Lol, they’re really pivoting to anti-semitism now that transphobia isn’t sticking. Anyways:It’s a horn. Imagine being retarded enough to claim that an instrument you can find an example of in basically every culture is a veiled reference to Jews.Jewish people were the victims of a number of violent purges throughout history in Europe. You could throw a dart at a calendar blind and it would probably land on a date where there was some kind of violence going on somewhere.

Dave don't you get it? jews are always victims, forever, no matter what. Remember the 6000000? I bet you forgot the 8 million. Public schooling has failed at teaching the youth about the tragic loss of the 3 billion jews. My great grandfather was one of the 26 billion jews murdered by the Nazis. Never again - the 7 trillion.

@Zealist @randbot “Every ethnic skirmish and/or violent purge of Jewish people in history definitely happened, except for the biggest and most well-documented one, because it was carried out by the people who were implementing the political ideology I want to implement, and accepting the reality of what happens when my ideology has been implemented in the past makes my desire to try again look ridiculous.”You guys, unironically.

@dave @randbot i think you're missing the point, aside from that i never confirmed whether i believe these things have happened, BUT I DO WONDER WHY THERE IS CONSTANT STORIES OF IT THROUGH HISTORY, it sure is odd, afterall no other ethnic group has so many stories of htemselves being hated literally everywhere but you know w/e let's ignore that

@KonataWagner I can see the undertones I just think it’s ridiculous to say that because maybe the concept of goblins was inspired by Jewish stereotypes, you can’t use goblins in your lore. Same goes for any other fantasy creature.

@matty @dave True. My grandfather was killed at least three times in the Holocaust. They dug up his grave and shot him a second time. When they cremated him they dug up his ashes, reconstituted him with water & baking soda, and shot him again. He still tells us about that.

@Xenophon This isn't a European thing. The Torah shows wicked Israelites get enslaved, slaughtered, and scattered repeatedly and only get restored when they turn to God.

Ive personally viewed the birth certificates of all 64 trillion gassed jews, because there has been 80 years since it ended, and since it's real, someone has verified all of these genocide Chosenites.Imagine if there was only a list of say, 100 or 200 thousand victims, instead of all 64 trillion.

@dave So, I've gotten into D&D content a bit lately, since I'm a huge Baldur's Gate fan due to nostalgia and am already playing BG3 in Early Access...You know what's one of the earliest mini bosses in BG3 and apparently a staple enemy in D&D campaigns?It's the fucking "Hag."That's what the monster is literally called.Always female, extremely ugly, wicked and cruel creatures. We're talking "will cook your baby in a big cauldron and make you eat it" levels of wickedness.In BG3 you can go into the den of the Hag you encounter, and it's this whole horror setting with a dozen horribly tortured victims you can find, most of them not possible to save.She even magically transforms into a harmless looking cute old woman who claims she can help you with herbs and potions.They really just took the witch / evil old hag stereotype, dialed it up to eleven, and made it into a staple monster of the genre.The D&D community seems one of the most insufferably "woke" ones out there, but guess which game isn't getting cancelled.I didn't even hear a single take from anyone about how this could be seen as misogynist. People are just 100% blind to it, it's almost hilarious how non-self-aware the players are about it.I'm not saying cancel D&D or BG3 or anything by the way, I've already killed this monster three times in the game. It's just a stupid game after all. But the lengths people go to in trying to prove Potter goblins to be antisemitic, while nobody even talks about this monster literally called THE HAG... :blobcatjoy:

@p @FailurePersonified @Zealist @randbot At one point I thought about doing a bot like yours to deal with the trolls, but with the addition of a delay that takes into account how long it would take to a normal person to read what is being replied to, as well as the time it would take someone to type the response, to mask that the response was auto-generated, but I decided that adding that feature would be a dick move.

@dave @FailurePersonified @Zealist @randbot The current version posts absurd text and quotes things that nobody wrote, because they are generated by a Markov bot. It shoves :tay: and :hal9000: and stuff like that into the posts. A super old version used to reply to one account with just one emoji, :freerealestate:. It was always the same post, just :freerealestate:. That guy posted screenshots and wrote something like "This guy is so butthurt that he replies with the free real estate emoji every time I tag him!"So mimicking your sleep schedule, that might be fun, but what I am saying here is that you don't have to try to make the bot convincing. People will argue with it regardless of how much effort you put in.

@dave They're not wrong, a lot of fantasy races are based on cultures or stereotypes of them. Elves are based on germanics with their relation with forests. Orcs are based on stereotypes of steppe peoples (huns, magyars, bulgars, mongols). It won't be surprising if a culture with such a long history doesn't also get written on.

@dave >Sure, but even if that’s true, is it fair to accuse someone of being prejudiced against the group that their stereotypes and physiology draw from?I think it depends on the literature they wrote with those stereotypes, but I haven't read itand it seems like they say that because they are more against the author than against the problem they see with fantasy

@Komnene That’s a good point, the story could be written with knowledge of those origins in mind. That being said, I think that by default you are operating in bad faith when you suggest that because a fantasy writer included these races in their story, in a way that is more or less consistent with the way other fantasy writers have included them in their own stories historically, that there was some kind of nefarious intent behind this.And I think the argument here is based on a deeply flawed understanding of history, because againeveryone had hornsethnic conflicts were a constant throughout history, and jews were disproportionately a party to them, due in part to their resistance to integration with the local culture. So it’s retarded to assert that someone is anti-semetic when your strongest piece of evidence is that the lore has a goblin rebellion happening in the same year as an ethnic conflict involving jews, because someone choosing a year randomly has a decent chance of picking a year where something was going on with some jews somewhere.

