[00:34:12] <chromas> Also need 5318008
[00:34:22] <chromas> Then pick up your screen and turn it over
[00:36:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> that would pose a problem if i had my 40" set as my primary desktop.
[00:37:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> hrm... my cpu's running over 50C during h264 encoding. must be time to blow the dust off again.
[00:38:06] * chromas wheels an air compressor into the channel
[00:39:51] <TheMightyBuzzard> you say that in jest but i've hauled my tower out to the shop building and done exactly that before. you just need a doodad to catch the water inline.

[00:44:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> fuck that. four is plenty.

[00:53:31] <fyngyrz> ya gotta watch air compressors for cleaning; high speed air can produce extremely high voltage static
[00:54:44] <fyngyrz> and ESD is insidious... punchs a tiny hole in a MOS layer, which then takes months to enlarge and finally stuff busts outright
[00:55:26] * fyngyrz hates ESD
[01:00:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> no worries. i make sure to always ground myself by petting several cats before handling components.
[01:16:55] <fyngyrz> there you go
[01:16:58] <fyngyrz> {cats}
[01:16:59] <fungus> The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long.
[01:19:37] <TheMightyBuzzard> what's that got to do with cats?
[01:20:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> i mean i could see "fu, i'm taking a bath/nap" or something
[01:21:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh hey, i skipped my nap. i can totally justify a half hour early bedtime tonight!
[01:21:58] * TheMightyBuzzard fucks off
[01:22:36] <fyngyrz> cats live short lives, and are much more interesting and fun than people, that's what
[01:23:21] <chromas> I wouldn't say they're more interesting. They don't even have emojis
[01:23:34] <fyngyrz> sure they do
[01:23:38] <fyngyrz> it'
[01:23:50] <fyngyrz> it's just that they're all turd emojis
[01:24:07] <fyngyrz> well, and there are vomit emojis, too
[01:27:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> and u+1f595 but that's implied all the time

[10:46:16] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Maine Supreme Court Approves Ranked-Choice Voting for 2018 Elections - http://sylnt.us - democracy
[11:10:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> boru, i have no idea what that means
[11:23:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> ugh, feels like a 1.5g of caffeine morning.
[11:23:54] <AndyTheAbsurd> lowbetaangle = "low beta angle"
[11:23:58] <AndyTheAbsurd> #g beta angle
[11:23:58] <MrPlow> https://en.wikipedia.org - "The beta angle is a measurement that is used most notably in spaceflight. The beta angle determines the percentage of time an object such as a spacecraft in low Earth orbit (LEO) spends in direct sunlight, absorbing solar energy. Beta angle is defined as the angle between the orbital plane of the spacecraft and the vector ..."
[11:23:59] <upstart> ^ 03Beta angle - Wikipedia
[11:25:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> ahh. in that case: i find your lack of space disturbing.

[11:26:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> nicotine++
[11:26:47] <Bender> karma - nicotine: 607
[11:27:33] * boru chuckles.
[11:27:36] <AndyTheAbsurd> I originally parsed it as "lowbe taangle" and thought it was Dutch.
[11:27:52] <boru> Also reasonable.
[11:38:02] <TheMightyBuzzard> okay, break magnesium or take my boat out?
[11:38:25] <boru> Break it as in perform fission?
[11:39:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> naw, update it to a new gentoo profile and compiler version and update every single package hoping nothing goes wrong.
[11:39:46] <boru> Is the update necessary?
[11:40:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> bunch of security updates among other things.
[11:40:30] <boru> That's probably the only reason for updates, other than system stability.
[11:40:51] <boru> I don't get this linuxy must-update-everything-every-day mentality.
[11:40:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> but yes, the profile is deprecated and future packages aren't obliged to make allowances for gcc <= v6
[11:41:16] <boru> I can't think of anything which would be at risk there.
[11:41:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> well security updates are a lot more common than they are on say winders.
[11:41:51] <TheMightyBuzzard> and if i don't get it to the new profile it can't necessarily get those updates.
[11:41:57] <boru> Sure, but from the BSD ivory tower on the -RELEASE branch, it's necessity only, bar ports.
[11:42:23] <boru> Annoying that they force you to bump compiler version.
[11:42:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> yar. linux mixes feature updates in with security updates quite often.
[11:43:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> well they only do it every several years. it just so happens that this is one of those times.

