[00:24]	DaemonFC	lopstaaaaa
[00:26]	DaemonFC	Almost everyone in the world with a computer had Napster at some point.
[00:26]		*Channel #techrights modes: +Cmnt
[00:26]		*Channel #techrights created on Sat May 29 23:56:07 2021
[00:26]	DaemonFC	Many found ways to keep using the protocol long after Napster lost in court, including with the original software if you wanted to (the last beta release).
[00:26]	DaemonFC	The industry didn't "win" anything.
[00:27]	MinceR	they haven't stopped fighting
[00:27]	DaemonFC	The government has extended copyright laws and made court rulings, and now after more than 20 years of inefficacious and incompetent government action, they have Google to do their dirty work for them. 
[00:28]	MinceR	uefi, pluton and wei are proof of that
[00:28]	MinceR	they're trying to take general purpose computers away from us in the hope of making their bullshit business model work
[00:28]	DaemonFC	Well, Google doesn't actually seem to control what you install in the Linux container.
[00:29]	DaemonFC	And if it's a bittorrent client, it seems that using the Android version of the VPN software on a Chromebook is enough to route it through that.
[00:30]	DaemonFC	I don't think they really care what you grab. It's the law firms monitoring the swarms that do that. Google just doesn't fight them when they come asking for things from the search index to be removed.
[00:30]	DaemonFC	So Google has been getting really really bad, their search results are bad, because sooner or later someone shows up and says "I own that".
[00:31]	schestowitz	the results are good
[00:31]	DaemonFC	SearXNG gets around this by searching a lot of things directly and shotgunning multiple engines that the copyright trolls haven't bothered with or at least not in a unified way.
[00:31]	schestowitz	but not for you
[00:31]	schestowitz	for google and its clients
[00:31]	DaemonFC	No matter what Google deletes or how fast or how little resistance they put up, Hollywood keeps attacking them.
[00:32]	DaemonFC	Like they're your bag man trying to help you grab copyrighted works or something.
[00:32]	schestowitz	the "news" stopped talking about shit-gpt "infused" bing
[00:32]	schestowitz	or how Google Search is doomed
[00:32]	schestowitz	due to chatbots

[00:35]	TR Bot	 Wednesday Briefing: U.S. Businesses Say China Is Uninvestable - The New York Times
[00:36]	DaemonFC	Yeah, it's funny how Old Bonehead Joe and Camel Toe Harris stop them from investing in China and then China becomes impossible to invest in.
[00:36]	DaemonFC	This totally isn't causig a trade war and inflation that will ruin both of us.
[00:37]	DaemonFC	Matt GULAG, ISIS Reich Swine, and Brandon Lobsta.
[00:37]	schestowitz	Lobsta Sandwich
[00:38]	DaemonFC	No fire for you. No bao wu.
[00:39]	MinceR	if the west doesn't want to be destroyed by authoritarians, they had better stop trading and communicating with them
[00:39]	MinceR	the sooner the better
[00:39]	MinceR	the chinese empire and the moscovian empire have both already shown that they can fuck with democracies severely
[00:41]	DaemonFC	Yeah, Colbert really pissed them off when he said without China our Happy Meals wouldn't have any toys in them.
[00:42]	DaemonFC	While he was introducing Hu Jintao.
[00:42]	MinceR	they usa can't manage simple injection molding anymore?
[00:43]	DaemonFC	Colbert made the comment in 2006 I believe.
[00:43]	MinceR	s/ey/e/
[00:43]	DaemonFC	And by that point McDonalds Happy Meal toys had been made in China for years.
[00:43]	MinceR	way too much shit is made in the chinese empire and this has given them an edge
[00:43]	MinceR	it should stop
[00:43]	DaemonFC	MinceR: I was unloading a truck of Chinese merchandise at a warehouse in 2004.
[00:43]	DaemonFC	I found some Chinese guy's wallet.
[00:44]	DaemonFC	Then I went back another row and found a pack of Chinese cigarettes.
[00:44]	DaemonFC	And then a lighter that played music.
[00:44]	MinceR	with renminbi banknotes summing up to a fraction of a cent in it?
[00:44]	DaemonFC	LOL
[00:44]	MinceR	or perhaps a suicide note?
[00:44]	DaemonFC	He lost his wallet, a singing lighter, and a pack of really awful cigarettes.
[00:45]	DaemonFC	MinceR: I lit up one of the cigarettes and it was the nastiest cigarette I've ever tasted.
[00:45]	MinceR	stalinism in action
[00:45]	DaemonFC	Communists must never make decent smokes, as a rule.
[00:45]	DaemonFC	I figured why not, you can't get Chinese cigarettes here, so why not try one?
[00:46]	DaemonFC	Well, I did, and I certainly didn't finish it.
[00:46]	MinceR	or decent anything whatsoever
[00:46]	MinceR	why put the effort in it when the state doesn't care, the people can't do anything about it, and there's no competition?
[00:46]	DaemonFC	Fair enough. Like the field rations that might prove more lethal to their own troops than combat.

