Time Nickname Message
00:11 🔗 joepie91 yay!
00:11 🔗 joepie91 first user of my email parser
00:11 🔗 joepie91 :D
00:47 🔗 Aranje So I guess today we can officially say "And now, IPV6 is DIAMONDS" with a straight face
00:51 🔗 Aranje Nope, still can't do it
01:23 🔗 chronomex http://archive.org/details/0808_Building_the_Golden_Gate_Bridge_05_01_00_00
04:22 🔗 S[h]O[r]T speaking of kickstarter
04:22 🔗 S[h]O[r]T glad to see zero day got funded
04:22 🔗 S[h]O[r]T and glad to see magnolia pictures is interested
04:22 🔗 S[h]O[r]T http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1175064326/zero-day-a-film-about-cybercrime-and-threats-to-th/posts
04:45 🔗 S[h]O[r]T also speaking of linked in password hacks
04:45 🔗 S[h]O[r]T apparently eharmony confirmed their shit was leaked today
04:46 🔗 S[h]O[r]T although if i remember right there were rumors or a db floating around months ago
04:46 🔗 S[h]O[r]T i think there were rumors about linked in months ago too
04:57 🔗 S[h]O[r]T and my plate of food falls off my desk :\
04:57 🔗 DFJustin should have made a backup
05:11 🔗 underscor lol
05:56 🔗 arrith everything is leaking everywhere, even food
07:00 🔗 Coderjoe you know... a company named Depends makes something for that...
07:08 🔗 SmileyG so i accidently did 20gb last night :D
07:09 🔗 SmileyG I suppose i should go change my linkedIn password followed by emailing all staff.
07:10 🔗 arrith hmm linkedin really should autochange all the passwords
07:10 🔗 arrith but that's probably prudent
07:12 🔗 Coderjoe they should also send out an email to all users, since a not insignificant number of them likely use the same password on multiple sites
07:12 🔗 Coderjoe (like Mitt Romney: same password on hotmail and dropbox)
07:44 🔗 ersi ohhh fuck, forgot to pledge carmageddon
07:45 🔗 SmileyG linkedIn seem happy enough to spam me when I don't want it
07:46 🔗 ersi so I guess.. linkedin really lives up to it's name.. Linking in your passwords
08:01 🔗 SmileyG ;)
15:53 🔗 SmileyG Schbirid: fixed that raid yet?
15:54 🔗 Schbirid i was just going to say, i am once again waiting for a reboot :D
15:54 🔗 Schbirid i mean, even if it does fsck, it should be quite since there are no files on it
15:54 🔗 Schbirid i stopped the /dev/md2
15:54 🔗 Schbirid --zero-superblock'd its partitions
15:55 🔗 Schbirid removed the md2 from the mdadm config
15:55 🔗 SmileyG yeah hmmm
15:55 🔗 Schbirid maybe i just should not reboot
15:55 🔗 SmileyG you've done what I did.
15:55 🔗 SmileyG strange thing is, even after removing every trace of md2
15:55 🔗 SmileyG when it boots it STILL tells me
15:55 🔗 SmileyG and I can't figure out wtf is pulling it in.
15:55 🔗 SmileyG (md2 doesn't exist anymore tho, it was my swap)
15:56 🔗 Schbirid i also used cfdisk to partition the partitions anew
15:56 🔗 Schbirid ovh too?
15:56 🔗 Schbirid still tells you what?
15:56 🔗 SmileyG on boot up
15:56 🔗 SmileyG ovh?
15:56 🔗 SmileyG wtf is ovh?
15:56 🔗 Schbirid hoster
15:56 🔗 SmileyG Oh, no
15:56 🔗 SmileyG at home, gentoo system... blah blah
15:56 🔗 Schbirid heh
15:56 🔗 SmileyG I need to look at it again because I don't know wtf its trying to mount
15:57 🔗 SmileyG basically grub 0.98 will automount mdadm raid partitions
15:57 🔗 SmileyG *normally*
15:57 🔗 SmileyG well, something is causing it to "notice" my ex-md2 drives
15:57 🔗 SmileyG and then goes "Oh, I don't know where md2 is anymore, igoring".
