08:14 < aestetix_> same reason I don't understand why someone would buy those warhammer statue things
08:18 <@RangerZ> aestetix_: easy, you didn't grow up building models either
08:18 < aestetix_> I enjoy that as a hobby the same way I like playing puzzles
08:18 <@RangerZ> its as much about the art of building them, and customizing them, etc. as it is about playing with them (where you can show off your craftsmanship) while also playing with others who do the same
08:19 < aestetix_> Is that what cosplay is about too?
08:19 <@RangerZ> pretty much
08:20 <@RangerZ> I don't have any warhammer, but I saw it growing up and have an appreciation for it, etc. (did build models/etc)

08:22 < aestetix_> I assume you made that other bit up
08:22 < aestetix_> I saw femfreq on the list, but not hiring
08:23 <@RangerZ> nah, just copying a video title, I really don't care, I think Twitter should be self-censoring
08:23 <@RangerZ> anything to help cut down on 'social'-media
08:24 <@RangerZ> I -am- curious to see what the 10k word limit is going to do to the platform
08:24 < aestetix_> twitter is doing everything except what will fix their problems
08:25 <@RangerZ> actually I think they probably are paying each of these council members
08:25 <@RangerZ> but who knows
08:25 < aestetix_> right, they are likely paying them to be a liability shield
08:25 <@Evilpig> 10k word limit?  wha?
08:26 <@RangerZ> yeah, they are moving to a 10k word limit -per tweet-
08:26 <@RangerZ> because people are making 'pictures' of paragraphs and uploading them
08:26 <@RangerZ> to get past 'word limit'
08:27 <@Evilpig> but that defeats the point of twitter because the messages won't fit in a text message
08:27 <@RangerZ> and?
08:28 < aestetix_> Evilpig: no, the point of twitter is to make money for its shareholders
08:28 <@Evilpig> push all social media into a big pit and set it on fire.  how about that?
08:28 < aestetix_> Evilpig: we tried to get you to do that, you refused
08:28 <@Evilpig> I couldn't burn that building down if I tried
08:29 <@Evilpig> trust me, it had redundant systems for that
08:29 <@RangerZ> C4 is a great tool
08:29 <@RangerZ> shaped charges, etc.
08:31 <@Dagmar> Jesus.  You'd think that /r/Comcast would have fewer fucking fanboys with the stuff that's explicitly stated as appropriate to the sub
08:31 <@RangerZ> Dagmar: yeah I saw your post
08:31 <@RangerZ> was 'amusing' in that sad way they didn't like what you had to say
08:31 <@Dagmar> I really don't care how many downvotes the little dimwits give me
08:32 <@Dagmar> Fuckin' do your research and demand your equipment perform to spec or get out of the fuckin' industry already
08:34 < aestetix_> Evilpig: did they have backups of individual tumblr accounts?
08:34 < aestetix_> Like maybe get the top ten most profitable accounts and delete them
08:35 < aestetix_> Or delete enough little random ones that would make a few cents here and there to chip away at tumblr's profit

09:02 <@Dagmar> Maybe Twitter realizes that by allowing longer texts, they'll be removing the advantage the trolls have when they're making bullshit arguments that involve a much longer rebuttal than one can accomplish in just 140 characters.
09:02 <@Dagmar> I have no problems at all with Twitter making their system less troll-friendly.

10:30 <@rattle> Holy fucking crap.  The NYC parking violations people are SCARY.
10:30 <@rattle> I just got a letter at my OFFICE about two parking tickets I haven't paid yet, and aren't even past due.
10:30 <@rattle> How the fuck do they know where I work?!
10:30 <@Dolemite> Stingrays
10:30 <@Evilpig> rattle: you're on a list
10:30 <@Dolemite> Meter maids are now utilizing stingray devices to track down evildoers!
10:31 <@rattle> I mean, seriously..  How the fuck do they know where I work?  This isn't the NSA, it's the fucking parking ticket people!
10:31 < aestetix_> rattle: check the letter for anthrax
10:32 <@rattle> I'm fairly sure they are not going to kill me.  They clearly want me to pay.

10:50 <@Dagmar> ...but you might call them and ask them about it.  The answers might be very interesting.
10:51 < _NSAKEY> ... Or chances are, they will either be too low-level to know or pretend ignorance.
10:52 < _NSAKEY> They probably just googled you.
10:53 <@Dolemite> Could be from state tax filings...  and if you don't pay, they put a lein against your refund
10:54 < _NSAKEY> It makes me wonder how much extra they spend to track down where people work, vs how much they bring in as a direct result of that.
10:54 < aestetix_> Dolemite: that reminds me of the time I got a notice from the IRS that they were taking $2k out of my paycheck
10:55 < aestetix_> Keep in mind, this paycheck was not much larger than $2k, and it was a rent check.

