programming

[leaden crest]

it could even be a psychological horror

[fiery canopy]

Could even be a animated show?

[silent cloak]

@mighty thorn can star

Maybe as the villian

[jagged turtle]

I can see the argument in a way but also stolen CCs exist 💀

[mighty thorn]

It can star

[leaden crest]

and take humans out of the loop, just make an ai or two handle both creativity and logistics

[fiery canopy]

ye

[silent cloak]

Archaic tech

Same with patents

Both suck ass by modern standards because we know technology and security better now

But no one can be fucked to pay for an upgrade

[fiery canopy]

yep

its fucked up

[silent cloak]

A debit card is less secure than a PayPal account

[fiery canopy]

and a papal accouint is still increadibly insecure

[silent cloak]

Honestly it depends

[fast pagoda]

I shudder to know what is happening with even the overseen ones

[fast pagoda]

🥀

[silent cloak]

The issue with credit cards beyond the fact u can RFID grab them and clone them is the fact that numbers arent rolling

[fiery canopy]

ye

It would be so easy to over haul

[fast pagoda]

Slightly better than checks at least

[silent cloak]

Reminder that people still fax

[fiery canopy]

the issue is also, is that normies would never agree to it either. because they don't seem to understand that stuff changing sometimes is good

[fast pagoda]

I will hand you Mr random stranger this slip with my bank account number, routing number, signature, name, address

[silent cloak]

Which is probably one of the least secure things in our daily lives

[rigid snow]

how is rfid grabbing them gonna get you a usable stolen cc

[silent cloak]

Grabs the chip?

[fiery canopy]

the chip is rolling tbf

[silent cloak]

Have u not known about this trick?

[fast pagoda]

U can do that with car keys too

[fiery canopy]

but you can still skim the numbers

[kind nimbus]

i just found a google form on the openai page where you can apparently request access to an even better model for cybersecurity work

[silent cloak]

True which is why I hate ATMs

I always check for skimmers

[rigid snow]

huh? tf do you mean grabs it

[fast pagoda]

My cybersecxurit work

Ope

[silent cloak]

There is a reason rfid proof wallets exist

[fast pagoda]

Agi is here

[silent cloak]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RFID_skimming

[rigid snow]

yeah because txs below a certain point don’t require a pin if you pay contactless

[silent cloak]

Gives u some direction

[fast pagoda]

Always grab the reader and jiggle it

[fiery canopy]

ye

[rigid snow]

that does not apply to bank cards

[silent cloak]

People before could brush by u and grab ur card

[rigid snow]

they can’t grab it

[kind nimbus]

powered by Valetudo?

[fiery canopy]

Debit /credit cards do operate on a system

[fast pagoda]

I pay via ious for this reason (steal)

[silent cloak]

It does though

Essentially runs a payment

It doesn't need to save it

Just charge it

[rigid snow]

grab implies saving

[fast pagoda]

Dreame to be epic

[fiery canopy]

its usually nfc on modern cards lesser so rfid now. Also Conntactless uses a 1 time code

per transactiojn

so the only way a scimmer works is through chip and pin

[silent cloak]

They have improved it

But i still use a special wallet

[rigid snow]

it never worked that way my guy

[silent cloak]

I dont trust grandpa to come up with a solution

[kind nimbus]

I have a Dreame L10S Ultra running Valetudo, connected to Home Assistant

[silent cloak]

Must of missed the news years ago

[fiery canopy]

tbf if u really wanted to u can just download a payment app on your phone put it clkose enough to someones pocket and take money that way

[rigid snow]

30 years ago might as well not exist

[silent cloak]

It was a type of card not present fraud

[fiery canopy]

but like

not really the way you would do it

Either way cards could just be made more secure

that is the truth

[fast pagoda]

Oh no I have it running whatever software lets xi turn on the butt scanner 90001 at will

[fiery canopy]

especially for online payments and even in person

[silent cloak]

2010 had it too

[fast pagoda]

I'm probably about to buy a new bot and put this one on vacuum only duty upstairs

[rigid snow]

[fast pagoda]

Letting all the models come out

[silent cloak]

People also had a method of drive by skimming with cash registers if u remember that

[fast pagoda]

Fucking l60 is x50 pricing i

[silent cloak]

Using an antenna outside the building in a car

They could just grab the card information (from the registers)

[fiery canopy]

skimmers work either on magnetic strip or chip and pin

[fast pagoda]

D30 actually seemed good for the price tho

[fiery canopy]

only 2 which works

[fast pagoda]

Surprisingly so

[fiery canopy]

they always have

[fast pagoda]

Letting roborock and others put out their contenders tho

[rigid snow]

yeah you could grab card info which maybe would but probably wouldn’t be enough to authorize a tx

