if he is indeed a free speech absolutist

Apr 26 00:55

CrystalMath

we'll be able to talk about vaccine microchips, ivermectin, etc... :)

schestowitz-TR2

schestowitz-TR2

an empty kingdom of joseon/lee

CrystalMath

twitter going empty?

schestowitz-TR2

yes

CrystalMath

i find that unlikely

schestowitz-TR2

many I see leave...

CrystalMath

where would all the people go?

schestowitz-TR2

nowhere

schestowitz-TR2

social control media bye-bye

schestowitz-TR2

they don't need to go anywhere, just leave

schestowitz-TR2

they can go ti matrix or irc

schestowitz-TR2

anyway, I am GLAD he bought it

schestowitz-TR2

it will accelerate the collapse

schestowitz-TR2

Lee took Freenode from 100k to almost nothing in just a few months

*goosestepping has quit (Quit: GOODBYE!!!)

we ended up with our own network, like we had been wanting for years

but twitter will still continue to provide a service

*techrights-ipfs-bot has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s)

CrystalMath

it will still work

schestowitz-TR2

like freenode

schestowitz-TR2

it works

schestowitz-TR2

but few actually use the thing

why did people ever use twitter in the first place?

schestowitz-TR2

good question

CrystalMath

and what is different now?

schestowitz-TR2

but twitter changed a lot for the worse

schestowitz-TR2

same for youtube

CrystalMath

i refuse to believe that it's the censorship that people love

that's what's gonna go, hopefully, or at least be transformed

schestowitz

you can see what it looked like before

CrystalMath

someone should buy discord too

Apr 26 01:08

CrystalMath

and liberate speech there as well

Apr 26 01:09

CrystalMath

aka, "we need yet another prince"

Apr 26 01:09

MinceR

yeah, someone should buy shitcord and close it down immediately

*techrights-ipfs-bot (~techrights-ipfs-bot@s44cwn8sugddy.irc) has joined #techrights

MinceR

and hopefully that's happening to twatter too

schestowitz-TR2

there is a sabotage theory

schestowitz-TR2

which was discussed in this network before

MinceR

maybe it will teach the failed species a few lessons on trusting other people with your data and your platforms

schestowitz-TR2

1) shut down speech of twitter "folks"

MinceR

(yeah, i know, fat chance. most humans can't find their own ass without a map)

schestowitz-TR2

(we know what their leanings are)

schestowitz-TR2

2) bury debt into twitter, then sink it with debt

schestowitz-TR2

3) use this to get low-interest loan from banks

schestowitz-TR2

4) turn it into a scamcoin-boosting network until it's shut down

schestowitz-TR2

let me take a complete backup of my account again

schestowitz-TR2

before they remove this featur

schestowitz-TR2

it's about 7GB compressed IIRC

Okay, car is going into the body shop next Monday....Yay! Fun times.

Apr 26 01:45

I've managed to root through all of the mechanical issues and servicing backlog.

Apr 26 01:45

DaemonFC

It's running....pretty good.

Apr 26 01:45

It's getting new fenders and some rocker panel rust removed. Nothing horrific.

Apr 26 01:46

DaemonFC

Minor paint touch ups.

Apr 26 01:46

DaemonFC

It's going to look very very good.

Apr 26 01:46

DaemonFC

Shaq took my estimate from the body shop next town over to his guy who said they were jacking me around and stuffing the bill and he can get all this knocked out for about $1,100 less than they were quoting me.

Apr 26 01:47

DaemonFC

For some reason they wanted OE fenders when there's an aftermarket, for example.

Apr 26 01:47

DaemonFC

Rust has gotten into the fender metal but that's easy to repair.

DaemonFC

Get new fender, paint fender, bolt fender on.

DaemonFC

schestowitz-TR2, Cars like mine are going for $15,000 or more on Carvana right now.

DaemonFC

This is getting nuts.

People today are generally buying junk in the new car market.

Apr 26 01:49

DaemonFC

So I mean like you want a $20,000 new car, it'll be a Kia. And it won't be $20,000 when they get done with you because they'll cram in interest, and "plans", and government taxes, and interest on the "plans and taxes", and a "fee" of $1,200 for "delivering it" why not.

