[12:30:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> i spect so. barring rain.
[12:31:04] * Bytram prays for snow
[12:31:10] <boru> Roll on Winter, I say.
[12:31:15] <Bytram> ROFL!
[12:31:22] <Bytram> hmm

[12:32:28] <Bytram> boru++
[12:32:28] <Bender> karma - boru: 14
[12:32:32] <boru> -19. That's morelike it.
[12:33:06] <boru> ~weather Krasnoyarsk
[12:33:08] <exec> 10Krasnoyarsk, Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia - currently 66°F / 19°C, mostly sunny, wind S at 4 mph, humidity 41% - Friday scattered showers (52°F:67°F / 11°C:19°C), Saturday scattered thunderstorms (56°F:74°F / 13°C:23°C), Sunday partly cloudy (52°F:70°F / 11°C:21°C), Monday mostly cloudy (51°F:69°F / 11°C:21°C)
[12:33:21] <boru> I could handle 19C at 41% RH.
[12:33:38] <boru> I was there in Winter. Quite a bit more humid.
[12:33:47] <Bytram> yeah, that ain't bad. I went skiing once when it was -25F / -32C
[12:34:17] <boru> Aye, Kamchatka was ~-35C at night when I was there.
[12:34:36] <boru> When you're using snow as insulation, you know it's cold.
[12:34:52] <boru> The windchill was pretty harsh.
[12:34:53] <Bytram> good point
[12:35:03] <Bytram> windchill--
[12:35:03] <Bender> karma - windchill: -3
[12:35:18] <boru> -3 ain't that cold.
[12:35:44] <Bytram> As I was going down the trail, there was a part of me saying "It's cold... gotta slow down to cut the wind chill" and another part saying "It's cold... hurry up and get to the lodge!"
[12:36:11] <boru> Aye, windchill can be pretty harsh, especially at high altitude.
[12:36:26] <boru> It was like having needles driven into your face.
[12:36:56] <boru> I'd really like to Winter in the US.
[12:37:25] <boru> One of you lot should give me a visa/GC sponsorship.
[12:37:54] <Bytram> as luck would have it, you'd prolly end up in miami
[12:37:59] <boru> I'd work 11 months of the year, and take May off to go storm chasing.
[12:38:08] <boru> I think that I would die in Miami.
[12:38:34] <Bytram> could be *multiple* reasons for that
[12:39:09] <boru> Alligators?
[12:39:18] <boru> Waterspouts?
[12:39:20] * Bytram turned down a co-op assignment at IBM's PC dev site in Boca Raton, FL... in 1982. :(
[12:39:26] <boru> Alligatorspouts?
[12:39:43] <Bytram> allispouts
[12:39:58] <boru> Ah, that is the technical term. I see.
[12:40:08] <Bytram> well, there is a reputation for having a robust drug trade
[12:40:27] <boru> Aye.
[12:41:01] <boru> I'd been looking at Washington state most recently, but I'd settle for Arizona, or Utah or Wyoming or somewhere like that.
[12:41:44] * Bytram spent a week in miami a while ago... was astonished to be able to go into the ocean and feel comfortable (atm, the water temp near me is 58F -- Brrr!)
[12:42:08] <Bytram> avoiding large collections of people?
[12:42:40] <Bytram> might want to check out northern New England, too.
[12:42:54] <boru> ~convert 58F to C
[12:42:55] <exec> 03syntax: ~convert <amount> <from_unit> <to_unit>
[12:43:03] <boru> ~convert 58 F C
[12:43:04] <exec> 0358°F = 14.444°C
[12:43:09] <Bytram> 14.4C
[12:43:09] <boru> Pft, that's warm!
[12:43:17] <Bytram> for swimming?
[12:43:25] <boru> Absolutely!
[12:43:37] <Bytram> hypothermia in about 10 minutes, if that.
[12:43:44] <boru> NEATL gets cooler than that.
[12:43:45] <Bytram> okay, maybe 20
[12:44:01] <Bytram> ~g NEATL
[12:44:03] <exec> [google] https://www.anagrammer.com
[12:44:15] <boru> North East ATLantic.
[12:44:19] <Bytram> nod nod
[12:44:22] <Bytram> hmm
[12:48:02] <Bytram> Hey! It worked! Wasn't sure if they had that built-in: https://earth.nullschool.net
[12:49:02] <Bytram> this view is pretty neat, too: https://earth.nullschool.net
[12:49:06] <boru> If you're a weather freak like me, check out grx level3 or zygrib.
