| philipballew | pleia2, got a minute for a pm? | 02:12 |
|---|---|---|

| Torikun | oi | 02:32 |
| philipballew | Torikun, 0/ | 02:38 |
| Torikun | http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/02/07/home_lab_career_saver/ | 02:38 |
| darthrobot | Title: [Why you need a home lab to keep your job • The Register] | 02:38 |
| Torikun | So true lol | 02:38 |
| Torikun | Hi philipballew | 02:38 |
| pleia2 | "girlfriend impact"? seriously? is it 1960 again and someone forgot to tell me? :P | 02:39 |
| Torikun | lol | 02:39 |
| pleia2 | and really, this article is a bit silly with how ubiquitous virtualization is | 02:40 |
| Torikun | its good for training yourself | 02:40 |
| pleia2 | a beefy desktop can be a whole lab (mine is) | 02:40 |
| pleia2 | pro tip: kvm runs inside of kvm | 02:40 |
| Torikun | I use my raspberry pi;s and a laptop running a bunch of VM's | 02:40 |
| Torikun | nice | 02:40 |
| pleia2 | yeah, see? | 02:40 |
| Torikun | yeah use your old stuff | 02:40 |
| pleia2 | the article is talking about VMWare though, which does require beefy stuff :) | 02:41 |
| Torikun | http://linux-toys.com/?q=node/11 | 02:41 |
| Torikun | my lab lol | 02:41 |
| darthrobot | Title: [3 node Raspberry PI Nginx Cluster | Linux-toys.com] | 02:41 |
| Torikun | I tried vmware server and the web interface kept dying | 02:41 |
| pleia2 | that's adorable | 02:42 |
| pleia2 | I actually do have a fair number of computers | 02:42 |
| Torikun | use them all? | 02:43 |
| pleia2 | astonishingly yes | 02:43 |
| Torikun | lol for what | 02:43 |
| Torikun | i got 6 here at home | 02:43 |
| Torikun | 4 are PI's | 02:43 |
| pleia2 | well the 4 I used today... Ubuntu desktop (primary workstation), Debian desktop (secondary workstation, also does backups and monitoring), testing laptop currently running Ubuntu 12.04 with DevStack (but multi-boots into a bunch of Linuxs) and a Windows 7 laptop for accessing the corporate VPN+email | 02:43 |
| Torikun | ah | 02:44 |
| Torikun | what is devstack | 02:44 |
| pleia2 | then I have my netbook that goes out with me (fits in my purse), an old PPC macbook running lubuntu that I use for iso testing ppc lubuntu isos, a chromebook that I use for watching netflix and small tasks (sometimes take it on airplanes to watch movies due to awesome battery life) | 02:45 |
| Torikun | wow | 02:45 |
| pleia2 | a 2007 powerbook running OSX because "I probably should know how to use OSX" (my fiance also uses it for photo editing) | 02:45 |
| Torikun | wow what do you do for a living ? | 02:46 |
| pleia2 | oh, and a raspberry pi | 02:46 |
| Torikun | nice | 02:46 |
| pleia2 | my title is "Automation and Tools Engineer" | 02:46 |
| Torikun | develpment ? | 02:47 |
| pleia2 | but really I am paid by HP to work on the infrastructure for the openstack project | 02:47 |
| Torikun | I always wanted to get openstack working | 02:47 |
| Torikun | was hard | 02:47 |
| pleia2 | so infrastructure development and maintenance | 02:47 |
| Torikun | nice | 02:47 |
| pleia2 | which brings us to devstack! | 02:47 |
| pleia2 | devstack.org makes it easy to deploy an openstack with some reasonable defaults :) | 02:47 |
| pleia2 | install 12.04, run the setup script, you're golden | 02:48 |
| Torikun | centos 2 right? | 02:48 |
| pleia2 | ubuntu :) | 02:48 |
| Torikun | lol | 02:48 |
| Torikun | have oyu met meg whitman? | 02:49 |
