grody: for and old skewl x786 class CPU - and some kind of DoM flash - slow ass DDR - 30 seconds is kinda impressive
all my laptops/desktops take anything upto a minute to boot linux
my BSD box takes about 11 seconds
think my smart TV is the fastest booter i have - dead power to watching a DVB channel < 10 seconds
that appears to be running BSD at it's heart too

m0unds: mercutio: lpddr4 is available with a couple skus of chipsets in mobile devices
looks like it hits ~25-30GB/sec
according to anandtech anyway
grody: wow
i seriously dont need that much power
barely load what i already have
used to be a point i had a massive amount of computation power - spent 8 1/2 year cracking a password to cryto that i forgot that was critical to something
had 16U of rackspace at one point, harbouring kit of £4000 - octacore w/ nVidia Kelpa
a few of them
(it was THAT important) :)
BryceBot: That's what she said!!
grody: s/Kelpa/Kepla/
BryceBot: <grody> had 16U of rackspace at one point, harbouring kit of £4000 - octacore w/ nVidia Kepla
grody: regret having to sell most of that - but just couldn't afford the hosting and no way am i running that much juice @home
kellytk: grody: Were there times several years in where you thought about giving up?

mercutio: m0unds: should be lower power too
m0unds: yep
grody: kellytk, very much the opposite.. i maxed out every form of credit i had to open that locker
i almost digressed to hiring someone controlling a botnet.. but drew the line there
kellytk: grody: You should write a script and sell the movie rights
grody: hah
kellytk: That comment is only ~3% humor. I'd pay to watch that film. I can see it now, you don't disclose the data through the eight years, you highlight your life in ways that relate to the data, and you end the arc with the decryption and revealing of the data
grody: well, i wouldn't want to be a buzz kill but the end result wasn't exactly how'd i have hoped
kellytk: That would probably be the best kind of ending
Other than the slapstick approach of it being a single lolcat.gif that made you smile
grody: hahaha
im useless at stories - i'd need to find a writer
i ran a script a friend made for me, suppose to trawl through blog sites and create a story of sort using markov-chainer and quasi ai
the "story" it made from my old blog scared me so much so, i erased it and started from scratch
it was like reading the story of a blind man in a deaf world trying to go about telling people how he saw a UFO
need to find that script now
kellytk: Does anyone happen to have a suggestion for a better solution than collect with its ping plugin for regularly pinging hosts and reporting the resulting data?
I'm happy with collectd (despite its inability to reload its config while online) yet it's worth asking
brycec: There are *so* many others :P
I recommend monit
kellytk: monit looks interesting, thank you brycec
brycec: Also mmonit is nice, worth considering. (and it has a free 30 day license, just a simple, free download)
