[00:00]	MinceR	but why would a state of nazi america be proud of a gun used to kill nazis?
[00:00]	IsambardPrince	Well, it should be.
[00:02]	IsambardPrince	The Thompson Submachine Gun wasn't on the ballot, that one killed a lot of Nazis too, but it was very expensive to make so it wasn't as widely used in the war. 
[00:02]	IsambardPrince	Eventually that got fixed when the US started passing out the M3 "Grease Gun" which is also sadly not on the list in Idaho.
[00:11]	IsambardPrince	"CNN Voter Poll shows stunning indictment" of Trump's economy, analyst says"
[00:11]	IsambardPrince	Hell, I could have made a stunning indictment too.
[00:11]	IsambardPrince	Tariffs caused 20-30% price hikes at Walmart.
[00:11]	IsambardPrince	Tariffs stopped all new job growth for a year and a half, and ongoing.
[00:11]	IsambardPrince	Tariffs caused American savings to plunge to a 20 year low.
[00:11]	IsambardPrince	Tariffs caused the Fed to hike rates, fucking up the bond market, and adding 1% interest to the 30 year mortgage, causing anyone who buys a house to lose tens of thousands of additional dollars to the bank.
[00:11]	IsambardPrince	The fucked up bond market, is causing people to pile out of stocks that are risky, to look for exorbitant interest rates on all of the national debt that Trump caused.
[00:11]	IsambardPrince	Trump's war caused gas to double and diesel to nearly triple, and the diesel prices led to hundreds of trucking company bankruptcies, farmers that cannot profitably produce food crops, and Trump to sign an agreement to buy diesel from Russia that will be used to purchase cruise missiles and drones that kill Ukrainians.
[00:11]	IsambardPrince	Trump has officially taken the side of Russia, a terror state, and Putin, the worst war criminal in Europe since Hitler.
[00:14]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, The New York Times says that the Republicans are behind in the vote so far (with 39% counted) in Marlin Stutzman's district in Indiana.
[00:14]	IsambardPrince	If they lose a House seat in Indiana, this is going to be a total wipeout.
[00:16]	MinceR	:)
[00:24]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I grabbed a bucket of chicken tenders (2.5 lb) from Jewel Osco, and then instead of buying a $6 bottle of Chik Fil A sauce I just went into Chik Fil A next door and grabbed sauces out of the sauce recovery boxes on the trash cans. I had coupons that made the bucket of tenders $5 at the grocery store. Then I had made some potato salad at home from Pressure Luck's recipe.
[00:24]	IsambardPrince	It's really the sauce that makes Chik Fil A so much different than just grabbing a bucket of tenders at the deli.
[00:26]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I like Kiki. She's like a dog sometimes.
[00:26]	IsambardPrince	She likes to play fetch.
[00:27]	IsambardPrince	She's figured out that if I throw a silvervine stick she gets to chase it and chew on it, then she brings it back to me in her mouth, and I throw it, and she gets to chase it again.
[00:29]	MinceR	people who work at a chicken farm are chicken tenders too
[00:33]	IsambardPrince	:)
[00:33]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, What gets me is that people don't stash condiments from fast food places, so over the year it adds like $100 to their grocery bill.
[00:34]	IsambardPrince	Then they get mad because an electric bill comes and it's $100.
[00:34]	IsambardPrince	That shows how psychological blind spots work.
[00:34]	IsambardPrince	You toss a thing of ketchup and a thing of Chik Fil A sauce in the cart, you just added $12 to that grocery run.
[00:40]	parsifal	LOL!! --->  https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/144b0036-a7f4-4ff8-bedf-f73e5ee5cd04.jpeg