Only he would be the type of wigger to try to argue with a fucking bot.Though I’ve oft believed that some operators aren’t as hands off with their bots as one might first suspect.I’m surprised that I haven’t seen any GPT-3 bots in the wild, maybe I’m just not paying attention, but that would be the next logical step. Preface it with like a “pretend when you respond to this post like you are a Chad; a Chad is a man’s man who cares not for the plight of the lowly virgin…” and just roll with it

@FailurePersonified @p @Zealist @randbot Unironically I hope we criminalize that type of behavior, you should not be allowed to post natural language responses to what someone said that were generated by a bot.If it is made clear to the reader that the reply is bot-generated, then it’s fine. The criminality comes in when people are deploying bots that misrepresent themselves as humans.

As of now it’s fairly easy to tell, but I see what you mean; I’m sure there will be rules in place by each social forum but for the simple layman who gets fooled by a markov I’m not sure if they’d be bright enough to realize.Well then you could also make the argument that if someone can’t be fucked to see on the bio that it’s a bot; then idk what to tell you, fuck that idiot I guess.But then again only time will tell; if retards like randbot thinks their talking to a person when it’s a rudimentary bot then idk… I think we are all fucked.

A date is the easiest way to convey information. I don't think they are trying to signal but if they were I think this would have an effect

@dave @FailurePersonified @Zealist @randbot Look at other cases where lying can be illegal. Usually it requires actual, demonstrable harm, that you knew would result from the lie (or sometimes negligence). Fraud is a good one. Or if there's a glass full of poison on the table, I ask if it's water, you say "yes".Persuading the general population isn't something you can quantify or demonstrate harm from.

"What if everyone is convinced to elect New Hitler?" is a kind of absurd misapplication. You don't know a Hitler is Hitler until it's too late (good luck getting Literally Hitler to prosecute people on the grounds that he shouldn't have been elected), you cannot determine conclusively how much any given propaganda campaign contributed to the election of a Hitler, you cannot determine the extent to which a bot influenced a person's decision-making capacity in a way a human would not have, and finally, you cannot say "Didn't count because people were influenced by bots! None of you have any agency, you're all too dumb." Elections are *already* nothing but lies and propaganda intended to deceive well-meaning people, what's so different about having a bot do it instead of a content farm full of people getting paid whatever the minimum wage is in whatever country it gets farmed out to? Either you're on-board with the premise of democracy (that the general populace is competent enough to have a say in how you are governed), or you are not.> Our legal system is still woefully unprepared for "AI" shenanigans regardless.It's unprepared for everything having to do with networked computing systems.

> It is still kinda amazing to me that people will pay me to do this.Facts!

Ever since I’ve tried to think of a fun thing to do that isn’t just a bot ppl scroll past

@sj_zero @FailurePersonified @p @Zealist @randbot I haven’t read your book, but based on the description and our interactions you certainly don’t seem dull. I hope you didn’t reach the conclusion based on the observation that there are people that are definitely smarter than you, which is going to true for basically everyone less than about 3 standard deviations above the mean (maybe 4, but I question whether you can truly be that deep into the tail and not be giving some things up that aren’t captured on an IQ test anyways).

Thanks. :)Whenever I start to feel like I'm really bright, I start to read some of the academic literature in my field, and by the time I make it through the title of an article I realize I need to keep my feet nailed to the ground because I don't know what all the words even mean and this is the thing I'm supposed to know.

Yeah it's uh, it's not encouraging.I don't think it's an issue of intelligence as much as it's a lack of education; however since no one really does edu right anymore anyway, I think the only way people will move over to programming will probably be when it becomes necessity.My Grandma; who is still alive but she's heading out, had an old Tandy that she learned to write basic and even some basic assembly because it was becoming necessity back then. She stopped eventually once computers became too "complicated" and she didn't need to write any more applications due to the ease of access to tools that might not do exactly what she wanted but it was "good enough".

> it's hard to explain why, though.And it's getting harder! Even as someone who has been doing this type of shit since I was 11/12 I can't help but get bogged down when I read about new "frameworks" or even just the "toolchain to end all toolchains". It makes me worry a little bit for the future since most of the younger generation no longer asks as many questions to those who know. They would rather google something and find a whole slew of grifters and other SEO trolls giving them "hope" that code is easy... only to get thrown to the dogs of bloat and needless complexity. It's not working, it never has. So when someone who has dabbled asks me a question about programming; i can't really just tell them in good faith to go to the web and just wing it like i did.I have a coworker who is learning C++ right now, he's fairly new to programming and he started learning because I would show him my work. It took 4 months but he eventually realized I wasn't fucking with him and it was actually really cool and fun. Though he's happy with his progress, he often does lament the sheer amount of noise that he finds when simply asking a basic question. Kind of worrying.> I can get away with it but part of my work at the moment is to make it so that I am no longer admin and there is no admin.All the more reason to bot the acc 😆 though in all seriousness; I'm quite interested in seeing how that project goes. The concept "should" work, but I imagine it's a challenge.> I try to do something interesting, like the lain GIFs ... lightbot ... fedilist bot or things like thatthe lain GIF bot is easily one of my first follows when migrating; i just like the artifacting over the beautiful style of the show and it's been interesting to see how it's gotten a bit better over time. The idea of having the outside world, even the real world (not just other applications but things like a simple arduino project could make for some interesting modifiers; my mind goes to HackADay projects throughout the years (especially early on in the websites life) where they hosted a lot of projects (and still do) where you could interact with twitter or get RSS feeds from your coffee table. More interesting than the original idea, is the implementation.Kind of like when I made the Minecraft to Fedi thing, it was only used a few times for shitposting. While it was fun and i just used it to learn about how pleroma works a little bit, often when you get that prompt as you hear "wet hands" playing, you are left with the question, "what should i say?Finding the usefulness of a project is often the hardest part imo. 🤔

