00:36 DaemonFC; schestowitz, Another big BIPA settlement.
00:36 DaemonFC; A vending machine company in Illinois was taking people's fingerprints when they ordered sandwiches, snacks, and drinks out of it.
00:36 DaemonFC; So they owe me $600 because I purchased a sandwich from one of their machines.
00:37 XRevan86; Also Finland having a long-term contract with Gazprom makes me think that the only real reason why they rejected the silly ruble demand that has no bearing on reality is that it forces Gazprom to violate and terminate the contract.
00:38 XRevan86; Which is a clean exit for Finland from the contract that would've otherwise haunted them for 9 years.
00:39 DaemonFC; You could say the gas deal blew up on Putin.
00:39 DaemonFC; Most of the people he's trying to "negotiate" like this don't really need the stuff that badly.
00:39 XRevan86; Putin made a statement and with that single statement worsened the situation for Russia.
00:40 DaemonFC; Well yeah, because now Finland isn't going to buy any Russian gas which hurts the Russian economy.
00:40 activelow; XRevan86: i think there is a misunderstanding
00:40 XRevan86; activelow: By you? :)
00:40 DaemonFC; After Ukraine throws them out, it will probably join NATO.
00:40 activelow; which is, the supposed gas supply shortage is not caused by Putin
00:41 activelow; instead, within "EU" various political actors aggressively agitate "climate change" etc...
00:41 DaemonFC; Had Russia bargained to withdraw immediately in exchange for neutrality from Ukraine, they could have gotten that, months ago.
00:41 DaemonFC; At this point about half the equipment Russia sent in with the invasion is destroyed or captured.
00:41 XRevan86; activelow: The situation is actually very single, I don't get what ye don't understand here.
00:41 XRevan86; * very simple
00:41 activelow; for various reasons, including excess taxation cash grabbing, while Gazprom supplied gas at 20Euro/MWh... i spare you the details, what the surplus margin is within "EU"
00:41 DaemonFC; The US sent "defensive weaponry", but the thing is our stuff works.
00:42 activelow; now, various political lunatics, in "EU", not russia, struggle with their bullshit propaganda
00:42 XRevan86; activelow: Ye previously said that there are no long-term contracts, and that's bad for Europe.
00:43 activelow; because, energy prices exploded, regarldes of any "war" wherever, the energy prices in EU are not realted to this
00:43 XRevan86; Meanwhile, there is a literal long-term contract, that exists, and which Gazprom violates and terminates, *because* Mr. Putin said a stupid thing.
00:43 activelow; now, "EU" propaganda apparatschiks intend to deflect and blame Putin
00:43 activelow; XRevan86: "sanctions", which were pushed by "EU"
00:44 XRevan86; activelow: Finland is not doing it because of the sanctions.
00:44 activelow; if Gazprom doesn't receive orders nor payment, then gas supplies vanish
00:44 DaemonFC; If Germany hadn't set out to shut down their nuclear power plants, you wouldn't be in this horrible quagmire involving Russian gas.
00:44 activelow; furthermore Putin clearly stated there isn't any conflict between Sweden/Finland and Russia
00:45 XRevan86; activelow: Let me tell you again: the old payment scheme and the new payment scheme are close enough that EU doesn't even consider the change as a violation of sanctions.
00:45 activelow; Putin expressed concern only about this: NATO weaponry at the borders of the russian federation
00:45 DaemonFC; The unified German government decided to turn off nuclear power plants that worked, and would still work today.
00:45 DaemonFC; Claiming that they were "unsafe" and then they started buying Putin's blood gas instead.
00:45 XRevan86; activelow: The ruble mess is _nominal_. Understand?
00:45 activelow; XRevan86: tbh. not really, i do not understand yet what the rublefication means
00:46 DaemonFC; Putin hasn't stabilized the value of the Ruble, he's just instituted policies that return the appearance of normality even though the economy is ruined.
00:46 XRevan86; activelow: Do I have to explain what they did again?
00:46 activelow; i only noticed, in the local grocery store, excess inflation, prices for bread +30%, although reports were germany produced all wheat it requires and doesn't depend on imports
00:46 activelow; which, again, i do not believe was related to Putin or Gazprom
00:47 activelow; it is a cash grabbing scam again by "EU" or "german" government
00:47 XRevan86; activelow: So after Putin made that demand, Gazprom realised that they have to conform but also keep the clients, so they proposed a new scheme: the clients pay in Gazprombank in whatever currency, then they internally convert it to rubles and that is considered the payment.
00:47 XRevan86; activelow: Trust me, this is what happened.
00:48 DaemonFC; You can make a currency worth almost anything you want, per unit.
00:48 DaemonFC; China and Japan have been maintaining Dollar pegs for years by buying US Treasury Bonds.
