That's significantly more than the total GDP, which very very obviously is faked anyway (the companies that's tied to are grossly overvalued to keep the #pyramidScheme afloat). For comparison, a year ago #uk national debt was 2,206.5 billion and we DO NOT claim to have (fake) trillion-dollar companies...

13:59 kingoffrance; i have a question for you DaemonFC -- you are the only person who might know

2 PM, January 4

14:01 kingoffrance; https://www.google.com/search?q=mortgage+first+time+homebuyer (or anything else, doesnt matter). is a first time home loan, for a first time home buyer, a "mortage"?

14:01 -TechPolBot/#techpol-www.google.com | mortgage first time homebuyer - Google Search

14:01 DaemonFC; <kingoffrance> https://www.google.com/search?q=mortgage+first+time+homebuyer (or anything else, doesnt matter). is a first time home loan, for a first time home buyer, a "mortage"?

14:02 DaemonFC; A home loan is always a mortage, but there's different types of mortgages for different people in different circumstances.

14:02 DaemonFC; And some even come directly from the government, while others are government-backed and the banks agree to certain stipulations in order to write the loan.

14:03 kingoffrance; a mortgage is a pledge, a security, in case of default, yes? one can only pledge something they own?

14:03 kingoffrance; im not suggesting anything...just a gulf between legal language and everyday use

14:03 DaemonFC; Generally speaking, the best type of loan if you're not a military veteran is what's called an FHA loan, there's a type for a first time homebuyer who will use it for their primary residence and usually you get a better deal if it's far far away from a major city.

14:03 DaemonFC; You can get interest rates as low as 1% on these if you qualify.

14:04 DaemonFC; They're serviced by the US Department of Agriculture as part of their Rural Development program.

14:04 DaemonFC; Banks don't want you to know it so that you'll sign a much worse deal with them and get 3-4 times as much interest.

14:05 DaemonFC; schestowitz, ^

14:05 DaemonFC; <kingoffrance> a mortgage is a pledge, a security, in case of default, yes? one can only pledge something they own?

14:05 kingoffrance; well let me show ye olde definition

14:05 DaemonFC; If you can't come up with 10% as a down payment, the law requires the bank to charge you PMI, but under the Rural Development loan, PMI can be avoided with a 5% down payment.

14:06 DaemonFC; Private Mortgage Insurance protects the lender in case of default, but that doesn't mean you're off the hook.

14:06 DaemonFC; They'll still sue you.

14:06 kingoffrance; https://eb11a.s3.amazonaws.com/bookeb11.html page 877

14:06 -TechPolBot/#techpol-eb11a.s3.amazonaws.com | NO TITLE

14:06 kingoffrance; i know, im trying avoid any of that such stuff

14:06 DaemonFC; if you couldn't avoid PMI when you "bought" the house, you have to cancel it in writing, and can only do it after 21% of the loan has been repaid.

14:07 kingoffrance; im just saying -- you might pledge your car, or your future earnings, or something, for a loan, to purchase a land/house/whatever. but you cannot pledge teh house/land as it isnt yours yet

14:07 DaemonFC; <kingoffrance> im just saying -- you might pledge your car, or your future earnings, or something, for a loan, to purchase a land/house/whatever. but you cannot pledge teh house/land as it isnt yours yet

14:07 DaemonFC; Well, the house itself is the collateral.

14:07 kingoffrance; yes

14:07 DaemonFC; If you don't pay, they repossess the house (foreclosure), evict you, and then sue.

14:07 kingoffrance; im not suggesting anything fishy either

14:07 kingoffrance; just maybe has expanded beyond old definitino

14:07 DaemonFC; Whatever they can't sell the house for is what they sue you for.

14:07 kingoffrance; yep

14:08 DaemonFC; The law says they have to minimize their loss, but they don't necessarily get a good price on the house.

14:08 DaemonFC; So you can be in deep shit.

