| DaemonFC | It's not exactly reasonable to remain compatible with old buggy compilers that need special workarounds, which nobody is even testing, and are unsupported upstream. | May 01 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| DaemonFC | Haiku 64-bit has no compatibility with legacy BeOS. | May 01 00:02 |
| DaemonFC | The 32-bit version is tricky to build. For compatibility with BeOS, it has to be compiled with a version of GCC that's about 20 years old. | May 01 00:02 |
| DaemonFC | It is hard to imagine what legacy BeOS software anyone would want to run since it was never a very popular system. | May 01 00:03 |

| matey | its a goal from another era | May 01 00:34 |
| matey | compatibility as a feature was a big deal in the 80s | May 01 00:35 |

| matey | impressed and somewhat shocked | May 01 00:38 |

| matey | and naturally, the kfc in britain has better chips than the american ones do | May 01 00:38 |
| psydruid | and then it's time to let go | May 01 00:38 |
| matey | i dont think compatibility is such a bad thing | May 01 00:38 |
| psydruid | oh, I didn't know | May 01 00:39 |
| matey | i mean sometimes its a drag | May 01 00:39 |
| matey | and other times its great | May 01 00:39 |
| matey | i dont know if theres a hard rule here | May 01 00:39 |
| matey | i think it depends on what is meant by compatibility too | May 01 00:40 |
| matey | because systemd isnt being held back by compatibility, its simply destroying everything it touches | May 01 00:40 |
| psydruid | nowadays you mainly want to be compatible with what goes for "free software" despite all the negatives associated with the (by itself positive) term | May 01 00:41 |
| matey | if your goal is to emulate the nes for example | May 01 00:41 |
| matey | thats a worthwhile goal imo | May 01 00:41 |
| matey | even though i dont personally give a shit about the nes | May 01 00:42 |
| psydruid | sure, because you want to play those games | May 01 00:42 |

| matey | then again i think people should USUALLY avoid installing wine | May 01 00:43 |
| psydruid | I could see that being important to some people | May 01 00:43 |
| matey | but why beos wants it so much as a builtin | May 01 00:43 |
| matey | that i dont know | May 01 00:43 |

| matey | or someone gave them money dogeared for that to be implemented | May 01 00:44 |

| matey | there was a time, in the past 17 years, where you could make SOME money if you were very proficient at quickbasic | May 01 00:46 |
| matey | because people still had point of sale machines based on it | May 01 00:46 |
| matey | so to maintain them they needed someone who could code in qb | May 01 00:46 |
| matey | or they had to buy all new machines | May 01 00:47 |

| psydruid | I ran haiku on a low-end laptop for a year but it was a bit buggy and an update broke hardware support, so I got rid of it | May 01 00:49 |

| matey | the machines are more than 100 years old | May 01 00:49 |
| matey | and if they break down, they have someone come in and repair them | May 01 00:50 |
| matey | it was a bit buggy and an update broke hardware support, so I got rid of it <- yeah i mean, i have no use for it. i think its even github-based | May 01 00:50 |

| matey | it has a certain charm but thats about it | May 01 00:51 |
| matey | farther along than reactos but at least as niche | May 01 00:52 |
| psydruid | the only thing haiku and reactos can teach us is how to be nimble with resources, because that seems like a lost art | May 01 00:53 |
| matey | i dont think reactos can even do that | May 01 00:54 |
| matey | i mean start with a 20 year old system | May 01 00:54 |
| matey | then implement half of it | May 01 00:54 |
| matey | of course its going to be light on resources | May 01 00:54 |
| matey | but that doesnt mean ntkerne was light on resources at the time | May 01 00:55 |
| matey | nt was a beast | May 01 00:55 |

| matey | it started in 1995... | May 01 00:55 |
| matey | implement half of it :) | May 01 00:55 |
| matey | but i mean, baphos already does that, so | May 01 00:56 |
| matey | et voila | May 01 00:56 |
| matey | and even if theres a hint of sarcasm here, i dont think its the stupidest idea in the world to do this | May 01 00:56 |
| matey | but it has tradeoffs, big ones | May 01 00:57 |
| matey | so do ros and haiki | May 01 00:57 |
| matey | haiku | May 01 00:57 |
| matey | im not sure theyre doing anything special in this regard though. maybe they are | May 01 00:57 |

| matey | i dont want to give money to the people selling them | May 01 01:00 |
| psydruid | I noticed it was looking for a connection to the mother ship at night | May 01 01:00 |
| matey | of course ill be a tv WITHOUT a mic and camera from the same people, so im not entirely sure what point im making | May 01 01:00 |
| psydruid | I didn't buy it, but I used it for that time | May 01 01:01 |
| matey | though im willing to stick with it until i get a better idea | May 01 01:01 |
| matey | the other thing is | May 01 01:01 |
| matey | wifi | May 01 01:01 |
| psydruid | I've only ever bought computer monitors | May 01 01:01 |
| matey | yeah | May 01 01:01 |
| matey | i mean if it wont play on a computer monitor | May 01 01:01 |
| matey | i probably dont need to play it | May 01 01:01 |
| matey | and with monitors that do hdmi now... | May 01 01:02 |
| matey | i mean this one does hsmi | May 01 01:03 |
| matey | hdmi | May 01 01:03 |
| psydruid | there is a bug/feature with widevine drm in combination with browsers | May 01 01:03 |
| matey | i havent tried using it as a tv because i dont own any tuners or blu-ray stuff | May 01 01:03 |
| matey | actually i think i might have a blu-ray for a pc, ive never used it | May 01 01:03 |
| psydruid | if you go full screen the screen becomes black | May 01 01:03 |
| matey | there is a bug/feature with widevine drm <- i wont buy dvds (so far at least) that include widevine as an option | May 01 01:04 |
| psydruid | unless you haven't maximized the window first | May 01 01:04 |
| matey | not because of any other reason than | May 01 01:04 |
| matey | i dont want to give money to the company offering it | May 01 01:04 |
| matey | i used to get dvds at the library | May 01 01:04 |
| matey | and a wife too | May 01 01:04 |
| matey | met her at the library | May 01 01:05 |
| psydruid | so that's how DRM messes things up for regular users who have no clue what is going on until it's too late | May 01 01:05 |
| matey | i was surprised when i was able to download from peertube | May 01 01:06 |

| activelow | matey> they didnt have to "source" any intel chips or z80 because they didnt have tech like that in 1969 | May 01 01:07 |
| activelow | earlier "CPU" were build from TTL7400 chips, similar to Gigatron TTL | May 01 01:07 |
| matey | yeah | May 01 01:07 |
| matey | like the original dec machines | May 01 01:07 |
| matey | which were built from discrete transistors | May 01 01:07 |
| activelow | nonetheless, were similar in design and capabilites of later Z80/i8086 who bundles this into a CPU package | May 01 01:07 |
| matey | sure | May 01 01:08 |
| activelow | somehow, "CPU" is a misnomer, because, it contains distinct parts | May 01 01:08 |
| matey | and with people like sam zeloof working on homemade ics | May 01 01:08 |

| activelow | the early systems had the same problem, amount of RAM/ROM, the BASIC paper tape, from Micro-Soft, was 4KiB or 8KiB total... impressive | May 01 01:11 |
| matey | i mean you can buy ram | May 01 01:11 |
| matey | until someone figures out how to make that too | May 01 01:11 |
| matey | and i suppose clock speeds and refresh rates are a thing | May 01 01:12 |
| matey | but there are so many cool workarounds there | May 01 01:12 |
| matey | which (no matter what rms says about retrocomputing) | May 01 01:12 |
| activelow | don't know how much RAM zeloof got, to load the Tiny BASIC paper tape... as an idea and cornerstone of such a project | May 01 01:12 |
| matey | those workarounds could assist making new ram work with the newest (slower) homemade chips, maybe | May 01 01:13 |
| matey | i think a lot of people want paper tape as a SECONDARY option, not the primary design | May 01 01:13 |
| matey | paper tape is a pain to work with | May 01 01:13 |
| matey | and its fucking SLOW | May 01 01:14 |
| activelow | i think earlier computers used SRAM, not DRAM... and if zeloof can implement transistor logic for a 4004 CPU, he can too to have SRAM, however tiny the amount | May 01 01:14 |
| activelow | SRAM was very expensive, still is | May 01 01:14 |
| matey | they made sram in lower quantities im sure | May 01 01:14 |
| matey | if they made it in similar quantities as dram maybe it would be cheaper-- this isnt my area of course | May 01 01:14 |
| activelow | i think paper tape is still relevant... long term storage | May 01 01:14 |
| matey | relevant? yes. practical? ... | May 01 01:15 |

| matey | for decades computers used punched paper tapes <- and loading things from paper tape is INCREDIBLY slow | May 01 01:15 |
| activelow | don't think so, IBM too constructed paper tape readers, and those were fast enough | May 01 01:16 |
| matey | like even in the 1950s, before a computer even spent time on your program-- they had ANOTHER MACHINE load all the punchcards onto magnetic tapes before the computer would even touch them | May 01 01:16 |
| activelow | during US elections those were still used, until a few years ago | May 01 01:16 |
| activelow | and, i might add, it's sad this technology isn't maintained anymore | May 01 01:16 |
| matey | otherwise, the punchcards were so slow they would run the budget of the computer through the roof | May 01 01:17 |

