00:06 DaemonFC; Firefox has so much malware in it that it's hard to get it to stop connecting to Google no matter how many things you think you blocked.
00:13 DaemonFC; Also, Matt GULAG....Since I know you read this. The native AAC encoder in ffmpeg is a joke. It's based on LAME and they never optimized it to remove the assumption that you have to noise filter the shift from the PQMF subband time domain layer to the modified MDCT.
00:14 DaemonFC; They just "declared it stable".
00:14 DaemonFC; Because it can "write bitstream valid files".
00:14 DaemonFC; Even old AAC encoder binaries from Winamp do better than this.
00:17 DaemonFC; I'm going to do a spectrographic analysis between fhgaac and fdkaac (which is open source) to see if there's much difference and run encoding speed benchmarks.
00:18 DaemonFC; Looks like foobar2000 2.0 has a FDK-AAC encoder option, which is nice. I built one of my own at one point.
00:19 DaemonFC; FhG uses weird terminology, like "Afterburner" instead of "two pass encoding".

00:21 *Opus (~Opus@cu5hmj7kxp65y.irc) has joined #techrights
00:21 *Opus has quit (Quit: Ryan, Opus for lossy, flac for lossless. You won't get that much better compression with WavPack and it isn't supported as much as flac which is a defacto standard at this point. You'll find a hell of a lot more flac torrents than wavpack ones. Why don't you just use Windows?)
00:23 TR News; "Today in the USA, it is easy for women to wear pants and still appear feminine, as opposed to 200 years ago." gemini://gem.librehacker.com/gemlog/your-word/20230823-0.gmi
00:23 MinceR; and there it is
00:24 MinceR; why encourage the MICROS~1 drone anyway?
00:25 DaemonFC; WavPack Extra High x6 is basically the maximum compression in WavPack. It's approximately ~600-750 KB smaller per file than FLAC and when you have tens of thousands of files, it does add up.
00:25 TR News; "I've seen and read discourse on economic, social and environmental stewardship for many years, but I first came across the term "degrowth" on Gemini in 2021. As best I can tell, the term encapsulates the idea that growth, especially economic growth, is either unfavorable, unsustainable" gemini://jsreed5.org/log/2023/202308/20230823-degrowth.gmi
00:25 DaemonFC; Decode speed is still inherently fast.
00:25 DaemonFC; Android supports them.
00:26 DaemonFC; If you try to go past Flac -8, you won't do much better (maybe 50 KB per file) and it will slow the encoding speed down to 3-4x on 4 cores plus hyperthreading (8 processes) of an 11th gen i7.
00:26 DaemonFC; WavPack can do Extra High x6 at over 170x still.
00:26 DaemonFC; So it's totally realistic.
00:28 DaemonFC; AAC is as widely supported as MP3 and fixes the two worst defects, which were sfb21 and the hybrid filterbank.
00:29 DaemonFC; The encoding quality varies wildly between different AAC encoders, even between FhG.
00:29 DaemonFC; Already it's pretty obvious they did more work in the FDK branch since licensing that old codec to Winamp in the 2000s.
00:30 DaemonFC; Almost all of the profiles other than LC-AAC are irrelevant to a user with a music collection on the computer.
00:30 DaemonFC; And LC-AAC has no active patents.
00:31 DaemonFC; I really ought to see if Packman ffmpeg has fdkaac.
00:31 DaemonFC; RPM Fusion's didn't.

00:48 DaemonFC; It isn't a crime to point out that a Tor developer and their "partner" are misusing the network as part of a sustained and illegal attack on a Web server.
00:48 DaemonFC; It's also not illegal to shame them and suggest that donors might read what their own developers do with the thing and stop giving money.
00:50 DaemonFC; It's not a good look to say Tor is for dissidents and freedom fighters, and then mostly it's child pornographers and people attacking Web servers, and spammers.
00:50 DaemonFC; But it is true.
00:51 DaemonFC; There are reasons why more of the Web is inaccessible to Tor and it's because there's no mechanism to separate the people who want to use it for good (5-10%) from the people who want to commit felonies with it.
00:51 DaemonFC; It essentially, actually, operates as software for people who want to commit felonies.

