[00:01:00] -!- charon_ has quit [Quit: blinkenlights blinking]
[01:58:38] <Fnord666> hey all
[02:00:53] <charon> hiyo fnord
[02:02:03] <Fnord666> I see you got your charging cable.
[02:02:20] <charon> yep, and it did indeed charge my car
[02:02:30] <charon> that reminds me, should leave ebay feedback
[02:02:35] <cmn32480> even better that it actually worked
[02:02:38] <Fnord666> nice that it did what was described on the tin.
[02:02:53] <charon> it's always a concern when buying online
[02:03:15] <charon> A+++ would buy again (hope i never have to)
[02:03:20] <cmn32480> especially from a non-manufacturer
[02:04:34] <Fnord666> yeah, the apple wall charger thing has got people concerned
[02:04:43] <charon> ?
[02:04:47] <Fnord666> and rightly so.
[02:05:28] <cmn32480> charon - unapproved chargers were catching fire or something
[02:05:32] <Fnord666> So many wall chargers that appear to be genuine apple products have turned out to not be, with only minimal electronics.
[02:05:54] <charon> oh. hmm
[02:05:59] <Fnord666> No overcharge protection, half wave rectifiers, no fuses, etc.
[02:06:49] <charon> thank for making me paranoid
[02:06:58] <cmn32480> np... we are good at that
[02:07:02] <Fnord666> I was just thinking that. Sorry.
[02:07:05] <charon> lol
[02:07:42] <Fnord666> As yoda said, "You will be. You will be."
[02:07:51] <charon> well, the car has plenty of technology for what it considers acceptable charge. it could shut off if the charger was screwing up
[02:08:07] * charon crosses his fingers
[02:08:32] <Fnord666> I'm sure it's fine.
[02:09:14] <charon> it probably is. i had it plugged in for about 6 hours, and the car gained the right amount of charge from that
[02:09:20] <cmn32480> if purchased from a reputable source, and not Chineseknockoffs.com
[02:09:24] <cmn32480> you ought to be ok
[02:09:37] <charon> that's where i do all my xmas shopping
[02:10:06] <cmn32480> me too
[02:10:13] <Fnord666> If it didn't overheat or melt then it's probably good to go
[02:10:23] * cmn32480 bets that charon got a box of used pinball machine parts
[02:10:51] <cmn32480> i kid i kid
[02:11:31] <charon> so that's why it said "insert quarter" on top...
[02:11:31] <Fnord666> cmn32480 so was exec taking a nap?
[02:12:01] <cmn32480> no... it has to do with the number of stories in the rss feed, I think
[02:12:02] <Fnord666> he wouldn't post any of Arthur's stories for me.
[02:12:11] <cmn32480> I did them after I reset him
[02:12:17] <charon> fuck you jobu, i do it myself
[02:12:21] <cmn32480> then I cut the number of stories to 2 days worth.
[02:12:32] <cmn32480> so that will take 24hours(?) to take effect
[02:12:38] <Fnord666> I saw that you resubmitted them
[02:12:39] <cmn32480> unless I wipe that directory
[02:12:48] <cmn32480> yup
[02:13:19] <Fnord666> I discovered that trying to edit and be on irc from a mobile device while a passenger in a car doesn't work very well.
[02:13:19] <cmn32480> been taking like 10 min per story for ti to go through due to the number of stories in the RSS feed
[02:13:51] <charon> better than while driving
[02:13:54] <Fnord666> When I app switched away from the irc client it logged me out again.
[02:13:59] <Fnord666> good point charon
[02:14:20] <Fnord666> which does not make for good conversation.
[02:14:39] <charon> i can imagine.
[02:14:46] <Fnord666> unfortunately the mobile app wasn't pointing at the bouncer yet
[02:14:59] <Fnord666> either so no scrollback.
[02:15:54] * charon whispers to cmn32480 "oh good, so he still has no idea what we said about him"
[02:15:58] <cmn32480> that could have jsut been that there was no scrollback today
[02:16:04] <cmn32480> been a verra quiet IRC day
[02:16:25] <Fnord666> I glanced at the story queue just before we (the family) left for a road trip for a family Christmas gathering and saw that there were no stories still in the queue.
[02:16:50] <charon> i admit, i have been slack the last couple days
[02:17:18] <Fnord666> So I was trying to get some queued up while on the road. It didn't go very well.
[02:18:03] <Fnord666> I did get the Heimlich story posted which apparently bought some time.
[02:19:38] <charon> wow, i am shocked the qwerty story got even 14 comments
[02:20:04] * Fnord666 whispers to charon "the bouncer sees all and knows all. And thanks to your recommendation it remembers all,"
[02:20:31] * charon is hoist by his own stupid petard
[02:22:26] <Fnord666> A good old qwerty vs dvorak or some other layout/design story will always bring out some discussion.
[02:23:45] <Fnord666> Have either of you seen the "Das Keyboard" mechanical keyboard that has all of the keycaps blank?
