[02:10:37] <Runaway1956> That Aristarchus submission? Utter shit. Inflammatory, divisive, and lacking in any substance.

[02:14:13] <chromas> Runaway1956: the Nazis congregating?
[02:14:48] <chromas> I figured it was an attempt at trolling tmb
[02:14:59] <chromas> (even though he's not an editor)
[02:15:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> it's really hard to tell if he believes the nonsense he spouts or if he's trolling at any given point
[02:16:15] <Runaway1956> He probably believes at least some of the underlying message, but NO ONE can believe every detail.
[02:17:05] <Runaway1956> Oh, jesus - I just made a stupid typo, and handed Ari and company a box of ammunition . . .
[02:17:40] * TheMightyBuzzard chuckles
[02:17:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> typos is just part of the internet

[02:19:27] <Runaway1956> Did you pick up the wrong lighter?
[02:19:52] <Runaway1956> never mind, dark blue hiding in the shadows under the monitor . . .
[02:21:22] <Runaway1956> I'm going to go kill some aliens. Maybe I'll get Aristarchus or part of his family.
[02:21:35] <Sulla> Did I miss some good stuff
[02:22:02] <Sulla> What exactly as a white male do I need to do to not be a nazi? Kill myself or something?
[02:22:24] <Runaway1956> Oh, just Aristarchus masturbating on the US flag, That is "good stuff" in the US today.
[02:22:39] <Sulla> Oh good
[02:22:45] <Runaway1956> And, no, killing yourself woudln't be enough
[02:23:11] <Runaway1956> You must submit to gang rapes by blacks who are muslim
[02:23:14] <Sulla> In that topic about brietbart?
[02:23:23] <Sulla> Or did he post a new journal
[02:23:26] <Runaway1956> THEN you might be redeemed for your father's sins
[02:23:36] <Runaway1956> Yes, the breitbart thing
[02:24:06] <Runaway1956> I don't even have blood pressure problems, but my ears are turning red from reading that shit
[02:24:29] <Sulla> Hah
[02:24:38] <Sulla> Sad that I was out waxing my truck then
[02:25:37] <TheMightyBuzzard> Sulla, there's no hope for you. might as well paint your car like the general lee and enjoy it.
[02:26:09] <Sulla> If I was a little more redneck (and willing to be fired) I would have drove around with a maga flag afte the election
[02:26:22] <Sulla> But I suspect I would have been stabbed to death
[02:26:27] <Sulla> Tolerant leftist eugene
[02:27:26] <Sulla> Although I voted daryl perry, glad how it turned out.
[02:27:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> if you were a little more redneck you'd have a knife of your own and likely a gun, so getting stabbed ain't that big a worry.
[02:27:49] <Sulla> So far we have lasted 10 months and no war with iran
[02:27:51] <Sulla> True that
[02:28:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> i don't even go take a morning piss without my pocket knife, cause you never know when you'll need one.
[02:28:56] <Sulla> Were there more great posts on moderater bias?
[02:29:06] <Sulla> Getting tired of that shit
[02:29:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> didn't notice any but people always gonna whine when they don't get their way.
[02:30:51] <Sulla> My only reget when I called out the mod pro animal bias is that I forgot to call out the alt-animal TM Buzzard
[02:31:18] * TheMightyBuzzard nods sagely

[02:40:09] <Sulla> So what are some good general news sites out there? I was using google news up until the memo thing, been unsure where to go ever since
[02:43:26] <chromas> Bing news
[02:44:23] <Sulla> Such quality trade
[02:44:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> no idea. i don't read general news.
[02:45:02] <TheMightyBuzzard> i read tech news and occasionally get told what's going on in the world by actual in person people.
[02:45:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh, wait, i do skim through RT once a week or so.
[02:46:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> mostly i just look at the dozens of stories in the feed and say "meh. too much politics. *mark all read*"
[02:46:50] <chromas> Facebook tranding
[02:47:01] <chromas> Or trending. Who am I to assume its trender?
[02:47:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> chromas, are you afraid of transformers?

[02:55:21] <Sulla> RT is pretty reasonable when you take the bias into account
[02:55:30] <Sulla> At least they tend to report on most things
[02:56:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> yup yup. they don't have skin in the intra-national game we're playing here, so their bias is easier to deal with.
[02:58:16] <chromas> They're hacking our minds!
[02:59:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> can't be. i read their feed in plaintext.
[02:59:58] * TheMightyBuzzard has never been certain of his internal html/css/js libs
[03:00:26] <Sulla> Pretty much russia wants to be a regional powet and have influence over their area
[03:00:35] <Sulla> Just like our monroe doctrine
[03:02:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh rest assured they want to be every bit as powerful as the USSR was. that's the stretch goal though.
[03:05:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> aight. it's an hour past my bedtime. i'm out.
[03:07:15] <Bytram> time for me to hit the hay, as well.

