00:04 activelow; dvtm is a revelation
00:05 activelow; i must keep x11/xterm/suckless-term for some more days, to verify termcaps against...
00:05 activelow; however, i'll not work withing x11 anymore, for the things i do, with shell, and C, and the goodies collected including sixels
00:07 activelow; the huge benefit of dvtm in comparison to tmux or gnu screen... is the trivial fact the source text is minimal
00:07 activelow; dvtm is cleanly separates window-management from session-management (with abduco, minor issue remaining because the single-client hack and session timeout hack are ugly)
00:08 activelow; typos

01:28 DaemonFC; I decided to just have them replace the rusty fenders and grind and weld and fill everything else. There won't be any rust when they're done. But for the small touch ups that won't buff out, I'll get one of those $20 paint pens from the dealer.
01:28 DaemonFC; It won't look exactly right but from what'll be left you'd have to get right up to it and know where to look.
01:28 DaemonFC; It won't be a "ten foot problem".
01:29 DaemonFC; Someone used duplicolor or something on the fenders on parts where it was some stone chips, large ones, and they weren't particularly careful to VIN match the paint first. If you're going to do touch ups, it should at least look as close as possible.
01:30 *chicksahoy has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
01:30 DaemonFC; Those GM fenders always like to start rusting in the wheel wells and especially at the bottom. Part of my driver side fender on the Impala rusted and fell off one day when I slammed the door.
01:30 DaemonFC; The car runs totally fine though. You'd never know it had 300,000 miles on it.
01:31 DaemonFC; They gave me such a sizable insurance discount for multi-car that it hardly costs anything to leave the Impala around.
01:32 DaemonFC; At this point, I think most of the weak spots have been replaced. Faint whiff of musty old car and the occasional hint of coolant when the heater is on, but not bad though.
01:33 DaemonFC; I've been watching the level since I topped off 18 months ago and haven't needed to do anything. But that's some pretty strong-smelling stuff. You'll smell it if the heater core starts leaking even a drop now and then.

01:34 matey; you need to have a pep talk with them
01:34 DaemonFC; Turned out that they just didn't know that the overflow tank cold fill line is really hard to read on that one because it's at the bottom of the tank.
01:34 DaemonFC; It's a huge fucking tank and the cold line is only a couple inches up.
01:35 matey; they should bring you their car to look at
01:35 DaemonFC; But since it _can_ hold so much I just told the Chevy dealer when they were flushing the Buick to fill the tank about 8 inches above cold.
01:35 DaemonFC; It's not going to come pouring out or anything.
01:36 DaemonFC; That tank can hold almost a gallon above the fill line and that's just an extra half a gallon or so.
01:36 DaemonFC; That's the craziest coolant tank I've ever seen.

03:32 chicksahoy; centos stream 9 is awesome, its like having RHEL 9
03:32 MinceR; lol
03:32 MinceR; that's like saying having gonorrhea is awesome
03:33 DaemonFC; It really isn't.
03:37 chicksahoy; :P
03:38 chicksahoy; its better than ubuntu server
03:39 MinceR; having gonorrhea is better than having cancer?
03:39 chicksahoy; ok so what server distro do you use?
03:39 MinceR; i'm being unfair, those two alleged OS-es are a lot more similar to each other
03:39 MinceR; devuan
03:41 chicksahoy; I actually want systemd tho
03:41 chicksahoy; I suppose debian could be an option
03:44 MinceR; well yeah, if you want systemd, then something from ibm/deadrat is the obvious option
03:44 MinceR; that way it will be as broken as possible
03:45 DaemonFC; <MinceR> having gonorrhea is better than having cancer?
03:45 DaemonFC; Well, yeah. You can't go on antibiotics and get rid of cancer so it's possible to survive gonorrhea even in the American medical system.
03:46 MinceR; :>
03:46 MinceR; come to think of it, i have no idea whether centos stream 9 or ubuntu "server" is better
03:46 MinceR; and i don't really care either
03:51 chicksahoy; i use fedora so centos makes it a bit easier on me
03:54 chicksahoy; i do have a raspi zero w that runs debian

