Edity

DeNiSkA

7:26 AM

its only $12 per month

NetworkKingPin

@JourneymanGeek did you say you have a odroid?

Journeyman Geek

nope

I was looking at em

Edity

or 0 for demo

DeNiSkA

i got it for free

NetworkKingPin

I may have to snatch one up.

Edity

7:27 AM

me too

windows developer

Bob

@Burgi That was in 2011, $12/month is still a lot unless you actually use it, and it's a massive program (big download, wreaks havoc over the system...)

Journeyman Geek

I have an old raspi I need to get running again

agreed

agreed x2

edity == qwertyuiop?

7:29 AM

nope

Burgi

right

Edity

chat.stackexchange.com/search?user=204887&q=lol << you will never forget how many lols i said

qwerty poiu

Journeyman Geek

@qwertyuiop is still @qwertyuiop for now

Burgi

dear god

Edity

see how many lols i posted?

jokerdino

7:30 AM

@Burgi really?

Burgi

i went to bed at 7pm last night i missed all this craziness

jokerdino

wise move

Edity

snappy move

that's the one @jokerdino liked ^

Journeyman Geek

erm

no?

Burgi

you've put the stacks in the wrong recycling bin

Edity

7:33 AM

,

jokerdino

I stared at it, yes.

I didn't like it, nope.

Edity

123 rep

lol

jokerdino

why dont you visit The bridge?

Edity

me?

welp thats 180 ***'s for me

NetworkKingPin

I think I may grab one of those Odroids with the Cloud shell and play around with it. May have to hold off. PC build comes first.

Edity

7:40 AM

hehe

that will be my new *** hehe

Journeyman Geek

@NetworkKingPin I went with one of these over a rpi

asrock.com/nettop/Intel/Beebox%20Series

pricier (especially with my config) but my old rpi would have a corrupted boot drive a little too often, and a lot of software I use wasn't ported

Edity

stack overflow is moving

Journeyman Geek

(actually, my second nuc class machine. I have a gigabyte N2807, but it seems to be a bit of a lemon model. I've swapped 2 out so far)

Edity

Was I kicked?

jokerdino

just gently moved

Journeyman Geek

7:45 AM

Yes?

Edity

because i was doing somethiing

ok

Journeyman Geek

Cause you were being disruptive to what looked like an ongoing conversation?

NetworkKingPin

@JourneymanGeek ive thought about getting one of those. Was going to use it for a Plex Server but found a better option with a lot more streams.

Edity

oh

Journeyman Geek

@NetworkKingPin I mainly use it to run a torrent client, possibly a few VMs in future, and some file storage

Edity

7:47 AM

i'm in a middle of putting off a robot.txt

NetworkKingPin

Does it run VMs well?

Journeyman Geek

@NetworkKingPin reasonably

I have a windows 10 VM I run occationally which seems to peg out a core (but works fine otherwise) and linux VMs as needed

NetworkKingPin

May be a good solution for a buddy of mine then. I was going to lend him so space on my home server but this may work out better for him. Thanks for the suggestion.

Journeyman Geek

its worth remembering its a atom class machine and not that powerful, but its good enough for long term, low requirement VMs

NetworkKingPin

He just wants to run some linux distros nothing too powerful for some projects hes working on.

Journeyman Geek

7:50 AM

Yeah, then its pretty good

I'd suggest upping the ram to 8gb with that config

I did that, and run a msata drive for the OS, and a 2.5 inch drive for storage

NetworkKingPin

Do you have ESXI installed on it?

Journeyman Geek

naw

KVM

NetworkKingPin

Gotcha.

Journeyman Geek

esxi has just been too much of a pain, and since I'm running fedora anyway, running virt-manager + kvm is pretty much ok

I set up bridged networking like this too avi.alkalay.net/2014/01/…

NetworkKingPin

Fedora is good. Ive thought about moving my workstation off of windows. It has ESXI and plex running right now.

Journeyman Geek

7:53 AM

oh

my big computers are windows

and the beebox varient I have comes with windows 10 home on a emmc

NetworkKingPin

How much you have running in your home setup?

Journeyman Geek

how much what? ;p

I have 3 systems on my desk right now, one more next to my bed, and a spare brix I might bring up if needed

NetworkKingPin

hardware im curious.

oh and any pets if you have any. lol

Very nice.

Journeyman Geek

lol

pets is obvious?

NetworkKingPin

haha touche.

