| daftykins | happy Saturday all \o | 11:17 |
|---|---|---|
| zxm-pi | o/ | 12:16 |
| penguin42 | yaaaawwwwnnnnn - my music player is playing Santana's Guajira which is certainly helping | 12:25 |
| daftykins | :D | 12:26 |
| * penguin42 looks at the way the fedora installer has built his lvm and hmm | 13:11 | |
| penguin42 | it's done small partition->md->lvm rather than big partition->lvm->lvm raid1 | 13:12 |
| * penguin42 does unspeakable things with fdisk and pvmove | 13:17 | |
| penguin42 | seems to have worked; https://paste.centos.org/view/25deae25 | 13:58 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: What are your preferred flavours of ether card, and do you need any other PCI cards? | 14:55 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: http://www.treblig.org/daveG/pcicards.jpg one of those should do | 15:06 |
| zxm-pi | when i stored cards not in use. i use to attach a paperback sized piece of cardboard with a rubber band so that they were isolated from one another | 15:12 |
| zxm-pi | storing them loose them loose like that makes my ocd twitchy :-) | 15:12 |
| penguin42 | that's probably fair; although probably better than a big pile; this is a convenient PSU box | 15:14 |
| daftykins | penguin42: any Intel Pro 10/100 or 3com 3C905-TX ones should be good | 16:09 |
| zxm-pi | 3c905-tx... there's a name i haven't seen in a long time... | 16:10 |
| daftykins | :) | 16:10 |
| zxm-pi | we used ne2000 compatible jobbies... i can still remember the dipswitches for irq5 base 320h :-) | 16:11 |
| daftykins | hehe | 16:12 |
| daftykins | just visited wealthy client's new HQ, none of the telephone DP is labelled :| https://i.imgur.com/HXYuXog.jpg | 16:30 |
| zxm-pi | labeling wires costs extra :-P | 16:33 |
| daftykins | means muggins here will be forced to pick up a tone generator and work out which cable runs to each room... if i can't convince the client to move to all IP phones | 16:34 |
| daftykins | opened up my backpack before heading out earlier and discovered a blueberry muffin i'd forgotten about :D what a great surprise | 16:44 |
| zxm-pi | someting similar happened once to me onsite. but all i found was a 3week old banana sandwich. i drank it anyway :-D | 16:45 |
| daftykins | xD | 16:45 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: Any idea what the difference is between a 3c905c and a 3c905cx ? | 17:00 |
| daftykins | hmm let's have a look | 17:00 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: and is i82550ey OK for Intel - I think that's a Pro/100s | 17:01 |
| penguin42 | the 3c905cx looks about 5 years newer | 17:02 |
| daftykins | can't work anything out between the two 3coms from a cursory glance, looks like wikipedia has a snap of the intel - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Intel_PRO100_S.png | 17:03 |
| penguin42 | yeh that's the Intel | 17:04 |
| daftykins | i wonder if it's got built-in support, because the intel download page seems to only speak of drivers for Linux and DOS | 17:05 |
| penguin42 | e100's have been about since adam was a lad | 17:07 |
| daftykins | :D | 17:07 |
| daftykins | yeah i bet it's easy to get going in many situations, the intel | 17:07 |
| daftykins | do you have anything of that vintage to try them out in to verify they're alive at all? | 17:08 |
| daftykins | i think the intel might win it | 17:12 |
| penguin42 | just tested both on f34 on the machine I was using when this Ryzen died; f34 sees both and pings | 17:15 |
| daftykins | :D | 17:15 |
| penguin42 | early i7 with one PCI slot | 17:15 |
| penguin42 | [which hadn't been used in the 12 years I'd had it] | 17:15 |
| daftykins | xD | 17:15 |
| daftykins | sounds great, thanks for checking those out :) | 17:15 |
| daftykins | did you say his address looked complete, or is it worth my sending you a copy anyway just in case? | 17:16 |
| penguin42 | please send me it | 17:19 |
| daftykins | sorted | 17:22 |
| penguin42 | got it | 17:23 |
| * penguin42 redirects via configuring printer on newly reinstalled machine to be able to print the royal mails qr code postage | 17:41 | |
| daftykins | ooh high tech | 17:41 |
| penguin42 | 1st time I've used it | 17:43 |
| penguin42 | (the print stamp thing) | 17:43 |
| daftykins | mm, good alternative with things as they are | 17:44 |
| penguin42 | right, I've bought books of standard stamps from the postoffice, but not done one of these before | 17:52 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: OK, all jified up with label and stuff, I'll drop it in a postbox on Monday | 17:52 |
| daftykins | magic! thanks :) | 17:52 |
| daftykins | i best warn him of my evil plans now i suppose | 17:53 |
| penguin42 | you're collecting a whole kit from dozens of people aren't you? | 17:57 |
| daftykins | lol, nah just hoping for some RAM from a pal in Canada eventually too, but really i have so much work on i don't have a chance to muck about with that Pentium III Dell | 17:59 |
| daftykins | ok time to put some food on | 17:59 |
| penguin42 | oh, you should have said, I probably have some somewhere | 18:00 |
| penguin42 | although I'd be less confident of finding that | 18:02 |
| daftykins | that's cool, he already did a lot of testing and what not - just waiting to bug him about it again :D | 18:21 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: Righty, arctive liquid freezer ii 280 ordered | 19:49 |
| daftykins | air is fiiiiine ;) | 19:50 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: Next week, we see the scientific experiment of difference in temp | 19:53 |
| daftykins | :D | 19:55 |
| daftykins | to bed! | 22:26 |