| activelow | and it isn't relevant in the context the use case of punched cards and paper tapes | May 01 01:22 |
| matey | youre stuck with programs like 4k/8k altair basic, because otherwise youre going to spend hours booting up | May 01 01:22 |
| matey | if youre happy with altair basic as an os, you can do it all on paper tape | May 01 01:22 |
| activelow | same with 9pin matrix printers, which i kept maintaining, those aren't slow if used as these were intended to (which asn't high resolution graphics) | May 01 01:22 |
| matey | i had a 9pin matrix printer | May 01 01:23 |
| matey | so i know what it was capable of | May 01 01:23 |
| matey | i also had a very low end laser printer, which was a lot faster than the 9pin but | May 01 01:23 |
| matey | slower than nearly anything i can find today | May 01 01:23 |
| activelow | i said the altair 8800 and punched paper tape is still relevant, not only for projects such as the i4004 which zeloof builds | May 01 01:24 |
| matey | and just to access it from the network i had to put it on a pentium iii :) | May 01 01:24 |
| matey | i dont think the altair is the sort of thing zeloof intends to build up to | May 01 01:24 |
| matey | right now the number of transistors hes putting on his chips is growing faster than moores law | May 01 01:25 |
| matey | its catchup, so its not like he can keep performing like that | May 01 01:25 |
| activelow | the altair was equipped with in i8080 already, the successor of the i4004 | May 01 01:25 |
| matey | i think maybe youre missing the point here | May 01 01:25 |
| matey | or making a false assumption | May 01 01:25 |
| matey | i dont think zeloof is trying to bring back 8 bit computing | May 01 01:26 |
| matey | people already do that | May 01 01:26 |
| matey | i dont think thats what leah is excited about either | May 01 01:26 |

| matey | 8 bits very cool | May 01 01:27 |
| matey | but this isnt just about retro computing, its about d-i-y computing, beyond 80s limitations | May 01 01:27 |
| matey | thats the goal | May 01 01:27 |
| activelow | the i4004 had a 4Bit ALU, the i8080 too iirc, with 8bit databus, and 16bit address space | May 01 01:27 |
| activelow | so it isn't entirely clear, what you mean with 8bit computing | May 01 01:28 |
| matey | its really simple. im talking about goals that are more modern than anythign in that entire era | May 01 01:28 |
| matey | you insist on getting down to atomic details, okay | May 01 01:28 |
| activelow | and the punched paper tapes are cool too, because those can be constructed relatively easy, in comparison to any ROM chip | May 01 01:28 |
| matey | but thats why youre missing the point. it isnt about WHICH of those it is | May 01 01:28 |
| matey | it isnt about ANY of those | May 01 01:28 |
| psydruid | I think he is researching independent manufacture of free hardware in a home setting and I hope he will continue developing processes for being able to do that | May 01 01:28 |
| matey | yes, punched paper tapes ARE super cool | May 01 01:28 |
| matey | but not practical for most of our goals | May 01 01:29 |
| matey | which require more speed | May 01 01:29 |
| matey | and i think you overestimate the bandwidth paper tape is capable of | May 01 01:29 |
| activelow | an 8K punched tape suffices for some "BIOS" type system, with a tiny shell and basic interpreter | May 01 01:29 |
| matey | on an 8bit machine. | May 01 01:30 |
| matey | yes | May 01 01:30 |
| matey | we are going in circles now, maybe its time to respool the tape. | May 01 01:30 |

| matey | mjg is actually doing one thing that is one of the most rewarding things there is | May 01 06:36 |
| matey | which is teaching | May 01 06:37 |
| matey | the cool thing about teaching is that anybody can do it (not everyone is a great teacher, but anybody can do it) | May 01 06:37 |
| matey | its sharing knowledge, but more than that | May 01 06:38 |
| matey | its helping people understand things | May 01 06:38 |
| matey | one aspect of this which any good librarian is good at, is helping people find the information that will help them the most | May 01 06:39 |
| matey | i mean people can look stuff up online, but they dont always know what to look for | May 01 06:39 |
| matey | librarians are good at that. so are good teachers | May 01 06:39 |
| matey | if you get to know someone well enough, you can point them in the right direction in a number of ways | May 01 06:40 |
| matey | so its not just about sharing knowledge, but having knowledge to share (anybody can give someone a url obviously) | May 01 06:40 |
| matey | sometimes its about weighing options and making recommendations | May 01 06:41 |
| matey | of course this isnt the kind of teaching where you have a set curriculum and are expected to spoonfeed it to people | May 01 06:41 |
| matey | if you dont have the overhead of a formal uni setting for example, tutoring is relatively free-- what matters then is very different (to a degree) | May 01 06:42 |
| matey | if the system is failing someone in some way, tutoring is a great way around that | May 01 06:43 |
| matey | but there are even more opportunities than just formal teaching and tutoring | May 01 06:44 |
| matey | everybody meets people looking for some kind of information / knowledge | May 01 06:44 |
| matey | if you prepare yourself more for that, if you learn more about how to provide that | May 01 06:45 |
| matey | thats the kind of teaching anyone can do-- just like with anything else, cooking, coding, whatever, its about practice and trying things out | May 01 06:45 |
| *horseface__ has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) | May 01 06:45 | |
| matey | society used to have a lot more of that, when teaching was less of a product and more of a way of life | May 01 06:46 |
| matey | its not completely phased out, and anywhere you see d-i-y anything theres opportunities there | May 01 06:46 |
| matey | its something the fsf really dropped the ball with too | May 01 06:46 |
| matey | the fsf made good strides with books at least | May 01 06:47 |
| matey | they made good strides with books. i think they could have done a lot more in terms of tutorials | May 01 06:47 |
| matey | really not sure why they didnt | May 01 06:47 |
| matey | some people grab a tutorial and they learn what they need to know | May 01 06:47 |
| matey | other people pick up a tutorial, get either confused or overwhelmed (or its the wrong tutorial for their needs) and give up | May 01 06:48 |
| matey | thats an opportunity for teaching | May 01 06:48 |
| matey | but more people can do tutorials than books-- of course a lot of books are crap, a lot of tutorials are crap | May 01 06:48 |
| matey | nothing you can do about that. make a better one | May 01 06:49 |
| matey | but teaching is a lot like a live, interactive tutorial | May 01 06:49 |
| matey | the more people do that, the smarter the world will be (maybe. i admit this one is a long shot) | May 01 06:50 |
| matey | i mean, its good to write software, contribute to software, without this, teaching software is-- teaching what? without people writing software it doesnt exist | May 01 06:51 |
| matey | teaching is one of the best opportunities to spread software and knowledge of software. thats why microsoft took over schools. | May 01 06:51 |
| matey | free (subsidised) marketing | May 01 06:51 |
| matey | i taught someone how to use gcc recently. admittedly its not something i know much about myself | May 01 06:53 |
| matey | i prefer to teach what i know | May 01 06:53 |
| matey | but it put them ahead just a little, because a little while later they were required to use it, and already had some familiarity and comfort with it | May 01 06:54 |
| matey | so even little pushes liks that can make a bit of a difference | May 01 06:54 |
| matey | and at the time i didnt even know what beast llvm was | May 01 06:54 |
| matey | but even if ibm gcc shouldnt be ibm gcc | May 01 06:55 |
| matey | just as openbsd is more forkable than gnu, i think its likely that ibm gcc is more forkable than microsoft llvm | May 01 06:55 |
| matey | but we will see. maybe someone will make a less beastly llvm (i wouldnt know how, so i dont know if its possible or not) | May 01 06:56 |
| matey | the bootstrap requirements for llvm are fucking nuts | May 01 06:56 |
| matey | i cant even believe them | May 01 06:56 |
| matey | gcc is nuts too, but it seems less so by an order of magnitude | May 01 06:57 |
| matey | i like the idea of being able to compile an os with tinycc | May 01 06:58 |
| matey | even though it probably makes way more sense to compile it with gcc | May 01 06:58 |
| matey | the option seems worthwhile | May 01 06:59 |

| matey | for example, you wont learn much about compiling from using a reproducible build, unless you go to all the trouble of creating one | May 01 07:00 |
| matey | im not knocking the idea itself | May 01 07:00 |
| matey | with something like tinycc, if that were an option, you could learn how to compile an entire os. on a cheaper hardware. | May 01 07:00 |
| matey | that sounds like a great option to me | May 01 07:00 |
| matey | then, IF you ever decide to build an entire os using something like gcc, which is more optimised, youve already got the experience of building an entire os. | May 01 07:01 |
| matey | and maybe people downplay the optimisation of tcc vs default gcc settings, i dont know about that | May 01 07:02 |
| matey | imo, everyone should consider devoting SOME time to teaching if possible | May 01 07:02 |
| matey | its great to have knowledge, to accumulate knowledge, to APPLY it | May 01 07:02 |
| matey | and if you share the software you make, thats also helpful | May 01 07:03 |
| matey | then if on top of that, you devote SOME time to teaching-- even a little | May 01 07:03 |
| matey | thats REALLY good | May 01 07:03 |
| matey | it doesnt always mean getting a job, sometimes it just means writing something or helping someone | May 01 07:03 |
| matey | but its something on top of creating software or simply applying knowledge | May 01 07:04 |
| matey | plus, people can use something like gnu/linux but ive met people who learned how to code, and still find the command line intimidating | May 01 07:05 |
| matey | to me thats backwards | May 01 07:05 |
| matey | the command line should be LESS intimidating than coding, because to being with, its just a way to run a program | May 01 07:05 |
| matey | you type the name, theres even autocomplete, typing the name of the program runs the program. | May 01 07:06 |
| matey | thats too fucking simple. anybody can understand that. nobody needs to be intimidated | May 01 07:06 |
| matey | from there, maybe you show them a parameter or "switch" or "option" | May 01 07:06 |
| matey | already this is incredibly valuable | May 01 07:06 |
| matey | and oops, now theyre less intimidated by the command line | May 01 07:07 |
| matey | but people get some distro that tells them YOU WONT NEED THE COMMAND LINE! | May 01 07:07 |
| matey | and theyre like, thats a reasonable thing to want, i dont ever want to have to bother with th-- why? | May 01 07:07 |
| matey | its not that bad | May 01 07:07 |
| matey | but if no one ever shows them that, a lot of people wont know | May 01 07:08 |
| matey | so you can actually undo some ignorance that way | May 01 07:08 |
| matey | and thats a huge help | May 01 07:08 |
| matey | replace more ignorant expectations with more reasonable (less self-defeating) expectations | May 01 07:08 |