[12:29:22] <boru> The BSD package also has cowthink, as well as multiple cows. Not sure if it's the same source as lunix packages, but I don't see why it wouldn't be.
[12:29:50] <AndyTheAbsurd> It should be - IIRC, it's written in Perl so should be relatively portable.
[12:33:24] <boru> On an unrelated note, I have a new solution-looking-for-a-problem peeve: Displaylink. What a pointless piece of shit.
[12:33:45] <boru> Even moreso than crap like optimus.
[12:34:48] <AndyTheAbsurd> ...video over USB?
[12:34:51] * AndyTheAbsurd vomits
[12:34:54] <boru> Yes.
[12:34:59] <boru> It is a bloody abomination.
[12:38:10] <boru> Much like optimus, the developers commit half-arsed implementations into lunix and then forget about it.
[12:39:22] <boru> Why laptop vendors think it's a good idea to not put any external display ports on their products is beyond me.
[12:39:48] <boru> "Here, have two USB ports, but you have to use one of them for this PoS displaylink technology. Please continue to buy our products!"
[12:40:47] <AndyTheAbsurd> I can sum that up for you in a word: Apple.
[12:41:07] <boru> Indeed. Dell in this case.
[12:41:17] <boru> But lenovo are guilty of this, as well.
[12:41:41] <boru> It seems there isn't a decent lappy mfr left on the planet, ergo, I'll probably have to build my next one myself.
[12:42:23] <AndyTheAbsurd> Yes, but it was Apple who started the "let's make the device look cooler, do less, and charge more for it" trend by reducing the MacBook Air down to some tiny number of ports. And I think the current ones have a single USB-C connector on them.
[12:43:00] <boru> Well, apple lusers deserve it.
[12:43:22] <boru> Actually, I think this dell lappy has a thunderbolt connector on it, as well. Wtf.
[12:51:08] * TheMightyBuzzard reads the scrollback and chuckles in paulej72's direction
[12:58:51] <TheMightyBuzzard> blerg. i'm not doing anything productive today. maybe tomorrow.
[12:59:08] <boru> Lucky you.
[12:59:28] <boru> I could sleep in a chain harrow, today.
[13:01:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> i really need to get on the gentoo dev vm but i'm just not up to dealing with wonky-arsed rehash issues today.

[20:04:41] <cmn32480> I've been dumping one at a time in jsut to cause angst
[20:13:45] <pinchy> so whats the rant above about display port? I havent owned a laptop in 10 yrs. Are they not providing a HDMI port like sane ppl?
[20:14:05] <pinchy> have to dual purpose a usb port?
[20:14:43] <cmn32480> depends on the laptop
[20:14:49] <cmn32480> some have Display poort
[20:14:54] <cmn32480> some have HDMI
[20:15:03] <cmn32480> som have mini versions of somethign or other
[20:18:21] <Sulla> My new thinkpad only has mini display port
[20:18:24] <Sulla> Awful
[20:18:54] <Sulla> By "new" I mean 2012
[20:25:56] <boru> Not display port, displaylink.
[20:26:20] <cmn32480> display link is a wonderful technology
[20:26:31] <boru> You monster.
[20:26:53] <cmn32480> I love it
[20:26:59] <cmn32480> saved me a shitload of work
[20:27:02] <cmn32480> twice
[20:27:13] <cmn32480> I'm typing to you on a display link monitor right now!
[20:27:21] <boru> /ignore cmn32480
[20:27:43] <cmn32480> also have a portable USB powered 15.6" LCD
[20:27:47] <cmn32480> boru
[20:27:53] <cmn32480> don't youlove me anymore?
[20:28:01] <cmn32480> BSD is for fuckers
[20:28:06] <boru> Please stop, I've just had dinner.
[20:28:40] <cmn32480> lol
[20:30:02] <cmn32480> so what exactly is your issue with Display link?
[20:32:21] <boru> It's a solution looking for a problem, terrible implementation, comically bad bandwidth, uses up valuable USB ports, it's an abuse of the USB protocol, input lag due to USB overhead...
[20:33:17] <boru> The company themselves are absolutely not interested in providing working implementations for anything other than windows.
[20:33:56] <cmn32480> so far.. no arguments..
[20:34:07] * cmn32480 is typing on Windows just for spite
[20:34:12] <pinchy> ok wikipedia says its a software solution to repurpose the usb port for sending video stuff
[20:35:06] <pinchy> i take it u need a monitor that can receive this specially concocted data off of a usb link?
[20:36:21] <cmn32480> nope.
[20:36:30] <cmn32480> the boxes usually put out in VGA or DVI
[20:36:36] <pinchy> sound slike those network based KVM switches?
[20:36:44] <cmn32480> yep
[20:36:46] <pinchy> where they shove all the key, mouse and video over netowrk
[20:37:09] <cmn32480> but when your laptop dosck only supports 2 monitors, and you need a third... it is a viable solution
[20:37:10] <boru> You need a device that you plug your USB into, and that has video outputs.
[20:37:12] <pinchy> oh you have to buy a special displaylink box to plug into usb?
[20:37:17] <pinchy> ok gotcha
[20:37:19] <boru> You know, instead of just having video outputs.
[20:38:01] <pinchy> haha so what is borus beef with Dlink
[20:38:09] <pinchy> " terrible implementation, comically bad bandwidth,"
[20:38:34] <pinchy> i bet u could say the same about those network KVM thingys
[20:39:10] <cmn32480> DLink is a diffdernt brand... that boru probably has issues with too
[20:39:22] <boru> You're damn right I do.
[20:39:36] * cmn32480 contains his surprise in a thimble
[20:40:13] <boru> Their security record is abominable.

