00:00 DaemonFC; Matthew Dubiel's entire campaign Web site blames China for almost everything bad that's happened to us and accuses Congress and Biden of being a thrall to China.
00:01 DaemonFC; He says he wants to rescind our trade agreements, ban Confucius Institutes in public universities, and solve the student loan problem by getting rid of government subsidized loans and grants for useless college degrees and redirecting the money to trade schools.
00:01 chicksahoy; DaemonFC: it is china's fault that everything has systemd in it
00:02 DaemonFC; He also blames them for causing COVID and lying about how bad things were getting in their own country with it. (True)
00:02 DaemonFC; He also blames Biden for buying $2 billion worth of Chinese face masks when we could have made them here. (Also true.)
00:03 DaemonFC; China has harmed us greatly. They're a parasite.
00:03 DaemonFC; They've committed crimes that we just haven't pursued them for regarding trade policies.
00:03 DaemonFC; Such as illegal dumping of cheap TV sets and other products into our markets, including steel and car tires, and lots of other things.

00:05 DaemonFC; Instead of paying someone to get a worthless college degree with $60,000 in debt so they have to get a job at Walmart anyway, why don't we teach them some skills?

00:07 DaemonFC; chicksahoy, I'd call myself a relatively moderate Republican. The (national) party has slipped too far to the right.
00:07 DaemonFC; In some of the states, reasonable people can still win. It's rare, but it's possible in some states.
00:08 DaemonFC; The Democrats are the party of free shit (vote buying), corruption, scandal, huge debts, and allowing China to walk all over us.
00:08 DaemonFC; So it's like, what do you even do?
00:08 MinceR; and the "republicans" are the party of idiocy and christian fundamentalism
00:08 DaemonFC; Either way, your country just gets destroyed in some other way.
00:09 DaemonFC; The best thing you can do is keep them too evenly matched to start passing things quickly.
00:09 DaemonFC; Keep them fighting. Slow them down.
00:09 DaemonFC; They have fights, you know.
00:09 chicksahoy; ok if you're not a bot then you're a troll
00:09 MinceR; oh, also, the party of rashism
00:09 DaemonFC; A lot of Nancy Pelosi's bills are still dying in the Senate.
00:10 DaemonFC; Like most of them should.
00:11 DaemonFC; MinceR, I liked how Dubiel responded to the question about whether Biden stole the election.
00:11 DaemonFC; He said there's no strong evidence for that, but it is hard to swallow that such an awful and weak politician got the most votes of any presidential candidate in history.
00:12 DaemonFC; I think Biden will be a one term president.
00:12 DaemonFC; It's Jimmy Carter all over again.
00:12 DaemonFC; People had too much of Nixon. They saw Ford as a corrupt extension of Nixon. They voted for Carter to get rid of the "Watergate" era, Carter fucked things up, and was gone after 4 years.
00:13 chicksahoy; because Trump was the worst president in history
00:13 DaemonFC; Yes, exactly.
00:13 DaemonFC; Biden is Carter 2.0, but people "voted for him" to purge Trump out of the system.
00:13 DaemonFC; That's why I voted for Biden.
00:13 DaemonFC; I don't like him. I like him less every day, to be honest.
00:13 chicksahoy; yeah i would rather vote for Bernie Sanders
00:14 chicksahoy; but im canadian
00:14 DaemonFC; This next election is the Republican Party's to lose.
00:14 DaemonFC; And you lose that by trotting Donald Trump himself out again.
00:14 DaemonFC; And the question is are they smart enough to realize that?
00:14 *techrights-ipfs-bot has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)
00:15 DaemonFC; Many Republicans are not that smart, and the only way Biden wins again is if Trump runs.
00:15 DaemonFC; So they may just throw it to Biden again, and so that's a possibility.
00:16 MinceR; if they were smart, there wouldn't be so many "republicans" pledging allegiance to former president Traffic Cone of Treason

