| netritious | wrst: nothing really new atm, just working a lot with lxc/lxd in 16.04 on aws. | 05:56 |
|---|---|---|
| netritious | for x in ns web mail db; do lxc pause $x; lxc snapshot $x; lxc start $x; lxc exec $x -- sudo apt-get update -q && sudo apt-get upgrade -y && reboot; done | 06:00 |
| netritious | whoops, forgot "sleep 5;" between "lxc start $x;" and "lxc exec $x ..." | 06:01 |
| wrst | all greek to me netritious :) | 11:30 |
| netritious | wrst: just a one-liner that loops through the list of containers and runs apt-get to update and upgrade | 15:20 |
| wrst | I do good to just keep one thing updated :) | 15:24 |
| netritious | lol wrst | 15:39 |
| wrst | netritious: I just built a new-ish desktop at home had a mini itx case bought a motherboard, ram and a celeron processor, I must say who needs an I7 to run a web broswer :) | 16:02 |
| wrst | so I am decidedly low tech | 16:02 |
| netritious | sounds like the perfect desktop for web browsing wrst :) | 16:05 |
| wrst | netritious: it is a gaming rig for me, quake 2 based games rock on it | 16:06 |
| wrst | running 1997 software on 2008 hardware :) | 16:18 |
| netritious | nice wrst! | 17:02 |
| netritious | Almost forgot, got the first family chromebook yesterday! Actually for my daughter for krimas, but I will be checking it out thoroughly! | 17:05 |
| netritious | 10" Asus flipbook, which recently got access to google play store for android. Bought factory refurbished for $200 including shipping. | 17:07 |
| wrst | nice netritious, does the play store stuff work well? | 17:08 |
| netritious | not sure yet wrst, havent had a chance to play with it | 17:30 |
| wrst | my mom's chromebook should be getting that soon | 17:57 |
| wrst | it is on the earlier path to it on stable | 17:57 |
| wrst | I wanted to put her on the dev channel but figured for my mom not a good idea :) | 17:57 |
| netritious | heh probably a good call wrst | 17:59 |
| wrst | I have heard that the dev update channel is more stable than windows 10 i'm not for sure if that is a comliment or not really | 17:59 |
| * cyberanger had bashed his head over two chromebooks, a bad IIS server & a WatchGuard content filter | 18:00 | |
| wrst | good afternoon cyberanger | 18:00 |
| wrst | how's life treating you? | 18:00 |
| cyberanger | afternoon | 18:00 |
| cyberanger | Hanging in there | 18:01 |
| wrst | that much is good | 18:02 |
| netritious | cyberanger: you working a windows shop? | 18:08 |
| netritious | *work in | 18:08 |
| cyberanger | No, the IIS server was Salvation Army's for the Southern territory, the cromebooks' are our location's, and the filter is the mall we're taking angel tree applications at. | 18:10 |
| cyberanger | And of course since IIS wasn't sending MIME-type back, the WatchGuard filter blocked it, and I had to fight getting OpenVPN to work on the chromebook (it's a little more involved than your typical openvpn setup) | 18:13 |
| cyberanger | and later a Vista computer and another that was Vista or 7 was added, I had no admin rights to these computers (I had the permission to fix the issue, just not the access at that time) so finally I just setup a reverse proxy in the same Atlanta datacenter as their server and called it good. | 18:14 |
| cyberanger | It's been a fun week. | 18:16 |
| netritious | "IT is fun they said..." | 18:22 |
| netritious | showed my daughter the wintel compute stick and she said "Dad, you know I have expensive taste." lol Girl you live in MS. | 18:26 |
| cyberanger | So did Elvis | 18:26 |
| netritious | Have you been to Graceland cyberanger? | 18:27 |
| cyberanger | No, at least not yet | 18:27 |
| cyberanger | Last two times I was in Memphis was for FedEx | 18:28 |
| netritious | I admit my daughter is spoiled a bit when it comes to tech. | 18:28 |
| netritious | You aren't missing anything. No one that lives here goes, and if they do it's a free school trip. | 18:28 |
| cyberanger | lol | 18:29 |
| netritious | So is there anything I need to know now that I'll have a chromebook to manage? | 18:30 |
| netritious | can i put ubuntu on it (easily)? | 18:30 |
| cyberanger | Don't know, after realizing the mess I had on my hands I just setup a server in the same datacenter with nginx as a reverse proxy | 18:31 |
| netritious | roger. this is the chromebook: goo.gl/sf7EuK | 18:33 |
| netritious | not from BB though. | 18:33 |
| wrst | netritious: I did some research on ubuntu and chromebooks but my info is probably old | 19:01 |
| netritious | looks like crouton lets me use ubuntu on a chromebook: goo.gl/C9OVjs | 19:02 |
| wrst | great thing if you leave chrome on there, and you trust the great google gods, there is really nothing you have to do it downloads upates and will let you know if you need to reboot | 19:02 |
| wrst | I hear crouton works well | 19:02 |
| netritious | I'm fine with chrome, I just like options :) | 19:05 |
| wrst | I think it is a good option, but I think there is some risk at bricking something another on boot or something or was at one time | 19:06 |
| netritious | I promise to be careful mom :D | 19:14 |
| netritious | looks like crouton uses chroots though so not exactly dual booting. | 19:16 |
| netritious | I probably won't mess with any of that though unless there is something my daughter wants to do that Chomreos won't let her do heh | 19:18 |
| wrst | with the android apps I think it will do most things | 19:29 |
| wrst | and get free word and excel which is pretty neat | 19:30 |
| netritious | exactly. right now she has a 5 year old laptop with win7 and a non-working screen, but working vga port. | 19:45 |
| netritious | ...connected to her tv. let's just say she doesn't use it much. | 19:48 |
| netritious | loves her phone though, which is android ofc. | 19:48 |
| wrst | nice, she will love that chromebook setup then | 20:45 |
| minasota | Anyone else upset about the Mets losing? It's all good though, I think this year is the year for the Cubs... | 21:57 |
