07:50 <@Mirage> I completely agree with this quote: “What’s happened is there aren’t many real Republicans anymore,” Biden said, adding, “I respect conservative Republicans. I don’t respect these MAGA Republicans.”
08:05 <@Mirage> LOL.. Typical engineer not thinking about what he's doing.  https://youtu.be/t2SSc-K3cTc?t=294

08:16 <@opticron> yes, lets just couple the wave to be buildings better
08:16 <@opticron> *the
08:22 <@Dagmar> Wait... is someone reporting that Mr. Trump doesn't pay his bills?
08:23 <@Dagmar> That _never_ happens
08:44 < aestetix> Apparently truth social is costing trump $320k a month
08:44 < aestetix> which is fucking hilarious, since it's basically a mastadon instance
08:45 <@Dagmar> Yeah they should just go ahead and sever his network connection there
08:46 <@Dagmar> I mean, the customer has a history of non-payment of large bills, and evem long-term refusal to pay, AND the customer is about to go to fuckin' jail
08:46 <@Dagmar> It's time for their ISP to cut their losses
08:57 <@Dagmar> Get one the size of the parts of the bible most people actually follow
08:57 <@Dagmar> !@#$#@

09:02 <@Dagmar> Umm... Fuck her
09:02 < Evilpig_> he's a cunt
09:04 <@Dagmar> If they wanted that stuff done sooner they should have said so
09:04 < Evilpig_> that was my point
09:05 <@Dagmar> Maybe next time respond with the definition of "tardy".
09:06 <@Dolemite> Yeah, that's pretty stupid.   Put a due date of late September but harass you about it in August.
09:07 <@Dagmar> Putting your workers into a no-win situation is amateur hour
09:08 <@Mirage> What does Guy have to say about what's going on?  
09:08 <@Dolemite> His response is in that thread
09:08 <@Mirage> I mean in general
09:09 <@Dolemite> Yeah, you're correct, but the tardy emails start at 45 days out and go to the whole management chain
09:09 <@Mirage> In general means not just for this...
09:10 <@Dolemite> So he's taking the stance of "Just stay under the radar"
09:10 <@Dagmar> No, just becoming infected with busybody bullshit
09:10 <@Dagmar> It's Vanderbilt, after all
09:10 <@Mirage> Which was close to his stance when he had kind of come back at the end of my time and Hogan had failed upward
09:10 <@Dagmar> Reality doesn't matter, it's all about bullshittery
09:11 <@Dagmar> Hogan should have been ejected at speed
09:12 <@Mirage> I always (mostly) liked Guy as a person, but I wasn't overly impressed with him as a technical or management resource
09:12 <@Mirage> The bird whistling and talking in the background was always amusing for meetings though when he joined from hgome
09:12 <@Dagmar> When I actually bring you brightly colored fucking bar charts and paperwork showing that your public infra is going to fall over on a specific date, historical data showing the last three times it's done so, and you laugh it off *and* act surprised when it happens, then fuck you for being an irresponssible git
09:23 < Evilpig_> guy's response is the third down in that list, Mirage 
09:24 < Evilpig_> it was a non-committal do it response.
09:24 < Evilpig_> the entire management chain is darryl
09:24 < Evilpig_> darryl then forwarded it to a bunch of other people.  idgaf
09:24 <@Mirage> Evilpig_: I saw that...I was asking in regard to the rest of the shit going on
09:25 < Evilpig_> nothing.  been radio silence
09:25 <@Dagmar> "look at how much work I'm doing over here!"
09:25 < Evilpig_> I've leaned into lacy's stupid policies this week and I've taken every single ticket that has come in this week and nobody else has anything to show for the week
09:26 < Evilpig_> there are three tickets hanging out in the queue that I haven't snatched to deploy some new hosts, and that process is automated!, and they haven't even been provisioned
09:26 <@Dolemite> Well if you took them then Lacy wouldn't feel satisfaction from assigning them to you
09:26 < Evilpig_> the micromanaging fuckwhit isn't consistent.  fuckin' shitbird
09:26 < Evilpig_> he hasnt' assigned me shit
09:26 <@Mirage> I'm sure no one in here gives a shit, but the WoW Classic "Invasion" patch pre-WotLK comes out next week
09:26 < Evilpig_> I've closed almost every ticket within an hour of them showing up
09:27 <@Dolemite> However, CATCH-22, if you took them he would feel satisfaction from the idea that he has mentored you into being proactive with the tickets
09:27 < Evilpig_> a couple within minutes
09:27 < Evilpig_> I'm not supposed to be doing tickets!
