[00:51] activelow dvtm, it's small, 47KiB, furthermore it is a terminal multiplexer, something slightly different to a "window manager" [00:52] boldc___ terminal multiplexer sound right name for it [00:53] activelow comparable to tmux, yet i prefer dvtm, one reason being, even tmux which i considred relatively lightweight and efficient, tmux is 10x bigger in size than dvtm [00:54] boldc___ but must have more features [00:54] activelow not really [00:54] activelow furthermore tmux was _missing_ important support for a specific feature: sixels [00:54] boldc___ yes you talked about it [00:55] activelow there is some wild hacks floating around the internet for tmux-sixel... which are unstable and incomplete... practically not really useful [00:55] boldc___ its grafics related [00:55] activelow i think it is possible to fully support sixels with dvtm, on top of yaft [00:56] activelow i hope, far better support than what is available with tmux [00:56] activelow another huge benefit of dvtm is... easy remote shell access with ssh [00:57] boldc___ but you can watch picture with it?

[02:00] MinceR lol [02:01] activelow anyway, vim keymappings are a no-brainer, problem is the combination with de/re-attching with different terminal types [02:02] activelow "anti-competitive crap" ... escapes my intellect why function-key codes, home and end etc. do not match and even conflict between terminal types such as linux and xterm [02:03] activelow and with dvtm there is always two terminal types: the lower one dvtm attached to, and the upper one exposed to applications and user i/o [02:03] activelow now... it's working as it should [02:03] boldc___ you are supposed to switch keyboards has you change your terminals to match them [02:04] boldc___ meakes plenty of sense [02:04] boldc___ LOL [02:05] activelow ok, some DEC keyboards got 20 functions keys, yet it isn't enough to count 1..12..20, it must be abcde6..10??13..20 [02:06] boldc___ they should live stream the nazi pig execution live on twitch.tv [02:06] activelow X11 was a DEC project too, this company is defunct, and 20years later their "innovation" remains a headache [02:06] boldc___ in the same channel he used [02:07] activelow recently, to "improve" upon this further, X11 switched to evdev keyboard input, which again changed some keycodes and default mappings [02:07] boldc___ and make the users watch it [02:07] activelow this is how systemd sneaked into x11... [02:08] boldc___ nizi pig fried with free popcorn [02:08] activelow DEC OpenVMS -> microsoft windows NT... you see [02:08] activelow DEC X11 -> ... same thing [02:08] activelow i'll wipe this crap [02:09] activelow unicode is another story... [02:09] boldc___ hack it off activelow [02:09] boldc___ its all extra fat [02:09] activelow because, problem is, i want a LANG=C fallback, and be certain the basic terminal i/o remains intact with dvtm ... and guess what [02:10] activelow it works already... i spare you the details [02:11] psydruid so X11 and Wayland are both on the chopping block [02:11] boldc___ MinceR have you tracked down the video of the shooting? [02:11] psydruid might as well nuke the entire codebase [02:12] activelow i won't be using X11 anymore at all (and certainly not systemd-wayland, never) [02:13] activelow however, i must ensure i can attach a terminal from within x11, and need this for testing [02:13] MinceR didn't even try [02:13] boldc___ maybe in ircz? [02:13] psydruid I'm wondering what a modern windowing system would look like [02:13] activelow the final stroke to x11 was xterm (and suckless-terminal alike) linking against fontconfig, must-have... it's not optional [02:14] MinceR ircz doesn't mirror videos [02:14] activelow hence i do keep rxvt-2.7 too, which brings me back to the LANG=C fallback non-unicode... which does work already without screwing up [02:16] activelow i was hoping for iso8859 locale, and got flawless terminal output of it, keyboard input is still buggy [02:16] activelow reminder: iso8859 still is a _standard_, and it is not that old [02:16] activelow and it isn't deprecated [02:17] activelow ideally some terminal remained intact, which doesn't need to de/re-encode anything, and just process I/O with iso8859 (or any other) [02:18] activelow not only are some unicode implementations troublesome, too i had to scrape 20year old rxvt-2.7 sources to keep supporting an ISO _standard_ [02:19] activelow couldn't get any better... wait... IPv6... [02:19] MinceR i wonder what ISO/IEC 10646 might be, then [02:19] activelow that's the unicodeone [02:19] activelow unicode [02:21] MinceR yeah, and an ISO _STANDARD_ apparently :> [02:22] MinceR so if your criterion was that you wanted to pay a lot of money for the specs, there it is [02:37] TR News Yesterday's #boycottnovell-social and #techpol IRC logs ready.

