cyberangerOmnifrog: what list?01:13
Omnifrogthe nick list over there --->01:34
minasotaah, I thought you were referring to you Christmas list02:48
OmnifrogI don't have an xmas list02:49
OmnifrogI hate December02:49
OmnifrogHATE!02:49
minasotaOmnifrog: if you haven't noticed, this group hasn't been serious about anything in a long time. It's really just a place to... I'm not sure, a place to lurk I guess02:50
Omnifroglol, I noticed02:50
OmnifrogI've had several places like that in my tabs for decades02:51
minasotaMost of the ~10 folks in here don't even use *buntu as their OS02:51
cyberangerOmnifrog: There's a nick list to my right?02:51
OmnifrogI only use it on one box in this house02:52
minasotacyberanger: lol, bar toggle nicklist :p02:52
Omnifrogwait, I think my youngest son uses ubuntu02:52
cyberangerminasota: what bar?02:52
minasotathe one you have obviously just came back from... :)02:53
OmnifrogI'm using hexchat at the moment so the nick list is in the right pane02:53
minasotaOmnifrog: using weechat, can toggle the nicklist off or on02:54
minasotaI never use it02:54
OmnifrogI don't mind the nicklist being there02:54
minasotaI think it's a waste of space02:55
Omnifrogsome rooms I'm in I need the list to be there02:55
minasotaA few years ago, maybe about around 2008 2009 this channel was actually active02:57
Omnifrogalso, I just discovered that the Chattanooga maker space is alive again02:58
Omnifrogthey have new digs in down town Chatt02:58
minasotaI've never been to a group meeting or whatever. Always wanted to, I thought I could learn alot by actually talking and seeing what others are doing02:59
cyberangerminasota: using ii right this second.03:00
minasotacyberanger: ok...03:00
cyberangerno nick list in that client03:00
cyberangerminasota: you might like it, very minimalist03:00
minasotacyberanger: I like what works03:01
cyberangerii works well ;-)03:01
OmnifrogI've thought about joining but I'm not sure I want to commit to a $50 a month membership to something I may rarely if ever use03:01
minasotacyberanger: if what I have isn't broken and it works for me...03:01
cyberangerI think we were active more recently than 09, but yeah there was a time where we really tried meetups and all, that'd be 2010 at the latest03:02
cyberangerI think03:02
cyberangerOmnifrog: I have the same problem with gym memberships too03:02
* Omnifrog is a GUI whore 03:02
* cyberanger would like to point out Omnifrog said it.03:02
minasotahaha03:03
Omnifrogit's true03:03
Omnifrog<-- lazy as fuck03:03
minasotacyberanger: no need for a gym membership. I can put together a plan for you03:03
cyberangerminasota: my current plan works perfectly, I plan to not work out for the rest of the year03:04
minasotacyberanger: not good03:04
minasotaterrible plan03:04
minasotaThink of your body as you would one of your servers03:05
cyberangerminasota: I don't plan for much of anything for the next 14 days03:05
cyberanger;-)03:05
OmnifrogI subscribe to the Winnie The Pooh fitness plan03:05
OmnifrogWhen I up, down and touch the ground03:06
OmnifrogIt puts me in the mood03:06
OmnifrogUp, down and touch the ground03:06
OmnifrogIn the mood for food03:06
minasotacyberanger: I have no idea what you are hinting at, but I'm sure it makes sense to you ;)03:06
Omnifrog...03:06
cyberangerI said for the rest of the year, that's just 14 days away03:07
Omnifrogsorry, I babysit my almost 3 year old grand daughter a lot03:07
cyberangerSeriously, work keeps me active enough right now, and when that doesn't Salvation Army does this time of year (they do year round anyways, but this is a bit more so)03:07
minasotacyberanger: I do good to know it's Saturday03:07
minasotaI slept since yesterday03:08
minasotaOmnifrog: skip the food, pour yourself a bourbon03:08
cyberangerI've thought about a new years resolution, but 2016's was to blog more, 351 days later I've not yet published a single post....03:09
OmnifrogI'm not a fan of the hard stuff03:09
OmnifrogI stick to beer03:09
cyberangerSo if my 2017 Resolution was excerise....03:09
Omnifrogok... EXCEPT if the liqueur is Disaranno03:10
minasotaMy new years resolution is to buy a pen, maybe a fountain pen or maybe just a cheap bic. regardless, the resolution is to not lose it and keep it the entire year03:11
Omnifrogthen we may have a problem03:11
minasotaIt sounds simple, but how many people can actually keep the same pen the whole year03:12
cyberangerminasota: that's easy enough, if you aren't required to use it, Buy the pen on New Years, then on the 2nd, get a safe deposit box, then no matter what you can't lose the pen.03:12
