#

the wife has had one of the big ipads (pro?) for a few years and it's worked without wifi issues. I'd definitely return something like that

latent mural
#

lol

timid chasm
#

I personally hate idevices but hers is working fine

latent mural
#

the repait technician should git gut

pale sigil
#

Ipad is the only thing i like from apple

#

And I didn't but from apple

latent mural
#

apple fucks up so much that I wouldn't trust them

pale sigil
#

So that's fine in my eyes

latent mural
#

becasue if my device is broken it'S 100% my fault

#

because I am using it wrong

pale sigil
#

It's hard to break a device unless it's an actual user error

latent mural
#

yeah

#

except when apple designs their shit badly

#

and their laptops just have a bnroken keyboard

pale sigil
#

We still have an ipad 2 lol

latent mural
#

or the screen led assembly disconnects

pale sigil
#

They don't break easily

latent mural
#

or the 48V can accidentally touch the porocessor

pale sigil
#

My mum is using an ipad air 1 too

#

Which is over 5 years old

latent mural
#

yeah

pale sigil
#

Still runs good

latent mural
#

the ipad didn't have retarded issues with the touch ic

#

which got a band aid fix

chrome estuary
#

oh god apple support's music fucking sucks

latent mural
#

how does it compare to this?

chrome estuary
#

I could find myself not annoyed by this.

#

apple is playing modern style music because i didn't have time to change

#

a 20minute phone call to just restart the fucking device, network settings, and my router & modem

#

this better fix it

pale sigil
#

@chrome estuary 20 min? Damn that's lucky

chrome estuary
#

I was on hold for like 10 of it

pale sigil
#

anyone remember that website that gives you cards to use?

#

that you can topup or use for trials

#

ye i forgot too

#

found itr

#

xD

#

aww its US only

#

mhmm

#

In general im after a online banking service, im sick of being taxed when i cant use paypal

#

dont really wanna pay

#

xd

#

i love the concept so much

sick creek
#

for real tho

#

saying IRC has OS-native clients isn't providing an alternative to discord

#

5 hours?

#

that goes to show how out of touch you are

#

please, tell me more about how you

#

will fund development of native apps - hiring, learning the underlying platform, etc

#

even if you convert to something like python where you can build an OS-native client, you still need the PEOPLE to do that

#

and that basically means starting over

fair gull
#

but..... js also builds os native with electron

sick creek
#

ok even i'm not naive enough to claim that

#

electron is nice and all, but it's still a chrome tab

fair gull
#

so chromium is not native enougj

crimson wigeon
#

Monitor what else the user is doing on the computer

fair gull
#

i see

sick creek
#

i'm not saying that

#

chromium itself is native, sure, but v8 is interpreted

crimson wigeon
#

Thought it's JITted

fair gull
#

so all websites using js are also shit

#

cause they interpret stuff

#

we should go back to plain html

sick creek
#

look i'm not anti-JS LMAO

#

@fair gull i think you're confusing me with lobster rn

fair gull
#

@sick creek u were the one who saids v8 is interpreted tho

#

not lobster

sick creek
#

i'm just saying, as a matter of being consistent

#

technically electron apps arent really native

#

i was never going to try and claim they were

#

i didnt want to seem like a hypocrit

fair gull
#

anyway so the suggestion basically is we all go back to c and cpp and do os native shit

#

sounds good

sick creek
#

i was trying to argue that doing so was foolish

fair gull
#

id suggest c tho so our lord and saviour torvalds likes us

#

it kind of is

#

like in some cases

#

but honestly dont get the hate he has for it

sick creek
#

linus torvalds is a genius but he's also lazy as fuck

#

better in what sense though

#

better for your pride?

fair gull
#

2 ms faster

#

and 200mb less ram

sick creek
#

irrelevant

#

security is not a flaw of javascript

#

its a flaw of the application

#

a native app can be just as insecure

pale sigil
#

javascript in general is a flaw of itself

#

xD

sick creek
#

but potentially has lower-level access to the system

#

access to your data

#

and thats where it stops

#

lol

#

electron is, yes

#

every language has issues

fair gull
#

the only part that runs in electron is the gui stuff tho backbone shit like communicating with the websocket and rest api is done in node

sick creek
#

thats why there are so many lul

#

if there was a perfect language, nobody would use anything else

fair gull
#

c

sick creek
#

being competent at C is a lot bigger of an ask than being competent at JS or python or C#

fair gull
#

rm -rf app

#

breaks it

sick creek
#

i dont understand your question

#

i understand what a buffer overflow is

#

yes

#

how does JS do what

#

not in the same sense

#

it doesnt directly access memory like a system-level language would

#

so the concept of a buffer overflow in js is more theoretical than anything

#

except that in practice this doesn't occur

#

i'm not being difficult

#

completely different issue

#

that has nothing to do with buffer overflow

#

XSS is just arbitrary loading of unauthorized code

fair gull
#

v8

#

js itself doesnt have buffer overflows iirc

#

v8 would need to produce it

sick creek
#

no, but it's inherently different

#

it has different issues

#

just because python can have buffer overflow and js cant

#

doesnt mean that js is superior

fair gull
#

also doesnt mean its perfect

sick creek
#

well, by default?