[fiery canopy]

depends on the retailer

and the card provider

mastercard no you cant, but alot of the time with visa shit jus goes through

[rigid snow]

that i know that they used to or do say their number over rfid

[fiery canopy]

The nubmer wouldnt be over any rfid

the number / shit is grabbed via a small camera / sensor

[rigid snow]

we’re talking early 00s here

[silent cloak]

It was kind of an issue in the early 2000s actually

[fiery canopy]

Ahh

[silent cloak]

Wouldn't even need high powered scanners

[fiery canopy]

my brain t hinks of modern day since thats what im most familiar with

[silent cloak]

Thankfully cards have been upgraded over the years

But the fact we still dont have the main number rolling is embarrassing

[fiery canopy]

they have but still could be more secure as there are still issues with the system

[silent cloak]

They are removing the old slide strip

[fast pagoda]

I like dreames products but I'm salty as fuck at them still cuz I grabbed an x40 ultra for a ridiculously low price ($270 shipped) and they sat there for like 15 days and canceled the other saying oh yeah we can't fulfil it die to difficulties

[silent cloak]

That I know

I forgot when they said

But its confirmed

[fiery canopy]

Like for example, could for online payments replace the whole card number system, and make it so u have a standardized new system which just directly authorises with the bank

[fast pagoda]

Never been that assmad about getting a refund

[kind nimbus]

lol was that a pricing error ?

[fast pagoda]

Nope

Refurb

[kind nimbus]

oh

[fast pagoda]

For $270 I was gonna yolo it

[fiery canopy]

Idk if its the best solution but one I just came up with in like 10 seconds

so

[silent cloak]

Let's just pay with solid gold coins

[fiery canopy]

ong

[silent cloak]

Carry it in a big sack

Doubles as a workout

[fast pagoda]

Give the merchant an indeterminate amount. Of money and leave

Do not count

[silent cloak]

All pennies

[fiery canopy]

ehh in all reality the shame is, there never will be a turly secure system

[silent cloak]

Like that one guy who got fined

And paid thousands in pennies

[fiery canopy]

there will always be some vunrebility somewhere which someone has missed , or is just a issue of how the system opperates

[fast pagoda]

The secure system are these hands amirigjt fellas

[rigid snow]

i got a cc recently and it’s kind of a hassle to get a plastic one, no tl no nothing, they expect me to use … so basically people here missed apple pay so much they made it so you can use ble to tap to pay

[silent cloak]

I deadass want to keep most of my cash as gold

Banks dont need it

They after me lucky charms

[fast pagoda]

Actually banks very much do need it they desperately need it so bad

All their money doesn't exist

[fiery canopy]

yep

[silent cloak]

Its my gold

[mighty thorn]

POV probe currently on way to suspiciously gold shaped asteroid the size of Texas

[fast pagoda]

Lmao

[silent cloak]

Its going in my pot

[fast pagoda]

Me treasure

[silent cloak]

At the end of my rainbow

[rigid snow]

give the bank your money so i can spend it

[fiery canopy]

real

[rigid snow]

with the cc

[silent cloak]

Card cant get hacked if ur money is solid

[fast pagoda]

I need your mom to up her sugar momma payments to me thanks

[silent cloak]

A friend of mine got fucked from 30k fraud and his bank pretty much told him to fuck off

And his credit score remains broken

[fiery canopy]

but like for online payments especially there is no real system which could really be made amazingly, be secure, and wouldn't cause massive backlash from a vast majority of the population hence we are stuck with an inheriently flawed one

[fast pagoda]

Monero

[fiery canopy]

real

[silent cloak]

Honestly

[fast pagoda]

Perfect

[fiery canopy]

Honeslty thats the truth

[silent cloak]

The best reason to use crypto would be security

[fast pagoda]

About as good I can think of yeah

[fiery canopy]

ye

[silent cloak]

(Not bitcoin)

[fast pagoda]

Bitcoin is not yeah

That's an investment instrument

Not a currency

Also horribly insecure

[fiery canopy]

If u want to in all reality try to replace normal currency with crypto monero is the best option

[silent cloak]

Decentralizing shit is really the best course of action for alot of security

[kind nimbus]

[silent cloak]

It just generally isn't possible for most things sadly

[fast pagoda]

Yep monero is the goat for a while now

[rigid snow]

you buy bitcoin on a crypto exchange and never withdraw them

[fast pagoda]

At the root of it people can't fucking wait

For transactions

[rigid snow]

so the exchange can get hacked and you’re left with nothing

[fiery canopy]

The main issue with moenro is getting is standardized more widely

the it already is

or I would just primarilly use it

[fast pagoda]

Imagine keeping anything in an exchange

[fiery canopy]

Thats the core issue really

[silent cloak]

Honestly would be great if the world could just pick a single currency and run with it

