00:44 schestowitz; it looks like it might be 2 crates
00:44 schestowitz; one on top of another
00:44 schestowitz; they don't send these to residential places
00:44 schestowitz; but to high-profile datacentres
00:44 psydroid2; every big company is working on its own server processor
00:44 schestowitz; with million-dollar loans

01:19 schestowitz; "
01:19 schestowitz; But apparently it gets yet worse. This is the part which is mostly speculative. From what I heard, she said, Purism money is now going to Forbes and social media campaigns without the transparency of what is really happening. Phoronix is one of their media outlets.
01:19 schestowitz; I can believe the part about Forbes, knowing how theyre manipulated. But Im not sure about Phoronix.
01:19 schestowitz; Media manipulation is possible, I responded, but I wont vouch for it. Michael Larabel isnt perfect, I often wonder what he does with hardware shipped to him (among other things), but theres no evidence they pay him or are in cahoots, so that seems unfair. Please dig further with your contacts. Eventually I will write about this.
01:19 schestowitz; "
01:19 schestowitz; "
01:19 schestowitz; AnonymousFor the sake of accuracy lets just assume at least for now that Phoronix covers Purism stuff because Phoronix readers care about it. That seems a lot more plausible to me
01:19 schestowitz; As we already are pretty certain, she said, that Forbes takes money I mean, just even looking at the content Forbes puts out about certain tech is telling. Phoronix was a question, but is looking more and more like a media outlet that takes money too based on the Purism story.
01:19 schestowitz; Phoronix recently did a story thats actually an interview with Purism folks. But nothing suggested that it was promotional. Nothing that I could see.

01:35 psydroid2; I saw it a long time ago
01:35 schestowitz-TR2; it was there

05:07 TR Bot; Intel fails to get Spectre, Meltdown flaw lawsuit tossed The Register
05:40 DaemonFC; I don't know. My mind is sort of stuck in the 80s-2000s as far as software goes. All the software I want to run has no DRM. Either it never did, the company removed it, or someone cracked it a long time ago.
05:41 DaemonFC; And a lot of it runs in emulators. It's funny how little "Linux" software I really use. Some applications, a web browser... Mostly it just gets Windows and all of the viruses and bugs and failures out of the way and lets me run my programs some other way, even if that's through emulation or non-native API simulations.
05:42 DaemonFC; Windows isn't just insecure by design, it's also exceedingly bloated. Hilariously so considering how much backwards compatibility with itself is just gone now.
05:42 DaemonFC; So it's like, where did the compatibility argument go? It's gone.
05:43 DaemonFC; And all they have is this morbidly obese OS that's full of bugs and viruses, a product of a bygone age, and they're trying to bludgeon it into a "Chromebook killer" and they really have no idea how stupid they look.
05:44 DaemonFC; I'm just twenty years ahead of everyone else I guess. 20 years ago, the psychiatrists charted that the way I dressed was sort of dumpy. I wonder how many of them are alive to get a load of this shit.
05:45 DaemonFC; I was never dumpy enough to go out to eat in my pajamas and bathrobe, but that's like half of all Americans now.
05:45 DaemonFC; Maybe I've just always been depressed enough that I didn't give a fuck, and now everyone else is catching up and I'm no longer so crazy compared with them.
05:46 DaemonFC; You have to have a gauge, ruler, yardstick, whatever, by which to judge anything.
05:46 buzzert; you go out in your pajamas all the time?
05:46 DaemonFC; No.
05:47 DaemonFC; I just mean there's so many people who are actually worse than me now that I'm faded into the background.
05:47 DaemonFC; I used to at least get a rise out of people.
05:47 buzzert; curious what you mean by "dumpy"
05:47 DaemonFC; Oh, when I was a teenager, I used to give a middle finger to the school dress code by wearing windbreaker outfits with sandals and socks.
05:48 DaemonFC; Well, earlier maybe. 12 and up.
05:49 DaemonFC; Just did it because I thought it was hilarious. It didn't technically violate the dress code because they wrote it such that as long as no part of your feet were bare, it wasn't considered wearing sandals.
05:49 DaemonFC; So you just wore them with socks.

