00:32 πŸ”— omf_ Costco is having a sale on 4tb Seagate drives for $149 each
00:33 πŸ”— omf_ cheaper than Microcenter and newegg. The sale ends on the 7th, you can only buy 5 total
01:21 πŸ”— Ravenloft http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T97Om33ijh4
01:36 πŸ”— Ravenloft http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=T97Om33ijh4#t=333s <-- remembered of SketchCow at this point
02:06 πŸ”— joepie91 http://cryto.net/~joepie91/hacker.html
02:10 πŸ”— omf_ Do you get asked that a lot?
02:26 πŸ”— omf_ modern gamers cannot beat super mario brothers 1 http://www.p4rgaming.com/majority-of-gamers-today-cant-finish-level-1-in-super-mario-bros/
02:27 πŸ”— omf_ They should play the Japanese Mario 2
02:27 πŸ”— omf_ that will fucking destroy their world perception
02:29 πŸ”— joepie91 :(
02:29 πŸ”— joepie91 omf_: you have no idea
02:29 πŸ”— joepie91 the lulzsec stuff has stopped mostly by now
02:29 πŸ”— joepie91 I've been reasonably successful at making people aware that I'm not a LulzSec member
02:29 πŸ”— joepie91 but it does come by now and then
02:30 πŸ”— omf_ people are stupid
02:30 πŸ”— joepie91 as a general rule of thumb, I agree
02:31 πŸ”— joepie91 I do have to say that people seem to be becoming less stupid lately
02:31 πŸ”— joepie91 slowly, but eventually
02:32 πŸ”— omf_ I am always reminded of this https://westernrifleshooters.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/screen-shot-2013-01-02-at-8-43-52-am.png
02:33 πŸ”— joepie91 heh, yes
02:34 πŸ”— omf_ The crazier someone labels you the more you are getting something right
02:38 πŸ”— godane so i can tell you that 2012 of hackaday.com is over 1gb
02:38 πŸ”— godane most don't go past 200mb for a year
02:39 πŸ”— godane its mostly cause +900MB is of images
02:40 πŸ”— joepie91 omf_: hah
04:18 πŸ”— godane i have up to 2013-01 of hackaday
04:31 πŸ”— SketchCow Excellent
06:08 πŸ”— godane i'm down getting june of 2013
06:08 πŸ”— godane that will get us mostly up to day
06:23 πŸ”— godane i'm pushing hackaday.com now
09:38 πŸ”— godane SketchCow: glad to you hear that you got it
09:39 πŸ”— godane i may buy that 37 maximum pc cd set
09:52 πŸ”— BlueMax he got the 200 something disks?
09:52 πŸ”— BlueMax awesome
09:56 πŸ”— godane it was 342+ disks by the desc
09:57 πŸ”— godane also hackaday dumps are mostly uploaded now
10:03 πŸ”— godane so i'm getting tons of xml data on gbtv/theblaze
10:05 πŸ”— godane i found out that i can grab the stuff without waiting
10:05 πŸ”— godane problem was that i could just do a -i index.txt for the urls
10:06 πŸ”— godane doing a 'for loop' of that index fixed that problem
12:34 πŸ”— Smiley free stuff -> http://www.mindcandydvd.com/
12:34 πŸ”— Smiley appently the first one is free.
12:34 πŸ”— Smiley SO i'm grabbing, but other might too?
12:35 πŸ”— ersi I've already grabbed it, previously
12:37 πŸ”— BlueMax by demos, do they mean demoscene?
12:37 πŸ”— Smiley yes
12:38 πŸ”— BlueMax right
12:38 πŸ”— BlueMax well I don't have the bandwith to grab
12:38 πŸ”— BlueMax looks interesting though
12:53 πŸ”— ersi you limited in transfer/month?
12:55 πŸ”— BlueMax 300GB
12:55 πŸ”— BlueMax already gone well over
12:56 πŸ”— winr4r jesus
12:56 πŸ”— * winr4r has a 20gb cap, hits that quite often.