But dont see that happening anytime soon

[fiery canopy]

That wont ever happen due to many political / geopolitical issues I wont get into here

atleast anytime soon as said

[silent cloak]

Humanity moment

[fast pagoda]

Mine safely finds a nice happy new owner shortly after I have it

[fiery canopy]

Hummanity is both amazing but also flawed

[silent cloak]

Everyone take a moment to yell at the jellyfish piloting your body

[fiery canopy]

real

[rigid snow]

that’s fine if it’s liquid, what are you gonna do, throw them back and forth between wallets and burn substantial money on gas fees

[silent cloak]

For its crimes against the greater whole

[fast pagoda]

No, humanity is amazing in its flaws

[fiery canopy]

thats a better way to say it

Tired brain cant word shit properl

[silent cloak]

Its amazing how good we are at making them

[fast pagoda]

Put it in one(1)offline wallet or securely stored wallet

[silent cloak]

Like the guy who lost billions in bitcoin

Because he lost his wallet

[kind nimbus]

So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish

[fiery canopy]

I personally like having just a hardware wallet

tbh

[silent cloak]

Just get it installed as a chip in ur arm

[fiery canopy]

honestly

[silent cloak]

Literally can't lose it

[mighty thorn]

…

How did they get a screenshot of that

[silent cloak]

(People have done it btw)

[fast pagoda]

Honestly I almost certainly lost 10s of thousands of dollars in that way, I mined btc back in the day in a pool and made several purchases in the $100+ range

[kind nimbus]

?

[fast pagoda]

No idea where those coins are

[fiery canopy]

ye

[mighty thorn]

U can’t screenshot during reboot

How image

[fast pagoda]

Bmc

[silent cloak]

Remember slush pool?

[kind nimbus]

vnc

lol

[mighty thorn]

Kevin Warwick my beloved

[fast pagoda]

Fuaiosgjjsnxodkakd

[rigid snow]

i said liquid
ok imagine this, you have 2k of solana, you wanna sell it and buy btc futures, but then you say nvm, sell your position and buy eth

[silent cloak]

Bro gave me fucking flashbacks

I remember i mined on slush

It used to be peak when pooling became the only option

Idk if it still exists

[rigid snow]

you have to use the exchange for at least 4 ops including deposits and withdrawals

[fiery canopy]

I just wish monero was more standerdized. Cas like crypto as a whole is amazing but the isue is people abuise it [not inheriently a flaw but yes] + its gonna be a difficult migration for alot of people

[rigid snow]

and the actual problem with monero is it being untouchable by anyone reputable

the exchange i use just plain doesn’t have it

[fiery canopy]

Ehh

fe

I have aplace to buy / sell it

but I have to vpn to use it

[rigid snow]

yeah sure but yeah

[fiery canopy]

so not fitting reputable per say

[kind nimbus]

@mighty thorn see it's a VNC connection

thats how i can screenshot it

[silent cloak]

NFTs ruined the rep for crypto sadly

[fiery canopy]

ye

[silent cloak]

Makes me sad

[mighty thorn]

Can I nominate this for message of the year?

[silent cloak]

Seeing how it started and how it got butchered

[mighty thorn]

Yeah sure but yeah

[rigid snow]

yeah sure but yeah

[fiery canopy]

My hope is with a renewed effort to some degree the community can briong it back

[silent cloak]

Just like LLMs

[fiery canopy]

ye

[mighty thorn]

-# was waiting for it

[silent cloak]

Keep Logan Paul away

[fiery canopy]

ong

[fast pagoda]

me irl

[silent cloak]

U started typing so I had to

U were begging for ragebait

I could see it in ur eyes

[kind nimbus]

you cant screenshot during reboot 111!!1!!!1!1

[fast pagoda]

i like being able to see earlier in reboot than usual

[fiery canopy]

ehh rn the main issue will be just getting a gorup together who have the skills + trust to bring it

but I can see it happening

[silent cloak]

U think neurosama would start a pump and dump scheme?

[fiery canopy]

ehh

[fast pagoda]

creature

[fiery canopy]

probably

[rigid snow]

i can explain ok

[kind nimbus]

lemmie guess

web based kvm access? my server has something similar

[fast pagoda]

that's this one yeah

vertiv

[mighty thorn]

yeah sure but yeah

[rigid snow]

i wanted to type “yeah sure but is that place a reputable or a convenient one” but they were first to point out that they need a vpn so i just yeah

[kind nimbus]

only knew pikvm

[rigid snow]

yeah

[mighty thorn]

Okay

but

[rigid snow]

yeah

[mighty thorn]

“yeah sure but yeah” was better cause funny

[jagged turtle]

star this

[fiery canopy]

the issue wil always be finding a person whos willing to take on the risk

of being the person to lead the charge

[silent cloak]

