[05:14:34] <nutherguy> It's not really clear who is who, but anyone stupid enough to beg someone to shoot them - wellll - he got what he asked for.
[05:27:12] <nutherguy> Apparently a Trump supporter shot by a reporter's personal bodyguard? Since when do reporters have bodyguards?
[05:54:00] <lld> clearly another case of far right violence
[05:58:47] <nutherguy> That's a bit of a tough one lld - the "victim" was looking for a fight
[05:59:16] <nutherguy> bringing a can of bear spray to a gunfight isn't usually a winning move
[05:59:56] <nutherguy> This one is a lot less clear cut than Kyle Rittenhouse - not sure the shooter was justified or not

[12:05:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> desktops > * like, objectively and measurably on every front except portability.
[12:05:31] <requerdanos> When I was in middle school, laptops had not yet been invented.
[12:06:17] <nutherguy> we still had Underwood typewriters when I was in junior high
[12:06:38] <requerdanos> Same here.
[12:06:39] <nutherguy> didn't see a selectric until sophomore year

[12:07:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> the 386 was invented while i was in middle school
[12:07:20] <nutherguy> of course, we did have Etch-a-Sketch
[12:08:08] <AzumaHazuki> portability is important to me. this world is not stable and i can't take settling in anywhere for granted, at least not yet
[12:08:57] <AzumaHazuki> maybe by holidays '21 i'll be in Hamilton and can dig in a bit
[12:08:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> well okay but we're not talking any form of portability, we're talking having to move it more than once a month portability
[12:09:07] <requerdanos> laptops yield portability. This workstation on which we are not conversing is a desktop with three 40" TV sets mounted on the wall as its monitor

[12:24:36] <AzumaHazuki> so much for the tolerant...left...? =P
[12:24:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> Bytram, isn't. getting that little done is still being a pain though
[12:24:50] <nutherguy> left the tolerance at work
[12:25:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> has nothing to do with tolerance or free speech. we've been over this and it's not even an argument you agree with.
[12:25:40] <Bytram> we have had a clear rule against outright, self-promoting SPAM since the start of this site.
[12:25:49] <AzumaHazuki> i know, i'm mocking the idiots who make it
[12:25:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> ahh
[12:26:07] <AzumaHazuki> hence the "chicken Spongebob meme caption casing"
[12:26:25] <Bytram> we *did* toy with the idea of *maybe* running paying ads, and that quickly came to a screeching halt.
[12:26:40] <AzumaHazuki> ...i may just write a script to filter certain peoples' output that way to remind myself not to take them seriously
[12:26:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> yup, our bar for getting slapped down for what you say is pretty damned high but it does exist
[12:26:59] <Bytram> ^^^ yep
[12:27:49] <Bytram> I recall using darn near all my mod points one day do deal with an APK spamfest a couple(?) months ago.

[12:28:15] <AzumaHazuki> he mad at me =P
[12:28:16] <nutherguy> ditto here
[12:28:28] <Bytram> AzumaHazuki: who "he"
[12:28:31] <AzumaHazuki> APK
[12:28:42] <nutherguy> start with 10 points, suddenly realize there are only three left
[12:28:52] <Bytram> I suspect he mad at everybody
[12:29:02] <nutherguy> he's mad at his own mama
[12:29:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> the bar for false positives on the autoban system is going to be about 100x higher than for normal old filters. both cause i don't wanna cheese off users and cause i don't wanna have to fix it.
[12:29:21] <AzumaHazuki> the best part is when he goes on multi-page rants that look like a paranoid schizophrenic babbling into a speech-to-text program, and then ends them by threatening to sue me for questioning his sanity
[12:29:32] <AzumaHazuki> please do, APK. Submit those posts as evidence
[12:29:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> ain't apk doing the latest round anyway
[12:29:42] <Bytram> "sucks to be him"
[12:29:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> false flag
[12:30:12] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: Ahhh, I didn't dive into it too closely for this w/e's tirade
[12:30:39] <nutherguy> I think there were only about half dozen this weekend
[12:30:41] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: did you add a filter? (#230 IIRC)
[12:30:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> doofus used the same ip he's been posting from some of his other accounts for one of the spams
[12:30:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah
[12:31:09] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard++ Impressive!
[12:31:09] <Bender> karma - themightybuzzard: 383
[12:32:42] <Bytram> one of the challenges in testing AB is there are filters that can kick in for duplicate comments, so I need to make each test comment different from the others, and yet still cover the significant permutations with the possibility of running retests later.
[12:32:45] <AzumaHazuki> "his other accounts?" so this is a registered user?
[12:33:23] <TheMightyBuzzard> the real apk is a registered user. was here early on using the account we saved him.
[12:33:31] <Bytram> note: IP != person... I've seen plenty enough false positives over the years.
[12:33:52] <AzumaHazuki> well, yeah, that's basic knowledge
[12:34:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> Bytram, behavior is consistent across all linkable accounts
[12:34:13] <AzumaHazuki> but "some of his other accounts" implies a registered user. who is this lamer?
[12:34:27] * TheMightyBuzzard shurgs
[12:34:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> haven't decided to list them all out for everyone's mockery or not yet