00:48 XRevan86; activelow: Most EU countries accepted the terms because who even cares.
00:48 XRevan86; activelow: But some, like Finland, considered it's not worth it, and declined.
00:48 DaemonFC; China can give that up, but they would ruin their biggest customer and create lots of unemployed angry people in China.
00:49 XRevan86; activelow: What this means is that de-facto Finland terminates the long-term contract, but de-jure Gazprom terminates it.
00:49 XRevan86; So Gazprom is culpable here.
00:49 XRevan86; and it is Putin and Gazprom who gave that exit for Finland, which additionally makes them culpable.
00:50 XRevan86; * to Finland
00:50 activelow; i do not think it is Gazprom or Putin at fault, it is the EU propaganda bullshit
00:50 XRevan86; In what world is that not a very self-harming thing to do?
00:50 XRevan86; This is not propaganda, this is literally events.
00:51 XRevan86; Things that happened.
00:52 activelow; you see, those EU propaganda prostitutes in politics and tv... to safe the climate and social ecological justice and this and that... this justified excess looting and plundering, _within_ EU, this is unrelated to russia and gazprom
00:52 activelow; the problem within EU, is the financial and economic disparaties, corruption, mis-management
00:53 XRevan86; I said things that are very much related to Russia and Gazprom.
00:53 activelow; energy price explosion was extreme within "EU", long before the "war", without any impact on "climate" or "justice" blah
00:54 activelow; now they seek an excuse, why this excess taxation cash grabbing didn't have the desired effect on "climate change"... evil dictator Putin they say now
00:54 XRevan86; I prefer things that are concrete.
00:54 XRevan86; There is simple cause and effect here, very clearly visible.
00:55 XRevan86; If that doesn't fit into your broad scheme, then maybe it has a poor connection to reality or none at all.
00:55 activelow; furthermore, EU cheated Russia/Gazprom, by devaluating Euro currency
00:56 activelow; "EU" propaganda now argues, the recent inflation was caused by Putin... which is ridiculous propaganda
00:56 activelow; because, the last data i read about was Gas for 20Euro/MWh
00:56 XRevan86; In what fscking world is that true? Relative to ruble both USD and euro cheapen right now with such a degree individual fluctuations are not even noticeable.
00:58 MinceR; https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/grind
00:58 TR Bot; Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal - Grind
00:58 XRevan86; It's also probably the first time most economists see strengthening of a currency has a bad thing.
00:58 MinceR; presumably in the dream world of russian state media
00:58 MinceR; in which the date is no later than 2022-feb-27
00:58 XRevan86; It is actually strengthening, but there is a nuance, several actually.
00:59 IPFS; IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 21.15 k/sec., IPFS upstream 28.43 average k/sec., average swarm size 429.05
00:59 XRevan86; MinceR: One catch is that Russian economical isolation made currency conversion significantly less prevalent.
01:00 XRevan86; Another catch is that exporters from Russia are obligated to sell 80% of their foreign currency profits, i.e. buy rubles.
01:01 XRevan86; And it seems that because they have to do it, and expect losses, they are inclined to buy rubles at a loss.
01:01 XRevan86; And that in turn makes the ruble more expensive.
01:02 XRevan86; And then there are restrictions for who can even buy USD and euros in Russia.
01:02 XRevan86; All that combined makes the ruble rapidly gain cost.
01:02 XRevan86; I'm curious how far it'll go.
01:03 activelow; what exactly would Russia import with Euros or USD? and too the chinese did rublefy their trade with russia
01:03 activelow; XRevan86: is there anything you couldn't by with Rubles?
01:05 MinceR; anything that isn't produced in terrorussia
01:06 MinceR; or at least not produced _or_ sold
01:06 MinceR; a Big Mac, for example :>
01:09 XRevan86; activelow: Show me anything that China buys from / sells to Russia for rubles.
01:10 XRevan86; "what exactly would Russia import with Euros or USD?" <- *everything*
01:11 schestowitz_TR2; even from chiona?
01:11 XRevan86; With USD, yes.
01:11 schestowitz_TR2; i once read they use yuan more and more over time
01:11 schestowitz_TR2; maybe I misunderstood
01:11 schestowitz_TR2; i think they trade with china n their own currencies
01:11 schestowitz_TR2; be sure to double-check this
01:12 schestowitz_TR2; and, if true, it's pretty significsnt
01:12 schestowitz_TR2; because china gdp is about on par with eu zone and us
01:12 schestowitz_TR2; russia was about the same as spain or south korea
01:12 schestowitz_TR2; a bit smaller, maybe more so now with sanctions
01:13 schestowitz_TR2; XRevan86: did you consider seeking asylum in baltic states?
01:13 XRevan86; schestowitz: I don't know about in general, but Russia and the PRC exchange in USD.

