netritiouslol my joke wasn't funny05:29
Unit193Well I set win 3.1 up in a VM not long ago, I could picture someone wanting to see what'd happen with an 8 core. :P05:31
Unit193Heh.05:31

netritiousanyone using mariadb in place of mysql?13:15
wrstnetritious: well I have it installed on arch as it is the default but to say i use it would be an understatement13:59
netritiouswrst: never been a fan of oracle, and less so now that they published some FOSS FUD, and thinking it's high time to ditch mysql14:03
netritiousoracle FUD: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/10/15/oracle_says_open_source_has_no_place_in_military_apps/14:04
wrstinteresting oracle blows14:05
wrstcommas needed14:05
wrstinteresting, oracle blows14:05
wrstso do phone keyboards14:05
netritiouslol how've you been wrst14:06
wrstgood netritious traveling with the family today14:07
wrstand didn't Microsoft say some of the same things a few years back?14:07
wrsthow are you doing netritious14:07
netritiouswrst: yes, M$ has produced tons of FUD, and I don't use their DB either :D14:08
netritiousthe fud from oracle is just icing on the cake...I've been considering for months now switching just haven't had the time to delve into it yet14:13
netritiousobviously oracle feels threatened by free software, and has a right to be.14:44
netritiousthey stand a lot to lose, like, all their $$$.14:46
netritiousno reason to use free software as a podium to preach fud though. that's just bad business practices 101.14:47
netritiousso what has everyone been up to? haven't been in for a while.14:56
tencPoor Sun.15:06
netritiousI think Sun made out like bandits.15:23
netritiousindustrial strength proprietary servers and workstations should near death soon.15:25
netritious*should be...but who knows. Moore's law may or not play itself out.15:27
netritioushere's my current ubuntu server specs http://paste.ubuntu.com/6251527/15:28
netritiousreplaced a debian server. I fudged the user, host, and some crypt mounts...otherwise it's accurate.15:28
tencWhy replace?15:32
netritiousI fubar'ed the debian server doing something stupid and couldn't figure out how to recover.15:33
netritiousand needed a server right away, hadn't tried ubuntu for a while, eh it's still not so bad as a server15:34
netritiousbesides ubuntu has really good support for LXC http://paste.ubuntu.com/6251573/15:34
netritiouslinux (and windows for that matter) are just hypervisors for running other OS's for me now.15:36
netritiousI literally can try anything x86/x64 on a whim.15:38
netritiousnext week I am going to try and recover some KVM .img files and mount with LXC.15:39
netritiousIf i'm lucky the image files will boot with little to no modification.15:44
netritiousIf I'm unlucky, I can at least recover some of the work I did last year learning to build and package snort/barnyard215:44
netritiousbtw, never /ever/ apt-get --purge --auto-remove upgrade unless you are really certain about it.15:49
tencHah! :D16:07
tencSolid advice.16:07
tencAre you running desktop Ubuntu as a server or the actual server distro netritious?16:09
netritioustenc: I use alternate to install. I use a lxc container with vnc now for ubuntu desktop.16:28
netritious*vnc over ssh16:30
netritioustenc: what do you run?16:30
tencnetritious: I'm relatively new to Linux; I run a pair of xubuntu installs.16:46
netritioustenc: do you run server and desktop? and what did you run berfore xubuntu17:12
tencnetritious: just desktop on a laptop/desktop. Before xubuntu I tried out ubuntu, debian, fedora and I would probably have spent some time with arch if I hadn't been so pleased with xubuntu. Before that I was Windows going way back.17:59
Unit193netritious: apt-get --purge autoremove ?  I basically run that every day. :D18:38
netritiousUnit193: no, it was apt-get --purge --auto-remove upgrade <--don't do that, unless you're certain of the consequences19:42
Unit193Aha, I missed the upgrade bit, whoops. :P19:44
Unit193Sounds fun! :P19:44
netritiousIt probably would have been ok except for the fact that there was kernel stuff in the upgrade19:44
netritiousoh, and I was root :-/19:45
wrstnetritious:  I need to read the back log but the statement "oh, and I was root :-/" can never be a good thing!20:31
netritiouswrst: you're absolutely correct lol20:44
wrst:\22:06
Unit193I just had to reconfigure my virtualbox, and I was root. :D22:25
