schestowitz__ | Good to know about a new Friendica pod. Although I already have an account there, I know just a little about their work. One thing that makes me happy is the interoperability between Friendica and Diaspora networks. For me it sounds like a beginning of a real democratic space for the users, where they can choose any pod from any network to store their own accounts based on their preferences. | Apr 06 18:27 |
schestowitz__ | The federation here is working fine, and since the start of this new pod in Brazil, I have had no federation issues. It seems like the Diaspora* code is becoming stronger and more reliable on each release. | Apr 06 18:27 |

schestowitz__ | Yes but I would still stipulate that the state is the actual force ie people making the real threats against real education. For example say a school starts using Ubuntu for their primary OS. This may upset good ol' Bill and he may bribe (donate) a politician into drafting a law reversing this. It is the state that tells the teacher do this or be punished. Behind every decree of the state there is a gun. | Apr 06 19:43 |

DaemonFC | I decided to buy one of these. It's $100 up front, but then I can return my modem to Comcast and quit paying to rent it. | Apr 07 02:55 |
DaemonFC | Then my internet bill should be down to $20 a month. :) | Apr 07 02:55 |
DaemonFC | I've heard that Comcast won't give you a great deal on your internet package if you own your own equipment. | Apr 07 03:32 |
DaemonFC | So, I got the 12 months at $19.99 locked in, and then bought my own equipment. | Apr 07 03:32 |
DaemonFC | My AAA Sprint discount kicked in this month. It brought my bill down from $99 to $96. :) | Apr 07 03:54 |
DaemonFC | I've noticed lately, that Amazon says your order is over $35 and gets free super saver shipping, and then tried to default to "standard shipping" instead. | Apr 07 04:47 |
DaemonFC | In the case of my modem, the estimated delivery date with "standard shipping" was April 10. With super saver, the estimated delivery date is the 11th (my birthday!). | Apr 07 04:47 |
DaemonFC | So, 1 day sooner was going to cost an additional $9.65? Pass. | Apr 07 04:47 |
DaemonFC | They've tripped me up on that a couple of times before, where I was sure that I selected super saver, but my invoice billed me for standard. | Apr 07 04:47 |
DaemonFC | I had to go in, cancel the order, and redo it with super saver. | Apr 07 04:47 |
DaemonFC | Not cool, Amazon. Not cool! | Apr 07 04:47 |

DaemonFC | msb_: I'm finding that going organic on some things isn't that much more expensive. | Apr 07 06:26 |
DaemonFC | Bananas and coffee that are organic cost about the same as their non-organic counterparts. | Apr 07 06:26 |

DaemonFC | I'm a bit nervous about going with a Netgear cable gateway. | Apr 07 06:36 |
DaemonFC | I had one of their ADSL gateways and it was a bit flaky. | Apr 07 06:37 |
DaemonFC | But, they're soooooooo much cheaper than Motorola... | Apr 07 06:37 |
DaemonFC | We're talking $99 vs $139. | Apr 07 06:37 |
*Riddic (~tux@pool-96-242-5-144.nwrknj.fios.verizon.net) has joined #techrights | Apr 07 06:38 | |
DaemonFC | Comcast says that this is an approved device that supports DOCSIS 3 and ipv6 on their network, and it has had level 1 certification. | Apr 07 06:38 |
msb_ | I was having cable outages with comcrap until I insisted they give me a DOCSIS 3 modem. | Apr 07 06:39 |
DaemonFC | What really pissed me off is that they pushed an unwanted firmware update to my rented gateway that lets other Comcast customers log in without my permission and use my cable internet connection. | Apr 07 06:39 |
DaemonFC | Yeah, I was the one that recommended that. | Apr 07 06:39 |
DaemonFC | :) | Apr 07 06:39 |
msb_ | Thanks! | Apr 07 06:39 |
DaemonFC | DOCSIS 3 is much better. Even if your service level is the cheapest they have and is supported by DOCSIS 2.... | Apr 07 06:39 |
msb_ | How can others log in if they | Apr 07 06:39 |
msb_ | 're not connected to it. | Apr 07 06:40 |
msb_ | ? | Apr 07 06:40 |
DaemonFC | It creates a second wifi network called "COMCAST-GUEST". | Apr 07 06:40 |
DaemonFC | and it lets anyone log in with their comcast email address and password and be a parasite on your connection. | Apr 07 06:41 |
DaemonFC | You're still only provisioned whatever speed level you subscribe to, but it lets them leech off of it. | Apr 07 06:41 |
msb_ | Oh. Mine doesn't have wifi and I don't use it anyhow. | Apr 07 06:41 |
DaemonFC | So everything you're doing could slow to a halt. | Apr 07 06:41 |
DaemonFC | Yeah, if it's just a modem, they can't do that. | Apr 07 06:41 |
DaemonFC | They also can't do that if you own your equipment. | Apr 07 06:41 |
msb_ | I just connect with ethernet. | Apr 07 06:42 |
DaemonFC | I can't do that. | Apr 07 06:42 |
DaemonFC | Well, I do with my desktop PC. | Apr 07 06:42 |
msb_ | Some people think the wifi RF is intense enough to be dangerous -- cancer, etc. | Apr 07 06:42 |
DaemonFC | It isn't possible to do that with my phone and it wouldn't be practical to do that with a laptop. | Apr 07 06:42 |
DaemonFC | I don't believe that it is. | Apr 07 06:43 |
DaemonFC | One thing that I did notice about wifi routers is that the default settings tend to degrade performance. | Apr 07 06:43 |
DaemonFC | If you don't have any wireless b or g devices, you should set it to "n" only. | Apr 07 06:43 |
DaemonFC | That also gives you a small bit of extra security. Since nothing you use is wireless b or g, that would mean that anyone attempting to connect using those is not you. | Apr 07 06:44 |
DaemonFC | :) | Apr 07 06:44 |
msb_ | Did you ever call them up and tell them it wouldn't let you download a Linux distro on bittorrent? | Apr 07 06:44 |
DaemonFC | Oh, it does. | Apr 07 06:44 |
DaemonFC | They don't seem to degrade bittorrent traffic anymore. | Apr 07 06:45 |
msb_ | Oh, good! | Apr 07 06:45 |
DaemonFC | They plan to start enforcing their caps at some point though. | Apr 07 06:45 |
DaemonFC | At that point, there won't be much of a point in subscribing to their 25 or 50 Mbps tiers. | Apr 07 06:45 |
msb_ | The magic word is YIFY! | Apr 07 06:45 |
DaemonFC | It jsut means you'll reach your cap faster and start getting hammered with overage fees. | Apr 07 06:45 |
DaemonFC | Their Comcast 100 tier will double your cap to 600 GB before you start paying more. | Apr 07 06:46 |
DaemonFC | Everything lower than that gets 300 or maybe 350, they haven't decided yet. | Apr 07 06:46 |
DaemonFC | They seem to be experimenting in different markets. | Apr 07 06:46 |
DaemonFC | msb_: Is you use less than 5 GB, they'll knock $5 a month off your internet bill. :P | Apr 07 06:47 |
msb_ | You can get movies and TV in x264 at half the size of xvids. | Apr 07 06:47 |
DaemonFC | If you own your modem and keep getting those $19.99 a month promos, that means you could get cable internet for $14.99 a month. | Apr 07 06:47 |
DaemonFC | I'd never trade 300 GB for 5 GB to save $5. | Apr 07 06:48 |
DaemonFC | That would just be stupid. | Apr 07 06:48 |
DaemonFC | yeah, VP9 and x265 (is that what they call it?) say they'll halve it again. | Apr 07 06:48 |
DaemonFC | Full HD movie rips could be as small as 400-500 MB. | Apr 07 06:48 |
msb_ | 720p is plenty for me. | Apr 07 06:49 |
msb_ | I just watch on my computer screen. | Apr 07 06:49 |
DaemonFC | I got rid of flash and I use and ad blocking plugin to keep from downloading that crap. | Apr 07 06:49 |
msb_ | Those are about 700MB. | Apr 07 06:50 |
DaemonFC | If you do a lot of web browsing, then over the course of the month, ads and tacking scripts and all that crap could be as much as 2-3 GB. | Apr 07 06:50 |
msb_ | Not enough to worry about. And there's a lot of good stuff on Youtube, which can now be downloaded great with youtube-dl. | Apr 07 06:51 |
DaemonFC | Lots of sites are starting to use paywalls. That doesn't affect me too often thanks to Google's cache and setting Firefox to not allow cookies on those sites and to dump all cookies at the end of a session. | Apr 07 06:51 |
DaemonFC | 90% of those paywalls are just a cookie that records how many articles you've looked at and tells you to pay up eventually. | Apr 07 06:51 |
msb_ | Very few alternative news sites insist on being paid. | Apr 07 06:53 |
msb_ | Anyhow, if you select x264 files, 480p or 720p, 10GB/day is more than enough. | Apr 07 06:55 |
*freedomrun (~freedomru@unaffiliated/freedomrun) has joined #techrights | Apr 07 06:55 | |
msb_ | For me, at least. There are only about 10 TV shows that I watch. | Apr 07 06:56 |
msb_ | Suits, Good Wife, Elementary, Grey's Anatomy... | Apr 07 06:58 |
msb_ | Although the last ep of GA had them all getting a severe flu and none of them even mentioned Vitamin C. Apparently it's censored, like 9/11 truth. | Apr 07 06:59 |
msb_ | I record the Cartoon Network Adult Swim anime's from actual cable TV with a TV card. My old 'puter can convert NTSC to xvid in realtime -- barely. | Apr 07 07:02 |
msb_ | I like the cat character in Space Dandy. | Apr 07 07:06 |
DaemonFC | Between the deal I worked out with Comcast and getting rid of their modem, my bill will go down from $62.51 a month to $21.39 a month. | Apr 07 07:17 |
DaemonFC | That's with taxes. | Apr 07 07:17 |
DaemonFC | I think I can be patient and deal with 3 Mbps... | Apr 07 07:17 |
DaemonFC | I've made do with less. | Apr 07 07:17 |
DaemonFC | Up until 2006, I was still using 768k DSL. | Apr 07 07:17 |
DaemonFC | msb_: I don't know if this gateway is on sale or what. | Apr 07 07:18 |

DaemonFC | I'd be REAL careful about buying anything on ebay that says "XFINITY" (Comcast) on it. | Apr 07 07:24 |
DaemonFC | When you don't return their equipment, they bill you an outrageous amount for it, and then you technically own it. | Apr 07 07:25 |
DaemonFC | It won't work on anyone else's cable network though. | Apr 07 07:25 |
DaemonFC | They only used to charge $150, but it's like $500 now. | Apr 07 07:26 |
msb_ | DaemonFC: You are an amazing bargain hunter! | Apr 07 07:26 |
DaemonFC | They noticed that people were calling them up and canceling, paying the fee for not returning the modem, and then subscribing to Comcast again immediately. | Apr 07 07:26 |
DaemonFC | :) | Apr 07 07:26 |
DaemonFC | Then they owned the modem and never had to make another rental payment on it. | Apr 07 07:27 |
DaemonFC | msb_: I was going to buy that Chromebook at Best Buy, and then it turned out that only Windows XP laptops could be traded in. | Apr 07 07:27 |
DaemonFC | I have several old desktops in the closet that run XP, so I planned to pick the crappiest one and turn it in for the store credit. | Apr 07 07:28 |
DaemonFC | :( | Apr 07 07:28 |
msb_ | Can you run real Linux on a chromebook? | Apr 07 07:28 |
DaemonFC | You sure can. :) | Apr 07 07:28 |
DaemonFC | There are instructions on linux.com for installing Ubuntu to the SSD of an Acer C720 and wiping out Chrome OS. | Apr 07 07:29 |
DaemonFC | But you probably don't want to do that. | Apr 07 07:29 |
DaemonFC | What you *could* do is use external storage. | Apr 07 07:29 |
DaemonFC | Get a 64 or 128 GB USB 3.0 flash drive and make a Fedora image on it with persistent storage. | Apr 07 07:30 |
DaemonFC | Then plug it into the Chromebook's USB 3.0 port. | Apr 07 07:30 |
DaemonFC | Then you could switch between Fedora and Chrome OS by rebooting. | Apr 07 07:30 |
DaemonFC | msb_: You don't want to get the Samsung Chromebook with the arm processor in it if you want to run a regular GNU/Linux distribution. | Apr 07 07:31 |
DaemonFC | There's an unofficial Fedora image for the Samsung Chromebook, but it hasn't been updated since Fedora 18 iirc. | Apr 07 07:31 |
DaemonFC | 2 seconds ago | Apr 07 07:36 |
DaemonFC | No. Technically, Windows XP won't become "less secure" than it was before when it goes out of support. All of the security problems that will be discovered after April 8th were there before April 8th. Many of them will have been there since 2001, or even before that (since many Windows vulnerabilities go back well into the 1990s). | Apr 07 07:36 |
DaemonFC | Tavis Ormandy found a problem with the NTVDM (NT Virtual DOS Machine) that dated back to the original Windows NT from 1993, which was still present in Windows 7. He privately informed Microsoft of it. Months passed, and they still hadn't fixed it, so he publicly reported it along with demonstration exploit code. Only then did Microsoft fix it. Then they said that HE was the one being irresponsible. | Apr 07 07:36 |
DaemonFC | I find it hysterical that people suddenly think that Windows XP is too dangerous to use. It was always too dangerous to use. 13 years and 5,000+ security patches later, and it's STILL dangerous. | Apr 07 07:36 |
DaemonFC | What does that say about how bad the original XP was? | Apr 07 07:36 |
msb_ | It probably has fluoride in it to rot your brain. | Apr 07 07:39 |
msb_ | Virtual software fluoride. | Apr 07 07:39 |
msb_ | DaemonFC: Actually it does. Fluoridated water destroys the pineal gland, which otherwise produces dimethyltryptamine, a psychedelic. Thanks to the US govt, everyone in this country has their pineal gland destroyed, so they live in a reality that's much less fun. | Apr 07 07:46 |
msb_ | DaemonFC: Likewise, every version of MS Windows lacks the software freedom and the 20 desktops you can get with Linux, so the MS computer experience is also very limited, and people don't know any better. | Apr 07 07:47 |
msb_ | DaemonFC: MS and fluoride are both techniques of mind-control, which enable the richest 1% to grab 99% of the wealth, without the other 99% of the population trying to do anything about it. | Apr 07 07:50 |
msb_ | Good movie -- Contagion 2011 - brain examination: The sulci are obliterated. Let's look at the base. Oh my god. You want me to take a sample? I want you to move away from the table. Should I call someone? Call everyone. | Apr 07 08:15 |

cubezzz | oh well, if the XP users all dump their PCs and buy new ones (which is obviously what Microsoft want) that's all the more cheap hardware for us | Apr 07 14:15 |
abeNd-org | yea, i have outfitted the rural libraries around here with discarded optiplex755, might be out of warranty, but they were free donations, core2duo, take up to 8gb ram & dirt cheap licensing through techsoup.org (there is still no really usable patron management system for linux workstations) | Apr 07 14:19 |
cubezzz | I'm still running Optiplex GX110 :) | Apr 07 14:20 |
Sosumi | the new one is the wrt1900ac | Apr 07 14:20 |
abeNd-org | gx110? woof, the beige rounded case? | Apr 07 14:20 |
cubezzz | it's a slimline :) | Apr 07 14:20 |
abeNd-org | im at the point though where i am a hardware snob even for donations, if it isnt core2duo & capable of 8gb ram, i dont want to have to bother with it. | Apr 07 14:21 |
cubezzz | if someone donated you a microvax you'd turn it down? :) | Apr 07 14:22 |
abeNd-org | lets just say most of the stuff individuals try to donate are broken bubble jet printers & stuff that would make the gx110 look new, a microvax isnt going to come down the line | Apr 07 14:23 |
cubezzz | ah well | Apr 07 14:24 |
abeNd-org | now customers of mine getting rid of old hardware however are more than happy to donate to the rural libraries around ere | Apr 07 14:24 |
abeNd-org | ^here | Apr 07 14:24 |
cubezzz | I wouldn't turn down a working 486 | Apr 07 14:25 |
cubezzz | I should really fix that old IBM | Apr 07 14:25 |
cubezzz | it's not high on the priority list though :) | Apr 07 14:25 |
abeNd-org | yea, but im also concerned about standardized parts across the "fleet" that i support probono | Apr 07 14:26 |
abeNd-org | if everything is a 755, which is pretty much is right now, then that makes my life easier | Apr 07 14:26 |
abeNd-org | only thing i wish i could get is someone to donate a boatload of 64gb SSD :P extend the life of those 755 even further | Apr 07 14:26 |
cubezzz | I like the slot 1 era, I got a bunch of those | Apr 07 14:26 |
MinceR | cubezzz: i can | Apr 07 14:29 |
abeNd-org | if i get old stuff ill ship it to you, if you pay for shipping :P | Apr 07 14:29 |
cubezzz | abeNd-org, where are you? | Apr 07 14:29 |
abeNd-org | DFW | Apr 07 14:29 |
cubezzz | Texas? | Apr 07 14:30 |
abeNd-org | yes | Apr 07 14:30 |
abeNd-org | you? | Apr 07 14:31 |
cubezzz | I'm close to Toronto :) | Apr 07 14:31 |
abeNd-org | hah that will be 'spensive shipping | Apr 07 14:32 |
cubezzz | let me know if you get a c64 though :) | Apr 07 14:32 |
cubezzz | actually you could make a few $$$ on ebay with those | Apr 07 14:34 |
abeNd-org | yea, ive got a few of those 755 with only 1gb ram, i need to sell some stuff to make up the $ to outfit them with 8gb ram | Apr 07 14:34 |

Sosumi | lulz | Apr 07 15:02 |
msb_ | Smartphones and tablets are destroying civilization. The formerly excellent zap2it.com TV schedule listing has now been trashed and de-featured so it will fit into a postage stamp sized screen. God effing damn them! | Apr 07 15:07 |
Sosumi | how is 5 inches post stamp size | Apr 07 15:08 |
Sosumi | msb_ logic | Apr 07 15:08 |
*Sosumi shrugs | Apr 07 15:08 | |
msb_ | Hyperbole. It's still much too small to display a useful amount of information. | Apr 07 15:09 |
Sosumi | in between the pros and cons of portability, 5 inches is fine | Apr 07 15:10 |
Sosumi | just swipe down | Apr 07 15:10 |
msb_ | Any time anyone mentions "improving the user experience" it meanw they are going to s--t all over you. | Apr 07 15:10 |
msb_ | To hell with that. I want to see 6 hours of tv listings, not 3. I want to see 5 days x 24 hours of listings for any particular channel. I want to see the GD year of release of movies!!! They've trashed all that. | Apr 07 15:12 |
MinceR | my phone has a 1280x720 5.5" display | Apr 07 15:13 |
msb_ | I don't want to have to look through a effing keyhole at what was formerly a large 2-D listing, just because some people have tiny screens. | Apr 07 15:13 |
MinceR | it fits more information than some laptops. | Apr 07 15:13 |
msb_ | Good for you. I hope it came with a microscope. | Apr 07 15:13 |
MinceR | it didn't, but my eyes work. | Apr 07 15:13 |
MinceR | my tablet has a 1920x1200 7" display, that's a higher resolution than most monitors | Apr 07 15:14 |
Sosumi | I have a bottle of water that says "Pedras Salgadas" | Apr 07 15:14 |
Sosumi | now try to be that up | Apr 07 15:15 |
Sosumi | *beat | Apr 07 15:15 |
abeNd-org | they dont have a dropdown to select how much to show? | Apr 07 15:15 |
msb_ | I have a 1920x1080 27" screen. | Apr 07 15:15 |
msb_ | No. | Apr 07 15:15 |
MinceR | don't blame smartphones and tablets for people sucking at web design and web programming :> | Apr 07 15:15 |
msb_ | It used to be part of user preferences, which now mostly don't exist. | Apr 07 15:15 |
MinceR | crApple is making lack of configurability chic. | Apr 07 15:16 |
msb_ | I blame corps for catering to the lowest most stupid audience. | Apr 07 15:16 |
msb_ | The KDE4 devs did that too. | Apr 07 15:16 |
MinceR | gnome devs did that too | Apr 07 15:17 |
DaemonFC | Unless I can get an insanely good deal on a refurbished Chromebook, I might just wait for the Samsung Chromebook 2. | Apr 07 15:18 |

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-gigaom.com | Samsung Chromebook 2 set to square off against Intel-powered Chrome OS devices — Tech News and Analysis [ http://ur1.ca/h0q4u ] | Apr 07 15:19 | |
DaemonFC | These look pretty good. | Apr 07 15:19 |
msb_ | I would not trust any system that Google controls. | Apr 07 15:19 |
MinceR | chromebooks can be taken out of google control, afaik | Apr 07 15:19 |
MinceR | not sure how well supplied they are with gpu drivers for x, though | Apr 07 15:19 |
msb_ | Google used to have all Usenet text posts as far back as 1980, searchable. Then they threw it away. | Apr 07 15:20 |
msb_ | There's no way to talk to them anymore, either. Google is now just another corporate pig. | Apr 07 15:21 |
MinceR | indeed. | Apr 07 15:21 |
MinceR | at least their tech tends to suck somewhat less | Apr 07 15:21 |
MinceR | and tends to be a little more open | Apr 07 15:21 |
msb_ | BTW, when did laptops become "notebooks"? | Apr 07 15:21 |
msb_ | If I got one, it would have a 17" screen and a huge hard drive. | Apr 07 15:22 |
MinceR | when marketers decided it was not a good idea to suggest that people use them in their lap, i guess | Apr 07 15:22 |
MinceR | my first two laptops were huge, heavy, with 17" screens | Apr 07 15:22 |
MinceR | i'm still using my ThinkPad W700 at home. | Apr 07 15:23 |
Sosumi | by that definition then, a macbook air should only be used in the "air" | Apr 07 15:23 |
Sosumi | hopefully, it'll float too | Apr 07 15:23 |
msb_ | Well, you have to sit it down somewhere in order to type on it, so the only problem with being heavy is carrying it. | Apr 07 15:23 |
msb_ | Of course floating *would* be nice! | Apr 07 15:24 |
Sosumi | I bet there's an app for that | Apr 07 15:24 |
Sosumi | :) | Apr 07 15:24 |
msb_ | When did programs become "apps" ? | Apr 07 15:25 |
Sosumi | when crapple started calling them that | Apr 07 15:25 |
msb_ | Probably they don't want to remind people about how programmable *people* are! | Apr 07 15:26 |
msb_ | The poisoned Apple. | Apr 07 15:26 |
Sosumi | no, they just want ppl to think that their products are single purposed machines | Apr 07 15:26 |
Sosumi | aka, can't even properly multitask | Apr 07 15:26 |
MinceR | 162313 < Sosumi> by that definition then, a macbook air should only be used in the "air" | Apr 07 15:27 |
MinceR | no, but it's full of hot air | Apr 07 15:27 |
Sosumi | how so? facebook can't make a crapbook overheat | Apr 07 15:27 |
MinceR | crApple hype | Apr 07 15:28 |
msb_ | F---book -- there's another load of garbage contaminating the world. | Apr 07 15:28 |
MinceR | also, others probably called applications "apps" well before crApple did | Apr 07 15:29 |
msb_ | Whoever renamed directories as "folders" should be strangled. | Apr 07 15:29 |
msb_ | I'm in a bad mood today. Now it will be twice as much work to find out what's on TV. | Apr 07 15:30 |
msb_ | You can't see what was on last night either. | Apr 07 15:31 |
msb_ | I guess to the average moron yesterday never existed. | Apr 07 15:31 |

msb_ | The Marching Morons. | Apr 07 15:35 |
msb_ | Soon we'll see ads for rocket trips to lovely new free homes on Venus. | Apr 07 15:35 |

cubezzz | msb_, why not just use tvguide.com ? | Apr 07 15:41 |
msb_ | Thanks, I'll check it out. | Apr 07 15:41 |
cubezzz | it's got NAN errors, but basically it works :) | Apr 07 15:41 |
DaemonFC | Even the low end hardware has gotten pretty good these days. | Apr 07 15:43 |
msb_ | cubezzz: tvguide.com also show only 3 hours of listings, and it does not display the season#/episode# of series shows. But it does show the release year of movies. | Apr 07 15:52 |
cubezzz | msb_, you can specify the time though | Apr 07 15:53 |
msb_ | And you can see the previous day, which you can no longer do with zap2it. | Apr 07 15:54 |
cubezzz | there's probably some other way to tap into the info | Apr 07 15:55 |
msb_ | But the lack of season#/episode# is serious. | Apr 07 15:56 |

Sosumi | aol = america off line | Apr 07 16:20 |
Sosumi | and now more ukranian cities are demanding a referendum to join russia | Apr 07 16:42 |
Sosumi | after a couple of pro-russia militia men stormed some government buildings | Apr 07 16:42 |
Sosumi | earlier this morning | Apr 07 16:43 |
Sosumi | they're also demanding peace-keepers, of which russia says that it'll send only if the UN approves | Apr 07 16:43 |
Sosumi | so in other words, | Apr 07 16:44 |
Sosumi | the fascist coup master minded by the EU and the anglo-americans came back to hit them in the face | Apr 07 16:44 |

Sosumi | the ECB is going to take active measures to make sure prices go up, up, up | Apr 07 16:46 |
Sosumi | i think that sums it up for the day | Apr 07 16:47 |
Sosumi | and amd launched a new fire pro card | Apr 07 16:49 |
Sosumi | the w9100 | Apr 07 16:49 |
Sosumi | hardly beats the quadro k6000 on most stuff | Apr 07 16:50 |

DaemonFC | hmmm | Apr 07 22:31 |
DaemonFC | It seems that Google Chromebooks have this stupid thing called Google Cloud Print. | Apr 07 22:31 |
DaemonFC | Basically it means that anything you print gets sent to Google and then re-routed to your printer, which means you need to buy a new printer. | Apr 07 22:32 |
msb_ | Why? | Apr 07 22:40 |
msb_ | DaemonFC: Does the cloud get the printer all wet? | Apr 07 22:40 |
MinceR | kinky | Apr 07 22:41 |
msb_ | 8^) | Apr 07 22:42 |
DaemonFC | They say it's so they don't have to ship support for a bunch of printers. | Apr 07 22:47 |
MinceR | but actually it's so that the nsa can have a good look at everything you print | Apr 07 22:47 |
MinceR | also, there are printers where you can submit a job on a web interface, so it isn't really needed. | Apr 07 22:48 |
DaemonFC | Right. There's no GOOD reason why they can't just connect to the printer some other way. | Apr 07 23:03 |
DaemonFC | It's spyware. | Apr 07 23:03 |
DaemonFC | MinceR: They have a list of ways you can use it. | Apr 07 23:05 |
DaemonFC | You can use a regular printer by connecting it to a Windows PC or a Mac and installing some special software from Google. | Apr 07 23:05 |
DaemonFC | You can buy a new printer that Google can send print jobs to. | Apr 07 23:06 |
DaemonFC | Or you can submit it as a print job for FedEx and get a code to enter that prints the pages out when you get there. | Apr 07 23:06 |
MinceR | gn | Apr 07 23:20 |

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.google.com | Google - Cloud Print [ http://ur1.ca/h12hd ] | Apr 07 23:28 | |
DaemonFC | That sees like a big pain in the ass just to print an occasional page. | Apr 07 23:28 |
DaemonFC | seems | Apr 07 23:29 |
DaemonFC | Printers are just evil in general. | Apr 07 23:31 |
DaemonFC | HP and others even go so far as to code their printer cartridges with an expiration date. | Apr 07 23:32 |
DaemonFC | Starting the day you put the cartridge in the printer, it starts a countdown, so that the damned thing will eventually refuse to print, even if you have ink left. | Apr 07 23:32 |
DaemonFC | I hate printers so much that I just go to the library and use one of their computers when I need a copy of something. | Apr 07 23:34 |
DaemonFC | It's much cheaper to pay them 20 cents a page than it is to buy a printer and play the ink cartridge games | Apr 07 23:34 |

