oh its OLD monitors

be careful with screen burn

[spare quartz]

they’re not that old

[flint belfry]

they look old

old enough to have screen burn in

[spare quartz]

can also go over 60 hz surprisingly

[flint belfry]

ok wtf

whats the model number

[spare quartz]

[flint belfry]

either thats a sleeper monitor in a old ass looking shell or its just a special old monitor

[spare quartz]

Pretty good right

Also came with power cords, just no video

[flint belfry]

yeah
too bad MY AREA HAS JACK SHIT

[flint belfry]

thats even better

[spare quartz]

soon I’ll get 30 of them in Dallas…

But that’s super far away

So I’ll probably need to use like 1.2 tanks of gas

[spare quartz]

It’ll come by…!!

Eventually

Hopefully.

sharing files between computers is hard

gonna make fuse now

here we gooooooooooo

[timid quartz]

just uhhhhhh sftp

scp

http microserver

uhhhhh

google drive

[spare quartz]

i could do that but that involves downloading which is boring

so im just gonna use projfs and make the network bsl thing now

shouldnt be too difficult..

[timid quartz]

sftp/scp then

[spare quartz]

no

both require downloading too

[timid quartz]

waah waah...

[spare quartz]

also wow

windows downloaded the intel graphics drivers

and god the color grading is excellent

のれあ

damn

FUSE gives me a ton of ideas

[spare quartz]

neat

[timid quartz]

go doesn't have real enums

[timid quartz]

language in shambles

[spare quartz]

sick it got marked

[spare quartz]

wdym

[timid quartz]

go doesn't have an enum keyword or anything

the way you do enums is

type MyEnum int
const (
  Enum1 MyEnum = iota
  Enum2
  Enum3
)

[spare quartz]

scary

ALSO scary

win32 is going to get jvm functions as callbacks 🙏

[timid quartz]

lang ruined

[timid quartz]

🤢

at least Go isn’t a JVM lang

[spare quartz]

(its much worse as a result)

[timid quartz]

better*

[spare quartz]

your ffi probably also sucks

[timid quartz]

Rust FFI doesn’t
Idk about Go
JVM FFI is the worst of them all

[spare quartz]

(says person whos never used it)

peak design

[timid quartz]

JVM is just another layer of bloatstraction on top of an already functioning system

[spare quartz]

yeah but we have completely platform agnostic ffi

among other things like vectorization

[timid quartz]

Actually it only supports one platform

The JVM

[spare quartz]

❌

the JVM can compile straight to machine code automatically

[timid quartz]

Yeah Go FFI looks crappy

[spare quartz]

what do it look like

[timid quartz]

package main

import (
    "os"
    "unsafe"
)

/*
#cgo LDFLAGS: -lavformat -lavutil -lavcodec
#include "test.h"
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
*/
import "C"

//export go_read
func go_read(opaque unsafe.Pointer, buf unsafe.Pointer, p1 C.int) C.int {
    foo := (*Test)(opaque)
    return (C.int)(foo.read(buf, int(p1)))
}

//export go_write
func go_write(opaque unsafe.Pointer, buf unsafe.Pointer, p1 C.int) C.int {
    foo := (*Test)(opaque)
    return (C.int)(foo.write(buf, int(p1)))
}

var (
    file       *os.File
    outputFile *os.File
)

type Test struct {
}

func (s *Test) read(buf unsafe.Pointer, size int) int {
    tmp := make([]byte, size)
    n, _ := file.Read(tmp)
    C.memcpy(buf, (unsafe.Pointer)(&tmp[0]), (C.ulong)(n))
    return n
}

func (s *Test) write(buf unsafe.Pointer, size int) int {
    outputFile.Write(C.GoBytes(buf, (C.int)(size)))
    return size
}

func main() {
    data := &Test{}
    for i := 0; i < 400; i++ {
        if f, err := os.Open("../test.flv"); err != nil {
            panic(err)
        } else {
            file = f
        }

        outputFile, _ = os.Create("test.ts")
        C.go_transmuxer(unsafe.Pointer(&data))
        outputFile.Close()
        file.Close()
    }
}

[spare quartz]

oh

ew

[timid quartz]

Rust is decent because all you need is libc and extern "C"

[spare quartz]

the jvm doesnt need anything but a linker and an arena

[timid quartz]

type Callback = unsafe extern "C" fn(*mut c_void, *mut c_void, c_int) -> c_int;

extern "C" fn rust_transmuxer(red: Callback, write: Callback) -> libc::c_int;

type Callback is a user-created type and isn’t required

but also I don’t really care about FFI since I’ve never used it

[spare quartz]

val nativeWhatever = prjFSLookup.getDowncall(
    linker, "???_transmuxer",
    ValueLayout.ADDRESS, ValueLayout.ADDRESS, ValueLayout.JAVA_INT
)

ignore prjfslookup i didnt want to create a mock of that too

[timid quartz]

that looks worse than Rust but better than Go

[spare quartz]

better than both*

[timid quartz]

Rust’s is best

[spare quartz]

❌

[timid quartz]

imagine needing a linker during runtime

[spare quartz]

our linker is superior.

