00:03 <@Mirage> Kinda what I figured
00:07 <@Dagmar> WTF fool spends that much on a GPU and then balks at spending $80 on a decent PSU
00:07 <@Dagmar> I smell many fish
00:24 <@Mirage> Dagmar: yeah.  I called shenanigans at "my kid's computer"
00:25 <@Mirage> Been having much fun figuring out Smokeping to run at this customer site to do some latency monitoring because they keep bitching that the network in the new environment is causing their Oracle apps to keep crashing due to latency
00:28 <@Mirage> Apparently their app decides to crash if the latency is 1.2 ms.  They claim the normal latency betwen a VM and a physical in their old environment is at most 0.6 ms
00:29 <@Mirage> Personally I think that either physics works different in the old environment or that they're full of shit
00:32 < jb7od> ANybody in here know what it looks like in Win Event Log after a PXE shutdown? Does it show up like any old "unexpected shutdown" like hitting the button?
00:32 < jb7od> I could test, but not without notice. lol
00:36 <@Mirage> jb7od: no clue
00:40 < jb7od> Right on. I have a puzzle on my hands. Not really a puzzle, but somebody shut down a box by way of the button, I just know it. It was in a semi secured area, impact was zero, but I don't see how any machine with live power and bios set to Always On ends up in the state of Off while still on power.
00:42 < jb7od> It's was a perfect crime- I'll sound like a jackass if I make a thing out of it, so in that way only, it is a victory for my enemies whoever they may be
00:45 < jb7od> I'd have some respect for a pxe shutdown lol. It had every indication of a 5sec button push "system recovered from an unexpected shutdown" generic
02:25 < jb7od> even though he identified as a "gamer" and was a Windows supremacist, RIP br0therfrank: #42 worldwide Lion player (vf2). Every time I see that cringey BartPE xenomorph-inspired spash screen, I flashback to imaging IBMs by the stack (the. very. last. ibms. at the dawn of lenovo) with bootganged Ghost double-stolen from a developer who got it for free somehow.
02:27 < jb7od> OOOH I just had an idea. I remember thinking "gat daM!" the first time I ran an snes9x in a PE environment. It ran Street Fighter Turbo every bit as turbo as an arcade system, and better than any of the systems with a baseimage.
02:29 < jb7od> That sounds like an excellent misappropriation and off-label use for the MS kernel to me.
04:01 <@Dagmar> I hadn't noticed any way to _shutdown_ a box with PXE.  Seems kind of like a bad idea to implement such a thing.
05:00 < jb7od> I don't either, I was trying to bullshit myself of any possible thing other than somebody cold blooded turning something off on me.
05:03 < jb7od> I'd been up on this machine all night, and I didn't shut it down, nor did it shut itself down, bios is on jump-scare always on, so.....
10:09 <@Dagmar> Doesn't mean someone couldn't have logged into it and issued a shutdown, or that Windows just decided "TIME FOR PATCHING, BISHES!"

14:26 <@Dagmar> New Love, Death & Robots episodes.  First one has a household murderbor
14:26 <@Dagmar> er murderbot
14:27 <@Mirage> Yeah, watched most last night.  First one was amusing
14:28 <@Dagmar> I really like the automated phone assistant
14:29 <@Mirage> Yeah
14:48 <@Mirage> Proof that some musicians are really "interesting" people.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSN3MO0e4cY

14:49 <@Mirage> I find it interesting watching the different playstyles of all the different people with such a large crowd.  The drummers for the most part are very similar whereas the guitarists are quite diverse
14:50 <@Mirage> That many people playing together in sync is really quite impressive, though.
15:27 < jb7od> Dagmar: nah- there's no other users (I checked, trolled the logs, it was just the classic 'recovered' one-liner). I left the device someplace insecure. My guess is that I was supposed to have panicked or been unable to *, but my list here is so short it's one of the many things I've seen doing this shit that I wish I didn't.
15:44 <@Evilpig> Dagmar: the last episode of the new season of love, death and robots was well done.  I liked the traveling carnival aspect

15:53 <@Dagmar> Holy shit "All Through The House" was cool
15:53 <@Dagmar> heheh
15:56 <@Evilpig> that one was weird as hell
15:56 <@Evilpig> enjoyed it, but weird
16:01 < K`Tetch> ...boo
16:09 <@Evilpig> I gotta remember to hit up all the clowns I work with tomorrow and convince someone to swap oncall weeks with me.  I took all of June off to burn my time off pool and i'm on call the last week in june apparently

20:41 <@Dagmar> When you watch The Nevers, do not be fooled.  You're not streaming the wrong show
20:48 < jb7od> Anybody know if Arkham is an actual place or if DC lifted it from Lovecraft like how it looks?
21:36 <@Dagmar> It's a fictional place
21:37 <@Dagmar> I can pretty much guarantee everyone will love this week's The Nevers
21:56 < jb7od> I don't know why, but Steam.... I just can't. Like, some games I was down with switched over and I didn't follow, my kids have just accepted it as the new deal, but I just... what is my problem? It's a good idea- I wish they'd have done Unreal4+korean custom shaders like that, but damn hell... its not like it's soundcloud of games..
22:04 < jb7od> This same thing happened with me and minecraft- like, I ended up behind from pulling up to early. It's got to slay as big as it's gotten, but.. maybe I don't wanna run the java bot thing... :*(
22:05 < jb7od> yet I ended up taking it all the way out to cauldron by the end of it-
