00:00 matey; the first year that i had to deal with systemd
00:00 matey; i really fucking hated him
00:00 matey; for destroying gnu/linux
00:00 psydruid; I already hated him for pulseaudio
00:00 matey; right?
00:00 matey; however
00:01 matey; and im not condoning a single octet of his work here
00:01 matey; this is silver lining territory
00:01 psydruid; which I had to disable on my laptop to get decent non-crackling sound out of my soundcard
00:01 matey; the biggest drawback of systemd isnt systemd
00:01 matey; its the way the industry and its shills bent the fuck over for it
00:01 matey; and demanded the same of us
00:01 matey; thats where 99% of my ire about systemd goes
00:01 matey; we could have stopped this
00:02 matey; one man, at least of every living human i know, did absolutely everything he could.
00:02 psydruid; systemd is the nail in the coffin of gnu/linux
00:02 matey; he should get a fucking medal
00:02 matey; he was way ahead of devuan
00:02 matey; way ahead of me
00:03 matey; way ahead of everyone i can think of
00:03 SomeH4x0r; Poettering is not an issue himself. I think he has a corporation behind him.
00:03 matey; <SomeH4x0r> Poettering is not an issue himself. I think he has a corporation behind him <- more or less
00:03 matey; but i think he HELPED
00:03 SomeH4x0r; he did
00:03 psydruid; but systemd/gnu/linux will "win" by becoming "windows"
00:03 matey; "people say 'guns dont kill people'... but i think the gun helps!"-- izzard
00:04 matey; yes it will win by ceding
00:04 matey; "win by forfeit" is the essence of open source
00:04 psydruid; as long as people can play their "precious" games
00:04 matey; also known as "if you can beat them, join them"
00:04 matey; "whats PID 1, precious?"
00:06 matey; <matey> one man, at least of every living human i know, did absolutely everything he could. <- must be obvious to everyone else, since no one asked
00:06 bnchs; can we mark every human with their own PID
00:06 matey; no thats what ipv6 is for
00:06 psydruid; but it may not be a bad thing if it replaces "the system formerly known as windows"
00:06 matey; (as if imsi isnt enough)
00:06 bnchs; matey: PID is a single number
00:07 psydruid; as that is an even worse codebase
00:07 bnchs; independent of how much the CPU can support
00:07 matey; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_fingerprinting
00:07 TR Bot; Radio fingerprinting - Wikipedia
00:07 matey; An electronic fingerprint makes it possible to identify a wireless device by its radio transmission characteristics. Radio fingerprinting is commonly used by cellular operators to prevent cloning of cell phones a cloned device will have the same numeric equipment identity but a different radio fingerprint.
00:08 matey; i believe this relies on the laws of physics, rather than drm
00:09 matey; <bnchs> matey: PID is a single number <- im not sure how ipv6 is different in this regard
00:09 bnchs; it's not per device
00:09 bnchs; it's per human
00:09 matey; ahh, fair point
00:09 bnchs; like a social security number
00:09 bnchs; i can do a kill -s SIGKILL 1001029130
00:10 matey; so when people die we can use their pid for identity theft :)
00:10 bnchs; or pkill -s SIGKILL johndoe
00:10 bnchs; matey: the pid increments

00:16 *psydruid was being extremely cynical about what's happening to people in Tibet and Xinjiang
00:16 matey; thats reasonable
00:16 matey; cynicism is justifiable
00:17 matey; im even in favour of it, as long as it doesnt become a crutch
00:17 matey; but i know youre smarter than that, so i dont worry
00:17 matey; it really is justifiable
00:17 matey; cynicism is normally better than throwing the monitor
00:17 matey; the world says "fuck everything" and the cynic says "whatever"
00:18 matey; later we can say more and maybe even do something about it
00:18 matey; but at least we dont have to go buy a new monitor
00:18 matey; so as a first step, cynicism is practical
00:18 matey; its a way of expressing rage that 9 out of 10 monitors prefer

