01:58 DaemonFC; Oh, I thought you mean running DC to AC and plugging in a fridge and a space heater.

01:58 DaemonFC; Yeah, that fucks your warranty.

03:28 DaemonFC; I like the new voting laws in Illinois. I just think that we need to give a look at how easy it is for "volunteers" to try to have ballots disqualified.
03:28 DaemonFC; It seems a bit odd that the government will even pay for the postage for your ballot, yet there's 80-90 year old volunteers sitting there getting to decide if your signature looks "exactly" right.
03:29 DaemonFC; If they don't like the way you voted, I guess, maybe your signature is a bit "off" that day?
03:30 DaemonFC; Anyway, I came back into "the fold" for the Democrats this year. There was a Republican plot to try to steal the City Council seat in my Ward, and it seems to have blown up on them.
03:30 DaemonFC; They knew they'd never get that nasty old racist in unless they propped up some "Independent" candidate that couldn't win, which was helpfully "Hispanic" like the Democratic candidate and ran on "good government", whatever that is.
03:30 DaemonFC; He did not explain.

04:04 DaemonFC; So he didn't end up using any sick hours for that.
04:04 DaemonFC; It was unpaid, but no sick time lost.
04:05 DaemonFC; PTO hours are something you might as well use anyway. They eventually take them away if they overflow at the end of the year.

04:07 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], I always tell Mandy to just take the holidays where the store is closed unpaid.
04:07 DaemonFC; Don't burn PTO for that.\
04:07 DaemonFC; Use it for vacation the next year when the weather isn't crap and keep us below the income for those sweet sweet tax credits.
04:07 DaemonFC; There's nothing wrong with "optimizing" your tax rate as long as everything you're telling them is the truth.
04:08 schestowitz[TR]; but wait
04:08 schestowitz[TR]; depends
04:08 schestowitz[TR]; if the employer does it
04:08 schestowitz[TR]; then it can be an issue
04:08 schestowitz[TR]; like "shaping"
04:08 schestowitz[TR]; the payments
04:08 schestowitz[TR]; to lower taxes
04:08 schestowitz[TR]; that can be a tax crime
04:08 schestowitz[TR]; but if the salary is split among a couple, that's ok
04:08 DaemonFC; Well, taking unpaid time off to pay less taxes and then burning it for vacation is sort of like comp time.
04:08 schestowitz[TR]; if they are both employed
04:08 DaemonFC; It's allowed.
04:09 DaemonFC; You're just banking PTO to use at some other point.
04:09 DaemonFC; You end up with two less paid days and then you apply the PTO time to a day you would have normally worked.
04:10 DaemonFC; I've been able to use various tricks to prevent us from earning enough to lose a nice tax credit.
04:10 DaemonFC; It keeps us just under, each year.
04:11 DaemonFC; One thing that helps is that the tax tables are being adjusted for inflation faster than our income is rising.

04:12 DaemonFC; Due to inflation, we can make another $2,500 this year before losing the full value of this credit and having to take it at the 20% rate instead of the 50%.
04:12 DaemonFC; We missed the cutoff by about $900 last year I think.
04:13 DaemonFC; I predict that we'll make about the same amount of money this year, perhaps $1,000 more.

04:55 DaemonFC; He said it was "work" because there wasn't anything enjoyable about it.
04:55 lord_bagirus_maximus; nobody would plan on having kids until they were like 50 and then most of them would find themselves unable to reproduce instead of a big woopsy at 16-17 like so often happens

04:56 DaemonFC; Then at the end they would edit it down to maybe 20-30 minutes of "the best stuff".
04:56 schestowitz[TR]; saying "performers" instead of "pornstars" makes it more noble?
04:56 DaemonFC; And it looks like two people fucking.
04:56 schestowitz[TR]; like they are actors in a movie
04:56 schestowitz[TR]; not just someone who spreads wide or thrusts
04:56 lord_bagirus_maximus; I prefer the term "media and film prostitute"

