| daftykins | Azelphur: did you check the SMART table on that disk? :> | 00:12 |
|---|---|---|
| Azelphur | daftykins: NO, STAY AWAY FROM MY DRIVES | 00:12 |
| Azelphur | daftykins: hehe, yea I had a look, but it doesn't seem so bad | 00:13 |
| daftykins | :D | 00:14 |
| daftykins | fancy sharing a paste? :> smartctl -a /dev/sda naturally | 00:14 |
| Azelphur | daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14500056/ opinions? | 00:16 |
| daftykins | oh SSD anyway | 00:16 |
| daftykins | small EVO :( | 00:25 |
| * diddledan EVO lves | 00:25 | |
| daftykins | well as long as you keep it backed up :D | 00:25 |
| diddledan | I've got a 1TB EVO 840 and a 500GB EVO 850 :-p | 00:26 |
| daftykins | Azelphur: looks like you're behind on the firmware | 00:26 |
| Azelphur | diddledan: I've got 1TB EVO 850 and a 120GB 840 EVO | 00:27 |
| Azelphur | daftykins: yea, I've never upgraded it | 00:27 |
| daftykins | i'd be willing to bet that spot's charge dropped enough that it wasn't so easily readable, marking the disk as needing an fsck | 00:27 |
| daftykins | ah well the 840 EVOs had an issue identified that means the latest firmware periodically rewrites given cells to prolong/boost their readability | 00:27 |
| diddledan | yeah I upgraded the firmware on my 840 | 00:28 |
| Azelphur | guess I should too | 00:28 |
| daftykins | that smartctl speaks of EXT0BB6Q whilst the site has EXT0DB6Q :> | 00:28 |
| daftykins | http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/minisite/SSD/downloads/software/Samsung_SSD_840_PRO_Series_DXM06B0Q_Win_Mac.iso | 00:28 |
| Azelphur | is it easy to upgrade the FW on a Linux machine? | 00:29 |
| diddledan | hmm | 00:29 |
| diddledan | no idea | 00:29 |
| daftykins | well that appears to be a bootable ISO | 00:30 |
| daftykins | i was on - http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/minisite/SSD/global/html/support/downloads.html | 00:30 |
| m0nkey_ | I see Tim will be going for his spacewalk tomorrow :) | 00:48 |
| m0nkey_ | Who'd ever think a Sussex born and bred lad would go up to the ISS. | 00:48 |
| arsenip | hah | 00:50 |
| arsenip | i met him once or twice ;d | 00:50 |
| m0nkey_ | I don't have that sort of claim, I'm just proud that somebody from Sussex is now floating around in space :) | 00:51 |
| arsenip | well, i understan he was a good pilot, he was an apache test pilot on the base i was attached to. | 00:55 |
| daftykins | ooh | 01:00 |
| daftykins | fancy | 01:00 |
| arsenip | i assume apache anyway, there were only two army guys, and i met both - and we only had apaches at the time i think. | 01:03 |
| arsenip | anywho - pretty cool | 01:03 |
| arsenip | portsmouth uni alumni too, daftykins ;) | 01:04 |
| daftykins | that poor, poor... | 01:05 |
| daftykins | i'm amazed that wasn't an instant disqualification ;) | 01:05 |
| arsenip | hah. | 01:06 |
| diddledan | it's crazy that 8GB of ram isn't enough to run OSX with a windows 10 VM | 01:07 |
| daftykins | how is it not? that seems simple | 01:09 |
| diddledan | because with a 2GB VM I run out of ram | 01:10 |
| diddledan | i.e. my mac starts having issues with swapping and compressed ram | 01:11 |
| diddledan | and the "memory pressure" graph goes right to the top | 01:11 |
| daftykins | did you already have a tonne of junk running on the host? | 01:16 |
| diddledan | well I use the host for things, yeah | 01:22 |
| daftykins | not quite what i meant :P | 01:22 |
| diddledan | shutting everything I'm working with down just because I need a windows utility seems a bit... counter producting | 01:23 |
| diddledan | productive* | 01:23 |
| diddledan | there's no point it being a VM in that case, I might as well dual boot | 01:24 |
| daftykins | well it'd be pretty obvious based on use whether something is gonna work well or not isn't it | 01:24 |
| daftykins | time for more RAM :) | 01:24 |
| diddledan | yeah. more ram means new mac. these have the ram soldered on the board | 01:24 |
