[02:06:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> zfs is for bsd hipsters
[02:06:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> it's far and away overkill for a desktop
[02:06:44] <chromas> What's the equivalent for linux then?
[02:06:56] <chromas> I want to be able to add moar disks
[02:07:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> LVM
[02:07:28] <chromas> Does that allow online expansion and contraction of filesystems? and do the filesystems support it?
[02:07:46] <chromas> damn, every time I try to type systems it comes out "systemd". Halp! I've been infected!
[02:07:52] <cmn32480> and is it cloud based?
[02:07:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> it deals with partitions not filesystems
[02:08:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> now i have no idea if ext4 supports online expansion but i know you can do it offline

[02:10:24] <cmn32480> yes, yes it is
[02:10:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> dude, resizing a mounted partition is insano
[02:10:41] <chromas> Why?
[02:10:52] <chromas> It just needs to recognize there's more space available
[02:10:52] <cmn32480> do it in Wondows all the time in VM's
[02:11:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> yes but all you end up with is more windows. how is that a good thing?
[02:11:41] <cmn32480> one word: PAYCHECK
[02:11:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> fair nuff
[02:11:54] <chromas> I had btrfs on a couple disks but when I did a rare thing and tried to use the optical drive. one of the disks disappeared. none of the btrfs tools will handle it now that the disk is back

[02:12:10] <chromas> yes

[10:21:37] <soy673> is coffee an unsigned integer?
[10:22:00] <soy673> coffee =- 3338
[10:22:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> no, it's a tasty beverage
[10:22:13] <soy673> no backtracking allowed
[10:23:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> really i dunno how high the number will go though. whatever that python version on whatever kind of chip our vm thinks it has will allow i expect.
[10:23:39] <clorox|2> Does python use native types?
[10:23:44] <boru> I would expect it to have arbitrary precision.
[10:23:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> eventually, yeah
[10:24:15] <clorox|2> imagine gmp-based coffee. it's gonna be yuuuge
[10:24:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> personally, i'm amazed bewbs haven't taken off more than they have

[10:25:15] <SirFinkus> ok
[10:25:18] <SirFinkus> so idea for government
[10:25:23] <SirFinkus> no names on the ballots
[10:25:30] <clorox|2> We probably don't drink bewbs as often
[10:25:35] <SirFinkus> in fact, revealing that you're running for office is a crime
[10:25:36] <soy673> are we /pol/ yet?
[10:26:10] <SirFinkus> you write an essay on your policies
[10:26:17] <SirFinkus> and people vote for the essay they like the best
[10:26:22] <clorox|2> SirFinkus: we're all assigned ipv6 addresses and whoever gets pinged the most wins?
[10:26:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, we talk about bewbs more than they do.
[10:26:57] * clorox|2 will have ciri write his eses
[10:26:58] <soy673> "Jesus will save us"

