debian, booting md, and you2009.01.12
unlike centos, when you configure MD RAID 1 for booting on debian etch, it doesn’t install GRUB on all the drives in the set. you can do this manually and it seems you’d have to do this every time you update the kernel. (i found this out the hard way)
if yours is RAID 1 like mine, you should only have to do this once. it’s a higher level RAID, you’ll have to perform this on every drive maybe they’ll fix this in lenny 🙂 (mostly for reference) gamers for giving 2!2009.01.02
this is the second one i’ve been a part of and help run. here is a bit about the event:
mpcon is dead. long live mpcon! music streamin for you and me2008.12.11
at the request of greg and nothing better to listen to while working, i put a shoutcast stream back up. it’s electronica. mostly downtempo but some trance, house, and clickhop. the stream title is beatheads for a better america: rewirethepulse people with winamp, vlc, itunes, foobar, xmms, click here. 2000 songs in the list. i need to go through my collection to add more. i need to listen more to trim some out. dave aided the collection of odd and independent music maybe there’s something you want to hear? check out the request page. ps2 device to usb port adapters2008.12.06
many new motherboards don’t come with ps2 ports anymore. if your favorite keyboard only has ps2 ports, you’ll need a usb adapter. with a usb keyboard or a ps2 keyboard plugged into a ps2 port, your keys behave as you think they would in 3d games. with most ps2 to usb adapters, multiple key presses do not work properly. example: you’re running forward, holding down the forward key and you want to strafe right. while holding forward, you press your right key and let it go. however, you stop moving.
my understanding about the issue is that the usb to ps2 adapters don’t emulate and translate the ps2 key presses properly. the ziotek jobbie does. however, it’s usually out of stock and recently back in stock. you should consider picking it up if it’s an issue for you Fail event on /dev/md2:schitzo2008.12.01
looks like a failing drive was the cause for my problems this weekend. yay warranties.
advance rma policies are nice. 5 year warranties are nicer. l4d2008.11.27
left 4 dead is awesome fun. i wonder how well it will work at a lan party, how tournaments will work with it, etc. with mpcon 24/g4g2 is a couple months away, these details should be sorted out by then. maybe some co-op mode for fastest finish. most zombies killed. pistols only, etc. nvidia physics on a cheapie card?2008.11.24
nvidia claims you can use your “older” 8, 9, or 200-series video card for physics processing. it doesn’t have to match your main video card. only requirement is that it have 256mb of ram. what if you don’t have a sli-enabled motherboard? what if you want to do this with, let’s say, a pci or a pci-e 1x card 8400gs w/ 256mb ram? anyone know if this works? for learnin and vpnin2008.11.24
with some help, i picked up a pix 506e for cheap. following this article, i put a p3 800mhz cpu in that i had laying around. first boot shows it at 600mhz. neat.
threw a 256mb stick of pc-133 ram in. single density double sided. it wouldn’t boot with double-density single sided. hopefully i can get pixos upto v7. hopefully we can set up a site-to-site vpn with work. hopefully i can work out a usable understanding of the system and command sets. |
