| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR: I get those neighbors everywhere, but the worst were in Chicago. | Aug 25 00:15 |
|---|---|---|
| DaemonFC[m] | MinceR How would you vote on a Progressive Tax in the middle of this? | Aug 25 00:30 |
| MinceR | ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ | Aug 25 00:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I'm trying to decide if it will do more good or harm. | Aug 25 00:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | 37 other states have them, and they're still there I guess. | Aug 25 00:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The Republicans are screaming the sky will fall in, but it mainly hits people making high six figure incomes or more. | Aug 25 00:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The Black Chamber of Commerce hates it. Why is there a separate Chamber of Commerce for black people? | Aug 25 00:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | 97% of taxpayers would get a tax cut, but only an average of about $1 per week. | Aug 25 00:33 |
| MinceR | Camera Obscura | Aug 25 00:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | On the flip side, the Governor says if it doesn't pass, he'll recommend an increase in the flat tax of over 25%, then everyone gets hurt, or spending cuts that goes after health, education, and first responders. | Aug 25 00:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | On balance, I'm leaning towards voting for the amendment. | Aug 25 00:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It seems a 25% tax hike or a cut to public services would really hurt us, but I'm not really expecting much of a tax break. | Aug 25 00:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It seems that everything that aims to make government live within its means just results in bigger deficits as they keep spending anyway and borrow at higher interest rates. | Aug 25 00:37 |

| schestowitz | need htop sound alerts | Aug 25 05:23 |
| schestowitz | does anyone know how to generate those? | Aug 25 05:23 |
| schestowitz | in konsole I can trigger alerts based on text | Aug 25 05:24 |
| schestowitz | but the feature isn't rich enough | Aug 25 05:24 |
| schestowitz | mostly limited to system bell events | Aug 25 05:26 |
| schestowitz | I don't want to install something like nagios just for that | Aug 25 05:29 |
| schestowitz | system notification would do | Aug 25 05:29 |
| schestowitz | or maybe something that's drawn on the terminal to get special attention | Aug 25 05:29 |
| schestowitz | that's for monitoring the sites | Aug 25 05:29 |

| schestowitz | suppose I could write out cpu/process to some html file | Aug 25 05:32 |
| schestowitz | and then process that remotely | Aug 25 05:32 |
| schestowitz | but seems inefficient | Aug 25 05:32 |

| schestowitz | men. forget about it, I'll just use visual alerts | Aug 25 05:42 |
| schestowitz | but maybe I can zoom parts of the terminal | Aug 25 05:42 |
| schestowitz | there must be a way/trick | Aug 25 05:43 |
| schestowitz | I think I found a way | Aug 25 05:46 |
| schestowitz | limit htop to about 15 columns | Aug 25 05:47 |
| schestowitz | with massive fonts | Aug 25 05:47 |
| schestowitz | and the colours are the alerts | Aug 25 05:47 |
| schestowitz | maybe I can associate colours with konsole sounds | Aug 25 05:49 |
| schestowitz | that would be ideal | Aug 25 05:49 |

| kingoffrance | he does "echo "Loading configuration file"" after loading it :/ | Aug 25 06:02 |
| kingoffrance | so i would move that :) | Aug 25 06:02 |
| schestowitz | I saw that one.. | Aug 25 06:14 |
| schestowitz | it generates the sound on the local machine | Aug 25 06:15 |
| schestowitz | not remote | Aug 25 06:15 |
| schestowitz | konsole it limited in what sorts of events it can use to trigger audio | Aug 25 06:15 |
| schestowitz | about 6 times of events | Aug 25 06:15 |
| schestowitz | mostly with system bell (on remote/local) as trigger/event | Aug 25 06:16 |
| schestowitz | I can't find for top or htop any toll that would add system bell for some thresholds | Aug 25 06:16 |

