00:37 bnchs; no it's AI
00:38 activelow; home and end keys are another issue, with mis-matching entries for x11 and console
00:39 activelow; another one of toay, which made my sharpen my knive...
00:39 boldc___; how is that even possible?
00:39 activelow; ncurses it seems, not only gathers terminfo database according to TERM=<name>, withing this database entry the capabilities and mappings are defined...

00:40 *asusbox2 (~rianne@s44cwn8sugddy.irc) has joined #techrights

00:40 boldc___; activelow is using the N word
00:40 boldc___; NULL

00:41 activelow; the exceptional intellect, who envisioned this, i see a nuke dropping into this shithead
00:41 boldc___; activelow do you have the mouse enable on the terminal?
00:42 activelow; boldc___: enabled exactly how?
00:42 activelow; gpm is active still...
00:42 activelow; why?
00:42 boldc___; i mean the real terminal with out x
00:43 activelow; yes, i am using linux console with dvtm window manager
00:43 activelow; and had preferred the functions keys all match as desired...
00:43 boldc___; dvtm window manager is using X or wayland?
00:43 activelow; however, i cannot map those keys, because i do need/want to de/re-attach abduco+dvtm with _different_ terminal types
00:44 boldc___; i mean the tty?
00:44 activelow; boldc___: dvtm is a window manager for console, no X11, no wayland, none of this shit
00:44 activelow; although, i do want/need the ability to de/re-attach an abduco+dvtm session with any common terminal emulator
00:45 activelow; even when i am not using X11 anymore
00:45 boldc___; i didnt knew you could have windows with out X
00:47 activelow; not only this boldc___, dvtm seems the best "window manager" i tried in 20years
00:47 activelow; too it is the smalles, 47KiB in size, dynamically linked plus ncurses library
00:47 boldc___; but its not flowting windows

00:50 boldc___; they all use X or wayland
00:50 activelow; both X11 and wayland are rubbish
00:50 boldc___; i dont see whats the point if you have dvtm
00:51 activelow; i will integrate sixel support with it
00:51 boldc___; i taking about i3 sway
00:51 boldc___; arent they just emulating dvtm?
00:51 activelow; dvtm, it's small, 47KiB, furthermore it is a terminal multiplexer, something slightly different to a "window manager"
00:52 boldc___; terminal multiplexer sound right name for it
00:53 activelow; comparable to tmux, yet i prefer dvtm, one reason being, even tmux which i considred relatively lightweight and efficient, tmux is 10x bigger in size than dvtm
00:54 boldc___; but must have more features
00:54 activelow; not really
00:54 activelow; furthermore tmux was _missing_ important support for a specific feature: sixels
00:54 boldc___; yes you talked about it
00:55 activelow; there is some wild hacks floating around the internet for tmux-sixel... which are unstable and incomplete... practically not really useful
00:55 boldc___; its grafics related
00:55 activelow; i think it is possible to fully support sixels with dvtm, on top of yaft
00:56 activelow; i hope, far better support than what is available with tmux
00:56 activelow; another huge benefit of dvtm is... easy remote shell access with ssh

00:59 activelow; just fixed the home and end key mappings..., at least
01:00 activelow; next one is sixel support with dvtm

