[01:02] DaemonFC schestowitz, The turkey had a head! [01:03] DaemonFC They packed it inside and Mandy pulled it out while he was carving the rest after dinner. [01:03] DaemonFC I need to see my therapist now. :/ [01:10] DaemonFC Oh, schestowitz, Pfizer is now saying they can make a new COVID shot in 100 days. [01:10] DaemonFC Right after millions just took a third dose of this one. [01:11] DaemonFC You obviously can't just take a shot every 100 days. [01:11] DaemonFC It's over. We got our ass kicked. [01:11] DaemonFC Bourla can just work from wherever while these CEOs like Tim Cook just tell everyone get the "vaccine" and get back in there and let the customers cough all over you, unmasked. [01:17] DaemonFC We have a lot of turkey left over. [01:17] DaemonFC I wonder if they're going to do a repeat for Christmas. [01:18] DaemonFC schestowitz, Well, I didn't know if I could get it in my freezer but I knew if I couldn't then I could give it to the church next door. They pass out turkeys and stuff to the poor around this time of year. It beats letting Walmart keep it and chuck it and pour bleach on it or something awful like that either way.

[01:43] DaemonFC They dump it on food they throw out here to keep poor people from running off with it. [01:46] activelow chicago [01:46] activelow dumpster divers are known in germany too, don't know if it is a mass phenomena already [01:47] activelow yesterday, i did some calculus again, for my regular meals [01:47] activelow with rice i can lower the costs for nutrition [01:47] activelow 1kg of dried rice is 99cents, 3500kalories [01:47] activelow i calculate with 2000kcal/day, roughly [01:48] activelow this is the receipe now [01:49] activelow 500grams of rice (1700kcal), two glasses of paprika paste ayvar (500kcal total), and 150grams margarine (1000kcal) [01:50] activelow this is ~3300kcal for two days, plus some fried fish, some tiny sweat snack or similar: 2000kcal total daily [01:50] activelow costs are this: 50cents rice, 30cents margarine, 2euros for paprika, 2euros for fish or snacks [01:52] activelow this is roughly 2.50Euros/day for nutrition, plus some tee or coffee (roughly 2euros/week) [01:52] activelow anyway, i can keep costs for nutrition below 100Euros/month, and this isn't the bottom end [01:53] activelow if i had a tiny garden, as it was common in east germany, at least i could enrich the meals with spices (lovage, parsley), some strawberries and whatever else easily grows [01:54] activelow that's why i do not eat potatoe soup more often, which i liked as a child, because the spices made this a tasty meal [01:54] DaemonFC The Euro is pretty weak now. [01:55] activelow forgot it, since i do not smoke tobacco (which was another ~10euros/week), i do chew gums, orbit extra which is another 3euros/week [01:56] activelow cannot ditch the nicotine replacement pills yet, when ordered form amazon it is another 30euros/month [01:57] activelow chances are, if i am moleted by the corrupt bureaucracy again, i will smoke again for some weeks, when writing the appropriate letters necessary to document this [01:57] activelow molsted [01:58] *techrights-ipfs-bot has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) ● Nov 27 [02:02] activelow btw. i did turn of heating in the entire flat, however this caused an unexpected problem: condensed water at the walls and windows [02:03] activelow the moisture can cause fungus, so i had to turn up heating slightly [02:04] activelow in the bathroom and kitchen i can chlorinate the walls to kill all fungus, however i can't in my living room nor am i willing to [02:04] activelow anyway, bathroom and kitchen remain icy cold during winter, as they had been in the last decades as usual [02:05] activelow chlorination of kitchen and bathroom is necessary nonetheless, because the substance of the installations and furniture was rotten already when i moved in here [02:05] activelow at least chlorination prevents more severe health hazards here [02:06] activelow otherwise, i would like some politicians to take a bite from this to enjoy [02:07] activelow i do keep chlorine consumption low too, by dispersing this, so one bottle of bleach lasts more than 6 month, because chlorinated wate water isn't good for the environment, if it is too much [02:07] activelow waste [02:08] activelow i am spraying this at the furniture, walls, and floor, wait some minutes for chemistry to do it's job, open the window, and then wash and clean this [02:09] activelow btw. some caution is necessary, because of the high minarl content water here, bathroom requires some treatment with vinegar sometimes [02:10] activelow so, this cannot be done in parallel of cause [02:10] *techrights-ipfs-bot (~techrights-ipfs-bot@62vhapicsw4ds.irc) has joined #techrights [02:11] activelow there is another potential health hazard with the bathroom here, which i am wondering how this could have ever passed a german regulation for buildings and construction [02:11] activelow when taking a shower some water residue cannot be avoided to drip, and this leaves water below the washing machine here [02:12] activelow add to this, the silicone sealings seem to have been applied by some child or someone, who knows what they did [02:13] activelow at one spot it is 5 centimeters thick and smeared silicon seal, and the next spot isn't sealed at all, so it is dripping on rotting wherever chlorine doesn't reach [02:13] activelow and i cannot easily move the washing machine whenever i had a shower, because it is heavy and the place is constrained [02:14] activelow normally, to move away this machine, i would need to do some plumbing work because toilet and other installation prevent moving this machine to clean below [02:15] activelow the rent is rather high too, although the landlord said it isn't [02:15] activelow it is more than 500Euros monthly for rent and heating this shithole [02:15] activelow although, as said, i rarely ever heat this flat here [02:15] activelow most of the costs are calculatd per square meter [02:16] activelow even when these are not heated [02:16] activelow it is funny somehow, how the whine about public health hazard now [02:16] activelow they [02:17] activelow leaving this flat is even worsen than remaining inside, because outside the air is heavily poisoned often, by speeding luxury cars, of the many "poor" migrants here [02:17] activelow this limits my sun exposure to a total of less than 8hours per year [02:18] activelow wouldn't want to open any windows during daytime anymore either, because noise and air pollution [02:18] activelow which was another reason to smoke, because of the disgusting smell of toxic fumes [02:18] activelow since i couldn't afford a car, i was cycling in city smog for decades [02:19] activelow the typical routine is this: have a cigarette to sedate sense of smell, and then full speed through the city jam inhaling whatever the modern german automotive industry had to offer [02:19] activelow although, after 20years of this, i've had enough to be honest [02:20] activelow now they say, i was responisble for myself and my health, and insurance fees must be increased, and of cause since i deny their covid vaccine hospitals may deny treatment [02:21] activelow i am still young, 40years now, but can feel one or another mild pain, when this changes some drugs are neither affordable nor legal either in germany [02:22] activelow maybe, if i am running out of cash, i may donor blood (which isn't forbidden because i am not homosexual) [02:22] activelow whoever wants it may have it [02:27] activelow yesterday i had a phone call with employment agency, and argued with them, why i the f*** i was relocationg for trainsheeps and job placement a dozen times [02:28] activelow and now i stranded in this ghetto, with no opportonity, maybe, to do some maths or whatever i wasn't that bad with [02:29] activelow told them, i want back my homeland, and if and how this could be arranged, in reponse they said it's all "taxpayers money" and they couldn't arrange for anything [02:29] techrights-ipfs-bot IPFS downstream, 60 mins: avg(k/sec) 17.01 IPFS upstream: avg(k/sec) 6.98 swarm size (avg): 258.56 [02:29] activelow it isn't like as

