--- Log opened Fri May 13 00:00:12 2022 06:49 <@Dolemite> Ugh. Ding dong dipshit dropped the Isilons out from under running MySQL clusters last night. He actually believed Dell when they told him the firmware update wouldn't reboot the nodes. 06:59 < Evilpig> the new kids in the hall episodes are perfect. 07:00 <@Mirage> Evilpig: ran into a guy who used to be in giant censored robots last night. forgot to ask what his toon name was back then, though. 07:00 < Evilpig> they are a prolific bunch, ha 07:46 -!- PigBot [~PigBot@wilpig.org] has quit [Ping timeout: 256 seconds] 07:54 -!- PigBot [~PigBot@76.237.111.251] has joined #se2600 07:58 -!- PigBot [~PigBot@76.237.111.251] has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds] 07:58 -!- PigBot [~PigBot@76.237.111.251] has joined #se2600 08:03 -!- PigBot [~PigBot@76.237.111.251] has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds] 08:06 -!- PigBot [~PigBot@wilpig.org] has joined #se2600 08:44 <@Mirage> Wow, just learned something new. Per the customer apparently enabling 'compress' in logrotate and/or gzipping log files breaks log retention. LOL 08:47 <@Dolemite> WHAT 08:49 <@Mirage> They are under some mistaken/misguided assumption that because they have splunk that the log files can't be compressed, even though the logs are sent TO the splunk servers by the agent.. 08:50 <@Mirage> In a sane environment they would have lower retention on the host and every means necessary to save storage of logs BECAUSE the logs are sent to splunk. It's just ass-backward 08:55 <@Mirage> Oh, and they also emphatically DO NOT want /var/log to be split from /var in LVM because they want shit to break vs having the system still running but not be able to capture logs. 09:35 <@Dagmar> wtf 09:35 <@Dagmar> Is it "Bring your kids to work and let them do your job" day? 11:16 <@Mirage> Dolemite: I'm sure this is old news for you, but I just watched a video discussing addition of parking fees for Smokey Mountain Nat'l Park. $5/day, $15/7-day, $40/annual. Doesn't seem too bad. 11:18 <@Mirage> https://parkplanning.nps.gov/projectHome.cfm?projectId=105006 11:18 < PigBot> Parkplanning - Proposed Smokies Fee Program Changes for 2023 (at parkplanning.nps.gov) https://tinyurl.com/y4ndghj2 11:20 <@Mirage> The toughest thing is they are supposedly planning on banning parking on the side of the road, which in a lot of places is about the only option you have unless you get REALLY lucky. I know you normally liked to pick trails with decent parking for our death march, but not all are like that. 11:21 <@Dolemite> Mirage: Yeah, people are getting pissy about it because when the land was gifted to the NPS it was under the condition that admission would always be free... so parking is about the only thing the can charge for 11:22 <@Dolemite> Evilpig: I need you to toss some logs in the wood burning stove that powers your brain. 11:23 <@Dolemite> I am sending HTML enabled email. Trying to turn either one cell or one row semitransparent red. I've tried adding in style="background-color:rgba(255,0,0,0.5)" to both the element and the element to no avail. Any other ideas you can think of? 11:23 <@Dagmar> style="background-color:red;opacity:0.5;" 11:24 <@Dolemite> I can give that a try 11:25 <@Dagmar> ...or possibly rgba(255 0 0 / 50%) but email clients are REALLY persnickety about transparent style information because fuckers use it to hide malicious things 11:25 <@Dagmar> You might find it easier to use hsl 11:25 <@Dolemite> yay, that worked 11:26 <@Dagmar> Cool 11:26 <@Dolemite> well, the opacity part didn't but at least it's red 11:26 <@Dolemite> Well, maybe it did. I need to play around with the value and see if it changes. 11:26 <@Dagmar> I figured separating the two would at least let the red part work even if opacity gets ignored 11:26 <@Dagmar> ...and htere's always hsl if you want to presume the background will be white 11:27 <@Dolemite> worst case I can change the text color 11:27 <@Mirage> Don't forget sparkles and blink text 11:27 <@Mirage> Gotta do it up right! 11:27 <@Dolemite> Yeah, outlook and/or the filters are yanking out the opacity 11:28 <@Dolemite> Mirage: I should. It's for the weekly certificate report. If someone registered a cert that is up for expiration but they are no longer here, I'm turning it red for them. 11:29 <@Dagmar> I was a little miffed becuase I was punting around in our Exchange service trying to make the tags being used for external emails and possible phishing more visible, and banged in a super-fancy bit of CSS just to have it all ignored utterly 11:29 <@Dagmar> Email clients aren't exactly trusting of the entire range of CSS 11:30 <@Dagmar> (fucking finally) 11:32 <@Dolemite> Duh. HTML has color names that include semi-transparent ones. 11:32 <@Dolemite> That solved my issue. 11:47 <@Dolemite> By the way, if you've never played around with quickchart.js, it is the bee's knees. 