02:21 DaemonFC; Like aligning my car.

02:23 DaemonFC; You can train anyone and the only wage floor is the minimum wage.

02:23 DaemonFC; So where general inflation has eaten half the dollar's buying power, alignments cost half as much as they once did.

02:24 DaemonFC; In any comparison of prices, you have some things drastically deflating, but it's not common, so you have "generalized inflation".

02:24 DaemonFC; Very few of the dollars people spend are car alignments, or televisions.

02:24 DaemonFC; Most of their dollars are gasoline, rent, utilities, and food.

02:24 DaemonFC; So you have to weight it to what they're buying.

02:25 DaemonFC; If you go by one thing it can paint a very misleading picture, and when there is deflation in a sector, there's usually a neoliberal or "dystopian tech" ( mjg59_ and San Francisco) horror story behind it. Sometimes both.

02:26 DaemonFC; The TVs are cheaper because they fired 11,000 Americans in Indiana and many committed suicide rather than come home and give the news to the wife and kids.

02:26 DaemonFC; They sent it to Mexico and China. (Neoliberal trade economics)

02:27 DaemonFC; The car alignment is cheaper because tech (which doesn't work if you don't maintain it) reduced the skill to "Got a pulse? Get in there!"

02:27 DaemonFC; The workers are worse off and in some cases there is no work at all here, and they kill themselves with fentanyl to make the pain go away.

07:21 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], Backporting from Firefox will invariably mean inheriting more of its limitations, as far as SeaMonkey goes.

07:21 DaemonFC; So it will either cease to exist from inability to maintain robust APIs and feature sets that Mozilla has made incompatible with the latest Gecko or it will cease to exist because it backports the latest Gecko.

07:45 TR Bot; Linux finally dropping floppy drive support - The Tech Report

07:46 schestowitz[TR]; from Torvalds tree

07:46 schestowitz[TR]; "Merge floppy ioctl verification fixes from Denis Efremov.

07:46 schestowitz[TR]; This also marks the floppy driver as orphaned - it turns out that Jiri

07:46 schestowitz[TR]; no longer has working hardware.

07:46 schestowitz[TR]; Actual working physical floppy hardware is getting hard to find, and

07:46 schestowitz[TR]; while Willy was able to test this, I think the driver can be considered

07:46 schestowitz[TR]; pretty much dead from an actual hardware standpoint. The hardware that

07:46 schestowitz[TR]; is still sold seems to be mainly USB-based, which doesn't use this

07:46 schestowitz[TR]; legacy driver at all.

07:46 schestowitz[TR]; The old floppy disk controller is still emulated in various VM

07:46 schestowitz[TR]; environments, so the driver isn't going away, but let's see if anybody

07:46 schestowitz[TR]; is interested to step up to maintain it.

07:46 schestowitz[TR]; "

07:47 schestowitz[TR]; Documentation/devicetree/bindings/counter/ftm-quaddec.txt

07:47 schestowitz[TR]; drivers/block/floppy.c

07:49 mjg59_; That driver's a nightmare. It dates back to Linus's original code and it had a pile of hacks put on top of it. It's been responsible for multiple security vulnerabilities. The Windows floppy driver is probably just as bad.

07:50 starstreak; Roy runs a pentium 2 as his main computer and hes upset that floppy support is removed

07:52 phanes; if they can successfully remove that'll be interesting. i haven't looked at that specific driver but iirc alot of legacy hardware interaction (at a higher level) is baked into some of the gnu toolchain like tar

07:53 phanes; like, tar literally wants to interact with a tape drive

07:53 phanes; but its so useful in other contexts they dont seem to want to touch it

07:54 mjg59_; Apple dropped support for the last hardware with a built-in floppy in 2007

07:54 phanes; doesn't really make alot of sense for linux/bsd to drop old hardware support tbh

07:54 phanes; unless it interferes with newer hardware supportability

07:55 mjg59_; And USB floppy drives can't read old 800K Mac floppies (this is a combination of 800K Mac floppies doing ridiculous things like variable rotation speed, and also the USB floppy drive specification being shit)

07:55 mjg59_; It's attack surface

07:55 starstreak; linus dropped 486 support saying museum computers should run museum kernels

