[01:54:38] <chromas> We need to teach goats to take selfies
[02:06:09] <Runaway1956> The mountain goat's scientific name is oreamnos americanus. Mountain goats are not goats. They are more related to antelope and are part of the bovidae family.
[02:14:48] * cmn32480 wonders if he came into this at the wrong moment
[02:15:27] <chromas> You only come into real goats?
[02:15:42] * cmn32480 has no words
[02:17:38] * Runaway1956 wonders if chromas does goats, or if chromas is done by goats
[02:18:06] * cmn32480 expects that both are probably correct
[02:18:15] <cmn32480> can't take all the time

[02:40:27] <Runaway1956> cmn32480 - the weekend is coming, so that I can rebuild that damned computer
[02:40:37] <Runaway1956> It rebooted itself THREE times today
[02:40:52] <cmn32480> unacceptable
[02:41:03] * cmn32480 hands Runaway1956 a brick
[02:41:09] <Runaway1956> I did note that defrag was running in the background all three times - maybe a software glitch contributes to the hardware problem
[02:41:52] <Bytram> or, there might be an intermittent hardware problem that it keeps trying to recover from?
[02:41:56] <Bytram> is it on a UPS?
[02:42:21] <Runaway1956> Yeah, the UPS is undersized though
[02:42:38] <Bytram> Ooooooops!
[02:42:54] <Bytram> that could well do it right there, a voltage sag and who knows what fails to work right
[02:42:56] <Runaway1956> I keep coming back to the fact that when the wife built it, she DID NOT use enough Arctic silver on the CPU
[02:43:08] <Bytram> that sure does not help
[02:43:39] <Runaway1956> She complained about it overheating, I finally removed her cheap cooler, and found that it was only like 2/3 or 3/4 covered
[02:48:25] <Bytram> oh oh
[02:48:39] <Bytram> that's very not good
[02:49:34] <cmn32480> you can never have too much lube
[02:50:15] <Runaway1956> Me swirls the Arctic Silver around on the CPU after it is mounted, manually presses the cooler down on it, lifts, rotates 90 degrees, and press it again, lift, rotate, until it is back in the proper oreintation
[02:50:41] <Runaway1956> inspect for any dry spots, maybe add a wee bit more Arctic, then lock it in place
[02:50:48] <Runaway1956> Never get a dry spot that way
[02:51:11] <Runaway1956> And, I never suffer from overheating either
[02:51:40] * cmn32480 points to his previous statement
[02:53:49] <Runaway1956> Well, it's time to find some way to ruin my boss's day - later

[11:10:39] <boru> They're supported by extended ASCII!
[11:11:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> my pants are supported by a belt. much more reliable than extended ASCII
[11:13:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> anyway, real men only use 7-bit ASCII.
[11:13:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> 7's the key number here. Think about it. 7-Elevens. 7 dwarves. 7, man, that's the number. 7 chipmunks twirlin' on a branch, eatin' lots of sunflowers on my uncle's ranch. You know that old children's tale from the sea. It's like you're dreamin' about Gorgonzola cheese when it's clearly Brie time, baby.