You can sit down, read and understand really old programs. You can read the original Unix source, you can read the Apollo guidance system, McCarthy's Lisp. You can look at what those guys are doing now, Ken and Knuth and whoever. Most of them publish source, a lot of them are still alive and working. Engineering and physics students, they study old designs. MIT's mechanical engineering class includes building a Carnot engine, I've seen one, it's basically this big brass thing, very simple engine, 1824. It's a wheel, a piston, a cylinder, and a small oil lamp at one side of the cylinder, on a wooden base. Not super powerful (powered by one tiny flame), but it's the fundamental building block of engines.People read stupid JS tutorials written for code camps that were written by someone with no talent and almost no experience, this is the opposite of what someone should do; Knuth says the yoofs are "often surprised that we knew a thing or two in the 1970s", something like that.> It took 4 months but he eventually realized I wasn't fucking with him and it was actually really cool and fun.I think that's about as much time as it takes for it to be fun, 3-6 months.> he often does lament the sheer amount of noise that he finds when simply asking a basic questionNothing for it nowadays.> though in all seriousness; I'm quite interested in seeing how that project goes.

Not looking forward to that component of the release.> i just like the artifactingIt's practically my favorite part. I figured out how to get it to not dither, and then liked the result so much that I tweaked here and there. (Maybe I'll add dithering to the 1-bit images eventually, that might look interesting. Maybe perturb the palette some, it produces some interesting images, see attached.) I also like the decontextualization (there has to be a word for this that means the same thing but doesn't sound stupid).> where you could interact with twitter or get RSS feeds from your coffee table> More interesting than the original idea, is the implementation.Yeah, that's one of the difficult things to do, like it'd be nice to have something that not only is a fun hack, but also that I want to use.

Runs drawterm fine, though, and I'm running ratpoison on it, so it's *like* having a handheld Plan 9 system.)> often when you get that prompt as you hear "wet hands" playing, you are left with the question, "what should i say?I don't know what that part means but I think I unerstand the paragraph.pal2.gifpal.gif

> Painters have this thing, they "study the masters", look at what the best painters did and then try to understand it by replicating it; this is what I recommend people do. Oh absolutely! I think back to my early days of RE when I was just rom hacking at first before moving to injection and other techniques for trainers (assassins creed is unusually easy to train btw, considering the engine).I would go look at and learn from anything I could that was fully featured PoC repos, as well as get my hands on some nasty malware that did injection and figured it out from there.This was before “security research” was really accepted, back when you wouldn’t get paid, but imprisoned/sued for just trying to bring awareness to major security vulns. A harder time for finding good information as ppl were too afraid. If I didn’t have access to those code repos, idk what I would have done. > People read stupid JS tutorials written for code camps that were written by someone with no talentWhenever we go through a hiring process for junior devs I end up going through all of the codecampers and throw the resumes in the bin; if you give me a GitHub link, and you want me to hire you; I better not see that shit in your repo list, “[bullshit codecamp] projects”.Sadly I’m seeing more and more every time we do it; it’s disturbing that over 80% of the rejects thought that paying a few bucks for a few weeks would actually make anyone want them.
> I think that's about as much time as it takes for it to be fun, 3-6 months.
Haha I’ve heard that, when I was learning, since I was a kid who immediately grasped onto Java, some batch fuckery and then assembly… it took me about a month and a half before I started having real fun.
> people are inevitably going to be disappointed by the first release because nobody can see the tech, just the fiddly bits that are missingThat’s about the worst part of any first release. It’ll be fine I’m sure after a few revisions, since why implement all the fiddly bits when most users will only want half of them implemented? Most times we as the dev won’t even know how users would like to interact with a bit before we put something out there. So you know, I’m looking forward to seeing the first release, even if it’s a little fuckywucky ＼(^o^)／
> Maybe perturb the palette some, it produces some interesting images, see attached.) I really like the second one for the muted tones and the lower contrast.. kind of mirrors the show in a way. Though I think the first one is neat also, I immediately thought of a green and blue that could create some odd, almost offensive, coloration.> I also like the decontextualization (there has to be a word for this that means the same thing but doesn't sound stupid).I was thinking anachronism but that is, “misplaced in time” vs. the gifs are a lack of context, not a misplacement.Incongruous is another one, but that usually has negative implications meaning “not fitting”. So idk…
but it can get pretty damn surreal at times> I got retard-excited for this DevTerm because it's well-made and it is a really different concept for mobile computing, it's actually useful, I can sit down and hack on it.
It’s a cool project; though what are the viewing angles on the screen like? Is it clear/readable? Also does p9 like that display resolution? (Still never have gotten into p9 very deeply, so forgive my ignorance)
> I don't know what that part means but I think I unerstand the paragraph.You did; “wet hands” is one of the songs, I was just recalling after implementing all the code for getting to fedipost (lol) from the MC mod (which is a computer, in the game, it runs lua and looks like MS-DOS) to KFCC and I did all that work, for hours, then I’m like, “fuck what should I post?” while listening to a super calming soundtrack.(Just calling back to my first assertion that finding useful applications for the project is the hard part)