DaemonFC | I'm digging through the refurb laptops on the Acer outlet storefront. | Apr 08 00:03 |
DaemonFC | That $150 C720 is so tempting. | Apr 08 00:03 |
DaemonFC | Where else do you get a laptop that does anything for $150? :) | Apr 08 00:03 |
DaemonFC | Google says that once a Chromebook has had the first user sign in, that no further users are eligible for any of the "goodies" though. | Apr 08 00:04 |
DaemonFC | including two years of free 100 GB Google Drive | Apr 08 00:04 |
DaemonFC | So, that wipes out at least $50 in value right off the bat. | Apr 08 00:04 |
DaemonFC | A 15 GB Google Drive is free though. I already have one because I use Android. | Apr 08 00:05 |
DaemonFC | If you don't do much with it except uploading photos and stuff, 15 GB should be sufficient. | Apr 08 00:07 |
DaemonFC | Plus, you can always use a thumb drive. | Apr 08 00:08 |

msb_ | cubezzz: By turning off popup blocking and AdBlockPlus I was able to see Season/Episode numbers in the aol tv schedule. But it runs audiovisual flash ads when I click on a show to see that, which could crash my computer. Also it shows only 2.5hours of schedule, and the time selector doesn't work -- ask for 10PM and I get 10AM. Also no movie year, nor original series ep broadcast date. No better than zap2it, which now has season/ep | Apr 08 05:33 |
msb_ | numbers again. | Apr 08 05:33 |
msb_ | Basically, it's the shits. | Apr 08 05:34 |

cubezzz | eh? how could it crash your computer? | Apr 08 07:10 |
cubezzz | well, I'll see what else I can find | Apr 08 07:11 |
MinceR | i suppose by triggering video driver bugs | Apr 08 07:22 |

cubezzz | I'm compiling it now to check it out | Apr 08 08:07 |

msb_ | Have to go do something now, back in 15 min. or so. Thanks for your help! I'll try the sites you've suggested when I get back. | Apr 08 08:09 |

TechrightsBot-tr | Hello World! I'm TechrightsBot-tr running phIRCe v0.75 | Apr 08 11:31 |
schestowitz_bed2 | [23:34] <DaemonFC> I hate printers so much that I just go to the library and use one of their computers when I need a copy of something. | Apr 08 11:36 |
schestowitz_bed2 | [23:34] <DaemonFC> It's much cheaper to pay them 20 cents a page than it is to buy a printer and play the ink cartridge games | Apr 08 11:36 |
schestowitz_bed2 | I'm the saem | Apr 08 11:36 |
schestowitz_bed2 | in a photo development shop | Apr 08 11:37 |
schestowitz_bed2 | they also make better prints | Apr 08 11:37 |
schestowitz_bed2 | the idea of printing from home is the anti-sharing mentality | Apr 08 11:37 |
schestowitz_bed2 | where rather than a family sharing a landline each carries a tracking device | Apr 08 11:37 |
schestowitz_bed2 | and people buy several of each thing instead of sharing | Apr 08 11:37 |

DaemonFC | schestowitz_bed2: They have family plans. A smartphone is a computer. You don't really want to share it with people. | Apr 08 11:47 |
DaemonFC | I do like that Android Beam. | Apr 08 11:47 |
DaemonFC | Where you can beam files to other Android phones. | Apr 08 11:48 |
DaemonFC | schestowitz_bed2: I'll bet that Google made some kind of deal with HP. | Apr 08 11:52 |
DaemonFC | They make Chromebooks and then Google sabotages the OS to where it can't run a printer connected over USB. | Apr 08 11:53 |
DaemonFC | suddenly you need a "google cloud print" printer that sends all your documents to the NSA | Apr 08 11:54 |
DaemonFC | schestowitz_bed2: I did end up snagging that $149.99 refurbished C720. | Apr 08 11:54 |
DaemonFC | I was hoping to get one for $99 at Best Buy in exchange for one of my XP boat anchors that's been in the bedroom closet for years. | Apr 08 11:55 |
DaemonFC | But the real deal ended up being honored only if you trade in a laptop. | Apr 08 11:55 |
schestowitz_bed2 | [13:00] <DaemonFC> schestowitz__: That's why you don't talk about who you voted for at work. | Apr 08 11:56 |
schestowitz_bed2 | [13:01] <MinceR> schestowitz__: what is that referring to? | Apr 08 11:57 |

MinceR | i thought it was about funding, not voting | Apr 08 11:58 |
schestowitz__ | both count | Apr 08 11:58 |
schestowitz__ | in a workplace | Apr 08 11:58 |
DaemonFC | I changed my Amazon Smile charity to the Electronic Frontier Foundation. | Apr 08 11:58 |
schestowitz__ | a superior might not promote someone for voting far right | Apr 08 11:58 |
schestowitz__ | or even Republican, which in the US is "acceptable" far right | Apr 08 11:58 |
schestowitz__ | DaemonFC: good for you | Apr 08 11:59 |
schestowitz__ | yuo might be on a "list" for that | Apr 08 11:59 |
schestowitz__ | one day you put a sticker on your laptop and the next day you're accused of working for FSB in Moscow | Apr 08 12:00 |
MinceR | i tend to peel stickers off my laptops | Apr 08 12:01 |
MinceR | especially the winblows ads | Apr 08 12:01 |
MinceR | also helps reduce the bazaar look :> | Apr 08 12:01 |
schestowitz__ | I did that too | Apr 08 12:01 |
schestowitz__ | Some don't peel off so well | Apr 08 12:02 |
cubezzz | haha, I figure you did that MinceR :) | Apr 08 12:02 |
MinceR | some stickers i would like to retain tend to peel off their own | Apr 08 12:03 |
MinceR | the nSeries sticker on my dHell became an empty silvery rectangle after a while | Apr 08 12:03 |
schestowitz__ | meh | Apr 08 12:03 |
schestowitz__ | mine has warranty sticker | Apr 08 12:03 |
MinceR | the GNU or FSF (i can't remember which) sticker i replaced it with also became a silvery circle | Apr 08 12:03 |
schestowitz__ | covering the remnants of a Windows Vistas sticker that did not peel off so well | Apr 08 12:03 |
schestowitz__ | Because, you know, it's Vista | Apr 08 12:04 |
MinceR | the ThinkPad logo on the wrist pad of my tablet PC became a hollow shape | Apr 08 12:04 |
schestowitz__ | nothing works well | Apr 08 12:04 |
MinceR | :> | Apr 08 12:04 |
MinceR | my sweat probably dissolves the solvents | Apr 08 12:04 |
cubezzz | at least they don't stamp MICROSOFT into the laptop's molecular structure :) | Apr 08 12:04 |
MinceR | yet | Apr 08 12:04 |
schestowitz__ | There is also ATI sticker (AMD) and Intel on it | Apr 08 12:04 |
schestowitz__ | I leave the Intel one on because it might not peel off well | Apr 08 12:04 |
*|Omega| is now known as Omega | Apr 08 12:04 | |
schestowitz__ | and it look a bit fancy with hologramic effect | Apr 08 12:04 |
MinceR | i don't mind the intel stickers | Apr 08 12:05 |
schestowitz__ | It's like "smoking kills" sticker | Apr 08 12:05 |
schestowitz__ | "centrino Inside" | Apr 08 12:05 |
DaemonFC | MinceR: Some of those Chromebooks are covered in stickers. | Apr 08 12:05 |
schestowitz__ | [12:04] <MinceR> my sweat probably dissolves the solvents | Apr 08 12:06 |
DaemonFC | "OMG, THIS HAS WIRELESS N ZOMG!!!!" | Apr 08 12:06 |
schestowitz__ | Is Absurdistan ever getting so warm? | Apr 08 12:06 |
DaemonFC | "ZOMG INTEL INSIDE!!!!" | Apr 08 12:06 |
schestowitz__ | Yeah | Apr 08 12:06 |
cubezzz | avoiding Intel is tough | Apr 08 12:06 |
DaemonFC | I think that the one I bought only has the Intel sticker. | Apr 08 12:06 |
MinceR | my EeePC had lots of stickers | Apr 08 12:06 |
schestowitz__ | Did Google trademark "Chrome"? | Apr 08 12:06 |
MinceR | :> | Apr 08 12:06 |
DaemonFC | It has a Haswell Celeron. | Apr 08 12:06 |
schestowitz__ | Or did it strugglew like ti does with "Glass"? | Apr 08 12:06 |
schestowitz__ | MS got "Windows", but Google can't get "Glass" | Apr 08 12:07 |
MinceR | schestowitz__: the unhabitable concrete box i live in has no air conditioning | Apr 08 12:07 |
DaemonFC | schestowitz__: I think that the C720 is the best deal out there right now, especially refurbished. | Apr 08 12:07 |
MinceR | or proper insulation | Apr 08 12:07 |
DaemonFC | Where else are you going to get a laptop that does all that for $150? | Apr 08 12:07 |
cubezzz | it's still cold here | Apr 08 12:07 |
cubezzz | 1 C | Apr 08 12:07 |
DaemonFC | As far as I know, there aren't any $150 Windows laptops out there at all. | Apr 08 12:07 |
MinceR | eventually my sweat took off the intel stickers too, iirc | Apr 08 12:07 |
MinceR | but those didn't come apart | Apr 08 12:08 |
DaemonFC | MinceR: They could probably get the price down some more if they went with AMD. | Apr 08 12:09 |
DaemonFC | for the Chromebooks | Apr 08 12:09 |
DaemonFC | The fact that there's an Intel processor in there at all, even just a Celeron, probably raises the price $20-30. | Apr 08 12:10 |
DaemonFC | They could be selling these things brand new for $150 and making a profit with AMD processors. | Apr 08 12:10 |
DaemonFC | I deliberately stayed away from the Samsung Chromebook. | Apr 08 12:13 |
MinceR | my 'replace the laptop with an arm tablet' project failed | Apr 08 12:14 |
DaemonFC | It's more expensive, it's slower, and it has proprietary graphics drivers that aren't included in standard GNU/Linux distributions, so it's very hard to run anything other than Chrome OS on it. | Apr 08 12:14 |
DaemonFC | Yeah. | Apr 08 12:14 |
DaemonFC | MinceR: I tried that back in 2011 with an Archos G9. | Apr 08 12:14 |
DaemonFC | They're just not good enough. | Apr 08 12:14 |
MinceR | mainly because the android UI is not that keyboard-friendly and can't run x2x or synergy | Apr 08 12:14 |
MinceR | (it traps alt+tab and super+tab for the same thing, and i can't let them through to bVNC) | Apr 08 12:15 |
DaemonFC | MinceR: Swype works fine on phones. | Apr 08 12:15 |
MinceR | hacker's keyboard works fine on phones and tablets | Apr 08 12:15 |
MinceR | well, sometimes it gets a little sluggish | Apr 08 12:15 |
MinceR | also, i couldn't get the armhf qemu binaries to run for x86 or arm guests | Apr 08 12:16 |
MinceR | maybe i didn't have enough memory | Apr 08 12:16 |
MinceR | a dualboot-capable rom would solve the UI problems and free up memory for GNU | Apr 08 12:18 |
MinceR | eventually | Apr 08 12:19 |

schestowitz__ | I'd rank UK 3 | Apr 08 12:59 |
MinceR | depends on what you compare it to | Apr 08 12:59 |

DaemonFC | I've got an offer on one of my really old computers. | Apr 09 02:31 |
DaemonFC | I put it on Craigslist for $30 just to get rid of it. It would never run a version of Windows newer than XP, but it could still run Xubuntu or something and make a really nice computer for web browsing and older video games. | Apr 09 02:31 |
DaemonFC | Most of the stuff on Good Old Games runs in Wine (software), and there's so many old games that I could never have afforded new that are like $5 now, with no DRM. | Apr 09 02:31 |
DaemonFC | Wine has gotten to the point where it's really a better Windows than Windows, especially with the PlayOnLinux front end. | Apr 09 02:31 |
DaemonFC | People just don't appreciate what an old computer can really do. They lose their value very fast because the current version of Windows is a big bloated behemoth that barely runs on some systems that are quite fast. | Apr 09 02:31 |
DaemonFC | Swapping out Windows for GNU/Linux is like telling a person that they can either carry 1,000 pounds of dead weight up a hill or trim it down to the 50 pounds of essentials. Windows really is quite awful. I refuse to ever touch it again. | Apr 09 02:31 |

DaemonFC | I actually saw an app for sale in Apple's app store, that tells Apple users how to calculate a tip. | Apr 09 13:26 |
DaemonFC | So, let me get this straight. Someone who got through school after managing to flunk basic math has an $849 phone. | Apr 09 13:26 |
DaemonFC | One wonders how these people do that. They can't all be Walmart managers, can they? | Apr 09 13:26 |

schestowitz__ | I wonder what they say.. | Apr 10 10:47 |
Sosumi | I can | Apr 10 10:47 |
Sosumi | HAVE you ever wondered what happened to Linux? Linux is the free software created through the open source development process that many technology enthusiasts had predicted would revolutionize the world of computing. | Apr 10 10:48 |
Sosumi | It may not be widely known, but Linux did revolutionize computing. If you own an Android phone or a Kindle e-reader, you are a Linux user. Linux is at the core of those popular devices and is found in a variety of other places, from the world’s most powerful supercomputers down to the tiny Raspberry Pi device that is a favorite among electronics hobbyists. | Apr 10 10:48 |
Sosumi | But Linux has had less success in personal computers. Fewer than 2 percent of desktop or laptop computers run it, according to a survey by Net Applications. That could be because for the bulk of Windows and Mac users, switching entirely to Linux probably does not make sense. But exploring Linux could still be worth the time for those looking for a proven, low-cost alternative to the two mainstream operating systems. | Apr 10 10:48 |
Sosumi | Installing Linux as the main operating system on a spare computer is one way to explore it. Some versions can also run live on a CD or DVD, but a more flexible choice may be to run it “virtually.” That way, it can run within Windows or Mac OS X and a variety of Linux versions can be installed. Programs like VirtualBox or VMware Fusion make this possible. | Apr 10 10:48 |
Sosumi | To do this, you will need to figure out a few things. Does your computer have a 32-bit or 64-bit processor? (Most newer ones are 64-bit, but Linux is available for either.) And you may need to enable your processor’s virtualization capabilities. If you become stuck, plenty of online tutorials are available to help. | Apr 10 10:48 |
Sosumi | There are many types of Linux. At their core, many are the same. But their interfaces and applications may differ, as well as the level of support from the open-source community. | Apr 10 10:48 |
Sosumi | Bodhi Linux is all about minimalism and performance. This makes it an option for older or “low-end” systems. The desktop setup, called Enlightenment, is frugal with resources while offering an eye-catching and straightforward experience. The desktop is free of clutter, the task bar is well organized and menus are easy to navigate. The other stated ideal of Bodhi is choice. While only a basic set of applications are installed by default, | Apr 10 10:48 |
Sosumi | users can download more from an AppCenter with free software organized in categories like office, education and multimedia. | Apr 10 10:48 |
Sosumi | Linux Mint offers a choice of desktop environments, including one called Cinnamon. A Mac or Windows user may find Cinnamon intuitive to navigate. There is a task bar along the bottom, with a menu button on the left that provides access to applications, system settings and folders. A number of useful programs can be installed by default, like LibreOffice, an Office-like software set; the Firefox browser; Adobe Flash for media like YouTube vi | Apr 10 10:48 |
Sosumi | deos; Thunderbird for mail; Pidgin for instant messaging; and GIMP for image editing. A built-in Software Manager provides a way to download and install many more applications. | Apr 10 10:48 |
Sosumi | Ubuntu is one of the more widely known versions of Linux and also one of the simplest to install. An installation program can replace an existing system or, in some cases, set Ubuntu to be an option when a computer starts up. The desktop environment, called Unity, has a tablet-like look. | Apr 10 10:48 |
Sosumi | Ubuntu comes with a collection of installed applications like Firefox and LibreOffice. It also has an online storage feature called Ubuntu One, with five gigabytes of free storage for photos, music and other files; access to these can be made from within Ubuntu or across devices like phones, Macs and PCs. If you are not a fan of the Unity layout, you can try Xubuntu and Lubuntu for a more familiar look. | Apr 10 10:48 |
Sosumi | Fedora was started in 2003 as an offshoot of Red Hat Linux. Still sponsored by Red Hat Inc., Fedora has gained a reputation as a testing ground for features that may end up in Red Hat Enterprise Linux. New editions are released frequently, and the current version, Fedora 20, is available with a choice of desktop environments. | Apr 10 10:48 |
Sosumi | The Gnome 3 environment, the default, departs from tradition: The user is presented with an empty desktop area and no task bar, dock or “Start” button. Clicking the Activities item in the top left corner will reveal applications and other options, including a search box for finding documents, contacts and other items. Fedora comes with installed programs like Firefox, Evolution mail, Rhythmbox for music and Shotwell for managing photos. | Apr 10 10:48 |
Sosumi | Elementary OS is another Linux flavor that aims for ease of use and performance — as well as smoothness. Elementary OS also includes a few Mac-like elements, like a dock at the bottom of the screen and “hot corners” for fast switching to different work spaces. | Apr 10 10:49 |
Sosumi | Of course numerous other types of Linux are available. For more technical versions, consider options like Slackware and Arch. Or, if you prefer baby steps, take a look at Zorin, which emulates aspects of Windows. And if you cannot find a type of Linux you like, you can always create your own with options like Linux From Scratch or Ubuntu Builder. | Apr 10 10:49 |
Sosumi | Linux is not for everyone. But if you feel constrained by Windows or Mac OS X, it can offer a way out. And if you enjoy choice and flexibility, you just may become hooked. | Apr 10 10:49 |

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-@widefox: @schestowitz luck? Estimate I saw was 60% of all secure sites. | Apr 10 11:54 | |
schestowitz__ | Depending on whether they use https | Apr 10 11:54 |
Jibbler | the earlier 66% estimates were based on the combined market share of Apache and nginx | Apr 10 12:18 |
Jibbler | but that counted all HTTP sites | Apr 10 12:18 |
Jibbler | and not all HTTPS sites using Apache and nginx had the TLS heartbeat extension enabled | Apr 10 12:18 |
Jibbler | so it's more like 17% of all HTTPS sites that were affected | Apr 10 12:18 |
Jibbler | (so that's like half a million sites rather than a few hundred million) | Apr 10 12:22 |

Sosumi | xp only began to be ok after the second release | Apr 10 13:37 |
Sosumi | but no mention to that | Apr 10 13:38 |
Sosumi | nor no mention to those issues with xp where everything would automatically run | Apr 10 13:39 |
Sosumi | surfed a wrong website? here's a gazillion popups, bars and junk | Apr 10 13:40 |
Sosumi | ofc that was awesome for computer repair shops | Apr 10 13:40 |
Jibbler | that sounds like a web browser issue rather than an operating system issue | Apr 10 13:40 |
Sosumi | it was IE | Apr 10 13:40 |
Sosumi | everything would automatically install | Apr 10 13:41 |
Sosumi | but the xp "everyone" seems to love | Apr 10 13:43 |
MinceR | i never loved winblows xp | Apr 10 13:43 |
Sosumi | is xp sp2 | Apr 10 13:43 |
Sosumi | but no mention to that either | Apr 10 13:44 |
Sosumi | DrPizza_, a pig with lipstick it's still a pig | Apr 10 13:44 |

Sosumi | first article that popped out on google | Apr 10 13:51 |
MinceR | it's his job to smear so much lipstick on the pig that the pig is no longer visible | Apr 10 13:53 |
cubezzz | I wrote a bit on operating systems here: | Apr 10 13:54 |
cubezzz | http://www.maxhost.org/other/os-with-source-code.txt | Apr 10 13:54 |
cubezzz | unix v6 is definitely worthy of study, that's why MIT made Xv6 written in ANSI C for teaching purposes | Apr 10 14:11 |
cubezzz | I see XP's EOL as an opportunity to load up more boxes with Linux, BSD, and Plan 9 | Apr 10 15:19 |
cubezzz | XP is irrelevant to me | Apr 10 15:19 |
cubezzz | no source code for device drivers... and it's bloated | Apr 10 15:19 |
cubezzz | I said that in 2001 :) | Apr 10 15:20 |
cubezzz | simple simple stuff like running old scanners under win2000 was a problem too | Apr 10 15:21 |
cubezzz | they (HP) didn't bother supporting win2000 for SCL scanners | Apr 10 15:21 |
cubezzz | they said (paraphrasing) "too bad, this isn't the answer you like, buy a new scanner" | Apr 10 15:22 |
cubezzz | so yeah, end of XP, so what, I never used it once | Apr 10 15:23 |
cubezzz | want to see how easy it is to write to scanner in Linux? | Apr 10 15:26 |
cubezzz | http://www.cubeman.org/scanner/scantest2.c | Apr 10 15:27 |
Sosumi | creative didn't bother either in supplying versions of their sound card controlling software that worked on xp | Apr 10 15:29 |
Sosumi | during the transition from 98 to xp back then | Apr 10 15:29 |
Sosumi | so folks using the live 5.1 and the original audigy cards had to buy an audigy 2 | Apr 10 15:30 |
Sosumi | sound card | Apr 10 15:30 |
Sosumi | or just use the driver they made available | Apr 10 15:30 |
Sosumi | with no controlling software | Apr 10 15:30 |
Sosumi | nor EAX for sound effects in games | Apr 10 15:30 |

cubezzz | CT4810 PCI works, VIA AC97 works | Apr 10 15:41 |
cubezzz | probably there driver support is crap for linux though | Apr 10 15:43 |
cubezzz | s/there/their/ | Apr 10 15:43 |
cubezzz | Thomas Sailer wrote the driver for ensoniq, it's totally open source | Apr 10 15:47 |
Sosumi | their linux initiative had always been joke | Apr 10 15:54 |
Sosumi | and that has been defunct since 2005 | Apr 10 15:55 |
Sosumi | their audigy 2 parts from 2003 never saw a gnu/linux release | Apr 10 15:56 |
Sosumi | and I can confirm that | Apr 10 15:56 |
cubezzz | ok, after a quick look it seems that Live 5.1 has decent support | Apr 10 15:56 |
Sosumi | since I had back then one of their higher end audigy cards | Apr 10 15:56 |
Sosumi | the audigy 2 platinum ex | Apr 10 15:57 |
Sosumi | live, 128bit pci, etc | Apr 10 15:57 |

cubezzz | 6809 was 8-bit with a few 16-bit features | Apr 11 12:21 |

cubezzz | e.g. you need a big chunk of memory you use malloc | Apr 11 12:25 |
cubezzz | arrays for smaller stuff | Apr 11 12:25 |
cubezzz | I think just using the stack is faster than malloc | Apr 11 12:26 |
msb_ | Use the stack as a heap? (vague recollection) How? | Apr 11 12:27 |
cubezzz | no, I just mean using the stack is faster | Apr 11 12:28 |
msb_ | These strings are going to be pointed to from structs which will be pointed to by an array. | Apr 11 12:28 |
cubezzz | assuming you don't overflow the stack :) | Apr 11 12:28 |
msb_ | I'm reading that xml file into a zillions of structs with strings attached | Apr 11 12:29 |
msb_ | actually, arrays of strings. | Apr 11 12:29 |
msb_ | I should do it the simplest way. Maybe it will be fast enough. If not, then I'll make my own mini-super-malloc. | Apr 11 12:30 |

msb_ | Yes, but how many people could tell the difference between oc and not without a numerical measurement or a stopwatch or side to side comparison? | Apr 11 17:02 |

cubezzz | I never used XP | Apr 11 19:13 |

sebsebseb | ,but I guess worth it really | Apr 11 20:17 |
sebsebseb | it's not a standard mouse | Apr 11 20:17 |
MinceR | i still don't know if i prefer optical or laser | Apr 11 20:17 |
sebsebseb | I think other htan the things I just put though that it's just a optical really though | Apr 11 20:17 |
cubezzz | another odd thing, I don't think too many people know about this, the whole processes as files thing was from Unix version 8 | Apr 11 20:17 |
MinceR | /proc? | Apr 11 20:17 |
cubezzz | yes | Apr 11 20:17 |

MinceR | you can bind them anyway | Apr 11 20:19 |
sebsebseb | what do you mean | Apr 11 20:19 |
sebsebseb | bind use for what is wanted? | Apr 11 20:19 |
sebsebseb | change the layout a bit? | Apr 11 20:19 |

oiaohm | boy the recent openssl error has caused a nice big mess. | Apr 12 13:38 |
cubezzz | oiaohm, got a question for you | Apr 12 13:42 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: what is the question. | Apr 12 13:43 |
cubezzz | do you know what virtio_console does? | Apr 12 13:43 |
cubezzz | remember we were talking about the linux text console getting corrupted? | Apr 12 13:43 |
cubezzz | I'm still looking for ways to reset the text console | Apr 12 13:43 |
cubezzz | even when I shutdown X and restart it using a different driver (e.g. vesa) it still doesn't reset the text console | Apr 12 13:44 |
cubezzz | there's /sys/class/vtconsole/vtcon0/name | Apr 12 13:45 |
cubezzz | and it shows (S) VGA+ | Apr 12 13:45 |
cubezzz | for (S)ystem driver | Apr 12 13:45 |
cubezzz | but there's a (M)odular driver too | Apr 12 13:46 |
oiaohm | http://seife.kernalert.de/blog/2012/10/23/using-virtio-console-with-kvm/ | Apr 12 13:46 |
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-seife.kernalert.de | Using virtio console with KVM « seife’s assorted rants [ http://ur1.ca/amb73 ] | Apr 12 13:46 | |
cubezzz | yeah I read that | Apr 12 13:46 |
oiaohm | Did you note the tty bit. | Apr 12 13:46 |
oiaohm | Its going to be interesting when the Linux console code is moved to userspace. | Apr 12 13:47 |
cubezzz | yeah I did what they said actually | Apr 12 13:47 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: tty is a use a seriel like console. | Apr 12 13:47 |
oiaohm | Not the normal framebuffer | Apr 12 13:48 |
oiaohm | Yes serial consoles reset differently. | Apr 12 13:48 |
cubezzz | but... what is console=hcv0 ? | Apr 12 13:48 |
cubezzz | I thought modprobe virtio_console would do something different but everything seems to be the same still | Apr 12 13:49 |
oiaohm | hcv0 is the device | Apr 12 13:49 |
cubezzz | yes, it's mentioned in virtio_console.c | Apr 12 13:51 |
cubezzz | but I have no /dev/hcv0 | Apr 12 13:51 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: fedora has better instructions. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/VirtioSerial | Apr 12 13:53 |
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-fedoraproject.org | Features/VirtioSerial - FedoraProject [ http://ur1.ca/h2agi ] | Apr 12 13:53 | |
oiaohm | cubezzz: when you start the virtual instance you have to declare how many virtio consoles you will have. | Apr 12 13:54 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: if you have declared none their will be none. | Apr 12 13:54 |
oiaohm | Basically virtio console is seperate to the vtcon0 | Apr 12 13:56 |
cubezzz | oh this seems to be related to virtualization | Apr 12 13:56 |
cubezzz | I did an experiment switching from radeon to vesa and back | Apr 12 13:57 |
cubezzz | it effected the text console, but didn't fix it | Apr 12 13:58 |
cubezzz | I guess it doesn't really matter too much, I can just ssh in if I'm X or the text console messes up | Apr 12 13:59 |
cubezzz | the text console never really stops or resets as far as I can see | Apr 12 13:59 |
msb_ | cubezzz: Have you tried typing (blindly, if you're not seeing an echo) stty sane ? | Apr 12 14:02 |
cubezzz | oh yeah I can still login and the screen changes | Apr 12 14:02 |
cubezzz | I can't really see what I'm doing but I know I'm logged in | Apr 12 14:02 |
cubezzz | sometimes it's all vertical bars | Apr 12 14:03 |
cubezzz | it happens (rarely) when I run some old Loki games | Apr 12 14:03 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: is your card a old ATI. | Apr 12 14:03 |
cubezzz | ATI Radeon 9550 AGP | Apr 12 14:04 |
cubezzz | I guess it's kind of old | Apr 12 14:04 |

