[02:44] <Takyoji> This makes me cringe and shudder.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4MwTvtyrUQ
[03:42] <Takyoji> Gah; I wish I could just have the high-resolution versions of videos rather than videos that have been recompressed several times posted on YouTube..
[03:42] <Takyoji> Such as some of IBM's commercials, commercials for "Thai Insurance" (purely amazing work), and others
[04:57] <Takyoji> How comparable is Dirac to Theora?
[05:28] <Alpha_Cluster> i just realized that its helps a major corperation to release code as GPL instead of BSD >.< a scary realization
[05:53] <Alpha_Cluster> anyone in here using ext4 as their main systems fs?
[05:53] <Takyoji> On my Karmic/Lucid desktop, yes
[05:53] <Alpha_Cluster> any issues?
[05:54] <Alpha_Cluster> i am trying to decide what to do for FS i am loading up my desktop as a fileserver/media center
[05:54] <Takyoji> Haven't really noticed any yet
[05:54] <Alpha_Cluster> and was thinking ove using ext4 instead of jfs
[05:55] <Takyoji> I haven't used JFS myself
[05:56] <Alpha_Cluster> ive been using it for years now since i droped xfs and reiserfs
[05:58] <kermit> xfs to jfs?  i thought xfs was basicly the same as jfs but more developed.
[05:59] <Alpha_Cluster> jfs is IBM xfs was SGI
[06:00] <Alpha_Cluster> realy i want btrfs
[06:00] <Alpha_Cluster> jfs
[06:00] <Alpha_Cluster> whoops wrong keyboard
[06:02] <kermit> why'd you switch to jfs from xfs?  i use xfs.
[06:02] <Alpha_Cluster> xfs is known to lose data when there is a power loss
[06:02] <Alpha_Cluster> i didnt have a ups for quite a while and so i didnt trust it
[06:05] <kermit> thats nontechnical FUD
[06:05] <Alpha_Cluster> lol i know
[06:05] <Alpha_Cluster> like i said its just till i can use btrfs
[06:05] <kermit> i think the default write delays are longer for XFS than some other systems, for efficiency sake, but you can lower it
[06:06] <kermit> like ext3 users would always say xfs 'lost data' in crashes.. but xfs defaults to something like a 30 second data flush, whereas i tihnk ext3 defaults to 5 seconds
[06:06] <Alpha_Cluster> i dont care os much about the speed gains as the reliablity
[06:06] <kermit> which in xfs is tunable, and in ext3 it isnt
[06:06] <Alpha_Cluster> ext3 is crap
[06:06] <kermit> you can set it to 1 second, or just mount it syncchronous, if you wanted
[06:06] <Alpha_Cluster> its slow and shitty
[06:09] <Alpha_Cluster> wee starting install now well disc check first but still starting
[07:29] <Takyoji> I think one thing that seems a little overlooked is "Answers" on Launchpad.
[07:29] <Takyoji> There's like over 700 unanswered questions by other people
[07:31] <Alpha_Cluster> Takyoji: i have tried going through and answering but so many questions are just crazy complex
[07:31] <Alpha_Cluster> a lot you look at and go "who could know this exact thing?"
[07:32] <kermit> i'm having a house party at 410 2nd st NE at the moment, ubuntu users are welcome!  there's a keg.
[07:35] <Takyoji> by searching through other people's past experience with similar things. :P
[07:37] <Takyoji> Some of these are so freakishly simple
[07:39] <Takyoji> Leaving for the night