I wouldn't DQ a guy for that (...maybe for that dotfile catastrophe), but if they only have that, what are they gonna do? I'd rather hire a junior dev whose resume just says "Ascended in NetHack without scumming".> it took me about a month and a half before I started having real fun.Dating myself, but QBASIC, then C, then Perl/assembly/Lisp/etc. I was just astonished the computer could be made to do things.> I’m looking forward to seeing the first release, even if it’s a little fuckywucky ＼(^o^)／Ha, yeah, first the real shit, then fixing bugs in the real shit, then lamenting some decision I made, then applying polish, then someone else says "I can fix this by rewriting it" and the cycle continues.> [lain gifs]Yeah, I think actually just doing random palettes (and guaranteeing that at least one of H, S, or L is different enough that they still can be distinguished visually) might work for the monochrome ones.> idk…

However I don't think it does anything, it's the blind leading the blind considering how absolutely retarded they are about everything. As for a list.. even if someone did compile, it's no guarantee that anyone would keep it up to date with the newer/bleeding-edge tech.> I'd rather hire a junior dev whose resume just says "Ascended in NetHack without scumming".You're a bit kinder than me; but if I see something like even some Project Euler answers is more valuable to me than most of what I see, or even HTB which I have an appreciation of that site. My thing is, and it's terribly selfish of me, but when it comes to hiring people who would work with/for me I expect them to be a bit different than 80% of other patterns, it's just about reducing the grift you know?> I was just astonished the computer could be made to do things.I had a very similar feeling; I would love to go back and have experience that "wow, holy shit" moment again, just the nostalgia from it alone, such a powerful realization. QBASIC I think was kind the the guilty party in kick starting your generations adoption.. That's one thing I slightly regret not getting into sooner, and that is C. Took me until I was about 15, so that was 4 years after starting into this whole field, and it soon became my favorite language that I still prefer to write almost anything and everything that I can (well that an NIM, but that's just me coping with the amount of work C takes lol).> then lamenting some decision I made, then applying polish, then someone else says "I can fix this by rewriting it" and the cycle continues.Absolutely vicious haha; at least your expectations are in line. I think FSE appreciates your contributions enough that it shouldn't be too bad (hopefully); outside of your critics who have made it pretty clear who they are.> Random palettes ... might work for the monochrome ones.That brings me to another question; something I've kind of been wondering, what do you use for doing the image compression?

I just assumed the angles would be off and I get real anal about screen brightness and shit like that.> 1280x480 ... but drawterm has yet to barf on any size I have given it.That's not a lot of vertical space 0_0Scaling, I'm guessing has to be adjusted (unless you just have good eyes)> That is pretty awesome.It is; it was designed to inspire the younger generation to learn some scripting, and it does a really good job, but it's ridiculously powerful and for no reason at all, it has a TCP stack simulated and wireless radio as well as wired. So on some servers back in the day we would write really stupid IRC-like clients so you could shitpost across worlds. It was a good time.

If you extrapolate from it, you can figure out how to crank the palette all the way down.> ImageMagick is neat but it's obtuse at times.Ha, I feel that way about ffmpeg.> Does that have to do with something around the lines of, not just only RNG but do you do any "limiting" of the clips that it is allowed to choose from?No, I don't; basically, there's a list of files with lengths, and it selects a random item from that list, and then a random timestamp between 0 and the total length of the file. From there, it picks from a list of palettes/times (1-bit/10s, 3-bit/2.5s, or full color 2.5s).It *shouldn't* be RNG bias: I actually started seeding it from /dev/urandom, all the random samples are Fischer-Yates shuffles, etc.> Ok; last question about the devterm, how, at a not super dim level (at a comfortable working level), how long (w/ simple operations) does the battery last? That depends on the batteries and CPU that you get. I have some 3000mAh 18650s that I put into it, and the A06 will usually run 4-5 hours, but I usually just use the low-power cores. It runs about the same amount of time with all the cores on, though, probably because it runs cooler if all of the cores are idle rather than the low-level cores being used somewhat more heavily. My setup is a little weird, though, because I don't run a DE (ratpoison is really lightweight compared to stuff like LXDE), it'd probably last longer if I wasn't running conky or things like that. I haven't gotten to play with the RISC-V one yet, I think the RPi CM4 lasts a little longer, etc. The batteries are wired in parallel, though, so the machine will allegedly run on just one battery, meaning that if you don't have a power source but you have extra batteries, you can (allegedly) hot-swap them if you swap only one battery at a time. If I crank it all the way down and turn the backlight off completely, it'll last a long time like that, but I haven't measured it. I took it to the dentist's office and left it on (but backlight off while I was in the car both ways and also while I was in the chair), it was just below 80% after three hours.(Response was brief last time because hacking time and a lot of notifications, right now I am yelling at an rsync for being too slow.)

