[02:49] <thafreak> canthus13: I've failed to find an example of this "turncoat" facial hair configuration you spoke of
[02:50] <canthus13> thafreak: Fine. traitor. :P
[02:57] <thafreak> huh?
[02:57] <thafreak> I'm confused
[02:57] <thafreak> are you calling me a turncoat/traitor for shaving?
[03:01] <canthus13> thafreak: yep.
[03:01] <canthus13> Admittedly, it's rather itchy to not shave. :P
[23:03] <thafreak> well, pulled the trigger on some new parts to build a dedicated freenas box
[23:04] <thafreak> got one of those amd e450 embedded boards...seems to pull like 30-45w under max load...
[23:05] <thafreak> plus, mb+cpu combined is less than the cost of just an i3...
[23:08] <thafreak> tbh, i'm actually just glad to be done spending hours every day on new egg comparing motherboards....
[23:08] <thafreak> when i get an idea...i can waste days...
[23:13] <andygraybeal_> thafreak, for home use?
[23:18] <thafreak> yessir
[23:18] <andygraybeal_> nice
[23:18] <thafreak> got mb+cpu combo and 8gb of ram for ~$150
[23:18] <thafreak> drives, well, that's another story...
[23:19] <thafreak> i was originally going to build a dedicated nas/san box, and a virtualization host...but then decided to just combine the two
[23:19] <thafreak> and run the nas as a VM
[23:19] <thafreak> but now I'm second guessing that choice...
[23:20] <andygraybeal_> okay
[23:21] <andygraybeal_> yea, sounds exciting ... will it need a fan?
[23:30] <thafreak> I'll have fans...putting it in a normal size case, since I already have one of those
[23:30] <thafreak> the cpu doesn't NEED a fan though...
[23:37] <andygraybeal_> ah cool
[23:38] <andygraybeal_> yea, i've don't have any money for anything right now, but i will soon and i like to keep my ears out for this sort of thing
[23:38] <andygraybeal_> it might sound dumb but i'd like ot get used to using 'nas' sort of things .. and i've read about freenas and i love bsd.
[23:38] <andygraybeal_> because at home, my concern is power usage and noise
[23:39] <andygraybeal_> but i also want redundancy and it's such an oxymoron :)
[23:39] <andygraybeal_> or not oxymoron i guess. but ... like two opposites
[23:39] <andygraybeal_> having cake and eating it
