| thafreak | well...just moved my irssi session from my old pogo plug to my new raspberry pi | 14:13 |
|---|---|---|
| thafreak | lets see how this goes :) | 14:13 |
| thafreak | how's ohio by the way? | 14:13 |
| jrgifford | thafreak: ohio is doing good. | 14:20 |
| jrgifford | i think | 14:20 |
| paultag | OH! | 14:20 |
| jrgifford | IO! | 14:22 |
| paultag | ! | 14:25 |
| thafreak | oh.io? | 14:31 |
| thafreak | who registered that one? | 14:31 |
| paultag | I looked at it | 14:31 |
| paultag | but I was too late | 14:31 |
| thafreak | awe | 14:32 |
| jrgifford | sadface | 14:32 |
| paultag | I got deb.io | 14:32 |
| thafreak | i thought domains had to be a min of 3 characters anyway? | 14:32 |
| paultag | nah | 14:32 |
| paultag | that' | 14:32 |
| paultag | that's a per TLD thing | 14:32 |
| thafreak | i looked at .io's but they're likle $99 | 14:33 |
| paultag | thafreak: e.g. x.org is a thing | 14:33 |
| paultag | thafreak: bad registrar :) | 14:33 |
| thafreak | how much you get them for? | 14:33 |
| paultag | 40 something | 14:33 |
| paultag | I can do it for about 32 after I get my account updated | 14:33 |
| thafreak | meh, still...unless I had a good reason, I don't think I'd pay that much | 14:34 |
| paultag | my .ag is expensive | 14:34 |
| paultag | like 90 some odd bucks. | 14:34 |
| thafreak | i have a .me that I pay a bit more for already | 14:34 |
| paultag | .me is not so bad | 14:34 |
| paultag | .org is cheep | 14:34 |
| jrgifford | .com can be cheap | 14:42 |
| jrgifford | .net meh | 14:42 |
| paultag | I need to stop buying domains | 14:42 |
| jrgifford | how many do you have now? | 14:43 |
| paultag | I toned it down | 14:43 |
| paultag | I think I'm down to about 8 | 14:43 |
| jrgifford | i'm at 6 right now. | 14:43 |
| paultag | I just droped a few | 14:43 |
| paultag | I need to get my shit in line | 14:43 |
| jrgifford | personal, company 1, company 2, armyofminions.com, and a few others. | 14:44 |
| paultag | word | 14:44 |
| jrgifford | i mean, i saw armyofminions.com was available, and said MINE | 14:46 |
| jrgifford | IM GETTING THAT | 14:46 |
| thafreak | wow, my pogoplug is pushing 2 years uptime | 14:46 |
| thafreak | armyofminions....you should use it to run a salt master | 14:47 |
| thafreak | (see saltstack.org) | 14:47 |
| jrgifford | thafreak: i start to get worried after 3 months. | 14:47 |
| thafreak | worried about what? | 14:47 |
| jrgifford | generally because a kernel update landed, and i don't use ksplice. | 14:47 |
| jrgifford | uptime. | 14:47 |
| thafreak | The only machines i reboot frequently are the ones that run a web browser | 14:48 |
| jrgifford | but yes, i was thinking puppet, since that's my thing, but yes, i could do that with salt as well. | 14:48 |
| thafreak | just saying...salt actually calls their slaves minions | 14:49 |
| jrgifford | right. | 14:49 |
| thafreak | seems fitting | 14:49 |
| jrgifford | i could use that for a hosted salt service. | 14:49 |
| thafreak | i still need to run some tests with salt on the raspberry pi | 14:49 |
| jrgifford | was reading salt doesn't work for the pi | 14:50 |
| paultag | you're still on that salt grind? | 14:50 |
| thafreak | oh really | 14:51 |
| thafreak | i had some problems getting salt to work on the pogo plug | 14:51 |
| thafreak | it was their crypto or something...the implementation was endian specific | 14:52 |
| thafreak | but i installed a pure python version and it mostly worked | 14:52 |
| thafreak | and yes, I'm still on that salt grind | 14:54 |
| thafreak | it's still the closest thing to what I wanted to build from scratch...and it's already implemented | 14:54 |
| thafreak | plus they've already built in windows support | 14:54 |
| paultag | mmm | 14:55 |
| thafreak | so I'm hoping I can deploy at customer's location, and manage some aspects of their winblows boxen remotely | 14:55 |
| jrgifford | that is an advantage of salt | 15:14 |
| jrgifford | puppet/chef can do some stuff, but from what i've been told, salt does it better. | 15:14 |
| thafreak | anyone in here know about newer lcd/led monitors? | 15:51 |
| thafreak | I'm looking to get 2 large-ish (23-24") | 15:52 |
| thafreak | i want to play games on at least one of them | 15:52 |
| thafreak | is the 5ms time monitors decent, or do I really want the 2ms or even a 1ms one? | 15:52 |
| * dzho watches with interest | 18:24 | |