11:57 t0talist; also, comparing against RISC-V, for i486 i may not need any most recent kernel-version, an old one suffices
11:59 t0talist; and otherwise, there is alot of options for i486 compatible hardware, which too is a benefit over aarch32/aarch64
12:00 t0talist; it is alot of work
12:01 t0talist; another thing i appreciate, bootstrappable already did hack together the entire bootstrapping up until tcc; which can all be verified, 100% from source
12:02 t0talist; their initial hex0.bin bootcode, is 2KiB give or take another... nothing much to fear hidden inside, and all else is opensource
12:02 t0talist; and free/GPL
12:02 t0talist; i wish i could say the same about the hardware-development side and tooling... that's the altera/xilinx realm mostly
12:03 t0talist; or the type of complex software, doesn't comfort my mind
12:03 t0talist; such as, reminder, a strict no-c++ policy i follow... even when hardware-development tooling was free/open, it probably violates that policy
12:04 t0talist; btw. if i can abandon aarch32/aarch64, then i won't need to worry about uboot-loader re-write, to support a non-GNU tcc-toolchain, and removal of python-swig/c++ there... which would have been another few weeks or month of work, to get rid of the last remains of c++ poison hiding inside there

12:05 t0talist; it's still free/open, no-c++, etc.
12:06 t0talist; if i repaired kernel, then there shouldn't be a hard blocker remaining
12:07 t0talist; i am not sure about musl-libc, which may have problems with linux-2.4, but there was other options for a libc to choose from
12:07 t0talist; uclibc-ng, newlib, dietlibc etc...
12:08 t0talist; with these, i am still a little worried, because of the x86 ASM parts, and the fact tcc may not digest those easily, and binutils required just for a few lines of asm and gas macros
12:08 *Noisytoot has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)

12:18 t0talist; and it's too interesting, on a historical scale

12:24 t0talist; MinceR: that's a misnomer
12:24 MinceR; lol
12:25 t0talist; but it is true, General Electric too reported problems, to hire educated staff, for their PDP11 stuff
12:25 t0talist; which nowadays, is probably executed inside emulators... another problem...

12:29 t0talist; for example with vim there was a git-plugin, to mark individual lines inside vim, if those were altered, added, removed... rather useful, but not necessary in the end
12:29 t0talist; i just open another terminal, git diff the thing, and live with it
12:29 t0talist; anyway, hardware-side... that's difficult to cope with nowadays, when you wanted to remain sane

17:40 DaemonFC; I turned it on and exempted some sites.
17:40 DaemonFC; It basically unloads some background tabs when they've gone idle.
17:41 DaemonFC; I remember people complaining when Firefox was taking over 1 GB of RAM.
17:42 DaemonFC; Now modern browsers routinely go over 6-7 GB and nobody says anything.
17:42 MinceR; well, we basically have a choice between blink eating all the RAM, failfox eating all the RAM and "modern" websites just plain not working
17:43 DaemonFC; Yeah, pretty much.
17:43 DaemonFC; There was an extension called the great suspender that basically did what Chrome is doing now.
17:43 DaemonFC; It's an ugly workaround because when the tab wakes up again it has to work to reload everything.

18:04 DaemonFC; EDM is the only music in Poland. I learned this too on Polski FM. Even their national anthem is probably EDM.
18:04 MinceR; there are plenty of difficult consonant clusters though, which are often written in such a way that makes them seem even more menacing

18:11 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], I was actually looking into what would be needed to add a supercharger to the Buick.