[11:43:16] <cmn32480> Final Fantasy?
[11:44:13] <cmn32480> wow... pulled that out of my ass...
[11:44:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> hrm, possibly
[11:44:22] <cmn32480> I googled it
[11:44:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> 7, wasn't it?
[11:44:46] <cmn32480> yep
[11:45:06] <cmn32480> Materia (マテリア, Materia?) are items in the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII that allow a character to cast spells, summon, and use new command abilities, boost stats and give support abilities. Materia form the basis of the skill and ability system for Final Fantasy VII, and play a prominent role in character skills in other games.
[11:45:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> thought so. that's on of my favorites.
[11:45:25] <cmn32480> been a loooooong time since I played it
[11:45:35] <cmn32480> crap last time was probably college?
[11:45:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> heh, bout a year for me
[11:46:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> went from it to X
[11:46:20] <cmn32480> kids preclude large chunks of time spent playing video games
[11:47:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> so does my attention span
[11:47:33] <AndyTheAbsurd> I had an idea for a video game yesterday. Working title "Infinite Wasteland".
[11:48:05] <AndyTheAbsurd> Sort of Minecraft but set in a Mad Max-esque desert
[11:48:18] <AndyTheAbsurd> with procedurally generated landscape
[11:48:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> so minecraft and fallout's love child
[11:49:01] <AndyTheAbsurd> I guess? Never played Fallout.
[11:49:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> s'amusing.
[11:49:36] <AndyTheAbsurd> Also, possibly, Eve Online-like single-instance so that actions taken anywhere at any time may have repercussions for all users.
[11:50:41] <TheMightyBuzzard> kinda kills the procedurally generated landscape reason for being, no?
[11:51:02] <TheMightyBuzzard> but having a primary official server wouldn't suck.
[11:51:35] <boru> A Fallout 1/2 slash Stalker slash Elite slash Day-Z sort of affair would be a fun version of that.
[11:51:44] <AndyTheAbsurd> No, because procedurally generated landscape is why it's *Infinite* Wasteland. You could wander through the desert for the equivalent of light years and more terrain would appear.
[11:51:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> ahhh
[11:52:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> blerg, i got sun burned fishing yesterday. even underneath my sunglasses.
[11:53:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> AndyTheAbsurd, just make sure it's not written in java. it'd be nice to be able to host a server on a low-end box that would otherwise be retired.
[11:56:41] <cmn32480> AndyTheAbsurd - write it in perl or rust so taht TheMightyBuzzard can help
[11:57:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> rust wouldn't suck but perl would be nearly as bad as java for ram use.

[11:59:08] <Bender> karma - nicotine: 90
[12:09:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> hrm, i kinda wanna play fallout 4 again now
[12:18:37] <boru> Played the Stalker series?
[12:18:57] <boru> I liked the first two Fallout games, no interest in the latter two.
[12:20:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> newp, haven't heard of it
[12:20:13] <boru> I sheer number of mods give the Stalker series a lot of replayability, including the community TC on the first in the series called Lost Alpha.
[12:20:25] <boru> I highly recommend them. They're up there amongst my GOATs.
[12:20:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> hrm
[12:21:19] <boru> Shadow of Chernobyl, Clear Sky, Call of Pripyat -- install the 'Complete' mods for each on your first play-through; vanilla story, engine just gets a buff.
[12:21:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> right now i'm looking at I am Setsuna. has a early final fantasy kinda vibe to it.

[12:25:13] * cmn32480 hand the mighty buzzard a copy of "Pong"
[12:25:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> indeed. that's about the capability of my laptop.
[12:26:08] <cmn32480> yeah.. but the laptop takes up less space then the real ping pong table
[12:27:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> true but even folded out flat you have hardly any room to get the ball in bounds.
[12:27:39] <Bytram|away> Well, even smaller is Gnip Gnop®
[12:28:08] <boru> How about a nice game of chess?
[12:28:31] * TheMightyBuzzard loads up global thermo-nuclear war
[12:28:35] <Bytram|away> I know! Let's play global thermonuclear war!

[12:30:17] <Bytram|away> David Lightman: Yeah. Weird isn't it?
[12:30:17] <Bytram|away> Jennifer: Yeah.
[12:30:18] <Bytram|away> David Lightman: [typing] Love to. How about Global Thermonuclear War?
[12:30:22] <Bytram|away> Joshua: Wouldn't you prefer a nice game of chess?
[12:30:24] <cmn32480> Wouldn't you prefer a nice game of chess?

[12:30:26] <Bytram|away> David Lightman: [typing] Later. Let's play Global Thermonuclear War.
[12:30:28] <Bytram|away> Joshua: Fine.
[12:30:53] <boru> Speaking of which, Defcon is fun if Wargames-esque cold war nuclear holocaust is how you get your jollies.

[12:31:27] <boru> Pft, Joshua also says "How about a nice game of chess?" after he learns futility!
[12:32:07] <boru> Defcon has 'office mode' and a boss key and everything.
[12:32:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> rather play Democracy 3. wonder if they let you declare martial law and set yourself up as dictator
[12:32:42] <Bytram|away> time to get started on my day... biab

