00:18 <@Dagmar> <-- not even a little surprised
00:18 <@Dagmar> "It appears that the items or services sold are defensive in nature."
00:18 <@Dagmar> We shall see as more people pore through the trove.
00:19 <@Dagmar> Unrelated: Apparently Lightscribe discs are only "good" for a certain length of time if you don't put something on the label
00:19 <@Dagmar> THere's no other explanation for what I'm seeing out of the label burns I've done in the past 48 hours
00:20 <@Dagmar> _Crescents_ of undarkened surface, not rings like I first thought.
00:21 <@Dagmar> I've got a different batch of them I'll try later tonight to see if it's just this one, although none of the others from this batch have shown any notable defects.
01:45 < aestetix> God I hate neoliberals.
01:45 < aestetix> They are as bad as neocons.
02:22 <@Dagmar> Yeah this batch of colored Lightscribe DVDs has been sitting on my shelf unused for too long.  The test burn with a different batch works fine.
02:40 < _NSAKEY> Dagmar: Memorex's old black CD-Rs used to be great.
02:40 <@Dagmar> It's not the media side that's the problem.  It's the label side.
02:40 < _NSAKEY> I found a pack that had been unopened for about 10 years, and am still slowly chipping away at it 2 years later.
02:40 < _NSAKEY> That isn't surprising.
02:47 <@Dagmar> THey're Lightscribe disks... The kind that the burner can actually laser burn text and pictures to the top side of
02:48 < _NSAKEY> Yeah, not surprised.
02:48 <@Dagmar> It's weird that most of the label comes out nice and dark
02:48 < _NSAKEY> The printed side always stood out to me as a possible point of failure.
02:48 <@Dagmar> ...and then straight to _nothing_ showing in places
02:48 < _NSAKEY> I'd rather just use a sharpie and decipher my serial killer handwriting.
02:49 <@Dagmar> Until I saw it was in crescent patterns, I thought maybe the label mode of the laser was failing
02:49 <@Dagmar> Considering the way they're positioned, I might try doing one twice over later on

08:17 <@Dagmar> It would be wrong to flood the upstairs apartment with chloroform, woudln't it
08:18 <@Evilpig> maybe.  let's hear your why, first.
08:19 < aestetix> Dagmar: the beast lives in your upstairs apartment now?
08:21 <@Dagmar> I don't know.  Whoever it is has decided that 7:00am is a perfectly fine time to be dragging large pieces of furniture around
08:21 <@Dagmar> Also, judging by their footfalls in comparison to mine, I am a goddamn ninja
08:21 <@Evilpig> maybe they're moving out
08:21 <@Evilpig> or moving in
08:22 <@Dagmar> They also have some feral children who like to stampede through the apartment during the day
08:23 < aestetix> Dagmar: duct-tape a few speakers to your ceiling and play goat porn
08:23 <@Dagmar> We have trees outside.  I don't see what's so hard bout tying two together with some paracord.  Add a carabiner and a leash and youv'e got a run where they'll be happy
08:23 <@Dagmar> aestetix: I have done worse, and if they make a habit of doing this, I may do worse again
08:24 <@Dagmar> You don't need duct tape
08:24 < aestetix> Dagmar: or tell them there is a children's petting zoo at crazybitch's house

10:51 <@Evilpig> damn fedex is running late this morning
10:52 <@Dolemite> They are playing whiffle ball with your power strip as a bat
10:52 <@Dolemite> It takes time to repackage it
10:52 <@Evilpig> very likely
10:52 <@Evilpig> I should head downstairs
10:59 < aestetix> apparently seattle just banned all outdoor smoking
11:09 <@oddball> So... Dennis Leary was right about soon only being able to smoke in your apartment under your blanket with the lights out.
11:10 < cyberanger> How is that....Most places seem to ban it anywhere but outside.
11:13 <@Mirage> Colorado had a ban a few years back of all outdoor smoking due to fire risk during drought.
11:13 < cyberanger> Now I can somewhat see that, but I'd expect it to be like any other burn ban, lifted when the need is gone
11:14 < cyberanger> (and I'm not even a smoker, it just makes no sense to me banning things that don't affect me, and if it does, it's cause it's my choice)
11:15 < cyberanger> </rant>
11:35 <@oddball> cyberanger: I think the answer you seek is "because Seatle."

