[00:00:14] <kyonko2> different sizes, same capacity
[00:00:26] <kyonko2> that is so weird!
[00:00:41] <FatPhil> I remember my first 5MB dartboard
[00:00:56] <kyonko2> hahahahaha
[00:01:13] <kyonko2> I was watching a youtuber talk about how "hard cards" don't work these days
[00:01:19] <kyonko2> wonder what made them so fragile
[00:01:44] <kyonko2> they look cool enough just to have as a paper weight
[00:01:53] <kyonko2> as some are transparent
[00:03:07] <requerdanos> they are cool as a group because some of them are cool looking individually?
[00:04:19] <kyonko2> well, you never know what you are going to get
[00:04:25] <kyonko2> so I'd get them all
[00:04:36] <requerdanos> I've not seen a hard card in many years
[00:04:58] <kyonko2> I never even heard of hard cards as a kid
[00:05:10] <kyonko2> back then you just maxxed out credit cards on computers
[00:06:27] <kyonko2> it required a very.... "annoying" trip to the big city, often
[00:07:06] <kyonko2> egghead computers was the shit, before amazon bought them
[00:07:11] <kyonko2> now we just have SWS computers
[00:07:18] <kyonko2> which has everything for your retro needs
[00:08:07] <kyonko2> I'm not really feeling modern computing and modern anything
[00:08:24] <kyonko2> so if I am limited to 2TB, so be it
[00:08:39] <kyonko2> (but i still have GPT drives, god no, not formatted to NTFS)
[00:09:25] <kyonko2> SWS computers is pro-mask in tucson, az
[00:09:59] <kyonko2> I do worry about gracefully mainting social distance in anti-mask buildings
[00:10:11] <kyonko2> if I do it slowly enough, they won't even retain it in their brain
[00:10:46] <kyonko2> I'm gonna see all the mask and glove litter in the big city, and the men open carry firearms

[01:48:40] <Bytram> raxas: ^^^ does that help?
[01:48:52] <raxas> I call her "architect"
[01:49:06] <raxas> what's teh meanining of "no results"?
[01:50:34] <raxas> and yes, it's good for people to see the timing of video, if I post some 6-9 hours long by error :)
[01:50:39] <Bytram> as I understand it, the bot performs a *search* using the provided string, on YouTube. No results means just that -- the search came up empty.
[02:01:51] <raxas> that strategy of search is poor. the search may result in unwanted content (it's unfix, functionally). the bot should take the complete url as a fixpoint already
[02:02:04] <raxas> typical overengineering
[02:07:42] <raxas> example: let some video has an id of abcdefghijk. current search method will find it. but if someone makes another video _named_ abcdefghijk, different id, which one the bot finds?
[02:08:21] <raxas> so this is a logical type sploit by unfix on url
[02:41:58] <kyonko2> search is actually harder than it looks
[02:42:13] <kyonko2> I used to remember back in the mid 2000's.... how is google so fast?
[02:42:24] <kyonko2> and what if "google" could be inside my OS?
[02:42:43] <kyonko2> well thats exactly what chromeos and android IS
[03:37:42] <raxas> google search is "special". it is constructed for providing guarantees of _not_ returning certain wanted results
[03:38:10] <raxas> in my worldview, taht's antithesis to search
[03:39:15] <raxas> "unsearch <symbol>" type
[03:41:15] <kyonko2> hasn't happened to me, yet
[03:41:25] <kyonko2> google was, and still is, the best for I.T.
[03:41:42] <kyonko2> maybe not for finding out about photolithography, but for I.T. its got all the answers
[03:42:06] <kyonko2> of course, using google to get windows 10 to barely work, is a waste of your time
[03:42:20] <kyonko2> you will get windows 10 to work, barely, and your time, is not coming back
[03:43:09] <raxas> I probed google with specific keyword set, mostly related to scalar technology. for twenty years, I observed how internets is being gradually veiled from people
[03:44:33] <raxas> today, you absolutely will not find by google anything what's not approved by cia

[03:49:36] <systemd> ^ 03Unreal Engine 5 City Environment
[03:49:51] <kyonko2> of course