[02:58] *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #techrights [02:58] activelow and covid vaccination must be refreshed at least twice a year. government decided this now: nation-wide lock downs are not possible anymore [02:58] activelow however, mandatory 2G+ status is to use public transportation [02:59] activelow which means, nation-wide lock-down was less severe than what it is replaced with now: mandatory 2G+ in public transportation (vaccinated or recovered, requireing approval or vaccination every 6month) ● Nov 27 [03:00] activelow too, the "local hot-spot" strategy is *worse* than nation-wide lock down, because now they can arbitrarily seal-off any region they desire (which doesn't prevent spreading, but anyway) [03:02] activelow at least, i got my bicycle, i can do ~100km per day all-season (4hours slow pace on flat ground), during winter and rainy weather too [03:05] activelow problem is, a bicycle can easily be sabotaged, flat tires, screw the chain or whatever, which can end such an adventure quickly [03:06] activelow and bicycle stores are known to lack spare parts, i got some remaining at least [03:06] activelow although, transport of parts and weight is critical [03:07] activelow worst is probably this, to leave all books behind, which i won't [03:07] activelow if they do escalate, i will burn them [03:08] activelow i mean, they did everything already, to sabotage everything they could without looking too bad with it [03:08] *liberty_box (~liberty@62vhapicsw4ds.irc) has joined #techrights [03:09] *rianne (~rianne@62vhapicsw4ds.irc) has joined #techrights [03:16] *m___ (~Adium@zpct666kw3iz6.irc) has joined #techrights [03:19] *techrights-ipfs-bot has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [03:26] *m___ has quit (Quit: Leaving.)

