Mar 25 12:12:02 <bullfinch> ohai fellow geeks. Wondering how the dreamplug is behaving. Same heating/psu-problems as the guruplug? with gbit-network and stuff
Mar 25 12:32:47 <elFidel> hi
Mar 25 12:32:57 <elFidel> waiting for similar infos ;)
Mar 25 12:33:11 <elFidel> bullfinch: have youz checked the forum already?
Mar 25 12:33:25 <elFidel> for user-reports regarding the dreamplug?
Mar 25 14:31:48 <Tootoot222> bullfinch: i haven't heard anything about people having problems with it; they made the heatsink part of the outer wall, as well as adding several air vents; so it should be able to cool off much easier
Mar 25 14:32:22 <bullfinch> Tootoot222: great info
Mar 25 14:32:24 <Tootoot222> the guruplug didn't have psu problems, it was just that the heatspreader on the original guruplug+ was right up against the psu, and so it made the psu seem hot
Mar 25 14:32:43 <Tootoot222> if you take the psu away from that hotplate it doesn't even get warm
Mar 25 14:33:12 <bullfinch> elFidel: I saw some info where people asked to run full load traffic over gbit network and check out the problems.
Mar 25 14:33:15 <Tootoot222> i think they even used a different wifi chip in the dreamplug, so the weirdness with the guruplug's wifi should be fixed too
Mar 25 14:33:29 <bullfinch> elFidel: Havn't seen any responses though.
Mar 25 14:34:16 <bullfinch> Tootoot222: I'm just concerned with the dual gigabit ports as they fucked up the single one on the guruplug
Mar 25 14:34:23 <bullfinch> most likely they learned
Mar 25 14:34:27 <bullfinch> I hope so at least
Mar 25 14:34:40 <bullfinch> cheap product and awesome if it works as specified.
Mar 25 14:35:08 <Tootoot222> no; on the guruplug+ if you ran both at gigiabit it would overheat; running 1 on gigabit was fine, and now that the heating problems seem solved, running both shouldn't be a problem
Mar 25 14:35:25 <bullfinch> Have a nice weekend guys. I'll check back in a couple. Hopefully someone has benched the dreamplug on the forum.
Mar 25 14:35:43 <Tootoot222> (in installed a heatsink with fins on my guruplug plus and it runs fine with both ports gigabit, so there's nothing wrong with the hardware; it was just overheating)
Mar 25 14:35:55 <bullfinch> ah ok
Mar 25 14:36:00 <bullfinch> thanks for the info Tootoot222
Mar 25 14:36:02 <Tootoot222> np
Mar 25 14:36:08 <bullfinch> My setup
Mar 25 14:37:10 <bullfinch> well my dream setup is connecting my internet though the dreamplug and using a portmultiplicator on the sataport. then connecting two sata-disks on the portmultiplicator and running a raid1.
Mar 25 14:38:13 <bullfinch> if it can route the net, download using rtorrent to the raided harddrives and possibly dealing with encrypting the disks at the same time I'll be set with the plug for life
Mar 25 14:38:40 <bullfinch> I'll probably have to ditch the encryption but the rest should work.
Mar 25 14:39:05 <bullfinch> running all on about 30 watts is happytimes.
Mar 25 14:40:20 <Tootoot222> that's very close to my current setup with my guruplug
Mar 25 14:40:43 <Tootoot222> i have it attached to my modem, and a switch on the other port, routing packets with iptables, dnsmasq for dns and dhcp
Mar 25 14:41:13 <Tootoot222> i even set up a hurricane electric ipv6 tunnel and ran radvd to announce the prefix to my LAN lol
Mar 25 14:41:26 <Tootoot222> so now my computers transparently and automatically have ipv6 networking
Mar 25 14:41:35 <bullfinch> nice.
Mar 25 14:41:51 <Tootoot222> but it routes my whole network (4 users + various devices left on and connected) easily
Mar 25 14:42:08 <Tootoot222> while also running rtorrent, and my IRC client (irssi)
Mar 25 14:42:20 <bullfinch> its probably goint to suck at truecrypting io
Mar 25 14:42:30 <Tootoot222> it's actually not that bad at truecrypt
Mar 25 14:42:37 <bullfinch> orly?
Mar 25 14:42:45 <bullfinch> fapfapfap
Mar 25 14:42:56 <Tootoot222> at least, it wasn't really noticable when i had my truecrypt share mounted over nfs
Mar 25 14:43:07 <Tootoot222> watch videos at full speed etc
Mar 25 14:43:25 <bullfinch> thats more network io though right?
Mar 25 14:43:48 <Tootoot222> well, the file i/o has to be fast enough before network i/o starts bottlenecking
Mar 25 14:43:59 <Tootoot222> it's on a gigabit switch and all my computers (save 2) are gigabit
Mar 25 14:45:09 <bullfinch> I'll have to check out if I can find any hidden block device encryption that is not horrible towards the arm-processor
Mar 25 14:45:43 <bullfinch> well. copying to or from on gbit will keep it busy as hell I guess
Mar 25 14:46:15 <Tootoot222> truecrypt does compile on armv5
Mar 25 14:46:29 <bullfinch> thanks for all the info Tootoot222. I'll check back in a couple. Hopefully someone has put out results on the dreamplug.
Mar 25 14:46:34 <Tootoot222> alright
Mar 25 14:46:57 <bullfinch> yeah. but as far as I know its only optimized towards x86. specially the i7 is insane
Mar 25 14:47:25 <bullfinch> performance on the arm is probably just proof of concept-like and nothing useful
Mar 25 14:47:44 <bullfinch> I don't really need that great speed
Mar 25 14:48:17 <bullfinch> streaming from it though samba and writing to it with rtorrent at the same time are my only requrements
Mar 25 14:48:34 <Tootoot222> that i can attest to working perfectally
Mar 25 14:48:42 <bullfinch> great!
Mar 25 14:48:47 <bullfinch> made my weekend
Mar 25 14:48:51 <Tootoot222> =)
Mar 25 14:49:10 <bullfinch> have a nice one man. Thanks for the info
Mar 25 14:49:45 <Tootoot222> np
