[10:11:51] <CountChocula> have you guys thought about creating a hidden .onion service for IRC?
[10:22:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> CountChocula, nah, none of us are even set up for seeing if the .onion service for the main site is working that i know of.
[10:23:55] <CountChocula> TheMightyBuzzard, lol okay, thx
[10:24:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> welcome to join staff and maintain just that bit if you like though
[10:24:53] <CountChocula> thx but I wouldn't want to take the blame if someone screwed up something though
[10:25:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> we could run it on dev then. nobody cares if dev gets screwed up.
[10:26:05] <CountChocula> I think .onion IRC is the beez kneez
[10:26:40] <TheMightyBuzzard> i think it'd probably be easy to set up but that we'd get even more spammers than we already do.
[10:27:08] <CountChocula> yeah, you're probably right
[10:27:11] <CountChocula> what was i thinking
[10:27:16] * CountChocula frying pan to back of head
[10:27:51] <TheMightyBuzzard> on the other hand, they'd all be coming from the same apparent ip, so harsher checks against that ip only could be used.

[10:29:07] <CountChocula> have you ever tried the tobacco that you snort?
[10:46:48] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Yale Physicists Find Signs of a Time Crystal - http://sylnt.us - timeless
[10:47:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> CountChocula, proper snuff? nah. i haven't had clear sinuses since i decided to acquire allergies in my late teens.
[10:48:16] <CountChocula> 🐒
[10:48:38] <CountChocula> I've been meaning to try it. sounds like it would summon cancer quicker though
[10:49:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> i can't hang with what most people call snuff even. apparently i was built with below spec mucous membranes.
[10:49:56] <CountChocula> :/
[10:50:21] <CountChocula> there's some fun discussion and sometimes arguments on SN. What's cool about it all though is usually it's friendly
[10:50:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> it's smoking or chewing for me
[10:50:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, even when it's not it's usually worthwhile reading.
[10:51:04] <CountChocula> if you're in the US, how can you smoke since they added FSC crap to it?
[10:51:30] <CountChocula> look at the side or bottom of the pack for "FSC"
[10:51:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> i buy stuff classified as pipe tobacco and roll my own.
[10:52:03] <CountChocula> you can safely inhale `pipe` tobacco? Isn't that really, really strong?
[10:52:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> "classified as". it's just raw tobacco sliced into cigarette sized ribbons.
[10:53:06] <CountChocula> ah, clever.
[10:53:18] <CountChocula> how much do you pay for a pack nowadays
[10:53:35] <CountChocula> say, does MDC ever drop in here?
[10:53:37] <TheMightyBuzzard> no idea. it comes in a... hang on...
[10:53:57] <CountChocula> oh, nevermind, you buy loose tobacco
[10:54:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> 16oz bag for $12
[10:54:38] <CountChocula> nice
[10:54:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> lasts me about a month but i gotta spend $1.50/100 for rolling papers as well.
[10:55:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> MDC? rarely but yeah.
[10:55:27] <CountChocula> at least with your method you eliminate the FSC, as most rollers don't have it in it I don't believe
[10:55:36] <CountChocula> MDC is wild, I remember him from kuro5hin
[10:56:02] <TheMightyBuzzard> i roll with my fingers. the machines are nifty but messy and slower and add bulk to my kit.
[10:56:49] <CountChocula> oops, i meant the paper not the roller - have you tried the mechanical rollers?
[10:56:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, he's okay most the time. bit lacking in knowledge of social boundaries which can cause issues.
[10:57:25] <CountChocula> heh
[10:57:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> a few times over the years, yeah. they're just something extra to carry around though. i can hand roll things that look like factory nonfilters though.
[10:57:42] <CountChocula> well we all have something ^_^
[10:58:20] <CountChocula> i like to add a little mint to my rolls
[10:58:27] <CountChocula> i should start rolling again
[10:58:43] <CountChocula> it gives it a cool taste and feeling, and cloves are fun too
[10:58:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> only downsides to rolling your own is wind and rain. have to plan that shat out and have a rolling party if you're going to be out in it.
[10:59:03] <CountChocula> heh
[10:59:20] <CountChocula> wind, rain, and spit. x)
[10:59:54] <CountChocula> i swear there's always someone in the circle who turns the cig into a wet rolled taco
[11:00:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, i don't partake of the kind that are generally shared amongst a group though.
[11:01:14] <CountChocula> it's a good way to avoid herpes and the like, and ya, I should have been more clear
[11:01:28] <CountChocula> only tobacco for me.. well and some mint
[11:01:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> nod nod. i just roll whoever wants one their own if they wanna try it. it's cheap.
[11:02:40] <CountChocula> 💩
[11:02:41] * exec chucks a nasty sloppy dogshit at aqu4
[11:02:47] <CountChocula> lol
[11:02:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> but about actual pipe tobacco, yeah you can inhale it if you're smoking a pipe. just less of it.
[11:03:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> #smake chromas
[11:03:14] * MrPlow smakes chromas upside the head with a money shot
[11:03:30] <CountChocula> yeah but you're *rolling* it and inhaling it that way, right?
[11:03:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> roger
[11:04:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> different cut and no flavoring additives though. smoke's way different in strength.
[11:04:34] <CountChocula> have you tasted the FSC out there?
[11:04:43] <CountChocula> another way to evade the FSC is with cigars
[11:04:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> naw, dunno what it even is

