mhoran: Hi.
nesta: howdy doody
awyeah_: just a little portupgrade -a action
***: awyeah_ is now known as awyeah
cedwards: portmaster -ad here. bash updates.
BeBoo_: nesta >3
<br> <3 evemn
<br> omg
awyeah: ooh portmaster.
<br> why do there need to be so many damn port management tools.
<br> I do like the pkg_cutleaves tool.

RandalSchwartz: I wonder what happens if I demand too many shm values during boot
<br> some settings are only valid in /boot/loader.conf
<br> so I have to reboot to set them
<br> (trying to tune for postgresql)
<br> this *is* a big instance, so maybe it's not too critical

ballen: how goes it
***: fink_ has quit IRC (Quit: fink_)
jdoe: yo.
ballen: hi
jdoe: what's up?
ballen: not much being bored
<br> need to write a "mission statement"
<br> to propose a serverfault.com like website for Life Science sysadms
jdoe: life science sysadms have niche needs?
ballen: indeed
<br> mainly support the crazy bio apps
<br> also some HPC, and big mem problems
<br> supporting instruments as well
jdoe: oh I wasn't really thinking bio as a life science, for whatever reason I was thinking like... psych and shit.
<br> yeah, that makes sense.
ballen: ah yea
<br> on a fun side note, check out the SGI Altix UV100: http://www.sgi.com/products/servers/altix/uv/
jdoe: the life sciences dudes had a... haha
<br> yeah I was just going to say, a nice altix.
<br> shame they didn't have any actual MIPS gear :(
<br> if it's not IRIX, it's not a real SGI :(
ballen: lol
<br> I need X86 stuff these days
<br> no one devs for those platforms
jdoe: everyone does, but that's hardly the point
<br> er
<br> I mean everyone needs x86
ballen: yea
jdoe: dunno what I'd build now.
ballen: bad enough I have new sparc gear
jdoe: if I had an HPC-level budget, jesus what I could buy...
ballen: that UV100 is 1.6M list btw
<br> as long as your problems fit inside 512G or 1T of ram its still cheaper to use Dell R910s
<br> and more dense
jdoe: half a million bought ~240 cores with gigE interconnects a couple years ago.
ballen: lets see
jdoe: (with edu pricing)
ballen: buying 5x R910
<br> 32 core each, 512G
<br> for under 200k
<br> so 160 core, 2.5T
jdoe: different target though... this was for a math group, so the problem could be broken up pretty effectively, but was discrete enough that the interconnect didn't matter too much
<br> I think we had a gig per core, so 240G
ballen: yea I would love to have parallelizable problems
jdoe: I'd love to have HPC problems again, I miss playing with clusters :/
ballen: yea quite fun
jdoe: yeah it really was.
ballen: Altix looks fun as well
jdoe: especially when I didn't have to worry about power or anything, so I could spin it up on trivial shit in the downtime
ballen: heh
<br> yea
jdoe: now it's all "HERE ARE A COUPLE WHITEBOXES, INSTALL JAVA. THANKS."
ballen: heh
<br> thats no fun
pierut: o_O

ballen: Has anyone seen an open source stackoverflow.com, with a linkable wiki?
<br> current best option I've seen is http://shapado.com/
jdoe: I could have sworn I saw one...
