<kris_> a
<Guest88> anyone got experience chmod into alpine to grab java?
<midfavila> b
<midfavila> hi kris_
<midfavila> :3c
<kris_> hi midfavila
<kris_> been playing with my t480 all day
<kris_> its a pretty solid laptop
<midfavila> ooo
<midfavila> grats
<midfavila> i have been uh
<midfavila> playing with my new dishes
<kris_> based
<midfavila> honestly theyre super nice
<midfavila> enamel ones
<midfavila> full set of basically everything you would ever need for like 400CAD
<midfavila> i'll never need to buy more unless i'm getting something obscure = w=
<kris_> I am going to eat them
<midfavila> enjoy the taste of glass
<midfavila> put kiss on the thonkpad
<kris_> eating glass is a national pastime
<kris_> nah its for school so I'd really rather not lmao
<kris_> void glibc on it
<kris_> lame ik
<kris_> batteries for this thing are getting kinda hard to find
<midfavila> back in MY DAY we used kiss for college
<midfavila> also yeah that's why i stopped buying thinkpads
<midfavila> they suck now and also they're expensive because reddit and also it's not even easy to get parts any more
<kris_> I mean, I got a few things
<kris_> the t480 is just hot news rn because of libreboot support
<midfavila> yeah but in a year from now?
<midfavila> two?
<midfavila> five?
<kris_> who knows
<kris_> it was cheaper to buy this and two spare batteries now compared to some physically worse laptop for the same price
<midfavila> should have gotten a reform smdh
<midfavila> s m d h
<kris_> 150 USD for the t480 and 70usd on batts
* midfavila grumbles
<kris_> 8350u model, 32gb of ram, 1080p IPS display, upgraded dual heat pipe cooler
<kris_> 500gb sn750 ssd
<kris_> 70 USD got me a theoretically brand new OEM internal 24wh batt and 72wh external
<midfavila> yes but consider
<midfavila> >2000usd
<midfavila> >4gb of ram
<midfavila> >16gb emmc
<midfavila> i think that's a compelling deal
<kris_> my ass has less than what I spent on this in my bank account rn so I think I did good
<kris_> and yeah the reform is ridiculously priced
<midfavila> ye fair
<midfavila> also yes
<midfavila> it is
<midfavila> i won't lie and say it isn't a luxury purchase lol
<kris_> and its not powerful enough to be useful for me
<kris_> but yeah theoretically once my batteries get here I'll have like easily 12hrs of battery life
<midfavila> also fair
<midfavila> that's not bad at all!
<midfavila> my previous laptop sometimes got up to 27
<kris_> I already get 6 or so and the internal 24wh is fried
<midfavila> was a toughbook
<kris_> the external 24wh is brand new tho
<kris_> 27 is nuts
<midfavila> yeah
<midfavila> i underclocked the cpu to 800mhz and basically only used text mode :v
<kris_> oh also this thing has an ax200 in it which makes it the best WiFi I've used in a laptop
<kris_> pulling 800mbps down off of my AP
<midfavila> mfw that's 200x faster than my ap total
<midfavila> i'm glad it works well for you though
<kris_> I kinda went a little stupid with my home net upgrades
<midfavila> nothing wrong with that :P
<midfavila> brb gotta get ready for bed
<kris_> only because my father is a goober and won't update from windows 7 :p
<midfavila> i gotta work tomorrow ughhhhhh
<kris_> that blows but I'm also jealous
<midfavila> my boss is trying to get me to interview my coworker's possible replacement
<midfavila> and i really don't want to because i enjoy working with him
<kris_> oh
<kris_> that actually sucks
<kris_> why is he being replaced
<midfavila> because he's been slacking off a lot lately and hasn't improved much in the past year or so according to the boss
<midfavila> i don't go to the job site so idk how true that is
<midfavila> but after speaking with my coworker it seems plausible
<midfavila> he's such a shithead though
<midfavila> he keeps trying to do this stoic tough guy act
<midfavila> even though things are clearly bothering him and he sucks at it
<midfavila> i wish he would just open up a little :\
<kris_> I don't get people who constantly act calm
<kris_> and like, collected and shit
<midfavila> something something patriarchy something something
<kris_> idk I only notice it with men
<kris_> yeah
<midfavila> yes that's my point
<midfavila> patriarchal norms fuck over men too lol
<midfavila> just in a different way
<kris_> my message got way too delayed there
<midfavila> oh
<midfavila> fair
<kris_> and yeah it absolutely does
<midfavila> >muh 800 megabits
<kris_> >muh vps on the other side of the planet hosting my bouncer