00:21 psydruid; I've never been that destructive or pessimistic, but I try to be realistic most of the time
00:21 matey; realism has limitations
00:21 matey; the wright brothers didnt care about being realistic
00:21 matey; i beat a dead horse with them, only because they represent such a triumph of human ingenuity
00:22 matey; in the face of 99% of the scientific world thinking they were literally nuts.
00:22 matey; and they werent even scientists, they were BICYCLE DESIGNERS
00:22 matey; but when they were done, they were (at LEAST) engineers
00:23 matey; thats the kind of human spirit free software needs to get back
00:24 psydruid; I think there is something wrong with software in the first place
00:24 matey; also they started simple and iterated, which i fucking love
00:24 matey; <psydruid> I think there is something wrong with software in the first place <- interesting, what?
00:24 psydruid; or maybe even the field of computer science
00:24 matey; oh definitely
00:24 matey; i mean it has its good points
00:24 matey; most things do
00:24 psydruid; it makes no sense to reinvent everything every 30-50 years
00:25 matey; oh i think it makes more than none
00:25 matey; but fashion is way overdone
00:25 matey; its one thing to reinvent things every few decades
00:25 psydruid; you don't see that in natural sciences, which is where I come from
00:25 matey; its another to drag everyone else through that shit
00:25 matey; industry isnt a natural science :)
00:26 matey; its more of a cult
00:26 matey; and cults and narcissists have to keep reinventing themselves
00:26 matey; imagine what would happen if the spanish inquisition showed up right about now
00:26 matey; the original one
00:26 matey; youd have cardinals getting red on a lot more than their outfits
00:27 matey; theyd be toast
00:27 psydruid; imagine having to throw out the laws of Maxwell, Newton and Einstein because they are "old" and we should get with the "new"
00:27 matey; cults and narcissists have to reinvent themselves constantly, because otherwise people would catch on to their bullshit
00:28 matey; <psydruid> imagine having to throw out the laws of Maxwell, Newton and Einstein because they are "old" and we should get with the "new" <- indeed, this is the thing about computing i reject
00:28 matey; but
00:28 matey; there is this thing where
00:28 matey; when you get new tools...
00:28 matey; you want to go out and redo everything with new tools
00:28 matey; and while thats really terrible for some things, i get it, at least
00:28 psydruid; I was misled into thinking the field was young and things hadn't settled yet, but instead it all turned into complete garbage
00:29 matey; if you keep inventing the wheel, eventually some idiot is going to make a square one, and tell people round is out of date
00:29 matey; the problem is really that the industry pushes people around
00:30 matey; if people are free to laugh at this shit, and nothing can stop them from doing that, then its probably okay
00:30 matey; which is different from ideal
00:30 matey; but resources being what they are, it becomes a fight for those every time some idiot makes the square wheel OF THE FUTURE

00:31 matey; and youre right that its far from a scientific attitude
00:31 matey; which is why i spent so much time talking about how our attitude about this could be more scientific
00:31 matey; not perfectly so, just more reasonably so
00:31 matey; i mean the cults we have to deal with are based on marketing and bullshit
00:32 matey; and the needs of industry douchebags
00:32 matey; aka "developers developers developers"
00:32 matey; which really means industry
00:33 matey; "microsoft! microsoft! microsoft! microsoft!" "microsoft! microsoft! microsoft! microsoft!"-- what ballmer really meant
00:33 matey; we have to reinvent everything-- so microsoft can sell it to us
00:33 matey; then a few years later, we have to do it again
00:34 matey; just like printer manufacturers arent in the printer business, theyre in the ink cartridge business
00:34 matey; microsoft isnt in the software business, theyre in the make users redo everything all over again (INNOVA~1) business
00:35 matey; if they gave a shit about software they would have taken windows outside and shot it years ago
00:35 matey; it serves their purposes
00:36 activelow; chopping long filenames was common with many early computer systems, reason being limited RAM, a few dozen KiB of it
00:36 matey; why sell the cow when you can sell the milk for so much more?
00:36 psydruid; I wonder how it serves anyone else's purpose
00:36 matey; it doesnt
00:36 matey; thats where marketing comes in
00:36 activelow; reminder, the early altair basic was punched onto a paper tape 4KiB max
00:37 matey; when a drug dealer sells you something highly addictive, theyre not considering anyone elses needs but their own
00:37 matey; its just business
00:37 activelow; some CP/M didn't support sub-directories... another such problem in the early days
00:37 matey; it takes a lot of marketing to sell people a model based on profiting from everyone else shooting themselves in the foot again and again and again

00:45 matey; all you need to operate an altair is a long piece of paper, a very small hole punch, and GREAT DEAL of patience
00:46 matey; the first thing i would do, personally, is switch to some kind of plastic or mylar tape.
00:46 matey; the second thing i would do is switch to magnetic tape, and the third thing i would do is add a fucking usb port.