| dzho | thafreak: if you find out elsehow, I'd appreciate a comment here about what you learn | 18:24 |
| thafreak | dzho: find out what? monitors? | 18:26 |
| dzho | yeah | 18:29 |
| dzho | particularly, about the speed requirements | 18:29 |
| dzho | I'm sure there's a write up out there on teh intarwebs that explains this all, the trick is finding it. | 18:30 |
| dzho | in a simple minded way, I look at 5ms and think that's equivalent to 200Hz which sounds plenty fast to me | 18:30 |
| dzho | given as how I was just talking today with someone about how valuable we still find CRTs that can do 120Hz or better at a decent resolution. | 18:30 |
| thafreak | yeah, from what I've read, it all says faster is better...but anything bellow 6ms should be fine | 18:31 |
| dzho | but there's probably some other factor I'm not considering, or the rates are not so directly comparable because of reasons | 18:31 |
| thafreak | it's up to your eyes...some people see ghosting at 6ms some don't | 18:31 |
| dzho | slow eyes | 18:32 |
| thafreak | but i guess there's also two main panel types, TN and IPS now | 18:32 |
| thafreak | IPS has better colors and angles, but typically slower response times and more energy consumption | 18:32 |
| thafreak | so, it all seems to be a bunch of tradeoffs | 18:33 |
| thafreak | but I've seen most of the new IPS ones are also atleast 5ms...so I guess that's not too bad | 18:33 |
| thafreak | and from what I've read, they'd be better for things where colors matter (like photo editing) | 18:33 |
| thafreak | so I think since I'll not be playing games most of the time, I'm going to lean that direction | 18:34 |
| thafreak | I'll probably be doing much more photo editing/web development/programming/IRC than gaming | 18:34 |
| dzho | so say we all | 18:35 |
| thafreak | :) | 18:35 |
| thafreak | what I'm most insterested in, is finding one at a decent price at best buy, where I can get 6mo financing :) | 18:36 |
| dzho | I'm just going to look into the Oculus Rift stuff and see if Pymol will drive them. | 18:37 |
| dzho | 300 bucks, oh boy | 18:37 |
| thafreak | Pymol? | 18:37 |
| dzho | you know it mang | 18:38 |
| thafreak | no, "what is Pymol for 300 dzho" | 18:38 |
| dzho | oh | 18:39 |
| dzho | sorry | 18:39 |
| dzho | pymol.org | 18:39 |
| dzho | 3D molecular visualization software | 18:39 |
| thafreak | ah | 18:39 |
| thafreak | in python i'm guessing? | 18:39 |
| dzho | it's written in . . . C++, I think, but has python bindings | 18:39 |
| thafreak | oh, ok... | 18:40 |
| thafreak | usually projects that begin with py are python...but ok | 18:40 |
| dzho | http://www.mtbs3d.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=10808#p47940 | 18:40 |
| dzho | yeah, maybe it goes beyond "has bindings" | 18:40 |
| thafreak | stranger things have happened...like how they used windows XP at NASA and in space...retards | 18:41 |
| skellat | It was flight qualified for the longest time. Flight qualification is not a speedy process. After all, only Squeeze is going up to the ISS...not Wheezy... | 18:41 |
| dzho | from a pure FOSS perspective, its late developer and founder established an interesting approach to licensing. | 18:42 |
| dzho | the source code is licensed under a permissive, BSDish license. | 18:42 |
| dzho | but the binaries he produces are not released that way. | 18:42 |
| dzho | he's like, if you can build it for your platform from source, more power to you. | 18:42 |
| dzho | so, you can get it "for free" via Ubuntu or Debian packages. | 18:43 |
| dzho | but *not* for Windows or Mac. | 18:43 |
| dzho | sorry, I should say the binaries he produced. | 18:44 |
| dzho | his widow sold the rights and the company that bought them, last I saw, was continuing in that same vein. | 18:44 |
| * dzho has a muppets moment | 18:44 | |
| dzho | XP INNNNNN SPAAAAAAAACE | 18:45 |
| thafreak | that's the way all software should be | 18:47 |
| thafreak | open, but if you want packaged binaries, support, etc, then be willing to pay | 18:48 |
| dzho | I resisted his approach for a long time, but now I think I see the justice in it. | 18:48 |
| dzho | sort of like the way I resisted the FSF approach when I first started trying to get GNU things on an IRIX box: "What do you mean, I can pay you for tapes of the software? Tapes? Pay? What part of 'free' don't you understand?" (time passes) "Oh." | 18:49 |