15:57 🔗 SmileyG So it doesn't error, but its strange.
15:57 🔗 SmileyG the drives themselves had /dev/zero dd'ed over them
15:57 🔗 SmileyG i removed it from /etc/mdadm.conf
15:58 🔗 SmileyG the type has been changed back to swap (42?)
15:58 🔗 SmileyG Maybe I have something in grub.conf which tells it about them, I can't remember :D
15:59 🔗 Schbirid i shall try http://help.ovh.co.uk/HardRaidLsi i guess
15:59 🔗 SmileyG kernel /boot/kernel-new root=/dev/md3
15:59 🔗 SmileyG No, drat.
15:59 🔗 SmileyG LSI?
15:59 🔗 SmileyG RUN AWAY SCREAMING.
15:59 🔗 SmileyG If you have mdadm, its not LSi.
15:59 🔗 Schbirid oh ok
15:59 🔗 SmileyG Thats hardware raid.
15:59 🔗 Schbirid i thought LSI was just some tool
16:00 🔗 SmileyG that'd provide a "single" hdd to your linux instance.
16:00 🔗 SmileyG Nah, LSi are a manufacturer of.... stuff
16:00 🔗 SmileyG Including dedicated raid cards
16:00 🔗 SmileyG What, exactly is the problem?
16:00 🔗 SmileyG I'm gonna go away for a few min while you tell me ;)
16:00 🔗 Schbirid the problem is that ovh installs the system with mdadm and a raid1 (halfing the space). i dont care about redundancy and want the full space instead
16:02 🔗 Schbirid maybe i can just fail and remove one disk
16:09 🔗 Schbirid i'll try that
16:37 🔗 Schbirid /dev/sdb2 965029508 14396732 902333052 2% /home
16:37 🔗 Schbirid /dev/md2 965501508 7321912 909879876 1% /home/otherdisk
16:37 🔗 Schbirid :B
16:41 🔗 Schbirid i just must not reboot
16:44 🔗 Schbirid that was a dumb mountpoint
16:58 🔗 Schbirid sucks that i cannot get routed to it though
17:26 🔗 joepie91 Schbirid
17:27 🔗 Schbirid yo
17:27 🔗 joepie91 if you send a support request to OVH they can remove the RAID setup afaik
17:27 🔗 joepie91 at least for hardware raid
17:27 🔗 Schbirid it's software raid
17:27 🔗 joepie91 just takes a while
17:27 🔗 joepie91 ah, ok
17:27 🔗 Schbirid and seems to work fine now
17:27 🔗 joepie91 then you can get rid of it yourself, no?
17:27 🔗 joepie91 afaik
17:27 🔗 Schbirid reinstalling takes 30 minutes so all is good
17:27 🔗 Schbirid i should but failed :)
17:27 🔗 joepie91 ah
17:27 🔗 joepie91 strange
17:28 🔗 joepie91 on that note, if you ever plan to get an OVH server with hardware RAID (not sure if they even offer that anymore...?), prepare for at least a weeks wait before they remove it
17:28 🔗 Schbirid heh
17:28 🔗 joepie91 if it's anything like what it used to be
17:28 🔗 joepie91 they won't charge you for it or anything though
17:28 🔗 Schbirid nah, i use a kimsufi c-250g for some website
17:29 🔗 Schbirid the one i talk about here is a free bhs beta server
17:30 🔗 joepie91 ohh
17:30 🔗 joepie91 when is the next giveaway?
17:31 🔗 Schbirid daily
17:31 🔗 joepie91 :P
17:31 🔗 joepie91 yes, but as in time
17:32 🔗 Schbirid not announced yet, ~12 hours i guess
17:52 🔗 Schbirid aww, shite
17:53 🔗 Schbirid don't detach from screen after you updated eg to screen-git
17:53 🔗 SmileyG broked it?
