[2026-03-23T00:41:40Z] <kre66> webkit for surf browser ?
[2026-03-23T00:42:22Z] <kre66> oh its in the xorg repo 
[2026-03-23T00:43:09Z] <kre66> ram, ssd, gpu prices are soaring and i want to buy some when they crash xD
[2026-03-23T00:44:02Z] <midfavila> everything is going crazy atm
[2026-03-23T00:44:21Z] <midfavila> it's to be expected with the americans spreading Freedom:tm: and Democracy:c: in west asia again
[2026-03-23T00:44:59Z] <midfavila> has ddr3 been hit?
[2026-03-23T00:45:05Z] <midfavila> i know 5 and 4 were crazy
[2026-03-23T00:57:26Z] <kre66> not much in my shith0le place
[2026-03-23T00:57:37Z] <kre66> but ssds are through the roof
[2026-03-23T00:58:51Z] <midfavila> rip
[2026-03-23T02:16:05Z] <utik> Would it be fine to just use the binary kernal config from my Gentoo system when installing?
[2026-03-23T02:17:36Z] <kre66> guess so if the modules are baked into the kernel <y>
[2026-03-23T02:18:04Z] <kre66> else you might need initramfs 
[2026-03-23T02:49:39Z] <midfavila> man i really need to get back into programming
[2026-03-23T02:49:41Z] <midfavila> it's been like
[2026-03-23T02:49:47Z] <midfavila> two fucking years since i've done anything computery
[2026-03-23T02:50:13Z] <midfavila> i was super close to having a minimum viable product with apportate, too
[2026-03-23T03:40:38Z] <kris_> midfavila: you should its good for brain
[2026-03-23T03:41:02Z] <kris_> im getting tired of writing code, spend way too much time on it
[2026-03-23T03:49:41Z] <midfavila> kris i'm too busy with other brain things xwx
[2026-03-23T03:50:22Z] <midfavila> i've decided that i'm going to try and enrol at the local university for 2027 
[2026-03-23T03:50:43Z] <midfavila> if for no other reason than to be able to coast on student loans and savings while studying computer shit
[2026-03-23T03:50:51Z] <midfavila> i somehow doubt i'll care at all about most of the course materials
[2026-03-23T03:51:17Z] <midfavila> i can't wait to learn how to make unity games using scratch oh my god!!!
[2026-03-23T05:26:41Z] <kris_> midfavila: if it makes you feel any better most of the compsci classes here are C/assembly/C++
[2026-03-23T05:26:51Z] <kris_> small amount of javascript 
[2026-03-23T05:45:59Z] <midfavila> i'm assuming you qualified for a half-decent school though
[2026-03-23T05:46:14Z] <midfavila> lol
[2026-03-23T05:47:08Z] <kris_> midfavila: it's an american university, no it isn't half-decent
[2026-03-23T05:47:17Z] <kris_> i can go on and on about that but they're all shit
[2026-03-23T05:47:51Z] <kris_> for me usually shit classes end up having been a good experience somehow
[2026-03-23T05:47:59Z] <kris_> like my politics professor was a fucking loser but i learned a lot from him idk
[2026-03-23T05:55:59Z] <midfavila> fair enough ig
[2026-03-23T05:56:18Z] <midfavila> idk to be honest it seems like going to school is a scam at this point
[2026-03-23T05:56:24Z] <kris_> (it is)
[2026-03-23T05:56:26Z] <midfavila> professors don't even do their jobs half the time
[2026-03-23T05:56:27Z] <kris_> (its also not, it depends)
[2026-03-23T05:56:35Z] <midfavila> like the whole degree for a job thing is obviously a scam at this point
[2026-03-23T05:56:43Z] <midfavila> but i would still want to go to learn and like
[2026-03-23T05:56:47Z] <midfavila> do the whole uni *thing*
[2026-03-23T05:56:51Z] <kris_> im not there for the information in my classes im there because at least with american unis, idk how it works elsewhere, they hook you up with a LOT of resources
[2026-03-23T05:57:00Z] <kris_> since neither of my parents graduated school they give me a lot of DEI shit
[2026-03-23T05:57:08Z] <kris_> and theres job listings just for "first gen college students" like me
[2026-03-23T05:57:12Z] <kris_> shit like that is why you go
[2026-03-23T05:57:15Z] <kris_> + networking
[2026-03-23T05:57:17Z] <kris_> + making frens
[2026-03-23T05:57:32Z] <midfavila> i don't get any DEI shit despite having been a homeless orphan in dickensian poverty
[2026-03-23T05:57:38Z] <midfavila> because i was in the system in a different province
[2026-03-23T05:57:39Z] <midfavila> lmao
[2026-03-23T05:58:05Z] <midfavila> i would have to move back to the other side of the country to qualify for anything, but at that point my cost of living would like, quadruple
[2026-03-23T05:58:24Z] <kris_> well theres also the non DEI stuff, my uni has an internal job board that nobody external has access to and they link up with employers manually
[2026-03-23T05:58:30Z] <kris_> keeps AI slop out and scams out and etc
[2026-03-23T05:58:33Z] <kris_> and lowers competition 
[2026-03-23T05:58:43Z] <midfavila> see even with that idk how worth it is
[2026-03-23T05:58:50Z] <midfavila> worth it it is even
[2026-03-23T05:59:02Z] <midfavila> idk we'll fine out
[2026-03-23T05:59:18Z] <midfavila> *find* out
[2026-03-23T05:59:19Z] <midfavila> fuck
[2026-03-23T05:59:26Z] <midfavila> i need to sleep soon
[2026-03-23T05:59:27Z] <kris_> for me its been an interesting exercise in tolerance
[2026-03-23T05:59:36Z] <kris_> like not losing my shit with my liberal polisci prof
[2026-03-23T06:00:20Z] <kris_> anwyay
[2026-03-23T06:00:24Z] <midfavila> see the thing for me is that i have zero chill at this point so i would 100% just get into a yelling match if they started trying to justify turning pragus into ragus to make the line go up or some shit
[2026-03-23T06:00:28Z] <midfavila> :v
[2026-03-23T06:00:30Z] <kris_> its impossible for anyone to tell you its worth it
[2026-03-23T06:00:33Z] <kris_> or not worth it
[2026-03-23T06:00:37Z] <midfavila> yeah i get it
[2026-03-23T06:00:44Z] <kris_> its so hyper situational but trust me nobody is gonna give you a job because you have a degree
[2026-03-23T06:00:47Z] <kris_> that's asinine 
[2026-03-23T06:00:50Z] <midfavila> it's not like i'm in a rush lol
[2026-03-23T06:00:54Z] <kris_> that thought i mean
[2026-03-23T06:00:59Z] <midfavila> oh i'm not even concerned about the job situation
[2026-03-23T06:01:00Z] <kris_> BUT internships do you good
[2026-03-23T06:01:07Z] <midfavila> i've accepted that i'm fried in that department 
[2026-03-23T06:01:20Z] <midfavila> i just want to be able to take time off work to study 
[2026-03-23T06:07:29Z] <kris_> well whatever you decide i think you'll figure something out
