[00:05:43] <FatPhil> SkyMed sounds a bit dodgy
[00:06:32] <FatPhil> It's like Skynet, but it's spraying the planet with 5G chemtrails.
[00:07:32] <Bytram> tedious: Quite the contrary! SpaceX has been launching 50-plus-satellites-at-a time pretty regularly for a while. The scrub today was for a different client which had nothing to do with Starlink.
[00:07:48] <tedious> Oh!
[00:07:50] <Bytram> =w StarLink
[00:07:51] <systemd> Starlink is a satellite internet constellation operated by SpaceX providing satellite Internet access coverage to most of the Earth. The constellation - https://en.wikipedia.org
[00:10:03] <Bytram> tedious: This should give some idea where they are at: ( https://en.wikipedia.org )
[00:10:04] <systemd> ^ 03Starlink - Wikipedia ( https://en.wikipedia.org )
[00:22:11] <tedious> I can't tell if they're actually serving customers unless I give them my info and try to order.
[00:25:48] <FatPhil> did you see the photo of the modified car that has a starlink receiver in it?
[00:26:00] <tedious> No.

[00:29:24] <Bytram> nope!
[00:48:53] <Runaway1956> If wookies live 400 years, then Han Solo is like Chewbacca's 3rd or 4th pet human.
[00:56:24] <Bytram> Or, Chewbacca is a young wookie, and Han could be the first one (practice model)
[01:11:30] <chromas> When do we get the Baby Chewie show?
[01:11:55] <Runaway1956> About a year or so after you let Chewie seduce you.
[01:14:20] <chromas> I always wondered how they got Chewie from Chewbacca

[01:39:39] <drussell> I have customers in BC using Starlink successfully...
[01:39:54] <drussell> We transitioned off a couple Xplornet w/ voip to starlink...
[01:40:09] <drussell> I have the ping stats and some high load test traffic logs saved somewhere...
[01:40:26] <drussell> VERY power hungry, though... It has like a 120W POE adapter!
[01:41:01] <drussell> No good for cabins on solar, we are using WI-FI for the last mile at the lake sice it only needs a few watts, great benefit for those off-grid lake-access only cabins
[01:42:00] <tedious> Wow so much power.
[01:42:25] <tedious> I'm surprised but I guess that makes sense for sending a beam all the way into space.

[02:18:33] <progo> that power usage for Star Link's subscriber terminals is a big problem in desert areas
[02:18:59] <progo> there are subscribers who can't use their terminal much of the day because it must be outside and it's the worst kind of unmodifiable blackbox

[02:37:06] <chromas> The Russians are haxx0ring him
[02:39:28] <tedious> progo: Does that terminal have its power supply inside making even more heat?
[02:39:51] <progo> I think so yes
[02:40:04] <progo> I don't have one. I live just outside New York City
[02:40:08] <tedious> That's dumb then.
[02:40:28] <progo> you can find plenty of griping about it online, and how they give it to you at a price below cost. twice for the initial setup fee. after 2 die, you're screwed
[02:40:54] <tedious> I guess it's not going to work very well in the snow either.
[02:41:18] <progo> no, it goes through so much power that the waste heat will keep it clear of snow

[02:42:53] <progo> (see a comment)
[02:46:06] <progo> from the number of unit failure stories that seem to be floating around, I'd say it was designed by an inexperienced team of know-it-alls like an Internet-of-shit gadget
[02:46:16] <progo> without much thought to the environments it would be running in
[02:46:26] <progo> and to minimize cost

[02:48:29] <Runaway1956> Not this time tedious - my bouncer seems to have gone down for awhile
[02:48:50] <progo> key quote about the StarLink customer terminal in the article I sahred: "In the box, you get a router, a PoE injector, a simple tripod, and “Dishy McFlatface” — the innovative satellite dish with a permanently attached 100-ft Ethernet cable. "
[02:49:32] <progo> it doesn't have an ethernet socket inside a recessed weather protected slot. it has a permanent ethernet cable coming out of it. this is like a $1300 device