12:56 πŸ”— BlueMax my father was being a dick
12:56 πŸ”— BlueMax the HDD he puts in his TV broke
12:56 πŸ”— BlueMax so instead of repairing it
12:56 πŸ”— BlueMax he buys a new one
12:56 πŸ”— BlueMax and downloads a fuckton of shows
12:56 πŸ”— BlueMax I've been capped for nearly a week and got another week to go
12:57 πŸ”— winr4r aw
12:57 πŸ”— winr4r i'm not even sure how i hit 20gb a month, i don't even download anything of any size
12:58 πŸ”— BlueMax to be fair regular website surfing can take a lot of data
12:58 πŸ”— BlueMax little tip, if your browser allows it, disable images
12:58 πŸ”— winr4r dude if i wanted to do that i'd use elinks
12:58 πŸ”— winr4r or something
12:59 πŸ”— BlueMax never thought of that admittedly
12:59 πŸ”— BlueMax that was my way of getting by when I was limited to 64kbps
12:59 πŸ”— winr4r ISDN :D
12:59 πŸ”— BlueMax yes, kilobits
12:59 πŸ”— BlueMax I wish the internet would, you know, grow up
13:00 πŸ”— BlueMax But the fucks leading the Australian government think the internet is not important
13:00 πŸ”— BlueMax although we'd probably die as a country without it
13:00 πŸ”— winr4r oh, australia
13:01 πŸ”— BlueMax yup
13:11 πŸ”— ersi hahaha
13:11 πŸ”— ersi 300GB cap? wow
13:12 πŸ”— ersi 20GB?! Woot
13:13 πŸ”— BlueMax I wish I could get more tbh
13:35 πŸ”— Smiley if I download heavily, I'm limited for a max of 24 hours, and of those 24 hours the limit is like 9am to 11pm, and then it's just to like 300Kb/s and it doesn't effect media streaming (offical tv sites) and stuff like youtube. :D
13:35 πŸ”— Smiley and people moan about it going "zomg but your isp limits stuff!!"
13:35 πŸ”— Smiley They've never _ACTUALLY_ limited me even though I abuse it quite a lot.
13:35 πŸ”— Smiley but my line does fuck up about 1 / month
13:38 πŸ”— BlueMax 1 / month
13:41 πŸ”— Smiley once a moth :P
13:41 πŸ”— Smiley errr once a month :PP
13:44 πŸ”— ersi I'm never limited, ever
13:44 πŸ”— Smiley nice
13:44 πŸ”— BlueMax screw you :P
14:36 πŸ”— Coderjoe omf_: I'm pretty sure that mario bros article is satire
14:38 πŸ”— DFJustin it is
14:43 πŸ”— Coderjoe nowhere in the Q&A is "Super" or "スーパーを" mentioned
14:43 πŸ”— ersi http://raaw.se/2013/07/04/google-shuts-down-a-popular-service-and-links-to-your-website/
15:19 πŸ”— ersi http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17086516/very-very-newbie-python-user-needing-help-w-running-a-command
15:20 πŸ”— ersi Someone trying to extract/restore a MegaWARC :o
16:17 πŸ”— joepie91 yay, my torrent client has hit 1TB up!
16:18 πŸ”— ersi Self-made?
17:30 πŸ”— omf_ Redhat release isos for 5.2, 6.1, 6.2, 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 8.0, and 9.0 are now on IA
17:31 πŸ”— winr4r omf_: splendid!
17:31 πŸ”— winr4r i first went lunix full-time with 6.2
17:32 πŸ”— Smiley we have a redhat 5.x box at work somewhere /me facepalms
17:35 πŸ”— ivan` redhat 5.x or RHEL 5.x?
17:37 πŸ”— Smiley rhel
17:37 πŸ”— Smiley hmmm wait....
17:37 πŸ”— Smiley which one is the one with paid support?
17:38 πŸ”— omf_ RHEL is what they call it now, before RHEL it was just RedHat and that got to version 9.x before they rebooted the version numbers
17:41 πŸ”— Smiley oooo then I'm not sure
17:42 πŸ”— omf_ login to the machine and do uname -a for the kernel version
17:42 πŸ”— Smiley No idea what box it is
17:42 πŸ”— Smiley :D
17:43 πŸ”— omf_ how many servers do you have there?
17:44 πŸ”— Smiley about 100
17:45 πŸ”— Smiley customers prob have even older O/S lying around.
17:45 πŸ”— Smiley I know we have one box so old, that it stopped being manufactured over 11 years ago ¬_¬
17:46 πŸ”— Smiley Not to worry though, it only bills the customers ;)
17:46 πŸ”— Smiley Not important or anythign
17:46 πŸ”— * ersi shrugs
17:47 πŸ”— omf_ I have a fascination with the aftermath of an old machine dying at a business. They act surprised
17:47 πŸ”— omf_ and they never seem to get the power savings a new machine would bring them
17:48 πŸ”— omf_ but it ran fine for the last 8 years!!!
