00:14 activelow; Coda distributed filesystem contains c++, and various other clutter... didn't pass
00:15 activelow; then, encountered many Kernel-internal API changes which prevent easy forward-porting of shfs and e2comp, which is sad to say the least
00:16 activelow; e2comp and shfs (not sshfs, shfs was the kernel-2.4/2.6 variant) were my preferred choice over any other option
00:17 activelow; fuse doesn't convince me, the userspace parts in particular (gnomeified glib in fuse for example), in comparison the userspace part fusemount of shfs was simple and sane
00:18 activelow; linux kernel internally changed the APIs for .read .write filesystem operations, with some iterator callbacks, which i wouldn't know what this is useful for, in essence this is what's breaking the patches
00:19 activelow; of cause, it is possible to re-implement it... yet _testing_ and debugging of kernel changes is time-consuming
00:19 activelow; the decision i made to today: trop overlayfs from kernel, drop ext4(!) support from kernel, drop wireguard support from kernel, and keep ext2 filesystem for compatibility/portability reasons
00:22 activelow; it isn't as if i wouldn't question my own reasoning with it, particularly concerning filesystem choice of ext2
00:27 activelow; furthermore, i noticed reducing internal kernel dependencies by component removal such as crypto/wireguard/... did NOT reduce kernel image size significantly
00:28 activelow; which makes me wonder, what those ~10MiB are (with all modules statically included)
00:28 DaemonFC; And I'm doing toilet paper math again.
00:28 DaemonFC; All of the sizes and prices have changed.
00:29 activelow; by todays, standards 10MiB kernel size are not much, nonetheless, it is 4x the size of a kernel 2.4/2.6... so what happened to linux kernel which blew up kernel image size?
00:29 DaemonFC; Drivers, mostly.
00:29 DaemonFC; The addition of more file systems.
00:30 DaemonFC; More CPU architectures supported.
00:30 activelow; can't be, i removed almost everything possible, filesystems it is only ext2 remaining
00:30 activelow; no, kernel image is compiled for exactly one architecture
00:30 DaemonFC; Why would you use the ext2 driver?
00:30 DaemonFC; It's orphaned.
00:30 activelow; meaning the final binary image size should have not increased by x4 in comparison to version 2.4/2.6
00:30 DaemonFC; It's going to be dropped eventually. It gets enough fixes to keep it working, for now.
00:31 DaemonFC; Fedora already dropped Ext2 and Ext3 drivers from the kernel.
00:31 activelow; DaemonFC: ext2 for stability/portability/compatibility reasons
00:31 DaemonFC; The Ext4 driver can handle Ext2 and Ext3 even without changing the on disk format.
00:31 DaemonFC; And it has an improved block allocator.
00:31 activelow; and i hoped for e2compr patchset could apply.... yet internal kernal APIs for filesystem operations changed
00:32 activelow; yes, but ext4 depends on more stuff inside kernel, and i do not trust ext4, too many changes
00:32 DaemonFC; The old block allocator in the Ext2 and Ext3 drivers should not be used.
00:32 DaemonFC; Especially on older computers.
00:32 activelow; and most important: ext2 got e2compr patchset, ext4 with a shi**load of features hasn't got...
00:33 DaemonFC; They slow down disk access and spam the CPU with hundreds of thousands of block allocation requests and they increase disk fragmentation.
00:33 activelow; sadly, linux kernel developers managed to brick e2compr patchset, i wouldn't blame e2compr, i blame linux kernel
00:33 activelow; DaemonFC: i am planning to mount ext2 synchronous, -o sync... which is even slower
00:33 activelow; didn't test this yet, changes are i will do it if it is fast enough
00:33 activelow; chances
00:34 DaemonFC; The multiblock allocator in the Ext4 driver all by itself is reason enough to prune the obsolete Ext2 and Ext3 drivers from the kernel.
00:34 DaemonFC; Many people will mistakenly use the older drivers and the performance of the entire computer will suffer because of them.
00:34 activelow; anyway, linux kernel bricked version2.4/2.6 patches: e2compr, shfs, linux kernel blew up in binary image size quadrupled round about... with nothing of interest for me added to it since then
00:34 XRevan86; Stable API nonsense? Nay! Stable patchset appliance nonsense.
00:35 DaemonFC; The Ext4 driver is sufficiently stable.
00:35 activelow; XRevan86: ext4 hasn't got compression support does it?
00:35 DaemonFC; The code that handles the older file systems is mostly the code from the older file systems.
00:35 XRevan86; DaemonFC: Every codebase has an obligation to never change :)
00:35 DaemonFC; So there's almost no chance of a regression, only benefit.
