| 22:10.10 | nox- | moin |
| 22:13.08 | EthanG | hallo |
| 22:16.34 | nox- | moin EthanG |
| 22:20.48 | EthanG | how's life nox? |
| 22:21.40 | nox- | a friend's ircd is down and i also dont see him on other channels... |
| 22:22.05 | nox- | and you? |
| 22:22.24 | EthanG | sounds like his net's down |
| 22:23.00 | nox- | yeah apparently |
| 22:23.13 | EthanG | I'm ok, not enough sleep but have just got a couple of dockstars to use as low-power servers |
| 22:25.14 | nox- | oh i see thats a variant of the sheevaplug? |
| 22:25.20 | EthanG | yeppers |
| 22:26.01 | EthanG | well, same core, but sold for a different purpose and probably underpriced to encourage the sale of hard drives ^^; |
| 22:26.51 | EthanG | $40, less if you're lucky |
| 22:27.43 | nox- | and what are you running on there, some linux variant? |
| 22:31.43 | EthanG | I'm going to put Plan 9 on one, it'll be my file server and a web server. The other one I guess I'll experiment with, have some ideas of writing a simple OS |
| 22:32.49 | EthanG | well, I got the 2nd one because they were so cheap. ^^' |
| 22:33.41 | nox- | o_O plan9 runs on arm? |
| 22:34.32 | EthanG | yep, it's had an arm toolchain for ages. it's really trivial to cross-compile, too |
| 22:34.59 | nox- | and the kernel knows sheevaplug/dockstar too? |
| 22:36.05 | EthanG | the "9fans" community have been working on a sheevaplug port for a few months. it's more or less all there now, just some usb devices don't work but all usb storage works |
| 22:37.16 | EthanG | someone just got Plan 9 going on a Zaurus too the other week. I asked him if he'd release the code but he wants to clean it up a bit first |
| 22:37.18 | nox- | wow |
| 22:37.21 | EthanG | ^^' |
| 22:39.06 | EthanG | little machines like the shevaplug and dockstar are right up Plan 9's street, it has something of a "1 machine for one task" philosophy, which I won't quite be fitting into making a combined fs/web/auth server |
| 22:43.23 | nox- | what kind of thruput to you get when using it as nas? |
| 22:44.03 | EthanG | haven't tried it yet, but I haven't heard any complaints |
| 22:44.25 | EthanG | Coraid sell NAS appliences with Plan 9 inside |
| 22:44.49 | EthanG | .. if that's of any relevance, lol |
| 22:45.00 | nox- | o_O |
| 22:45.54 | EthanG | it is in some ways every bit as quick as Linux, but not in all ways. I think the network storage is very good because it was designed from the begining to both use and be NAS |
| 22:51.33 | EthanG | Well I've got to hit the sack. See ya |
| 22:51.48 | nox- | sweet dreams... :) |
| 22:52.26 | EthanG | cheers :) |