14:08 kingoffrance; the old one, if you see page 877

14:08 kingoffrance; A the owner of land in freehold, conveys to B blah blah blah

14:08 DaemonFC; Same thing happens with a car.

14:08 DaemonFC; You buy it and take a $30,000 loan.

14:08 DaemonFC; You lose your job two years from now.

14:09 DaemonFC; Bank repossesses car. Bank auctions car off. Bank only gets $3,000 at auction, you owe $20,000. Bank sues you for $17,000, their lawyer's fee, and court costs.

14:09 DaemonFC; And you have no car.

14:09 DaemonFC; It's the same with the house.

14:09 DaemonFC; The threat is losing the house.

14:10 DaemonFC; Along with every penny you've ever paid the bank.

14:10 DaemonFC; Plus being sued for the difference.

14:10 DaemonFC; <kingoffrance> A the owner of land in freehold, conveys to B blah blah blah

14:11 DaemonFC; In the US, a house has a postal address, but it also has a very long legal description for the plot of land.

14:11 DaemonFC; And almost nobody knows it, but it's in the deed.

14:11 DaemonFC; The bank has a lien on the deed unless you pay off the mortgage someday.

14:11 DaemonFC; 30 years is kind of a long time.

14:11 DaemonFC; It's a really shitty deal.

14:11 kingoffrance; yeah, i just mean that was A could only mortgage that land because he was owner

14:12 DaemonFC; Most people can't make it. They think they can but then the hidden costs add up.

14:12 DaemonFC; Insurance, the heater exploded. The water heater crapped out. It needs a new roof.

14:12 kingoffrance; so B loans A some money, A stays on the land, makes payments

14:12 kingoffrance; if A defaults, B gets it.

14:12 DaemonFC; Yes, so you're effectively a tenant of the bank.

14:12 DaemonFC; I told Mandy this.

14:13 kingoffrance; yeah im just wondering who mortgaged it :)

14:13 DaemonFC; I said his sister doesn't own a house. She's just making payments to some other dickhead, and the bank doesn't fix anything.

14:13 kingoffrance; or who is mortgagor, mortgagee

14:13 kingoffrance; maybe they make you mortgage it right away, i dont now

14:13 kingoffrance; *know

14:13 DaemonFC; Most banks don't care (other than what the law requires them to) if you can pay the loan.

14:13 DaemonFC; They're the originator.

14:14 DaemonFC; Over 30 years, they can sell off your mortgage to a new bank several times over, securitize it (gambling), whatever.

14:14 DaemonFC; As long as the terms don't change, they can sell it to whoever they want to.

14:14 DaemonFC; They own your mortgage and can sell it.

14:14 kingoffrance; yeah, i just wonder if buried in the nuances, it comes out to something like: ill give you money, to buy xyz, on condition you mortgage it right away

14:14 DaemonFC; You get a letter that someone bought it and you'll have to make your payments to that company now.

14:15 DaemonFC; It's two separate agreements.

14:15 kingoffrance; ok

14:15 DaemonFC; It's a promise to pay and it's a contract that says they can take it away if you don't.

14:15 kingoffrance; interesting

14:15 DaemonFC; If you file bankruptcy and throw the mortgage into it, the part about foreclosure isn't affected.

14:15 DaemonFC; They just can't sue you or report it on your credit.

14:15 DaemonFC; But if you keep making payments, they can't foreclose.

14:16 DaemonFC; Same with a car.

14:16 kingoffrance; ok, thank you, you at least understand this stuff

14:16 DaemonFC; It's better to file bankruptcy on your car even if you plan to keep it.

14:16 DaemonFC; Ss long as you make payments, they can't take the car back, and they don't want to anyway.

14:16 DaemonFC; But if you later default, then there's nothing they can do other than taking the car back.

14:17 DaemonFC; Some people are tricked into "reaffirming" the car loan.

14:17 DaemonFC; Which means it survives the bankruptcy with the promise to pay intact, and they can sue you and report a repo later if you don't pay.

