@ThatBrazilianGuy Brazilian heat?

@allquixotic The most heat it got, by far , was from either charging the battery or poorly coded apps. I swear, I could use some games (cough Only One cough) as a replacement for my oven.

4:23 PM

@JourneymanGeek all fixed and attached :D

the backing wasn't sticky enough, so... duct tape on the ends, daiso double-sided tape down the middle :P

works pretty well

I've gotta say, adding lights wasn't even near a consideration when I bought this mobo :P

@JourneymanGeek looks like the ripping actually happened cause the heatshrink went on too tight -_-

@JourneymanGeek my next step is to somehow hook this up to monitor power :P

I think I can interrupt the 12V line with a relay (or transistor, it's only 2A) powered by the monitor's USB port :D

@Bob all about rgb!

Bob

@djsmiley2k ?

djsmiley2k

joke/meme in computer modding currently

rgb everything (rgb ram?)

Bob

o.O

lol

djsmiley2k

linus media group did a rgb chair

Bob

I only added these for the whole bias lighting thing

djsmiley2k

4:57 PM

The RGB Chair NO ONE asked for

►

Bob

bonus of it being colour-controlled is I can set a redder tint

djsmiley2k

bias lighting?

Bob

@djsmiley2k thing @JourneymanGeek did :P

djsmiley2k

are yours just static colour?

or do they change with the screen?

I setup something on the raspi which basically copied the phillips hue view thingy

Bob

@djsmiley2k static at the moment

there's a (brand new) Aura SDK in beta at the moment

djsmiley2k

4:59 PM

was an absolute PITA to setup

Bob

but once it's out Aurora will probably integrate it and then it can change with the screen

but I probably won't bother

djsmiley2k

the thing i had sample from the hdmi splitter, down sampled to vga, took 'average' of the colours on certain parts of the image, sent this out to hyperion which set the leds at those points

so it knew how many leds around your monitor and such too, really nice and clever

not sure why i stopped using it, lol

Bob

@djsmiley2k overkill for my purposes :P

djsmiley2k

yah

Oooooooooooooo now i remember

one of the cats pee'd on one of the montiors at hte time (unrelated to the project)

so i had to tear that out, and because of that I ended up taking it all down

Bob

lol

djsmiley2k

5:05 PM

then i started on the fishtank project, and never wqent bakc to it.

hmmm tho now i'd need new led strip, i still have the rest of it

Bob

5:23 PM

@JourneymanGeek soo, scaleway got new shiny new ARM servers. they're core-for-core faster than the Avotons...

avoton C2750 was 9s per core with the sysbench 10000 prime run

those ARM servers were 6s per core on the same run

Well, you could. But just once for the next couple months.

Ok? :D

jokerdino

It's like people crying that they can't bend their iPhone. Of course they can but only once!

djsmiley2k

Night shift tonight, who's on for the next 12 or so hours to keep me sane?

jokerdino

Uhm, not me.

djsmiley2k

after wife shouting at daughter this morning, for something that she'd not actually d the thing she'd said she'd done

defalt

So Intel Optane is turned out to be not as good as intel was saying

djsmiley2k

she has this habit of not listening to a question the first time you ask her, and just answering yes.

@defalt say it aint so

defalt

previously intel was saying that it would be 1000xSSD and now it is 8x

still faster than RAM though

djsmiley2k

6:18 PM

how does it compare to ram tho

cost, persistance, energy usage?

defalt

they have not started manufacturing for DIMM slots..just a prototype which was actually faster than RAM

they made no comparison stats with RAM

djsmiley2k

so it could be as productive as carbon nano tubes

great if you can get em, incredibly impossible to actually make viable

defalt

I still feel comfortable with hard drives

djsmiley2k

i got plenty of hdds

defalt

why manufacturers are facing problems in increasing the RPM of hdd? say from 7200rpm to 10800

maybe they can't find the better motor

djsmiley2k

6:28 PM

think about how fast the outer rim of that disk is spinning

think how fast cd's go before the metal litterally starts to fly off...

at least I presume that's why

you can get 15k's surely tho?

SAS drives?

Pichi Wuana

If I run an executable in cmd and it does use networking, how can I see in the Wireshark it is in fact working with network? (I don't think I will see the name of the executable in Wireshark, for example)

defalt

most of the time I come to know the source of packets who is generating them by reading it

djsmiley2k

you view the port it's using

using netstat you can see which application has bound to which ports

which infact means there's no reason why wireshark couldn't tell you also

defalt

I find this feature missing in wireshark..it must tell you who is generating which packets

like tcpdump

djsmiley2k

urgh

my internet is flaking out

or maybe freenode is

bertieb

6:53 PM

Oho, crashing when inserting a citation the day before the report is due, LibreOffice? Cheeky, cheeky

djsmiley2k

@bertieb 2 days before my disseration was due, open office decided to render everything in a cyric alphabet.

that was fun

That Brazilian Guy

I do hope this question has been asked purely for referential purposes, otherwise humanity is apparently doomed. If students these days can't fool an exam system with this level of security themselves, I don't dare imagine what they actually do learn:) — Pavel 12 hours ago

bertieb

@djsmiley2k Sounds it

That Brazilian Guy

@djsmiley2k Hey, time to learn Russian!

bertieb

@ThatBrazilianGuy ITYM Bulgarian

djsmiley2k

6:55 PM

oh it was IN english

just not with english letters.