[14:02:55] <Runaway1956> That cute little puppy, that I talked about a few weeks ago?
[14:03:06] <Runaway1956> She's half pig, I think.
[14:03:23] <cmn32480> why is she living with you still?
[14:03:28] <cmn32480> I thoguht the girl came to get rags
[14:03:47] -!- crutchy has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[14:03:48] <Runaway1956> She did - then brought her back when SHE thought the puppy was old enough to leave home
[14:04:00] <Runaway1956> Anyway - rags splashes in every drop of water she can find
[14:04:17] <Runaway1956> She looks like she sat down in a puddle, and stayed there until it dried around her.
[14:04:27] <Runaway1956> No more coming in the house for her.
[14:04:32] <cmn32480> so wait... you got the dog back?
[14:04:35] <Runaway1956> Needs to go to the car wash
[14:04:44] <Runaway1956> Yeah, I got her back about two weeks later.
[14:04:56] <cmn32480> after you were so happy to be turning her back to her owner
[14:05:04] <Runaway1956> I think the grand daughter was under pressure about the cost of feeding all the pets or something like that
[14:05:13] <cmn32480> ahhhhhh
[14:05:19] <cmn32480> goats and the like if I recall

[14:09:25] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Thousands Sacked or Arrested in Turkey After Failed Coup - http://sylnt.us - binge-purge
[14:10:00] <Runaway1956> 10 tb seems a waste, really.
[14:10:08] <cmn32480> Seagate? Not with his dick and you puching
[14:10:14] <Bytram|away> well, that's *up* *to*....
[14:10:22] <Bytram|away> lesser capacity drives came out, too
[14:11:08] <Runaway1956> When the OS is reinstalled on the 250 Gig SSD, the wife will still have her 1 tb drive to store stuff on
[14:11:22] <Runaway1956> If it ever gets crowded, I'll give her another TB on my RAID
[14:11:24] <Bytram|away> what OS are you running?
[14:11:36] <Runaway1956> The wife's computer is Win7
[14:11:59] <Runaway1956> I only run Linux - if I need a winsoemthing, I run it in a VM
[14:12:01] <Bytram|away> nod nod
[14:12:09] <Bytram|away> still reading, but there's this:
[14:12:09] <Bytram|away> The thinnest 2.5-in. BarraCuda drive is 7mm thick, small enough for ultrathin notebooks; it offers up to 2TB of capacity.
[14:12:15] <Runaway1956> viral infections mean about nothing in a VM
[14:12:38] <Bytram|away> *almost* -- the virus writers are getting smarter / sneakier
[14:12:46] <cmn32480> size, capacity don't matter... tehy are from Seagarte and therefor suspect
[14:12:49] <Bytram|away> I've heard of explits that can evade the VM
[14:13:03] <Bytram> *exploits
[14:13:13] <Runaway1956> Yeah, I've read a couple such stories, but few if any support Linux.
[14:13:19] <Bytram> yeah, Seagate is a different company these days
[14:13:24] <Bytram> nod nod
[14:13:43] <Bytram> more danger when running same OS as host AND guest, I suspect
[14:14:17] <Runaway1956> we can run a honeypot, collecting all the viruses we can find, and it's unlikely that any of those Win viruses will be able to do anything to the *nix host

[14:16:49] * Bytram remembers that song
[14:17:09] <Bytram> very simple, but catchy tune
[14:17:54] * Bytram wonders why computer systems are not set to *atomic* time, and then use an offset to compute UTC, much like how TZs are implemented against UTC, today
[14:19:00] <Runaway1956> I've had similar thoughts - WTF do I need to find out what time it is to set up the BIOS, anyway/
[14:19:23] <Runaway1956> It should KNOW the time, give or take a couple nanoseconds, or nonoseconds
[14:19:40] <Bytram> so the BIOS can tell the rest of the OS once it gets booted up, see also: clock skew
[14:19:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh like you've never pulled the cmos battery out
[14:20:33] <Runaway1956> Yeah, I've pulled a battery or twenty - but a new mainboard from the factory? it should KNOW the time.
[14:20:52] <Bytram> true fact: back in the 80's IBM Big Iron, when re-booted, would ask the computer operator to enter the date and time... the operator would look at their $10 timex watch and try to type it in correctly, and that was the date/time that 500-1000 users of that machine saw
[14:21:10] <Bytram> note the phrase "try to type it in correctly"
[14:21:42] <Runaway1956> LOL - those ten dollar Timex watches - there was no synchronizing it to anything
[14:21:42] <Bytram> is getting to the point that anyone who *really* cared could get a GPS receiver and set up their own NTP server

[14:43:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> pffft, hiccups are hiccups not real issues.
[14:44:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> simplest solution is for OSes to ignore it and let it get sorted by NTP if necessary.