07:55 mjg59_; It absolutely makes sense to reduce the amount of badly-written insecure code in the kernel

07:55 mjg59_; It doesn't strictly need to be removed, but there's no reason for distros to maintain it

07:56 starstreak; attack surface

07:56 mjg59_; And it does mean that certain other types of changes that impact the floppy driver involve having to figure out what the fuck it's actually doing in order to fix it up to match

07:56 phanes; not when you have literal configurability over which drivers are even built into modules or into the kernel

07:56 phanes; mark it legacy_insecure and move on i say

07:59 *phanes mumbles something about modal design that mjg59_ won't understand

07:59 DaemonFC; I'm not sure how the software asks for something, but Google's incompetence in blocking it using only JavaScript doesn't result in an effective technical measure.


8 AM, June 20

08:00 phanes; DaemonFC, it won't hold up in court anyway

08:00 schestowitz[TR]; let's add secure module to the floppy

08:00 schestowitz[TR]; that dials in MSFT

08:00 schestowitz[TR]; to make sure the floppy is safe

08:00 DaemonFC; They were smart and only use ShitHub as a mirror.

08:00 schestowitz[TR]; and sends hashes to Apple

08:00 phanes; they can't decide which clients/browsers are used to access their service as a security measure or term of service

08:00 DaemonFC; The content is all on their site too.

08:00 schestowitz[TR]; so that apple can check the floppy has no CP on it

08:00 mjg59_; Courts have depressingly expansive interpretations of what an effective technical measure is

08:01 DaemonFC; Well, to be an effective technical measure, you'd think it would have to be somewhat likely to be effectoive.

08:01 DaemonFC; *effective

08:01 phanes; mjg59_, FCRA won't fly with a "you spoofed your user agent to acess the site" or "you didn't use the right web browser" when someone asks an expert to testify on the functional difference between a browser and an api client

08:01 DaemonFC; And the fact that so many programs can access files from YouTube shows that it's not effective at stopping them.

08:01 DaemonFC; Unless Google starts requiring Widevine to watch YouTube, this shouldn't hold up in court.

08:02 phanes; i just got done a few years ago humiliating the shit out of MATCH LLC's legal team over just that issue

08:02 DaemonFC; If they don't, then you're just pointing something at a barely obfuscated file.

08:02 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], Automated pizza restaurants.

08:02 starstreak; phanes, cuz nobody on match.com wants to date a freemason?

08:02 DaemonFC; Subscribe to DrPizza.

08:03 mjg59_; What's the difference between Widevine and trivial obfuscation other than degree?

08:03 DaemonFC; Get some Cheese Pizza every day.

08:03 phanes; starstreak, you'd think the lizard babes would be interested

08:03 DaemonFC; Just the tip.

08:03 DaemonFC; $99 for Black Friday

08:03 DaemonFC; <mjg59_> What's the difference between Widevine and trivial obfuscation other than degree?

08:03 mjg59_; It's all just code

08:03 DaemonFC; Level of effort to overcome it.

08:03 mjg59_; Yes!

08:04 starstreak; im not kinkshaming but im not into having my adrenochrome drunk by a lizard babe

08:04 mjg59_; Now how much effort do you think a court is going to conclude is sufficient for something to be an effective technical measure?

08:04 DaemonFC; I think the court should look at how much effort the copyright holder put into "protection" and whether it was reasonable to assume it may succeed.

08:04 mjg59_; CSS wasn't a terribly complicated mechanism, but was considered to be sufficient

08:04 phanes; none in that context. a publicly accessible service can't dictate which web browsers are used.

08:04 DaemonFC; <mjg59_> CSS wasn't a terribly complicated mechanism, but was considered to be sufficient

08:04 DaemonFC; It shouldn't have been.

08:04 mjg59_; I agree, and yet

08:05 phanes; they have to have a reasonable expectation as part of their due course of business that a myriad of browsers will be used to access their public service

08:05 DaemonFC; Slysoft sells software that cracks Blu Ray discs.

08:05 DaemonFC; And has for some time.

08:05 DaemonFC; UHD Blu Rays, what few there are.