00:53 TR Bot; ( status 520 @ https://www.digitalmusicnews.com/2023/08/22/security-guard-taylor-swift-viral-fired/ )
00:54 DaemonFC; It's very unfortunate that there's basically no way to separate the criminals from the people who just want to be left alone.
00:54 DaemonFC; But that's the case. So most Web sites just shut ALL Tor users out.
00:55 DaemonFC; FWIW, a lot of the people using Tor to commit felonies are being stupid.
00:55 DaemonFC; Tor Browser and the network are nowhere near safe enough to actually bet your life on.
00:55 schestowitz; as they cannot distinguish between the home networks of Tor staff (criminal activity) and dissidents
00:55 DaemonFC; And a lot of what they do is SO ILLEGAL that you would basically be ruined.
00:56 schestowitz; it's really bad optics when crimes are committed from the home network of core tor people
00:56 DaemonFC; That's why some laws are so tough.
00:56 schestowitz; and serves to feed the narrative that tor is being developed to commit crimes
00:56 schestowitz; including mass defamation

01:05 schestowitz; schestowitz.com was mostly done 20 years ago
01:05 DaemonFC; Yes, SeaMonkey is basically a chimera of a Firefox 52 base with backports and security updates.
01:05 schestowitz; even very 'primitive' browsers work with it
01:06 DaemonFC; So it's really not accurate to say it's any official version of Gecko at the rendering engine because it's not.
01:06 DaemonFC; You just have to shoot for a UA that sites won't break themselves with if they see it.
01:06 schestowitz; DaemonFC: a lot of security would just mean disabling "modern" features [sic

03:02 DaemonFC; I started out on non-Microsoft Office suites because I needed one for school.
03:02 DaemonFC; I had no money because I was a kid.
03:03 DaemonFC; I didn't want to ask my mom and dad.
03:03 DaemonFC; And then at Staples there was a boxed set of StarOffice!
03:03 IPFS; IPFS local node stats (bandwidth since last reset) calculated.
03:03 DaemonFC; I asked them to ring it up and tell me how much it cost because there was no price tag on it. The computer came up with "$0.01".
03:04 DaemonFC; And I asked them if that was a mistake or they'd really sell it to me for one penny.
03:04 DaemonFC; And they said "If that's what it says we'll sell it to you, but yeah we need to fix that."
03:04 DaemonFC; So I handed them a penny.

03:05 TR Bot; WinWorld: StarOffice 5.x
03:05 psydruid; the last versions of Microsoft Windows/Office used at home were 2000/XP
03:05 DaemonFC; I had the 5.2 version in the box, for a penny.
03:06 DaemonFC; StarOffice 5.2 worked on my "special" IE-less Windows 98.
03:06 psydruid; I'm not sure but I think it was bundled with SuSE too
03:06 DaemonFC; Office 97 wouldn't because it demanded to install IE anyway if it wasn't already there, because Microsoft loaded Trident gratuitously.
03:07 DaemonFC; There was a web browser in the StarOffice 5.2.
03:07 DaemonFC; It did use IE. It was totally functionless on my computer because IE's rendering engine was not there.
03:07 DaemonFC; But that was the only thing that didn't work and honestly, why was it even there?
03:07 MinceR; > it doesn't even have working docx filters.
03:07 MinceR; nothing does
03:08 DaemonFC; The database, word processor, spreadsheet, and presentation programs worked.
03:08 MinceR; that's the whole point of docx
03:10 DaemonFC; The LibreOffice codebase goes back to OOo and StarOffice, and StarOffice has been around long enough to have had releases on CP/M.
03:12 DaemonFC; Sun bought StarDivision because it was cheaper to acquire an entire company than buy Microsoft Office licenses. Also, they had their Solaris customers to consider. MS Office didn't have a Solaris port and even if Microsoft ported it, they're an extremely rapacious and unreliable partner.
03:12 DaemonFC; So you'd still end up with nothing to offer your customers at some point.
03:13 DaemonFC; Making business agreements with Microsoft and Google always gets you burned.
03:13 DaemonFC; Mozilla is destroying itself, and this is just yet another way.
03:13 DaemonFC; IBM/Red Hat too.