oiaohm | cubezzz: I kinda suspected so. | Apr 12 14:06 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: dieing ATI radeon cards go down in the same creativity. | Apr 12 14:06 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: ati cards loss the means to draw text. | Apr 12 14:07 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: as their gpu starts dieing. | Apr 12 14:07 |
cubezzz | huh | Apr 12 14:07 |
cubezzz | it's been like this for years | Apr 12 14:08 |
cubezzz | about once or twice a month I lose the text console | Apr 12 14:09 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: and you have had your ATI card overheated once right. | Apr 12 14:09 |
cubezzz | I bought it used around 2010 I think | Apr 12 14:09 |
cubezzz | it's possible | Apr 12 14:09 |
cubezzz | is there any card you recommend that doesn't overheat that would work on this p3 AGP box? | Apr 12 14:10 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: I don't use second hand cards. | Apr 12 14:11 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: I don't know of any new AGP | Apr 12 14:11 |
cubezzz | ah | Apr 12 14:11 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: switching from x11 to console and back sometimes can go south with older cards as well. | Apr 12 14:12 |
oiaohm | but if that is the case if you have set up SAK that will cure a Linux kernel mess up. | Apr 12 14:12 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/SAK.txt | Apr 12 14:13 |
oiaohm | but if it the card itself SAK will not fix it. | Apr 12 14:13 |
oiaohm | Also if it the card ssh login in and attempt to trigger resets will not work either. | Apr 12 14:14 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: the issue you describe match ATI card that has been overheated. | Apr 12 14:14 |
cubezzz | ah I see | Apr 12 14:14 |
MinceR | geekings | Apr 12 14:14 |
cubezzz | well, that would explain it | Apr 12 14:14 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: mind you an old nvidia is more creative. | Apr 12 14:15 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: old nvidia that has been overheated starts reporting as a intel video card. | Apr 12 14:15 |
cubezzz | I have another old p3 that ran for over a year without messing up (switching from text to X and back) | Apr 12 14:16 |
cubezzz | but that was using the vesa driver on openbsd | Apr 12 14:16 |
cubezzz | never messed up the text console at least | Apr 12 14:16 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: if it dead ati it will also mess up running openbsd. | Apr 12 14:17 |
cubezzz | oiaohm, this not dead though | Apr 12 14:17 |
cubezzz | it's | Apr 12 14:17 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: half-dead | Apr 12 14:17 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: ati cards pretend to be alive | Apr 12 14:17 |
cubezzz | X always works... only the text console messes up | Apr 12 14:17 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: text console is allocated in the same ram in the video card all the time. | Apr 12 14:18 |
cubezzz | well I suppose it's not 100% functional | Apr 12 14:18 |
cubezzz | but I wouldn't say it's dead | Apr 12 14:19 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: there is a reason why I said dead. | Apr 12 14:19 |
msb_ | cubezzz: It's old and had a stroke. | Apr 12 14:19 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: text console goes first. X11 will follow. | Apr 12 14:19 |
oiaohm | msb_: had a stroke and due for another one. | Apr 12 14:20 |
msb_ | oiaohm: Thanks for the SAK page! I've known about Alt-SysReq, but not SAK. | Apr 12 14:20 |
oiaohm | msb_: alt-sysreq is very bad to use. | Apr 12 14:22 |
oiaohm | msb_: but when desperate you use anything. | Apr 12 14:23 |
cubezzz | oiaohm, I will check back in 10 years :) | Apr 12 14:23 |
cubezzz | if it still works in 10 years then you'll need to revise your opinion :) | Apr 12 14:23 |
msb_ | oiaohm: Any kind of rebooting is bad for me, because I have to set up the directories in about 60 konsoles/mcs in 20 virtual desktops. | Apr 12 14:25 |
cubezzz | I have video cards much older and they didn't mess up like that at all | Apr 12 14:25 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: notice I said ati its a particular geneartion of atis. | Apr 12 14:25 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: the 9xxx stuff and the 8xxx stuff. | Apr 12 14:26 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: all suffer from overheating stuffing the mmu on the video card. | Apr 12 14:26 |
cubezzz | ah well, you are probably right then | Apr 12 14:26 |
oiaohm | and once its started its progressive. | Apr 12 14:26 |
cubezzz | the only question is how long it will continue to work | Apr 12 14:26 |
msb_ | Eventually all you can get from it is, "I had jello today." | Apr 12 14:27 |
oiaohm | Normally before X11 stops working on them the bios screens become unreadable. | Apr 12 14:27 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: yes yes dieing ati gets wrong. | Apr 12 14:28 |
cubezzz | oiaohm, have you seen this: | Apr 12 14:28 |
cubezzz | http://www.maxhost.org/other/openbsd-icewm-with-mwm.png | Apr 12 14:28 |
cubezzz | it's a shame about ati | Apr 12 14:29 |
cubezzz | I used to think their engineering was really good | Apr 12 14:29 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: really there were. | Apr 12 14:30 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: just they got a little too close to limit in particular generations. | Apr 12 14:30 |
oiaohm | And if you never overheat them they would have lasted. | Apr 12 14:30 |
msb_ | oiaohm: Why is alt-sysreq bad to use? | Apr 12 14:30 |
cubezzz | I doubt I worked this card too hard | Apr 12 14:30 |
cubezzz | the previous owner might have | Apr 12 14:31 |
oiaohm | msb_: alt-sysreq fails to free up ram correctly when you trigger its sak. | Apr 12 14:31 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: that is the problem with ATI cards of those generations. | Apr 12 14:31 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: you need the full life history 1 overhead and they will die. | Apr 12 14:31 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: yes you now know why I don't touch second hand video cards. | Apr 12 14:32 |
cubezzz | oiaohm, I have ati vga wonders that still work :) | Apr 12 14:32 |
cubezzz | it's an interesting problem though, hard reset brings the text console back | Apr 12 14:33 |
cubezzz | heck, there's still some S100 video cards that still work | Apr 12 14:34 |
cubezzz | age is only one factor | Apr 12 14:34 |
msb_ | cubezzz: Have you tried "stty sane" or "Alt-SysReq R" | Apr 12 14:34 |
cubezzz | msb_, I've tried everything yeah | Apr 12 14:34 |
cubezzz | my guess would be some piece of video memory is getting over-written | Apr 12 14:35 |
cubezzz | sometimes I see text but it's very faint | Apr 12 14:35 |
cubezzz | sometimes it's vertical bars | Apr 12 14:36 |
cubezzz | sometimes the text console looks like a messed up X session :) | Apr 12 14:36 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: so far perfect description of dieing ati. | Apr 12 14:37 |
cubezzz | you would think resetting the text console would be easy to do | Apr 12 14:37 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: when an ati starts up it zeros it memory. | Apr 12 14:37 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: or thoese old ones did. | Apr 12 14:37 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: so unstable ram gets made functional for a little bit. | Apr 12 14:38 |
oiaohm | And that little bit is a very random value. | Apr 12 14:38 |
oiaohm | anything from 5 mins to 10 days. | Apr 12 14:38 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: thinking I leave computers running with text console only and no x11. | Apr 12 14:39 |
oiaohm | and running for months at a time. | Apr 12 14:39 |
oiaohm | sometimes years. | Apr 12 14:39 |
cubezzz | my utility power doesn't seem good enough for years :-/ | Apr 12 14:39 |
cubezzz | but I've done 380 days | Apr 12 14:39 |
cubezzz | I have this Dell GX110 with some intel video chipset | Apr 12 14:40 |
cubezzz | it doesn't mess up... one year running and still fine | Apr 12 14:40 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: my sad record is a lost server. | Apr 12 14:40 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: 6 years without rebooting. | Apr 12 14:40 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: kinda highly insecure by that point. | Apr 12 14:41 |
cubezzz | but... I assume that you weren't switching from text to X and back? | Apr 12 14:41 |
cubezzz | although I guess that shouldn't matter | Apr 12 14:41 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: it did not even have a video card. | Apr 12 14:42 |
oiaohm | serial console only. | Apr 12 14:42 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: I have some true server hardware. | Apr 12 14:42 |
cubezzz | any opinion on what would be the most durable video card? | Apr 12 14:42 |
msb_ | When DRAM chips first came out -- 1024bits IIRC -- mfrs talked about taking care that the epoxy encapsulant didn't contain any radioactives that could emit alpha particles and flip bits. | Apr 12 14:43 |
oiaohm | No video card and just a serial port would be the most durable. | Apr 12 14:43 |
oiaohm | msb_: there is no such thing as a materials that are 100 percent not radioactive. | Apr 12 14:44 |
cubezzz | what I really want is a computer that always works | Apr 12 14:44 |
msb_ | oiaohm: Sure, but they reduced it to a billion years MTBF or some such. | Apr 12 14:45 |
cubezzz | I have to say this old Dell has been pretty good | Apr 12 14:45 |
cubezzz | I'd settle for 100 years :) | Apr 12 14:45 |
msb_ | Yes, but with 1024bits/chip they needed a lot of chips per machine. | Apr 12 14:46 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: http://www.coreboot.org/Serial_console you are after solid. Motherboard that supports coreboot without onboard video card. Setup for serial remove video card. | Apr 12 14:47 |
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.coreboot.org | Serial console - coreboot | Apr 12 14:48 | |
oiaohm | cubezzz: Yes I do this horible to servers. | Apr 12 14:48 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: it also removes a lot of tampering. | Apr 12 14:48 |
cubezzz | yes, for a server that's fine | Apr 12 14:49 |
cubezzz | I'll definitely try that for the server | Apr 12 14:49 |
cubezzz | but I also write openmotif stuff | Apr 12 14:49 |
cubezzz | and run a few games | Apr 12 14:50 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: its the old theory the least number of parts to screw up the better. | Apr 12 14:50 |
cubezzz | yes, coreboot is good, I use it sometimes | Apr 12 14:50 |
msb_ | But then you're left with reading a good book. | Apr 12 14:50 |
oiaohm | msb_: there is another advantage to using serial | Apr 12 14:51 |
oiaohm | serial data loggers. | Apr 12 14:51 |
oiaohm | to create a log the OS cannot delete. | Apr 12 14:51 |
cubezzz | oiaohm, you know I think I even have an EGA wonder that still works | Apr 12 14:51 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: I have an old s3 trio around here somehere and an old tnt2 | Apr 12 14:52 |
msb_ | Save that old stuff. If we have a CME or GRB they may be the only computers left that work! | Apr 12 14:53 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: all the video cards I have since then I have killed. | Apr 12 14:53 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: 3d rendering for days at a time they did not like. | Apr 12 14:54 |
oiaohm | cubezzz I get about 4 to 5 years out a videocard. | Apr 12 14:55 |
msb_ | When computers become conscious that will be a crime. | Apr 12 14:56 |
cubezzz | yeah I have an old Jaton AGP card that's been running 24/7 in the server for a long time | Apr 12 14:58 |
cubezzz | at least 10 years | Apr 12 14:58 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: I guess no heavy lifting. | Apr 12 14:58 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: my video cards have to put up with blender and equal running flat stack. | Apr 12 14:59 |

DaemonFC | Apple doesn't really make computers. They make iTunes kiosks. In other words, toys for stupid people with too much money. The iThings are useless for general purpose computing, and the Macs are becoming more like that with every new version of OS X. | Apr 06 04:00 |

schestowitz__ | Yes but I would still stipulate that the state is the actual force ie people making the real threats against real education. For example say a school starts using Ubuntu for their primary OS. This may upset good ol' Bill and he may bribe (donate) a politician into drafting a law reversing this. It is the state that tells the teacher do this or be punished. Behind every decree of the state there is a gun. | Apr 06 19:43 |

DaemonFC | I decided to buy one of these. It's $100 up front, but then I can return my modem to Comcast and quit paying to rent it. | Apr 07 02:55 |
DaemonFC | Then my internet bill should be down to $20 a month. :) | Apr 07 02:55 |
DaemonFC | I've heard that Comcast won't give you a great deal on your internet package if you own your own equipment. | Apr 07 03:32 |
DaemonFC | So, I got the 12 months at $19.99 locked in, and then bought my own equipment. | Apr 07 03:32 |
DaemonFC | My AAA Sprint discount kicked in this month. It brought my bill down from $99 to $96. :) | Apr 07 03:54 |
DaemonFC | I've noticed lately, that Amazon says your order is over $35 and gets free super saver shipping, and then tried to default to "standard shipping" instead. | Apr 07 04:47 |
DaemonFC | In the case of my modem, the estimated delivery date with "standard shipping" was April 10. With super saver, the estimated delivery date is the 11th (my birthday!). | Apr 07 04:47 |
DaemonFC | So, 1 day sooner was going to cost an additional $9.65? Pass. | Apr 07 04:47 |
DaemonFC | They've tripped me up on that a couple of times before, where I was sure that I selected super saver, but my invoice billed me for standard. | Apr 07 04:47 |

DaemonFC | msb_: I'm finding that going organic on some things isn't that much more expensive. | Apr 07 06:26 |
DaemonFC | Bananas and coffee that are organic cost about the same as their non-organic counterparts. | Apr 07 06:26 |

DaemonFC | I'm a bit nervous about going with a Netgear cable gateway. | Apr 07 06:36 |
DaemonFC | I had one of their ADSL gateways and it was a bit flaky. | Apr 07 06:36 |
DaemonFC | But, they're soooooooo much cheaper than Motorola... | Apr 07 06:37 |
DaemonFC | We're talking $99 vs $139. | Apr 07 06:37 |

DaemonFC | Comcast says that this is an approved device that supports DOCSIS 3 and ipv6 on their network, and it has had level 1 certification. | Apr 07 06:38 |
msb_ | I was having cable outages with comcrap until I insisted they give me a DOCSIS 3 modem. | Apr 07 06:38 |
DaemonFC | What really pissed me off is that they pushed an unwanted firmware update to my rented gateway that lets other Comcast customers log in without my permission and use my cable internet connection. | Apr 07 06:38 |
DaemonFC | Yeah, I was the one that recommended that. | Apr 07 06:39 |
DaemonFC | :) | Apr 07 06:39 |
msb_ | Thanks! | Apr 07 06:39 |
DaemonFC | DOCSIS 3 is much better. Even if your service level is the cheapest they have and is supported by DOCSIS 2.... | Apr 07 06:39 |
msb_ | How can others log in if they | Apr 07 06:39 |
msb_ | 're not connected to it. | Apr 07 06:39 |
msb_ | ? | Apr 07 06:39 |
DaemonFC | It creates a second wifi network called "COMCAST-GUEST". | Apr 07 06:40 |
DaemonFC | and it lets anyone log in with their comcast email address and password and be a parasite on your connection. | Apr 07 06:40 |
DaemonFC | You're still only provisioned whatever speed level you subscribe to, but it lets them leech off of it. | Apr 07 06:41 |
msb_ | Oh. Mine doesn't have wifi and I don't use it anyhow. | Apr 07 06:41 |
DaemonFC | So everything you're doing could slow to a halt. | Apr 07 06:41 |
DaemonFC | Yeah, if it's just a modem, they can't do that. | Apr 07 06:41 |
DaemonFC | They also can't do that if you own your equipment. | Apr 07 06:41 |
msb_ | I just connect with ethernet. | Apr 07 06:41 |
DaemonFC | I can't do that. | Apr 07 06:42 |
DaemonFC | Well, I do with my desktop PC. | Apr 07 06:42 |
msb_ | Some people think the wifi RF is intense enough to be dangerous -- cancer, etc. | Apr 07 06:42 |
DaemonFC | It isn't possible to do that with my phone and it wouldn't be practical to do that with a laptop. | Apr 07 06:42 |
DaemonFC | I don't believe that it is. | Apr 07 06:42 |
DaemonFC | One thing that I did notice about wifi routers is that the default settings tend to degrade performance. | Apr 07 06:43 |
DaemonFC | If you don't have any wireless b or g devices, you should set it to "n" only. | Apr 07 06:43 |
DaemonFC | That also gives you a small bit of extra security. Since nothing you use is wireless b or g, that would mean that anyone attempting to connect using those is not you. | Apr 07 06:44 |
DaemonFC | :) | Apr 07 06:44 |
msb_ | Did you ever call them up and tell them it wouldn't let you download a Linux distro on bittorrent? | Apr 07 06:44 |
DaemonFC | Oh, it does. | Apr 07 06:44 |
DaemonFC | They don't seem to degrade bittorrent traffic anymore. | Apr 07 06:44 |
msb_ | Oh, good! | Apr 07 06:45 |
DaemonFC | They plan to start enforcing their caps at some point though. | Apr 07 06:45 |
DaemonFC | At that point, there won't be much of a point in subscribing to their 25 or 50 Mbps tiers. | Apr 07 06:45 |
msb_ | The magic word is YIFY! | Apr 07 06:45 |
DaemonFC | It jsut means you'll reach your cap faster and start getting hammered with overage fees. | Apr 07 06:45 |
DaemonFC | Their Comcast 100 tier will double your cap to 600 GB before you start paying more. | Apr 07 06:46 |
DaemonFC | Everything lower than that gets 300 or maybe 350, they haven't decided yet. | Apr 07 06:46 |
DaemonFC | They seem to be experimenting in different markets. | Apr 07 06:46 |
DaemonFC | msb_: Is you use less than 5 GB, they'll knock $5 a month off your internet bill. :P | Apr 07 06:47 |
msb_ | You can get movies and TV in x264 at half the size of xvids. | Apr 07 06:47 |
DaemonFC | If you own your modem and keep getting those $19.99 a month promos, that means you could get cable internet for $14.99 a month. | Apr 07 06:47 |
DaemonFC | I'd never trade 300 GB for 5 GB to save $5. | Apr 07 06:47 |
DaemonFC | That would just be stupid. | Apr 07 06:47 |
DaemonFC | yeah, VP9 and x265 (is that what they call it?) say they'll halve it again. | Apr 07 06:48 |
DaemonFC | Full HD movie rips could be as small as 400-500 MB. | Apr 07 06:48 |
msb_ | 720p is plenty for me. | Apr 07 06:49 |
msb_ | I just watch on my computer screen. | Apr 07 06:49 |
DaemonFC | I got rid of flash and I use and ad blocking plugin to keep from downloading that crap. | Apr 07 06:49 |
msb_ | Those are about 700MB. | Apr 07 06:49 |
DaemonFC | If you do a lot of web browsing, then over the course of the month, ads and tacking scripts and all that crap could be as much as 2-3 GB. | Apr 07 06:49 |
msb_ | Not enough to worry about. And there's a lot of good stuff on Youtube, which can now be downloaded great with youtube-dl. | Apr 07 06:50 |
DaemonFC | Lots of sites are starting to use paywalls. That doesn't affect me too often thanks to Google's cache and setting Firefox to not allow cookies on those sites and to dump all cookies at the end of a session. | Apr 07 06:50 |
DaemonFC | 90% of those paywalls are just a cookie that records how many articles you've looked at and tells you to pay up eventually. | Apr 07 06:51 |
msb_ | Very few alternative news sites insist on being paid. | Apr 07 06:53 |
msb_ | Anyhow, if you select x264 files, 480p or 720p, 10GB/day is more than enough. | Apr 07 06:55 |
*freedomrun (~freedomru@unaffiliated/freedomrun) has joined #techrights | Apr 07 06:55 | |
msb_ | For me, at least. There are only about 10 TV shows that I watch. | Apr 07 06:56 |
msb_ | Suits, Good Wife, Elementary, Grey's Anatomy... | Apr 07 06:58 |
msb_ | Although the last ep of GA had them all getting a severe flu and none of them even mentioned Vitamin C. Apparently it's censored, like 9/11 truth. | Apr 07 06:59 |
msb_ | I record the Cartoon Network Adult Swim anime's from actual cable TV with a TV card. My old 'puter can convert NTSC to xvid in realtime -- barely. | Apr 07 07:02 |
msb_ | I like the cat character in Space Dandy. | Apr 07 07:05 |
DaemonFC | Between the deal I worked out with Comcast and getting rid of their modem, my bill will go down from $62.51 a month to $21.39 a month. | Apr 07 07:16 |
DaemonFC | That's with taxes. | Apr 07 07:16 |
DaemonFC | I think I can be patient and deal with 3 Mbps... | Apr 07 07:17 |
DaemonFC | I've made do with less. | Apr 07 07:17 |
DaemonFC | Up until 2006, I was still using 768k DSL. | Apr 07 07:17 |
DaemonFC | msb_: I don't know if this gateway is on sale or what. | Apr 07 07:18 |

DaemonFC | I'd be REAL careful about buying anything on ebay that says "XFINITY" (Comcast) on it. | Apr 07 07:24 |
DaemonFC | When you don't return their equipment, they bill you an outrageous amount for it, and then you technically own it. | Apr 07 07:25 |
DaemonFC | It won't work on anyone else's cable network though. | Apr 07 07:25 |
DaemonFC | They only used to charge $150, but it's like $500 now. | Apr 07 07:26 |
msb_ | DaemonFC: You are an amazing bargain hunter! | Apr 07 07:26 |
DaemonFC | They noticed that people were calling them up and canceling, paying the fee for not returning the modem, and then subscribing to Comcast again immediately. | Apr 07 07:26 |
DaemonFC | :) | Apr 07 07:26 |
DaemonFC | Then they owned the modem and never had to make another rental payment on it. | Apr 07 07:27 |
DaemonFC | msb_: I was going to buy that Chromebook at Best Buy, and then it turned out that only Windows XP laptops could be traded in. | Apr 07 07:27 |
DaemonFC | I have several old desktops in the closet that run XP, so I planned to pick the crappiest one and turn it in for the store credit. | Apr 07 07:27 |
DaemonFC | :( | Apr 07 07:27 |
msb_ | Can you run real Linux on a chromebook? | Apr 07 07:28 |
DaemonFC | You sure can. :) | Apr 07 07:28 |
DaemonFC | There are instructions on linux.com for installing Ubuntu to the SSD of an Acer C720 and wiping out Chrome OS. | Apr 07 07:29 |
DaemonFC | But you probably don't want to do that. | Apr 07 07:29 |
DaemonFC | What you *could* do is use external storage. | Apr 07 07:29 |
DaemonFC | Get a 64 or 128 GB USB 3.0 flash drive and make a Fedora image on it with persistent storage. | Apr 07 07:30 |
DaemonFC | Then plug it into the Chromebook's USB 3.0 port. | Apr 07 07:30 |
DaemonFC | Then you could switch between Fedora and Chrome OS by rebooting. | Apr 07 07:30 |
DaemonFC | msb_: You don't want to get the Samsung Chromebook with the arm processor in it if you want to run a regular GNU/Linux distribution. | Apr 07 07:31 |
DaemonFC | There's an unofficial Fedora image for the Samsung Chromebook, but it hasn't been updated since Fedora 18 iirc. | Apr 07 07:31 |
DaemonFC | 2 seconds ago | Apr 07 07:36 |
DaemonFC | No. Technically, Windows XP won't become "less secure" than it was before when it goes out of support. All of the security problems that will be discovered after April 8th were there before April 8th. Many of them will have been there since 2001, or even before that (since many Windows vulnerabilities go back well into the 1990s). | Apr 07 07:36 |
DaemonFC | Tavis Ormandy found a problem with the NTVDM (NT Virtual DOS Machine) that dated back to the original Windows NT from 1993, which was still present in Windows 7. He privately informed Microsoft of it. Months passed, and they still hadn't fixed it, so he publicly reported it along with demonstration exploit code. Only then did Microsoft fix it. Then they said that HE was the one being irresponsible. | Apr 07 07:36 |
DaemonFC | I find it hysterical that people suddenly think that Windows XP is too dangerous to use. It was always too dangerous to use. 13 years and 5,000+ security patches later, and it's STILL dangerous. | Apr 07 07:36 |
DaemonFC | What does that say about how bad the original XP was? | Apr 07 07:36 |
msb_ | It probably has fluoride in it to rot your brain. | Apr 07 07:39 |
msb_ | Virtual software fluoride. | Apr 07 07:39 |
msb_ | DaemonFC: Actually it does. Fluoridated water destroys the pineal gland, which otherwise produces dimethyltryptamine, a psychedelic. Thanks to the US govt, everyone in this country has their pineal gland destroyed, so they live in a reality that's much less fun. | Apr 07 07:45 |
msb_ | DaemonFC: Likewise, every version of MS Windows lacks the software freedom and the 20 desktops you can get with Linux, so the MS computer experience is also very limited, and people don't know any better. | Apr 07 07:46 |
msb_ | DaemonFC: MS and fluoride are both techniques of mind-control, which enable the richest 1% to grab 99% of the wealth, without the other 99% of the population trying to do anything about it. | Apr 07 07:49 |
msb_ | Good movie -- Contagion 2011 - brain examination: The sulci are obliterated. Let's look at the base. Oh my god. You want me to take a sample? I want you to move away from the table. Should I call someone? Call everyone. | Apr 07 08:15 |

cubezzz | it's a slimline :) | Apr 07 14:20 |
abeNd-org | im at the point though where i am a hardware snob even for donations, if it isnt core2duo & capable of 8gb ram, i dont want to have to bother with it. | Apr 07 14:21 |
cubezzz | if someone donated you a microvax you'd turn it down? :) | Apr 07 14:21 |
abeNd-org | lets just say most of the stuff individuals try to donate are broken bubble jet printers & stuff that would make the gx110 look new, a microvax isnt going to come down the line | Apr 07 14:23 |
cubezzz | ah well | Apr 07 14:23 |
abeNd-org | now customers of mine getting rid of old hardware however are more than happy to donate to the rural libraries around ere | Apr 07 14:23 |
abeNd-org | ^here | Apr 07 14:23 |
cubezzz | I wouldn't turn down a working 486 | Apr 07 14:24 |
cubezzz | I should really fix that old IBM | Apr 07 14:24 |
cubezzz | it's not high on the priority list though :) | Apr 07 14:25 |
abeNd-org | yea, but im also concerned about standardized parts across the "fleet" that i support probono | Apr 07 14:25 |
abeNd-org | if everything is a 755, which is pretty much is right now, then that makes my life easier | Apr 07 14:26 |
abeNd-org | only thing i wish i could get is someone to donate a boatload of 64gb SSD :P extend the life of those 755 even further | Apr 07 14:26 |
cubezzz | I like the slot 1 era, I got a bunch of those | Apr 07 14:26 |
MinceR | cubezzz: i can | Apr 07 14:29 |
abeNd-org | if i get old stuff ill ship it to you, if you pay for shipping :P | Apr 07 14:29 |
cubezzz | abeNd-org, where are you? | Apr 07 14:29 |

abeNd-org | hah that will be 'spensive shipping | Apr 07 14:32 |
cubezzz | let me know if you get a c64 though :) | Apr 07 14:32 |
cubezzz | actually you could make a few $$$ on ebay with those | Apr 07 14:34 |
abeNd-org | yea, ive got a few of those 755 with only 1gb ram, i need to sell some stuff to make up the $ to outfit them with 8gb ram | Apr 07 14:34 |

Sosumi | lulz | Apr 07 15:02 |
msb_ | Smartphones and tablets are destroying civilization. The formerly excellent zap2it.com TV schedule listing has now been trashed and de-featured so it will fit into a postage stamp sized screen. God effing damn them! | Apr 07 15:07 |
Sosumi | how is 5 inches post stamp size | Apr 07 15:08 |
Sosumi | msb_ logic | Apr 07 15:08 |
*Sosumi shrugs | Apr 07 15:08 | |
msb_ | Hyperbole. It's still much too small to display a useful amount of information. | Apr 07 15:09 |
Sosumi | in between the pros and cons of portability, 5 inches is fine | Apr 07 15:10 |
Sosumi | just swipe down | Apr 07 15:10 |
msb_ | Any time anyone mentions "improving the user experience" it meanw they are going to s--t all over you. | Apr 07 15:10 |
msb_ | To hell with that. I want to see 6 hours of tv listings, not 3. I want to see 5 days x 24 hours of listings for any particular channel. I want to see the GD year of release of movies!!! They've trashed all that. | Apr 07 15:11 |
MinceR | my phone has a 1280x720 5.5" display | Apr 07 15:13 |
msb_ | I don't want to have to look through a effing keyhole at what was formerly a large 2-D listing, just because some people have tiny screens. | Apr 07 15:13 |
MinceR | it fits more information than some laptops. | Apr 07 15:13 |
msb_ | Good for you. I hope it came with a microscope. | Apr 07 15:13 |
MinceR | it didn't, but my eyes work. | Apr 07 15:13 |
MinceR | my tablet has a 1920x1200 7" display, that's a higher resolution than most monitors | Apr 07 15:13 |
Sosumi | I have a bottle of water that says "Pedras Salgadas" | Apr 07 15:14 |
Sosumi | now try to be that up | Apr 07 15:14 |
Sosumi | *beat | Apr 07 15:14 |
abeNd-org | they dont have a dropdown to select how much to show? | Apr 07 15:14 |
msb_ | I have a 1920x1080 27" screen. | Apr 07 15:14 |
msb_ | No. | Apr 07 15:15 |
MinceR | don't blame smartphones and tablets for people sucking at web design and web programming :> | Apr 07 15:15 |
msb_ | It used to be part of user preferences, which now mostly don't exist. | Apr 07 15:15 |
MinceR | crApple is making lack of configurability chic. | Apr 07 15:15 |
msb_ | I blame corps for catering to the lowest most stupid audience. | Apr 07 15:16 |
msb_ | The KDE4 devs did that too. | Apr 07 15:16 |

msb_ | I would not trust any system that Google controls. | Apr 07 15:18 |
MinceR | chromebooks can be taken out of google control, afaik | Apr 07 15:19 |
MinceR | not sure how well supplied they are with gpu drivers for x, though | Apr 07 15:19 |
msb_ | Google used to have all Usenet text posts as far back as 1980, searchable. Then they threw it away. | Apr 07 15:19 |
msb_ | There's no way to talk to them anymore, either. Google is now just another corporate pig. | Apr 07 15:20 |
MinceR | indeed. | Apr 07 15:21 |
MinceR | at least their tech tends to suck somewhat less | Apr 07 15:21 |
MinceR | and tends to be a little more open | Apr 07 15:21 |
msb_ | BTW, when did laptops become "notebooks"? | Apr 07 15:21 |
msb_ | If I got one, it would have a 17" screen and a huge hard drive. | Apr 07 15:22 |
MinceR | when marketers decided it was not a good idea to suggest that people use them in their lap, i guess | Apr 07 15:22 |
MinceR | my first two laptops were huge, heavy, with 17" screens | Apr 07 15:22 |
MinceR | i'm still using my ThinkPad W700 at home. | Apr 07 15:22 |
Sosumi | by that definition then, a macbook air should only be used in the "air" | Apr 07 15:23 |
Sosumi | hopefully, it'll float too | Apr 07 15:23 |
msb_ | Well, you have to sit it down somewhere in order to type on it, so the only problem with being heavy is carrying it. | Apr 07 15:23 |
msb_ | Of course floating *would* be nice! | Apr 07 15:24 |
Sosumi | I bet there's an app for that | Apr 07 15:24 |
Sosumi | :) | Apr 07 15:24 |
msb_ | When did programs become "apps" ? | Apr 07 15:25 |
Sosumi | when crapple started calling them that | Apr 07 15:25 |
msb_ | Probably they don't want to remind people about how programmable *people* are! | Apr 07 15:25 |
msb_ | The poisoned Apple. | Apr 07 15:26 |
Sosumi | no, they just want ppl to think that their products are single purposed machines | Apr 07 15:26 |
Sosumi | aka, can't even properly multitask | Apr 07 15:26 |
MinceR | 162313 < Sosumi> by that definition then, a macbook air should only be used in the "air" | Apr 07 15:26 |
MinceR | no, but it's full of hot air | Apr 07 15:27 |
Sosumi | how so? facebook can't make a crapbook overheat | Apr 07 15:27 |
MinceR | crApple hype | Apr 07 15:28 |
msb_ | F---book -- there's another load of garbage contaminating the world. | Apr 07 15:28 |
MinceR | also, others probably called applications "apps" well before crApple did | Apr 07 15:28 |
msb_ | Whoever renamed directories as "folders" should be strangled. | Apr 07 15:29 |
msb_ | I'm in a bad mood today. Now it will be twice as much work to find out what's on TV. | Apr 07 15:30 |