| matey | and if youre good at it, or get good at it-- you can also help instill (a reasonable level of) confidence | May 01 07:09 |
| matey | which is something that helps someone for a lifetime | May 01 07:09 |
| matey | but its another area where even a little push in the right direction can make a huge difference | May 01 07:10 |
| *techrights-ipfs-bot has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) | May 01 07:10 | |
| matey | at one point, honestly, ubuntu and puppy were more like this | May 01 07:10 |
| matey | eventually it becomes a big pissing match and the idiots take over, that happens | May 01 07:11 |
| matey | so having a single community that does this isnt a good plan long-term | May 01 07:11 |
| matey | rather than a single community, or one school, or something like codecademy | May 01 07:11 |
| matey | which is always going to be a single point of failure | May 01 07:12 |
| matey | its better to just increase the number of people in the world who have this as an interest, and maybe a habit | May 01 07:13 |
| matey | then they will be everywhere | May 01 07:13 |
| matey | single points of failure wont be an issue then | May 01 07:13 |
| matey | its amazing the fsf didnt talk about this | May 01 07:13 |
| matey | it would have made them twice as resilient | May 01 07:13 |
| matey | im sure they touched on the topic slightly now and then | May 01 07:14 |
| matey | its clearly not a big part of their mission | May 01 07:14 |
| matey | they always expected other groups to take care of this | May 01 07:14 |
| matey | ok, but they could have talked about it more. | May 01 07:14 |
| matey | they never focused enough on teaching | May 01 07:14 |
| matey | but they did create some books though, thats far better than nothing | May 01 07:15 |
| matey | it didnt accomplish what it could have if theyd gone farther beyond that | May 01 07:15 |
| matey | they let their enemies have that to themselves | May 01 07:15 |
| matey | strategically missed opportunities | May 01 07:16 |
| matey | sell the idea of free software to schools, theyre the experts on edu-- no theyre not | May 01 07:16 |
| matey | lots of schools suck. its a broken system | May 01 07:16 |
| matey | schools have been slaves to microsoft since the 90s if not sooner | May 01 07:17 |
| matey | if not sooner only because apple was very keen on getting there first | May 01 07:17 |
| matey | microsoft was for business, apple was for education. i hated apple, i had a better machine at home (and the commercials were condescending as fuck. they were shrewed and targeted idiots) | May 01 07:18 |
| matey | great marketing. except it provided a lot of the ignorance along the lines of the self-defeating "IT JUST WORKS" expectations i mentioned the merit of undoing earlier | May 01 07:18 |
| matey | it created terrible expectations. and later, microsoft would get wise to that, and do exactly the same | May 01 07:19 |
| matey | making windows into windows for dummies | May 01 07:19 |
| matey | then windows for computer repair shops :) | May 01 07:19 |
| matey | but never windows for users | May 01 07:19 |
| matey | apple started with bsd, but if you look at what they do to it, they built a metropolis of bullshit on top of it | May 01 07:20 |
| matey | then they dug in and-- i mean if you go to single user mode, theres still infiltration of crapple bullshit underneath the gui | May 01 07:21 |
| matey | it just seeps into the foundation | May 01 07:21 |
| matey | but thats stuff they added, then they removed whatever was in its place-- a bit like the systemdification of gnu/linux | May 01 07:21 |
| *oarion7 has quit (Quit: Running IRC on a charmed medieval abacus.) | May 01 07:21 | |
| matey | in a real bsd or even a reasonable gnu/linux systemd, you only need a simple dhcp tool like dhcpcd or dhclient (maybe) to get the thing onto the network (if its wired) | May 01 07:22 |
| matey | i seem to recall it taking a lot more than that (several ridiculous steps) to get that in single user mode on a mac | May 01 07:23 |
| matey | its not hard to look up and confirm this though, if im not mistaken | May 01 07:23 |
| matey | since a mac is non-free, who cares, get a free system | May 01 07:24 |
| matey | the only way that it matters is that industry sets bad examples, whether free or not | May 01 07:24 |
| matey | and free software copies them later (systemd. gnome. mozilla) | May 01 07:25 |
| matey | so the fact that non-free software has stupid designs, and people dont know more about alternatives, means later it will be easier for gnome or poettering or mozilla to saddle people with crap, even with a free license slapped on | May 01 07:25 |
| matey | i mean in the golden years of free software, we actually talked about how shitty windows was | May 01 07:26 |
| matey | and there was a point in doing that | May 01 07:26 |
| matey | when open source taught us to not care about that, and stallman told us not to talk about it | May 01 07:26 |
| matey | dont lets be beastly to microsoft | May 01 07:26 |
| matey | we lost valuable teaching moments-- and all such teaching was slandered as hate, neckbeardism and even promoting non-free software | May 01 07:27 |
| matey | strategic missed opportunities | May 01 07:27 |
| matey | go and give a talk about this at lieplanet | May 01 07:28 |
| matey | oh, good luck | May 01 07:28 |
| matey | lieplanet bows to corporate control of the culture | May 01 07:28 |
| matey | then it spends a lot of time pretending to be revolutionary | May 01 07:28 |
| matey | theres words for that | May 01 07:28 |
| matey | controlled opposition, doublespeak | May 01 07:29 |
| matey | but sometimes they say good things! | May 01 07:29 |
| matey | yeah, thats the whole fucking point of doublespeak | May 01 07:29 |
| matey | like if you murder hundreds of thousands of people, then say youre liberating them. | May 01 07:30 |
| matey | oh well, if it liberates them, i guess killing civilians is okay | May 01 07:30 |
| *techrights-ipfs-bot (~techrights-ipfs-bot@s44cwn8sugddy.irc) has joined #techrights | May 01 07:30 | |
| matey | oh, if they say some good things, i suppose surgically removing freedom from a movement entirely about freedom is ok | May 01 07:30 |
| matey | its about the higher good blah blah blah ie corporate control. what? just go with it. (or else) | May 01 07:31 |
| matey | #techrights : 05/01/22 06:10 <matey> at one point, honestly, ubuntu and puppy were more like this | May 01 07:31 |
| matey | #techrights : 05/01/22 06:11 <matey> eventually it becomes a big pissing match and the idiots take over, that happens | May 01 07:31 |
| matey | happened to lieplanet | May 01 07:31 |
| matey | even if you see a good talk there | May 01 07:32 |
| matey | its like a good teacher in a broken system | May 01 07:32 |
| matey | an unbroken system would let a good teacher accomplish so much more | May 01 07:32 |
| matey | instead they have to fight constantly, its wasted energy | May 01 07:32 |
| matey | like writing a free installer for windows-- maybe it has merit | May 01 07:33 |
| matey | but what would be better still is NOT USING WINDOWS | May 01 07:33 |
| matey | a good teacher in a broken school system is probably a good thing | May 01 07:33 |
| matey | but NOT having a broken system is even better | May 01 07:33 |
| matey | a good talk at lieplanet may be a good thing | May 01 07:33 |
| matey | but NOT having a bullshit corrupt organisation would be even better | May 01 07:33 |
| matey | by an order of magnitude | May 01 07:34 |
| matey | we should be trying to end windows | May 01 07:34 |
| matey | and end broken systems | May 01 07:35 |
| matey | and end corruption, not only trying to sneak good things into these things (sometimes the latter is worth doing of course) | May 01 07:35 |
| matey | with teaching, you can sometimes do more outside the system | May 01 07:35 |
| matey | with lieplanet, you can do WAY MORE outside the system | May 01 07:36 |
| matey | lieplanet is a fucking gulag | May 01 07:36 |
| matey | its amazing the amount of trouble they go to, for scraps | May 01 07:37 |
| matey | people could be talking like that (even better) all yeaer | May 01 07:37 |
| matey | but free software has so little to say these days | May 01 07:37 |
| matey | since it became open source | May 01 07:37 |
| matey | 1 part freedom, two parts bullshit, three parts self-defeating changes in strategy | May 01 07:38 |
| matey | just keep the part about freedom and to hell with the rest of it | May 01 07:38 |
| matey | keep the parts of gnu that serve freedom, and to hell with the rest of it | May 01 07:39 |
| matey | good luck with that too | May 01 07:39 |
| matey | there will be more free software, somewhere | May 01 07:39 |
| matey | maybe this time they can get education right too | May 01 07:39 |
| matey | instead of expecting schools to teach free software, when the purpose of schools isnt to make people free, but to make them into consumers and corporate serfs | May 01 07:39 |
| matey | some teach free software, but more teach windows and mac. | May 01 07:40 |
| matey | they teach whatsapp and gmail. | May 01 07:40 |
| matey | they teach android and normalise mass surveillance. | May 01 07:40 |
| matey | then we wonder why free software is failing. because strategically its gotten fucking stupid | May 01 07:41 |
| matey | and you have to suck up to microsoft and liars and corrupt people all at once | May 01 07:41 |
| matey | just keep the part about freedom and to hell with the rest of it | May 01 07:41 |
| matey | you can expect people to do that, the only ones that matter are going to do exactly that | May 01 07:42 |
| matey | the rest can go to hell | May 01 07:42 |