Journeyman Geek

Q: How do I prevent or reduce shake when observing with binoculars?

I have some 16 x 50 binoculars that my parents bought me years ago. Recently I have tried to do some basic lunar and planetary observations with them but I am seriously struggling with shaking. This was most noticeable tonight while attempting to observe the ISS. While I accept that keeping the ...

shameless plug :)

Journeyman Geek

laptops, a thinkpad x220 with 8gb of ram and a samsung 840, HP steam 11 first gen in blue

beebox's a N3150 with a 32gb msata drive and a 300gb storage drive internally

NetworkKingPin

@JourneymanGeek very nice. I like your rig. working on building a new one right now. have a Amd black edition quad core. Running at 3.8Ghz. from 5 years back. Thinking of going intel this time around.

Journeyman Geek

(and a bunch of old laptops I guess, thinkpad r61 upgraded with an SSD, thinkpad R60)

@NetworkKingPin unless AMD hits it out of the park with zen, intel's a good idea

NetworkKingPin

If it does i will just make the switch later on. Since it will be a new architecture

Journeyman Geek

7:59 AM

yeah

NetworkKingPin

See the new 10 core i7?

Journeyman Geek

lol

its silly

NetworkKingPin

price is ridiculous too.

Journeyman Geek

anyway, for most of us, the smart money's on the higher end of the mainstream stuff

core i5 or better

Burgi

> Where would I ask a question about interacting with 'mailman'

so many jokes...

Journeyman Geek

8:01 AM

"You are asking this. On a site with a mod who may be a dog?"

Burgi

lol, that opens up a whole load of jokes i hadn't thought of!

i was going down the smutty route...

Journeyman Geek

@Burgi amazon.com/BARSKA-AF10546-Binocular-Tripod-Adaptor/dp/…;*Version*=1&*entries*=0

Burgi

awww! i even went on meta to check it wouldn't get closed for being opinon based and you had the answer all along

Journeyman Geek

@Burgi actually I figured they would exist since sniper spotters use things like that

Bob

@JourneymanGeek what was your monitor?

Journeyman Geek

8:10 AM

The nice one?

Bob

There's a U2715H going for $560

Journeyman Geek

Dell P2715Q

Bob

Yes, it's that time of the year

@JourneymanGeek I have no idea how that compares :P

Journeyman Geek

thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-27-inch-monitor

@Bob wirecutter thinks its the best monitor on the market

somewhat lower resolution, rest of the things that matter should be the same

Bob

Ah

Yea, now might not be a good time to go QHD :P

William Mariager

8:12 AM

I have a 2560x1600 monitor, and I definitely love the workspace it gives.

Paid ~$1200 for it though ...

More than I paid for the actual computer.

Journeyman Geek

lol

@WilliamMariager I think ~500usd gets you a good 4k now

William Mariager

Anyone know what is up with the 5k displays? They're cheaper than DCI 4ks around here.

Journeyman Geek

@WilliamMariager DCI's uncommon, 5K probably isn't

most 4Ks arn't IIRC

also if its DCI wouldn't they be colour caliberated?

William Mariager

@JourneymanGeek Heh, yeah, I was an early adopter. At the time there were nothing 4k around, and only three 2560x1600 monitors available.

I've had it for around 5-6 years now.

@JourneymanGeek I wouldn't know. Not sure what the difference is. I mostly use DCI to denote actual 4k displays.

Journeyman Geek

ahh

most 4k displays 'arn't'

and DCI 4k is uncommon

Apple does 5K (so do other companies), so its more common

William Mariager

8:17 AM

Makes sense.

Edity

so much chatter O_O

continue

William Mariager

I'm considering upgrading my work station with better monitors, but I'm not sure how much I'd gain. The 5ks are 27". Means I'll get a higher DPI, but more a whole lot more workspace.

Journeyman Geek

I run a 'cheap' 2160/TN screen as a secondary, and a slightly nicer 2160p IPS screen as a primary

heh

I run my 4Ks at 150% UI scaling on windows

William Mariager

My current is 2560p@30".

Journeyman Geek

so, not that much more workspace but crisper

Bob

8:18 AM

Huh. Samsung UE850 is 4k... and cheaper

Journeyman Geek

ahh, 60 hz on both

and my 'shit' monitor basically handles HDMI 2.0 and dp so...

William Mariager

How many inches are yours?

