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.
-
@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
-
@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?
-
@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 ...sounds like alot of work
-
@kamikaze 7 300GB 10K SAS drives, 6 in the RAID and one hot spare.
-
@ceruleanspark But, 7x300 is 2100
-
@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?
-
@nerthos Raid5. Redundancy for safety.
-
@kamikaze Oh, true.
-
@nerthos Because biometric auth is neat
-
@ceruleanspark Sass drives? I have some of those. They're what generate all my sass.
-
@thelastgherkin sassy computers are so annoying at times
-
@renovatedkitchen Did you get a new phone? I could have sworn you were on Android before...
-
@xeleanorxrigbyx yuppers. Had a galaxy note. It died, so I'm back on my iPhone
-
@renovatedkitchen Hooray! And nooooooo, devil Apple products...
-
@renovatedkitchen Hey kid. I'mma computer. Stop all the downloadin'.
-
@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.
-
@xeleanorxrigbyx and trying to keep track of all of us that go scuba diving
-
@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
-
@renovatedkitchen I do have one Apple product, I will admit it. Best device I ever had: iPod Classic. 160GB alllllll for me.
-
@thelastgherkin all those punk kids these days. Calling me slow?! I'll show them slow. Darn kids
-
@renovatedkitchen You're too slow!
-
@xeleanorxrigbyx we shall. And that's awesome!! Best of luck! You have all my wishes. Rico is okay with moving?
-
@xeleanorxrigbyx I have a 30gb iPod video that no matter what I do to it, refuses to die
-
@renovatedkitchen Gotta slow fast.
-
@anarchycarcino ohmygosh. That /kid/ just totally hit me. Like what is this. Boi you ain't gonna get nothing from me. *BSOD* poor Cerulean and his sassy computer.
-
@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. :)
-
@thelastgherkin it's so slow that its fast
-
@renovatedkitchen iPods do seem to be a hardy bunch. Can't vouch for an iPhone, but I like my scrollwheel.
-
@renovatedkitchen One day, I wish to be sassy.
-
@xeleanorxrigbyx well that is pretty awesome! Which part is Rico going into?
-
@xeleanorxrigbyx the scroll wheel is a great design
-
@anarchycarcino no one will ever be as sassy as Ceruleans computer. I think it was like 8 of his hard drives are sassy
-
@renovatedkitchen He wants to do Army Special Forces. For now, his time is mostly at the gym.
-
@renovatedkitchen I only have two!
-
@kamikaze It's a VMware host for a trio of windows infrastructure servers (Active directory, exchange and remote desktop services).
-
@xeleanorxrigbyx that's got to be pretty exciting!
-
@anarchycarcino are they sassy?
-
@renovatedkitchen i like your new avatar
-
@renovatedkitchen Not to my knowledge.
-
@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.
-
@fluttershy48 I kinda like it
-
@ceruleanspark Ah, I see now. I'm going to curl into a shivering ball of terror for a while.
-
@renovatedkitchen I LOVE IT
-
@kamikaze then ill call you rainbowdash then hold up a pic of rarity with wings
-
@kamikaze I've done this before, and the number of fatalities fell within acceptable parameters.