01:14 schestowitz; "To facilitate financial transactions in the regions, China and Russia will conduct a currency swap. Central banks, with whom China has signed currency swaps, are able to issue loans to their banks in yuan. A currency swap agreement was signed with Russia in the amount of 150 billion yuan ($25 billion). "
01:14 schestowitz; "Currency swaps will make the ruble and the yuan more stable, which in turn will have a positive impact on the stability of the global financial system. Additionally, the expansion of currency trading may facilitate investment processes. By investing in an economy that is now facing certain problems due to the fall of the ruble and oil prices, China is carrying out soft expansion and supports one of its main partners"
01:15 schestowitz; "China and Russia have long advocated reducing the role of the dollar in international trade, and both aim to create conditions for the development of bilateral trade and mutual investment."
01:15 schestowitz; "The rate of de-dollarization chosen by the countries is due to the rapid growth of the RMB's share in international payments and settlements (Oct. 2013. 0.84%, Dec. 2014. 2.17%, Feb. 2015. 1.81%)."

01:17 schestowitz_TR2; but so is US and maybe EU
01:17 XRevan86; schestowitz: Despite what activelow thinks, Russia really wants dollars and euros that are accessible.
01:18 schestowitz_TR2; EU does not even a debt as severee
01:18 schestowitz_TR2; except maybe Greece and some other debt-saddled nations
01:18 XRevan86; So if it can get some hands on physical dollars and euros, it would.
01:18 schestowitz_TR2; China will emerge stronger from this war
01:18 schestowitz_TR2; Two world wars doomed Europe
01:18 schestowitz_TR2; then, USA emerged as a superpower for many years
01:18 XRevan86; Respectively, I doubt China wants rubles.
01:18 schestowitz_TR2; USSR fell first

01:19 schestowitz_TR2; USSA is falling since around 2000
01:19 schestowitz_TR2; 1990s was a good period of tikme for USians

01:19 schestowitz_TR2; dollars is already waning
01:19 schestowitz_TR2; theyh ruined nations to protect "petrodollar"
01:19 XRevan86; schestowitz: Definitely not compared to ruble.
01:20 schestowitz_TR2; KSA is already exploring yuan exchanges
01:20 schestowitz_TR2; instead of USD
01:20 schestowitz_TR2; ruble is f*ed
01:20 schestowitz_TR2; Russia collapsed when Putin still had hair
01:20 schestowitz_TR2; now it's just throwing tanks at it
01:20 schestowitz_TR2; next, maybe nukes
01:21 XRevan86; schestowitz: Maybe Russia'll figure the currency from the gas contracts is enough and will indeed switch exchanges with China to yuans.

