My next flight will probably come with a free cavity search.
Hey, if it saves you on dental bills, why not!

@mott555 They are that thorough, eh?
That reminds me of the comedian talking about his last prostate exam. "Hey doc! If you need to check my tonsils, there is an easier route!!"

@error I think someone was inspired by the "Cooking Hostile: Cooking with Phil Anselmo" videos.

STATUS I think I'm becoming an anti pattern. Half my methods appear to be exposing shit for tests that will never run.

Have you ever sat dawn in the morning, feeling unusually motivated, thinking "I got a feeling that I'm actually going to be productive today!", then looked at the clock and realized that literally 5 hours just passed by somehow?
Yeah, that sucks.

Yeah, that sucks.Nonsense. Just be an optimist.
"I am 5 hours closer to having a drink in my hand than had been previously thought. Yay!"

Learning to use Pattern Lab. Wondered why some strange things were going on. Turns out I am WTF, because I had an old version of Node JS.

@Polygeekery said in The Official Status Thread:
But...holy shit she is pretty amazing. Playing all the instruments for rapper's delight, keeping tempo well enough that all of the individual tracks can be merged together coherently...kinda rubbish on vocals though.
She has a Patreon:
https://www.patreon.com/sina_drums
$252 per video, at her age. That's pretty awesome. When I find stuff like this I feel more optimistic about future generations. I hope that 10 years from now I recognize her as the kick ass drummer for a band that doesn't suck.

I remember when I used to see a wall of text and actually read through it.

I just realized my BenQ monitor has speakers.
Too bad they are about the worst speakers you've ever heard.

@cartman82
Monitor speakers via HDMI out are great...as auxiliary output channels to capture with OBS while the actual speakers are set to 0 volume.Actually using them as speakers is

@cartman82 Monitor speakers are always terrible.

Even through headphones, the sound isn't half what it is through the front panel. I just tried it on my second Dell monitor, the same shit.
Whatever standard HDMI uses to pass audio, it's some weak sauce.

@cartman82 It's not HDMI's fault, it's the bottom-of-the-barrel DACs used in the monitor combined with the cheapest-of-the-cheapest speakers installed in the bezel. Usually the speakers more than the DAC.
I have a pair of old (~10-year-old) ASUS monitors that did audio fine if you plugged decent speakers into the headphone out jack and it was sourced by HDMI.

I spent more than 300 euro on various wireless headphones, so I can lay on my couch and listen to music off my PC.
I ended up with earbuds off my phone.
FUCK technology.

Status: I like my new boss on my current project. He's a proper whizz at numerical analysis, knows a decent amount about hardware and programming, is sane about prioritising, and took his team to a good afternoon tea establishment today. I'm too damn full now, but that's a good sort of discomfort…

That would be a surprising twist for people who don't know you're British.

Status: randomly browsing through the Jargon File, and found this quote:
‘Microsoft Windows’. A thirty-two bit extension and graphical shell to a sixteen-bit patch to an eight-bit operating system originally coded for a four-bit microprocessor which was written by a two-bit company that can't stand one bit of competition.

Also:
A pair of Microsoft internal strategy memoranda leaked to ESR in late 1998 that confirmed everybody's paranoia about the current Evil Empire. These documents praised the technical excellence of Linux and outlined a counterstrategy of attempting to lock in customers by “de-commoditizing” Internet protocols and services. They were extensively cited on the Internet and in the press and proved so embarrassing that Microsoft PR barely said a word in public for six months afterwards.
Need to check this out some day.

@izzion said in The Official Status Thread:
Did you power cycle (reboot) the cable modem between changing devices it was connected to? By design feature, cable modems will only authorize the first MAC they see after boot up.
No, but I also connected the same device to it first (after wiping that device).
I finally fixed it by turning a spare dual-NIC server into a router so...
It got an IP fine.

No seriously, it keeps happening. I took a break that felt like 10 minutes, 20 minutes tops. Looked at my watch, it was 46 minutes.
At this point I remember that watch that vibrates every 5 minutes and suddenly the idea doesn't seem so bad.
