@bwDraco Alright. I'll let it rot where it fell.

Can anybody tell me why I can't telnet to port 6666 with this UFW enabled?

@Ave I actually want to keep tag extraction from libmpdclient support in tribblify, but the path of least resistance to accomplish my current goal was to rip it out

if I have time I'll make a synthesis of the two

aesthetically I love using Vala to write stuff like this... because I get to write code that looks like C#, but performs like C, because the Vala gets compiled down to C, then gcc whacks it with its advanced optimizer and I get a really nice, dynamically linked ELF binary out

the hotspots in my code are completely within the external libraries I use :P

Ave

Hm

I might check out vala

allquixotic

the way I see it, for non performance sensitive apps, using C# is probably just as good, but if you're using the GNOME platform, Vala is arguably even better, because I've noticed that the -sharp bindings for the GNOME platform are often incomplete

so are the Python bindings

and by the GNOME platform, I mean things that aren't necessarily bound to the GNOME desktop, like GLib-2.0 and its associated modules (gmodule-2.0, gobject-2.0, etc.) which are widely used on Linux outside of GNOME, even in KDE

though also things like gtk+-3.0 and gstreamer-1.0

Ave

I kinda hate gnome3

I don't use a gtk de either soo

allquixotic

12:16 AM

I don't like the gnome desktop environment (gnome-shell, etc.) but I'm a huge fan of Mate and Cinnamon, which heavily use the same libraries and are just more user-friendly for power users, and still based on GTK3

and gstreamer is by far my favorite audio/video processing library, more than ffmpeg

actually I've done a decent amount of Qt-GUI as well as GTK3... I think I like GTK3 a bit more but Qt works fine for GUIs too, and is easier to get running on Windows IMO.. less dicking around with the build system... download Qt SDK, launch Qt Creator, make a .pro file and start writing code

now that's awesome... my favorite part of this solution so far. Spotify Connect... driving the playlist / song selection from my desktop (or phone, or...) while playing it on my i3-4010U NUC

Just pulled that old Plextor M5M mSATA SSD from the old Dragon. I have a mSATA USB enclosure coming tomorrow.

Probably just going to use it as a scratch space. I think it has about 10 TBW or so on it.

It's a 64 GB drive, so it's not particularly fast with writes, but 150 MB/s is still nothing to scoff at.

ugh. So much dust on that SSD card.

(and if you're wondering if there's anyone still making mSATA SSDs, Samsung still has their 850 EVO in mSATA, and the upcoming 860 EVO will be available in mSATA, see webcache.googleusercontent.com/…)

allquixotic

3:28 AM

@bwDraco lol. I'm presently using a 32 GB MyDigitalSSD mSATA SSD, dated from shortly after the Haswell NUC went to market. Running Ubuntu on it. I used it to do some small amount of development using Vala and Anjuta, now I'm using Spotify on it

32 gig SSD sounds so small now

bwDraco

Already backed up the complete contents of the drive, stored in two places.

allquixotic

and tbh its cache gets filled so easily that it's slower than a HDD on sustained loads

bwDraco

I'm planning to erase the whole thing and just use it as a scratch space.

Plextor managed to squeeze a hell of a lot of performance out of 64 GB of (IIRC) Toshiba A19nm MLC NAND.

And Plextor SSDs are generally very reliable FWIW.

Looked up the part number – yes, it's A19 MLC.

@bwDraco @allquixotic 'cept it doesn't do redundancy AFAIK so it's by no means any kind of RAID replacement.

It doesn't really do much that, say, PrimoCache doesn't. Except allow you to use the full storage, I suppose.

bwDraco

Oct 17 '17 at 21:54, by allquixotic

well, I have *two* volumes and a total of 6 storage devices:
2 x 8 TB HDD (bog standard HGST blah) in HW RAID-1
2 x 1 TB Samsung 850 Pro in HW RAID-0
2 x 256 GB Samsung 850 Pro as read/write MaxCache for the HDDs

Bob

@allquixotic you on steam? :P

@allquixotic I'm running a "Samsung SSD" on my NUC-like ... which isn't actually samsung but some reaaaaaaaaaaally dodgy thing with the controller modified to return that name

@bwDraco Point being?

bwDraco

That's his current configuration.

Bob

@bwDraco So?

bwDraco

So... this is likely to still require a RAID card.

Bob

3:49 AM

Ya, so this fusiondrive thing isn't gonna replace it

unless quix wants to switch to software raid or break the array

CensOS 7 anyone.... after saving IP configs on minimal install with nmtui and activate, if I restart the machine or run systemctl restart network the eth0 interface goes back to deactivated? Is there something to make that stick from there with no other file config changes?

Q: What is VPN ( Virtual Private Network )

A VPN is a simply a secure connection over a public network. In old days two people wanted to communicate, they had to lease an expensive private line and run their own private network. But in this age they can use public network like public WiFi. But Internet is insecure. If you want to communic...

I say "question" because it just a copy and paste of some random material likely wikipedia

Trouble Maker Chat Broom

@allquixotic I did systemctl enable network and then restarted it and it lost the settings still. This message did tell me "network.service is not a native service, redirecting to /sbin/chkconfig. Executing /sbin/chkconfig network on" though.

that was quick

Ramhound

I searched for the first two sentences, and verbatim result for a vpn service was the result, I am treating it as spam for that reason

So you know you have UI issues when it takes somebody with two BA's and one Masters degree to restore files from your desktop client.

Journeyman Geek

._.

Ramhound

(Crashplan) anyways restored twice 60 GB worth of data, but the restoration fails, saying something along the lines of "unable to restore until sync is complete"

well the sync can't be completed until the files are restored..

I hope the restore works this time.

I guess I will find out

Journeyman Geek

didn't crashplan discontinue their service?

Bob

ya

Journeyman Geek

or am I confusing them with someone else?

Bob

4:51 AM

discontinued the home one

iirc you can still get the business one

Ramhound

I am trying to restore my files from my last crash so I can migrate to their business service

and use their improved client

which i hope makes more sense

Let's just say I have been uninterested in dong this for awhile :$

@Bob Aus to Tel Aviv through finland?

Trouble Maker Chat Broom

@allquixotic I found out the ifcfg-eth0 config file needed parameter to be ONBOOT=yes so after the nmtui I then run nmcli con mod eth0 connection.autoconnect yes and after restarting machine or network service the network settings are still effective.

I was just trying to find a quicker way than manually using vi to update the configs so it seems using those two methods are the quickest for me since I'm slow with vi at the moment.

nmtui and also that nmcli command

Trouble Maker Chat Broom

5:41 AM

Also when I was experiencing that problem, the ifcfg for the (eth0) NIC retained the IP address and DNS settings but it did not assign to the interface the IP address after I restarted the machine or the network service per ip addr output so I may have stated that wrongly per the systemctl start suggestion you gave me. Thanks regardless!

So whatever nmtui does when you "activate" the interface it can make the interface have the IP assigned to it without the ifcfg file ONBOOT=yes if that makes sense.

@allquixotic ^^^^

allquixotic

@TroubleMakerChatBroom huh, okay... glad you got it working though

Trouble Maker Chat Broom

@allquixotic It seems odd nmtui would not allow you to set the ONBOOT=yes parameter of the config file too. It is able to activate and assign the IP to the NIC and set all those other IP settings but not that particular parameter.
