[20:07:54] -!- janrinok has quit [Quit: Leaving]
[20:07:45] * cmn32480 picks up his evil eyes as they roll acrtoss the floor
[20:07:45] <janrinok> give J my best, take care
[20:07:32] <janrinok> I'm sure you will enjoy it!
[20:07:20] <cmn32480> but who knows what J has planned
[20:07:13] <cmn32480> likel;y
[20:06:44] <janrinok> see you tomorrow perhaps?
[20:06:30] <janrinok> you need the practice
[20:06:17] <janrinok> Fnord666, S says hi and bye to you too!
[20:06:11] <cmn32480> gee thanks... more pain and sufering.. like the kids aren't enough!
[20:06:02] * exec sneakily connects a test tube of xp to Fnord666
[20:06:01] <janrinok> ~gnight Fnord666
[20:05:54] * exec crutchyly planks a tarball of pain and suffering for cmn32480
[20:05:53] <janrinok> ~gnight cmn32480
[20:04:22] <Fnord666> back in a bit
[19:59:08] <Fnord666> janrinok have a good evening. Say hi to S for me.
[19:59:02] * exec diabolically crams a zfs volume of underwear into janrinok
[19:59:01] <cmn32480> ~gnight janrinok
[19:54:53] <janrinok> time to go for me!
[19:51:58] <cmn32480> and I jsut found a download of the manual online
[19:36:00] <Fnord666> oh yeah. Don't try to outsmart them. They take offense easily.
[19:35:37] <cmn32480> and vindictive... don't forget vindictive
[19:35:02] <Fnord666> I've learned to accept the fact that the $deities of fate are simply smarter than me.
[19:33:49] <cmn32480> but once we get a big snow, it is a certainty that it won't start, or run properly
[19:33:23] <cmn32480> but getting the blower ensures only dustings of snow for the next 10 years
[19:33:08] <cmn32480> correct
[19:33:02] <Fnord666> and not buying one insures a leak in a week.
[19:32:50] <cmn32480> so buying a set will ensure that tehy last beyond my use for the blower
[19:32:34] <Fnord666> now you've done it.
[19:32:22] <cmn32480> current gaskets are 30 years old and haven't failed
[19:32:05] <Fnord666> at least one but I'm kinda like that.
[19:31:44] <cmn32480> I may get one just to have it
[19:31:36] * Fnord666 golf claps
[19:31:24] <cmn32480> gasket set... $9.30
[19:31:17] <cmn32480> woot
[19:31:16] <cmn32480> lol
[19:30:31] <Fnord666> I made the mistake of going into a radio shack a couple of years ago and asked for an opinion on a new soldering iron. The blank stare I got in return made me die just a little inside.
[19:29:41] <cmn32480> admittedly, I've never had to change them either, but I know what they are and how to do it
[19:28:59] <cmn32480> kids today have no idea
[19:28:45] <Fnord666> distributor? points? condenser? what are these things? :-)
[19:28:02] <cmn32480> becasue, very simply, there is nothign to fry
[19:27:45] <cmn32480> that is the stuff that will survive the EMP wars
[19:27:34] <Fnord666> lol. yes.
[19:27:25] <cmn32480> before the advent of computers in equipment
[19:27:03] <cmn32480> and have them work like new
[19:27:03] <Fnord666> I know more than one person that routinely uses a farm tractor that was made before 1960
[19:26:55] <cmn32480> for instance, if I can get a gasket kit, I can rebuild any of my gas lawn inplements from the ground up
[19:25:37] <Fnord666> true.
[19:25:22] <cmn32480> slightly different for mechanical equipment like this
[19:25:10] <cmn32480> nod nod
[19:24:52] <Fnord666> exactly.
[19:24:22] <janrinok> and the number of monitors that I have had to scrap after a couple of years service, simply because when I open them up I am presented with a couple of ICs that I cannot replace
[19:22:46] <Fnord666> Good luck finding a TV that will last or be user serviceable though.
[19:21:00] <cmn32480> exactly
[19:20:35] <Fnord666> That is true. I have a push mower that is over 20 years old and parts are still available for it as well from Sears.