00:35 activelow; this is, how awesome linux kernel is nowadays, excessively huge kernel image size, witch features lost which were available long before
00:35 activelow; *with
00:36 activelow; FUSE... maybe the kernel-parts are acceptable, the userspace part of fuse aren't
00:36 DaemonFC; The best way to get the fs driver footprint down right now, today, is to delete Ext2, Ext3, and ReiserFS.
00:36 XRevan86; by available activelow means not available
00:36 activelow; xfs... what a joke when scrolling the changelog (and some bug reports) of a supposedly stable filesystem such as XFS
00:37 DaemonFC; The BtrFS driver is in much better shape in recent kernels than it was even 6-12 months ago.
00:37 XRevan86; activelow: bcachefs has compression.
00:37 activelow; JFS, from IBM, slightly better... nonetheless... no compression support, only JFS1 for AIX
00:37 DaemonFC; I've changed this laptop to use BtrFS on the SSD.
00:37 XRevan86; So does btrfs of course.
00:37 DaemonFC; Although I still do use Ext4 on my external hard disk, which is due to various reasons.
00:38 XRevan86; activelow: Switch to the only true stable FS: reiser3.
00:38 XRevan86; It's so stable it's orphaned.
00:38 DaemonFC; I used Ext4 on it as soon as I bought it, getting rid of NTFS. There are many files on it now. Restoring all of them after wiping the file system would take over a day.
00:38 XRevan86; No developments there, just ancient bugs left untouched for eons.
00:38 DaemonFC; The Ext4 driver is extremely well tested now and unlikely to eat my data, even in a nasty corner case. We don't know about BtrFS. Why trust backups to it?
00:39 XRevan86; DaemonFC: Ext4 is not sufficiently dead, it's not worthy of consideration.
00:39 DaemonFC; The BtrFS compression is good for my SSD because there's less write amplification and it saves space. It's a much smaller amount of space, therefore the compression is more useful.
00:40 DaemonFC; Some Linux advice websites claim you should just use NTFS now that there's kernel support. This is wrong.
00:41 DaemonFC; While it may be Windows and Mac compatible, the driver that made it into the kernel is in terrible shape and the alleged maintainer hasn't responded to his email in months, and by bypassing the normal inclusion process, the kernel maintainers stuck Linux with this piece of shit when it should have gone into staging where they could get rid of it again because it wasn't guaranteed to even be built in the main kernel tree.
00:42 DaemonFC; And that's before we even begin to get into "Microsoft designed it. Why would you want important data on it? Even their official chkdsk corrupts it, ON WINDOWS. Almost three decades later.".
00:42 DaemonFC; Or the patents.
00:43 DaemonFC; While the core of NTFS is almost 30 years old, they keep tacking more garbage onto it and getting more patents.
00:43 DaemonFC; So it's not legally safe to use.
00:43 DaemonFC; Most of the "features" of NTFS that have been added in later years are counterproductive or even mostly useful if you're writing malware.
00:43 XRevan86; Mockery aside, expecting a patchset for Linux 2.0 to apply today is, without exaggeration, madness.
00:43 DaemonFC; But without them, then sharing the volume with Windows is even sketchier.
00:44 DaemonFC; <XRevan86> Mockery aside, expecting a patchset for Linux 2.0 to apply today is, without exaggeration, madness.
00:44 DaemonFC; They're hardly even the same kernel.
00:44 activelow; DaemonFC: it isn't only ext4, it is APIs against which ext4 is developed... and some bugs were known...
00:45 DaemonFC; You'd be hard pressed to find a significant part of a Linux 2.0 or 2.4 tree that hasn't been significantly modified or entirely rewritten or dropped since then.
00:45 XRevan86; Oh, actually, there's an update for Linux 3.4
00:45 activelow; i don't doubt it, it is tested, yet, ext4 hasn't got the features i wanted
00:45 XRevan86; But my point stands.
00:45 DaemonFC; The Linux development was more haphazard back then.
00:46 DaemonFC; I actually stayed on the Linux 2.4.x tree for some time because XFS was added to it by Marcello Tossati when Linus handed the 2.4 branch over to him.
00:46 DaemonFC; So for a little while, it had a feature that the 2.6 branch didn't, which I wanted to use.
00:46 XRevan86; To think that the developers have to consider patchset appliance in their work on code is also madness.
00:46 activelow; checking bcachefs... depends, what it wants, inside kernel... i do not accept the internal kernel crypto-api (not a final decision yet, although i do not want the in-kernel crypto api, compression should not need it)
00:47 DaemonFC; Ideally, hardware vendors would just refuse to build anything that didn't have Fully Free drivers.
00:47 DaemonFC; Then they could upgrade the kernel freely and not worry about it too much in their new firmwares.
00:47 DaemonFC; And this LTS branch thing wouldn't be necessary.
