[14:10:08] <boru> Well, I've been able to dissipate most of it, but there are stability issues over ~4.2GHz which I am trying to address. I just need to sit with with an oscilloscope and a DMM for an afternoon to solve it.
[14:10:19] <Bytram> nod nod
[14:10:34] <Bytram> or... settle for running at 4.1GHz ?? =)
[14:10:40] <boru> Pft, never!
[14:10:47] <boru> That's all anyone else has been able to do!
[14:10:50] * Bytram is not surprised
[14:11:04] * Bytram scavenges around for a dewer of LN2
[14:11:24] <Bytram> a little dewer will do ya, amirite?
[14:12:20] <boru> Aye, but not quite there, yet.

[14:13:19] <boru> I'd prefer to try to stay at water for the moment, but He and N aren't off the cards, yet!
[14:13:26] <Bytram> ROFL!
[14:16:07] <Bytram> it seems so obvious, but if an air conditioner does not use water (presumably more efficient), why don't CPU cooling rigs use whatever is in an AC unit?
[14:16:28] <Bytram> s/y /y using something /
[14:17:01] <boru> Size, ESD, thermal regulation etc.
[14:17:43] <Bytram> are all the watercooling hardware located inside the case?
[14:17:45] <boru> TECs/Peltier elements are good for keeping stable temperatures as opposed to wildly deviating ones.
[14:17:54] <boru> Yeah, typically, and mine is.

[14:18:05] <boru> Pump, res/rad and water block.
[14:19:42] * Bytram recalls the only watercooling he'd been involved with was running operating system function tests an IBM 3090 when there were only 2 prototypes in existence in the world... I'd have one of them to myself for 8-hour shifts at a time. =)

[14:58:13] <FatPhil> Oh my - Bitcoin's looking a bit parabolic, I wonder how far it will go...
[14:58:44] <Bytram> FatPhil: parabolic?
[14:59:46] <FatPhil> When the *log* curve is convex-up.
[15:00:14] <FatPhil> log curve being a straight line is just exponential growth - you know, that growth that's unsustainable.
[15:00:26] <Bytram> nod nod
[15:00:33] * Bytram is looking at: https://www.coindesk.com
[15:00:35] <FatPhil> so parabolic log curve = tulip time!