[19:19:59] <cmn32480> *for nearly ever
[19:19:49] <cmn32480> but stuff from sears (craftsman branded) has the reputation for parts availability fornearly ever
[19:19:25] <cmn32480> right
[19:19:22] <Fnord666> or a 3D printer.
[19:19:00] <Fnord666> unless you happen to own a CNC of course.
[19:18:28] <Fnord666> it can be built like a tank, but if the parts and consumables are not available...
[19:18:05] <Fnord666> Fortunately in your case the parts and supplies are still available also.
[19:17:50] <cmn32480> Dad even told me that the last time he changed the oil was before last snow season
[19:17:35] <cmn32480> yup
[19:17:22] <Fnord666> and if you neglect it, nothing will last very long.
[19:17:09] <cmn32480> and you will pay a big premium for them
[19:17:01] <cmn32480> that I will absolutely agree with
[19:16:49] <Fnord666> Ok, they are just few and far between.
[19:16:03] <cmn32480> and it was well taken care of
[19:15:55] <cmn32480> there are some bands that still build quality
[19:15:45] <cmn32480> not necessarily true
[19:15:34] <Fnord666> Great taht it's still going. Nothing you buy today will last that long.
[19:15:22] <cmn32480> good enough for what I need.. and far better than my 2cycle model that is only good to about 8 inches of snow
[19:14:00] <janrinok> it sounds like it should be wood fired!
[19:13:20] <cmn32480> likely, my uncle didn't ahve it
[19:13:10] <cmn32480> my dad didn't get the user manual for the unit when he got the unit from my uncle in 1996
[19:12:53] <cmn32480> shockingly, no
[19:12:43] <Fnord666> what, you don't have the user manual with all that info on it?
[19:11:31] * cmn32480 dopes th happy dance
[19:11:26] <cmn32480> engine comes up on Sears website too!
[19:11:19] <cmn32480> WOOT!
[19:10:27] <cmn32480> without taking off cowlings, etc
[19:10:20] <cmn32480> found a model number but no manufacturer sticker
[19:07:13] <cmn32480> brb
[19:07:11] <cmn32480> dad gummit
[19:06:58] * cmn32480 also now needs to go see who made the engine to see if there are parts available for it
[19:06:22] * cmn32480 is rather shocked that there are still 221 parts available for this ancient snowblower
[19:05:55] * janrinok built it especially
[19:05:40] * cmn32480 notes that janrinok's box must be rather large to store multiple cigar store indians
[19:04:43] <Fnord666> now he's an indian giver.
[19:04:28] * janrinok puts him in the box with the others
[19:04:13] * cmn32480 passes janrinok an indian
[19:03:54] <janrinok> no, you are an eye giver - I just saw you
[19:03:38] <cmn32480> I'm not an Indian giver
[19:03:21] <janrinok> take the evil eye back, you might need it again
[19:02:48] * cmn32480 gives bytram the evil eye
[19:02:26] <janrinok> no - she must have been calling someone else before you came along
[19:01:50] <cmn32480> have'nt you noticed the higher phone bills?
[19:01:49] <janrinok> damn
[19:01:45] <cmn32480> frequently
[19:01:38] <janrinok> does S call you as well?
[19:01:21] <cmn32480> sorry.y. was summoned by she who must be obeyed
[19:00:18] <janrinok> well this bit of everyone is very well thx
[19:00:05] <Fnord666> How is everyone today?
[18:59:23] <Fnord666> logged in successfully. Thanks!
[18:57:47] <cmn32480> and deservedly so
[18:56:30] <Fnord666> :-)
[18:56:09] <janrinok> Fnord666, he always apologises for the delay, but it doesn't stop the same thing happening to the next guy....
[18:55:30] <cmn32480> shoudl work eventually
[18:55:20] <cmn32480> Fnord666 - your wiki account shoudl now be active. Sorry for the delay. look at the address you signed up with for a pwd. soon as the stupid ball quits spinning on the page