08:06 *GGGGgggg has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)

08:06 DaemonFC; The public domain should be expanded to anything that was released more than 40 years ago.

08:06 phanes; and since there is no difference between, say, google chrome, and a self-made python client using the requests module, they're both browsers, that falls under reasonably expected use

08:07 starstreak; i think they should only expect chrome and firefox

08:07 phanes; that's before identity disambiguation tests come in to say "is the author the one accessing the site" or "are the users of the author's product the ones violating the terms"

08:07 DaemonFC; Watching Disney and Florida trying to screw each other is hilarious and bizarre.

08:07 phanes; well that seems easy enough to determine, until you look at the author's documentation

08:08 phanes; but yeah, layers of failure built into the FCRA for companies that bully devs about public api interaction

08:09 DaemonFC; Google is now making it painfully obvious that it needs to be replaced.

08:09 phanes; that's if it gets to court, it usually won't because then the legal team has to consider what the impact will be if they litigate and lose

08:09 DaemonFC; It shoves ads into other people's videos, even ones that it won't allow them to make money off of.

08:10 DaemonFC; This is like profiting off of the fake abortion clinics that turn women over to the cops.

08:10 phanes; oh fuck yeah, google has turned into something absurdly dystopian and it's continuing to be driving that direction fast

08:10 DaemonFC; mjg59_, Did you change them from the inside by doing work for them?

08:10 DaemonFC; I recall you said you were doing that.

08:10 phanes; i'd have loved to have been a fly on the wall for that conversation lol

08:10 DaemonFC; Did you secure a union for the people helping the police find the women that want the abortions, at least?

08:11 phanes; "hi i was on a mailing list 10 years ago, please listen to my ideas about your world-leading business practices"

08:11 phanes; those usually get a "that's good feedback" the first time if they're merciful

08:11 phanes; silence is worse

08:12 phanes; but, i mean, shit i wasn't there, he could have called him a transphobe first to get some leverage for change

08:13 *phanes pictures mjg59_ holding a wooden staff outside the c-suite meeting room at google screaming "LET MY WIFE'S PEOPLE GO" and then dovetailing into updating the code of conduct for product teams

08:21 schestowitz[TR]; like phasing out floppy disks

08:21 techuser; Not sure. Does not seem to be related to gender, non-binary is a separate thing. As for "sexual", I am not sure if it is about sex or sexuality.

08:21 schestowitz[TR]; despite magnetic storage not being too bad

08:22 phanes; kinda dumb to phase out legacy hardware on bsd and linux

08:22 schestowitz[TR]; compare to the volatile "storage" we replace that with

08:22 techuser; But I agree that genders/sexes are much less relevant than advertised.

08:22 schestowitz[TR]; security is barely a problem with floppy drives

09:01 DaemonFC; Which I also don't use, so don't care.

09:02 DaemonFC; It's sort of like that.

09:04 DaemonFC; For a country that doesn't care how many kids get shot, we sure are funny in some ways.

09:04 DaemonFC; One kid jumps out the car window and every car has to have a lock button.

19:44 schestowitz[TR]; Hi Lucy,

19:44 schestowitz[TR]; It has now been 4+ weeks since the E-mail that I relayed you.

19:44 schestowitz[TR]; As per the advice from your case worker, may I kindly suggest you escalate the matter to Parliament, stating that Action Fraud not only ignores fraud complaints from victims (the response below is quite obviously a template for several reasons; they didn't bother even responding to it, except by bot) but also ignores my MP?

19:44 schestowitz[TR]; I did not know I lived in a Third-World Country where police exists only in principle. After contacting Greater Manchester Police and speaking to them for 40 minutes they strongly insisted that I contact Action Fraud and assured me action would be taken. It turns out to be even worse as Action Fraud isn't even responding to my MP and my colleagues had a lot of money stolen from them too.

19:44 schestowitz[TR]; Based on inside sources, the company is quickly vanishing with all that stolen money. Action Fraud has failed to deal with this for 2 months already.

19:44 schestowitz[TR]; Kind regards,

20:02 DaemonFC; They built a Tesla supercharging station in Waukegan, population 90,000.

20:03 DaemonFC; I've seen.....one car use it....ever.