| *novelist (~877dcd19@54n9xgft8g6u2.irc) has joined #techrights | May 01 08:12 | |
| matey | there's a lot of fear about letting students down <- well, if it helps | May 01 08:17 |
| matey | and this is going to sound like sarcasm, but its from the heart | May 01 08:17 |
| matey | chances are, the worst thing youll ever do, youve already done | May 01 08:17 |
| matey | so bright future? | May 01 08:17 |
| matey | i mean, the futures up to you (sort of) | May 01 08:18 |
| matey | sort of because, obviously no one has full control of destiny. but they have a lot of control over the choices they have | May 01 08:18 |
| matey | when i was younger, i thought i could never work on (other peoples) computers | May 01 08:19 |
| matey | because i couldnt bear the idea of giving back someone their machine and saying "im sorry, there wasnt anything i could do" | May 01 08:20 |
| matey | i mean i was that sentimental and perfectionist about the idea | May 01 08:20 |
| matey | i either had to get everything right! like some kind of world class surgeon | May 01 08:20 |
| matey | or not bother | May 01 08:20 |
| matey | to be fair, i was fresh out of my teens. but still i find it charming to think how naive that was | May 01 08:21 |
| matey | all the best people fuck up, but my favourite version of this is | May 01 08:21 |
| matey | "only a mediocre [person] is always at [their] best" | May 01 08:22 |
| matey | the original version of the quote is fine, here i find the pronoun distracting | May 01 08:22 |
| matey | it was originally man/his and this of course, applies to completely everyone | May 01 08:23 |
| mjg59_ | Yeah I already got an award for being one of the best teachers on the course | May 01 08:23 |
| mjg59_ | So I really should feel like it's ok now | May 01 08:24 |
| matey | awards are distracting too | May 01 08:24 |
| matey | i mean theres nothing wrong with them | May 01 08:24 |
| mjg59_ | But it's security and it's operating systems so it's a constantly evolving field | May 01 08:24 |
| matey | im sure youll find theres never a better reward than hearing from a student that you helped in some way | May 01 08:24 |
| mjg59_ | And I don't want to end up teaching them shit that's 10 years out of date | May 01 08:24 |
| matey | sometimes 10 years out of date is better | May 01 08:24 |
| matey | sometimes something new is an improvement | May 01 08:25 |
| mjg59_ | Eh in this case not so much | May 01 08:25 |
| mjg59_ | I'm not teaching them about tools, more about what actually exists and what they need to worry about | May 01 08:25 |
| matey | i mean, security updates still exist for a good reason. | May 01 08:25 |
| matey | and what they need to worry about <- ah, well here theres another rule to consider | May 01 08:25 |
| matey | one you already know | May 01 08:25 |
| matey | what you need to worry about is a matter of your... what is it, threat model? | May 01 08:26 |
| matey | i mean i have absolutely no security against flying zebras with lasers attached to their foreheads | May 01 08:26 |
| matey | if someone sends flying zebras with lasers attached to their foreheads, lets face it, im fucked | May 01 08:27 |
| matey | its simply something i have no preparation for | May 01 08:27 |
| matey | the good news is that (touch wood) such an attack is VERY unlikely. some comfort there | May 01 08:28 |
| matey | whether youre preparing them for an security compromise, or simply for the future | May 01 08:28 |
| matey | it depends on the threat model, right? | May 01 08:28 |
| mjg59_ | It's more "Don't worry about these things unless you're in a weird place, it's a solved problem otherwise" | May 01 08:28 |
| matey | yeah | May 01 08:28 |
| matey | so you might be worried about (basically) nothing there | May 01 08:29 |
| mjg59_ | Like from an OS perspective, these days all your passwords are decently salted and you don't need to worry much about offline cracking | May 01 08:29 |
| matey | the best thing you can teach them is how to fill the gaps in their own knowledge | May 01 08:29 |
| mjg59_ | That's a big part of it, but not all of it | May 01 08:29 |
| matey | teach them how to self teach. but obviously this is glib advice without trying to give them the essentials | May 01 08:29 |
| mjg59_ | The other part is to recognise that their users are humans and their motivations are rational | May 01 08:30 |
| matey | and you don't need to worry much about offline cracking <- thats cool, i didnt even know that | May 01 08:30 |
| mjg59_ | A security policy that prevents users from getting their work done ends up with people violating polocy | May 01 08:30 |
| matey | yes! | May 01 08:30 |
| mjg59_ | Security needs to understand users, not just impose restrictions on them | May 01 08:30 |
| matey | hence pledge (which takes this into account, whether or not its the greatest security feauture eveR) | May 01 08:30 |
| mjg59_ | Otherwise you end up in a less secure situation | May 01 08:31 |
| *Timur has quit (connection closed) | May 01 08:31 | |
| *Timur (~tdemin@kgmzfpb6b65fs.irc) has joined #techrights | May 01 08:31 | |
| mjg59_ | So yeah I try to teach them that as well | May 01 08:31 |
| matey | yeah, i mean you can put a lock on a fridge if youre dieting | May 01 08:31 |
| matey | but its sort of moot if you have the key, youre just going to open the lock and get in | May 01 08:31 |
| mjg59_ | Good analogy | May 01 08:32 |
| mjg59_ | So people end up doing stuff like sharing scripts that automate disk encryption unlock with a fixed password because they need their workstations to reboot after power cuts | May 01 08:33 |
| matey | heh | May 01 08:33 |
| mjg59_ | Which means the encryption is pointless, but if you don't know that's happening then everything looks secure | May 01 08:33 |
| matey | not to change the subject but what do you think of pledge incidentally? i bring it up because it works so well from THIS perspective (the one we are talking about) but other than that... | May 01 08:33 |
| matey | ive heard its not bad | May 01 08:33 |
| mjg59_ | There's ways to solve this that retain security without breaking their ability to use their computers, but you'll never know you need to do that unless people tell you they're doing the less secure thing | May 01 08:34 |
| mjg59_ | pledge() is great if you control the entire OS stack | May 01 08:34 |
| mjg59_ | It could never work on Linux | May 01 08:34 |
| matey | fair enough | May 01 08:34 |
| mjg59_ | Because it works on system calls, and applications make library calls | May 01 08:34 |
| mjg59_ | And updating a library might result in it making different system calls | May 01 08:34 |
| matey | couldnt you... um... | May 01 08:35 |
| matey | couldnt you still put pledge at the layer between the library and the kernel | May 01 08:35 |
| matey | and then write the policy there | May 01 08:35 |
| mjg59_ | Kernel has no idea what library calls are being made | May 01 08:35 |
| mjg59_ | That's all in userland | May 01 08:35 |
| matey | oh right | May 01 08:35 |
| matey | now i get it | May 01 08:36 |
| matey | maybe | May 01 08:36 |
| matey | at least it makes sense | May 01 08:36 |
| mjg59_ | You could implement pledge() using the BPF LSM | May 01 08:36 |
| matey | i think it would be harder to sell from a cultural standpoint | May 01 08:36 |
| mjg59_ | But glibc might get updated and use a different system call in response to the same library call | May 01 08:36 |
| mjg59_ | And then your existing policy might break | May 01 08:36 |
| matey | and then people would still be like | May 01 08:37 |
| matey | "why am i enabling something that makes things less stable" | May 01 08:37 |
| matey | and for openbsd, people know why | May 01 08:37 |
| matey | but for "linux" people are like "no, just make it work!" | May 01 08:37 |
| matey | so it breaks less things than some strict policies | May 01 08:37 |
| matey | but dammit it still breaks stuff | May 01 08:37 |
| mjg59_ | Having userland and kernel maintained by the same people gives some advantages | May 01 08:38 |
| matey | theres less culture of "leave that on, it will save you later" in the "linux" workd | May 01 08:38 |
| matey | Having userland and kernel maintained by the same people gives some advantages <- yeah, i love that its even possible | May 01 08:38 |
| mjg59_ | So yeah pledge() isn't impossible in Linux from a technical perspective, but the social perspective just isn't going to work | May 01 08:38 |
| matey | i figure thats probably true. you have to want such a thing first. | May 01 08:38 |
| matey | see the merit in it | May 01 08:39 |
| matey | otherwise its just "my browser crases a bit more often" | May 01 08:39 |
| matey | "fix it" | May 01 08:39 |
| mjg59_ | Instead we have browsers imposing their own seccomp policies | May 01 08:42 |
| mjg59_ | Which encourages static linking, because otherwise a dependency might get updated and break that policy | May 01 08:42 |
| mjg59_ | There's no easy solution | May 01 08:42 |
| matey | i mean, if browsers werent expected to do half of what an os does (by count, or by sheer size of codebase) | May 01 08:43 |
| matey | maybe we could have more than basically two of them. | May 01 08:43 |
| matey | and then implement a reasonable policy on ONE of them, and pretend the others dont exist. | May 01 08:44 |
| matey | id love it if browsers were less complicated | May 01 08:44 |
| matey | but the web has made that sort of hopeless | May 01 08:44 |
| matey | we are far, far past the level of complexity i could ever want from any website | May 01 08:45 |
| matey | there should be more tiers of feature than one | May 01 08:45 |
| matey | like what wap did, for its own reasons | May 01 08:46 |
| *u-amarsh04 (~amarsh04@v6xmmrhxmbafc.irc) has joined #techrights | May 01 08:46 | |

