[02:21] <thafreak> Cheri703: define server...is it file server (nfs or something) or web sever?
[02:21] <Cheri703> file server
[02:21] <Cheri703> local computer
[02:21] <thafreak> if it's a webserver, there's something called ampache
[02:22] <thafreak> try mt-daap...i think thats what its called
[02:22] <thafreak> reverse engineer of the streaming protocol itunes uses
[02:22] <Cheri703> hmm...k
[02:22] <thafreak> most linux muic players support it
[02:24] <thafreak> looks like it's called forked-daapd in precise
[02:24] <thafreak> i've heard its real easy...i think you point it at a dir with songs and thats about it...
[02:24] <Cheri703> very nice
[02:25] <thafreak> i'm still working on getting all my music centralized...so i haven't used it myself
[02:25] <thafreak> yet
[02:28] <thafreak> so paultag, hows this git annex...i keep reading about it, but haven't started trying it out yet
[02:29] <thafreak> i also stumbled upon bup (mentioned on the git annex site), which seemed very interesting
[02:32] <paultag> thafreak: it's cool :)
[02:35] <thafreak> gimme a quick example of what you do with it...
[02:36] <thafreak> i use unison to keep a common dir in sync between a bunch of machines
[02:36] <thafreak> could git annex possibly do a better job?
[02:40] <paultag> it's like Dropbox
[02:40] <paultag> well
[02:40] <paultag> the project is
[02:40] <paultag> but it can do it offline
[02:40] <paultag> and ad-hoc
[02:41] <paultag> so plug a USB key in, sync to that, plug that into another computer
[02:41] <paultag> sync to that
[02:41] <paultag> which syncs to a server
[02:46] <dzho> oh, man, I'd forgotten about the par2 stuff
[02:47] <thafreak> par2 is cool
[02:58] <dzho> do people every make par2 files for their par2 files
[02:58] <dzho> ?
[03:04] <thafreak> probably someone
[03:07] <thafreak> so most of my machines idle with a load average of 0...
[03:08] <thafreak> now I'm looking at setting up salt stack again
[03:09] <thafreak> last time, I noticed when my "minions" were running, those machines never idled below 0.03
[03:09] <thafreak> or maybe it was more, I forget now
[03:09] <thafreak> so I'm trying a newer version out now hoping they made it perform a bit better
[03:09] <thafreak> but the minion is still idling at 0.01 at the best
[03:10] <thafreak> you guys think that's acceptable for the benefits of remote control and config management?
[04:12] <canthus13> .03 idle? That's not too bad IMO.
[04:12] <canthus13> I mean, 3 hundredths of a task waiting at any given point?
[04:13] <canthus13> ...and somewhat high load isn't necessarily bad.
[04:13]  * canthus13 has had his machine perform like a dog at .5 load, and seen his server at one point running smooth as silk with a constant 6.0 load.
[04:14] <canthus13> most of the time, though, it sits at 0 load.
[05:32] <thafreak> well, this latest version of salt definately seems to be an improvement over the one I tested previously...
[05:32] <thafreak> and it seems to hang more around 0.1
[05:32] <thafreak> I guess that's acceptable
[14:11] <canthus13> "This happened right around the time you made those email changes..." -- from someone who was banned from xbox live two days after we switched mail providers.
[14:17] <thafreak> interesting
[15:59] <thafreak> i know there are some kde lovers here
[16:00] <thafreak> in the past, I've always found that qt apps look fine in every desktop env, but gtk/gnome apps look like crap on kde and well most other DE's
[16:00] <thafreak> i've found running gnome-settings-daemon helps that...
[16:01] <thafreak> Do the current kde distros take care of that for you these days?
[16:04] <thafreak> also, so glad the rat bastard turncoats that are Nokia, have sold Qt to someone who is all about keeping OSS going
[16:04] <thafreak> and also glad that they probably lost sh*t tons of money in the process...
[16:04] <thafreak> serves them right ditching openmoko and going windows mobile
[16:35]  * canthus13 <- KDE hater.
[17:16] <Unit193> canthus13: Lovely person! I bet they just saw his new email and hated it!
[17:20] <canthus13> Unit193: heh. the only change was our hosting service.. addresses remained the same.
[21:20] <Unit193> http://fridge.ubuntu.com/2012/08/10/community-site-downtime-announcement/ Sure everyone sees before I do, but...
[21:29] <dzho> pick a cross-London move date on the last weekend of the Olympics
[21:29] <dzho> wtg, Canonical.
[21:29] <dzho> I bet that's going to be *fun*
