[13:22:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> got me a mission for the day. combine and dedupe the media libraries of myself and the roomie, store them on the server box, and make sure it's properly serving them all up via NFS.
[13:32:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> hrm... and samba too i think. we do have a windows device or two on the network
[13:37:49] <Bytram|away> TheMightyBuzzard: sounds like fun! Ijust read recently (comments on some storey on Ars?) that NFS has issues with PID(?) and they had better luck with Samba

[16:13:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> dishes = kryptonite
[16:15:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> no worries though. i'm gonna be busy most the day doing this data transfer and dedupe.
[16:22:33] <cmn32480> meh.
[16:22:52] <cmn32480> now I'm running arthur to see if I can put something in the queue
[16:24:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> queue schmueue, i don't work weekends.
[16:25:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> s'a good think i been offloading all this data. one of my drives is starting to give errors.
[16:26:09] <cmn32480> well... if I don't work there are no stories for the weekend
[16:26:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya know what we need? some unpaid interns we can lord it over and make work weekends.
[16:27:04] <cmn32480> unpaid interns?
[16:27:10] <cmn32480> like the rest of the editorial staff?
[16:27:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, what yall make - 100%
[16:28:01] <cmn32480> I asked aabout a pay raise.
[16:28:09] <cmn32480> they said sure. 100% increase
[16:28:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> woot
[16:28:33] <cmn32480> 100% of my editorial pay.
[16:28:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> really raking it in now then.
[16:28:57] <cmn32480> that and the change in my couch cusions might buy a cup of coffee
[16:29:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> one of these days maybe you'll catch up with us devs. we make like 600% what the editors do.
[16:29:35] <cmn32480> wow...
[16:29:39] * cmn32480 is jealous
[16:29:49] <cmn32480> 1/2 the hours for that much more $$
[16:30:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> it's cause of the mad skillz
[16:30:13] <cmn32480> uh huh
[16:33:09] <cmn32480> geez... even the RSS feed is thin
[16:33:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> hrm... 4TB looks like the sweet spot for hard drives this year.
[16:33:50] <cmn32480> prolly
[16:33:58] <cmn32480> even the WD Golds are reasonable
[16:34:08] <cmn32480> I just bought 4 of them
[16:34:11] <cmn32480> for work
[16:34:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> i may hafta get me one. using one drive for winders games and losing another to drive errors has me down to 1TB for /home
[16:35:04] <cmn32480> ruh roh
[16:35:17] <cmn32480> the WD GOlds are the 5 year warranty, hot swappable ones
[16:35:26] <cmn32480> you may not need that
[16:35:32] <cmn32480> BLack may be sufficient
[16:36:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> haven't trusted WD in a long time. they were the failingest drives there were last time i had to test a batch of returned hdds
[16:36:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> maxtor was more reliable.
[16:36:35] <cmn32480> I think Seagate holds that title atm
[16:36:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> likely. they used to be the best too.

[20:02:42] <chromas> from the wink dept
[20:04:58] <nick> i'm sure gathering intelligence for the security of the nation is far more important than the whim of some here today, gone tomorrow politician
[20:10:56] <chromas> Maybe they will stop the collection. Turns out nobody uses phones anymore
[20:11:35] <chromas> Everyone switched to cellphones, and it turns out cellphones suck as phones, so they gave up and went to sleep
[20:12:45] <nick> can't disagree, being on the phone sucks
