[14:49:46] <AndyTheAbsurd> 8008135++
[14:49:40] <AndyTheAbsurd> does that result in 8008135 ?

[14:45:56] <Bytram> thanks for the help!
[14:45:52] <Bytram> story should come out in less than 3 hours.
[14:45:03] <Bender> karma - teamwork: 43
[14:45:03] <Bytram> teamwork++
[14:44:43] <Bytram> close enough!
[14:44:32] <Bytram> something tells me that it was a bait-and-switch; dangle a big carrot and then have nearly everyone end up getting the cheap credit monitoring... and setting a hard limit on the actual amount they had to pay.
[14:43:43] <AndyTheAbsurd> $0.21088435 was the actual number I came up with.
[14:43:23] <FatPhil> dc's a great language: dc -e'[[dc -e]P10075PP93P[dx]P39PAP]dx'
[14:43:13] <AndyTheAbsurd> Yeah, that was the math I did earlier, and came up with the same number.
[14:42:36] <Bytram> Put another way, they set aside $0.21 for each potential claimant.
[14:42:26] <Bytram> one more:
[14:42:15] <AndyTheAbsurd> .17% is also correct.
[14:41:50] <Bytram> how 'bout the others?
[14:41:43] <Bytram> I figured, "You know, this has bugged me for along time. I can't be the only one who has thought this. I wonder... looked at a man page, searched for 'separator', and... voila!"
[14:40:54] <AndyTheAbsurd> so your 18.375 billion was correct.
[14:40:23] <AndyTheAbsurd> 125 147000000 * p 018 375 000 000

[14:40:07] <Bytram> not mentioned, is it will provide leading zeroes when the value is less than 100
[14:39:41] <AndyTheAbsurd> hey, that's pretty neat!...not *quite* what I was looking for but pretty damned close.
[14:39:01] <Bytram> indicating that the number continues on the next line.
[14:39:00] <Bytram> number is longer than this, dc puts a backslash \ at the end of the line,
[14:38:58] <Bytram> dc outputs long numbers with a maximum of 70 characters per line. If a
[14:38:56] <Bytram> five digits each.
[14:38:54] <Bytram> 100000 makes a good output base because dc groups numbers into chunks of
[14:38:51] <Bytram> ten, you can put your output in columns; for example, many users find that
[14:38:49] <Bytram> with three digits per chunk. Using output bases that are large powers of
[14:38:45] <Bytram> through 999. As a result, dc breaks up all values into one or more chunks
[14:38:44] <Bytram> This sets the output base to 1000, where digits are decimal values from 0
[14:38:42] <Bytram> 123 456 789
[14:38:39] <Bytram> prints
[14:38:39] <Bytram> 123456789 p
[14:38:39] <Bytram> 1000 o
[14:38:39] <Bytram> example,
[14:38:39] <Bytram> digit as a decimal value and separates them with a single space. For
[14:38:39] <Bytram> You can make the output base larger than 16. In this case, dc prints each
[14:38:01] <Bytram> AndyTheAbsurd: ask and you shall receive!

[14:36:28] <Bytram> hmmm
[14:36:09] <Bytram> but in what radix?

[14:34:03] <Bytram> (2) $31 million / $18.375 billion == 0.17% ??
[14:33:21] <Bytram> 147 million people; $125 each. total amount: $18.375 billion. correct?

