jrwrenwhat is TDM?00:27
jrwrenhate bash???? *gasp*00:27
jrwrenI love bash00:27
rick_h_team death match?00:27
jrwrenah.00:29
snap-lbrousch: Can you  write it in Python. Sheesh.00:42
snap-lAlso, we're not cool.00:42
snap-lhttp://hardocp.com/article/2011/07/26/thermalright_hr02_macho_cpu_air_cooler_review <- What the fuck?00:43
snap-lI'd be worried that the CPU fan would warp the mobo at that height.00:43
snap-lhttps://twitter.com/#!/joindiaspora/statuses/9818662478087372800:46
snap-lSeriously?00:46
rick_h_:)00:47
rick_h_love that00:47
snap-lThere's just no good way to read that00:48
snap-leither a) they weren't running with a slave, and don't know much about MySQL, or b) They have such a crappy server that it couldn't take the replication load, and nobody coded the site to be run in read-only mode.00:49
BlazeixI'm pretty ignorant of diaspora, but isn't it decentralized?00:49
Blazeixis this just the main node?00:49
snap-lMaybe there's a combo of things, but seriously, adding a slave should be transparent00:49
rick_h_wsan't there some thing that to get it to work you had to register your node with the main node?00:50
snap-lBlazeix: This is the main node, but I'm not sure what would cause the downtime.00:50
snap-lUnless they're doing an upgrade as well00:50
rick_h_come on, why isn't it put out over diaspora vs on twitter?00:50
rick_h_I mean, if you're using it, wouldn't you be likely following them there?00:50
snap-l*cough*00:50
rick_h_snap-l: heh, time to to 4 to 5 transition :P00:50
rick_h_and dammit, stop using mysql ugh00:51
snap-lApparently it's up00:51
snap-lMaybe someone got some sense.00:51
rick_h_you should volunteer, I hear htey have $$ to get some good sys admin help00:52
snap-lYeah, that would be a great gig00:53
snap-lI mean, if I fucked up, would both of their users notice?00:53
snap-l"Woah, need some overtime. Gotta put in a new 'MySQL Slave' server".00:54
snap-lI mean shit, we practically juggled some of our slave servers.00:55
brouschsnap-l: you see the sysadmin at gnu job opening?00:56
snap-lYes00:56
snap-lI'd have to move to take a paycut00:56
snap-lFascinated that they're using Apache, though00:57
brouschbut freedom!00:57
snap-lI would have thought that wouldn't jive with the FSF00:57
jjessewho needs money when you are living on freedom01:20
jrwrenis there a GNU web server?02:13
jrwrenthey should write one in lisp.02:13

TeamXlinkthe second file is the index.php02:31
TeamXlinkthe first file is the index.html02:31
TeamXlinkIts supposed to log the visitors ip to the file called: myvisitors02:32
_stink_TeamXlink: a php file isn't included as a script in an HTML file like a javascript file is.02:35
TeamXlinkOh.02:35
_stink_what you need is to run this on an instance of a web server that can run php02:36
_stink_TeamXlink: this might say more about getting started: http://w3schools.com/php/default.asp02:37

