06:02 <@Dolemite> mr0ning, be0tches and h0ez!
06:02 <@Dolemite> Hrmm.   So in terms of organizing movies into folders, would one consider Madame Web a tragedy?
06:03 <@Dolemite> Yes, I actually told Radarr to snag that for me

07:12 < Evilpig> nihil-: because I didn't put logic into to check the length of hte string and just told it to watch for the pattern to throw up a preview of.  generating the tinyurl is just part of that function.  
08:18 <@Dagmar> Japan has gone too far this time

08:18 <@Dagmar> Keep my caffiene out of your goddamn batteries
08:29 < Evilpig> Dag are you worried that will cut into your supply?
09:01 <@Dagmar> I'm not takin' any chances
09:18 <@Mirage> Not sure what the deal is on this mini.  Kept getting weird artifacting on the screen, so fiogured onboard intel video was flaky and stuck a video card in it.  Then windows started blue screening.  Ran memtest86 on it and it passed all tests.  Reinstalled Windows, still getting blue screens.  Swapped CPU, same.  Swapped memory and it's been stable since last night.  
09:19 <@Mirage> Doesn't make sense that the RAM passed in testing, but is apparently the problem.
09:20 <@Mirage> I thought the NVME might be screwy and swapped it, but when I still got the blue screens I swapped it back.
09:20 <@Mirage> Any other good memory test software to try on it?
10:11 <@Mirage> Got it narrowsed down to one stick.  Tried to call Patriot and got 'The toll free number you called has been disconnected."  =(

14:02 <@Mirage> hmmm... Diablo IV on the Steam Spring Sale for 50% off
14:02 < Evilpig> it isn't any spectacular but i've enjoyed it
14:03 < Evilpig> the seasonal content so far has been mildly interesting.
14:04 < Evilpig> if you get it I can cross platform play with ya, which is neat
14:06 <@Mirage> I should check out New World again.  Supposedly they fixed a ton of stuff and I haven't played it in so long it'll practically be a new game for me
14:07 <@Mirage> Heh, Star Wars Squadrons is on sale for 95% off ($1.99).  Not sure it's worth it.
14:08 <@Mirage> I got it free w/ my EA/Origin Pass and it didn't do anything for me.

17:37 <@Mirage> Now I find myself pondering if I might want to snag one in case I decide to put one of these in my rack and want to connect it to my KVM.  
18:01 <@Mirage> Ah, Madam Web hit plex.  Guess it's time for another poor life choice for today

19:12 <@Mirage> Irish Wish just screams "Hallmark Movie" to me, based on the poster
19:13 <@Mirage> the Shift has in interesting cast.  
19:33 <@Mirage> The way they do the premonitions in Madame Web do an excellent job of screwing up the continuity of the movie.  
19:34 <@Dagmar> What do you expect when your primary character is temporally discontiguous?
20:08 < Evilpig> I just turned on the irish wish,  it might be funny
20:08 < Evilpig> it'll be background noise no matter
20:08 < Evilpig> been playing factorio again tonight
20:27 <@Mirage> Be sure to name the save game at ~3am "omg it's late"

22:01 <@Dagmar> WHat is with Ms Webb being like, a serial larcenist, and into arson?