[04:35] DaemonFC I usually do, yeah. [04:36] DaemonFC They're very expensive, but since they did the Mach 3 about 20 years ago I haven't shaved with anything else. Like, every time I try to save a little money I always go back because everyone else's razors snag or cut you. [04:39] DaemonFC Walmart has some that say Compare to Mach 3 or Fusion or whatever, and I did. [04:39] DaemonFC Out of the box, they feel like the Mach 3s that I toss after a couple of weeks. [04:40] DaemonFC Bic's razors are just as bad, if not worse. [04:41] DaemonFC Schick Xtreme 3 razors aren't too bad. [04:43] DaemonFC If you absolutely have to save a few bucks during a recession or something then that's where you'd go. [04:45] boldc___ you dont use shaving machine? [04:46] boldc___ it should be cheaper [04:46] DaemonFC An electric? [04:47] boldc___ yes [04:47] DaemonFC I had a Norelco for a while that my grandmother got for me. [04:47] DaemonFC They work, but they don't get close enough.

[04:50] DaemonFC I just shave while I'm in the shower. I use liquid hand soap on a wash cloth and go top to bottom, including my hair, and yes it works fine in my hair. [04:50] DaemonFC Then you can just shave while you're in there with the soap that's already on your face anyway; [04:50] DaemonFC "Nothing is more painful or more unsightly! than nicks, cuts, and ingrown hairs. Everyone has experienced the pain of a cut at one point or another." [04:51] DaemonFC Never had any of those with a Mach 3, only with the cheap store brand shit, and Bic. [04:52] DaemonFC Sometimes iBotta will put Venus razors (for women) on rebate and you can stock up on those. If you get a better price, they work just as well as the men's razors. But for the most part they make them pink so they can call them a women's product and charge more. [04:53] DaemonFC The only time I used Venus razors was when I got a stack of $5 off coupons and found them on sale at Kroger and I had so many of them I didn't have to buy razors again for like 5 years. So yeah, but they're basically the Mach 3 with a pink handle.

[19:06] DaemonFC Most of the problems previously were performance issues regarding XWayland. [19:06] DaemonFC Many of those went away with Intel's rewritten driver that uses Gallium3d. [19:07] DaemonFC There's just not much difference between running even a fairly demanding game on X11 and Wayland in Wine anymore, so I switched back to the Wayland session. [19:07] DaemonFC We're talking less than half a percentage point in fps either way, so if there is a difference it's indiscernible now. [19:08] DaemonFC It was like 10-15% in favor of X11, so I just used it all the time back then. [19:08] kiki so wayland has intel binary blobs ? [19:09] DaemonFC No, the Intel driver does though. The firmware component. [19:10] MinceR being unable to capture or warp the pointer is going to break some games, though [19:10] MinceR especially when running in a window or a multihead setup [19:10] DaemonFC But so does AMD. Nouveau is utter crap and even after Nvidia's new "open source" kernel module, you will still barely have any 3d performance from Nouveau, if it works at all. [19:10] MinceR but i'm sure poettering doesn't play such games [19:10] DaemonFC GNOME has a built in screen capture program now. [19:11] DaemonFC It's part of the screenshot tool that's been merged into the shell. It is no longer a separate application. [19:11] DaemonFC It dumps the screen recording out to a WebM file using AV1. [19:12] MinceR is that the "modularity" i hear so much about? [19:12] MinceR also, i was talking about capturing the pointer, not capturing the screen [19:13] DaemonFC https://www.lakemchenryscanner.com/2022/05/14/sheriffs-office-shares-story-of-complex-scam-that-nearly-cost-lake-county-resident-20000/ [19:13] TR Bot Sheriff's office shares story of 'complex scam' that nearly cost Lake County resident $20,000 [19:14] DaemonFC My favorite was when the guy on YouTube let a scammer into a remote desktop that was really Windows 95 running in VirtualBox. [19:15] DaemonFC The scammer didn't realize what Windows 95 was and mostly figured his way around it, but then when he started typing commands, most of it didn't work, with the OS saying that it couldn't find that program. [19:16] DaemonFC His first hint should have been that the GUI was clean, there was one obvious way to do things, and when you clicked on something, nothing unexpected happened. [19:16] DaemonFC Windows hasn't worked like that in over 25 years now, so there's your first clue something is wrong. [19:18] DaemonFC Microsoft doesn't do any usability studies. They basically look at how the Mac and Chromebook GUIs work, and then copy off of that, introducing ads, Bing, and Edge references. The OS hardly works at all on affordable hardware. They fired the QA team a long time ago and switched to "telemetry". [19:18] DaemonFC They actually used to have 5,000 product testers on salary to make sure the software basically worked before it went out. [19:19] DaemonFC They would have found most of the problems that Windows 11 had, and stopped it from going out until those were fixed. [19:19] DaemonFC But "early adopters" get hit with most of the really weird stuff now, and their computer just reports back what happened to them. [19:21] DaemonFC I switched to StarOffice early on due to Office 97 requiring me to install Internet Explorer. It would assume that you had it already on Windows 98, and of course I didn't, and then when the rendering engine wasn't there, half the Office programs didn't work. [19:21] DaemonFC So I found a boxed set of StarOffice at Staples. When the computer rang it up for one penny, I hurried up and bought it and started doing all of my homework assignments in that.

