plett: pyvpx: I regularly do installs of Linux and FreeBSD using IPMI redirected serial-over-lan. If NetBSD still has a text-mode installer and presents a login: prompt on a serial port, then you don't need the whole GUI console redirection

m0unds: i think it can provide that, but it tends to provide the curses-style ui for installs

m0unds: just figured w/serial consoles it might not like curses :)
staticsafe: frontier got the memo re: canadian flag camo/liveries and they provided a canadian flag paint scheme for spacecraft in elite: dangerous
brycec: curses was literally designed with serial terminals in mind ;D

-: m0unds shrugs
brycec has done too much curses
m0unds: the only serial stuff i work with is networking gear
and only console access, and only til i enable ssh

mnathani: is there such a thing as a completely silent serveR?
if not completely silent, then perhaps relatively silent? Kind of like a desktop with silent Power Supply and CPU fans
m0unds: you can do passively cooled stuff depending on formfactor
doesn't work well in rackmounted enclosures
mnathani: this would probably be a tower server
m0unds: if you could get a large enough enclosure with a design that allows 120 or 140mm fans (or bigger) then you could possibly get away w/rackmounted stuff
staticsafe: watercooling :P
m0unds: ^
mnathani: 2x quad core CPUs
m0unds: if you can duct cold intake air over CPU and other components, you might be able to manage
or if it supports 120/140mm fans
staticsafe: watercooling + decent case fans + knoweledge of airflow within the case

laughed so hard
m0unds: ahahahah
that's my default answer to most questions
brycec: I'm a problem-solver, and i would have offered the solution, in calories, and then told them to fuck themselves if they didn't understand
Then again, I'm not 100% American.
m0unds: i'm just an asshole
brycec: s/an.*/American
BryceBot: <m0unds> i'm just American
-: m0unds says something something turd packets, something something about lying about americans
brycec: Oh man, Patreon is really changing webcomics... For one, you can see who the really popular artists are. http://www.patreon.com/jephjacques
$9,371.53
per month
Plus it makes it very easy for schmucks like me to be less of a schmuck and give back
m0unds: hahahaha
brycec: I go through and find all my favourites and ask myself "How much is their webcomic worth to me each month?"
It's like a newspaper subscription where you're only paying for the comics you care about
m0unds: yeah
up_the_irons: wow patreon *is* pretty cool (never saw it before)
brycec: really? it's been _everywhere_ for a little while now...
up_the_irons: u see, i live under a rock...
brycec: s/rock/pile of servers that make up ARP
BryceBot: <up_the_irons> u see, i live under a pile of servers that make up ARP...
brycec: (same difference)
