i infer they're similarly realistic m0unds: i've never intentionally watched it
but i've been exposed to it by people who watch it, and it's turrible ix33: i watched csi:cyber after the slashdot article to see what all the outrage was about
it was so bad i couldn't stop watching m0unds: hahaha hazardous: me and my friends do a weekly synced livestream w/chat
whenever csi cy ber is out
i'm pretty sure people will die if this continues
spoiler, this is printer malware that set a printer on fire http://i.imgur.com/IHwgfkc.jpg m0unds: shots when information is accessed without a warrant? hazardous: and this is BIOS malware http://i.imgur.com/01TzYro.jpg
source code ix33: oh you can't screenshot that stuff
green code! BryceBot: That's what she said!! m0unds: AAAAAHHH ix33: as if the things they say aren't stupid enough m0unds: they forgot to patch the "fire" method on the printer? hazardous: ix33: in case it's not obvious yet, that's the html source of a wikipedia page with really bad find-replace ix33: you have to scrutinize the crap they put on the monitors
hazardous: oh nice. i didn't realize that m0unds: oh boy
i'll just continue to not watch it hazardous: one of the recurring themes was in their code editor, all malicious code is automatically highlighted red m0unds: haha hazardous: and all clean code is automatically green
so they only have to search for red parts
they spend like half an hour discussing this across a few episodes
and how useful the feature is m0unds: i always knew the life of a security researcher was easy
that proves it ix33: i like how IP addresses are always definitive identification hazardous: and instead of using like CBS studio IPs or private ranges
they're always like 33958.148.438 ix33: ah yes i caught that too hazardous: there was another csi franchise that used IPv6 ix33: 192.168.1.999! hazardous: with ; : . a-z, including x y and z
and a few spaces
and a dash somewhere ix33: lol nice hazardous: https://i.imgur.com/ddlUHCC.jpg theres another one too ix33: awesome
then there's the cliched "access granted" on the international baby blackmarket website hazardous: also all firewalls are simply username/password prompts brycec: There was a tumblr I used to read that snapshotted and identified the shit tv shows and movies put on-screen
(wish I could remember the name now) RandalSchwartz: IT Crowd had an O'Reilly Camel on the wall for a few episodes. ) brycec: IT Crowd had legit geek cred
Their set was furnished by geeks RandalSchwartz: clearly. And some of the dialog was also not just blah-blah brycec: Even Moss' rant about "hooking the driver function" had a strong basis in reality
which was rad RandalSchwartz: in the opening episode, yes!
... http://theitcrowd.wikia.com/wiki/The_IT_Crowd_Wiki brycec: See. the driver hooks the function by patching the system call table, so it's not safe to unload it unless another thread's about to jump in and do its stuff, and you don't want to end up in the middle of invalid memory...

poulsen has joined #arpnetworks mercutio: mkb: ubuntu needs so much /boot space
all their bloody kernel upgrades.
along with huge kernels staticsafe: mercutio: yeah its annoying
i have to keep doing apt-get -y autoremove mercutio: static: i size /boot bigger
but sometimes i come across systems with small /boot
you kind of need 1gb for /boot
i'm shifting to custom kernels slowly again anyway

oh and in initramfs you can change "most" to "dep"
but yeah my kernel is smaller than their kernel, plus no initramfs.
MODULES=dep in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf
that system has that
on real machines it means if you change sas controllers or such you may run into issues with modules=dep though[15:33] <mercutio> with vm's it should be fine. staticsafe: i should redo my template ***: reardencode has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer) RandalSchwartz: RR to level3 looks like it's dropping significant packets
ae-4-90.edge6.LosAngeles1.Level3
getting better again ***: reardencode has joined #arpnetworks up_the_irons: yeah i'm seeing the same mercutio: i hardly have anything to test to over levl3
but from what i can tell it looked like mostly just any2ix had issues ***: poulsen has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 272 seconds) mnathani_: whats a relatively inexpensive IP controlled power switch / power bar mercutio: most people use apc
but they're not really considered inexpensive. phlux: Would it be appropriate for me to start a gofundme page for music equipment?
