[01:05:10] <BadCoderFinger> Hi guys
[01:05:24] <mechanicjay> yo
[01:06:47] <BadCoderFinger> Quiet today... too quiet...
[01:07:11] <BadCoderFinger> Spalls' cat must be nowhere near the keyboard.
[01:07:51] <mechanicjay> was busy earlier in the day.
[01:07:57] <mechanicjay> actually, I'm here pretty late today
[01:08:28] <LancePodstrong> hi
[01:08:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> i'm around, just tired.
[01:18:29] <BadCoderFinger> What's going on around Soylent then?
[01:20:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> watching ds9 reruns. will fix the last blocking bug tomorrow morning. should be able to roll out whenever pj is up to it after that.
[01:21:27] <BadCoderFinger> That works.
[01:21:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> mind you he's down with the flu, so could be a bit.
[01:22:35] <BadCoderFinger> The flu really sucks. I only recently started getting the shots every year.
[01:23:02] <swiss> i have always gotten them
[01:23:04] <swiss> cause assmar
[01:23:22] <LancePodstrong> i've gone back and forth
[01:23:23] <BadCoderFinger> What's assmar?
[01:23:28] <LancePodstrong> when it's a bad year i'll get one maybe
[01:24:22] <swiss> asthma
[01:24:33] <swiss> was a lord of the flies reference
[01:24:44] <BadCoderFinger> Ah, I see.
[01:24:51] <swiss> "Sucks to your assmar!"
[01:25:29] <paulej72> astham, I have a mild case of it, but since I work at a University I alsways get my flu shot/. The problem is that this years flu virus was way differnt from the vaccien they cooked up for this year.
[01:26:21] <BadCoderFinger> Yeah, that's a hazard. It's always a guess.
[01:28:08] <BadCoderFinger> It's a small risk, though, so I figure it's worth it.
[01:34:28] <arti> paule, you should regift it :D
[01:34:31] <swiss> http://myprogressbar.com
[01:35:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> damnation, dunno if i'm gonna make it till bedtime tonight
[01:35:38] <arti> fighting something?
[01:35:45] <arti> demons of stupidity?
[01:39:38] <paulej72> arti: I may have regifted it to my mom

[02:18:52] <Bytram|away> hi all!
[02:19:01] <LancePodstrong> hi
[02:19:02] <ciri> hi there LancePodstrong
[02:19:31] <Bytram|away> took a nice long nap -- feel *much* better!
[02:19:39] Bytram|away is now known as Bytram
[02:20:33] <Bytram> then again, we've had 20 inches of snow dropped on us during this current storm.
[02:20:44] * Bytram dreams of warm and tropical places
[02:20:59] <LancePodstrong> i dream of the sun
[02:21:10] <LancePodstrong> it's been sunny maybe four or five of the last thirty days
[02:21:18] * Bytram channels the beatles: Here Comes the Sun
[02:21:35] <LancePodstrong> i could deal with cold and snow a lot better if it was sunnier
[02:21:45] <BadCoderFinger> I could use a bit less winter, heh
[02:21:49] <Bytram> not much sun out right now -- snowing too hard, and it's after sunset. =)
[02:22:31] * Bytram just remembered a typo in a story; brb
[02:23:18] <LancePodstrong> godammit globe, warm faster
[02:24:29] <BadCoderFinger> Heh
[02:24:48] <Bytram> we seem to be missing a link in the Valve story
[02:25:56] <BadCoderFinger> A missing link? We'll name it Lucy!
[02:26:34] * arti chuckles
[02:26:38] <chromas> nobody noticed though
[02:27:01] <chromas> that's 'cause we don't click. skip the page and start commenting :D
[02:27:09] <chromas> s/p/m/
[02:27:09] <SedNotABot> <chromas> that's 'cause we don't click. skim the page and start commenting :D
[02:33:43] <LancePodstrong> who would rtfa, no one has time for that
[02:35:01] <Bytram> Well now, that's better!
