02:24 DaemonFC; Moderna and Novavax have nothing to lose even if they do ever get "held accountable" for what they've done to people.

02:32 schestowitz; <schestowitz-pi> <schestowitz> i took screenshors as evidence, too

02:32 schestowitz; <xxxx> Map out the crazies and their connection?

02:32 DaemonFC; schestowitz, There's only two ways you work on your own plumbing, or car, or something.

02:32 schestowitz; so now we have a clearer picture

02:32 DaemonFC; 1. You're too broke or cheap to pay a professional to do it.

02:32 schestowitz; in case rianne and i choose to sue them

02:32 schestowitz; they seem broke

02:32 schestowitz; and desperate

02:33 DaemonFC; 2. You just LIKE doing that to keep yourself from going insane while you have nothing else to work on.

02:33 schestowitz; btw, xrevan helped them 'spy'

02:33 DaemonFC; So I conclude that Matt has nothing else to do and is too broke to call a professional.

02:33 schestowitz; now russia cracks down on people like him

02:35 DaemonFC; About the same difference.

02:35 schestowitz; isis and gulag already have experience losing lots of money on lawyers

02:35 schestowitz; the todd case

02:35 schestowitz; which they did not win

02:35 DaemonFC; You take it somewhere they charge you half a labor hour and double the price they paid for the filter.

02:35 schestowitz; he could pursue further

02:35 DaemonFC; You walk out with an $80 bill over a $8 filter.

02:35 schestowitz; based on false accounts from ISIS

02:36 schestowitz; DaemonFC: re repairs

02:36 DaemonFC; I get car filters so cheap I just change them a lot.

02:36 schestowitz; the hard part of the parts

02:36 DaemonFC; Why not?

02:36 schestowitz; and sometimes tools

02:36 schestowitz; set aside expertise

02:36 DaemonFC; If I was paying $80 a filter change I'd probably see if I could go 4-5 years on one filter.

02:36 schestowitz; if you need to go to some far away store to find the parts

02:36 schestowitz; i had to go to stockport to get some laptop parts for an old laptop

02:36 DaemonFC; You probably could before it was clogged enough to cause noticeable acceleration loss.

02:36 schestowitz; from rs components

02:36 schestowitz; i did fix it on my own

02:36 schestowitz; compa

02:37 schestowitz; q wanted loads of money

02:37 schestowitz; to not fix but replace

02:37 DaemonFC; Those cabin filters though, those need it at least once a year.

02:37 DaemonFC; They get filthier than the engine air filter. Different position.

02:37 schestowitz; maybe i will mention Greer in a new post

02:37 DaemonFC; They're facing upwards so even with that plastic tray over them you get all this grit and dirt in there.

02:38 DaemonFC; Shops can charge a lot of money for something that isn't difficult.

02:39 DaemonFC; The air quality where I live is horrible.

02:39 DaemonFC; All those car engines running around me I suspect.

02:39 DaemonFC; You should see how brown or black those cabin filters are after a year or so. Then there's people that never change them and wonder why their car stinks every time they turn the heat on.

02:39 DaemonFC; schestowitz, Greer?

02:40 DaemonFC; I wouldn't. The guy needs no prompting.

02:40 DaemonFC; Repeating what he's said about himself in public is what got Kiwi Farms in trouble.

02:41 DaemonFC; He went court shopping and found a few Democrat judges, including one that was rated as not qualified to be a judge by the committee that recommends things to Congress, and one born in the Soviet Union.

02:41 DaemonFC; What a travesty.

02:42 DaemonFC; So at least two of the three judges on that three judge panel should have never made it to the federal bench.

02:43 DaemonFC; We clearly need a Constitutional Amendment that adds a natural born citizen requirement to be in law enforcement, Congress, and the federal bench.

02:43 DaemonFC; Citizens are now being arrested and judged by people who are not even from here.

02:43 DaemonFC; Who clearly don't share American values.

02:43 DaemonFC; Like freedom of speech

02:44 DaemonFC; And we have Terrorist Tlaib in Congress.

