SiFuh: I'm pretty surprised by how good the Twitter account of a senator is: https://xcancel.com/MRobertsQLD
<remiliascarlet>
Well, apart of that Qanon quote Tweet from 10 hours ago.
<SiFuh>
remiliascarlet: He's anti injection, anti lockdown, and hates the current governmental system.
<remiliascarlet>
A wolf saying to a mass of sheep "once elected, I will be vegetarian!!", very accurate depiction of every single politician.
<remiliascarlet>
"I promise I will lower taxes", said every single politician ever, while being on their way raising taxes.
<SiFuh>
Didn't Trump lower taxes?
<remiliascarlet>
Can't remember that part. But I can remember his push to ban plastic straws.
<SiFuh>
Didn't Trump evem reject getting the presidential salary?
<remiliascarlet>
Which is funny, because now those "paper" straws are still plastic, but just have a paper coating.
<SiFuh>
remiliascarlet: Plastic straws should be banned because the populace are inconsiderate litters
<remiliascarlet>
The only alternative to plastic straws is to drink directly from the cup.
<remiliascarlet>
And cups themselves are plastics with paper coatings too, so the best alternative is a mug.
<SiFuh>
Nah
<remiliascarlet>
At least here in Japan, you can get a mug at every coffee place, but you'll have to explicitely ask for it, because by default they'll put the drinks in a so-called "paper" cup.
<SiFuh>
My favorite is I have to pay extra money if I want a plastic bag. "Why?" "Saving the environment" "But look around, every fucking thing here is wrapped in plastic"
<remiliascarlet>
I know, "saving the environment" is a fucking scam.
<SiFuh>
They just want to profit off of plastic bags as zorz would think
<remiliascarlet>
All the paying money for a plastic bag does is it going to the government as taxes.
<SiFuh>
I remember in Australia all plastic bags were replaced with corn-starch bags
<remiliascarlet>
Not sure how much you'd profit if each bag is 3 or 5 yen (depending on the size), which is then 100% taxed anyway.
<SiFuh>
Wonder what happened?
<remiliascarlet>
Well, the government profits, but I mean from a retailer's perspective.
<SiFuh>
remiliascarlet: I really don't care because I still get my plastic bags for free because I am a smooth talker ;-)
<SiFuh>
remiliascarlet: I get free stuff all the time. Because I connect to the people in public.
<remiliascarlet>
What is funny is that if you do grossories shopping online, they'll pack everything in plastic bags, but they won't charge you for it.
<SiFuh>
remiliascarlet: All the labour done on my truck wasn't charged to me. It was free. They only got me to pay for the equipment and the pieces needed. Also I still pay cash so they can write it off the books.
<remiliascarlet>
But not like it really matters, because I only shop once a month for food, and don't need to do more.
<SiFuh>
remiliascarlet: Grocery shopping online?
<SiFuh>
That's horrible.
<SiFuh>
I would never support the NWO
<remiliascarlet>
If I do so, I pay by cash at the front door.
<SiFuh>
I prefer to go to the shop. Then gossip with the staff and establish a friendly relationship.
<remiliascarlet>
Never pay for online groceries by credit or debit card, because if they deliver wrong products or don't deliver certain products at all, you'll end up having to fight with the store in order to get refunded.
<SiFuh>
No
<SiFuh>
You contact the bank directly
<remiliascarlet>
Banks won't do shit.
<SiFuh>
Wanna bet?
<remiliascarlet>
I tried multiple times before already.
<remiliascarlet>
Every single time, they tell me to go talk to the store.
<SiFuh>
Mastercard, Visa, American Express and Diner's club will always refund you for what you didn't purchase.
<remiliascarlet>
Not in Japan.
<SiFuh>
Not that bank
<SiFuh>
The card bank
<remiliascarlet>
Same story.
<SiFuh>
Well, I have won everyone through my wife's banks, my parents, mine
<SiFuh>
Because I know their laws. Their laws are written into the UCC
<SiFuh>
You don't let them push you around.
<remiliascarlet>
Japanese banks and credit card companies are just horrible. No wonder everyone here prefers cash!
