[19:48:42] + linuxuser/rizon why is the topic instructing me to fuck with h4 and sur? >:)
[19:49:55] + linuxuser/rizon I didn't say I wanted to
[19:50:01] + linuxuser/rizon I said the topic is instructing me to
[19:50:02] + linuxuser/rizon || fuck with sur, fuck with h4 || fuck with h4, fuck with sur
[19:50:15] + linuxuser/rizon it's saying "|| fuck with sur, fuck with h4 || fuck with h4, fuck with sur"
[19:50:20] + linuxuser/rizon it's telling me to fuck with you
[19:50:54] + linuxuser/rizon Dr_DICK, no need. I'm going in dry.
[19:51:03] + linuxuser/rizon lel
[19:51:46] + linuxuser/rizon Remember kids, oral sex might make your day, but anal sex will make your hole weak!
[19:55:00] + linuxuser/rizon there's no such thing as normal
[19:56:30] + linuxuser/rizon >Finnegan’s paper began with the electrifying sentence, “The average Canadian has one testicle, just like Adolph Hitler — or, more precisely, the average Canadian has 0.96 testicles, an even sadder plight than Hitler’s, if the average Anything actually existed.” He then went on to demonstrate that the normal or average human lives in substandard housing in Asia, has 1.04 vagina
[19:56:30] + linuxuser/rizon , suffers from malnutrition and never heard of Silken Thomas Fitzgerald or Brian Boru. “The normal,” he concluded “consists of a null set which nobody and nothing really fits.”
[19:56:55] + linuxuser/rizon although I think there's a mistake in that math
[19:57:14] + linuxuser/rizon it should be 0.54 vaginas
[19:58:02] + linuxuser/rizon thus the "normal" or "average" human has 0.96 testicles, 0.54 vaginas, lives in substandard housing in Asia, and cannot read or write.
[19:59:10] + linuxuser/rizon You never go back because you learn from your mistakes?
[20:07:35] + linuxuser/rizon if modern OS's were still written in assembly, do you have any idea how fast they would be, and how little space they would take up?
[20:08:03] + linuxuser/rizon I rate the ASCII/ANSI joke VT100/10
[20:08:55] + linuxuser/rizon just in case no one got the reference
[20:10:02] + linuxuser/rizon it's why telnet clients generally default to emulating a VT100 or at least aim for VT100 compatibility
[20:13:09] + linuxuser/rizon OS written entirely in assembly
[20:20:31] + linuxuser/rizon WW3 about to kick off by the looks of it
[20:20:58] + linuxuser/rizon ikr
[20:22:22] + linuxuser/rizon it's like a slow simmer, the whole Ukraine thing, China trying to bully everyone around the South China Sea, and now this
[20:24:22] + linuxuser/rizon whole thing's convoluted too. I honestly think the Ukraine thing is US/NATO's fault. Of course Russia doesn't want NATO missile silos in Ukraine pointed at them, it's like the Cuban missile crisis all over again.
[20:25:38] + linuxuser/rizon China's been picking fights all over South East Asia for quite a while though
[20:27:00] + linuxuser/rizon The US I have mixed feelings about. In theory, the US is great. I greatly admire their constitution, for example.
[20:27:03] + linuxuser/rizon !bang
[20:27:05] + linuxuser/rizon !bang
[20:27:49] + linuxuser/rizon in practice, yeah, you have stuff like the whole WMD's thing, the way they're treating Julian Assange, all the illegal warrantless spying on everyone...
[20:29:05] + linuxuser/rizon !bang
[20:30:17] + linuxuser/rizon China is definitely making untoward moves in South East Asia in general, and even as far as the Solomon Islands
[20:59:18] + linuxuser/rizon <socraticDev> australian even dont feel safe
[20:59:22] + linuxuser/rizon funny you should mention that
[20:59:31] + linuxuser/rizon I live in Western Sydney...
