It's only for new users, for now. But watch it getting expanded to everybody else too, because "bots might wait a bit longer before they reply, like, and bookmark".
<SiFuh>
Time for coffee

At this point, why won't people just up their own blogs on their own domains (or at Neocities) again, and just treat Twitter as an RSS feed for zoomers?
<SiFuh>
I don't even have a twit account
<remiliascarlet>
A Twat account.
<SiFuh>
Twit sounds better

Twit = A foolishly annoying person.

remiliascarlet: The paint shop told me to stop painting the house. They are going to send a representive to come and look because the new batch of paint is not the same colour as the previous bucket.

So Trump is told that he must turn up to court every day in NYC. So he can't go to his sons graduation. He can't travel around America and hold rallies. So he walks out of the Court house and into a local Bodega and gets a massive crowd of people lined up for blocks, climbing up signs, and fire escapes and hanging out windows. Hmmm. He should do that every evening. Have an NYC rally every day he is in
<SiFuh>
court :-P

<dlcusa>
The notes were fine, but I wouldn't have used a patch with that much bite. This is more like Comrades In Arms than Money For Nothing, afterall (IMHO).
<SiFuh>
Brothers in Arms? My favorite Dire Straits song.
<dlcusa>
Yes. I should be asleep.
<SiFuh>
That song always reminds me of when I was living in the jungle in Australia alone. The evening would come and you are sitting on the top of a mountain, looking into the distance and watching the rain clouds and storm moving in slowly as the sky is slowly going dark. Listening to the thunder
<dlcusa>
I get it. Music should be about the feels.
<SiFuh>
Most people choose Sultans of Swing as his best guitar piece. But I'd have to say Brothers in Arms is the best for me
<SiFuh>
I love how he makes the guitar just sing
<dlcusa>
He's not a Chet Atkins Certified Guitar Player for nothing.
<SiFuh>
I remember when I was told that they made the song "Money for Nothing" as kind of an insult to MTV. But it was so good, MTV loved it. Haha
<SiFuh>
Rolling Stone listed the song as the 94th greatest guitar song of all time, noting how Mark Knopfler "traded his pristine, rootsy tone for a dry, over-processed sound achieved by running a Les Paul through a wah-wah pedal on a track that became one of the [MTV] network's earliest hits."
<dlcusa>
He was just telling a true piece of his history. But the video was fresh and perfect for MTV. Ever catch Weird Al's parody?
<SiFuh>
Can't remember off the top of my head but I definitely would have since I have all of Weird Al's stuff
<dlcusa>
The movie UHF has a dream sequence.
<SiFuh>
WIERD AL YANKOVIC - Money For Nothing/Beverly Hillbillies
<dlcusa>
He actually flew Mark to the west coast to record it. But Mark wasn't playing it exactly like the original any more, so he used his main guitarist take after he had worked hard to duplicate the original.
<SiFuh>
Some lyrics of the song have been criticised as being homophobic. [27] In a late 1985 interview in Rolling Stone magazine, Knopfler expressed mixed feelings on the controversy:
<SiFuh>
I got an objection from the editor of a gay newspaper in London – he actually said it was below the belt. Apart from the fact that there are stupid gay people as well as stupid other people, it suggests that maybe you can't let it have so many meanings – you have to be direct. In fact, I'm still in two minds as to whether it's a good idea to write songs that aren't in the first person, to take on
<SiFuh>
other characters. The singer in "Money for Nothing" is a real ignoramus, hard hat mentality – somebody who sees everything in financial terms. I mean, this guy has a grudging respect for rock stars. He sees it in terms of, well, that's not working and yet the guy's rich: that's a good scam. He isn't sneering.
<SiFuh>
Heh
<SiFuh>
Homophobic is a stupid word. It's like they have forgotten that phobia = fear
<dlcusa>
Mark was just quoting the guy, a worker in a business selling and installing appliances.
<SiFuh>
For the band's 10 July 1985 concert (televised in the United Kingdom on The Tube on Channel 4 in January 1986[31]), Knopfler replaced the word faggot with queenie
<dlcusa>
Right, big difference.
<SiFuh>
When the song was included in the 1998 compilation Sultans of Swing: The Very Best of Dire Straits, a censored version was used, which completely omitted the second verse. In January 2011, the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council (CBSC) ruled that the unedited version of the song was unacceptable for airplay on private Canadian radio stations, as it breached the Canadian Association of Broadcasters'
<SiFuh>
code of ethics and their equitable portrayal code
<dlcusa>
It's about time for the woke thing to self-destruct.
<SiFuh>
Not all stations abided by this ruling; at least two stations—CIRK-FM in Edmonton, Alberta,[36] and CFRQ-FM in Halifax, Nova Scotia[37]— played the unedited version of "Money for Nothing" repeatedly for one hour out of protest.
<SiFuh>
HAHAHAHAHA
<dlcusa>
Oh, right--UHF has two dream sequences, the first Indiana Jones while frying burgers, the second working late at the UHF station.

