[00:59:47] <Bytram> that should be on that page, too.
[01:00:46] <takyon> Sulla: come at me, bro
[01:01:01] * Bytram was busy trying to update story: https://soylentnews.org
[01:01:22] <takyon> (response to 8 hours ago msg)
[01:01:27] <Sulla> Was more of a compliment
[01:01:41] <Sulla> I just say shit and then you come in with the citations
[01:01:50] <Sulla> Even when not in my favor is much appreciated
[01:01:53] <takyon> bytram
[01:02:01] <takyon> kewl
[01:02:13] <Bytram> Sulla: scroll past the list of the comments you posted, and I expect you should see a list of the moderations that you had performed (note certain about that -- I see stuff on those pages that you might not)
[01:02:34] <takyon> Bytram: Someone linked this in the vuln story: hhttps://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com and I think it is connected to a submission in the list right now
[01:02:35] <upstart> ^ 03Project Zero
[01:02:35] <Bytram> takyon: what? the updated story?
[01:02:43] <Bytram> is in my update
[01:02:44] <takyon> so instead of updating the story, it might be better to just roll out another one
[01:02:52] <Bytram> too late now...

[01:03:09] <Bytram> I just spent on the order of an hour gathering sources and updating the story rather heavily
[01:03:09] <takyon> not really too late
[01:03:13] <takyon> ok

[01:03:31] <takyon> well we can just run that one tomorrow with extras added I suppose
[01:03:41] <Bytram> otoh, should I hit the button to make it Fastforward and reappear in the story queue?
[01:03:57] <takyon> might as well
[01:03:58] <Bytram> that sounds like a plan

[01:05:13] <Sulla> Appears that I do not see moderations that I have personally made. But thats fine, ill just claim I only upmod without evidence as I already posted my journal
[01:05:44] <Bytram> Sulla: No bad news is good news, eh?
[01:05:47] <Bytram> =)
[01:05:57] <takyon> Sulla: no problem, buddy. Alaska is pretty strange politically (didn't they just have a write-in Senate candidate win a few years ago?)
[01:06:20] <Bytram> The internet is a bunch of tubes!
[01:06:30] <Bytram> What WAS that senator's name?
[01:06:38] <takyon> Ted Stevens
[01:06:42] <Bytram> bingo!
[01:06:43] <takyon> not that one, he retired + died
[01:06:59] <Bytram> tried really hard to explain something that he really had no clue about.
[01:07:25] <Sulla> Yeah, merkowskie (spelling doesnt matter per state supreme court)
[01:07:26] <chromas> Internet's not a series of tube; it's a cloud
[01:07:49] * chromas stores all his things there
[01:07:53] <Sulla> Ted stevens was an interesting guy
[01:08:00] <Sulla> Always said he would die in a plane crash

[02:10:04] <Sulla> Protect pc by booting from an sd card with the physical data lock on
[02:11:00] <Bytram> have you actually *tried* that? I'd expect that updating the "last-accessed" date/time stamp for system files (for example) would require write access ==> system would not boot.
[02:11:01] <takyon_> I wonder how long the NSA has been exploiting these bugs

[03:17:49] * Bytram just finished reading it... knew I'd read it before, but had been so long ago, I'd forgotten how it turned out. Now I remember why I had read all th Asimov Sci-Fi I could get my hands on, back in the day.
[03:19:41] <Sulla> I liked asimov but I felt some of his stuff was a little too authoritarian
[03:20:06] <Bytram> so, you preferred... Heinlein?
[03:20:07] <Sulla> But im biased as I liked heinlein more.. At least when he wasnt being a degenerate
[03:20:13] <Bytram> =)
[03:20:34] <Bytram> The Moon is a Harsh Mistress is prolly my all-time favorite SF story
[03:20:47] <Sulla> Yeah
[03:21:05] <Sulla> For me its between that and "pillar to the sky"
[03:21:21] <Bytram> I don't recall reading that one.
[03:21:22] <Sulla> Pillar to the sky isnt even that good but I love space elevators
[03:21:35] * Bytram really should check out "The Cat who walked thorugh walls"...
[03:21:45] <takyon_> fuck space elevators! gimme my single-stage-to-orbit spaceplane!
[03:21:51] * Bytram was always intrigued by the title, but don't recall ever reading the story
[03:22:13] <Bytram> then you should chat with Jules Verne... To the moon and back