[03:57:23] <systemd> ✓* Sub-ccess! "08‘How is It Even Possible?’ Russia Asks OPCW After Report Claims Team Was Sent to Germany the Sam" (16p) -> https://soylentnews.org
[03:57:41] <kyonko2> is OPCW like OSCE?
[03:58:04] <kyonko2> and why are chemical weapons any more heinous than the torture mexicans do to each other?
[03:58:15] <raxas> worse
[03:58:44] <kyonko2> life goes on, but it won't be, considering what happened in 2020
[03:59:14] <kyonko2> organization of security and cooperation in europe
[03:59:18] <kyonko2> its the ceasefire group in the ukraine
[03:59:48] <kyonko2> organization for prohibition of chemical weapons..... they say you can't do that.... in war
[04:00:02] <kyonko2> people tend to be afraid enough of the bang and zip of a bullet anyway
[04:00:39] <raxas> when western agencies subvert international organizations for their own goals, it destroys the trust for everyone
[04:01:56] <raxas> we are heading to war, day by day, led by idiots
[04:08:03] <kyonko2> the last war
[04:08:23] <kyonko2> most normal people were to busy getting rich and curing disease to worry about human extinction
[04:08:29] <kyonko2> this was the 1950's
[04:08:42] <kyonko2> penicillin, YAY, jonas salk, YAY
[04:09:01] <kyonko2> ammonia and phosphate fertilization of soil, YAY
[04:09:23] <kyonko2> and like the epic of gilgamesh, each stupid bitch had her madonna complex that they were going to birth the next christ
[04:10:36] <kyonko2> i mean, whore of babylon
[04:10:54] <kyonko2> i mean, its all been done before, only they couldn't comit species suicide
[04:14:36] <kyonko2> even more so than species suicide, more like extinction of any life forms past a certain evolutionary point
[04:14:47] <kyonko2> GOOD NEWS LADS: GMO BACTERIA AND VIRUS
[05:30:34] <raxas> speaking of that, some russian gnostics claim they discovered where exactly the demiurge is harbored by western cultists and that their government is willing to destroy him, this time for good
[05:31:19] <raxas> final opportunity
[05:33:20] <raxas> and if the daoist spirit masters join this quest, they may even succeed
[05:33:46] <raxas> I blessed them all
[05:35:13] <kyonko2> well... that would sound quite binary then
[05:35:22] <kyonko2> 2025 is the kali yuga
[05:37:30] <kyonko2> the majority of gurus agree, the kali yuga is coming
[05:37:39] <kyonko2> except for 1, I'm trying to recall him
[05:38:09] <kyonko2> I'm surprised how calm indians are due to delta plus double good good

[05:38:46] <systemd> ^ 03The Holy Science - Wikipedia
[05:38:56] <kyonko2> he is of the opinion that kali yuga has passed
[05:39:09] <kyonko2> and you will find many testimonials from actual indians that is true
[05:39:09] <raxas> virus does almost no damage to india, at 2.5% of vaccinated population only
[05:39:39] <kyonko2> minority belief that kali yuga has passed
[05:39:55] <kyonko2> i'm of the belief kali yuga is coming
[05:40:21] <raxas> india has much better death rate than czech republic. more power in their gods, I say

[05:41:39] <kyonko2> check out the indian math/1
[05:42:58] <raxas> I know their math, we call that "indian numbers" in hyperoperations theory
[05:43:09] <raxas> a slang
[05:43:18] <kyonko2> how is the place value in that?
[05:44:24] <raxas> you need hyperlogarithms to understand that. begin with zeration, the very first operation
[05:45:36] <raxas> addition is the next, so-called "first" operation
[05:46:58] <kyonko2> jesus, this is typical oriental backwards thinking
[05:46:59] <raxas> at tetration (above exponentiaton), you start to understand everything you was taught at school is a lie
[05:47:22] <kyonko2> i can't become any more eastern
[05:47:48] <raxas> and there is an infinite hiearachy of hyperoperations above that
[05:47:48] <kyonko2> but they all like sex
[05:47:55] <kyonko2> orientals like sex
[05:48:21] <kyonko2> I wouldn't fall for sex with someone i can't understand their language
[05:49:21] <raxas> your mind is now under attack by a daemona to prevent you to grasp important math
[05:49:52] <kyonko2> I am scared of the hard work

[06:00:51] <kyonko2> isn't ftp the best in security?

