| 06:08 | <@abudhabi> | [R]: Can't view that page for some reason. |
| 06:11 | <@simon_> | I turned off facebook and am now thinking of adding my phone number to my website. but I don't want random weirdos calling me, which happened before, so I'm thinking about putting it there in form of an equation that can be solved on paper or perhaps by Wolfram Alpha (if the person can re-encode it). prime factorization is too easy. any ideas? |
| 06:13 | <@simon_> | I'm thinking at least one integral. but I don't know if it should be over a finite or an infinite range :) maybe a normal distribution! |
| 06:35 | <@abudhabi> | Write numbers as words ("six"), add spaces between each letter, encode letters as numbers (like a->12, b->3, c->55). |

| 07:11 | <@abudhabi> | Or you could do something like "first 8-digit prime found in digits of <some constant>". |
| 07:12 | <@abudhabi> | Would that be too easy? |
| 07:14 | <@simon_> | abudhabi, it wouldn't be easy to solve on paper. |
| 07:14 | <@simon_> | abudhabi, but otherwise a good idea! |

| 07:29 | <@abudhabi> | Though your number might not be prime. ;) |

| 08:07 | <@ErikMesoy> | You have a very weird life if prime factorization isn't good enough to keep random weirdos from doing the math to call you. |
| 08:20 | <@simon_> | ErikMesoy, I just figure multiplying two numbers isn't hard enough. |
| 08:21 | <&[R]> | abudhabi: https://www.lvsys.com/how-to-add-page-breaks-to-html-in-articles |
| 08:21 | <@simon_> | and yes, I do have a weird life. I ran an anarchist web bulletin board for a number of years, and the crazies that get attracted to that project is unbelievable! |
| 08:21 | <@ErikMesoy> | heh |
| 08:21 | <&[R]> | I litterally just googled "html page break" |
| 08:22 | <@ErikMesoy> | IME it's not so much "hard" that keeps people out as "hassle", and having to multiply anything is hassle. |
| 08:23 | <@ErikMesoy> | Dedicated stalkers can use integral calculators for hard problems anyway. |
| 08:23 | <@simon_> | there was one guy who would sit in a car outside my apartment and make threatening text messages. he basically went away after I had the police call him and tell him to stop. there was another one, a women, who would write and ask for computer help one third of the time, one third of the time she'd write profane accusations of me being a part of some conspiracy, and one third of the time apologizing for her r |
| 08:23 | <@simon_> | udeness. |
| 08:23 | <@simon_> | I just figure: solving an integral filters away the dumbest people. it'd filter away those two, certainly. |
| 08:25 | <@abudhabi> | [R]: But that's not quite what I mean. A document editor allows me to easily manage what goes on a given page. I would like to do the same with HTML. The ability to set pagebreaks is only part of the issue. |
| 08:26 | <&[R]> | *Shrugs* I don't know what your full usecase is |
| 08:26 | <@ErikMesoy> | simon_: Consider setting up googlebait. Have a unique verbal phrase describing the problem; put up a math-teacher-looking page which includes that phrase a couple of times and presents a wrong solution. |
| 08:29 | <@simon_> | ErikMesoy, hehe, that is certainly elaborate. :) |
| 08:30 | <~Vornicus> | why do you want to put your phone number on your website |
| 08:30 | <@abudhabi> | [R]: I am writing a technical manual for use by people who are only tangentially technical. The previous one, that I'm redoing, is written in PPTX, and that's horrible, because that requires me to use specific software on a specific platform to display properly and edit properly. |
| 08:32 | <@ErikMesoy> | PDF? |
| 08:32 | <@abudhabi> | [R]: My first choice for alternatives would be the older DOC formats, because they are usually adequately displayable and editable across platforms and softwares. The users of the document are expected to use Mac, Windows and/or Linux of some sort - PDF is nice for viewing, but worse than useless for editing. |
| 08:33 | <@abudhabi> | [R]: HTML is much better than even the older DOC formats because it's almost guaranteed to be displayed right. The problem is pagination, because the document is meant to be printed for general use. |
| 08:33 | <&[R]> | Don't save the editable as PDF. |
| 08:33 | <&[R]> | Use some kind of office software, export to PDF when you've got a releasable version. |
| 08:33 | <@abudhabi> | That's what I do. |
| 08:33 | <@abudhabi> | But that's not the issue. |
| 08:35 | <&[R]> | As for HTML, I hand-code everything, so I can't suggest editors for you. IIRC Frontpage allowed the insertion of page breaks. Otherwise you'll have to do something that can get a CSS page-break. |
| 08:38 | <@simon_> | I'm failing miserably to install Windows Server 2012 R2 on a 30TB RAID. turns out Windows needs UEFI+GPT to handle such large (virtual) drives. turns out normal USB installers don't work when switching to UEFI boot. turns out UEFI boot disks must be FAT32. turns out my 2012R2 .iso has a 4.5GB file that won't fit a FAT32 partition. appears that splitting this into a FAT32 'BOOT' partition and NTFS 'DEPLOY' par |
| 08:38 | <@simon_> | tition would work. turns out Windows won't mount 'removable' USB disks with multiple partitions. turns out all regular partitioning tools don't allow toggling that 'removable flag'. |
| 08:40 | <@simon_> | I've been tinkering with these tools, RMPrepUSB and Easy2Boot to get a USB that I can copy these files onto. this would be seriously easy if I had Linux. >_< |
| 08:40 | <@simon_> | okay, f*ck it. I'm installing Linux at work. |
| 08:43 | <&[R]> | :p |
| 08:43 | <&[R]> | Then VM the manditory Windows bits |
| 09:28 | <@simon_> | hehe |