00:48 activelow; the paper tape has one huge benefit: longevity... if anyone could decipher it and construct the required hardware... including the altair
00:50 matey; of course a usb device connected to an altair is NOT going to have the throughput of a usb device connected to... a real usb port

00:56 psydruid; wtfbasic = python
00:56 matey; python and basic both have a perfectly good len statement
00:57 matey; the python one is cooler because it works on arrays (lists)
00:57 matey; python 3 = wtfpython
00:58 matey; wtflen() is meant as a sort of analogue to putting a usb port on an altair :)
00:59 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 17.75 k/sec., IPFS upstream 79.63 average k/sec., average swarm size 564.68
00:59 matey; i mean an actual len statement wouldnt work that way, because the language implementation should already have access to the size of variables etc
00:59 matey; otherwise how would it know how to iterate through the characters? its a tautological function definition

01:02 matey; The Homebrew Computer Club was an informal group of electronic enthusiasts and technically minded hobbyists who gathered to trade parts, circuits, and information pertaining to DIY construction of personal computing devices.
01:03 matey; It was started by Gordon French and Fred Moore who met at the Community Computer Center in Menlo Park.
01:03 matey; The first meeting of the club was held on March 5, 1975, in French's garage
01:03 matey; apple: started in a garage
01:03 matey; hp: started in a garage

01:03 psydruid; didn't people have spines so as not to go along with the scam?
01:04 matey; spines have a limited carrying capacity
01:04 matey; the scam was a juggernaut
01:05 matey; things like microsoft really follow the boiling frog metaphor
01:05 psydruid; I'm thinking the lack of hardware freedom played a part as well
01:05 matey; even if the story itself (the boiling frog) is bullshit
01:05 matey; i mean in the 70s, hardware freedom was a thing
01:05 matey; its how apple started
01:05 matey; in the 70s, copyright couldnt be applied to software either (in the usa)
01:06 matey; not until the early 80s
01:06 activelow; berne convention and authors rights applied before
01:06 activelow; still does
01:06 matey; software was uncopyrightable
01:07 activelow; what does that mean? authors have rights; with or without whatever you mean with copyright.
01:07 matey; Many of the original members of the Homebrew Computer Club continue to meet (as of 2009[update]), having formed the 6800 Club, named after the Motorola (now Freescale) 6800 microprocessor
01:07 matey; Occasionally and variously renamed after the release of the 6800, 6809, and other microprocessors, the group continues to meet monthly in Cupertino, California.[citation needed]
01:08 matey; Most of the members were hobbyists but had an electronic engineering or computer programming background.[10] They came to the meetings to talk about the Altair 8800, to review other technical topics, and to exchange schematics and programming tips.

01:11 matey; Felsenstein was one of the original members of the Homebrew Computer Club, which formed in 1975 in response to the appearance of the Altair 8800 computer kit. With a handy yardstick, Felsenstein "moderated" meetings at the SLAC Auditorium. He was less a chair than a keeper of chaos.

02:46 XRevan86; matey: Before going to sleep, I'll just throw this at you:
02:46 XRevan86; > for i, _ in enumerate(p): continue
02:46 XRevan86; > return i + 1
02:46 XRevan86; -1 line.
02:48 MinceR; len(p)
02:48 XRevan86; MinceR: Amazing simplicity and efficiency :)
02:49 matey; <MinceR> len(p) <- it cant be done!
02:49 activelow; reminds me of an issue with abduco session manager... which does not track clientIDs for individual disconnect
02:49 matey; XRevan86 ive used enumerate about twice
02:49 matey; its a good design, it has my respect
02:49 XRevan86; There's also functools.reduce which can simplify further, but it's an import.
02:49 activelow; because, i want an option for a single-client connect, similar to tmux
02:50 matey; but whenever i would use it, im thinking about something else instead
02:50 matey; so it never gets used-- it is still a good design
02:50 matey; but its basically len() which i guess is the point
02:50 matey; my (openly silly) example shows how len works, sort of, in a way that is both misleading but easy to explain
02:51 matey; while enumerate is probably more efficient but also misleading (and also redundant, as is mine, comically so) and completely opaque
02:51 matey; all of its useless, all of its fun
02:51 XRevan86; matey: Except that len rarely works that way in Python, but ye have pointed this out yourself.
02:51 matey; here are the (comical) pros and cons
02:52 matey; yes i pointed out that it would be redundant for len to work that way :) tautological even
02:52 matey; like saying "god is all powerful and created everything else"
02:52 matey; ive never seen machine code for len, and i can still say with some confidence it works nothing like these examples
02:53 matey; because the language should know what the length of a variable is, and thats what len should return
02:53 matey; these programs either measure it, which is silly
02:53 matey; or they return the same value by similar means
02:53 matey; none are implementations, theyre either synonyms or misdirections :)
02:53 matey; still, its FUN to show that you can "sort of" implement in len in other ways
02:54 matey; as long as you dont tell people "see? this is how it works"
02:54 XRevan86; matey: Heard of __len__?
02:54 matey; whats it do :) i rarely dabble with the underscored stuff
02:55 matey; /me uses python as a step up from shell scripts, while some people use it as a step down from some international space station development environment
02:55 matey; python is a LOT more powerful than anything i use it for.
02:55 matey; by more than one order of magnitude i figure

