05:53 <@Dolemite> mr0ning, be0tches and h0ez!
05:55 <@Dolemite> Alas, I think it's time to replace my monitor on this system.   There's a nice horizontal line of dead pixels right across dead center.

08:33 <@Dagmar> Hmm... Someone asking about whether or not I have a "bio" online
08:33 <@Dagmar> The name seems vaguely familiar
08:35 <@Dagmar> Proabbly one of the ops from #linux finally doing something about people being driven awya
11:29 -!- eryc [~eric@user/eryc] has quit [Quit: leaving]
11:46 <@Dolemite> yay, blue screen on work laptop!
11:46 <@Dolemite> faulty hardware corrupt page
12:02 <@Mirage> is it just me or is SCOTUS trying to nitpick and tie knots in what's being presented in effort to obviscate the shit out of it and do as much as they can to provide Trump an out.  
12:03 <@Dagmar> It's not just you
12:03 <@Dagmar> There's a reason people right now have more faith in used car salesmen
12:37 < Evilpig> I know y'all don't care but the second part of dune showed up in 4k last night
12:40 < Evilpig> that's a weird summary.  https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/845783

12:40 <@Mirage> Maybe if I had a 4k TV I would care..but I don't have one and don't plan on getting one until/unless one of the existing 1080's die
12:40 < Evilpig> I get that 
12:41 < Evilpig> I can't justify spending cash on replacing stuff that is still working good
12:41 <@Dagmar> My eyes just aren't that good
12:42 <@Mirage> I did reencode the one I pulled down to 1080 vs 720, though.  I don't do that on many movies, but with something like Dune it certainly fit
12:42 <@Dagmar> I can only barely tell the difference between 1080 and 4k with the 42" sitting on my fuckin' desk
12:42 <@Dagmar> I'm not generally going to worry about it for the 65" or whatever in the livingroom thats eight or so feet from the couch
12:47 < Evilpig> the color difference with HDR content and support are really noticable at 4k
12:51 < Evilpig> damnit to hell
12:51 < Evilpig> they want me to drive in for an all hands meeting on the 30th
12:52 <@Dolemite> I'll save you a seat in the cool kids section
12:52 < Evilpig> chad just said that the powers that be specifically said they would like the offsite people to attend this one
12:53 <@Dolemite> Interesting.   Of course, I haven't been in team meeting because of travel...  hadn't heard that one
12:54 < Evilpig> 4/30 I don't have a good excuse.  5/30  I'd cite my travel the next week and say i'd prefer to not
12:58 <@Dolemite> The all hands is once a quarter
12:58 <@Dolemite> So next one will be in July
13:01 <@Dagmar> Once a quarter I'm fine with
13:49 <@Mirage> Seeing this on a resume doesn't give me warm and fuzzies:  "Programming languages - ... HTML (20 yrs), ... , & awk (10 yrs)"
13:49 < Evilpig> html lol
13:50 < Evilpig> awk ... I mean there is some advance scripting in there that can be done
13:50 < Evilpig> if you're gonna list it you best have something other than awk {'print $3'} in your toolbelt. 
13:50 <@Mirage> Yeah, you can do a lot of crazy stuff with it, but most people don't
15:01 <@Mirage> Windows on this workstation is being weird.  Only had 99G free w/ all my VMs sitting on C: (480G disk), so decided I'd toss in an SSD as a second drive and kick them over there.  Snagged an old one off the shelf and jammed it it.  Explorer kept intermittently crashing, so I replaced with another identical disk.  Windows claims that the SteamApps and VirtualMachines directories both already exist on this 
15:01 <@Mirage> other one even though they don't.
15:01 <@Mirage> This is a new one on me
15:10 < Evilpig> sounds like some weird cache problem
15:13 <@Mirage> After a reboot?
15:27 < Evilpig> mac's index the drives and store everything in something they call the spotlight cache.  it's a physical file
15:28 < Evilpig> No telling what windows does these days.  but that's how it sounds
22:55 <@jb7od> anybody got any quick and dirty anti-drone measures/countermeasures to share with the ether?
