[04:46:22] <progo> was wondering at first if my laptop was getting ready to catch fire
[04:46:35] <chromas> it's Jersey. Nobody's going to notice the smell; the noise floor's too high

[09:15:02] <chromas> welp, just bitchslapped hot drink all over my keyboard
[09:15:15] <chromas> the lord™ wants me to upgrayyd I guess
[09:15:47] <kyonko`> was it a fancy expensive kbd?
[09:16:06] <chromas> overpriced but no. just a simple ms ergo 4k
[09:16:24] <kyonko`> microsoft?
[09:16:31] <chromas> aye
[09:16:36] <kyonko`> usb?
[09:16:44] <chromas> sì
[09:16:55] <kyonko`> they still make them or is this new old stock?
[09:17:34] <chromas> not sure. I see them on amazon as new. this one I got from storage at a local business
[09:17:43] <kyonko`> is it wireless?
[09:18:14] <chromas> I've been watching keyboard videos and thinking about building one with all the F-keys plus a bunch more macro keys. like a 160% keyboard
[09:18:20] <chromas> no
[09:18:36] <kyonko`> I've been watching IBM PC videos
[09:18:48] <kyonko`> 640k ought to be enough for anybody
[09:18:54] <chromas> Now I'm using an old unbranded thing that needs its squishy keys lubed but at least it's got a BIGass enter key
[09:19:07] <kyonko`> Oh the pc jr chiclet kbd
[09:19:41] <chromas> the sticker says SolidTek but I can see some top text rubbed off that said something like "Haute"
[09:20:04] <kyonko`> if you ever get into retro computing, don't waste your time and money with anything older than ibm pc at (i286)
[09:20:43] <kyonko`> I think "Haute" made uh.... video capture cards and tv tuners
[09:20:53] <kyonko`> or was that Hauppage?
[09:20:58] <chromas> no retroputing for me, but I do like the old keycaps. modern oem/cherry profile caps are the big gay
[09:21:04] <kyonko`> lol
[09:21:06] <chromas> yeah hauppage
[09:21:11] <kyonko`> no retrocomputing?
[09:21:25] <kyonko`> 8086 was 16-bit, way better than the NES
[09:21:33] <chromas> I wonder if this was misprinted or something so they rubbed it out
[09:21:54] <kyonko`> given that windows 3.1 needs 16 bits to work
[09:21:56] <chromas> 8086 didn't have donkey kong country
[09:22:22] <kyonko`> ibm pc was 8088, more ghetto, more useless
[09:22:58] <kyonko`> but pc at is where the modern computer begins anyway
[09:23:10] <kyonko`> along with the 1984 mac
[09:23:44] <kyonko`> I guess an ibm pc was cool with a modem to dial up a vax with bsd
[09:23:59] <kyonko`> using vi and shit
[09:27:09] <kyonko`> how many "slash" sites are there?
[09:31:32] <chromas> three
[09:31:45] <kyonko`> how come I haven't heard of the 3rd one?
[09:33:21] <chromas> it was before your time
[09:33:26] <chromas> looks like it died in 2018
[09:35:37] <chromas> we're mentioned on the wikipedia page with a bunch of {{citation}} templates
[09:36:16] <kyonko`> before my time?
[09:36:22] <kyonko`> oh before I came in this server

[09:37:55] <kyonko`> i blame 2008
[09:39:01] <chromas> Yeah, we should stop the War on Drugs™ and start exploiting central & south america for their resources and ability to manufacture things
[09:39:12] <chromas> make our own local East Asia

[09:40:30] <chromas> did anybody even still watch the olympics?
[09:40:37] <kyonko`> (mean while all the indians I know on facebook and instgram.....)
[09:40:49] <kyonko`> olympics are only for health nazis
[09:40:56] <kyonko`> a few mexicans get in every year
[09:41:05] <kyonko`> one of them is now a corrupt politician
[09:41:40] <kyonko`> a lot of mexican olympians were underage
[09:41:48] <kyonko`> isn't that weird?
[09:43:16] <kyonko`> isn't not weird at all, its just human hubris
[09:43:28] <chromas> maybe they're just advanced for their age, like those Chinese four-year-olds that play the guitar

[09:52:07] <kyonko`> https://i.imgur.com
[09:54:01] <kyonko`> i think gore sites killed barrapunto
[09:54:38] <chromas> or using ancient software nobody wanted to work on
[09:55:27] <kyonko`> oh like bsd and linux
[09:56:04] <kyonko`> I did not know slashdot.org was named because of http:// /. .org
[09:56:08] <kyonko`> jfc
[09:56:13] <kyonko`> all these years and I never got it
[09:56:27] <inz> you needed to say it out loud to get it
[09:56:30] <kyonko`> I thought it was because of the unix file system directory
[09:56:37] <kyonko`> like . and .. and ./ and /.
[09:57:01] <kyonko`> it would have been said "just go to slashdot.org"
[09:57:21] <kyonko`> or if slashdot.org was a webmail providor, example.name@slashdot.org
[09:57:25] <chromas> yeah but back then people were even still using www.