17:53 🔗 SmileyG hmmm
17:53 🔗 SmileyG you kinda need to kil the screen session i guess :S
17:54 🔗 Schbirid nah, it still runs somehow but it dropped all the process to the "root of the tree" or how shall i say it
17:54 🔗 Schbirid oh goody i have another open window with screen still attached
17:54 🔗 Schbirid wicked
17:54 🔗 SmileyG phew:D
17:54 🔗 Schbirid cant reattach though
17:55 🔗 Schbirid and my hour connection is killed every 24 hours
17:55 🔗 Schbirid horu = home
17:55 🔗 SmileyG o_O
17:55 🔗 SmileyG can you start a screen session?
17:55 🔗 SmileyG oh wait, can't attach, doh
17:56 🔗 Schbirid guess i will sit here and ctrl-c stuff at appropiate times so i can restart/resume them in a new screen
17:58 🔗 Schbirid real ,/-m*.220s
17:58 🔗 Schbirid wow, how did i make time do this:
17:58 🔗 Schbirid sys 3m17.412s
17:58 🔗 Schbirid user 0m32.098s
18:10 🔗 SmileyG o_O
18:10 🔗 SmileyG you broke time o_O
18:11 🔗 chronomex haha
18:14 🔗 SmileyG so thats what happens at the end of the universe.
18:15 🔗 SmileyG thanks for working that out for us
18:15 🔗 SmileyG we were a bit owrried there.
18:15 🔗 Schbirid you'll be orificed alright
18:28 🔗 winr4r if anyone's around, other than SketchCow, i'd like an opinion on whether i am being scammed
18:28 🔗 winr4r or whether i am just too cautious
18:29 🔗 Schbirid shout
18:29 🔗 winr4r i have a nikon D2H, it died just after 400,000 shutter actuations, and on my page about it i said "when it dies, i'll probably get a nikon D1 just for kicks"
18:30 🔗 winr4r so i got an email a few weeks later
18:30 🔗 winr4r http://pastebin.com/QLAihUsD
18:30 🔗 winr4r there's the whole thread
18:31 🔗 Schbirid the language sure feels fishy
18:31 🔗 winr4r yes, that bothers me
18:32 🔗 winr4r the fact that his from-name on his email is "sam lee" and he calls himself "lee" also makes me nervous, because that might imply someone who either 1) is not in the US and doesn't understand name precedence in western cultures 2) is not really in the US
18:35 🔗 winr4r correction on 1): is an immigrant to the US
18:36 🔗 winr4r on the other hand, reeeeeeaaally want a D1 to play with
18:36 🔗 winr4r and works a lot better than a camera with an exploded shutter
18:37 🔗 yipdw I think you're being scammed
18:37 🔗 yipdw (who the hell uses a DSLR with a broken shutter)
18:37 🔗 winr4r yipdw: to be clear, the "exploded shutter" means mine, and for that reason i don't use it
18:37 🔗 yipdw right
18:37 🔗 yipdw but "sam lee" says that it's okay so long as "the other functions are fine:
18:37 🔗 yipdw "
18:38 🔗 yipdw which, to me, seems bizarre
18:38 🔗 winr4r yipdw: in the first email, it looks like he needs it for parts
18:38 🔗 yipdw does he have a track record of repairing DSLRs?
18:38 🔗 yipdw they're not that amenable to part-swapping
18:39 🔗 winr4r never heard of him before or after now, and he doesn't seem to have a facebook account, and googling his email brings up nothing
18:39 🔗 winr4r "However, it is hard to find used one in the market." <- also bothers me
18:39 🔗 yipdw yeah, see if you can get some verifible credentials out of him
18:39 🔗 winr4r because after nine years of being hammered by photojournalists there should be loooots
18:40 🔗 yipdw if not I'd say kill the sale
18:40 🔗 winr4r yipdw: unfortunately, i am not in the US
18:40 🔗 winr4r if i got a home address out of him and i *was* in the US, this would be easy
18:40 🔗 yipdw there's people here in the US, we can verify some stuff :P
18:41 🔗 winr4r send it, and if he doesn't send me a D1, i'd drive a truck through his house
18:41 🔗 SmileyG or send SketchCow
18:41 🔗 SmileyG if he turned up in his tophat i'd be like (if i wasn't english) ZOMFG THE ENGLISH ARE INVADING!