[15:01:20] <AndyTheAbsurd> 12hr shows that it's currently dropping...
[15:01:36] <AndyTheAbsurd> 1hr has it going back up but not by much...
[15:02:17] <FatPhil> hickups are expected, it's pretty much the definition of volatile!
[15:03:34] <Bytram> tru dat
[15:03:41] <AndyTheAbsurd> BTC is pretty much the definition of bullshit.
[15:04:01] <AndyTheAbsurd> It's a currency that has value because a bunch of people believe that it has value.
[15:04:49] <AndyTheAbsurd> You cannot melt it down and use it for built things (practical *or* pretty), you cannot pay your taxes with it, you cannot eat it.
[15:04:59] <Bytram> that may be true, but does that mean you cannot make money from it?
[15:05:03] <FatPhil> Powered by the perpetual momentum of the bigger idiot.
[15:05:03] <AndyTheAbsurd> You cannot even set it on fire to keep warm.
[15:05:35] <FatPhil> This is the first big "bubble" that I've paid attention too, and I'm kinda getting a bit nerdy about how it's behaving.
[15:05:57] * Bytram is tempted to purchase, say, $1k worth of bitcoin (or mebbe Ethereum)
[15:05:57] <AndyTheAbsurd> Oh, you can make money off the backs of idiots. That isn't particularly hard, but I feel like I'm too late to the Bitcoin bandwagon to make a significant profit.
[15:06:22] <Bytram> I've been feeling that way since 1 BTC was worth just under $0.12
[15:06:23] <boru> I missed out on BTC.
[15:06:45] <boru> I had intended to invest 10K when it was <100USD, but the bird I was seeing at the time told me it was a bad idea.
[15:06:58] <boru> And, sadly, I listened to her.
[15:07:06] <FatPhil> I have no skin in the game presently, but I'm seriously thinking of buying the things that the not-quite-biggest idiots will buy as their BTC stop-losses kick in and they flood elsewhere.
[15:07:15] <Bytram> IIUC, Ethereum is designed to thwart ASIC miners... requires too much memory so it goes back to graphics cards for optimal produciton
[15:08:06] <AndyTheAbsurd> wasn't there some big flaw in Ethereum reported on in the last few weeks?
[15:08:16] <FatPhil> I don't think mining's important any more - this is a game of speculation (i.e. making bets about the future) rather than any kind of production.
[15:08:24] <boru> One of the lads here at work has a good investment strategy; he spends N per month on the top 5 priced currencies, and any excess he has. He never sells any of them.
[15:08:47] <boru> I think the biggest mistake you can make is alarmist selling.
[15:08:51] <Bytram> there was some blockchain based currency that had a major issue -- someone ws able to basically kill all multi-factor(wording?) wallets
[15:08:58] <FatPhil> Sounds like "buy high, sell never" which is even worse than my "buy high, sell low" strategy.
[15:09:10] <Bytram> FatPhil: ROFL!
[15:09:17] <AndyTheAbsurd> FatPhil: depends on what your goals are.
[15:09:26] <boru> It's a long term investment; sell when you retire.
[15:09:36] <Bytram> if you plan to fail, and do, indeed, fail... did you fail or did you succeed?
[15:10:01] <boru> The gist is to invest a small amount that you can otherwise afford to lose.
[15:10:03] <AndyTheAbsurd> If the goals is "choose some time to exit the market when you can make a shitload of money", then it's a bad strategy. If the goal is "Have greater than zero when it's time to retire", it's a great strategy.
[15:10:06] <boru> Seems to be working out wellfor him.
[15:10:14] <Bytram> sell enough to recoup your investment and then, for the most part, let the rest ride.
[15:10:40] <Bytram> or, take out some amount in dollars on a regular basis if you seek more stability
[15:10:56] <FatPhil> AndyTheAbsurd: tell that to Zimbabwe, Weimar, Hungary, ...
[15:11:26] <AndyTheAbsurd> FatPhil: well, it is "top 5 currencies" so the risk is better distributed.
[15:12:10] <FatPhil> Unless JPM suddenly decide that they don't actually want to secretly play that game, and crash teh whole thing.
[15:12:19] <AndyTheAbsurd> Funny you should mention Zimbabwe, my sister went there in the '90s and brought me back some currency, which I just found again last week. 27 first Zimbabwe dollars - they're probably collectors items now.
[15:12:47] <FatPhil> I think I have 200 trillion zimbabwe dollars :)
[15:13:32] <AndyTheAbsurd> yeah, but those are probably third or fourth Z$ - that was *after* hyperinflation took hold, mine are from before that.
[15:13:34] <Bytram> lemme guess, the paper is worth more than the stated currency amount?
[15:13:42] <FatPhil> I'm attempting to pick up 'tween-war German notes of ever increasing denominations too.
[15:14:16] <Bytram> ISTR that as the 'newer' rounds of currency came out, the older ones were 'retired' and made devoid of value?
[15:14:26] * Bytram could be terribly mistaken
[15:15:09] <FatPhil> For zimbabwe, that was indeed the case. Hungary and Germany over-printed old notes, IIRC.
[15:16:11] <Bytram> Huh? I actually remembered correctly? Not too shabby for this early in the AM!
[15:16:23] <Bytram> don't know about overprinting old notes.
[15:16:35] <Bytram> do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-ti-do!
[15:18:24] <FatPhil> I think it was an early version of what we now call "recycling". Was better for the environment than burning them for heat.
[15:18:40] <FatPhil> every the eko nuts, those germans

[15:36:29] <boru> Just buy military surplus. It's easier.
[15:36:34] <Bytram> was wrong with buying jeans?
[15:37:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> Bytram, nothing wrong with the old ones, cept they shrunk over the past couple years.
[15:37:19] <AndyTheAbsurd> you have to go to places that sell jeans, and interact with people that work in retail.
[15:37:27] <Bytram> did the jeans shrink or did you expand or a bit of both?
[15:37:37] <Bytram> ;)
[15:37:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> military surplus gets a pretty hefty premium in TN though. too many folks like camo round these parts.

[15:40:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> could but there's a place here in town selling em wicked cheap right now. may pick a few pairs that i can barely fit in up.
[15:41:22] <Bytram> a prohibition against prepositions at the end of a sentence is something I cannot up with put!
[15:43:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> there's an easy solution to that... just add ", asshole." to the end of any sentence ending in a preposition and you're shiny.
[15:45:14] <AndyTheAbsurd> >> "Where's your party at?"
[15:45:25] <AndyTheAbsurd> << "Don't end a sentence with a preposition."