[18:54:41] <janrinok> lol
[18:54:33] <Fnord666> that I can get anywhere. I come here for the good stuff.
[18:54:11] <cmn32480> we have a lower quality abuse, if you'd prefer...
[18:53:28] <janrinok> true - but I wasn't sure that you had noticed
[18:53:25] <Fnord666> but it's quality abuse
[18:53:00] <cmn32480> after all... you don't get any from me.. all you get is abuse
[18:52:52] <janrinok> too kind
[18:52:45] <cmn32480> I have enough love to give her a share as well
[18:52:36] * exec brazenly experiences a fat32 volume of purple drank with janrinok
[18:52:35] <Fnord666> ~gday janrinok
[18:52:32] <cmn32480> we dish them out liberally

[18:52:20] <janrinok> cmn32480, she sends a hug in return. You guys get more hugs than I do!
[18:52:17] <cmn32480> I need ot run some marvals through the fuel, and change the oil... that sort of thing
[18:51:41] <cmn32480> yeah.. it needs a little TLC
[18:51:15] <Fnord666> Preparing for the coming winter I see.
[18:50:40] * cmn32480 goes to approve fnord's wiki account

[18:45:17] <cmn32480> not here
[18:45:04] <janrinok> has the snow already arrived where you are - I note some heavy falls on the news
[18:44:38] <cmn32480> I was looking to replace the muffler... the one that is on there is heavily rusted and that bitch is LOUD
[18:43:50] <janrinok> I take it that you need parts - you're not just searching for the hell of it?
[18:43:18] <cmn32480> holy crap.. the 30 year old snowblower still has OEM parts available from sears
[18:42:46] <janrinok> lol
[18:42:31] <cmn32480> ignore them as much as possible
[18:42:18] <cmn32480> so that's pretty nice
[18:42:15] <janrinok> good, what have you got to do today with the kids?
[18:42:14] <cmn32480> still eating lasagne
[18:42:07] <cmn32480> the 4 hour pack meeting turned inot 2 hours... so that was a bonus

[03:24:31] <Bytram> ?
[03:24:31] <Bytram> yeah, that is the "m1_ban_duration" var... where'd you get the year / forever values from
[03:24:30] <charon> lol
[03:24:20] <cmn32480> yes charon
[03:24:11] <cmn32480> I couldn't remember the first offender was a week or a month
[03:24:11] <charon> 182.5?
[03:23:58] <cmn32480> I remembered that one
[03:23:54] <cmn32480> 180 day is 6 months
[03:23:42] <cmn32480> forever if needed
[03:23:41] <Bytram> wehre you se that?
[03:23:30] <Bytram> var: m1_ban_duration / 180 / Duration of ban in days all subsequent times someone is banned from moderating
[03:23:29] <cmn32480> a year for third
[03:23:26] <cmn32480> 6 months for second time

[03:12:20] <Deucalion> cmn32480, fleshed out that JD yet?
[03:11:58] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: cmn32480: looks like Francis came close... 4 out of 5 mods were a downmod of aristukus

[03:10:52] <Bytram> there's a bunch of argueing going on in the discussions, but all-in-all we have a good community that way... mostly plays by the rules they set up for themselves. =)
[03:10:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> cmn32480, i usually send a message to the one getting banned letting them know why as well but you ain't technically gotta.
[03:10:44] * cmn32480 checks charon for a temperature
[03:10:09] <charon> huh, those two are diametrically opposed, but runaway usually comes across as pretty rational

[03:09:44] <Bytram> or wrong spam mod?

[03:09:36] <Bytram> for future reference... what happened? 5 downmods in one day on one user?
[03:09:27] <charon> 5 buttons, 5 bans
[03:09:23] <TheMightyBuzzard> otherwise he'll end up banned until sometime in 2019
[03:09:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> cmn32480, just hit the unmod and ban once, the other four just hit unmod

[03:08:43] <charon> yes, i made a note, link to the story in the note

[03:07:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> that's as big as i can do without changing fonts
[03:07:27] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: lemme check
[03:07:26] <charon> it's a dupe, fairly straightforward?

[03:06:56] <cmn32480> well.. you all owe me a big "Thank you"
[03:06:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> Bytram, how ya feel about playing the SN heavy tonight and issuing a mod-ban to runaway1956 for mod-bombing?
[03:06:24] <charon> so i've never rejected a sub before, but i am going to. does it send a message to the submitter automatically?
[03:06:17] <Bytram> not to rush... but I need to be AT work in just under 10 hrs.... and I would like to sleep first... whats up?

[01:40:13] <charon_> i'll put on my sunglasses
[01:39:44] <Bytram> just beware of the psychedelic blinking overlays coming up -- i found 'em very distracting

[01:38:39] <charon_> that must take a fair bit of practice. thought it's just as silly as the guitar version

[01:21:10] <chromas> From the dept-generator dept
[01:16:10] <takyon> well you could just change it so that clicking the button adds one of a few very generic dept lines
[01:14:32] <charon_> i set up that button to be just like the auto-cap button. i was so happy with it
[01:12:37] <takyon> or the "despace" function in text areas
[01:12:28] <takyon> like the button I have that autocapitalizes words
[01:12:20] <takyon> those seconds really add up
[01:11:17] <charon_> takyon: it annoyed me enough to spend more time writing a function to change it than i will ever save
[01:08:03] <charon_> god i hope not...