00:47 activelow; XRevan86: if internal kernal API stability was nonsense, then this is your _opinion_; fact is internal kernel APIs changed, and features are gone
00:47 TR News; "The capsule has moved from SDF to tilde.team, this has allowed me more freedom to upload pictures and host particularly long text files. Yay~" gemini://tilde.team/~smokey/logs/2022-05-25-new-things.gmi
00:48 DaemonFC; The entire reason for the LTS kernel branches is proprietary hardware drivers, mainly in Android phones.
00:48 activelow; furthermore, i suspect, couldn't test because breakage, shfs was the better choice in comparison to FUSE
00:48 DaemonFC; Android sucks, honestly.
00:48 TR News; Gemini input, and improving client support gemini://gemini.thegonz.net/glog/220525-geminiInputClientSupport.gmi "I have a couple of things to say in Gemini's defence here, and a client UI suggestion."
00:49 activelow; the prominent kernel-4.4 LTS, had my share of fun with it, because of some rockchip-related stuff... stability is something else than what kernel 4.4 was
00:49 activelow; anyway, some other patch not easily applied: fbui in kernel framebuffer window management...
00:50 XRevan86; activelow: Even kernel *modules* need work to continue working.
00:50 activelow; yaft userspace is realtively slow... just saying
00:50 XRevan86; activelow: .patch is simply doomed.
00:50 activelow; .patch is a distribution method... agnostic towards kernel internal api changes
00:51 XRevan86; Right, it can break from *any* change.
00:51 activelow; if APIs change... a merge or patch-apply do not differ that much, given the scale of "improvements" and changes
00:52 activelow; anyway, what is the explanation for kernel binary image size quadrupling since kernel-2.4/2.6, with a comparable feature-set and module select?
00:52 activelow; 3MiB uncompression against 12MiB uncompressed... why is that? i do NOT know.
00:52 activelow; what are those f*cK**ng 8MiB of binary gibberish added to linux kernel binary image?
00:53 XRevan86; Remove all the new hardware support, should trim it down.
00:53 activelow; already did that
00:53 XRevan86; Doubtful.
00:53 activelow; IPv6 removed, crypto api removed ... i mean, that's even less than kernel-2.6
00:54 activelow; all virtualization removed, cgroups/namespace etc... i only keep network device drivers for the ethernet i got here
00:54 activelow; there isn't anything remaining to remove
00:55 psydruid; And it's still too big
00:55 psydruid; Maybe it's time to remove Linux
00:55 activelow; not too big in absolute numbers, relative to kernel 2.4/2.6 ... what are those additional 8MiB which quadruple kernel image size?
00:55 XRevan86; There's OpenBSD.
00:56 XRevan86; or NetBSD
00:56 XRevan86; Probably no FS compression though.
00:56 activelow; with *BSD i do not accept the llvm/clang compiler choice of theirs, don't know which gcc version, i do not accept any later than gcc-4.7
00:57 activelow; and with linux-5.10, i fear, this will be the last version i was willing to accept, because of their compiler version bump requirement to gcc-5.x (since linux 5.14 iirc)
00:58 activelow; and, no support for tinycc

01:38 DaemonFC; I might write another article about water filters.
01:38 DaemonFC; The Big Berkey seems to be a bunch of boloney.
01:38 *bnchs has quit (connection closed)
01:39 *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #techrights
01:40 DaemonFC; They claim they don't run their filters through the NSF/ANSI testing because it would cost them $10,000 to test. However, their filter enclosure/water reservoir costs $387 for the 2.5 gallon Berkey and the filters cost $136.75 each in packs of 4.
01:41 DaemonFC; And if you want it to remove fluoride, you have to buy another filter, and screw it onto the filter, and the add-on filters are sold out right now, but normally run $39.50 each.
01:41 DaemonFC; So these aren't a cheap system and they could afford to run the tests if they wanted to.
01:41 DaemonFC; Furthermore, they lose a lot of sales because it's illegal for them to sell into the California and Iowa markets without those certifications, so not paying for them costs them a lot of lost sales.
01:42 DaemonFC; California has 39.5 million residents and Iowa has 3.1 million.
01:42 DaemonFC; Amusingly, they say their products are legal in 49 states, so it's unclear whether California or Iowa isn't a state.
01:44 DaemonFC; Three major lab tests of the Big Berkey were inconsistent, which might mean there's issues with quality control of the filters, and while they all agreed the Berkey was good at removing lead, they also agreed it only removed about 13% of chloroform.
01:44 DaemonFC; The Berkey's manufacturer stated that it removes so much chloroform, it's impossible to detect what's left in a laboratory.
01:45 DaemonFC; The Berkey website also appeals to nuts by promoting debunked anti-fluoride myths.
01:46 DaemonFC; In fact, when Juneau, Alaska stopped fluoridating, they were one of the study subjects to see what would happen to children without fluoridated water. Dental cavities shot up 22% in the 2012 group of children vs the 2003 group.