| matey | i only bother with tier 2 websites and smaller | May 01 08:46 |
| matey | i never enable tier 1 | May 01 08:46 |
| matey | and then all the BULLSHIT that the web does now | May 01 08:46 |
| mjg59_ | Microsoft had some level of that in IE at one point | May 01 08:46 |
| matey | put that in | May 01 08:46 |
| matey | yeah, i was going to say | May 01 08:47 |
| mjg59_ | Like, "Don't enable ActiveX unless I trust this site" | May 01 08:47 |
| matey | its funny, because ie actually sort of had this | May 01 08:47 |
| matey | yeah but that was still a policy | May 01 08:47 |
| matey | i mean built into the web standard itself | May 01 08:47 |
| matey | because the standard is (imo) the real problem here | May 01 08:47 |
| matey | whats great about having that in the standard is | May 01 08:47 |
| matey | you could make a browser that didnt even IMPLEMENT the most bullshit tier | May 01 08:48 |
| matey | it would only implement one lighter tier, or two | May 01 08:48 |
| matey | but it would also be a sort of security feature | May 01 08:48 |
| matey | alex limi of course, has a very different view | May 01 08:48 |
| matey | being able to turn off js breaks the web! | May 01 08:48 |
| matey | its bad for business! so he removed the turn off js checkbox. | May 01 08:48 |
| matey | AND the turn off images checkbox. about:config should be good enough for anybody! | May 01 08:49 |
| matey | thanks, alex. | May 01 08:49 |
| matey | this happened more than a decade ago. people are like "wow, you know his NAME" | May 01 08:49 |
| matey | yeah. because i hate him. | May 01 08:49 |
| matey | granted ive probably only mentioned him twice in 5 years. | May 01 08:49 |
| matey | also, if it were built into the standard | May 01 08:50 |
| matey | you could have a more user-friendly version of something like umatrix | May 01 08:50 |
| matey | i mean umatrix is awesome | May 01 08:50 |
| matey | should be builtin to every browser | May 01 08:50 |
| matey | it crashes and you have to disable and reenable it :/ | May 01 08:51 |
| matey | or restart the browser, which is less convenient | May 01 08:51 |
| matey | but you could have something like noscript for the tier | May 01 08:51 |
| matey | per-website | May 01 08:51 |
| matey | but again :) ie had that | May 01 08:51 |
| matey | and i feel very silly advocating it for that reason | May 01 08:51 |
| matey | but it would be better if it were in the standard | May 01 08:52 |
| matey | never happen anyway | May 01 08:52 |
| mjg59_ | figuring out a good way to have a global policy that handles that sort of thing is hard | May 01 08:52 |
| mjg59_ | But also I'm going to go and fall asleep now | May 01 08:52 |
| matey | agreed | May 01 08:52 |
| matey | o/ | May 01 08:52 |
| mjg59_ | But yeah your argument here is good | May 01 08:53 |
| mjg59_ | Reducing exposure would make a lot of things safer | May 01 08:53 |
| matey | useless for most people unless you change the culture | May 01 08:53 |
| matey | but not useless for people who know better | May 01 08:53 |

| matey | just a huge, ignorant, double standard "fuck you" to free culture | May 01 09:03 |
| matey | i guarantee, a lot of people who signed the damned letter did it because the fsf shit all over the free culture movement | May 01 09:03 |

| matey | its something the fsf advocates | May 01 09:05 |
| matey | but then they do the exact opposite elsewhere. | May 01 09:05 |
| matey | because clearly, there is an internal struggle on the issue | May 01 09:05 |

| matey | then he goes and says, free software is important even if you dont code-- which is true | May 01 09:08 |
| matey | for EXACTLY THE SAME REASON it doesnt fucking matter if you want to make lightbulbs or not | May 01 09:08 |
| matey | i mean, theres really a parallel universe somewhere | May 01 09:08 |
| matey | where the arguments he makes about software apply to other things too. | May 01 09:09 |
| matey | but NOT THIS ONE! i guess? | May 01 09:09 |

| matey | i dont want a lot of features in my bulbs | May 01 09:14 |
| matey | but thats just another reason free hardware matters. | May 01 09:14 |
| matey | because if i need a phone (and id rather not) | May 01 09:14 |
| matey | i want a phone with AS FEW FEATURES as possible | May 01 09:14 |
| matey | not a smartphone | May 01 09:14 |
| matey | and flipphones are really just fucking disappearing from the market now | May 01 09:15 |
| matey | free hardware could do somethign about that. | May 01 09:15 |
| matey | so people who are like-- you dont need all those features in a lightbulb | May 01 09:15 |
| matey | theyre missing the point | May 01 09:15 |
| matey | free hardware means you can have fewer features too, not just more | May 01 09:15 |
| matey | free software used to mean that too :) but the fsf fucked that up as well | May 01 09:15 |
| matey | they forgot to write freedom 4, the freedom to NOT run the software | May 01 09:16 |
| matey | so eventually every application becomes a fucking operating system | May 01 09:16 |
| matey | and every application becomes mandatory | May 01 09:17 |
| matey | and the only way to have freedom is to say fuck it and start with a new os | May 01 09:17 |
| matey | oops? | May 01 09:17 |
| matey | i mean if some arsehole can just add several millions of line of code to something every year | May 01 09:17 |
| matey | how the fuck does freedom 3 apply? theyre simulating proprietary software under a free license | May 01 09:18 |
| matey | and theyre PROUD of it, they gloat | May 01 09:18 |
| matey | gnome gloats that you have no choice | May 01 09:18 |
| matey | fuck them | May 01 09:18 |
| matey | these devs say linux isnt about choice! | May 01 09:18 |
| matey | good, to hell with linux then | May 01 09:19 |
| matey | throw it in a fire | May 01 09:19 |
| matey | gnome can go too | May 01 09:19 |
| matey | when devs start gloating that you have no choice, they need to go | May 01 09:19 |
| novelist | you allways have a choice | May 01 09:20 |
| matey | fsvo choice | May 01 09:20 |
| matey | some devs really get off on reducing your choices | May 01 09:20 |
| matey | on making people more depedent | May 01 09:20 |
| matey | dependent | May 01 09:20 |
| matey | thats nothing to do with freedom | May 01 09:20 |
| matey | they need to go | May 01 09:20 |
| matey | theyre not helping, theyre the problem | May 01 09:20 |
| matey | theres no such thing as perfect modularity either-- but theres a reasonable level of it | May 01 09:21 |
| matey | some people sabotage that | May 01 09:21 |
| matey | they need to go | May 01 09:21 |
| matey | these arent isolated incidents or innocent mistakes, theyre well known trends lasting years or more | May 01 09:21 |
| matey | again, devs gloat about this | May 01 09:21 |
| matey | the best thing they can do is stop writing software | May 01 09:22 |
| matey | that would help a lot | May 01 09:22 |

| matey | but here we are | May 01 09:33 |
| matey | if you do write any free software | May 01 09:33 |
| matey | dont put it on github. thats a great start. | May 01 09:34 |
| barto | someone i know made a project on github and invited me to it because he needed HTML5 and CSS3 help | May 01 09:34 |
| matey | thatll happen | May 01 09:34 |
| matey | you can try to get him to move, chances are he wont listen | May 01 09:34 |
| matey | but you never know unless you try | May 01 09:35 |
| barto | that's true | May 01 09:35 |
| barto | why's github so bad for free software though? | May 01 09:35 |
| matey | its a monopoly controlled by one of free softwares largest enemies | May 01 09:35 |
| barto | oh yeah | May 01 09:36 |
| barto | microsoft | May 01 09:36 |
| matey | as part of a goal to destroy free software theyved had for more than 20 years | May 01 09:36 |
| matey | microsoft arent nice people | May 01 09:36 |
| matey | theyre still as bad as before | May 01 09:36 |
| matey | only now people trust them again | May 01 09:36 |
| matey | i used to use github | May 01 09:36 |
| matey | before it was microsoft | May 01 09:37 |
| matey | there are loads of alternatives | May 01 09:37 |
| matey | people should use one | May 01 09:37 |
| barto | i've heard gitea is a good alternative | May 01 09:37 |
| matey | yeah if you can use gitea use that | May 01 09:37 |

| matey | if someone does, thats an option | May 01 09:38 |
| matey | small projects can just be zipped up and put on a website too | May 01 09:38 |
| matey | i mean, not everything needs a revision system | May 01 09:38 |