| kingoffrance | i dunno network audio system/esound ...what do ppl use nowadays? thats ghetto i know ... | Aug 25 06:21 |
| kingoffrance | pipe it over ssh perhaps :/ | Aug 25 06:21 |
| kingoffrance | ssh "control master" lets you re-use connections, but if it hangs it tends to hang all your connections IME | Aug 25 06:22 |
| kingoffrance | i dunno, cant you just touch a file on the server somewhere, and then the "client" notices it exists and plays a sound? | Aug 25 06:23 |
| kingoffrance | that means the client has to "poll" of course | Aug 25 06:23 |
| kingoffrance | so it has the downside that both "sides" are "polling" | Aug 25 06:24 |
| kingoffrance | or is that what yuo meant by the html thing :) | Aug 25 06:24 |
| kingoffrance | that the client could "poll" that | Aug 25 06:25 |
| kingoffrance | (over http[s]) | Aug 25 06:25 |
| schestowitz | [06:21] <kingoffrance> pipe it over ssh perhaps :/ | Aug 25 06:30 |
| schestowitz | I thought about it, but huge overhead | Aug 25 06:30 |
| schestowitz | if you want to monitor with seconds-apart samples | Aug 25 06:30 |
| schestowitz | [06:22] <kingoffrance> ssh "control master" lets you re-use connections, but if it hangs it tends to hang all your connections IME | Aug 25 06:31 |
| schestowitz | I resuse connections over ssh for file listing in dolphin | Aug 25 06:31 |
| schestowitz | but maybe once an hour | Aug 25 06:31 |
| schestowitz | *reuse | Aug 25 06:31 |
| schestowitz | [06:24] <kingoffrance> or is that what yuo meant by the html thing :) | Aug 25 06:31 |
| schestowitz | it would be easy to toss something into an html file or text file every few seconds | Aug 25 06:32 |
| schestowitz | and cheap cpu-wise | Aug 25 06:32 |
| schestowitz | but then you need to create an http/s request every x seconds | Aug 25 06:32 |
| schestowitz | so trasport layel doesn't need full encryption | Aug 25 06:32 |
| schestowitz | all it sends is a single digit | Aug 25 06:32 |
| kingoffrance | ok, glad i am not way off baes then sorry if i dont help | Aug 25 06:32 |
| schestowitz | you could even curl/wget it | Aug 25 06:33 |
| schestowitz | then process, issue system alert | Aug 25 06:33 |

| schestowitz | but I don't have that | Aug 25 06:34 |
| schestowitz | he wants to build me a rapi like his | Aug 25 06:34 |
| schestowitz | but it's expensive | Aug 25 06:34 |
| schestowitz | and I can make something simpler, without making http connections and polling | Aug 25 06:34 |
| schestowitz | but you know the itch-scratch thing | Aug 25 06:36 |
| schestowitz | you'd assume someone had the same problem already | Aug 25 06:36 |
| schestowitz | and that you can find an easy solution | Aug 25 06:36 |
| schestowitz | konsole can highlight in real time, based on contents, some text | Aug 25 06:37 |
| schestowitz | e.g. highlight in red some "hot" processes that pose a risk | Aug 25 06:37 |
| schestowitz | but it cannot generate sound alerts for these | Aug 25 06:37 |
| schestowitz | htop has colour built in, amber, red and green | Aug 25 06:37 |
| schestowitz | I partly use that | Aug 25 06:38 |
| schestowitz | in htop you have "|" | Aug 25 06:39 |
| schestowitz | denoting load unit | Aug 25 06:39 |
| schestowitz | so in konsole you can search for consecutive ones, then add highlight on top of highlight | Aug 25 06:39 |
| schestowitz | but... it would be nice if sounds too could be added to "match found" | Aug 25 06:39 |

| DaemonFC[m] | I think that the most compelling argument for Progressive Tax is that it's actually in force in 37 states. | Aug 25 07:03 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There's only like 9 left with a flat tax. | Aug 25 07:03 |

| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: This is the second time I've been presented with a constitutional amendment. | Aug 25 07:06 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I've never liked flat tax ideas. | Aug 25 07:07 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Billionaires like them. | Aug 25 07:07 |
| schestowitz | they lobby for them | Aug 25 07:07 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The richer you are the lesser that income taxes affect you, because you can make whatever you want and the percentage stays the same. | Aug 25 07:07 |
| schestowitz | they set them | Aug 25 07:07 |
| schestowitz | they impose these | Aug 25 07:07 |
| schestowitz | and they evade the tax | Aug 25 07:08 |
| schestowitz | e.g. using fake 'charities' | Aug 25 07:08 |

| DaemonFC[m] | They do pay a corporate tax to the state based on their operations in Illinois. | Aug 25 07:08 |
| schestowitz | they pay from reno | Aug 25 07:08 |
| schestowitz | they just funnel it from the state that suits them best | Aug 25 07:09 |

| kingoffrance | https://www.marketwatch.com/articles/the-disturbing-reality-fueling-this-bull-market-51598004009?mod=mw_more_headlines quote: In short, Deluard says, the “disturbing reality” is that we are now investing in a world in which what is good for the economy is bad for equities. “The stock market rally is conditioned upon… ever lower rates… and Gargantuan liquidity injections by central banks. In other words, the continuation of the bu | Aug 25 07:23 |

| DaemonFC[m] | They're having a hard time selling it. | Aug 25 07:28 |
| schestowitz | they sell it for the REAL price now | Aug 25 07:28 |
| schestowitz | not selling "lifestyle" | Aug 25 07:28 |
| schestowitz | and association, or staus | Aug 25 07:28 |
| schestowitz | these cost very little to make | Aug 25 07:28 |
| schestowitz | people would be better off drinking water | Aug 25 07:29 |
| schestowitz | the ones in aldi are cheap | Aug 25 07:29 |
| schestowitz | you could even melt some sugar into that water | Aug 25 07:29 |
| schestowitz | I make tea myself | Aug 25 07:29 |
| schestowitz | very cheap, nice taste | Aug 25 07:29 |
| schestowitz | water, kettle, no sugar, thank you | Aug 25 07:29 |
| schestowitz | you can reuse tea bags once or twice | Aug 25 07:29 |
| schestowitz | and they cost a penny each, almost | Aug 25 07:29 |
| schestowitz | the real cost then became a few kw per hour and water | Aug 25 07:30 |
| schestowitz | mmmuch healthier than pepsi/coke | Aug 25 07:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I mainly just drink filtered tap water. | Aug 25 07:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Tastes as good as Maricel's truck water. | Aug 25 07:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Probably good that I like water anyway. Apparently, this Bactrim stuff can give you kidney stones if you don't drink enough fluids. | Aug 25 07:31 |
| DaemonFC[m] | That's just what would make this year perfect. | Aug 25 07:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Criminal charges, beaten. Immigration nightmare...in progress. Bankruptcy? Been there, done that. Staph infection.....Check. | Aug 25 07:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | How about some stones? | Aug 25 07:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Thanks God. I always wondered what you meant by stone the people who stop believing in you. | Aug 25 07:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | schestowitz: I liked that episode of South Park where Kyle has an infected hemorrhoid and Cartman inherits a million dollars and buys a theme park. | Aug 25 07:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Kyle's in the hospital in agony and loses his faith, so his parents read him the story of Job, and in the end, Job lost everything. His family was killed. His property is gone. He's been covered in boils and stricken with all sorts of ailments. | Aug 25 07:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Which doesn't help their case for why he should keep believing, of course. | Aug 25 07:38 |
| DaemonFC[m] | There's a lot of crazy shit in the bible. One of the points I took from it is "Wow. This guy was one of God's most devout followers and God did THAT to him!". | Aug 25 07:39 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Of course, the Abrahamic religions don't really agree on everything that happened there either. Shock. | Aug 25 07:41 |
| DaemonFC[m] | What's really nutty is that this stuff just survives so long. Like, people believe it because their parents did, and their parents believe it because their parents did. | Aug 25 07:42 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Even when it's obviously and comically wrong, that's fine. Either they won't actually read it or they'll try to say you "just need to have more faith". | Aug 25 07:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | As if that's an answer. | Aug 25 07:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Something you go to for answers that raises 100 questions for every answer is a really pointless exercise. | Aug 25 07:43 |

