IRC Driven

[05:23:05] Gentoo winblows is incredibly user-unfriendly, there's just a massive psyop that have convinced all the normies that it is.

[05:23:21] Gentoo The kernel, Linux, doesn't handle font rendering.

[05:23:59] Gentoo powershell is dogshit

[05:24:22] Gentoo cmd is even worse.

[05:24:38] Gentoo Imagine running pretty much DOS commands.

[05:24:52] Gentoo Install GNU bash for your freedoms sake.

[05:25:46] Gentoo It's GNU's shell. People love to call it the "Linux shell" incorrectly.

[05:25:48] Gentoo https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/

[05:26:33] Gentoo Ubuntu comes with bash by default and that's that implements the CLI that you see in the terminal emulator.

[05:27:56] Gentoo Batmanhush, All running proprietary software?

[05:28:33] Gentoo Cringe and proprietary pilled.

[05:33:02] Gentoo Wew, rusty.

[05:33:33] Gentoo Most Core 2 duo boards max out at 16 or 32GB, let alone support a single stick of DDR3

[05:34:14] Gentoo Does that say GA-EP23-D52?

[05:36:22] Gentoo Try to finish typing before pressing enter probably.

[05:37:20] Gentoo The memory support depends on the memory controller in the CPU and also the physical sockets available.

[05:37:36] Gentoo Get a KGPE-D16 and GNUboot it - that will fit 128 GB of ECC DDR3 no problem.

[05:37:50] Gentoo be able to correct it even if I look at it anyway you mean?

[05:38:02] Gentoo Time to learn.

[05:39:10] Gentoo You still have plenty of neuroplasticity, it's just that you refuse to learn.

[05:40:18] Gentoo That's what books typically do.

[05:40:40] Gentoo That's what typically happens.

[05:41:26] Gentoo Photographing memory?

[05:43:02] Gentoo That's a photographic memory I believe. I thought you were taking a photo of RAM memory.

[05:45:05] Gentoo !bang

[05:45:06] Gentoo !bang

[05:45:08] Gentoo !relad

[05:45:13] Gentoo !reload

[05:45:28] Gentoo Piccolo, You say as I run you down with GNU/Tank.

[05:46:20] Gentoo What kind of camera is that? It's ultra-blurry,

[05:46:58] Gentoo Yes.

[05:49:32] Gentoo Those core 2 duo's are good as they at least boot up without proprietary malware and therefore they can be GNUbooted.

[05:51:12] Gentoo esjay, MNT Reform is sadly proprietary.

[05:51:57] Gentoo The FGPA board isn't programmable without proprietary software and you can't get eDP on the ARM board without proprietary software.

[05:52:23] Gentoo I'm getting myself a nice quad core thinkpad made to GNUboot.

[05:53:10] Gentoo esjay, Note the "open source" part. Every time someone writes "open source", there's a good chance that there's proprietary software hidden.

[05:53:21] Gentoo NiniGeo2, There are FGPAs that you can program with only free software, like the iCE40 line.

[05:54:05] Gentoo NiniGeo2, Works fine for my use case.

[05:54:57] Gentoo I can't bring myself to buy newer CPUs as they don't boot without proprietary malware.

[05:55:14] Gentoo The fastest AMD64 CPU that can be used in freedom that I got my hands on is the 6282 SE.

[05:55:21] Gentoo *Opteron

[05:57:50] Gentoo caplink, Almost all Intel CPUs made after 2008 won't init without proprietary Management Engine software and that software has a signature on it to stop you from replacing it.

[05:58:51] Gentoo There's the me_cleaner project, that can remove such completely from core 2 duo and below `git clone https://github.com/corna/me_cleaner.git`, but for newer CPUs, all it can do is remove a few modules.

[05:59:15] Gentoo kot, They have the Platform "Security" Processor, which is different in some ways and worse in others.

[05:59:40] Gentoo Extra-proprietary, but GNUboot is a fixed-up version.

[05:59:58] Gentoo Batmanhush, Every single used on github is a dumbass.

[06:01:20] Gentoo They're being used by microsoft, who just takes the work and gives snippets of it to codemonkeys to write proprietary malware via co-pilot.

[06:01:41] Gentoo kot, Gitlab is proprietary too and even worse in some ways.

[06:02:00] Gentoo Gitea is acceptable, as well as the many available, non proprietary git forges.

[06:02:40] Gentoo Git is decentralised software that works just fine over mailing lists, so it doesn't make sense to centralise it onto someones proprietary server.

[06:03:04] Gentoo github *is* run by a for-profit company.