<kris_> because I don't want stuff on US soil
<midfavila> >muh muh
<kris_> fr
<midfavila> but yeah it's not even like he's a quiet guy he's just absolutely bottling shit up
<midfavila> when he has to hang around the office he'll follow me around like a little puppy and tell me all about his bibeo bames
<midfavila> for like hours
<kris_> idk this "death of masculinity" shit everyone's complaining about seems like a positive to mw
<midfavila> it absolutely is
<kris_> s/me/me
<midfavila> smeme
<kris_> MW/me
<kris_> fucking phone keyboard
<midfavila> lol imagine phoneposting
<midfavila> :3c
<kris_> and yeah idk I guess all you can do is make sure he knows he can chat if he wants
<midfavila> mmhr
<midfavila> i just wish the boss would cut him some slack
<midfavila> at least until shit gets figured out
<midfavila> it's also bullshit to expect anyone to bust their ass working full time when they make barely above minimum wage and don't have any benefits >.>;
<midfavila> shit it's barely enough to convince me to show up and my job is easy as hell
<kris_> it is but I feel like we're at the point where you have to bust your ass to have the privilege of having a job at all
<kris_> which fucking sucks because it's degrading as hell
<midfavila> he has to go out of town every other week and do construction work
<kris_> idk capitalism just fucking sucks
<midfavila> and yet we get paid the same
<kris_> etc
<kris_> I just wonder at what point shit is going to start improving
<midfavila> yeah
<kris_> assuming it ever does
<midfavila> it'll start improving when luigi pulls off a shadow clone jutsu
<kris_> oh how I desire that
<midfavila> note to CSIS and the CIA, i would never endorse illegal activity
<kris_> I haven't actually met anyone who isn't a fan of luigi
<midfavila> that being said luigi is a hero of the people
<midfavila> and also fuck brian thompson's entire lineage past and present
<kris_> re: fan of luigi, I bet they do exist
<midfavila> hope he rots in hell
<kris_> idk to be that rich whatsoever immediately makes you a shitter to me
<midfavila> i'm just so tired of seeing more and more people literally falling apart on the street every day while knowing that there are people who can just
<midfavila> snap their fingers and eradicate world hunger
<midfavila> and yet they don't
<kris_> I just fail to see how you could do something like that and not
<midfavila> go ask elon
<kris_> like that part doesn't click for me
<kris_> like you could improve life globally and don't
<midfavila> he said he would if someone showed him what to do and then someone did and he mysteriously disappeared
<midfavila> dude doesn't have 6b USD to end world hunger but he has 44b for twitter
<kris_> I guess he wouldn't be the richest man in the world anymore if his money was suddenly redistributed lol
<kris_> but 6b is such a joke
<midfavila> i hope every single swasticar accelerates itself and its owner directly into a wall and explodes
<midfavila> dude i was at this rally at the local tesla and the guy who originally organised it was such a fucking loser
<midfavila> he was libbing it up the entire time
<kris_> man I just kinda feel bad for the people who bought teslas before it was blatant how much of a POS elon is
<kris_> and yeah I fucking bet
<midfavila> "we love tesla elon has done a lot of good this is actually just about him threatening canada and actually all of this is apolitical"
<midfavila> like no shut the fuck up you actual moron
<kris_> wait until eventually people find out that there is nothing that *isn't* apolitical
<midfavila> teslas are known for, again, accelerating into the nearest wall, bursting into flames, and locking their occupants inside to burn to death
<kris_> that is*
<kris_> benadryl kicking my ass
<midfavila> nothing is political
<kris_> everything is modern day
<kris_> even the existence of people
<kris_> like trans friends just trying to exist as they are and somehow that's political
<midfavila> but yeah that guy makes me so mad to think about him
<midfavila> also
<midfavila> side note
<midfavila> elon has always been an outed piece of shit
<midfavila> for decades
<midfavila> mfer literally comes from apartheid blood money
<kris_> I'd never know honestly something has to he pretty major for me to hear about it given no socials
<kris_> which is kind of a bad thing in a sense
<kris_> I occasionally get news from like mastodon
<midfavila> in a system where you're told to vote with your dollar i consider researching a company before buying from it to be essential