02:45 DaemonFC; Illinois changed the law so that illegal immigrants can be police officers.

02:45 DaemonFC; It says anyone with a work permit.

02:45 DaemonFC; So theoretically an illegal Venezuelan on "parole" could become a police officer and arrest an American.

02:50 DaemonFC; Even if you would have approved someone you liked that didn't have good credit.

02:50 DaemonFC; It's a fig leaf for whatever the lender or insurance company wants to do to that person.

02:52 DaemonFC; <schestowitz> while mortgage rates soared

02:52 DaemonFC; That only matters after you sign the loan if you got an ARM, and only if it resets while rates are much higher than they were 5 or 7 years ago.

02:53 DaemonFC; When rates are low, banks like to write ARMs because it lets them try again in 5 or 7 years to trap you in a higher rate for 5 or 7 years past that.

02:54 DaemonFC; They get higher rates over the span of the loan because when you write an ARM with rates near zero there's no chance of it resetting to a lower rate than the intro.

02:54 DaemonFC; If it didn't benefit the bank, they wouldn't be steering you to that kind of a loan.

04:27 DaemonFC; schestowitz, No need for depressing unbranded beer anymore.

04:28 DaemonFC; Bud, Coors, Miller, it's all basically the same thing.

04:28 DaemonFC; One step up from Nasty Ice and that's not saying much.

04:29 DaemonFC; schestowitz, It's interesting how depressing, monotonous, sterile, industrial the Baby Boomers made everything.

04:29 DaemonFC; It's beautiful in a sense of the word.

04:29 DaemonFC; In that very nearly anyone can afford McDonald's or a can of beer.

04:29 DaemonFC; But there's nothing unexpected.

04:30 DaemonFC; You crack open one can of grocery store beer, it's the same as any other can of that brand will be, or has ever been.

04:30 DaemonFC; It sort of takes some of the excitement out of the experience.

04:30 DaemonFC; You've tasted one can, you've tasted them all.

04:30 DaemonFC; Mystery solved.

04:31 MinceR; quality control is now bad?

04:31 schestowitz; <DaemonFC> schestowitz, It's interesting how depressing, monotonous, sterile, industrial the Baby Boomers made everything.

04:31 schestowitz; true

04:32 DaemonFC; MinceR, The control is you set a low standard that anyone can achieve.

04:32 DaemonFC; QA doesn't mean that you aim for high standards. Just that you aim for uniformity.

04:33 DaemonFC; If every car coming off the line at BMW fails in about the same way in 3-4 years, then they are all meeting the same standard of quality.

04:33 DaemonFC; They can say they have a process.

04:34 schestowitz; see light bul;b cartel

04:34 DaemonFC; If every hamburger at McDonalds that is dry and only seasoned with some salt tastes the same in any city, they hit the quality standard.

04:34 schestowitz; i started a fishing expedition for bulbs last week

04:34 schestowitz; the bulbs are no good

04:34 schestowitz; the good ones cost about 10 times more

04:34 DaemonFC; I don't have a QA process in my kitchen.

04:35 DaemonFC; If I cook burgers they'll come out a fair bit different each time.

04:35 DaemonFC; It'll always be better than McDonald's but never exactly the same from one batch to another.

04:36 DaemonFC; McDonald's has "a process" for....making sure they can get this done with the minimum amount of labor at the minimum wage with minimum training, not piss off the health department, and not leave "consumers" going "This McDonald's is very much noticeably better or worse than this other one."

04:36 DaemonFC; And if they vary from this, then they are penalized by corporate.

04:37 DaemonFC; And they want it to scale, and it's very good at scaling.

04:37 DaemonFC; With no notice at all, Donald Trump sent an order for over 2,000 burgers and dozens of orders of chicken nuggets and fries to one McDonald's location.

04:37 DaemonFC; And they were able to quickly respond to this and get it all out.

04:38 DaemonFC; There is this sort of admirable efficiency about that.

04:38 DaemonFC; He also fired off a bunch of pizza orders and stuff.

