| MutantTurkey | yeah | 14:49 |
| MutantTurkey | interesting | 14:49 |
| MutantTurkey | they've really stopped caring about anything but unity | 14:50 |
| jedijf | caring and underwriting are exclusive | 14:50 |
| MutantTurkey | why does lwn still have that terrible layout though? | 14:51 |
| MutantTurkey | i wish they'd choose something saner | 14:51 |
| MutantTurkey | I like the minimalism. I don't like the layout | 14:51 |
| jedijf | i wish i read it more | 14:52 |
| MutantTurkey | it's rather good | 14:52 |
| MutantTurkey | I need to get a subscription | 14:52 |

| MutantTurkey | jedijf: new 3.0.20 kernel can "According to Matthew Garrett, who developed the patch, the change can reduce the power consumption of a Thinkpad X220 by 5 watts. " | 15:01 |
| MutantTurkey | how'd they know I wanted that so badly? | 15:02 |
| MutantTurkey | on my natty install I could get down to 8-9 watts. | 15:02 |
| MutantTurkey | now i'm at like 15/16 | 15:02 |
| MutantTurkey | its mostly this crappy realtek driver | 15:05 |
| MutantTurkey | no powersaving on it yet | 15:05 |
| jedijf | that's a young persons game; my era is more power | 15:22 |
| MutantTurkey | lol | 15:30 |
| MutantTurkey | I am loooking into getting a opteron build server going | 15:31 |
| EvilResistance | MutantTurkey, i'm running PennBot, but I also had an explodified python lib set, so its on a fractured system atm | 15:31 |
| EvilResistance | unless any of you has an additional 55MB RAM you can lend me on a VPS or a server... :P | 15:32 |
| MutantTurkey | EvilResistance: let me check | 15:33 |
| MutantTurkey | nope | 15:33 |
| MutantTurkey | 55mb | 15:33 |
| MutantTurkey | holy crap | 15:33 |
| EvilResistance | thats what its using actively right now | 15:33 |
| EvilResistance | (i should point out its in 3 channels, excluding its reporting channel) | 15:34 |
| JonathanD | This is gonna be a bad day. | 15:34 |
| * EvilResistance SSH's to the box and digs around in the system | 15:34 | |
| MutantTurkey | why JonathanD | 15:34 |
| JonathanD | remote server hosted with crappy provider is down. | 15:34 |
| JonathanD | won't reboot, won't come back up. | 15:34 |
| EvilResistance | hmm... | 15:37 |
| EvilResistance | MutantTurkey, i've loaded the URL plugin, but it seems to not work | 15:37 |
| EvilResistance | i'll have to dig around further to find out why | 15:38 |
| MutantTurkey | huh | 15:38 |
| MutantTurkey | http://google.com | 15:38 |
| EvilResistance | MutantTurkey, the "title snarfer" config option doesnt show up, so i'm digging around for the configs | 15:39 |

| EvilResistance | MutantTurkey, want to guess why it wasnt working? | 15:44 |
| EvilResistance | :P | 15:44 |
| MutantTurkey | why? | 15:44 |
| EvilResistance | because they have two plugins that do the same thing and no difference in description between the two... | 15:45 |
| EvilResistance | but it doesnt correctly run in one of the plugins :P | 15:45 |
| jedijf | http://www.lameexcuseplugin.com | 15:47 |
| MutantTurkey | lamalex... | 15:47 |
| MutantTurkey | plugin.dotcom | 15:47 |
| EvilResistance | wtfh... | 15:48 |
| * EvilResistance beats the system | 15:48 | |
| EvilResistance | that returned an error jedijf | 15:48 |
| adom | any chance anyone here has used Facebook chat with Pidgin? | 15:50 |
| EvilResistance | adom, a while ago, then they changed their API and things exploded | 15:51 |
| MutantTurkey | adom: yes | 15:53 |
| MutantTurkey | I thought it was just XMPP? | 15:53 |
| MutantTurkey | it works fairly well for me | 15:53 |
| MutantTurkey | or did | 15:53 |
| adom | yeah its xmpp but its not working for me | 15:53 |
| adom | keeps saying "Not authorized" | 15:53 |
| adom | i even tried the Facebook plugin for Pidgin which keeps saying Incorrect username or password | 15:53 |
| adom | but i use the exact same user/pass tologin to the site | 15:53 |
| * EvilResistance points at his last statement which points out Facebook changed their API and things broke | 15:54 | |
| adom | so using facebook chat via pidgin no longer works? | 15:54 |
| EvilResistance | i cant get it to work with Empathy either, so... | 15:55 |
| EvilResistance | and fwiw i dont really use facebook anymore so... :p | 15:55 |
| adom | i use FB all the time to communicate with friends/family | 16:00 |
| adom | just want to close the web page and just have chat available | 16:01 |
| MutantTurkey | huh | 16:01 |
| MutantTurkey | use facebook's chat in it's own window | 16:02 |
| MutantTurkey | thats nice | 16:02 |