04:30 activelow; another problem with gentoo i noticed: many components which i wanted disappeared from portage tree
04:30 MS; so you could script this?
04:31 activelow; dependency tracking? the complicated one gentoo does certainly not with shell script alone
04:31 MS; Edit /etc/apk/repositories file, run:
04:31 MS; vi /etc/apk/repositories
04:31 MS; Change the version number by hand. For example, Alpine 3.15 to 3.16
04:31 MS; Save and close the file
04:31 MS; Fetch latest index by running the
04:31 MS; apk update
04:31 MS; Upgrade all your Alpine Linux packages:
04:31 MS; apk upgrade --available && sync
04:31 MS; Reboot the system, run:
04:31 MS; reboot
04:32 activelow; alpine linux is good; however, i do need the dependency tracking from gentoo still
04:33 MS; the devs coulnt be bother to make an upgrade script
04:34 activelow; i am more conservative than alpine and openbsd
04:34 activelow; i won't accept clang or gcc an later version than 4.7 anymore

04:39 MS; maybe sruff wont run on latest cpus?
04:39 activelow; yes, hardware options are limited

06:10 AdmFubar; but will the spend the extra money on adding the proper circuitry to balance the batteries? https://techcrunch.com/2022/05/24/dyson-has-been-secretly-building-robots/
06:10 TR Bot; ( status 500 @ https://techcrunch.com/2022/05/24/dyson-has-been-secretly-building-robots/ )
06:11 activelow; mjg59_: i think BIOS is flawed conceptually, it duplicates kernel functionality, and i do not appreciate this design
06:12 activelow; digged into coreboot sources for a while myself, to improve support for some AMD phenom2 board/CPU ... never again, waste of time
06:13 activelow; as far as UEFI is concerned, it is conceptually flawed just as BIOS was
06:13 activelow; with some ARM SBC here uboot-loader is used, and there is some problems remaining with u-boot too
06:18 mjg59_; activelow: Right, so if they're both conceptually flawed, why do you reject one and accept the other?
06:19 mjg59_; The reason we generally don't just use U-Boot is that there's variation in platform design that the kernel is unaware of, and the firmware provides an abstraction
06:20 activelow; with u-boot loader UEFI simply wasn't required at all; and some technical details because i didn't want initrd and boot from read-only squashfs
06:21 activelow; linux kernel could identify MBR partitions _early_ during boot, and had some problem with GPT iirc which required an initrd iirc
06:22 activelow; i do not want any GRUB in between either, on x86/amd64 i kept isolinux/syslinux
06:27 mjg59_; Ok sure you can do that
06:27 mjg59_; Now how do you do suspend/resume?
06:27 mjg59_; How do you determine GPIO allocation?
06:30 mjg59_; Do you want to build a different kernel for every system you support?
06:32 activelow; gpio configuration is handled by uboot and device-trees; and yes, with ARM often separate firmware images must be assembled for different boards
06:33 mjg59_; The different firmware images is largely considered to be a bad thing
06:34 activelow; i invested some time and effort into scripting, to assemble firmware images for different ARM board variants, and amd64 besides
06:34 activelow; to keep this consistent and as simple as possible
06:35 activelow; otherwise, there is nothing remaining i could do myself, to cope with the vendor variant chaos

07:00 activelow; that's why i removed support for this from kernel, and some implementation exists for linux kernel independent from any BIOS support, for hibernation
07:01 activelow; which requires CONFIG_SWAP only and can persist an encrypted RAM dump
07:05 activelow; the problem with hibernation was, it's dangerous if swap-space is reactivated before a hibernate-restore
07:06 activelow; i did test this, and implemented an appropriate init procedure while ago, and it works as it should
07:08 activelow; however, since when i remove all sysvinit the boards boot very quickly, and i do not need any hibernation anymore, so i wiped all swap-support
07:09 activelow; CONFIG_SWAP with hibernation caused more headache (swap space not on flash memory) than hibernate-restore could benefit
07:10 activelow; so, i removed CONFIG_SWAP too