07:28 immibis; 10 minute requests is not scaling
07:28 wallacer; >10 minute requests is not scaling
07:28 wallacer; what's your average peer latency
07:29 wallacer; and how rare is that file?
07:30 immibis; the file possibly doesn't exist on the network, I copied something from a random tutorial just to see if IPFS worked. Is it expected that requesting a nonexistent file never finishes?
07:30 *techrights-ipfs-bot (~techrights-ipfs-bot@suig26pxj59pi.irc) has joined #techrights
07:30 wallacer; of course, it keeps searching for it in the DHT
07:30 wallacer; "nonexistent file" is meaningless to IPFS, either it's reachable via DHT or not
07:31 wallacer; and if the file is rare or unshared as of now it will scour the DHT till the end of time to see if it can find it
07:31 immibis; well that's silly
07:31 immibis; what kind of system is that
07:32 immibis; with no possibility of failure
07:32 wallacer; my only recommendation is don't use your centralized system intuition towards distributed systems
07:32 wallacer; that just doesn't work
07:32 immibis; ok i'll try something that I know does exist
07:32 immibis; resolving the IPFS tutorial itself returned almost instantly
07:33 wallacer; also ensure you have at least IPv6 enabled so that you are directly reachable
07:33 immibis; but still wtf why is there no failure case
07:33 immibis; surely it should get to a DHT node where the file *should be* and then say "oops, it's not here"
07:33 wallacer; there's no nodes where it should be
07:34 wallacer; >When searching for some value, the algorithm needs to know the associated key and explores the network in several steps. Each step will find nodes that are closer to the key until the contacted node returns the value or no more closer nodes are found. This is very efficient: like many other DHTs, Kademlia contacts only O ( log ( n ) ) {\displaystyle O(\log(n))} O(\log(n)) nodes during the search out of a total of n {\displaystyle n} n nodes in
07:34 wallacer; the system.
07:34 immibis; isn't the DHT based on some similarity between node ID and content ID?
07:34 wallacer; I'm not sure if IPFS works this way, but this is how Kademlia works
07:34 immibis; eventually it will find the closest node, and there is no closer node, and the file isn't on that node, so there's nowhere else to look, right?
07:34 wallacer; immibis: the file may not be at the node which is the closest to the content
07:34 immibis; or does it have to try random paths to see if there's a closer node?
07:34 wallacer; it searches outwards
07:35 wallacer; plus there'll be lots of nodes that equally close to the content ID
07:35 wallacer; err it actually searches inwards from the peers your node knows about
07:35 immibis; okay well it's reasonably fast for content that does exist, so that's okay then
07:36 immibis; you think I can DOS opensea by minting some NFTs with nonexistent IPFS hashes?
07:36 wallacer; you'd have to mint a ungodly amount of NFTs
07:36 immibis; well if the search never returns
07:36 wallacer; because IPFS is also parallel, it can search for multiple things at once
07:36 wallacer; and searching isn't very computationally expensive, just high latency
07:37 immibis; and an NFT is just an index into a smart contract - it's the contract which costs money - you should be able to make one with 2^256-1 NFTs in it
07:37 immibis; maybe it even encodes the NFT index as the IPFS hash so it's a contract with every possible IPFS hash in it
07:37 wallacer; you'd be blocked by your internet b/w making requests to create OpenSea auctions
07:38 wallacer; at that point why not just flood it with random requests, you are DoSing the b/w after all

07:46 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 16.31 k/sec., IPFS upstream 186.93 average k/sec., average swarm size 256.52
07:46 immibis; I've seen IPFS compared to BitTorrent. I wonder why we don't just use HTML-over-BitTorrent
07:47 SomeH4x0r; wtf are those "\"smart\" contracts"?
07:49 immibis; SomeH4x0r: chunk of code on a blockchain, executed determistically lockstep by every node when it processes a transaction directed at the code block
07:49 immibis; s/lockstep//
07:49 SomeH4x0r; remote code execution as a feature?
07:50 immibis; obviously you do not simply execute unsandboxed blocks of x86 code. Typically it is EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine)
07:50 immibis; the only interaction allowed is with the data on the blockchain
07:50 SomeH4x0r; fork bomb
07:50 immibis; also you pay real money per instruction
07:52 immibis; an example of a smart contract would be something like an exchange. you send me 5 units of magic internet money A, I send you 10 units of magic internet money B, but they either both happen or neither
07:52 immibis; actually their data storage abilities are used to create extra types of magic internet money, since you can write a smart contract that remembers who has which amount of the magic internet money, and exposes function calls to transfer it
07:54 immibis; same with NFTs but there is no quantity. instead of the quantity you have an index of which NFT it is
07:56 immibis; wallacer: when fetching a directory, does the client try to get all the contents of the directory from the same node that was hosting the directory, or does it look them up individually?
07:57 wallacer; iirc directories are technically the same as any other piece of data in IPFS
07:57 wallacer; the UnixFS directory model is just a file that refers to other files by a name and a content hash, along with some other attributes
07:58 wallacer; and then if you further open files in that directory they will be fetched like any other
07:58 wallacer; closest node known and inwards as usual