04:38 DaemonFC; It was during a government shutdown.

04:39 DaemonFC; Nobody at the White House could be paid to make a proper dinner for some athletes he was hosting at the White House, so he paid out of pocket for some McDonald's and Dominos and sent some people to go get it.

04:39 DaemonFC; Then MSDNC had some "Who the hell is this bitch?" lady, gawking at the fact that people eat at McDonald's.

04:40 DaemonFC; And then gawking again at Trump joking the government was shut down so it would be that or Melania and Karen Pence making some little salads in the kitchen.

04:41 DaemonFC; Because they can't pick their battles. They have to hang on for anything he says or does, in case it's the slightest little bit offensive. Or in case he takes people to McDonald's.

04:42 DaemonFC; Then they report this instead of all the hundreds of "country falling apart and debt crisis nobody is working on" stories they'd run if they were the news.

04:43 DaemonFC; But I'll give MSDNC this much.

04:43 DaemonFC; When I said "Who the Hell is this lady?" it was actually, a biological woman.

04:43 DaemonFC; You can't take anything for granted anymore.

04:43 DaemonFC; "People who get pregnant." "Persons that menstruate."

04:44 DaemonFC; How much of this fucking horseshit do you think Brandon Lobster goes through?

04:44 DaemonFC; Buying maxipads, not because there's any need for them, but because it makes him feel "appropriate".

04:45 DaemonFC; Phantom dick syndrome?

04:46 DaemonFC; The left is fucking weird.

04:46 DaemonFC; Trannies and Hamas.

04:47 DaemonFC; They have no ability to plan their lives, no useful function in society.

04:48 DaemonFC; 90% of all Americans who go to university are just being scammed so they can end up unloading the truck at Best Buy later, with six figure debt, so they could smoke pot and study Gender Shit for 4 years.

04:48 DaemonFC; I'm willing to bet the figure is closer to 100% once you get to the ones rallying in support of Hamas.

04:49 DaemonFC; People who place a negative value on life aren't just misanthropes. They've actually met the leftist loons that their tax money supports.

04:50 DaemonFC; Reddit is a trash fire. "My boyfriend says this steak is too raw. Here's pictures."

04:50 schestowitz; :D

04:51 DaemonFC; How about you eat it and get back with us once it's settled. Post the hospital bill.

04:51 DaemonFC; I cook steak in the air fryer.

04:51 DaemonFC; Gets it done all over at once. No real need to even flip it.

04:53 DaemonFC; COP28, brought to you by the Farts of John Kerry and Saudi Prince Bone Saw, would like to remind you to do your part. Give up meat and coffee and have eight children that will grow up hungry, unemployed, and spew carbon everywhere. LOLOLOLOL MORONS.

04:53 DaemonFC; That is all.

04:53 *DaemonFC drops mic

04:55 DaemonFC; I don't dare have kids. Not only would it mean no more steak, coffee, and car, it would mean debt, early death from stress, and if they did manage to make anything out of themselves they'd live to see Lobsta's kids grow up and elect Frito Pendejo.

07:00 schestowitz; let me ask this

07:00 darwin; so as schestowitz said earlier, apparently Microsoft is allowing most WWW traffic (major web browsers) but blocking a large amount of other traffic like 'git clone'... I was able to 'git clone' on one of two remote servers

07:00 schestowitz; if there is a firewall rule

07:00 schestowitz; why only ssh/git affected?

07:00 schestowitz; but not web?

