| 6:58:21 PM | TheFu | SashaR, besides that 1 group, how has not being on FB changed your life?
|
| 6:58:49 PM | Garbee | Working all right
|
| 6:58:54 PM | TheFu | check
|
| 6:58:56 PM | TheFu | check
|
| 7:00:38 PM | SashaR | It hasn't changed too much ... some family things have been interesting. I don't always know what is happening!
|
| 7:01:41 PM | TheFu | Did you see that Nova Scotia has the most confusing street sign in the world?
|
| 7:01:44 PM | Garbee | SashaR: Open up with a good joke.
|
| 7:02:01 PM | TheFu | https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-45478932
|
| 7:02:59 PM | TheFu | Hexchat FTW!
|
| 7:03:09 PM | RobbieF | hi
|
| 7:03:17 PM | Garbee | IRCcloud for me
|
| 7:03:29 PM | Garbee | SashaR: You have Op now.
|
| 7:03:32 PM | Garbee | So full operator
|
| 7:03:37 PM | Garbee | Kick anyone you please.
|
| 7:04:01 PM | TheFu | "spirit stick?"
|
| 7:04:06 PM | Garbee | If you knew how yea.
|
| 7:04:10 PM | ABQTKY | Sigh
|
| 7:05:42 PM | Garbee | Clean? I'm the one that makes it dirty.
|
| 7:06:04 PM | Garbee | 😂
|
| 7:09:06 PM | Garbee | I just use Video Games to try and pick up girls.
|
| 7:09:10 PM | Garbee | It doesn't work well.
|
| 7:09:23 PM | TheFu | 1 soda a week in the old days. No computers. We had to share a calculator. We had 2 TVs - 1 B/W and 1 color.
|
| 7:11:22 PM | Garbee | Every night I go to bed, I put on a sleep mask... I know I can empathize with SashaR then.
|
| 7:11:53 PM | TheFu | "Nice."
|
| 7:12:36 PM | Garbee | Good work so far, don't screw it up later.
|
| 7:13:44 PM | Garbee | Mission Impossible
|
| 7:14:02 PM | TheFu | Jay and Silent Bob?
|
| 7:17:03 PM | SashaR | I think Mission Impossible :)
|
| 7:17:36 PM | TheFu | "NEW"
|
| 7:18:47 PM | TheFu | What happened to the red shirt?
|
| 7:19:47 PM | Garbee | It got killed.
|
| 7:20:16 PM | SashaR | lol
|
| 7:21:51 PM | TheFu | cntl-+ font too small!!!!
|
| 7:22:57 PM | TheFu | too small
|
| 7:23:14 PM | SashaR | I don't know that he can change it :(
|
| 7:23:20 PM | TheFu | cntl -+++++
|
| 7:23:47 PM | Garbee | TheFu: He may be recording that area to blow up later in post.
|
| 7:24:20 PM | TheFu | lxrandr
|
| 7:25:11 PM | TheFu | I'm watching on a 100 inch screen ...
|
| 7:25:25 PM | Garbee | Nope
|
| 7:25:30 PM | Garbee | Same size text.
|
| 7:25:37 PM | Garbee | I'd fix it in post.
|
| 7:25:40 PM | TheFu | cntl-shift- +++
|
| 7:25:42 PM | Garbee | Record that area and blow it up.
|
| 7:26:10 PM | TheFu | lxrandr has a mirror checkbox.
|
| 7:26:11 PM | Garbee | That's a post-solution SashaR.
|
| 7:26:25 PM | Garbee | Yea, better since it is zoomed in.
|
| 7:26:26 PM | TheFu | way better.
|
| 7:30:24 PM | MarshMan | .msg NickServ identify WD6gY%AMZHkzOY^QeuiuL8H1*h$o
|
| 7:30:25 PM | Garbee | But, if you can `dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/std` and have it cure the ailment.... Then we found a great solution to a medical mystery.
|
| 7:30:33 PM | Garbee | MarshMan: WHOOPS
|
| 7:30:37 PM | Garbee | Chance that nickname now.
|
| 7:30:45 PM | TheFu | Thanks for the login.
|
| 7:30:45 PM | Garbee | er, password
|
| 7:31:31 PM | Garbee | I have no clue when to re-voice you. So You have 5 minutes before I do it again FYI so you can chat.