11:37 < cyberanger> oddball: Yeah (And I thought New York was bad, but at least when I was in Buffalo, the Bars with outside patios still allowed it, if you were willing to smoke in the cold)
11:37 < cyberanger> Evilpig: lol
11:40 <@Evilpig> Mirage: a coworker just sent that to me and I laughed out loud so I knew I had to share
11:42 <@Mirage> My first thought was that you were setting your standards way too low and she'd better be hot
11:51 <@Evilpig> someone is asking about a zipline that is wheelchair friendly... is this even a thing?

12:05 <@dasunt> cyberanger: Don't bars in Buffalo have heaters on their outdoor patios?
12:22 <@rhia> Seattle banned smoking in public parks, you can still smoke in your own backyard, but, yeah - "because Seattle"
12:25 <@rhia> (and the 25' from entrance/exit windows and air intakes pretty much bans it from almost all public spaces)
12:26 <@Dolemite> Evilpig: Since all the ziplines pretty much require you to ride in a harness and the handlebars are really just there to give you something to hold onto...   I'd say that making a wheelchair friendly zipline isn't that tough to do.  Boy Scout Camp has a procedure for doing it for the COPE towers.
12:35 <@Evilpig> someone just called me to verify my name address, etc for se2600.com
12:40 <@oddball> "someone?"
12:41 <@Evilpig> yeah random old lady reading off a screen
12:43 <@oddball> Speaking of which, I expect to get the invoice for the printers that Dru used last year sometime this week.
12:51 < cyberanger> dasunt: Guessing the higher class ones
12:51 < cyberanger> or higher priced
12:51 < cyberanger> I always found the cheaper dives
12:58 <@Dolemite> oddball: An invoice the following July for product delivered in October?  Tell me how their business model is a success.  lol
12:59 <@oddball> Oh, they sent an invoice way back when.
13:00 <@oddball> I believe they've followed up on it, as well.
13:01 <@oddball> But... well... following up with Dru meant shouting into a black hole.
13:03 <@oddball> I know the owners/management, and they mentioned it recently.  I told them to send me the invoice and I'd talk to Elonka about it.
13:03 <@oddball> Surprise, surprise, Elonka has told me that she was told that everything was paid up.
13:06 -!- K4k [~K4k@unaffiliated/k4k] has joined #se2600
13:06 <@oddball> I'm guessing that the bill is low enough that they've written it off as "it would be nice to get paid, but more than it's worth to sue for it."
13:10 <@Evilpig> oddball: that blackhole is why I got contacted for the shirt order
13:14 < _NSAKEY> oddball: I was under the impression that after the t-shirt invoice, everything of that nature was supposed to be caught up.
13:15 <@Evilpig> _NSAKEY: you have to remember that dru's stance was "if nobody knows about it, it doesn't exist"
13:27 <@Dolemite> Evilpig: OMG.  I can totally see you buying a phone for your nephews and doing this -> http://m.newnownext.com/parents-buy-phone-for-sons-birthday-set-up-his-gay-dating-apps-with-username-ragingbottom96/07/2015/

13:44 < _NSAKEY> Every time I've seen something come up in front of Elonka, her response has been to handle things as swiftly as possible.

