@tapped-out: there's been more than usual this week

hmm

not sure if its a good SU question so I'll throw it out here first

I have a 1tb drive that keeps getting corrupted, but smart tests seem to be fine, outside old age

its NTFS formatted and it takes TWO DAYS to run chkdsk on it

I'm pondering reformatting it to see if that helps but I'm wondering if there's anything else I should do that's fun for a crapped out drive first

tapped-out

dd'ing the whole drive to /dev/null in order to read the whole disk?

i.e. dd if=/dev/[whatever] of=/dev/null bs=512

Journeyman Geek

its on windows at the moment...

hmm

and that would probably spit out anything that won't read, yes?

tapped-out

oh, this is the drive from that computer you were talking about... yesterday?

Journeyman Geek

ya

tapped-out

12:47 AM

it should ... IIRC dd stops on errors

Journeyman Geek

this is the second time its gotten itself messed up and chkdisking

and its the shared system, so everyone else suffers from it being down

thinking of dusting off my old netbook class mini ITX and putting it in there instead

since if it goes down, no one cares ;p

tapped-out

one wonders if it's the drive or something else in the system

Journeyman Geek

oh god

that would be fun since the system is about 5 years old

the PSU and video card are significantly newer

tested the ram within the last year for some unrelated issue

tapped-out

but the only way to test that would be to pull the disk and put it in another system, and since it's a shared system... probably won't want to do that

Journeyman Geek

oh, pulling the disk once the chkdisk is done is a definate

most of the data on the disk is mine, from when I was sharing the system

tapped-out

12:59 AM

Cyclone

Hey guys, if I am getting an SSD for my laptop (for use in my modular bay), how can I move my windows installation over? I want it to boot from there but still be able to access my other drive if that's possible.

Journeyman Geek

1:01 AM

we actually have enough running computers to do it

@Cyclone: any good cloning software should do the trick

assuming you have enough space on the SSD

a fresh install has some advantages tho, depending on the version of windows

Cyclone

So I can clone JUST the OS and boot from there but still use my normal crap?

without cloning my data haha

Journeyman Geek

@Cyclone: hmm.

tapped-out

if you have data and OS separate...

Journeyman Geek

I SEEM to recall some cloning software lets you say what not to clone

I'd probably go on a ~~massacre~~ clean up spree first tho

tapped-out

and you're sure you can boot from the modular bay?

Journeyman Geek

1:05 AM

@tapped-out: people do that suprisingly often

tapped-out

^from something other than a CD drive

the last laptop I owned that could boot from non-CDs in the modular bay had a PIII in it

Cyclone

I'm positive I can

Journeyman Geek

@tapped-out: unless you somehow have a sata based system with an atapi drive (so at least up to c2d era), they use standard sata

Cyclone

and uh yeah I'd probably uninstall..as much as i can first

Journeyman Geek

@Cyclone: why not a fresh install?

you can use the sticker at the bottom with the appropriate media

Cyclone

1:08 AM

Cause I'm a programmer and I have hundreds of things installed that'd be a huge pain to reinstall

Journeyman Geek

then just install what you want

Cyclone

But is it possible to install win7 cleanly on this new ssd and then access my crap without needing to reboot?

crap being internal hdd

data? yes, probably

Journeyman Geek

If you set the size to something you're comfortable with, you can type with just your thumbs, like on a smartphone, with a bit of practice. Also, the pen input mode is very nice. Handwriting recognition is superb, and it picks everything up intuitively and easily.

I'm now using a shared hosting service and am looking for VPS instead. Is there any way I can compare these two to each other to see how much RAM and such I need? Or should I ask that somewhere else?

Bob

7:39 AM

What are you planning to run?