03:00 XRevan86; And that's how len() *actually* works.
03:01 matey; "nel blu dipinto di blu"
03:01 matey; And that's how len() *actually* works. <- no, its just the interface that len calls
03:01 matey; unless you can print it and get the code somehow
03:01 matey; which maybe you can, but
03:02 matey; it certainly doesnt SAY SO there in the paragraph
03:02 XRevan86; matey: But odds are the method will just get a stored value and give it out.
03:02 matey; i guessed that much
03:02 matey; i mean theres source code available for cpython
03:02 matey; so that is how it actually works
03:03 matey; "But odds are the method will just get a stored value and give it out." <- and i agree, and that was my guess too
03:03 matey; thats how pascal does it
03:03 matey; afaik c uses a nul character
03:03 matey; which i think is hateful, but its certainly efficient
03:04 XRevan86; "afaik" <- It definitely does.
03:04 XRevan86; Not particularly efficient.

03:16 XRevan86; matey: Huh, never heard of that quirk.
03:17 matey; well it stands to reason
03:17 matey; to include stdio, stdio must exist
03:17 matey; and and stdio was a feature of version 7 at the earliest
03:17 matey; and rob pike was using version 6 unix
03:18 matey; in version 6 they had started standardising io but
03:18 matey; it was version 7 where they really had the most reason to do so
03:18 matey; why include it if the os doesnt have it?
03:18 matey; i mean it wasnt part of the design yet
03:19 matey; and pipes > originally > looked like this >
03:19 matey; but then they must have decided that was crazy | and switched | to this
03:20 matey; but for pipes to work, io had to be standard

03:20 matey; and for unix to be unix, it has to have pipes
03:20 matey; so imo unix wasnt even REALLY unix until version 7
03:20 matey; but the history is interesting all the same

15:35 matey; Summary: Volunteers of Debian face an unwelcoming gesture not because of critics online but because it seems clear that Debian leadership misuses very limited Debian funds to SLAPP disgruntled volunteers; the project is not in good hands and this needs to be corrected before it gets yet worse
15:36 matey; "the project is not in good hands and this needs to be corrected before it gets yet worse" so um, some time between 2014 and now, then?
15:36 matey; 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019,
15:36 matey; 2020, 2021, 2022...
15:37 matey; "and this needs to be corrected" what, no "debian will be gone" as the solution? (github, ibm, microsoft, mozilla)
15:37 matey; but waiting for hell to close is always the solution
15:37 matey; "sorry people, hell is full"
15:37 matey; "youll just have to go somewhere else"
15:38 matey; im open to solutions if anybody has one
15:38 matey; my guess is the solution is waiting another 7 or 8 years for debian to stop being a bunch of cunts
15:38 matey; good luck with that
15:39 matey; maybe it will become the universally loathed distro
15:39 matey; its practically ubuntu now anyway
15:40 matey; "fedora lite"
15:40 matey; distros were better when there were still distros
15:41 matey; and not just package repos for systemd
15:41 matey; my question is: if debians real job is to peddle a pile of shit
15:42 matey; who do you EXPECT to do that, EXCEPT a bunch of cunts?
15:42 matey; who else would even take the job?
15:42 bnchs; i migrated to artix
15:42 bnchs; specifically openrc
15:43 matey; that was fast
15:43 matey; not sarcasm-- didnt you announce your intent like 48 hours ago?
15:43 bnchs; [12:57:09] <bnchs> i'm migrating to artix linux
15:44 bnchs; the guide wasn't straightforward
15:44 bnchs; i had to change a few commands
15:45 bnchs; hey at least it actually shutdowns faster
15:45 bnchs; rather than ending with 3000 kauditd callbacks
15:45 matey; /me doesnt even know what kauditd is
15:45 matey; oh
15:45 matey; k audit d
15:46 matey; stupid "init"
15:46 bnchs; and complaining about systemd-homed not existing
15:46 matey; please wait while systemd performs kernel updates
15:46 matey; do not shut off your computer.
15:48 matey; immediate knee jerk when systemd inevitably implements windows-style mandatory updates and people complain:
15:48 matey; there are plenty of distros you can use without systemd
15:48 bnchs; i'm not done with the transition yet
15:49 matey; you can compile it without the mandatory updates option
15:49 MinceR; they had better hurry up if they want to use that knee jerk
15:49 matey; do you think running out of date kernels is a good idea?

