[07:36:29] <Ingar> today, you stretch out a trivial topic into a 15 minute youtube video
[07:37:11] <janrinok> morning Ingar
[07:37:41] <chromas> gotta make it long enough for the algo boost, but it's all padded with meme edits
[07:37:52] <janrinok> morning chromas
[07:38:02] <chromas> g'day janrinok, Ingar
[07:38:45] <chromas> I was looking through the irc logs and remembered the g'day script
[07:39:00] <janrinok> I had forgotten it too
[07:39:46] <Ingar> good morning janrinok , chromas
[07:39:47] * chromas tosses janrinok a bottle of horse chowder
[07:40:00] * janrinok necks it on one!
[08:00:18] <janrinok> Ingar - have you done any photography recently?
[08:00:44] <janrinok> was the 'scope cleaning worth the effort?

[08:04:20] <janrinok> I've got a nice sunny day, my gardening chores are all done, and I can sit back an enjoy it
[08:22:42] <AlwaysNever> janrinok: nice sunny Sunday in the garden, it looks good, will you go to town for a vermouth?
[08:27:03] <janrinok> got some here at home!
[08:28:12] <janrinok> but my go-to tipple if I want one will be a Ricard and ice. Not everyone's favourite but very popular in this particular region of France.
[08:29:39] <janrinok> AlwaysNever, I sent the email about mysql to ag - but it is the weekend and I do not expect him to do anything other than enjoy the time with his family.
[08:38:03] <janrinok> 'go to town' can have different interpretations. Many villagers here actually do go to the local bar in the village centre for a drink or two.
[08:40:49] <chromas> swap out mysql for postgres ;)
[08:50:01] <chromas> or redis
[08:50:35] <chromas> everyone hates redis now though because it's trying to keep poor little companies like amazon from making billions from it for free
[08:57:00] -!- bambi [bambi!~bambi@185.252.npu.hq] has joined #soylent
[09:12:10] <janrinok> I've switched to mariadb. I'm not sure what the benefits of using postgres are supposed to be. The web gives some contradictions between reviews.
[09:12:46] <janrinok> Plus I want to be compatible with SN - if they switch then I will probably switch too.
[09:23:33] -!- bambi has quit [Quit: Client closed]
[09:25:24] <Ingar> mariadb is perfectly fine
[09:26:00] <janrinok> I'm happy with it
[09:38:09] <chromas> do it unix-style and use the fs itself as a database
[09:38:14] <chromas> every comment a file
[09:38:27] <janrinok> lol
[09:40:10] <chromas> ls 66502
[09:40:10] <chromas> children/ comment moderations
[09:40:50] <chromas> hm, or each child would be its own dir
[09:41:51] <chromas> will the new SN get a fuse driver?
[09:42:02] <chromas> I want to mount my subs
[09:44:09] <janrinok> submit a comment as a patch to rehash using upstart, we can test it on dev, which bears little resemblance to the live code that we are using but, hey, who cares?
[09:51:07] <chromas> we can just skip rehash and people can just ftp in their comments
[09:51:22] <chromas> ftps, of course, not sftp
[09:53:50] <janrinok> :)
[10:18:59] <AlwaysNever> janrinok: with 'go to town' is meant going to the local cafeterias to partake with the locals at the vermouth time, not going to town to just buy the vermouth in some store
[10:23:25] <AlwaysNever> in some regions of Spain which are next to the French border it's called "hacer el vermut" o "la hora hora del vermut", people on Sunday as they get out of the mass in church just walk 50 metres to the other side of the plaza and flood the bars for their vermouth time!
[10:24:31] <janrinok> exactly, except some don't even make to the church in the first instance. I prefer to sit in my garden and enjoy the world around me.
[10:25:47] <AlwaysNever> the vermouth time has to be done sitting in the cafeteria's terrace and it is mandatory to greet and meet those passing by
[10:26:35] <AlwaysNever> you will get invited to sit down and order your vermouth to be served to the table
[10:26:53] <AlwaysNever> a thus the Sunday morning goes by
[10:29:50] <janrinok> I am not constrained by the timings of church services, and I can enjoy my Ricard in peace and quiet. I do, however, join in the local market social side which sounds very similar to the event you describe :)
[10:34:19] <AlwaysNever> oh, the wonders of the local market!, in the villages of Spain it happens one day of the week, a different day for each village because the market is setup by itinerant sellers from the region
[10:39:39] <AlwaysNever> it's all very "old schoold", customs from ancient times when nobody had cars to go aroun.
[10:40:51] <AlwaysNever> im the fruit stand you has for kiwis, they don't have but they tell you "I'll bring them next week for you"
[10:40:59] <AlwaysNever> *you ask
[10:53:50] <janrinok> It is the same here regarding the market. Each village has its own market day and the major market in the local town appears on a Tuesday. Everything from fish, meat, fruit, vegetables. needles, threads and buttons, seasonal clothing, and the usual tourist crap between Easter and the start of October.
[11:45:13] <fab23> AlwaysNever: don't remember exactly, but it was in the early 200x years, as they released a last minute update for the 2kY and it worked. :)
[12:21:11] <Runaway> OK, it's morning now jan
[12:22:39] <janrinok> lol - np. I saw that your other account disappeared immediately so I assumed that you were not trying to get online immediately
[12:23:01] <AlwaysNever> fab: you did shut your BBS down for lack of users dialing in?, or because you had other projects on the intertubes?
[12:23:35] <Runaway> Drinking my first cup of coffee, then headed out to do my chores.
[12:23:55] <Runaway> Slept almost an hour past sunrise
[12:24:03] <janrinok> No chores for me today - it is Sunday and I do try to take it easier
[12:24:58] <Runaway> The recent additions to my chores get vocal if I'm late
[12:25:05] <janrinok> lol
[12:26:04] <Runaway> I also need to finish the chicken run before they outgrow their nursery coop.
[12:26:29] <fab23> AlwaysNever: unfortunately I don't remember, but probably because it was not used any more.
[12:39:46] <fab23> AlwaysNever: could be that I turned it off in early 2000 when I moved into a different region and got new phone numbers.
[12:41:36] <fab23> AlwaysNever: I only had a small group of users I did know personally, and at some point I started to run a proper mail server on the internet, which is still in use.
[12:44:23] <fab23> had permanent internet at home with proper static public IP addresses since Spring 1998, before I had also static, but only through an ISDN dial up long distance, so it was only online when needed. :)
[12:45:46] <fab23> one of the Amiga was doing this ISDN Dialup with an ISDN-Master and a special software device called iwan to an small ISP which had the same setup but for dial in. :)
