[08:52:56] <Bytram> cmn32480: when you get a chance... seems that exec has gone napping again and needs a restart.
[08:53:38] <Hephaestus> You should totally give chromas shell access to exec's box
[08:54:16] <janrinok> is cmn32480 awake yet?
[08:56:01] <chromas> probably about 5 in his timezone I think
[08:56:34] <Bytram> yes, and in mine, too.
[08:57:36] <Bytram> IIRC, it lives on one of his work servers. Used to live on a box he had at home, but had trouble with uptime, there.
[08:57:42] <janrinok> Bytram, as Kaa said in the Jungle Book, 'go to sleeeeep, go to sleeeeeeep'
[08:57:50] <Bytram> Maybe he needs a cron job to restart it each day?
[08:57:55] <Bytram> lol
[08:59:27] * Bytram was so knackered last night that when I got home from work, I grabbed a quick bite to eat and seeing as how you guys had the story queue in good shape (YAY! THANK YOU!) went straight to bed... and slept something like 7 hours straight! (Normally, I can get 3-4 hours in a row at best.)
[08:59:39] <janrinok> He makes his work's servers use every CPU cycle - what with bots, FaH, and possible a bit of work thrown in there as well
[09:00:00] <Bytram> I work the late shift tonight and the early shift tomorrow, so can't hang around here too long this morning
[09:00:24] <janrinok> Bytram, good to hear. I got about 6 hours but I still didn't want to wake up this morning...
[09:00:39] <Bytram> FaH is on his home box... he did a huge upgrade of his GPU a couple(?) years back and contributed its spare cycles to the cause
[09:00:46] <Bytram> =folding-rank
[09:00:47] <upstart> 225
[09:01:02] <Bytram> good for you!
[09:01:06] <Bytram> sleep, that is
[09:01:23] <janrinok> biab - got to make fruit salads for the next 4 days...
[09:01:26] <Bytram> noticed we had some subscription... gonna update the beg-o-meter... biab
[09:02:16] <chromas> for next april 1, the meter should have an animated gif of a revolving coin
[09:02:36] <chromas> maybe a soycoin
[09:02:47] <Bytram> FatPhil: So, which link in https://soylentnews.org are you trying to fix?
[09:02:49] <upstart> ^ 03Brydge Sues Kickstarter for Selling iPad Keyboard It Claims is a Clone - SoylentNews ( https://soylentnews.org )
[09:05:35] <Bytram> Beg-o-meter updated; we are now at over 50% of our funding goal for this half of the (calendar) year
[09:06:37] <Bytram> I'm guessing he had trouble with this link? http://patft.uspto.gov
[09:06:39] <upstart> ^ 03United States Patent: 9069527
[09:07:16] <Bytram> That formatting looks like it should work okay
[09:09:18] <Bytram> yep, worked for me.

[10:07:10] * Bytram just accidentally shutdown his laptop. :P
[10:08:07] * Bytram is now back up and running, well the laptop is... *I* am going back to bed as it is still an hour or so until sunrise and I have a clopen tonight into tomorrow.
[10:08:12] <Bytram> hmmm

[10:08:44] <upstart> https://www.urbandictionary.com - clopen - Urban Dictionary
[10:09:35] <Bytram> yep, that's the one.
[10:10:06] <chromas> yeah. you can't open until you close
[10:10:16] <chromas> that's why you need to go to bed—so you can get up
[10:10:24] <Bytram> well, that definition is... close enough
[10:10:54] <chromas> clop enuff
[10:11:35] * Bytram looks for some coconuts to make clip-clop noises

[10:14:30] <Bytram> ^^^ "This site DOES NOT accept self-promoting stories for commercial enterprises."
[10:15:51] <Bytram> =declined
[10:15:51] <upstart> Thanks for submitting this story. It appears that no editor has yet selected this story to be run. At least a week has passed since the story was submitted, and if an editor was going to have selected it, they would likely have done so by now. It has, therefore, been removed from the submission queue.
[10:16:15] <chromas> maybe it should be =expired
[10:16:25] <Bytram> I like that!
[10:16:31] <chromas> or =declined reason=expired
[10:16:34] <Bytram> hmmm
[10:16:40] <Bytram> =story with arguments?
[10:16:41] <chromas> something unnecessarily long
[10:16:48] <Bytram> =story expired
[10:16:54] <chromas> no reason there can't be a bunch of ones though
[10:16:55] <Bytram> =story commercial
[10:17:09] <chromas> =expired, =commercial, =no
[10:17:22] <Bytram> just remember "=story" to know where all ofthe choices are, isntead of remembering a buncha all different commands"
[10:17:36] <chromas> or add some buttons to the rehash interface
[10:19:39] <chromas> Don't forget to sleep. All this stuff'll still be here when you get up. I pinky promise

[10:29:01] <carny> those bloomberg reporters got a lot of crap from the whole industry about their report about this
[10:29:45] <carny> but anybody with half a clue about security already knows its possible to do exactly what they said
[10:31:04] <Bytram> carny: yes, but they claimed it *had* *been* *done* and could not corroborate their claim.
[10:31:33] <Bytram> from what I've seen, they got what they deserved.
[10:37:49] <chromas> wasn't it already news years ago that feds were intercepting hardware and installing backdoors?
[10:38:19] <chromas> maybe it was only software back doors
[15:31:35] <Bytram> yes, it was... IIRC it was wrt routers from... cisco(?)
