[00:23:43] <Ethanol-fueled> I've run into a real problem, buddies.
[00:24:02] <Ethanol-fueled> Perhaps you can solve it.
[00:24:24] <Ethanol-fueled> My best friend is gay and has the hots for me.
[00:24:55] <Ethanol-fueled> I am not gay and don't reciprocate.

[12:00:24] * exec derisively snatches a ramdisk of peaches from Bytram
[12:00:38] <Bytram> grommetts AND peaches? You win
[12:00:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> no peaches for you
[12:00:47] <Bytram> lol
[12:01:02] <Bytram> how ya be? How heavy is the rain?
[12:01:47] * Bytram updates beg-o-meter
[12:02:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> not especially heavy but damned persistent
[12:02:38] <Bytram> nod nod
[12:02:50] <Bytram> better that than snow, I suppose?
[12:03:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> not for digging purposes but generally, yeah
[12:03:55] <Bytram> you'd rather be trying to dig through frozen dirt?
[12:05:13] <Bytram> chatted with a friend in the water dept a few years back. when there's a water main break 'cause of frozen pipes, trying to break through frozen dirt is like trying to break through solid rock
[12:05:41] <Bytram> backhoe-mounted jackhammer barely touches it
[12:06:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> freeze line in TN can be passed with a regular shovel and two scoops.
[12:06:17] <Bytram> amazed *me* to hear that.
[12:06:22] <Bytram> lol
[12:06:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> current temp is 57F
[12:06:44] <Bytram> we had it go 4 feet down that winter
[12:06:49] <TheMightyBuzzard> har
[12:06:53] <Bytram> atm its 16F here
[12:08:03] <Bytram> wind is only ~5mph but mostly sunny and quite high barometer ~30.50"
[12:10:07] <Bytram> that was why the pipes froze. freeze line went down lower than planned for. was a long and cold winter for those guys. temps were regularly sub-zero and *then* add in the wind chill. Brrrrr!
[12:10:25] <TheMightyBuzzard> starting on a new gentoo dev vm today. no idea on when it'll be done though cause of other commitments.
[12:10:45] <Bytram> Understood. much obliged!
[12:11:10] <Bytram> so, if calculate linux is that good, why are you using gentoo? More control?
[12:12:29] <Bytram> fwiw, tomorrow we are due for ~3 inches of snow ending around noonish followed by well over a half inch of rain
[12:12:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> on servers? cause the crankypants admins don't want to use a derivative distro, even if it does have a good following and very few differences.
[12:12:51] <TheMightyBuzzard> on my home stuff i am using it
[12:13:07] <Bytram> and then the winds are due to climb up to 20mph with gusts to 30-35 mph
[12:13:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> fun
[12:13:24] <Bytram> ahhhhh, makes sense
[12:13:55] <Bytram> somehow, words other that 'fun' come to mind. ;)
[12:14:11] <TheMightyBuzzard> on the vm, cause i don't want folks having to learn two distros, no matter how similar.
[12:14:18] <Bytram> I'll be working that day, too. joy joy joy.'
[12:14:41] <TheMightyBuzzard> well you'll be inside at least then
[12:14:58] <Bytram> yes, I am grateful for that!
[12:15:28] * Bytram starts preparing for a day when all the customers will be squeaking up on him. =)
[12:16:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> enjoy. ima fight annoying bits of installing rehash and gentoo that i forgot about
[12:18:39] <Bytram> document 'em for future reference... and sanity.
[12:18:55] <Bytram> time to get me ready for work...

[17:51:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> AzumaHazuki, you and i can. i doubt you'll convince the maintainers though any more than you'd convince poettering that systemd is a bad idea.
[17:57:17] <AzumaHazuki> oh well. thankfully Qt and KDE seem to have mostly gotten their act together
[17:57:40] <AzumaHazuki> and I'm moving more and more toward shell-based programs like Moc, Irssi, and so on
[18:04:06] <FatPhil> most of my systems are headless, and everything I do on them is over SSH, so console-based programs are my default.
[18:05:45] <AzumaHazuki> from the shell to the gui back to the shell :) it's almost zen
[18:05:52] <AzumaHazuki> not zenburn or zenwalk, just zen
[18:08:21] <FatPhil> My WM is no more functional than the ones I first used back in the 80s (GEM, SunOS), and I like it that way.
[18:09:00] <FatPhil> g/f's gradually getting used to it too - DWM - as it's on our shared laptop.
[18:09:32] <FatPhil> she's more console-based than I am. I think lynx or w3m is her default browser.
[18:11:41] <TheMightyBuzzard> the majority of my shat still uses gtk2. i'll make exceptions for gui programs that really excel at their jobs but they have to be the best by a long shot.
[18:12:59] <TheMightyBuzzard> i don't have any technical objections to qt but i have boatloads of aesthetic objections to it. gtk3 i have both though.
