[00:32] MinceR :> [00:33] DaemonFC[m] Now, it does check the blue book value to make sure that you're not poor and driving a Cadillac from the 90s that's all rusted and sagging because the air ride went out. [00:33] DaemonFC[m] The bank balance and the two high blue book value Cadillacs are checks to make sure before it infects you. [00:33] DaemonFC[m] schestowitz said we'd get here though. [00:34] DaemonFC[m] Poor people would be viewed as "diseased spreaders" and the rich would let their guard down amongst themselves.

[14:22] schestowitz__ The web, in its current state, is bad for freedom. Free hosting providers only provide free hosting when its convenient for them. [14:22] schestowitz__ sysdfree community is mainly about articles and discussion. You can write your articles in some document format and upload them to Library Genesis (Libgen). Discussion can happen in an IRC channel. You can do comments by just prefixing the md5 (or whichever hash youd like) of a document which you upload to Libgen. This system gives you a lot more autonomy than the oligopoly of the web. People can just grep IRC logs [14:22] schestowitz__ with the hash for comments. [14:22] schestowitz__ Dont feed the web. We need to use the internet more creatively. [14:22] schestowitz__ You can also consider doing torrents for big files. A simple, static web page that gives an index for torrents and links to Libgen documents is quite easy to do. You can host an onion site yourself to provide simple indices. [14:22] schestowitz__ An IRC server doesnt take up a lot of resources either. You can host these on embedded devices these days. [14:22] schestowitz__ Even if you dont follow the above suggestions, I hope they give you some useful ideas. [14:22] schestowitz__ You can do both IRC and a static web page (onion site) over Tor. You dont even need to pay for a domain name, this way. [14:22] schestowitz__ Most people interested in this community are competent enough to work with Tor.

He could have done a Foundation around it. [17:07] DaemonFC[m] It's worked well for Blender, apparently. But corporate influence tends to find its way in. [17:07] DaemonFC[m] That's how Microsoft sits on the Foundations of Blender, Linux, and Rust. [17:08] DaemonFC[m] They're obviously plotting to do an MSJVM style hit job on Rust. [17:09] DaemonFC[m] They probably do find it useful. As schestowitz pointed out, Windows is spaghetti code that has piled up in C++ and even if they stopped doing anything but patching CVEs on it, they'd never run out. [17:10] DaemonFC[m] So a language that makes it hard to run into these types of issues makes it possible to start rewriting parts of Windows and other products in it to avoid future embarrassment in certain areas. [17:11] DaemonFC[m] There are parts of Windows where more issues come up than in any other components, especially the user interface shell. [17:12] DaemonFC[m] I believe them when they say they're readying it for a major overhaul. They probably plan, over years, to co-opt more open source, as they did with Chromium, to give them better foundations.

[17:56] DaemonFC[m] There's been pretty much no interest in revisiting code that was already written, which is why many vulnerabilities in Windows 10 exist in Windows NT 3.1 if it had that component. [17:57] DaemonFC[m] You can tell why. It's written. Stuff breaks if it changes. Maybe there's a way to do it better, but that costs money and needs more QA. [17:58] DaemonFC[m] So you write a new API to do what the last one should be and then they both exist. [17:59] DaemonFC[m] Even junk in userspace. Outlook Express last existed in Windows XP as a usable program, but the bulk of it wasn't removed until a couple of years ago from a build of Windows 10. ● Mar 15 [18:00] DaemonFC[m] I'm sure removing syskey.exe was sped along by the tech support scams, but they knew it was compromised soon after it went into 2000 and they never fixed it and just removed it over 20 years later.

[22:05] vmg3 It aids in the trade war and can be used as a war ticket [22:06] schestowitz__ businesses that relied on Microsoft aee f*ed at the moment [22:06] schestowitz__ I wodner if MS internal operations too are getting cracked [22:06] schestowitz__ many all data too will be leaked [22:06] schestowitz__ interesting time ahead [22:06] DaemonFC[m] It would allow you to make a backup copy (quite generous considering the industry now), off the original tape, but it wouldn't allow those copies to make a copy.

[22:07] schestowitz__ yea [22:07] schestowitz__ I know about that [22:07] DaemonFC[m] They can't even secure their own network and now Linux Defender. [22:07] schestowitz__ but that's "old" news [22:07] schestowitz__ I will mention this when I record [22:09] DaemonFC[m] When they can secure their own network they should then talk about Linux security, but they've never been able to secure their own stuff. [22:10] DaemonFC[m] Their DRM never worked. Their internal builds leak out all the time. Their source code leaks out all the time. [22:10] vmg3 M$ phone home [22:10] DaemonFC[m] All that means is that bad people have it and can study it but nobody can offer Microsoft a patch.

