The Binary Times – Series 7 Episode 12

Series 7 Episode 12 – In this episode Mark has fixed his server, installed Open Suse and is using btrfs, Wayne has been helping his neighbour with their IT issues, building an internet doorbell, playing with more python and more… , more under the hood tips and another epic Irish saying. Enjoy.

00:24 Wayne welcomes us to Season 7 Episode 12 from a slightly windy, spitty rainy kinda Bristol. Wayne’s not getting what he wants, but Mark reminds us we get what we need, from an overcast, but with no rain yet Kilkishen.

02:57 The conversation turns towards what’s been keeping the lads busy. Mark tells us that not only has he built a Lego International Space Station, which he is hopefully going to be talking about on Maker’s Corner, another show from the Otherside Network.

Mark goes on to tell us about his amazing adventures in rebooting his server setup. He thought of FreeNAS but the minumum requirements of 8GB RAM led him to consider btrfs instead. A presentation by Marc Merlin helped Mark decide on btrfs. Mark installed OpenSUSE Leap 15.1 on the 60GB SSD using the default btrfs and subvolumes for the root partition, and then used the RAID 1 feature provided by btrs for both data and metadata on the two large drives and mounted them seperately as data storage. Mark praises the OpenSUSE documentation, particularly the Reference Guide and the Storage Administrators Book. Mark also praises the btrfs wiki, Arch wiki and also the Gentoo wiki. Wayne mentions the article that Mark shared about Kubuntu considering Hugo to generate their web site.

23:30 Wayne tells us about some recent wireless support issues he was involved in.

28:13 Wayne goes on to tell us about the internet doorbell he built, Telegram bot and all. He was encouraged to do this thanks to goading from Mark.

32:16 Wayne tells us he’s gone back to Head First Python. This prompts a discussion around programming in general, python in particular and even a linux distribution with a Python Userspace. Wayne recommends simplicity when starting, and suggests using Thonny rather than Pycharm as an easy to use Integrated Development Environment. The guys discuss whether you need an IDE at all.

Wayne swings the conversation around to problems he’s having with Atril and his search for a suitable replacement. Foliate has been working out well so far. Mark gives out about some program he can’t remember the name of. The guys hint at what’s going to be on the special for this season.

48:02 Under the Hood – Mark recommends listeners check out Cosplay Like a Pro and Get Certified by Packt.

Wayne’s first Under the Hood is to use the middle button to past text that has already been selected for copying. His second is an interesting utility called Bashtop, a resource monitor that shows usage and stats for processor, memory, disks, network and processes.

Irish Saying of the show is “an coinín bán”, or the white rabbit.

We hope you enjoy this show as much as we did making it.