11:01 matey; you know, if you have a laptop and its stationary a lot-- like a desktop
11:02 matey; i REALLY dont know why more people dont put a small external fan aimed at theirs
11:02 matey; it only makes a difference of about 5-10c
11:04 matey; ive got it 15c cooler and its not even on the highest setting
11:06 matey; might even work with a regular desktop fan
11:06 activelow; mjg59_: sorry for the confusion, i want to keep linux kernel as minimal as possible
11:06 activelow; meaning, i want to wipe wireguard, nfs and the entire crypto-api
11:07 activelow; and i do not want to use openssh, while sys-fs/fuse requires sftp for a network filesystem
11:09 mjg59_; activelow: Keeping Linux as minimal as possible means reducing the hardware you support and reducing use-cases people care about
11:10 activelow; exactly, i want to keep a network filesystem option available, with encryption of the transport layer, without ipsec or wireguard
11:10 activelow; ipsec is awful, and wireguard requires alot of ram, and i think the kernel crypto-api got some other issues
11:11 activelow; anyway, dropbear-ssh(server-side) can use the sftp-server from openssh i read a moment ago
11:12 activelow; and on client side i only need to tell sys-fs/fuse to use dbclient instead of openssh-client... should be easier than backporting the ancient shfs kernel module (kernel version 2.6)
11:18 mjg59_; sshfs is fine from a security perspective for a single-user system, but you do need to consider what it looks like otherwise
11:18 activelow; nfs got issues too with multi-user, if nfs is not kerberized
11:20 mjg59_; Yeah if you're running stuff from 20 years ago it's bad
11:21 activelow; i had preferred to backport shfs for the sake of simplicity... however internal kernel APIs changed considerably, it is too much effort than i could handle, to at least test this
11:21 mjg59_; Code is hard, yeah
11:22 activelow; you're mocking me? i do hack C regularly, hence i do know how much effort it is.
11:24 mjg59_; I am, yup
11:25 MS; Code is software
11:26 MS; i bet activelow is gona hack hardwear next to fit its OS
11:26 MS; just like apple does
11:26 MS; only better
11:28 MS; i thin you can have any piece of hardware printed at some Chinese foundry cheap
11:28 MS; there a raspberry that costs 2$
11:29 MS; and is at least 2 orders of magnitude faster that my 1st computer
11:30 activelow; yes, that's one reason i try to minify and cleanup kernel and userspace
11:31 activelow; such as, an entire system can be maintained and developed 100% from source on a j-core turtle-board type system
11:31 activelow; which got 256MiB RAM for example, single core
11:31 MS; my 1st computer had 48k
11:32 activelow; interesting, surprisingly nowadays 1GiB of RAM are barely enough for most of "free software" and the GNOMEified GNU
11:32 MS; 256MiB is more then enough for tty apps
11:33 activelow; depends
11:33 activelow; for example, with dvtm terminal multiplexer, i can configure the exact size of scroll-buffers for each individual pty
11:33 activelow; and 256MiB fill up quickly
11:34 MS; you got storage it
11:34 activelow; for extended unicode support, on linux framebuffer console, i chose yaft, which allocates another pixel buffer
11:35 activelow; and a FullHD 32bit pixelbuffer alone eats another 64MiB of RAM, hence i would like to have back 8bit color palette framebuffer
11:35 activelow; which too, is much faster
11:37 MS; 16bit colour is good enough for terminals
11:37 activelow; 8bit is good enough almost everywhere everytime
11:37 MS; 8bit works too although a bit minimalistic
11:38 activelow; since i got back sixel support, i can assure you the picture quality of 256color palette is good, not perfect, it is good
11:39 MS; i bet you can have gifs playing alright
11:39 activelow; didn't try animated gifs yet
11:40 activelow; with suckless st terminal i already tested ffmpeg-sixel and mplayer1.4/libsdl1-sixel ... which showed promising results
11:40 activelow; on yaft framebuffer animated sixel output is screwed still

