[00:29] "I will check your server network, but is necessary boot your server in rescue mode." [00:29] wtf [00:32] schbirid: ahhh, OVH or Online.net? [00:32] online.net (oneprovider) ;) [00:32] stupid cunts [00:33] lol [02:11] so, EFF person goes to work at Yahoo to implement PGP stuffs, and they explicitly do not want your private keys [02:11] this could get interesting [02:12] hmmmm I saw your twitter post [02:12] that sounds potentially good [02:12] yes [02:12] I can see a number of ways in which this could go right [02:12] which is a bit of a rarity for Yahoo [02:13] yeah, it's got me confused for sure [02:13] honestly, I'm regaining a bit of faith in Yahoo lately [02:13] xmc: did I tell you about the customer support thing [02:13] I'm not to that point [02:13] I don't think so? [02:13] right [02:13] basically, Flickr doesn't let you pick CC0 [02:13] for pictures [02:13] only the other CC licenses [02:13] so I wanted to contact support to ask about that [02:14] and to my amazement, they actually *have* a support department [02:14] as opposed to eg. Twitter and Google [02:14] hahaha [02:14] two messages back and forth, their response time in both cases was ~2 hours [02:14] whoa [02:14] damn [02:14] second message amounted to "we;ve forwarded it to the dev team as a low prio ticket" in polite customerservice-y language [02:14] I was quite surprised [02:15] no endless FAQ mazes either [02:15] it lets you pick a main topic, then gives you a list of questions [02:15] "my issue is not in the list" jumps you straight to contact form [02:15] so yeah, overall, notbad [02:15] maybe they're trying to differentiate themselves that way [02:16] if they could just stop baleeting data, perhaps there's hope [02:16] well yes, it might explain why they're still around [02:16] because I don't think any of the other large internet companies has an actual helpdesk [02:16] that is, something where you can speak to a human [02:16] yeah [02:16] rather than just being sent on a wild goose hunt through pages and pages of FAQ lists and questions [02:16] only to be told "sorry, we can't help you" [02:16] (yes Twitter, looking at you) [02:17] but yeah, if they stopped baleeting user data, I might actually consider liking them [02:17] they've been cranking up their engineering lately as well, it doesn't look and behave like something from the 90s anymore [02:27] hahahahahaha [02:27] https://archive.org/details/milmanual-tm-31-210-improvised-munitions-handbook [02:27] the reviews here are great [02:27] cc xmc dashcloud [02:28] hah [02:36] joepie91: Comcast totally has actual helpdesks, you speak to people named "Andy" and "George" and "Lucy" [02:37] lolol [06:51] I need to find some easy way to calculate throughput on servers I have an account on [06:51] between the twitch rsyncs and archivebot nodes I think it'd be a fun number [07:20] yipdw: vnstat [07:20] good point [11:12] i'm starting to upload Olympus manuals [11:27] i'm grabbing kenmore now [12:13] i'm uploading the ben heck show collection [12:14] the episodes are going to godaneinbox for now so jason can put then into that collection [13:27] i'm having dunken donuts coffee again today :-D [16:02] "The rescue mode is a controlled environment, anything other is not. I'm afraid that in order to test the network properly, we need you to use the rescue mode. Thank you for your cooperation. " [16:04] you have an unauthorized passenger in your vehicle. we are going to arrest her. [16:04] thank you for your cooperation. [16:07] Before we can test if this coffee tastes rotten, we have to reset the pot to a controlled state. Please empty it and refill fresh coffee [16:07] wait, that is a bad analogy [16:19] so, I just saw a post where a telemarketer called an IT guy, and the IT guy convinced the telemarketer that he was the IT support, and got them to factory reset their desk phone [16:20] lol [16:23] one thousands points to that man [16:25] https://twitter.com/timothy_yim/status/497889686874882048 [16:28] nice [16:28] maestro! [17:05] (or whatever they're called) [17:05] Wow, 1300 retweets on G+ [18:41] regoogs [19:09] +1s? [19:09] (that's what I'd call them anyway) [19:19] Well there's +1's and then "shares" but the word "shares" is boring [19:30] sep332: G+ is boring :P [19:38] That's why there are rumors they are going to close it down. [21:44] i found a way to grab reuters.com videos: http://uk.reuters.com/embeddedVideo?videoId=1 [23:42] one nice thing about mobile broadband: doing work in a garden [23:49] And the best part of a garden is you get more out of it than you put in? [23:51] I got some pretty badass tomatoes this year, so yes [23:54] yipdw: I actually didn't intend that to be a question, typo. [23:55] heh [23:59] What kind of tomatoes? Our cherry and juliets aren't doing too good this year.
