<1> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coiwZxuBW78
<2> or maybe not
<3> wow
<3> sam jack is a PIMP
<3> []D[][]\/[][]D
<4> ah.. digi -https
<4> but you have to kinda log in to get anywhere :)
<2> oh well
<2> i was getting worried
<2> cause we have em
<2> dns issues here :)
<5> howda
<6> hi z0g
<5> i thinks me computer rebooted at some point in time
<5> i need a new ups
<7> we are pleased to inform you this troublemaker has arrived
<0> you think anyone actually cares?
<5> not really.
<5> but i like to blab.
<7> awwww. I'm heartbroken
<0> z0rgatr0n; that was re Deryl not you :D
<5> :D
<8> sup z0g :D
<6> z0rgatr0n: nick just got/ordered a new ups
<7> z0rgatr0n: he hurt my feelings. make him stop
<5> tbg: wheredja order from?
<5> hi seg
<6> dell i think he said, said there was a "crazy coupn deal thing"
<5> i'm looking at this refurbished APC 2200 XL unit. Man, this thing would keep 5 computers up for an hour. http://www.refurbups.com/s.nl/sc.2/category.8/it.A/id.596/.f
<5> check out the price. thats a crazy deal
<9> hmmz
<6> large chunk off the pice, but still seem rpicey
<6> pricey
<5> shipping would likely be another hundred at least :(
<5> too bad they all continue to use lead acid batteries... thats what makes em all so expensive to ship.
<0> z0rgatr0n; liion would be WAY more expensive.
<0> and, nicad/mh **** as standby sources. keep them fully charged and they die
<0> z0rgatr0n; my favrite is to score a old SmartUPS being tossed at work/whatever, then order new batts from digikey.com :D
<5> :-)
<5> heh. I'd *love* to do that at work, since all our UPSes are 750XL smarts
<0> you somoetimies have to do a bit of fabbing to fit generic SLA's into a APC cuz they like to use special connecctors etc.
<0> but its usually minimal.
<5> and those 750xls weigh a freeking ton
<0> not as much as my SU 2000 :-D
<5> gheh
<0> that thing is a BEAST. with 4 x 12V20AH batteries in the base unit, and the power module on top, its probably 150 lbs
<5> oh wow
<5> it would be kinda cool to get my hands on an older Matrix UPS
<0> OEM was 4x12V17AH, but panasonic makes a 20AH thats the same size
<5> they just look kinda cool. like almost furniture-esque like a cray
<5> yikes. kinda pricey though. http://www.refurbups.com/s.nl/sc.2/category.9/it.A/id.576/.f
<10> I upgraded a friends hdd to an 80gb from a 40... since the 40 was just a 5400rpm i used data lifeguard tools from wdc to copy xp all over, and I set the old 40 as a slave drive on the same controller, but now windows shows a boot screen with two windows options .. even though the 40 is now empty, I checked boot.ini and it only has one boot option, same with the options in the my computer properties window. I set the delay to 1 second, but I'
<0> a SU2000 is thte same size as thiis SU2200 (newer version of the same thing), http://www.refurbups.com/s.nl/sc.2/category.3/it.A/id.639/.f
<5> but the 2200XL RM unit costs less then that :( and its XL
<5> though that doesnt need a special 30 amp circuit
<0> I *almost* swiped a 2000Xl that was being tossed, but it was a triple-decker :D
<0> only difference is, you can put 3-4 48V battery packs on it...
<5> when we put a 3000 in our rack, we had an electrician wire up a dedicated 30 amp circuit just for it
<0> and, I discovered the local Battery Plus store has those connector plugs in stock :D
<0> so 4 x 100AH Costco Marine/RV batteries woulda worked
<5> im too honest to swipe an old UPS, i tell them the batteries can be changed :(
<0> holy crap, that could run my house for a few hours
<0> we were tossing these cuz they were just too old and we didn't need them anymore
<5> oh yeah you could easily do that. those XL units have m***ive battery chargers built into them, designed to charge dozens of daisy-chained battery units
<8> <0> we were tossing these cuz they were just too old and we didn't need them anymore
<8> ill take em
<8> $100
<0> SegWork; long gone, this was last year. anyways, they went to corprorate surplus, which is a black hole
<8> yea figures
<8> americans as usual wasting $ and resources
<0> and even without batteries, shipping that 2000XL would be $$$$
<8> lol
<5> During the hurricanes, when we finally got generators, 15,000 watt Generac portable generators, and started plugging in our drained 750XL units, after about 5, the generators breaker would trip, thats how much juice their chargers were pulling, and that was just to charge its one internal battery.