07:00 schestowitz; they probably sniff activity type

07:00 schestowitz; client, time, cookies

07:00 schestowitz; and intercept you if you dopn't run their proprietary JS

07:00 darwin; good question; they're apparently blocking most of it, but not all of it, to make it seem like it's still working, when it's not working that much

07:01 schestowitz; righjt

07:01 schestowitz; cosy-cutting

07:01 schestowitz; "NO MONEY IN IT"

07:01 schestowitz; they alteady fired their own staff

07:01 schestowitz; iirc, ALL the staff in India

07:01 schestowitz; apparently indians based in india is too expensive

07:01 schestowitz; to run github

07:02 schestowitz; i can find you the press articles

07:02 schestowitz; almostnobbody covered it

07:02 schestowitz; not techj media

07:02 schestowitz; certainly not FOSS media

07:02 darwin; one thing I forgot to mention is I follow 100 to 200+ projects on GitHub. Maybe once a season I open every single one of those in a day... it's possible they detected that and had some rule/automation 'he must be a developer: block him'

07:02 schestowitz; they should have shouted this from rofotops

07:02 schestowitz; to ewarn FOSS projects

07:02 schestowitz; youtube is going through the same

07:02 schestowitz; no money

07:02 schestowitz; hence lkots of cuts

07:02 schestowitz; usually at the expense of users

07:03 darwin; that is surprising when there are a fair number (though low percentage) of 'youtubers' who made a lot of money from ads on youtube and have millions and lavish lifestyles now

07:03 darwin; of course, more people use adblockers now

07:06 schestowitz; true

08:03 DaemonFC; Line 2 is for if you're running about two-thirds of a full size washer.

08:04 DaemonFC; They don't say what line 1 is for. But it's approximately 75% of the amount of detergent as line 2.

08:22 DaemonFC; I ended up responding to them that I had canceled the subscription and since Gevalia had sent me a gigantic amount of coffee I didn't ask for after confirming the last date I would get some, then under the FTC's rule, they sent it as a gift and I could keep it and I didn't have to pay for it.

08:22 schestowitz; but if all you need is beans/blend/instant, it costs 4 cents

08:22 DaemonFC; They kept sending me letters and I just gave up responding.

08:41 DaemonFC; I honestly don't understand how Europeans take their coffee so strong. Two tablespoons per four ounces water is revolting.

08:41 DaemonFC; Just horrible.

08:42 DaemonFC; It's possibly that I got used to 1.5 tablespoons per 6 ounces water which is how most coffee cans or coffee makers say to make it in the US.

08:46 DaemonFC; Google sez: European coffee is typically Robusta beans?

08:47 DaemonFC; Those are considered lower quality than Arabica.

08:47 DaemonFC; Maybe Google is wrong.

08:47 DaemonFC; Robusta beans are considered too low quality to try to pass off for use in drip machines.

08:47 DaemonFC; They typically spray dry it and sell it as instant.

08:48 DaemonFC; I do have some instant coffee, but it's mostly because Mandy seems to have a taste for the stuff.

08:48 DaemonFC; Sometimes he asks me to make a larger amount of drip.

08:48 DaemonFC; Some instant coffee is Arabica, and quite good.

08:49 DaemonFC; Walmart has a Great Value instant Colombian and it's good. It tastes almost as good as drip, but it's much more expensive than the typical instant coffee. By this point you'd mainly buy it if you were camping or something I suspect.

08:49 DaemonFC; I kept a jar of it around at the motel simply due to lack of countertop space for a coffee maker.

22:25 DaemonFC; <MinceR> not a goal the german car industry can reach, but still

22:26 DaemonFC; A man's reach should exceed his grasp, or else what is heaven for?

22:27 DaemonFC; Wanting to be more than you are is only human.

22:28 DaemonFC; But then, realize that almost nobody is actually all that special. If everyone was, then there would be nothing special about them.

22:28 DaemonFC; This is where the self-esteem movement fails.

22:29 DaemonFC; It teaches people that they're better than almost everyone else. They can't all be right. Most can't even be right.

22:29 DaemonFC; That's how median, average, and below average work.

22:30 DaemonFC; What the self-esteem movement did was teach people like Lobsta that their shit smells like freshly baked cinnamon buns and everyone else is garbage.

22:30 jrmu; MinceR: yeah on the website like a site index

22:30 DaemonFC; But what is garbage? Running off and failing to support your own children? Taking a boss that was probably the only person who WOULD hire you or else you'd have made more than $8,000 CAD a year with him to Troon Court over $900 in vacation time?