15:30 activelow; with the departure into suckless realm, with modular components, little C, shell, and unix, i fiddled together a "midnight commander" style utility
15:31 activelow; dvtm is rather flexible with layouts... dual pane nnn with some minor patch... and with some aspects it's more powerful than mc (glib)
15:32 activelow; dvtm itself requires some changes... and was hitting some terminal-type compatibility issue
15:33 activelow; nasty one... X11/term supports 256cols, TERM=linux is 16colors i think... and this screwed things when de/re-attaching sessions with different terminal-color capability available
15:34 activelow; dynamically linked dvtm is 48KiB, abduco 80KiB... tmux is 1600KiB... and in essence i got the same functionality now, it is far more flexible even
15:35 activelow; because everhting integrates with each other, adhering to unix principle and methods
15:38 activelow; it's not easy to compare, because the utilities i am using are modular and try not to couple or duplicate functionality which shouldn't be
15:38 activelow; nonetheless, it is <10% code size and _more_ powerful, easier to hack, easier to debug
15:39 activelow; and midnight commander certainly was one of the pieces of software i did enjoy, until i realized it's tied to gnome and related design principles
15:40 activelow; tmux was another one, yet dvtm is simply more flexible; i do appreciate the integration of vi editor with it, after a day of using this
15:41 activelow; nice side effect, working with keyboard only is very effecient now
15:43 activelow; anyway, if *nix terminal compatibility implies 16colors then i will happily live with it... and scientific authoring and publishing doesn't require more than this to plot some graphs for maths and physics
15:43 activelow; 256colors or truecolor are still available, yet the disadvantage with this is limited compatibility
15:44 activelow; i was thinking for a while already, if the entire coreutils and related can be fully replaced with busybox (can be), yet i still need to retain the gentoo tooling for dependency tracking
15:45 activelow; and this isn't possible without complicated dependency graph related to itself
15:45 activelow; subject to change... and i am looking foward to how much ram and disk space a *nix distro maintained 100% from source really needs
15:46 activelow; monitoring this, i rarely cross 512MiB RAM usage, with bigger log files opened for irc, mplayer, and a few w3m tabs opened
15:47 activelow; and however you name it, the typical gnu/linux/bsd/ibm realm... progress, innovation, whatever... none of this would be an excuse to maintain a real *nix style scientific environment

15:50 MinceR; https://pleated-jeans.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/funny-picturers-5-4-22-4.jpg
15:50 activelow; it is interesting too, suckless.org community seems to be located in germany, and dvtm is Switzerland ETH Zurich... that's not the reason i try to follow along their ideas
15:52 activelow; in fact, i am seeking to be more strict with acceptance criteria... i'll never again use any webkit/chrom/moz, gtk/qt, harfbuzz/fontconfig, systemd/udev/dbus... none of this
15:55 activelow; furthermore, remote-shell operation should be easy and comfortable; ssh and a capable terminal, two hundred KiB in size staticaly compiled, that's it what baphometos relies upon for interoperability and secure remote-shell

18:35 activelow; if anyone preferred to use modern "GUI" then often the explanation is missing experience with the alternative
18:36 activelow; *nix never was merely "system-level" limited, C language wasn't, C language is a high level language
18:36 activelow; and from the beginning the systems emerged from within the _scientific_ realm, not the commercial one which is dominating nowadays

18:45 matey; Our special guest today is Melissa Logan, Founder of Constantia.io, a marketing consultancy that focuses on open source and enterprise tech companies. She pioneered the role of open source marketer that helped fuel the rise of open source software development. She also launched the Sexism Field Guide to help people identify and confront all forms of sexism.
18:45 matey; Also, Melissa talks about having the right personality to do marketing in a community and why she thinks about the community like a prism.
18:45 matey; i guess stallman didnt have the "right personality to do marketing"
18:45 matey; for open source.
18:46 matey; for about 20 years open source had digs at free software for being "poltiical"
18:46 matey; and pretended to not be about "politics"
18:46 matey; how full of shit were they?
18:46 matey; open source is pure corporate politics
18:46 matey; pure hypocrisy
18:47 matey; watch stallman bow to them more and more as the fsf betrays everyone that ever supported it
18:47 matey; the fsf is nothing but a noose around stallman and free software itself
18:47 matey; pure hypcrisy-- because its the open source foundation now
18:47 matey; protecting traitors-- destroying stallman.
18:47 matey; sheer hypocrisy

