=== dvz- is now known as Guest47198 [14:28] What have I missed folks? [14:28] Hows the ubucon/olf planning going? [16:12] where you from jackson ? [16:12] western PA [16:12] ah ok [16:13] Butler [16:13] you're ip looked similar to mine [16:13] ok [16:13] oh ok...where armstrong is based :) [16:13] yep [16:13] and u? [16:13] they don't service many areas... [16:13] I'm in Medina ohio [16:14] I think they only really service youngstown, medina, and western pa... [16:14] ok they service above pittsburgh and below I80 [16:15] you lurk the ohio loco room much? :) [16:15] occ [16:15] you come to OLF ever? [16:15] olf? [16:15] ohio linux fest [16:16] no just ham fests [16:16] you far from columbus? [16:16] 5 hrs [16:16] oh, ouch...that'd be a journey... [16:17] we've seen people from michigan and indianna and PA all come though [16:17] i lived in Dayton 4 4 years [16:18] are there any largish gatherings of linux folk in your neck of the woods? [16:18] thafreak: I'm going to try to put Boston on that list :) [16:18] anope very few [16:18] paultag: well, if you don't, you *WILL* be replaced with a shell script [16:18] thafreak: and I'm fine with that :) [16:18] oh, maybe I'll try out festival [16:18] while [ true ]; echo "fuck"; sleep 10; done [16:18] ah yes [16:19] echo "fuck" | festival --tts [16:19] might not be kid freindly though :) [16:19] thafreak: who said I was kid friendly? :) [16:19] nobody, but OLF probably should be :) [16:19] true :P [16:19] need to get them while they're young...make linux users for life out of them [16:20] I think that'll be my second tattoo... [16:20] hahaha [16:20] first has to be for my wife...i already promised her that :) [16:20] I want to get the hacker's emblem, the glider on my wrist [16:20] awwww [16:20] i'm thinking binary... [16:20] but not your average run of the mill ascii to binary [16:21] something gzip compressed or something [16:21] if it's text, it'll probably be utf-8 :) [16:21] or, I'm toying with 1bit bitmap image... [16:21] ohh, clever [16:21] :) [16:22] b/w images with decent dithering look good enough I figured [16:23] Hey, did you guys hear that google bought motorola mobility division??? [16:23] yeah! nuts! [16:24] now I got to wait till nexus++ comes out for my next phone...hopefully it won't be that long of a wait [16:25] :) [16:31] guys i got to go so see u later [16:43] so jackson was a kde user it seems... [16:54] paultag: http://www.unplggd.com/unplggd/24core-linux-cluster-in-30-ikea-drawers-079331 [16:55] Cheri703: oh that is just brilliant [16:56] I thought it was a cool idea :) and you could totally get the cabinet, start with one, and add as funds became available :) [16:57] just start in the top drawer and work your way down [16:57] Cheri703: that'd be fun :) [16:57] that way, you can put paperclips etc in the bottom ones without worrying about them falling into the CPU fan. [16:57] I'd be able to do it cheeper, I think [16:57] yeah, use it as storage til you build it up [16:57] there's no reason to use HDs in the cluster [16:57] doesn't look like the hard drives are mounted very stabily though [16:58] yeah, they discussed that in the comments on his site [16:58] yeah, I'd do net booting, or exteranal storage via esata [16:58] from him: "Thanks. The fit and portability are definitely awesome. We transported this across the country in the passenger seat of a car with the seatbelt on and the drawers taped shut." [16:58] so that's 300 off the bill [16:58] I wonder if I can do something like virtual machines that can migrate like vSphere does [16:59] but with virtualbox or xen or kvm or something [16:59] if you have more than one machine in a cluster like that, you really should put the storage outside...unless the cluster is specifically for providing storage itself :) [16:59] thafreak: truth [16:59] uh, paultag, totally [16:59] have you looked at the recent kvm/libvirt stuff? [16:59] thafreak: nope [17:00] does exactly that [17:00] as long as you