04:33.26rsimpkinsWell our datacenter UPS works. Just incase y'all were wondering. :)
04:34.07findlayrsimpkins: how big is it?
04:34.31rsimpkinsfindlay: this one is pretty good sized.
04:34.48findlaycontainer-sized?
04:35.22rsimpkinsI dunno, maybe 70-80 thousand square feet total?
04:35.32findlaywow
04:35.33rsimpkinsMaybe more including office space, probably north of 100
04:35.37rsimpkins100 thousand.

04:35.56findlayoh
04:36.09findlayI was wondering how big your UPS was :)
04:36.17rsimpkinsWe have a UPS in the datacenter, and it works. Except the overhead lights aren't connected to it. :)
04:36.37findlayout of power? :)
04:36.39rsimpkinsOh gosh, we have 1.5MW just to this room. So I'm guessing pretty awefully big.
04:36.49rsimpkinsOn generator now. Big storm in dallas at the moment.
04:37.14findlaybetter to have one big one than lots of small ones?
04:37.39rsimpkinsI dunno, probably more cost effective.
04:37.49rsimpkinsSo if that is part of the 'better' equation - then probably.

14:44.41bbeattieAnyone seen an fstab mount a filesystem out of order from the fstab? I'm trying to figure out why /store/data is being mounted before /data/samba before /data so I have to unmount and remount /data/samba to get to the samba data.
14:51.32kai4785I think fstab mounts them in order, but they don't wait for the file system to finish mounting before it moves on to the next one, except for / ofcourse

15:28.03goozbachperhaps I forgot to disable the firewall, I can't seem to even ping them.
15:30.20bbeattieatoponce: because files that are on sda3 in /store/samba/touchedfiles appear when it also says /store/samba/ is mounted, but the touchedfiles are on sda3, not the cifs mount
15:31.47atoponceso, /dev/sda3 is getting mounted twice? or it's getting mounted to the wrong spot?
15:33.22bbeattieonce,
15:33.30bbeattiesda3 should be /store, a cifs mount on /store/samba
15:34.05bbeattiea df shows both are mounted on boot, but data in /store/samba is data from sda3, not samba
15:34.51bbeattieand there's another quirk that about 10 minutes into boot, the samba shares vanish and ?--------- ? ?     ?     ?                ? /store/samba appears in /store

18:56.54findlaySargun: a vertical line is undefined, therefore it has no domain, therefore it's not a function
18:57.09Sargunugh.
18:57.26Sargunfindlay, If I want to find the intersection of a vertical line and another line, then what do I do?
18:57.35findlaywhatever it is you're trying to do with vertical lines can almost certainly be accomodated by some transform or other
18:57.41Sargunsolve for that x
18:57.43Sargunuhh
18:57.53sjansenalter your coordinate system
18:58.05Sargunugh, I'm going to have to right routines to check for undefined slopes.
18:58.28findlaythe fact that vertical lines translate into singular algebraic objects is an interesting introspection into the fundamental relationships of mathematical realms
18:58.40sjansenI recommend a Negroponte transform. It's computational complexity is low, and the degree of unpredictability makes it more exciting.
19:00.10Sargunheh.
19:00.19sjansenAlthough using a radio-cubical coordinate system can also be enjoyable since it has an unusual tendency to result in images vaguely similar to New Yorker cartoons.

19:01.38findlaylines are just fine, but when you try to map them out with coordinates and then construct functions from those coordinates, unfortunate things will happen
19:02.56findlayso as you see, mathematics in the end is all about definitions and the clever things you can construct with the things you define
19:03.20findlay'following the rules'.  Ask Wittgenstein about that one
19:04.34findlaycontrary to silly popular belief, mathematics does not rest upon some cosmic consistency or certainty

19:29.33goozbachI forgot that SUSE has to reboot twice during an install
19:29.52goozbachso I took out my disc on the first reboot, and walked away...
19:30.05nick125SuSE :(
19:30.22goozbachcame back about 45min later and it's sitting on the bios screen saying "no operating system installed"
19:31.26sjansennick125: To be fair, anyone who complains about "SuSE" instead of "SUSE" probably hasn't used it in forever.

