[06:21:50] zer0s are you guys annoyed with the age verification bill?

[06:23:05] zer0s I heard the support is already embedded in systemd and someone has forked it as a result

[06:24:00] zer0s the problem with legislation is that it never stop

[06:24:02] zer0s *stops

[06:25:26] zer0s this will force a lot of people to use older version of an OS most likely

[06:25:34] zer0s security issues abound

[06:26:17] zer0s just run windows in vm

[06:26:19] zer0s lol

[06:27:09] zer0s honestly worried about these assholes in california pushing this legislation

[06:27:29] zer0s howmaso: interesting

[06:28:38] zer0s systemd already does so much >_>

[06:29:58] zer0s howmaso: eh android installation numbers runs counter to that idea

[06:31:00] zer0s an api call to a 3rd party verification service at such a low level makes me nervous

[06:32:09] zer0s i don't know...systemd is pretty low in the stack

[06:33:08] zer0s that's not going to dissipate my paranoia

[06:33:21] zer0s it sounds like theres just a part 2 coming

[06:34:18] zer0s mlu: it just seems stupid to only have a date field which isn't tied to an ID

[06:34:42] zer0s this is incrementalism

[06:35:12] zer0s mlu: those people need to learn how to control their own network

[06:35:16] zer0s or not have any kids

[06:35:47] zer0s I know

[06:35:48] zer0s :(

[06:35:57] zer0s but I hate their proposal

[06:36:53] zer0s I feel like libraries should all close down at this point or we call them something else. The people in there are almost never reading books

[06:37:22] zer0s ^

[06:37:45] zer0s well arguably, its spreading radicalism

[06:37:49] zer0s in all forms

[06:38:21] zer0s mlu: and people definitely do. seemingly everyday

[06:39:28] zer0s the conversation has digressed

[06:40:09] zer0s kids are going to be kids

[06:40:20] zer0s they'll just go to their friends house, or go to the library

[06:41:08] zer0s mlu: not so unreasonable sounding to me

[06:41:09] zer0s lol

[06:41:25] zer0s "you don't know how to read books, what business do you have at the library?"

[06:42:06] zer0s howmaso: honestly chromebooks are nice cheap little boxes waiting for linux to be installed

[06:42:32] zer0s but chromebooks aren't cheap enough to make me ignore thinkpads

[06:43:03] zer0s FAFO should happen more often, especially the last two characters

[06:43:43] zer0s uppers not downers

[06:43:44] zer0s lol

[06:45:20] zer0s honestly, I think my computing habits would've been better if I was never introduced to a GUI

[06:45:30] zer0s when I was younger I mean

[06:46:03] zer0s DOS? we didn't have the money for anything modern

[06:46:16] zer0s I think by then 95 was out

[06:46:41] zer0s I meant by the time I was a teenager. GUI's ruined my attention span

[06:47:29] zer0s I'm writing to you all from tty

[06:48:25] zer0s yeah I had a used computer as well

[06:48:54] zer0s I didn't use linux full time until I became a dev

[06:49:18] zer0s even when I use my mac, I'm essentially just running linux cli via homebrew

[06:50:13] zer0s *cli apps

[06:50:50] zer0s mlu: what are you running right now, if you don't me asking?

[06:51:05] zer0s hardware and software

[06:53:09] zer0s ah interesting

[06:54:29] zer0s my main is a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W (512mb Ram) running rasbian with no window manager

[06:54:36] zer0s my laptop is a macbook

[06:54:53] zer0s in 2001?

[06:55:11] zer0s I think 2000 was when 1ghz was broken right?

[06:55:23] zer0s threadripper lmao

[06:55:47] zer0s I get the feeling your workstation cost a pretty penny

[06:56:11] zer0s ?