#

it's not lol but ok

#

yes i'm humoring you

#

layers being?

#

v8

#

node

#

but node uses v8

#

before that, basically the javascript interpreter from each browser

#

it's compiled into byte code, so in theory yes

#

assuming said byte code is correct for your system

#

because C/C++ is compiled and JS is interpreted

#

JIT or otherwise

#

like i have been trying to say

#

there's nothing wrong with that, though

#

i dont understand the implication that such a thing is a problem

#

well, just like java has the JRE

#

javascript has something similar

#

it's the cost of being universally runnable

#

php is similar in many ways, despite being built on C

fair gull
#

only if it has a compiler on said platform

#

if there is no compiler u need to first make one

sick creek
#

yes but arguing that because both can run on any platform is not a good argument for why you should make programs in C/C++

fair gull
#

yes

sick creek
#

-> cheaper

#

whether it's cheaper BECAUSE it's easier or because JS devs are paid less is debateable

#

it's still cheaper

fair gull
#

and easier than c or cpp which want u to use memory directly with pointers etc

sick creek
#

i've been in dev for 15 years

#

i'm speaking from the POV of someone who started at the bottom, and now run a business

#

you dont always make decisions based on what is "best" in whatever metric you're using to define what "best" actually means

#

not necessarily

#

i can't speak to what their personal reasons were

fair gull
#

iirc discord chose this style for better support of custom libraries

sick creek
#

but if i had to guess it is the ubiquitous nature of JS devs, the mature ecosystem, and multiplatform support

#

IIRC it's easier to port a JS app to phones than a python one

#

QT, GTK, etc are fine, but the amount of work involved getting each client to behave the same across different OSes is certainly higher than simply building ONE app in JS where everything behaves exactly the same way no matter the platform

fair gull
#

its the easiest way to distribute node apps

sick creek
#

probably?

#

i can google it for you if you want

fair gull
#

uh not that i know of

#

at keast electron wise

#

its not on android or ios

#

theres 3 dev teams anyway

#

discord desktop, mobile and ios

#

they are developed seperately

#

which is why they work massively differently

#

and dont have all the same features etc

sick creek
#

ios app doesnt work that differently

#

tbh

fair gull
#

its 8:22

#

doesnt exist

sick creek
#

from what i'm reading, discord is using react native for the mobile clients?

#

EST

#

0224

pale sigil
#

anyone use both atom and brackets?

fair gull
#

just use vsc

pale sigil
#

this hurts

fair gull
#

brackets hasnt updated in a year or so iirc

#

shit

#

i dont use atom cause it starts slower than my addon filled vsc install

#

plus i was never able to find a good docker atom integration

crude cipher
#

Lol Amazon

If there's typo in your eBook, it's important to search for the term throughout the text to ensure all occurrences are corrected. It's also important to review your text for errors of a similar nature. The search function of Kindle Previewer can helpf locate all instances of a repeated typo that need to be fixed.

#

helpf

fair gull
#

should typo fix their shit first

pale sigil
#

i now love Atom

crude cipher
#

What feature there?

#

Remote filesystems?

pale sigil
#

mhmm

crude cipher
#

Looks like there's an extension that results in something similar for VS Code, wonder what the pros/cons are between them

pale sigil
#

Atom allows so mych

#

*much

pale sigil
#

Started using FireFox, there's containers for everything

#

tis good

fair gull
#

i hate atom

#

it has nothing over vscode

#

and yes vscode has an extension that does the same

wheat plume
#

Oh yeh.....I remember creatig websites for web dev class.....now we just focus on the Javascript part of them

latent mural
#

@tight flare do you have all your fans pointing in the case?

fallow bison
#

I do

#

yolo

latent mural
#

oof

#

any reason to it

#

or was it just a "more fresh air = better"

fallow bison
#

It doesnt affect my temps & i have LL fans which look better faced outward

latent mural
#

do you have a fan in he back?

fallow bison
#

Nope

latent mural
#

oof

fallow bison
#

corsair crystal 280x

latent mural
#

I have ll fans

#

couldn't bear to have them all pointing in weird directions

#

and sucking air from my gpu

fallow bison
#

Me neither, but aslong as my temps arent affected i wont bother

#

2 degrees doesnt bother me anyways

pale sigil
#

Heh just found this on linked in

#

Police playing some beat saber

#

Durham Police Force

tight flare
#

@latent mural yes, positive pressure. The back fan cools the vrm

#

I have to put the psu cover as well

latent mural
#

why not close the case and turn around the fan?

ashen spindle
#

Why not close the case with a gigantic fan blobhyperthinkfast

latent mural
#

nah

#

purely positive/negative pressure isn't ideal

solar hinge
#

needs more cat though

ashen spindle
#

does a cat add positive or negative pressure though?

