thafreakpaultag: i like the idea of salt, but it's salt "states" are a bit confusing to me02:35
thafreakI've only really looked at it for sending commands to slaves to    perform02:36
thafreaki;ve been using ansible quite heavily actually02:36
thafreakI've found there's not much I can't do with it02:36

thafreakthat's it, I've lost all hope for the future of humanity14:48
thafreakMY students aren't even smart enough to cheat right...14:52
andygraybealnice14:55
andygraybealdo tell the story :)14:55
andygraybealwhat do you teach?14:55
thafreaki'm teaching a programming course15:03
thafreakor trying to15:03
thafreakSo aparently, if you don't explicitly TELL the students everything they need to do, they don't do anything15:04
thafreakmy students behave exactly like my 6 year old15:04
thafreakSince I didn't explictly tell them to read each chapter of the book, they never did15:04
thafreaksince I didn't explicitly tell them to pay attention to me during lectures, they never did15:05
andygraybeali like it... are you teaching community college?15:05
thafreakAnd since I didn't dump tons of homework on them, they didn't seem it was necessary to practice anything on their own15:05
thafreakhahahaha15:05
andygraybeali wen tto a community college.. and i fucking loved every bit of it... i went to regular college and wanted to kill myself.15:06
thafreakno, these kids paid good money15:06
yanoi went to a trade school15:06
yanothat sounds like trade school15:06
andygraybealcommunity college justseems so much better than regular school15:06
yano(i went in high school)15:06
thafreakthey paid probably $1500 for this class, or someone did15:06
andygraybealhi yano :)15:06
thafreakPartly it is my fault, I should have given them more work...15:07
thafreakBut even when I said, THIS WILL BE ON THE FINAL, and went over it 3 times in the review15:07
* belkinsa is in college for Medical Lab Sciences/Biology15:07
yanoandygraybeal: hi15:08
thafreakthe third time because one student wasn't paying attention the first two times we went over it and aparently didn't hear me15:08
andygraybealthafreak, it is their own fault... i wouldn't worry15:08
thafreakI quit15:08
thafreakthe worst part is all the damned cheating15:08
thafreakand they don't even do it right15:08
andygraybealone of my teachers in community college said... if 100% of the class aces the first test we had... no more tests!!!  it was thebest class i wasever in.15:09
thafreakand then I call them out on cheating...does it stop, nope15:09
andygraybealhow do you cheat on programming course?15:09
thafreaki hate tests...as an instructor...they are a pain in the a$$ to make, and then grade, and thy don't really tell me anything15:09
thafreakcopy/paste15:09
thafreakthey failed at copy/paste in some cases...15:10
andygraybealnice :)15:10
andygraybeal015:10
thafreakI put up an example that I did in class on github, and said it was only for looking at to get ideas, DO NOT copy/paste it and submit it as your own15:11
thafreakmainly because it wasn't 100% done15:11
thafreakjust showed what I wanted to cover in class15:11
thafreakone student submitted it, 100% exactly as is15:11
thafreakhe DID change the name at the top though15:12
thafreakI put a bunch of nonsens code at the bottom that did nothing15:12
andygraybealnice :)15:12
thafreakI even put a comment above the nonsense code15:12
thafreak#copypasta trap15:12
andygraybeal:)  style15:12
thafreaki.e. if I see that, I know where it came from15:12
thafreakprobably 5 of them had that code at the bottom15:13
thafreaka couple removed the comment about it being a trap for some reason15:13
thafreakbut left the useless code15:13
thafreakprobably because they didn't knwo what it did, so it must have been important right15:13
andygraybealso you said you quit, as ... you just quit,. right now?15:14
thafreakIt's stuff like this that makes me wonder what the point of college is anyway15:15
thafreakit's obvious that a large majority of people with degrees cheated their way though15:15
thafreakthey just paid for a piece of paper15:15
thafreakOh I quit a while ago :)15:15
thafreakI told them I won't be teaching this class again15:15
thafreakI was doing 2 classes this semester, and it is exponentially more work than a single class15:16
thafreakI'm sticking to the upper division classes, where most of the kids who refuse to think for themselves have been weeded out15:17
thafreakIt's not my full time job by the way...this is one of my part time jobs...15:18
thafreakAlright , done venting15:18
thafreakSo, who thinks we should shift all of IT to an aprenticeship style field, like the trades15:19
thafreakAre sysadmins really different than plumbers or electricians?15:20
thafreakAre programmers really different than carpenters?15:20
andygraybealthafreak, i'm all for it.  i worked with a admin at a big university that thought everything was so over rated.. and he simply called himself an electronic plumber.15:21
andygraybealit was a little bit of a joke, but in a serious way... he was getting paid astronomical amounts :)15:21
thafreakwell so do some plumbers :)15:21
thafreakthere are plumbers who make more than I probably ever will15:21
thafreakeven with working 3 jobs ;)15:21
andygraybealokay well, then i didn't realize that.15:21
andygraybealyes anyway, i do agree with you15:22
thafreakand I'm not saying totally replace college either, well maybe for some people15:22
thafreakLike I don't know how much college classes will help a windows help desk person, that can be mostly on the job learning15:22
thafreakbut programming and network engineer type stuff, college should be in the mix too15:23
thafreakbut most trades, you go to night school15:23
thafreakuntil you become a journeyman15:23
thafreakso it still fits I think15:24
cid420sup all15:47

andygraybealcid420, bro, i'm trying to get postfix to send mail so i get experience running mail server, also openvpn server and request tracker up and running :)18:11
thafreakyeah, home ownership does suck...except for the having a place to live part...that's cool :)18:11
andygraybealyea, we got 18 acres of woods and 2 acres of field... it's friggen awesome18:12

andygraybeali love living out here in the middle of nowhere.18:19
andygraybeali think i'm going to throw the towel in on getting postfix to work and get exim to work instead19:34
andygraybealif i remember right, exim just kind of works for me...19:35
andygraybealman, aptitude is treating me way better than apt-get ever did19:40
paultagd'aww.19:41
andygraybeal:)19:51
Unit193andygraybeal: What the heck type of community college did you go to?  One of my sisters went to private, one to community, and the first one had far, far less crap than my other sister.  Every class registration started at 5am, and servers went down (overload?) at 5:03 or some crap.  We live in the "city", and the only time I've been talked to by a cop when I wasn't doing anything was in another city, and of course we don't even have the ...20:03