[10:29:19] <SirFinkus> I don't get root?
[10:29:34] <clorox|2> Heathen! Heresy!
[10:29:37] <soy673> silly SirFinkus, you are always root on Windows
[10:29:45] <clorox|2> Not anymore
[10:30:02] <SirFinkus> by the way, has anyone had any trouble with usb mice after a recent windows 10 update?
[10:30:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> nope
[10:30:17] <SirFinkus> I've noticed it on 2 computes so far, which means it's a trend
[10:30:20] <clorox|2> Does macossex have root? or is it called something else?
[10:30:28] <SirFinkus> mouse can move, but no clicking
[10:30:35] <soy673> Administrator
[10:30:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh, do we need to be running windows or just using that as a timeline?
[10:30:39] <SirFinkus> yup clorox|2
[10:30:52] <SirFinkus> although you need to do some fiddling to tweak certain os files
[10:31:20] * TheMightyBuzzard debates the relative merits of working on the new bot some more or going fishing
[10:31:43] <clorox|2> friend put 10 on his lap; optical drive bay got flaky like the connector was broken, even with an hdd in its place. put back 8.1 on fixed it
[10:31:49] * clorox|2 edit can't
[10:32:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> clorox|2, driver issue prolly
[10:32:06] <SirFinkus> fish are delicious
[10:32:20] <SirFinkus> you can pee in a body of water
[10:32:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> #yt i love the fishes cause they're so delicious
[10:32:26] <MrPlow> https://www.youtube.com
[10:32:44] <SirFinkus> and they won't catch themselves
[10:32:51] <TheMightyBuzzard> s'true
[10:33:23] <TheMightyBuzzard> and i ain't been doing it the hard n slow way lately. running jug lines out of the boat instead of rod n reel off the bank.
[10:34:02] <SirFinkus> dare I say, trolling?
[10:34:12] * TheMightyBuzzard nods
[10:34:23] <SirFinkus> -1 troll
[10:34:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> ♫ they see me trollin, they hatin ♫
[10:34:53] <clorox|2> they probably require higher quality bait than the interwebs
[10:35:20] <SirFinkus> fish are dumb, they'll eat plastic
[10:35:21] <clorox|2> but I imagine you're a mastur of bate
[10:35:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> indeed
[10:35:47] <clorox|2> chickens also eat plastic. fish = chicken. yay!
[10:36:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> chickens are harder to catch.
[10:36:11] <SirFinkus> http://www.greeniacs.com
[10:36:15] <SirFinkus> look at this stupid fuck
[10:38:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh, found out they got a trophy-sized fish certificate thang goin on here in TN. which is a shame cause the blue cat i pulled in tuesday would have qualified.
[10:38:59] <clorox|2> You can still get a participation one though, right?
[10:39:22] <clorox|2> looks similar but with a speshul helmet
[10:39:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> turn in one trophy fish picture, get a certificate. turn in five, get a lvl II certificate. turn in ten get a lvl III and a buncha free shat from bass pro.
[10:40:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> i think it'd be neat to take the roomie's kids with me and get them some certs but the free bass pro shit is what i want.

[11:11:54] <SirFinkus> I got 240 pages so far
[11:12:12] <clorox|2> Does it need disablin'?

[11:13:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> ah, yeah. good catch.

[11:20:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> that's weird. you'd expect a load balancer to show client ips. that's acting more like a reverse proxy to a bunch of web frontends.
[11:21:54] <SirFinkus> apparently people really want to get fucked up at 4 am
[11:22:15] <clorox|2> Maybe the Clients there are the apaches and they're connecting to the log server
[11:22:34] <SirFinkus> benzos and opiates mainly
[11:22:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> that'd be especially odd. normally you'd send that out over syslog.
[11:23:19] <clorox|2> would syslog store the server IPs?

[11:56:54] <Bytram> hmmm, and how do I get a list of the nicks that I've flagged to not appear in my hexchat window? /me forgets what command he used in the first place
[11:57:16] <boru> Sounds client specific. Perhaps /ignore with no arguments?
[11:57:29] <Bytram> yep!
[11:57:34] <boru> I don't use hexchat, so I don't know.
[11:57:36] <boru> Ah, good.
[11:57:53] <Bytram> and how do I not /ignore ?
[11:58:02] <boru> /unignore usually.
[11:58:44] <boru> irssi allows /unignore by list number, so hexchat might, also, to save you typing/pasting the mask.
[11:58:52] <Bytram> boru: correct again!
[11:59:04] <Bytram> no numbers were displayed, but good to know anyway

[12:00:33] <boru> Well, many clients have the short form getopts, as well, for certain commands.
[12:00:44] <Bytram> Please do NOT make me try to think of every single antonym you came up with for every single command
[12:00:55] <boru> e.g. /ignore -regexp 'blahblah' and so on.
[12:01:00] <Bytram> not irc-specific --- that's a general rant =)
[12:01:15] <boru> Valid.
[12:01:31] <Bytram> IMO, that's something that MS's lanmanager got right
[12:01:31] <boru> I have the same gripe with text based protocols.

[12:02:02] <boru> Lanman got _a lot_ of things wrong, as well.
[12:02:30] <Bytram> from a UI perspective, it sure seemed to be an improvement over Novell, at least for me

[12:05:40] <Bytram> make it a game? draw a plot of how many docs you need done by day's end, and mark your progress. try to beat the curve and go home early!
[12:05:57] <Bytram> and leave the flames for the others
[12:06:19] <Bytram> sadly, i needs to be getting ready for my day... thanks for the chat!