From there, it picks from a list of palettes/times (1-bit/10s, 3-bit/2.5s, or full color 2.5s).That's really not what I was expecting, from the viewpoint that when the bot is hitting on something like a scene transition; it seems to land almost perfectly, if not right on the dot most of the time. I figured you did some sort of scene recognition (or just had it marked off since the entire freakin' show is well documented, disturbingly so).I like the simplicity though; it's though probably on the merit that the show doesn't rely too much on context shattering transitions.> seeding it from /dev/urandomSince urandom uses sources of entropy, like timed key events, etc. Maybe it's just found itself in a decent slump. Who knows, entropy is voodoo, also there could, as I eluded to in my previous statement that it might just be on the merit of the writing/phrasing of each scene.

That's pretty good; it's a mobile processor sure but from what I can gather about most mobile procs they leave most of the power management to the OS (with the proper controls in place obviously though it's mostly still managed OS side). And i'm guessing most linux distros probably do "ok" but... you know, something something linux something something WHY THE FUCK DOES IT STILL CRASH ON SLEEP, IT'S BEEN YEARS.> My setup is a little weird, though, because I don't run a DE (ratpoison is really lightweight compared to stuff like LXDE), it'd probably last longer if I wasn't running conky or things like that.I'd argue that while conky can be prone to pulling (IO reqs) quite a bit; I think using something like ratpoison is more likely (don't have any data to back this assertion with ratpoison) to make up for any losses you might have with conky. I used; all throughout college i3wm and I gotta say, my laptop would last a solid 1 1/2 hours longer than if I was running gnome or mate or kde.I'm using Plasma rn though on my current ThinkPad just because it came with the distro that i haven't decide if I wanna keep, but considering it's essentially arch but instead of systemd it's s6... so i'm really enjoying it so far. (completely off-topic but this is the first time in a long time I'm using a "proper" DE and it feels, odd?> I haven't gotten to play with the RISC-V one yet, I think the RPi CM4 lasts a little longer, etc.Yeah; I wouldn't be surprised if RISC-V is more power efficient, but then again all RISC-V hardware I've seen is still working out the "wrinkles" so to speak when it comes to power management, it's prolly not where it should be. Need to read up more on it though; that's my suspicion (although you may know better, I haven't read too much on it to know for sure).> you can (allegedly) hot-swap them if you swap only one battery at a time. THE PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW if this is the case lol; that would upgrade it from "cool" to wtf levels of usability that I would not have expected. (I'm gonna break on my previous statement of enough questions) but doesn't it show the two batteries, or have any way (implemented preferably) where you can see or select the battery it uses?> it was just below 80% after three hours.You could probably get something of a module added on to do BTLE and have a little drop server running with little to no problem, or even do some war-driving with it just buzzin' away quietly. That's fuckin' mint.> (Response was brief last time because hacking time and a lot of notifications, right now I am yelling at an rsync for being too slow.)No worries my guy; I get it. I'm currently trying to get some webdev stuff done (hate CSS), though I have a project I'm looking into fucking around with BT (I think it should be EZ to MITM) on the Flipper (got one for a decent price, nice bit of kit and dev for it isn't that difficult) so my poor family only heard from me in the last two days lol (after like a solid week of radio silence). So all that to say, I feel you on that front. Rsync being A BETA doesn't help :)

