[06:08] <knightwise> morning
[06:10] <knightwise> join #xps13 #reddit
[07:07] <knightwise> mornign
[10:33] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[13:19] <mapps> hello;]
[13:19] <penguin42> hey
[13:20] <mapps> homeland finale tonight;D
[20:30] <diddledan__> another rocket going-up at 01:29 - this one from spacex and they're going to attempt another landing, this time back at launch site rather than a barge : http://www.spacex.com/webcast/
[20:31] <diddledan__> the video hasn't started yet tho
[20:31] <penguin42> I wonder why they decided not to go with the barge this time; a barge sounds like a much better place to land stuff
[20:32] <diddledan__> penguin42: less moving target :-p
[20:32] <diddledan__> that's a guess tho
[20:32] <diddledan__> I don't know the answer
[20:34] <penguin42> pity, their barges had nice names
[20:35]  * daftykins is playing with Server 2012 R2 and Hyper-V for a job at his old College
[20:35] <daftykins> damn it's horrible :P
[20:39] <diddledan__> heh
[20:40] <zmoylan-pi> they're running out of barges? :-P
[20:41] <diddledan__> yeah, torpedoing them doesn't help
[20:41] <zmoylan-pi> pesky nasa zeros? :-)
[20:42] <diddledan__> yeah. that and weirdo decimal points. and weirdo conversions between feet and cm
[20:42] <diddledan__> when working for nasa, always remember to not carry the 1
[20:42] <zmoylan-pi> we should all switch to smoots... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoot
[20:48] <diddledan__> I like that teh googs does smoots
[20:50] <daftykins> diddledan__: i think you just had a seizure mid-sentence there
[20:50] <diddledan__> lol
[20:51] <zmoylan-pi> no no 'e's trying to be hip, down and cool with the kids :-)
[20:53] <daftykins> i had him pegged for doing a voice artist try out for the chef on the muppets
[20:54] <zmoylan-pi> der smooty booty dooty?
[20:54] <daftykins> ho-hoo, careful with that talk around here ;)
[20:55] <zmoylan-pi> minds in the gutter...
[20:55] <diddledan__> haha
[20:55] <daftykins> i'll have you know i was expecting you to steal the last booty we plundered
[20:56] <diddledan__> der smooley doodey
[20:56] <diddledan__> ^ what my nephew is good at!
[20:56] <daftykins> i was about to suggest my cat had a paw in that one
[20:57] <diddledan__> pooley. dats der smooley doodey!
[20:57] <diddledan__> don't you love that the web was invented to facilitate the end of the world research (nuclear bombs)
[20:58] <diddledan__> (that's what cern is all about, right?) :-p
[20:58] <daftykins> makes me a tad con-cern'd
[21:01] <zmoylan-pi> it's what the cats would have wanted... :-)
[21:02] <diddledan__> well when we nuke ourselves to oblivion, the radiation will help the cockroaches to attain sentience
[21:02] <zmoylan-pi> i thought lawyers were sentient?
[21:33] <diddledan__> lol: https://twitter.com/meganamram/status/678688132640825344
[21:47] <daftykins> this is hilarious, to manage this Server 2012 R2 system i need a *second* one to put the management tools on
[21:50] <zmoylan-pi> so when poop hits the fan you need 2 working systems to fix things... brilliant... :-)
[21:54] <diddledan__> daftykins: you can put the management tools on a normal windows
[21:55] <daftykins> they advise against SCVMM being on the Hyper-V host
[21:55] <daftykins> so yeah a client console could be on a normal OS, but then SCVMM they talk about being on a VM (which is lulzworthy) or on another host
[21:55] <diddledan__> daftykins: http://blogs.technet.com/b/canitpro/archive/2015/09/03/rsat-tools-for-windows-10.aspx looks like you need pro though
[21:56] <diddledan__> oh scvmm
[21:56] <diddledan__> dang
[21:56] <zmoylan-pi> piddly little toy oses... :-)
[21:56] <diddledan__> wait, you put the management console in a machine that it's managing?
[21:56] <daftykins> yeah XD
[21:56] <diddledan__> inception!
[21:56] <daftykins> sounds like eggs and baskets eh?
[21:57] <zmoylan-pi> if it's a small installation it *should* be an ok thing to do...
[21:57] <daftykins> zmoylan-pi: and yep, i'd like to take them off windows server but would likely have an uphill battle from their own IT support department :(
[21:57] <penguin42> daftykins: Drop them into having win server as a guest under KVM ?
[21:58]  * zmoylan-pi remembers running company mail server on windows 95 plus our office wiki.  till it was all replaced with a small business server install that failed a few times per week...
[21:58] <zmoylan-pi> such a terrible os
[21:59] <daftykins> well the use-case is my old College, where groups of 12-16 students at a time (a class) would be setting up VMs to learn OS installs as part of a full Windows domain, and/or Linux and Windows desktop OSs
[21:59] <daftykins> i know what was on this big chunky server with oodles of RAM when i taught there 5 years ago, but i'm not sure if it's changed
[21:59] <daftykins> i would likely want to switch to running a free education license of vmware instead
[22:02] <daftykins> server becomes a drone box, maximise the use of resources on it instead of some silly Windows Server product... then just one client program at the other end to manage it
[22:02] <zmoylan-pi> that windows 95 server also held a bigfoot drive i found for all our office 'media'... such a faithful little server... :-)
[22:03] <diddledan__> haha, spain's "Popular Party" has won the election. That's a great name, like the "Tooting Popular Front"
[22:03] <zmoylan-pi> and not the peoples popular party...?
[22:03] <daftykins> XD
[22:03] <diddledan__> nor the popular people's party
[23:30] <penguin42> oh, they've delayed the launch
[23:30] <penguin42> https://j.mp/1UT9kB2
[23:30] <zmoylan-pi> they're waiting for lemon soaked napkins to be delivered?
[23:30] <penguin42> yes
