:24:15 <DrJ> projecto?
Apr 30 00:24:23 <porto> project 
Apr 30 00:24:25 <porto> sorry :D
Apr 30 00:24:38 <porto> projecto is project in portuguese ;)
Apr 30 00:24:43 <DrJ> ah
Apr 30 00:24:53 <DrJ> I figured that was what you meant but wasn't positive
Apr 30 00:25:06 <porto> hum
Apr 30 00:25:21 <DrJ> I have one raspberry pi ... I use it to stream audio to my police scanner site ... I also have a script running on it to inject alpha tags into the stream to show people what agency is talking
Apr 30 00:25:41 <porto> wow :)
Apr 30 00:25:44 <porto> great;)
Apr 30 00:25:58 <DrJ> I plan on getting 2 or 3 more ... one for a nas most likely and one for play
Apr 30 00:26:09 <DrJ> yea, it works great for that audio streaming
Apr 30 00:26:23 <DrJ> http://scanwc.com/pi
Apr 30 00:27:11 <porto> lovly
Apr 30 00:27:41 <porto> it's your site?
Apr 30 00:27:44 <DrJ> yes
Apr 30 00:29:21 <porto> but scanwc isnt' hosted at raspberry
Apr 30 00:29:27 <porto> itś too fast :)
Apr 30 00:29:28 <DrJ> no
Apr 30 00:29:45 <DrJ> the raspberry pi just streams the audio to my VPS
Apr 30 00:29:51 <DrJ> which is hosted at linode
Apr 30 00:30:12 <DrJ> the clients connect to the VPS through icecast which basically relays the audio to them
Apr 30 00:30:13 <porto> i like the linode service too
Apr 30 00:30:21 <DrJ> yea, linode is great
Apr 30 00:30:29 <porto> and cheap
Apr 30 00:31:05 <porto> joomla:S
Apr 30 00:31:23 <DrJ> the raspberry's job includes taking the audio from the police scanner, encoding it to mp3, injecting alpha tags through the USB serial device from the scanner, and sending it off to linode server
Apr 30 00:31:50 <DrJ> which use to be done by that big desktop computer in the before/after picture
Apr 30 00:32:40 <porto> yap
Apr 30 00:33:10 <porto> and ups
Apr 30 00:33:12 <DrJ> had to use that external sound card though since the raspberry pi has no audio in jack
Apr 30 00:33:17 <DrJ> yea, that's my power house
Apr 30 00:33:30 <DrJ> that UPS keeps everything in the picture running for like 3 hours if the power goes out
Apr 30 00:33:31 <porto> works without electricity?
Apr 30 00:33:48 <porto> ah
Apr 30 00:34:27 <porto> great project;)
Apr 30 00:34:36 <DrJ> yea, I've been running that for 3 years now
Apr 30 00:34:47 <DrJ> April 26th was the site's 3rd birthday
Apr 30 00:35:50 <DrJ> my biggest hit on the site is the fire paging system which sends out text alerts to cell phones when fire departments are paged out
Apr 30 00:36:14 <DrJ> I'm approching 2,200 registered users now
Apr 30 00:36:37 <porto> :P