01:46 DaemonFC; And costs to treat the cavities themselves increased over 70% after adjusting for inflation.
01:48 DaemonFC; The dentists are really busy fixing cavities that would have been prevented entirely or partially by the fluoridation the town chose to stop, so prices go up and it takes longer to get into the dentist.
01:48 DaemonFC; They voted for a public health disaster.
01:48 DaemonFC; In 2022, with no dental insurance, it can cost up to $650 to get one tooth filled at the average dentist in Illinois, where I live.
01:49 DaemonFC; Mandy needed over 10 fillings.
01:49 DaemonFC; I think it was like 11 fillings, but I can't be sure. It was awful.
01:49 DaemonFC; And it was either that or lose the rest of his teeth and go into full dentures.
01:53 DaemonFC; I could probably sink not having any fluoride in my water just because I'm pedantic about brushing my teeth with fluoride toothpaste and getting fluoride varnish applied to them 3 or 4 times a year.
01:55 DaemonFC; Unless you're absolutely sure everyone in your family is brushing with fluoride toothpaste like they should and getting routine fluoride treatments, you should be very careful to avoid water filters that remove it from the water.
01:56 DaemonFC; It's considered a public health measure because when you remove it from the water system, it's the children who don't brush right and eat lots of candy, and the poor and homeless, who suffer the most.

11:25 DaemonFC; Seems the UK gets ripped off for Brita filters. Works out to $6.29 USD per filter if you buy the Maxtra+ by the dozen, except they only filter 26.5 US gallons per filter.
11:26 DaemonFC; The method that Brita GmbH uses in their Maxtra filter seems to be similar to the Brita Standard Filter that Clorox makes for the US Brita filters, which cost $4 each in packs of 6 and filter 40 US gallons of water each.
11:27 DaemonFC; Activated Coconut Shell Carbon with Ion Exchange Resin and mesh on both ends to gather coarse particles on the inlet and to prevent flecks of carbon on the outlet.
11:28 DaemonFC; I tore open an old US (Clorox) Brita standard filter that I was disposing of yesterday and it contains quite a lot of carbon and ion exchange resin.
11:29 DaemonFC; By volume you get about 1/6th more total filtration material vs. a typical knockoff that fits the pitchers, and most of that difference appears to be in the quantity of ion exchange resin.
11:29 DaemonFC; They're not poorly constructed, at all.
11:29 DaemonFC; For the money, it's definitely worth going original Brita on the filters vs. trying to get Target or Home Depot filters or something.
11:30 DaemonFC; Even a guy on YouTube tore into the generics and just found that there was "less stuff" inside the generics. He poured the contents into Dixie cups and weighed them, and the Brita had the most filtration media (carbon+resin) in it.
11:31 DaemonFC; The competitors save money by screwing you out of filtration media.
11:32 DaemonFC; Since the filter's ability to operate is in direct proportion to the amount of filtration media inside a filter, that means that there's no way those off brand filters perform the same as a Brita over the stated 40 gallon lifespan of each unit.
11:34 DaemonFC; I would suggest that anyone who wants to compare should ask the off brand filter manufacturer for a Performance Data Sheet and compare it to the Brita. They're all required to list which contaminants they filter that they wish to make a claim for, and the average level of filtration efficacy over the stated life of the filter.
11:34 DaemonFC; If they won't do that, something underhanded is going on.
11:37 DaemonFC; It looks like the main difference between US Brita (Clorox, which also sells the same stuff in Canada and Mexico) and Brita GmbH (most of the rest of the world) is that Brita GmbH is charging about 23.7 cents per gallon to filter water using Maxtra and US Brita is charging about 10 or 11 cents per gallon for Standard or "Elite" (LongLast) filters. The US Brita is the superior model.
11:39 DaemonFC; I doubt flow problems are common with either unit. Granular Activated Carbon+Ion Exchange Resin is hard to plug up unless you're trying to pack small granules together so tightly that you can make a PDS claim for lead removal.
11:39 DaemonFC; If I was in Europe, I'd probably just import a US Brita system and a bunch of filters.

17:54 matey; its bsd for your computer or bdsm for your computing
17:55 schestowitz_TR2; is there a tor distro based on a bad?
17:55 schestowitz_TR2; *bsd
17:55 matey; no. because tor distros are for people who cant install and use tor
17:55 matey; im not against this
17:56 matey; but bsd is generally aimed (for now) at people who can install and run tor
17:56 matey; i suspect the more people that move to bsd, the more we will see derivatives of freebsd and netbsd and openbsd
17:56 matey; there are a few already of course
17:56 schestowitz_TR2; <matey> no. because tor distros are for people who cant install and use tor
17:56 schestowitz_TR2; this is partly untruie
17:56 matey; they are against calling them distros-- which i think is funny, because the "d" in bsd literally stands for "distribution"
17:57 schestowitz_TR2; tails is a way to use as a live, volatille system a tor browser and other tools
17:57 matey; this is partly untrue <- oh really, which part?