[03:12:53] <tedious> Runaway1956: freeznc.ru is obviously free right?
[03:13:10] <tedious> What is their service like and what did you have to do to sign up?
[03:13:12] <Runaway1956> Yes, it is free tedious
[03:13:31] <Runaway1956> Their service is somewhat reliable
[03:13:59] <Runaway1956> signing up right now may be difficult, they're officially shut down, but accounts aren't expiring
[03:14:04] <Runaway1956> Lemme find the link
[03:14:19] <tedious> Oh ok.
[03:14:37] <tedious> Probably not a good idea to start using them.
[03:15:55] <Runaway1956> visit ##freeznc on freenode - their channel is still alive despite freenode fockery
[03:17:27] <Runaway1956> Channel on libra.irc is empty as empty can be
[03:31:55] <chromas> Maybe you need an extra #
[03:32:13] <chromas> or maybe it's ##libreznc
[03:32:54] <Runaway1956> Nahhhh, joined both # and ## - nobody home - and it's libra, that's where everyone went when the crazy rich bastard took over freenode
[03:33:23] <Runaway1956> It's kinda like a horror story - everyone has died, I'm the last man standing or something like that
[03:34:09] <tedious> Oh wow so you mean it's shut down because the servers were abandoned or something?
[03:34:24] <tedious> Maybe the owner died?
[03:34:49] <Runaway1956> There's talk about moving to a new service, with more and better services, but nothing has happened in months
[03:35:35] <Runaway1956> https://freeznc.ru
[03:35:39] <systemd> ^ 03Free ZNC - www.znc.bg ( https://znc.bg )
[03:36:43] <Runaway1956> There's nothing new on that page either - I guess the "request" button still works, and you might even get an account working
[03:38:23] <tedious> It looks like their front door server is down.
[03:39:06] <Runaway1956> It's pretty screwed up, to be honest - I expect that one day, my account will stop working, and I'll never be able to log in again
[03:39:31] <tedious> Can't connect to irc.v.bg to start the sign up.
[03:39:39] <tedious> That's too bad.
[03:40:00] <tedious> I'm always sad when I hear about internet services that die and fade away.
[03:40:08] <Runaway1956> lemme look at that again . . .
[03:41:12] <Runaway1956> Right - forget irc.v.bg - instead use freenode ##freeznc
[03:42:59] <Runaway1956> if your request worked, then you can log in with /server freeznc.ru +6697 nick:pass
[03:45:23] <tedious> My shell is still banned from freenode too.
[03:45:48] <tedious> I'll just find a new home eventually.
[03:46:05] <Runaway1956> I'd like to slap that fool a few times who wrecked freenode
[03:46:23] <Runaway1956> a lot of good communities were disrupted all because of his ego
[03:48:04] <tedious> Didn't everybody just move to libera?
[03:48:24] <Runaway1956> I just did /list on freenode - scroll down several times, the most populated channel has 24 people logged in
[03:48:27] <tedious> Like it wasn't even a big debate everybody just did it.
[03:48:49] <Runaway1956> Yeah, they did - I think some have moved on from libera too though
[03:49:00] <tedious> I wonder how much he paid for that community that he destroyed?
[03:49:09] <tedious> What a waste of money.
[03:49:26] <tedious> Oh I didn't know libera had problems too.
[03:50:15] <Runaway1956> did /list on librairc, the most populated channel was #India with 124 logged in, I stopped scrolling there
[03:50:50] <Runaway1956> It's more alive than freenode, but it doesn't have tens of thousands logged in like the old days of freenode
[03:52:21] <Runaway1956> Now that I think about it a little more, I think maybe some of the old communities have created their own IRC services on their own servers
[03:52:34] <Runaway1956> I know I've seen a couple such messages posted
[03:55:23] <progo> oh boy. my heart goes out to all the students out there trying to attend "lectures" over phone calls in the last two years. I just opened a youtube video of a university professor interviewing a former microsoftie... the professor appears to be in a cavernous kitchen using her computer's on-board mic. she should know better than to do that
[03:57:22] <Runaway1956> Heh.
[03:57:39] * Runaway1956 wonders how his equipment would fare at such a task
[03:59:40] <t3> it's really great for the rest of us though, so many free videos available
[03:59:47] <progo> Freenode is a new network with the old name. one day last year they literally deleted all channels and user accounts
[03:59:59] <progo> that was my first soylent news post :^)
[04:00:53] <Runaway1956> Actually, they've deleted user accounts multiple times - I gave up on trying to maintain my own account
[04:00:54] <progo> AFAICT they did this because they couldn't figure out how to port data to new backend software
[04:01:01] <progo> multiple times?
[04:01:04] <progo> I stopped caring after 1
[04:01:17] <progo> amazing flagrant incompetence
[04:01:18] <Runaway1956> Yes, I re-registered my account twice, and gave up
[04:02:15] <Runaway1956> As I mentioned, there were literally tens of thousands of users logged in at any given time - possibly even hundreds of thousands
[04:02:19] <progo> if a service can't get password hashes to work on a new system, everyone groans and resets their passwords and moves on. (assuming this isn't a hostile trademark takeover.) if you delete all of the user's visible configuration, well, that's game over
[04:02:29] <Runaway1956> what they have now is less than a ghost of the old network
[04:03:30] <tedious> But your talking about freenode not libera right?
[04:03:56] <Runaway1956> Yes, talking about freenode - Libra is where everyone went when freenode was borked