[timid quartz]

inferior*

[spare quartz]

also wow it supports more than i thought

who would need a linker for the ibm system/390

[timid quartz]

Rust supports so many more targets

https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustc/platform-support.html

[spare quartz]

yeah but it's not agnostic and your os targetting sucks ass

[timid quartz]

this is just JVM copium that you don't support as many targets

[spare quartz]

❌

[timid quartz]

proof that the jvm is pure cope

my honest reaction

This class is only useful in conjunction with the Security Manager, which is deprecated and subject to removal in a future release. Consequently, this class is also deprecated and subject to removal. There is no replacement for the Security Manager or this class.

[timid quartz]

ughhhh download faster....

[spare quartz]

i need to make a wifi 7 router ...

just need to rig one of these optiplexes into one

[timid quartz]

you need to make a JVM destroyer...

[timid quartz]

hmmm

what OS to put on my Japanese Thinkpad...

it has FreeBSD on it but idk..seems too eccentric...

[spare quartz]

actually what i need to is buy a set of 4 DP-to-VGA adapters

this works ...

i was gonna ask who would ever need a 35ft cable for video

but i have a 50 ft spool of hdmi in my closet 😭

[spare quartz]

YOOOOO

it works!!!!!!

[timid quartz]

Fuse?

[spare quartz]

the analog on windows, yeah

i just need to supply it with data now

[spare quartz]

OH!!!!

thankfully they're not real

[lyric mesa]

fellow programmers!! do you think there are any potential ways to improve this?

is a function that determines an offset for a spritesheet

[spare quartz]

does your spritesheet contain monospaced characters only

[lyric mesa]

ya

[spare quartz]

collect the cell size of each character, arrange the bitmap in ascending order by char code, and translate the index by
x = (index % cells per row) * cell width
y = floor((index / cells per row) * cell height)
u/v = cell size

if it's out of bounds return the index at 0 or something

i dunno if your spritesheet contains anything more than ASCII so if it only contains that then you can just consider anything under the code 0b01111111

[lyric mesa]

oh well the thing is that the sheet only contains certain characters, not everything

which is well, what it currently handles in the image above

[spare quartz]

oh

well if you can't sort the characters in accordance with their value that method looks fine

but if the characters are a bitmap of 0/1 you could look into encoding each character using a buffer ...

[lyric mesa]

hmm i guess it's fine as-is, haha

thank you anyway!

i now have more storage space than you will ever have .

[flint belfry]

Inaccurate.

I win.

[spare quartz]

accurate*

[timid quartz]

inaccurate*

also could it kill windows to not measure everything in kb

and to also be consistent

file explorer measurements are in KB
disk manager partition measurements are in MB
the installer actually changes units like wtf

[spare quartz]

i mean cluster sizes in ntfs are kbs...

and partitions are allocated with mbs...

[spare quartz]

@flint belfry @timid quartz

decided to look to see if theres anything for memory since i need more for our optiplex to be better running

and i found this absolute bomb

too bad its in cali

[lone sky]

purchase

absolute investment

[spare quartz]

i cant.

[lone sky]

why that is

[spare quartz]

read 😭

[lone sky]

OH

[spare quartz]

just got a new phone btw

wanna see

[lone sky]

ISTG

IS IT THE IRS PHONES 😭

[lone sky]

what the fuck

[spare quartz]

they're detachable <3

[lone sky]

no but listen

this is genius

you just call the grid company

indirectly

[spare quartz]

btw

that photo was taken with me holding a folded webcam up to my wall

(my actual phone was dead)

[lone sky]

😭 ??

[flint belfry]

oooo not bad

some ancient servers but i see some newer ones

[spare quartz]

about to use ebay again

[flint belfry]

shame it's in cali though

[spare quartz]

hopefully i dont get my legs broken

[flint belfry]

if you want servers

[spare quartz]

no

[flint belfry]

https://labgopher.com

[spare quartz]

im selling

[flint belfry]

smh

oh

💀

[spare quartz]

fym 💀

[lavish dove]

Intel is W

[flint belfry]

what are you selling

the monitors or

[spare quartz]

1 telephone

i feel like keeping one

so 2 telephones to sell ...