| matey | these are the big ones | May 01 09:55 |
| matey | its sort of a starting point | May 01 09:55 |
| matey | i mean you cant built a gnu/linux system that is free of github | May 01 09:55 |
| matey | its impossible | May 01 09:55 |
| matey | you can build something else thats free of github | May 01 09:56 |
| matey | a different os | May 01 09:56 |
| barto | but doesn't linus have a linux repository there? | May 01 09:56 |
| matey | thats really just a mirror i think | May 01 09:56 |
| matey | linux is controlled by microsoft in a variety of ways | May 01 09:56 |
| matey | like lots of people from microsoft on the board of the linux foundation | May 01 09:56 |
| matey | and before they get on the board, they do it with money | May 01 09:56 |
| matey | when software was mostly non-free, monopolies would just buy competitors | May 01 09:57 |
| matey | then kill them off | May 01 09:57 |
| matey | they still do that, even with free software... but its more complicated because people can (theoretically) fork | May 01 09:57 |
| matey | oracle bought openoffice | May 01 09:57 |
| matey | then the developers left openoffice and created libreoffice | May 01 09:57 |
| matey | so thats an example of saving a doomed project by forking | May 01 09:58 |
| matey | oracle bought everything at once-- then stopped making a freely licensed version | May 01 09:58 |
| matey | this forced the hands of developers to use the most recent free version and fork from there | May 01 09:58 |
| matey | but... | May 01 09:58 |
| matey | if instead, a company buys a project slowly | May 01 09:59 |
| matey | and then controls the team more and more | May 01 09:59 |
| matey | then maybe a fork wont happen at all | May 01 09:59 |
| *ziraffep (~ziraffep@xut3kp7tmzcx4.irc) has joined #techrights | May 01 09:59 | |
| matey | and they can kill the project entirely | May 01 09:59 |
| matey | you can still fork the latest free version | May 01 09:59 |
| matey | only now, the project is dead, and people have moved on | May 01 09:59 |
| matey | i think thats going to kill libreoffice, in a way that openoffice couldnt be killed. | May 01 09:59 |
| matey | blame gnome and collabora when they finally do it. | May 01 10:00 |

| matey | if youre looking for a long-term, stable, forkable os that has these things in ways gnu/linux is completely doomed | May 01 10:12 |
| matey | then bsd is all you need. | May 01 10:12 |
| matey | but thats a big if, right? | May 01 10:12 |
| matey | i mean, theres less software for bsd, somewhat less hardware support | May 01 10:12 |
| matey | the advantage of trying bsd for a lot of people | May 01 10:12 |

| matey | is seeing what it can and cant do | May 01 10:12 |
| matey | because if we just talk about it, people exaggerate what it WONT do | May 01 10:13 |
| matey | but if you want the MOST software, the MOST compatibility | May 01 10:13 |
| matey | and you dont care if it gets shittier and more hateful all the time | May 01 10:13 |
| matey | then theres no reason to switch from linux, right | May 01 10:13 |
| matey | but personally i wanted to stand up to this | May 01 10:13 |
| matey | i didnt spend 10 years migrating to gnu/linux just to have it all controlled by microsoft (github) and ibm (systemd) | May 01 10:14 |
| matey | i mean ibm and microsoft is what i was stuck with in the 1980s | May 01 10:14 |
| matey | free software was my plan to get away from them! | May 01 10:14 |
| matey | if my computing is controlled by those two companies anyway, free software doesnt do what i switched to it for. | May 01 10:15 |
| matey | but the fight is still worthwhile | May 01 10:15 |
| matey | its just-- the fsfs job is to fight this, and they dont anymore | May 01 10:16 |
| barto | what if i use an alternative to systemd? | May 01 10:16 |
| barto | like openRC | May 01 10:16 |
| matey | if you use an alternative to systemd, thats good | May 01 10:16 |
| matey | i used sysvinit | May 01 10:16 |
| matey | i tried some openrc distros too | May 01 10:16 |
| matey | openrc of course, is github :) | May 01 10:16 |

| barto | :-( | May 01 10:16 |
| matey | yeah | May 01 10:16 |
| matey | i mean things are bad | May 01 10:16 |
| barto | what about runit | May 01 10:16 |
| matey | i think runit is cool, let me check | May 01 10:16 |
| matey | yep its cool http://smarden.org/runit/ | May 01 10:17 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-smarden.org | runit - a UNIX init scheme with service supervision | May 01 10:17 | |
| matey | but youll find lots of things rely on libsystemd (this isnt runits fault, its just the other places systemd gets into) | May 01 10:17 |
| matey | and people say well, thats no big deal | May 01 10:18 |
| matey | while yorue avoiding systemd you might consider fighting d-bus (ibm) too | May 01 10:18 |

| matey | however, if you get tired of libsystemd | May 01 10:18 |
| barto | i've never heard of d-bus | May 01 10:18 |
| matey | i think you can switch to bsd and be rid of it | May 01 10:18 |
| matey | devuan will keep... doing whatever they do | May 01 10:19 |
| matey | i switched to devuan in 2015 | May 01 10:19 |
| matey | used it for a while, even made my own distro based on it | May 01 10:19 |
| matey | gave up eventually | May 01 10:19 |
| matey | but the way to fight all this is... | May 01 10:19 |
| matey | replace stuff that sucks and is evil | May 01 10:20 |
| matey | with stuff that isnt | May 01 10:20 |
| matey | and then share knowledge of how to do that | May 01 10:20 |
| matey | so youre not the only person who knows | May 01 10:20 |
| matey | the more people who know, the more likely it is to get done | May 01 10:20 |
| barto | i wanna switch to a more free OS but i don't know anything about how gnu/linux or bsd works | May 01 10:20 |
| matey | mayeb someday we can be github free | May 01 10:20 |
| matey | but i don't know anything about how gnu/linux or bsd works <- spent about 10 years learning | May 01 10:20 |
| matey | but | May 01 10:20 |
| matey | i had a LONG list of things i wanted solved BEFORE i switched | May 01 10:21 |
| matey | you dont need to spend 10 years learning first (also at the time, things were less advanced) | May 01 10:21 |
| matey | i started learning this stuff closer to 2000 than 2010 | May 01 10:21 |
| matey | some things are easier, even now. | May 01 10:21 |
| matey | by 2007 things were pretty friendly | May 01 10:22 |

| matey | you can also dual boot, but for some things thats really not practical | May 01 10:23 |

| matey | if all you wanted to do was try gnu/linux | May 01 10:23 |
| matey | endless os can install itself on your windows machine | May 01 10:23 |
| matey | but its a really shitty locked down distro | May 01 10:24 |
| barto | i already "tried" gnu/linux | May 01 10:24 |
| matey | uses flatpak to make gnu/linux more app-based, like android | May 01 10:24 |
| matey | which distro? | May 01 10:24 |
| barto | i tried mint and gentoo | May 01 10:24 |
| barto | but on VMs | May 01 10:24 |
| matey | gentoo is hard, i dont have the patience for it | May 01 10:24 |
| barto | yeah | May 01 10:24 |
| barto | it is | May 01 10:24 |
| barto | but i wanna learn gentoo | May 01 10:24 |
| matey | thats cool | May 01 10:24 |
| barto | it looks like a great distro | May 01 10:24 |
| matey | learn it | May 01 10:24 |
| matey | it will make you more powerful | May 01 10:25 |
| barto | i have a hard time understanding CFLAGS | May 01 10:25 |
| matey | then you can use a large percentage of that knowledge anywhere | May 01 10:25 |
| barto | for gentoo | May 01 10:25 |
| matey | yeah i dont know cflags | May 01 10:25 |
| barto | it's really hard | May 01 10:26 |
| matey | ive compiled bash and python2 on openbsd | May 01 10:26 |
| barto | and gentoo compiles everything from source | May 01 10:26 |