[01:07:47] <Bytram> charon: well! I was working on it *SECOND* -- so there! ;)
[01:07:17] <charon_> i was working on it first, nyah
[01:07:04] <takyon> I might have heard about it one time in the middle of being an editor, and forgotten it instantly

[00:58:58] <takyon> charon_: I never knew that spaces were converted to dashes in the dept field. And I've been an editor quite a while now. That's hundreds of times I've entered in dashes manually
[00:47:53] <charon_> annnnd i just found out the one i was working is a dupe of one you already di
[00:47:07] <charon_> you're a publishing machine!
[00:41:18] <Fnord666> I would jsut have to push one out a bit though. No big deal.
[00:40:39] <Fnord666> If you wish but I already scheduled as if it wasn't going to run.
[00:38:53] <charon_> fnord, i have one ready to slot, so i'll put it in that time space
[00:38:11] <charon_> any time
[00:38:03] <Bytram> appreciate the reminder!
[00:37:57] <Bytram> thanks!
[00:37:48] <charon_> ok, i'll schedule so as to ignore it
[00:37:31] <Bytram> charon: umm, yeah... kinda forgot about it... given it's near year end and people are busy with holiday shopping, end-of-year deadlines and all, maybe best to postpose to new year sometime
[00:37:23] <Fnord666> Good question. I've been waffling about the timing of stories this evening.

[00:29:37] <Deucalion> I know... headings, what use are they :P
[00:29:07] <charon_> i saw that after reading the 3rd or 4th time
[00:29:00] <Deucalion> ~Future~ being key I guess
[00:28:53] <charon_> ha ha
[00:28:45] <Deucalion> One clue... on the User Page..... "Default Settings For New Future Channels" in big and bold letters above the buffer field :D
[00:28:02] <Deucalion> Ahh OK... inheritance on settings bites again I suspect (I touch on that in the wiki page too). Did you up the buffer size on the user page and expect it to apply to your existing channels?
[00:22:29] <charon_> the test will be when i get on tonight in about 2 hours
[00:21:35] <charon_> not at home now, and i'm pretty sure i won't because i rejoined all channels and now the network config window agrees with buffer size in the user config window
[00:20:39] <Deucalion> charon_, you still only getting 50 scrollback on channels?
[00:20:01] <chromas> Yes. Irc.nsa.gov
[00:19:33] <Deucalion> Sheesh... we used to have NNTP for that
[00:19:02] <Deucalion> chromas, it's a fucking bouncer... each user could be on any number of networks, each network with any number of channels.... the bouncer should log all channels on all networks just in case? Fuck it, every bouncer instance anywhere should hold every message on any channel on any irc server ever and hold it in memory for instant replay forever. That's not even sane.
[00:18:12] <charon_> someone at the NSA just decided to hire chromas
[00:17:36] <charon_> lol
[00:17:25] <chromas> We just didn't talk 'til you got back
[00:17:24] <charon_> worng with my settings, mind you.
[00:16:39] <charon_> then maybe something is still wrong. because after i set buffer to 9999, next time i logged into it, it still only showed 50
[00:16:29] <chromas> Save all channels forever!
[00:16:20] <chromas> it only needs to store each channel once for everybody though
[00:15:58] <Deucalion> IRC is tinfoil hat territory... that kind of behaviour would be stomped on so viciously it would be the end of ZNC as a bouncer. We much prefer "it does what it says on the tin and only what it says on the tin".
[00:13:32] <Deucalion> ery channel I'm in when I only asked for 10? etc.
[00:13:32] <Deucalion> It did change it in real time. From that point hence it would save your designated N number of lines for playback. What do you expect it to do? Say you have it set for 10 lines scrollback, then change your mind to 9999 lines.... at all times the bouncer should keep 10000 lines scrollback for all your channels in case you change your mind? That would have people up in arms... why the fuck is the bouncer "secretly" storing 10000 lines of ev
[00:10:41] <charon_> for the channels i was already in
[00:10:18] <charon_> Deucalion: in retrospect that makes sense. i just assumed that changing the setting in the config would change the bouncer in real time
[00:10:11] <Deucalion> Depends on your state of sanity I guess.
[00:09:28] <Bytram> ;)
[00:09:25] <Bytram> thas better than "peek weak", right?
[00:08:48] <Deucalion> Bytram, get your sleep. This is "peak week" in retail after all :D
[00:07:10] <Deucalion> much infinite state if you hook it up to something like Freenode
[00:07:10] <Deucalion> charon, well logically the buffer would only apply retrospectively. As stated in the opening para, the bouncer is your concierge, a very discreet one, it forgets anything you don't tell it to remember. The alternative would be for the bouncer to remember every line in every channel on every network it knows about, even ones you never joined just in case you should want scrollback for a channel retrospectively. That's getting on for pretty
