rick_h_ruh roh04:19
rick_h_greg-g: heh guess what04:19
greg-gwhat's up?04:20
rick_h_greg-g: they've hired a product manager for my team's stuff04:20
greg-gyay?04:20
rick_h_so now to figureout wtf that means and hope that it's sane04:20
greg-g(I want one for my team so bad)04:20
rick_h_yea, everyone talks up product managers and how they're awesome sauce04:20
rick_h_but since we've not had one for the last year kind of hoping I'll figure out how to let go of bits of things to him04:21
greg-gI'm just at the point (10 people, 3 distinct main areas of focus) where I could use the help04:21
rick_h_and that video is a bit creepy04:21
rick_h_yea04:21
greg-g:)04:21
rick_h_I've got a really awesome co-lead that helps a ton on my end04:21
greg-gtechnical co-lead?04:22
rick_h_yea, technically I lead one of of 6 and he leads the other team of 4 and we coordinate with UX team (5) and another tech team under a different mgr (4)04:22
rick_h_so the two of us juggle/manage the project together pretty well04:22
greg-ginteresting04:22
greg-gthat's kinda neat04:23
greg-gare those 5 UX all for those 10 (14?) devs?04:23
rick_h_well, we've got one main UX, a visual person, and two junior folks they're hiring04:23
rick_h_and then their manager04:23
rick_h_who manages more of them, but we work (well will work) with those 404:23
greg-gnice04:24
greg-gI mean, you have a real user-facing product04:24
greg-gI don't :)04:24
rick_h_yea04:24
greg-g(in the traditional sense, of course, our engineering staff are usrs, but not the same)04:24
rick_h_right, that internal vs external thing04:24
rick_h_it's one thing I didn't like about my last job, we weren't the product but a cost04:25
rick_h_which changes the dynamic a bit there04:25
greg-gyeah, my team is all cost04:25
rick_h_but important cost! :)04:25
greg-gwithout it shit won't be pushed :)04:26
greg-galright, bed time for me, gotta be up at 5:4504:27
rick_h_ouch, enjoy04:27
cmaloneyMorning and all that.14:27
rick_h_morn14:28
_stink_yo14:35
greg-gyo yo14:50
cmaloneyyo yo yo15:04
ColonelPanic001..16:29
cmaloneyYay, apparently someone breached Biggby's loyalty card system17:24
rick_h_wheee17:26
_stink_you may be bad luck in that regard, cmaloney17:28
cmaloneyI hope not17:29
cmaloneyThough JoDee used her card at Biggby today so we'll see if that causes problems.17:29
jonathan_that sucks17:30
jonathan_do you have a link to that breach cmaloney?17:30
cmaloneyjonathan_: I got a note from Biggby proper17:30
cmaloneyNot sure if there's a link17:30
=== jonathan_ is now known as jjesse
jjessecmaloney: hrmm will have to check my email then17:30
cmaloneyAt the very least they didn't say "hacker" or "cracker"17:31
cmaloneyand used the term "criminal"17:31
cmaloney++17:31
jjessegood for them, no notification in my inbox17:32
cmaloneyJoDee just got one17:43
cmaloneyso they may be delayed17:43
rick_h_let me stand by my 'never participate in any loyalty program ever' stance17:45
gamerchick02what did JoDee just get? sorry i was out17:45
gamerchick02rick_h_ i participate in mperks *shrug*17:45
cmaloneyMPerks is awesome17:46
gamerchick02mperks is. their app kind of sucks though17:46
cmaloneyThat's OK, apparently someone broke into change.org17:46
rick_h_what is mperks?17:47
gamerchick02it's gotten better17:47
gamerchick02mperks is Meijer digital coupons17:47
cmaloneyso they'll know that I signed up to abolish DST17:47
rick_h_oh, yea I go to meijer because they don't pressure the program like kroger does17:47
rick_h_damn evil place17:47
cmaloneyM-Perks is acknowledging that Meijer already tracks your ass and gives them explicit permission17:47
gamerchick02Kroger, blech17:47
cmaloneyWe've managed to bet $$ from them17:47
cmaloneyKroger can DIAF17:47
gamerchick02agree!!17:48
gamerchick02they cost too much and are wholly inconvenient.17:48
gamerchick02https://amysramblings.wordpress.com/2015/03/30/back-to-ubuntu/ dunno if anyone's read my little writeup of the XPS 13, but there it is.17:50
cmaloneyThat's part of the reason I stopped going to Speedway: Their stupid video monitors17:50
gamerchick02meh, i ignore them17:50
gamerchick02i'm like, desensitized to commercials17:50
gamerchick02:-P17:50
greg-ghttp://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?id=369318:00
gamerchick02good comic. i love SMBC18:51
gamerchick02oh no. i'm browsing amazon again23:35
derekvremember when people used to go to the mall to hang out?23:49
gamerchick02yes.23:50
gamerchick02it was a *thing* when i was in middle and high school23:50
gamerchick02now i don't go to the mall unless i need something specific.23:50
derekvi like to set up servers but i don't have any good way of keeping them from bitrotting or maintaining them or monitoring them or remembering how I set them up or that I set them up23:51
derekvuntil suddenly i remember one of them and it kills a weekend getting it running again then repeat23:51
derekvextreme futility23:51
greg-gpuppet :)23:52
greg-gor whatever config management tool you prefer23:52
derekvi just worry that i'd use puppet then the next cycle would come around and puppet (or whatever i used) would be abandon and/or whatever scripts i created would be worthless23:53
jrwrenhaha. the mall.23:53
jrwreni go to the mall to just walk around sometimes.23:53
jrwrenderekv: I just don't setup servers anymore. I consider them ephemeral.23:53
jrwrenderekv: If i cannot replace it with a new instance in 5-15min, I have failed.23:54
jrwrenderekv: at arbor we had many roll out in 2-3 minutes23:54
derekvi guess they are a little like goldfish... which is maybe evidence why i shouldn't have pets23:54
derekvyea i agree for work/business23:54
jrwrenderekv: right.  Cattle not pets is the new saying.23:54
derekvthese are just things running in my basement23:54
jrwrenoh, for basement, I have 1 system. it has its roots from 10+ years now.23:55
jrwrenI did reinstall when I got new hardware about 5 yrs ago, but did copy a few configs over.23:55
derekvi'm down to two, with several VMs however23:55
jrwrennot sure what bitrot means on a long running server like that ;)23:55
derekvs/VMs/jails23:55
jrwreni'm about to spinup a short lived VM on it right now :)23:56
derekvit just means that for some reason if you don't notice right away if something you got working stopped working, until a long time later23:56
derekvmy firewall is handspun and i had spent a weekend getting ipv6 working, this was a couple years ago23:56
jrwrenyeah! me too!23:57
derekvand like a year later i noticed it didn't work, no ipv623:57
derekvand i remembered almost nothing about what i did23:57
jrwrenI save my ipv6 scripts, but every time i reboot I have to run the ipv6 scripts manually ;)23:57
jrwrenderekv: but that is kind of good, because you do it 2-3 more times and you remember and you really learn it.23:57
derekvi'm about to replace it with pfsense =[23:58
jrwrenlame.23:58
jrwrenwell, maybe no lame, I don't know23:58
jrwrenbut does pfsense have good ipv6 support?23:58
derekvi think this firewall install goes back 6~7 years at least23:58
derekvi think so23:58
jrwreni'd love to see a nice firewall support prefix delegation23:59