[20:49:27] * AzumaHazuki has come to the conclusion that most humans, and certainly most Americans, are unwilling or unable to filter their media intake and have no working BS detectors
[20:51:24] <FatPhil> I think it's because you were started on a drip feed many many decades ago, and your parents' generation didn't even know it was hooked on noise, there was no way you could be prepared to defend yourself against it.
[20:52:06] <AzumaHazuki> i seem pretty well able to defend myself but the sheer volume is overwhelming
[20:52:27] <FatPhil> the "soap" operas were the watershed probably.
[20:52:32] <AzumaHazuki> it feels like i survived a zombie apocalypse where the zombies won and instituted their own zombie government and zombie banks and zombie corporations
[20:52:42] <AzumaHazuki> in that situation, who's the "zombie" really?
[20:52:49] <FatPhil> CONSUME!

[21:38:15] <Sulla> In general very difficult for younger generations to not just be mindless consumers. Along with the instant gratification from social media "news" they were not taught by their boomer parents how to repair things. There is a large section of the population that can only consume
[21:47:18] <Runaway1956> It would appear that the "don't be a dick" rule has been shelved
[21:47:32] <Runaway1956> Not only does Aristarchus impersonate me on IRC
[21:48:02] <Runaway1956> but now we are accepting his submissions made while impersonating me for publication on the front page

[21:48:29] <progo> sounds like Freenode, the past week
[21:48:33] <Runaway1956> To be clear, there is no "Runawayxxxx"
[21:49:08] <progo> people were accusing the winner of the freenode coup of taking over channels that moved off-network, and presenting them as official project channels
[21:49:11] <Runaway1956> If the "don't be a dick" rule no longer applies, I can start being a dick?
[21:50:41] <progo> go for it
[21:50:44] <Runaway1956> In which case, I remind everyone that I registered Aristarchus on IRC first, and I want it back
[21:50:45] <progo> just don't let it make YOU miserable
[21:51:03] <progo> I'm going to get junk food. bye

[22:02:50] * chromas fixes the irc shitposting by banning everyone
[22:03:01] <chromas> /ban *!*@*
[22:03:28] <Sulla> soon as my mIRC trial expires i'll be banning myself
[22:05:05] <chromas> If you want a graphical client full of scripty goodness you can also try kvirc but it's a bit of an uggo
[22:05:42] <Sulla> Na i'll just be gone. Only got on the IRC as a way to discuss keyboard autism with Hemo anyways
[22:05:47] <Sulla> And he's already long gone
[22:07:45] <chromas> :'(

[22:11:09] <FatPhil> I just use the web interface, it's perfectly functional for just joining, shitposting, and leaving
[22:11:25] <Sulla> web interface hasn't been workign for me for like a month
[22:11:53] <Sulla> yeah just says cannot connect to remote server
[22:18:34] <FatPhil> bizarre - that should be looked at.
[22:19:20] <chromas> been meaning to replace it. like most stuff we're using the software's abandoned
[22:21:13] <FatPhil> a web/irc CGI gateway shouldn't be too hard to impliment
[22:21:25] <chromas> there's a few
[22:21:31] <chromas> but then you've gotta pick which one to use
[22:22:19] <chromas> I think Deucalion decided on one but then an out of time to work on it
[22:24:30] <Sulla> i figure if web client works for others i'm not gonna complain too much
[22:36:03] <chromas> Speaking of keyboards, how's yours?
[22:42:20] <Sulla> Currenlty waiting on hemo
[22:42:42] <Sulla> We got final measurements so as he has time he is cutting the adapters and then will cnc the plates
[22:43:03] <chromas> cool!
[22:43:12] <Sulla> i'll post the sample plate pictures
[22:47:06] <Sulla> https://ibb.co
[22:47:07] <systemd> ^ 03IMG-20210525-154552-125
[22:47:12] <Sulla> top and bottom of plate, just two diff materials
[22:47:41] <Sulla> the keyboard plate will just be open rows horizontal for " ` " to " page up " and then vertical for the numpad
[22:48:14] <Sulla> will be super easy to solder the switches by just sliding them out of the way of the iron, then I can glue them in place once i make sure all the keycaps fit even
[22:49:13] <chromas> Are you doing an ortholinear layout?
[22:52:18] <Sulla> no
[22:52:24] <Sulla> except for numpad as god intended
