Ask Ubuntu General Room

Don't ever ask me why I think desktop apps are still superior to web apps when Gmail's tab is eating 300 MB of RAM vs. nearly half of that for entire Thunderbird.

Zacharee1

heheh

Nathan Osman

And even Thunderbird is heavily bloated.

100 MB for an email app is reasonable.

Conspiracy theory #157 — Chrome colludes with memory manufacturers to sell more units.

Okay, we'll accept "lol" as a valid response to Chrome's memory usage.

I like how you picked a random number for this and the corresponding rule fit it xD

Serg

Nathan Osman

@Seth Conspiracy theory #158 — maybe I didn't pick it randomly :D

Seth

Mon-Tue I worked for 40h straight...

Personal record broken!

Are the chat-emoticons ready??? :)

Serg

@Fabby hey, welcome back :)

well, the clipboard manager is ready, you can use that

Fabby

@NathanOsman Sorry man, been really busy. Do you still need my gmail or is it open now?

user136984

@Serg: You're blue? God, this is going to get rather confusing with all these solid colours around... :D

Nathan Osman

user136984

Anyway, goodnight! :)

Fabby

Nathan Osman

Awesome.

Nathan Osman

£9.60 for the Pi Zero W.

But that is not going to be easy to get here.

Zacharee1

11:44 PM

@Serg I don't see one

oh

it's the stream

Is this the world's 3rd quietest Let's Play?

what happened to Thomas?

@NathanOsman do you have any HDD recommendations for RAID storage?

Nathan Osman

Afraid not.

Zacharee1

darn

Downgoat

@Zacharee1 I use WD blues in my NAS IIRC

Nathan Osman

Don't have any RAID setups here.

Zacharee1

@Downgoat what's the pricing?

@NathanOsman I jsut need something reliable and not too Apple-priced

Nathan Osman

11:47 PM

Blues are comparatively cheap.

I have one in my desktop IIRC.

Downgoat

@Zacharee1 $50/1TB

Zacharee1

o_O

Downgoat

I got a 3TB one for ~$100 IIRC

Zacharee1

now should I do 1TB or 2TB?

Nathan Osman

Scratch that. Mine is green.

Zacharee1

11:48 PM

@Downgoat well I need to get four for the equivalent of 2

Nathan Osman

This is what I have in mine: newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822236404

And yes. Always get 2 TB.

Zacharee1

That's expensive

so 2TB 5400RPM > 1TB 7200RPM

Nathan Osman

$100 for 2 TB?

Downgoat

wait nevermind they are reds

Zacharee1

@NathanOsman it says $200 here

Seth

11:49 PM

@NathanOsman your link is $191 for 2TB

Nathan Osman

Oh oops.

Wrong store.

Zacharee1

amazon.com/Blue-Desktop-Hard-Disk-Drive/dp/B013QFRS2S/…

It's $70

that seems good to me

Nathan Osman

That's more like it.

5400 RPM though?

Zacharee1

that's what I was asking about

the 1TB is 7200

Nathan Osman

Ah. Depends on your needs.

Zacharee1

11:52 PM

I don't exactly know my needs :p

Nathan Osman

I have an SSD in mine for the OS and whatnot. The mechanical disk is for other data.

Zacharee1

this is exclusively storage

these PowerEdge servers have 4 extra slots each for SATA

Nathan Osman

I need a small amount of fast storage and a large amount of not-so-fast storage.

Zacharee1

6 slots total, but two are for the OS :p

$200 for 2TB... hmm

If these are basically going to be for a NAS, do I really need 7200RPM?

Serg

@ParanoidPanda yes, im blue, dabu dee dabu daa, dabu dee dabu daa, dabu dee dabuda

Zacharee1

11:55 PM

@Serg tsk