[12:07:10] <boru> I'm nearly there. Most of my documentation gets autogenerated; TeX/mandoc in comments, MSCs, JSDs and STDs from logging in test builds and so on.
[12:07:28] <boru> This is just a manual to clobber lusers with.
[12:08:34] <boru> Logging graphviz instrumentation, that is.

[20:04:19] * Deucalion impotently rages at the ability for laser printer toner once freed from its prison to get ~absolutely~ everywhere.
[20:05:15] * chromas runs around Deucalion's place with a torch, melting the toner onto everything
[20:05:57] * Deucalion did not free it I hasten to add - knackered waste toner scraper seal on an image drum that had been dumping what seemed like a deserts worth of the stuff into the innards of the printer.
[20:10:02] <Deucalion> chromas, not my printer, not my place - work shit. You know it's going to be bad when all the call notes state is "Cmr has new drum - requires engineer to clean printer and install new drum" - it's going to be messy. Best part of 2 hours stripping the bugger down as the fans in the printer had managed to lodge the escapee toner everywhere inside the thing. It was shedding little piles of black dust every time I looked at it. Of course, it h
[20:10:03] <Deucalion> ad been run like that for - must have been months, where the seal was bust it had completely worn off about a mm on the drum. So every time the drum turned... toner just pissed out and got blown about inside.
[20:11:02] <chromas> Is it a fancy one or can it just be replaced with a new $40 printer?
[20:11:13] <chromas> Sounds cheaper than paying someone to dick with it
[20:13:49] <Deucalion> Not a cheap printer - OKI MFP thingamy. The only fault was the dodgy seal on the image drum - which is an easily replaceable part - tis a consumable - 10K page life or somesuch. Just the clean up was a ball ache.
[20:13:57] <SirFinkus> friends don't let friends buy cheap printers
[20:14:20] <SirFinkus> printers are suffering
[20:14:46] <SirFinkus> for absolutely no reason that I can discern
[20:16:37] <Deucalion> One of those jobs you wish - unplug it and powerwash it outside were an option :D
[20:17:03] <SirFinkus> pc load letter etc
[20:17:53] <SirFinkus> just don't shoot the place up, you'll leave black fingerprints everywhere
[20:17:54] <mechanicjay> Buy a good 24 pin Dot-matrix printer -- it'll outlast you and you can buy a ribbon with pocket change.
[20:18:10] <SirFinkus> and you can use it to play music
[20:18:19] <Deucalion> Yeeehh - I don't know anyone who likes working on printers. Thankfully I only get the occasional one to attend to.
[20:19:23] <Deucalion> mechanicjay, got a linkie to a good 24-pin dot matrix? Last I looked - they're not exactly "cheap" these days. Lack of demand or something apparently.
[20:20:27] <SirFinkus> I'd check the used market
[20:20:32] <SirFinkus> but yeah, I just checked
[20:20:36] <SirFinkus> like $350 starting
[20:21:29] <SirFinkus> I see these ones everywhere https://www.amazon.com
[20:21:34] <Deucalion> I remember the high speed dot matrix printers we had at uni connected to whatever "mainframe" it was - those were seriously fast.... and a serious hazard to the hearing IIRC.
[20:23:16] <Deucalion> They may not have been DM come to think - they may have been those whizzy golf ball head printers... continual feed paper just spewing out the of the things in a little arc. Very impressive to watch the speed it laid the print down once you grokked how it was actually mechanically working :)
[20:23:25] <mechanicjay> There've been dozens of them at RE-PC in SEattle for like $20 each the few times I've been there.
[20:23:41] <mechanicjay> Deucalion: possibly a chain printer
[20:24:57] <mechanicjay> HAHA, the 2-pack price for the Microlines is more than if you purchased 2 separate printers.
[20:25:48] <Deucalion> Whatever they were (I knew roughly zero at the time and paid zero shits to even note a make) - they seemed never to break and printed fanfold at warp speed :D
[20:27:02] <chromas> You could probably take it outside and powerwash it with an air compressor. Wear a mask
[20:28:30] <SirFinkus> I have a plan
[20:28:40] <SirFinkus> first, get shit tons of alcohol
[20:28:48] <SirFinkus> it's not what you think
[20:28:50] <chromas> Then drink it
[20:29:02] <SirFinkus> well, you could do that too
[20:29:13] <SirFinkus> but just submerge the fucker
[20:34:48] <Deucalion> chromas, middle of a very busy high street - fashion retail store - one does not just take a printer outside and blast the shit out of it with compressed air. It had the best part of what I reckon to be a half cartridge of toner in its guts - some idiot would think it was a terrorist attack and Trump would launch 39 missiles on the place :D But I'd not get shot at least - this being the UK and all :D
[20:35:23] <chromas> Only 39? That's a pretty good deal!
[20:35:42] <chromas> Hey, have you guys had a Truck of Peace yet?
[20:35:56] <chromas> Sweden just got theirs
[20:36:30] <Deucalion> Terrorist or just another random nutjob that daesh want to claim credit for.. like the London one?
[20:36:30] <chromas> SirFinkus' alcohol idea sounds good though.
[20:36:42] <SirFinkus> !grab chromas

