[01:55] Cheri703: Talked to someone for a short time sat that lives somewhere around here using Ubuntu. [01:55] \o/ [01:56] we need to plan another ubuntu hour :) [15:05] Anyone know anything about cpu temperatures? [15:05] I have a 6 core amd phenom constantly peaking above 60c [15:06] and the mb alarm keeps going off... [15:06] is that so hot it will damage the machine, or is it ok [15:06] I just have the stock cooler on there...been thinking I should grab beefier cooler [15:19] i can't help you much but my shit hangs around 30-37 [15:21] imma go get some brunch [15:22] yikes... [15:23] don't want it to melt.... [15:23] guess i need a beastly cooler [15:23] Also, FYI, I probably said this before, but aria2==badass [15:23] it's like wget on roids [15:24] can download the same file from a bunch of http/ftp urls at the same time...kind of like a torrent [15:24] and it supports checksumming the final download to make sure it's ok [15:24] oh, and it can also act as a torrent client too [15:29] nice. [16:31] finally ordered my pelican case, and some protective hard drive cases [16:31] dude [16:31] that's awesome [16:31] canthus13: the game [16:31] opted to go with bare hard drives plugged into an external sata->usb thing [16:31] thafreak: I want one to build a portable debian hackstation [16:32] ha [16:32] raspi + externals + wifi router [16:32] i got it for backups [16:32] host a full mirror on there [16:32] buildd nodes, small cluser perhaps [16:32] pelican cases aren't too pricey [16:32] interesting. [16:32] i got a decent size one for $40 [16:32] hackable? [16:33] dunno...airtight, watertight [16:33] un-crushable [16:33] the one I got is full of foam cubes that you can arrange to fit whatever [16:34] i'm hoping to fit hard almost 6 bare hard drives... [16:34] I would love to make one a hack-in-a-box [16:34] I wonder what the failure rate of bare hard drives is compared to tapes [16:35] paultag: don't see why you couldn't...if you have sufficient power [16:35] are there "glands" I can put wires through and keep it watertight? [16:36] probably could rig a li-ion laptop battery up to power everything for a while [16:36] nah [16:36] it's all solid [16:36] why would you put wires through? [16:36] power strip [16:36] put a decen battery inside, and you're self contained [16:36] mmm [16:36] rasppi's are only 5w [16:36] true [16:37] could power a bunch for hours off of an old laptop battery [16:37] rig multiple batteries for extra win [16:38] or i'm sure there are specialty battery stores [16:38] actually, I know there are [16:38] not a bad idea [16:38] OR, even just build a battery pack out of lantern batteries [16:39] those are 6v...but I'm sure there are some instructables [16:39] yah, but that gets pricy [16:39] lantern batteries are maybe $9 [16:40] unless you mean the capacitors and resistors, etc you'd need to step the voltage down [16:40] also a wireless AP [16:45] boom [16:45] http://www.adafruit.com/blog/2012/08/17/new-product-usb-battery-pack-for-raspberry-pi-3300mah-5v-1a-and-500ma-piday-raspberrypi-raspberry_pi/ [16:45] … swag [16:45] they powered a headless pi, with a wifi dongle for like 6 hours with that [16:45] it's $60 though [16:49] actually, it seems any of the portable phone re-charging things would work too [16:49] http://www.amazon.com/PowerGen-External-Blackberry-Sensation-Thunderbolt/dp/B005VBNYDS/ [16:52] http://www.rpiforum.net/forum/tutorials/article/17-how-to-portably-power-your-raspberry-pi-with-a-battery/ [16:53] there...get busy wiring paultag [16:53] :) [16:53] thafreak: I need to find a way to do some crazy stuff first. [16:53] e.g. set up a new A record for ftp.us.d.o and make that force use of the raspi mirror when behind the LAN (or use mirror://) [16:54] and find a way to give it internet along with the hackinabox [16:54] (which involves not doing DHCP when DHCP is running upstream)
