<remiliascarlet>
Imagine relying on the largest software development studio on the planet (filled with people who can't code) to store sensitive source code on.
<SiFuh>
I rely on beer
<remiliascarlet>
Also, looks like the decade of x86_64 is coming to an end. Both Apple and Microsoft are betting on their own (proprietary) ARM64 implementations, Linux and the BSD's are pivoting more towards RISC-V, China is making Loongson CPU's which is basically MIPS64, some project focusses on PowerPC 64, and SPARC64 is apparently still a thing too.
<SiFuh>
I would gladly run Sparc64 over x86_64
<SiFuh>
Sparc64 and Alpha were always my favorite CPU architectures
<SiFuh>
One of the first times I ever installed OpenBSD was on a Sparc64
<SiFuh>
It crashed to kernel debug straight away then never crashed again.
<remiliascarlet>
Where is Alpha used in?
<SiFuh>
Computers
<remiliascarlet>
I mean, which specific computers?
<SiFuh>
I ran FreeBSD on an old DEC Alpha
<remiliascarlet>
Because I know of none.
<SiFuh>
Compaq bought up Alpha and removed it from the market
<remiliascarlet>
Ah, maybe that's why.
<remiliascarlet>
I know PowerPC from the old Macs and all game consoles from the 2000s. I know MIPS from the Nintendo 64, SGI workstations, and modern routers.
<SiFuh>
Mine was huge. It was like a bar fridge with a screen
<SiFuh>
It was on wheels
<remiliascarlet>
And of course SPARC from Sun (and now Oracle).
<SiFuh>
Alpha was DEC
<remiliascarlet>
Nintendo 64 is basically a stripped down SGI Indy workstation.
<SiFuh>
Alpha is a 64-bit reduced instruction set computer instruction set architecture developed by Digital Equipment Corporation. Alpha was designed to replace 32-bit VAX complex instruction set computers and to be a highly competitive RISC processor for Unix workstations and similar markets.
<remiliascarlet>
Oh, I see.
<SiFuh>
Yeah, 64 bit in 1992
<remiliascarlet>
That's very early.
<SiFuh>
Yes, but intel decimated the market
<remiliascarlet>
Well, I believe SGI went 64-bit in the 1990s too with their MIPS processors.
<SiFuh>
Never had no Y2K on ALPHA
<SiFuh>
"In the late 1990s, Alpha fizzled in the face of the HP/Intel partnership pushing their Itanium 64-bit architecture. My limited understanding of the phase-out suggests that it was not a technical matter of Itanium being better than Alpha. Rather, it was that Compaq acquired DEC, which was later acquired by HP, that killed the Alpha (by selling it to Intel!)."
<remiliascarlet>
I wonder if 128-bit would ever be a thing.
<remiliascarlet>
Definitely not in the future, now that all the low level boomers are retiring or dying, and all we have left is a crowd of Javascript developers with a few low level developers lost somewhere within the crowd.
<remiliascarlet>
The woman who made the first Loongson CPU was apparently 84 years old at the time she announrced the architecture.
<SiFuh>
I thought Alpha had one but I see they didn't
<SiFuh>
remiliascarlet: I have a feeling everything is going down anyway. So we will probably living in tents in the mountains hunting snakes for dinner
<remiliascarlet>
Or a cave, much more stable.
<SiFuh>
A two-year-old girl from Australia needed intensive care in hospital after contracting H5N1 bird flu in the spring, according to the World Health Organization.
<SiFuh>
remiliascarlet: Avoid caves as much as you can.
<SiFuh>
I'd only enter a cave for shelter if there was a super bad storm of soughts.
<SiFuh>
If you want to use a cave as a longterm shelter then you need to clean it out. Make sure no nasty animals and bat guano or mould spores.

Lol, just got called a "redneck" for saying you can't change policies through voting, only who's in government seats.
<remiliascarlet>
Remember, most people are so mentally weak, even the most reasonable person ever would be seen as "madshit insane" to them.