[00:43]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I posted:
[00:43]	IsambardPrince	To fund the tax cuts for the wealthy in Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill", he threw 7 million people off of food stamps.
[00:43]	IsambardPrince	Two days ago, I read a news report that says that this caused a run on food banks, and now the US Department of Agriculture is implementing a $500 million dollar emergency program to buy food for food banks.
[00:43]	IsambardPrince	This is an example of Congress writing a bill that the CBO can score as less devastating to the federal deficit over the ten year window, to get around the Statutory Pay As You Go Act, and the Byrd Rule.
[00:43]	IsambardPrince	When CBO scores a bill, it counts structural cuts to mandatory entitlements (like SNAP) as guaranteed long-term federal savings.
[00:43]	IsambardPrince	CBO scoring models generally do not measure the secondary, downstream fiscal drag and emergency appropriations, like funding TEFAP (for food banks) instead of SNAP (food stamps).
[00:43]	IsambardPrince	Unlike food stamps, which have a rigorous check for eligibility and a very low rate of fraud or misallocation, TEFAP food banks generally just asks the person coming in for food to "self-declare" that they need food. Meaning that a lot of that food goes to people who are not in dire need or would not be allowed to have food stamps.
[00:52]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, The Democrats could flip Florida's Senate seat.
[00:52]	MinceR	04 014039 < parsifal> LOL!! --->  https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/144b0036-a7f4-4ff8-bedf-f73e5ee5cd04.jpeg
[00:52]	MinceR	sadly, it's not debian's
[00:52]	IsambardPrince	82% of the vote in, the Democrat is ahead by slightly less than 1% of the vote so far.
[00:53]	MinceR	debian is now a thin veneer over whatever microslop wants to shove down your throat this time
[00:54]	IsambardPrince	Also a nailbiter in West Virginia.
[00:54]	IsambardPrince	Man, the Republicans look like they're having a bad night so far.
[00:54]	IsambardPrince	Though it's early.
[00:54]	MinceR	i hope the "democrats" have the guts to impeach the pedophile king ASAP
[00:54]	IsambardPrince	All of the states where they're typically ahead by double digits are a fraction of a percentage point.
[00:55]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Impeach? Not hard.
[00:55]		*includeals has quit (Quit: ZNC - https://znc.in)
[00:55]	IsambardPrince	The House just has a vote.
[00:55]	IsambardPrince	Convict? Not without 60 Senators.
[00:55]	MinceR	yeah, that's why they need to win the senate
[00:55]	MinceR	but they also need to dare to actually do it
[00:55]		*includeals (~includeal@bl18-27-126.dsl.telepac.pt) has joined #techrights
[00:56]	IsambardPrince	Well, winning the Senate just means you got 51 seats. (Or 50 if the Vice President is the same party.
[00:56]	IsambardPrince	So the Democrats need at least 51 to "win".
[00:56]	IsambardPrince	But you can't do anything substantial without 60 other than Reconciliation bills.
[00:56]	IsambardPrince	And blocking presidential nominees.
[00:56]	IsambardPrince	Which is good, but it's not everything.
[00:56]	IsambardPrince	60 seats is almost impossible to hit, for either party.
[00:57]	DarwinElf	in the '0s I liked Lenin & Stalin.  By 2010s I like Linus & Stallman
[00:57]	MinceR	if they can impeach the pedophile king (including conviction), they can impeach (and convict) any other nazi party king, can they not?
[00:57]	IsambardPrince	The numbers that matter in the Senate are 41, 50 (or 51), and 60.
[00:57]	DarwinElf	i no longer follow The Party of Lenin.  I joined the foundation of Stallman
[00:57]	IsambardPrince	If you win less than 41 seats, the majority party will do absolutely anything it wants.
