[00:36] DaemonFC A vending machine company in Illinois was taking people's fingerprints when they ordered sandwiches, snacks, and drinks out of it. [00:36] DaemonFC So they owe me $600 because I purchased a sandwich from one of their machines. [00:37] XRevan86 Also Finland having a long-term contract with Gazprom makes me think that the only real reason why they rejected the silly ruble demand that has no bearing on reality is that it forces Gazprom to violate and terminate the contract. [00:38] XRevan86 Which is a clean exit for Finland from the contract that would've otherwise haunted them for 9 years. [00:39] DaemonFC You could say the gas deal blew up on Putin. [00:39] DaemonFC Most of the people he's trying to "negotiate" like this don't really need the stuff that badly. [00:39] XRevan86 Putin made a statement and with that single statement worsened the situation for Russia. [00:40] DaemonFC Well yeah, because now Finland isn't going to buy any Russian gas which hurts the Russian economy. [00:40] activelow XRevan86: i think there is a misunderstanding [00:40] XRevan86 activelow: By you? :) [00:40] DaemonFC After Ukraine throws them out, it will probably join NATO. [00:40] activelow which is, the supposed gas supply shortage is not caused by Putin [00:41] activelow instead, within "EU" various political actors aggressively agitate "climate change" etc... [00:41] DaemonFC Had Russia bargained to withdraw immediately in exchange for neutrality from Ukraine, they could have gotten that, months ago. [00:41] DaemonFC At this point about half the equipment Russia sent in with the invasion is destroyed or captured. [00:41] XRevan86 activelow: The situation is actually very single, I don't get what ye don't understand here. [00:41] XRevan86 * very simple [00:41] activelow for various reasons, including excess taxation cash grabbing, while Gazprom supplied gas at 20Euro/MWh... i spare you the details, what the surplus margin is within "EU" [00:41] DaemonFC The US sent "defensive weaponry", but the thing is our stuff works. [00:42] activelow now, various political lunatics, in "EU", not russia, struggle with their bullshit propaganda [00:42] XRevan86 activelow: Ye previously said that there are no long-term contracts, and that's bad for Europe. [00:43] activelow because, energy prices exploded, regarldes of any "war" wherever, the energy prices in EU are not realted to this [00:43] XRevan86 Meanwhile, there is a literal long-term contract, that exists, and which Gazprom violates and terminates, *because* Mr. Putin said a stupid thing. [00:43] activelow now, "EU" propaganda apparatschiks intend to deflect and blame Putin [00:43] activelow XRevan86: "sanctions", which were pushed by "EU" [00:44] XRevan86 activelow: Finland is not doing it because of the sanctions. [00:44] activelow if Gazprom doesn't receive orders nor payment, then gas supplies vanish [00:44] DaemonFC If Germany hadn't set out to shut down their nuclear power plants, you wouldn't be in this horrible quagmire involving Russian gas. [00:44] activelow furthermore Putin clearly stated there isn't any conflict between Sweden/Finland and Russia [00:45] XRevan86 activelow: Let me tell you again: the old payment scheme and the new payment scheme are close enough that EU doesn't even consider the change as a violation of sanctions. [00:45] activelow Putin expressed concern only about this: NATO weaponry at the borders of the russian federation [00:45] DaemonFC The unified German government decided to turn off nuclear power plants that worked, and would still work today. [00:45] DaemonFC Claiming that they were "unsafe" and then they started buying Putin's blood gas instead. [00:45] XRevan86 activelow: The ruble mess is _nominal_. Understand? [00:45] activelow XRevan86: tbh. not really, i do not understand yet what the rublefication means [00:46] DaemonFC Putin hasn't stabilized the value of the Ruble, he's just instituted policies that return the appearance of normality even though the economy is ruined. [00:46] XRevan86 activelow: Do I have to explain what they did again? [00:46] activelow i only noticed, in the local grocery store, excess inflation, prices for bread +30%, although reports were germany produced all wheat it requires and doesn't depend on imports [00:46] activelow which, again, i do not believe was related to Putin or Gazprom [00:47] activelow it is a cash grabbing scam again by "EU" or "german" government [00:47] XRevan86 activelow: So after Putin made that demand, Gazprom realised that they have to conform but also keep the