18:11 MinceR; i thought that was a relatively easy mod
18:11 schestowitz[TR]; she speaks 5 langs
18:11 DaemonFC; Some of it is software.
18:12 DaemonFC; You have to reflash the Powertrain Control Module.
18:12 MinceR; maybe it was easy on older, simpler cars
18:12 DaemonFC; Then there's a kit which contains way more than just the supercharger.
18:12 schestowitz[TR]; <DaemonFC> schestowitz[TR], I was actually looking into what would be needed to add a supercharger to the Buick.
18:12 schestowitz[TR]; it has drained your buegdt
18:12 MinceR; does your buick lack power, though?
18:12 schestowitz[TR]; without it, you would be like 25 dollars better off
18:12 schestowitz[TR]; no rising price of fuel either
18:12 MinceR; the supercharger will likely shorten the lifespan of your engine
18:12 schestowitz[TR]; 25k
18:13 DaemonFC; You'd end up spending about $1600 but you'd bring the car up to about 260 horsepower.
18:14 DaemonFC; It's rated at 205 without the supercharger.
18:14 schestowitz[TR]; cars suck
18:14 schestowitz[TR]; planes suck more
18:14 DaemonFC; The supercharged version went into the Pontiac Grand Prix GTP.
18:14 schestowitz[TR]; bicycles have issues with them too
18:14 schestowitz[TR]; feet are slow
18:14 schestowitz[TR]; but you don't need to use foot locks
18:14 DaemonFC; The supercharger is different than the turbos they use now.
18:14 schestowitz[TR]; in the us the foot mechanic is 'free'
18:14 schestowitz[TR]; it's called NHS
18:14 schestowitz[TR]; *in the uk
18:15 schestowitz[TR]; "modern" car suck the most
18:15 schestowitz[TR]; they are not cars
18:15 schestowitz[TR]; they're /also/ cars
18:15 DaemonFC; It hooks into the exhaust system and uses the exhaust pressure to run what's basically a gigantic air pump to force more clean air in through the intake.
18:15 schestowitz[TR]; like today's "phones"
18:15 DaemonFC; So you're talking software, engine parts, and an exhaust system mod.
18:15 schestowitz[TR]; you pay for a ton of things you neither want nor need
18:16 schestowitz[TR]; even some kitchen appliances have become like this, but you can still avoid those
18:16 MinceR; my cars weren't so bad
18:16 schestowitz[TR]; i read the other day 70,000 dollars for a new car is now "normal"
18:16 MinceR; and they get me to places nothing else would, especially the current one
18:16 DaemonFC; It increases the density of the air going into the engine, but to accomplish this, you're also going to need to adjust the fuel delivery rate.
18:16 schestowitz[TR]; some people work for what? 3-4 years just to [pay for the car
18:16 schestowitz[TR]; that they only use to commute to work?
18:16 DaemonFC; Which meeans your fuel economy comes down a bit.
18:17 DaemonFC; It gets more power out of the same engine by essentially running it harder.
18:18 DaemonFC; Yeah, that's why these engines got another series of upgrades. It was to accommodate the strain of running a supercharger, but even the non-supercharged Series III got those upgrades and became a more reliable engine.
18:18 MinceR; https://pleated-jeans.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/tumblr-gets-deep-3-30-23-14.jpg
18:18 DaemonFC; It made no sense to run two assembly lines when at the end of the day it could be the same engine until it got to the last phase of production and they decided which car they'd use it in.

18:20 DaemonFC; The 3800 V6 was "obsolete" by 2010, oh yeah.
18:21 DaemonFC; If by that you mean it didn't get the best gas mileage, or performance for its size.
18:21 DaemonFC; But none of these KIA engines runs for 300,000-400,000 miles and 25 years without many issues.
18:21 DaemonFC; You're lucky to just make it out of the car payment phase before it starts shitting all over you and you sell it for scrap.
18:22 DaemonFC; So there's a lot to be said for the 3800 V6. When you look at gas mileage, yeah, these little foreign cars generally do a lot better, but they're not built to last.
18:22 DaemonFC; They don't use a lot of metal in them either.
18:23 DaemonFC; While the Buick has some rust spots on the inner part of the frame, it's goint to take several more years yet for the car to start showing it.
18:23 DaemonFC; Hondas and Toyotas are a rustbucket by this age even though they probably still run.
18:23 MinceR; depends on which little foreign car you mean
18:23 DaemonFC; Because it takes the rust less time to eat through the metal when it's wafer thin.
18:24 MinceR; some of them were built to last longer than any usian car since the oil crisis
18:24 DaemonFC; The Japanese cars are okay except for what I just said.
18:24 MinceR; at least some toyotas do have good rustproofing
18:24 DaemonFC; If you live in a rust state, prepare for them to look real, real, bad after like 10 years.
18:24 DaemonFC; Even if you go to the car wash regularly.
18:26 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], With the Impala, I was starting to get structural problems with undercarriage rust.
18:26 DaemonFC; I even had to replace the fuel filler neck.
18:27 DaemonFC; It rusted through and caused a small gas leak.
18:28 DaemonFC; I ended up replacing the metal fuel line between the tank and the engine because it became so rusted that it too was leaking and the fuel filter had also plugged up and could not come off without finishing off the line.

