[2025-11-14T00:14:15Z] <kris_> darling in the franxx
[2025-11-14T00:15:33Z] <evahasarrived> ?
[2025-11-14T00:15:55Z] <kris_> the whole arc with the klaxosaurs being an underground species
[2025-11-14T00:16:00Z] <kris_> dont worry about it
[2025-11-14T00:16:23Z] <evahasarrived> With humanity on the brink of extinction, children become pilots of the robots, Franxx, to take on the klaxosaurs.
[2025-11-14T00:16:33Z] <midfavila> i'm just australian
[2025-11-14T00:16:34Z] <evahasarrived> i'm in a very fictional period of my life
[2025-11-14T00:16:39Z] <midfavila> didnt you know australians live underground
[2025-11-14T00:16:53Z] <midfavila> in towns with names like "white man in hole"
[2025-11-14T00:16:56Z] <midfavila> its true
[2025-11-14T00:17:12Z] <midfavila> look it up
[2025-11-14T00:17:27Z] <kris_> evahasarrived: have you not seen darling in the franxx
[2025-11-14T00:17:33Z] <kris_> midfavila: 
[2025-11-14T00:17:35Z] <kris_> you too
[2025-11-14T00:17:45Z] <midfavila> i don't watch or read fiction generally
[2025-11-14T00:17:47Z] <kris_> actually maybe dont watch it the first 4 episodes or something are ungodly difficult to get through
[2025-11-14T00:17:48Z] <evahasarrived> ive never watched anime
[2025-11-14T00:17:49Z] <kris_> it's just too cringe
[2025-11-14T00:17:52Z] <kris_> but then it hits
[2025-11-14T00:18:42Z] <kris_> i havent seen that many animes
[2025-11-14T00:18:46Z] <kris_> maybe like 20
[2025-11-14T00:18:49Z] <kris_> thereabouts
[2025-11-14T00:18:56Z] <midfavila> casual
[2025-11-14T00:18:58Z] <evahasarrived> ive seen like
[2025-11-14T00:19:10Z] <evahasarrived> the start of lain through shorts on youtube
[2025-11-14T00:19:37Z] <kris_> ive also seen only the start of lain because i kinda stopped caring after the first 2 episodes
[2025-11-14T00:19:49Z] <evahasarrived> sewn

[2025-11-14T00:19:58Z] <kris_> wait
[2025-11-14T00:19:59Z] <kris_> YES
[2025-11-14T00:20:02Z] <kris_> sewn agrees with me here i think
[2025-11-14T03:01:27Z] <kris_> DetourNetworkUK: is microwaving water for tea acceptable in your opinion
[2025-11-14T03:15:07Z] <evahasarrived> 00:20 <kris_> sewn agrees with me here i think
[2025-11-14T03:15:10Z] <evahasarrived> i can see that ya
[2025-11-14T03:17:55Z] <kris_> what are you implying eva
[2025-11-14T07:18:12Z] <kris_> mid is gonna be so disappointed in me

[2025-11-14T09:08:45Z] <kris_> midfavila: ive been playing counterstrike today
[2025-11-14T09:09:10Z] <kris_> after taking an unbelievably long break i come back and i'm performing much better than before
[2025-11-14T09:09:19Z] <kris_> turns out not playing for 6 hours a day actually results in better performance
[2025-11-14T09:09:22Z] <kris_> who'da thought
[2025-11-14T09:09:29Z] <kris_> (/s)
[2025-11-14T09:16:50Z] <sewn> smh without me
[2025-11-14T15:55:59Z] <midfavila> gm computerfrens
[2025-11-14T15:56:02Z] <midfavila> gm eva
[2025-11-14T15:56:06Z] <midfavila> i know you're reading the logs
[2025-11-14T15:58:27Z] <sad_plan> hello mid
[2025-11-14T16:02:59Z] <midfavila> :3
[2025-11-14T17:28:26Z] <sad_plan> this is so true.. https://files.mastodon.social/cache/media_attachments/files/115/543/943/798/694/765/original/7b728f737b2f857e.jpg
[2025-11-14T17:55:34Z] <midfavila> maybe you're tired of peas because you're boiling the fuckin nutrients away janet
[2025-11-14T17:55:38Z] <midfavila> you should steam them
[2025-11-14T17:55:39Z] <midfavila> dummy
[2025-11-14T17:55:51Z] <midfavila> smdh
[2025-11-14T17:58:56Z] <sad_plan> lol. or just dont buy peas, because I dont like them. but thats just me I suppose
[2025-11-14T17:59:31Z] <sad_plan> however, if I dont get AI peas, I probably end up with AI rice instead :')
[2025-11-14T18:02:16Z] <midfavila> wtf is wrong with you
[2025-11-14T18:02:19Z] <midfavila> peas are life
[2025-11-14T18:02:44Z] <midfavila> peas and onion gravy with carrots and potatoes...