| barto | talking about bsd | May 01 10:27 |
| techrights-news | As we enter the month of May it becomes more apparent that Windows goes nowhere but down, even months after a new release/version http://techrights.org/2022/04/30/month-check-statcounter/ | May 01 10:27 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-techrights.org | Windows Has Never Been So Small | Techrights | May 01 10:27 | |
| barto | what do you think about the bsd license | May 01 10:27 |
| barto | ? | May 01 10:27 |
| matey | its a complicated subject | May 01 10:27 |
| matey | copyleft is better in theory, and maybe in practice | May 01 10:27 |
| matey | there are lots of arguments to make for copyleft | May 01 10:28 |
| matey | they dont apply to bsd, because bsd doesnt use them | May 01 10:28 |
| matey | however | May 01 10:28 |
| matey | you COULD fork openbsd and put it under gpl | May 01 10:28 |
| matey | it would really piss off theo de raadt | May 01 10:28 |
| matey | and some bsd people | May 01 10:28 |
| matey | but you could do it | May 01 10:28 |
| matey | my interest in openbsd comes from hyperbola | May 01 10:29 |
| matey | the only bsd that could meet the requirements of the fsf | May 01 10:29 |
| matey | i dont think we are ever going to have a really honest discussion of permissive vs copyleft because the camps have different ideas about it | May 01 10:30 |
| matey | id like it to be treated like a science | May 01 10:30 |
| matey | if copyleft REALLY makes people more free | May 01 10:30 |
| matey | keeps them more free | May 01 10:30 |
| matey | then its worth it | May 01 10:30 |
| matey | either way, the fsf is going to keep using it | May 01 10:30 |
| matey | even though linux is stuck at gpl2, they cant fix that | May 01 10:30 |
| matey | while the openbsd kernel could be redone as gpl3 | May 01 10:30 |
| matey | and eventually, like bsd itself-- | May 01 10:31 |
| matey | it woudl change to the point where it bore little resemblance to the version they forked from | May 01 10:31 |
| matey | and it woudlnt matter that some of the code is available under a permissive license | May 01 10:31 |
| matey | but rms never recommends this | May 01 10:31 |
| matey | and hes never made a mistake. ever. | May 01 10:31 |
| matey | hes infallible. | May 01 10:31 |
| matey | (but not really) | May 01 10:31 |
| matey | like i said, its complicated! | May 01 10:32 |
| matey | for now, if you use gnu its copylet | May 01 10:32 |
| matey | if you use bsd, its permissive | May 01 10:32 |
| matey | thats the way it is (for now) | May 01 10:32 |
| matey | but thats not why i like bsd so much | May 01 10:32 |
| matey | its forkable, freedom 3 isnt theoretical. its actually happened in practice | May 01 10:32 |
| matey | people fork bsd. | May 01 10:32 |
| matey | so we KNOW its forkable | May 01 10:32 |
| matey | gnu and linux are forkable in theory | May 01 10:33 |
| matey | i dont think it will happen though. and thats bad at this point. | May 01 10:33 |
| matey | id rather have a permissive freedom 3 in reality than a copyleft freedom 3 in my imagination | May 01 10:34 |
| matey | but i dont necessarily thing permissive vs copyleft is the only factor there | May 01 10:34 |
| matey | bsd is designed well | May 01 10:34 |
| matey | thats why its forkable | May 01 10:34 |
| matey | gnu doesnt give a shit about that. | May 01 10:34 |
| matey | it really doesnt | May 01 10:34 |
| matey | a license along cant give freedom 3. the software has to be designed well enough that you can fork it. | May 01 10:35 |
| matey | theyve been forking puppy linux for years now | May 01 10:36 |
| matey | refactoring woofce | May 01 10:36 |
| matey | as a result, many just moved to antix instead | May 01 10:37 |
| barto | antix? | May 01 10:38 |
| matey | yeah, im not recommending it | May 01 10:38 |
| matey | im just saying that if a project is too hard to fork | May 01 10:39 |
| matey | people will instead work on something that is easier or more worthwhile | May 01 10:39 |
| matey | puppy (the scripts that create it) is forked but | May 01 10:39 |
| matey | theyve spent years refactoring | May 01 10:39 |
| matey | and its taken so long that people have started moving on | May 01 10:39 |
| matey | and antix is like puppy used to be, in many ways | May 01 10:40 |
| matey | sadly both puppy and antix use github | May 01 10:40 |
| matey | i mean their developers keep the sources there and work on them there | May 01 10:40 |
| matey | MOST of the systemd-free distros use github | May 01 10:41 |
| barto | that's really unfortunate | May 01 10:41 |
| matey | tell me about it | May 01 10:41 |
| matey | so when microsoft bought github, and my goals became twofold | May 01 10:41 |
| matey | 1. fight systemd 2. fight microsoft | May 01 10:41 |
| matey | at that point it was inevitable that i would stop using gnu/linux | May 01 10:41 |
| matey | but i spent years making sure there wasnt some other way | May 01 10:42 |
| matey | if i was able to use gentoo, i might still be using it | May 01 10:42 |
| matey | at some point i decided getting away from the linux kernel would nice too :) | May 01 10:42 |
| matey | i was sure openbsd wasnt "ready" yet so i waited a bunch of years before just trying it | May 01 10:43 |
| matey | i tried freebsd, then netbsd, since i thought openbsd would be the most important-- but also the hardest | May 01 10:43 |
| matey | i saved it for last, when i had more bsd experience | May 01 10:43 |
| matey | freebsd wouldnt install properly on one laop | May 01 10:43 |
| matey | laptop-- netbsd didnt either | May 01 10:44 |
| matey | so i tried openbsd on it. not only did it work, it was a lot friendlier than i expected | May 01 10:44 |
| matey | there are definitely drawbacks. just not nearly as many as i expected. | May 01 10:44 |
| matey | i went in with low expectations | May 01 10:44 |
| matey | im a gnu/linux refugee. i expected squalor. | May 01 10:45 |
| matey | gentoo is probably harder to use :) | May 01 10:45 |
| barto | probably | May 01 10:45 |
| matey | but thats good | May 01 10:45 |
| matey | you get good at gentoo, youll be powerful | May 01 10:45 |
| matey | i know its not difficult only for bullshit reasons | May 01 10:46 |
| matey | plus if lennart hates it, it cant be ALL bad | May 01 10:46 |
| barto | lennart? | May 01 10:46 |
| matey | he wrote systemd | May 01 10:46 |
| barto | oh | May 01 10:46 |
| matey | lennaret poettering | May 01 10:46 |
| barto | another question | May 01 10:46 |
| barto | who's novell | May 01 10:46 |
| matey | lennart | May 01 10:46 |
| matey | novell was a big company | May 01 10:47 |
| matey | they got bought, mostly by oracle i think | May 01 10:47 |
| matey | wikipedia has details | May 01 10:47 |
| matey | they did a lot of business with microsoft before getting sold and split up | May 01 10:47 |
| matey | but i think oracle got most of it | May 01 10:47 |

| matey | i mean, im all for critcising the fsf | May 01 10:59 |
| matey | but i think most of the criticism there is typical open source bs | May 01 10:59 |
| matey | id rather deal with individual topics than a big mountain of crap that might have a point somewhere | May 01 10:59 |
| matey | the website looks like a big mountain of crap to me | May 01 11:00 |
| matey | but it might have a point somewhere | May 01 11:00 |
| barto | true | May 01 11:00 |
| matey | i have a low opinion of the fsf | May 01 11:00 |
| matey | they sold out | May 01 11:00 |
| matey | but open source sold out 20 years earlier | May 01 11:00 |
| matey | and the biggest problem the fsf has, is letting open source in | May 01 11:01 |
| *novelist has quit (Quit: Connection closed) | May 01 11:01 | |
| matey | so open source isnt likely to impress me with THEIR critiques, which ive already been familiar with for 20 years | May 01 11:01 |
| matey | a lot of which are bs | May 01 11:01 |
| matey | if i want open source bs i can get that from the fsf now :) | May 01 11:01 |
| barto | so is it worth supporting the FSF anymore? | May 01 11:02 |
| matey | i mean i dont think fraud should be rewarded with money | May 01 11:02 |
| matey | and i think the fsf is a fraud now | May 01 11:02 |
| matey | but that doesnt mean open source is LESS of a fraud | May 01 11:02 |
| matey | its the same scam that it always was | May 01 11:02 |
| matey | so i dont recommend supporting the fsf | May 01 11:02 |
| matey | when has throwing money at corruption ever made it better? | May 01 11:03 |
| matey | support alternatives | May 01 11:03 |
| matey | (but not open source) | May 01 11:03 |
| barto | are there even alternatives to FSF? | May 01 11:03 |
| matey | it was a lot simpler when the fsf wasnt corrupt | May 01 11:03 |
| matey | sort of? | May 01 11:03 |
| matey | just one example, leah rowe is working on a federation for free software | May 01 11:03 |
| matey | i think there will be more examples | May 01 11:04 |
| matey | the nice thing about a federation is its a way for those examples to work together sometimes | May 01 11:04 |
| matey | without all being assimilated or having to agree on everything | May 01 11:04 |
| matey | i think SOME things are very important to agree on | May 01 11:04 |
| matey | but some disagreements we can have without abandoning the common goal | May 01 11:04 |
| matey | federation helps with that | May 01 11:04 |
| matey | federation is also going to take a while to establish | May 01 11:05 |
| matey | so far, its taken 5 years. but i dont know if leahs been working on it that long. | May 01 11:05 |
| matey | these are starting points | May 01 11:06 |
| matey | when there are real options, youll see them coming from starting points like these | May 01 11:06 |

| matey | give money to projects | May 01 11:06 |
| matey | the orgs mostly suck | May 01 11:06 |
| matey | of course, some projects will need an org | May 01 11:06 |
| matey | like openbsd has an org so they can take donatiosn | May 01 11:06 |
| matey | thats okay | May 01 11:07 |
| matey | others use sfc | May 01 11:07 |
| matey | i would never support sfc | May 01 11:07 |