[20:41:30] <boru> Also known as a video bandwidth restrictor/USB port blocking device.
[20:41:34] * cmn32480 tries to find Boru a USB 1.1
[20:42:52] <boru> Perhaps they make them for serial ports as well. DVI over 115k uart.
[20:43:15] <cmn32480> possible.. but whre are you finding a serial port these days... if you are gonna buy a card might as well eget a video card
[20:43:26] <cmn32480> we can do that over USB too
[20:43:53] * boru rolls eyes.
[20:44:13] * cmn32480 picks up borus eyes and hands them back to keep them from rolling off the table
[20:44:16] <pinchy> i figured theres prolly a ton of video out of USB products, what makes d link the de facto?
[20:44:18] <chromas> dvi-over-usb-over-serial
[20:44:44] <boru> The 'S' in USB stands for serial...
[20:45:12] <chromas> Yeah but does anyone use "serial port" for usb?
[20:45:29] <boru> Of course.
[20:45:47] <cmn32480> usb to serial adapters are a must for any netowkr guys' kit
[20:45:50] <chromas> and do the old serial ports have an actual name besides serial?
[20:45:58] <pinchy> old stuff thats timing critical with usb seems to always fail with those usb2serial adapaters
[20:46:00] <boru> Yes.
[20:46:12] <chromas> the protocol I mean, not the connector
[20:46:21] <boru> RS232
[20:46:55] <chromas> hm I thought that was the connector

[20:47:05] <boru> That's DB{9.25}
[20:47:15] <boru> DB{9,25}, even.
[20:47:42] <cmn32480> ok
[20:47:43] <cmn32480> time to go
[20:47:44] * chromas wonders if Europeans swap periods and commas in language like they do numbers
[20:47:58] <boru> You're not familiar with that syntax?
[20:47:59] <cmn32480> ~gnight #soylent
[20:48:01] * exec theoretically planks a rar archive of hashlists for #soylent
[20:48:05] <boru> ~gnight cmn32480
[20:48:07] * exec suspiciously pesters a dire ear of oranges with cmn32480
[20:48:58] <chromas> I'm familiar with them swapping those characters in numbers (dot for thousands, comma for fractions); thought it would be amusing if they did it in sentences too
[20:49:15] <chromas> Your correction of yourself just made me think of it
[20:49:37] <boru> Ah, right. AFAIK, it's just numerical, and I only know of its use by Germans.
[20:49:46] * chromas distracts from the rs232 thing
[20:50:19] <pinchy> why didnt the rs422 or whatever catch on? the differential signal serial
[20:50:39] <pinchy> supposed to allow faster speed and longer distance
[20:51:02] * chromas puts in a pci-to-pcie adapter with an isa-to-pci adapter with an rs232 card for hdmi-over-usb-over-rs232
[20:51:56] <Sulla> What laptop dock only supports 2 monitors?
[20:52:02] <chromas> pinchy: usb-over-ethernet :D
[20:52:32] <pinchy> oh yea i remember see those
[20:53:05] <boru> I'm quite sure that USB3.0 specifies PCIe-over-USB.
[20:53:11] <boru> Amongst other things.
[20:53:25] <boru> It's a truly awful spec.
[20:53:41] <pinchy> hah now that i think about it we used those at an old job. iirc it was software only. it had a driver capture the USB data from a pc and send it over the network
[20:53:46] * chromas invents parallel-usb
[20:54:19] <pinchy> it was kind of wonky to setup but worked pretty good when u needed it. I think I used it for remote VMs