@FailurePersonified @dave @Zealist @randbot > I used to do a lot of video shit but in the last few years I've got rusty.I've done basically none, but the last few years I ended up learning some about ffmpeg.> I think when it comes to those tools, they are probably not that obtuse and it's all just down to how much time you spend with them.I think part of the deal with ffmpeg is that there are a lot of things people might want to do with a video and it is kind of complex. The remainder of the deal is that it is actually obtuse and they should have just made a little language. (By the time you have arguments that behave differently based on the position of other arguments, it should just be a little language. Imagine trying to create awk but doing it only with flags instead of passing in a small program.)> I figured you did some sort of scene recognitionNope, it's a really dumb bot, maybe 100 lines, and most of that is doing the media upload dance with Pleroma.> Since urandom uses sources of entropy, like timed key events, etc. Maybe it's just found itself in a decent slump.Unlikely; I mean, box accumulates entropy bits over time, box stays up a long time (record is almost 900 days of uptime). I am willing to be that, in order of descending likeliness, it's a coincidence, or it's something I'm doing, or it's some bug in Ruby.> Kind of neat though, again that you are able to get such impressive outcomes from a pretty damn simplistic, completely random op.You can get a long way with the really simple stuff, I think.> something something linux something something WHY THE FUCK DOES IT STILL CRASH ON SLEEP, IT'S BEEN YEARS.Probably because most of the people that would be hacking on it use a computer in one of two ways: it never shuts off, or it never stays up long. (I had been trying to set up PXE-boot but that is such a pain in the ass to debug that I gave up on PXE-booting Linux. Plan 9 is *insanely* easy to set up for PXE booting and that's 90% of what I'd want to have disposable nodes for, so I just rolled a custom LiveSlak image for the dickless workstations.)> I'd argue that while conky can be prone to pulling (IO reqs) quite a bit; I think using something like ratpoison is more likely (don't have any data to back this assertion with ratpoison) to make up for any losses you might have with conky.conky taxes the X server a bit (because it transparents itself on the background, so read-blit-write, plus I suspect its blitters are not that great), which makes X busy-wait some when the GPU is underclocked; I ended up just cranking down conky's refresh rate, something like 3.7s. (It'd be nice if the refresh rate were somehow timed to xidle or something.)> all throughout college i3wm and I gotta say, my laptop would last a solid 1 1/2 hours longer than if I was running gnome or mate or kde.Shit, just the UI lag makes those unbearable to me. I ran ratpoison a while as a joke, like I used evilwm for a few months. (My desktop system I don't play with much, but laptops and whatnot, I like to try weird stuff sometimes.) When I got a T-60, since the resolution was 1024x768, the amount of space the window decorations took started to get to me and, because I really only needed to see one thing (the browser, or the Inferno window) I started running ratpoison. It felt really serene, so I started running it basically everywhere except my desktop, which is still fvwm.> this is the first time in a long time I'm using a "proper" DE and it feels, odd?They feel odd to me in general. Late 90s when everyone was excited about Linux and it was amazing if you could get it to work, I was using AfterStep, but my friend was really excited about KDE (which had, as its selling point at the time, "this is like CDE but it's open-source"), and I never really took to that. With Windows or MacOS, it was like "Here, this is what we put in there, so this is what you have", but on a system where you could pick whatever (or build it yourself), I never went for a DE. On top of that, I can't bear using something that is, in 2023, slower on modern hardware than a lightweight environment would be on a computer that is old enough to buy liquor.> all RISC-V hardware I've seen is still working out the "wrinkles" so to speakYeah. I put in an order for one, because you can swap out the CPU boards in these things, so I guess I will find out, but ARM is kind of a known quantity and I like ARM anyway. (Plus I have written enough ARM assembly that I don't need a manual if I step through instructions.) I don't like RISC-V's ISA as much but I hate x86's and I run that everywhere so I figure I can cope, and a fully open CPU is pretty cool.> that would upgrade it from "cool" to wtf levels of usability that I would not have expected.I hear it works. The problem is that when you're about to run out of juice, you might have even *less* juice if you're running on one battery. I haven't tried it because I usually have a bunch of PDFs open and don't want to lose my place. (I haven't booted up my x220 since I got this thing, so a lot of my reading happens on it now.)> doesn't it show the two batteries, or have any way (implemented preferably) where you can see or select the battery it uses?They're wired in parallel instead of having some battery-switching circuit, so it's using both. (If you were so inclined, you might be able to replace the battery holder on the board with one that held four or six of them.)> You could probably get something of a module added on to do BTLEIt does have Bluetooth (without the LE), but I keep that off because I hate Bluetooth. It might have BTLE, though, for all I know.> a little drop server running with little to no problemHa, I actually put awkiawki on it for note-taking purposes, it is running a web server. (Apparently Go now supports arm64, so I shoved a build of Revolver onto it and it runs fine.)> or even do some war-driving with it just buzzin' away quietly.Very fun shit; I have already put aircrack and wireshark and stuff on it, but no occasion to use them yet. I got an SDR dongle, too. (I wanna try to get it to listen in on the AX.25 packet radio networks.)> I'm currently trying to get some webdev stuff doneCondolences.> the Flipper (got one for a decent price, nice bit of kit and dev for it isn't that difficult)Those things are *really* fuckin' cool.

> The remainder of the deal is that it is actually obtuse and they should have just made a little language. (By the time you have arguments that behave differently based on the position of the arguments, it should just be a little language. ... )Facts lol; though I'm figuring it was one of those situations where you develop something you never could have ever imagined getting this complex, and since it's been used by the public for many years at this point you can't really go back and atone for the sins committed so long ago. Like FFMPEG is pre-911 when the first version was available, which is wild.When it comes to awk; I can't imagine it being anything but a little language, It's still annoying as fuck to learn (and i still have issues implementing shit without googling syntax half the damn time).> it's a coincidence, or it's something I'm doing, or it's some bug in RubyAll are probable, I'm trying not to be too chav concerning the illustrious Ruby.> You can get a long way with the really simple stuff, I think.KISS; keep it simple, stupid. Though I'm guilty of not following that rule far too much, and it bites me each and every time. Something about elegance in simplicity.> been trying to set up PXE-boot but that is such a pain in the ass to debug that I gave up on PXE-booting Linux. Plan 9 is *insanely* easyYeah i know CentOS is pretty common for PXE-boot but I imagine it's not so easy with other operating systems, since I'm doubtful that most devs aren't even looking or thinking of PXE. TBF it's really only ever seen in business/education and windows has pretty much a death grip on that part of the market.> conky taxes the X server a bit (because it transparents itself on the background ... ) Completely forgot that was a thing lol; I never got transparency to work when I fucked around with conky; don't know, didn't care too much since it mostly stayed out my way for the most part. It's neat from what i remember.> I ran ratpoison a while as a joke, like I used evilwm for a few months. ... It felt really serene, so I started running it basically everywhere except my desktop, which is still fvwmThat's pretty much the exact same realization I arrived at when using i3; I remember thinking "this will be funny" (and mildly autistic)... and just like that a whole world of responsiveness and low resource usage opened to me, it was quite beautiful, I remember only really caring about UI lag after I ended up using a normal DE, and still to this day it is my preferred way to work. Realizing that there was a better way was a shock to the system. I grew up using Windows 9[5/8] so I was skeptical of the value of something like i3.> I was using AfterStep That's a throw back; one of my co-workers has an old netbook and he still uses AfterStep on it for when he's on break and cruising the world wide web in lynx. He is really passionate about it; though I never grew up, or got into things with anything like AfterStep so it's a little bit of an anomally to me.> I never went for a DE. On top of that, I can't bear using something that is, in 2023, slower on modern hardware than a lightweight environment would be on a computer that is old enough to buy liquor.That's solid enough as any reason to switch lol. I still can't understand why, when i got the ThinkPad I'm typing on now (new keyboard just installed which is nice) I can't understand or imagine why when they shipped it to me, it was running Windows 10. Nigga this computer has a weak ass i5 running inside (with nothing for graphics onboard) and while it might have been shipped with 10 about 5 years ago I can't imagine why a reseller would wipe it and waste those write cycles to put one of the saddest, and slowest experiences on the poor thing. Running what I am now, it never lags, watches videos fine, encodes fine, boots and shutdowns quickly. IDGAF what their reasoning was, why waste a license on something that went to an E-Waste Center for a fucked up keyboard? I will never understand it. The really obnoxious thing about current day is that there isn't exactly a stripped down version of a DE for Windows or MacOS, and less and less options to manage the resource usage of the current version, absolutely diabolical.> Yeah. I put in an order for one, because you can swap out the CPU boards in these thingsIt's sick that they made it so modular; even if it's a little pricey for my blood right now. However I think it's really cool to just be able to try out something like RISC-V in a form factor that doesn't make you want to off yourself trying to get it to work with peripherals and shit like that. The passthrough PCIe slotted boards have a whole mountain of shit you have to do before you can even get anything to run on it.(word limit is a bitch lol)