[00:47]	DaemonFC	You have a fantastic way of explaining x86 processors in America.
[00:48]	DaemonFC	Intel got billions of dollars from US taxpayers.....to lay thousands of Americans off immediately as soon as the check cleared, and then finished off with a cafeteria stabbing.

[01:24]	schestowitz	about 160 yesterday in gemini
[01:25]	DaemonFC	Was looking at how to boost the memory on the Pi 400 Personal Computer.
[01:25]	DaemonFC	zram is apparently an option and would effectively give you another 2 GB or so.
[01:25]	DaemonFC	At the cost of some CPU cycles. The drag seems negligible on my laptop. Wonder how the Pi would do.
[01:26]	schestowitz	depends on the application
[01:26]	schestowitz	some suffer worse from paging
[01:26]	DaemonFC	I run the laptop without swap because with 16 GB and zram swap, it doesn't ever come close to running out.
[01:26]	schestowitz	like freezes while scrolling
[01:26]	DaemonFC	Parts of the OS running in the background not doing a whole lot at the moment seem to get paged out on my laptop.
[01:26]	schestowitz	DaemonFC: what about misbahving software?
[01:26]	schestowitz	swap buys you time
[01:27]	schestowitz	so you can respond and diagnose
[01:27]	DaemonFC	I haven't encountered any to speak of.

[01:32]	psydruid	the US and Europe should do more about providing powerful non-x86 computers, but they keep propping up x86 vendors instead
[01:33]	DaemonFC	schestowitz Microsoft keeps posting things about "Silicon designed for Windows." by Intel and AMD.
[01:33]	psydruid	so the best and most affordable non-x86 client computers come from China
[01:33]	DaemonFC	Then it turns out to be a bug-addled disaster that even affects non-Windows users.
[01:34]	DaemonFC	The US government has a bunch of x86 binaries and it keeps having contractors make more.
[01:34]	DaemonFC	So they're on the hook to bail them out with whatever they need because they won't stop.

[03:04]	DaemonFC	schestowitz Well, I'm glad at least the new landlord fixes things.
[03:04]	DaemonFC	I haven't had any trouble out of the kitchen drain since he brought a real plumber out the same day I called and said it had stopped up.
[03:05]	DaemonFC	I discussed Mark with him and how the pipe kept backing up so he'd send the repair guy out and we'd get about another month or two out of it before it started slowing down again.
[03:05]	DaemonFC	The plumber has been trying to open the pipe in the apartment Mark never rented across from us.
[03:06]	DaemonFC	The plumbing is so bad in there that they've been making noise for weeks just trying to get it open.
[03:06]	DaemonFC	They started renovations on that unit about two months ago and they're still not done. At this rate, at least another month or two.
[03:07]	DaemonFC	Mark probably smoked the tires to get over to the bank with that check.
[03:07]	DaemonFC	He listed this place as a "turnkey investment".