17:57 schestowitz_TR2; without any fingereprints
17:57 matey; oh, that
17:57 matey; yes, thats fair
17:57 schestowitz_TR2; soem people install tails to pass data
17:57 schestowitz_TR2; and process that data
17:57 matey; i suppose you could use fuguita for that
17:57 schestowitz_TR2; tails comes with some software on it that lets metadata get removed iirc
17:57 schestowitz_TR2; \
17:58 matey; but maybe in the near future there will be increased demand for this
17:58 schestowitz_TR2; I use mat2 to remove cruft from files
17:58 matey; its sad that tails moved to systemd
17:58 schestowitz_TR2; tails is not just os+toir_browser
17:58 schestowitz_TR2; it's supposed to be "boot into this thing" and live in avacuum
17:58 matey; no but its little more than that
17:59 schestowitz_TR2; for a little while
17:59 schestowitz_TR2; of course today's hardwareis hostile
17:59 matey; i mean it wipes your ddram on shutdown, thats cool
17:59 schestowitz_TR2; so who knows what the heck is going on
17:59 schestowitz_TR2; what the ethernet and wifi ports/modules are doing
17:59 matey; indeed
17:59 matey; though a lot of sec people seem to think thats not such a big deal

18:49 TR Bot; [GIT PULL] asm-generic changes for 5.19 - Arnd Bergmann
18:49 matey; <schestowitz_TR2> need topic ideas <schestowitz_TR2> esp. Free software topics
18:50 matey; free software is nearly dead
18:50 matey; sorry, "mostly dead"
18:50 matey; mostly dead means partly alive
18:50 schestowitz_TR2; but inux is free software too
18:50 schestowitz_TR2; thoiugh it rejects the label
18:50 matey; no it isnt
18:51 schestowitz_TR2; linux-libre?
18:51 matey; even if it changed its name to gnu
18:51 matey; linux-libre is an oxymoron

18:52 TR Bot; LinuxFX "Fixes" Data Leak (Now Even Easier To Compromise!) - Invidious
18:52 matey; theres no salvaging the kernel, and in linux land the userspace is a SECONDARY to systemd
18:52 matey; gnu/linux is an EX-parrot
18:52 schestowitz_TR2; the other kernels are not more free
18:52 schestowitz_TR2; hurd might be]
18:52 matey; of course other kernels are more free
18:52 schestowitz_TR2; but good luck using that for 100% of your work
18:52 matey; they have freedom 3
18:52 matey; linux doesnt
18:53 matey; without freedom 3 its only pretend free software
18:53 schestowitz_TR2; it does
18:53 schestowitz_TR2; but freedom 5
18:53 matey; it says it does
18:53 schestowitz_TR2; that's the issue
18:53 schestowitz_TR2; too big... hard to remove stuff
18:53 matey; without freedom 5 there is no freedom 3
18:53 schestowitz_TR2; so you need to redefine the 4 Freedoms
18:53 schestowitz_TR2; and then use a new def. for "free sofwtare"
18:53 matey; in the early days of gnu freedom 4 (not 5, the fifth freedom is freedom 4) was implicit
18:54 matey; so you need to redefine the 4 Freedoms <- no, you just need to count the ones that existed before
18:54 matey; then you can see that one is now missing
18:54 schestowitz_TR2; complexity too is a form of vendor lockin
18:54 matey; and its a dependency of freedom 3
18:54 schestowitz_TR2; in recent years we learned that frequent releases too
18:54 schestowitz_TR2; like Chrome and Mozilla do
18:54 schestowitz_TR2; systemd
18:54 schestowitz_TR2; you can barely fgork it
18:54 matey; if yoyu remove freedom 4, freedom 3 starts to buckle
18:54 schestowitz_TR2; by ther time you make something work OK you are already several versions behind
18:55 matey; but gnu already had freedom 4
18:55 matey; it abandoned it
18:55 matey; now youre lucky if you have freedom 3 (but it would take more than the usual bit of luck)
18:55 matey; (more like a miracle)
18:56 matey; without freedom 3, what you have is the freedom to rewrite the entire project
18:56 matey; but you already have that with non-free software
18:56 matey; so linux is non-free
18:56 matey; and linux-libre is a figment of olivas imagination
18:57 matey; albeit a persistant one

19:25 TR Bot; Digital IDs feature expanding to Maryland and possibly Mississippi, here's how to add - 9to5Mac
19:25 DaemonFC; I replied:
19:26 DaemonFC; I'm just not seeing a use for this. The other day at 7/11 in Chicago, I was with my spouse going to his Consulate to get his passport renewed, and he invited some of his friends from the same country to go with us.
