Tue 19:10:23 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ "A lawsuit pushed by a right-wing legal shop in order to make life more difficult for LGBTQ adults and students in Pennsylvania has hit a snag. The judge has admonished the lawyers for submitting a brief filled with errors. “Who wrote it?” Commonwealth Court Judge Matthew Wolf questioned attorney Tom King. “And does it contain AI, artificial intelligence hallucinations?”
Tue 19:10:23 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Wolf noted problems with numerous citation errors, including misquotes and quotes that don’t exist. King filed an application for relief in order to have a chance to file a corrected brief; as of January 9, it appears the court has not yet decided whether to allow the attorneys to fix their mistakes."
Tue 19:12:29 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ No, not only should they not be allowed to fix it, they should be fined $50,000 for every citation in it that doesn't exist.

Tue 19:18:34 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ MinceR, The silicone sex lube problem has reminded me of Seinfeld.
Tue 19:18:57 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ The episode where Elaine finds one pharmacy left that has a box of birth control sponges and buys the entire box.
Tue 19:19:29 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Then she figures out a "sponge-worthy" test and says she can only have sex a few dozen more times until she reaches menopause presumably.
Tue 19:20:55 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contraceptive_sponge
Tue 19:21:06 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ "The sponge’s effectiveness is 91% if used perfectly by women who have never given birth, and 80% if used perfectly by women who have given birth at least once. Since it is hard to use the sponge perfectly every time having vaginal sex, its real effectiveness can be lower, and it is advised to combine sponges with other birth control methods, like withdrawal of penis before ejaculation or condoms.[4] "
Tue 19:21:26 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ In other words, you can't trust the sponge to be your only birth control mechanism anyway.
Tue 19:21:41 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Neither the sponge nor "pulling out" necessarily protect against STIs.
Tue 19:22:10 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ And the sponge alone is only 91% effective or 80% effective, depending on whether the woman has given birth.
Tue 19:22:35 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ I guess the lower effectiveness in women who have given birth means that it never does "go back to normal".
Tue 19:22:38 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Ouch.
Tue 19:24:29 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ MinceR, I just noticed something.
Tue 19:24:52 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ My new Chase Amazon Visa has the same last four numbers as the one that went into bankruptcy.
Tue 19:25:48 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ can that be abused?
Tue 19:26:18 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Not really.
Tue 19:26:36 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ It's a 16 digit number and the 12 others and the CVV and the expiration date are all different.
Tue 19:27:46 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ Chase Visas can start with six sets of the first four digits.
Tue 19:27:59 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ So that's less randomness.
Tue 19:28:29 │ 〖Isambard_Prince〗 │ But the 8 digits in the middle, CVV, expiration date, billing ZIP code, and a set of first four that have six possibilities is sufficiently random.

Wed 00:10:23 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ so, not like systemd, then
Wed 00:19:26 │ 〖nobody〗 │ i've tested and patched linux-2.4 a tad bit
Wed 00:20:02 │ 〖nobody〗 │ it got sata/ahci support confirmed now, i've backported one usb-ethernet dongle to it, a little grsec
Wed 00:20:15 │ 〖nobody〗 │ and, almost forget, NPTL patchset rebased onto
