[13:19] ColonelPanic001: yea he can't really. the VMs have to run full operating systems. he's using this laptop for a pen-testing cert [13:19] the problem is that he lives in hawaii and has to fly to the mainland and live in a hotel during the cert process [13:19] so he doesn't want a desktop or even a laptop that is above 15" because of portability [13:20] he also wants a dgpu because he wants to game while he's living in the hotel [13:45] mrgoodcat: You're going to want two drives [13:46] and 15" computer with two drives? That sounds like a unicorn. :) [13:47] yea i know [13:47] i had a 17 with 2 drives and dgpu [13:47] that thing was a monster [13:50] i'm sad the lightest system76 system is 3.6lb, but I want something 3 or less [13:51] you don't want system76. I love those guys but the laptops aren't all that great [13:51] I want to belive [13:51] but we bought a Dell [13:52] yea, I would love to and I keep looking at their stuff [13:52] but everyone I know iwth them (and we've got a few folks in canonical with them) they don't hold up or are as solid ootb as the thinkpads/etc [13:52] Well, Thinkpads are tanks [13:52] even the cheapies [13:53] shame Lenovo can't seem to leave well-enough alone. [13:56] s76 make good desktops at least [13:56] my X230 was perfect, it held two drives [13:56] but started to fall apart [13:56] hey X240 is a POS [13:58] yea, <3 the desktop I got from them [13:59] i've had a system76 before. I know they are just rebadged clevos sagers and whatever else garbage laptops there are. [13:59] <_stink_> rick_h_: you still actively woodworking? [13:59] _stink_: no, I still have my garage with tools but not had time to do it in some time [13:59] The only other linux laptop I've seen that looks good is XPS and I just cannot bring myself to buy a dell again. [13:59] _stink_: hoping to get back into it after the summer camping season is done [14:00] <_stink_> rick_h_: cool. i am thinking again about starting [14:00] jrwren: yea, xps I got was ok, but still ran back to thinkpads after < 1yr [14:00] _stink_: cool! what kind of stuff are you thinking? [14:00] _stink_: happy to talk shop any time [14:00] jrwren: We got one. It's quite nice [14:00] Dell upped their game [14:00] maybe i'll get an msft laptop and just suffer from things that don't work ;] [14:00] That Surface is a nice machine [14:01] MS makes great hardware when they want to [14:01] jrwren: ugh, good luck if you go that route [14:01] <_stink_> rick_h_: awesome - i have a built in bench/'cubby' thing to go in the front closet as first real project... probably with some boxy storage type stuff for the garage to work out the kinks first [14:01] jrwren: I need to reinstall on my surface and :/ at stuff still not working [14:01] <_stink_> rick_h_: i'd really like ot stay with unpowered tools [14:01] _stink_: definitely, happy to let you test drive anything. I've got a bunch of hand stuff [14:01] <_stink_> sweet! [14:10] -http://openmetalcast.com/2016/06/07/open-metalcast-episode-131-late-night-metal/ [16:22] nevermind the media, I'm going to exercise my democratic (sic) right and go vote today [16:23] http://us.dlink.com/business-solutions/free-10-gigabit-nic-card/ I don't know some people here might benefit from it [16:23] I wish I had money [16:33] greg-g: Stick it to the man [16:36] cmaloney: I wish [16:37] I wnat 10gigabit!!! [16:37] thanks Scary_Guy [16:37] http://www.amys.com/products/product-detail/indian-meals/000059 [16:38] hrm, nope, out of my price range [16:39] why is 10GE so $$$ [16:39] I never thought I'd see the day when an ethernet card needed a heat sink / fan [16:39] something consumer grade needs to pic it up to help drive cost down. Something like drobo. [16:39] now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time [16:40] I've seen it, but it didn't need it. It was some "extreme gaming" marketing BS NIC [16:40] err... who is that drobo that isn't slow? [16:40] drobo is slow? [16:40] drobo is fail, don't go near them [16:41] I always thought they looked neat [16:41] good to know [16:41] Drobo had a lot of issues [16:41] I don't know anyone that's had one and loved it over a long period of time [16:41] they went from advertising darlings to OMGWTF [16:41] they've got a great honeymoon period followed by pain [16:41] i've never heard of them being fast. [16:42] Synology is drobo fast and done right. [16:42] si si [16:44] bookmarked, thanks [16:44] synology inspired me to get better at using LVM and ever sense, I've loved my home server disk config. [16:44] I don't use synology, becuase I'd rather do it myself. [16:54] oh, this looked neat too http://ofmodemsandmen.com/index.html [16:56] very cool [17:29] synology or qnap are the best ones if you're prebuying [20:26] <_stink_> cmaloney: did you make a blank disk for saving source you wrote in merlin? [20:27] I just used that demo disk [20:27] thatI shared [20:29] I have yet to figure out how to make a blank disk under Linapple [20:31] <_stink_> ahh got it
