[01:05:05] <Bytram> chromas++ thanks for the sleuthing!
[01:05:05] <Bender> karma - chromas: 67
[01:06:31] <Bytram> ~tell janrinok thanks for the sleuthing! I agree with your assessment on the story -- lacks sufficient supporting evidence. If nothing else, I would expect by now there to be a CVE number assigned to it were there actually something to the report.
[01:20:17] <chromas> To quote the incredibly wise words of Nute Gunray, "No need to report that to him until we have something to report!"
[01:20:34] <chromas> Lucas was a genius
[01:20:44] <Bytram> then what happened?
[01:21:00] <chromas> Probably a wipe transition
[01:21:10] <Bytram> if we *was* a genius, what is he now?

[12:14:52] <janrinok> Bytram !!!]
[12:15:05] <Bytram> janrinok: !!
[12:15:21] <janrinok> Having a well-deserved day off?
[12:15:27] <Bytram> So good to 'see' you
[12:15:30] <Bytram> nope
[12:15:32] <janrinok> ditto
[12:15:39] <janrinok> working again?
[12:15:54] <Bytram> I work retail, so straight through the weekend
[12:16:00] <Bytram> had thursday off.
[12:16:09] <janrinok> We don't have shops open on a Sunday!
[12:16:24] <Bytram> next day off will be Wednesday
[12:16:31] <janrinok> euhh
[12:16:44] <Bytram> only 6-hhours long shift today
[12:16:48] <Bytram> speaking of the weekend
[12:17:00] <Bytram> I realze SN is an international community, but
[12:17:08] <Bytram> was wondering about your thoughts of maintaining
[12:17:18] <Bytram> weekend story spacing through monday,. too
[12:17:27] <janrinok> any particular reason?
[12:17:28] <Bytram> give the eds a bit of a break
[12:17:37] <Bytram> is a holiday in the states
[12:17:48] <Bytram> "Memorial Day"
[12:17:55] <Bytram> remembrance of the fallen military
[12:18:08] <Bytram> also, the de facto start of summer in the states
[12:18:16] <janrinok> Understand, your call.
[12:18:27] <Bytram> nod nod
[12:18:31] <janrinok> might need to put a short story out to explain it
[12:18:32] <Bytram> any thoughts aye or nay?
[12:18:43] <Bytram> one thing i have noticed
[12:18:54] <janrinok> otherwise the RoW will not understand what is happening
[12:18:55] <Bytram> story selections are a bit thinner than usual
[12:19:13] <Bytram> I can put up a quick meta story
[12:19:18] <janrinok> I've got plenty from Arthur but can hold them anyway
[12:19:32] <janrinok> RoW - Rest of the World
[12:19:38] <Bytram> oh, I just pushed a story into the sub queue
[12:19:42] <Bytram> nod nod
[12:19:46] <Bytram> right of way
[12:19:51] <Bytram> or is that
[12:19:54] <janrinok> seen
[12:19:56] <Bytram> write of weigh?
[12:20:02] <Bytram> ;)
[12:20:10] <Bytram> kewel
[12:21:00] <Bytram> I've heard over the years a preference that we do NOT push out stories just to fill slots; quality over quantity.
[12:21:56] <janrinok> I'm happy to do what I can for tomorrow, have we got any other non-US eds active?
[12:23:06] <Bytram> dunno, just woke up less than an hour ago.
[12:23:13] <Bytram> updated begometer
[12:23:17] <janrinok> By the way, are you our IRC admin at present?
[12:23:19] <Bytram> read backsscrool
[12:23:22] <Bytram> subbed a story
[12:23:30] <Bytram> nah, that would still be Deucalion

[12:23:46] <Bytram> I have more than peon level privs in case the world goes sideways
[12:23:55] <Bytram> so soemkone else can guide me through thigns

[12:24:19] <janrinok> no*
[12:24:27] <Bytram> nod nod
[12:24:36] <Bytram> is there something I might be able to help you with?
[12:24:53] <janrinok> I just need a new password for ZNC
[12:25:09] <Bytram> hrrrm
[12:25:19] <janrinok> I'm on a new distro so thought I would try to set it up again
[12:25:30] <Bytram> ahhh
[12:25:43] <Bytram> no idea if this helps, but I saved away this link: https://irc.soylentnews.org:60000
[12:25:46] <exec> └─ 13SoylentNews Web IRC (Iris)
[12:25:57] <Bytram> with descriptioN; ZNC Configuration
[12:26:08] <janrinok> yeah I've read that. But my old ZNC password does not work
[12:26:14] <Bytram> wait... there's some stuff on the site wiki...
[12:26:17] <Bytram> oh
[12:26:21] <janrinok> ... or I wrote down the wrong thing
[12:27:11] <Bytram> lol
[12:27:23] <Bytram> I have summoned him with your request
[12:27:36] <janrinok> I'm giving Fedora an extended try - just to update myself with the RH way of doing things as opposed to the Debian/Ubuntu way
[12:28:35] <Bytram> is why, I think, that I tend to stick to userland type stuff... more consistency
[12:28:39] <Bytram> good luck to you
[12:29:08] <janrinok> understood. It pays to try to keep my grey matter working
[12:29:22] <Bytram> no matter what
[12:29:24] <Bytram> ;)
[12:29:35] <janrinok> too true, too true!

[12:30:14] <upstart> https://en.wikipedia.org - Labor Day - Wikipedia
[12:31:30] <janrinok> are to trying to decide which holiday you are going to celebrate tomorrow?
[12:31:43] <Bytram> lack-of-sleep day
[12:31:51] <janrinok> That's two you have searched for so far
[12:32:09] <Bytram> marking the 'end points' of the de facto summer in the USA
[12:32:46] <janrinok> we tend to use the calendar. It saves having an internet connection
[12:33:03] <janrinok> and the weather doesn't make it predictable enough
[12:33:30] <Bytram> hence the 'de facto'
[12:33:39] <janrinok> understood
[12:34:14] <Bytram> 3-day weekends serve to mark points where one could, for example, head to their summer camp and get it prepared for the summer, and at the other end, wrap things up in preparation for winter
[12:34:20] <janrinok> If I was back in the UK I would say in would be judged by how much rain was falling. There is always some, of couirse
[12:34:52] <janrinok> Here in France we sit outside
[12:34:59] <Bytram> you've been to the midlands, too>
[12:35:08] <Bytram> s/>/\?/
[12:35:10] <exec> <Bytram> you've been to the midlands, too?
[12:35:24] <janrinok> I was born in Manchester where it is said children are born with web feet
[12:36:02] <Bytram> :chuckles:
[12:36:09] <janrinok> You look out of the window. If you can see the house opposite it is going to rain, if you can't, it is already raining
[12:36:21] <Bytram> tautology
[12:36:42] <Bytram> or, if imbued to a youngster: tot-ology
[12:36:48] <janrinok> very good
[12:40:48] <janrinok> Just posted a story by Ari - not about the alt-right (although he did try to sneak an alt-right comment through in the Dept field....)
[12:41:00] <Bytram> lol
[12:41:10] <janrinok> can't criticise him for trying though
[12:41:11] <Bytram> I noticed his new .sig
[12:42:53] <janrinok> yep, he's had it for a week or two now. Made me chuckle when I first saw it. But there are several other sigs that even things up by commenting about Ari too