[02:35:36] <Bytram> http://go.theregister.com
[02:35:37] <Hedonismbot> ^ 03Yahoo's! Mayer!: We'll! spin! off! $40bn! Alibaba! stake! and! pay! ZERO! tax! on! it! Ha! • The Register ( http://www.theregister.co.uk )
[02:36:01] <BadCoderFinger> Wait, Yahoo's still around?
[02:36:41] <LancePodstrong> what's up with all the exclamation points
[02:37:09] <chromas> 'cause Yahoo! has an exclamation mark in its name
[02:37:17] <BadCoderFinger> Because Yahoo's trademark has one.
[02:37:25] <chromas> although, so does excite. Or at least it used to
[02:37:59] <LancePodstrong> hahahaha
[02:38:03] <Bytram> sadly, they don't excite me any more than a bunch of Yahoo!s
[02:38:09] <Bytram> =)
[02:38:11] <BadCoderFinger> Heh
[02:40:00] <Bytram> well, that was interesting! I looked at the original submission for the Valve story looking for the source story links; inadvertantly pushed *that* one out onto the site -- so we still had the link-less story, and now mine in the queue, too!
[02:40:11] * Bytram wasn't be very economical
[02:40:38] <Bytram> copied my fixes to the original story, deleted mine, all is well.
[02:41:01] <Bytram> btw, anyone seen buzz lately?
[02:41:37] <TheMightyBuzzard> wut?
[02:41:55] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: Q: for you; if I post a comment, so now it's modded +1; then mod it spam, the mod it spam, then use the new control to mark it unspam...
[02:42:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> and it's zero
[02:42:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> yes. will be fixed in the am
[02:42:13] <Bytram> does that clear *all* of the spamming for *both* of those mods?
[02:42:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> it only clears spam mods
[02:43:01] <Bytram> so if it were spam-modded *twice*, then *both* of those are cleared when I click on the unspam control?
[02:43:23] <TheMightyBuzzard> yep
[02:43:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> if it's not spam, it's not spam
[02:44:02] <Bytram> makes sense. Just wanted to verify that was intended behavio[u]r.
[02:44:40] <Bytram> btw, the right justification thingy worked out great, and I like the "buttonization" in the text, too. Much cleaner and clearer.
[02:44:44] <Bytram> thanks a bunch!
[02:44:46] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard++
[02:44:47] <Bender> karma - themightybuzzard: 136
[02:45:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> bed for me
[02:46:00] <Bytram> For full disclosure, In this particular case, as I wanted to avoid getting a karma hit, I actually submitted a comment as AC, modded it up, and then hit it twice with a spam mod.
[02:46:06] <Bytram> sleep well!
[02:46:23] <Bytram> It's beginning to look a *lot* like winter.
[02:46:27] <Bytram> ~weather boston
[02:46:46] <Bytram> yep, crutchy's still off with his notebook.
[02:47:04] <chromas> ^weather boston
[02:47:06] <geotti_away> [Boston, Massachusetts] Light Snow. Temp is -9.3*C but feels like -17*C. WNW wind: 19.5 kph. Humidity: 77%.
[02:47:39] <Bytram> hmmm, I wonder if it knows airport codes? Let's try a lesser-known one:
[02:47:43] <Bytram> ^weather pwm
[02:47:44] <geotti_away> [PWM, Maine] Light Snow. Temp is -9*C but feels like -20*C. North wind: 44 kph. Humidity: 74%.
[02:48:32] <Bytram> hmm, has a continental flair to it -- not used to seeing USAian places with metric stats.
[02:49:30] <Bytram> !weather pwm
[02:49:42] <LancePodstrong> ^weather minneapolis
[02:49:43] <geotti_away> [Minneapolis, Minnesota] Overcast. Temp is 0.8*C but feels like 1*C. Humidity: 70%.
[02:50:30] <Bytram> usually it's Minneapolis that is america's icebox -- looks like it took a trip my way
[02:52:09] <LancePodstrong> we're enjoying the swap
[02:52:50] <Bytram> you're in the twin-cities area?