That way my current followers can contribute donations? mercutio: yeah
sure
people use it for all kinds of things these days phlux: Cool mercutio: it kind of surprised me how well it works phlux: I want to do something where certain donations get certain promotions mercutio: kickstarter has that phlux: Like, for XX amount, you'll get the album once it's produced mercutio: i haven't paid muuch attention to gofundme phlux: for XX amount, you'll get the album and a T-Shirt mercutio: how much are you aiming for? phlux: $2,900.00 will get me the live equipment I need and help recoup some studio costs
It's really more like $4,500.00, but I'm investing in myself some too mercutio: mnathani_: random ebay thing i noticed: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Liebert-MPH-Managed-Rack-PDU-1U-Black-MPH-NBR09NXXF30-800100677-/391084235014?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5b0e6fd906 phlux: but I know others have asked how they can help, and I never really have an answer, because I don't want to just say "Oh just give me cash." mercutio: i don't really know your requirements though
hmm, that's 200+v
i wonder what voltage arp is running on.
phlux: from what i understand you can probably get $500 to $1000 without even needing t-shits, albums etc. phlux: That would be awesome mercutio: but yeah if you want like $5000 probably a good idea to have albums/tshirts.
phlux: i think facebook etc makes this stuff "easier"
especially as far as getting 10 friends or somethign to donate money
and more acquaitances.
like someone who's seen you play once may donate $20, $50 etc. phlux: yeah mercutio: it wouldn't have been how i guessed it would work, but seems to be how things happen in general. phlux: I've got a lot of followers on FaceBook who found me just because they've been to a show mercutio: but yeah, canvasing friends for money i wouldnt' expect to be so fruitful.
hundreds? thousands? phlux: Definitely not that many
I wish
More like 60-70 mercutio: yeah probably need to work on presentation a bit phlux: but I have several friends/family that attend a lot of shows when I'm local mercutio: maybe you should do another show as a fundraiser too? phlux: that's in the planning stages, actually
It's going to be more of a promotion/fundraiser mercutio: yaeh
yeah phlux: business cards, website links, giveaways, that sort of thing mercutio: got any youtube videos? phlux: actually, I have one old one from a few years ago mercutio: make a new video too then phlux: but we're working on getting more recent ones from recent shows online mercutio: cool.
the whole small musician thing is so mucuh easier to get publicity these das. phlux: yes it is
and it helps than I can do my own website management :P
I've got people to provide the content
but I can handle the technical shit BryceBot: That's what she said!! mercutio: yeah i wouldn't even focus on web site stuff at first though
facebook, twitter first. phlux: I'm not really, other than to put audio out there
So people don't have to download my music manually mercutio: just use youtube
ahh ok
are you doing digital albuum sales too? phlux: we plan on it mercutio: i'm curious to see what it's like :)
can i see your youtube? phlux: We're researching how to end up on YouTube
er
on Spotify
Hah, sure, it's just an old video my wife recorded in my house of me doing a Pearl Jam concert mercutio: your more recent stuff is on sonducloud? phlux: My (very close) cousin had died earlier that day, and Pearl Jam was his favorite band mercutio: damnit my typign suucks today. phlux: to be honest, most of my more recent stuff is recorded locally and not on a computer yet
but, I can share a cover with you mercutio: ahh ok phlux: I threw this page up with some songs I just recorded in front of my laptop mercutio: so you don't record direct to computer? phlux: http://www.phluxbox.com/kmtmusic/?page_id=2
just to test the audio player (which I don't like)
some crude recordings, but they're servicable
Naw, I have a studio I go to for more professional recordings m0unds: phlux: have you looked at soundcloud?
they have an embeddable player that's pretty decent phlux: and for live recordings we use a tapeout on the mixer mercutio: cool. phlux: m0unds: I haven't, but I will. mercutio: i think the voice should be louder than the guitar.