01:59 boldc___; you lost me there pall
02:00 XRevan86; The feeling is mutual.
02:00 MinceR; lol
02:01 activelow; anyway, vim keymappings are a no-brainer, problem is the combination with de/re-attching with different terminal types
02:02 activelow; "anti-competitive crap" ... escapes my intellect why function-key codes, home and end etc. do not match and even conflict between terminal types such as linux and xterm
02:03 activelow; and with dvtm there is always two terminal types: the lower one dvtm attached to, and the upper one exposed to applications and user i/o
02:03 activelow; now... it's working as it should
02:03 boldc___; you are supposed to switch keyboards has you change your terminals to match them
02:04 boldc___; meakes plenty of sense
02:04 boldc___; LOL
02:05 activelow; ok, some DEC keyboards got 20 functions keys, yet it isn't enough to count 1..12..20, it must be abcde6..10??13..20
02:06 boldc___; they should live stream the nazi pig execution live on twitch.tv
02:06 activelow; X11 was a DEC project too, this company is defunct, and 20years later their "innovation" remains a headache
02:06 boldc___; in the same channel he used
02:07 activelow; recently, to "improve" upon this further, X11 switched to evdev keyboard input, which again changed some keycodes and default mappings
02:07 boldc___; and make the users watch it
02:07 activelow; this is how systemd sneaked into x11...
02:08 boldc___; nizi pig fried with free popcorn
02:08 activelow; DEC OpenVMS -> microsoft windows NT... you see
02:08 activelow; DEC X11 -> ... same thing
02:08 activelow; i'll wipe this crap
02:09 activelow; unicode is another story...
02:09 boldc___; hack it off activelow
02:09 boldc___; its all extra fat
02:09 activelow; because, problem is, i want a LANG=C fallback, and be certain the basic terminal i/o remains intact with dvtm ... and guess what
02:10 activelow; it works already... i spare you the details
02:11 psydruid; so X11 and Wayland are both on the chopping block
02:11 boldc___; MinceR have you tracked down the video of the shooting?
02:11 psydruid; might as well nuke the entire codebase
02:12 activelow; i won't be using X11 anymore at all (and certainly not systemd-wayland, never)
02:13 activelow; however, i must ensure i can attach a terminal from within x11, and need this for testing
02:13 MinceR; didn't even try
02:13 boldc___; maybe in ircz?
02:13 psydruid; I'm wondering what a modern windowing system would look like
02:13 activelow; the final stroke to x11 was xterm (and suckless-terminal alike) linking against fontconfig, must-have... it's not optional
02:14 MinceR; ircz doesn't mirror videos
02:14 activelow; hence i do keep rxvt-2.7 too, which brings me back to the LANG=C fallback non-unicode... which does work already without screwing up
02:16 activelow; i was hoping for iso8859 locale, and got flawless terminal output of it, keyboard input is still buggy
02:16 activelow; reminder: iso8859 still is a _standard_, and it is not that old
02:16 activelow; and it isn't deprecated
02:17 activelow; ideally some terminal remained intact, which doesn't need to de/re-encode anything, and just process I/O with iso8859 (or any other)
02:18 activelow; not only are some unicode implementations troublesome, too i had to scrape 20year old rxvt-2.7 sources to keep supporting an ISO _standard_
02:19 activelow; couldn't get any better... wait... IPv6...
02:19 MinceR; i wonder what ISO/IEC 10646 might be, then
02:19 activelow; that's the unicodeone
02:19 activelow; unicode
02:21 MinceR; yeah, and an ISO _STANDARD_ apparently :>
02:22 MinceR; so if your criterion was that you wanted to pay a lot of money for the specs, there it is

03:38 DaemonFC; I almost bought a bunch of Dollar Shave Club blades and a starter kit that were on iBotta.
03:39 DaemonFC; Then I noticed that people reviewing the system recently say they changed the blades and they're cutting their neck and stuff.