14:18 DaemonFC; The bankruptcy ripping up the consequences if you don't pay is absolutely worth doing 100% of the time if you're in bankruptcy court anyway.

14:18 DaemonFC; Don't let them trick you.

14:19 DaemonFC; You can do the same with a mortgage if I recall correctly.

14:19 DaemonFC; If you have a landlord you owe money to, you can throw him in and it makes you current on the rent, but he does not have to sign another lease with you.

14:19 DaemonFC; So plan to move at the end of your lease.

14:19 DaemonFC; But he can't evict you at that point.

14:20 DaemonFC; If your landlord is moving to evict you, and you can file bankruptcy, file bankruptcy.

14:20 DaemonFC; It stops the state court actions immediately while the bankruptcy case proceeds.

14:20 kingoffrance; i should add teh footnotes on link seems ...contradicts "vadium vivum" that is perhaps ancient stuff, just never trust any single source

14:21 DaemonFC; For starters, it lets you stay in the apartment for 3-4 more months while the court gets around to you, and when you exit bankruptcy he can no longer evict you or charge you for the back rent.

14:21 kingoffrance; seems to be a different derivation anyways

14:21 DaemonFC; Be prepared to move, and don't use him as a reference, but nothing will be on your credit report about an eviction or a judgment for him.

14:21 DaemonFC; Once all that mess is cleared up, most of the credit bureaus let you "dispute" addresses.

14:22 DaemonFC; I deleted most of my old ones by saying things like "I don't recall living there." or "Incorrect housing type" or something.

14:22 kingoffrance; well, i dont have any such issues. just wondering how it went from the olde definition to the modern

14:22 DaemonFC; Then you can make shit up like, "Oh yeah, I was living with Dear Aunt Gretchen!".

14:23 DaemonFC; I've broken about 6 leases, never paid off a single one, never had an eviction, never got sued.

14:23 kingoffrance; it talks about 3 "eras" of roman law, and equity v "the law" etc. so its perhaps changed over the centuries

14:23 DaemonFC; Filed bankruptcy on all of them.

14:23 DaemonFC; Wiped them off my credit reports so that I wouldn't have to list them as prior addresses on rental applications.

14:24 DaemonFC; Yeah, well, possession is always a big one.

14:24 DaemonFC; If the landlord has possession and doesn't have to kick you out, they're much less likely to go to court for anything at that point unless you just utterly trashed the place.

14:25 DaemonFC; Get out before they have to get you out.

14:25 DaemonFC; If they go for an eviction, you're blackballed _and_ they'll ask the judge for a ruling on back rent since they're already there.

14:26 DaemonFC; You owe the full amount of the lease as soon as you sign a lease. In most states, the landlord has to find a new tenant and stop billing you as fast as they reasonably can.

14:26 DaemonFC; But an apartment may "reasonably" remain vacant for months.

14:26 DaemonFC; The closer you are to the end of the lease, the less likely they are to go to court if you break it.

14:27 DaemonFC; You go to court when you can get a big ruling, not penny ante bullshit.

14:28 DaemonFC; If you know the system, you can put your thumb on the scale sometimes and nobody will bother to stop you.

14:28 DaemonFC; In every transaction, the person taking advantage of you hopes you don't know the rules and procedures.

14:29 DaemonFC; If you play chess against a grandmaster and you don't even know how to move a pawn on the board, you lose 100 times out of 100.

14:30 DaemonFC; You have to control what your enemy thinks it knows about you.

14:30 DaemonFC; Part of this is creating illusion, some of it is letting them assume things that aren't the case.

14:31 DaemonFC; When they make assumptions that aren't true, then their planning will deviate further from what they have to do to get their best outcome.

14:31 DaemonFC; schestowitz I think understands that MARISOL was just another piece on my chess board.

14:32 DaemonFC; Useful for getting a filing approved and then we can remove the piece from the board when it's no longer advantageous to keep it there.

