●● IRC: #techrights @ Techrights IRC Network: Thursday, May 26, 2022 ●● ● May 26 [00:14] activelow Coda distributed filesystem contains c++, and various other clutter... didn't pass [00:15] activelow then, encountered many Kernel-internal API changes which prevent easy forward-porting of shfs and e2comp, which is sad to say the least [00:16] activelow e2comp and shfs (not sshfs, shfs was the kernel-2.4/2.6 variant) were my preferred choice over any other option [00:17] activelow fuse doesn't convince me, the userspace parts in particular (gnomeified glib in fuse for example), in comparison the userspace part fusemount of shfs was simple and sane [00:18] activelow linux kernel internally changed the APIs for .read .write filesystem operations, with some iterator callbacks, which i wouldn't know what this is useful for, in essence this is what's breaking the patches [00:19] activelow of cause, it is possible to re-implement it... yet _testing_ and debugging of kernel changes is time-consuming [00:19] activelow the decision i made to today: trop overlayfs from kernel, drop ext4(!) support from kernel, drop wireguard support from kernel, and keep ext2 filesystem for compatibility/portability reasons [00:22] activelow it isn't as if i wouldn't question my own reasoning with it, particularly concerning filesystem choice of ext2 [00:27] activelow furthermore, i noticed reducing internal kernel dependencies by component removal such as crypto/wireguard/... did NOT reduce kernel image size significantly [00:28] activelow which makes me wonder, what those ~10MiB are (with all modules statically included) [00:28] DaemonFC And I'm doing toilet paper math again. [00:28] DaemonFC All of the sizes and prices have changed. [00:29] activelow by todays, standards 10MiB kernel size are not much, nonetheless, it is 4x the size of a kernel 2.4/2.6... so what happened to linux kernel which blew up kernel image size? [00:29] DaemonFC Drivers, mostly. [00:29] DaemonFC The addition of more file systems. [00:30] DaemonFC More CPU architectures supported. [00:30] activelow can't be, i removed almost everything possible, filesystems it is only ext2 remaining [00:30] activelow no, kernel image is compiled for exactly one architecture [00:30] DaemonFC Why would you use the ext2 driver? [00:30] DaemonFC It's orphaned. [00:30] activelow meaning the final binary image size should have not increased by x4 in comparison to version 2.4/2.6 [00:30] DaemonFC It's going to be dropped eventually. It gets enough fixes to keep it working, for now. [00:31] DaemonFC Fedora already dropped Ext2 and Ext3 drivers from the kernel. [00:31] activelow DaemonFC: ext2 for stability/portability/compatibility reasons [00:31] DaemonFC The Ext4 driver can handle Ext2 and Ext3 even without changing the on disk format. [00:31] DaemonFC And it has an improved block allocator. [00:31] activelow and i hoped for e2compr patchset could apply.... yet internal kernal APIs for filesystem operations changed [00:32] activelow yes, but ext4 depends on more stuff inside kernel, and i do not trust ext4, too many changes [00:32] DaemonFC The old block allocator in the Ext2 and Ext3 drivers should not be used. [00:32] DaemonFC Especially on older computers. [00:32] activelow and most important: ext2 got e2compr patchset, ext4 with a shi**load of features hasn't got... [00:33] DaemonFC They slow down disk access and spam the CPU with hundreds of thousands of block allocation requests and they increase disk fragmentation. [00:33] activelow sadly, linux kernel developers managed to brick e2compr patchset, i wouldn't blame e2compr, i blame linux kernel [00:33] activelow DaemonFC: i am planning to mount ext2 synchronous, -o sync... which is even slower [00:33] activelow didn't test this yet, changes are i will do it if it is fast enough [00:33] activelow chances [00:34] DaemonFC The multiblock allocator in the Ext4 driver all by itself is reason enough to prune the obsolete Ext2 and Ext3 drivers from the kernel. [00:34] DaemonFC Many people will mistakenly use the older drivers and the performance of the entire computer will suffer because of them. [00:34] activelow anyway, linux kernel bricked version2.4/2.6 patches: e2compr, shfs, linux kernel blew up in binary image size quadrupled round about... with nothing of interest for me added to it