07:08 <@Dolemite> mr0ning, be0tches and h0ez!
07:16 < Evilpig> no
07:16 < Evilpig> just quit that
07:18 <@Dolemite> Hey, nobody made any claim as to the quality.   Just that it IS, in fact, morning.
07:57 < Evilpig> I'm trying to deny that morning has arrived
07:58 < Evilpig> got paged at 1am about load on some sql servers due to a shitty firewall appliance that breaks NFS connections
08:05 < Evilpig> time to see what my manager has to say now...  https://capture.dropbox.com/F2WBLnUwdWVD0Ll6

08:05 < Evilpig> all the tickets done yesterday were done by me.  our ticket bitch l2's did nothing....
08:06 < Evilpig> the one ticket they laid claim to I did the work on and he closed it but it was reopened because the firewall rules weren't done and the customer wasn't happy
09:47 <@Mirage> Meeting just popped up on my calendar titled "UPGRADATION ISSUE".   Not quite sure what that is
10:00  * aestetix hugs Dolemite 
10:00 < aestetix> Dolemite: you should give Evilpig a hug, sounds like he needs one
10:01 < aestetix> And maybe hold it a second too long, just to show him you care
13:14 <@Dolemite> HOLY FUCKING SHIT.   I've never seen such a horribly designed UI as https://treasurydirect.gov user login.   You are required to CLICK ON A VIRTUAL KEYBOARD to enter your password!

13:15 < Evilpig> is that the site whree you can buy the i-bonds?
13:15 <@Dolemite> yep
13:15 < Evilpig> I heard it was bad, but didn't look into how bad
13:15 <@Dolemite> Currently paying out at 9.62%
13:16 < Evilpig> that for 1yr or 30
13:16 <@Dolemite> Annual, interest compounded semi-annually, max 10 year holding term
13:17 <@Dolemite> If you use it to pay for education expenses, you bypass tax on the gains
13:19 <@Dolemite> The 9.62% is guaranteed for the 6 months following your purchase and that rate is set through end of October.   November 1 the new rate comes out, which will likely be lower since interest rates on loans are going up.
13:19 < Evilpig> daily time wasting meeting in 10 minutes....
13:20 <@opticron> Dolemite, my bank was doing that shit for a while
13:20 <@opticron> they stopped it pretty damn quick
13:20 <@Dolemite> These are US Treasure Bonds
13:20 <@opticron> yeah....

15:20 < Evilpig> I made a thing.  
15:20 < Evilpig> My coworkers are proding me to push this out into our config management engine silently
15:30 <@Dagmar> Why not just make it a very subtle watermark?  ;)
15:31 <@Dagmar> I mentioned "low-latency blockchain BGP integration" at a bar and got someone to spray beer
15:31 <@Dagmar> @#$@# wrong chnanel
15:31 < Evilpig> I might tinker with it more.  but this could happen
15:32 <@Dagmar> Remember, it's _just_ a monkey and a football
15:32 <@Dagmar> Anyone saying otherwise is a sick, sick person
15:32 < Evilpig> it's a description of my situation there right now
15:32 < Evilpig> I was surprised how quickly I found that image from all those phreaknic's ago
15:55 < Evilpig> when grub is converting the png it's removing the transparency from the layer.  gonna have to play with this a bit to get it to behave it seems
16:12 <@Dagmar> Last I checked it transparency wasn't really relevant to those splash screens
16:13 < Evilpig> I didn't know what it was doing the png to convert it for output but transparency is not a thing
16:14 <@eryc> just lower the brightness way down
16:17 < Evilpig> i'll futz with it more tomorrow.  I had set the blend on the layer to 5% and in the png it's very faint but when grub got ahold of it, it was a hot mess
21:55 <@Dagmar> ...or just take the transparency out entirely, so you know what it'll look like in advance
22:54  * Dagmar despairs for humanity