20:03 DaemonFC; There's like 20 chargers and nobody is ever using them even though they're compatible with every EV you can buy right now.

20:04 DaemonFC; I guess Pete Buttfuck needs to go tell the Waukeganites that they shouldn't pay $4 for gas when they can have a $15,000 battery they don't even make anymore go kerplunk five years after the car was built.

20:05 MinceR; it's not a fuel pump

20:06 DaemonFC; They also decided that the only affordable EV you can actually buy from them will no longer be produced.

20:06 MinceR; it's a fancy power outlet

20:06 DaemonFC; Instead you can buy a Hummer with a battery heavier than my Buick.

20:07 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], The only advantage I can see in electric motors is that they don't require all of these fluids that are really bad for the environment that you have to dispose of every few years.

20:07 DaemonFC; Like antifreeze.

20:08 DaemonFC; That's some nasty nasty stuff. So like, that hipster with the Hummer on YouTube made me spit out my water when I saw him nearly get a face full of green coolant.

20:08 DaemonFC; No safety goggles. No gloves.

20:08 DaemonFC; Just open the petcock and it all comes out. He had this pathetic little $2 bucket from Walmart that caught about 1/3rd of it.

20:08 DaemonFC; I'm amazed that his vehicle still functions if he's doing his own upkeep like this.

20:09 DaemonFC; You could have a bucket underneath it that will not let more than a few stray drops end up on your garage floor.

20:10 DaemonFC; MinceR, Mandy says that Mark (MARISOL's husband) does their oil changes and brakes and stuff.

20:10 DaemonFC; I said "With three car payments, two kids, and a house that has depreciated $150,000 adjusted dollars that still has a decade on the mortgage, I can see why."

20:11 DaemonFC; "Look at me. I can do an oil change!"

20:11 DaemonFC; That's nice. I mean, nothing like saving $5 on an oil change on a BMW with $1,200 wheel hub bearings and $3,000 tires.

20:11 MinceR; lol

20:11 DaemonFC; MARISOL went down to the stealership and got $3,000 tires.

20:11 DaemonFC; What the fuck kind of tire costs $750 per tire?

20:12 DaemonFC; The most I've ever paid for tires was $750 for all four of them, and that included new TPMS sensors and the road hazard plan, and that was when I got the Defender 2s for the Buick down at Walmart.

20:12 MinceR; the veblen good kind of tire

20:13 MinceR; with the bmw markup

20:13 MinceR; and the bmw dealer markup

20:13 DaemonFC; MinceR, I might pour some of this crap in the Buick 100 miles before my next oil change.

20:13 TR Bot; Oil Sludge Flush | LIQUI MOLY

20:13 DaemonFC; See if any nasty shit comes out.

20:14 DaemonFC; I've used their Pro-Line Flush once. The one that's really strong and so you idle the car for 15 minutes and then drain it out real good and change the oil and filter.

20:14 DaemonFC; That's basically an "Oh shit, Grandma never got her oil changed and now I have the car." product.

20:15 DaemonFC; If your engine is pretty clean already you can just use the stuff you pour in and drive 100 miles or so before the oil change every now and then.

20:15 DaemonFC; I can't imagine why the Germans usually make such good stuff and they can't figure out how to make a car?

20:16 DaemonFC; Like, I use their car _products_ on my GM 3800s.

20:16 MinceR; cars are much more complex and are expected to last far longer

20:17 MinceR; they might very well make many components well, but not all of them

20:17 DaemonFC; It's better to use the more gentle product every now and then so you don't have to use Pro Line. Pro Line is stronger stuff and you risk breaking free a serious amount of sludge that all ends up somewhere worse than it was before.

20:17 AdmFubar; https://restofworld.org/2023/metahumans-go-mainstream-indonesia/

↺ https://restofworld.org/2023/metahumans-go-mainstream-indonesia/

20:17 TR Bot; Metahumans are going mainstream in Indonesia - Rest of World

20:17 MinceR; plus they think they're so smart they have to show off every time

20:17 MinceR; plus their managers demand cost cuts at the customers' expense

20:18 MinceR; so you end up with pointless extra complexity that makes their cars fail

20:18 DaemonFC; MinceR, It amazes me how much technology they put in a BMW.