clients, so they proposed a new scheme: the clients pay in Gazprombank in whatever currency, then they internally convert it to rubles and that is considered the payment. [00:47] XRevan86 activelow: Trust me, this is what happened. [00:48] DaemonFC You can make a currency worth almost anything you want, per unit. [00:48] DaemonFC China and Japan have been maintaining Dollar pegs for years by buying US Treasury Bonds. [00:48] XRevan86 activelow: Most EU countries accepted the terms because who even cares. [00:48] XRevan86 activelow: But some, like Finland, considered it's not worth it, and declined. [00:48] DaemonFC China can give that up, but they would ruin their biggest customer and create lots of unemployed angry people in China. [00:49] XRevan86 activelow: What this means is that de-facto Finland terminates the long-term contract, but de-jure Gazprom terminates it. [00:49] XRevan86 So Gazprom is culpable here. [00:49] XRevan86 and it is Putin and Gazprom who gave that exit for Finland, which additionally makes them culpable. [00:50] XRevan86 * to Finland [00:50] activelow i do not think it is Gazprom or Putin at fault, it is the EU propaganda bullshit [00:50] XRevan86 In what world is that not a very self-harming thing to do? [00:50] XRevan86 This is not propaganda, this is literally events. [00:51] XRevan86 Things that happened. [00:52] activelow you see, those EU propaganda prostitutes in politics and tv... to safe the climate and social ecological justice and this and that... this justified excess looting and plundering, _within_ EU, this is unrelated to russia and gazprom [00:52] activelow the problem within EU, is the financial and economic disparaties, corruption, mis-management [00:53] XRevan86 I said things that are very much related to Russia and Gazprom. [00:53] activelow energy price explosion was extreme within "EU", long before the "war", without any impact on "climate" or "justice" blah [00:54] activelow now they seek an excuse, why this excess taxation cash grabbing didn't have the desired effect on "climate change"... evil dictator Putin they say now [00:54] XRevan86 I prefer things that are concrete. [00:54] XRevan86 There is simple cause and effect here, very clearly visible. [00:55] XRevan86 If that doesn't fit into your broad scheme, then maybe it has a poor connection to reality or none at all. [00:55] activelow furthermore, EU cheated Russia/Gazprom, by devaluating Euro currency [00:56] activelow "EU" propaganda now argues, the recent inflation was caused by Putin... which is ridiculous propaganda [00:56] activelow because, the last data i read about was Gas for 20Euro/MWh [00:56] XRevan86 In what fscking world is that true? Relative to ruble both USD and euro cheapen right now with such a degree individual fluctuations are not even noticeable. [00:58] MinceR https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/grind [00:58] TR Bot Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal - Grind [00:58] XRevan86 It's also probably the first time most economists see strengthening of a currency has a bad thing. [00:58] MinceR presumably in the dream world of russian state media [00:58] MinceR in which the date is no later than 2022-feb-27 [00:58] XRevan86 It is actually strengthening, but there is a nuance, several actually. [00:59] IPFS IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 21.15 k/sec., IPFS upstream 28.43 average k/sec., average swarm size 429.05 [00:59] XRevan86 MinceR: One catch is that Russian economical isolation made currency conversion significantly less prevalent. ● May 22 [01:00] XRevan86 Another catch is that exporters from Russia are obligated to sell 80% of their foreign currency profits, i.e. buy rubles. [01:01] XRevan86 And it seems that because they have to do it, and expect losses, they are inclined to buy rubles at a loss. [01:01] XRevan86 And that in turn makes the ruble more expensive. [01:02] XRevan86 And then there are restrictions for who can even buy USD and euros in Russia. [01:02] XRevan86 All that combined makes the ruble rapidly gain cost. [01:02] XRevan86 I'm curious how far it'll go. [01:03] activelow what exactly would Russia import with Euros or USD? and too the chinese did rublefy their trade with russia [01:03] activelow XRevan86: is there anything you couldn't by with Rubles? [01:05] MinceR anything that isn't produced in terrorussia [01:06] MinceR or at least not produced _or_ sold [01:06] MinceR a Big Mac, for example :> [01:09] XRevan86 activelow: Show me anything that China buys from / sells to Russia for rubles.

