Only 24 hours of fucking with it. 01:14 <@Dagmar> Okay, clearly Acronis is getting some of my money the next time I'm buying utility software. 01:14 <@Dagmar> It just turned the clean install (after I scrubbed all restore points and leftover files) down to 7.61Gb 01:14 <@Dagmar> er backup size down to 7.61Gb 01:15 <@Dagmar> I can totally deal with that 01:15 <@Dagmar> Also, it did that in about four minutes somehow. I can VERY SERIOUSLY deal with that 01:15 <@Dagmar> I'll have to test tomorrow and see if it can restore those things that quickly. 01:59 -!- InfoSecDog [~user@c-50-180-8-23.hsd1.ga.comcast.net] has quit [] 02:17 <@Dagmar> Heh.

Apparently Acronis True Image's bootable media for restoring backup is running Linux 23:08 <@Evilpig> is it? I thought it was like a windows ce type of thing? 23:09 <@Dagmar> No, _definitely_ Linux 23:10 <@Dagmar> It presents a very Win7-like GUI, but during the bootup I was looking at the Acronis logo thinking... "Man, that looks like framebuffer splash" and then there was some text about RAID and when I exited it there was some REALLY OBVIOUS Linux verbiage about sending SIGKILL to everything 23:10 <@Dagmar> ...so, since I've been learning about the various ways Windows can fail this weekend, I went back into it and hit CTRL-ALT-F2. Sure enough, Linux console. 23:11 <@Evilpig> make sense 23:11 <@Dagmar> Yeah, especially considering Windows doesn't know what my USB 3.0 BUS or my NIC card look like, but Linux (and therefore Acronis) were able to use them fine 23:12 <@Evilpig> no drivers for them? or just not there by default? 23:12 <@Dagmar> No drivers that Win7 has work with either of the two chipsets 23:15 <@Dagmar> Basically saves me a _little_ trouble in that nothing starts whining about updates when I upgrade Win7 to itself before applying service pack 1 23:16 <@Dagmar> The licence I have might not be valid for a Win10 upgrade, which actually suits me fine 23:33 <@Dagmar> It's clear that Win7 ages much like XP did. 23:34 <@Dagmar> After it's been installed a few years, getting a fresh install completely updated is madness 23:34 <@Dagmar> Gotta take pretty much every optional update, too, since they've once again screwed up their dependencies 23:34 <@Dagmar> ...otherwise it tries to install patches to optional patches you didn't install, and fails 23:35 <@Dagmar> ....and there's like six rounds of "Hey look there's updates available!" *installs updates* "All available updates installed". *reboots* "Hey look there's updates available!" 23:35 < _NSAKEY> Dagmar: Why do you even tolerate Windows? Is it for gaming? 23:35 <@Dagmar> Basically, yeah 23:35 < _NSAKEY> That's the only thing that made any sense. 23:36 <@Dagmar> If I have to wait through this shit in the spring when I've got an Occulus Rift headset sitting my lap doing nothing, SOMEONE WILL DIE 23:36 <@Dagmar> I will smear their blood on the CPU and RAM in hopes that the dark ones will see my sacrifice and just make it work 23:38 <@Dagmar> Also I figured I'd get real drunk and give Windows 10 a look-see 23:38 <@Dagmar> So... kind of important there be a backup I _know_ I can restore 23:39 <@Dagmar> Seeing as how Windows' built-in backup imager is wall-to-wall fail, I've done a bit of experimenting tonight with that ass well 23:39 <@Dagmar> er as well 23:39 <@Dagmar> I may be about to rollback my BIOS tho 23:39 <@Dagmar> The latest isn't fucking stable with the RAM running at DDR3-2166, which I've gotten used to 23:48 <@ShadowHntr> i like acronis trueimage as a disk imaging solution 23:48 <@ShadowHntr> it's a commercial product, but it's cheap 23:49 <@ShadowHntr> i didn't realize you were talking about it 23:49 * ShadowHntr takes foot out of mouth 23:49 <@ShadowHntr> ;) 23:50 <@ShadowHntr> anyone remember when Norton Ghost was good? 23:51 <@Dagmar> It's actually free if you've bought just about any Western Digital drive in awhile 23:51 <@Dagmar> ...which is why I was using it 23:52 <@Dagmar> I'd already used Acronis once to switch from Legacy BIOS to UEFI 23:52 <@ShadowHntr> yeah i really like Acronis 23:52 <@Dagmar> I had no idea Windows' native backup imager was frankly, retarded 23:52 <@ShadowHntr> i don't buy WD products 23:52 <@ShadowHntr> i've had a bad experience with a WD Caviar drive back in the 90s and i still hold it against them 23:53 <@ShadowHntr> i swear by Seagate 23:53 <@Dagmar> Fuck that 23:53 <@Dagmar> I just had to reflash the 1.5Tb Seagate that survived their insane SMART bug _again_ 23:53 <@Dagmar> New firmware, mysterious but terrifying verbiage in the release notes 23:54 <@Dagmar> I had _three_ of their damn drives start acting up almost at the same time 23:54 <@Dagmar> ...one of which was the 3Tb drive I'd put a whole bunch of stuff on, giving Seagate one last shot 23:54 <@Dagmar> It made a sound like a kid chewing rock candy the entire time I was frantically backing stuff off it 23:55 <@ShadowHntr> i wish Samsung and Hitachi were still independent storage manufacturers 23:55 <@ShadowHntr> i've had good experiences with both 23:55 <@Dagmar> Yeah those people have never burned me 23:55 <@Dagmar> I just had my third WD drive _ever_ die a couple weeks ago 23:56 <@Dagmar> Turns out that apparently consumer level drives don't survive being driven like a rented mule 24/7/365 for eight years 23:56 <@Dagmar> That's shoddy work right there. 23:56 <@ShadowHntr> Seagate Constellation, baby. 23:56 <@ShadowHntr> enterprise grade drives 23:57 <@Dagmar> I'll stick with WD. 23:57 <@ShadowHntr> i already have one which i use as my primary magnetic storage on my main workstation. 23:57 <@ShadowHntr> i don't have a sufficiently large SSD yet for use as a primary --- Log closed Mon Oct 26 00:00:16 2015