[20:59:58] + linuxuser/rizon lol
[21:00:29] + linuxuser/rizon >A western Sydney police chief was beaten with a pole by a group of teenagers on Monday.
[21:01:00] + linuxuser/rizon >“One of those offenders has now been charged with assault occasioning grievous bodily harm was 12 years old and they assaulted him with a makeshift weapon,” President of the Police Association Kevin Morton said.
[21:01:52] + linuxuser/rizon on one hand, yeah, violent crime is ridiculous here. Bashings, assaults, stabbings... all the time
[21:02:10] + linuxuser/rizon on the other hand, the cops here thoroughly deserve it, so no sympathy at all when it happens to them
[21:02:58] + linuxuser/rizon idk what they were expecting when they made it entirely illegal to carry any type of defensive weapon whatsoever. Even pepper spray is illegal.
[21:04:08] + linuxuser/rizon China isn't going to attempt anything outright to Australia. It would immediately trigger response from the entire rest of the Commonwealth, not to mention the US.
[21:05:20] + linuxuser/rizon Australia is in a unique position though. We actually have mutual defense treaties with both the US and China.
[21:06:52] + linuxuser/rizon Personally, I strongly suspect that most of China's current posturing and provoking is being done mostly to distract their citizens from their domestic problems. Chinese bank runs, for example. Their domestic economy is imploding.
[21:07:52] + linuxuser/rizon Nothing like riling up the populace with the prospect of war against a foreign enemy for distracting from major problems at home.
[21:08:16] + linuxuser/rizon It's Super Effective!
[21:13:32] + linuxuser/rizon !bang
[21:13:40] + linuxuser/rizon oops
[21:19:21] + linuxuser/rizon w/b Piba
[21:21:30] + linuxuser/rizon hi Saphir
[21:23:20] + linuxuser/rizon no idea, but then I don't own an imac
[21:26:06] + linuxuser/rizon You could connect an external monitor I guess?
[21:27:33] + linuxuser/rizon I don't do much image editing, so I don't need anything that well calibrated
[21:28:14] + linuxuser/rizon err
[21:28:24] + linuxuser/rizon Gentoo is a linux distro
[21:28:55] + linuxuser/rizon linux is technically just the kernel, but most people refer to a whole OS or "distro" as just "linux" too
[21:29:14] + linuxuser/rizon Gentoo's been around for a long time now
[21:30:10] + linuxuser/rizon I use Mint and Debian mostly, but I'm also familiar with Red Hat and Fedora. Never really gotten into Arch, Gentoo or LFS (Linux From Scratch)
[21:32:14] + linuxuser/rizon I think the idea behind Arch, Gentoo and LFS is that you generally compile most of it yourself from source, which is time-consuming and requires more technical knowledge, but gives you the opportunity to cut out any bloat and just include what you want.
[21:33:39] + linuxuser/rizon linux systems have pretty much captured the market everywhere outside personal desktop/laptop
[21:34:38] + linuxuser/rizon Last I checked, 100% of the top 500 fastest supercomputers were all running linux, vast majority of servers on the public internet do, devices with embedded OS's, like routers, smart TV's, etc.
[21:36:16] + linuxuser/rizon probably the main reason for it is that there's no licensing fee to use it for most distributions in the majority of commercial applications
[21:36:41] + linuxuser/rizon I've seen a lot of stuff based on BSD for that reason too
[21:37:34] + linuxuser/rizon macOS is largely based on BSD
[21:38:05] + linuxuser/rizon a lot of Cisco gear like the Meraki cloud-based stuff, based on BSD. Juniper routers and switches running JunOS, based on BSD
[21:39:35] + linuxuser/rizon yes and no
[21:40:12] + linuxuser/rizon the average mac user is probably just as much the "point-and-click" type as the average Windows user
[21:40:57] + linuxuser/rizon I think for servers, the licensing is a much bigger deal
[21:41:39] + linuxuser/rizon like suppose you need an SQL server. Compare what you're going to pay in licensing to do that with Windows Server and MSSQL, vs. linux and mariaDB or MySQL
[21:42:45] + linuxuser/rizon yeah, I'm sure there's plenty of that too. People that insist on having an iPhone instead of an Android because they think buying the more expensive device is some sort of social status symbol
[21:44:35] + linuxuser/rizon lol
[21:44:55] + linuxuser/rizon I constantly had that argument at my last job
[21:45:37] + linuxuser/rizon Managers insisting that they "needed" the latest iPhone... I said "What for? Explain to me what you need to do that this cheaper Android can't do?"