since then [00:34] XRevan86 Stable API nonsense? Nay! Stable patchset appliance nonsense. [00:35] DaemonFC The Ext4 driver is sufficiently stable. [00:35] activelow XRevan86: ext4 hasn't got compression support does it? [00:35] DaemonFC The code that handles the older file systems is mostly the code from the older file systems. [00:35] XRevan86 DaemonFC: Every codebase has an obligation to never change :) [00:35] DaemonFC So there's almost no chance of a regression, only benefit. [00:35] activelow this is, how awesome linux kernel is nowadays, excessively huge kernel image size, witch features lost which were available long before [00:35] activelow *with [00:36] activelow FUSE... maybe the kernel-parts are acceptable, the userspace part of fuse aren't [00:36] DaemonFC The best way to get the fs driver footprint down right now, today, is to delete Ext2, Ext3, and ReiserFS. [00:36] XRevan86 by available activelow means not available [00:36] activelow xfs... what a joke when scrolling the changelog (and some bug reports) of a supposedly stable filesystem such as XFS [00:37] DaemonFC The BtrFS driver is in much better shape in recent kernels than it was even 6-12 months ago. [00:37] XRevan86 activelow: bcachefs has compression. [00:37] activelow JFS, from IBM, slightly better... nonetheless... no compression support, only JFS1 for AIX [00:37] DaemonFC I've changed this laptop to use BtrFS on the SSD. [00:37] XRevan86 So does btrfs of course. [00:37] DaemonFC Although I still do use Ext4 on my external hard disk, which is due to various reasons. [00:38] XRevan86 activelow: Switch to the only true stable FS: reiser3. [00:38] XRevan86 It's so stable it's orphaned. [00:38] DaemonFC I used Ext4 on it as soon as I bought it, getting rid of NTFS. There are many files on it now. Restoring all of them after wiping the file system would take over a day. [00:38] XRevan86 No developments there, just ancient bugs left untouched for eons. [00:38] DaemonFC The Ext4 driver is extremely well tested now and unlikely to eat my data, even in a nasty corner case. We don't know about BtrFS. Why trust backups to it? [00:39] XRevan86 DaemonFC: Ext4 is not sufficiently dead, it's not worthy of consideration. [00:39] DaemonFC The BtrFS compression is good for my SSD because there's less write amplification and it saves space. It's a much smaller amount of space, therefore the compression is more useful. [00:40] DaemonFC Some Linux advice websites claim you should just use NTFS now that there's kernel support. This is wrong. [00:41] DaemonFC While it may be Windows and Mac compatible, the driver that made it into the kernel is in terrible shape and the alleged maintainer hasn't responded to his email in months, and by bypassing the normal inclusion process, the kernel maintainers stuck Linux with this piece of shit when it should have gone into staging where they could get rid of it again because it wasn't guaranteed to even be built in the main kernel tree. [00:42] DaemonFC And that's before we even begin to get into "Microsoft designed it. Why would you want important data on it? Even their official chkdsk corrupts it, ON WINDOWS. Almost three decades later.". [00:42] DaemonFC Or the patents. [00:43] DaemonFC While the core of NTFS is almost 30 years old, they keep tacking more garbage onto it and getting more patents. [00:43] DaemonFC So it's not legally safe to use. [00:43] DaemonFC Most of the "features" of NTFS that have been added in later years are counterproductive or even mostly useful if you're writing malware. [00:43] XRevan86 Mockery aside, expecting a patchset for Linux 2.0 to apply today is, without exaggeration, madness. [00:43] DaemonFC But without them, then sharing the volume with Windows is even sketchier. [00:44] DaemonFC Mockery aside, expecting a patchset for Linux 2.0 to apply today is, without exaggeration, madness. [00:44] DaemonFC They're hardly even the same kernel. [00:44] activelow DaemonFC: it isn't only ext4, it is APIs against which ext4 is developed... and some bugs were known... [00:45] DaemonFC You'd be hard pressed to find a significant part of a Linux 2.0 or 2.4 tree that hasn't been significantly modified or entirely rewritten or dropped since then. [00:45] XRevan86 Oh, actually, there's an update for Linux 3.4 [00:45] activelow i don't doubt it, it is