18:41 🔗 winr4r JESUS CHRIST A TIME TRAVELLER
18:42 🔗 primus_ He's trying to scam you 100%, just look at the language he uses
18:42 🔗 winr4r primus_: the grammar makes you nervous too?
18:42 🔗 SmileyG lol
18:43 🔗 SmileyG whats he got ot loose?
18:43 🔗 primus_ the expressions he uses: If you still have it, love to have it of course I don't mind to give some privilege for that.
18:43 🔗 winr4r primus_: yes
18:43 🔗 SmileyG possibly a non working OLD D1
18:43 🔗 SmileyG What do you have to loose
18:43 🔗 SmileyG a possibly fixable D2.
18:43 🔗 winr4r SmileyG: assuming the D1 actually exists
18:43 🔗 winr4r rather than him being some scammer trying to get some free spare parts
18:44 🔗 SmileyG ok
18:44 🔗 SmileyG how much would you value a D1 with no battery worth?
18:44 🔗 winr4r SmileyG: about £50, which is to say, about the same value as my D2H with an exploded shutter
18:44 🔗 yipdw at this point, pretty close to dick
18:45 🔗 primus_ i'd also check mail headers, he says he's in US
18:45 🔗 SmileyG £50? hmmm
18:45 🔗 SmileyG I personally wouldn't do it.
18:45 🔗 winr4r primus_: can't check mail headers, he's using gmail
18:45 🔗 primus_ :-(
18:46 🔗 winr4r the D2H body is probably £200 worth if it worked, but then, having nikon repair it would cost about that much
18:46 🔗 DFJustin gmail still records the user's ip in the header
18:46 🔗 chronomex winr4r: hah, I am in Seattle
18:46 🔗 yipdw chronomex, PI
18:47 🔗 winr4r chronomex: i'm also not going to ask you to drive a truck through someone's house
18:47 🔗 chronomex I don't drive anyway
18:47 🔗 yipdw you could ask him to check the guy out
18:47 🔗 chronomex I could be intermediary if you want
18:47 🔗 chronomex where are you located?
18:47 🔗 winr4r chronomex: i'm in the UK
18:48 🔗 chronomex aye
18:48 🔗 winr4r chronomex: read the thread and tell me what you think
18:48 🔗 chronomex bbialw shower
18:49 🔗 yipdw these abbreviations are getting more complicated
18:49 🔗 yipdw next up: bbi10m30s
18:50 🔗 winr4r heh
18:50 🔗 winr4r i'm glad i'm not the only person who is nervous about this
18:51 🔗 primus_ bbabliidgttpagwwahb - be back a bit later if i don't go to the pub and get wasted with a hot blonde ... we could use that ;-)
18:54 🔗 winr4r yes, happens to all of us all the time
18:54 🔗 yipdw it's a chronic problem for me
18:55 🔗 yipdw unfortunately I am often too drunk to type bbabliidgttpagwwahb so the utility of such an abbreviation is a bit compromised
18:55 🔗 winr4r yipdw gets all the chicks
18:55 🔗 primus_ :-)
18:55 🔗 yipdw usually it comes out as bbbuaeydkshjfhas
18:55 🔗 yipdw or something
18:55 🔗 winr4r well, not all of them
18:55 🔗 winr4r the rest are queueing up for him
18:56 🔗 yipdw sometimes the hot blonde guys too
18:56 🔗 yipdw I mean
18:56 🔗 yipdw uyes
18:58 🔗 primus_ I'm impressed how politicians on talk shows seem to be capable of full duplex communication... 2+ people talking at the same time
19:00 🔗 yipdw I guess you don't need ACKs for communication
19:01 🔗 primus_ ;-)
19:01 🔗 yipdw I do wonder what the SNR of that talk show is, though