[06:01:11] <kyonko2> I recall wordpress worked with it
[06:01:20] <kyonko2> thats a can of worms I really need to look into

[07:17:44] <kyonko2> Does the pentagon care if nuclear war happens?
[07:33:56] <raxas> basically, they are scared of (people not scared enough to throw them money as they did)
[07:35:47] <raxas> such situation categorizes pentagon as cult
[07:37:28] <raxas> but they are too busy to find proper pronouns for use in future combat
[09:32:00] <FatPhil> nuclear threats justify the pentagon's budgets, they're incentivised to make things sound bad.
[10:01:24] <raxas> they just lost a war against tribal bandits wearing rags and towels. no budget wins the war, people do

[12:10:35] <raxas> and he was most probably an actual counselor to rodenberry, because he made it into the storyline

[12:15:03] <Bytram> raxas: When I was in college, I took a class called "Fundamentals of Mathematics". We started with the Peano Postulates ( https://en.wikipedia.org ). Then, adding axioms, theorems, and proofs eventually worked our way through deriving: Natural Numbers, Whole Numbers, Integers, Rational Numbers, Irrational Numbers, and Complex Numbers! There was something else after that which involved Ackerman's Function, but the details
[12:15:03] <Bytram> escape me at the moment. What a *fun* class! It tied together, in one cohesive whole, all that I had been taught about Mathematics over the prior 16 years! =)

[12:19:39] <FatPhil> raxas: that link says he was written into a non-canon work in 2019.
[12:19:52] <FatPhil> that really doesn't say "most probably an actual counselor to rodenberry, because he made it into the storyline" to me.
[12:21:02] <raxas> he is still alive, ask him
[12:22:16] <Bytram> Mind you, at this point I'd taken Calculus 1, 2, and 3; Linear Algebra; Intro to Differential Equations; Advanced Calculus; and Complex Numbers with Applications (integrals over complex numbers)... and there were still several pages of "math" classes in the course catalog! THAT was humbling!
[12:26:23] <Bytram> and all that was ~40 years ago. I'm grateful for the education, but so far have not had to directly use anything beyond trigonometry and (simple) linear algebra. But, having studied the later courses, I'm certain it has given me a different perspective on things than I would have had without it.

[17:16:15] <requerdanos> I assume x. Planning to install debian stable.
[17:17:15] <chromas> kde's lighter now although the default style is kind of a win10 ripoff, especially the taskbar buttons
[17:17:22] <Runaway1956> Idea for you: If xfce is so terribly messed up, but you would prefer not to start all over - you might uninstall xfce, purge it, then reinstall it
[17:17:34] <Runaway1956> Maybe you already tried that - it's just an idea
[17:17:48] <requerdanos> well, my apt database is hosed as well.
[17:17:51] <raxas> I use fluxbox on desktops since 2011, my customization of it survived transfer from linux to freebsd in 2015. heavy keyboard control and trackball only for browser or drawing
[17:18:39] <Runaway1956> so, long story short, chromas - no karman ghia prize?
[17:19:25] <Runaway1956> I tried fluxbox, but all the corners were round
[17:19:57] <Runaway1956> Worse, every corner had a different radius
[17:20:03] <chromas> I don't know what that is. the internet says it's a car
[17:20:18] <raxas> lol you had about 200 other styles in default configuration to select
[17:21:39] <Runaway1956> I kinda assumed that there were karman ghias parked at the karman line, waiting to be claimed as prizes
[17:22:16] <chromas> ah. I thought maybe you were expecting him to shove a car out into space like that other guy
[17:22:36] <raxas> every distro has it for ages, you can try it by just "exec /usr/local/bin/fluxbox" or similar into user's .xinitrc
[17:22:54] <chromas> the video stream might've beat elon's record for circlejerky though
[17:23:00] <Runaway1956> Yeah, that would be a neat trick, but Karman Ghias aren't rated for interplanetary travel