tested, yet, ext4 hasn't got the features i wanted [00:45] XRevan86 But my point stands. [00:45] DaemonFC The Linux development was more haphazard back then. [00:46] DaemonFC I actually stayed on the Linux 2.4.x tree for some time because XFS was added to it by Marcello Tossati when Linus handed the 2.4 branch over to him. [00:46] DaemonFC So for a little while, it had a feature that the 2.6 branch didn't, which I wanted to use. [00:46] XRevan86 To think that the developers have to consider patchset appliance in their work on code is also madness. [00:46] activelow checking bcachefs... depends, what it wants, inside kernel... i do not accept the internal kernel crypto-api (not a final decision yet, although i do not want the in-kernel crypto api, compression should not need it) [00:47] DaemonFC Ideally, hardware vendors would just refuse to build anything that didn't have Fully Free drivers. [00:47] DaemonFC Then they could upgrade the kernel freely and not worry about it too much in their new firmwares. [00:47] DaemonFC And this LTS branch thing wouldn't be necessary. [00:47] activelow XRevan86: if internal kernal API stability was nonsense, then this is your _opinion_; fact is internal kernel APIs changed, and features are gone [00:47] TR News "The capsule has moved from SDF to tilde.team, this has allowed me more freedom to upload pictures and host particularly long text files. Yay~" gemini://tilde.team/~smokey/logs/2022-05-25-new-things.gmi [00:48] DaemonFC The entire reason for the LTS kernel branches is proprietary hardware drivers, mainly in Android phones. [00:48] activelow furthermore, i suspect, couldn't test because breakage, shfs was the better choice in comparison to FUSE [00:48] DaemonFC Android sucks, honestly. [00:48] TR News Gemini input, and improving client support gemini://gemini.thegonz.net/glog/220525-geminiInputClientSupport.gmi "I have a couple of things to say in Gemini's defence here, and a client UI suggestion." [00:49] activelow the prominent kernel-4.4 LTS, had my share of fun with it, because of some rockchip-related stuff... stability is something else than what kernel 4.4 was [00:49] activelow anyway, some other patch not easily applied: fbui in kernel framebuffer window management... [00:50] XRevan86 activelow: Even kernel *modules* need work to continue working. [00:50] activelow yaft userspace is realtively slow... just saying [00:50] XRevan86 activelow: .patch is simply doomed. [00:50] activelow .patch is a distribution method... agnostic towards kernel internal api changes [00:51] XRevan86 Right, it can break from *any* change. [00:51] activelow if APIs change... a merge or patch-apply do not differ that much, given the scale of "improvements" and changes [00:52] activelow anyway, what is the explanation for kernel binary image size quadrupling since kernel-2.4/2.6, with a comparable feature-set and module select? [00:52] activelow 3MiB uncompression against 12MiB uncompressed... why is that? i do NOT know. [00:52] activelow what are those f*cK**ng 8MiB of binary gibberish added to linux kernel binary image? [00:53] XRevan86 Remove all the new hardware support, should trim it down. [00:53] activelow already did that [00:53] XRevan86 Doubtful. [00:53] activelow IPv6 removed, crypto api removed ... i mean, that's even less than kernel-2.6 [00:54] activelow all virtualization removed, cgroups/namespace etc... i only keep network device drivers for the ethernet i got here [00:54] activelow there isn't anything remaining to remove [00:55] psydruid And it's still too big [00:55] psydruid Maybe it's time to remove Linux [00:55] activelow not too big in absolute numbers, relative to kernel 2.4/2.6 ... what are those additional 8MiB which quadruple kernel image size? [00:55] XRevan86 There's OpenBSD. [00:56] XRevan86 or NetBSD [00:56] XRevan86 Probably no FS compression though. [00:56] activelow with *BSD i do not accept the llvm/clang compiler choice of theirs, don't know which gcc version, i do not accept any later than gcc-4.7 [00:57] activelow and with linux-5.10, i fear, this will be the last version i was willing to accept, because of their compiler version bump requirement to gcc-5.x (since linux 5.14 iirc) [00:58] activelow and, no support for tinycc [00:59] IPFS IPFS downstream 60 minutes average 32.08 k/sec., IPFS upstream 5.03 average