[03:27]	DaemonFC	schestowitz One of the early LAME developers ended up at Sony. Still getting software patents for them.
[03:27]	DaemonFC	:P
[03:28]	DaemonFC	Unclear what the invention actually is in many cases.
[03:28]	DaemonFC	The usual
[03:31]	DaemonFC	The patent that GNOME was threatened with was eventually invalidated after a lot of work. And Florian Mueller says this is how things should be, when invalidating one bad patent leaves a billion others.
[03:31]	DaemonFC	It doesn't really lessen the threat much. There's not enough lawyer hours you can pay for when it's not one patent, but rather dozens, hundreds, or thousands they claim you violated in one piece of software.
[03:32]	DaemonFC	So you go back to the 1970s and look at my dad's patents, and they actually described what he invented, with a diagram, and an explanation of how it worked.
[03:34]	DaemonFC	The best way to design a media codec or something, as far as MPEG-LA members are concerned, is do as many patentable things as possible, even if it's just dumb and counterproductive, and then ideally you make it so there's no way around the patent by implementing something in a different way or leaving that function out.

[04:01]	DaemonFC	https://popey.com/blog/2023/08/six-months-of-crashes-in-ubuntu/
[04:01]	TR Bot	 Six months of crashes in Ubuntu - Alan Pope's blog
[04:02]	DaemonFC	Zoom, Discord, and Microsoft Edge are the top crashers on Alan Pope's laptop.
[04:02]	DaemonFC	I wonder how "sending feedback to Ubuntu" helps solve crashes in Edge since they can't do anything about it because it's a blob.
[04:03]	MinceR	they could tell him to stop using Idiot Edgesploiter already
[04:03]	DaemonFC	xserver-xorg-core.....So Alan Pope is at least smart enough to disable Wayland.
[04:04]	DaemonFC	But uses GNOME. Hmmm.
[04:04]	DaemonFC	So Tracker, Pipewire, and Wireplumber are all top crashers too. :)
[04:04]	DaemonFC	They're all garbage.
[04:05]	DaemonFC	GNOME'S HELL crashes a lot too.
[04:05]	DaemonFC	GJS is part of that, so we should add them together.
[04:05]	DaemonFC	"Im somewhat surprised the Zoom number isnt higher, as it feels like the application crashes daily for me."
[04:06]	DaemonFC	"Zoom crashes for me when I switch workspace while a call is happening, and someone is sharing their screen. Zoom minimizes down to a little window on my new workspace. When I try and pop that back out to a big window, Zoom dies. Its somewhat random, but has happened enough that I do my best not to switch workspaces during calls."
[04:06]	MinceR	proprietary software sucks, episode 8297369823
[04:07]	DaemonFC	"I dont know whats going on here as I dont consider myself a power Discord user but have it open all day. I do sometimes notice its not running anymore."
[04:07]	DaemonFC	Maybe he can run it in an Edge tab so they can die together and fall under "Edge".

[04:08]	DaemonFC	"Im not really surprised at Zoom and Edge being at the top of the list. Theyre two complex and chonky applications that I use daily. I presume (but havent researched) that both of these applications can report upstream when crashes occur."
[04:08]	DaemonFC	Yeah, part of the "chonky" stuff is the spyware that tells Microsoft what you look at, download, type, and everything in memory when it crashed.
[04:08]	MinceR	"i presume i'm running spyware daily."
[04:08]	DaemonFC	Including your porn sites and online banking.
[04:09]	MinceR	whatever floats his bloat, i guess
[04:09]	DaemonFC	"An honorable mention must go to the crash on 18th January when apport-gtk crashed. The crash reporting tool crashed. Wonderful."
[04:09]	MinceR	and so surprising
[04:10]	DaemonFC	Yeah, I've seen crash reporting tools and debuggers crash. Especially GNOME's, ABRT (Fedora, crashes a lot), and gdb.
[04:10]	DaemonFC	Fedora is so bad that you usually lose the crash reporting tool at some point too.
[04:10]	MinceR	strange, i haven't seen gdb crash
[04:10]	DaemonFC	Yeah, it got a little meta when I was fuzz testing WebkitGTK.
[04:11]	MinceR	ic
[04:11]	DaemonFC	gdb popped up to analyze the backtrace, crashed, another error reporter popped up offering to backtrace gdb, and crashed.
[04:11]	DaemonFC	Then I declined to backtrace that one.
[04:11]	MinceR	lol
[04:12]	MinceR	maybe there were too many crash reporting tools active
[04:12]	DaemonFC	MinceR: I did manage to flush out and report 43 bugs in Webkit over a month.
[04:12]	DaemonFC	So it wasn't all a loss.
[04:12]	MinceR	:>
[04:12]	DaemonFC	That was in 2020.
[04:13]	DaemonFC	Apple usually doesn't fix them, but others seem to.
[04:13]	DaemonFC	Igalia and Sony fixed more than Apple.
[04:14]	DaemonFC	The bad code is mostly in Webkit proper, not the GTK port stuff.
[04:14]	DaemonFC	They did a better job porting it (Igalia) than Apple did writing the thing to be ported.
[04:14]	MinceR	what even is this "Saved Links" feature in crashium/crashe?
[04:15]	DaemonFC	Webkit is not terribly secure, but the WebkitGTK people do at least push month security updates quickly.
[04:15]	DaemonFC	Idk. Maybe it's like Brave's "Reading List"
[04:15]	DaemonFC	I don't know what that is. It seems to duplicate "bookmarks" maybe?
[04:15]	MinceR	and what's the "Reading List"?
[04:17]	DaemonFC	You can add pages to it, mark them read, and delete them.
[04:17]	MinceR	is it stored in some online service or in the local browser settings?

