L6[02:38:29] <MichiBot> CompanionCube's new record is 4 hours, 27 minutes and 50 seconds! CompanionCube also gained 0.00532 (0.00266 x 2) tonk points for stealing the tonk. Position #2. Need 0.03593 more points to pass Forec​aster!

L11[02:51:24] <MichiBot> Ama​nda: I saw that "iced creams" is the best choice in a vision

L27[07:20:28] <CompanionCube> dammit

L28[07:47:19] <Forec​aster> well foo

L29[07:47:54] <Forec​aster> while my servers are down I thought I could put my comic downloader thingy on the work intranet server

L30[07:48:18] <Forec​aster> but the intranet is http, which prevents the downloader from being called since all the comic sites are https..

L31[08:03:01] <Forec​aster> and my queue of stuff that's waiting to be downloaded is growing ever longer

L32[08:03:14] <Forec​aster> I'm very glad the downloader is pretty much entirely automatic

L33[08:25:15] <Forec​aster> Also, I was going to work on a different thing, sorting out the changes I'd stacked up at home

L34[08:25:36] <Forec​aster> I'm sure I committed and pushed them, but apparently they didn't go where I thought they'd go, since I can't find them now...

L35[08:25:42] <Forec​aster> todays not going well so far

L36[08:31:41] <Forec​aster> from a "getting things done standpoint at least"

L40[10:31:16] <AsexyMTF> Hello

L41[10:32:47] <Forec​aster> hollo

L43[11:05:42] <Forec​aster> oh well

L44[11:10:21] <Forec​aster> dangit, 20 minutes until tonk time, I'll be in the car then >:

L45[11:34:37] <Be​nji> Hi guys,

L46[11:59:46] <Kristo​pher38> I believe you need to swap it out with something from the robot inventory (could be an empty slot as well) and check that slot

L47[12:05:34] <Forec​aster> %tonkout

L48[12:05:34] <MichiBot> Golly! Forec​aster! You beat Va​ur's previous record of 4 hours, 31 minutes and 20 seconds (By 24 minutes and 24 seconds)! I hope you're happy!

L49[12:05:35] <MichiBot> Forec​aster has stolen the tonkout! Tonk has been reset! They gained 0.004 tonk points! plus 0.003 bonus points for consecutive hours! (Reduced to 50% because stealing) Current score: 0.32161. Position #1

L50[12:10:07] <Forec​aster> @Benji Kristopher is correct

L51[12:11:44] <Be​nji> Yeah, made my way around it now --Functions

L55[12:27:05] <Forec​aster> I'm sure you're very disappointed

L56[12:27:31] <Amanda> Shucks

L60[12:50:17] <Forec​aster> %sip

L61[12:50:17] <MichiBot> You drink a rather grathnode potion (New!). Forecaster has no memory of drinking a potion.

L62[12:50:28] <Forec​aster> why am I holding this empty bottle...

L63[12:50:55] <Amanda> The foxen ninjas gave it to you

L64[12:51:09] <Forec​aster> but why

L65[12:51:24] <Forec​aster> also how do I know it wasn't a cat ninja?

L66[12:51:28] <Amanda> To implicate you in a poisioning

L67[12:51:39] <Amanda> And becasue cats don't use poison

L68[12:52:00] <Forec​aster> but this is a potion bottle, not a poison bottle

L69[12:52:12] <Amanda> Poison can be put in a potion bottle

L70[12:52:26] <Amanda> Why else would Michibot be making foxen with her "potions"

L71[12:52:28] <Forec​aster> nobody would do such a thing!

L72[12:52:47] <Forec​aster> that'd be false advertising!

L73[12:53:33] <Forec​aster> I'm pretty sure that's because MichiBot likes pranks

L74[12:53:56] <Forec​aster> unfortunately sometimes the pranks involve things like pits with spikes in them

L75[12:54:10] <Amanda> Ah yes, the war crime prank

L77[13:01:31] <Forec​aster> a bucket on a door, a pit with spikes, about the same to MichiBot

L78[15:03:47] <Ocawes​ome101> %tonk

L79[15:03:48] <MichiBot> Aw jeez! Ocawes​ome101! You beat Forec​aster's previous record of <0 (By 2 hours, 58 minutes and 13 seconds)! I hope you're happy!

L80[15:03:49] <MichiBot> Ocawesome101's new record is 2 hours, 58 minutes and 13 seconds! Ocawesome101 also gained 0.00297 tonk points for stealing the tonk. Position #9. Need 0.005674 more points to pass S​ky!