04:14 boldc___; gnomevoice! how cool is that
04:14 boldc___; next thing all be bossing my computer around like i do with my smrtphone
04:19 DaemonFC; I remember when they started spamming the entire internet about how much Gilette was ripping you off.
04:20 DaemonFC; And how great their razors were, and very cheap.
04:20 DaemonFC; Now it seems DSC is just like, shitass dollar store quality.
04:20 boldc___; so you got the gilette ones?
04:35 DaemonFC; I usually do, yeah.
04:36 DaemonFC; They're very expensive, but since they did the Mach 3 about 20 years ago I haven't shaved with anything else. Like, every time I try to save a little money I always go back because everyone else's razors snag or cut you.
04:39 DaemonFC; Walmart has some that say Compare to Mach 3 or Fusion or whatever, and I did.
04:39 DaemonFC; Out of the box, they feel like the Mach 3s that I toss after a couple of weeks.
04:40 DaemonFC; Bic's razors are just as bad, if not worse.
04:41 DaemonFC; Schick Xtreme 3 razors aren't too bad.
04:43 DaemonFC; If you absolutely have to save a few bucks during a recession or something then that's where you'd go.
04:45 boldc___; you dont use shaving machine?
04:46 boldc___; it should be cheaper
04:46 DaemonFC; An electric?
04:47 boldc___; yes
04:47 DaemonFC; I had a Norelco for a while that my grandmother got for me.
04:47 DaemonFC; They work, but they don't get close enough.

04:49 DaemonFC; Most of the points don't make sense.
04:50 DaemonFC; I just shave while I'm in the shower. I use liquid hand soap on a wash cloth and go top to bottom, including my hair, and yes it works fine in my hair.
04:50 DaemonFC; Then you can just shave while you're in there with the soap that's already on your face anyway;
04:50 DaemonFC; "Nothing is more painful or more unsightly! than nicks, cuts, and ingrown hairs. Everyone has experienced the pain of a cut at one point or another."
04:51 DaemonFC; Never had any of those with a Mach 3, only with the cheap store brand shit, and Bic.
04:52 DaemonFC; Sometimes iBotta will put Venus razors (for women) on rebate and you can stock up on those. If you get a better price, they work just as well as the men's razors. But for the most part they make them pink so they can call them a women's product and charge more.
04:53 DaemonFC; The only time I used Venus razors was when I got a stack of $5 off coupons and found them on sale at Kroger and I had so many of them I didn't have to buy razors again for like 5 years. So yeah, but they're basically the Mach 3 with a pink handle.

12:13 matey; id like to know what the problem with google caching images is
12:13 matey; also havent they done this forever?
12:13 matey; whats changed?
12:13 mjg59_; Any argument about Google doing something unethical (which, yes, obv) needs to posit a meaningful way to solve that without fucking everyone else over more
12:14 matey; if techrights considered solutions more often, it might result in a better understanding of the problem
12:14 matey; its really not a solutions blog, its a problems blog
12:15 matey; which is fine of course
12:15 matey; i mean you dont HAVE TO talk about solutions to talk about problems
12:15 matey; only sometimes it would help you understand the problem better
12:15 matey; or when something looks like a problem and it really isnt
12:16 mjg59_; Being purely problem-focused risks "Something should be done" and then the something in question makes things worse
12:16 matey; i mean there are solutions like "ibm should stop [being dicks]" but later on you find out theyre going to die anyway
12:16 matey; so like we dont really "need" a solution that would fix the problems like many years sooner...
12:17 matey; well i like solutions
12:17 matey; i love (talking about) problems
12:17 matey; though once youve given the world a chance to talk about solutions, and they arent, considering possible solutions is a good next step

17:03 activelow; and the dmux desktop environment, which is how i name it, shall support x11/suckless-term, maybe x11/rxvt(with legacy graphics support available), linux-terminal(without graphics then), linux-yaft with graphics

19:00 kiki; anyone using wayland and sway ?
19:00 *matey has quit (connection closed)

