00:00 whaack asciilifeform: Lol good thing indeed, yes I choose the cheapest option under the '860' series
00:00 asciilifeform you want 'evo' or (if you're launching into orbit, as i did in 1 box in uy) the costlier (and ~10-20% longer-lived) 'pro' .
00:01 asciilifeform whaack: i oughta have said specifically. apol. to whaack et al & diana_coman for the added log kilometrage from this.
00:02 asciilifeform whaack: imho 'pro' cannot be justified in a box that you can easily physically get to & swap disk in.
00:03 whaack asciilifeform: Yes. I was just typing that it seems wisest to get evo and just make sure I back it up (as I plan / am assigned to do anyways)
00:05 asciilifeform whaack: back up to a traditional mechanical hd.
00:13 whaack asciilifeform: Will do and I'll post the hard drive I pick for the purpose. Right now I am using an external Seagate Backup Plus Slim - I picked it off the shelf as I was stuffing bag for CR.
00:20 whaack thimbronion: msg securely received. That said I plan to put your addy through the heathen pipes on samsung's website on an order tied to my card. If there's another way you would like me to order the ssd to you, please let me know. For example I can reimburse you with cash here if you'd prefer to order it yourself.

01:47 thimbronion whaack: it's fine to use my info

03:07 jfw http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/ossasepia/2019-11-18#1010606 << he made a valiant effort but didn't quite manage the 30. Beverage was delivered too.
03:07 ossabot Logged on 2019-11-18 14:26:39 dorion: looking forward to delivering the 30 punches and a pinch to grow an inch.
03:07 ossabot Logged on 2019-11-19 17:57:26 diana_coman: you clearly owe him a cerveza for that at least, lol.

04:18 jfw diana_coman, your blog front page renders but articles all seem to be 404, e.g. http://ossasepia.com/2019/11/14/amito-data-centre-in-reading-uk/
04:19 jfw mod_rewrite config I'd guess.

05:53 whaack diana_coman: EOD report - Writing the backup scripts took a bit of time because I had to pay a lot of unix debt along the way. I have the basic design you laid out here with steps a,b,c. done. I still have some questions about how the file's permissions + group + owner are copied over that I will investigate later. I need to make projections as t
05:53 whaack o how long before my hard drive fills up, and also exactly what it is on my local computer I want to save. Lastly, I need to do a dry run of recovering my blog to make sure everything is in order.
~ 17 minutes ~
06:11 whaack diana_coman: As for the '2h of planning for the hardware store / listing comp parts' i didn't get to do that w/ a specific block of time. But I did make progress on that front earlier in the day w/ speaking to the carpenter + the figuring out the ssd for my comp. Continuing work on this is my first priority for tomorrow morning before I head to town.

07:33 diana_coman http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/ossasepia/2019-11-21#1010996 - should be fixed now, thanks!

07:35 diana_coman http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/ossasepia/2019-11-21#1010999 - good idea

