The DMZ

Simon

13:00

pls @AviD a double edit is just pure abuse.

AviD

@Simon you're tempting me

raz

Awwwww yeaaaaaaaaa Linux 4.0 bitches!

Simon

@AviD Because editing abuse isn't in your list of stuff that isn't allowed?

pls

Flyk

@Simon technically...no

Rоry McCune

Cougartown finally collides with Scrubs

►

AviD

13:01

@RоryMcCune found that just now

Flyk

maybe if you were nicer to me, I'd go on a crusade on your behalf

TildalWave

@AviD you actually said something that's both intelligent and funny and nobody starred it before?

AviD

need to find the whole episode

Simon

@Flyk Sounds like it would be worth it to be nice to you.

AviD

@Flyk I'm not nice to you?

Simon

13:02

BUT NOT HAPPENING, MOUAHAHAHA.

TildalWave

or at least flagged? :)

Simon

@AviD She was talking to me, go back into your pyramid.

AviD

heh

Flyk

@AviD yes but as a modrator I am compelled to scream mod abuse and create a whirlwind of trouble if a non-blue whose friendship I value equally or more than yours gets modabused

Rоry McCune

@AviD aaand some more freetime went away

AviD

13:03

@RоryMcCune screw freetime. this is cutting into legit work time now.

Flyk

fortunately, the list of people fitting into the "non-blue whose friendship I value equally or more" in this room is basically... not many people

@RоryMcCune, really

AviD

oh dang!

Flyk

the rest of them are all blues and/or lower friendship level

Rоry McCune

@Flyk if @AviD starts watching a whole new show sure

raz

Looks like I'm gonna be spending the day upgrading my kernel! :D

Arperum

13:05

:(

Flyk

OMG

I'm so sorry @Arperum

you are obviously as high up on the list as @RоryMcCune

which is unique, for an Arqade user

Arperum

\o/ Yay!

Simon

Unpingable is italic though.

That's another category.

Flyk

italics means nothing

Rоry McCune

@Arperum wait you've not established whether being at the same level as me on @Flyk 's chart is good or bad :op

Arperum

13:06

@Flyk That's because I'm special, and crazy in my own unique way.

Flyk

crazy and unique are both good

Simon

@RоryMcCune Did you hear that? She said you're nothing.

TildalWave

@Flyk that's racist!

Rоry McCune

@Simon now now are you trying to stir trouble here

Arperum

Exactly.

Flyk

13:07

@TildalWave italics isn't a race

Simon

@RоryMcCune ME? NEVER!

whistles

Flyk

@RоryMcCune what? @Simon? Causing trouble? That's never happened before...

TildalWave

@Flyk sure they are you even linked to that awful college humor video

Flyk

@TildalWave every college humor video is awful

Terry Chia

@Flyk How dare you?

Flyk

13:08

@TerryChia quite easily, watch this:

Simon

Yesterday: go downtown Montreal, buy TB-3, play with TB-3 until dinner, watch Top Gear, play with TB-3, bed, dreams.

Perfect day.

Flyk

Every. College. Humor. Video. Is. Awful.

@Simon "dreams of TB-3"

Simon

aw yuh

Flyk

"bed with TB-3"

"no donut, sleep on the couch"

TildalWave

@Flyk That's just nitpicking, you actually expected them to be funny? Remember, @AviD loves them!!

Flyk

13:09

"dinner with TB-3"

Simon

This might sound a bit unlikely but I did dream of the TB-3. I was in a store and I was playing with it on the floor.

Flyk

inappropriate abuse of electronics

mental note to self, never touch @Simon's TB-3

Simon

Then I dreamed that I was in some sort of Hunger Games.

I was a rebel.

Flyk

black light that shit before going near it

Simon

IT'S INCREDIBLE

TO BE A REBEL

TildalWave

13:10

@Simon TB-3? Was there a TB-2 I could search for so I don't get a Soviet WWII heavy bomber as a result on Google?