jrwrenquick poll: do you look at the contents of files in /lost+found or do you just delete tehm all?13:00
snap-ljrwren: it depends13:01
snap-lam I missing something or aren't I13:01
rick_h_delete13:01
jrwrensure, but that assumes you notice it missing. what if you delete adn notice it missing 5 yrs from now :)13:02
jrwreni ask because my cron.daily emails me and tells me to clean 'em up.13:03
snap-lThen you live and learn?13:03
snap-lI guess my question is why are you collecting so much in lost+found in the first place13:03
jrwrenha! or I learn the easy way and check first the first time.13:03
snap-land is it taking up so much space that it's becoming a problem?13:03
jrwrenthese are files from 2008-08-07 to 2009-02-03   :)13:04
jrwrenno, not taking any space.13:04
jrwrenI just want to limit the output of my cron.daily, to hopefully nothing so that I don't get email.13:04
jrwrenand I want to do it the right way :)13:04
snap-lFrankly, I'd leave them there, or do a quick file on them to see what they might be13:04
snap-land stop shutting down your filesystem uncleanly. ;)13:04
jrwrenI'm lessing each one, so far its been stuff I don't care about.13:04
jrwreni can't help it if there is a power outage.13:04
snap-lJournaled Filesystem13:05
jrwrenI'm too cheap for UPS13:05
jrwrenthis is ext3, sheesh, that doesn't mean things don't go to l+f13:05
snap-lRight13:05
jrwrenI had one of those seagate drives with teh bad firmware for a while. that lead to lots of instability13:06
snap-ljrwren: Which one? ;)13:06
snap-lSeagate made some real stinkers13:06
jrwrenit was a 750G IIRC but it was the one that was really noticed in their popular 1.5TB drives13:07
jrwrenat least it runs cool.13:07
jrwrenI have this 500GB Maxtor that runs hot as fire.13:07
snap-lAh, was thinking of the 1GB one that I had to RMA13:07
snap-lwhich was also being used on one of our servers at WSU13:08
snap-lsummarilly, each one of them went to hell13:08
jrwrenwas it that firmware issue?13:08
jrwrenoh wait... 1GB not 1TB :)13:08
jrwrenthat would have been a WHILE ago :)13:08
snap-lYeah, it was13:08
jrwrenonly 15 yrs or so13:08
jrwrenerr.. i guess not quite 15 yrs13:08
jrwrenanyone else here use testdrive ? or is it just me?13:09
snap-lWhat's testdrive?13:09
jrwrenzsync's an current ubundu-dev iso and boots it with KVM for you.13:10
jrwrenits very sweet, but the 11.10 installer stops recognizing KB input for me when it asks me to create the default user.13:10
snap-l"I like this Craig Maloney » Post Topic » A simple object lesson on what’s wrong with the music industry – dumping , enjoyed this one appreciate it for posting keep update Craig Maloney » Post Topic » A simple object lesson on what’s wrong with the music industry – dumping." - Spammers aren't even trying anymore. ;)13:11

greg-gI played a bit of world of goo13:56
greg-g"and yet it moves" looks like it might be a contender13:56
snap-lHeh. :)13:58
snap-lIf anything it's giving people more games to play than just Frozen bubble13:58
Wolfgerworld of goo was entertaining for a day, then I kind of forgot it existed14:03
Wolfgerwhenever anybody mentions it, I remember it fondly...14:04
greg-g:)14:04
* Wolfger wonders if goo exists for Android phones14:04
Wolfgerdoesn't look like it14:06
brouschsnap-l: Whats the difference between a drummer and a drum machine?14:26
brouschYou only have to punch the information into a drum machine once.14:26
snap-lHar har14:42
snap-lbrousch: So, did you listen to Libre?14:42
brouschno, i have the page up though14:43

brouschthe end doesn't quite fit with the rest of it14:53
brouschso i love everything but the middle and the end14:53
snap-lThank you. ;)14:53
snap-lUnfortunately, I didn't know how to end it, so I decided to nuke it from orbit. ;)14:54

WolfgerI think I called that a month ago.16:41
WolfgerShh. He's here now, quit talking about him.17:03
* Wolfger is glad nullspace doesn't read the archives...17:03

snap-lLearning SPARQL17:12
WolfgerIt's new and... you know... sparkly17:18
WolfgerI think it's a pretty nifty name, myself.17:18
Wolfgerfar better than MySQL or Postgres17:19
WolfgerDB2. MSSQL.17:20
WolfgerOracle is a decent name for a database.17:20
rick_h_and this is why we don't let Wolfger run our IT depts :P17:20
WolfgerLOL17:21
WolfgerNo.17:21
WolfgerI don't buy software based on the name.17:21
WolfgerBut I can appreciate good marketing when I see it.17:21
WolfgerCome on... if I made decisions base on names, do you think I ever would have tried Kubuntu (gesundheit)?17:22
rick_h_sure, I heard your favorite letter was K17:23
brouschyeah, right. you use kubuntu because you love choqok17:26
nullspacehmm, I really have no urge to go to ohio linux fest for the talks17:26
rick_h_nullspace: yea, been that way for years17:27
nullspacethe drive sucks, and the beer tickets are all gone by the time I get there17:28

brouschyougoboy17:59

jrwrenfreetard keynote19:30
ptenhoopenHe was OK.  Seemed a bit self-centered.19:31
jrwrenImma make a cheerful that says "MIT > GNU" and wave it around during his keynote19:31
ptenhoopenSeemed to be very knowledgeable regarding licensing, patents, etc.19:32
waldo323_who is planning on going to OLF this year?19:32
snap-lOh, no doubt.19:32
jrwrenhitler was knowledgeable.19:33
