00:26 *Channel #techrights modes: +Cmnt
00:26 *Channel #techrights created on Sat May 29 23:56:07 2021
00:26 DaemonFC; Many found ways to keep using the protocol long after Napster lost in court, including with the original software if you wanted to (the last beta release).
00:26 DaemonFC; The industry didn't "win" anything.
00:27 MinceR; they haven't stopped fighting
00:27 DaemonFC; The government has extended copyright laws and made court rulings, and now after more than 20 years of inefficacious and incompetent government action, they have Google to do their dirty work for them.
00:28 MinceR; uefi, pluton and wei are proof of that
00:28 MinceR; they're trying to take general purpose computers away from us in the hope of making their bullshit business model work
00:28 DaemonFC; Well, Google doesn't actually seem to control what you install in the Linux container.
00:29 DaemonFC; And if it's a bittorrent client, it seems that using the Android version of the VPN software on a Chromebook is enough to route it through that.
00:30 DaemonFC; I don't think they really care what you grab. It's the law firms monitoring the swarms that do that. Google just doesn't fight them when they come asking for things from the search index to be removed.
00:30 DaemonFC; So Google has been getting really really bad, their search results are bad, because sooner or later someone shows up and says "I own that".
00:31 schestowitz; the results are good
00:31 DaemonFC; SearXNG gets around this by searching a lot of things directly and shotgunning multiple engines that the copyright trolls haven't bothered with or at least not in a unified way.
00:31 schestowitz; but not for you
00:31 schestowitz; for google and its clients
00:31 DaemonFC; No matter what Google deletes or how fast or how little resistance they put up, Hollywood keeps attacking them.
00:32 DaemonFC; Like they're your bag man trying to help you grab copyrighted works or something.
00:32 schestowitz; the "news" stopped talking about shit-gpt "infused" bing

00:39 MinceR; if the west doesn't want to be destroyed by authoritarians, they had better stop trading and communicating with them
00:39 MinceR; the sooner the better
00:39 MinceR; the chinese empire and the moscovian empire have both already shown that they can fuck with democracies severely
00:41 DaemonFC; Yeah, Colbert really pissed them off when he said without China our Happy Meals wouldn't have any toys in them.
00:42 DaemonFC; While he was introducing Hu Jintao.
00:42 MinceR; they usa can't manage simple injection molding anymore?
00:43 DaemonFC; Colbert made the comment in 2006 I believe.
00:43 MinceR; s/ey/e/
00:43 DaemonFC; And by that point McDonalds Happy Meal toys had been made in China for years.
00:43 MinceR; way too much shit is made in the chinese empire and this has given them an edge
00:43 MinceR; it should stop
00:43 DaemonFC; MinceR: I was unloading a truck of Chinese merchandise at a warehouse in 2004.
00:43 DaemonFC; I found some Chinese guy's wallet.
00:44 DaemonFC; Then I went back another row and found a pack of Chinese cigarettes.
00:44 DaemonFC; And then a lighter that played music.
00:44 MinceR; with renminbi banknotes summing up to a fraction of a cent in it?
00:44 DaemonFC; LOL
00:44 MinceR; or perhaps a suicide note?
00:44 DaemonFC; He lost his wallet, a singing lighter, and a pack of really awful cigarettes.
00:45 DaemonFC; MinceR: I lit up one of the cigarettes and it was the nastiest cigarette I've ever tasted.
00:45 MinceR; stalinism in action
00:45 DaemonFC; Communists must never make decent smokes, as a rule.
00:45 DaemonFC; I figured why not, you can't get Chinese cigarettes here, so why not try one?
00:46 DaemonFC; Well, I did, and I certainly didn't finish it.
00:46 MinceR; or decent anything whatsoever
00:46 MinceR; why put the effort in it when the state doesn't care, the people can't do anything about it, and there's no competition?
00:46 DaemonFC; Fair enough. Like the field rations that might prove more lethal to their own troops than combat.

00:48 DaemonFC; Intel got billions of dollars from US taxpayers.....to lay thousands of Americans off immediately as soon as the check cleared, and then finished off with a cafeteria stabbing.

01:24 schestowitz; your pi article in gemini got the most hits again
01:24 schestowitz; about 160 yesterday in gemini
01:25 DaemonFC; Was looking at how to boost the memory on the Pi 400 Personal Computer.
01:25 DaemonFC; zram is apparently an option and would effectively give you another 2 GB or so.
01:25 DaemonFC; At the cost of some CPU cycles. The drag seems negligible on my laptop. Wonder how the Pi would do.
01:26 schestowitz; depends on the application
01:26 schestowitz; some suffer worse from paging
01:26 DaemonFC; I run the laptop without swap because with 16 GB and zram swap, it doesn't ever come close to running out.
01:26 schestowitz; like freezes while scrolling
01:26 DaemonFC; Parts of the OS running in the background not doing a whole lot at the moment seem to get paged out on my laptop.
01:26 schestowitz; DaemonFC: what about misbahving software?
01:26 schestowitz; swap buys you time
01:27 schestowitz; so you can respond and diagnose
01:27 DaemonFC; I haven't encountered any to speak of.

