wrstnetritious: !!!16:29
* wrst heads to lunch hopes netritious hangs around :)16:29
netritioushey wrst! yeah will be around for a bit16:31
wrsthow are you doing netritious?16:51
netritiousgood wrst, and you?16:51
wrsteating a big greasy burger :)16:52
wrstnetritious: I remember at one time you were big into containers have you played with docker any?16:52
netritiousmmm...sounds good wrst16:53
netritiousI've read about it....still using LxC though.16:53
wrsti have been trying to eat better but friday is my fat day16:53
wrstlooks like the world is heading to docker I have been playing with digital ocean some16:54
wrstI have been thinking of spinning up a machine sometime and playing with docker some16:54
wrstshould have been an and between those two lines :)16:54
netritiousI'm migrating soon to new storage. Thinking about using CentOS this go around.16:57
wrstjust as a file server?16:58
netritiousfile server + playground16:58
wrstahh :)16:59
netritiouswith containers it's ok if something gets FUBARed....easy to recover16:59
wrstI have really been enjoying freenas16:59
wrstbut its less of a playground16:59
netritiousI thought about switching to freenas, but I like my setup. Swithing distros shouldn't change to much, at least I hope not.17:00
wrstI wouldn't think so, were you on ubuntu?17:00
netritiousyeah since 8.0417:00
wrstI have everything running debian that I need to actually work now, except my laptop on arch17:01
netritiousupgraded from 8.04 to 10.04, 12.04, etc.17:01
netritioushaven't upgraded to 14.04 though17:01
wrstI have used the desktop version its pretty solid, but that wasn't through an upgrade17:01
netritiousfor the past few months I've been working on my house....wiring and stuff.17:02
wrstsounds... fun yeah fun :)17:04
netritiousheh I guess so lol17:04
wrstI am into garage organization, I'm stopping by lowes... yet again17:05
wrstthey are growing so much junk in the garden center I have an instant allergy attack when I go in that forsaken place17:05
netritioushah I've spent a good deal of time thee to.17:05
wrstoh I bet17:05
wrstnetworking type wiring or electrical?17:05
netritiousboth17:06
wrstwell i guess networking is electrical...17:06
wrstahh :)17:06
netritiousRG6, RJ45, and electrical.17:06
wrstahh netritious question for an expert since you are here. do you have any suggestions for a home/small office wireless router17:06
wrstshort of building one? which i think may very well be what I end up dong17:07
netritiousasus RT-N16 if you can find one17:07
netritiousthen install shibby tomato or advanced tomato17:07
wrstI have a wndr 3700 v417:08
wrstI 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 drops17:08
wrstwired is great but the wireless is not so great and I'm pretty sure its software17:08
wrstso may give dd-wrt another go before I junk it17:09
wrstmy mother in law has that router I think17:09
wrstthe ASUS its super stable17:09
wrstactually about all asus hardware I have had has been good, including my bargain basement laptop17:11
netritiousI'm not a fanboi or anything but asus products seem solid and reasonably priced for the quality level.17:20
wrstyes I agree17:28
wrstmy laptop has been very good. but I think next laptop I may go for higher quality17:31
wrstbut that will be a while17:31
wrstnothing against asus but when you got bargain basement there are certain tradeoffs17:31
netritioustrue17:32
wrsthate to say it but macbooks look really nice17:33
wrstbut leaning more towards system7617:33
wrstbut I'm daydreaming now17:33
netritiousi'm still happily using the desktop i built last year.17:37
wrstmy desktop is not my freenas machine17:38
wrstI have a little atom machine I have considered turning into a pfsense box17:38
netritiouswrst: I bought a couple of SFF HPs off ebay for $60 each for pfsense17:49
netritiouscame 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
netritiousJust adding to one machine...the other is for parts.17:52
netritioussorry, 1x 2.4GHz Atheros PCI adapter card.17:53
wrsthmm nice17:54
wrstthat's very doable, if I'm not mistaken intel network cards are best for pfsense?17:55
wrstif not just in general?17:55
netritiousI would say both, but there is bound to be someone that brings up "proprietary driver" depending on who you're talking to heh17:57
netritiousyou know, those "FOSS" people :D17:58
netritiousJust for clarification I'm one of those people18:02
netritiousmostly :)18:03
wrstactually i thought intel was well supported by open drivers18:03
wrstvideo, wifi, networking18:03
wrstand I'm with you netritious, if all is equal I prefer FOSS, but I'm also practical18:04
netritiouswrst you are right: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_and_open-source_graphics_device_driver#Intel18:08
netritiousI must have been thinking about nvidia18:09
netritiousopen source nouveau vs proprietary binaries18:11
wrstyes now that will get a FOSS advocate ranting :)18:17
wrstI thought I had heard from the bsd folks that intel network cards were the way to go18:18
wrstnot for sure on wireless but figured that to be the case there also18:18
netritiousdefinitely for wired, not so certain about wireless. atheros and ralink should be good for bsd based OS19:06
wrstI'm going to do a lot of research of course but would like to go g/n/ac19:09
netritiouswrst: for pfsense... https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AojFUXcbH0ROdHgwYkFHbkRUdV9hVWljVWl5SXkxbFE&hl=en#gid=019:09
wrstahh sweet19:09
wrstor I suppose I could use a router as a WAP also19:10
netritiousyep19:10
wrstreally that might be the best thing, or easiest thing at least19:11
netritiousnice chatting with you wrst...will try to bbl19:55
cyberangerman, missed netritious20:01

cyberangernot as fun as driving it, but it'll do20:07
wrstcool greyhound has wifi?20:24
wrstwell that's what you just said20:25

cyberangerwrst: yeah, and AC powwer20:30
wrstsweet20:30
cyberangerso I've had the laptop out for each bus ride20:31
wrstthat's a sweet deal20:31
cyberangertrying to sleep here & there too, all and all that makes up for the costs, most of which would have gone to gas20:31
cyberangertime spent driving solo between work shifts, and the interview in the middle, would have really slammed me20:32
