[11:05] <Gargoyle> Wondering if anyone can help me out with some terminology as I am not sure I am getting the right search results. Assume we are running in a load-balanced setup of 3 servers and on each one is a little daemon process that is going to periodically wake up and do something.
[11:05] <Gargoyle> But I only want ONE of them to perform the action each time, not all three.
[11:06] <Gargoyle> If this was a single multi-threaded process, it would just be a case of locking. Is there a fancy name for it when done across multiple programs (and multiple machines).
[12:30] <Gargoyle> nm. Got myself on the right track now. Sometimes just asking the question is enough to reset your thinking! :D
[12:41] <daftykins> sure can be!
[14:18] <diddledan> a developer conference focusing on software??! what shenanigans is this?? https://www.macrumors.com/2018/05/31/mark-gurman-wwdc-2018-preview/
[14:18] <diddledan> quote from headline "Gurman: WWDC 2018 to Have Software Focus"
[14:33] <daftykins> so there won't be new horrible hardware?
[14:33] <daftykins> i was being asked which iPhone to get by an elderly client yesterday, i felt so dirty
[15:05] <diddledan> haha. that dirt doesn't rub off, either!
[15:06] <daftykins> i said they were announcing new ones so don't buy yet :P
[16:39] <zmoylan-pi> recommend an android nokia... a name they'll be happy with :-)
[16:43] <daftykins> they have crap specs
[16:43] <daftykins> actually steered someone who had that exact thinking away from the Nokia and suggested a moto g6 Play instead
[16:43] <zmoylan-pi> the low end ones do. i'm looking for an nokia 2 myself for it's humongus battery
[16:43] <daftykins> 4000 vs 3000 mAh battery, 32GB vs. 16GB, 3GB RAM vs. 2GB, yada yada
[16:44] <daftykins> well this was looking at the 5, a 16GB of anything android just isn't wise imo
[21:14] <ali1234> now that ubuntu uses a swap file by default, how do i configure the size of it?
[21:16] <zmoylan-pi> i thought the general rule of linux swap fules was to let linux handle it for 99% of occasions?