[2025-11-14T18:03:38Z] <midfavila> that reminds me, i need to buy another bag of rice
[2025-11-14T18:03:49Z] <midfavila> i've almost finished off the 50lb bag i bought earlier this year
[2025-11-14T18:08:45Z] <sad_plan> im picky, thats all
[2025-11-14T18:26:49Z] <midfavila> speaking of picky
[2025-11-14T18:26:56Z] <midfavila> sad_plan: have you seen that new steam hardware launch
[2025-11-14T18:27:08Z] <midfavila> valve is putting out a SFF box
[2025-11-14T18:27:18Z] <midfavila> depending on the price and if it's decent or not i might get one
[2025-11-14T18:28:57Z] <midfavila> stick it headless under my desk and stream games over my LAN from the steam machine to my desktop 
[2025-11-14T18:30:22Z] <midfavila> the real interesting thing will be if they make it at a lower cost than a custom build and if there'll be hoops involved or if steamos is just going to be regular old linux
[2025-11-14T18:30:40Z] <midfavila> if the latter, then it'll be easy to hack together some shit and set it up for VR
[2025-11-14T18:30:55Z] <midfavila> found a project for a DIY VR rig using old ps move cameras lmfao
[2025-11-14T18:31:49Z] <midfavila> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0L4K4-wwDXM
[2025-11-14T18:31:55Z] <midfavila> demo from a few years ago
[2025-11-14T18:36:03Z] <midfavila> i reckon if you combined that with slimevr body trackers you could have a real decent little setup for around 500-600USD
[2025-11-14T18:36:17Z] <midfavila> bro i'm literally just like hiro protagonist holy shit >:OOOOO
[2025-11-14T18:36:31Z] <midfavila> now i just need to move into a self storage unit
[2025-11-14T18:43:29Z] <midfavila> or like uhhh
[2025-11-14T18:43:31Z] <midfavila> that guy from lain
[2025-11-14T18:45:37Z] <midfavila> https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=_W2gHtRaMXw
[2025-11-14T18:45:40Z] <midfavila> literally me frfr
[2025-11-14T18:46:05Z] <midfavila> reminds me of the gargoyles from snow crash
[2025-11-14T18:53:20Z] <midfavila> oh yo what the fuck valve made an e-ink stats panel for the gabecube
[2025-11-14T18:53:21Z] <midfavila> that's awesome
[2025-11-14T18:53:33Z] <midfavila> 2026 is looking like it might make up for 2025
[2025-11-14T18:54:15Z] <midfavila> if you could set up a small display integrated into the machine for testing and monitoring purposes that would be sweet
[2025-11-14T18:57:44Z] <esotericwarfare> cfor i in $(pgrep fal
[2025-11-14T18:57:57Z] <esotericwarfare> cfor i in $(pgrep falk
[2025-11-14T18:58:38Z] <midfavila> que?
[2025-11-14T19:00:43Z] <esotericwarfare> lol I'm from the tty running a Qt app with eglfs and it browser froze so I had to kill it without seeing what I was typing
[2025-11-14T19:01:00Z] <esotericwarfare> and the browser*
[2025-11-14T19:01:23Z] <midfavila> rip
[2025-11-14T19:01:24Z] <esotericwarfare> I was running falkon btw
[2025-11-14T19:01:29Z] <midfavila> i figured that out
[2025-11-14T19:01:30Z] <midfavila> :P
[2025-11-14T19:01:40Z] <esotericwarfare> haha
[2025-11-14T19:08:02Z] <midfavila> man the steam hardware is lookin crazy
[2025-11-14T19:25:18Z] <sad_plan> midfavila: I saw minute boosted a post about it, it said something about it being arm, think it was rockin a snapdragon SoC iirc. he seemed pretty stocked about it. havent really looked at it much further than that. isnt it just some vr thing?
