[00:12] IsambardPrince But it was a bad movie. [00:13] *FANTOM has quit (Ping timeout: 120 seconds) [00:13] IsambardPrince Basically a corrupt New York detective (iirc) goes to loan sharks for gambling money, loses it all, and cries, drinks and cries, snorts drugs and cries, jerks off in front of teenage girls in a car and cries, and then somehow solves the rape of the nun and doesn't take the guys in, but puts them on a bus out of the city because the nun doesn't want to pursue it, and cries, and then gets murdered by the loan sharks. [00:14] IsambardPrince There's absolutely nothing to like about the detective, at all, or the movie. I would say it would be one of the worst movies I've ever watched, and might have even been worse than Biodome. [00:20] IsambardPrince MinceR: It was sort of gross from beginning to end. [00:20] IsambardPrince He flashes his police badge at the girls and says "Hey, you ever suck a guy's cock?" [00:20] *Goblin has quit (Quit: Leaving) [00:20] IsambardPrince I'm like, "Uh, why am I still watching this?" [00:39] *FANTOM (~fantom@freenode-o96.spj.ifb87q.IP) has joined #techrights [00:44] MinceR (cat) https://imgur.com/gallery/april-30-KrkmjDL [00:44] TR Bot ( status 403 @ https://imgur.com/gallery/april-30-KrkmjDL ) [00:55] *includeals has quit (Quit: ZNC - https://znc.in) [00:55] *includeals (~includeal@bl18-27-126.dsl.telepac.pt) has joined #techrights [00:59] IsambardPrince A former Chick-Fil-A employee who was fired walked back in and rang up $80,000 worth of macaroni and cheese party trays. [00:59] IsambardPrince Then he refunded them to his own credit and debit cards. [00:59] IsambardPrince They caught him pretty fast because his real name was on the cards and he did it on security camera footage. ● May 02 [01:00] IsambardPrince I saw a crazy made up first name and immediately said "black guy" and looked at the security footage. Yep. [01:04] MinceR don't you throw shade on poor Jacquavius [01:10] *Received a CTCP VERSION from StatServ [01:45] IsambardPrince [19:04] don't you throw shade on poor Jacquavius [01:46] IsambardPrince I prefer embezzlers to the machine gunning the neighborhood ones. [01:48] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2]: Instead of Open To Work, MARISOL should put Open to Garnishment at Work. [01:48] IsambardPrince On the LinkedIn [01:48] MinceR i still prefer "crazy made up first names" to the 10000th person cursed with the same translation of the same jewish name anyway [01:54] IsambardPrince MinceR: Crapital One will garnish MARISOL soon. [01:54] IsambardPrince And I don't mean parsley next to a steak and potato. [01:54] IsambardPrince B-) [01:55] MinceR :> ● May 02 [02:14] IsambardPrince MinceR: Google AI says that it's highly likely Maricel and Mark file Chapter 13 bankruptcy. [02:15] IsambardPrince It says the alternative is that all the creditors "race to courthouse" and they spend forever being gangraped for 15% of their take home pay by each creditor in order of when they got in line. [02:15] *_what__ has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [02:16] IsambardPrince If they file Chapter 13, they'll be put on a 5 year repayment plan. With some interest. If it's not a pay in full plan, the remainder of the debt gets a discharge. [02:16] MinceR OH HI MARK [02:16] IsambardPrince But during that 5 years, if they miss payments the bankruptcy can fail and all the debt can come back, and the creditors can pursue them, and they will have a bankruptcy on their credit reports even though it didn't get a discharge. [02:17] IsambardPrince During the 5 years, they'll have to ask permission from the court to take on debt. [02:17] IsambardPrince Meaning there's unlikely to be more credit cards or car loans. [02:17] IsambardPrince She told Mandy a few months ago that they were doing great and just bought a boat and a Tesla. [02:18] IsambardPrince MinceR: If she was out there defaulting on credit cards, her credit rating is already ruined and it probably was before she defaulted on the first payment. [02:19] MinceR :> [02:19] IsambardPrince That's because the utilization metric is like 35% of your total FICO score, and if the credit cards are all maxed or above the limits, which will happen as they accumulate interest and late fees after non-payment, her credit score was probably in the 600s if that, even if there were no missed payments yet. [02:20] IsambardPrince The charge offs on the