06:23:11 <that_lurker> The use of the snowmobile has most likely dwindle a lot now that everyone has moved to the cloud and AWS most likely does not offer the option to move stuff out with it
13:51:45 <myself> I have this urge to set up a bunch of cardpunches and 9-track drives in a old uhaul or something and brand it as the Slowmobile
13:52:54 <nicolas17> that_lurker: they don't offer the option to move out with snowmobile, but I imagine moving from AWS to *on-premise datacenter* would be rare
13:53:21 <nicolas17> and you can't use a snowmobile to move to/from another cloud, since the other cloud won't let you pull up with the truck to their physical datacenter
13:53:25 <katia> cloud off-migration is a real thing
13:53:52 <katia> i hear if you pay cloud provider enough big bucks they will let you pull up wherever you want
13:55:16 <nicolas17> can I pay Microsoft enough big bucks that they will let me pull up with an AWS Snowmobile to move my data from Azure to AWS? :P
13:58:27 <myself> so for that, you need the Microsoft Bingmobile to meet the Snowmobile in a dimly-lit parking lot...
14:00:31 <katia> nicolas17, maybe
14:01:02 <katia> but it might be the same price of $your contracted rate for TB which is xx % off sticker price + the price of the bingmobile

18:42:47 <nulldata> "Pierson, the ex-Boeing whistleblower, testified today that this couldn’t be true. “I’m not going to sugarcoat this: This is a criminal cover-up,” he said. “Records do in fact exist. I know this because I’ve personally passed them to the FBI.”
18:42:55 <nulldata> Oof
18:50:06 <nicolas17> "internal and external critics say that Boeing’s priority was maximizing its profits"
18:50:15 <nicolas17> coincidentally I was just reading (and being disgusted with) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_v._Ford_Motor_Co.
18:53:45 <JAA> Corporations do corporate stuff. Who knew?
18:55:44 <nicolas17> JAA: worse, in the US they are legally mandated to do "corporate stuff [derogatory]"
18:58:17 <JAA> I'm not sure about the legal situation in Europe, but the outcome is more or less the same.
18:59:04 <nicolas17> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benefit_corporation like how is this not the default
19:00:26 <fireonlive> because we live in hell.
19:00:28 <fireonlive> this is hell.
19:00:39 <fireonlive> there is no redeemable quality to any of this.
19:00:47 <fireonlive> we were put here to suffer, and so we shall.
19:01:13 <fireonlive> any short glimmer of happiness is only to crush you harder when it's taken away.
19:01:30 <fireonlive> it's nothing but an endless cycle.

20:48:34 <fireonlive> wow from zucc to would fucc
20:49:21 <JAA> <bonk.webp>
21:08:01 <fireonlive> 😵‍💫
21:31:24 <JAA> TIL IA uses application/json-l for JSONL. This is still not standardised.
21:44:25 <fireonlive> tsk tsk
21:54:12 <systwi_> fireonlive: He's had the 2024-03 zuccbot update which adds a more humanlike appearance and 300+ new interactions. :-P
22:09:27 <fireonlive> ooh :P
23:45:13 <nicolas17> okay I think I figured out what issue each of these magazine pages belong to
23:45:39 <nicolas17> the cover lists *some* of the contents and I guessed the rest
23:46:41 <nicolas17> if the cover of issue 4 says it has electronic experiments 5, 7, 8, then almost certainly it has experiment 6 too
23:47:54 <nicolas17> if the cover of issue 5 says it has electronic experiments 10 and 11, it probably has experiment 9 too, it won't be part of issue 4 since there were only three or four on each