[13:26:06] <SemperOSS> I want the diamond-studded platinum plan, please
[13:25:12] <Bytram> that would be the platinum plan!
[13:24:58] <SemperOSS> Bytran, a + b!
[13:24:22] <SemperOSS> FatPhil, I used to be a good consumerist capitalist, but I seem to find more and more problems with the ethics these days (and no, not my own)
[13:24:05] <Bytram> customers see: (a) 1 year credit protection (b) $$ cash payout... which company would I be incentivized to do business with?
[13:23:19] <Bytram> all it takes is a couple companies, like T-Mo, that brag how they provide such good coverage to their clients... why would you do business with anyone else?
[13:23:10] <FatPhil> you anti-capitalist pigdogs!
[13:22:53] <SemperOSS> Yes, give them an excess that actually *hurts*
[13:22:38] <Bytram> so there WOULD be skin in the game for the covered companies
[13:22:24] <Bytram> and make it half-and-half; ins co pays only half of the pay-to-the-user amount.
[13:22:10] <FatPhil> i think it would simple better to just nuke equifax from orbit
[13:21:43] <Bytram> further with my idea... insurance companies could advertise their *gold* coverage accounts and provide an external incentive for companies to upgrade their systems.
[13:21:40] <SemperOSS> The better part of the Swedish rainforest
[13:20:56] <FatPhil> how many forests would need to be cut down for all the paper and envelopes?
[13:20:47] * SemperOSS pouts
[13:20:44] <SemperOSS> AndyTheAbsurd: Hey, I was going to say that.
[13:20:36] <Bytram> they'll just take it out of the pool reducing even further the amount that the payees will get. :P
[13:20:07] <AndyTheAbsurd> I hope almost everyone does, just because at that point it will cost Equifax more than $31 million to mail out the checks.
[13:20:06] <Bytram> what I would love to see is an insurance company step up and offer bronze/silver/gold plans (with increasingly large premiums) and with increasingly more stringent protections that would pay each affected data breach victim $10/$25/$50 (or somesuch)
[13:19:29] <AndyTheAbsurd> 21 cents if everyone claims.
[13:19:03] <AndyTheAbsurd> and 147 million people affected
[13:18:55] <AndyTheAbsurd> $31 million according to the linked article
[13:18:39] <Bytram> bucket size was on the order of about $30M ($40M?) not sure, but compared to the number of affected payees (~100 millions) there was no way it would be any large payout to an individual
[13:18:13] <SemperOSS> I love the American judicial system where big companies can screw over little folks and get away with a soft slap on the hand. Why is it impossible to actually make them pay a reasonable amount to each affected person?
[13:17:15] <AndyTheAbsurd> Oh well, I already checked and my wife and I are getting a grand total of $0 from it anyway.
[13:17:04] <Bytram> IIRC atm it is less than $2

[13:16:46] <Bytram> amount each payee gets is payout bucket / count(payees)
[13:16:44] <AndyTheAbsurd> Damn
[13:16:24] <Bytram> it's a *settlement* with a predefined payout bucket.
[13:16:10] <Bytram> nope
[13:15:37] <AndyTheAbsurd> Hopefully Equifax pays out enough that they just die
[13:14:23] <FatPhil> bollocks, I just pointed gf/'s parents in the direction of the equifax class action

[13:12:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> hard wired and on a UPS
[13:12:19] <Bytram> so how does one set up a reliable NAS?
[13:11:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> nfs (or any networked fs): nice in theory, fucking pain in the ass in practice
[13:10:56] <FatPhil> g/f has the symmetric problem in the office - her ~ is lan, but her /net/media is fuse.sshfs to the home nas!
[13:10:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> that often even includes going across the lan to my media server
[13:09:57] <FatPhil> yeah, I'm kinda making it difficult for myself...
[13:09:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> i stick with ssh and scp. overall, far fewer headaches.
[13:08:43] <FatPhil> I don't serve ~ over HTTP presently. That would be the simplest solution
[13:08:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> it's the "mount" part that's the problem. linux doesn't dig on unreliable things being filesystems.
[13:07:16] <FatPhil> the SSH is rock solid, it's the network mount that isn't.
[13:07:03] <FatPhil> I'm sshing to the office, editing the files in ~ there, and then testing the results out by pointing the browser to the network mount.

[13:06:36] <Bytram> ;)
[13:06:33] <Bytram> at the moment I doubt he's very happy
[13:06:28] <FatPhil> I'm not quite doing that.
[13:06:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> you're pulling ~ from across the internet? are you mad?
[13:06:09] <Bytram> rsync to local drive; do stuff; rsync back?
[13:05:42] <FatPhil> I never bothered moving my home directory home when we moved from the old home (now the office) to the new home.
[13:05:12] * TheMightyBuzzard doesn't even attempt to use networked fses on anything not utterly reliable
[13:05:10] <FatPhil> No, a clock doesn't need to know about my network mounts, it needs to know how to create a create a window, read the time, and draw a window,
[13:04:30] <FatPhil> i remember seeing some weird and wonderful packages on my debian that were pulled in by gnome-based programs, and I just freaking purged them.
[13:03:51] <TheMightyBuzzard> yup but it uses the proper fs libs which hate anything being unreliable
[13:03:20] <Bytram> yeah, coulda been Gnome. As I said I never used it; just remember reading about it.
[13:03:12] <FatPhil> sshfs just uses sftp as a transport
[13:02:55] <FatPhil> Gnome has that kind of setup, I know. I don't do any of those "desktop environment" things.
[13:02:54] <Bytram> e.g. mount an FTP site as a drive and you could copy files up and down as if they were local.
[13:02:10] <Bytram> haven't used it, and this was years ago, but I seem to recall that the work environment that starts everything with the letter K had a way to mount pretty much everything as a filesystem?
[13:01:57] <FatPhil> pstree -p shows 25 threads, so he's not averse to the general concept, he just doesn't want to protect his lightweight processes from each other.
[13:00:46] <FatPhil> fuse.sshfs is as flaky as fuck, I wish there was an alternative secure networked FS that coped with unreliable lower layers.
[13:00:43] <AndyTheAbsurd> Last I looked, it was, and Moonchild felt the overhead of multiprocess wasn't worthwhile.
[13:00:16] <Bytram> yep. AFAIK, Pale Moon is still single process for all tabs.
[12:59:27] <FatPhil> the crazy thing is that the process that locks up - palemoon - has about 40 freaking threads. But one tab wants to read /net/homes/phil/... and the whole browser locks up
[12:59:04] <Bytram> fsck?
[12:58:20] <FatPhil> It's now back so the timeout seems to be over 10 minutes.
[12:57:15] <FatPhil> ah, actually, it's worse than nfs - it's fuse.sshfs. I mounted my work home directory from a computer in the office, as I prefer to work from home.

