[01:46:17] <Bytram> cmn32480: ^^^

[01:48:04] <Bytram> If you're the lucky owner of Cisco Firepower or Adaptive Security Appliance devices, check the version number and see if you need to reboot your kit.
[01:48:04] <Bytram> Switchzilla has discovered an operational (that is, not security) bug that makes the devices hang after continuous operation for around 18,446,400 seconds (213-and-a-half days).
[01:48:04] <Bytram> The issue affects three Cisco FirePower software versions – 6.1.0.1, 6.1.0.2, and 6.2.0 – and 28 ASA (from 9.1.7.11 to 9.7.1.2).
[01:56:30] <cmn32480> not kit that I run.. but thnks for the heads up
[01:57:51] <Bytram> happy to hear it's not an issue for you. the description on how to handle failover situations is... interesting

[08:58:24] <FatPhil> Bytram: 213-and-a-half-days isn't that weird if you realise that it's actually 213 days, 12 hours, 5 minutes and a whisker over 44 seconds.
[09:56:53] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - "Sources" Fear Terrorists will get Past Airport Security with Laptop Bombs - http://sylnt.us - Boom-Box
[09:57:35] <soy673> "sources"
[09:58:23] <boru> Aye, we've been getting 'heads up' emails about this; it seems to be restricted to select countries at the moment, but I reckon they'll extend it to all countries.
[09:58:37] <boru> Stowing battery powered crap in hold luggage, that is.
[09:59:04] <boru> It's really going to put me off flying to the US or the UK at all, ever.
[09:59:19] <soy673> or just migrate there and never look back :)
[09:59:24] <soy673> I know I plan to
[09:59:44] <boru> I've emigrated to the UK, but planning on leaving soon.
[10:01:11] <soy673> boru: where are you leaving for?
[10:02:25] <boru> I'm considering a few destinations in Europe.
[10:03:02] <soy673> Eastern Europe?
[10:03:08] <boru> Perhaps.
[10:03:32] <boru> Hungary is attractive, so far as Eastern Europe goes.
[10:04:18] <soy673> language is a barrier there
[10:04:27] <soy673> which is why I chose the USA
[10:05:26] <boru> Understandable. I'd live in the US, sans silly policies. Anywhere on the line between Arizona and Montana/Wyoming.
[10:05:51] <NCommander> If my living situation allowed it, I would have GTFO'ed months ago
[10:05:57] * NCommander has lived all over the world
[10:06:54] <boru> I wouldn't mind trying Iceland for a while.
[10:07:27] <boru> So far as contintental Western Europe goes, Austria has potential.
[10:07:41] <boru> Perhaps the Basque region of Spain, also.
[10:08:18] <boru> If taxation and the cost of living back in Ireland weren't so out of touch with reality, I'd consider returning there.
[10:09:55] <soy673> how about Switzerland?
[10:10:03] <soy673> nobody invades the swiss :)
[10:11:00] <boru> If the GDP wasn't so reliant on the financial sector, perhaps. As a country, it's quite attractive otherwise.
[10:11:36] <boru> Naturally defendable, lax gun laws, beautiful country, ecologically aware, non-NATO memeber etc.
[10:12:00] <soy673> so neutral that they're on their own
[10:12:09] <boru> Swiss German sure is a tough language, though.
[10:13:33] <boru> I think they're about to reform their legislation regarding immigration from EU member states unilaterally, too.
[10:13:53] <soy673> wait what?
[10:13:55] <boru> Prior to this proposed change, there were only restrictions on places like Romania, and a few others.
[10:14:10] <boru> Yeah, I think they were supposed to have made up their mind last month.
[10:14:42] <soy673> so, they don't allow anyone to simply waltz in?
[10:15:25] <boru> The last time I looked, it was pretty lax for EU member state citizens, bar some of the newer members.
[10:15:49] <boru> The had a referendum in 2014 to stop mass immigration, but they had a few years to decide how to enforce it.
[10:16:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> coffee++
[10:16:10] <Bender> karma - coffee: 3326
[10:16:16] <soy673> ah I see, western Europe is going mad anyway
[10:16:50] <boru> Ah, it appears they reached some form of agreement last December.
[10:16:54] <boru> Yeah, tell me about it.
[10:17:20] <boru> It seems destablisation is spread across the globe.
[10:18:39] <boru> Spreading, rather.
[10:19:11] <soy673> not sure what's their goal, perhaps another world war to fix up the "economy"
[10:20:19] <boru> I try to avoild politics at all costs.
[10:22:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> good luck with that
[10:22:09] <soy673> oh well, its fun to gaze into the crystal ball
[10:24:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> aside from them raising the fishing license prices last year, i don't have much of a beef with tennessee. some things i'd rather they did differently but not many of em directly affect me.