[03:22:43] <Sulla> F rockets
[03:22:52] <Sulla> Space pillar or space cannon
[03:23:19] <Bytram> magnetic rail gun
[03:23:57] <Sulla> Acceptable
[03:24:41] <Sulla> Writing pillar to the sky forschend went to nasa and asked for jhelp
[03:24:55] <Sulla> Determination was with current tech would cost 120billion
[03:25:20] <Bytram> I know it would take tremendous amount of $$$ to *create* one, but a launching rail gun could get a rocket up to considerable speed w/o having to rely on on-board propellant/oxidizer and so help reduce the tyrrany of the rocket equation
[03:25:52] <Bytram> how about a Tower of Babel?
[03:27:10] <takyon_> is $120 billion even a lot to be honest?
[03:27:35] <Sulla> For a space elevator? Pretty much nothing
[03:28:04] <Sulla> That was for the "building elevator" though. Assumed to me made from spools of carbon nanothread
[03:28:08] <Bytram> what a bunch of F-35s or a few aircraft carriers cost?
[03:28:25] <Sulla> By time of completion should be able to build a true working elevator out of ribbon
[03:28:34] <Bytram> or quite a bit less than some "Qualitative Easing" ??
[03:28:41] <takyon_> quite
[03:28:46] <Sulla> F35 is like what, 2-300k or m per?

[03:29:08] <Sulla> Plus solar panals for delicious energy
[03:29:21] <takyon_> F-35C: US$121.8M (LRIP 10 including engine)[8]
[03:29:47] <takyon_> Program cost US$1.508 trillion (through 2070 in then-year dollars)
[03:29:49] <Sulla> Look at program and procurement cost
[03:29:51] <Sulla> Yeah
[03:29:52] <Sulla> Fug
[03:30:05] <takyon_> yeah divert that shit to nasa all day long
[03:30:14] <Sulla> Biggest problem we currently face is nanothread limited to like 3 meters currently
[03:30:38] <Bytram> By 2014, the program was "$163 billion over budget [and] seven years behind schedule".
[03:30:39] <takyon_> I think the best way to siphon money from military to NASA is to start a Space Corps. Although that would violate a treaty or two (who cares?)
[03:31:03] <Sulla> Book had an elon musk, bezos, or gates type person personally bankroll project for 70b and then trick investors for the remaining
[03:31:12] <takyon_> get Space Corps $100 billion of funding, and almost everything they do can be dual use for NASA
[03:31:30] <Bytram> hook congress on the idea of dropping rocks from the moon by giving every member a copy of "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress"... and we'd have a space colony in no time!
[03:31:49] <Sulla> Rocks from moon does not violate russia treaty
[03:32:18] <Sulla> Pretty sure I dont want them knowing about our ability to rebel
[03:32:29] <Bytram> My favorite line from the story: "Not funny?" "Very not funny."
[03:32:36] <Fnord666_> “Starship Troopers” FTW. Where’s my power armor?
[03:32:36] <Sulla> I was kind of excited about gingrich being close to trump because he wants a moon base
[03:32:46] <Sulla> Pretty much only good thing about gingrich
[03:33:44] <takyon_> well it seems like we are getting an ISS for the moon
[03:33:44] <Fnord666_> The book, not the movie
[03:33:53] <takyon_> moon base... harder to say
[03:35:29] <takyon_> there was talk of putting those inflatable habitats on the moon

[03:49:13] <Bytram> last time I read it, was through articles posted in IF which had been uploaded to the internet archive...
[03:49:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> i got a copy round here somewheres. i usually read it bout once a year.
[03:49:49] <Bytram> but there was a mistake in the cover page vs contents or something like that, so I read it in this order: part 1, 2, 3, 5, 4. Led to some confusion on my part.
[03:50:04] * TheMightyBuzzard chuckles
[03:50:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> something ALWAYS leads to some confusion on your part. i dunno if it's a personal issue or if the world really is out to fuck with you though.

[21:03:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> okay, folks, i'm out for a while. time to put in my new power supply and hdd then copy the data from my smaller drives to it.
[21:04:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> then probably play one of those games that caused my video card to try to suck up more juice than it was getting.
[21:48:22] <Bytram> oi! Winds are not quite fast enough, but there's a storm resembling a hurricane off the northeast seaboard of the USA

[22:03:19] <Bytram> heh, according to wikipedia, the storm just reaches over the classification of being a Category 1 hurricane which requires 1-minute sustained winds of 119–131 km/h (74–82 mph)
[22:03:56] <Bytram> this is showing winds of 122 km/h: https://earth.nullschool.net