22:32 DaemonFC; MinceR, So my car was saying Battery Saver Active this morning a few times. But the charging system said everything was nominal.

22:33 DaemonFC; This evening, everything good, no message, but I took it by the mechanic just to see what his machine would say about the battery and the alternator under load.

22:33 DaemonFC; It said both are working okay. Actually it said "GREAT!" on the battery.

22:33 DaemonFC; So while I was there I just knocked out my next oil change even though I was a bit early.

22:35 DaemonFC; He said not many people bring their own oil and filter. I said, "Well, it works for both of us. You get to bill for a conventional oil change without using any shop supplies, and I'm fine with this. The oil company gave me and my spouse so many five quart jugs of oil for $7.50 after rebate that I may have oil after I'm done with the car. But apparently FRAM and Walmart got together to clone the Amsoil oil filters, the ones that are about $25, and they

22:35 DaemonFC; built something just as good for $12 but you can only buy it at Walmart."

22:36 DaemonFC; So we got to talking about those and I showed him the diagram for the thing and someone that cut it open on YouTube. I said, "That's a better filter than GM ever made for these cars, even before the cheap plastic and cardboard PF47Es came out. Remember when everyone just made good stuff because the customer wouldn't have it any other way? Now it's all about trying to be 50 cents cheaper than the other guy."

22:37 DaemonFC; This is Soviet shit, MinceR Soviet shit.

22:37 MinceR; https://engrish.com/2023/07/this-shit-is-crazy/

22:37 TR Bot; This shit is crazy

22:37 DaemonFC; They asked someone why Chernobyl had the disaster during the investigation, not expecting him to answer honestly.

22:37 DaemonFC; And he went through all of the problems, being instead of fixing design errors, they classified them and didn't even tell the people operating the reactor.

22:38 DaemonFC; But moreover, that it was just cheaper to run improperly enriched reactor fuel and to not make control rods the right way.

22:38 DaemonFC; Everything is getting to this level, even a damn oil filter.

22:39 DaemonFC; There were a number of things that all came together to create that disaster. They all had to happen and they did all happen. Fixing just one or two of the things instead of covering it up or trying to pay a little less money to generate nuclear power wouldn't have ever let things spiral out of control like that.

22:40 DaemonFC; The United States has had disasters in its space program and in nuclear power, but we designed things as well as they could be made with the technology available to us at the time. So instead of Chernobyl or Fukushima, the worst we've ever had was Three Mile Island.

22:41 DaemonFC; The only thing anyone remembers about our nuclear "disaster" was Jimmy Carter showing up and snarling traffic so he could walk around the control room for a photo op with paper show coverings on.

22:41 DaemonFC; :)

22:41 DaemonFC; *shoe

22:42 DaemonFC; We've managed our nuclear power program better than the Japanese and a damn sight better than the Russians.

22:43 DaemonFC; The Japanese didn't cut corners on the design, there's just nowhere they could put the thing that isn't in a potential disaster zone, but they did it anyway because they're so deficient in reserves of coal, oil, natural gas, and almost anything else you can produce electricity with.

22:43 MinceR; afaik they also refused to listen to GE when they had some lessons learned from the three mile island disaster

22:43 DaemonFC; The Japanese are one of the few countries on Earth where you need to just cut them a break on the coal fired power plant thing.

22:44 DaemonFC; We should ban coal power plants except for a few countries like Japan. If they can agree to run them as efficiently as possible, I think we need to just leave it at that.

22:44 MinceR; or you could just nuke red china and give japan some land there to produce power with nuclear power plants

22:44 MinceR; and/or do that in north korea

22:44 DaemonFC; Japan did take a lot of China in the Second World War.

22:44 DaemonFC; Keeping it was the trouble.

22:44 DaemonFC; :)

22:45 DaemonFC; It would have been better for the United States and the rest of the Allies to do what George Patton said to do.

22:45 DaemonFC; Keep marching and finish the Russians off while they were bloodied up from the Germans.

22:46 DaemonFC; The Soviets were softened up by Hitler enough at that point that we'd have been able to topple the government in a matter of months.