Omnifrogmy current favorite pen is the Pilot G-2 .0703:12
cyberangerLosing the key to the safe deposit box however....03:12
minasotacyberanger: uh, yeah... nevermind03:13
Omnifrogthe Pilot G-2 .10 is useful if you need a bolder line03:13
cyberangerI've got a pen I keep with my wallet, Drivers License and Passport (I have a passport wallet, passport, passport card and driver's license is always in it with, unless I am applying for a visa or something)03:14
Omnifrogthe .07 has a fine line and requires very little pressure03:14
minasotaOmnifrog: I like the G-2 but where I work it takes on 'hey man can I borrow your pen' then you get busy doing something and BAM, it's gone03:14
cyberangerI've hat it break, run out of ink or something, but never lost it.03:15
OmnifrogNO ONE takes my pen03:15
cyberangerAnd I usually give out my other pen.03:15
OmnifrogI protect my pen like people protect their drug stash03:16
minasotaOmnifrog: when you're in a confined space inspecting a bearing where no man has gone before... it's not hard03:16
Omnifrogand yes, I have had my precious pens for over a year running03:17
Omnifrogyou can have my pen when you pry it from my cold dead hands03:17
minasotacyberanger: that would work for me if I never had to do anything other than sit or stand in a controlled environment03:17
cyberangerminasota has it a bit harder to hold onto in his work enviroment, presuming that's still the same....03:18
minasotacyberanger: don't test03:18
Omnifrogwait... inspecting a bearing?03:19
cyberangermine isn't controlled, This year I've driven Semi's, so every security gate checking ID on entry and exit, airport security, customs and data centers.03:20
Omnifrogpeople are after your pens in bearing inspections?03:20
minasotacyberanger: so you have to get out your truck, ok. Or you have to walk thru a checkpoint, gasp.03:21
minasotaOmnifrog: more like paint pens03:22
cyberangerNot just walk through, sign in, or sign a credit card slip (that's why the pen is with the wallet, seems like every signature involves ID or a Credit/Debit Card this year)03:22
minasotaWhat if you don't own a CC03:23
minasotaor is it company CC?03:23
cyberangerI nearly left it at TSA and their counterparts in Ireland this year.03:23
Omnifroguse bit coin, lol03:23
minasotaOmnifrog: I sometimes find myself in a nacelle that houses a bearing most likely taller than the house you live in03:24
cyberangerThen replace CC with Debit, but it's harder for renting a car or (and for semi's it's a fuel card for buying Disel Fuel for the semi and doubles as an ATM card)03:24
minasotaJust get a stamp lol03:25
minasotaIt's actually still a valid autho03:25
cyberangerHotels too for that matter03:25
Omnifrogdo you work on a starship minasota ?03:26
cyberangerOh, and I did lose a cell phone to CATSA, but not the pen.03:26
* cyberanger laughs....03:26
Omnifrogwait, they dont have bearing >.>03:26
minasotaOmnifrog: in a galaxy far far away03:26
OmnifrogI'm team Star Trek03:26
Omnifrogwe stay in this galaxy03:27
minasotaWell, I'm determined to keep a pen the entire 365 days03:27
Omnifrogin at least 3 quadrants if this galaxy03:28
Omnifrogs/if/of03:28
minasotaYou gents have given me inspiration03:28
cyberangerCATSA being Canada's TSA (having said that, the cell was a cheap prepaid with a provider there, if I kept it it'd be in a drawer, so I wasn't exactly TRYING to keep it either)03:28
minasotaIf anything, I'll be damned if cyberanger can keep a pen for a year and I can't :)03:28
Omnifroga mans pen is his .... well... pen03:29
OmnifrogI was gonna say castle but that would be stupid03:30
cyberangerYeah, this pen I've had for 2 years, Christmas gift from an ex (What can I say, it's perfect with my wallet)03:30
minasotaI do have a pen that I keep at home. I signed some things while in the military and I used to sign some sentimental docs afterwards03:30

cyberangerminasota: 22's in a few places03:36
minasotaok03:36
OmnifrogI'm totally biased03:37
minasotaOmnifrog: I was asking if you had red x certs, meaning, could you sign off on a X ?03:37
Omnifrogminasota, I dont remember red x being a thing back then03:38
minasotamx forms...03:38
minasota/ - X   they havent changed03:38
minasotamx meaning maintenance03:38
Omnifrogmy memory fais me03:39
Omnifrogfails03:39
Omnifrogit wasnt my chosen field03:40
Omnifroglol03:40
minasotacrew chief right?03:40
Omnifrogyeah03:40
OmnifrogI went in as an electronics/ computer specialist03:41