09:27 <@Dolemite> I thought that was the whole Secondary On-Call thing
09:27 < Evilpig_> I've got no other work to do.  and the argument against doing tickets is going against his stupid policies but at the same time I have a moral objection to wasting time and being a lazy fuck
09:27 <@Dolemite> Or did you go off of on-call on Monday
09:27 < Evilpig_> I'm secondary as of monday
09:28 < Evilpig_> I was out sick monday and tuesday and the cunt assignment me tickets to do while I was out sick
09:28 <@Dagmar> If that ever comes up, just go to HR about it
09:28 < Evilpig_> been to HR
09:28 < Evilpig_> they won't even respond to me at this point
09:29 <@Dagmar> They're not even allowed to think about you if you called in sick
09:29 <@Dagmar> Assigning you a think with a time component while you're out sick is a bitch move
09:29 <@Dagmar> s/think/thing/
09:29 < Evilpig_> he went as far yesterday to tell chad that if he were assigned this documentation project that they just gave chad, he would just knuckle down and do it over the wekeend and bang it out
09:30 < Evilpig_> to which every single person in our team silently said "fuck you, i'm not working on the weekend asshole!"
09:30 < Evilpig_> after we were off that call, that was said outloud ina  private call between all of us
09:30 <@Mirage> With the main account I'm on I only do tickets as escalations, projects, or if it's something that is restricted to US-Only resources.  When the India guys get overly backed up I'll be asked to snatch a few to help w/ the queue.  Under normal circumstances the India team whines and causes lots of drama when/if I start wontonly grabbing and completing 4-5x more tickets than their entire team in the same 
09:30 <@Dolemite> He's just sucking up
09:30 <@Mirage> amount of time.  Been there, done that, not in the mood for the backlash.
09:30 < Evilpig_> I think that fucker actually does stuff all the time.  he does not have a stop time for work.  he's trying to prove something for sure.  I get work related emails from him at 6p, 9p, etc
09:31 < Evilpig_> I see them monday morning and wtf every time
09:32 < Evilpig_> I also automated some work that needs to be done on the 7th of next month that he was trying to force Jeff to sign on and do at 6am that morning
09:32 <@Mirage> Sublett?
09:32 < Evilpig_> Neely
09:33 <@Mirage> OK.  I was gonna say, "Wow! He hasn't retired yet?"
09:33 < Evilpig_> in my weekly wrap up of shit, I have 5 or 6 of these now "T01801283 – Created custom health monitor and related pool updates so this change is done automatically and needs no admin intervention at 6am"
09:33 < Evilpig_> neely should have retired too.  he's of that same age bracket
09:36 <@Mirage> Doh.. Just discovered why my Lab-ESXi-1 has been throwing multipath errors and shit...duplicate IP on one of the interfaces for NFS/iSCSI.  Duh
09:36 < Evilpig_> Mirage: this time the movie queue is really done.  I swear.  it has zero items in it.  I just need to audit all the ones it finished the last little bit for any subtitle shenanigans and i'll stop manhandling the timestamps. 
09:36 <@Dagmar> I see it's still  salary when it's convenient, hourly when it's not.
09:37 <@Mirage> It also explains why my virtual plex box has some weird issues w/ the NFS mounts sometimes
09:37 < Evilpig_> we had a department meeting yesterday where guy introduced his new initiative to document everything so any jagoff can do any task around here...
09:38 < Evilpig_> they went through and set up a system where they have a subject matter expert, an apprentice to that person, and then two people to handle the documenation of that topic...
09:38 <@Mirage> Precursor to outsourcing to India?
09:38 < Evilpig_> It's EXTREMELY clear that they have a fear of me
09:39 < Evilpig_> I was named the "expert" for almost everything that the linux group does except for dns and the f5
09:54 <@Dagmar> It's because very few of the people over there have any serious experience
09:56 <@Dagmar> So they're now about to learn (again) that complex sysadmin tasks involving millions of dollars of equipment aren't the sort of thing you should have people doing by blindly following a fucking 4-page memo
09:59 < Evilpig_> it's not even that.  they've run off nearly all the people that will get down into a system and figure it out and have these tagalongs that want all the knowledge without the work
10:00 < Evilpig_> I know how all these things work because i've gotten in and worked in them.  dance monkey!  do things.
10:01 < Evilpig_> One of the services they decided to document, etc is our SFTP service.  they put Jeff from our group as the expert and one of our other guys as the backup, and then two windows clowns
10:02 <@Dagmar> "Please condense the result of years of study and experience into a 3 page memo so people can pretend to do your job"
10:02 < Evilpig_> Wtf can these windows guys even do there?  they aren't getting root, yes I have that mostly managed by an ansible playbook but you can't just look at that and be all "I know how this works now"
10:02 <@Dagmar> Middle-management is not-so-secretly convinced that we're all just overpaid typists.
