I'll be there performing my usual OpenSCAD exhibitionism, whilst
eating my standard hot jalapeno crisps and cool premium hummus.

What up hackers,

That tricky ol' calendar has rolled around as it does and once again it
is Tuesday. That means from about 2000BST there will be folk on the
workadventure/jitsi here:

Hello Hackers,

Reminder that we hold two weekly mumble calls. One of which is tonight,
if you want to join and don't know how please reply and we'll help you
figure it out.

We are looking for ideas for virtual events and for volunteers to run
them, the response last was a bit lackluster.

I'll be down to work on extracting magnets from hard drives for

Discarded hard drive guts for everyone!

I am too far away to come in and it will be Wednesday for me by the time
any of you lot show up.

Have you played with it yet? It would be cool if you were using our

I'll be along. The batteries for my drill and sander/multitool thing
have stopped charging so I'm going to take them in to poke at with a
meter and see if I can figure out where the problem is, if it can be
fixed and is worth fixing. I'd quite like to modify the batteries to
have the 18650 cells removable so they can be put in a reliable charger.
My backup plan is to make them mains powered so might do some testing to
see if 12V works for that.

Hi, Nordin and Doc.

I won't be in again because I'm still building servers for Milan,
which is getting a boring and predictable excuse for not coming to the
Space!

Anyway, congrats. to you both on becoming directors of the Space.

before you ask - Yes - I aim to be in Tuesday.

I have the drives and have started stripping them down.

I have a lot to learn! Any guidance would be welcome.

- What software do I need to make the Gerber(???) files?

Hello Hackers

Again it is Tuesday, 57North's weekly open night. Anyone is welcome to come and
see and space and what we get up to. Normally there is some hacking, drinking
of tea and wondering where all the Arduino's are.

Re: [57north-discuss] Tuesday Talkers

[Andy Gaskell]

Hi

I don't mind doing a Tuesday up talk, some random ideas I could do are...

   - Web development state of the nation - and insider's view on web
   development generally and locally.  I did this at TechMeetup a couple of
   months ago, so one or two people have maybe seen this already.
   - Inside a healthy Open Source project and community - In October I went
   to Joomla Day (Joomla is an Open Source CMS, Joomla Day is the annual
   conference), so this would be a talk about various Open Source project
   governance models and practical experiences of the community.
   - An introduction to the Joomla CMS.  This would be a quick fly though
   the Joomla CMS system and platform.  So we'd talk though use cases, user
   experiences, installation, configuration, code structure, developing
   extensions, coding up templates, tool-sets, skill-sets and comparisons to
   other CMS systems.

...so if anyone would be interested in one or more of them, let me know.
Don't expect anything too cool or TED-like though, just blurb about the
things I'm into :)

Cheers

Andy

[57north-discuss] Tuesday Talks!

[Dave Hibberd]

Following the good feedback from this Tuesday, I'd like to run another
talk on Tuesday.

Have I got any volunteers to share what they're up to? I want to hear
about your projects, what excites you or what you've read recently that
you think is cool. 

If you would be interested in speaking about your project or something
else cool, drop me an email at d...@vehibberd.com.

downgrading it to the previous LTS, which worked ;-)

Hi, Tom.

I'm hoping to get the rest of the scrap servers from Kit Wright and then
we will see what we have before deciding what to do with them.

I'm interested in running Qlustar on them:

  https://qlustar.com/

[Qlustar is free for non-profit use]

I'd also be interested in talking about BTRFS to anyone who is
interested in 'next-gen' filesystems. I've been experimenting with it
using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS if anyone wants to compare notes.

Sadly, my Parallella has not yet arrived - However, Callum E. has 3D
printed a fan bracket for it from the design I mentioned last week.

Might drink a couple of beers if I have to :-)

Bye,

  Tony.

 Cool, I am also on the look out for rackable machine. If we end up with too
 many I am sure I could help.

Hi, Tom.

Do you mean to use in outer space? [outside the 57North Space]

I've bought replacement motherboards for the 2U 'Rackable' systems that
I took back from the Space. You're welcome to have some of those if you
are prepared to test and fit the salvaged components to the replacement
motherboards. I thought these Xeon systems from Petrotechnics might be a
lot better, but from what me, Carl and Rob saw last week they are not...
However they do at least work, which is more than can be said for most
of the 2U 'Rackable' Opteron 200 servers that I donated ;-)

Bye,

  Tony.

Hi, Tom.

No word from Kit yet about the servers, but I'll try to get in touch and
collect them today if possible. Hope that people will volunteer to help
me carry them up the stairs!

BTW, I left the 2U Opteron 200 server that you adopted when I took away
the others: You might want to replace it with one of the Xeon servers?

 As usual members that are coming a long with a plan should reply to this on

I'll be working on the Flashy badge workshop instructions and maybe more 
prototyping.

Cheers,
Ed

Hi,

Not coming in tonight - Got disk problems :-(

I got a Startech 4-port PCIe SATA III controller card (PEXSAT34RH) to
use with some shiny new 4TB SATA disks that I bought. This controller is
based on the Marvell 88SE9230 chipset and, I now discover, lots of
people have been having problems trying to use it under Linux...

To cut a long story short, I thought it was because of the SATA III 6G
speed at first so I set a libata module parameter to limit the speed:

  /etc/modprobe.d/libata.conf
  options libata force 3.0Gbps

That did NOT cure the problem :-(

However, the system is a lot more stable when I disable NCQ (Native
Command Queueing) even if I leave it at 6G (i.e. not limited):

  options libata force noncq

Now in the process of restoring ~2TB from backups...

See you next Tue!

  Tony.
