[10:51] <bigcalm> Good morning peeps :)
[10:52] <brobostigon> morning bigcalm
[10:53] <brobostigon> just about*
[10:54] <bigcalm> Blimey, I hadn't even taken notice of the time. It's earlier than I thought
[10:55] <brobostigon> :)
[11:34] <robotninja> Good news: tent has been taken out of the ikea bag I stuffed it in, checked over, and re-packed properly.
[11:34] <robotninja> Bad news: I'm now too tired to go camping tomorrow.
[11:34]  * penguin42 never saw the point of camping - says he sitting next to a nice warm radiator
[11:38] <robotninja> I don't get out camping as much as I'd like, but I'm having a couple of days up in Snowdonia next week. Nice to get away from things.
[11:52] <penguin42> it looks like the latter end of the week has a better chance
[12:31] <Myrtti> < Myrtti> today's experience at Hobbycraft parking lot: for the first time ever I  noticed my phone had 4G. Proceeded to do a speed test - ended up laughing and  crying at the same time because I can get blazing speeds at a parking lot  while the experience at home reminds me of 56K modem times.
[12:34] <penguin42> Myrtti: Next time you're there look around  - you were probably standing below a base station - I mean where better to put a base station than a parking lot
[12:35] <penguin42> Myrtti: and did you rcarrier have a shop in the same shopping area?
[13:16] <daftykins> penguin42: seems you were quite right, though i had a 64KB stripe on my old array and went for a 256KB stripe this time (not sure if it would have any influence) i only saw 120MB/sec copying the data over my data to the new setup D:
[13:17]  * penguin42 admits to not having remembered saying anything about alignment
[13:17] <daftykins> oh no you hadn't, but i had created the new one with said larger stripe and don't know if it factored in
[13:18] <penguin42> ah
[13:18] <daftykins> but given it took about 18hrs to build the RAID5 volume i am not in a hurry to repeat it :D
[13:18] <penguin42> daftykins: Note that if you're stripes go too big then it might hurt you on small writes
[13:18] <daftykins> yep
[13:18] <daftykins> mostly large data on there so shouldn't be a problem
[13:18] <penguin42> nod
[13:19] <daftykins> i've yet to do anything with the disks in either set
[13:19] <daftykins> in fact perhaps that should be a task for today
[13:19] <daftykins> i find it wise not to move too quickly with such things though :) certainly don't have any plans with what to do with the old disks yet!
[20:17] <shauno> I just found John Barrowman in concert on sky arts?  now I remember why I don't watch regular TV often
[21:13] <diddledan_> shauno, is john barrowman in concert a bad thing?
[21:44] <shauno> perhaps "too much of a good thing" is a nice way to put it
[22:27] <ali1234> what's the best way to make python websites these days?
[22:28] <ali1234> i need something extremely minimal. no user logins, and no actual pages. but it does need to be able to store persistent data
[22:28] <ali1234> django seems like overkill for this, and i don't know any others
[23:43] <maps|wrk> hello