| DaemonFC[m] | It's fairly obvious that Microsoft is behind this, because the FBI is also pushing people to give up Windows 7. It doesn't have as much spyware baked into it as Windows 10, and there are people out there who are perfectly happy to keep running it as a certain forum keeps slipping them EOL updates one at a time, intended for enterprise customers who pay obscene amounts of money. | Aug 25 21:18 |
| MinceR | maybe the FBI wants to be able to break into more PCs via the backdoors their friends in redmond gave them | Aug 25 21:19 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I think that as Windows goes, it would likely be less of a nighmare to patch Windows 7 one hole at a time, manually, with EOL updates, than to try to keep Windows 10 going. | Aug 25 21:19 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Microsoft shuffled everything around after Windows 7 and got rid of the Program Manager behind Windows 7, which was surprisingly stable. The GUI was also definitely their best since Windows 95. But then they went down this route with an incoherent interface that continues to make no sense at all, and Windows 10 is more unstable than Vista. | Aug 25 21:22 |
| DaemonFC[m] | It's not like you'll hear a lot about that except everyone who uses it knows how bad it is. | Aug 25 21:22 |

| DaemonFC[m] | It's a title for a project supervisor. | Aug 25 21:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Actually, there was progman.exe in Windows clear through Me and you could just put it in win.ini as shell=progman.exe instead of explorer.ex, if you wanted to. | Aug 25 21:23 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Or you could run it on top of Explorer. | Aug 25 21:24 |

| DaemonFC[m] | "40 people so far", yeah, but that's with the contact tracing that they bother to do (almost none) and with people who choose to answer (almost nobody will). | Aug 25 21:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So, really, hundreds or even thousands of COVID-19 cases were caused by the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and nobody will ever be able to put a number on that because it will all fade into the background of the unfolding national catastrophe. | Aug 25 21:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The Governor of South Dakota is an irresponsible cunt and she's even more of a useless idiotic tool of the Trump regime than the ones in Florida and Georgia. | Aug 25 21:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | She wasn't really worried about basic precautions because the rally brought money to her state and then the people who got sick would fan out and it would be a lot of someone else's problem. | Aug 25 21:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The government is so fond of reminding us, by way of stealing our incomes, mandating unemployment, making people ask for permission to accept employment, and arresting people for fictional crimes against the state, that it can do anything it wants to us at any time, yet it appears completely powerless to stop the COVID-19 disaster because it really doesn't care. | Aug 25 21:39 |

| DaemonFC[m] | What the government does is they use taxes as a trap. | Aug 25 21:56 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They lay so many taxes that even if you avoid some, you won't avoid others. | Aug 25 21:57 |

| DaemonFC[m] | The government to the real economy is like a car that leaks half the fuel you put into it between tanks. | Aug 25 21:58 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Well, it's not like there's a hurricane season every year or that Trump thought that FEMA might need money for something other than his 3 weeks of unemployment. | Aug 25 22:44 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So he caused the bill to die in Congress and then squandered FEMA money to try to prop up unemployment in red states for a few weeks. | Aug 25 22:44 |

| DaemonFC[m] | $46,000 fine and expelled 155 times was what one Liberty University student calculated what would have happened to Falwell Jr. had he been a student, before the next scandal broke, that he liked to watch their pool boy fuck his wife. | Aug 25 23:43 |
| DaemonFC[m] | I wonder what the Liberty University student policy would be for that. | Aug 25 23:44 |

| DaemonFC[m] | Yeah, a lot of people feel the United States has been TP'd enough. | Aug 25 23:49 |
| MinceR | don't they have just one candidate this time? | Aug 25 23:51 |
| DaemonFC[m] | They only did then too. | Aug 25 23:52 |
| DaemonFC[m] | By the time it gets to the convention, it's clear who won the most delegates. | Aug 25 23:52 |
