[16:27] <netritious> howdy
[16:29] <wrst> netritious: !!!
[16:29]  * wrst heads to lunch hopes netritious hangs around :)
[16:31] <netritious> hey wrst! yeah will be around for a bit
[16:51] <wrst> how are you doing netritious?
[16:51] <netritious> good wrst, and you?
[16:52] <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?
[16:53] <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
[16:54] <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 :)
[16:57] <netritious> I'm migrating soon to new storage. Thinking about using CentOS this go around.
[16:58] <wrst> just as a file server?
[16:58] <netritious> file server + playground
[16:59] <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
[17:00] <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
[17:01] <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
[17:02] <netritious> for the past few months I've been working on my house....wiring and stuff.
[17:04] <wrst> sounds... fun yeah fun :)
[17:04] <netritious> heh I guess so lol
[17:05] <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?
[17:06] <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
[17:07] <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
[17:08] <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
[17:09] <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
[17:11] <wrst> actually about all asus hardware I have had has been good, including my bargain basement laptop
[17:20] <netritious> I'm not a fanboi or anything but asus products seem solid and reasonably priced for the quality level.
[17:28] <wrst> yes I agree
[17:31] <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
[17:32] <netritious> true
[17:33] <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
[17:37] <netritious> i'm still happily using the desktop i built last year.
[17:38] <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
[17:49] <netritious> wrst: I bought a couple of SFF HPs off ebay for $60 each for pfsense
[17:51] <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.
[17:52] <netritious> Just adding to one machine...the other is for parts.
[17:53] <netritious> sorry, 1x 2.4GHz Atheros PCI adapter card.
[17:54] <wrst> hmm nice
[17:55] <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?
[17:57] <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
[17:58] <netritious> you know, those "FOSS" people :D
[18:02] <netritious> Just for clarification I'm one of those people
[18:03] <netritious> mostly :)
[18:03] <wrst> actually i thought intel was well supported by open drivers
[18:03] <wrst> video, wifi, networking
[18:04] <wrst> and I'm with you netritious, if all is equal I prefer FOSS, but I'm also practical
[18:08] <netritious> wrst you are right: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_and_open-source_graphics_device_driver#Intel
[18:09] <netritious> I must have been thinking about nvidia
[18:11] <netritious> open source nouveau vs proprietary binaries
[18:17] <wrst> yes now that will get a FOSS advocate ranting :)
[18:18] <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
[19:06] <netritious> definitely for wired, not so certain about wireless. atheros and ralink should be good for bsd based OS
[19:09] <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
[19:10] <wrst> or I suppose I could use a router as a WAP also
[19:10] <netritious> yep
[19:11] <wrst> really that might be the best thing, or easiest thing at least
[19:55] <netritious> nice chatting with you wrst...will try to bbl
[20:01] <cyberanger> man, missed netritious
[20:01] <cyberanger> netritious: or did I?
[20:01] <cyberanger> netritious: how's it going?
[20:04] <wrst> ha ha cyberanger he knew you were coming :)
[20:05] <cyberanger> lawl
[20:07] <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
[20:24] <wrst> cool greyhound has wifi?
[20:25] <wrst> well that's what you just said
[20:25] <wrst> but I didn't realize that :)
[20:30] <cyberanger> wrst: yeah, and AC powwer
[20:30] <wrst> sweet
[20:31] <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
[20:32] <cyberanger> time spent driving solo between work shifts, and the interview in the middle, would have really slammed me
[20:43] <cyberanger> think I have my git server running now
[20:44] <Unit193> Ah nice.