CrystalMath │ Elon Musk buying twitter is a possible victory for freedom of speech <- and if elon musk buys hell next, maybe people can build snowmen there

Apr 26 06:02

matey

probably say the same if pudding bought twitter

Apr 26 06:03

matey

musk will use twitter for pro-himself propaganda and marketing like roy says

Apr 26 06:04

matey

theres 0.00x% chance that a propaganda platform will be used for "free speech" also

Apr 26 06:05

matey

the two concepts are at odds, the purposes are at odds

Apr 26 06:05

matey

where the platform owner does propaganda and marketing you can pretty much count on censorship sooner or later (or sooner)

The local car wash brags that they don't filter and reuse any water.

DaemonFC

So my guess is that they're using more than 50 gallons per car.

Gonad was frugal in some ways so he'd have more money for beer and cigarettes.

Apr 26 16:41

DaemonFC

One thing he did was his own car washes. He bought a pressure washing kit and washed his truck every Saturday including the underbody.

Apr 26 16:42

DaemonFC

He was a mechanic so even though his truck was a 1998 Dodge Ram, he could keep it going. He had friends in the semi business, so they let him use their repair bays and tools for free if it was going to be a major repair.

Apr 26 16:43

DaemonFC

The truck still worked fine and looked pretty good 20 years in. No rust or anything. Google Maps made a pass by his house like a month before he died and there's his truck sitting there, looking like the day he bought it.

Apr 26 16:43

DaemonFC

schestowitz-TR, That's one reason I like the Buick. I may not be qualified to do all my own repair work, but typically the labor hours are way less than the average car.

Apr 26 16:44

DaemonFC

Because the whole thing was basically a refinement of decades-old technologies from when they cared about whether it was going to be fiscally possible to do your upkeep.

Apr 26 16:45

DaemonFC

And so, as such, almost anything you need to get at is right there unless you need to yank the engine out for a rebuild or something.

Apr 26 16:45

DaemonFC

It's a level of technology that is easier to repair, so it will outlive even cars coming off the assembly line today.

Apr 26 16:46

DaemonFC

It's like countries with "modern militaries" that get unlimited funds (while the people eat out of trash cans to fund this) going "We have an entire fleet of nuclear subs!".

They're easier to fix. They know how to fix them, they'll be out there lurking around, and some day they might really embarrass a "modern" navy by blowing up something that was really expensive and sophisticated.

How is it going to look on CNN if some modern ship from the US, or UK, is out there in the Persian Gulf and gets blown up by something from the 1960s that Russia sold off when it went bankrupt in the 90s?

Apr 26 16:51

DaemonFC

It helps the company sell more product because when it starts malfunctioning, you can't take it down to Car-X and have them go "Oh, it's just a cheap sensor. Don't worry about it!" or "Oh, your brakes are squealing. We have ceramic pads for that that aren't astronomical.".

Apr 26 16:52

DaemonFC

I would say that 99 times out of 100 when the Check Engine Light comes on with your 3800 V6, it's nothing to sweat bullets over.

Apr 26 16:53

DaemonFC

It's probably just a $30 coil pack or a spark plug or a small vacuum leak that the shop can fix for $100.

Apr 26 16:53

DaemonFC

It's just a very very good engine.

Apr 26 16:53

DaemonFC

GM designed these things to be as simple as they could be to get the job done well.

Apr 26 16:54

DaemonFC

So I mean, you don't really even need to go to a mechanic when it says something like "Cylinder 1 misfire". If you have a screwdriver, do it one at a time, hook up the spark plug wire boots back in the correct order (there's 2 per coil), it's right there. You don't have to go digging into the engine.

It's literally two screws.

They even have it numbered which post on the coil goes to what cylinder! So if you replace the coils, you can just write the numbers on the replacement in sharpie marker or something.

Apr 26 16:56

DaemonFC

The coils are so cheap and so few that you may even just replace all of them to make sure the others don't give you any problems for a while.

Apr 26 16:56

DaemonFC

A lot of manufacturers do terrible things, like coil on plug, which is a nightmare because you have to get a wrench and start pulling them off the top of each spark plug, and if you have a I4, V6, or V8, you'll have 4, 6, or 8 coils, instead of 2, 3, or 4.

Apr 26 16:58

So pop the hood and if they're doing little things to make owning the car an absolute nightmare, figure that they do other things too.

The Germans are making cars where you can't pull a dipstick and check your transmission fluid and oil.

Apr 26 16:59

DaemonFC

You have to throw cardboard under the car overnight and get under there with a flashlight and look all around to see if it looks like anything has been leaking.

Apr 26 16:59

DaemonFC

If you're losing transmission fluid, there are other places besides the pan where it can be leaking from, and sometimes it won't leave puddles because it'll only do it under pressure while the car is on and so it'll throw some while you're driving. Then it's a BMW so you can't just check your fluid.

