< dustybin> ananke: i never read man pages, i find that cheating
< deco> o_o
< ananke> dustybin: that makes no sense
< adrien> tar + xz + gpg then xD
< adrien> lol
< ananke> but whatever. suit yourself
< dustybin> i dont have gpg setup, i imagine that will be a serious pain
* thrice` hopes it was sarcasm, but fears it wasn't
< dustybin> :D

< Ovron> I only have bagged lipton tea, as I am not a large tea consumer. Coffee on the other side... I even have an espresso maker in my office since the one in the lounge is crap.
<@pparadis> Ovron: would you say that you're interested in tag bags?
< Ovron> pparadis: I am not sure I want to answer that question, please clarify :p
<@pparadis> well, sir, i have a special technique involving a tea bag that you might be keenly interested in.
<@pparadis> it is a family recipe.
< Ovron> Let us hear about it.
<@pparadis> it's all organic, i assure you.
< Ovron> I am a bit worried what this entails now
<@pparadis> it would be better if i demonstrated the technique in person, so that you may fully appreciate it. i shall reserve a room at a nice hotel in AC for this very purpose.
< Ovron> I do not like the sound of this :(
<@pparadis> it will be quite educational, i assure you! no need to fear the unkown, as i am a nice guy.
< Ovron> pparadis: I think you should perform this demonstration on jed or any other close-by person, record it, and youtube it.
<@pparadis> but dear sir, i have modified my instructions in accordance with adjustments i deemed necessary from my viewing of footage from that crack in the ceiling above your shower. i have already tailored the lesson to your specific needs!
<@Perihelion> SPARTAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
* Ovron feels stalked
<@pparadis> no no no you're a star!
<@Perihelion> .
<@Perihelion> YOU
<@Perihelion> ARE MY
<@Perihelion> SHININ STAR
< Ovron> yay

James____ : hi anyone familiar with g4l?, I backup my laptop with the lzop compression but the iamge is 50 gig... even my laptop is just a clean slack13.1 install
adrien : g4l? and lzop isn't meant for hihgh compression
James____ : ghost4linux
James____ : how can i get the image smaller, or make it to iso or something so it become smaller
adrien : James____: use bzip2 or xz/lzma2
adrien : (I prefer xz/lzma2)
Master-Passe : James____: if g4l makes the image just by copying every bit from harddrive then image is size of harddrive
Master-Passe : if you don't use some compression
ananke : James____: as noted in ##linux, your issue is related to the fact that you're backing up the entire block device [or partition], rather than a filesystem
adrien : if it's quite 'dumb', you might also 'dd if=/dev/zero of=~/crap bs=1M', it'll help compression
ananke : compression won't do much good if you're backing up unused disk space [which is full of junk eventually]
adrien : what I said will also make recovery of any deleted file impossible
James____ : I used the default lzop encryption
adrien : well, you might want of=/tmp/crap instead, it depends on the partition
adrien : s/encryption/compression/
James____ : err
James____ : compression
James____ : :)
James____ : so the lzop image i have can i somehow make it smaller
James____ : or must i make a new g4l image with another compression
adrien : the best thing would be to tar instead of ghost
adrien : do you want to backup the files or do you have a specific need for the whole drive/partition rather than only its content
ananke : James____: how can you make a truckfull of garbage smaller? by not packing a truck full of garbage in the first place
James____ : so if making new images
James____ : which compressions must i use in g4l
adrien : ananke++
adrien : well said :-)
ananke : James____: doesn't really matter
James____ : it has gzip,lzop,gzip2
Master-Passe : James____: non of those helps
James____ : it says in documentation lzop will be smaller and run faster
ananke : James____: lzop is fine. again, the issue is not with compression
adrien : lzop faster than bzip2? tell me who wrote that so I can burn him
Master-Passe : :D
adrien : s/faster/smaller/ of course ;-)
James____ : so i should try with bzip2 intead of lzop?
ananke : wow. it's like a brick wall
Master-Passe : :D

raela: there should be an irc age limit
rob0: If there was an age limit, I'd be too old for IRC!
thumbs: old fart.
rob0: I prefer the title of Senior Flatulent.

< JessiJames> question: why just feature gnome?
< Kent> Cause it's ubuntu

< diwwin> caker: no. what does that chown do?
< diwwin> caker: I might have. I am too new at this.
<@caker> diwwin: who owns these? ls -dl /var/log/ /bin/ /usr/
< atourino> diwwin: it recursively changes the owner of that directory (and all it's contents, hence the recursive part) to be owned by aegir
< diwwin> I just noticed everyting in /etc/ is also owned by aegir.
< diwwin> Is it time to redeploy Karmic?
<@caker> diwwin: k, reinstall.
< atourino> diwwin: I dont know if you'd like my opinion.... but I say... fuck aegir
< diwwin> caker: What does k, reinstall do?
<@Perihelion> -.o
< diwwin> atourino: aegir is the goal
< atourino> he's saying you should do a clean reinstall
< atourino> ok, reinstall
< diwwin> someday, someday, I will look back on this and laugh. now I just laugh to keep from crying.

< pegwole> Slackware Linux, the best of 1995 on 3 disks.
< Kirok> The best 1995 has to offer
<+jlindsay> Pat said that for real one day on tllts.
Something like Slackware hasn't been
relevant since 1995.
< pegwole> I changed it to make it more current.
< pegwole> Also I shouldn't talk smack about Slackware,
Alan Hicks might kick my ass.
< ClaudioM> hahahah
< ClaudioM> only if you say it in ##slackware

<+notKlaatu> i use touchpad gestures on my macbook.
three swipes the left, one swipe up, two
diagonal, a tap, another swipe to the left,
and bang! text.
< pegwole> So your big secret gesture was a right
triangle?
< Integgroll> notKlaatu: what sort of alien language is
that?
<+notKlaatu> a dumb one
< Integgroll> obviously
< ClaudioM> pegwole: I think notKlaatu has a gesture for
you but not easily displayed in IRC

09:39 <resno> so, i want to do stress testing on a site. what should iuse?
09:40 <Integgroll> 4chan
