[18:14] morning [21:33] morning [21:59] hmm hmm i guess i should upgrade to utopic... [22:04] and I should upgrade from precise [22:06] but first, backups [22:07] hmmm .. I should start planning to upgrade my home server from lucid [22:08] you've got a whole six months! [22:09] but that should also involve a hardware upgrade/replacement plan [22:09] either to a 64bit capable CPU or an arm based CPU [22:25] or both? [22:27] 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] .. and by the time Lucid comes out of support. [22:31] they're being used for phones & tablets, so probably will be available for a small server [22:36] yes, but mobile parts make for fairly rubbish server parts on the whole [22:37] (see the millions of pandaboard like things where the ethernet is usb based) [22:38] and generally any decent ammount of disk will be USB based as well [22:38] yeah [22:38] some boards have sata [22:38] but usually just one sata port [22:38] but generally not power over sata, so ... [22:39] .. and then there is the fact that a couple of the apps on my home server will need to be recompiled for the arm [22:42] what do you use the home server for? [22:44] the one that will catch me will be seafile [22:46] essentially it's mail server and file store (plus dhcp, dns, apt cache etc) [22:47] so no powerful cpu needed or video decoding [22:48] .. well not neccessarily .. currently the VIA C3 isn't that sort of machine so I haven't done anything there. [22:50] it could end up as a media server encode/decoder box [22:50] or steam streaming [22:52] yeah mythtv backend box [22:52] of course I could split that into multiple boxes etc [23:55] well that was boring