> ARM is kind of a known quantity and I like ARM anyway. And it's really getting quite ubiquitous now; i remember when i got a Pi for the first time (one of the UK batch, so rPi1) and i remember how absolutely awful it was to get anything packaged for ARM. Now it seems that the entire linux community has really taken such a liking to it in such a short few years. Truly something beautiful, and a lot easier to learn/read (as I'm sure you found out from the following sentence) then x86.> a fully open CPU is pretty cool.Absolutely; and in a handful of revisions (i'm sure) it'll be something truly amazing; here's to hoping we see some nifty extensions to the RISC-V base that really make it something formidable. Competition with ARM is only good for both the ISAs. That's what excites me about R-V, just the fact you can freely modify and use that shit is really fucking cool.> The problem is that when you're about to run out of juice, you might have even *less* juice if you're running on one battery. Ah i got you; makes sense. Though as long as you aren't waiting for too long (like during those <5% minutes) I can't imagine it would die on you. But I get it especially if you don't want to lose your reading. Now I know Okular saves where you are at, but I'm not sure if that happens on a normal close of the application or if it just saves kind of like NP++ where even if your bat. dies you can still keep on moving from where you left off.> They're wired in parallel instead of having some battery-switching circuitMissed opportunity for some old "duel tank" action -_- If i ever get one that will have to be a mod, since the circuitry is super simple (the switch would simply just use both, then use one, that way you don't get any major power fluctuation/loss, a decently sized capacitor would also help with the transition)> I keep that off because I hate BluetoothCan't say I feel much different; but sadly i have to use it daily. Buggy as all get out.> I actually put awkiawki on it for note-taking purposes, it is running a web server. ... Very fun shit; I have already put aircrack and wireshark and stuff on it, but no occasion to use them yet. I got an SDR dongle, too. (I wanna try to get it to listen in on the AX.25 packet radio networks.)This is the kind of shit I love about these new small boy computers; there's just something so magical about scraping the world around us for anything. SDR is addicting, if you haven't fucked with it much, this is my warning. Absolutely amazing what those little SDRs can do. And if you get far enough into it; there are some really cool projects, like the HackRF One which I really need to save up a little snuff and get my hands on one. Absolutely bonkers how far the radio heads have come in terms of just sheer awesome hardware.> Those things are *really* fuckin' cool. Let me know if you do anything fun with it.Yeah! I'm happy with the purchase, I recommend getting one when they come down a bit more. I'll be sure to let you know, right now I'm just trying to implement some basic bluetooth shit for spoofing (early phase of the concept) these little projects take a good amount of time because I'm working long weeks but I'm pretty excited to see if i can actually get something good with this shit. Even though I'm not sure how effective it'll be until I try it... I'm currently seeing if the hardware will let me manage two devices TRX like at "almost" the same time but if not I'll see if I can get an ESP32 with a BL module. > Mainly old disks were being a BEEEETAAAAAAwww they are just old and trying their best. Those poor things, if you treat your drives like i do, have seen some abuse 😆