07:58 wallacer; >fork bomb
07:58 wallacer; you can fork bomb, but be prepared to pay a few millions
07:59 wallacer; and ultimately all miners get rich, you get poor
07:59 wallacer; a win-win perhaps
08:01 immibis; wallacer: sounds expensive to do a separate lookup for every block of data
08:01 immibis; maybe normalize storing tarballs in IPFS
08:01 immibis; instead of directories
08:02 kingoffrance; thats what freenet did , zip files
08:02 wallacer; as mentioned asking nodes on a DHT to see whether it has a file is not very computationally expensive, just high latency
08:02 wallacer; >maybe normalize storing tarballs in IPFS
08:02 wallacer; you can, just store tarballs
08:02 wallacer; there's a fundamental tradeoff here
08:02 wallacer; if you are only interested in a specific part of a tarball, you'd have to download the whole tarball
08:02 wallacer; otherwise you can't validate the hash
08:02 wallacer; but with UnixFS you can refer to a specific file
08:03 wallacer; there's the other directory model, I don't remember the name
08:03 wallacer; you can just download that part only
08:03 wallacer; if you download all files in parallel it'll probably be faster than downloading the tar because the whole tarball would have a limited swarm, and you can't pin a specific file only
08:04 immibis; aren't files already split up into blocks? you would just download the relevant blocks. so it wouldn't be any faster anyway
08:04 immibis; because you'd have to look up all the blocks
08:04 wallacer; >aren't files already split up into blocks? you would just download the relevant blocks. so it wouldn't be any faster anyway
08:04 wallacer; I'm not sure but I'm fairly sure validation of the CID hash would be problematic then
08:04 wallacer; you can't pin blocks of a file since the DHT works by CID and not block ID
08:04 immibis; the CID hash is based on the block hashes I assume
08:05 immibis; or is that done at a lower level. Seems silly to do it at a separate level from directories

15:47 activelow; XRevan86: yes, and this is what USA foreign policy tries to capitalize upon, and too "EU", because the Gas sold by russia is ~10% of the "re-seller" prize in EU

17:33 SomeH4x0r; are you double agent?
17:33 bnchs; steam is shit, unity is shit (they literally have spyware that sends an email to you if you're idle), discord is shit (you know why)
17:33 SomeH4x0r; you == the "community managers", people who think they represent the community. Or, if it is sane, the people who set up the bot or the website
17:35 bnchs; the discord part is literally a tutorial about how to get a discord overlay in games
17:35 bnchs; are you guys drunk?
17:35 schestowitz; bnchs: not how I'd put it, 2 are proprietary

17:37 bnchs; modern games are just gambling hell nowadays
17:37 schestowitz; I dislike DRM and all this crap
17:37 SomeH4x0r; even singleplayer?
17:37 schestowitz; but this is strategic
17:38 schestowitz; I later found out RMS is on the same boar
17:38 schestowitz; get them off Windows first
17:38 schestowitz; then show them freedom-respecting things
17:38 bnchs; valve games also have the trend of trading and gambling and shit
17:38 SomeH4x0r; my opinion is that "either you benefit a small group of people, or you cause damage to everyone"
17:38 schestowitz; games are a bit different IMHO
17:38 SomeH4x0r; so I don't want to interact with big communities anymore, when I can avoid them
17:39 bnchs; they figured out how to apply real world currency value on a virtual item
17:39 schestowitz; because unlike driver hell you can sort of compartmentalise them away
17:39 schestowitz; I don't game

17:40 schestowitz; he has some nice code-generated art
17:40 bnchs; valve games also have the trend of gatekeeping and isolating people who don't want to pay (F2P vs P2P), and also restricting their rights in every update
17:41 schestowitz; not only valve
17:41 schestowitz; epic and others also, i suppose
17:41 schestowitz; games and ganbling are connected
17:41 schestowitz; and the overzealous streaming monopolies of "sport"
17:42 schestowitz; that would knock down your door in raids if you 'insult' their copyright monopolies

19:02 DaemonFC; Maybe the US economy can recover if we release a virus and then sell people test kits and masks for it.
19:03 DaemonFC; They did up the vaccine or test mandate and then made it hard to find enough acceptable tests at around the same time to pressure people into taking an experimental vaccine.
19:04 DaemonFC; The state has been on a tear figuring out reasons to shut down testing clinics it was fine with before.
19:05 DaemonFC; schestowitz, At least I've got a pile of free quick tests now. That's nice.
19:05 DaemonFC; The urgent care was charging people $400 for a visit to take a test that costs $8.99 retail.