17:48 πŸ”— omf_ I love when they don't have backups either
17:49 πŸ”— Smiley oh yes
17:49 πŸ”— Smiley omf_: this machine has died once
17:50 πŸ”— Smiley cost them £13000 to get the data off the old raid
17:50 πŸ”— Smiley lets carry on using it anyway \o/
17:50 πŸ”— Smiley me and my collegue are planning to blow it up
17:50 πŸ”— Smiley as they have everything ready to move over to the new system, they just "dont" for some reason
17:51 πŸ”— Smiley I think the reason being that the guy in charge of billing doesn't want to hand over control of the systems to IT, even though in reality we already control it.
17:51 πŸ”— omf_ At one place I worked we had machines never turn back on after being on for years. The silicon on the processor had slid around and when it cooled it would no longer work. Good times
17:52 πŸ”— Smiley lol
17:52 πŸ”— omf_ we had to do an air flow analysis of the server room and move the machines around
17:52 πŸ”— winr4r oh yeah, the hairy stuff you find that turns out to be critical to operations that people only realise existed when it goes wrong
17:52 πŸ”— Smiley i'm currently working out if we are likely to fall through the floor.
17:52 πŸ”— omf_ despite having an entire floor of server room and raised floors they had never tested how good the AC was
17:52 πŸ”— winr4r one client from work, they had some really really old computer controlling (as i recall) a stepper machine
17:52 πŸ”— winr4r running SCO or some shit
17:53 πŸ”— omf_ I love seeing that shit blow up because usually it was a dumb manager at fault
17:53 πŸ”— winr4r the only copy of the control software was on an LS-120 disk
17:53 πŸ”— omf_ lol
17:53 πŸ”— Smiley oh yes
17:53 πŸ”— Smiley we have one system which think's it's 1992
17:53 πŸ”— winr4r also: fucking netware boxes also come up where you never expect them to be!
17:53 πŸ”— Smiley if it goes past 1993 the licence runs out.... the company which sells licences doesn't exist....
17:54 πŸ”— winr4r Smiley: AWESOME
17:54 πŸ”— Smiley yay
17:54 πŸ”— Smiley oh and then theres the box that needs a specific USB key, which my maanger appently broke in half
17:54 πŸ”— Smiley so it's held together by tape, if you touch it, it crashes teh server.
17:54 πŸ”— winr4r excellent
17:55 πŸ”— omf_ license servers are the fucking best. I had to maintain this old piece of shit to run Adobe Framemaker on Solaris 8
17:56 πŸ”— omf_ Matlab's program security is junk too I learned
17:56 πŸ”— Smiley i should put some clothes on!
17:56 πŸ”— omf_ pfff, be a man and go outside naked
17:57 πŸ”— Smiley :D
17:57 πŸ”— Smiley I do have a towel on
17:57 πŸ”— Smiley I have no problem going outside naked, it's everyone else who does.
17:59 πŸ”— omf_ damn those prudes
17:59 πŸ”— omf_ we are all born naked
17:59 πŸ”— omf_ people should be used to it
18:00 πŸ”— omf_ lets see what is on this next set of drives. It could be ubuntu, debian, freebsd, netbsd, etc... the joy of discovery
18:00 πŸ”— * Smiley checks amazon to see what else he has ordered
18:00 πŸ”— SketchCow Digitizing Apple II Cassettes
18:02 πŸ”— omf_ they from the 70s or 80s?
18:10 πŸ”— SketchCow No idea
18:11 πŸ”— winr4r :)
18:12 πŸ”— * winr4r wonders how you would even digitise an apple II cassette
18:31 πŸ”— BlueMax sorry for getting ops and running. :P
18:31 πŸ”— winr4r we forgive you
18:32 πŸ”— * omf_ throws eggs at BlueMax
18:33 πŸ”— * BlueMax is eggdrop
18:39 πŸ”— SketchCow You digitize the cassette into a .wav
18:40 πŸ”— BlueMax I always find it insane that you can record a tape into a wav and then play it back
18:40 πŸ”— SketchCow Many emulators can read .wav
18:41 πŸ”— omf_ wav is a standard format that has been around a long time, it is easy to work with
18:43 πŸ”— BlueMax I know it's just one of those things that amazes me
18:43 πŸ”— BlueMax even though it really shouldn't
18:44 πŸ”— Smiley hmmm
18:44 πŸ”— Smiley wav is analog?