[19:00] DaemonFC The obvious use case for Edge is you may use it on Windows if that SKU doesn't allow anything else or you're on a library computer that doesn't let you use something else, or you need to open a site that needs an embedded copy of Internet Explorer.

[19:07] DaemonFC I forgot to close that. Fixed. [19:07] DaemonFC I thought it was super sketchy that this installment payments thing landed right ahead of Christmas. [19:07] DaemonFC The merchants are obviously floating these loans using the company that's writing them out as a proxy. [19:08] DaemonFC To make it less obvious what's happening. [19:08] DaemonFC Then that proxy is paying Microsoft a percentage to be included in Edge. [19:09] DaemonFC So with 0% interest and all of these costs (to the company that officially writes the loans and to Microsoft), how do these work? [19:09] DaemonFC It's that retailers are essentially creating a shell corporation that takes on the risky loans to float consumers money for holiday shopping. [19:10] schestowitz DaemonFC: [19:10] DaemonFC Then when the loans go tits up and this shell corporation collapses, it can file bankruptcy and write off the losses.

[19:37] DaemonFC Windows is so large that it would never be possible to audit, but so is this stinking uEFI mess. [19:38] DaemonFC They dump code in faster than it's possible to audit it, and they never audit it, and they pass it so their customers can find out what's in it. [19:38] DaemonFC (Hardware killers, locked bootloaders, etc.) [19:39] DaemonFC So, like, with modern uEFI PCs, if it works at all, take your cheese and leave.

[19:40] schestowitz Bill's type of licensing [19:41] schestowitz "Give me sex, sign this NDA" [19:41] DaemonFC That's what the last two rounds of BIOS patching have been about on these Lenovo laptops. [19:42] DaemonFC And then once that code is in the SMM, it can put in a persistent implant into the uEFI which is a rootkit, and this was not possible under Legacy BIOS. You reboot and it's gone. The only non-volatile memory in there was a very small bit to remember your settings, and it was powered by a watch battery.

[19:58] DaemonFC By making those locked down SKUs less painful, Mozilla is actually feeding into this system that can be turned on them with another Store policy update and Microsoft giving them the boot.

[20:25] DaemonFC It was finalized in 1997. [20:25] DaemonFC Like here's something completely broken (MP3). Couple years later.... "Here's something slightly better, with MOAR patents!" [20:27] DaemonFC A lossy audio codec should be subband or MDCT, MP3 does both, and then suffers from both types of problems, and then applies additional filtering to try to mask the noise created from working in both ways. [20:28] DaemonFC So I think Musepack or Opus are both fine codecs in their own ways. There's very little algorithmic delay in Musepack actually, which was one of the design goals of Opus, but compression efficiency is about where Vorbis is. [20:28] schestowitz-TR I remember playing wav files with music [20:28] schestowitz-TR that was in win95 days [20:28] schestowitz-TR I did use win 3.1 and 95 [20:28] schestowitz-TR with DOS at the same time [20:28] schestowitz-TR many games back then still ran on DOS, not Windows [20:29] schestowitz-TR Windows was just a drag [20:29] DaemonFC Musepack would have been a fine speech codec.

[20:30] DaemonFC Eventually all of the patent trolls have to go away and bother users of something newer.

[21:48] DaemonFC It's pretty debtor-friendly. [21:48] DaemonFC If you can't file bankruptcy, it's not hard to be judgment-proof and stay that way. [21:49] DaemonFC About all they can really do is haul you in for a debtor's exam and figure out for themselves that after all that time and their own money they wasted, that they're not getting anything. [21:49] schestowitz they can change the law [21:49] schestowitz it does not take long [21:49] DaemonFC And it's actually considered contempt of court to repeatedly bring them in for an exam just to harass them if you expect nothing to change.

[21:50] schestowitz well, that was before MEGATRON [21:50] schestowitz lenders can group and lobby together [21:50] schestowitz to undo such "errors" [21:51] DaemonFC It gives you minimum wage * 45 hours per week.

[21:51] schestowitz THose sacrilegious "job creators" ;-) [21:52] DaemonFC Plus, if you're on Social Security, the only garnishment creditor that is allowed is the government itself. The federal one. [21:52] DaemonFC And Social Security money in a bank account is exempt, so if a creditor tries to garnish it and they are successful, they've committed a federal crime. [21:53] DaemonFC Plus there's the anti-SLAPP and SLAPP Back laws. [21:53] DaemonFC So anyone who tried to do anything would just end up kicking their own ass. [21:54] schestowitz kicking?