<remiliascarlet>
So you have to be the same kind of deranged lunatic as they are to be considered "reasonable".
<dlcusa>
Don't forget mainframes--Linux at least will continue to support however the architechure evolves.
<remiliascarlet>
Some do, but not all.
<remiliascarlet>
Many distro's have deprived you from 32-bit support a long time ago, just because.
<remiliascarlet>
And not many Linux distro's that support non-Intel, non-AMD, and non-ARM chips either.
<SiFuh>
remiliascarlet: Those people are morons. Governments should have nothing to do with health or safety. It should be the people that are responsible for it.
<SiFuh>
Next time a guy breaks into my house, I am going to call the Prime Minister and tell him to come to my home and save me from the boogie man.
<remiliascarlet>
Unfortunately, most people are morons, which is why they believe they need governments for health and safety.
<SiFuh>
I remember when they had the poisoned baby milk in China, the guy who was selling fake rice made from a type of plastic and the guy selling pork made from cardboard. The government didn't do shit. It was the people who put in a complaint. The person(s) were arrested and taken to court and the court decided.
<remiliascarlet>
And those of us who aren't morons get dragged along into their stupid system.
<SiFuh>
Had the same dispute with emmett1 about weapons in Malaysia.
<SiFuh>
Just because some fucking idiots can't be trusted with a weapon, doesn't mean that every person in Malaysia should be prohibited from owning, carrying weapons. Why are we being punished for someone elses crimes?
<dlcusa>
Families are governments--a system for making group decisions via political means.
<SiFuh>
Families are not dude.
<SiFuh>
Families usually make policies based on love and care
<dlcusa>
:ove and care use deliberation.
<SiFuh>
dlcusa: But I do see your point
<SiFuh>
Polticial decisions in government is made to protect the government and help them become rich and powerful.
<SiFuh>
I am speaking very broadly though.
<remiliascarlet>
And to enrich whoever bribes them.
<dlcusa>
Umtil the oppressed change that government for another.
<remiliascarlet>
Oh sorry, I mean "and enrich whoever lobbies them".
<SiFuh>
dlcusa: Yeah but how to, when you have government telling you that violence isn't the answer. You must do it peacefully.
<SiFuh>
Yet governments are responsible for more violence than anything else in human history.
<remiliascarlet>
This is the funny thing about saying "corrupt government" and "not corrupt government". In what they call "corrupt government", anyone can bribe politicians. In what they call "not corrupt government", only the ultra rich can bribe politicians.
<SiFuh>
remiliascarlet: Covid baton bashing and tasers, pepper sprays around the world. Police enforcing the policy of the UN/IMF and not giving a fuck about the citizens.
<dlcusa>
and scientists.
<SiFuh>
Scientists today are a fucking joke.
<dlcusa>
"Science advances one funeral at a time."
<remiliascarlet>
Most of the "science" today is either based on ridiclous questionnaires, or completely made up.
<SiFuh>
Since 1987 I wanted to be a scientist but the more I learned the more I realized they care not about science but the money and getting a name for themselves.
<SiFuh>
remiliascarlet: Evolution is a theory. Not a fact. Yet it is being taught as fact in schools
<dlcusa>
Tobacco companies bought many scientists.
<SiFuh>
I like tobacco
<remiliascarlet>
Jokes on you, because evolution has never been taught to me in the short amount of time I was in schools
<SiFuh>
Had to quit though because my throat died in a motorcycle accident
<SiFuh>
remiliascarlet: I was asked why I decided to study Electrical Engineering instead of Physics. I said for over 400 years Physicist have just wasted time. No facts, only theories. And I ain't going to add anymore.
<SiFuh>
Besides Eistein was a fucking moron yet America and the Encyclopedias sell him off as a super genius. FFS....

What does Einstein and AI have in common? They are both know nothing and they plagiarize everything.