16:10 XRevan86; They never follow through.
16:10 MinceR; don't worry, volcano or no volcano, humans will take care of exterminating themselves
16:12 matey; /me isnt surprised mincer is so cynical after what happened to the revolution in hungary
16:12 matey; and the state of things there today
16:13 MinceR; all our revolutions were pointless
16:13 matey; though people do have a habit of projecting the state of their country onto the rest of the world
16:13 matey; well, i dont know of anyone that fought more tenaciously than the hungarians
16:13 MinceR; why fight for freedom and independence if the majority just goes and decides they _want_ to live in a dictatorship ruled by terrorussia in 2010?
16:13 matey; so i can understand the cynicism now
16:13 XRevan86; Over the years my disagreement with MinceR on this went from categorical disagreement to a shrug.
16:14 matey; cynicism is a useful point of view for some things
16:14 matey; underrated in my opinion
16:14 XRevan86; My view on the world has gotten very bleak.
16:14 matey; and like anything else, it has its limist
16:14 matey; a bit like my typing
16:14 XRevan86; And yes, it is projecting the state of my country.
16:14 matey; why fight for freedom and independence if the majority just goes and decides they _want_ to live in a dictatorship <- because people do get tired of it
16:14 matey; but when they miss windows of opportunity it costs them decades
16:15 matey; and half a revolution is ultimately like none at all
16:15 matey; reform will never work
16:15 matey; revolution (debatably) hasnt yet
16:15 matey; if you dont believe in either of those, humanity has nothing to hope for
16:15 XRevan86; matey: Half-revolutions can still be progress.
16:16 XRevan86; matey: Like what's happening in Kazakhstan.
16:16 matey; a half revolution will be destroyed by counterrevolution
16:16 matey; its worth fighting of course
16:16 XRevan86; The cult of Nazarbayev's personality is dying out.
16:16 matey; because if it turns into a full revolution, then half is a good start
16:16 matey; its just that half a revolution isnt enough to sustain itself
16:17 matey; well im more optimistic than mincer. thats not hard.
16:17 XRevan86; Even though the revolution was squashed, the effort still changed the political balance of power.
16:17 matey; hes literally the most cynical person i know
16:17 matey; and to make matters worse, hes right about many things
16:18 matey; Even though the revolution was squashed <- the one thing about half a revolution that really serves the future long term is
16:18 matey; it provides lessons (both happy and unhappy) for future efforts
16:18 matey; half a revolution is a mix of victory and failure
16:18 matey; we can learn from both
16:19 matey; the cynic cant learn from victory
16:19 matey; they see it as only failure
16:19 matey; failure is a hard lesson-- death, torture, slavery
16:20 matey; all the worst aspects of mankind
16:20 matey; all the best things to fight
16:22 matey; i have no idea how the people driving these things have their ears still attached to their heads
16:22 matey; ive lost most of my hearing for at least 20 minutes (decades ago)
16:22 XRevan86; matey: I don't really see the world in the revolution/counterrevolution light. What I see is political powers' mobility, accountability, rotation.
16:23 matey; everything that has happened to free software for the past 20 years is revolution/counterrevolution, mostly the latter
16:23 matey; my associate calls it the free software thermidor
16:23 XRevan86; Basically, the way I see it, counter-revolution is just bound to happen if the people in power work the political system in such a way that they will just have it unconditionally.
16:23 XRevan86; Erosion of the political process, corruption, et al.
16:24 matey; counter-revolution is just bound to happen <- this much i agree with
16:24 matey; Erosion of the political process, corruption, et al. <- yes
16:25 matey; even russia had two revolutions (the second being the october) before it took
16:25 matey; lenins health failed, stalin got in, we know how that worked out
16:26 matey; the funny thing was, stalin never had the ambition to do the horrible things he did
16:26 matey; he only sought to be in charge
16:26 matey; once he gained power, he held onto that so tightly that he was willing to murder anyone who opposed it
16:26 matey; he was batshit insane
16:26 matey; finally they killed him for it
16:27 XRevan86; matey: The ugly thing is that the Us-Them traitor mentality was there even before Stalin got in charge.
16:27 matey; sure
16:27 matey; but false/forced unity doesnt solve that
16:27 XRevan86; So the poison was there.
16:27 matey; let me make sure i dont misunderstand your point about this
16:28 matey; you dont think the concept of a traitor is entirely useless or counterproductive?
16:28 matey; we would agree either way im sure, that the notion can be abused, taken advantage of opportunistically (and often is)
16:28 matey; but thats not my question
16:29 XRevan86; matey: I think that the Soviet Russia was built on undermining people who disagreed, and then on the Civil War, and that created a very unhealthy dynamic.
16:29 matey; labelling opponents as traitors is completely unoriginal
16:29 XRevan86; And then Stalin rode that wave and made it an absolute.
16:29 matey; I think that the Soviet Russia was built on undermining people who disagreed <- this i would agree, created a situation ripe for stalin, yes
16:30 matey; lenin said "you want obedience? youll have obedient fools!"
16:30 XRevan86; But I'd still fault Stalin for Stalin in the same fashion as I fault Putin for Putin.
16:30 matey; of course
16:30 matey; you have to work pretty hard to be the worst.
16:31 XRevan86; Putin's Russia is an extension of Yeltsin's Russia, and all the vices of the latter allowed the former to come to this world.
16:32 matey; you think putin is an alcoholic?
16:32 XRevan86; matey: I meant vices like legalised thuggery.
16:32 matey; that makes more sense
16:32 XRevan86; Oligarchy, et al.
16:32 matey; of course
16:34 XRevan86; And Putin is a product of the Russia's 90s much more than he's a product of KGB even.
16:35 matey; supervillains often have interesting (if cliched) origin stories

