Roommate's car is totaled
everyone OK?
Oh yeah, just a radiator problem that killed the engine. No accident.
Wasn't the car already in a state next to FUBAR? I think you said something like that

Update or pay-again?
Update. Owners of the full original game on Steam prior to the 26th found the new addition added to their libraries on Wednesday morning. No action or cost involved.
IF and only if you bought the game and ALL the DLC.
Otherwise, pay again.
Guess I'm lucky

I've no experience on this one but looks like an interesting AD on Linux problem:

Interesting. Seems to be a domain joined machine. Kerberos ticket problem maybe?

Banana Pro + Samsung EVO SSD + USB SD card reader + a few rubber bands = pretty cool armhf image prepping machine
For anyone else who's wondering wtf fruit is doing in an electronics project
Raspberry's, Banana's... will order some Orange's soon, too
And a HiKey for sure. I expect them to deliver a huge performance boost in every possible way.
Another interesting product is the 96boards EE HuskyBoard: 4x SATA, PCI-E and DDR3 SO-DIMM
SOC: AMD Opteron A1100 Series
damn that's no joke
AMD Opteron A1100 Series SoC specifications:
Up to eight ARM Cortex-A57 cores with 4MB shared Level 2 and 8MB of shared Level 3 cache
2x 64-bit DDR3/DDR4 channels supporting up to 1866 MHz with ECC
2x 10Gb Ethernet network connectivity
8-lane PCI-ExpressGen 3
14 SATA-3 ports
Jupp. Little monster.
The LeMaker Cello is a similar A1100 based board, available for 299 USD. Would be a perfect test / dev rig.

How close is that to being able to buy a micro-atx board chip and ram though...
Very close: http://www.tomsitpro.com/articles/amd-opteron-a1100-enterprise-production,1-3107.html

Yeah, but that's an Intel system. The whole point about the ARM architecture in servers is Flops per Watt. They aren't as fast as Intel systems, but they are much more efficient.

Pre-Spiceworld shenanigans?
Tinder and a bottle of that horrific tequila/vodka thing he linked is my bet
Oh... oh god. That's an unholy amalgam if I've ever seen one. If you need a sign the human race has lived too long that is probably it.
I think @RojoLoco posted a foto of such a bottle a few days ago. Really hoped that it was just photoshop'ed, but...

That's the third time this evening where I'm thinking something like "What the heck am I doing with Raspberry's right now?"
That's the AMD Radeon settings app.

@Dashrender said in What Are You Doing Right Now:
Mostly because of the added overhead of a hypervisor for every processor. If you look at modern server today, has two sockets and 8+ cores. So that's like having 16+ processors.
Sort of. There are a few things that you are missing here....
- Additional sockets create additional overhead that is different than cores.
- Even enterprise AMD64 servers today have a trend towards single sockets (Scale is a big leader in that direction)
- In the big iron RISC world, single socket Power and Sparc systems are extremely common.
- ARM RISC can be 64 cores (real cores) on a single CPU, more than on AMD64
- Hypervisor overhead is absolutely tiny and because these are servers, Xen and PV are the norm with nearly zero overhead
- Containers have even lower overhead than PV
Should we fork that whole topic? Contains quite a bit of information about ARM based servers and ARM vs Intel now. The discussion started with ~ https://mangolassi.it/topic/1022/what-are-you-doing-right-now/30339
@RojoLoco said in What did you have for lunch or dinner today?:
Hatch green Chile/beer beans w rice at Yellow Jacket Social Club. There are no words to describe how good these are...
I'm sure I've got some old rough woolen blanket somewhere and a place in the basement for you. You would need to earn you a living, sure, like cleaning the house and cooking, ... mostly cooking. Think about it

Well, that's another way to say: Hey, look, got a six-pack
Automatic partition table creation / manipulation of raw disk images using /dev/loop, sfdisk and parted. Sounds easy enough, but there are dozens of possible pitfalls:
I was dead sure that I still have a Chieftec DA-01 somewhere, but I can't find it.
So I'm looking for a new case now. Saw a post from @moka here at ML mentioning Fractal Design, they look pretty great. I don't need anything that looks like a Predator or Transformer. But I also really hate cases where you may loose two or three fingers just from looking at them.
Any thoughts about the Fractal Design Define S?

200c and 750d also quite nice for the money
The Corsair looks interesting, but I don't want to spend more than EUR 70-80 maybe.
There won't be much inside: PSU, GPU (Radion Rx 480, ~25cm long), be quiet Pure Rock CPU cooler (Height: 155mm). Storage will be a M2 SSD, maybe 2 or 3 additional spindles, ATX mainboard.
This is what I was looking for. Clean, simple, small.
Nearly perfect. But no slots for 120/140mm fans...
@MattSpeller said in What Are You Doing Right Now:
@thwr 80mm are ok but you need to spend big $$$ to get decent ones.
Papst 8412 NGLE - something like this probably

Those are not a common brand here - they look like good quality. Similar to Noctua?
"The ebm-papst Group is the world's leading[3] manufacturer of electric motors and fans. It came into existence in 2003 when the companies Elektrobau Mulfingen GmbH & Co.

The company employs around 12,500 employees at 18 production facilities (including those in Germany, China, and the USA) and 57 sales offices worldwide. The headquarters is located in Mulfingen in the Hohenlohe district of Germany."