DaemonFC | Even the low end hardware has gotten pretty good these days. | Apr 07 15:43 |

cubezzz | msb_, you can specify the time though | Apr 07 15:53 |
msb_ | And you can see the previous day, which you can no longer do with zap2it. | Apr 07 15:54 |

DaemonFC | hmmm | Apr 07 22:31 |
DaemonFC | It seems that Google Chromebooks have this stupid thing called Google Cloud Print. | Apr 07 22:31 |
DaemonFC | Basically it means that anything you print gets sent to Google and then re-routed to your printer, which means you need to buy a new printer. | Apr 07 22:32 |
msb_ | Why? | Apr 07 22:39 |
msb_ | DaemonFC: Does the cloud get the printer all wet? | Apr 07 22:40 |
MinceR | kinky | Apr 07 22:41 |
msb_ | 8^) | Apr 07 22:42 |
DaemonFC | They say it's so they don't have to ship support for a bunch of printers. | Apr 07 22:46 |
MinceR | but actually it's so that the nsa can have a good look at everything you print | Apr 07 22:47 |
MinceR | also, there are printers where you can submit a job on a web interface, so it isn't really needed. | Apr 07 22:47 |
DaemonFC | Right. There's no GOOD reason why they can't just connect to the printer some other way. | Apr 07 23:03 |
DaemonFC | It's spyware. | Apr 07 23:03 |
DaemonFC | MinceR: They have a list of ways you can use it. | Apr 07 23:05 |
DaemonFC | You can use a regular printer by connecting it to a Windows PC or a Mac and installing some special software from Google. | Apr 07 23:05 |
DaemonFC | You can buy a new printer that Google can send print jobs to. | Apr 07 23:05 |
DaemonFC | Or you can submit it as a print job for FedEx and get a code to enter that prints the pages out when you get there. | Apr 07 23:06 |
MinceR | gn | Apr 07 23:19 |

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.google.com | Google - Cloud Print [ http://ur1.ca/h12hd ] | Apr 07 23:28 | |
DaemonFC | That sees like a big pain in the ass just to print an occasional page. | Apr 07 23:28 |
DaemonFC | seems | Apr 07 23:29 |
DaemonFC | Printers are just evil in general. | Apr 07 23:31 |
DaemonFC | HP and others even go so far as to code their printer cartridges with an expiration date. | Apr 07 23:31 |
DaemonFC | Starting the day you put the cartridge in the printer, it starts a countdown, so that the damned thing will eventually refuse to print, even if you have ink left. | Apr 07 23:32 |
DaemonFC | I hate printers so much that I just go to the library and use one of their computers when I need a copy of something. | Apr 07 23:34 |
DaemonFC | It's much cheaper to pay them 20 cents a page than it is to buy a printer and play the ink cartridge games | Apr 07 23:34 |

DaemonFC | I'm digging through the refurb laptops on the Acer outlet storefront. | Apr 08 00:02 |
DaemonFC | That $150 C720 is so tempting. | Apr 08 00:03 |
DaemonFC | Where else do you get a laptop that does anything for $150? :) | Apr 08 00:03 |
DaemonFC | Google says that once a Chromebook has had the first user sign in, that no further users are eligible for any of the "goodies" though. | Apr 08 00:03 |
DaemonFC | including two years of free 100 GB Google Drive | Apr 08 00:04 |
DaemonFC | So, that wipes out at least $50 in value right off the bat. | Apr 08 00:04 |
DaemonFC | A 15 GB Google Drive is free though. I already have one because I use Android. | Apr 08 00:04 |
DaemonFC | If you don't do much with it except uploading photos and stuff, 15 GB should be sufficient. | Apr 08 00:07 |
DaemonFC | Plus, you can always use a thumb drive. | Apr 08 00:07 |

msb_ | cubezzz: By turning off popup blocking and AdBlockPlus I was able to see Season/Episode numbers in the aol tv schedule. But it runs audiovisual flash ads when I click on a show to see that, which could crash my computer. Also it shows only 2.5hours of schedule, and the time selector doesn't work -- ask for 10PM and I get 10AM. Also no movie year, nor original series ep broadcast date. No better than zap2it, which now has season/ep | Apr 08 05:33 |
msb_ | numbers again. | Apr 08 05:33 |
msb_ | Basically, it's the shits. | Apr 08 05:34 |
msb_ | I will NOT have a website blasting me with ads! Ads are victimization by corporate psychopaths. | Apr 08 05:35 |

cubezzz | eh? how could it crash your computer? | Apr 08 07:10 |
cubezzz | well, I'll see what else I can find | Apr 08 07:11 |
MinceR | i suppose by triggering video driver bugs | Apr 08 07:22 |

cubezzz | there's even one for KDE | Apr 08 08:06 |
cubezzz | I'm compiling it now to check it out | Apr 08 08:07 |
msb_ | Might also have been due to cpu overheating before I cleaned its heatsink fins. | Apr 08 08:07 |
cubezzz | bah, the kde project seems abandoned | Apr 08 08:09 |
msb_ | Have to go do something now, back in 15 min. or so. Thanks for your help! I'll try the sites you've suggested when I get back. | Apr 08 08:09 |

cubezzz | so you would just put in your zip code and us I reckon | Apr 08 08:50 |
cubezzz | then set up maxemum to point to your xmltv.xml file | Apr 08 08:50 |

TechrightsBot-tr | Hello World! I'm TechrightsBot-tr running phIRCe v0.75 | Apr 08 11:31 |
schestowitz_bed2 | [23:34] <DaemonFC> I hate printers so much that I just go to the library and use one of their computers when I need a copy of something. | Apr 08 11:36 |
schestowitz_bed2 | [23:34] <DaemonFC> It's much cheaper to pay them 20 cents a page than it is to buy a printer and play the ink cartridge games | Apr 08 11:36 |
schestowitz_bed2 | I'm the saem | Apr 08 11:36 |
schestowitz_bed2 | in a photo development shop | Apr 08 11:36 |
schestowitz_bed2 | they also make better prints | Apr 08 11:36 |
schestowitz_bed2 | the idea of printing from home is the anti-sharing mentality | Apr 08 11:37 |
schestowitz_bed2 | where rather than a family sharing a landline each carries a tracking device | Apr 08 11:37 |
schestowitz_bed2 | and people buy several of each thing instead of sharing | Apr 08 11:37 |

DaemonFC | schestowitz_bed2: They have family plans. A smartphone is a computer. You don't really want to share it with people. | Apr 08 11:47 |
DaemonFC | I do like that Android Beam. | Apr 08 11:47 |
DaemonFC | Where you can beam files to other Android phones. | Apr 08 11:47 |
DaemonFC | schestowitz_bed2: I'll bet that Google made some kind of deal with HP. | Apr 08 11:52 |
DaemonFC | They make Chromebooks and then Google sabotages the OS to where it can't run a printer connected over USB. | Apr 08 11:52 |
DaemonFC | suddenly you need a "google cloud print" printer that sends all your documents to the NSA | Apr 08 11:53 |
DaemonFC | schestowitz_bed2: I did end up snagging that $149.99 refurbished C720. | Apr 08 11:54 |
DaemonFC | I was hoping to get one for $99 at Best Buy in exchange for one of my XP boat anchors that's been in the bedroom closet for years. | Apr 08 11:54 |
DaemonFC | But the real deal ended up being honored only if you trade in a laptop. | Apr 08 11:55 |
schestowitz_bed2 | [13:00] <DaemonFC> schestowitz__: That's why you don't talk about who you voted for at work. | Apr 08 11:56 |

MinceR | i thought it was about funding, not voting | Apr 08 11:57 |
schestowitz__ | both count | Apr 08 11:58 |
schestowitz__ | in a workplace | Apr 08 11:58 |
DaemonFC | I changed my Amazon Smile charity to the Electronic Frontier Foundation. | Apr 08 11:58 |
schestowitz__ | a superior might not promote someone for voting far right | Apr 08 11:58 |
schestowitz__ | or even Republican, which in the US is "acceptable" far right | Apr 08 11:58 |

schestowitz__ | yuo might be on a "list" for that | Apr 08 11:59 |
schestowitz__ | one day you put a sticker on your laptop and the next day you're accused of working for FSB in Moscow | Apr 08 11:59 |
MinceR | i tend to peel stickers off my laptops | Apr 08 12:00 |
MinceR | especially the winblows ads | Apr 08 12:00 |
MinceR | also helps reduce the bazaar look :> | Apr 08 12:01 |
schestowitz__ | I did that too | Apr 08 12:01 |
schestowitz__ | Some don't peel off so well | Apr 08 12:01 |
cubezzz | haha, I figure you did that MinceR :) | Apr 08 12:01 |
MinceR | some stickers i would like to retain tend to peel off their own | Apr 08 12:02 |
MinceR | the nSeries sticker on my dHell became an empty silvery rectangle after a while | Apr 08 12:03 |
schestowitz__ | meh | Apr 08 12:03 |
schestowitz__ | mine has warranty sticker | Apr 08 12:03 |
MinceR | the GNU or FSF (i can't remember which) sticker i replaced it with also became a silvery circle | Apr 08 12:03 |
schestowitz__ | covering the remnants of a Windows Vistas sticker that did not peel off so well | Apr 08 12:03 |
schestowitz__ | Because, you know, it's Vista | Apr 08 12:03 |
MinceR | the ThinkPad logo on the wrist pad of my tablet PC became a hollow shape | Apr 08 12:03 |
schestowitz__ | nothing works well | Apr 08 12:03 |
MinceR | :> | Apr 08 12:03 |
MinceR | my sweat probably dissolves the solvents | Apr 08 12:04 |
cubezzz | at least they don't stamp MICROSOFT into the laptop's molecular structure :) | Apr 08 12:04 |
MinceR | yet | Apr 08 12:04 |
schestowitz__ | There is also ATI sticker (AMD) and Intel on it | Apr 08 12:04 |
schestowitz__ | I leave the Intel one on because it might not peel off well | Apr 08 12:04 |
*|Omega| is now known as Omega | Apr 08 12:04 | |
schestowitz__ | and it look a bit fancy with hologramic effect | Apr 08 12:04 |
MinceR | i don't mind the intel stickers | Apr 08 12:04 |
schestowitz__ | It's like "smoking kills" sticker | Apr 08 12:04 |
schestowitz__ | "centrino Inside" | Apr 08 12:05 |
DaemonFC | MinceR: Some of those Chromebooks are covered in stickers. | Apr 08 12:05 |
schestowitz__ | [12:04] <MinceR> my sweat probably dissolves the solvents | Apr 08 12:05 |
DaemonFC | "OMG, THIS HAS WIRELESS N ZOMG!!!!" | Apr 08 12:05 |
schestowitz__ | Is Absurdistan ever getting so warm? | Apr 08 12:05 |
DaemonFC | "ZOMG INTEL INSIDE!!!!" | Apr 08 12:05 |
schestowitz__ | Yeah | Apr 08 12:05 |
cubezzz | avoiding Intel is tough | Apr 08 12:06 |
DaemonFC | I think that the one I bought only has the Intel sticker. | Apr 08 12:06 |
MinceR | my EeePC had lots of stickers | Apr 08 12:06 |
schestowitz__ | Did Google trademark "Chrome"? | Apr 08 12:06 |
MinceR | :> | Apr 08 12:06 |
DaemonFC | It has a Haswell Celeron. | Apr 08 12:06 |
schestowitz__ | Or did it strugglew like ti does with "Glass"? | Apr 08 12:06 |
schestowitz__ | MS got "Windows", but Google can't get "Glass" | Apr 08 12:06 |
MinceR | schestowitz__: the unhabitable concrete box i live in has no air conditioning | Apr 08 12:06 |
DaemonFC | schestowitz__: I think that the C720 is the best deal out there right now, especially refurbished. | Apr 08 12:06 |
MinceR | or proper insulation | Apr 08 12:07 |
DaemonFC | Where else are you going to get a laptop that does all that for $150? | Apr 08 12:07 |
cubezzz | it's still cold here | Apr 08 12:07 |
cubezzz | 1 C | Apr 08 12:07 |
DaemonFC | As far as I know, there aren't any $150 Windows laptops out there at all. | Apr 08 12:07 |
MinceR | eventually my sweat took off the intel stickers too, iirc | Apr 08 12:07 |
MinceR | but those didn't come apart | Apr 08 12:07 |
DaemonFC | MinceR: They could probably get the price down some more if they went with AMD. | Apr 08 12:09 |
DaemonFC | for the Chromebooks | Apr 08 12:09 |
DaemonFC | The fact that there's an Intel processor in there at all, even just a Celeron, probably raises the price $20-30. | Apr 08 12:09 |
DaemonFC | They could be selling these things brand new for $150 and making a profit with AMD processors. | Apr 08 12:10 |
DaemonFC | I deliberately stayed away from the Samsung Chromebook. | Apr 08 12:13 |
MinceR | my 'replace the laptop with an arm tablet' project failed | Apr 08 12:13 |
DaemonFC | It's more expensive, it's slower, and it has proprietary graphics drivers that aren't included in standard GNU/Linux distributions, so it's very hard to run anything other than Chrome OS on it. | Apr 08 12:13 |
DaemonFC | Yeah. | Apr 08 12:13 |
DaemonFC | MinceR: I tried that back in 2011 with an Archos G9. | Apr 08 12:14 |
DaemonFC | They're just not good enough. | Apr 08 12:14 |
MinceR | mainly because the android UI is not that keyboard-friendly and can't run x2x or synergy | Apr 08 12:14 |
MinceR | (it traps alt+tab and super+tab for the same thing, and i can't let them through to bVNC) | Apr 08 12:14 |
DaemonFC | MinceR: Swype works fine on phones. | Apr 08 12:14 |
MinceR | hacker's keyboard works fine on phones and tablets | Apr 08 12:15 |
MinceR | well, sometimes it gets a little sluggish | Apr 08 12:15 |
MinceR | also, i couldn't get the armhf qemu binaries to run for x86 or arm guests | Apr 08 12:16 |
MinceR | maybe i didn't have enough memory | Apr 08 12:16 |
MinceR | a dualboot-capable rom would solve the UI problems and free up memory for GNU | Apr 08 12:18 |
MinceR | eventually | Apr 08 12:18 |

schestowitz__ | I'd rank UK 3 | Apr 08 12:58 |

Sosumi | I can | Apr 10 10:47 |
Sosumi | HAVE you ever wondered what happened to Linux? Linux is the free software created through the open source development process that many technology enthusiasts had predicted would revolutionize the world of computing. | Apr 10 10:48 |
Sosumi | It may not be widely known, but Linux did revolutionize computing. If you own an Android phone or a Kindle e-reader, you are a Linux user. Linux is at the core of those popular devices and is found in a variety of other places, from the world’s most powerful supercomputers down to the tiny Raspberry Pi device that is a favorite among electronics hobbyists. | Apr 10 10:48 |
Sosumi | But Linux has had less success in personal computers. Fewer than 2 percent of desktop or laptop computers run it, according to a survey by Net Applications. That could be because for the bulk of Windows and Mac users, switching entirely to Linux probably does not make sense. But exploring Linux could still be worth the time for those looking for a proven, low-cost alternative to the two mainstream operating systems. | Apr 10 10:48 |
Sosumi | Installing Linux as the main operating system on a spare computer is one way to explore it. Some versions can also run live on a CD or DVD, but a more flexible choice may be to run it “virtually.” That way, it can run within Windows or Mac OS X and a variety of Linux versions can be installed. Programs like VirtualBox or VMware Fusion make this possible. | Apr 10 10:48 |
Sosumi | To do this, you will need to figure out a few things. Does your computer have a 32-bit or 64-bit processor? (Most newer ones are 64-bit, but Linux is available for either.) And you may need to enable your processor’s virtualization capabilities. If you become stuck, plenty of online tutorials are available to help. | Apr 10 10:48 |
Sosumi | There are many types of Linux. At their core, many are the same. But their interfaces and applications may differ, as well as the level of support from the open-source community. | Apr 10 10:48 |
Sosumi | Bodhi Linux is all about minimalism and performance. This makes it an option for older or “low-end” systems. The desktop setup, called Enlightenment, is frugal with resources while offering an eye-catching and straightforward experience. The desktop is free of clutter, the task bar is well organized and menus are easy to navigate. The other stated ideal of Bodhi is choice. While only a basic set of applications are installed by default, | Apr 10 10:48 |
Sosumi | users can download more from an AppCenter with free software organized in categories like office, education and multimedia. | Apr 10 10:48 |
Sosumi | Linux Mint offers a choice of desktop environments, including one called Cinnamon. A Mac or Windows user may find Cinnamon intuitive to navigate. There is a task bar along the bottom, with a menu button on the left that provides access to applications, system settings and folders. A number of useful programs can be installed by default, like LibreOffice, an Office-like software set; the Firefox browser; Adobe Flash for media like YouTube vi | Apr 10 10:48 |
Sosumi | deos; Thunderbird for mail; Pidgin for instant messaging; and GIMP for image editing. A built-in Software Manager provides a way to download and install many more applications. | Apr 10 10:48 |
Sosumi | Ubuntu is one of the more widely known versions of Linux and also one of the simplest to install. An installation program can replace an existing system or, in some cases, set Ubuntu to be an option when a computer starts up. The desktop environment, called Unity, has a tablet-like look. | Apr 10 10:48 |
Sosumi | Ubuntu comes with a collection of installed applications like Firefox and LibreOffice. It also has an online storage feature called Ubuntu One, with five gigabytes of free storage for photos, music and other files; access to these can be made from within Ubuntu or across devices like phones, Macs and PCs. If you are not a fan of the Unity layout, you can try Xubuntu and Lubuntu for a more familiar look. | Apr 10 10:48 |
Sosumi | Fedora was started in 2003 as an offshoot of Red Hat Linux. Still sponsored by Red Hat Inc., Fedora has gained a reputation as a testing ground for features that may end up in Red Hat Enterprise Linux. New editions are released frequently, and the current version, Fedora 20, is available with a choice of desktop environments. | Apr 10 10:48 |
Sosumi | The Gnome 3 environment, the default, departs from tradition: The user is presented with an empty desktop area and no task bar, dock or “Start” button. Clicking the Activities item in the top left corner will reveal applications and other options, including a search box for finding documents, contacts and other items. Fedora comes with installed programs like Firefox, Evolution mail, Rhythmbox for music and Shotwell for managing photos. | Apr 10 10:48 |
Sosumi | Elementary OS is another Linux flavor that aims for ease of use and performance — as well as smoothness. Elementary OS also includes a few Mac-like elements, like a dock at the bottom of the screen and “hot corners” for fast switching to different work spaces. | Apr 10 10:49 |
Sosumi | Of course numerous other types of Linux are available. For more technical versions, consider options like Slackware and Arch. Or, if you prefer baby steps, take a look at Zorin, which emulates aspects of Windows. And if you cannot find a type of Linux you like, you can always create your own with options like Linux From Scratch or Ubuntu Builder. | Apr 10 10:49 |
Sosumi | Linux is not for everyone. But if you feel constrained by Windows or Mac OS X, it can offer a way out. And if you enjoy choice and flexibility, you just may become hooked. | Apr 10 10:49 |

Sosumi | no arrows on the scrool bars, scrool bars way too tin, opengl still trailing behind, memory problems with 10.9 | Apr 10 11:03 |
Sosumi | lack of contrast | Apr 10 11:03 |
Sosumi | parts of the stitched leather HUI are still present from the 10.7 mistakes | Apr 10 11:03 |
Sosumi | *GUI | Apr 10 11:03 |
Sosumi | the multi display options with the top bar on the second screen was way, way overdue | Apr 10 11:04 |
Sosumi | multi display still fails with now programs not remembering their last position on the display when they were closed | Apr 10 11:05 |
Sosumi | xquartz, quartz and windowserver bugs are not getting fixes | Apr 10 11:05 |
Sosumi | despite some problems coming from the initial release of 10.9 | Apr 10 11:06 |
Sosumi | not some, ALL | Apr 10 11:06 |
Sosumi | and I also got some weird bugs with opencl | Apr 10 11:07 |
Sosumi | that I couldn't get replicate on fedora | Apr 10 11:08 |
Sosumi | *replicated | Apr 10 11:08 |
Sosumi | probably die to the precarious state of the drivers | Apr 10 11:08 |

schestowitz__ | So mostly UI things? | Apr 10 11:09 |
schestowitz__ | Not ignoring ODF and such strategic things? | Apr 10 11:09 |
schestowitz__ | Anyway, Linux got better since apple's 10.6 days | Apr 10 11:09 |
schestowitz__ | Visually we've come a long way | Apr 10 11:09 |
schestowitz__ | so choosing OSuX for themes ain't that rational | Apr 10 11:09 |
schestowitz__ | It would have been the only reason for me to ever choose OSuX | Apr 10 11:10 |
schestowitz__ | The same goes for hypeOS | Apr 10 11:10 |
schestowitz__ | Android has good appearance | Apr 10 11:10 |
Sosumi | choosing osx for the GUI is a huge mistake | Apr 10 11:10 |
schestowitz__ | so at skin-deep level Apple lost it | Apr 10 11:10 |
schestowitz__ | Sosumi: some people associate pretty with easy | Apr 10 11:10 |
Sosumi | and the internals of the OS are kind of a mess | Apr 10 11:10 |
Sosumi | for example in regards with opencl, you'll get a overall 20% difference between osx and linux/windows | Apr 10 11:11 |
Sosumi | simply due to the fact that apple is slow if ignorant to put there vendor specific features and/or kept drivers up to date | Apr 10 11:12 |

cubezzz | XP is irrelevant to me | Apr 10 15:19 |
cubezzz | no source code for device drivers... and it's bloated | Apr 10 15:19 |
cubezzz | I said that in 2001 :) | Apr 10 15:20 |
cubezzz | simple simple stuff like running old scanners under win2000 was a problem too | Apr 10 15:21 |
cubezzz | they (HP) didn't bother supporting win2000 for SCL scanners | Apr 10 15:21 |

cubezzz | one of my customers is in her late 80s | Apr 11 12:08 |
cubezzz | she plays solitaire on her computer :) | Apr 11 12:08 |
cubezzz | I definitely did not see computers that were 10 to 15 years old being used in the 90s | Apr 11 12:16 |
cubezzz | even older sometimes | Apr 11 12:17 |
cubezzz | that's something new | Apr 11 12:17 |
cubezzz | Thompson didn't stay on a PDP-7 for more than a couple of years | Apr 11 12:18 |
cubezzz | it was PDP-7 (1969) to PDP-11/20 (1971) | Apr 11 12:18 |
msb_ | Old things can still sometimes do useful work. | Apr 11 12:19 |
cubezzz | then PDP-11/40, then PDP-11/45 in quick succession | Apr 11 12:19 |
cubezzz | when P3 coppermine's came out that was a sweat spot | Apr 11 12:19 |
cubezzz | low heat, very reliable | Apr 11 12:20 |
msb_ | Didn't the 6809 chip emulate the PDP-11 architecture to some extent? Lots of registers... | Apr 11 12:20 |
cubezzz | the old PDP-11 series were slow, and ate a lot of power | Apr 11 12:20 |
msb_ | But no virtual memory. | Apr 11 12:20 |
cubezzz | hmmm, not really | Apr 11 12:21 |
cubezzz | 6809 was 8-bit with a few 16-bit features | Apr 11 12:21 |
msb_ | I'm working on a C program in which I have to allocate zillions of little strings. Should I just call malloc, or would it be a lot faster for me to allocate them myself out of a megabyte array? How fast is malloc? | Apr 11 12:22 |
msb_ | ...in Linux/gcc, of course. | Apr 11 12:23 |
cubezzz | PDP-11 to Motorola 68000 there's some influence | Apr 11 12:23 |
cubezzz | malloc is for big stuff | Apr 11 12:25 |
cubezzz | e.g. you need a big chunk of memory you use malloc | Apr 11 12:25 |
cubezzz | arrays for smaller stuff | Apr 11 12:25 |
cubezzz | I think just using the stack is faster than malloc | Apr 11 12:26 |
msb_ | Use the stack as a heap? (vague recollection) How? | Apr 11 12:27 |
cubezzz | no, I just mean using the stack is faster | Apr 11 12:27 |
msb_ | These strings are going to be pointed to from structs which will be pointed to by an array. | Apr 11 12:28 |
cubezzz | assuming you don't overflow the stack :) | Apr 11 12:28 |
msb_ | I'm reading that xml file into a zillions of structs with strings attached | Apr 11 12:29 |
msb_ | actually, arrays of strings. | Apr 11 12:29 |
msb_ | I should do it the simplest way. Maybe it will be fast enough. If not, then I'll make my own mini-super-malloc. | Apr 11 12:30 |
cubezzz | oh man, I remember I used to use EMS for big stuff | Apr 11 12:34 |
cubezzz | it was a dog's dinner | Apr 11 12:34 |

cubezzz | oiaohm, got a question for you | Apr 12 13:42 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: what is the question. | Apr 12 13:42 |
cubezzz | do you know what virtio_console does? | Apr 12 13:43 |
cubezzz | remember we were talking about the linux text console getting corrupted? | Apr 12 13:43 |
cubezzz | I'm still looking for ways to reset the text console | Apr 12 13:43 |
cubezzz | even when I shutdown X and restart it using a different driver (e.g. vesa) it still doesn't reset the text console | Apr 12 13:44 |
cubezzz | there's /sys/class/vtconsole/vtcon0/name | Apr 12 13:45 |
cubezzz | and it shows (S) VGA+ | Apr 12 13:45 |
cubezzz | for (S)ystem driver | Apr 12 13:45 |

oiaohm | Did you note the tty bit. | Apr 12 13:46 |
oiaohm | Its going to be interesting when the Linux console code is moved to userspace. | Apr 12 13:47 |
cubezzz | yeah I did what they said actually | Apr 12 13:47 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: tty is a use a seriel like console. | Apr 12 13:47 |
oiaohm | Not the normal framebuffer | Apr 12 13:47 |
oiaohm | Yes serial consoles reset differently. | Apr 12 13:48 |
cubezzz | but... what is console=hcv0 ? | Apr 12 13:48 |
cubezzz | I thought modprobe virtio_console would do something different but everything seems to be the same still | Apr 12 13:48 |
oiaohm | hcv0 is the device | Apr 12 13:48 |
cubezzz | yes, it's mentioned in virtio_console.c | Apr 12 13:50 |