[06:03:24] Gentoo It was proprietary from the very start, m$ buying it just turned the proprietary up to 11.

[06:04:29] Gentoo The AMD PSP at least doesn't have a networking stack out of the box, but it runs proprietary software and there's a signature on that to stop you from replacing it.

[06:06:12] Gentoo kot, Pretty bad, as the utter keck actually helped intel to write their proprietary malware and didn't even feel ashamed when it was being used to take the freedom from billions of users.

[06:06:56] Gentoo fifel, Since everyone dropped it for GNU.

[06:07:10] Gentoo Even Linus Torvalds dropped it for his kernel, plus GNU.

[06:08:01] Gentoo >Using an experimental, non-realtime OS for resuscitators The frick?

[06:08:35] Gentoo For that sort of thing you should really be using seL4 with the provided OS.

[06:11:16] Gentoo esjay, "*nix" pattern matching is way too broad. It includes Linux, Minix, Unix and many others, even though those aren't related.

[06:11:38] Gentoo caplink, It will, but why would you run proprietary malware? Run Hexchat instead.

[06:12:20] Gentoo Irc freedom already complete, so why go out of your way to surrender it?

[06:12:37] Gentoo caplink, I've been looking for the unicorn proprietary software that isn't malware, but I haven't found any.

[06:12:44] Gentoo Maybe it could be that unicorns don't exist.

[06:13:12] Gentoo The fact that you're forbidden from inspecting, modifying and sharing the software is malicious enough.

[06:15:12] Gentoo caplink, Disassemblers aren't perfect, there are endless tricks to subvert disassemblers, it's very easy to hide intentional malware features as accidental bugs, disassembling takes hundreds of hours and dissasembling certain software may be illegal to do.

[06:17:19] Gentoo kot, I've only applied malware to any piece of software that is malicious by design, which is all proprietary software.

[06:18:04] Gentoo !bang

[06:18:34] Gentoo kot, If the source code is provided and it's under a free software license, there's a good chance it's not malware. If it is malware, the community will find out eventually and release a fixed version.

[06:19:13] Gentoo https://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/evilmalware.html

[06:19:40] Gentoo Name one piece of free software with a malicious feature that hasn't been fixed?

[06:20:08] Gentoo GNU/Jihad against "FOSS"!!!!!

[06:20:17] Gentoo Please don't group me with "open source" infidels.

[06:21:02] Gentoo Name one piece of widespread free software malware that has gone undetected for years.

[06:21:26] Gentoo Free software or libre software, as that was the original terms and the best.

[06:21:37] Gentoo https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html#four-freedoms

[06:22:22] Gentoo "FOSS" is the ultimate confusion technique carried out by proprietary interests.

[06:23:36] Gentoo GNU was here before the proprietary kernel known as Linux, so what splintering>?

[06:24:31] Gentoo The "open source" crowd intentionally decided to split themselves, because freedom makes companies uneasy.

[06:25:51] Gentoo kot, The article you linked seemed to be about a .deb download for proprietary software for GNU/Linux, except sometimes a different type of malware to the typical proprietary malware was swapped in place.

[06:27:58] Gentoo Free software isn't invincible, but the MTBF of malware is thousands of times better and fixed versions are always released.

[06:28:29] Gentoo Ubuntu used to contain spyware in the search - that was soon discovered and people released fixed versions soon afterwards.

[06:29:16] Gentoo But it *was* discovered and *fixed* for sure, unlike no proprietary software even.

[06:29:20] Gentoo *ever

[06:29:50] Gentoo I'm not even infighting, I only go against proprietary software companies and I can tell when the slimy sort are hiding behind "open source".

[06:30:10] Gentoo I go outside and touch grass.

[06:31:02] Gentoo Yes, if you embarrass a proprietary software company with a 9.8 score CVE, they might get around to releasing a security patch.

[06:31:33] Gentoo It's illegal under copyright law for most proprietary software to receive a security patch from the community.

[06:33:17] Gentoo The owner of the POS should run only free software for their freedoms sake, but that's not my computer. I tend to avoid purchasing things.

[06:33:49] Gentoo Still, I do want to live in the forest away from the proprietary things and not have to interact with any form of proprietary software.

[06:34:11] Gentoo That would be ideal, but I'm not at that stage.

[06:34:32] Gentoo kot, That's a security via obscurity argument. Security via obscurity does not work.

[06:35:17] Gentoo Free software can make you plenty of money, but not ludicrous profits, as those can only be achieved by exploiting people.

