03:57 < nihil-> dark matter is bullshit 
06:14 < Evilpig> the show or the theoretical matter?
07:23 < Evilpig> HAHAAH "no... we killed him"
07:31 <@Dolemite> mr0ning, be0tches and h0ez!
07:59 <@Mirage> Old show or upcoming show?
08:13 -!- epyc is now known as eryc
08:22 <@Mirage> So far the forced Win11 upgrade on the work laptop has gone exactly as expected.  This morning I thought the thing was bricked as it sat at the spinning dots screen for ~45m, finally did the account setup stuff, and now has nothing on it and gives 'out of compliance' or 'missing component' errors when trying to launch pretty much anything.   
08:30 < Evilpig> gotta love it
08:30 < Evilpig> our windows guys were complaining about 11 not working with several of our tools with similar stories
08:40 <@Dagmar> I somewhat suspect the number of Windows admins who don't really take package management seriously is reaching epidemic levels
08:46 <@Mirage> watching Colbert.  Quote of the day (so far), "How do you gag someone who talks out of their ass?"
08:47 <@Dagmar> Using a whole pineapple
08:47 <@Dolemite> ++
08:49 <@Dagmar> Lordy... listening to our head Windows guy complain about Teams and Outlook apps being sluggish and horrible
08:49 <@Dagmar> I kinda want to remind him, "Isn't it your job to fix that?"
08:57 <@Mirage> Well, Sharepoint was/is a slow PoS and Teams, etc are integrated w/ them so....working as intended
08:58 <@Dagmar> I just use the browser versions of those things
09:13 <@Dagmar> Damn NetworkManager or libvirt needs to figure their shit out as to who does what for bridges
09:13 <@Dagmar> ...and I'm thinking the more guilty party is libvirt
09:14 <@Dagmar> You can create a bridge and add members to it through NetworkManager...
09:14 <@Dagmar> Telling libvirt about a bridge makes it try to create the thing, but it won't put _real_ interfaces in as slaves from what I can tell
09:25 < Evilpig> new teams/outlook are garbage.  the two don't even have feature parity with their previous versions
09:25 < Evilpig> in the case of outlook there's some feature I use regularly that's just flat out missing but I can't recall what it is.  ALSO  the search function is retarded
09:26 < Evilpig> why the FUCK does it default to searching every damned folder insead of the folder you're currently in?  and why is there no setting to change that behavior?
09:26 < Evilpig> I don't want to search my trash for things.  I want to find messages in the folder i'm currently in ffs
09:26 < Evilpig> so you have to search, then change the scope so it's an extra click, EVERY SINGLE TIME
09:28 < Evilpig> new teams has a similar one.  if you click the + to attach a file, then you click the paperclip to attach a file then you have to pick again before it brings up the file picker.  this used to be one click now it's three
09:32 < Evilpig> I know what it was.  internet connected calendars.  you can't add them in the new outlook
09:33 < Evilpig> so like if you want to pull your google calendar into outlook that interface is just missing now
10:14 <@Dagmar> I'm still using Classic teams (even via the web) because the new version wants to send me popup notifications every time someone says anything in any channel
10:15 < Evilpig> ours forced us over to the new teams early
10:16 < Evilpig> it popped up asking about switching I said no, it said screw you i'll do it when you're idle.  looked away for a couple of seconds and it was the new teams
10:17 < Evilpig> eric andre coming to marathon.  https://www.ticketweb.com/event/the-eric-andre-show-live-marathon-music-works-tickets/13643473

10:17 < Evilpig> presale code "ANDRE24"
10:47 <@Mirage> Why are RJ45 SFP+ GBICs so much more than MM fibre?
10:47 <@Mirage> I've never understood this...
10:53 <@Dagmar> Me neither.
10:53 <@Dagmar> My _guess_ is that you can do that without a lot of power on short runs because all the modesly priced cables are like 2-10ft
10:54 <@Dagmar> Something that might be expected to run max length may require more refined components and methods
10:54 <@Dagmar> ...but still... $30 to $250 is nuts
11:38 <@Mirage> Dell help desk decided that I need to re-reimage my drive and that they have to send me a USB thumbdrive to do it.  So I guess I'm off work at least until tomorrow.
11:52 < Evilpig> we have tomorrow off
11:52 < Evilpig> can't they give you an image that you can throw on a flash drive yourself?