| jedijf | i stopped using it on bitlbee to avoid people | 16:02 |
| adom | MutantTurkey: dont think you can do that anymore | 16:02 |
| jedijf | so use bitlbee | 16:02 |
| adom | hmm | 16:02 |
| MutantTurkey | huh | 16:02 |
| MutantTurkey | bitlbee is just as bad | 16:03 |
| MutantTurkey | isn't itbased on libpurple? | 16:03 |
| adom | whatever works ill try at this point | 16:03 |
| adom | assuming its not insecure | 16:03 |
| adom | er....unsecure? | 16:03 |
| adom | not secure | 16:03 |
| jedijf | it's facebook | 16:03 |
| adom | if its that, i dont like it | 16:03 |
| jedijf | food or work | 16:04 |
| === paulproteus_ is now known as paulproteus | ||
| adom | i got facebook chat to work via xmpp in pidgin. but now im second guessing pidgin as my im client. i dont think i can turn off the Snort updates of people logging in and out of facebook and its really annoying. | 17:33 |
| adom | most im clients let you customize notifications, but i cant find anything in pidgin that does. | 17:33 |
| adom | debating giving the bitlbee train a ride... | 17:35 |
| adom | can somoene give me a quick one line explanation of how it works? | 17:35 |
| adom | my guess is that bitlbee is a server that runs locally [or remotely?] and irssi has a plugin that connects to the bitlbee server? | 17:35 |
| adom | also accepting linux im client recommendations | 17:36 |
| ChinnoDog | bitlbee is an IM client | 17:52 |
| ChinnoDog | there isn't a one line explanation but there is a nice page pleia2 created about getting started with bitlbee | 17:53 |
| ChinnoDog | http://princessleia.com/bitlbee.php | 17:54 |
| PennBot | Title: PrincessLeia.com - Bitlbee Quickstart Guide (Online Edition) & Notes (at princessleia.com) | 17:54 |
| adom | i thought bitlbee was a server that you view with an irc client | 17:54 |
| ChinnoDog | It is an IM client that runs as an IRC server | 17:54 |
| adom | wow princessleia.com, impressive | 17:55 |
| ChinnoDog | pleia2 is impressive | 17:55 |
| InHisName | any of you using musicbrainz ? | 18:54 |
| MobileTurkey | bleck | 18:56 |
| adom | InHisName: i think ive used the Picard thingy before for automatic MP3 tagging | 19:31 |
| adom | wth...since when is CentOS a desktop distro? | 20:23 |
| adom | coworker installed it on a box thinking of tossing up a quick LAMP server...upon restart we were presented gnome2 desktop interface | 20:24 |
| adom | ive only ever known CentOS as a server OS | 20:24 |
| ChinnoDog | I think I am going to transplant my computer into an old case | 20:54 |
| JonathanD | I need a case for mine. | 20:55 |
| JonathanD | I have a semi-decent gaming rig in a piece of bent aluminum. | 20:55 |
| ChinnoDog | lol | 20:55 |
| JonathanD | It used to be a case, probably even a good one. | 20:56 |
| JonathanD | But the side is missing pieces, all the drive bays up front are missing the fillers, and it just looks like crap | 20:56 |
| ChinnoDog | Well, I have this Antec Sonata case that is heavy duty and quiet despite its many fans but the motherboard is ancient and it needs a new power supply because the one it has does not have thermal controls. (I replaced it and was too cheap... oops) | 20:56 |
| ChinnoDog | And the power supply in the current case I think is what is making obnoxious noises | 20:56 |
| ChinnoDog | So I will need a new power supply too | 20:56 |
| ChinnoDog | You could potentially have my old case | 20:57 |
| JonathanD | I have a good PSU. | 20:57 |
| ChinnoDog | There is nothing wrong with it aside from poor noise dampening ability for my many fans and hard drives | 20:57 |
| JonathanD | well | 20:57 |
| JonathanD | ok | 20:57 |
| JonathanD | it's mostly good | 20:57 |
| JonathanD | The fan doesn't work | 20:57 |
| ChinnoDog | haha. That is mostly good? | 20:58 |
| JonathanD | so I shoved another one in and wired it to the HDD power supply | 20:58 |
| ChinnoDog | I need to stop buying things with fans | 20:58 |
| JonathanD | The previous power supply made my HDD catch on fire, so I took it out. | 20:58 |
| ChinnoDog | When I am done the Sonata will be sporting 5-8 hard drives, two 120mm fans, CPU fan, graphics card fan, power supply fan | 20:59 |
| JonathanD | Too many fans. | 20:59 |
| ChinnoDog | That is a good reason to remove it. lol | 20:59 |
| JonathanD | I thought so. | 20:59 |
| JonathanD | Yet... I kept it. | 20:59 |
| ChinnoDog | When I had a quiet PSU the whole system was quiet. It was amazing | 20:59 |
| JonathanD | Logic would dicate it should be thrown away. | 20:59 |