16:38 *activelow sighs
16:38 activelow; found one wrongdoer, who changed permissions of (bsd) tty device nodes...
16:39 MinceR; https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/stages https://www.smbc-comics.com/comics/165133416420220430after.png
16:39 TR Bot; Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal - Stages
16:40 activelow; rather concerning, given ... see what dtach/dvtm could do, if some tty dev node permissions allow
16:41 activelow; kernel unix98 style tty device nodes, udev etc... complicate this further
16:42 activelow; bsd-style pty device node management, at least, handover control back to the administrator
16:42 *AdmFubar (~mradmin@ngqaam7baxnug.irc) has joined #techrights
16:43 activelow; yet, if any daemon with root privileges mis-behaves, tty device nodes with mode 666 are dangling
16:44 activelow; if then, any ordinar user grabs such a tty node the terminal session exposes read-write permissions to everyone on the system
16:46 activelow; digging into dvtm terminal multiplexer sources raised even more concerns
16:47 activelow; at, least, what i got now, with a terminal session managed by dvtm, is notifications when a session was handed over to another client/ssh-connect/login, and session-detach timeout
16:49 activelow; and tty device node ownership and permissions are statically set chown/chmod once during system-boot, by the admininistrator, which is me
16:49 activelow; not kernel, not udev, not systemd...
16:50 activelow; and i wouldn't trust openpty()/forkpty()/grantpt() etc.., regardless who implemented it, linux kernel or *bsd
16:52 activelow; openbsd implemented wscons, the other *bsd do openpty() nowadays, seems only linux kernel offers the traditional bsd pty
16:53 activelow; another minor benefit of statically managed bsd pty device nodes; by chown/chmod to a dedicated user/group, the administrator can decide who and how many pseudo terminals are available to anyone, such as ssh sessions
16:54 activelow; so, i rather live with the limitations of pre-Unix98 pty than any openpty() implementation
16:55 activelow; which reminds me of the dispute Alan Cox resigned over... which was a race-condition issue withing kernel pty handling...
16:55 activelow; besides, i do not trust any of the dynamic device node management such as udev/mdev etc... i removed this entirely
16:56 activelow; again, i rather live with the disadvantages of this, such as de-reattaching a usb sound or video device requires a sudo root chown of such nodes
16:57 activelow; maybe, i will re-integrate some suckless.org device node manager, certainly not any udev implementation of it

19:25 DaemonFC; <XRevan86> Basically, the way I see it, counter-revolution is just bound to happen if the people in power work the political system in such a way that they will just have it unconditionally.
19:25 XRevan86; A bit clunky wording, I know.
19:25 DaemonFC; Well, Putin could be setting Russia up for another revolution. One of the things that was stopping it was that he could turn the military on them if they tried.
19:26 DaemonFC; But he's rapidly throwing away pretty much all their military equipment in Ukraine.
19:26 XRevan86; So far Putin's been able to squash every protest movement without using any military.
19:27 DaemonFC; It's interesting that the police are fine with being paid in Rubles.
19:27 DaemonFC; Maybe that will change.
19:28 XRevan86; So far it's been the police, the National Guard and the groupings like the "Cossacks"
19:28 DaemonFC; The list of equipment lost in Ukraine is growing by the day.
19:28 DaemonFC; It's already quite large.
19:29 DaemonFC; I admit I was sitting here laughing pretty hard about the Moskva sinking.
19:29 DaemonFC; Then the US government like "Yeah, we told Ukraine how to target it, but hey it was their decision to blow it up, so....".
19:30 XRevan86; DaemonFC: There's something iffy going on here, they stated that they didn't do that.
19:30 DaemonFC; This is by far the most effective campaign of harassment the United States has ever waged against Russia.
19:30 DaemonFC; The Republicans were bragging about Afghanistan and the Stingers.
19:32 DaemonFC; The US military, Congress, and the CIA see the investment as worth every penny.