03:33 schestowitz; because clownflare decided this address is "bot"
03:33 schestowitz; hen the site opens

06:23 DaemonFC; Also, Matt, you should stop being dependent on welfare from Microsoft for implementing their Linux lockout code instead of criticizing me for playing with a few trivial Windows applications in Wine, when I also know how to use parallel and ffmpeg. The few applications I do use do not automatically update themselves or prevent me from going back and using a version I liked better, and they...
06:23 DaemonFC; ...don't put data in formats I can't use anywhere else.
06:23 DaemonFC; Obviously they're not paying you enough if you can't hire out to get some plumbing fixed.
06:25 DaemonFC; I can see why your life went so wrong at exactly the moment they started laying tens of thousands of their own official employees off though. It sounds like it's getting bad in there and worse for their vassals.
06:26 DaemonFC; I might think about you in the hot, hot, running shower, while I waste time shaving in there. Not in a sexual way though. Ewww, gross. I'd probably get an STD from THAT. No, it's about me having water and you not having water. hahahahaha
06:28 DaemonFC; Perhaps some of the Guatemalan immigrants that Governor Abbott is sending to California this week knows something about plumbing.

09:30 DaemonFC; Enterprise was just going to be a paid support version.
09:30 DaemonFC; If they want to sell support, that's fine.
09:30 DaemonFC; But they can already do that without separating them out to where only branding is different.
09:31 DaemonFC; From one angle, I get the Flatpak thing. You could use it to roll out the latest version to RHEL.
09:31 DaemonFC; But you can do that with the upstream RPMs.
09:31 DaemonFC; So if you're going to us RHEL or a clone, that's the better option.

10:18 DaemonFC; As a user.
10:18 schestowitz; yes, worked ok across machines and envs
10:18 schestowitz; sometimes it looked uglier
10:19 schestowitz; remember the days when qt looked ugly in gnome and gtk did not look right in kde?
10:19 schestowitz; i still have screenshots to "prove" it
10:19 schestowitz; sdl was always ugly

10:22 DaemonFC; I keep a dark Plasma theme, but light application theme.

10:22 DaemonFC; SeaMonkey doesn't even like Adwaita-Dark, and that's built-in!
10:23 DaemonFC; To GTK, that is.
10:23 schestowitz; plasma is, in essense, a qt application

13:54 schestowitz; they say "python" now, but it's BS
13:55 schestowitz; because libvreoffice/openoffice did that over a decade ago
13:55 schestowitz; they copycat and hijack the word "python"
13:55 schestowitz; this was discussed in another channel
13:55 schestowitz; we found 4+ 'articles'
13:55 schestowitz; "excel"... "python"
13:55 psydruid; I have the idea that it's just about vendor lock-in and user preference a.k.a. learning at school
13:56 psydruid; and no inherent qualities of the software
13:56 schestowitz; right
13:56 psydruid; as in why would you abuse a spreadsheet to do elaborate calculations on important data?
13:56 psydruid; and mail them around as part of business processes
13:57 psydruid; that looks like a completely broken business practice to me
13:57 psydruid; even when nominally hosted on "sharepoint"
13:59 psydruid; when I rewrote a piece of software from LibreOffice Basic in C++ it was at least 60 times faster
14:01 psydruid; I wrote it in Basic first because I didn't understand the requirements of the software at first (for a friend) and he wanted to be able to give feedback while using it, so it was more like a prototype
14:05 MichaelWarn; c++ sucks
14:05 MinceR; 24 145317 <+psydruid> What is Microsoft Excel supposedly so good at that you can't do with LibreOffice Calc or some other software?
14:05 MinceR; covering half the screen with a ribbon so you can't see your spreadsheet
14:05 MinceR; also, giving wrong answers to certain functions and displaying some cell values incorrectly
14:06 MichaelWarn; what's LO so good at that you can't do with vi, c and lua?
14:06 schestowitz; Resppsucking up 500mb of RAM
14:06 schestowitz; and taking ages to start
14:06 schestowitz; unless you let it "preload{" libs each time you reboot
14:06 schestowitz; and then occupy like another GB of RAM
14:06 MinceR; using semicolons as a separator in files that are supposed to be comma separated
14:07 MichaelWarn; project of the day github.com/darkk/redsocks
14:08 MichaelWarn; it's great, because, it can socksify any client without LD_PRELOAD
14:08 MichaelWarn; on linux
14:08 MichaelWarn; so you can statically compile/link any irc-client such as catgirl, and socksify it with redsocks proxy into onion routing, or any other socks
14:09 MichaelWarn; darkk.net.ru
14:09 MichaelWarn; lol
14:09 MichaelWarn; i want to move all that back down to linux-2.4, tcc-compiler
14:09 MinceR; why would i want to statically link an irc client
14:10 MinceR; am i trying to waste disk space, memory or just to make it more difficult to update libraries?
14:10 MichaelWarn; ll /usr/bin/catgirl
14:10 MichaelWarn; thats' 512KiB
14:10 MichaelWarn; statically linked
14:11 psydruid; on aggilinux?
14:11 MichaelWarn; fits into L2 cache, for maximum I/O
14:11 MinceR; until you have something else running
14:11 MinceR; with static linking, your library can be evicted from the cache for another copy of the same library linked to another program
14:12 MichaelWarn; there's only one linux, and that's any version up until v2.4