19:05 SomeH4x0r; hi
19:05 matey; https://augustl.com/blog/2019/linus_and_linux_happy_accident/
19:05 TR Bot; Linux exists only because of a happy accident (August Lilleaas' blog)
19:05 bnchs; tux i gotta tell you something
19:05 bnchs; you were a mistake
19:05 bnchs; an accident
19:05 matey; He wrote a disk driver, so he could save his work while he was outside Minix land. Eventually, his terminal emulator was able to launch BASH. (Yes, BASH is that old.) Linus called it his "gnu-emacs of terminal emulation programs"
19:06 matey; It's fall, 1991.
19:06 matey; Linus now considers shelving his terminal emulator. He's reasonably happy with it, and it does what he needs it to do.
19:06 matey; In other words: Linus became bored with a project he was working on. Boy, do I recognize that feeling.
19:06 matey; I probably would have stopped by the end of 1991. I had done a lot of things I thought were interesting. Everything didnt really work perfectly, but in a software kind of world I find that once you solve the fundamental problems of a project, its easy to lose interest. And thats what was happening to me. Trying to debug software is not very engaging.
19:07 matey; Back then, I was booting into Linux but used Minix as the main development environment. Most of what I was doing under Linux was reading email and news from the universitys computer via the terminal emulator I had written. The university computer was constantly busy, so I had written a program that auto-dialed into it. But in December, I mistakenly auto-dialed my hard disk instead of my modem.
19:07 matey; wrong number
19:07 matey; I was trying to auto-dial /dev/tty1 [...]. But by mistake I auto-dialed /dev/hda1, which is the hard disk device. The end result was that I inadvertently overwrote some of the most critical parts of the partition where I had Minix.
19:07 matey; so linux exists because linus literally dialed the wrong device
19:07 matey; That was the point where I had a decision to make: I could reinstall Minix, or I could bite the bullet and acknowledge that Linux was good enough that I didnt need Minix. I would write the programs to compile Linux, under itself, and whenever I felt I needed Minix, I would just add the desired feature to Linux.
19:08 matey; this doesnt really match up with the all the hero-worship stories that paint him as the messiah
19:08 bnchs; tux mah boi
19:08 bnchs; you were an accident
19:08 bnchs; but now you're a much greater accident today
19:09 matey; first linux accidentally wrote over his minix paritition
19:10 matey; then he accidentally wrote over years of operating system history
19:10 bnchs; yeah sure
19:10 matey; then he accidentally invented the computer, and binary computation, and discovered the electron
19:10 bnchs; i accidentally fucked up my minix partition
19:10 bnchs; so i made an entire OS
19:10 bnchs; rather than reinstalling
19:11 bnchs; and that's how you were made
19:11 matey; also the reason he has kids today was he had more coffee than usual that day
19:11 matey; and he had an eye twitch as a result which his future wife mistook for a wink
19:11 matey; and the rest is history
19:11 bnchs; wrong
19:12 bnchs; his wife raped him in his sleep
19:12 bnchs; as a matter of dominance
19:12 matey; i think youre confusing his wife with jim zemlin
19:12 matey; and he wasnt asleep
19:13 bnchs; well probably
19:13 matey; at least no penguins were harmed (or thankfully involved)
19:13 bnchs; but he was mentally harmed though
19:13 bnchs; and psychologically
19:13 psydroid2; tux should have been aborted when it was still a foetus
19:14 bnchs; psydroid2, who would take it's place
19:14 bnchs; another mascot
19:14 matey; tux/linux or tux + linux
19:14 bnchs; to make jokes about
19:14 activelow; tux shouldn't have been injected with corporate steroids and drugs to grow fat
19:14 psydroid2; a devilish creature
19:15 bnchs; activelow, tux's mantits are a representation of average gnu/linux users
19:15 bnchs; and fatassery
19:15 matey; <activelow> tux shouldn't have been injected with corporate steroids and drugs to grow fat <- indeed, not qualified for the olympics but qualified for your computer
19:15 matey; tux should be as disgraced as lance armstrong