01:43 schestowitz; "Many Aboriginal Australians have claimed that smallpox outbreaks in Australia were a deliberate result of European colonisation,[32] though this possibility has only been raised by historians from the 1980s onwards, when Dr. Noel Butlin suggested "there are some possibilities that... disease could have been used deliberately as an exterminating agent."[33]"

02:00 XRevan86; DaemonFC: There is GLONASS
02:00 DaemonFC; The person issuing the field maps could have updated them to reflect that it is a disaster area?
02:01 XRevan86; DaemonFC: Like I said, the Russian army eroded under glorious Putin's system, and is not fit for war.
02:01 XRevan86; In Putin's head it looks a tiny bit in the exact opposite way.
02:02 DaemonFC; <XRevan86> DaemonFC: There is GLONASS
02:02 DaemonFC; Right, the shittier Russian version of GPS.
02:02 DaemonFC; Not as accurate. They also have had trouble maintaining the coverage of the network.
02:03 XRevan86; And they use components that are no longer accessible, so no new GLONASS for Russia.
02:03 DaemonFC; LOL
02:03 DaemonFC; So the system will degrade even more the longer that goes on.
02:03 XRevan86; Unless they figure something out fast.
02:04 DaemonFC; Other than launching more satellites or moving the ones you have to different positions to expand the field of coverage at the price of reducing the accuracy even more.
02:04 XRevan86; Russia does have actual surveillance satellites, but I know jack shit about them.
02:04 DaemonFC; The second part would only work for as long as you can maintain at least some minimal number of satellites in the system.
02:05 DaemonFC; It'll be interesting when those start failing too.

02:46 chicksahoy; it was a facebook group called "Queer Communism"

02:47 chicksahoy; and there was this dude on tiktok who was the same as them too
02:47 activelow; XRevan86: this history lesson from NYT is remarkable
02:47 activelow; because, germans already lived in ukraine and russia, long before any conquest during ww2
02:48 activelow; it was preceeding "red terror" which ignited fear of "bolshevism" in germany
02:48 activelow; and the historical roots date back at least to the times of Katherine the Great

03:27 MinceR; not much of a casus belli, is it?
03:28 XRevan86; MinceR: It takes a lot to figure out what casus belli activelow even sees in one thing or another.
03:28 XRevan86; I usually fail at that.
03:29 activelow; i had not noticed once the Ukrainian pipelines should stop operations, never, not once did anyone argue to terminate the ukrainian pipeline, not the russians, not the germans, noone
03:29 activelow; although, i do wonder, what Burisma Bidler did, in Ukraine, and why USA dumped billions of cash
03:30 activelow; then the comedian seeks to join EU, yet EU currency isn't USD, it is Euro
03:30 MinceR; maybe because the ukrainian pipeline goes to hungary, not germany
03:30 activelow; and the Russian currence to conduct russian gas business with, is Rubles, not Dollars...
03:30 MinceR; and the hungarian government doesn't mind global warming
03:30 MinceR; and neither does it mind being dependent on the orcs for absolutely everything
03:31 activelow; remember this? a few weeks before Iraq war rumors were Saddam planned to switch USD against Euro... little later there was boots on the ground in Iraq again, 2004
03:31 XRevan86; activelow: Ukraine doesn't want to harm the state that help them, so they have an incentive to keep the pipeline going.
03:31 MinceR; remember this? [random whataboutism straight from putler's state media]
03:31 XRevan86; But there was one thing: Ukraine officially doesn't take responsibility for the parts of the pipeline on the territory that Russia occupies.
03:32 DaemonFC; <chicksahoy> DaemonFC: im glad you got some money out of them

06:03 DaemonFC; "Yeah, thats because of the way the algorithms work. Basically, if one issuer sees that another issuer is willing to give you a higher CL, then the new issuer will be more likely to trust you enough to give you a CL if the first issuer trusts you enough to do it. They also probably try to use this as a tactic to make you convert to them over Discover. As long as your on-time payment history is good and the algorithm feels that there
06:03 DaemonFC; s a good chance you wont become delinquent, a new issuer will more often than not give you a higher CLI than you current issuer, even if it approaches your yearly income. Years ago I had a card give me $20,000 even though it exceeded my annual income lol."
06:03 DaemonFC; Probably explains why the banks gave me such high limites the last time.
06:04 DaemonFC; XRevan86, I enjoyed the story about the Russian man who rewrote the terms of the credit card offer to no minimum payment, 0% interest, and an unlimited credit line.
06:05 DaemonFC; The bank didn't read it, and the court ruled he didn't have to pay any of his debt to the bank.