Apr 26 17:01

DaemonFC

If something is not known for being easy to maintain, you shouldn't even try to own it, because it'll age and you will lose.

Apr 26 17:02

DaemonFC

They're talking on financial websites, right, how you should "budget" for car repairs to eat up 10% of your household budget. 10%! On repairs, not car payments, car insurance....just repairs.

Apr 26 17:03

DaemonFC

So like, if you're pulling down $4,000 a month, they're saying $400 a month in car repair bills is "reasonable".

Apr 26 17:03

DaemonFC

The 2003 Impala with 300,000 miles on it didn't cost me 10% of our household budget to maintain, even as it was always doing something. It cost me maybe 2.5-3%.

So people give GM a lot of abuse over the 90s and 2000s stuff, but the truth is it really pales in comparison to what you can buy now even when it gets really old and you have it in the shop.

Apr 26 17:04

DaemonFC

They want people sandbagged with car payments all the time, and the car payments will be $800-900 a month on something new and decent, then you own it and I use "own" generously, because there will be $3,000 in subscriptions over 10 years to use heated seats and remote start that the car has built-in.

Apr 26 17:06

DaemonFC

And we absolutely will not be talking about any of these cars mjg59_ is developing software for being sold 14 years later to a guy that goes "Ehh, give it some adjustments and new fluids and deal with a small rust issue and I'll drive it for ten more years or more!" when the car is already 14.

mjg59_: thousands of fonts exist, almost all of them available as microsoft truetype or opentype, doesn't make a difference because i couldn't yet convert any with perfect quality

Apr 26 20:23

activelow

terminus pixel size 22 is acceptable, only misses few mappings and glyphs, which isn't a problem

Apr 26 20:24

activelow

the real deal will be sixel support, Knuth TeX, and output rendering on linux framebuffer console, and plotting onto 9/24pin epson matrix

Apr 26 20:24

*zleap has quit (Quit: Leaving)

MinceR

unsurprisingly, Backdoors already does font rendering in the kernel

activelow

something, a DEC VT could almost 50years ago already

MinceR

for truetype

mjg59_

activelow: It is basically impossible to turn a vector font into a bitmap font in a useful way

Apr 26 20:30

mjg59_

People produce vector fonts because they're more useful than bitmap fonts, not because there's any sort of conspiracy

bnchs

mjg59_, uhhh how do you think freetype's renderer engine works

MinceR

didn't stop rio from trying

bnchs

you can rasterize glyph

mjg59_

bnchs: For the majority of fonts, by making assumptions like "this character can be rendered differently depending on surrounding context"

Apr 26 20:34

bnchs

yes

Apr 26 20:34

mjg59_

Which isn't something most bitmap font renderers are capable of

bnchs

but if there's font rendering issues, then that's either the engine's fault or the designer's fault

bnchs

or maybe the parser

bnchs

it's a thousand things

mjg59_

Trying to transform a vector font into a bitmap font by just rendering each character once is going to look worse than having a proper rendering engine

Apr 26 20:36

bnchs

that's true

Apr 26 20:36

mjg59_

But the kernel doesn't have any concept of font rendering other than "This code point is represented by these pixels"

Apr 26 20:36

bnchs

there has to be a way to render vector fonts in opengl

*alextee has quit (Quit: Leaving)

bnchs

but problems like curves and circles make it somewhat harder

mjg59_

Best way to avoid this is to have the console handled in userland rather than in the kernel

MinceR

or maybe don't try to have the console do everything and the kitchen sink

Apr 26 20:38

MinceR

it should be there for troubleshooting

Apr 26 20:39

bnchs

console doesn't spray water

Apr 26 20:40

bnchs

so technically it can't do the kitchen sink

bnchs

that's what i was saying, if you have a raster display

activelow

MinceR: even with analog outpt, a vector is a digital format, which needs to be, sampled, whatever

bnchs

then the vector fonts have to be rendered and rasterized

Apr 26 20:54

MinceR

even if it's sampled, it's not a bitmap

Apr 26 20:54

activelow

anyway, there is another intermediate format, unifont hex, and a utility hex2bdf which supports -r <size> parameter, and then bdf2psf (which still fails when increasing the size from -r 16 to -r 32)