[11:04:57] <CountChocula> it stands for fire safe cigarette
[11:04:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> guessing that's a bad result
[11:05:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh
[11:05:12] <CountChocula> basically it's known by some as carpet glue
[11:05:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, i smoke a store bought one now and then
[11:05:23] <TheMightyBuzzard> not if i can help it though.
[11:05:47] <CountChocula> do look it up and you'll be surprised people still smoke it the taste isnt the same and really the whole experience is a downer
[11:06:17] <CountChocula> and it's not fire safe
[11:06:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> the taste between what i smoke and the ones i smoked 20 years ago is night and day.
[11:06:36] <CountChocula> do they have flavored papers?
[11:06:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> probably. i prefer they be cheap as to be flavored though.
[11:06:59] <CountChocula> how much do you spend on filters
[11:07:17] <CountChocula> i want to get back in the game so to speak
[11:07:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> $1.50/115 usually.
[11:07:23] <CountChocula> not bad
[11:07:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> i normally get Top or Bugler brand
[11:07:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> the uber thin ones are a lot more expensive.
[11:07:54] <CountChocula> I love the ritual involved
[11:08:08] <CountChocula> that was part of the lure and lore for me
[11:08:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> speaking of. the roomie just declared a smoke break. back in 5-10
[11:08:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> smoke break

[11:08:22] <Bender> karma - nicotine: 621
[11:08:24] <CountChocula> ha
[11:19:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> man, i really hope the city don't grant a waiver to the guy wanting to turn an old church up the street into a duplex.
[11:19:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> it's zoned R1, which means single family housing only, though it got a waiver to be a church.
[11:20:24] <CountChocula> anywhere a developer can make bank they're on it
[11:20:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> i'd like to buy it though. 4K square feet for $60K worth of house that you can configure any way you like is badass.
[11:21:31] <CountChocula> how much land?
[11:21:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> not much at all. two lots.
[11:22:00] <CountChocula> what type of religion is/was practiced there
[11:22:16] <CountChocula> it seems like a lot of smaller denominations are crumbling
[11:22:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> one of those randomly named denominations. nothing franchise.
[11:22:26] <CountChocula> ah
[11:23:04] <CountChocula> u could buy it and dedicate one room for smoking
[11:23:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> it's sweet looking from what i've seen of it though. enough parking for a dozen cars or so, or two guys, their boats, and a job trailer.
[11:23:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, that's what covered porches are for. i hate repainting walls.
[11:23:39] <CountChocula> but I like lead
[11:23:59] <CountChocula> well close the deal! :D
[11:24:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> could be a 5K square foot place if you was of a mind to put a second floor in the sanctuary area instead of an enormously vaulted ceiling.
[11:24:56] <CountChocula> yeah but wouldn't u lose on acoustics
[11:25:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, gotta wait on the pending sale to fall through for zoning reasons, which the property manager who handles the place we're renting is pretty sure it will.
[11:25:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> and heating/cooling bills, yup.
[11:26:27] <CountChocula> I like hookah lounges
[11:26:43] <CountChocula> I forget what they call the tobacco there but they along with oxygen bars are cool
[11:27:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> roomie has kids or the whole place might very well be a smoking section
[11:27:01] <CountChocula> esp if you go from hookah lounge -> oxygen bar
[11:27:06] <CountChocula> heh
[11:27:33] <CountChocula> well u also retain the benefit of, if selling any items to eBay or whatever, saying in the auction that it comes from a smoke free home
[11:27:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> heh, man, oxygen bars... just get an O2 tank from a welding supply place.
[11:27:54] <CountChocula> good idea
[11:28:40] <CountChocula> don't old lead paint walls block wifi?
[11:29:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> possibly. dunno.
[11:29:16] <CountChocula> if so no wonder they got rid of them
[11:29:30] <CountChocula> they sell special paint that blocks wifi apart from that i mean
[11:29:49] <CountChocula> expensive though
[11:29:51] <CountChocula> but it does the job
[11:29:56] <CountChocula> there's also special wallpaper too
[11:30:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> the only problem i see with the place at all is that we may have to run extra cable and have like four APs for wifi.
[11:30:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> 5GHz does not do multiple wall penetration well at all.
[11:31:26] <CountChocula> in the future I plan to go fiber. whether it's google or whatever
[11:32:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> not an option here unless we want to pay through the nose. 100Mbps ain't bad though.