14:40 psydruid; open source is well and alive at IBM ... in name only
14:43 MichaelWarn; problem is, with linux-2.4, USB and ACPI support, in conjunction
14:44 MichaelWarn; they screwed and fucked up all this, 20 years ago already, beyond repair
14:44 MichaelWarn; including compiler support
14:44 MinceR; open source is doing for dehomag what the suits intended open source to do
14:44 MichaelWarn; i tend to think, RMS made sure, it's a GNU/IBM/Intel only party for them, with "linux", since v2.4
14:45 MinceR; it facilitates exploitation of free software
14:46 MichaelWarn; that's why, i distrust, RMS, because he _must_ have known, rms isn't that stupid, that he couldn't have known
14:46 MichaelWarn; but he was jetsetting around the globe, "hey see, this is 'free software' for ya"
14:47 MichaelWarn; as if this hadn't been bad enough already, 20 years ago, they had blown up kernel and compiler dozens of millions of lines of code with useless junk
14:47 MichaelWarn; to support proprietary malice of all sorts
14:48 MichaelWarn; including UEFI since recently
14:49 MichaelWarn; recent news was, "german" government wants to subsidize an Intel/IBM/Shitsoft employee 3millions each, because that's the "highly skilled staff" they want to attract to come here
14:49 MichaelWarn; while i wished, i had a gun
14:50 MichaelWarn; yesterday, "german" government decided, to simplify immigration to grant passports to them
14:50 MichaelWarn; even permitting them dual-citizenship
14:51 MichaelWarn; while i myself, was stripped of _mine_, without being asked, blessed with two currency-reforms/expropriations since 1990 already
14:51 MichaelWarn; and batshit insane inflation since recently
14:51 MichaelWarn; to subsidize all this IBM/Wintel cancerous junk
14:52 MichaelWarn; because, that's a "free market economy" to them, being subsidized with 3 million shitcoins each, while their competition receives NOTHING
14:52 MichaelWarn; schestowitz: if i could, i would blow them all up with nukes
14:54 MichaelWarn; i got all, names, dates, places...
14:54 MichaelWarn; and if they ask "why"... next one, enjoy
14:56 MichaelWarn; TSMC wants to join in, in my homeland
14:56 MichaelWarn; i'm just curious, what ya want there
14:57 MichaelWarn; had the 65nm manfuctuaring been that bad?
14:57 MichaelWarn; now they want to fuck you with 7nm propietary cancer
14:57 MichaelWarn; doesn't make any difference
14:58 MichaelWarn; thing is, i should have studied nuclear physics, instead of telecom and maths
14:59 MichaelWarn; but international finance bolshevist regime had to make sure, the most powerful nuclear force globally - that was east-germany - had to be dismantled first