12:01 <@Dolemite> Ugh.   Fuckity fuck fuck.   If you configure GitLab to use object storage apparently some of the objects it stores (like your logo, for instance) it expects the web browser client to be able to reach that object store directly.   That's like, the opposite of good security.
12:42 -!- odioimber [~odioimber@user/odioimber] has joined #se2600
12:44 <@Dolemite> *whew*  They have an option to enable proxy downloading
12:47 < Evilpig> interesting.  https://gop.com is blocked from my vpn
12:47 < PigBot> Republican National Committee | GOP (at gop.com) https://tinyurl.com/y3u2xkb7
13:17 <@Mirage>  Classified as a terrorist organization?
13:46 < Evilpig> I think it's interesting that they block connections from known vpn providers, things like tor, etc.
14:54 < Synx_> Anybody watch Redacted on youtube for the lolz?
14:55 < Synx_> They are saying the Baltimore bridge collapse is some how related to aid package to Ukraine 
14:59 < Synx_> The comments on this video are concerning
15:01 < Evilpig> the conspiracy nuts will come out of the woodwork every time
15:02 < Synx_> I'm really worried for this country
15:02 < Evilpig> you should be
15:03 < Evilpig> but I don't know that it is any worse now than it was 50 years ago other than we have lowered the barrier to entry by introducing mass communications to the dumb
15:03 < Synx_> good point
15:03 < Evilpig> it's much easier to get a game of telephone going now with modern tech, but the ignorance is still the same.
15:04 < Evilpig> tech has made it to where the crazies are able to reach the people that would previously have been on the fence but now they are more apt to hear from someone that can ease them over the line with the right plausible phrasing or carefully editted video
15:05 < Synx_> its gotten really difficult to sort the curds from the whey
15:06 < Evilpig> add in the steerage from youtube, facebook, tiktok, twitter, etc and you've just amplified the crazy.  crazy = clicks = ad revenue = more steerage
15:06 < Synx_> there are some things that are obviously massive conspiracies like UAP so i dont know when something is a legit coverup anymore
15:06 < Evilpig> my video feed is half naked to fully naked chicks claiming to talk about fashion while showing off their bits, and stupid skit videos 
15:07 < Synx_> hey so is mine, and thats new
15:07 < Synx_> its usually all tech stuff or airplane stuff
15:07 < Evilpig> the chicks or ricky are new?
15:07 < Synx_> for the past week or so its been women in suggestive dress
15:08 < Evilpig> https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ftYP_idJUHw
15:08 < Synx_> lol wtf is that
15:08 < PigBot> Ricky takes petty to a whole new level #breadstickricky #bossman - YouTube (at www.youtube.com) https://tinyurl.com/284mfxsr
15:08 < Evilpig> that's ricky.  cracks my shit up
15:08 < Evilpig> one dude uses filters to have a couple of recurring characters that all work in construction.
15:09 < Synx_> haha
15:10 < Evilpig> dude had one talking about some dude was pissing him off so to get back at him he was rebuilding a motor and cross threaded every bolt and used the green loctite.  the next MF'r to try to take it apart will pay the price because that's one solid piece of metal now
15:10 < Synx_> haha
15:16 < Evilpig> back in the early '00s there used to be sites where you could go to get off various mailing lists.  like physical mailing lists, catalogs, etc.
15:17 < Evilpig> I have a need for one of those but the reverse
15:17 -!- Irssi: #se2600: Total of 22 nicks [11 ops, 0 halfops, 0 voices, 11 normal]
15:17 < Evilpig> anyone know of such a place?  one for phone calls solicitations would be useful as well
15:17 < Evilpig> thinking I need to go trolling around some onion sites 
15:18 < Synx_> open a new credit card, that seems to get you on quite a few lists
15:21 <@Dolemite> A subscription to the Buttplug of the Month Club may be in order
15:23 < Synx_> man this fucking sucks, i purchased those computers to fix and that micro firewall thingy to build, i purchased a laser cutter/engraver got all excited about that stuff then dumped back into depression where i could not care less about any of it
15:24 < Evilpig> Synx_: I think I have enough info to do that, but that crosses a specific legal line
15:31 < Synx_> ahh i see
15:32 < Evilpig> interstate identity/financial fraud... nope.  not gonna do it.