<SiFuh>
remiliascarlet: You need to grow big brass balls ;-)
<SiFuh>
I've even purchased stuff that has broken 5 to 10 years later and had it replaced free of charge
<SiFuh>
remiliascarlet: Instead of playing computer games, you should take out some time to learn the system. You will be surprised how much power you actually have
<remiliascarlet>
The biggest irony is that the only place I ever had good experience with refunds is Amazon.
<remiliascarlet>
The kind of store you shouldn't shop at, because it's NWO.
<remiliascarlet>
But you complain about something being broken, they refund you no questions asked.
<SiFuh>
When I was in Kyrgyzstan working. I read their entire labour code. I think 853 clauses. A CRUX user can vouch for me because he worked in the same company as me. After I read it, I confronted the boss and told her the contract she made us sign is 100% illegal under Kyrgyz law. I then pointed out every problem. She asked me to write a new contract. I did. Everyone in the business signed the new
<SiFuh>
contract. Then we all gave our 14 days notice and quit.
<remiliascarlet>
Especially if the seller is Chinese. They're always like "OK, fine, we will refund you, and you can keep the product. But please don't write a negative review!".
<SiFuh>
remiliascarlet: Yeah that is China because positive reviews means good business
<SiFuh>
But I never write the positive review.
<remiliascarlet>
If something is shit, I write a negative review, regardless of what they tell me.
<SiFuh>
I read the entire Transport Department regulations for transport operations in Australia. I did the same here in Malaysia. Now the mechanics call me and ask me if something is legal or not.
<SiFuh>
I take the time to read the political shit. Everyone here knows it.
<SiFuh>
And it is a fact. It is shit. The stuff they legislate against is fucking bullshit.
<SiFuh>
I had rear fender flares installed. I told them the width I need. They asked why so precise. I said I am follwing Australian rules. They said in Malaysia, no rules for this. Last week I talked to them and said that they do have a rule for it because I read about it in their regulations. They were stunned.
<SiFuh>
I can put spot lights on my truck. But it is illegal to put spotlights on my wifes car. WTF?
<remiliascarlet>
I know some bits of the law. During the scamdemic I learned that businesses can't refuse you service for any reason. Occasionally there were employees (not even employers) who outright refuse me service for not wearing a mask, I pointed them out that this is illegal and could even drag them to court over it, they refused to listen.
<SiFuh>
I may near the end of the year install a lightbar (Spotlight) but I don't really use that stuff these days. I can see quite well in the dark.
<remiliascarlet>
Some even genuinely thought that during a scamdemic, the law is nothing more than a piece of toilet paper.
<SiFuh>
The law is nothing but a piece of toilet paper
<SiFuh>
It's all bureaucratic bullshit
<SiFuh>
No value for anyone but those who think they are in power
<remiliascarlet>
You should take advantage of the good parts. Like a no refusal of service over not wearing a mask policy for example.
<SiFuh>
I do
<SiFuh>
Hence reading them all
<remiliascarlet>
Too many brainwashed slaves who think the law is actually legit.
<SiFuh>
Even the lawyer for my wife's company asks my help because the law is fresh in my mind.
<SiFuh>
They have many cases and I have probably written 60% of their documents
<SiFuh>
Fortunately Malaysia has many of the original British Empire laws that were forwarded to the commonwealth nations. So there are a lot of similarites .
<SiFuh>
I don't mine the Malaysia transport rules. It's very slimmed down and to the point. Not like Australia
<SiFuh>
mine/mind

remiliascarlet: I need to make a shoe bag, to hang near the rooftop tent so the shoes will be off the ground away from the nasty critters that take home inside shoes.
<SiFuh>
I might make one that hangs from the ladder
<remiliascarlet>
Humans nowadays can't think, whether when they're confused or not.
<remiliascarlet>
Which reminds me, over a decade ago I was banned from a web forum for not liking hiphop, rap, and R&B music, because somehow the people there linked it to racism.
<remiliascarlet>
Even though white rappers do exist.
<SiFuh>
Probably fluoride
<lavaball>
breakfast peopel, careful.
<SiFuh>
R&B is fucking shit remiliascarlet
<SiFuh>
Hip Hop is good. I like it.