| JonathanD | But maybe I can use it still! | 20:59 |
| ChinnoDog | Antec Sonata is very well built | 20:59 |
| JonathanD | The current PSU is an antec something. | 21:00 |
| JonathanD | I think. | 21:00 |
| ChinnoDog | :-\ | 21:00 |
| ChinnoDog | But, flaming hard drives are bad | 21:00 |
| JonathanD | ChinnoDog: not the burning one. | 21:00 |
| JonathanD | the burning one, I took out. | 21:00 |
| JonathanD | one of the HDD power connectors was sort of smushed. | 21:00 |
| JonathanD | so it shorted. | 21:00 |
| JonathanD | and melted the plastic right off the drive. | 21:01 |
| ChinnoDog | oops | 21:01 |
| JonathanD | the drive still works if you shove some paper or something in the socket so the leads make contact. | 21:01 |
| JonathanD | But I opted to replace that, too :) | 21:01 |
| JonathanD | I have a nifty little 10,000rpm SATA disk in it now, instead. | 21:01 |
| ChinnoDog | I need a hot swap cage so I can add all my hard drives | 21:02 |
| JonathanD | I only game on this machine. | 21:02 |
| JonathanD | Only one disk. All my storage is on NAS. | 21:02 |
| JonathanD | http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136322 is the disk, I got one for free. | 21:02 |

| JonathanD | it's only 300GB though. | 21:02 |
| ChinnoDog | "free"? | 21:03 |
| JonathanD | yes | 21:03 |
| JonathanD | My boss gives me his "old" stuff. | 21:03 |
| ChinnoDog | sweet | 21:03 |
| JonathanD | Thats also how I got the NAS, actually. | 21:03 |
| waltman | And the holodeck | 21:03 |
| JonathanD | only some of it | 21:04 |
| JonathanD | and one of these babys... http://www.dexternights.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/lenovo-thinkpad-x200-tablet_4a2.jpg | 21:04 |
| waltman | This means that JonathanD's boss must have a really kick-ass holodeck in HIS basement. | 21:05 |

| ChinnoDog | I like it. Trayless, supports SATA 1-3 and SAS 1 and 2 | 21:13 |
| ChinnoDog | What do you call the connector on a power supply that you plug your fans into so that it can regulate the fan speed? | 21:20 |
| ChinnoDog | I'm tempted to get a fanless power supply and get a thermocouple controlled rear 120mm fan with a pass-through connector for the forward fan | 21:24 |
| adom | you mean the molex connectors? or the 3-4 pin headers on your motherboard? | 21:24 |
| ChinnoDog | I mean on the PSU specs. some of them control additional internal fans for you, some of them don't | 21:24 |
| ChinnoDog | I forget what type of connectors they have. i will have to look | 21:24 |
| adom | ive never been much of a fan speed control person | 21:24 |
| adom | just let the bios handle it | 21:25 |
| adom | never had an overheating issue with decent ventilation | 21:25 |
| adom | i take that back | 21:26 |
| adom | back in the day i used to run dual SLi video cards in my dad's dusty basement. one day i started getting visual errors, like bright lines streaking across the screen. then the PC just stopped turning on. | 21:26 |
| adom | took out the video cards and both had seeping capacitors | 21:27 |
| adom | so, besides that, ive never had an overheating issue | 21:27 |
| * adom blushes. | 21:27 | |
| adom | i need to start keeping track of my away status | 21:28 |
| * adom waves bye. | 21:28 | |
| ChinnoDog | seeping capacitors was a production problem | 21:29 |
| ChinnoDog | It affected all computers made with them. I think that era lasted about a year and a half. | 21:29 |
| ChinnoDog | It was too big to recall | 21:29 |
| ChinnoDog | looks like the rear fan has molex connector only. It came with the case. Forward hard drive fan has 3 pin connector that splits into a molex pass-through for power and a single wire 3 pin connector so it can be controlled by the motherboard | 21:50 |
| ChinnoDog | I made a huge mess on my floor. Computer parts everywhere | 22:32 |
| MutantTurkey | who wanted that kernel 3.2 source? | 23:03 |
| MutantTurkey | francisbrwn9/kernels/ubuntu/ | 23:03 |
| MutantTurkey | from PPA | 23:03 |
| MutantTurkey | erstazi: was that you?\ | 23:04 |
| ChinnoDog | Sure, I move the computer so I can verify what is making the noise and now it won't do it | 23:39 |
| ChinnoDog | after I went through all the work to hollow out another case for it | 23:39 |
| MutantTurkey | woop woop | 23:40 |
| ChinnoDog | ... it did it, and I fixed it. It was the GPU fan | 23:45 |
| ChinnoDog | I take it back. It isn't fixed, but it is the GPU fan. hmm | 23:48 |
| ChinnoDog | pleia2 knows all about having too many fans | 23:48 |