19:26 DaemonFC; One of them kept tapping her stupid iPhone while the system said "ERROR ERROR ERROR ERROR BEEP BEEP BEEP ERROR" and the second person working in the store had to walk up to another register so I could pay for my items with my Discover card (the actual card) and it said "BEEP...Approved" and she handed me my receipt while his friend was over there still tapping her stupid iPhone. I went outside and like five minutes later they came out.
19:26 DaemonFC; The actual card.....Don't leave home without it! :)
19:26 bnchs; lol iphone digital ID
19:26 bnchs; bring your phone so we can track you faster
19:27 CrystalMath; it's a disaster and it must be refused at all costs
19:28 DaemonFC; I wonder if I can find some ion exchange resin that would fit in an empty Brita filter that I could just keep swapping out and replacing.
19:29 bnchs; DaemonFC: wait until they deprecate credit cards
19:29 DaemonFC; There's quite a bit in a standard cartridge, but most of it is Granular Activated Carbon. So the Elite LongLast filter removes 30+ contaminants, but copper and zinc aren't on them, and it doesn't appear to do as well at dealing with Trihalomethanes, because I know what those taste like.
19:29 bnchs; because "everyone has a phone!"
19:29 MinceR;
19:30 DaemonFC; So I set up a system where in one tank, I run it full with a fresh standard cartridge, and then I hold the UltraMax with a LongLast cartridge underneath and the standard one acts as a pre-filter now.
19:30 DaemonFC; And that seems to do a more complete filtering job. By the time both are done, I don't taste anything in the water at all.
19:31 DaemonFC; We have some really shitty plumbing here.
19:31 zure; https://www.ifixit.com/Store/Miscellanous/Steam-Deck-Motherboard/IF260-020?o=1
19:31 TR Bot; Deck Motherboard - iFixit Store
19:31 DaemonFC; So I'm almost certain what I was tasting when I switched to the blue filter was copper and/or zinc mostly. It tasted metallic, but the standard filter as a first stage does get that out.
19:32 DaemonFC; The two systems work better together than either one does alone.
19:32 zure; Steam Deck Motherboard
19:32 zure; Item code: IF260-020-1
19:32 zure; Not for sale
19:32 DaemonFC; And I calculated what it would cost to run it like this to be 19 cents per gallon, which is still 5 times cheaper than bottled water, half the price of the water island machine, and 7 times cheaper than ZeroWater.
19:32 zure; good luck ifixing that
19:33 DaemonFC; Those Water Island machines can be pretty dangerous. You have no idea what the employees actually do to maintain them. Some have safe municipal water going in and water that's oozing with bacteria coming out.
19:34 DaemonFC; When California investigated them, about a third would have violated for Coliform Bacteria under the SDWA, and many also had mold growing in them because the company wasn't servicing the filters.
19:34 DaemonFC; So, a reverse osmosis system may be worth using, in theory.
19:34 DaemonFC; But in fact, it all depends on if they maintain it, and since you can't open up the machine and see if it's full of mold, you have no idea what's going on in there.
19:36 DaemonFC; I was considering a Brita faucet filter, but the confounding thing about those is, they remove MORE contaminants, but there's ones that every filter they make misses that the others get.
19:36 DaemonFC; :/
19:37 DaemonFC; Or at least that's what they say. I don't know why they don't seek certification under NSF/ANSI for something their filter does. Seems logical they'd like to make another claim if the design can handle it.
19:37 DaemonFC; Modern Castle found the standard cartridge removed almost 100% Total Trihalomethanes, but that's not a claim Brita makes, unless you buy the faucet adapter.
19:38 DaemonFC; The only thing I can think of is the testing procedure.
19:38 DaemonFC; NSF/ANSI testing procedure looks at what the filter is still doing after you run 2.5 times as much water as the manufacturer is looking to claim through it.
19:39 DaemonFC; So it's possible that the GAC/Ion Exchange system can do TTHMs initially and for the rated life of the filter, but not for 2.5 times the rated lifespan.
19:39 DaemonFC; MinceR, While I was researching what to do about my water, I looked into the Berkey systems and those are full of lulz.
19:39 DaemonFC; They have no actual certifications.
19:40 DaemonFC; They're not legal in two states, because they demand you go through the NSF/ANSI testing first, which is relatively cheap considering what the Berkey systems cost and the money they must bring in, which screams to me they just don't want to have to prove they work.
19:40 DaemonFC; Independent lab tests paid for by actual reviewers show their results aren't nearly as good as they claim, which further backs this up.
19:41 DaemonFC; They don't sell their products directly, they do it through a network of shady salespeople, like Kirby vacuum cleaners.
19:43 DaemonFC; One of their sales points is that the initial cost is high, but the filters run for 3,000 gallons. One report I read showed that the system basically stops working after about 1,100 gallons, but the user wouldn't know that unless they did their own expensive lab tests.