latent mural
#

depends on how fluffy it is

#

usually it adds pressure and stress

pale sigil
#

deffo positive vibes when i see one

#

latent mural
#

at least when it is in your pc

latent mural
#

rip me

#

was thinking about getting a g305

#

prices went up like 20€ since rec0nkill started modding again

tight flare
#

I will close it lol, it’s a glass panel btw

latent mural
#

looks like the darkbase pro 900 white edition

fair gull
#

idk why theres no covers for the empty bays tho

#

and why is it btx

latent mural
#

you can switch it

#

and you don't need covers for the empty bays, sicne you'd have a solid panel behind them

fair gull
#

idk i dont like the non cover look even with the panel

#

and yes but why is it btx

#

i hate btx so much

latent mural
#

well, if the cable managemnt isn't messy af it wouldn't look bad

#

and it is ATX out of the box

fair gull
#

ik

latent mural
#

but you can switch it to BTX

fair gull
#

why would anyone switch tho

#

id rather rearrange my desk than switch to btx tbh

#

just dont like shit upside down

latent mural
#

not always possible

fair gull
#

ill make it possible

latent mural
#

in some cases you'd be sitting between wall and pc

fair gull
#

or just not see inside it like rn

latent mural
#

and why do you hate it so much anyways?

fair gull
#

because shits upside down

latent mural
#

and?

fair gull
#

and on geforce cards u cant switch the labeling

#

so the text is upside down

#

ruins the look imo

#

and since ud switch to btx so u can look inside

#

well

latent mural
#

you know what is much worse

#

look at what slot the gpu is in

fair gull
#

wont even start on that

latent mural
#

only gets worse if the case is closed

#

I hope that isn't a 2080 (ti)

fair gull
#

but ya i opted for under my desk and with the glass away from me

#

dunno the msi designs so i cant tell

latent mural
#

I opted for second table

#

you can't see it from the cooelr alone anyways

fair gull
#

well my desk isnt big enough anyway cause small room

latent mural
#

looks like the gaming z

#

which is their higher end cooler for all cards

fair gull
#

will move soon and have big desk then

solar hinge
#

@tight flare need more cat pictures

tight flare
#

It’s the db700 white

#

@latent mural it is at no slot 😉 pcie riser

#

Who wanted more cat pics?

#

(This keeb is not the wooting)

latent mural
#

What keyboard is that?

#

Reminds me of cm

tight flare
#

The one in the second pic is a ck550

#

Yep

latent mural
#

Kk

tight flare
#

(Zero software issues btw)

latent mural
#

Still looking what switches I should get for my gmmk

wheat plume
#

Currently I have a Roccat Suora, the blue backlight one....could not afford the RGB one

latent mural
#

Idk about issues with the ck550, the software of my masterkeys m was sub par at best

#

Used it without software just fine though

tight flare
#

My current favs are in my nickname, but there are more good ones

latent mural
#

Yea, am european

#

Don't wanna pay import fees for zealios

tight flare
#

Idk the software was flawless

latent mural
#

I remember the masterkeys m software being really weird with profiles

#

But without it the rgb version can't change animation speed

#

While the white one can

#

Was weird af

tight flare
#

I don’t really use animations

#

Just mobo and ram in breathe mode

latent mural
#

Thinking about kailh box

tight flare
#

Flare switches are good

latent mural
#

Either white or jade rn

#

Flaretec can't be used on custom boards

tight flare
#

I know

#

Just saying

latent mural
#

Yee

#

Wanna try clicky though

tight flare
#

Box jades are the best clicky

#

Go for them

latent mural
#

Hated rattlines of mx blue

#

Thats why i wanna try kailh box white/jade

tight flare
#

I’ll make a board with them

latent mural
#

Reminds me

tight flare
#

Whites and pale blues are underwhelming

latent mural
#

I don't have another keycap set currently

#

So jades/navy?

tight flare
#

And I don’t have a board yet for the jades

latent mural
#

Yea

#

Thats why i get the gmmk

#

Want ISO and hot swappable

#

And 100% size

tight flare
#

Guess what it is

latent mural
#

Yee

#

Waited for the ISO version

#

Made a big glorious purchase

tight flare
#

i'm fond of tkl

#

right placed numpad takes mouse space

latent mural
#

I actually use the numpad a lot

fair gull
#

same

latent mural
#

And I have a broad build so I still have a pretty comfortable position

tight flare
#

u can always get a separate one and put at the left

fair gull
#

why tho

latent mural
#

Nah

pale sigil
#

Is that a gmmk I see

tight flare
#

yes it is.

pale sigil
#

If they offered 75% I'd be getting one instantly

tight flare
#

they could one day or the next

#

i'm waiting for kira 75

latent mural
#

They only have 6 versions rn dogelul

pale sigil
#

I failed miserably building my kbd75

#

So I probably won't revisit that

#

And just buy

fair gull
#

i always build 150% keyboards

tight flare
#

ha ha ha

latent mural
#

I'd love more keyboards with the masterkeys m layout

#

Will likely never get any

tight flare
#

which is?