[10:59:41] <TheMightyBuzzard> think it feels like a bot coding day
[11:02:01] <boru> Don't forget to sync!
[11:02:39] <boru> What sort of game do you get in Tennessee?
[11:04:10] * clorox|2 imagines he tends to get trolls on the line
[11:04:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> hunting? deer n turkey that i know of. not that i hunt.
[11:05:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> m'always too busy fishing to hunt.

[11:07:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> think you win that one. though i'll keep the mug.
[11:08:07] <Bytram> use it for target practice? You could call that a... mug shot?
[11:08:07] <boru> I've never hunted turkey.
[11:08:25] <boru> Cup yourself on, will you?
[11:08:31] <Bytram> boru: is hard to sneak up to 'em in the freezer section of the grocery store
[11:10:01] <boru> No further crockery puns? Tough crowd.
[11:10:45] <clorox|2> they were busy getting mugged
[11:11:05] <boru> There's a time and a plate for it, I suppose.
[11:11:09] * clorox|2 dials the punlice
[11:11:24] <boru> You have no glass.
[11:11:31] <clorox|2> that's a crock
[11:12:16] * Bytram eyes glaze over
[11:12:38] <clorox|2> must be all that pot
[11:12:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> after research: deer, elk, turkey, quail, grouse, dove, woodcock, ducks, geese, squirrel, rabbit, and racoon
[11:12:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> there's also an official snipe season
[11:13:37] <cmn32480> boru - lots of them have a glass jaw when it comes to puns
[11:13:44] <clorox|2> wabbit season!
[11:13:52] <cmn32480> DUCK SEASON! FIRE!
[11:14:20] <boru> I've never hunted elk, either.
[11:14:40] <TheMightyBuzzard> me either and i'm not sure there are any actually around in TN to hunt.
[11:14:42] <boru> I presum racoons are vermin there?
[11:14:54] <cmn32480> hunting elk is no big deer
[11:15:03] <Bytram> Be vewy vewy kwiet -- weah hunting wabbits!
[11:15:07] <boru> Scavengers don't tend to taste very nice.
[11:15:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> boru, basically, yeah. the season is for population control i believe rather than food.
[11:15:31] * boru nods.
[11:15:40] <boru> No predators there?
[11:15:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh, i left out bear didn't i?
[11:16:02] <boru> Ah, right.
[11:16:08] <clorox|2> why would you hunt coons? they dindu nuffin!
[11:16:16] <Bytram> lions and tigers and bears? oh my!
[11:17:02] <boru> I was thinking of heading over to the Black Forest to hunt boar again, this year.
[11:17:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> we got foxes and coyotes as well but it ain't legal to hunt them. shoot them on your property if you have livestock but not hunt them.
[11:17:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh, hogs are considered an invasive species and can be hunted year round i believe.
[11:17:37] <boru> Aye, foxes are culled over here.
[11:17:37] <clorox|2> Do you ever sell them rockets or anvils?
[11:18:01] <boru> They're top of the food chain in Ireland.
[11:18:47] <boru> Wildfowl, waterfowl and deer are all in season, only. Everything else is vermin, though hares are protected.
[11:19:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> yep, they're kill at will
[11:23:12] <cmn32480> boru - so they are like Drop Bears in Australia? eating people as well as everythgin else?
[11:26:04] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - MIT Creates Add-on Molten Salt Reactor to Avoid Regulatory Red Tape - http://sylnt.us - pronounced-nucular
[11:26:04] <clorox|2> Drop bears are terrible. They don't even support sftp
[11:27:26] <clorox|2> Regulation = bad now?
[11:27:37] * clorox|2 inserts politics
[11:28:01] <boru> Molten salt reactors are neat, but they sure do cost a lot to run, for the output.
[11:28:08] <boru> cmn32480; hmm?
[11:28:37] <soy673> molten salt reactos IN SPACE

