[06:22] morning boys and girls. [08:27] hello all [10:16] Anyone use Nagios to monitor if a process has been running for a certain amount of time ~? [10:17] Using check_proc_age from the exchange via check_by_ssh but it seems hit and miss whether it works or not [10:17] Also tried check_procs -t INTERVAL or something that works locally ok but doesn't seem to work well otherwise [10:18] We have a process that gets stuck everynow and then, can't track the cause yet so want to be alerted of it. === Dave____ is now known as Dave [12:39] oh look: http://imgur.com/a/mWR3S [12:42] that's a lot of pi... [12:47] i recognise that case, I have the same one :) [12:47] wait for it... [12:49] they're your anti ninja servers that you have on the floor at 3am... [12:49] haha [12:51] i bought one red, one blue and one black so I know what kind of pi is in each one [12:51] then I remembered I had a labeller :) [12:57] i use a sharpie marker... dead handy [12:59] i even labelled my pi zeores [12:59] huey dewey and louie? [12:59] http://imgur.com/a/7fEZn [12:59] hahah [12:59] i wondered what we were waiting for, not disappointed [13:00] it will look uhly when all connected [13:00] probably won't use wifi [13:00] did you get heat sinks for them? [13:00] noooo [13:00] will i need them? [13:00] dunno, i did as a precaution on mine [13:00] because a few of them run flat out a lot of the time [13:00] which ones did you buy pls? [13:01] figured it was a cheap way to protect them, as they sometimes get quite hot [13:01] just some cheapo ones off amazon, bag o' heatsinks [13:01] there's some rated badly and another lot which are rated better, go for them [13:01] you get like 10 in a pack, of the two sizes [13:01] especially for pi? [13:01] so you'd probbaly need 2-3 bags [13:01] yes [13:02] https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/a37/Mudder-Piece-Aluminum-Heatsink-Cooler-Cooling-Raspberry/B01DLQIMPE [13:02] that kinda thing [13:02] peel & stick. done. [13:02] i thought the pi 3 got a bit warm? [13:03] how many are used per pi? [13:03] two, one big, one small, there is a pic of one in that listing [13:03] last photo [13:03] 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 [13:04] it's odd numbers in that pack. 2 big ones, four little [13:04] which will only do 2 pis [13:04] that link has 5 * 0.35 inch x 0.35 inch (8mm x 8 mm) aluminum heat sink [13:04] 5 * 0.56 inch x 0.56 inch (14 mm x 14 mm) aluminum heat sink [13:04] ah thats better [13:05] https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=13080 [13:05] "Heat Sinks, Do YOU need them." [13:07] maybe you could cook bacon on your cpu like this chap https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uBNCN6v_gk [13:08] we will be running as a demo hpc cluster [13:08] so the heatsink info is helpful , tanks [13:08] thanks [13:09] np [13:09] have to pack them away now as i have higher priority stuff to work on for a while :( [13:10] :(:(:( [13:11] i got the anker 6 port usb charger, man they are sleek [13:18] yeah, i like anker kit [13:18] i have a bolse usb charger on my desk though, 7 ports ftw :) [13:18] do the heatsinks fit inside the lego case ok? [13:18] https://www.amazon.co.uk/Charging-Desktop-Station-SmartICᵀᴹ-Technology/dp/B00L2SBZ80 [13:19] yes [13:19] lots of room in there [13:19] cool [13:46] bought a pack of rolos. havent had them since i was a kid. nicer than i remember [13:52] 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... :-) [13:54] * brobostigon has never had them, he is allergic to milk chocolate, (allergic to the milk, not the chocolate). [13:54] Rolos kinda disappeared from the shelves for a while, but I'm glad they're back [13:55] I like to keep them in the fridge so that the toffee in the centre gets harder [13:55] they're no munchies though [13:55] even if they are a lot cheaper than munchies [18:18] 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] or do i need to get the "samsung OEM ISO" like on previous versions? [18:20] its home premium 64 bit, if that matters [22:12] ali1234: I believe goat sacrifice is part of the procedure these days [22:18] ali1234: 7 iirc you can use any old iso AS LONG ASS THE COUNTRY CODE MATCHES [22:18] and even that might not matter [22:19] you don't need a samsung iso [22:19] enter your cd key in https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows7 to get a link to the right iso, though [22:21] oh nice, thanks [22:24] 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 [22:25] it's at the end of /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/MSDM