[06:56:19] zer0s ah

[06:56:28] zer0s fuck

[06:56:36] zer0s I dropped my jaw just now

[06:57:01] zer0s I can't imagine spending that much on a single computer, but you probably have a good use case

[06:57:14] zer0s geez

[06:57:23] zer0s lol

[06:57:38] zer0s I'm going to guess the TDP is ridiculous

[06:57:53] zer0s is the linux support at least decent? no driver issues?

[06:58:18] zer0s nice

[06:59:10] zer0s its a shame 10Gbit is still uncommon

[06:59:19] zer0s its so slow by modern standards

[07:00:28] zer0s I want 100Gbit to be common :(

[07:01:06] zer0s fiber isn't common outside of enterprise

[07:01:41] zer0s I have a server I can definitely flood

[07:02:39] zer0s I'm morbidly curious now

[07:02:47] zer0s I didn't see any 100Gbit switches

[07:03:02] zer0s lol

[07:03:21] zer0s lmao

[07:03:39] zer0s well thats really what I'm talking about when I talk about wanting 100Gb

[07:03:47] zer0s home network shit

[07:04:11] zer0s mikrotik!

[07:05:26] zer0s wow

[07:05:54] zer0s I don't have money to piss away on network gear, I've already spent too much on HDDs

[07:05:59] zer0s but I will bookmark

[07:06:00] zer0s :D

[07:09:19] zer0s lol

[07:09:50] zer0s the mikrotik was promising, it was running arm chips as well, still 70+W draw though lol

[07:10:57] zer0s I went overkill on my network switch

[07:11:13] zer0s 5x10Gb

[07:11:38] zer0s eh the brand sucks, tplink

[07:11:52] zer0s wish I waited and got a mikrotik

[07:12:10] zer0s yeah the price was decent

[07:12:18] zer0s I got a used one for like $160?

[07:12:48] zer0s lol

[07:12:52] zer0s that is sketch

[07:12:52] zer0s lol

[07:13:01] zer0s yuanlee XD

[07:13:14] zer0s well its just a switch

[07:13:36] zer0s lol

[07:13:49] zer0s only

[07:14:12] zer0s sketch ram and nvme. Although sabrent isn't bad

[07:14:29] zer0s yeah

[07:14:41] zer0s they've only recently become slightly more reputable

[07:14:46] zer0s still wouldn't buy them lol

[07:15:00] zer0s ASrock makes excellent mobos

[07:15:14] zer0s I don't make desktop rigs anymore though

[07:15:40] zer0s ffs, my main is 1ghz and 512mb of ram

[07:15:59] zer0s ASRock has been solid for a while

[07:16:07] zer0s they debuted as "budget" but still very solid

[07:16:16] zer0s yeah

[07:16:23] zer0s I think its very respectable

[07:16:57] zer0s honestly ASUS and MSI have probably put out more bad products

[07:17:04] zer0s lmao

[07:17:07] zer0s rosewill psu

[07:17:12] zer0s is it at least gold rated?

[07:17:31] zer0s bronze probably

[07:17:32] zer0s lol

[07:18:05] zer0s oh platinum, very nice. 1200W at that

[07:18:14] zer0s SF is expensive af to begin with

[07:18:23] zer0s linux_probe: yeah, I think newegg carries it

[07:18:40] zer0s ^

[07:18:50] zer0s nope

[07:19:04] zer0s I could be wrong though

[07:19:12] zer0s I haven't bought rosewill in forever

[07:19:47] zer0s *unreasonable ftfy

[07:19:58] zer0s lel

[07:20:10] zer0s asrock and platinum rosewill doesn't sound bad

[07:20:18] zer0s the ram is scary though

[07:20:38] zer0s lol

[07:21:02] zer0s I mean to be fair, they're probably buying chips from some big name either way and rebranding

[07:21:57] zer0s chinese ram manufacturers exist now

[07:22:08] zer0s they've been pumping out ddr5

[07:22:13] zer0s oh

[07:22:28] zer0s chunwell? lol another name I haven't heard of

[07:28:17] zer0s lol

[07:28:24] zer0s truly full send build