[02:53:22] <LancePodstrong> ish, about 45-60 minutes drive south from downtown st paul in the rural area
[02:53:56] <Bytram> I visited there once; wish I had had more time -- would've stopped in to see "A Prarie Home Companion"
[02:54:09] * Bytram loves the sound-effects-laden stories
[02:54:22] <LancePodstrong> hahahahaha yeah i get more than enough of my fill of that here listening to MPR
[02:54:24] <Bytram> brb
[02:54:28] <LancePodstrong> they have the only good news radio station in the area
[02:57:40] <LancePodstrong> you are in nyc?
[02:57:40] <Bytram> back
[02:58:04] <Bytram> pretty much the same, here. Commercial stations sound so, umm, "strident"
[02:58:21] * Bytram channels officer Joe Friday: "Just the facts, ma'am."
[02:58:46] <BadCoderFinger> Oh come on! It's not news unless they yell it at you!
[02:58:58] <Bytram> Shhh! Keep it down!
[02:59:26] <Bytram> My instinctive response is: "I can't hear you -- you're yelling too loud."
[02:59:54] <Bytram> if you actually had a valid point to make, there'd be no need for you to YELL it at me, right? It'd be obvious on the face of it.
[03:00:07] <LancePodstrong> apparently there are no-go zones in minneapolis that are under sharia law
[03:00:20] <Bytram> And, if not, and you cannot explain it in such a way that I can understand, then I suspect that maybe your point is not so valid after all.
[03:00:31] <LancePodstrong> according to faux news
[03:00:31] * Bytram will be sure to not go there.
[03:00:44] <LancePodstrong> wait no, they retracted that
[03:00:52] * LancePodstrong rolls eyes
[03:01:18] <Bytram> so the no-go was a no-go? Turtles all the way down!
[03:02:30] <LancePodstrong> http://www.myfoxtwincities.com
[03:02:30] <Hedonismbot> ^ 03Invitation to tour non-existent Sharia Law 'no go zones' in Minn - KMSP-TV
[03:02:42] <BadCoderFinger> Since when did facts get in the way of a news story?
[03:03:19] <Bytram> so it's not "really" there, but it is?
[03:03:41] * Bytram goes back to pondering the SN DB Schema
[03:03:56] <LancePodstrong> it's not there at all but some crazy right wing news organization claimed it was for a good story. probably because there is a large somali population in minneapoils
[03:06:23] <Bytram> "good" story? phtttht
[03:13:36] <BadCoderFinger> That's defined as "story that gets clicks."
[03:13:50] <BadCoderFinger> When advertising is the business, facts are irrelevant.
[03:21:47] <BadCoderFinger> (Man, I'm terribly jaded.)
[03:22:32] <LancePodstrong> it's the truth of the current state of affairs tho
[03:22:57] <BadCoderFinger> For the most part, yeah.
[03:25:03] <BadCoderFinger> I now have a submission nearly worthy of submitting!
[03:25:06] <BadCoderFinger> http://science.nasa.gov
[03:25:07] <Hedonismbot> ^ 03Kepler Discovers 1000th Exoplanet - NASA Science
[03:26:10] <BadCoderFinger> So, 8 earth-like planets in the habitable zone... 0.8%
[03:26:41] <BadCoderFinger> I'm thinking the Drake equation might be getting a variable filled in soon!
[03:27:53] <LancePodstrong> :)
[03:35:04] <Bytram> BadCoderFinger: yes, but there's some observation bias; as Kepler was only running for a "short" while, it could only "see" planets with short-period orbits; outer planets would take longer to orbit and would provide insufficient data points to identify them.
[03:35:04] <JamesNZ> zukitwo++
[03:35:04] <Bender> karma - zukitwo: 1
[03:35:32] <Bytram> also, they tended to detect larger planets over small ones (greater blocking of light from host star).
[03:36:05] <Bytram> still, 1K planets! I remember when it was still a question whether or not other stars *had* any planets.
