--- Log opened Sun Aug 02 00:00:13 2015 01:45 <@Evilpig> this little micro pc from msi is pretty snappy 01:45 <@Evilpig> they call it a cubi 01:52 <@northrup> what are the specs? 02:03 < _NSAKEY> northrup: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856167091 02:03 < PigBot`> Title: MSI Cubi-006BUS Intel Broadwell U PCH-LP 2 x 204Pin SO-DIMM Intel HD Graphics White Mini Booksize Barebone System - Newegg.com (at www.newegg.com) 02:04 < _NSAKEY> Can't seem to find the dimensions... 02:13 <@Evilpig> dimensions are nano-itx 02:13 <@Evilpig> 4" x 4" x 1" ish 02:14 <@Evilpig> http://us.msi.com/product/bb/Cubi-Mini-PC-Kit.html#hero-overview 02:14 < PigBot`> Title: MSI USA - Computer, Laptop, Notebook, Desktop, Mainboard, Graphics and more (at us.msi.com) 02:15 <@Evilpig> newegg had it in a bundle special with a 120g mobile ssd, 8gb of ram for ~$260 02:15 < _NSAKEY> Evilpig: What did you do before the days of ultra-small computers that are actually capable of doing useful work? 02:15 <@Evilpig> my only complaint so far is either the memory they sold with it isn't fully compatible OR this unit has a problem because when I put a dimm in the second slot it won't post 02:16 <@Evilpig> _NSAKEY: ship full size desktops around the country 02:18 < _NSAKEY> Doesn't sound like much fun. 02:18 < _NSAKEY> So I'm guessing you use stuff like that as your daily "desktop," or do you have something bigger for that role? 02:18 <@Evilpig> https://www.dropbox.com/s/e20rjch5uf8ss71/Screen%20Shot%202015-08-02%20at%202.18.24%20AM.png?dl=0 02:19 <@Evilpig> right now my daily desktop is my macbook air from work 02:19 <@Evilpig> this is for my old man 02:20 <@Evilpig> https://www.dropbox.com/s/0hojq65il5bmx6e/Screen%20Shot%202015-08-02%20at%202.19.48%20AM.png?dl=0 02:20 <@Evilpig> I was surprised by the result of the performance test 02:21 < _NSAKEY> Oh, so you order something tiny like this, get it running, then ship to a relative. 02:21 <@Evilpig> yup 02:21 <@Evilpig> throw on teamviewer and you have a ready support system too 02:21 < _NSAKEY> I couldn't get away with that. 02:22 < _NSAKEY> Tried telling my father to just buy a chromebox last year, after a thunder storm fried his computer. 02:22 <@Evilpig> well that's a chromebox. :P 02:22 < _NSAKEY> That suggestion didn't go over well. He ended up going to Staples and buying one of the few remaining Win7 machines they had. 02:22 < _NSAKEY> Yeah, but he doesn't use anything except Chrome. 02:23 <@Evilpig> get one of these and it runs windows, it's quick, quiet, etc 02:23 <@Evilpig> and ultra low power 02:23 < _NSAKEY> Speaking of low power. 02:24 < _NSAKEY> What do you think of the newer atom boards that have 12 SATA ports? 02:24 <@Evilpig> it'll be interesting to see. their primary market is still going to be nas style devices 02:24 < _NSAKEY> Well, yeah. Using them for just about anything else would be silly. 02:25 <@Evilpig> I wish my nas had a full processor instead of an atom. but it does just fine 02:25 < _NSAKEY> Are you using FreeNAS or something similar? 02:25 <@Evilpig> just reran the test and it's up to a 5 with all the latest drivers 02:25 <@Evilpig> nah. synology has their own shit. it's a linux version of their own doing 02:25 < _NSAKEY> One of those atom boards I mentioned has 8 cores, which just seems excessive. 02:26 < _NSAKEY> If it uses all the cores when doing something CPU-intensive like disk scrubbing, then ok. Otherwise, it doesn't seem worth the extra $100 to go from 4 to 8 cores. 02:26 <@Evilpig> rebuilding a missing disk could use a good bit of cpu for error correction 02:27 < _NSAKEY> This is the 4 core version: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157419 02:27 < PigBot`> Title: ASRock C2550D4I Mini ITX Server Motherboard DDR3 160013331066 - Newegg.com (at www.newegg.com) 02:27 < _NSAKEY> ...