<kris_> yeah absolutely
<midfavila> i would never vote for a party without knowing their platform
<midfavila> i would never buy a product if i didn't know what my money was supporting
<midfavila> unfortunately there are sometimes contradictions
<midfavila> but those are getting worked out
<midfavila> ofc this is where people go "ackchooully there's no ethical consumption" and like no shit
<midfavila> but there's a difference between buying, idk, a blanket from a local mom-and-pop shop and a blanket from the fucking hudson's bay company
<midfavila> >people just trying to make a living for themselves and their family
<kris_> nah absolutely and I treat software choices the same way tbh
<midfavila> >company that is literally responsible for the colonisation of the northern half of the americas
<kris_> like I was saying the other day about only running things that I actually like the devs of
<kris_> which is part of why I'm such a void shill
<midfavila> mmhr, fair
<kris_> like hyprland for example lmfao
<kris_> I'm gonna be honest, I'm a bit of an asshole, but I somewhat judge people for using that wm
<midfavila> idk the choices people make reveal their priorities
<midfavila> judging someone for their priorities is fine
<midfavila> i'm totally fine saying that on record
<midfavila> it's different under coercion ofc
<kris_> idk its not that, the lead developer of hyprland is just such a notorious dickbag that I can't believe people will even run it without auditing the code
<kris_> of course actually auditing the code is bound to kill you
<midfavila> well, that's also fair
<kris_> like he's a notorious transphobe that has enabled harassment of trans people
<kris_> and then doxxed a redhat employee who was just telling him to control his community
<kris_> due to behavior like that
<midfavila> classic
<kris_> so tldr he got banned from freedesktop
<kris_> deserved as fuck but yeah
<midfavila> that sort of behaviour on the part of some suckless contributors is part of why i'm chipping away at replacing all of their stuff that i use
<kris_> yeah I don't use suckless software
<Guest88> river wm, love it alot worth giving a go
<kris_> less due to that and more due to like, suckless, look inside, >sucks
<midfavila> yeah
<midfavila> suckless is...
<midfavila> eh
<kris_> its easily auditable at least though
<kris_> sbase isn't the worst thing I've sewn
<kris_> FUCK
<kris_> seen
<midfavila> i guess my definition of easily auditable is difference
<midfavila> different
* midfavila facedesks
<midfavila> you're influencing me
<kris_> river is alright
<midfavila> but idk every time i've looked inside suckless' stuff it's a mess
<kris_> I'm a sway fanatic though
<midfavila> then again most C i've looked at is formatted like shit
<kris_> I'd say the cleanest C I've seen is busybox funnily enough
<midfavila> K&R style is absolutely incorrect and i will fistfight anyone who tries to say otherwise
<kris_> I haven't audited the whole thing but out of what I have its good
<kris_> in the linux realm anyway
<kris_> openbsd utils are on another level
<kris_> if only their package manager wasn't ass
<kris_> absolutely adore the rest of the system
<midfavila> change my mind
<kris_> that's ass
<midfavila> it's excellent
* midfavila turns his nose up at you
<kris_> you'd kill me if you read any of my code
<midfavila> do you use the preprocessor for anything other than #include
<kris_> I follow a mentality of less lines more better under all circumstances
<kris_> I'm not a C Dev
<midfavila> o
<midfavila> fair
<kris_> I stick to golang and shell
<midfavila> the less lines thing is silly tho
<kris_> occasionally perl
<kris_> its easier for me to process mentally with less lines, idk why
<kris_> like I refuse to use ifs in shell unless there's a real valid reason for it
<kris_> just so there's no fi
<midfavila> i'm of the opinion that whatever's conceptually simplest is the best by default unless you can actually justify a more complex approach
<kris_> you're probably right but the less that I'm looking at the better
<midfavila> there's a lot of "minimal" stuff that achieves the fewest lines possible through bullshit wizardry
<kris_> exaggerated by dyslexia
<midfavila> that's fair
<midfavila> i'm reminded of uhhhh
<midfavila> hurl(1)
<midfavila> "minimal" alternative to curl
<midfavila> using bearssl
<midfavila> and C
<kris_> the amount of shit I've caught for my fdisk logic