[22:29:37] <TheMightyBuzzard> Bytram, it's just a noreaster showing off
[22:29:53] <Bytram> well, it sure is putting on a show!
[22:30:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> yankees is silly like that
[22:30:46] <Bytram> Oh yeah? Let me hold your beer!
[22:31:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> wtf is X doing pegging out a core on my cpu?
[22:31:24] <Bytram> you mean x window?
[22:31:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> nod nod
[22:31:31] <Bytram> hrmmm
[22:31:38] <Bytram> whacha doin?
[22:31:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> copying a partition from one drive to another
[22:32:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> didn't think gparted made heavy use of X
[22:32:17] <Bytram> have you changed monitor or gpu ??
[22:32:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> naw
[22:32:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> power supply and added a drive.
[22:32:49] <Bytram> idea? you have another box you can send the display to?
[22:33:00] <Bytram> x is kewel for being able to do that.
[22:33:21] <Bytram> have server on your current box and run client on another one
[22:33:28] <Bytram> see where the load moves to
[22:34:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> i'll just wait till gparted finishes then close it. see if that's the prollem or if it's something really screwy.
[22:34:48] <Bytram> nod nod
[22:34:52] <Bytram> any eta on thatr?
[22:34:57] <Bytram> s/r//
[22:34:57] <upstart> <Bytram> any eta on that?
[22:35:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> 3%
[22:35:25] <Bytram> completed? ro still to go?
[22:35:29] <Bytram> s/ro/or/
[22:35:29] <upstart> <Bytram> completed? or still to go?
[22:35:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> 1%
[22:35:36] <Bytram> ah, nearly done
[22:36:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, that was apparently it
[22:37:05] <Bytram> makes no sense that it would hit on the display like that... unless it was going way overboard trying to update progress bar?
[22:37:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> prolly was. sometimes ya get shitty coding like that.
[22:37:54] <Bytram> could be.
[22:38:12] <Bytram> so long as the task is i/o limited... who cares if it also hits on the display/cpu? :P
[22:38:24] * TheMightyBuzzard debates resizing his winders partition while he's at it
[22:39:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah. i'll just get rid of some unnecessary shit on it instead.
[22:39:46] * Bytram scans craigs list to see if he can snag a deal on a box he could install linux on
[22:41:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> 16GB of swap should be plenty. i don't plan on ever using hibernate.
[22:41:52] <Bytram> hmmm, Dell Latitude E6401 i% 2.53 GHz 4GB RAM, Win 7 Pro, 250 GB hard disk... for $160

[22:42:02] <upstart> <Bytram> hmmm, Dell Latitude E6401 i5 2.53 GHz 4GB RAM, Win 7 Pro, 250 GB hard disk... for $160
[22:43:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> welcome to it. intel is having a rough time lately.
[22:43:30] <Bytram> yup, /me noticed.
[22:43:58] <Bytram> am giving up waiting for AMD to come out with a new laptop chip with integrated GPU
[22:44:25] <Bytram> especially since the recent developments means they are not going to be able to keep up with demand
[22:44:38] * TheMightyBuzzard scratches his head
[22:44:49] * Bytram scratches his butt
[22:45:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> they got ryzen laptops with integrated gpus out since december or so.
[22:45:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> not many, mind, but a few
[22:45:45] * Bytram is torn between getting a cheap box to play on, or... a more capable rig that can drive a 4k display, that is still portable and [somewhat] performant
[22:45:58] * Bytram doesn't game... just want acres of space for text display.

[22:46:11] <Bytram> clicky
[22:47:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> i got spare 250GB and 320GB laptop hdds if ya want. they're gonna be massively slower than a comparably sized ssd though.
[22:50:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> grah. stupid thing. i gotta make it a gpt disk.
[22:50:12] * Bytram currently has a 500 GB WD... black, I think.
[22:50:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> i meant if you get the $160 lappy
[22:50:43] <Bytram> oh? Oh!
[22:51:19] <Bytram> battery on my current lappy died, so I just leave it plugged in and it seems to be happy with that
[22:51:34] * Bytram should prolly consider getting a new UPS for it, though
[22:52:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> pshaw. any computer that can't handle the occasional power interruption deserves what it gets.
[22:52:46] <Bytram> !grab TheMightyBuzzard
[22:52:46] <Bender> Added quote 853
[22:54:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> i mean if i can handle someone coming up and talking to me while i'm coding without killing anyone, a computer can deal with a little power interruption.
[22:54:08] * Bytram should prolly see to getting his car tuned up before planning to spend $$ on computey stuff
[22:54:31] * Bytram reaches over and briefly unplugs TheMightyBuzzard's computer
[22:55:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> ha! shows you! my new power supply's so 1337 it don't even gotta be plugged in!
[22:55:30] * Bytram feeds the hamster running on the wheel
[22:58:34] <Bytram> time to make dinner... afk
[22:59:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, not a bad idea
[23:04:30] <chromas> AT&T rolling out 5g by the end of the year, while 4g still hasn't come out yet
[23:06:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> it'll be some gimped up, half-assed implementation of 5g. same as LTE ain't really 4g.
[23:07:45] <chromas> Sprint had 4g. But then it wasn't real 4g. Damn goalposts keep movin'
[23:08:31] * chromas waits for 5g lte
[23:08:42] <chromas> then bieber 6g