k/sec., average swarm size 393.35 ● May 26 [01:13] *AdmFubar (~mradmin@ngqaam7baxnug.irc) has joined #techrights [01:14] *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #techrights [01:14] *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has joined #techrights [01:15] *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #techrights [01:15] *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has joined #techrights [01:36] *gustaf has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [01:36] *gustaf (~gerikson@krkzi3rq7rhje.irc) has joined #techrights [01:37] TR News [Meme] The Recordings Must Have Accidentally Been Lost While Breaking the Rules | Techrights http://techrights.org/2022/05/25/nicest-tony/ | Gemini address: gemini://gemini.techrights.org/2022/05/25/nicest-tony/ [01:37] TR Bot [Meme] The Recordings Must Have Accidentally Been Lost While Breaking the Rules | Techrights [01:38] DaemonFC I might write another article about water filters. [01:38] DaemonFC The Big Berkey seems to be a bunch of boloney. [01:38] *bnchs has quit (connection closed) [01:39] *psydruid (~psydruid@jevhxkzmtrbww.irc) has left #techrights [01:40] DaemonFC They claim they don't run their filters through the NSF/ANSI testing because it would cost them $10,000 to test. However, their filter enclosure/water reservoir costs $387 for the 2.5 gallon Berkey and the filters cost $136.75 each in packs of 4. [01:41] DaemonFC And if you want it to remove fluoride, you have to buy another filter, and screw it onto the filter, and the add-on filters are sold out right now, but normally run $39.50 each. [01:41] DaemonFC So these aren't a cheap system and they could afford to run the tests if they wanted to. [01:41] DaemonFC Furthermore, they lose a lot of sales because it's illegal for them to sell into the California and Iowa markets without those certifications, so not paying for them costs them a lot of lost sales. [01:42] DaemonFC California has 39.5 million residents and Iowa has 3.1 million. [01:42] DaemonFC Amusingly, they say their products are legal in 49 states, so it's unclear whether California or Iowa isn't a state. [01:44] DaemonFC Three major lab tests of the Big Berkey were inconsistent, which might mean there's issues with quality control of the filters, and while they all agreed the Berkey was good at removing lead, they also agreed it only removed about 13% of chloroform. [01:44] DaemonFC The Berkey's manufacturer stated that it removes so much chloroform, it's impossible to detect what's left in a laboratory. [01:45] DaemonFC The Berkey website also appeals to nuts by promoting debunked anti-fluoride myths. [01:46] DaemonFC In fact, when Juneau, Alaska stopped fluoridating, they were one of the study subjects to see what would happen to children without fluoridated water. Dental cavities shot up 22% in the 2012 group of children vs the 2003 group. [01:46] DaemonFC And costs to treat the cavities themselves increased over 70% after adjusting for inflation. [01:48] DaemonFC The dentists are really busy fixing cavities that would have been prevented entirely or partially by the fluoridation the town chose to stop, so prices go up and it takes longer to get into the dentist. [01:48] DaemonFC They voted for a public health disaster. [01:48] DaemonFC In 2022, with no dental insurance, it can cost up to $650 to get one tooth filled at the average dentist in Illinois, where I live. [01:49] DaemonFC Mandy needed over 10 fillings. [01:49] DaemonFC I think it was like 11 fillings, but I can't be sure. It was awful. [01:49] DaemonFC And it was either that or lose the rest of his teeth and go into full dentures. [01:53] DaemonFC I could probably sink not having any fluoride in my water just because I'm pedantic about brushing my teeth with fluoride toothpaste and getting fluoride varnish applied to them 3 or 4 times a year. [01:55] DaemonFC Unless you're absolutely sure everyone in your family is brushing with fluoride toothpaste like they should and getting routine fluoride treatments, you should be very careful to avoid water filters that remove it from the water. [01:56] DaemonFC It's considered a public health measure because when you remove it from the water system, it's the children who don't brush right and eat lots of candy, and the poor and homeless, who suffer the most.