[12:35:07] * nutherguy notes that connecting through NYC VPN server blocks anon posts
[12:35:26] <Bytram> as muc as I would personally enjoy doind that, it would set a worrisome precedent, I'm all *against* that.
[12:35:46] <AzumaHazuki> what worrisome precedent? if someone is being an asshat they can suffer the consequences
[12:35:51] <nutherguy> principaled people are unfun sometimes
[12:36:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> more or less my feelings on the matter. i ain't without spite but i don't want spite becoming a metric for site administration

[12:37:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> nicotine++ #need more vespene gas
[12:37:20] <Bender> karma - nicotine: 789
[12:38:17] <Bytram> it invites further request that we "open kimono" on all data we have, and even interpretting IP hashes is not without its pitfalls (as I've found to my chagrin over the years), there is enough acrimony already between some folks, I'd rather not given them any more ammo to mistakenly go after each other with even more Dunning-Kruger assurance.
[12:39:39] <Bytram> what is that rule about coincidence and causality or somesuch?
[12:42:14] <AzumaHazuki> i don't think there's anything wrong with saying "Disclaimer: IPs are not necessarily people. BUT, this registered account $NAME and the following asshatted ACs appear to be posting from the same one"
[12:42:46] <nutherguy> even the dumbest AC can find new IPs to use though
[12:43:10] <AzumaHazuki> sure, but it's incentive for people with accounts not to be complete morons
[12:43:28] <nutherguy> hmmmmmmm - I dove into that shit once
[12:43:39] <nutherguy> but I never offered the data to anyone
[12:43:40] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, downsides would outweigh the up sides though i think
[12:43:47] <AzumaHazuki> > implying you don't shitpost as AC
[12:44:10] <nutherguy> had a guy who kept a database on EVERYONE on the forum
[12:44:15] <nutherguy> thought he was untouchable
[12:44:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> why would he? he shitposts under his normal account
[12:44:28] <AzumaHazuki> duh: to make it seem like he has more support than he does
[12:44:36] <nutherguy> sent him a PM, asking him to meet me at the convenience store on his street
[12:44:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> 50 karma's enough for most folks
[12:45:01] <AzumaHazuki> most ACs with an agenda are fairly easy for me to figure out even without the hashes. peoples' diction and grammar doesn't change too much
[12:45:32] <FatPhil> I can tell ari in AC mode within 2 or 3 words usually.
[12:45:41] <Bytram> thatz unless theys makes a reel effort to due sew
[12:45:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> ari's about the only one i can spot without thinking. our resident DiD guy i can only spot half the time.
[12:46:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> but ari only posts ac when he can't be arsed to log in. he ain't hiding or anything.
[12:46:17] <AzumaHazuki> AC astroturfing is pathetic though
[12:46:28] <Bytram> iz hardz to not ooze awl of won's vocabulary
[12:46:30] <AzumaHazuki> if your opinions and ideas can't stand alone they don't deserve to
[12:46:31] <nutherguy> Isn't there an Ari impersonator too?
[12:46:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> not one worth a damn
[12:47:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> pretty much all the things you think might be ari, are ari being too lazy to log in
[12:47:46] <FatPhil> Nah, I'm pretty sure ari hides behind AC a lot of the time, he flips into ari mode just briefly, then then seems to drop back out, that's deliberate design.
[12:47:49] <nutherguy> he is promiscuous then
[12:48:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> FatPhil, you can see the hashes. ain't hard to check.
[12:48:29] <Bytram> nutherguy: s/pro/amateur/
[12:48:29] <SedBot> <Bytram> <nutherguy> he is amateurmiscuous then

[12:53:18] <TheMightyBuzzard> surprised the hell outa me when trump carried it. i went to bed after that on election night cause it was obvious he had it in the bag.
[12:53:33] <Bytram> yeah, but last I checked (and that was a *long* time ago) it was cheap crap like a 1/2-inch-long plastic pistol or a tiny booklet of lick-n-stick temporary tattoos
[12:53:52] <AzumaHazuki> didn't surprise me at all. even in Madison there were a lot of stupid motherfuckers running around

[12:57:29] <AzumaHazuki> keep telling yourself that. me, all i see is the same shit in different forms
[12:57:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> sesame street solved that long long ago.