Flyk

TB-3 with a jackson pollock inspired artwork that only shows up with a black light

Simon

@TildalWave I don't think so.

Flyk

@TildalWave "Roland TB-3"

TildalWave

@Flyk I know

Simon

Btw, you can save patterns on it, I dunno why people were complaining.

TildalWave

13:11

@Simon roland.com/products/tb-2

Simon

MISSING PAGE

Flyk

I'm still perfectly happy with my FB383

Rоry McCune

@Flyk yeah it was so out of character for him that I thought it necessary to comment

TildalWave

it says "no longer available" :)

Simon

Aw, I miss it already.

Seeing pictures of it makes me sad.

Flyk

13:13

it takes up a lot of space for what it is

Rоry McCune

camo.githubusercontent.com/…

Flyk

I'm not giving something that creates acid lines that much desk space

Simon

I plugged it into Logic just to see how straightforward it was and for whatever reason, I couldn't hear the sound but the meter was going up as if the notes were played.

Flyk

probably a routing issue

Simon

So, it looks like the DAW was seeing it but not ouputting the beat.

Yeah I think so too. Anyway, I don't need to plug it in yet.

My only complaint is that the volume knob is right next to the cut off one.

Flyk

13:15

well no, what with you not understanding how to use your DAW yet

probably a little soon to be using externally generated sources

Simon

But me loves Acid :(

Also, I like to be hands on very much.

Is someone going to break @AviD's rule?

AviD

I will break someone

Flyk

no

AviD

everyone agrees with it

Flyk

While we all think @AviD just talks nonsense all the time, the overall intention of the rule is pretty good

AviD

13:17

yay!

Simon

Of course it is.

But the fact that he needs to make up the rule is kind of sad.

Flyk

we call it the "anti-Simon rule"

Simon

#me

Flyk

I suppose you could argue that a moderator is abusing their position to oppress you

which is a stance that I would be compelled to back you up on

Simon

@AviD is abusing his position to oppress me.

AviD

13:20

or perhaps the moderator is abusing him in order to enforce the rules.

Simon

Which rules?

AviD

the rules I made up to abuse you?

Simon

lulz

AviD

no no, the rules about keeping this room proper

now shush, I'm on the phone

Flyk

@Simon I have reviewed your complaint and it appears that part of this rule directly oppresses the person who made the rules

Simon

13:21

o

AviD

@Flyk true :-(

raz

CONFIG_USB_TRANCEVIBRATOR is a Linux kernel config option...

Flyk

unfortunately in this instance I am unable to side with you in good faith

@raz yes, I have one of those

Simon

What's funny about this rule is that @AviD was pretty much the only one to abuse of those jokes.

Flyk

it's a peripheral that comes with the game "Rez" and vibrates in time with the music while playing

and it has no purpose that I have been able to find other than as a sex aid

Terry Chia

13:22

> Because the people have spoken, and while most of it was complete
gibberish, numbers don't lie.

This is why I love Linus.

raz

@Flyk Well linux 4.0 supports it!

AviD

@Flyk I feel like the guy who just slid into home and the umpire is waving his arms "SAFE!! SAFE!!"

@Simon I tried to get rid of them via overuse. That didnt work.

Simon

o

Flyk

@raz that's cool, the device shipped with the PlayStation 2 - shows how far behind Linux lags

Simon

That certainly worked for me with "#yolo".

It was a great summer though, not gonna lie.

Flyk

13:24

in all honesty, I wish you had died each time you said YOLO to prove the point

raz

@Flyk I'm not sure it's a new feature. I just never noticed it before.

Flyk

All I'm going to say on the matter is...

Simon

#yolo

Flyk

Sex in games? Rez + Trancevibrator NOT SAFE FOR WORK

AviD

@Flyk YOYOLOO?

Flyk

13:25

(contains picture of a girl using the device)

Simon

@AviD There are a few College Humor videos that I enjoy and that's one of them.