<kris_> but its so clean
<midfavila> it's around the same size as my apport(1) which also uses C and bearssl (or i guess libtls to be more accurate) but hurl is one file and rolls a lot of complex stuff by scratch
<midfavila> in particular a parser for URIs that's insane
<kris_> isn't bearssl kinda dying
<kris_> and I haven't heard of hurl
<midfavila> i don't think so
<kris_> I didn't know curl wasn't minimal enough lol
<midfavila> curl is an abomination
<midfavila> literally hundreds of thousands of lines
<kris_> god I shouldn't
<kris_> like
<midfavila> afaik still demands openssl-compatible libraries too
<midfavila> it might be able to use boring or gnu but
<midfavila> ehh
<kris_> the moment I look at code for something like that I get pissed off and bounce to something else and progressively make my system more annoying to use
<midfavila> but yeah hurl(1) rolled its own parser for URIs
<midfavila> and like
<kris_> albeit sometimes it works in my favor
<midfavila> if you look at the RFCs there's literally a regex that you can just dump into posix's regex function
<kris_> like dracut is some SHIT so I went to check out other gens and landed on tinyramfs which is like the greatest thing ever for that part of the system imo
<midfavila> to match every possible URI
<kris_> which is how I ended up here
<kris_> what SSL lib do you actually use
<midfavila> even if the posix regex functions are slower than a handrolled parser, literally who cares
<kris_> mostly
<midfavila> on my own distro? bear
<kris_> its a shame that void dropped libressl
<kris_> used to be the default but then patching became too much effort
<midfavila> if i had to use any big-name software then i would need libre
<midfavila> but the only software i use that relies on openssl compat is links2
<midfavila> and at some point i'm just going to patch it to use libtls as an option
<kris_> OH, BTW, new xz vuln just dropped, I'd update if you use it at all
<midfavila> i don't
<midfavila> :^)
<midfavila> reminds me of something else i need to put on my list
<midfavila> it'd be neat to have a super minimal frontend to zlib to use for decompression and compression
<midfavila> i really hate having to keep like five different compressors around
* kris_ uses the shit out of xz
<kris_> I do too
<midfavila> i get that there's different usecases but again i really don't care
<midfavila> if it takes an extra two seconds to download or decompress or whatever, meh
<midfavila> i'm not going to die
<kris_> idk I use xz, lz4, and gzip
<kris_> lz4 is for RAM compression
<midfavila> i understand for large, like, huge, enormous, gigantic, extra thick, double-stuffed packages
<midfavila> but meh
<midfavila> most stuff isn't that big
<kris_> oh and zstd, all xbps packages are compressed with zstd
<kris_> forgot about that
<midfavila> i'm hoping to get to a point where i only rely on zlib and compress
<midfavila> gzip and similar would only be needed on a build machine
<kris_> honestly love gzip
<kris_> I've not found many cases where zstd was faster for the same compression ratio
<kris_> zstd is good for RAM compression though
<kris_> but I just use lz4
<kris_> my sleepy meds have hit so I'm going to be headed out shortly
<midfavila> same tbh
<midfavila> i go to sleep around 0000 and its 2330
<midfavila> ish
<kris_> my sleep schedule varies depending on how loud my family is being lol
<kris_> usually they're up until like 2am
<kris_> 12:41am for me at the moment
<kris_> anyway yeah, gn
<midfavila> nini

<farkuhar> kris_: As an occasional user of Perl, have you ever considered submitting patches to the OpenBSD package manager (to fix whatever behaviour you consider "ass")? The OpenBSD users I know are always saying only good things about its package manager, so I'm curious what you find annoying about it.

midfavila has joined #kisslinux
fultilt has joined #kisslinux
<sewn> i find it interesting ive used kiss for the entirety of 2023
<sad_plan> you shouldve used it for the entierity of 2024 aswell
<sewn> well only for half of 2024
<sewn> onwards i had used alpine
<sad_plan> you couldve just used a chroot instead, and stayed loyal to kiss :C
<sad_plan> or flatpak or w/e else solution worked
<sewn> I couldn't have stayed loyal to kiss
<sewn> my PC was melting rmember
aesdef has quit [Quit: No Ping reply in 180 seconds.]
aesdef has joined #kisslinux
<sad_plan> you couldve still remained loyal, but not installing alpine. duh
<sad_plan> even if your pc melted
