[02:09:26] brothchild good day MatCat

[02:10:02] brothchild what work lets you get points for shipping weed? *intrigued*

[02:10:41] brothchild i'm looking for employment in cannabis eradication myself

[02:34:36] brothchild i have the 9900X3D and it worksforme

[02:35:20] brothchild nice

[02:36:38] brothchild yep you'll have about hmm. depends on workload .. maybe aroun 20% more horsepower than me

[02:36:50] brothchild cinebench multicore +23%

[02:37:25] brothchild for llms though we're not really happy campers with 70GB/s DRAM throughput

[02:38:09] brothchild i'll be happy if i can get these 4 sticks to be stable around rated speed

[02:41:38] brothchild i bought the first 64GB two years ago then last september god told me to buy another 64GB even though i couldn't really afford it

[02:41:41] brothchild thank you god

[03:23:16] brothchild i remember when i had access to a $50k computer with 24MB RAM

[03:23:28] brothchild got to babysit it over the summer

[03:24:11] brothchild That was somewhee between when we got money from NIH and private funding

[03:24:29] brothchild so I can't say wheter that box was funded by Anthony Fauci but there's a good chance

[03:28:34] brothchild the *name stealers* stole the definition of inflation

[13:03:03] brothchild https://x0.at/I030.ans two frog frens on phone, 24bit ANSI, 16 lines, utf-8

[14:59:33] brothchild anybody want to do some smart algorithm programming with me

[15:09:22] brothchild baww

[15:09:26] brothchild 2AM best time

[15:09:44] brothchild well, if you don't have to go to work next day

[15:10:21] brothchild o7

[18:37:16] brothchild hi cardboardbox

[18:37:55] brothchild you might see suspicious activity on a network port LED, or a Hard Drive LED. You do have those, yes?

[18:38:34] brothchild you'd think laptops would have activity indictor leds for their I/O, on account of this, but they don't....

[18:47:30] brothchild what's the simplestest agentic browser-controller+scraper. I want to crawl for things matching my search preference

[18:48:11] brothchild no. i don't need this. nvm.

[18:57:53] brothchild that's like Daszak saying "We have to make the human-optimized virus to learn how to stop it"

[18:59:59] brothchild i think a lot of my brothers are experiencing the same

[19:01:10] brothchild i heard someone call the hypershort attention/multitasking "popcorn brain"

[19:02:18] brothchild that's funny

[19:02:30] brothchild i used to say "her mind is like a cloud of bees"

[19:16:55] brothchild mmm

[19:17:41] brothchild i have nothing intelligent say at this point

[19:18:09] brothchild well, i can share some stories of stuff i id

[19:18:12] brothchild *did

[19:18:20] brothchild old guys can do that and not much else

[19:19:05] brothchild my mom said 'i don't feel old *inside*'

[19:19:49] brothchild one thing i enjoyed was 'service on a box'

[19:20:12] brothchild company was having problems

[19:20:31] brothchild lots of services on one box, low bandwith

[19:20:50] brothchild conflicts, package manager and library problems and weirdness

[19:20:59] brothchild when was this, 2001

[19:21:18] brothchild i was like, let me just build this up on seperate boxes some evening

[19:21:37] brothchild "we don't have the machines or space"

[19:21:57] brothchild i was like nah i'll make it out of the junk here, there was plenty of old harware fine for single-service computers

[19:22:11] brothchild so i had the perfect use for my recently acquired lfs / gentoo skills

[19:22:36] brothchild and it was pure fun, i think they were 90mhz pentium-ii's

[19:22:48] brothchild non pentium 1s

[19:22:51] brothchild yea

[19:24:30] brothchild pretty much cut-n-paste and then in the process of that we had seperately bootable boxies and the additional scripts to failsafe/recover

[19:25:31] brothchild we just iterated up to high availability, then the boss merged some of it after i moved on to other things

[19:27:30] brothchild Wen they ported linux to IBM z-series i got the chance to do some work with the hercules emulator, that was neat at least to learn abit about the banking big-iron

[19:29:40] brothchild so ooooo

[19:31:16] brothchild i just had tea so far :P

[19:31:55] brothchild idk how much good it did me

[19:32:20] brothchild it could have been very useful with a different roll of the dice i guess

[19:32:39] brothchild yes it kinda does, but you end up doing a lot of stuff

[19:32:44] brothchild that you never do again

[19:33:09] brothchild nobody does nowadays, it's too vast

[19:33:33] brothchild that's why i like terminal apps!