[flint belfry]

my prediction for tommorow: your going to say some shit about writing a VOIP server

[spare quartz]

they're not voip phones 😭😭

i'd need like

[flint belfry]

pots???

[spare quartz]

a phone modem

or whatever it uses

[flint belfry]

is it pots

aka like

old phones

[spare quartz]

it uses modern phone lines if that's what you're talking about

yknow the ones that look like ethernet but shorter

mfg date is 2017

[flint belfry]

pots stands for plain old telephone service

so yes rj11

aka what ur describing

[spare quartz]

unfortunately my house has no connected telephone lines so i can't dial anyone 💔

i wonder if i could dial two phones though ...

[flint belfry]

if you really wanted to

you can look into this kind of thing i have one (but dont use it anymore)

[spare quartz]

what is this

[flint belfry]

its basically a ethernet to pots converter

[spare quartz]

i dont want a coma machine

its gonna kill me

[flint belfry]

that lets you use old phones with voip

[spare quartz]

oh i dont need that

[flint belfry]

so if you dont have a pots line in your house but you have internet you can use that thing

[spare quartz]

no i do have phone jacks in my house

[flint belfry]

oh

[spare quartz]

its just limited to the house

[flint belfry]

i dont get what your saying

is it you dont wanna pay a phone bill or

[spare quartz]

the house... has a phone line circuit

[flint belfry]

uh huh

[spare quartz]

but that phone line circuit is not connected to anywhere outside

[flint belfry]

oh

wtf

[spare quartz]

AKA. phones can only communicate inside

[flint belfry]

was it cut off or just never connected 😭

[spare quartz]

probably the former

[flint belfry]

weeird

[spare quartz]

the company thats stamped on all the phone line plates went out of business a while ago

and now all we have is fiber

[flint belfry]

if you really want to make outside calls though its like 6 dollars per month for the voip thing you called a coma machine

for at&t its like 80

[spare quartz]

its gonna put me in a coma ...

[flint belfry]

which is fucking outrageous

[flint belfry]

you are in one

Wake up.

Wake up.

Wake up.

[spare quartz]

no .

[flint belfry]

Wake u

[spare quartz]

wahat if

https://www.amazon.com/pingping-Ethernet-Adapter-Converter-XCZZYB-019/dp/B09DXXHHJK

ijust buy this

and make a voip application ..

[flint belfry]

i dont think thats how that works 😭

you need like

phone circuitry

[spare quartz]

dont worry im an electrical person

[flint belfry]

you cant just use a ethernet card

[flint belfry]

former*

you got fired.

now your here.

[spare quartz]

telephone reaction

[flint belfry]

holy ancient

[spare quartz]

apparently this phone also has a data port

[flint belfry]

ik its from 2017 but what the 2000's

[flint belfry]

maybe for debugging

[spare quartz]

well that model has been in service since like

at least 2012

[flint belfry]

that makes more sense

[spare quartz]

it's just still made apparently

unfortunately no IRS phone numbers are on it cause they're smart unlike ICE and used a reset code

[flint belfry]

clone the drive and send it to me 🤑

(/j)

[spare quartz]

FINE

[flint belfry]

what

[spare quartz]

ill send you 256 mb of it

let me open dmd e.

[flint belfry]

wha

what am i supposed to do with 256 mb thats just corrupt then 😭

also like

[spare quartz]

oh wait i have to plug it in first... which requirs restarting ...

nvm!!!

[flint belfry]

maybe dont i think thats a cirminal offense 😭

to be sharing government stuff

[spare quartz]

it's not like you could crack it so its whatever

[flint belfry]

i was joking anyways but i am curious

[flint belfry]

since it cant update ill just wait for the next bitlocker bypass

[spare quartz]

actually wanna know the funny part

its not even like an old SSD

[flint belfry]

or wait until we get quantum computers for home use

[spare quartz]

its running a version of windows 11

[flint belfry]

oh

[spare quartz]

cause the bitlocker recovery shows the new loading circle

[flint belfry]

interesting i expected windows 10

[spare quartz]

so whoever did this really messed up :Sob:

[flint belfry]

considering the computers

[flint belfry]

if they hired me i would have done a better job,,,

and oh

idk

[spare quartz]

deport people

[flint belfry]

FUCKING ZEROED OUT THE DRIVE

[spare quartz]

that too

[flint belfry]

BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE THE COMMON SENSE THING TO DO WITH CRITICAL DATA

[flint belfry]

bro...

[spare quartz]

its an ice drive... its what they do...

