--- Log opened Fri Jan 11 00:00:30 2019 00:02 < aestetix> well the boot flag was not set on the old disk in fdisk 00:02 < aestetix> so I assumed it was set somewhere by the raid 00:03 < aestetix> and set, the boot partition was in the raid set 00:03 < aestetix> how do you check to verify that the boot partition is set up properly? 00:04 < Evilpig_> if you copied the parrition setup it shoudl be set right, just make sure that partition is set active. been a long time since I've had a raided boot volume 00:04 < Evilpig_> actually. maybe my plex server is raided. let me check 00:04 < aestetix> well I cancelled the upgrade and had the original disk put back in 00:04 < aestetix> so I can take a look in a bit 00:05 < Evilpig_> /dev/md0 477M 198M 254M 44% /boot 00:05 < aestetix> maybe I'm wrong 00:06 < aestetix> I just checked it, and it looks like it did work 00:06 < Evilpig_> Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System 00:06 < Evilpig_> /dev/sdb1 * 1 64 512000 fd Linux raid autodetect 00:06 < Evilpig_> Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary. 00:06 < Evilpig_> /dev/sdb2 64 243202 1953001472 fd Linux raid autodetect 00:07 < Evilpig_> Personalities : [raid1] 00:07 < Evilpig_> md0 : active raid1 sdb1[1] sda1[0] 511936 blocks super 1.0 [2/2] [UU] 00:07 < Evilpig_> so the partition on my disk is marked for boot and that partition is set to raid1 00:13 < aestetix> yeah, I just checked and apparently the upgrade did work. I thought it didn't because after ten minutes the system hadn't come back up and I'd asked them to revert to the old system 00:13 < aestetix> so apparently they ignored my email 00:13 < aestetix> which is good 00:14 < aestetix> germans are good at ignoring things they don't care about 00:56 -!- crashcartpro [uid29931@gateway/web/irccloud.com/x-kjapxzmzdvplkywm] has quit [Quit: Connection closed for inactivity] 07:31 <@Dolemite> mr0ning, be0tches and h0ez! 07:32 * aestetix hugs Dolemite 08:08 <@Shadow404> first 30 secs for classic science humor with one of my fav scientists: https://youtu.be/x8grN3zP8cg 08:08 <@Shadow404> er, 1st min 08:08 < PigBot> The Origins of Mass (at youtu.be) http://tinyurl.com/yd857uhh 08:16 < aestetix> the democrats are really gearing up to have a clown circus that may put the GOP candidates circus from 2016 to shame 08:16 < aestetix> almost all of them are worthless 08:16 < aestetix> is it really that hard to get someone better than Trump? 08:17 <@Dolemite> Nobody worthy of the job wants the job 08:17 < aestetix> Dolemite: that's the most charitable explanation 08:17 <@Dolemite> Have you started reading politico.com? 08:17 < aestetix> yeah, although that comment was inspired by stuff from thehill.com 08:18 <@Dolemite> Well I was wondering if you'd gauged it in terms of bias, yet 08:18 < aestetix> I don't know yet. allsides rates it as leaning-left 08:19 < aestetix> (and it rates thehill as centrist) 08:19 <@Dolemite> Well I stated that since I felt it was fair, it was likely somewhat leaning left 08:19 <@Dolemite> thehill is definitely not centrist 08:19 <@Dolemite> Although it's an Einstein problem. Everything is relative. 08:19 < aestetix> https://www.allsides.com/news-source/hill-media-bias 08:19 < PigBot> The Hill Media Bias | AllSides (at www.allsides.com) http://tinyurl.com/ycu38nrq 08:20 <@Dolemite> The Hill received an average bias rating of 40.9, barely inside the boundary between a center and a lean right bias. 08:20 <@Dolemite> So there you go 08:21 <@Dolemite> If it's centrist, it's BARELY that way 08:21 < aestetix> well if politico is center-left and thehill is center-right 08:21 < aestetix> maybe that's a good balance 08:21 <@Dolemite> Yes, I tend to read both 08:22 < aestetix> Whereas sites like vox and vice.... are basically left wing breitbarts, IMHO 08:22 < aestetix> I get halfway through a vox article and start wondering if the author has an axe to grind 08:22 <@Dolemite> LOL they need about 3 more "L" boxes left of "C" for Salon 08:23 < aestetix> also, in the last few years many sites have changed 08:23 < aestetix> I had to stop reading BoingBoing for example 08:23 < aestetix> it changed from being a "directory of wonderful things" to nonstop leftist attacks on trump 08:24 <@Dolemite> I still read BoingBoing, but I'm selective of which articles I click into 08:24 < aestetix> It made me wonder if they still cover cool projects at all 08:24 <@Dolemite> They do, as they cycle editors in and out on about an annual basis 08:25 <@Dolemite> So in the past year I saw less political, but more granola lifestyle 08:25 < aestetix> maybe it's eased off in the last year or so 08:25 < aestetix> 2015 and 2016, I had to stop reading a bunch of sites I used to follow 08:26 < Evilpig_> reading dilbert shouldn't be considered a site 08:27 <@Dolemite> Gizmodo I read mostly for the pop culture and technology updates. 08:33 < aestetix> oh btw 08:33 < aestetix> bragging rights: I have an article in the new 2600 issue 08:33 < aestetix> so 1. you should all get it 2. you should all write articles :) 08:50 <@Shadow404> whats the topic? 08:53 <@Shadow404> and congrats, does this make you elite? 08:55 < aestetix> buy the issue and find out :) 08:57 <@Shadow404> and there in lies the issue with printed magazines. Unless I have a subscription, stores that sell less popular magazines are becoming harder to find 08:57 <@Shadow404> most barnes and nobles and the like are closed around my area and the nearest computer mega store that might carry it is well out of my way 08:58 <@Shadow404> but my latter question still remains, does this give you elite status having your article and name mentioned in 2600? 