sorry
i'm critical :) phlux: It is in the actual recordings
and especially live mercutio: cool. phlux: I'm very particular about the clarity of my vocals mercutio: yeh you're only using one mic? phlux: in those recordings on the site, yeah
I literally just recorded a couple of things on my laptop to throw up mercutio: yeah phlux: as a test, really mercutio: your mic can't be too bad. phlux: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3qhh9PIbTc BryceBot: YouTube Music: "Kevin Thompson - Black (Pearl Jam Cover)" by Kevin Thompson (4m 50s), 63 views. Uploaded 2013-04-28T02:50:28.000Z. phlux: There's me doing Pearl Jam's "Black" a few years back
Just at home
I tell you what
This weekend I'll put some better recordings up of my originals mercutio: cool phlux: and I'll share them with you guys for helping me out/being interested
I know you all might not think much of it, but it means a lot to me that you've shown interest and offered assistance mercutio: heh phlux: even just saying "congrats on a good show" goes a long way with me mercutio: i wish i could play guitar well
i prefer this older one to the newer ones :)
even with the worse production quality
it probably helps i know the song :)
why do you play it so high up the neck btw?
is the song normally like taht?
ok i'll shut up now :) phlux: haha sorry
yeah, that song is played way up there
it's got some funky chords mercutio: i think it's the strings
the highs sound all muffled on youtube
but it may be just youtube
i'm trying to find a bloody pick.
i have to learn guitar more haha
and buy new strings probably phlux: I restring religiously mercutio: i use elixir long life strings
which helps a little phlux: I do too on my acoustics
Super Slinkys on the electrics mercutio: they sound good fater like 3 months m0unds: ernie ball, wut wut mercutio: d'j whatever ones sound shit after 2 weeks phlux: I just use elixers because they don't break m0unds: yeah, i have elixirs on my acoustic because they don't rust and don't break mercutio: my electric has fucked pickups phlux: I mean, they do, but not as frequently as others m0unds: i use d'addarios on my electric, flatwound strings on my 4-string bass and on one of my electrics phlux: I've got a Taylor acoustic and a Fender Sonoran acoustic, and the Fender is my favorite mercutio: how often do you change? phlux: For electrics, I've got a strat, tele, and jaguar
Tele is my favorite m0unds: i have an ESP viper, washburn idol and jackson dinky phlux: mercutio: I restring after every show or every two weeks
whichever comes first for that guitar mercutio: yeah that's quite quick :) m0unds: my acoustic is a washburn something or other, d-100 i think phlux: m0unds: I feel like we play two different types of music haha m0unds: i play a bit of everything mercutio: hmm mine is takamine phlux: mercutio: can't risk breaking during a show m0unds: my jackson and esp are both ~15 years old phlux: I also change my 9V out on my acoustics before every show m0unds: so they date back to my high school days :) phlux: I used to buy/trade all the time mercutio: hmm that reminds me i have some cable to plug into computer phlux: but I've calmed down since I moved out on my own mercutio: with usb direct m0unds: i bought a PODxt when i moved out so i could play without annoying apartment neighbors mercutio: i have a washburn bass.
i can't play bass for shit m0unds: my basses are a fender jazz bass w/dimarzio pickups and a yamaha 5-string something or other with active electronics that i kind of hate mercutio: buut it's fun to make the house wobble around m0unds: but i bought it pretty cheap and it's well made (just the electronics are awful) mercutio: hmm my bass is active too, so is my electric guitar.
what's wrong with active m0unds: nothing
just the electronics in my bass suck
if i refit it w/emgs or something it'd be fine
but there's no point
doesn't actually switch off the electronics when it's unplugged so it regularly kills batteries if i fail to pull them mercutio: http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/reviews/bass_guitars/washburn/xb125
this is what i have m0unds: nice mercutio: except it's not black
and it was bought second hand m0unds: http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/reviews/bass_guitars/yamaha/rbx775 that's the yamaha i have
i bought it used for less than $200 to try out bass playing when i was like 18, haha mercutio: heh m0unds: i think i got it in 2003 mercutio: how much wsa the bass amp?