01:33 DaemonFC; schestowitz Microsoft keeps posting things about "Silicon designed for Windows." by Intel and AMD.
01:33 psydruid; so the best and most affordable non-x86 client computers come from China
01:33 DaemonFC; Then it turns out to be a bug-addled disaster that even affects non-Windows users.
01:34 DaemonFC; The US government has a bunch of x86 binaries and it keeps having contractors make more.
01:34 DaemonFC; So they're on the hook to bail them out with whatever they need because they won't stop.

03:27 DaemonFC; schestowitz One of the early LAME developers ended up at Sony. Still getting software patents for them.
03:27 DaemonFC; :P
03:28 DaemonFC; Unclear what the invention actually is in many cases.
03:28 DaemonFC; The usual
03:31 DaemonFC; The patent that GNOME was threatened with was eventually invalidated after a lot of work. And Florian Mueller says this is how things should be, when invalidating one bad patent leaves a billion others.
03:31 DaemonFC; It doesn't really lessen the threat much. There's not enough lawyer hours you can pay for when it's not one patent, but rather dozens, hundreds, or thousands they claim you violated in one piece of software.
03:32 DaemonFC; So you go back to the 1970s and look at my dad's patents, and they actually described what he invented, with a diagram, and an explanation of how it worked.
03:34 DaemonFC; The best way to design a media codec or something, as far as MPEG-LA members are concerned, is do as many patentable things as possible, even if it's just dumb and counterproductive, and then ideally you make it so there's no way around the patent by implementing something in a different way or leaving that function out.

04:02 DaemonFC; Zoom, Discord, and Microsoft Edge are the top crashers on Alan Pope's laptop.
04:02 DaemonFC; I wonder how "sending feedback to Ubuntu" helps solve crashes in Edge since they can't do anything about it because it's a blob.
04:03 MinceR; they could tell him to stop using Idiot Edgesploiter already
04:03 DaemonFC; xserver-xorg-core.....So Alan Pope is at least smart enough to disable Wayland.
04:04 DaemonFC; But uses GNOME. Hmmm.
04:04 DaemonFC; So Tracker, Pipewire, and Wireplumber are all top crashers too. :)
04:04 DaemonFC; They're all garbage.
04:05 DaemonFC; GNOME'S HELL crashes a lot too.
04:05 DaemonFC; GJS is part of that, so we should add them together.
04:05 DaemonFC; "Im somewhat surprised the Zoom number isnt higher, as it feels like the application crashes daily for me."
04:06 DaemonFC; "Zoom crashes for me when I switch workspace while a call is happening, and someone is sharing their screen. Zoom minimizes down to a little window on my new workspace. When I try and pop that back out to a big window, Zoom dies. Its somewhat random, but has happened enough that I do my best not to switch workspaces during calls."
04:06 MinceR; proprietary software sucks, episode 8297369823
04:07 DaemonFC; "I dont know whats going on here as I dont consider myself a power Discord user but have it open all day. I do sometimes notice its not running anymore."

04:08 DaemonFC; Yeah, part of the "chonky" stuff is the spyware that tells Microsoft what you look at, download, type, and everything in memory when it crashed.
04:08 MinceR; "i presume i'm running spyware daily."
04:08 DaemonFC; Including your porn sites and online banking.
04:09 MinceR; whatever floats his bloat, i guess
04:09 DaemonFC; "An honorable mention must go to the crash on 18th January when apport-gtk crashed. The crash reporting tool crashed. Wonderful."
04:09 MinceR; and so surprising
04:10 DaemonFC; Yeah, I've seen crash reporting tools and debuggers crash. Especially GNOME's, ABRT (Fedora, crashes a lot), and gdb.
04:10 DaemonFC; Fedora is so bad that you usually lose the crash reporting tool at some point too.
04:10 MinceR; strange, i haven't seen gdb crash
04:10 DaemonFC; Yeah, it got a little meta when I was fuzz testing WebkitGTK.
04:11 MinceR; ic
04:11 DaemonFC; gdb popped up to analyze the backtrace, crashed, another error reporter popped up offering to backtrace gdb, and crashed.
04:11 DaemonFC; Then I declined to backtrace that one.
04:11 MinceR; lol
04:12 MinceR; maybe there were too many crash reporting tools active
04:12 DaemonFC; MinceR: I did manage to flush out and report 43 bugs in Webkit over a month.
04:12 DaemonFC; So it wasn't all a loss.

