[00:16:17] <MrPlow> https://www.ecc.edu - "We would like to use cookies to store information on your computer, to improve our website. One of the cookies we use is essential for parts of the site to operate ..."
[00:16:26] <Bytram> lol
[00:16:30] <Bytram> #g Wikipedia ECC
[00:16:31] <MrPlow> https://en.wikipedia.org - "ECC may refer to: Contents. 1 Education; 2 Government and politics; 3 Music; 4 Religion; 5 Sports; 6 Science and technology; 7 Transport; 8 Other uses; 9 See ..."
[00:16:42] <Bytram> #g Wikipedia ECC error correcting
[00:16:43] <MrPlow> https://en.wikipedia.org - "Error-correcting code memory (ECC memory) is a type of computer data storage that can detect and correct the most common kinds of internal data corruption."
[00:19:19] <RandomFactor__> Now that's funny
[00:24:41] <Bytram> funny is reading an article by a guy who is explaining why ECC is *not* necessary with ZFS filesystems... and refers to it as "Error Correcting Checksums"
[00:25:14] * Bytram investigated and wrote ECC routines... in 1981.
[00:25:59] <chromas> If he had ECC he would've remembered it correcting

[00:26:23] <upstart> ^ 0339% of all existing Counter-Strike 1.6 game servers online are malicious

[00:27:03] <upstart> ^ 03Will ZFS and non-ECC RAM kill your data? – JRS Systems: the blog
[00:27:34] <Bytram> ^^^ "The ECC stands for Error Correcting Checksum."
[00:27:39] <chromas> Would it be any worse than another FS without ECC?
[00:28:39] <Bytram> I have no first-hand experience, but my take is that ZFS is a *big* win if you care about your data.
[00:28:45] <Bytram> bit rot IS a thing.

[00:35:33] <Bytram> ahhh, got it.
[00:36:59] <RandomFactor__> if you ever aren't sure, in my case, i'm probably going for a joke
[00:39:04] <Bytram> you're kidding, right?
[01:02:23] * TheMightyBuzzard preserves his bits with potassium sorbate
[01:09:22] <Bytram> so, I found an old DVD player I had misplaced
[01:09:44] <Bytram> hooked it up to my brandy new UHD TV
[01:09:57] <Bytram> and it shows two pictures, side by side
[01:10:34] <Bytram> looks like the de-interlacing to take it from interlaced to progressive output does not work so well.
[01:10:39] <Bytram> sad face.
[01:11:20] <Bytram> guess I'll have to stick with the one in the lappy, for now.
[01:11:48] <Bytram> and, with that, it's time for me to hit the hay.
[01:12:08] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: thanks again for the certs walkthough this morning!
[01:12:25] <Bytram> and, for all the info you posted to the meta story about it.
[01:13:07] <Bytram> have a great night everyone!

[01:16:23] <TheMightyBuzzard> passable but the weekend will be much nicer. less wind stirring up the water.

[04:41:52] <chromas> It's not in the title tag, it's an embedded svg, which has its own title tag and comes before the page's

[08:24:40] <FatPhil> Bytram: the reason facebook went down was apparently a "server configuration outage". So apparently their httpd.conf turned itself off unexpectedly.
[09:33:38] <boru> That headline about the neutrons is a bit alarmist, imho.
[09:34:48] <boru> I think the source article was as well, and mailed the author/site owner about it the other day. They're just trying to bolster funds for the kids' weather balloons.

[14:21:49] <boru> Import taxes are a very annoying thing, I must say.
[14:22:05] <boru> Especially on things like alcohol and tobacco.
[14:22:34] <boru> Can any of you Americans comment on shipping things as 'gifts' to avoid taxation on such things?

[14:40:36] <FatPhil> boru: many carriers won't touch alcohol at all, period.
[14:41:06] <FatPhil> possibly because there are border-crossing (even state borders) tax implications they simply don't want to get involved in.
[14:41:32] <FatPhil> The distribution laws are unbelievably baroque over there.
[14:42:32] <FatPhil> Some US tech kit sites "can't" ship to Estonia because it's in Russia, apparently. :-/
[14:43:54] <FatPhil> a friend did manage to get a box of bourbon bottles shipped from the US to Finland, but then the Finns got wise, and charged him one hand and one testicle in sin taxes upon entry.