19:43 DaemonFC; Also, another person I read says that a common complaint that happened to their Berkey is that eventually they spring leaks because the system gets dented or a gasket wears out, and they have to buy a new system or at least a repair kit.
19:44 DaemonFC; And yet another report I read shows that they use a form of aluminum to remove the fluoride, and then leech aluminum from the filter into the water you're drinking.
19:44 *bnchs has quit (Quit: leaving)
19:45 DaemonFC; And yet another report I read, a person poured distilled water into the Berkey with a TDS rating of 0, and it came out "filtered" with a TDS rating of over 300.
19:45 TR News; Sad to think Debian, via SPI, now pays a stupid and lousy (also overpaid) lawyer to sit there on his MICROSOFT WINDOWS machine writing threatening letters to silence people who ACTUALLY DEVELOPED Debian... for no pay. The irony of the situation is just endless. GNU/Linux project paying Linux-hostile people to attack people who actually develop GNU/Linux for no pay.
19:46 TR News; SLAPP does not protect the reputation of Debian. It just further tarnishes it.
19:46 DaemonFC; Berkey won't respond to any of this, and as for why they're banned in California and Iowa, they blame "not wanting to pay for certifications, taxes, and red tape" and "it's not worth doing business there".

20:28 schestowitz_TR2; did some good posts abooout it over a decade ago
20:28 schestowitz_TR2; as sweden is notorious for its war on cash
20:28 schestowitz_TR2; he had a nervous breakdown and is not appearing much in public anymore
20:28 schestowitz_TR2; my knowledge of war on cash is likely more limited than yours
20:29 schestowitz_TR2; because I mostly pay with cash, which means I'm not too familiar with the alternative to that
20:29 DaemonFC; There's a lot of fronts on that.
20:29 schestowitz_TR2; like all those "phone" things
20:29 schestowitz_TR2; "contactless"
20:29 schestowitz_TR2; pure BS
20:29 schestowitz_TR2; like people fancying star trek and star wars sci-fi
20:29 schestowitz_TR2; it's likely just some rf/bt thing
20:30 DaemonFC; Larry Summers, one of the Clinton Regime's guys (treasury) suggested getting rid of the $100 bill to make carrying large amounts of cash more difficult, and said we maybe should get rid of anything larger than $20 (which means the $50 gets eliminated too).
20:30 schestowitz_TR2; or some tokens over radio
20:30 DaemonFC; With hyperinflation, very soon the $20 won't buy anything and they can use that to justify getting rid of cash entirely.
20:30 schestowitz_TR2; DaemonFC: did you write about this topic?
20:30 schestowitz_TR2; I have many blind spots there
20:30 schestowitz_TR2; so could use some collab on the info
20:30 schestowitz_TR2; like with "smart" cars
20:31 DaemonFC; When I wanted to buy a used car 10 or 15 years ago, I only had to carry 22 $100 bills.
20:31 DaemonFC; This time I had to carry 80 of them.
20:31 DaemonFC; But there's hardly any inflation, you know.
20:31 schestowitz_TR2; inflation is just a tax
20:31 schestowitz_TR2; it impacts not only savers btw
20:32 DaemonFC; If they get rid of the $100, then right away, you need to carry 160 $50s, and if they get rid of the $50, you need to carry 400 $20s.
20:32 schestowitz_TR2; people who have no savings barely make ends meet
20:32 schestowitz_TR2; so inflation to them means going into debt, faster...
20:32 DaemonFC; Soon it's impossible to pay for a car in cash. Any car. Because you'll have to carry a sack full of $20s.
20:32 schestowitz_TR2; not true
20:32 DaemonFC; They say it stifles "terrorists".
20:32 schestowitz_TR2; a car at $10,000
20:32 schestowitz_TR2; used one
20:33 schestowitz_TR2; would be 500 notes
20:33 schestowitz_TR2; that's like two envelopes

21:17 DaemonFC; I said as long as I get an invoice showing what was done and that I paid him in full, that's fine.
21:18 DaemonFC; schestowitz_TR2, 5% is kind of high for credit card swiping fees, isn't it?
21:18 schestowitz_TR2; steep
21:18 schestowitz_TR2; maybe they do want people to use cash after all ;-)
21:18 DaemonFC; I thought it was like 3-4% but then again I heard Vista and Bastard Card just raised them again.
21:18 schestowitz_TR2; and now you can double mask and wear a har
21:18 schestowitz_TR2; *hat
21:18 DaemonFC; Yeah, merchants are fucking pissed about the new swipe fees.
