| 6:58:05 PM | SashaR | IT's going to be great!
|
| 6:58:27 PM | revdjenk | RobShad: and jeff! hey and hearty hello
|
| 6:58:29 PM | agamotto | SashaR: Ah... mine was a simple cold, thankfully. I am just getting tired of them. This last was the fourth this season...
|
| 6:58:36 PM | SashaR | ugh
|
| 6:58:37 PM | TheFu | Ready for a Zombie apocalypse? https://www.cdc.gov/phpr/zombie/index.htm
|
| 6:59:28 PM | agamotto | Thankfully, I have never been thrown into a ditch, but I have had a few unintended spin-outs
|
| 6:59:38 PM | Marshman | SashaR: what about your joke of the week?
|
| 6:59:53 PM | SashaR | oh yeah!!! I almost forgot all about that!
|
| 7:02:40 PM | agamotto | Does Canada have Building Societies/Credit Unions?
|
| 7:02:56 PM | SashaR | We have credit unions
|
| 7:03:04 PM | agamotto | Ok, thought so
|
| 7:06:35 PM | agamotto | Following so far...
|
| 7:07:44 PM | agamotto | Just don't bother investing in Bitcoin, etc... until something matures... sheesh
|
| 7:08:15 PM | lichenx1 | remember the expensive btc pizzas?
|
| 7:08:48 PM | TheFu | So liability will be on the bank's side, not the end-user?
|
| 7:09:05 PM | TheFu | Does it matter if the client is an individual or a business? In the USA, it matters.
|
| 7:10:44 PM | agamotto | I would like to have it all condensed down to a card/device like TekWar... full encryption, 2FA of somekind built-in...
|
| 7:12:00 PM | agamotto | In a decent setup, wouldn't every transaction have its own "key,", so to speak?
|
| 7:12:38 PM | TheFu | I have no interest in using any "device" for spending money. The least secure devices I have are smartphones or tablets.
|
| 7:12:52 PM | TheFu | well ... and 1 router that can't be patched.
|
| 7:13:15 PM | agamotto | TheFu: Agreed, but if the devices were "open" for the purpose of securing... it could improve things
|
| 7:14:21 PM | TheFu | Security is hard, for what is really just an advertising platform that happens to let users gain some small amount of convenience.
|
| 7:14:29 PM | agamotto | keyboarding cadence?
|
| 7:15:13 PM | TheFu | As soon as the attackers know cadence is being used, they can target that method for authentication.
|
| 7:15:48 PM | agamotto | TheFu: True, but with multiple forms of checking, who knows?
|
| 7:16:20 PM | TheFu | A consistent, API for all banking should help the smaller guys, but not the big-boys. The huge banks will likely fight against any open API to make entering the market expensive.
|
| 7:17:19 PM | TheFu | agamotto: I always lie for those "personal questions" like high school mascot - actually I don't just lie, I use 60+ character, random, passphrases.
|
| 7:17:53 PM | agamotto | Myself, I could settle for something that does my infrared eye-print, fingerprint, and a passphrase. The odds of someone having all three of those would stop most...
|
| 7:18:18 PM | agamotto | TheFu: I like the way you think...
|
| 7:18:51 PM | TheFu | agamotto: Using biometrics is a failure. Once that data is leaked, you cannot change it. That is a terrible password policy.
|
| 7:18:55 PM | agamotto | Which reminds me, I need to alter my Patreon contributions. I went in with VPN on, and am getting charged VAT for a country I don't live in...
|
| 7:22:12 PM | Garbee[m] | Web Payments API FTW
|
| 7:22:17 PM | TheFu | POS has a 3+% overhead so MC, VISA, Amex, all get their middle-man payment.
|
| 7:23:01 PM | TheFu | Hopefully, they will look at the German privacy laws.
|
| 7:25:15 PM | TheFu | I still prefer cash.
|
| 7:25:33 PM | agamotto | Same here, but can't use it online... chuckle
|
| 7:26:41 PM | agamotto | It helps when the phlegm isn't congealing like hairballs
|
| 7:27:35 PM | TheFu | agamotto: I use a pre-paid card for non-traceable online purchases - things that don't require physical delivery.
|
| 7:28:38 PM | Garbee[m] | haha, "Two weeks ago we had grass"
|
| 7:28:42 PM | revdjenk | We've had rain, freezing rain and wet snow, which didn't have an opportunity to build up
|
| 7:28:52 PM | agamotto | SashaR: Perhaps "Artificial Consciousness"
|
| 7:28:55 PM | TheFu | I was in shorts yesterday.
|
| 7:28:59 PM | Solbu | Isn't minatour a Star Trek fanshow? :-)
|
| 7:29:15 PM | Marshman | In NY we have snow coated with ice.
|
| 7:30:19 PM | TheFu | So as BTC plummets, you guys make a little?
