[04:07:27] + brothchild unbelievable my laptop's x power management is completely disabled but something is sleeping / hibernating me

[04:07:39] + brothchild no systemd and all the fucking websites are cancered with systemd advice

[04:07:45] + brothchild there is no forgiveness

[04:09:10] + brothchild hmm interesting

[04:11:37] + brothchild none applicable but i need to inspect acpi more

[04:11:46] + brothchild also maybe it's the 'seat' or 'elogind' shit

[04:11:54] + brothchild also written by clueless children

[04:12:34] + brothchild some *fuck* decided to "save the planet" by turning off my computer which IS ACTING AS A MUSIC PLAYER

[04:16:51] + brothchild ha

[04:18:10] + brothchild grep -i -E "suspend|sleep|pm:|acpi|shutdown" /var/log/syslog.1 /var/log/syslog

[04:18:50] + brothchild i only see something that seems to have occured when i woke up and moved the mouse

[04:18:54] + brothchild acpi_fakekeyd

[04:19:53] + brothchild hm only event in /etc/acpi/events is powerbtn-acpi-support

[04:20:40] + brothchild elogind is the standalone fork of systemd-logind. Its entire job is to track user sessions and, by default, handle power events based on DBus calls from your Desktop Environment (like XFCE, LXQt, etc.).

[04:26:27] + brothchild yeah this is some policykit shit

[04:26:40] + brothchild more poettering paternalism. i hope he gets what he deserves

[04:34:08] + brothchild oo there's the renable sysrq -- in /etc/sysctl.conf

[04:34:23] + brothchild https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/sysrq.html

[04:36:05] + brothchild ok mister 'modern' linux laptop, i am now back at the machine every *minute*

[04:36:09] + brothchild * * * * * DISPLAY=:0 xdotool mousemove_relative -- 1 1 && sleep 0.1 && xdotool mousemove_relative -- -1 -1

[04:37:52] + brothchild whatever 'save the planet' thunberg imposed auto-shutdown on my computer can go get bent

[04:39:04] + brothchild what shit

[04:44:33] + brothchild that would launch me into new planes of hatred

[04:45:10] + brothchild thanks for the suggestion

[04:46:10] + brothchild no systemd here

[04:46:34] + brothchild here's a fun one to run when friend is away from console, gravity-accelerated falling mouse

[04:46:37] + brothchild i=0; while true; do DISPLAY=:0 xdotool mousemove_relative -- 0 $i;sleep 0.1; (( i += (i < 10) )); done

[04:47:09] + brothchild yeah

[04:47:46] + brothchild best one i saw was back in 1994 our star programmer 'shal' hope on friend's devbox while he was on bathroom

[04:48:28] + brothchild opened up that dos assembler, patched in a bios hack to randomly swap a keypress every hundred keys or so

[04:48:59] + brothchild and friend came back, continued showing us his new project

[04:49:05] + brothchild then keys impossibly mistyped

[04:49:46] + brothchild it was a bit cooler than a bash script

[04:50:30] + brothchild only one i ever thought of myself was back on bsd 4.2 make another student's tty writeable

[04:50:39] + brothchild so i could send them ansi animations without them asking for them

[04:53:50] + brothchild i'm pretty stupid, i still will default to an if-then when a math trick can do it like (( i += (i < 10) ))

[04:54:54] + brothchild but now i have been better trained and now i am ashamed when i do it

[08:04:01] + brothchild ID-10-T: how about GNU make still not reporting errors on the correct line numbers (ignoring comments)

[08:04:27] + brothchild I might put that on my tombstone, 'waiting for gnu make to fix line numbers on error reports'

[08:04:44] + brothchild sucks to have only a few years left

[14:31:41] + brothchild blapinus font castle https://x0.at/E4GL.png 120 columns, 24bit color

[14:49:49] + brothchild don't destroy your own productivity

[14:50:02] + brothchild hows this for a terminal font Shahid

[14:50:13] + brothchild blapinus font castle https://x0.at/E4GL.png 120 columns, 24bit color

[14:50:29] + brothchild can't do that with libvte

[14:50:45] + brothchild oops already pasteded

[14:51:35] + brothchild alright it's fun to be able to run these things on craptop but it's not very productive

[14:51:54] + brothchild productive would be integrated workflow in krita, i should get that going
