<0> psuedo
<1> fake makes it sound worse :)
<0> i like it for work
<0> i can hide stuff under it, and people don't know ****.
<1> lol
<2> lol
<0> looks like a transparent window.
<2> when people look at a unix term they don't know wth is going on anyhow
<3> looks like some crack cocaine
<1> usually people know from the window titles anyway
<2> just leave a script that loops fake copilling output and when people come to your desk open that up
<2> :p
<0> Kyran, yeah, but they know what an irc window looks like.
<3> D-:
<0> i just keep a gnome-terminal running top beside xchat
<2> my centericq is grey + black background if your just looking at the screen it looks like i'm looking at a mrtg outputter
<2> lol
<0> the terminal window is larger
<0> so if someone walks up, i just hit the terminal bar, it becomes focused, and hides the xchat.
<4> someone know how I can "test" a tape drive with the gentoo livecd?
<5> i wonder if i can use something to enable this wifi on/off button on my keyboard
<4> never used a tape drive before
<3> funklord, use your tongue
<5> funklord; load the module for it
<5> if the livecd even has drivers for those
<0> motion, it doesnt work on my laptop
<2> gentoo livecd is kind of broken for installs hehe
<0> when you load the driver it should turn on.
<2> i'll never use that ever again :p
<5> funklord; throw it away and invest in a dvd+rw-dl
<4> motion: what device naming do they use?
<3> kyran you mean the gtk installer?
<2> yep
<5> funklord; whatever driver that was written for your tape drive
<0> i've never had a problem with the cli installer.
<2> did you try installing any other kernel except the livecd kernel :p
<5> its probably generic actualy
<2> it coredumps hehe
<4> motion: I've thrown away my dvdrw drives
<5> smart move
<5> everyone is moving to tape anyway
<0> if you can call it an installer.
<5> your better off
<2> I installed the livecd kernel then recompiled it afterwards
<4> dvds contain too little data
<6> 9.5gb isn't too bad...
<5> so wait another year for blu-ray
<5> invest in a 3u 10TB disk array
<4> I can store 200/400G on these tapes, that's fine
<0> haha!
<0> gl with blue-ray
<0> gh with hd-dvd
<0> err
<0> gl.
<5> hd-dvd is worthless
<6> Go buy a RAID-5 NAS, and just back everything up to it.
<0> both will fail
<4> once optical media has ~200G space, I'll think about it
<6> That can hold as much data as you want.
<0> people arent going to replace there dvd collection.
<5> blu-ray looks good... 50GB to a dvd ?!@#
<5> katepls; i never said they would
<5> thats a whole lot of porn on one disc
<2> lol blu-ray dvd gets scratched and you start punching walls
<2> :p
<0> 5gb is a whole lot of porn
<6> Tape isn't exactly awesome either.
<5> katepls; the data is like SUPER SUPER close to the bottom
<6> You can't trust it after a few backups
<5> you scratch it its dead
<5> err
<0> tape is still probably the best backup method.
<2> I used a raid system on my server much better
<2> hehe
<4> I'm backing up a 1.5T array onto tape, even that is gonna take ages
<1> yay i can run xgl in a seperate window, but not in place of my existing one :(
<5> kyran; memorex made a plastic thats strong enough to protect the discs
<6> Yeah, just be willing to buy lots of tapes, lots of times
<0> Kyran, so what happens when your house burns down, and your raid is gone?
<5> kyran; but suposedly it costs a lot to manufacture
<5> kyran; you backup from offsite
<0> tape is too damn expensive!
<6> Offsite NAS
<0> at least for home use.
<4> anyhow, anyone know what the standard device name for scsi-tape storage is?
<2> kate the backup uploads everything to another server in texas every day
<5> stick your 3u in a firesafe box
<5> like in oceans 12
<2> checks md5checksum if it's different re-uploads
<0> Kyran, you said you used raid as your method of backup
<5> wtf
<5> kyran; look at boxbackup
<0> you made no mention to a remote backup.
<2> ya but raid is raid if your house burns down then ...
<7> or rdiff-backup
<2> my bad :p
<5> katepls; onsite backups are .... next to useless
<0> i do both
<7> I use rdiff-backup to offsitebackup my colocation
<7> :)
<2> most people keep the Data backups in their office anyhow
<2> :p
<4> tapes can be sent to a safe place
<5> so can harddrives
<5> ill throw your tapes through a demagnetizer
<0> tapes are cheaper than hdds.
<8> I'll be carrying my hdd with me 3000 miles next week
<2> just buy removable bays and a hot swappable mobo and your set
<5> so.. harddrives are faster
<0> my server has hot swapable scsi disks
<5> what good are tapes to a business if they take a week to restore
<8> I'm looking into hotswap sata
<0> at work, we use tapes
<0> at home i'm using dvds. 8/
<4> tape drives are typically 20-40Mb/s, it's faster than ata drives
<5> so stop using ata?
<5> ;)
<0> by ata i ***ume you mean pata.
<5> sata2 disks can wait *theoretically* reach 1.5GB/sec
<0> i thought it was 3.0?
<5> thats just what i remember seeing on boxs. i could be wrong
<4> if you buy less expensive sata drives, they're still the same performance as pata
<7> SATA1 = 150Mbit
<0> i think sata150 is 1.5.
<7> SATA2 = 300
<0> i thought so.
<0> sata1 ****s ****s
<4> might as well buy 15krpm scsi drives if you're going for performance
<9> first of all, there is no such thing as sata1 and sata2...
<7> officially there isn't
<0> there are different revisions of the sata standard.
<9> not really..
<0> which are called sata1, and sata2 by people.
<0> go look on newegg.
<7> much like numbering is used to indicate revisions
<0> they sell sata1, and sata2.
<9> just different features of the standard implemented..
<0> same standard?
<4> I don't buy pata nowadays, strictly because of electrical issues
<0> never realized that.
<4> 80pin cables break easily
<0> regardless, that is an accepted way of identifying what type of disk you have.
<9> people just call sata with 300Mbit and NCQ sata2, something which can be misleading..
<0> how is that misleading?
<0> i'm not understanding here.
<9> because suddenly some manufacturer is calling drives with 300Mbit and no NCQ for sata2
<9> or 150 with NCQ.. you get my grip...
<0> yeah
<9> no official standard..
<0> i shop a lot of hardware, from my experience you're either looking for sataI, and sataII.