[11:28:52] <exec> [urbandictionary] 03drop bear: A native to the australian outback, the drop bear is a mysterious, yet chillingly savage member of the marsupial family. If you are unlucky enough to pitch a tent under a tree inhabited by a drop bear...
[11:29:06] <boru> Yeah, I know what drop bears are, I just didn't understand what you were referring to, is all.
[11:29:29] <boru> Molten salt reactors in space would be an engineering nightmare.
[11:29:39] <cmn32480> foxes at the top of the food chain
[11:29:44] <boru> Oh, I see.
[11:29:48] * boru kldload brain.ko
[11:29:58] <soy673> would satisfy NIMBY types :)
[11:30:00] <cmn32480> it was a poor attempt at humor... a few lines too late
[11:30:16] <boru> I missed the context entirely. I'm exhausted today.
[11:30:51] * cmn32480 passes boru a nap
[11:31:03] <boru> I'd rather launch NIMBY types into space, than molten salt reactors.
[11:31:21] <boru> Manned solar exploration missions.
[11:31:36] <Bytram> boru: for safety, only launch at night
[11:31:48] <soy673> boru: have you watched the original Gundam series?
[11:32:09] <soy673> it had an interesting solution for space colonization
[11:32:31] <soy673> basically, exile the poor, destitute and desperate into space
[11:32:32] <boru> Yeah, I thought the socio-political structure was sort of similar to the Battletech universe. Quite involved.
[11:32:53] <soy673> "Look, do you want to eat or not?"
[11:32:54] <boru> Whereas the clans exhiled themselves in Battletech. Prime scifi.
[11:33:34] <soy673> I am definitely seeing some parallels between the EU and the Earth Federation
[11:33:56] * boru chuckles.
[11:34:04] <soy673> I also like how Anaheim Electronics was secretly the winner of the One year war

[11:35:48] <soy673> they did fund the initial revolt through underground channels as well

[13:31:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> yays! got him patched to not die on bad pings
[13:31:30] <FatPhil> how much should a quality ergonomic office chair cost?
[13:31:54] <cmn32480> depends.... how quality? and how much do you weigh?
[13:31:55] * TheMightyBuzzard has no clue
[13:32:39] <FatPhil> Being quoted 600e for a fairly simple one by an outlet that doesn't sell anything crappy.
[13:33:22] <FatPhil> highly customisable, and literally every feature is optional, adding 50-100e to the price from a bear bones model at 350e.
[13:33:23] <cmn32480> 600 Euros?
[13:33:55] <FatPhil> yeah, that seems a bit steep. pukka quality - 8 year warrantee.
[13:34:10] <cmn32480> that seems a little steep
[13:34:22] <cmn32480> rationi is almost 1 to 1 on the euro to the dollar
[13:34:31] <FatPhil> even the castors are customisable - for a hard wood floor they have rubber coasters rather than plastic ones.
[13:35:02] <cmn32480> seems like a very nice chair...
[13:35:32] <FatPhil> I clearly have an eye for a good chair - as soon as I walked into the shop I sat on the 1200e model :/
[13:35:39] <cmn32480> if you are a gentleman of sizable stature, that adds to the cost ss well
[13:36:08] <FatPhil> Shall we just say there's a little irony in my nick.
[13:36:27] <cmn32480> you weigh 50 kilos?
[13:36:52] <FatPhil> to be any more accurate would require 2 significant digits!
[13:37:10] * cmn32480 thinks about buyimng a lottery ticket
[13:38:04] <cmn32480> cripe... I'm 110 kilos
[13:38:22] cmn32480 is now known as Fatcmn32480
[13:39:13] <FatPhil> my g/f weighs in at closer to 40kg - we know plenty of people who weigh more than both of us put together!

