[02:17:37] <Bytram> FatPhil: yes, it is. Remember that SoylentNews replaces all strings of white-space with a single dash. So, --- ... --- won't work. Need something that is clearly a dit and something that is clearly a dah; that would be "* and "=", respectively. Now how to separate letters and words? Again, spaces and dashed are out. Hmm. A single vertical bar "|" can separate letters, and two-in-a-row "||" can separate words. Try that and tell me what
[02:17:37] <Bytram> you get?
[02:20:50] <chromas> You can still use braille pattern blank for spaces in the dept. field
[02:24:16] <Bytram> does it survive an edit and update?
[02:25:33] <Bytram> this that also works, but when I retrieve the story, edit it. and save changes, it reverts to: this-that
[02:27:55] <chromas> Yeah so you either have to paste it in or use the braille pattern blank, which does survive the herpy derpy filters
[02:28:29] <Bytram> =braille this that
[02:28:36] <Bytram> =(
[02:28:46] <Bytram> ;)
[02:30:18] <Bytram> drat! I just missed getting an interesting CID: https://soylentnews.org

[02:52:49] <AzumaHazuki> well, this is going to be an eventful weekend...i'm going to Buffalo from Friday to Sunday. Going to scout the lay of the land, familiarize myself with some of the bus routes, check out the pharmacies and see which branches are hiring...
[02:55:11] <chromas> And look for houses without stairs outside the bathroom window
[02:55:20] <AzumaHazuki> indeed
[02:55:39] <chromas> How's the cost of living there compared to your current hole?
[02:55:46] <AzumaHazuki> about the same
[02:56:07] <AzumaHazuki> but you can walk to frickin' canada, lol. right over the peace bridge. a year there, developing skills, will make it much easier to immigrate

[04:00:32] <Bytram> AzumaHazuki: do you dig snow?
[04:00:47] <AzumaHazuki> excessively, in winter ><
[04:00:51] <Bytram> (both senses of 'dig' implied)
[04:01:01] <AzumaHazuki> i know alllll about Buffalo's fucking winters. this is...not a decision made lightly
[04:01:25] <AzumaHazuki> but if i'm to have any chance at all, with so little money and no car or ability to drive, living literally within walking distance is my best bet
[04:02:07] <Bytram> been there. I know what you mean.
[04:03:03] <AzumaHazuki> those death premonitions haven't stopped. they're coming at intervals of minutes now...
[04:03:16] <AzumaHazuki> i can't see or sense anything beyond 24 June or so
[04:04:16] <Bytram> On the positive side, some people will be unable to afford their cars... dealers are not going to be selling like they used to, or paying the rates they used to, either. If ever there was a time to get one, we are approaching "peak season", if you know what I mean?
[04:05:15] <AzumaHazuki> this may be entirely academic in a few weeks...
[04:05:52] <Bytram> Oi! Construction workers will be back at it in 7 hours... I better get to bed shortly or I'll regret it.
[04:06:11] <AzumaHazuki> i spent most of today having flashbacks, and still working somehow. worse, it came with this incredibly pervasive sense of "you do NOT belong here. the entire timeline is broken. this is not Madison. what are you doing here?"
[04:06:22] <Bytram> it may, or it may not. What if things *do* work out?
[04:07:32] <Bytram> Things are far from ideal for me, but I'm managing. I've had it much worse, so I try and be grateful for what I do have... today.
[04:08:14] <Bytram> that's gonna have to it.
[04:08:23] <Bytram> have a great night everybody!

[08:02:05] <chromas> reading a review of a netgear router. apparently when you allow them to remote in, their tech support uses notepad to try to upsell just like the malware scammers
[08:13:23] <FatPhil> reading a comment by chromas, apparently when you allow netgear to remote into your router, it ain't your router any more.
[08:14:35] <chromas> their switches are okay but their routers seem to be kinda shitty
[08:15:16] <chromas> how do I enable encrypted dns lookups?
[08:15:46] <chromas> I've detected my router intercepts routerlogin.net and points it to the router even using dig @8.8.8.8 and stuff

[19:46:54] <carny> 5 days late
[19:54:26] <FatPhil> 50 years late, you mean?
[19:54:44] <FatPhil> Oh, I was referring to the orbital junk story.

[20:15:15] <carny> are you going to run juniper os on it?
[20:15:52] <carny> i would only buy something like that to learn juniper for getting a job
[20:21:36] <chromas> Haven't used it before but from looking at screenshots, it looks like something from 1998

[23:35:01] <Bytram> chromas: How much compute power do you need? ISTR reading that an RPi could do the trick. Heck if an old LinkSys WR54G (or something like that) could do the job...
[23:43:45] <chromas> Yeah, I've also been looking at the SoC stuff. Most only have one eth port. Bastards. Or the ones with more have like 6 usb ports and stuff
[23:46:15] <chromas> I don't need a ton of horsepower. I'm not doing DPI or anything; I let the NSA handle that.
[23:55:32] <Bytram> RPi 4 has one ethernet, but a couple of the latest USB C(?), that you could plug an adapter in.
[23:58:58] <chromas> Some of those are pretty cheap. I wonder how well they'd work as desktop PCs