<SiFuh>
Rap... err most is shit
<SiFuh>
And I fucking hate Bob Marley's music
<SiFuh>
R&B is so bullshit it is like rap music for pot smokers because their brains are so damned clubbed and stunted they can't think fast enough.
<remiliascarlet>
Hiphop can be good if done well. But my reasoning at the time wasn't "I hate all black people", it was rather "lyrics are always full of negativity".
<SiFuh>
Fucking put smokers. They are so retarded but think they are cool but don't realise how dumb they are becoming.
<SiFuh>
remiliascarlet: Hip Hop is two words
<remiliascarlet>
Nice fucking put. Those put smokers.
<SiFuh>
remiliascarlet: My favorite Hip Hop bands are not all black. I like Digital Underground, ALT and the Lost Civilization. But there are many black Hip Hop bands I like like Young MC, Bel Biv Davoe, Gangstarr
<remiliascarlet>
SiFuh: Tomorrow I will grill a duck, so I hope I will not forget to save the rendered fat this time. Because I always drink the fat, because it's so delicious!
<SiFuh>
remiliascarlet: I envy you and hunger for your duck
<SiFuh>
remiliascarlet: Save it, because it will go well with any grass fed meat
<remiliascarlet>
Also, is rendered duck fat going to be hard like tallow, or more on the softer side like lard?
<SiFuh>
Don't use it with dirty chicken or pork.
<SiFuh>
remiliascarlet: Same
<remiliascarlet>
Which one?
<SiFuh>
Same as tallow
<remiliascarlet>
I have tallow and lard, so duck fat is a great addition.
<SiFuh>
Also if you drain the liquid out and refrigerator the fat will be on the top
<SiFuh>
Underneath will be duck stock
<SiFuh>
You can use that stock for anything you want.
<SiFuh>
I don't like lard.
<remiliascarlet>
Stock?
<SiFuh>
I prefer duck fat and tallow
<SiFuh>
Yeah, there wil be a gelatinous jelly under the fat. That is stock
<SiFuh>
Use it to flavour your meats when cooking
<remiliascarlet>
Lard at first tastes pretty bad, so I really understand what you mean. But once you're used to it, it can be pretty creamy, and the creamy taste remains for hours in your mouth.
<remiliascarlet>
And no lavaball, I don't mean that type of cream.
<SiFuh>
remiliascarlet: It's horrible. I don't like it and I don't consider it healthy either
<remiliascarlet>
Oh, I thought stock as in remains of meat.
<SiFuh>
Pigs are vaccum cleaners.
<remiliascarlet>
Apparently, lard is a rich source of vitamin D. But other than that, not much.
<SiFuh>
remiliascarlet: Slightly yes. But it is made from whatever your used to cook your meats
<SiFuh>
remiliascarlet: So is the sunshine
<SiFuh>
I will plan to go to the market today in the morning. Because we are out of meat.
<SiFuh>
Seems the wife's dog eats all my meat now.
<remiliascarlet>
I actually walked in the sunshine a lot today while everyone else was trying to avoid it by either going to shadows, or taking their umbrellas out.
<SiFuh>
Me too
<SiFuh>
remiliascarlet: Go black and you will never go back ;-)
<remiliascarlet>
I don't need to become black, I'm fine with the skin color I have.
<SiFuh>
I go between black, brown, freckly and white often
<SiFuh>
HAHAHA
<lavaball>
what?
<lavaball>
what kind of cream?
<lavaball>
waht?
<lavaball>
do i make pervy jokes like that?
<SiFuh>
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream.
<lavaball>
rather tell me how to add an encryption key to my videos to verify them as not ai.
<remiliascarlet>
lavaball: Realistically speaking, I think you just can't. If it's not being used by AI now, it'll be used eventually.
<remiliascarlet>
When the NetBSD guys made a policy to ban AI generated code from being committed to the OS, I asked them how they're planning to verify that. All they said is "we can't verify that, we just assume people won't use AI".
kh1b has joined #crux-social
<lavaball>
remiliascarlet, reading comprehension?
<remiliascarlet>
lavaball: Did your sausa...oh right, it's a vegan... Did your cucumber swing too hard again?
<lavaball>
no, read what i said.
<lavaball>
7:49:50 PM <lavaball> rather tell me how to add an encryption key to my videos to verify them as not ai.