19:33 DaemonFC; And we got to find out that the Russian military's most advanced tanks really aren't that effective against our Javelin system.
19:34 DaemonFC; And at this rate, in just 90 days, there will be more than twice as many dead Russian soldiers in Ukraine than died in the entire campaign in Afghanistan.
19:34 *bnchs has quit (connection closed)
19:34 DaemonFC; They're retreating from Kharkiv and blowing up bridges, afraid that the Ukrainian military will follow them as they retreat.
19:34 XRevan86; DaemonFC: Per Ukraine's claims it's already way above that.
19:35 DaemonFC; Putin has turned to screaming at his generals (the ones that haven't been picked off yet) and threatening purges.
19:36 *bnchs (~bnchs@igb573hu9ciw2.irc) has joined #techrights
19:36 XRevan86; But even if they're overblowing it, the genuine number will still have to be at least close to 15k.
19:36 DaemonFC; MinceR, I think Putin would have purged the generals except they had like 50 of them when they went into this and now he'd have to pick one of the five to blame.
19:36 DaemonFC; B-)
19:37 XRevan86; DaemonFC: He can't openly purge anyone.
19:37 XRevan86; Because that would be admitting that something went seriously wrong.
19:37 XRevan86; But as we know, everything is going according to plan.
19:37 DaemonFC; Well, he'll have to retire one of them due to sudden issues with their health.
19:37 DaemonFC; It's funny how Ricin can do that.
19:38 XRevan86; That can only be done once or twice though.
19:38 DaemonFC; Maybe one day for no particular reason, they'll start walking out of windows.
19:39 XRevan86; As far as I can tell, Putin is doing what he does best: he relieves people of duty in the back-stage informal government, while keeping their formal posts.
19:39 XRevan86; Putin is not a man of formalities.
19:40 DaemonFC; So he'll keep them around as a figurehead and then just relay decisions someone else makes?
19:40 XRevan86; DaemonFC: Yes.

Then there are the PMC's and the armies of the quasi-republics L/DPR. All in all not every loss is counted the same by Russia.
19:50 XRevan86; The Ministry of *fence of Russia made a response in kind (kind of) and said that Ukraine lost 23k people from the army, National Guard, "foreign mercenaries" and other militarised groups (probably Terorobona).

21:01 XRevan86; psydroid2: Check the link, it says that eudev enables it by default as well.
21:01 activelow; non-systemd systems almost always use a udev implementation too
21:02 activelow; a linux system doesn't need any udev; it is a few lines of chmod/chown during system boot and all permissions match, including x11/libdrm/audio etc
21:02 *DaemonFC (~daemonfc@3ybzzjfmjbj3g.irc) has joined #techrights
21:02 XRevan86; Yes. Unless bnchs somehow dodges udev altogether, it's more likely that he just got the warning from portage and axed it off immediately, and then forgot.
21:03 activelow; problem is, if devices are re-attached dynamically... to act upon such events to re/set permissions, which i remain sceptical with udev
21:04 XRevan86; "a linux system doesn't need any udev" <- That's a bold statement.
21:04 activelow; evdev sucks too, Xorg switched input device drivers to evdev ones... i rolled-back this change here...
21:05 activelow; i don't trust evedv; udev/evdev, this is systemd even when openrc is the init process
21:06 activelow; meaning, replacing systemd init with openrc does _NOT_ remove all the systemd clutter, in fact some of the worst parts remain even with openrc/eudev
21:07 activelow; XRevan86: sure, with udev/evdev removed, this has some disadvantages
21:08 XRevan86; Just some.
21:08 activelow; nonetheless, the typical argument X11/GTK required any of this is wrong, i got X11/GTK here, with all the clutter removed

21:59 DaemonFC; Their pricing is really hit or miss.
22:00 DaemonFC; Like you can get 7 DVDs for a dollar now. A dollar! One dollar! Gets you 7 DVDs.
22:00 DaemonFC; I remember when these came out and they were selling players for $500 and movies for $35, per disc, in the 1990s!
22:01 DaemonFC; They could get away with that easily back then because nobody had the established infrastructure to just dump the discs and share them on BitTorrent.

23:20 DaemonFC; Hyperinflation was rampant between 1992-1994.
23:20 DaemonFC; Probably about as much as a Yugo.
23:20 DaemonFC; Which is where we'll be if Biden is in there much longer.
23:21 DaemonFC; Countries tend to experience Hyperinflation right before one of three things happens.
23:21 DaemonFC; A political revolution, a violent overthrow, or the country breaking up into several successor states.
23:22 matey; so 100,000 would be about 5 times the gdp of yugoslavia around that time
23:22 matey; a little less
23:23 matey; and how far do you think the usa is from hyperinflation?
23:23 DaemonFC; The BLS says it's 9.68% on an annual basis right now.

