[00:32:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> damnit, now i gotta write a gui client for mastodon. i HATE coding gui shit.
[00:32:53] <chromas> Are you adding it to sn or somethin'?
[00:33:22] <Bytram> whereto? http://go.theregister.com
[00:33:24] <upstart> ^ 0374 countries hit by NSA-powered WannaCrypt ransomware backdoor • The Register ( https://www.theregister.co.uk )
[00:33:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, looking to get paid to set up a private instance for some folks.
[00:33:54] <chromas> Make it play Mastadon in the background too
[00:33:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh, nm, there's already a linux client.
[00:34:14] <chromas> Get paid to pretend to make it for them
[00:34:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, i'd like repeat business. they pay like oil guys.
[00:36:05] <chromas> lol, there's a tool called feed2toot
[00:36:22] <chromas> sends rss feeds to mastodon posts
[00:40:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya, that'd be handy to tie in to Bender

[00:46:05] <AndyTheAbsurd> \m/ Mastodon! \m/ (referring to the band obviously)
[00:54:39] * Bytram checks his weather forecast and sees heavy rain from sat PM until well into Monday. :P
[00:57:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> well, japanese people sure like mastodon
[00:59:09] <Bytram> especially when it's cloned from blood found in a resin-ated mosquito.
[00:59:19] <Bytram> ;)
[01:01:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> heh, their core server is SJW paradise. even more censored than twitter.
[01:01:51] <Bytram> Super Juicy Whales?
[01:02:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> good thing i was only looking to set up a private instance i guess
[01:02:47] <Bytram> prolly
[01:05:13] -!- jasassin [jasassin!~jasassin@923-919-40-91-ktkgfbv.midco.net] has joined #Soylent
[01:05:23] <TheMightyBuzzard> specially as i'm looking to set it up for a bunch of texas cowboys. they'd get booted the first day if it was censored in any way.
[01:07:40] * Bytram thinks of some Rangers seeking out retribution... senses TMB just *might* be onto something.
[01:10:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> s'a very tight-knit company. they hire as much for personality and how well you'd fit in as they do for qualifications. they like need a good way to keep in touch about stuff that anyone may need to know but ain't worth sending a mass-email.
[01:11:49] <chromas> diet email
[01:12:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> basically.
[01:12:40] <TheMightyBuzzard> but for public shat
[01:13:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> like say a truck driver: 8am, about to be on the road to BFE.
[01:14:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> or a service guy: driving over to austrailia to calibrate. back this afternoon.
[01:17:00] <chromas> driving from texas to oz?
[01:17:28] <Bytram> methinks they're gonna need an extension on the intake manifold
[01:17:48] <Bytram> or some pretty amazing hydroplaning.
[01:18:16] <chromas> Maybe it just shows how tough texans are
[01:18:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> just how stubborn
[01:18:56] <Bytram> I suppose they could just tow some O2 tanks behind 'em as they drive along the ocean bottom?
[01:19:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> they might at that
[01:19:33] <Bytram> on occasion, they might even consider taking a few hits off the O2 for their own use.
[01:20:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> eh, them goofy fuckers would get off somewhere and use up all their O2 trying to rope a shark
[01:20:47] <Bytram> is not entirely out of the realm of possibility.
[01:21:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> this's the same bunch that got a new air ram for something and promptly used it to launch mops and then flaming mops out into the pasture while on the clock.
[01:21:32] <Bytram> and, with that, i'm gonna call it a night. Had an exhausting day, and an *early* start at work tomorrow. If I can get my motivation going, will show up 2 hours earlier than normally scheduled.
[01:21:41] <TheMightyBuzzard> nite
[01:21:52] <cmn32480> ~gnight bytram
[01:21:54] * exec implicitly throws a gallon of MP at bytram
[01:21:56] <Bytram> have fun and/or be good
[01:22:04] <Bytram> ~gnight cmn32480
[01:22:06] * exec buttmagically violates a subset of Ethanol-fueled's left testicle with cmn32480
[01:22:13] <Bytram> ~gnight TheMightyBuzzard
[01:22:15] * exec analiciously embiggens an ExFAT volume of dogfart with TheMightyBuzzard
[01:22:24] <TheMightyBuzzard> ~gnight Bytram
[01:22:25] * exec transphobically reticulates the last slice of testicular torsion for Bytram
[01:22:32] * cmn32480 is waiting impatiently for 11pm so he can upgrade a customer's wireless from across the country
[01:22:46] <Bytram> I'm notquite surewhat the 'MP' is, but I think its prettey much a tie all around on that round.
[01:23:00] * TheMightyBuzzard is waiting impatiently for 9:00 central so he can go to bed
[01:23:08] * Bytram suggests remotely tweaking their time zone settings.
[01:23:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> think i'll go smoke n see what the kids is doing
[01:24:27] <Bytram> for the creatives in the crowd, they'd just hack one of the root time servers and call it how they want to see it. ;)
[01:24:42] <chromas> Magic Points
[01:24:47] <chromas> Or Mana Points maybe
[01:25:08] <Bytram> cmn32480: does it have to be done AT 11pm, or could you just go to bed now, and take care of it in the AM.
[01:25:20] <cmn32480> AT 11pm
[01:25:25] <cmn32480> I have a 1 hour window
[01:25:29] <Bytram> Oh. Joy.
[01:25:31] <cmn32480> get it done.. or roll it back
[01:26:03] * Bytram scavenges around for a q-236 space demodulator
[01:26:37] * Bytram finds a sign outside a disused lavatory -- something about a leopard?
[01:27:37] <Bytram> cmn32480: I'm sure you'll do just fine, but wishing you a buncha good luck, justincase.
[01:27:52] <Bytram> this time for sure
[01:27:53] <Bytram> afk
[01:28:45] <cmn32480> mucas garcias
[01:29:40] <chromas> mucous pick-n-flick
[01:31:38] * cmn32480 wonders where he downloaded Starcraft to...
[01:32:10] * chromas stores all his important things in the recycle bin
[01:32:35] * cmn32480 checks the recycle bin just to be sure

