[05:13] netritious: Hello! [05:25] hi Unit193 [05:26] what have you been up to? [05:27] Oh it all depends, several things. What are you interested in? :P [05:27] How about you? [05:28] trying to figure out why windows 98 keeps giving me BSOD on my new 8-core CPU [05:28] Hah, running Win98? What for/ [05:29] lol my joke wasn't funny [05:31] Well 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. :P [05:31] Heh. [05:32] seriously though been checking out LXC [05:33] just to see how far I can push it with 6 year old dual core and 8GB ram [05:36] setup a more permanent irc client was this evening's goal [05:45] * Unit193 hides all his hardware from netritious. [05:49] now why would you go and do a thing like that >:D [05:50] oh crap...just realized what time it was... [05:50] nite Unit193 bbl [05:50] Adios! [05:51] netritious: Mine is really crappy, if yours is old. :P [12:10] Good morning wrst, Unit193, twayneprice. [12:10] Howdy. [12:13] howdy tenc [12:36] good morning [12:45] Hi netritious. [12:46] Hello === Omnifrog|pond is now known as Omnifrog [13:15] anyone using mariadb in place of mysql? [13:59] netritious: well I have it installed on arch as it is the default but to say i use it would be an understatement [14:03] wrst: never been a fan of oracle, and less so now that they published some FOSS FUD, and thinking it's high time to ditch mysql [14:04] oracle FUD: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/10/15/oracle_says_open_source_has_no_place_in_military_apps/ [14:05] interesting oracle blows [14:05] commas needed [14:05] interesting, oracle blows [14:05] so do phone keyboards [14:06] lol how've you been wrst [14:07] good netritious traveling with the family today [14:07] and didn't Microsoft say some of the same things a few years back? [14:07] how are you doing netritious [14:08] wrst: yes, M$ has produced tons of FUD, and I don't use their DB either :D [14:13] the 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 yet [14:44] obviously oracle feels threatened by free software, and has a right to be. [14:46] they stand a lot to lose, like, all their $$$. [14:47] no reason to use free software as a podium to preach fud though. that's just bad business practices 101. [14:56] so what has everyone been up to? haven't been in for a while. [15:06] Poor Sun. [15:23] I think Sun made out like bandits. [15:25] industrial strength proprietary servers and workstations should near death soon. [15:27] *should be...but who knows. Moore's law may or not play itself out. [15:28] here's my current ubuntu server specs http://paste.ubuntu.com/6251527/ [15:28] replaced a debian server. I fudged the user, host, and some crypt mounts...otherwise it's accurate. [15:32] Why replace? [15:33] I fubar'ed the debian server doing something stupid and couldn't figure out how to recover. [15:34] and needed a server right away, hadn't tried ubuntu for a while, eh it's still not so bad as a server [15:34] besides ubuntu has really good support for LXC http://paste.ubuntu.com/6251573/ [15:36] linux (and windows for that matter) are just hypervisors for running other OS's for me now. [15:38] I literally can try anything x86/x64 on a whim. [15:39] next week I am going to try and recover some KVM .img files and mount with LXC. [15:44] If i'm lucky the image files will boot with little to no modification. [15:44] If I'm unlucky, I can at least recover some of the work I did last year learning to build and package snort/barnyard2 [15:49] btw, never /ever/ apt-get --purge --auto-remove upgrade unless you are really certain about it. [16:07] Hah! :D [16:07] Solid advice. [16:09] Are you running desktop Ubuntu as a server or the actual server distro netritious? [16:28] tenc: I use alternate to install. I use a lxc container with vnc now for ubuntu desktop. [16:30] *vnc over ssh [16:30] tenc: what do you run? [16:46] netritious: I'm relatively new to Linux; I run a pair of xubuntu installs. [17:12] tenc: do you run server and desktop? and what did you run berfore xubuntu [17:59] netritious: 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. [18:38] netritious: apt-get --purge autoremove ? I basically run that every day. :D [19:42] Unit193: no, it was apt-get --purge --auto-remove upgrade <--don't do that, unless you're certain of the consequences [19:44] Aha, I missed the upgrade bit, whoops. :P [19:44] Sounds fun! :P [19:44] It probably would have been ok except for the fact that there was kernel stuff in the upgrade [19:45] oh, and I was root :-/ [20:31] netritious: I need to read the back log but the statement "oh, and I was root :-/" can never be a good thing! [20:44] wrst: you're absolutely correct lol [22:06] :\ [22:25] I just had to reconfigure my virtualbox, and I was root. :D === elijah-mbp is now known as eli-away [23:50] howdy chris4585