[04:04:02] <progo> what was the drama at libera? why did a significant number of people sign up for libera and subsequently leave?
[04:04:15] <progo> libra is not the name of a chat network I know
[04:04:16] <tedious> I heard that freenode was having problems but I didn't hear anything about groups leaving libera too.
[04:04:34] <progo> I thought someone just said now in this thread that people left libera.chat
[04:04:54] <Runaway1956> irc.librairc.net
[04:05:27] <Runaway1956> I said that some seem to have lefe librairc - but I don't really know why
[04:05:42] <Runaway1956> it's simply not as populated as it was immediately after freenode was borked
[04:05:51] <progo> 22:48 <Runaway1956> Yeah, they did - I think some have moved on from libera too though
[04:06:21] <progo> okay
[04:06:28] <Runaway1956> I've never been to libera - I though you were just misspelling libra
[04:06:37] <Runaway1956> lemme check it out
[04:07:27] <progo> libera.chat is where all of the exiled freenet SYSADMINS went. the users followed
[04:08:29] <progo> there was some general FUD about all the admins starting a new network… and then Freenode made picking sides easy, by deleting everything
[04:09:14] <progo> the choice was: 1) follow the exiled sysadmins to libera.chat 2) stay with those who stole the brand name and domain name on freenode 3) pick one of the other open networks
[04:09:21] <progo> for channels, I mean
[04:09:27] <progo> some people did all 3 for a while
[04:11:32] <progo> librairc looks kinda silly. this is all it says without javascript on the home page: "Welcome to LibraIRC.net! Do not enter here if you are sane, the management can not be held responsible should you have entered the realms of insanity when you quit the server. :)"
[04:12:34] <progo> FAQs include: "what are solvent dyes" and "benefits of installing solar panels on your home"
[04:12:37] <progo> very nice
[04:12:42] <Runaway1956> Libera seems to be more populated than libra
[04:12:54] <progo> librairc.net seems to be barely functioning
[04:13:02] * progo didn't actually connect to their IRC servers
[04:14:50] <Runaway1956> Well, without knowing all the facts in any particular cases, I believe that some communities just felt let down by the services on all three IRC networks, and created their own
[04:18:10] <progo> is libreirc.net one of these threee? I've never heard of it and it looks like it was never a big deal
[04:18:28] <progo> it has SPAM in the FAQ pages
[04:18:40] <progo> *librairc.net, I mean
[04:18:47] <progo> now you've got me misspelling things
[04:20:13] <Runaway1956> yes, librairc.net
[04:20:27] <progo> when was it ever a thing? why are its FAQs full of spam now?
[04:20:28] <Runaway1956> and libera.chat
[04:21:52] <progo> no one is talking about librairc.net, that I can find in DDG's search index
[04:21:58] <Runaway1956> and I have no good answers for you - it's just a sad state of affairs now
[04:22:02] <progo> I think you're mistaking librairc.net for something else
[04:22:58] <Runaway1956> During the exodus from freenode, some people were talking about librairc, and I created an account -
[04:23:20] <Runaway1956> initially, I saw a lot of channels created that migrated from freenode, then it grew less and less populated
[04:23:44] <progo> well, libera.chat took off immediately with the momentum of the exiled freenode sysadmins. and it's the presumed inheritor of the freenode crowd today
[04:24:11] <Runaway1956> Yeah, looks like you're right, I followed the wrong crowd?
[04:24:26] <progo> seems so
[04:25:09] <Runaway1956> 'course, I mostly only connect with xchat, I don't see the same things people see when they use a web browser portal
[04:25:39] <Runaway1956> I'm thinking "Javascript? Ain't no javascript in IRC!"
[04:25:50] * progo hands Runaway1956 a few dozen animated user avatar icons
[04:25:53] <Runaway1956> Or . . . is there
[04:26:14] <progo> I'm using The Lounge, a split IRC proxy and html/js client. it's pretty basic and it works good for me
[04:26:28] <progo> works as well on a phone as a laptop -- provided you have some kind of decent text input for the phone
[04:26:47] <Runaway1956> hmmmm
[04:27:05] <progo> The Lounge doesn't support IRC user icons from K… k-something that created the protocol for it
[04:28:12] <progo> does Slack still support threaded-streamed conversations? I heard about that and saw some pictures, and swore never to willingly join a Slack space

[05:00:53] <SoyCow8915> Perhaps, an AC signal propagated through the air, interacting inside the body with conductive filaments that act when stimulated with certain frequencies.
[05:01:18] <SoyCow8915> Similar to chaff, there could be filaments of different sizes to accommodate different frequencies.
[05:01:57] <SoyCow8915> Those frequencies should also be of such frequency and power as to penetrate the skin.

[10:42:15] <boru> Today, I've learned that the German equivalent of "luser" is DAU: dĂĽmmster anzunehmender nutzer (dumbest assumable user)
[11:19:42] <FatPhil> both dĂĽmmster and nutzer are great words on their own
[11:21:17] <FatPhil> when commissioning a new system, I always create a local unprivileged user at the same time as I set up the root account, and that always has the username "luser" and real name "Local User".
[11:21:39] <FatPhil> yes, i did know what the term meant before i adopted the practice.

[15:04:32] <boru> Tehnically, you could make those yourself, as well.
[15:04:34] <Runaway1956> If you have primers, powder and projectile, you can reuse most casings several times.
