[03:29] <jeffschuler> paultag: howdy
[03:38] <paultag> hey jeffschuler, what's up, bud?
[03:38] <jeffschuler> nada. been awhile.
[03:38] <paultag> yessir, sure has
[03:38] <paultag> jeffschuler: what's new?
[03:39] <jeffschuler> just setting up an Ubuntu AMI to get OpenTreeMap stack running  and figured I'd drop in here expecting to have questions
[03:39] <jeffschuler> what's up with you?
[03:39] <paultag> hahaha
[03:39] <paultag> I'm setting up an Ubuntu AMI to do Debian builds
[03:39] <paultag> or rather, trying, I don't know jack about this
[03:39] <paultag> I'm a Linode man, myself
[03:40] <jeffschuler> likewise
[03:40] <jeffschuler> but seems easier to make a throwaway instance.  we'll see.
[03:40] <paultag> yeah, totally
[03:40] <paultag> I'm trying to set this up to kick up 4 or 5 dirty machines to crunch some code once in a while and just shut down
[03:40] <paultag> see if I can use some context-manager voodoo
[03:41] <jeffschuler> that's awesome. and why not use debian to use debian?
[03:41] <jeffschuler> ^-- build
[03:41] <paultag> jeffschuler: we don't have a real AMI, and the images are by non-DDs :)
[03:41] <paultag> if I get into this, I'll see about doing that, but for now, I'll just use an Ubuntu image to host some Debian chroots
[03:41] <paultag> on an EBS or something
[03:42] <paultag> tmpfs overlay onto the image or something. I don't know, I'm totally outa my element :)
[03:42] <jeffschuler> mine too.
[03:42] <jeffschuler> :)
[03:42] <paultag> :)
[03:42] <jeffschuler> ultimate goal being...
[03:42] <paultag> for me?
[03:43] <jeffschuler> ya
[03:43] <paultag> when I sponsor packages, I'd like to have them built a few different ways, and have some deeps-source linting, so I know the basic quirks before I get into it
[03:43] <paultag> and eventually, I can provide the setup to other DDs with less-powerful machines for testing
[03:44] <paultag> something like 300 build-hours will run me like 24 bucks
[03:45] <paultag> (and free for the first year!)
[03:45] <jeffschuler> wild. do a lot of folks have similar setups?
[03:45] <canthus13> paultag: 24 bucks for spartaaaaaa???
[03:45] <canthus13> sorry.
[03:45] <paultag> canthus13: spartaaaaaaaaaa!
[03:45]  * canthus13 is in an odd mood. :)
[03:45] <paultag> jeffschuler: nah, most people just have a few chroots on their dev box
[03:46] <jeffschuler> wimps
[03:46] <paultag> jeffschuler: i've got 9 on this lappy, but it's just a pain to manage, and I always worry about tainting chroots
[03:46] <jeffschuler> ;)
[03:46] <paultag> yeah, totally :)
[03:46] <paultag> jeffschuler: I have a basic test working with a machine in my room @ http://debuild.me/
[03:46] <paultag> works so far
[03:46] <paultag> (debuild being a tool to build debian packages)
[03:47] <paultag> but I'd much rather use AWS
[03:49] <jeffschuler> paultag: well, keep being hardcore. ttyl for now
[03:49] <paultag> jeffschuler: roger. Folks in here are friendly, feel free to idle
[03:49] <paultag> jeffschuler: f/oss 4 lyfe, dude.
[03:50] <paultag> canthus13: what's up? :)
[03:50] <paultag> canthus13: challah back
[03:50] <paultag> gurl
[03:50] <canthus13> Not much. :)
[03:51] <paultag> alright, let's try to kick up a machine
[03:52] <canthus13> ?
[03:52] <paultag> aws
[03:52] <canthus13> ah.
[03:52] <paultag> via python
[03:52] <canthus13> cool.
[03:53]  * canthus13 is trying to motivate himself to migrate his web and mail servers over to the old compaq server he recently acquired.
[03:54] <paultag> badass
[03:56] <canthus13> Heh. old.. and LOUD. my basement sounds like an airport runway.
[04:01] <paultag> canthus13: hahaha
[04:02] <canthus13> paultag: It's an old DL380 G3.
[04:03] <paultag> that thing looks huge
[04:03] <canthus13> It's 2U.
[04:04] <paultag> ah, not so bad
[04:04] <canthus13> 6 18.1GB SCSI drives, 5 of them in a RAID5 configuration.
[04:04] <canthus13> I will NEVER have debian 'erase' each partition again...
[04:05]  * canthus13 gave up and started over after 4 hours on the 46GB partition... and it was like 10% complete.
[04:07] <paultag> Woo! Got python to start and shut down an AWS instance
[04:08] <canthus13> cool. :)
[04:13]  * canthus13 got to learn all about PXE booting due to that stupid server. :/
[04:13] <paultag> PXE sucks
[04:13] <paultag> it's great
[04:13] <paultag> but it sucks
[04:13] <canthus13> Yeah, but I had no blank CDs and that old machine won't boot from USB. :/
[04:14] <paultag> swag!

[04:14] <paultag> huzzah!
[04:14] <canthus13> ...you use a class A etwork?
[04:14] <canthus13> Oh.
[04:14] <canthus13> amazon. NM. :)
[04:15] <paultag> :)
[04:15] <paultag> I may have just found my buildbots.
[04:15] <canthus13> Cool.
[04:16] <paultag> alright, I'm out for the night
[04:16] <paultag> one love
[04:22] <canthus13> Later.
[14:48] <thafreak> canthus13: how much them servers cost you?
[14:49] <thafreak> FYI anyone interested in rackmount servers, I recently saw these on some one's g+
[14:49] <thafreak> http://www.stikc.com/Catalog/Data-Center-Cluster-Servers
[14:49] <thafreak> <$300 for a dual quad core xeon box w/4Gb ram
[14:50] <thafreak> and 2 500gb sata drives
[14:50] <thafreak> sadly, I paid about 5K for my dual dual core xeon box with 4gb of ram
[14:50] <thafreak> :(
[14:51] <thafreak> er, I'm STILL paying for it :/
[14:51] <thafreak> but I wanted to do external storage services...never got very far, then the following year, amazon pulls S3 and AWS outta no where
[14:52] <thafreak> bad business decisison on my part.
[16:40] <paultag> heyya jeffschuler, welcome back :)
[16:40] <jeffschuler> hey there paultag
[17:23] <canthus13> thafreak: too much, really... about 200 for both.
[17:53] <canthus13> HAHAHA! http://www.explosm.net/comics/2650/
[17:53] <canthus13> (surprisingly SFW)
[18:14] <dzho> ah, L5420
[18:14]  * dzho hates it when someone just says "xeon" like that's supposed to be impressive
