[15:08:33] <Runaway1956> Oh, I just did a search for information on that primer factory - didn't (yet) find what I was looking for, but did find this
[15:06:21] <Runaway1956> Besides, a big old .50 ball is an impressive thing in and of itself

[15:04:34] <Runaway1956> If you have primers, powder and projectile, you can reuse most casings several times.
[15:04:32] <boru> Tehnically, you could make those yourself, as well.
[15:03:49] <Runaway1956> Oh yeah - primers. One of the gun companies is supposed to open a primer factory in Texas soon, which should ease the 'shortages'.
[15:03:07] <boru> Not easy to get primers/casings here, either.

[14:58:12] <boru> The energy expended by bludgeoning is worth more to me than the cost of a round.
[14:57:34] <Runaway1956> To be fair, shooting someone is far less violent than bludgeoning him to death. ;^)

[11:21:17] <FatPhil> when commissioning a new system, I always create a local unprivileged user at the same time as I set up the root account, and that always has the username "luser" and real name "Local User".

[04:28:12] <progo> does Slack still support threaded-streamed conversations? I heard about that and saw some pictures, and swore never to willingly join a Slack space
[04:27:05] <progo> The Lounge doesn't support IRC user icons from K… k-something that created the protocol for it
[04:26:47] <Runaway1956> hmmmm
[04:26:28] <progo> works as well on a phone as a laptop -- provided you have some kind of decent text input for the phone
[04:26:14] <progo> I'm using The Lounge, a split IRC proxy and html/js client. it's pretty basic and it works good for me
[04:25:53] <Runaway1956> Or . . . is there
[04:25:50] * progo hands Runaway1956 a few dozen animated user avatar icons
[04:25:39] <Runaway1956> I'm thinking "Javascript? Ain't no javascript in IRC!"
[04:25:09] <Runaway1956> 'course, I mostly only connect with xchat, I don't see the same things people see when they use a web browser portal
[04:24:26] <progo> seems so
[04:24:11] <Runaway1956> Yeah, looks like you're right, I followed the wrong crowd?
[04:23:44] <progo> well, libera.chat took off immediately with the momentum of the exiled freenode sysadmins. and it's the presumed inheritor of the freenode crowd today
[04:23:20] <Runaway1956> initially, I saw a lot of channels created that migrated from freenode, then it grew less and less populated
[04:22:58] <Runaway1956> During the exodus from freenode, some people were talking about librairc, and I created an account -
[04:22:02] <progo> I think you're mistaking librairc.net for something else
[04:21:58] <Runaway1956> and I have no good answers for you - it's just a sad state of affairs now
[04:21:52] <progo> no one is talking about librairc.net, that I can find in DDG's search index
[04:20:28] <Runaway1956> and libera.chat
[04:20:27] <progo> when was it ever a thing? why are its FAQs full of spam now?
[04:20:13] <Runaway1956> yes, librairc.net
[04:18:47] <progo> now you've got me misspelling things
[04:18:40] <progo> *librairc.net, I mean
[04:18:28] <progo> it has SPAM in the FAQ pages
[04:18:10] <progo> is libreirc.net one of these threee? I've never heard of it and it looks like it was never a big deal
[04:14:50] <Runaway1956> Well, without knowing all the facts in any particular cases, I believe that some communities just felt let down by the services on all three IRC networks, and created their own
[04:13:02] * progo didn't actually connect to their IRC servers
[04:12:54] <progo> librairc.net seems to be barely functioning
[04:12:42] <Runaway1956> Libera seems to be more populated than libra
[04:12:37] <progo> very nice
[04:12:34] <progo> FAQs include: "what are solvent dyes" and "benefits of installing solar panels on your home"
[04:11:32] <progo> librairc looks kinda silly. this is all it says without javascript on the home page: "Welcome to LibraIRC.net! Do not enter here if you are sane, the management can not be held responsible should you have entered the realms of insanity when you quit the server. :)"
[04:09:27] <progo> some people did all 3 for a while
[04:09:21] <progo> for channels, I mean
[04:09:14] <progo> the choice was: 1) follow the exiled sysadmins to libera.chat 2) stay with those who stole the brand name and domain name on freenode 3) pick one of the other open networks
[04:08:29] <progo> there was some general FUD about all the admins starting a new network… and then Freenode made picking sides easy, by deleting everything
[04:07:27] <progo> libera.chat is where all of the exiled freenet SYSADMINS went. the users followed
[04:06:37] <Runaway1956> lemme check it out
[04:06:28] <Runaway1956> I've never been to libera - I though you were just misspelling libra
[04:06:21] <progo> okay
[04:05:51] <progo> 22:48 <Runaway1956> Yeah, they did - I think some have moved on from libera too though
[04:05:42] <Runaway1956> it's simply not as populated as it was immediately after freenode was borked
[04:05:27] <Runaway1956> I said that some seem to have lefe librairc - but I don't really know why
[04:04:54] <Runaway1956> irc.librairc.net
[04:04:34] <progo> I thought someone just said now in this thread that people left libera.chat
[04:04:16] <tedious> I heard that freenode was having problems but I didn't hear anything about groups leaving libera too.
[04:04:15] <progo> libra is not the name of a chat network I know
[04:04:02] <progo> what was the drama at libera? why did a significant number of people sign up for libera and subsequently leave?
[04:03:56] <Runaway1956> Yes, talking about freenode - Libra is where everyone went when freenode was borked
[04:03:30] <tedious> But your talking about freenode not libera right?
[04:02:29] <Runaway1956> what they have now is less than a ghost of the old network
[04:02:19] <progo> if a service can't get password hashes to work on a new system, everyone groans and resets their passwords and moves on. (assuming this isn't a hostile trademark takeover.) if you delete all of the user's visible configuration, well, that's game over