04:12 DaemonFC; That was in 2020.
04:13 DaemonFC; Apple usually doesn't fix them, but others seem to.
04:13 DaemonFC; Igalia and Sony fixed more than Apple.
04:14 DaemonFC; The bad code is mostly in Webkit proper, not the GTK port stuff.
04:14 DaemonFC; They did a better job porting it (Igalia) than Apple did writing the thing to be ported.
04:14 MinceR; what even is this "Saved Links" feature in crashium/crashe?
04:15 DaemonFC; Webkit is not terribly secure, but the WebkitGTK people do at least push month security updates quickly.
04:15 DaemonFC; Idk. Maybe it's like Brave's "Reading List"
04:15 DaemonFC; I don't know what that is. It seems to duplicate "bookmarks" maybe?
04:15 MinceR; and what's the "Reading List"?

20:03 DaemonFC; schestowitz It's not really a huge burden on me to change entire distributions other than they've all made somewhat different minor decisions.
20:03 DaemonFC; What's this package called?
20:03 DaemonFC; Things like that.
20:04 DaemonFC; Most of my SPACE HOG files go on the back up drive anyway because you can't have 200 GB of files for one thing on an SSD anyway.
20:04 MinceR; PIGS IN SPACE
20:04 DaemonFC; Yep
20:04 DaemonFC; I was thinking about that when I was making coffee a minute ago.
20:04 DaemonFC; It sounds like openSUSE people aren't confident in this ALP thing.
20:04 DaemonFC; They've already announced another unplanned LEAP as a possibility.
20:05 DaemonFC; And very little Wiki activity about ALP.
20:05 DaemonFC; And the more I read about ALP, the more unsure I am about SUSE.
20:05 DaemonFC; They talk of containers and immutable file systems.
20:05 DaemonFC; Which is not my use case.
20:06 DaemonFC; Debian and Arch seem totally committed to their native package format.
20:06 DaemonFC; One thing that makes me go hmm about Debian KDE is it uses Wayland by default, although for some reason it seems maybe to work a bit better than on Leap.
20:07 MinceR; wasn't that Access Linux Platform?
20:07 DaemonFC; Possibly just newer builds or something.
20:07 MinceR; from another MICROS~1 ally?
20:07 DaemonFC; Advanced Linux Platform or something.
20:07 DaemonFC; No, SUSE is doing ALP and it's rubbing me the wrong way now that I read about it. It sounds like Fedora Silverblue.
20:07 MinceR; well, it's suse
20:08 MinceR; of course it's both crap and evil
20:12 DaemonFC; I'm strongly debating just moving to Debian. Maybe I should have to begin with. I checked it out on my other laptop this morning and it even has actual media codecs now!
20:12 MinceR; not a significant difference
20:12 DaemonFC; Like, I double clicked on some h265 files and they played!
20:12 MinceR; it's still cancerd
20:12 DaemonFC; Yeah, I'm also wondering about going back to Ext4.
20:12 DaemonFC; I used to just set everything up under / and that worked out fine.
20:13 DaemonFC; I could still use zram with zstd. I looked into that on the other laptop. Different process to set up.
20:13 DaemonFC; They have some systemd thing managing it, of course.
20:13 DaemonFC; Debian changed their Wiki on BtrFS.
20:14 DaemonFC; Last I looked it said "BtrFS Compress has another major data loss bug every year."
20:15 DaemonFC; Ext4 is a 64-bit file system when created with modern systems.
20:15 DaemonFC; So you won't run into weird problems like you do on Reiser or something.
20:15 DaemonFC; The closer we get to 2038, the more the problems with Reiser are manifesting themselves.
20:15 DaemonFC; SUSE went with ReiserFS back in the day too.
20:17 DaemonFC; Distributions that won't commit to their native package format are just not terribly helpful.
20:17 DaemonFC; Fedora did BtrFS compress so people with laptops wouldn't scream about Flatpaks everywhere later.