<0> when labor and storage space costs more than net worth, um, who's wasting $ ?
<0> it wouldd be wasting $$ to save and reuse them
<8> no
<5> but man, that voltage correction of the apc smarts was quite useful during the hurricanes and trying to run an entire office on two 15k generators that were running close to full load.
<8> just give them to people who are poor
<2> jesus ****ing christ
<2> this week has been nothing but equipment failures
<8> ys?
<8> sup
<5> i havent had any failures this week yet, which makes me happy. Well, one case fan replacement.
<5> that was more cosmetic then anything (sounded like the office was infested with crickets)
<5> going thru a migration to Symantec AV 10.1, surprisingly smooth so far.
<3> how do i make an x509 client certificate ?
<5> i wonder, these days, with modern power supplies having almost perfect PFC, should watt be looked at more then VA?
<5> at least a good high end psu
<11> !google how do I make an x509 client certificate?
<12> http://www.abc.se/~m9339/prog/ssl/SSLtcl-7.html
<4> volts * amps = watts no?
<5> they use different values for odd reasons, something about the load over time is not constant
<4> ahhh
<5> ie, while an incandescent bulb would be a pure resistive load and the current draw would be equal over time, a switching power supply without PFC is very different
<4> its sort of criminal that i have an electronics background and never understood the diff. between volt-amps and watts :)
<5> sdfsdf
<2> OK BBS
<2> im ready whenever you arte re: ns1`
<11> shweet
<2> ****er just blew up today
<2> freaked me out
<11> ouch
<11> I guess that means I need to work fast :)
<2> oh no
<2> i fixed it
<5> is johnny cash dead?
<11> yeah
<13> heh
<13> been dead for a couple years
<13> i'm trying to export the email addresses of members on a distribution list in active directory
<13> anyone?
<4> hm
<4> get softerra ldap browser, find the list, and export it to ldif then clean the file up
<4> shouldnt take long
<4> as long as the list contains actual email addresses, and not just pointers to other objects
<14> weird. servercentral go byebye
<15> Hey.
<15> PXE booting doesn't require anything on the clientside does it? You just set the machine to boot from PXE in the bios and that's it, right?
<16> yup
<15> That's what I thought. Thanks.
<16> Pre-boot eXecution Environment :)
<14> Yeah
<14> playing with ris?
<16> i'm so glad we have RIS now
<16> no more looking for floppy disks
<14> i funked with ris at one time. but determined its way too slow on a 100mbit network, id rather walk to the machine with a hard drive.
<15> I don't know what RIS is
<15> I'm answering an email from a friend
<14> remote installation services
<16> Remote Installation Services
<15> I've never used PXE
<14> im sure once we go gigabit then it will be worth monkeying with RIS. some may argue i can get a cart with a RIS server PC and bring it directly to the machine and crossover connect it gigabit but with that much effort why not just sling another hard disk on it
<16> umm
<16> what's wrong with RIS over 100mbit? yea, its a bit slow
<16> but, it works fine
<1> heh
<1> we use ris a lot here
<1> and its never the tech;'s installing on peoples client machines
<1> its people installing their own machines and joining the domain
<1> all it asks is username/p***word and machine name
<16> nice, you teach your people ris?
<1> then boom they get a ris'd image
<16> that's sweet
<1> teach them? you dont have to know anything
<1> heh
<14> slow? Yeah! heh. man. our "standard" image takes over an hour to install over RIS. I take that exact same sysprepped image, carry it around on a 10k rpm scsi disk, sling it onto the machine, acronis has that image on there in 5 minutes
<16> heh, sorry... our userbase is different then
<16> my userbase wouldn't know the first thing about enabling PXE
<1> just enable booting offf pxe which there are screenshots of on the it website
<16> z0g^sn: yea, our image takes about 4 hours