23:27 matey; but the beer is belgian style or something
23:27 matey; and if you eat the curry and drink the beer, the beer tastes like donuts
23:28 matey; i dont even know why, i refuse to question it
23:29 matey; the last time i went to a krispy kreme it was in washington dc though
23:29 matey; this is nearly as good
23:30 matey; /me doesnt know why they call it that, roughly zero of their donuts are crispy
23:31 matey; crispy donuts probably wouldnt be huge sellers, but i dont pretend to know what the market really wants
23:31 matey; they all have smartphones, ergo they are crazy
23:32 matey; if its a crispy donut you want, i recommend a stroopwaffel
23:33 matey; which i always assume was the forces hitler sent in to take over bakeries, but whatever

23:37 matey; /me wonders if theyll still make new hitler reacts videos 10 years from now
23:37 DaemonFC; Well, yeah, WEST Germany will have a ton of them due to the Capitalist demand economy while the East Germans will be blowing up their coffee machines wiht 49% coffee packets.
23:37 matey; thank churchhill, it was all his idea
23:38 matey; the way they split things up after the war
23:38 matey; he was a dick
23:39 matey; of course, to be fair
23:39 DaemonFC; Then at the end of the day, when the stroopwafel demand was not as high as it averaged, they'll mark down the day old stroopwafels by half to bring the market demand to stroopwafel equilibrium, and the East Germans will get shot in the back by their own soldiers trying to get at them
23:39 matey; they didnt actually HAVE TO create the fucking stasi
23:39 matey; but it must have seemed like a good idea at the time
23:39 DaemonFC; And that's where Ronald Reagan shouts "Mr. Gorbachev, TEAR DOWN THIS WALL!".
23:39 matey; Then at the end of the day, when the stroopwafel demand was not as high as it averaged, they'll mark down the day old stroopwafels by half to bring the market demand <- like they dont do that now
23:40 DaemonFC; "REAGAN SMASH! REAGAN SMAAAAAAASH!"
23:40 matey; seriously, i can walk about two blocks and get you a stroopwaffel thats nearly old enough to vote
23:41 DaemonFC; Capitalism produces more than it anticipates the market needing, because as long as it can reduce costs to clear out a little excess inventory, they're doing better than if they aim low and don't have enough to sell.
23:41 DaemonFC; Communism falls apart because central planning figures that they can dictate what demand will be and what wages are, and then you have black markets.
23:41 matey; someone needs to tell them theyre not twinkies, shelf life isnt the same thing as half life
23:42 matey; im pretty sure the communists anticipated black markets
23:42 DaemonFC; They didn't mind them, at least.
23:42 matey; well the bureaucracy certainly didnt
23:42 DaemonFC; Officially, they didn't tolerate them, but they persisted in part because the politicians themselves ended up shopping there in the end.
23:42 matey; after all, it was the same thing they were doing
23:43 matey; Officially, they didn't tolerate them <- a bit like americas reaction to hitler
23:43 DaemonFC; And if there's a universal truth about politicians, they always manage to end up rich, even in Communist countries, somehow.
23:43 DaemonFC; :)
23:43 DaemonFC; And it's always at the direct expense of the public, but in a "worker's state" you'd expect something more modest.
23:44 DaemonFC; And yet that's not what happens.
23:44 activelow; dvtm is awesome, combined with nnn for example, this fully replaces midnight commander, is modular etc...
23:44 matey; even in Communist countries, somehow. <- as long as rich is a relative thing, politicians taking advantage of their position isnt harder in a communist country as long as the leader is insane
23:44 activelow; dvtm can be bundles into any desired application, such as irc session handling for ii etc.
23:44 activelow; bundled
23:44 matey; And it's always at the direct expense of the public <- corruption generally is
23:44 DaemonFC; Leaders are usually insane.
23:45 matey; its not a requirement, but it certainly happens a lot
23:45 DaemonFC; Because the most insant people are the ones who respond to insane politicians.
23:45 activelow; if i didn't ditch glib, tmux, irssi and various other then i had not bothered with dvtm and not discovered the power of this
23:45 DaemonFC; Until things spiral so far out of control that more moderate people can't take it anymore, and they vote based on who sounds more reasonable.
23:45 DaemonFC; So it tends to go crazy, more normal, crazy, more normal, and so on.
23:45 matey; which is too easy to fake in a crisis
23:46 matey; just dont give a damn, and say whatever people obviously want to hear
23:46 matey; any sociopath can do it
23:46 matey; vote for marisol
23:47 matey; "an airpod on every table"
23:47 DaemonFC; I'm considering wearing a VOTE SAXON button to the polls this year.
23:47 DaemonFC; And seeing if anyone there even realizes what that is or thinks I'm politicking.