18:53 πŸ”— SketchCow Yes
18:53 πŸ”— SketchCow It's actually, to be more accurate, a digital recording of an analog source of a digital signal, in this case.
18:54 πŸ”— Smiley thats what I wanted to say, to blow up BlueMax's head.
18:55 πŸ”— BlueMax grafhrhgahfjfjd
18:56 πŸ”— SketchCow Here's how to blow his silly mind
18:56 πŸ”— SketchCow Hook up audio out from computer to cassette port of apple ii
18:56 πŸ”— SketchCow Play wav file
18:56 πŸ”— SketchCow apple II runs it
18:56 πŸ”— * Smiley wibbles
18:56 πŸ”— winr4r haha
18:56 πŸ”— Smiley even better, when you upload them to IA, and they back it upto tape.....
18:56 πŸ”— * BlueMax falls over
18:56 πŸ”— Smiley :O
18:56 πŸ”— SketchCow It works, people do it all the time.
18:57 πŸ”— winr4r Smiley: haha
18:58 πŸ”— BlueMax just blows my freakin' mind
18:58 πŸ”— * Schbirid slurps
18:59 πŸ”— BlueMax really wish I was able to play around with all this stuff
19:02 πŸ”— SketchCow https://twitter.com/MarconiStation/status/352864711995432960
19:02 πŸ”— SketchCow diiiicks
19:03 πŸ”— BlueMax balls?
19:06 πŸ”— winr4r i like your response
19:14 πŸ”— Schbirid <SketchCow> diiiicks
19:14 πŸ”— Schbirid <BlueMax> balls?
19:14 πŸ”— Schbirid <BlueMax> really wish I was able to play around with all this stuff
19:14 πŸ”— Schbirid he he he
19:16 πŸ”— BlueMax to be fair
19:16 πŸ”— BlueMax there are four people I would go gay for
19:16 πŸ”— SketchCow "go"?
19:16 πŸ”— BlueMax Neil Patrick Harris, David Tennant, Stephen Fry and SketchCow with a funny hat
19:17 πŸ”— Schbirid +simon pegg
19:17 πŸ”— winr4r if you've actually thought about a list of men that you would do, there's no "go" about it, bro
19:17 πŸ”— SketchCow Yeah, that fence is jummmped
19:17 πŸ”— winr4r i won't settle for anything less than jay farrar anyway
19:17 πŸ”— Schbirid nothing bad bout gayness
19:17 πŸ”— BlueMax I'm gonna jump your fence
19:19 πŸ”— SketchCow only got 20 dollars in my pocket
19:19 πŸ”— SketchCow http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pmaub5P4CRE
19:21 πŸ”— winr4r SketchCow: SUPER
19:22 πŸ”— ersi Finished watching Mirai Nikki once again :3
19:45 πŸ”— Smiley no no
19:45 πŸ”— Smiley brian cox
19:45 πŸ”— Smiley and hmmm
19:45 πŸ”— Smiley cap'n jack sparrow
19:45 πŸ”— Smiley and of course SketchCow
19:52 πŸ”— joepie91 ersi: if refering to torrent client, nope, just remarking that I've pushed a good amount of data :P
21:37 πŸ”— godane is archive.org having problems again?
21:43 πŸ”— Baljem oh man, I missed "this machine should be long dead" war stories?
21:43 πŸ”— SketchCow WHY AM I ON EVERYONE'S FENCE JUMP LIST
21:44 πŸ”— Baljem as far as I know, a customer is still running OpenVMS/VAX 5.5-2 on a fairly critical machine. it fell out of DEC's standard support scheme on September 30th, 1995.
21:44 πŸ”— Baljem luckily we managed to find a way to wash our hands of making sure our code was compatible /quite/ that far back :/
21:45 πŸ”— Baljem ... mainly because (and here it gets on topic) we couldn't find tapes for a compatible version of the VAX C compiler. some numpty upgraded our 5.5 build host to DEC C and screwed the pooch
21:46 πŸ”— ersi SketchCow: When did you learn norwegian? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1ZbJyhJBbk
21:47 πŸ”— ersi Jump like like a Bratwurst
22:03 πŸ”— SketchCow That guy has half my dynamism
22:09 πŸ”— ersi Yeah, it's the whole Norwegian thing
22:11 πŸ”— ersi cheeky song though
