| wrst | Omnifrog: too late in the year for lawnmowers | 00:07 |
|---|---|---|
| Omnifrog | not here | 00:09 |
| Omnifrog | it's leaf season | 00:09 |
| Omnifrog | I'm in a ery wooded area | 00:10 |
| wrst | ahh | 00:10 |
| Omnifrog | very * | 00:10 |
| wrst | down with the lawnmowers | 00:10 |
| Omnifrog | my best push mower is running really fast and I cant figure out why | 00:11 |
| wrst | cyberanger: formatting this 3TB drive has proven to be a larger pain than I thought it would be :) | 00:17 |
| wrst | Omnifrog: maybe it is in a hurry? :\ | 00:17 |
| Omnifrog | heh | 00:18 |
| Omnifrog | why is the format a pain? | 00:18 |
| wrst | well I don't know | 00:18 |
| wrst | i set it up with gpt | 00:19 |
| wrst | and it should just work but I think I found a guide | 00:19 |
| wrst | but the drive was just showing around 750GB | 00:19 |
| Omnifrog | I'm not familiar with gpt | 00:20 |
| wrst | the partition table format | 00:22 |
| * wrst just knows the terms | 00:22 | |
| * wrst doesn't know what he is doing | 00:22 | |
| Omnifrog | I had no idea there was a new partition table format | 00:23 |
| Omnifrog | I'm reading about it now though | 00:23 |
| Omnifrog | ah... "MBR works with disks up to 2 TB in size, but it can’t handle disks with more than 2 TB of space. " | 00:24 |
| Omnifrog | http://www.howtogeek.com/193669/whats-the-difference-between-gpt-and-mbr-when-partitioning-a-drive/ | 00:24 |
| wrst | woo hoo! showing 2.7TB now | 00:25 |
| Omnifrog | not sure how I feel about the appropriation of the GUID acronym though | 00:27 |
| wrst | Omnifrog: what do you mean? | 00:30 |
| * wrst may be a bit dense and doesnt' realize it | 00:30 | |
| Omnifrog | “globally unique identifier,” or GUID | 00:30 |
| Omnifrog | as opposed to group user ID | 00:31 |
| wrst | ahh | 00:31 |
| wrst | I'm stuck in backup restore land... | 00:31 |
| wrst | moving my "server" to a more capable machine | 00:31 |
| Omnifrog | huh, a gpt has a redundant MBR | 00:36 |
| wrst | yeah, all I wanted to do was store a bunch of crap :) | 00:36 |
| Omnifrog | lol | 00:36 |
| wrst | why do you need a redundant MBR? | 00:36 |
| wrst | I figured if your MBR failed you have much problemos and the drive was likely toast | 00:37 |
| Omnifrog | GPT drives tend to include a “protective MBR.” This type of MBR says that the GPT drive has a single partition that extends across the entire drive. If you try to manage a GPT disk with an old tool that can only read MBRs, | 00:37 |
| Omnifrog | it will see a single partition that extends across the entire drive. The MBR ensures the old tools won’t mistake the GPT drive for an unpartitioned drive and overwrite its GPT data with a new MBR. | 00:37 |
| wrst | unless you are an idiot like me messing with stuff you don't know about | 00:37 |
| Omnifrog | In other words, the protective MBR protects the GPT data from being overwritten. | 00:37 |
| wrst | ahh | 00:37 |
| wrst | ok that makes sense | 00:37 |
| Omnifrog | that link I posted is worth a read if you want to know more about gpt | 00:37 |
| wrst | I probably should becuase the days of drives under 2 TB are probably few and far between other than SSDs and that won't be long | 00:38 |
| wrst | in the past I always just through my drive in a usb enclosure hooked it to my desktop and used gparted | 00:38 |
| wrst | but had to do this the oldschool way which is fine that's how I have always set up arch drives before on install | 00:39 |
| wrst | but took me a while to figure it all out | 00:39 |
| Omnifrog | when you mentioned gpt I thought it was a new version of gparted, heh | 00:40 |
| Omnifrog | then I looked it up | 00:40 |
| Omnifrog | dang, I must be living under a rock or something | 00:40 |
| Omnifrog | I blame it all the smoke | 00:41 |
| Omnifrog | blame it on* | 00:41 |
| Omnifrog | the air here looks like I'm in China | 00:42 |
| Omnifrog | I could look directly at the sun today | 00:42 |
| cyberanger | wrst skimming the backlog sounds like it's fixed now? | 01:03 |
| wrst | Omnifrog: smoke? | 01:03 |