[12:14:25] <CountChocula> I fish with a cheese grader then follow up with a meat grinder attached to a little box which plays music box tunes
[12:14:38] <CountChocula> and a plastic monkey which dances on the top
[12:15:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> i prefer sitting on a dock with a few lines out for catfish and taking a nap until i hear the bells i tie on to the tips ring.
[12:15:40] <TheMightyBuzzard> or swapping lies with the old black preachers who fish there a lot.
[12:16:23] <CountChocula> eventually i'd like to go somewhere where i can dive for nice tasty treats
[12:16:32] <CountChocula> shrimp, lobster, what have you
[12:17:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> yup. i don't get why so many people just fail to grasp the possibility of moving to somewhere tropical and getting their lazy on.
[12:18:36] <CountChocula> well if you have the $$$
[12:18:45] <CountChocula> or you could live in a cave
[12:18:53] <CountChocula> setup some mesh network
[12:19:28] <CountChocula> millions do
[12:19:37] <TheMightyBuzzard> that's the thing... you don't really need much money aside from the moving expense. people gotta work on islands too so there's jobs.
[12:20:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> it takes less work to be lower middle class or barely poor anywhere tropical, not more.
[12:20:40] <CountChocula> where you at MDC?
[12:20:50] <CountChocula> say it once more and maybe he'll appear
[12:21:05] <CountChocula> were you ever on kuro5hin at all back in the day?
[12:22:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> naw. i preferred /. until it got lame.
[12:22:15] <CountChocula> heh
[12:22:32] <CountChocula> i lurked kuro5hin it was crazy but amusing until it just went to shit
[12:22:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> the chans amused me for a short time but only for a short time.
[12:23:29] <CountChocula> /. was incredible and they were one of a few sites on 9/11 which remained online for people to communicate
[12:23:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> techdirt was the only other place i spent any significant amount of time
[12:24:01] <CountChocula> but then they went all buck feta and it's filled with, IMO, shills now
[12:24:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> i never cared for it after taco left
[12:24:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> still visited but didn't comment much
[12:24:48] <CountChocula> it's hit or miss, but /r/ has a lot of chatter, which i prefer vs. hashtag nonsense
[12:25:05] <CountChocula> i feel a lot of former /. people are on YCombinator
[12:25:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> don't like the ui there
[12:25:37] <CountChocula> neither do i, it's painful, but i power skim through topics
[12:25:53] <CountChocula> and some of the discussions are quite witty
[12:26:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> same with reddit
[12:26:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> upvotes and downvotes are a bad idea. leads to groupthink.
[12:26:45] <CountChocula> they fsckin pulled a digg with the redesign.. i must use old.reddit.com to remain sane
[12:27:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> s'why we don't have firehose on SN
[12:28:16] <CountChocula> oh, sure, NOW the irc channels are poppin
[12:28:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> we have editors who'll push anything within our idiom that they don't have to completely rewrite to remove insane amounts of bias
[12:28:47] <CountChocula> I could never be a mod/editor, i'd slit my wrists
[12:28:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> everyone's a mod here if they register
[12:29:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> most don't mod though
[12:29:29] <CountChocula> well i mean editing of stories which people submit
[12:29:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> ahh, yeah. they're a special kind of masochist.
[12:29:55] <CountChocula> indeed!
[12:30:50] <CountChocula> you guys should run a test, and on the FP, have a line which suggests this chat server to others and see how many users it gains
[12:31:11] <CountChocula> i know, descent into madness but still
[12:31:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> we get a lot of new folks during downtime. they don't stick though