Flyk

I had a lot of fun with my trancevibrator, it made it difficult to concentrate on gaming though

unique method of turning a single player game into a mutliplayer game though

AviD

@Flyk ha! thats funny.

thanks for marking that link as NSFW, btw.

Rоry McCune

daniel.haxx.se/blog/2015/02/23/… <-- good example of the "many eyes make all bugs shallow" fallacy

Flyk

@AviD yeah, I didn't quite think about what I was linking

doesn't contain any actual nudity

I just imagine most employers would O_O if they caught you with it on screen

time to flight of the navigator

AviD

13:32

@Flyk for me its less about employers, its about impressionable kids

Flyk

@AviD sure, nothing wrong with testing the vibration mechanisms in modern electronics

TildalWave

@AviD then explain that it's a mini panties iron

Flyk

every girl I've evern known has

phones, game controllers, etc

subwoofers...

club sound stacks

Terry Chia

@RоryMcCune curl only has 30 vulns over a 16 year period? Impressive!

Rоry McCune

@TerryChia indeed it seems to be well written code, but then the 2100 days average to find ain't good and I'm guessing it's never had a formal code review

so there could be loads more

that aren't on paths that get hit much

AviD

13:37

also, its not exactly high on functionality

Terry Chia

@AviD It deals with a lot of iffy areas though. TLS, HTTP, networking.

Simon

Goal of 2k15: know the difference between good and bad speakers, just by the specs.

That's possible to some extent, right?

AviD

does it actually handle all those areas directly?

@Simon often you can tell just by their slide decks.

Flyk

@Simon sure, just look at the frequency response curve

AviD

e.g. 300 slides with 12 bullet points each, for a 20 minute talk....

Simon

13:39

@Flyk Curve? I feel like that's not usually included in spec sheets.

Terry Chia

@AviD IIRC it links to OpenSSL for TLS but handles all other protocol specific things directly.

AviD

the classic....

Life After Death by PowerPoint 2012 by Don McMillan

►

Flyk

@Simon any good set of speakers will have one available

Terry Chia

@AviD curl also handles much more than just HTTP.

Simon

@Flyk I see.

AviD

13:40

@TerryChia oh really?

didnt know that.

Flyk

@Simon if they have to hide it, ask yourself why

Simon

@Flyk Yeah, like Bose I think doesn't give out their specs?

At least on some headphones.

Flyk

of course, good speakers are bad speakers in the wrong environment

Terry Chia

@AviD FTP, gopher.

Flyk

@Simon bose are a bit end usery

Terry Chia

13:42

@AviD Pretty sure curl does IMAP and POP as well.

AviD

@TerryChia huh, I did not know that.

raz

Curl is pretty awesome

Terry Chia

@AviD ^

All those protocols are directly implemented in libcurl I think.

AviD

hmm, so yeah, I take that back.

Flyk

@Simon basically, I think you're a bit silly buying a TB-3 this early

Simon

13:45

@Flyk Why? It's definitely gonna help me to understand how to make a good pattern.

Flyk

personally, I'd suggest you purchase stuff in this order: Proper soundcard (something by RME maybe), a hardware based volume control that you can put within arms reach (because you mix at a different volume to everything else and you need to be able to change volume instantly without clicking)

speakers

speaker stands that prevent the vibrations from the speakers getting to your desk

Simon

I don't have room for a proper setup.

Flyk

then buy something like hardware synths

then get a UAD DSP card

the thing with the UAD DSP card is the analog simulations that the plugins that come with it do

Simon

TB-3 is not big, I can put it on my laps.

Flyk

much cleaner and nicer than everything that comes with your DAW and pretty much any digital equivalent

Simon

13:47

Yes but in the end, if you're a crap producer, it doesn't matter how fancy your gear is.

Flyk

I'm talking simulated analog compressors, limiters, etc

Simon

I enjoy Acid, I'm having fun with it, which is what I believe is important.