<SiFuh>
HAHAHAH Cucumber
<lavaball>
this has nothing to do with ai replacing me. it's about verifying that the video is from me and not from anybody else.
<lavaball>
seirously.
<lavaball>
that's what i meant earlier with you breakfast people being careful.
<lavaball>
7:15:09 PM <remiliascarlet> Humans nowadays can't think, whether when they're confused or not.
<remiliascarlet>
lavaball: I would rather say "reading comprehension?" to you then.
<remiliascarlet>
At no point I said that AI is going to replace you.
<lavaball>
"if it's not being used by ai now, it'll be used eventually".
<lavaball>
what does that mean?
<SiFuh>
I wish a rock would replace him
<remiliascarlet>
The video you upload for public view.
<lavaball>
yeah, and what is what i wanted?
<SiFuh>
Bitches
<lavaball>
true, also:
<lavaball>
7:49:50 PM <lavaball> rather tell me how to add an encryption key to my videos to verify them as not ai.
<remiliascarlet>
Even if it would somehow mean "AI replacing you", it would mean more like "AI is using me" rather than "AI is using my videos".
<lavaball>
i want to verify that it's not ai. i don't care if the ai steals it.
<lavaball>
i mean what do you think "verify them as not ai" means?
<remiliascarlet>
If AI steals it, it'll be (falsely) identified as AI, even if it's completely original, man-made material.
<lavaball>
but i don't care about that.
<lavaball>
i want it verified as me having uploaded it, not someone else.
<remiliascarlet>
I'd say, if even YouTube can't figure out how to do it properly after 20 years, I doubt it's going to be easy.
<lavaball>
it's very easy actually. you just create a linked list of public and private keys.
<lavaball>
show public at the last frame, private at the first. create a new key pair for every video pair.
<lavaball>
upload to multiple platforms.
<remiliascarlet>
And the platforms all put your videos through ffmpeg, making the encryption keys effectively useless.
<SiFuh>
remiliascarlet: Get to know this 32.5-km out-and-back trail near Kuala Pilah, Negeri Sembilan. Generally considered a challenging route, it takes an average of 10 h 30 min to complete
<lavaball>
remi, you are killing me here.
<lavaball>
i said show public key.
<SiFuh>
remiliascarlet: That's why I didn't invite you to this one.
<lavaball>
as in write it out in the first frame.
<lavaball>
to verify you would have to copy it maunally.
<remiliascarlet>
Oh, you mean like showing the key on screen?
<lavaball>
yes.
<lavaball>
because as you said, compression fucks up signature and hash and all that.
<remiliascarlet>
I thought you wanted to bake it into the video file.
<lavaball>
and of course add the beloved security by obscurity by not telling anyone about the first and last frame or anything about that for that matter.
<lavaball>
but when something fishy happens, i can point at the catalogue and say, the videos are all chained together.
<remiliascarlet>
In that case, verification should be possible.
<lavaball>
so if the keys don't match, it wasn't me.
<lavaball>
question is, how do i make the keys, how do i verify them.
<lavaball>
i mean i could jsut go ssh keygen, but i wouldn't know how to verify them manually.
<remiliascarlet>
I once saw a video where the YouTuber sneaked in a photo of some Indian guy somewhere around the middle of the video for only 1 frame, which you wouldn't notice unless you downloaded the video, opened it up in a video editor, and go frame by frame. One commenter did that and pointed it out.
<remiliascarlet>
All of the sudden, everyone started downloading that video, and checking in their video editor.
<lavaball>
you don't have to download it. youtube has frame by frame motion. just press . and ,
<remiliascarlet>
lavaball: Since you're on OpenBSD anyway, how about signify?
<remiliascarlet>
`man 1 signify`
<lavaball>
remember, i'm a dumby dumb when it comes to that stuff. i don't know how that works ...
<lavaball>
and here i was you would explain it.
<lavaball>
fun fact, i read man 5 pf.conf twice. just to make sure it's really shit.
<lavaball>
and by read i mean top to bottom.
<remiliascarlet>
Signify is basically a stripped down OpenPGP implementation only for signing.
<lavaball>
you don't really think i know how openpgp works, do you?