15:32 < Evilpig> that's a quick fed visit
15:32 < Synx_> ya ha i thought you were looking for yourself to sign up, i am not smrt
15:33 < Evilpig> we on the same page now?  quest understood?
15:33 < Synx_> yes lol
15:34 < Evilpig> today I also learned you can get free HIV tests ordered online
15:34 < Evilpig> and "trump is not above the law" stickers as well
15:34 < Synx_> haha nice
15:35 < Evilpig> peta has a think up for some free stickers too but their form is broken and upset me
15:36 < Synx_> craigs list ads might be a good way on the phone front
15:36 < Synx_> and with election stuff ramping up anything for either party or both
15:37 < Evilpig> I have a special campaign in mind for craigslist and backpage
15:37 < Synx_> maybe an 'im interested in a timeshare' type of form
15:37 < Synx_> haha
15:37 < Evilpig> nothin' says class like a handy for a little sniff sniff
15:38 < Evilpig> I gotta get some other things in place before that starts though
15:38 < Synx_> haha, i wonder how much traction you'd get if you write the number down at a truck stop shitter stall
15:38 < Evilpig> heh.  need someone doing some traveling for that
15:39 < Evilpig> I can't be anywhere near any of these thought exercises
15:39 < Evilpig> Thank you!
15:39 < Evilpig> You should receive your catalog in the next 2-3 weeks.
15:40 < Synx_> haha
15:42 < Evilpig> awwww shit.  I know who are the most tenacious about calling
15:43 < Evilpig> time shares
15:44 < Synx_> ya they do not fuck around when it comes to calling you right in the middle of dinner
16:16 <@Dagmar> If you're on the do not call list the majority of those are illegal calls
16:17 <@Dagmar> ...but it seems like 99% of them just hang up when they get the google call screener
16:30 < Evilpig> I am on that list, but again not quite the point here
16:30 < Evilpig> kinda the exact opposite
16:41  * aestetix hugs Dolemite 
16:41 < aestetix> I know you've missed the hugs 
16:42 < aestetix> https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-68689823
16:42 < PigBot> Stay! Germany denies reports of sausage dog ban (at www.bbc.com) https://tinyurl.com/2yuv3y33
16:45 < Synx_> Whelp time for my weekly one on one with my manager who isn't the most pleasant person to be around, lets see if i get fired this week
16:46 < aestetix> why do you have a weekly one on one
16:48 < Synx_> so im not sure what the rest of my team mates have for scheduled one on one, but i used to have about once a month with my old manager but i recently got transferred and the new mgr setup weekly, if i am an outlier then its because my old manager told the new mgr to keep an eye on me since ive been struggling hardcore lately 
16:49 < Synx_> round about way of saying, it was their decision to make it weekly and its likely because i suck at my job at the moment
16:52 < Evilpig> oof, sorry dude
16:53 < Evilpig> I had a 1:1 with my manager today for the first time in three months and he was basically asking about my mental state because I haven't said much about it at work but they all know what's going on
16:53 < Evilpig> he encouraged me again to take time off and just to let him know if I have to run because of something related
16:53 < Synx_> meh is what it is, i expected to be fired last week when they did the yearly review but somehow made it through, but they stack rank here and force attrit the bottom 6% typically so ill be canned later in the year if i dont get out of this depression
16:54 < Synx_> Evilpig, thats awesome glad you have a supportive manager
16:56 < Evilpig> we also talked about some of the tickets we've been getting and he discussed trying to keep me out of them because I have shown a higher aptitude toward the systems architecture/engineering side of the house and that's where he wants me to stay focused
16:58 < Synx_> sweet
16:59 < Evilpig> I am grateful for the folks I work with currently.  I have a really great bunch of folks
16:59 < Evilpig> even Dolemite 
17:09 < Synx_> :)
17:09 < Synx_> its good to have an awesome team, my last job i had an amazing team and manager, im 100% remote now though so its quite a bit harder to mesh with my "team"
18:06 <@Dagmar> For *fucks* sake
18:06 <@Dagmar> _wall_ has a CVE filed against it because it's being interpreted that it's a _bug_ that wall lets you sent whatever the fuck you want at people's terminals
18:06 <@Dagmar> Like, this has been a known for motherfucking decades.
18:28 < Synx_> lol
