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