|
| 7:30:28 PM | revdjenk | TheFu: I like cash, but use it to control the charge card... paid off at the end of the month
|
| 7:30:35 PM | revdjenk | ...normally
|
| 7:30:50 PM | agamotto | SashaR: Is Robbie going to cover how to keep people from dropping miners into your web browser in the near future?
|
| 7:31:14 PM | TheFu | agamotto: Just don't allow javascript.
|
| 7:31:24 PM | agamotto | TheFu: That simple?
|
| 7:31:47 PM | revdjenk | chromecast
|
| 7:32:53 PM | revdjenk | SashaR: I've seen your one episode several times... ahem
|
| 7:33:39 PM | SashaR | I want to do more too!!!
|
| 7:33:49 PM | TheFu | agamotto: there might be ways around it, but most browser-based BTC mining will use JS, so no body will bother with the other methods.
|
| 7:35:28 PM | TheFu | India (govt) blocks some of my websites. No idea why. They are family friendly-ish.
|
| 7:38:17 PM | agamotto | Civet coffee?
|
| 7:38:22 PM | lichenx1 | kopi luwak
|
| 7:38:51 PM | TheFu | Cheetah or Leppard?
|
| 7:39:09 PM | Marshman | I am so glad I don't drink coffee
|
| 7:39:32 PM | TheFu | I hear it is really, really, smooth.
|
| 7:40:59 PM | agamotto | You can also do it with tomato leaves... nightshade
|
| 7:41:20 PM | lichenx1 | Robbie is gonna buy 10,000 apples
|
| 7:41:22 PM | Garbee[m] | SashaR: Ask him why he knows that about apple seeds.
|
| 7:41:48 PM | Garbee[m] | Why do you need to know how many it will take to kill yourself?
|
| 7:42:02 PM | agamotto | Don't forget the blender/juicer
|
| 7:42:08 PM | Marshman | Jeff needs help
|
| 7:42:59 PM | lichenx1 | SashaR, explains it in a way where you just crave that next pot of coffee
|
| 7:45:31 PM | Marshman | Next week is Valentine's day
|
| 7:46:03 PM | SashaR | That it is!!! :):)
|
| 7:47:20 PM | TheFu | Hey - the brick wall is back!
|
| 7:47:44 PM | SashaR | And now I can wear green !!
|
| 7:47:47 PM | TheFu | Did I miss the 4K video camera selection show?
|
| 7:48:17 PM | Marshman | Brick wall for three hosts Cat5 background for two hosts
|
| 7:48:54 PM | SashaR | You have found the pattern!
|
| 7:48:55 PM | agamotto | Ladybugs?
|
| 7:50:03 PM | TheFu | mkusb is a handy tool.
|
| 7:50:03 PM | BobK54 | imgburn does a nice job for a free windows program
|
| 7:50:05 PM | Marshman | Etcher is a great app
|
| 7:50:17 PM | TheFu | yumi is nice on Windows.
|
| 7:50:52 PM | TheFu | Or you can use dd/ddrescue on any Unix to do the bit-for-bit copy of the iso onto a flash drive.
|
| 7:51:11 PM | Marshman | Ether works on everything
|
| 7:51:33 PM | BobK54 | good old KB3 works well too
|
| 7:51:47 PM | TheFu | But what if I'm on a system without any GUI?
|
| 7:52:10 PM | BobK54 | K3B...got dyslexic :)
|
| 7:52:51 PM | alpeck | SashaR: you must have a mute button
|
| 7:52:58 PM | TheFu | When will DDR4 be cheap again?
|
| 7:53:05 PM | SashaR | I do!!
|
| 7:53:19 PM | agamotto | A year after DDR5 goes on sale?
|
| 7:53:22 PM | Marshman | they all have mute buttons
|
| 7:54:06 PM | TheFu | 2 yrs ago, DDR4 was just a little more expensive than DDR3. All the BTC/alt-coin miners are sucking up GPUs and RAM.
|
| 7:54:28 PM | agamotto | I am using the show tonight to escape all things Trump/Omarosa...
|
| 7:55:13 PM | BobK54 | derp
|
| 7:55:19 PM | agamotto | Cue the music?
|
| 7:55:23 PM | Marshman | Here we go again
|
| 7:55:44 PM | SashaR | I blame Robbie
|
| 7:55:55 PM | Marshman | Oh absolutely
|
| 7:56:02 PM | alpeck | 3...2...1......
|
| 7:56:06 PM | agamotto | "Please, continue the petty bickering..."
|
| 7:57:17 PM | agamotto | Miles from Murphy Brown would be fetal on the floor by this point... :)
|
| 7:57:59 PM | agamotto | Samsung owns the government...
|
| 7:58:00 PM | Marshman | agamotto: :D
|
| 7:59:50 PM | alpeck | maybe he needs to serve more time
|
| 8:00:05 PM | alpeck | money buys justice again
|
| 8:00:23 PM | agamotto | Well... if it were electrified, it might work better!
|
| 8:00:45 PM | alpeck | exactly agamotto
|
| 8:00:49 PM | agamotto | One term in office, one term in jail...