latent mural
#

At least no new ones

#

Uhh

#

They removed everything between numblock and the normal keys

#

So no nav cluster etc

tight flare
#

ok so that is a 70% with numpad

latent mural
#

The second layer on the numblock is adjusted to that

#

Nah, more like a 60% with numpad

tight flare
#

functions still there right?

latent mural
#

Yep

tight flare
#

so 70%

#

anyway rare layout

latent mural
#

Oh, ye

#

Yep, but really nice

pale sigil
#

65% 🤔

latent mural
#

0 key is also split in two

#

Love that layout

#

Have the masterkeys m twice because of that

fair gull
#

i mean count the keys

tight flare
#

post a picture

fair gull
#

and just calculate it

#

easy

latent mural
#

Uhh

#

Not at home rn

#

Can do it later

tight flare
#

anyway separate numpad solves most problems IMO

latent mural
fair gull
#

solves no problem imo since i use it anyway so i can just use a normal 100%

#

REPOST

latent mural
#

Ree

#

Didn't see it

#

Am on mobile

tight flare
#

u dont find many full customs

latent mural
#

Can't remove it on mobile

fair gull
#

which is why i build my old keebs

#

but the wooting is smth i cant build cause opto switches

latent mural
#

Tbh

#

I may resolder one of mine with other switches I like more

fair gull
#

why resolder

#

use sockets

#

idk why u bother with soldering in switches tbh

latent mural
#

You can't put sockets on any pcb though

fair gull
#

make your own

latent mural
#

Ehhh

fair gull
#

plus theres 1 pin sockets

latent mural
#

Too much work

fair gull
#

u can put those on any pcb

latent mural
#

Especially with a different second layer

#

Would uave to do a lot of crap with ahk

vast helmBOT
#

Alright, @tight flare has been warned for 'Bad word usage'.

fair gull
#

ud use your own firmware

vast helmBOT
#

Alright, @latent mural has been warned for 'Bad word usage'.

fair gull
#

the fuck would u need ahk for

tight flare
#

uh? what bad word?

fair gull
#

LOL

vast helmBOT
#

Alright, @latent mural has been warned for 'Bad word usage'.

fair gull
#

i see the bot works flawless

latent mural

latent mural
#

Genau

fair gull

latent mural
#

Yee

ashen spindle
#

bester film, schon alles gesehen

latent mural
#

Don't wanna bother with custom firmware

fair gull
#

why tho

latent mural
#

Way too much work

tight flare
#

bot broken lol

fair gull
#

not really

tight flare
#

i aint said any swear word

fair gull
#

qmk is pretty easy

latent mural
#

Yea

#

Would still uave to do it

#

After designing everything on the board

solar hinge
#

i have this keycap set

#

GMK Hydro

#

never used and still in the box

latent mural
#

Lol

tight flare
#

nice legends

#

as always with gmk

solar hinge
#

apparently worth quite some money

#

i've been too lazy to put them up for sale

#

i should do that

fair gull
#

send me

#

for the gpu ablobtonguewink

solar hinge
#

last time i checked how much it was worth, it was close to 200 euros 😄

fair gull
#

shush

#

we dont need to talk money

tight flare
#

somebody asked what gpu was mine, it's just a 2070 which runs fanless most of the time 😉

latent mural
#

Please put it in a lower slot btw

fair gull
#

fuckin hell

#

fan less

#

jesus

latent mural
#

Otherwise it chokes on top

fair gull
#

u lunatic

latent mural
#

Why not?

tight flare
#

there is 8cm clearance

latent mural
#

Yea

#

And no vents

#

Or air intake

pale sigil
#

Naughty

fair gull
tight flare
#

and one vent at the botom top, which is for an exaust fan

pale sigil
#

HHaha

latent mural
#

Second layer is stupid on the numpad

pale sigil
#

Your endgame keyboard

latent mural
#

And not ISO

pale sigil
#

Don't ever say endgame here 👀

fair gull
#

masterkeys m also is not iso

latent mural
#

Sure

tight flare
#

the 1800 layout is avaliable in iso too but very rare

#

Leopold GM980

latent mural
#

Have two ISO masterkeys m boards

fair gull
#

wot

#

might work on a custom pcb and qmk layout in the future

tight flare
fair gull
#

so anyone can build a masterkeys m

tight flare
#

this one

latent mural
#

The second layer on the numpad is garbage though

tight flare
#

agree, i never used it

latent mural
#

Lol

fair gull
#

why

#

so fuckin slow

wheat plume
#

shudders

plush summit
#

pfffffffff

wheat plume
#

I think I can nuke window from my laptop now

#

unless we need to do more shit with studio

plush summit
#

rip

wheat plume
#

add printer ink catridges to that list too

latent mural
#

Which have expensive cartrides

wheat plume
#

they never come with ink

ashen spindle
#

if you dont print much the hp instant ink is a good solution, doesnt cost anything if you print 10 pages a month only

wheat plume
#

o?

ashen spindle
#

you get send new ink if you run out of it, dont even need to leave the house

wheat plume
#

lemme guess "only in USA"

ashen spindle
#

nope

latent mural
#

Available in germany at least

#

15 pages free per month

ashen spindle
#

oh yeah 15, mixed that up

wheat plume
#

that a lot of trips to the local post office

latent mural
#

Well you need a printer

wheat plume
#

every delivery serice refuses to drive down the road to our house

latent mural
#

Idk

ashen spindle
#

depends which one you buy

#

goes from like 60 to 300

latent mural
#

Depends on which printers support that

#

And 15 pages a month is very little

#

Still not that expensive in total

#

At home?