[12:50:37] <TheMightyBuzzard> weekend is the main reason we're quiet at the moment. everyone wants to hang with family and/or get their decompress on. it's almost always like this on saturday n sunday.
[12:51:36] <CountChocula> heh - so is this server active during the week
[12:52:22] <CountChocula> i think most irc networks are close to death
[12:52:56] <CountChocula> there are a few which remain where people chat - but usually tied to and concealed within some type of web interaction, like twitch for example
[12:53:07] <CountChocula> in those cases, most don't even know they're in irc or what irc is
[12:54:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> more active than this. mostly in the mornings while people are coffeeing up
[12:54:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> some evenings too though
[12:54:46] <CountChocula> cool. speaking of coffee have you ever had the $$$$ expensive coffee which is collected from the droppings of a mammal?
[12:55:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> naw. i prefer my coffee to not have passed through a cat's asshole.
[12:55:14] <CountChocula> X)
[12:55:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> jamacian blue mountain is pretty good though
[12:55:43] <CountChocula> I'm trying to source some quality coffee from HI
[12:55:53] <CountChocula> never tried JBM
[12:56:14] <CountChocula> kona and some other offerings
[12:56:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> it's gotten big enough you can find it in a lot of grocery stores
[12:56:28] <CountChocula> yeah? i'll keep my eye out for it thx
[12:56:37] <CountChocula> i wish i could have coffee flavored tobacco
[12:57:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> i suppose you could but i like the taste of tobacco. specially the smell when you first light a cigarette.
[12:57:19] <CountChocula> ;-)

[13:00:50] <CountChocula> have you tried signing up for sites with TMB but in another language?
[13:01:25] <Frankenberry> 'Quiero tener el nickname "themightybuzzard" por favor'
[13:01:51] <TheMightyBuzzard> naw. english is the lingua franca of the internet
[13:02:27] <CountChocula> shit, all the servers are lighting up with people
[13:02:39] <CountChocula> well it's good to see irc isn't 100% dead

[13:06:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> blarg. gotta compile gcc6 on magnesium because of the gentoo profile shuffle.
[13:07:41] <Frankenberry> That's one of the big advantages of gentoo. Helps keep you in touch with what a long compile process feels like. None of this wimpy "binary packages" nonsense like with the BSDs or other GNU/Linuces
[13:08:32] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - A New Giant Virus Found in the Waters of Oahu, Hawaii - http://sylnt.us - less-than-1-cm-doesn't-scare-me
[13:09:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> well we do use binary packages on everything but our binary package host
[13:10:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> but when you have to do the profile shuffle it has to be done in a specific order.