yeah, that basically IS bulgarian

English, written by Russians, using russian alphabet

almost everything is phonetically spelt,

just looks weird xD

bertieb

@djsmiley2k ITYM Bulgarian alphabet

djsmiley2k

we went there when i was about 12, and I was like... ok this is weird, I can read the road signs, place names, etc.

bertieb

Cyrillic script

The Cyrillic script /sᵻˈrɪlɪk/ is a writing system used for various alphabets across eastern Europe and north and central Asia. It is based on the Early Cyrillic, which was developed in the First Bulgarian Empire during the 9th century AD at the Preslav Literary School. It is the basis of alphabets used in various languages, past and present, in parts of southeastern Europe and northern Eurasia, especially those of Slavic origin, and non-Slavic languages influenced by Russian. As of 2011, around 252 million people in Eurasia use it as the official alphabet for their national languages, with Russia...

> It is based on the Early Cyrillic, which was developed in the First Bulgarian Empire during the 9th century AD at the Preslav Literary School.

@djsmiley2k Whereabouts?

(sorry for the pedantry, but Bulgarians get peeved if you call it the 'Russian alphabet')

djsmiley2k

@bertieb Sunny Beach

before it was famous

bertieb

@djsmiley2k Heh; 'most affordable resort in Europe'... unless you're Bulgarian

djsmiley2k

6:59 PM

yeah I can imagine

bertieb

Is this before or after the mafia shootings? :P

djsmiley2k

this was the time when they were changing their currency

lol dunno, when was that?

it was like 12 years ago or something

maybe longer, i dunno

bertieb

@djsmiley2k You do have an alibi, right? :P

djsmiley2k

:D

i was jumping up and down on a fault line

and then the next week there was an earthquake there -_-

bertieb

@djsmiley2k Oh dear 0_o

PSA: if something bad happens, check if @djsmiley2k has been in the area recently

(too harsh? :P)

djsmiley2k

7:04 PM

:D

google turkish earthquake around that time

maybe a bit earlier

djsmiley2k

7:56 PM

durp de durp

my brain isn't happy about tonights shift

Pichi Wuana

@defalt Wireshark tells you who is generating the packets?

That Brazilian Guy

8:15 PM

@bertieb @djsmiley2k please, don't come to Brazil.

I can see the news headlines the day after: "Earthquakes, volcanoes and hurricanes for the first time ever in Brazil. Scientists are baffled."

djsmiley2k

Brazil doesn't need no help ;D

That Brazilian Guy

We got no earthquakes, volcanoes or hurricanes but oh boy, you should see our politicians!

And our police

And our hospitals

And our schools

And our... okay you get the idea. .___.

djsmiley2k

suddenly you're thinking me coming over, might do some good? ;)

That Brazilian Guy

If you promise you'll visit the country's capital I'll start the crowdfunding right now!

But only if you jump up and down on the congress, like, a few dozen times.

I really need to look into whipping up a batch script that takes a list of IP's, some file locations, and does some work on them (robocopying files) as that's the 2nd time now we've had some wide scale problem, and the solution has been 'manually copy this file to everyone who calls in'

if I could run a command that'll just robocopy it to say 10 IP\c$\some\file\path at a time...

DavidPostill

@djsmiley2k You need one of the variants of a for loop or the equivalent in ps.

djsmiley2k

yah

I figured that much, just wondering if someones already got a script they wanted to share with me ;)

DavidPostill

9:54 PM

@djsmiley2k Are you better with batch files or ps?

djsmiley2k

batch

I've done 0 ps.

DavidPostill

You need two nested for loops. The outer one for the files and the inner one copying each file to each server.

Or the other way around

A: batch file to copy a file to multiple computers by iteration?

Try this: FOR /F "delims=" %%i IN (targets.txt) DO ( xcopy "D:\some.txt" "%%i" ) targets.txt should contain entries like "\\10.124.66.72\texts" in each line

djsmiley2k

bullseye

robocopy..... will only do one file at a time? I think...

/me tries to remember

ah well I'll google it in a bit

DavidPostill

@djsmiley2k ROBOCOPY Source_folder Destination_folder [files_to_copy] [options]

djsmiley2k

yeah, can I wildcard files_to_copy ?

oh it's optional, so maybe we just leave no file names :/

DavidPostill

10:04 PM

@djsmiley2k Yes to wildcards

Copies all files if no files_to_copy

ss64.com/nt/robocopy.html

So using robocopy you only need the for loop for the target ips.

djsmiley2k

yeah

right, will write something in not too long then ;)

I think it maybe time to really shine at work

and show up how crap some people really are :/

DavidPostill

@djsmiley2k :)

Feel free to ask for help if you get stuck - we can make a question / answer out of it for the main site ;p

djsmiley2k

yah sure

7 nights generally leads to massive bordom, so first I gotta work thru the nightly tasks, then we can party

Q: How do I connect a SAS3 drive to a SAS2-capable motherboard that only has SATA-style ports?

I have purchased two items that I want to mate: A SuperMicro motherboard: X10SL7-F A Seagate Enterprise SAS drive: ST6000NM0034 The motherboard seems to be somewhat unique in that it has eight (8) SAS/SATA connectors connected to an LSI 2308 SAS controller. The connectors are SATA-type rather...