18:42 DaemonFC; Twitter doesn't do anything about child pornography. In fact, a Nitter instance was shut down because someone complained of child porn that came from Twitter and had been accessible through the proxy.
18:42 DaemonFC; But no action taken against Twitter.
18:44 DaemonFC; MinceR, You'd think it would be pretty easy for the Ukrainians to slip behind Russian lines and inflict severe damage. Apparently, the only thing the Russians have as an IFF system is whether "Z" has been spray painted on the tank in white spray paint.
18:44 DaemonFC; Just spray paint Z on a bunch of them and put Ukrainian tank crews that speak Russian in them.
18:45 DaemonFC; How would the Russians know until it was too late and they were already being shot?
18:45 MinceR; what do the geneva conventions say about that?
18:45 MinceR; also, they could just use sticky tape and remove it when done

18:50 DaemonFC; Also, kidnapping children to be sent to re-education camps/
18:50 DaemonFC; If you want to get down to what is "legal" in war, then Putin has shown an utter disregard for the law.
18:50 MinceR; question is, does ukraine want to violate them too
18:51 MinceR; or is looking to obtain help on the basis that the orcs violate them and the ukrainians don't
18:51 DaemonFC; Including attacking and kidnapping civilians, and treatment of POWs, which the Russians don't even feed properly.
18:51 MinceR; also, i think it's time to isolate the national communist axis of evil from us

18:52 MinceR; red china and moscovia both spam our commmunication networks and manipulate our elections
18:52 DaemonFC; And now better countries don't even want to join the EU.
18:52 MinceR; while they themselves run societies in which there's hardly any exchange of information
18:53 DaemonFC; Yeah, the Biden Administration has no love for Putin.
18:53 MinceR; i think it's time the west stopped trading with those who help moscovia circumvent the sanctions
18:53 MinceR; and cut off moscovia and red china from the Internet
18:53 DaemonFC; The danger of drawing the war out instead of just giving the Ukrainians what they need to pry the Russians out of their country quickly is....
18:53 DaemonFC; Trump may win the election, cut them off, and then Putin wins.
18:53 MinceR; yeah
18:53 DaemonFC; Which is probably what Putin is hoping for, and why he stays.
18:54 MinceR; plus lots of innocent people get tortured and killed
18:54 MinceR; and lots of innocent children get abducted and brainwashed
18:54 DaemonFC; Trump surfaced and made the midterm elections all about him.
18:54 DaemonFC; And it did enormous damage to the Republican Party.
18:55 DaemonFC; They would have won the Senate without him. They would have kept Michigan without him, and the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
18:55 DaemonFC; He's not an asset.
18:55 MinceR; part of the "republican" party insists on worshipping him though
18:56 DaemonFC; Poking his head out and making "endorsements" fires up the left and reminds the voters of all of the freedom they've lost.
18:56 MinceR; the party will probably end up split by him
18:56 DaemonFC; And at least in Michigan and Wisconsin, things are shifting and going away from the Republican Party.
18:56 DaemonFC; There's definitely a realignment going on here.
18:56 DaemonFC; All of these Republicans that give up and move to Florida, well maybe they live in Florida now, but the people who stay behind take over the Midwest.
18:57 DaemonFC; The Republicans figured that after Roe went away, abortion momentum would be towards more and more bans.
18:58 DaemonFC; But half the bans are unenforceable right now due to court orders, and voters have either struck down or elected politicians that repealed them in several states.
18:58 DaemonFC; So the momentum is not going towards banning abortion.
18:58 DaemonFC; I think if anything, when the dust settles, it'll be banned in like 12-16 states maybe.
18:59 DaemonFC; The fact that the Indiana Supreme Court wouldn't stay the injunction while it considered the case tells me something.
18:59 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 34.13 k/sec., IPFS upstream 215.23 average k/sec., average swarm size 0
18:59 DaemonFC; Usually if they're just going to rule against the people bringing the suit, they stay the injunction so the state can just keep continuing to enforce the law.
18:59 DaemonFC; Because they know full well what they're going to decide.
19:00 DaemonFC; If they'll uphold it, why stay the law for months and let more women get abortions in the mean time?
19:00 DaemonFC; That having been said, their terms eventually expire and there are retention elections.
19:01 DaemonFC; But people like my mother are so badly informed they just vote yes to keep judges they don't know anything about.
19:01 DaemonFC; I always vote to get rid of the judges.
19:02 DaemonFC; Rarely does one get removed from office, but my statement is "I have no confidence in the court system or any of its officials, so no."
19:03 DaemonFC; Since 2010, only two Illinois judges have lost retention, and both in Cook County.
19:03 DaemonFC; One of them was for allowing the police to extract confessions via torture.
19:04 DaemonFC; I had no idea when I voted No that he had that going on.
19:04 DaemonFC; So I voted to remove him without knowing anything about him.
19:04 DaemonFC; I figure the safer assumption anyway is to remove them.
19:04 DaemonFC; They've all done something wrong even if it's not criminal.
19:05 DaemonFC; Because they're all part of the state anyway, and they're all there to hurt the public.
19:05 DaemonFC; Most of the public, anyway.
19:05 DaemonFC; What do they do all day? Send people to prison and sign eviction orders.
19:05 DaemonFC; They don't even stop to look at the cases.