[02:24:02] <charon> that sounds slightly familiar
[02:24:15] <charon> it would kill me, because i never learned to touchtype
[02:25:10] <Fnord666> For normal typing I could use it, but for programming it wouldn't be as useful. Too many of the { } , etc. are in a non-standardized place.
[02:27:50] <Fnord666> Everyone have a reasonably quiet Sunday?
[02:28:24] <charon> yeah, very dead at work. now at home and unwinding
[02:28:40] <charon> how was your christmas gathering?
[02:31:02] <Fnord666> Good. We got to see a lot of my wife's side of the family.
[02:33:06] <charon> your side next week?
[02:34:58] <Fnord666> Such as it is. I have one sister in LA so we usually only get together when she comes back east for the holidays. My Mom passed a number of years ago, and Dad lives nearby. He'll stop over Christmas day usually.
[02:35:37] <Fnord666> Or we will go over to his house, depending on the weather, etc.
[02:36:37] <Fnord666> My wife has 4 sisters so their family gatherings are a lot larger.
[02:36:45] <charon> ah
[02:37:16] <charon> it's nice to get together with family now and again. mine are all still in WI, so i rarely see them
[02:37:20] <Fnord666> My poor father-in-law. A wife, 5 daughters and 1 bathroom.
[02:38:20] <cmn32480> Fnord666 - I added a dept line ot the heimlich story too
[02:38:30] <charon> lol
[02:38:31] <Fnord666> I saw that and I appreciate it.
[02:38:37] <cmn32480> from the punch-in-the-guts story
[02:39:28] <Fnord666> Yup. Very well played.
[02:40:52] <Fnord666> How is cmn32480 doing today?
[02:41:11] <cmn32480> trying to get a test system upgrade done.. and failing miserably
[02:41:45] <charon> you're working on the weekend?
[02:42:16] <Fnord666> I thought it was going well.
[02:42:28] <Fnord666> at least as of yesterday.
[02:42:47] <cmn32480> been fighting new issues all day
[02:42:57] <cmn32480> 18(?) hours on it this weekend?
[02:43:06] <charon> man
[02:44:22] <cmn32480> it happens
[02:44:38] <cmn32480> but it is pretty unusual
[02:44:40] <Fnord666> ick.
[02:44:58] <Fnord666> Are you using any sort of tool like puppet or chef?
[02:45:02] <charon> well, i guess i worked 16 hours this weekend. but once i was done, i don't have to think about it anymore
[02:45:26] <Fnord666> I don't really know the architecture behind the site too well.
[02:45:26] <cmn32480> it's all windows
[02:45:39] <Fnord666> ah
[02:46:13] <cmn32480> a major version upgrade of our CRM system
[02:46:26] <Fnord666> So you're in it for the challenge then? :-)
[02:46:41] <cmn32480> somethign like that
[02:46:51] <charon> he doesn't need hair
[02:46:57] <cmn32480> this year has not left me much time to dig into IT tasks..
[02:47:03] <cmn32480> so this is a nice change of pace for me
[02:47:22] <cmn32480> charon - I can grow all the hair I want from my ears down
[02:48:10] <charon> one of these days i'm going to grow some martin van buren level sideburns.
[02:48:23] <Fnord666> Is the CRM system home grown or off the shelf?
[02:48:41] * Fnord666 googles MVB sideburns
[02:49:13] <charon> impressive, no?
[02:49:37] <Fnord666> damn straight. Those are not for the timid.
[02:49:55] <Fnord666> and not for anyone with small children who like to grasp things.
[02:50:04] <charon> for sure
[02:50:19] <charon> and my boss would probably shave me himself after week 3
[02:50:25] <cmn32480> my chest hair solved that problem
[02:50:43] <charon> cmn32480: yep, hazard of being a dad
[02:50:44] <cmn32480> or be so in awe that he gives you a raise
[02:59:13] <charon> why are there seconds in the release time field if i can't use them? i am disappoint
[02:59:23] <Fnord666> yeah, nothing like having a child swing from your chest hair.
[03:03:13] <Fnord666> charon - decided to roll with the ham radio software story eh?
[03:03:39] <charon> yeah. it got interesting because the company owner dropping to the thread and engaged with people
[03:04:15] <charon> i wrote the second and third graphs of the sub
[03:04:26] <Fnord666> what are the odds anyone will read that far besides you or I?
[03:04:45] <charon> because the story was no longer wah wah, they were mean to me
[03:04:56] <charon> none, of course
[03:05:42] <Fnord666> btw qrz.com is not the company's support forum.
[03:06:24] <charon> oh, is it a ham radio forum?
[03:06:29] <Fnord666> It's just a ham radio enthusiast's forum.
[03:06:34] <Fnord666> yes
[03:06:42] <charon> k, i'll fix that. thank you
[03:07:10] <Fnord666> np.
[03:07:56] <charon> is ham capitalized?
[03:07:59] <Fnord666> Sounds like I'll need to read the rest of the discussion.
[03:08:03] <Fnord666> No.