While these components individually have been adopted by many distributions and products for specific purposes, we did not publicly communicate a broader vision of how they should all fit together in the long run. In this blog story I hope to provide that from my personal perspective, i.e. explain how I personally would build an OS and where I
20:31 MinceR; systemd-kerneld is not officially part of systemd YET

20:31 schestowitz-TR; Linux is trademark of Linus Torvalds
20:32 schestowitz-TR; not IBM

20:32 DaemonFC; MinceR, At the rate they're going, systemd-kerneld will be a replacement for everything Linux does yet needs Linux to run anyway.
20:32 schestowitz-TR; with help from trolls

21:24 *forkbombe has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
21:24 DaemonFC; So that more than doubled, and it didn't take 20 years to do it.
21:25 DaemonFC; In 2003, I was paying electric bills of about $40 a month, with the air conditioner on in the summer. In 2021, with the air conditioner on, it was about $100.
21:26 DaemonFC; So that basically doubled too. (slightly larger area to cool...but my light bulbs, TV, and computer use much less power)
21:26 schestowitz-TR; but salaries more than doubled ^_^
21:26 schestowitz-TR; or not
21:27 DaemonFC; In 2003, I would pay about $1.29 or so for a gallon of gas. Today it's $4.59, so that's more than tripled in 19 years.
21:27 DaemonFC; But inflation is only 2% you know.
21:27 schestowitz-TR; inflation = the price of bailing our the rich (and their companies) :-)

21:48 DaemonFC; Which is toxic at parts per billion.
21:49 DaemonFC; The TDS meter only measures in three digits, with 001 meaning 1 part per million.

21:56 DaemonFC; No incentive to want more hours. Some people ask their boss to cut their hours.

22:38 DaemonFC; None of the local stores carry these portable washers.
22:39 DaemonFC; So I'm pretty sure most landlords don't run into them that often.
22:39 DaemonFC; I've never seen anything in a lease that says you aren't allowed to have one, and if something isn't prohibited, it's allowed, in my opinion. Asking if you can do it at that point is just a liability because it gives them the opportunity to consider it, say no, and prohibit it expressly in the next lease.
22:40 DaemonFC; I'm kind of a "the letter of the law" kind of a person where I might try to bend the rules a little unless it's pretty clear that what I'm doing isn't okay and there's no way to explain my way out of it later if I get caught.
22:41 DaemonFC; It's interesting, because what "income" means for benefits, taxation, and loan applications varies considerably.
22:42 DaemonFC; If you're trying to qualify for something that requires a lot of income, read it and if it doesn't specify gross or net income, use gross. If it lets you consider your spouse's income, or even a live-in boyfriend or girlfriend, do that.
22:44 DaemonFC; If it's a benefit and it wants to know what your income is, read the regulations and see if you can use net income, because that will be less, or see if it specifies that you can use paycheck stubs or the Adjusted Gross Income from last year's taxes. The AGI line on last year's taxes almost certainly is less because you tend to get a raise in the beginning of the year and if you submit paystubs, they may try to use gross income. And it's
22:44 DaemonFC; possible you got more hours this past month than you normally do, but last year it all averages out automatically if you use the AGI.
22:45 DaemonFC; So for the Affordable Connectivity Program, I used our last year's tax return, but for the Green Card interview, I used paystubs and calculated gross income for a 12 month period based on those, because it was a lot more.
22:46 DaemonFC; So in some cases, your "total household income" can vary by $16,000 or so depending on how you calculate it, and it can either qualify or disqualify you for what you are applying for.
22:50 DaemonFC; It's enough to raise an eyebrow when you're applying for an apartment or something and you have to explain why you've averaged out the monthly income because "biweekly" means that sometimes there is a third paycheck. It's scary that people who are employed looking over millions of dollars in properties don't just grasp what that is.

23:05 DaemonFC; They're not even making a point, you know. Those people don't affect government policy. If anything, the government will point at it and say "See, we NEED to bomb their country or there will be more of them over here to do that!".

23:37 DaemonFC; But then Walmart stopped selling them 9 to a pack and the 15% discount between the employee discount and the credit card was better than buying them 9 to a pack from Amazon.
23:38 DaemonFC; LOL