[12:58:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah but you refuse to actually gather any evidence, so you're going on ancient stereotypes that are just wrong.
[12:58:27] <Bytram> I'm far from representative (of course). I live in the NE US and have learned how to say "thank you" in 20+ languages... I wonder how many people in the deep south could do that?
[12:59:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> Bytram, probably about as many as in the north. there's a sizeable somali population in amarillo for instance.
[12:59:57] <Bytram> granted there's prolly not that many people in the world who could do that, but I find it sad at how many people only know one language.
[13:00:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> i had to go to WI before i ever even considered there might be anti-indian racism happening in the US

[13:02:13] <Bytram> In NE, we have a fair number of french-canadians as well as a goodly number of mexicans -- so I'd understand common knowledge of "merci" and "gracias"
[13:02:59] <Bytram> "danke" is prolly one most people know/recognize, as well.
[13:03:10] <nutherguy> I was mildly surprised to meet Mexicans in Rhode Island
[13:03:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> Bytram, yar. they're common knowledge down these parts as well
[13:03:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> nutherguy, less ICE issues farther from the border. whole lot of mexicans up chicago way fer instance.

[13:10:56] <RandomFactor> If they decide to get frequent you need to see a doc, but generally they are nuisance class
[13:11:47] <RandomFactor> think like a fractal rainbow in the middle of your vision
[13:11:52] <nutherguy> Hmmmmm - interesting
[13:11:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> something that really cracked me up learning japanese was learning the phrase "the cat is sleeping". that's possibly the most redundant sentence ever.
[13:12:12] <Bytram> I described it to my doc a few years back; did not seem at all alarmed. called it this: https://en.wikipedia.org
[13:12:13] <systemd> ^ 03Scotoma - Wikipedia
[13:12:57] <nutherguy> Thats even more interesting with the graphic
[13:13:06] <Bytram> yes, this one: https://en.wikipedia.org
[13:13:23] <RandomFactor> the graphic is good, now make it more fractal and colorful
[13:13:37] <nutherguy> what if you see that, but don't get any headache?
[13:14:06] <RandomFactor> a few times probably not a big deal. If it becomes frequent doctor time
[13:14:33] <nutherguy> heh, I've described it to two doctors who acted like they didn't understand English
[13:14:57] <RandomFactor> mine showed up at a high stress time of my life fwiw, not that sample size of one means much
[13:15:12] <Bytram> mine tends to be flipped left to right, but with the same kind of 'arc'. starts about the size of one of those flowers in that pic and slowly moves to the right as it eventually expands to, and past, my vertical field-of-view.

[13:16:57] <nutherguy> Oh well - I never intended to go to my funeral with a perfect body - I've done my best to wear it out, LOL
[13:17:03] <RandomFactor> probably about a 30 minutes process or so
[13:17:39] <RandomFactor> been a couple of years since I've had one <knock on wood>
[13:18:07] <Bytram> that's why I called it a 'visual migraine' at first. no real 'pain', per se, but I do get a queasy stomach sometimes and a feeling like, umm, very hard to describe -- like having very smudged glasses or an ear that's plugged with water -- but not the initial onset but more like 5-10 minutes later.
[13:18:44] * nutherguy should make fresh pot of coffee for the other half
[13:19:13] <RandomFactor> really glad they don't come with migraine pain. One dude at work gets laid out for hours in a closet sometimes :-(
[13:19:21] <Bytram> as often as once a day for a stretch of a week or so, and other times maybe once a month or two.
[13:20:08] <RandomFactor> that's about frequency when i was getting them, but for whatever (maybe stress reduction maybe not?) reason haven't had one in recent history
[13:20:09] <AzumaHazuki> i've never gotten those, but a few times a year i'll get a miserable headache and everything is way too bright and loud
[13:20:15] <Bytram> RandomFactor: same with a boss I had, but much worse. Would have to go to the ER for a special drug cocktail to get it treated.
[13:20:17] <AzumaHazuki> i can't stand up during those
[13:20:48] <RandomFactor> yeah, those sort of migraines sound un-fun to me Az
[13:21:12] <AzumaHazuki> they are hideous. they come with some kind of soul-crushing dysphoria component too

