| MooDoo | hello all | 08:27 |
| diplo | Anyone use Nagios to monitor if a process has been running for a certain amount of time ~? | 10:16 |
| diplo | Using check_proc_age from the exchange via check_by_ssh but it seems hit and miss whether it works or not | 10:17 |
| diplo | Also tried check_procs -t INTERVAL or something that works locally ok but doesn't seem to work well otherwise | 10:17 |
| diplo | We have a process that gets stuck everynow and then, can't track the cause yet so want to be alerted of it. | 10:18 |

| popey | haha | 12:49 |
| popey | i bought one red, one blue and one black so I know what kind of pi is in each one | 12:51 |
| popey | then I remembered I had a labeller :) | 12:51 |
| zmoylan-pi | i use a sharpie marker... dead handy | 12:57 |

| popey | i wondered what we were waiting for, not disappointed | 12:59 |
| foobarry | it will look uhly when all connected | 13:00 |
| foobarry | probably won't use wifi | 13:00 |
| popey | did you get heat sinks for them? | 13:00 |
| foobarry | noooo | 13:00 |
| foobarry | will i need them? | 13:00 |
| popey | dunno, i did as a precaution on mine | 13:00 |
| popey | because a few of them run flat out a lot of the time | 13:00 |
| foobarry | which ones did you buy pls? | 13:00 |
| popey | figured it was a cheap way to protect them, as they sometimes get quite hot | 13:01 |
| popey | just some cheapo ones off amazon, bag o' heatsinks | 13:01 |
| popey | there's some rated badly and another lot which are rated better, go for them | 13:01 |
| popey | you get like 10 in a pack, of the two sizes | 13:01 |
| foobarry | especially for pi? | 13:01 |
| popey | so you'd probbaly need 2-3 bags | 13:01 |
| popey | yes | 13:01 |
| popey | https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/a37/Mudder-Piece-Aluminum-Heatsink-Cooler-Cooling-Raspberry/B01DLQIMPE | 13:02 |
| popey | that kinda thing | 13:02 |
| popey | peel & stick. done. | 13:02 |
| zmoylan-pi | i thought the pi 3 got a bit warm? | 13:02 |
| foobarry | how many are used per pi? | 13:03 |
| popey | two, one big, one small, there is a pic of one in that listing | 13:03 |
| popey | last photo | 13:03 |
| foobarry | ah, so i need 2 packs of https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mudder-Aluminum-Heatsink-Cooling-Raspberry/dp/B01LXWK626/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1497531709&sr=8-3&keywords=pi+heatsinks | 13:03 |
| popey | it's odd numbers in that pack. 2 big ones, four little | 13:04 |
| popey | which will only do 2 pis | 13:04 |
| foobarry | that link has 5 * 0.35 inch x 0.35 inch (8mm x 8 mm) aluminum heat sink | 13:04 |
| foobarry | 5 * 0.56 inch x 0.56 inch (14 mm x 14 mm) aluminum heat sink | 13:04 |
| popey | ah thats better | 13:04 |

| popey | "Heat Sinks, Do YOU need them." | 13:05 |
| popey | maybe you could cook bacon on your cpu like this chap https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uBNCN6v_gk | 13:07 |
| foobarry | we will be running as a demo hpc cluster | 13:08 |
| foobarry | so the heatsink info is helpful , tanks | 13:08 |
| foobarry | thanks | 13:08 |
| popey | np | 13:09 |
| foobarry | have to pack them away now as i have higher priority stuff to work on for a while :( | 13:09 |
| foobarry | :(:(:( | 13:10 |
| foobarry | i got the anker 6 port usb charger, man they are sleek | 13:11 |
| popey | yeah, i like anker kit | 13:18 |
| popey | i have a bolse usb charger on my desk though, 7 ports ftw :) | 13:18 |
| foobarry | do the heatsinks fit inside the lego case ok? | 13:18 |
| popey | https://www.amazon.co.uk/Charging-Desktop-Station-SmartICᵀᴹ-Technology/dp/B00L2SBZ80 | 13:18 |
| popey | yes | 13:19 |
| popey | lots of room in there | 13:19 |
| foobarry | cool | 13:19 |
| foobarry | bought a pack of rolos. havent had them since i was a kid. nicer than i remember | 13:46 |
| zmoylan-pi | i remember my last pack of rolos... my dad gave them to me... after i thanked him afterwards he mentioned it wasn't a problem as he was clearing out the locker of a dead guy in hospital... it's the little things you remember... :-) | 13:52 |
| * brobostigon has never had them, he is allergic to milk chocolate, (allergic to the milk, not the chocolate). | 13:54 | |
| SuperMatt | Rolos kinda disappeared from the shelves for a while, but I'm glad they're back | 13:54 |
| SuperMatt | I like to keep them in the fridge so that the toffee in the centre gets harder | 13:55 |
| zmoylan-pi | they're no munchies though | 13:55 |
| zmoylan-pi | even if they are a lot cheaper than munchies | 13:55 |
| ali1234 | daftykins: please remind me once again what the deal is with windows 7 and OEM licensing? can i just get the retail ISO and use the serial from the CoA on the bottom of this laptop, in order to do a clean install? | 18:18 |
| ali1234 | or do i need to get the "samsung OEM ISO" like on previous versions? | 18:18 |
| ali1234 | its home premium 64 bit, if that matters | 18:20 |
| diddledan | ali1234: I believe goat sacrifice is part of the procedure these days | 22:12 |
| directhex | ali1234: 7 iirc you can use any old iso AS LONG ASS THE COUNTRY CODE MATCHES | 22:18 |
| directhex | and even that might not matter | 22:18 |
| directhex | you don't need a samsung iso | 22:19 |
| directhex | enter your cd key in https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows7 to get a link to the right iso, though | 22:19 |
| ali1234 | oh nice, thanks | 22:21 |
| directhex | on systems where the cd key is burned into the firmware, not stuck to the case, you can read it out of the ACPI tables from within linux | 22:24 |
| directhex | it's at the end of /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/MSDM | 22:25 |