[23:04] vmg3 this is how they pressue [23:05] DaemonFC[m] The UK variant is becoming the dominant strain in the US, but we have better vaccines. [23:05] DaemonFC[m] So we may eventually extinguish this. [23:05] vmg3 *pressure [23:05] DaemonFC[m] They have that shitty AstraZeneca one that is causing blood clots even though it isn't. [23:05] DaemonFC[m] And since it isn't, but it is, that's why 5 governments have suspended vaccinations entirely. [23:06] vmg3 diplomatic and media public smear campaigns distract from the real problems [23:08] vmg3 If you read msm in au, everything is rosie [23:08] DaemonFC[m] Pfizer is claiming that a third dose will dial it up to 11. [23:08] *AVRS has quit (Quit: WeeChat 3.0) [23:09] DaemonFC[m] They're doing studies apparently. [23:09] vmg3 on children to no doubt [23:09] DaemonFC[m] Judging by the side effect profile of the second dose, maybe they're talking about the pain level. [23:09] vmg3 are you still giving them reports? [23:09] DaemonFC[m] I developed another side effect from the first dose recently. [23:10] vmg3 soundin like the cure is worse than the disease [23:11] DaemonFC[m] My lymph nodes in my chest appear to be somewhat swollen and a little sore. [23:11] DaemonFC[m] Nah. [23:11] vmg3 rash clots lethargy memory loss [23:11] DaemonFC[m] My second dose is in 6 days. [23:11] DaemonFC[m] I'm planning to go ahead with it. [23:11] vmg3 the body fighting [23:12] DaemonFC[m] I'd call the unpleasantness of the first dose a 2 maybe, and judging from what most people say about the second one a 4 to an 8, but the 8 being a person who had COVID previously and then took the vaccine. [23:12] DaemonFC[m] So big difference. [23:12] vmg3 I spoke to my chemist and they still know nothing [23:13] DaemonFC[m] Yeah, I'd rather have my immune system doing target practice against a dummy than have to learn by fighting the actual virus while it is colonizing my lungs. [23:13] DaemonFC[m] Also, possibly my central nervous system. [23:13] DaemonFC[m] It's a shit sandwich top to bottom, the whole situation. [23:13] vmg3 yeah, then everything is impacted [23:14] DaemonFC[m] It's likely that if it's this unpleasant to have it fighting off a single harmless protein that cannot replicate, that having it fight off a virus that is increasing exponentially is much worse. [23:15] DaemonFC[m] I think they probably chose a fine target for the vaccines and that they're largely holding up because they picked one that was least likely to substantially change. [23:15] vmg3 frustrated frustration [23:16] DaemonFC[m] The news was talking about the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Rotavac. [23:16] vmg3 I'd hate to be an 80+ year old with underlying conditions [23:16] DaemonFC[m] A third of the population of the world lacks access to acceptable drinking water, so Rotavirus is pretty common. [23:16] DaemonFC[m] Biden could be pushing anything through Congress. [23:17] vmg3 I kinda go blank when their names are mentioned sorry [23:17] vmg3 and most lightly are [23:17] DaemonFC[m] He should be pushing another $3 trillion for infrastructure grants to states to upgrade bridges, dams, and drinking water infrastructure. [23:17] DaemonFC[m] The Senate will be easier to get that through next term if the Democrats can flip another seat or two. [23:18] vmg3 the faces have changed but the crap remains [23:18] DaemonFC[m] Most of them wanted to do something about this for years but they'd be damned if they were going to hand it to Trump. [23:19] DaemonFC[m] You win elections based on what you accomplished or convincing people the other party is responsible for your suffering. [23:20] vmg3 I don't know anymore, they all have blood on their hands as far as i can tell [23:20] DaemonFC[m] The three biggest wins for Democrats were when they convinced old people Social Security was under attack in 2006, that George W. Bush was entirely responsible for the effects of the housing bubble and the banking crisis from the bipartisan Financial Services Modernization Act in 2008, and that Trump was entirely responsible for COVID in 2020. [23:21] DaemonFC[m] In no case was it entirely true, but they sold it. The most truth was this cycle with COVID. Trump was on stage playing it off and saying it would disappear dozens of times and holding superspreader rallies. [23:21] vmg3 people need to accept they all lie for profit [23:22] vmg3 national security is buisness more than protection of the people [23:23] DaemonFC[m] I'm a big believer that the best offense is a good defense. [23:23] DaemonFC[m] And that's why I'm always looking to protect my health instead of trying to figure out ways to deal with a much larger problem later. [23:23] vmg3 maybe, I think more in the past [23:23] DaemonFC[m] Especially teeth. Oh my god. Roy was right that dentists are pretty salty. They get in it for money, not to save people. [23:23] *wineroots has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [23:23] DaemonFC[m] But find yourself a good dental school like the one I go to. [23:24] DaemonFC[m] They just did $600 worth of preventive work on my teeth and charged me $15. [23:24] vmg3 yeah I can't afford a real dentist [23:24] DaemonFC[m] Those sealants they put in should arrest further tooth decay for at least 10 years. [23:24] vmg3 have a school just 300m away [23:24] vmg3 yeah ours is $32 on hte pension [23:25] DaemonFC[m] I was surprised because not only is the school so much cheaper than the dentist, but they have all of the latest technology. [23:25] DaemonFC[m] And it's so cheap. [23:25] vmg3 but thats $15 of your $ [23:25] vmg3 they are supervised by real guys/girls [23:26] DaemonFC[m] They put more money into the equipment at the school. [23:26] DaemonFC[m] I have to go to the dentist every now and then over the years and I'm like "Can you do that?" No. "Why?" We don't have the equipment. [23:26] vmg3 ours are not so keen on the specialty work [23:26] vmg3 extractions are quck and easy [23:27] vmg3 the plugs and stuff you pay extra for [23:27] vmg3 waiting times can be bad [23:27] DaemonFC[m] I'm probably going to have to take Mandy up to Wisconsin for some restorative work, but it surprises me that the schools are about 10 years ahead of the dentists. [23:27] DaemonFC[m] You would think with what dentists charge they could get better stuff. [23:27] vmg3 thats stuffs expensive [23:28] vmg3 better in their pocket [23:28] DaemonFC[m] Yeah, fixed investment. [23:28] DaemonFC[m] Like running a 20 year old car and patching it up because a new one is $40,000. [23:29] vmg3 even doctors here now are not so inclined to treat illness they rather have a govenment flow chart on saving money [23:29] DaemonFC[m] I got a loaner car one day and it had all of the latest safety crap that the government is about to mandate. [23:29] vmg3 even the chemists are involved [23:29] DaemonFC[m] Took it back when they were done on mine and they asked how I liked it. [23:30] vmg3 they are causing problems with safety [23:30] DaemonFC[m] I said, "I HATE that lane departure warning. It sounds like a cretaceous era mosquito buzzing around and fights you for the wheel.". [23:30] vmg3 yeah auto braking and lane sensors are horrible [23:30] DaemonFC[m] That's real safe. [23:31] DaemonFC[m] Fighting you for the wheel while you have as much room to merge as you're going to get and you're running out of ramp. [23:31] vmg3 I don't even like convex mirrors [23:31] DaemonFC[m] Thanks government. [23:31] DaemonFC[m] MinceR: ^ [23:31] vmg3 glad to be out of the industry [23:31] DaemonFC[m] Oh look, I can either fly into the guardrail or sideswipe someone, but hey, at least I didn't merge.