[03:36:07] <Bytram> science++
[03:36:07] <Bender> karma - science: 4
[03:36:58] <BadCoderFinger> Bytram: Yeah, I know. But I continue to hope for the best.
[03:38:13] <Bytram> what I wonder about is why was Kepler targeting stars that were so far away? Seems it would make sense to have surveyed nearer-to-us stars so we would have a better chance of earth-based follow-up observations.
[03:38:24] <BadCoderFinger> Kepler is my astronomic hero, and having the observing platform named after him fail so early was a huge disappointment.
[03:38:27] <Bytram> e.g. Using Keck scopes in Hawaii
[03:39:05] <Bytram> it's not entirely dead yet; they've found a way to still get some more data from it. They just lost some of the aiming ability.
[03:39:35] <Bytram> It's still capable of looking, they lost one degree of freedom in pointing ability.
[03:39:44] <Bytram> that is, IIRC from what I'd read.
[03:39:54] <BadCoderFinger> Yep, pointed at a small patch of sky and it's still functioning.
[03:40:22] <Bytram> any idea of why it was pointed at stars that were so far away?
[03:40:51] <BadCoderFinger> I think it's just the way it was pointed when it failed, but I'm not sure.
[03:41:12] <Bytram> no, I mean even before that.
[03:41:39] <Bytram> I never saw anything that explained their rationale for where they pointed it in the first place.
[03:41:44] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Oh Noes! Millennials About to Outnumber Baby Boomers - http://sylnt.us - time-they-are-a-changin
[03:42:03] <Bytram> and the first thing that crossed my mind when I heard the early reports was: "Why are they looking so far away?"
[03:43:20] <Bytram> they could have pointed it at Alpha Centauri; then we could have followed up with Hubble and Keck, and the now-being-deployed larger 'scopes to take follow-up observations.
[03:43:50] <Bytram> ok, so there'd be a whole lot of motion required to slew around to point at other targets, I understand that.
[03:44:15] <Bytram> Still, there could have been a place that they could have pointed it that included a number of nearer-by stars. Right?
[03:45:08] <BadCoderFinger> Yeah. Closer stars are easier to measure the wobble, so maybe they pointed it at stars that hadn't been measured by their wobble.
[03:46:17] <Bytram> wobble - for some reason I just love the sound of that word
[03:46:41] <BadCoderFinger> Heh!
[03:46:43] <Bytram> sounds like something you'd here from a laryngetic turkey
[03:47:16] <Bytram> laryngitic?
[03:47:26] <Bytram> a turkey with laryngitis.
[03:47:31] <Bytram> ugh. words!
[03:48:26] * Bytram now pictures a turkey that is trying to walk around after having too many beers -- Wobble! Wobble!
[03:48:26] <Bytram> =)
[03:48:49] <Konomi> Bytram: that code last night was about my irc bot I'm slowly hacking away on
[03:49:04] <BadCoderFinger> Turkey with a cold? Wobble SNEEZE Wobble
[03:49:06] <Bytram> ahhhh. Good for you!
[03:49:13] <Bytram> BadCoderFinger: lol!
[03:49:44] * Bytram goes to review another story
[03:49:58] <Konomi> Millennials outnumbering baby boomers
[03:50:01] <Konomi> about fing time
[03:50:32] <BadCoderFinger> Holy potato skins! 135MB at 15KB/sec? Ugh!
[03:50:55] <BadCoderFinger> Oh no! Millenials! And some can vote!
[03:51:17] <Konomi> does that mean baby boomers have died off enough to become an average demographic?
[03:51:28] <Bytram> not yet.
[03:51:37] <Konomi> the problem with boomers was not that they are boomers
[03:51:53] <LancePodstrong> no konomi, they still have far more accumulated wealth than the millenials
[03:52:21] <Konomi> but because there's more of them than other age groups and they set the agenda because of their voting block size
[03:52:29] * Bytram reviews another story for signoff
[03:53:22] <Bytram> Konomi: and they have $$$ to influence who runs, and ultimately attains, public office.
