[00:11:02] <MrPlow> http://anseladams.com - "From its origin in 1902 in a tent in the California wilderness, Best's Studio, dba The Ansel Adams Gallery, has evolved into a center that celebrates the arts and the natural grandeur of our environment."

[00:17:21] <pinchy> pretty bad reviews https://www.amazon.com
[00:18:21] <pinchy> "If babbling incoherence and twisted understanding of a religion are what you're looking for you found the right book. Another POS that wastes paper... I can only surmise she received a teaching position by playing the female muslim diversity card"

[00:42:55] <upstart> ^ 03Zelle, the Banks’ Answer to Venmo, Proves Vulnerable to Fraud - The New York Times
[00:51:21] <AndyTheAbsurd> LOL, my bank keeps trying to get me to sign up for that
[00:52:04] <AndyTheAbsurd> /bin/sh: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''
[00:52:04] <AndyTheAbsurd> /bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file
[00:52:11] <AndyTheAbsurd> ...dammit.
[00:52:39] <AndyTheAbsurd> And I'm all like
[00:52:44] <AndyTheAbsurd> ┌∩┐(◣_◢)┌∩┐
[00:56:36] <chromas> I bet it could be fixed with blockchain
[00:56:44] <chromas> I don't know how, but blockchain
[00:57:39] <AndyTheAbsurd> actually traditional banks are a problem space where blockchain actually makes some amount of sense
[00:57:53] <fyngyrz> blockchain and fakenews. That'll do it.
[00:58:23] <AndyTheAbsurd> since you always need to know who gave money to who, in what amount, with an irreversible chain of "custody" of the money
[00:58:55] <AndyTheAbsurd> the problem you run into, though, is that a lot of the money in the banking system is actually entirely imaginary.
[00:59:32] <AndyTheAbsurd> now...what non-standard port should I put my webDAV server on?
[00:59:37] <fyngyrz> I'm really not sure I need to know who had the money before the person who gave it to me. In fact, I think it's a monumentally bad idea.
[00:59:53] <fyngyrz> 442! It'll NEVER collide there!
[00:59:58] <AndyTheAbsurd> *you* don't - but the *bank* does.
[01:00:15] <AndyTheAbsurd> As in, they have a legal requirement to know who they're doing business with
[01:00:42] <fyngyrz> As in, they shouldn't.
[01:00:53] <AndyTheAbsurd> If they accept money from, say, a known terrorist, and haven't done their due diligence, they get hit with a sufficiently hefty fine that it's cheaper to do the due diligence.
[01:01:05] <fyngyrz> yes, but again, they shouldn't.
[01:01:13] <chromas> Did they ever get hit with hefty fines for accepting money from terrorists?
[01:01:21] <fyngyrz> interesting question
[01:02:40] <TheMightyBuzzard> AndyTheAbsurd, port 58008, of course
[01:04:01] <fyngyrz> So. You have a hundred dollar bill. You might know who gave it to you. You have no idea where it was prior. That's how money should work. Always. IMHO.
[01:04:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> damn. now i need to figure out a reason for SN to use port 58008
[01:04:19] <fyngyrz> Bar of gold, dollar bill, diamond, etc.
[01:04:35] <fyngyrz> point it at dev/null :)
[01:05:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> no, we need to show our 58008
[01:05:28] <fyngyrz> Just echo back "storing your data securely" every newline/<br>
[01:05:45] <fyngyrz> You can call it the "cloud" port
[01:05:59] <AndyTheAbsurd> TheMightyBuzzard: well, LastPass is shutting down Xmarks (cross-browser bookmark sharing extension) on May 1; but apparently all it needs is a WebDAV server. You could provide a SN-branded version of that service.
[01:06:47] <fyngyrz> ...that produces only goat.cx... as a service, y'see
[01:07:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> AndyTheAbsurd, i couldn't do that. one of these days chromas might be an admin. no bookmark would be SFW ever again.
[01:07:58] <fyngyrz> There's a sub on flickr... it's a bunch of shots where people get photographed on their first encounter with goatse... it's hilarious.

[01:10:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> i can definitely see where one might find humor there but i prefer to make my own entertainment of that variety
[01:10:37] <TheMightyBuzzard> it's just more satisfying when you know you caused the need for brain bleach

[01:13:13] <fyngyrz> The world is so funny if you but(t) care to explore it.
[01:15:50] * AndyTheAbsurd waits for Xmarks to either fail and bitch at him about something, or complete synchronizing.
[01:16:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> fyngyrz, okay, that one's worth preserving for posterity.
[01:19:53] <Bytram> !grab fyngyrz
[01:19:53] <Bender> Added quote 866

[01:19:59] <Bender> Quote 866 - <fyngyrz> The world is so funny if you but(t) care to explore it.
[01:23:27] <chromas> It says LogMeIn is retiring xmarks
[01:24:40] <chromas> It only affects LogMeIn users then, right?
[01:26:56] <AndyTheAbsurd> LogMeIn? they shouldn't be involved... unless LastPass bought them, too.
[01:27:20] <AndyTheAbsurd> AFAIK, *all* of Xmarks is being shut down. At least, that's the impression I got from their e-mail.
[01:27:34] <chromas> I was just looking at the banner on the xmarks site
[01:27:38] * chromas hasn't used it before
[01:28:40] <chromas> Maybe they had integration for some reason
[01:29:16] <AndyTheAbsurd> Probably, although it started as "bookmarks sync" it ended up being "bookmarks, password, and history sync"
