4:00 AM
You are more than welcome here
 
well, shit, now there's 4 or 5 of us in the greater Seattle area
 
Well, I'm not currently under any active employment contract.
 
so I looked at the oil pan on my pal's truck today and it had like a waffle pattern on the bottom. never seen one like that before
 
@MarkHenderson yep (although I used to).
 
@RyJones I feel like I have...
 
Maybe
 
2009 ford escape
 
Not that pronounced
 
I may be 15 but I'm just as angry at large corporations as a 30-year old
 
Passive cooling?
 
4:02 AM
@ScottPack we couldn't figure out any other reason for it
 
Also, pretty dang clean under there.
 
@strugee Trust me, you're not. Just wait until you accidentally get your wages garnished because your name is the same as someone else's.
 
Woah, it's also a shockingly small surface area as well.
 
@JoelESalas - I finally found a copy of the investment account breakdown
 
yeah, I've seen finned pans, never waffled
 
4:03 AM
Or you spend 6 months with your payroll people paying taxes to the wrong city.
 
@Wesley that's true. I meant on a less personally-relevant level
 
@ScottPack Story time uncle Scotty?
Looks at star wall Someone kick @strugee before we all get arrested.
 
@Wesley I live in the tax zone of one city, but have an address and am in the school district of another. It wasn't until tax time that I realized they were paying out to the city of my address and not of my residence.
 
4:05 AM
@ScottPack I had a similar problem that cost me a lot of money to fix
so, married guys, this guy I know just got divorced. You should know, in the US anyway, everything changes at 25 years.
he's on the hook for $2400 a month for 7 years
 
@RyJones It's all together weird anyway, since I work in one city but live in another my work city is getting most of the taxes and the leftovers go to where I live.
@RyJones As opposed to life, yeah. That's standard alimony settlements in Ohio at least.
So I imagine I'll be filing with both cities. One will be a 100% refund, one will be a 100% payout each of the same amount of cash.
 
@RyJones That's half my salary
 
@MarkHenderson It depends on your salary, her life situation, and kids.
 
I think my Socrates reference was too subtle
 
@MarkHenderson it's about 1/3 his
 
4:09 AM
@strugee Interfemeral sex?
 
@ScottPack that's a picture of Socrates being forced to drink poison. he was put to death for "corrupting the youth"
 
Art History was in the humanities.
 
@strugee we're heathens
 
I never made it into that building.
Hell, even my time as a theatre major was in a different college.
 
@RyJones ? I was talking about @Wesley wanting me to get kicked to save you all from being arrested. hence "corrupting the youth"
 
4:14 AM
@strugee yeah, I'm not as dumb as you think I am. Thanks.
 
Hey @JoelESalas. You come in to talk about semen too?
 
@RyJones I am
 
@MarkHenderson I'm dumber.
 
@ScottPack ???
 
@RyJones sorry, didn't mean to offend you
 
4:16 AM
(But apparently I can still be a Jr Q/A guy, amirite @RyJones?)
 
@JoelESalas Just look at the starwall and decide if you want to read the transcript.
 
@Wesley you have what it takes, bro
 
@RyJones Something that passes for a pulse?
 
I can cover it again. Show up sober, bathed, on time, don't start fistfights
that filters out most junior testers
 
@RyJones Well, I need to sew up all this crap tonight. Then I will probably literally sleep all day tomorrow after all this emotional energy being spent angry, and now realizing that even my back invoices probably won't get paid.
 
4:17 AM
@Wesley Your solarwinds interview made you sound quite smart
You must have conducted the interview over email
 
@MarkHenderson I paid someone to do it for me. =P
@MarkHenderson Oh absolutely.
 
@Wesley yeah, don't worry about that
 
It's just a little awkward that his website is on one of my servers and he has a four drive QNAP in my rack.
 
@Wesley Confiscated as payment
 
@Wesley no it isn't. here's your server, bitch, yeah science!
 
4:19 AM
(jk don't do that)
 
@MarkHenderson That would almost assuredly end up with him attempting legal recourse. Since no contract is in place, we're both in a Mexican standoff, daring the other to try to prove anything. I think we'll just walk away and I'll get him for $100 a month in hosting via paypal until I get an address to ship it to.
 
@Wesley where is he located? too far to drop it on his porch?
 
@RyJones What's sad is that I think he had a good idea, it was just so terribly mismanaged and he has no idea the cost of doing business. Sad to see a potentially good idea just ran into the ground.
@RyJones He lives with his wife on a south pacific island, his "business" (if it's even incorporated which I now doubt) is supposedly in Las Vegas. I know it's just a one man show, but I thought he had a home in Vegas where he used to live with his first wife.
 
so what? good riddance to bad rubbish
 
The thing is, that QNAP has the very product that his paying customers demand. So if it's off for even just a few hours, he hears about it and that would probably spur him to some kind of legal action.
 
4:22 AM
people whiff executing on good ideas all the time
 
@RyJones yep, me included.
 
@Wesley he should have paid his bills.
 
@RyJones No. fucking. shit.
Makes me so mad.
But, I'm more mad at myself.
 