15:00 psydruid; is this #techpol now?
15:00 MichaelWarn; F-35, intel, and all this crap
15:00 MinceR; apparently
15:00 MichaelWarn; #techterror
15:02 MichaelWarn; yesterday, in saxony, some 16year old boy, grabbed a knive, and stabbed an 8year old girl
15:03 MichaelWarn; there was a red live-ticker for a minute or two, then they decided, to not elaborate on this any further
15:03 MichaelWarn; ludicrous
15:03 MichaelWarn; no clue, what this is
15:03 MichaelWarn; but there seems some, being really mad
15:04 MichaelWarn; the Intel/F-35 deals, was call for terror
15:05 MichaelWarn; it's not as if they intended to hire me, but if they tried, i would walk straight into their office building with an explosive belt
15:05 MichaelWarn; to blow up all this fuckers to the moon
15:06 MichaelWarn; in a few weeks, or whenever, they'll begin constructing the Fabs
15:07 MichaelWarn; on tv they explained, "this isn't intended for employment, it's for resilience against [china|...]"
15:07 MichaelWarn; ludicrous
15:07 MichaelWarn; because, then, that's the guests to welcome, TSMC and Intel and whoever
15:08 MichaelWarn; to remind you, those finance bolshevist mass murderous killed ME
15:08 MichaelWarn; i didn't offend them in any way ever
15:08 MichaelWarn; but their greed, stupidity and arrogance, up to Mars
15:09 MichaelWarn; they have no idea
15:09 MichaelWarn; if i could as i had to
15:09 MichaelWarn; they're selling it as "climate" policy here
15:10 MichaelWarn; re-routing cash, at $88/gallon gas, into the pockets of them, and their "innovation fund"

15:20 MichaelWarn; hence, i finally closed my project maps, March 2023
15:20 MichaelWarn; anything happened? of cause not
15:20 MichaelWarn; they just had to dump another few dozen of billions of shitcoins of theirs
15:21 MichaelWarn; ridiculous... got it?
15:21 MichaelWarn; that's no coincidence, i close my files, they have to dump dozens of billions, and it's not enough still
15:21 MichaelWarn; i got no newspapers to orchestrate any campaign, i got no MEPs sponsored, nothing
15:22 MichaelWarn; i got no friends, no family, no office, no business, i got NOTHING
15:22 MichaelWarn; and i see hitting nukes, "democrat" alliance90 headquarters
15:23 MichaelWarn; who were the ones to call for escalation, in Ukraine, not that it matters
15:23 MichaelWarn; but they want it that way
15:23 MichaelWarn; i may not have any friends there, no need to, but they'll realize soon enough
15:24 MichaelWarn; once in a while, Medevedev pops out of his mole hole, "hey nukes", and disappears quickly
15:24 MichaelWarn; for all i know, that is, who my ENEMIES are
15:25 MichaelWarn; they're the worst mass murderous in human history
15:25 MichaelWarn; "democrats", "alliance90", "social" democrats... they got different brandings, for their ideas and ideals
15:26 MichaelWarn; three generations of mass murder, that's not enough for them, and their "social justice", and their "democratic values"
15:26 MichaelWarn; to cover up their crimes of ethnocide, they wiped almost the entire population of mine, finally since 1990
15:27 MichaelWarn; they knew it
15:27 MichaelWarn; if only one remained, and remembereed
15:27 MichaelWarn; the "social democrat" headquarter here, that's only a 5minute walk... but i had no idea how to pass their entrance with a knive
15:27 MichaelWarn; to stitch as many as possible
15:28 MichaelWarn; those mass murderers deserve 1946 Nurnberg style hanging, for what they did, in Ukraine, for this alone
15:28 MichaelWarn; i might add, the crimes comitted against me and my people, since 1990, east-germany, add up to the criminal record