[21:46:48] + linuxuser/rizon I have a macbook air, 2020 model
[21:46:52] + linuxuser/rizon hardly ever use it
[21:47:04] + linuxuser/rizon most of the time I boot it up, it's only to install the updates on it. lol
[21:47:39] + linuxuser/rizon for actual day-to-day use, I far prefer my "ancient" 2011 ThinkPad
[21:48:18] + linuxuser/rizon eh, yes and no
[21:48:34] + linuxuser/rizon you can still jailbreak an iPhone
[21:49:14] + linuxuser/rizon Android devices are all encrypted by default these days, locked down bootloaders
[21:49:50] + linuxuser/rizon just use OEM's
[21:49:54] + linuxuser/rizon yeah
[21:50:14] + linuxuser/rizon I've never been a huge fan of Sony stuff, although I do own some
[21:50:42] + linuxuser/rizon idk, I'm a little weird tho. I prefer industrial gear to "consumer-grade"
[21:51:15] + linuxuser/rizon blitzed, I like my ancient 2011 Lenovo ThinkPad, but it is starting to show its age now...
[21:51:39] + linuxuser/rizon Like it only has legacy BIOS, no UEFI. Easy to solve with CloverEFI Bootloader, but still...
[21:52:13] + linuxuser/rizon I'm inside a VM for IRC
[21:52:28] + linuxuser/rizon Client: HexChat 2.14.3 • OS: LinuxMint "una" 20.3 • CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5620 @ 2.40GHz (2.39GHz) • Memory: Physical: 1.9 GiB Total (1.2 GiB Free) Swap: 728.3 MiB Total (95.8 MiB Free) • Storage: 21.2 GB / 32.6 GB (11.4 GB Free) • VGA: VMware SVGA II Adapter • Uptime: 3d 23h 17m 0s
[21:53:00] + linuxuser/rizon my ThinkPad has a 2nd gen i5 in it
[21:53:20] + linuxuser/rizon actually so does the desktop box I repurposed into a fileserver/NAS
[21:54:02] + linuxuser/rizon I think the biggest thing showing its age on my ThinkPad is the Intel HD 3000 graphics tho
[21:54:48] + linuxuser/rizon still pretty serviceable for me, I mean the thing only has a 1366x768 screen on it, so I never bother watching anything with higher than 1080p source on it
[21:55:44] + linuxuser/rizon most of the "issues" I ran into with my ThinkPad were due to me hackintoshing it
[21:56:08] + linuxuser/rizon at one point I had it multibooting Win7, Win10, Linux Mint, macOS and Android x86
[21:56:45] + linuxuser/rizon they have H.265 hardware support?
[21:56:47] + linuxuser/rizon aka HEVC?
[21:56:58] + linuxuser/rizon yeah
[21:57:07] + linuxuser/rizon I see the attraction of it, for saving disk space
[21:57:21] + linuxuser/rizon but native H.265 in the browser when?!
[21:57:35] + linuxuser/rizon I don't think even Safari supports it natively yet?
[21:59:22] + linuxuser/rizon oh, ok
[21:59:26] + linuxuser/rizon according to this
[21:59:39] + linuxuser/rizon Edge and Safari have H.265 support now
[22:00:39] + linuxuser/rizon but I don't use either, even if I'm on a Windows box or a mac. lol
[22:02:28] + linuxuser/rizon to avoid high CPU usage on my Plex server, I just stick with throwing H.264 files on it