|
| 8:01:29 PM | alpeck | who didn't see this coming........
|
| 8:01:43 PM | agamotto | Amazon?
|
| 8:03:39 PM | TheFu | But I want Amazon to deliver the 65in TV.
|
| 8:03:48 PM | TheFu | That won't fit inside the box.
|
| 8:04:30 PM | TheFu | So they have a viaduct?
|
| 8:04:35 PM | alpeck | if that's what its takes to get home mail delivery in Canada i would gladly install a lock box
|
| 8:04:37 PM | TheFu | s/have/had/
|
| 8:05:14 PM | agamotto | Isn't this sort of thing why PO Boxes were first invented?
|
| 8:05:35 PM | TheFu | agamotto: Or good neighbors.
|
| 8:05:41 PM | alpeck | Probably agamotto
|
| 8:05:48 PM | agamotto | TheFu: agreed
|
| 8:06:21 PM | alpeck | 3...2...1...go
|
| 8:07:06 PM | agamotto | I wonder if they are going to napalm all of the jungle off of the ruins...
|
| 8:07:21 PM | BobK54 | Sasha needs rest!
|
| 8:07:40 PM | alpeck | your other right jeff
|
| 8:07:47 PM | agamotto | And... cue the talking head!
|
| 8:07:57 PM | SashaR | Sorry guys :(
|
| 8:08:28 PM | agamotto | SashaR: Please, you aren't getting paid $20mil a year, and this is hardly a nuclear missle alert
|
| 8:08:28 PM | TheFu | Be sure to lean in a little, like Sasha does. ;)
|
| 8:08:40 PM | Marshman | SashaR: Take a break and get better
|
| 8:08:43 PM | ABQTKY | +SashaR - Chicken soup tonight, Sasha.
|
| 8:09:08 PM | agamotto | White tea w/honey, or agave
|
| 8:09:13 PM | SashaR | I never want to miss... this show is a highlight to my week (and being home sick sucks)
|
| 8:09:36 PM | Marshman | I have no idea how anyone can read that prompter. My eyes couldn't do it
|
| 8:09:43 PM | TheFu | SashaR: We look forward to seeing all of you good folks.
|
| 8:10:14 PM | Marshman | SashaR: I have been home for three and a half months following surgery. Losing my mind
|
| 8:10:36 PM | SashaR | I love you all so much
|
| 8:11:16 PM | alpeck | considering what people find on google earth i can't believe this hasn't been found earlier
|
| 8:12:17 PM | alpeck | Lidar does not penetrate ground
|
| 8:12:36 PM | agamotto | I wonder if LIDAR could find ghosts... hehehehe
|
| 8:12:47 PM | alpeck | yes...very cool jeff
|
| 8:13:01 PM | TheFu | Acoustic sounding, but it doesn't work well with soft ground.
|
| 8:16:02 PM | agamotto | Hmmm, and to think all of those boxes could be crunching cancer proteins or SETI...
|
| 8:17:39 PM | revdjenk | yay...already checked out the Q on amazon...
|
| 8:17:40 PM | agamotto | SashaR: How much are you being paid to be there?
|
| 8:17:59 PM | revdjenk | can't wait til next week
|
| 8:18:02 PM | Marshman | Oh yes
|
| 8:18:04 PM | TheFu | Hot cocoa and a splash of rum.

|
| 8:18:16 PM | alpeck | thank you
|
| 8:18:17 PM | agamotto | SashaR: If =
|
| 8:18:46 PM | SashaR | But I'm emotionally invested :)
|
| 8:18:54 PM | SashaR | Thank you
|
| 8:19:15 PM | agamotto | I think I will wander off and find something analog to do... perhaps cuddling with Izzy.
|
| 8:19:41 PM | TheFu | Bed time.
|
| 8:20:13 PM | SashaR | yes... bedtime
|
| 8:20:15 PM | revdjenk | I'm halfway through taxes... well, not... maybe 1/4... ok 1/6
|
| 8:20:31 PM | revdjenk | s
|
| 8:20:38 PM | TheFu | revdjenk: I won't have all the paperwork for another month.
|
| 8:21:10 PM | BobK54 | next week everybody will be coughing! haha.
|
| 8:21:21 PM | alpeck | why....did he crash
|
| 8:21:36 PM | agamotto | Signal loss
|
| 8:21:37 PM | revdjenk | TheFu: I'm trying to get ahead... I have everything, I think, but I'm not working presently, so using this glob of time
|
| 8:21:49 PM | TheFu | SashaR: You missed the launch and dual landings? It was amazing!!!
|
| 8:22:00 PM | BobK54 | night all !!
|
| 8:22:04 PM | revdjenk | heavy falcon and side booster landings were phenominal
|
| 8:22:09 PM | Marshman | TTFN
|
| 8:22:13 PM | SashaR | I've been trying to keep from spreading germs..
|
| 8:22:15 PM | revdjenk | menal