Mint i should add all my domains to my discord like u

[rigid snow]

it’s just how i talk it’s not that funny

that’s crazy

[fast pagoda]

almost bought quack.mom the other day

[silent cloak]

I have so fucking many

I collect them like pokemon

[fiery canopy]

I recon, it will happen eventually tho, eventually . I just hope that it will be sooner then later and by the right person

cas the wrong person doing the right thing is what leads to a massive fuck up and another massive step back usually

[rigid snow]

not all my domains btw just the ones i feel comfortable sharing, a boundary apparently only i seem to have

[mighty thorn]

Literally collecting yearly charges for no benefit 😭

[fiery canopy]

I own way to many domains

[silent cloak]

I mean its public facing so yeah its a little silly

[fiery canopy]

I have brought so many over the years

[silent cloak]

Story of my life

[fiery canopy]

ong

I Just see randomly payments to mnany diff domain providers

Out of my bank

at the most random dates

times

[silent cloak]

Idk how many I have total

I need to check

[sweet pebble]

twins

what is the difference between a queue and priority queue

[fiery canopy]

priority que is a sperate que which gets to skip infornt of non priority

[sweet pebble]

an iq too high

[fiery canopy]

my brain just auto responded [idek what the fuck I just said so I go with it]

ehh I was just looking into how to buy monero more so, out of a passive curiousty

there are actually some somewhat centralised exchanges which do support it seemingly

[kind nimbus]

need a new crypto currency: NeuroCoin

[fiery canopy]

ong

tbf kraken supports monero

I havent ever used them

and no nothing

but they seem to be semi well known

atleast

[silent cloak]

Pump and dump it

Like a true swarm member

[fiery canopy]

ong

[kind nimbus]

[fiery canopy]

I have now gotten myself going down the rabbit whole of monero

and the maens

of buying / using it

[fast pagoda]

Holy shit I forgot how regular CPU are

[fiery canopy]

yep

[fast pagoda]

surface area

[fiery canopy]

im now downloading the fulkl monero block chain to my pc or smthin

[fast pagoda]

That took

So long for me the first time

When I started my wallet

[fiery canopy]

its actually doiung it rather fast for me

Suprinsgly since im also on mullvad

But Ig I still get over gigabit

on it

My intention is when I have money in my bank account again to buy a fair amount of monero just to be able to see how usable it is

for stuff I do

cas feasibly most things I buy do have options for monero

[slow surge]

C or C++

[fiery canopy]

depends on wat for

diff things diff languages

[fast pagoda]

my internet was the same as it is now

still took forever for some reason

[fiery canopy]

ehh god knows

[fast pagoda]

aka 2.5gb

[fiery canopy]

fe

[fast pagoda]

i probaly had a skill issue

[fiery canopy]

I have 2.5gig but only get a bit over a gig on mullvad

tbf mullvad may be part of the reaosn its fast tho

ig

[sick owl]

Claude used the term "profit-maxxing"

Give me the sweet embrace of death please

[fast pagoda]

i have only heard bad things about mullvad ngl

[fiery canopy]

I like me

em

And wat bad stuff u heard

[sick owl]

I like Mullvad tbh

[kind nimbus]

gonna cut off that bloat

[sick owl]

Decent pricing, decent speeds, lots of services and stellar encryption

[fiery canopy]

yep

Main reason I use it, also they only use account id

I like

aswell

for me its preety much ar equirement as the UK is heading towards trying ot preety much outlaw any form of privacy at this rate

im alrdy fully synced smhow

holy

[sick owl]

Nah that's social media hyperbole

[fiery canopy]

ehh

I have been reading into the laws

I dont like them

personally

[sick owl]

People are freaking out about the age stuff but its pretty easy to just not give social media services your face

[fiery canopy]

the issue is the laws wording allows it to extend beyond that

[sick owl]

Its also not unique to the UK, most of the world is doing it

[fiery canopy]

ye

that is another point

tbf

[sick owl]

The UK is just a convenient scapegoat so people don't notice it happening domestically

[fiery canopy]

Yep

I happen to live here so I can jus be like fml. but the honest truth is it is alot more of a global thing

[sick owl]

Tbh I'm a lot more worried about the threat American tech companies pose to my privacy than the UK govt right now

[fiery canopy]

yep

Thats another concern in my mind

[sick owl]

Since they have a strong financial and geopolitical incentive to be increasingly invasive

[fiery canopy]

yep

I try where possible to not use things

and self host shit / use more decentralised stuff, but to some degree your forced

even if not directly

[leaden crest]

queue uses nodes in a previous/next implementation, priority queue uses nodes in a min heap implementation

have you tried w3 schools

[fiery canopy]

I sorta forgot that this was aprogramming hcannel when repsonding to that earlier

