wrst | netritious: !!! | 16:29 |
* wrst heads to lunch hopes netritious hangs around :) | 16:29 | |
netritious | hey wrst! yeah will be around for a bit | 16:31 |
wrst | how are you doing netritious? | 16:51 |
netritious | good wrst, and you? | 16:51 |
wrst | eating a big greasy burger :) | 16:52 |
wrst | netritious: I remember at one time you were big into containers have you played with docker any? | 16:52 |
netritious | mmm...sounds good wrst | 16:53 |
netritious | I've read about it....still using LxC though. | 16:53 |
wrst | i have been trying to eat better but friday is my fat day | 16:53 |
wrst | looks like the world is heading to docker I have been playing with digital ocean some | 16:54 |
wrst | I have been thinking of spinning up a machine sometime and playing with docker some | 16:54 |
wrst | should have been an and between those two lines :) | 16:54 |
netritious | I'm migrating soon to new storage. Thinking about using CentOS this go around. | 16:57 |
wrst | just as a file server? | 16:58 |
netritious | file server + playground | 16:58 |
wrst | ahh :) | 16:59 |
netritious | with containers it's ok if something gets FUBARed....easy to recover | 16:59 |
wrst | I have really been enjoying freenas | 16:59 |
wrst | but its less of a playground | 16:59 |
netritious | I thought about switching to freenas, but I like my setup. Swithing distros shouldn't change to much, at least I hope not. | 17:00 |
wrst | I wouldn't think so, were you on ubuntu? | 17:00 |
netritious | yeah since 8.04 | 17:00 |
wrst | I have everything running debian that I need to actually work now, except my laptop on arch | 17:01 |
netritious | upgraded from 8.04 to 10.04, 12.04, etc. | 17:01 |
netritious | haven't upgraded to 14.04 though | 17:01 |
wrst | I have used the desktop version its pretty solid, but that wasn't through an upgrade | 17:01 |
netritious | for the past few months I've been working on my house....wiring and stuff. | 17:02 |
wrst | sounds... fun yeah fun :) | 17:04 |
netritious | heh I guess so lol | 17:04 |
wrst | I am into garage organization, I'm stopping by lowes... yet again | 17:05 |
wrst | they are growing so much junk in the garden center I have an instant allergy attack when I go in that forsaken place | 17:05 |
netritious | hah I've spent a good deal of time thee to. | 17:05 |
wrst | oh I bet | 17:05 |
wrst | networking type wiring or electrical? | 17:05 |
netritious | both | 17:06 |
wrst | well i guess networking is electrical... | 17:06 |
wrst | ahh :) | 17:06 |
netritious | RG6, RJ45, and electrical. | 17:06 |
wrst | ahh netritious question for an expert since you are here. do you have any suggestions for a home/small office wireless router | 17:06 |
wrst | short of building one? which i think may very well be what I end up dong | 17:07 |
netritious | asus RT-N16 if you can find one | 17:07 |
netritious | then install shibby tomato or advanced tomato | 17:07 |
wrst | I have a wndr 3700 v4 | 17:08 |
wrst | I put dd-wrt on it when I got it, and had issues so i returned it to stock and it was better but still get random drops | 17:08 |
wrst | wired is great but the wireless is not so great and I'm pretty sure its software | 17:08 |
wrst | so may give dd-wrt another go before I junk it | 17:09 |
wrst | my mother in law has that router I think | 17:09 |
wrst | the ASUS its super stable | 17:09 |
wrst | actually about all asus hardware I have had has been good, including my bargain basement laptop | 17:11 |
netritious | I'm not a fanboi or anything but asus products seem solid and reasonably priced for the quality level. | 17:20 |
wrst | yes I agree | 17:28 |
wrst | my laptop has been very good. but I think next laptop I may go for higher quality | 17:31 |
wrst | but that will be a while | 17:31 |