19:36.16Sargunerg, FSCK!
19:36.36sinuhesjansen: I know this from experience.  My last version of SuSE was 6.3. (I saw 7, but didn't use it extensively.)
19:36.39SargunThey freaking intersect you piece of crap junk
19:38.27sjansenI plan on running openSUSE 11.0 for awhile when it comes out. Since Novel bought them, them I get the impression they're drifting toward sanity... but that might just be wishful thinking.
19:39.34mrpullsjansen: novel will _improve_ the Suse situation?
19:39.57sinuhemrpull: That was my thought, too...
19:41.29sjansenmrpull: Have you looked at some of the crazy-a** things SUSE does? sux, SuSEconfig, rug, their stupid one kernel at a time upgrades, a boot process built using make, and more
19:42.08mrpullmaybe novel's ties to microsoft will help them out <joking>
19:42.14goozbach... the fact it takes HOURS to do a simple install
19:42.31findlay~make sjansen
19:42.32ibotmake: *** No rule to make target `sjansen'.  Stop.
19:42.42goozbach... the fact it takes three reboots to do an install (very microsoft-ish)
19:42.58mrpullI haven't tried suse for anything beyond a desktop install to poke my head around
19:43.58sjansenThankfully, some of those things are historical. The make based boot seems to have been a failed experiment. sux has been replaced by pam_xauth. They've added libvirt and virt-manager as an alternative to their annoying YaST Xen wizard.
19:45.42sjansenHeck, they've even added the "service" command. A choice I can only explain by guessing that Novell is pushing their engineers to make it easier for customers to transition from RH, a natural result of which is less NIH wackiness.
19:47.05sjansenRH may have its faults, but it's generally done a better job of working with the community to get it's work adopted by others, and RH hasn't been afraid of copying the best ideas from Debian.
19:48.41sjansenAnd speaking of community, openSUSE is finally starting to come into its own. That's going to be another force for good.

20:59.19elgis that a dog trainer?
20:59.28tensaielg: question about transcoding in myth. if I understand correctly, myth can record at full resolutions and then reencode at lower bitrates, right? is that what you're doing?
20:59.49elgsort of, and yes
20:59.54goozbachI watched "Curious Jarod" night before last, and "The Paper Clock" last night
21:00.07goozbach<3's the Pretender
21:00.11beandogtensai, depends on your card, as well
21:00.17elgwith an hdhr (that's what you have right?) myth can *only* "record" at full resolution
21:00.28elgit doesn't really record, it just saves the mpeg2 stream to disk
21:00.33tensaielg: yes, that's what I have and that's what I suspected
21:00.44elgthen you can transcode it to save space or make it playable, etc.

21:00.53Sarguntensai, why not?
21:01.01levielg: How is saving the stream to disk not really recording?
21:01.03tensaiSargun: why not not?
21:01.13Sargun-_-
21:01.26elgstream size depends on the station too
21:01.26Sarguntensai, what resolution is this tv?
21:01.40tensaiSargun: the display? it's an analog tv, ntsc.
21:01.41elglevi: it all depends on what one means by record
21:01.55Sarguntensai, how many FPS?
21:01.56elgtensai: i transcode all of my stuff down to 640xauto
21:02.06levielg: What's your definition that it doesn't meet?
21:02.13elgsince it's getting resized to roughly that size on playback anyway