19:04 schestowitz-TR; yes
19:04 schestowitz-TR; the developers of wayland and sway
19:04 schestowitz-TR; to identify bugs :-)
19:05 *DaemonFC (~daemonfc@j4ykrwq9qntti.irc) has joined #techrights
19:06 bnchs; i use Xorg, and xfce
19:06 DaemonFC; Wayland is now ready to be used daily.
19:06 DaemonFC; Most of the problems previously were performance issues regarding XWayland.
19:06 DaemonFC; Many of those went away with Intel's rewritten driver that uses Gallium3d.
19:07 DaemonFC; There's just not much difference between running even a fairly demanding game on X11 and Wayland in Wine anymore, so I switched back to the Wayland session.
19:07 DaemonFC; We're talking less than half a percentage point in fps either way, so if there is a difference it's indiscernible now.
19:08 DaemonFC; It was like 10-15% in favor of X11, so I just used it all the time back then.
19:08 kiki; so wayland has intel binary blobs ?
19:09 DaemonFC; No, the Intel driver does though. The firmware component.
19:10 MinceR; being unable to capture or warp the pointer is going to break some games, though
19:10 MinceR; especially when running in a window or a multihead setup
19:10 DaemonFC; But so does AMD. Nouveau is utter crap and even after Nvidia's new "open source" kernel module, you will still barely have any 3d performance from Nouveau, if it works at all.
19:10 MinceR; but i'm sure poettering doesn't play such games
19:10 DaemonFC; GNOME has a built in screen capture program now.
19:11 DaemonFC; It's part of the screenshot tool that's been merged into the shell. It is no longer a separate application.
19:11 DaemonFC; It dumps the screen recording out to a WebM file using AV1.
19:12 MinceR; is that the "modularity" i hear so much about?
19:12 MinceR; also, i was talking about capturing the pointer, not capturing the screen
19:13 DaemonFC; https://www.lakemchenryscanner.com/2022/05/14/sheriffs-office-shares-story-of-complex-scam-that-nearly-cost-lake-county-resident-20000/
19:13 TR Bot; Sheriff's office shares story of 'complex scam' that nearly cost Lake County resident $20,000
19:14 DaemonFC; My favorite was when the guy on YouTube let a scammer into a remote desktop that was really Windows 95 running in VirtualBox.
19:15 DaemonFC; The scammer didn't realize what Windows 95 was and mostly figured his way around it, but then when he started typing commands, most of it didn't work, with the OS saying that it couldn't find that program.
19:16 DaemonFC; His first hint should have been that the GUI was clean, there was one obvious way to do things, and when you clicked on something, nothing unexpected happened.
19:16 DaemonFC; Windows hasn't worked like that in over 25 years now, so there's your first clue something is wrong.
19:18 DaemonFC; Microsoft doesn't do any usability studies. They basically look at how the Mac and Chromebook GUIs work, and then copy off of that, introducing ads, Bing, and Edge references. The OS hardly works at all on affordable hardware. They fired the QA team a long time ago and switched to "telemetry".
19:18 DaemonFC; They actually used to have 5,000 product testers on salary to make sure the software basically worked before it went out.
19:19 DaemonFC; They would have found most of the problems that Windows 11 had, and stopped it from going out until those were fixed.
19:19 DaemonFC; But "early adopters" get hit with most of the really weird stuff now, and their computer just reports back what happened to them.
19:21 DaemonFC; I switched to StarOffice early on due to Office 97 requiring me to install Internet Explorer. It would assume that you had it already on Windows 98, and of course I didn't, and then when the rendering engine wasn't there, half the Office programs didn't work.
19:21 DaemonFC; So I found a boxed set of StarOffice at Staples. When the computer rang it up for one penny, I hurried up and bought it and started doing all of my homework assignments in that.