have storage that is accessible by all nodes [17:00] so iscsi/nfs works fine [17:00] could have a raid setup in one drawer :) [17:00] or gluster I think is supported too [17:00] thafreak: oh interesting [17:00] fuck, now I want to do this [17:00] yes you could...as long as you have some way to stabily mount the drives [17:00] paultag: this could be your hardhack you were looking for :) [17:01] I bet I could cut it back to a few PSUs [17:01] * Cheri703 was lurking the other day ;) [17:01] Cheri703: :) [17:01] read the comments on the guy's site [17:01] some good suggestions there [17:01] it is linked in the article [17:01] Reminds me of the time in college I tried to build my own case out of plexi glass...way back when ALL computers were the same beige color....no exceptions [17:02] depending on how tall the drawers are, you could do 2.5" drives up on their sides, and could probably fit a LOT of them in there even with airflow... [17:03] you can buy enclosures to mount drives in, that you could bolt into the draw...and they mostly come with fans too... [17:03] shit, this would be fun [17:03] lamer use of the same cabinet: http://www.unplggd.com/unplggd/how-to/how-to-turn-ikea-drawers-into-a-cpu-house-129799 [17:05] http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/availability/00107874/ [17:05] also http://wiki.eth-0.nl/index.php/List_of_IkeaRacks [17:06] hummm [17:06] I wonder if I can cluster a shitload of ARM machines [17:06] they would be more size effective [17:07] http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817993002 [17:07] you could fit like 200 arm machines in that [17:08] if you get the equivalent of the pogo plug...the bare board [17:08] dude, a backpack supercluster [17:08] dual core 1.x ghz arms [17:08] oh, also, I'm told that pogo plugs are 50% off today...not sure how long that goes [17:08] wow, where is that at? [17:09] +1 [17:09] I need one [17:09] I could use another [17:09] , and the price [17:09] www.crunchgear.com/.../pogoplug-drops-the-cable-and-the-price/ - CachedAug 17, 2010 – I'm a big fan of PogoPlug devices. They're super simple to use, and they're pretty regularly updated with new features based on customer ... [17:09] Ah fucking windows [17:09] FUCK this shit [17:09] fucking selects a website and barfs it into mintty [17:10] that's not that cheap [17:10] I got my original version (pink) pogo plug for $60... [17:11] they must be pushing their newer one... [17:11] oh shit [17:11] I think I know what I can do... [17:11] ah, it is a canadian company (am talking to hypatia), though I might be able to talk her into a bulk order if necessary :) [17:11] arduino cluster [17:12] oh, if anyone has ideas for a SUPER SUPER beginner arduino project that doesn't require a lot of money in parts and other bits, I have an adruino sitting in my desk drawer with no idea where to start [17:12] Cheri703: I have tons of code! [17:12] OR if anyone has some of the "other bits" they want to donate to the cause, I'd be open to that too :) [17:12] Cheri703: all you need is a USB cable and it will play with the onboard LED [17:12] ok [17:13] Cheri703: https://gist.github.com/646396 [17:13] Cheri703: super simple, easy to learn, well documented [17:13] playing with arduino will go on list of things to get to...have a lot of stuff I have been putting off and am finally getting to some of it [17:14] Cheri703: arduinos rule [17:15] Oh fuck, nevermind [17:15] I can do my project I never finished! [17:15] the relay CPU [17:15] rather, ALU [17:15] rather, full 8 bit adder [17:15] paultag: I've been reading more about the infosec stuff, and while I haven't actually learned to DO anything yet, I'm finding it fascinating [17:15] :) [17:16] Cheri703: :) [17:16] I do also want to get back to my "take things apart and put them back together differently" roots, so getting into "hardhacks" and the like is on my list as well :) [17:16] Cheri703: truth === jrg is now known as jrgifford [23:45] hi gang