12:20 TR Bot; vid.puffyan.us | Brita LongLast 6 Month Water Filter COMPARED Brita Standard 2 Month Water Filter WHAT IS DIFFERENT? - Invidious
12:21 DaemonFC; I decided to pick up some of the long last ones. I'll probably write about what I find.
12:21 DaemonFC; According to Brita, it's 6 months, but what they also say is "or 120 gallons". The standard ones say 2 months "or 40 gallons".
12:22 DaemonFC; We go through water way faster than 40 gallons every 2 months. So I usually just change the standard cartridge every month or so.
12:23 DaemonFC; The ion exchange resin eventually gets spent and the filter doesn't do a great job anymore.
12:23 DaemonFC; The most important point about water is getting it in you, and that's hard to do if it tastes bad.
12:24 matey; <XRevan86> They lie and fabricate, when they're stretching the truth that already feels like an accomplishment.
12:25 matey; <XRevan86> And of course there's literally no accountability
12:25 DaemonFC; It's hard to come up with a quantifiable method of filter replacement advice. About all you can do is take the average tap water and base the manufacturer recommendations on that, but everyone has different problems with their water. Even within the county I live in, different municipal systems have better or worse tap water.
12:25 matey; sounds familiar
12:26 DaemonFC; In Fox Lake, you're lucky to get 10 gallons out of a "lead removal" rated filter before it clogs up entirely, but in Waukegan you can easily do at least 80 gallons. That was my experience when Great Value still made them, anyway.
12:26 DaemonFC; I'll be very surprised if the Brita Long Last filter actually gets anywhere near 120 gallons before I can't stand the flow rate anymore.
12:27 TR News; "Wikidot (and by extension the SCP Wiki) is down until Monday." gemini://station.martinrue.com/
12:27 DaemonFC; So far, nothing that filters over 95% of lead as stated by NSF standard 52 lasts more than about 80 or 90 gallons with Lake Michigan as the municipal water source.
12:28 DaemonFC; The standard Brita filters can easily go on for a very long time without clogging, so unless you set your phone to remind you to change them out, you won't remember to.
12:29 DaemonFC; I switched to the standard Brita from the Great Value Lead Removal filter because Walmart got out of the water filter business, and Brita actually has patents to make their filters flow well anyway. When I tried using Walmart's standard Brita compatible cartridges, I ended up taking them back to the store.

12:30 DaemonFC; 1. They had a terrible problem with (air pocket) clogging and 2. They made the tap water taste even worse than it did coming out of the faucet.
12:30 DaemonFC; It's hard getting decent results out of a gravity-fed water filter system.
12:31 DaemonFC; Either you accept mediocre filtration ability to get a better flow rate, or you accept that it's going to take a long time to filter the water to get more stuff out.
12:31 DaemonFC; I've been drinking water out of a Brita system since the 1990s when they were the latest fad appliance.
12:32 DaemonFC; So anywhere I go that I don't have one at hand, I usually am disgusted by the taste of the tap. At the same time, Walmart does have those "water island" machines.
12:33 DaemonFC; The problem with those is you don't know what the servicing schedule is like. When California investigated, they found that many were so poorly maintained that they were actually dangerous to get water from. The water going in met EPA standards at least, but the water coming out had problems such as coliform bacteria that would have violated had it happened at the treatment plant.