22:46 DaemonFC; Patton said that and it was basically the end of his career once it made it into the press.

22:47 DaemonFC; The Truman administration calculated, incorrectly, that the Soviets would continue being our allies after the end of the war.

22:47 DaemonFC; It would have been better to just give Patton what he wanted.

22:47 DaemonFC; Drive into the heart of Moscow and cut out the heart.

22:47 DaemonFC; China? Meh, they'd have been a lot more trouble than the Russians at that point.

22:48 DaemonFC; Russia would have been far easier of the two and at least we'd have only had one headache instead of two.

22:48 DaemonFC; MinceR, It's always important to get ambitious enough, without biting off more than you can chew. :)

22:49 DaemonFC; Without a close ally in setting up Communist puppet states, China would have been a lot weaker and easier to contain.

22:49 DaemonFC; Having neutralized the Soviet threat, it's likely that Europe would have coalesced around democracy to the west and east.

22:50 DaemonFC; There would have been none of this "Warsaw Pact" shit.

22:50 DaemonFC; The EU may have ended up spanning all the way through Russia.

22:50 DaemonFC; Which would have made a much better neighbor.

22:51 DaemonFC; Between the EU and NORAD (US and Canada) and the other aligned world states, China would have been pretty wimpy in comparison.

22:52 DaemonFC; Today, Russia is mainly a problem on behalf of the Chinese.

22:52 DaemonFC; Their goal in Ukraine is mostly to cause a mess for NATO so we can't do anything about Xi's Hitler-like plans for Asia.

22:53 DaemonFC; Make no mistake. History will not look favorably on Biden walking around holding hands with Xi.

22:53 DaemonFC; This is his "Peace in our time." moment.

22:54 DaemonFC; What is wrong with peace? Mostly, the fact that the people calling for it are usually the ones causing the problems.

22:54 DaemonFC; It means "Back off for a while so we can get ready to attack."

22:54 DaemonFC; This is what it means when China, Russia, or the Palestinians say they want peace or a ceasefire.

22:54 DaemonFC; They don't actually want peace or there would just be peace.

22:55 DaemonFC; It's amazing that you have to dumb this down enough for a person like Ariadne to understand it.

22:55 DaemonFC; And people like this are still self-hating Jews at a rally for Hamas.

22:55 DaemonFC; That just shows you how diseased the brain really is.

23:19 jrmu; ok so I'd like to hear more about why you think rust is dangerous to rely on

23:19 jrmu; both rust and golang

23:19 jrmu; since I seem to have difficulty pulling up old articles on these

23:20 IPFS; () Planet Gemini updated. Latest complete date at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/planet/othercapsules/2023-12-10.gmi and so far today at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/planet/othercapsules/2023-12-11.gmi with 3-day aggregate at gemini://gemini.techrights.org/planet/othercapsules/allinone.gmi

23:22 MinceR; the main problem i have with rust is that afaik it still has a mozilla-style trademark policy attached to it, which makes it nonfree (similar issues as what mozilla's applications had and probably still have, but it's more aggravated when your build tools need to know what your compiler is called this week)

23:23 MinceR; another problem is that they follow the "move fast and break things" approach so the language has no stable version

23:23 MinceR; code you wrote and compiled last week might not build this week

23:23 MinceR; and afaik MICROS~1 has a lot of influence on it, that's a risk in itself

23:24 MinceR; i don't know that much about golang, just that it's an unnecessarily dull instrument at this age

23:24 *ZedHedTed has quit (Quit: leaving)

23:24 MinceR; (it took a lot of convincing just to have them eventually add support for generics, afaik)

23:24 MinceR; i don't really see any reason to use golang in place of c++

23:26 *inky has quit (Ping timeout: 264 seconds)

23:41 MinceR; https://engrish.com/2023/07/i-was-forbid-the-short-circuit-and-bang/

23:41 TR Bot; I was forbid the short circuit, and Bang

23:41 MinceR; then again, i don't really see any reason to use rust in place of c++, either
