[01:24:54] <Bytram> takyon: I'd forgotten about the unique AC idea... I'm trying to figure out what to get for a new system so I can finally take a genuine stab at coding for the site, but I want a laptop that can run Linux natively (well, actually, mostly anything unixlike; definitely NOT wanting Windows 10 and all its telemetry)

[08:36:43] <badger> Morning. SASL auth seems to be broken.
[08:36:56] <badger> Any of the IRC admins around to restart services?
[08:37:14] <badger> Or were the auth modes reconfigured?
[08:37:42] <badger> Actually, nevermind. As it transpires, it's my client cert.

[14:49:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> okay, happy mouse
[15:14:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> okay, goddamned microsoft comfort mouse 4500 can suck a dick. they used something closer to gum than rubber for the wheel gripping surface.
[15:14:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> ended up just tearing it off
[15:15:16] <AndyTheAbsurd> microsoft used at least get good stuff for their branded hardware.
[15:15:30] <AndyTheAbsurd> the stuff I pulled apart was Mitsumi on the inside, IIRC.
[15:16:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> nod nod. the intellimouse was damned good quality kit for a long, long time.
[15:18:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> didn't have much choice when i bought this one though. ms had quit making any other mouse with a tail and i won't use wireless mice.
[15:20:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> think i may order several of these before they kill them for some dipshit reason. https://www.microsoft.com
[15:20:52] <upstart> ^ 03Microsoft Basic Optical Mouse | Microsoft Accessories
[15:22:08] <AndyTheAbsurd> I generally prefer Logitech for mice.
[15:22:41] <AndyTheAbsurd> But that's just personal preference. And Logitech does still make corded mice - though even their selection is a little thin these days.
[15:24:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> i would but they've always given spotty as hell results with linux.
[15:26:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> having to tweak kernel module params or the xorg.conf every single time so your mouse isn't moving at three pixels per second or three billion is annoying
[15:27:20] <AndyTheAbsurd> but I ALWAYS want my mouse moving at three billion pixels for second!
[15:27:51] <TheMightyBuzzard> so you can't actually use it and stick with the keyboard?
[15:28:09] <AndyTheAbsurd> (kind of /s but also kind of for serious... one of the reasons that I can't use Macs on a daily basis is that even maximum mouse acceleration doesn't make the mouse cursor move fast enough for me.)
[15:29:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> i dislike acceleration in mice anyway. it fucks with me hard when the further you move it the faster it goes.
[15:32:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> or vice versa or whatever