[23:51] schestowitz__ because they too grasp that [23:51] DaemonFC[m] Like, "What's in it for us!". [23:51] schestowitz__ yeah [23:51] DaemonFC[m] "Oh, a slave army. Cool!" [23:51] vmg3 yeah :) [23:51] DaemonFC[m] "They come make it work better because something annoys them and then we get free labor!" [23:51] schestowitz__ unpaid programmers [23:51] schestowitz__ tell them something about altruism [23:52] schestowitz__ throw them some "summer of code" [23:52] vmg3 the real hackers [23:52] schestowitz__ and tell them what to develop on shoestring budget [23:52] DaemonFC[m] So many people ended up pulling a build of Mozilla and putting it on their computer instead of "Netscape" that that didn't work out too well for the company. [23:52] vmg3 more than just code it's the innovation [23:52] schestowitz__ don't worry, more people not understand that [23:52] schestowitz__ that's also why more projects dump github [23:52] DaemonFC[m] I pulled Mozilla builds that said "Testing only." and used them as a daily driver. [23:53] DaemonFC[m] I thought they worked well enough and so did dad. [23:53] schestowitz__ bbiab [23:53] schestowitz__ need to extract text from pdf files [23:54] vmg3 could you send me a link please to the ftp i think [23:54] DaemonFC[m] Back then I had a website and I mentioned that "Mozilla says it's for testing purposes, but really it's Netscape minus a bunch of garbage. The XPI version of AOL Instant Messenger in Netscape instead of the ChatZilla IRC client in Mozilla is the only significant difference you'll care about, and that version of AIM doesn't even have all of the features of the normal program.". [23:55] DaemonFC[m] "You'd be better off with Trillian or GAIM anyway." [23:56] DaemonFC[m] And you would. A computer had 32-128 MB of RAM and everyone had their own IM software. [23:56] vmg3 everything thats old is new again [23:56] DaemonFC[m] And if you wanted to use all 4-5 of them that people were on, you'd have 80-90 MB of RAM used up by IM software. [23:56] DaemonFC[m] vs. maybe 10-11 with a multi-IM program. [23:57] vmg3 whatever happend to the killer app? [23:57] DaemonFC[m] I used to look for ways to do a lot more with less, and that's how I came across all of those programs that carved Windows 98 up like a roast, getting rid of the bloated shell, IE and stuff. [23:58] DaemonFC[m] You do a pass over Windows 98 with one of those things and suddenly 128 MB of RAM was a bottomless pit. [23:58] vmg3 yeah, roy was talking about usenet [23:58] DaemonFC[m] It freed up enough memory that the operating system had been using, normally, to run an entire web browser and Trillian. [23:59] DaemonFC[m] Why? Because of useless features for court case defense and the fact that a really terrible web browser was always running (IE) whether you ever used that computer on the internet or wanted to use IE or not. [23:59] DaemonFC[m] I still sit down at corporate-managed PCs or government ones and I go to look for a web browser, and it's IE.
