[2025-02-07T01:27:32Z] <midfavila> fwah
[2025-02-07T01:28:40Z] <midfavila> i have to read about microshit for the rest of the month
[2025-02-07T01:28:43Z] <midfavila> shoot me now
[2025-02-07T01:29:10Z] <midfavila> going to sit my second a+ exam later this month
[2025-02-07T03:18:22Z] <kris_> midfavila you doing it at home or at a testing center of some sort?
[2025-02-07T03:31:46Z] <midfavila> testing centre
[2025-02-07T03:32:02Z] <midfavila> >implying their proctoring malware would run on my computers
[2025-02-07T03:32:08Z] <midfavila> >implying i own a microphone or camera
[2025-02-07T03:32:38Z] <midfavila> i already have my 1101 which i wasn't super concerned about since that's just hardware
[2025-02-07T03:33:15Z] <midfavila> the only thing i had major issues with was memorising the fifty bajillion variants of USB there are now, but i also just dont care about the specific bandiwdth of usb 4 2x1 gen 3.3 or whatever lol
[2025-02-07T03:33:51Z] <midfavila> the real problem is the 1102 bc i haven't used windows in a major capacity since like tenth grade in high school 
[2025-02-07T03:35:19Z] <kris_> >>implying their proctoring malware would run on my computers
[2025-02-07T03:35:26Z] <kris_> that's why i'm asking, that stopped me from taking the A+
[2025-02-07T03:35:31Z] <midfavila> yeah fair
[2025-02-07T03:35:41Z] <kris_> it costs too much money for me to want to attempt to run it in a VM
[2025-02-07T03:35:46Z] <midfavila> i wanted to take it when i was in NB but there were no testing centres in my city 
[2025-02-07T03:36:03Z] <midfavila> fortunately i am now approximately 600 metres from a testing centre
[2025-02-07T03:36:38Z] <kris_> i figure im going to just have to set up a dedicated garbage PC to run windows and proctoring software on and put it on a different network
[2025-02-07T03:36:45Z] <midfavila> altho considering my home internet connection is only 5/5 i doubt it would be sufficient for proctoring anyway
[2025-02-07T03:36:55Z] <kris_> i may be mildly insane but i dont trust windows enough to be on the same network as my actual machines, let alone that bullshit they make you install
[2025-02-07T03:36:59Z] <midfavila> kris_ yeah just subnet it and stick a firewall between it and the rest of things 
[2025-02-07T03:37:04Z] <kris_> yerp
[2025-02-07T03:37:07Z] <midfavila> merp
[2025-02-07T03:37:08Z] <midfavila> :3c
[2025-02-07T03:37:15Z] <kris_> >:3
[2025-02-07T03:37:22Z] <midfavila> just computer autism things 
[2025-02-07T03:37:25Z] <kris_> it's up to your imagination if that's an > or eyebrows
[2025-02-07T03:37:31Z] <midfavila> both
[2025-02-07T03:37:33Z] <midfavila> unibrow
[2025-02-07T03:37:40Z] <kris_> hexabrow
[2025-02-07T03:37:46Z] <midfavila> wack
[2025-02-07T03:38:05Z] <midfavila> i should try and get a job admining plan 9
[2025-02-07T03:38:10Z] <midfavila> that would be so gomfy
[2025-02-07T03:38:22Z] <midfavila> i doubt anyone actually uses it any more tho
[2025-02-07T03:38:26Z] <midfavila> i know alcatel did for a while
[2025-02-07T03:39:43Z] <kris_> there may be a strat there
[2025-02-07T03:39:55Z] <kris_> linux admins are aplenty, bsd admins less so, plan 9 admins don't exist
[2025-02-07T03:40:03Z] <midfavila> i wonder why
[2025-02-07T03:40:05Z] * midfavila thoinks
[2025-02-07T03:40:12Z] <kris_> ive been considering getting deeper into fortran and cobol
[2025-02-07T03:40:20Z] <kris_> ive seen multiple jobs that pay stupid amounts of money for fortran devs
[2025-02-07T03:40:20Z] <midfavila> honestly if you can do cobol go for it
[2025-02-07T03:40:24Z] <midfavila> infinite job security 
[2025-02-07T03:40:34Z] <kris_> fortran was one of my first "real" languages
[2025-02-07T03:40:40Z] <midfavila> the only people who know cobol are sitting in like, old age homes these days
[2025-02-07T03:40:40Z] <kris_> toyed with it before C