[20:03]	DaemonFC	What's this package called?
[20:03]	DaemonFC	Things like that.
[20:04]	DaemonFC	Most of my SPACE HOG files go on the back up drive anyway because you can't have 200 GB of files for one thing on an SSD anyway.
[20:04]	MinceR	PIGS IN SPACE
[20:04]	DaemonFC	Yep
[20:04]	DaemonFC	I was thinking about that when I was making coffee a minute ago.
[20:04]	DaemonFC	It sounds like openSUSE people aren't confident in this ALP thing.
[20:04]	DaemonFC	They've already announced another unplanned LEAP as a possibility.
[20:05]	DaemonFC	And very little Wiki activity about ALP.
[20:05]	DaemonFC	And the more I read about ALP, the more unsure I am about SUSE.
[20:05]	DaemonFC	They talk of containers and immutable file systems.
[20:05]	DaemonFC	Which is not my use case.
[20:06]	DaemonFC	Debian and Arch seem totally committed to their native package format.
[20:06]	DaemonFC	One thing that makes me go hmm about Debian KDE is it uses Wayland by default, although for some reason it seems maybe to work a bit better than on Leap.
[20:07]	MinceR	wasn't that Access Linux Platform?
[20:07]	DaemonFC	Possibly just newer builds or something.
[20:07]	MinceR	from another MICROS~1 ally?
[20:07]	DaemonFC	Advanced Linux Platform or something.
[20:07]	DaemonFC	No, SUSE is doing ALP and it's rubbing me the wrong way now that I read about it. It sounds like Fedora Silverblue.
[20:07]	MinceR	well, it's suse
[20:08]	MinceR	of course it's both crap and evil
[20:12]	DaemonFC	I'm strongly debating just moving to Debian. Maybe I should have to begin with. I checked it out on my other laptop this morning and it even has actual media codecs now!
[20:12]	MinceR	not a significant difference
[20:12]	DaemonFC	Like, I double clicked on some h265 files and they played!
[20:12]	MinceR	it's still cancerd
[20:12]	DaemonFC	Yeah, I'm also wondering about going back to Ext4.
[20:12]	DaemonFC	I used to just set everything up under / and that worked out fine.
[20:13]	DaemonFC	I could still use zram with zstd. I looked into that on the other laptop. Different process to set up.
[20:13]	DaemonFC	They have some systemd thing managing it, of course.
[20:13]	DaemonFC	Debian changed their Wiki on BtrFS.
[20:14]	DaemonFC	Last I looked it said "BtrFS Compress has another major data loss bug every year."
[20:15]	DaemonFC	Ext4 is a 64-bit file system when created with modern systems.
[20:15]	DaemonFC	So you won't run into weird problems like you do on Reiser or something.
[20:15]	DaemonFC	The closer we get to 2038, the more the problems with Reiser are manifesting themselves.
[20:15]	DaemonFC	SUSE went with ReiserFS back in the day too.
[20:17]	DaemonFC	Distributions that won't commit to their native package format are just not terribly helpful.
[20:17]	DaemonFC	Fedora did BtrFS compress so people with laptops wouldn't scream about Flatpaks everywhere later.