19:45 activelow; DaemonFC> But so does AMD. Nouveau is utter crap <- no, it isn't any better or worse than any other "GPU" within the DRM subsystem
19:48 DaemonFC; Work on Nouveau seems to have mostly stopped since the IBM merger with Red Hat.
19:48 DaemonFC; Even very basic support for new GPUs takes forever, and the 3d engine never works right.
19:48 activelow; last time i tried nouveau, it was stable and fast, with a GT640 known to be supported by it
19:50 activelow; however, the entire DRM subsystem is flawed
19:52 activelow; kernel exposes /dev/fb0 on top of drm/kms subsystem at least, and within userspace there is that many reasosn to ditch libdrm and mesa entirely, it is moot to discuss
19:52 activelow; if you accept non-free commercial rubbish then go for it, libdrm, mesa, opencl etc...
19:54 activelow; on kernel-side, without DRM/KMS there isn't framebuffer support remaining for recent GPU, it is only some very old models which provide /dev/fb0 without drm/kms inside kernel
19:54 activelow; another explanation, why kernel size blew up, because it isn't possible to remove DRM (direct rendering manager) from kernel without loosing almost all GPU support
19:56 activelow; one argument for drm/kms was concurrent access to /dev/fb0, yet i am absolutely sure libsdl1 and libsdl2 for example can vt-switch without drm/kms
19:59 activelow; so, although i am using /dev/fb0 fbcon together with libsdl1 for example, i cannot remove drm from kernel
19:59 activelow; and meanwhile drm remains, i am not willing to merge any libdrm related, one reason being among many others the buildsystem of libdrm is cluttered with python/meson
20:01 activelow; on ARM u-boot initializes hdmi output, and with X86 it is vesa vga bios, and i am using vesafb on x86 which allows mode-switching during system boot
20:02 activelow; which is worth another rant, switching to FullHD with vesafb
20:03 kiki; activelow > do you have any recommendations ?

20:20 kiki; I am tired looking for a pure libre setup.
20:20 activelow; i prefer another ARM SBC vendor, because there is some firmware issue with raspberry which i don't accept, if you're not concerned about the VC4 firmware then raspberry pi
20:21 kiki; hah , that's what i thought too . It serves good for personnel computing .
20:21 kiki; i meant raspberry
20:22 kiki; which is the other ARM ?

21:25 DaemonFC; A long time ago there was the argument that you couldn't run any games on Intel, Radeons were an even bigger mess than Nvidia (FGLRX for the Radeons), and there was just no other way to get good performance under *nix systems with your video accelerator.
21:26 DaemonFC; But the Radeon open source project and the Intel hardware continuing to improve changed that.
21:26 DaemonFC; Today, Nvidia is just a liability as far as wanting things to "just work" and while there is a performance angle, they're also proprietary, and if you use a laptop, it'll cost you twice as much power drain to improve your video performance just a little bit.

21:54 DaemonFC; Their problems are government corruption, mostly.
21:54 DaemonFC; And you're starting to see some US states with similar policies going the same way.
21:54 DaemonFC; Illinois would have already defaulted on its debt had the Federal Reserve and the federal government not propped it up with "coronavirus money".
21:55 DaemonFC; But nothing the state has used 90% of this money on is related to COVID, at all, even indirectly.
21:56 DaemonFC; They borrow from a Fed bailout fund that technically any state could have dipped into, but only Illinois did because other states can get better terms in the private banking sector, or don't need the money because there's less corruption and more budget balancing going on, or at least they admit they require tax money to pay for what they want to do.
21:56 DaemonFC; Then they use the Fed money to pay off higher interest debt. The debt doesn't go away, it's just owed to the Central Bank at lower interest, and it puts the entire nation at risk for what Illinois does next, and we dodn't even need to wait very long to find that out.

21:59 DaemonFC; We have people coming here illegally, gaming the system, not being punished at all for it, and even getting welfare.

22:01 DaemonFC; The sooner we get rid of JB Pritzker the quicker we can begin to heal from this.
22:01 DaemonFC; All of a sudden with crime exploding due to his "justice reform" he's trying to act tough on crime right before the election with the "organized retail theft" law.
22:02 DaemonFC; Shows you what their priority is. They're coming for people who steal Oakley sunglasses and making room by letting the murderers and rapists out.
22:04 DaemonFC; Tough on crime....which bothers rich people.
22:04 DaemonFC; And if they deter any of that, it'll just lead to a spike in muggings and carjackings, which they barely seem to work at all.

