22:09 rue_shop3 newwwwwww concluder!
22:09 rue_shop3 anyhow
22:10 rue_shop3 how long do you think I could run a linux machine off an SD card for?
22:10 Tom_itx quite a while
22:11 Tom_itx why?
22:11 rue_shop3 the laptop drive I have in the new jukebox is pretty noisy
22:11 Tom_itx the 2.6.x image will boot off a thumb drive
22:11 Tom_itx linuxcnc...
22:11 rue_shop3 yea, but if the os is always changing files it'll kill the card
22:11 Tom_itx they're cheap
22:11 Tom_itx make sure you have load leveling enabled
22:12 Tom_itx i got a 64gb the other day
22:12 rue_shop3 ~$1/G
22:12 Tom_itx wasn't that much
22:12 rue_shop3 $2/G is easier to find
22:12 Tom_itx it's in the phone :D
22:12 Tom_itx windows didn't like it
22:12 rue_shop3 at the mart they start at $4/G
22:13 rue_shop3 its funny what makes windows choke up
22:13 rue_shop3 ok I'm rebooting this...
22:43 rue_shop3 thaaaaat worked
22:48 Tom_itx what did you do?
22:50 rue_shop2 after completely setting up the machine, i think the hard drive ust bailed on me
22:50 rue_shop2 just
22:55 rue_shop2 see if I have better luck with the new jukebox
22:57 rue_shop2 so the jukebox has been running for 15 years (since 1999) continious
22:57 rue_shop2 (less power outages)
22:58 rue_shop2 I just shut it down
22:59 rue_shop2 131000 hours
23:00 rue_shop2 not so much as 1 hardware upgrade or 1 reinstall
23:03 rue_shop2 P1-100 living in an XT case
23:09 rue_shop2 wow its quiet in the shop without that thing running
23:09 rue_shop2 you wouldn't beleive how much white noise its fans put out
23:12 rue_shop2 haha and the new jukebox dosnt want to work
23:14 rue_shop2 oo scarry
23:15 rue_shop2 I think the amp was grounding its power thru the audio connector
23:15 rue_shop2 its ok now...
23:16 rue_shop2 :/ see how long the hardware lasts...
23:23 rue_shop2 the board latency is tooo terrible for the ir reciever to work right
23:24 rue_shop2 or...
23:24 rue_shop2 I may need to recalibrate the remote timing
23:25 rue_shop2 the one I trained it on is working
23:35 rue_shop2 it sounds better, but its just cause of the lack of the background white noise
