[03:47:26] <aristarchus> I would like to complain. Even NotSanguine has noticed that there is rampant and unrestrained censorship taking place on SN. I, for one, find this disturbing. I am sure drussell feels the same. End the Reign of Terror censorship, janrinok, else the legal threats will be realized. Operating as an unregistered Russian agent of
[03:47:26] <aristarchus> influence? Banning Runaway1956 is not nearly enough. Liability!!!

[08:06:17] <janrinok> and he has logged out again.....

[08:20:20] * janrinok wanders away to the shower laughing
[08:23:15] <aristarchus> Yes, I have received Runaway's email. Not sure what you want me to do with it, though.
[08:32:43] <aristarchus> Can we have an official list of the publically identifiable and legally responsible temporary board members, some time soon? Or is the a bit of the La Costa Nostra? Normandy Mafia? SoylentCrimen? Mictlāntēcutli?
[08:42:28] * Ingar runs backups
[08:43:34] <Ingar> it's going to suck, need to archive two timelapses and two moon sequences
[08:43:52] <Ingar> that's some serious geegahbytes
[08:44:11] <janrinok> how many geegahbytes?
[08:44:54] <janrinok> do you backup over a network, to a SSD, or to spinning rust?
[08:46:23] <Ingar> I have a file server and a backup server (both have spinning rust), using rsync to copy the data
[08:46:39] <Ingar> +150GiB to go
[08:46:43] <janrinok> lol
[08:47:21] <Ingar> e.g. that telescope timelapse had more than 8000 images
[08:48:06] <Ingar> for the moon only around a thousand, but they're RAW
[08:48:41] <Ingar> I'll need to upgrade my storage this year
[08:56:45] <aristarchus> Running a couple of 128 gig micro-SD cards with the Astroberry system. Yep, gotta relieve the pressure every so often.
[09:00:22] -!- halibut has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
[09:03:17] <chromas> 1.21 jiggabytes!
[09:11:34] <aristarchus> Data and energy are separate metrics. I expected more from you, chromas!
[09:31:16] <Runaway> janrinok, I got home about 7, 7 1/2 hours ago, exhausted, and fell into bed. About 1/2 hour ago, I saw your email.
[09:31:40] <janrinok> np
[09:40:27] <aristarchus> I am so relieved that Runaway has seen Janrinok's email! Where do we go from here? Will we be informed about what Bad Words the racist bastard deployed, to get banned? Will be be able to know how much sucking up to janrinok he will have to do to be restored? Arkansas has declared a State of Emergency, since the Sun is about the be eaten by
[09:40:27] <aristarchus> a Large Celestial Demon on Monday. Shirley has something to do with the banishment of Runaway1956.

[17:58:25] <chromas> not sure how that game is supposed to work. looks like I can drag a cog from the output but it won't go anywhere
[18:00:44] <chromas> ah, now that I said that, I tried the settings button which isn't a settings button
[18:02:24] <fab23> chromas: if you have only one color of balls, they need to go into the "Exit", click on the wrench symbol on top right and you get tools you can add to help with directing the balls
[18:03:00] <fab23> if they are multiple color of balls, you need to separate them into the designated exit :)
[18:06:56] <chromas> Well usually on computers the wrench icon means settings and not tools so I hadn't even bothered to click it yet:)
[18:07:31] <fab23> and the "View Machine" on bottom right shows you an example :)
[18:07:57] <fab23> sometimes its quite simple to direct them properly
[18:51:07] <drussell> I always thought that xkcd was kinda like playing around building logic circuits in Rocky's Boots on the Apple ][...

[21:28:48] <AlwaysNever2> Hello there, this is written from a laptop running Solaris 9, lets see how it goes...
[21:29:10] <AlwaysNever> Talking to myself: it goes well so far
[21:29:41] <AlwaysNever2> An A with an accent: a
[21:29:55] <AlwaysNever> nop
[21:30:03] <requerdanos> Here it is: á
[21:31:18] <AlwaysNever> hmmm, I'm in ISO-8859-1 codepage, you A with accent does not display properly here, requerdanos
[21:31:42] <chromas> switch to utf-8
[21:32:16] <AlwaysNever> No, I dislike it, and I only do thing I dislike if they pay well
[21:32:20] <requerdanos> I ám súré ít shóúld wórk.
[21:33:53] <AlwaysNever> I ám súré ít shóúld wórk.
[21:34:13] <AlwaysNever> that's how it reads here....
[21:34:53] <chromas> yep. correctly
[21:38:11] <chromas> Turn on the compose key, then you can go <compose> a ' to get the character more easilier

[21:41:05] <AlwaysNever2> ,;.:-_[]{}\|@#~ I can write ASCII no problem
[21:41:30] <AlwaysNever2> but extended characters above 127 are not registering in ircII on Solaris 9 x86
[21:41:59] <AlwaysNever2> however they do register outside of ircII, so looks like a problem/limitarion of this build of ircII
[21:43:58] <AlwaysNever2> I will try from a local xterm, instead of from a remote SSH session...