| pleia2 | no :) | 02:50 |
| Torikun | you guys just stopped HpUX | 02:50 |
| pleia2 | I work from home, and the cubicle I have to use if I ever wanted to is at their engineering office in sunnyvale, not headquarters in palo alto | 02:50 |
| Torikun | oh | 02:51 |
| Torikun | lucky | 02:51 |
| Torikun | nice working from hom | 02:51 |
| pleia2 | it is pretty awesome :) | 02:51 |
| Torikun | i enjoy my 2 days a week lol | 02:52 |
| pleia2 | I worked from home at my last job (was a debian sysadmin for a small tech services provider) | 02:52 |
| Torikun | ah | 02:52 |
| Torikun | what do you use your pi for | 02:52 |
| pleia2 | nothing :( | 02:53 |
| pleia2 | it's currently got raspbian on it and runs irssi for no reason | 02:53 |
| Torikun | noteven ssh gateway? lol | 02:53 |
| Torikun | im loving openvpn on it | 02:53 |
| * pleia2 hrms and checks that it's plugged in | 02:54 | |
| pleia2 | nice, the ethernet cord got loose when I plugged in another ethernet cord to my switch the other day | 02:54 |
| Torikun | oh | 02:55 |
| R2Pi2 | :D | 02:55 |
| R2Pi2 | <--- useless pi | 02:55 |
| R2Pi2 | Linux raspberrypi 3.2.27+ #160 PREEMPT Mon Sep 17 23:18:42 BST 2012 armv6l GNU/Linux | 02:55 |
| Torikun | haha | 02:55 |
| Torikun | what distro is that | 02:56 |
| pleia2 | raspbian | 02:56 |
| pleia2 | so it's debian wheezy modified to work on the pi | 02:56 |
| Torikun | Yeah. | 02:56 |
| Torikun | I am using Arch on my 4 | 02:56 |
| Torikun | i hear it runs faster 2 | 02:57 |
| pleia2 | since I 1) like debian 2) don't actually use it... | 02:57 |
| pleia2 | :) | 02:57 |
| Torikun | having the pi made me really miss x86 | 02:57 |
| pleia2 | really? having the pi made me wish there were practical arm netbooks | 02:58 |
| Torikun | arm so slow | 02:58 |
| Torikun | the nexus 7 is quad core and slow | 02:58 |
| pleia2 | 700mhz processors are slow :) | 02:58 |
| Torikun | explain the nexus 7 lol | 02:59 |
| pleia2 | fair enough | 02:59 |
| Torikun | they are 1GHZ right? | 02:59 |
| pleia2 | I don't actually know :) | 02:59 |
| Torikun | I wish arm luck | 03:00 |
| Torikun | but it is nothing to x86 | 03:00 |
| pleia2 | it's low power and a lot of people are memory-bound rather than cpu-bound | 03:00 |
| Torikun | excepte for mobile devices | 03:00 |
| pleia2 | makes a lot of sense in that case | 03:00 |
| Torikun | Yeah | 03:00 |
| Torikun | not good for running a desktop/server | 03:00 |
| pleia2 | depends on what your server does :) | 03:00 |
| Torikun | low power server , sure | 03:01 |
| Torikun | web server , no | 03:01 |
| Torikun | dns email znc , hell yeah | 03:01 |
| pleia2 | most of my servers hardly use any cpu, just memory | 03:01 |
| Torikun | ah | 03:01 |
| pleia2 | philipballew: post meeting tasks? :) </nag> | 03:08 |
| * philipballew forgot once again and praises pleia2 for helping him remember. | 03:09 | |
| philipballew | Yes. I can do that tomorrow afternoon before I head out the the Ubuntu Hour? | 03:09 |
| pleia2 | sure | 03:10 |
| philipballew | perfect. currently typing a researcher paper for my public relations class and should be done then. | 03:11 |
| * philipballew only has 12 fun pages left | 03:13 | |
| pleia2 | good luck :) | 03:14 |
| philipballew | thanks, I'm gonna need it | 03:15 |
| pleia2 | philipballew: will we get speaker info for Ubucon with instructions for how to register? | 05:04 |