credit cards will be on her report for 7 years after the first delinquency where the account was never brought current again. [02:20] IsambardPrince But it gets worse because when you file bankruptcy, that's on there for 7 years if it's Chapter 13 and 10 years if it's Chapter 7. [02:21] IsambardPrince So even as your credit begins to recover from the charge off credit cards, then you're forced into bankruptcy, and filing bankruptcy takes it back down 150-200 points. [02:22] IsambardPrince She's not getting a great credit score again for a minimum of another 10 years probably. [02:22] IsambardPrince If she's very lucky, they will start approving her for credit cards that are not complete garbage about 3 years after the bankruptcy filing. [02:22] IsambardPrince But she doesn't know how to use credit cards and shouldn't have any. [02:23] IsambardPrince Well, I say 3 years, but she can't file a 7. [02:23] IsambardPrince So she can't even begin rebuilding her credit until 5 years after the 13 filing. [02:23] IsambardPrince So by that point her FICO will be awful. [02:23] *Righty has quit (connection closed) [02:23] IsambardPrince There won't be any active accounts or payment history, nothing. Just a 5 year old Chapter 13 bankruptcy. [02:24] *Righty (~Username@2kmhrdb9m33d6.irc) has joined #techrights [02:25] IsambardPrince MinceR: She went to a lawyer and paid them $2,300 to try to get Mandy's green card case thrown out. [02:25] IsambardPrince That probably went on a credit card. [02:25] IsambardPrince :D [02:25] MinceR :> [02:25] IsambardPrince There's no telling how many times she'll pay for that. [02:25] IsambardPrince Minimum payments don't pay off the card. [02:26] IsambardPrince They take care of the interest plus 1% of the balance. [02:26] IsambardPrince Trying to spite me probably actually ended up costing her $16,000 with interest. [02:30] *Goblin (~use@g5mtr4e86tp7q.irc) has joined #techrights [02:39] IsambardPrince MinceR: I sent Maricel a thing that says "Dave Ramsey says rice and beans and beans and rice." [02:39] IsambardPrince And a video where he says it means "cook at home, you're broke, don't go on vacation, you're broke, you have clothes in the closet stay out of the mall, you're broke" [02:39] IsambardPrince "People who spend more than they make don't end up anywhere but bankruptcy court."

[23:01] IsambardPrince Then they put a slightly newer version in the LTS that actually fails more tests, as a percentage, because they introduced some speed hacks into the code that made them slightly worse in compatibility with GNU Coreutils. [23:02] IsambardPrince The improvements to [23:02] IsambardPrince Errr. [23:02] IsambardPrince The improvements to "rust sudo" were mostly by mistake. [23:02] IsambardPrince Like total lack of LDAP and PAM support. [23:03] IsambardPrince It supports both, but it omits a lot of the "features" that "sudo.ws" had. [23:04] IsambardPrince Specifically the ones that made it hang sometimes when Fedora misconfigured it. [23:06] IsambardPrince One of the things I really hate about Fedora is that you can't read another user's files, but that's enforced by the OS, not necessarily because the drive is encrypted. So it breaks some things the user expects to work, while not providing any security by itself if the home folders are not ALSO encrypted. Unencrypted home folders is the default setting in Fedora. [23:07] IsambardPrince So when you set up something like minidlna, it's not running as you, it's running as its own "user" because the concept of users sucks and the done thing is to just create another "user" and litter the system with "users" which can mean users, or just some fucking program. [23:08] IsambardPrince There's not much of a reason to encrypt the entire disk when the user's files are in their home folder. [23:10] IsambardPrince SWAP and hibernation can end up having sensitive information on there, but hibernation has been broken for years by Security Theater Boot. [23:10] IsambardPrince And SWAP is overrated on modern systems that have better memory management and more RAM. [23:12] IsambardPrince Where SWAP matters more is if you're on a system with 16 GB of RAM, and since Windows has been so voracious, 16 GB has been pretty available for the last decade or so on a laptop. [23:12] IsambardPrince There's almost no amount of memory that can satisfy Windows. [23:12] IsambardPrince It's like a black hole for RAM upgrades.