10:02 < Evilpig_> in the windows world, I think that's true
10:03 <@Dagmar> Therefore it makes perfect sense that people should casually "cross-train" advanced system administration tasks in their spare time
10:04 <@Dagmar> Maybe ask them if they'd like everyone to casually "cross train" speaking fluent Russian
10:04 <@Dagmar> Spanish for the Windows admins, Mandarin for the Unix side
10:59 <@Dolemite> Cheng gei wo sang pijiu, hao ma!
11:00 <@Dolemite> All the Mandarin I remember.   But it's important.
11:35 <@Dolemite> Oh, man.   One of our subdivision neighbors that always bought popcorn/cookies/etc from the kids has terminal cancer.   One of his "bucket list wishes" was to ride in a Ferrari.   Not only did somebody come through for him - the license plate on this red Ferrari is 'BUELLER'.
11:58 <@Dagmar> Okay.  That's it.
11:58 <@Dagmar> This weekend I'm writing a new Aesop's Fable called "The beaver and the pine cones"
11:58 <@Dagmar> It's about a young beaver who wants to know why he can't carry pine cones by shoving them up his ass.
11:59 <@Dagmar> ...because the beaver should have used /dev/urandom in the first goddamn place.
12:01 < Evilpig_> Dolemite: nice
12:02 < Evilpig_> I just had a windows admin have the audacity to ask me if I am on the vpn or not
12:02 < Evilpig_> motherfucker...  I am NOT as incompetent as you or your ilk.  I just sent you a screenshot of the drops in the fireall showing that I am being blocked.  then he asked me what the IP was in the source of that screenshot
12:03 < Evilpig_> he doesn't even recognize our vpn subnet....
12:03 < Evilpig_> if I could reach through the screen right now there would just be a slightly gurgling sound
12:05 <@Dagmar> Well, you know those source addresses... they're challenging for even the netsec guys
12:06 <@Mirage> lemme guess...it starts with 160.129
12:07  * Mirage tries to remember VUMC netblock.
12:07 <@Dagmar> The lack of response is supposed to be how you know they timed out
12:07 <@Dagmar> #$@#4
12:10 <@Dagmar> beuys: Okay now compare that to what happens after you've changed your nameserver settings
12:10 <@Dagmar> @#$@#$
12:12 <@Mirage> ~40m in on Samaritan and it's better than I expected...of course my expectations for any Stallone movie are already pretty low.
12:13 < Evilpig_> i saw that appear last night and was gonna check it out
12:17 < Evilpig_> https://imdb.com/title/tt14309446/
12:17 < PigBot> Me Time (2022) - IMDb (at imdb.com) https://tinyurl.com/2mnp47m7
12:17 < Evilpig_> also got this to check out
12:21 <@Mirage> Yeah.  "Me Time" is on Netflix and "Samaritan" is on Amazon Prime
13:24 <@Mirage> Yay.  Picked up an old Quadro k2000 for next to nothing and slapped it in my ESXi host w/ the p2000 in it passed thru to Plex and the BIOS actually allows it to be primary video whereas w/ the old GT 710 it wouldn't.
13:34 <@Mirage> What this means is that I can actually use the console on the ESXi host again.  Before video would hang as soon as it got to loading pci-passthru settings.
13:37 <@Mirage> Whoa..and now encoding is running 2-2.5x faster than before..which makes no sense, but I'm not gonna bitch
13:38 <@Dagmar> Probably because it's trustin that the hardware is using reasonable settings
13:38 <@Dagmar> ...which could really mean just about anything.
13:39 <@Mirage> W/ that k2000 in there the couple of virtual desktops (jump/util boxes) I have should run a lot better too w/ the shared graphics 
13:44 <@Mirage> Chewing through the Beavis and Butthead's in a bit over a min each for the encoding and the verification.  Not too shabby.
13:52 < Evilpig_> the new ones this week made me laugh
13:53 < Evilpig_> butthead on mood stablizers was quite comical
13:53 <@Mirage> I'm a bit behind
13:53 < Evilpig_> I was watching it in the livingroom and ash kept giving me that "really?" look
13:54 <@Mirage> Isn't that he permanent look for you?
13:54 <@Mirage> ^s/he/her/
13:58 < Evilpig_> just about
14:01 <@Mirage> Evilpig_: your _'s hanging out again.
14:11 < Evilpig_> yeah I know.
14:11 -!- You're now known as Evilpig
14:16 < Evilpig> it split the other day and I just hadn't bothered to re-auth
14:52 <@Dolemite> Heh, Trump search affidavit info is trickling out, now
14:52 <@Dolemite> FBI cites 'evidence of obstruction'
15:03 <@Mirage> the whole thing was posted on NPR this morning.. well, redacted, but the whole thing
15:03 <@Mirage> 38 pages of goodness with some black bars and boxes here/there
15:30 <@eryc> there's nothing interesting in it but its here https://www.politico.com/f/?id=00000182-daec-dfd1-adef-dafe79d30000