[08:26:14] <inz> Yeah, it uses a headless firefox to render the page
[08:25:57] <FatPhil> "You need to have Firefox 57 or newer installed" ?!?
[08:25:06] <inz> Nope, you can get a .deb from the github page though (I take no responsibility if it roots your box)
[08:24:31] <inz> I didn't either until an hour-or-so ago
[08:24:30] <FatPhil> not in debian :(
[08:23:48] <FatPhil> I don't know browsh
[08:20:39] <inz> The image is browsh --monochrome running in cool-retro-term
[08:20:02] <FatPhil> I think I need to work out how to incorporate that image as the background to the index page!
[08:19:44] <inz> FatPhil, olen, mistä jäin kiinni?-)
[08:17:53] <FatPhil> looks *fantastic*! :-D
[08:17:30] <FatPhil> Oletko suomalainen?
[08:13:06] <inz> FatPhil, does this look correct to you: http://inz.fi
[07:31:02] <inz> Pseudorandom schmeudorandom
[07:29:50] <chromas> it's in there somewhere if you have the right regex
[07:29:42] <chromas> Just grep /dev/urandom
[07:05:04] <inz> You should just download a local copy of the internet and grep from it.

[06:41:26] <chromas> Lyrics are overrated, just like google
[06:40:21] <FatPhil> a bit like modern "music", he says shaking his fist at a passing cloud, as inintelligible lyrics are better than no lyrics.
[06:34:15] <inz> Because irrelevant search results are better than no search results
[06:34:07] <chromas> Trya plus before the quotes
[06:33:57] <inz> Yeah, and often it "helpfully" strips the quotes from the search string.
[06:31:10] <FatPhil> google's shit nowadays - 8 of the top 10 hits didn't contain the error message I'd put in quotes in my search.
[06:30:29] <FatPhil> teh internets indicated that -U was failing in 2016 because of a DoS
[06:29:22] <FatPhil> chromas: nope, I explicitly invoked it with -U
[06:28:53] <FatPhil> version info comes from lightweight server, package comes from flakey CDN?
[05:57:42] <inz> FatPhil, it is quite weird that it would fail at that point, it already means that it has received the latest version info and list of versions from the same server, but for some reason fails to download the update itself (unless you have some strict memory limits for python :)
[05:52:15] <chromas> it's trying to update itself?
[05:51:58] <inz> that would be a hinderance, yes.
[05:47:30] <FatPhil> Well, today's hardly the best day to test that feature: youtube-dl is up-to-date (2019.08.02)
[05:43:46] <inz> Does it fix the -U too?
[05:30:13] <FatPhil> a quick wget of https://youtube-dl.org solves the issues that were causing me to want to upgrade.
[05:21:19] <FatPhil> ERROR: unable to download latest version
[05:21:16] <FatPhil> Bytram: the weird thing is that I'm clearly contacting a remote server in order to find out what version is the most recent: Updating to version 2019.08.02 ...

[00:29:48] <Bytram> FatPhil: Interesting! I just today ran into a problem with my prior D/L of yourtube-dl, so went off to get a newer version. Looks like they may have moved where the files lived. I just thought it was my upgrade script that I had not yet fully/completely fleshed out. Now I think *they* changed something.