19:01 🔗 primus_ Only culture our politicians have is bacteria ... so ... terrible
19:05 🔗 chronomex winr4r: it seems sketchy but I've had sketchy internet hookups work out before
19:05 🔗 chronomex anyway, if you want, I can meet the guy and see whether he's got a camera
19:05 🔗 chronomex then you can send it my way and I can do the trade
19:05 🔗 * chronomex sketchy internet escrow
19:06 🔗 winr4r chronomex: well i'd trust you, but that's a hell of a burden to put on anyone
19:06 🔗 chronomex freely offered, as long as it's not too far out of my way
19:06 🔗 chronomex see if you can get an address out of the guy
19:07 🔗 chronomex public places preferred, e.g. starbux
19:07 🔗 SmileyG erm
19:07 🔗 winr4r chronomex: okay i will, thank you
19:07 🔗 SmileyG do you not know that murders hang out in internet cafes? so be careful ;)
19:08 🔗 SmileyG murders? groups of crows? /me slaps self
19:08 🔗 SmileyG murderers*
19:08 🔗 winr4r chronomex: i'll reimburse you for your travel expenses, obviously
19:08 🔗 SmileyG hmmm
19:08 🔗 SmileyG winr4r: shoudl plan a trip to the states.
19:08 🔗 SmileyG tour of the archivers!
19:08 🔗 SmileyG :D
19:08 🔗 winr4r SmileyG: i'd really, really love to
19:09 🔗 SmileyG I'll deliver 46 boxes to SketchCow
19:09 🔗 SmileyG winr4r: I once did one in brum here in uK
19:09 🔗 SmileyG that was awesome
19:09 🔗 SmileyG loads of people from teh UK who used to hang out in planetarion chatroom before they got brought by jolt.
19:09 🔗 winr4r SmileyG: but 1) i live on very little money by choice 2) i was told by the DHS that i would not get back into the US after my last visit
19:10 🔗 SmileyG winr4r: 1. I can understand, 2..... what? :D
19:10 🔗 SmileyG 3. Lets go to canada and they can come up and visit us? :D
19:10 🔗 winr4r SmileyG: long-ass story, but i was held up for nearly two hours, missed a second flight etc
19:10 🔗 SmileyG ew.
19:11 🔗 SmileyG Are you cryptocat (this will go woosh unless you read the news today)
19:11 🔗 winr4r i'm not, and yes, it did
19:11 🔗 SmileyG tbh hes an idiot for not expecting it
19:11 🔗 chronomex winr4r: some UK money should be sufficient.
19:11 🔗 SmileyG (i've not read everything)
19:12 🔗 winr4r chronomex: paypal?
19:12 🔗 winr4r we'll see how this goes
19:12 🔗 chronomex preferably a selection of coins
19:12 🔗 chronomex I have a bus pass, local travel costs me $0
19:12 🔗 winr4r haha, awesome
19:12 🔗 SmileyG seriously WTF is my cat doing o_O
19:12 🔗 SmileyG Fake sockington is currently looking down the back of my computer desk
19:13 🔗 chronomex be vewwy vewwy qwiet

19:13 🔗 chronomex I'm hunting wuntime ewwows
19:15 🔗 SmileyG http://www.flickr.com/photos/djsmiley2k/7349167112/in/photostream
19:15 🔗 SmileyG getting ready to pounce on my noodles
19:16 🔗 winr4r haha awww
19:16 🔗 winr4r such a pretty cat
19:17 🔗 SmileyG hehe and he knows it ¬_¬
19:17 🔗 SmileyG He talks too
19:19 🔗 winr4r does he have a twitter account?
19:23 🔗 SmileyG Nah
19:23 🔗 SmileyG I coudl do one for him, but I feel it'd just be copying Socks?