Can you share any details about your current hosting plan?

user61389

Unfortunately it's Dutch, but it has dual quadcore 3.7GHz, 128M PHP memory limit. I'm now looking at a 256MB / 2.4GHz VPS. Most important thing is that I want both Node.js and PHP on one server.

user61389

I know nothing about this server stuff, to be honest :)

user61389

Hang on; 2.4Ghz @ 40%!

slhck

I got a VPS and would never trade the configurability back for shared hosting, even if it might be a little slower.

user61389

Because.. full control?

slhck

7:50 AM

Yup. Starting from the PHP version, the backups you can take, managing VirtualHosts like it's meant to be without a crappy web interface, etc

user61389

That's what I thought as well. Also; in my end application I'd like to install an SSL script - is every VPS compatible with that or do I need something more?

slhck

I have no clue about SSL to be honest but it's a plain vanilla server and you can do with it whatever you want :)

user61389

Okay :) and you have an own IP address anyway, right?

slhck

Exactly!

user61389

And... (you're not done with me yet!) I can just set up multiple subdomains with Apache's VirtualHost? Just checking :)

slhck

7:55 AM

Yep you can. Of course you need the domain provider as well, but yeah!

user61389

Yes, of course :) one last question... if you want :)

slhck

sure

user61389

Something I'm more worried about: on my shared server I can setup multiple domains on one hosting. The DNS of all my domains point to the same IP. Is the same possible with a VPS?

slhck

Of course. You will just configure the VirtualHosts in Apache so that they serve different sites on different domains.

user61389

Okay, great! Thanks a lot :)

slhck

7:58 AM

If you want to try the performance in PHP I could maybe give you an account on my VPS. I have 256 MB RAM (512 burst)

user61389

@slhck I have no idea how to do that, actually. But my websites aren't really used a lot anyway; so I guess I can just start with 256MB/980MHz and upgrade if needed. But thanks for the offer! :)

slhck

@CamilStaps Some plans don't offer later upgrades, but you'll have to look around. In case you wanna try something let me know okay?

user61389

@slhck yes, thanks!! I'll ask first if they offer later upgrades before I buy something :)

Shadow can be configured a bit

If I understand how that addon works correctly I don't think it will help. If messages aren't in the same folder (which they won't be as pop emails are sorted into folders and gmail emails aren't) then it won't find a duplicate. — Sam Hasler 2 hours ago

Why don't you just try it?! O.o

Bob

> pop emails are sorted into folders and gmail emails aren't

nope nope nopity nope

pop has no concept of folders, just an inbox

and labels work well enough as folders in thunderbird :P

can get a little ocnfusing with the same mail in multiple folders, though

ruda.almeida

About Thunderbird and IMAP: I have about 10gb in my gmail inbox, if I configure IMAP in thunderbird will it download all the messages or just the headers?

Bob

@ruda.almeida depends how you configure it

Oliver Salzburg

The thing is, the extension I mentioned treats every item in the Thunderbird navigation tree as a "folder", so you can just run it on the root node of an account. This would be immediately apparent once you run the thing for the first time :P

But that solution is still stupid. The proper approach, IMHO, would be to simply set up filters. Because you most likely want future mails sorted automatically anyway

Bob

@OliverSalzburg Well, often i raise possible concerns when I can't really test something for myself.

Oliver Salzburg

11:43 AM

But I guess he's just looking for something that requires as little effort as possible

@Bob He's the guy that set up the bounty. I would assume, if he wants a solution to this problem, he has Thunderbird installed

Bob

Oliver Salzburg

And a little trust in a proposed solution by yours truly wouldn't hurt every once in a while! :D

Bob

xD

Oliver Salzburg

Some people and their email... I know people who use IMAP, but still move their mail into local folders (manually, obviously). And then they ask me how they could have the same email folders on their mobile as well.

And I tell them, well, use IMAP instead of POP3. "But I'm already using IMAP and it's shit. It doesn't do what I want!"

Q: Web browser with memory management

Is there any web browser with manual memory management exist? So I can limit memory consumption, also it would be nice if can handle 'infinite' number of tabs.

memory browser

So... it should be able to limit the RAM to infinity? :D

slhck

Yeah, a browser that only consumes 20MB of RAM and opens infinite tabs. Suuure.