[2025-02-07T03:40:50Z] <midfavila> i saw IBM was offering free lessons in cobol and fortran a while back
[2025-02-07T03:40:54Z] <midfavila> same with z/OS 
[2025-02-07T03:40:54Z] <kris_> oh i dont know the first thing about cobol but it can be learned
[2025-02-07T03:41:25Z] <midfavila> ive honestly given up on getting a job programming 
[2025-02-07T03:41:44Z] <midfavila> i have negative interest in the web and it's basically impossible for me to go to university at this point so
[2025-02-07T03:41:47Z] <midfavila> meh
[2025-02-07T03:42:00Z] <midfavila> brb
[2025-02-07T03:42:22Z] <kris_> ive always been more of an admin type so never really wanted to do software dev as a job and yeah i have negative interest in the web as well
[2025-02-07T03:46:35Z] <midfavila> honestly with the way dev has gone the past few years esp i definitely don't want to do it professionally
[2025-02-07T03:46:47Z] <midfavila> the whole "move fast break things" mindset makes me want to puke
[2025-02-07T03:47:14Z] <kris_> yeah, which is partially why i'm so picky about what distros i'll use
[2025-02-07T03:47:38Z] <kris_> but software dev will probably be a dead profession at some point:tm: '
[2025-02-07T03:47:50Z] <kris_> actual physical IT is safe for a while
[2025-02-07T03:48:18Z] <midfavila> honestly ive just accepted that in a few years we'll all be dirt farmers
[2025-02-07T03:48:33Z] <midfavila> drop the bombs already
[2025-02-07T03:48:35Z] <midfavila> get it over with
[2025-02-07T03:48:38Z] <kris_> dylan mighta been onto something then
[2025-02-07T03:48:49Z] <midfavila> dylan is basically computer jesus tbf
[2025-02-07T13:31:08Z] <sad_plan> kris_: using any other dns would solve this in any case. luckiy my goverent doesnt really do anything about torrenting, so I dont strictly need a vpn for this
[2025-02-07T13:35:57Z] <sad_plan> midfavila: in a few years, only the rich would afford housing. the rest of us would be homeless and jobless, living in a ditch someplace fighting for scraps :p
[2025-02-07T13:39:20Z] <sad_plan> and computer jesus Dylan's farm would be raided eventually. even his POSIX sh famring scripts cant save him from the devestation
[2025-02-07T17:30:19Z] <riteo> wassup kissers
[2025-02-07T17:30:26Z] <riteo> as you can tell this will be a rocky month
[2025-02-07T17:39:23Z] <riteo> quite a few things to do and I'll need to power off my bouncer for a good amount of time
[2025-02-07T17:46:36Z] <riteo> also sorry kris_ for missing your "wby"
[2025-02-07T17:46:46Z] <riteo> sorry I meant "wbu"
[2025-02-07T19:26:01Z] <kris_> sad_plan yeah its no big deal
[2025-02-07T19:26:05Z] <kris_> riteo all good
[2025-02-07T19:29:48Z] <sewn> install(1) is not posix compliant..
[2025-02-07T19:30:01Z] <sewn> i finally reached into an issue with a bsd user where i use install -t flag which is not present in freebsd install
[2025-02-07T19:30:05Z] <sewn> time to resort to regular cp/mv/rm ...
[2025-02-07T19:31:06Z] <sewn> ... or add a / to the end of the destination directory as an alternative to -t :3
[2025-02-07T19:56:53Z] <sad_plan> sewn: this is old news really. dylan complained about this long time ago aswell. so we have to use chmod cp/mv instead when installing
[2025-02-07T20:06:43Z] <sewn> so bad
[2025-02-07T20:12:38Z] <sewn> also apparently the -t workaround doesnt work either
[2025-02-07T20:14:13Z] <sad_plan> just dont use install(1) and youre all good C:
[2025-02-07T20:15:11Z] <aosync> install(1) is a bit confusing
[2025-02-07T20:40:51Z] <sad_plan> aosync: theres nothing confusing about install(1), just dont use it :p
[2025-02-07T20:41:42Z] <sad_plan> hm, sewn sbase install mentions its a mix of gnu's and freebsd. curious
[2025-02-07T20:42:22Z] <sewn> I just ranted for half an hour about how terrible freebsd and POSIX make is
[2025-02-07T20:45:03Z] <sad_plan> funny :p
[2025-02-07T21:16:29Z] <kris_> ranting for half an hour over make is pretty based