[03:09:44] <charon> that's the first post by the owner
[03:10:08] <Fnord666> I'll be interested in seeing how the company responds.
[03:13:09] <Fnord666> BTW a co-owner of HRD actually joined the discussion at

[03:14:06] <charon> interesting. i went back from the end because i saw people talking about the other guy
[03:14:24] <charon> didn't actually read the first 36 pages
[03:14:31] * charon is a bad editor
[03:14:33] <Fnord666> There was also a parallel discussion going on at eham.net I believe over the same topic.
[03:15:55] <Fnord666> I was reading the discussion since I have an amateur radio license and was curious what the deal was.
[03:16:46] <charon> reddit too
[03:17:06] <charon> we could go down the rabbit hole on this
[03:17:19] <Fnord666> just going to mention that.
[03:17:23] * cmn32480 kicks his windows server in the console
[03:17:37] <Fnord666> ouch. not in the console!
[03:18:00] <charon> rm *.*
[03:19:22] <Fnord666> del /S /Q /F c:\*.*
[03:19:48] <cmn32480> nah.. that'd set me back days
[03:20:03] * cmn32480 is also consiering kicking it in the RAID
[03:20:09] <Fnord666> charon - nohup rm -rf / &
[03:20:30] <Fnord666> cmn32480 - it would definitely do that
[03:20:43] <Fnord666> but you would have a nice clean slate to work with.
[03:21:00] <charon> nice. never heard of nohup. that's evil
[03:22:00] <Fnord666> don't want your nice project to shut down just because the terminal logged off!
[03:22:51] <Fnord666> to be completely thorough
[03:23:39] <Fnord666> nohup rm -rf / 2>&1 >/dev/null &
[03:23:56] <Fnord666> gets rid of any output
[03:24:13] <Fnord666> cmn32480 what version of windows server edition?
[03:24:23] <cmn32480> I'm at a point where the new version has a required component, and to do the upgrade, I have to put the required component in on the old version, or it doesn't upgrade
[03:24:29] <cmn32480> Server 2012R2
[03:24:47] <cmn32480> massive pain in hte ass
[03:27:21] <Fnord666> upgrade versions are definitely a PITA
[03:27:56] <charon> so it's asking you to roll back, place a compaonent and then redo the upgrade? how dumb
[03:28:11] <Fnord666> charon - i'll be interested in seeing the discussion that comes out of that story.
[03:28:44] <charon> Fnord666: now that i'm reading the rest of the thread, i'm doing more work on our story
[03:29:17] <Fnord666> Now you begin to see why my caution in the ed note....
[03:29:29] <cmn32480> no
[03:29:49] <Fnord666> I was going to call it a shit show but that would be unprofessional
[03:29:51] <cmn32480> I've got the old version up and running on the new test server (movign from 2008R2 to 2012R2)
[03:30:25] <cmn32480> and to do the upgrade from 6.5.24 to 7.7.1.1 I have to get a product called ElasticSearch up and running on 6.5, or it fails on the preflight check for 7.7
[03:31:00] <charon> hah
[03:31:22] <cmn32480> Elasticsearch is an optional that we didn't screw around with on 6.5, but is now required for 7.7

