| 16:20.15 | youtah | when you have multiple major ISP's that link together in a certain spot? |
| 16:20.19 | youtah | I am completely drawing a blank |
| 16:23.03 | youtah | IX |
| 16:23.06 | youtah | Internet Exchange |
| 16:26.47 | spangborn | a shitshow? |
| 16:27.04 | spangborn | Congress? |
| 16:40.41 | jima | wow |
| 16:40.54 | jima | i keep wanting to get my work on slix |
| 16:47.26 | youtah | keldwud, yeah, the battle is how do we go about it |
| 16:47.42 | youtah | lol RyanE |
| 16:48.12 | youtah | Rachio is SO EXPENSIVE |
| 16:49.55 | spangborn | worth it |
| 16:50.03 | spangborn | and it's not that expensive after the 50% rebate |
| 16:50.12 | spangborn | also rachio has coupons all the time |
| 16:50.15 | spangborn | I may even have one you can use |
| 16:50.18 | youtah | Screw you spangborn for referring me to a superior project and making me buy the Rachio |
| 16:50.25 | youtah | lol |
| 16:50.34 | youtah | Rachio 3 coming right up |
| 16:50.51 | spangborn | Oh I had a memorial day coupon |
| 16:50.54 | spangborn | but it's expired now |
| 16:51.00 | youtah | Noooooooooo |
| 16:51.02 | spangborn | try MEMORIAL30 on their website |
| 16:51.04 | spangborn | maybe it'll still work |
| 16:51.19 | youtah | nope |
| 16:51.21 | spangborn | Oh wait |
| 16:51.23 | spangborn | I have a new one |
| 16:51.32 | youtah | It's literally sitting in the shopping cart |
| 16:51.36 | spangborn | R3LAWN30 |
| 16:51.40 | spangborn | $30 off |
| 16:51.58 | spangborn | expires the 25th |
| 16:52.35 | youtah | The Fathers Day one expired too |
| 16:52.37 | youtah | trying yorus |
| 16:52.39 | youtah | yours* |
| 16:52.51 | spangborn | They're continually giving out coupons lol |
| 16:53.02 | youtah | I just asked them on twitter and tagged you in it |
| 16:53.31 | spangborn | I'm listening to DEV |
| 16:53.34 | youtah | FEEFREE = 10% off |
| 16:53.38 | spangborn | and realizing how much I miss Turntable |
| 16:53.43 | youtah | RIGHT?!?!?!?! |
| 16:54.08 | youtah | Iwish they made their stuff open source, then we could spin up our own private servers |
| 16:55.41 | youtah | R3LAWN30 saves me $15 over the FEEFREE |
| 16:55.51 | jfindlay | so you're jumping at any discount on an overpriced sprinkler manager that's proprietary and has to phone home to turn on your sprinklers? |
| 16:56.13 | jfindlay | why not just wire up the solenoids to a raspberrypi and setup a few cron jobs and be done with it? |
| 16:56.39 | BigBen212 | jfindlay: I saw a nice tutorial for doing that with a RP |
| 16:56.46 | BigBen212 | so much work though :) |
| 16:56.53 | youtah | Too much work |
| 16:56.57 | youtah | I want convenience |
| 16:57.04 | youtah | rPi's are anything but that |
| 16:57.06 | jfindlay | cron is too much for you? |
| 16:57.11 | jfindlay | what field do you work in? |
| 16:57.15 | youtah | and I want a slick app |
| 16:57.27 | youtah | especially one that the wife can use |
| 16:57.38 | youtah | and she can say "Echo, water the back yard for 5 minutes" |
| 16:58.16 | spangborn | You have Echos? |
| 16:58.20 | spangborn | why google home? |
| 16:58.20 | youtah | One |
| 16:58.29 | spangborn | I trust Google more than I trust Amazon lol |
| 16:58.30 | youtah | Kim bought it |
| 16:58.33 | spangborn | I dumped my echos |
| 16:58.37 | spangborn | I have 3 Home Minis now |
| 16:58.45 | youtah | I wanted the Google Home setup more |
| 16:58.55 | spangborn | I'll probably get the Nest Doorbell soon |
| 16:58.58 | youtah | but... Happy Wife... |
| 16:59.06 | youtah | I have the ring. It's okay |
| 16:59.07 | spangborn | So I can use the machine learning to turn off the doorbell for the missionaries |
| 16:59.13 | youtah | LOL |
| 16:59.14 | jfindlay | well if you're willingly wiring yourself into the collective, I have neither reason nor argument for you |
| 16:59.32 | youtah | lol jfindlay |
| 16:59.33 | spangborn | youtah: I like that it'll do announcements too |
| 16:59.38 | spangborn | "Jeff is at the door" |
| 16:59.43 | spangborn | LEAVE ME ALONE JEFF |
| 17:00.20 | youtah | *trap door opens* |
| 17:01.06 | youtah | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLaCqrisEac |
| 17:01.50 | youtah | "I'm still alive although I am very badly burned" |
| 17:03.21 | spangborn | OKAY GOOGLE TURN ON THE FLAMETHROWER |
| 17:03.48 | youtah | "You Shot me! You shot me in the arm!" |
| 17:03.49 | spangborn | That reminds me, I have an AmazonBasics space heater I need to destroy and send proof of destruction for |
| 17:03.55 | spangborn | so I can get my recall monies |
| 17:11.16 | youtah | spangborn just cost me $200 |
| 17:12.08 | youtah | THis is kind of fun... having you guys do my shopping for me |
| 17:12.12 | youtah | What's next? |
| 17:12.32 | youtah | Wifi Controller/automatic garage door closer with monitor? |
| 17:12.42 | youtah | waits for recommendations |
| 17:16.16 | RyanE | Most expensive one of those '#utah recommendations' for me was the Pebble Time Kickstarter... I saw it on #utah, joined the kickstarter 5 minutes later for a cool $179... :) |