19:06 DaemonFC; I like how all of these at home tests are out there now and they cost less than 10% of the cost of going to the doctor and getting a lab interpretation.
19:07 DaemonFC; When I was looking at COVID self-tests, I found a 7 panel at home STI test that retails for $149.99 that tells you if you have HIV 1 or 2, Syphilis, Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, Trichomoniasis, and Hepatitis C.
19:08 DaemonFC; If you have no insurance and you go to a doctor and get tested for all of that, you'll walk away with lab bills for over $1,000 and a doctor's visit for $400-500.
19:08 DaemonFC; It's no wonder doctors don't want you to be able to test yourself.
19:08 DaemonFC; You can do it once or twice a year. Usually it's nothing, and you don't have to go to the doctor unless it is, and you already know what's wrong.
19:11 DaemonFC; Doctors don't like this for the same reason divorce lawyers don't like online software that files your divorce papers and serves your spouse. People see that it'll cost $700 to do it with software and $25,000 to each get a lawyer, and suddenly a lot of them aren't contesting anything anymore, and then the software works.
19:13 DaemonFC; Lawyers spent all this time and lobbying effort trying to make the courts inaccessible to the public much like doctors don't want you to go around them and know anything about your own health.
19:14 DaemonFC; It was so expensive and complicated to get a divorce that mom told me that she knows several people who just stayed married, on paper, and moved out, and got different houses, and started living with the next person.

19:15 DaemonFC; And then once you get in there, the judge starts assigning debts and splitting up property and accounts, and you don't know who it will be the bigger disaster for.
19:15 DaemonFC; So yes, it keeps the marriage intact, sort of, but in the worst possible way.

19:25 DaemonFC; Google is doing what Microsoft did in the 1990s.
19:26 DaemonFC; They add things without going through any standards process and then developers use it and they don't care if it's a standard or not, and Google makes their own websites hard to use properly without it. An advantage that not even Microsoft ever really had.
19:27 DaemonFC; Now they're at a point where they can just keep adding malicious features that their users don't want, and it's impossible to resist in a meaningful way because if you use another browser some of the Web won't work right.

19:29 DaemonFC; When Google said it was deprecating the webkit vendor prefix because things were getting crazy, what they really meant was they were removing Apple's ability to throw any weight around because Chrome would implement it the next time they rebased.
19:30 DaemonFC; THey want to marginalize Firefox because it still lets you do a few things that aggravate them.

19:34 bnchs; poeple rip music from spotify, which IIRC they use ogg files for the music
19:34 bnchs; which means the music is lossy and might sound like shit to a non-human
19:34 DaemonFC; It's like some crazy setting though. Higher than anyone would actually use to store it locally.
19:35 activelow; most of the "music" is horrible quality; in particular with compression/re-encoding (any codec such as mp3, ogg), because ...
19:35 bnchs; i would rather pick FLACs ripped from CDs than spotify
19:35 activelow; those encoders need digital headroom, and the audio-signals are clipped already before fed into a re-encoder (mp3,ogg)
19:35 DaemonFC; Well, back in the late 90s, just going from a CD to an MP3 was worse than taking a 320k Ogg Vorbis file and transcoding it to 320k MP3 today.
19:36 DaemonFC; The MP3 codecs back then were just really bad, and people still used them anyway and mostly didn't notice.
19:36 activelow; FLAC won't introduce additional clipping, however the original productions on audio CD are already clipped horribly, almost always
19:36 DaemonFC; Most of the pirates weren't licensing the "good" encoders that used FhG MP3.
19:37 DaemonFC; They were just compiling ISO encoders or forks of the ISO encoder that made it faster.
19:37 DaemonFC; So you got extremely broken encoding routines and that went straight out to file sharing.
19:37 DaemonFC; And it was enough to inflict serious damage on the record labels.
19:37 activelow; furthermore, once a digital audio signal was ruined with any processing (dynamic range compression, clipping etc) this cannot be recovered anymore
19:37 TR News; Congrats to @mariusNestor now that #9to5Linux is listed in #gulagNoise (Google 'News') along with all that spam and #plagiarism ... 9to5Linux can raise the s/n ratio.
19:38 activelow; the problem isn't the encoders itself, most of them are audibly transparent, the problem is missing headroom such encoders require for signal sampling

22:40 DaemonFC; "Linux" has swiped a bunch of concepts that surfaced on all kinds of operating systems, both UNIX-like, and not.
22:40 DaemonFC; Including various BSD systems, Solaris, BeOS, and Plan 9.
22:40 DaemonFC; It doesn't behave entirely like any particular type of "UNIX" system. But it's vaguely UNIX-like.
22:41 DaemonFC; But people have retconned everything vaguely UNIX-like as "Linux".
22:43 psydroid2; and then you start macOS starting up and showing all this "Linux" text on your screen
22:44 psydroid2; but "Linux" sucks because you need to use the terminal and have to keep fiddling with your settings

23:50 DaemonFC; It's a persistent leak. I mean, what good does the Tor Browser do you when Microsoft Pretender is there hooked up to it, reporting everything it does back to Microsoft?
23:50 schestowitz; to the point firefox started to choke because some corporate server in another country could not be reached
23:50 schestowitz; today they said again firefox is all about privacy
