| Xenguy | josuah: Good man, you have the right idea, just keep it on the down-low | 03:39 |
| Xenguy | Have a rationale/alibi ready of course, just in case | 03:40 |
| Xenguy | Remember, embrace and extend 8 -D | 03:41 |
| telmich | good morning | 11:16 |
| telmich | We have just got a nice suprise: a friend of ungleich just sponsored a PPC G5 mac for Devuan builds | 11:16 |
| telmich | Our staff as I am writing on the way to pick it up and to bring it into the data center light so it will be available for building ppc packages next week | 11:17 |
| Centurion_Dan | telmich: wow that's good news - is that for ppc 32bit? | 11:17 |
| gnarface | G5 is 64-bit | 11:19 |
| gnarface | G4 and earlier were the 32-bit ones | 11:19 |
| Wonka | telmich: cool | 11:20 |
| Centurion_Dan | gnarface: Do you know if it's Big or Little Endian? | 11:21 |
| Centurion_Dan | if it's little then ppc64el may work already. | 11:22 |
| gnarface | i don't know, but i know they draw more power than a refrigerator | 11:22 |
| gnarface | my nickname for the G5 is "the circuit breaker" | 11:22 |
| gnarface | (seriously, don't put one on the same circuit as your refrigerator, coffee machine, or microwave. you will regret it) | 11:23 |
| Centurion_Dan | hmmm a 15 yr old machine... is it worth it. I'm in the process of getting some more TalosII remote hosts to run as buildhosts. | 11:26 |
| Centurion_Dan | and test hosts. | 11:27 |
| jordila | dear #devuan ers , how do you install devuan on a VPS ? ... is there any Hosting provider «devuan-friendly » so to speak ? | 11:32 |
| gnarface | jordila: i doubt they could stop you from upgrading a debian install to devuan even if they wanted to | 11:33 |
| gnarface | i'd frankly be surprised if they noticed | 11:33 |
| telmich | Centurion_Dan: 64 bit is correct, yes | 11:34 |
| telmich | jordila: we are running https://devuanhosting.com/ | 11:35 |
| Centurion_Dan | telmich: you might want to try booting: http://pkgmaster.devuan.org/devuan/dists/unstable/main/installer-ppc64el/current/images/netboot/mini.iso - if that boots, we don't need it as a buildhost, but it would be good to know how Devuan runs on that h/w | 11:36 |
| telmich | Centurion_Dan: ack, will do. I have to find out whether we can put this on a usb stick (unlikely) or whether we actually need to find a real CD for it :-) | 11:40 |
| Centurion_Dan | telmich: circa 2003, I'd be betting on CD. I had my hands on a G5 Xserve at one stage and that required cd booting - and that was a heavy and noisy beast. | 11:42 |
| Centurion_Dan | actually, that was probably a G4 xserve based on a quick lookup... | 11:47 |
| Centurion_Dan | USB boot wasn't really a thing until ~2008 | 11:48 |
| Centurion_Dan | iirc | 11:48 |
| Centurion_Dan | anyway... bedtime o/ | 11:51 |
| telmich | Centurion_Dan: thanks for the input - will keep you updated, when we have it | 11:54 |
| specing | telmich: aren't you buying talos boards? | 13:25 |
| gnarface | i don't mean to discredit the gift of a G5 though, i'm sure it is a good idea to have one around either way | 13:26 |
| stefan_zalewski | hi anyone here residing in ireland? | 13:40 |
| specing | > gnarface | my nickname for the G5 is "the circuit breaker" | 13:44 |
| specing | 110V mains? | 13:44 |
| specing | I guess we are lucky here in Europe to have went with 220VAC | 13:45 |
| gnarface | heh | 13:47 |
| gnarface | it could help, i don't know | 13:49 |
| EdLin | hello. Could you let me know what version of QEMU and the kernel are in the stable, testing, and sid? | 13:51 |
| gnarface | EdLin: the package search is here https://pkginfo.devuan.org/ | 13:52 |
| EdLin | thanks | 13:53 |
| gnarface | no problem | 13:53 |
| specing | gnarface: only half the current is required at twice the voltage to sustain desired power levels | 14:16 |
| specing | I heard 110VAC systems have trouble now with induction cookers and EV charging | 14:16 |
| buZz | heh yep | 14:18 |
| specing | I think everyone should just switch to >500 VDC | 14:22 |
| buZz | :D | 14:32 |
| jordila | I'm wondering .... may i migrate my Debian Stretch based VPS to Devuan Ascii à la https://devuan.org/os/documentation/dev1fanboy/migrate-to-ascii without hiccups ? | 14:37 |
| * jordila apt-get install sysvinit-core , traying to ... ^^ | 14:43 | |
| Eaglet4 | Привет, друзья! | 19:43 |