[00:58]	IsambardPrince	If you win 41, you can filibuster things that can be filibustered, as long as everyone sticks together in the minority party.
[00:58]	DarwinElf	yeah, but they won't stick together
[00:58]	IsambardPrince	At 50 (or 51 if the VP is not the same party), you control committee assignments, budget reconciliation bills, and whether the president can appoint judges and positions in the executive branch that need confirmation.
[00:59]	IsambardPrince	At 60, the majority can do anything it wants.
[00:59]	IsambardPrince	The reality is someone always gets "in the 50s" and forms the majority.
[00:59]	IsambardPrince	Then they go through seeing how much stuff they can attach to reconciliation bills.
● Nov 04
[01:00]	IsambardPrince	In the House, the party with the most votes does whatever it wants, as long as it sticks together. If they get a huge majority, they can lose some votes from their own members.
[01:00]	IsambardPrince	There is no filibuster, the closest thing is the House Minority Leader can talk as long as he wants.
[01:01]	IsambardPrince	But that's not a law, it's the rules of the House, which have to be passed at the beginning of the current Congress.
[01:02]	parsifal	<MinceR> sadly, it's not debian's - the picture is funny, and the fact that it diverges just a tiny bit from reality... well, thats just how it is
[01:02]	MinceR	:>
[01:02]	parsifal	im not happy with the current situation either, and i say this as someone who has been using Debian for decades
[01:02]	MinceR	i used debian too, right before they pulled their bait-and-switch
[01:03]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I'm just hoping the Democrats can take both chambers even if it's not by a very huge margin.
[01:03]	MinceR	same
[01:03]	IsambardPrince	I'd rather them take both with a few seats to spare in each than just one.
[01:03]	IsambardPrince	And if it is just one, that it's the Senate.
[01:03]	IsambardPrince	The House is easier to win, but it doesn't block Trump's appointments.
[01:04]	IsambardPrince	If the Democrats just refuse to confirm any judges, there will be 100-120 vacancies on the federal courts by the time the next president takes office.
[01:05]	IsambardPrince	If that's a Democrat, they can just transmit a list to the Senate with 100-120 nominees on day 1.
[01:05]	IsambardPrince	That's about 1/8th of the entire federal bench.
[01:05]	IsambardPrince	All at once.
[01:05]	MinceR	i hope the pedophile king fucked his own party hard enough that a different party will have to take its place
[01:05]	IsambardPrince	That's a "big fucking deal" as far as "day 1" stuff goes.
[01:05]	MinceR	they aren't republicans anyway
[01:05]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, The Pedophile King did not hit the ground running with judges this term.
[01:06]	IsambardPrince	By the end of his first year he'd barely confirmed any.
[01:06]	IsambardPrince	The Senate has to start a process that takes a while after receiving nominees.
[01:06]	IsambardPrince	So the process doesn't even get going until they have them.
[01:06]	IsambardPrince	Which is why you need to have a list to send them on day 1.
[01:06]	IsambardPrince	He did not.
[01:23]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Indiana's 5th District has the Democrat way ahead.
[01:23]	IsambardPrince	The Republicans drew that one to favor them. The old 5th district map was about to become a swing district, so they rewrote the 2020 version to nudge it their way.
[01:24]	IsambardPrince	This was one of the reasons Trump was pressuring them to do another redistricting this year.
[01:25]	IsambardPrince	They realized it would go badly and figured they might be able to stop loss it.