Also

lf doing basic googling

[sick owl]

Self hosting is the way

[fiery canopy]

indeed

[leaden crest]

I host my brain on a potato

[fiery canopy]

real

[leaden crest]

no offense to potatoes

[fiery canopy]

idek why im still awake

its like 2 am

I just aint particularly tired

I been up since 8 am

[sick owl]

Like a spare old computer can do 90% of what companies will charge you exorbitant monthly fees for

[fiery canopy]

yep

[mighty thorn]

@sick owl

[sick owl]

Particularly if you also game on PC so have some real compute packed into those old rigs

[leaden crest]

did you wake up with a cold sweat screaming someone’s name

[fiery canopy]

nope

[silent cloak]

Whats the difference

[fiery canopy]

UK tech companies hold alot more potential information to colect

us

[leaden crest]

did you get the reference though

[sick owl]

One is completely untethered from accountability

[fiery canopy]

I mean

@leaden crest yep

[silent cloak]

uk has more arrests for internet posts atm

So idk

[fiery canopy]

[ I am currenrtly only using a keyboard so replys are difficult ]

[sick owl]

Not true actually

[fiery canopy]

I am sittting in my chair with my keyboard in my lap feet on the bed

[silent cloak]

Old

Im talking about the many recent ones

[fiery canopy]

@silent cloak The UK is arresting people for stupid shit online tho

[leaden crest]

american news is peak availability heuristic

[silent cloak]

Exactly

[mighty thorn]

I’m not lol

[sick owl]

Again, the UK is a social media scapegoat and a lot of the stuff they're being accused of is by people who are guilty of worse and deflecting

[silent cloak]

Honestly both suck

And are likely in kahoots

[mighty thorn]

No

[fiery canopy]

yep [ in response to cipher]

[mighty thorn]

Not really

[fiery canopy]

no offence @sick owl but you are wrong slightly but the point you are trying to make is valid

[sick owl]

I can come up with a bunch of more recent ones in the US

Just can't post em under server rules since they're politically motivated arrests

[silent cloak]

UK has pvp enabled

[fast pagoda]

unless there's a credible active threat of bodily harm that the person is in the process of executing I cannot ever say anything other than being arrested for wrongthink is bullshit regardless of locale

[fiery canopy]

ong

[silent cloak]

People are using proxies

[sick owl]

I can't think of any cases of late that stand out

[silent cloak]

The admins dont care

[mighty thorn]

So true bestie

[sick owl]

Stuff gets misrepresented as stupid when its actually pretty heinous

[fiery canopy]

@sick owl there are alot [u have to live here and actively monitor the many diff sources] just sayin

[sick owl]

The cases that I've seen are always either A. threats of violence or B. released without charge

[mighty thorn]

They should

[sick owl]

I do live here

[leaden crest]

I love heinous ketchup dude

[fiery canopy]

gg

but like

I have heard of aquite a few recent instances

But they may of been misrepresented to me quitepossibl

so

[sick owl]

Only one I've seen people argue over recently is that vtuber but frankly they kinda deserved to be arrested, dramaslop channels way downplayed how horrific the stuff they were involved in is

[mighty thorn]

I knew it

Only a Brit could think this

Same with their food

[silent cloak]

Lmao

[mighty thorn]

Are in denial

It’s okay potat

We are here for you

You can think for yourself for once

[sick owl]

The irony

[mighty thorn]

No…

Yeah I’m leaving before I get in trouble for arguing

But no

Just no

[silent cloak]

Guys we need something new to argue over

[sick owl]

They were arrested by a joint task force investgating a child abuse ring on tumblr is what the current picture looks like as another similar arrest was made recently, I'll be blunt. Social media is running with a narrative but the actual details don't paint a pretty picture

[fiery canopy]

I think its time for a new topic

[silent cloak]

We dont want things to get too civil in here

That would be terrible

[fiery canopy]

this is going down a rabbit hole

ehh

I havent really lookedf into the vtuber case so wont comment on it

[fast pagoda]

In recent news I'm on hour 4 of the quick reboot to replace my cooler

At least hour 4

[fiery canopy]

The closet dresser server has been a fun location

Holy tech dungeon

I respect it though

[fast pagoda]

They gave me a fuckin closet meant for a person with a WARDROBE

[mighty thorn]

Shed based home datacenter would go so hard

An entire house of electrical bills in one shed

[fiery canopy]

if I fully cleared it out and had the cash I could probably get a solid 4 - 6 racks easily in there and still have space for a small workspace at the other side

[fast pagoda]

Yeah these monitors are all being very well used

guys you are not going to believe how many calories you can get out of a small chunk of uranium

[silent cloak]

A good amount actually

But u know a homeless guy has about 1000000

[fast pagoda]

yeah it carry them around cuz theyre so much more efficient

[silent cloak]

Just a little bulk tip

[fiery canopy]

I find it funny I can do most of my work just with a keyboard like I am rn

I need more monitors

[silent cloak]

Must of been a very angry person

[idle dune]

But my thinkpad can only do 3 monitors

[fast pagoda]

it was not a constant every day i guess so that basically is a lie

well there's

3 computers on the main desk rn 4 usually

[silent cloak]

10 reps of stackoverflow copy paste

[idle dune]

[fiery canopy]

I also just have had a obscene amount of free time, so I learnt alot of diff things.