|
| 7:32:58 PM | TheFu | Or amazon was tired of complaints and is forcing "generic" to make good?
|
| 7:35:58 PM | TheFu | $10 is expensive for a 16G microSD
|
| 7:39:17 PM | TheFu | I've had issues with Nokia batteries.
|
| 7:39:29 PM | TheFu | RobbieF, try lxrandr
|
| 7:40:16 PM | GWG | Did I miss anything? Just got home
|
| 7:40:36 PM | TheFu | SashaR, what class(es)?
|
| 7:41:19 PM | SashaR | I'm taking a PSW course... part time Tues/Thurs nights and every other Saturday for a year. This is my 2nd week.
|
| 7:41:26 PM | GWG | PSW?
|
| 7:41:37 PM | TheFu | Is that like Calc IV?
|
| 7:41:50 PM | SashaR | Personal Support Worker.. or Home care worker.
|
| 7:42:08 PM | GWG | I would like to learn to solder small electronics
|
| 7:42:09 PM | TheFu | RobbieF, that doesn't look like the lxrandr versions I've seen. Interesting.
|
| 7:42:17 PM | GWG | I need to figure out how to do that
|
| 7:44:38 PM | TheFu | GPU driver?
|
| 7:45:15 PM | M1k3_0 | Do yourself a favor and don't get a cheap iron. You'll get frustrated and think you suck when you could be quite good. The iron will make a difference. You can get practice PWB's on Amazon cheap.
|
| 7:46:17 PM | M1k3_0 | Can also pull PWB's from old crap and practice desoldering and soldering.
|
| 7:47:26 PM | GWG | I want to work with something like the esp8266 to build some wifi temperature sensors
|
| 7:47:44 PM | GWG | What is a good iron?
|
| 7:48:24 PM | SashaR | Clearly I'm picturing the wrong iron :)
|
| 7:49:24 PM | GWG | Soldering iron
|
| 7:49:40 PM | GWG | Not the Monopoly iron
|
| 7:50:20 PM | M1k3_0 | Something like a Hakko. Look for something will a full hot swapable tip for quickly changing tips. Not everyone like Hakko but it would be a good intro iron.
|
| 7:50:32 PM | TheFu | pancakes.
|
| 7:51:16 PM | TheFu | xrandr et al don't need sudo
|
| 7:51:24 PM | GWG | Canadians say sol-der?
|
| 7:51:27 PM | GWG | Hmmm
|
| 7:51:35 PM | RobbieF | Hi!
|
| 7:51:47 PM | GWG | Hi RobbieF
|
| 7:52:00 PM | M1k3_0 | I say say it that way too...
|
| 7:52:04 PM | TheFu | lxrandr is the simple, easy, of the *randr tools.
|
| 7:52:36 PM | Garbee | Dalek
|
| 7:52:49 PM | TheFu | Isn't is "all seriousness aside?" that's correct.
|
| 7:53:32 PM | GWG | Just curious
|
| 7:53:39 PM | GWG | I always say sawder
|
| 7:53:59 PM | TheFu | sod-er
|
| 7:54:08 PM | M1k3_0 | I used to say it that way :)
|
| 7:54:36 PM | GWG | Google mispronounced Pareve
|
| 7:54:43 PM | GWG | Still annoyed at that
|
| 7:55:26 PM | TheFu | SashaR, visit Boston - they have lots of extra 'RRRRRs' there.
|
| 7:55:38 PM | GWG | Bahston
|
| 7:55:45 PM | M1k3_0 | lol
|
| 7:56:03 PM | TheFu | They drive caaaaaaas there.
|
| 7:56:18 PM | TheFu | Hence, all the extra Rs.
|
| 7:57:35 PM | TheFu | Wasn't there an island/country in the S. Pacific that was trying to use Cryptocurrency?
|
| 7:58:21 PM | SashaR | I should live in Boston!!!
|
| 7:58:51 PM | GWG | SashaR: If you lived in Boston, I might come to see you
|
| 7:58:57 PM | GWG | Although I've always wanted to visit Ontario
|
| 7:59:02 PM | GWG | Flying over it last week doesn't count
|
| 7:59:22 PM | SashaR | Ontario... our slogan is "yours to discover" :)
|
| 8:00:07 PM | TheFu | Why do Canadian TV/films use Vancouver and Toronto for US cities instead of just using the Canadian city?