[04:02:15] <Runaway1956> As I mentioned, there were literally tens of thousands of users logged in at any given time - possibly even hundreds of thousands
[04:01:18] <Runaway1956> Yes, I re-registered my account twice, and gave up
[04:01:17] <progo> amazing flagrant incompetence
[04:01:04] <progo> I stopped caring after 1
[04:01:01] <progo> multiple times?
[04:00:54] <progo> AFAICT they did this because they couldn't figure out how to port data to new backend software
[04:00:53] <Runaway1956> Actually, they've deleted user accounts multiple times - I gave up on trying to maintain my own account
[03:59:59] <progo> that was my first soylent news post :^)
[03:59:47] <progo> Freenode is a new network with the old name. one day last year they literally deleted all channels and user accounts
[03:59:40] <t3> it's really great for the rest of us though, so many free videos available
[03:57:39] * Runaway1956 wonders how his equipment would fare at such a task
[03:57:22] <Runaway1956> Heh.
[03:55:23] <progo> oh boy. my heart goes out to all the students out there trying to attend "lectures" over phone calls in the last two years. I just opened a youtube video of a university professor interviewing a former microsoftie... the professor appears to be in a cavernous kitchen using her computer's on-board mic. she should know better than to do that
[03:52:34] <Runaway1956> I know I've seen a couple such messages posted
[03:52:21] <Runaway1956> Now that I think about it a little more, I think maybe some of the old communities have created their own IRC services on their own servers
[03:50:50] <Runaway1956> It's more alive than freenode, but it doesn't have tens of thousands logged in like the old days of freenode
[03:50:15] <Runaway1956> did /list on librairc, the most populated channel was #India with 124 logged in, I stopped scrolling there
[03:49:26] <tedious> Oh I didn't know libera had problems too.
[03:49:09] <tedious> What a waste of money.
[03:49:00] <tedious> I wonder how much he paid for that community that he destroyed?
[03:48:49] <Runaway1956> Yeah, they did - I think some have moved on from libera too though
[03:48:27] <tedious> Like it wasn't even a big debate everybody just did it.
[03:48:24] <Runaway1956> I just did /list on freenode - scroll down several times, the most populated channel has 24 people logged in
[03:48:04] <tedious> Didn't everybody just move to libera?
[03:46:23] <Runaway1956> a lot of good communities were disrupted all because of his ego
[03:46:05] <Runaway1956> I'd like to slap that fool a few times who wrecked freenode
[03:45:48] <tedious> I'll just find a new home eventually.
[03:45:23] <tedious> My shell is still banned from freenode too.
[03:42:59] <Runaway1956> if your request worked, then you can log in with /server freeznc.ru +6697 nick:pass
[03:41:12] <Runaway1956> Right - forget irc.v.bg - instead use freenode ##freeznc
[03:40:08] <Runaway1956> lemme look at that again . . .
[03:40:00] <tedious> I'm always sad when I hear about internet services that die and fade away.
[03:39:39] <tedious> That's too bad.
[03:39:31] <tedious> Can't connect to irc.v.bg to start the sign up.
[03:39:06] <Runaway1956> It's pretty screwed up, to be honest - I expect that one day, my account will stop working, and I'll never be able to log in again
[03:38:23] <tedious> It looks like their front door server is down.
[03:36:43] <Runaway1956> There's nothing new on that page either - I guess the "request" button still works, and you might even get an account working
[03:35:39] <systemd> ^ 03Free ZNC - www.znc.bg ( https://znc.bg )
[03:35:35] <Runaway1956> https://freeznc.ru
[03:34:49] <Runaway1956> There's talk about moving to a new service, with more and better services, but nothing has happened in months
[03:34:24] <tedious> Maybe the owner died?
[03:34:09] <tedious> Oh wow so you mean it's shut down because the servers were abandoned or something?
[03:33:23] <Runaway1956> It's kinda like a horror story - everyone has died, I'm the last man standing or something like that
[03:32:54] <Runaway1956> Nahhhh, joined both # and ## - nobody home - and it's libra, that's where everyone went when the crazy rich bastard took over freenode
[03:32:13] <chromas> or maybe it's ##libreznc
[03:31:55] <chromas> Maybe you need an extra #
[03:17:27] <Runaway1956> Channel on libra.irc is empty as empty can be
[03:15:55] <Runaway1956> visit ##freeznc on freenode - their channel is still alive despite freenode fockery
[03:14:37] <tedious> Probably not a good idea to start using them.
[03:14:19] <tedious> Oh ok.
[03:14:04] <Runaway1956> Lemme find the link
[03:13:59] <Runaway1956> signing up right now may be difficult, they're officially shut down, but accounts aren't expiring
[03:13:31] <Runaway1956> Their service is somewhat reliable
[03:13:12] <Runaway1956> Yes, it is free tedious
[03:13:10] <tedious> What is their service like and what did you have to do to sign up?
[03:12:53] <tedious> Runaway1956: freeznc.ru is obviously free right?

[02:49:32] <progo> it doesn't have an ethernet socket inside a recessed weather protected slot. it has a permanent ethernet cable coming out of it. this is like a $1300 device

[02:41:18] <progo> no, it goes through so much power that the waste heat will keep it clear of snow
[02:40:54] <tedious> I guess it's not going to work very well in the snow either.
[02:40:28] <progo> you can find plenty of griping about it online, and how they give it to you at a price below cost. twice for the initial setup fee. after 2 die, you're screwed
[02:40:08] <tedious> That's dumb then.

[01:14:20] <chromas> I always wondered how they got Chewie from Chewbacca

[01:11:30] <chromas> When do we get the Baby Chewie show?
[00:56:24] <Bytram> Or, Chewbacca is a young wookie, and Han could be the first one (practice model)