damnit where is my pick m0unds: i bought an ashdown 4x10 and head to gig with mercutio: it shows i haven't tried playing in a long time m0unds: haven't played a show in probably 10yrs, played w/friends' bands years and years ago mercutio: i was really keen to learn stuff before there was an earthqauke where i lived m0unds: ah mercutio: and i was really motivated
then like all motivation dropped afer earthquuake
and my electric guitar got a little damaged
and i completely got out of rhythm etc.
it helped that i had a neighbour tghat played guitar that always came around
i seem to only want to try and get better when people play around me.
finally found a pick :) m0unds: haha, right on mercutio: yip need new strings
is ebay the cheapest place to buuy strings? m0unds: umm, maybe mercutio: i probably should get some locally if i want to get quick
otherwise i'll lose enthusiasm :)
but i was wondering if i should get a few packs or something as well m0unds: yeah, the only strings i don't buy locally are the oddball ones (flats) that my local places don't offer without special order
i used to buy from juststrings.com a lot mercutio: last time i bought strings locally i asked for a discount and got it :)
surprisingly the markup isn't that insane
for some reason tehy always have more than one music shop near each other
so you can just go the other one if the first one doesn't have stock here
ernie oddball are popular though? m0unds: ernieball? yeah
i meant oddball as in weird
flatwound strings vs round wound strings
the winding material isn't round wire, it's flat wire
so instead of squeaking when you move your fingers on the strings, it's mostly silent
on a bass it can make a fretted bass sound almost like a fretless or upright bass (but not quite, since some of the tonality comes from contacting wood vs metal frets) mercutio: yeh that's common here?
isn't it called slinky or something
or is that something different m0unds: different mercutio: ahh ok m0unds: slinkys are round wound ernie ball strings mercutio: ahh ok m0unds: nickel usually, but they do steel too (which sound a little brighter and harsher) mercutio: yeh i think that is what i have for my electric m0unds: more mass for your pickups though, so they can also sound louder too mercutio: i should figure out if i can fix my pickups
it cuts out all the time
it fell over
i think something landed on it
it's like the only seriously damaged thing i had though
and it's so much easier to play than acoustic
because the strings are close to the neck
i dunno why people say you should start with acoustic
it seems harder? BryceBot: That's what she said!! m0unds: might check to see if you have a weak solder joint on the vol/tone pots
or if you have a pickup selector, there mercutio: well it's physically pushed in too
and it was immediately after earthquake
but yeah the soldering may be loose
but it needs to be positioned properly somehow too
i imagine where the scre goes in as pushed athrouugh a bit
i think i'm going to try taking it somewhere that does repairs
but maybe i shoudl check myself first m0unds: should have adjustment screws
wait, bass or guitar? mercutio: guitar
yeah buut i think it's pushed through m0unds: oh
hm mercutio: i can't even remember the make of it
i should have another look
one was worse than the other
it doesn't look that bad actually
schecter
mostly the paint is chipped a bit
actually it seemes like the selector for pickuups is the biggest issue
that may b eeasy to fix
when you have a pots that makes noise when you move it around
that normally means it's old and needs replacing, right? m0unds: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/doing_business/leap-second.html#%7EProductInformation wee mercutio: but if it suddenly did that after water damage does that mean it may be able to be cleaned? m0unds: yeah, you could try potentiometer cleaner
it'll get rid of scratchiness if it's not caused by corrosion mercutio: well it got bad suddenly
but i think fish tank landed over it
surprisingly no strings broke m0unds: oh mercutio: i can probably replace the pots
and the switch
buut i duunno if the pickups are ok
hmm pickups cost heaps
looks to be around $150 US for pickups plus shipping
so hopefulyl it's just the pots :) ***: mnathani_ has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 246 seconds) mercutio: i don't think it's as bad as i thoguht it was
