06:39.32obeardlyFor what it's worth, I finally got Devuan installed on my new laptop.(Dell XPS 15 9560)  Still working on getting the wireless functional, but everything else seems good to go.
06:40.21KatolaZgreat obeardly
06:40.23KatolaZcongrats
06:40.40obeardlyThanks.
06:40.43KatolaZ:)
06:40.56KatolaZlet me know when you are ready with the mirror thing
06:42.11obeardlyGot the hardware I needed yesterday.  It's put together, but I haven't booted it yet. Was planning on doing in the AM at work.
06:47.28obeardlyKatolaZ: It's almost 02:00.  I gotta get some rack.  Is tomorrow okay for that server?  If you need it now, I'll get it up tonight?
06:49.00KatolaZobeardly: go to sleep mate
06:49.09KatolaZI didn't mean "now" :D
06:49.13obeardlyNo worries.
06:49.18KatolaZ;)
06:49.28obeardlyIf I didn't have to order hardware it would have been up yesterday.
06:49.36obeardlyBut I needed hard drive brackets.
06:49.56KatolaZobeardly: no rush
06:50.00obeardlyHow much disk space? Will 600GB be enough?
06:50.07KatolaZyep
06:50.13KatolaZmore than enough atm
06:50.24KatolaZthe mirror will take about 10GB atm
06:50.29obeardlyIt's 600GB on Velociraptor 10K SATA in a RAID10
06:50.30KatolaZwill grow in the future
06:50.34KatolaZwowowow
06:50.35KatolaZ:D
06:51.00obeardlyThe problem was I physically ran out of room for more disk.
06:51.44KatolaZehehehe
06:52.07obeardlyBut I've got 4x300GB WD Velociraptors running on an Areca 5030 hardware RAID in RAID10.
06:52.14obeardlyIt should make a nice mirror.
06:52.40chillfannice
06:53.55obeardlyIt's only a quad-core AMD Phenom with 8GB RAM.  I hope that's enough.
06:54.11obeardlyThe original amprolla server has 16GB RAM.
06:55.19golinuxobeardly: Did you use the refracta-nox to istall?
06:55.26golinuxinstall
06:55.39obeardlyNope, used a standard Devuan UEFI ISO.
06:56.16golinuxSo you figured out why is wasn't seeing the drive
06:56.16obeardlyHad to get into the shell during install, chroot into the enviroment, manually install GRUB on the disk, then go into the BIOS and manually add an EFI record, and then all was good.
06:56.40obeardlyNope.
06:56.55golinuxIt shall remain a mystery.
06:56.57obeardlyI just downloaded the most recent UEFI ISO
06:57.25golinuxCool
06:57.51obeardlyNow if I could just my wireless working on it, it would be perfect.

07:00.06KatolaZobeardly: mirrors need bandwidth more than RAM
07:00.47obeardlyWell, my data center has two 50Mbps fiber connections, dual-homed for redundancy, one through ATT, one through WOW.
07:01.01obeardlyThat's 50Mbps full-duplex.
07:01.09KatolaZshould be enough :)
07:01.34KatolaZmost of the mirrors have between 50Mb/s and 1GB/s
07:02.06obeardlyAre they over dedicated fiber?
07:04.50obeardlyWe needed redundancy and stability more than speed.  We could have done 1Gbps metro-ethernet for about the same price, but it wouldn't have been near as stable.
07:05.24KatolaZobeardly: varying mileage
07:05.34KatolaZsome of them are uni mirrors
07:05.45KatolaZsome other are providers
07:05.47obeardlyThat's a nice land

22:39.31zomaarBeen reading some slackdot and the register, I am surprised by much more 'sane' (from my perspective) attitudes about systemd than I expected from my linux experience
22:39.59zomaarIe. I mean that most people actually do not have very positive attitudes about systemd.
22:40.44zomaarWhen you only hop around in the Debian/Ubuntu crowds it appears to be the resverse

22:42.50zomaarOne person mentioned on Ubuntu Xenial using the recovery mode and having Systemd pipe in with the emergy mode at the same time, rendering the entire thing completely unusable, which is my experience exactly.

22:45.32zomaarI mentioned this on the Ubuntu user list and I remember everyone thinking I am an idiot for having a problem with a dysfunctional recovery mode.

23:32.18Pixelzprobably because it was written for kids with laptops who don't do anything other than install ubuntu and use the web browser
23:32.26Pixelzobviously the init isn't gonna matter one bit to them
23:33.48msiismpwd is a shell builtin. so why is there /bin/pwd?
23:34.05msiismthere's no /bin/cd, for example.

23:38.52Pixelz/bin/pwd is a separate thing
23:38.55Pixelznot part of the shell
23:42.17msiismPixelz: right. but why is it needed and what is being executed when i run `pwd` in bash?
23:43.19Pixelzafaik, /bin/pwd just calls getcwd()
23:43.34Pixelzso it's what the shell initially uses to figure out which working dir it's in
23:43.52Pixelzafter that it keeps track on which directory you're in as you move around
23:45.02msiismok, i'll test that
23:45.49msiismok, i probably understodd that wrong
23:46.30msiismyou weren't implying that the output of /bin/pwd and pwd of a perticular shell would fiffer if you cd into another directory, right?
23:46.43msiismdiffer...
23:47.29Pixelzno
23:47.55Pixelzwhen the shell launches, or any program, it doesn't know which working directory it's in
23:48.02Pixelzso there's a system call that tells you
23:48.18Pixelzand /bin/pwd just does the same thing
23:49.31Pixelzat least that's my understanding of it
23:50.33Pixelzof course, what we would really need is a more modern way of doing this
23:50.41Pixelzsomething like, say, systemd-getpwdd
23:52.54msiismPixelz: ok, i see.
23:52.54msiismbut why would we need a more modern way?
23:53.35Pixelzthat part was sarcasm :p