2

Bob

Shit gamut compared to the Dell though :P

Journeyman Geek

dell's 27, crossover's 28

Bob

@WilliamMariager Hey, you can't just ask that in public!

William Mariager

8:20 AM

Hah

Out of context stars ;)

30" seems really good to me. Not sure if bigger might make it awkward to work with. It's really a balance you have to find.

Journeyman Geek

I wanted good pixel density + I have limited desk space

Bob

Ahh Samsung one is TN

Also 28"... might be the same panel as your Crossover!

Journeyman Geek

@Bob probably is

this is my old setup

Burgi

thats a lot of soft toys

Journeyman Geek

Yeah

mostly from when I was younger ;p

Burgi

8:25 AM

uh huh

Journeyman Geek

i boxed them when I switched rooms

Burgi

poor things :(

Journeyman Geek

lol

some are on a shelf, but I don't have that shelving

Burgi

i need to win the lottery then i can afford to move out

Journeyman Geek

I mainly had that cause it was a storeage room, and I didn't want to feel like I was living with nothing but dust and shelves ;p

Burgi

8:29 AM

one of my screens is on my sisters old bedside table, the other is balanced on the cheap plastic drawers i got at university

Journeyman Geek

my desk top was from my dad's old office

legs broke so I got some trestles from ikea

Burgi

we should have a best desk competition for the "revived" blog

Rahul Basu

@JourneymanGeek that setup is better than my current one :/

Journeyman Geek

@RahulBasu heh. I spent a total of 20 quid on the desk ;p

the rest of it is the best gear I could afford/justify ;p

user568109

Can anyone answer a few ssh questions ?

How do you execute a script that has cd /to/dir in it

Journeyman Geek

8:37 AM

so, that setup is pretty darned good

The desk is smaller than I'd like

user568109

anyone ?

Burgi

@user568109 try asking it on the main site

NetworkKingPin

let me find a picture of my desk. although now its taken over by my Reptiles.

And yes I killed an antenna on my router. its tapped up..

Burgi

8:56 AM

missing reptiles....

jokerdino

lizards hiding somewhere

NetworkKingPin

Let me find a picture or better yet a video one moment .

Have to upload the video. And my company email had to scan it for viruses so it will be a bit. probably after lunch or i will just do it from my phone.

yeah email complained it was too big. So on to lunch I go. I will thow it on youtube.

HackToHell

9:25 AM

@NetworkKingPin a raspi in oil ?

:O

Journeyman Geek

ooh

is that a dell precision?

Michael Frank

@JourneymanGeek Looks like it: dell.com/us/dfb/p/precision-t3400/pd

Journeyman Geek

@MichaelFrank I worked with the 7000 series at my last jobs. Tanky things

and heh

I think that's newer but 2 lines down from my old system at my last job

NetworkKingPin

@HackToHell yes lol

@JourneymanGeek yes is its dual xeon.

Journeyman Geek

hm

with the funny caddy?

NetworkKingPin

9:40 AM

There is a screen on the top its not on. May look like it is blending in.

Journeyman Geek

naw, I mean in the dell

NetworkKingPin

Oh yes.

Journeyman Geek

the 7000 series ones we worked with with dual processors had the second processor on a caddy

NetworkKingPin

Yes it has that funny caddy.

Journeyman Geek

if you didn't close it just so, it would give wierd issues like losing a processor ;p

NetworkKingPin

9:43 AM

I know what you mean!

Michael Frank

Is that a fan cable tied to your cable modem?

NetworkKingPin

Work has me a little slammed at the moment so Brb with the repile video.

@MichaelFrank haha indeed it is.

Journeyman Geek

loooool

NetworkKingPin

He have his own room? @JourneymanGeek

Journeyman Geek

@NetworkKingPin naw, that's the entrance to the apartment;

NetworkKingPin

9:53 AM

@JourneymanGeek pretty neat.

DavidPostill

@JourneymanGeek Is he stuck? Or is there a bar removed so he can get in and out by himeself?

Journeyman Geek

used to be a grill, we used to have acrylic over it cause birds kept sneaking in and eating his kibble, and he was small enough to slip through the grill when he was a pup

@DavidPostill he can fit his head through ;p

and no, there's no doggy door

if we did, the JRT from the 19th floor would likely sneak in all the time ;p

Burgi

JRT?

DavidPostill

@Burgi That's one I didn't have to look up :P Jack Russel Terrier

And I'm not even a dog lover ...
