| 03:37 | <Chupacabra1> I Jim still among the living?
| |
| 03:39 | I was just reminicing about Linuxworld in 2002 on Mastodon.
| |
| 03:40 | Then I see the project is still alive. Made my day.
| |
| 03:43 | We got LTSP server proven at IBM for their big Linux servers.
| |
| 03:45 | Maybe I spke too soon about this project still being active.
| |
| 03:46 | I still get emails about people joining LTSP.
| |
| 04:11 | <quinox> the project is still very much alive
| |
| 04:12 | Alkis does most of the development work; the sun rise in his timezone, you're a bit early :)
| |
| 04:13 | * the sun is just rising
| |
| 04:15 | in 2019/2020 he completely redid the way it works, it's more light-weight in its integration now making it even possible to booot LTSP clients using a vanilla livecd as base
| |
| 04:18 | it no longer supports thin clients, primarily because X11 became practically unusable
| |
| 04:20 | if you want something similar you can boot a lightweight fat client and run VNC / RDP / X2Go / NX as UI, should be a lot better than the old thin clients
| |
| 04:22 | for me the new LTSP is a great improvement over the old one, far less integration issues + more flexible because of the layered FS

| 04:39 | <quinox> it's still very much a niche though, that part hasn't changed
| |
| 04:40 | * alkisg waves :) | |
| 04:45 | <Chupacabra1> No one knows Jim?
| |
| 04:46 | He pioneered it.
| |
| 04:47 | One of my best Linux friends
| |
| 04:48 | <alkisg> Chupacabra1: sure I've met Jim in person in an LTSP-by-the sea even at Main
| |
| 04:48 | s/even/event/, s/Main/Maine/
| |
| 04:48 | <Chupacabra1> when?
| |
| 04:48 | Is he breathing?
| |
| 04:49 | <alkisg> Hehe. That was 10 years ago. They had one last October too (2022), I think Jim and Scot were there, but I haven't really heard recent news about them
| |
| 04:49 | <Chupacabra1> Don't want to email if he is not.
| |
| 04:50 | Ya. Scott yoo.
| |
| 04:50 | too
| |
| 04:50 | Thank you.
| |
| 04:51 | <alkisg> Cheers :)
| |
| 04:51 | <Chupacabra1> But no one knows?
| |
| 04:52 | I'm gonna outlive everyone. I tried my best not to make 30.
| |
| 04:52 | <alkisg> Knows what, recent news about Jim? You could email him.... :)
| |
| 04:56 | <Chupacabra1> Just did. thanks.