I wonder how that would affect overhead 02:31 < _NSAKEY> There seemingly a good number of FreeNAS users who are pairing one of those boards with a Silverstone case that has 8 hot swap bays. 02:31 < _NSAKEY> *There's 02:41 <@Evilpig> i'm crashing. my sleep schedule is all fubar right now 03:43 <@Dagmar> Yay! They're making a Dirk Gently show 04:14 <@Dagmar> If I see ONE MORE "My intention is to fill up Facebook with..." posts, I'm going to ruin it for everyone and do one for pornography. 04:43 < _NSAKEY> Doesn't Facebook ban for porn? 04:43 < _NSAKEY> If so, you might as well go the extra mile and post porn with Mark Zuckerberg's face shopped in. 05:45 < aestetix> aaaand that was something I did not need to thnk about 06:03 <@Dagmar> _NSAKEY: ^5 07:10 < aestetix> jesus 07:10 < aestetix> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCOI19u4Ya8 07:10 < aestetix> this is inasne 08:59 -!- crashcart [uid29931@gateway/web/irccloud.com/x-yzvjuihiffsucuwn] has joined #se2600 11:09 < _NSAKEY> aestetix: You mean you don't want to see goatse with Mark Zuckerberg's face shopped in place of the inside of the guy's asshole? 12:33 <@oddball> So... what are the chances of there being a good answer to the printer's bill at the meeting tonight? 12:46 <@Evilpig> i'd say if it made it to elonka the word should be it's paid. otherwise you'll get an excuse from dru 12:46 <@Evilpig> I would ask to see proof of the fire 12:53 <@oddball> Well, last I heard was that Dru paid it in cash. Of course, this conflicts with the printer's story. 12:55 <@Evilpig> dru's a liar. I'd side with a life long politician before him 12:57 <@oddball> Ok... just decided to say fuck it and called my buddy. They've worked it out. 13:04 <@oddball> Basically, they're going to comp him a badge (which is about the amount of the invoice), and he'll call it square. 13:04 <@oddball> (he's the office manager/VP/member of the family that owns it) 13:12 <@Evilpig> that's kinda shitty. he was owed ~$50 right? 13:18 <@oddball> yep 13:19 <@Evilpig> to me that's the kinda of solution that was offered with an explanation. "well we can't find anything about this bill and he says he paid it we'll offer you half" 13:28 <@oddball> eh... he's happy with it. That's the important part in my mind. 13:42 <@Evilpig> I wish I could find better copies of holmes on homes. 13:42 <@Evilpig> it wasn't a bad show but this sd tv stuff is killing me 15:10 -!- Netsplit *.net <-> *.split quits: Shadow404, vaneck, Vyrus001, @oddball 15:11 -!- Netsplit over, joins: Vyrus001, vaneck, oddball 15:11 -!- Shadow404 [~shadow404@47.23.76.130] has joined #se2600 15:16 <@jb7od> whoaaa 15:22 <@jb7od> I read a sort of troubling article about gen x ppl going into midlife. It contained a lot of quotes and references to supposedly demographically meaningful media, outlined how we've been economically shat upon, mentioned the fear and distrust of authority, over-interest in stability and real estate, none of which I disagree with 15:22 <@jb7od> but the punchline was that xers need to be more involved in politics. 15:34 <@jb7od> To be honest, I think about it, but I still cling to the fear of sticking my head out. 15:35 <@jb7od> I've had to deal with the system; fucked up cops, fucked up lawyers, fucked up judges- 15:37 <@jb7od> I have zero faith in the system. 15:39 <@jb7od> I'm more worried about damaging my rep as a non-partisan non-participant for my own safety and for the safety of my family. 15:40 <@jb7od> I just need a 1up mushroom I guess. lol 15:57 < _NSAKEY> https://twitter.com/phreaknic/status/627930095500431360 15:57 < PigBot`> Title: PhreakNIC on Twitter: "Registration for PhreakNIC 19, November 6-7, 2015, is now OPEN! http://t.co/hX5hrEOlq7" (at twitter.com) 16:15 <@jb7od> Depending on my drama level at PN time, I may come out with a pint of liquor in my back pocket and say hi. 16:19 <@jb7od> Traditionally I've been too impoverished to put money down and would just go and sit indian style on the floor with a laptop and watch the LAN or keep company whatever staffer on however high up of a floor I could get to. 16:22 <@jb7od> but usually around dawn, it'd all be tresspassable if you could endure the reek of those unable to keep their alcohol inside of their bodies. 16:30 <@jb7od> The last two years I've been embattled in so epic of a divorce I could sell the script to AMC, but hopefully I'll be able to carry out the mission this year. 16:36 < aestetix> so 16:36 < aestetix> http://phreaknic.info/registration.html 16:36 < PigBot`> Title: PhreakNIC19 (at phreaknic.info) 16:37 < aestetix> "Please enter your badge name. We use this for identification when you pick up your badge. (We may print your name on the badge, as well.)" 16:37 < aestetix> what does this mean? 16:42 < oddball> I'll try to remember to ask about that tonight. 16:44 <@jb7od> aestetix: what's the ambiguity? 16:44 < aestetix> I am assuming it means they may print your badge name on the badge. 16:44 < aestetix> I would be very unhappy if they adopted the DragonCon privacy invasion badge 16:45 < aestetix> It is either quite cool, or awful 16:45 <@jb7od> I mean, I can see the problem with being able to tie the badge purchase transaction to a nick. 16:46 <@jb7od> but there's several people I could summon to verify face to nick if there was a problem 16:50 < oddball> If there's an issue, you just assign the pre-reg member a membership ID number. Use the name on their license as verification, but not have it on the badge. 16:51 < oddball> That name is recorded in a book/spreadsheet with the corresponding nick/ID number. 16:55 <@jb7od> buying at the door is still an option though, right? 16:59 < aestetix> depending on how much room there is on the badge, your name could be a question for corydon 17:01 < oddball> jb7od: yes 17:38 < _NSAKEY> aestetix: I think it's just custom badges. Like if I filled it out as "_NSAKEY," they would put just "_NSAKEY" on my badge. 17:38 < _NSAKEY> If oddball forgets to ask, I will. 17:38 < _NSAKEY> Speaking of which, I need to get ready and head over there. 19:23 <@Dagmar> Bah damnit 19:23 <@Dagmar> I've been screwing with coding stuff all afternoon and wasn't paying attention 20:16 -!- crashcart [uid29931@gateway/web/irccloud.com/x-yzvjuihiffsucuwn] has quit [Quit: Connection closed for inactivity] 22:38 -!- klixa [~klixa@unaffiliated/klixa] has joined #se2600 22:38 -!- mode/#se2600 [+o klixa] by ChanServ 23:03 -!- klixa [~klixa@unaffiliated/klixa] has quit [Quit: bleh] --- Log closed Mon Aug 03 00:00:14 2015
