[00:12:10] <Fnord666> Howdy all!
[00:13:58] <Bytram> howdy
[00:14:30] <Fnord666> How's it going?
[00:14:44] <Bytram> laboriously...
[00:14:48] * Bytram is tired
[00:15:12] <Bytram> can't thank you enough for all the stories you've pushed out lately!
[00:15:19] <Fnord666> np
[00:15:37] <Bytram> in under 12 hours, I'm supposed to be back at work again.
[00:15:42] <Fnord666> ugh
[00:15:46] <Fnord666> how long today?
[00:15:58] <Bytram> earlier start times means shorter nighttimes
[00:16:31] <Fnord666> definitely
[00:17:06] <Bytram> kept it to just the scheduled 8-5, but ran into traffic on way home from work (accident on interstate) so a 15 minute commute took me 45 minutes
[00:17:34] <Fnord666> that's no fun, especially on a Friday
[00:17:40] <Bytram> 'zactly

[00:18:25] <Bytram> congrats on your imminent, if not already attained, 4,100th story
[00:19:13] <Fnord666> I wanted to say thank you also for the stories you and Chromas have been posting! Greatly appreciated!
[00:19:24] <Bytram> teamwork++
[00:19:24] <Bender> karma - teamwork: 211
[00:20:10] <Fnord666> You are on the cusp of a rather impressive story achievement also
[00:20:20] <Fnord666> teamwork++
[00:20:20] <Bender> karma - teamwork: 212
[00:20:22] <Bytram> yes, I noticed he pushed out 4 stories for this afternoon as I could only manage to push out a couple before heading to work this morning
[00:20:52] <Bytram> yes, my hope is to reach it before year's end
[00:22:30] <Fnord666> I switched to weekend spacing for stories with the Vim story
[00:25:51] <Bytram> thanks
[00:26:41] <Bytram> yeah, I guess 23:48 *is* close enough to midnight to start w/e spacing with that story
[00:27:06] <Bytram> brb
[00:30:39] <Fnord666> moving my conflicting story from the next time slot
[00:30:55] <Bytram> I already moved mine
[00:31:05] <Bytram> Fnord666: look again
[00:31:48] <Fnord666> well damn it.
[00:31:49] <Fnord666> lol
[00:31:55] <Fnord666> ok i'll move mine back
[00:32:00] <Bytram> LOL!
[00:32:41] <Fnord666> yup
[00:32:45] <Fnord666> all better now
[00:32:59] * Bytram checks
[00:33:05] * Bytram agrees
[00:33:10] <Bytram> =)
[00:34:27] <Fnord666> " FBI Recommends Securing Your Smart TVs and IoT Devices " - no shit, really?
[00:34:55] <Fnord666> on the next episode of the Mr Obvious show....
[00:34:56] <Bytram> and what they recommend be done is WAY beyond joe/jane sixpack
[00:35:57] <Fnord666> None of it will help when so much of that stuff is never going to receive a single security update
[00:36:24] <Bytram> nod nod
[00:36:44] <Fnord666> then again this is the next chapter in the unsecured wireless router story
[00:37:18] <Fnord666> companies set these things up so that installation and configuration is designed to go smoothly and without calls to customer service
[00:37:54] <Fnord666> if that means skipping a few things like locking down a wireless router, oh well
[00:38:22] <Bytram> much to the lament of script kiddies everywhere <sarcasm>
[00:38:36] <Fnord666> lol
[00:41:16] <Fnord666> biab
[00:42:34] <Bytram> k
[00:45:22] <Bytram> ditto
[00:46:43] <Fnord666> back. Needed a mug of tea
[00:52:46] <Bytram> back. emptied clothes dryer
[00:55:09] <Fnord666> how did the online shopping story end up posted twice?
[00:55:44] <Fnord666> 09:13 and 13:56?
[00:55:57] <Fnord666> did it not disappear from the submissions list?
[00:56:31] <chromas> Put them next to each other and see if anyone notices
[00:56:53] <Fnord666> :)
[00:57:12] <Bytram> Fnord666: we both picked and pushed out the same story; I've deleted my copy
[00:57:14] <Fnord666> evening Chromas
[00:57:52] <chromas> g'day
[00:57:58] <Fnord666> eh, no harm done
[00:57:59] <chromas> Do a merge :D
[01:13:31] <Fnord666> chromas - for upstart submissions is there a parameter to tell it what paragraph to start with?
[01:14:13] <Fnord666> Looking at the "Your Internet Provider Likely Juiced Its Official Speed Scores" story and the copied text starts several paragraphs in
[01:16:07] <Bytram> that front matter text was prolly specified differently than the rest of the text in the article.
[01:16:32] <Bytram> it's also something like 400 paragraphs long
[01:18:04] <chromas> A lot of the text is also from their weird little 'diagrams' in the Sandwich Bandwidth Test section
[01:18:16] <chromas> No command; the bot just needs some tweakin'
[01:18:29] <chromas> Maybe no paragraphs under a threshold length
[01:19:11] <Bytram> I'd prefer that they *all* be included,
[01:19:49] <chromas> Sounds like extra work for the editors
[01:19:56] <chromas> >:)
[01:20:34] <Bytram> versus checking the original to see if anything was out?
[01:21:24] <Bytram> I've got an extra early work day tomorrow, so am hitting the sack early.
[01:21:40] <Bytram> Have a great night everybody!
[01:23:51] <chromas> The section the bot pasted is class="paywall" heh
