[00:19] <Yikes> I want to attach my IRC username on my ubuntuforums account since I never check the associated email anyway.  Do I have to specify the  server as well?
[00:20] <dax> freenode's the largest IRC network and where all Ubuntu stuff is normally, but if you'd like you could mention chat.freenode.net i guess
[00:21] <Yikes> thanks
[00:24] <Yikes> btw why is my server rajaniemi.freenode.net instead of irc.freenode.net?
[00:26] <dax> irc.freenode.net is a pointer to chat.freenode.net, which is a "round robin" pool of different servers. from that pool, your computer picks one to connect to. in this case, you got the untypable finnish one
[00:26] <Yikes> Is there a server backbone and it depends on where you are?
[00:27] <Yikes> okay, thank you.
[00:27] <dax> (which one it chooses is random)
[00:32] <Yikes> I filed an IC3 report just because it  has been happening for over a year now.  It  would be nice if I actually had an IP address or something, but they can be spoofed anyway.
[00:36] <Yikes> The things that have been happening are just too weird, and they only got weirder after I was diagnosed and put on anti-psychotics which I reluctantly took at near full dose.
[00:38] <dax> are you still on them?
[00:38] <Yikes> So the altered Web content has gotten even more blatant such that now I know it's human intent.  Prior to this, I was in the nearby CVS at night, the only one there, looking for a wire to unlock my car with, and somebody played a series of short music clips that seemed to pertain to some thoughts that I spoke out loud recently while at home.
[00:38] <Yikes> No, I have lots of extra because I was taking just below normal dose for over 6 months, but I'm not on them currently.
[00:38] <Yikes> and I was being over-prescribed anyway.
[00:38] <dax> psychiatrist is happy about that?
[00:39] <Yikes> I stopped seeing him after the deductible was renewed.  I'll see how the payments are going through soon enough.  I was diagnosed after all of this began, in part because of this.
[00:40] <Yikes> In large part because of this.  In fact this is what stressed me to the point of self-harm.
[00:42] <Yikes> That thing at the CVS happened while I was on a high dose of the meds.  One mood stabilizer and one anti-psychotic.
[00:43] <Yikes> But that's unrelated to Ubuntu isn't it, unless it can provide insight into what the hacker may be doing.
[00:43] <Yikes> It's odd that somebody would try to let me know without actually coming up to me and telling me.
[00:53] <Yikes> Maybe my dad is under investigation or something.
[00:54] <Yikes> No, how would random people know?
[00:55] <Yikes> and now it's on my isolated devices, and it seems like the hacker despises me, or used to.
[01:02] <Yikes> I was apparently free of him when my laptop had a wired connection to the hotspot, but that hotspot became obselete.
[01:02] <Yikes> It was the freedompop hub burst, now replaced with the netgear mingle, which lacks ethernet ports.
[01:07] <Yikes> Does anybody know of any other low cost wired internet solutions?
[01:07] <Yikes> In fact, freedompop is no longer 100% free, and I've been goin over lately.
[01:09] <Yikes> Please help me despite my diagnosis!  It's a shame that I got diagnosed largely because of this and now people assume I need medication rather than technical support.
[01:10] <Yikes> The fact is my family thought I was autistic, and was shocked.
[01:36] <Yikes> My room doesn't have a phone jack, so I've been using 3G/4G modems.
[01:44] <Yikes> But that would only be for a dial-up connection, wouldn't it?  They have connections that run over power lines now.
[01:44] <Yikes> satellite is too expensive.
[01:45] <Yikes> as is 3G/4G
[01:46] <Yikes> HomePlug goes over powerlines
[01:47] <Yikes> http://www.homeplug.org/
[01:54] <Yikes> I just can't find the cost of service.  It seems like it would work!
[01:56] <Yikes> Don't worry.  I notified my father.
[02:02] <Yikes> Apparently "fixed wireless" is a cost effective solution, but will it require a phone jack?
[02:04] <Yikes> It uses an antenna!  Does the antenna just hook up to the modem and it works?
[02:07] <Yikes> I just love all the different types of ways to connect to the Internet!  I considered stealing public hotspots with a powerful antenna, but realized it would probably be illegal as a long-term solution.
[02:08] <Yikes> But neither computer science nor physics, but biology, is what I know the most about.
[02:15] <Yikes> fiber-optic internet service sounds like it will probably be expensive if it's available at all.  I don't know whether HomePlug or fiber-optic will be available for my home, so I might have to resort to fixed wireless.
[02:15] <Yikes> or 4G of course, if I can find another 4G modem with an ethernet port.
[02:17] <hggdh> Yikes: your monologue is out of topic for this channel. Please go elsewhere for it.
[02:17] <Yikes> I'm sorry.  Thank you.
[02:18] <Yikes> I usually cut out the monologue whenever other conversations are sparked.
[02:19] <Yikes> btw I'm haplorrhie on UF
[12:08] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
