13:32.22yaMattdid anyone else get the e-mail about the open source awards?
13:33.03yaMattit's funny because it's sponsored by the company that I left because they wouldn't let me do open source stuff
13:34.49morsingErm... And you left because of that?!

13:59.03ChoHag<CentOS> There was a problem with the intaller prior to writing anything wanywhere. Prior even to partitioning. The only button being presented, OK, will reboot without giving you a chance to examine the situation. have a nice day!

14:26.32dick_turpinmorsing: Dance for me.
14:39.04morsingNo
14:42.08dick_turpinmorsing: Go on, I bet you have the legs for it?
14:49.23ChoHagSomebody put a Kensington lock on this desk, with the cable wrapped around the leg.
14:53.50ChoHagWhy do employers look at me like I'm mad when I ask them what's on their network?
14:56.11dick_turpinMaybe because they think you're a nosy fecker?
14:57.04ChoHagWell yes. That's what they pay me for.
14:58.22dick_turpinThey pay you for peace of mind, not to actually find something!
15:00.00ChoHagThat's true actually.
15:04.58dick_turpinOf course it is. I should have picked up the odd business practice in the last 40 bleedin[g] years.
15:25.48ChoHagWhy do packages which add repositories to yum not also trust (rpm --import) the associated keys?
15:42.52dick_turpinI've never known a package add a repo? That's sounds dead dodgy to me.
15:51.23ChoHagIt's all the rage these days.
15:52.09ChoHagBecause people somehow manage to screw up adding entries to sources.list or yum.repos.
15:55.40dick_turpinEvery day I see more and more of the values people extolled about Linux over Windows being flushed down the toilet. For example you can now install stuff as a normal user on some Linux distro's! How that feck is that secure? It all went down hill when sudo came along IMO.
15:57.33ChoHagsudo is fairly typical of open sores.
15:58.11ChoHagGreat idea, could have actually made things better. Terrible execution.
15:58.46ChoHagSo everybody just adds ALL=ALL and considers it done.
16:00.15ChoHagAnd of course, sudo doesn't even pretend to attempt to fix the correct problem.
16:04.09ChoHagDoes anyone know how to add a block device (virtio) to a running kvm?
16:04.18ChoHagI noted down the magic incantation but I don't remember where,