wrst | nothing against asus but when you got bargain basement there are certain tradeoffs | 17:31 |
netritious | true | 17:32 |
wrst | hate to say it but macbooks look really nice | 17:33 |
wrst | but leaning more towards system76 | 17:33 |
wrst | but I'm daydreaming now | 17:33 |
netritious | i'm still happily using the desktop i built last year. | 17:37 |
wrst | my desktop is not my freenas machine | 17:38 |
wrst | I have a little atom machine I have considered turning into a pfsense box | 17:38 |
netritious | wrst: I bought a couple of SFF HPs off ebay for $60 each for pfsense | 17:49 |
netritious | came with dual core 2.5GHz, 2GB RAM. Will be adding another 2GB RAM, 3x Intel NICs, 1x 2.4GHz Atheros mini-pcie, and ssd. Latter two I still have to buy. | 17:51 |
netritious | Just adding to one machine...the other is for parts. | 17:52 |
netritious | sorry, 1x 2.4GHz Atheros PCI adapter card. | 17:53 |
wrst | hmm nice | 17:54 |
wrst | that's very doable, if I'm not mistaken intel network cards are best for pfsense? | 17:55 |
wrst | if not just in general? | 17:55 |
netritious | I would say both, but there is bound to be someone that brings up "proprietary driver" depending on who you're talking to heh | 17:57 |
netritious | you know, those "FOSS" people :D | 17:58 |
netritious | Just for clarification I'm one of those people | 18:02 |
netritious | mostly :) | 18:03 |
wrst | actually i thought intel was well supported by open drivers | 18:03 |
wrst | video, wifi, networking | 18:03 |
wrst | and I'm with you netritious, if all is equal I prefer FOSS, but I'm also practical | 18:04 |
netritious | wrst you are right: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_and_open-source_graphics_device_driver#Intel | 18:08 |
netritious | I must have been thinking about nvidia | 18:09 |
netritious | open source nouveau vs proprietary binaries | 18:11 |
wrst | yes now that will get a FOSS advocate ranting :) | 18:17 |
wrst | I thought I had heard from the bsd folks that intel network cards were the way to go | 18:18 |
wrst | not for sure on wireless but figured that to be the case there also | 18:18 |
netritious | definitely for wired, not so certain about wireless. atheros and ralink should be good for bsd based OS | 19:06 |
wrst | I'm going to do a lot of research of course but would like to go g/n/ac | 19:09 |
netritious | wrst: for pfsense... https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AojFUXcbH0ROdHgwYkFHbkRUdV9hVWljVWl5SXkxbFE&hl=en#gid=0 | 19:09 |
wrst | ahh sweet | 19:09 |
wrst | or I suppose I could use a router as a WAP also | 19:10 |
netritious | yep | 19:10 |
wrst | really that might be the best thing, or easiest thing at least | 19:11 |
netritious | nice chatting with you wrst...will try to bbl | 19:55 |
cyberanger | man, missed netritious | 20:01 |
cyberanger | netritious: or did I? | 20:01 |
cyberanger | netritious: how's it going? | 20:01 |
wrst | ha ha cyberanger he knew you were coming :) | 20:04 |
cyberanger | lawl | 20:05 |
cyberanger | going to be in nashville here shortly, gonna love going up monteagle in a greyhound, with free wifi | 20:07 |
cyberanger | not as fun as driving it, but it'll do | 20:07 |
wrst | cool greyhound has wifi? | 20:24 |
wrst | well that's what you just said | 20:25 |
wrst | but I didn't realize that :) | 20:25 |
cyberanger | wrst: yeah, and AC powwer | 20:30 |
wrst | sweet | 20:30 |
cyberanger | so I've had the laptop out for each bus ride | 20:31 |
wrst | that's a sweet deal | 20:31 |
cyberanger | trying to sleep here & there too, all and all that makes up for the costs, most of which would have gone to gas | 20:31 |
cyberanger | time spent driving solo between work shifts, and the interview in the middle, would have really slammed me | 20:32 |
cyberanger | think I have my git server running now | 20:43 |
Unit193 | Ah nice. | 20:44 |