| 17:17.09 | youtah | LOL |
| 17:17.18 | youtah | I think you got it when jlp_znc and I did too |
| 17:17.28 | youtah | I think Jayce^ was in on that as well |
| 17:17.32 | youtah | possibly spangborn? |
| 17:18.38 | spangborn | youtah: I have one of those too |
| 17:18.45 | spangborn | but I had to hack together some stuff to use Siri/Google for it |
| 17:18.53 | spangborn | Because they want me to pay a subscription for that |
| 17:19.25 | spangborn | https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/W5vC0ywp/1561051160.JPG |
| 17:19.44 | spangborn | Yeah, I was one of the original Pebble backers |
| 17:19.49 | spangborn | And backed every one after lol |
| 17:20.17 | youtah | IIRC spangborn showed us in here first, and we all followed suit |
| 17:20.31 | spangborn | They sent me every single watch for free after the original one |
| 17:20.36 | spangborn | Because I developed a bunch of apps for it |
| 17:20.45 | spangborn | and I moderated the /r/pebble subreddit |
| 17:21.03 | youtah | Have you gone to the pebble channel at all? |
| 17:21.10 | youtah | was it #pebble or ##pebble? |
| 17:21.31 | youtah | Looks like #pebble |
| 17:21.33 | youtah | ppl are still there |
| 17:21.43 | spangborn | They mostly moved to Slack and then Discord |
| 17:21.54 | spangborn | The Discord is pretty busy still, even with Pebble being a dead company |
| 17:23.07 | youtah | sighs while reminiscing about being an original backer |
| 17:26.16 | spangborn | I still have one functioning Pebble |
| 17:26.23 | spangborn | It's the round one |
| 17:26.33 | spangborn | I gave the rest away or sold them |
| 17:41.45 | RyanE | yeah, pretty sure spangborn was the instigator for my pebble time, which is still my daily driver. |
| 17:43.13 | spangborn | I wish Time Steel hadnt died |
| 17:43.25 | spangborn | Awesome little watch |
| 17:46.44 | RyanE | I was really pinning my hopes on the Time Steel 2 |
| 17:47.17 | RyanE | or whatever it was called. I found out my old age eyes (presbiopia) were getting to be an issue when I got my Pebble Time, and couldn't read it without reading glasses... :) |
| 17:47.30 | spangborn | Same, the Time 2 looked so good |
| 17:50.32 | jfindlay | my phone has a clock |
| 18:10.18 | RyanE | as does mine. |
| 18:10.32 | RyanE | my phone is not socially acceptable to check in meetings, but my notifications on the watch *are*. |
| 18:10.59 | RyanE | and checking time on my wrist is much easier than on my phone, in my pocket. :) |
| 21:20.36 | youtah | spangborn, |
| 21:20.40 | youtah | buy this |
| 21:20.45 | youtah | https://smile.amazon.com/Xiaomi-Electric-Long-range-Fold-n-Carry-Ultra-Lightweight/dp/B076KKX4BC/ref=sr_1_3 |
| 21:20.48 | youtah | and I will get one too |
| 21:21.05 | spangborn | You know those have a software vuln that hasn't been patched, right? |
| 21:21.49 | youtah | Sounds like a feature |
| 21:21.51 | youtah | not a bug |
| 21:21.53 | spangborn | https://www.wired.com/story/xiaomi-scooter-hack/ |
| 21:23.12 | youtah | like I said |
| 21:23.16 | youtah | it's a feature |
| 21:25.33 | keldwud | you know what else is a feature? |
| 21:25.40 | keldwud | snickers |
| 21:29.27 | keldwud | discord is better for social thing imo. slack just feels too much like work |
| 21:44.55 | jfindlay | slack is group chat purgatory |
| 22:17.00 | youtah | spangborn, I bought it |
| 22:21.48 | youtah | eightyeight... I see Tim is posting cryptic messages on FB again |
| 22:22.18 | eightyeight | ? |
| 22:22.35 | youtah | https://www.facebook.com/TimRiker/posts/10156709862015735 |
| 22:25.11 | eightyeight | i can no longer remove friend suggestions on facebook |
| 22:25.18 | eightyeight | "An error occurred. Please try again later." |
| 22:25.28 | eightyeight | same thing when i try to report any ad |
| 22:25.48 | eightyeight | always closing page suggestions, and marketplace suggestions |
| 22:25.52 | eightyeight | i bet they hate me |
| 22:26.45 | youtah | Facebook has been having a LOT of issues as of late |
| 22:27.26 | youtah | ~rot13 I love nachos |
| 22:27.26 | infobot | V ybir anpubf |
| 22:28.01 | romanovic | I want to know, can I block interstitial video ads with Pi-hole or something? because that's currently the most irritating facebook behavior to me |
| 22:29.02 | romanovic | I don't use facebook heavily, but I always move along when facebook shows ads in the middle of a video. but I never get to see the second half of the video |
| 22:29.11 | eightyeight | same |
| 22:29.45 | eightyeight | it's just a bad user experience, to interrupt the video for ad placement |
| 22:30.02 | romanovic | I keep hoping their metrics will show that it degrades the facebook experience and people aren't going to react well to ads holding the last 50% of a video hostage |
| 22:30.04 | eightyeight | because usually, it's not timed correctly, like a standard tv commercial would be |
| 22:30.26 | eightyeight | yeah. i never return. i close the video, and move on |