Nouveau is utter crap <- no, it isn't any better or worse than any other "GPU" within the DRM subsystem [19:48] DaemonFC Work on Nouveau seems to have mostly stopped since the IBM merger with Red Hat. [19:48] DaemonFC Even very basic support for new GPUs takes forever, and the 3d engine never works right. [19:48] activelow last time i tried nouveau, it was stable and fast, with a GT640 known to be supported by it [19:50] activelow however, the entire DRM subsystem is flawed [19:52] activelow kernel exposes /dev/fb0 on top of drm/kms subsystem at least, and within userspace there is that many reasosn to ditch libdrm and mesa entirely, it is moot to discuss [19:52] activelow if you accept non-free commercial rubbish then go for it, libdrm, mesa, opencl etc... [19:54] activelow on kernel-side, without DRM/KMS there isn't framebuffer support remaining for recent GPU, it is only some very old models which provide /dev/fb0 without drm/kms inside kernel [19:54] activelow another explanation, why kernel size blew up, because it isn't possible to remove DRM (direct rendering manager) from kernel without loosing almost all GPU support [19:56] activelow one argument for drm/kms was concurrent access to /dev/fb0, yet i am absolutely sure libsdl1 and libsdl2 for example can vt-switch without drm/kms [19:59] activelow so, although i am using /dev/fb0 fbcon together with libsdl1 for example, i cannot remove drm from kernel [19:59] activelow and meanwhile drm remains, i am not willing to merge any libdrm related, one reason being among many others the buildsystem of libdrm is cluttered with python/meson ● May 15 [20:01] activelow on ARM u-boot initializes hdmi output, and with X86 it is vesa vga bios, and i am using vesafb on x86 which allows mode-switching during system boot [20:02] activelow which is worth another rant, switching to FullHD with vesafb [20:03] kiki activelow > do you have any recommendations ?

[21:53] DaemonFC They have a really shitty government and haven't done anything to push back against it, and as far as the US "sanctions", those aren't even half their problems. [21:54] DaemonFC Their problems are government corruption, mostly. [21:54] DaemonFC And you're starting to see some US states with similar policies going the same way. [21:54] DaemonFC Illinois would have already defaulted on its debt had the Federal Reserve and the federal government not propped it up with "coronavirus money". [21:55] DaemonFC But nothing the state has used 90% of this money on is related to COVID, at all, even indirectly. [21:56] DaemonFC They borrow from a Fed bailout fund that technically any state could have dipped into, but only Illinois did because other states can get better terms in the private banking sector, or don't need the money because there's less corruption and more budget balancing going on, or at least they admit they require tax money to pay for what they want to do. [21:56] DaemonFC Then they use the Fed money to pay off higher interest debt. The debt doesn't go away, it's just owed to the Central Bank at lower interest, and it puts the entire nation at risk for what Illinois does next, and we dodn't even need to wait very long to find that out. [21:57] DaemonFC Because it proceeded to spend it all on vote buying for the upcoming election and corrupt public union contracts, and stuff, which puts them further into the hole.