20:18 MinceR; and shit like bmw replacing some metal part near the engine with plastic that can't withstand the heat stress and keep all the savings

20:18 DaemonFC; You can hardly find any that are 4-5 years old no matter how well someone took care of it, that doesn't have forty fault codes.

20:18 DaemonFC; And the German fault codes are actually pretty funny to read off.

20:18 MinceR; so bmw owners give them lots of money for some shit that breaks again and again

20:18 MinceR; and sometimes they're just plain retarded

20:18 MinceR; like when they came up with that audi allroad

20:19 DaemonFC; Most of the time those 40 codes don't actually impact anything the driver would notice.

20:19 MinceR; with the transmission that couldn't withstand the engine's unimpressive torque

20:19 DaemonFC; Oh, you mean these modern transmissions with the belt?

20:19 MinceR; not sure

20:19 DaemonFC; Nobody makes those well, except the Japanese.

20:19 MinceR; Doug DeMuro had a video about it, it's hilarious

20:19 DaemonFC; Even the Japanese ran into some trouble with that.

20:20 MinceR; for CVTs even the japanese had to come up with an extra launch gear, apparently

20:20 DaemonFC; MinceR, I'd rather have a transmission that I can feel shifting the car, that might just not have the best 0-60 time in the world, but stays operating for a long, long time.

20:20 MinceR; and i don't know if that's any good when offroading

20:21 DaemonFC; MinceR, I don't know what the cult following of VW is.

20:21 DaemonFC; Car is a money pit.

20:21 MinceR; \_()_/

20:21 DaemonFC; 0-60 eventually.

20:21 MinceR; i know hungarians tend to worship german shitboxes

20:21 MinceR; but that's because most hungarians are painfully stupid

20:22 MinceR; i don't know how most of these people manage to remember to keep breathing

20:22 DaemonFC; MinceR, General Motors.

20:22 DaemonFC; 12 mpg in the city. 0-60 eventually.

20:22 MinceR; ooh, i drove a shitbox that was both german and GM at the same time

20:22 MinceR; i eventually gave up trying to find the 4th gear

20:23 DaemonFC; MinceR, GM is cloning Japanese rice rockets now.

20:23 DaemonFC; All kinds of production problems of course.

20:23 MinceR; good luck with that

20:23 MinceR; i thought usian car companies were trying to do that for ages

20:23 DaemonFC; But until the first transmission blows up on you in 20,000 miles.... Real fast.

20:23 MinceR; though sometimes they just contracted some japanese company to do most of it

20:23 DaemonFC; <MinceR> i thought usian car companies were trying to do that for ages

20:23 DaemonFC; GM only did this a few times.

20:24 DaemonFC; I felt like my 1995 Chevy Corsica with the 3100 was a solid contender for the marketspace with a Honda Civic of the same era.

20:24 DaemonFC; That was probably as close as they ever got.

20:25 bagira; DaemonFC is turning into a car

20:25 DaemonFC; Ford ordered a bunch of Yamaha engines for a sports car they never built then put them in the Ford Taurus "SHO" to satisfy the contract.

20:25 DaemonFC; Then when that became unexpectedly popular, they made the Taurus SHO an ongoing thing.

20:25 DaemonFC; The disaster didn't begin until they tried to use a small Ford V8 in them instead of the DOHC V6.

20:30 AdmFubar; he's becoming a transformer...

20:31 AdmFubar; soon he will be banned for being trans....

20:31 MinceR; :)

20:33 DaemonFC; MinceR, I bought a new Lasko WindMachine to replace the one that broke down on me after 15 years.

20:33 DaemonFC; This one doesn't seem as well built.

20:35 DaemonFC; Still moves a lot of air though.

20:36 DaemonFC; I don't know why my mother complained so much about "fans being for people who can't afford air conditioning.....they don't do anything except blow more hot air on you".

20:37 DaemonFC; That's not exactly true. They help create a wind chill effect, and that's like, your body temperature creates this stagnant hot air around you that it can't get rid of, and your body tries to maintain its internal temperature at close to 99 degrees.

20:38 DaemonFC; So unless the air the fan blows on you is very humid and/or getting close to the upper 90s, the fan is blowing away hot stagnant air from around you and replacing it with air that's probably a good 10-30 degrees cooler than your body temperature.

