[23:59:07] <paulej72> servers except oxygen have been updated to latest and rebooted to make sure new kernels are running

[23:58:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> paulej72, how we doing?
[23:43:18] <paulej72> not planned but rebooting the main servers as well.

[21:13:24] <Wigglewam> dont do it man.

[21:07:56] <crutchy> that would be a feat, since i'm not an editor
[21:07:45] <JamesNZ> No no no, it was all crutchy!
[21:07:44] <Wigglewam> it was the last line of the summary.
[21:07:37] <Wigglewam> naw, you editorialized.
[21:07:29] <crutchy> i just provided the link
[21:07:12] <crutchy> not mine

[21:04:19] <crutchy> i prefer to air my dirty laundry in here :d
[21:04:07] <crutchy> the aussie hacking thing was an automated submission with a one-liner from meta content. shitty submission so i can understand the need for some editing, but the ad lib political stuff isn't really me
[21:02:53] <JamesNZ> LOL.
[21:02:48] <crutchy> hmm. maybe i should submit as 'poutine' :D
[21:02:32] <crutchy> true :p
[21:02:21] <JamesNZ> Not really. Gotta have someone to lambast :D
[21:02:13] <crutchy> gotta tweak scripty anyway. maybe i'll just submit under exec's nick (or AC, or joe bloggs or summin)
[21:01:26] <crutchy> does anyone else feel a bit uncomfortable about submissions being edited with changes going out under your name?
[21:00:20] <crutchy> i guess it does stimulate discussion though
[21:00:07] <crutchy> dunno where that came from
[20:59:58] <crutchy> "So next time a western nation gets hacked perhaps it is because we started it......"
[20:59:51] <crutchy> hmm. dunno if i like the idea of TFS going under my username with a political statement under it

[20:19:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> okay, i apparently felt a lot worse than i thought. just had a six hour nap and i think i could manage a few more.
[20:10:50] <crutchy> though not sayin security updates aren't important. for many theres prolly no reason they shouldn't be automatic
[20:07:07] <crutchy> re: ghost exploit. from linked article i get the sense that there is gunna be a lot of propaganda and raving lunacy about a bug that likely won't affect a lot of linux users/servers. it might even distract the systemd haters. the storm is brewing :p

[12:04:03] <TheMightyBuzzard> possible but we're behind on updates on a lot of the servers

[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.
[11:55:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> lot of extra libs but it ain't like drive space is precious lately.
[11:54:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> also got a mix of mate, lxde, and xfce going on
[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.
[11:53:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh, looks like they're not stopping development of the gtk version anyway

[11:42:36] <chromas> There's a couple stand-alone panel packages in the aur of that's what you're after
[11:40:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> or i'll switch to proper openbox and just quit using the lxde utils once they switch to qt
[11:40:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, i just won't update it
[11:39:44] <chromas> Roll up your sleeves, we may have to fork lxde
[11:39:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> nod nod. lxqt has merit over kde most certainly but qt is still not my friend.

[04:30:31] <Bytram> that *is* strange! *I* never saw anything like that

[04:29:15] <LancePodstrong> i lived in rapid city south dakota for a few years and teh weather there was batshit insane
[04:29:00] * Bytram does not like it when his car goes along with it.
[04:28:56] <LancePodstrong> definitely easier to work with when it's cold dry snow
[04:28:36] <BadCoderFinger> Yeah, I like it when it can blow off the road by itself.
[04:28:18] <Bytram> at least the current storm has the whispy 'dry' flakes... 'powder'. none of that sticky glommy stuff we usually get.
[04:28:11] <LancePodstrong> or have orographic uplift
[04:28:07] <LancePodstrong> need to be closer to a moisture source to really get dumped on like that
[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
[04:27:37] <BadCoderFinger> Heh, in 2005 we got 5 feet of snow.
[04:27:32] <Bytram> cold AND damp? yeah, that's nasty!
[04:27:09] <BadCoderFinger> Coldest winter I ever endured was in Baltimore. It wasn't that cold, but damp that got in your bones.
[04:26:56] <Bytram> without exageration, we had a snow storm last winter that dropped 30-inches on us. Yes, in just one storm.
[04:26:19] <LancePodstrong> oh yah you betcha, doncha know
[04:26:05] <BadCoderFinger> Six feet of snow to school, uphill both ways, that sort of thing?
[04:25:29] <BadCoderFinger> Heh!
[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
[04:22:43] <BadCoderFinger> Usually the jetstream just dips over us, bringing Canadian cold air. Dang Canadians!
[04:22:34] <Bytram> question for you all: seen any good places on the net with collections of [previews of] super bowl ads?
[04:22:05] <LancePodstrong> still it's no northern tier
[04:21:49] <BadCoderFinger> As much as I love Denver, the winters usually suck here.
[04:21:42] <Bytram> yeah, that's a tough transition
[04:21:31] <BadCoderFinger> I'll bet!