|
| 8:00:42 PM | GWG | SashaR: I love New York, more than ever?
|
| 8:01:15 PM | TheFu | GWG - never been outside the airport. Been upstate a few times.
|
| 8:01:15 PM | SashaR | I know, right?!? I'm going to TIFF this weekend, and looking forward to seeing some films (Toronto International Film Festival)
|
| 8:01:40 PM | GWG | SashaR: I've always wanted to visit Toronto
|
| 8:02:06 PM | TheFu | gecko!
|
| 8:02:08 PM | SashaR | It's amazing there :). I'm slightly biased though, that's where I was born :)
|
| 8:02:39 PM | GWG | SashaR: Would you, RobbieF and the gang give me a personal tour if I came?
|
| 8:02:43 PM | GWG | That would be an endorsement
|
| 8:02:50 PM | SashaR | YES!!!!
|
| 8:03:09 PM | TheFu | Gecko on the wall
|
| 8:03:40 PM | GWG | Okay. Tours by local
|
| 8:03:40 PM | SashaR | I don't think its a gecko
|
| 8:03:41 PM | M1k3_0 | There to sell some insurance im sure
|
| 8:03:42 PM | GWG | That works.
|
| 8:08:00 PM | TheFu | In some places, weather forecasting is pretty accurate. Seems worse near large bodies of water.
|
| 8:11:14 PM | TheFu | Calgary ... is traffic bad there?
|
| 8:12:10 PM | TheFu | SashaR, and what is the backup communications with the cell network fails?
|
| 8:12:53 PM | TheFu | 1.6Km
|
| 8:19:47 PM | TheFu | SashaR, why did you stop using facebook?
|
| 8:20:24 PM | TheFu | How is google or amazon capturing data different?
|
| 8:21:17 PM | TheFu | -jeff
|
| 8:21:39 PM | Newa | great to see you again live, Robbie :)
|
| 8:22:11 PM | Garbee | Nice
|
| 8:22:27 PM | Garbee | It's not fall for 10 more days.
|
| 8:23:44 PM | Newa | I'd say the things that have led to technology spying us for advertisements:
|
| 8:24:27 PM | TheFu | Annie
|
| 8:24:50 PM | Newa | some businesses saw that freemium model of selling dlc and boosters gave more money to the company overall
|
| 8:25:15 PM | SashaR | I stopped using Facebook because of my inability to impose good limits on my use :)
|
| 8:25:38 PM | TheFu | So talking with Alexa is fine. ;)
|
| 8:25:45 PM | Newa | network effect, for example in games, gave incentives to play the same (free) games others were playing, too
|
| 8:27:00 PM | Newa | other major source of funding for free content are advertisements, where big money flows
|
| 8:27:44 PM | Newa | advertisers want more results for their investments, thus they are interested in targeted marketing for their potential buyers
|
| 8:28:13 PM | Newa | thus, spying breaches your privacy in various ways
|
| 8:28:42 PM | benrob0329 | Seems like it would be more profitable to use the tags on a video to play say, a tech ad on a tech video
|
| 8:29:21 PM | Newa | third funding channel is investing in the content before it's produced, like patreon, kickstarter, indiegogo etc.
|
| 8:29:57 PM | benrob0329 | And to not play an anti virus ad on a Linux video :P
|
| 8:31:19 PM | Newa | RobbieF: btw, the top menu "Live" link worked in category5.tv site, but the side menu "Episode 573 live, on the air" link led to live.category5.tv which isn't working
|
| 8:32:48 PM | RobbieF | woh - good catch! Thanks Newa!!!
|
| 8:32:51 PM | RobbieF | That must be super old!
|
| 8:34:19 PM | Newa | Still been virus free on Linux to my knowledge. I've seen reports of worms that can propagate on Linux exploits too, but the inherent safety guards help a lot
|
| 8:36:18 PM | Garbee | RobbieF: still around?
|
| 8:36:34 PM | Garbee | If so, we *should* purge a line from the chat before it goes into the site logs for the show.
|
| 8:37:08 PM | Garbee | At 7:30 MarshMan accidentally posted their auth password for IRC.
|
| 8:37:37 PM | Garbee | Even though it looks like they are on top of things and using a generator. I still think it would be best to purge that from being on the site.
