| jrwren | I got new disks on black friday. I'm going to redo my home storage and I can't decide if I should continue using janky LVM and just carve out mirrors from the new disks (pros: familiar) or use md mirror (pros: simple) or use zfs (pros: new & neato) | 13:44 |
|---|---|---|
| brousch | Put it all in the cloud and let Amazon worry about it | 14:23 |
| jrwren | *eyeroll* | 14:42 |
| mrgoodcat | what are you storing? | 14:59 |
| mrgoodcat | i haven't found i have a real need for home storage in years | 15:00 |
| mrgoodcat | other than a single drive i use for my local backups | 15:00 |
| brousch | jrwren: Yeah, actually I let Google handle it | 15:06 |
| mrgoodcat | yea google handles my photos | 15:07 |
| mrgoodcat | I also have local copies, but they just don't take up enough space to justify a NAS | 15:07 |
| mrgoodcat | i don't do any video or anything so my space requirements are pretty small | 15:07 |
| mrgoodcat | i also don't plex | 15:07 |
| jrwren | smh. | 15:16 |
| jrwren | Scary_Guy will understand. | 15:17 |
| jrwren | but then he'll probably tell me he uses BSD for such things. ;) | 15:17 |
| jrwren | storing 7.1TB of video, growing, mostly slowly. | 15:19 |
| mrgoodcat | plex stuff? | 15:19 |
| jrwren | family video | 15:19 |
| jrwren | i don't use plex | 15:19 |
| jrwren | only $167/mo for S3. HA! | 15:20 |
| jrwren | so, brousch advice was terrible for me. thanks for nothing, brousch. :p | 15:20 |
| brousch | Is it terrible? What price can you put on your memories? | 15:21 |
| jrwren | not $167/mo. | 15:21 |
| jrwren | its easy to put a price on memories: can I afford this? no. | 15:21 |
| jrwren | gee, I put a price on it. | 15:21 |
| cmaloney | Good morning | 15:54 |
| jrwren | cmaloney: good morning. What do you think about storage? | 15:55 |
| cmaloney | I have two Synology RAID devices in the basement for storage | 15:55 |
| cmaloney | and a 2TB drive in my main machine for music | 15:55 |
| cmaloney | It's not perfect by any stretch | 15:55 |
| cmaloney | I've also used md and it's pretty decent. That's what I use for my home directory on my desktop | 15:56 |
| cmaloney | md mirror | 15:57 |
| jrwren | synology is great. It is what I modeled my current LVM usage after. | 16:08 |
| jrwren | I guess the real question I have is: am I ready for zfs and is it ready for me? | 16:08 |
| jrwren | its too big an unknown. I think I'll stick with what I know and what works. | 16:09 |
| Scary_Guy | https://u.cubeupload.com/vAXHZK.png | 16:21 |
| jrwren | reiserfs it is. | 16:24 |
| brousch | ohmy | 16:25 |
| Scary_Guy | I like to look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems and compare things listing pros and cons of each. Also, WTF is NOVA? | 16:28 |
| Scary_Guy | well, it sounds neat | 16:29 |
| cmaloney | I'm surprised Andrew Filesystem didn't catch on more | 17:00 |
| * cmaloney remembers seeing a presentation about Andrew File system at an Ohio Linuxfest and coming out of the presentation even more confused. | 17:01 | |
| Scary_Guy | BTRFS still looks like the best option to me, ZFS/HAMMER are fine too | 17:10 |
| mrgoodcat | anybody got a mtb light they recommend? broek mine this weekend :( | 17:43 |
| greg-g | mountain bike? | 17:43 |
| greg-g | how'd it break? | 17:44 |
| Scary_Guy | I was just about to ask | 17:44 |
| mrgoodcat | dropped on the pavement | 17:44 |
| mrgoodcat | trying to take it off the bike that was mounted on the roofrack | 17:44 |
| mrgoodcat | butterfingered it | 17:44 |
| Scary_Guy | ouch, and that ruined it? I'd avoid that brand | 17:45 |
| mrgoodcat | well i mean | 17:45 |
| mrgoodcat | its like a 12 foot drop | 17:45 |
| mrgoodcat | onto concrete | 17:45 |
| mrgoodcat | maybe not 12 | 17:45 |
| mrgoodcat | but 9 at least | 17:45 |
| Scary_Guy | 6 at most probably, I'm taller than most car roofs | 17:45 |
| mrgoodcat | are you taller than a suburban with a bike on it? | 17:46 |
| Scary_Guy | I'm close, but probably not bike rack/bike on it no | 17:47 |
| Scary_Guy | anyway Pelican makes some great lights. Not for the bike, just in general. I guess you could duct tape it to the bars though :p | 17:47 |
| mrgoodcat | how fuckin tall are you? | 17:47 |
| mrgoodcat | just the truck is 6ft + rack + bike | 17:48 |
| mrgoodcat | lol pelican doesn't make any with bar mounts? | 17:49 |
| mrgoodcat | oh i see they're a hardware brand | 17:49 |
| mrgoodcat | work lights and such | 17:49 |
| jrwren | i guess his height at 6'5" | 17:53 |
| Scary_Guy | close, 6'3" | 17:53 |
| Scary_Guy | taller than many but still fairly average | 17:54 |
| jrwren | the hat adds 2 inches? | 17:54 |
| Scary_Guy | I could probably be a CEO of a company because of my boobs, I mean height | 17:54 |
| jrwren | or POTUS! | 17:55 |
| Scary_Guy | also the cowboy boots have about an inch of a heel | 17:55 |
| Scary_Guy | that too | 17:55 |
| Scary_Guy | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_vcy7I0zIM | 17:56 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, Scary_Guy is taller than I am | 18:04 |
| Scary_Guy | and my dick's bigger too :p | 18:04 |
| cmaloney | Ahem. | 18:05 |
| * jrwren points to the CoC | 18:05 | |
| Scary_Guy | chamber of commerce? | 18:06 |
| jrwren | https://www.ubuntu.com/about/about-ubuntu/conduct | 18:06 |
| Scary_Guy | https://encyclopediadramatica.rs/Offended :p (nsfw, obviously) | 18:07 |
| jrwren | I prefer the stephen fry offended diatribes | 18:09 |
| Scary_Guy | I like Stephen Fry in general | 18:10 |
| Scary_Guy | http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/welcome-to-the-internet was good too, that rant is legendary | 18:13 |
| Scary_Guy | https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1855.txt is classic, but outdated. | 18:17 |
| Scary_Guy | personally I'm very libertarian on things and think the free exchange of ideas is paramount. Also there is always room for a good joke as long as it's all in good fun | 18:17 |
| Scary_Guy | but to each their own and I respect the conservative nature of official channels such as this. this isn't 4chan/reddit after all | 18:19 |
| cmaloney | ty | 18:20 |
| jrwren | i was only reminding, not chastizing. | 18:20 |
| jrwren | no lines crossed, just acknowledging getting close to a grey area. | 18:21 |
| jrwren | I thought it was a funny joke, but I don't know if everyone would take it the same way. | 18:21 |
| jrwren | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XOaYMkz5Cc makes me laugh every time. | 18:21 |
| Scary_Guy | I think most people on IRC are mature enough to see it as such | 18:23 |
| greg-g | at the same time, it's not the most welcoming of language to non-male-locker-room-desensitized people. :/ | 19:00 |
| jrwren | whoo hoo! new cable modem docsis 3! | 23:56 |