[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.
[04:06:53] <Bytram> here's a terribly salient line from that article:
[04:06:42] <Bytram> you got that right! De-anonymization can be trivially easy in many cases.
[04:05:57] <BadCoderFinger> "Anonymized" data almost never is.
[04:05:44] <BadCoderFinger> Pattern matching is all it takes.
[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.

[03:59:42] <Bytram> price of liberty has gone up a lot in recent years, eh?
[03:59:12] <BadCoderFinger> Yeah, we have the best government ever lobbied for!
[03:58:51] <Bytram> tactics being getting a selected politician into office; strategy being getting certain interests codified into law.
[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.
[03:58:20] <Bytram> think strategy over tactics.
[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.
[03:57:45] <BadCoderFinger> But for some, I guess the attraction is too much to resist.
[03:57:32] <Bytram> I agree that it is neither necessary nor sufficient, but it does have some ability to dramatically affect the outcome.
[03:57:16] <BadCoderFinger> And there are some obscenely wealthy people that don't get that involved in politics.
[03:56:41] <BadCoderFinger> Bytram: No, my point is that wealth alone doesn't do it.
[03:56:06] <Konomi> I definitly agree for the usa though
[03:55:58] <Konomi> no offense was taking and I didn't think you were ;p
[03:55:51] <Bytram> companies are people, too, nowadays.
[03:55:30] <Bytram> nod nod, and you make a valid point, as well... didn't mean to minimize it.
[03:55:15] <Konomi> I'm not a usa'ian though
[03:55:04] <BadCoderFinger> They're certainly exceptions.
[03:54:51] <Bytram> tell that to the Koch brothers -- they're raising $889 *Million* for the 2016 election
[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.
[03:53:38] <Konomi> true

[03:48:49] <Konomi> Bytram: that code last night was about my irc bot I'm slowly hacking away on
[03:48:26] <Bytram> =)
[03:48:26] * Bytram now pictures a turkey that is trying to walk around after having too many beers -- Wobble! Wobble!
[03:47:31] <Bytram> ugh. words!
[03:47:26] <Bytram> a turkey with laryngitis.
[03:47:16] <Bytram> laryngitic?
[03:46:43] <Bytram> sounds like something you'd here from a laryngetic turkey
[03:46:41] <BadCoderFinger> Heh!
[03:46:17] <Bytram> wobble - for some reason I just love the sound of that word
[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.
[03:44:15] <Bytram> Still, there could have been a place that they could have pointed it that included a number of nearer-by stars. Right?
[03:43:50] <Bytram> ok, so there'd be a whole lot of motion required to slew around to point at other targets, I understand that.
[03:43:20] <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.
[03:42:03] <Bytram> and the first thing that crossed my mind when I heard the early reports was: "Why are they looking so far away?"
[03:41:44] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Oh Noes! Millennials About to Outnumber Baby Boomers - http://sylnt.us - time-they-are-a-changin
[03:41:39] <Bytram> I never saw anything that explained their rationale for where they pointed it in the first place.
[03:41:12] <Bytram> no, I mean even before that.
[03:40:51] <BadCoderFinger> I think it's just the way it was pointed when it failed, but I'm not sure.
[03:40:22] <Bytram> any idea of why it was pointed at stars that were so far away?
[03:39:54] <BadCoderFinger> Yep, pointed at a small patch of sky and it's still functioning.
[03:39:44] <Bytram> that is, IIRC from what I'd read.
[03:39:35] <Bytram> It's still capable of looking, they lost one degree of freedom in pointing ability.
[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.
[03:38:27] <Bytram> e.g. Using Keck scopes in Hawaii
[03:38:24] <BadCoderFinger> Kepler is my astronomic hero, and having the observing platform named after him fail so early was a huge disappointment.
[03:38:13] <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.
[03:36:58] <BadCoderFinger> Bytram: Yeah, I know. But I continue to hope for the best.
[03:36:07] <Bender> karma - science: 4
[03:36:07] <Bytram> science++
[03:36:05] <Bytram> still, 1K planets! I remember when it was still a question whether or not other stars *had* any planets.
[03:35:32] <Bytram> also, they tended to detect larger planets over small ones (greater blocking of light from host star).
[03:35:04] <Bender> karma - zukitwo: 1
[03:35:04] <JamesNZ> zukitwo++
[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.
[03:27:53] <LancePodstrong> :)
[03:26:41] <BadCoderFinger> I'm thinking the Drake equation might be getting a variable filled in soon!
[03:26:10] <BadCoderFinger> So, 8 earth-like planets in the habitable zone... 0.8%

[03:21:47] <BadCoderFinger> (Man, I'm terribly jaded.)
[03:13:50] <BadCoderFinger> When advertising is the business, facts are irrelevant.
[03:13:36] <BadCoderFinger> That's defined as "story that gets clicks."
[03:06:23] <Bytram> "good" story? phtttht
[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

[03:00:20] <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.
[03:00:07] <LancePodstrong> apparently there are no-go zones in minneapolis that are under sharia law
[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.
[02:59:26] <Bytram> My instinctive response is: "I can't hear you -- you're yelling too loud."
[02:58:58] <Bytram> Shhh! Keep it down!