| daftykins | ah, they're evil for that | 01:24 |
| diddledan | I'm far too scared to consider resoldering! :-p | 01:25 |
| daftykins | i wouldn't be surprised if that wasn't even an option | 01:26 |
| daftykins | also what happened to that surface of yours? :) | 01:28 |

| foobarry | the evernote login page really annoys me | 10:26 |
| foobarry | they never remember your settings and have these annoying people with gummy smiles | 10:26 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: here is an odd one for your day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3l0kpl5tA4 | 10:28 |
| popey | foobarry, ditto | 10:29 |
| JamesTait | davmor2, marks for originality. | 10:32 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: trying for a nice tune with a hat that wasn't obvious :) That one sprang to mind :D | 10:33 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: I think not playing anything by men without hats is a good bet too | 10:35 |
| davmor2 | JamesTait: that is this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NytXT-U-tg | 10:36 |
| davmor2 | there is even | 10:47 |
| foobarry | has anyone come across guix? | 10:52 |
| foobarry | its an alternate package manager and software distribution that sits under its own tree | 10:53 |
| foobarry | allegedly useful for providing up to date gnu binaries on centos | 10:53 |
| foobarry | which are sometimes required to build stuff | 10:53 |
| popey | yeah, vaguely | 11:00 |
| popey | based on Nix isn't it? | 11:00 |
| foobarry | i dunno. users are asking for it for hpc | 11:01 |
| foobarry | a bit wary if they use guix tools as dependency for their tools, due to their continuous updating nature | 11:02 |
| davmor2 | foobarry: would likely cause a lot of system issues if they suddenly land gcc5 on a system built for 4.x too maybe | 11:04 |
| foobarry | its all contained in one fieltree | 11:04 |
| foobarry | and doesn't touch /usr/ | 11:04 |
| foobarry | however i'm rather wary of it all | 11:05 |
| diplo | I'd be setting up a VM test and try it out myself | 11:07 |
| foobarry | its rather a long term concern | 11:07 |
| foobarry | and how users will depend on it | 11:07 |
| foobarry | http://elephly.net/posts/2015-04-17-gnu-guix.html | 11:08 |
| foobarry | this guy is for it | 11:08 |
| foobarry | however his arguments for it seem also to be the arugments against it | 11:09 |
| diplo | Is it defo needed though or a ncie to have I guess is the point you need to decide on | 11:09 |
| foobarry | we provide updated versions of tools manually via modules commands | 11:09 |
| foobarry | its kind of the devops side effect of users wanting more while bypassing the ops guys | 11:10 |
| diplo | So a very very very quick overview, it basically lets users run new versions of stuff but not affect others | 11:10 |
| diplo | Doing things like virtualenv etc | 11:10 |
| foobarry | provides newest gnu packages that might not be in your distro | 11:11 |
| foobarry | however we do a lot of that ourselves via modules | 11:11 |
| diplo | It sounds to me like you're on your way to doing what is required, just need to keep on top of it for them and over what they need? | 11:13 |
| foobarry | i think the solution probably lies in understanding their requirements better | 11:13 |
| foobarry | what tools they claim to require | 11:13 |
| diplo | yeah I was meant to put that at the end of my sentence :D | 11:20 |
| foobarry | vagrant .deb is 70MB !! | 12:00 |

| popey | yeah, can't play amazon video on chromecast, and can't play google stuff on amazon fire | 15:32 |
| foobarry | sucks | 15:33 |
| popey | mind you, my chromecast isn't needed much now i have a telly that has smarts | 15:33 |
| foobarry | i am slowly converting all my dvds | 15:34 |
| foobarry | my dvd shelf is really hard to access | 15:34 |
| Laney | I prefer using the Chromecast over Samsung's shitty smart TV OS | 16:11 |