14:36 matey; selectively, otherwise rsync is probably best
14:37 matey; first, copy the filesystem
14:37 matey; then, deal with duplicates on the target-- remove most
14:37 matey; then figure out how many of the non-duplicates i want
14:37 activelow; surprisingly, a stable filesystem such as XFS seems to be under heavy development still... which i didn't expect, changelog of it against my stable kernel and HEAD is huge
14:38 activelow; i don't feel confident, with enterprise-class filesystems such as XFS seeing regular git-commits
14:38 matey; ive got a bunch of tools that help with this task
14:39 matey; including one that sorts groups of lines by size
14:39 matey; so if you have 3 dupes listed, a lone line, and 10 dupes together
14:39 matey; it will put the group of 10 at the bottom, the lone line on top, and the group of 3 lines in the middle
14:40 matey; they dont have to be identical, only grouped (two groups will have an empty line between them)

14:43 activelow; ideally, i could use nilfs2 only; yet, there is some problems remaining with it: rename_whiteout for overlayfs missing, and the nilfs2-userspace utilities contain a bug when used with an aarch32 userspace on top of an aarch64 kernel... altogether, filesystems suck
14:43 activelow; then, a distributed network-filesystem... NFS/wireguard/ipsec will be gone for sure... too heavy
14:44 activelow; IBM/RedHat proposed Ceph a while ago, not sure if i should review this... given my memories what RedHat produced: glibc, systemd, etc... too much to name it at once
14:45 activelow; and if Ceph filesystem follows the same design principles typical for IBM/RedHat, then this doesn't meet acceptance criteria
14:46 activelow; Coda looks promising... for several reasons: the in-kernel dependencies are minimal, it doesn't require kerberos, supports encryption/authentication
14:47 activelow; the replication mechanism could serve as backup/recovery/redundancy, so i could wipe MD-RAID too from kernel (it's a complicated heavyweight too)

15:10 activelow; ok, XFS won't be it... simple reason being, the same type of people... fisted meson/python build-time dependency into xfsprogs ... no thanks
15:13 activelow; i mean... i am not drunk yet...
15:14 activelow; then i see, ext4 in-kernel dependencies can be reduced... need to check this again what disabling config_block in kernel has any side-effects elsewhere, such as parsing MBR by kernel early during system boot
15:14 activelow; if config_block is gone, then config_crypto can be wiped from kernel-space
15:15 activelow; and ext4 had proven stable so far; except, i would prefer something STABLE without features added regularly, which break compatibility
15:16 activelow; and ext4 did just that: break backwards compatibility; ironically ext4 hasn't got a feature i wanted and existed with ext2 ... compression (e2comp)
15:16 activelow; seems to me, kernel-2.4/2.6 got exactly those features i wanted/needed, and are gone nowadays: shfs and e2comp
15:18 activelow; backporting e2comp and shfs (see sourceforge) from kernel-2.4/2.6 era to kernel-5.10 is too much effort, if there isn't anyone willing to do it, because i got many other things on TODO

