06:47 <@Catonic> I, for one, would like to thank all of you for tolerating my personality for the several years.
07:00 < aestetix> Catonic: I personally think you're a useless bigot :p
07:00 < aestetix> But you amuse me so I allow you to stay

08:52 <@Dagmar> God... I bought a box of heat-shrink tubing on Amazon this week
08:52 <@Dagmar> It's a little box that says "532 pieces" on the top and it makes me feel like a rich man
08:53 <@Dagmar> I've got like a five-year supply of heat-shrinks for wire repairs here
08:53 <@Dagmar> Five bucks

17:30 <@brimstone> _NSAKEY: what did you use to setup kali for PXE booting?
17:46 < skiboy> brimstone: should be iPXE with the standard Kali ISO
17:51 <@brimstone> but they did something to remaster it
17:52 <@brimstone> what tool was that?
18:00 <@_NSAKEY> brimstone: In previous years, I used the kali build scripts. This year, I installed Kali in a VM, used dpkg -i to get refracta-snapshot (Had to apt --fix-broken), then did my changes.
18:00 <@_NSAKEY> Once done with the changes, I just ran "refracta-snapshot" in a terminal and kept hitting enter until it started to build.
18:01 <@_NSAKEY> Pro tip: unset HISTFILE inside the VM.
18:02 <@brimstone> heh
18:02 <@_NSAKEY> I was shooting for a way of being able to fully customize the images, in a way that Ben will be able to replicate. He's been committing war crimes with chroot, because he wants a one way ticket to The Hague.
18:03 <@_NSAKEY> Using the kali build scripts is actually easier, but things like changing the desktop background don't actually work, and I never cared enough to file a bug report.
18:04 <@_NSAKEY> In any case, once it's set up, using refracta-snapshot inside a running desktop VM is actually about 3x faster between ISO rebuilds. I should give it a red desktop background just for that.
18:05 <@brimstone> cool, thanks
18:06 <@_NSAKEY> Ben needed a new ISO for some special snowflake thing one of the workshop presenters needed Saturday. My price was that he had to give me a ride, because A. I didn't want to give up my premium parking spot, and B. I wanted to force him to watch the ISO build process. Once he saw it, he was sold. He's still dreading replicating his UT2004 work, but I still think all forms of Unreal belong in the trash.
18:08 <@_NSAKEY> If it can't be managed with apt-get or dpkg, my opinion is that it needs to burn.
18:27 <@Dagmar> You showed him the wonders of jigdo?
18:27 <@Dagmar> If not, you're about to make his freakin' month
18:34 <@_NSAKEY> Dagmar: No, that's essentially what the Kali build script does. To Ben, that's "hard."
18:35 <@_NSAKEY> He's got an open mind after I spent a good chunk of my little network talk roasting him and his practices, and after seeing this in action: https://sourceforge.net/projects/refracta/files/tools/
18:35 < PigBot`> Title: refracta - Browse /tools at SourceForge.net (at sourceforge.net) http://tinyurl.com/h3vmuws
18:36 <@_NSAKEY> He's always got weird requests, like making 32-bit games run, or requiring flash that works with minimal luser actions. So, at least he doesn't have to stress-eat his own poop while trying to figure that one out anymore.
18:38 <@_NSAKEY> *32-bit proprietary games
18:46 <@Dagmar> heheh
18:46 <@Dagmar> We should havbe just built him a platform for dealing with this rather than messing with Minetest