L82[15:40:09] <Forec​aster> %sip

L83[15:40:09] <MichiBot> You drink a shining pussplum potion (New!). The bottle turns into an automato spear.

L84[15:41:28] <Forec​aster> Normally a weapon made out of vegetable would be terrible, but a weapon made out of mechanical vegetable, surprisingly good

L85[15:51:49] <Amanda> Isn't an automato just a tomato with a gear in it

L86[15:53:15] <Amanda> and a screw

L87[15:54:05] <Amanda> Guess not https://starbounder.org/File:Automato.png

L88[15:57:15] <Amanda> MAybe that was an earlier sprite, or maybe I just mandella'd myself

L105[18:04:07] <MichiBot> You drink a soft cyan potion (New!). Someone just had some of Vaur's favourite food and they didn't get any!

L106[18:05:18] <Ar​iri> how bad is it to start a raid 5 with mixed use drives (most of them not much use) if i'm tryna save cash

L107[18:05:26] <Ar​iri> cc @Michiyo @Nadja

L108[18:08:06] <Va​ur> are they same size ?

L109[18:15:19] <Ar​iri> yea

L110[18:17:46] <Forec​aster> on the nanometer?

L111[18:17:53] <Mic​hiyo> If you're going to use used drives, I'd recommend keeping at least 1 spare handy just in case. If a drive fails you'll want to start that replacement ASAP.

L112[18:18:04] <Forec​aster> they better be or things are going to burst into flames

L113[18:18:24] <Mic​hiyo> (I mean the same can be said with new drives... but especially with old ones.)

L114[18:18:42] <Forec​aster> you can put it off until there's just one drive left

L115[18:18:48] <Forec​aster> what's the worst that could happen

L116[18:19:41] <Hawk777> I’m no expert, but I’ve always thought it weird that so many people seem to build RAID sets by buying N of the same model of drive all at once. Wouldn’t it be better to have drives with a variety of models (so a model that turns out to have a previously unknown bug will only affect one drive instead of all of them), and a variety of ages (so that as drives fail by age, it’s likely only one will age out at a time rather than all

L117[18:19:41] <Hawk777> em getting old at once)?

L118[18:20:36] <Hawk777> I know drives don’t all fail at the same age, but even so, variation seems like it should be a good thing.

L119[18:21:17] <Forec​aster> it probably doesn't hurt, but buying a set of identical drives probably wont fail close together

L120[18:21:44] <Va​ur> avoiding failures as much as possible is best (hence why avoiding old).

L121[18:22:12] <Va​ur> with mixed drives the chance of a second drive failing while you try to rebuild your array will much increase

L122[18:22:13] <Hawk777> Variety in models still seems like it should be a good thing then, even if not in ages, to avoid bad batches or bad models.

L123[18:22:50] <Hawk777> Why is that the case?

L124[18:23:01] <Va​ur> mixed ages I should say

L125[18:23:04] <Forec​aster> I just don't use raids, it's worked pretty well so far

L126[18:23:30] <Ar​iri> >Michiyo: If you're going to use used drives, I'd recommend keeping at least 1 spa…

L127[18:23:30] <Ar​iri> mmmm makes sense

L128[18:23:47] <Forec​aster> My media server uses paired drives which might be a kind of raid? I'm not sure

L129[18:23:50] <Hawk777> I would have thought, if you have mixed ages, then chances are the first drive will fail earlier, which makes the average ages of the *other* drives *younger* at the point of rebuild than if you used all new drives.

L130[18:23:58] <Ar​iri> i was thinking of doing a 3x2TB drive array with raid 5 on an old desktop pc and run truenas on it

L131[18:24:23] <Ar​iri> but if i could also find a really cheap simple rack with just a bit more ram (truenas needs 8 supposedly and i have 8) i'd rather do that

L133[18:26:21] <Forec​aster> Things aren't going well over there it seems

L134[18:26:56] <Va​ur> seems like if I were working for Musk I would start brushing out my resume

L135[18:28:11] <Ar​iri> tbh i think if u can keep a job in a company musk owns that's pretty good on your resume

L136[18:28:38] <Va​ur> if you can handle working for the guy

L137[18:28:47] <Va​ur> doesn't sounds like a safe working environment

L147[18:54:13] <Forec​aster> Well, there is a catbus

L148[18:54:38] <Hawk777> True. Is a bus a type of car though?

L149[18:55:00] <Forec​aster> no, it's a type of cat