#

Never

#

Don't even own one

#

Can't bother to buy one

#

We have high volume printers at work

#

American?

#

So american

#

Just not usa

#

Coupons are very much an NA thing

#

There just aren't a lot of coupons here

#

No

#

Normal here

#

The most usual kind of coupon is from mcd

#

?

#

No

#

It's almost alawys some kind of menu

#

Never seen any for groceries or stuff like that

#

Maybe from a bigger bakery chain, but very rarely

#

No

#

Looks like a döner loyalty card

ashen spindle
#

vvLULZ accurate

latent mural
#

It's a döner loyalty card, lol

#

Uhh

#

Idk

#

1€?

#

Idk

#

Don't think that stuff is popular here

#

Anyways, gotta clean up

wheat plume
timid chasm
#

the version of chrome that breaks your tv and burns your house down?

wheat plume
#

yeh..the unstable af version

#

for sure

fair gull
pale sigil
#

lol I mean

#

All chrome versions are pretty unstable

pale sigil
#

My got Sony are becoming apple

chrome estuary
#

why now

pale sigil
#

They are "re inventing" SSDs

chrome estuary
#

oh god i fear i know what this is because i think i heard someone at work talking about it

ashen spindle
#

is this about the PS5 news?

pale sigil
#

They ate bragging about how fast games load now etc

#

Considering the OS ran off literally USB flash on the PS4 there's nothing to brag about

#

Lmao

#

Like it's hilarious

#

They said a game loaded in 0.8 seconds

ashen spindle
#

eh, it will be more than just a ssd

latent mural
#

" a game"

#

not that all ssds currently push what their interface can do

fair gull
#

my gameboy loads faster

pale sigil
#

Yup

fair gull
#

wanna bet

ashen spindle
#

it was a loadingscreen comparison for the spiderman game, 15sec on the ps4

pale sigil
#

And a PS4 uses USB to sata

#

lol

latent mural
#

wow

pale sigil
#

So I hope they defiantly didn't choose that route

latent mural
#

"we push the limits of sata"

#

"like everybody else does"

pale sigil
#

It's why having an SSD makes nearly 0 difference

latent mural
#

well

#

an internal one may make a difference

#

don't know about load times on consoles

pale sigil

It's faster to run games off an external drive

#

Than internal drive

latent mural
#

can't you swap the internal drive?

pale sigil
#

Doesn't matter

latent mural
#

why tf are console so limited

pale sigil
#

It's still USB to sata

latent mural
#

even my damn ps2 can get an internal drive added

#

or a 360

pale sigil
#

Switching internal gives you around 2s

#

But what's bizarre

#

Is the PS4 is supposed to have ryzen 3 and navi gpu blobhyperthinkfast

ashen spindle
#

5*

#

and that's kinda been known forever

fair gull
#

no ps4 is the right one

#

they just dont count up anymore

ashen spindle
#

Navi as an architecture was made with the goal to have a SoC that provides what sony/microsoft want for their next gen consoles

pale sigil
#

I mean ps5

#

Xbox is brining a cloud console our so that'll be interesting

fair gull
#

why

ashen spindle
#

tech r34 equivalent. if it has pins, you can connect it rooH

plush summit
fallow bison
#

Poor drive

fair gull
#

its basically just a dim pcb to hold a m.2 drive

#

not even nvme

#

u still need sata data and power

fallow bison
#

I want the to place an m.2 to sata in it and connect a hdd to it

#

12tb 100mb/s ramblobhyperthinkfast

#

More like 5mb/sec

fair gull
#

except that thats not how ram works sadly

fallow bison
#

Shhh

#

Dont let dreams be memes

fair gull
#

dont let memes be dreams

#

imma make a dimm to wooting adapter

fallow bison
#

That

#

U do dat

#

I'll use usb

fair gull
#

but it will be faster on a dimm slot

fallow bison
#

Agreed letsgo

fair gull
#

can do even faster than 1ms times

fallow bison
#

So you connect the blue wire to the second pin and the the red and black wire to your mains