Apr 26 20:55

btw. with the GNU unifont.psf.gz produced from the Makefile, this file too is invalid, kernel complains

they don't rasterize

bnchs

they simply tell the monitor to display a certain amount of lines

bnchs

(i don't know how it works)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMli33ornEU

activelow

depends, on what type of "vectors" are involved, with a digital scope ("vector monitor"), the typical signal processing maths are required

Apr 26 21:11

activelow

the vectors are merely another mathematical representation, a digital one, of an analog signal

Apr 26 21:11

bnchs

it also depends if you're running it in a vector terminal emulator connected to a raster display

Apr 26 21:12

bnchs

(xterm's tek4014 mode)

Apr 26 21:12

activelow

anyway, is this a coincidence, the unifont.psf.gz file produced from the Makefile, this produces an invalid font file linux kernel cannot render?

i'll try compiling

Apr 26 21:19

activelow

font/compiled should contain a psf.gz file then, when copied into /usr/share/consolefont/<fontname>.psf.gz then setfont <fontname> will try to load this font into kernel for rendering onto framebuffer

a cortex a53@1.3GHz doesn't suffice for FullHD, yet prboom-plus can render at lower resolution (960x540) and upscale x2... it's faster now than the mali OpenGL "accelerated" variant

activelow

for game development however, i noticed the eureka editor, requires fltk -> which again is c++

Apr 26 22:36

activelow

anyway, sixel graphics support is more important, maybe i can have it with libsdl1/sdl-terminal and suckless st terminal, directly on framebuffer, without x11 at least

Apr 26 22:37

activelow

surpise: from SDL_terminal.c:67:

so, to get a suckless terminal with sixel graphics on top of sdl-terminal, again some proprietary shit is required, OpenGL in this case

Apr 26 22:39

*activelow tries to patch it, because libsdl1 does _not_ need opengl otherwise, for prboom-plus, which is more demanding than some sixel and doesn't need opengl

Reproducible builds are intended to allow you to reduce the amount of trust you have to place in your (or anyone else's) build system

bnchs__

like inserting blobs into it?

schestowitz-TR

getting the maths 'wrong'

XRevan86

bnchs__: If inserting blobs is part of the build process and is done in the exact same way every time, it will be reproducible.

Obviously this doesn't solve the case of the source code not being trustworthy

bnchs__

yes

schestowitz-TR

XRevan86: so the back doors, if any, can stay

schestowitz-TR

right

schestowitz-TR

and gulag is fine with it

XRevan86

schestowitz-TR

it's "good enough" for untrustworthy company

schestowitz-TR

build systems

schestowitz-TR

but not the actual behaviour of the code

SomeH4x0r

bnchs__: I'm back for now

XRevan86

Obviously they have interest, which is surprising considering how incredibly over-complicated Google's build systems are.

schestowitz-TR

or rather the distribution of it

schestowitz-TR

you could also tar the whole thing at host level

schestowitz-TR

tar with same version on guest

schestowitz-TR

and then do checksum

XRevan86

Would feel to be nearly impossible to make that shite reproducible. But what do I know?

schestowitz-TR

that does not mean the code is safe

schestowitz-TR

it just means you have the same thing you downloaded (same as the source)

XRevan86

schestowitz: It deals with what it was meant to deal with.

schestowitz-TR

right

schestowitz-TR

and gulag is OK with it

XRevan86

Nothing more, nothing less.

schestowitz-TR

because it's still not dealing with things like chrome that have more than one 0-day per month this year

"The internal storage of the PlayStation 5 is a custom-built 825 GB solid-state drive (667 GB available)"

although suckless terminal is neat (for those who can cope with it), the truly suckless approach would be linux framebuffer console, not X11 with a terminal emulator

schestowitz-TR

it can also do images and videos

schestowitz-TR

in a proper video player

schestowitz-TR

we've come to the point where systems that only need a TEXT EDITOR and nothing else have a kernel 5 million lines of code or more

schestowitz-TR

and that wastes energy, too

schestowitz-TR

try teaching computer science pupils how to program using Web browsers

schestowitz-TR

and not some framework/abstraction

schestowitz-TR

you cannot

current GNU/Linux systems do not at least provide man pages anymore, without a c++ compiler required (sys-apps/groff iirc)

schestowitz-TR

mediagoblin is also very big

much of it branches out to other, simpler, modular command-line programs

more malicious than bugs

activelow

anyway, to upscale GNU unifont to a bigger font size for linux consolefont, another intermediate format is required, their GNU hex format

psydruid

without any responsible disclosure, of course

activelow

schestowitz-TR

that's a bigger problem than corruption of binaries in transit