[01:37]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Kalshi is predicting 56 Democrats/44 Republicans in the Senate.
[01:37]	IsambardPrince	They're predicting 259 Democrats in the House and 173 Republicans.
[01:38]	IsambardPrince	They also predict the Democrats are going to flip enough state Governor offices to take 30 of them, 19 Republicans, 1 too close to call.
[01:38]	IsambardPrince	That would be a very good night.
[01:42]	IsambardPrince	Kalshi says 98% chance Democrats control the Senate. 99% for the House.
[01:42]	IsambardPrince	Hmm, House went to 100%.
[01:44]	MinceR	nice
[01:48]	MinceR	i also like how leo/brave search knows whom i'm referring to by "pedophile king"

[02:52]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, That redistricting of Texas has seemingly backfired horribly on the Republicans.
[02:52]	IsambardPrince	It looks like they threw at least most maybe all of those five seats to the Democrats.
[02:53]	IsambardPrince	And in California, which passed the Election Rigging Response Act, the Democrats will pick up the five seats there.
[02:53]	IsambardPrince	Kahlshi now predicts 264/163 for the House with Democrats in the majority.

[03:02]	parsifal	MinceR: Thats clear, but what do you use instead of Debian?
[03:02]	MinceR	void linux, bedrock linux and openbsd

[03:06]	parsifal	No worries :) Bedrock is a very interesting project. Voids support for a lot of hardware is lacking, at least from what Ive observed.
[03:06]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, There was a Microsoft "news" site talking about how many hundreds of changes they made to get it to run on 8 GB RAM.
[03:06]	IsambardPrince	I was like "XP ran comfortably in 1 GB. 2000 ran very well with 512 MB."
[03:06]	IsambardPrince	"All the stuff they're talking about tweaking shouldn't even be in the OS to begin with."

[03:08]	MinceR	i doubt backdoors 2000 ran very well with anything, but maybe it did not experience much memory pressure with 512 MB
[03:12]	parsifal	That is generally the case, but its not all just about the kernel, even within the kernel, there are various nuances that can vary significantly depending on external factors.

[03:53]	IsambardPrince	He used to just get on the phone with the governor of Ohio, or Georgia, or Texas, and say "Jump!" and the only thing they did was ask "How high?"

[05:17]	IsambardPrince	Wayne County (Detroit) is sitting at 3% and some other Democrat strongholds are sitting at like 40-50%.
[05:17]	IsambardPrince	It looks close right now, until those very blue counties report and then it won't be close.

[05:46]	IsambardPrince	I posted:
[05:46]	IsambardPrince	Most of the results are in.
[05:46]	IsambardPrince	The Republicans lost, and they lost badly.
[05:46]	IsambardPrince	They lost so badly that if they lost any worse, they'd almost have to invent new places where they could lose.
[05:46]	IsambardPrince	The voters have spoken, including many voters who supported Donald Trump two years ago.
[05:46]	IsambardPrince	They agreed with what I've said all along. 
[05:46]	IsambardPrince	I said the economy would be a disaster. Trump made it even worse than I thought it would be.
[05:46]	IsambardPrince	He created huge tariffs that completely destroyed the buying power and savings of American households everywhere in the country, and stopped jobs growth cold from April of last year, to now, and ongoing.
[05:46]	IsambardPrince	He completely screwed up interest rates, which made every kind of debt more expensive, from government debt, to your credit cards, car loans, personal loans, and credit cards.
[05:46]	IsambardPrince	7 million Americans lost their food and 9 million lost their medical insurance. Including 800,000 that he threw off the Affordable Care Act all at once and accused of fraud, with no evidence.
[05:46]	IsambardPrince	(Then the administration reversed it with tens of thousands but the mess continues for many people who did absolutely nothing wrong and qualify for their healthcare subsidy.)
[05:46]	IsambardPrince	He passed tax cuts for the wealthy, and nobody else.
[05:46]	IsambardPrince	He destroyed public health programs, that have caused "third world" diseases to soar, because nobody monitors them anymore or tries to keep them out of our country, and he spread the worst misinformation against safe and effective vaccines since Andrew Wakefield.
[05:46]	IsambardPrince	We're in a war when he said there would be no wars.
[05:46]	IsambardPrince	We're funding Russia's war against Ukraine because Trump jacked up diesel prices so badly with his war in Iran that we now have 7 Russian diesel tankers that we were sanctioning, steaming towards America with Russian diesel. 
[05:46]	IsambardPrince	Putin will use the money Trump gave him to murder women and kidnap children in Ukraine.
[05:46]	IsambardPrince	Russians are some nasty bastards. They deliberately target civilians and commit other war crimes. None of this is new, when they were in Afghanistan they would drop toys on the ground for children and put explosives in the toys so that the children would lose hands and arms when they picked up the toys.
[05:46]	IsambardPrince	Putin is just using the same tactics Russians have always used, and Trump is giving him money for Russian diesel.
[05:47]	IsambardPrince	Tonight, Americans rebuked Trump, and they did so with no reservation. They know the misery he's putting us through, they know the Russian terror state that he's funding.
[05:47]	IsambardPrince	Trump himself has two more years in office, and they will be horrible, but thanks to what American voters did tonight, we can stop most of his actions in their tracks with state-level resistance (the Illinois model) and a Congress that will give him nothing and approve none of his judges or appointees, and will begin to investigate his Secret Police force and other criminal co-conspirators.