21:18 schestowitz_TR2; so it's doubly hard to figure out whoi's paying
21:19 DaemonFC; It's eating them alive so that banks can fund hotel rooms and airplane tickets for their cardholders, schestowitz_TR2
21:19 schestowitz_TR2; I'm wearing a hat and two masks - > https://www.mancity.com/citytv/mens/inside-city-397-champions-parade-special-63789064
21:19 DaemonFC; Like, I have enough credit card rewards that I just funded an entire vacation in July with them.
21:20 DaemonFC; And while I was doing that, the resort offered me another credit card with another signing bonus, and bonus points on their hotel points scheme.
21:20 DaemonFC; So between the cards and the hotel's own points, you can get a lot of free nights.
21:20 DaemonFC; Next year I'll have enough points to book a night for free with hotel points.
21:21 DaemonFC; It's pretty sick, schestowitz_TR2 with the credit card points, because we all know who they come from. They come from people paying in cash who can't get a credit card.
21:21 DaemonFC; Or don't use one because they don't think the points are worth the tracking.
21:22 DaemonFC; It's a zero sum game. The bank tosses out the points as bait. They keep part of the interchange fee for "facilitating the transactions", and then cash and debit card payers have to foot the bill.
21:23 DaemonFC; schestowitz_TR2, But they did do quite a bit of work on that car for $2,300. That was a LOT of rust.
21:23 DaemonFC; I saw the before and after on that outer rocker alone. The last owner let the trim separate enough that like, salt water or something got in, and it started corroding the entire panel.
21:24 DaemonFC; So they had to grind and cut out rust and then patch it by welding in sheet metal, and then make it flush using a fiberglass finish, and then prime and paint it.
21:25 DaemonFC; So that was where almost all of the labor went.
21:25 DaemonFC; The last body shop quoted me at 15 hours plus 2 for paint on the rocker panel alone.
21:26 DaemonFC; Rust repair is really tricky stuff. It's a lot of labor time, it's hard to guarantee it will be permanent.
21:27 DaemonFC; But as a general rule, these sorts of repairs usually hold up for at least 7-8 years before things begin to start looking a little ugly again and if you don't fix it, what'll happen is that the panel will finish rusting away, the trim will fall out, and then you're missing part of the car.
21:27 DaemonFC; And there are cars like that in the parking lot here and that's a major eyesore.
21:28 DaemonFC; With nothing protecting the body behind the trim, what happens is that salt water and road debris start eating out your doors from bottom to top.
21:28 DaemonFC; And basically the car falls apart due to rusting away.

21:33 DaemonFC; The media wanted the narrative to be "guns bad" and instead of focusing on the fact that the gunman was Chinese and the reason he wanted everyone in that church to die was that they were from Taiwan.
21:34 DaemonFC; If someone was actually concerned about letting in a bunch of people from China who are probably spies or at least bringing their Communist brainwashing here with them, that could have been stopped.

21:40 DaemonFC; Then he asked others what their favorite thing about Section 8 tenants was. Another guy chimed in and said as a landlord, that they have plenty of money for weed, liquor, and Newport cigarettes, but can't come up with their share of the rent. Including one that only has to pay him $3 a month.

21:42 DaemonFC; Congress keeps taking a stab at healthcare reform every now and then. Some of it actually is market-based and effective, and I think the No Surprises Act is one of the better things they've passed in years.
21:43 DaemonFC; You go to an ER and you don't just get a bill from the ER, which may be in your insurance network. You get a bill from whichever arbitrary lab they use, which you have no say over, and whichever Physician's Group they contract with, which nobody lets you decide on, and you had no idea what anything was going to cost as a package before you decide which hospital to have a procedure done in, so the bill for something could be $7,000 or $70,000.
21:43 DaemonFC; The No Surprises Act basically makes everything that follows in-network if the facility is in-network.

22:29 schestowitz_TR2; nyway, it is off topic

22:29 DaemonFC; Oh yes, and the Illinois FOID Act specifically says Illegal Alien.

22:33 DaemonFC; Those people can't legally own a gun.
22:34 DaemonFC; There's many white people who are legally barred from gun ownership for conviction of a felony offense.
22:34 DaemonFC; Never hear about them, but there's hundreds of thousands at least.
22:34 DaemonFC; They have to say black people are on the business end of being Brady disqualified to make it sound racist.
22:35 DaemonFC; Anyone who is the victim of a bogus restraining order is also Brady disqualified, including at one point, Johnny Depp.
22:35 DaemonFC; And David Letterman, because some woman in Nevada complained that he was sending her psychic messages through her TV set.
22:35 DaemonFC; And the judge issued a restraining order because she "filled out the papers correctly".
22:36 TR News; Two companies I hate. One buys the other. I hope the graveyard has two adjacent slots for them.
22:36 DaemonFC; That woman who claimed Letterman was sending her psychic messages through the television made it illegal for Letterman to own a gun under the 1993 Brady Bill until the restraining order was lifted two years later.
