@will
3 minutes to go through the ux flow? or 3 minutes to have the money generated to purchase a unit?
either way, there's a secret cartel.
@slashdot
this might be good to address chrome's heap-binge-eating disorder.
@prx
search for algorave or livecoding it may be interesting
@movq definitely. it's nice to have a place where you can hang your hat and doesn't flood you with programmed information.
i believe @mckinley understands this sentiment :-)
@novaburst i ask because in my search for ayu i get a link to the yakuza wiki which talks about ayu looking for instruction on how to punish people. :-)
@novaburst would you mind sending a link to ayu ? i have been using pass for secure operations in deployment and other bits. but keen to try something different.
@will
meanwhile us archivists are sucking it all down so we don't have to platform anything.
- the-eye
- archive team
@prologic lmao. can you imagine all of the it workers out there sweating while blowing copper through conduit? they've already done it with glass and approximately 60% of the fibre is still dark.
this reminds me of the days when we mux'd d-channels on copper and had to sit in the icey dc's fvcking with stinger/dslam
@eaplmx i'm a big believer in proof of work
but it entails getting off my arse and doing some work looks for shovel, not letting my machine solve complicated math problems for hash-rate vanity metrics.
@prologic
aye, but you likely know my stance by now regarding censorship :-)
in my view, the masses will opt-in and welcome 3.0/2.0/etc with open zombie arms.
meanwhile we are future-proof with ascii!
@slashdot
as a result first-tier cdn systems will not be google or cloudflare? did i understand you right, slashdot?
eof
been here for a few months and have met some really amazing people. thanks for having me. makes me feel at 127.0.0.1
@prologic you need a rest, comrade. i hope you take a holiday soon.
but to answer your question. you're a good man providing for your kin.
also we get to commiserate on the weekends when we're both done working 100hrs and are hallucinating that php is now a compiled language by default :-)
@Rob do they interact in return by chance?
@ullarah
this description of the technology sounds like a really fvcked up sunday night at my place.
either that or they hired a marketing person who does bunk meth :shrug
@novaburst you absolutely could. it's knowing your audience. i have a feeling you'd make a good teacher.
@prologic
we live in a free world. just opt-out. in some parallel dimension there's an engineer who really likes this stuff.
balance is key here.
@ullarah we can solve this problem in a few simple steps:
- create an image in gimp
- add sprinkle of entropy via datamosh
- inject steg of your gpg key
- give it away
nfts are like trading cards for the ego-frail
@mckinley i've had the most success with newsboat. does what i need.
@justamoment i sincerely appreciate this. that was very nice of you.
@novaburst we can likely include circle::3 gluttony which relates to the modern web tooling, browsers, and content eating our machine resources.
@carsten if it works for you, it works for you. i ventured into wordpress when it first came out. didn't really fit my needs.
@novaburst which circle?
weekend:
- test new mesh design
- fieldstrip the thinkpad
- rebuild alpine swarm node on aforementioned mesh
- pr review
- ask myself when to launch my projekts
- consume food
@mckinley they ended up becoming alpine hosts and possibly collapse infrastructure. ;-)
@novaburst josuah speaks my language. while i have used hugo and others having makefiles with common posix tooling works quite well.
i am baffled why one needs interpreted language to spit out ascii.
meanwhile eyeing my personal site. no js and ~120k in total.~
@carsten fair argument, but keep in mind there's plenty of stupid humans on every continent.
@mckinley @prologic sounds like a great chat. didn't catch the notice in time as i thought we might try it next week. :-)
@mckinley guy i know threw me a few bucks to haul off gear including these and a trailer of lenovo trash as he called it.
@prologic
will have a think on it but 05:00 utc saturdays seems balanced.
.us is still awake
.au is alive
.eu is waking or still awake
or if you're eurocrash like me you don't sleep.
@novaburst absolutely reasonable. pixelated brimstone is lovely this time of hear :-)
meanwhile i'm waiting for the gates of hell to open ala stranger things.
@mckinley no problem. by chance did you see my post re: toughbooks?
@prologic have you considered changing the weekly call time so you and the .au folks aren't smoked tired and the rest of the group can be half-way awake?
@darch if you're looking for a replacement syncthing or nextcloud works depending on your use-case
@ullarah i recall the days when you sent them 7 bucks and you received discs in the post. those envelopes made a nice rip sound :wink
| It would be quite an effort to have all of the movie studios agree to that but unfortunately they’re all so fucking greedy.
^ this seems to be the crux
@darch this looks really nice.
interestingly enough this correlates with netflix charging for multi-device/account share testing.
dear netflix:
you made a fvckload more cash by letting us share accounts.
you're welcome...
@mckinley i'm using the same on the go, and have had similar issues with any orange-clouds.
@prologic waf is not useful unless you're being very selective and ignoring tor exits.
@prologic as it should be.
truly a sight to see.
@prologic these are done right.
i love your 5g-hot-swamp
have you considered renting this land out to horror-movie producers? would make a good film.
sometimes you simply don't feel like yourself. or is yourself a myriad of different ideas one dominant over the other at random times?
today i feel like i'm watching a movie, except the world is in it. considering popcorn and a crappy turtleneck ala movie critic motif
@off_grid_living aye. i live a lot like you do, but more city-bound. slowly making my move to off-grid. next step is to close the land i've been eyeballing, then a few years of hard work.
i dream of a life of peace, a good day's work, and some nature.
@screem that's the fvcked thing. today's memories are tomorrow's potential crimes.
by the time your lad is ready to get online likely we'll have usernames such as as48x0480103484048801
squat him one now.