20:39 DaemonFC; But even during a dangerous heat wave (where you should give up and turn on the air conditioning), the fan still helps your body's evaporative cooling.

20:40 DaemonFC; It's a mistake to rent an apartment on a higher floor than ground level if you can avoid it. The hottest apartments in the summer will be the ones on higher levels, because the heat in the building will rise through the floor from units below you.

20:41 DaemonFC; I planned for this when we moved in here. There were some units up on three, but I've been in apartments like that and realized how difficult and expensive it gets to cool them.

20:41 DaemonFC; MinceR, Some engine designs were air cooled.

20:42 DaemonFC; You can certainly do that. The engine has cooling ducts that are basically heat sinks that fans blow lots of outside air through.

20:42 DaemonFC; BMW has some now which use refrigerant instead of coolant (water/antifreeze).

20:42 DaemonFC; Imagine what that'll be like when the cooling system takes a dump on you.

20:43 DaemonFC; Radiator replacements are expensive, but they're doable.

20:43 MinceR; it will be typical for a bmw

20:43 DaemonFC; Remove old radiator and hoses, install new radiator and hoses, put in new coolant. Done.

20:43 MinceR; the shitbox dies and you get to buy a new one

20:43 MinceR; and maybe it will be the fire department's job to collect what's left of the alleged car.

20:44 DaemonFC; MinceR, I've put the old radiator in the Buick through three coolant flushes, and two of those used a descaling step.

20:44 DaemonFC; It's really expensive to go through replacing the entire cooling system.

20:44 DaemonFC; So the only NEW part of that is the thermostat.

20:45 DaemonFC; I think I've gotten most of the gunk and corrosion out by now.

20:45 DaemonFC; I saw a sample of the 14 month old coolant and it was a little discolored but not horrific.

20:45 DaemonFC; So I had them flush it out with water and prestone descaler before filling her up with Yellow.

20:46 DaemonFC; It's like an old water heater.

20:46 DaemonFC; You buy the house and decide to flush out the water heater because your piping hot shower only lasts for four minutes.

20:46 DaemonFC; And then it stops working at all. :P

20:46 DaemonFC; MinceR, Mom and Dave bought an old house like this.

20:47 DaemonFC; The guy they bought it from, Tom I think his name was, had an old water heater full of scale and corrosion.

20:47 DaemonFC; It was rusted at the bottom and leaking into the sump pump.

20:47 DaemonFC; And he goes "I just put new elements on it!"

20:48 DaemonFC; "What's that noise?" Oh just the sump pump getting rid of the water you just heated up. Enjoy the gas bill!

20:49 DaemonFC; MinceR, So part of what I ended up doing was disconnecting the old water heater and setting aside the new elements he put on. Those were brass. I recycled them separately because brass is more expensive than mixed metal.

20:49 DaemonFC; Nearly gave myself a hernia getting that thing out of their basement with a lift truck. I had Dave on the bottom of it pushing it up the stairs.

20:51 DaemonFC; schestowitz[TR], Yes, after I removed the old water heater and all of the old leaking copper plumbing, old filing cabinets, and a ton of empty old PC cases, I recycled the metal (after separating it), and went back down and hooked up new PEX plumbing, a new water heater with a blanket, and a new sump pump.

20:51 DaemonFC; The old one crapped out right as we got 15 days straight of thunderstorms.

20:52 DaemonFC; It flooded their basement out and mom was screaming because the laundry was floating around on top of a foot of water.

20:52 DaemonFC; She kept doing all this stuff thinking she was going to fix the next one.

20:52 DaemonFC; Then it turns out, he had 5 girlfriends on Facebook.

20:53 DaemonFC; Those were some nasty storms. I was in an apartment building that was about 150 feet from the river.

20:54 DaemonFC; Each day I saw the river creeping up 10 feet closer to the apartment until it finally did flood a couple of the units. It got up to the apartment next door to mine, but what saved me was we were on a hill and my apartment was sitting about another 6-7 feet up from theirs.

20:54 DaemonFC; If it had kept raining for about another day mine would have been underwater too.