#

I hope you have 230 because thats the minimum requirement

fair gull
#

240

fallow bison
#

I knew that

#

Was testing you

fair gull
#

LOL

fallow bison
#

I did that to turbocharge my hdd

fair gull
#

its 230 dw

fallow bison
#

Yeah another test

#

I knew ofc

fair gull
#

its has a +-10% tolerance tho

#

we can do 400v with three phase

fallow bison
#

That's even better

fair gull
#

not really

fallow bison
#

Gl with that bridge rectifier though

fair gull
#

FULL BRIDGE RECTIFIER

fallow bison
#

That gonna be a fridge size

#

I see

#

ElectroBOOM

fair gull
#

who dat

fallow bison
#

Good

#

Lemauw

#

Sneak 100

fair gull
#

Speech -10

#

see

#

i cant talk

#

randomly putting in ß's all the time

fallow bison
#

-1beta is nuclear reactions dude

#

Get it goddamn right

fair gull
#

its not a beta tho

fallow bison
#

Shhh

#

Wait beta is 0 -1

fair gull
#

β

#

thgat beta

#

β != ß

fallow bison
#

Yeah how the f do I type that on mobile

#

O

#

Shh

#

I = blind

ashen spindle
fair gull
#

idk why but i love this james randi

sick creek
#

i just want to say

#

FUCK quora

#

that site can go fuck itself with its "sign up to read content"

sick creek
#

no, and uh, no

#

i'd rather simply not use the site

#

#2 mainly because i only use chrome

#

i just get annoyed every time i stumble upon a quora question, click on any link on their site and then get the "register because we want to track you" modal

zenith sonnet
#

PS5 will be AMD again for CPU and Graphics
Probably a specialised Zen 2 APU with Navi graphics
And if they're smart, some HBM

latent mural
#

Depends on navi

#

But yes

#

They wouldn't announce 8k 60fps if they were smart though

zenith sonnet
#

Could also be Vega graphics

#

Probably just for Video?

latent mural
#

The chip is navi though

zenith sonnet
#

Hmm, then not

latent mural
#

I'd guess for media playback

zenith sonnet
#

Yeah
Maybe it can upscale an image as well

#

Anyone who can afford an 8k TV can afford something better than a P5, though

#

And gaming won't be fun on one, at all

#

The latency must be through the roof

fair gull
#

8k upscale lol

#

hf with that duplicate pixels

zenith sonnet
#

Maybe it can finally render 1080p at fluid 60Hz

fair gull
#

lol

#

only maybe

zenith sonnet
#

At mid/high, at least

fair gull
#

or we go back to 720p 60fps

#

i think i made the right decision to not buy consoles anymore

zenith sonnet
#

Still ruins a lot of high potential PC games, though :(

fair gull
#

tru

#

altho i will have to buy a console for bl3

latent mural
#

i'd guess that it would be abel to do at least 1440p at 60 fps

#

if not why even bother with a hardware upgrade

#

and apparently sony bans all sexual content

#

which basically ruins japanese game devs

fair gull
#

wot

#

no veach volleyball for doa?

latent mural
#

idk

#

rip those devs

#

the switch is basically their only option

fair gull
#

they will remove that ban whe gta6 comes round

#

or xbox gets more sales

latent mural
#

ehh

#

gta doesn't really have sexual content

#

maybe some nudity

#

but that's it

fair gull
#

they get that rating tho

latent mural
#

but until gta 6 comes out the japanese game devs are either rip or completely changed to switch games

fair gull
#

welp will be switch prob

#

cause nintendo apparently got cool

latent mural
#

ye

reef patrol
#

I'm just amazed they finally switch to native SSDs

#

Even the brand new Xbox disc drive less model uses a 2.5" HDD.

karmic grail
#

@latent mural do you know of any mouses similar to the swiftpoint GT?

#

#swiftfoot

latent mural
#

why would you want that?

#

I really can't see the beneift over a vertical mouse

#

other than it being somewhat more portable

#

yea

#

but this is about the gee tee version

karmic grail
#

I need something smoll for uni

latent mural
#

tbh

#

just get any wireless mouse

#

you carry a bag anyways

karmic grail
#

hmmm

latent mural
#

I currently use a GPW for uni

#

used a M510 before

#

tbh

#

if you can get a used g305

#

get that

#

isn't much more than a shitty wireless mouse

#

but is actually pretty good

#

and moddability is insane

karmic grail
#

Honestly GPW sounds so tempting

latent mural
#

it's expensive af

karmic grail
#

yea

#

😭

latent mural
#

don't know about durability, has a pretty thin shell

latent mural
#

lol

#

tbh at that point

#

get the GPW

#

look at g305/g304 pricing though

#

especially used they are usually pretty affordable

pale sigil
#

G305 is so teeny

latent mural
#

still twice the size of the swift-footed gee tee

karmic grail
#

Swift footed gt is just so smoll

#

You can use it on the wrist area on the laptop

latent mural
#

what's the benefit tbh

pale sigil
#

I had one

#

Loved it

#

But it was just a little to small

karmic grail
#

Uni = lack of table space

latent mural
#

unless the desk in your uni are complete shit it's irrelevant

#

rly?