[06:36:12] Gentoo There are plenty of ways to discover vulnerabilities in proprietary software and then exploit such - it's only really just a bit hardware from finding the vulnerability in the source.

[06:36:34] Gentoo *bit harder than finding the

[06:37:51] Gentoo Give up on what?

[06:38:59] Gentoo Yes, that's pretty hard, as most companies are looking to sue you, rather than reward you for disclosing a vulnerability.

[06:39:21] Gentoo It's pretty much highly skilled, time consuming, gambling - but sometimes you do strike it big.

[06:39:38] Gentoo Software gets larger year after year, so there's always more CVEs.

[06:43:39] Gentoo I don't have panic attacks anymore, even though I do know much better how bad things are.

[06:45:04] Gentoo 10°C?

[08:11:03] Gentoo wez, There's plenty of radiations therapy sources floating around in hospitals all over the place, which I would worry about a lot more than nuclear power stations where they actually have to keep proper control of the fuel.

[08:13:38] Gentoo Cobalt-60 is hella spicy.

[08:14:22] Gentoo Yes, Lucas Heights send out generators for the radioisotopes of extremely short half lifes.

[08:14:59] Gentoo There are also medical radiation sources with a spicy block of cobalt-60, which lasts a very long time.

[08:15:05] Gentoo *sends

[08:16:19] Gentoo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goi%C3%A2nia_accident?useskin=monobook

[08:16:49] Gentoo Yes, much better than the default degeneracy now.

[08:16:54] Gentoo vector is okay too

[08:17:24] Gentoo In that accident it was caesium-137, but that's about as spicy as cobalt-60 really.

[08:18:07] Gentoo They typically use Iodine isotopes with short half lifes.

[08:19:08] Gentoo I believe the idea is to pump in Iodine, which is taken up by thyroids full of cancer, which kills the cancer, but promptly proceeds to decay so the rest isn't killed.

[08:20:37] Gentoo Now that's a lot of medical incidents: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_orphan_source_incidents?useskin=monobook

[08:20:58] Gentoo Compare that to barely any incidents with nuclear reactors and nuclear fuel processing.

[08:22:56] Gentoo RAN?

[08:23:01] Gentoo Diesels?

[08:25:48] Gentoo Ah yes.

[08:26:16] Gentoo Generally those submarine reactors work fine mostly unattended unless you control them wrong.

[08:26:35] Gentoo Seething frencies.

[08:27:32] Gentoo The frenchies were actually willing to convert nuclear submarines to diesel ones.

[08:27:55] Gentoo Now they're getting modern one from daddy USA, despite the lead time of decades.

[08:28:58] Gentoo Lots of benis can be sucked inside submaries.

[12:12:24] Gentoo Know any areas with a NEET price range?

[12:13:02] Gentoo Not engaged in Education, Employment or Training.

[12:14:57] Gentoo I would be careful with revealing the town you're living in, as in Australia you can find someones home address with just their name and going to the town with the list of addresses.

[12:15:10] Gentoo Based.

[12:15:29] Gentoo Openstreet map can't even find that.

[12:15:43] Gentoo Bendalong?

[12:16:42] Gentoo >Houses in Bendalong are >$1,000,000 Of course.

[12:17:04] Gentoo I see.

[12:18:22] Gentoo I wonder where I can get forest land for cheap without having to go to the desert near say white cliffs

[12:18:54] Gentoo Tasmania is a bit yikes. May as well move to New Zealand.

[12:19:36] Gentoo Braidwood looks like a desert on openstreetmap, but I guess that's probably not right due to the mountain

[12:20:09] Gentoo Lets see, satellite...

[12:21:25] Gentoo Hmm, seems to be flatland rather than the hills I was hoping for.

[12:21:59] Gentoo Lots in Braidwood seem to be >$300,000

[12:23:01] Gentoo Being able to actually freeze to death is an issue for NEETing.

[12:24:19] Gentoo I have like <$20,000 to spend on land sadly.

[12:26:19] Gentoo Sadly still ridiculously priced land.

[12:27:04] Gentoo I don't mind as long as I got trees and a river or stream running through.

[12:28:09] Gentoo Still pricey, I'm looking for empty lots to build a Ted shack on.

[12:29:56] Gentoo I can utilise a property along the Wollondilly River, but it's not my land.

[12:31:03] Gentoo Coal dust doesn't play nice with me sadly

[12:32:45] Gentoo I really do not like how a place to leave is regarded as an extravagant luxury,

[12:33:49] Gentoo I probably won't even need dole payments once I get everything I need setup and the food source sorted.