[03:53:38] <Konomi> true
[03:54:07] <BadCoderFinger> I don't really think individuals, even most of the wealthy ones, have much influence. The corporations pretty much own the vote.
[03:54:51] <Bytram> tell that to the Koch brothers -- they're raising $889 *Million* for the 2016 election
[03:55:04] <BadCoderFinger> They're certainly exceptions.
[03:55:15] <Konomi> I'm not a usa'ian though
[03:55:30] <Bytram> nod nod, and you make a valid point, as well... didn't mean to minimize it.
[03:55:51] <Bytram> companies are people, too, nowadays.
[03:55:58] <Konomi> no offense was taking and I didn't think you were ;p
[03:56:06] <Konomi> I definitly agree for the usa though
[03:56:41] <BadCoderFinger> Bytram: No, my point is that wealth alone doesn't do it.
[03:57:16] <BadCoderFinger> And there are some obscenely wealthy people that don't get that involved in politics.
[03:57:32] <Bytram> I agree that it is neither necessary nor sufficient, but it does have some ability to dramatically affect the outcome.
[03:57:45] <BadCoderFinger> But for some, I guess the attraction is too much to resist.
[03:57:56] <Bytram> even if the selected candidate does not attain office, the points that were espoused during the election process gain mind share.
[03:58:20] <Bytram> think strategy over tactics.
[03:58:36] <BadCoderFinger> We've pretty much reached the point that the obscenely rich have so much that they can only get more power by gaming the system.
[03:58:51] <Bytram> tactics being getting a selected politician into office; strategy being getting certain interests codified into law.
[03:59:12] <BadCoderFinger> Yeah, we have the best government ever lobbied for!
[03:59:42] <Bytram> price of liberty has gone up a lot in recent years, eh?
[04:00:01] <BadCoderFinger> Liberty? Even with a fire sale, I can't afford it, heh!
[04:00:13] <Bytram> lol
[04:00:14] <ciri> lol damn!
[04:00:35] <BadCoderFinger> Dangit ciri, you can't vote!
[04:01:20] <Bytram> it would be interesting to see a connections graph of the top 1% and their connections with each other.
[04:01:30] <Bytram> hmm, brb
[04:01:52] <BadCoderFinger> Six degrees of the uber-wealthy? That could be a TV show!
[04:02:50] <BadCoderFinger> Panem et circenses. Except we're out of panem.
[04:03:05] <Bytram> If you have not already read this, then I cannot too strongly suggest your doing so: http://kieranhealy.org
[04:03:05] <Hedonismbot> ^ 03Using Metadata to find Paul Revere
[04:03:24] <BadCoderFinger> Heh, yeah, I read that.
[04:03:29] <Bytram> meta data *is* dta
[04:03:33] <Bytram> s/dta/data/
[04:03:33] <SedNotABot> <Bytram> meta data *is* data
[04:03:50] <Bytram> that was a real eye-opener for me.
[04:04:27] <Bytram> I have some pretty good DB skills and can grep patterns like nobody's business, but I'm an absolute child compared to what those folks could do.
[04:05:44] <BadCoderFinger> Pattern matching is all it takes.
[04:05:57] <BadCoderFinger> "Anonymized" data almost never is.
[04:06:42] <Bytram> you got that right! De-anonymization can be trivially easy in many cases.
[04:06:53] <Bytram> here's a terribly salient line from that article:
[04:06:55] <Bytram> The foundational papers in this new science of social networke analysis, in fact, are almost all about what you can tell about people and their social lives based on metadata only, without much reference to the actual content of what they say.
[04:08:12] <LancePodstrong> can i just use the title from the article for a title when submitting a story?
[04:08:33] <BadCoderFinger> It's a shame we can't have a government that wants to protect its existence by being the best representative of the citizens, instead they see us as pitchfork armed plebians waging war against the over-entitled.
[04:09:04] <Bytram> LancePodstrong: sure! no problem!