[17:24:35] <Runaway1956> just watch those cute angles
[17:26:36] <raxas> pick a style with sharp corners then. or better, design your personal style
[17:27:22] <requerdanos> I really sort of expect a sane, usability-oriented style to already be designed and chosen...
[17:27:58] <raxas> the most worthy part is configurable keyboard macros and menusystem
[17:28:13] <raxas> and, most importantly, no icons
[17:28:40] <raxas> and by no icons I mean, no icons
[17:28:57] <chromas> no icons; only emojis
[17:29:04] <chromas> 💩
[17:30:07] <raxas> well, 99% of my windows is urxvt/tmux, remaining 1% is firefox
[17:30:58] <raxas> or mplayer
[17:31:10] <chromas> sounds like you need a tiling wm
[17:32:19] <raxas> no. I have good macros to adaptively snap or shuffle my windows. I do not want 250 windows tiled...
[17:37:24] <raxas> example of how to switch to selected window: Ondesktop Mod4 F1 :Exec /bin/sh -c "wmctrl -i -a `wmctrl -lpxF | grep -v Conky | dmenu -l 12 | cut -b 1-10`"
[17:40:46] <raxas> clickety desktops are for weak. it is much slower to do anything by clicking than it is by keyboard

[17:46:01] <FatPhil> I was at Samsung when they were buying up lots of E shit.
[17:46:13] <Bytram> Ubuntu Mate is seriously lacking in that capability; at least is the (mostly?) default config I'm running with... and CUA was *consistent* through *all* programs, too!
[17:46:16] <FatPhil> Karsten somebody?
[17:47:21] <requerdanos> wmctrl is awesome
[17:47:37] <chromas> well mate's a fork of gnome 2 and gnome 2 was gnome 3 right before full retard

[21:11:22] <kyonko2> I haven't tried MATE, but I expect the same KDE 3.5 shit storm that was
[21:12:08] <kyonko2> I remember mandrake linux in the mid 2000's was the shit
[21:12:37] <kyonko2> and chromeos has a very buggy UI
[21:12:41] <kyonko2> even with updates
[21:12:59] <kyonko2> thats something mac os x didn't have
[21:13:06] <kyonko2> but whatever, mac is dead
[21:19:34] <chromas> kde 3.5's still alive in the form of tde
[21:38:50] <kyonko2> good
[21:39:02] <kyonko2> but only people who use TDE do everything CLI in terminal
[21:39:26] <kyonko2> I'm surprised termux is even a thing on android, lets you get a feel for being root-less
[21:39:32] <chromas> no TRUE nerd uses a gui
[21:39:36] <kyonko2> doesn't it feel good not to be root?
[21:39:44] <kyonko2> what is TRUE nerd?
[21:41:46] <kyonko2> the big turn off in android and chromeos is that they force you to use gmail
[21:42:06] <kyonko2> and then you find people who deny this is even a thing, they deny they use android and have a gmail
[21:42:38] <kyonko2> i've heard you can get windows 10 working without an outlook account
[21:42:43] <chromas> you don't have to use google soyvices. just use an aosp distro
[21:42:52] <kyonko2> I have 2FA on microsoft, its the strangest 2FA I have ever used
[21:43:34] <kyonko2> 2FA on microsoft is on their own drum beat
[21:43:47] <kyonko2> doesnt make me feel secure
[21:51:32] <kyonko2> its the only 2FA that remembers your router's ip address
[21:51:56] <kyonko2> so as long as you come in from the same router, no 2FA is asked again
[21:52:06] <kyonko2> different computer, same router, no 2FA
[21:52:25] <kyonko2> and they don't tell you this is going on either, so you just have to guess why 2FA isn't on

[22:29:10] <requerdanos> Well, Plasma was not a successful experiment (exploded into corrupted desktop and menus almost at once) but the reinstall fixed xfce so all is good there.
[22:29:27] <chromas> bad memory?
[22:29:54] <requerdanos> No, I think it's because I use the free nouveau drivers which plasma doesn't seem to like
[22:29:54] <chromas> if everything keeps dying, maybe hardware is the asshole

[23:08:51] <Runaway1956> One of the things I love about *nix in general is - I have files on my desktop from 10 or 12 years ago, and half dozen new installs
[23:09:19] <Runaway1956> If Winbloze allowed you to make separate home partitions and drives, they could almost compete with *nix
[23:09:25] <requerdanos> Yep, I was back up and running pretty quickly.
[23:10:55] <chromas> You can change your home/media/downloads folders in windows
[23:11:03] <chromas> or mount an hdd as your folder
[23:11:37] <chromas> it's hidden away in the computer management console but you can mount disks as folders instead of using drive lettres
[23:12:06] <Runaway1956> Is non-intuitive though, Winders by default uses all of C: and wipes everything in the process