18:02 TR Bot; New 60 Days with the Gypsies 2022 - Invidious
18:07 matey; theres definitely more than one group lumped under the exonym "gypsy"
18:07 matey; some are travellers by lifestyle, and dont want to give that up, while others are happy to but find it hard to find a place where they arent treated like shit, so they keep moving
18:07 matey; its always made to be about the law, which dfc is fond of leaning on
18:08 matey; but the laws are applied disproportionally to them
18:08 matey; so many places have created laws against discrimination that are poorly written
18:09 matey; but there seems to be almost nothing in the way of anti-discrimination that helps these people
18:09 matey; if nothing else it shows that such legislation is mostly for convenience and opportunism
18:09 matey; its got less to do with ending discrimination
18:10 matey; either way, you dont need this to know that europe is becoming more right wing
18:10 matey; i dont think the fake left is helping
18:11 matey; however, some of the initiatives to create legal parking areas (permanent sites) for travellers are obviously helpful
18:12 psydroid2; they are becoming more right wing even against other (white) europeans

18:22 matey; an important word, but sometimes it can be a bit magical and mythological
18:23 matey; i mean you should have a right to defend the area around you-- im not against that
18:23 matey; just that it never seems to work out that way for everyone
18:24 matey; some people end up with more right to defend themselves than others

19:30 TR Bot; Consumers defy inflation to support economy. For how long? | WGN-TV
19:30 DaemonFC; I commented.
19:30 DaemonFC; "Washington (AP) - Three heroic consumers braved the burning wreckage of the Biden economy today to support the American way of living. Between all of them, they could afford three gallons of gas and a day's worth of groceries. Their combined income was $200,000 a year, which in the past 12 months has been reduced to $20,000.
19:30 DaemonFC; When reached for comment about the ordeal, Elon Musk accused all three of them of just not wanting to work hard enough and said that he'd vote for Donald Trump to come back and pass more trade amendments to allow Tesla to flee to China without consequence."
19:30 activelow; ... nice, no need for switching keyboard layout anymore for this, F1..F4 remapped to the regular codepoints to be happy with Vim
19:33 activelow; not sure yet, if and how to cope with cyrillic, for this i need a cyrillic labeled keyboard, won't memorize three different layouts (de, us, ru) without a correctly labeled keyboard
19:33 activelow; and mathematical expression... yet those are context sensitive and an sqrt/sin/tan etc. expand differently depending on context
19:34 activelow; with C language the unicode glyphs are useless of cause, and sqrt should expand to the corresponding math.h function name at least
19:34 activelow; within TeX typesetting context sqrt had to expand to the unicode glyph
19:35 DaemonFC; schestowitz, Mom said she found something bizarre at "Dollar Tree".
19:35 DaemonFC; Previously, everything in the store cost $1, hence the name.
19:35 DaemonFC; When I used to shop there 17-18 years ago, you could actually get some decent stuff for $1.
19:35 DaemonFC; In fact, I even went there to get multi-packs of soap and high quality scented candles.
19:36 activelow; and keyboards are missing the labeled keys for mathematical expressions anyway; i had wanted a Ti89 style numpad
19:36 DaemonFC; But then as the years went by, they shrank the size and quantity of things, and then skimped on quality too. You could buy trash bags, but as soon as you threw anything in them, they'd tear and you lost them all. So I stopped shopping there.
19:37 DaemonFC; A couple days ago, mom went in after they rebranded to Dollar Tree Plus.
19:38 DaemonFC; She went to find a broom, and the broom was $1.25. But it was one of those little brooms that you have to get down on hands and knees to use, like if you broke a glass or something and needed to make sure you swept it all up, or a small mess. So she asked the worker there where the full sized brooms were.
19:38 activelow; instead, what have we got, instead of an opensource texas instruments firmware?
19:38 DaemonFC; It turns out that you could buy a handle that twisted into the small broom to make it a full sized broom, for another $1.25. And while they used to have a full sized broom, with a full sized handle, with a dustpan included, now you have to buy the dustpan, for $1.25.
19:39 DaemonFC; So the set that cost $1 5 years ago is now $3.75 if you want a full sized broom and a dustpan.
19:40 DaemonFC; I told her last time I was in there was years ago, and they had "$1 ribeye steaks, frozen" and I said "I don't even want to know what's in that.".
19:40 DaemonFC; Well, fortunately, there's the Internet, so other people bought them and reviewed it. It's as nasty as you'd suspect.
19:41 DaemonFC; I told mom that inflation whittled away the cheap dollar store a long time ago. I used to shop there even when I worked at Walmart because you could get things like a 4 pack of full sized bath soaps at the Dollar Tree for $1. Now they're 2 travel sized bars and they want $1.25 for it.
19:43 DaemonFC; So really you pay triple for the same volume of bath soap, and by this point, you're better off going to Walmart and getting a 8 pack of full sized bars for $3.98.
19:44 DaemonFC; About the only way the Dollar Tree math works out in your favor anymore is if you need a bar of soap today, right now, Dollar Tree is right there, Walmart is on the other side of town, and gas costs $5.15 because Biden, and you just can't get by until your normal shopping day because you forgot to buy soap.
19:46 MinceR; 22 171914 < activelow> what a joke, a liberal politician in german parliament shouted: "1 and 1 is 1 and not 3"...
19:46 DaemonFC; "We printed up 35% of the previous total of all Dollars in circulation. The oil companies want the same inflation-adjusted profits as before. Putin's war in Ukraine is the entire reason for the gas prices." -Politicians
19:46 MinceR; i guess not many people know bitwise logical operations
19:47 MinceR; 22 180059 < activelow> it is almost an act of sabotage, how brackets are mapped with german keyboard layout

