| cfhowlett | yeah, I'm pretty pleased with the outcome. | 12:41 |

| cfhowlett | one of their designers made "fire wheel" for us | 12:41 |
| lotuspsychje | yeah that one is cool | 12:41 |
| cfhowlett | remember "how fast does your PC boot" video from a few years back? that guy did the lego ubuntustudio wallpaper | 12:42 |

| lotuspsychje | i was looking for a promo ubuntu video like that, but longer | 12:44 |
| cfhowlett | hey, send your request to #ubuntustudio! | 12:45 |
| EriC^^ | perfect one would be like 1 sec boot | 12:45 |
| EriC^^ | pc is started, ubuntu loads | 12:45 |
| lotuspsychje | EriC^^: lol with all the ssd's lately | 12:45 |
| EriC^^ | then it says in the middle of the screen "Yeah, that just happened" | 12:45 |
| cfhowlett | I think my dell m3800 has a 3 second boot screen | 12:45 |
| lotuspsychje | wow | 12:45 |
| lotuspsychje | plymouth doesnt stand a chance then! | 12:45 |
| EriC^^ | my arch install is really quick to boot | 12:46 |
| lotuspsychje | this is why we love linux so much :p | 12:46 |
| lotuspsychje | EriC^^: did you tweak fstab also? | 12:47 |
| EriC^^ | no | 12:47 |
| EriC^^ | it's on a usb too | 12:47 |
| lotuspsychje | EriC^^: ah yeah, you told me earlier | 12:47 |
| lotuspsychje | EriC^^: no bottlenecks? | 12:47 |
| EriC^^ | it freezes sometimes (many times) | 12:47 |
| EriC^^ | i dont use it though so it's ok | 12:48 |
| lotuspsychje | for a take-away Os might serve some good | 12:48 |
| lotuspsychje | EriC^^: im planning to make an ubuntu pentest box also | 12:49 |
| lotuspsychje | EriC^^: install all official/available pentesting packages on it | 12:49 |
| EriC^^ | aha | 12:49 |
| lotuspsychje | EriC^^: might be handy to find security holes on the road on networks | 12:50 |
| EriC^^ | yeah, any news on the barebones? | 12:51 |
| lotuspsychje | EriC^^: well for now i got like 3 companys with interest laptopsplus.nl bto.com and nexoc | 12:53 |
| lotuspsychje | EriC^^: but all prices are rather high for barebones | 12:53 |
| lotuspsychje | EriC^^: https://www.bto.eu/alle-laptops.html | 12:55 |
| lotuspsychje | EriC^^: https://www.laptopplus.nl/categorieen/laptops | 12:56 |
| EriC^^ | lotuspsychje: why don't you get a hp laptop with a ssd installed that you want + no os if possible? | 12:58 |
| lotuspsychje | EriC^^: from where | 12:58 |
| lotuspsychje | EriC^^: most configurators doesnt have the samsung 850 pro | 13:00 |
| EriC^^ | it says laptop hdd's add $50 | 13:00 |
| lotuspsychje | that one got 10 years warranty | 13:00 |
| lotuspsychje | so i only want that type inside | 13:01 |
| lotuspsychje | from 128 till 1gig | 13:01 |
| EriC^^ | hmm | 13:03 |
| lotuspsychje | EriC^^: i also cant buy windows pre-installed pc's because ill brake warranty by opening the case putting ssd myself | 13:03 |
| EriC^^ | there's some really cheap stuff on alibaba | 13:03 |
| lotuspsychje | and own Os | 13:03 |
| EriC^^ | http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Ultra-Slim-13-3-Laptop-Without_60151092503.html?spm=a2700.7724857.29.73.Sx4eOG | 13:03 |
| lotuspsychje | lets c | 13:03 |
| EriC^^ | i wonder if you hit this guy up, for like 10 how much they'll cost | 13:03 |
| EriC^^ | i think they're like $100/laptop or something | 13:03 |
| lotuspsychje | wow | 13:04 |
| EriC^^ | they're pretty much i'd guess | 13:05 |
| EriC^^ | looks like a dell / hp knock-off | 13:05 |
| lotuspsychje | EriC^^: what if if warrant, i have to send them back to china? | 13:05 |
| EriC^^ | http://message.alibaba.com/msgsend/contact.htm?action=contact_action&domain=1&id=60151092503&id_f=IDX1eRWjQbt1RWJzqZeRHQFGSa6puqEpy3x3lzKAKFAZt80hfRJ2JLla7wO3P-yvJvV0&mloca=main_en_detail&tracelog=tracedetailfeedback&umidToken=Bd5a2dfddcc01a809dbdf993d3713c2a2 | 13:05 |