[14:17:36] <FatPhil> I guess you've gone from livelock to deadlock.
[14:27:03] <AzumaHazuki> uh, damn. i had a bunch with breakfast
[14:36:59] <RandomFactor> It's a false dichotomy anyway. You can do both.
[14:45:41] <TheMightyBuzzard> i'm with FatPhil. food before lunch is crazy talk.
[14:45:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> except pancakes
[14:46:19] * RandomFactor had pancakes this morning
[14:46:43] <nutherguy> Hush - you'll have me in the kitchen making hotcakes
[14:47:03] * RandomFactor doesn't mention the blueberry syrup
[14:47:36] <TheMightyBuzzard> shit, i have pancake fixings in the kitchen and i done made myself pancake hungry.
[14:47:40] <nutherguy> Nope. I order real maple syrup from up north - still about 3 quarts left in the last jug
[14:48:15] <RandomFactor> nod, just opted for blueberry today
[14:48:25] <nutherguy> I'm not a real maple snob, but I can tell you that New England syrup is better than Michigan
[14:48:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> easier around here to just tap a tree. tn ain't by any means short of maple trees.
[14:49:16] <RandomFactor> I like real maple since it's just not as over-the-top-sugar-sweet
[14:49:21] <nutherguy> I think the trees need a longish cold spell to make good syrup
[14:52:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> no idea, i mostly bought aunt jemima until they caved to social^Wstupid justice
[14:54:09] <nutherguy> Wife and kids are real southerners - they prefer cheap imitation syrup and/or sorghum syrup
[14:54:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> fuck a buncha sorghum. rather have just butter.
[14:55:13] <nutherguy> imo, sorghum is alright, if you don't use much
[14:55:26] <nutherguy> too much is too much
[14:57:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> huh, that preference is apparently a byproduct of the sugar embargo by the north during the civil war
[14:57:53] <nutherguy> What about cornbread vs crackers?
[14:58:09] <nutherguy> she and I had a couple good arguments over crackers, LOL!
[14:59:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> no contest. cornbread is far more versatile and delicious. not that i'm above eating a cracker.
[14:59:25] <nutherguy> That's her view -
[14:59:40] <lld> that awkward silence when "cracker grenades" are mentioned
[14:59:43] <nutherguy> I got nothing against cornbread, but I grew up eating crackers with my soups and stuff
[15:00:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> you can't throw sausage and cheese in a skillet with a bunch of crackers, bake it, and have anything worth eating
[15:00:40] <nutherguy> No, but that's what cornbread is for, lol
[15:00:58] <nutherguy> and hardtack - when I started making that for the boys, they loved it
[15:01:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh, i'm largely indifferent on that front. my plain old cornbread never makes it beyond the butter knife before consumption.
[15:01:51] <FatPhil> not keen on cornflour things, both texture and taste have issues
[15:01:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> mind ya, i butter stuff like folks in WI do. if you can physically make the cornbread absorb more butter, you didn't put enough on it.
[15:02:09] <nutherguy> agreed on that
[15:02:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> FatPhil, not a bourbon fan then?
[15:02:38] <nutherguy> I'm kinda partial to those little cornbread sticks though
[15:03:11] <FatPhil> If anything to do with the source grain passes the distillation step, then you're doing the distillation step wrong!
[15:03:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> FatPhil, you reflux heretic!
[15:03:51] <FatPhil> I do only dabble with bourbon, I'm more of a scotch person.
[15:04:07] <FatPhil> 4R SB is great though, probably the best I can remember having.
[15:04:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> bourbon's become very, very competitive recently as far as quality and nuance go
[15:04:29] <FatPhil> not too expensive here, either, only about thirty-low per bottle, IIRC.
[15:04:38] <FatPhil> It's become fashionable
[15:04:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya, 4r is good but baker's 107 is the best i've had.
[15:04:49] <FatPhil> The hipsters have arrived.
[15:05:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> heh, there's a bourbon club at our favorite liquor store but it's all old TN whiskey drinkers.
[15:05:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> we never STOPPED drinking the stuff
[15:06:42] <FatPhil> A mate here is pretty keen on the bourbon, and I've suggested that he run a tasting evening where we each (8-12 people) chip in about 30e, and get to try ~10 different bourbons
[15:06:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> seriously, double shot of baker's 107, glencarin glass, 0.5-1 teaspoon of water, and let it sit 5m
[15:07:13] <FatPhil> not managed to get 10 people to agree to it though, in particular with a 30e/face cost.
[15:07:28] <FatPhil> And with only 5 people, it's horribly expensive.
[15:07:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> true but you have leftovers
[15:07:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> or very, very drunk people
[15:07:54] <nutherguy> What is that, liter bottles?
[15:08:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> 750ml(fifth)
[15:08:13] <nutherguy> KK
[15:08:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> baker's 107 runs bout $65 a fifth. fucking worth it.
[15:10:06] <FatPhil> We get several of the Jim Beam "Jim Beam" specials here, but not that other brand
[15:10:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> tr is fanaticizing over balcones at the moment cause he finally found a bottle
[15:10:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> i think baker's is a Jim Beam product
[15:10:45] <FatPhil> yup, tis
[15:11:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> balcones is some guys out of texas basically making scotch. but like texans would make scotch.
[15:11:28] <FatPhil> Bourbon mate was with me in the booze shop last week, and he pointed out one of the Jim Beams ith extra $$$s on it, and he said it was "shit".
[15:12:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> i can't stand ordinary old jim beam, so if it tasted even similar to that i'd agree with him.
[15:12:04] <FatPhil> Double Oak, perhaps? twice the $$ of the normal
[15:12:26] <FatPhil> designed for mixing with coke
[15:12:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> balcones? fucking expensive. charred oak, peat smoked, yadda yadda yadda
[15:13:35] <FatPhil> anyway, I've got a shit ukrainian lager in my glass, and 80 degrees of celcius on my sauna stones, so I'm heading -->> that way