22:07 schestowitz-TR; the people in the US are not pleasant
22:12 DaemonFC; Portland.
22:12 DaemonFC; She went to Portland.
22:12 DaemonFC; No, they're not pleasant. They're Democrats. Lots of crime, taxes, etc. Too scared to leave your house because they're letting the criminals kill everyone out there.
22:12 schestowitz-TR; she should have gone where you are, right?
22:13 DaemonFC; Now there's a curfew in Chicago because of the shootings this week. I'm sure the murderers who violate the FOID law care about Lightfoot's stupid-ass curfew.
22:13 DaemonFC; <schestowitz-TR> she should have gone where you are, right?
22:13 schestowitz-TR; you are calling other countries "shitholes"
22:13 DaemonFC; Absolutely not! Although it's better than Portland.

22:14 DaemonFC; They don't. They just "hate on the US" because it makes them feel better about all the bullshit going on in their own country, which they have also ruined.
22:15 DaemonFC; I'm sure it's popular to hate on the US in Hungary or Russia.

22:16 DaemonFC; It's quite popular for people to hate the UK too, apparently.

22:18 DaemonFC; When the government announces that it will solve a problem by taking your money it means grab your ankles.
22:18 DaemonFC; Extreme poverty in the US went up with the "war on poverty", which the government still spends most of the non-defense budget on.
22:18 DaemonFC; It turns out that nobody actually takes Medicaid, yet it is somehow still a quarter of the state budget.
22:19 DaemonFC; People in Chicago with Medicaid cards are complaining that all the doctors who took Medicaid are not taking it, because the state tries to command healthcare prices, and the doctors respond by going "I'm not spending 30 minutes doing a wellness checkup on your kid for $4.".
22:19 DaemonFC; And they stop taking it.
22:21 DaemonFC; Here's how crazy Medicaid is.
22:22 DaemonFC; I have a budget for absolutely anything that goes wrong with the car, as long as I can find plenty of mechanics that go down from their usual rate of about $175 an hour to $20.
22:22 DaemonFC; It's like saying that.
22:23 DaemonFC; And all of these countries with free healthcare, anyone who speaks honestly tells you the government runs off with most of your money, runs the system poorly, and they can't get in for years.
22:23 DaemonFC; By which time they may be dead, so if they have any money at all, then on top of the taxes they pay for "free healthcare", they buy a plane ticket and also pay for the procedure to actually be done elsewhere.
22:24 DaemonFC; I can get on a website right now, and say "I need to see my doctor." and have an appointment that will not be more than 2 weeks from now. Maybe not even a week.

23:41 DaemonFC; The idea to use laundry rinse water for the next wash cycle is patented. LOL
23:42 DaemonFC; I guess someone should sue me in East Texas for holding the hose over a cheap bucket and then pouring the five gallons I got back into the drum for the next load.
23:43 DaemonFC; Now I'm using a mixture of last cycle's rinse water and dehumidifier gray water in my wash cycle.
23:44 DaemonFC; You can't use it for much, but it's still clean enough to go through and wash a load of clothes.
23:45 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR, I about had a stroke when I saw what Fedders wanted for a replacement air conditioner intake filter.
23:45 DaemonFC; They wanted $30 plus shipping for one of those! So I could fix my landlord's air conditioner. So I just went to Walmart and bought one for 89 cents and cut it to fit the intake.
23:46 DaemonFC; They're giving away free cans of Microban at Walmart for a promotion so I have like 6 big cans because I pick up groceries and things there constantly.
23:47 DaemonFC; I looked on the can and it says it kills mold and fungus and stops them from coming back for a while. I hosed down the bathroom walls (I bleached them the other day.) and let it sit there for a while before whiping them down.
23:48 DaemonFC; Hopefully with the dehumidifier keeping things under control and most of the mold dead from me going in there and using chemicals on it, it won't be a problem again.
23:49 DaemonFC; I actually had to go in there and bleach the walls, and then some spots were so bad I had to go back in with a melamine sponge and carefully sand down the mold, then bleach, then sand, bleach.....
23:49 DaemonFC; It's looking pretty good again.