09:21 < aestetix> lol no idea 09:21 < aestetix> probably no 09:31 < Evilpig_> https://geekologie.com/ 09:31 < PigBot> Geekologie - Gadgets, Gizmos, and Awesome (at geekologie.com) http://tinyurl.com/yaqx4e74 09:49 <@Dolemite> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sZuN0xXWLc 09:49 < PigBot> Big Bill Hell's (at www.youtube.com) http://tinyurl.com/87r6s3h 09:52 <@Dolemite> I have to admit, I'm going to watch the Netflix Documentary on the Fyre Festival when it comes out next weekend. 09:53 <@Dolemite> It's like watching a car wreck in slow motion 09:54 < aestetix> oh man 09:54 < aestetix> Fyre Festival was basically Dashcon on steroids 09:55 < aestetix> Although Dashcon was uniquely stupid. Like the point when the organizers said they'd all be kicked out if they didn't get X amount of money, so then they passed around a bucket for cash, and the attendees all did the Hunger Games hand salute 09:56 < Evilpig_> dashcon was the tumblr one right? 09:57 < aestetix> yes 09:57 < Evilpig_> I remember that one being comical 09:57 < aestetix> you 09:57 < aestetix> oops 09:58 < aestetix> https://youtu.be/RCSgrHogq6I?t=192 09:58 < aestetix> there you go 09:58 < PigBot> DashCon Dash for money part 1 (at youtu.be) http://tinyurl.com/yc4j8ego 10:00 <@Dolemite> wow, that's a lot of pachoulli in one room 10:04 <@Dolemite> So what was the reasoning why they needed an extra 20 grand? 10:04 <@Dolemite> Did they overestimate the number of registrations, or were they simply that incompetent at reading a contract? 10:04 < aestetix> It had something to do with them not reading the contract with the hotel properly, and the hotel demanding 20 grand for something or else they would get kicked out 10:06 < aestetix> https://encyclopediadramatica.rs/Dashcon 10:06 < PigBot> Dashcon - Encyclopedia Dramatica (at encyclopediadramatica.rs) http://tinyurl.com/ya7he8fq 10:06 <@Dolemite> yeah, already reading that page 10:07 <@Dolemite> Ok, so combination of both 10:07 <@Dolemite> They didn't realize they had to prepay for facilities, and they had way overestimated the number of tickets that would be sold 10:08 <@Dolemite> 1,000 is much less than 6-7,000 10:08 < aestetix> I also remember reading the leaked emails and chat logs of organizers 10:08 < aestetix> They had internal drama fights about who would get to invite X celebrity to come speak 10:10 < aestetix> So I guess Fyre Festival is what you get when you take Dashcon, add in trust fund money and instagram celebrities 10:40 <@Shadow404> aestetix: are you gonna share your article topic or not? 11:01 < aestetix> Shadow404: it's an article about the current state of Big Tech 11:04 < aestetix> god damnit 11:04 < aestetix> youtube is recommending me dashcon videos now 11:04 <@Dolemite> ROFLMAO 11:05 < aestetix> speaking of lol 11:05 < aestetix> https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/424921-ocasio-cortez-quotes-rorschach-from-watchmen-in-response-to-dem 11:05 < PigBot> Ocasio-Cortez quotes Rorschach from 'Watchmen' in response to Dem criticism | TheHill (at thehill.com) http://tinyurl.com/y7z56v4q 11:05 < aestetix> something something karma always finds a way 11:08 < xray> I just watched Watchmen again a few days ago, so this is particularly funny. 11:08 < aestetix> I never saw it. 11:08 < aestetix> I've read the "book" though 11:09 < xray> It's on Netflix 11:09 <@Dolemite> And HBO is making a series of it 11:10 < aestetix> Dolemite: so there will be one decent season and then four more seasons which gradually get worse and worse? 11:10 <@Dolemite> It doesn't have the word 'True' in it 11:24 <@dasunt> I kind of see AOC being the face of the "Young Turks" of the Democratic party. 11:25 <@dasunt> You have the older boomer once-liberals (probably now pretty centralists) of the Democratic party. 11:25 <@dasunt> They are in control. 11:25 <@dasunt> Then you have the younger, far more liberal* crowd that's getting in. (*Liberal by the standards of time marches on - society tends towards the left in many ways.) 11:26 <@dasunt> There's a bit of conflict between the two. 11:26 <@Dolemite> I lump AOC and Bernie together 11:27 <@dasunt> Bernie is not typical of the older Democrats in congress. 11:27 <@dasunt> IMO. 11:27 <@Dolemite> They are both unrealistic in their aims, but they know that selling that utopian future is what drums up the support 11:28 <@dasunt> I'm not sure if it's unrealistic or not. 11:28 <@Dolemite> I used to think it would be an unmitigated disaster if Bernie had been elected as President 11:28 <@Dolemite> After the past 2 years, I now see that it could be much worse 11:28 <@dasunt> I'm not a Millenial, but I do notice they tend towards the left of most of my generation. 11:29 <@Dolemite> Yes, in general, society does change. Conservatives try to keep things the same, while Liberals try to make things better for those coming after them. 11:30 < aestetix> dasunt: and as they get older, they will become more conservative 11:30 <@Dolemite> Most of the time 11:30 <@Dolemite> I find myself in the reverse. I was more conservative in my 20s. 11:30 <@dasunt> I've shifted to radical centralism. 11:31 <@Dolemite> o.O 11:31 <@Dolemite> Explain how that works. lol 11:31 < aestetix> Dolemite: well, a health dose of: "Let's create John Lennon's Imagine in the world!"
