[20:02] schestowitz[TR2] So now we clean up a firmware patch for vs6624 sensors, and several microcode relocation patches for powerpc 8xx. Both are encoded as arrays of numbers in upstream Linux releases.

[22:05] nobody yes, of cause, but i cannot do online banking without the "passport app" [22:06] nobody and i cannot access various government services without this "passport app" [22:06] nobody germany, 2024 [22:06] MinceR how is online banking connected to it? the banking apps i've used don't talk to any national crap [22:07] MinceR the web ui of my bank does depend on using their app for logging in, but that doesn't seem to have anything to do with the state [22:07] nobody up until few years ago, various authentication schemes existed, which worked flawlessly, but Deutsche Bank deactivated (SMS Tan and ChipTan) and insist upon "passport app" in conjunction with some other malware you have to install [22:07] MinceR ic [22:08] MinceR can't you switch to another bank? [22:08] nobody not worth the effort MinceR, since government looted and plundered _all_ my savings [22:09] MinceR also, perhaps this authentication factor is just TOTP? [22:09] MinceR various apps can support that [22:09] MinceR (you scan a QR code to set it up, then you get a 6-digit code that changes every 30 seconds and you enter that as your second authentication factor) [22:09] nobody the "passport app" needs some web browser malware, it cannot be used with framebuffer posix terminal [22:12] MinceR yeah, i don't see much support for browsers other than those based on blink, webkit and possibly gecko [22:13] nobody hey, i would write a curses-console against a xml/webservices or json/rest api myself if that was possible; it isn't [22:13] nobody *curses-console utility [22:14] nobody i don't have a smartphone, i don't have any micros~1 computer connected to the internet, and some debian/firefox fails miserably on my beloved thinkpad that got 1GiB RAM [22:15] nobody funnily, shortly before christmas, some anonymous person had registered my email adress against an apple account - i didn't check the registation-confirmation link [22:16] nobody whoops, the fire-detection sensors triggered alarm... they're always doing this during winter at high moisture and temperature below 10degC in my appartment [22:17] nobody maybe they're too spying on me if i reside at my registered residence, some service technicians download some data from those sensors once a year [22:19] nobody anyway, most recent escalation was the letter from government proposing psychological evaluation of mine, since when i asked what those $100/gallon heating oil of "cheap russian gas" stamped onto my energy bill was [22:31] *Received a CTCP VERSION from Harambe [22:35] nobody Elon Musk recognized our "social democrat" chancellor an "incompetent fool" [22:35] nobody nowadays, online, i couldn't articulate such an opinion anylong without legal threats for "violation of the integrity of public institutions" [22:36] nobody not that i ever did, other than the fact i am a little irritated since when my mental condition is questioned by government bureaucracy ● Jan 21 [23:40] *jelly has quit (Remote host closed the connection) [23:48] *jelly (jelly@00012145.user.oftc.net) has joined #techrights