Damn, no only did she snap the CV, she twisted it
<zorz>
these cars are heavy... you need light 4x4
<SiFuh>
Nah 200 series have weak CV joints
<SiFuh>
The Japanese must have taken a few short cuts or just a miscalculation
<SiFuh>
Nissan GQ Patrols are excellent 4x4's but they need a few tweaks and modifications because you will break them if you run them as stock.
<SiFuh>
What is kind of cool is that most of the parts you get from other model Nissan's ;-) So you make a hybrid of mixed models to come up with a beast
<zorz>
Btw (and sorry SiFuh, prtverify i also use via githook!),
<farkuhar>
zorz: you're quoting an older message from stenur. His latest crusade is to make the system operable before /usr is even mounted.
<SiFuh>
Probably remove the rear stunt pegs since you can't race with them and besides, if you pedal with your toes, your heal hits the pegs.
<SiFuh>
farkuhar: It's a good idea though. OpenBSD is already setup that way. Core is in / and I have been saying CRUX should be that way.
<SiFuh>
Opt should be in /usr and contrib should be in /usr/local
<SiFuh>
However all configs should be in /etc/
<farkuhar>
SiFuh: you agree with the end result, but not with the leverage that stenur used to achieve it. Specifically in this case, pam_unix needing something that libxcrypt was erroneously putting in /usr/lib, even though most linux_pam stuff is under /lib/security.
<farkuhar>
if there were no linux-pam in core, then stenur might never have started the latest thread.
<zorz>
farkuhar: just had it in my mailbox. really do not know.
<zorz>
SiFuh: BMX i use only GMX

Behind Gmail was an astonishing technological triumph. The cost of storage was collapsing. In 1985, a gigabyte of hard drive memory cost around $75,000. By 1995, it was around $750. Come 2004 -- the year Gmail began -- it was a few dollars. Today, it's less than a penny. Now Gmail offers 15 gigabytes free. What a marvel. What a mess.

speaking of lynx, yesterday i was coding in a python file 800loc. copy paste add delete... format in vim. Going to run the file identication problem. look again everything ok. Make long story short, installed emacs again, fixed the file. - Uninstalled vim and installed vile from lynx, xterm for the small stuff.
<SiFuh>
zorz: Got five airconditioners and a portable airconditioner in the house now
<SiFuh>
So you and remiliascarlet have no excuse to complain it is too hot. Hahaha
<zorz>
hahahaha
<zorz>
what i delete a file fuck
<SiFuh>
Although there are more airconditioners in Kuala Lumpur than here so Kuala Lumpur is much cooler.
<farkuhar>
I wonder ... if stenur started hanging out with us here, would he improve his English as fast as zorz has done? His latest mailing list thread uses "square" in a curious manner, perhaps conveying (to some native speakers) the exact opposite of what he intended.
<SiFuh>
farkuhar: Well I know that people that often hang around with me become very good speakers in less than 3 months. But that is in real life.
<SiFuh>
I did invite stenur here but he declined saying he is quite busy and things
<SiFuh>
And stenur and I are have good relations
<SiFuh>
He always makes me laugh and he is quite a broken, outspoken guy. :-P
<farkuhar>
SiFuh: if he's too busy to join an IRC channel, I doubt he'll have time to hang out with you in real life.
<SiFuh>
I don't know if I can handle a German in real life. Hahaha
<SiFuh>
Imagine if lavaball came to visit me for a week. I am sure one or both of us will end up in hospital.
<SiFuh>
European culture is like rubbing sandpaper on tissue paper for me
<farkuhar>
lavaball probably wouldn't come alone, he'd be accompanied by his slave girl.
<SiFuh>
HAHAHA