@RyJones I was truly planning on brining that scene up to him on the phone convo. "I don't care about your business. I don't care about your future. I do good work, I get paid. I get paid on my terms, on my time frame. Did you ever see Goodfellas?"
But now, no phone convo. Only email so that it's documented and all icy pseudo-legalize.
 
4:24 AM
@Wesley good idea
 
And yes that mike monterio video is awesome. I've watched it more times than my stupid decisions would allow you to believe.
 
bro I had three kids with a crazy woman
 
@RyJones Why
 
@JoelESalas see star wall: I do not make good decisions
 
@RyJones Hahahahaha
 
4:28 AM
I love my kids, but honestly, if my ex stepped on a landmine I would send flowers to the manufacturer of the company
 
@RyJones Remind me not to bring you on a mission trip to cambodia
 
I'd like a holiday in Cambodia
 
@RyJones I was thinking "Well you do apparently have a lot of jizz" and then read "Oh... right... the decisions thing. Gotcha."
@RyJones Do you have custody?
 
A side effect of jizz is penis. Tends to hinder custody hearings.
 
@Wesley 50/50 but the kids live with her and spend a week or two here a year
 
4:32 AM
@RyJones Do you guys live nearby?
 
@ScottPack 6 hour drive
 
ugh
 
we used to alternate weekends, but then her car died, and I'm not buying her another one
 
@Wesley hugs
 
{{{@ewwhite}}}
Brohug.
 
4:38 AM
Fuck brohugs. Either hug or don't.
 
@ScottPack Embrace me, my love.
 
That's what I'm talking about
 
YOU GUYS!!!!!!
@ScottPack and what's this about bromosexuals now?
 
@voretaq7 Not really. I've just always found the manhug thing silly.
Hug or don't. Don't hug but then make yourself feel less homo by keeping a handshake in between you.
 
@voretaq7 holy crap
I wonder how anyone got those images
 
4:54 AM
@strugee If they're anything liuke the PNG army they make you delete the photos from the camera, but didn't confiscate the memory card so you just undelete them later
 
@MarkHenderson ah. right.
but I wonder why they would let cameras in at all
 
@strugee I'm kidding it looks like the guy was clearly escorted and permitted to take photos
 
@MarkHenderson ...right. I knew that...
 
Those animated gifs shit me though
They are not necessary
Also you can clearly see someone taking a photo with an iPhone in one of the shots
 
yeah it took me a good2 minutes to load that page
s/good2/good 2/
 
5:00 AM
@strugee there is an edit button on chat messages
 
Also the up key.
 
@RyJones there's also a timeout
 
should have ordered pizza an hour ago
 
Ok
You have 10 seconds to destroy this guy before I delete

Q: What does the Westhill Consulting British Columbia provide to clients in terms of quality and standard features of townhome living?

user211029The new Grob Court Townhomes are now available at Westhills. They provide a great opportunity to purchase a new home starting in the mid $300’s (incl. net GST). A few of the outstanding features that come standard in these beautiful homes are luxury geo-exchange in-floor radiant heating througho...

Too slow
 
@MarkHenderson I have 98 flags available now. How many do you want and how fast?
 
5:11 AM
@Wesley 98?
What are you going to do with 98 flags?
 
@MarkHenderson DONE!
@MarkHenderson Stick them in your ear?
 
Please don't
 
5:23 AM
@strugee That coverage was authorized.
 
@voretaq7 right. I figured that out.
but thanks :P
 
Wow, awk:
supermathie@tiefighter11:~$ time awk '/POST/ && /POST \/message-bus/ {print;}' /var/log/haproxy/haproxy-info.log | wc -l
2688018

real	0m2.158s
user	0m1.816s
sys	0m0.960s
supermathie@tiefighter11:~$ time grep -F -c POST /var/log/haproxy/haproxy-info.log
2854409

real	0m22.071s
user	0m21.861s
sys	0m0.200s
 
Yuppers.
awk is your friend.
Did you see my neckbeard grognard post about unique sorting?
 
Yeah I love using awk, but I had no idea it would kick grep's ass quite like that. 10% of the time? Sign me up.
Also, a 30s metric that takes 22s of CPU time to calculate is… suboptimal.
@ScottPack link?
 
Give me a moment. @Wesley's blog is running my laptop at 100% and about to blow a fan bearing.
 
5:33 AM
@ScottPack Is it hosted on buzzfeed or something?
 
I don't know what garbage this thing runs on. Probably Drupal.
 
@ScottPack Smells wordpress-ish?
 
@ScottPack he's a cat. What do you expect?
 
@ShaneMadden It is. I don't know what's more busted, his blog or this laptop.
 
@ScottPack Oh right I think I submitted my python solution. :)
checked out ghost.org? I'm trying it out now.
 
5:35 AM
@ScottPack Option C: his bike.
Octopress looks interesting.
Just spit out some damn static pages.
 
I never put much effort into really tweaking it. It was to serve an immediate goal.
 
I'm in the middle of a website redesign project on drupal (again) for the second time in 10 months.
My patience for Drupal is exceedingly low at the moment.
 
Hm. I thought I put it on github. I need to do that.
I had added some extra features since that post.
 