11:47 <@Dolemite> I run it in a container on my internal network and use it to add graphs of all kinds to my email reports 11:48 <@Dagmar> Amr: THe usual way. With an entry in /etc/fstab 11:57 < Evilpig> Dolemite: dagmar has it. you can't css that. put it in style tags on the elements directly 11:57 < Evilpig> outlook is dumb 11:58 <@Dolemite> Yeah, I had it in the elements, but it was blocking the rgba() format. I went with background-color:tomato;color:white; 11:58 < Evilpig> yeah, use the color words too 11:58 < Evilpig> lightpink will probably be closer to what you want 11:58 <@Dolemite> I'd completely forgotten that they had color words for more than the basic primary colors 11:58 <@Dolemite> Nah, I tried lightpink and it didn't look as good 11:59 <@Dolemite> the rbga values I had were a starting point - not what I definitely wanted 11:59 < Evilpig> grab one of those sites with the color words listed 11:59 <@Dolemite> I found it at w3schools 11:59 < Evilpig> I would have answered earlier but I didn't notice. sorry 11:59 < Evilpig> been having some issues with my blood sugar around 11 every day making me feel drunk and very very foggy 12:13 <@Mirage> I'm so glad and feel so much better that I had to complete "active shooter" and "workplace security awareness" online training for a customer when I will NEVER set foot in any facility that they own/operate. Makes me feel so much better and like my time isn't being wasted at all. (BTW I'm billing double the time it took for this dumb-ass shit against their account because of the hassle and to make up for 12:13 <@Mirage> the brain cells I lost in the process) 12:15 <@Mirage> Our leadership really needs to push back a bit more on some of this stupidity. 12:24 <@Mirage> On a sep note, I'm due up for a "PC Refresh" again. Always fun trying to get a new laptop beaten into utter submission (at least as much as allowed by corp policies) and move all my documentation and shit over to a new one. New ones will still be 15", but have an "i7-vPro" (bit woop), 32G of RAM, and Nvidia MX450 (isn't that old as shit?). 12:26 <@Mirage> Damn, I should have asked my boss about getting an "Engineer/Developer" one instead of the "Technical Engineer" option...it's got a Quadro T1200 vs the MX450. Would have been nice for running VM's in VMware Workstation. 12:27 <@Mirage> THAT may have made it worthwhile 12:27 <@Mirage> Of course that's a Precision vs a Latitude, and I generally like the Latitude better 12:33 <@Mirage> Evilpig: guild is talking about moving to a DKP system and the guild leader was saying he was wanting to use a system he'd had before w/ a specific point value assigned to each slot and how if something dropped and you didn't have enough points to "buy" the item for that slot then you couldn't roll on it. One of the other guys said, "What if it's a class specific weapon, I'm the only one in the group, and 12:33 <@Mirage> I don't have enough points?" 12:34 <@Mirage> GL was like, "We kinda talked about that and we're not sure about allowing people to go into negative" 12:34 <@Mirage> THAT's pretty fucking stupid. 12:37 <@Mirage> In our system anyone could roll on anything (useable to them), but could opt to use DKP pts by whispering the loot master "bonus" and specifying how many of their points to add to the roll. If you won, whatever "bonus" you specified was deducted. If you rolled and specified "bonus" but noone else rolled against you then you lost half of what you specified vs all of it. 12:38 <@Mirage> That last bit was the insurance against ppl rolling on everything and specifying "bonus" all the time w/o fear of a penalty. 12:40 <@Mirage> So if it was something you kinda wanted and just /roll'd, and 2-3 other ppl also just /roll'd there was no "cost". It was still possible (and only happened once) where someone specified "bonus" and like 50 pts, but still lost the item against a normal roll w/o the bonus because they just had a shit roll. 16:40 < Evilpig> Mirage: I don't miss squabling over dkp 16:40 < Evilpig> or having to manage that shit too 16:47 <@Dagmar> THat's why I liked our guild. 16:47 <@Dagmar> No messing about with rules. 16:47 <@Dagmar> No messing about with plans. 16:47 <@Dagmar> ;) 16:47 <@Dagmar> "We actually pulled it off! Yay loot!" 16:47 <@Dagmar> The number of times we ran into a boss fight with maybe 2-3 of us having looked at a YouTube video... hahahah 16:48 <@Dagmar> We were masters of improvisation 17:42 -!- PigBot [~PigBot@wilpig.org] has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds] 17:58 -!- PigBot [~PigBot@wilpig.org] has joined #se2600 18:03 -!- PigBot [~PigBot@wilpig.org] has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds] 18:27 -!- PigBot [~PigBot@76.237.111.251] has joined #se2600 18:41 <@Mirage> https://www.cbsnews.com/news/fred-ward-died-actor-dead-age-79-cause-of-death-not-released-2022-05-13/ 18:41 < PigBot> Fred Ward, acclaimed film and television actor, has died at 79 - CBS News (at www.cbsnews.com) https://tinyurl.com/y2dsfpnk 18:43 <@Mirage> https://ew.com/tv/cw-cancels-naomi-charmed-dynasty-4400-more/ 18:43 < PigBot> The CW cancels Naomi, Charmed, Dynasty, Legacies, Roswell, 4400, more | EW.com (at ew.com) https://tinyurl.com/y3mhcrlo 18:43 <@Mirage> Suprised they didn't cancel Stargirl as well 18:44 < Evilpig> 4400 wasn't that bad.