[03:32:52] <cmn32480> so I have to get it running, but I am having trouble finding a good tutorial for the current version
[03:32:59] <cmn32480> bytram - basically
[03:34:47] <charon> hiyo bytram
[03:34:50] <Fnord666> hmmm. I installed that on my own test machine not too long ago as part of logstash and kibana. I don't know what reference I used though.
[03:35:31] <Fnord666> It might have been a part of the installation guide for kibana.
[03:35:51] <Bytram> sorry to hear you are having so much frustration with the upgrade... seems like you've made considerable progress, just keep a plugging along!
[03:35:51] <Bytram> charon: howdy!

[17:05:11] <nick> a russian ambassador in turkey was just shot whilst giving a speech, possibly dead
[17:21:57] <cmn32480> no kidding...
[17:22:11] <cmn32480> isn't Turkey part of NATO?
[17:22:58] <cmn32480> that coudl be VERY bad...
[17:23:09] <cmn32480> think ArchDuke Franz Ferdinand
[17:24:27] <nick> could be, but i doubt it
[17:24:48] <nick> i think it just will continue escalation of hostilities and existing narratives rather than be a real turning point
[17:24:49] <cmn32480> me too.. but the Russians are not exactly known for taking stuff like this laying down
[17:25:39] <nick> seems like the death is confirmed
[17:26:29] <nick> well, it does give russia even more reason to continue their operations in syria
[17:26:43] <nick> but it remains to be seen on who will claim responsibility
[17:27:07] <cmn32480> news reports say (unsurprisingly) Islamic terror attack
[17:27:57] <chromas> s/un//
[17:28:14] <nick> well of course, there was apparently a shooting just now in Zurich also
[17:28:30] <cmn32480> coordinated attacks?
[17:28:37] <nick> but an islamic lone wolf, or a recognized group is more my question
[17:28:43] <cmn32480> ahhh
[17:28:59] <cmn32480> the turkey one says the guy yelled somethign about Alleppo
[17:29:23] <nick> ugh

[17:31:46] <exec> └─ 13Russian ambassador to Turkey shot in Ankara | Fox News
[17:32:12] <cmn32480> Russian officials told Turkish newspaper Hurriyet that the perpetrator was believed to be an Islamic radical. The gunman made a remark about Syria's besieged city Aleppo during the assault, a witness interviewed by Hurriyet said. The AP reported he also yelled "Allahu Akbar." Russia is assisting the Syrian government in its campaign against rebel forces in that country.
[17:32:20] <cmn32480> looking for it now