I'll probably write about what I find. [12:21] DaemonFC According to Brita, it's 6 months, but what they also say is "or 120 gallons". The standard ones say 2 months "or 40 gallons". [12:22] DaemonFC We go through water way faster than 40 gallons every 2 months. So I usually just change the standard cartridge every month or so. [12:23] DaemonFC The ion exchange resin eventually gets spent and the filter doesn't do a great job anymore. [12:23] DaemonFC The most important point about water is getting it in you, and that's hard to do if it tastes bad. [12:24] matey They lie and fabricate, when they're stretching the truth that already feels like an accomplishment. [12:25] matey And of course there's literally no accountability [12:25] DaemonFC It's hard to come up with a quantifiable method of filter replacement advice. About all you can do is take the average tap water and base the manufacturer recommendations on that, but everyone has different problems with their water. Even within the county I live in, different municipal systems have better or worse tap water. [12:25] matey sounds familiar [12:26] DaemonFC In Fox Lake, you're lucky to get 10 gallons out of a "lead removal" rated filter before it clogs up entirely, but in Waukegan you can easily do at least 80 gallons. That was my experience when Great Value still made them, anyway. [12:26] DaemonFC I'll be very surprised if the Brita Long Last filter actually gets anywhere near 120 gallons before I can't stand the flow rate anymore. [12:27] TR News "Wikidot (and by extension the SCP Wiki) is down until Monday." gemini://station.martinrue.com/ [12:27] DaemonFC So far, nothing that filters over 95% of lead as stated by NSF standard 52 lasts more than about 80 or 90 gallons with Lake Michigan as the municipal water source. [12:28] DaemonFC The standard Brita filters can easily go on for a very long time without clogging, so unless you set your phone to remind you to change them out, you won't remember to. [12:29] DaemonFC I switched to the standard Brita from the Great Value Lead Removal filter because Walmart got out of the water filter business, and Brita actually has patents to make their filters flow well anyway. When I tried using Walmart's standard Brita compatible cartridges, I ended up taking them back to the store. [12:30] IPFS Planet Gemini updated.

They had a terrible problem with (air pocket) clogging and 2. They made the tap water taste even worse than it did coming out of the faucet. [12:30] DaemonFC It's hard getting decent results out of a gravity-fed water filter system. [12:31] DaemonFC Either you accept mediocre filtration ability to get a better flow rate, or you accept that it's going to take a long time to filter the water to get more stuff out. [12:31] DaemonFC I've been drinking water out of a Brita system since the 1990s when they were the latest fad appliance. [12:32] DaemonFC So anywhere I go that I don't have one at hand, I usually am disgusted by the taste of the tap. At the same time, Walmart does have those "water island" machines. [12:33] DaemonFC The problem with those is you don't know what the servicing schedule is like. When California investigated, they found that many were so poorly maintained that they were actually dangerous to get water from. The water going in met EPA standards at least, but the water coming out had problems such as coliform bacteria that would have violated had it happened at the treatment plant.