oiaohm | cubezzz: when you start the virtual instance you have to declare how many virtio consoles you will have. | Apr 12 13:53 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: if you have declared none their will be none. | Apr 12 13:54 |
oiaohm | Basically virtio console is seperate to the vtcon0 | Apr 12 13:55 |
cubezzz | oh this seems to be related to virtualization | Apr 12 13:56 |
cubezzz | I did an experiment switching from radeon to vesa and back | Apr 12 13:57 |
cubezzz | it effected the text console, but didn't fix it | Apr 12 13:57 |
cubezzz | I guess it doesn't really matter too much, I can just ssh in if I'm X or the text console messes up | Apr 12 13:59 |
cubezzz | the text console never really stops or resets as far as I can see | Apr 12 13:59 |

oiaohm | cubezzz: I kinda suspected so. | Apr 12 14:06 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: dieing ATI radeon cards go down in the same creativity. | Apr 12 14:06 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: ati cards loss the means to draw text. | Apr 12 14:07 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: as their gpu starts dieing. | Apr 12 14:07 |
cubezzz | huh | Apr 12 14:07 |
cubezzz | it's been like this for years | Apr 12 14:08 |
cubezzz | about once or twice a month I lose the text console | Apr 12 14:08 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: and you have had your ATI card overheated once right. | Apr 12 14:09 |
cubezzz | I bought it used around 2010 I think | Apr 12 14:09 |
cubezzz | it's possible | Apr 12 14:09 |
cubezzz | is there any card you recommend that doesn't overheat that would work on this p3 AGP box? | Apr 12 14:10 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: I don't use second hand cards. | Apr 12 14:11 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: I don't know of any new AGP | Apr 12 14:11 |
cubezzz | ah | Apr 12 14:11 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: switching from x11 to console and back sometimes can go south with older cards as well. | Apr 12 14:12 |
oiaohm | but if that is the case if you have set up SAK that will cure a Linux kernel mess up. | Apr 12 14:12 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/SAK.txt | Apr 12 14:13 |
oiaohm | but if it the card itself SAK will not fix it. | Apr 12 14:13 |
oiaohm | Also if it the card ssh login in and attempt to trigger resets will not work either. | Apr 12 14:14 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: the issue you describe match ATI card that has been overheated. | Apr 12 14:14 |
cubezzz | ah I see | Apr 12 14:14 |
MinceR | geekings | Apr 12 14:14 |
cubezzz | well, that would explain it | Apr 12 14:14 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: mind you an old nvidia is more creative. | Apr 12 14:14 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: old nvidia that has been overheated starts reporting as a intel video card. | Apr 12 14:15 |
cubezzz | I have another old p3 that ran for over a year without messing up (switching from text to X and back) | Apr 12 14:16 |
cubezzz | but that was using the vesa driver on openbsd | Apr 12 14:16 |
cubezzz | never messed up the text console at least | Apr 12 14:16 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: if it dead ati it will also mess up running openbsd. | Apr 12 14:17 |
cubezzz | oiaohm, this not dead though | Apr 12 14:17 |
cubezzz | it's | Apr 12 14:17 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: half-dead | Apr 12 14:17 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: ati cards pretend to be alive | Apr 12 14:17 |
cubezzz | X always works... only the text console messes up | Apr 12 14:17 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: text console is allocated in the same ram in the video card all the time. | Apr 12 14:17 |
cubezzz | well I suppose it's not 100% functional | Apr 12 14:18 |
cubezzz | but I wouldn't say it's dead | Apr 12 14:18 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: there is a reason why I said dead. | Apr 12 14:19 |
msb_ | cubezzz: It's old and had a stroke. | Apr 12 14:19 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: text console goes first. X11 will follow. | Apr 12 14:19 |
oiaohm | msb_: had a stroke and due for another one. | Apr 12 14:19 |
msb_ | oiaohm: Thanks for the SAK page! I've known about Alt-SysReq, but not SAK. | Apr 12 14:20 |
oiaohm | msb_: alt-sysreq is very bad to use. | Apr 12 14:22 |
oiaohm | msb_: but when desperate you use anything. | Apr 12 14:22 |
cubezzz | oiaohm, I will check back in 10 years :) | Apr 12 14:23 |
cubezzz | if it still works in 10 years then you'll need to revise your opinion :) | Apr 12 14:23 |
msb_ | oiaohm: Any kind of rebooting is bad for me, because I have to set up the directories in about 60 konsoles/mcs in 20 virtual desktops. | Apr 12 14:24 |
cubezzz | I have video cards much older and they didn't mess up like that at all | Apr 12 14:25 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: notice I said ati its a particular geneartion of atis. | Apr 12 14:25 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: the 9xxx stuff and the 8xxx stuff. | Apr 12 14:25 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: all suffer from overheating stuffing the mmu on the video card. | Apr 12 14:26 |
cubezzz | ah well, you are probably right then | Apr 12 14:26 |
oiaohm | and once its started its progressive. | Apr 12 14:26 |
cubezzz | the only question is how long it will continue to work | Apr 12 14:26 |
msb_ | Eventually all you can get from it is, "I had jello today." | Apr 12 14:27 |
oiaohm | Normally before X11 stops working on them the bios screens become unreadable. | Apr 12 14:27 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: yes yes dieing ati gets wrong. | Apr 12 14:27 |
cubezzz | oiaohm, have you seen this: | Apr 12 14:28 |
cubezzz | http://www.maxhost.org/other/openbsd-icewm-with-mwm.png | Apr 12 14:28 |
cubezzz | it's a shame about ati | Apr 12 14:29 |
cubezzz | I used to think their engineering was really good | Apr 12 14:29 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: really there were. | Apr 12 14:29 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: just they got a little too close to limit in particular generations. | Apr 12 14:30 |
oiaohm | And if you never overheat them they would have lasted. | Apr 12 14:30 |
msb_ | oiaohm: Why is alt-sysreq bad to use? | Apr 12 14:30 |
cubezzz | I doubt I worked this card too hard | Apr 12 14:30 |
cubezzz | the previous owner might have | Apr 12 14:31 |
oiaohm | msb_: alt-sysreq fails to free up ram correctly when you trigger its sak. | Apr 12 14:31 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: that is the problem with ATI cards of those generations. | Apr 12 14:31 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: you need the full life history 1 overhead and they will die. | Apr 12 14:31 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: yes you now know why I don't touch second hand video cards. | Apr 12 14:32 |
cubezzz | oiaohm, I have ati vga wonders that still work :) | Apr 12 14:32 |
cubezzz | it's an interesting problem though, hard reset brings the text console back | Apr 12 14:33 |
cubezzz | heck, there's still some S100 video cards that still work | Apr 12 14:33 |
cubezzz | age is only one factor | Apr 12 14:34 |
msb_ | cubezzz: Have you tried "stty sane" or "Alt-SysReq R" | Apr 12 14:34 |
cubezzz | msb_, I've tried everything yeah | Apr 12 14:34 |
cubezzz | my guess would be some piece of video memory is getting over-written | Apr 12 14:35 |
cubezzz | sometimes I see text but it's very faint | Apr 12 14:35 |
cubezzz | sometimes it's vertical bars | Apr 12 14:35 |
cubezzz | sometimes the text console looks like a messed up X session :) | Apr 12 14:36 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: so far perfect description of dieing ati. | Apr 12 14:36 |
cubezzz | you would think resetting the text console would be easy to do | Apr 12 14:37 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: when an ati starts up it zeros it memory. | Apr 12 14:37 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: or thoese old ones did. | Apr 12 14:37 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: so unstable ram gets made functional for a little bit. | Apr 12 14:38 |
oiaohm | And that little bit is a very random value. | Apr 12 14:38 |
oiaohm | anything from 5 mins to 10 days. | Apr 12 14:38 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: thinking I leave computers running with text console only and no x11. | Apr 12 14:39 |
oiaohm | and running for months at a time. | Apr 12 14:39 |
oiaohm | sometimes years. | Apr 12 14:39 |
cubezzz | my utility power doesn't seem good enough for years :-/ | Apr 12 14:39 |
cubezzz | but I've done 380 days | Apr 12 14:39 |
cubezzz | I have this Dell GX110 with some intel video chipset | Apr 12 14:40 |
cubezzz | it doesn't mess up... one year running and still fine | Apr 12 14:40 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: my sad record is a lost server. | Apr 12 14:40 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: 6 years without rebooting. | Apr 12 14:40 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: kinda highly insecure by that point. | Apr 12 14:41 |
cubezzz | but... I assume that you weren't switching from text to X and back? | Apr 12 14:41 |
cubezzz | although I guess that shouldn't matter | Apr 12 14:41 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: it did not even have a video card. | Apr 12 14:41 |
oiaohm | serial console only. | Apr 12 14:42 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: I have some true server hardware. | Apr 12 14:42 |
cubezzz | any opinion on what would be the most durable video card? | Apr 12 14:42 |
msb_ | When DRAM chips first came out -- 1024bits IIRC -- mfrs talked about taking care that the epoxy encapsulant didn't contain any radioactives that could emit alpha particles and flip bits. | Apr 12 14:42 |
oiaohm | No video card and just a serial port would be the most durable. | Apr 12 14:43 |
oiaohm | msb_: there is no such thing as a materials that are 100 percent not radioactive. | Apr 12 14:43 |
cubezzz | what I really want is a computer that always works | Apr 12 14:44 |
msb_ | oiaohm: Sure, but they reduced it to a billion years MTBF or some such. | Apr 12 14:44 |
cubezzz | I have to say this old Dell has been pretty good | Apr 12 14:45 |
cubezzz | I'd settle for 100 years :) | Apr 12 14:45 |
msb_ | Yes, but with 1024bits/chip they needed a lot of chips per machine. | Apr 12 14:46 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: http://www.coreboot.org/Serial_console you are after solid. Motherboard that supports coreboot without onboard video card. Setup for serial remove video card. | Apr 12 14:47 |
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.coreboot.org | Serial console - coreboot | Apr 12 14:47 | |
oiaohm | cubezzz: Yes I do this horible to servers. | Apr 12 14:48 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: it also removes a lot of tampering. | Apr 12 14:48 |
cubezzz | yes, for a server that's fine | Apr 12 14:48 |
cubezzz | I'll definitely try that for the server | Apr 12 14:49 |
cubezzz | but I also write openmotif stuff | Apr 12 14:49 |
cubezzz | and run a few games | Apr 12 14:49 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: its the old theory the least number of parts to screw up the better. | Apr 12 14:50 |
cubezzz | yes, coreboot is good, I use it sometimes | Apr 12 14:50 |
msb_ | But then you're left with reading a good book. | Apr 12 14:50 |
oiaohm | msb_: there is another advantage to using serial | Apr 12 14:51 |
oiaohm | serial data loggers. | Apr 12 14:51 |
oiaohm | to create a log the OS cannot delete. | Apr 12 14:51 |
cubezzz | oiaohm, you know I think I even have an EGA wonder that still works | Apr 12 14:51 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: I have an old s3 trio around here somehere and an old tnt2 | Apr 12 14:52 |
msb_ | Save that old stuff. If we have a CME or GRB they may be the only computers left that work! | Apr 12 14:53 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: all the video cards I have since then I have killed. | Apr 12 14:53 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: 3d rendering for days at a time they did not like. | Apr 12 14:54 |
oiaohm | cubezzz I get about 4 to 5 years out a videocard. | Apr 12 14:55 |
msb_ | When computers become conscious that will be a crime. | Apr 12 14:56 |
cubezzz | yeah I have an old Jaton AGP card that's been running 24/7 in the server for a long time | Apr 12 14:58 |
cubezzz | at least 10 years | Apr 12 14:58 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: I guess no heavy lifting. | Apr 12 14:58 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: my video cards have to put up with blender and equal running flat stack. | Apr 12 14:58 |
cubezzz | I've never installed Linux with no graphics card | Apr 12 15:00 |
cubezzz | or to you install with a graphics card then remove it later? | Apr 12 15:01 |

msb_ | Hey, Linux wants to be free! It wants to sing and dance! | Apr 12 15:05 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: lot of motherboards with stock bios don't boot without video card. | Apr 12 15:06 |
cubezzz | I'm sure the computer would run cooler with no video card | Apr 12 15:06 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: correct | Apr 12 15:06 |
cubezzz | less ram usage too | Apr 12 15:06 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: kinda. | Apr 12 15:07 |

msb_ | I built a lightpen for the LINC computer. | Apr 12 19:48 |
cubezzz | IBM 1130 was relatively cheap | Apr 12 19:48 |
msb_ | How cheap? | Apr 12 19:50 |
cubezzz | oh about $41,000 if you wanted a disk drive | Apr 12 19:51 |
msb_ | And those dollars were probably worth at least 5 of the current ones. | Apr 12 19:52 |
cubezzz | IBM 2310, stores 512,000 words | Apr 12 19:52 |
cubezzz | PDP-8 would be cheaper | Apr 12 19:53 |
cubezzz | $18,000 | Apr 12 19:53 |
msb_ | Anyhow, now we have computers, Linux, *and* cannabis. | Apr 12 19:53 |
msb_ | People should be able to wake up and throw off the organized psychopaths. | Apr 12 19:54 |
cubezzz | if I could I'd time-warp back to the 60's for a day or so | Apr 12 19:54 |
cubezzz | an interesting era for computers | Apr 12 19:54 |
msb_ | Well, we can do everything on a PC now that a B5500 or B6600 could do back then, but a lot faster and a lot cheaper. | Apr 12 19:55 |
msb_ | Even though we have software pointers to the stack chain instead of hardware ones. | Apr 12 19:56 |
msb_ | ALGOL-60 was a great leap forward. I had an ALGOL60 license plate! | Apr 12 19:57 |
cubezzz | IBM 1130 could actually be put into the home without too much difficulty | Apr 12 19:57 |
MinceR | if the home was large enough? :> | Apr 12 19:57 |
cubezzz | you can get a 120V setup | Apr 12 19:57 |
cubezzz | it was about the size of a large desk | Apr 12 19:58 |

MinceR | the babe has aged a lot since that picture was taken :> | Apr 12 20:01 |
cubezzz | well if she was 20 in 1965... :) | Apr 12 20:01 |
cubezzz | next year will be the 50th anniversary of the 1130 | Apr 12 20:01 |

DaemonFC | I got my Keurig coffee maker in the mail today. | Mar 31 20:25 |
DaemonFC | They threw in some sampler packs of K-Cups, but when I'm out I'll just use the My K-Cup thing that came with it. | Mar 31 20:25 |

DaemonFC | http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2014/03/31/3421132/rich-heir-rapes-his-3-year-old-daughter-gets-no-jail-time-because-he-will-not-fare-well-in-prison/ | Mar 31 20:48 |
DaemonFC | Too rich to jail. This is a person who is unemployed, does nothing, is at least the third generation of do nothings that live on the du pont family trust fund, and lives 1,000 times better than most people who work. This is not a "job creator". | Mar 31 20:48 |
DaemonFC | The number of rich people who create no jobs and do no works is staggering. Of course, the focus is on people who buy a $2 ice cream with their SNAP card. | Mar 31 20:48 |
abeNd-org | heh, there are shitty people on top & on bottom | Mar 31 21:03 |
abeNd-org | at a stop & go, and some momma (very large mind you) with a screaming baby (not the screaming just to scream, but hungry screaming) on one arm... shes yelling at the clerk (most likely legal immigrant who is working his ass off for a better life) because she cant buy booze (big ass bottle of something in her other arm) | Mar 31 21:07 |
abeNd-org | *that* is why I have no respect for those at the bottom who *choose* to stay there | Mar 31 21:07 |
abeNd-org | course i have no respect for those at the top abusing the system either | Mar 31 21:07 |
abeNd-org | ^cant buy booze with her snap card | Mar 31 21:09 |
DaemonFC | There was a gas station near me that got busted a while back for ringing up cigarettes as groceries so that people could buy them with SNAP. | Mar 31 21:20 |
DaemonFC | They got a huge fine and permanently banned from participating in the SNAP program. | Mar 31 21:20 |
DaemonFC | The USDA doesn't have the resources to police all of the shops that are doing this. | Mar 31 21:20 |
DaemonFC | They just happened to get caught because they were one of the less than 1% of shops that got randomly audited through a sting operation. | Mar 31 21:21 |
DaemonFC | The Indiana excise police do something similar. | Mar 31 21:22 |
DaemonFC | They have a program where they pay high school kids like $100 to go into a store and try to buy cigarettes. | Mar 31 21:22 |
DaemonFC | If the store sells them to them, the excise police come in and fine the store. | Mar 31 21:23 |
DaemonFC | You only get the money if they sell them to you though. | Mar 31 21:23 |
DaemonFC | Someone I used to be in school with ended up walking into over a dozen stores before he finally got the $100. :P | Mar 31 21:23 |
DaemonFC | One of the local gas stations has a program where you get a special debit card that you link to your bank account, and when you use it, they give you 7 cents off per gallon. | Mar 31 21:26 |
DaemonFC | Gas has gotten so expensive that my credit card is giving me 7.5 cents per gallon. | Mar 31 21:26 |
DaemonFC | That leads me to believe that the gas station is taking most of the savings from the credit card swipe fees. | Mar 31 21:27 |
DaemonFC | I have an Amazon.com Visa. | Mar 31 21:27 |
DaemonFC | Gas stations and restaurants are a permanent bonus category at 2%. | Mar 31 21:27 |
DaemonFC | Amazon is a permanent bonus category at 3% | Mar 31 21:27 |

sebsebseb | schestowitz__: ping | Apr 01 02:31 |
MinceR | sebsebseb: pong | Apr 01 02:32 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: well that's new being recommended against using FIrefox | Apr 01 02:32 |
sebsebseb | by a site I use | Apr 01 02:32 |
MinceR | is it a google site or a msft site? | Apr 01 02:32 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: they recommended Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Opera instead | Apr 01 02:32 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: dating site | Apr 01 02:32 |
MinceR | stop using it, then | Apr 01 02:32 |
sebsebseb | apparnatly it's since the new CEO is against gay couples or hwatever | Apr 01 02:32 |
sebsebseb | of Mozilla | Apr 01 02:32 |
MinceR | i mean, stop using the site | Apr 01 02:33 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: apparnatly they don't like him beinganti gay or whatever it says | Apr 01 02:33 |
sebsebseb | and he did whatever in 2008 to | Apr 01 02:33 |
MinceR | i don't see how this makes ie worth using | Apr 01 02:34 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: they got a intreistng message | Apr 01 02:34 |
sebsebseb | I'll pastebin it for you hold on | Apr 01 02:34 |
sebsebseb | also MOzilla is more than just one guy | Apr 01 02:35 |
sebsebseb | one CEO | Apr 01 02:35 |
sebsebseb | so much more than just the CEO, it's a global community of people etc | Apr 01 02:35 |
sebsebseb | and even if the commerical backing behind it messes up, it can stll live on, since open source | Apr 01 02:35 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: you agree with me? | Apr 01 02:35 |
MinceR | at least with that it can live on | Apr 01 02:36 |
sebsebseb | yep | Apr 01 02:36 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: http://pastebin.com/UvND4Tyy | Apr 01 02:38 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: reading it? | Apr 01 02:41 |
MinceR | read it | Apr 01 02:42 |
sebsebseb | ok what you think then? | Apr 01 02:42 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: ? | Apr 01 02:44 |
MinceR | i'm not sure about the CEO, but i'm sure that this is no good reason to promote IE | Apr 01 02:44 |
MinceR | if it really bothers them that much, maybe they could fork firefox | Apr 01 02:44 |
MinceR | or develop a new browser | Apr 01 02:44 |
MinceR | we could use one that does not suck | Apr 01 02:44 |
sebsebseb | that site won't do that | Apr 01 02:44 |
sebsebseb | I expect | Apr 01 02:45 |
sebsebseb | ,but more browsers that don't suck as optoins, is good :d | Apr 01 02:45 |
sebsebseb | good point though, Firefox can just get forked since it's open source | Apr 01 02:45 |
sebsebseb | if people don't want to use Firefox itself since whatever, when they like it | Apr 01 02:46 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: oh heh heh | Apr 01 02:53 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: I just noticed something | Apr 01 02:53 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: on that pag | Apr 01 02:53 |
sebsebseb | the Internet Explorer button | Apr 01 02:53 |
sebsebseb | actsually says | Apr 01 02:53 |
sebsebseb | Internet Exploder on it | Apr 01 02:53 |
MinceR | i saw it | Apr 01 02:53 |
sebsebseb | saw what? | Apr 01 02:54 |
MinceR | 085356 < sebsebseb> Internet Exploder on it | Apr 01 02:54 |
MinceR | (flash) (audio) http://www.nilsjc.com/kraft/kraft_intro.html | Apr 01 02:54 |
sebsebseb | what did you go on the page yourself? | Apr 01 02:54 |
sebsebseb | or did that show in my pastebin | Apr 01 02:54 |
MinceR | it did | Apr 01 02:55 |
MinceR | show on the pastebin, that is | Apr 01 02:55 |
sebsebseb | well that's funny isn't it | Apr 01 02:55 |
sebsebseb | or maybe that's just a mistake of theirs, but still | Apr 01 02:55 |
MinceR | and yet they still advertise IE | Apr 01 02:55 |
sebsebseb | yeah, but Chrome is the first button | Apr 01 02:56 |
sebsebseb | then IE then Opera | Apr 01 02:56 |
sebsebseb | all three are propritary | Apr 01 02:57 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: r and d is so close on the keyboard, so it's a mistake, or meant to look like one :d | Apr 01 02:59 |
sebsebseb | I assume | Apr 01 02:59 |
MinceR | i wonder if they complain if you use Seamonkey :> | Apr 01 03:00 |
sebsebseb | yeah or Iceape | Apr 01 03:02 |
sebsebseb | or the old Mozilla Suite maybe even :d | Apr 01 03:02 |
sebsebseb | oh and what about old Netscapes? :d | Apr 01 03:02 |
sebsebseb | they say they prefer peole don't useFIrefox.... | Apr 01 03:03 |
sebsebseb | I was thinking when I read that something like, I would prefer people don't use IE | Apr 01 03:03 |
sebsebseb | ,but loads do, don't get my way | Apr 01 03:03 |
sebsebseb | or like we prfer most people use Desktop LInux, but most use WIndows and Mac | Apr 01 03:03 |
sebsebseb | don't just get our way, that's life | Apr 01 03:03 |
sebsebseb | also if it wasn'tforFirefox, the web woudn't be what it is today | Apr 01 03:04 |
sebsebseb | thinggs became more standards compliant, once MS got proper competition | Apr 01 03:04 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: actsaully this is a bit like, don't use reiserFS ,because of what happended or apparnatly happended | Apr 01 03:08 |
sebsebseb | t's like saying that | Apr 01 03:09 |
sebsebseb | what they did | Apr 01 03:09 |
DaemonFC | http://community.qvc.com/forums/kitchen-and-food-talk/topic/160803/using-loose-tea-in-the-k-cupshhhhhhhhhhhh.aspx | Apr 01 03:39 |
DaemonFC | I tear open the tea bags and pour the tea into the my Kcup thing. | Apr 01 03:39 |
DaemonFC | It tastes exactly the same as the tea pods that they sell. | Apr 01 03:40 |
DaemonFC | The big difference is the teabags are about 10 cents, and the tea pods for the Keurig machine are more like 50-60 cents each. | Apr 01 03:40 |
DaemonFC | I don't plan to ever buy any kcups. | Apr 01 03:42 |
DaemonFC | The my kcup thing is reusable and you can use any coffee you like in it. | Apr 01 03:43 |
DaemonFC | The price of coffee works out to like $35 a pound if you buy it in kcups. | Apr 01 03:43 |

Sosumi | yeah, "free" | Apr 02 16:11 |
DaemonFC | Sosumi: I got a grocery rebate on some "Jif Whips", so I got a tub of peanut butter and chocolate. | Apr 02 16:12 |
DaemonFC | Then when I got home I noticed it actually says peanut butter with chocolate flavored spread. | Apr 02 16:12 |
MinceR | no, Nutella is that hazelnut chocolate spread that you don't need to mix with anything | Apr 02 16:13 |
MinceR | because it's awesome | Apr 02 16:13 |
DaemonFC | MinceR: I suppose you could eat it out of the jar with a spoon. | Apr 02 16:14 |
DaemonFC | I could see my dad doing that. | Apr 02 16:14 |
Sosumi | honey >>>>>>>>>>> crap = nutella | Apr 02 16:14 |
MinceR | i prefer to spread it on baked goods | Apr 02 16:14 |
DaemonFC | MinceR: I keep getting rebates on those Belvita breakfast biscuits. | Apr 02 16:15 |
DaemonFC | So I keep buying them because they're basically free. | Apr 02 16:15 |
DaemonFC | I wonder if the nutella spread would go well on those banana nut biscuits. | Apr 02 16:16 |
DaemonFC | :) | Apr 02 16:16 |
Sosumi | that cholesterol... | Apr 02 16:16 |
DaemonFC | My cholesterol levels are well within the normal range. | Apr 02 16:17 |
DaemonFC | One easy way to get it down is to eat a lot of soluble fiber. | Apr 02 16:17 |
DaemonFC | That psyllium husk powder has been shown to reduce your LDL levels by about 4% when you take it as directed for about a month. | Apr 02 16:18 |
MinceR | nobody said you had to eat a lot of it. | Apr 02 16:18 |
MinceR | and too much of anything will kill you | Apr 02 16:18 |
DaemonFC | including water | Apr 02 16:19 |
DaemonFC | MinceR: I don't think that too much oxygen will kill you. | Apr 02 16:19 |
DaemonFC | When I worked in a nursing home, I used to have to fill oxygen tanks for the residents. | Apr 02 16:19 |
DaemonFC | I used to huff pure oxygen while I was in there. | Apr 02 16:20 |
DaemonFC | It won't hurt you. | Apr 02 16:20 |
DaemonFC | It makes you alert and energetic for quite a while. | Apr 02 16:20 |
MinceR | also including oxygen. | Apr 02 16:21 |
DaemonFC | Most of the Earth's atmosphere is nitrogen, but I don't believe that our bodies really have any use for it. We've evolved to get along just fine on a ~20% mix. | Apr 02 16:21 |
MinceR | yes, too much oxygen will kill you. | Apr 02 16:21 |
MinceR | (too high concentration) | Apr 02 16:21 |
DaemonFC | of oxygen | Apr 02 16:22 |
DaemonFC | Really? | Apr 02 16:22 |

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-en.wikipedia.org | Oxygen bar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia | Apr 02 16:24 | |
DaemonFC | "It has been claimed by alternative medicine that the human body is oxygen deprived, and so that more oxygen will remove "toxins" and even cure cancer." | Apr 02 16:24 |
MinceR | "alternative medicine" claims all sorts of bullshit. | Apr 02 16:24 |
DaemonFC | I wouldn't go that far. It's a common claim for so-called "alternative medicine" that one particular thing cures everything that can possibly ail you. | Apr 02 16:24 |
MinceR | well, death does end all health problems | Apr 02 16:25 |
DaemonFC | Until we figure out a way to copy our minds into computers or something. | Apr 02 16:25 |
MinceR | i hope those computers will not be influenced by elements such as microsoft and apple. | Apr 02 16:26 |
DaemonFC | It's always fun watching or reading old sci fi. | Apr 02 16:26 |
MinceR | (except as object lessons) | Apr 02 16:26 |
DaemonFC | Data in Star Trek rattled off his specifications and I remember thinking "I could buy that much storage from Google for les than $10 a month.....". | Apr 02 16:26 |
DaemonFC | In the late 1980s, it probably seemed like a lot of storage. :) | Apr 02 16:27 |
DaemonFC | MinceR: The problem that I see with living forever in such a state is that you'd need storage capacity that would grow along with your mind. | Apr 02 16:27 |
MinceR | it would be nice | Apr 02 16:28 |
MinceR | currently we're making do with limited storage capacity | Apr 02 16:28 |
MinceR | (though also with a limited lifespan) | Apr 02 16:28 |
DaemonFC | Right. Your brain only has to deal with you living about 70 years. 100-110 tops. | Apr 02 16:28 |
DaemonFC | And when it gets older, dementia sets in and starts deleting stuff. | Apr 02 16:29 |
DaemonFC | Or never properly storing it to begin with. | Apr 02 16:29 |
DaemonFC | It's like having a hard disk drive that is crashing and corrupting files at random. | Apr 02 16:29 |
DaemonFC | The human brain would not be fit to be in service for much over 100 years, even if you didn't have to consider any other reliability problems of a human body. | Apr 02 16:30 |
DaemonFC | So, it too would need to be replaced. | Apr 02 16:31 |
DaemonFC | At that point, we're talking about scrapping the entire body and copying files. | Apr 02 16:31 |
DaemonFC | I believe that such a thing is possible, but that our current level of technology is at least 100 years from achieving that. | Apr 02 16:33 |
DaemonFC | It would never benefit us, and I believe that it will be incredibly expensive, at least at first. | Apr 02 16:33 |
DaemonFC | So, it will mostly save rich people from having to die. | Apr 02 16:34 |