19:23 🔗 SmileyG He does have a facebook page....
19:23 🔗 SmileyG dont ever do that, you get thousands of friend requests!
19:23 🔗 SmileyG i no idea how people find him ¬_¬
19:24 🔗 winr4r i will add your cat on facebook
19:24 🔗 SmileyG Apollo Prince.

19:25 🔗 SmileyG Does that work?
19:25 🔗 winr4r there we go
21:14 🔗 SketchCow ~
21:22 🔗 ersi ~/.porn
21:27 🔗 Aranje cd ~/Actual\ Porn/ && mplayer favoritevid.mkv
21:35 🔗 SketchCow cd ~/.sysfiles/etc/docs/xlfr/.useradd/zzzz(control-d)(control-d)/.../eye-watering-porn/
21:37 🔗 SketchCow http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=porn%20buddy
21:38 🔗 winr4r hi guys
21:38 🔗 SketchCow HIII
21:39 🔗 winr4r SketchCow: if you have time to scroll up, can you tell me if i am being scammed?
21:49 🔗 winr4r your opinion would matter a lot, just so i can be sure
21:51 🔗 SketchCow I took a whole 10 second look at it
21:52 🔗 SketchCow It's fucking commodity camera equipment - why would you waste time doing some sketchy-ass trade across international lines with some illiterate mook in "seattle"?
21:52 🔗 SketchCow Get a new camera
21:52 🔗 SketchCow Go to Flickr, see what's the most popular camera people are using now
21:53 🔗 SketchCow http://www.flickr.com/cameras/brands/?sort=popular
21:53 🔗 SketchCow Find the cheapest one that falls under what you'll pay
21:53 🔗 winr4r SketchCow: i'd really, really love to be able to afford another 8fps camera
21:54 🔗 SketchCow I have no idea what your money situation is
21:54 🔗 SketchCow What is 8fps in this context
21:54 🔗 winr4r 8 frames per second
21:55 🔗 Aranje seems slow for video
21:55 🔗 winr4r Aranje: this is a still camera
21:55 🔗 Aranje I'd be putting quotes around camera if it shoots that quickly
21:55 🔗 Aranje and maybe dollar signs, but that may matter less to you :P
21:56 🔗 winr4r Aranje: http://lewiscollard.com/cameras/nikon-d2h/d2hshutter.mp3
21:56 🔗 winr4r sounds a bit like that
21:56 🔗 Aranje fuuuu
21:56 🔗 Aranje Sounds like autopilot for cameras lol
21:57 🔗 winr4r jason is probably right though
21:57 🔗 SketchCow http://snapsort.com/explore/best-digital-cameras/8.0-continuous-fps-24-months-recent
21:58 🔗 winr4r SketchCow: they're cheating on the FPS there
21:58 🔗 SketchCow Maybe.
21:59 🔗 SketchCow Anyway, camera nerd out all you want, but not by getting cross-country rimjobs with sketchy nobodies in the US
21:59 🔗 SketchCow It's commodity hardware
21:59 🔗 SketchCow I use that term now.
21:59 🔗 SketchCow A lot.
21:59 🔗 winr4r "rimjobs"?
21:59 🔗 SketchCow Also, watch this:
21:59 🔗 SketchCow http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4NCnH7RPZY
21:59 🔗 winr4r you've been busy!
22:00 🔗 SketchCow I mean that this person is obviously, if not a scammer, an idiot and a person who will be stunned by such new terms as "customs", "escrow" or "declared value"
22:01 🔗 winr4r this is the only video i need to watch
22:01 🔗 SketchCow I agree
22:01 🔗 SketchCow aaaarnold schwartzeneeeger
22:02 🔗 winr4r yes
22:06 🔗 winr4r so, i should just filter out his email?
22:09 🔗 SketchCow Yes
22:11 🔗 winr4r done
22:11 🔗 winr4r thanks, guys
22:12 🔗 winr4r http://lewiscollard.com/cameras/nikon-d2h/
