05:19 <@Dolemite> mr0ning, be0tches an dh0ez!
09:01  * aestetix hugs Dolemite 
10:55 <@Mirage> quiet in here.   some holiday i don't know about?

10:57 <@Mirage> I see all these things calling out orientation/race/identity/sex/etc and think, "Yeah..a PERSON, big fucking deal.  Labels are not needed."
10:58 <@Mirage> I forget that too many people look at the same thing and think, "kill the queer", etc
10:59 <@eryc> is he/she a quantum person
10:59 <@eryc> if you examine his/her genitalia does it change state

12:33 < jb7od> This guy with an Indian accent in this Progress database vid hits a part where he says GUI a few times, except phonetically, like "gooey". OWA gets the same treatment (oh-ah)
12:34 < jb7od> in both cases I had to pause and back up.. "now, do what?"
12:36 < xray> I want my preferred pronoun to be ALL the digits of PI. If they insist on using preferred pronouns then they will have to recite all the digits of PI first. This means I will not be talking to anyone that insist on preferred pronouns.
12:40 <@Evilpig> don't think i've ever heard someone say oh-wa.  that would throw me for sure
12:40 <@Dolemite> sadly, I have
12:40 <@Dolemite> oh-wha
12:40 < jb7od> HHAHA-- okay.. do ECP..
12:47 < jb7od> I worked with this one guy, like 00, and he insisted on not only saying the entire thing, but "CD-ROM" was "see-dee-roam". After a year or something, I tried to be like "you ever hear it said 'ROM', like 'bomb'?" but he insisted all the rest of us were wrong- but I do have to admit I hate the truth of gif and feel weird saying it
12:55 <@eryc> how do you say GUI jb7od ?
12:56 <@Evilpig> I know how gif is supposed to be pronounced, but the world has won on that.  it's a hard g.  I'm not bowing down to the reality
12:57 <@eryc> yea fuck that guy
12:57 <@eryc> i mean "juy"
12:57 < jb7od> gee-you-eye whenever I do. It doesn't come up a lot
12:57 <@eryc> acronyms have rules
12:57 <@eryc> ah i always say gooey but not quite the word gooey
12:58 <@eryc> a less gooey GUI
12:58 <@Evilpig> avoid that trap and say user interface
13:00 < jb7od> I guess I use box or window in the support context
13:01 < jb7od> I'm the one of less than a handful of souls who'd know what the alternative to a GUI even was, in relative context.
13:05 <@opticron> gwee

15:17 <@Mirage> Hrm, DBAN wasn't agreeing with booting up on this Comcast laptop.  Trying out ShredOS and it seems to be doing the job so far.   Anyone else tried it? https://github.com/PartialVolume/shredos.x86_64
15:17 < PigBot> GitHub - PartialVolume/shredos.x86_64: Shredos 64 bit for all Intel 64 bit processors as well as processors from AMD and other vendors which make compatible 64 bit chips. ShredOS - Secure disk erasure (at github.com) https://tinyurl.com/y9opb6kd
15:18 <@Evilpig> first i've heard of it but I like new tools
15:18 <@brimstone> comcast... laptop?
15:19 <@Mirage> Yeah...they've been a customer of ours for the past couple years.  Contract is expiring and doesn't look to get renewed, so the laptop they issued to us for working the account has to go back.
15:20 <@Mirage> Me being me, I'm not sending it back until I've wiped it.
15:24 <@brimstone> ah, that kind of comcast laptop
15:25 <@brimstone> i haven't used shredos, but hdparm can trigger the SATA erase feature which is just as good as DBAN and orders of magnitude faster
15:26 <@Mirage> From the site:  The latest ShredOS now includes the following
15:26 <@Mirage>     smartmontools
15:26 <@Mirage>     hexedit
15:26 <@Mirage>     hdparm
15:28 <@Mirage> Never had a need yet, but supposedly DBAN won't work on SSD's, but this will.
15:56 <@eryc> whats DBAN?
15:58 <@Evilpig> derek's boot and nuke

16:24 <@eryc> oh that
16:24 <@eryc> yea SSDs are tough to really erase
16:25 <@eryc> if thats important you should get the ones with builtin encryption
16:25 <@eryc> or even better use software based encryption
16:26 <@eryc> or just light them on fire
