cloudy yet sunny too.

How's Crunchbang running on your hardware?

I don't know. My blinds are closed. But the coffee is hot. So I got that going for me. Which is nice.

wat were the specs of the custom built dot|not?

Aaron_ON · 2014-03-30 17:01:03

Sunny and a toasty 2C so I can't complain.

English homework is the worst... I can't write essays the same way I do scripts and programs 8.(

Exactly the opposite here.

I still wait for SSDs to reach the same $$$ / GB - value as hard disks. Having 16TB of SSD space instead of having 16TB HDD space.. dat speed.

In Northeast Ohio, US of A, it's sunny, 35 degrees F (just above 0C) with a few inches of snow on the ground from a storm that blew through yesterday. #! is running just fine, & I agree about the english. I've got to make & answer a crapload of open ended questions about a book where the only thing that happens (in the section I have to make questions about) is a girl gets raped & kills a cat. Furthermore, yay me, this is my 400th post

For Programs and all, don't think we'd see a difference with text files

and actually speaking of SSDs, just threw an mSata 16GB on my desktop a couple days ago... mSata underneath the motherboard is a good idea!
at least until you have to remove the motherboard lol.

@dot|not & CSCoder4ever;
Quick question: Why the hell does anybody need 16TB of space at all? My #! setup runs just fine on a 60GB partition, & before that, when I was running Windows XP with a 200GB Hard Disk, I'd never even filled it up half way. What kind of computing practices does someone have that mandate 16TB? I doubt even a server needs that much space (by that, I mean a home server setup, for a regular-type website, not Google or Wikipedia)

You'd be surprised! Bluray rips mostly though.

also 60GB partition? not bad! ... though 90GB+ is what I would need on the go.

I gave up on university and programming classes to pursue a career in a more practical field a long time ago. Still, writing small scripts takes me hours compared to other people.

It is a homeserver. I serve files for family members that love photography, offer backup space for university stuff of some friends and host my own .flac-collection and other stuff. Around 10TB are already used.

/dev/mapper/main-root 14G 4,9G 8,4G 37% /

I say 16GB is sufficient.

I've never thought of myself as particularly tidy, I keep all my files even from my last OS, & seem to just never wind up filling my hard drive.

@dot|not: Ok, I stand corrected. Can you tell me about how much stuff (by category of file type) is taking up that 10TB? I'm curious how that much space is actually used

Installed #! on my sister's netbook, she seems okay with it!

Nah Pony collection doesn't even take 55GB of space lol 8o

intoCB · 2014-03-30 19:58:47

Probably "mares" then, given the history of the defendent.

I think we may have forgotten @GutsAndGlory here...
It was cloudy but warm today in London --- how's the weather where you are GutsAndGlory?

GutsAndGlory · 2014-03-30 20:06:14

Here, uh.. It's cloudy and rainy- not a storm, but not a light rain- just the sufficient to make it nice. :3

I'd like to buy a vowel: a

_(a) _ _ z

And even if that was true ... that's still way to much.

But think
- video creating, editing.
- same for music ...
- AutoCad files for the 862 buildings you've designed.

and a root and home partition for every Linux Distro out there!

@ dot|not - that's awesome - soooooooooo do #! users get a slice? ]:D ]:D ]:D
OK OK I'm outta here ....

Still cloudy, 21°, still with coffee.

@Sector11, sounds like that episode of OSFirstTimer here they tried TinyCore Linux, & Diana proposed the opposite of a minimal distro, a distro that had 20 of everything, & you just delete what you don't want; so 20 web browsers, 20 media players, 20 file managers, 20 package managers, 20 text editors, 20 sets of man pages (for everything) & so on. Even with that, the estimated .iso was only a whopping 2TB (your live disk is a live hard disk ) which brings back the question, what & how much of it is filling 10TB on that server?

@CSCoder4ever & IntoCB: yeah, I can see pvsage having an entire 55GB partition dedicated to his favorite multicolored quadrupedal mammals

Raises hand. I work with uncompressed video. Even standard definition takes up an enormous amount of space (especially if you want to keep more than one version to compare edits). I could always use more space.

Edit- one my older setups had 6-10 drives at any given time, multiple controller cards and disk spanning. That was fun (especially when something went wrong). And so loud!