19:41 DaemonFC; https://abcnews.go.com/US/idaho-governor-signs-abortion-trafficking-bill-law/story?id=98399580
19:41 TR Bot; Idaho governor signs 'abortion trafficking' bill into law, 1st of its kind - ABC News
19:41 DaemonFC; The law probably is constitutional because most states have "Traveling to Meet a Minor" laws that involve travel that involves that state somehow.
19:42 DaemonFC; While those laws were designed to give prosecutors something else to throw at people who have sex with kids, the Idaho "abortion trafficking law" restricts travel too.
19:42 DaemonFC; Just for a different purpose.
19:43 DaemonFC; Then again, it could also be unconstitutional under Saenz v. Roe, a California case where California made traveling to bring an indigent person into the state a felony, and lost.
19:43 DaemonFC; The Supreme Court (in 1999) said that Americans have a right to travel between the states and it doesn't matter what their financial status is.
19:44 DaemonFC; Odd as it may seem, California and now Idaho may be setting us up for pedophiles convicted of "traveling" to get their conviction for that particular count reversed at an appeals court.
19:45 DaemonFC; Not that it will help much because that's usually not the worst thing on the indictment.
19:45 DaemonFC; If Americans have a general right to travel, then where does it stop? It's a legitimate question to ask a court.
19:47 DaemonFC; Traveling charges usually involve three things the state has to prove. 1. Intent 2. That you used a particular means of travel to go some distance and what that was. 3. That the travel in question involved the state somehow (began, ended, or went through the state in question).
19:48 DaemonFC; As ridiculous as it sounds, it's not a straightforward accusation to make, because the prosecution has to prove guilty mind was the reason the travel took place in the first place, and how that travel occurred and involved the jurisdiction where the charges were brought.
19:48 DaemonFC; Also, if the minor travels to meet the adult, then it's not Traveling.
19:48 DaemonFC; Because there is no "Traveling to meet an adult.".
19:49 DaemonFC; So we've now had states try to restrict travel due to poverty, pedophiles, and abortions.
19:49 DaemonFC; And in the case of poverty, it was struck down by the Supreme Court.