21:52 mjg59_; MinceR: Certificate transparency makes it easy to identify any CAs that are mis-issuing certificates
21:53 MinceR; how?
21:53 activelow; however, an 8bit 256 color palette too suffices, sixels for example, and visual quality is still good... yet, various drm gpu drivers do not support 8bi
21:53 mjg59_; You see that a certificate for your domain was issued without you requesting it
21:53 activelow; 8bit
21:53 MinceR; as a user, how do i find out whether the certificate my bank's website shows me was issued by a CA that mis-issues certificates?
21:54 mjg59_; MinceR: Oh, you rely on your bank having their shit together
21:54 mjg59_; I mean, they're your bank, you're relying on them making good decisions in a bunch of ways
21:54 MinceR; yeah, but that would mean my bank handing me a device with their cert on it
21:54 MinceR; which none of them do
21:55 mjg59_; No, your bank detects it and immediately gets it revoked
21:55 MinceR; and in the easy case -- if i find out someone issue a cert for my domain without my requesting it, what can i do about that?
21:55 schestowitz_TR2; a lot og banking should not be done "online" anyway
21:55 mjg59_; Or the entire CA gets their trust revoked
21:55 schestowitz_TR2; it has led to far too much fraud
21:55 schestowitz_TR2; and now so many annoying "checks" that it doesn't even save much time
21:55 MinceR; schestowitz_TR2: a visit to an OTP office would quickly change your mind about that

21:58 activelow; didn't mean to interrupt; anyway, if the entire system includign framebuffer was limited to 8bit color palette, this reduced required memory bandwidth accordingly
21:59 activelow; however, the industry pushed for their GPU/DRM with 32bit, this alone slowed down processing ~75%
21:59 MinceR; 24bit and 32bit color is a lot nicer to look at
21:59 activelow; and the mali gpu for example, doesn't support 8bit, not yet...
21:59 MinceR; also works better with photos and video
22:00 activelow; obviously not, with 16bit there isn't any noticable difference at all
22:00 activelow; and with 8bit high quality photos look very good still
22:00 MinceR; that is, _you_ can't notice the difference
22:00 activelow; was surprised myself, 8bit color palette suffices, although with 8bit visual quality is slightly degrade, barely noticable
22:00 MinceR; and high quality photos need the right palette and dithering to look even passable in an 8bit mode
22:01 activelow; i converted various photos for testing into sixels, 8bit color palette, with very good visual quality
22:01 MinceR; even in 24bit true color, a grayscale transition won't look perfectly smooth without dithering
22:01 MinceR; (and afaik 32bit is just +8 bits of alpha or padding)
22:02 activelow; yes, 32bit contains the alpha channel
22:02 activelow; and with 8bit, a conversion into 256-greyscale is possible...
22:02 MinceR; (or maybe something like a z-buffer)
22:02 activelow; meaning, there is absolutely no need for any higher color depth than 8bit per pixel
22:03 MinceR; there is a need for it
22:03 activelow; and this would be 3x or 4x as fast often
22:03 MinceR; just generate a plain gradient from #000000 to #ffffff with a length of 1000 pixels and observe
22:03 activelow; sure, although i am not looking at gradients, i am looking at photos
22:04 activelow; and the problem isn't 16/24/32bit, problem is 8bit mode is missing
22:04 MinceR; the gradients demonstrate that not every color you can distinguish can be represented in true color
22:07 activelow; 8bit color palette has another benefit, which is i am using yaft+dvtm, and yaft allocates a separate pixel buffer
22:08 activelow; which is 64MiB RAM with 32bit per pixel, with 16bit it is roughly 32MiB... and guess what, with 8bit a FullHD pixel buffer would require ~16MiB only
22:10 activelow; visual quality is very good nonetheless, framebuffer requires 75% less memory bandwidth etc.
22:11 activelow; i think the raspberry can provide 8bit framebuffer, the rockchip with mali graphics cannot, not yet, i'll see to if i can hack it into
22:12 activelow; and then, see again, what ffmpeg-sixel or mplayer/sdl-sixel could do
22:13 activelow; tmux is known to tweak scrolling and terminal line buffer, meaning if alot of data arrives lines could be skipped
22:15 activelow; which is, a problematic design, and yaft/dvtm don't do this, gladly; already tweaked yaft to improve performance, which is with 16bit framebuffer and some other tweaks to buffer sizes it's 4x faster already
22:18 activelow; yaft is neat, it extends linux (and too netbsd/openbsd/freebsd) console framebuffer, with extended unicode support and sixels
22:18 activelow; i think, some yaft features could be moved into linux kernel, which would improve performance of it further
22:21 activelow; besides X11/wayland the real alternative is... yaft+dvtm... which are almost ready for production use