[12:34:55] Gentoo I am unfortunately already employed, so I don't need any more work.

[12:35:23] Gentoo You'll find me somewhere near the Central Coast or near Sydney at different times of the week.

[12:36:32] Gentoo What kind of businesses do you own?

[12:37:52] Gentoo It's nice to offer a job, but you're leaving us hanging here.

[12:39:17] Gentoo I can't really decide anything without a rough idea as to what the work will be.

[12:42:05] Gentoo It is in most countries out of designated nudist areas or events.

[12:44:57] Gentoo People do not like when I climb trees and happen to seem to look at the direction of yards it seems.

[12:46:01] Gentoo Since society much fetishise being unclothed.

[12:46:34] Gentoo There's a nudist colony near the Wollondilly River if you want to join one.

[12:46:57] Gentoo Or maybe transform Cumnock into a nudist town.

[12:48:14] Gentoo Or Coomer

[12:50:14] Gentoo Or Harden (near Wagga Wagga). Who came up with these town names.

[12:55:53] Gentoo You can go to Fairfield west for Neeta City Shopping also.

[12:57:37] Gentoo Getting more meth really is an incredible motivator.

[12:58:57] Gentoo There's an anime figure store at Abbotsbury, but ehh I reckon the one in Sydney is better.

[12:59:18] Gentoo Reminded as Abbotsbury is near Fairfield.

[13:00:15] Gentoo I don't dislike them, but I don't have any real likeness to their culture.

[13:00:34] Gentoo It is.

[13:00:40] Gentoo Faulconbridge - whoops, we couldn't spell falcon.

[13:01:05] Gentoo Vietnam war jokes are good.

[13:01:24] Gentoo >When the trees start speaking Vietnamese.

[13:03:42] Gentoo There's Broke town as well - I guess that mine wasn't successful.

[13:04:39] Gentoo I may as well move to Japan over Tasmania.

[13:05:15] Gentoo It depends where you go to. Backwater places are cheap, but good luck getting citizenship.

[13:05:42] Gentoo Japan is a pretty big, mountainous country after all.

[13:06:15] Gentoo Last time I was is an earthquake it didn't even wake me up.

[13:06:38] Gentoo I don't mind earthquakes unless they're of damaging magnitude.

[13:07:04] Gentoo !bang

[13:09:03] Gentoo !bang

[13:10:11] Gentoo So it seems my only hope is cheap desert land in far west NSW. Ehhh...

[13:11:30] Gentoo I don't know anyone in NZ really.

[13:12:17] Gentoo A 6 hour car ride in a reasonably fuel efficient car isn't too bad.

[13:13:07] Gentoo Yes, if I move to NZ, I was referring to far west NSW.

[13:13:25] Gentoo I was impressed how a modern SUV was able to make it from Sydney to Victoria on a single tank of fuel and still have some fuel left.

[13:14:57] Gentoo Nice.

[13:15:14] Gentoo It seems I need to do an illegal build if I want a house otherwise.

[13:16:17] Gentoo updog, I've looked up farms, but they're all more expensive than houses.

[13:16:46] Gentoo I can go hunting for deer if I really want.

[13:17:24] Gentoo But wild deer meat is just terrible, even slow cooked really/

[13:18:11] Gentoo In NZ they pretty much banned all semi-automatic rifles for civilians like in Australia if I remember correctly.

[13:18:57] Gentoo I know someone who had 2 AR-15s (?) in NZ, but did get a good buyback price for them.

[13:19:53] Gentoo Semi-automatic rifle usually chambered in .223, but can be chambered in .22 or .308

[13:20:44] Gentoo wez, Not really? I know a gun nut who has lots of guns and few .22's.

[13:21:37] Gentoo updog, You might miss the first shot and it's faster than having to cycle the bolt?

[13:22:28] Gentoo Closed bolt.

[13:22:52] Gentoo updog, Very useful for genocide or shooting into a crowd of protestors.

[13:23:06] Gentoo That's why the government and military can have them and you can't.

[13:23:43] Gentoo Gas piston

[13:24:51] Gentoo No idea, I really haven't had a chance to even look at an automatic rifle.

[13:25:51] Gentoo Ah yes, I have dry-fired an unloaded military machine gun on the armoured personal carrier and it seems that was a closed blot, gas piston one?

[13:26:04] Gentoo *on a

[13:27:06] Gentoo Design was so good I managed to hurt my hand on it without even operating it that hard, let alone firing it.

[13:31:31] Gentoo Well, I better go to sleep so I'm not too late to wageslaving tomorrow - good night.
