01:03 < aestetix> wow
01:03 < aestetix> talk about the solution being worse than the problem
01:04 < aestetix> I also think CRT is a crock of shit, but putting cameras in classrooms to spy on teachers.... that's some east germany level stuff
02:43 <@jb7od> I'm pretty sure I just had a kid try and either dox me or force me into some kind of meltdown or ragequit earlier. It was the most EFish run in I've had in quite a long while.

10:21 < PigBot> None (at dumbfucks.org:8448) 
11:12 <@Dagmar> Wow.
11:13 <@Dagmar> I'm looking into just how one writes scripting for FB's new Horizon VR mess...
11:13 <@Dagmar> FB made the unfortunate decision of having one of the lead developers do it by teaching an intern who is apparently very into abusing mood stabilizers
11:14 <@Dagmar> ...and now i see that it's tinkertoy scripting like Scratch so I can stop watching this hammered bullshit
11:16 <@Dagmar> I could deal with just the dev alone but the girl is _incredibly_ annoying
11:17 <@Dagmar> It's like he's trying to teach a hyperactive puppy that got into a box of sugar-coated Xanax and has unfortunately learned to speak
12:30 < xtort-> ouch
12:32 < xtort-> do people still use the term "squeaker" anymore?
14:30 <@Dagmar> I dunno, but it was a lot like watching someone corral a hyperactive child in the office
14:30 <@Dagmar> I wanted to just _see_ what the scripting in Horizons entailed
14:31 <@Dagmar> Because of this girls propensity to be astonished by everything and her inability to stay on task, it took TWENTY MINUTES to get to that point
14:31 <@Dagmar> I can boot up my headset, launch the program, and be looking at that set of controls in under five minutes
14:32 <@Dagmar> Clearly some silly bastards are under the impression we still need to be "pitched" the thing
14:32 <@Dagmar> I wouldn't be lookin' at fucking YouToube videos if I needed it pitched.  There's no goddamn documentation
14:32 <@Dagmar> Like, none.
14:57 <@eryc> vrchat has a scripting language
14:58 <@eryc> maybe check it out
15:26 <@Dagmar> I have one word in response to that:
15:26 <@Dagmar> "Furries"
15:26 <@Dagmar> Besides which, at this point it's just a matter of me reading the specs and/or documentation *once*
15:27 <@Dagmar> If they expect the Everyman to stand a flaming chance in hell, I will learn it as quickly as I can read it
15:27 <@Dagmar> Except when there's no fucking written documentation because people can't be bothered
15:28 <@Dagmar> Also, 99% of what's in VRCHat is an eyesore
15:28 <@Dagmar> At least Horizons is still mostly empty so people haven't had time to race for the bottom on quality
21:36 <@jb7od> I've got unreleased prtscrs of upcoming periodic-table themed motds for libera servers. I threw it out in chan and they were actually like "that's a good idea" and went with it
21:36 <@jb7od> (also including an informational paragraph about the element like we got with the author ones
21:36 <@jb7od> )
21:41 <@Dagmar> Heh.  Cool.
21:41 <@Dagmar> Man... my mmo.
21:41 <@Dagmar> er mom.
21:41 <@Dagmar> I went over there this evening and apparently she was trying to get Discovery+ through Dish, and Dish told her to call AT&T.
21:42 <@Dagmar> SHe called AT&T and somehow came away with the impression that she can now 'download' Discovery+ to watch it, and the Galaxy A125 they sent her is only $1/month.
21:42 <@Dagmar> Yeah, I'll be over there next weekend calling AT&T and unravleing that because I really, really don't think they ahve a $1/month plan
21:43 <@Dagmar> I am also pretty sure no judge will ever side in their favor on that one.  Someone took advantage of the fact that my mom is very old.
21:43 <@jb7od> ooof... I'm sorry man. Yeah, that's probably not what that is.
21:44 <@jb7od> My dad passed last year, but he cancelled his email not knowing what it was more than once (and also enjoyed complete recovery) 
21:45 <@jb7od> I'll back up the motd thing, using the server tho, so that'll be a bit
21:46 <@jb7od> (might I throw a fu to XO ns right quick- can you please update since 2013)
22:09 <@Mirage_> amazon broken for anyone else? showing the list of stuff, but throws an error when you click on the item to view just it
22:12 <@Dagmar> LOL I was just discussing that with some people
22:12 <@Dagmar> Someone at Amazon is getting their ass chewed right now
22:13 <@Dagmar> I'll just order my cheap stuff in the morning
22:13 <@Dagmar> The good news is that with apparentrly no orders going through tonight it shoudln't be a problem to get same-day shipping.  ;)
23:07 <@Dagmar> Amazon seems to have returned to orderly operation
23:15 <@Mirage_> Yeah, well they already missed the window for me. Dug through old cables/connectors and found what I could use to make what I needed vs buying something made for the purpose.
23:16 <@Dagmar> My mom's TV & Roku have decided they'll no longer put up with the Actiontec router way on the otehr end of the house, so I'm replacing the cables to the router so we can put it on TOP of the cabinet it's currently under, and I'm moving her Roku from the port in the TV to out on teh wall, and replacing that fucking rats nest of 2-prong power cables she has
23:17 <@Dagmar> ...because all of this beats the FUCK out of the other option.
23:17 <@Dagmar> ...getting under the house to run a cat6 drop to plug the TV into directly because apparently it has a goddamn AP built into it
23:17 <@Dagmar> ...because fuckabunchaspiders.
23:17 <@Dagmar> **shudder*
23:18 <@Dagmar> She was wanting me to order this stuff on her account and I'm like, "No."
23:31 <@Mirage_> even running JBOD, LSI controllers take entirely too long to initialize IMO
23:35 <@Mirage_> OK, finally got my 92->120mm fan adaptors installed in the NAS.  Maybe it'll hve better flow w/ less noise for the drive cages now.
23:39 <@Mirage_> Yeah, so the 92mm was rated at 35 CFM and the 120mm is 51 CFM. Should make a difference.   
23:46 <@jb7od> That's the one thing I envy formerly 2rd world countries for- fiber infrastructure. If I was in south .KR, I'd brag too. 
23:46 <@jb7od> No copper, no 2-wire, no rj-11.. 
23:48 <@Mirage_> ATT really needs to get some fibre run here.  When you hit the "check availabilty" option for fiber this is what I get as the BEST/fastest option:  Speeds up to
23:48 <@Mirage_> 25MbpsSpeeds up to
23:49 <@Mirage_> "
23:49 <@Mirage_> AT&T Fiber isn’t available at your address. Good news, though! You still can get reliable, fast AT&T internet. Check out your available speed below."
23:50 <@Mirage_> This is what my neighbor has.  His "high-speed" internet wound up being DISH because the old wires here don't even support basic Uverse