22:22 XRevan86; DaemonFC: What are "cheques"?
22:23 DaemonFC; Generally, in the US, "check" is a financial instrument. A promissory note with consequences. In British English it would be "cheque" but you never see it written that way here.
22:24 XRevan86; DaemonFC: I was implying that bank cheques are not a thing in general in Russia and probably in most other places that aren't the US.
22:25 DaemonFC; I don't think I mentioned banking in Russia.
22:25 DaemonFC; I don't know how they bank there.
22:26 XRevan86; DaemonFC: Read your statement more closely, ye are talking about fishy dating applications. They ban the gay ones of course.
22:26 DaemonFC; Generally in the US, if you want to move money around, there's cash, checks, EFT (electronic funds transfer) which is really archaic and relies on giving your account number to the other institution, mobile apps like PayPal and Venmo, credit/debit, and "Zelle", which is a system used for payments from one bank to another that they standardized several years ago to work around shortcomings and privacy issues in EFT.
22:27 DaemonFC; But I've faked my GPS coordinates before and planted myself in Russia that way.
22:27 DaemonFC; And there were people on Grindr there.
22:27 DaemonFC; So they're finding some way around that, obviously.
22:28 DaemonFC; If I had to guess, it would be sideload the APK, use a VPN to get around the ISP bans from the government, and then the app opens up and works normally.
22:28 DaemonFC; Usually "bans" just target the most straightforward way to make something work.
22:29 DaemonFC; Which is cool, in its own way, because it would weed out a lot of the idiots.
22:29 DaemonFC; The police in Illinois have a heavy presence on Grindr.
22:29 DaemonFC; They can't arrest you just for using it, so they pretend to be like 16 or something and try to seduce you.
22:30 DaemonFC; And then use whatever you say to someone that doesn't exist in court.
22:30 DaemonFC; Up to 2012, the age of consent in Illinois WAS 16.
22:30 DaemonFC; They raised it to 17.
22:30 DaemonFC; And now they're trying to raise it again to 18.
22:31 DaemonFC; Stallman was actually right when he said they're trying to take the law and bend it all out of shape to change what it means to be an adult or "close enough" that you can make informed decisions that society has always granted people before.
22:32 DaemonFC; If I had to guess why that is, it's because the population is getting old, and the older people are allowed to get, the more people (who are legally adults) are "children".
22:32 DaemonFC; Once a person is in their 80s, they start calling people in their 30s "children".
22:32 DaemonFC; So it stands to reason that in an aging country, things are going this direction.
22:33 DaemonFC; In other ways, they've jacked up the age to smoke, the age to drink (a long time ago).
22:33 DaemonFC; But never the age to be thrown into the middle of a war.
22:34 DaemonFC; It's always fine to throw "children" into a war. What does this imply if you think people 18-26 are "kids" but you throw them into the middle of a war? That you're creating child soldiers?
22:34 DaemonFC; Doesn't this make a person worse than a pervert?
22:35 DaemonFC; We usually use the term "child soldiers" as a way of implying that the country is broken and in shambles and on the verge of a civil war.
22:35 DaemonFC; If not in one already.
22:36 DaemonFC; A civil war in the US today would be well underway before anyone even realized what had happened.
22:37 DaemonFC; In the 1860s, there were no nuclear weapons. No real thing as an armored vehicle.
22:37 DaemonFC; Today, there's actually no safeguard that even requires the President to launch a nuclear missile.
22:38 DaemonFC; If the people in that silo agree to launch it, there's not really a lot you can do to stop them. The verification program is not actually enforced other than authenticating to the people in the silo that the launch order comes from the President.

22:59 DaemonFC; Smith had walked into the store while holding the hand of a child, according to Lake County Assistant States Attorney Francis DeRosa.
22:59 DaemonFC; Smith used his left hand to pick up a basket and the victim accidentally bumped into Smiths basket, DeRosa said.
22:59 DaemonFC; DeRosa said Smith punched the victim, causing him to collapse to the ground.