<remiliascarlet>
You previously said that evolution supposedly makes no sense, because we're suppoed to get better, not worse. However, we did get better. Brains got bigger and better to figure out more efficient ways to hunt. Also, our bodies grew bigger. Your average Mongol back in the Kangaskhan era was over 2 fucking meters, whereas your average soy addicted Japanese can barely even manage to get to 1.7
<remiliascarlet>
meters.
<dlcusa>
Then he just got lucky predicting how the apparent position of those stars in that 1920s' eclipse photo would shift due to the sun's gravity?
<remiliascarlet>
Oops, accidentally misread "Einstein" as "Epstein" at first.
<SiFuh>
remiliascarlet: You are quoting shit from Darwinism. Do you know they said our brians got bigger because we discovered how to make fire and by eating vegetables and meat that was cooked allowed our bodies to spend less time on digestion and more time on the brain?
<SiFuh>
It's all theories.. none of it is fact.
<dlcusa>
How come ferrets have better brains than sheep?
<SiFuh>
How come crows are so fucking smart compared to the average liberal?
<SiFuh>
Honey badgers have small brains but they are supremely intillegent escape artists.
<SiFuh>
remiliascarlet: What do you call a fly without wings? A walk!
<farkuhar>
dlcusa: in the case of drain flies, badly. Their wings are too weak to propel them very far, so if you have a drain fly infestation, you'll mostly see them hop from one surface to the next, and then crawl about that surface like ants until the next jump.
<SiFuh>
farkuhar: I remember in the 90's they tried telling us that according to science it is impossible for bees to fly.
<dlcusa>
I'm talking about all aspects of piloting via that number of rain cells.
<dlcusa>
s/rain/brain/
<SiFuh>
dlcusa: The best pilots in the insect world are dragon and damsel flies.
<dlcusa>
But how?
<SiFuh>
Their brain works so fast they can calculate in 3D faster than a squirrel can
<remiliascarlet>
SiFuh: "You are quoting shit from Darwinism." Even if I were, quoting the bible isn't any better.
<SiFuh>
dlcusa: I saw a documentary about it a year ago. I was super impressed
<SiFuh>
remiliascarlet: Depends why you are quoting the bible.
<dlcusa>
Thanks, SiFuh--fascinating!
<SiFuh>
remiliascarlet: If I am quote a scripture from an ancient story composed in the bible that is to allow you to adjust your moral or logical thinking then it is perfectly fine.
<remiliascarlet>
farkuhar: You know what's funny? "We're sorry. Something went wrong. We are unable to fully display the content of this page.", and immediately shows the full article right beneath that when viewing from Lynx.
<farkuhar>
remiliascarlet: I know, it demonstrates the incompetence of JS developers.
<dlcusa>
As a collective, JS programmers are approaching the prestige of COBOL programmers (if they haven't already arrived).
<SiFuh>
farkuhar: Is there a week that goes by where remiliascarlet isn't fascinating us with her distaste towards JS developers?
<dlcusa>
However, the COBOL code has held up really well--JS code is still too new to so evaluate.
<SiFuh>
remiliascarlet: You didn't get my bar joke?
<remiliascarlet>
dlcusa: Funny you mention COBOL, there's a massive demand for COBOL developers over here.
<remiliascarlet>
SiFuh: Which bar?
<dlcusa>
Funny that. Thank you, IT professors.
<SiFuh>
remiliascarlet: Two men walk into a bar.
<SiFuh>
The second guy is pretty stupid. You'd think he'd have seen the first guy walk into the bar and would have ducked.
<remiliascarlet>
"Two men walk into a bar." Good for them, I suppose.
<dlcusa>
Then there are the standard musical notation "bar" jokes.
<SiFuh>
dlcusa: Did you ever see the video about Mantis Shrimps?
<SiFuh>
147, 258, 369, 471, 582, 693, 714, 825 and 936 are the frequencies for Chakra
<SiFuh>
Although supposedly three are lost forever, yet I always knew what the lost three were and they are included in that list

<SiFuh>
Hahahahahahaha, I am so strict about eating in vehicles that when the niece started to eat some noodles in my truck, the wife turned and saw it and told her off. It was so funny because the food was on the fork, her mouth was open. The for was hovering in her mouth. She put the food and fork back down and sealed the container. I was laughing so much.