15:45 < _NSAKEY> s/would/with/
15:50 <@Evilpig> first weekend in nov?
15:51 < _NSAKEY> Evilpig: Yeah.
15:51 < _NSAKEY> It was the only weekend open at that hotel and the other Clarion.
15:52 < _NSAKEY> October 23-25 was open at the Preston, but Elonka's going to be at the NSA headquarters that weekend, so that was out.
15:52 <@Evilpig> the preston is a hit high brow...
15:52 <@Evilpig> hit/bit*
15:52 < _NSAKEY> It had the lowest up-front rate and the 2nd lowest room rate.
15:53 <@Evilpig> that's kinda surprising.  but the area they are in is shit
15:53 < _NSAKEY> And the ability to expand to take more of the space on an as-needed basis if we needed it.
16:01 <@Dagmar> the Preston also has _a bar_
16:05 < aestetix> this should be fun. I just submitted a talk to blackhat europe.
16:05 < aestetix> they require a job title and a company
16:05 <@Evilpig> Dagmar: the clarion does not too, iirc
16:05 < aestetix> I just put N/A for now
16:05 <@Evilpig> now*
16:05 <@Dagmar> Yeah I know
16:05 <@Dagmar> For the miniscule price difference between the two, it could go to either location as far as I'm concerned
16:07 <@northrup> Dagmar: was it you that was running the Plex beast?
16:07 <@Evilpig> <--
16:07 <@Dagmar> Nope
16:07 <@northrup> There we go...
16:07 <@Dagmar> I don't run Plex at all
16:07 <@Dagmar> I'm a MythTV user
16:08 <@Dagmar> I should probably rummage throught my motherboard collection and figure out which one is still serviceable and put together a dedicated Plex box, just to see how useful they are
16:08 <@northrup> Yeah - I gave up on the MythTV front... very little live TV watching
16:08 <@Dagmar> Zero live TV watching here
16:08 <@northrup> I am looking at diving headlong into Plex
16:09 <@Evilpig> dagmar will come over to plex eventually.  iirc they don't have a great linux front end though.
16:09 <@northrup> They've got a full Ubuntu front end that looks like the windows  / mac UI/UX...
16:09 <@Dagmar> Dude, I don't use a frontend
16:10 <@Dagmar> At the moment I'd still have the post-upgrade screen on the display of my MythTV box except for the fact that I murdered XFree immediately after to free up resources
16:10 <@northrup> but I also see they've got a Raspberry Pi Plex build too for a front-end
16:10 <@Evilpig> Dagmar: you really otta check plex out.
16:10 <@Dagmar> If you go that route, get the Pi2.  It's a quad core with more RAM
16:10 <@northrup> So what do you actually use the MythTV for?
16:10 <@Dagmar> Still cheak as f**l
16:11 <@Dagmar> *sigh*  I meant cheap as f**k
16:11 <@Dagmar> northrup: Recording what little TV I actually watch
16:11 <@Dagmar> At the moment, that's Johnathan Strange & Mister Norrell, and Mr. Robot
16:12 <@Dagmar> I get giant 1080 h.264 recordings off it, then pass them through Handbrake to clean that up, then Avidemux to cut the commercials out
16:12 <@Dagmar> I use MythTV only in the loosest sense nowadays
16:12 <@Dagmar> ...mainly because some of the MythTV devs were kinda _dicks_ to me.
16:13 <@Dagmar> THey still haven't incorporated the patch i wrote for them that actually _properly_ handled every possible byterange request for the MythWeb streaming functionality.
16:13 <@Evilpig> Dagmar: Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell is done
16:13 <@Dagmar> My shit handled that 100% correctly, all the time, which is more than I can say for Apache itself, actually.
16:13 <@Dagmar> Evilpig; no there's more episodes
16:13 <@Evilpig> correct
16:14 <@Dagmar> I actually scheduled both the upcoming recordings for that just last night

16:17 <@northrup> Ahh... the BBCA delay from BBC1 broadcast, much like Sherlock
16:18 <@Dagmar> Yeah
16:18 <@northrup> or with BBC4 and Humans and the delay to AMC reboradcast
16:18 <@Dagmar> Another reason I've somewhat cooled on MythTV is that after the flood when my netbook and helmet got stolen, and all those thumbdrives, one of them held _all_ my work on the LCARS MythTV theme

16:18 <@Dagmar> ...including my source bits and pieces.
16:19 <@Dagmar> That really pisses me off to even think about since I'd skinned the channel listings, the music player, the OSD, and the menuing system
16:19 <@Dagmar> Even in the settings menu the color schema changed to engineering, like it should
16:20 <@Dagmar> I even had various banks of purely decorative numbers that changed over time
16:20 <@Dagmar> If I ever redo it I'll be more likely to send a copy to Wil Wheaton for giggles before I'll submit it to MythTV
16:20 <@Dagmar> _Just_ refactoring the font so there was no copyright issue was 25 hours of work
16:22 <@Dagmar> when I do art, I don't fuck around
16:22 <@Evilpig> close enough to 5 for me.  time to sneak the fuck out early

16:24 <@northrup> Dagmar: That sucks that it's all lost... I like the LCARS idea though
16:24 <@Dagmar> Considering what MythTV does it seemed pretty appropriate to me at the time
16:24 <@Dagmar> I'd do it again if it didn't sting so much to think about all that lost work
16:25 <@Dagmar> Seriously, that sucks ass.
16:25 <@Dagmar> At least I learned a fuckton about NTSC color in the process
16:25 <@northrup> Never Twice the Same Color ;)
16:26 <@Dagmar> I _might_ do a fiddly Android app just to have an LCAR display on my phone, but I won't be like the other guy
16:26 <@Dagmar> Universal growled at him so he pulled his app
16:26 <@Dagmar> I'll tell them to fuck right off
16:26 <@Dagmar> They've no grounds.
16:27 <@Dagmar> They don't own the font becuase font faces aren't copyrightable (only font _files_) and the look and feel infringes on exactly zero commercial products.
16:27 <@Dagmar> Also, I'm damn sure I can do better than they'd bother
16:28 <@northrup> I've never understood their desire to squash fans that aren't looking to make a buck, just revil in the nostalgia
16:28 <@Dagmar> I mention Wil Wheaton because when he was on ST:TNG he actually did all that fancy stuff his character was playing with on the show
16:28 <@Dagmar> I think he'd appreciate a _functioning_ interface
16:28 <@Dagmar> hehe