@FailurePersonified @dave @Zealist @randbot > I'm figuring it was one of those situations where you develop something you never could have ever imagined getting this complexFabrice Bellard (yes, that one) designed it as a library, the command started off as a reference implementation/demo.> googling syntaxRoll out a personal wiki that just runs on your machine, check your utility scripts into git. I have cheat sheets for basically everything, and I might not remember how to do the palette generation in ffmpeg but I do remember that it's in the lainbot and and that I have notes in the ffmpeg page on my wiki.> Ruby.Rails has given the language a bad name; all of the stuff I wrote for 1.6 still runs fine in 3.1.> guilty of not following that rule far too much, and it bites me each and every time:tonyhoare:> Yeah i know CentOS is pretty common for PXE-boot but I imagine it's not so easy with other operating systemsAh, it's more like they include a BOOTP/TFTP configuration that works out of the box; Slackware does, too, maybe other distros. PXE is difficult to debug, so I got to "Decompressing kernel" and half a screen worth of "."s, then it froze. So I thought I was maybe hitting some limit, stripped the kernel all the way down and it froze *faster*. No panic, no output of any kind. Something I'm doing wrong, I don't know. Screw it: USB bootstick, copy filesystem to RAM, easy disposable node. It is kind of a pain in the ass to have to remove a physical thing if I want to change something.Plan 9's PXE setup works out of the box, and that's kind of the idea: you have fileservers and an auth server and you PXE-boot the CPU servers (compute nodes) and the terminals (screen and keyboard). So there's no screen lock (I think 9front added one), not even a real "log out": you just reboot the terminal, which is fine because it has no local storage, and it netboots to a login prompt for whoever comes along next.> It's neat from what i remember.I like gkrellm more, but conky does most of what I want done; takes up more space but looks fancier.> Realizing that there was a better way was a shock to the system. I grew up using Windows 9[5/8] so I was skeptical of the value of something like i3.Ha, I grew up with DOS, then 3.1, then 95/98, and around 98 was when Linux started taking off, so my friend brought a LOAF distro, "hal91", shoved it in the floppy drive, and booted into a Unix system.Here, it still boots, `qemu-system-i386 -fda hal91-0.4.5.img`. It doesn't do too much (1.44MB was small for an OS even back then), but to a handful of the people in the room, it felt really significant. No more having to telnet to the Sun machine to use all the powerful tools: you could just have a Unix workstation, it'd boot on the hardware you already owned.> one of my co-workers has an old netbook and he still uses AfterStep on itHa, my EeePC's battery stopped holding a charge, it lived by the bed a while as a small terminal to control the computer that was plugged into the TV, and also as an alarm clock and occasionally a SNES emulator, then one morning I knocked it off the night stand and the screen cracked.I liked AfterStep a lot: it was all new so I was very eager to rice all of it, AfterStep looked really futuristic back then, and having multiple workspaces felt magic back then.> ThinkPad I'm typing on nowThey were delightful right until the x220. I'm gonna be stuck on this DevTerm for the next decade, I think.> I can't imagine why a reseller would wipe it and waste those write cycles to put one of the saddest, and slowest experiences on the poor thing.My x220 came with Windows 10, too. I thought "I still have my other Thinkpad, let's try to live with Windows 10 a while." Spent the first day disabling shit, found out that you *can't* disable a lot of the terrible shit it does, installed a bunch of games that I hadn't been able to play...then ended up just putting Slackware on it the next day.> It's sick that they made it so modularVery nice. And 18650s! If the battery dies, you can get 18650s *anywhere*. They released files for the boards, .stl files for all the plastic parts, if you wanted to solder it, you could spend some time making your own.hal91-0.4.5.img

@FailurePersonified @dave @Zealist @randbot > And it's really getting quite ubiquitous now;Has been for a minute; I learned ARM on iPAQ (StrongARM, Compaq Research ported Linux to it, very cool), then hacked a lot on the GBA (ARM7), even got one of those rewritable carts so I could run stuff on the hardware.The thing about the DevTerm is that it seems expensive if it's a fun-times device, but if you're replacing your laptop with it, it's pretty cheap, it's durable—no hinge to break, my main problem with the post-T60 Thinkpads was that the plate holding the screen on the T500/T400 was flimsy. Insanely convenient.> here's to hoping we see some nifty extensions to the RISC-V base that really make it something formidableI think they may have over-done it on the ISA, but now that it's actually getting committed to silicon, I'm cautiously optimistic.> OkularI don't really know what that is; I just use page(1) or the non-qt version of xpdf. (xpdf scales a little better than page does.)> Missed opportunityYou couldn't swap the batteries individually if they were wired in series, though!> sadly i have to use it daily.It is all right for sound in cases where a cable is impractical; I think that is the only thing I use it for. Made a pot of Japanese curry earlier, just plugged my DevTerm into a speaker. I do listen to stuff on my phone using Bandcamp a lot, though.> This is the kind of shit I love about these new small boy computers; there's just something so magical about scraping the world around us for anything.Most definitely; we've got the dystopia part, the cyberpunk part is coming along nicely. I've been lurking cyberdeck.cafe and the Hackaday cyberdeck tag. When my N900 still worked, it was like a piece of that: I was at a weekly demo with a client, he spotted a bug, I ssh'd in and fixed it.> SDR is addicting, if you haven't fucked with it much, this is my warning.Oh, yeah, my ham license lapsed and I kind of ignored radio for years, but I like RF and a lot of really cool stuff has started to go down now that SDR is cheap. I have played with the SDR stuff only a little so far. Wandering around the spectrum and looking. It seems like a lot of the Linux AX.25 stuff is geared towards plugging a radio into the mic port instead of using an RTL dongle, but I will figure that out when I get some free time unless someone else solves it by the time I get around to it.> right now I'm just trying to implement some basic bluetooth shit for spoofing:cereal:> Awww they are just old and trying their best.Came with the refurb; I don't know what happened to them. Much snappier now, and the 2U machine (same board and everything, just more space) is way, *way* quieter than the 1U. It was disorienting!And it is still kind of amazing to me that these rack-mount servers with similar specs to $current_year desktop machines can be gotten for $100, $200. Dual-Xeon, 64GB RAM, 8 drive bays, hardware RAID, four GbE ports...$150. Damn cheap for a home server, and instead of replacement parts, when one of the fans failed, I just grabbed another one, it had gone down to $100, plus scavenged another 16GB of RAM. Makes me wonder why I bother with desktop machines: I should just treat the server rack like a big-ass tower case, use the DevTerm for mobility, and use ARM boards for everything else.8aua9pdvr3i61-129302540.png
