[04:04] <netritious> howdy wrst
[20:24] <netritious> TGIF
[20:26] <netritious> how's every one doing?
[20:26] <netritious> let's get this party started!
[20:27] <Juzzy> :D
[20:27]  * netritious takes off shirt, but realizes no one can see
[20:27] <Juzzy> >.<
[20:28] <netritious> can't unread it Juzzy
[20:29] <Juzzy> http://www.hax.nu/linux/improving-cheap-dvr-camera-systems
[20:29] <Juzzy> posted my dvr scripts to create thumbs n shit
[20:30] <netritious> nice
[20:33] <netritious> ffmpeg is the bomb
[20:36] <bwmaker> I've heard good things about ffmpeg.
[20:36] <bwmaker> Never used it myself, though.
[20:37] <netritious> hey bwmaker
[20:39] <bwmaker> Howdy, netritious
[20:43] <netritious> so what is everyone running nowadays? I'm on 14.04 with gnome? I think. It's not unity or KDE.
[20:43] <netritious> I'm pretty sure I installed with defaults then installed gnome.
[20:52] <netritious_> whoops
[20:56] <netritious> so I locked my screen to switch users so I could see what my DE was set to and got whole bunch of nope
[20:57] <netritious> Gnome Flashback (Compiz)
[21:03] <Juzzy> de?
[21:04] <Juzzy> i have a 15.05 waiting patiently for 16.04 to be released
[21:04] <netritious> DE = desktop environment
[21:05] <Juzzy> ah
[21:05] <Unit193> ...15.04?
[21:06] <Juzzy> ya
[21:06] <Juzzy> ubuntu 15.04
[21:07] <Unit193> That's already EOL, mate.
[21:07] <Juzzy> ? thought it was 18m
[21:08] <Unit193> http://ubottu.com/y/vivid
[21:08] <netritious> I too thought non-LTS was 18 months
[21:09] <Juzzy> well repo's still work
[21:10] <Unit193> netritious: It changed a bit back.
[21:10] <Juzzy> ah
[21:10] <Juzzy> as long as they dont move repos to old-releases heh
[21:11] <Juzzy> upgrading to wily to be safe
[21:11] <Unit193> Also while the repos might work, they don't get updated.  So you likely still are affected by the glibc bug.
[21:11] <Juzzy> amungst other bugs
[21:11] <Juzzy> I just use it for my chef development
[21:12] <netritious> I think I've been out of the loop by sticking to LTS
[21:12] <netritious> although personally, I've never had much luck with the non-LTS versions
[21:12] <Juzzy> jeez wtf
[21:12] <Juzzy> Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS
[21:12] <Juzzy> Trusty Tahr
[21:12] <Juzzy> Changes
[21:12] <Juzzy> August 6, 2015
[21:12] <Juzzy> HWE August 2016
[21:12] <Juzzy> 2 years until eol?!
[21:13] <netritious> I always break something I can't figure out how to fix with non-LTS lol
[21:13] <Juzzy> we're moving quickly to fully automating out spinups and stuff
[21:13] <netritious> nice
[21:14] <netritious> did you roll your own or what tools are you using Juzzy?
[21:14] <Unit193> netritious: Hah, I never stick to LTS on desktops, and even on the server I've supplemented it.
[21:15] <netritious> Unit193: I'm sure it's just me since most i know run current, LTS or not, and have no problems.
[21:42] <bwmaker> I'm still on 14.04 because the wpa supplicant was upgraded afterward and basically broke all wifi at work. :-(
[21:42] <bwmaker> I couldn't figure out how to downgrade it successfully, either.
[21:45] <netritious> I strongly dislike it when I run into those problems heh
[21:49] <netritious> I like my OS to just work.
[21:49] <netritious>  I have many hobbies I enjoy and spending time fixing computers isn't one of them.
[21:53] <netritious> It doesn't matter though. Family dropped off borked Windows 8 laptop. Said no to Linux. :/
[22:00] <bwmaker> Boo.
[22:04] <netritious> I know.
[22:04] <Juzzy> netritious: ya rolled out own, I'm considering writing a book on it but half will change before I could complete it
[22:05] <Juzzy> our*
[22:12] <netritious> nice. did you go OpenStack? VMware? No wait, AWS! :D
[22:17] <Juzzy> last 2
[22:29] <netritious> very cool
[22:31] <netritious> I just upgraded to workstation 12. I'm a little disappointed that support for linux and Unity mode is now deprecated.
[22:32] <minasota> netritious: My main OS is osx. I run a lot of stuff in virtual box. After years of linux as my main os I got tired of constantly making it work
[22:33] <minasota> My vps runs Ubuntu 14.04 which is fine with me. I'm trying out FreeBSD and PC-BSD atm
[22:35] <netritious> minasota: the last time I owned an apple was when I played Oregon Trail, Where in the World is Carmen Sandiago(?), and learned BASIC heh
[22:36] <minasota> heh, you've got dysentery
[22:36] <netritious> lol
[22:36] <netritious> did I just read freebsd?
[22:36] <minasota> I loved that game. I remember playing it on an AppleII I believe, in elementary school
[22:37] <minasota> yeah
[22:37] <netritious> oh s%^&, about to be some bromance up in here
[22:38] <netritious> unless you are a woman and then we just have to be good freinds j/k of course
[22:38] <netritious> I have had a very long on and off again love affair with freebsd
[22:39] <minasota> I'm still learning it but I like what I see so far. It just seems to make sense to me
[22:39] <netritious> it's a study for certain, but totally worth it when configured properly
[22:40] <minasota> yeah, it seems to be more mature (not sure if that's the right word) than linux. Different thinking I suppose
[22:41] <minasota> Better structured and documented maybe? Hard to describe. But I like it
[22:42] <netritious> no, you've nailed it on the head.
[22:43] <netritious> I used to hang out at #freebsdhelp on efnet a really really long time ago.
[22:44] <minasota> I mentioned this before, but I like the implementation of "jails"
[22:44] <minasota> It goes beyond chroot environments
[22:44] <netritious> the original virtual environment
[22:46] <minasota> 10.2 has added some features to it. I've been reading the "handbook" like a kid with a new toy
[22:47] <minasota> but yeah, pretty cool virtual environment that is more secure
[22:47] <netritious> I don't like how slowly new wireless drivers for AP mode are implemented though.
[22:47] <minasota> yeah, that was one of the first things I researched. At some point I want to make a full transition
[22:48] <minasota> Sounds crazy to ditch osx for bsd... but I like the freedom I suppose
[22:48] <netritious> are you using binary packages with pkg_add, or are you using ports/portage?
[22:49] <minasota> both, I used ports to pull some *nix stuff I like to use. I know jack about vi or vim. I needed nano lol
[22:50] <netritious> lol
[22:50] <minasota> and pc-updatemanger I think it the other?
[22:51] <netritious> Sounds new, but it's been some years for me.
[22:52] <netritious> I run pfSense, and have for years, and that's the closest thing to freebsd I have around.
[22:52] <minasota> http://web.pcbsd.org/doc-archive/10.2/html/update.html#using-the-cli-pkg-utilities   look at 7.3.3. Manual Updates (CLI Method)
[22:55] <minasota> I cut my teeth on PC-BSD since it's FeeBSD with a gui already installed
[22:55] <minasota> Now I'm using FreeBSD and going thru creating the environment on my own.
[23:36] <netritious> oh nice...10.1 supports UEFI. Didn't know.
[23:41] <minasota> yeah, so, "technically" I can install on a mackbook pro I have that is "old"