Works out to $6.29 USD per filter if you buy the Maxtra+ by the dozen, except they only filter 26.5 US gallons per filter. [11:26] DaemonFC The method that Brita GmbH uses in their Maxtra filter seems to be similar to the Brita Standard Filter that Clorox makes for the US Brita filters, which cost $4 each in packs of 6 and filter 40 US gallons of water each. [11:27] DaemonFC Activated Coconut Shell Carbon with Ion Exchange Resin and mesh on both ends to gather coarse particles on the inlet and to prevent flecks of carbon on the outlet. [11:28] DaemonFC I tore open an old US (Clorox) Brita standard filter that I was disposing of yesterday and it contains quite a lot of carbon and ion exchange resin. [11:29] DaemonFC By volume you get about 1/6th more total filtration material vs. a typical knockoff that fits the pitchers, and most of that difference appears to be in the quantity of ion exchange resin. [11:29] DaemonFC They're not poorly constructed, at all. [11:29] DaemonFC For the money, it's definitely worth going original Brita on the filters vs. trying to get Target or Home Depot filters or something. [11:30] DaemonFC Even a guy on YouTube tore into the generics and just found that there was "less stuff" inside the generics. He poured the contents into Dixie cups and weighed them, and the Brita had the most filtration media (carbon+resin) in it. [11:31] DaemonFC The competitors save money by screwing you out of filtration media. [11:32] DaemonFC Since the filter's ability to operate is in direct proportion to the amount of filtration media inside a filter, that means that there's no way those off brand filters perform the same as a Brita over the stated 40 gallon lifespan of each unit. [11:34] DaemonFC I would suggest that anyone who wants to compare should ask the off brand filter manufacturer for a Performance Data Sheet and compare it to the Brita. They're all required to list which contaminants they filter that they wish to make a claim for, and the average level of filtration efficacy over the stated life of the filter. [11:34] DaemonFC If they won't do that, something underhanded is going on. [11:37] DaemonFC It looks like the main difference between US Brita (Clorox, which also sells the same stuff in Canada and Mexico) and Brita GmbH (most of the rest of the world) is that Brita GmbH is charging about 23.7 cents per gallon to filter water using Maxtra and US Brita is charging about 10 or 11 cents per gallon for Standard or "Elite" (LongLast) filters. The US Brita is the superior model. [11:39] DaemonFC I doubt flow problems are common with either unit. Granular Activated Carbon+Ion Exchange Resin is hard to plug up unless you're trying to pack small granules together so tightly that you can make a PDS claim for lead removal. [11:39] DaemonFC If I was in Europe, I'd probably just import a US Brita system and a bunch of filters. ● May 26 [12:05] *activelow has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [12:05] *activelow (~activelow@c955v778j8pxq.irc) has joined #techrights [12:12] *kiki has quit (connection closed) [12:13] *kiki (~kiki@xeybr9fx3btrk.irc) has joined #techrights [12:22] *DaemonFC has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [12:22] *bnchs (~bnchs@wa6vamqrcwzdy.irc) has joined #techrights [12:30] IPFS Planet Gemini updated.

