I have a new work laptop, and I am currently initialising a new server. 8 2.4ghz cores, 32gb of RAM, and a 1.5TB raid. Delicious
-
@ceruleanspark All that for a work laptop? Neat.

@nerthos Nah, that's in the server. The laptop is just a middle of the road dell, but unlike my previous laptop, this one actually works properly. Also: Biometric auth.
-
@ceruleanspark That explains why it sounded like overkill. Why do you need biometric auth?
Wednesday, 09-Jan-13 16:17:18 UTC from web-
@nerthos Because biometric auth is neat

@ceruleanspark What kind of raid and what kind of file system? That looks like a typical ZFS setup, if it wasn't for the small storage space.

@kamikaze >Small >1.5TB

@kamikaze RAID5, and "Whatever ESXi uses because it doesn't actually expose the filesystem to the user". It's going to host 3 smallish virtual machines. It actually represents a massive increase in capacity for this company.
-
@ceruleanspark Judging from these specs I'd say it's definitely not a storage solution. But it doesn't qualify as a number cruncher either. I suppose you're not allowed to tell us what it's supposed to do?

@kamikaze It's a VMware host for a trio of windows infrastructure servers (Active directory, exchange and remote desktop services).
-
@ceruleanspark Ah, I see now. I'm going to curl into a shivering ball of terror for a while.

@kamikaze I've done this before, and the number of fatalities fell within acceptable parameters.

@kamikaze 7 300GB 10K SAS drives, 6 in the RAID and one hot spare.
-
@ceruleanspark But, 7x300 is 2100
Wednesday, 09-Jan-13 16:21:19 UTC from web-
@nerthos Raid5. Redundancy for safety.
Wednesday, 09-Jan-13 16:23:05 UTC from web-
@kamikaze Oh, true.

@ceruleanspark Sass drives? I have some of those. They're what generate all my sass.
Wednesday, 09-Jan-13 16:51:36 UTC from web-
@thelastgherkin sassy computers are so annoying at times

@renovatedkitchen Did you get a new phone? I could have sworn you were on Android before...

@renovatedkitchen Hooray! And nooooooo, devil Apple products...
Wednesday, 09-Jan-13 16:56:23 UTC from web-
@xeleanorxrigbyx I dunno. I like apple because of how clean and minimalist their things are. I would never (afford) or buy something new from them.
Wednesday, 09-Jan-13 16:59:02 UTC from StatusNet iPhone-
@renovatedkitchen I do have one Apple product, I will admit it. Best device I ever had: iPod Classic. 160GB alllllll for me.
Wednesday, 09-Jan-13 17:00:56 UTC from web-
@xeleanorxrigbyx I have a 30gb iPod video that no matter what I do to it, refuses to die
Wednesday, 09-Jan-13 17:02:51 UTC from StatusNet iPhone-
@renovatedkitchen iPods do seem to be a hardy bunch. Can't vouch for an iPhone, but I like my scrollwheel.
Wednesday, 09-Jan-13 17:05:44 UTC from web-
@xeleanorxrigbyx the scroll wheel is a great design

@xeleanorxrigbyx and trying to keep track of all of us that go scuba diving
Wednesday, 09-Jan-13 16:59:34 UTC from StatusNet iPhone-
@renovatedkitchen We will grow in strength! Oh! I may have a slim chance of moving back to Florida. I can then commence diving again! :D
Wednesday, 09-Jan-13 17:00:23 UTC from web-
@xeleanorxrigbyx we shall. And that's awesome!! Best of luck! You have all my wishes. Rico is okay with moving?
Wednesday, 09-Jan-13 17:02:14 UTC from StatusNet iPhone-
@renovatedkitchen Well, I'd be moving back in with my parents when he goes to Army basic. The Air Force will be moving them soon and supposedly Florida is the first choice. So I will at least live there for a bit. :)
Wednesday, 09-Jan-13 17:05:08 UTC from web-
@xeleanorxrigbyx well that is pretty awesome! Which part is Rico going into?
Wednesday, 09-Jan-13 17:06:34 UTC from StatusNet iPhone-
@renovatedkitchen He wants to do Army Special Forces. For now, his time is mostly at the gym.
Wednesday, 09-Jan-13 17:08:25 UTC from web-
@xeleanorxrigbyx that's got to be pretty exciting!
Wednesday, 09-Jan-13 17:18:47 UTC from StatusNet iPhone-
@renovatedkitchen Oh yes. Hoping it all pans out. There is a chance they could get shipped to BFE but Florida is looking good thus far.

Wednesday, 09-Jan-13 17:05:54 UTC from web-
@anarchycarcino no one will ever be as sassy as Ceruleans computer. I think it was like 8 of his hard drives are sassy