Flyk

@Simon exactly, which is why the difference in sound between a vst/au generated acid line and the real thing doesn't really matter at this stage

Simon

Of course it doesn't but if it makes me feel slightly less overwhelmed by twisting the knobs physically so be it.

AviD

@Simon I think thats why shes saying not to bother with fancy gear.

Simon

13:49

The learning curve of a DAW is awful, and quite demotivating sometimes.

Flyk

@AviD basically, except less of "if you're crap" and more of "if you're still learning"

AviD

@Flyk hey no need to backpedal here

we're all thinking it

Flyk

@AviD I'm not

and you can't

you haven't heard anything he's made to be able to form an opinion

AviD

okay, "assuming" it

Simon

I also feel like I need to come up with a decent Acid line to see if I have potential.

Flyk

13:50

and as somebody who doesn't like dance music, your opinion on the subject is quite irrelevant

Simon

It's also fun to go back in time.

AviD

@Flyk see, thats the point - if he's making hardstyle, its a pretty safe bet to assume its utter crap.

Flyk

@Simon you should probably just arrange 5 minutes of music first

AviD

either its crap as hardstyle, or its crap as music.

Flyk

@AviD yes but "it" being crap doesn't mean that "he" is crap

Simon

13:51

@AviD I'm not making a specific style of music.

It would be a mistake I believe.

Flyk

I thought we weren't randomly insulting people anymore?

Simon

@Flyk That is most-likely true.

AviD

@Simon music is always a specific style.

sometimes more than 1.

Simon

@AviD If you can't think outside of the box, sure.

AviD

@Flyk hey I didnt say THAT

Flyk

13:51

@AviD "specific" and "sometimes more than 1"

yes, that makes sense

AviD

@Simon it doesnt have to be a predefined style

but it always has to have its OWN style

Flyk

jungle-trance-hiphop

Simon

@Flyk Do you understand what he's saying?

AviD

@Flyk heh

Flyk

@Simon no, he's typing words and words are appearing but it just looks like a middle aged man trying to understand

flailing around

AviD

13:52

@Simon I'M SAYING YOUR MUSIC NEEDS TO MAKE UP ITS DAMN MIND AND BE ITS OWN DAMN STYLE

Simon

lulz

@AviD THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING, HENCE WHY I'M NOT STICKING TO ONE STYLE

AviD

not enough damns

Simon

HOW DO YOU WANT TO MAKE UP YOUR OWN STYLE IF YOU DON'T EXPERIENCE OTHER STYLES?

Rоry McCune

@Simon you should do some Sec.SE Style

AviD

@Simon THAT MAKES NO SENSE

Simon

13:53

READ THE NEXT LINE YOU DONUT

Flyk

@RоryMcCune modem tones for five minutes?

Rоry McCune

@Flyk yeah but with a really heavy bass

AviD

@Simon ahhh you mean overall, and I'm talking about any given tune

Flyk

"SH- THEY BREACHED THE FIREWALL" WUBWUBWUB WAAAAAAAAAAAAH NTZ WUBWUBWUB NTZ NTZ WUBWUBWUB WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH NTZ WUBWUBWUB WAWAWAWUBWUBWUB NTZ BOOM WUBWUBWUB WAAAAAAAAAAAH NTZ WUBWUBWUBW

Simon

FFFFFIREWULL

Rоry McCune

13:54

@Flyk exactly, that would be awesome!!!

