Do I really need 15GB worth of in /var/chroot/maple on my daily-use T61, cashew? maple was my T41 that I've not used since 2011-07-01.
about 9 months ago from web-
Before people starting answering me with advice on that,I should note that as I dented that last, I started running rm -rf /var/chroot/maple
-
And, before anyone asks the obvious, yes, of course all that data is backed up. Twice. Just a question of what I carry around with me.
-
OTOH, now that I think about it, fact that I must houseclean a 366GB partition seems bizarre to me. GPL violators,stop eating my disk space!
-
@bkuhn Since you've already decided to rm -fr I'll just say that those are interesting hostnames. Do you normally pick tree names?
-
@jxself, !Conservancy's computers are named after trees. Maple &cashew,which produce 2 items I like to eat,were my 1st 2 Conservancy laptops
-
@bkuhn do you like the cashew so-called fruit, the nut (which happens to be the actual fruit), or both?
-
@lxoliva,I'm vaguely aware of this distinction,but I eat what is called the "cashew nut" here in USA, which look slike this: ur1.ca/a08mp
-
@bkuhn ok, that makes more sense; I guess fresh cashew “fruit” is hard to find in the US; how about bottled juice concentrate?
-
@jxself, I don't own my own laptop;I believe strongly in allowing "reasonable personal use" of work equipment,plus I'm almost always working

Speaking of "reasonable personal use of work" stuff, I should post my email to #Westinghouse HR re:their unenforceable computer usage policy
-
@bkuhn and we do appreciate what you do for software freedom
-
Thanks, @dyfet. I just realized I haven't seen you in 2 years or something like that. Are you coming to any conferences soon?
-
@bkuhn do you BIOS unlock your Conservancy laptops? What 802.11 chipset so you use?
-
@bkuhn not to mention that you have to use eBay (and PayPal)
-
Cardbus or mini-pci ?
-
Mini-pci: inside the actual T60. @paulv diagnosed and saw the packets were right, but the VoIP is always choppy, but fine w/ wired ethernet
-
@bkuhn any chance you guys can upgrade to an AR9380 for usage with ath9k? http://minipci.biz/
-
@bkuhn choppy VoIP is really a PITA to diagnose, simply bc there are so many possible causes. Codec mismatch, NAT'ing issues, latency, etc/
-
@x1101, choppy VoIP is definitely wireless-card related in this case. I know other issues you mention, all have been eliminated.
-
Do you have mini-PCI-express? Is it Half mini-pci-exrpess or Full mini-pci-express, Half is the small cards, Full is the long cards
-
If you take a picture of the cards / slot on your motherboard I can tell, I might be able to get you some for #linuxcon