12:29 <@Dagmar> Telling me I should buy another cablemodem
12:29 <@Dagmar> Holy fuck no
12:31 <@Dagmar> I dont' have any guarantees that even that will fix the problem
12:46 <@Dagmar> I think I should just verbally eviscerate the next person who talks about using more channels than necessary is helping avoid congestion
12:46 <@Dagmar> They have their fucking cause and effect backwards from what I can tell
12:46 <@Dagmar> I see nothing that says an 8x4 modem accesses a different set of frequencies than a 16x4 modem
12:47 <@Dagmar> The only excuse I can think of is that by requiring the modem be on 16 channels instead of 8 is that it has more potential channels that it could use
12:47 <@Dagmar> I couldn't give two shits about occasionally rebooting the cablemodem so that it will move to some less clusterfucked channels
12:49 < _NSAKEY> Dagmar: I'm going to reset the pass for the reddit account I made just to upvote, because fuck Comcast.

12:57 <@Dagmar> The whole way the Raspian distribution installs is weird
12:58 <@Dagmar> I'm not saying it's wrong, but it's definitely not "normal"
12:58 < _NSAKEY> At least the end result is a close approximation to vanilla Debian.
12:58 <@Dagmar> Yeah the installed system is pretty much as Debian as Debian gets
13:03 < _NSAKEY> Dagmar: I like how the guy you're arguing with in that thread named himself "unixwizzard."
13:04 < _NSAKEY> I'm up/downvoting accordingly.
13:07 < _NSAKEY> Dagmar: Don't you have a recording with your unicorn which states that your modem actually IS supposed to work?
13:08 < _NSAKEY> You should try uploading THAT, and tell these losers to STFU.
13:08 <@Dagmar> Well, it _should_ work, but the way Comcast is implemnting things is stupid
13:09 <@Dagmar> They actually _are_ requiring cablemodems to bond to twice as many channels as would otherwise be needed
13:10 <@Dagmar> This gives the cablemodem more redundancy to work with with respect to overloaded channels
13:10 <@Dagmar> However, the nitwit brigade keeps phrasing it incorrectly as if they could use more frequencies
13:11 <@Dagmar> It doesn't keep the network from becoming congested, it keeps individual cablemodems from as easily being susceptible to the congestion
13:11 <@Dagmar> I'm sure that once Comcast is feeling the pain of actual competition, they'll change their tune just to get people to buy into a higher speed tier
13:12 <@Dagmar> This is sort of an implicit admission that they intend to oversubscribe the network
13:12 <@Dagmar> Meanwhile, customers have to purchase a modem capable of twice the speeds Comcast is willing to let them run at
13:13 <@Dagmar> None of this absolves them of the stupidity of their provisioning system
13:15 <@klixa> speaking of provisioning... i had sprint unlock my iPhone just  in case i ever wanted to use it on another network... and as a surprise f*** you it won't work on sprint networks anymore
13:15 <@Dagmar> Sounds like a good reason to call and abuse a support rep
13:18 <@klixa> well, its on tmobile now...id rather it work on all other networks and not sprint, than sprint and no other network

17:42 <@Evilpig> I didn't add that plugin
17:43 <@Mirage> no shit
17:43 <@Mirage> =P
17:57 <@Mirage> Evilpig: I forgot how horrible "The Ice Pirates" was.
17:57 <@Evilpig> it was good for a few laughs
17:57 < dfused> like Krull
17:57 <@Evilpig> i was just wondering what kinda smoke they pumped into that dome over here and if they thought that it might actually suffocate her
17:57 <@Evilpig> her*
17:58 < dfused> ooo...or Time Bandits
17:58 <@Evilpig> I'm pretty sure I have time bandits too
17:58 < dfused> re-re-re-re-re-return that MAP
17:59 < dfused> return what you have STOLEN...
17:59 < dfused> hehehe
17:59 <@Mirage> dfused: stop that, you'll confuse the kids
17:59 < dfused> lol
18:00 <@Mirage> I still get a chuckle when I think about the moron kids who saw me watching The Dark Crystal at PN6 who made a comment about how "that was best CGI they had ever seen"
18:00 <@Evilpig> heh
18:01 <@Evilpig> I added a nice 1080 version of that the other day too
18:01 < dfused> oh wow

19:05 < aestetix_> I am sick of hearing crap about "white men on the internet" from people who clearly do not know the history of the internet.
19:05 < aestetix_> I just saw someone rant about "what if computers had been invented by queer people"