#

I don't have a small laptop

#

and more than enough space

#

at 800 dpi

karmic grail
#

I have a big laptop (no regrets tho)

pale sigil
#

800dpi

#

Pft

latent mural
#

I have a 17" Dell

#

so more tending toward big than small

karmic grail
#

Big Boi dell

latent mural
#

nevermind

#

am retarded

#

it's 15"

#

but even with a 17"

#

I'd have more than enough space

#

the bigger problem would be the desk surface imo

#

even though we have clean desks

#

as soon as there is any dirt it starts grinding

karmic grail
#

Our desks aren't very big

#

Same

latent mural
#

tbh

#

my desk in uni might be bigger than yours

karmic grail
#

There's like goddamn micro particles on the damn table

latent mural
#

looks like somewhere between 90-100cm wide

karmic grail
#

Imagine my Lenovo e580

#

And then add like 2-2.5cm to each side

latent mural
#

oof

karmic grail
#

That's my table

latent mural
#

that is small

#

wait

#

the e580

#

has an rx550?

karmic grail
#

You can opt for one

latent mural
#

ohhhhh

#

it's the grill book

karmic grail
#

I didn't get it tho, I just got the very basic one (CPU no SSD)

latent mural
#

with disabled graphics

#

with a current bios the 550 is completely deactivated

#

since lenovo needed to downclock it so it doesn't burn your lap

#

and after that it was slower than the intel igpu

#

so they completely deactivated it

karmic grail
#

oh boi

#

I have the i5 tho so a bit less heat

#

i5-8250

latent mural
#

that was before the bios updates

karmic grail
#

🔥

#

I once had burnout paradise running and I was playing in bed

#

Didn't realise my blanket covered the vent and it got SO hot

pale sigil
#

Awww

#

Das hot

#

Das hot

karmic grail
#

@pale sigil how did you find the swiftpoint GT, any quality issues/usability?

pale sigil
#

I didn't have one

karmic grail
#

oh you had the g305

#

Misread what you said earlier

pale sigil
fair gull
#

thats why u dont have weak passwords

pale sigil
#

Dude i use passwords like this

fair gull
#

and why u use RSA as auth and not passwords

pale sigil
#

2Ogb7m3Gb48LQOYBPsq94YBEQ7ei1MSNWCR2pohRsY6SK5Zi2Cr2f

#

usually more symbols tho

fair gull
#

well somehow access to your droplet was leaked

#

inb4 keylogger

chrome estuary
#

"You will still be billed for your Droplet usage, even in a network disconnected state."

fair gull
#

ya

#

since the droplet still runs

#

just not on a network

pale sigil
#

thank god you dont fucking get rekt for your bandwith

fair gull
#

maybe find out what processes used network etc

#

oof

pale sigil
#

literally had this server for less than 24 hours

fair gull
#

somehow some access leaked

pale sigil
#

luckily no data

#

but means i have to re do everything -_-

fair gull
#

so ya prob someone who can either watch your pc inputs, inbox or some vuln on the droplet

pale sigil
#

@proud nacelle this is your fault

#

hmmm

#

now that i think of it i don't think i made changes before exiting, usually i use an private key btw

#

You pushed me to finish it

fair gull
#

so much resources

#

nothing to use it for

#

what was even running on that droplet

pale sigil
#

Literally just MySQL, Apache 2, HTOP, UNZIP and PHP

fair gull
#

oh noe apache

#

why are you doing this to yourself

#

and i hope no phpmyadmin

pale sigil
#

No phpmyadmin

#

Im not a huge fan of using private keys tbh

fair gull
#

id suggest checking the logs

#

only use RSA keys

#

no password auth

pale sigil
#

i have been using linux servers for years now and never had this >:

