[20:22:53] <hopdevil> but i think it is more trivial than that
[20:21:28] <hopdevil> FatPhil: it isnt quite querty subsitition, could be something like vigenere

[19:10:57] <FatPhil> I used to always connect from asdf.org, and the substitutions were suspiciously sinister.
[19:10:11] <FatPhil> hopdevil: I think letters are substituted with neighbouring keys on the query keyboard
[18:53:10] <hopdevil> k obfuscation was one thought since the # chars matches
[18:51:46] <chromas> Not sure what logs the ircd has going
[18:51:15] <chromas> I think it's obfuscated for us non-ircop plebs
[18:47:41] <hopdevil> any way to check to see what IP the server thinks that is?
[18:47:03] <hopdevil> interesting, /who says im coming from vzvawkqom.io

[18:20:35] <hopdevil> also, I'm curious if this IRC is being saved off into some publically searchable place?
[18:19:13] <hopdevil> is it the US military's vision, or just what is happening?
[17:52:41] <FatPhil> So Doctor Who is just lifting plots from Predator now?

[14:02:00] <AndyTheAbsurd> Choice quote: If the vendor string says "GenuineIntel" then it uses the optimal code path. If the CPU is not from Intel then, in most cases, it will run the slowest possible version of the code, even if the CPU is fully compatible with a better version.

[13:58:23] <AndyTheAbsurd> Didn't they do a bunch of stuff involving compilers somehow a few years back?
[13:57:52] <AndyTheAbsurd> I thought creating misleading benchmarks was Intel's SOP.

[12:47:25] <Bytram> break time sounds good. biab
[12:47:15] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: FWIW, I'm back to work on Sunday... so plan accordingly. I'll do what I can up until then.
[12:46:45] <Bender> karma - nicotine: 667
[12:46:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> nicotine++
[12:46:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> smoke break
[12:46:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> no schema changes. well we do need one to prod that couldn't be done earlier but for optimizing we don't need to make any at the moment.
[12:45:03] <Bytram> understood, but making schema changes (IIUC), and modifying the code to use them... may not always work as expected on the first try.
[12:43:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> if you like. dev doesn't have the problem though because it has a much smaller db.
[12:43:19] <Bytram> nod nod
[12:43:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> so we have to stop users from writing to it for a time.
[12:43:08] <Bytram> practice on dev, first? right?
[12:42:54] <Bytram> yeah, THAT makes sense
[12:42:40] <TheMightyBuzzard> mostly you can't make significant changes to a db that you're trying to write to at the same time.
[12:42:37] * Bytram would love to see details of what you plan to do... before you do it. =)
[12:42:07] <Bytram> that makes sense...
[12:41:46] <Bytram> Hmmmmm
[12:41:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> Bytram, you can't add indexes or optimize a db while using it realistically.
[12:39:08] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: Don't know if you are aware, but the NWS (National Weather Service) has some neat tools available, for example: https://forecast.weather.gov
[12:37:37] * Bytram was disappointed at how fuzzy 1920x1200 looks on his new 2840x2160 TV until he realized he was getting "fractional pixels"... 2160/1200 == 1.80 pixels
[12:36:00] <Bytram> DB schema change? amirite? and with DB replication...
[12:35:43] <Bytram> don't we have redundancies? Oh, wait
[12:34:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> slow > no
[12:33:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> nothing i can do about it without downing the site for a significant part or possibly all of a day.
[12:32:27] <Bytram> site api seems to be un-impeded, though
[12:32:12] <Bytram> generally takes 2-3 seconds, minimum, to refresh any page.
[12:31:51] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: before you go... site has been quite sluggish lately?
[12:31:24] <upstart> ^ 03Lake Graham

[12:31:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> #g lake graham tennessee
[12:31:04] <Bytram> graham... crackers?
[12:30:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> graham it is.
[12:30:43] <MrPlow> pass 1: 2

[12:30:37] <TheMightyBuzzard> evens, graham. odds, gibson county.
[12:29:29] <Bytram> nod nod
[12:29:23] <TheMightyBuzzard> high at the moment but it won't be too bad later
[12:29:19] <Bytram> looks like I am in for a day or rain on thursday, but today is supposed to be quite nice... may just have to get my butt in gear and get outdoors and do some things
[12:29:08] <exec> 10Humboldt, TN - currently 71°F, sunny, wind SE at 6 mph, humidity 90% - Tuesday mostly sunny (70°F:87°F), Wednesday thunderstorm (53°F:82°F), Thursday sunny (42°F:66°F), Friday mostly sunny (45°F:64°F)
[12:29:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> ~weather
[12:28:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> but doesn't have all pulls merged
[12:28:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> rehash code? it's a little ahead of prod.
[12:28:35] <Bytram> how's the humidity?
[12:28:23] <TheMightyBuzzard> later though. fishing today.
[12:28:19] <Bytram> btw, is dev up to date with the latest code?
[12:28:06] <Bytram> that'd be nice
[12:27:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> guess i could try to get sodium over to gentoo. it's not in use right now anyway.
[12:27:31] <Bytram> k
[12:26:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> nope
[12:26:53] <Bytram> wasn't there something you wanted to reboot?
[12:26:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, we ain't got anything ready and i wouldn't want to do it on a weekday anyway.
[12:26:00] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: Not to put a rush on anything, but I *am* on vacation this week, so if there was any code you wanted to push out or any servers to reboot, this would be the time for it.
[12:25:40] <TheMightyBuzzard> man, stupid MrPlow is pegging one core of bery's cpu. i should fix that tomorrow.
[12:25:02] <Bytram> nod nod
[12:24:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> no idea. there's still so much C around that it's hard to tell.
[12:23:31] <Bytram> ain't that the norm, these days?
[12:23:22] <Bytram> but only a fat16 volume's worth
[12:23:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> you win. null terminated strings are harder to get rid of.
[12:23:06] * Bytram loses bedbugs? Win!
[12:22:47] * exec covertly derives a FAT16 volume of bedbugs from Bytram
[12:22:47] * exec carefully inserts a sole datagram of null-terminated strings into TheMightyBuzzard

[06:44:24] <Konomi> https://aboutme.google.com they've had this since 2015 apparently
[06:44:04] <Konomi> also I have a feeling google has been planing this for awhile

[02:38:18] <chromas> Oh no! All their things are gonna break :)
[02:36:22] <Bytram> anyway, was about to take a break after a 2-hour dive into what they do... catch ya later!
[02:35:52] <Bytram> it's quite a jump from what I'm doing now, but if I don't take the plunge some time, when will I?
[02:35:12] <Bytram> from past experience, they are on the verge of some growing pains trying to get past that size, and as far as I can tell, they do not yet have a QA resource. They are looking for good *people* more than just for someone to fill a particular role.
[02:33:27] <Bytram> established company (about 15 years old) with ~25-30 employees
[02:32:41] <Bytram> it's located only a couple miles from where I live, too.
[02:32:31] <Bytram> it's got a bunch of stuff outside of my experience base, but I've done pretty well at picking up new stuff over the years...
[02:32:04] <Bytram> yeah, I think so.
[02:31:16] <chromas> Ah, cool
[02:25:59] <Bytram> chromas: sorry, got distracted. Saw a job opportunity so thought I'd take a quick read up on some stuff.