[11:43:19] <cmn32480> ~gday that
[11:43:20] <cmn32480> ~gday TheMightyBuzzard
[11:43:21] * exec slowly pilfers a barrage of vectors from that
[11:43:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> ~gday cmn32480
[11:43:28] * exec spontaneously experiences a pint of buttered toast with cmn32480
[11:43:33] <cmn32480> ~gday TheMightyBuzzard
[11:43:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> i think you broke exec
[11:43:52] <cmn32480> 'parently
[11:43:59] <cmn32480> I thought I spelled it wrong
[11:44:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> ~gday TheMightyBuzzard
[11:44:18] * exec hideously internalizes an assload of chocolate milf in TheMightyBuzzard
[11:44:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> there
[11:44:23] <boru> ~gday exec
[11:44:25] <cmn32480> ~gday TheMightyBuzzard
[11:44:28] * exec curiously uninstalls a pipe of filthy lucre from exec
[11:44:29] * exec clumsily copies an assfull of chocolate rain for TheMightyBuzzard
[11:44:35] * cmn32480 shurgs
[11:44:37] <TheMightyBuzzard> lotsa chocolate for me!
[11:44:46] <boru> Fresh from the source!
[11:45:09] <cmn32480> ~gday boru
[11:45:11] * exec single-candidly hucks a goblet of beef stock at boru
[11:45:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> on the one hand, this shit does need to get done and i've been putting it off for quite a while.
[11:45:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> on the other hand, nobody's going to give a shit if it gets updated today or next month because we aren't using it for anything right now.
[11:46:37] <cmn32480> i care
[11:46:50] <boru> ~gday cmn32480
[11:46:52] * exec definitely culturally enriches an ExFAT volume of dancing baby with cmn32480
[11:47:01] <boru> I'll take the beef stock.
[11:47:11] <cmn32480> agreed
[11:47:51] <AndyTheAbsurd> I care *deeply* that SN's systems have all their security updates.
[11:48:06] <AndyTheAbsurd> ~gday y'all
[11:48:08] * exec deliciously piles a loaded diaper of weeds on y'all
[11:49:40] <boru> Oh, this is a 'Net facing machine?
[11:57:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> boru, it's an unused load balancer that we don't currently have a use for.
[11:58:07] <boru> Ah, right.
[11:58:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> only thing not filtered out from public access by iptables is nginx
[11:58:51] <TheMightyBuzzard> well and icmp
[11:59:48] <boru> I should really fix some arm64 FreeBSD bugs so I can set up my server at home again.
[12:00:07] <boru> I bought one of those overdrive 1k machines.
[12:00:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> really, i'd like to get it updated and swap the dns entries for soylentnews.org. to point to it. then decommission sodium (the ubuntu load balancer we're currently using).
[12:00:29] <boru> FreeBSD boots, but there are some GELI and ZFS issues I've encountered so far that need fixing.
[12:00:43] <boru> The GELI stuff is very intel-coupled, so it needs some ARM love.
[12:00:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> better you than me
[12:01:06] <boru> Gentoo for production is a questionable choice, imho, man.
[12:01:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> better than an ubuntu release that's going to quit getting any updates at all soon.
[12:01:39] <boru> Oh yeah, agreed on that score.
[12:03:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> gentoo's solid enough if you can get past the "hey, lets compile ALL OF THE THINGS" annoyance and you keep up with the errata.
[12:04:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> all the packages magnesium needs got built yesterday on dev too, so it shouldn't be terribly painful since it should be an all binary packages install.
[12:06:31] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Salmonella & Illnesses: 206 Million Eggs Recalled - http://sylnt.us - yuck
[12:06:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> okay, checking the latest wind speeds predictions then deciding.
[12:08:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> damnit, that didn't help. they're going to be right around max wind speeds my boat can handle.
[12:10:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> that tomorrow's going to be ten degrees warmer and a whole lot calmer wind-wise makes me want to go then but that the pressure is rising today makes me want to go today.
[12:11:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> work: 0, play: 1
[12:11:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> rather work: 1, play: 2
[12:11:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> #roll 1d2
[12:11:52] <MrPlow> pass 1: 2
[12:12:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> fate has spoken i guess
[12:20:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> aight. enough ass-sitting. i've got a boat to get ready and trash to get to the curb.
