| olly | morning | 21:33 |
| mwhudson | hmm hmm i guess i should upgrade to utopic... | 21:59 |
| ajmitch_ | and I should upgrade from precise | 22:04 |
| mwhudson | but first, backups | 22:06 |
| ibeardslee | hmmm .. I should start planning to upgrade my home server from lucid | 22:07 |
| mwhudson | you've got a whole six months! | 22:08 |
| ibeardslee | but that should also involve a hardware upgrade/replacement plan | 22:09 |
| ibeardslee | either to a 64bit capable CPU or an arm based CPU | 22:09 |
| olly | or both? | 22:25 |
| ibeardslee | sure .. that could work as well .. but are 64bit ARM CPUs & devices going to be available enough and spec'd at the home server market? | 22:27 |
| ibeardslee | .. and by the time Lucid comes out of support. | 22:27 |
| ajmitch_ | they're being used for phones & tablets, so probably will be available for a small server | 22:31 |
| mwhudson | yes, but mobile parts make for fairly rubbish server parts on the whole | 22:36 |
| mwhudson | (see the millions of pandaboard like things where the ethernet is usb based) | 22:37 |
| ibeardslee | and generally any decent ammount of disk will be USB based as well | 22:38 |
| mwhudson | yeah | 22:38 |
| mwhudson | some boards have sata | 22:38 |
| ibeardslee | but usually just one sata port | 22:38 |
| mwhudson | but generally not power over sata, so ... | 22:38 |
| ibeardslee | .. and then there is the fact that a couple of the apps on my home server will need to be recompiled for the arm | 22:39 |
| ajmitch_ | what do you use the home server for? | 22:42 |
| ibeardslee | the one that will catch me will be seafile | 22:44 |
| ibeardslee | essentially it's mail server and file store (plus dhcp, dns, apt cache etc) | 22:46 |
| ajmitch_ | so no powerful cpu needed or video decoding | 22:47 |
| ibeardslee | .. well not neccessarily .. currently the VIA C3 isn't that sort of machine so I haven't done anything there. | 22:48 |
| ibeardslee | it could end up as a media server encode/decoder box | 22:50 |
| ajmitch_ | or steam streaming | 22:50 |
| ibeardslee | yeah mythtv backend box | 22:52 |
| ibeardslee | of course I could split that into multiple boxes etc | 22:52 |
| mwhudson | well that was boring | 23:55 |