[19:33:41] brothchild did you see my bash art editor?

[19:34:08] brothchild it undderstandable

[19:34:22] brothchild ah ok just screenshot then

[19:34:38] brothchild it's needing that first refactor like a lizard needs to molt

[19:42:43] brothchild i forgot what wilby does

[19:47:17] brothchild ty

[20:10:42] brothchild i'm sorry you had to endure that; those situations can be dangerous

[20:12:06] brothchild stalkers

[20:12:42] brothchild well i can sympathize

[20:12:55] brothchild ohm

[20:19:35] brothchild i don't think we'll be honoring the intent of the channel creators if I comment

[20:22:48] brothchild systemd doesn't solve any problems for me and introduces a slime that i do not care for

[20:29:32] brothchild i think he over-estimates his originnality, which puts him at a pretty smart 24 years old

[20:30:17] brothchild do you run irssi cardboardbox ? i want to try a color plugin sometime

[20:30:37] brothchild okey i try to make it work with weechat

[20:30:52] brothchild good choice

[20:31:17] brothchild i would choose it over irssi now

[20:34:21] brothchild i got traumatized supporting win95

[20:35:45] brothchild did you enjoy crowdstrike?

[20:36:24] brothchild i made a very pretty 80x25 ansi screen for BBS

[20:36:30] brothchild can ni show cardboardbox

[20:38:32] brothchild https://x0.at/O3IG.png prety happy with that one, really only 80 columns wide

[20:45:30] brothchild well i use a set of tools and do the pixle work in gimp

[20:45:39] brothchild then the final conversion is done by chafa

[20:46:37] brothchild by loosening the locality constraint in (x,y) we should be able to get sharper conversions

[20:46:47] brothchild this would also be very interesting algorithms to xplore

[20:52:46] brothchild neighbor hid had a computer so we worked on stuf together

[20:52:50] brothchild kid

[20:53:36] brothchild what looks weird, the seat?

[20:54:42] brothchild the nolisten tcp tells it to not rende to other puters on your netwrk

[20:54:54] brothchild x11 comes with built-in networked applictions, not needing vnc

[20:55:24] brothchild *networking support

[20:55:59] brothchild it was very frustrating and confusing to me. they over-engineered it for little brains like me, and really limited what got created thereby

[20:57:10] brothchild wayland?

[20:57:38] brothchild it's a bit confusing and i can't tell whose side i'm on in all the arguments

[20:58:16] brothchild fun

[20:58:47] brothchild could just be a bit of hacking to your existing bootloader terminal interface

[20:59:14] brothchild iterate on that

[21:00:11] brothchild it's the kind of ambitious thing that a beginner can add-to, piece by piece, and see meaningful results without slogging for months

[21:01:14] brothchild i think it's a better use of time to write, debug and finish programs

[21:01:51] brothchild bash itself far too complicated, think ms-dos 1.0, cp/m

[21:02:03] brothchild line editors like eda

[21:02:38] brothchild i meant the feature-set of them

[21:02:45] brothchild 100x less complex than bash

[22:04:08] brothchild at one point it was possible to get console on a pc serial port on bootup

[22:04:11] brothchild i assume it still is

[22:04:29] brothchild i used speaker wire once in desperation

[22:06:47] brothchild if it's older hardware i hear one of the failure points is capacitors

[22:07:00] brothchild another ram 'going bad'

[22:07:42] brothchild yeah it is

[22:08:04] brothchild you should get a newer one except if you're in some apartment where random people walk in

[22:08:54] brothchild a good way to keep other people's paws off it

[22:09:56] brothchild is there an offtopic channel we could talk?

[22:11:47] brothchild hi