Wed 00:20:30 │ 〖nobody〗 │ and, it can be compiled/linked with tinycc
Wed 00:20:55 │ 〖nobody〗 │ https://codeberg.org/aggi/linux-tcc
Wed 00:21:53 │ 〖nobody〗 │ i've backported musl-libc onto it, and a complete userspace of most recent software versions, 500ebuilds are done
Wed 00:22:16 │ 〖nobody〗 │ passed testing compile-time/cross-compilation and runtime testing with a complete self-hosting compilation since recently
Wed 00:22:27 │ 〖nobody〗 │ it contains _all_ required devevelopment utilities too
Wed 00:23:26 │ 〖nobody〗 │ i've begun git-tag and sign various repositories, to prepare for a TinyCC/Linux release v0.1
Wed 00:24:20 │ 〖nobody〗 │ to my knowledge, nowadays it is the _only_ complete GNUish/POSIX remaining known to compile with an alternative toolchain
Wed 00:25:14 │ 〖nobody〗 │ i mean it, it's not been just talking and complaining, i've forked all of it driven by tinycc and a linux-2.4 kernel
Wed 00:25:51 │ 〖nobody〗 │ hardware support is decent, in comparison to other niche kernels (minix, fiwix, hurd whatever)
Wed 00:26:11 │ 〖nobody〗 │ and it's fully detangled from GNU/gcc toolchain (or llvm/clang/rust for that matter)
Wed 00:27:15 │ 〖nobody〗 │ the whole approach of vendor-neutral toolchain-portability is documented here:
Wed 00:27:17 │ 〖nobody〗 │ http://tinyfront.mooo.com/docs.html
Wed 00:30:24 │ 〖nobody〗 │ i got some runtime-performance testing data too, comparing highly optimized gcc emitted binary with tinycc emitted ones
Wed 00:30:51 │ 〖nobody〗 │ long story short with regards to this, runtime performance penalty with tinycc is negligible
Wed 00:31:28 │ 〖nobody〗 │ from a practical standpoint, other than posting benches at phoronix
Wed 00:32:08 │ 〖nobody〗 │ meaning this, with either gcc or tinycc the complete distribution can be compiled 100% from source in less than a half a day
Wed 00:33:13 │ 〖nobody〗 │ full cross-compilation support, static-linking support
Wed 00:34:32 │ 〖nobody〗 │ it's portable towards either linux2 or linux5 sysv kernel abi
Wed 00:34:50 │ 〖nobody〗 │ portable towards and with either gcc and of cause tinycc
Wed 00:35:20 │ 〖nobody〗 │ it too can be spawn from bootstrappable.org dependency chain
Wed 00:35:32 │ 〖nobody〗 │ little surprising, it's too a tinycc driven one
Wed 00:36:21 │ 〖nobody〗 │ i've been hacking this almost three years, to make it work(tm)
Wed 00:36:51 │ 〖nobody〗 │ who would have thought, linux-2.4 could be a real fun one still, to fork
Wed 00:37:21 │ 〖nobody〗 │ no systemd, no rust, no uefi, no c++, no BS
Wed 00:37:49 │ 〖nobody〗 │ i've not yet announced at LKML, maybe i should? what you think?
Wed 00:37:54 │ 〖nobody〗 │ for the lols
Wed 00:40:22 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ depends on whether you mind being flamed
Wed 00:41:06 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ as that's the most likely outcome, imo
Wed 00:41:38 │ 〖nobody〗 │ flamed for what? linux-2.4 had been a decent kernel, surprisingly it still is 20years later since when it first appeared
Wed 00:42:46 │ 〖nobody〗 │ i'm not opposed to a kernel-update either, it's just i can't yet support any later version with tinycc (or other alternative toolchains)
Wed 00:43:10 │ 〖nobody〗 │ and for mentioned reasons, i have no desire, i'm in no hurry at all to upgrade to the latest greatest
Wed 00:44:11 │ 〖nobody〗 │ it's not been linux-2.4 either i finally blocked at and decided to quit, it's been linux-5.9/5.10 series which was the LAST one ever picked
Wed 00:44:40 │ 〖nobody〗 │ http://tinyfront.mooo.com/docs.html#Kernel
Wed 00:45:04 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ for using a kernel that is not new (or as they would say, not "modern")
Wed 00:45:22 │ 〖MinceR〗 │ and in general, refusing a boatload of "modern" things, including sacred cows like uefi and rust
Wed 00:46:22 │ 〖nobody〗 │ for that matter, it's not been UEFI mainly which pissed me off, it's the agenda to phase-out real-mode boot
Wed 00:46:53 │ 〖nobody〗 │ and, it's not been rust-lang, but the transitive dependency towards c++ compilers introduced far earlier with linux-5.8 iirc
Wed 00:48:51 │ 〖nobody〗 │ hence, with linux-2.4/tinycc, at least i could salvage a powerful development host independent from this
