[07:26:35] <FatPhil> none of the pages are rendering sanely?
[07:26:45] <chromas> works4me
[07:27:10] <chromas> hm, but not when logged out
[07:27:22] <FatPhil> just woken up, reloaded a page from last night - it's fucked
[07:27:33] <chromas> looks mobiley
[07:28:18] <FatPhil> responded to a khallow post, highlighting his entire ignorance of everything to do with the real world, and the server just gives me an "OK. Page has moved _here_" page
[07:28:57] <chromas> Must be time to reinstall Windows
[07:29:05] <FatPhil> chromas--
[07:29:05] <Bender> karma - chromas: 342
[07:29:09] <FatPhil> tell me more...
[07:29:49] <chromas> Don't use the Windows troubleshooters. They've literally never done anything useful for anyone, even once, in the entirety of their existence.
[07:32:10] <FatPhil> I was phoned by the bank yesterday, because my g/f had hacked into their system, knowing all the secret answers to their questions. "Oh yeah, that's my g/f" I said, and put their mind at rest.
[07:32:39] <chromas> You had me in the first half
[07:33:06] <chromas> Then disappointment ensued when it didn't turn out to be haxx because of not running javascript or something
[07:33:26] <FatPhil> I have now "officially raised a complaint" against them
[07:33:34] <chromas> hah
[07:33:36] <FatPhil> they will contact me
[07:33:51] <chromas> we'll totally get on that right away, 'sir'
[07:33:59] <FatPhil> I wonder what authentication protocol I should use
[07:34:26] <FatPhil> "what was your favourite flavour of ice lolly when you were 7?"
[07:35:00] <FatPhil> g/f had already told me that she's gone in as me, so I wasn't surprised.
[07:35:45] <chromas> account suspended: eula violated by allowing third-party to access accounts
[07:35:48] <FatPhil> the missing twenty two fucking thousand fucking pounds was probably bobbing around the river thames because we misaddressed the envelope.
[07:36:18] <chromas> an envelope with a czeckque?
[07:36:28] <FatPhil> what I did was the stuuuuuuuupid thing of addressing the mail to the address that was on the top of the bank statement.
[07:36:50] <FatPhil> I know - you never thought i was that stupid, but apparently I am
[07:36:54] <chromas> that's pretty dumb. why would the bank be at its own address?
[07:37:15] <FatPhil> I know - oh, how we laughed
[07:38:10] <chromas> [sardonic laughter]
[07:38:22] <FatPhil> so all I've got to do is get the issuers of the cheques to reissue them, and all will be good - because I now know the correct address. An address that has never been on any of the correspondence between them and me ever.
[07:38:50] <FatPhil> I've worked out that the easiest thing is just for my mother to die again, and we can start from there.
[07:40:19] <FatPhil> don't stop making jokey comments because of that line. I won't be offended.
[07:40:41] <chromas> well actually I was gonna mention you could use her to vote while you're at it
[07:40:51] <FatPhil> you're part of the cure, not the problem.
[07:41:10] <FatPhil> Noooo! she votes for Brexit!!!!!
[07:41:26] <FatPhil> (I'm not actually sure about that)
[07:41:43] <FatPhil> However, she did read the Daily Mail...

[07:42:59] <c0lo> so, chromas, are you gonna bounce them servers or lynx it i?
[07:43:12] <chromas> I s'pose I should
[07:43:30] <chromas> hm, so they're allegedly bringing back King of the Hill
[07:43:36] <chromas> No one's ever really gone

[07:47:45] <chromas> I should create a zuper script that SSHs into all the boxes and tries to run the bounce script all in parallel

[07:48:36] <c0lo> then you'll have to rewrite systemd. Properly this time.
[07:50:04] <chromas> I once dreamt up a replacement init that had parallel startup and automatic dependencies. Alas, I'm not smart enough to implement it. But maybe if I think up thing else, someone will do all the work for me
[07:50:30] <FatPhil> My mate Aaro from Nokia
[07:50:35] <chromas> I know that if it has anything to do with fuse then it will turn out to already exist
[07:50:56] <chromas> oh my feckin' gyawd, why no fuse/init integration?
[07:51:01] <FatPhil> I fed him that idea ~8 years ago, and he implemented it on his own linux
[07:51:17] <inz> c0lo, by properly do you mean that it should also include kernel and gfx stack from the get go?
[07:51:18] <chromas> Booting itself could be a filesystem
[07:51:38] <FatPhil> well, i fed him the idea 10 years ago, it took him 2 years to get it working.
[07:52:31] <FatPhil> It was based on makefiles. In order to achieve state X we must first attain states P, Q and R.
[07:52:57] <chromas> Instead of scrolling, it should show a multi-column list of all the soyvices with little unicode checkboxes that fill in as they start up
[07:53:14] <FatPhil> eggplants?
[07:53:25] <chromas> That's only when something bones the computer

[07:55:14] <FatPhil> You do realise that's what wife beaters say?
[07:55:57] <chromas> If your shirts are sentient, it's probably long past time to wash them
[07:56:16] <FatPhil> But on a lighter note, have you been to any massage parlours in Georgia recently.
[07:56:56] <inz> c0lo, so that it pulls in 384 different implementations of every trivial thing and requires 4 weeks and 512 TB of disk to build?
[07:58:02] <Microsoft> Some people speculate about Linux replacing the Windows kernel. That's fake news, of course, but actually, I'm going to bring back Xenix.
[07:58:02] <chromas> We've got our own rooty tootie point'n'shooties.
[07:58:04] <inz> Microsoft, your tech support keeps calling me, but I can't get their instructions work on my Linux
[07:58:38] <FatPhil> it's definitely best if you can depend on two different libraries thateach depend on different incompatible versions of a core library.
[07:58:45] <Microsoft> You should be running Windows 10. It's free.
[07:59:09] <inz> Nope, not free, costs a soul-and-a-half
[07:59:16] <FatPhil> "free" as in wild animals let out of a cage?
[07:59:27] <FatPhil> or "free" as in jazz?
[07:59:33] <Microsoft> But I need your soul. I'm hungry.
[08:00:43] <chromas> ooh, imagine Flatpaks take over the Linux world, except they're setup to depend on each other
[08:02:56] <inz> FatPhil, "free" as in "your data is free to us"
[08:18:53] <c0lo> inz, whatever it take to be *proper* Rust
[08:18:56] <FatPhil> People generally seem to want software to be free as in speech and/or
[08:18:56] <FatPhil> free as in beer. Unfortunately rather too much of it is free as in jazz.

[13:17:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> fair nuff. messages and comment counts aren't done realtime at page render, they're done on a timed basis every so often.

[13:17:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> no, now is the time on sprockets when we dance
[13:18:27] <Bytram> on Mar 1: check apache logs before attempting to restart slashd
[13:18:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> Bytram, what do we have that does stuff on a timed basis for us. sort of like cron might but not cron.
[13:19:29] <Bytram> those are on H/F but we always work on F to keep us sane
[13:21:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> it's nearly as annoying as systemd but came to us with slashcode

[13:32:15] <TheMightyBuzzard> wrote a cron script a few minutes ago to restart slashd every week so hopefully this won't be a problem again until i can rip slashd out entirely and just use cron.

[13:33:20] * TheMightyBuzzard tests it
[13:33:21] <c0lo> Now, you only need a chrond script to update the cron schedule.
[13:33:32] <TheMightyBuzzard> systemd can handle that

[17:33:41] <FatPhil> I've seen the Atlantic - it's scary*1000
