[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
[02:39] <pleia2> "girlfriend impact"? seriously? is it 1960 again and someone forgot to tell me? :P
[02:39] <Torikun> lol
[02:40] <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
[02:41] <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
[02:42] <pleia2> that's adorable
[02:42] <pleia2> I actually do have a fair number of computers
[02:43] <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
[02:44] <Torikun> ah
[02:44] <Torikun> what is devstack
[02:45] <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)
[02:46] <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"
[02:47] <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 :)
[02:48] <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
[02:49] <Torikun> have oyu met meg whitman?
[02:50] <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
[02:51] <Torikun> oh
[02:51] <Torikun> lucky
[02:51] <Torikun> nice working from hom
[02:51] <pleia2> it is pretty awesome :)
[02:52] <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
[02:53] <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
[02:54]  * 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
[02:55] <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
[02:56] <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
[02:57] <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
[02:58] <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 :)
[02:59] <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 :)
[03:00] <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 :)
[03:01] <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
[03:08] <pleia2> philipballew: post meeting tasks? :) </nag>
[03:09]  * 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?
[03:10] <pleia2> sure
[03:11] <philipballew> perfect. currently typing a researcher paper for my public relations class and should be done then.
[03:13]  * philipballew only has 12 fun pages left
[03:14] <pleia2> good luck :)
[03:15] <philipballew> thanks, I'm gonna need it
[05:04] <pleia2> philipballew: will we get speaker info for Ubucon with instructions for how to register?
[05:06]  * philipballew looks into pleia2 's request
[05:07] <pleia2> gracias
[06:01] <philipballew> upvote?

[06:21] <nhaines> pleia2, philipballew: Have all Ubucon speakers register for SCaLE but not purchase their badges.  Then collect the registration ID numbers from each speaker and send Gareth an email with the badge numbers.
[23:40] <nhaines> LibreOffice 4.0 is out!
[23:40] <Torikun> Nice