fair gull
#

i always leave on password auth

#

and only have RSA setup

#

and set fail2ban to 1 false password

#

my banlist is huge

pale sigil
#

deleting the server

fair gull
#

for ssh you mean

#

or in general

pale sigil
#

what do you do if you lost said key 🤔

fair gull
#

theres 41k lines

#

for just 3 days

#

guess im popular

#

@pale sigil change it locally u dont enable password auth for ssh

#

in the case of KVM vps youd use the console they provide on their site

pale sigil
#

never lost one but i do worry xD

fair gull
#

i can password auth but only in the controlpanel remote screen thing

#

otherwise password auth is prompted but not verified

#

can only use RSA with ssh

#

i have root enabled

#

cause why not

pale sigil
#

never had issues with root enabled

fair gull
#

u dont enable root on ssh usually

#

well seemingly he has

#

cause he apparently ddos'd someone

pale sigil
#

xD

#

445mb/s

#

i hope it went to a worthy cause

#

like against a shitty busness

fair gull
#

id guess vuln on the vps

#

some app not being updated or some shit

#

or callum ran some wonky scripts as root

pale sigil
#

luckily none of my traffic was used

fair gull
#

.\install_totally_not_a_virus.sh

#

just keep it of the network to avoid such troubles

pale sigil
#

Is it bad my instagram username is name.sh

fair gull
#

zip up the logs

pale sigil
#

lol

fair gull
#

i wanna read them

pale sigil
#

really couldn't be assed downloading the image

#

and loading it up in vm

#

suck me nob

fair gull
#

give me access to the droplet

#

ill download the image

pale sigil
#

I will fuck up if i want to

#

Droplet has already gone

fair gull
#

holy

#

winscp has darktheme now

#

if windows is set to darktheme

#

i like this

pale sigil
#

Mate

#

like

#

go away

#

💔

fair gull
#

godlike

#

literally cant burn out my eyes anymore

#

sadly not invert

#

na all my apps i use are dark now

#

well

#

technically putty isnt

#

still fucking light themed

#

putty is easier

#

and still my fav

pale sigil
#

MEHHH

#

have to make fucking vhost shit again

#

also @fair gull y u hate apache

fair gull
#

because nginx is better

#

i never like the way u make vhosts in a2

#

just yikes

#

never remembered it

pale sigil
#

why its not rocket science

fair gull
#

easy peasy

#

now do that in apache2

pale sigil
#

dude

#

thats basically the same

fair gull
#

no

#

no its not

pale sigil
#
<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "/www/example2"
    ServerName www.example.org

    # Other directives here
</VirtualHost>
#

very bare bones example

fair gull
#

so how do i upstream my node apps on the 2 ports to subdomains

#

prob some proxy pass bs

pale sigil
#

idk cos i have never needed to do it but it wont be hard

#

it would be pretty damn easy

#

lmao

fair gull
#

just easier imo

pale sigil
#

shitty argument, if anything they are both just the same

#

fite me

fair gull
#

idk man nginx just works way better for me in general

pale sigil
#

can you use a key for mysql/

#

i fucking hate using rando gen passwords in case i cant access my damn lastpass

timid chasm
#

so just remember it, duh

#

or yes you could go the correct horse battery staple route

fair gull
#

no batteryhorsestable

pale sigil
#

you try remember 53 characters

fair gull
#

noooooo

timid chasm
#

not hard to be better than password123456

fair gull
#

its bad cause its publicly known

#

i wouldnt use correcthorsebatterystaple tbh

#

or any variation of it

timid chasm
#

well yeah you don't use that lol

crimson wigeon
#

Well obviously you would use different words

fair gull
#

just use leetspeak

#

done

#

ur passwords are already safer

#

i write em down on paper

timid chasm
#

so then they try your possibly common password as leetspeak and its gone

fair gull
#

ill move to stone tablets soon

#

dw

timid chasm
#

tattoos on private parts

fair gull
#

and i mean u make a password

#

urself

#

sprinkle in leetspeak

#

sprinkle in special chars

#

done

timid chasm
#

which puts us back at point A lol

fair gull
#

if you go from password to p422w0rd

#

you are already a tiny bit safer

#

obviously an example

#

then sprinkle in special chars

#

p422\/\/0rc|

#

done

#

and thx dicksword

#

an option if you have a custom ssh server running would also be to use zalgo

#

i dont recommend that tho

#

p̣̱̜a̼͚̫ś̱s̜͎̩w̸̳̳o̭̥͡r̻̣ͅd͏̭̭

#

pmuch uncrackable

#

pͯͦ̚a̽̋͆s͊͌̑s̉͗͂҉̼͕͞w͋̃ͪo͌́̏r̽̂ͬd̒̏̇

#

which is why i said custom ssh

#

and custom shell

#

side note: installing go qt takes ages

RSA is an algorithm (actually, two algorithms: one for asymmetric encryption, and one for digital signatures -- with several variants). PGP is originally a piece of software, now a standard protocol, usually known as OpenPGP. OpenPGP defines formats for data elements which support secure messaging, with encryption and signatures, and various related operations such as key distribution. As a protocol, OpenPGP relies on a wide range of cryptographic algorithms, which it assembles together (which is not as easy as it seems, if you want the result to be secure). Among the algorithms that OpenPGP can use is RSA.

So, to keep with the car analogy, your question is like: "What is the difference between a combustion engine and a Honda Accord ? Why would one choose one over the other ?" The question makes no sense per se: the Accord comes with a combustion engine under its lid. It also comes with a bunch of other useful features, such as wheels; you cannot do much with a combustion engine alone.

Still in that analogy, you can imagine cars without a combustion engine, e.g. electric cars. Translated into the OpenPGP world, the question becomes: can OpenPGP perform its work without using RSA ? And the answer is yes: there are other asymmetric encryption and digital signature algorithms that OpenPGP can use, which will provide the same functionality than what OpenPGP uses RSA for. Historically, when OpenPGP was first defined, there were still a few unsolved questions about the RSA patent, so implementations were encouraged to use El Gamal and DSA (for asymmetric encryption and digital signatures, respectively), instead of RSA. (The RSA patent expired in 2000)

#

RSA has just a really large keysize iirc

#

which is why its considered pretty secure

#

most are either 1024 or 2048bits long

#

plus longer does not mean slower with RSA

#

and considering AES has a max of 512 rn iirc

#

you can see why RSA is prefered

#

dunno

#

but usually ud use RSA to encrypt AES key and then encrypt stuff with that AES key

#

mostly due to limitations in what RSA can encrypt

#

like 120bytes or so

#

for a 1024bit key

#

who said we are friends