[flint belfry]

your drive is cold?

bring it inside

[spare quartz]

if you look at ebay older dell servers (aka the ones in that lot image) are not that expensive

[spare quartz]

thats a new one for me

[timid quartz]

LOL PORTABLE SERVER

[spare quartz]

they're putting it up for sale from a hospital

i dont know why hospitals use servers on luggage but

oh well

[flint belfry]

oh my god it would be so fucking funny for anything but a backpack day i get that instead of just takking my server to school

but it looks thin

so idk if it could house a poweredge

mine barely fit in my rack as is

[timid quartz]

You could fit like a R200 series in it

[flint belfry]

yes but not like a r720

[timid quartz]

Those are thin and not very deep

[flint belfry]

theyre 27 inches long

[timid quartz]

Nah but if you get like 2 R240s then you basically have the same thing

[flint belfry]

i was planning to take my backup server since it isnt mission critical except for mondays

[spare quartz]

OH MY GOD BRUH!!!

WHY CANT I LIVE IN OHIO RN!!

[flint belfry]

ok buying the portable rack for that day only is one thing

buying two servers JUST for that day is too much

😭

the r720 has a back handle anyways

and i can carry 80 pounds

[spare quartz]

the thing in the image weighs 110 pounds 💔

[timid quartz]

Then don’t just use it for one day…

[lavish dove]

it doesnt even give you an ip 😭

[spare quartz]

Absolutely! For just $5/month, you can add a Dedicated IP to your server. Simply check it during purchase, open a quick support ticket, and our team will handle the setup. You'll then have unlimited port allocations from 1024 upward; including your game's default port.

[lavish dove]

😭

I dont even get 80??

and the ssh port is also below that...

[spare quartz]

i dont get the point of 99% of cloud providers if they overcharge on stuff like this

[lavish dove]

I use linode

[spare quartz]

you could get a computer that lasts you a decade off old office equipment and better spec it if you save

[lavish dove]

hell arent there raspberyy pi competitors that can can get close to that

[spare quartz]

probably

$48 is a lot of money computer wise...

especially when its monthly

[lavish dove]

oh yeah

I wonder if they sell alot from people who just dont know better providers

thats maddening 😠

or maybe its marketed towards games

[spare quartz]

im not even sure how authoritative this service is with their own datacenters

e.g. i dont know if they even know the computers they're selling or just renting from a datacenter

[lavish dove]

that would be funny lol

and would make sense, its a cheap cash grab (hence the yearly price thing)

[spare quartz]

i know some ISPs that even rent their datacenters

they're usually local though instead of nation-wide

where I used to live you could rent space in the internet junction things that the infrastructure companies maintained for the cables

mmmm wa ter

so good

[timid quartz]

So hy dra ting

[spare quartz]

I love my pc..

[spare quartz]

水災

[timid quartz]

can’t decide which window manager to use…

I’m between NsCDE (the picture above), WindowMaker, cwm, and bspwm

[spare quartz]

I don’t even know what any of those are

[timid quartz]

well here you go

NsCDE (Not so Common Desktop Environment): more than a WM, heavy theme on top of FVWM to emulate the Common Desktop Environment that shipped commonly with Unixes back in the day
WindowMaker: a window manager designed for the GNUstep desktop tools, emulates another older interface from NeXTSTEP
cwm (calm window manager): minimalistic stacking window manager that ships by default with OpenBSD, available elsewhere too
bspwm (binary space partition window manager): simple tiling window manager that represents windows as leaves of a full binary tree

[spare quartz]

Idk the last one I guess…

[timid quartz]

bspwm is my fallback tbh

I’ve used it before, think it’s pretty nice

There’s about as many tiling window managers as Linux distros

[spare quartz]

So lame…

[timid quartz]

But bspwm is pretty simple and I like the configuration style more than others

it’s also nice because, like other tiling WMs, everything is keyboard-centric and you don’t need a mouse to manage windows at all

[spare quartz]

It’s the same with windows*

But that’s just cause you can use your keyboard as a mouse

(If it has a keypad)

[timid quartz]

windows 11 can kinda be like a tiling window manager since it added the window snapping things

Win + number to launch apps, some keybind to make them snap to certain areas

some keybind to switch virtual desktops

It’s just super heavy compared to something like bspwm

[spare quartz]

Win + number?? That’s a thing??

I just rely on Win R and Alt Tab

[timid quartz]

yeah iirc it launches based on order from left to right on your taskbar

yes I guessed correctly

[spare quartz]

Whoa codev did something cool

[timid quartz]

win + arrow key does stuff, win + z opens the snap menu
