9:00 PM

@ScottPack I wouldn't post a gif of someone getting shot in the head point blank with a shotgun.

@ewwhite BUT IT'S DARK! Black is sexy and all, but it absorbs all the light.

Buncha new Gen8 ProLiants... I should test the XFS issue for @DennisKaarsemaker

@mossy Guns are ranged weapons - if you intend to to harm someone with one stay at least 6' away from them.

@ewwhite XFS issue?

Q: HP DL380p Gen8 (p420i controller) I/O oddity on XFS partitions

On DL380p gen8 servers using XFS on top of LVM on top of raid 1+0 with 6 disks, an identical workload results in a ten-fold increase in disk writes on RHEL 6 compared to RHEL 5, making applications unusable. Note that I'm not looking at optimizing the co6 system as much as possible, but at under...

hp centos6 rhel6 smartarray xfs

@ewwhite @ward @WesleyDavid app.strava.com/activities/51596037 good ride tonight

9:08 PM

@ewwhite Do you know the magic to ask a block device in Linux to report back it's ideal write size (stripe width)?

@Iain You do it up big.

@MikeyB naw... never need to deal with it

"The newer xfs in rhel 8 seems to be able to detect underlying stripe width, but only on p420i controllers using the hpsa driver, not p410i controllers using cciss."

Dennis Kaarsemaker

@MikeyB there's an ioctl for that

@DennisKaarsemaker blockdev --getioopt /dev/foo

9:11 PM

@ChrisS yeah, not too sure what that guy was thinking.

Hope he got shot in the foot after that.

@WesleyDavid that was a fun ride tonight

Dennis Kaarsemaker

@MattBear brilliant!

9:22 PM

Today I learned something new, and I would like to share it with you guys.

My day started off like this:

He then linked me to a guide on how to train your cat to poop in the toilet.

And today, I have decided that I need a cat.

Going to petsmart after work :)

@mossy you can have one of mine

free?

yes

And our daily check of Slayer-Productions... oh noes their email server is down! http://slayer-productions.com/billing/?/news/view/5/email-servers-down-/

deal.

9:24 PM

And yes, I still check their site daily. =)

cool, whats your address :p

hahah

@ChrisS, I don't understand your question about a DC?

@mossy Are... are you Ryan Gosling...?!

Steps to shipping a cat:
1) Blender.
2) Pour cat into plastic bag.
3) Priority mail flat rate box.

9:25 PM

@MarkHenderson yes.

@Zoredache Your screen shot looks like you're RDP'd into a server that doesn't support the Desktop Experience thing... That or your hate Aero. or you're still running XP....

No, we have a terminal server setup purely for remote administration of everything.

It doesn't have any of that desktop experience stuff.

@mossy Stay away from my wife then please, she will fuck you faster than you can get your cock out. And then I'll be forced to leave her and run away with WesleyDavid

Interesting...

Well, I'm off to the bar. Have a good one everyone!

@MarkHenderson I... am not sure how to respond to that.

9:27 PM

and I'm off to bed - laters

@mossy in that case, come take mine too, so that I can run off as well

take her, and her fucking cats

@mossy Well if you really are Ryan Gosling, I suspect you would know all about it. So I call fraud!

Note to self: Don't get married. Sounds terrifying.

Dennis Kaarsemaker

@mossy neh, it's fun

just don't get married to a cat.

What if it shits in a toilet

9:30 PM

Can you guys get to laspecialty.com ?

yeah

just switched my Cisco ASA to Gigabit uplink to the webz

@DennisKaarsemaker cat generally leaves you alone if you leave it alone, and when its bitching about shit, a little water makes it go away

@DennisKaarsemaker and if the water doesnt work, throw its ass outside, or kill it, who cares, its a cat

Alright guys, off to find a cat.

Have a nice night.

just try any of that with a wife....

9:32 PM

@MarkHenderson tell you wife i said hi.

@MattBear you too

@mossy sure

Dennis Kaarsemaker

Ryan Mossling...

@MarkHenderson BRB BRIBING RYAN GOSLING!!

@WesleyDavid I suspect there is a long queue

today is SO slow

no chat

no news

9:38 PM

@mossy Sad and scary. I concur. Let's be single grumpy old men next door neighbors and trade pot shots from M1 Garands.

@ewwhite Does that place still need a new website: One word: JAVA.

Full site java app.

I'll design their site in Java with scrolling text and Clippy.

@WesleyDavid Haha we added clippy to our software as an easter egg

In your profile page there's a tickbox that says "be aweome" and when you tick it, it loads clippy

Well actually it loads Lynx, the cat

:(

Tell me why that never took off. Seriously.

A train with a fucking jet engine. They should just attach jet engines to everything.

@MarkHenderson probably because of fire?

9:52 PM

@MarkHenderson Seems like that'd be kinda noisy inside the passenger cars...

@David Fuck fire. It has a jet engine. Worth it.

2

@freiheit I can't imagine it'd be any more noisy than being behind the engine in an airplane

@MarkHenderson probably set itself on fire

and everything around it

Haha after they de-commissioned that train, guess what they did with the jet engines

Put them on a fucking snow blower

Dennis Kaarsemaker

attached them to a car?

@MarkHenderson Efficiency. They're great if the train doesn't stop. They're a huge waste of fuel at partial power.

9:55 PM

I see why some people love America so much

@MarkHenderson See, now that's a good use for a jet turbine.

What kind of country takes the jet engines from a bomber, puts them on a train, and then puts them on a snow blower

Dennis Kaarsemaker

@MarkHenderson 'murica!

@DennisKaarsemaker Or Russia. But yes. 'muricah!

Dennis Kaarsemaker

America! Fuck yeah!

10:23 PM

licks @freiheit

@WesleyDavid Over here, kitty

@freiheit I see you follow me around on weekends. -.-

@WesleyDavid No, I just read the police blotters

@DennisKaarsemaker That was the movie we showed at the office's going away party when our whole team got cut a few ago. Was magnificent on a 30' expanse of whitewall with 200w speakers. =D

Beer pong, Pizza, and Team America. Fuck Yeah!

Dennis Kaarsemaker

@Adrian we showed it as "fuck you, it's dec. 31st and we ain't doing shit today" last year.

10:37 PM

@freiheit I am going to have nightmares now, thanks

Dennis Kaarsemaker

user image

@DennisKaarsemaker See now that's just hot

:9219837 Fine, here's some no sound nightmares

@freiheit Oh god...

#10 freaked me the fuck out

10:42 PM

Also: scp-wiki.net/scp-1981

@freiheit One of my friends thought the SCP wiki was real

:D

@freiheit This is satire, right?

@MarkHenderson It's fun fiction yes

@JoelESalas Does he think that They Live is a documentary?

@MarkHenderson scp-wiki.net/how-to-write-an-scp

Dennis Kaarsemaker

While the majority of your feedback will be cruel, depraved, RAMBLING scatological comments about your mother and ancestors, some will be helpful. - Sounds like the comms room to me...

11:03 PM

@freiheit When the acid kicks in... you know it.

11:30 PM

I'm getting in some quality fucking around

11:46 PM

rather quiet in here today