<SiFuh>
Must be a Taxi Driver thing đ
<SiFuh>
Also, I can't understand why anyone would put a fork into their mouth when you are driving an Off-Road vehicle.
<remiliascarlet>
Never seen someone eating noodles with a fork before.
<SiFuh>
remiliascarlet: Why would anyone use Hashi when a fork is superior?
<SiFuh>
I use Hashi for many things. I like Hashi. But when it comes to noodles. Forks are the god and Hashi are just sticks now.
<SiFuh>
įŽ¸ Hehe, I was right. I didn't want to sound stupid by spelling it wrong.
<remiliascarlet>
I actually prefer hashi, since I'm so used to them.
<SiFuh>
I was trained by Japanese ;-)
<SiFuh>
In fact, if you ever come here and watch the Ching Chongs eat you will notice, my style is Japanese and theirs is dumb ass
<SiFuh>
I remember her aunt asked me "Can you use chopsticks?" I gave then a strange look and asked "Can you?" and my wife laughed and said "Japanese trained, can use them like a ninja"
<SiFuh>
remiliascarlet: As I said. I like Hashi. But for noodles. Forks reign supreme.
<SiFuh>
By the way. I fucking hate forks. I prefer spoons. But for noodles it is a fork thing.
<SiFuh>
I tend to eat more like Thais. I use the fork to push and cut the food into a spoon and use the spoon to eat it.
<SiFuh>
I ate at a Japanese restaurant the other day. Hashi and a Western spoon. No way will I use that stupid thing when I have an actual spoon that fits in my mouth.
<remiliascarlet>
Bare hands is the best, but you'll get dirty real quick.
<remiliascarlet>
Actually be happy you got that kind of spoon. Here they will serve you plastic ones.
<SiFuh>
I meant to but dlcusa was talking and farkuhar arrived. But I did actually reply partly
<remiliascarlet>
The meme was made to mock those stupid comments.
<SiFuh>
[21 36 31] [SiFuh> remiliascarlet: Those people are morons. Governments should have nothing to do with health or safety. It should be the people that are responsible for it.
<SiFuh>
Governments are rather young. I don't see a purpose for them ever existing.
<remiliascarlet>
Governments are young, but run by elderly.
<SiFuh>
Hehehe
<SiFuh>
That is why Trump should have Vivek as VP
<SiFuh>
Trump needs to think if he does get in (Which I doubt) that he needs to pave the way for a new party of Republicans
<remiliascarlet>
Will perhaps happen when Vivek turns 90 years old.
<SiFuh>
Kary Lake, Marjorie Greene will also be nice VPs
<remiliascarlet>
Because apparently, politicians thend to live very long. After all, Biden even said he got in the senate 180 years ago. Or 184 years ago by now.
<SiFuh>
I don't think the Demon-Craps will let the Republicans back in. They will find a way to cancel the elections or a new way to steal it. Maybe even assassinations.
<SiFuh>
Bidet is a fucking criminal. The lecherous, cunt of a being has been stealing and lying since the day he popped out the vagina.
<SiFuh>
Ever listen to the speeches. Always hate and racism and anti American shit. Dude insults Trump like they are in fucking primary school
<SiFuh>
I'd like to see Biden and his Secret Service and Trump and his Secret Service have a death match.
<SiFuh>
School yard brawl!
<SiFuh>
Fuck debates. Have a fight to the death contest!
<SiFuh>
In fact imagine if all politicians had to fight physically to get into power. That would be fucking awesome and everyone would love politicin'
<SiFuh>
Pelosi vs Gates!!!!!!!!!
<SiFuh>
Hahahaha
<SiFuh>
remiliascarlet: Not Bill Gates. I mean Matt Gates
<remiliascarlet>
Bill GAYtes.
<remiliascarlet>
He's gayer than a knife.
<SiFuh>
A knife is gay?
<remiliascarlet>