[15:14:41] <nutherguy> later.
[15:29:45] <FatPhil> sleep tight
[15:30:11] <Bytram> yeah, won't be long before I'm in bed, too.

[16:04:24] <FatPhil> crappy lager + crappy supermarket brand lemonade -> pretty damn decent radler.
[16:35:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> best tasting pancakes i ever made. didn't have any milk and had to use heavy cream
[16:36:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> i kinda want a nap now though
[16:37:03] <lld> I wish I had a pancake made entirely of cream
[16:37:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, that nap thing sounds wonderful
[16:47:23] <FatPhil> no naps till bedtime!
[16:47:33] <FatPhil> now I have a crappy russian lager in my glass - good times!
[17:34:06] <FatPhil> woh, 5 sessions, and I'm sweating like a fucking pig- need more fluids...

[19:24:18] <halibut> Concerning the earlier talk about tar and the associated XKCD https://xkcd.com
[19:24:19] <systemd> ^ 03404 Not Found
[19:24:21] <halibut> GNU tar is not the standard UNIX tar. The typical command tar -cf file.tar dir does not work on Solaris, for example.
[19:24:24] <halibut> See, for example, https://www.explainxkcd.com (great site, by the way), and https://unix.stackexchange.com
[19:24:25] <systemd> ^ 031168: tar - explain xkcd
[19:24:26] <systemd> ^ 03How can I create a compressed tar in sun solaris?
[19:24:27] <halibut> Note that the -c is typical of GNU tar, but does not work on Solaris (needs to be just c, not -c).
[19:24:30] <halibut> Also, note that if f is not given (and it is f, not -f as in GNU tar), the tar on a Solaris installation will attempt to write to a tape device, not stdout like GNU tar.
[19:24:33] <halibut> I just wanted to point out that the examples given in the chat here might work with GNU tar, but also may have detonated the bomb in the XKCD, if it were expecting a non-GNU tar variant. That is part (but not all) of the difficulty with tar.

[20:39:24] <Fuck_Antifa_Fags> You always post the good ones right after I get EBP-banned. Oh well, I suppose it's back to reading my favorite anti-Jew articles of the day.

[23:14:19] <FatPhil> you can see there's some taint in the abstract. "we ... mammals ... by ... moles ... [one species] ..."
[23:14:29] <FatPhil> so, that ain't really about mammals is it?
[23:14:58] <FatPhil> however, the write-up's even worse, final paragraph. The "mother nature" comment.