18:06 DaemonFC; I posted this on WGN when they posted an article about discussing violence in schools with "your children".
18:06 DaemonFC; "Why don't you pull your children out of the failed politician-controlled public schools and either homeschool them or get a voucher for a private school that has a dress code and can expel the nutcases, or at least try to get them into a charter where the teacher's union doesn't randomly go on strike every time they want a bigger raise?
18:06 DaemonFC; When I lived in Chicago, there was a woman who appeared in court with her son because he had been the victim of a crime. I had been mugged by a youth in Chicago and was there to testify (he was convicted). I started talking with the woman (who is black, if this makes a difference) about her son and the public school system, and she said he was attacked by another student at CPS and she was trying very hard to get her son out of CPS and into a
18:06 DaemonFC; STEM charter where he didn't have to look over his shoulder all the time because of the gang activity in the CPS schools.
18:06 DaemonFC; The problem with public schools is that the state is obligated to attempt to educate everyone there, only not everyone there wants to be educated, and so not all of them will be. The ones who aren't educated and don't want to be are often the ones who bring everyone else down with them, so the only thing that a parent who wants their child to succeed can do is to be their child's advocate and get them out of the failed public education system
18:06 DaemonFC; full of gangs and corrupt unions."
18:07 DaemonFC; And they posted about the ongoing Johnny Depp thing.
18:07 DaemonFC; I commented:
18:07 DaemonFC; "Johnny Depp is just a high profile example of what a lot of men have to go through when they have a psychotic ex that makes things up in court. Having been a victim of this "abuse of process" myself, and having the court officials lap it up like antifreeze at a petting zoo, I can sympathize with what he's going through.
18:07 DaemonFC; It's over with, the damage is done. What possible reason would I have to lie about my situation now? Let me tell you that many people are expert abusers, and some bring the police and the courts into it because they want revenge and/or money.

19:18 TR Bot; in Audio Format Exposed Millions of Android Phones to Remote Hacking | PCMag
19:18 DaemonFC; The security hole was in Apple Lossless Audio Codec.
19:18 DaemonFC; I don't even know why you would support that. It's hardly even used, much less on Android phones.
19:19 DaemonFC; A rough estimate based on what I've seen people actually using shows it's roughly 90% FLAC, 5% each of Monkey's Audio and WavPack.
19:20 DaemonFC; WavPack has better compression and does more, and existed 2 years before FLAC, but for some reason Xiph.org made FLAC their official format.
19:21 DaemonFC; At the time (early 2000s) I think that WavPack and Musepack were probably better suited for Free media codecs than FLAC and Vorbis.
19:22 DaemonFC; Musepack is a subband codec that builds upon MPEG 1 Layer 2. One of the goals was an optimized lossy audio codec that avoided the MP3 patents and still had good quality at reasonable bitrates.
19:28 DaemonFC; MP2 was never sufficient, and most of the problem was lack of mandated VBR support on the decoder side and no Mid/Side Stereo support. MP3 had a poor implementation of M/S stereo. It had to either be enabled or not enabled on a frame-by-frame basis. Sometimes this forces the encoder to avoid using it at all when other codecs can apply it in part, since M/S stereo can cause MDCT artifacts if applied to an entire frame, which MP3 forces you to
19:28 DaemonFC; do. This is further compounded by the fact that MP3's bit reservoir causes the design flaw to affect other frames which normally wouldn't have been affected. So telling the encoder to use Variable Bitrate minimizes the use of the bit reservoir and minimizes the odds of this occuring due to part of another frame being packed into the reservoir, but cannot eliminate the situation as MP3 frame sizes are not arbitrary.
19:28 DaemonFC; So the algorithm to decide on which stereo mode to use in MP3 is quite...interesting.
19:29 DaemonFC; FhG seems to give up and use Joint Stereo less aggressively, which minimizes the risk of artifacts, but hampers compression efficiency.