[fast pagoda]

it was too much lol

[slow surge]

so many... monitors

[fiery canopy]

for me my workflows mostly could be done on a singular monitor due to what I use, but I do tend to use multiple as I just have learnt to do it effeciently

If I didnt percifically spend time learning to allocate it propeory onto multiple it would make 0 sense for me to use more then 1

[leaden crest]

alt+tab

[fiery canopy]

I use a tiling wm

If I ever get the money and a acutal desktop. I want to grab these and set them up as only temrinala nd webui monitors on a quad mount.

[fast pagoda]

i meant to say that to the guy who toold me to die randomly

[leaden crest]

[slow surge]

its boring to live?

lmfao

[silent cloak]

[sick owl]

Guy was immediately nuked lmao

What was up with that

[fast pagoda]

no, because you can chage physical objects instead of having a real reason to dfo anything

i want too badly to admit

have you seen dual screen portable monitor

[silent cloak]

https://tenor.com/view/spider-man-spider-man-web-of-shadows-depressed-sad-gif-16524395

[fast pagoda]

good for that i would imagine (i havent set multiple up like that but)

at one point i was using one like this

felt kinda like a fallout terminal or something lmao

[sick owl]

Unholy mutant laptop

[silent cloak]

Homemade galaxy fold

Thats crazy

[fast pagoda]

i replaced it w'/ a regular monitor in there when i moved the mount and i wasnt using both screens as 2 screens, just one longe boi and it was impractical like that lol

giant gap right in the center

[silent cloak]

I like how redundant it is showing the same view

[fast pagoda]

yeah it did that in bios lmao

well uefi

it could be 2 duplicated, 1 across both, or 2 separate

[silent cloak]

U have redundancy on ur monitors and ur drives

[fast pagoda]

https://tenor.com/view/family-guy-building-construction-explosion-amish-gif-17407420

[idle dune]

No i font, the setup isn't mine.

[fast pagoda]

oh yeah i was recommending lookin into them is all

theyre p cheap 2 get 2 screens for that kinda usecase

they have vesa mount on them usually

i keep seeing like

[olive sable]

Goodmorning

I think

[fast pagoda]

dual 18s with 144hz and stuff

pretty wild

[fast pagoda]

happy thanksgiving

you're finally here

i had a thing to post but i

didnt want to cuz you were the only one that might slightly be like nice

[olive sable]

Havent decided if im going back to sleep again or if im gonna just push through with only 4 hours

[fast pagoda]

Was just laughing at 2 subwoofer

[olive sable]

[fast pagoda]

Redundant subwoofer

[olive sable]

At least space them out

Iirc there's a 1/3 rule

[fast pagoda]

nah they are not usually used in concert

[olive sable]

Why not?

[fast pagoda]

the circular one is for my sonos speakers and the square is my pc speakers

[olive sable]

[fast pagoda]

i can use them in concert now though suddenly

usually the sonos one is half fallen off that shelf

leaning on the wall

spaces out nicely

[olive sable]

Should you be putting one behind the other tho?

They say subwoofers have no locationality, and i say thats absolute bullshit

Biggest lie ever

[fast pagoda]

subwoofers do fine in a corner behind stuff their waves are dummy longe

since theyre in a corner

it reflects and it is loud as fucking shit right here

which is where i am

so im good w/ it

im usually listening on headphones weirdly enough

[olive sable]

I used to have my 75Wsub in the corner

Which made it sound a lot more impressive

[fast pagoda]

yeah it makes them very boomy

w3hich is truly a bad thing but like

monke brain

[olive sable]

But the actual sound difference between 75w in the corner and doing it properly with a 200W one was pretty surprising to me

[fast pagoda]

yeah i dont understand the whole placement doesnt matter thing, it does matter, either way youll get bass response but it changes the characteristics of it so much

[olive sable]

The only issue i still have. Rn my sub is in the exact center, which is also not good cuz it causes standing waves or something

[fast pagoda]

depends on the dimensions of the room + where you are seated + the frequencies ]

[olive sable]

Ye

The roomis 5x20m, and its in the centre of the 5m wall

[fast pagoda]

i specifically got a sub mini because i am basically sitting on it and dont need to fill a massive living room or something

and it's surprisingly capable for what it is

the 2 opposing woofer thing is not as much of a gimmick as i thought

it's only like 60-70w rms or something

2 opposed 6 inch woofer

it is significantly louder and gets a lot lower than what that implies

having had 15s on thousands of watts in muh car

i am still like dayum sometimes

[olive sable]

the room tapers off slightly due to a slanted closet wall and some stuff on either side. so the place in the room with the most bass (besides directly infront of the sub) is the place furthest away from the sub at the entrance door

[fast pagoda]

yours is wired?