| wrst | cyberanger: yes, had a couple steps I left out when formatting | 01:04 |
| Omnifrog | from all the wildfires | 01:04 |
| wrst | that's what I get for thinking I know what I'm doing | 01:04 |
| wrst | Omnifrog: yes we had smoke as far as cookeville a few days ago | 01:04 |
| cyberanger | Omnifrog heard it's mostly arsonists | 01:04 |
| cyberanger | Not natural | 01:04 |
| Omnifrog | it's been pretty continuously awful air quality for over a week here in Chattanooga | 01:05 |
| wrst | that is very disappointing | 01:05 |
| Omnifrog | arsonists and idiots burning leaves | 01:05 |
| Omnifrog | there are currently 59 wild fires in TN right now | 01:06 |
| Unit193 | Not me I haven't been there. | 01:06 |
| wrst | sure you ahven't Unit193... | 01:09 |
| wrst | Omnifrog: I don't recall it being this drive in the fall in well forever really | 01:09 |
| Omnifrog | it's not been this dry in my memorey either | 01:13 |
| Omnifrog | memory * | 01:13 |
| Omnifrog | the water table here is lower than anything in recorded history | 01:14 |
| wrst | we have been fortunate we haven't really bee so dry until the last 3-4 weeks | 01:15 |
| Omnifrog | I watered parts of the grass around the house for the first time in the last 20 years | 01:15 |
| Omnifrog | in the past I was happy to have it die back (less mowing for me) | 01:16 |
| Omnifrog | but this is ridiculous | 01:16 |
| wrst | no rain in the near future I don't think? | 01:19 |
| Omnifrog | probably not for the next 10 days of so | 01:21 |
| Omnifrog | this was the view on part of the property this evening and it's better than it had been all day http://imgur.com/a/scWZh | 01:24 |
| cyberanger | That's not counting NC, AL & GA | 01:26 |
| Omnifrog | yeah, they have their own fires to worry about | 01:34 |
| wrst | beautiful place Omnifrog, stinks it is close to a fire | 01:35 |
| Omnifrog | if fire gets near here it will be a really big problem | 01:35 |
| Omnifrog | there are no fire hydrants near here | 01:36 |
| wrst | hopefully you won't need them | 02:49 |
| Omnifrog | are you using xchat wrst ? | 03:35 |
| wrst | Omnifrog: no I'm using quassel, was actually just moving the core to a new server | 03:35 |
| Omnifrog | oh, quassel. nevermind | 03:35 |
| wrst | I like the client/core setup | 03:36 |
| Omnifrog | yeah, I just saw the join message | 03:36 |
| wrst | can connect from anywhere, on anything | 03:36 |
| wrst | I know znc or the like will do it but quassel is a super easy setup | 03:36 |
| Omnifrog | I've used quassel before | 03:36 |
| Omnifrog | I really don't have a need for it though | 03:36 |
| Unit193 | What if you never want to miss a second of IRC? | 03:37 |
| Omnifrog | that would have been true in past years | 03:39 |
| Omnifrog | back when I was using quassel | 03:39 |
| wrst | ha ha Omnifrog for me now I just have a setup I like so I just carry it over to wherever I'm hosting something | 03:40 |
| Omnifrog | I've been backing my way off the internet over the last few years | 03:40 |
| Unit193 | I use the internet to communicate with people I like. | 03:43 |
| Omnifrog | ok, I should clarify. I'm backing out of "social media" | 03:47 |
| Omnifrog | and some chatrooms | 03:49 |
| wrst | social media is pretty much stupid | 04:20 |
| wrst | for the most part | 04:20 |
| wrst | or at least around election season | 04:23 |
| Unit193 | I don't get on FB, haven't for years. | 04:29 |
| Omnifrog | I killed my FB years ago | 04:29 |
| wrst | I still have it but not proud of it | 04:36 |
| Unit193 | My sister stopped using it this/last year. \o/ | 04:36 |
| minasota | hmm, for some reason Papa John's and Dominoes cannot take online orders... | 21:27 |
| minasota | Both are having "technical difficulties" | 21:28 |
| minasota | Damn, Russians lol | 21:48 |
| wrst | first the elections, now pizza, they have gone too far this time | 21:53 |
| minasota | time for a riot :p | 21:58 |
| wrst | ! yes | 22:27 |
| * minasota can't make the "peaceful protest"... he's too full now. Time for a nap :) | 23:12 | |