21:02.55tensaielg: how does one set that up? I've tried a few things and I never get any transcoding.
21:03.11elglevi: to me record implies a change of format. you have analog signal and you store it on magnetic tape, or sample it and store it on disk
21:03.19markl_tensai: 2.5G is nothing, that is probably not even a hi def signal
21:03.23tensaiSargun: how many fps is the TV? it's 30 fps interleaved. that's standard ntsc.
21:03.32tensaimarkl_: yes, that's what concerns me
21:03.33elgif I copy a movie file from one HD to another, did I record something?
21:03.42SargunTene, Wikipedia: NTSC with a frame rate of 23.976 fps is described in the NTSC-film standard.
21:03.46elgtechnically, in the sense that copying any file is "recording to disk", perhaps
21:03.47markl_actually 2.5G per half hour might be nbc
21:03.52tensaielg: yes and you should pay your tax to the mpaa
21:03.54elgif I download an mp3 from the web, did I record it?
21:04.13markl_tensai: just get a multi terabyte raid array and you'll be ok
21:04.33markl_imo the transcoding isn't worth the pain, i can barely tolerate mythcommflag
21:04.35tensaimarkl_: bugger's too loud already. that's the last thing I need. would be fun though.
21:04.43elgbut in the sense of "i captured the bits flying through the air for later playback" it does fit
21:04.49markl_tensai: pxe boot to an iscsi array in the other room :)
21:05.00levielg: If it's a live stream that happens to be in mp3 format, 'record' seems as good a term as any.
21:05.01TeneSargun: Thanks!  I always wanted to know that!  Why are you telling me, though?
21:05.02nick125anyone here use GFS?
21:05.13Sargunnick125, the RH thing?
21:05.15elgit's a close fit, but depending on the context it could be glazed over and the significance of the not-really-recordingness missed, which is why I pointed it out explicitly
21:05.34Tenenick125: I've used it in the lab a few times.
21:05.42elglevi: I say saving is a better term
21:05.42nick125Sargun: yeah
21:05.47levielg: I'm just not seeing what essential sense of the word 'recording' it doesn't capture.
21:05.55tensainick125: same here. used it once in a test environment. never really got it working right.
21:06.12nick125I was thinking of giving GFS+AoE a try.
21:06.19SargunTene, 56 mbit/sec with no compression..
21:06.20elglevi: record might have implied that it could be recorded at varying quality/bitrate/etc.
21:06.26leviSo, 'saving' might be a better fit, but you're saying that 'recording' is technically incorrect on some level, and I'm trying to see why.
21:06.36elgI didn't know if the word record implied that to tensai or not, so I made it explicit
21:06.38Sargunnick125, goozbach must have. he is an RHCX
21:06.59TeneSargun: you're tab-completing wrong.  Check your tab-completiong.
21:07.08TeneSargun: you want to talk to tensai, not tene.
21:07.12elgbecause with an hdhr, you get the stream you get, and then you can transcode it. there's no changing "recording quality"
21:07.21SargunTene, Hmph, you guys are about the same ;-P
21:07.43TeneSargun: true, but tensai is missing the hilights.
21:07.45goozbachSargun: RHCX doesn't mean you know GFS
21:07.48markl_what is an hdhr?
21:07.50levielg: Anyway, I understand what you meant now, though "recording quality" with other types of recording is just transcoding by another name.
21:07.56markl_how does it compare to a pchdtv 5500
21:07.58elgincidentally, HD is something like 20mbit/s which is about 9G/hour, so 2.5 G for half an hour would be roughly half HD, and it might be HD resolution with lower bitrate
21:08.03tensaimarkl_: hdhomerun
21:08.05goozbachGFS is only handled in the RHCA level classes
21:08.18Sargungoozbach, you never did the RHCA level classes?
21:08.27goozbachnope
21:08.29Sargungoozbach, All RHCXs should have to be RHCAs! :-P
21:08.31tensaimarkl_: don't know how it compares though. the hdhr has dual tuners and just feeds an mpeg2 stream across the network.
21:08.40sinuheI can't imagine wanting to do RHCA.  RHCSS sounds interesting, but I doubt I'd be interested in much more.
21:08.42markl_dual tuners is nice
21:08.43goozbachSargun: doesn't work that way
21:08.58goozbachwished it had...
21:09.00elglevi: well, yes, but since it's encoding from analog it's not really *trans*coding, so much as *en*coding. but yeah, same CPU requirements though myth doesn't (afaict) support transcoding on the fly as you save the mpeg2 stream
21:09.02goozbachbut oh well
21:09.03sinuheSome things in computers just aren't that interesting.
21:09.06Sargungoozbach, Yeah, I know, but that's how Cisco does it, sort of..
21:09.08tensaiI think I've got too much signal loss with my splitter though. right now I've only got one tuner active
21:09.09markl_i have a pair of 5500's and it is kind of a PITA to get going due to weird module issues when you have 2
21:09.13sinuheNow selinux, kerberos...aaahhh
21:09.24Sargunsinuhe, SELinux :-(
21:09.30sinuhe:-(?
21:09.36elgtensai: so when you set up a recording, you can choose the recording profile and the transcoding profile, and whether to allow it to auto-transcode
21:09.37SargunSELinux is a pain
21:09.51elgthe recording profile, just ignore it with an hdhr
21:09.52sinuheA pain for crackers, yes.  :-)
21:09.55tensaimarkl_: yeah, that's why I went with the hdhr. dead simple dual tuners. and only $169 to boot.
21:09.56levielg: Analog signals are encoded, too, though I guess the term encoding is more common for digital.
21:10.06elgbasically the only setting you can set in a recording profile is whether or not to allow auto transcoding
21:10.36levimarkl_: That's the advantage of the hdhomerun.  No kernel issues whatsoever; no driver required.
21:10.39elglevi: well now you're just being silly. :) of course they're encoded but they're not digitally encoded.
21:11.18tensaielg: I upgraded myth from 0.20 to 0.21 last night and now I've got that magical xv setting you were telling me about
21:11.20beandogmeh
21:11.24beandogjust get an hd tivo :)
21:11.29elgtensai: you might want to enable transcoding in the default hdhr recording profile
21:11.32levielg: Yeah, but I'm saying the ADC process is a transcoding proces, because you've got to decode the analog signal and then encode the digital one.

