[01:55] <Unit193> Cheri703: Talked to someone for a short time sat that lives somewhere around here using Ubuntu.
[01:55] <Cheri703> \o/
[01:56] <Cheri703> we need to plan another ubuntu hour :)
[15:05] <thafreak> Anyone know anything about cpu temperatures?
[15:05] <thafreak> I have a 6 core amd phenom constantly peaking above 60c
[15:06] <thafreak> and the mb alarm keeps going off...
[15:06] <thafreak> is that so hot it will damage the machine, or is it ok
[15:06] <thafreak> I just have the stock cooler on there...been thinking I should grab beefier cooler
[15:19] <andygraybeal_> i can't help you much but  my shit hangs around 30-37
[15:21] <andygraybeal_> imma go get some brunch
[15:22] <thafreak> yikes...
[15:23] <thafreak> don't want it to melt....
[15:23] <thafreak> guess i need a beastly cooler
[15:23] <thafreak> Also, FYI, I probably said this before, but aria2==badass
[15:23] <thafreak> it's like wget on roids
[15:24] <thafreak> can download the same file from a bunch of http/ftp urls at the same time...kind of like a torrent
[15:24] <thafreak> and it supports checksumming the final download to make sure it's ok
[15:24] <thafreak> oh, and it can also act as a torrent client too
[15:29] <canthus13> nice.
[16:31] <thafreak> finally ordered my pelican case, and some protective hard drive cases
[16:31] <paultag> dude
[16:31] <paultag> that's awesome
[16:31] <paultag> canthus13: the game
[16:31] <thafreak> opted to go with bare hard drives plugged into an external sata->usb thing
[16:31] <paultag> thafreak: I want one to build a portable debian hackstation
[16:32] <thafreak> ha
[16:32] <paultag> raspi + externals + wifi router
[16:32] <thafreak> i got it for backups
[16:32] <paultag> host a full mirror on there
[16:32] <paultag> buildd nodes, small cluser perhaps
[16:32] <thafreak> pelican cases aren't too pricey
[16:32] <paultag> interesting.
[16:32] <thafreak> i got a decent size one for $40
[16:32] <paultag> hackable?
[16:33] <thafreak> dunno...airtight, watertight
[16:33] <thafreak> un-crushable
[16:33] <thafreak> the one I got is full of foam cubes that you can arrange to fit whatever
[16:34] <thafreak> i'm hoping to fit hard almost 6 bare hard drives...
[16:34] <paultag> I would love to make one a hack-in-a-box
[16:34] <thafreak> I wonder what the failure rate of bare hard drives is compared to tapes
[16:35] <thafreak> paultag: don't see why you couldn't...if you have sufficient power
[16:35] <paultag> are there "glands" I can put wires through and keep it watertight?
[16:36] <thafreak> probably could rig a li-ion laptop battery up to power everything for a while
[16:36] <thafreak> nah
[16:36] <thafreak> it's all solid
[16:36] <thafreak> why would you put wires through?
[16:36] <paultag> power strip
[16:36] <thafreak> put a decen battery inside, and you're self contained
[16:36] <paultag> mmm
[16:36] <thafreak> rasppi's are only 5w
[16:36] <paultag> true
[16:37] <thafreak> could power a bunch for hours off of an old laptop battery
[16:37] <thafreak> rig multiple batteries for extra win
[16:38] <thafreak> or i'm sure there are specialty battery stores
[16:38] <thafreak> actually, I know there are
[16:38] <paultag> not a bad idea
[16:38] <thafreak> OR, even just build a battery pack out of lantern batteries
[16:39] <thafreak> those are 6v...but I'm sure there are some instructables
[16:39] <paultag> yah, but that gets pricy
[16:39] <thafreak> lantern batteries are maybe $9
[16:40] <thafreak> unless you mean the capacitors and resistors, etc you'd need to step the voltage down
[16:40] <paultag> also a wireless AP
[16:45] <thafreak> boom
[16:45] <thafreak> 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] <paultag> … swag
[16:45] <thafreak> they powered a headless pi, with a wifi dongle for like 6 hours with that
[16:45] <thafreak> it's $60 though
[16:49] <thafreak> actually, it seems any of the portable phone re-charging things would work too

[16:53] <thafreak> there...get busy wiring paultag
[16:53] <paultag> :)
[16:53] <paultag> thafreak: I need to find a way to do some crazy stuff first.
[16:53] <paultag> 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] <paultag> and find a way to give it internet along with the hackinabox
[16:54] <paultag> (which involves not doing DHCP when DHCP is running upstream)