| EriC^^ | i dont think they have a warranty | 13:05 |
| EriC^^ | it's like $100 / laptop :p | 13:06 |
| lotuspsychje | right | 13:06 |
| EriC^^ | if it's ok quality then why not | 13:06 |
| EriC^^ | get 10 for like $1000 | 13:06 |
| lotuspsychje | EriC^^: lol | 13:06 |
| EriC^^ | and see how they hold up | 13:06 |
| lotuspsychje | EriC^^: well i dont wanna be the cheapest around, but have some cheaper models also | 13:07 |
| lotuspsychje | EriC^^: i need in the first place a quick reseller, that can send me stuff in 1-2 days | 13:07 |
| EriC^^ | well yeah, i mean if the quality is acceptable | 13:07 |
| EriC^^ | cause anyways the others aren't brands | 13:07 |
| EriC^^ | and if this is like the same as hp stuff | 13:08 |
| EriC^^ | then why not | 13:08 |
| lotuspsychje | indeed | 13:08 |
| lotuspsychje | ill have to think this trough a bit | 13:08 |
| lotuspsychje | i dont wanna be like system76 for sure | 13:08 |
| EriC^^ | cause i went to get parts for my laptop once, and the guy gave me a cheap part that was very cheap | 13:08 |
| lotuspsychje | high end, high prices | 13:08 |
| EriC^^ | so i was surprised at the price and thought it's not good | 13:09 |
| EriC^^ | and he said all the parts are chinese anyways, even in the original, it's all chinese | 13:09 |
| lotuspsychje | yeah think system76 is alos taiwan or korea | 13:10 |
| lotuspsychje | also | 13:10 |
| EriC^^ | you could have some cheap models | 13:10 |
| EriC^^ | and also more expensive ones | 13:10 |
| lotuspsychje | EriC^^: hmm good idea to combine | 13:10 |
| EriC^^ | dont depend on quick reseller | 13:11 |
| lotuspsychje | EriC^^: why's that | 13:11 |
| EriC^^ | it's better to have the stuff there always like ahead by a little of your usual orders | 13:11 |
| EriC^^ | like you get 7-10 a week, you make sure you have like 12 or so always | 13:12 |
| EriC^^ | per week | 13:12 |
| lotuspsychje | EriC^^: well in business school they teach us, to have 0 stock | 13:12 |
| EriC^^ | first costumers love quick responses | 13:12 |
| lotuspsychje | EriC^^: as brands get out of date fast, and if nobody wants them anymore= loose money | 13:12 |
| EriC^^ | second the reseller might not be able to ship or something then you take longer to ship | 13:13 |
| EriC^^ | it looks bad on you | 13:13 |
| lotuspsychje | right | 13:13 |
| EriC^^ | hmm dunno anything about business (like any classes or education) | 13:13 |
| EriC^^ | but it makes sense to like keep ahead of stuff | 13:14 |
| lotuspsychje | EriC^^: well the more of stock one has, the more passive money it is | 13:14 |
| lotuspsychje | is what they teached us | 13:14 |
| EriC^^ | especially since you wont be making custom stuff | 13:14 |
| lotuspsychje | EriC^^: well im surely gonna have always 10 ssd's in house | 13:14 |
| lotuspsychje | EriC^^: as i will be doing upgrades of existing w1n machines | 13:15 |
| EriC^^ | yeah i think it wont be bad | 13:15 |
| lotuspsychje | EriC^^: convincing right for 100-200 new fast laptop with ubuntu | 13:15 |
| EriC^^ | they'll always sell you know | 13:15 |
| EriC^^ | i'd keep like 2-3 at least more than usual order | 13:16 |
| lotuspsychje | ok bbl mate coffee time | 13:16 |
| lotuspsychje | tnx for the hints EriC^^ | 13:16 |
| EriC^^ | i think first it'll be a little hard then you'll have it down to a science almost | 13:16 |
| EriC^^ | once you start selling and stuff | 13:16 |
| EriC^^ | sure | 13:17 |
| EriC^^ | :p | 13:17 |
| lotuspsychje | ;p | 13:17 |
| Bashing-om | Made a system change, rebooting to see that the change takes effect. brb . | 22:10 |