DaemonFC | I remember he said that he gave them Zunes and Surface tablets, and that they were not "deprived". | Apr 02 19:33 |
DaemonFC | I commented that they were deprived of the excellent Android devices that are out there, and relegated to a computing platform that all of about three other people use, whose most engaging app is Yahoo Mail. | Apr 02 19:33 |
DaemonFC | That sounds absolutely punitive to me. | Apr 02 19:33 |

gde33 | DaemonFC: MinceR: lack of oxygen is beneficial for all diseases or injuries | Apr 02 19:40 |
gde33 | it isnt a digital switch | Apr 02 19:41 |
gde33 | I've often asked and wondered : how much electricity to electrolize a daily dose of oxygen? | Apr 02 19:42 |
gde33 | then it becomes evident pretty much no one knows anything | Apr 02 19:43 |
gde33 | would have to ask on ISS or something | Apr 02 19:43 |
gde33 | who cares if CO2 goes up? I'm not a plant | Apr 02 19:44 |
gde33 | it's like trying to get drunk on malt beer | Apr 02 19:45 |
gde33 | but who am I kidding, large areas of our planet are already dead, if that isnt a clue nothing will ever be | Apr 02 19:45 |
gde33 | like CO poisoning, slowly you cant think anymore | Apr 02 19:46 |
DaemonFC | Our technology will not save us. | Apr 02 19:51 |
DaemonFC | Quite the opposite, in fact. It has enabled a population bubble. | Apr 02 19:51 |
gde33 | I think the big boys are in the process of killing all the useless eaters | Apr 02 19:52 |
DaemonFC | The world is temporarily able to support more people than are ultimately sustainable, because we're burning through a resource glut in a very unsustainable way. | Apr 02 19:52 |
gde33 | there are laundy lists worth of efforts | Apr 02 19:52 |
gde33 | partially, proffit also comes into it | Apr 02 19:53 |
gde33 | dont believe the over population hype, it's nonsense | Apr 02 19:54 |
DaemonFC | It's only nonsense if you ignore the resource limit of the planet and the fact that fossil fuel consumption is changing the environment in a way that will be hostile to human life. | Apr 02 19:55 |
gde33 | what resource limit? | Apr 02 19:55 |
DaemonFC | We're in the middle of the bubble right now. | Apr 02 19:55 |
gde33 | no one needs fossile fuels | Apr 02 19:55 |
DaemonFC | It will start to collapse in the next few decades. | Apr 02 19:56 |
gde33 | you dont need a car, no electricity, non of this stuff | Apr 02 19:56 |
DaemonFC | The Hubbert Curve predicted that world oil production would peak in 1995, and then go into terminal decline. | Apr 02 19:56 |
DaemonFC | Conservation efforts and unconventional recovery tactics turned it into something more like a roller coaster. | Apr 02 19:56 |
gde33 | we also have wind turbines with thousands of years worth of runtime on them | Apr 02 19:57 |
DaemonFC | It will probably still peak within my lifetime, but we won't know that it peaked until several years later, when we're not able to find and recover enough oil to replace the lost production. | Apr 02 19:57 |
gde33 | if you make those out of sollid gold you still get a proffit | Apr 02 19:57 |
gde33 | oil burning needs to stop entirely, asap | Apr 02 19:58 |
DaemonFC | There's an idiot that keeps writing my local newspaper encouraging people to defeat a proposed wind farm. | Apr 02 19:58 |
DaemonFC | He's worried about his own property value. | Apr 02 19:58 |
gde33 | here the government is cutting down every tree in urban arreas | Apr 02 19:58 |
gde33 | DaemonFC: Don Quixote lives! | Apr 02 19:59 |
gde33 | they are monsters! | Apr 02 19:59 |
gde33 | but to assert overpopulation based on oil is just rediculous | Apr 02 20:00 |
gde33 | you might as well argue there isn't enough cocaine for everyone | Apr 02 20:00 |

DaemonFC | 2 minutes ago · Edited | Apr 03 21:16 |
DaemonFC | Best Buy is offering $100 store credit towards a new computer when you trade in any Windows XP machine. It's time to dust off that old pile of crap you have in your closet and upgrade from Windows to Chromebook. | Apr 03 21:16 |
DaemonFC | The credit makes the Acer C7 $99. | Apr 03 21:16 |
DaemonFC | iBotta also has a deal where if you spend $100 at Best Buy, you get a $10 rebate, so toss in a $1 pop from their cooler while you're at it, and you can get a C7 Chromebook and a 20 ounce pop for $90. | Apr 03 21:16 |

DaemonFC | I just forced the Kitkat update onto my phone. | Apr 04 17:05 |
DaemonFC | Apparently, Google does the update by UUID, so you can reset the UUID by clearing the Google Services Framework data and force stopping it, and then checking for updates again. | Apr 04 17:05 |
DaemonFC | Eventually, you'll get a UUID that Google will send the update to right now, and skip to the front of the line. | Apr 04 17:06 |
DaemonFC | I've heard that this can mess up some apps for up to a week if they depend on your old UUID, but that you can work around this by doing a factory reset on your phone after the upgrade completes. | Apr 04 17:08 |

DaemonFC | yeah | Apr 04 17:53 |
DaemonFC | Android 4.2 was alright, but it was holding the phone back. | Apr 04 17:53 |
DaemonFC | The benchmarks of the Nexus 5 (mostly identical hardware) showed that Android 4.4 is much more optimized. | Apr 04 17:54 |
DaemonFC | The performance difference was ~20% in some cases. | Apr 04 17:55 |
DaemonFC | The upgrade to 4.4 makes teh LG G2 the phone it should have been at launch. | Apr 04 17:55 |
DaemonFC | I don't know why they couldn't use 4.4 on the G2 at launch. LG makes the Nexus 5 as well, and that had 4.4 all along. | Apr 04 17:55 |
DaemonFC | If you're getting a phone now, at least from Sprint, it's no contest. Get the G2. It's free with a 2 year contract, where the S5 will be $200 with a contract. | Apr 04 17:56 |

_Goblin | Look on the bright side though....... | Apr 04 19:07 |
_Goblin | in about a year or less, you tech choices will be worthless junk and there will be something new to buy....you are not so much buying it though as loaning it....tech breaks, nothing lasts forever... | Apr 04 19:08 |

MinceR | the universe doesn't last forever | Apr 04 19:12 |
cubezzz | it's not things breaking that is really the true problem | Apr 04 19:13 |
cubezzz | it's people's lack of ability to repair things | Apr 04 19:13 |
cubezzz | and the manufacturers have to take a good percentage of the blame too, making crappy products | Apr 04 19:14 |
_Goblin | Vic-20 days are long gone, where build quality was a must....I've got a black and white portable from the early 80's that still works. | Apr 04 19:23 |

cubezzz | at least whether the vic-20 outlast me at least :) | Apr 04 19:25 |

_Goblin | unless you are a Pharaoh and are put to rest in a pyramid with all your belongings. | Apr 04 19:25 |

cubezzz | lots of vaxes still work | Apr 04 19:26 |

_Goblin | but within your lifetime? | Apr 04 19:27 |
MinceR | depends :> | Apr 04 19:27 |
cubezzz | I just mean that the idea of it being necessary to junk stuff after a couple of years is false | Apr 04 19:27 |
_Goblin | because if we want to take it to extreme then the end of the universe will signify the end of everything anyway. | Apr 04 19:27 |
_Goblin | cubezzz, you find me a use for my HTC hero then | Apr 04 19:27 |

_Goblin | I could plug in and use my black and white portable...but what use? I've an HD which looks better. | Apr 04 19:30 |
_Goblin | software/hardware....it all ends up as junk...unless you want to fill your home with the stuff just because you don't want to throw it out....the hero wouldn't be used whatever I did to it...I have faster better phones...the hero could offer nothing to me. | Apr 04 19:31 |
cubezzz | there's an historical interest for old operating systems | Apr 04 19:32 |

_Goblin | very true....but I'm not filling my house with crap for people to wander around and look at.... | Apr 04 19:32 |
_Goblin | the value of "historic" stuff is so cheap too since everybody keeps everything these days. | Apr 04 19:32 |
cubezzz | I actually don't have that much stuff | Apr 04 19:33 |
_Goblin | Even the Atari 2600 can be picked up quite cheap....thats certainly got a historic value. | Apr 04 19:33 |
cubezzz | http://www.maxhost.org/other/tandyvision.jpg | Apr 04 19:33 |
_Goblin | And you may well still code VM/370 - there's people still writing for the c64.....but these days you don't even need the hardware.....emulation... | Apr 04 19:34 |
cubezzz | _Goblin, yeah | Apr 04 19:34 |

DaemonFC | I think I got the situation with Comcast worked out. | Apr 04 19:37 |
_Goblin | until the next time | Apr 04 19:38 |
DaemonFC | I'm on their 3 Mbps plan for $27.99 a month for the next year. That includes my gateway. | Apr 04 19:38 |
DaemonFC | They boiled the frog up to where they had me paying $80-something a month for just internet. | Apr 04 19:38 |
DaemonFC | :/ | Apr 04 19:38 |
_Goblin | I bet within the week you are back here ranting about them.... | Apr 04 19:38 |
cubezzz | haha | Apr 04 19:38 |
cubezzz | no bet | Apr 04 19:38 |
_Goblin | :) | Apr 04 19:39 |
DaemonFC | It's a 24/7 job talking on the phone with them. | Apr 04 19:39 |
DaemonFC | Unless you subscribe to their phone service, and then there's no way to call them when it's not working. | Apr 04 19:39 |
DaemonFC | :) | Apr 04 19:39 |
_Goblin | You know you are probably on a pain in the a$$ customer list at comcast. | Apr 04 19:39 |
cubezzz | _Goblin, there's actually a whole new world to discover re: IBM | Apr 04 19:39 |
_Goblin | the operator is probably making silly faces when you call | Apr 04 19:39 |
cubezzz | IBM 1401 and 1130 for example | Apr 04 19:39 |
DaemonFC | [19:39] <_Goblin> the operator is probably making silly faces when you call | Apr 04 19:40 |
DaemonFC | Oh, probably. | Apr 04 19:40 |
_Goblin | pressing secrecy and swearing at you | Apr 04 19:40 |
DaemonFC | The mute button. | Apr 04 19:40 |
DaemonFC | LOL | Apr 04 19:40 |
_Goblin | playing back recordings of you and slagging you off with their friends at lunchtime. | Apr 04 19:40 |
DaemonFC | _Goblin: If you really hammer them, eventually they give you a 12 month promo to get rid of you though. | Apr 04 19:40 |
DaemonFC | I'm not the first one that noticed this. | Apr 04 19:40 |
_Goblin | I'm not sure who my service provider will be when I move to the US. | Apr 04 19:41 |
DaemonFC | Comcast and AT&T are the two choices in most areas. | Apr 04 19:41 |
cubezzz | I keep telling people to find a free-net | Apr 04 19:41 |
_Goblin | I'm Oregon... | Apr 04 19:41 |
DaemonFC | Comcast is the second worst right after AT&T. | Apr 04 19:42 |
_Goblin | I take it there's no Virgin Media... | Apr 04 19:42 |
_Goblin | or Sky Broadband | Apr 04 19:42 |
_Goblin | to be fair I may well take a desktop netbreak for a few months.... | Apr 04 19:43 |
_Goblin | it will be nice to merely do other things.......I've plenty to go and visit.... | Apr 04 19:43 |
cubezzz | there's Blue Frog Internet in NY | Apr 04 19:43 |
DaemonFC | There are some satellite providers if you're stuck out in the middle of nowhere, but they're REALLY expensive. | Apr 04 19:43 |
_Goblin | I'm Astoria,OR | Apr 04 19:43 |
cubezzz | I think netzero is still around | Apr 04 19:44 |
DaemonFC | The satellite ISPs in the US are so expensive that you're better off using the cell phone network for your data. :) | Apr 04 19:44 |
DaemonFC | If that tells you anything... | Apr 04 19:44 |
cubezzz | _Goblin, what's your zipcode? | Apr 04 19:44 |
_Goblin | i'll DM you... | Apr 04 19:44 |
MinceR | Dungeon Master? :> | Apr 04 19:45 |
DaemonFC | cubezzz: There's no point in using Netzero. | Apr 04 19:45 |
cubezzz | why not? | Apr 04 19:45 |
DaemonFC | They're $10 a month for dial up, but a copper telephone line costs like $14 a month. | Apr 04 19:45 |
DaemonFC | So you're at $24 a month for dial up. Comcast 3 mbps with gateway rental is $27.99 for a year. | Apr 04 19:45 |
DaemonFC | Then all you have to do is call back and ask for them to extend the deal. | Apr 04 19:46 |
DaemonFC | Tell them you got something in the mail from AT&T, and you'll get another year out of them. | Apr 04 19:46 |
DaemonFC | Is $4 a month really worth getting stuck with dial up vs 3 Mbps cable? | Apr 04 19:47 |
cubezzz | DaemonFC, netzero also has broadband | Apr 04 19:47 |
DaemonFC | Yeah, but it's ADSL that goes over AT&T's network anyway. | Apr 04 19:47 |
DaemonFC | You're paying AT&T prices and getting a different logo on your bill. | Apr 04 19:47 |
cubezzz | DaemonFC, you really should check for a free-net | Apr 04 19:48 |
DaemonFC | Actually, you might even pay more with Netzero, because AT&T has 12 month promos. | Apr 04 19:48 |
cubezzz | they don't really advertise so it's easy to overlook them | Apr 04 19:48 |
DaemonFC | I believe that 768k DSL is $19.95 a month for a year if you go with AT&T. | Apr 04 19:48 |
cubezzz | ok, so how much are you paying now? | Apr 04 19:48 |
_Goblin | I pay (including line rental) about £30 per month | Apr 04 19:49 |
DaemonFC | After Comcast agreed to the 12 month deal? | Apr 04 19:49 |
DaemonFC | 3 Mbps with gateway rental for $27.99 a month | Apr 04 19:49 |
cubezzz | $19.95 actually sounds pretty good | Apr 04 19:49 |
_Goblin | that gets me free local/national calls between 7pm-7am and free all weekend too | Apr 04 19:49 |
DaemonFC | Yeah, and AT&T will even throw in a $25 gift card with that. | Apr 04 19:49 |
_Goblin | and as much internet as I can eat | Apr 04 19:49 |
_Goblin | Thats with Sky Broadband | Apr 04 19:50 |
cubezzz | netzero has a $9.99 plan, checking it now | Apr 04 19:50 |
_Goblin | cheers! | Apr 04 19:50 |
DaemonFC | So really your first year of 768k dry loop DSL would work out to $17.86 a month. | Apr 04 19:51 |
DaemonFC | That's a good price for a basic dry loop DSL line. | Apr 04 19:52 |
_Goblin | thats good.... | Apr 04 19:52 |
cubezzz | on a free-net they'll let you run web servers, email servers etc | Apr 04 19:52 |
DaemonFC | Well, compared with dial up. | Apr 04 19:52 |
DaemonFC | Dial up actually costs more than basic DSL these days. | Apr 04 19:52 |
DaemonFC | So, there's absolutely no reason to use dial up unless you simply have no choice. | Apr 04 19:53 |
_Goblin | And do you get Sky Sports over in the US? | Apr 04 19:53 |
DaemonFC | I don't know. Maybe with satellite TV. | Apr 04 19:53 |
_Goblin | Because I'm sorry but the MLS is a little..........crap | Apr 04 19:53 |
DaemonFC | I remember that I got both of the BBCs when I had DirecTV. | Apr 04 19:53 |
_Goblin | I want UK football | Apr 04 19:54 |
_Goblin | and notice the word football there..... | Apr 04 19:54 |
DaemonFC | I think we had Sky, but only if you had their more expensive package. | Apr 04 19:54 |
DaemonFC | Comcast is basically gobbling up everything. | Apr 04 19:54 |
_Goblin | There's no such thing as "American Football"...because the sport rarely kicks the ball........ I won't call football soccer, so I'm expecting the US to think of a new name for your American Football when I arrive. | Apr 04 19:55 |
MinceR | _Goblin: yes, i've noticed you're talking about soccer :> | Apr 04 19:55 |
DaemonFC | They're gouging other cable companies if they want to carry Comcast SportsNet and they're signing exclusivity deals to broadcast some of the major games. | Apr 04 19:55 |
DaemonFC | So without it, you get blacked out of a lot of stuff. | Apr 04 19:55 |
MinceR | _Goblin: you could call it Handegg. | Apr 04 19:55 |
_Goblin | Yes.... | Apr 04 19:55 |
_Goblin | melonball | Apr 04 19:55 |
DaemonFC | :/ | Apr 04 19:55 |
cubezzz | well they do kick it sometimes for field goals :) | Apr 04 19:55 |
MinceR | dunno, the melons i know are pretty spherical | Apr 04 19:56 |
_Goblin | American Melonball.....that works | Apr 04 19:56 |
MinceR | also, i don't really care -- i prefer Bombing Run anyway. :> | Apr 04 19:56 |
DaemonFC | MinceR: I've decided to take Best Buy up on that offer. | Apr 04 19:56 |
_Goblin | and sometimes you throw the ball in football but we don't call it throwball | Apr 04 19:56 |
MinceR | _Goblin: but you never foot the ball | Apr 04 19:56 |
DaemonFC | I have a crappy old Pentium 3 system with Windows XP on it somewhere in one of my bedroom closets. | Apr 04 19:56 |
_Goblin | you use your foot though | Apr 04 19:56 |
DaemonFC | I'm going to take it in and get that $100 credit for a new computer. | Apr 04 19:57 |
MinceR | :) | Apr 04 19:57 |
cubezzz | technically it's a prolate spheroid :) | Apr 04 19:57 |
cubezzz | Prolate Spheroidball :) | Apr 04 19:57 |
_Goblin | DaemonFC, so it was worth keeping....but how much did you pay? The difference after being sold is what you paid to rent it. | Apr 04 19:57 |
MinceR | Handprolate Spheroid | Apr 04 19:57 |
_Goblin | yep that works.... | Apr 04 19:57 |
_Goblin | unlike the Portland Timbers......awful season so far. | Apr 04 19:57 |
MinceR | also Foottruncated Icosahedron | Apr 04 19:58 |
cubezzz | haha | Apr 04 19:58 |
_Goblin | over here, your football is what we call rugby....the difference though is we don't wear crash helmets and armour. | Apr 04 19:58 |
MinceR | yet another game | Apr 04 19:59 |
DaemonFC | _Goblin: Keep what? Comcast? | Apr 04 19:59 |
MinceR | and there are a few more versions of it around | Apr 04 19:59 |
DaemonFC | The internet package is $20, the gateway is $8 a month. | Apr 04 19:59 |

_Goblin | what oregon or RITnet? | Apr 04 20:00 |
_Goblin | ;) | Apr 04 20:00 |
cubezzz | the free-nets in the U.S. are mostly gone now | Apr 04 20:00 |
DaemonFC | We used to have all kinds of free dial up. | Apr 04 20:01 |
_Goblin | I'm not overly concerned since I have had a poor service here in the UK for some time. | Apr 04 20:01 |
DaemonFC | Most of them made you use a Windows program that displayed ads. | Apr 04 20:01 |
DaemonFC | The business model went under. It was part of the dotcom bubble. | Apr 04 20:01 |
cubezzz | we still have community internet in Canada | Apr 04 20:02 |
DaemonFC | Now I can't browse some websites. | Apr 04 20:02 |
DaemonFC | But others load. WTF... | Apr 04 20:02 |
cubezzz | I'm looking into what still exists in the U.S. | Apr 04 20:02 |
*DaemonFC headdesks | Apr 04 20:02 | |
_Goblin | I'm looking forward to the adventure.....its my wifes side of the family there...... | Apr 04 20:02 |
_Goblin | I think I've been to the states about 5 times..... | Apr 04 20:02 |
DaemonFC | _Goblin: If you can live with basic DSL, that's the best deal. | Apr 04 20:03 |
_Goblin | I think I will | Apr 04 20:03 |
DaemonFC | If you have a phone line, AT&T knocks the DSL down to $14.95 a month for the 12 months. | Apr 04 20:03 |
DaemonFC | I think the phone line only costs $7 if you have DSL. | Apr 04 20:03 |
DaemonFC | So $21.95 for phone and basic DSL or $19.95 for just basic DSL. | Apr 04 20:03 |
_Goblin | I don't think I would need any great speeds for my online work....and that will suffice for the PS3....which I can't bring... | Apr 04 20:04 |
DaemonFC | If you have a dial tone, you need to install a filter. | Apr 04 20:04 |
cubezzz | ah ok you guys still have the RAIN network | Apr 04 20:04 |
DaemonFC | One says "phone" and one says "DSL". | Apr 04 20:04 |

_Goblin | Right....time for smoke I think....... | Apr 04 20:06 |
_Goblin | do you have cigarettes in the US? ;) | Apr 04 20:06 |
_Goblin | you certainly don't have fish and chips....I've not seen a fish and chip shop anytime I've been there. | Apr 04 20:06 |
DaemonFC | Yeah. They're about the worst ones for you in the world. | Apr 04 20:07 |
cubezzz | Arthur Treacher's comes to mind | Apr 04 20:07 |
DaemonFC | Except for maybe those organic ones. | Apr 04 20:07 |
DaemonFC | I smoke those sometimes. | Apr 04 20:07 |
_Goblin | and maple syrup? What is that muck...its awful. | Apr 04 20:07 |
_Goblin | Mountain Dew? nope. I want Kiora.....I want colourants....I want high sugar levels and E numbers. | Apr 04 20:08 |
_Goblin | and pork pies.....you don't seem to have them either. | Apr 04 20:08 |
MinceR | E numbers are easy to get | Apr 04 20:08 |
MinceR | even ascorbic acid has one | Apr 04 20:08 |
_Goblin | I'll import pork pies I think..... | Apr 04 20:08 |
MinceR | probably water has one as well | Apr 04 20:08 |
MinceR | probably oxygen has one, too | Apr 04 20:09 |

DaemonFC | It's straight porn. I don't recall downloading that. | Apr 04 20:09 |
MinceR | lol | Apr 04 20:10 |
_Goblin | I didn't think they still did that... I thought they had given up on trying to get money. | Apr 04 20:11 |
DaemonFC | Comcast doesn't cooperate with them. They just forward the notice. | Apr 04 20:11 |
_Goblin | Why don't you write back and ask for confirmation.......? | Apr 04 20:11 |
_Goblin | ;) | Apr 04 20:11 |
DaemonFC | I'm not following any links that a porn company put in a DMCA notice. | Apr 04 20:11 |

schestowitz__ | This reminds me of an Agilent test equipment I knew some time ago. It was based on HP-UX and it was good, but difficult to use. And with HP-UX becoming expensive and less and less popular they decided to change platform. | Apr 05 13:42 |
schestowitz__ | Did they go to Linux? No! They decided to run the whole environment in Windows, in an emulator. That way they got the worst of two worlds: an equipment slow, insecure and unreliable like Windows, and still difficult to use and manage like HP-UX. | Apr 05 13:42 |

schestowitz__ | "Hmm, they use Vurtual Box. The "10 second" Windows 7 or Windows XP install probably gets a copy of VMs that Microsoft made available without promises a couple of years ago. I don't think I'd want to touch that, even in my VM's VM. Forget it." | Apr 05 13:42 |

One thing that makes me happy is the interoperability between Friendica and Diaspora networks.

For example say a school starts using Ubuntu for their primary OS. This may upset good ol' Bill and he may bribe (donate) a politician into drafting a law reversing this. It is the state that tells the teacher do this or be punished. Behind every decree of the state there is a gun. | Apr 06 14:43 |

DaemonFC | Then my internet bill should be down to $20 a month. :) | Apr 06 21:55 |
DaemonFC | I've heard that Comcast won't give you a great deal on your internet package if you own your own equipment. | Apr 06 22:32 |
DaemonFC | So, I got the 12 months at $19.99 locked in, and then bought my own equipment. | Apr 06 22:32 |
DaemonFC | My AAA Sprint discount kicked in this month. It brought my bill down from $99 to $96. :) | Apr 06 22:54 |
DaemonFC | I've noticed lately, that Amazon says your order is over $35 and gets free super saver shipping, and then tried to default to "standard shipping" instead. | Apr 06 23:47 |
DaemonFC | In the case of my modem, the estimated delivery date with "standard shipping" was April 10. With super saver, the estimated delivery date is the 11th (my birthday!). | Apr 06 23:47 |
DaemonFC | So, 1 day sooner was going to cost an additional $9.65? Pass. | Apr 06 23:47 |
DaemonFC | They've tripped me up on that a couple of times before, where I was sure that I selected super saver, but my invoice billed me for standard. | Apr 06 23:47 |

msb_ | How can others log in if they | Apr 07 01:39 |
msb_ | 're not connected to it. | Apr 07 01:39 |
msb_ | ? | Apr 07 01:39 |
DaemonFC | It creates a second wifi network called "COMCAST-GUEST". | Apr 07 01:40 |
DaemonFC | and it lets anyone log in with their comcast email address and password and be a parasite on your connection. | Apr 07 01:40 |
DaemonFC | You're still only provisioned whatever speed level you subscribe to, but it lets them leech off of it. | Apr 07 01:41 |
msb_ | Oh. Mine doesn't have wifi and I don't use it anyhow. | Apr 07 01:41 |
DaemonFC | So everything you're doing could slow to a halt. | Apr 07 01:41 |
DaemonFC | Yeah, if it's just a modem, they can't do that. | Apr 07 01:41 |
DaemonFC | They also can't do that if you own your equipment. | Apr 07 01:41 |
msb_ | I just connect with ethernet. | Apr 07 01:41 |
DaemonFC | I can't do that. | Apr 07 01:42 |
DaemonFC | Well, I do with my desktop PC. | Apr 07 01:42 |
msb_ | Some people think the wifi RF is intense enough to be dangerous -- cancer, etc. | Apr 07 01:42 |
DaemonFC | It isn't possible to do that with my phone and it wouldn't be practical to do that with a laptop. | Apr 07 01:42 |
DaemonFC | I don't believe that it is. | Apr 07 01:42 |
DaemonFC | One thing that I did notice about wifi routers is that the default settings tend to degrade performance. | Apr 07 01:43 |
DaemonFC | If you don't have any wireless b or g devices, you should set it to "n" only. | Apr 07 01:43 |
DaemonFC | That also gives you a small bit of extra security. Since nothing you use is wireless b or g, that would mean that anyone attempting to connect using those is not you. | Apr 07 01:44 |
DaemonFC | :) | Apr 07 01:44 |
msb_ | Did you ever call them up and tell them it wouldn't let you download a Linux distro on bittorrent? | Apr 07 01:44 |
DaemonFC | Oh, it does. | Apr 07 01:44 |
DaemonFC | They don't seem to degrade bittorrent traffic anymore. | Apr 07 01:44 |
msb_ | Oh, good! | Apr 07 01:45 |
DaemonFC | They plan to start enforcing their caps at some point though. | Apr 07 01:45 |
DaemonFC | At that point, there won't be much of a point in subscribing to their 25 or 50 Mbps tiers. | Apr 07 01:45 |
msb_ | The magic word is YIFY! | Apr 07 01:45 |
DaemonFC | It jsut means you'll reach your cap faster and start getting hammered with overage fees. | Apr 07 01:45 |
DaemonFC | Their Comcast 100 tier will double your cap to 600 GB before you start paying more. | Apr 07 01:46 |
DaemonFC | Everything lower than that gets 300 or maybe 350, they haven't decided yet. | Apr 07 01:46 |
DaemonFC | They seem to be experimenting in different markets. | Apr 07 01:46 |
DaemonFC | msb_: Is you use less than 5 GB, they'll knock $5 a month off your internet bill. :P | Apr 07 01:47 |
msb_ | You can get movies and TV in x264 at half the size of xvids. | Apr 07 01:47 |
DaemonFC | If you own your modem and keep getting those $19.99 a month promos, that means you could get cable internet for $14.99 a month. | Apr 07 01:47 |
DaemonFC | I'd never trade 300 GB for 5 GB to save $5. | Apr 07 01:47 |
DaemonFC | That would just be stupid. | Apr 07 01:47 |
DaemonFC | yeah, VP9 and x265 (is that what they call it?) say they'll halve it again. | Apr 07 01:48 |
DaemonFC | Full HD movie rips could be as small as 400-500 MB. | Apr 07 01:48 |
msb_ | 720p is plenty for me. | Apr 07 01:49 |
msb_ | I just watch on my computer screen. | Apr 07 01:49 |
DaemonFC | I got rid of flash and I use and ad blocking plugin to keep from downloading that crap. | Apr 07 01:49 |
msb_ | Those are about 700MB. | Apr 07 01:49 |
DaemonFC | If you do a lot of web browsing, then over the course of the month, ads and tacking scripts and all that crap could be as much as 2-3 GB. | Apr 07 01:49 |
msb_ | Not enough to worry about. And there's a lot of good stuff on Youtube, which can now be downloaded great with youtube-dl. | Apr 07 01:50 |
DaemonFC | Lots of sites are starting to use paywalls. That doesn't affect me too often thanks to Google's cache and setting Firefox to not allow cookies on those sites and to dump all cookies at the end of a session. | Apr 07 01:50 |
DaemonFC | 90% of those paywalls are just a cookie that records how many articles you've looked at and tells you to pay up eventually. | Apr 07 01:51 |
msb_ | Very few alternative news sites insist on being paid. | Apr 07 01:53 |
msb_ | Anyhow, if you select x264 files, 480p or 720p, 10GB/day is more than enough. | Apr 07 01:55 |
-->freedomrun (~freedomru@unaffiliated/freedomrun) has joined #techrights | Apr 07 01:55 | |
msb_ | For me, at least. There are only about 10 TV shows that I watch. | Apr 07 01:56 |
msb_ | Suits, Good Wife, Elementary, Grey's Anatomy... | Apr 07 01:58 |
msb_ | Although the last ep of GA had them all getting a severe flu and none of them even mentioned Vitamin C. Apparently it's censored, like 9/11 truth. | Apr 07 01:59 |
msb_ | I record the Cartoon Network Adult Swim anime's from actual cable TV with a TV card. My old 'puter can convert NTSC to xvid in realtime -- barely. | Apr 07 02:02 |
msb_ | I like the cat character in Space Dandy. | Apr 07 02:05 |
DaemonFC | Between the deal I worked out with Comcast and getting rid of their modem, my bill will go down from $62.51 a month to $21.39 a month. | Apr 07 02:16 |
DaemonFC | That's with taxes. | Apr 07 02:16 |
DaemonFC | I think I can be patient and deal with 3 Mbps... | Apr 07 02:17 |
DaemonFC | I've made do with less. | Apr 07 02:17 |
DaemonFC | Up until 2006, I was still using 768k DSL. | Apr 07 02:17 |
DaemonFC | msb_: I don't know if this gateway is on sale or what. | Apr 07 02:18 |