07:35 diana_coman hello Jeff78
07:37 diana_coman ask in here Jeff78
07:37 Jeff78 Sure
07:37 Jeff78 Can you tell me about to goal of ossasepia. and the platform on ossasepia.com?
07:39 diana_coman Jeff78: this chan is basically the forum/discussion place/direct interaction for my YH (http://younghands.club/) project
07:40 diana_coman you can read the story on YH starting with http://ossasepia.com/2019/07/03/growing-young-hands/ (do note that you might need the IP directly for my blog 85.25.134.66 )
07:40 diana_coman Jeff78: as to platform, what do you mean? ossasepia.com simply runs a customised version of wordpress really
07:40 diana_coman (as does younghands.club for that matter)
07:41 diana_coman Jeff78: how did you find this place?
07:41 Jeff78 I've indeed read the part on younghandsclub. It difficult for me to understand though.
07:42 diana_coman Jeff78: there is a lot to it; but just ask further then; what are you stuck on?
07:43 Jeff78 I will start of with reading the article here
07:43 Jeff78 http://ossasepia.com/2019/07/03/growing-young-hands/
07:44 Jeff78 The reason I'm interested in your project is because I saw the domain eventix.de is directed to your project. I've started my own business recently after I graduated. To take it of the ground in germany I would be in need of the domain that is now pointing to your website. Would you be open to an offer from my side?
07:44 Jeff78 If you actually using it thats fine too. I'll have to find another name haha ;)
07:45 diana_coman Jeff78: you might want to have a look at what others figured out too and/or the road they took to here, eg on their blogs
07:45 diana_coman eventix.de ? no idea
07:45 diana_coman lolz; what is this project about?
07:46 Jeff78 Hahaha, did you see the redirect?
07:46 diana_coman Jeff78: I just switched IPs recently so it's possibly an old record somewhere
07:46 diana_coman Jeff78: I tend to ignore DNS and simply set the IPs in hosts file so not exactly bothered with all that
07:46 Jeff78 Hmm that could be it. I was amazed because it didn't ooint anywhere a few weeks ago
07:47 Jeff78 If people know where to find you IPs are fine haha :)
07:47 diana_coman Jeff78: so what's the project you are working on ?
07:47 diana_coman well yes, the people around here know and do; they are quite...knowing, like that. It's a bit the whole point around here, you know
07:48 Jeff78 We're developing a ticket solution for cultural organisations to be able to sell their tickets without having to deal with high fees from companies such as ticketmaster.
07:49 Jeff78 So I've had an interest in tracking the domain owner, but the whois records are set to anonymous
07:49 Jeff78 So you're my only lead lol
07:49 diana_coman Jeff78: heh, the technical solution exists already really; there's a bot around those parts that does invoicing and payments and all that
07:49 Jeff78 I know we're not the only one, but we aim to be the only free one :p
07:50 diana_coman to not have to pay high fees to ticketmaster and other similar slave-masters (because that's what they are), it's the people in those organisations you need to develop, not technical solutions
07:50 diana_coman they are in that poor situation because they don't know better, not because they don't have more tools really
07:51 Jeff78 Oh definetely the technical solution is never the only part. You need to educate people.
07:52 diana_coman Jeff78: the bot here is free, you know? but yes, it's free *not for anyone* and if you don't mind me saying it, the "free for everyone" approach is an extremely poor choice.
07:52 Jeff78 Do you have any idea of what was hosted on the ip before? Maybe that will give me a lead to the owner of the domain.
07:52 diana_coman Jeff78: trouble is: what do you plan to educate them about/on?
07:52 diana_coman Jeff78: I have no idea but apparently that eventix thing was hosted there before,no?
07:53 Jeff78 uhm, probably just pointed here.
07:53 Jeff78 There was never really a website
07:53 Jeff78 Its just some domain squatter.
07:53 diana_coman well, I don't mind it,lolz.
07:54 Jeff78 But the ip probably hosted more websites by the same owner
07:54 Jeff78 Thanks for your help anyway
07:54 Jeff78 And for your interest in what im working on.
07:54 diana_coman no problem; maybe find some time and read around a bit, you might find more than you came asking for :D
07:55 diana_coman that's what I do around here: taking an interest in who people are and what they are working on; it reportedly... helps them.

14:52 * dorion_road waves from vermont.
15:00 diana_coman that's a long wave! good to see you made it though.
15:05 dorion_road diana_coman thanks. fog cancelled the afternoon flight from boston, ended up renting a driver to make the ~4 hour drive instead. got in later, but had had a nice conversation on the drive with a fellow traveler and made a connection so it worked out.
15:06 * dorion_road to get caught up on log/blog reading.
15:07 dorion_road also, there's snow on the ground here, so that was nice to arrive to :)
15:08 diana_coman enjoy!
~ 58 minutes ~
16:07 whaack diana_coman: good morning. Is there a specific type of thermal paste I should buy? Is the arctic mx4 an acceptable option? I am planning to get 2 4gram tubes of these.
~ 21 minutes ~
16:28 BingoBoingo whaack: That's probably a fine choice. Artic silver also probably a fine choice, but it is electrically conductive so gotta be very careful where it goes. When I do laptop heatsinks I usually use one of the artic ceramic pastes.
16:33 whaack BingoBoingo: Cool, I will use the mx-4 then and be very careful where it goes regardless.
16:33 BingoBoingo More tubes of smaller size is better. You'll be using very little of it infrequently, so the next time you want to apply thermal grease it may be better to open the second tube instead of using the first again. I base this around the assumption thermal grease is a sort of glue and "bottle open time" is the enemy of shelf life.
16:33 diana_coman whaack: it's fine,yes; but buy small tubes, you won't need a ton for one single computer.
16:34 diana_coman ah, BingoBoingo already said it, huh; thank you BingoBoingo !
16:34 BingoBoingo The most important thing is following the instructions. They vary by thermal grease.
16:34 BingoBoingo diana_coman: You're welcome.
16:39 whaack alright, I will get 4x 2g tubes.
16:40 whaack (the smallest size I see available on amazon)
~ 2 hours 16 minutes ~
18:57 * jfw waves but will be pretty well tied up today.
18:58 diana_coman no worries.
19:01 jfw I look forward to your feedback on today's article and any direction for tomorrow's; a similar treatment of the WoT series would be my assumption.
~ 3 hours 42 minutes ~
22:43 diana_coman jfw: for tomorrow pick better something from your original plan http://fixpoint.welshcomputing.com/2019/planned-articles-as-of-october-2019/?b=something&e=#select
22:45 diana_coman and do write it in the morning please.