21:12.14elgthough it's not the ADC process that's transcoding
21:12.33elgADC is just ADC. the interpretation of the sample analog signal is the transcoding bit
21:12.43beandogtensai, my tivo swore me off of ever trying to hack mythtv for recording tv ever again
21:13.11elgi can't see myself paying a subscription for a PVR
21:13.15beandogI do love MythVideo though.
21:13.21beandogelg, yah, I bought a lifetime sub.
21:13.23elgsubscription for channel information (schedules direct) sure
21:13.23tensaibeandog: building it is half the fun
21:13.39mrpulltivo is the answer... though I did just trade in the directv tivo for the lousy d* branded dvr
21:13.42elgbeandog: I thought I heard they were aboloshing that and screwing the lifetime subscription customers
21:13.49levi$20/yr is completely reasonable for Schedules Direct.  I'm happy how that turned out.
21:13.50beandogelg, nope
21:13.55beandogelg, I just got mine a few weeks ago
21:14.35beandogI think its $15/yr isnt it?
21:14.39elgI might go tivo when I have the money to burn. hardly seems worth it for broadcast tv though
21:14.55elgtensai: what kind of signal gains do you get?
21:14.59beandogelg, well, yah, mines dual-tuner HD.  is very nice.  Picks up all the encrypted channels too.
21:15.06elgthe splitter I have doesn't seem to have much loss
21:15.09beandogCableCard++
21:15.16tensaielg: 65-70%
21:15.18levibeandog: So, how much was your Tivo and how does it compare with your former MythTV recording?
21:15.20beandogelg, come over some time, Ill demo it for yah
21:15.22markl_man i wish i could combine cablecard with mythtv
21:15.30markl_dish network dvr hella sucks
21:15.32elgbeandog: maybe come Christmas :)
21:15.36beandoglevi, well, tbh, I was never happy with mythtv recording anyway, so it didnt take a lot for me to jump ship
21:15.43elgI like dish's dvr
21:15.48beandoglevi, Tivo was $250 plus $400 for lifetime sub
21:15.50elgthough I've never graced a tivo
21:15.51markl_it is better than no dvr
21:15.54beandogbut, I'm hooked.
21:15.58elgbut comcast's REALLY sucked
21:15.59beandogI've got 4 at home now.  3 with lifetime subs.
21:16.00markl_tivo is about a zillion times better than dish
21:16.20elgand dish is about a zilion times better than comcast
21:16.31markl_i have heard that comcast is the worst
21:16.32levibeandog: $650 is reasonable compared to a dual-HD MythTV setup.
21:16.44elgtensai: what about with the splitter?
21:16.51beandoglevi, yah?  I guess so, never really thought about it.  One nice thing is I dont have to split between two cards.
21:17.03beandogthe cable I mean.
21:17.21beandogand yes, Comcasts' DVR will make you want to slay kittehs.
21:17.22elgwhat kind of antenna do you have? you should try the coat hanger loop
21:17.36tensaielg: haven't done a qualitative analysis. with the splitter I wasn't able to complete a channel scan.
21:17.55levibeandog: Well, there's probably a signal splitter inside the box.
21:18.03tensaielg: antenna is a massive external brute
21:18.09markl_i have the old voom dish/antenna combo still
21:18.16elgah, then the coathanger loop might not help :)
21:18.32elgbut maybe if you hook up the other tuner with one you can at least pick up some of the stations on it
21:18.47mrpullI bought an inexpensive phillips antenna to check out KJZZ's HD coverage of the jazz games
21:18.50elgyou don't have an amplifier probably
21:18.59leviMassive external antennas are generally tuned for low VHF channels, aren't they?
21:18.59mrpullPOS doesn't keep the gain setting for the amp
21:19.02beandoglevi, yah, I just mean, its nice that I don't have to split my cable one more time with an external splitter.
21:19.08mrpullevery fifteen minutes you have to get up and reset it
21:19.11beandoglevi, andd degrade the signal even more
21:19.20tensaielg: part of the problem I'm sure is that I have another splitter already in line, so my loss is even more magnified. I need to rethink my cabling.
21:19.24elglevi: depends on the design. they can do uhf too
21:19.41elgoh yeah, two or more splitters is asking for it
21:19.55levielg: Yeah, I'm just thinking that if it's really old, it might not be optimal for UHF.
21:19.57mrpullit took all of 5 seconds to google it and find that lots of others have the same problem with this antenna
21:20.07elgtensai: levi has a point - all my HD channels are (for now) UHF, and your antenna may be primarily designed for VHF

21:20.42elgmrpull: did you see my blog entry about a coathanger antenna?
21:20.50elgit beat the pants off of my RCA amplified antenna
21:20.55mrpullI did.  Are you familiar with the term WAF?
21:21.14leviAnyway, from my research, a good UHF antenna with a signal amplifier right next to it might work well if you need to go through a splitter.
21:21.14elg:)
21:21.22elgwell you can run coax to it and put it in the garage or something
21:22.01elgor just pull it out for jazz games. jazz games are probably pretty low on the WAF scale to begin with ;-)
21:22.04tensaielg: some of mine are vhf and some are uhf. channels 9, 17, 23 and 36
21:22.49levitensai: I seriously doubt any digital signals are on the real channel 9, 17, etc.
21:22.52beandogso what would be larger in size, 1080i or 720p?