14:33 DaemonFC; Immigration will never approved an application from a household that can't support itself without another sponsor. So you get another sponsor that thinks that she has you wrapped around her little finger, wait for the filing to be approved, piss her off so her explosive temper has her go and do something stupid, like pay a lawyer $1,000 to undo that, but by then it's too late because they sent your spouse a work permit and you make enough money now.

14:34 DaemonFC; So they have to approve a case that could have never been filed.

14:34 DaemonFC; You need to use psychology in every day life.

14:34 DaemonFC; What motivates people is not hard to figure out.

14:35 DaemonFC; Most people will gladly stab you in the back. You have to anticipate that.

14:35 DaemonFC; But you have to make them think that serving your best interests serves theirs until it's too late for them to change anything.

14:36 DaemonFC; I played John for a fool as well, because he is.

14:36 schestowitz; sounds like it

14:36 schestowitz; infantile too

14:36 DaemonFC; And the state's attorney saw his case slipping away where it really wasn't, and rushed to make me a deal.

14:36 schestowitz; looking for kids his own age

14:37 DaemonFC; That could have been two Class D Felonies, and a hate crime.

14:37 DaemonFC; In the end it was a Class C Misdemeanor.

14:37 DaemonFC; Because I confused the state about where this was heading.

14:38 DaemonFC; I knew as soon as the cops started saying "Your roommate told us...." just to leave it alone.

14:39 DaemonFC; I was thinking "They aren't done filing the charges yet. If you want this to be domestic violence instead of assault, open your mouth!".

14:40 DaemonFC; schestowitz, So in arraignment court I showed up and told the judge that I understood the charges, and they were entered into the docket as two Class A Misdemeanors.

14:40 DaemonFC; Then the prosecutor figured out that it was "domestic violence", but it was too late to do anything about it.

14:41 DaemonFC; Except move it to a different court room.

14:41 DaemonFC; From there, John started pestering me about the car and what I was going to do with it.

14:41 DaemonFC; I said, "Well, you know, obviously if I go to jail I won't have an income. Hey, shit happens, right?".

14:43 DaemonFC; "Hey, isn't that guy you met on Grindr here illegally? I could have sworn I heard about ICE camping out in the courthouses. It's just not right, you know?"

14:43 DaemonFC; schestowitz, It was kind of funny because he wanted to meet me at a restaurant called Garibaldi's.

14:44 DaemonFC; And that reminded me of something Mr. Garibaldi might have done on Babylon 5.

14:44 schestowitz; Garibaldi

14:44 schestowitz; gary baldy?

14:45 DaemonFC; Anyway, after that, my attorney said "Well, neither of them want to cooperate for some reason and the prosecutor is offering us a deal for Disorderly Conduct.".

14:45 DaemonFC; "John tried to report you for stealing his cat, and now he says you can have it and he's sure you're taking good care of it.".

14:46 DaemonFC; I said, "Yeah, I lost $5,000 worth of furniture and a $25,000 car and had to live in a motel, but he lost a cat he didn't even take care of.".

14:47 DaemonFC; Lawyer, "Well, they want you to sign an agreement that you won't contact John for a year.".

14:47 DaemonFC; Me: "I don't care if I ever talk to him again.".

14:47 DaemonFC; Lawyer: "They want you to go see your therapist."

14:47 DaemonFC; Me: "He's not a therapist. He just does medication management once every 6 months. Do they know that?".

14:48 DaemonFC; Lawyer: "No. Might be an idea to keep it that way."

14:48 DaemonFC; Me: Oh, great minds think alike.".

14:48 DaemonFC; Lawyer: "They want you to do community service."

14:49 DaemonFC; Me: "Can you try to get rid of that in exchange for a bigger fine? I'm filing bankruptcy anyway."

14:49 DaemonFC; Lawyer: "I think so."

14:49 DaemonFC; :)

14:50 DaemonFC; Lawyer: "They want you to do 12 months supervised probation."

14:50 DaemonFC; Me: "How about unsupervised and no conviction?"

14:50 DaemonFC; He goes and talks to the prosecutor.