[12:49:13] <boru> Free GRIB data.
[12:50:33] <Bytram> where is/are that/those?
[12:51:21] <boru> They're programs. Zygrib is FOSS, though.
[12:51:44] <boru> If you don't have your own RX, you can just download the grib data from the NOAA servers.
[12:52:18] <boru> On an unrelated note, one thing I abhor is the prominence of txt-speak in company emails these days.
[12:52:39] <boru> One more 'pls' or 'r u' and someone's leaving through the window.
[12:54:46] <Bytram> nod nod... eye no watt ewe mien!
[12:57:19] <boru> They're typing at a bloody keyboard, too.
[12:58:56] <Bytram> yep, more focussed on how quickly they can say what they want to say, rather than make the message as clear as possible to the recipient.
[13:02:42] <boru> I should reply with 1337.
[13:03:31] <Bytram> =)
[13:04:00] <Bytram> but only do the leet-speak after translating your response to Klingon

[18:38:24] * Bytram is confused about domain names and expiration dates
[18:39:01] <Bytram> this: whois chat.soylentnews.org
[18:39:23] <Bytram> gives me actual information about the domain, when it was established, when it expires, tech contact, etc.
[18:39:45] <Bytram> but, this: whois chat.sylnt.us
[18:40:00] <Bytram> gives me: "Not found: CHAT.SYLNT.US"
[18:40:03] <Bytram> ???
[18:40:26] <chromas> same here
[18:40:38] <Bytram> ok, so it is not just me.
[18:40:41] <Bytram> hmmm
[18:40:44] <chromas> no whois but it's got an A record
[18:40:56] <Bytram> ping chat.sylnt.us
[18:41:10] <Bytram> gives me:
[18:41:10] <Bytram> 64 bytes from mail.soylentnews.org (72.14.184.41): icmp_seq=1 ttl=63 time=0.468 ms
[18:41:13] <Bytram> etc.
[18:41:59] <chromas> Also chat.soylentnews.org has an ipv6 address while chat.sylnt.us doesn't
[18:42:31] <Bytram> interesting, but I don't think that has anything to do with it(??)
[18:42:35] <chromas> also irc.* works the same
[18:42:54] <Bytram> yep
[18:42:56] <chromas> No but it's some irrelevant information
[18:43:32] <Bytram> it all started when I found these: https://crt.sh AND https://crt.sh
[18:43:43] <Bytram> agreed on being relevant
[18:43:47] <chromas> maybe the .us registrar doesn't like talking
[18:44:23] <Bytram> wrote up a quick script to retrieve those, extract the domains, and do a whois on the unique names to see when they all expire
[18:44:47] <Bytram> all happy happy with all variations of: *.soylentnews.org
[18:45:04] <chromas> I'm getting not found on chat.soylentnews.org now
[18:45:07] <Bytram> but, with sylnt.us only the top level domain had any useful response
[18:45:38] <Bytram> Huh! me too.
[18:46:01] <chromas> Maybe NCommander heard you and he's tinkering
[18:47:34] <Bytram> strange.... when I ping chat.soylentnews.org I get replies from mail.soylentnews.org !!?!
[18:48:04] <chromas> they all seem to have the same address
[18:48:19] * chromas puts coffee in Bytram's pinger
[18:48:41] <Bytram> actually, I was about to take a nap -- make it decaf, please?
[18:48:53] <chromas> too late
[18:49:02] <chromas> *ping* *ping* *ping* *ping* *ping*
[18:49:35] <Bytram> my turn?
[18:49:36] <Bytram> chromas *ping* chromas *ping* chromas *ping* chromas *ping* chromas *ping*
[18:49:43] <Bytram> ;)
[18:50:40] <Bytram> well, for sylnt.us we have: Domain Expiration Date: Sat Feb 10 23:59:59 GMT 2018
[18:52:33] <Bytram> and the *soylentnews.org ones all expire 2018-02-09T01:50:26Z
[18:52:53] <Bytram> so, we are probably not going to sun into a problem for a while. =)
[18:53:10] <Bytram> chromas: many thanks for the assist!
[18:53:23] <chromas> You're welcome and sorry about the coffee
[18:53:33] * chromas secretly laughs
[18:53:50] <Bytram> no problem! Would you like "more soup" ??
