Time Nickname Message
00:29 🔗 schbirid "I will check your server network, but is necessary boot your server in rescue mode."
00:29 🔗 schbirid wtf
00:32 🔗 joepie91 schbirid: ahhh, OVH or Online.net?
00:32 🔗 schbirid online.net (oneprovider) ;)
00:32 🔗 schbirid stupid cunts
00:33 🔗 joepie91 lol
02:11 🔗 joepie91 so, EFF person goes to work at Yahoo to implement PGP stuffs, and they explicitly do not want your private keys
02:11 🔗 joepie91 this could get interesting
02:12 🔗 xmc hmmmm I saw your twitter post
02:12 🔗 xmc that sounds potentially good
02:12 🔗 joepie91 yes
02:12 🔗 joepie91 I can see a number of ways in which this could go right
02:12 🔗 joepie91 which is a bit of a rarity for Yahoo
02:13 🔗 xmc yeah, it's got me confused for sure
02:13 🔗 joepie91 honestly, I'm regaining a bit of faith in Yahoo lately
02:13 🔗 joepie91 xmc: did I tell you about the customer support thing
02:13 🔗 xmc I'm not to that point
02:13 🔗 xmc I don't think so?
02:13 🔗 joepie91 right
02:13 🔗 joepie91 basically, Flickr doesn't let you pick CC0
02:13 🔗 joepie91 for pictures
02:13 🔗 joepie91 only the other CC licenses
02:13 🔗 joepie91 so I wanted to contact support to ask about that
02:14 🔗 joepie91 and to my amazement, they actually *have* a support department
02:14 🔗 joepie91 as opposed to eg. Twitter and Google
02:14 🔗 xmc hahaha
02:14 🔗 joepie91 two messages back and forth, their response time in both cases was ~2 hours
02:14 🔗 xmc whoa
02:14 🔗 dashcloud damn
02:14 🔗 joepie91 second message amounted to "we;ve forwarded it to the dev team as a low prio ticket" in polite customerservice-y language
02:14 🔗 joepie91 I was quite surprised
02:15 🔗 joepie91 no endless FAQ mazes either
02:15 🔗 joepie91 it lets you pick a main topic, then gives you a list of questions
02:15 🔗 joepie91 "my issue is not in the list" jumps you straight to contact form
02:15 🔗 joepie91 so yeah, overall, notbad
02:15 🔗 xmc maybe they're trying to differentiate themselves that way
02:16 🔗 joepie91 if they could just stop baleeting data, perhaps there's hope
02:16 🔗 joepie91 well yes, it might explain why they're still around
02:16 🔗 joepie91 because I don't think any of the other large internet companies has an actual helpdesk
02:16 🔗 joepie91 that is, something where you can speak to a human
02:16 🔗 xmc yeah
02:16 🔗 joepie91 rather than just being sent on a wild goose hunt through pages and pages of FAQ lists and questions
02:16 🔗 joepie91 only to be told "sorry, we can't help you"
02:16 🔗 joepie91 (yes Twitter, looking at you)
02:17 🔗 joepie91 but yeah, if they stopped baleeting user data, I might actually consider liking them
02:17 🔗 joepie91 they've been cranking up their engineering lately as well, it doesn't look and behave like something from the 90s anymore
02:27 🔗 joepie91 hahahahahaha
02:27 🔗 joepie91 https://archive.org/details/milmanual-tm-31-210-improvised-munitions-handbook
02:27 🔗 joepie91 the reviews here are great
02:27 🔗 joepie91 cc xmc dashcloud
02:28 🔗 xmc hah
02:36 🔗 yipdw joepie91: Comcast totally has actual helpdesks, you speak to people named "Andy" and "George" and "Lucy"
02:37 🔗 joepie91 lolol
06:51 🔗 yipdw I need to find some easy way to calculate throughput on servers I have an account on
06:51 🔗 yipdw between the twitch rsyncs and archivebot nodes I think it'd be a fun number
07:20 🔗 joepie91 yipdw: vnstat
07:20 🔗 yipdw good point
11:12 🔗 godane i'm starting to upload Olympus manuals
11:27 🔗 godane i'm grabbing kenmore now

12:14 🔗 godane the episodes are going to godaneinbox for now so jason can put then into that collection
13:27 🔗 godane i'm having dunken donuts coffee again today :-D
16:02 🔗 schbirid "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 🔗 yipdw you have an unauthorized passenger in your vehicle. we are going to arrest her.
16:04 🔗 yipdw thank you for your cooperation.
16:07 🔗 schbirid 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 🔗 schbirid wait, that is a bad analogy
16:19 🔗 dashcloud 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 🔗 BiggieJ lol
16:23 🔗 antomatic one thousands points to that man
16:25 🔗 dashcloud https://twitter.com/timothy_yim/status/497889686874882048
16:28 🔗 aaaaaaaaa nice
16:28 🔗 antomatic maestro!
17:05 🔗 sep332 (or whatever they're called)
17:05 🔗 sep332 Wow, 1300 retweets on G+
18:41 🔗 xmc regoogs
19:09 🔗 antomatic +1s?
19:09 🔗 antomatic (that's what I'd call them anyway)
19:19 🔗 sep332 Well there's +1's and then "shares" but the word "shares" is boring
19:30 🔗 joepie91 sep332: G+ is boring :P
19:38 🔗 aaaaaaaaa That's why there are rumors they are going to close it down.
21:44 🔗 godane i found a way to grab reuters.com videos: http://uk.reuters.com/embeddedVideo?videoId=1
23:42 🔗 yipdw one nice thing about mobile broadband: doing work in a garden
23:49 🔗 aaaaaaaaa And the best part of a garden is you get more out of it than you put in?
23:51 🔗 yipdw I got some pretty badass tomatoes this year, so yes
23:54 🔗 aaaaaaaaa yipdw: I actually didn't intend that to be a question, typo.
23:55 🔗 yipdw heh
23:59 🔗 aaaaaaaaa What kind of tomatoes? Our cherry and juliets aren't doing too good this year.