16:30 <@Dagmar> northrup: It's a trademark issue, as far as I know
16:30 <@Dagmar> Trademarks _must_ be defended over time, unlike copyrights.
16:30 <@Dagmar> However, a warning letter is really all they have to do.
16:30 <@Dagmar> ...and they'd be doing themselves _much_ more harm than good by taking actual legal action against tribute/transformative works
16:31 <@Dagmar> Seriously, taking that _away_ from people who are serious enough about TV to be using MythTV and who are obviously Star Trek fans would be a _massive_ error in judgment.
16:32 <@Dagmar> I do not think they would actually sue.... nor could they really demonstrate damages.
16:32 <@Dagmar> northrup: The most important thing about NTSC I found was that the nvidia card I was using with composite output did _not_ actually properly adhere to the standards
16:33 <@Dagmar> It would emit NTSC-J, which has absolutely 0 lit blacks
16:33 <@Dagmar> ...so I actually had to make all the blacks only 4% lit to keep within the standards.
16:33 <@northrup> Hahaha!
16:33 <@northrup> I've found that with some other things too.. they are standards-'ish'...
16:33 <@Dagmar> Yeah I went to an _extreme_ degree for calibration of everyting
16:34 -!- K4k [~K4k@unaffiliated/k4k] has joined #se2600
16:35 <@Dagmar> The reason to never use 0% black with NTSC is that if you mux it through an RF modulator, the video bleeds over into the audio and you get an annoying hum
16:35 <@Dagmar> I've never seen a dumb RF modulator box that didn't assume you knew what you were doing
16:36 <@Dagmar> ...and now if I do it again, I'll make it widescreen by default and I will know what to adjust for the few remaining SDTV users
16:38 <@Dagmar> This is one of the ways in which my personality seriously parallels that of Elliot from Mr. Robot.
16:38 <@Dagmar> I long ago got used to the idea that if I have no time constraints involved, I *will* know *every* possible thing about something.
16:39 <@Dagmar> At least no one's been stupid enough to try and remove my NTSC and screen alignment images from their wiki
16:40 <@Dagmar> The _reason_ they were dicks?  Someone was directly advising users on bypassing certain copyright "protection" mechanisms on the Wiki and I tried to add a warning banner explaining that it might be illegal in some jurisdictions.
16:41 <@Dagmar> Literally just a pink box that handled the legal end of things.
16:41 <@Dagmar> Someone got extremely butthurt about it
16:41 <@Dagmar> My verbiage completely eliminated their liability in the matter, too.
16:41 <@Dagmar> THey don't understand how grey areas work.
16:42 <@Dagmar> Sure you can tell people how to do something that might be a fair use or jurisdictionally limited issue, but you _have_ to also mention those things
16:42 <@Dagmar> I had no problem with the measures they were taking at all.
16:44 <@Dagmar> Whether or not what a user is doing is illegal in their own area is _the user's problem_.
16:45 <@Dagmar> If there's fair use cases or jurisdictional limitations to it, you're not looking at any major trouble unless it can be claimed you're "inducing" a violation of law
16:46 <@Dagmar> Hence, disclaimer/explanation.   Particularly when the vast majority of the users wouldn't be doing anything like "crime" with the information
16:46 <@Dagmar> No LEO will waste time on you

17:43 <@Dagmar> Wow.
17:44 <@Dagmar> Someone's taking "volatile storage media" to a whole new level with that one.
17:47 <@northrup> That... I'm not even sure what to make of that?
17:48 <@Dagmar> It's essentially self-destructing media with a _very_ short canary period.
17:49 <@Dagmar> Kind of impressive

18:59 <@Evilpig> if you use it alot, yes
19:00 <@Evilpig> the syncing to portable devices is pretty handy, I like being able to see who's using my server at a glance, etc