[13:10:25] <Bender> karma - nicotine: 624
[13:10:41] <Frankenberry> That actually makes perfect sense.
[13:17:41] <TheMightyBuzzard> nod nod. building on dev (which isn't used for anything much unless it's me using it) means we don't have to build on a box that needs to be up and snappy and has a single core processor.
[13:21:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> profile switch dance requires gcc6 built without PIE to begin with though and dev is already updated to using PIE on everything
[13:21:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> so its bin packages are unhelpful for the first install of gcc6
[13:53:11] <Frankenberry> My intel assembly knowledge is poor enough that I honestly don't know what difference PIE makes. The last assembly language that I learned to write position-independent code for was the Motorola 6809.
[13:53:56] * TheMightyBuzzard chuckles
[13:54:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> i don't even try to write assembly anymore. there's very little call for it in anything i code for really.
[13:54:53] <fyngyrz> 6809++
[13:54:53] <Bender> karma - 6809: 1
[13:57:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> most any microprocessor will at least let you code in C and unless you write shit code C isn't going to be THAT MUCH less optimized than hand-rolled assembly.
[14:30:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> #submit https://www.voidlinux.eu Submitted because I know we have at least one Void user in the community.
[14:30:21] <MrPlow> Unable to find a summary for that page
[14:30:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> blarg
[14:34:26] <Frankenberry> and you want to tweak her about it?
[14:36:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> naw. i don't hold grudges or maintain enmity beyond a conversation's length. bad for the soul.
[14:37:34] <Frankenberry> Reading the void article, it looks like they have a pretty good attitude and have a capable handle on the situation.
[14:39:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> nod nod. if they have an active dev team they should be able to manage just fine, regardless of the maintainer.
[14:43:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> can't be arsed to sub it manually though, so i necro posted to her journal entry on void
[14:45:16] * TheMightyBuzzard sighs
[14:45:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> almost three hours of compile time so far for gcc6 on magnesium
[14:59:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> fuuuuck. i forgot to keep my media server updated along with my desktop. 208 packages to install and several of the longest compile time ones have updates.
[14:59:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> it's going to be building all day
[15:08:04] <Frankenberry> see, binary package users have to mine cryptocurrency or whatever to keep their CPUs in shape. You are way ahead of those kinds of people.
[15:15:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> done compiling on magnesium. now 276 binary packages to install/update/reinstall
[15:16:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh, nah. i get mostly binary packages cause i use calculate at home instead of base gentoo. just so happens i like to tweak the use flags of some very slow to compile packages though.
[15:17:37] <Frankenberry> control.
[15:17:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> so all but like six of the packages are binaries but those half dozen are going to take all day to build.
[15:18:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> i should just set dev to build my shit too and pull from it as a binhost
[15:19:04] <Frankenberry> ah, I see the power going to your head.
[15:19:42] * TheMightyBuzzard ponders setting himself up with tmb.soylentnews.org rather than using a dynamic dns service
[15:21:05] <fyngyrz> while you're at it, just make it mine cryptocurrency for you :)
[15:21:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> naw, then i'd have to toggle it off when i wanted to do work on dev. that'd take at least 2-3 keystrokes every time.
[15:22:14] <fyngyrz> just put it in the makefile
[15:22:20] <Frankenberry> or you could write a watchdog process
[15:22:25] <fyngyrz> yup
[15:22:34] <fyngyrz> or jsut part of your login
[15:22:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> that last one would be best
[15:23:00] <fyngyrz> we're here to help, buddy

[22:46:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> bleh. some church went and snaked that place up without anyone even getting back to me.
[22:49:03] <TheMightyBuzzard> first seller i ever heard of not interested in multiple people bidding a property up.
[22:55:44] <fyngyrz> What were you trying to buy?
[22:55:57] <Ellenor> all i want to be is a cute little puppy
[22:56:13] <fyngyrz> (I ask because I live in a church. Used to be a church.)
[22:57:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> fyngyrz, was a 4k square foot church building about three blocks away
[22:57:19] <fyngyrz> thinking of making a home out of such?
[22:57:23] <TheMightyBuzzard> yup
[22:57:51] <fyngyrz> a lot of times, the "sellers" are the board of the church if it's active, which can make buying a different kind of competition
[22:57:55] <fyngyrz> that's what happened here
[22:58:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> hard to beat 4k square feet, a downstairs that's already livable sans shower, and a $60k price tag
[22:58:21] <fyngyrz> but here, they were desperate, and I only noticed pretty late in the game, so I got a deal
[22:58:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> was a bank
[22:58:40] <TheMightyBuzzard> or rather the city. failure to pay taxes.
[22:59:00] <fyngyrz> We got ours, with the land, for $25k. Then we spent about 50k building an interior into it (I did all the work.) So 75k in the end.
[22:59:25] <fyngyrz> with the interior, we're at just short of 7k sq ft
[22:59:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> very nice
[22:59:39] <fyngyrz> I built two large lofts
[22:59:48] <fyngyrz> bbiab
[23:35:04] <chromas> Failure to pay taxes? What kind of church was that?