[04:09:39] <Bytram> BadCoderFinger: *earn* their position -- don't *take* it from us
[04:10:19] <BadCoderFinger> Exactly.
[04:10:57] <LancePodstrong> agreed
[04:11:09] <LancePodstrong> you wouldn't think it would be that hard, but i don't think there's a country in the world like that
[04:11:15] <LancePodstrong> maybe a few here or there we don't know about
[04:11:22] <BadCoderFinger> No, the Magna Carta is long dead.
[04:11:44] <LancePodstrong> power corrupts, yada yada
[04:11:56] <LancePodstrong> :(
[04:12:23] <BadCoderFinger> "Power corrupts, absolute power is the most fun."

[04:21:15] <LancePodstrong> i just returned to minnesota from about a year and a half in arizona
[04:21:23] <LancePodstrong> i'm missing it this time of year
[04:21:31] <BadCoderFinger> I'll bet!
[04:21:42] <Bytram> yeah, that's a tough transition
[04:21:49] <BadCoderFinger> As much as I love Denver, the winters usually suck here.
[04:22:05] <LancePodstrong> still it's no northern tier
[04:22:34] <Bytram> question for you all: seen any good places on the net with collections of [previews of] super bowl ads?
[04:22:43] <BadCoderFinger> Usually the jetstream just dips over us, bringing Canadian cold air. Dang Canadians!
[04:24:33] <LancePodstrong> you in denver merely experience the canadian air occasionally. in minnesota, we were born in it, molded by it. i didn't see a warm climate until i was a man, by then it was nothing to me but an oven
[04:25:29] <BadCoderFinger> Heh!
[04:26:05] <BadCoderFinger> Six feet of snow to school, uphill both ways, that sort of thing?
[04:26:19] <LancePodstrong> oh yah you betcha, doncha know
[04:26:56] <Bytram> without exageration, we had a snow storm last winter that dropped 30-inches on us. Yes, in just one storm.
[04:27:09] <BadCoderFinger> Coldest winter I ever endured was in Baltimore. It wasn't that cold, but damp that got in your bones.
[04:27:32] <Bytram> cold AND damp? yeah, that's nasty!
[04:27:37] <BadCoderFinger> Heh, in 2005 we got 5 feet of snow.
[04:27:38] <LancePodstrong> that kind of stuff is actually pretty rare for us. more than 6" of snow is kind of a big deal here. it's just that it comes over and over again in bits and pieces that never melt and it accumulates
[04:28:07] <LancePodstrong> need to be closer to a moisture source to really get dumped on like that
[04:28:11] <LancePodstrong> or have orographic uplift
[04:28:18] <Bytram> at least the current storm has the whispy 'dry' flakes... 'powder'. none of that sticky glommy stuff we usually get.
[04:28:36] <BadCoderFinger> Yeah, I like it when it can blow off the road by itself.
[04:28:56] <LancePodstrong> definitely easier to work with when it's cold dry snow
[04:29:00] * Bytram does not like it when his car goes along with it.
[04:29:15] <LancePodstrong> i lived in rapid city south dakota for a few years and teh weather there was batshit insane
[04:29:37] <BadCoderFinger> Holy crap, yeah!
[04:29:42] <Bytram> ^weather presque isle
[04:29:42] <BadCoderFinger> That place is awful.
[04:29:43] <geotti_away> [Presque Isle, Maine] Overcast. Temp is -13.9*C but feels like -20*C. NW wind: 9.7 kph. Humidity: 81%.
[04:29:54] <LancePodstrong> on year in may we got three feet of snow in a blizzard after it had been 70 degrees the day before
[04:30:00] <Bytram> ^weather rapid city
[04:30:01] <geotti_away> [Rapid City, South Dakota] Partly Cloudy. Temp is 8.7*C but feels like 9*C.