20:20 DaemonFC; Subvolumes mostly make sense to snapshot things, but snapshots build up and cost you a lot of disk space.
20:20 DaemonFC; No problem on an 8 TB hard disk. Problem on a 512 GB SSD.
20:21 DaemonFC; Since Debian's installer makes there be no easy way to set up subvolumes at install time, laptop users may want to just skip this anyway.
20:21 *MinceR gives voice to jacobk
20:21 DaemonFC; Everything is a trade-off though. BtrFS raw file system performance is much worse than Ext4.
20:22 DaemonFC; If you use compression this might be better because the system has less data to read off the storage and write to it.
20:22 DaemonFC; The compression before it hits the disk is handled by the kernel.
20:23 DaemonFC; So if you're a laptop user with an SSD, Debian's installer is a WTF with BtrFS in that it won't make everything a nice neat subvolume for you. But do you really need those?
20:23 MinceR; do you really need deadian?
20:23 MinceR; do you really need cancerd?
20:23 DaemonFC; You can certainly hack away in a console and make them and trick the setup program into using them, if you do it in the right order.
20:24 DaemonFC; But Debian moves slowly and makes conservative choices and tests their upgrade process.
20:24 DaemonFC; So the odds of NEEDING a snapshot to roll back to are small.
20:24 DaemonFC; MinceR: Most BtrFS features don't and shouldn't interest a laptop user.
20:24 DaemonFC; The one feature that might, in my opinion, is built-in compression.
20:35 DaemonFC; schestowitz MinceR "So I went back and selected Manual partitioning, and told it to wipe the data out of the vfat "ESP" (EFI System Partitions use Microsoft FAT32.....meth is a terrible drug) "
20:36 MinceR; well, if your boot firmware isn't shit, you don't need ESP

21:00 DaemonFC; Using BtrFS without subvolumes just greatly uncomplicates matters if you're just a laptop user that browses the Web, plays games and movies, and occasionally ZIPs things and drags them to another drive.
21:00 *psymin has quit (Quit: Leaving)
21:00 *psymin has quit (Quit: Leaving)
21:00 DaemonFC; Unless you need to use snapshots or mount the subvolumes differently and establish quotas independently.
21:01 DaemonFC; If you've been using Ext4 or something, you're probably not doing that anyway.
21:06 DaemonFC; I've always just used compress=zstd:1 and then gone back and done a defrag with -r -czstd
21:07 DaemonFC; I actually looked into this issue and found that the additional compression ratios don't actually compress things that much further even though it goes out to like 15 or something, but what they will do is severely penalize your file system performance. And don't use force compress. Let the driver figure out if a file should just go into the disk compressed or not.
21:07 DaemonFC; It takes forever to compress a "pak" file or something for a game, but you won't actually see any savings because they'd used DEFLATE or LZ4 or something in the file anyway.
21:08 DaemonFC; I tried this out on Windows too. NTFS file compression is primitive and inefficient.
21:08 DaemonFC; It makes no attempt to figure out if something actually compresses so you wait forever and maybe some game binaries deflate a bit, but the rest doesn't.
21:09 DaemonFC; MinceR: "is not in the sudoers file. This incident has been reported to the adminstrator."
21:09 DaemonFC; Nothing like having to become root to adduser to sudo.
21:09 DaemonFC; :/

21:10 DaemonFC; Now that'll teach them not to use sudo without being in the wheel.

23:03 DaemonFC; Debian 12 complain it had no firmware for my sound on the Thinkbook.
23:03 DaemonFC; That should be easily fixed once the system is deployed.
23:04 DaemonFC; Is there some religion in Linux now that I shouldn't have sound even though the WiFi firmware is equally non-Free and so are the graphics?
23:04 DaemonFC; I don't even think this is Firmware Religion. Why include two massive blobs and not sound?

23:07 DaemonFC; Debian isn't terrible to configure these days but it has plenty of WTF moments that just shouldn't be there.
23:08 DaemonFC; 1999 they actually had people making CDs that resulted in a broken system no matter what you did.
23:08 MinceR; matthew MICROS~1 is responsible in part for deadian being as shitty as it is
23:08 DaemonFC; Nobody testd them.
23:08 MinceR; testing is not "modern"
23:08 MinceR; maybe they were ahead of the curve
23:08 DaemonFC; It's possible I would have used Debian in 1999 if the disc hadn't been so bad.
23:08 MinceR; though MICROS~1 wasn't doing any testing before then
23:09 MinceR; and afaict the only "testing" crApple did was to find out that the average member of their target audience is too retarded to tell their fingers apart without looking
23:09 DaemonFC; Oh that's cool.
23:09 DaemonFC; After saying it had no firmware it rebooted and the sound works.
23:10 DaemonFC; Their installer really blows.
23:10 DaemonFC; It needs work.
23:11 MinceR; It Just Needs More Work.
23:11 MinceR; that's how you can tell it's "modern", like a crApple product
23:11 DaemonFC; Are you sure you don't want a SWAP partition? Bad user. Spanky spanky. -Debian
23:12 MinceR; bad command. go sit in the corner.
23:13 DaemonFC; My f key didn't press.
23:13 DaemonFC; I ended up in nano /etc/stab
23:13 DaemonFC; Now that Matthew Garrett is there maybe it'll have one anyway soon.