@ullarah this is unpacked really well. a box for everything. the concept of privacy imho is approaching life support. a better tactic imho is compartamentalising your life into boxes. never shall they meet.
@prologic of you've think i've gone off the rails again. there may be truth to this
@mckinley i had an i-thing for a while out of requirements for work. it was very distracting and i'm not exactly pleased with apple trying to break e2ee. luckily was able to rid myself of it.
as for the current grapheneos/pixel if i need to go online there's plenty of open wifi spots as one rides around :-)
@mckinley very reasonable and i don't disagree with your tactics. my own view is less about tracking and more about not being distracted. in a world where attention can be currency, i try to preserve it. i do have a mobile, but there's no sim and it's a glorified messenger when i don't want to lug my laptop around.
@movq i suppose both, but cellular is more commonplace in 2022. i haven't had a landline in who knows how long either.
my world is a bit more quiet without these things. but i choose to live a certain way.
@mutefall note to self. this is cliff-notes for a blog post. release the kraken
i was speaking with @prologic recently who mentioned, like myself @off_grid_living prefers not to have a phone number (and possibly a phone).
this raises a bigger question. can you, a netizen of the world survive sans phone?
let's loop through reasons why one needs a phone in 2022 (and my responses to each):
- social media: nope.jpeg
- banking: if your bank supports mfa via email, or better yet totp/secure tokens nope.jpeg
- friends: most are on signal, twtxt, session, threema, irc
- family: don't have any, but if i did, session or salty(once it's finalised)
- work: fvck em
- doctors: they can send an email
- car repair: i do my own
- online shopping: nope.jpeg
- in-person shopping: get rekt
- government: fvck em too
- pharmacy: email me
- significant other: don't we spend too much time together?
what am i missing here?
@slashdot this is every state, everywhere.
if you've got a good reason for not being tracked, you know what to do.
i'm about to take a rubber sledge-hammer to swarm cluster.
@darch i pull in multiple rss feeds for things i'm interested and transform sites into rss feeds where there's no native support.
gets aggregated into a single endpoint that i can read with whatever reader i choose. makes my life simpler.
@movq i aggregate via rss myself, otherwise it's unmanageable
@carsten i should clarify.
i meant work is good jobs are not, meaning work is meaningful and satisfying (ie research, a hobby, something that adds to your existence) where as a job is something you need to do so that you can do your real work :-)
@carsten they would have a difficult time stealing them from me. much less anything else :-) you can likely do the math on this
| question the operator, not the machine. for human failure is absolute
@tkanos great share. that's one thing i like about argo, is the parallelism capabilities. it's not precise parallelism but close enough. i've been using drone in this manner with a fan-out mid-pipeline but my pipelines became a bit more complex doing so, thus giving argo a day in court
@novaburst
it was an assembly line whilst field-stripping, cleaning, and running installs. two have shot batteries, but can scrounge them up elsewhere. they are currently sitting on an isolated mesh packeting each other because, science
- redacted: these old things don't work, want them?
- me: i've no room for salvage
- redacted: buy you lunch to clear this out?
- me: i'm at your front door
couple of bad drives replaced. now alpine linux
@novaburst i2p might work but may require a shoehorn.
i2p-like behaviour can be achieved with hooking it up to a closed-loop wireguard mesh. running it in one of my darknets in that fashion
@xuu do you really think that's his motive?
@tkanos they passed long ago, but the next seance i have i'll send your love across the ether :-)
@novaburst great work. i had a few bumps in the road with gmifs in a container, but sorted it out as well.
@novaburst was it by chance a network and routing issue? or something else? i run one on my darknet that i've built but there's only a few people on it.
@justamoment might you have a repo to share for inspiration? i promise i won't steal your design
@prologic doesn't seem like a bad idea. their marketplace application appears very straight forward. plus i can say that anytime i've had a support issue they are quick to respond. when i have to host outside of the metal-chamber, i pick linode
@tkanos my parents taught me to keep my money under a mattress. alas, bank accounts are a necessity these days :-)
@slashdot @prologic likely would be the best thing for the platform.
it's been jacked up forever
@prologic linode will be a fairly easy win with their marketplace.
@prologic ask them to open up 25/tcp if you don't mind :hat_tip
@justamoment good call. i recently tried mkdocs but need to work on a theme that i like. started with cinder and am adjusting as i go. i do need a small wiki-like site for myself on the go.
@carsten i found a plugin that does similar with joplin. but the whole thing feels a bit heavy to me. but it's working for now.
@will what could go wrong? not like the government will come snag your bank account
@movq if i recall correctly, your country is quite a bit easier to file. where i'm at now, it takes a team of scientists and used-car salesmen to file it properly.
you have options:
- spend a year working on layer3 ip obfuscation
- spend a year using layer3 ip and give no fucks
@prologic unfortunately too much money is riding on politics.
but i will say
++ anarchism autarchism wrapped in a lemon-scent layer of cryptography
@screem at least they're making good use out of a useless space?
@movq @novaburst spent the last few days in tty, then had to pay my taxes which broke the relaxing streak.
@carsten archivism is one of my interests as well. some of the datasets i collected were becoming too large on an external spinner so i went a similar route. ended up with isci links to my machines over the mesh and introducing encryption at the file system layer.
i still don't have a good system for syncing notes and data between phone and laptop, but the phone is a glorified signal messenger so not much sleep is lost on this
Anthony_Sorace @adi (#zm7xrna)
seems the system is unstable at this time
@prologic no i have not. had a mentor who was in the 7 comma club and one of the nicest human beings. seems over recent years some netizens equate having money to being a jerk.
@novaburst if you're in wheel you should be able to exec via doas