[04:30:07] <LancePodstrong> and they didn't bother plowing it because it was 60 degrees the day after and melted pretty quickly
[04:30:31] <Bytram> that *is* strange! *I* never saw anything like that
[04:31:12] <Bytram> afk
[04:31:15] <LancePodstrong> apparently that's routine. you get that at least once every spring, maybe not 3 feet, but you get big blizzards followed by warm weather

[08:54:09] <crutchy> or maybe i figured out how to open it and double-click freenode
[08:54:30] <chromas> "cb811792@gateway/web/freenode/"
[08:54:33] <crutchy> i used to use the web client on xlefay's server yeah
[08:54:37] <crutchy> for months
[08:54:47] <chromas> now you're a big boy™
[08:54:59] <crutchy> was there a web client for altslashdot?
[08:55:09] <chromas> for freenode
[08:55:16] <crutchy> lol my brain has ejected all memory from that time :d
[08:55:26] <chromas> maybe someone left a link on betadot and you clicked
[08:55:48] <crutchy> fiik. maybe :p
[08:55:54] <chromas> php made you forget
[08:56:05] <crutchy> no doubt
[08:56:18] <chromas> it occupies your memories
[08:56:34] <crutchy> now i just think in infinite loops
[08:58:06] <chromas> we should push a new trend. See how many hipsters we can get to write everything in one-shot loop blocks
[08:58:22] <chromas> "it optimizes faster than without the loop"
[08:59:06] <crutchy> while ($i=$reckon;$i<=count($youre);$i++) { $right="chromas"; }

[09:31:29] <chromas> :D
[09:31:42] <crutchy> most steels are similar :d
[09:32:14] <crutchy> they prolly vary +/- 20 kg/m^3
[09:33:00] <crutchy> recently i was designing a support ring in a kiln to hold up bricks weighing 3 tonnes peer cubic meter
[09:33:20] <crutchy> i'd hate to be the poor bastard moving them around

[11:21:48] <chromas> Reminds me of those long distance ads
[11:22:31] <chromas> call 10-321 and several variants. Then they added an extra 10 for some reason
[11:29:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> i was thinking it looked like binary

[11:37:38] <chromas> Seeing a bit of activity in lxqt, which is supposed to replace lxde
[11:38:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> FU it is. my cold dead hands...
[11:38:27] <chromas> You don't like qt?
[11:38:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> newp
[11:38:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> not since it was still trolltech
[11:39:09] <chromas> The whole thing built for me in a couple minutes, so that's decent at least
[11:39:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> nod nod. lxqt has merit over kde most certainly but qt is still not my friend.
[11:39:44] <chromas> Roll up your sleeves, we may have to fork lxde
[11:40:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, i just won't update it
[11:40:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> or i'll switch to proper openbox and just quit using the lxde utils once they switch to qt
[11:42:36] <chromas> There's a couple stand-alone panel packages in the aur of that's what you're after
[11:46:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah. i'm not married to lxde. i could switch to mostly xfce utils and not notice much change cept the terminal.

[11:53:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh, looks like they're not stopping development of the gtk version anyway
[11:53:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> man we got desktop neutrality for the most part. i got an unholy mixture of mostly gtk stuff with a few qt apps thrown in cause they're functionally better.
[11:54:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> also got a mix of mate, lxde, and xfce going on
[11:55:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> lot of extra libs but it ain't like drive space is precious lately.
[11:57:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> hell, i even have one kde app on account of nobody has built a disk burning program worth a shit for gtk.

[23:39:37] <mythterj> Whoa, 503s on soylentnews.org, was that planned to be rebooted too?
[23:43:18] <paulej72> not planned but rebooting the main servers as well.
[23:58:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> paulej72, how we doing?
[23:58:30] <paulej72> up and running now.
[23:58:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> good good, reboot worked?
[23:59:07] <paulej72> servers except oxygen have been updated to latest and rebooted to make sure new kernels are running
[23:59:20] <paulej72> fuck no
[23:59:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> still no access to oxygen?
[23:59:52] <paulej72> there are too many things that do not have startup scripts and will not run after a reboot.
[23:59:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> ewww