21:43 DaemonFC; <schestowitz_TR2> people with 10 years left to live
21:43 DaemonFC; <schestowitz_TR2> decide for people with 70 years left to live
21:43 DaemonFC; Some would argue that since younger people don't vote, they're giving away their political clout to old people, which almost always vote.
21:44 DaemonFC; It's not a great idea to boycott elections and say they're all a bunch of bastards anyway.
21:45 DaemonFC; That's how you get assholes like Sam Cunningham, the former mayor of Waukegan, who threatened to have a woman arrested and to cause her to lose her affordable housing voucher because she posted an unflattering picture of him on Facebook.
21:46 DaemonFC; Or the time he sexually assaulted an immigrant rights activist after a city council meeting, with her husband standing right there, and then the Waukegan Police refused to investigate it. She asked why, and they said "Why do you think?".
21:46 DaemonFC; And then in the next election, less than 10% of city residents bothered to vote at all, even though the woman running against him couldn't have possibly been worse.
21:48 DaemonFC; What you are doing when you refuse to vote is you're handing over your decisions, which will be made, to a bunch of freeloading ignorant people, many of them fascists or Communists, who may well succeed in putting the worst possible option into office.
21:48 DaemonFC; Like Donald Trump.
21:50 DaemonFC; People like JB Pritzker and Sam Cunningham are the reason I changed my voter registration to "Republican".
21:50 DaemonFC; The Democratic Party of Illinois is a toilet from top to bottom.
21:51 DaemonFC; The ComEd Bribery Scandal involving Mike Madigan, their 40 year Speaker of the House, in total control of their party, is still unfolding.
21:52 DaemonFC; Madigan is also known as Public Official A, but the investigation is proceeding so slowly that he'll probably die before they actually convict anyone.
21:52 DaemonFC; If anyone goes to prison, it will be the people at ComEd who had to bribe him to do business in the state at all.
21:53 DaemonFC; Madigan did all kinds of nasty things. One reason there's so many lawyers in Illinois is because the Democrats passed outrageous property taxes, because Mike Madigan owned a property tax "consulting" firm.
21:54 DaemonFC; And people who hired his firm almost always ended up paying about 1/3rd of the original tax bill.
21:54 DaemonFC; Imagine that.
21:54 DaemonFC; The reason that Madigan and his pet Democrats stayed in office so long? Some breeders in Chicago wanted more welfare and kept electing them.
21:55 DaemonFC; And then all of this nasty stuff was someone else's problem, because the voters were getting "free shit" from the government, while people who earned money and paid taxes got nothing except the taxes.
21:55 DaemonFC; And so they all start moving out, and then there's more Democrats.

21:58 DaemonFC; Eventually, they realize they could get a lot more votes if they start letting felons out of prison and then letting them chase the decent people who still haven't left out of the state.

22:31 TR Bot; Buffalo shooting is a reminder that millions live in food deserts : NPR
22:32 DaemonFC; Most "food deserts" happen because of unacceptable levels of crime in the neighborhood.
22:32 DaemonFC; Like the Jewel-Osco that got a grant from Chicago's government to open up on 71st and Jeffery and closed months later because of all of the shootings and robberies.
22:33 DaemonFC; Businesses don't want to deal with that, so by allowing the crime to go on unabated, food deserts are inevitable.

22:34 *Topic for #techrights set by schestowitz!~roy@22e8m8t4gqjin.irc at Fri Jun 18 16:51:47 2021
22:34 DaemonFC; I used to go to a cheap restaurant owned by some Arab men in that neighborhood. They were behind bulletproof glass!
22:35 DaemonFC; They eventually asked if I lived in that neighborhood and couldn't believe it when I told them I did.
22:35 DaemonFC; There were no other white people for miles.
22:36 DaemonFC; There was one nice area, called Jackson Park Highlands, and that's where we lived, but despite some effort by the city to keep the crime out, like blocking off access to the roads from 71st street, a lot of crime (rapes, muggings, etc.) spilled into the neighborhood because it was right next to a total war zone.
22:37 DaemonFC; We were lucky. I had the Crown Victoria, and we could just drive to Indiana every once in a while to do very large grocery trips and then drive back across the state line.
22:38 DaemonFC; schestowitz-TR, I had the idea, to move to another building my landlord owns. He pays the electric and does not allow air conditioners. But I had this idea.
22:39 DaemonFC; Put one of those window fans in, so it looks like that's all it is, and then hook up the exhaust from a portable air conditioner into it and seal it up tightly, and shove it into the window, and then you have yourself a camouflaged air conditioner.
22:40 DaemonFC; I mean unless he grabs a ladder and climbs up to the third floor, he'd have no idea what it really is from looking at it.