[20:19]	DaemonFC	MinceR: You don't have to set up subvoluming. I put Debian on my old laptop without subvolumes and BtrFS.

[20:20]	DaemonFC	Subvolumes mostly make sense to snapshot things, but snapshots build up and cost you a lot of disk space.
[20:20]	DaemonFC	No problem on an 8 TB hard disk. Problem on a 512 GB SSD.
[20:21]	DaemonFC	Since Debian's installer makes there be no easy way to set up subvolumes at install time, laptop users may want to just skip this anyway.
[20:21]		*MinceR gives voice to jacobk
[20:21]	DaemonFC	Everything is a trade-off though. BtrFS raw file system performance is much worse than Ext4.
[20:22]	DaemonFC	If you use compression this might be better because the system has less data to read off the storage and write to it.
[20:22]	DaemonFC	The compression before it hits the disk is handled by the kernel.
[20:23]	DaemonFC	So if you're a laptop user with an SSD, Debian's installer is a WTF with BtrFS in that it won't make everything a nice neat subvolume for you. But do you really need those?
[20:23]	MinceR	do you really need deadian?
[20:23]	MinceR	do you really need cancerd?
[20:23]	DaemonFC	You can certainly hack away in a console and make them and trick the setup program into using them, if you do it in the right order.
[20:24]	DaemonFC	But Debian moves slowly and makes conservative choices and tests their upgrade process.
[20:24]	DaemonFC	So the odds of NEEDING a snapshot to roll back to are small.
[20:24]	DaemonFC	MinceR: Most BtrFS features don't and shouldn't interest a laptop user.
[20:24]	DaemonFC	The one feature that might, in my opinion, is built-in compression.
[20:35]	DaemonFC	schestowitz MinceR "So I went back and selected Manual partitioning, and told it to wipe the data out of the vfat "ESP" (EFI System Partitions use Microsoft FAT32.....meth is a terrible drug) "
[20:36]	MinceR	well, if your boot firmware isn't shit, you don't need ESP
[20:36]	MinceR	but nowadays every "PC" has shit boot firmware

[21:00]	DaemonFC	Using BtrFS without subvolumes just greatly uncomplicates matters if you're just a laptop user that browses the Web, plays games and movies, and occasionally ZIPs things and drags them to another drive.

[21:00]		*psymin has quit (Quit: Leaving)
[21:00]	DaemonFC	Unless you need to use snapshots or mount the subvolumes differently and establish quotas independently.
[21:01]	DaemonFC	If you've been using Ext4 or something, you're probably not doing that anyway.
[21:06]	DaemonFC	I've always just used compress=zstd:1 and then gone back and done a defrag with -r -czstd 
[21:07]	DaemonFC	I actually looked into this issue and found that the additional compression ratios don't actually compress things that much further even though it goes out to like 15 or something, but what they will do is severely penalize your file system performance. And don't use force compress. Let the driver figure out if a file should just go into the disk compressed or not.
[21:07]	DaemonFC	It takes forever to compress a "pak" file or something for a game, but you won't actually see any savings because they'd used DEFLATE or LZ4 or something in the file anyway.
[21:08]	DaemonFC	I tried this out on Windows too. NTFS file compression is primitive and inefficient.
[21:08]	DaemonFC	It makes no attempt to figure out if something actually compresses so you wait forever and maybe some game binaries deflate a bit, but the rest doesn't.
[21:09]	DaemonFC	MinceR: "is not in the sudoers file. This incident has been reported to the adminstrator."
[21:09]	DaemonFC	Nothing like having to become root to adduser to sudo.
[21:09]	DaemonFC	:/
[21:10]	DaemonFC	"is not in the sudoers file. This user will be placed into Matt GULAG and ISIS's swing for punishment."
[21:10]	DaemonFC	Now that'll teach them not to use sudo without being in the wheel.

[23:08]	MinceR	maybe they were ahead of the curve
[23:08]	DaemonFC	It's possible I would have used Debian in 1999 if the disc hadn't been so bad.
[23:08]	MinceR	though MICROS~1 wasn't doing any testing before then
[23:09]	MinceR	and afaict the only "testing" crApple did was to find out that the average member of their target audience is too retarded to tell their fingers apart without looking