[2025-11-14T19:30:21Z] <midfavila> nah there's a bunch of stuff
[2025-11-14T19:30:41Z] <midfavila> standalone VR headset w/ controllers and shit yea but also a new gamepad and a SFF PC
[2025-11-14T19:31:00Z] <midfavila> one sec i'll send you the trailer
[2025-11-14T19:31:15Z] <sad_plan> hm ok, so its an actall sff pc, the other stuff is just addons
[2025-11-14T19:31:18Z] <sad_plan> sweet
[2025-11-14T19:31:41Z] <midfavila> https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=OmKrKTwtukE
[2025-11-14T19:36:42Z] <evahasarrived> im not happy
[2025-11-14T19:36:46Z] <midfavila> owo?
[2025-11-14T19:37:44Z] <evahasarrived> yeah idk
[2025-11-14T19:37:56Z] <midfavila> oh shit you're right sad_plan it *is* arm-based
[2025-11-14T19:37:59Z] <midfavila> using an x86 translation layer
[2025-11-14T19:38:13Z] <midfavila> holy shit not only have we reached the year of the linux desktop we've reached the year of the arm desktop
[2025-11-14T19:38:22Z] <midfavila> basedbasedbasedbasedbasedbased
[2025-11-14T19:39:14Z] <midfavila> speaking of the fedi sad_plan i heard some talk about extending nntp to integrate with activitypub 
[2025-11-14T19:39:16Z] <Ozymandias42> just read this one sentence summary of darling in the franxx you wrote here evahasarrived . sounds like a copy of the Evangelion formula reading it like that.
[2025-11-14T19:39:17Z] <midfavila> have you heard of that?
[2025-11-14T19:39:37Z] <sad_plan> midfavila: im disappointed they didnt name any specs here, but im guessing this is going to be rather popular. the steamdeck is very popular from what ive gathered. actually been contemplating buying one myself, but never bothered
[2025-11-14T19:39:42Z] <sad_plan> midfavila: I have not
[2025-11-14T19:39:53Z] <midfavila> hmmmmm
[2025-11-14T19:39:55Z] <midfavila> fair
[2025-11-14T19:40:04Z] <midfavila> i'm thinking about ways to reduce my web usage even further
[2025-11-14T19:40:04Z] <sad_plan> also; 'steam library' *laughs in piracy*
[2025-11-14T19:40:34Z] <midfavila> the main challenge i foresee with nntp and activitypub is that nntp is like
[2025-11-14T19:40:47Z] <midfavila> outside of binary modes, intended to only be used for text
[2025-11-14T19:41:14Z] <midfavila> so you'll need a client that can either do inline stuff or can pipe data embedded in xhtml to local programs
[2025-11-14T19:41:29Z] <midfavila> then again i can't see that being terribly hard
[2025-11-14T19:41:39Z] <midfavila> gives me a reason to try writing an nntp client to replace xrn
[2025-11-14T19:41:51Z] <midfavila> (i love you xrn but you're a disaster, it's not me, it's you)
[2025-11-14T19:46:24Z] <sad_plan> lol
[2025-11-14T20:05:01Z] <midfavila> sad_plan:  https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fediverse-ideas/issues/46

[2025-11-14T20:05:23Z] <midfavila> :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
[2025-11-14T20:06:26Z] <midfavila> it even supports xfaces
[2025-11-14T20:06:28Z] <midfavila> that's adorable
[2025-11-14T20:06:38Z] <midfavila> this is computers
[2025-11-14T20:07:54Z] <midfavila> aaa i love seeing older tech being reused like this
[2025-11-14T20:10:49Z] <sad_plan> nice
[2025-11-14T22:51:08Z] <evahasarrived> whatever that means
[2025-11-14T22:51:09Z] <evahasarrived> ozy