19:25 <@RangerZ> not like there haven't been key women in the field since it was founded, but its not CS's fault that (the rest of the world was fucking stuck in the 1950s) ...except the parts that were before that... like von nuemann(sp)
19:37 <@Dagmar_> So... I _suspect_ my filing a complaint with the FCC is what resulted in a call (that went to voicemail) from someone at Comcast about an hour ago
19:37 -!- Dagmar_ is now known as Dagmar
19:41 < aestetix_> yeah this whole computing being dominated by "white men" is a new thing....
19:42 < aestetix_> Before computer jobs could make you rich, it was still a field for mostly geeks
19:42 <@Dagmar> I get kind of nasty about the implication that the reason there's few women and minorities in this field is because of the actions of people _in this field_
19:42 < aestetix_> So it's not that anyone was exluded, it's more that noboy wanted to bother with it
19:42 <@Dagmar> It's just a deranged take on things.
19:43 <@Dagmar> If they want to bitch at someone to make it all better, they need to bitch at mainstream society for making us into basically, pariahs
19:44 < aestetix_> btw, almost all the criticisms like this I hear come from people who are nontechnical
19:44 <@Dagmar> That's because the people inside the tech industry actually know better
19:44 <@Dagmar> ...except for the latecomers.
19:45 < aestetix_> Reminds me of a guy who I knew on IRC for several years, and didn't know he was black until I met him in person.
19:45 <@Dagmar> Been there, done that
19:46 < dfused> ?? was he supposed to go yo yo yo all the time?
19:46 < aestetix_> in fact, the first time I realized it was when I was in the same town as him, and called a number he gave me
19:46 <@Dagmar> I always thought that one of the _nice_ things about the internet was that there was only as much "race" or "gender" as you let there be.  Everyone is more or less a universal shade of monochrome green, and that's all we needed to care about
19:46 < dfused> aestetix_ : racist. =P
19:47 <@Dagmar> I didnt' much care for at _all_ the movement some people had of trying to create a "black internet"
19:47 <@Dagmar> We didn't have any concern about ethnicity or skin color until then
19:47 < dfused> isnt that the dark net?
19:47 < dfused> oh snap!
19:47 <@Dagmar> No this was literally a bunch of hypersensitive rappers
19:48 < aestetix_> likewise, I actually knew a guy on IRC who I thought was black, but he turned out to be white
19:49 < aestetix_> well it's more that he told everyone he was black
20:15 -!- Netsplit *.net <-> *.split quits: @Catonic
20:31 <@Dagmar> Yep.  Just hung up on Comcast.  Same shit, different agent
20:32 <@Dagmar> They don't seem to understand the concept of best-effort or anything like it.
20:40 < aestetix_> Dagmar: please tell me you're recording these calls.
20:40 <@Dagmar> I recorded that one
20:40 <@Dagmar> I've recorded almost all of them after the first two actually
20:40 <@Dagmar> If I roll out now I can maybe get a 6183 from Best Buy and then MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON THEIR SOULS if they give me any shit about it

22:00 <@Dagmar> Okay, at the next 2600 meeting I'm going to teach everyone how to do the thing I just did which really worked wonders with Comcast
22:00 <@Dagmar> It was also very personally satisfying.
22:02 <@Dagmar> "Uncanny Valley" is a thing which applies to voices as well as faces.
22:02 <@Dagmar> Basically, I used the same "serial killer" voice that I did way back on the afternoon I terrified a telemarketer into thinking I'd just brutally murdered Dru, resulting in her panicking and calling the police to report a murder.
22:03 <@Dagmar> It's possible the first agent I spoke with read the account history, but he fucked up twice
22:03 <@Dagmar> ...and then he panicked and hung up.
22:03 <@Dagmar> I shit you not.
22:04 < aestetix_> ala Hannibal Lector?
22:04 <@Dagmar> Something like that, yes.
22:04 <@Dagmar> ...but Hannibal on some heavy mood stabilizers.
22:05 <@Dagmar> Literally the first thing I said to the first guy was "I am calling to activate a new cablemodem"
22:05 <@Dagmar> A few moments later, without asking me any other questions, he says he's going to go ahead and activate the one they had on file.
22:05 <@Dagmar> I politely inquired as to what model cablemodem that was.
22:05 <@Dagmar> He told me it was the SB6141.
22:06 <@Dagmar> "Just one question... if you already have the cablemodem on file, it can't very well be the new one now, can it?"
22:06 <@Dagmar> I don't think he liked my use of simple sentences with small, easily understandable words.
22:06 <@Dagmar> He got a little tense.
22:07 <@Dagmar> Now he asks for the MAC of the new cablemodem, and I give it to him.
22:07 <@Dagmar> Mind you, I *know* he also needs the serial number of the modem and the model number.
22:07 <@Dagmar> ...and then he starts to register the modem, telling me it's only going to take a few minutes.
22:08 <@Dagmar> I look over at the cablemodem.  It's doing exactly nothing.
22:08 <@Dagmar> Sure enough, this guy was once again, trying to reprovision the old modem
22:08 <@Dagmar> He starts to say something else about how this will only take a minute and then I figure he realized his mistake.  He panics, and hangs up.
22:08 <@Dagmar> Mid-sentence.  :)
22:09 <@Dagmar> The second guy was apparently Dominican if I guessed the accent right.
22:09 <@Dagmar> He sounded progressively more unsettled throughout the entire call.  Heheh
22:10 <@Dagmar> He started out trying to tell me he can only handle internet activations, not cablemodems.
22:10 <@Dagmar> ...that televisions were a whole 'nother department.
22:10 <@Dagmar> o.O
22:11 <@Dagmar> Where do they *find* these people
22:11 <@Dagmar> At least the goddamn thing is doing >250mbps now