14:51 DaemonFC; Lawyer: "They're offering 4 months supervised and 8 months unsupervised if you are complying with the terms, and no conviction."

14:51 DaemonFC; Me: "Deal!"

14:51 DaemonFC; Me: "Oh, and put it in there that I can go to Indiana if I want to."

14:52 DaemonFC; Lawyer: "They almost never do that."

14:52 DaemonFC; Me: "Just ask. Tell him I'll sign it if they add that too.".

14:52 DaemonFC; He comes back: "Well, they added that, so you don't need permission from the probation department to go to Indiana.".

14:52 DaemonFC; Then I signed it.

14:53 DaemonFC; 8 days later I skipped the car payment.

14:53 DaemonFC; John started blowing up the phone, calling the prosecutor going "HE TRICKED ME! HE TRICKED ME!!!".

14:53 DaemonFC; Nobody cared.

14:54 DaemonFC; MinceR, He started messaging me again a couple months ago.

14:54 DaemonFC; I got on one of those anonymous text services and sent him Youtube link for the end music from Portal and Portal 2.

14:56 DaemonFC; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9RIHOnGGsg

14:56 -TechPolBot/#techpol-www.youtube.com | Portal & Portal 2 Songs ("Still alive" & "Want you gone" & "Turret song") - YouTube

14:57 DaemonFC; schestowitz, I can bury the fact that that even happened this year.

14:57 DaemonFC; I'm filing for an expungement in August.

14:58 DaemonFC; The expungement gets it out of the court computer.

14:58 *schestowitz scrolls up

14:58 DaemonFC; So nobody will be able to access the case file.

14:59 schestowitz; [14:53] <DaemonFC> John started blowing up the phone, calling the prosecutor going "HE TRICKED ME! HE TRICKED ME!!!".

14:59 schestowitz; now he is well endowed with debt

14:59 DaemonFC; HAHHAHA

14:59 schestowitz; "anjoy your endowment, sucker"

14:59 DaemonFC; No job at the TSA.

14:59 DaemonFC; Lots of debt he stupidly racked up when I told him to just ride Metra and be happy.

3 PM, January 4

15:00 schestowitz; I'm sure Luis brings home the bacon

15:00 schestowitz; Jono Bacon

15:00 DaemonFC; Luis dumped him right away.

15:00 schestowitz; epic

15:00 DaemonFC; John told me Luis's family was a bunch of illegals that were telling him to get far away from this before he got them all deported.

15:34 MinceR; DaemonFC: lol

15:35 DaemonFC; Yeah, John was running because he didn't want the bill for the car. Luis was running because his family was telling him to shut up before ICE started nosing around.

15:36 DaemonFC; It was great. The prosecutor lost almost all of his leverage just like that.

4 PM, January 4

16:00 kingoffrance; cats could see in dark apparently, so there was horus in cat form

16:01 kingoffrance; that was supposedly one of the charges against the templars, but seems they were just following egyptian protocol

16:07 activelow; meanwhile, i succeeded to repair linux kernel v5.10LTS, it compiles again with legacy gcc4.7 (as a preparation to downgrade further such ass gcc-4.6 without any c11 feature, and later tinycc or gcc)

16:08 activelow; the best part was C11 _Generic introduced recently: https://dpaste.com/DB75YSA57

16:08 -TechPolBot/#techpol-dpaste.com | dpaste: linux-5.9.16-gentoo-gcc47.patch

16:10 activelow; in fact the macro expansion was less lines of code than the macro itself (in seqlock.h)

16:10 activelow; it was the llvm/clang crowd who introduced _Generic (and who knows what else), into both C11 "standard" and recently into GNU/Linux kernel

16:11 activelow; since then, kernel cannot be compiled without a c++ compiler anymore (a compiler written in c++), which is nasty, evil

16:12 activelow; too, the #error "your compiler is too old"; well no it's not, it's supposed to be standards compliant, ideally c90/c99