[18:15:08] <cmn32480> holding my own... 'cuz nobody else will.
[18:15:23] <BadCoderFinger> That sounds rather personal.
[18:15:39] <cmn32480> jsut a statement of fact
[18:15:49] <cmn32480> long time no see.. everythign been good?
[18:16:09] <BadCoderFinger> Working like crazy. Working now, but at least I'm at home where there's beer.
[18:16:24] <BadCoderFinger> How about you?
[18:16:24] * cmn32480 is jealous
[18:16:35] <cmn32480> running around like a nutcase
[18:16:43] <cmn32480> I've been on the road alot lately
[18:16:50] <cmn32480> spent a whole 4 days in the office in March
[18:16:58] <BadCoderFinger> I've developed a new hatred of MSSQL. It's poop.
[18:17:03] <BadCoderFinger> That's a lot of travel.
[18:17:14] <cmn32480> yeah
[18:17:19] <cmn32480> wife is rather unhappy about it
[18:17:37] <BadCoderFinger> Any chance of the travelling calming down?
[18:18:39] <cmn32480> if I can get somebody hired who sticks around... yes
[18:19:02] <cmn32480> last guy we hired I fired inside a week... caught him huffing from canned air at his desk
[18:19:11] -!- popeydoll has quit [Ping timeout: 276 seconds]
[18:19:53] <BadCoderFinger> Heh, that's gotta be a euphemism.
[18:19:56] <cmn32480> jso back t6o the drawring board we went
[18:20:06] <cmn32480> sadly... no
[18:20:18] <cmn32480> I literally pulled a can of Dust Off from his nose
[18:20:30] <BadCoderFinger> Seriously? Holy crap, that's pretty bad.
[18:20:49] <cmn32480> you know how reality is stranger than fiction? well.....
[18:20:57] <BadCoderFinger> Definitely.
[18:23:02] <cmn32480> had to pick my jaw off the floor
[18:24:03] <BadCoderFinger> We had a guy that stabbed a pair of scissors in the boss's chair once, but never a huffer.
[18:24:29] <cmn32480> see... stories that if you made them up wouldn't sound nearly as believable...
[18:25:31] <BadCoderFinger> Oh, it gets better. Back in the early 90s, I'd just gotten a new 14.4 modem and was testing the fax part out. The boss had told us to work Saturdays to make a deadline, but I told him "No chance."
[18:25:39] <BadCoderFinger> I had less to lose then, heh.
[18:26:06] <BadCoderFinger> So I faxed work, just to test it. "If you're at work on Saturday, you obviously have nothing better to do."
[18:26:21] <BadCoderFinger> When I came in Monday, everybody looked like they'd seen a ghost.
[18:26:35] <cmn32480> lol
[18:26:47] <BadCoderFinger> The guy had come in to work on Saturday, and thought my boss was making fun of him for actually showing up.
[18:27:02] <cmn32480> that's awesome
[18:27:34] <BadCoderFinger> He used to sit under his desk and cry. Not the most stable guy, I don't think.
[18:27:46] <cmn32480> i did that this morning
[18:27:51] <BadCoderFinger> Heh!
[18:28:01] <cmn32480> buddy offered me last second tickets to Opening Day at Camden Yards
[18:28:12] <cmn32480> I'm packing to go back on the road adn can't go...
[18:28:22] * cmn32480 cries in his beer again
[18:28:22] <BadCoderFinger> Aw, man, that bites.
[18:28:30] <cmn32480> yup
[18:28:38] <cmn32480> I was pretty unhappy....
[18:28:57] * cmn32480 makes a note to put Opening Day on the calendar next year so as not to schedule stuff.
[18:29:25] <BadCoderFinger> I'd do that too, but it doesn't help. Some emergency always pops up.
[18:29:51] <cmn32480> I managed it last year
[18:30:18] <BadCoderFinger> Ugh, plugged in my phone to the computer to charge it. It has an installer for windows!
[18:30:28] <BadCoderFinger> You know, so it can "sync."
[18:30:41] <BadCoderFinger> Sucks to be android, I run openbsd.
[18:31:45] <cmn32480> really? my phone requires interaction before it will talk to my windows PC
[18:32:01] <cmn32480> I have to change the mode from USB charging to "File Transfer" or somesuch
[18:32:08] <BadCoderFinger> Mine at least asked for permission to connect, but then tried to connect anyway.
[18:32:26] <BadCoderFinger> I hate android.
[18:33:08] <cmn32480> more or less than iOS?
[18:33:54] <BadCoderFinger> About the same, I'd guess. I'd take a mac over a windows machine any day, but I've never used an iOS device.
[18:34:11] <BadCoderFinger> Plus I hate click-to-focus and there's no getting around that on a mac.
[18:34:46] <BadCoderFinger> Best phone I ever had was a Nokia N900, and it was a great pocket computer. Just a terrible phone.
[18:34:48] <cmn32480> heh
[18:35:05] <cmn32480> I'mm not an apple aficionado
[18:35:35] <BadCoderFinger> I'd be better off with a dumb phone and a hotspot, but "I have to get my emails quickly." Sigh.
[18:35:49] <cmn32480> I know that feeling
[18:51:42] <AndyTheAbsurd> BadCoderFinger: hello, fellow click-to-focus hater! So glad to know that I'm not alone! (I mean I guessed I must not be, why else would "sloppy focus" settings exist? but it's still nice to find someone who agrees.)
[18:52:49] <BadCoderFinger> Heh, cool. I tend to switch between Fluxbox, cwm, and i3
[18:54:26] <BadCoderFinger> I love i3 being able to drive it completely with the keyboard. Cwm is like that too, but I haven't used it as much.

[19:00:42] <BadCoderFinger> If my USB connecter hadn't broken off the board, I'd still be using the N900.
[19:00:55] * FatPhil picks up his tmux session on his n900
[19:01:26] <FatPhil> common problem, about 5 of my spare-parts n900s have failed that way