23:30 DaemonFC; Telling them to think about what kind of people they want to associate with is not blackmail.
23:31 DaemonFC; A homophobe with extreme anti-immigrant sentiments (who is himself an immigrant who lives with a transgender person) is quite the contradiction you have going there though.
23:31 DaemonFC; You should consider your life and possibly check yourself in somewhere based on the behaviors I've seen.
23:33 DaemonFC; I doubt you would want to be associated with the things you've said about my spouse.
23:33 DaemonFC; Only a true degenerate goes into bathroom stalls to "get mah dick wet" while proclaiming the virtues of open cheating on their partner, to a married and faithful man.
23:35 DaemonFC; Most abusers find someone so broken that they'll put up with anything. And then they flaunt that they get away with bloody murder in public, to humiliate them.
23:36 DaemonFC; This is a form of codependence.
23:37 DaemonFC; Codependence is a behavioral condition in a relationship where one person enables another person's addiction, poor mental health, or other self-destructive behavior. The codependent person may feel responsible for the other person's well-being and may go to great lengths to control or rescue them.
23:37 DaemonFC; Codependent relationships are often characterized by:
23:37 DaemonFC; Low self-esteem
23:37 DaemonFC; A need to control others
23:37 DaemonFC; A fear of abandonment
23:37 DaemonFC; A focus on the needs of others and neglect of one's own needs
23:37 DaemonFC; Difficulty setting boundaries
23:38 DaemonFC; Difficulty expressing one's own emotions
23:38 DaemonFC; Codependency can be a difficult condition to overcome, but it is possible with professional help. There are many different types of therapy that can be helpful for codependency, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, 12-step programs, and individual or group therapy.
23:38 DaemonFC; If you are struggling with codependency, it is important to reach out for help. There are many resources available to you, and you do not have to go through this alone.
23:38 DaemonFC; Anyone who puts up with being openly cheated on has low self esteem and a fear of abandonment.
23:39 DaemonFC; They are also neglecting their own needs (a partner who will respect them and not expose them to diseases and public humiliation).
23:39 DaemonFC; They don't set boundaries (obviously).
23:40 DaemonFC; It is important to mention that you can "will yourself out of codependency" at any point.
23:40 DaemonFC; It's not your job to enable a really crummy person who cheats on you and airs their dirty laundry in public.
23:48 DaemonFC; schestowitz "Even if the problem of Microsoft was solved today, by Microsoft going out of business, wed be dealing with the Microsoft Office mess forever.
23:48 DaemonFC; Their products are hardly exceptional, so they have gone to hundreds of millions of dollars worth of dirty tricks and public and private corruption to spread Microsoft Office.
23:48 DaemonFC; The problem has only ever gotten more obscene. Generally, when people had binaries of Microsoft Office on their computer, they didnt want to pay $100 to update to a version that didnt do anything they needed. Since Microsoft couldnt justify (or may not have even been able to enforce it if they could) taking the binaries off your computer, they let you keep them, but they changed the...
23:48 DaemonFC; ...formats, so that as soon as anyone opened and saved them in the new version, everyone else had to upgrade because they would open it up in their version, which may only have been one release old, and they would get broken rendering.
23:48 DaemonFC; My dad even commented on this behavior in the 1990s, when he worked for Thomson Consumer Electronics. He said they had to update everything to Office 97 (which forced you to install Internet Explorer and destabilize your computer whether you wanted to or not), and I asked why, and he said Microsoft breaks the files as soon as anyone opens and saves them in the new format, so you have to...
23:48 DaemonFC; ...upgrade everyone and pay for licenses..
23:48 DaemonFC; Then that spilled over, and before you know it theres so many Office 97 files out there, theres no avoiding it, then the same thing with every version since then."
23:52 DaemonFC; Added: "The problem was widely known back then, but business managers killing the company, by wasting money on Microsoft products, didn't personally suffer from it at the time (although many eventually got canned as the company fell apart.....you don't need many of these people when you've transformed into a patent troll coasting on MP3)."
23:53 DaemonFC; "There were competing office suites, but few of them were any good, and even if they were, their compatibility with Microsoft was lacking. "
23:53 DaemonFC; "Today, we have an alternative. LibreOffice."
23:57 DaemonFC; AutoCAD had IRIX versions.
23:57 DaemonFC; At the time, that should have been the obvious choice.
