[2026-04-13T04:26:37Z] hot take of the day [2026-04-13T04:26:53Z] if your software needs to link to Xft to render fonts it's not fucking minimal [2026-04-13T04:27:14Z] why the FUCK should i install freetype+harfbuzz plus everything they depend on just to render some text [2026-04-13T04:27:18Z] >:C [2026-04-13T04:29:56Z] i guess that's another project to put on the pile... deadpixi has a nice and clean terminal emulation library, libtmt [2026-04-13T04:30:12Z] could probably use that and movq/vain's tutorial on X terminals... [2026-04-13T04:30:15Z] hmm [2026-04-13T05:57:15Z] https://contavelo.com/ [2026-04-13T05:57:20Z] neat new front shift system for bikes [2026-04-13T08:08:21Z] we are now routed through my amnesic vpn gateway [2026-04-13T08:08:25Z] we meaning my router [2026-04-13T08:08:28Z] bouncer* [2026-04-13T10:31:46Z] asdf [2026-04-13T12:11:21Z] in theory i can stop spamming rejoin messages now [2026-04-13T12:11:29Z] tbd [2026-04-13T12:39:23Z] kris_: no worries about that [2026-04-13T12:39:56Z] ive been kicked out of channels over that so [2026-04-13T12:40:24Z] its still not done- for some reason i cant access my bouncer from my vpn hosted on my primary router anymore [2026-04-13T12:40:39Z] if im on my actual lan its fine but its weird because the rules are like identical for both [2026-04-13T12:40:57Z] since im still at home im here for the next few mins tho [2026-04-13T12:41:22Z] oh [2026-04-13T12:41:44Z] well if it's channel rule, altho it's kinda unavoidable unless you have the right setup [2026-04-13T12:42:05Z] I think that's kinda dumb, especially as modern clients allow to hide/collapse join/leave events [2026-04-13T12:42:09Z] yeah but ive left/connected like 30 times over the past hour [2026-04-13T12:42:16Z] oh [2026-04-13T12:42:19Z] and yeah i agree but some people refuse to use modern clients [2026-04-13T12:42:32Z] well yea that might be a tad too much for some [2026-04-13T12:42:35Z] but I'll figure it out eventually [2026-04-13T12:42:50Z] I think archiveteam explicitly bans leaving and joining a crapload of times per hour [2026-04-13T12:42:56Z] doesn't matter to me honestly :P [2026-04-13T12:43:02Z] it workie totally fine for a few minutes after i reboot my vpn gateway [2026-04-13T12:43:08Z] and then it just doesnt anymore [2026-04-13T12:43:12Z] that's weird [2026-04-13T12:43:15Z] though its still working as a vpn gateway [2026-04-13T12:43:18Z] yes very [2026-04-13T12:43:59Z] its only the remote access VPN devices that are dying [2026-04-13T14:03:15Z] kris_ btw did you see that supposed ban on non-american-made routers [2026-04-13T14:03:35Z] what're you gonna do when trump personally thanos snaps your networking gear out of existence [2026-04-13T15:43:01Z] what does non-american-made even mean [2026-04-13T15:43:05Z] isn't netgear, like, made in china? [2026-04-13T15:50:41Z] aight I looked it up [2026-04-13T15:50:54Z] it seriously wants everyone to start producing in america [2026-04-13T16:22:32Z] yeah [2026-04-13T16:22:41Z] well, it's their whole "pax silica" initiative [2026-04-13T16:23:25Z] personally i don't mind letting china manage industrial production. they're very competent [2026-04-13T16:23:32Z] that and it provides a counterweight to american influence [2026-04-13T16:23:47Z] that and i don't really feel like going and sitting in a factory screwing iphones together [2026-04-13T16:24:58Z] i have to wonder if the USA is trying to force domestic production because of the KMT and CPC slowly progressing towards mainland-taiwan reunification [2026-04-13T16:25:37Z] if that occurs, the fabs in taiwan will come under control of the CPC's five-year plans, unless taiwan is designated a SEZ or gets a deal like hong kong did [2026-04-13T16:25:52Z] i'm sure that that terrifies the american administration [2026-04-13T16:28:02Z] both on account of china being able to cut off advanced electronics fabbing and china being able to access such equipment outside the framework of american regulations and IP laws and shit [2026-04-13T16:49:53Z] kinda funny how they assume that nobody else can start new fabs while they want to enter the game [2026-04-13T16:50:10Z] I'm sure that if it really was an issue china could easily invest for local fabs [2026-04-13T17:24:46Z] from what i understand that's not quite the case [2026-04-13T17:25:00Z] TSMC is the leader in all relevant areas and it's not even a competition [2026-04-13T17:25:22Z] apparently samsung and intel are trying to scale up but they're really struggling to do so [2026-04-13T18:42:03Z] oh that's interesting [2026-04-13T18:42:05Z] and somewhat worrying [2026-04-13T19:09:07Z] eh not really [2026-04-13T19:11:22Z] i think i found it the issue with me not being able to properly run luakit under wayland. and it was really stupid.... I had to run `glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/` which is technically under a post-install for gtk+3. buuut I removed it like 2 years ago for some reason. [2026-04-13T19:11:35Z] i think it failed for me for some reason [2026-04-13T19:12:52Z] also, dery if things must be american made... people can likely no longer afford it. this kinda means that isp's can force their own shitty routers on all of their users [2026-04-13T19:13:10Z] I suppose thats a result anyhow [2026-04-13T19:31:03Z] oh shit apparently france is committing to moving to linux [2026-04-13T19:31:06Z] for all desktops [2026-04-13T19:31:27Z] this + 5% on the steam hardware survey [2026-04-13T19:31:33Z] year of the linux desktop!!!!!!!!!!