Simon

TA DADADA NANANANANA

Flyk

OH MY GOD THEY HACKED THE GIBSON

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

AviD

@RоryMcCune is that the dotdotdot song?

it should start with a nice solid beat

Rоry McCune

@AviD nah I think we've moved past that now

AviD

> "dotdotdot... dotdotdot...dotdotdot..."

and then the clashes

Rоry McCune

13:56

@Flyk featuring DJ Canada

sounds like a winner to me

Simon

DJ Eh >

Flyk

"Simon Says Buy This Record - The First Breach"

off you go

followed up by "Simon Says Buy This Record - The First Breach (Name Redacted Remix)"

Name Redacted is actually a really good idea

back soon, trademarking

AviD

oo thats meta

Rоry McCune

@Flyk that is actually a really good idea

AviD

or at least seems that way

@RоryMcCune oo so is "Trademarked"

"our name is Trademarked"

Flyk

14:00

"Blank Space"

Rоry McCune

@AviD heh

Flyk

"Simon Says Dance"

I'm sure there would be trademark issues with "Simon Says"

Rоry McCune

@Flyk BTW I take it you're aware of nerdcore music? (DJ Frontalot and that lot)

Flyk

nerdcore?

Simon

lulz

Flyk

14:01

no

it's a hiphop subgenre

Rоry McCune

MC Frontalot - Power User

►

Simon

I feel like the first track of the genre Nerdcore should be called "There's no place like 127.0.0.1"

Flyk

oh, Simon Says Dance is probably a trademark unto itself

Arperum

@TerryChia Uhm...

AviD

within their "DPA", whatever that is. I am curious what the P stands for .

ha! okay I just got that.

MOAR COFFEEE

I think the real message here, is that 'merkans need more coffee in their starbucks.

Flyk

now I really want a starbucks

Ohnana

@AviD 5 cups a day?!

what the fuck I get withdrawals after 1/day

i'd rather have a mug of milk in the morning...

Flyk

need more coffee

I have probably 10 cups a day most

at least 5

I'm on my fourth today

AviD

14:15

@Ohnana the withdrawal is your imagination

Simon

@Ohnana pls

You think Rihanna wakes up and drink milk? Nah man, nah.

Ohnana

@AviD not when I get headaches and shakes every saturday afternoon....

@Simon then she can piss off

Simon

@Ohnana :O

raz

@AviD What about a Starbucks across the street from a Starbucks?

It'd be the center of the universe...

Flyk

@raz I would definitely walk out of one and straight into the other

I don't like this movie

Simon

14:25

I wouldn't, I'm not some crazy donut.

Flyk

it has properly bored me to death

Simon

TWSS

Flyk

@AviD

this is your last chance, after this there is no turning back

@Simon nothing destroys a man's ego more than saying "oh, you've finished?" during sex

except maybe "is it in?"

Simon

Don't forget the "yet".

Flyk

"sigh I'm glad that's over"

Rоry McCune

14:30

@AviD looks like you have an enforcement action to do...

Flyk

just goes to show that @AviD didn't mean what he said

maybe we should stop taking him seriously and treat everything he says with this lack of care

well, I say "stop"

probably giving him too much credit

Ohnana

@raz I have three starbucks near me. I can stand near one and see the other two

Rоry McCune

@Flyk this may be useful to you in your movie wanderings agoodmovietowatch.com

Simon

You're useful.

Rоry McCune

@Simon ta

Ohnana

14:40

@Simon awwww... wait.

Simon

Shuffler keeps cueing Knife Party.

Love you, Shuffler.

AviD

@Simon oh now see, a Dunkin Donuts right across the street from a Dunkin Donuts. That is like an infinite ping.

@Flyk @Simon ohhh maaan, I was out. now its too late.

@Simon you're on notice.

Simon

Sounds like high school all over again.

Flyk

@RоryMcCune if I wanted to do that, I'd work through IMDB

Rоry McCune

@Flyk seemed like a rather more targeted version of random wandering, but you're right probably just best to work off DMZ suggestions, as we're awesome at movies

AviD

14:54

Sneakers is actually a good movie on its own, without the geek stuff.

It's got Redford.

Simon

The DMZ is so boring now that I don't get insulted.

You guys suck.

AviD

nope, not gonna work.

watch that instead.

@Simon your sense of humor is what made the DMZ boring