[02:50:19] * cmn32480 starts uploading files if only to get this shit overwith
[02:52:56] * cmn32480 notes that 2 VPN connections to different networks is a genuine issue when they overlap
[03:08:36] <chromas> Can you do everything by domain name?
[03:09:39] <chromas> or does it have overlapping ips?

[03:22:44] <mechanicjay> I found a systemd evangelist!
[03:24:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> mechanicjay, did you break his neck to spare him the pain?
[03:25:14] <mechanicjay> nah, I just asked if he was really Lennart and let it go.
[03:26:57] <mechanicjay> In his screed he criticized my criticism of binary logging with, "that's journald, something completely different, so therefore you're a liar." lol
[03:30:44] <chromas> herp
[03:30:57] <chromas> poutine: lennart wants your criticism
[03:31:26] <chromas> Someone should make a drop-in replacement for journald that emits xml
[03:31:47] <mechanicjay> haha
[03:32:40] <poutine> Am I supposed to know what 'lennart' is?
[03:33:01] <chromas> yes
[03:33:39] <chromas> there can be only one. his name is poettering and he owns pid1 in many distros
[03:33:41] <mechanicjay> yeah, if you can identify what a "Linus" is, you should be able to identify "Lennart" at this point.
[03:35:15] <chromas> int main(char[][] params){return 0;}
[03:35:25] <chromas> criticize me senpai
[03:35:37] * chromas tries to internet
[03:35:38] <poutine> See there's really anti-systemd fanaticists, and people who DGAF because there's a natural progression to the evolution of operating systems, like pulseaudio did with the dozens of audio driver systems, systemd will do, even with the shitty time of initial problems
[03:35:58] <mechanicjay> probably
[03:36:18] <mechanicjay> systemd sucks much less than it did 5 years ago
[03:36:36] <chromas> but it does a lot more
[03:37:01] <mechanicjay> Well, there is that.
[03:37:07] * chromas uses systemd-ircdcd
[03:37:12] <poutine> are people really that much in love with sysv ways of doing things?
[03:37:19] <chromas> no
[03:37:44] <chromas> but many don't care for the smugness of some systemd authors
[03:37:57] <mechanicjay> yeah, that's part of it.
[03:38:18] <poutine> As a developer (also known as supreme being), that shit rarely matters because you should be using docker or serverless
[03:39:02] <mechanicjay> As someone who runs infrastructure for the shit software of supreme beings to run on (yes including docker hosts), it matters to me.
[03:39:02] <chromas> wrong, sir! wrong!
[03:39:11] <chromas> you should be using systemd-nspawnd
[03:39:25] <poutine> Do you work for AWS, Google, or MS mechanicjay?
[03:40:46] <mechanicjay> nope
[03:41:15] <poutine> eek, well hope that continues going on for you
[03:41:25] <mechanicjay> me too, man. me too.
[03:42:11] <poutine> The infrastructure you can set up by API is astounding
[03:43:05] <mechanicjay> So I've heard.