<zorz>
girl or pet ?
<zorz>
fuck,,, fuck i deleted a file

<SiFuh>
alias rm="trash "
<SiFuh>
[ meningococcal ~ ]
<zorz>
let me rewrite it again..... good for memorising
<SiFuh>
I actually find trash very annoying. Out of all the years I have used it. I was glad I had it 'one' time
<SiFuh>
Unfortunately it doesn't work with MC
<SiFuh>
Or at the least, I haven't figured it out yet. Not that I have tried
<zorz>
i used it ones when with archlinux.
<SiFuh>
farkuhar: That newbie is still going strong on Telegram. :-P He can't get GPU to work. Looks like he hasn't updated his firmware. Found out he doesn't even have firmware installed because he can't access it through mobile networks.
<zorz>
SiFuh: .emacs (global-tab-line-mode 1)
<zorz>
all buffers in tabline... so nice :)
<SiFuh>
I gave him a URL and then he asked me a question then I said it is in that URL I sent. So he replied "I will look before ask you👍 thanks so much". He might be another zorz who never reads

<SiFuh>
zorz: I sanded the wall back. The put a new coat of paint. While standing their looking at, bubbles started to rise up in the paint around the section that I was having issues with. I have NEVER seen anything like it. It was like the wall was the surface of boiling water.
<zorz>
fucking hell!
<zorz>
Japanese paint makes bubbles?
<zorz>
i thought only greek frappe makes bubbles
<SiFuh>
I don't know. My friend who is a professional painter says there must be something in the paint below. I said, the paint below is the same as the rest of the wall.
<SiFuh>
He says he has no idea. Never seen a breathing wall.
<SiFuh>
I will come back tomorrow and check it out. Sand it gently. Re-plaster it to cover up the electricians bodgy job and paint again over it.
<SiFuh>
I will keep doing it until I succeed
<SiFuh>
I hate shitty jobs
<zorz>
if it turns shitty... because you know it... everytime that you pass from the spot in home you will get frustruted.
<SiFuh>

zorz: "with openbsd no more excitements." So you say OpenBSD is boring?
<remiliascarlet>
zorz: Because "excitement" means "something fun".
<zorz>
remiliascarlet: plus everytime i see people talking about pam, this that.... I say.... nomore for myself :)
<remiliascarlet>
So if OpenBSD is no more excitements, it means it's boring.
<zorz>
remiliascarlet: let me find the appropriate word for you
<SiFuh>
OpenBSD versions through 7.4
<SiFuh>
zorz: Dildo! Is the word you are looking for
<zorz>
what i meean is excitments = unwanted surprises
<zorz>
xnxx.com
<zorz>
no exact word in english to explain the greek word.... english lang very poor.
<remiliascarlet>
Then your sentence would be "with OpenBSD no more surprises".
<zorz>
yes!
<remiliascarlet>
Think in English to speak English. The only way to get more or less correct word choices.
<SiFuh>
If you can't find the same word in English then you are an amateur
<zorz>
hahahah
<SiFuh>
remiliascarlet: Bet the Greek word he is looking for is the same in English
<zorz>
greek vocabulary is at least 10 times the english one.
<SiFuh>
Fuck off
<SiFuh>
English is the prostitute of all languages
<zorz>
ofxourse fuck off
<SiFuh>
It's vocabulary is insanely huge
<SiFuh>
If they can't find a word, or make up a word, they poach a word from a foreign language
<zorz>
SiFuh: Greek vocabulary is typically considered to be larger than English vocabulary. One reason for this is that Greek has a long and rich history, with many words that have been in use for thousands of years. Additionally, Greek has contributed significantly to the English language through loanwords and theological terms, further expanding its vocabulary
<remiliascarlet>
"They say one who masters English is to become the Masterof all."
<zorz>
russian is more important, since everybody can comunicate in english.
<remiliascarlet>
It's like saying "Hindi is more important, because Mandarin is more widely used".
<zorz>
when i look at universities rankings, i see mit, yale harvard oxford cabridge zurich etc etc never st petersburg... what i am saying is... there is also russian tech in this world.
<remiliascarlet>
Which the world has cancelled in early 2023.
<SiFuh>
This one is for dictionary words. Most words never make it into the dictionary because you'd need a room to fill with books
<zorz>
remiliascarlet: this is so wrong, that companies like apple are not neutral in a thing like this one.
<zorz>
politics, are politics.... companies should be neutral.
<remiliascarlet>
SiFuh: "Korean 1,100,373" "Japanese 500,000" How many of which are you willing to bet those words are loanwords from either Chinese or English?
<SiFuh>
remiliascarlet: Greek is so rich it is either near the bottom or not even on any list. HAHAHA
<remiliascarlet>
zorz: It's a parody, Apple didn't actually remove Russia from Apple Maps.
<remiliascarlet>
It was written at the time when cancelling Russia like a woke mob was trendy.
<SiFuh>
remiliascarlet: Useless bet since it is the same for all languages
<serpente>
remiliascarlet: hahah, yes to follow the sheep indeed, but lets hear it from them

please dont start another war
<SiFuh>
Heh