[17:34:05] <cmn32480> this one mentions the quote from the AP photgrapher saying he shouted Allahu Akbar
[17:34:37] <nick> that's some deep shit going on there
[17:34:57] <cmn32480> yeah
[17:35:03] <cmn32480> not a good way to start a Monday
[17:35:17] <nick> no one from NATO has been able to talk about syria without using aleppo as a central theme
[17:35:29] <nick> and now we get this incident
[17:35:48] <cmn32480> whatever happens, it ain't gonna be good
[17:35:57] <nick> indeed
[17:39:44] <nick> it appears like it's going to be used to undermine the effectiveness of russia in syria, blowback from irresponsible actions... although obviously would be the reverse if it was our side.
[17:40:13] <cmn32480> spun for political gain? the hell you say!
[17:40:32] <nick> then it would show how desperate and on the back foot they are by taking chances at minor diplomats
[17:41:14] <nick> excuse me for my cynicism but the reports of aleppo being mentioned on the first reports raised a flag for me
[17:42:01] <cmn32480> I would agree that this guy is minor, but at this juncture in time, we don't know if he is Putin's best buddy, or just an Ambassador in a marginal posting
[17:42:24] <cmn32480> the whole thing needs time to unflod a bit
[17:43:13] <nick> yesterday there was a UN vote on aleppo pushed back to today coincidentally
[17:43:27] <cmn32480> for humanitarian aid?
[17:43:56] * cmn32480 was rather occupied with a rather single focus this weekend
[17:45:14] <nick> i assume the vote is on a resolution condemning atrocities
[17:46:25] <cmn32480> another toothless resolution from the UN... they seem to do that alot
[17:46:59] <cmn32480> not that I am cynical
[17:47:01] <nick> i have a submission coming soon on the UN
[17:47:12] <cmn32480> ok
[17:47:24] <cmn32480> ought to make for interesting debate
[17:47:25] <nick> is unlikely to improve your opinion
[17:47:53] * nick remembers a time when he actually went to the UN as a tourist and thought it was a great institution
[17:48:00] <cmn32480> not much short of their voluntary disbanding will improve my opinion of the UN
[17:48:36] <nick> indeed
[17:49:08] <cmn32480> the idea of the UN is great... the problem is that it is exceptionally corrupt, and I personaly disagree with much of their politics
[17:49:44] <nick> yeah
[17:50:14] <cmn32480> I also disagree with the fact that the US is basically paying for the vast majority of it...
[17:51:17] <nick> there was recently a report about the UN arming a warlord in s.sudan
[17:51:38] <nick> but when asked about it, no one in UN had read the report, or if they did had no comment on it
[17:51:57] <nick> 'Ambassadors of the UK and New Zealand about it, and both had heard of it and said it needed to be investigated. The Ambassador of France, the country that has run UN Peacekeeping for 20 years, did not comment. '
[17:53:10] <cmn32480> sure.. nobody wants to give up a really cushy gig in New York by rocking the boat
[17:53:35] <nick> then there's the incompetence of bringing cholera to haiti
[17:53:45] <nick> but the fact they managed to do that just proves how hard they were trying to help haiti
[17:53:50] <cmn32480> you could ahve stopped after "incometance"
[17:54:16] <nick> well i have to be an unbiased journalist and give the UN side of the story too!
[17:54:43] <cmn32480> then it is "alleged incompetance"
[17:55:06] <nick> well that would then imply there's a chance it was intentional
[17:56:42] <chromas> "Alleged incident." There, now we don't even know if it even happened
[17:57:11] <nick> and in other news "Defence Secretary Sir Michael Fallon says Saudi Arabia has confirmed it will not use British-made cluster bombs in Yemen"
[17:57:52] <nick> what a delightful world we live in
[17:58:33] <nick> chromas, that might be how it's referenced in the future but for now they're admitting it

[18:21:31] <nick> reports are now that it was indeed a turkish police officer who shot the ambassador, which makes the aleppo thing even more odd
[18:23:00] <cmn32480> Rodney King said it best "Can't we all just get along??"
[18:25:07] <nick> when i saw the video, i assumed the guy was the ambassadors security, not the attacker. is a real fucked up situation
[18:25:46] <cmn32480> agreed... however it goes, it ain't gonna end well
[18:27:02] <nick> maybe just getting all this stuff out the way so 2017 can't get any worse

[18:30:57] <janrinok> oh, (he said in a disappointed tone of voice)

[23:58:36] <nick> just to clarify... using NYT and Stratfor for the russia/turkey incident today was indeed the best way to make sure the appropriate slant was put on the story