Bob

@slhck Eh. I've got something like that going.

As long as you don't expect fast swapping.

Oliver Salzburg

@slhck I wonder what he expects the browser to do once the limit is reached...

Most applications don't even handle out of memory situation gracefully, let alone web appllications :D

Bob

@OliverSalzburg Presumably, unloads some tab's contents from memory.

And/or temporarily saves to disk.

Yeah, but on the other hand, Yahoo probably isn't buying it to advertise Yahoo on it :D They'll probably just sell ads to other companies as usual. And then they only care if the companies pay, not if the ads was effective

What does that do? Or is it simply required for them to grow?

@HackToHell Thanks

HackToHell

@ruda.almeida you will have to change the timeout value in grub.cfg

Oliver Salzburg

@Hennes What kind of soil do you use? Anything special?

Hennes

Required: Yes and no

Plant do use oxygen. Not just generate it.

Oliver Salzburg

@Hennes Sure, I just assumed it's enough when the part above the soil has access to the air :D

Hennes

When there is sufficient light and CO2 then fotosynthesis generates more O2 than the plant uses. But it uses part of that.

And it generates it above ground while the roots also need some air

Which is why worms are 'good for the sol'.

I tried to help root growth by adding an air pipe

Oliver Salzburg

2:29 PM

Interesting. So, is that something that is simply an optimization that can be done while growing any plant?

Or is this procedure specific to peppers?

Hennes

Yes. there are three ways to help the plant:

Oliver Salzburg

Heheh, kitty is tired :D

Hennes

1) Soid which allows a lot of air (I often use 1/3rd perlite, 2/3 normal ground)

2) Pots (brick pots, not plastic) which permate air

HackToHell

@Hennes use earthern pots

Oliver Salzburg

@Hennes That is really cool. I like the transparent "pot" approach

Hennes

2:31 PM

3) Adding air someway else, e.g. by dangling the roots in air and spraying water over them

Journeyman Geek

AKA aerophonics

Hennes

It is part of a milk bottle where I cut off the top

Just to see if it would work

HackToHell

@Hennes they don't need that much air ....

Hennes

@JourneymanGeek Yup. Works great.

But uses power, can leak on my wooden floor, ...

HackToHell

Adding a couple of worms is easier ;p

Hennes

2:32 PM

Aye, worms would be easier. But this was a fun experiment

Compared to last years plants these do seem to grow deeper and less wide

So it seems to be working.

Ofc. to get proper measurements I would need a set of these.
Some with extra air.
Some extra wide
etc etc

@Hennes How long do these plants live? Do you have to replant every year?

And how are you still alive with those many hot peppers :D

Hennes

The habanero Orange (the large one) is now in its third or fourth year.
They can live a lot longer, but the fruit yield will drop off.

If you want to plant them yearly: plant in Jan/Feb (with enough light) and harvest late late summer. The fruit needs about 120 days to ripen

So I keep them indoors during the winter.

My heat tolerance has increased somewhat in the last years. ;-)

Also, I wear gloves when picking the hot ones (e.g. habenaro, scotch bonnet etc). Most of those get cut into strips, dried, then ground into a powder.

My kitchen now has several peppers, from the tame dull red cayenne (shop bought), to yellow madam Jeanetta, deep red Scotch bonnet powder and nice orange habanero powder.

But I produced more then I needed. So I cut back on some peppers and planted more herbs.

Fresh herbs++

Last Friday we had dinner with 6 people. I put some cheese filled peppers on the table. Two other ate them. One got into a problem with his stomach. The other stopped after one. I finished the rest is the delicious filled peppers.

Shog9 on May 20, 2013

Stack Overflow has always had a strong focus on individual merit. Although collaboration is encouraged to some extent by the editing features, attribution on posts and the design of user profiles all tend to emphasize rugged individuality, that lone wolf toiling away at a keyboard.

But most of us don’t actually work that way. We’re social creatures by nature, and the most challenging part of finding a good job can be finding the pack you want to run with.