DaemonFC | I'd be REAL careful about buying anything on ebay that says "XFINITY" (Comcast) on it. | Apr 07 02:24 |
DaemonFC | When you don't return their equipment, they bill you an outrageous amount for it, and then you technically own it. | Apr 07 02:25 |
DaemonFC | It won't work on anyone else's cable network though. | Apr 07 02:25 |
DaemonFC | They only used to charge $150, but it's like $500 now. | Apr 07 02:26 |
msb_ | DaemonFC: You are an amazing bargain hunter! | Apr 07 02:26 |
DaemonFC | They noticed that people were calling them up and canceling, paying the fee for not returning the modem, and then subscribing to Comcast again immediately. | Apr 07 02:26 |
DaemonFC | :) | Apr 07 02:26 |
DaemonFC | Then they owned the modem and never had to make another rental payment on it. | Apr 07 02:27 |
DaemonFC | msb_: I was going to buy that Chromebook at Best Buy, and then it turned out that only Windows XP laptops could be traded in. | Apr 07 02:27 |
DaemonFC | I have several old desktops in the closet that run XP, so I planned to pick the crappiest one and turn it in for the store credit. | Apr 07 02:27 |
DaemonFC | :( | Apr 07 02:27 |
msb_ | Can you run real Linux on a chromebook? | Apr 07 02:28 |
DaemonFC | You sure can. :) | Apr 07 02:28 |
DaemonFC | There are instructions on linux.com for installing Ubuntu to the SSD of an Acer C720 and wiping out Chrome OS. | Apr 07 02:29 |
DaemonFC | But you probably don't want to do that. | Apr 07 02:29 |
DaemonFC | What you *could* do is use external storage. | Apr 07 02:29 |
DaemonFC | Get a 64 or 128 GB USB 3.0 flash drive and make a Fedora image on it with persistent storage. | Apr 07 02:30 |
DaemonFC | Then plug it into the Chromebook's USB 3.0 port. | Apr 07 02:30 |
DaemonFC | Then you could switch between Fedora and Chrome OS by rebooting. | Apr 07 02:30 |
DaemonFC | msb_: You don't want to get the Samsung Chromebook with the arm processor in it if you want to run a regular GNU/Linux distribution. | Apr 07 02:31 |
DaemonFC | There's an unofficial Fedora image for the Samsung Chromebook, but it hasn't been updated since Fedora 18 iirc. | Apr 07 02:31 |
DaemonFC | 2 seconds ago | Apr 07 02:36 |
DaemonFC | No. Technically, Windows XP won't become "less secure" than it was before when it goes out of support. All of the security problems that will be discovered after April 8th were there before April 8th. Many of them will have been there since 2001, or even before that (since many Windows vulnerabilities go back well into the 1990s). | Apr 07 02:36 |
DaemonFC | Tavis Ormandy found a problem with the NTVDM (NT Virtual DOS Machine) that dated back to the original Windows NT from 1993, which was still present in Windows 7. He privately informed Microsoft of it. Months passed, and they still hadn't fixed it, so he publicly reported it along with demonstration exploit code. Only then did Microsoft fix it. Then they said that HE was the one being irresponsible. | Apr 07 02:36 |
DaemonFC | I find it hysterical that people suddenly think that Windows XP is too dangerous to use. It was always too dangerous to use. 13 years and 5,000+ security patches later, and it's STILL dangerous. | Apr 07 02:36 |
DaemonFC | What does that say about how bad the original XP was? | Apr 07 02:36 |
msb_ | It probably has fluoride in it to rot your brain. | Apr 07 02:39 |
msb_ | Virtual software fluoride. | Apr 07 02:39 |
msb_ | DaemonFC: Actually it does. Fluoridated water destroys the pineal gland, which otherwise produces dimethyltryptamine, a psychedelic. Thanks to the US govt, everyone in this country has their pineal gland destroyed, so they live in a reality that's much less fun. | Apr 07 02:45 |
msb_ | DaemonFC: Likewise, every version of MS Windows lacks the software freedom and the 20 desktops you can get with Linux, so the MS computer experience is also very limited, and people don't know any better. | Apr 07 02:46 |
msb_ | DaemonFC: MS and fluoride are both techniques of mind-control, which enable the richest 1% to grab 99% of the wealth, without the other 99% of the population trying to do anything about it. | Apr 07 02:49 |
msb_ | Good movie -- Contagion 2011 - brain examination: The sulci are obliterated. Let's look at the base. Oh my god. You want me to take a sample? I want you to move away from the table. Should I call someone? Call everyone. | Apr 07 03:15 |

Sosumi | lulz | Apr 07 10:02 |
msb_ | Smartphones and tablets are destroying civilization. The formerly excellent zap2it.com TV schedule listing has now been trashed and de-featured so it will fit into a postage stamp sized screen. God effing damn them! | Apr 07 10:07 |
Sosumi | how is 5 inches post stamp size | Apr 07 10:08 |
Sosumi | msb_ logic | Apr 07 10:08 |
*Sosumi shrugs | Apr 07 10:08 | |
msb_ | Hyperbole. It's still much too small to display a useful amount of information. | Apr 07 10:09 |
Sosumi | in between the pros and cons of portability, 5 inches is fine | Apr 07 10:10 |
Sosumi | just swipe down | Apr 07 10:10 |
msb_ | Any time anyone mentions "improving the user experience" it meanw they are going to s--t all over you. | Apr 07 10:10 |
msb_ | To hell with that. I want to see 6 hours of tv listings, not 3. I want to see 5 days x 24 hours of listings for any particular channel. I want to see the GD year of release of movies!!! They've trashed all that. | Apr 07 10:11 |
MinceR | my phone has a 1280x720 5.5" display | Apr 07 10:13 |
msb_ | I don't want to have to look through a effing keyhole at what was formerly a large 2-D listing, just because some people have tiny screens. | Apr 07 10:13 |
MinceR | it fits more information than some laptops. | Apr 07 10:13 |
msb_ | Good for you. I hope it came with a microscope. | Apr 07 10:13 |
MinceR | it didn't, but my eyes work. | Apr 07 10:13 |
MinceR | my tablet has a 1920x1200 7" display, that's a higher resolution than most monitors | Apr 07 10:13 |
Sosumi | I have a bottle of water that says "Pedras Salgadas" | Apr 07 10:14 |
Sosumi | now try to be that up | Apr 07 10:14 |
Sosumi | *beat | Apr 07 10:14 |
abeNd-org | they dont have a dropdown to select how much to show? | Apr 07 10:14 |
msb_ | I have a 1920x1080 27" screen. | Apr 07 10:14 |
msb_ | No. | Apr 07 10:15 |
MinceR | don't blame smartphones and tablets for people sucking at web design and web programming :> | Apr 07 10:15 |
msb_ | It used to be part of user preferences, which now mostly don't exist. | Apr 07 10:15 |
MinceR | crApple is making lack of configurability chic. | Apr 07 10:15 |
msb_ | I blame corps for catering to the lowest most stupid audience. | Apr 07 10:16 |
msb_ | The KDE4 devs did that too. | Apr 07 10:16 |

msb_ | I would not trust any system that Google controls. | Apr 07 10:18 |
MinceR | chromebooks can be taken out of google control, afaik | Apr 07 10:19 |
MinceR | not sure how well supplied they are with gpu drivers for x, though | Apr 07 10:19 |
msb_ | Google used to have all Usenet text posts as far back as 1980, searchable. Then they threw it away. | Apr 07 10:19 |
msb_ | There's no way to talk to them anymore, either. Google is now just another corporate pig. | Apr 07 10:20 |
MinceR | indeed. | Apr 07 10:21 |
MinceR | at least their tech tends to suck somewhat less | Apr 07 10:21 |
MinceR | and tends to be a little more open | Apr 07 10:21 |
msb_ | BTW, when did laptops become "notebooks"? | Apr 07 10:21 |
msb_ | If I got one, it would have a 17" screen and a huge hard drive. | Apr 07 10:22 |
MinceR | when marketers decided it was not a good idea to suggest that people use them in their lap, i guess | Apr 07 10:22 |
MinceR | my first two laptops were huge, heavy, with 17" screens | Apr 07 10:22 |
MinceR | i'm still using my ThinkPad W700 at home. | Apr 07 10:22 |
Sosumi | by that definition then, a macbook air should only be used in the "air" | Apr 07 10:23 |
Sosumi | hopefully, it'll float too | Apr 07 10:23 |
msb_ | Well, you have to sit it down somewhere in order to type on it, so the only problem with being heavy is carrying it. | Apr 07 10:23 |
msb_ | Of course floating *would* be nice! | Apr 07 10:24 |
Sosumi | I bet there's an app for that | Apr 07 10:24 |
Sosumi | :) | Apr 07 10:24 |
msb_ | When did programs become "apps" ? | Apr 07 10:25 |
Sosumi | when crapple started calling them that | Apr 07 10:25 |
msb_ | Probably they don't want to remind people about how programmable *people* are! | Apr 07 10:25 |
msb_ | The poisoned Apple. | Apr 07 10:26 |
Sosumi | no, they just want ppl to think that their products are single purposed machines | Apr 07 10:26 |

MinceR | 162313 < Sosumi> by that definition then, a macbook air should only be used in the "air" | Apr 07 10:26 |
MinceR | no, but it's full of hot air | Apr 07 10:27 |
Sosumi | how so? facebook can't make a crapbook overheat | Apr 07 10:27 |
MinceR | crApple hype | Apr 07 10:28 |
msb_ | F---book -- there's another load of garbage contaminating the world. | Apr 07 10:28 |
MinceR | also, others probably called applications "apps" well before crApple did | Apr 07 10:28 |
msb_ | Whoever renamed directories as "folders" should be strangled. | Apr 07 10:29 |
msb_ | I'm in a bad mood today. Now it will be twice as much work to find out what's on TV. | Apr 07 10:30 |

DaemonFC | MinceR: They have a list of ways you can use it. | Apr 07 18:05 |
DaemonFC | You can use a regular printer by connecting it to a Windows PC or a Mac and installing some special software from Google. | Apr 07 18:05 |
DaemonFC | You can buy a new printer that Google can send print jobs to. | Apr 07 18:05 |
DaemonFC | Or you can submit it as a print job for FedEx and get a code to enter that prints the pages out when you get there. | Apr 07 18:06 |
MinceR | gn | Apr 07 18:19 |

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.google.com | Google - Cloud Print [ http://ur1.ca/h12hd ] | Apr 07 18:28 | |
DaemonFC | That sees like a big pain in the ass just to print an occasional page. | Apr 07 18:28 |
DaemonFC | seems | Apr 07 18:29 |
DaemonFC | Printers are just evil in general. | Apr 07 18:31 |
DaemonFC | HP and others even go so far as to code their printer cartridges with an expiration date. | Apr 07 18:31 |
DaemonFC | Starting the day you put the cartridge in the printer, it starts a countdown, so that the damned thing will eventually refuse to print, even if you have ink left. | Apr 07 18:32 |
DaemonFC | I hate printers so much that I just go to the library and use one of their computers when I need a copy of something. | Apr 07 18:34 |
DaemonFC | It's much cheaper to pay them 20 cents a page than it is to buy a printer and play the ink cartridge games | Apr 07 18:34 |

DaemonFC | I'm digging through the refurb laptops on the Acer outlet storefront. | Apr 07 19:02 |
DaemonFC | That $150 C720 is so tempting. | Apr 07 19:03 |
DaemonFC | Where else do you get a laptop that does anything for $150? :) | Apr 07 19:03 |
DaemonFC | Google says that once a Chromebook has had the first user sign in, that no further users are eligible for any of the "goodies" though. | Apr 07 19:03 |
DaemonFC | including two years of free 100 GB Google Drive | Apr 07 19:04 |
DaemonFC | So, that wipes out at least $50 in value right off the bat. | Apr 07 19:04 |
DaemonFC | A 15 GB Google Drive is free though. I already have one because I use Android. | Apr 07 19:04 |
DaemonFC | If you don't do much with it except uploading photos and stuff, 15 GB should be sufficient. | Apr 07 19:07 |
DaemonFC | Plus, you can always use a thumb drive. | Apr 07 19:07 |

msb_ | cubezzz: By turning off popup blocking and AdBlockPlus I was able to see Season/Episode numbers in the aol tv schedule. But it runs audiovisual flash ads when I click on a show to see that, which could crash my computer. Also it shows only 2.5hours of schedule, and the time selector doesn't work -- ask for 10PM and I get 10AM. Also no movie year, nor original series ep broadcast date. No better than zap2it, which now has season/ep | Apr 08 00:33 |

TechrightsBot-tr | Hello World! I'm TechrightsBot-tr running phIRCe v0.75 | Apr 08 06:31 |
schestowitz_bed2 | [23:34] <DaemonFC> I hate printers so much that I just go to the library and use one of their computers when I need a copy of something. | Apr 08 06:36 |
schestowitz_bed2 | [23:34] <DaemonFC> It's much cheaper to pay them 20 cents a page than it is to buy a printer and play the ink cartridge games | Apr 08 06:36 |
schestowitz_bed2 | I'm the saem | Apr 08 06:36 |
schestowitz_bed2 | in a photo development shop | Apr 08 06:36 |
schestowitz_bed2 | they also make better prints | Apr 08 06:36 |
schestowitz_bed2 | the idea of printing from home is the anti-sharing mentality | Apr 08 06:37 |
schestowitz_bed2 | where rather than a family sharing a landline each carries a tracking device | Apr 08 06:37 |
schestowitz_bed2 | and people buy several of each thing instead of sharing | Apr 08 06:37 |

DaemonFC | schestowitz_bed2: They have family plans. A smartphone is a computer. You don't really want to share it with people. | Apr 08 06:47 |
DaemonFC | I do like that Android Beam. | Apr 08 06:47 |
DaemonFC | Where you can beam files to other Android phones. | Apr 08 06:47 |
DaemonFC | schestowitz_bed2: I'll bet that Google made some kind of deal with HP. | Apr 08 06:52 |
DaemonFC | They make Chromebooks and then Google sabotages the OS to where it can't run a printer connected over USB. | Apr 08 06:52 |
DaemonFC | suddenly you need a "google cloud print" printer that sends all your documents to the NSA | Apr 08 06:53 |
DaemonFC | schestowitz_bed2: I did end up snagging that $149.99 refurbished C720. | Apr 08 06:54 |
DaemonFC | I was hoping to get one for $99 at Best Buy in exchange for one of my XP boat anchors that's been in the bedroom closet for years. | Apr 08 06:54 |
DaemonFC | But the real deal ended up being honored only if you trade in a laptop. | Apr 08 06:55 |
schestowitz_bed2 | [13:00] <DaemonFC> schestowitz__: That's why you don't talk about who you voted for at work. | Apr 08 06:56 |
schestowitz_bed2 | [13:01] <MinceR> schestowitz__: what is that referring to? | Apr 08 06:56 |

MinceR | i thought it was about funding, not voting | Apr 08 06:57 |
schestowitz__ | both count | Apr 08 06:58 |
schestowitz__ | in a workplace | Apr 08 06:58 |
DaemonFC | I changed my Amazon Smile charity to the Electronic Frontier Foundation. | Apr 08 06:58 |
schestowitz__ | a superior might not promote someone for voting far right | Apr 08 06:58 |
schestowitz__ | or even Republican, which in the US is "acceptable" far right | Apr 08 06:58 |
schestowitz__ | DaemonFC: good for you | Apr 08 06:58 |
schestowitz__ | yuo might be on a "list" for that | Apr 08 06:59 |
schestowitz__ | one day you put a sticker on your laptop and the next day you're accused of working for FSB in Moscow | Apr 08 06:59 |
MinceR | i tend to peel stickers off my laptops | Apr 08 07:00 |
MinceR | especially the winblows ads | Apr 08 07:00 |
MinceR | also helps reduce the bazaar look :> | Apr 08 07:01 |
schestowitz__ | I did that too | Apr 08 07:01 |
schestowitz__ | Some don't peel off so well | Apr 08 07:01 |
cubezzz | haha, I figure you did that MinceR :) | Apr 08 07:01 |
MinceR | some stickers i would like to retain tend to peel off their own | Apr 08 07:02 |
MinceR | the nSeries sticker on my dHell became an empty silvery rectangle after a while | Apr 08 07:03 |
schestowitz__ | meh | Apr 08 07:03 |
schestowitz__ | mine has warranty sticker | Apr 08 07:03 |
MinceR | the GNU or FSF (i can't remember which) sticker i replaced it with also became a silvery circle | Apr 08 07:03 |
schestowitz__ | covering the remnants of a Windows Vistas sticker that did not peel off so well | Apr 08 07:03 |
schestowitz__ | Because, you know, it's Vista | Apr 08 07:03 |
MinceR | the ThinkPad logo on the wrist pad of my tablet PC became a hollow shape | Apr 08 07:03 |
schestowitz__ | nothing works well | Apr 08 07:03 |
MinceR | :> | Apr 08 07:03 |
MinceR | my sweat probably dissolves the solvents | Apr 08 07:04 |
cubezzz | at least they don't stamp MICROSOFT into the laptop's molecular structure :) | Apr 08 07:04 |
MinceR | yet | Apr 08 07:04 |
schestowitz__ | There is also ATI sticker (AMD) and Intel on it | Apr 08 07:04 |
schestowitz__ | I leave the Intel one on because it might not peel off well | Apr 08 07:04 |
---|Omega| is now known as Omega | Apr 08 07:04 | |
schestowitz__ | and it look a bit fancy with hologramic effect | Apr 08 07:04 |
MinceR | i don't mind the intel stickers | Apr 08 07:04 |
schestowitz__ | It's like "smoking kills" sticker | Apr 08 07:04 |
schestowitz__ | "centrino Inside" | Apr 08 07:05 |
DaemonFC | MinceR: Some of those Chromebooks are covered in stickers. | Apr 08 07:05 |
schestowitz__ | [12:04] <MinceR> my sweat probably dissolves the solvents | Apr 08 07:05 |
DaemonFC | "OMG, THIS HAS WIRELESS N ZOMG!!!!" | Apr 08 07:05 |
schestowitz__ | Is Absurdistan ever getting so warm? | Apr 08 07:05 |
DaemonFC | "ZOMG INTEL INSIDE!!!!" | Apr 08 07:05 |
schestowitz__ | Yeah | Apr 08 07:05 |
cubezzz | avoiding Intel is tough | Apr 08 07:06 |
DaemonFC | I think that the one I bought only has the Intel sticker. | Apr 08 07:06 |
MinceR | my EeePC had lots of stickers | Apr 08 07:06 |
schestowitz__ | Did Google trademark "Chrome"? | Apr 08 07:06 |
MinceR | :> | Apr 08 07:06 |
DaemonFC | It has a Haswell Celeron. | Apr 08 07:06 |
schestowitz__ | Or did it strugglew like ti does with "Glass"? | Apr 08 07:06 |
schestowitz__ | MS got "Windows", but Google can't get "Glass" | Apr 08 07:06 |
MinceR | schestowitz__: the unhabitable concrete box i live in has no air conditioning | Apr 08 07:06 |
DaemonFC | schestowitz__: I think that the C720 is the best deal out there right now, especially refurbished. | Apr 08 07:06 |
MinceR | or proper insulation | Apr 08 07:07 |
DaemonFC | Where else are you going to get a laptop that does all that for $150? | Apr 08 07:07 |
cubezzz | it's still cold here | Apr 08 07:07 |
cubezzz | 1 C | Apr 08 07:07 |
DaemonFC | As far as I know, there aren't any $150 Windows laptops out there at all. | Apr 08 07:07 |
MinceR | eventually my sweat took off the intel stickers too, iirc | Apr 08 07:07 |
MinceR | but those didn't come apart | Apr 08 07:07 |
DaemonFC | MinceR: They could probably get the price down some more if they went with AMD. | Apr 08 07:09 |
DaemonFC | for the Chromebooks | Apr 08 07:09 |
DaemonFC | The fact that there's an Intel processor in there at all, even just a Celeron, probably raises the price $20-30. | Apr 08 07:09 |
DaemonFC | They could be selling these things brand new for $150 and making a profit with AMD processors. | Apr 08 07:10 |
DaemonFC | I deliberately stayed away from the Samsung Chromebook. | Apr 08 07:13 |
MinceR | my 'replace the laptop with an arm tablet' project failed | Apr 08 07:13 |
DaemonFC | It's more expensive, it's slower, and it has proprietary graphics drivers that aren't included in standard GNU/Linux distributions, so it's very hard to run anything other than Chrome OS on it. | Apr 08 07:13 |
DaemonFC | Yeah. | Apr 08 07:13 |
DaemonFC | MinceR: I tried that back in 2011 with an Archos G9. | Apr 08 07:14 |
DaemonFC | They're just not good enough. | Apr 08 07:14 |
MinceR | mainly because the android UI is not that keyboard-friendly and can't run x2x or synergy | Apr 08 07:14 |
MinceR | (it traps alt+tab and super+tab for the same thing, and i can't let them through to bVNC) | Apr 08 07:14 |
DaemonFC | MinceR: Swype works fine on phones. | Apr 08 07:14 |
MinceR | hacker's keyboard works fine on phones and tablets | Apr 08 07:15 |
MinceR | well, sometimes it gets a little sluggish | Apr 08 07:15 |
MinceR | also, i couldn't get the armhf qemu binaries to run for x86 or arm guests | Apr 08 07:16 |
MinceR | maybe i didn't have enough memory | Apr 08 07:16 |
MinceR | a dualboot-capable rom would solve the UI problems and free up memory for GNU | Apr 08 07:18 |
MinceR | eventually | Apr 08 07:18 |

DaemonFC | I've got an offer on one of my really old computers. | Apr 08 21:30 |
DaemonFC | I put it on Craigslist for $30 just to get rid of it. It would never run a version of Windows newer than XP, but it could still run Xubuntu or something and make a really nice computer for web browsing and older video games. | Apr 08 21:30 |
DaemonFC | Most of the stuff on Good Old Games runs in Wine (software), and there's so many old games that I could never have afforded new that are like $5 now, with no DRM. | Apr 08 21:30 |
DaemonFC | Wine has gotten to the point where it's really a better Windows than Windows, especially with the PlayOnLinux front end. | Apr 08 21:30 |
DaemonFC | People just don't appreciate what an old computer can really do. They lose their value very fast because the current version of Windows is a big bloated behemoth that barely runs on some systems that are quite fast. | Apr 08 21:30 |
DaemonFC | Swapping out Windows for GNU/Linux is like telling a person that they can either carry 1,000 pounds of dead weight up a hill or trim it down to the 50 pounds of essentials. Windows really is quite awful. I refuse to ever touch it again. | Apr 08 21:30 |

DaemonFC | So, let me get this straight. Someone who got through school after managing to flunk basic math has an $849 phone. | Apr 09 08:26 |
DaemonFC | One wonders how these people do that. They can't all be Walmart managers, can they? | Apr 09 08:26 |

schestowitz__ | I wonder what they say.. | Apr 10 05:47 |
Sosumi | I can | Apr 10 05:47 |
Sosumi | HAVE you ever wondered what happened to Linux? Linux is the free software created through the open source development process that many technology enthusiasts had predicted would revolutionize the world of computing. | Apr 10 05:48 |
Sosumi | It may not be widely known, but Linux did revolutionize computing. If you own an Android phone or a Kindle e-reader, you are a Linux user. Linux is at the core of those popular devices and is found in a variety of other places, from the world’s most powerful supercomputers down to the tiny Raspberry Pi device that is a favorite among electronics hobbyists. | Apr 10 05:48 |
Sosumi | But Linux has had less success in personal computers. Fewer than 2 percent of desktop or laptop computers run it, according to a survey by Net Applications. That could be because for the bulk of Windows and Mac users, switching entirely to Linux probably does not make sense. But exploring Linux could still be worth the time for those looking for a proven, low-cost alternative to the two mainstream operating systems. | Apr 10 05:48 |
Sosumi | Installing Linux as the main operating system on a spare computer is one way to explore it. Some versions can also run live on a CD or DVD, but a more flexible choice may be to run it “virtually.” That way, it can run within Windows or Mac OS X and a variety of Linux versions can be installed. Programs like VirtualBox or VMware Fusion make this possible. | Apr 10 05:48 |
Sosumi | To do this, you will need to figure out a few things. Does your computer have a 32-bit or 64-bit processor? (Most newer ones are 64-bit, but Linux is available for either.) And you may need to enable your processor’s virtualization capabilities. If you become stuck, plenty of online tutorials are available to help. | Apr 10 05:48 |
Sosumi | There are many types of Linux. At their core, many are the same. But their interfaces and applications may differ, as well as the level of support from the open-source community. | Apr 10 05:48 |
Sosumi | Bodhi Linux is all about minimalism and performance. This makes it an option for older or “low-end” systems. The desktop setup, called Enlightenment, is frugal with resources while offering an eye-catching and straightforward experience. The desktop is free of clutter, the task bar is well organized and menus are easy to navigate. The other stated ideal of Bodhi is choice. While only a basic set of applications are installed by default, | Apr 10 05:48 |
Sosumi | users can download more from an AppCenter with free software organized in categories like office, education and multimedia. | Apr 10 05:48 |
Sosumi | Linux Mint offers a choice of desktop environments, including one called Cinnamon. A Mac or Windows user may find Cinnamon intuitive to navigate. There is a task bar along the bottom, with a menu button on the left that provides access to applications, system settings and folders. A number of useful programs can be installed by default, like LibreOffice, an Office-like software set; the Firefox browser; Adobe Flash for media like YouTube vi | Apr 10 05:48 |
Sosumi | deos; Thunderbird for mail; Pidgin for instant messaging; and GIMP for image editing. A built-in Software Manager provides a way to download and install many more applications. | Apr 10 05:48 |
Sosumi | Ubuntu is one of the more widely known versions of Linux and also one of the simplest to install. An installation program can replace an existing system or, in some cases, set Ubuntu to be an option when a computer starts up. The desktop environment, called Unity, has a tablet-like look. | Apr 10 05:48 |
Sosumi | Ubuntu comes with a collection of installed applications like Firefox and LibreOffice. It also has an online storage feature called Ubuntu One, with five gigabytes of free storage for photos, music and other files; access to these can be made from within Ubuntu or across devices like phones, Macs and PCs. If you are not a fan of the Unity layout, you can try Xubuntu and Lubuntu for a more familiar look. | Apr 10 05:48 |
Sosumi | Fedora was started in 2003 as an offshoot of Red Hat Linux. Still sponsored by Red Hat Inc., Fedora has gained a reputation as a testing ground for features that may end up in Red Hat Enterprise Linux. New editions are released frequently, and the current version, Fedora 20, is available with a choice of desktop environments. | Apr 10 05:48 |
Sosumi | The Gnome 3 environment, the default, departs from tradition: The user is presented with an empty desktop area and no task bar, dock or “Start” button. Clicking the Activities item in the top left corner will reveal applications and other options, including a search box for finding documents, contacts and other items. Fedora comes with installed programs like Firefox, Evolution mail, Rhythmbox for music and Shotwell for managing photos. | Apr 10 05:48 |
Sosumi | Elementary OS is another Linux flavor that aims for ease of use and performance — as well as smoothness. Elementary OS also includes a few Mac-like elements, like a dock at the bottom of the screen and “hot corners” for fast switching to different work spaces. | Apr 10 05:49 |
Sosumi | Of course numerous other types of Linux are available. For more technical versions, consider options like Slackware and Arch. Or, if you prefer baby steps, take a look at Zorin, which emulates aspects of Windows. And if you cannot find a type of Linux you like, you can always create your own with options like Linux From Scratch or Ubuntu Builder. | Apr 10 05:49 |
Sosumi | Linux is not for everyone. But if you feel constrained by Windows or Mac OS X, it can offer a way out. And if you enjoy choice and flexibility, you just may become hooked. | Apr 10 05:49 |