The other day at 7/11 in Chicago, I was with my spouse going to his Consulate to get his passport renewed, and he invited some of his friends from the same country to go with us. [19:26] DaemonFC One of them kept tapping her stupid iPhone while the system said "ERROR ERROR ERROR ERROR BEEP BEEP BEEP ERROR" and the second person working in the store had to walk up to another register so I could pay for my items with my Discover card (the actual card) and it said "BEEP...Approved" and she handed me my receipt while his friend was over there still tapping her stupid iPhone. I went outside and like five minutes later they came out. [19:26] DaemonFC The actual card.....Don't leave home without it! :) [19:26] bnchs lol iphone digital ID [19:26] bnchs bring your phone so we can track you faster [19:27] CrystalMath it's a disaster and it must be refused at all costs [19:28] DaemonFC I wonder if I can find some ion exchange resin that would fit in an empty Brita filter that I could just keep swapping out and replacing. [19:29] bnchs DaemonFC: wait until they deprecate credit cards [19:29] DaemonFC There's quite a bit in a standard cartridge, but most of it is Granular Activated Carbon. So the Elite LongLast filter removes 30+ contaminants, but copper and zinc aren't on them, and it doesn't appear to do as well at dealing with Trihalomethanes, because I know what those taste like. [19:29] bnchs because "everyone has a phone!" [19:29] MinceR [19:30] DaemonFC So I set up a system where in one tank, I run it full with a fresh standard cartridge, and then I hold the UltraMax with a LongLast cartridge underneath and the standard one acts as a pre-filter now. [19:30] DaemonFC And that seems to do a more complete filtering job. By the time both are done, I don't taste anything in the water at all. [19:31] DaemonFC We have some really shitty plumbing here.

It tasted metallic, but the standard filter as a first stage does get that out. [19:32] DaemonFC The two systems work better together than either one does alone. [19:32] zure Steam Deck Motherboard [19:32] zure Item code: IF260-020-1 [19:32] zure Not for sale [19:32] DaemonFC And I calculated what it would cost to run it like this to be 19 cents per gallon, which is still 5 times cheaper than bottled water, half the price of the water island machine, and 7 times cheaper than ZeroWater. [19:32] zure good luck ifixing that [19:33] DaemonFC Those Water Island machines can be pretty dangerous. You have no idea what the employees actually do to maintain them. Some have safe municipal water going in and water that's oozing with bacteria coming out. [19:34] DaemonFC When California investigated them, about a third would have violated for Coliform Bacteria under the SDWA, and many also had mold growing in them because the company wasn't servicing the filters. [19:34] DaemonFC So, a reverse osmosis system may be worth using, in theory. [19:34] DaemonFC But in fact, it all depends on if they maintain it, and since you can't open up the machine and see if it's full of mold, you have no idea what's going on in there. [19:36] DaemonFC I was considering a Brita faucet filter, but the confounding thing about those is, they remove MORE contaminants, but there's ones that every filter they make misses that the others get. [19:36] DaemonFC :/ [19:37] DaemonFC Or at least that's what they say. I don't know why they don't seek certification under NSF/ANSI for something their filter does. Seems logical they'd like to make another claim if the design can handle it. [19:37] DaemonFC Modern Castle found the standard cartridge removed almost 100% Total Trihalomethanes, but that's not a claim Brita makes, unless you buy the faucet adapter. [19:38] DaemonFC The only thing I can think of is the testing procedure. [19:38] DaemonFC NSF/ANSI testing procedure looks at what the filter is still doing after you run 2.5 times as much water as the manufacturer is looking to claim through it. [19:39] DaemonFC So it's possible that the GAC/Ion Exchange system can do TTHMs initially and for the rated life of the filter, but not for 2.5 times the rated lifespan. [19:39] DaemonFC MinceR, While I was researching what to do about my water, I looked into the Berkey systems and those are full of lulz. [19:39] DaemonFC They have no actual certifications. [19:40] DaemonFC They're not legal in two states, because they demand you go through the NSF/ANSI testing first, which is relatively cheap considering what the Berkey systems cost and the money they must bring in, which screams to me they just don't want to have to prove they work. [19:40] DaemonFC Independent lab tests paid for by actual reviewers show their results aren't nearly as good as they claim, which further backs this up. [19:41] DaemonFC They don't sell their products directly, they do it through a network of shady salespeople, like Kirby vacuum cleaners. [19:43] DaemonFC One of their sales points is that the initial cost is high, but the filters run for 3,000 gallons. One report I read showed that the system basically stops working after about 1,100 gallons, but the user wouldn't know that unless they did their own expensive lab tests. [19:43] DaemonFC Also, another person I read says that a common complaint that happened to their Berkey is that eventually they spring leaks because the system gets dented or a gasket wears out, and they have to buy a new system or at least a repair kit. [19:44] DaemonFC And yet another report I read shows that they use a form of aluminum to remove the fluoride, and then leech aluminum from the filter into the water you're drinking. [19:44] *bnchs has quit (Quit: leaving) [19:45] DaemonFC And yet another report I read, a person poured distilled water into the Berkey with a TDS rating of 0, and it came out "filtered" with a TDS rating of over 300.