[olive sable]

ye

[fast pagoda]

that';s the other thing

wireless so put literally wherever

[olive sable]

standard RCA cable from the AVR

[fast pagoda]

i like sonos quite a bit but they are definitely the apple ahh products

[olive sable]

i went for a pretty pricey AVR cuz it can do 7.3.4

or 9.3.2

or 11.3

[fast pagoda]

i do want a real receiver w/ discrete amplifiers but every time im holding thousands of dollars i end up with like gpus

you can get pretty good stuff for way less than that but im an idiot so

[olive sable]

real

i bought a denon AVR 6200 something for 500 a year ago or so

Denon AVR-X6200W

its 11 channels of processing, but only 9 are amplified

you can just get an external 2 channel amp tho for the other channels

[fast pagoda]

im moving to belgium when i flee this country whenever that ends up

so i can take advantage of all the boomers who stell stuff for nothing over there

[olive sable]

[sick owl]

Tbh anywhere in Europe is pretty good for tech in that regard

[sick owl]

[olive sable]

i bought it in a 2ndhand irl retail store in leuven that placed it online. i asked if they could send it and they told me to go to the store and i was like "you're a store???"

[fast pagoda]

that is one thing

i am pretty sure they havent invented shipping packages there

[olive sable]

they have, people just hate shipping

which is not unfair cuz DHL is absolute ass

colis prive might be the worst in the industry those damned french

and bpost is kinda mid

honestly ups and postnl from when i get stuff from the netherlands has been my best experiences

besides that they lack locations so i still have to cycle 2km to the nearest pickup point

[fast pagoda]

I suppose at least you can cycle there

I am required to drive everywhere

Else certain death

No sidewalks

[olive sable]

my new phone doesnt have an sd card slot, so im moving my pictures to my 16TB hardd rive

and i have found a gem im deciding to share

[fast pagoda]

Gem alarm

[fast pagoda]

fuck that played on tsonos

SO FUKING LOUD

[olive sable]

[fast pagoda]

hello everynyan

[olive sable]

my notepad file is on here with the anime i have watched so far

[fast pagoda]

simple give your data to a farmer like mal like me

[olive sable]

nah

mal is too complicated for me

[fast pagoda]

It's nice cuz with the sync addon it just tracks for me

[olive sable]

they expect me to rate an anime

but it isnt that simple

[fast pagoda]

And not just mal can be anything anilist w/e

[olive sable]

sometimes i like watching the 2 star isekai slop

im a complicated man

[sick owl]

Never forget that the only thing more valuable than your RAM is your data

[fast pagoda]

Catch me out here rating domestic girlfriend 10/10

[olive sable]

how old was i again when that released?

[fast pagoda]

the anime was 2019

[olive sable]

uhm

12

[fast pagoda]

perfect programming for a strapping young lag

lag

lad

might become a lag if watching that as a lad

i would be into like soap opera i think if i were a latin american mother

[olive sable]

the screeps docs are on here

no its empty

[fast pagoda]

i unironically read and actively enjoyed twilight so im just cooked rooyally

[olive sable]

appears to have been a shortcut

[olive sable]

never watched or read it

[fast pagoda]

i'd imagine it's not actually good

[olive sable]

all i know is its about vampires

[fast pagoda]

vampire romance

me favourite

vampeerz @sage crag mhm

[olive sable]

from my understanding of what my sister explained, it kinda like harem anime for woman

with vampires

[fast pagoda]

basically it's yeah a romance drama but with cool vampirez

i HATED jacob

i angrily watch these things

ive never been more incensed in my life than when i powered through like chapter 100->265 or whatever the end of domestic gf was

that made me so fucking mad

loved it

[olive sable]

the triangle??? 🔺 😭

[fast pagoda]

Haet jacob

Luv me shiny cullens

Simple as

[amber fractal]

I read it before I was a teen so maybe not the smartest move on my folks to leave those books out

[fast pagoda]

Yeah it probably has some hand in why I'm the way that I am (aawagga)

[amber fractal]

I think I got through three of them before I was stopped

[fast pagoda]

Weak

[sick owl]

Oh yeah @fast pagoda did you get a chance to set up your stack chan yet

[fast pagoda]