16:13 activelow; certainly, something has changed, for a long time linux kernel remained conservative with compilers (gcc-3.2 minimum), and the shitshow began with kernel v4.19, v5.10LTS(5.8 and 5.9), and again kernel v5.15

16:16 activelow; kernel v4.18 was the last one with gcc-3.2 miminum; meaning 3 years ago a severe attack against GNU/Linux began

16:17 activelow; then, kernel v5.8 iirc llvm/clang was supported with glorious C11 and C++ compilers required

16:18 activelow; reminds me what Torvalds had to say about c++, and i cannot comprehend anymore how maestro linus had accepted this, and why, because he must have noticed but didn't say anything except for "biggest release" ever

16:19 activelow; wait no, gcc-4.5 was the one without C11 features i think

16:21 activelow; don't know yet for sure, and suspect there will be many more "errors" the compiler was "too old" (because standards compliant instead of vendor extensions)

16:22 activelow; furthermore, i had trouble with launching an aarch32 kernel from an aarch64 u-boot loader (got some friendly help in oftc from @arm.com)

16:23 activelow; however, what i had noticed, with aarch64 made me think again, to refrain from aarch64 entirely

16:23 activelow; since i didn't know, i acquired those aarch64 SBC and i'll keep those, with some nasty hack necessary to keep an aarch32 userspace with them at least

18:12 kingoffrance; "kernel v4.18 was the last one with gcc-3.2 miminum; meaning 3 years ago" yes that is very interesting, makes it seem very recent of a change

18:23 activelow; kingoffrance: yes, ~3 years ago, and it is a fundemental change, strategic somehow

18:25 activelow; it is known, tinycc (and/or pcc with C90/C99 compliance) could compile linux kernel (v2.6 verified, and maybe v3.x/v4.x with some adaptions) and gcc itself (v2.95 verified, and probably gcc-3.2 too with adaptions)

18:26 activelow; with gcc-4.9 and llvm/clang compatibility against alternative c90/c99 compilers was fundementally broken

18:27 activelow; even if, for example, tinycc or pcc decided to implement c11 (whic they shouldn't for the sake of sanity), i doubt GNU/Linux kernel and gcc remain compatible

18:28 activelow; #error "your compiler is too old"; didn't git log that one yet, to track down the source of this wisdom, and whom to ask in Linux Foundation

18:29 kingoffrance; i agree "too old" is ridiculous message, unless they somehow think that is "user friendly". its either code is written to some standard or not

18:29 kingoffrance; "age" has nothing to do with it -- either its adhering to some standard or not

18:30 activelow; #error "Torvalds and RMS: you are too old, your compiler and kernel cannot be used anymore"

18:31 kingoffrance; yeah, thats a small thing maybe, but shows the mindset

18:32 activelow; instead, llvm/clang (Apple, Gulag) are welcomed explicitely with an #ifdef; and i couldn't fully grasp the idea of C11 _Generic yet (introduced by llvm/clang into C11 "standard")

18:32 activelow; simply see the patch, seqlock.h, what passed minimum acceptance test into mainline kernel

18:33 kingoffrance; someone once told me rust is better than c, because c has no reference implementation, therefore no standard

18:33 kingoffrance; now ppl complain rust has no documented standard. funny how that works :)

18:34 activelow; "rust" can be considered a frontend, supported by llvm exclusively; and if any sort of C cannot by fed into a C99 compliant compiler then this has the same effect

18:34 activelow; reminder, gcc-4.9 and llvm/clang are in fact C++ compilers (written in C++), the fact only these understand the C11 magic is another gimmick of this strategy

18:36 activelow; the other problem: any sane compiler remaining doesn't support aarch64, besides other issues with this architecture (aarch64 has some fundemental conceptual differences to aarch32: PSCI/ATF/Exception-Levels)

18:37 activelow; meaning at the front of mobile, with ARM, the stop sign is aarch32 armv7a; i would remain even more conservative with armv6 btw. (raspberry PI1 era)