[16:34:46] <FatPhil> Technically, I could just short, but I've never played in that kind of market before, and that might be too risky.
[16:35:44] <Bytram> there's an old adage which i dont remember exactly but runs something like "The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent."

[16:36:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> "buy low, sell high" has yet to fail me. though admittedly i'm still waiting to sell high on some things i bought many moons ago.
[16:37:07] <Bytram> wow... 92? Didn't know I was *that* high... as the saying goes: "Do good things for others, and then forget about it."
[16:37:28] <FatPhil> I'm a luddite, I believe in buying stuff you want for stuff you have, and all this shorting and leverage sounds ungentlemanly.
[16:37:44] <Bytram> btw, is there a simple way for me to find out which of our servers are on Ubuntu and which are on gentoo or, whatever?

[16:40:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> sodium+magnesium+lithium are gentoo. beryllium is centos. the rest are ubuntu.
[16:41:01] <Bytram> I can do a grep on "Ubuntu" and -v "Ubuntu" but that is... inelligant
[16:41:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> well at least i think oxygen is ubuntu. we hardly ever count it when we're talking about servers and even more rarely log into it.
[16:41:56] <Bytram> strange, uname for sodium reports:
[16:41:57] <Bytram> Linux sodium.li694-22 3.13.0-129-generic #178-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 11 12:48:20 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[16:42:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya, someone didn't change the kernel apparently.
[16:42:33] <FatPhil> TheMightyBuzzard: yup, I'm fortunately risk-averse, and that's one territory I'm not prepared to go anywhere near.
[16:42:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> the system is gentoo running an ubuntu kernel. which is kinda fucked up.
[16:43:02] <Bytram> sodium's motd reports: Welcome to Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.13.0-129-generic x86_64)
[16:43:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> da shit?
[16:43:42] <Bytram> I *just* ssh'd there and that is what I saw
[16:44:23] <FatPhil> ubuntu virus infected your gentoo machine?
[16:44:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> what. the. fuck. i thought we gentoo'd that months ago.
[16:44:49] <Bytram> ISTR the same... and looking at some local logs
[16:44:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> nope, it's sure as shit ubuntu
[16:45:04] <TheMightyBuzzard> oh well
[16:45:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> we'll just have to do it again i guess
[16:46:46] <TheMightyBuzzard> aight. i got stuff needs doing and getting my exercise on in the morning has had me in the mood to actually do some of it lately.
[16:46:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> laters
[16:47:34] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: ciao for now... have a great day!
[17:04:28] <pinchy> that apple empty password login as root after clicking a few times reminds me some linux bug a few years back where u retried a password and it would eventually let u in
[17:04:49] <boru> ISTR some similar crap with KDE's login manager.
[17:05:16] <boru> Windows...95? I think had the problem as well.
[17:05:37] <boru> You could go through a cab file help loop and end up at a cmd prompt and boot the main windows shell.
[17:05:51] <pinchy> wasnt there a gif showing that whol eprocess?
[17:06:13] <boru> Yes: https://i.imgur.com
[17:06:14] <pinchy> u right click on the password box and go thru a bunch of print menus
[17:07:25] <boru> There was another one with the cab file, iirc.
[17:07:57] <boru> That said, you could always dump the registry hive and break the lanman hash in about 2 minutes.
[17:08:03] <pinchy> thats sooo epic http://thebestpageintheuniverse.net
[17:08:03] <boru> Passwords for all.
[17:08:06] <exec> └─ 13Not everything is epic, you shitheads.
[17:08:22] <pinchy> lanman hash eh?
[17:08:44] <boru> Aye, you could BF the hash in two parts, because it was just concatenated.
[17:08:50] <boru> Silly, silly algorithm.
[17:11:02] <pinchy> at an old job they sold some PDA thing that was used with fuel trucks. the password screen would throw an excpetion if it was blank and u hit ok
[17:11:25] <boru> Nice.
[17:11:28] <pinchy> 'security is hard'
[17:12:17] <pinchy> another place a web login to some utility page. if you entered the password and hit enter instead of clicking OK it would say 'invalid password;
[17:12:33] <pinchy> first day they tell u 'click ok instead of enter'
[17:15:43] <pinchy> some interver at apple: I asked about the software testing. I was told, "don't expect what you're used to at Microsoft"