| matey | yes! | May 01 11:11 |
| matey | the fsf awards are batshit | May 01 11:11 |
| matey | some good people got them too though | May 01 11:11 |
| matey | i think lawrence lessig is one of the greatest people on earth | May 01 11:11 |
| matey | he got one... years ago | May 01 11:12 |
| matey | awards are... you really cant count on them | May 01 11:12 |
| matey | they tried to give henry kissenger a nobel PEACE PRIZE | May 01 11:12 |
| matey | he refused | May 01 11:12 |
| matey | i mean its ridiculous | May 01 11:13 |
| matey | at least kissenger understood how ridiculous that would be | May 01 11:13 |
| matey | but war criminals get peace prizes, its a thing | May 01 11:13 |
| matey | kuhn got a free software award | May 01 11:14 |
| matey | its a farce | May 01 11:14 |
| matey | i wonder if theres a field that extends around it | May 01 11:16 |
| matey | like if reality itself actually bends around that thing, or what | May 01 11:16 |
| matey | thats what bullshit ultimately does | May 01 11:16 |
| matey | it bends reality | May 01 11:16 |
| matey | sometimes it breaks things | May 01 11:17 |
| matey | it also warps the people that use it | May 01 11:18 |
| matey | like a spell that turns on the person who casts it | May 01 11:18 |
| matey | a little bullshit is like sugar, people eat it and usually dont die | May 01 11:20 |
| matey | but make a lifestyle out of it and youll be a fat idiot in his 40s that looks like penfold from dangermouse | May 01 11:20 |
| matey | maybe thats too specific | May 01 11:20 |
| barto | lol | May 01 11:20 |
| matey | he does look like penfold though | May 01 11:20 |
| matey | i only presume hes in his 40s | May 01 11:20 |
| barto | looks close enough | May 01 11:21 |
| matey | ricky gervais said that ross kemp looks like zippy from rainbow :) | May 01 11:23 |
| barto | never heard of rainbow | May 01 11:24 |
| barto | also | May 01 11:25 |
| barto | openRC < runit ? | May 01 11:25 |
| matey | i mean | May 01 11:25 |
| matey | if your goal is to avoid github? definitely | May 01 11:25 |
| matey | should that be a goal? hopefully | May 01 11:25 |
| matey | but thats the criteria that makes runit the better one | May 01 11:26 |
| matey | there may be other criteria that do the same | May 01 11:26 |
| matey | openrc is github, rc.d (openbsd) is not | May 01 11:26 |
| barto | gentoo does have runit repositories but it's not fully supported | May 01 11:26 |
| matey | oh yeah, i mean | May 01 11:27 |
| matey | thats the thing | May 01 11:27 |
| matey | you can have no init at all. | May 01 11:27 |
| matey | but then things that need the init... youll have to do something else with those | May 01 11:27 |
| matey | you cant fix everything at the same time | May 01 11:28 |
| matey | so if init is too much trouble, use the default and fix it when you can | May 01 11:28 |
| matey | but systemd is worth fighting | May 01 11:29 |
| matey | if youre using anything else... its a start. | May 01 11:29 |
| matey | i wihs more people knew how much stuff is on github | May 01 11:29 |
| matey | because if your init isnt, then 100 other things are. | May 01 11:29 |
| matey | its still worth fighting, but itll be years before we can be free of that shit | May 01 11:30 |
| matey | its impossible to make every bug your highest priority | May 01 11:30 |
| matey | you can triage | May 01 11:30 |
| matey | i got tired of the linux kernel | May 01 11:31 |
| matey | i found a way out of that | May 01 11:31 |
| matey | at the same time i found my way out of systemd | May 01 11:31 |
| matey | openbsd is (like many things) compiled with llvm | May 01 11:31 |
| matey | guess where llvm is developed! | May 01 11:31 |
| matey | did i recompile everything with gcc? nope | May 01 11:32 |
| matey | would it be cool if someone did? yep | May 01 11:32 |
| matey | would it still be ibm instead of microsoft? | May 01 11:32 |
| matey | yes. weve got a long fucking way to go. | May 01 11:32 |
| matey | microsoft and ibm have set free software back a decade or two | May 01 11:33 |
| matey | thanks, arseholes | May 01 11:33 |

| matey | eh | May 01 11:34 |
| matey | when people figure out how bad it is | May 01 11:34 |
| matey | theyll fight harder | May 01 11:34 |
| matey | but the movement needs a reboot | May 01 11:35 |
| matey | too much apathy | May 01 11:35 |
| activelow | the entire industry, wasted two decades | May 01 11:35 |
| matey | activelow is fighting c++ :) | May 01 11:35 |
| matey | i think if nothing else, it sets a good example (im not fighting c++ yet) | May 01 11:36 |
| barto | why fight c++? | May 01 11:36 |
| matey | (i think, better c++ than rust) | May 01 11:36 |
| activelow | if there was a fast and efficient c++ compiler | May 01 11:36 |
| matey | youd have to ask him | May 01 11:36 |
| activelow | same with rust | May 01 11:36 |
| matey | but i know part of it is that gcc requires c++ to compile c :) | May 01 11:36 |
| matey | and he thinks thats perverse | May 01 11:37 |
| matey | which it might be | May 01 11:37 |
| activelow | i consider rust merely yet another language frontend of the compiler | May 01 11:37 |
| matey | but its not | May 01 11:37 |
| activelow | wrong | May 01 11:37 |
| matey | rust is a pretend programming language | May 01 11:37 |
| matey | which is so unstable that its basically cloud-based | May 01 11:37 |
| matey | c++ is not like that | May 01 11:38 |
| *DaemonFC has quit (Quit: Leaving) | May 01 11:38 | |
| matey | i would like to know how important boost is though | May 01 11:38 |
| matey | to the c++ ecosystem | May 01 11:39 |
| activelow | major products rely on boost, such as LibreOffice, QT4/5 | May 01 11:40 |
| matey | there you go | May 01 11:40 |
| matey | so boost of course, is github based | May 01 11:40 |
| matey | but so is libreoffice | May 01 11:40 |
| matey | and qt is self-hosted | May 01 11:40 |
| matey | but at least it needs libffi, libpng and boost | May 01 11:40 |
| matey | all of which are github deps | May 01 11:41 |

| matey | "The plan has never actually changed, but our way of framing it has changed entirely. We de-commoditize protocols. We add features we want and deprecate ones that people rely on, and we tell them to get with the program. We create the same kind of lock-in (in practice) by decreasing the compatibility with trusted development tools and utilities, so we can move more quickly (and drag users along) from one industry fad to another." | May 01 11:43 |

| barto | greetings | May 01 11:47 |
| matey | o/ | May 01 11:47 |
| SomeH4x0r | matey: on Qt: iirc they at some point closed stuff behiind a paywall | May 01 11:47 |
| SomeH4x0r | no idea if just binaries or source code as well | May 01 11:48 |
| matey | lol | May 01 11:48 |
| matey | well the sooner qt dies the better | May 01 11:48 |
| matey | maybe IT will get forked | May 01 11:48 |
| matey | either way i dont recommend kde to anyone | May 01 11:48 |
| matey | but qt is more than just kde | May 01 11:48 |
| SomeH4x0r | barto: btw, Uplink is written in C++ and no idea if it would work on OpenBSD. Perhaps it will if there is some compatibility thing. | May 01 11:52 |
| matey | activelow is the one at war with c++ | May 01 11:52 |
| matey | i still think its better than rust | May 01 11:53 |
| SomeH4x0r | deathcamel57 disappeared at some point, and then he came back for a day saying he is busy with other stuff | May 01 11:53 |
| matey | though id love to be read of boost :) | May 01 11:53 |
| matey | rid of | May 01 11:53 |
| SomeH4x0r | no idea if he will continue working on Uplink | May 01 11:53 |
| activelow | matey: i am not at war with c++, i retreated from it | May 01 11:53 |
| matey | thats a fair distinction | May 01 11:53 |
| matey | but its also a quibble | May 01 11:54 |
| matey | /me has seen enough of uplink to think you could do similar with pygame and enough interest in creating a similar game | May 01 11:55 |
| activelow | any version later than gtk-2.6 (year 2005) is not acceptable; couldn't confirm yet if a re-integration of the older version is possible | May 01 11:56 |
| matey | gtk-2.6 makes unicode optional or something? | May 01 11:56 |
| activelow | the dependency graph of GTK2/3 are chaotic | May 01 11:57 |
| activelow | for gtk-2.6 an older pango version suffices, without harfbuzz | May 01 11:57 |
| matey | i criticise some of activelows decisions | May 01 11:57 |
| activelow | not sure how this affects unicode; although unicode font rendering does not require harfbuzz | May 01 11:58 |
| matey | but his research sets a very useful example, whether you agree with each individual decision or not | May 01 11:58 |
| matey | hes also using gentoo to do all this | May 01 11:58 |
| activelow | ideally i could ditch gentoo tooling, or make it optional... because i do not appreciate the heavy python dependencies of their portage build system | May 01 11:59 |
| activelow | nonetheless, the dependency tracking with gentoo is superb | May 01 11:59 |
| matey | i do not appreciate the heavy python dependencies <- yeah thats rough | May 01 12:00 |
| activelow | yet, it would be preferrable, if a system could be maintained without it, with a clean and simple dependency graph of components | May 01 12:00 |
| activelow | matey: python is ok; i am sceptical it is attached to the build system | May 01 12:00 |
| matey | /me wishes there was a very lightweight fork of python... with python2 strings | May 01 12:00 |
| matey | python is ok <- python 3 isnt even a language | May 01 12:01 |
| matey | its another webapi | May 01 12:01 |
| activelow | i want to remove python from the build-time dependencies, not run-time | May 01 12:01 |
| activelow | in comparison, i want to remove c++ as both build-time dependency _and_ from runtime | May 01 12:02 |
| activelow | c++ is far worse, btw., in conjunction with python/swig, which is written in c++, and python/swig is required to compile u-boot loader <- ouch. | May 01 12:02 |
| matey | Freedom 3: The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements (and modified versions in general) to the public, so that the whole community benefits. | May 01 12:04 |
| matey | how anyone is supposed to modify any of this | May 01 12:04 |
| matey | when its all becoming a giant ball of interdependent nonsense | May 01 12:05 |
| matey | its funny, because the entire ecosystemd has basically turned into the fucking european union | May 01 12:06 |
| matey | /me cant even say ecosystem without adding d ffs | May 01 12:07 |

| DaemonFC | "It obviously has no idea what in the hell is going on out there and that it's penalizing you for avoiding accidents and filing insurance claims that cost them money, and so if this is the best they've got, they need to yank it until they can do better." | May 01 21:49 |
| DaemonFC | "I'm not really sure whether I should send this through UPS. It is contaminated with gasoline fumes. The reason I wanted to return it is because it is actually incompatible with my vehicle and was causing "Check Gas Cap" errors from the computer, which went away when I installed an AC Delco gas cap." | May 01 22:23 |
