05:28 < aestetix> man
05:29 < aestetix> I am marveling at how I can deeply and fundamentally disagree with both of the major parties in the US
05:29 < aestetix> They are both fucking awful. Probably beyond repair
07:24 <@Dolemite> mr0ning, be0tches and h0 h0 h0ez!
07:29  * aestetix hugs Dolemite 
07:32 <@Dolemite> Just nailed it on my Root Cause Analysis this morning.   'This is a system that was installed using a vendor and the contact within ITSD didn't require that they create any documentation for ongoing Maintenance and Operations.   As we encounter issues and resolve them, we document the process, but there is more that we don't know that what we do.'   In other words, stop hiring shitty people who do shitty 
07:33 <@Dolemite> work.
07:33 <@Dolemite> s/know that/know than/
07:34 < Evilpig> it's new It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia day!

08:02 < PigBot> Many Severe Covid-19 Survivors Go on to Die Within a Year, Study Finds (at gizmodo.com) https://tinyurl.com/y4gydg7y
08:02 <@Dolemite> I wonder if that also applies to carrot skinned severe Covid-19 survivors?   One can only hope.
08:10 <@Mirage_> Vindication!
08:12 <@Mirage_> Just got off the phone w/ Harold the Spectrum Supervisor.  He said that thanks to the logs that I gave him access to (smokeping) and signal monitoring by the line tech that came out yesterday they were able to identify a failing amp for the node which was swapped out this morning.
08:23 <@Mirage_> The line techs are supposed to coordinate again today to verify/validate that resolved the issue or continue running checks upstream.
08:24 <@Mirage_> What I find really funny/weird/crazy/stupid is that apparently, according to what the line tech was saying, the data channels for their cable modems use frequencies that are highly susceptible to interference from the LTE bands.
08:25 < Evilpig> I would not have expected that
09:24 < brimstone> were they using those channels before LTE was really a thing?
09:25 < brimstone> who came first?
09:27 < aestetix> I mean Dolemite can you really call them a survivor if they died a year later?
09:37 < brimstone> i think they're a survivor if that's not what killed them
09:46 < aestetix> And if they died of complications from COVID?
09:46 < aestetix> That happened to take a year to kill them?
10:06 < Evilpig> cancer is described that way.  people often get diagnosed, the cancer goes into remission and they "survived", before it comes back and finishes the job
11:05 <@Mirage_> Almost L21...time to head to Darkshore for my Ghost Saber
11:10 <@Mirage_> Any bets on how many idols it's gonna take?  When I played vanilla classic I think it was something like 21-22 of them
11:48 < Evilpig> i'm semi-tinkering with my minecraft this morning
11:48 < Evilpig> when I put the new update on it.  the world had a chunk error and i've been trying to figure out what chunk it is so I can nuke it but nothing has worked right
11:51 <@Mirage_> whichever one has the thing you built that took the longest to do
11:51 < Evilpig> likely
11:52 < Evilpig> I ran a search on the world for chunks that had less than 30 minutes spent in them and nuked them all.  reduced the world size from 1.7G -> 200M
11:52 < Evilpig> fuckin' kids that just ran all over the place generating world for no damn good reason
11:59 <@Mirage_> Watching/listening to a new virtual datacenter buildout for a customer.  Playing this game is about the only thing keeping me awake

16:27 < Evilpig> trying to renew one of my usenet accounts and their card processor is fucked up and the support clowns are giving me a line of shit acting like it's me
16:28 < Evilpig> I get that adblockers can occasionally do some shit.  but if i've tried chrome on my phone, chrome on the desktop, firefox on the desktop, safari and edge!!! fuckin' edge....  and they all have the same outcome.  it's likely not me
16:29 < Evilpig> I also tried two different cards each get different errors, but I went further than they have at this point.  my last email to them included an export via edge saved as a .har of the transaction showing exactly what is happening 
16:29 < Evilpig> gave them my number to call me and let me know what time i should be interviewing to be one of their web devs
16:30 < Evilpig> you know, since i've done more troubleshooting than they have at this point and they have the damned logs showing the problem
19:33 <@Mirage_> Um, yeah... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmLt3Uf8_LM
19:34 < PigBot> Proposed Bill Would Stop Bots From Buying Hot Items - YouTube (at www.youtube.com) https://tinyurl.com/y5k6brg5
19:34 <@Mirage_> In theory it's good.  In reality..good fucking luck
19:52 < Evilpig> I saw that mentioned the other day and laughed.  prove a bot did that transaction and not a person
19:53 < Evilpig> all you're gonna do is make the transaction harder to complete and the bots will continue to beat out the people navigating the maze of challenges
19:54 < Evilpig> these retailers could instead just put better logic into their system and if you get more than x orders to a single address they instead send you a box of literal shit

20:06 <@Mirage_> Next episidoe of Wheel of Time is up.  They certainly skipped a bit, unless of course they just decide to do things out of order.