Read and watched em all in theatre

[sick owl]

I was thinking of doing mine today so I'm curious about the stock firmware

[fast pagoda]

Hadn't arrived

[sick owl]

Ah, gotcha

[fast pagoda]

🥀

Along with my neuro and evil plushies

[olive sable]

there are a bunch of .ARW files on this sd card. i wonder if i could get an exstention or an app to dispaly those in thnar

[fast pagoda]

They're just tiff

I think

I bet they'll appear if you rename them tiff lmao but idk I never have tiff files

Would be scuffed cuz idk what other differences they have

[olive sable]

they're not tiff

[fast pagoda]

They're raw so idk

[olive sable]

they're .ARW (Sony Alpha Raw)

[fast pagoda]

They are tiff

It's based on tiff

[olive sable]

its raw sensor data

[fast pagoda]

It's just the container they used

Kinda like how mp4 can be different video stream types ya kno

[olive sable]

no its not the same lol

[fast pagoda]

That was more of a 'hope thunar is stupid enough to just try and render them and maybe it'll work,'

You'd be surprised how often that works

Almost all raw formats are tiff based

At least they have been historically

[olive sable]

it might be based on tiff but i doubt it will actually render

[fast pagoda]

It'll really just matter if the system can actually render raw yea

It just might not even try thru not recognizing .arw

[olive sable]

it would appear i also dont have an app capable of viewing tiff

[fast pagoda]

Package called ufraw used to be around

You might need to add a thumbnail entry to whatever config thunar uses

After getting ufraw or whatever the current thing is

[olive sable]

no, changing to .tiff doesnt work

[fast pagoda]

Yeah it won't if you can't render raw anyways lule

[opaque sigil]

I like how clicking on unsupported image formats in dolphin tells you exactly which package to install for them

[olive sable]

no i used an online .tiff viewer thingy

[fast pagoda]

dolphin my beloved

[olive sable]

im using thunar cuz i didnt liek dolphin

[fast pagoda]

tyhat thing cant render raw then either unless it's just realy stupid

[olive sable]

i mean

if you want to try feel free i guess

[fast pagoda]

extremely bold to send this without knowing what it is lmao

[olive sable]

i do know what it is

[civic lily]

clearly a virus

mods, send them to the shadow realm

[olive sable]

thats the one

[fast pagoda]

hoers

[olive sable]

hons

i wonder what the metadata says

[fast pagoda]

• darktable (http://www.darktable.org/), at least 1.7
• RawTherapee (http://rawtherapee.com/), at least 5.2
• ART (https://art.pixls.us/)

these are what work for GIMP

[olive sable]

checks out i think

[fast pagoda]

Mfw it compiles shaders

damn, 1 star rating

tough crowd

[olive sable]

damn

its just a horse, its not that deep

[fast pagoda]

interesting that i had a preview

cuz i definitely

did not have a raw viewer installed

[olive sable]

does it still view it as a .tiff?

[fast pagoda]

yeah

changes the display characteristics tho

[opaque sigil]

when in doubt throw ffprobe at it

[olive sable]

hmmm

[fast pagoda]

TIFF

[olive sable]

i think viewing it a .ARW makes it more acurate accordin to extra sensor data or whatever

[fast pagoda]

it was actually i just hit the darkroom mode by accident

shows it the same

[olive sable]

while.tiff uses the data but incorrectly or soemthing

[fast pagoda]

i thought it was that as well at first

but naw it's just me being silly

[olive sable]

i see

[fast pagoda]

i like how

.arw

is just

.raw

spelled wrong

[opaque sigil]

could be an extension to tiff I guess

[fast pagoda]

it is

almost all raw formats are

[opaque sigil]

[olive sable]

this was shot on a sony alpha 230. cuz its the only dslr we have that is cheap enough to take on vacation

[patent shard]

what does alpha even mean, lol

Alpha cameras

[fast pagoda]

alpha cam

for google, it means

something similar to claude mythos for anthropic

[olive sable]

its jsut the branding sony uses for their cunsumer dslr

Sony's primary line of mirrorless and digital cameras

[fast pagoda]

they use it for non dslr too

mirrorless yeah

it's just their prosumer cameras

hmm

i might get a camera before going to japan again at the end of the year

i was gonna do it before last time but

600+ buckaronies for a mirrorless i'd be relatively not mad about

that's so much money for ewaste instead

and phone cameras are "good enough" ish that it is hard to reason thru it

but there's no replacement for displacement

[olive sable]

ye

i feel like a decent iphone or even samsung camera could bet that a230 we have

the only difference is sensor size

some of yall remember the python game engine, but before python i had ti-basic engine

Belgian law explicitly allows you to make copies of legally purchased music and films for your own private, non-commercial use within your "family circle".

just to clarify

Another important warning to take heed