For how long? | WGN-TV [19:30] DaemonFC I commented. [19:30] DaemonFC "Washington (AP) - Three heroic consumers braved the burning wreckage of the Biden economy today to support the American way of living. Between all of them, they could afford three gallons of gas and a day's worth of groceries. Their combined income was $200,000 a year, which in the past 12 months has been reduced to $20,000. [19:30] DaemonFC When reached for comment about the ordeal, Elon Musk accused all three of them of just not wanting to work hard enough and said that he'd vote for Donald Trump to come back and pass more trade amendments to allow Tesla to flee to China without consequence." [19:30] activelow ... nice, no need for switching keyboard layout anymore for this, F1..F4 remapped to the regular codepoints to be happy with Vim [19:33] activelow not sure yet, if and how to cope with cyrillic, for this i need a cyrillic labeled keyboard, won't memorize three different layouts (de, us, ru) without a correctly labeled keyboard [19:33] activelow and mathematical expression... yet those are context sensitive and an sqrt/sin/tan etc. expand differently depending on context [19:34] activelow with C language the unicode glyphs are useless of cause, and sqrt should expand to the corresponding math.h function name at least [19:34] activelow within TeX typesetting context sqrt had to expand to the unicode glyph [19:35] DaemonFC schestowitz, Mom said she found something bizarre at "Dollar Tree". [19:35] DaemonFC Previously, everything in the store cost $1, hence the name. [19:35] DaemonFC When I used to shop there 17-18 years ago, you could actually get some decent stuff for $1. [19:35] DaemonFC In fact, I even went there to get multi-packs of soap and high quality scented candles. [19:36] activelow and keyboards are missing the labeled keys for mathematical expressions anyway; i had wanted a Ti89 style numpad [19:36] DaemonFC But then as the years went by, they shrank the size and quantity of things, and then skimped on quality too. You could buy trash bags, but as soon as you threw anything in them, they'd tear and you lost them all. So I stopped shopping there. [19:37] DaemonFC A couple days ago, mom went in after they rebranded to Dollar Tree Plus. [19:38] DaemonFC She went to find a broom, and the broom was $1.25. But it was one of those little brooms that you have to get down on hands and knees to use, like if you broke a glass or something and needed to make sure you swept it all up, or a small mess. So she asked the worker there where the full sized brooms were. [19:38] activelow instead, what have we got, instead of an opensource texas instruments firmware? [19:38] DaemonFC It turns out that you could buy a handle that twisted into the small broom to make it a full sized broom, for another $1.25. And while they used to have a full sized broom, with a full sized handle, with a dustpan included, now you have to buy the dustpan, for $1.25. [19:39] DaemonFC So the set that cost $1 5 years ago is now $3.75 if you want a full sized broom and a dustpan. [19:40] DaemonFC I told her last time I was in there was years ago, and they had "$1 ribeye steaks, frozen" and I said "I don't even want to know what's in that.". [19:40] DaemonFC Well, fortunately, there's the Internet, so other people bought them and reviewed it. It's as nasty as you'd suspect. [19:41] DaemonFC I told mom that inflation whittled away the cheap dollar store a long time ago. I used to shop there even when I worked at Walmart because you could get things like a 4 pack of full sized bath soaps at the Dollar Tree for $1. Now they're 2 travel sized bars and they want $1.25 for it. [19:43] DaemonFC So really you pay triple for the same volume of bath soap, and by this point, you're better off going to Walmart and getting a 8 pack of full sized bars for $3.98. [19:44] DaemonFC About the only way the Dollar Tree math works out in your favor anymore is if you need a bar of soap today, right now, Dollar Tree is right there, Walmart is on the other side of town, and gas costs $5.15 because Biden, and you just can't get by until your normal shopping day because you forgot to buy soap. [19:46] MinceR 22 171914 < activelow> what a joke, a liberal politician in german parliament shouted: "1 and 1 is 1 and not 3"...

