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