Also having to resist telling the development vendor,
"Bro, do you even Drupal?"
 
@ShaneMadden Looks neat as well
 
5:44 AM
@MikeyB The hell is this crap.
=P
 
@Wesley not Wordpress.
 
@MikeyB Yeah, I'm intrigued.
I had looked at octopress too.
I've got so much meta-stuffs in Wordpress I wonder what I'd lose in the migration.
That and permalinks.
 
6:10 AM
celery
 
Night, m'loves.
 
6:38 AM
morning chpas
 
6:52 AM
morning
oh, even though no one's really here right now, I gotta ask:
where does come from?
 
@strugee markdown is the syntax language to do stuff like this
 
@pauska right I know that. but why on earth would you stick it into a room tag?
 
@strugee because in here it's not uncommon to see someone fail when they try to use it
 
@pauska ah. that's unfortunate
 
I have no idea.. maybe the ghandi quote?
 
7:01 AM
maybe someone will come by and enlighten us
 
enlightenment is rare in the comms room
3
we're more of the stubbornly ploughing through kind :)
 
@strugee If you try to do anything even moderately complicated in markdown the chat version screws up ...
especially over multiple lines
G'day btw
 
gotcha
 
Train wifi is sucky today :/
 
Here's what's wrong with the young sysadmin that we see all the time on SF. I answered a question by quoting the manuals.
they came back with
> Any way, May i ask to describe them more by operations
my response
> I decline. I will leave that as an excercise for you to improve your searching skills
and they came back with
> Thank you for giving me that opportunity for improving my skills, but Please just tell what dose operations means as a unit in that key
Typing that sentence was harder than asking google the question
@DennisKaarsemaker At least you have it
 
7:26 AM
@Iain young sysadmin or indian.. or both..
They share a common mindset.. aka "Please give me the exact instructions to solve this, step-by-step. Please make it a number one priority."
 
@pauska that's not it. close, but the fundamental mindset is really "these people have the job of being on this website; they are paid to help me"
IMHO
 
I don't know about either really ... junior would perhaps have been a better word
but I'm buggered if I'm going to give them that info
 
Morning
 
@strugee Or "This wasn't in the textbook I memorised. HALP"
 
@JourneymanGeek because memorizing limited subsets of information for limited situations is apparently a substitute for actually being able to think and RTFM in context
 
7:32 AM
@strugee: I'm sad to say in the subcontinent, thats often seen as true ;p
 
Actually they have more rep on SO which by my definition makes them a Dev - explains it all really
 
@strugee Oh man! you're younger than me?
 
@Utkarsh how old are you?
 
see my profile and you will come to know :P
 
@JourneymanGeek It happens all over the world, sad to say
 
7:33 AM
and to think that I just gave a speech on thinking for yourself.
 
O.O
 
@Utkarsh I'm older than you
15
 
@strugee lol, what's your age?
 
my profile's age is accurate
 
(and thats the wonderful thing about the internet. So much information, but only if you're willing to learn how to use it)
 
7:36 AM
@JourneymanGeek indeed
 
@strugee and mine?
I'm 94 year old
 
@Utkarsh right, I just assumed that yours was a lie
and that the one in your description is right
 
unless I'm parsing your last sentence incorrectly
 
lol
@strugee He He
I forgot!
 
7:40 AM
I am so confused
 
@strugee how?
 
@Utkarsh I don't know. it's very late here
what did you forget?
 
Can we help this guy out and chuck some close votes on serverfault.com/questions/578646/… please
 
he asked the same question on SU
 
@strugee to change my description lol
 
7:42 AM
@JourneymanGeek yeah after he found out that here wasn't the correct place to ask
 
@JourneymanGeek how much important 146$ are? for you?
 
@Utkarsh are you sure that you're in the right bar mate?
6
 
@pauska aoh! posted in wrong room! sorry man :P
I was supposed to ask this in RA
 
Wouldn't have made sense there too
 
then?
<------------------playing Flappy bird
 
7:53 AM
oh god
 
@Utkarsh flapmmo.com
 
8:12 AM
search for "construction"
yup

9:09 AM
'sup
 
SUPWITCHOO YO
 
Dan
Hungry and bored
 
Morning effers
 
9:31 AM
sigh
 
This has not gone well. A week to do a domain migration is not enough.
 
Dan
@tombull89 ........
Why wouldn't you wait until summer for that kind of messing about?
 
because this whole fecking project was rushed through as fast as possible and now we're paying the price.
 
why are you doing such things at all?
 
9:48 AM
Really...I don't know why it was needed. It was all working fine and the only thing we really needed was enhance wifi capacity
 
@tombull89 :-(

your new bosses are apparently barking mad.
 
Dan
You've been dicked, basically
 
My boss is still here for another 10 days
when he goes it'll be turned up to 11.
 
@tombull89 You could show your contempt by interviewing for another company.
This blade server supports up to 60 processor cores, 6.0 TB of memory (using 64-GB DIMMs), 4.8 TB of internal storage, and 320 Gbps of overall Ethernet throughput.
 
This is what happens when people who don't understand technology are allowed to make technical decisions by themselves.
