=== JanC_ is now known as JanC [06:21] morning, all [06:21] morning ducasse :) [06:23] hey, EriC^^ - take any photos while i was sleeping? :) [06:23] hehe no :) [06:24] just thought you mentioned last night you wanted to take some night pics :) [06:24] what kind of camera is this new one you bought, anyway? [06:24] yeah i do, maybe today :) [06:25] it's a nikon 5300d [06:27] wow, that looks nice :) i was into photography when i was back in school, they had a darkroom that they let me use. haven't kept it up, though. [06:30] it seems like a nice hobby, sometimes when i drive in the morning or sunset the sky looks really nice and i think i wish i had a camera or something [06:32] yes it does, i really liked the darkroom work as well. not much of that these days :) === pavlushka_ is now known as pavlushka [06:34] sounds interesting [06:35] i recently just read about camera's and pictures and stuff [06:36] iso aperture and shutter speed [06:36] a friend of mine is a professional photographer, he used to do some really impressive work with making prints on highly specialized paper in various ways, it's a real art. [06:40] that's cool [06:42] i need to reinstall my server now, so i'll need to set up my mail services again. was thinking of putting it into an lxc container on a loop device to make it easy to back up and move around, any thoughts on that? [06:44] i've never used lxc containers, no idea [06:45] but it sounds simple enough? [06:46] you transport the whole mail service then transport it back? [06:46] ok, i'll ask for tips in #ubuntu-server, but since it has just one user i don't think performance should be a problem. [06:46] aha [06:47] no, i just replicate the config into a container so it is easy to move if i need to later, or for the next time i reinstall. [06:47] oh i see [06:49] the ideal scenario on a fresh install is to just let the installer run, set up zfs, and just start all my containers. [06:49] i've yet to delve into containers and virtualization and such [06:49] pretty eager to learn about these stuff, maybe some day [06:49] deployment, etc. after all if i hope to get a job in linux one day i'd need these stuff for sure [06:50] i really like both kvm and lxc, just started looking at lxc about six months back. it works really well. [06:50] i wish we had virt back when i was working in the indestry :) [06:50] *industry [06:52] cool, yeah it seems to open a lot of possibilities and stuff [06:54] yes, things like libvirt are just soooo nice to work with, also. /me <3 libvirt and zfs :) [06:55] :) [06:56] knowing how to work with libvirt would certainly help you get a job. lxd as well. [06:57] * EriC^^ will look into them [06:57] sometimes i wish we could do like the movie matrix and plug in all those info to our brains [06:57] lol, so much to learn, so little time [06:58] tip for EriC^^: one of the fedora sites, the one with all the docs, has a really good one on virtualization, how to work with virt-manager etc. [06:58] thank you :) [06:59] i'll check it out [07:00] all of the #ubuntu* collective knowledge would be really awesome :-D [07:00] lots of smart people here [07:00] yeah [07:01] what kind of laptop are you getting next week, btw? [07:02] i was thinking the msi prestige pe60 6qe , or the msi leopard pro gp62 6qe [07:06] i wish i could get both, it's a little difficult deciding on the color [07:06] i've never had a silver laptop before so i kind of want it, then again i'm used to good black laptops [07:07] is this a problem? https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=271163.0 [07:11] EriC^^: see discussion at bottom: http://www.linlap.com/msi_gp62_leopard_pro [07:13] seems doable [07:13] the nvidia/intel hybrid thing might be a hassle though [07:15] yes, it seems the 960m has/had a few problems with linux, but all the posts i can find are ~6 months old or older, so it might be fixed now. [07:16] yeah, many people come to the channel cause of hybrid graphics problems [07:16] amd is more straightforward i think [07:18] yes, but are you planning to game under linux? are the amd drivers good enough now? [07:18] nope no gaming [07:19] i want it for the i7 4 core honestly [07:20] oh, then you should be fine, i'd expect. i'd still probably avoid amd, but that's just me. [07:26] yeah amd isn't that great right now i think [13:08] Hiyas all