[20:32] schestowitz_TR2 people who have no savings barely make ends meet [20:32] schestowitz_TR2 so inflation to them means going into debt, faster...

[21:20] DaemonFC And while I was doing that, the resort offered me another credit card with another signing bonus, and bonus points on their hotel points scheme. [21:20] DaemonFC So between the cards and the hotel's own points, you can get a lot of free nights. [21:20] DaemonFC Next year I'll have enough points to book a night for free with hotel points. [21:21] DaemonFC It's pretty sick, schestowitz_TR2 with the credit card points, because we all know who they come from. They come from people paying in cash who can't get a credit card. [21:21] DaemonFC Or don't use one because they don't think the points are worth the tracking. [21:22] DaemonFC It's a zero sum game. The bank tosses out the points as bait. They keep part of the interchange fee for "facilitating the transactions", and then cash and debit card payers have to foot the bill. [21:23] DaemonFC schestowitz_TR2, But they did do quite a bit of work on that car for $2,300. That was a LOT of rust. [21:23] DaemonFC I saw the before and after on that outer rocker alone. The last owner let the trim separate enough that like, salt water or something got in, and it started corroding the entire panel. [21:24] DaemonFC So they had to grind and cut out rust and then patch it by welding in sheet metal, and then make it flush using a fiberglass finish, and then prime and paint it. [21:25] DaemonFC So that was where almost all of the labor went. [21:25] DaemonFC The last body shop quoted me at 15 hours plus 2 for paint on the rocker panel alone. [21:26] DaemonFC Rust repair is really tricky stuff. It's a lot of labor time, it's hard to guarantee it will be permanent. [21:27] DaemonFC But as a general rule, these sorts of repairs usually hold up for at least 7-8 years before things begin to start looking a little ugly again and if you don't fix it, what'll happen is that the panel will finish rusting away, the trim will fall out, and then you're missing part of the car. [21:27] DaemonFC And there are cars like that in the parking lot here and that's a major eyesore. [21:28] DaemonFC With nothing protecting the body behind the trim, what happens is that salt water and road debris start eating out your doors from bottom to top. [21:28] DaemonFC And basically the car falls apart due to rusting away. [21:28] *AdmFubar (~mradmin@ngqaam7baxnug.irc) has joined #techrights [21:29] DaemonFC And of course I live in the rust belt.

[21:40] DaemonFC Then he asked others what their favorite thing about Section 8 tenants was.

Including one that only has to pay him $3 a month. [21:40] DaemonFC Chicago :) [21:42] DaemonFC Congress keeps taking a stab at healthcare reform every now and then. Some of it actually is market-based and effective, and I think the No Surprises Act is one of the better things they've passed in years. [21:43] DaemonFC You go to an ER and you don't just get a bill from the ER, which may be in your insurance network. You get a bill from whichever arbitrary lab they use, which you have no say over, and whichever Physician's Group they contract with, which nobody lets you decide on, and you had no idea what anything was going to cost as a package before you decide which hospital to have a procedure done in, so the bill for something could be $7,000 or $70,000.
