02:41:11 <chris> warlord: is it a realistic assumption for a payment there must be only ONE transfer (bank/crcard) split?
02:42:29 <chris> if yes: I can refine new-owner-report so that clicking invoice->payment leads to the transfer split which is nicer

04:06:05 <chris> warlord: (just a small addendum) business lots vs accounts... already gnucash > quicken because income/expense are kept in accounts rather than categories, so it *would* be a minor stretch to keep customers as special accounts :)
04:06:17 <chris> not really pushing it further, mind; a small obsevation

08:04:30 <chris> warlord: thx. I've refactored so that the invoice->payment can handle multiple non-APAR splits even if theoretically there should be only 1.

13:24:43 <linas> more delays, now w/ disk problems
13:26:39 *** testy has quit IRC
13:36:39 *** calvinct has joined #gnucash
13:39:38 *** phoenix has joined #gnucash
13:39:44 <jralls> linas: Power supply failed during a disk i/o?
13:40:16 <jralls> Or does the disk have an HW problem too?
13:42:00 *** testy has joined #gnucash
13:59:13 <linas> some of the data is on a pata drive and the new box has neither pata connectors, nor an oldfashioned pci slot for pata adapters
14:00:52 <linas> it was stupid of me to organize the disk partitions that way,
14:01:13 <linas> but when the disks are hiden, you don't think "oh this is pata better not do that"
14:01:38 *** frakturfreak has joined #gnucash
14:01:38 *** ChanServ sets mode: +v frakturfreak
14:01:47 <linas> anyway, my son has a pata-to-usb adapter .. but we just tried it and it doesn't work.
14:02:37 <linas> turns out the old motherboard is OK, so now to drive around and find a powersupply
14:03:10 <linas> but wife took car and is gone somewhere ...
14:03:49 <jralls> Parallel ATA? How old is this thing?!
14:04:26 <linas> well, the disks are raided, to avoid trouble for single-disk failure
14:04:43 <linas> and some of the disks are old, cause they never failed
14:05:12 *** mauritslamers has quit IRC
14:05:31 <linas> I no longer have a spare power supply ...
14:05:33 <jralls> But the MB must be pretty old too to still have PATA connectors on it.
14:06:06 <linas> MB had PCI slots and pci-to-pata controllers
14:06:42 <linas> MB's never have enough sata or pata connectors so I have plenty of controller boards
14:07:34 <linas> the irony is that I have both a 4TB spinner and a 1GB SSD still in the box, unused ...
14:08:49 <linas> s/still in the box/still in the original shrink wrap/
14:08:51 <jralls> Well PCI original was superseded about the same time as PATA, so we're still talking pretty old stuff.
14:09:45 <linas> The web server hit rate is so low, and cpu usage is so low, I probably could (should) run it on a raspberry pi
14:09:54 <jralls> Heh. I have a copy of Win2K still shrinkwrapped. Want it? ;-)
14:10:00 <linas> so old boxes, if they don't fail, never get replaced.
14:10:41 <linas> I used to have a shrink-wrapped RedHat 1.0 somewhere. I fear its gone
14:11:30 <jralls> Funny that the hit rate is low considering all of the whining this week about it being down.
14:11:40 <linas> Back in the 2000's I would have a failed disk drive about annually.
14:12:02 <linas> Now, they stopped failing, and instead I'm getting a failed power supply almost annually
14:12:49 <linas> I never ever ever had failed power supplies before, until about 3-4 years ago
14:12:58 <jralls> If those p/s date back to the early aughties then they're probably on the wrong end of the bathtub curve.
14:13:23 <linas> maybe ...
14:14:49 <jralls> Are replacement p/s for those old MBs readily available?
14:15:19 *** calvinct has quit IRC
14:15:34 <jralls> Not that the electronics would change, just the connector on the MB.
14:15:38 <linas> I think so, this one is a 24-pin supply, same as the brand-new one.
14:16:42 <jralls> That's a relief. Keeping antiques going can be a bit of a trial sometimes.
14:16:56 <linas> but the brand new one is now in use ... I don't want to disassemble that...
14:17:15 <linas> well, the goal is not to keep the antique going, but to get the data off of it.
14:17:38 <linas> and, well, have at least one working spare box for some rainy day
14:18:06 <linas> I thought that using a rasberry pi would be a good idea, but all the binaries are wrong.
14:18:20 <jralls> And maybe a spare power supply, particularly if they're failing at the 1-a-year rate.
14:18:34 <jralls> Yeah, ARM vs. Intel.
14:18:53 <linas> well, this is the "last" "old" box I have
14:19:12 <linas> everything else is newer, but that is a relative term.
14:19:17 <jralls> What's it doing besides www.gnucash.org?
14:19:56 <linas> it had an ntp server on it, I think, and one of three nameservers
14:20:23 <linas> I hope its not the master nameserver, that would be a drag.
14:21:01 <linas> and apparently I need a better backup story
14:21:23 <linas> I have backups, but not full system backups, making restore a painful process...
14:21:43 <linas> Ugh.
14:21:45 <jralls> All of that SW should be readily available from whatever linux-on-pi distro you prefer. You can get the gnucash website from code, so the only backup issue would be your domain files.
14:22:16 <jralls> and the letsencrypt cert for GnuCash.
14:22:32 <linas> well, but some of my data is on a pata drive :-)
14:22:37 *** sbluhm has joined #gnucash
14:22:37 *** ChanServ sets mode: +v sbluhm
14:22:54 <linas> soon to be fixed..
14:23:32 <linas> ohh, we just came up with another idea ...
14:23:37 <linas> hang on

14:40:48 *** jervin has quit IRC
14:48:18 <linas> I have a box w/PCI slots .. but no molex power connectors
14:48:33 <linas> fashioning a power cable now ..
14:57:11 *** warlord has quit IRC
14:58:17 <linas> A big shout-out FUCK YOU to systemd
14:58:38 <linas> They should hang the systemd folks from streetlamps
14:58:43 <jralls> There are initd distros out there you know.
15:02:09 <jralls> Time for lunch. Back in a while.
15:05:59 <linas> It is stunning how incomptent the systemd folks are
15:06:23 <linas> I can't begin to tell you how vicerally I hte them
15:06:31 <linas> viscerally hate
15:06:38 <linas> I can't even type, I hate them so much
15:07:26 <linas> so I finally got the missing data on the missing drive but systemd is like shoving sticks into my bicycle spokes
15:08:26 <linas> It's hard to imagine how one could build something more fucked up than systemd