[21:59] MinceR also works better with photos and video ● May 22 [22:00] activelow obviously not, with 16bit there isn't any noticable difference at all [22:00] activelow and with 8bit high quality photos look very good still [22:00] MinceR that is, _you_ can't notice the difference [22:00] activelow was surprised myself, 8bit color palette suffices, although with 8bit visual quality is slightly degrade, barely noticable [22:00] MinceR and high quality photos need the right palette and dithering to look even passable in an 8bit mode [22:01] activelow i converted various photos for testing into sixels, 8bit color palette, with very good visual quality [22:01] MinceR even in 24bit true color, a grayscale transition won't look perfectly smooth without dithering [22:01] MinceR (and afaik 32bit is just +8 bits of alpha or padding) [22:02] activelow yes, 32bit contains the alpha channel [22:02] activelow and with 8bit, a conversion into 256-greyscale is possible... [22:02] MinceR (or maybe something like a z-buffer) [22:02] activelow meaning, there is absolutely no need for any higher color depth than 8bit per pixel [22:03] MinceR there is a need for it [22:03] activelow and this would be 3x or 4x as fast often [22:03] MinceR just generate a plain gradient from #000000 to #ffffff with a length of 1000 pixels and observe [22:03] activelow sure, although i am not looking at gradients, i am looking at photos [22:04] activelow and the problem isn't 16/24/32bit, problem is 8bit mode is missing [22:04] MinceR the gradients demonstrate that not every color you can distinguish can be represented in true color [22:07] activelow 8bit color palette has another benefit, which is i am using yaft+dvtm, and yaft allocates a separate pixel buffer [22:08] activelow which is 64MiB RAM with 32bit per pixel, with 16bit it is roughly 32MiB... and guess what, with 8bit a FullHD pixel buffer would require ~16MiB only [22:10] activelow visual quality is very good nonetheless, framebuffer requires 75% less memory bandwidth etc. [22:11] activelow i think the raspberry can provide 8bit framebuffer, the rockchip with mali graphics cannot, not yet, i'll see to if i can hack it into [22:12] activelow and then, see again, what ffmpeg-sixel or mplayer/sdl-sixel could do [22:13] activelow tmux is known to tweak scrolling and terminal line buffer, meaning if alot of data arrives lines could be skipped [22:15] activelow which is, a problematic design, and yaft/dvtm don't do this, gladly; already tweaked yaft to improve performance, which is with 16bit framebuffer and some other tweaks to buffer sizes it's 4x faster already [22:18] activelow yaft is neat, it extends linux (and too netbsd/openbsd/freebsd) console framebuffer, with extended unicode support and sixels [22:18] activelow i think, some yaft features could be moved into linux kernel, which would improve performance of it further [22:21] activelow besides X11/wayland the real alternative is... yaft+dvtm... which are almost ready for production use [22:21] XRevan86 https://nitter.net/JuliaDavisNews/status/1528446862474194945 [22:21] TR Bot Julia Davis (@JuliaDavisNews): "On Russian state TV, political scientist Sergey Mikheyev summarized what seems to be the Kremlin's strategy in Ukraine: grab whatever Russia can get and later claim it was their goal anyhow.

Brita is among the best countertop models. BaronHK's Rants [22:21] DaemonFC "Amusingly, my mom bought a ZeroWater and ended up switching to Brita later when she complained about what it was costing her and asked what I recommended instead. [22:21] DaemonFC The stupid TDS meter was saying the filter was unacceptable about every 10 gallons or so, but that was if you could even get the ZeroWater to filter 10 gallons. More often, she had them plug up on her Indiana tap water and couldnt even get half of the manufacturers stated life expectancy out of the filter. [22:21] DaemonFC At that point youre paying between $1 and $1.50 per gallon of filtered water before the stupid ZeroWater is totally crapped up and useless. [22:21] DaemonFC This amounts to roughly 10 or 15 times the cost of Brita. [22:21] DaemonFC And when you consider that each person in your house uses about a gallon of water per day for drinking and cooking, you can see what the problem with that is. [22:21] DaemonFC All of a sudden, the Brita is costing you about $3 per person/per month, whereas the stupid ZeroWater system could cost you $45 per person/per month."

Like waiting for a quarter where grocery stores are 5% on the Capital One card and then quickly going over to Aldi or Jewel and buying up all of their store brand chicken instead of dealing with this Walmart bullshit where the only thing they stock anymore are the expensive chickens. [23:25] schestowitz_TR2 this month we saw whole chickens sold for one pound [23:25] schestowitz_TR2 that's like 1.2 dollars, I think [23:26] DaemonFC Walmart seems to have told their suppliers to stop giving them the chicken they normally sell for $2.69 and $2.99 a pound (thighs and breasts) and start only packaging the expensive national brands that cost $7-9 a pound instead.