22:21 TR Bot; The science says that ZeroWater is not worth the money or hype. Brita is among the best countertop models. BaronHK's Rants
22:21 DaemonFC; "Amusingly, my mom bought a ZeroWater and ended up switching to Brita later when she complained about what it was costing her and asked what I recommended instead.
22:21 DaemonFC; The stupid TDS meter was saying the filter was unacceptable about every 10 gallons or so, but that was if you could even get the ZeroWater to filter 10 gallons. More often, she had them plug up on her Indiana tap water and couldnt even get half of the manufacturers stated life expectancy out of the filter.
22:21 DaemonFC; At that point youre paying between $1 and $1.50 per gallon of filtered water before the stupid ZeroWater is totally crapped up and useless.
22:21 DaemonFC; This amounts to roughly 10 or 15 times the cost of Brita.
22:21 DaemonFC; And when you consider that each person in your house uses about a gallon of water per day for drinking and cooking, you can see what the problem with that is.
22:21 DaemonFC; All of a sudden, the Brita is costing you about $3 per person/per month, whereas the stupid ZeroWater system could cost you $45 per person/per month."
22:23 DaemonFC; "So the price of the starter kit is the camel's nose in the tent, and the ZeroWater cartridges are the rest of the camel."

23:21 DaemonFC; Yes, I froze about 200 and some pounds of chicken breasts and thighs.
23:21 DaemonFC; By weight, that's the meat off of over 50 chickens.
23:23 DaemonFC; schestowitz, The deep freeze gives me some more options. Like waiting for a quarter where grocery stores are 5% on the Capital One card and then quickly going over to Aldi or Jewel and buying up all of their store brand chicken instead of dealing with this Walmart bullshit where the only thing they stock anymore are the expensive chickens.
23:25 schestowitz_TR2; this month we saw whole chickens sold for one pound
23:25 schestowitz_TR2; that's like 1.2 dollars, I think
23:26 DaemonFC; Walmart seems to have told their suppliers to stop giving them the chicken they normally sell for $2.69 and $2.99 a pound (thighs and breasts) and start only packaging the expensive national brands that cost $7-9 a pound instead.
23:26 schestowitz_TR2; these are things you can stuff in an oven
23:26 DaemonFC; So if you get your chicken at Walmart, the implication is that it's going to be a major drag on your grocery bill.
23:26 schestowitz_TR2; so expiry date is not a big issue
23:27 DaemonFC; Walmart has made sure that the people who suffer from the chicken shortage are the people who normally buy the store brand chicken because they need to save money.