minasotaso when you found a problem, there are three categories / - X03:41
minasotaIt hasn't changed since Adam03:41
cyberangerI know Langley and Elmendorf Have F-22's First hand, and I've heard Tyndall and Hickam have them too03:41
Omnifrogthe day after I finished basic they told me my MOS pics were unavailable03:42
OmnifrogI had 3 choices. crew chief, plumber or go home on the next plane out03:43
cyberangerOmnifrog: sounds like the right call then.03:43
Omnifrogwhen you are 18 and you just got through basic training .... well...03:43
Omnifroggotta make the call03:44
cyberangerI've also heard we've got them rotating into the Middle East somewhere, two intercepted a Syrian Su-24 over Hasakah.03:44
OmnifrogI pay very little attention to deployments03:47
Omnifrogok, no attention03:47
Omnifrogthese day I only pay attention to news from late night talk shows03:50
Omnifrogit's funny that way03:50
cyberangerI have an old work habit and don't pay attention to our deployments, but I still watch obscure news outlets and others deployments.03:53
Omnifrogwhats' obscure?03:54
OmnifrogLinus's Law03:58
Omnifrog"given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow"03:59
Omnifroggiven enough websites all sites are obscure03:59
cyberangerWell, by obscure I mean not just CNN, Al Rai & Al Aan comes to mind.03:59
OmnifrogI don't pat attention to any of those04:00
cyberangerI think I follow 150+ news outlets04:00
cyberangerOr at least used to04:01
OmnifrogI think my feed list is around 80 sites04:01
Omnifrogyes, I still cling to RSS04:01
cyberangerFor RSS, You and me both04:02
OmnifrogI don't care. I'm not giving it up04:02
OmnifrogI will die with an RSS feed list04:03
Omnifrogkids today might like their fancy twitter this and facebook that04:04
Omnifrogbut NOT ME04:04
Omnifrogif an interesting tweet happens I'll see it in one of my RSS feeds04:05
cyberangerI deal with twitter too, for infosec news it's a godsend, but I use it and RSS together04:10
* minasota likes his cl line newsbeuter04:13
OmnifrogI got a twitter account days after it went public04:14
Omnifrognever found a use for it04:14
cyberangerFor me I think it was day one.04:14
cyberangerI could see back then how it'd be better than facebook for me (I had SMS access, but no reliable web access)04:15
minasotaI just want relevant content, no flash, just the data. I want control over how it's displayed and from the sources I choose04:19
OmnifrogI want funny cat pics04:20
cyberangerI hear that, noscript and digg reader is what I've wound up using.04:20
cyberangerI'm working on migrating to something like ttrss but that's work in progress.04:21
Omnifrogno script, uBlock , ghostery and Privacy Badger here04:27
OmnifrogI dont know what order the filters get applied but browsing the interwebs is pretty calm and uneventful for me04:29
cyberangerNoScript, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, AdBlock Plus, HTTPS Everywhere and Foxyproxy04:30
OmnifrogI used to use AdBlock Plus04:30
Omnifrogbut I heard bad things about that in /. comments04:31
minasotayou might want to take a second look at adblock plus....04:31
OmnifrogI used adblock plus for a lond time04:32
Omnifroglong04:32
OmnifroguBlock is a fork of adblock04:32
Omnifrogok, there are 2 adblocks04:33
Omnifrogit's complicated04:34
cyberanger./ had some valid points, but nothing a user couldn't adjust/configure04:34
Omnifrogbut adblock plus started making deals with advertisers04:34
Omnifrogand uBlock forked off of that because of the deals04:35
Omnifrogadblock is different from adblock plus04:36
Omnifroghttps://tech.slashdot.org/story/14/07/29/2152225/which-is-better-adblock-or-adblock-plus04:37
cyberangerThose deals are to be put on a whitelist I turned off04:38
Omnifrogbut then later, adblock plus started doing the same shil04:38
Omnifrogshit04:38
cyberangerBut they did turn the whitelist on by default04:39
minasotaand the whitelist is populated by who?04:41
* minasota dons his tin foil hat04:41
Omnifrogthe whitelist is populated by the user04:41
Omnifrogin all 3 pluggins04:42
minasotayeah, I guess my humor was lost in ircexlation04:42
Omnifroglol04:42
OmnifrogI'm sorry. the correct answer was Trump04:43
minasotaOmnifrog: not a trump fan :)04:59
cyberangerI thought the correct answer was Clinton05:08
cyberangerI mean we already made a huge tribute to him, granted for political correctness we called it the washington monument.05:08
Omnifrog<-- not a drumph fan either05:55
OmnifrogJon Oliver FTW05:55