[20:40:09] <Deucalion> The state response is more scary than the acts IMO. "3 people died!!!! We must be seen to act" - perfect time for that monitoring shit we've been pushing for ages - even though it has absolutely no relevance and the Security arms are like "WTF - we're fine, that's not going to help, we kinda knew about him but had insufficient budget to allocate any resource to it - some funding over here please.... and stop dramatising everything you PPE g

[20:42:32] <chromas> We just need sane truck laws.
[20:45:13] <Deucalion> More laws can never hurt..... hell - make everything illegal and only permit things on a whitelist basis - that'll stop all bad things from happening... laws. Oh wait - that's the basis for Napoleonic law isn't it... where you have to prove your innocence and such like. Seems to work so well for France ~cough~ Hebdo.

[20:49:29] <Deucalion> Fuck it - we may have employment issues soon - every parcel or box to be delivered individually by hand... or perhaps in a wheelbarrow... and must route by the security point 100 miles away. No vehicles allowed. Everyone must walk everywhere... even horses are too dangerous to contemplate, can't have that - someone might strangle someone else with a terrorist rein attack. It's for your own good. Now here - have some more laws to make sure y

[20:52:34] <Deucalion> Terrorist - only a terrorist could possibly disagree with the obvious solution.
[20:53:42] <chromas> Nope. It's just my cultural heritage so it's okay. Heil Hitler! Don't be an Islamophobe!
[20:55:12] <Deucalion> Wait - did someone misplace the actual definition of "terrorist" along the way here? I may be mistaken... but I don't recall it covering random nutters. Something about furthering political or societal change by way of violence yaddda yada. Random bloke goes of rails and runs a few people over without saying anything does not a "terrorist" make.

[20:56:56] <chromas> Nah, terrorist == islamist now
[20:58:55] * chromas mails Deucalion the Murkin Dickshunary
[21:01:54] <Deucalion> Can you send me an updated one each day?
[21:02:39] <chromas> We don't update it that often. We've had that definition for years
[21:10:10] <Deucalion> Is the US even officially "at war" with Syria? Under what auspices does one park a bunch of boats off-shore and just lob a bunch of missiles into another nation state unannounced? I get the whole "we're the US, look how much of an arsenal we have" - that's all good and dandy, the world understands the US loves its military expenditure. But really - there comes a time to grow up and think... OK we may be the strongest, perhaps it would be co
[21:10:10] <Deucalion> ol to maybe stop blowing the shit out of things just because we can and do something constructive. I dunno - like diplomacy. Oh wait I forgot... it's the US. What the fuck is the end goal? Where's the strategy? This is just lob some explosives, wade in, kill anyone we don't understand - it'll be right we'll sort out the details later. Then leave yet another country in the midst of some godawful civil war as the local factions go at it in th

[21:11:01] <Deucalion> Many
[21:11:04] <Deucalion> Times
[21:11:05] <Deucalion> ?
[21:11:21] <chromas> All of them.
[21:11:24] <chromas> Every time
[21:12:01] <chromas> It wasn't completely unannounced. Apparently we told Russia first
[21:12:52] <Deucalion> I'm sure that's a substantiated "fact" :D