Sosumi | not some, ALL | Apr 10 06:06 |
Sosumi | and I also got some weird bugs with opencl | Apr 10 06:07 |

schestowitz__ | Not ignoring ODF and such strategic things? | Apr 10 06:09 |
schestowitz__ | Anyway, Linux got better since apple's 10.6 days | Apr 10 06:09 |
schestowitz__ | Visually we've come a long way | Apr 10 06:09 |
schestowitz__ | so choosing OSuX for themes ain't that rational | Apr 10 06:09 |
schestowitz__ | It would have been the only reason for me to ever choose OSuX | Apr 10 06:10 |
schestowitz__ | The same goes for hypeOS | Apr 10 06:10 |
schestowitz__ | Android has good appearance | Apr 10 06:10 |
Sosumi | choosing osx for the GUI is a huge mistake | Apr 10 06:10 |
schestowitz__ | so at skin-deep level Apple lost it | Apr 10 06:10 |
schestowitz__ | Sosumi: some people associate pretty with easy | Apr 10 06:10 |
Sosumi | and the internals of the OS are kind of a mess | Apr 10 06:10 |
Sosumi | for example in regards with opencl, you'll get a overall 20% difference between osx and linux/windows | Apr 10 06:11 |
Sosumi | simply due to the fact that apple is slow if ignorant to put there vendor specific features and/or kept drivers up to date | Apr 10 06:12 |

cubezzz | simple simple stuff like running old scanners under win2000 was a problem too | Apr 10 10:21 |
cubezzz | they (HP) didn't bother supporting win2000 for SCL scanners | Apr 10 10:21 |
cubezzz | they said (paraphrasing) "too bad, this isn't the answer you like, buy a new scanner" | Apr 10 10:22 |
cubezzz | so yeah, end of XP, so what, I never used it once | Apr 10 10:23 |
cubezzz | want to see how easy it is to write to scanner in Linux? | Apr 10 10:26 |
cubezzz | http://www.cubeman.org/scanner/scantest2.c | Apr 10 10:27 |
Sosumi | creative didn't bother either in supplying versions of their sound card controlling software that worked on xp | Apr 10 10:29 |
Sosumi | during the transition from 98 to xp back then | Apr 10 10:29 |
Sosumi | so folks using the live 5.1 and the original audigy cards had to buy an audigy 2 | Apr 10 10:30 |
Sosumi | sound card | Apr 10 10:30 |
Sosumi | or just use the driver they made available | Apr 10 10:30 |
Sosumi | with no controlling software | Apr 10 10:30 |
Sosumi | nor EAX for sound effects in games | Apr 10 10:30 |

cubezzz | creative did give out some datasheets, I can't remember which ones | Apr 10 10:40 |
cubezzz | CT4810 PCI works, VIA AC97 works | Apr 10 10:41 |
cubezzz | probably there driver support is crap for linux though | Apr 10 10:43 |
cubezzz | s/there/their/ | Apr 10 10:43 |
cubezzz | Thomas Sailer wrote the driver for ensoniq, it's totally open source | Apr 10 10:47 |
Sosumi | their linux initiative had always been joke | Apr 10 10:54 |
Sosumi | and that has been defunct since 2005 | Apr 10 10:55 |
Sosumi | their audigy 2 parts from 2003 never saw a gnu/linux release | Apr 10 10:56 |
Sosumi | and I can confirm that | Apr 10 10:56 |
cubezzz | ok, after a quick look it seems that Live 5.1 has decent support | Apr 10 10:56 |
Sosumi | since I had back then one of their higher end audigy cards | Apr 10 10:56 |
Sosumi | the audigy 2 platinum ex | Apr 10 10:57 |
Sosumi | live, 128bit pci, etc | Apr 10 10:57 |
Sosumi | probably the original audigy too | Apr 10 10:57 |

Sosumi | why bother in getting a sound card with an integrated headphone amp | Apr 10 12:29 |

msb_ | Didn't the 6809 chip emulate the PDP-11 architecture to some extent? Lots of registers... | Apr 11 07:20 |
cubezzz | the old PDP-11 series were slow, and ate a lot of power | Apr 11 07:20 |
msb_ | But no virtual memory. | Apr 11 07:20 |
cubezzz | hmmm, not really | Apr 11 07:21 |
cubezzz | 6809 was 8-bit with a few 16-bit features | Apr 11 07:21 |
msb_ | I'm working on a C program in which I have to allocate zillions of little strings. Should I just call malloc, or would it be a lot faster for me to allocate them myself out of a megabyte array? How fast is malloc? | Apr 11 07:22 |
msb_ | ...in Linux/gcc, of course. | Apr 11 07:23 |
cubezzz | PDP-11 to Motorola 68000 there's some influence | Apr 11 07:23 |
cubezzz | malloc is for big stuff | Apr 11 07:25 |
cubezzz | e.g. you need a big chunk of memory you use malloc | Apr 11 07:25 |
cubezzz | arrays for smaller stuff | Apr 11 07:25 |
cubezzz | I think just using the stack is faster than malloc | Apr 11 07:26 |
msb_ | Use the stack as a heap? (vague recollection) How? | Apr 11 07:27 |
cubezzz | no, I just mean using the stack is faster | Apr 11 07:27 |
msb_ | These strings are going to be pointed to from structs which will be pointed to by an array. | Apr 11 07:28 |
cubezzz | assuming you don't overflow the stack :) | Apr 11 07:28 |
msb_ | I'm reading that xml file into a zillions of structs with strings attached | Apr 11 07:29 |
msb_ | actually, arrays of strings. | Apr 11 07:29 |
msb_ | I should do it the simplest way. Maybe it will be fast enough. If not, then I'll make my own mini-super-malloc. | Apr 11 07:30 |

cubezzz | folks are such troglodytes when it comes to operating systems | Apr 11 13:18 |
Sosumi | what stopwatch? | Apr 11 13:23 |
Sosumi | seems like no one ever heard of synthetic benchmarks | Apr 11 13:23 |
Sosumi | nor frame rates | Apr 11 13:23 |
Sosumi | nor watercooling nor non reference coolers | Apr 11 13:24 |
Sosumi | also what I said yesterday of xp pre spi | Apr 11 13:24 |
Sosumi | was because you could basically execute a script through the browser to edit the registry | Apr 11 13:25 |
Sosumi | another thing DrPizza_ forgot to mention in his piece about why everyone loves windows xp | Apr 11 13:25 |
cubezzz | I never used XP | Apr 11 14:13 |
cubezzz | it was Redhat 6.1 that I started to really notice linux | Apr 11 14:16 |
cubezzz | Ryerson was using Darkstar Linux 0.99 in some courses | Apr 11 14:17 |
cubezzz | http://www.maxhost.org/other/redhat-6.2.png | Apr 11 14:30 |
Sosumi | I never really used xp either | Apr 11 14:51 |
Sosumi | other than on a gaming pc I had at that time | Apr 11 14:51 |
Sosumi | just for gaming | Apr 11 14:51 |
Sosumi | but I remember much of those issues including remote shutdowns | Apr 11 14:58 |
Sosumi | because all the computers at my school, well, were on xp | Apr 11 14:58 |
cubezzz | all of them, no exceptions? | Apr 11 15:01 |
Sosumi | a system 7 mac | Apr 11 15:08 |
Sosumi | that escaped the renewal at the time | Apr 11 15:09 |

sebsebseb | MinceR: isn't it fun getting new stuff for the computer :d | Apr 11 15:12 |
MinceR | uh huh | Apr 11 15:12 |

sebsebseb | yep | Apr 11 15:13 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: how about a mouse with a very nice thumb rest and it's on the side/up0right | Apr 11 15:16 |

MinceR | if it's a good gaming mouse, sure | Apr 11 15:16 |
sebsebseb | welll I bought that | Apr 11 15:16 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: I was a bit unsure about the price | Apr 11 15:16 |
sebsebseb | ,but I guess worth it really | Apr 11 15:16 |
sebsebseb | it's not a standard mouse | Apr 11 15:17 |
MinceR | i still don't know if i prefer optical or laser | Apr 11 15:17 |
sebsebseb | I think other htan the things I just put though that it's just a optical really though | Apr 11 15:17 |
cubezzz | another odd thing, I don't think too many people know about this, the whole processes as files thing was from Unix version 8 | Apr 11 15:17 |
MinceR | /proc? | Apr 11 15:17 |
cubezzz | yes | Apr 11 15:17 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: also a keyboard with two USB ports on the back on the right, which is nice, but it's nice also, because well | Apr 11 15:17 |
cubezzz | a Bell Labs invention | Apr 11 15:18 |
sebsebseb | MinceR: ok it's made for Windows reallyk, got a lot of hot keys to | Apr 11 15:18 |
sebsebseb | so I was unsure what would work with Linux | Apr 11 15:18 |
sebsebseb | realyk, but well | Apr 11 15:18 |

sebsebseb | volume control buttons work nicely | Apr 11 15:18 |
sebsebseb | and I am not sure about the other hot keys yet | Apr 11 15:18 |
MinceR | you can bind them anyway | Apr 11 15:19 |
sebsebseb | what do you mean | Apr 11 15:19 |
sebsebseb | bind use for what is wanted? | Apr 11 15:19 |
sebsebseb | change the layout a bit? | Apr 11 15:19 |

oiaohm | boy the recent openssl error has caused a nice big mess. | Apr 12 08:38 |
cubezzz | oiaohm, got a question for you | Apr 12 08:42 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: what is the question. | Apr 12 08:42 |
cubezzz | do you know what virtio_console does? | Apr 12 08:43 |
cubezzz | remember we were talking about the linux text console getting corrupted? | Apr 12 08:43 |
cubezzz | I'm still looking for ways to reset the text console | Apr 12 08:43 |
cubezzz | even when I shutdown X and restart it using a different driver (e.g. vesa) it still doesn't reset the text console | Apr 12 08:44 |
cubezzz | there's /sys/class/vtconsole/vtcon0/name | Apr 12 08:45 |
cubezzz | and it shows (S) VGA+ | Apr 12 08:45 |
cubezzz | for (S)ystem driver | Apr 12 08:45 |
cubezzz | but there's a (M)odular driver too | Apr 12 08:45 |

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-seife.kernalert.de | Using virtio console with KVM « seife’s assorted rants [ http://ur1.ca/amb73 ] | Apr 12 08:46 | |
cubezzz | yeah I read that | Apr 12 08:46 |
oiaohm | Did you note the tty bit. | Apr 12 08:46 |
oiaohm | Its going to be interesting when the Linux console code is moved to userspace. | Apr 12 08:47 |
cubezzz | yeah I did what they said actually | Apr 12 08:47 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: tty is a use a seriel like console. | Apr 12 08:47 |
oiaohm | Not the normal framebuffer | Apr 12 08:47 |
oiaohm | Yes serial consoles reset differently. | Apr 12 08:48 |
cubezzz | but... what is console=hcv0 ? | Apr 12 08:48 |
cubezzz | I thought modprobe virtio_console would do something different but everything seems to be the same still | Apr 12 08:48 |
oiaohm | hcv0 is the device | Apr 12 08:48 |
cubezzz | yes, it's mentioned in virtio_console.c | Apr 12 08:50 |
cubezzz | but I have no /dev/hcv0 | Apr 12 08:51 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: fedora has better instructions. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/VirtioSerial | Apr 12 08:53 |
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-fedoraproject.org | Features/VirtioSerial - FedoraProject [ http://ur1.ca/h2agi ] | Apr 12 08:53 | |
oiaohm | cubezzz: when you start the virtual instance you have to declare how many virtio consoles you will have. | Apr 12 08:53 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: if you have declared none their will be none. | Apr 12 08:54 |
oiaohm | Basically virtio console is seperate to the vtcon0 | Apr 12 08:55 |
cubezzz | oh this seems to be related to virtualization | Apr 12 08:56 |
cubezzz | I did an experiment switching from radeon to vesa and back | Apr 12 08:57 |
cubezzz | it effected the text console, but didn't fix it | Apr 12 08:57 |
cubezzz | I guess it doesn't really matter too much, I can just ssh in if I'm X or the text console messes up | Apr 12 08:59 |
cubezzz | the text console never really stops or resets as far as I can see | Apr 12 08:59 |
msb_ | cubezzz: Have you tried typing (blindly, if you're not seeing an echo) stty sane ? | Apr 12 09:01 |
cubezzz | oh yeah I can still login and the screen changes | Apr 12 09:02 |
cubezzz | I can't really see what I'm doing but I know I'm logged in | Apr 12 09:02 |
cubezzz | sometimes it's all vertical bars | Apr 12 09:02 |
cubezzz | it happens (rarely) when I run some old Loki games | Apr 12 09:03 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: is your card a old ATI. | Apr 12 09:03 |
cubezzz | ATI Radeon 9550 AGP | Apr 12 09:04 |
cubezzz | I guess it's kind of old | Apr 12 09:04 |

oiaohm | cubezzz: I kinda suspected so. | Apr 12 09:06 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: dieing ATI radeon cards go down in the same creativity. | Apr 12 09:06 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: ati cards loss the means to draw text. | Apr 12 09:07 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: as their gpu starts dieing. | Apr 12 09:07 |
cubezzz | huh | Apr 12 09:07 |
cubezzz | it's been like this for years | Apr 12 09:08 |
cubezzz | about once or twice a month I lose the text console | Apr 12 09:08 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: and you have had your ATI card overheated once right. | Apr 12 09:09 |
cubezzz | I bought it used around 2010 I think | Apr 12 09:09 |
cubezzz | it's possible | Apr 12 09:09 |
cubezzz | is there any card you recommend that doesn't overheat that would work on this p3 AGP box? | Apr 12 09:10 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: I don't use second hand cards. | Apr 12 09:11 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: I don't know of any new AGP | Apr 12 09:11 |
cubezzz | ah | Apr 12 09:11 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: switching from x11 to console and back sometimes can go south with older cards as well. | Apr 12 09:12 |
oiaohm | but if that is the case if you have set up SAK that will cure a Linux kernel mess up. | Apr 12 09:12 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/SAK.txt | Apr 12 09:13 |
oiaohm | but if it the card itself SAK will not fix it. | Apr 12 09:13 |
oiaohm | Also if it the card ssh login in and attempt to trigger resets will not work either. | Apr 12 09:14 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: the issue you describe match ATI card that has been overheated. | Apr 12 09:14 |
cubezzz | ah I see | Apr 12 09:14 |
MinceR | geekings | Apr 12 09:14 |
cubezzz | well, that would explain it | Apr 12 09:14 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: mind you an old nvidia is more creative. | Apr 12 09:14 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: old nvidia that has been overheated starts reporting as a intel video card. | Apr 12 09:15 |
cubezzz | I have another old p3 that ran for over a year without messing up (switching from text to X and back) | Apr 12 09:16 |
cubezzz | but that was using the vesa driver on openbsd | Apr 12 09:16 |
cubezzz | never messed up the text console at least | Apr 12 09:16 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: if it dead ati it will also mess up running openbsd. | Apr 12 09:17 |
cubezzz | oiaohm, this not dead though | Apr 12 09:17 |
cubezzz | it's | Apr 12 09:17 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: half-dead | Apr 12 09:17 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: ati cards pretend to be alive | Apr 12 09:17 |
cubezzz | X always works... only the text console messes up | Apr 12 09:17 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: text console is allocated in the same ram in the video card all the time. | Apr 12 09:17 |
cubezzz | well I suppose it's not 100% functional | Apr 12 09:18 |
cubezzz | but I wouldn't say it's dead | Apr 12 09:18 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: there is a reason why I said dead. | Apr 12 09:19 |
msb_ | cubezzz: It's old and had a stroke. | Apr 12 09:19 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: text console goes first. X11 will follow. | Apr 12 09:19 |
oiaohm | msb_: had a stroke and due for another one. | Apr 12 09:19 |
msb_ | oiaohm: Thanks for the SAK page! I've known about Alt-SysReq, but not SAK. | Apr 12 09:20 |
oiaohm | msb_: alt-sysreq is very bad to use. | Apr 12 09:22 |
oiaohm | msb_: but when desperate you use anything. | Apr 12 09:22 |
cubezzz | oiaohm, I will check back in 10 years :) | Apr 12 09:23 |
cubezzz | if it still works in 10 years then you'll need to revise your opinion :) | Apr 12 09:23 |
msb_ | oiaohm: Any kind of rebooting is bad for me, because I have to set up the directories in about 60 konsoles/mcs in 20 virtual desktops. | Apr 12 09:24 |
cubezzz | I have video cards much older and they didn't mess up like that at all | Apr 12 09:25 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: notice I said ati its a particular geneartion of atis. | Apr 12 09:25 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: the 9xxx stuff and the 8xxx stuff. | Apr 12 09:25 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: all suffer from overheating stuffing the mmu on the video card. | Apr 12 09:26 |
cubezzz | ah well, you are probably right then | Apr 12 09:26 |
oiaohm | and once its started its progressive. | Apr 12 09:26 |
cubezzz | the only question is how long it will continue to work | Apr 12 09:26 |
msb_ | Eventually all you can get from it is, "I had jello today." | Apr 12 09:27 |
oiaohm | Normally before X11 stops working on them the bios screens become unreadable. | Apr 12 09:27 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: yes yes dieing ati gets wrong. | Apr 12 09:27 |
cubezzz | oiaohm, have you seen this: | Apr 12 09:28 |
cubezzz | http://www.maxhost.org/other/openbsd-icewm-with-mwm.png | Apr 12 09:28 |
cubezzz | it's a shame about ati | Apr 12 09:29 |
cubezzz | I used to think their engineering was really good | Apr 12 09:29 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: really there were. | Apr 12 09:29 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: just they got a little too close to limit in particular generations. | Apr 12 09:30 |
oiaohm | And if you never overheat them they would have lasted. | Apr 12 09:30 |
msb_ | oiaohm: Why is alt-sysreq bad to use? | Apr 12 09:30 |
cubezzz | I doubt I worked this card too hard | Apr 12 09:30 |
cubezzz | the previous owner might have | Apr 12 09:31 |
oiaohm | msb_: alt-sysreq fails to free up ram correctly when you trigger its sak. | Apr 12 09:31 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: that is the problem with ATI cards of those generations. | Apr 12 09:31 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: you need the full life history 1 overhead and they will die. | Apr 12 09:31 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: yes you now know why I don't touch second hand video cards. | Apr 12 09:32 |
cubezzz | oiaohm, I have ati vga wonders that still work :) | Apr 12 09:32 |
cubezzz | it's an interesting problem though, hard reset brings the text console back | Apr 12 09:33 |
cubezzz | heck, there's still some S100 video cards that still work | Apr 12 09:33 |
cubezzz | age is only one factor | Apr 12 09:34 |
msb_ | cubezzz: Have you tried "stty sane" or "Alt-SysReq R" | Apr 12 09:34 |
cubezzz | msb_, I've tried everything yeah | Apr 12 09:34 |
cubezzz | my guess would be some piece of video memory is getting over-written | Apr 12 09:35 |
cubezzz | sometimes I see text but it's very faint | Apr 12 09:35 |
cubezzz | sometimes it's vertical bars | Apr 12 09:35 |
cubezzz | sometimes the text console looks like a messed up X session :) | Apr 12 09:36 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: so far perfect description of dieing ati. | Apr 12 09:36 |
cubezzz | you would think resetting the text console would be easy to do | Apr 12 09:37 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: when an ati starts up it zeros it memory. | Apr 12 09:37 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: or thoese old ones did. | Apr 12 09:37 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: so unstable ram gets made functional for a little bit. | Apr 12 09:38 |
oiaohm | And that little bit is a very random value. | Apr 12 09:38 |
oiaohm | anything from 5 mins to 10 days. | Apr 12 09:38 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: thinking I leave computers running with text console only and no x11. | Apr 12 09:39 |
oiaohm | and running for months at a time. | Apr 12 09:39 |
oiaohm | sometimes years. | Apr 12 09:39 |
cubezzz | my utility power doesn't seem good enough for years :-/ | Apr 12 09:39 |
cubezzz | but I've done 380 days | Apr 12 09:39 |
cubezzz | I have this Dell GX110 with some intel video chipset | Apr 12 09:40 |
cubezzz | it doesn't mess up... one year running and still fine | Apr 12 09:40 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: my sad record is a lost server. | Apr 12 09:40 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: 6 years without rebooting. | Apr 12 09:40 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: kinda highly insecure by that point. | Apr 12 09:41 |
cubezzz | but... I assume that you weren't switching from text to X and back? | Apr 12 09:41 |
cubezzz | although I guess that shouldn't matter | Apr 12 09:41 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: it did not even have a video card. | Apr 12 09:41 |
oiaohm | serial console only. | Apr 12 09:42 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: I have some true server hardware. | Apr 12 09:42 |
cubezzz | any opinion on what would be the most durable video card? | Apr 12 09:42 |
msb_ | When DRAM chips first came out -- 1024bits IIRC -- mfrs talked about taking care that the epoxy encapsulant didn't contain any radioactives that could emit alpha particles and flip bits. | Apr 12 09:42 |
oiaohm | No video card and just a serial port would be the most durable. | Apr 12 09:43 |
oiaohm | msb_: there is no such thing as a materials that are 100 percent not radioactive. | Apr 12 09:43 |
cubezzz | what I really want is a computer that always works | Apr 12 09:44 |
msb_ | oiaohm: Sure, but they reduced it to a billion years MTBF or some such. | Apr 12 09:44 |
cubezzz | I have to say this old Dell has been pretty good | Apr 12 09:45 |
cubezzz | I'd settle for 100 years :) | Apr 12 09:45 |
msb_ | Yes, but with 1024bits/chip they needed a lot of chips per machine. | Apr 12 09:46 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: http://www.coreboot.org/Serial_console you are after solid. Motherboard that supports coreboot without onboard video card. Setup for serial remove video card. | Apr 12 09:47 |
-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.coreboot.org | Serial console - coreboot | Apr 12 09:47 | |
oiaohm | cubezzz: Yes I do this horible to servers. | Apr 12 09:48 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: it also removes a lot of tampering. | Apr 12 09:48 |
cubezzz | yes, for a server that's fine | Apr 12 09:48 |
cubezzz | I'll definitely try that for the server | Apr 12 09:49 |
cubezzz | but I also write openmotif stuff | Apr 12 09:49 |
cubezzz | and run a few games | Apr 12 09:49 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: its the old theory the least number of parts to screw up the better. | Apr 12 09:50 |
cubezzz | yes, coreboot is good, I use it sometimes | Apr 12 09:50 |
msb_ | But then you're left with reading a good book. | Apr 12 09:50 |
oiaohm | msb_: there is another advantage to using serial | Apr 12 09:51 |
oiaohm | serial data loggers. | Apr 12 09:51 |
oiaohm | to create a log the OS cannot delete. | Apr 12 09:51 |
cubezzz | oiaohm, you know I think I even have an EGA wonder that still works | Apr 12 09:51 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: I have an old s3 trio around here somehere and an old tnt2 | Apr 12 09:52 |
msb_ | Save that old stuff. If we have a CME or GRB they may be the only computers left that work! | Apr 12 09:53 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: all the video cards I have since then I have killed. | Apr 12 09:53 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: 3d rendering for days at a time they did not like. | Apr 12 09:54 |
oiaohm | cubezzz I get about 4 to 5 years out a videocard. | Apr 12 09:55 |
msb_ | When computers become conscious that will be a crime. | Apr 12 09:56 |
cubezzz | yeah I have an old Jaton AGP card that's been running 24/7 in the server for a long time | Apr 12 09:58 |
cubezzz | at least 10 years | Apr 12 09:58 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: I guess no heavy lifting. | Apr 12 09:58 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: my video cards have to put up with blender and equal running flat stack. | Apr 12 09:58 |

oiaohm | cubezzz: lot of motherboards with stock bios don't boot without video card. | Apr 12 10:06 |
cubezzz | I'm sure the computer would run cooler with no video card | Apr 12 10:06 |
oiaohm | cubezzz: correct | Apr 12 10:06 |

msb_ | People were really much more friendly and interesting when most people were smoking cannabis in the 1960s. The whole culture was much better. | Apr 12 14:45 |
cubezzz | except for the computer part :) | Apr 12 14:45 |
msb_ | Right -- there weren't any. | Apr 12 14:46 |
cubezzz | also no unix in the 60's unless you count UNICUS | Apr 12 14:46 |
MinceR | afaik violence rates were higher in the 1960s | Apr 12 14:46 |
cubezzz | lots of computers in the 60 | Apr 12 14:47 |
cubezzz | 's | Apr 12 14:47 |
cubezzz | Burroughs B5500 | Apr 12 14:47 |
msb_ | I loved the idea of a computer designed for a high-level language. I bought the manual for the B5500. | Apr 12 14:47 |
cubezzz | grab your light pen and go :) | Apr 12 14:48 |
msb_ | I built a lightpen for the LINC computer. | Apr 12 14:48 |
cubezzz | IBM 1130 was relatively cheap | Apr 12 14:48 |
msb_ | How cheap? | Apr 12 14:50 |
cubezzz | oh about $41,000 if you wanted a disk drive | Apr 12 14:51 |
msb_ | And those dollars were probably worth at least 5 of the current ones. | Apr 12 14:52 |
cubezzz | IBM 2310, stores 512,000 words | Apr 12 14:52 |
cubezzz | PDP-8 would be cheaper | Apr 12 14:53 |
cubezzz | $18,000 | Apr 12 14:53 |
msb_ | Anyhow, now we have computers, Linux, *and* cannabis. | Apr 12 14:53 |
msb_ | People should be able to wake up and throw off the organized psychopaths. | Apr 12 14:54 |
cubezzz | if I could I'd time-warp back to the 60's for a day or so | Apr 12 14:54 |
cubezzz | an interesting era for computers | Apr 12 14:54 |
msb_ | Well, we can do everything on a PC now that a B5500 or B6600 could do back then, but a lot faster and a lot cheaper. | Apr 12 14:55 |
msb_ | Even though we have software pointers to the stack chain instead of hardware ones. | Apr 12 14:56 |
msb_ | ALGOL-60 was a great leap forward. I had an ALGOL60 license plate! | Apr 12 14:57 |
cubezzz | IBM 1130 could actually be put into the home without too much difficulty | Apr 12 14:57 |