[05:51]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], My partner said (regarding my mother):
[05:52]	IsambardPrince	"She was a nurse and doesn't believe in vaccines?"
[05:52]	IsambardPrince	I said,
[05:52]	IsambardPrince	"Yes. It's truly terrifying isn't it. She became a nurse so long ago that they taught her how to apply mustard plasters."
[05:58]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], What makes the midterm loss for the Republicans so stunning is that this was a really bad map for Democrats.
[05:59]	IsambardPrince	In 2028 they could use it as a springboard and potentially hit 60-62 seats in the Senate if people really want to stick it to Trump on the way out.

[07:58]	IsambardPrince	You'd expect him to say they cheated, in dozens of states, mostly ones controlled entirely by Republicans.

[08:00]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], It's so close in Mississippi that there's no telling who will win there.
[08:00]	IsambardPrince	The Democrat is ahead by 20 votes with 95.6% counted.
[08:00]	IsambardPrince	What makes this interesting is Mississippi actually has no state law governing a recount.
[08:01]	IsambardPrince	When it happens, who pays, etc.
[08:01]	IsambardPrince	Most states do.
[08:05]	schestowitz[TR2]	Mississippi is very right-leaning

[08:14]	IsambardPrince	With pictures of pumps that were not clear when they were taken.
[08:15]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], Lots of platforms to launch a presidential bid from all of a sudden.
[08:16]	IsambardPrince	I won't vote for Gavin Newsom if he runs in the Democratic primary in 2028.
[08:16]	IsambardPrince	We need a swing state or even a red state Democrat who is popular.
[08:17]	IsambardPrince	We need to peel off a state like Texas. With their electoral votes there's no way the Republicans win. They can't find that many somewhere else.

[10:11]	schestowitz[TR2]	the systems is controlled by a web UI
[10:11]	schestowitz[TR2]	we need to know if one wwindows machines controled many fridges
[10:11]	Righty	schestowitz[TR2]: The reason was because their proprietary software web interface contains hardcoded backdoor passwords that includes the date for example. Therefore the attackers could just login to the web interface with the backdoor password and set the temp.
[10:11]	schestowitz[TR2]	and what happened to   such a windows machine
[10:11]	schestowitz[TR2]	*controlled
[10:12]	schestowitz[TR2]	yes, but was the webUI acccessible ouutside the supermarket?
[10:12]	schestowitz[TR2]	if not, how did the attacked get into the network?
[10:12]	Righty	I believe the webUI was available over the internet provided the controller was connected to the internet, as looking at the firewall rules set, it allows ssh and https etc
[10:13]	schestowitz[TR2]	ttthe password part is less interestiiing because:
[10:13]	schestowitz[TR2]	atttttttt work i saw many companies that have text files with passwords in windows desktops
[10:13]	schestowitz[TR2]	for coleagues
[10:13]	schestowitz[TR2]	so it's possible that the real issue is the saboteur getting into their LAN
[10:13]	schestowitz[TR2]	oor how
[10:14]	Righty	In some cases, likely.
[10:14]	schestowitz[TR2]	let'swait and see
[10:14]	schestowitz[TR2]	one of us is researching it today
[10:14]	Righty	Of course danfoss is distributing GPLv2 and GPLv3 and LGPLv2.1 software with no written offer in sight; https://sm800a.danfoss.com/sw_shared/ https://sm800a.danfoss.com/Danux_shared/

[10:15]	schestowitz[TR2]	the webUI had them work as instructed
[10:15]	schestowitz[TR2]	the question is,
[10:15]	schestowitz[TR2]	who instructed
[10:15]	schestowitz[TR2]	and how
[10:15]	Righty	Blame the russians
[10:15]	schestowitz[TR2]	possibly

[23:34]	parsifal	^^^The price of this "enough" thing is disproportionately high for what you get, not to mention that by the time you actually receive it, it wont just be a mediocre phone that costs a lot of money, it will be electronic scrap that costs a lot of money.
[23:34]	parsifal	As for its small size, if I wanted a compact phone, I still have my Siemens ME45 ->  its in excellent condition and works perfectly, even though its 25 years old. Plus, its a real phone, not a bathroom tile.
