Re: [Wlug] Talk for April...

by Tim Keller

I believe the previous talk was about btrfs and compared it to zfs. I would consider this talk a stand alone talk that would focus on the features of zfs. Though my head's really full of noise. It's quite possible I did a talk about zfs and don't even remember! Later, Tim. On 3/27/12, James Gray <jamespgray(a)gmail.com> wrote: > I'd like to hear more about ZFS.

Re: !!!! Reminder!!! Wlug Meeting Oct 13th @7PM: Topic: Fotoxx, Speaker: Dick Miller, Location: WPI Mid Century Room.

by Lexi Haley

Thank you Dick for the talk tonight ( so much as I was able to stay for ) - your enthusiasm for linux advocacy and outreach was recognizable; and I enjoyed romping around your website - I wonder if your Canopus star-tracker work in the 60s had any outputs still in use on the Voyagers (some 14.6 billion miles away now...)! Sorry I had to leave early, but I arrived home interested to check it out. I use TinyCore linux on my daily driver laptop (Dell Latitude (c) 2012), which didn't have fotoxx in its package manager - so I built it from the source packages on https://kornelix.net/fotoxx/fotoxx.html. Incidentally, there is a LONG OVERVIEW section on that page which combined with your talk offered me more description of the features. Once I built it I began checking it out. It absolutely suggests a talented and devoted developer; it is quirky and polished in my novitiate eyes. First off - from the building side - I observe it is a collection of executables - Michael Cornelison the author certainly has been hard at work - cloc says: github.com/AlDanial/cloc v 1.95 T=1.51 s (33.2 files/s, 118058.5 lines/s) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Language files blank comment code ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C++ 31 38465 16842 118237 C/C++ Header 4 540 230 2798 make 11 111 60 634 Text 1 11 0 47 CSS 3 35 33 19 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUM: 50 39162 17165 121735 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It wasn't difficult to build - I made it into a TinyCore Linux package and then loaded it up. Initially it attempted to tackle my entire drive, but crashed (a corrupt PNG took it down during the indexing); I then aimed it at a media specific folder, and I was surprised to see it creating thumbnails for mp4 movies - ultimately these files are just easily launched into VLC by a keystroke. Things I like - I like the Map view - I like seeing the thumb-tack indication of where my photos' geotags point. I like the Gallery's balance between fast thumbnails and some brief metadata - and I like that folders are shown with a count of inner images and folders -a nice sort of bread crumbs. I also like the prepackaged set of effects and filters - For instance Voodoo 1 applied to one of my photos created a nice effect. I'm sure these features bring powerful image editing techniques into more hands more easily than something with a steeper learning curve (say GIMP). I'm not sure it is about to become my go-to software though. I have been a long time GIMP user and so appreciate the skill I already possess therein. However, it does remind me that I desire a better gallery experience - formerly I used to use F-Spot Photo Manager, but that seems to be in-between working builds for some time ... So, I am not sure what my next step will be, but I again thank you for tonight's romp through Fotoxx!

Zork was also slashdotted yesterday (the article about the "begin " and other anti-LookOut tricks Nick Moffitt [a.k.a. Crackmonkey] [the guy who owns zork.net/crackmonkey.org] uses in his emails). Afaik, he had previously had apache set up so that zork was the default virtualhost. I can't say why he may have changed it. The reason (as i understand) that archives are stored on zork instead of on the lnx-bbc site, is that Nick is developing GAR (a linux clone of ports, done with Makefiles) for lnx-bbc. If you need help with this specific version of lnx-bbc, you might find some willing volunteers on #tron, irc.slashnet.org. just be sure not to use a proprietary IRC client or OS... -- Aaron Haviland orion [at] tribble [dot] dyndns [dot] org orion [at] zork [dot] net Canadians are from Canadia.

Setag Lib, Microsoft linux is very very good. I use it all the time, though I find I keep getting "SEG_HATESELF" errors all the time. I'd be very interested in helping you get those diamonds out of your country! I am part of the non profit group "Wereever Others are Oppressed, Keep Intacted Entegrity" a.k.a. "WOOKIE".

Thank you for fast reply. I actually already got Microsoft Linux installed! It was very easy I am still having some questions though. I can't get on the internet, what is wrong?

If you are interested in helping my family get a chest of diamonds out of the country, I would be willing to make it worth your while. Thank you again! Setag P.S. This seemed a lot funnier shortly after the last wlug meeting. I guess it lost a bit when it got held up by the non-subscribed email thing.

RE: [Wlug] Searching for motherboards (was trading PIII)

by Clint Moyer

I have an Abit BX6r2 that I no longer use. I was running a Celeron 566 (nominally 66Mhz FSB) at a 100Mhz. A P3 850 uses the same multiplier, so it will run on this board. It's also a great overclocking board. You won't get that with an Intel. I can bring it to the next meeting and you can test drive it first. If you're interested, I'll let it go cheap.

By way of repeating my situation, and giving a bit more detail, I have a SECC2 (a.k.a. slot 1) PIII 850 processor that won't run on my motherboard (an Intel SE440BX-2 Slot 1 type) because of motherboard rev issues. I am offering a swap for a SECC2 PIII running at 550 or 600. I am also now looking to see if anyone knows of a local source for a motherboard capable of running a Slot 1 PIIIs at 850. This is older technology (Intel no longer make Slot 1), so I need to see what I can find that is already in the distribution channel. I really like Intel boards, so Intel would be my first choice.

Re: (old?) Dell power-edge rackserver power supplies

Are any of them of the Flex ATX form factor? They might be usable for a (noisy ?) mini-itx build. A quick google on power edge server power supplies show something that looks like it might be flex ATX form factor and an other power supply looks like a long square(ish) thingy.
